He&#8217;s the kind of person one thinks of when the term &#8216;salt of the earth&#8217; is used, just a very good person who has taken on the most impossible odds. This man and his team [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dorette &amp; Co: A Force for Fostering and Sterilisation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Just this last week, Dorette and Theo have had to deal with a &#8216;complainant&#8217; who seems to be invisible since Council will not tell us who they are, and the narrow-minded by-laws have been used once again as leverage, the arbitrary pet limit laws coming to the fore.
