DEAT News Of The Area, PHIL, a motorcyclist from Coffs, found my wallet last Saturday with my licence, a dozen other cards and $300 cash in it on Pine Creek Way, Bonville.

DEAR News Of The Area, I AM writing in response to David Eisler’s invitation to give examples of Labor’s lies. In my opinion there is only a fine line between telling a lie and obfuscation.
