Political spin soared so high this week it left On the Pulse with a head spin and gasping for breath.
Mike Baird and Troy Grant will spend $20 billion “to turbocharge infrastructure in NSW”!
It’s called ‘Rebuilding NSW’ and it will be ‘turbocharged’ from regional NSW’s cut of the electricity poles and wires sale, should the government be returned to office at the next election.
Based on past performances, On the Pulse was not surprised to learn that the Member for Northern Tablelands, Adam Marshall, was really anticipating this turbocharged prototype, and On the Pulse was pleased he could take it for a spin and not rely on a driver.
Taking to the streets against violence
One lane of traffic was obstructed by the Inverell Anti-Violence march on Thursday and a larger crowd of participants joined in the awareness event this year.
It was a commendable effort by women and men, from school-aged to elderly, who wanted to stand up and publicly say violence against anybody is unacceptable and not to be tolerated. That we can create solutions to the problem that lurks amongst us.
Word spreads about local Paddle Fest
Heinrich Haussler is taking the message of the Inverell’s 2015 debut Paddle Fest to the Wom-Dom-Nom. The funnily-named event is a four-day, 150km paddle from Wellington to Narromine on the Macquarie River started yesterday.
Haussler and Megan McFarlane, Alex Sibel, Simon White, Andrew Woodhead, Josephine Haussler and Jackson Haussler left on Wednesday to put kayaks in the Macquarie, but also to promote the coming waterborne event as an Inverell tourism attraction.
Haussler is no stranger to the water, having launched the popular Joeys Adventure Kayaking Tours.
The sport has found a permanent home in the hearts of many locals and tourists.
He conceived the Paddle Fest to show off the natural beauty of the local waterways, the region and promote healthy living.
The event will also be a fundraiser for a local charity, yet to be decided.
