Aged care suffers Covid outbreaks

MATTHEW BELL AND TONIA DYNAN Aged care facilities around the country are under pressure Covid-19 outbreaks in the wake of the omicron variant. The Bupa aged care facility in Ballina is one of the many facilities managing an outbreak. “There are currently two residents that have tested positive and are isolating from other residents. A few team members have recovered, with only eleven staff currently impacted,” a Bupa spokesperson said. On January 8, 15 team members and a resident had tested positive to Covid-19,

death in northern NSW – an unvaccinated man in his 70s that passed away overnight on Tuesday, January 4 at the Bupa facility. It was reported the man was living in palliative care and had chosen not to be vaccinated against Covid-19. The home is currently closed to all visitors and residents remain within their own communities to minimise movement within the building. A Bupa spokesperson said that staff can arrange virtual visits using digital devices to stay connected to loved ones. Carol Da-Re’s mother is a resident of the Bupa Ballina and says the facility is proactive in keeping families updated.

“We receive regular emails from the General Manager of Bupa on the protocols they have in place for testing etc, number of staff in isolation.” [sic] close to regular levels and arrangements have been made for unexpected absences which includes employing external agency staff when needed. New data from the federal health department shows that there are 7014 active cases of Covid-19 across 1107 aged care homes across Australia. Of the 7014 active cases, 3208 residents have the virus along with 3806 staff members. Since July 2021, the sector has recorded 278 covid

related deaths. With aged care worker infection rates making up more than half of the active cases, there are concerns that elderly residents are not getting an adequate level of care. Aged & Community Services Australia CEO Paul Sadler is calling on the federal government to take urgent action. “It is true that people in aged care are missing essential care because there simply aren’t enough staff to provide the care that older people require,” he said. As workers are forced to make decisions on what duties they should prioritise, Mr Sadler admits the residents are suffering the

consequences. He said, “we are having to have the scarce staff to prioritise essential tasks like personal care over the support tasks such as domestic cleaning.” Mr Sadler highlighted that part of the problem was the lack of accessibility to rapid antigen tests (RATs) to get workers back into the facilities. The federal government made RATs available to residential aged care facilities and short-term restorative care in high transmissionrisk areas and experiencing outbreaks. However, due to the increasing case numbers aged care facilities are struggling to access testing kits.

Tear down the barrier

MARGARET DEKKER

After standing for almost six months, the hard and for some confronting checkpoint between Queensland and New South Wales, established by the Queensland government in July 2021 to ‘keep Queenslanders safe’ from Covid-19, has come down. What was intended to be a month-long intervention became almost six months before Main Roads workers removed plastic barricades and dismantled portable buildings and marquees last Friday, ahead of the official reopening of the border at 1am on Saturday, January 15. Now, all domestic travellers including residents of the Tweed no longer require a border pass or have to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test to travel to Queensland. On Monday,

Queensland had recorded more than two hundred thousand (209,962) active cases of Covid-19 in the state. “It’s a big decision, but it’s a decision that’s needed as we reach the peak of this omicron wave and operationally, the police are needed at the front line,” Annastacia Palaszczuk, Queensland Premier, announced on Friday. Queensland Police Service, with initial support from the Australian Army, spent 192,000 hours manning 11 border checkpoints, primarily on the M1

at Currumbin (near Stewarts Road), the Gold Coast Highway at Bilinga, and at Ducat and Griffith Streets in Tweed Heads with smaller checkpoints dotted along the length of the border. With 88.6 per cent of Queenslanders over 16 now fully vaccinated, Dr John Gerrard, Queensland Chief Health Officer, said the border restrictions had “done their job”. “The border restrictions have served their purpose and that was to allow every Queenslander access to the vaccine, “Now the virus, as

including border passes, a border bubble, a regional roadmap to recovery, public health order breaches and vaccine mandates,” Cr. Cherry said. Cr Cherry said the news would be a welcome relief for residents, families and small businesses who are doing it tough at present. “The past two years have been incredibly difficult for all people across much of Australia, and particularly here on the NSW-QLD border where our communities are so interwoven,” Cr Cherry said. “We are relieved the border will finally come down so our residents, families and small businesses, who have suffered so much under the lengthy border restrictions, will have one less stress to worry about while they grapple with the rising Covid-19 outbreak which is currently sweeping across our community.”

The job has been done and these borders are no longer required.” Dr John Gerrard, Queensland Chief Health Officer said. There were tears of both joy and wonder from locals as the border re-opened; joy that travel between the states and particularly the ‘Twin Towns’ of Tweed Heads and Coolangatta was free again for all Australians - with unvaccinated Queenslanders south of the border now able to return home - but wonder too about the value of the sustained checkpoint. “In light of the 1am end to border restrictions, besides tears of joy across our border communities, there will also be a great and deeply felt sigh of relief.

Maclean ED doctor reprimanded TIM HOWARD A Maclean emergency department doctor found to have provided inadequate care to two patients in 2018, was a “train wreck waiting to happen” according to evidence from his peers. The Health Care Complaints Commission prosecuted a case against Dr Arkadi Bronstein before the NSW Administrative Appeals Tribunal in November last year. After hearing evidence that the doctor in June 2018 had provided inadequate care and attention to two Maclean Hospital emergency department patients – known as Patient A and Patient B – of unsatisfactory professional conduct and professional misconduct. It issued a reprimand but did not suspend the doctor, saying it could be construed as “punitive” in nature and instead imposed a raft of protective orders.

These included a ban on his working in any capacity in an emergency department and ordering he not work without two other registered medical practitioners being present. It imposed a limit to his time at work to 32 hours a week and limited the number of patients he saw daily to 24. It also ordered practitioners monitor his record keeping, diagnoses, prescribing practices, patient communication and other practices. Bronstein told the tribunal he thought the reprimand unnecessary and and had been suspended for seven months from early 2019. He told the tribunal he had been working subject to supervision for two and a half years without incident, so there was no utility in imposing further conditions on him. He has obtained a position in a medical practice commencing this month

and had recently passed an entrance examination for the practice experience program run by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. The tribunal was critical of the way Dr Bronstein handled the case. They were concerned he did not appear before them in person. “The fact that the respondent (Dr Bronstein) did not appear before the tribunal has placed it at a distinct disadvantage,” it noted. “The tribunal has not had explanation for certain matters pertaining to his conduct; whether he accepts that his conduct falls short of the requisite standards; and whether he has any insight into such conduct; or more importantly whether he has an awareness that such conduct is unacceptable. “Nor is there any evidence of remorse. Instead, the tribunal has been required to rely upon expert opinions

and submissions from the respondent’s legal representatives.” The tribunal acknowledged that staff at GBH, where the respondent had been engaged prior to his appointment to MDH, had expressed grave concerns concerning his ability to conduct an emergency department practice. In correspondence, prior to his appointment, the respondent had been referred to as a “train wreck waiting to happen”. Opinions to the same effect were expressed by others in the medical practice. The tribunal also obtained references from previous employers who acknowledged Dr Bronstein had problems with computerised record systems. One also noted his failures in the emergency department were “due to the fact it was not his area of expertise”. Some of the doctor’s submissions to the tribunal surprised the panel.

He said that when he failed to assist nurses in treating Patient A, he was “empowering them”. The tribunal described this as a fundamental lack of comprehension of his role as the emergency department. It also found his failure to convert his personal notes on the treatment of Patient A into clinical notes as evidence he taken on. When asked to explain this failure he said: “I can tell you. I wrote notes and I wanted to transfer them. I was so upset about everything that I told to myself, ‘Come on. I don’t want to get associated writing notes in here’.” The Northern NSW Local Health District was asked for comment on the decision, but had not replied by the paper’s editorial deadline.

Wrong way to welcome in the new year SAMANTHA ELLEY Tickets for an illegal doof party called Woodburnia 2021/22 were advertised for sale in the lead up to New Year’s Eve with a long lineup of at least 25 guest artists, located at a “riverside oasis 30 minutes south of Byron Bay”. “Let’s celebrate the end of an era in which Australian doof culture has quietly suffered in captivity,” said the promotional website.

By the early hours of the new year, however, a property on Brickella Road, Woodburn where the event was held, had been raided by NSW police and Richmond Valley Council. “Police and Richmond Valley Council received a number of phone calls and noise complaints for a semi-rural property in Brickella Road,” said Richmond Police Chief Inspector Suzy Johnston. “In a joint response, council and police attended.

“There were several hundred people in attendance and the 55-year-old owner of the property was asked for a copy of the DA which they couldn’t supply. “They were issued with a noise abatement direction to cease noise immediately.” Inspector Johnston advised Richmond Valley Council would be taking legal action against the property owner in regard to the lack of DA for the event. “Further enquiries

are being undertaken in regard to offences committed by the 21-year-old organiser,” said Inspector Johnston. Fines were issued for one case of driving under and two for drug driving offences. “Richmond Valley Council and NSW police take this extremely seriously for these types of events,” said Inspector Johnston. “We will continue to target people who promote and instigate

unlawful events.” A Richmond Valley Council spokesperson said a number of infringements were issued against both the event organiser and property owner. “These included failure to obtain Council approval and noise complaints,” said the spokesperson. “Further investigations are continuing.” The event was costly for both the owner and organiser with up to

Paul Cowles, Council’s Team Leader Regulatory Services, organised the council response to the joint raid with the police and said at its peak, the event could have had up to 500 people. “We estimated about 150 vehicles at the place, with possibly 2-3 people in each,” he said. Concerns were also raised when it was realised the event was held 300m from the river and the set up wasn’t to code.

Suspension of elective surgery at St Vincents Several changes to help support the local community through the Covid-19 pandemic, have been made at St Vincent’s Private Hospital at Lismore. All non-urgent elective surgery will cease at St Vincent’s Hospital, with the exception of same-day procedures and other critical procedures as permitted. This comes after the NSW Ministry of Health imposed special conditions on all

private health facilities as of 10th January. St Vincent’s chief executive, Steve Brierley, said specialists will have communicated these changes to their patients directly. “The aim is to increase the capacity of the local health system to meet the demands of the pandemic and increase the availability of trained health staff to support the response to Covid-19,” he said.

“We have also offered to support the Northern NSW Local Health District during the Covid-19 pandemic. We realise the public health system is being overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients. “The health district contacted us last week saying they needed more beds and asked if we could help. St Vincent’s has responded by putting systems in place to alleviate pressure on our public health system and to

provide additional support for our community.” Mr Brierley said St Vincent’s opened a vacant ward in order to accommodate non Covid-19 patients from Lismore Base. “We admitted over 20 patients to our hospital, with capacity for some more. We have increased our medical ensure patient care is of the highest order,” he said. “This has been done very

quickly and professionally, in partnership with the Northern NSW Local Health District, and it’s working out very well.” Mr Brierley also paid tribute to the St Vincent’s workforce. “I am very proud of how our staff, although naturally concerned themselves, have remained committed to the care of our patients and residents with incredible professionalism and commitment,” he said.

Local breast screening services suspended MARGARET DEKKER Government breast screening services in North Coast NSW are the latest casualty in the Covid-19 crisis with the free routine mammograms suspended from this week until further notice for women from Port Macquarie to Tweed Heads. In a statement, Lynne Weir, Acting Chief Executive Northern NSW Local Health District, said the decision was made reluctantly. “Northern NSW Local Health District has made the difficult decision to suspend all BreastScreen appointments in the district from 17 January 2022 until further notice. The tough decision was made to enable redeployment of staff to support the local Covid-19 pandemic response.

“All women requiring further assessment to enable a definitive diagnosis will not be impacted by the closure, they will be offered an assessment appointment for the next few weeks. “All screening clients are currently being contacted and it is anticipated all clients

will be contacted by the end of next week. “This suspension of screening will be regularly reviewed, and the service will recommence once the increased pandemic demand has eased. “BreastScreen NSW is a population-based screening program

for women with no symptoms of breast cancer. The program aims to detect breast cancers before symptoms, such as a lump, can be felt. The service is coordinated in NSW by the Cancer Institute NSW and operated by local health districts,” Lynne Weir,

A/Chief Executive, Northern NSW Local Health District said. The move will affect countless women across the North Coast who’d already booked or were planning their free biennial screening for either mid-late January or February 2022 and raises questions about

why services were suspended in this part of New South Wales only. “BreastScreen NSW services remain open in other districts. BreastScreen NSW recommends that all clients who develop breast symptoms should contact their doctor or health worker without delay,” Lynne Weir, A/Chief Executive, Northern NSW Local Health District said. The routine mammogram is an important breast screening measure for a woman, particularly if over 50 years of age with a history of breast cancer in her family, or if she has concerning symptoms. The Jane McGrath foundation, a breast cancer support and education charity in Australia, was contacted for comment.

Kyogle’s new council tackles rate peg and vacancies LARA LEAHY There were two motions put forward at Kyogle Councils meeting on Wednesday, 5th January: • Rate Peg - iPart recommended a rate hike of 0.7%, however that was a lot less than the Council planned rate hike of 2.5%. It was decided that the lower percentage would cause ongoing budget issues as it did not take into account the rise in construction materials and works.

“For Kyogle Council this decision (pegging the rate increase to just 0.7 per cent) means a loss of $136,000 from next year’s budget, and a reduction in total income of $2.13 million over the 12 years remaining in the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP), due to the compounding effect of the loss of the income from next year,” Mr Kennett said. “This potentially puts jobs and services at risk, and even the economic stimulus pro-jects and programs supported

by other levels of government, such as the Fixing Country Bridges Program, for which Council has had to borrow in order to fund its share.” The motion to adhere to Kyogle’s planned 2.5% was passed unanimously - 9/0. • Casual Vacancies - In the event that one of the councillors needs to stand down, resolution of how that loss in personnel needed to be taken into account. There are sev-eral steps and options in

undertaken, and option 2 was being put forward in a new motion. Option 1 - Run a by election to nominate new councillor/s. This is the current solution, but the most costly. Option 2 - Default to the 4th person in the councillor’s vote. The concern here being

Energies coming unbalanced SAMANTHA ELLEY A petition to save the Rainbow Temple, located in Rosebank, has already gathered 3530 signatures at the time of writing this story. The petition is directed at Lismore’s new mayor, Steve Krieg and councillors as well as the NSW Premier Dominic Perrotet. Nestled in the green rainforests that surround the area, the temple, which stands at seven storeys high, has no approved development application and is not compliant with council regulations. It is, however, a structure visitors. According to a petition set up by Mike New on Get Up!, the Rainbow Temple is under threat to be demolished from its seven stories to just one story and its glow Lismore City Council. “The Rainbow Temple petition is an appeal to the authorities of the Lismore City Council to allow the structure known as the Rainbow Temple along with it’s (sic) 65-meter underground tunnel to continue to exist without demolition,” the petition states. “The Rainbow Temple

which lies in the heart of the Rainbow region, was built to represent the journey of life on Earth and to the great awakening of consciousness that will allow peace and harmony for mankind with each other and all the aspects of nature.” A spokesperson from Lismore City Council said the Rosebank Rainbow Temple vertical extensions are currently being investigated by council. “No decision has been made with regard to the longevity spokesperson said. “These building works were undertaken without the prior approval of Council and require Development Consent. “Council, as a matter of priority, has initially requested the owner provide Adequacy to ensure the building is structurally sound and not an endangerment to the owners, any occupants or visitors. “The matter is on-going.” The petitioners have requested Council make the temple a universal heritage site asking that time is given to help the temple team fundraise to apply for the appropriate development approvals and for remediation to take place.

Inquest resumes into historic case of ‘lady who vanished’ Behind’ exposes the historic case, involving the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, to the world: “In 1997, Marion Barter boarded a plane for England for the trip of a lifetime. Instead, her loved ones never saw her again. What happened? Where is she? Marion’s daughter will never

MARGARET DEKKER 25 years after Marion Barter vanished, possibly from the Northern Rivers, the fate of the then-51-yearold Southport mother and teacher will have its day in court with an inquest into her disappearance and suspected death listed to resume in Byron Bay on February 1. For daughter Sally Leydon this inquest represents a long-awaited chance for justice for her mother, compelling witnesses and local and international disclose information about Marion’s uncharacteristic disappearance shortly after August 1, 1997. Sally was 24 when she last heard from her mother on that day and younger brother Owen Brown was 23. In the decades since, Sally Leydon (now 48) has married, had three children and heartbreakingly lost Owen to suicide in 2003, aged 27: all without a word from their mother. “It’s been a massive, big mess .. more than half my life she has been missing,” Sally said. Sally spoke to The Northern Rivers Times ahead of the inquest, explaining how they farewelled their mother in Southport on June 22, 1997, Marion bound for a travel adventure to England including an intended cruise on the Orient Express. Just weeks earlier, the freshly-minted ‘Queensland Excellence in Teaching 1996 Winner’ had strangely quit a cherished job at the prestigious The Southport School in Southport, sold her Ashmore home for a loss and given away all her furniture. Adding to the mystery, two months prior to her overseas departure, Marion privately changed her name via deed poll to ‘Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel’ and obtained a new passport under that name but continued her teaching and home life under her usual name and never mentioned the switch. and postcards from abroad, and some phone contact from ‘Tunbridge Wells in Kent,’

Not even a phone call on son Owen’s birthday on October 18, which was out of character and rang alarm bells. “We all thought that was a bit odd,” Sally Leydon said. In the months after August 1, 1997, a series of unusual and unexplained incidents continue to haunt Sally, including; *Florabella Remakel’s passport came back into Australia, Brisbane, on the 2nd August 1997 on a Cathay Kong and her passport never left Australia again and all proof of life checks have *Bank withdrawals from Marion’s account totalling more than $120,000 from branches in Byron Bay and time she was meant to be overseas; *Marion’s Medicare card was used at an optometrist at Grafton Shoppingworld; *And an anonymous phone call to family advised Marion

had been located but did not want anything to do with her children. “Over the years we were just trying to manage as best we could, believing that she didn’t want to be found, which was heartwrenching,” daughter Sally said. Sally also wants answers on when her mother was reported missing by police, and placed on the NSW Missing Persons Register. “My mother’s case has been full of assumptions. For more than half of my life she’s been missing, and that’s all based on assumptions, not facts,” Sally said. Sally’s pursuit of answers her mother’s case handed to Squad in Sydney in 2019 which led to an inquest which started in June 2021 in Byron Bay but was paused amid Covid-19 restrictions and alleged new information. “It will come out in the inquest this new evidence, it’s strong, yes,” Sally told The

At least I know by pushing hard, I’ve been able to push the envelope and make people listen.” People have been listening, in fact more than eight million people worldwide who have downloaded the 7News podcast ‘The Lady Vanishes.’ Launched on April 1, 2019, the podcast hosted by Allison Sandy, Freedom of Information expert, is now up to its 26th episode and is one of Apple’s longest continuously running podcasts with contributors from Scotland Yard in the UK to daughter Sally in Brisbane.

“It’s pretty huge,” Sally said of the global attention and interest. Sally also administers a Facebook page ‘The Lady Vanishes’ which has more than 21,400 followers (with links to the inquest if it is webcast.) Motorists on the M1 motorway north of Grafton may also notice two new billboards advertising ‘Missing Marion Barter’ from this week until March, plus new electronic posters at Grafton Shoppingworld and Lismore Square, to possibly jog memories or prompt chatter 25 years on, amongst those who still know or recall something, anything. “I have been saying for decades now – ‘someone, somewhere knows something.’ I urge anyone with the slightest piece of information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” Sally said. “My motto is to leave no stone left unturned.” February’s inquest into the ‘vanishing’ of Marion may achieve just that, to uncover things from dark places. “For me, the priority is this, she is a missing person, she’s missing from me and my family. I’ve wanted the coroner to look at this and take it seriously, there’s been an injustice done to my family and to my mum, based on assumptions. I just want some answers, to be able to sleep at night knowing I’ve done everything I could.” The inquest resumes before State Coroner Teresa O’Sullivan on February 1 at Byron Bay Courthouse before moving to Ballina Courthouse on February 14 then closing back in Byron from February 16. “The truth is like water, it said.

It was also not stated in the legislation that tracks had to be pulled up to make the bike path. However, certain Ministers have wrongly said that the funding requires the bike trail to go on top of the rail formation, and thus destroying our tracks and losing the potential of rail returning to our region.

MANY years ago, an old mate of mine was waxing lyrical over a beer at Bondi Hotel, and mid-ramble I remember him say: “In life, you should only count on one hand the true friends you have, any more than that and you’ve simply got a bunch of lukewarm acquaintances.” Mind you, this was a preFacebook comment, but it’s one I’ve pondered often, and one that I’ve seen strangely play out. No less than the hard-hitting, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee – Muhammad Ali, once said: “Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.” In a world of online fads, fickleness and fleeting allegiances, Ali’s comment assumes a whole new level of reverberation and significance. Not that friendship is a new concept, or one that is even waning by any means, but what constitutes the timeless essence of this blessing of blessings has remained seemingly constant throughout the ages. Woodrow Wilson, the second of only four US Presidents to win a Nobel Peace Prize, once said: “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” I often think, if only this could be engraved above the entrance to the parliament of each of the world’s 195 countries. Relatedly, the French diarist and essayist Anais Nin once reflected, “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a

new world is born.” As such, our friends are our be-all and end-all, our rocks, mirrors, and ever-reliable dice in the game of life; imagine your own lot without the influence and presence of your dearest friends. Beautifully, Virginia Woolf, once declared in rather confessional fashion: “Some people go to priests. Others to poetry. I to my friends.” And it is our friends, time and time again, that we return to seek unconditional assurance, acceptance, tolerance and understanding: all in the comforting context of a deeply felt and familiar continuity. On the topic of friends per se, something that fascinates me are the words we use the world over to refer to them. Similarly, Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppet Show, once said: “There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.” Not that he was asking for a solution, but I reckon the Swahili word for ‘friend’, which is ‘rafiki’ would be the most fitting word for such a thing. If you’d have been a direct contact of Jesus, the word he would have used for ‘friend’ in his native Aramaic, would be ‘racham’; likewise for Confucius, he’d have referred to you as a ‘pengyou’ in Chinese, and Socrates would have called you ‘phileous’, if you’d hung around him as a friend. That said, the beautiful soul that was the deaf and blind scholar, Helen Keller deserves the final word: “I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.”

Fred Perring Halfway Creek COVID STATS Now that we have reached high vaccination rates enforced by our govts, out of lockdowns but supermarket shelves getting barer and unvaxxed still not allowed to go back to their jobs here are some stats to ponder. The Australian Bureau of Statistics says Covid was the 38th leading cause of death in 2020 with 898 Pneumonia was 17th with 2287 deaths behind Suicide which was 15th with 3139 deaths. (The ABS Annual Causes of Death for 2021 report has not yet been released). Then the TGA website says ‘Since the beginning of the vaccine rollout to 2 January 2022, about 42.8 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given. The reports of death that were linked to vaccination from 726 reports received and reviewed. The deaths linked to vaccination occurred – 8 were thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) cases, 2 were linked to Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and one was a case of immune

thrombocytopenia (ITP).’ Later it reports that there were around 170 reports of TTS, 170 reports of GBS and 86 reports of ITP plus from and Spikevax (Moderna) 928+89 suspected Myocarditis cases and 1930+155 suspected Pericarditis cases. Regarding Adverse Events From Immunisation, the AusVaxSafety website said there were 2,194,275 which is 44% of the 4,986,989 surveyed patients but only listed the symptoms as Local Reactions, Fatigue, Headache, Muscle or Joint Pain, Gastrointestinal symptoms and Fever.

keeping temperature rise below 1.5degC. 5. ‘This is green lefty toe rag ideology’ - No this is mainstream rational science around the globe. 6. ‘Renewables are power sources cost but renewables are now the cheapest. All power sources are intermittent and the worst offender is nuclear - in France on average 20% of the time for maintenance etc. which is why nuclear worldwide is on the decline. Modular nuclear plants like the new Thorium based power unit in China just might be the way of the future - watch this space. There is no worry in SA where renewables repeatedly supply 100% back-up has limited use and the installation of four synchronous spinners have made wind power grid friendly. In other words, G.

Another blatant lie from Morrison and Frydenberg is the claim to be a “low taxing Govt.”; budget estimates show an extra $45 billion will be taken this year and more than $100 billion in forward estimates, so much for a low-taxing Govt. If this extra revenue was earmarked to pay down the massive debt this incompetent Govt. has racked up it would make sense, but they have no intention of doing anything legitimate.

Clarence backs TIM HOWARD COMMENT equation that ratified so many Clarence Valley Council decisions in recent terms, reared its head again during the election for the new mayor and his deputy. It was no surprise the new council, with only three survivors from the last administration, went for the highly experienced Ian Tiley as mayor. The Emeritus Mayor (he was the mayor of the first Clarence Valley Council after the 2004 amalgamation of the four general purpose councils and two county councils) brings a world of local government experience to this elected body. He has been mayor of Maclean Shire and until the latest elections, headed Armidale District Council. He has also been a council general manager for 15 years. He was widely tipped to be the new mayor from the day he announced his candidacy for the council. And for a wiley campaigner like Cr Tiley, there was no need to take unnecessary risks. During the campaign Cr Greg Clancy made it known he was positioning himself for a run as a deputy mayor on So, when the show of hands came to elect the mayor, Crs Tiley and Clancy, with support from Crs Peter Johnstone, Steve Pickering and Bill Day and was repeated for the election of Cr Clancy as

won the day again. There is no suggestion there is anything wrong with this outcome. It would be extremely naive to expect anyone running for elected office to not have a good idea of the numbers. And the ability to gather support for a tilt at a top job is a positive indicator when considering who you might want to running the show on what can be a fractious council floor. But no-one in the Clarence wants a repeat of the so-called “Grafton mafia” position where a block of councillors seemed to vote together consistently, despite the logic or otherwise of opposing arguments. The situation reached its nadir at the December 3 extraordinary meeting, where five councillors voted together on an issue, despite some clear logical problems with their position. Perhaps Clarence council watchers can take some solace from the knowledge Cr Clancy was one of the councillors who often found himself on the minority side on the previous council. He should be the last person wanting to see councillors in entrenched positions ignoring the evidence to get the result they want. While the vote count might bring on Grafton mafia flashbacks for some, the evidence from this meeting alone revealed the councillors got it right. Each candidate had five minutes to address the

Cr Tiley was measured and professional. He outlined his strengths of experience in local government, backed by extensive academic credentials, including a PhD in NSW council amalgamations with Clarence Valley as his case study. He also recognised the challenges facing the council and backed his experience and know how in local government to meet them. His rivals, Crs Novak and Toms, sought to have councillors believe there was a better way, calling on more vague terms such as life experience or local knowledge. Cr Novak made the more impassioned appeal. Her view that her work career and bringing up a family as a single mother in the Clarence Valley community gave

her an insight into what made the region tick, had appeal. But she couldn’t – outside some motherhood statements about continuing to listen to the people – describe how she would make the necessary changes. Cr Toms was more ad hoc, making a virtue of addressing the meeting without a prepared speech. Speaking “from the heart” is fine, but as Oscar Wilde noted, “the rehearsing was such a bore”. Cr Toms is aware of the issues facing the council and has run afoul of well prepared opponents often enough to realise the solutions won’t come easily. The notion that the changes this council needs could come from some vague moves toward “someone open, transparent and helpful”

is fanciful. Cr Tiley has some baggage. His initial term as mayor of the council was characterised by a level of borrowing subsequent administrations could only solve with the dreaded special rates variation. He might counter the rules imposed on the newly amalgamated council from the state government plus community expectations made that situation necessary. In 2022 he finds himself in a different position, at the head of a fresh council representing a diverse range of the community. He also has a community willing for him to succeed in creating a council that represents its needs and values.

Bla.c.k Medicine in the spotlight LARA LEAHY Mikayla Couch MD, pictured, is a proud Bundjalung woman who is starting a national podcast, opening up the conversation about indigenous health and healthcare. The podcast will focus on health by Indigenous people for Indigenous people, but it will also be a valuable resource for non indigenous health care workers and anyone interested in learning more about Australia’s first people. When Mikayla started studying 12 years ago, there were only 120 indigenous medical professionals. According to the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association, this number has increased to 518. AIDA is the professional body that Mikayla is affiliated with and has supported this growth. Dr Couch intends to reach out to the “passionate people

in Indigenous health and help them flourish.” Some of the medical professionals Dr Couch will speak to are the first Indigenous practitioners in their field. These include a vascular surgeon, an ear nose and throat specialist and the first Indigenous

sexologist. Mikayla works in obstetrics and gynaecology at Lismore Base Hospital and is very passionate about raising health awareness, and getting access to good health practices. The idea germinated as she wanted to help family

and mob. “People need to look after their health - health is for everyone.” It started with a dream that took root when Mikayla was in Sydney with a Sausage Dog Owners group. On hearing her passion, a member from Peer One

suggested they help her begin a podcast. To hear Mikayla bring a positive message about Indigenous health, the initial podcast airs this week on Monday 17th January at 5pm. A new episode will be available every fortnight. Bla.c.k Medicine’s first shows include: • Speaking with Ngemba and Wiradjuri Doctor Khyarne Biles who brought home the importance of covid

vaccinations to many with a simple photo of her colleagues telling it how it is… • Conversing with Uncle Dave Edwards on fathering and fatherhood. • A discussion about sex and relationships with a sexologist. • Delving into why you would use a Mirena IUD and how they work with Dr. Jessica Webb. The Bla.c.k Medicine website should be up and running shortly.

New mayor puts immediate stamp on council TIM HOWARD New Clarence Valley mayor Ian Tiley placed his stamp on the running of the Clarence Valley Council immediately on taking the chair at the extraordinary council meeting to elect him as mayor. Important in a different way to his manifesto, which has been embedded in full in the minutes of the meeting, was the way he asserted his control over proceedings. When acting general manager Laura Black briefly found herself in a tangle over meeting procedure, Cr Tiley quickly took control. It made a welcome contrast to council meetings in recent years, where adjournments and points of order came thick and fast as the mayor as meeting chairman and councillors navigated the Code of Meeting Practice. Cr Tiley laid out the course for the council over its shortened term – the next election will be in September 2024 – with a meaty outline of how he intends to run the new administration. After congratulating deputy mayor Cr Greg Clancy on his election and Crs Debrah Novak and Karen Toms for nominating as mayoral candidate he set out his vision for this council. “I seek to change to a more ‘can-do’ attitude. Not about why-we-do, but how-we-can-do to help our constituents achieve,” he said in his opening remarks.

Cr Ian Tiley has been elected as Clarence Valley Mayor for a second time. “We need to be more attuned and responsive to the people’s needs. “The task of governing will be the council’s responsibility and the role of the acting general manager and her staff will be administering and supporting the governing body and its decisions.” Cr Tiley recognised the need to regain public trust in the council and detailed what the new council would do to turn that around. “Improving the trust and confidence of the Clarence Valley community will be a very high priority,” he said.

“We commit to transparency, openness and and thereby community trust and confidence in the council, which belongs to the people we are privileged to represent. “We must alway fight for accountability and good governance. We will be about policy setting and we will continuously review our policy.” Cr Tiley also promised that councillors and top staff would be far more visible and accountable to the community. “I intend that councillors and senior staff visit all towns and

villages on Saturdays over the next few months and again when we consult over the Operational Plan and budget in May/June,” he said. “We will also conduct town-hall-style meetings in Grafton, Maclean, Yamba and Iluka. We want to connect and listen.” He said there would also be plenty of chances to see and talk to councillors outside the set pieces. “My colleagues and I will regularly be at coffee shops and public spaces to have informal chats with you,” he said.

Cr Tiley also provided details about how the enhanced community engagement would proceed. “Genuine community engagement will be front and centre,” he said. “My colleagues will form a list of guest speakers to address and liaise with the diverse local community groups, organisations and the three local radio stations. “They will convey the council’s important messages, but most importantly, will listen to you.” Cr Tiley also recognised the need for the council to represent the aspirations of each councillor. “This will truly be a team effort,” he said. “I will meet each councillor regularly and individually. “First meetings will be held over the next couple of weeks so I can ascertain the hopes, the goals and the aspirations of each councillors.” Cr Tiley has already put in train moves to create some structural changes to the council meeting procedure. He also recognised the council would need to take a hard look at itself to make sure it prioritised changes in line with community expectations. “We will receive a full review of council’s financial situation and we will explore opportunities for future financial reform to ensure our long-term financial sustainability,” he said. “There’s real need for

cultural and attitudinal reform. Work practices need reviewing and modernising, as was alluded to this morning. “We will support the now mandatory service level reviews to ascertain the relevance and need for services and whether greater efficiencies can be achieved.” He said it was important for councillors to realise reforms like a streamlined DA approval process had real life benefits, including job creation in the community. He said there needed to be a continual updating of council’s suite of policies, including a review of roadworks priorities and a prompt inspection of road conditions. He said the council would re-establish the Clarence Valley Aboriginal Consultative Committee to give the five Clarence Valley Aboriginal communities direct access to the council. Cr Tiley said to do this the council would need to tap into deeper resources than procedural know-how. “It’s time to reinvigorate our dialogue with the community. To reach out to them and to bring the community with us on this journey,” he said. “A time to protect and improve councillors’ reputation. “Vitally, it will be a time for re-imagining the Clarence Valley and all its future can be. “Our stewardship will lead that reimagining.”

Chamber urges locals to ‘take the lead’ at TAFE TAFE NSW will play an increasingly critical role in building the North Coast leaders of tomorrow through its range of leadership and management courses, according to the NSW Business Chamber. It comes as the region’s economy enters the Covid recovery phase and after a landmark report by the Centre for Workplace Leadership found one in four private sector leaders had no

formal training beyond high school. Business NSW Chief Executive Daniel Hunter welcomed the TAFE NSW focus on leadership and said it would help build the capacity and culture of local organisations. “Business NSW fully supports TAFE’s renewed focus on leadership and management training,” Mr Hunter said. “There’s no doubt good

leaders and managers can make or break a business. Leadership and management are particularly important in preparing businesses to take advantage of new opportunities or respond to changing requirements.” Twenty-two-yearold TAFE NSW Graduate Stephen O’Neill, pictured, studied a Certificate IV in Leadership and Management and would

recommend the course to anyone looking to take a step up in their career. “TAFE NSW equipped me with the skills I needed to reinvent myself and change career direction. My background is in horticulture and I now work as the WHS Officer at Lismore City Council. “At the beginning of the year I couldn’t speak in front of eight people. Since completing my course, last week I

presented to 30 people.” TAFE NSW Head Teacher of Business Services Michelle Travers said the courses were tailored to individual business needs, including online or via night classes, and were suitable to those already in the workforce. “It might be someone at a supervisor level and wanting the qualifications and practical skills to step up to a higher leadership

role,” Ms Travers said. “It’s often not until you study a course in leadership that you truly appreciate where your gaps are. These courses will give you the practical tools and knowledge to reflect on your leadership style and improve your skills.” To enquire about a leadership and management course at TAFE NSW, call 131 601 or visit www. tafensw.edu.au.

A Winsome, friendly and SAMANTHA ELLEY Lunch preparations are underway in the busy kitchen of the Winsome Hotel and volunteers go about their business with a determined purpose. Delicious aromas mix with the pervading smell of cleaning products as The Northern Rivers Times sits down with Lismore Soup Kitchen president, Meike Bell, to chat about how the organisation has managed through a natural disaster and worldwide pandemic. At 12.30pm there will be a line of people waiting patiently for the yummy offerings that have been cooked with love. That is the underlying theme with everything done within the walls of the Winsome Hotel. Posters and signs are everywhere affirming people from a cartoon by Leunig or a bible verse, letting people know how much God loves them. “Our policy is that everybody gets a meal, we never discriminate,” said Mieke. “Anybody who walks into this building is treated with respect. “We know that anybody who walks in here is here for a reason and we embrace them and we accept that.” For the last 12 years the organisation has been running its business out of the grand building on Bridge St in Lismore, providing meals, accommodation, food and medical checkups for those who have fallen on rough times or just need some support.

Lyn Robertson, Mieke Bell, Darren Sayer, Bronny Maccann and Lindsay Mallet in the kitchen.

“My husband and I have been involved with the Lismore Soup Kitchen for the last 32 years of the 33 years it has been running,” said Meike. “It’s my mission in life. It keeps me going. “It puts feet and hands on my Christian faith. “This place energises. You can arrive here feeling flat and you are energised immediately. “That’s also the experiences of our volunteers.” For Meike and the volunteers of the Winsome Hotel it is a privilege to walk alongside people who are walking a rough path. “There are many people who do life tough,” she said. “But because of the commitment of our volunteers, we have such an amazing group.

“Some have volunteered for decades.” Overall there are around 40 volunteers who help to get meals out to people, by cooking fresh food each day and managing the people who come to the Hotel. “Soup is never on the menu, it is such a misnomer,” laughs Mieke. “The only time we as an organisation have actually cooked soup was years ago for the Lantern Parade in Lismore. We had a stall and we’d sell soup. Those nights would fundraise $1000 for us.” Eighteen residents live at the Hotel and night managers help keep things running smoothly. The range of people who come to the Winsome Hotel are varied and each has their own

story to tell. “A lot of people have a home but are on a low income and may not be able to put a meal on the table every day,” said Mieke. “We have people who come maybe a couple of times in the week or a fortnight or every day. “We offer here a community, we offer support, we offer a sense of family and people like to tap into that. “Then we have our rough sleepers. In terms of the statistics what I say is, one person that sleeps in the street is one person too many.” The organisation has provided a meal every day for the past 33 years. They’ve never stopped in fire, flood or pandemic. “In the 2017 flood when the water was right across this floor, we weren’t able to provide meals as we were too busy cleaning, one of the real estate agents came and put a trailer up and they were providing meals for people who we normally provide meals for,” said Mieke. “Lots of good things happened out of the 2017 flood.”

Meike knows the Winsome Hotel has the good will of the community of Lismore. “People recognise that what we do here is incredibly important,” she said. “People who are marginalised are part of our society and they shouldn’t be pushed away. “We often have people drop off donations such as clothes, linen, toiletries.” Mieke said a couple of local schools do an annual toiletry run, providing much needed items for the Winsome Hotel people. “It is no surprise that when we live our lives reaching out to others, that’s where happiness comes from,” she said. “My mother brought us up to think of others and not just think of yourselves. I am forever grateful that our mother brought us up in that way. “She was on to a great truth there.” The Covid experience In March 2020 a week before all Australia closed in the first lockdown from Covid-19, the Winsome Hotel set the precedence. “A week before Australia closed, we decided to close,” said Mieke. “Closing means not allowing people to come in, as we had two groups of people that we

needed to protect from Covid-19 and that was our residents and our volunteers. “Some of our volunteers are ageing or have health issues and if we weren’t able to provide a meal then our people wouldn’t be fed.” The Winsome Hotel started giving out takeaway meals. “Normally, pre-Covid, this place would be buzzing at lunchtime,” said Mieke. “We can serve up to 100 meals. Our average is 70 and people sit anywhere in the building and eat their lunch but we had to stop that.” For the next six months the Winsome operated under lockdown conditions, continuing to provide food security each day for their people, and again when Lismore went into lockdown. “People know they could come here and get a good nutritious meal,” said Mieke. Fast forward to early 2022 and like the rest of the Northern Rivers, the Winsome Hotel is surrounded by the tidal wave of Covid-19 cases. “We’ve had three notifications just in the last two weeks that someone’s been in here with Covid,” said Mieke. “So right from the start we’ve had the Covid safety plan and kept right up to date.” For this reason the Winsome Hotel has gone back into lockdown mode, providing takeaway meals on a daily basis. As Australia experiences a staff shortage and businesses close due to many having to isolate with Covid, Mieke says the Hotel has still had a full contingency of workers. “We haven’t lost any volunteers to illness,” said Mieke. “We are blessed in that. Statistics for the Winsome Hotel In 2021 the Winsome Hotel served up 26,600 meals which averages out to 73 per day. “That’s probably been our average for preCovid,” said Mieke.

They buy their meat from a local butcher and other items around the meals. Mieke’s memory One certain gentleman, helped by the Winsome Hotel, has stood out in Mieke’s mind over the years. “This is often the story

of people who find themselves without a home, they can have a family, a job and a home,” said Mieke. “They lose the job, then the family and home. It’s happened several times. “One guy in particular came and said ‘I’m sleeping in the doorway

of a shop. I’ve never done that before. I never thought I’d be in that position. Help!’. “I said ‘I’ve got a room.’ That worked so well for him. “It’s a great joy to give a room to a person in that or any situation.” There are no plans for Mieke to slow down in her work at the Winsome Hotel. “It flicks through my mind on occasions but I go, ‘No, I’ve got such a fabulous team’. “When I’m not here I never worry about the place as I’ve got such good people who are just running the ship in a really good way.” The logic is, the Winsome Hotel has been such a great source of happiness for both the people it serves and the volunteers, why would she leave? “I see volunteers caring for volunteers and our people caring for our people,” said Mieke. “This place is so feel good.”

“For 2022 we will go where we are at Covidwise. “Services have operated in Covid for two years now and will continue to go just day by day. “We will continue to protect the Winsome and we know how to do that as much as we can.” The Winsome Hotel doesn’t depend on any kind of money from the government. “We never get government funding and we’ve not asked for it,” said Mieke. “That means we can write our own rules and when I tell organisations that are reliant on government funding and the funding gets pulled and that organisation collapses, they go ‘you are so lucky’ and I say, ‘yes we are’. “We have also got philanthropic money coming into our organisation.” The Winsome makes sandwiches every day for people. “All our bread needs

Southern Cross awarded almost $2 million for innovative research Southern Cross University has welcomed more than $1.94 million in Australian Research Council (ARC) funding in the latest rounds, achieving a sector-leading success rate in the Discovery round. Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research) Professor Mary Spongberg said researchers from Southern Cross University were beginning the year on a high note, leading three successful Discovery Projects and one Linkage Project from the latest round of federal government funding. “This is a stunning result for Southern Cross University with a 27 per cent success rate for Discovery Projects, compared to the sector average of 19 per cent,” Professor Spongberg said. First-time ARC recipient Associate Professor Lynne McPherson from the Faculty of Health has been awarded a Linkage Project grant for her project ‘Strengthening relationships for young people in residential care’ (project number LP210100177), along with renowned Southern Cross University researcher Professor Anne Graham, and Dr Kathomi Gatwiri who received the University’s Early Career Researcher of the Year in 2019. The ARC will provide $429,569 to fund the project. Associate Professor McPherson is also the Director of Research at the Centre for Excellence in Therapeutic Care, a division of the Australian Childhood Foundation, with that Centre contributing $109,500 in cash

successful ARC application (LE200100156). Associate Professor Renaud Joannes-Boyau, also of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, was granted $368,118 for ‘Decoding the geochemical record of early human fossils’ (DP220100195) in the Discovery Project 2022 funding round. Associate Professor Joannes-Boyau will conduct geochemical analysis on fossilised teeth of early hominins to shed light on the adaptive strategies that allowed our human ancestors to outcompete the other species. He also achieved success

This project will provide policy-makers and therapeutic care providers the information required to help improve approaches to therapeutic care and enable participation of young people in care in matters that may change their life trajectory on exiting care. In the Faculty of Science

and Engineering, Professor Bradley Eyre has achieved the rare feat of securing two Discovery Project grants as same round, worth a total of $893,000, for groundbreaking research to better understand the global carbon cycle; the biogeochemical exchange of carbon between the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land and fossil fuels. Professor Eyre’s projects ‘Shallow water carbonate sediment dissolution in

the global carbon cycle’ ($437,000, DP220100918), and ‘Resolving the role of carbon cycle’ ($456,000, DP220101263) top off an impressive three years of ARC success for Professor Eyre. These are the fourth grants awarded to teams led by Professor Eyre in that period (projects LP200200910, LP190100271 and LE200100155), and he also partnered on a sixth

Discovery Project in this round. Both projects leverage the use of cutting-edge tandem trace element and isotopes facility equipment established at the University’s Lismore campus in 2020 and 2021, funded by the ARC Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) grant secured by the Associate Professor in 2020 (LE200100022). The ARC’s Linkage Program supports academics to work with industry, government and community organisation partners to tackle complex problems and fast-track solutions, while the Discovery Program supports excellent basic and applied research, as well as national and international research collaboration to expand the knowledge base and research capacity in Australia; and the create economic, commercial, environmental, social and

Recovery Centre will remain open for waste drop-off and the purchase of mulch. Acting General Manager, Vanessa Adams, said Council is no different to other businesses that are dealing with the fallout from Covid-19. “Our customers and community are at the centre of everything we do and we don’t

make these decisions lightly but our aim is to have continuity of service,” Ms Adams said. “Similar to the lockdowns we experienced last year, staff were always available on the end of the telephone to answer questions and queries and this will continue. “What people may

see is a delay in the time taken to answer the phones and if this happens I am asking people to be patient and try again or send us an email,” she said. People can also pay bills including rates and parking permits on Council’s website. Information about changes to Council services is on Council’s website.

Councillors split in pay debate TIM HOWARD A seemingly innocuous item on the agenda of last week’s extraordinary meeting of Clarence Valley Council has exposed a split in council over the pay packets offered to councillors. The new council elected on December 4 was required to note the remuneration the mayor, deputy mayor and councillors would receive. It was $24,810 a year to councillors, $32,950 for the deputy mayor and $78,950 for the mayor. These amounts had been decided at the June 2021 meeting and carried over until the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal makes its annual determination of fees payable to councillors for in April/May each year. Despite the new mayor pointing out to councillors this was a notation of a decision made last year, which they could not alter, it aroused passions among those new to council and some of the old hands. Essentially it was the age-old split between the view that dedicated community members would give their time freely on council and those who argue it’s necessary to pay well to get the people with the time and expertise council needs to function professionally. The item gave new council member Cr Peter Johnstone a chance to make his first speech. He linked the pay for councillors to the low representation on council of women and the absence of First Nations councillors and those under 30. Those on the council were either recently retired or were business owners. “My point is we need to make it possible in

the future for people who have regular full time jobs to actually take on the role of councillor,” he said. Cr Johnstone said the current councillor allowance paid $2000 a month and by dividing the amount of by the time worked on council, didn’t take too long to come up with an unattractive hourly rate. “For many of us that may not be a big issue,” he said. “But I think if we’re going to allow the council to be something that becomes more representative of our community, let us make sure it’s properly remunerated.” He said he planned on committing at least three days a week to being a councillor. Cr Johnstone said the remuneration levels were correct in his view and council should be looking at ways to increase the representation of First Nations people and those under 30 on council. But another new councillor, Cr Jeff Smith, was opposed, saying during his campaign he promised to not vote for a pay rise or accept one if it came. He also the council would come under more budgetary restraint with the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal, the body controlling council rate rises, had put a 0.7% rate peg increase. “From a perception point of view, the people outside this chamber, for us to give ourselves a pay rise or endorse one that’s been passed earlier last year, is a bad look and as such I won’t be voting for this motion,” he said. Cr Bill Day said as a retiree he didn’t care too much about the level of pay, but he did want to be perceived in the community as being “good value”. “In the overall scheme of this council it’s a

very small amount for the ratepayers to compensate good councillors,” he said. Cr Whaites said serving on the council had nothing to do with money and was all about “supporting our community” and she would not vote for it. The trend of the debate surprised Cr Tiley. “So we’re voting not to note something, is that the motion,” he said. “This is in place. What do you want to do if you don’t want to do that?” Cr Toms supported Cr Johnstone’s push for more young people on council and constant debate over the level of pay was not helpful. Cr Debrah Novak was against it. She said people joined council because they were passionate about representing the community and making a difference. She said it was not the money that would attract younger people, but a change to night time meetings. Cr Steve Pickering supported Cr Johnstone’s position and argued to attract younger people to these roles, there needed to be adequate compensation for the time and effort they put in. Cr Clancy was for the motion, because it was to only note the council resolution of last year and he was comfortable. Cr Johnstone in his right of reply challenged Cr Novak on her claims meeting times and engagement were the solution to attracting young and First Nations people to council. “The people we’d like to see on this council need to have some way of paying the bills,” the said. “If they’re going to give two, three days a week, it’s only right that people are given suitable recompense for that.” The council vote 6-3 in favour of the motion to note its pay rates.

‘LEEMO CAT’ for this week. CRIKEY...I just have to tell you all about this stuff I’ve heard on our radio and television in past weeks. For some obscure reason, the beastly fierce RAT species has become the “must have” pet of the moment and people are forking out loot left right and centre to get one. OMG. Yes yes yes. I’ve read that apparently a RAT can make an excellent pet... and I don’t believe one iota of it. The shock for me was even hearing ‘Mum Jane’ on the phone asking people about how to buy a RAT. No discussion about our household budget whatsoever!!! I was beside myself. I have no intention of sharing with a RAT. I noted one article actually said it’s even OK for a RAT and a cat to live together as long as their human is in the room with them ALL the time supervising their behaviour. This may be all very well for deranged people (mind you, Mum falls to this category at times) but my vision of a RAT in our house is a sneaky beady-eyed pointed nosed critter that scurries around at night, probably eating MY TREATS and then going through the rubbish for more. NUP, it ain’t gonna happen if I have anything to do with it. AND, another pertinent fact. Just say, in my worstiest nightmare, Mum does bring a RAT home. What happens to my privacy if she

is here ALL the time supervising me and the bloody rat? Well... answer that? What about my sneaking into the packet of CRUNCHERS...those delicious feline grainfree kangaroo treats Mum has been getting me? She often mutters to herself saying “I’m sure that packet was FULL?” And what about when I want to invite my buddies over for a Jam Session (Apricot preferred)? Hmmm...how to approach this dire state of affairs heading into my life? Best call a meeting with my street buddies. CRIKEY, all my buddies were in the same boat...THEIR humans all want a RAT as well? We were truly petrified. The situation was deliberated over for some time, with no outcome. Having a RAT is probably most fashionable and desirous...kinda like those tea-cup dogs people have to carry around in their handbags. The thought of a RAT peering out of someone’s handbag in Woolies doesn’t bear thinking about. So, in the end, “Treasure” said we should perhaps consult ‘Mum Jane’ about this and be very honest about how we felt. So, it ensued. We all took turns in explaining to Mum about our hurt and concern about our humans wanting a RAT. She listened intently but quickly excused herself for a visit to the bathroom. (I swear I heard laughing?) She returned with a sombre look. She told us all to listen. “You guys are fretting about nothing.” She explained the word RAT we’d all heard means Rapid Antigen Test...not a furry, beady eyed critter. Humans have to try and get these tests to check our COVID status... but there are very few around. So, guys, that’s why everyone is making RAT enquiries, Oooooh...bliss...we gave Mum hugs, purrs and pats for putting our minds at ease. Time for a Jam Session. Nite with hugs...Leemo & Buddies.

OLYMPIAN AMBASSADORS FOR LISMORE Lismore’s 2022 Australia Day Ambassadors are Olympian couple Kaarle McCulloch and Kevin Chavez. Kaarle was a medal winning cyclist in the 2012 London Olympic Games and rode in two events at the 2020 Tokyo Games, while Kevin was a diver in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. “We are thrilled to have Kaarle and Kevin as our Australia Day Ambassadors,” Mayor Steve Krieg said. “This Olympic duo has a long list of accomplishments to their names and we are honoured to welcome them both as our guests on the day, give an Australia Day address and help present our 2022 Australia Day Awards.” Kaarle McCulloch is a recently retired professional track sprint cyclist. With a career spanning 15 years, she achieved many accolades in her career, including Olympic Bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games, becoming World

Olympians Kaarle McCulloch and Kevin Chavez

Champion 4 times, 21 Oceania Championships and 15 Australian Championships. Kaarle’s personal highlight was her 500m Time Trial gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. Winning in front of a home crowd was a special moment that she

will cherish for life. Kaarle has been active within sport in Australia in advocating for the rights of all athletes and is a member of three separate athlete advisory groups. Sport has come a long way since Kaarle began and she has successfully helped advocate for equal pay

and prize money on the track for females, as well as being a voice for all athletes. Kaarle is now focusing degree and her ultimate ambition is to help young people reach their maximum potential whether that be sport, education, or life in general.

Kevin Chavez was born in Mexico and began diving at the age of 5. It was clear from that young age that he had talent for the sport and became the junior world champion in 2010. In 2014, Kevin suffered a bad knee injury and it was thought he would not compete again. In 2015 he

arrived in Australia and successfully rehabilitated the injury and started competing again. Kevin began winning domestic competitions and had an opportunity to become an Australia citizen and compete for Australia. He jumped at the opportunity and in 2016 he realised his lifelong dream of competing at the Olympic Games. In 2017 Kevin suffered another bad injury in his shoulder a week out from the 2017 World Championships. Despite recovering from the injury, he decided in 2020, when the Olympics were postponed, to focus on other areas of his life which include coaching the next generation of diving stars and also applying for the Australian Defence Force. The 2021 Australia Day Awards and Citizenship Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, 26 January at 9am at Lismore City Hall.

FRIDAY

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

7MATE, 7.30pm

Our conflicted relationship with animals is explored in this impressive sequel set 10 years after 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Humankind is in crisis after a devastating global virus, and the survivors must negotiate for resources with a community of genetically enhanced apes living in the Californian forests. The negotiations go awry – Malcolm (Jason Clarke) favours co-operation with the simian cousins, while his boss (Gary Oldman) distrusts them – and the two species are brought to the brink of war. Visual effects reign supreme, explosively in some scenes and touchingly in the expressions of alpha-ape Caesar (above, voiced by Andy Serkis). It’s a classy blockbuster of Shakespearean proportions.

As a much-loved judge on The Great British Bake Off for more than a decade, Paul Hollywood (below) looks absolutely rapt to be venturing out of the kitchen and onto his beloved motorbike in this new travel and cooking series, premiering tonight. It’s a novelty to see the British baker not donning an apron, but full-on riding gear as he ventures out on a culinary trip from New York to Los Angeles. Apart from baking and biking, Hollywood’s other love is, of course, movies, so this American adventure is the icing on his cake … and having a blast will be a cakewalk. In New York, Paul follows in the culinary footsteps of Frank Sinatra, indulging in bagels and twice-baked pizza.

LAW & ORDER: SVU

TEN, 9pm

The professional mixes with the personal in tonight’s episode of SVU and it lands Benson (Mariska Hargitay, right) in a most uncomfortable situation. Assistant District Attorney Carisi (Peter Scanavino) prosecutes Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott) for the murder of Kathy Stabler, the wife of detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). But Benson soon finds out her friend Barba (Raúl Esparza) has agreed to defend the accused. How will this unfold once Stabler gets wind of it? This episode is one-half of a crossover with Law & Order: Organised Crime, but don’t worry if you miss that one – this episode is where all the juicy bits are. 2101

Even better handling is feature of the updated Mazda MX-5

EWAN KENNEDY Mazda MX-5 has been updated for 2022 with new suspension technology being the biggest feature. Along with safety upgrades, new trim and paint options, Mazda MX-5 gets newly developed Kinematic Posture Control technology. This uses the MX-5’s suspension structure to provide a more integrated and stable turning posture at high speed. The MX-5’s rear suspension is designed to generate an “anti-lift” force that pulls the vehicle’s body down when the brakes are applied. KPC works by applying a slight brake to the inner rear wheel when cornering under conditions with high G-force,

The Toyota GR Yaris Rallye threedoor hatchback is hot to trot

RALLYE ROUND, LADS, YARIS, HAS GONE WILD DEREK OGDEN Who’d have thought it: when the Yaris, the replacement for the Echo light hatch in 2005, emerged, that 16 years later the mousey Toyota mini would be tearing up rally tracks around the world. Enter the track-ready GR Yaris Rallye, a highperformance sports car that, according to Toyota Australia Vice President Sales and Marketing, Sean Hanley, is almost the closest you can get to the Yaris World Rally Car without joining our World Rally team. Based on the GR Yaris three-door hatch, the Rallye shapes up with lightweight components and performance parts for drivers who want to experience a higher level of performance. Upgrades include race track-tuned GR suspension, Torsen limited-slip differentials on the front and rear axles, an ultra-light highperformance wheel-and-

tyre package and improved front brake ducting for added cooling. The GR Yaris Rallye is powered by the same 1.6-litre, single-scroll turbocharged, threecylinder petrol engine as the GR Yaris, shooting the car from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Recommended driveaway price for the initial 200 vehicles sold is $56,200; recommended retail price is $54,500, plus on-road costs. GR Yaris Rallye is year Toyota Warranty Advantage, seven-year Toyota Warranty Advantage Extended Engine and Driveline, and $260 capped-price services within a sixmonth / 10,000 km period.

Accepting what is

For as long as I can remember, my Grandmother was revered by our family. She was a tremendous cook, an accommodating host and strong advocate for those in the community who needed someone to speak-up. Visitors were always coming and going from Nan’s place. Her kindness knew no bounds, and she was always preparing a meal for someone. She and her sisters had been nurses and people seemed drawn to her nurturing energy. Abundance flowed into Nan’s life and she had a lot of beautiful possessions. I would often try on her jewelry and admire the adornments throughout her home. If a member of the family admired something Nan had, she would tell them to put their name underneath it – so when she passed away, it would be theirs! This became the subject of some light-hearted humour amongst my Mum and her siblings. I am grateful for the many lessons handed down by my Nan. I anticipate she felt a freedom from the concept of her treasures going to a new home and teaching my family the importance of letting go and handing things on. Especially later in her life, Nan actively gave away the majority of her possessions. She indulged her love of giving and experienced their wonder at receiving, each time she passed something on. With each loss, major change and opportunity to let something go from my life, I find an opening, like a space in time that ultimately brings me peace. My practice of accepting ‘what is’, is the gift I give to myself, sooner than the last time. So, as I prepare for the time when my worldly possessions cease to matter to me, I feel a weight is lifted with everything that finds a new home.

OMBUDSMAN WELCOMES FUNDING FOR CRITICAL SMALL BUSINESS MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM The additional funding will allow Beyond Blue to provide an extra six coaches to meet the needs of our small business community

The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson has welcomed the Australian Government’s commitment to renew funding for a critical mental health program

tailored to small business owners. Acting Minister for Small and Family Business Anne Ruston announced today that an additional $4.6 million in funding will ensure Beyond Blue’s

New Access for Small Business Owners program can expand and continue to assist small business owners who need mental health support. A further $2.1 million has also been announced to extend the Small Business Debt Helpline for 2022. “I commend the Australian Government for supporting small business with this vital funding announcement,” Mr Billson says. “Small business owners have endured so much over the past two years, pummelled by the pandemic and natural disasters. The

road to recovery has been lengthy and challenging and that has understandably taken a toll on the bottom line and wellbeing. “Critically, Beyond Blue’s successful New Access for Small Business Owners program will continue to offer free one-on-one telehealth sessions with specially trained mental health coaches providing evidence-based advice on strategies for managing stress. “The additional funding will allow Beyond Blue to provide an extra six coaches to meet the needs of our small business community.

“The success of the New Access for Small Business Owners program is built on it being delivered by coaches who have experience in small business. Being able to speak to someone who understands the mental load of running a small business makes a big difference. “Small business owners who look after their mental health, can also help their business. With this renewed funding in place, help is available to small business owners who need it. “Both the mental counselling support is

welcome, particularly for small business owners who have loans secured against the family home. We know the stakes are incredibly high and that losing the business often means also losing the home.” More information about the NewAccess for Small Business Owners program is available by calling 1300 945 301 or on the Beyond Blue website.

DATA SHOWS WAGE STINGINESS WILL HURT NSW’S ECONOMY, NOT JUST WORKERS New data from the McKell Institute has found the

Perrottet Government’s refusal to countenance wage increases the state’s economic recovery. Two new papers from series have modelled the impact of limiting teachers and Sydney Trains employees to below Premier Dominic Perrottet. The • Teachers will face a real wage cut of $511 each year if they accept the 2.5% public sector wage cap, at 3%. o This will reduce economic activity by $347 million per year (this is based on the RBA’s calculation

that those experiencing a positive change in income will increase their marginal propensity to consume by 0.87.) o Given the large number of teachers in regional communities, the real wage cut will reduce regional economic activity (outside of Sydney) by $135 million. • Sydney Trains employees will face a real wage cut averaging $927.85 per week, given the government has is running at 3% o This loss in wages will reduce economic activity in NSW by $80.1 million Michael Buckland, executive director, The McKell Institute:

2.5 per cent wage cap was never good policy, but it’s egregiously misguided in this current moment. The economic impact of a real wage cut hurts everyone. “If you give a teacher or a rail worker a well-deserved pay rise, they’ll spend it in their community and the local economy gets a boost. There aren’t a lot of teachers with Swiss bank accounts or offshore managed funds. “Dom Perrottet knows the New South Wales economy relies on consumer spending, and there is no better way to do it than by giving public sector workers a muchdeserved pay rise.”

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Testing, one two three “And now a word from the Prime Minister….” “It’s fabulous to be here at the Finger Wharf fish markets frying up a big bit of barra on the barbie, in hi-viz, hair-net, hard hat and hard toes, which I hardly seem to be without since, well, becoming Prime Minister. “Anyway, I’ve called this press conference to announce changes in our covid strategy. Because the Omicron variant is evolving quickly, it’s going to be a very testing time specially when it comes to testing, so we need to foist responsibility back onto the states and individuals. “Yes, scientists and all other countries told us back in October we needed more Rapid Antigen tests, but this was unnecessary because we had PCR tests. “Okay, we need them now because no-one can get a PCR test and can’t get them because we sold them to America, but when we do, they won’t be free because, well, someone has to pay for them eventually, namely taxpayers, and anyway Harvey Norman and Chemist Warehouse haven’t sold out yet. “So if you need a test, get one from them or queue up for four hours for a free (um, $85 taxpayerfunded) PCR test which is no longer possible because they’ve all closed because the staff are on furlough. “So, if you’re showing symptoms, do not get a PCR test, and, actually, don’t go to HN or Chemist Warehouse either, even if they have some because you will infect others. “Stay at home, and maybe try

Uber Swabs.” “If you’re rich and return a positive RAT, call your GP... hang on, what? Sorry, no, don’t do that, they’re busy. Get a free PCR test, or just get another RAT, when they arrive. “Sorry, there’s new data just to hand. RATs will be free for Centrelink recipients, if we get some…and if Harvey Norman and Chemist Warehouse have sold out. “Yes, in order to reduce numbers we’ve changed the definition of ‘close contact’ because otherwise all Australians are. The new definition is ‘if you have been in bed for more than four hours with a positive case, or are Novak Djokovic, you must self-isolate for seven days. Otherwise get back to work, or Serbia. “Hang on...what? No one mentioned four hours? “Okay, okay. If you have symptoms, RATs will be free, because we still don’t have any. “I can’t be any clearer. And I commend Dominic Perrottet for relaxing facemask mandates and QR-codes, and for re-implementing them. “Look, mate, I don’t hold a swab.” Maybe we should all self-isolate for another two years until it all blows over, or there’s an election? Better stock the fridge again. Here’s a few suggestions: Max Crus is a Clarence Valleybased wine writer and Grape Expectations is now in its 26th year of publication.

(From left): 3 Drops Great Southern Riesling 2021; Paracombe Mount Lofty Ranges Nebbiolo 2019; Paracombe Southern Flinders Melrose Shiraz 2017; Calabria Family Wines Barossa Valley Alternato Red Blend 2017; Calabria Family Wines Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019; (below, right) 3 Drops Great Southern Nebbiolo Rose 2020. 3 Drops Great Southern Nebbiolo Rosé 2020, $26. Quite subtle rosé which packs a punch at the same time. If we only had someone in government like that, this whole mess might be over. 9.1/10. 3 Drops Great Southern Riesling 2021, $26. WA riesling is a whole different kettle of fish, which would make a nice accompaniment, although whether they need to come in a kettle is debatable. And pay attention, this is probably better than you first think. 9.4/10. Paracombe Mount Lofty Ranges Nebbiolo 2019, $37. At last a party with guests happy to try something new. Well you would after two years in lockdown, wouldn’t you? Characterful, interesting stuff not a million miles from your standard fare of Aussie reds. 9.3/10. Paracombe Southern Flinders Melrose Shiraz, 2017, $37. Sometimes you can be surprised by how expensive things are, like RATs, or how cheap, like this. Fabulous, full bodied and flavoured shiraz for a very fair price. Easily worth a whole box of RATs. 9.6/10. Calabria Family Wines Barossa Valley Alternato Red Blend (Durif, Nero d’Avola, Montepulciano, Shiraz) 2017, $45. You expect something different in a short, stubby, John Howard kind of bottle, even though he isn’t but this definitely is. Indeed it’s soft, smooth, rich, and delicious stuff. 9.5/10. Calabria Family Wines Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019, $25. Barossan cabernet flies under the radar somewhat but it’s always ripe and ready and in your face, unlike a lot of cooler climate versions. So take your mask off first. More tradie cabernet than immigration lawyer. 9.1/10.

PREMIER LEAGUE CRICKET TIM HOWARD It was a weekend of upsets in the GDSC Premier League cricket competitions in Grafton. At cricket HQ, Ellem Oval, Easts/Westlawn scrambled to a onewicket win in a low scoring affair. For Easts/Westlawn neither opener Pat Vidler, with 20 number six, Aaron McFadyen, 18, could top extras which headed the scorecard with 22. But the total of 9/92 from 26 overs proved too tall an order for Tucabia, bowled out for 90 in the 31st over. Number nine Travls Anderson, top scoring with 21, nearly got the premiers home after they had crashed to 8-55. McFadyen topped his batting efforts with a devastating bowling

Adrian Boyd struck hard with 2-3 from four overs and Josh Amos, with 2-11 from seven overs, kept the pressure on the batters. The most pressure on the bowling side came from the big thunderstorm brewing in the south, which hung off long enough to bowl the 35 overs needed to secure the points. Next weekend, Brothers and Easts/ Westlawn clash at Ellem Oval and Souths and Tucabia play at McKittrick Park. Easts/Westlawn top
