DEAR News Of The Area, IT has been a failure of government through its complacency in allowing evil to insidiously evolve within our communities that has now put our way of life persistently under threat from deranged ideologies and malicious activists that have proliferated in the absence of strong and rational decision making. This current […]
DEAR News Of The Area, IT is always front of mind to reach out to family and my friends after a shock. I remember, as many of us do, when we saw planes fly into skyscrapers almost 25 years ago. Our world changed. Last Sunday my country changed. Many Australians were needlessly killed. People died […]
DEAR News Of The Area, AUSTRALIA has just hit a historic milestone: renewables have overtaken fossil fuels for the first time. This isn’t a blip – it’s the acceleration of an energy transition that is now economically unstoppable. Solar, wind, and battery storage are dominating new investment globally, and Australia is finally reflecting that reality. […]

The world is already moving towards net zero with more than 84 percent of global GDP covered by net zero commitments. “We (Nationals members) just don’t believe […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE COALition seems desperate to live in a fact free zone. Let us dissect their decision to abandon their Net Zero policy to concentrate on power prices. What options are available to any government to lower electricity prices? To make this simpler, let us ignore any commitment to lower carbon […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE matters raised by Harry Creamer and Jake Little in a recent edition of your paper in relation to the National Party’s attitude to the policy of “Net Zero” require some response. The Nationals are as eager as anyone else to reduce carbon emissions and if we ever reached a […]
