BLL salutes you.

BLL has been accused by it's critics of bagging everything. Yes, I do bag things that need it, but I occassionally celebrate local power-brokers.
And today is one of those days where I hold up a glass to the powers that be in the Geelong region.

Firstly, I celebrate the Geelong Advertiser's coverage of the Chartwell collapse. Outstanding, sensational, and get this, I actually bought the paper for the first time in years.

Melbourne's "quality" paper was left floundering on this issue, and The Age even resorting to stealing the Addy's pictures without crediting the regional tabloid.

Particular mention goes to Aleks Devic, a young journo on the rise.

And while I'm giving credit to those I have criticised in the past, Cr Schroeter can take a bow for his position on the windfarm for the Winchelsea district.

When you attract the attention of anti-windfarm wackos in the USA, you've done well Councillor.

The pictures are taken by free-lancers, and were then sold on to newspapers that want them.
Ever heard of the term "Paparazzi" ? Aw groan !
