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.

I hear the voices ask why should Australia do anything towards net zero when we contribute so little compared to other countries. But what […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE Australian people and our national economy are expected to shoulder an unquantified financial burden in the pursuit of net zero, a policy that, even if achieved, will have a negligible global impact on climate change. Australia accounts for around one percent of global emissions, meaning our efforts as a […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I WISH to comment on two items in your 21 November issue about net zero emissions for Cowper. The feature article by Andrew Vivian gave a comprehensive and balanced summary of the issues surrounding any policy towards net zero emissions by 2050.
