Longest Book in the World workshop was a great success. A participant liked how organised and well set up the workshop was. I must give thanks to the Leopold Library staff who were welcoming and supportive. It was a lovely group of seven. The age range was from about 6 to 60 years old. Participants came from Melbourne to Torquay. Everyone could find within themselves their favourite place or spot in City of Greater Geelong. I thank all the participants, Geelong Regional Library, and Geelong Writers. A participant took the photographs, identifies as Anon. (No photographs were taken without verbal consent).

RE: Concerned Australian citizen. Opening up too soon? What safety guards do you have in place? I have read the Federal Governments four-page Road Map out of COVID lockdowns there is;
no stated ideal percentage of vaccinated population
no actual time when to open the states up and contradicts
nothing about stocking our hospitals
nothing on supporting the states
nothing on if it goes a rye To date the Federal Government vaccine roll-out is not on track, with
Failure to get enough vaccines to rural NSW,
Failure to get enough vaccines to GPs,
Failure to get enough vaccines to Chemists,
Failure to have the First Nation population full vaccinated
Failure to have all Aged care workers vaccinated (19% 25 August 2021) As it appears the Commonwealth Government unable to meet its own targets. Why are you blaming the states in having a wait and see approach? If you were so concerned about the population of Australia the Federal government would have met its targets by now and put in clear guidelines on if things don’t go to plan. Is it good for Federal Government business to be haranguing the states to open when we are only 27% vaccinated?
Is the Federal Governments action on climate targets more than hot air?
LETTER SENT NO2
“I won’t be signing a blank cheque on behalf of Australians to targets without plans,” Prime Minister Morrison announced yesterday 10/08/2021. Is the Federal Governments action on climate targets more than hot air?
The Federal Government has openly stated Australia will come out of COVD with a “Gas fired recovery” where staggering amounts of money have been doled out with little transparency.
Gas consultancy went to Boston Consulting Group received nine million dollars. Subsidies going to the gas industry in the form of indirect and direct funds where nearly one billion dollars going to projects; Beetaloo Basin (Northern Territory) Bowen Basin (Queensland), and Galilee Basin (Queensland)
The Great Barrier Reef was in the news as being endangered by UNESCO and our Federal Government didn’t see this as an opportunity rather a rebuke from outside Australia. However, I do believe scientists in Australia have been informing us for decades on the plight of the Great Barrier Reef.
I look forward to a response on how the Federal Government plans to be responsible, accountable, and transparent on climate targets for Australia.
