Another festival for Orange catering to both local and outside groups of cashed-up individuals, while so many families and individuals in our own community are essentially blocked out because they can't afford to throw money away just to get through the gate.

Let alone pay the exorbitant prices for the food and wine on offer, decided upon with the same group of cashed-up individuals in mind.

I love Orange. I can't afford to buy a home here, am barely affording to rent here, and am struggling to afford decent food here, yet I'm better off than so many others.

I know that as a fact.

POLL: Have your say …

But what if in the world, to have “enough” was, in fact, enough? Then those who had too much would gladly share their surplus with the many who have so little, and be better human beings for doing so.

A Winter Fire Festival that is free to all pensioners and low-income families that are struggling, with buses taking them to and from it – now we are talking.

The joy of them feeling wanted and included and able to participate in just one of the big festivals of Orange, their own community.

That would make us all feel rich, even if for just one weekend.

I would gladly be part of that conversation.
