Stolen silver: Police are appealing for help from the public to identify a car believed to have been used in the theft of silver bullion near Picton.

Anybody with information is urged to contact the police.
The cost of living: Retailers say food prices will stay high for a few more months as the industry deals with the impacts of COVID, floods and the war in Ukraine. Raw materials, energy prices and freight costs are all factors in the hike.
Death of a leader: The former general manager of Wollongong Council, Rod Oxley, has died at Wollongong Hospital. He was 74. Mr Oxley died after suffering a medical episode earlier this month. In 2000 he was awarded the Public Service Medal for outstanding service to local government and the community.
Rental increases: According to recent data, the cost of renting a property in regional areas has increased by more than 17 per cent.
