6/08/2008 | THE closure of the pet food factory is a disaster for Inverell. However, an understanding of how large companies work makes it a very likely possibility. The US is littered with examples of this kind of big-business strategy.
6/08/2008 | IT IS time something was done regarding supermarket trolleys. I thought the trolleys were provided for use within the shopping complex, not to be taken home then left on the street for the louts to destroy or throw over the bridge.
6/08/2008 | I presume from our PM’s “celebrity” trips overseas he has acquired a virus that has left him deaf, dumb, blind, and somewhat paralytic. In the process of his travels he must have spent all the funds which has left him immune to the pleas of pensioners who have found it impossible to live under their current pittance. Also, his biggest con trick was to procure the $500 awarded to the electorate by Peter Costello, and make it appear as though this is a Labor coup. Do I make myself clear Mr Rudd?
6/08/2008 | THE Inverell community is in an ideal position to fight back against the multi-national corporations that come in, confiscate a productive business then destroy the brand after transferring all production to another plant.
5/08/2008 | IF readers would like an interesting view of the future I’ve got a new blog up on the internet. Just Google Invader to Australia: visions and
prophecies.
5/08/2008 | THE annual general meeting of Bingara and District Vision 20/20 will be held at the Roxy Theatre at 6.30pm on Friday, August 15. The AGM will be followed by dinner at 7.30pm, presentations about our current projects, and general discussion.
5/08/2008 | YOU forgot the banks (Jim Shanks, letter July 28, 2008, NDL) , who are of the Fabian menace.
1. Sir Joseph Stamp, one time director of the Bank of England said: “The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever intended.
5/08/2008 | I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank The Northern Daily Leader for your newspaper’s wonderful support of our members in their efforts to fundraise for Australian Foundation for the Peoples of Asia and the Pacific (AFAP).
30/07/2008 | STEVE, your song Bring It On brought tears to my eyes. I am one of the farmers last week who have been at the Duddy’s property.
30/07/2008 | THE railway the safe way
That was a slogan our railways, used in past years. Our forefathers had vision and planned for a rail system covering the State.
30/07/2008 | WITH the new minimum wage rising for the lowest paid workers $22 per week, how is it with a booming economy and surplus terms of trade is it that they can only be afforded such a measly pay rise?
30/07/2008 | THE decision by BHP Billiton to conduct mining exploration in the Liverpool Plains raises a number of complex political, environmental and social issues that are at variance with our system of parliamentary democracy.
29/07/2008 | AUSTRALIA is facing the biggest test of all time, and it will take sustained pressure to bring it to heel.
29/07/2008 | I AM writing with regard to the ongoing blockade of BHP Billiton contracted drilling rigs at Caroona.
29/07/2008 | What has to be done to get all of our politicians, together with all of their parties, to wake up. Over the last 50 years water management has deteriorated, the situation has gone from poor management to ruinous management.
28/07/2008 | THANK you so much for accepting and printing my tribute “Farewell Chris” in dear old Tamworth’s own paper, The Northern Daily Leader.
28/07/2008 | ACCORDING to GK Chesterton, “Journalism is a false picture of the world, thrown upon a lighted screen in a darkened room, so that the real world is not seen.”
The method of deception therefore of a “kept” press, has a perfect bedmate in its adulterous relationship with Fabianism.

28/07/2008 | HAVING watched the crowd during the Pope’s recent visit, I was absolutely amazed at the wonderful behaviour of the young people and was also interested to note the remarks of some of the hoteliers on the route.
28/07/2008 | IN reply to Darryll Bowden’s letter to The Leader, on July 9, Sancho has China on his mailing list, as in spite of having much larger coal reserves than Australia and building many coal power stations, they also are building many wind generators using an Australian company for the major work.
28/07/2008 | I AM thankful to Bev Pattenden for her letter to the editor (The Leader, July 22) “Submissions for inquiry close Friday”.
I suggest that as a matter of urgency, the Senate Inquiry that was forced by Federal coalition be extended until the September local government election is held in NSW.
