I guess it's just as more city people come here that's what we become. 

Thanks to the ABC for this great service up to this point.

Having viewed a funeral director’s comment, I  wholeheartedly agree the ABC has “stabbed listeners in the back”.

C’mon, show us how much you care for this community, as at present, many of us  believe you don’t give a rat’s about what we the listeners want to hear from the ABC.

Now we take this matter to our local member Andrew Constance – he has a great record of sorting government departments out and we also include our federal member.

These are election weeks and we are not giving in, as you will see by the Bega District News – our local paper who does care what we the residents think and feel.

Bring back what we the listeners want.

We are totally appalled by the ABC ceasing the 6.58am broadcast of local funeral notices.

Unable to regularly purchase the local paper, we now have no way of keeping up to date with this news. This could mean missing paying our last respects to a friend or retired workmate.

The “bush telegraph” doesn't always get the news to us in time to attend a funeral.

Please rethink your decision and reintroduce this priceless information so our community can continue to grieve together.

Most of us love our milk, either on our cereal or in our cappuccino.

For the past few years our dairy farmers have been hit hard with deregulation and the milk price war. 

Processors such as Murray Goulburn and Fonterra have now decided to pay dairy farmers 37 cents a litre, which is less than what it takes the farmer to produce a litre of milk.  This has a devastating effect on dairy farming families causing many of them to walk off their farms. 

Dairy farmers generally work 365 days a year working extraordinary hours without the benefits most of us receive in employment such as long service leave, annual leave or medical leave.

This community has already seen the timber and fishing industry affected so let’s do all we can to support and sustain our local dairy industry. The next time you buy milk, spare a thought for our dairy farmers and buy branded milk.

It is so nice that children are wanting to save brumbies from cruelty.

Even though they are feral, and are doing much damage to alpine areas, no animal should be cruelly treated. Even euthanasing can be stress free.

Sadly, the proposed changes to NSW Biodiversity and Conservation Laws will involve cruelty on a very large scale.

If these changes are accepted, millions of native animals of all kinds will have their homes smashed and may themselves be bulldozed into the ground or be horrifically injured or burnt in log piles.

Instead of clearing more precious native forest, we could work to restore land that has been degraded by years of bad farming practices.

Most farmers are now aware of the value of native wildlife and are working to save what we have left.

We have until June 28 to give our submissions/opinions to the NSW government.
