Kotoni makes Aussie squad

-

SPEAKING of footy, well done to Kotoni Staggs (pictured) who’s made the Australian Under-23s Rugby League squad which will compete at the upcoming Gold Coast Commonweal­th

Games.

I’ve been predicting big things from this tremendous young Wello talent, although the fact he picked the Brisbane Broncos to sign with may mean the heat has been getting to him.

Good luck mate, and if he gets onto the paddock that’ll give his family, friends and locals a reason to tune in to watch the action. strewn down Macquarie Street as well as across plenty of other areas, including dumped in the Macquarie River, and it needn’t be happening.

I’m not fan of creating extra rules and regulation­s just for the sake of it – in fact if I had my way I’d be dumping so many of the crazy laws we do have – but making people pay for their trolleys and then have to redeem the coin when it’s returned is just plain, simple common sense.

Even NSW’S extremely flawed return and earn “scheme” for drink cans and bottles shows that a monetary return is at the bottom of so much personal motivation. Let’s use this framework where it will help fix problems.

 ??  ?? It might be time we admit defeat on keeping trolleys off our streets, and introduce an Aldi-style “return and earn” system.
