4:00 AM AEDT | AT THIS time each year, the same question comes to mind – a question every one of us needs to ask ourselves: What does Easter mean to me? Why is it celebrated all over the western world?
4:00 AM AEDT | PLEASE allow me to put forward an alternate option to that of Pat Lightfoot (NDL, March 4).
Whilst wave power has merit, it is not likely to be the way of the future large-scale generation of electricity.
4:00 AM AEDT | I TRY to live by the ethical system and am a giver, not a taker.
4:00 AM AEDT | OUR hearts go out to the hoons who will no longer be able to use Lancaster Ave as a private speedway.
For decades a Tamworth institution, the avenue was an idiot magnet thanks to its unusual topography.
15 Mar 10 | MINERALS Council CEO Dr Nikki Williams has carried the art of spin to a level rarely since the release of the film Thank You For Not Smoking in her commentary on the recent Liverpool Plains exploration licence decision.
15 Mar 10 | Letters to the editor for Monday, March 15
13 Mar 10 | WHAT a peculiar and ugly world we live in these days. The latest example is the gross nudity featured at the (Sydney) Opera House. Five thousand people, with no sense of responsibility, hypnotised into dispensing with their clothes.
13 Mar 10 | NOT Dawkins again ... and his kindergarten-level babble about how a statistically meaningless principle explains (away) life. Richard, you won’t graduate from kindy until you realise, that without devising an adequate theory of consciousness – and the nature of its increasing complexity over time – you haven’t even begun to “explain” evolution.
13 Mar 10 | ON Saturday, March 6, myself and four others stopped to help a young man who had had a bad fall off a push bike.
13 Mar 10 | THANK you to all the staff at The Leader for their friendliness and help with starting my business.
Annie Williams
13 Mar 10 | IN reference to the many articles published over the last few weeks, I feel it is pertinent to comment on a recent episode of Animal Rescue, screened on Wednesday, March 3.
13 Mar 10 | IN the unlikely event you may have thought the NSW Government gives two hoots about the residents of Tamworth it is time to think again.
Earlier this week the State Treasurer, Eric Roozendaal, refused to confirm construction funds for the Tamworth hospital would be included in the budget he – or whoever is treasurer at that time – will hand down in June.
12 Mar 10 | ONLY the gullible couldn’t be at least slightly cynical about pollies and their perks.
It’s the only time the two sides of politics agree on anything.
12 Mar 10 | FOR 19 years the Nioka palliative care ward has given wonderful, caring service to the citizens of Tamworth and district.
12 Mar 10 | MYSELF and a few of my friends manned the canteen at the North Tamworth League Club on Saturday, February 27, for the Greater Northern Academy Carnival.
12 Mar 10 | WILL they or won’t they? With just over 12 months until the NSW Government goes to the polls, it still won’t say for sure whether or not it will fund the $330 million Tamworth Hospital redevelopment.
11 Mar 10 | I AM bemused if not amused by I. Goor’s recent contributions reminding us about some of the flaws of the former Howard/Anderson/Vaile government, which I suspect Ms Goor hopes will attenuate for the failures and stuff-ups of the current Rudd Labor government.
11 Mar 10 | OH, bad luck AGW alarmists, the EPA and American government are being sued by the coal industry for fraudulent scientific reports (Al Gore et al and the IPCC) regarding global warming and its association with CO2 emissions. Particularly coal and its energy input.
11 Mar 10 | IS it possible the NSW Minerals Council is overstating the likely impact of last week’s Supreme Court decision to declare mining access agreements between BHP Billiton and two families on the Liverpool Plains invalid?
10 Mar 10 | WHILE K Rudd and W Swan are talking up the Australian economy, and T Abbott and J Hockey are trying to quieten B Joyce, serious thinkers are prepared to write such things, about finance, that would make one have complete faith in Barnaby Joyce knowing what he is talking about.
