When one of the Westsider family is hurting, we are all hurting.
Although often in the background, supporters like Robert Burgueno – owner of Cost Less Decor Blinds – keep this community-run newspaper going through thick and thin, and ensure we’re always here for you and the inner-west region.
Our deepest sympathies go to Robert, his son Nicolas and the rest of the family after the recent passing of their much-loved wife, mother and grandmother Kathy.
It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen. If you loved reading this article please consider donating to the Westsider. Support from you gives local writers an outlet and ensures an independent voice can be found in the west. If you're a business or community group, consider advertising in print or online, or becoming a community partner.
The Westsider is an incorporated association operating as a not for profit. We’re an independent monthly community newspaper for the inner-western suburbs of Melbourne, powered by community journalism and publishing articles written by people who live and work in the inner west. There are many ways you can get involved.
The Westsider is created on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
