Blackban trashers

ABSOLUTELY disgusted to read about the rental property in Rokeby that was so needlessly trashed as individuals and families are forced to camp in tents at the Showgrounds. They no doubt would give just about anything to call this rental home. People take for granted necessities that some people would be more than grateful to have the opportunity of calling theirs. These perpetrators should be applied to a blackban list of 12 months to see what it’s like to have something they took for granted all of a sudden become the biggest priority for when Hobart’s unforgiving cold, dark winter comes calling. However, General Monash was a supreme pragmatist and engineer who worked in the real world, which for him was the trenches. He would not have denied that the IPCC world temperature prediction models have substantially over-estimated the rise in the Earth’s temperatures for at least the past 20 years. Monash would not have stood for an ideology that seeks to double hit Australia’s battlers and employers who support them by increasing electricity prices two to threefold, particularly not in Tasmania which has one of the most renewable energy systems. There has been no reason to increase prices except to line government coffers. Canberra politicians should get down from their pedestals and right a wrong to General Sir John Monash, between 1919 and 1929. He should be posthumously promoted one step to the rank of Field Marshall, for one day, on November 11. That would show true gratitude and respect to a great Australian. ceive the education they deserve. For about 18 hours a day the roads we have are absolutely adequate. Instead of crying out for yet more asphalt to cover the landscape why not consider alternative transport for that six-hour period.
