Some sweet relief for sugar industry SAMANTHA ELLEY Despite all three sugar mills on the Northern Rivers being impacted by the recent flood event, Sunshine Sugar’s CEO, Chris Connors is confident the annual crush will go ahead this year as normal as possible. “Terrible, that’s all you need to write,” he said when asked how the sugar industry fared. “A lot of cane went under water. “The two year old cane will recover. The one year old cane took a lot of damage but it may recover, depending on the weather from here on in. “We are not expecting same crop as last year. “The biggest issue is a lot of mud and silt that will come in with the cane. Processing won’t

be easy.” Each mill received varying reports of damage with Broadwater being the hardest hit. “Condong had just under two metres go through,” said Mr Connors. “Broadwater is not so great, it had three metres go through it.” Damages listed for Broadwater include numerous motors, pumps and control systems as well as some office buildings, workshops and equipment. The co-generation plants co-located at the Condong and Broadwater sites were also impacted by the flood and have recovery plans in place to get back on-line. “Harwood had less than a metre,” said Mr Connors.

“There is still a lot of work to be done but the refinery is still operating.” Flood waters did not reach the Harwood packing floor, raw sugar shed or any of the warehouses which operate all year. Although some buildings and equipment experienced inundation, the site is expected to be fully operational ahead of the annual crush. “Despite the challenges ahead, we are confident of having the three mills up and running for the 2022 crush,” said Mr Connors. “The business has insurance policies in place and a claims assessment team is currently on-site coordinating the work to be undertaken, establishing a recovery plan and appointing

appropriate contractors. “These people are highly qualified to manage such a recovery and bring the resources, contacts, and inventory access needed in managing the recovery effort.” Outside of the milling operations, Sunshine Sugar has people actively out talking to growers and assessing crops, farm infrastructure and cane pads. “Some growers have lost tractors, sheds and their homes,” said Mr Connors. “Sugar cane is a very resilient crop. It will recover after a week in water.” The same cannot be said for the soya bean crops, a break cash crop cane farmers often plant. “The soya bean crops were totally destroyed.”

Weekend escape to Tweed Heads yields $2.8m win A Wollongong man is returning from a weekend away at Tweed Heads with more than a tan after reigning in a $2.8 million Keno 10 Spot win. The Illawarra resident held a Keno Classic 10 Spot winning entry in draw 798, drawn Saturday 26 March 2022. His total prize was $2,807,864.80. Speaking with an official from Keno this morning, the cheery winner explained he put on his winning entry while on a short holiday in the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales. “It’s so surreal! I still can’t believe it,” he laughed. “We were on holiday in Tweed Heads, and we decided to go to a pub for some food. While we were there, we put a game of Keno on. “We were driving back to our holiday home and saw that the

Keno 10 Spot went off in Banora Point, and that’s where we put our game of Keno on! “We weren’t sure if it was us who had won the prize because you never know if it will actually be you – you never expect to win big. “It eventually clicked that we’d won the Keno 10 Spot prize, and we went crazy! “We’ve been renting for a while now, and we’ve always wanted to purchase our very own home, so this is life-changing. “It will take a while to process!” His winning entry was purchased at Twins Towns Club Banora, Leisure Dr, Banora Point. Twins Towns Club Banora Gaming Manager Ben Wilkinson said everyone in the community was talking about the exciting win.

SAMANTHA ELLEY Lismore City Council meeting was opened catastrophic disaster that befell the city in the last month. Mayor Steve Krieg acknowledged the police, the volunteers, the emergency services and council staff for all their hard work. The mayoral minute endorsed a Lismore City to accept donations for the purpose of disaster recovery and community support. The natural disaster that was declared on 3 March, 2022 caused hundreds of millions of dollars damage across the city. Following the natural disaster declaration, Lismore City Council

can now apply for Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status for the Lismore Flood Fund, allowing donors to make income tax deductible donations. The establishment of the fund was passed unanimously. Cr Elly Bird put in an urgency motion to acknowledge the destruction, heartache and loss in the Lismore community. “I acknowledge the statements the mayor made at the beginning of the meeting, but I think it is incredibly important that given the event that we are living through, that council has a minuted resolution that acknowledges what happened to us as a community,” she said. “I do want to acknowledge that lives

were lost in this event that we have just lived through. We know that hundreds more people were stranded and were rescued and were provided immediate relief by community. of tinnies and jet-skis and kayaks that saved our community, that brought them out of into welcoming arms at the very edges of that disaster. “In the middle of a catastrophe like this… community rises to the fore, community saves community so I acknowledge the incredible leadership and instant action that has been undertaken by communities.” Goonellabah development

An application refused by the previous council was given support by a number of members of the public in the public access section of the meeting for a 92 lot subdivision at Goonellabah. Back in November 2020 council received a development application for the subdivision at 805 and 811 Ballina Road, Goonellabah. The DA was refused against staff recommendation on the grounds that it would impact the natural and built environment, that the site was unsuitable and it wasn’t in the public interest. An attempt to rescind the decision in October 2021 was defeated. Fast forward to January 2022 and a new application for council to

It is also in close proximity to Eastpoint Shopping Village. After discussions by councillors where three spoke for the review and two against, the decision was carried nine to two. Rail trail The Northern Rivers Rail Trail was on topic in the meeting, with previous mayor Jenny Dowell speaking in public access for the project. The Federal Government has provided funding for the construction of the 16.3km section from Bentley to the Lismore

Railway Station at a total of $9,863,615. Pat Grier, president of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail said this project will give hope to the Lismore people. “It will be fast-tracked, creating jobs straight away in construction but also give the opportunity for businesses and other jobs coming from those businesses,” he said. The vote to endorse the execution of the funding deed with the Federal government and include regular updates be provided to council on the planning for this project and actions to mitigate the project risks was accepted eight to two, with Cr Guise leaving the room.

Councillors ignore community TIM HOWARD A new perk of office has proved irresistible to the new Clarence Valley Council, although it seems not many will take it up straight away. Last Tuesday councillors voted 5-3 to allow those who wanted to receive superannuation, on top of their council allowances, to claim it. To do so it had to vote down a motion from Cr Jeff Smith to knock back the State Government’s offer to allow payment of 10% superannuation on top of the councillor’s fees. He said council should show leadership in a community that has experienced hardships from bushfires, floods and pandemics and he found it “ethically obscene” to accept superannuation of top of the current payment. “We can show some leadership and some clear direction that this council understand the pain economically that’s going on outside of these walls,” he said. Cr Smith also took the opportunity to downplay an argument used in favour of paying councillors more money: that it encouraged younger people to nominate for council. “I’ve never met an under-30 that has been motivated by superannuation packages,” he said. “I know they’re motivated by far, far greater ideals than that. “When I was running

for election I asked 11 people whether they would run for council – and they all had very good excuses – but … none of them involved pay and none of them involved superannuation of the lack thereof.” He said council should nip this proposal in the bud because it was not the right time to consider paying councillors more. “Next month we will be discussing rates and other such budgetary measures,” he said. “There’s going to be some tightening of the belt all over within this valley and it’s a bad look for us to be granting ourselves this money as small as it may be. “As a symbolic and leadership gesture I’d like to see council reject this motion.”

Cr Smith had support from Cr Debrah Novak and Cr Alison Whaites, but other councillors had a different approach. While most councillors indicated they would not claim the super payments, they liked the choice if might offer a potential candidate. Cr Peter Johnstone light heartedly made the point better pay for councillors could attract better candidates. “There’s an old saying about peanuts and monkeys,” he said. “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. “And due to peanuts, that’s why you’ve got this monkey here.” More seriously he linked paying councillors to England’s Chartists, whose vocal leaders found themselves

on convict boats to Australia because of their opposition to government policy. “They tried to make sure that parliamentarians were paid an amount that would allow ordinary people to stand for parliament. Not just those who had an income or a business of their own to support them to do that,” he said. “The Chartists were very success because from the very beginning MPs in Australia I understand MPs were paid here and over in the UK I understand it was 1911 before that happened. “The principal is the same one. Money need not be a reason that people would

not choose to go on council.” Cr Johnstone reiterated that councillors could decide not to accept super payments, but it created an opportunity for councillors to do so in the future. “I’d like it to be something that made a difference perhaps to increasing our representation from the community,” he said. Cr Whaites was scathing about prospect of councillors receiving superannuation. She said council’s financial position, coming on top of a council decision to employ an

assistant to councillors and the mayor, was not good enough to justify it. “Why are our roads in such a bad state and our community is not very happy about that,” she said. Cr Whaites said extra councillor expenses agreed to by this council amounted to $100,000 but could not see any increased productivity to cover it.

He said most were retired, self employed, plus one school teacher. “We don’t have any single parents, people from disadvantaged backgrounds, as far as I know,” he said. “We need to encourage more people to stand up for community. “We have the opportunity with this motion as it stand to say no to super. But we have to think about the councillors coming in the future.” Deputy mayor Greg Clancy said the argument that improving pay for councillors was serious. “I know when I mix with people at local government conferences this is a real issue, particularly for women and young people, regardless of the

representation around the table here,” he said. “The women here may not want it. I won’t be claiming superannuation. But it’s not about us. It’s about the whole system. “And we should have a system where councillors can be comfortable in receiving a remuneration that is reasonable, and this is not unreasonable, what we get. “Superannuation is one benefit some people really need. A lot of women retire, end up living in cars or

whatever because they don’t have superannuation.” He said councillor should stop worrying about a small group in the community who condemn councillors for accepting fees. “There’s a small percentage of the community who want councillors to work for

nothing, but they’re not prepared to come on council and work for nothing,” he said. After the meeting Mayor Ian Tiley, who voted to accept the opportunity to receive superannuation, said he had sympathy for Cr Smith’s position and the need to recognise many

in the community were doing it tough. But he said the actual amounts of money involved were small in the scheme of things for council. He pointed out the opportunity had only come about because of a lengthy campaign from Local Government NSW to change legislation to enable

councillors to be paid superannuation. “The previous council made a rod for its own back when it didn’t take annual pay increases, which was about 2.5% for about five years,” he said. “I then tried to catch up in one fell swoop and it made headlines of course. “If you’re a serious councillors there’s no way the money adequately recompenses you for your time.”

FAILURE TO PROTECT Our government has one overarching duty: to protect our population. The last years have shown Scott Morrison, Barnaby Joyce, Dominic Perrottet and Kevin Hogan failing again and again to adequately protect us in our hours of need, instead leaving the dangerous and essential work of keeping us alive and protected to unpaid volunteers and independent community services.

Alan Mosley Yamba RENT TO BUY AND KIBBUTZ’S It’s about time with the housing crises Australia wide that rent to buy should be put on the table especially for those in housing commission places that would then enable money from that to go to more housing stock being built. Furthermore, the idea of kibbutz’s might be a great idea to create at least in the short term a way of getting people both food and housing while creating wealth through sales of food through farmers markets. In addition. People should only be allowed houses or units then anymore houses they own should be put out to low-income earners where the owner landlord could get a tax break of two or three thousand dollars but not negatively geared thus balancing out whether or not owner may want units thus selling their excess stock putting more houses and units back on the market.

government to do this Lismore is shocking. This government is spending billions on expensive roads and tunnels in Sydney while in the Northern Rivers many people have nowhere to live. Some communities are still cut off after 3 weeks because of landslips and road damage. For decades now political thinking in the major parties has moved away from providing great public services community. Instead, they support big companies to general public. We need to vote for people who will look after everyone. The last few weeks in Lismore have shown just how much our community cares about that.

So ‘Scotty from the loony left and ‘each way Albo’ is equally denigrated by the ratbag right. The good news for NRT readers is that idealogues from the political fringe have very little to do with election outcomes and such will be the case this time around. As ever this election will be decided by the almost apolitical good folk from the centre of the political spectrum. Both Scomo and Albo know they are in with a chance should they sway the uncommitted to their cause. This is one of the treasured aspects of democracy - some votes do count more than others! Ted Strong Seelands A LETTER “TOO FAR” Dear Editor, I appreciate reading your “letters” and have noticed that G Macdonald is a regular correspondent who adds dissension amongst the readers.

I believe he went too far in his rant of the 17th March when he called the devasted residents of Lismore as a “lefty green rent a crowd”. Presumeably this was because they demonstrated to get the PM’s attention to their plight. If G. Macdonald can recall the federal governments reaction to Cyclone Tracy’s devastation in 1974, the governments reaction to Lismore being destroyed was a lot less. There was no evacuation of the homeless, no creation of a federally resposible agency to start rebuilding etc. As the mayor of Lismore said, it was not a catastrophe. I will no longer bother to read G Macdonald of Pimlico’s letters as I realize they are a waste of space in your newspaper. M. Nichols Ulmarra WOMEN’S POLITICAL PARTY Just a thought be why don’t women start their own political party they’re always saying there’s not enough women in parliament so if they had their own party, they would have plenty. Furthermore, they would garner nearly 100 percent of the vote from women across the country. And be a force against the liberal labour and green domination of politics basically replacing the democrats. Alan Mosley Yamba

CONSIDERATION – THE STAR OF THOUGHT by Nigel Dawe

n life, over the long haul, you see many different things undertaken for many different reasons - but it’s the actions prompted by consideration, that rise to the top in terms of things you’ll ever see. Relatedly, the word ‘consideration’ stems from an old Latin term that broadly meant ‘to observe and contemplate’; mysteriously hidden within this concept’s explanation linage is also the ancient root term for ‘star’, denoting the act of staring up at the night sky in awe. Little wonder, the headstone of one of the thinkers, Immanuel Kant reads: “Two ever new and increasing admiration and awe… the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.” English is a funny language, or perhaps I’m just a funny user of the world’s most broadly applied means to make ourselves known. As such, I remember thinking as a child how strange adding one simple ‘in’ to the front of a word turns that word into its opposite, i.e. ‘inconsiderate’, ‘inability’, ‘insensitive’; a shame when we say: “I am in debt”, that the same rule doesn’t apply! The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato, once noted: “The love of learning is more than just a mere pretence”, in a similar vein: a deep regard for consideration, and incorporating this quality into your behavioural repertoire, is more than just a mere The American civil rights activist, Marian Wright Edelman once reinforced: “Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any

college degree.” Consideration is one thing, but being considerate at the right time, perhaps when the odds are stacked – is quite another. I remember reading Oscar Wilde’s ‘De Profundis’ and he explained whilst being led amidst jeers from the courtroom (that condemned him to twoof his friends doffed his hat in respect to him as he walked past, and how it was the most touching gesture he’d ever received. On any given day, you so often see the ‘cheap shot’ unleashed between people, which is just the feeble-rant offshoot of consideration. They are observations made and then expressed that have an abject lack of decency and social grace, and scream inadequacy or threat of some kind in the mind of the person who makes these ‘worthless’ comments that simply aim to demean or offend. The considerate person makes their way through the world like a gentle interactional of decency and regard, thoughtful harbingers that help to raise life to a level of being supremely worthwhile. There is a natural air or default certainty to consideration that can’t be feigned, as Robert Brault once suggested: “Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.” Relatedly, as if he were re-drafting the 10 commandments in a modern guise, Earl Nightingale once formulated the notion: “Our rewards in life will always be in exact proportion to the amount of consideration we show toward others.”

Primex: “We’re here for farmers and our community after flood disaster” One of the country’s most comprehensive agricultural trade field days is offering much-needed flood relief and support for farmers and the community. Norco Primex director Bruce Wright was heartbroken to see the devastation caused by floods across the Northern Rivers and parts of Queensland, and said Primex was ready to help with the rebuild. Primex has provided an ‘open gate’ policy at its venue in Casino, in Northern NSW, with Local Land Services offering an emergency fodder distribution centre, a helicopter drop service and base, support for animals and livestock, and a veterinary hospital. Recovery agencies are also using the grounds. “This flood disaster has had an extensive effect on our region but has further strengthened our resolve

and determination to stage the best possible event,” Mr Wright said. “By making sure that Primex goes ahead this year, we can create access to products and services that are critically needed at this time. “There are hundreds of businesses, family operations and organisations in our region which rely on Primex

as a means of building their own business, especially as they now look to kick-start their recovery. We are determined to make the event a success for them and our community.” Norco Primex 2022 has already filled 70 per cent of exhibitor spots and is on track to be the largest Primex in several years. Primex

aims to achieve close to 400 exhibitors and an anticipated 30,000 visitors over the three days. It will be held from May 19-21. Vital partnerships build pathway to success Mr Wright said Primex’s strong relationships with its partners and exhibitors had been a key factor to its

success since 1985. “We are now very pleased to confirm we have signed a new and exciting partnership arrangement with long-term Primex partner, Norco,” he said. “This reaffirms one of the longest partnership any field days event in Australia has had, meaning Norco Primex will continue through to the event’s 40th anniversary celebrations in 2024.” The event’s iconic presence in the region has also led to a new partnership with North Coast Local Land Services. Another important partnership is with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, with Primex now incorporating the former Lismore Outdoor Leisure Show, highlighting the latest equipment in caravan camping, outdoor recreation, and lifestyle.

There will be minor changes to the existing traffic conditions. “The current one-way traffic will remain, however this section of Scenic Drive will be closed from 10 am to 1 pm on Thursday 31 March and Friday 1 April as geotechnical specialists will be drilling the roadway embankment for soil testing. “Unfortunately, the 3-hour closures over the 2 days will isolate residents in Mount Bilinga Circuit and the section of Scenic Drive

between the 2 slips. Arrangements will be in place to ensure emergency vehicles have access. “We apologise for any inconvenience and ask for your patience as we work towards a more permanent repair.” Once the drilling activities are completed, large concrete barriers will be installed at the road closure. “I cannot stress enough the dangers of driving through closed roads,” Mr Rose said. “Roads are closed to keep motorists safe. Tampering with road closed signs or barriers

is a serious offence and could result in someone being hurt or killed. Please don’t remove or tamper with them.” Council estimates damage to the Tweed’s road network by the recent flood could cost around $40 million and take up to 2 years to repair, with more than 1,700 repair jobs already logged. For more information and to keep up to date with what’s happening on the roads, visit MyRoadInfo or the Tweed Emergency Dashboard.

“Our staff have worked extremely hard through the constant changes and now we have a centre that offers something for everyone in our community.” GSAC Acting Assistant Manager Bryce Keniry said the programs are run by expert staff and professionals. “There is something for everyone and we have a jam-packed program that suit both adults and

kids, and all segments of our community, so now is a great time to join,” he said. “Our Swimsations Learn to Swim program is a great way to start your child’s swimming journey and caters to all swimming levels in a heated pool. “Our Switch Fitness gym is packed with stateof-the-art equipment

Understand the flood impact on our business community The catastrophic storm and flood event of March 2022 has had a devastating impact on the Lismore community and businesses across our entire Local Government Area. As part of Lismore City Council’s efforts to support the business community, we are asking all local businesses - small and large - to complete the Business Flood Impact Assessment Survey. This will help us get a clear picture of the

number of businesses affected and the extent of damage. Lismore City Council General Manager John Walker said Council was drawing on experiences learnt following the 2017 flood. “It is hard to fathom the extent of the damage caused by this disaster unless you walk the streets, including through our industrial estates. “The more data we are able to collect from all businesses about

the impact of the flood, the fuller picture we can paint for the government and the more likely we can get greater financial assistance,” he said. “This survey will help us, help you. That is why we need as many local businesses to fill in our survey so we can present your circumstances to government.” To take part in the survey, go to www. yoursay.lismore.nsw. gov.au

Staffing locked in for flood-affected schools Flood-affected communities across NSW will have staffing numbers at their local schools locked in for the remainder of the year. The NSW Government is continuing to support severely flood-impacted communities by making 33 schools in the Northern Rivers region eligible for Disaster Supplementation for the

remainder of 2022. Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said this decision means any temporary enrolment fluctuations in these schools would not affect their teaching and support staffing. “Our experience with recent natural disasters has shown how important it is to provide

students, staff and their families with stability throughout these difficult times,” Ms Mitchell said. The Disaster Supplementation Program was originally launched in 2018 to prevent any fluctuation in school enrolments from leading to a reduction in school staff in drought-impacted communities.

16 NEWS The former tourism information centre at the southern entrance to Grafton, has been the subject of a bizarre vote at Clarence Valley Council’s last meeting.

Bizarre vote mirrors feelings over tourism centre sale TIM HOWARD A councillor who moved a motion which he immediately said he would vote against has captured the mood of the council and the community says Clarence Valley mayor Ian Tiley. At last Tuesday’s council meeting during debate on dealing with the controversial sale of the South Grafton Tourism Information Centre, Cr Peter Johnstone moved against the staff recommendation. The back story has been the TIC had been controversially closed in 2017 and slated for sale since 2019. Because of its zoning, attempts to sell the building for a sum above $1million had been unsuccessful and council had resolved to leave responsibility for disposing of the asset in the hands of the general manager.

In late November then general manager Ashley Lindsay accepted an offer for the building just before he left to go on leave as part of his departure from the council. It also happened in the lead up to the local government election, where the future of the TIC, was a key plank of then candidate Bill Day’s campaign. Other candidates, such as Ian Tiley and Greg Clancy, also indicated they would support reactivating the TIC in the right conditions. Given the level of political and public interest in the future of the building it was surprising news that an offer had been accepted was not made public. Acting general manager Laura Black said it appeared this had occurred as the potential buyer asked for details of the sale to be confidential. The election went

ahead with candidates and voters making decisions and promises based on an incorrect assumption about a hotly debated issue. Cr Tiley has been critical of this attitude. He said after his election, when he first learned the sale was in progress, that councillors should have been notified and that it was right for outside bodies to direct council’s actions. Ms Black said she has sought legal advice about what can be revealed, but said there had been nothing forthcoming. She also said if the council were to renege on the sale at this point it could cost the council more than $100,000. It was against this background that Cr Johnstone moved that the council overturn the officers’ recommendation to go ahead with the sale, including support for a rezoning of the site.

Cr Greg Clancy was also concerned about the what had happened to the eels and turtle which had been removed from the pond on the site. “The turtles are a protected species,” he said. Cr Tiley ruled this question out of order as it did not relate to the planning issues. During debate Cr Johnstone explained why he had brought a motion to council which he had no intention of voting for. “I don’t want to take any action which will put the council in trouble,” he said. “This motion comes at the end of a very long process, but I don’t want agree with it.” He said the tourist information centre with its pond and fountain was a beautiful part of town that gave tourist a positive impression of the region. Cr Clancy said he was sorry the TIC had

been sold without the councillors knowing about the sale and other activities. He said it likely the new owners would concrete over the pond, removing habitat for the turtles, eels and the white faced herons which nested in the tree next to the TIC building. “All these things happened to the site without it coming to council,” he said. Cr Karen Toms said she had misgiving about the sale, but the council could not turn back now. “Let’s be honest,” she said. “We gave the general manager delegate authority and we can’t change it now because we’ve changed our minds. In his right of reply, Cr Johnstone said he had deliberately raised a motion, which he would not support, because it mirrored the situation he believed the majority of councillors and many in the community found

themselves. “I’m voting against my own motion because I do not want to put council to financial or legal costs,” he said. “But I believe there is a widespread feeling in the community that they wanted to retain the building as a tourist information centre. “It will no longer be a beautiful site at the entrance to town and there is disappointment in past decisions to close it down. But I am not sure we had any choice to do otherwise.” The council voted down Cr Johstone’s motion 7-1 with Cr Clancy against. The foreshadowed motion to accept the officer recommendation to push ahead with the sale and rezoning was accepted 6-2, with Crs Clancy and Johnstone against.

Vandals have two bites at cricket HQ TIM HOWARD A group of vengeful vandals have Grafton cricket pitch curator Tony Blanch worried about a possible campaign of damage to Grafton’s premier cricket ground, Ellem Oval. Blanch said after the conclusion of the premier league semiWestlawn and South Services on March 21, he and some players had stopped a group of young people from damaging the wicket surface. “There was a few of us still there after the game when we saw this group of kids on bikes doing donuts on the wicket,” he said. “So me and a couple of players went out there and hunted them off.” He said there was a verbal altercation between the cricketers and the young people, but they left after delivering a volley of vile abuse. But they returned as Blanch discovered on Wednesday to discover the pitch covered in skid marks from up to six pushbikes. “The sprinklers were all broken and the hoses had all been cut up,” he said.

“They had broken into the storage shed where the roller was stored. Luckily it didn’t seem like they had done much damage there.” It is not just the ground surface the vandals have targeted. The $80,000 picket fence around the ground has also been targeted, with four panels near the skate park almost totally destroyed. “Fence pickets had been broken off and were scattered between the boundary and wicket centre,” he said. “But it’s more than the pickets, they’ve actually broken off the cross rails as well.” Blanch said in the past two seasons there have been confrontations between young people at

the park and cricketers “I don’t know who they are, but I recognised a few faces from other times when there’s been trouble,” he said. “Last season we had one game where one of them rode a bike onto the ground and stopped play. “I saw a few of them at the ground on Sunday.” Blanch has contacted police and the council, but they have been limited in how they can respond. “The police said unless there’s not much they can do unless they have real proof of them doing anything,” he said. “The council has been talking about getting a security camera there, but so far nothing has

happened.” He said the toilet block near the skatepark has vandalised so often it’s kept closed except for daylight hours. He said the police had promised to make extra patrols near the ground, which he hoped might keep the vandals at bay. The trail of destruction nor the rain which turned up did not stop Mr Blanch from preparing a between minor premiers Tucabia Copmanhurst and South Services. Unfortunately the rain came again over the weekend with only Sunday, denying Souths the opportunity of chasing down Tucabia’s total of 168.

Staff praised for incredible efforts There are many stories of loss and heartbreak coming from our beautiful Clarence Valley over the last few weeks. Like many others in our community, Mareeba Aged Care in Maclean has done an amazing job going “above and beyond” to care for residents during the major flooding. Facility manager Rachel Bennett said Mareeba was very

fortunate to have an amazing team across all departments. “We successfully managed full evacuations of the first floor to relocate all residents, staff and essential supplies to our second floor. Like the rest of the Lower Clarence community, these flood levels were unlike anything we had experienced before and even our usual

contingency plans had to be ramped up to deal with this ever-changing event,” she said. Catering staff kept their work colleagues and residents fed, while the clinical team managed the care of more than 100 residents around the clock, often at the expense of their own sleep and rest. Rachel said members of the Leisure, Lifestyle, Catering

and Maintenance Departments stepped in to do roles outside of their normal responsibilities. “Many staff stayed in local accommodation or at Mareeba itself as they selflessly prioritised Mareeba and the residents over their own homes and isolation,” she said. “Due to our efficient teamwork our residents remained safe and well,

despite the pressure on staff, and were neither stressed nor panicked about the flood. Staff were always on hand to provide reassurance and the contact many residents were missing due to the separation from their families.” As floodwaters receded and roads reopened, other staff members returned to work, providing much-needed relief and support for the

“Flood Crew of 2022”. Rachel said Mareeba’s management team was incredibly proud of their staff, their ability to adapt to the constantly changing conditions and how everyone continued to work together for the safety and well-being of our residents. Thanks also to the members of our local community who volunteered to assist during this time of crisis.

Lifestyle Resort welcomes first homeowners Thyme Lifestyle Resort Evans Head has officially welcomed its first homeowners to its luxury, boutique-sized over-50s lifestyle community located just moments from the beach. The new homeowners were welcomed by Serenitas CEO Rob Nichols and the wider Thyme Lifestyle Resort team. Serenitas CEO Rob Nichols says, “We are thrilled to be welcoming our first homeowners into this new community. Thyme Evans Head offers the opportunity to rightsize and transition into a new phase of life in a stunning coastal location. The Evans Head region, with its beautiful beaches, coastal walks and waterways, coupled with the vibrancy of the town centre, is a perfect location for those who want to get the most out of life.”

Homeowners were treated to celebratory champagne and lunch as well as being presented with the keys to their new home. Among the resort’s first homeowners are Rosemary and Don Larnach, who have been living in their motorhome since selling their family home in March 2021. “At our age, this is the lifestyle we want. Evans Head has beautiful beaches and a lovely river. We absolutely love the beach, and we have a 4WD, which we can drive onto the beach to go fishing. The flexibility to just drive away in our motorhome and know that everything is taken care of is reassuring and perfect for us,” says Rosemary. “We’re looking forward to this new lifestyle and building friendships with the people in the community, who we’ve already gotten to know. There’s already been lots of parties and opportunities to meet other likeminded people, and we are thrilled to be moving into our new home and the next stage of our lives,” Rosemary adds. New Thyme Evans Head homeowners Peter and Diana Prior are excited to move into the resort. “Both Peter and I have worked full-time all our lives, rarely getting time off, so moving into a resort-style lifestyle community felt like a very natural next step. An important requirement for us was finding somewhere that was pet friendly – we have a gorgeous dog called Monty, who, of course, is coming with us on this new journey,” says Diana.

Save the date for truck show The countdown to one of Australia’s favourite truck shows is officially on, with the announcement the 2022 North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show will be held on Saturday 6 August. The event is being

coordinated by Richmond Valley Council, with support from the NCP Casino Truck Show Organising Committee. Celebrating its ninth year, Council’s Events team is busily setting the scene for

Government establishes independent flood inquiry Acting Premier Paul Toole has established an independent flood inquiry to examine and report on the causes of, preparedness for, response to, and recovery from, the 2022 catastrophic flood event. Professor Mary O’Kane AC and Michael Fuller APM have been engaged to lead the Inquiry. It will report on: • the causes of and factors contributing to the frequency, intensity, timing and location of floods; • preparation and planning by agencies and the community for floods in NSW; • responses to floods, particularly measures to protect life, property and the environment; • the transition from incident response to recovery; • recovery, including housing, clean-up, financial support, community engagement and longer-term

community rebuilding. The Inquiry will consider and, if warranted, make recommendations on a range of matters, including: • the safety of emergency services and community first responders; • current and future land use planning and management and building standards in flood prone locations across NSW; • appropriate action to adapt to future flood risks to communities and their surrounds; • coordination and collaboration between all levels of government. Mr Toole said the review would ensure NSW can quickly get on with improving its preparation for, and response to, flood risk. “We have always said we will take whatever action we can to improve our management of natural disasters, and this

inquiry is an important step in that process,” Mr Toole said. “The Inquiry will sit alongside our flood recovery efforts, and we’ll continue to put everything we can into ensuring we get impacted people and communities back on their feet as quickly as possible.” The Inquiry is required to report to the Premier on causation, land use planning and management and related matters by 30 June 2022, and on all other matters by 30 September 2022. “The reviewers will travel to and consult directly with affected communities, and details of public consultation and submission making opportunities will be published soon,” Mr Toole said. Full terms of reference for the inquiry are available at: www.nsw. gov.au/flood inquiry.

Reserve Creek Road expected to remain closed for months Diversions will remain on Reserve Creek Road for at least 6 months after a geotechnical assessment found the roadway to be significantly undermined and too dangerous for temporary repairs. Council is excavating the remaining road to prevent motorists from by-passing barricades blocking the roadway, which was severely damaged by a major landslide during the recent flood. It is expected Reserve Creek Road will be closed for 6–12 months, in the area of the landslip. Council’s Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said the geotechnical assessment provided an understanding of the

full extent of the flood damage to Reserve Creek Road. “To ensure the safety of road users, Reserve Creek Road will remain closed until permanent repairs can be made,” Mr Rose said. “Unfortunately there are no reasonable short-

term repair options for this road, with the road significantly undermined by a 15-metre nearvertical landslip. “Additional cracking has also been observed in the road surface, telling us the pavement is unstable and could give way at any time,

particularly with the next rainfall.” Crews are on site this week to remove the unstable section of the road and install additional barricades. Further geotechnical investigations will follow to determine the permanent repair to the

road. “To those who use Reserve Creek Road, especially residents of the area, we apologise for any inconvenience and ask for your patience as we work towards a more permanent repair,” Mr Rose said. “Roads are closed to keep motorists safe. Tampering with road closed signs or barriers is a serious offence and could result in someone being hurt or killed. Please don’t remove or tamper with them.” Further geotechnical assessments are underway at several other sites in the Tweed, including at Scenic Drive at Bilambil Heights and Tyalgum Road, near Tyalgum, where major landslips occurred. A slope used by

motorists to drive through the major slip on Tyalgum Road has been removed by Council crews and motorists are reminded again not to attempt to cross this dangerous slip. Council estimates damage to the Tweed’s road network by the recent flood could cost around $40 million and take up to 2 years to repair, with more than 1,700 repair jobs already logged – and rising. For more information and to keep up to date with what’s happening on the roads, visit MyRoadInfo or the Tweed Emergency Dashboard.

The Church frontman Steve Kilbey is heading to the rising star of coastal destinations for an an intimate acoustic performance of the band’s two seminal albums — The Blurred Crusade and Of Skins and Heart — delivered in track order and accompanied by personal commentary that delves into the life and times of that music, in a revealing and entertaining two-hour show. This article could probably still be an effective catalyst for getting bums on seats but why waste 20 mins of conversation with one of Australian music’s true internationalists. English-born Australian Kilbey, has come out the other side of being in an 80’s band in good shape. Not only physically for a product of that era of the rock and roll landscape, but also with his soul intact. The latter is down to the carbon-level determination it took to make the music they wanted to, and one of the reasons The Church are still able to play that music today. “We avoided a lot of that 80s palaver. We reacted against New Romantics and synth pop. We were kind of trying to be classic band. A band that was around in the 60s and 70s was what we were aiming for. Not the 80s.” The singer described The Church as the “diametric opposite” to local bands of the After a few false starts due to Steve Kilbey from The Church will perform his acoustic show at the Club on April 8.

We’re off to play a huge festival in the US in May (Cruel World Festival alongside Blondie, Morrissey, Devo, Psychedelic Furs, Echo and the Bunnymen and the likes). We’re the only Australian band on that bill.” While Kilbey and The Church looked to their heroes The Beatles, Bob Dylan and David Bowie for their inspiration, it didn’t bode well with record producers at the time. “At the time it was very hard because we were being assaulted everywhere we went. When Spandau Ballet came out a guy from EMI said ‘come in to my song To Cut A long Story Short and said ‘Mate, if you don’t get like that, you won’t have a career in six months’. So I had to say well that’s your opinion but we like what we do.” Kilbey said for a period, every record company and manager they worked with were trying to turn The Church into something else. “They thought I was deliberately not writing commercial songs to be silly, stick it up them. It’s easy to look back now and feel we were battling the zeitgeist so I’m glad we stuck to our guns. You put on the Blue Crusade now and you don’t f***ing cringe.” Despite the

passage of time, Kilbey was aware of the reputation “The Church guys” had back in the 80s “the moody, strange dark, paisley shirt, eye-liner wearing troublemakers.” “People have this image of me from 42 years ago when I was frosty but now I’m a real joker. The show is amusing. It’s not an unenjoyable experience. It’s a riot. Looking back on that period, it’s all really funny this pop stardom thing. “These days whole families (generations) turn up to our shows. They talk about their favourite era, favourite band members, favourite memories. That happens very much at every gig.” Steve Kilbey will be appearing at the Yamba Bowling Club on Friday, April 8. Tickets available through the venue’s website.

TRAVEL 29

Discover Queensland

What’s new The Tropical North Queensland city of Cairns has never been so ready to welcome back travellers. In late 2020 Flynn Crystalbrook opened, the collection’s third luxury Cairn’s hotel in as many years, followed by the slick Whiskey and Wine rooftop bar in 2021. The team behind favourite Cairns watering holes Wolf Lane Distillery, Three Wolves and Flamingos Tiki Bar have also opened a new neighbourhood bar, The Fox Small Bar, and your way from the airport into the city. Take a stroll along the Esplanade Dining Precinct which has also been reinvigorated, now playing host to an abundance of fresh

alfresco dining options. Home of the Arts (HOTA) welcomed a new $60.5 million gallery in 2021 on the Gold Coast. The largest gallery outside a capital city in Australia, the six-level HOTA Gallery is dedicated to local and international exhibitions that challenge visitors to immerse themselves in creative ideas. Designed by international architects ARM, the colourful building is an artwork in itself and takes inspiration from William Robinson’s Rainforest painting that hangs proudly inside the gallery Outside, visitors can enjoy live music in the amphitheatre, grab goodies at the weekly farmers markets, watch the sunset over the

skyline from the rooftop bar, or indulge in a seven-course tasting menu at the Palette Restaurant. Ideal for an Outback Queensland family adventure, Australia’s Dinosaur Trail continues to expand, with new attractions including a 54-metre-long preserved trackway of sauropod footprints at Winton’s Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum. There’s also the new Muttaburrasaurus Interpretation Centre in Muttaburra and a new visitor centre at the Eromanga Natural History Museum in Eromanga, home to the skeleton of Australia’s largest dinosaur, a 30-metre-long sauropod named Cooper.

What’s happening in 2022 If there’s not already enough reasons to get out and explore the Great Barrier Reef, a new Great Barrier Reef pontoon is set to launch in early at Moore Reef will add another memorable element to day trips run by Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel, the city’s only Indigenous-led reef operator. With an underwater observatory and on-board laboratory, pontoon activities will fuse traditional knowledge with modern science to offer an innovative new way to engage with the UNESCO World Heritage-listed reef. Meanwhile, back in Australia’s most popular playground, the Gold Coast is preparing

to welcome the luxurious Langham Hotel Gold Coast, a landmark beachfront hotel Surfers Paradise, and Dorsett Gold Coast, a multi-tower labyrinth and the latest addition to the Star Gold Broadbeach Island. Plan ahead for 2023 half of 2023, the riverside Queens Wharf Brisbane entertainment and lifestyle precinct will transform Queensland’s capital with an iconic design that celebrates the area’s Indigenous and European heritage.

THE NICE GUYS

NBN, 10.45pm

The 1970s is an enduringly fashionable decade in Hollywood (Boogie Nights, Inherent Vice, American Hustle), and this film starring Ryan Gosling (above) and Russell Crowe also takes place in this groovy period. Cop buddy comedy and neo-noir mystery combine as private eye Holland March (Gosling) and hired thug Jackson Healy (Crowe) join forces after a young woman named Amelia (Margaret Qualley) disappears. Directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3), who also wrote Lethal Weapon, this highly watchable flick features plenty of odd-couple banter and violence, as well as an impressive turn by Australian youngster Angourie Rice.

ROSIE BATTY’S ONE PLUS ONE

///12+$3.%+415.*1+-

Behind closed doors and shuttered blinds, there are hordes of people hiding an embarrassing secret: they are living in a clutter crisis. Now in its second season, Space Invaders follows decluttering guru Peter Walsh (right), renovation whiz Cherie Barber and treasure hunter Lucas Callaghan as they restore tidiness and peace to people’s homes and lives. We all know that children are the finest agents of mess and chaos, and new parents Caroline and Adrian know this all too well. The time has come for the weary parents to claim back and restore order to their home, but first Peter must break through Caroline’s wall of self-doubt.

ABC, 9.35pm

We live in a society where clickbait, headlines and orchestrated images on social media capture our attention for a fleeting moment, until the next thing quickly grabs our thoughts. Like a salve for our fast-paced and judgemental times, Rosie Batty’s One Plus One celebrates the balm of an honest, thoughtprovoking and educated chat. Like a wellwritten article, there’s no rush for Batty or her guests to drive home a point; here it’s all about the art of conversation and understanding. Tonight, Batty interviews domestic violence survivor Russell Vickery, who delves into the stigma around samesex domestic violence, and using art 0104 for advocacy.

Gap between Australia’s house and unit market hits record high over January following the -0.2% fall in values recorded in December. Sydney unit values rose 15.4% in the 12 months to January 2022.

KAYTLIN EZZY The disparity between Australia’s house and unit values reached an all-time high in January of 28.3%, despite double-digit annual growth rates for both houses and units. CoreLogic’s new monthly Unit Market Update shows units recorded an annual growth rate of 14.3% in the 12 months to January while house values rose 24.8% over the same period. When combined, it’s Australia’s highest annual dwelling growth rate since 1989. Report author CoreLogic Research Analyst Kaytlin Ezzy says although house growth has traditionally outpaced unit growth over the past decade, the performance gap throughout the current upswing has been notably higher than in previous cycles, thanks in part to COVIDrelated demand shocks disproportionately affecting unit demand. “The annual performance gap between houses and units began to narrow in the last year, in part due to the lifting of lockdowns

the prospect of a rate hike in late 2022, affordability constraints and tighter lending restrictions, Australia’s

and border restrictions as well as increasing affordability constraints diverting demand towards the medium to high-density sector,” Ms Ezzy says. “However, in January we saw that annual performance gap start to widen again, which could, in part, be explained by the disparity between advertised house and unit supply. Shortages in advertised listings throughout COVID has helped fuel value growth by creating a sense of urgency among buyers.” During January 2022, the total advertised unit supply in Australia’s

the same period, capital city house listings were down -12.5% compared to this time last year and -32.7% below the

stronger unit growth over the three months to January when compared to their respective housing markets. Ms Ezzy says with the exception of Darwin the total advertised unit stock in each of these markets was more than -30% below the previous

While unit values have continued to underperform nationally, growth conditions are becoming more diverse amongst the individual capitals and rest of state regions. Canberra (5.6%) Darwin (2.6%), regional Victoria (5.7%) and regional Tasmania (9.2%) all recorded

A multi-speed dynamic is also beginning to emerge across the combined capitals. Adelaide led the pace for unit gains, recording a monthly rise of 1.5% followed by Brisbane (1.4%). Unlike the other capital city markets where growth rates have eased, Brisbane and

combined capital cities was down -3.7% compared to the same time last year and -7.8% below the previous

Adelaide are yet to show signs of a slowdown in momentum, with each city recording a new cyclical high over the 12 months to January of 13.8% and 9.5% respectively. Hobart’s unit market is the standout performer in the 12 months to January 2022, as median values hit $574,993, up 32.8% over the year compared to a 26.3% capital gain for houses. Melbourne recorded a modest fall in unit values, down -0.4% through January for an annual growth of 8.1%. Perth’s monthly growth rate remained values increased 0.1%

from some tailwinds in 2022, Ms Ezzy says. “Three of the eight capital cities now have a median house price in excess of $1 million and the gap between national house and unit values is at an all-time high,” she says. “It is likely affordability constraints will gradually pull some demand away from houses towards more affordable units and with international borders opening this month, Australia may gradually see a return to pre-COVID levels of migration. As most migrants initially rent in Sydney or Melbourne this could help bolster rental demand in those markets hardest hit by the pandemic, which, in turn, could boost investor demand and ultimately, unit prices.”

Dramatic spike in wild pig numbers Wild pig and dog numbers have exploded thanks to prolonged wet weather creating perfect breeding conditions, prompting calls for increased animal control resources. A wetter than normal summer has resulted in back to back breeding cycles, with some farmers stretched thin trying to minimise the destruction caused by these animals. NSW Farmers Wild Dog Coordinator Bruce Duncan said

as surface water dried up, pests such as dogs and pigs would head to permanent water points such as farm dams. “The damage caused by a wild pig is truly amazing if you haven’t seen it before,” Mr Duncan said. “They can quickly rip attack lambs and goat kids, and can bring disease as well. “Combine that destruction with the loss of livestock to wild dog attacks, and

you’ve got a big problem for agriculture.” There are more than 23 million feral pigs in Australia, costing agriculture more than $100 million per year. Wild dogs also take their toll on the sector, costing agencies an estimated $50 million in management costs before the impact on livestock is even taken into account. Landholders are concerned that these pests will be an increasing problem unless

action is taken. NSW Farmers President James Jackson said staying vigilant and working through co-ordinated pest management was vital, which is why the association had asked the state government for an extended commitment to vertebrate pest management. “Farmers are regularly trapping more than 60 pigs in a single week, it’s just a huge problem at the moment,” Mr Jackson said.

“As we see continued high prices and demand for livestock those losses will continue to sting the back pocket, which is why the work of people like Bruce is so important. “The government is getting some great data through the GPS collaring project, which allows them to better understand how the animals move around the landscape, so they can better control these pests.”

They’ll build a dam at the gates of hell before we get one in NSW NSW Farmers President James Jackson has asked the NSW Government to give an update on its pledge to ‘build more dams’ after Queensland was given billions in pre-election funding. Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced $5.4 billion to build the giant 2100-gigalitre Hells Gates Dam northwest of Townsville, which would open up 60,000 hectares of irrigation farming. It came just a week after the federal government promised $483 million towards the construction of Urannah Dam near Mackay. Mr Jackson said building more dams to secure agricultural production made a lot of sense in Australia, but he questioned the NSW Government’s progress on similar projects. “We’ve been told Dungowan is underway, the wall of Wyangala Dam will be raised and we’ll get a dam on the but there’s no clear timeline on when they’ll be completed,” Mr Jackson said. “It’s been years since the drought broke and we’ve seen a tremendous amount of rain fall over the past few months, and I think it’s prudent to ask where we’re up to on capturing some of that water? “I’m deeply concerned that NSW may be getting hung up on spreadsheets and biodiversity offsets calculators while other states are busy with bulldozers.” The NSW Government’s dam-building projects were announced by former Premier Gladys Berejiklian ahead of the 2019 state election, and

while some announcements about sod-turning had been made, Mr Jackson said there needed to be transparency on the progress. “Dams can deliver a

they deliver a mechanism for storage of domestic and irrigation water but also in an mitigation tools and a critical part of the energy solution with pumped hydro being

a great battery for reliable energy,” Mr Jackson said. “There is a clear appetite for the construction of these dams and there has been a commitment from the government to build them, but

no clear commitment to when “We’re three years into this term of government and we can’t afford to let NSW get left behind on building these dams.”

BIOSECURITY STRATEGY VITAL FOR FUTURE

The state’s peak agricultural body is calling for an urgent boost to biosecurity systems to protect Australia from imported viruses and pests. In a submission to the National Biosecurity Strategy Consultation, NSW Farmers outlined the failings of Australia’s biosecurity system, calling for more urgency to develop a modern system with from government. “The recently released National Biosecurity Strategy is a good start, but strategies alone don’t get things done,” NSW Farmers President James Jackson said. “Every footy team has a game plan before but what matters is whether the players put that into action.

“The same goes for biosecurity, we know what we need to do, but as a nation we’re still not doing it well enough and we need to start action now with greater urgency.” Mr Jackson said the Federal Government’s focus this week on boosting traceability was important, but it was only one aspect of the biosecurity continuum. One of the most alarming biosecurity failings, he said, came just prior to the arrival of COVID-19 – almost half of all imported found to harbour a disease that could wipe out Australia’s wine industry if left unchecked. Mr Jackson said a modern biosecurity system needed better detection and tracking to pick up all potential incursions.

“Our key priority is for the Federal Government to implement a sustainable funding model – we must have longer term certainty of biosecurity that is beyond the budget cycle,” Mr Jackson said. “Greater investment in biosecurity research and development will minimise the impact of risks and challenges. “The outcome of increased investment will be a stronger biosecurity system, which in turn strengthens agriculture’s sustainability and broader economy.” Federal and state governments must have the capacity to effectively respond to incursions of exotic pests and disease, Mr Jackson said.

25TH DPI WINTER CROP VARIETY SOWING GUIDE RELEASED The ever-popular NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Winter Crop Variety Sowing Guide has today been released to help grain growers and agronomists make strategic cropping decisions. DPI Technical Specialist - Grain Services, Peter Matthews, said this year’s guide, which celebrates its 25th year, is more comprehensive than ever and has all the information farmers need for a successful winter crop. “Guides such as this highlight the DPI’s impressive history of delivering quality agricultural research and development to increase productivity and resilience across the state’s agricultural sectors and the environment,” Mr Matthews said. “This publication is key in assisting NSW’s cropping industry, which had an output of $8 billion in 20202021.” The guide provides everything from the latest yield performance for crop varieties, grain quality, disease tolerance, new variety characteristics, weed management practices, to rotations and crop nutrition. This information is based on research and development results from DPI, other

research providers and the National Variety Testing program. “There are three new spring milling wheats, three long-season feed wheats, three barley varieties, 13 canola varieties, one faba bean variety, two

the chance of a high

one narrow leaf lupin variety available for growers this season,” Mr Matthews said. “Lentils have also been added to this year’s guide in recognition of the growing opportunity for this crop in southern and central NSW; it’s well suited to the farming system in these regions and one of the highest value pulse crops.” Those armed with the Guide can make can make informed and cost-effective decisions based on the information and research provided. Rising prices of inputs such as diesel, herbicides, and fertiliser mean crop establishment failures would be costly this season. With the high price of nitrogen-based products such as urea, growers are advised to create nitrogen budgets and target paddocks that will give them the highest return on investment if it becomes a limited resource. “Targeting the right variety and sowing time can maximise

pulse crops to build

Farmers ask for future focus The NSW Government has been given a list of budget requests that will unlock the future of agriculture. NSW Farmers President James Jackson says the prebudget submission outlines a number of opportunities to invest in a bigger, stronger future for the sector. “Despite all of the challenges farmers have faced over the past couple of years, we have demonstrated our ability to grow and succeed,” Mr Jackson said. “There is enormous potential to grow agriculture and repair

the economy, but we are now reaching the point where we need investment in projects and opportunities to unlock that potential. “This is why NSW Farmers has given the state government a number of budget requests, so we can get on with setting our sector up for a brighter future.” The requests in the prebudget submission from the state’s peak advocacy body range from continuing the highly successful Young Farmers program to investing in research and development

and putting an end to costly Jackson said sorting out the sometimes-messy land use space was critical as the race was on to develop more housing and renewable energy. “Everyone seems to have gotten the message that the country is a lovely place to live, but we need to make sure we don’t lose precious agricultural land in the ‘tree change’,” Mr Jackson said. “Once you put houses or power lines or solar panels on a piece of farming land

it ceases to be productive agricultural land, and since they’re not making any more dirt, we can’t afford to waste it. “We’ve been pretty clear in our representations to the state government about sorting this out, we’ve got a plan and a solution and we’re willing to lead the way. “We’re keen to work with anyone who has the vision to lead and ‘unleash the beast’ of agriculture.”

yielding crop, and minimise frost risk or heat stress during grain “For example, growers should consider growing up soil nitrogen levels for 2023 crops while taking advantage of high pulse grain prices crop in 2022. “They should select a pulse crop that suits their soil types, a variety that matches their growing season, and varieties with the best available disease resistances against the main foliar diseases. “Fortunately, we’ve taken the guesswork out of these decisions by providing all the available information in this Guide.” The 2022 Winter Crop Variety Sowing Guide is available to download from the DPI website and hard copies will be available at local agribusiness stores, Local Land Services or

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

A sausage by any other name... should be legal The expression ‘living in the land of milk and honey’ always puzzled somewhat. Not sure those two go together very well except with tea and toast in between, and to complicate matters, what if the milk is say, almond milk? Or soy? Or lavender? Or whatever they make milk out of nowadays, which is almost everything and presents a the milk and honey, which doesn’t sound so savoury either, although I which took my 8-year-old brain quite a while to process. “Oh, that was a joke”, I realised while undertaking my driver’s licence test. Yes, as many are aware there’s been a bit of stink in the dairy industry about things being called milk. However, given how many things made from dairy products and labelled milk taste nothing like it, it’s a bit rich complaining when someone squeezing white stuff from a tree also calls it milk. Get over it you silly cows. If it’s white and creamy and makes your coffee taste crap, does it matter whether it’s foliate-free, low-fat, no-added-sugar, skim, cow juice or someone just squeezed a soya bean so hard it pooped itself? Meanwhile our veggies are the new meat in the marketing sandwich and echo the latest beef in the commercial food world calling stuff made from vegetables,

instead of captive, slaughtered, bleeding, sentient beings, MEAT. Hey, meat-heads, you’re going that one (a concept which has meat marketers frothing over missed opportunities), you’d be better off spending your money on seaweed to stop your cows farting or knitting them little booties so they didn’t crush the land rather than on lawyers taking a bunch of greenies to court because they call their sustainable sauerkraut sac a sausage? Ms L. reckons there is parallel in the wine world with interlopers unable to legally use terms like Champagne, Chianti, Burgundy, Hermitage and Claret etc unless the product actually comes from those respective regions. A more apt comparison would be someone making a drink from, say, fermented meat and calling it wine. Yew (or should that be ‘ewe’), but worth a crack, although perhaps the Hungarians already have with their bull’s blood? Meanwhile, if it tastes good, I’ll have a veggie burger thanks, with egg, bacon, and cheese please and a rosé to go with it.

Champagne Deutz (France) Brut Classic (NV), $90 ($45 for 375ml). These posh bubbles come in half-bottles which is disappointing for a wine writer reliant on freebies. But they are particularly cute and portable and create an impressive image when you pop into a party, pull one out and pop the cork. 9.4/10. Champagne Deutz (France) Rose, NV, $90. Settle, lawyers, this is actual Champagne and may appear decadent to onlookers, pouring this on your oysters but that’s better than pouring it on the ground even if the world is your oyster. Smart and tart and slightly pink. 9.3/10. Ferngrove Vineyards Estate Frankland River ‘Cossack’ Riesling 2005, $40 (Museum release). Not every cloud has a silver lining despite what we’ve clouds came not only rain, but a forgotten dozen bottles in our saturated cellar of which this was one. Generous, gorgeous old riesling. 9.7/10. Ferngrove Frankland River ‘Stirlings’ (Shiraz Cabernet) 2004, $40 (in 2006, no longer available). survived with label intact and contents even ‘intacter’. Absolutely delicious stuff from WA a generation ago. 9.8/10. Trescowthick Wines Adelaide Hills ‘the naughty one’ Chardonnay 2019, $35. This is as old-school chardonnay as white burgundy, so have it with real roast chicken rather than one made from lentils. Only two barrels of the stuff too, and rare as hen’s teeth whatever they’re made of. 9.3/10. Trescowthick Wines Adelaide Hills ‘the naughty one’ Pinot Noir 2019, $35. Despite the modest 13.5 per cent, this is pinot with balls, which could upset the meat industry. But not as much as the poor creature who had them squeezed so hard, red wine came out. 9.5/10.

The top 10 unanswered questions about medicines for people living with dementia !"#$%&'($)*+,&-")&& .*)/0%1"%21&301$*1$ While I was living and working in Sydney I had a few patients who were diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Over the years they had weekly or fortnightly Bowen treatments with me and none of them really showed signs of getting worse. Which is remarkable don’t you think? Their neurological specialists were always happy to find they were stable, but never wanted to know why, even though their medications didn’t have to be increased. The symptoms of PD are complex and usually develop gradually, being mild at first and affect different people in different ways. Main symptoms of PD are, ridgity; slowness of movement; tremor; sleep problems; speech and communication problems; fatigue and sometimes depression, memory problems and anxiety. Anyway the point of my article is that I had amazing results with everyone, in that they followed a protocol by John Coleman, who recovered from PD. He had two types of Parkinson’s but recovered with naturopathy, Bowen therapy, aqua hydration therapy, bach flower essences, herbals taken morning and night, meditation, counselling, and eating a good diet with no added chemicals.

Many report a reduction in stiffness, and finding longer lasting effects after 3 or 4 sessions. Bowen is not a cure, however it has shown to be beneficial to those suffering from body stiffness and restriction, allowing them to move more freely. Also the added benefit is complete relaxation of the nervous system, and the effects of each treatment can last for up to 7 days or longer. John Coleman is a Naturopath and Bowen therapist in Victoria who has completely recovered from PD, even though his doctor told him it would be a losing battle. He used all the methods that he is able to offer to you.

I have been trained by John Coleman and can help you with Bowen therapy treatment and as your therapist I will encourage you, support you on your journey, and be caring and loving. Bowen is a very gentle treatment that helps the fluid balance and flow of energy, taking away pain and help to restore physical mobility.

A multi-step project including nationwide surveys and a workshop coordinated by the University of South Australia will today propose a solution – in the form of the top 10 unanswered questions about medicine use from people living with dementia, their carers, families and friends and healthcare professionals. A webinar hosted by UniSA researcher and NHMRC Investigator Fellow Dr Emily Reeve, and Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe AM will reveal the key questions that could halt medicine-related harm among people living with dementia. And they’re questions raised by people and their carers who are directly affected by polypharmacy (prescribed more than five medicines) and unsafe use of medicines. The main priority is the importance of sharing decision making about medicines between healthcare professionals, people living with dementia and their carers. Making sure that healthcare professionals have the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure that the medicine being prescribed is safe and effective was identified as the second priority. The need for clear communication at all levels, especially at transitions of care, is the third priority. “Quality use of medicines means using medicines safely and effectively to get the best possible health outcomes. It also means only using medicines when they are needed,” Dr Reeve says. “People living with dementia are diverse. They often have multiple other medical conditions and come from all socio-cultural backgrounds. “In the past, questions have been led by drug companies or researchers, with little involvement of consumers and healthcare professionals. Their input will ensure our research going forward is directly relevant to the care of people living with dementia. This will lead to improved use of medicines and better health outcomes.” Dementia is the second leading cause of death for Australians (the leading cause for women), with an estimated 487,500 Australians living with dementia. Without a medical breakthrough, this number is expected to reach 1.1 million people by 2058, according to Dementia Australia. It is not confined to older populations, either. In 2022, an estimated 28,800 people have younger onset dementia, including people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Approximately 1.6 million people in Australia are also caring for someone living with dementia at home. “With an estimated half a million Australians living with dementia and around 1.6 million Australians involved in their care, research into dementia is now more urgent than ever,” says Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe. “There is much to be inspired by, with new and exciting breakthroughs on the horizon. It is crucially important to involve consumers in the research process so that the best outcomes for people impacted by dementia are achieved,” she says. !"#$%"#&$'()"#%*+'"($*,"-+$+.&$/#"0&1+2$3"$+"4$.++/5466 7778-('5*8&9-8*-6#&5&*#1.6:-%/#16"-#;#&5&*#1.6 "/+'%'5'(3;%&9'1'(&;-5&6<=>?@&%&(+'*

This year the theme is: Let go. After two years of COVID, and the we think ‘Let go’ is a good theme for right now. It could mean let go of an object, like a rope, a safety net, a balloon, a leash, the handlebars, an oar, a waterbomb or a plate full of cakes. It could also mean letting go of your fears, hopes, regrets, bad decisions or bad habits. It could mean letting go of the past. You can interpret the theme any way you like. ‘The Long Way Home’ is about our stories and who we are. It’s about what makes this place so special and unique,’ said the winner of last year’s open category, Kathryn Goldie. Everyone from schoolkids to adults is invited to send something in. The competition is open to new, emerging and established writers. This written something, or perhaps you
