editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial Disgust, Disappointment and Désolé Vol 16 September 15thwondered 2017 Readers may have why I haven’t reported on the last mee7ng of Council. The three words above 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 only begin to describe my views of the mee7ng.
The first is Disgust. Disgust that Council responded to clearing the Council owned land at Broulee saying they had sought legal advice, and based on that advice they did so. The Disgust comes from the fact that in 2003 the Council staff were told to make the land (an unformed road) community and place it under a Plan of Management for Reserves. They failed to do so. So legally the Unformed Road was not Community and legally they could clear it. But morally they disgust me. Five weeks before they cleared the land they were advised, and recognised, their blunder and failure to ac7on a 2003 Council direc7ve. Rather than respect the wishes of the community they instead sought legal advice that enabled them to proceed with an arrangement that benefiAed the developer and snubbed the community. Legal? Yes. Morally reprehensible? Yes. Note that this was not the Councillors. This was the senior management. The second occurrence of Disgust was during the Pubic Forum session where a member of the Broulee community was addressing the Councillors and Senior staff. As the speaker was saying “The General Manager and senior staff have shown uAer contempt for the principle of community consulta7on” I no7ced that Council’s senior planner was distracted by his phone. For the en7re seven minutes of a presenta7on by a well respected Community Associa7on member aimed squarely at the Planner and senior staff the Senior Planner scrolled his phone. The third occasion of Disgust on the day was the fact that the Public Forum was being chaired by the Deputy Mayor instead of the Mayor. The Disgust came from knowing that the Mayor, Clr Lindsay Brown and Clr Jack Tait were present in the building but chose not to aAend to listen to their community present. There were eight solid presenta7ons delivered that morning on Agenda items of the day including impassioned deliveries from members of the community regarding the proposed sale of Council owned land at Dalmeny. The Disappointment The Disappointment stemmed from the disdain that was being shown to Councillors by their peers and the aggression that was on display from both staff and councillors to anyone who indicated an alternate view or had the audacity to ask a valid, opposing ques7on. I won’t even begin to describe the slithy, tovey, narky, biAer, whinceworthy, Gollum like display of one councillor as another addressed the chamber and gallery. Nor will I bother to elaborate on a senior staff member stepping over the line to publicly dress down a Councillor for not being at a briefing . Had that staff member bothered to enquire they would have discovered the Councillor had a valid reason to be absent. The outburst by the staff member was clearly of a vindic7ve nature intended to discredit a Councillor. Also of disappointment is the game that is played by Councillors who, under new rules, demand copies of presenta7ons to be read the following day during Public Forum and Public Access. The stated inten7on is to give Councillors 7me to digest, research and then form ques7ons to ask of the speakers. That is the inten7on they offered to jus7fy the new rules. The fact of the maAer is that they use the 7me to formulate confronta7onal ques7ons that oKen begin with “Are you aware?” This was played out once again this week with the intent of beliAling a Public Forum speaker by sugges7ng it beagle weekly : Vol 216 July 16th 2021

editorial was they who had failed, and not Council. The giveaway this 7me was the prepared prop of a printout of a Dalmeny Zoning Map being waved about. Time and 7me again the blatant Dorothy Dix ques7ons from the chamber floor suggest there is a premeditated collusion between councillors and staff. The Disappointment con7nued when the Councillors voted 6-3 against a deferral un7l “no earlier than the Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 first mee7ng of the newly elected Council body” and “that Staff plan for a period of formal community consulta7on in rela7on to this maAer to be completed prior to any decision being made”. This most reasonable mo7on was voted down 6-3 with the majority of Councillors who voted instead to support the staff recommenda7on and nego7ate the sale giving nego7a7on delega7on to the General Manager. This vote was made even though the Councillors had before them 219 pages of submissions from the community wriAen by many with exper7se and what Clr McGinlay noted as “legi7mate concerns”. On top of this was an electronic pe77on with 1596 signatures. To add insult to injury it has been revealed that the Councillors voted (by majority) to sell the land without knowing how much it had been valued. When the Staff-recommended sale of this land was explained at a briefing to Councillors on Tuesday 15 June, Clr McGinlay requested that Councillors be advised of the es7mated value of the land as outlined in the professionally commissioned valua7on report for the land. That request was denied by the General Manager. It wasn’t un7l July the 7th that she consented, but only if Clr McGinlay looked at the valua7on in her office with no copy made. Basically Council staff do not trust our Councillors. There has been one occurrence already where Councillor tablets and phones have been demanded to be returned, to be trawled by staff looking for evidence of confiden7al informa7on leaks. The Désolé (Fr. sorry) I am, what the French say, “Je suis vraiment désolé”, by the en7re sordid, fe7d underbelly that sees Senior Staff doing as they please, Teflon coated and without accountability or consequence. In the thirty five years I have lived in the Shire I have never seen the level of toxicity we now have between the community and the Council. As I said last week the blame might well sit with Councillors for having given too much control away under delega7on, but the fact is that the Senior Execu7ve are at the helm. But at the helm of what? Behind all of this is a thing called Fit for the Future that demands Councils become more self reliant. This means that the grant gravy trains are drying up. In order to Tick The Box for State and Federal Government loans Councils must prove they are Fit for the Future. This needs evidence of revenue. Rates are Revenue— more houses means more rates. Fees and Charges, and Water and Sewer fees all must rise to cover demand and overheads. No budget means a reduc7on in services. If there isn’t enough then let’s have a jus7fiable Special Rate Varia7on. Development is good for Council. More development is beAer. It means more income. The argument is that more people will see an increase in services and expansion of key facili7es such schools and hospitals along with job opportuni7es and affordable housing. But our councillors have been played as muppets for the past five years to a Bigger Game and our Execu7ve, in turn, are being played as puppets on a much bigger stage. And while this is the case the Us and Them, we have will con7nue. The ques7on is “What can, and must, a new Council do to turn the 7de? Un7l next—Lei beagle weekly : Vol 216 July 16th 2021

New route for Araluen Road Vol 16 September 15th 2017 is 27th underway to construct a new route 28 April December 7th, 2017 VolWork 48 2018
around a significant landslide on Araluen Road, approximately 22 kilometres from Moruya. Eurobodalla Council has nego7ated agreement and funding for the alternate route, which director of infrastructure Warren Above: Work has begun on an alternate route around a Sharpe described as “a safer and far more landslide on Araluen Road, approximately 22 kilometres resilient solu7on for the community into the from Moruya. future”. “We expect to have sealed the road there by Christmas, with residen7al traffic allowed through the worksite in November. These dates are subject to reasonable weather and to no other significant challenges being iden7fied during construc7on,” Mr Sharpe said. “The new route goes through private land and state forest and we thank both landowners and Forestry NSW for their collabora7on in helping make this improved outcome possible for the whole community. “Despite impacts from ongoing rainfall, we’ve also completed the upgrade of the temporary detour route, including gravel reshee7ng, to improve driving condi7ons for residents.” Araluen Road suffered damage on an unprecedented scale following a series of natural disasters. Mr Sharpe said along with personal, property and environmental impacts, Deua Valley and Merricumbene residents had to deal with access issues arising from damage to the Council-maintained road network from the 2019-20 bushfires and a series of storms and flooding, with destroyed bridges, collapsed roadside slopes, damaged road surfaces and dangerous fire-affected trees. “We s7ll have many challenges elsewhere along the length of Araluen Road, which remains closed for the foreseeable future around 43 kilometres from Moruya. NSW Public Works Advisory have been engaged to inves7gate op7ons to restore access at that loca7on. We expect it to take about five months before any decisions about restoring the exis7ng road or rou7ng around the landslide area can be made,” Mr Sharpe said. “We con7nue to work hard at rebuilding damaged roads right across Eurobodalla; rec7fying other landslide sites and removing dead trees along the 490km of bushfire-affected roadways. “We are grateful for the support of the NSW and Australian Governments under natural disaster funding arrangements.” For more informa7on visit hAps://www.esc.nsw.gov.au/council/major-projects/current-projects/roadsand-bridges/restoring-access-araluen-road

No ‘one size fits all’ for access Eurobodalla Council has produced new resources to help businesses, spor7ng and community groups improve their accessibility and inclusion. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
The Council is promo7ng the importance of taking posi7ve ac7on and has compiled a range of prac7cal resources to help. Among the resources, all available online, is a simple premises checklist that helps iden7fy barriers that may prevent people from using their service or group. Council’s community development and par7cipa7on manager Kim Bush said one in five people in Australia had some form of disability and there were many benefits to be gained via an inclusive community. “Many in our community face barriers to accessing services, ac7vi7es and facili7es that are available to the rest of the community and we’d like to see that change,” she said. “Disabili7es are as diverse as we are and some disabili7es are unseen, like Crohn’s disease, chronic pain or anxiety. We also have an increasingly diverse community where all teammates, colleagues and employees can provide value and different perspec7ves. It really highlights the importance of trea7ng everyone with courtesy and respect.” Ms Bush said the no7on of good access was no longer simply providing wheelchair friendly spaces – although this remained important. “You can’t quan7fy ‘good access’ as one size fits all. For people with vision impairment it might be using large print on menus. For non-verbal communicators it might be having visual op7ons, or for people with hearing difficul7es having a pen and paper handy,” she said. “Ul7mately it comes down to aVtudes and awareness – being willing to help and puVng the person and their needs first.” To view the list of resources visit www.esc.nsw.gov.au/inclusion

Fishers/boaters meet with Council engineers at Hanging Rock Boat Ramp Following local concerns from Andrew Turner (Batemans Bay Game Fishing Club) and a number of other clubs the Batemans Bay area a mee7ng was recently held with Eurobodalla Shire Council’s construc7on Vol 16in September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 engineers at Hanging Rock Boat Ramp, Batemans Bay. Max Castle, Vice President of the Recrea7onal Fishing Alliance of NSW told The Beagle "Hanging Rock is a popular regional boat ramp, especially in peak periods. The rock wall entrance is poorly lit and can be tricky especially in windy condi7ons as waves and swell can occur just outside the break wall; it is not recommended for small estuary boats with low freeboard. It is mainly used by larger trailer boats owned by locals and tourists. The laAer bring big dollars which support our local businesses." Max said "Five clubs and the Boa7ng Industry Associa7on arranged a mee7ng recently with Council to gain an understanding of what upgrading was proposed at Hanging Rock, as none of the five local fishing clubs had been consulted prior to or during the design phase. Charter boat operators have confirmed they also missed out on being consulted. Council staff were very generous with their 7me to discuss the project and agreed to explore the concerns raised with the objec7ve of making the ramp more effec7ve, func7onal and safer. Council were not aware of some of the issues raised and work may now have to be delayed over six months or so, due to funding constraints. Far too oKen projects are not being properly considered un7l construc7on has commenced. This is costly, 7me consuming and frustra7ng for all, and has been raised with Council on many occasions but con7nues to be the norm." The Vice President of the Recrea7onal Fishing Alliance of NSW said: "MP Andrew Constance announced funding last year for various boat ramp loca7ons. This was greatly appreciated by the local boa7ng community but the missing link has been in the loca7ons selected, the scope of the work, long delivery 7mes and very liAle communica7on with the main local stakeholders. Fishers and boat owners will certainly be pushing for these concerns to be addressed by a new Council. "The increase in use of trailer boats since COVID-19 has been significant, some tackle stores are run off their feet and new boat orders have an extended wai7ng 7me. Recrea7onal fishing con7nues to be one of Eurobodalla biggest economic drivers because of our extensive waterways. Having this recognized so stakeholders’ sugges7ons are taken on board has been a significant issue over many years. Max added "This was a 7mely on-site mee7ng, as trailer-boat fishers have been discussing a proposal to jointly iden7fy boa7ng and fishing issues within the Shire. The ini7al objec7ve will be a mee7ng to iden7fy collec7ve issues which will be discussed with the new incoming Council and to provide a single, larger community voice. Key issues iden7fied to date are boa7ng infrastructure, its provision, upgrading and maintenance."

Workshops to discuss future coastal management Eurobodalla Council is seeking nomina7ons from residents who want to par7cipate in workshops exploring how the community wants to see Eurobodalla’s coastline and beaches managed long-term. The Council is preparing Vol 16 September 15th 2017 a Coastal Management Program to outline strategies for areas that are or expected 28 December 7th, 2017 hazards such as erosion and inunda7on. Vol 48 April 27th 2018 to be affected by coastal The program will outline how Eurobodalla’s beaches, headlands and shorelines will be protected from coastal hazards long-term and where areas could use beAer access or protec7on. The project has experienced stop-start progress over the years, reflec7ng changes to NSW coastal management policies. Council is now progressing the plan, with the help specialist consultant Rhelm, and a series of workshops will be held in August for community members to have input. Council will write to local community associa7ons and invite representa7ves to par7cipate in the workshops, however Council is also seeking representa7on from areas without community associa7ons, as well as from youth. Eurobodalla Council’s coastal planner Cameron Whi7ng said the Coastal Management Program would cover the shire’s more than 140km of open coastline, from South Durras to Wallaga Lake. He said the workshops would consider things like future access, amenity and asset protec7on. “We want to know how communi7es want to see their coastline protected, enhanced, or just leK the way it is,” he said. “This input will be considered alongside technical inves7ga7ons to develop strategies to adapt our communi7es to coastal hazards. “Eurobodalla's beaches are at the centre of our environment, economy and social fabric and we’re keen to hear from representa7ves up and down the coast.” Those wishing to take part can register their interest before Friday 25 July by visi7ng www.esc.nsw.gov.au/ cmp and entering their name and email address in the ‘sign up for updates’ sec7on. Due to COVID-19 restric7ons, the workshops may be limited in size or may be held online, depending on advice from the NSW State Government.

Recission mo3on raised against sale of Dalmeny land Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
Clr Anthony Mayne has advised that he has now raised a rescission mo7on at Council so they "can have another look at this significant deal". "I voted against the sale of this land at Tuesday's mee7ng. You don’t basically double the township of Dalmeny without having a fair dinkum chat with your community," Anthony told The Beagle. "A decision made 30 years ago will now be imposed on our community who, if Broulee is any guide, will have to accept an urban design that will see significant land clearing." "Why it was pushed through at one of the last mee7ngs of this current council remains a mystery. "A rescission mo7ons needs three votes. Three councillors voted against the sale of the land being Clr Mayne, the Mayor, Liz Innes and Clr Pat McGinlay. It is understood that three separate valua7ons have been carried out of the land for sale. With the considerable constraints of steep country, heavy 7mber, riparian corridors and wetlands it is understood that the land might only yield 200 houses from the 414,000 m2. Based on the recent sale price of an adjacent parcel of land to developers it is es7mated that Council might be expec7ng $2 million for the proposed sale.

Bega Council launches Nourish & Flourish Vol 16 September 15th 2017 ini3a3ve 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Diver7ng food from landfill and geVng it to those who truly need it is the focus of a new Bega Valley Shire Council ini7a7ve. The ini7a7ve, called Nourish and Flourish, will create stronger links between food businesses and community pantries. Nourish and Flourish kicks off on Sunday 18 Above: Ma! Crossley from Wild Rye’s in Pambula, which July with a television, radio and social media donates excess food from its bakery to people in need. campaign featuring Wild Rye’s, Eden IGA, Pambula Fruit Market, Coles, Woolworths, Club Sapphire and Farm on the Green. These are among a growing number of Bega Valley businesses reducing food waste by dona7ng their unsold and surplus food to the community. Local Woolworths manager, Hamish Payne said they were proud to partner with OzHarvest and local businesses to distribute food to community pantries. “A lot of 7me, planning and effort goes into making sure we’ve got the right quan77es of the right products at the right 7mes for all of our customers here in the store,” Mr Payne said. “Some7mes, we don’t quite get that right and there’s a liAle bit too much stock. “It’s fantas7c to be part of Council’s Nourish and Flourish program and get this food to the people who really need it. The added benefit is that we’re also able to minimise the amount of food that gets wasted.” MaA Crossley from Wild Rye’s in Pambula said for the past decade they have been dona7ng food to the community. “We do everything we can to keep good food out of landfill. Each week we donate food that might not be cosme7cally beau7ful, or is excess to what our customers need, to community pantries and other local chari7es,” Mr Crossley said. “It’s so easy to do. It’s such a great feeling when the truck leaves to distribute this food to a good cause, rather than have it go into a rubbish truck and to landfill.” Bega Valley Shire Council Project Officer, Sarah Eastman said Nourish and Flourish supported community pantries in Eden, Merimbula and Bega. “This project addresses three separate issues—what to do with surplus food, connec7ng the people who need it with more affordable food, and a landfill site which is filling up too fast,” Ms Eastman said. “We are excited to showcase the community champions who are already doing great work in this area. We are so proud of the way our shire looks aKer people in need while working hard to reduce what goes into landfill. “This is already evident through other Council programs such as FOGO for Business, and we’re rapt to take that even further with Nourish and Flourish by capturing food while it’s s7ll good to eat and distribu7ng it to people in need. “We’re also keen to work with producers, farmers and dairy goods manufacturers. People can even get involved at home; next 7me you’re doing a pantry cleanout or if your veggie patch gives too much for you and your neighbours to eat, please get in touch.” Par7cipa7on in Nourish and Flourish is free and involves a simple sign up on Council’s website at www.begavalley.nsw.gov.au/nourishandflourish. Council is encouraging any business with surplus food to be part of the ini7a7ve, including supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, grocers, cafes and restaurants. Nourish and Flourish is a NSW Environment Protec7on Authority (EPA), Waste Less Recycle More ini7a7ve funded from the waste levy. beagle weekly : Vol 216 July 16th 2021

Paper Cer3ficates of Title on Their Way Out Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
Realestatebusiness.com.au reported this week that paper-based Cer7ficates of Title (that have existed for over 150 years) are on their way out, to be replaced by a fully electronic system. This change was made legally possible by the new legisla7on in the Real Property Amendment (Cer7ficates of Title) Act which had an amendment to abolish cer7ficates of 7tle.
The aboli7on date for paper cer7ficates of 7tle is the 11th October 2021 which will allow the government to shut down the last remaining paper lodgement mechanisms so that all transac7ons will be done via eConveyancing. The NSW government reports that eConveyancing already accounts for nearly 95% of all conveyancing transac7ons being seAled and lodged.
The ini7a7ve is a result of 5 years of work between government and various industry groups including the Law Society of NSW, the Australian Ins7tute of Conveyancers NSW, the Australian Banking Associa7on and representa7ves from Australian banks, NSW Land Registry Services, PEXA and Sympli. Maintaining the old (150 years old) paper-based system has been seen as an administra7ve burden with around four and a half thousand applica7ons for a replacement of a cer7ficate of 7tle are received by the government each year, at a cost of approximately $150 each.
The Registrar General, Jeremy Cox said “NSW is re7ring redundant paper processes that have existed for over 150 years and embracing a digital future which is faster, more efficient and more accurate.”
The ar7cle in Realestatebusiness.com.au has already generated a few comments with several people expressing concern about security and hackers, but let’s focus on the posi7ves for the 7me being

Excitement should be electric for the motorbikes of tomorrow (or Vol 16 September 15th 2017 today) 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 By Bruce Rhind, Tasmania, for Southcoast Health and Sustainability Alliance (SHASA) You may never have seen or heard of electric motorcycles in Australia or overseas. It’s true that big Japanese companies like Honda don’t sell them. But search the Internet, and you’ll discover the diverse world of electric motorcycles of all types and sizes. The industry has already taken off in Asia. There are over 100 companies around the world producing cheap motorbikes and scooters; for example, India sells eight 7mes more of these than cars. China is the big success story, legisla7ng to remove pollu7ng two-stroke motorbikes from their ci7es in April 2019. The second largest motorbike company is now Yadea in China, a name we haven’t heard of. Just twenty years old, they sold about 5 million electric scooters in 2020. China now has about 90% of the world’s electric motorbikes and scooters: an astounding 30 million of them. In the west, there are dozens of emerging electric motorcycle companies. Harley Davidson, the first of the big motorcycle companies to go electric, aimed for the top rung with their $40,000 'LiveWire' road bike. It weighs 210kg and has a 15kWh baAery (half the weight) powering a 78kW motor. It can do 235 kph, but at sensible speeds has a range of about 200km. The most successful USA electric motorbike company is Zero, producing about 4,000 bikes annually, though not available in Australia at the moment. One of these new companies, V-Moto, has its head office in Perth. It is a joint enterprise with Western engineering and Chinese manufacture, with several different models. For example, their CUx scooter costs about $5000. It has a 2.8kW motor, 1.3kWh baAery (10.5kg), and a range of about 75km at 45kph. The surprise category has been children’s electric motorbikes. They have obvious advantages: super cheap, small, safe (no fuel or exhaust pipe), low range, with no registra7on. They have evolved from toys into dirt bikes with up to two hours riding on one charge. Over a dozen companies make electric off-road dirt bikes for children, youths and adults. I live in Tassie, and bought a Light Bee dirt bike, imported by Sur Ron Australia aKer passing Australian design rules, and registered for road riding, for $6000. It is very light at 58kg, with a 2kWh baAery powering a 2kW motor. It has an off road endurance of about two hours and a range of about 80km, down to 50km on road. It’s good on both gravel and bitumen. Its advantages? It doesn’t have gears, or a clutch, or fuel. It’s easy to recharge, just over two hours from an ordinary 240V house socket, because the baAery is 7ny compared to a Tesla (100kWh!) Being light, motorcycles are more energy efficient: my motorbike gets about 25km per kWh compared to 6km per kWh for a typical electric car. Hopefully, we will be seeing a lot more electric motorcycles on our streets. beagle weekly : Vol 216 July 16th 2021

Yumaro Welcomes Occupa3onal Therapy Work Placement Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Students by Kylie Bran7ngham Yumaro is delighted to welcome Josephine and Elena, two Occupa7onal Therapy Students on placement from the University of Canberra (UC). They have been helping at Yumaro to provide capacity building services within our employment supports, housing and learning programs for the last month now and will be con7nuing for another few weeks. Occupa7onal therapy enables people to par7cipate in ac7vi7es that they find meaningful. These ac7vi7es include taking care of oneself (and others), working, volunteering, and par7cipa7ng in hobbies, interests and social events. Occupa7onal Therapists can support people whose health or disability makes it hard for them to do the things they would like to do, need to do or are expected to do. An occupa7onal therapist can iden7fy their strengths and difficul7es, help with solu7ons, and help them to take part in everyday life. Josephine and Elena are extremely passionate about the idea of being Occupa7onal Therapy prac77oners once they have graduated from UC. They have seen the need and demand for OTs in Australia and want to help people living with a disability to become more independent in their daily lives. Josephine is in her second year of the master's program at UC and will graduate mid-next year. “I am a country kid and I’m enjoying the fresh air and beau7ful scenery at Moruya. I hope to work rurally when I graduate,” says Josephine who is also a rural scholarship recipient. The NSW Rural Allied Health Undergraduate/ Entry-level Scholarship is offered to students from rural backgrounds studying to become allied health professionals. They are valued at up to $10,000 and recipients are encouraged to seek employment in rural areas once they graduate. Elena is in her second year of her Bachelor’s degree of Occupa7onal Therapy and is very excited about taking this next step in her career. “There is something profound about what we do! As Occupa7onal Therapy students, we are working towards understanding what influences our everyday ac7vi7es and how we can make them beAer! “For these reasons, we are so impressed with the work that is being done by Yumaro to create these opportuni7es for a life filled with meaning and purpose! We are always so excited when we walk into the workshop and see so many lives impacted by the power of doing. “We would like to give special thanks to the staff who have welcomed us with such kindness and encouragement for our learning.” CEO Mark Bran7ngham said, “Yumaro gives people with a disability greater independence in their life. Josephine and Elena have been a wonderful asset to our team - their skills have helped our par7cipants to grow in their work, live more independently and importantly get a bit more fun out the everyday!” Josephine and Elena are doing a wonderful job and it's been such a pleasure to see their posi7ve interac7ons with all the staff, par7cipants and volunteers. Everyone at Yumaro enjoys their company and especially their beau7ful smiles which they bring to work every day. beagle weekly : Vol 216 July 16th 2021

8 Years Too Long – Don’t look away. Locals ask Fiona Phillips MP to not look away Fiona Phillips MP will be presented with a giant leAer by Refugee Ac7on Collec7ve Eurobodalla as Monday 19th of July marks the 8th year anniversary of offshore deten7on. Vol 16 September 15th 2017
The 28 group December of advocates 7th, 2017 and Eurobodalla residents will be calling for their local Gilmore member to not look Vol 48 April 27th 2018 away from the harms caused by indefinite deten7on - but to work to end what has been widely condemned as a failed and costly system with refugees leK in limbo. Members of Refugee Ac7on Collec7ve Eurobodalla will join with other Australians across the country on this eight year anniversary, calling for the release and reseAlement of refugees caught up in a highly arbitrary and harmful system. July 19 marks the date that PM Kevin Rudd announced that “As of today, asylum seekers who come here by boat without a visa will never be seAled in Australia”. Thousands of men, women and children have been held in offshore deten7on on either Nauru or Papua New Guinea since July 19, 2013. “We cannot as Australians con7nue to look away from these people who legally sought our protec7on 8 years ago, and who are s7ll suffering worsening physical and mental harms whether leK offshore, or s7ll held in deten7on in our ci7es, or leK without visas and hope in the Australian community.” says Magella Blinksell, Refugee Ac7on Collec7ve Eurobodalla’s spokesperson Around 100 of the 1,161 refugees who were medically evacuated to Australia under the Medevac Legisla7on are s7ll locked up in deten7on. There are over 100 people ‘leK behind’ on Nauru while approximately 130 people remain stranded by the Australian Government on PNG, despite UNHCR strongly condemning the determina7on process used to assess their refugee status, and as Covid-19 infec7ons escalate in PNG. Fiona Phillips as Gilmore’s local MP is asked in the leAer to stand up for a fair and decent go for these refugees, with calls for the closure of the Government’s costly and beleaguered and offshore processing opera7ons, and to allow those refugees held in limbo offshore the right to seAle in Australia or to be allowed to go to New Zealand. New Zealand has offered to reseAle them. “This is not the 7me to look away. It’s 7me for the safe, 7mely and cost-effec7ve refugee processing and seAlement of these people, and all the kids and families who have been caught up in this cruel and damaging policy for too long. “ “It’s now 7me for ‘Game over’ and a home, and to allow the next chapter of belonging and healing to open up in these peoples’ lives.” Ms Blinksell said.

Reading - le=er to the editor The Beagle Editor, I'm currently in strict lockdown in Sydney, my husband & I are very disappointed, we couldn't come to Narooma ,where we bought a house last July, which we'll be moving into in January. Vol 16 September 15th 2017
28 April December 7th, I've staying on2017 the south coast since I was born, & introduced my husband to Bermagui & Narooma 22 Vol been 48 27th 2018 years ago. We can't wait to become full 7me residents. I decided to read your ar7cles again, concerning the decima7on of the Broulee forest, & the soon to be Dalmeny destruc7on too.
The community spirit is so strong & the stories you write are so powerful, thankyou for keeping everyone so informed. But I'm also heartbroken, since reading your ar7cles about the betrayal of the Eurobodalla Council to its people, animals & bush. I've watched the video which was recorded on June 27th, twice, of the decimated Broulee forest, with the passionate residents, speaking up for their peaceful part of the world, with counsellor Anthony Mayne, the only counsellor who cared enough to join the residents. I have so much admira7on for them all, including you The Beagle, joining together to try & stop this virus ( not covid 19) spreading to other regions, called " The Eurobodalla Council." The word "corrupt" was a very strong descrip7ve word for the Eurobodalla council, again credit to you for saying it out loud. It obviously resonates within the community, & the people have had enough. It's as though this council has no thought whatsoever for the land & it's creatures which have been there since the beginning of 7me. Dalmeny is set to be the next paradise to be destroyed, so I pray the promise to listen to the community is kept this 7me, & the people have their say with how best the flora & fauna can be preserved so it has the best chance for survival this 7me. I would like to quote from this month's NRMA's 100th edi7on of "Open Road" magazine, page 40: "Forest degrada7on was a major concern, back in the 1960's, with animal, plant & bird life in decline". It too was referring to development without caring about the environment. And this: " Nothing marks the ill bred person more, then the senseless pulling up of beau7ful plants". This reminded me somewhat of how the Eurobodalla council is trea7ng our south coast gems. Wouldn't it be a triumph, if the bush & all its wildlife could speak for themselves, so they had a chance to save their habitat, & vote in the up & coming August elec7on? Sadly, they have no voice so they have no choice, but I can see that the dedicated & passionate community voices will, & I applaud you loudly. Shame on the Eurobodalla Counsellors who couldn't care less why their spectacular south coast has one of the best reputa7ons as one of the best places to live in Australia, over the years & recently. You are so heartless not to put your natural paradise first. Why don't you step out of your offices & go to where you first fell in love with your special part of Australia. Then, see if you can jus7fy what you are doing. Yours sincerely Gail Browning.

Be careful of rash promises during elec3oneering The Beagle Editor The of elec7ons for nine Councillors and a mayor for the Eurobodalla Shire is Vol 16start September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 only a few weeks away now.
There’s been much public comment about how poorly our council, the elected Councillors, have performed in their posi7ons as the people's elected representa7ves since they were elected in September 2016, almost five years ago . But now the opportunity has arrived for the shires voters to make changes at the Ballot Box to correct some of poor performances of the elected and their excep7onally arrogant aVtudes towards those who employ them. That’s right, the Councillors and Mayor are employed by the shires residents and ratepayers to represent them on all issues or maAers brought to their aAen7on by residents of the shire. That’s what they are elected to do, with out running a secret opera7on. But now with the elec7ons only weeks away there’s names and faces appearing publicly backed up with promises and statements aAemp7ng to catch the aAen7on of the shires vo7ng public. Most of what they are promo7ng is fanciful stuff, low on the list of most peoples expecta7ons. But those who are promo7ng the low priority aAen7on stuff are desperate individuals just want to be elected or re elected for the publicly funded lifestyle. NSW Local Council’s are controlled by the state governments delegated authority to the local administra7ons. The state government determines the criteria about how Local Councils can operate, not the locally elected public representa7ves as some seem to think. Just a few weeks or days ago the present council resolved to proceed with a budget, management and delivery plan for the 2021–22 financial years. A new council will deliver the maAers iden7fied in that budget process. A new council aKer September this year will operate under the financial umbrella of the present council. Any candidates who make statements or promises about what they’ll do if they are elected in September need to be ques7oned about how they’ll deliver on any promises not already provided for in the present management and delivery plan.

Councillors vote 6-3 to sell Dalmeny land without knowing the valua3on Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
To the Beagle Editor
From the outset I need to state that no illegality is stated or implied in the following narra7ve. Also I have been careful in ensuring that no commercial-in-confidence material is revealed. I have also been careful to not assume any mo7va7on for decisions or ac7ons, by anyone other than myself in my role as a Councillor for Eurobodalla Shire Council. On Tuesday, 13 July 2021, by a majority of 6 to 3, Eurobodalla Shire Councillors agreed to endorse the selling of over 400,000 m2 of na7ve forest land at DALMENY on the open market to developers for urban development. I have a number of material concerns about this issue and voted against the sale. One of my other concerns is around the process: In par7cular, that a number of Councillors who voted to sell the land may have done so, without knowledge of the valua7on for the said land. This concern arises because, when the Staff-recommended sale of this land was explained at a briefing to Councillors on Tuesday 15 June, I requested that we Councillors be advised of the es7mated value of the land as outlined in the professionally commissioned valua7on report for the land. That request was denied by the General Manager. At the Council mee7ng on the following Tuesday 22 June, I was successful in puVng forward a mo7on that meant that the decision to sell the land was deferred for three weeks. On Tuesday, 6 July, I put in wri7ng a further request to the General Manager, (and cc'd all Councillors) to again seek access to the valua7on of the land that Councillors were being asked to endorse selling off, the following week. On Wednesday aKernoon on 7 July, permission was granted by the GM for any Councillor who wished to access the (to my mind cri7cal) informa7on to aAend in person at council offices to view the valua7on report. I did so the following day, where I sat in the GMs office, with her in aAendance to peruse the documenta7on. I do not know if any other Councillors also did so. It perturbs me that some Councillors may have acquiesced to a staff recommenda7on to sell off a large chunk of na7ve forest land without knowledge of its professionally appraised value. Indeed without my requests, I believe that informa7on would s7ll not be available to them. I do not intend to nominate for the upcoming council elec7ons, and my points raised above reflect only my own concerns about good governance in local government. Councillor Pat McGinlay Eurobodalla Shire Council

POLICE COURT. – At the Police Court on Wednesday before Mr. Shropshire, P.M. for obscene language S. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Honan was27th fined £52017 and 8/- costs, and for driving on the footpath M. Deane was fined £2 and 8/- costs. 28 April December 7th, Vol 48 2018 A “NASTY” ONE. – The poor birds get liAle of their own back at last in the recent pronouncement of the Wildlife Preserva7on Society: “Don’t get the idea that birds were designed for our adornment. That is a 7meworn tale arising out of female selfishness and vanity. Anyway, from the beauty standpoint, the feathers suit the birds beAer than they do human beings.” PTOMAINE POISON. - His many friends will regret to hear that Mr. Jack Wilson, commercial traveller, was suddenly ill on Sunday, just aKer arrival in Moruya. Medical aid was sought, and the pa7ent was found to be suffering with ptomaine poisoning. On his journey to Moruya Mr. Wilson several 7mes partook of some roast fowl which he had in a hamper, and to this tasty bit of food, which, when exposed to the air, may have been aAacked by a germ, the doctor aAributed the cause of illness. The pa7ent is now progressing favorably. MR. Thos. Templeman, an old resident of the Clyde River, died on Tuesday. THE incident at Moruya v Bodalla football match where the referee was struck at and abused was ven7lated at the Moruya Police Court on Wednesday when George Watson, one of the footballers, was fined £2 and 50s costs. RING up No. 34 if you want Mr. H. P. Jeffery, Secretary A. & P. Society, Moruya Co-op Cheese Co., P. P.

Deceased had been in a low state of health for many months and his end was hourly expected. RIFLE MATCH. – The fourth contest between Bergalia and Central Tilba riflemen for the Millen Challenge Shield was held o the Bergalia range on Saturday last, resul7ng in a win for Bergalia by five points. Central Tilba won the shield at Bergalia in the introductory shoot in 1915. Bergalia journeyed to Central Tilba twice to compete for it, losing the first 7me by a few points and Vulcan Street Moruya making a 7e in the second aAempt. Rules governing 7es in the compe77on says: All 7es must be shot off on a neutral range, and as there are no neutral ranges in the compe77on now, it was decided to have the shoot-off on the Bergalia range. A. W. Greig was top scorer for the day with a total of 67 out of a possible 70. R. Greig and H. Trapp 7ed for second place with 65 each. Captain Eare was responsible for a complete set of bulls at 500 yards, and at the same 7me establishing a lead of six points. On the comple7on of the 500 yards Bergalia led by four points. Great excitement prevailed when the last two shooters were down on the 600 yard mound. Bergalia was leading by four; on the fiKh shot Central Tilba had reduced the deficit to a point. Two poor shots by the opponents saved the situa7on, giving Bergalia a narrow win. Lunch and aKernoon tea was served by the ladies, which met with the approval of the visi7ng team, who enjoyed themselves immensely. Mr. Bate spoke of the beau7ful ground, and said it was an ideal spot for a range, second to none on the coast, to say nothing of the place as a picnic ground. The shield now has a res7ng place in Mr. W. S. Nelson’s store window.

Reading—A beer with Baz Bazza looked up, straightened his back and widened his eyes, like every other patron in the front bar. Mick, with mobile phone strapped over his face mask, made his way to the bar Voltable 16 September 15th 2017 with two full schooners. 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
‘There you go Bazza.’ He then adjusted his smart watch and in a perfect Gough Whitlam voice impersona7on repeated “There you….. go…. Bazza.’ Mick removed his mask/phone whilst Bazza shook his head. They both enjoyed a long sip of beer. ‘You’re looking at the future, Bazza. I’ve combined a face mask with a smart phone and am calling it a SMARTASK. It allows you to tap in without juggling your phone. It’s s7ll in the development stage but I reckon I’m onto a winner. I actually tried to give Gladys a call but she is a bit busy at the moment.’ Bazza responded ‘You beAer make sure it’s not a silent ‘k’ in your marke7ng, but good luck with that, Mick. Apart from the inconvenience of wearing the bloody things, I find it hard to communicate when you cannot read people’s faces. I couldn’t separate the spin from the truth the other night when I was watching your mate Sco Mo with a face mask, explaining why we need an army general to rollout the COVID vaccina7ons. I was a bit disappointed he did not call it Opera7on ‘something’.’ ‘Now Bazza, the SMARTASK will solve all your problems and there will be no need to remove it from your face. Not only will it get you into any venue in NSW, It will have facial recogni7on that will log into the interests, likes, dislikes and opinions of anyone you meet. You can then start up a chat with anyone you like with immediate empathy. All very handy for my campaign for Mayor at the upcoming council elec7ons.’ Bazza rubbed his chin for some 7me and took a long sip of his beer. ‘Let me get this straight, Mick. Sco Mo could put the SMARTASK on and drop into this pub and start up a yarn with me about the things I’m interested in?’ Mick took a short sip of his beer. ‘You’re catching on, Bazza. In fact, under the premium model he can conduct the conversa7on in a voice that the research shows you like, by adjus7ng his smart watch.’ A smile stretched across Bazza’s face. ‘Sounds great, Mick. Sco Mo could drop in, tap on the QR code, use Gough Whitlam’s voice to have a yarn and empathise with me about the shortcomings of our current Prime Minister, and all without removing the SMARTASK.’ ‘Yeah well, I take your warning about the silent ‘k’, Bazza.’ ‘As good as it sounds Mick, I s7ll reckon if Ned Kelly dropped in, he would say “You call that a mask?’ Have a beer with Baz at john.longhurst59@gmail.com

Event Nigel Bland is confident that when the 28Manager, December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 current NSW lockdowns are liKed the team from North Shore Spor7ng Car Club (NSSCC) will be ready to run the event. “We’ve been really lucky to have a number of volunteers based in Batemans Bay come on board to help us get things ready. Whilst we can’t get down to Photo Credit: Bruce Moxon the Bay ourselves, our volunteers have been geVng out into the forests preparing for the rally”, Bland said. “The current COVID situa7on is very fluid, and we really don’t know what restric7ons will be in place by the end of August, so we are moving forward with the event as planned. Should things change, we’ll make that decision closer to the event”, added Bland. The proposed date of the 28th of August was originally slated for a Rallysprint run by Shoalhaven and Kiama Districts Auto Club (SKDAC) and was offered to NSSCC. “We really appreciate SKDAC giving up their Rallysprint date so we could re-schedule our event. In fact, we didn’t even have to ask them. They offered it up to us when it looked like the restric7ons would impact the event. We really want to thank SKDAC and par7cularly SKDAC President Peter Ewing for the club’s generosity” Bland concluded.

Broulee Runner’s July 14th 2021 We were back together with masks before and aKer the run and social distancing. 12 runners and one dog contested the 3 distances. We welcomed two new members of the Atkin family with dad Mike joining daughter Mia. His other daughter, Keira has had 4 previous runs and was only 1 second over her impressive personal beat 7me of 8.11 for the 2 kilometres. David McCann celebrated his 300th run this evening on Bas7lle Day. However, we were unable to organise the parade, fireworks, and fly past. This achievement is especially pleasing for the runners as David regularly helps with the 7ming and recording of the event. His first run was on 31 August 2011. During this 7me, he has contested all three distances. He has joined a select group of 7 other to pass 300 runs. He men7oned that he will re7re when he reaches 1000 runs.

The latest fishing report from the team at Tackle World VolMoruya 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Moruya River. The ac7on this last week hasn’t been too bad. There have been good sized trevally and a few salmon working their way up the river, being par7cularly ac7ve at the top of the 7de. Preddy’s wharf and the Quarry wharf, which can s7ll be accessed from the Moruya side, have seen these fun fish. The deeper holes around Preddy’s wharf have also seen the odd flathead and bream poking around. Further upstream the flats under the town bridge have seen a few Estuary Perch and the holes around the hospital, have seen a few Flathead, Bream and Trevally. Mullet fillet, beach worms, or live nippers have been the best baits, with small soK plas7cs also working well. This 7me of the year, you can expect to find the odd Bass holed up around the bridge on Araluen road just out of town, as they do their winter breeding. Just remember that this 7me of the year there is a no keep limit on all Bass and Estuary Perch while they are in their breeding cycle. Tuross River. The ac7on in Tuross has been spread out, with the lower sec7ons seeing a few Flathead, Bream and Salmon, whilst the middle to upper sec7ons have seen a few Bream in the snags and around the oyster racks. There a few deep holes that this 7me of the year will see a few mulloway hide in. Live poddy mullet or fresh squid strips are a gun bait for these silver ghosts. Rock and Beach. With the swells last weekend, there wasn’t a lot of beach or rock ac7on happening. This week, however with the swells dropping, has seen the salmon and drummer showing up. There have also been a few reports from around the Tuross area of a few winter whi7ng in the close surf guAers. Beach worms are the best op7on when looking for these fine table fish. We do have frozen beach worms back in stock again, so if you have trouble catching your own, we can help there. Offshore. The Yellow Fin Tuna con7nue to keep the game crews heading this last week, with fish to 70 kgs being reported. There have been the usual Snapper and Flathead also coming over the side as well. Start looking in the magic 30-40m mark and poten7ally in as shallow as 5-10m for the Snapper and Flathead. Stay safe everyone, and please remember to follow all of the public health direc7ves.
