FRANCOPHILES united once more to celebrate the National Day of France at one of the longest-running Bastille Day events in the country, held at Tillerman’s Restaurant in Tea Gardens on Sunday 19 July.
Although the auspicious date is actually 14 July, 60 celebrators packed into Tillerman’s, along the ‘Myall Riviera’, to enjoy exquisite French and French-inspired dining while listening to live music and trying to forget the World Cup loss to England early that morning.
The ‘beret brigade’ featured almost 20 items of headwear. One was even raspberry, like the kind you find at a second-hand store.
The long lunch formally began with a strong tradition

Bastille Day celebrations at Tillerman’s

of all singing ‘La Marseillaise’, the French national anthem, and then ‘Frère Jacques’, which became a round, table by table, ending with ground-shuddering ‘din, dan, don!’
The live band featured Jenny Erickson, from the Marais Project, with her son Siebe on keyboard and Adrian on violin.
“The musical trio does not have a name as such, but Jenny has been playing here on Bastille Day now for 26 years!” Tillerman’s Peter Hodges told NOTA.
“This year is the 28th year of Bastille Day celebrations in Tea Gardens, and here we have one of the most-attended Bastille Day celebrations in Australia,” Peter added - a hefty claim indeed.
The menu was, as expected, simply divine.
Cauliflower soup with cauliflower and hazelnut crumb began the culinary affair, creamy and understated, but blended perfectly with the complement of the sourdough, made by local business Benny’s Bread.
A delectable salad niçoise came next, reminiscent of Nice, the glamorous capital of the French Riviera, and its own elements of tuna, egg, tomato and fresh lettuce were all activated by the tangy olives and dressing.
The main was a very confident confit chicken with sarladaise potatoes, pommes de Terre Sarladaises being a canonical French potato dish made of only three ingredients: potatoes, garlic, and fat – typically of poultry, and its aroma preceded it, promising greatness and garlic.
“Garlic and parsley butter is a local specialty of Sarlat, in the Dordogne region of France,” Peter explained.
Even the loneliest soul would find comfort in this confit, as it elevates the ever-reliable,
versatile and humble potato to a new-found, god-like status.
Dessert was rounded out with crème au citron, a sweet and zesty zing to finish the long luncheon, tart in the best way possible. Just as the prisoners freed from the Bastille certainly ate better than they had in ages, so, too, did the Francophiles and French learners lucky enough to partake in this 28th outing and local observance, with high hopes for the 29th again next year.

Connecting to Country, and each other, at Stroud NAIDOC celebrations
By Thomas O’KEEFE
STROUD’S Lions Park was a place of laughter, learning and connection during a major NAIDOC Week celebration on Wednesday 15 July.
The free family event saw many children and adults alike celebrate Aboriginal culture and deepen their connection to Country.
The day began with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, led by Uncle Justin Ridgeway, which set the tone for a day built on respect, reflection and celebration.
Accompanied by Kaiyu on the didgeridoo, Uncle Justin invited everyone to let the smoke carry away their stress, allow them move forward with kindness, and continue to walk together as one race - the human
race - practising ‘wakulda,’ –walking together as one.
“One of the highlights of the day was the traditional Worimi dance workshop led by the young men from Murrook Culture Centre,” local author Rachel Barry told NOTA.
“Children and adults eagerly joined in, following their movements as they learned the Dance of Dreamtime to the music of the didgeridoo and the beat of the clap sticks.
“Participants learned the story of a time when only the spirits and the animals wandered the earth.
“The workshop offered a meaningful opportunity for everyone to experience culture through movement, music and storytelling,” she said.
“The experience has
made a lasting impression on the children,” said Katie Gorton, who runs a local family day care.
“The kids loved it, and they spoke all afternoon about the dance."
Throughout the morning, children participated in storytelling, and Rachel Barry shared her recently published and locally set children's book, Where Ripples Rise, encouraging kids to connect to Country.
Uncle Justin captivated the audience with Dreaming stories and spoke about the importance of storytelling in Aboriginal culture.
He shared how stories had been passed down through generations to teach, preserve knowledge, strengthen identity and maintain a deep connection to Country.
"My heart is so full,” said Newcastle artist Estelle Leishman, who was in Stroud as part of the celebrations.
“I had the pleasure of talking to a few young artists about my foraged paint-making practice, and showing them how to grind up ochre from the riverbed… I definitely felt a bit emotional seeing so many young ones running around saying, 'Look, ochre!'"
Kids also engaged in a nature hunt, exploring the site to find words in Gathang language and recording them in mini-zines, and were given the opportunity
to plant trees with Stroud Community Rivercare.
The day concluded with a free community barbecue provided by the Pathfinders Community Organisation, creating another opportunity for people to gather, share conversations and celebrate together.
During the event, Allan Raine from the Stroud Historical Society also spoke about the town's upcoming bicentenary celebrations.
“While Stroud is preparing to celebrate 200 years of European history, the story of this place stretches back thousands of years, acknowledging and paying respect to the
rich Aboriginal history and enduring connection to Country that has always existed here,” Allan said.
“This event showcased the strength of community partnerships and highlighted the value of creating opportunities for children to learn about the world's oldest living culture through meaningful, handson experiences,” Rachel Barry added.
Organisers thanked everyone who attended, along with the volunteers, presenters and partner organisations whose generosity and collaboration made the day such a memorable success.

Few disputes are as painful as those that erupt within a family after a death, especially where a family business, land and trusts are involved. In Wright v Kennedy (NSW Supreme Court, 2026), the Court had to untangle several claims at once.
Because the will’s intended gifts failed, almost the whole estate fell into a residue, shared by just two beneficiaries. The plaintiff argued the deceased had promised him certain properties, but his proprietary estoppel claim failed: there was no clear, unequivocal promise, and no reliance to his detriment. Hopeful family conversations are not binding assurances.
The Court found the family unit trust had been mismanaged. Assets were transferred on noncommercial terms and income distributed contrary to the trust deed, breaching the trustee’s obligations and a director’s
fiduciary duties. A recipient of misdirected trust property was liable for knowing receipt, because the conduct was oppressive, the Court ordered a buy-out of the affected shares and units.
The deceased’s five daughters succeeded in family provision claims: the will had not adequately provided for them, and the cost was shared proportionately between the two residuary beneficiaries.
The lessons are clear. Draft wills carefully; put property promises in writing; recognise family contributions in advance; and remember trustees and directors are held to strict standards.
If you are making a will or relying on a family promise, get advice now rather than hoping the law will fill the gaps later.

Bird flu could be catastrophic
KEEPING domestic cats inside has never been more important, experts say, as the number of confirmed H5N1 avian influenza cases on Australian soil hits 20 and affects four states.
While all detections of the highly infectious bird flu have so far been among migratory seabirds, the variant is known to affect more than 100 species of mammals, including felines.
Global research has indicated the mortality rate among infected domestic cats is between 50 and 90 per cent.
Animal Care Australia has advised pet owners, particularly those with cats and backyard birds, to take precautions now because cats can become ill following contact with infected birds or contaminated environments.
“Free-roaming cats are at a much higher risk of exposure to H5 bird flu,” the organisation said.
“Keeping your cat indoors or safely contained significantly reduces exposure and injury risks.
“Cats need secure housing and care now more than ever.”
The disease spreads easily through direct contact, droppings, respiratory secretions, or contaminated surfaces, feed, or water.
Cats are more likely to catch H5N1 as they are more likely to seek out or encounter sick or dead wild birds. Dogs, to a lesser extent, are also susceptible to the zoonotic disease, but the mortality rate is much lower.
Symptoms to watch for in cats include fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, severe eye or nasal discharge and difficulty breathing. Neurological signs can include tremors, seizures, or blindness.
The infection can progress quickly, so if people spot signs they should contact a vet immediately.
Suspected bird flu in native species
By Andrew STAFFORD and Laine CLARK, AAP
THE poultry industry is on alert after seven suspected bird flu cases were found in native species, potentially marking a new phase for the outbreak.
The poultry industry is on alert after seven sick greater crested terns were found in South Australia's southeast, sparking fears of a local transmission.
Five were collected from Southend in what could be the outbreak's first cluster of cases in Australia.
"This is the announcement conservationists have been dreading," the Invasive Species Council said.
Australia has 20 confirmed cases across SA, Western Australia, NSW and Queensland to date.
But only one has been discovered in an Australian native, non-migratory bird species.
The greater crested terns have been sent to the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness in Geelong for final testing to confirm whether they will be officially added to the growing list.
Authorities stressed there had been no detections in poultry or the broader agricultural industry and no mass mortalities, adding that the risk to human health remained low.
However the poultry industry was bunkering down following the "unwelcome news" in SA.
"There is a very high possibility that it will eventually get into poultry," SA primary industries minister Clare Scriven told reporters on Monday.
"What we have been focused on with industry is that they will be as prepared as possible."
SA chief veterinary officer Skye Fruean said the focus should be on surveillance in a bid to contain the disease's spread as authorities
Tasmania
waited on final testing results for the seven new suspected cases.
"We can't stop it spreading. What we can do is pick it up as early as possible and that will help us take action," she said.
"Until we get to the point of it being confirmed that we have local birds spreading it between each other, the situation doesn't change."
However the Invasive Species Council feared the discovery of the greater crested terns could mark a pivotal bird flu moment in Australia.
"If these cases represent local transmission, we're entering a very different phase of this outbreak," policy director Carol Booth said.
"Instead of isolated infected birds arriving on our shores, we're potentially seeing the virus spreading through Australian wildlife."
Greater crested terns are a common and widely distributed species on the Australian coastline.
They are approaching the breeding season, which increases the risk of transmission as the birds gather in close-knit colonies of thousands.
"We have watched this story unfold overseas. It starts with a handful of dead seabirds," Dr Booth said.
"Then breeding colonies begin collapsing ... entire populations of vulnerable wildlife are pushed towards the brink.
"No Australian wants to witness that happen here, but today is a reminder that it could."
She reiterated calls for the Commonwealth to invest $200 million in a wildlife resilience package.
It includes tightening invasive cat and fox control, eradicating invasive species from islands and restoring wetlands to strengthen aquatic bird habitats.
Final test results for the seven birds collected in SA were expected in one or two days.
"The overseas experience has shown that we do expect it to spread," Dr Fruean said.
"We don't know what this is going to mean for Australia but we are preparing for the worst."

Have your say on naming of Boronia Park netball courts and clubrooms
MIDCOAST Council is inviting the community to provide feedback on the proposed naming of the netball facilities at Boronia Park to be called ‘The Pauline Carr Netball Centre’.
The Great Lakes Netball Association has submitted a proposal to call the netball facilities ‘The Pauline Carr Netball Centre’.
This naming honours Pauline's decades of dedication to growing netball in the Great Lakes region.
Pauline played a leading role in getting a local netball competition running in the Forster area.
This started with the formation of the Great Lakes Netball Association in 1987 when Pauline served as President.
She also championed the establishment of netball games to Boronia Park as the sport grew in popularity in Forster.
Pauline's leadership was recognised nationally in 1992 when the association received the inaugural Prime Minister's Women in Sport Award for Community Initiative.
She also received individual recognition as the Great Lakes Sports Citizen of the year in 1991-92.
From the 1970s until her passing in February 2025, Pauline remained deeply involved in netball.
She was a mentor, advocate and
inspiration to many within the sport and was recognised as a Life Member of the Association.

Join the Great Aussie Fungi Hunt
By Nico LOMBARDO
THE Great Aussie Fungi Hunt 2026 is on, and community members are playing their part in a worldwide effort to catalogue mushroom species.
The Great Aussie Fungi Hunt is a yearly event organised by Fungimap, a not for profit, citizen-science organisation dedicated to researching and protecting Australian fungi.
One of the chief goals of the event is to encourage the participation of everyone, regardless of their knowledge on the field.
“It’s all citizen science, it’s not just researchers sitting in a university working on this,” said mycologist Heidi Prichard. “You don’t even have to know [about fungi], you just have to be interested.”
By downloading the free app iNaturalist, users can make “observations” by taking pictures of mushrooms that they find during their walks and cataloguing their location.
The data is verified through user collaboration and uploaded to a large database, where it will be
able to help scientists to map the known species of fungi and, ideally, further the knowledge on the ones that are still a mystery.
“We’ve got estimates from about 250 thousand up to a million fungi species in Australia and the world, and less than 10 per cent of them are described by science with a name. There’s lots of unknown things to discover,” said Ms Prichard.
The overall event has been a success, with 50,000 fungi observations expected to be submitted this month by users all across Australia.

Stinker's Stories
By John 'Stinker' CLARKE
Cook brought winds of change to the Bay
LIVING in tranquil Fingal Bay, surrounded by incredible natural beauty, it is difficult to visualise the area as a centre of great volcanic activity, bubbling and hissing lava, heaving earth movement and giant blocks tumbling into the sea.
In the time of great change the islands off our coastline were part of the mainland.
When finally the land settled and the water rose to create the islands the
Indigenous folk hunted and fished in and around Fingal Bay tens of thousands of years ago.
I am very respectful of the Worimi culture and feel their very presence.
Things began to change in a big way for the Aboriginal people on Friday 11 May 1770 with an entry into the log of Captain James Cook, made off Fingal, which read: "Winds southerly in the day and in the night westerly, a gentle breeze and clear weather at 4pm.
Passed at a distance of one mile, low rocky point which I name Point Stephens.
On the northern side of this point is an inlet which I call Port Stephens. That appeared to me from the mast head to be sheltered from all winds.
At the entrance lay three small islands, I think two of which are of tolerable height and on the main near the shore are some high round hills that make it appear like islands in passing the bay at this distance at two or three miles from the shore."
The "three small islands" mentioned in Cook's log are Boondelbah, Cabbage Tree
Early in his travels, Point Stephens (Fingal Outer Light) and Port Stephens were both named in honour of Captain Cook's mate Sir Philip Stephens, Secretary to the Admiralty.
It was not until 1845, however, that the name "Fingal Bay" first appeared on a map prepared by Naval Officer and Hydrographer Captain Phillip Parker King (1791-1856).
In his book The Fatal
Shore, author Robert Hughes writes of the arrival of the sailing ships: "The Aborigines and the fauna around them had possessed the landscape since time immemorial, and no other human eye had seen them. Now the protective glass of distance broke, in an instant, never to be restored."
How true.
One can only assume that shortly before identifying the most south-easterly
point, Point Stephens, and making the entry into his log, Cook would have seen the wide opening into a peaceful bay (Fingal Bay).
This opening has, on numerous occasions, been confused by those sailing north as the entrance to Port Stephens. This miscalculation has led to shipwrecks and others running aground.
This navigational confusion resulted in the
sailors and local fishermen referring to the expanse as False Bay, later to be named Fingal Bay.
Just to complicate the issue, Fingal Island, the landform, is not an island. Technically it is a tombola, or tide island. The Fingal Spit, which connects the mainland to the island, played a vital part in the history and development of Fingal and continues to do so.
Monster mulloway causes bedlam
By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE
I AM asked at times: “What is the biggest fish you have caught?”
I immediately think of a thumping cobia I caught off the rocks off Cabarita headland some years ago.
Kingfish, snapper and mulloway come to mind.
Then I think of the monster I caught off Fingal.
It was when I had Graham Duffy on board that I hooked my biggest jewfish, just on 75lb.
Talk about bedlam.
Stinkpot began to spin under the strength of the monster and plough towards a nearby shallow breaking reef.
We couldn’t find the torch.
Duffy’s language was rich and the thin prongs on the anchor had straightened and pulled.
The giant fish literally
towed us into deep water.
After a ferocious contest the fish was finally ours. Laying belly-up beside the boat, in the moonlight, just under the surface, it seemed that the fish was bigger than the boat.
Many jewfish over 30kg were taken over the years and each one had a special story.
Generally speaking, jewfish were well behaved. Two or three solid runs and that was about it.
Once inside the tinny they were quite content to relax and grunt occasionally.
Not so sharks and kingfish, who simply refuse to toss in the towelwrithing, head-banging and tail-thrashing, all making life on board unbearable.
Facing such a dilemma, the plan was to jam the top half of the fish under the front seat and shove the tail half under the back seat. Good in theory, however in practice there was very little that could be done.
On board, the big fish would go crazy, flipping
everything loose. Up in the air goes the tackle box, over goes the torch, was that my sunglasses that went over the side?
Interesting to note that I retired from targeting mulloway many years ago simply because they are too big for my small family and releasing the fish is out of the question as they rarely recover.
It took me ages to learn the habits of big mulloway that swim north from One Mile to Rocky Point then into Fingal Bay. I kept an accurate register of time, tide, month, moon phase, preferred bait and water temperature.
I calculated that I could catch mulloway out of Stinkpot 80 per cent of the time.
When I finally worked out how and where to catch mulloway regularly – I quit.

IF you only make time to admire one full moon this year, make it this one.
This weekend Australians will be treated to the Strawberry Moon - the highest full moon of 2026 in our skies.
The real spectacle comes after sunset, when it climbs high above the winter landscape and shines brilliantly throughout the night.
Despite its delicious name, don't expect a giant pink moon. The Strawberry Moon isn't named for its colour but for the time of year when wild strawberries were traditionally harvested by Native American communities in North America. The name has survived for centuries and is now used worldwide to describe June's full moon. For Australians, however,
this full moon has an extra claim to fame. Because it arrives just after the winter solstice, it follows the Sun's opposite path across the sky.
At this time of year, the midday Sun is low, so the full Moon takes the opposite route, soaring unusually high overhead.
In fact, it will be higher than any other full moon this year, making it a magnificent sight from every part of the country.
Adding another twist, this is also 2026's second MicroMoon. That simply means the Moon is near the farthest point in its orbit from Earth but don't expect to notice the difference with your eyes. It will still appear beautifully bright and dominate the winter sky.
One of the best things about this celestial event is that everyone can enjoy it for free. No telescope or binoculars are needed. Simply head outside after sunset, look toward the eastern sky as the Moon rises, then watch it climb steadily higher as darkness falls.
If you really want to experience its beauty, escape the city lights. A country paddock, beach, lookout or national park can transform the experience, revealing the Moon against a sky filled with countless stars.
The crisp winter air often provides some of the clearest skies of the year, making June

one of Australia's best months for stargazing.
The Strawberry Moon also reminds us how our changing seasons affect what we see overhead.
While people in the Northern Hemisphere see June's full moon hugging the horizon, Australians enjoy exactly the opposite view, with the Moon riding proudly high across the sky.
It's a wonderful example of how our place on Earth changes our perspective of the heavens.
So, grab a warm jacket, a hot drink and perhaps a camera.
Whether you're in Sydney, Perth, Darwin, Hobart or a small
country town in NSW, Australia's highest full moon of the year promises a memorable winter evening.
The next full moon, known as the Buck Moon, arrives on July 29, but it won't climb nearly as high as this one. For skywatchers, the Strawberry Moon is one of the standout celestial highlights of the Australian winter - and one well worth stepping outside to see.

DEAR Jasminda,
By JASMINDA
A local woman dyes and cuts my hair for a great price, but now she is home schooling so I have to put up with the noise of her kids. I don't even get a cup of tea any more. How do I tactfully go somewhere else without upsetting her?
Norrie D.
By Lynne MILES
DEAR Norrie,
Getting your hair cut and coloured isn't really about the
cut and colour, is it?
For many women, a trip to the hairdresser every six weeks is the one time that they can be pampered, and it is worth seeing yourself under bright lights with half a roll of Alfoil attached to your head to experience the sheer bliss of calming music, a head massage, and a cup of tea.
Then there is the final unveiling - a transformation that takes you from looking like Cruella de Vil to someone with shiny black tresses, soft curls, and a style that you know you'll never be able to replicate again until you're next in the hairdresser's seat.
That experience is worth paying for, and I think, now you have experienced the alternative, you realise that.
There is no joy whatsoever in having your hair cut in someone's kitchen, balancing on a stool with a view of the oven, then having
Candid view on Canada and cannabis
The Write Direction
By John BLACKBOURN
I HAVE just returned from five weeks in Canada; mainly on the eastern side.
It was my first experience visiting their major cities and governing locations.
Of course, the western side is much more easily reached from Australia and I have been there a number of times previously.
With what is presently happening in the USA, we have seen Australia and Canada much more aligned, politically and personally, and must rank them as our most-similar country, along with New Zealand.
Being the second largest country by size, behind Russia, we have many similarities with our government structures. Canada is a Commonwealth country and was developed along our firmly
established British foundations.
But of course, there are differences, and the first one I faced was the tolerance towards drug consumers because Canada has legalised the use of marijuana. This can be purchased in standalone outlets, everywhere. When entering one of the Fairmont Hotel’s most prestigious premises I observed a classically dressed lady of the early 50s age bracket who was simply staring ahead, trying to manage the flight of stairs, but clearly well under the influence of whatever she was using.
Similarly, on the streets of both Montreal and the capital city of Ottawa, the underclass of drug users was in evidence in groups, often in conflict with others, waiting for the shops to open that supply chemicals or the necessary pills to control their habits.
It appears that the government has set up areas, right in the middle of town near Government buildings, to help those in need and, at Ottawa, within sight of their parliament. I found it to be quite confronting and immediately thought what it might be like to be driving a vehicle
PM's podcast performance under fire
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 overwhelming
and ongoing. So no, it’s not time to let it go or sweep it under a rug! (It’s time to let that go, NOTA, 24/7/26.)
It was the PM’s choice to go on this podcast, no doubt hoping that he would appear “cool” and attract votes.
His “expressed admiration” for Kylie Minogue in a game of “shag, marry or date” certainly wasn't a compliment, it was cringeworthy! Albanese’s remarks, smirks
and gestures about the Japanese Prime Minister’s “melons” were highly inappropriate and disrespectful.
As for One Nation’s campaign, “Fire the Liar”, this, in my opinion, aptly addresses the consequences that should have applied when the PM misled Australians.
He broke pre-election promises, one being that there would be no changes to negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount.
It seems that the Prime Minister and others took full advantage of these benefits in the past, however it was decided that young people should not have the same wealth building opportunities.
The budget was never about intergenerational equity and fairness, it was always about raking in more tax money at the expense of investors to pay for Labor’s outof-control spending.
When a nation's leader has time
A thoroughly decent Government
DEAR News Of The Area,
I WRITE in response to the recent Letter to the Editor, Pauline wants a unified, safe and peaceful society (NOTA, 24/7/26).
I get it! A certain percentage of people feel aggrieved about the cost-of-living crises and want to kick the incumbent government.
Across the world, reactionary movements on the far right have gained support by exploiting insecurity, distrust, and anger at the status quo.
Reactionary movements that have changed governments, such as Brexit or the election of the Trump regime, have real-life outcomes.
They have resulted in more authoritarianism, poor governance,
corruption and austerity.
They haven’t addressed productivity and investment or made serious commitments to fixing the structural flaws of inequality, nor have they taken a constructive role in the world, despite the fact they may have “authentic” leaders.
There are social ramifications occurring in Australian politics and social media platforms that stem from deep structural flaws, inequalities, and institutional mechanisms brought on by neoliberal policies.
These policies have increased inequality, and financial insecurity for certain groups of people in our society. Groups like single parents, low-income, casualised or gig economy workers, and renters, just to name a few.
Whether it's corporate power that has grown too strong, housing that is too expensive, destructive tech and social media companies, supermarkets that overcharge, global gas and energy providers that charge too much or don’t pay enough tax, or gambling companies, Labor needs to look at where the market is failing people.
Labor Governments are now tasked with building on what they already know works and to offer a serious alternative to the conditions that allowed these structural faults to grow.
Here is what they have done to date while navigating the global shocks of COVID-related inflation, the oil and gas shock of the war in Ukraine, the war in Iran, and the trade disruptions from the tariff
to move to the bathroom to have the colour rinsed out.
Kneeling over a bath, dye running down the plughole while you hold a washer over your eyes, is a far cry from being in a recliner enjoying a head spa.
The obligatory head massage needs to be performed by an expert too, not a nine-year-old homeschooler on their recess break.
I would suggest that you do what every other person does when they change hairdressers: say nothing or make some sort of weak excuse that you are going au naturel and then hide every time you spot your former hairdresser in the street.
There is no easy way to leave, but your sanity is worth more than sticking with this one.
Carpe diem, Jasminda.
in the opposite direction to a driver who was under the influence and with such a nonchalant attitude. It was explained that the legalisation of drugs was a political reaction due to considerable demand from a measurable element within their society but that now the government has four years till the next election to try to control drug use or preferably heavily reduce its use before it becomes a major issue at subsequent elections.
Their Prime Minister Mark Carney is well respected within Canada and is widely regarded by Australians as a quality leader, but this issue is now causing public unrest in much of Canada.
to discuss “shagging”, “boinking like rabbits”, "aphrodisiacs" and “melons” on a podcast while the economy struggles, national security is under pressure and social cohesion continues to erode, it says all that needs to be said about our current priorities.
This was a shameful episode that disrespected the Japanese Prime Minister, Kylie Minogue, his wife and his office, and we should never forget it!
Regards, Ann Thompson.
impositions.
The Labor cost of living initiatives are: tax cuts for all; adult wages for 18-year-olds; wage increases; free TAFE; extended parental leave; Super paid on pay day; increased wages for childcare and aged care staff; three days of paid early childhood education; a reduction in fuel excise; securing future fuel supplies; free Medicare with more bulk billing and Urgent Care Clinics; a cap on the cost of pharmaceuticals; cheaper prescriptions for everyone; and covering more medications.
Labor has big spending programs to increase housing supply, help into housing for First Home Buyers, and careful changes to the housing tax settings for the investor class. They are bringing
back industrial manufacturing and creating quality jobs in the process.They have green-lighted dozens of utility-scale solar, wind, and storage projects, significantly boosting investor confidence after years of gridlock that now allows for three hours of free energy every day. It is also a government that cares about women, and one with a multicultural platform. It’s a government that looks to unite and not divide.
Labor is the only government that has done anything to address the cost of living. According to Albo you get more out of people by giving them a leg up than by pushing them down.
I think that makes them a thoroughly decent government, one that has delivered, albeit with more work to do.
Regards, Susan Jenvey.

THE VOICE
SEVEN, 7pm
Things are looking a little different on The Voice this season – but it won’t seem like it at first. For returning coaches Kate Miller-Heidke, Richard Marx, Ronan Keating and Melanie C, it’s business as usual – or so they think. ‘Dance Monkey’ singer Tones and I (pictured, second from the right) is joining the show as a secret fifth mentor, and her new colleagues do not see it coming. “We were all genuinely shocked when we discovered there was a fifth coach,” says Miller-Heidke. “None of us had any idea.” Details of Tones’ involvement are being kept strictly under wraps, but there’s no doubt she’s going to be a game-changer.
