8/09/2008 | WHAT is it about the name Greg Watson? When mentioned, it appears to have the capacity to create a reaction of division and anger.
8/09/2008 | ALL residents of the Shoalhaven need to be reminded of the role and responsibilities that come with being an elected councillor.
8/09/2008 | INTERESTING that all the letters concerning the local council election you published on Wednesday last were all condemning G. Watson. How odd.
5/09/2008 | YET again we see intimidation and bullying being used as the preferred tactic of “the powers that be” in local politics (‘Bid to gag paper’ SCR, September 3).
5/09/2008 | PERHAPS the people of the Shoalhaven should consider a lot of changes on Shoalhaven Council.
5/09/2008 | WHILE I have due respect for all candidates going for the local council election and mayor positions I would question the mayoral candidates with no council experience going for the top job. We have them every election with pie-in-the-sky brainwaves, one being having the second airport in the Shoalhaven.
5/09/2008 | THE recent actions of the Mayor (‘Bid to gag paper’, SCR, September 3) are those of a bully and a tyrant.
3/09/2008 | I HAD to do a double-take over the Mayor Watson comment in Friday’s SCR in which he stated that “Council should develop site specific control plans for coastal villages other than Huskisson to ensure Gold Coast-style development can never happen.”
3/09/2008 | MY friends are a bit mean. They maintain problems the current elected leadership in the Shoalhaven City Council is having are self-inflicted. I personally believe the problems are more to do with forgetfulness.

1/09/2008 | I HAVE just read a letter published in this paper which has been written by the owner of a business establishment in Huskisson. He is telling us to beware of the policies of the Shoalhaven Action Campaign.
1/09/2008 | BANKWEST has produced a Quality of Life Index, rating the performance of 590 local government areas across Australia.
1/09/2008 | WITH the council elections now so close, it is a good time for people to consider what is the lifeblood of a democracy. It is the meaningful engagement of all citizens and the right to question the motives of politicians and to scrutinise their activities. In other words, it is power to the people.
29/08/2008 | NOW that Field 1 of the proposed synthetic hockey fields at Bernie Regan Oval has been marked out, Shoal
haven City councillors should take the time to inspect the development for which they recently gave approval.
29/08/2008 | WAY back in March 1998 I had a letter published in your paper concerning the wisecracking and bad behaviour of councillors who treated their responsibilities with contempt. Unfortunately, although some faces have changed, the arrogance, rudeness and contempt has not.
29/08/2008 | WE should all be grateful to Greg Watson for his recent How NOT To Vote letter drop for the coming council elections.
