OUT OF LOCKDOWN - YEAH ! Press Release below from Tamara Smith. Ballina MP Tamara Smith welcomed the announcement that the Northern Rivers can move out of lockdown this weekend, saying that every resident and business-owner will be greatly relieved by the news. “ With no cases in our area, giving people the freedom to leave their homes, put their kids back in school and go about their business was the only sensible and fair move” , Ms Smith said. “It puts an end to an untenable, one-size-fits-all reaction to COVID-19 from the LNP,” Ms Smith said. “People were quite rightly mystified and angry that they had been lumped in with Greater Sydney once there were no cases in the region, and no community transmission.” “Our community understands that if there is a COVID-19 case locally that there needs to be containment. But a precautionary model of shutting down the whole state when vast areas of the state have no cases, is extreme and has smashed regional economies and people’s trust in the decisions coming out of Macquarie Street.” “My office has been inundated with hundreds of constituent questions and concerns each week since lockdown, and we have advocated on behalf of many businesses who are facing imminent closure. Putting people through that kind of anxiety and financial strain, without compelling reasons should never happen.” “One of our previously thriving clubs has shared the news that they had fallen $85,000 in debt within two weeks of the lockdown, yet there is still no indication of support from government for them or the many businesses that are struggling. Many of these businesses are family-run, so the impact extends to all members of our community. As we come out of lockdown I encourage people to support our businesses by shopping local. “We continue to advocate for a more nuanced approach to COVID-19 – a tiered system of lockdown taking every region’s unique situation into consideration.” “I have express

Our Story

www.lennoxwave.com Helen Fry is the owner/publisher/editor of The Lennox Wave and its online sister mag, Wave Weekly. She is a passionate Lennox resident who bought the business six years ago.

“I started working on The Lennox Wave with its founder, Remy Tancred nearly 14 years ago as her new editor. It all started at the pub in early 2005 (a lot of the best stories do!). I was introduced to Remy’s father-in-law in the bar one night and after a brief chat about what I do (I used to be the communications manager and editor for a company in Sydney), he told me that his daughter-in-law, Remy, was on the look-out for a new editor to work with her on her magazine The Lennox Wave.

I leapt at the chance and rang Remy. We organised an interview and I turned up with my portfolio ready to show her what I could do. We hit it off immediately and before I could even get to show her anything, she gave me the job. With her help I got to slowly know and understand the community of Lennox Head. We worked together as a tight little team for eight years thoroughly enjoying the job of gathering stories and news to share with Lennox Headians.

In 2012 Remy decided she was ready to move on and, having done all the hard groundwork in establishing the magazine, offered The Lennox Wave to me saying: “I really want you to have it because I know you will keep it focused on the community”.
