Not only that, Helen; but the Government is buying full-page ads in the newspapers now. Don't expect to see to much more negative info from them! I recall a few years ago when everyone was worried about the pollution in the sea, especially Manly beach. The papers were really after the State Govt. until they began to take out the ads. Then even the letters to the editor about the subject came to an end.

Besides the unfairness of the thing, what bothers me most is the fact that the budget surplus comes from taking money away from people who really need it--like the pensioners and the people going into old-age homes--and now want to give it to the prople who have it already.
