A Byron Shire councillor has slammed streaming giant Netflix for not consulting with key stakeholders – including the local Indigenous community – before production of its new reality series started.
Filming has reportedly started on ‘Byron Baes’ which has been at the receiving end of widespread community criticism, including a paddle out protest last month.
Councillor Cate Coorey raised an urgency motion to help businesses understand their rights relating to people filming productions in the shire.
The motion passed 5 votes to 2.
