25.01.2022 They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

25.01.2022 100 years of volunteering celebrated today. Richard, John and Rose 30 years each, Trent 10 years. Well done!!!

24.01.2022 Today is an ANZAC Day like no other. At dawn we paused to remember those who have served in the Australian Defence Force, both at home and abroad. Pictured is... this morning’s compliance check briefing in north west Tasmania - ADF members standing alongside their colleagues from Tasmania Police, Tasmania Fire Service, and Tasmania SES. These members continue to ensure the safety of North West Tasmanians, both by making sure people are complying with quarantine requirements and checking on people’s welfare in these unprecedented times. The NW Multi-Agency Task Force has conducted more than 5000 of these checks in the last month working seven days a week. Today our ADF members would usually be reflecting on the past in the presence of their mates, said Task Force Coordinator Senior Sergeant Adam Spencer. Instead, they are in the field looking after the safety of Tasmanians. If you are in quarantine and get a call from them today please remember they are there to check on you and your welfare. Some of these diggers have only recently returned from other duties. Make sure you thank them for their service. Lest we forget.

19.01.2022 Together, we've been through a lot lately. This Australia Day, we want to recognise all the men and women who have worked so hard to protect our communities. An...d we want to thank everyone for working together and supporting one another when times are tough. Despite so much tragedy recently, let's take a moment to celebrate the things that make Australia great. Happy Australia Day.

17.01.2022 Congratulations John, we all appreciate everything you do for the unit and the community.

17.01.2022 A police road safety operation on the Midland Highway has caught 25 motorists speeding through roadworks in two hours - with the majority of speeding vehicles b...eing detected within metres of road workers. No one deserves to be put at risk at work because drivers don’t want to slow down at road works. It's not worth risking someone’s life to save a couple of minutes, said Constable Chris Jackson of Campbell Town Police. These road safety operations will continue on both the Bass and Midland Highways. Remember slow down for road workers - it's for everyone's safety
