Pandering to the Government Surveys Have Shown That Voters Trust Non-Government Organisations Much More Than They Trust Politicians and Businesses
Pandering to the Government Surveys have shown that voters trust non-government organisations much more than they trust politicians and businesses.

Lady Thatcher Celebrated Her 80Th Birthday Last
LADY THATCHER CELEBRATED HER 80TH BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT WITH 650 GUESTS Andrew Pierce reports The Times Friday, October 14, 2005 BARONESS THATCHER had the perfect excuse to be a little late last night for her 80th birthday party in the presence of the Queen, Tony Blair and some unlikely names from the show-business world. She was delayed by an unexpected telephone call from President Bush wishing her a happy birthday. The ten- minute call from the White House was the latest in a series of tributes that poured in from around the world. It marked yet another highlight in the life of a woman who still casts a huge shadow over the Conservative Party. The red carpet was rolled out for Lady Thatcher, who was dressed in a navy blue cocktail coat and silk chiffon dress designed by Camilla Milton. Lady Thatcher, who looked frail, made no public comment as a crowd of wellwishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. The 650-strong guest list was a roll call of honour from the 1980s Thatcher heyday. Michael Portillo, who was once seen as her anointed heir, made a surprise appearance. He said: "She was influential in her day but not now." But the former Prime Minister also sprinkled the list with some surprise names from both sides of the political divide. The Queen, in a shimmering silver dress, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prime Minister were the principal guests at the drinks party in the gold-embossed ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park, in Knightsbridge. -

William arrived on Hillsborough on 26 July 1799 at the age of 23 as a lifer, having had his death sentence for stealing £20 from his employer commuted to transportation. On Christmas Day 1806, William married Elizabeth Hollingsworth after she had been assigned to him from the Female Factory at Parramatta. She had ar rived on 24 June 1804 on Experiment 1 to serve seven years for stealing just one pound from her employer. They were to have eight children. William obtained a ticket of leave on 19 January, 1811, by which time he had carved out a living for his family at Eastern Creek raising wheat and cattle and supplying grain and meat to the Government Store. This brings us to the mound pictured at right. It is a beehive well, built by Lumpy Dean in 1814, one of many scattered around the re- gion, but without doubt the best preserved, although it may have been Lumpy's Beehive Well with peephole, repaired in 1911.

It was ever thus! We all have a strong sense of heritage and love the chance to explore sites of long ago. So when Wendy Selman of the Southern Highlands Chapter announced that there would be a guided tour of the heritage Wendy & Colin Selman, listed Joadja Creek Valley and that members of the Pat Robinson Fellowship were invited to join, many responded positively and 42, representing five chapters, booked their adventure for 26th March. Unfortunately flood rains swamped the valley that week and when the postponed tour finally took place on 11th April, numbers had dwindled to 30. The valley is half an hour’s drive west of Mittagong and on a cloudy and windless day, folk from three different chapters and other members ‘at large’ from as far afield as Canberra, and the Blue Mountains The whole enterprise was self-sufficient.
