It seems that 'everyone must go' is, in practice, the message from this government to the young people of this country. They are obeying and leaving in droves, according to the latest stats.

Just been told Todd Energy are going to drill 4 new wells on their site closest to us in 2027. There was a problem with traffic restrictions on the road at the bottom of our property which is zoned rural. (cont)
