#matessavingmates Inc.

#matessavingmates Inc.

By Mel Tiver. #matessavingmates Inc. is a not for profit group which was started after a founding member lost her husband to drink driving last year. This started a manic desire to try and prevent drink driving from shattering the lives of other families and small communities.

Where would it stop? We should question the motives of anyone seeking such division.” Mr Grundy said the Australian Prime Minister was determined to have the Voice included in the Constitution. “Indigenous support gained through several hundred committees stands at around $38billion per year. One committee, the NIAA, […]
