THUMBS UP AND DOWN

  • Thumbs Down

Thumbs down 20/4/21

Thumbs down to the Narrabri council. My parents visited the Narrabri Lawn Cemetery on Saturday the 10th to find that their son’s headstone had been moved to the foot of his burial plot. They went back on Monday morning to speak to someone only to be told that they had to move it for a funeral that was held the day before. They have been unsuccessfully trying to speak to the person in charge.

Thumbs up 20/4/21

Thumbs up to having a traditional Anzac Day commemoration once again. There is even more reason to mark the event on Sunday after the COVID cancellations of last year and I hope the community supports the day and all that it means by attending the ceremonies.

Thumbs down 15/4/21

Thumbs down to the complaining about the COVID immunisation. We have nothing to complain about in this country, we have got through the pandemic very well compared to most places around the world. Everyone will get their needle when supplies are available.

Member for Barwon Roy Butler said he would be urging the Minister for Education to seek local feedback and knowledge about the best location for a new school site after a number of attendees described a […]

COVID vaccinations arrive in Narrabri and doctors urge eligible locals to ‘get the jab’

The highly anticipated COVID-19 vaccine has reached the public of Narrabri, and all eligible locals are being encouraged to “get the jab” as soon as possible. During the last week, local vaccination providers have started administering the free injection according to phase one of the rollout. This first phase includes part A and part B, with all included in these categories now eligible for the vaccine. Phase 1A, commencing earlier this year, includes quarantine and border workers, frontline health care worker sub-groups, and – most relevant for the Narrabri Shire – aged care and disability care staff and residents. Moving […]

Topical 20/4/21

Democracy at work. Russian president Vladimir Putin, 68, has signed a new law which allows him to run for the presidency two more times, meaning he could stay in office until 2036.The law sets a two-term limit on the presidency, but it also resets Mr Putin’s record so that his four terms to date do not count. Therefore, he can run twice more once his current term ends in 2024. Putin is aiming to beat dictator Joseph Stalin’s record of more than two decades in power.
