Letters to the Editor December 17

Still too much rubbish in town

ONCE again I am contacting you about the state of the rubbish in Swan Hill.

On the corner of the Coles car park there is an abandoned stereo.

It has been there for over a week.

I will give it another week before I will dispose of the unit – I am hoping a good citizen or the council might pick it up.

Surely everyone has seen it?

Ban shopping dockets as well, if people need a refund use your electronic receipts, most dockets end up on the footpath.

Face masks when finished with need to go in the bin – not on the footpath.

Shop owners should also clean up in front of their businesses, it’s just two minutes of everyone’s time to set a good example for our citizens and visitors.

Russ Wardle, SWAN HILL.

Concern for the futureI

WOULD like to congratulate society on a job well done.

Well done to Australia, the bureaucrats, the do-gooders, the political correctness groups, urban media and lastly society’s dobbers.

These groups are solely responsible for the mess we as a society and country are in.

Australia is scarred and damaged forever and history will reflect badly on us, and so it should.

Every person who I have spoken to in the last two years, of middle age and over, they have all said the same thing, and I fully agree.

They have said, “I am so glad I am on the other side of my life, and I am not beginning my life in what Australia is now”.

The good old days we had are now gone for good, and old fashioned values are well and truly gone as well.

In the yesteryears people would mind their business, not be involved, and turn a blind eye.

But now we have so many dobbers to get people into trouble, who watch what other people are doing, I wish they would get a life instead of being leeches.

We are being treated like a mob of sheep.

Hell would break loose if people’s precious mobile phones were taken away from them.

If the very obvious in the next state election does not happen in a big way, then we have deserved the last two years.

NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED.
