Your Say: Tony Pasin MP, Federal Member for Barker, Shadow Assistant Minister Infrastructure and Transport. September is Rural Road Safety Month, an Australian Road Safety Foundation (ARSF) awareness campaign designed to highlight the additional risks that exist when driving on rural and remote roads. Despite fewer than a third of Australia’s population residing in major […]
Your Say: Heather Gibbons, Robe. As a response to receiving the referendum booklet I thought I would look up The National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA). It is run by a CEO and two deputy CEOs. So if NIAA gets $4.3 billion of taxpayers’ money every year, what are they doing with the money? This Executive […]
Your Say: Ken Grundy. The News headline last issue predicted a “Shake-up for Councils”. Minister for Local Government, Mr Geoff Brock, announced a plan to transform Local Government due to public feeling that Councils could move more to regional authorities or State Government could take over Council duties. Whichever way you look at this it […]
Your say: Doug Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, The Smith Family. I’m writing to express my deep appreciation and thanks to everyone across South Australia who supported The Smith Family’s 2023 Winter Appeal. It goes without saying that the last few years have been incredibly hard on all Australians – we have gone from the COVID-19 […]
Your Say: Cliff Hignett, Naracoorte. The article by Nasik Swami was essentially a free advertorial for the No case in the referendum. Why is the News passing up advertising revenue? And if you were paid then let’s have it marked ‘advertisement’ please. As I have said on these pages before, Tony Pasin’s opinion has no […]
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 […]
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 […]
Your Say: Heather Heggie, Naracoorte. The neurological damage from the forever chemicals and others, is well documented now after years of cover ups, and class actions are continuing against the chemical manufacturers. (Watch “Blackwater” starring Mark Ruffalo). Noosa was the first community in Australia to become plastic free and now others are joining the Boomerang […]

It’s mission is to coordinate responses to critical areas of need, such as emergency food vouchers, mental health and wellbeing projects, care packages, migrant settlement, suicide prevention and substance abuse. Our role is to support established services […]
Your Say: Ken Grundy, Naracoorte The impact on the farming community resulting from the legislation in WA requiring aboriginal approval prior to basic farm jobs like fencing is of concern to all farmers across the nation. Already similar restrictions apply in parts of Victoria while other States are likely to follow. Concerns range from simple […]
Your Say: Tony Pasin MP On July 25th more than 200 people attended a community forum at the Sir Robert Helpmann organsied and hosted by the Radiation Treatment Limestone Coast Working Party. I was extremely impressed with the event and I wish to commend the Working Party for its organisation. I also wish to congratulate […]
Your Say: Cliff Hignett, Naracoorte A pamphlet, just received in my mail box, states ‘The Voice – Risky! Unknown! Permanent!’. Rumour has it that this is just the first of many similar leaflets we will get in addition to the taxpayer-funded YES and NO cases. A quick read established that the arguments were the same […]
