Perhaps our regular servicemen should provide the personnel. It is a very sad indictment on the Department of Defence and Government that this day can not be recognised in the traditional way.

If resources (Funding) is the issue I for one would gladly prefer the $250 million allocated to Infrastructure Advertising prior to the election to be diverted to this remembrance day 100 years after the end of World War 1.

The furibund folly of the world's most contentious topic is climate change.

Firstly we have to assimilate that this event is, in a lot of ways, compared to the flat earth synopsis of bygone years - a complete and utter deception to humanity, as is climate change.

The malady is ludicrous, as in those who believe in this "inconvenient truth" as quoted by Gore and his associates.

It is regrettable that the academics and the arbitrates of the planet tend to have the same principles as the devotees.

The Paris Agreement on climate change is a counterfiet organisation - a fantasy, desultory.

There is a saying which applies to this group - "you can fool some of the people sometime, but not all of the people all of the time".

Climate change is a complete and utter distortion of the principles of weather patterns and a political manoeuvre to sway the electorate that it is a fact. (Wrong, wrong)

I write in endorsement of the 2019 Morrison-McCormack government budget handed down by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.

This budget has small "l" Liberal values at it's core. It rewards effort for hard work with tax breaks for low and middle income earners, it provides more funding for rural infrastructure projects, more apprenticeships and our small businesses have more asset write off options in order to lower their costs, employ people and grow our economy. These measures are part of growing a compassionate nation one that supports those who put in the hours and effort.

The drought assistance packages are also welcomed as there has been some very tough times on the land, we are in a prolonged state of drought in Rural Australia but it good to see that there is a package that support those affected by drought.

I commend this budget and congratulate the government on supporting hard working Australians to get ahead and live their dreams. I also commend the government for bringing the budget back into surplus and managing our nation's finances with care. As I have said in previous federal budget letters it helps bring home the dinner.

TRC should never allowed all the subdivisions to be approved unchecked and the population is now too big for the hotter drier weather and lower water supplies. I know they want growth but we can't survive without water.
