SA Country Hour: Lucas ForbesSouth Australia's ageing wild dog fence will receive a $25 million upgrade if the Federal Coalition is re-elected.If re-elected, the Coalition has pledged $25m to repair a 1,600km stretch of SA's wild dog fenceFarmers, who lost an estimated 19,000 sheep to wild dogs in 2018, have cheered the announcement
The Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, said improving the dog fence was a multi-generational investment for the state."This is a 100 year old structure that obviously it needs replacing." "So while we can't sign off on the deal this side of the election, I think it would take a very brave Government indeed to take money away from farmers."The fence has been one of South Australian agriculture's biggest issues, with more than 19,000 sheep estimated to have been killed by wild dogs in the state last year.

Whistleblower nurse backs refugee's claims about life in detentionAn Iranian refugee is suing the Federal Government over his treatment in immigration detention in WA and SA, with court documents including claims from other asylum seekers and a psychiatric nurse. truth will out as they say. The LNP can't keep this shit under wraps forever. And yet my fellow Australians continue to support the actions and lies of politicians by allowing this to happen in their name. We should ALL be ashamed. We should not be so worried about refugees if Liberals are spending 1600$ for each refuge, food , health and so on is not included in 1600$ is only to baby seat each gefuge. Or maybe all those taxpayers money is deposited in Cayman Island 🌴 safe haven for Liberals.

'Vile' racism scrawled on Aboriginal Greens candidate's posterAn election poster for an Aboriginal elder running for a Senate spot in SA is defaced with words calling for the death of Indigenous people. I’ll fix the headline for you ‘vile racist comment scrawled on greens poster by own party to drum up sympathy and support and to further divide the nation’ Well that just endorses his campaign doesn't it. Probably done by one of the Greens in order to confect a story so that they could get free publicity for him, otherwise it is just the work of one nasty troll and not newsworthy at all.

Labor pledges multi-billion dollar overhaul of childcare subsidiesBill Shorten says Labor's changes would make childcare free for around 370,000 low-income families, saving them on average $1,400 a year. Yet another thing that Coalition don't have... childcare, because they don't care. Hopefully they look into 'fees for no service' and 'fees for crap service' . ChildcareRoyalCommission Labor auspol AusVotes19 billshortenmp SenatorWong I think without a massive crackdown this would just be rorted by childcare centres.
