Walk and collect on 18 & 19 Oct 2020
Hello neighbours,
During the next weekend (18 & 19 Oct 2020) we are having a "Walk and Collect Weekend" wherein we head out for a walk and collect a bag of rubbish from your local community. You're going to feel great and collectively we're going to make a real difference!
I participated in this last year and won a prize too. This has stimulated me to do this more often. Lets make our neighbourhood clean and beautiful.
PS - Some personal advice:
Please wear appropriate gloves.
Carry a hand sanitizer or wet wipes. You may sometimes need it.
Avoid touching any suspicious rubbish.
Take extra care while handling glass and metal rubbish.
Lookout for traffic.
Don't go alone. Take your friend or family member with you.
Don't forget to take some photos and win prizes.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Cycad needs new Home!
We are about to get the outside of our house painted - and have decided this Cycad needs to go. I've started the recommended process for transplanting - trimming a portion of the fronds - but note that the best results require the move to new location to be as fast as possible. Before I start the root bulb work, is anyone local interested? I see they are listed at hundreds of $$ - but happy to discuss. It needs to go.
