Speaking recently before a large audience at Granville Community Centre for the screening of Rosemary’s Way, a documentary film recounting how she gave hope to migrant women hurt and abused by their husbands or partners, Ms Kariuki said women in violent relationships should “walk away and just don’t come back.” Full story page 11.

WHILE Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) is urging community members to avoid handling bats after the Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) was recently detected among bats in the area, a wildlife expert doesn't want Parramatta Park users to go all batty.“The simple message is that you can only be infected by bats if you handle them–such as picking up injured bats or trying to free them from netting,” said Sandra Guy from Sydney Wildlife Rescue Service. Relevance a Chamber priority: 10 Facelift for justice pillar: 12 The new trend in travel: 16
“I don’t want people to think that bats from the camp of 15,000 grey-headed ying foxes are going to swoop down on them. Bats may annoy people living near them with noise and smell but they are essential for pollinating native trees and have been there before European settlement.”’Still, 11 people have been referred to the Public Health Unit at Westmead Hospital after being scratched or bitten by bats so far this year.

Bankwest to host food, wine festival
EVENTS | STAFF REPORTERS
AFOOD and wine festival in the Bankwest Stadium precinct is being planned to showcase the best produce in Western Sydney.
With Western Sydneysiders having endured a long and diffi cult lockdown, the Western Sydney Forage may be just the tonic as we slowly get back to doing the things we love.
Bankwest Stadium will become a centre of celebration for Western Sydney culture on Saturday, March 26 as the festival features more than 60 wineries, breweries, distilleries and food vendors from the west on a jam-packed day full of fun and fl avour.
The Stadium’s western precinct will be transformed into one of Greater Sydney’s biggest Food & Wines shows with a host of stalls and outdoor dining at the event, which will also feature entertainment headlined by chart-topping ARIA Award-winning artists Sneaky Sound System.
The Western Sydney Forage will be a community event to bring back the joy to Greater Sydney, post-COVID lockdown. The event will run in full compliance of NSW Public Health Orders at the time with an approved COVID Safe protocol.
The day will run from 11am to 6pm with tickets to go on sale soon.
Bankwest Stadium Business Development Manager Jordan Kerry said: “We’re looking forward to bringing people back together again in a COVID Safe environment as we welcome some of the best food and wine producers in Western Sydney to the venue.
“Because it is Australia’s most culturally diverse region, Western Sydney features an amazing array of fl avours and delicacies.
“There will be an exciting range of food and wine that highlights the fl avours of local operators in the community, promotes local providores, and showcases NSW growers, producers and winemakers. ”We want this to be an opportunity for Greater Western Sydney to move forward and to embrace everything that is great about the region.”
Western Sydney Forage is delivered by the minds behind the highly successful Capital Food & Wine Festival, Capital Promotions Group.
