Letter To The Editor
from Mackay Life
to Autumn, trips to the Bluewater Lagoon will be a given. Living in Dysart for a couple of years before moving to Mackay introduced me to some of the rugged coalfields beauty and I know of a back road between Nebo and Dysart where I can see a plethora of kangaroos.
Here in Mackay, it’s the little things I’m interested in sharing. Shoal Point for its sunset and the Black Cockatoos, I’ve noticed a lot of Black Cockatoos in the big trees near Pioneer State High School too. The lorikeets screeching in the palm trees on Wood Street at dusk as you enjoy a pre-dinner drink. People who grew up here may not think that’s interesting, but when you come from a country that doesn’t have that, it’s quite a buzz! And of course, love them or hate them, the flying foxes. At dusk I’ve noticed the mangroves beside the Showgrounds are home to hundreds.

What the Federal Government should be doing to combat the cost of living or rising interest rates?
What an exhausting question!
The Federal Government, or any level of Government cannot be responsible for what the Individual can do to combat the cost of living and rising interest rates.
The Individual can examine what moves them forward and puts them into the best position for future advancement.
Only the Individual can affect the change by identifying present and future income streams and current and past spending, to live within one's means.
It is hard, and it's never been easy, to actually put in differ- ent effort, and sustain that effort to change and develop better habits where the onus is on the Individual to identify and creatively solve one's own problems!
Pressure with cost of living, fluctuating interest rates, other economic dramas, are perennial.
No Government anywhere can stop the turbulence.
Making ends meet does improve one's lifestyle, relationships and level of gratitude. (Sender asked name not to be printed).
