I note Bathurst Regional Council's welcome support for local businesses and sporting groups, but also its total neglect to support or even acknowledge the devastating impact this is also having on the music and cultural arts sectors.
This is a huge mistake which totally ignores the overwhelming tourism attraction provided by this sector of our community which entices visitors to our region.
When this event is finally over, will council's shameful coronavirus legacy be to have supported such a limited part of our community?
The optics of this announcement does not reflect well on the inclusiveness of council.
It is important to be seen not to be partisan, but instead to represent an entire community.
