THE BROWN MILE
On Monday afternoon I took a walk on the $10 million tramway walk built by council on the Blue Mile.

What I found is council has constructed the most palatial and expensive dog toilet in the southern hemisphere.
I have read letters where the blue mile is called the brown mile. I now understand why. You could not enjoy the view for fear of stepping in a dog turd.
If council does not believe me ask the out door council workers who had to clean the mess up yesterday afternoon.
When I asked the workers about the dog rangers they said they only see them when its raining so they don’t have to do anything or confront anyone.
The concrete walkway is now smeared with dog turds which is great for the health of young children who wish to play there. Ten million dollars of ratepayers money well spent on the dog toilet.

NOT A DEFENSE OF CHURCH
In reply to Mr Adrian Devlin’s letter of June 12, 2018, my reprimand admonishing both Doug Steley and Reg Wilding was because they distracted the discussion on child sex abuse from rape, sexual abuse and sexual harassment to a subject which will provide martyrs over the seal of the confession but will not help those injured by felonies committed under the Australian legal code and proscribed in three of the four Gospels.
My letter was not a defense of the church. Some of its behaviour in this matter is indefensible.
Further, the latter part of Devlin’s letter suggests he has not understood parts of the Gospels that indicate the Jesus Christ was a socialist if not a real communist.
I urge Adrian to commence at John 12.6, then Luke 10.4, and finish with a meditation on either Matthew 5.3-12 or Luke 6.20-23.

A COMPLETE FRAUD
In response to the letter by Dave Cox, "The Plain Truth" (Illawarra Mercury, Wednesday, June 13, 2018) I like the programs presented by Sir David Attenborough and have enjoyed watching him over many years.
Sir David may believe man-made global warming is happening which is causing climate change and is thus the greatest threat to mankind.
However, this neither makes Sir David or you "Mr Cox" correct in your statements about this topic.
Indeed, climate change con artist Al Gore preachers to the average person about making sacrifices while reducing the use of your carbon footprint.
Yet, Gore's carbon footprint is huge given he lives in the lap of luxury while using limousines and private jets.
In addition, climate conferences are just for global warming bureaucrats to dine out in luxury at five-star hotels.
Like the theories of evolution and long ages, man-made global warming is a complete fraud to manipulate and deceive mankind.

PLANE TRUTH OF JETGO DEBT FINALLY REVEALED
There are simple question that needs to be answered. Why is there a string of airlines that have attempted to fly out of "Wollongong Airport" and in a short period, failed to succeed? There is one (1) common factor management … and the common management factor of that is local council management. Yet again the politicising council fail in their mandate of service to the people and will have every excuse to justify this multiple failure of airlines flying out of Wollongong.

What a beautiful boy he has turned into. I looked after Bodhi many years ago at preschool. Many great memories, he taught me a lot.
