Nuclear is very very expensive to set up. Costs have to be borrowed from outside interests and must be paid back. Who pays? The poor electricity customers. Maybe their policies are to create the most expensive electricity possible given the guarantees to be offered to the investors to entice them to invest. Exploitation? The thermodynamics of nuclear are the same as coal, CSG, etc.

About one-third of the heat generated by the fuel becomes electricity. About two-thirds is global warming. In the USSR under Stalin and Khrushchev the Soviets noticed the almost limitless clean waste heat generated by nuclear power stations. They located their power stations very close to cities to use this heat in a practical way, to warm the cities.

The late Rex Wilson was my headmaster in the 1950s at Quirindi High School. He drew our attention to the facts - that whole cities just disappeared from published map to published map, believing and now confirmed to be nuclear accidents.

Our nuclear power is puny compared with the thermo-nuclear star, our Sun. Constant, reliable, and safe, with millions of years to run. We do not need to be enslaved by greedy investors. We can do it! Create more jobs, using our own investments, for the advancement of the people of our beloved Australia.

What happened to mail delivery times - departure and arrival? On Tuesday, 26 May, a parcel was dispatched to me from Cooma. It arrived Thursday morning - hardly taking two days.

On Monday, 18 May, I posted several letters of different sizes. My Daughter's large letter did not arrive in Toowoomba until 29 May - eleven days. Various other large letters clearly addressed to not so distant places took ten-eleven days also.

Even if we need to post a small letter across town, it is obligatory to pay $1.10 - an increase of 30 cents - and for no improvement in Service - still 2 days. My small Jack Russell, if she had longer legs, could easily deliver small letters in a day.

I understand there are multi-million dollar postal Sorting Centres either lying idle across Australia or under-utilised. WHY IS IT SO? Those looking after the homeless might like to know.

We are owed an explanation about these variances in delivery times before I, and many others, decide to stop using Australia Post all together.

It beggars belief that Prime minister Morrison is getting off "Scott free" for his part in the robodebt scandal. Every mean and nasty thing this government has done bears his signature. Immigration and border protection, Social Services, Treasury. Now he washes his hands of all his meanness and trickery in the en suite of the Prime Minister's office.

Remember good people how CoVID-19 got off the boat on his watch and caught a train to Tamworth? Remember our loved ones who, crushed under the weight of robodebts they didn't owe and didn't know how to fight, succumbed to this bastardry. Remember the pain and suffering of those burying children they weren't supposed to outlive.

Remember the next generation baffled by this cruelty and wondering why they've been denied a parent, a brother, an uncle, an aunt. An most importantly, remember how this Prime Minister failed to say sorry. One simple word with all the power in the world.

With the class action brought against "the Government", by cattlemen in Northern Australia, being decided in their favour, it is a great relief for them, or should I say, for those that have survived. The facts are that many cattlemen, and their families did not survive, and the knock on effects of the decision were felt all the way through the cattle industry at that time.

This class action has been very costly to many cattlemen, and the end result will also be costly to "The Government", that is you and me, today! This could have all been avoided, if TWO people, who were voted into Federal Seats, by conservative voters in the Gillard Government, had stuck with their respective electorates wishes. That is the conservative side of Government, but no, they went with Gillard and Ludwig. The two people, Windsor and Oakshott, could have brought the Gillard Government to its knees, if they had followed their respective electorates wishes, and NOT supported them in that decision. But no they turned their backs on their respective electorates, and supported that decision!

If those two people had any guts they would muster up all their so called supporters, including Gillard, Rudd, Ludwig, and members of the ABC, and go to Northern Australia with their cheque books, and pay all the cattlemen, who lost millions of dollars because of the decision!
