Hello Everyone,

Welcome to issue 72, and of course, Happy New Year! Now, what will 2022 bring us, I wonder?

First up, Cranky Lizard is on Holidays and will be back in issue 73. I know he will be missed.

I would like to welcome Kym Braithwaite back to the Local News as Chief of Staff. Kym will be looking after all our editorial and is working very closely with Michael Thomas to ensure we continue to offer quality balanced local content.

This month we have a variety of articles covering some wonderful initiatives and topical issues affecting our region. For example, a promise of more local doctors, which many have been asking for, skin cancer awareness and the chance to See Yourself in Orange by joining Bribie SES.

In 2022 The Local News will continue to create discussions about real local issues as they come up, and as always, please support our local businesses to help keep our economy going.

Warm regards

Belinda Ferguson
