You helped make the day run smoothly.
You did yourselves and the school proud.
A big, big thank you to the teacher that organised the girls at short notice to help out, very much appreciated.
I would also like to say a very, very big thank you to the LES Highland sub-committee and my co-convener Margaret Brinley for the fabulous effort you all put in on Sunday to make the day run smoothly after the false start last month.
Without your help,l this day couldn’t happen.
A special thank you to Cheryl Wymark, Marion Thompson and Sandra Williams who all volunteered their time to help out on the day.
I was very much appreciated.
Karen Garwood, Stanbridge.
Government view from the left
At the moment company profits are very high in some sectors and wages growth is very low.
This will change under a Bill Shorten Government.
Yes taxes for the higher earners will increase but it will not affect low and middle income paid workers.
I hope there will be a charge of some kind on pollution because we have to pull our weight in this world.
Inflation will rise as required by the reserve bank and the cost of housing will come down.
This will only affect investors who should not be in the market in the first place.
The government revenue will rise and their ability to pay for the essential services expected from a government will occur.
All these problems and situations are doable now and all we get out of the liberal party is them talking about themselves.
People are not interested in what the Liberal Party is doing.
The public want the problems facing Australians fixed.
They do not want to hear about the most important thing at the moment to the Liberal Party being themselves.
Thanks Bill for a common sense approach to taxation and wages and government services.
It has been a long time since we have had any.
This is me talking not the Labor Party but it is my understanding of Labor policy.
I still want my 21st century NBN. When Malcolm. When?
Ken Morehouse, Leeton.
Importance of preschool
It should not matter if you are from Leeton or Lithgow; every child deserves to have access to quality education in the year before school.
The earlier we can provide educational support and invest in the lives of our next generation the better – and I am proud the NSW government are backing country kids.
Every child in the Murray electorate should have access to affordable quality education in the year before school and our Start Strong reforms do exactly that.
I am proud this year’s budget invests an additional $217 million to extend Start Strong until 2021 - and to ensure this increase in funding has a real impact upon service affordability; community preschool services must pass on at least 75 per cent of the increased funding to parents as a fee reduction.
For example, before our historic investment in early childhood education, at one preschool in regional NSW - it cost families $15 a day for a child to attend and now it is $5 a day. For disadvantaged children it is now $4 dollars a day.
