St Matthew’s is a symbol of a community working together. We don’t need to take this stuff lying down and we are following the lead of the Prime Minister in buying strawberries in support of our farmers.
RELATED:
St Matthew’s stands with the homeless, refugees, for equality and Indigenous recognition, the environment and people doing it tough.
Buying strawberries and fighting back for our farmers just makes good community sense in the face of this domestic terrorism.

Pick up after your dog
There is no doubt that dog owners in Albury City are well looked after. Council has gone to great lengths and considerable expense to provide well equipped and pleasant off-leash areas for dogs.
The facilities at Logan Road, Oddies Creek and Alexandra Park are second to none that I have seen in other cities. They provide agility equipment, water and, most importantly, free bags to pick up your dog droppings!
But every time I go to one of these parks, and I take my own bags, I routinely pick up other people’s dog droppings.
So dog owners, respect what you have been given and show respect for the other users. PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG!!
Councillor David Thurley, Lavington
Enjoying arts not elite
I am a 73-year-old OAP without superannuation and I save for my season ticket to HotHouse each year.
Over the years I have also attended various events staged by Murray Arts.
Enjoying the arts is not an elitist area.
I also view all the exhibitions at Artspace Wodonga and regularly attend the Library Museum and MAMA.

Make arts for the masses
The whole point about subsidies for the arts, Cr Quilty, is to make the arts affordable for all and to have the arts reach the masses.
You show such ignorance about who has an interest in the arts and who the arts must be available to.
Read some of Edward de Bono, Cr Quilty, and open your closed, narrow mind.
The arts are so important for communities and bring pleasure to many and bring all parts of society together.
Why does Cr Quilty think only the elite are interested in the arts?
I am sure many pensioners have an interest in the arts and deserve to be able to enjoy them.
You should have a long, hard look at why you are on council, Cr Quilty, and who you represent and perhaps even retract those comments if you can see the “big picture”.
Go to the ballet on Saturday night, Cr Quilty, and see a very broad audience mix.
Stuart Davie, Corowa
