Drought forecasts and civic woes dominate New Year notes
The piece quips on Wragge predicting drought from New Year’s Day and Clement’s prophetic error. It notes more liquor sellers, anti ghettos act impact, a Cootamundra solicitor fined for un stamped receipts found on a drunken arrestee, and civil servants facing roll inclusion and rent issues. It mentions municipal finances, state legislation, and local council quirks at Bourke with a smoking alderman as a closing laugh.
