Yes! Poltalk is politically neutral. Hugh Bingham belongs to no political party. He is a swing voter, deciding how best to vote on the issues of the time. In this newsletter, Bingham offers his own candid comments for readers to consider. He is NOT trying to convince you. On the role of Parliaments, he believes Opposition parties should question Cabinet policies and processes but never, particularly with any new government, set out to destroy legitimate government process.
I have been vastly helped in this project by Amanda Gearing, outstanding Toowoomba journalist, writer and friend, not so long ago known widely as The Courier-Mail’s reporter for the Darling Downs and Western Queensland. Amanda is patiently escorting me through the Internet technology that must be learned, even at age 80, to convert typescript to webpage readability. I am deeply grateful.
Toowoomba and Darling Downs political and social commentary. Print copies of this newsletter may be ordered from Toowoomba's Office Works, phone 4699-5300
