Of course if they are going to build the line build it now and charge a betterment tax as suggested.
Newcastle cut its rail corridor put in rail interchange that lands you nowhere & a light rail that destroyed our only effective connecting street to east rather than use rail corridor. Cost billion

Must read Colin. America is becoming unreliable.

We all have to work harder to make our Government take Climate seriously and spend what is necessary to reduce carbon emissions and encourage global civilisation to prevent carbon emissions.

Jolly good to hear you loud and clear Cathy . I Recall a wonderful cartoon recently that clearly demonstrated graphically the Australian conundrum of a grassroots issue being pushed along by unthinking political people to a drum beat.

It is time that fossil Fuel Corporations accepted responsibility for the destruction that society is experiencing with the ever increasing damage from increased pollution caused by burning fossil fuels.

Thanks Colin

An amazing look back.

Dear Nannas good to hear you raising your voice for humanity. We live in dangerous times with Global Warming and political classes unable to stop rising global emissions of Carbon gases and the sad politicalisation of an anti-Australian tragedy that we all mourn.

I have personally enjoyed Linton Besser’s even-handed approach to reporting and his personal gravitas and humour on ABC Media Watch

Good intelligent women have lead the way this year.
Pleased to listen to
Dr Karenne Jurd’s occasional address on her award of Hon Doctor of science by University of Newcastle Dec 2025.

Banks have been unethically for too long. Years ago Building Societies but once banks got control of all lending houses became the endless rise that has put house ownership out of reach of young people. Lending to Fossil Fuel Corporations that will destroy the future of young people is outrageous

Should have phased coal mining out when the world’s scientists officially recognised Global Warming in 1957-8 and began measuring the damage we were doing by basing our colonial culture on fossil fuels. It may be too late now?

This is a significant turning point.

Liberals are being drawn down the Blackhole of stupidity by not listening to the scientific truth of Global Warming.

Thanks Robyn

I I write as a long-term supporter of the Australian conservation foundation. As a conservationist I always believed in stressing the truth of matters. However, in recent years there has been moved to weaponise falsehood by billionaire social media.

Throwing money at the Fire Economy, (Finance, Insurance & Real Estate) doesn’t build houses It’s Bank debt that builds Houses. Wake -up and tell Albanese too!

Outstanding planning stupidity of the Minns Government to destroy what’s left of our once valuable Environmental Planning & Assessment Act.

It is the Democratic Duty of every adult person in Australia to Vote for their favourite candidate.
Americans must vote or they are open to tyranny.
