British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is always remembered for stepping down from a plane waving an agreement signed by Adolph Hitler, and telling the World “No War In Our Time”.

Malcom Turnbull stepped down from a RAAF plane to declare his recent overseas trip “A Huge Success”.

Donald Trump well and truly made a fool out of Malcom Turnbull.

He is the only Prime Minister to step in a Cowpat before the farmer ever let his cows in the meadow.

To you, the people of the Illawarra, I thank you, on behalf of Operation Christmas Child, for your support and generosity in the past and present, of making up shoeboxes of gifts.

You have shown love and a desire to reach out to underprivileged children trapped in a world of poverty in some of the most devastating regions of the world.

From our warehouse, we sent 8741 shoeboxes, and our National total is 327,461.  

Boxes from Australia and New Zealand are sent to Fiji, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Vanuatu, Samoa and Papua New Guinea.  

Operation Christmas Child has been privileged to distribute shoebox gifts to 146 million children in over 150 nations.

Millions of children around the world struggle daily with war, poverty, famine and disease.  

Every shoe box gift shows them that they have not been forgotten, and we are then able to identify and resource other needs in the community, such as clean water, sanitation, education, health and agriculture.

On Saturday,  from 8am-2pm, at Albion Park Uniting Church grounds, corner of  Terry and Russell Sts. Albion Park, we are holding a market, to raise money to be able to bless more children and families again this year.

Lyn Brown, Co-ordinator Operation Christmas Child

We are downsizing and trying to dispose of furniture.

Our furniture is good enough for us but not charities it seems.

We thought that someone would benefit from our items but apparently charities are more interested in selling and making money than giving items to those in need.

Yes, trash dumped at Mt Keira is inexcusable, but two free household clean-ups a year?

Not so if you're a Shellharbour Council ratepayer, they get none.

Council's response: "take it to the tip!".

Difficult if you don't drive and live alone.

It saddens me that the behaviour of some Dragon supporters marred a good game.   

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

Only jesus meets that criteria and he died and rose to forgive and cleanse us.  

At a football game it should remain about footy.

The refs judge on field behaviour.

Supporters you were honouring Graham Langlands who definitely was not without sin (ED’S NOTE: Allegedly).

You were honouring his footy prowess so why target a young boy about something not about relating to footy.

I am sure we want to talk about the good start of the Dragons and not again bad behaviour of its supporters
