By McGrath Foundation Families impacted by breast cancer in the Upper South-East of South Australia will receive a huge boost in support, with the addition of a new McGrath Breast Care Nurse to the area.

Your Say: Nick McBride MP, Member for MacKillop The Member for MacKillop, Nick McBride MP, has welcomed specific spending on Education and Health in this year’s Labor State Budget, but says there are still many areas that need to be addressed in the region. Mr McBride says he was pleased to see money directed towards […]
Your Say: Helen and Kingsley Baker, Naracoorte Every day we walk our dogs along the Naracoorte creek, weather allowing, and different sections each day. Walking down the ramp behind Foodland to get onto the walk, what a shock we got. The section to the right to go under the railway bridge was blocked off by […]
Your Say: Jennifer Grundy, Naracoorte An increase in population in our cities and towns begs the question, to what end?

Your Say: KL Moyle Congratulations to Ken Grundy, WT Pomery, Arnie Phitzner and Heather Gibbons on their letters in “Your Say” Wed May 31 2023. 1. Surely it is time for all ordinary people to realise our rights have been and are being eroded at an alarming rate. Sadly, the old adage “You never know […]
Your Say: Anne Lyons, Naracoorte Regarding the “Pasin Voice” article printed in The News issue 153, 7th June, I think Mr Hignett is underselling the intelligence of Tony Pasin.
