Finally two towers have been built, near Nunamara and at Pecks Hill.
We are 10 kilometres from Nunamara and only three kilometres from Pecks Hill with absolutely no mobile phone reception. Thanks Telstra and NBN - only 30 kilometres from Tasmania’s second city - zilch.

Confession
IF AN individual admitted to me of being a molester of children I would, as would any decent citizen, report them immediately.
So what makes some Catholics so special that they don’t feel the need to be judged for their crimes like the rest of us and allowing the act of confession?
This action to my knowledge is not practised by any other faith, and should any priest refuse to report or to cover up such gross action, let him be judged as guilty as those he absolved from their actions.

People with nukes
MALCOLM Turnbull wants to do a Menzies with the melancholy duty line by deciding we would hang onto the US coattails if a war breaks out.
Don’t worry about how the people of this country feel about the whole issue Mr Turnbull, involving us with two loud-mouthed egotists hell bent on war mongering.
Mr Turnbull, you can go and join up with these deranged self-obsessed idiots, not us.
Peter M. Taylor, Midway Point.
Postal Plebiscite
THE PRIME Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, will be wishing he had never heard of the word plebiscite. The goings on since it was first mentioned are comical to say the least, all $122 million worth.
And if a plebiscite by post is carried out and a resounding yes from all states is forthcoming that will leave them in a very tight corner indeed.
Best thing that could happen I reckon, bring it on voters.
