Letters from The Big City Daily on migrants and mispronunciations
A reader vents about migration policy and court cases, mocking mispronounced NSW town names and officials. The letter references alcohol at pubs, a scandalous bid, and a postal tale of misaddressed parcels from 1959. It contrasts urban satire with a closing lyric on delivery mixups and a letter to Lady in White.

Lebanese Prelate in Gloucester in scarce local housing move
Monsignor Farah spoke to the Advocate about the need for a new church as the NSW Housing Commission resumed the Brock site of the former church. The Commission later provided another block in Redfern Sydney. He celebrated church offices in homes of scattered flock and stayed with Mrs Dan in Gloucester. The Lebanese church headquarters are in Antioch.
