I am outraged that somehow they have been permitted to do this.

My family and I have been holidaying in Kioloa every Christmas for the past six years and it is shattering, to say the least, to hear the news that they will be killed having spent a lot of time with my kids watching and enjoying these unique animals.

It is simply disgraceful.

The wildlife is the highlight of us coming to Kioloa as the roos aren’t something we see every day.

Surely our precious Australian wildlife could be protected at all costs.

I’m sure there would be a lot of other visitors to the area that would feel the same the same way. 

The 2016 educational year is now in full swing and parents and carers across NSW are back to the daily routine of school drop offs and pickups.

As a mother, I know how hectic these times can be - with children, school bags, books, sporting equipment and instruments piling in and out of the car; with friends popping over to say ‘hello’ and any number of other distractions.

This is why special speed zones around schools are so important. School zones help keep our children safe. 

Yet, it has been reported that during 2014-2015, the NSW Department of State Revenue processed 100,411 speeding and red light camera infringement notices in school zones.

As well as being a mother, I am also a motor vehicle accident lawyer who regularly represents children injured in car accidents, and their devastated families.

We are so used to our cars that it is easy to forget how powerful they are and how much damage they can do.

I urge all motorists to remember that school is back and to pay careful attention to the reduced speed limits around schools.

Prime Minister Turnbull, stop threatening a double dissolution election and call one.

Challenge all candidates to declare their positions on marriage equality, the republic and Indigenous recognition.

As a result of doing this every voter will have the opportunity to assess the merits of their prospective member and this would be democracy in action.

I have the feeling the outcome may mirror an image of an old TV show New Faces. 

Health Minister Sussan Ley has no idea of how the health system works. All she cares about – her bottom line – is cutting government expenditure.

I’m on a fixed income and been a member a non-profit health fund for 55 years.

What Minister Ley is advocating is to deregister members of non-profit health funds and shuffle the members into one of three share driven funds namely, Medibank, Bupa or Nib. What arrogance.

Her next despicable act is to funnel health fund rebates away from members and redirect the $6 billion saved into state government treasuries. Such a move, if she succeeds, will cost me an extra $211 dollars a month and bring health insurance monthly payments to close to $600.

In our case all things being equal, every 100,000 persons on fixed incomes with private health insurance will be deprived of benefits and handing over $253.2 million per annum to the states.

This is sickening – the government does not give two hoots for those on lower incomes. This government is not a servant of the people. This is a government of organised hypocrisy looking after its own interests.
