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.

a sacking offence

This really needs to be fact-checked but: I seem to remember a rather old photo in The West showing Ms Spasojevic posing with a group of politicians. She is the attractive young blonde woman brightening a photo of boring male politicians.

After many years of hard work, Ms Spasojevic is now an older woman.

Surely getting older is reason enough to sack any woman.

Not intended for Publication

Hello Letters Editor & Crew,

Thank you! for your efforts selecting the brilliant letters (mine) and rejecting the rubbish (also mine :-)

In particular: Thank you for finding the Mad excerpt to go with my letter about the movie/musical Grease (20 Nov).

It made sense of my letter. It also reassured me that my memory was close enough to accurate!

... Nick

slut-faming

The Arts Minister says that the musical Grease reflected the different attitudes of the 1950s and 1970s.

When the movie was released -- in the 1970s -- it was satirised in Mad Magazine. The magazine was able to identify the key message: To catch a boy a girl needs to dress like a slut.

The message is wrapped in cheerful song-and-dance numbers to hide the insult to women.

Come the 2020s and attitudes have not changed. There are still some people who can see past the colourful bubble-gum wrapping to the show's demeaning attitude to women's role in society.

e-West not the best

There has been some discussion of the "e" version of The West. I decided that I should give it a go. Move with the times.

I gave e-news several weeks' evaluation. Putting both "e" and paper versions through their paces as a daily paper... Unfortunately the e-paper has failed.

It just frightens the budgie.

Friends and maaaates

We can all understand that Government Ministers are not Ministers 24/7.

Can the Premier now tell us at what times Ministers are "off duty". That will allow us to deliver our gifts out-of-hours. When the gifts will not need to be declared as bribes.

Ours are bigger

Too many people are confused by the spelling of AUKUS.

Listen to the pronunciation. It's orchis, from the Greek.

What we're saying  is, Look out World: we have big orchis Down Under.
