Time to investigate The recent report in the Age clearly demonstrates why the Casey Council should be investigated by the Local Government Minister. It would appear that their conduct amounts to non-compliance with the Casey Council Code of Conduct. Again it seems that they forget that it is ratepayers' money, not theirs and that Casey Council needs to be held to account. The Casey Council should be acting with integrity and non-favour. In other words, propriety and honesty. Arvo Talvik, President, Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association (CRRA)

On 19 October the Cranbourne Star News Facebook page shared a story about the National Fuel Strike which occurred on Friday, 26 October. Here is how some readers reacted online: Derek Roper: Our government seem to love exporting everything cheap to overseas while we pay exaggerated prices for fuel etc... I hope the strike helps but really its up to them to help us. Belinda Burford: They just put it up earlier this week to cover the shortfall. Troy Ross: No matter what we need it in the end we will pay anything as they know we have to. Ali Uding: It's worth a shot. Power to the people. Boycott the big companies. Ian Earl: How do you think a strike will help. 72 per cent of our oil prices are as a result of world problems like OPEC reducing supply and forcing others to reduce their supply as has recently happened. The high cost of the US dollar and low cost of Aus dollar effects the price. A large proportion of the 32 per cent left goes in taxes. If our government reduced oil taxes where do you think they are going to get the money for other things. They will just increase taxes on other goods or reduce other fees. Rovel Shackleford: No; but a drop in the fuel tax will! Why we still have personal income tax is a mystery to me because we are already taxed to blazes on everything we purchase; oh I know there's a whole tax industry out there that needs a job.
