Narelle Rendalls, Ballina

With reference to the recent serious sexual assault allegations in Canberra, our Prime Minister has a lot to answer for.

Many of us can recall the image of the PM during the bushfires, imposing himself on a woman who obviously didn’t want to shake hands with him. Nonetheless he reached down to grab her hand for the photo opportunity. Will he ever understand that he should never force himself on a woman, whether sexually or not?

It’s obvious to me that he just doesn’t get it, and if he is the leader, what example does he provide?

  1. Well said Narelle, “shifty” Morrison has not answered an uncomfortable question in all the time he has been PM., he is certainly not going to start now. He manages the media to his liking and gets away with it; he accepts no responsibility for anything that does not fit his mo. and instead blames everyone else; he has no real leadership qualities except his marketing ability to peddle bullshit and thinks that he can talk and manage his way out of anything, he doesn’t appear to stand for anything progressive or visionary. I could go on but watch his popularity closely, I think the voters are on to him.

  2. We have a ‘con man – a user & an abuser’ – for a PM who insults our intelligence daily. His followers,
    equally damaging, go play monkey see, monkey do. The situation’s sickening.

Youth crime is increasing – what to do?

There is something strange going on with youth crime in rural and regional Australia. Normally, I treat hysterical rising delinquency claims with a pinch of salt – explicable by an increase in police numbers, or a headline-chasing tabloid, or a right-wing politician.
