21/11/2008 | TUESDAY night’s tragedy in Tathra illustrates just how quickly fate can step in to destroy life and snuff out the dreams and aspirations of those left behind.
19/11/2008 | THE message, quite simply, is “Spend.”
17/11/2008 | ANOTHER sign that things are changing in the Shoalhaven came on the weekend with the long-awaited opening of the Nowra Skate Park - a facility we should all be proud of.
14/11/2008 | JUST when governments around the world are pouring money into economies to stimulate spending, the NSW Government is doing the very opposite – raising taxes, cutting services, bundling costs back onto families.
12/11/2008 | ALL over the Shoalhaven yesterday, people paused to remember the sacrifices made by Australian servicemen and women in all conflicts throughout our history.
10/11/2008 | WHILE the State Government’s three-year moratorium on taking water from the Shoalhaven River certainly seems to be a win for the local area and the environment, we should be careful to not celebrate prematurely.
7/11/2008 | A CLOUD of doubt hangs over the Shoalhaven today, as uncertainty surrounds the future of four ABC Learning centres operating in the region.
5/11/2008 | LIKE many of the plans the State Government has hatched over the past few years, the proposal to end free bus travel for schoolchildren is ill considered and will have a particularly acute effect on regional NSW.
3/11/2008 | PEOPLE power in all its varieties of expression has long been championed as a way of bringing about change, of forcing governments and elected officials to listen to the will of the people they are supposed to represent.
31/10/2008 | THE trouble with roundabouts is really a problem that rests with drivers. For some strange reason motorists become particularly aggressive when they approach them – and that makes them more inclined to take unnecessary risks.
29/10/2008 | THEY say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that certainly applies to street art. We knew, however, that the examples brought to our attention qualified as both beautiful and art.
27/10/2008 | WHILE the Navy air show rightly takes the limelight, another local military connection was also celebrated in recent days.
24/10/2008 | WHY is it that we appear to be condemned to pay more for our fuel than motorists just to our north? Why are we invariably told we have failed to fully understand the ‘system’?
22/10/2008 | THE increase in the number of local people seeking counselling for their financial worries illustrates just how easy it can be for household budgets to slip out of control.
20/10/2008 | THE perilous state of the NSW health system, and the management failures at Shoalhaven Hospital in particular, continue to dog the State Government.
17/10/2008 | THE moment the State Government decided to restructure health services in NSW a few years ago, merging health services into giant areas, it was obvious medical services in the Shoalhaven would struggle.
15/10/2008 | WE could go on about all the bad news – the financial crisis, the health crisis, unemployment, poverty – but let’s focus on a real positive.
13/10/2008 | THE political point-scoring and blame-shifting over the recent surge in the local unemployment rate is unfortunate but somehow inevitable.
10/10/2008 | ONCE again, we find the Princes Highway being kicked around like a political football.
