DEAR News Of The Area, ADVANCE is a Liberal funded lobby group with a major aim of wrecking the Greens (‘We won’t be silenced on offshore wind’, Sandra Bourke, spokesperson Advance, NOTA,12 May 2025). When you think about the reasoning behind this objective one can only come to the conclusion that Advance has a major […]
DEAR News Of The Area, THE Australian people as well as the people of Port Stephens have voted in support of the Labor Government and its policies. As for the offshore wind farm, objectors you had your chance to raise legitimate concerns and still have the chance to raise them with a dedicated MP in […]
DEAT News Of The Area, It was interesting to read the reactions to Justin Page’s call to “move forward with proper, fact based assessments of the environmental and economic impacts of the Hunter offshore wind industry”. That does not seem to be an unreasonable suggestion and is aligned with the requirements of the Feasibility Licence […]
DEAR News Of The Area, TO follow up on a previous letter from Justin Page, as the President of No Off Shore Turbines Port Stephens, I can safely say that we do not make any such claims about dead whales (misinformation). The Advance leaflets were placed on seats at a NREN (National Rational Energy Network) […]

I suggest he make time to view Sir David Attenborough’s film “Ocean”, where he will find that the ocean currently absorbs 30 percent of earth’s carbon emissions and can well do without any […]
DEAR News Of The Area, Labor’s political opportunism, environmental hypocrisy, and bullying continues. Justin Page’s letter (8 May 2025) is yet another example of Labor-funded political hypocrisy.

DEAR News Of The Area, “It is time to move forward with a proper, fact-based assessment of the environmental and economic impacts of the Hunter offshore wind industry, ensuring the region can seize the opportunities of a clean energy future and it is time to put an end to the misinformation surrounding offshore wind.” Hear, […]
DEAR News Of The Area, I WANT to call out the blatant hypocrisy and political opportunism driving the aggressive campaign against offshore wind projects in Port Stephens. Opponents of offshore wind made alarmist claims about its potential impact on the marine environment, while at the same time aligning themselves with the Liberal Party, a party […]
DEAR News Of The Area, PETER Dutton blames “Hate Media” such as the ABC and The Guardian for contributing to his defeat in the election. The fact is that most media in Australia favours the conservative side of politics. The Murdoch-owned The Australian, Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun consistently favour the Coalition. Dutton generously shared […]
DEAR News Of The Area, WE live in turbulent times. Internationally we’ve got US President Trump “The Wrecker” trashing treaties and world economic and financial systems, the Ukraine fighting for its life against Putin “The Russian Murderer”, China threatening Taiwan and dissent everywhere. Locally we’ve got the federal election coming up with Albo versus Dutton, […]
