Letter: Working mothers deserve the same standard
The Tamworth Branch of the Australian Labor Party
Keep readingLetter: A remarkable double standard
Re: Deputy mayor under fire for ‘working mum’ remarks I listened to incoming Gunnedah Deputy Mayor Rob Hooke’s comments on ABC Radio about outgoing Deputy Mayor Kate McGrath, and frankly I was appalled. His suggestion that McGrath’s capacity to serve as Deputy Mayor was somehow compromised because she is a working mother with children is not only patronising, it could not be further from the truth. McGrath has already demonstrated that she can balance work, family and public service. She served successfully as Deputy Mayor for two years. She has also made perfectly clear why she chose not to nominate…
Keep readingLetter: Duty is not treachery
Denise writes she disagrees with Andrew Hastie on plenty politically, but Pauline Hanson’s attack on him is disgraceful.
Keep readingLetter: Perhaps read the curriculum first
Just when you thought political teacher-bashing could not become any more ridiculous, along comes the double act of Matt Canavan and Angus Taylor. Canavan blames the rise of the toxic online “manosphere” partly on the supposed “feminisation of our curriculum”, claiming boys are tired of being lectured about “how bad men are”. Taylor then jumps aboard, warning ominously about “political agendas” in schools.

Keep readingLetter: Media circus continues for Joyce
The media circus continues for Mr Joyce, bemoaning how badly he has been treated in one breath and acknowledging he has had many chances in the next. It’s easy to lose sight amidst all the performative cowboy nonsense (it can be found under the comedy gold section) on the abc app, and it’s easy to lose sight of the facts. Joyce admitted he knew the side effects of the medication but still chose to drink , and we all saw the end results. If these are the decisions he is making about his own person, why on earth would we…
Keep readingLetter: Tossing the good and keeping the crap
Re: Begin Rant: Stopping misinformation at the source The editor might not have been game to hark back “to when my dad was VC of NSW Farmers but I will back to when I was President. I established a “conference agenda committee” whose role was to weed out any repetitive motions and any factually incorrect motions. I put a motion in on my concern for the impact of EPBC legislation on farmers that was tossed out. So may be they don’t know how to cull efficiently, tossing out the good and keeping the crap.
