hundred bucks a feral dog fox etc. The other thing that would help is only allowing the RSPCA to sell cats and dogs and ban breeding altogether. I’ve seen over the last few years the designer dogs who a trendy for a few years then abandoned like Dalmatians were popular then French bulldogs now cavoodels and cabaoodels then what same as Afghans in the seventies.
THANK YOU BARRY WALSH...I’M WITH YOU 100+% (NRT 24/2) Once upon a time. Something truly really wonderful happened. It was an historic land hand back decision to the Widjabul Wiabal people that established Lismore City Council as a Regional Leader in
BILLIONS FOR DEFENCE How pathetic it is the liberal national party are scaremongering because of the war in Ukraine and now announced their going to spend 18 billion dollars on defence from new nuclear submarine bases to massive recruitment be of soldiers. What a waste of money. Spend the 18 billion the environment, manufacturing more goods here electric cars for one and putting the train back on the north coast which could been used to evacuate people and bring freight into areas. We need more money spent on nano technology where we can get a battery the size of a 20-cent piece to power
CHAMELEON ALBO I wonder whom each way Albo will pretend to be this week. Last week it was a little of Bob Hawke, a little of Paul Keating and John Howard. Albo aspires to emulate past political standouts as he is confused about his own identity, he doesn’t really know who he is, he lacks and fortitude. He is an accomplished chameleon; he has managed to successfully change his colour to adapt to every opportune moment while hiding his real colours. Albo has successfully hidden the fact he is of the far left of the Labor party, has voted for every silly unsuccessful piece of legislation in parliament, has never presented a budget. He has never owned or managed a small or large business, he has however supported the unions, Labor’s main bountiful money source. The Labor party describes itself as a major centreleft political party if Albo is elected prime minister the scales will very quickly tilt much further to the left. One has to look at the

FERAL CATS FOXES AND DOGS The fact over a million native animals are killed every year by feral cats and dogs plus foxes. Leads me to think if this was domestic cats and dogs being killed by the millions there be outrage but nothing really, we continue to allow feral cats and dogs and foxes to predate on native animals and do jack all to stop it. One way which would help would put a bounty on all feral animals
have an even bigger homelessness crisis on our hands. This is a plea to any owners out there to consider renting out their properties to those in the community who desperately need somewhere to live for a period of say 3 – 6 months, which will give them time to get their houses cleared and cleaned and while they await building inspections. If you are not in a position to do so, please make a donation to local community organisations. Our generosity at this time is vital. Liz Friend Ocean Shores
What the hell have the Widjabul Wiabal people have to do with the incompetence of Lismore City Council over many years? Truly unbelievable. What I had naively thought might have seen a change in Council direction is once again in a faraway land. Benni Girard’s Hill

HOMELESSNESS ISSUE AFTER FLOODS There are many property owners in the Northern Rivers who leave their houses / apartments empty for a good portion of the year and only visit occasionally. As a result of the
a house and a battery the size of a car to power a whole town. Wasting money on defence is just that waste unless you have a hundred odd nuclear missiles pointed at every country in the world then it’s a waste of time because where still dependent on America and Britain for help if war broke out.

We’d love to hear from you!
reconciliation with First Nation’s People. HOWEVER, an Apprentice, newly learning, Councillor to Lismore City Council, has proposed that this historic gesture be...well, kinda cancelled ‘cos Lismore City Council needs to sell things to get themselves out of the $$$ pothole they are in

It’s a joke and a ban on breeding and pet shop selling dogs and cats would help minimise the feral cat and dog problem. Alan Mosley Yamba

shadow front bench, completely left wanting for political talent compared to the current front bench. Please remember a vote for Labor is a vote for the greens, Labor will never win an election without green preferences, the greens will demand payback if Labor is elected, like carbon taxes, destruction of coal and gas industry, and many other economies destroying socialist ideals. Everyone has to ask, which party is best health, borders, national security, economy and reliable power supply for small and large business to survive and prosper. Which parties will bow to China? G. MacDonald Pimlico ABC IS NOT BIASED In answer to MacDonalds letter (10/3/2022), the A.B.C. is not biased. Over the years both Labor and Liberal Governments have accused the A.B.C.
of being biased. Hard to be biased against both wouldn’t you say. The A.B.C. does not make the news, it reports it. If politicians are caught doing something illegal, unethical or just plain stupid you can’t accuse the A.B.C. of bias. As for the promised funding for the A.B.C., this is only restoring the cuts made by the Abbott Government. The Prime Minister is only promising this funding as there is an election coming up, he knows that there are a lot of voters who support the A.B.C. Holmes-a-Court has strict requirements before he will fund an independent. We won’t independent until they declare their funding. The independents are targeting Coalition seats because they are government. Note that they are all women and at least two of them are from Liberal backgrounds. To obtain
