Brunswick News

Brunswick News has been dormant for more than a year.

The site was offered as a virtual local paper to Brunswick. Anyone with a constructive approach was invited to post an article here under their own name. With such a restrictive policy it did not catch on, though the offer is still open.

There will be a federal election this year. In connection with the election, as editor I hope to post some information and support discussion about climate change policy with a focus on the electorate of Kooyong, not far from Brunswick and an important coalition-held seat.

The website may not look too good on a mobile phone. If there is a demand we could fix that.
