There has been a new twist in the cabin controversy in Australia, as North Wollongong residents are now banned from using protective wrap to protect public viewing points.

Signs along Cliff Road warned beachgoers not to claim beachside viewpoints by wrapping them in cheerful wrapping.

“This is a shared public space,” they read.

“The use of plastic wrap or any material to close picnic shelters is prohibited.”

Wollongong Mayor Tania Brown said she was disappointed the council had to go as far as putting up the signs.

Council foresters had been ordered to “remove” the wrapping if they found it, he said. news.com.au.

It comes after NSW Premier Chris Minns set out bold new “rules” on the use of portable gazebos on Australia’s best beaches.

The national debate centers on the use of cabins to reserve places on the coast, a practice that has been deemed “un-Australian”.

“You can’t like, put a nail in the ground and claim the land as yours with the cabin, like Richard Nixon did with the moon,” Minns said Thursday.

‘It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just pick up a cabin and claim it.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has also dipped his toe into the cottage waters.

During an appearance on Today, Albanese said the practice “doesn’t work” and goes against the country’s egalitarian spirit.
