To supporters of Gladys, can you please bear in mind that we are still waiting for the results of the inquiry regarding her relationship with ex-minister Maguire, to see if it was corrupt or not.

Also, it has recently been revealed that huge grants of taxpayers’ money were handed out by her, to get re-elected at that time.

This is not in any way how taxpayers’ money was meant to be spent. Just like the rest of her ministers – money thrown away, $30 million overpaid for land at Badgerys Creek, money wasted on trains and ferries not fit for purpose, and now the submarine debacle. The list goes on, fortunately, she doesn’t.

Joyce Walters, Ballina

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.
