Recently I returned from New Zealand after visiting our daughter. We flew Air New Zealand and it was interesting to note that that the flight screen on the flight showed places to go and see in Australia. Sydney and Bathurst were mentioned, and would you believe it, Oberon was also mentioned as a must see destination.
I wonder who it is in town has that influence in an overseas aviation company.

BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS
Editor,
Through your newspaper I would like to send a message to the "spineless moron" that ran into my silver grey Suzuki on Thursday April 27 between 11am and 12.30pm out the front of Mawhoods IGA. You are a coward not to own up, and irrespective of age or gender, you should hand your licence in if this is the best driving ability you have. I am a pensioner and now have to cover the cost of fixing my vehicle.
Sue Johnson.
CROWN LANDS
Editor,
The NSW Liberals and Nationals are transferring as much Crown Land to local councils as fast as they can.
Last year they pushed through new laws so they can transfer showgrounds, community halls, playgrounds and sporting clubs out of government ownership.
But the NSW Liberals and Nationals rejected pleas to require this land to remain as community land.
So now it can be sold off for development, just like the state government is selling off everything else.
The Agricultural Societies Council of NSW for instance has said this will ‘open the doors for showgrounds to be potentially sold off and slated for other development.’
Councils have little say in what land is being transferred to them.
Nor is the Government providing any money to help them pay for maintenance of this transferred land.
It’s just more unfunded cost shifting onto local councils and their ratepayers.
