An open letter to the Coffs Coast Advocate:

Dear Sir,

I wish to protest in the strongest possible terms over the lack of photos of Cr. Kerry Hines in your publication.

On most days the photos are scarce and shamefully small, and although I regret that I cannot now locate this issue in my collection, I am certain that once there were no photos of her at all!

It is hardly surprising, with journalistic standards slipping in this way, that people are deserting print media for the Internet, where photographs of Cr. Hines may be enjoyed on demand at any time of the day or night.

I have no idea what might be the motivation behind it, but I demand that you immediately cease your ugly vendetta against this fine councillor-realtor and give her the prominence to which she is due.

Matthew Davidson.
