I must confess that over the years the Canberra Times news and comment pages have filled me with a variety of emotions.

They still do.

The drought now affecting the rural community in many parts
of Australia is emerging as one of Australia's. biggest
farming problems.
Across the rich agricultural and pastoral areas of Australia
the severe drought conditions are daily growing more important.
In Victoria for instance, very large parts of the State are
affected by the drought, while in South Australia all of the
local government authority areas are severely affected.

NEW SOUTH WALES LIBERAL PARTY CONVENTION
This last year has been an epic year for the Liberal Party..
The New South Wales Party made a major contribution to the
victory in the Federal election.
One of the great qualities of the Liberal Party, which has been
demonstrated again and again in both state and federal politics,
is its capacity for regeneration for the rekindling
of enthusiasm for its rededication to the ideals for which
the Party stands.
