uncaring government

Once again our state government has demonstrated its contempt for its senior citizens.

How can we expect silly old buggers to change the habits of a lifetime. Lockdowns, phone calls and Zoom meetings are far too difficult for our less able citizens.

No wonder Wesfarmers managers are moving East. We can't expect those antique brains to change. Giving orders is easy. Working with new technology is for young people. We cannot expect old directors to adapt.

Normal practice is for them to use their power and influence to force everyone else to change. But when that fails... they can use their money to run away.

a Day for everyone

Part 1:

I can understand Blak objections to January 26th as Australia Day. We need a day on which both Blak and Whyt Australians can be pleased and proud.

21st May 1962 is the day on which Blak and Whyt Australians were joined in the right to vote. We can all -- Blak and Whyt -- be proud of that day. It was a major step towards our current democracy.

Celebrate Australia Day on 21st May each year.

Celebrate together.

Part 2:

That date is far too close to all the other holidays in the first half of the year.

Who cares, as long as it is still a holiday.

Come on! New Zealand were way ahead of us with Blak votes.

Typical... Once more, gaining votes for women is relegated to the bin of unimportant trivia.

It's all too hard... Let's leave it for another year.

Democracy in action

In Tuesday's Editorial De Ceglie asks, when did the popular decision morph into becoming the right decision?

Simple, really. It happened when Australia chose to become a democracy.

Democracy results in decisions that are wanted by -- popular with -- the majority. Whether or not power-brokers believe that they are "right". We voted. Now we get the decisions that we deserve.

one small change

Margaret Ryan (Letters 7 Jan) regularly does one small thing to help to preserve our natural environment. It's one very small action. It suits her lifestyle. It costs her no more than a few moments each time. The possibility of one action saving the life of an animal is tiny. But yes, it is possible.

What can we each do to help? What small action can I choose to take?

Imagine millions of people, each making one small but regular change.

Like the pebbles which start an avalanche, we may save the planet.
