DEAR News Of The Area, I WRITE in reply to Peter Dingle (Enough of the virtue signalling, Bellingen Council, NOTA, 24.7.26). When did teachers, nurses, essential service workers and others who can’t afford a $1 million mortgage become “minority and activist groups”? As someone who had the good fortune to buy a home in the […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE silence from Labor and the so-called feminists on Prime Minister Albanese’s appearance on the Deep Bush podcast has been deafening with Labor MPs seemingly condoning their boss’s appalling behaviour. If a male from the Opposition had made the same comments, the outrage from the Left party would have been […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I DISPUTE the Letter to the Editor submitted by Mark Hardy (Coffs CBD has a critical lack of parking, NOTA, 24/07/26). The CBD area of Coffs Harbour is a dead zone for the majority of Coffs Harbour shoppers already, and now it is suggested that we pay for a big […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE future of the Coffs Harbour CBD hangs in the balance, and without immediate, strategic action on parking and traffic congestion, we risk watching our local business district completely wither away. The primary issue plaguing our town centre is the critical lack of parking. The continued choking of vehicular traffic […]
DEAR News Of The Area, DURING the week my husband, Con, was admitted to Coffs Harbour Hospital with a heart problem. He was treated so well by all staff – cleaners, nurses, doctors, specialists, and so on. What professional and humane treatment he received. Con was able to be discharged within two days because of […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has produced some interesting insights. The most interesting one, to my mind, is to clarify what is meant by antisemitism, and what is the distinction between Judaism, Zionism, and the state of Israel. Judaism is an ethno-religion, comprising a mix of faith, […]
DEAR News Of The Area, WHENEVER I see that woman mentioned, I remind people that she is worth north of $25 million, much of it from the very government she attacks. As a serving Senator, she earns an annual salary exceeding $240,000 plus significant taxpayer-funded allowances and travel perquisites over her multi-decade career. She is […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I AM writing this to raise serious concerns about the treatment of stable owners and industry participants at Coffs Harbour Racecourse. While Racing NSW rightly places great importance on the welfare of horses, it appears that the welfare, livelihoods and wellbeing of the people who have invested in and supported […]
IT’S fantastic to report that this year’s Coffs Coast Mayoral Ball on 15 August is officially a sellout. It’s even better to note that the annual ball – as a fundraiser for Coffs Kids – has led to more than $65,000 worth of equipment and resources being donated to Coffs Harbour Health Campus, supporting children […]
DEAR News Of The Area, WE now have a Prime Minister who said he would be willing to shag Kylie Minogue, made a smirking sexualised joke about the female Prime Minister of Japan, and showed he is still a liar saying she gave him two melons when it was only one very special melon. Then […]
