About Us

The Dutch Courier was first published in Victoria on behalf of the Associated Netherlands Societies in 1970 by Max Leening. The idea of the publication was to connect all the different Dutch clubs in Victoria through a publication that functioned like an extended newsletter. Since then the Dutch Courier has spread it's wings and became the national printed newspaper for the Dutch Community in all of Australia.

Short Dutch news in English

Keukenhof
For the second year in a row, the Keukenhof flower gardens are closed to the public, and are welcoming the public online instead. Bart Siemerik, managing director of the Keukenhof, has mixed feelings when he walks through the park these days. ‘It makes you happy because all the flowers are there, and it makes you sad because you know you can’t share it with others,’ he says. Unable to open already last year, the Keukenhof had prepared in the hope that its 2021 season would look different: visitors had to buy their tickets online for specific time slots in advance, with only a limited number of people allowed to enter for each slot. Pavilions, restaurants and flower shops had been closed, and mechanical turnstiles with ticket readers had replaced the receptionists

Accidential leake
The two people charged with kick-starting the coalition negotiations have resigned after one – D66 home affairs minister Kajsa Ollongren – accidentally leaked her private notes to reporters as she left parliament on Thursday.

ING halving branches
ING is more than halving its number of branches in the Netherlands, leading to the loss of 440 jobs. Only 59 high street branches will be left after the 69 scheduled for closure are shut, the bank said on . At the same time, the bank said it is expanding the number of service points in other shops, such as the Bruna book and office supply chain, by 75 to 321. ING currently employs 15,000 people in the Netherlands. ‘More and more things are now easy to arrange digitally,’ said ING Nederland chief executive Ruud van Dusschoten.

Closing parks
Alcohol has been banned in the popular Sonsbeek park in Arnhem while outdoor spaces in other cities have been closed to the public as people flock outside to take advantage of the spring sunshine. Amsterdam has closed the Vondelpark and in Tilburg, the gates of the Spoorpark have also been closed because it is too busy. Some local authorities have been introducing measures to try to ensure social distancing, such as chalk circles on the grass on the Museumplein in Amsterdam and in parks in Utrecht.

Votes of no confidence for Mark
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte is battered and bruised following votes of no confidence but he is still standing. ‘I will continue as prime minister’,’ he said
