It would be great to see the unmarked camera vehicles in these areas where pedestrian traffic is very heavy and where an accident is about to happen.

Colleen Shaw's letter ("Growth must guide decisions", The Daily Advertiser, December 8) noted that in recent years many local students have opted for university study elsewhere such as Wollongong or Canberra.

She argued that this is because the range of face-to-face courses available at the Wagga campus of CSU are limited.

With each CSU campus now having its own lighthouse courses, it seems unlikely that CSU will expand face-to-face course offerings at Wagga Wagga to include the majority of the courses offered by the university.

If Wagga Wagga is to be well served by CSU it may be necessary to consider alternatives. With a new vice-chancellor, Professor Renée Leon, it is time for CSU to review its regional planning model.

If CSU adopted a more local approach to its regional planning, then Albury-Wodonga and Wagga Wagga could be considered together and the range of courses planned in a co-ordinated way. The two centres are sufficiently close to make it possible for students to opt for the campus that has the courses that best suit their needs.

Such an arrangement is likely to be more attractive to students in both the Albury-Wodonga and Wagga Wagga regions for reasons of cost of travel and accommodation compared with larger cities and also the opportunity to maintain closer links with friends and family.

The offerings at these campuses could be complementary so that the majority of courses offered by CSU are available between them. Not to do this reduces both the appeal of CSU to students and diminishes its reputation in both the Albury-Wodonga and Wagga Wagga regions.

There are many benefits we hope to achieve with the closedown, (ease down), of this COVID disaster.

Travel, visit family and friends, eat out, exercise, discard the masks and many other little personal privations which we currently endure.

In particular, to be able to sit and watch the news on TV without being subjected to endless portrayals of health experts, armed with syringes, sucking medical gravy out of little glass vials and squirting the stuff into arms.

On one recent occasion, I suffered 18 of these depictions, in under eight minutes, before some other, seriously important news reports were delivered.

These displays don't give prospective students of medicine: nurses, paramedics, doctors and other health faculties much in the way of interesting processes of which to look forward to in their chosen professions.

Oh - for the good old days of message sticks and smoke signals.

Yes, (I'm serious ennui)
