DEAR News Of The Area, All l know is her name is Sheryl. She’s my guardian angel. I was minding a traumatised, timid, rescued, six-month-old kelpie for a friend, for only two nights, and she escaped. I kicked off my slippers and bolted, braless, across the boulevard in hot pursuit. With the early-morning sun in […]
DEAR News of the Area, IN my last letter I warned of unfounded, flawed claims being used by those opposed to One Nation to try to stop their surging popularity in Australia. Bill Robinson’s letter (‘Compassion and vision are essential’, NOTA, 31/7/26) is a prime example. It is an irrefutable fact that the recent OECD […]
DEAR News Of The Area, DONALD Trump’s Israeli-inspired war in the Middle East has given us all just a small insight into how a localised conflict can impact the Global economy and create chaos and hardship in people’s lives all over the world. It has also revealed just how our defence alliances inadvertently drag us […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I WISH to make some observations made by correspondent Peter Williams (Pauline wants a unified, safe and peaceful society, NOTA, 24/07/26). Australia’s cost of living is actually 16th in the world, according to the World Population Review website. Mr Williams’ assertion that this is the cause of Hanson’s increased popularity, […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE silence from Labor and the so-called feminists on Prime Minister Albanese’s appearance on the Deep Bush podcast has been deafening with Labor MPs seemingly condoning their boss’s appalling behaviour. If a male from the Opposition had made the same comments, the outrage from the Left party would have been […]
DEAR News Of The Area, ESSENCE of spirituality in Australia doesn’t make itself superior to anyone. Anyone entering into this becomes Australian, no matter what their background. Let us all be / become Australian … together. None of us created the world, created Australia, so how can we own it? But we are extended title […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has produced some interesting insights. The most interesting one, to my mind, is to clarify what is meant by antisemitism, and what is the distinction between Judaism, Zionism, and the state of Israel. Judaism is an ethno-religion, comprising a mix of faith, […]
DEAR News Of The Area, The media narrative suggesting regional people oppose renewable energy projects when the data unarguably shows the opposite is now the subject of a published academic paper (“Growing discontent on data centres as farmers fear renewable rollout repeat, The Land, 7/6). Poll after poll after poll, from Porter Novelli, 89 Degrees […]
DEAR News Of The Area, WHENEVER I see that woman mentioned, I remind people that she is worth north of $25 million, much of it from the very government she attacks. As a serving Senator, she earns an annual salary exceeding $240,000 plus significant taxpayer-funded allowances and travel perquisites over her multi-decade career. She is […]
DEAR News Of The Area, MORE rubbish rhetoric! Well, Albo and the current Labor Government are apparently “redistributing wealth” and “anti-opportunity”, and their recent mild tax tweaks are “Communist, Socialist and/or Marxist” depending on who you listen to; or, in the case of Pauline, all three – presumably because she doesn’t know the difference. I […]
