Talking POINTS

with DAVID DIXON Proposal to move-out east Orange public housing tenants from their 1950s-style family homes which are to be replaced with high-density multi-level town-houses, has got many of these tenants reaching for their pitchforks and burning torches.

A campaign opposing the development, including a letter-writing campaign and letterbox drops, shows the extent of feeling in the community about this proposal from on high.

The level of community anger suggests that this issue is not going away quietly. See next week’s Newswatch for our special report on the controversy.

“O Captain, my captain” Orange almost Reg-less!

very briefly Colour City was almost without its redoubtable captain for a full-fortnight through these uncertain times when Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd recently arrived at his hotel for a conference in Sydney.

The chain inn was the right name, wrong address, with our first popularly-elected leader walking straight into the lobby of one of the coronavirus quarantine hotels set-aside for returning overseas visitors.

Another few steps — we are reliably informed by our Sydney correspondent — and Cr Kidd would have been in mandatory lockdown for two weeks. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth would no doubt have ensued as we navigated the storm-laden waters of our post-COVID world with noone at the helm.

Australia Post is once again helping to connect children directly with their number one hero via the much-loved tradition, Santa Mail and the precious letters will want to be sent early this year, so he has plenty of time to reply before Christmas Eve!

White-clad COVID-19 marshalls were one of the signs of the times at last week’s DPI opening at the new government office block in Prince St. Checking everyone in, talking all details, spot temperature checks, and wiping-down the microphone used by the official guests between speakers, one wonders whether we will ever return to our lives precoronavirus, or is the “new normal” going to be our future forevermore?

MUSIC’S BACK, BABY! BOOK FREE FUTURE TUNES CONCERT waste, like many of us, he spent time upgrading his skills and interests during the quarantine period.

“I’m normally a bass (guitar) player, but I learn the electric guitar and keyboards over this time,” he said.

Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Policy Committee Chair, Councillor Tony Mileto said the Future Tunes gigs were part of the broader Future City plan.

“It’s very important to us. It’s been a difficult and challenging year, and this is a way of putting back into the community,” he said of the concert series.

Beatles went nearly three years without live performances until their famous final gig atop Abbey Road Studios. Orange musicians — suffering for eight months under the music-free lockdown — now know how they felt!

Live music has been one of the collateral victims of COVID-19. But all that is about to change, because we’re back in the song business, baby!

Series of free live performances in Robertson Park centred around the historic 109-year-old bandstand over coming months officially ends the day the music died.

“It’s a huge relief for everybody; music makes you feel good and we definitely need that this year,” former Flying Emus frontwoman and local musician, Genni Kane said.

Her band, The Hip Replacements (including husband Jon on mandolin and guitarist Gavan Wickes) are one of the acts performing favourites from every decade since the 1960s as part of the Future Tunes gig on Friday, November 27.

“It’s been very hard for the musicians, we played our first gig last week since early March,” she added.

He says that the Orange City Council-sponsored series is a great way to lift everyone’s spirits in what has been a difficult 2020. “It’s an opportunity to bring people together in something that we all enjoy; though the concerts are limited to 500 people,” Cr Mileto explained.

“This allows local artists to showcase their music,” he added.

Gavan — in between performing with the Hip Replacements at the launch such iconic sixties hits as California Dreaming and Friday on My Mind — explained the importance of live performances to musicians.

“It’s a collaborative experience with other musicians, it’s your creative lifeblood.”

The launch at the 1911-built bandstand in Robertson Park was for Orange City Council’s announcement of the lineup for the first three of the Future Tunes gigs.

Future Tunes is designed as a series of afternoon, outdoor, live music performances aimed at bringing the Orange community together, while supporting local musical talent, in a relaxed, casual setting.

The first six acts for the first three Future Tunes gigs have been announced with the first gig just over two weeks away.

The Future Tunes gig on November 27 will also feature bluegrass, viola, and guitar player, Amy Viola.

Orange Mayor (and Queen aficionado), Cr Reg Kidd said

Inventors of the gig economy, no group in the economy suffered more than musicians with live music banned for more than eight months from the first lockdown period, returned local and two-decade professional musician, Luke Ferguson from JaFFer (who will perform at the December concert) said.

“It’s been my life for the last 20 years,” Luke, who lives and performs on the north coast, said. “I was doing at least five gigs a week, no-one’s been harder hit than musicians,” he added.

“I’ve been living in Bryon (Bay) for the past 15 years, this year was going to be the best year financially for me, it’s just been a real kick in the teeth,” he said.

Although eligible for assistance during the lockdown, he refuses any government money and has survived with teaching lessons and returning to Orange to live with his parents.

“I was actually eligible, but I refuse government assistance, I just don’t like it, always have.”

that he was excited to launch the series of mini-music gigs to be held at Robertson Park.

“We’ve announced dates for the first three (Friday) shows, November 27, December 18, and January 15 but, if all goes well, this could be a very regular event,” Cr Kidd said.

He said that the concerts will hopefully provide a knockon effect on the equally hard-hit hospitality sector.

“These events encourage people to come to the CBD after work, stay around for a drink and a snack, while supporting the local music industry.

“Then, once the show is finished at about 7.30pm, people then head into the CBD to fill the local restaurants and bars, providing them with a good financial boost for a Friday night.”

The concert series is an integral part of C ouncil’s longterm Future City initiative designed to revitalise Orange’s business district.

“Future City is about making our CBD more appealing, increasing the number of people on foot and boosting CBD businesses in a range of different ways,” Cr Mileto added.

While the concerts are free, attendees in these restrictive times are not allowed to just roll-up with a blanket and a bottle of Pinot Noir, all attendees must have a pre-ordered ticket which can be ordered through Ticketek or in-person at Orange Civic Theatre.

Gates open from 4.30pm with the musicians starting at 5.30pm, with two 45-minute music sets. It will have a fenced boundary, with socially-distanced markers on the ground to keep everyone safe.

Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket and there will be food and drink stalls available.

The December 18 Future Tunes event will feature the Neil Gill Band and RnB, funk band JaFFer while the January 15 event will feature contemporary, cover band, Gabe Music and easy-listening, soul, jazz, and pop vocalist, Liv Mirrington.

Long-grass wouldn’t cut-it in wealthy area, residents East Orange residents in Moresby Street want to know. Would a property be allowed to remain unmowed and infested with vermin, if it was near Cook Park or in the Wentworth Estate?

there,” she said.

Moresby Street resident Amy Feltus outside the unoccupied property.

She is concerned for the safety of her three children aged seven, nine, and 12 who play in the yard adjacent to the long grass.

Because that is what they have put up with, a vacant property overgrown with long grass with reports of rats, snakes, and even a fox sighted at the empty property.

Complaints to Orange City Council; Federal Member, Andrew Gee; and the fire brigade; have so far not elicited the welcome sound of mowers and trimmers, though Council is now writing to the owner aiming to get some action.

“Have a look at it, what do you think?” a Moresby Street local said pointing-out the rank long grass around the apparentlyunoccupied house.

“It was repossessed 18 months ago and, not once since then, has it been mowed; they say they’ve seen snakes, rats, and even a fox come-out of there one day,” the angry resident added.

“Council says ‘it’s not our property to mow it’, but imagine if we went on strike and didn’t mow the nature strip? They’d be onto you quick enough even though that’s really their responsibility,” the local added.

“If it was in a nice part of town, one of the wealthy suburbs, I’m sure they would

get onto it.

“Council told me they don’t know who owns it, but they must have a name on their register somewhere.”

The neighbour explained that he had also contacted the Fire Service who, he said, had informed him that, at present the long green grass did not constitute a threat for fires. “ he fire brigade said in two-three months’ time, if it becomes a fire hazard, then they can do something.”

He had even contacted Federal Member Andrew Gee who had organised an inspection of the property saying that he would take it up with Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd.

Mr Gee in a letter responding to the complaint from the neighbour said that he had asked Cr Kidd “that he address your concerns.”

Mr Gee then added in a hand-written footnote: “While it’s not a Federal Government issue, I can understand your frustration and will certainly do everything we can to help.”

“It’s gone to rack and ruin and no-one seems concerned. I like it here and I don’t want to move, it’s a pretty quiet street with good neighbours, but it is way overgrown and a threat,” she added.

Orange City Council said that long, unkempt grass on private properties is only a concern of Council’s if weeds become a major problem or “vermin” infest the land.

“Generally, Orange City Council can’t enter privately-owned land to do mowing,” Communications Officer, Allan Reeder explained.

“Under State legislation, the Council has a role to deal with priority weeds, such as blackberries, when they are found growing on privately-owned land.

“Staff have the authority to ask the resident to remove the blackberries growing on their land and, if nothing is done, enter the land to remove the weeds and then bill the resident to cover the cost of the work.”

“There are similar roles when it comes to dealing with vermin,” Mr Reeder added.

Next-door neighbour Amy Feltus, looking-out over the wild grass, is frankly troubled for the safety of her three children aged seven, nine, and 12 and who play in the yard adjacent to the property.

He said that Council did not believe that the property had been foreclosed by the banks and was now making efforts to contact the owner to have the land cleared-up.

“I’ve been here three or four months and I’m worried about snakes and also the fox that one of the locals saw come out of

“Council has received complaints about the grass at this location and has written to the owner,” Mr Reeder concluded.

PATIENCE A VIRTUE; IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY Patience will be needed for another few weeks from local drivers navigating the building site that is the northern bypass at present, Orange City Council has said.

The seemingly-interminable construction — the work started in late February — of the new $5 million roundabout at the corner of William Maker Drive, Hill Street, and the distributor will be finished by mid-December, Orange City Council Communications Officer, Allan Reeder said.

Wet weather has been the major cause of delays to the project that is nearing its ninth-month of construction.

“Due to the drought breaking-rain that Orange has received this year, there has been some unavoidable weather delays to the original eight-month construction project (February to October 2020),” Mr Reeder explained.

He says though, that, in the end, it will have all been worth it with a far-better integration of traffic from Hill St onto what is now one of our busiest roads.

“The project is about improving traffic flow at a key intersection on the northern bypass.

The project includes a re-alignment of the

northern end of Hill St, avoiding the delays that can happen there as drivers turn onto the bypass,” he said.

rain in a few weeks,” he said. “I’ve been trying to get a road built on my property for four or five months, but it’s just been too wet.”

While the work may have seemed to have meandered along for many frustrated local drivers, Mr Reeder said that the project was designed to cause as little traffic inconvenience as possible.

The sheer scale of the project also made it one of Orange Council’s largest road projects in recent years, he added.

“You’ve got to remember that this is a huge roundabout on our distributor road, we have to get it right. It’s not like a roundabout on some suburban street,” he said.

“To minimise disruption for drivers, the early stages of the construction work happened in an area on the southern side of the bypass, so traffic in Hill St, William Maker Drive and the bypass wouldn’t be affected,” he explained.

...You’ve got to remember that this is a huge roundabout on our distributor road, we have to get it right...

“As well as re-aligning the top of Hill St, the opportunity was taken to re-position the bluestone gates at the entrance to the Botanic Gardens car park, replacing the former narrow entrance,” he added.

Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd however, has little patience with nameless critics who, rather-uncharitably, compared construction time for the roundabout to the gestation period of a blue whale (10-12 months).

“When it comes to these things, everyone’s an expert in civil engineering, everyone knows how it should have been done,” Cr Kidd said.

“The thing that held it up was, the incredibly wet three months we’ve had, it

(Orange has this year had nearly 1000mm of rain over 150 days, more than double last year’s total for midNovember) “For the last 4-5 months, you can’t imagine how wet it’s been, you can’t do that kind of work when you’ve had four or five inches of

He said that seemingly-circuitous series of construction phases was designed to ensure that traffic in north Orange was inconvenienced as little as possible.

“We’ve been working with the Botanic Gardens to make sure they could stay open; we’ve bent-over backwards to keep traffic flowing,” he said.

Weather permitting, the roundabout is expected to be completed before Christmas, Mr Reeder said.

Tender for the project went to local firm, Hamcon Civil Pty Ltd for a total of $4.874 million with many local staff working on this project.

“Orange City Council thanks local residents for their patience during the construction of this valuable piece of infrastructure for the Orange community,” Mr Reeder concluded.

SCONES AND CREAM OUT

AS CWA COVID-SAFE

COVID-19 testing keeping our most vulnerable safe Cavernous reaches of the Naylor Pavillion at Orange Showground is the unlikely setting for vital work that is literally of lifeand-death importance.

Contractors are carrying-out drive through COVID-19 testing at the site for locals in high-risk categories, with symptoms, or who are simply worried about the likelihood that they may have contacted the deadly virus.

Local Show Society Committee Member, Morrie Meagher patiently waited recently while swab samples were taken from his mouth by the trained nurse at the facility.

“I was just going past here for Show business and thought I’d have the test taken,” he said, adding that this was not his first test for the coronavirus that has killed hundreds of Australians in 2020.

NSW has been one of the most successful jurisdictions in the world at combatting the virus with high-testing levels, strict quarantine for returned overseas visitors, lockdown of interstate travel during the height of the pandemic last winter, and sophisticated contact tracing for anyone who has become infected, keeping our number of fatalities down to just-over 50 deaths.

Victoria, with a similar population and less overseas travellers than NSW, is only now coming-out of the second lockdown period with more than 800 deaths makingup 80 percent of the Australian total.

Asked if will have to wait days or weeks for his results, Morrie’s answer shows how far we as a society have come in dealing with this air-borne pathogen that apparently-originated in Wuhan Province, China.

“No, it won’t take that long, I’ll get a text message at about 3 o-clock tomorrow morning saying that I’m clear,” he said confidently.

z Looking back over the years, CWA president Georgina Luscombe inspects the 1929 image that now adorns the wall of the Orange branch of the organisation.

Scones and cream with home-brewed tea were out and ice-creams were in at the recent unveiling of an historic photo on the side of the Orange Country Women’s Association (CWA) Hall in Byng St. The image from the late 1920s was for a gathering of mothers farewelling community nurse, Sister Olive who had served at the CWA’s baby clinic.

As per the times, Sister Olive was being farewelled due to the fact that she was going to be married and would have to leave full-time employment.

“Branch president Mrs Tracy Lane presented a dinner set and silver coffee pot to Sister Olive in recognition of her services to the mothers and babies of Orange,” the explanatory panel finished.

Current CWA president Georgina Luscombe said that the event was happy but also sad as most women were at the time forced to resign from work the moment that they announced that they were going to be married.

“This image captures a number of elements of what the CWA represents; women coming-together, cakes, the coffee-pot, and hospitality. It’s a delightful exposition of all those messages,” Ms Luscombe added.

“The CWA is one of those great institutions that has been going a long time and this will lift up the image of our CWA Hall,” she added.

Long-term locals are also being urged to have a look at the image to try and determine if they know or remember any of the women or children present at the event.

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

Even Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd, who knows almost everyone who has ever lived in Orange, was stumped to identify more than one or two of the women and children present.

The image is part of a series in the Future City CBD upgrade that involves a number of otherwise blank walls and shopfronts around the inner-city area being spruced-up with largescale historic photo.

Art dream now reality with shopfront space FIRST DISPLAY IN FEW WEEKS

Dream of local art pop-up art shops to display local works has become a reality.

Distinguished artist Hank Spirek’s efforts to make painting as synonymous with Orange as quality wine, heritage, and good food, has inspired a good-Samaritan to offer a prime shopfront to get the idea started.

“The landlord contacted me directly and was very positive,” Hank said excitedly.

“We’re going to work on a commission basis for artworks sold, so the more we move, the more we make,” he explained.

Hank, who arrived in Orange only about two years ago, recently harnessed representatives of half a dozen local art societies from the developing “Arts Cooperative” to promote the idea to Council.

The sudden offer from the landlord of one of the vacant Summer Centre shopfronts will involve all the local groups who supported the “Art Explosion” pop-up Christmas Art Festival proposal.

“The problem’s not going to be finding art to fill-it, the question is how many can we fit in?” Hank said.

“The idea is that we will first have art works from all the groups involved in a general exhibition and then we will offer the space for each group for a period of time,” he said.

The aim is to show people who may not normally go to an art exhibition the full-range of works produced in the vibrant local arts scene.

“I’m talking to seven different groups at present and the idea is that each group will rotate around the space after the first exhibition.”

The most exciting part of the project is that it has inspired

“The whole point is to get the Orange art groups working together, to get the people in the community to generate a little bit of interest in the art scene.”

Hank believes that local art could become as important a part of our tourism attraction as our high-altitude wines, good food, beautiful scenery, and heritage.

“The aim is to draw people to this area, and this can help the shops in this area also.”

Not one to let the grass grow, Hank wants to see the first exhibition in the new display space up as soon as possible.

“We’re hoping for the 20th to the 21st of November to start setting-up,” he said.

One of the attractions of the gallery pop-up is that it has the potential to expose locals to affordable art that they may not otherwise consider.

“I used to sell my works for thousands, now I just go for hundreds, I’m now at the stage where I only want to make enough money to pay for my art supplies, paints, and canvasses,” he said.

He envisages the art popup eventually leading to development of an arts festival for Orange along the lines of theme-focussed tourism attractions like FOOD Week.

He said though that he would like to see other landlords around town with vacant shops to also consider the benefits of offering their premises for art pop-ups.

“If this is a success, it could generate a bit of energy for the concept, give it a kick-along.”

“To really get this going, I’d like to see another shop-owner on the other side of town stepup,” he enthused.

He sees the art exhibition as being linked to some of the other cultural attractions of Orange.

Leaders of this developing ‘Arts Cooperative’ recently met with Council staff to present ideas they have for improving the profile of the vibrant arts scene in the Colour City.

“Orange art groups have long been searching for ways to showcase the wide and wonderful range of art available in Orange and now, thanks to Council, pathways forward on this issue may have been found,” Hank said after the recent meeting.

Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd has also been a strong supporter of the concept and invited Hank to address Council on the matter at a recent Council meeting.

“It’s now a case of whether artist’s, with Council’s help, who are having a go will receive community support,” Hank concluded.

Cab driving offers variety and freedom from office Hate office work and don’t like bosses telling you what to do all day? Like a job with variety where every trip is an experience?

Because if that appeals, Orange Taxi Co-op wants you!

The Co-op is always looking for more drivers, especially for the disabled cab that provides such a valuable service to hundreds of locals with special needs in the community.

The work is flexible, interesting, and you get to meet a wide variety of people as well as having a first-hand look at what’s going-on around your home-town.

But the work can be tricky, Chairman of Orange Taxi Co-Op Ged Denning explained, with a local driver recently robbed on a latenight call in the CBD. “These two guys jumped-in his cab at the rank at around 12.30 last Friday. During the journey, he got a bit concerned at their behaviour and then one of them pulled a knife and began making threats. They seemed to be on drugs, and, in the area round Prince Street, he threw the cab into park and jumped-out and ran,” Ged explained.

“Luckily, another driver came to his assistance, and these blokes were caught soon after… they’ve got them now,” he said.

Cabbies, as most people are probably aware, are divided into two categories. There are “owners” and “drivers”. Owners are small business operators who own not just the physical vehicle that is the taxi but, more importantly, the “plates”, the special taxi-cab licence plates that allow operators to run a service in NSW.

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

These plates can be prohibitively-expensive, often worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in large city areas, but are normally now worth far less than that since the introduction of ride-sharing businesses that directly-compete against the traditional taxi-cab businesses.

“Drivers” are contractors who work, normally at night, for individual owners receiving an agreed 50 per cent of the takings for the shift that can go for up to 12 hours at a stint.

...There’s always a shortage of drivers, we’re always looking for more...

“There’s always a shortage of drivers, we’re always looking for more. We could do with another 10 right at the moment” Ged said.

“That goes particularly for the disabled cab, it’s a vital service and we’re always looking for more drivers to keep it on the road,” he added.

“Anyone who is at all interested, we provide all training to get you to wheelchair taxi drivercertified. We’ve got two disabled cabs and we ideally like to have them on the road,” Ged said.

Driver Andrew Nagornov likes driving wellenough: “Most people are pretty good,” he said.

Interested? contact Ged on 6362 1333.

BIRD’S-EYEview with JEANINE BIRD

” g n i h t o N o D “ o T d r Can We Affo “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke Ahhh Whistle-blowers , they’ve never been treated well. So many brave people coming forward to expose fraud or corruption have been the ones to lose their jobs, reputations, and more. This especially happens if the power balance is huge, eg, banks with unlimited money to spend on lawyers and courts until the complainant goes broke defending the truth (a la Westpac Letters); or twitter censoring accounts that don’t agree with their political view.

Whistle-blowers are given a hard time by the media and others, called names, vilified, put down, called conspiracy theorists etc. etc. It goes on. Often, some years later, things are exposed as actually being a conspiracy, not a theory, but often by then, the media heat has gone, and it’s just news that gets lost in the bylines. But these whistle-blowers are people doing “something” to stop evil triumphing in our society.

Sadly, when journalists don’t do their job by actually researching and investigating as they should; when police don’t investigate or are in on the gig; when the courts turn a blind eye; when politicians accept advice from bureaucrats on the take (knowingly or not), or are themselves addicted to power or kickbacks; when WE the PEOPLE don’t question it, then it doesn’t matter that good men actually DO SOMETHING – because evil STILL TRIUMPHS. We don’t seem to have the moral fortitude to support whistleblowers now.

the media started telling us how we must think? Our “media” doesn’t like anyone who doesn’t agree with their world view having a say, and will quickly make snide remarks or dismissive comments, putting down questioners.

found his memory/speech. A miracle, just like the covid threat disappearing; no need now for Biden supporters to social distance - their allegations of Trumps “super-spreader rallies” has apparently been cured with a miracle election!

It’s never been so evident than now in the US, where there is a huge awakening to “fake news” with a massive swing away from the mainstream media (MSM).

It’s all falling apart, and the MSM’s gig is about up. Australian news outlets will also be affected as they are submerged in the same sycophantic swamp, as are our pollies.

Let’s say some of the following points are true?

How dare Scott Morrison (and Albo too) stupidly congratulate Joe Biden on OUR behalf for his “win” which has ONLY been called by the MEDIA – NOT by the relevant authority – the Electoral College. As in the run-up, Twitter which suspended the NY Post’s account for two whole weeks, Facebook, YouTube and Google along with the MSM were openly supporting the Biden campaign. The President’s tweets (and anyone else’s) are still being “fact-checked” if vote fraud is mentioned! This is election interference by globalist oligarchs, and is treasonous.

Perhaps we just prefer NOT to know?

Is it more comfy being the old emu with it’s head buried in the sand – cozy in perilous complacency till someone comes and brutally plucks its tailfeathers!

“Elites” have a vested interest in Trump NOT being there, and even the corrupt and supposedly mentally decaying Biden is better than Trump, because he will “take orders”, since he’s mortgaged to them in some way, as well as to China, big time. China would love to “own” (dictate policy to) the US, and the “elite” Soros’ and Bloombergs of the world putting squillions into BLM, Antifa and advertising to destabilise everything, want their part of the GLOBAL pie. So do the banks with their fiat central bank system overlording all.

Australians are all too quick to cut down tall poppies. The US has the opposite mind-set – they applaud those who have a go, or are successful. We’re too fast to accept what we’re told by media, government agencies or politicians as gospel; we have lost our collective ability to question and reason. Nothing is more obvious than the Victorian lockdown; now we are seeing all the corruption wash out, thanks mainly to a couple of journalists doing their job properly, and Peta Credlin - vilified for not being a journalist.

They’ve had it their way, and with Biden saying he’ll take the US back into the UN’s Paris Climate Accord, these oligarchs will be well on their way to enslaving Americans in their coveted Globalist Order, redistributing wealth away from Americans, and deploying jobs to other countries once more (as has Australia by agreeing to UN dictates). Only Trump stands in their way, between the people (us too), and the damage the “elite” Bushes, Clintons, Obama, Biden & Co have already gotten the US “deplorables” into, which will deepen under Biden.

When did we as a nation lose our capacity to question and reason??? Was it when

Biden, now he thinks he’s above the law and can cover his fraud as President, has

1. Edison Research has for 16 years, had the sole contract to gather exit polling, crunch numbers, and control the news feed data systems, taking it upon themselves to “call” the election, then disseminate to MSM, who trumpet it across the world, saying Biden is President-elect.

2. Edison Research may have called entire States based on fraudulent data – not actually conducting exit polls, but simply making it up, to fool people so they don’t question the “results”.

3. Big Tech pay Edison, amongst those: Gates Foundation, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Spotify, and Disney.

4. Nancy Pilosi was 100% confident “whatever the count is that Joe Biden will win the election”. Is it because husband Paul Pelosi is majority owner and controller of the SOFTWARE that feeds and calculate results? Are oneway “glitches” really glitches 5. Other claims: i. “ tens of thousands” of absentee ballots arriving in the wee hours after election day; ii. ballot backdating, unregistered voters and tens of thousands of unsecured ballots accepted iii. vans carrying 61 boxes arriving around 4am - 16,800 local ballots that should have been received by 8pm; iv. No tape or seals, sloppy packaging of ballots – easily accessible. v. Intimidation by groups of people in black (some with BLM masks) of anyone questioning poll-workers marking ballots; Votes not checked against signatures; vi. Legal scrutineers not allowed within 30-100 feet to supervise counting; vii. In Michigan alone, more than 10,000 dead people have cast

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

ballots; plus nearly 2,000 more over 100 years old but not listed as known centenarians. viii. Detroit poll-watchers allege thousands of mail-in ballots from people who weren’t properly registered were added to counts; #DetroitLeaks reports poll workers were trained how to lie, how to handle ballot challenges from Trump supporters, and process “challenged” as “regular” ballots. This info was banned from YouTube, Twitter and other social media platforms. ix. Voting machines connected to internet; votes calibrated to go to Biden instead of Trump (some instances of this called a “glitch”, but other claims it’s “programmed”).

Remember, Joe Biden said prior to the election: “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Ten State Attorneys General have joined a Supreme Court lawsuit challenging the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision: Louisiana AG Jeff Landry saying it’s like “referees changing the rules of the game midway through”.

So, if you were Trump, would you concede before it’s been OFFICIALLY called? Does he have a responsibility to challenge, on behalf of the millions of people who voted FOR him? What if their votes have been “watered down” by millions of fake votes? If the ballots were traceable, who would have the last laugh?

Do we WANT to know, or do we want to bury our heads in the sand? Do we want to know the truth about CoronaVirus, like the “Cops for Covid Truth” do, concerned that Aussies are having a globalist agenda pushed upon them with police forced to impose it?

Have we lost our ability to question and research? Do we want to be spoonfed by a compliant socialist media? Is it time WE stood up to be counted before we’ve completely lost what our Diggers fought for? Or do we just buy a red poppy and shut up till our tail-feathers are brutally plucked by Xi Jinping?

Do we have the intestinal fortitude to search, question and speak up, lest evil triumph?

AMANDA SPALDING with Bob Holland

Services Council provides – Development Assessment Bob: Last week we started to talk about the services Orange City Council provides to the people of Orange and you told us more about those delivered by the Department of Community, Recreation and Cultural Services. On a different note, what can you tell us about the services provided by the Department of Development Services, we hear so much good and bad about the experiences people have with this section of Council?

Amanda: You’re right, this is an area that gets good as well as bad reviews. The Department of Development Services has three service areas – Building and Environment, Development Assessment and Natural Resources. I thought we should concentrate on the first development assessment and building areas of Council. It’s timely that you have brought this up as the Development Assessment and Building and Environment services have been raised in several different forums that I attend.

There is considerable dissatisfaction with the length of time it can take for the development assessment process to be completed and development, construction or occupation approval given. Of course, the people who are opposing a particular development are not as concerned about how long the process takes to reject an application. So, development assessment needs to achieve the right balance in aiming to achieve the espoused objective: Sustainable growth and respectful planning that values the natural environment.

The complaints I have heard recently are about inconsistency and constantly changing requirements that result in additional expenditure for the applicant The complaints I have heard recently are about inconsistency and constantly changing requirements that result in additional expenditure for the applicant. I heard an applicant talking recently who said it had taken 4 years to get their house approved and it involved many delays and inconsistent advice.

At last week’s Council meeting the developer of the Summer Street motel was full of praise for the Development Services staff for their assistance in guiding him through the process very quickly that resulted in him getting an approval.

Another small local business had to work through several iterations of his proposals and received conflicting advice from different Council staff. The conditions of approval were a massive document.

At the Economic Development Community Committee, the issue of the lengthy delays in processing Development Applications has been raised as it is perceived that this is holding up development in the City. Some feel that the answer is to employ more staff as there is a building boom in Orange currently. An alternative is to undertake a business process review to ensure that the processes are working well, and there is a process in place to prevent conflicting advice being given by different staff to the same applicant or different applicants in the same area.

Bob: Stories like those you mentioned are not uncommon and for as long as time, it seems Council has not been able to improve things too much. Why is that?

Amanda: I’m not sure Council is entirely to blame for some delays, there is so much to consider these days and then decisions have to meet with a variety of stakeholder’s expectations.

To explain fully what’s involved would require a lot of space, let me however, give some idea of what Council has to consider. It’s still long and detailed but it does show that considering developments, of all types, may not be as simple as some people would like it to be.

I have looked at the Delivery/Operational Plan to understand what Council Is trying to achieve: Theme 2 Preserve - balancing the natural and built environment

Objective 7: Sustainable growth and respectful planning that values the natural environment

development as opposed to lodging a full development application (DA)

Strategy 7.1: Engage with the community to develop plans for growth and development that value the local environment

•

Principal Activities

ensure applicants are aware of all administrative and information requirements prior to lodging a DA

•

educate applicants on their roles and the roles and responsibilities of council staff and decision makers in the assessment and determination process.







Provide a framework for development in the City through the Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011, plans of management and Council’s development control plan Provide efficient and effective development assessment and compliance service in a timely manner Provide property information in a timely manner

I have pursued business improvements in several councils and the first cab off the rank is often development assessment.

Several councils have implemented improvements to their DA business processes. When I was at Manly Council, we had one staff member to answer queries from DA applicants to save the time of the Planners when they were working on assessments. This member of staff would liaise between staff and applicants. Many councils now have DAs online so that progress can be checked by applicants and objectors.

In 2019 the Auditor General of NSW reported on Development assessment: pre-lodgement and lodgement in Camden Council and Randwick City Council: https://www.audit.nsw.gov.au/our-work/reports/ development-assessment-pre-lodgement-and-lodgement-incamden-council-and-randwick-city-council This report has recommendations for process improvements to achieve best practice. I also like the way it describes the DA process: ‘A development application is a formal application for development that requires consent under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. It is usually lodged with the local council for processing and determination, and consists of standard application forms, supporting technical reports and plans.

In March 2017, the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE)1 released the ‘Development Assessment Best Practice Guide› designed to help councils assess development applications in a timely manner and provide a better experience for applicants.

DPE’s guide describes the development assessment process in five stages.

This audit assessed the extent to which Camden and Randwick City Councils’ ‘pre lodgement’ and ‘lodgement’ stages align with DPE’s guide, as well as the Independent Commission Against Corruption’s ‘Development Assessment Internal Audit Tool 2010.’ The DPE Guide and the ICAC tool will hereafter be referred to jointly as ‘the Guidance’.

According to DPE, receiving assessment ready development applications will create a more efficient assessment process, which will lead to improved service for all customers.

DPE says that effective communication and fact finding in the pre lodgement stage will improve the quality of applications. Pre lodgement should:

•

enable applicants to determine whether or not their development proposal could be dealt with as a complying

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

DPE also says that efficient lodgement processing aids assessment.

The lodgement stage should ensure that:

•

all DAs meet the relevant requirements for lodgement

•

additional information required by council for lodgement is reasonable and consistently applied

•

notification and referral of all DAs to appropriate council staff and state agencies is undertaken in a timely manner.

The three remaining assessment stages ‘assessment’, ‘determination’ and ‘post determination’ were not included in the scope of this audit, but may be the subject of future audits.’

Among the general recommendations for improvement to achieve best practice were:

•

have key processes in place required for legislative and regulatory compliance

•

have a duty planner providing on the spot advice to potential applicants and applicants

•

check applications for completeness at the point of lodgement

•

hold all pre-lodgement meetings requested by applicants

•

offer a significant amount of relevant information for applicants on its website

•

have a clearing house to efficiently sort, prioritise and distribute applications to appropriate internal staff or external agencies

•

provide sufficient assurance that it calculates and applies fees in line with regulations

•

monitor development assessment timeliness against targets

•

have a functional electronic lodgement system in place

•

have formal planning policies adopted by the elected council members which would assist applicants to better understand the Council’s expectations and improve transparency

•

monitor applicant satisfaction particularly with the prelodgement and lodgement stages

•

monitor how well its pre-lodgement practices are delivering assessment ready applications.

At Rockdale City Council we surveyed applicants to ask about satisfaction with the process. Of course, if their DA was refused, they are likely to feel dissatisfied, but we did find that the process was well run and well understood.

I have written previously on the importance of customer satisfaction surveys and I would love to see our local councils make use of these tools.

Bob: One really has to wonder how ordinary people can understand, let alone meet so much compliance. Not surprising the plane never seems to land sometimes, a la Robertson Park toilet, dare I bring that up again?

If you would like to discuss any of the matters that Bob and I raise in our conversations, please feel free to contact me at aespalding2@bigpond.com or on 0417 288 246.

HERE’S WHY OUR COUNCIL NEEDS TO CHANGE ITS ATTITUDE

BY BOB HOLLAND

We’ve all heard it said that sometimes the penny needs to drop before people get the message about something.

In the case of our local council, I and others have been trying to get the penny to drop over how beneficial it would be for our local economy if Council invested similar resources into promoting and marketing Orange’s general retail offering as much as they do our hospitality offering.

Well after years of banging on trying to get the penny to drop and failing everytime, let me now try the sledgehammer approach. If the story I’m about to tell doesn’t convince them, they really should all resign and make way for others who have good sense into the roles.

A week or so back Hearts for Orange (HFO) staged what we called the Big Orange Citywide Home Improvement Spectacular. It was held over 2 days, Friday and Saturday October 30 and 31 and 25 local businesses participated. The event was advertised fairly extensively over Prime TV and in Orange City Life magazine in the leadup and to add further incentive for people to go home improvement shopping, HFO put up a $2000 lucky shopper prize as well.

Following the event, HFO was able to go through the entry coupons to see where people came from to shop, reason being to see what story this may have told.

Turns out there were a LOT of entries all up and HFO is still compiling a report on where the people came from.

Early indications suggest entries were from people who had come from far and wide, but it’s not totally clear, who came as a result of the spectacular or for other reasons.

Interestingly, HFO heard from a lady from Lithgow via a Facebook post and I decided to ring this lady and have a chat to her about why she came to Orange that Saturday. To my surprise and delight, I couldn’t have hoped for a better person to talk to, to make the point about why we should be trying to attract more “shoppers”, not just tourist type visitors, to Orange more often.

The ladies name is Barbara Orr and she’s happy for me

to use her name.

Barbara told me she and a friend came to Orange as a result of seeing the TV ads HFO ran. She said she comes to Orange twice a year to see specialists. She said she wanted to update a kitchen and bathroom and thought it would be good to come to Orange to check out businesses here, she said there’s “nothing in Lithgow”, referring to the overall shopping. She said Orange is such a “nice place to shop”. I asked why Orange, and not Bathurst? She said they can go to Bathurst anytime, it’s only 40 minutes away. She said the TV ads said the participating stores were listed in a local paper. She said they picked up a copy of Orange City Life at Chemist Warehouse when they arrived here.

I had quite a long chat to Barbara, it was music to my ears, here’s a snapshot of what she and her friend did on their day in Orange. Keep in mind they came here to “shop”.

They visited Kent’s Hardware and Thomsons Garden Centre where they bought weed killer, a recipe book, something she called Pom Pom Trees, and looked at BBQ’s. They also visited K Mart, Coles, Woollies and “looked around the place where Myer used to be”.

They had coffee and something to eat at the Coffee place upstairs where Coles is. They went to Chemist Warehouse and then across to the bakery in the carpark. “They have the best vanilla slices and I always take a container to take some home when I go to Orange”, she said.

They later went to Elite Kitchens, Mitre 10, Furniture One and the lighting shop in the same street (Project Lighting) but were disappointed to find all these closed when they finally got there. Incidentally, this was the reason for Barbara’s Facebook post, she was a bit disappointed that they weren’t open given they’d come to specifically see a couple of these.

Barbara mentioned that they bought other items while here, she mentioned Chemist Warehouse as one place,

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

but couldn’t quite recall what other items they bought.

So, what’s the point in all this?

Here are two ladies who came specifically to Orange, after seeing some TV advertising for a shopping (retail) event and spent an unknown amount of money while here. One comes twice a year, this was an extra and random visit. Barbara DID NOT come for a tourism event, she came to shop!

No amount of rhetoric from our Council will ever convince me that a visitor from Lithgow or anywhere else who comes here for, say, Wine Week, would visit so many general retailer outlets or spend the type of money in them that Barbara and her friend did.

Barbara and friend should be seen as just one, I repeat, just one example of the potential for attracting more “shoppers” to come to Orange for shopping reasons more often. There would be thousands more just like her, good sense screams that!

Let’s be clear about what’s at stake here. We’re not talking about just a few hundred thousand dollars, we’re talking about potential millions of extra dollars each year that would be spent at local businesses, this in turn would benefit the whole community in many crucial areas such as creating more jobs, that’s just one absolutely vital benefit that we shouldn’t overlook.

Surely! SURELY! The argument for doing more promotion, advertising if you prefer, to attract more people like Barbara and friend, can’t be made any clearer than that.

Council, councillors…wake up to yourselves, it’s way past the time for you to change your attitude on this and actually address it, until you do, you’re depriving our community of precious additional income that’s there for the taking. If you’re not prepared to change your attitude and address this urgently, I suggest you start looking for other roles.

Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Policy Committee Chair, Cr Tony Mileto said the artwork would need to complement and enhance the city’s architectural sites of the CBD and take into consideration the social and cultural history of the region.

Is 40km/h too slow for our main street?

Let us know How low can our main street speed go? Council wants to know!

Orange City Council is asking the community what it thinks about whether the Central Business District (CBD) should have a 40km/h speed limit.

The proposal would reduce the speed limit from 50km/h to 40 km/h in the ‘inner’ blocks of the CBD, from Hill Street to Peisley Street and Byng Street to Kite Street.

Council will ask Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to review the speed limit for the CBD, and as part of that review, Council will provide feedback from the Orange community.

Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said that anyone who would like to have a say on the proposed speed limit review should register with Orange City Council’s

“YourSay” website and participate in the survey.

“Council is very interested to hear from all sections of the community, from pedestrians, to cyclists, to business owners, people with disabilities and of course, drivers,” Cr Kidd said.

“It is important to note, TfNSW regulate speed limits in NSW for all roads therefore Council cannot change the speed limit. That final decision is up to Transport for NSW.” Cr Kidd said Council had sought the support of the Orange Business Chamber for the proposed speed reduction review.

City of Orange Traffic Committee Chair, Cr Russell Turner said the committee had reviewed crash data for the area and current actual speeds motorists travel through the CBD. “Between 2014 and 2019, there were 20

“Nineteen of those crashes were in a 50 km/zone and one was in a 40 km/h zone and that person had a minor injury,” Cr Turner said.

“Studies show when reducing the speed of vehicles from 50km/h to 40km/h in a pedestrian and motor vehicle crash, the risk of having a pedestrian death is reduced from 60 per cent to 25 per cent.”

The proposal is part of Council’s Future City plans, which aims to make the CBD more walkable and to attract more people to the CBD while increasing the number of people living and working in the CBD. Other ways to achieve a more walkable CBD are also being considered such as, scramble crossings, more cycle paths and footpaths, and better lighting.

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

Data from the Orange CBD shows the actual average speeds cars travel in the CBD is rarely close to 50 km/h, however it is often above 40 km/h.

For example, 85 per cent of vehicles travelling westbound on Summer Street, from Sale Street to Anson Street average 44.3km/h.

In the other direction, the average speed is 47.2 km/h. The highest average speed in the CBD occurs on Sale Street, from Summer Street to Byng Street where motorists average 47.5 km/h.

Vehicles travelling along Summer Street from Hill Street to Peisley Street under a 40 km/h speed limit, would, on average, take an extra 7.87 seconds to complete the journey.

Submissions for the survey close on Wednesday, December 2.

Gallery staying open during $5 million extension work Good news for local art-lovers; Orange Regional Gallery is remaining open during part of the construction of the $5 million building extension for the facility.

Gallery staff and the contractors for the project, Renascent Regional Pty Ltd, have worked together in enabling the re-opening of the Gallery during the initial construction phase.

Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair, Scott Munro said the gallery has re-opened with plans to keep the home fires burning until the end of February.

The Gallery extension is funded by the NSW Government’s Regional Cultural Fund ($4,052,990) and Orange City Council ($1,000,000) with vital community contributions raised through the Gallery’s fundraising campaign going towards design costs and fit out.

Designed by Sam Marshall, at Architect Marshall, the project includes a 270 square metre contemporary gallery

with innovative use of natural lighting, a 75-seat gallery theatre and new collection and conservation area.

The purpose-built gallery theatre will be a unique gathering space in Orange for engagement and education programs as well as for wider community use.

The exhibition reopening on Saturday will explore the contribution to our cultural and artistic life of Australian painters who have helped define how we see ourselves as a people.

“The Gallery will open with the exhibition Visions of Country,” Cr Munro said. “Visions of Country presents different impressions of land from the Orange Regional Gallery Collection.”

The exhibition includes early Australian Modernists Roland Wakelin and Grace Cossington Smith to present day artists David Serisier, Elisabeth Cummings, and Margaret Loy Pula.

Visions of Country reveals the many ways artists interpret their experience of land. Across varying styles and mediums, Visions of Country presents artists fundamentally linked by their desire to portray our

inherent connection to it.

Orange Mayor, Cr Reg Kidd said that he was delighted the community was able to continue to enjoy the Gallery while the extensive building works were completed.

“The Gallery was closed earlier this year due to public health orders associated with COVID-19, so we took that opportunity to get started on a range of building works internally.

“We’ve now completed most of those improvements and work has begun on the external extension project.

“It’s really good the Gallery is able to present new exhibitions for local residents and visitors over the summer season in the recently-refurbished Alan Sisley Gallery,” Cr Kidd said.

Join Orange Regional Gallery curator Lucy Stranger for a free guided tour of Visions of Country from 12.30pm this Wednesday, November 18 or from 5.30pm on Friday, November 20. Places are limited and bookings are essential. Visit the What’s On page on the Gallery’s website to book.

Trimmed-down NAIDOC Week another sign of anxious times It was a trimmed-down Orange City Council NAIDOC Week event held this year at the front of the Civic Centre in Byng St.

Limited numbers witnessed the traditional Welcome to Country, smoking ceremony, and flag-raising event.

NAIDOC Week (from “National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee”) developed from the aboriginal civil liberty movement of the 1930s.

The first event in 1938 was organised by the Australian Aborigines’ Progressive Association (AAPA) of New South Wales which called on all aborigines to observe a “Day Of Mourning” concurrent to the national “Day Of Rejoicing” which celebrated the 150th year of European settlement in Australia. z Juru man, Gerald Power gives the introduction to the NAIDOC Week event outside of Orange Council last week.

NAIDOC Week now celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The event is generally celebrated in the first week of July, however, due to the Colour City’s consistently

| Saturday 14 November, 2020 |

cool, wet winter weather at that time of year, Orange celebrations are usually held around October/ November with this week’s local celebrations for the first time on the same week as the rest of Australia.

Orange NAIDOC Week this year kicked-off without the traditional street march but included an online talent contest, the annual Harmony Cup, a golf day, and an Elders Lunch.

Orange NAIDOC Committee Chair, Gerald Power said the celebration was scaled down this year due to COVID-19 but the spirit for the week was just as strong and vibrant as it was every year.

“The national theme for this year’s NAIDOC Week is “Always Was, Always Will Be [Aboriginal land!”.

“As we reflect on and explore our nation’s history, all 65,000 years of history, our nation’s First Peoples navigated the land, farmed the land, studied and learned from the land,” Mr Power said.

“This the first time that we’ve celebrated it in Orange the same time as the rest of Australia due to the delays from COVID-19, so that was great,” Gerald explained.

LOCAL BASKETBALL BOOM IS CRYING-OUT FOR NEW COURTS

...At the moment we’ve got only four courts, we really need to expand to seven courts..

Basketball is booming in Orange with a shortage of indoor courts, however, holding the sport back.

The local game has bounced-back from the early end to last season due to the coronavirus lockdown with player numbers nearing their pre-COVID-19 levels.

Three new indoor courts though are desperately-needed at Orange PCYC with juggling of the current indoor stadium between netball, futsal, and basketball threatening hosting of NSW Western Championship games, President Gerald Power said.

“That is the story, we co-share the courts between other sporting organisations, such as indoor soccer and netball; all under the direct management of the PCYC,” he explained.

Gerald said that the shortage of court space could lose Orange games

from the 2021 Western Junior League Championships.

“This is huge for Orange, it takes in a lot of towns from throughout the western area as far down as Griffith and Narrandera, but if we don’t have the court space, we could lose-out to towns like Bathurst, Mudgee,” he said.

“At the moment, we’ve got only four courts, we really need to expand to seven courts with room for 1500-plus spectators, we could then host games from the women’s league, the NBL, that sort of thing,” he enthused.

He said that such a large expansion of the indoor arena would probably need external money with the PCYC and Orange Council unlikely to have funds for such an ambitious project.

“It would probably need the money to come from State and Federal Governments, we’re probably talking about $3 million to get it built,” Gerald said.

a worldwide game developed more than 120 years ago for inner-city areas of the United States.

Local player numbers, he added, were gradually returning to pre-COVID levels with about 900 local team participants for this year’s summer competition.

“Our female participation is something we are particularly working-on. We lose a lot to netball, which has a high-profile in Orange,” he added, watching his Wildcats girls high school team takeon an Orange Anglican School squad recently.

Competitions run at the PCYC range from A-Grade Men’s down to “miniball” for young children with games running Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons and evenings.

Referees Coordinator Carl Smith said that, while player numbers are yearly on the increase, the Colour City does lag behind nationwide figures showing about one in 20 Australians now playing

“We’re picking-up, but we’re not on the State average,” he said.

He agreed though that court capacity was the one thing holding-back the sport locally in participation numbers. “We definitely need extra courts, we’re at 100 per cent capacity now,” he said.

“We’re still playing games as late as 8.30 at night,” he concluded.

“UNPRECEDENTED” MESS ONLY FOR SHORT-MEMORIED HACKS

By DAVID DIXON

What are Australians, with our relatively consistent, clear-cut, and transparent electoral system, to make of the continuing doubts, challenges, and counter-claims regarding the result in the US Presidential vote held more than a week-and a half-ago.

While final tallying of votes in our State and Federal elections often takes weeks to finalise, few if any doubt the integrity, fairness, or honesty of a system run by the independent and apolitical Australian Electoral Commission and its State offices.

But the chaotic unpredictability that has been a feature of 2020, now seems to have infected the voting for leader of the world’s oldest democracy.

It appeared at first that incumbent Donald Trump had gained just enough votes in a series of “swing” states to hangonto power for a second term. A pattern of late-vote reversals in key states appeared to push Joe Biden over the line with the former Vice-President having claimed victory a few days after polls closed.

Late night drop-offs of boxes of votes, election scrutineers being kicked-out of counting centres, computer glitches that swung thousands of votes from one candidate to another, and footage of polling officials filling-out dozens of ballots, are some of the allegations swirling-around the internet.

Vice-President Richard Nixon by a few thousands votes in the state of Illinois.

One thing is certain though, mainstream media suggestions that the Republican’s refusal so-far to concede defeat is “unprecedented” are simply just more of the anti-Trump propaganda from journalists and reporters who loathe his combative and pugnacious political style as well as his fiery brand of populist conservatism.

In 2000, former Vice-President, Democrat Al Gore, was denied the presidency by a few hundred votes in Florida after ballots with hanging chads (only partially-punched ballots) were struck-out by the Supreme Court after a 35-day legal battle.

Anyone with a passing knowledge of US Presidential elections know that claims and counter-claims of “ballot-box stuffing” (The Democrats) and “voter suppression” (The Republicans) are nothing new in the blood-sport that is US politics.

Yet Trump in a series of Tweets — many of which carried more warnings than a cigarette packet — claimed industrialscale voter fraud in crucial states like Michigan, Wisconsin and, especially, Pennsylvania, essentially robbed him of victory.

With a decentralised and State-run electoral system with utterly-inconsistent voting rules, voter identification requirements, technologies, and tabulation systems, the opportunities for a bit of padding-out of votes or missing ballots has historically been too great for some corrupt political machines to resists.

He has since forecast a series of court challenges, State legislative inquiries, and Department of Justice investigations into how seemingly-insurmountable leads on election night had disappeared almost overnight.

Famous examples in recent times — though there are instances going back almost to the establishment of the republic in the late 18th century — include the famous 1960 election where John F Kennedy defeated former

With the major city, Chicago, then run by legendary political fixer, Democrat Mayor Richard J Daley, the disappearance of about 40,000 votes in Cook County are believed by many to have denied Nixon the White House.

To show the possibility of conflict of interest in the US system, the winning Republican candidate was George W Bush while the Governor of Florida (and chief electoral officer) was his brother, the hapless Jeb Bush who, ironically, was destroyed by Trump in the 2016 Republican primaries.

QUESTION TO JEANINE ON THE DON’S LOVE OF CATS Dear Jeanine, Without taking up the many inaccuracies fomented by Mr Trump and repeated by you in your column published on Saturday, November 7, I have but a single question for you to answer.

Is the apparent brilliance you so admire in Mr Trump, reconcilable with his recorded and undisputed comments that, it is possible as a man with power dealing with women, to “Grab them by the &^%$#”? ~ Rurik MacKenzie

In the 2018 mid-term elections, Democrat Stacey Abrams was so sure that “voter suppression” had denied her victory over the Republican incumbent in Georgia that she has never actually conceded defeat.

And what was the media-created Russia probe, other than a three-year long attempt to overturn the 2016 election result? Fully 70 per cent of Republican voters now believe that the apparent win

by Joe Biden and the Democrats is tainted by wholescale cheating.

What an unholy mess!
