When HRH visited many years ago, they fixed the the top end of Wentworth St Port Kembla so she wouldn't have to see the mess it normally was. What will the city find money for to fix up eyesores that couldn't be fixed before young Kev's visit?

What will be the impact of his hastily compiled and fundamentally flawed CPRS scheme on employment in the Illawarra coal and steel industries?

Mr Rudd, build the 12 new Submarines and 17 Warships for the Navy HERE!

Welcome to the Illawarra, Mr. Rudd. We'll have meatless meals, and hair dryers on tap. There will be some hard questions, though.

Wollongong is placed at a severe disadvantage at this time by not having an elected Council to represent our communities interests. Amend the Australian Constitution to recognise, resource and protect local democracy (with Precinct Committees) so it cannot be removed by State governments.

Why make the unemployed keep spending money looking for the non existant jobs,just to keep centrelink happy. I am all for everyone looking for work, but let's be realistic here, there are just no jobs to be had.That money would provide another meal. Not all jobseekers havea access to a computer

The best thing you can do for our region Mr.Rudd is to ensure Bluescope Steel is an ongoing business providing 10,000 or so jobs for our young families.

I want to know why the Illawarra has the highest unemployment. What are we doing wrong? We have industry, Mines and beautiful beaches to attract tourists and we are only 90 minutes from Sydney. What are we doing wrong that other cities seem to get right?
