The City of Palmerston Council have posted on their web site that Palmerston is a great place for people and familys to live I would ask how can anyone truly live in Palmerston when there is no infrastructure as a City to support them let alone not even having a 24/7 Community medical centre or indeed a Hospital !.
Beside all these facts The Palmerston City Council have also put up the rates and taxes as being a " City " and yet have no on going infrastructure or supports to the local community as being a " City " to even justify these rates and taxes as we pay as a " City " what of our young Australians what of their needs as there is no night life support for them and indeed no where to go other than to a pub and we all know what " Alcohol " does in the short and long term.
It would be interesting to have an investigation or audit done as to where all this " free moneys " have gone to seeing how it has not been spent directly on the residents of " The City of Palmerston " from where it came from in the first place.
So why are we also now paying dump fee's for using our own dump? in that you say one thing and do another.
I see too that your TV station has no means of having local content with out a News room in Darwin City or Palmerston City or indeed any where in Northern Territory along with the fact that there is " NO local content " on your TV station in the reporting of News that you do broadcast for any concerned Northern Territorian.
I there for would ask again what value is there in having you as even a regional TV station when you have stated that your TV station supports the Northern Territory how can this be when you don't even have a studio let alone the fact that what news feed you do broadcast is relayed from Queensland to which that news feed has got no value or local content concerning the Northern Territory.
In fact you don't have any local input at all here in the Northern Territory its all controlled remotely from another state !.
I would also ask you WHY have you been persisting in broadcasting matters that have " NO Australian content " what so ever.
I have even found myself asking just what phone number would I have to dial in a emergancy here in Australia is it " 911 " or what ?.
Seeing how you are supposed to be an Australian TV Broadcasting company and complying with all of the ACMA broadcasting acts in Australian supposedly having Australian content so why would I even have to think what phone number would I have dial in an emergancy here in Australia thats how bad your lack of Australian content is in these broadcasts of yours where this can be clearly seen and heard its just about non existant !.
I would ask also what " educational value or intertainment value " does your " USA own Tele Marketing TV programs " have in which there is NO Australian content in these broadcasts what so ever other than selling American hard sell TV Tele Marketing with American actors or American celebrities that are in these Tele marketing programs.
So there goes the current prohibition on foreign control of commercial television here in Australia so see this then what about compliance with current foreign control rules covering your ACMA television licence conditions ?.
I also have taken note to that Australian TV has just celebrated 50 years of Australian TV however it can be seen that its not all Australian content and over the past 12 years its been become more American TV than Australian.
You are making the Australian TV net more benign than ever and whats the point of having such so called FREE to AIR TV if all one gets to see is " American TV Tele Marketing programing " and the like.
I would ask WHY is this " American Tele Marketing TV programing " doing on Australian TV for in the first place which you have taken to broadcasting on our Australian TV networks which yous repeatedly broadcast for hours on end pumping out the want of a better word " American Tele Marketing products " for hours, days on end such as " Whitening for Teeth , Dental floss, Pro active, american exercise weights, american kitchen products, etc ", the list just goes on and on let alone having other American actors doing other TV commercials for products sold here in Australia.
