Deniliquin briefly lost their thumbs

News

May 18 2018

If you have been wondering why Facebook has been quiet recently, it may have something to do with the fact there is no more of the classic Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down group.

Thousands of posts gone from history just like that and those posts came from thousands of people who were part of the group that rarely had a dull moment.

It seemed to have been a chaotic group, rules were more flexible than a Stretch Armstrong figure, there was a lot of admins and fights happened daily over well everything but occasionally people were told what they really needed to know (locations of used needles, customer service in shops etc).

A business that was given the thumbs down one day were almost assured of getting a barrage of thumbs up posts by the next day and the town quickly learned that criticizing a business was a very bad idea (do it in person instead, problems are usually solved that way).

The group sure had it all in its existence and people no doubt will miss what they saw going on day to day.

But don’t worry readers, there is another group out there to serve all your needs in getting to know who or what the movers and shakers of public opinion are.

So an era ended and a new one has begun, will it be as interesting and chaotic as the last one? Probably not but there’s no doubt it will be informative.

Poll Time (17/5/18)

Poll Time

May 17 2018

Poll Time is back and we have three questions that hopefully locals can answer so we can get an idea of where people stand on issues.

The questions are on Scott’s Park (aka informally as Rocket Park), Recycling and Live Exports.

Polls will remain open until next Thursday, if you have a question you want asked please let us know.

What do you think of the Scott’s Park – BMX track Concept Masterplan?

Over the last couple of weeks, locals have been looking at concept pictures of Scott’s Park (aka informally as Rocket Park) and they have been mostly well received.

Readers are asked if they like it, they think it is OK or they dislike it.

If you would like to look at the pictures again, click here.

Will Ipswich City Council’s attempt to end recycling kill off Deniliquin’s recycling hopes?

Ipswich City Council now known in Queensland as perhaps the most corrupt political body since the Joh Bjelke-Petersen days briefly ended recycling late last month citing China’s new rules and contamination.

They reversed their decision days later but the fact a big council even planned for the end of recycling could mean the end of Deniliquin’s hopes for kerbside recycling because if big councils don’t want it, why would little councils want it for?

Do you believe the attempt by ICC will end our local hopes?

Should Live Exports be phased out/banned?

Live Exports, we load up ships full of animals to take overseas for foreign countries to do what they want with them.

It brings in money but there are concerns that the practice is wrong and should be phased out or banned as soon as possible.

What do you think?
