DEAR News Of The Area, NEW Liberal leader Angus Taylor promises that by returning to Liberal values he will restore our standard of living, protect our way of life and restore the Australian dream of home ownership. In trying to sell this snake oil, he turns a blind eye to the fact that successive Liberal/Nationals […]
DEAR News Of The Area, IN the years since the Global Financial Crisis, one contradiction has quietly persisted at the heart of modern economic culture – a contradiction so glaring that it should unsettle anyone who still believes our systems reward contribution and punish harm. We shame the unemployed. We mock them, dismiss them, and […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I WISH to raise the issue of koala fence crossings erected along the new section of Ocean Drive. It is apparent kangaroos, deer and motor vehicles have been protected by the erection of fencing. However the fencing has had overpasses built over it to allow koalas to cross the busy […]
DEAR News Of The Area, TWENTY-SEVEN years ago former MLA John Tingle and myself and some local businessmen made a submission for this part of the coast to be called the ‘Koala Coast’. The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games were looming and we thought this would be a great name for this area so as to […]
DEAR News Of The Area This is an open letter to Mayor Adam Roberts and State MP Robert Dwyer, and a request to our local leaders to explain to the community what overdevelopment means to them – and what they actively plan to do about it. People deserve to know where our elected representatives stand […]
DEAR News Of The Area, ONCE again David Lawrence from Dunbogan is making erroneous claims that climate change is a conspiracy promulgated by the United Nations and that the Covid vaccine was ineffective and unsafe. This disinformation is dangerous and completely unhelpful as we face the dire threats from the increase in CO2 in our […]
DEAR News Of The Area, AS a proud Australian I am appalled and embarrassed at the conduct of our so-called leaders. After any horrific event in our country, the latest being the Bondi massacre, our politicians are only too quick to get on the air and practice political score carding by blaming their opponents. Do […]
DEAR News Of The Area, IT has been a failure of government through its complacency in allowing evil to insidiously evolve within our communities that has now put our way of life persistently under threat from deranged ideologies and malicious activists that have proliferated in the absence of strong and rational decision making. This current […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE timber industry has been a major part of the mid-north coast’s history and economy for the last 170 years. Todd Lynch, along with many of us, is extremely concerned for the future of the industry and its participants. He believes that urgent government action should be taken to reverse […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I HEAR the constant refrain from others about the cost of electricity. Coal and gas are the cheaper options, they say, so we should use them. I hear the voices ask why should Australia do anything towards net zero when we contribute so little compared to other countries. But what […]
