QW: To the brave misogynist

RE:  Deputy mayor under fire for ‘working mum’ remarks

Cr Hooke is a brave misogynist to talk down a working Mum anywhere, especially a live wire who knows what she is doing.

It appears that the Nationals are returning to GSC to lead the town back into the mists of the 19th century where husbands voted for their wives who should always be bare-foot, pregnant and in the kitchen waiting in anxious anticipation for the return of their spouses.  Nationals – the party you have when you want nothing done!!

QW: Waste of Duval

Although I have not lived in Armidale for 30 years I well recall the urgency of getting a second high school in the town. AHS had too many students and it needed to be split. I had a profound sense of sadness when my old school was gutted. I also recently drove up past Duval and thought what an obscene waste of public money. We can’t run a health system but we build new schools when we had perfectly adequate ones in place.

QW: GISC meeting

Your coverage of the extraordinary meeting of the Glen Innes Severn Council on 10.9 26 was brilliant. I was there and your article even caught the nuances under the surface.
Well done.

QW: Cliquey nonsense

The Hillgrove Mine coverage was very interesting but too long, until got to the part about Armidale being very cliquey – what nonsense! If she is unable to find her ‘group’ among the many social groups in town, then ‘look to home first’.

Then the author went on to tear down the town – perhaps she should look elsewhere for a better place to live?

QW: a numbers game

At the end of the day, it’s a numbers game. The combined population of the Central West, New England, and Orana regions is just 6% of the NSW population.

QW: Who has to go without staff?

The three biggest employers in Inverell, Bindaree Beef, Boss Engineering and McLean Care all have large numbers of migrants on their staff. Without them they could not operate. Is Barnaby saying they will not be allowed to have staff?

QW: Do better Aunty

Until recent years I have been a strong advocate for the ABC. I still watch Joe O’Brien news. I was a regular panelist on The Drum.

The ABC has exposed countless corruption scandals so has a very important role. That is why it must return to the high standards it once employed.

From time to time it has been captured by minorities that have left many scratching their head. Without it Australia had a paucity of honest balanced reporting. Do better Aunty.

QW: Lack of consultation has become a trend

It’s kinda interesting that literally days after the mayors were uppity about not being consulted on the stupid Nationals pulling the plug on the REZ, that Armidale council did a Moylan and announced a huge plan no one wanted without any consultation. Let’s hope that this trend of big stupid idea no consultation ends quickly.
