Did you get yourself a democracy sausage on the weekend? 

Was that the best thing to come out of this election? 

Some may think so, others not. 

But that is democracy for you. 

Dear friends and partners of Cooma Salvation Army,

It’s that time of year when we reach out for donations to build social services in this region for The Salvation Army though the annual Red Shield Appeal.

Well that’s another election done and dusted and here we are, headed into a new term with a new leader. Some will be happy with the result, some won’t and a handful of others are possibly still sniggering over what they did with their ballot papers. 

Just prior to the federal election, one of the federal election candidates went to Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre after a morning meeting voters at the Cooma markets. She had intended to recharge her electric vehicle (EV) so she could return to Bega.

Modern technology is wonderful, isn’t it? Like, I never truly appreciated just how useful my mobile phone could be because I only ever use it really for things like making and taking calls and sending and receiving texts. I don’t use it as a mobile computer because I’m not that addicted to being online, but for when I want to be, I have a desktop. This works for me.
