Did Someone Mention a Marina? |

The need for a marina in Jervis Bay has taken on a new sense of urgency as leading insurers start to refuse providing cover for yachts and boats moored at Callala. About a dozen craft were washed ashore last week in a 100 KPH storm , and while existing insurance cover will be honoured, some leading companies are starting to say " no more ".
A marina in Huskisson makes sense and of course that location has been mentioned for as long as I can remember. We talk about the need to push our tourism dollars to a billion dollars annually would become a reality if all parties worked toward establishing a marine in Huskisson and in the Southern Shoalhaven. The marina in Nelson Bay, north of Newcastle is responsible for that areas growth in employment, tourism and employment.

I then hurry to the car for a quiet moment and sip my cup of life. It’s only then I’m ready for the day. I’m starting to sound like an addict. Every morning, millions of people... Read more
Justice For Thomas Kelly… You’re Joking
You know there’s something wrong with our justice system and my heart goes out to the family of teenager Thomas Kelly who was killed by a brutal king hit in Kings Cross last year. Kieran Loveridge, 19, was charged with the king hit of Mr Kelly during a night out in Kings Cross in July last year.

Thomas’s mother said outside the court: "It’s time we all come... Read more
