An RSL sub-branch has reportedly been told they would have to pay up to $5,000 for ‘traffic management plans’ for ANZAC dawn services this year. Transport Minister Andrew Constance has since released a statement saying diggers will not be charged to march 'now or anytime into the future.
' However, 2GB radio presenter says this statement was ‘carefully worded’ by the Minister, as in fact 'Transport for NSW' told local councils to pay this fee, with some councils then poised to pass on this cost on to RSL clubs and veterans. Mr Smith says this is ‘terribly disrespectful’ to those who have served their country.
How disrespectful is that,I’m gobsmacked

Natural disasters are not the result of climate change: 2GB'S Chris Smith | Sky News AustraliaBroadcaster Chris Smith has told Sky News that ‘it’s ludicrous’ anyone could think natural disasters are the result of climate change. \n\nEnvironment Minister Melissa Price told Sky News on Tuesday there was ‘no doubt climate change is having an impact on us’ after bushfires raged across Victoria and her home state of Western Australia this week. \n\nMr Smith told Sky News host Peta Credlin ‘no wonder they kept Melissa Price’s mouth shut for so long, because they realised what she really thought’. \n\nHe says the fires started by lightning strikes and improper clearing of overgrown land, and begged those who blamed climate change to ‘give us a break’. \n\n\n rowandean Just because SKY Channel and it's right wing agenda says Climate Change is BS doesn't mean it is.

Taxpayers charged more than $500,000 on flags | Sky News AustraliaTaxpayers have been charged more than $500,000 on flags between July and September 2018, according to the Gold Coast Bulletin. \n\nThe analysis reveals Labor politicians have spent the most, charging just over $284,000 followed by the Coalition who spent $247,000. \n\nVictorian MP Lisa Chester has defended her individual spending of $15,000, saying her electorate covers over 6,000 square kilometres. \n\n\n\n\n\n That is a lot of money ,but on the positive side it won’t cost much to fly them upside down if labor wins the next election. Worth every cent It's our national flag. I'd be more concerned if taxpayers money was spent on Aboriginal flags or Rainbow flags.
