Your Say: Ken Grundy, Naracoorte
Lessons to be learned from the referendum include; no need to recognise A&TSI people in the Constitution because like us, they are already included as Australians. The Constitution is the book of rules about how the Parliament will operate. Mentioning any group or individual is not appropriate. Change is required […]

One-eyed voice
Your say: Cliff Hignett
Mr Pomery is a very one-eyed barracker for the Liberal party and thinks anyone who does not curtsy to Mr Dutton is a lower form of life. (NEWS 11-10-23) I can promise him that I am not, and have never been, a member of the ALP. Where possible, I vote for […]
Climate Change response
Your Say: Cliff Hignett, Naracoorte.
Phillip Cornish (NEWS 6-9-23) complained about our tendency to blame climate disasters on ‘man made climate change’ and not accept that climate comes in ‘cycles’. In fact, climate science is the study of climate cycles – and not just the yearly summer/winter cycle – caused by the tilt of earth […]
Lethal humidity
Your Say: Ken Grundy, Naracoorte.
I was pleased to read Andrew Forrest’s recent comments where he acknowledged water vapour or humidity is a major factor affecting the climate. He called it “Lethal humidity”. I draw his attention to the massive burst of water vapour into the environment from undersea volcanic activity in the pacific. In […]
Embedded plastics & illnesses
Your Say: Heather Heggie, Naracoorte.
Australia seems to be losing several ‘wars’ with invaders – cane toads, buffel grass, wild pigs, feral deer, and many other introduced species of flora and fauna. Buffel grass burns catastrophically hot and destroys everything in its path. Plastic has become embedded in our buildings and vehicles and packaging. Insurance […]
Wind Turbines
Your Say: Suzie Porter.
I am trying to contact anyone in the South East who may have had dealings with AWS – Australian Wind and Solar. As a result of problems with my turbine, investigations have shown that Energy Safe Victoria has banned AWS from installing wind turbines. Complaints of blades blowing off and parts […]
The Voice
Your say: WT Pomery, Naracoorte.
I am sure I am not the only one that is tired of the letters of Cliff Hignett and his support of the Voice. In the News of the 1st March he stated “I think the Voice is a good idea, not least because it came from Aboriginals themselves”. No […]
Climate change reality check
Your Say: Ken Grundy, Naracoorte.
It must be acknowledged that actions to combat climate change and in particular, emissions, are impacting on practically every aspect of our lives. Some more directly than others, but eventually all are involved. We have been encouraged from many sources including scientists, environmentalists, the media and even some school kids, […]
Voice referendum
Your Say: Ken Banning. The PM is asking Australians to vote for the VOICE as a concept, its functions and powers will be determined by the Labour party, the Greens and indigenous activists after the referendum. Very much like signing a blank cheque. Our PM has promised to deliver the Uluru Statement from the Heart […]
Land rights
Your say: Philip Cornish, Bordertown . There is much debate in recent times about who owns the land and who has the rights to it. Many of us have had the opportunity to buy and own our own land or property, but is it really ours? In the Bible, the book of Psalms chapter 89 says […]
We are one
Your Say: Name supplied but withheld by request. As an Australian we have an amazing mixed heritage culture, and whether you’re First Nation, displaced convict or a more recent Australian there is one thing that resonates in all of us: we are one. The notion of allowing segregation to be written back into our constitution […]
