Gold standard for council meetings

The Beagle Editor,
At council’s final meeting last week. Clr Jack Tait referred to the ‘Nimbin Syndrome’ on three occasions. So I thought I’d check out exactly what the ‘Nimbin Syndrome’ means. However, upon consulting my medical literature and the Psychiatrist’s Handbook, I could find no reference to this particular ‘syndrome’. I then contacted my friends in Nimbin to see if they could shed any light on the matter but, no, they too were unfamiliar with the term ‘Nimbin Syndrome’.
So I thought, okay, I’ll check with the Lismore Council Mayor herself to get to the bottom of this conundrum. She too was also bewildered but she did direct me to the way in which they do things up there in Lismore and this may be what Clr Jack Tait was referring to when he claimed that certain members of the public may be afflicted with the ‘Nimbin Syndrome’.
For your viewing pleasure, this is the way the Lismore Council conducts its meetings where people suffering from the ‘Nimbin Syndrome’ are able to present by registering to speak in the public forum session 15 minutes prior to the meeting. The meeting is livestreamed to council’s facebook page. Fast forward to the 4:10 minute mark .....
Yours sincerely
Coral Anderson
