I hope the Member for Albury and all those politicians who voted for the privatisation of NSW Disability Services have “blood on their hands”.

NSW is the only state to fully privatise Disability Services and one has to ask the question why, given what rorts have occurred when other government services have been privatised.

My experience with privatisation has seen a reduction in services mainly due to private operators’ emphasis on budgets and costs at the expense of service delivery and client needs.

Hopefully the NSW government will get a conscience prick and reverse its decision to privatise Disability Services as privatisation has nothing to do with the NDIS and should never have been part of it.

Well said Bill Buckpitt (The Border Mail, February 15). You got it right with your letter ‘Govern For All’. I'd like to think it was sent to every politician in the country.

Two major issues that spring to mind are the refugee situation and taxation reform. A bipartisan approach to both these issues would go a long way to restoring a bit of faith in the people we have elected, no matter what political party they belong to.

A wise person once said that many important decisions could be made, if no-one wanted the credit. 

America should thank its lucky stars and stripes that at last it has a top president.

Malcolm Turnbull seems lost when it comes to trying to understand the word ‘protection’. He hasn't a clue and never will have. Protection means protecting the people, protecting Australian businesses, along with Australian workers, protecting the Australian way of life, but most of all and most paramount, is protecting our borders and coastlines from economical transients. 

I wish Donald Trump was Australia's leader instead of these Claytons leaders that seem to be leading Australia down the path of globalisation and over population, along with that nightmare of “free trade”.

Why would a country as Australia send overseas to China good produce to receive back by the boatload inferior, poor quality, cheap, nasty goods in return just for the sake of free trade. These cheap, inferior goods are the reason all of Australia's manufacturing has closed its doors or on the other hand, gone offshore.

Malcolm Turnbull is left in the dark without a light when it comes to looking after Australia.

Australia at present is an empty seat on a very, very, very overcrowded bus, and we are subjected to all sorts of tricks and scams from others wishing to take us to their way of thinking and living.

But perhaps Australia will one day thank its lucky stars that the likes of Pauline Hanson's One Nation will have a say in where we are headed. We can only hope?

In regards to the story ‘On the road to salvation’ (The Border Mail, February 11) I ask, what are the banks doing to help struggling drought-stricken farmers?

What are the politicians doing to help the struggling drought-stricken farmers in outback Queensland? Or Bourke? Evidently not enough, because Brendan Farrell has been organising hay-running trips since 2014, with the help of other truckies.

You don't have to be a millionaire to help your fellow man, Brendan says. So come on, send your $5 or $10 to Rotary Club, Sydney NSW, “Burrumbuttock Hay Runners”.
