DEAR News Of The Area, THROUGH the recent election the Australian people have sent a very clear message that we reject the notion of ongoing culture wars and attempts to divide us. We are a tolerant, multicultural society and though not perfect, after all we are a bunch of human beings, we obviously create enough […]
DEAR News Of The Area, A letter to NOTA dated 25 April requires a response. Perhaps Dave Williamson, in hindsight, a tax on a cow farting would have been better than a tax on innocent citizens by way of a thing called Robodebt. The remainder of Dave’s assertions appear to be groundless, ideological annotations as […]
