There was a huge outcry from asthmatics and people who were suffering from bronchial issues from the flowers of the trees and the constant mess from the falling berries.

Council decided that they would not plant any more and that the existing trees would be removed as they aged.

Over recent years council has planted cedar trees all around Wagga. Tarcutta Street, Johnston Street and Cross Street, just to name a few, and apparently Little Best Street.

So it seems council has chosen to disregard the earlier decision, much to the disappointment of many people.

Is it possible that someone has taken it upon themselves to rectify the situation?

Maybe it is time that the various levels of government we have in Australia stopped spending money they don't have.

One day someone will have to pay it back.

Simplified ScoMo climate plan goes like this: Plan, plan, plan, blan, blan, blan, blah, blah, blah.

Was the COP26 conference in Glasgow a failure? Only time will tell, but one thing gives me hope.

I have been in touch with a blogger attending sessions at the conference.

She was in a climate march last Saturday which police estimated as around 100,000 people, the biggest march in the UK since the mammoth 2003 Iraqi war.

She said even pouring rain didn't deter the marchers.

There were also hundreds of similar marches around the world mostly made up of young people and families.

Since Greta Thunberg began her first climate protest, there are now thousands of Greta Thunbergs scattered around the planet with millions of followers and most of them are now starting to vote.

The Australian performance at the conference was embarrassing, but my blogger did admit the Aussie pavilion did have the best coffee!

I believe the only way we are going to get ambitious climate action (and not spin about unproven claims) is to, as Barack Obarma said on Monday, "vote the issue".

That is, to vote in politicians that take the present planet climate emergency seriously and take action now - and not in 30 years' time. The physics do not wait for gradual change. Winning slowly is simply another way of losing.

For the sake of our children, grandchildren and the biodiversity of our country, we need a federal government not tied down by vested interests and inertia.

That is why I see the coming election as the most important one since Federation in 1901.
