    I'm not a bigot like many Australians are known to be.

    Boos spark outrage during welcome to country at dawn service

    Why, because early in the campaign they were not accepted if they were too dark, that only happened later when they didn't care who applied. But to dishonour those 70 is not Ur intention I'm sure. By the way, on their return they still could not vote, were not counted in a census and could not...

    Boos spark outrage during welcome to country at dawn service

    Perhaps the naming it "Welcome to Country" is the issue some people have trouble accepting? Maybe a name change to a "Coming Together" ceremony or something could be considered? NZlanders have a far better inclusion mindset allowing their Nat Anthem at ANZAC services etc in Mouri, Australian...

    Boos spark outrage during welcome to country at dawn service

    Ur the one preaching disunity imo. Maybe a name change to a "Coming Together" ceremony could be considered to appease those insulted by the idea of inclusion? The Welcome to Country acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land and their continuous connection to it, adding a layer of...

    Boos spark outrage during welcome to country at dawn service

    Maybe a name change to a "Coming Together" ceremony could be considered to appease those insulted by the idea of inclusion? Oddly NZers are more accepting than Australians, they even allow their Nat Anthem in Mouri at their ANZAC services, would we accept that here, I doubt it Australians are...

    Homegrown women's brand faces collapse after decades of service. Will your favourite footwear vanish soon?

    U must be joking, if there was a need it will happen. It has been warned since the www was introduced, bricks and mortar stores would vanish, it should be no surprise they will just be online.

    Campsite cleared with one hour’s notice sparks backlash

    Probably around 4 decades, but that doesn't mean there were no homeless, and public housing is a state issue, perhaps it needs to be a Fed issue, but imo the American style trailer park living is all that will happen.

    Campsite cleared with one hour’s notice sparks backlash

    Unfortunately, the reality is under our society, social order, or whatever, homelessness for whatever reason will always be. One only needs to look to the wealthiest nation on earth for a look into our future, it is already a fact of life the World over, no country is exempt or ever will be.

    Campsite cleared with one hour’s notice sparks backlash

    That may well be true, but regardless of the stadium, to assume housing would follow without it is fantasy. To suppose when the MCG was built everyone in Melb. was adequately housed is just laughable, let alone the whole state.

    Campsite cleared with one hour’s notice sparks backlash

    That hasn't been my experience, most rate notices don't reflect the true value and are usually very conservative estimates.

    Campsite cleared with one hour’s notice sparks backlash

    Sorry but we can't have public parks cluttered with homeless, they can move to camping, caravan parks, and the like. The same goes for those caravans or motor homes I see parked on the foreshore by public facilities. It may be tolerated in an emergency or till a place can be organised but not...

    Your vote matters: Here are several reminders for the upcoming May polls

    The $20 penalty isn't the problem the $60 victims of crime levy is. I had a court attendance for incorrect storage of a firearm for which I served a 6mth good behaviour term with the fine suspended, but the victims of crime levy was $800. Do actual people benefit from this or is it a furphy?
