Opinion by Bush Turkey: The future of our clubs

Opinion by Bush Turkey: The future of our clubs

by | Sep 5, 2023 | , ,

With this local footy season nearly done, I’m going to share a quick opinion of my thoughts on where each of our 10 clubs is heading in the next few years. We don’t know yet where we will all be playing next year as the SANFL continues trying to please everyone in creating these new leagues. My tip is it will stay exactly as it currently is next year, and then some time after that the Mid SE and Western Border leagues will merge, and the KNTFL will keep going untouched. Regardless of where they play, these are my thoughts on the immediate future for our 10 current clubs. This year’s minor premiers Mundulla are like cockroaches – if there was a nuclear war, they would still come out happy and healthy and playing in the next year’s grand final. With a powerful senior list and some good juniors coming […]

Climate Change

by | Sep 5, 2023 | , ,

Your Say: Philip Cornish, Bordertown. It is so frustrating to see every time a natural disaster occurs somewhere in the world, that climate change activists jump on the bandwagon to claim more evidence of manmade climate change. To discover what really causes the climate to change, I want to refer to what the Bible reveals about the subject. It not only deals with spiritual matters of life, but reveals so much truth about the world we live in and the heavens above. For example, the Greeks were the first to suggest a round earth. The Romans denied it and drew the earth as a flat disk. Yet centuries before the Greeks, the book of Job (the oldest book in the Bible), suggested a round earth. So also did Isaiah, who refers to “the circle of the earth”. For many centuries man believed the earth was the fixed centre of the […]

By Sally Bywater. Second Semi Final: Saturday 2nd September 2023 : A Grade: Penola 58 (Tegan Lythgo) d Keith 36 (Stephanie Lubcke). Penola started strong in the first quarter with accurate shooting from April Possingham and Tegan Lythgo. Keith clawed it back in the first five minutes of the second quarter with strong defence, however Penola responded well and stepped it up a notch. Penola extended their lead in the third quarter with strong defensive pressure and accurate shooting. The last quarter, despite Keith’s relentless efforts, saw Penola take a strong win. A Reserves: Naracoorte 56 (Jemma Kavanagh) d Penola 51 (Sally Skeer). In beautiful playing conditions, Naracoorte came out firing with a four goal lead at quarter time, 13-9. Penola’s Kasey Venables shot accurately in the second, to make the score even at half time, 24 all. Penola’s Sally Skeer was strong through the mid court. Naracoorte’s Jemma Kavanagh didn’t […]

Labor complacent as road toll rises

by | Sep 5, 2023 | , ,

Your Say: Charlotte Edmunds, Office of Tony Pasin MP. Assistant Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport and Member for Barker Tony Pasin MP, says the Labor Government’s 90-day infrastructure review is delaying important road safety upgrades as the national road network falls into disrepair with billions of dollars in funding cuts and delays. “The Coalition Government set us on a trajectory of increased investment into road infrastructure, building what was needed for the safe and productive movement of goods and to ensure people get home to their loved ones.” “Not only has the Labor Government disrupted this trajectory, they’ve put the productivity of our road network on pause while we watch the road toll rise and our freight operators struggle with increased input costs. Labor’s infrastructure review is one we didn’t need and in truth, one we can’t afford,” Mr Pasin said. Mr Pasin said the road toll is unacceptably […]

By Georgia Gill. Second Semi Final: Saturday 2nd September 2023: Div 1 – Penola 49 d Kingston 41. The two in form sides of the Division One competition delivered the high quality game that everyone thought they would with Penola taking a slight lead at quarter time. Incredibly accurate shooting from Lythgo saw this lead extend to six at half time. Pink was crucial for her side as they continued to fight in the second half, but Penola maintained their composure as they pushed the difference out to nine at three quarter time. Despite Kingston winning the final quarter, it was not enough to stop Penola as they finished winners by eight goals, 49 to 41, booking their spot in the Grand Final. Div 2 – Border Districts 49 d Naracoorte 30. With Naracoorte delivering Borders their only loss for the season, the Div 2 game started as evenly as […]

It’s bureaucratic, says MP

It’s bureaucratic, says MP

by | Sep 5, 2023 | , ,

By Nasik Swami. Member for MacKillop Nick McBride says he does not support the Australian Indigenous Voice referendum. Mr McBride said the referendum was bureaucratic and would fail to deliver tangible outcomes for the indigenous people. While he welcomed the intent of the Bill currently before the South Australian Parliament, which will create an Indigenous Voice, he expressed some reservations. “In itself, the First Nations Voice Bill creates its own layers of bureaucracy. It is difficult to see how this process will work with or complement the range of work and mandates of a range of existing First Nations bodies, which are preserved under clause 7 of the bill,” he said. “This model has been layered over the top of numerous existing advisory bodies, structures, and advocacy groups, which I am told number more than 190. “The bill itself establishes layers of local and state bodies and at least four […]
