SAVE US MILLIONS

COALITION CONTRAST

IT was a curious contrast comparing Jacinda Ardern’ s willingness to include the Green sin a coalition after reelection with the position of Labor in Tasmania, who repeatedly by bell, book and candles wear they will never do that. One can not help but wonder what the difference is compared to our neighbours across the ditch. Peter D .Jones Leah Valley
