editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, One of my favourite books many years ago was Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood that has a narrator revealing the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants of the fic:onal small Welsh fishing village, Llareggub. Yes, that is Buggerall backwards.

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

In the style of Thomas I might venture into a story of a fic:onal town called Buggerall that, for a need to locate somewhere, might be in regional NSW. The story opens with a homecoming. A lad has been away for some :me and, now free to travel, returns to his hometown. Alas he comes from a place of pes:lence and knows that he might carry it with him but the thought of seeing his dear family and friends once again outweighs his sense of responsibility.

So the young man arrives by train and withing hours he is about the village of Buggerall shaking hands, kissing children and hugging neighbours. A very cheery return and one worthy of a grand party.

Unknowingly each of his hugs, each kiss, each handshake, has been accompanied by the pox that he now carries. But it is a silent pox. No-one will know of the fate that awaits for days to come.

The village busies itself. Some go to the store to shop for food and drink. What a :me they had. Alas the young man needs to return to the city. He bids a hasty farewell, leaving a few tears, some fond goodbyes and his silent legacy. Within days the first signs of the giBed pox begin to show. A cough here, a sneeze there.

Everyone knows the rules of the village. If you have a pox you must lock yourself in your home and remain there un:l well. To ensure everyone knows that you are poxed your front door is marked with a yellow cross.

The requirement is immediate and anyone must comply.

But wait…. What if you say it is just a sneeze… pollen on the wind, a stray hair from a dog. There is no need for the village doctor to prod and inspect. It will pass. And you will remain free to move about without the shackles to drive you indoors for a fortnight or more.

But your neighbours begin to suspect. They hear your hacking cough. They know you are unwell. They also know now of the man with his giB of the pox who came, and then went.

“They have the pox” is the cry. “Test them !!” “Push probes up their noses!” “Paint their doors with Yellow Crosses”.

But the cries were wasted on the village burghers who reminded the people that there can be no forced prodding and probing. The good burghers reminded the villagers that everything should be based on trust and truth and, if those accused chose to, they could lie, and so be it. There was nought to do.

Sadly, one by one, the villagers became infected. More and more homes were locked down and with each passing day another store closed as people came forward to declare themselves poxed and inform the burghers of where they had been and who they had seen.

But those who chose to keep their pox a secret s:ll wandered the streets knowing that they could not be touched by the burghers because of the rules that protected their freedom. They mocked the law, and in doing so mocked the community who were doing their best to remain safe and pox free.

And what of the village of Buggerall today? The poxed s:ll wander freely and those who are unpoxed have locked themselves behind doors, on the direc:on of the burghurs, wondering what might come next. un:l next - lei beagle weekly : Vol 226 September 24th 2021

Tomakin park vandalism ‘devasta-ng’ Eurobodalla Council says the vandalised basketball pole at Tomakin’s Jack Buckley Park will be replaced, but not Vol 16 September 15th 2017 immediately.

Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018

An angle grinder or similar power tool was used to cut the steel pole near its base some :me on Monday, damaging a hoop replaced only a few weeks ago in the process. The damage was reported to Council on Monday aBernoon and inspected soon aBer. The remaining pole was removed on Tuesday to make the area safe, and the ring and backboard are in storage for now.

Council staff have been in contact with the Tomakin Community Associa:on about the maMer since Monday.

Director of community, arts and recrea:on Kathy Arthur said the vandalism is par:cularly heartbreaking given the years of collabora:on between Tomakin residents and Council to redesign the park.

“We had several hundred community members comple:ng surveys and aMending site mee:ngs to talk through playground ideas and other features, and the work has only just been finished, so this wilful vandalism is preMy devasta:ng for everyone,” she said.

Upwards of $150,000 had been spent on the upgrades, with Council adding new playground equipment and an obstacle course, shade sails and a loop track linking the play area with new covered picnic tables, the barbeques, and toilets.

“Recrea:on projects and budgets are already set for the remainder of this financial year,” Ms Arthur said.

“However, we will plan to replace the basketball equipment in 2022-23, unless savings can be iden:fied earlier from our recrea:on projects in other neighbourhoods.

Concerns remain that Eurobodalla Hospital will Vol 16 September 15th 2017 fall 28well December 7th, 2017of Level 4 as Vol 48 April 27thshort 2018 promised More than 90 community members across two days tuned in to aMend online informa:on webinar sessions to learn more about the Eurobodalla Health Service and its $200 million planned upgrade project for a new hospital in Moruya.

Ms BenneM said interim works were now underway at Moruya Hospital to ensure the hospital con:nued to meet demand for health services during the planning and construc:on of the new hospital. Further informa:on sessions will be held later in the year to keep the community informed.

“We will con:nue to strengthen and expand models of care in prepara:on for a smooth transi:on to the new hospital facility.

38 Days to step up: Will Australia help on climate or keep hindering?

IN A WEEK when Australia’s interna:onal counterparts have made significant new climate commitments, Australia is s:ll15th hindering Vol 16 September 2017 global efforts, says the Climate Council.

28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

“In the past week, the United States has pledged billions in new climate financing for developing na:ons, and China announced it will stop financing interna:onal coal power sta:ons. This sets the tone for what’s expected of all countries in the lead up to the next major UN climate talks in November,” said Will Steffen, Climate Council spokesperson and Emeritus Professor at Australian Na:onal University.

“The contrast with Australia’s poor efforts couldn’t be starker. Australia is refusing to increase its 2030 emissions reduc:on target, or commit to net zero emissions. It has launched a marke:ng campaign that claims credit for the renewable energy efforts of states and territories, and made a :ny funding commitment to hydrogen hubs, but that’s not going to cut it,” said Professor Steffen.

“The science is clear that the world urgently needs to reduce emissions this decade, but none of Australia’s commitments are a meaningful contribu:on to this goal,” said Professor Steffen. “The government s:ll hasn’t budged despite calls to do more coming from the public, global leaders, business leaders and members of its own party. We are now one of the only advanced economies that hasn’t yet taken these essen:al steps to reducing emissions,” he added.

China’s move to stop financing coal power sta:ons overseas follows similar moves by Japan and South Korea earlier this year. The announcement effec:vely ends interna:onal finance for coal, with significant implica:ons for the future demand of Australian coal exports. Dr Simon Bradshaw, Climate Council Research Director, said: “As one of the sunniest and windiest countries on earth, Australia could be a global renewable energy powerhouse. Every day of delay is a missed economic opportunity.

“Australia’s climate inac:on also creates na:onal security risks and weakens our standing with key allies such as the United States that have security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region which are being exacerbated by our do-nothing aLtude,” added Dr Bradshaw. “Climate change is on the agenda at this week’s high-level ‘Quad’ talks with the United States, Japan and China, and global leaders like US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson have made it abundantly clear that they expect countries like Australia to step up,” he said.

“The world is puLng us on no:ce; Australia can no longer get away with doing nothing on climate change.

We have just over a month to deliver a credible climate policy that will enable us to go to COP 26 with our heads held high rather than slink in shamefully as a climate laggard,” said Dr Bradshaw.

The Climate Council says the science demands that Australia reduce its emissions by 75% (below 2005 levels) by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2035. As a first step, Australia must at least match the updated commitments from our key allies, and pledge before Glasgow to at least halve our emissions (below 2005 levels) by 2030.

real estate South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1063:

Paper Cer-ficates of Title - A Thing of Vol 16 September 15th 2017 the Past 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 If you are like many people who actually want a physical piece of paper to prove that you own something (like your property for example), then come the 11th October you are going to be biMerly disappointed.

The Registrar General of NSW has declared that 11 October 2021 is the day on which all cer:ficates of :tle (CTs) will be abolished, known as ‘cessa:on day’. From cessa:on day all current CTs will have no legal effect and the Registrar General will no longer issue CTs for any reason. The good news is that the Torrens Title Register remains and has always been the single source of truth as to a person’s ownership or interest in land.

This means that from 11 October 2021 paper dealings will no longer be accepted for lodgement and only electronic dealings will be accepted. Electronic dealings can be lodged by a subscriber to an Electronic Lodgement Network Operator, such as PEXA and Sympli. Subscribers are typically lawyers, licensed conveyancers, banks and government departments.

There are three main changes from the current prac:ce for landowners: 1.

Those who pay off their mortgage will not receive a CT as was tradi:onally the case.

2.

A purchaser of property without the need for a mortgage (aka “cash-buyer”) will not receive a CT.

3.

When a plan of subdivision is registered, and new parcels of land created, CTs (or CoRD) will no longer be issued for those parcels.

In all instances an Informa:on No:ce will issue, which will confirm the dealings registered and date of registra:on. Landowners of unencumbered land (i.e. no mortgage) who have a CT don’t have to do anything before or aBer 11 October 2021. ABer this date the CT will no longer be a legal document. Those who own unencumbered land, but have someone else holding or storing their CT, may wish to request to have it back.

From 11 October 2021 there will no longer be a remedy under the Real Property Act 1900 to get a CT back from others, given it has no legal effect. I wonder how many will get them back and have them framed for posterity?

Your solicitor or conveyancer does the necessary searches to determine the legal owner(s) of a parcel of land so it can be correctly iden:fied on the Contract for Sale, however you are now likely to find real estate agents also asking to see proof of ownership by way of a rates no:ce or similar to ensure the agency agreement that you sign also has the correct owner(s) iden:fied.

October Gardening Guide by Richgro Spring is in full swing around the country. The football is finished cricket season hasn’t Vol 16 September 15thand 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 started – It is the perfect :me to get into the garden with these handy hints from Richgro and ambassador Charlie Albone.

Roses and Flowering Plants: Wisteria is growing a mile a minute. About 4-5 weeks aBer flowering is the ideal :me to start pruning off the vigorous new growth back to 56 buds from the older wood. This will encourage the plant to put its energy into next year’s flowering.

Check the watering system for your roses and flowers to ensure there are no leaks, and the plants are geLng the recommended amount of water. Applying Richgro Ezi-Wet will make sure the water is absorbed by the soil and geLng to the roots of the plants. If the water is pooling around your garden bed or running down the side of pots, this is a good indica:on that it is :me to apply a soil weMer. Then don’t forget to Mulch or top up your exis:ng mulch so your garden beds remain well hydrated as the temperature warms up.

October is the perfect -me to plant summer colour.

It’s also rose season, with your pruned roses now star:ng to shoot with new life. Fer:lise and protect your roses now. Use Richgro Black Marvel Premium Rose food and add some Richgro Bug Killa to control aphids from damaging your new shoots. Roses may be suffering from Blackspot, so it would be good idea to spray them now with a good rose fungicide. Improving your rose garden soil with a good compost will help in making them more resistant to diseases and pests.

Control bugs with Bug Killa on gardenias, azaleas, camellias and lilly pilly.

Na-ves As a general guide, prune spring flowering shrubs such as Callistemon (BoMlebrush) aBer they have finished flowering. This includes pruning spring flowering varie:es.

Mulch or top up Mulch to protect plants against weather extremes and keep soils moist.

Add the recommended rate of Charlie Carp Liquid Fer:liser* to give them an added boost during this busy :me. *Charlie Carp concentrate recommends 45ml per 9L of water for na&ve plants.

Fruit Trees and Vegies Thin the fruit on the stone fruit trees, as this will ensure what fruit is leB is large and well formed. Make a decision on what treatment you are going to use for fruit fly as it will soon be :me to spray some of the early varie:es. Unfortunately, if you elect not to do anything and you know there is fruit fly around not one fruit beagle weekly : Vol 226 September 24th 2021

community on that tree will be free of larvae. Follow up planted Summer vegies, and apply Charlie Carp Liquid Fer:liser every 4 weeks during the flowering and frui:ng season or add a good organic fer:liser like Richgro Vegetable and Herb Mega Booster to see it through :ll November. Pests will start to aMack your lovely vegetables so make sure you use Richgro’s Beat-A-Bug Naturally Based Insect Spray. Apply at the first sign of aMack and Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 December 7th, 2017 then keep in27th a good rou:ne of spraying over the leaves (don’t forget underside) every 10-12 days during Vol 48 April 2018 October to repel them.

Lawn and Turf Maintenance If your lawn is spongy, ver:mow it to remove the thatch. The build up of organic maMer reduces the amount of water geLng to the root system. Buffalo lawns can be scalped at this :me of the year to reduce sponginess and organic maMer build up.

Lawns can now be cut weekly, encouraging new growth. At the very least it should be done fortnightly, but don’t leave it much later than that. Fer:lise now with Cresco Lawn Fer:liser or Richgro Extra Green Fer:liser.

You can plant new lawns now, ensuring you add a really good layer of Bentonite Sand to Soil if your soil is sandy or Gypsum if your soils are heavy clay based. Start by geLng the soil right and this will help give your new lawn the best chance to succeed.

On established lawns, it is best to get your soil right now before the warmer weather. Apply Richgro Ezi-Wet to encourage root growth and apply Richgro Lawn Beetle and Grub Killa to stop pests aMacking the lawn.

General Garden Maintenance Tips Weeds – Keep up with either digging them out or spraying (or both). Remember this year’s flowers are next year’s weeds.

Keep up with your pest control, using Richgro Bug Killa if applied in August or regular applica:ons of Richgro Beat-A-Bug Natural Insect Spray.

Don’t forget to apply some rich Blood and Bone fer:liser to give everything in your garden that great natural boost.

Good :me to clean out your pond. Replenish no more than 50% of your water, divide any water lilies and remove any muddy build up on the boMom. As it warms up, apply a weLng agent to ensure the water being applied is soaking into the soil. This includes your vegie gardens and pots.

Mulch garden beds to keep in moisture, and control weeds. Beds that aren’t mulched will dry out quickly.

Reading Gadfly 195 By Robert Macklin When we look back on the era that saw the great transforma:on of Australia to a na:on that embraced its Aboriginal past and engaged the wisdom of its First Na:ons, one whitefella Vol 16 September of modest 15thand 2017genteel manner will be found at the heart of it.

28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

Henry Reynolds is the very embodiment of the US President Teddy Roosevelt’s admoni:on, to ‘speak soBly and carry a big s:ck.’ In his case the s:ck is actually a switch of more than twenty finely wrought literary canes with which he wakened the Australian conscience. Their :tles range from 1972’s Aborigines and SeElers: The Australian Experience, to Truth-Telling – History, Sovereignty and the Uluru Statement from the Heart in 2021 In between, separately and together, his books chart the course of a revolu:on in Australian percep:on.

Like

all revolu:ons, nothing was won without a fight; and through the decades Reynolds was pounded by the remorseless opposi:on of a Prime Minister leading a raging conserva:ve cohort.

Born in Hobart in 1938, the son of a journalist and biographer, the young Henry went to state school and the University of Tasmania where in 1960 he gained his BA (hons) before pursuing a teaching career which took him eventually to the Townsville University College in 1965.

Asked to lecture on Australian history from a text book that barely men:oned the Aboriginal people, he began his own research. He was ‘shocked’, he says, ‘by the revela:on of the fron:er wars’ that plunged New South Wales and Queensland into a killing field that took the lives of some 20,000 Aboriginal lives. And that didn’t include the death toll from European diseases and starva:on when expelled from their tribal lands.

His 1982 book, The Other Side of the Fron&er detailed the horrors perpetrated by seMlers and police. It was also a ‘revela:on’ to a popula:on weaned on the heroic tales of the pioneers. It inspired other academics and writers to enter the fray and a Culture War erupted. Paul Kea:ng gave his celebrated Redfern Speech while John Howard labelled Reynolds and his supporters the ‘Black Armband’ group. Reynolds tagged his opponents ‘White Blindfold’ and the conflict raged for a decade before the progressives gradually gained ground.

He was also instrumental in the great victory of Aboriginal land rights through chats with his university’s groundsman and gardener, one Eddie Mabo who doted on his Murray Island land in the Torres Strait.

‘So intense was his aMachment to his land,’ Reynolds says, ‘that I began to worry whether he had ay idea about his legal circumstances. I said, “Don’t you realise that nobody actually owns land on Murray Island? It’s all crown land.”’

Eddie consulted lawyers and in 1992 a High Court judgement finally recognized Aboriginal land rights.

It is hard to overes:mate Reynolds’ influence in the great movement that followed, culmina:ng in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. If ever a writer and historian were deserving of a Nobel Prize, whether for Literature or Peace, that person is Henry Reynolds, now in the golden years of a life that has changed a na:on.

If Literature, he would adorn a cohort of historian laureates from Winston Churchill to Chris:an Mommsen, the recipient of only the second to be awarded in 1902, or for Peace such worthies as Shimon Perez or Jose Ramos Horta.

While the final goals of the Uluru Statement from the Heart have yet to be enacted, their achievement is within our grasp; and a great Australian helped immeasurably to place it there. robert@robertmacklin.com beagle weekly : Vol 226 September 24th 2021

100 Years Ago—24th September 1921 WORKING BEE. – About 40 members of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches assembled at the cemetery on Wednesday aBernoon and did excellent work in clearing and burning off scrub in their respec:ve Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 por:ons. The willing band of toilers were supplied with refreshment by the lady members.

GIFT AFTERNOON. – There was a happy liMle gathering at the Parish Hall on Tuesday aBernoon when Mrs. Preddy and Miss DuRoss received a lovely array of giBs for their Jumble Stall at the forthcoming C.E. Bazaar.

During the aBernoon recherche refreshments were partaken of, and a short :me spent in “Viewing the tray.” Mrs. J. Hansen correctly giving the names of all the ar:cles thereon, won the prize.

RUNAWAY. – Some excitement was cause on Tuesday aBernoon through a young draught horse aMached to a milk van, bol:ng. While the driver, Mr. W. J. Jeffery, was in the Commercial Bank, the horse pulled away from the post, and freeing itself from the winkers, bolted, but its mad career was stopped at the corner of Vulcan and Campbell Sts. by the capsizing of the vehicle. The horse escaped injury, but the axle and shaB of the van were broken.

BATEMANS BAY. – (From our Correspondent.) The Brass Band Ball was a great success. A well-filled hall was the response of the public to encourage the bandsmen and to show the Bandmaster Mr. J. LaMy and the Secretary Mr. A. Ryan that their efforts merit approba:on of the public. The door takings were about £10. A feature of the dance was the beau:fully ar:s:c wall decora:ons – the stage effect was delighYul. The arranged palm leaves and clema:s effec:vely covered up the bare walls and imparted to the Hall a charm to please the most aesthe:c. During the aBernoon the Factory played the rest of the town in a game of cricket. It was the first game of the season and it showed that there were some good old sloggers leB amongst us. We see from the GazeMe that Bateman’s Bay is now an urban area, and no doubt there will soon be a visit from an official to report on the condi:on of the latrines and sundry altera:ons such as cemen:ng floors, etc., insisted on. It is a pity that improvements mean expense, especially during such an epidemic of impecuniosity which now exists in the Bay. We are glad to see back in Mogo an old iden:ty, Mr. Arnie AnneMs, who had reopened in the storekeeping line.

ADVERTISMENT. – FOR SALE. THE SHAMROCK CAFE. On the advice of my Doctor I am reluctantly compelled to relinquish business, therefore my Up-to-date Tea Rooms, Confec:onary, Fruit and SoB Drinks Establishment, known as the SHAMROCK CAFE, which shows a quick and substan:al turnover, is for sale. The shop is well furnished and in a most central posi:on. For par:culars apply – T. Strahan, Vulcan Street, Moruya.

Missing Inac-on : Our Mayor Where is the Mayor?

We are in the middle of one of the most financially catastrophic :mes this shire has ever had and there is no sign of the mayor anywhere?

If we go back to the bushfires Mayor Liz Innes was preMy much absent there as well. When the community needed leadership there wasn't much at all coming from our illustrious council.

Bega on the other hand, thank god, had their Mayor front and centre keeping the community up to date on social media and on the radio but our mayor wasn't to be seen anywhere un:l the end of the first fires when she popped up singing along to Canberra Come Back and telling anyone who would listen to bring their Empty Esky.

Local businesses were already doing it tough before the fires but they pushed through with whatever money they could muster hoping to reopen. The government grants helped quite a few to keep their heads just above water but there were quite a few who sank and didn't make it.

To add to the pain came Covid. Once again business doors slammed shut. Locals were now on their uppers and the number of businesses that have now closed will only be realised once we open up again. But where is the mayor?

While there is liMle she can say about Covid cases in the region there is a lot she can say about a road to financial recovery once the Lock Downs are over. Instead the community have declared her "Missing Inac:on".

Her very no:ceable absence from her leadership role is becoming widely considered as an insult to ratepayers who are in need of leadership during this most difficult period. More and more oBen we are seeing Deputy Mayor Rob Pollock stepping in to fulfill the du:es of a Mayor such as chairing Public Forums beagle weekly : Vol 226 September 24th 2021

Reading - opinion and leBer to the editor and officia:ng ci:zenship presenta:ons.

Liz Innes announced to WIN TV that she was not going to stand in the September elec:ons. Since that announcement the only :me we see her is when there is a council mee:ng. She doesn't bother showing up for16 Public Access and Public Forum sessions to listen to ratepayers.

Vol September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

The Local Elec:ons are scheduled for December 4th, 2021. Hopefully by that date the vo:ng op:ons will be sorted out with electronic, postal and polling booth processes worked out. The Mayor has said she won't stand for re-elec:on in December 2021. But un:l then it appears we can expect the bare minimum from her while she con:nues to accept her mayoral fees, her mayoral car and her mayoral perks. All up valued at over $100,000 per year (or $1900 per week).

In terms of accomplishment there is liMle that the Mayor can lay claim to over the past five years. The injec:on of Government s:mulus into the shire via the Batemans Bay Bridge, the Nelligen Bridge and the Batemans Bay pool and theatre has brought $370 million to the township of Batemans Bay however much of that has leB the shire as well to outside contractors. Once complete these projects offer liMle in the way of ongoing local employment.

Ahead is the Batemans Bay Spine Road at $30 million, the Moruya Bypass at $900 million and the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital at $200 million. Again these projects came from the NSW State Government.

So what has Liz Innes achieved in her five years of being Mayor?

Not much it appears. On June 24th 2021 "Cr Innes referenced the oyster hatchery at Moruya Airport, tourism industry projects and promo&on of the arts as being what she was most proud of during her mayoral term." source It will take :me to measure the legacy of Mayor Innes once the community is allowed out to see what remains. Her edifice of the "Gateway to the Shire" will be opened in early 2022 by a new mayor and a new council who will realise that they have inherited a facility that will heavily impose itself on the financial well being of the Council coffers. In the mean:me we will con:nue to ask "Where is the Mayor?"

Shire Covid Outbreak - Bay Chamber supports call for enquiry Editor, The Beagle, Sir, Reference is made to the excellent leMer from Russell Schneider AM GAICD, President of the Eurobodalla Coastal Alliance (ECA) on 22 September.

The Batemans Bay Business and Tourism Chamber also calls for an independent high-level enquiry into the circumstances that have led the latest COVID outbreak in Batemans Bay. As everyone is aware, business has suffered shock aBer devasta:on in aMemp:ng to keep their doors open and this latest episode may well be the final blow for many small businesses.

RegreMably, media has been silent on the issues that have led to community infec:ons and locals can only rely on rumours and scuMlebuM. If the circula:ng stories are only partly accurate, they reflect what appears to be a serious breakdown in procedures to protect us. Our community and business owners need to know what went wrong and what needs to be done to prevent a reoccurrence.

Potent, haun:ng and lyrical, Night Blue is a debut novel like no other, a narra:ve largely told in the voice of the pain:ng Blue Poles.

It is a truly original and absorbing approach to revisi:ng Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner as ar:sts and people, as well as a realigning our ideas around the cultural legacy of Whitlam's purchase of Blue Poles in 1973.

It is also the story of Alyssa, and a contemporary rela:onship, in which Angela O'Keeffe immerses us in the essen:al power of art to change our personal lives and, by turns, a na:on.

Moving between New York and Australia with fluid ease, Night Blue is in:mate and tender, yet surprisingly drama:c.

Bazza raised an eyebrow and grinned.

‘Ah Mick, I think he has got his LGAs mixed up with his IGAs. Anyway, I can’t blame him, I’m confused seventy percent of the :me. At least the local barista is laughing. He reckons everyone orders double shots of coffee these days.’

‘Anyhow, Bazza, Sco Mo has got the road map to get us out of it all and…..’

Bazza spluMered his mouthful of beer.

‘Bloody road map, Mick? It’s a bloody jigsaw puzzle. You’ve got each state doing their own thing and here in NSW we’re now divided into LGAs. Mind you, I don’t blame the Premiers. When there is a power vacuum it gets filled quickly enough. I just cannot imagine any other Prime Minister, Liberal or Labor allowing the country to split and……’

‘Hang on, Bazza. Now just hang on. Sco Mo has just sorted out the Chinese with these new submarines…..’

‘We’ll debate that one another day, Mick. Why we are even talking about 8 submarines to apparently defend 34,000 kilometres of Australian coastline in the middle of a pandemic is beyond me. According to all the exper:se, we are about to go into a health crisis in the next few months. At the moment, they are bringing back re:red nurses, doctors, paramedics and even pharmacists in prepara:on. There is going to be an incredible strain on the health system and we need a na:onal approach. One might even say some na:onal leadership.’

‘Yeah but, Bazza….’

‘No buts, Mick. Your mate, Sco Mo, reminds me of a new kiMen with a bag full of balls of wool. LeB unsupervised, it grabs one, gets excited, turns it over a few :mes, runs it out, plays with it for awhile, gets bored but manages to get itself out of the tangles, leaves a mess and then heads straight back for a fresh ball of wool. Look at the track record; the bushfires, the aged care debacle, quaran:ne fiasco, vaccina:on stuff up, the response to sexual harassment and the list goes on. I’m cynical, but the latest ball of wool is this foray into Foreign Affairs and it seems to be leaving a preMy big mess beyond our shores.’

‘I will bet you the first beer back in the pub aBer lockdown, Mick, that we are talking more about the shortcomings of the health system, rather than submarines and AUKUS.

Asleep on the “Growth” Plane You might wonder, “Who’d be silly enough to get on a Vol 16 September 15th it 2017 plane just because was there?”

28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

But what’s now become glaringly obvious is that we all got on board the “economic growth” plane for that very reason. Nobody bothered to ask such ques:ons as “Where are we going?” “When will we get there?”

“What will it cost us? or, “Who’s flying the plane?”

No, we just sleepwalked, donkey and carrot like, up the stairs, down the aisle, obligingly took our seats, and fell asleep. Now, I’m not aMemp:ng a “point the accusing finger” exercise here, because almost without excep:on we all did precisely this, myself included.

I guess we all just assumed that the whole concept of endless “economic growth” somehow had the best interests of ourselves and our families at heart. I fear many s:ll believe this.

I suppose the warning signs should have been there when we saw the poli:cians manning the check in desk and the exploitable migrant labour handling the baggage. But the dead give-away should have been the motley collec:on of characters flying the ship and paying for the adver:sing. The fossil fuel lobby, the property developers, land speculators, money lenders, consumer chains, mass media & other assorted planetary parasites.

But we were all dazzled by that shiny, magical winged marvel of the 20th century, resplendent with impressive logos and some:mes crea:ve artwork, brilliantly marketed with implied but never stated promises- the GDP “growth” economy. We all took our seats on that endless flight and focussed on the entertainment screens, the food and drinks trolley and the nicely presented flight aMendants- one of whom I think, “might just have a bit of a thing for me”. We all fell in love with a fantasy.

But an airplane is aBer all, just a vehicle we choose to take us to a place where we want to be. Invariably a place somewhat beMer than our departure point, be it for work or play. Who willingly gets on a transport and travels to somewhere worse?

We could discuss endlessly whether or not the idea of economic growth was ever going to be the best vehicle to take us to our des:na:on. Perhaps a topic for another :me. But if it was, and its whole purpose was to take us to that point where human wellbeing would be sustainably maximised, and I can only assume that was its original purpose, although I’ve never heard this explicitly stated, then surely, surely we’ve overshot our des:na:on? … and no one seems to have no:ced?

The cold hard reality is, as we are just star:ng to realise, to our extreme terror, that no des:na:on was ever men:oned. Neither were the costs, the arrival date, nor who would be taking charge. It’s now evident that this plane was never about a des:na:on it was always about loading up with as many passengers as it could possibly pack in and aMemp:ng to keep them in the sky for as long as possible, while the staff cleverly ran up their credit card debts.

Oh, and by the way, if anybody had bothered to check the parachutes they’d have seen that there were only enough for the captain and crew.

So now the plane has begun its downward trajectory. But it’s not a controlled descent towards a soB beagle weekly : Vol 226 September 24th 2021

Reading—A beer with Baz landing in that amazing des:na:on we had convinced ourselves “economic growth” would deliver. Rather this is that terrifying moment where all on board realise the plane has been hijacked by ruthless, fana:cal interests who are willing to place the lives of all on board at peril in order to further their short sighted, narrowly focused cause.

Vol 48 April 27th 2018 So what to do? How to get out of this? Well, I’ve just been told the person in the window seat in row 26 has just received an interes:ng text. It seems that while we’ve all been cruising the stratosphere, others who remained “grounded”, have been working to rescue us- developing new ideas, new plans, new goals, new ways to live, and most importantly a new non-growth, economic system within which we will all thrive well into the future.

That person in the window seat in row 26, told the person next to them, who told two other people- one of whom told me, that all we have to do is to use our weight of numbers against the crew- to insist that this plane be landed at the nearest airport. That we be permiMed to disembark in an orderly fashion, walk across the tarmac and get on board those new flights pointed back towards our overshot des:na:on. Towards that place where human well-being can be maximised within ecological limits, where both people and nature can thrive in harmony over the long term- that wonderful place where we all have the opportunity to maximise our poten:al and to enjoy life without degrading the planet!

These new vessels have names. They include “Degrowth” “Steady State” “the Donut” and the “Growthbuster!” Look for their friendly representa:ves once you disembark. They are already down there, wai:ng to guide you onto your next flight.

So how about it? How about we force this fu:le “growth” flight to oblivion to the ground? Tell the person next to you of our plan, and ask them to tell two people. Let’s form a chain which stretches around the globe. Together, let’s all walk away from the current system, leaving its stagnant, fossil thinkers standing scratching their heads, hands on hips fron:ng their legions of angry shareholders and trying to explain why they lied about the promise that what they branded “economic growth” could ever be endless.

She came to this part of the world Vol 16 the September 15th 2017 of her running pal Helen Carmody. She very with encouragement 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 much enjoys the friendship with the running community in the local district.

Gill and Helen ran marathons together overseas including London, Paris, USA as well as in Australia. The most trauma:c of these was in the Boston Marathon in April 2013 when two bombs were exploded near the finish line killing 3 people and injuring 280 others.

Gill and Helen were only a short distance from the finish line when the explosions occurred. Obviously, they were unable to finish.

However, they were invited back the following year, she relates that this was a very moving, emo:onal, and special experience.

Another special young lady is Alexis Carver, who was able to receive her 30-run shirt. She is a talented athlete having represented her school in cross country running and performed with dis:nc:on in her school athle:c carnival. This is remarkable as she only recently recovered from a broken leg in skateboard accident. Her family are great supporters of the Broulee Runners having a total of 348 runs between the 5 members.

Personal best :mes were recorded by Mike Atkin in the 2 Kilometres.
