members of the Queensland Liberal Government. It has been reported in the Courier Mail that you intend to alter the way electricity is charged for in this state. My understanding of what I read is as follows: A flat fee of $240 a year will be levied on all electricity consumers. The Per KW rate [...]
I would like to add some issues that are not mentioned in the Bible as correctly pointed out by the writer in the Southern Free Times Nov 1, yet they are practised by churches, I believe, pretending to follow the Bible. The writer said these prelates wear dunce’s hats. Actually they have two peaks. This [...]
Carbon is the essential building block for all living things. But life cannot exist without energy. The primary energy of the solar system is nuclear energy – it powers the sun which floods the Earth with solar radiation; other nuclear reactions release heat deep within the planet. But solar energy alone cannot create or sustain [...]
I agree with Erin Johns (SFT, 1-11-12) that she has certainly missed many chapters of the Bible and needs to read it in order to answer the questions that she raises. Earthquakes, tsunamis and death occur because the universe was cursed alongside with mankind because of our rebellion and separation from God (Genesis Chapters 1,2,3; [...]
It seems Jay Nauss does not want to see private schools eliminated, except Catholic ones. “As it is a path of Danger”. This one-eyed bigotry is not unexpected as, along with Mr Gaitskell, and some others, it seems the only acceptable form of Christianity is the one followed by them. Finland, and I add Sweden [...]

However, it takes a tragedy involving a school bus to highlight the need for better safety standards on the vehicles that transport our children to school every day. In Queensland, seatbelts in some school buses are [...]
There’s a promo for a show about democracy being aired on Foxtell. The catch phrase is, “Democracy is not a spectator sport!” Whoever dreamed that up, I take my hat off to him/her. It says it all. As a person criminalised by the system for speaking out against it, I’ve been forced to realise most [...]
I just wanted to write to vent my disapointment with the council, the poor service I have been dealt and also the lack of courtesy from a particular councillor that had promised to look into a problem I am having and, despite my writing to him over the last seven or nine weeks, I have [...]
I feel a need to speak up for the sport of bullriding. I am an avid animal lover, vegetarian and a fan of bullriding.mainly the PBR (professional bullriding). I watch the American PBR live on my computer, but it’s over for the year now. I have watched the video of the bull that was injured [...]
The effort by Stanthorpe’s, Save Our Shire Committee is a passive “revolution”. Or as our Local Government Minister would say: “It’s democracy in action.” How successful the “revolution” to restore Stanthorpe’s and several other Shires will be is dependant on a number of factors. A large majority of the people have to be in favour [...]
