Thanks to them, we now have to pay the power companies to take our electricity.
Who did this to us?
The government ministers who bowed to the demands of the power companies did this to us.
They have taken our money and handed it to those millionaire CEO's because they are the only people the government listen to.
Watch our local politicians stand up against us to excuse this rort.
That is the role they play in selling us out.
All we can do is to stand up for ourselves and take the power away from those who allowed this.
Vote out Libs and Nationals.
They have sold us out.

Assisted dying eases the pain
In reply to the letter in The Border Mail (Saturday August 7) by some religious leaders in the Riverina on Voluntary Assisted Dying, we make the following reply.
We lost a young member of our family last year to cancer which took nearly two years before her death.
The Palliative Care Unit gave her all that they had to ease her pain and suffering but it didn't work and the side effects of the many treatments and medications were horrendous in many ways.

Judicial system letting community down
When is the judicial system going to realise it's failing society and jail some of these criminals who terrorise our towns?
Every day I read about how these drug dependent criminals are let back into society with suspended sentences or community correction orders.
I know the jails are overflowing and this meth epidemic is bigger than the epidemic that law abiding citizens are being locked down for and fined huge amounts of money.
These criminals who are destroying peoples lives are forcing us to live in fear.
They are free to do as they please and they know it.
The police if they catch them are faced with watching these criminals walk from from the courts and laugh at a justice system that protects them.
I have witnessed this first hand and it defies belief.
It has to stop.
Just because these people are using drugs or any other reason doesn't automatically excuse their crimes.
If you break the law travelling up to five kilometres per hour over the speed limit and get caught you are fined and, if you don't pay it, your license is cancelled and registration is stopped to force you to pay.
But the criminal driving a stolen vehicle at insane speeds is endangering everyone's LIFE.
