Congratulations to Scott Morrison and Craig Kelly for their resounding wins in the Federal seats of Cook and Hughes. Shire residents made it loud and clear that they are tired of Labor’s waste and mismanagement. The Liberals & Nationals in NSW recorded the largest swing in Australia. The incompetent NSW Labor Government must accept some responsibility for the strong rejection of Labor in our state.
SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS
Cronulla Public School are celebrating their 100th Birthday this year. Cronulla Public School was the first school in the eastern part of the Shire. Over the last 100 years Cronulla Public School has been the heart of the community. Its students and staff have made outstanding contributions to academic, sporting and public life.
Congratulations to North Cronulla Surf Club who have been voted 2010 Club of the Year by Surf Life Saving Sydney. A club is only as strong as its volunteer members and North Cronulla has a strong history of dedicated members.
Both epitomise the special spirit of community that exists in the Shire and are deserving of our proud congratulations and support.
ENVIRONMENT REBATES SLASHED
The Keneally Government has quietly slashed the rebates for solar and heat pump hot water systems down to $300. It has also applied a cap on the amount of total amount of rebates available to energy conscious households to $1500. With increasing water and electricity prices, the public have been keen to make their homes environmentally friendly. The Keneally Government should fully reinstate this program.
LET’S KEEP COOK IN KURNELL
Kurnell is famous for the big desal plant but lacks signage to indicate that it is the site of Captain Cook’s Landing Place. The only signage is stencilled into the footpath inside the park. Is the NSW Labor Government ashamed of Captain Cook? All over the world other places, such as Cooktown in Queensland, publicise and promote their historic connection with Cook. Kurnell is the spot where Captain Cook laid the seed of our great country. With the 250th anniversary of the arrival of Cook in Australia in 2020 it is time to start reversing the trend of downgrading Cook and our history.
