The St Helens Neighbourhood House was broken in to over the weekend. It was distressing to find two laptops stolen along with a flat-screen television. Not only has this caused the staff great inconvenience and unnecessary costs, the community itself is disadvantaged by the loss of these important resources. It is very disappointing to think that people would steal from the House. The goals of the House are to support the community and the organisation achieves this through limited funding. If anyone within the community should hear of these items being offered for sale or any other whispers, please contact Trish O’Duffy at the House on 6376 1134.

This “We have a mandate” Federal Government is about to impose an unheralded levy and other measures on us, which will really hurt many low/single income families. One percent of say $40,000 is $400; for so many people amounts like that may well wipe out a small tax refund needed for helping with something vital. Continue reading
I would like to add my two bob to the Richardson Road Reservoir debate.
I have been a keen observer of the reservoir over the past ten years by way of its capacity to reduce nagging to a tolerable level. Grab the fishing rod and a couple of stubbies and watch the float jiggle as the trout play with the hook while surrounded by an absolute Tasmanian diamond. I sat on the wall one day while a platypus and two pups swam at my feet. I blinked, they crash dived and came up for air about 30 meters away. Continue reading
As the war propaganda machine went into top gear this past ANZAC week (and ongoing, no doubt) teaching our kids the ‘necessity’ and ‘justification’ of war with the saturation of war movies, personal anecdotes, commentaries and all the other paraphernalia that governments orchestrate when they want war support from the people they are supposed to be protecting – I went further and further into despair.
Lately, it was like living it all again – just like all I’ve been reading about and experiencing all my life. Like the deceit all over Europe that was confronting the masses, while Wall Street financed Hitler (a drop in the bucket). Continue reading
