YOUR SAY Red Cross Calling SIR,- The Horsham unit of Red Cross wants to thank the people of Horsham for their generous donations to Red Cross Calling in March. Special thanks also go to the section leaders and collectors whose voluntary work is a vital part of the campaign. Red Cross Calling for 2013 was a great success. The total for Horsham and district was $18,580 compared with $17,980 in 2012. People turn to Red Cross for support in times of natural disaster anywhere in the world.

This appeal allows Red Cross to carry out its everyday work in supporting thousands of vulnerable people in Australia and further afield. This also involves helping isolated elderly people and providing breakfast to hungry children as well as caring for people in crisis. Some areas of Horsham were not collected due to a shortage of volunteers so I’m keen to hear from anyone able to give up about three hours of their time next March.

Labour pains SIR,- In reply to the letter from John Herring, Kaniva, March 28 edition of the Weekly Advertiser. I’m not sure which planet John has been on, but his comments about the Labour Government are quite incredulous. Julia Gillard’s government is by far the worst government that Australia has ever had. A view held by the majority of the voting public. September polling day will demonstrate that with profound clarity. John has some very strange views of our current PM’s abilities and decisions. Don’t hold your breath John for a return of this inept and disastrous mob running the country at present.
I’d also appreciate any feedback your readers have on this year’s campaign. I’m
