NSW DPI Project Officer Invasive Invertebrates Pauline Lenancker and National Fire Ant Eradication Program Direct Nest Injection Technician Jarred Nielsen treat one of the fire ant nests found in South Murwillumbah.

By Sarah Waters Red imported fire ants have been found in South Murwillumbah after months of widespread concern the invasive species would cross the NSW/QLD border for the first time since they were discovered at a Brisbane port in 2001.

The NSW Department of

Primary Industries (DPI) confirmed the detection of three red imported fire ant nests last Saturday.

The fire ant infestation was detected on a vacant block, owned by Tweed Shire Council, in the new industrial estate at Quarry Road, South Murwillumbah.

Within hours of the site being discovered, inspectors

from the National Fire Ant Eradication Program and NSW DPI, were on the ground working to chemically eradicate the infestation.

Detection dogs were used to determine the extent of the infestation and neighbouring properties were also searched.

An emergency biosecurity order has been put in place by

the NSW DPI across a radius of five kilometres from the site in South Murwillumbah.

All businesses and residents within that radius are restricted in how they can move potential fire ant carrier materials, including mulch, woodchips, compost, sand, gravel, soil, hay and other baled products.

Tweed Shire Council Mayor

Chris Cherry said it was fortunate the infestation was on land owned by council, so eradication measures and follow-up controls could be carried out immediately.

“We will do everything we can to control the pest,” Ms Cherry said.

Authorities scramble to eradicate Red Imported Fire Ants in Murwillumbah continued from front page

Tara Moriarty said red imported fire ants were a terribly invasive pest, which cause devastating social, economic and environmental harm.

She warned residents to be vigilant, while officers from the National Fire Ant Eradication Program and DPI, continued to focus on eradication, control, tracing and communications.

Red imported fire ants can damage electrical and agricultural equipment, sting people, pets and livestock, kill native plants and animals and damage ecosystems beyond repair.

The Invasive Species Council has called for an urgent funding review.

It stated “while eradication is still possible, it’s now abundantly clear that the $592 million proposed for the next four years

will not be enough.

“We can’t have governments waiting years to find that out, we need a review immediately.”

The Invasive Species Council describes red imported fire ants

as a ‘super pest’ that could spread to most of Australia if it’s not eradicated, devastating the environment, agriculture, cost billions and change the nation’s outdoor way of life.

NSW Farmers said the entry of fire ants into

NSW demonstrated the urgent need for increased investment by all governments to support biosecurity.

“Red Imported Fire

eradicated not only in New South Wales, but in Queensland where this incursion originated.

“We call on everyone to comply with all directions and restrictions introduced by the NSW Government.

“By doing the right thing, we can work together to keep these pests contained so that they can be eradicated.”

Those who breach the emergency biosecurity order could face significant penalties with fines for breaches reaching up to $1.1 million for an individual and up to $2.2 million for a corporation.

About to do his final crumb

By Samantha Elley A recent parking fine may be the final straw for businessman Bob Worling.

The owner of Kibbles Bakery in Walker Street, Casino has threatened that his business is on the verge of closure after 46 years of selling bread in the CBD. “It’s getting to a point with the council where they seem to want to disrupt business,” said Bob. “We know the cost of living is a struggle but (Richmond Valley Council) are making things more difficult.”

Bob is referring to the recent difficulties with Local News Business Rural Entertainment Puzzles/Horoscope

“I got my grease trap put in 12 years ago and never had to pay to register it before.”

Richmond Valley Council said crosssubsidisation of rate payers money supporting council business was not to happen, as stated in Wine Cooking Health/Seniors Gardening Funerals

their ordinary council meeting of September 19, 2023: “While it is usual local government practice for ratepayers to share the cost of operating community facilities provided for the social and physical wellbeing of residents, such as libraries, community halls, sports fields, parks and swimming pools, cross-subsidisation of business activities from general rate revenue should not occur.”

And now Bob has had to deal with a parking fine of $300 from one of his staff, who had stopped to load crates of loaves to deliver to customers.

“She had stopped in the side lane way, next to the bakery, to get the crates, so she hadn’t parked, but was loading the bread,” he said.

Bob said he has written to and visited council to plead his case but had been unable to speak to the mayor or general manager. “(They) are forcing me in to a situation where there will be no bakery in the main street of Casino,” he said.

Local indigenous man gets real about the trials and challenges of parenthood

By Sarah Waters Ballina resident Kaiden Powell says the opening of Gidget House at Tresillian Lismore Family Care Centre, is a welcome addition for Northern Rivers parents who need extra support in their parenting journey.

Kaiden, 34, grew up in Orange NSW, on Wiradjuri country, home to the largest Aboriginal group in central NSW. Over the past 17 years he has worked as an artist, counsellor and mentor to many young men in the community, where he continues to pass on the Wiradjuri culture and its strong connection to the land.

In recent years, Kaiden founded the organisation Changing the Odds, which delivers art therapy programs to individuals and organisations.

Prior to that, he was a counsellor at Namatjira Haven Drug and Alcohol Healing Centre and has toured the country as a motivational speaker, sharing his inspirational story of adversity and recovery.

During his twenties,

CEO Gidget Foundation Australia Arabella Gibson and Kaiden Powell at the opening of Gidget House in Lismore.

Kaiden found himself taking on the role of a father figure to two young boys, now aged 10 and 12, when he was in a relationship with their mother.

He still considers them to be his stepchildren, although he is no longer with their mother.

“I still am involved in their lives and have maintained that relationship with them,” Kaiden said.

“I grew up with an absent dad and I think it’s important for young boys to have a father

figure and a role model,” he said.

Despite, not having his dad around, Kaiden was surrounded by his four siblings, younger nieces and nephews and what he describes as the perfect mother and grandmother.

He knew by the age of 15 he wanted to be a dad, at some stage of his life, and acting as a father to his former partner’s children came naturally to him.

Two and a half years ago, Kaiden had his own child, named Yindyamarra - in

Wiradjuri language, it means our way of life, which is love and respect, and going into spaces, gently and softly.

Like many new fathers, Kaiden said he was overwhelmed by the joy of having a new son.

But not long after Yindyamarra was born, unresolved feelings from his own childhood started to resurface.

“I put such high expectations on myself of what I wanted to be like as a father.

“I was looking at my own son and thinking I love him so much, then I started reflecting back on my own childhood and was thinking how come my father wasn’t the same and around … or even tried to reach out to me.”

Kaiden carried around those feelings with him, while working two jobs, running a business and navigating the ebb and flow of parenting.

He started to feel shame and guilt for feeling the way he did, especially as he saw how busy Yindyamarra’s mother was with the new baby.

Eventually he found

“It’s important to have that space where we can talk about our own mental health and wellbeing, so we can be the best parents we can be.

“I’m co-parenting at the moment too, so that can have its challenges, but my focus is always on the children and maintaining positive relationships, because then everyone else benefits,” he said.

Kaiden continues to juggle fatherhood with his business Changing the Odds, while also working as a counsellor, motivational speaker and artist.

He is also a member of the Aboriginal Men’s Advisory Group.

Prior to fatherhood, he toured internationally with the National Indigenous Soccer team.

Any new parents, who need extra support, can access GP-referred, free specialist perinatal counselling sessions at Gidget House at Tresillian Lismore Family Care Centre.

help through SMS4dads, a free text message service which delivers advice, tips, and support to new fathers via their phones.

The information is synced directly to their baby’s stage of development, so they’re aware of what to expect and are also reminded to be aware of their own mental health.

Kaiden said it made him realise it was ok to have difficult feelings as a new dad and he could address those old wounds he had been carrying around since childhood.

SMS4dads commissioned Kaiden to create an original artwork about his journey into fatherhood.

The painting is based on the theme that no matter where you come from, you’re not alone and are able to have conversations about the many feelings that arise during fatherhood.

Kaiden said any service that offers help to new parents, such as Gidget House in Lismore, is always needed.

How trying to dodge a traffic fine could land you in jail

By Tim Howard A Northern Rivers legal expert has warned that people who take dodgy legal advice from certain websites to keep them from paying traffic fines could end up in jail.

Associate Professor David Heilpern, Dean of Law at Southern Cross University, presented his findings at a conference hosted by the University Technology Sydney on Friday.

Associate Professor Heilpern, who spent more than 20 years as a magistrate on NSW Local Court circuits, was worried at the increase in number of people fronting court using “legal gobbledegook” to defend themselves.

During his research for the paper for the The Pseudolaw and The Administration of Justice conference, Associate Professor Heilpern signed up to for-profit websites peddling the false promise people could use legal loopholes and tactics to get out of traffic offences.

“Of most concern is that these websites and publications actually encourage subscribers to break the law in a manner that could lead them to prison,” he said.

One of the aims of

Friday’s conference was to explore a range of issues associated with the troubling rise of the sovereign citizens movement.

Associate Professor Heilpern described the movement as a disparate group of conspiracy theorists and anti-government activists bonded by the idea that government law does not apply to them unless they provide consent.

He said the movement had its roots in the Southern USA among groups of people who had a deep hatred of parliamentary-style government.

“They’re an offshoot of the Klu Klux Klan who have pro-segregationist beliefs and an intense hatred of paying taxes and laws that rein in their rights to own guns,” he said.

“But we have our own versions of it here that grew during the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

“In Western Australia there was the Hutt River Province, where Prince Leonard I of Hutt, proclaimed he’d seceded and set up his own country.”

The fate of the Principality of Hutt River, as it came to be known, is a salutary lesson to those who give

sovereign citizen ideas credence.

Between its establishment in 1970 and its collapse in 2020, the principality became a curiosity for its bizarre attitude to governments and the Australian Tax Office.

One judge described the legal arguments the province employed as “fatuous, frivolous, and

the “Prince” failed to provide the ATO with certain documents.

It was a portent of the eventual fate of the principality, which fell apart when the ATO came calling.

On August 3 2020 the principality was formally dissolved with the ATO demanding the payment of millions in unpaid taxes across its

on the spectrum.

He said in the past 18 months there had been three incidents where people expressing sovereign citizen beliefs had been killed.

“There was the incident in Queensland last year when five people, including two police officers, were killed.

“This year there was the siege in Newcastle

“I cannot believe that various federal and state consumer protection agencies have not shut these scam sites down given that they encourage serious criminal offences, and advise readers to use claims, tactics and legal arguments that have never worked in any court in Australia,” he said.

He said existing laws were sufficient for the task, if the will was there to police them.

Associate Professor Heilpern said he had also experience encouraging signs over the years.

He recalled a case in Grafton Local Court

South Cross University Dean of Law David Heilpern has delivered a paper calling for certain websites offering dodgy advice to get out of paying traffic fines to be shut down. He describes them as “the gateway drug” for extreme right wing beliefs.

vexatious.”

Perhaps the most bizarre occurred In 1977 when Prince Leonard declared war on Australia, but called it off a few days later.

The reasoning – if you could call it that – was that under the Geneva Treaty Convention of 1949 a government should show full respect to a nation that remained undefeated after a state of war.

A more likely explanation was it came a few months after

50-year history as well as the financial impact of Covid-19.

The principality’s land was sold off to settle the tax dispute.

Associate Professor Heilpern said the Hutt River example was a bizarre curiosity, but there was a dangerous “pointy end” to the sovereign citizens movement.

He said using these ideas trying to get out of a traffic fine, was a “gateway drug” into the more dangerous beliefs

and and another in Lithgow where people either suicided or were killed by police Associate Professor Heilpern expressed frustration more wasn’t being done to rein in the movement.

In one of the glaring examples uncovered as part of his work, a company was providing advice on how to provide a false statutory declaration – itself an offence – which would not absolve the driver in any event.

where an accused, Robert Sudy, sought to defend a matter using pseudo-legal arguments.

“I spent some time with Mr Sudy explaining how none of the arguments he presented had any basis in law,” he said.

He said Mr Sudy had changed his mind on this matter and gone on to set up a website, the Freeman Delusion, which had become one of the largest repositories of information debunking sovereign citizen beliefs.

Purple tsunami to help domestic victims

By Samantha Elley A purple wave is coming!

This is the beginning of a tsunami of awareness and hopefully, providing the right support for victims and offenders of domestic violence, according to Rotary Governor for Northern NSW and South East Queensland, Dave Harmon.

Ballina-on-Richmond Rotary Club is leading an Australia-wide campaign against Domestic and Family Violence, which started on November 25 and will continue to December 10.

The National Day of Action to say ‘No’ to Domestic and Family Violence, will take place on December 1, is not only happening in Ballina, but right across Australia.

“The five rotary districts of NSW have partnered with NSW police to highlight the increasing issue,” said Mr Harmon.

“The aim (is) to advocate against domestic and family violence and educate our community about respectful relationships.”

Mr Harmon has seen his proposal of fighting domestic violence, put to the Rotary districts, accepted and prioritised.

“This means that 16 countries, 30,000 rotarians and 1300 Rotary clubs will put fighting domestic violence as a priority,” he said.

“I am over the moon, as on December 1 the CBDs of Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin will be closed for their walks against domestic violence.

“This is the start.”

Partnering with NSW

Police has strengthened the campaign considerably, according to Mr Harmon, as often police are on the front line of experiencing the after-effects of domestic violence.

Superintendent Scott Tanner of Ballina Police confirmed it is a major issue.

“Sixty to 40 per cent of our callouts are in response to domestic violence,” he said.

“We see it from the verbal arguments to the darker cases of homicide.

“We are members of the community and we are husbands, wives,

Diary of a Flood Survivor Some of the items we were able to save from our submerged house were the photos hanging on the walls.

Those that were upstairs were above the metre of water that came up to the second level.

We had put them in storage as we aired the house and renovated it back to a liveable standard.

The photos on the walls downstairs were part of my family history display, those with sepia tones of ancestors long gone.

They were the ones we had rescued the day before and carted upstairs, not realising how high the water would come.

I often tell the story of how I had placed a tub of these photos on the bedroom floor.

Just before I left the house, I looked at them

and at the last minute placed them on the bed.

That action was probably the one thing that saved some very precious, irreplaceable photos from being lost forever.

There were other photos not so lucky, but that is what we have to live with.

One particular print that made the cut was given to me after my grandmother died and we had hung it in the toilet room.

I think it was best there because it was a painting you could contemplate.

It’s entitled The Angelus by Jean Francois Millet which shows two peasants bowing in a field over a basket of potatoes and praying.

My hubby said it has always made him aware of being thankful for everything in our lives.

On the weekend I put the print back up on the wall, with a renewed feeling of thankfulness.

Firstly, that it survived the flood and secondly, how much we have to be grateful for as our lives come back to normal since February 2022.

Little steps.

parents and children and it affects us.”

Supt Tanner even advised on the way to talk to The Northern Rivers Times, he had a call of a domestic dispute called in by a neighbour.

“We hope to raise awareness, so the people involved can get the help they need,” he said.

“We want to end the silence and stop the violence.”

Supt Tanner said many victims of domestic violence find it difficult to escape their situations.

“There could be some form of coercive control, financial or emotional

dependence, cultural or language barriers and even shame,” he said.

“Campaigns like this one is to let them know there is help.”

With the death of 58 women last year from domestic violence, both Mr Harmon and Supt Tanner are adamant that all people need to take action against domestic violence.

“When statistically, a woman is at more risk of serious injury by someone known to her in her own homme than by a stranger on the street, we have to admit we have a serious societal

problem,” said Mr Harmon.

Supt Tanner encourages anyone suffering from domestic violence to reach out to their local police station for help.

“We can provide access to support services to provide financial, emotional and residential support,” he said.

“For men (or women) who are worried they will offend, they can also contact us and we can put them in touch with men’s help lines or they can ring 1800 RESPECT. “For anyone who witnesses what they believe is domestic violence, they can also contact us or ring Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000. All calls are anonymous.”

Come and join Ballinaon-Richmond Rotary Club and NSW Police on December 1 and have your say on raising awareness to eradicate domestic and family violence.

Assemble at Las Balsas Plaza carpark for a 12.30pm start.

Dr Hannah Tonkin, Women’s Safety Commissioner, will be one of the guest speakers of the day.

Tenterfield Shire Council wins statewide Crown Land Award Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin has congratulated Tenterfield Shire Council for winning the Council Crown Land Management Excellence Award at the 2023 Community Achievements Awards held in Sydney over the weekend.

Tenterfield Shire Council won the award for the transformation of its two-hectare Power House Reserve into a dynamic Youth Precinct.

Ms Saffin commended Tenterfield Shire Council for its visionary decision to build an outdoor recreational, social and cultural space that everyone can enjoy, especially the young people.

“Tenterfield Shire Council has listened to its youth and created a precinct with exciting activities to encourage people to go outside and build social connections that can last a lifetime.

“The new outdoor space which opened earlier this year has a vast array of exciting activities, including a skatepark, mountain bike

skills track, a yarning circle and accessible pathways.

“The precinct is nestled in the heart of Tenterfield, and it has not only enlivened the town’s spirit but also fostered a greater sense of identity and community “I congratulate the Council for taking out this prestigious statewide award and for its hard work in bringing this outdoor space to life.

“I know Mayor Bronwyn Petrie is thrilled with the result, because she texted me on Saturday night: We Won! The NSW Government through Crown Lands sponsored the Council Crown Land Management Excellence Award which recognises outstanding

contributions by local councils in managing Crown land reserves for their communities.

Minister for Lands and Property, Steve Kamper, said Tenterfield Shire Council has led the way in turning Crown reserve into a fun and thriving entertainment hub that has something for everyone.

“This project took a lot of hard work and extensive community collaboration, resulting in an incredible, dynamic space that will help Tenterfield’s community thrive and grow for many years to come. I congratulate Tenterfield Shire Council and the other finalists for their commitment to their communities.

Local club to reopen after flood damage.

Photos from flood, stripped down to renovated

By Sam Elley Broadwater residents are gearing up for a very special Christmas this year with the official reopening and Christmas party at the Broadwater Bowling & Recreation Club.

Like so many other buildings, the community owned club which is run by volunteers was submerged in the flood waters last February and March.

“We have seen flood water before but not to the extent of March 2022 which inundated the club to 1.2 metres through the two-storey clubhouse,”

said vice president and treasurer, David Parker.

A major part of the community since 1957, it has been a long process to get the club back on its feet.

“Progress has been slow due to securing any type of funding,” said Mr

Parker.

“The assessment to rebuild what was lost in the club was $350,000.

“We had the Mountie group and a range of clubs in NSW help raise much needed funds and donate equipment for the kitchen, carpets, tables,

mowers and a food van, along with money raised at a concert.”

The money raised was used to renovate the inside lounge area which is now complete and ready for the Christmas party on 16 December, 2023.

“The bar areas still needs a lot of work and at our last AGM, it was raised by members to become a pokie free club,” said Mr Parker. “(We will) raise money to complete the works and turn the pokie area into a kids area with

arcade games.”

During 2022 the club did not lie dormant, however, as it opened its doors to be a meeting place and also support the community with free meals supplied by the club and others on a Thursday night.

“We also still supported the local school kids in representing their school at sporting events,” said Mr Parker.

“The future is looking great for our club and (we) look forward to the Friday night meals that all our locals have missed over the last two years.”

Sparring with a welterweight champion

Joely boy Taylor is second from right, Scott Smith, owner of Maddog Boxing, extreme right

By Samantha Elley The young boxers at Maddog Boxing Gym had an worthwhile visit from Australian Welterweight professional boxing champion, Joely Boy Taylor just recently.

“He is from Melbourne and he came up to stay with us at the Maddog gym,” said Maddog owner, Scott Smith.

“He has defended his title once and has another defence match on March 23 on the Gold Coast.”

Meanwhile, Scott said Taylor had driven all the way from Melbourne to help prepare their boys for the Featherweight Title fight on December 2, which one of their cohort, Sunny McLean of Woodburn, will be fighting in. “(The visit) gave all our fighters the opportunity to step in the ring with a current real champion,” said Scott.

“It’s an honour to have him here.

“He trains out of the world famous Shadows Boxing Gym in Eltham,

By Gary Nichols The Grafton Redmen rugby fields were transformed into a sea of colour on Saturday as Pacific Island groups celebrated their rich culture for Pasifika Picnic Day. The Grafton Redmen have forged a strong bond with the Pacific island workers in the Grafton area from Fiji.

It was a day for celebration which included a traditional Kava Ceremony, dancing, music and food.

Member for Clarence Richie Williamson was on hand to extend a warm welcome and added that our Pacific Island visitors were very much a part of the Clarence Valley community.

On a tight schedule, Richie, who had another engagement in Dorrigo later in the day, managed to down a traditional bowl of Kava as did our club secretary Cameron White.

Nearly 50 years after chasing his five older brothers and sisters around their Glenreagh backyard with hockey stick in hand, Grafton hockey veteran Dave Dart has won a chance to put on Australian colours.

Dart, 53, has been a fixture on the local hockey scene since the 1980s and played with and against local legends like Kookaburras gold medal winner Brent Livermore and NSW ace Robbie Green among others.

Now it’s the evergreen striker’s time to shine, picked in the Australian over-50s team for the Hockey Masters World Cup in New Zealand next year.

Strictly speaking it’s not Dart’s first national team selection as he was picked in 2019 for a national Masters side, but COVID-19 cancelled the tournament scheduled for South Africa, leaving him wondering if he’d missed his chance.

“The next Masters World Cup is not until November next year, so it’s a long way off,” he said.

Despite the wait, Dart is excited at the prospect of representing his country.

He was picked after the National Masters titles in Perth in September/ October when his NSW team was controversially beaten in the final against Western Australia.

NSW had been unbeaten going into the game and fell behind WA after conceding a first half goal.

“It looked we scored an equaliser with two minutes to go, but the officials didn’t allow it.

“It looked like a goal, which would have made it 1-1, but that’s the way it goes.

“WA is a good side and it was always going to be close.”

Dart said the competition for the Australian team for next year had been fierce.

“Because it’s being played in New Zealand there were more than 70 nominations for selection,” he said.

“It’s great to be picked in it, because it’s a very good side.”

He said there were some players familiar to people in the Clarence Valley.

“Andrew Newton is a player who played junior hockey in Grafton,” Dart said.

“Adam Ellison, from Coffs Jetty, has played here and from Ballina, Grant Smith is in the team.

Dart said Smith, a Kookaburra from the 1996 Olympic team,

was probably the best credentialed player in the squad.

“Those three guys are all players locals would be familiar with,” he said.

Dart said the National titles in Tasmania in July would give team members a chance to bond before the World Cup. “It will give us a chance to have a training session before we get together for the tournament,” Dart said.

been picked in the NSW Country team, along with another Grafton hockey luminary Rick Sampson and had gone down to Sydney to play.

Over the years he has seen Grafton hockey produce some outstanding players.

“Obviously Brent Livermore has been the best player I have seen play here,” Dart said.

Livermore was picked in the Australian team in 1997 and played in the bronze medal-winning

promise and played their best hockey later,” he said.

“Because of the highway development, Jake has been able to stay here and play in Grafton on Saturday and travel up to Brisbane to play for his club up there as well.

“We’ve been really lucky that he and players like Rhys Cropper, have been able to play in Grafton while they’ve playing in Brisbane too.”

four days before the tournament begins we will get together for training sessions.

“It will be a sort of camp for us to get together. But a lot these players have played with an against players in the squad, so they’ll pretty much know what to expect.”

Dart said the national selection was the “cream on the cake” for his representative hockey career.

As a 24-year-old he had

He was captain of the Kookaburra team that broke the Kookaburra’s Olympic gold medal drought in Athens in 2004.

But he said the best player he has played against in local competition is current star with the Royals Hockey Club in Grafton, Jake Lambeth.

“Players like Brent and Robbie (Green) really left here when they showed

many years.

In 2009 he was a member of the Grafton team, which won the NSW State Championship at Wagga, becoming the first non-metropolitan team to win the title.

Locally he’s been a key player in the Bears team which has been a perennial top team in the local competition, just this year playing for Bears in the GHA first grade grand final loss to Royals.

Samatha’s Book

This is no ordinary stroll Title: Walking Her Way Backwards Author: Emmell Sørensen Price: $16.95 Publisher: Shawline Publishing

By Samantha Elley Who doesn’t love a good walk?

Imagine though, if that walk was of such great worth and proportion that it helped you discover more about yourself as you put each step forward.

This is what Emmell Sørensen undertook when she travelled from Australia to Spain with her husband ‘Camino boy’ to experience El Camino de Santiago (The Way of St James).

The book is a travel diary of sorts, where Emmell outlines the path they travelled on this ancient of treks covering 800 kilometres, along with other pilgrims from across the globe.

Emmell underwent plen-

ty of physical pain, mental endurance, emotional fragility and spiritual awakenings as she encountered and described beautiful little villages along the trail and met some interesting characters.

The destination for all pilgrims is the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela where it is said the bones of the apostle James are buried.

So for every step forward that Emmell takes on the journey, she experiences an enlightening view of her life and is rewarded at the completion of her journey with that satisfaction that is given to those who realise their goals.

Emmell Sørensen is a seasoned walker and planned and trained for five years before undertaking El Camino do Santiago.

She is a mother, writer, musician, music therapist, teacher and pastoral carer having walked a metaphorical journey with people.

Beyond Bricks: Hospital Project Leaves Lasting Social and Physical Impact

As the Tweed Valley Hospital project approaches its final stages, the project team takes immense pride in not only the physical construction accomplishments but also the social impact achieved throughout its execution.

Prioritizing community benefits has been a focal point for both Health Infrastructure NSW and managing contractor Lendlease from the project’s outset. These entities have been steadfast in their commitment to empowering the local community by engaging local subcontractors, fostering local employment, emphasizing opportunities for Aboriginal individuals and businesses, and nurturing apprenticeships.

Over $40 million worth of contracts for the

Tweed Valley Hospital have been awarded to suppliers from the Tweed-Byron and Northern NSW regions, constituting over 10% of the total contract value.

These subcontracts encompassed critical facets such as concrete supply, civil works, landscaping, fencing, and high-voltage installation.

Engaging local companies in significant projects not only bolsters their economic standing but also augments their expertise by collaborating with a Tier 1 contractor on a substantial government initiative. This exposure often translates into expanded capabilities, empowering these businesses to undertake more extensive projects in the future.

During the project’s peak, a staggering 70% of the daily workforce hailed from the Tweed-Byron Local

Government Area (LGA). Moreover, over 50% of the project’s construction hours have been executed by local residents, underlining the substantial community involvement.

Notably, the project has surpassed industry standards by elevating the engagement of local Indigenous businesses and individuals, increasing the spend to 5%, resulting in an admirable achievement of over $24 million in Aboriginal Participation in Construction (APIC) expenditure, representing more than 12% of the primary works contract.

In a bid to inspire and prepare the upcoming generation for careers in construction, the project actively engaged with local students and schools.

Lendlease spearheaded two highly successful ‘Try-a-Trade’ events on-site, attracting over

250 students who gained firsthand experience in various trades.

Subsequently, several students embarked on work experiences with project subcontractors, enriching their insights and shaping their career paths.

Lendlease extended its support to the NSW Big Picture learning program in collaboration with Kingscliff High School, offering students practical and relevant learning experiences beyond conventional schooling.

The enduring legacy of the Tweed Valley Hospital transcends the physical structure of the state-of-the-art health facility. It encompasses a profound social impact, empowering local companies and individuals long after the construction’s completion.

Level 1 water restrictions have been delayed Rous County Council (Rous) advises the activation of Level 1 water restrictions are not expected before Christmas, as initially predicted, due to higher than anticipated rainfall in the region during November.

Drier than average conditions associated with El Nino negatively impacted the Northern Rivers’ water supply in September and October 2023. However, recent rainfall during November, coupled with the forecast of further storm events, mean that the need for water restrictions is now delayed.

“However, recent weather patterns do not change the current restriction regime,” said Andrew Logan, Group Manager Planning and Delivery, Rous County Council.

“If we experience a dry summer, as predicted by

the Bureau of Meteorology, Level 1 water restrictions will continue to be activated when Rocky Creek Dam reaches 70%. “It is important for the community to know that the most recent advice is that El Nino conditions continue. So, whilst our current conditions have been more favourable, the overarching forecast has not changed and as such we are still encouraging the community to follow water saving advice.

“We understand that it can be tempting to relax water conservation efforts during periods of rainfall. However, we want to emphasise the importance of continuing to conserve water and adopting water saving tips to preserve our supply for as long as possible.”

Rous is actively monitoring rainfall data and inflows into Rocky Creek Dam which is

currently at 84%. The dam levels are regularly updated and can be viewed on the Rous website: https://rous. nsw.gov.au/water-savingsand-restrictions. Rous will continue to advise the community of any changes or updates.

“We appreciate everyone’s water conservation efforts and encourage our community to continue to use water wisely and conserve water where possible.”

Resilient Kids launched to support Northern Rivers children and teens post-floods

By Sarah Waters A new program, Resilient Kids, has been launched to support the health and wellbeing of Northern Rivers young people aged eight to 18 years in the wake of the 2022 floods.

Resilient Kids, funded through a $10 million grant from the Australian Government through the National Emergency Management Agency, will support thousands of Northern Rivers youth and at least 75 schools.

Healthy North Coast co-designed the program with children, young people, schools, families and mental health providers from across the Northern Rivers.

It will deliver initiatives that support children and young people to recover from trauma, reduce long-term mental health impacts of natural disaster and promote social and emotional wellbeing.

Healthy North Coast CEO Monika Wheeler said to design Resilient Kids, Healthy North Coast looked at information collected from 6611 children and young people.

“The survey results told us that physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, personal safety and reducing risks, a sense of social identity and engagement with learning were all extremely important to young people,” Ms Wheeler said.

“Our North Coast communities have been through many challenging experiences in recent years, and we will continue to support and fund a range of services that enable better mental health and wellbeing outcomes for our young people,” she said.

From back left, Play therapist Lisa Wilson, Federal Minister for Emergency Management Murray Watt, Healthy North Coast CEO Monica Wheeler and Social Futures CEO Tony Davies, have come together to create the Resilient Kids program.

Social Futures CEO Tony Davies said Social Futures has been part of the recovery from the beginning and was well aware that many young people in the region were still doing it tough.

“It is vital that the right care services are in place to support young people to build their resilience,” Mr Davies said.

“Even adults are struggling to navigate this new world and that’s why I’m so proud Social Futures is part of the Resilient Kids program.

“No one will deny that the past few years have been extraordinary, and Social Futures is delighted to partner with Healthy North Coast, The Family Centre and Human Nature Therapy to ensure that Resilient Kids makes a real difference to the lives of young people in the Northern Rivers,” he said.

Federal Minister for Emergency Management Murray Watt said the program aimed to address an important aspect of disaster recovery.

“The 2022 floods were traumatic for the whole community and the recovery process can bring a lot of change for families, so looking after mental health is so important,” Mr Watt said.

“This program has been developed by locals, for

locals, to help families access long-term, positive programs that addresses the mental wellness challenges from disasters and build resilience,” he said.

The Family Centre is delivering Stream 1 of the program which focusses on school-based programs including disaster resilience and social and emotional wellbeing education, plus parent and carer support.

Six Wellbeing Hubs, led

by Social Futures, across the Northern Rivers are delivering Stream 2, which focuses on community resilience.

These hubs have been set up to provide services, including counselling for children, young people and their families, peer-to-peer support and group support.

Outreach opportunities also available in smaller communities.

Collaboration with Northern Rivers Aboriginal Medical Services is also underway to prioritise services expected to be delivered through Stream 3, which supports First Nations children and young people.

“Leemo has views on just about anything”

‘LEEMO’S VIEW on the MEANING OF LIFE’

Here I was, keeping my mind in focus relative to my words for this week. (‘Leemo Cat’ here.) I was, much to my annoyance, thrown off my train of thought by interruption from ‘Mum Jane’. (Aaargh!)

‘Leems my boy, you’re sitting with one front paw resting against your forehead looking like an ugly imitation of that sculpture ‘The Thinker’ by Auguste Rodin. What’s the story?

(OMG, what I have to tolerate from her is unbelievable.) ‘Mum, DON’T intrude again; I’m thinking deeply about stuff I wish to use in my writing; you are nothing but a bother so go away; make chutney, a cake or rake leaves or something. Gottit?’

Well, naturally, she can’t help herself, she interrupted AGAIN!.

‘Leems, what are you writing about?? Tell me, c’mon!!’ OMG! ‘DAMMIT, I’ll tell you Mum, but ONLY if you stop bloody annoying me. Firstly, I’m writing about life and what it’s all about.’ (of course, she HAD to butt in again.)

‘Oh, easy peasy Leems; life is truly just one ginormous, generally unplanned escapade. At times it will be joyous & exciting, full of fun & anticipation & laden with happiness; other times it will be fretful and worrisome; other times it will be sad & emotionally painful.

BUT, as long as you try to comprehend each day and learn some tiny thing from it whilst you can, life must be treasured, each and every minute

of it Leems. So why don’t you tell me what you’ve learned from your life so far?’ (You will have noted, she just asked me a question; e.g., ANOTHER interruption!) My razorsharp perception told me that the sooner I responded, the sooner she would rack off.

Hmmmm! ‘OK Mum, sit down, listen, and DON’T chime-in whilst I’m speaking. (YIPPEE, she did!) I, as a cat, in essence, think about the normal needs of life such as hunger, thirst, my need for your care, brushes and affection, and my desire to play, frisk & sleep heaps. However, it has been determined by Scholars that the mind of a cat is a completely unfathomable mystery, so quit psychoanalysing me Mum ‘cos frankly, I’ve quit trying to work YOU out. I’ve learned much in my 70 years.

As an example; I have learned that living with you is a daily conundrum. I review our days together & try to learn from them. On the other side of the coin Mum, YOU have also learned much from me.

(I observed a slightly AMAZED querying rise of her eyebrows but, give credit, that her big mouth stayed shut; but did become ‘pursed’.)

So, Mum, straight to the core, over the years, I’ve ‘learned’ to train you in stuff; like always providing a CLEAN bowl for my every treat.

How to alert you to left-over’s in my litter box. How to wake you when I’m hungry. How you can rescue me when storms are in the sky and I’m scared; How to be huggled in a warm blankie. How to sing to me properly & how to get ‘Bluey’ on our TV for me.’ I do believe I heard a most mega exasperated sigh from her, followed by her words ‘you APPEAR to have TOTALLY missed the point of my query Leems’ so I’m going to rake leaves.’ Goodie, I can back to my writing.

Nitey, Leemo with bemused purrsies. (and hugs to Mum’s new friend Shirley who she met whilst discussing the price of grapes & stuff!)

Council delivers on community recovery challenge Kyogle Council has emerged from the most challenging period ever faced by the organisation and its people having completed more than $88 million in flood damage and capital works in a 12-month period, Mayor Cr Kylie Webster (Thomas) said at the release of Council’s Annual Report.

Following the catastrophic 2022 floods, Council was faced with a massive flood repair program and a worrying shortage of resources to undertake the rebuild and recovery.

“That meant Council had to be innovative in the way it worked and prepared to adapt quickly to the changing circumstances,” Cr Webster said.

“The success of this strategy can be seen in the record-breaking amount of work we’ve been able to complete in the 12 months to July 2023.”

The $88 million work program completed is $61 million more than the previous record of $27 million set in 2021/2022.

Cr Webster said Council’s financial position remained strong despite the challenges generated by the floods.

“We are in a good position going forward, with money in the bank and grants coming in at a higher than expected rate,” she said.

“It’s been an extremely challenging time for everyone, and on behalf of the Councillors, I want

to thank our valuable staff. Even during the flood restoration works program, Council staff exceeded expectations and continue to deliver a high level of service to the various communities in our shire.

“The Council would also like to acknowledge the community for their support and understanding during this challenging period and thank the many people who have taken the time to contact and thank staff for their efforts.”

“As challenging as last financial year was, Council has once again proved it’s ability to punch well above its weight.”

Cr Webster also thanked her fellow Councillors for their support and acknowledged the important role they played in setting the strategic priorities and providing the resources needed to overcome the challenges of the past 18 months.

Kyogle Council The annual report, which is available on Council’s website, provides details of Council’s operations over the 2022-2023 financial year including a summary of achievements.

Achievements include: • A total of 32 timber bridges replaced with concrete or steel structures – 29 bridges replaced under the Fixing Country Bridges Program, two bridges jointly funded by Fixing

Country Bridges and the Bridge Renewal Program and one bridge completed under the Kyogle Page Bridge Package; • 15.3km of sealed roads rehabilitated; • 409.4km of roads re-sheeted/graded, which includes the emergency works associated with the February 2022 floods and natural disaster; • More than 59,000 potholes patched; • Initial sealing of 1km section of Dyraaba Road completed under the Fixing Local Roads Program; • Collins Creek Road initial seal to Tims Lane completed using a combination of flood damage and Council co-contributions to build back better; • 1,185.04 tonnes of material recycled • 33,568 visits to Kyogle library • Continued support of the Kyogle Writers Festival, Pumpkin Festival and a series of other events across the LGA; • Bonalbo Caravan Park refurbishment completed; • 42,620 pool attendances; • Purchasing of land at Tabulam for future water and sewerage treatment plants; • Implemented a new three-bin waste collection service for general waste, recyclables and food and organics waste including community education campaign; • Adopted the Flying-

fox Camp Management Plan and developed protocols for managing extreme weather incidents and works near the flying-fox camp; • Successful in securing $200,000 grant from the Environmental Trust and LGNSW to create 4.7 hectares of flying-fox habitat north of the Kyogle Recreation Reserve; • Installed three separate displays in Kyogle to showcase the Sinclair Collection – a substantial collection of minerals, crystals and fossils gifted to Council by the family of the late Lloyd and Glenys Sinclair; • Continuing marketing of the ‘Kyogle Up for It’ campaign to promote tourism and visitors to the Kyogle LGA; • Eleven exhibitions held in the Roxy Gallery showcasing local artists and ten exhibitions in the ‘Steppin’ Up Gallery’ to support young, emerging artists and artists living with a disability; • KMI Hall Supper Room improvements completed; • Secured betterment funding for Grieves Crossing and the Clarence Way to allow for building back better post flooding natural disaster; • Mobile phone blackspot mapping completed across the LGA. • 91 development applications approved with a total value of $15.64 million.

Tweed Shire Council Unveils Visionary Plan to Elevate Region as Premier Sustainable Tourism Destination Have Your Say: Tweed’s Updated Destination Plan Aims for Sustainable Excellence.

Tweed Shire Council is seeking community input on the revised Tweed Destination Management Plan 2024 - 2030 (DMP), a blueprint aimed at positioning the Tweed as a premier sustainable tourism destination in Australia.

Collaboratively crafted

by Council, The Tweed Tourism Company, and industry partners, this updated DMP builds upon the 2019 version to adapt to evolving community needs and chart a course for sustainable tourism

growth over the next six years.

Mayor Chris Cherry highlighted the revised DMP’s ambition for the Tweed to gain recognition as a leading sustainable destination.

Emphasizing the region’s abundant natural beauty, outdoor activities, and diverse cultural experiences, Mayor Cherry stated, “Our vision is for the Tweed to stand out as one of Australia’s foremost sustainable destinations. We aim to showcase our natural wonders while nurturing the region’s cultural, culinary, and creative offerings. We welcome visitors who share our commitment

to sustainability and responsible tourism.”

The plan centres on five key pillars and corresponding objectives: 1. Beyond Recovery 2. Building the Tweed Brand 3. Showcasing the Tweed’s Strengths 4. Investment in Uniquely Tweed Events 5. Facilitating Sustainable Growth Robbie Cornelius, Director of Tweed Tourism Company, noted the DMP’s timely review in light of recent challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, border closures, and severe floods. Recognizing the resilience of Tweed’s

tourism sector amidst these adversities, Cornelius commended their adaptability and contributions to the plan’s review. He encouraged broader community participation to provide feedback on the draft Tweed DMP 2024-2030.

The revised Destination Management Plan is open for public review until 4 pm on Friday, January 10, 2024. Residents and stakeholders are invited to contribute their thoughts and ideas.

Additional information and access to the plan are available at yoursaytweed.com.au/ destination.

New CEO to lead Casino RSM Club into promising future THE CASINO RSM Club, known for its rich history and dedication to the community, is pleased to announce the appointment of John Walker as the Club’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Mr Walker is known locally as a former general manager of both Richmond Valley and Lismore City councils and brings with him a wealth of experience and a proven track record in strategic management, strong leadership and good governance, making him an ideal candidate to lead the Casino RSM Club into its next chapter of success.

With a keen understanding of the RSM Club’s values and a passion for community engagement, Mr Walker is poised to guide the Club to new heights.

Mr Walker expressed his delight about joining the Casino RSM Club, saying he was honoured to be chosen as the new CEO. “The Casino RSM Club is a great community asset with a bright future,” he said.

“I look forward to working with the dedicated staff, Club members and the Board

of Directors to continue building on the Club’s success and fostering a culture of excellence.”

Casino RSM Club Board President Brad Birney shared his enthusiasm for the appointment, saying the Board was pleased to welcome John Walker to the Club.

“By investing in innovation, fostering a culture of excellence, and expanding our market presence, we aim to be at the forefront of industry transformation,” he said.

“John’s leadership skills, strategic vision, and commitment to our values makes him the perfect fit to lead us forward.

“We believe John will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Casino RSM Club.”

Mr Walker officially assumes the role in mid-December, and the entire Club community is eager to witness the positive impact he will undoubtedly bring to the Club.

Funding disparity disadvantages rural residents La Trobe University Rural health researchers at La Trobe University say the funding disparity between rural and metropolitan Australians is “inequitable and unfair” and are calling for greater investment in rural health research.

Professor Jane Mills, Dean of the La Trobe Rural Health School, co-authored an opinion piece with Dr Leesa Hooker and Dr Fiona Burgemeister.

They say the

discrepancy is particularly concerning as rural residents already have poorer health than their urban counterparts.

Professor Mills said new models of health care are need in rural areas to address the inequities in outcomes.

“We already know that ‘what works’ in metropolitan areas does not automatically translate to rural and remote areas due to issues of setting and scale,” Professor Mills said.

“Funding research that goes beyond the remit of hospitals and enables the testing of novel place-based approaches, to rural health and health care in partnership with a wide range of industry partners, must be part of the solution to reducing the inequity gap.”

It is estimated that only 2.4 per cent of National Health and Medical Research Council funded projects are aimed specifically at improving the health of Australians living in

rural and remote areas.

The La Trobe Rural Health School (LRHS) demonstrates the value of investment in rural health and its meaningful impact on communities.

The LRHS has used small grants to test new approaches on the delivery of healthcare with a range of industry partners.

In Mildura, La Trobe has partnered with Sunraysia Community Health to transform community health outcomes in various

projects, such as extending the reach of place-based research.

La Trobe is working with McMaster University in Canada as part of a worldwide trial to introduce community paramedicine. In just a short amount of time, the trial has expanded to five different locations and engaged with more than 100 clients.

Dr Hooker, a rural nurse and midwife and LRHS Dean of Research Engagement, said available data from various projects has

shown improved patient satisfaction, health outcomes and reduced hospital admissions.

“While these projects have often been funded by small grants, evidence shows they are having a significant, meaningful and lasting impact on communities,” Dr Hooker said.

“The research partnerships have led to ongoing trusted relationships with industry providers.”

20 NEWS Emerson – thought’s eternal inferno-ist…

by Nigel Dawe

THE art, discipline, act, or magic – whatever you’d like to call it – of truly memorable writing starts, rises, or outright flounders at the very altar of thought imbued with clarity, albeit the concise combination of imagination and words caught by the person that bothers to record them.

In over 30-years of reading as if my life depended on it (and on numerous occasions it has), I’ve yet to encounter a more deeply appealing wordsmith than America’s founding Godfather of thought – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The purity and clear prodigious flow of his writing is as sublime as it is unsurpassed; there is a non-discernible separation between his thoughts, calm nature and words that elevate him way beyond the pale of anyone who considers themself cerebral.

Intriguingly, Emerson passed away in 1882, four years before New York’s ‘Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World’ (as originally named) was unveiled by then President Cleveland who stated the statue’s “stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man’s oppression until Liberty enlightens the world.” If this was the expressed aim of New York’s grand damme, then it was also arguably the achieved outcome of Emerson’s towering legacy to both literature and life.

The Nobel Prizewinning Englishman Bertrand Russell once chimed, “Intellect, except at white heat, is very apt to be trivial,” and the overwhelming essence and content of Emerson’s output are white hot reckonings devoid of all triviality; reckonings that remain as pressing, meaningful, and particular today as they were back when this Bostonian ruled the

intellectual roost.

Fittingly, a biography of Emerson written in the 1990s by Robert D. Richardson was titled The Mind on Fire, which is an incredibly apt way to describe the ever-blazing thought patterns of this mercurial individual.

Since my early 20s I don’t think there has been a time that Emerson’s writings (which mainly comprise of essays, speeches and journals) have ever been far from my reach, they’ve pretty much accompanied me every step of the way.

Like a big brother, or as philosophy’s most brooding and perhaps far-reaching figure Friedrich Nietzsche once mentioned of Emerson – that he was his “soul brother”; this being precisely how anyone remotely acquainted with Ralph Waldo’s body of work can be excused for considering him. Open any page of his collected works at random and you’ll be met with some morsel of thought that directly turns the tide of your day.

So ‘uplifting’ was Emerson’s approach to life that his genre of writing and thinking is actually known as Transcendentalism. As such, you cannot come away from reading him feeling any less than you were before, in fact – you close the pages of his work feeling absolutely refreshed, if not raised way beyond the confines of your own time.

As if to summarise his personal and unprecedented inclinations, Emerson once noted, “The office of the scholar is to cheer, to raise, and to guide people by showing them facts amidst appearances…The true preacher can be known by this, that they deal out to the people their life – life passed through the fire of thought.”

Lismore’s Roger Manby finally gets his life back, 18 months after the deluge In the early morning of February 28, 2022, Roger Manby was forced onto the roof of his home to escape floodwaters surging through the first floor of his home.

After 18 months of repairs, Mr Manby has moved back to Casino Street, South Lismore and he’s delighted to be home.

“I don’t know where else I’d want to go – this is where I want to be,” he said.

“I think I went to 65 different countries when I was in the Navy by my count, so I’ve done my moving around.”

Mr Manby, a HammondCare At Home client, now has a home refitted with new walls and floors and a new kitchen and bathroom.

He had limited insurance cover, so he relied plenty on family and friends.

His son Jay, a local artist, provided much hands-on support building new walls and

floors while providing him with a bedroom at his home at Eltham, several kilometres from Lismore.

The HammondCare Foundation pitched in with some financial backing. Mr Manby was one of 11 HammondCare At Home clients who had their homes inundated. Another five HammondCare At Home staff who had their homes damaged also were helped.

The Foundation, the charity fundraising arm of HammondCare, raised $85,000 in 2022 specifically to assist clients and staff impacted by the floods. Another $10,000 was donated to the Lismore Flood Appeal.

Mr Manby’s son Rory, who recently relocated to the US for work, passed on a near-new fridge and large screen TV. Mr Manby says about his appliances: “I’ve now got better stuff than I’ve ever had before”.

“For 18 months I’ve been living in one room at my son’s place. I could stretch out on the righthand side of the bed and the left-hand side and that was it,” he said.

“Now I have two bedrooms, a lounge room and a separate dining room and a kitchen.

What more could you ask for?”

“This now feels palatial.”

The ground floor of his home will be left in an unrenovated state for now. Jay has plans to make it a work studio.

The impact of the flood was felt elsewhere in his family. His daughter Heather is participating in the buyback after her home on Ballina Road was overwhelmed by the disaster.

HammondCare At

Home Northern Rivers Regional Manager Jodi Peel dropped by to see Roger at Casino St yesterday. Already his valued memorabilia from years of a career at sea is back hanging back on the walls.

“Listening to Roger share stories of his time in the Navy warms my heart. It’s great to see Roger happy,” Ms Peel said.

HammondCare CEO Mike Baird met with Mr Manby in September when HammondCare At Home opened its new regional headquarters in Lismore.

“Everyone at HammondCare wishes Mr Manby the very best as he settles back into his home after having endured so much,” Mr Baird said.

“We are proud to continue to support him with his needs.”

Eastern Freshwater Cod given a lifeline in the Clarence River funding from the Commonwealth Government’s Bushfire recovery package for wildlife and their habitat.

Eastern Freshwater Cod are currently only found in the Clarence and Richmond River Catchments in Northern NSW. They are listed as Endangered under both NSW and federal legislation.

Senior Land Services Officer, Shaun Morris, said habitat modification had reduced river features such as bankside vegetation, in-stream woody habitat (snags), undercut banks and deep

holes – all of which are crucial to this species reproduction and longterm survival.

“This project aimed to identify how this species is going following the bushfires of 2019-2020 and support their recovery with our successfully trialled nest boxes,” Mr Morris said.

NSW DPI Senior Research Scientist Gavin Butler said surveys supported by this project have revealed spawning sites are limited for Eastern Freshwater Cod in the Clarence River Catchment following years of drought, fire and

flood.

“These nest boxes mimic the preferred nesting habitat of Eastern Freshwater Cod, which is a dark cave where the father fans and guards the eggs and larvae during the springtime.

It’s pretty much like a private room in a maternity ward - just for fish,” Dr Butler said.

“We have designed these nest boxes to be easily transported and placed in the river where we know Cod persist, but suitable spawning habitat is missing.

“At the start of spring last year, we placed

30 nesting boxes in the upper Clarence catchment and obtained the first definitive evidence of a completely successful nesting event through to larval fish.

“In an exciting development, we have confirmed that one more spawning event has taken place this breeding season in one of last year’s boxes,” Dr Butler said.

Using this concept, North Coast Local Land Services is also looking to install large hollow logs as part of their riverbank erosion control on the Orara River.

“We have engaged contractors from Victoria to trial an innovative drilling technique in large timber logs, which bores out suitably sized hollows in the woody habitats which are then placed in the river for Eastern Freshwater Cod to spawn,” Mr Morris said.

“We will be incorporating these hollow logs into our erosion control works as part of an ongoing partnership program with Coffs Harbour City Council to protect Eastern Freshwater Cod populations.”

This project complements recent conservation and recovery stocking efforts

by NSW DPI including the breeding and release of more than 5,000 Eastern Freshwater Cod fingerlings in the area.

Innovative cod hotels or ‘nest’ boxes - first trialled in 2022 - are continuing to demonstrate their success, helping produce a new generation of Eastern Freshwater Cod on the NSW North Coast for the second time in two seasons.

Following preliminary trials at the NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) Grafton Fisheries Centre last year, a partnership project developed a purpose-built ‘nest box’ with the goal to increase breeding sites for this iconic fish.

North Coast Local Land Services General Manager, Louise Orr, said this project targeted the key recovery needs of the Eastern Freshwater Cod. “The success of the cod nest boxes has been a step in the right direction for a species that is unique to our region,” Ms Orr said.

This project is supported by North Coast Local Land Services and NSW DPI Fisheries through

22 BUSINESS NEWS Higher proportion of Australians live with a chronic health condition, impacting employment opportunities atWork Australia For the rising number of Australians living with a chronic health condition1, finding secure and meaningful employment opportunities can be challenging. During Social Inclusion Week (18-27 November), atWork Australia is shining a light on the importance of creating diverse, inclusive workplaces so people of all ages are given the opportunity to thrive.

The aim of Social Inclusion Week is to spread awareness to help Australians feel included and valued, giving everyone the opportunity to participate fully in society2.

In 2023, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reported that almost half of Australians (47%) were estimated to have one or more chronic health conditions3. Each year, atWork Australia works with tens of thousands of clients who are living with a health condition, and facing barriers to find work, gain access to the workforce.

Ashley, aged 33 from Pinjarra, WA, lives with a physical long-term back injury as well as an anxiety disorder.

The AIHW reports that 16% of Australians living with a chronic illness experience back problems4.

Ashley experienced atWork Australia’s support firsthand when he needed to upskill and manage his pain in order to re-enter the workforce.

Ashley is one of 411,500 residents (16%) in Western Australia living with a disability5.

Ashley’s condition makes his employment

journey look a little different to most.

By getting to know Ashley’s goals, employment history and what his ideal workplace would look like (considering his chronic illness), atWork Australia supported Ashley to work through the skills needed for the workplace. Through resume and cover letter support, job hunting, various training courses (e.g. White Card course) and everything in between, Ashley was able to secure his ideal job that best suited his needs.

To progress his career journey, atWork Australia were able to financially assist Ashley and support him with the emotional toll that comes with the restriction of everyday activities due to his disability. Some of these include regular check-up calls with Ashley, various handson courses to enhance his skills, counselling services and support for his social anxiety.

“The fact that I can call the local team about anything, without being worried about being judged, gives me a strong sense of comfort. I truly think job providers are not given enough recognition for the important work they do,”said Ashley. atWork Australia provides tailored services to support a person in a way that encourages them to thrive. After all, the right person in the right job means lasting employment and transformed lives and businesses.

More than 400,000 complaints sent to AFCA in first 5 years Australian Financial Complaints Authority Australia’s financial dispute resolution scheme has reached a major milestone – five years of operation.

Consumers have taken more than 400,000 disputes to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) in that time, securing a total of $1.2 billion in compensation and refunds.

This was during some of the most trying times financial firms and their customers have faced, including a global pandemic, rising interest rates, a sharp escalation in scams activity and the financial impact of significant natural disasters.

Since starting operations in November 2018, AFCA has worked with more than 16,500 victims of scams, more than 7,500 people affected by natural disasters (excluding COVID), and more than 30,000 people experiencing financial difficulty. It registered more than 17,000 COVID-related complaints, helping to resolve disputes involving financial products such as travel insurance and superannuation.

In addition, AFCA’s systemic issues work – where it identifies wider issues than a single complaint – resulted in 4.9 million people receiving more than $340 million.

“We have dealt with hundreds of thousands of cases over the past five years, but we are fully aware that behind every complaint is an individual, a family or small business,” AFCA’s

David Locke, Chief Ombudsman and Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Ombudsman, David Locke, said. “We know how stressful a financial dispute can be, and how critical it is to help consumers and firms resolve their differences.

“An ombudsman service also plays an important role in supporting public confidence in engaging with the financial services sector, because we are here to help when consumers and firms can’t resolve disputes on their own. We work to contribute to a fair and efficient financial services sector.”

With complaints reaching a record 97,000 in the last financial year alone, AFCA’s services had never been needed more, Mr Locke added.

“But our hope is that, working with firms, we will see a significant improvement in their in-house complaints handling. Consumers shouldn’t have to be escalating this volume of disputes to AFCA.” He congratulated the 70 per cent of AFCA Scheme member firms that have never had

a complaint reach AFCA. “While we will always point out areas of concern, to help inform consumers, firms, regulators and government, it’s important for the community to understand that the majority of financial firm members do not generate any complaints,” Mr Locke said.

Mr Locke said AFCA continued to be a cheaper and more efficient alternative to a court process for both firms and consumers.

Over its first five years AFCA resolved 60 per cent of cases in less than 60 days – mostly by helping the two sides reach agreement. Only 6 per cent of cases needed to progress to a formal decision.

AFCA was set up after the 2017 Ramsay Review recommended the establishment of a single scheme to handle disputes formerly handled by the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Credit and Investments Ombudsman and the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal.

AFCA is a not-for-

profit organisation funded by fees and charges paid by member firms. Its service is free for consumers and small business complainants.

A Treasury-led Independent Review in 2021 found AFCA was “performing well in a difficult operating environment and a changing regulatory landscape” and reaffirmed its impartiality and its fairness jurisdiction.

Key facts AFCA was established on 1 November 2018.

The following data is as at 31 October 2023.

• 402,346 complaints registered • $1.18 billion in compensation or refunds for consumers and small businesses • 68% of complaints resolved by agreement • 6% of cases progressed to a formal decision • 46,097 members of AFCA Scheme (10,494 firms plus 35,603 individual authorised credit representatives) • 69% of financial firm members have not had a complaint made against them

WARWICK LIVESTOCK MARKET REPORTS WARWICK & DISTRICT W/E 24/11/2023 Much needed moisture turned the yarding’s upside down with the much-needed rainfall slowing the throughput of livestock to the Warwick weekly livestock sales. Cattle and Sheep numbers were down on the previous few weeks and even the poultry and pork numbers were back across the board. The rain was very much appreciated from the aspect of fires around the district, and it was good to see the main falls of rain in the areas that were in the bushfire targets. Cattle saw 211 head yarded and the market was stronger across the spectrum. Sheep and lambs were also affected with 568 head being marketed and again the market took an upward swing.

Moon lightSOLUTION up your sign! It’s time to shake off the shackles of other people’s expectations and, instead, be the authentically real you. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Taylor Swift: “Be yourself, chase your dreams, and just never say never.” But Mercury starts reversing through your money zone so try to reign in your shopaholic tendencies.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) On Wednesday, Mercury starts reversing through your sign. Mercury is the planet of clear thinking, communication (talking, texting and writing), transport, travel, commuting, commerce, computers, media and the internet. So – when it’s retrograde – it’s not a good time to do the following things: sign contracts; start a job or business; buy a phone, computer, car or home; launch a website; install new software; go on a business trip or embark on a holiday.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Are you feeling confused, Aquarius? Have you been questioning your goals in life? Or does it seem as if you’ve got the worries of the world on your shoulders? Take a step back and view things from a wider perspective. Doing good deeds will leave you with a warm inner glow. So think up some dynamic ways you can help those who are less fortunate. As Yoko Ono (a fellow Aquarian) observes: “Helping yourself is connected with helping others.”

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) This week – with a New Moon and Mercury turning retrograde – it’s time to do anything Barbara Midgley with an ‘re’ in front of it: revise, rehearse, review, remember, return, recover, reconnect. Especially in areas involving career, colleagues, peer group, hopes, goals and dreams. But take extra care on the weekend when the Sun is at odds with your patron planet, Neptune. A personal project could become very confusing, or a professional opportunity may be too good to be true.

JAMIE OLIVER: COOKING FOR LESS

TEN, 6.30pm

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

We all need a holiday every now and then, don’t we?

Since its premiere in 1990, this beloved gardening series has dug its toes into Australian soil – until tonight. After more than 30 years, it’s time to explore the wonders of a different country: our beautiful, biodiverse neighbour Indonesia. In this hour-long special, Costa Georgiadis embarks on an adventure in Sumatra and Jakarta, bringing along co-host Tammy Huynh (both pictured above). We also meet a new face in local guest presenter Sean Salim (above, left).

Featuring tropical fruits, an urban park, the world’s biggest flower and a rainforest conservationist, tonight’s unexpected furlough is a breath of fresh air.

The main ingredient in this no-fuss cooking series is, of course, chef Jamie Oliver (pictured) and his exuberant style. Peppered with endless enthusiasm and a generous sprinkling of zealous commentary– “Come on!” he quips, Lleyton Hewitt style, and his “Look at that!” is perhaps slightly superfluous – it’s nonetheless a winning recipe. It’s easy to fall under Oliver’s engaging spell, especially when he’s so keen to “keep the flavour up, and the cost down”. In tonight’s budget specialities, there’s a meal that makes use of pantry staples and a frozen-berry crumble, as well as takeaway-style homemade crispy pork noodles.

Mercifully, there’s no baked beans in sight.

THE BACHELORS AUSTRALIA

TEN, 7.30pm

The dress code is fancy gowns and tuxedos for this new season premiere of the hardworking Bachelor franchise.

In this 11th Australian instalment, a Melbourne mansion takes over from the sunny Gold Coast location. The tongue-in-cheek, schmaltzy Bridgerton-style voiceover for the promos merely hints at the cocktail of lowbrow fun to be had, with endearing host Osher Günsberg (pictured) sporting a sophisticated silver do. The ritzy fashions and flirtations (and roses) are all for the new trio of Bachelors: Brazilian model and theology student Wesley Senna Cortes; NRL-player-turned-lumberjack Luke Bateman; and model, entrepreneur and environmentalist Ben Waddell.

OzFish to host free angler event at Ballina Surf Club OzFish Unlimited Recreational anglers surrounding the Richmond River are invited to OzFish’s latest fish talk at Ballina Surf Club on Thursday 30 November. It is the latest in OzFish’s Fish Talk series that brings leading experts to share their knowledge with recreational fishing communities across Australia.

Attendance is free, and catering and lucky door prizes are provided.

Richmond River is graded as the NSW

river with the worst water quality and has further suffered with the adverse effects of recent droughts, fires and floods. OzFish has organised this free event to connect the community with leading minds and highlight the waterway’s current challenges while looking through the sustainable fishing lens for future generations.

Commencing at 5:30pm OzFish will provide local anglers with a chance to better understand the research behind species they

love to catch, as well as finding out fishing tips with a local fishing guest speaker.

“This event isn’t just about information; it’s about forward thinking and solutions,” said OzFish Senior Project Officer Taylah Kirk.

“The Richmond River is the heartbeat of towns like Ballina, Lismore, and Woodburn that rely on this incredible waterway for contributions to the region’s economy, health, and recreation.”

“One of the key items for discussion is to

update local fishers on the plight and progress of the Tuckean Swamp.

It’s a hugely important place for fish, it’s the Richmond River’s largest coastal wetland and it’s in such poor health,” said Cassie Price, OzFish’s Director of Habitat Programs, and one of the speakers for the event.

“There is a complexity to restoring it to good health, and we really want people to know more about that, but solutions are within reach.”

Speakers include: • Cassie Price, OzFish, will delve into the plight and progress of the Tuckean Swamp; • Chrisy Clay, Rous County Council Flood Mitigation Manager, will explore the history of the Richmond River estuary and floodplain; • Jim Tait from Econcern Consulting strategies to reintroduce the endangered Eastern Freshwater Cod into the Richmond; • NSW DPI Marine Estate Management team will share insights on the river’s health and the

government’s ongoing restoration effort; •

Three-day sickness arrives early in the North Coast Lab tests have confirmed the presence of Bovine Ephemeral Fever, colloquially known as three-day sickness, among cattle in the far north coast of NSW. This detection has occurred earlier in the season than usual, signalling the likelihood of the disease spreading southward as the season progresses.

Three-day sickness is a viral disease transmitted by insects, primarily affecting cattle by inducing high fevers and causing muscle and joint pain. Typically observed in cattle aged between six months and two years on the North Coast, the disease can also affect adult cattle from outside the region.

Dr. Phil Carter, a District Veterinarian with North Coast Local Land Services, detailed the typical signs of affected cattle, noting that they often isolate themselves,

show reduced appetite, seek shade and water, display shivering, drooling, and lameness.

“Usually, these signs endure for a few days, and most cattle recover without complications.

However, reports from Queensland, where the disease appears earlier, suggest more severe cases this year,” explained Dr. Carter. He cautioned that certain cattle, particularly

bulls and those in robust condition, might take longer to recover, increasing the risk of complications.

Some individuals may experience prolonged periods of weakness due to nerve damage, while pregnant cows could abort, and bulls may face temporary infertility.

Dr. Carter highlighted the disease’s likely spread as temperatures and rainfall rise,

promoting an increase in insect populations that transmit the virus.

With encouragement for producers to monitor their stock and seek veterinary advice if concerned, he stressed the effectiveness of medication in reducing fever, pain, and recovery time.

“Given other diseases resembling three-day sickness, veterinary diagnosis is vital,”

emphasized Dr. Carter.

Providing affected cattle with adequate shade, water, feed, and regular repositioning to prevent secondary complications was advised, preferably in paddocks devoid of steep terrains.

Recovered cattle should not be sent to abattoirs for a few weeks to allow the body time to recuperate and prevent downgrades due to

residual muscle damage.

Where treatments are administered, adhering to withholding periods is crucial.

Dr. Carter also discussed the availability of a vaccine and recommended considering vaccination for introduced stock from outside the region, homebred cattle under two years old, and high-value animals.

He elaborated on the vaccine’s dosing regimen and its potential to offer protection, especially in areas where the virus has yet to manifest significantly.

Producers were encouraged to seek guidance from For further advice contact your North Coast Local Land Services District Veterinarian by calling 1300 795 299 or private veterinary practitioner.

The Australian Macadamia Society (AMS) has unveiled the winners of its prestigious Awards of Excellence, celebrating the outstanding achievements of the nation’s macadamia growers. The industry’s peak body acknowledged the dedication and excellence of these individuals, showcasing their significant contributions to the macadamia sector.

In the category of Grower of the Year for Large Farms, Jason and Fiona Klotz of Red Rock Macadamias in Bundaberg claimed the honor. The Klotz family, with 80 hectares of orchard, achieved an impressive 1.69 tonnes of saleable kernel per hectare (1.69 t/ha SK) on average over the past five seasons. This marks their third win in the last six seasons.

Jason, a fifth-generation farmer, continues a family legacy of farming spanning 150 years.

In the Small Farm category, Gary and Julie Davis of Glendamia Park in the Glass House Mountains region secured the Grower of the Year award. Their 13.8-hectare orchard maintained an average of 1.91 tonnes of saleable kernel per hectare (1.91 t/ha SK) over five seasons. Gary and Julie, with a farming background spanning three generations, established their orchard 25 years ago, with son Mitchell joining the operation in 2015. The family had previously won the Grower of the Year award in 2019.

Additionally, the AMS recognized regional award winners across macadamia growing regions, commending their productivity and quality. The dedication to on-farm innovation, collaboration, and long-term orchard health demonstrated by all recipients highlighted the industry’s commitment to excellence.

Clare HamiltonBate, CEO of AMS, commended the winners, emphasizing

the industry’s reliance on collaboration and innovative thinking.

She acknowledged the vital role of growers in maintaining Australia’s global reputation for high-quality macadamia nuts and world-class production practices.

Australia, recognized as the birthplace of macadamias, boasts approximately 800 growers producing around 50,000 tonnes of nut-in-shell annually. The industry’s commitment to excellence, from on-farm practices to post-harvest handling, contributes to the premium quality of the end product.

The Awards of Excellence not only honor the best in the industry but also underscore the significance of macadamia cultivation in Australia, where wild macadamia trees still thrive. With over 12.5 million commercially planted macadamia trees, the country continues to lead the global market, exporting 80% of its production to more than 40 countries.

As macadamias become an increasingly sought-after and heart-healthy nut, the dedication of growers remains crucial to sustaining the industry’s success.

The AMS Awards of Excellence serve as a testament to the

resilience, innovation, and commitment of Australia’s macadamia growers.

Backing food product claims with evidence Four of Australia’s leading research agencies have unified their efforts to create a groundbreaking isotopic data platform aimed at substantiating claims regarding Australian agricultural and food products’ authenticity and environmental credentials.

Isotopes, distinct chemical markers akin to unique ‘fingerprints,’ offer valuable insights into the origins and cultivation methods of our food. This collaborative venture, supported by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), involves a strategic partnership between CSIRO (Australia’s national science agency), Geoscience Australia, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), and the National Measurement Institute (NMI). Their collective goal is to amalgamate dispersed data into a cohesive national repository.

Data evidence can tell us where food, such as these Australian apples, were grown.

Dr. Nina Welti, an expert in trusted supply chains at CSIRO, emphasized the necessity of integrating the wealth of public isotopic data stored across these organizations.

This convergence aims to address Australia’s challenges in the global market by verifying product origins and credentials, crucial for meeting various international demands, such as Europe’s requirements

for low-emission or deforestation-free commodities.

“Isotopes are not just markers for food; they also provide insights into environmental aspects like soil nutrients and groundwater patterns,” explained Dr. Welti. “Pooling these extensive databases in a trustworthy and accessible manner is pivotal for fostering research for societal welfare and advancing commercial outcomes

within Australia’s agriculture, food, and water systems.”

Ensuring equitable access to verification tools across industries remains a primary objective of this collaborative initiative, led by CSIRO through its Trusted Agrifood Exports Mission. By interlinking datasets and insights along the supply chain, the aim is to enhance Australia’s market access and performance in overseas

markets.

Australia’s agricultural and food exports contribute significantly to the economy, generating approximately $80 billion annually.

Verification tools, such as those provided by CSIRO, play a pivotal role in maintaining existing export markets and accessing new, lucrative markets.

For instance, CSIRO conducts greenhouse gas assessments for

Australian canola, ensuring compliance with the European Union’s standards for biofuel production.

Tim Stobaus, NMI’s Analytical Services manager, highlighted the growing market demand for sustainable agricultural practices.

He underscored the significance of leveraging stable isotope data to bolster innovation and distinguish Australian products based on sustainable farming practices.

This data, crucial for evaluating trade-offs in yield, quality, and management practices, aims to propel Australian agricultural commodities into premium markets while meeting evolving consumer demands.

To ensure relevance, accessibility, and serviceability across diverse sectors, industry use cases, insights from peak bodies, universities, and other research entities will guide the development of this national digital platform.

A sweet outcome for the citrus industry Applications are now open for the citrus industry to weigh in on the new alternative assurance model for citrus packhouses and growers.

Acting Deputy Secretary for Trade, Nicola Hinder PSM, said the model recognises current industry practices and leverages off

commercial systems already in place between packhouses and their grower suppliers.

“To be eligible to export to some markets, citrus growers and packers are required to undertake activities that must be verified through onsite audits by the department,” Ms Hinder said.

“The new alternative

assurance model provides industry with the opportunity to demonstrate compliance with grower requirements through existing commercial systems.

“Packhouses and growers will see a reduction in audit time and charges related to on-farm activities under this model.

“It’s a great example of how government and industry have worked together to reduce regulatory burden and cost, without jeopardising assurance and market requirements.”

General Manager Market Development of Citrus Australia, David Daniels, said the new system has been

piloted over the last two seasons by several high-performing citrus businesses.

“The pilot program has been very successful for industry, reducing audit times in some cases from days to hours,” Mr Daniels said.

“This model represents a great example of how industry and government can

develop a co-regulatory approach to maintaining the citrus industry’s reputation as a safe and reliable supplier of quality products.”

Applications are open for submission now until 1 December 2023.

Australia’s Housing Market Disconnect: $300K+ Incomes Needed for Affordable Homes Suburbtrends Suburbtrends’ latest analysis of over 22,000 property sales in October 2023 has unveiled a disconcerting reality in the Australian housing market. The study highlights a Median Multiple of 9.1, significantly higher than the international benchmark of 3.0, suggesting that medianpriced homes are nine times the average annual income.

Kent Lardner, the chief analyst and founder at Suburbtrends, addresses the critical implications of these findings. “Our research paints a worrying scenario. In Australia, homeownership is increasingly becoming a domain for the affluent.

To reach the ‘affordable’ Median Multiple of 3.0, Australian families need an average income of $301,769. This disparity

is not just a financial issue, it’s a societal crisis, eroding the middle class and widening inequality,” he stated.

In areas such as Adelaide - Central and Hills, the median income required for

affordable housing soars to $278,833, well beyond the reach of most Australians. “This isn’t merely about numbers, it’s about the erosion of the Australian dream.

Homeownership is slipping out of reach for

average earners,” Kent said.

Amidst these challenges, the government’s consideration of shared-equity schemes like ‘Help to Buy’ is noteworthy. Kent

driving the Median Multiple even higher.

Such strategies, though well-intentioned, might only serve as a shortterm solution, potentially exacerbating the longterm affordability crisis,” he highlighted.

Kent emphasises the need for a balanced approach to tackle this issue. “It’s crucial that we not only increase supply but also address the core problem of house prices relative to income. Strategies that worsen this metric could lead to greater pain in the long term. We need solutions that ensure sustainable affordability in the housing market,” he concluded.

The report calls for a multi-faceted strategy, including re-evaluating urban planning and fostering income growth, to address housing affordability comprehensively.

MOTORING NEWS 39

Hyundai’s High-Performance Sonata N Line: Maxed Out but Not Track-Ready for Speed Junkies Hyundai’s Sonata N Line is the pinnacle for those seeking a spicier ride within the Sonata lineup.

However, if you were hoping for a full-fat N version of the Hyundai Sonata, it seems the company has closed the door on that possibility.

The prospects of a high-performance Sonata N have been quashed

by Albert Biermann, the company’s executive technical advisor, who poured cold water on the idea during discussions with Australian media at the launch event of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Biermann made it clear that the Sonata N Line, despite its prowess, doesn’t align with the track-centric philosophy of Hyundai’s N division.

“Sonata N Line is no race track [car],” he emphasized, indicating that the existing platform, which also underpins models like the Tucson and Santa Fe, won’t accommodate a Sonata N in its current form.

The limitations lie in the architecture of the current Sonata, hailed as the third-generation platform by Hyundai.

While the N Line version boasts a robust turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, it falls short of the criteria to be classified as a full-fledged N car.

Hyundai stipulates that all N-branded vehicles must embody a blend of everyday sportiness and track capabilities – what they affectionately term ‘corner rascals.’ Despite sharing an engine with the i30 Sedan N, the Sonata N Line evidently doesn’t meet these stringent criteria.

Hyundai utilizes the N Line nameplate for models like the Sonata N Line that offer augmented power, firmer suspension tunes, and cosmetic enhancements but are not designed for track performance.

In the Australian market, the Sonata N Line stands as the sole variant available, despite other powertrain options like the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre, hybrid 2.0-litre, and turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder being offered overseas. The strategy here is simple:

Hyundai Australia offers the Sonata with the highest specifications and the most potent engine, leaving no other choices beyond selecting the preferred colour.

Moving into the 2024 model year, the facelifted eighth-generation Hyundai Sonata N Line remains the solitary choice for Australian buyers, coming fully loaded at a starting price of $55,500 before on-road costs.

This updated version commands a premium of $3435 compared to its pre-update iteration.

Visually, the refreshed Sonata N Line flaunts revamped 19-inch alloy wheels, redesigned front and rear bumpers, a distinct ‘H’ rear lighting signature, and a hands-free power boot lid. Additionally, a matte exterior paint option has been introduced for the first time, offering a new aesthetic dimension to the vehicle.

Step inside the 2024 Sonata N Line, and you’ll find a new curved display housing a 12.3inch digital instrument cluster alongside a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Further interior updates encompass a steering column-mounted shift-by-wire gear selector, a redesigned steering wheel, touchtype dual-zone climate

controls, 64-color LED ambient interior lighting, acoustic laminated front glass, and front and rear USB-C ports.

Safety features are bolstered in the updated model, now including Intelligent Speed Limit Assist as standard and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Under the hood, the 2024 Hyundai Sonata N Line retains its powerful 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, generating 213kW of power and 422Nm of torque. This powerplant remains paired exclusively with an eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission, driving the front wheels.

The dimensions of the 2024 Sonata N Line measure 4910mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a 2840mm wheelbase. In terms of efficiency, it claims a combined fuel economy of 8.1 litres per 100km, equipped with a 60-litre fuel tank and requiring a minimum of 91 RON regular unleaded petrol.

Regarding safety, while the eighth-generation Sonata is yet to undergo testing by ANCAP or Euro NCAP, the 2024 Sonata N Line is equipped with an array of standard safety equipment. This includes Autonomous Emergency

MOTORING NEWS

Exploring the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: A Fresh Perspective and Review Get ready, Australia! The game-changing arrival is near, setting new benchmarks in tech and performance that stand unmatched.

Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 N appears to have defied convention, creating an electric vehicle that ignites the passion of petrolheads.

This spirited electric marvel boasts staggering speed coupled with a soul-stirring engine note, delivering an exhilarating experience.

Uncharacteristically for a 2.2-tonne EV, it surges through gear shifts and carves corners with a finesse that defies its weight.

Till Wartenberg, head of Hyundai’s performance N brand, articulates the essence succinctly as we take the electrified N for a spin at South Korea’s F1 circuit and then onto winding back roads.

To earn its N badge, the retro-styled Ioniq 5 needed to excel on the racetrack while remaining practical for everyday use. A challenge indeed, considering EVs are often synonymous with a lack of auditory appeal and emotional connection.

Hyundai took a leap into the future, blending cutting-edge electronics with clever manipulations to fashion a hyper-hatch that tantalizes the senses.

The vehicle is equipped with eight internal and

two external speakers, orchestrating an orchestra of virtual sounds synched to RPM, speed, and torque data. While modes like the supersonic jet or high-pitched EV might feel reminiscent of video games, one mode remarkably mirrors the growl of a four-cylinder petrol race car. The authenticity of these sounds, including popping backfires upon throttle lift-off, is astonishing.

The illusion extends further with the N e-Shift feature, simulating gear changes akin to a dual-clutch transmission and even mimicking an 8000rpm rev limiter with throttle blips on downshifts. While contrived, these elements

seamlessly from track 0-100km/h in a blistering beast to comfortable road In eco mode, it’s 3.4 seconds cruiser. eerily quiet, boasting enrich the driving engagement in a way unseen in other EVs. Under the hood lies the most powerful Hyundai ever built, sporting dual motors generating a combined 448kW and 740Nm. An additional ‘N Grin Mode’ temporarily boosts power by 30kW and 30Nm for ten seconds, catapulting the car from 0-100km/h in a blistering 3.4 seconds and topping out at 260km/h.

Despite this astounding performance, the Ioniq 5 N addresses concerns regarding an EV’s track longevity. Clever cooling systems, advanced battery thermal management,

and an ‘endurance’ mode ensure sustained performance, promising two laps (42km) at the Nürburgring without a drop in prowess.

The vehicle offers configurable torque distribution, a drift mode, adjustable damping, and an electronic limited-slip differential, demanding an in-depth dive into settings reminiscent of a teenage gamer’s obsession. While this level of customization might overwhelm traditional performance drivers, it amplifies the car’s addictiveness.

Impressively, the Ioniq 5 N transitions

a smart suspension that cushions the ride despite 21-inch forged aluminium wheels and high-performance Pirelli tires. It comfortably accommodates five passengers, presenting twin 12.3-inch screens and ample storage, albeit with some interior materials feeling less premium than its price suggests.

Speaking of price, the Ioniq 5 N, priced at about $120,000 drive-away, positions itself as the priciest Hyundai to date, albeit a steal compared to luxury performance cars.

Hyundai’s safety features and a five-year warranty,

even for non-timed track use, add value.

Additionally, the vehicleto-load feature allows the car to serve as a power source, enhancing its practicality.

Beyond its rapid acceleration, the Ioniq 5 N’s fast-charging capability, recharging from 10-80% in just 18 minutes, solidifies its position as a frontrunner in the electric performance segment.

In summary, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N breaks barriers, delivering an electric performance car that enthrals with its engaging driving dynamics and addictive thrills.

Specifications: • Price: About $120,000 drive-away • Power: Dual electric motors, 448kW and 740Nm • Warranty/Service: Five years/unlimited km, Capped service price not available • Safety: Eight airbags, auto emergency braking, radar cruise, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear crosstraffic alert, 360-degree camera • Range: 448km • Luggage: 527 litres • Spare: Repair kit

2024 Toyota Camry Unveiled: Embracing Hybrid Power Across the Board The curtains have been drawn on the new-generation 2024 Toyota Camry, making its grand debut in the US with an exclusive hybrid powertrain and a groundbreaking optional all-wheel-drive system for the first time in its storied lineage.

Scheduled for an Australian release in the latter part of the upcoming year, this latest iteration of the Camry, an emblematic presence in Toyota’s lineup since its inception in 1982, bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor. The ninth-generation XV80series Camry inherits the TNGA-K platform from its forerunner, albeit sporting a more assertive front-end design reminiscent of the Prius, accentuated by harmonizing tail-lights.

Despite these aesthetic

updates, much of the defining body contours and character lines of the current Camry have been retained.

However, it’s a different story within the vehicle. The interior has undergone a significant transformation, adopting a new rectangular theme to replace the outgoing model’s curved lines.

This redesign appears to liberate additional cabin space, enhancing the overall ambience.

Notably, Toyota has

seamlessly integrated their next-generation wide-screen infotainment interface into the dash, aligning it with the digital instrument cluster and situated above a simplified center stack and rectangular console. Fresh seating arrangements, updated connectivity services, wireless smartphone mirroring, charging capabilities, and an expanded array of USB ports (including both USB-A and USB-C) further enrich the interior

experience.

The North American market will offer four distinct model grades: LE, XLE, SE, and XSE. The latter two, with a more sporty inclination, differentiate themselves from the former pair with designs that boast aggressive air ducts, functional front canards, a rear diffuser, and a rear lip spoiler. The flagship XSE takes it a step further, sporting a unique body-colored ‘sports’ grille.

Under the bonnet

of every variant lies a newly-crafted 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain, replacing the absence of a V6 option this time around, even in the US market. This powertrain is projected to deliver an “estimated” 168kW in front-wheeldrive guise and 173kW in all-wheel-drive configuration. While the AWD offering will come at an undisclosed premium across the US lineup, it’s unlikely that Australia will see

the introduction of all-wheel-drive versions, considering the existing all-hybrid front-drive Camry lineup, excluding the entry-level Ascent.

Toyota USA promises a refined suspension setup aimed at delivering sharper dynamics and improved ride comfort across the board.

However, the SE and XSE variants will sport their own bespoke ‘sport-tuned’ suspension, aligning perfectly with their more athletic persona.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Max Crus

How now brown car? hat kind of person buys a brown car?

There is no shade of brown for a car that has any aesthetic merit, yet.

Yet presumably there’s enough demand that a few manufacturers offer such a ghastly colour.

Possibly that number is down to one. Holden always had one. Falcon too.

W

Studebaker’s shade was almost nice. SAAB had one but that could have been arctic grot from thawing Icelandic roads.

You can see a pattern, none of these cars are made any more, leaving Fiat as perhaps the only brand brave enough and surely it’s so little in demand it is an optional extra. Possibly you could order metallic

brown, but why? It brings to mind the old adage about polishing a turd, which highlights the one benefit of a brown car: there is no point washing it.

You might want to sell your Fiat shares.

Actually there’s another benefit – no-one steals brown cars, not even bank robbers.

“The Woop Woop

Commonwealth Bank branch was robbed today.

Police are not on the lookout for a brown Fiat.”

Which suggests another benefit to brown cars, and answers why anyone would buy such a thing - you will be noticed.

People are drawn to brown - “Geez, there’s a brown car. Why would you do that?” “Who buys a

brown car?” “Look Daddy, there’s a brown car.”

Kids don’t pick brown for road trip car games.

Okay, what about that retro colour that a few Toyotas and funny little Hyundais come in?

That colour is Khaki Toyota call it Sandy Taupe, who is also a country and western singer - and makes buyers feel cool and retro.

Anything that helps people with low self-esteem and poor colour sense feel better about themselves is good.

Paradoxically, brown is quite acceptable in other facets of life, not the least wine labels, although it’s noteworthy that Wolf Blass no longer makes a Brown Label, and, actually, it’s pretty hard to find any others :

Campbells Rutherglen Merchant Prince Rare Muscat (NV), $150 (375ml). It pours like motor oil from a brown car, even looks like it, and yes, some motor oils are also eye-wateringly expensive but none provide the pleasure of this ‘Rare’ offering. Rutherglen muscat is categorised into four groups : Rutherglen (entry level), Classic, Grand and Rare. All of

them are pretty good, but Rare is next level and this deserves its moniker.

9.8/10.

Henschke Eden Valley Hill of Grace Shiraz 2013, $950 (Current release 2018). The lunch was planned around the time these grapes were picked, such are special occasions deserving a special wine.

Yes, HoG is always impressive and quite a step above most wines, and this

got better and better until it was gone. But it’s still just wine and $1000 for six glasses is excessive, indeed obscene, for all but those who don’t pay tax. Alas we do. 9.8/10.

(Stone and Wood) Plonk! White wine inspired Sour Ale, $25 (2 x 500ml, 6.8%).

You may baulk at this following overwhelmingly underwhelming experience with other trendy, out-

there, try-hard beers, let’s just be weird, e.g. fruit beers, but you would be missing out, It’s worth a crack, whether wine lover or not and you might even buy another. 9.5/10.

(Stone and Wood) Éirinn Irish Cream Stout, $25 (2 x 500ml, 7%). What a smell! And the thick, sweet, creamy blackness slips down with barely a hint of bitterness and adult stuff. But is it too much?

Yes. It is as it sounds which some will love, but for Guinness lovers and most others, too sweet.

9/10.

Monkey Place Creek Hunter Valley Semillon 2022, $23. Sounds like a Kurt Vonnegut book or a great wine to have on the menu at Taronga Park.

Surely there’s a delightful story behind a place called Monkey Place Creek, and what better wine to share

while you find out. 9.3/10.

Monkey Place Creek Shiraz 2022, $31. And here’s that story…Monkey Place Creek is behind vineyards at Broke where koalas were mistaken for monkeys by convict roadbuilders. Maybe it’s time to correct the situation although chances are it’s no longer a place for koalas…or monkeys. Good place for grapes though.

9.2/10.

RACGP welcomes opioid dependence medicine decision The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has warmly welcomed the Albanese Government acting to stop vulnerable patients who rely on opioid dependence treatment drugs falling between the cracks of our health system and called for the Government to pursue a long-term solution.

Earlier this year, the College applauded the Albanese Government’s decision to add lifesaving opioid dependence treatment medicines, such as methadone and buprenorphine, to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which will result in patients facing out-of-pocket costs of $30 a month, rather than $5 to $15 every day. However, as part of the changes, GPs who have been ordering treatments directly from manufacturers to administer in their practice had to stop doing so from 30 November.

RACGP President Dr Nicole Higgins said

that the Government had listened to the concerns of the RACGP and delayed the impending ban on GPs administering opioid dependence treatment medicines, including long-acting buprenorphine, as a private script until 30 June next year.

“This is the right decision,” she said.

“The delay will ensure that there is minimal disruption to patient care over the busy

holiday period and give the state and territory governments more time to transition patients to Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme arrangements or to implement alternative opioid dependence treatment access arrangements for patients.

“As I have said previously, the College is supportive of increased access to opioid dependency therapy through pharmacy.

However, we believe

that GPs still have a vital role to play, and GPs and community pharmacists can and should work together to make sure that as many people as possible with opioid dependency get the help they need. Let’s get these medicines into the hands of more people who need them and save lives. It is the same as patients with diabetes accessing lifesaving insulin, this is a medical intervention that can help people in communities across

Australia.”

RACGP Alcohol and Other Drug Spokesperson Dr Hester Wilson backed Dr Higgins’ comments and called for a long-term solution.

“This decision is just what the doctor ordered, and it will help save lives,” she said.

“I understand that the Department of Health and Aged Care will be working with the states and territories to make sure that GPs

have continued access to long acting injectable buprenorphine and has encouraged those jurisdictions which restrict pharmacies from administering Schedule 8 drug injections to amend their regulations.

“This is another positive step forward, but let’s not stop here.

I call on the federal Government to not only delay the proposed changes to 30 June 2024, but instead find a longterm solution that allows direct access to longacting buprenorphine.

Otherwise, we may well see negative impacts on some of our most vulnerable patients who rely on this treatment.

There is so much more we can do to help people with alcohol and other drug problems, and that includes ensuring that all patients have access to the care and treatment they need. At the end of the day, every life matters, it’s as simple as that.”

Roy Morgan Poll Will a new Aged Care Act deliver? on Federal voting intention shows third straight weekly decline for the ALP Government: ALP 49.5% cf.

L-NP 50.5% The Coalition on 50.5% (up 0.5% from a week ago) now leads the ALP on 49.5% (down 0.5%) on a twoparty preferred basis according to the latest Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention conducted over the last week.

The result matches the low-point the Albanese Government reached immediately after the defeat of ‘The Voice’ referendum in mid-October and is the third straight week of declines for the Government.

On primary vote the Coalition is now on

37.5%, up 1% from a week ago, and clearly ahead of the ALP on 29.5%, down 0.5%.

The Greens are on 13.5%, up 0.5%, and One Nation is on 6.5%, up 0.5%.

There has been a loss of support for both Independents on 7%, down 1% and Other Parties on 6%, down 0.5%.

The latest Roy Morgan Poll is based on interviewing a representative crosssection of 1,401 Australian electors from November 13-19, 2023.

Older people want human rights baked into the new Aged Care Act. Here’s what else the government needs to fix.

Older Australians and those close to them want human rights embedded in a new Aged Care Act. This is the major thrust of a joint submission to the Federal Government, on behalf of 13 peak organisations representing older people and carers.

National Seniors Australia has been working to shape feedback to government, contributing to the development of a joint submission and pushing for a human rights focus.

As National Seniors Chief Operating Officer Chris Grice has said, “Creating an Aged Care Act and system explicitly built on a human-rights approach will empower older people to expect and claim quality, safe care as their right.”

Importantly, the submission was based on direct information gathered from older Australians and other

stakeholders and presents several key findings to the Federal Government.

The submission calls on government to develop mechanisms to monitor and enforce the rights of older people.

It also calls for an implementation plan to outline how rights will be embedded into daily aged-care operations to ensure it works in practice to protect older people.

Enforcement As Craig Gear, CEO of Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) has noted, “A significant number of older people also told us that the Act won’t be worth the paper it is written on if it isn’t supported by the necessary regulatory levers and enforcement pathways.”

The submission wants the Federal Government to ensure any future complaints system is person-centred, robust, and effective, with alternative ways of handling complaints, overseen by a statutory Complaints Commissioner.

It also recommends that supported decision-making be the foundation of decisionmaking in aged care, with an assumption that older people can make decisions for themselves.

As Council on the Ageing (COTA) Australia CEO Patricia Sparrow has said, “For too long, older Australians, whether due to systemic ageism or other factors, have not been given ownership of their lives when the time comes for them to access aged care. It’s time that changed.”

But as CEO of Carers Australia Jane BacotKilpatrick has argued, it’s not just people receiving care. She has called for the new Act to be “carer inclusive” to ensure family and friends helping older people are adequately recognised and supported.

Embrace diversity In supporting the submission, Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) CEO Mary Ann Baquero Geronimo has also raised the

HEALTH & SENIORS NEWS 45

New technology, ‘Invasion-Block’, targets melanoma spread Research conducted at the Centenary Institute has given rise to a ground-breaking tool called ‘Invasion-Block’ that can identify drugs capable of halting the spread of cancer cells. The pioneering development could lead to better treatments for melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

An automated highcontent screening platform, ‘InvasionBlock’ is designed to measure the invasive capacity of cancer cells.

A revolutionary tool, it enables scientists to assess how well various drugs and compounds can prevent the spread of cancer.

In the recently published study, ‘Invasion-Block’ was employed to investigate the invasive behaviour of melanoma cells, particularly their ability to infiltrate other parts of the body. It was used in conjunction with a custom-designed image analysis program called ‘S-MARVEL’, to screen thousands of compounds,

including drugs that are already approved for use in people.

Dr Shweta Tikoo, senior study researcher affiliated with both the Centenary Institute and the Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Vienna said that melanoma is an extremely challenging disease.

“Melanoma is a tough opponent, often spreading rapidly and making it difficult to treat. The key to finding better treatments lies in drug discovery and this is where the ‘InvasionBlock’ tool plays a pivotal role,” said Dr Tikoo.

Excitingly for the researchers, ‘Invasion Block’ revealed that drugs that blocked a class of enzymes –

known as Abl/Src, PKC, PI3K, and ATM kinases – made melanoma cells much less able to invade other tissues.

“This suggests these enzymes may hold the key to finding treatments that can help curb the spread of melanoma,” said Dr Dajiang Guo, the first author of the study, currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Weill Cornell Medicine.

Intriguingly, the researchers further used CRISPR technology to ‘turn-off’ the gene responsible for expressing ATM kinase in melanoma cells. In doing so they observed that the melanoma cells became less invasive in laboratory tests and didn’t spread as much to the lymph nodes when tested in mice.

Dr Shweta Tikoo and Dr Dajiang Guo

“We believe that ATM may serve as a potent therapeutic target for treating the spread of melanoma in patients,” said Dr Tikoo.

The researchers say the study is a significant step in the fight against melanoma, offering fresh hope to patients while laying the groundwork for further studies and the development of new and better treatments.

“The combination of ‘Invasion-Block’ and ‘S-MARVEL’ is opening new avenues in the search for drugs that can arrest the spread of cancer,” said Dr Tikoo.

The study was coheaded by Dr Rohit Jain, Professor Wolfgang Weninger and Dr Shweta Tikoo with all three senior authors being co-affiliated with the Centenary Institute and the Medical University of Vienna.

The research was published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences

Learn First Aid and Save a Life This Summer Australian Red Cross Aussie summers can be harsh, and we know nothing derails summer holiday plans more than an unexpected trip to Emergency.

Recognising the potential risks associated with the summer season, Australian Red Cross is urging more Australians to complete First Aid training in preparation for the summer months, when holidaymakers spend more time on the road, in the ocean and exploring outdoors.

From November to February each year, Australians face heightened exposure to summer hazards – including drowning, heat stroke, snake bites, jellyfish stings and motor vehicle accidents.

Alarming statistics from previous

summers, recorded by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, revealed 20x more hospitalisations for weather-related injuries and 7x more hospitalisations for drownings or submersion injuries, compared to the number recorded in winter of the same year.

Unfortunately, fewer than 5 per cent of people in Australia are trained in first aid, one of the lowest rates in the world.

Head of First Aid and Mental Health Training, Wendy Greenhalf, says the holiday period is a relaxing time of year for Australians but also a time when we need to be ready.

“Summer holidays can present multiple hazards as holiday makers are typically in the water a lot more, spending more time outside, in hot

temperatures, on the road travelling, entertaining or adventuring in remote areas.” Ms Greenhalf said.

“Because of this, accidents and emergencies are more likely to happen during the summer months, however Australian Red Cross can help Australians learn how to respond effectively through first aid training, enabling them to feel empowered and confident in any situation.”

Andrew Clark completed Australian Red Cross’ First Aid training course in 2022 and recently put his skills into practice in a real-life situation.

“I was out at dinner and a family member started choking. I quickly remembered what I had learnt in the training

and started giving him back blows in an upward motion, and after 5-10 seconds the food was dislodged. I can still remember the look of relief on his face.”

Get ready for summer by booking a First Aid course by Australian Red Cross, offered via virtual, blended or inperson course delivery.

Available now: • General First Aid courses (blended, refresher or virtual course) • CPR Training (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) • First Aid kits (motorist, backpackfriendly or modular kits) Australian Red Cross also offers courses in First Aid for Babies and Children, Mental Health First Aid and Pet First Aid.

Masport 486 3’n1 Petrol Lawn Mower Review The Masport 486 3’n1 Petrol Lawn Mower represents a significant innovation in the realm of garden maintenance, embodying a fusion of efficiency, durability, and versatility.

This review aims to provide an unbiased perspective, highlighting both its strengths and areas where it may fall short.

Firstly, the Masport 486 stands out for its remarkable versatility.

Its 3’n1 feature, offering catching, mulching, and side discharge options, caters to a variety of lawn care needs. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for gardeners who require a multi-functional tool.

The mower’s 486cc engine ensures robust performance, tackling thick grass with ease.

This power, coupled with a user-friendly design, translates into a smooth mowing experience.

The mower’s build quality is another commendable aspect.

Constructed with a sturdy steel chassis, it promises longevity and resilience against wear and tear. The adjustable cutting heights add to its versatility, allowing users to achieve the desired lawn finish.

Moreover, the large catcher capacity

reduces the need for frequent emptying, enhancing efficiency.

However, the Masport 486 is not without its drawbacks. Its notable weight, a consequence of the robust build, might pose a challenge for some users, especially when maneuvering in tight spaces or on uneven terrain. This aspect could be a considerable limitation for those with smaller lawns or limited storage space.

Another point of contention is the noise level. While expected in petrol mowers, it is noticeably louder than some of its competitors, which could be a concern in noise-sensitive areas. Additionally, the maintenance requirements, typical of petrol engines, may be a deterrent for those seeking a lowmaintenance solution.

Ultimately, the Masport 486 3’n1 Petrol Lawn Mower is a commendable choice for those valuing power, durability, and versatility.

While its weight and maintenance needs are considerations to bear in mind, its performance and adaptability make it a worthy investment for serious gardeners.

Grey Water Gardening: A Sustainable Approach to Plant Nourishment In an era where water conservation is not just an environmental buzzword, but a necessity, grey water gardening offers a sustainable solution for the current El Nina conditions. Grey water refers to gently used water from sinks, showers, and washing machines that can be recycled for garden use.

By diverting grey water from the sewer or septic system to your garden, you can significantly reduce potable water use and promote a more sustainable gardening practice. Here’s how you can effectively and safely use grey water for gardening.

Understanding Grey Water: Before diving in, it’s essential to differentiate between grey water and other types of wastewaters. Unlike black water, which comes from toilets and contains faecal matter, grey water is relatively clean. Still, it can contain residues like soap and grease which, while not harmful in moderate amounts, need to be managed properly.

Choose the Right Sources: All grey water is not created equal. The best sources for garden use are bathroom sinks, bathtubs, showers, and washing machines. Avoid water from the kitchen sink or dishwasher as it often contains food particles, grease, and heavier contaminants.

Selecting Plants: Grey water is typically slightly alkaline due to soap residues. While many plants can tolerate this, acid-loving plants like blueberries or azaleas may not thrive with grey water irrigation. Focus on ornamental plants, trees, and fruiting vegetables, which generally respond well.

Designing a Grey Water System: • Direct Bucketing: The simplest method involves using a bucket to collect water from showers or washing machines and then carrying it out to the garden.

• Diverter Systems: These are slightly more complex, diverting water from sources like your washing machine directly to your garden through a hose or pipe.

• Filtered Systems: For a more sophisticated setup, consider systems that filter the grey water before it reaches the plants, removing larger particles and contaminants.

Soil and Mulch Basins: When using grey water, it’s advisable to

discharge it into mulch or soil basins rather than directly onto plants. This allows the grey water to be filtered naturally by the soil, reducing the direct impact of any soap residues or contaminants.

Over time, the mulch or soil will break down these residues, further benefiting the plants.

Use Plant-Friendly Products: If you’re planning to use grey water for gardening, choose soaps and detergents that are biodegradable and free from salts, boron, and bleach. These chemicals can harm plants and build up in the soil over time. Many eco-friendly products on the market are both plant- and soil-safe.

Rotate with Fresh Water: Even with the best precautions, occasional residue buildup can occur. To mitigate this, periodically water your garden with fresh water.

This practice helps flush out any accumulations and keeps the soil balanced.

Safety First: • Avoid Storing: Grey water should be used

within 24 hours to prevent bacterial build up. Unlike rainwater, it isn’t suitable for long-term storage.

• Drip Irrigation Caution: While drip systems are excellent for conserving water, they can clog when used with grey water due to small particles and soap residues. If you opt for this method, ensure your grey water is finely filtered.

• Avoid Edibles: It’s generally recommended to avoid using grey water directly on edible parts of plants, especially root vegetables. If you do wish to irrigate food plants, use the grey water on the soil, not the plants themselves, and wash any produce thoroughly before consumption.

Local Regulations: Always check local regulations before setting up a grey water system. While many regions encourage such sustainable practices, there might be guidelines on system installation, permissible water sources, and usage.

Grey water gardening embodies a holistic approach to sustainability, turning waste into a valuable resource. With a little forethought and understanding, you can not only conserve water but also foster a lush, thriving garden. As the saying goes, “waste not, want not,” and when it comes to grey water, this adage rings truer than ever.

By Tim Howard Coutts Crossing have their noses in front of CRCA Premier League cricket titleholders GDSC Easts going into day two of their match at Ellem Oval, Grafton.

Playing in just their second game of the season due to a combination of rain and byes in the competition, Coutts struggled to be all out for 102 in the 50th over.

But their bowlers responded to the challenge and have the premiers reeling at 6/75 at stumps on day one.

Coutts won the toss and batted under heavy skies and with plenty of moisture in the deck.

Opener Bill North dug in to top score with 31, but it was heavy going after the loss of two early wickets.

He found an ally in Eli Fahey, 24 who was uncharacteristically subdued, taking 82 balls to compute his runs.

Easts opening bowler Shannon Connor bowled 25 overs unchanged and took 5/48 in the game against Coutts Crossing at Ellem Oval.

The other key wicket was Connor, who has been a big contributor with ball and bat for Easts for several season.

When he fell, caught and bowled to Hayden Woods, for 2, Coutts sniffed a chance for an important win.

Luke Hayman battled hard for 18 but when Jeff Hardy bowled him and Patrick Brophy for a duck soon after the innings was in trouble.

Hardy and Woods took two wickets. Ted Lobsey is not out on 6 after batting stubbornly, facing 39 balls.

At Ulmarra Showground another low-scoring game is evenly balanced between Tucabia Copmanhurst and Lawrence.

Opener Tim Bultitude carried his bat to be 66no as Tucabia collapsed spectacularly to be all out for 119 in the 49th over.

Lawrence, at 4/79, are in a good position

to snatch first innings points, but much will depend on the not out batters Doug Harris, 19no and Darby Rouse, 17no.

Bultitude and fellow opener Andrew Ellis looked like making Lawrence rue the decision to send them in.

But when Luke Moloney caught Ellis from the bowling of Jarrod Ensbey the game changed spectacularly.

The rest of the order could muster just 25 between them as Jarrod Ensbey, 4/44 knocked over the top order Ben Shaw, 3/37, ran riot through the middle order.

With a modest total to chase Lawrence lost early wickets including key veterans Mark Ensbey 2, and Nathan Ensbey, 2.

Nathan Anderson, 14 and Luke Moloney 15 scored handy runs, but it was Rouse and Harris who dug in at the end put their team in control at the half-way point.

By Tim Howard In a month where Aussie cricketers from internationals to third graders have stunned the world, Harwood’s Dean Carroll’s has added his name to the list.

Carroll, coming in at No. 3 against Maclean United, smashed 260 not out out of his team’s total of 4/319 n 40 overs.

Carroll clubbed 18 sixes and 26 fours to notch 212 of his runs in boundaries.

And according to team mates, did not offer a chance during his innings.

Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell, at the ICC World Cup, have attracted most of the cricketing headlines in the past month, but even they have been forced to share the limelight.

Just a few weeks ago Gold Coast third grader Gareth Morgan hit the headlines with his incredible bowling effort.

Captaining Mudgeeraba against Surfers Paradise, his team needed six wickets and was five runs from defeat when the

skipper brought himself on to bowl.

Six balls and six wickets later he had turned a heavy loss into a miracle win and created a sports story that went around the world.

Carroll’s effort last Saturday began in a similar low-key fashion.

“We’re a fairly young team and a couple of the older players were away for this game,” said Carroll, the team captain.

“We were playing Maclean’s first grade side, so I thought it might be good if I could stick around.

“I thought if we could play pretty steady and not lose too many wickets in the first 20 overs we could set it up from there.”

Carroll’s two sons also play in the team and the eldest, Max, opened the innings.

Things went nearly to script. Campbell Kelly opened the blowing for Maclean and started with a maiden.

But things went down hill for the bowlers midway through Kelly’s second over when

he bowled the young Carroll, bringing dad to the crease.

Maclean’s attack got a glimpse of what was to come in the sixth over, Kelly’s third, when Carroll got off the mark with a four. A two followed and then another boundary.

For the next 34 overs the carnage erupted, and the bowling figures reflect it.

Kelly’s respectable 1/15 from four overs became 1/49 from eight, but he was not the worst. Brady Walker had 1/3 from two overs and finished with 1/84 from eight.

James Micallef found bowling no laughing matter, as his seventh

over went for 29 and he finished with 0/71 from his eight. And Michael Essex floated down five overs that went for 50.

Glenn Armer, with 2/32 from seven overs, provided the only relief for the fielders, although with 13 coming from his final over, he may have escaped lightly.

Carroll said he could still barely believe the innings happened, even several days later.

“They were coming off pretty well,” he said.

“It was just luck for me they were hitting the middle and bad luck for the bowlers that I wasn’t missing them. It doesn’t happen that way all the time.

Doing a Glen Maxwell, Harwood’s Dean Carroll blasts one of his 26 fours and 18 sixes on the way to 260no against Maclean on November 18.

“I don’t know how I did it, I normally lose my way, but on Saturday they just kept coming out.”

Carroll said he thought he might have given a slight chance in his innings.

“There was one I edged down past the stumps, but that was about the only chance,” he said.

Carroll’s cricket career has been stop start.

“I played cricket as a junior in Queensland, but didn’t play after that until I came to work at Maclean,” he said.

Well into his 40s, his ability shone through and he quickly moved through the grades until he found himself playing in Harwood’s premier league team, where he was the leading wicket taker last season.

“I decided I would go back to seconds so I could have a game with my two boys, Max and Sam,” he said.

“Cricket’s a good sport and it’s good for their character development.”

Carroll likes to keep his celebrations low key.

“We had a few beers after the game and that

was about it,” he said.

“Mum summed it up best for me when she heard my score.

“She said ‘you mustn’t have given anyone else a bat’, and that was about it.”

And he said even a few days after the game, he was still stiff and sore, although he said it might have been swinging at the 123 balls he faced rather than the minimal running he did.

“These days I pull up sore after every game,” he said.

It might also have been the 40 overs of wicketkeeping he did when Harwood took the field.

Harwood needed his runs as Maclean reached a more than respectable 8/222 from their 40 overs, keeping their losing margin to double figures – just.

And Essex managed to restore some balance to his personal ledger, finishing 37 not out from 15 balls, with three fours and three sixes, coming in at number 11.

If only he’d gone in earlier.
