G'day readers,
Controversy beget by double standards seems to be a popular theme this week amongst our readers and the broader public.
Many have questioned those that gathered to march recently at Indigenous rights protests.
Among them our prime minister Scott Morrison.
"Those who couldn't go to funerals, or weddings or Anzac Day due to COVID-19 restrictions are rightly angry at those who defied health orders and marched en masse," was the popular refrain, spoken by the PM and echoed by many others.
And then, days later, we learnt we would all be allowed to go back to the footy.
Where was all the anger, couldn't we "find another way" to follow our footy team? What about the health advice saying mass gatherings are still dangerous?
Now our PM is not Donald Trump. He hasn't whipped us all into an us versus them frenzy, but he does have a way with a mixed message. It seems this was another in a long line of them since this coronavirus pandemic changed all of our lives.
One controversy where the majority of readers agree our politicians have tin ears is coal mining under Woronora Dam.
Murray also tells us when we will be able to vote in local government elections.
Many people are looking at what they perceive were better days in the past. A call has gone out for many things to go 'back to the future'.
In good news for those who have children and a job, Jim also tells us a child care centre being built on the former Darrell Lea site in Kogarah should be open for business in early 2021.
We hope you are all keeping safe and enjoying some of the normality that is slowly returning to our lives. There is nothing like having things taken away from us to help us appreciate the 'little things' in life.
