🚨 **WIDOWS BAY: Council Spends $50K on ‘Inclusive Art Installation’ – Locals FURIOUS** 🚨

“Common sense has officially left the building,” fumed Karen Smith, a third-generation resident of Widows Bay. “We’ve got potholes swallowing sedans, the boat ramp has been closed for six months, and not a single lifeguard in sight. But sure, let’s drop fifty grand on a giant rainbow-painted anchor that says ‘All Are Welcome’ in five languages. We already know everyone is welcome! How about a working toilet block instead?”

The installation, titled “Anchoring Community”, was unveiled yesterday at the end of Bay Street. Designed by a Sydney artist, it features recycled steel and solar-powered fairy lights. The local council defended the spend, calling it a “bold statement of inclusivity for the 21st century.”

But locals aren’t buying it. The Widows Bay Ratepayers’ Association is already circulating a petition. “If you want to welcome people, fix the road so their cars don’t bottom out,” Smith added. “We don’t need a $50k decoration to tell us we’re nice people. We need common sense.”
