Though you are under siege from Mike Baird and Co there is a groundswell of support building within the government ranks for the latest decision to ban greyhound racing to be reviewed and overturned.

The chatter can be heard and the nervous activity of many on the government benches much noticed.

The enormity of what they have done is hitting home to many of them and when this happens the previous display of support starts to disappear.

It would appear than on this issue the government has got it wrong and corrective action must be crafted as a matter of urgency.

Don’t rule out a leadership challenge if polling indicates a loss of support for the government. The media attacks are relentless and when that happens the self-interest of members kicks in previous loyalties are challenged.

Mike Baird is under siege and it’s of his own making.

I am really concerned for Mike Baird. People are really getting sick and tired of his propaganda –  knowing what he is doing is wrong also at the taxpayer expense.

I really hope and pray that we win this fight just to wipe the smug smile off Troy Grant's face. We must keep up the pressure, not only for greyhounds but for the good country people of NSW who are in danger of being totally screwed.

In regards to the editorial in Wednesday’s Register regarding the coming council elections, who do you vote for? Larry, Curly or Moe? I’ll pass and pay the fine.

Since 2000, I have visited the Long Cross twice and each time, prior to entering that area, government officials have made clear the conditions of entry. 

It was a bit like entering a private car park in Australia only a lot less legalistic and complicated.

Anyone familiar with the Australian veterans' scene would realise some veterans disregarded these requirements during the 40th anniversary remembrances, failing to consider  the Vietnamese government and people may have different cultural and political perspectives on the war.  

Veterans failed to recognise they were guests in another's homeland and common courtesy required they at least respect their host's point of view even if in the past they had violent differences with them.

The “last minute cancellation” seems to indicate that the Australian government's approach to negotiating with the Vietnamese government has been as insensitive.

Regarding the letter to SCR by Cris George about unexploded ordnance on the old Tianjara artillery range. I support his sentiments entirely. The National Parks and Wildlife Service needs to reveal how it intends to manage the area now it has formal advice regarding the potential contamination.

 In my view it needs a clear delineation between the former training area and the rest of the Morton National Park. It is not rocket science for most people.

As Cris said “the public are entitled to know”. The basic principle is that the risk is present until proven otherwise.Most of the land can never be examined and therefore never remediated. But main tracks to the most popular destinations can be examined and where necessary remediated. The signage needs to simply advise the public of the history and recommend staying on identified tracks and trails.It is now two years since the official report was given to the NPWS It is a basic duty of care.
