Nimbin GoodTimes

Nimbin GoodTimes NGT is a free monthly newspaper for the vibrant Nimbin and Northern Rivers community in NSW Australia The paper is growing and evolving.

There have been three editors since the tabloid’s inception. The founding editor was Bob Hopkins – a prolific writer, with a “belief that an informed community meant a stronger community, that an open public discussion of issues meant a more thinking and considered group of people that will inevitably cause the community per se to get beyond the cliches and slogans that permeate and dominate the '

alternative' way.”

Bob Hopkins was succeeded in 1999 by the late Peter Atkinson, who held the reins for five years. He maintained that he didn’t mind reading something he disagreed with, as long as it was well argued, and he often reprinted John Pilger articles. Full credit to him for carrying the flag as long as he did. The present editor, since the February 2004 edition, is Bob Dooley, assisted by Sue Stock. They have drawn together a collection of regular contributors and layout, proofing support and distribution people. Under this team, the paper has grown from 8 pages with 1400 copies, to a 32 page 16,000 copy full-colour monster, with distribution throughout the Rainbow Region, from Tweed to Woodenbong, including Nimbin, Lismore, Byron, Kyogle, Casino and Murwillumbah. The involvement of new people brings fresh approaches, interesting ideas and new ways of doing things, and the topic of future directions is always open for discussion. As long as we keep the good times rolling.

🟠 LABOR'S CANNABIS DRIVING OVERHAUL JUST HIT A WALL IN THE NSW UPPER HOUSE WITH CHRIS MINNS NOT FINALISING COSTINGS 🟠

Chris Minns' bill to let registered medicinal cannabis patients drive with THC in their system was meant to pass last night. The debate ran to the 10pm cutoff instead, cut off mid speech, no vote taken.

Here's what's still sitting on the table while the clock does Labor's work for it. Transport Minister John Graham has conceded no modelling was done on what the scheme does to CTP prices, and green slips are compulsory, so if insurers reprice the risk every NSW driver pays for it. Registered patients will have their prescription status shown on their digital licence as a condition code, the same licence people hand over at every pub door. And the government's own study of more than 5,000 drivers, finished a year ago, won't be released until October, after the vote.

Patients deserve better than choosing between their medicine and their licence. They also deserve a scheme that's been costed and a parliament that's seen the evidence.
