The club wishes to extend its gratitude to the many people and organisations across the district who generously gave their time and effort to ensure such a favourable result. Judy Ferguson and Murrumbidgee Magic Chorus, the Wagga City Rugby Male Choir, the Australian Army Band Kapooka and MC David Gilbey ensured the Appeals Week began on a high note before an enthusiastic audience.
Legatees and Friends of Legacy volunteers were supported by personnel from each of the Australian Defence Forces, the 219 Army Cadet Unit, the Riverina Veterans Group, school students, the office staff of AFL NSW/ACT and the management and patrons of shopping centres, local hotels and clubs who provided the opportunity to sell Legacy merchandise on their premises.
Valued contributions were also received from local residents and business houses.
Legacy Wagga already has, and will continue to receive, donations throughout the year for its annual Stock Drive from the stock selling agents, producers and buyers.
Without the generous support of these many organisations and individuals, the Legacy Appeal Week would not have had the successful result it has. The funds raised will allow Legacy to continue its work supporting the families of those who have served their country ensuring we enjoy the lifestyle we lead today.
Geoff Murray, Hon Secretary, Legacy Club of Wagga Inc
Something to think about
Ideas to one, make our Liberal Party more popular and two, entice more people to the country.
One: The final price of electricity comprises about one-third generation costs and two-thirds distribution and billing costs. The latter is done by greedy companies who make many, many millions of dollars of profits. So, let the state take over (by resumptions or nationalisation) the distribution and billing. With public servants doing the job, look for a big reduction of about 30 per cent to customers.
Two: People will settle in the country if jobs are there.
Our state has 24 water supply dams. Just a few have hydro-generators fitted. So, retrofit generators to those lacking … create jobs and cheap electricity (renewable).
Our government has identified three zones with substantial gas reserves – New England, Central West and Riverina. Add the Pilliga Forest if the fracking process were used. So, let us develop these gasfields. Build gas-fired electricity plants nearby, also owned and run by our state. Once production increases, build a few pipelines and take over the distribution and billing and supply.
Build dozens of smallish hydro dams on the upper tributaries of the big rivers flowing from the G.D.R. Site them in state forests and National Parks. Design them to run from full to empty in, say 3 months of no rain, driving hydro-generators.
Pressure our federal government to amend the 30-year-old law to allow nuclear power plants in Australia. Once done, get Japan to build some plants for us to own and operate. There are several isolated sites in State Forests along our South Coast.
