Music forced upon us as we shop
It’s great that Westfield shopping centre now has a “quiet time” every Tuesday from 10.30am-11.30am, although (it) looks to me (like) a token measure and hardly sufficient. It’s how we…
Gosford CBD plan keeps changing

Boycott a bad idea
I will not comply with Peter Dutton’s request to boycott Woolworths, which in turn could mean the standing down of thousands of Australian workers. Misused words generate misleading actions. This…
Thank you to Adelene Village staff
