OPINION: If you've been reading the news about Mullumbimby lately, you'd think the locals all have two heads and pitchforks and breathe fire at you as you walk down its main street. Mullumbimby's famous these days as Australia's anti-vaxxer capital - where shops flout Covid-19 regulations on wearing masks. A story in the Sydney Morning Herald two weeks ago said local politicians were too scared to challenge them. Depending on your viewpoint, you probably hate Mullumbimby more than any other town in Australia. I know I would. Except for one thing: I'm from there.
