Subscriber only The president of the Ballina Chamber of Commerce has defended her decision to invite her husband, councillor Phil Meehan, to speak at an International Women s Day luncheon, on behalf of Ballina Shire Council. He will still be there, he won t speak at the event but he will be, as he always is, helping fundraise for breast cancer, supporting us like he always does, she said. Mrs Meehan, a former Ballina councillor herself, said she was shocked at the reaction the invite provoked and said it was never her intention to cause such a reaction. I acknowledge and understand council s decision, we will have a wonderful event and our keynote speaker will be Whiporie s Cate McQuillen, the creator of DirtGirl Wold, she said.
