16.01.2022 Hello Ladies, I accidentally posted a post on this page an advertisement for an electrical company. I apologise for offending anyone. This was done in error. Thank you to whom ever brought this to Wai Lins attention..... I manage 3 Facebook pages as well and my own personal page and accidentally posted on this one by mistake. I appreciate your understanding and I hope you know that we all make mistakes from time to time, I do especially when I do things in a hurry...in the greater scheme of things this is far from a catastrophic error!!!!

15.01.2022 On the afternoon of 29 April 1770, people of the Gweagal clan of Kamay noticed unfamiliar people paddling towards the shore near their camp, in a boat unlike any they had seen before. This was the landing party of the Endeavour, led by Lieutenant James Cook. In 2020 we mark 250 years since the first encounters between Aboriginal Australians and the crew of the HMB Endeavour. The bronze sculptures have been installed at Kurnell, Sutherland Shire, near where Cook landed to mark the first encounter. (Photos: https://www.theleader.com.au/)

13.01.2022 ***STATEMENT FROM CWA OF NSW IN RELATION TO THE APPROVAL OF THE NARRABRI GAS PROJECT*** The CWA of NSW is today totally disillusioned with state planning proces...ses after the Independent Planning Commission’s approval of the Santos Narrabri Gas Project. CWA of NSW CEO Danica Leys stated that it beggars belief how a project requiring 134 strict conditions can even proceed to approval. If a project needs this many conditions, it’s an indication that they need to go back to the drawing board. It doesn’t stack up. We’re concerned that compliance on conditions is severely lacking in any case. We’ve seen it in the past with mining and other extractive projects. These companies get the green light and off they go, there’s no looping back to ensure all of these conditions are upheld into the future. Rural communities once again are left with the impacts. We’re pleased to see some requirements in the IPC report relating to waste management and salt reuse or disposal. This is a significant concern and we’ll be keeping a close eye on where Santos proceed in this regard. However other impacts such as groundwater and impacts on farming activities, remain as significant concerns. We believe that the insurance issue is also yet to be adequately addressed. The Chief Scientist has directed the NSW Government to fix it, the Upper House inquiry said fix it before any gas projects can proceed. It hasn’t been addressed and yet here we are. We know the economic impacts have been inflated, we know there are still no proper assurances on the environmental impacts. With such significant community objection and now an approval with a huge amount of conditions our members are increasingly disillusioned with the whole process.

13.01.2022 Some of the 20 Beanies our member, Sandy, made for the homeless. They have gone to the volunteer group One Meal that provides meals for the homeless in the Sutherland Shire!

10.01.2022 Were disappointed that this motion was "rushed through" NSW parliament. "There are still too many unknowns, and risks to natural resources and water resources... to be confident with this industry," CWA NSW chief executive Danica Leys said. https://www.smh.com.au//berejiklian-government-rushes-to-d
