Get on board I WAS reading Mr Hadley’s letter in The Voice on July 22, 2023 regarding the proposed trackless tram along Scarborough Beach Road, and I felt it important to say a few things in response as the President of the Stirling Progress Association, former adviser to the minister for transport and a father.…

Misinformed JOHN CORBELLINI was misinformed for his response regarding damage to mature native trees at the site of the telecommunications tower on Britannia Reserve (“Shady prune raises eyebrows,” Voice, July 9 2023). The supposedly dead tree he referred to was removed months ago. Optus’ plans for the tower, dated 28 February 2023 state: “Existing tree…

Dense as in thick IF we had a sustainable human population policy, we wouldn’t need to have high density, high rise, urban sprawl. How many more f…ing houses do we have to have? Life for most would be pleasant and desirable; comparable to the good old days decades back. But not for the few vested…

Going down is going up YOU state in your article of June 17, 2023 Vincent’s underground power bill will now be up to $9,000. Last time (a few years back) it started at $8,000. Then it went to $8,500.

Victor Smith Yokine Nothing ambiguous REGARDING “More trees to go,” (Voice, June 10, 2023): “but staff said it was ‘ambiguous’ as to whether they…

Fair cop? I AM writing in regard to a parking fine I received from the City Of Perth after attending a sporting event two Saturdays ago. I parked at a parking spot with a sign adjacent to my car. At the time people parked behind me and we chatted about the parking sign. It was…

I’m a NO! ANTHONY ALBANESE’S poorly conceived Indigenous Voice to Parliament proposal will not do anything to fix the issues in Aboriginal Australia that he talks about. Government mishandling, and dishing out money to Aboriginal Australia like it’s confetti without any accountability, is exactly how we have arrived at the situation we see in remote…

It’s a real transagenda REGARDING your article, “Some dicks don’t get it: Support pours in for storytime drag queen” (Voice, April 1, 2023). It would appear that the City of Bayswater and your paper would have people believe that “Support pours in for storytime drag queen” and are therefore culpable of pushing this transgender agenda…

For women I JUST want to correct the record, in the article “Some Dicks don’t get it”(Voice, April 1, 2023). In this article the UK women’s rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (AKA Posie Parker) is falsely referred to as an “anti-trans” activist. Keen visited Perth last month, holding an event where women were given a chance…
