editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, The elec6on is in full swing and there are promises pouring forth with offers of manna from heaven to fix roads, bypass towns, improve educa6on and fix health. All very admirable. Funnily the ones making the biggest promises are the crew currently in power. You might wonder why they hadn’t done anything to date and it takes an elec6on for them to actually engage and act.

But are they ac6ng or are they only promising to act?

When you boil it down we are simple creatures. Not everyone can be a leader, nor do most folks want to be leaders. As a kid we formed groups. There were the leaders, the next rung down of would be leaders who I would always recognise and an unelected commi=ee that was usually determined by a Captains Pick depending on degree of favouri6sm at the 6me.

Below the commi=ee were the followers who were swore allegiance to the group. They were part of the US and everyone else was THEM. Every playground in the country has its groups, its gangs, its huddles that share secrets, experiences and ideas. And every group believed that they were be=er than the others.

As a transient kid going from one school to the next I learnt that you needed to consider what group you might choose. I was a wild child, far too wild and far to different to most of the kids I encountered at school.

The term “Run with the hare and hunt with the hounds” described me fairly well in that I was accepted in all camps but held allegiance to none. In PNG, at the 6me, I was a Territorian child. A rare breed that did not belong to any tribe yet was accepted by all tribes sharing a mutual distrust of kiaps and authority.

When Independence arrived there was an addi6onal level of distrust added. The poli6cian. Poli6cs in PNG is a poetry in mo6on that borders on chaos from one day to the next. The corrup6on is stellar and the bribery for votes legendary. In Tok Pisin a poli6cian is called a Gris Man. That translates as a Grease Man. Elec6ons in PNG are a 6me for maximum “gris” with giDs of betel nut and beer to buy votes. Usually the one with the most “gris” wins. There is also a term called used for poli6cians of “maus warra” that translates as Mouth Water, again for a poli6cian who speaks too much, as compared with another poli6cian who has “Pekpek maus warra” being verbal diarrhoea.

The next Papua New Guinea elec6ons are in June 2022. Elec6oneering in PNG is well underway and the promises being made to gain votes grow by the day. Much as we are now seeing in our own elec6on.

Every day we are delivered more and more promises. Like in PNG the biggest promises are coming from the “head men” of the main tribes. The voters are being coerced, seduced, and bribed with promises of the equivalent of shell necklaces and axes with claims of “Vote for me and I will bring riches to the region”.

Voters remember that, in the past, the necklaces ended up being plas6c and that the axe heads were poor quality and lost their edge in a ma=er of hours. But they live in hope that the promises made might one day be delivered. And they accept the spin as if it is true, aware that most of it has never been delivered before, and probably can’t be delivered in the future.

At some point though people stop believing all the spin and they see the leaders for what they really are.

They then decide to vote for someone else, but once again, and most oDen, for the one who effec6vely promises to deliver more ‘gris’ sooner. Unless you are a leader or a favourite you miss out. That is the way of the playground and that is the way of poli6cs.

Maybe the Solomons became sick and 6red of our poli6cians, the supposed ‘big men’ of the region, failing in their promises and delivering li=le more than “pekpek warra”.

Who knows, maybe we too might finally see through the elec6oneering ever increasing promises being declared everyday as li=le more than “pekpek warra” and finally vote for someone who doesn’t ’gris’ , doesn’t ‘gamman’ (lie), and simply wants to get the job done. Our needs are simple and there are enough riches in the land girt by sea for everyone to have a decent life, from birth to death. If only poli6cs, ego and greed wasn’t in the way.

RMS to encounter a vocal Bodalla community on May 2nd Imagine being presented with a glossy brouchure that declares that five car spaces will be removed, a no stopping area installed, the pedestrian safety buffer to busy highway gone with a poorly designed concrete footpath add-on appearing as an aDerthought.

This is exactly what happened to the businesses of Bodalla when Transport NSW officers called by to inform them that work would begin on May 2nd.

The proposed pedestrian facili6es are set to be installed on the Princes Highway in Bodalla opposite the Bodalla Dairy and scheduled to run from Monday 2 May 2022 un6l mid 2022 between 7am and 4pm. .

Transport for NSW say the work will include: • an extended kerb to improve visibility of pedestrians and highway users • a pedestrian refuge to create a safer loca6on for pedestrians to cross the highway • installa6on of No Stopping signs southbound on the Princes Highway • the footpath will be extended to the south on the northbound side of the highway • drainage improvements on the Princes Highway to improve the resilience and safety of the network.

Transport for NSW jus6fy the project saying: "During busy periods such as the weekend or holidays, it can be difficult for pedestrians to safely cross the Princes Highway and access shops and services in Bodalla.

The pedestrian facili6es will improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians.

Their glossy brouchure says: "Following community feedback last year, the pedestrian facility was redesigned to include a pedestrian refuge to further improve pedestrian safety when crossing the Princes Highway, and reduce the impact on parking. Transport for NSW is working closely with Eurobodalla Shire Council to deliver this project."

Locals, receiving the no6ce of what is proposed have looked at the design and are raising their concerns over the design and also the impact the installa6on (and removal of cri6cal carparking) will have.

Business owners are ques6oning the statement that Transport NSW makes saying "Following community feedback last year..."

Those that The Beagle have talked to have asked the same ques6on "What feedback... no-one spoke to us".

A pe66on with over thirty signatures of affected local businesses reques6ng a round table mee6ng be held to engage with the business community and to listen to their concerns and sugges6ons has now been passed on to Transport NSW. If there is no response then the Transport NSW crews will be met on the day by a very vocal group of business owners Above: two of the Bodalla business owners with the pe66on calling for a stop work un6l there is real consulta6on and that Transport NSW understand the concerns of the community from a safety and financial perspec6ve.

Bailey Sweeny Racing Fundraiser at Bunnings Sat 23rd April Bailey Sweeny of Bailey Sweeny Racing & Michelle, his mum, are hos6ng a fund raising funds for the Charlie Teo Founda6on May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month and the Charlie Teo Founda6on is dedicated to funding brain cancer research with a low-cost model that’s redefining how chari6es operate. Our sole focus is to offer hope by funding brilliant and 'out of the box' brain cancer researchers and thinkers to find a cure for brain cancer.

Bailey has set his goal at $5000 and this weekend, April 23rd 2022, will see Bailey and his mum hos6ng a sausage sizzle at Bunnings to raise funds and awareness.

Charlie writes of his fundraising quest: "My Grandmother Maureen passed away on the 31st August 2018 at the age of 74 years young Nan was diagnosed on the 10th of April 2018 with brain cancer and was only given weeks to live. We had no idea anything was wrong with her un6l she rang my mum and said she didn't know where she was and that she'd driven up the main street in Batemans Bay the wrong way. A town where she had lived her whole life.

She was taken to Batemans Bay Hospital, the same hospital where Nan had worked as a nurse for over 50 years. This is where our lives changed FOREVER as the diagnosis confirmed she had the worst type of brain cancer, GBM. ADer endless trips to numerous doctors searching for ways we could prolong Nan's life, we kept receiving the same response, nothing further could be done. Not giving up, Mum rang Dr Charlie Teo and spoke to his office, almost pleading with him to see Nan as he was our final HOPE. Hope it was, as we were immediately booked in to see Charlie. We arrived for Nan's appointment with this great man and he met us with a huge smile, dressed casually and wearing his favourite sneakers. We were welcomed and given HOPE in trying to extend Nan's life. Charlie was so humble and down to earth saying, "Maureen, you have the worst possible cancer. We can't cure you but we can extend your life". Nan's face lit up and you could see she had life in her eyes because of that HOPE! We had not seen Nan like that since she was diagnosed.

This was on a Wednesday and he said "I have to go and save a li=le girls life in America and fly out tomorrow but I want you on my table first thing Monday morning, 6:00am.True to his word, 6am Monday morning, Nan was ready to be operated on by this great man. Nan had another 4 months with us un6l she succumbed to the terrible disease. We are so grateful that we got months rather than weeks with this remarkable lady.

Nan was my biggest fan and watched me in my younger days of Kar6ng where she was always nervous and said " I cant look" but she would be watching between her fingers. I wish she was here to see me now in my chosen career in car racing. My Nan's giD of inheritance allowed me to live my dreams by purchasing a car & racing in some elite series. As a tribute to my Nan & Dr Charlie Teo, I have the Charlie Teo Founda6on logo on the roof of my car. I know Nan is watching down over me and the car while I raise awareness to try and find a cure for this insidious disease.

I am so proud to be a Charlie "Warrior" and my challenge is to try and grab some podiums in all my races in May - the Toyota Gazoo Racing 86 Series & TCR Australia (Touring Car Series). I will be pushing myself to raise money and to save lives."

This Saturday, April 23rd, Bailey, his mum and supporters will be at Batemans Bay Bunnings to help support a very worthy cause. beagle weekly : Vol 256 April 22nd 2022

Near Miss at Narooma Bar The a=en6on of Narooma residents and visitors was drawn to the Narooma Bar around Sunday April 17th as they watched the Westpac helicopter siVng directly above overseeing a 5m open runabout a=emp6ng to enter the inlet on an outgoing 6de.

The Westpac helicopter was returning along the coast when they no6ced the runabout a=emp6ng the crossing of what locals could only describe as treacherous condi6ons.

A Mari6me vessel was present at the inlet adjacent to the Shark Net Beach at the ready to call on emergency services. Fortunately the runabout managed to navigate the pitching, oDen standing waves however the two occupants were then seen being a "talking to" by the Mari6me crew before being allowed to leave.

The volume of boa6ng traffic through the bar over Easter and the school holidays has seen a marked increase in the demand for parking at Apex Boat ramp with the design of the boatramp once again tes6ng the pa6ence and the abili6es of boaters.

real estate South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1093:

Mortgage Rates Vs the Cash Rate Recently we have seen a lot of discussion about when the Reserve Bank is likely to raise the cash rate from its historical low and when further increases may occur. A year ago, the Reserve Bank had indicated no such rise was likely until 2023 or even 2024 but the economy in Australia, and around the world, has changed significantly and it now appears that the cash rate is likely to be increased by “small” amounts steadily over the next 18 months or so. Most analysts believe this could start in June with some not ruling out next month (May). Analysts also believe the cash rate could increase from 0.1% to around 1.75% or 2%.

But, what is the relationship between the cash rate and your mortgage rate? Years ago, they were very intrinsically linked but over the years they have become less so as Australian banks source more funds from overseas markets. It is still the case that when the cash rate is varied your mortgage rate (unless fixed) will vary as well. But more and more over the years we have seen mortgage rates change whilst the cash rate has remained steady. And this is the case at the moment as our banks source funds particularly from the USA where inflation and interest rates have increased dramatically over recent months.

The reason for this is that banks endeavour to make a net interest margin by charging borrowers a higher rate of interest than they pay on deposits and wholesale funds. If funding costs increase, the banks will generally try to pass through these costs to borrowers by increasing borrowing interest rates.

In Australia, it is estimated that approximately 60% of mortgages have variable interest rates and approximately 90% of fixed interest mortgages will come to the end of their term in the next 2 years. An increase in interest rates will therefore impact nearly all people with mortgages in the next year or two. It appears that December 2023 is going to be the biggest month for fixed interest mortgages to expire.

At that time a lot of people might go from their fixed 2% interest rate to probably around 4.5%. On a $400,000 loan on a 25-year term, that would be an extra $243 a fortnight, or around $500 a month. Of course, the bigger the mortgage, the bigger the monthly increase.

Increases of this size will impact the cost of living and workers will be looking to current staffing shortages as a negotiating position for an increase in wages. So, now would be a good time for those with mortgages to start planning and budgeting for the future increases to their repayments as the experts are expecting the “crunch” to start within the next month or so. beagle weekly : Vol 256 April 22nd 2022

Fred Smith ANZAC Weekend Concert at Batemans Bay Soldiers Club Fred Smith and band will be presen6ng this extraordinary song cycle on Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club on Saturday 23 April.

The concert will begin with songs from Fred’s acclaimed Dust of Uruzgan album which draw on his experiences working alongside Australian soldiers in southern Afghanistan. It will culminate with material he wrote aDer working on the drama6c evacua6on from Kabul in August 2021.

Fred Smith was the first Australian diplomat to be sent to work alongside Australian soldiers in Uruzgan Province in 2009 and a last to leave in 2013. While there he wrote songs about his experience and put on regular concerts on the base with band is made up of Aussie, US and Dutch soldiers as well as Afghan staff.

Returning to Australia, he recorded these songs on an album Dust of Uruzgan. The CD was described in the Weekend Australian as con6nuing “a tradi6on of profoundly affec6ng Australians-at-war ballads that includes Eric Bogle’s And the band played Waltzing Ma8lda, Don Walker’s Khe Sanh and John Schumann’s I was only 19.”

The 6tle track was covered by Lee Kernaghan on his top selling Spirit of the Anzacs album.

Smith also wrote a book called The Dust of Uruzgan about his experiences, published by Allen and Unwin in 2016, and is subject of an ABC Australian Story documentary.

In 2020, Smith went back to Afghanistan to work in the Australian Embassy in Kabul. As Kabul fell under Taliban control, he found himself working from Kabul Interna6onal Airport (KIA) on Australia’s mission to evacuate passport and visa holders.

His experiences at the horrendous human logjams at the gates of the airport are expressed in this new single, “Gates of KIA”. “Seeing such human despera6on of my own eyes changed me” said Smith.

Since returning, he built a final version of the Dust of Uruzgan stage show that toured to 80 theatres around Australia. Does a remarkable job of explaining Australia’s 20 year involvement in Afghanistan, culmina6ng the evacua6on.

“The percep6on is that the evacua6on was a failure, but in fact the Australian team managed to get 4100 people out most of them are now living in Australia. Their girls and boys are going to school and having swimming lessons. We’ve changed people’s lives” said Smith. “This is a story worth telling” Fred is seen by many as the unofficial historian of Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan.

His book The Dust of Uruzgan was described by Channel 10 Poli6cal Editor Hugh Riminton as “as convincing a picture as we will ever have of the tragedy, hope, oddness and courage of Australia’s Uruzgan enterprise…an astonishingly vibrant piece of reportage from the heart of our longest war.”

The lyrics to his song Sapper’s Lullaby are engraved in marble at the Australian plot the centuries old Bri6sh War Cemetery in Kabul.

Reading Gadfly 228 By Robert Macklin There are times – like now – when life is just so wonderful, so special, that you just have to share it with our little part of the world. That part of which I speak, is of course Australia and more specifically this southern corner of NSW that includes the national gem we call Canberra.

You can keep your mighty metropoles, Canberra is the ‘Four Seasons’ of human settlement, not least because it actually possesses the quartet in annual array. And despite the belching pollutants from the crowded, industrial calamities, we can breathe the clean Canberra air all year round.

If the winter winds fain chill the blood, or the summer westerlies swell the mercury, the Mediterranean zephyrs of Tuross or the mountain airs of the Snowy uplands are each no more than a morning’s easy drive away. But if work demands your presence in the capital, then Canberra in January or July is sheer delight.

The former nicely named for Janus, the two-faced Roman god who could see both back and forth, is basically empty of Canberrans who are splashing in the South Pacific. So us stay-behinders are transported back to the 1970s when the daily rush hours were all of ten minutes morning and arvo. And these days the evaporative cooler fills the home unit with delicious breezes. While July, courtesy of the great Caesar, is snuggling-down time with crackling fires and electric blankets and footy on the telly.

But it’s also the time when Tuross beckons and that little bolthole repays its investment with savings on gas bills and reunions with the friends of that village community. It becomes ever more interesting as new retirees and workers from home add sparkle and heft to the communal conversation. We even enjoy the journey there, through the burgeoning Bungendore and the irresistible stop at the Braidwood pie shop or the Nelligen café for their incomparable flathead tails and crisp, golden chips.

If at anytime we chose the mountains or the hinterland, a smorgasbord of delight awaits in the charm of Adelong and Tumut, the history and friendliness of Gundagai and the strange, ghostly surrounds of Batlow, the apple capital of NSW with its vast white sheeting coddling the ripening orbs. To the west is the goldrush and bushranger country of Lambing Flat, Eugowra, and crooked old Canowindra.

But home is where the heart is, and the real measure of Canberra – like everywhere, I guess – may be found in its people and the things they value most. Oh yes, there’s the great National treasures of the Museum, the Gallery, the ANU and the Arboretum. And for the visitors the Parliament and War Memorial.

But for us denizens it’s the intellectual companionship that’s the real joy; and it was delightfully revealed most recently in the Canberra Times. It printed a local poll that found the following: Will you get a flu shot this year? 92 per cent said ‘Yes’.

Did you go to Church this Easter? 80 percent, ‘No’.

Do you care that Anthony Albanese stumbled over the unemployment rate? 77 percent ‘No’.

And here’s the big one: Do you know who you will vote for at the Federal election? 83 percent ‘Yes’.

Indeed, the very fact that we’re free to vote in a war-torn world is cause for wonder and delight. And no prizes for guessing just who we’ll be voting for…or against!

That really warms the cockles. beagle weekly : Vol 256 April 22nd 2022

Reading—A beer with Baz “How good is this Bazza? The Easter break followed by the ANZAC Day long weekend and our publican has even put on a Happy Hour.”

They both took long sips.

“Well that explains the small miracle of you shou6ng, Mick. But here we are squeezed between the hope and renewal of Easter and the remembrance of the Gallipoli campaign.”

“I see it more like two long weekends in a row, Bazza.”

Mick tapped his finger on the front page of Bazza’s newspaper.

“Bazza…..you spend too much 6me on the front sec6on of the newspaper. You need to read it from the back. I mean….. who really cares about the Solomon Islands? In fact, where is the Solomon Islands?”

“North east of Australia, Mick, about the same distance we are to Perth.”

Mick shiDed on his bar stool.

“Don’t worry, Mick. We will steer clear of ScoMo’s version of the Pacific Solu6on but I did go to the Solomon Islands a few 6mes for work. In fact, I caught the best fish in my life, just off Gizo.”

“Its hard to imagine you off a bar stool, Bazza, but I don’t mind a fishing story.”

They both took decent drinks.

“Well, Mick…… one of the locals takes me out in his 6nnie. No bloody lifejackets so I am scared shitless in the open sea. Anyhow, we start fishing and he casually points to Kennedy Island, named aDer JFK, President of the USA. He tells me the story of the then young Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, who skippered a patrol boat in the waters around the Solomon Islands during World War II. On a starless, pitch black night a Japanese destroyer smashed their patrol boat, and the survivors clung to the wreckage before swimming for some five hours to that uninhabited island once the sun came up. Kennedy breaststroked, towing one of his injured crew by a rope clenched between his teeth.”

Bazza took a long drink.

“Anyhow, stranded for days and in Japanese occupied waters they were lucky enough to be spo=ed by some Solomon Islanders. Kennedy was able to scratch a message with his penknife onto a smooth coconut shell and the locals risked their lives paddling a canoe in open, enemy seas to deliver it and bring about their rescue.”

“Thats a good yarn, Bazza, but what’s that got to do with fishing?”

“Absolutely nothing, Mick, but this local bloke was leVng me know the fate of the Free World was in the hands of these courageous Solomon Islanders. Meanwhile……. we are pulling in the fish and that is when I caught this bloody good sized Coral Trout, easily the best fish we caught that day.”

Reading—A beer with Baz con6nues...

Bazza paused for a sip.

“On the way back in, I take old mate through the details of preparing this fish for the barbeque and the ingredients we would need. He’s far from excited about my self claimed cooking exper6se and just gently smiles.

“We get back in, return to his place and clean all the fish. I obviously take great care with my Coral Trout and am s6ll going on about various recipes and the need to not overcook it on the barbeque.”

Lukim ples blong mi

“I’m geVng a bit peckish, Bazza.”

“Anyhow, Mick, just as he lays all the fish out on a sheet of plas6c on his front verandah his brother turns up, picks up my Coral Trout, says ‘Thanks’ and heads off. His sister then arrives and helps herself to three other really good fish, smiles, and walks off. Before long various family members arrive and leave with all the really good fish. All that is leD is pre=y much the rubbish fish for us to eat.”

“Well that’s pre=y rude, Bazza.”

“Exactly what I thought, Mick, and then he explained the custom. When you return from fishing…..family, friends or neighbours get to choose the best of the catch.

He then threw his head back and laughed and says ‘It’s a pity you have to head back to Australia on the weekend as my brother is a really good fisherman.’”

“Ah…..so that’s what ScoMo means by the Pacific Family.”

The Third Chops6ck: Tracks through the Vietnam War THE VIETNAM WAR ROCKED AUSTRALIA TO ITS CORE...

By Biff Ward The Third Chops8ck transports us back to those days. In starkly beau6ful prose Biff Ward, herself a protester, seeks to understand the war from mul6ple angles. She balances the heardelt mo6va6ons of the protest movement with candid accounts from veterans about what was happening for them in Vietnam and aDerwards. In rive6ng interviews, she explores combat, the ravages of PTSD, and the acceptance that can come with ageing and peer support.

She also takes us to the peaceful Vietnam of the post-war years, capturing poignant images of the aDermath of what they, of course, call the American War. Her lyrical evoca6on of the people she meets and war sites she visits render the war in a new light.

The Third Chops8ck is the profoundly moving story of one woman's passion to bear tender witness to those involved in that tumultuous 6me. A must-read for all the Vietnam genera6on, their descendants and friends.

Peter Yule, author of The Long Shadow, said, I have been studying the impact of the war on the lives of Vietnam veterans for many years and I learnt more from this book than any other I have read.

BOOK DETAILS Published: 2022 Trim size: 6 x 9 Page count: 330 Internal pages: B&W Binding: Paperback The Third Chops6ck ebook versions: Please visit this page for informa6on on downloading your ebook to your device or app: h=ps:// themoshshop.com.au/pages/downloading-your-ebook-to-your-device-or-app Prologue “My cousin Hugh was an Australian soldier in the Vietnam War. I interviewed him more than twenty years aDer he was there. He told me that being on patrol meant having no idea where you were or where you were going and that he found this deeply disturbing. He worked out that the only way to know what was going on was to carry the wireless set on his back because the platoon commander just grabbed it to talk to HQ or other units.

No one else wanted the job because the radio weighed over twenty-three pounds – ten and a half kilos in beagle weekly : Vol 256 April 22nd 2022

Reading—The Third Chops6ck con6nues... today’s terms – but Hugh put his hand up.

It meant he got to hear everything that was said, including where they were.

While Hugh was carrying his pack and gun and the heavy radio in the s6fling heat and monsoonal rains of Vietnam, I was pain6ng Stop the War placards on my dining table, standing beneath Viet Cong flags at demonstra6ons and raising my chan6ng voice at every opportunity. I kept it up in one form or another un6l that surreal ending, the fall of Saigon in April, 1975.

Decades later, along an unan6cipated path, I became fascinated by Vietnam veterans. I wanted to know what the war had been like for them, the detail of what they had experienced. One I befriended was Ray Fulton, a na6onal serviceman who had been a twenty-year-old carpenter called up against his will to serve two years in the army.

While I was demonstra6ng, Ray was bedecked with the military paraphernalia of an Australian infantryman, patrolling through the scrub and villages of Phuc Tuy Province where he was charged with overseeing the movements of the people who lived there, who had their homes and rice paddies there. At gunpoint, if necessary.

When I met him in 1998, he was working 6relessly to help other veterans, mainly by seVng up systems so that they could get their en6tlements. In the intervening years, he told me that he’d had been spectacularly alcoholic, homeless, crazed, in gaols and psych wards but was now doing okay, thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous.

He spoke oDen in ellip6cal snippets, bewildering outbursts or ques6ons, such as ‘What is death anyway?’, delivered in a belligerent tone. I was always stumbling to unpack his wild words, to plumb his secrets. He was so charisma6c and so vola6le that he came to represent for me a kind of archetypal veteran. ADer his death I was given his own account, some seventy pages of his handwri6ng, outlining what had happened to him in Vietnam. Even as I gained some understanding of his exquisite agony, I felt there was a piece missing. Gradually I accepted that his story would always be incomplete in some way that I couldn’t discern.

Years aDer Ray died, it turned out that the answer was closer to me than I could ever have dreamed.

Cousin Hugh. In phone conversa6ons across the country, Hugh in Esperance, me in Canberra, it turned out that he held the missing piece of Ray’s story even though they’d never met. On a wave of serendipity, our words lit up tracks which had not been visible before.

Hugh and I joined links in the tragic chain of events that had engulfed Hugh’s close friend John McQuat, Hugh himself and my friend Ray.

Timely Biography To Be Launched In Moruya A newly-published and 6mely double biography of two remarkable Federal Members for Eden-Monaro, Aus6n Chapman and Allan Duncan Fraser, provides fresh perspec6ve for looking at the role of a representa6ve of the people. In The Quest for Eden Monaro – a core sample of Australian democracy Narooma author Eleanor Robin examines the quali6es that enabled each parliamentarian hold popularity and votes in this discerning electorate for 25 years or more, over tumultuous eras in Australia’s history.

The book will be officially launched by the newly-elected State Member for Bega, Dr Michael Holland, at Moruya Books next Friday evening, April 29th, 2022.

Professor of History at the Australian Na6onal University, Frank Bongiorno, has described the work as ‘poli6cs in the raw’, ‘a poli6cs from below, a story of ordinary people and those they choose to represent them’.

Eleanor says her work is apoli6cal. She explained that the inspira6on for it stemmed from concerns about the results of recent well-researched surveys showing Australians’ declining trust in Parliament and Australian democra6c ins6tu6ons. She sought to answer the ques6on of ‘what makes an effec6ve local Parliamentarian?’ In following the careers of Chapman and Fraser she focused on the tension between local advocacy and party loyalty, the compe6ng 6me and a=en6on given to na6onal issues, as well as the influence of na6onal leadership, personal style, ability and stamina, to say nothing of the vast size of the electorate. Eden-Monaro gained its reputa6on as a na6onal bellwether aDer Allan Fraser re6red at the end of 1972 and held the dis6nc6on for 50 recent years.

Eden-Monaro – one of the most famous and intensively-studied federal electorates – once stretched as far north as Sussex Inlet; its northern boundary was brought south as far as Tuross recently as its northern and western boundaries extended to take in an arc from Yass to Tumut and Tumbarumba.

Eleanor worked ini6ally in the Canberra news media and the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery, and later, always wri6ng, in the Commonwealth Public Service. She has a doctorate in history from the University of Tasmania and an OAM in recogni6on of her services to conserva6on of Australia’s natural, Indigenous and cultural heritage.

Broulee Runner’s April 20th 2022 This evening we were back on the track and there were 29 excellent mud runners racing through the slop! The Hawkins boys showed outstanding form with Jason clocking up a personal best 6me by 7 seconds and Rocky missing his PB by 8 seconds. This is excellent running in such soggy condi6ons.

We welcomed Celina and Kevin Miller, Sophie Ellis, Audrey Milcent, Milo Booth and Carlos and Vincent Garcia to their first run with the group.

A very special welcome is given to baby Serena Dunn, who was carried by Helen Oaky. You can be never too young to be a Broulee Runner!!!!

The decision has been taken to have an alternate course when the track becomes too dangerous. ADer the consulta6on with stake holder, a new Course B has been chosen. It will consist of three distances (2,3 & 4 Kilometres) along the footpath from Candlagan Creek to Heath Street. When a decision is made, for safety reasons, to use course B, a no6ce will go out. Those people, who miss the no6ce and who have assembled at the Anchor will be allowed 6me to move around to the Creek before the start.

Your Tackle World Moruya Fishing Report Moruya River.

Well, I hope everybody enjoyed a warm sunny clear Easter weekend, I know we did. With plenty of long weekend Easter holiday makers around, we finally managed a good school holiday period. We did get a short intense rain storm Tuesday night, but with a good forecast this weekend and the last long weekend for a li=le while, the weekend is looking the goods.

The fishing gods have been happy this week, with good catches of fish reported. Whilst the water is s6ll dirty, the fishing has been concentrated towards the front of the system, it has none the less been produc6ve. Good reports of flathead, trevally, bream and the odd salmon and tailor in the lower sec6ons of the river are the norm. Preddy’s wharf, back of hole in the wall and the airport flats have all been producing this week, and will con6nue to do so this weekend.

Try pumping some nippers on the Garlandtown flats for a good live bait, or give the tried and true mullet fillet a go. We are well stocked for all the major bait types for the weekend, so we have you covered.

Tuross River.

Flathead a plenty have been reported this week, with a few more bream coming to the net this week. Again the lower sec6ons up to four ways have been fishing the best, with the deeper holes producing more fish.

You can expect to find a good amount of boat traffic this weekend on Tuross, as we have the Anzac Day long weekend and the Pirtek challenge running this weekend.

Oily baits and soD plas6cs and hardbody lures con6nue to be working well this week, that trend will con6nue this weekend also.

Rock and beach.

The southerly change did make fishing the beaches a li=le more challenging this week, but good numbers of bream, whi6ng, salmon and tailor have all been taken.

Moruya breakwall has seen a very good run of tailor this week, with plenty of salmon, trevally, bream, Luderick and flathead also gracing the stones. The rock ledges around Broulee and further north have also seen a run of small but feisty bonito. We haven’t seen a run of bonito on the south coast for a good number of years, so get into while they are here, as they provide good fun on light to medium Tackle and are delicious to eat.

Offshore.

The southerly change that came through I’d week has made condi6ons outside a li=le on the sloppy side, but hopefully they will ease for the weekend and those wan6ng to do so can get out for a bo=om bash.

Snapper have been holding a bit deeper this week, look around 40-50m, while the flathead have been in around 30-40m. I did here a report of a few Kingfish off of the Pedro point area, no doubt brought in by the warm waters and plen6ful bait.

We will be open all weekend, Anzac day included, so if you need anything, we will be here to help.

Stay safe everyone and remember, “every day's a good day for fishing…” team Tackle World Moruya. beagle weekly : Vol 256 April 22nd 2022
