NEWS Byron Council to submit response to

SAMANTHA ELLEY Byron Shire Council has rallied to ensure it leads the community response to the NSW Flood Inquiry announced recently by the state government. In April’s meeting it was agreed the council will hold community meetings online and in person, explaining the scope and purpose of the NSW Flood Inquiry. Each councillor is to write a report on the lessons to be learned from the government and community and to develop a each town, including a chain of command and communication protocols. The inquiry response would also include a pathway for owners wanting to rebuild, developing policies and costs for DAs in and access to house repurchase and raising programs. The council meeting also took the time to acknowledge the incredible work undertaken by volunteers from the Mullumbimby District Neighbourhood Centre (MDNC) since the Council also resolved to include an allocation of funds from a suitable grant funding source to the MDNC, $1,000 per week for the next 10 weeks to assist in the provision of emergency accommodation.

Rain exposes asbestos tailings in road network TIM HOWARD Heavy rain and local flooding has started to expose asbestos tailing used in road base in northern part of the Clarence Valley Local Government Area. Ewingar resident Michael Mizzi said section of the greenish mineral serpentine, which contains asbestos, had been exposed on sections of road near his home on Bulldog Rd. “There’s asbestos laden road fill on the roads in the upper Clarence which was sealed years ago and is now starting to reappear as the asphalt is breaking up,” he said. “The asbestos is integrated into the green material which is a mineral called Serpentine.” Clarence Valley asbestos whistle blower Phil Clare, who took on the State Government more than a decade ago when he discovered dangerous asbestos in hospital buildings around NSW, said a family member had probably picked up an asbestosrelated illness after working on the roads. He said his uncle, Harold Richards, had been a local landowner recruited to work on the roads during the Whitlam-era RED Scheme. “They got asbestos tailings from the Baryulgil mine and used them as road base right through the old Copmanhurst Shire,” he said. “When he got sick with 14 34 35 40 42

Ewingar resident Michael Mizzi said asbestos tailings in the road base on this section of road near his home have become exposed during the recent rain and floods. the disease years later, it took us a while to realise when he might have come into contact with asbestos. “The only place it could have been was when he was working on the roads in the RED Scheme days.” Mr Clare said people needed to be aware of how prevalent asbestos still was in the environment and it wasn’t limited to its use in buildings. “What a lot of people

don’t know, or don’t want to know, is back then a lot of people would get trailer loads of asbestos tailings to put on their lawns, because it made the grass grow greener. “There would be a lot of yards in Grafton with a layer or two of asbestos. It makes you think about knocking over the next ants nest you see.” But Clarence Valley Council director Works and Civil Jamie Fleeting Cooking Wines Stars Funerals

said the council could manage the asbestos risk of the road network effectively. He said the data on the specific reference to asbestos exposure limits showed the risk of airborne respirable fibre inhalation to occupants of vehicles, and the general public using the transport routes and living adjacent to the roads, was confirmed to be well below the National Exposure Standard and the first 54 55 56 57 58

control level of 0.01, as defined by the National Code of Practice for the Management of Asbestos in Workplaces. “Council has had an active road sealing program to manage minimal risks associated with the roads for more than eight years now,” he said. “Council has progressively been sealing roads around the Valley. There has been extensive analysis and testing on the gravel on the roads and the safety risks associated with the gravel. “The analysis indicated there is minimal risk to the community. To remove any potential risks Council resolved in 2013 to seal the roads over time.” Mr Fleeting said the council has placed information on its website, has written to a significant number of landholders and has held a public meeting at Ewingar to discuss the matter and remedial action it has planned. “There are several State Government agencies that actively promote health and safety measures around asbestos,” he said. Mr Fleeting said the council has a program of road sealing in place which would ease the problem. “Council’s Asbestos Management Plan will see the required sealing of Ewingar Road completed by the end of the financial year,” Mr Fleeting said.

A beacon of safety Locals and visitors to one of the State’s most popular coastal locations, North Kingscliff in the Tweed region, will be able to swim a little safer with new lifesaving technology installed for use in emergencies. Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke was joined by Parliamentary Secretary for Police and Emergency Services and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest today to unveil the Emergency Response Beacon. “Lifesavers and lifeguards can’t be everywhere at once

but beacons enable Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) to expand its reach and make every effort to protect swimmers at unpatrolled locations,” Ms Cooke said. “North Kingscliff is one of 22 locations on the NSW coastline which will benefit from beacons as part of the NSW Government’s $16 million four-year investment in Surf Life Saving NSW.” Mr Provest said each beacon is being installed at high-risk locations, many of which are unpatrolled by lifesavers or lifeguards. “With a popular caravan park just metres away and the

nearest patrolled section of beach about 800 metres away at the Cudgen Headland, members of the public can now be immediately connected to the SLSNSW State Operations Centre by clicking a button on the beacon,” Mr Provest said. “This will give locals and visitors some extra peace of mind that help is available if they get into trouble while enjoying the water at North Kingscliff.” Emergency Response Beacons use a camera and mobile technology to communicate between State Operations Centre personnel and the person on the beach,

allowing personnel to gather situational information, issue instructions or provide reassurance. SLSNSW can then respond using a wide range of Support Operations assets, including jet skis, inflatable rescue boats, volunteer callout teams from surf clubs, lifeguards or helicopter and drone services.

“We were pretty angry lasted till the end of April. That’s very unfair when we couldn’t get out. We’re negotiating with council about that at the moment.” Ms Lawrence said Bungawalbin residents have felt very ‘out of sight, out of mind’ which is why they have had to make some noise. number plates of two of our vehicles to Service NSW last week, only to discover that they only backdate rego refunds to

“It was a similar story with the green slips, which can only be backdated to the day we cancelled the rego despite us being completely unable to get out to hand in the plates.” Ms Lawrence recounts the struggles of her neighbours where some have only in the past week been able to get into their house to remove destroyed furniture and wet plasterboard. “Some friends whose house went under are just starting to knock out the plasterboard now, because it took them a while to get back in and

down the coast to get another car, because without a car in here you’re screwed,” she said. “They’re having trouble build them a temporary dwelling in their garage while they do repairs to the house.” Despite all setbacks and relative isolation from help, Bungawalbin residents are resilient and have been able to support each other. “We have two Bungy Facebook groups which share information about the road conditions, and so on, and that function was expanded so that one of the Bungy groups became our main information exchange point. There are some Coraki FB pages that were useful too,” said Ms Lawrence. “Some people who’d been evacuated by helicopter or boat eventually started organising for supplies to be sent back in here once they’d found somewhere to stay, because they knew plenty of people were trapped. “They did an amazing

job, but it was hard for people who weren’t on Facebook to get assistance – they had to rely on others being able to visit them and ask what they needed, then deliver it, which was hard with few cars still operational. “Regarding supplies, we got one FoodBank parcel organised by a local from our road, a private helicopter drop of food, fuel and water organised by locals in Coraki and a fresh food drop which came with some donated dry boxes from the Singapore Army.” Ms Lawrence said Bungawalbin residents are good at being strong in the middle of the crisis, but the length and is causing them to start breaking down. “We’ve all got slightly different problems, but one thing we all have in common is how distressed we are,” she said. “Most people have withdrawn a little and aren’t keen to talk about it.”

Cooler classrooms program expands Another 39 schools are receiving integrated air systems as part of the NSW Government’s $500 million Cooler Classrooms Program, taking the total to almost 1,000 schools across NSW. Local schools on the list are Corndale Public School, Kingscliff High School, Tweed River High School, Dunoon Public School, Ballina Coast High School, and Goolmangar Public School. Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said she was thrilled the program was continuing to improve the learning environments for schools across the state. “To date, the Cooler Classrooms Program has delivered systems to more than 5,550 classrooms and 380 libraries across the state with 996 schools now approved for

delivery,” Ms Mitchell said. “The rollout is ahead of schedule and excitingly we are now in a position to add more schools to the program.” Announced in 2018, the Cooler Classrooms year, $500 million commitment to deliver heating, cooling and fresh air ventilation in NSW public schools prioritising schools in the hottest parts of the state. The program improves the air quality of indoor spaces and libraries with ‘smart systems’ that offer heating, cooling and the provision of outside fresh air to ensure adequate ventilation. The units will down after hours and the energy they use will be offset by solar technology at more than 700 schools.

Casino Food Co-op expands

LARA LEAHY The Casino Food Co-op latest in their production line last week. Their new facility packages the meat processed in their current facilities into retail products ready to pack onto chilled shop shelves. John Seccombe, the chair of the board,

opened the events with a Welcome to Country, introduction to the many attendants, that included Kevin Hogan MP, Chris Gulaptis MP, Richmond Valley Mayor Robert Mustow, David McGivern, the founder of Our Cow, and other industry leaders. Special guests included long-serving employees of 50 years and over. Trevor Kenny was

presented with his thank you gift of appreciation. Danny Formaggin, Andy Shaw and Kerry McLaughlin were also present and John Cormick sent his apologies as he couldn’t make it. The cost of the new facility was $8.5 million dollars, which was jointly funded by the Federal Government. $1.55 million dollars

was presented to the Food Co-op by Mr Hogan, who cut the ribbon and declared the facility open with Mr Seccombe. Mr Hogan said: “This will provide a dedicated facility that will improve for growth.” When addressing the crowd and the longstanding employees, he said, “I am looking

at the group of people who has worked at this facility, that has essentially fed them and their families for the last 50 years, and looking at the new facility, which will go on to feed at least the next 50 years.” Simon Stahl, the Food Co-op CEO, said: “The facility currently employs 20 to 30 people, but at full capacity, will have 50

to 60 people. We are producing products for a few places, including Coles, which is distributed nationwide.” There was a tour of the facility following the opening, where rolled roasts, and mince, were being packaged. Also on display was the equipment where beef cheeks, beef bones and sizzle steaks were also a part of the operation.

Design of Grafton Waterfront lookout point explained The $6.5 million Grafton Waterfront Precinct project will connect the city to the Clarence River and revitalise the waterfront parkland with continuous shared path linking Prince Street to Clarence Street and footpaths connecting to the new bridge.

Fire station turns 50

LARA LEAHY

Goonellabah Fire Station turns 50 on the 18th May. John Hellmood, the first fire captain of the station spoke to us about some of his experiences in its early days. The fire station will open it’s doors on May 14th for people to come and have a look at what it has grown into. John was a fireman at Lismore Fire Station for 10 years, before opening the station in Goonellabah. When it became apparent that there was a need to have a fire station at the top of the hill, the decision was made to locate it at the Butler Store, owned by Mr Hellmood’s family. Council supplied a water tank truck and a fire bell, which was put

up at the Butler Store to alert the fire fighters that they were needed. “Everyone lived within about 3 or 4 kilometers of the shop, so they could hear the bell,” John recalled. “One night, we received a call at the shop at 9pm at night. My Uncle had to go out and ring the bell, still in his pyjamas!” The first fire crew was begun with 13 people, that included 8 volunteers: Allan Patch, John Churchill, Athol Faulkner, Noel Edwards, Bob Dening,

Bob Skaines, Russell Anderson, Noel Stoker, Kevin Muldoon, John Watson, Bob Gilbert, and John Hellmood (Capt). “The four last in the list came from Lismore station,” Mr Hellmood said. “The first station officer was Steve Nolan.” On recalling a fire that was vivid in his memory, Mr Hellmood spoke of the fire that destroyed the Variety Picture Theatre in Lismore. “It was right opposite

We had entered the building to fight the fire. At one point, Kevin Muldoon called out, ‘We can’t stay any longer, we have to get out’. Once they were all out, after only a few minutes, the whole roof came down. We could have been trapped. It was very close.” Mr Hellmood was

very proud of his crew in Goonellabah. In their first year of forming, they entered a demo - a fire fighters competition. “Of the nine stations that entered, we came out on top!” Fire Fighting has changed since those days. Not just the equipment and organisation. “In fire fighting training back then, we were told to count to 10

when we got to a fire. Just so we would stop and look and had time to think about what we could do about the fire before we went in,” Mr Hellmood recalled. If you would like to visit and find out more about what happens at Goonellabah Fire Station, they are having an open day on Saturday 14th May between 10am and 2pm.

FAKE AGENTS The fake independent’s certainly take exception to scrutiny. Their preelection narrative aims at making the punters feel all warm and fuzzy when reading their self-righteous unproven endeavours, they will say anything to get elected. What will their post-election narrative be if elected? I am quite certain it will include, close all coal mines, and gas production as soon as possible, back the useful idiot rent a crowd to wreak as much havoc upon the population as possible to press their misguided agenda, make electric cars mandatory, follow the religion of climate change or else. How will they pay for their pie in the sky unrealistic ideologies when the consequences of their actions start to bite? A few more questions for the socalled independents.

Let’s take a look at their record. 1. 1.7.Billion wasted on Robo-debt. 2. 60 Million borrowed to fund Jobseeker, more than needed. 3. Millions of Jobseeker payments paid to Companies who were not eligible. 4. More Millions on paid in Sports Rorts. 5. Money needed to fund Education, Health and Aged Care spent to give tax cuts.

Eventually, Council did provide the survey and other documents after the Information & Privacy Commissioner supported our right to that information. The CVC Acting General Manager then emailed informed us, without warning, she was invoking the Unreasonable Complainant Conduct (UCC) policy so that the three of us couldn’t interact with Council for 6 months unless it was a genuine emergency. The UCC policy is now being reviewed. We believe it needs to be improved to build in protections for the whole community.

in close to 20 years has made little difference to our standard of living despite being in Government for some of that time. Further when she was needed to pressure her own party to open the Qld border during Covid, she went MIA. Clearly, she has little sway in her party currently and that is likely to remain. This does not help Richmond. If we want progress, realistically speaking, we are left with two viable MP possibilities in this electorate: The representatives from The Greens or The Nationals. Both are women who help this electorate actively, unlike the incumbent MP who is a ghost around Ballina. The Greens will support Labor in preferencing and the Nationals will poll strongly if history is a guide. Greens will not be in Government under any circumstances but will continue to be disruptors regarding legislation while the Nationals have a chance of governing as a coalition. Nothing happens in any electorate progressively unless the local MP is part of government and has sway. So, who to vote for is a conundrum if we want practical improvements in this electorate. At present, amongst many other things, we need major road infrastructure, improved hospital, ambulance and police services to cater for our burgeoning community of Ballina and environs. Which one of the candidates is most likely to achieve this is hard to foresee. But what I do know is

that repeating the same thing, time and time again –and expecting different results- will not prove to be productive or progressive in Richmond. We need effective change to occur in our region rather than purely and solely an expression of viewpoint based on party lines.

Then an overwhelming dose of reality kicked in, She will be just another voice for the labor and greens coalition, no matter how hard you try to sugar coat the fact.

Mr Lauf, you call the Liberal voters of our country “short sighted sheep”, the coalition happened to win the last few elections, so you are percent of our nation this name. How do you feel about this now?, maybe a little silly?.

LETTERS AND OPINION with. Like it or not, no independent, lefty labor and green coalition would know where to start. Meanwhile what do they do?, what they excel at, complain, offer ridiculous suggestions, pretend they have the silver bullet, push their misguided agenda, enjoy a free ride from the media. Stay with the stable party’s, don’t risk giving the lefty rabble a chance to slowly and deliberately run our great nation to the dogs. The labor opposition leader, deputy leader and shadow treasurer so far have not been able to successfully answer simple questions about their foolish simplistic policies, they have not and never have thought their policies through. No one knows exactly what the independents stand for except global warming hysteria, a government watchdog and mandating electric cars, most of whom don’t own one. One would suggest they are a bunch of hypocrites. G. MacDonald Pimlico. VOTE FOR FREEDOM The Federal election is soon upon us, and we have to choose who to vote for. I’m voting very different this year having been turned off our govt leaders and medical advisors. They may think they have kept us safe but most of us have had enough of the tyranny that occurred where you couldn’t visit a loved one dying in hospital even if you dressed up like an astronaut and others in Victoria had rubber for protesting about the lockdowns. Most of the covid shackles have been taken off but, in many workplaces, the unvaccinated are still not allowed to return to work even though it has been proven that they do not contract or spread covid any more than the vaccinated. Thus, NSW had its largest teachers’ strike Wed 4/5/22 and the week before nurses had their protests. The news says it’s because they want wage increases due to staff shortages making them work longer and harder

without mentioning the segregating covid rules reducing numbers. Therefore I am voting as this video explains about the preferential voting system https://youtu. be/ITWXUiK5nHQ by putting the Freedom Loving candidates like One Nation, Liberal Democrats, Australian Federation Party, Indigenous and United the major parties plus zero carbon emissions/ climate change parties last. Otherwise, we will have the same old slavery and lockdowns from the govt that have sold us out to WHO, UN etc who are following the New World Order. Lynette Evans NUMULGI WARDELL HALL CORE They always say that emergencies such as bring out the best in people, but do they? The War Memorial Hall at Wardell is currently occupied by Wardell CORE Inc, which is a community victims. (CORE stands for Community Organised Resilience Effort). Inside the hall is a stall with fruit, vegetables, eggs. It also has clothing, food, cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils. It has a place to sit down and have a friendly cup of tea and a chat. All this is available for FREE to help people who have lost their homes, cars, etc in the Wardell does not have any shops, so this free service is of utmost importance. Thanks to CORE the hall has become a very important part of community life in the Wardell, Broadwater, Empire Vale, Patches Beach areas. It is the heart of the community. Normally the hall, under its lessee, is shut up for 99% of the year, being used occasionally by the Red Cross, Knit ‘n Knat.or the lessee itself one evening a month. The rest of the time it is empty. The hall belongs to Ballina Council (ie the people) and is leased to Wardell Progress Association whose

President is Pat Carney. Recently The NSW Premier visited Wardell CORE, and the President of the Progress Association told the Premier he wanted the hall back. In other words he wants to kick CORE out. At the recent Wardell Progress Association meeting, CORE was told it must vacate the hall by 18th May to accommodate the Australian Electoral Commission for the Federal voting, and then it would be worked on by tradesmen for a couple of months to clean it up a Council insurance claim. Here I would ask the question: Who said it was growing mould inside, and needed all this work done urgently? Was it the same person who told the Council it must build timber beds Richmond Street? So you make a donation at a fundraiser

does the money go? Part of it goes to the wholesalers who keep CORE supplied with fruit and veg at Wardell Hall. Your donation.has really hit the spot! If you ask the Progress Association why CORE has to vacate by 18th May they say it is a Council decision, and if you ask the Council the same question they say it is a Progress Association decision. If no-one knows who has jurisdiction, then CORE should stay put! Many of the houses in have asbestos inside and this constitutes a lengthy restoration process. The Wardell Hall refurbishment can wait. Keep CORE in the Hall and keep up the good work, and thank you, Bank of Queensland, for your kind donation of Easter eggs to this cause.

SARCASM – ALL BARK AND NO BITE by Nigel Dawe

I don’t know if I should consider myself lucky, loopy, blessed or someone who has perhaps always missed the point. But I’ve never found sarcasm ‘funny’, the smug hurler of this thinly veiled vitriol always reminds me of a deranged lap dog snarling at shadows. Inadequacy, in whatever sense, seems the jagged launchpad for those who de‘fault’ into taking snide cheap shots at others. The origin of the word itself even lands upon the petty, provocative it is derived from the Ancient Greek ‘sarkasmos’, which sneer and bite the lip in rage.” A characteristic of the people I’m most impressed by are those who refrain from putting others down; comfortable in their own skin they have no need to elevate, albeit delude themselves by verbally demeaning everything they come into contact with. Seemingly, having a rampant superiority complex is the base necessity for excelling at sarkasmos. Marianne Moore, the American social critic, poet and editor who passed away some 50-years ago, made mention even back then: “We are suffering from too much sarcasm”. It has made us sick, self-righteously and obsessively on the lookout for the next person or initiative to ‘hang something’ derogatively on. As individuals, we are always so much better than looking for things concocted or otherwise, to mock in others. Relatedly, the Swiss moral philosopher and critic, Henri-Frederic Amiel once noted: “The spirit of sarcasm lives and thrives in the midst of universal wreck… it braves retaliations

and reprisals because bodiless and magical nothing.” Which is a it lacks backbone and amounts to nothing: that also being the sum total of the social worth of the person who revels in such menial, cerebral preoccupations. Somehow our mainstream culture has veered or come to seemingly idolise and lionise those adept at picking on others for a cheap laugh; we even seem unable now to tell or appreciate the difference between sarcasm and its more Or as Dana Perino observed and then served up in a chilled and beautifully polished glass: “Sarcasm is like cheap wine - it leaves a terrible aftertaste.” Not everything funny in life need come at someone else’s expense. Sometimes I think we ought to collectively curtail our addiction to shaming and defaming others through what we hide behind under the auspices of humour. Tellingly, Bryant McGill, the leading human potential, once said: “If you are rude, cynical, habituallysarcastic or pessimistic, your life options are going to be very limited.” So, the next time you laugh at the gnawing antics of the resident sarcastic clown (be that you or someone else) on what it really says about the person saying it, not the one who is on the receiving slab of it. At the end of the day, in life it’s never really about what we say, it’s more about why we come to say that thing

Call for input into ‘naughty corner’ policy TIM HOWARD A draft policy which details how Clarence Valley Council deals with difficult customers must give residents more protection, says a Yamba woman who was found to have been unfairly banned under the policy from interacting with council employees for six months. Lynne Cairns, her husband Robert and a neighbour, Shane Powell fell foul of the council’s Unreasonable Complainant Conduct policy last year when they attempted to get information about a development in Yamba neighbouring Mr Powell. The council’s acting general manager, Laura Black, placed the three residents on the council’s UCC list, effectively barring staff from having an interaction with them for six months, except in the case of an emergency. The council argued their persistence in seeking the information had taken up too much staff time, they had threatened staff and had flooded the council with emails. At the same time Ms Black had also refused a GIPA request from Mrs Cairns seeking relevant documents. Investigations by the

Yamba residents Lynne and Bob Cairns want more people to make submissions to the council’s draft UCC policy on exhibition until later this month. Independent Privacy Commission and the NSW Ombudsman into the council’s actions found in favour of the three residents and the council was forced to apologise to them and provide the documents they requested. The policy which caused so much trouble has since come up for review and Mrs Cairns, while welcoming it, believes it should offer stronger protections to residents. Mrs Cairns said the draft policy failed to provide enough information to a complainant on how they could appeal against a UCC finding if necessary “The draft UCC policy

could be improved by including how a complainant can appeal a restriction,” she said. “It should have an advisory group including the general manager, mayor, and two community members with social work qualifications and experience to assess an appeal. “If it is found the council has erred, to provide a written apology to the complainant (stating the UCC was incorrectly invoked), signed by the general manager and/or mayor, and placed on the complainant’s council file. “Any UCC actions should be confidentially

reported to council every six months.” Mrs Cairns would like to see residents make submissions on the council policy. “We urge you to lodge a submission to safeguard the community so that the policy does not have the potential to avoid responding to inquiries or covering council’s own errors,” she said. The draft policy was one of seven council policies which the last council meeting on April 26 approved to go on exhibition for 28 days. Mayor Ian Tiley amended the motion to approve, adding a third part to the motion he said would offer some

protections. “With respect to the draft UCC Policy, council provide an inbuilt check to ensure that whoever has enacted the powers of restriction, has acted fairly and in a reasonable manner, taking into account all the circumstances,” Cr Tiley said. “It’s just a safety valve I thought you’d like to include.” Cr Debrah Novak quizzed the mayor about what such mechanism would look like. “What is the actual inbuilt check,” Cr Novak said. “To make sure there is fairness in the process,” said Cr Tiley “I would have that was

a given for whoever was doing this,” Cr Novak said. “It’s the governing body’s prerogative to set policy and to install checks and balances and this is what this is intending to do.” “I understand that,” Cr Novak said. “But I don’t understand what the inbuilt check is.” “Sorry about your failure to understand, I don’t think I can help you any further,” said the Mayor. The draft Managing Unreasonable Conduct by Complainants V3.0 follows closely the NSW Ombudsman’s Code of Conduct by Complainant’s model policy. The council report said this policy and the other six policies: Code of Conduct, Social Media, Councillor-Staff Interaction, EEO and Anti-discrimination, Performance Management – General Manager and Submissions on Policies, had been drafted after receiving submissions on them. They were placed on exhibition for 28 days from the date of the council meeting. Council will accept submissions on them during the exhibition period.

Eat the Street Festival 2022 cancelled due to flood damage Lismore’s iconic Eat the Street Festival, scheduled for later this month, has been cancelled due to the extensive flood-damage to much of the CBD’s infrastructure and many CBD businesses. Lismore City Mayor Steve Krieg said it was crucial that businesses were able to focus on repairing their premises so they could reopen as quickly as possible. “Eat the Street is an extremely popular event for our community, but I am sure everyone will understand that given the 28 February natural disaster followed by the March flood, we have little choice but to cancel the event this year,” he

was cancelled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Apart from being a great day where people can taste some of the best food our region has to offer, tourism events like Eat the Street are crucial to our local economy and businesses,” he said. “While it is unfortunate that we had to cancel this year’s festival, it will be back in 2023 bigger and better than before.”

said. “This will allow our businesses to focus on repairing their premises so that they can once again open their doors and provide jobs for our community. “We understand the community’s strong desire to come together after what we’ve been through.

New chapter for landmark destination A new and exciting chapter has begun for the iconic Macadamia Castle located in the Byron Bay Hinterland, with the recent purchase by not-for-profit owned organisation Wildlife Recovery Australia (WRA). WRA is a joint venture between Odonata Foundation and Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital. WRA has been working for some months on the smooth transition from the locally known and loved Macadamia Castle to The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. With the new leadership empowering and enabling all Australians to save wildlife, every dollar spent at the Sanctuary is reinvested in the conservation, rehabilitation, and future of Australian Wildlife through our not-for-profit shareholders Odonata Foundation and Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital. General Manager Stella Ayoub says the developments planned

are significant, taking place over the next 12 to 24 months. They include structural and aesthetic upgrades, as well as habitat advancements for resident wildlife. During this time, the Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary will remain open in its current form as an interactive wildlife park,

café, gift shop experience, partnering with iconic brands such as Australian Geographic, with a focus on educational, locally produced, ethically sourced and sustainable offerings. “As one of the longest running native wildlife park in Northern NSW, the Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary will continue

to offer interactive, educational and entertaining experiences for individuals, families and groups,” said Ms Ayoub. Planned upgrades will also see a renewed focus on corporate and private events. WRA Director Stephen Van Mil says the Sanctuary’s focus will shift

towards a bio-park, with the priority to respect, protect and enjoy Australian Native Wildlife. “Our team works alongside partners to increase awareness and preservation of threatened and endangered species, with the primary objective to rescue, rehabilitate and release. “Australia’s largest Mobile Wildlife Hospital ‘Matilda’ is now settled into her new home on site at the Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Our expert veterinary team will continue to provide critical services to save and recover our local furry, feathered and scaly patients,” said Dr Van Mil. The Macadamia Castle has been a popular attraction for families in the area since 1975. With the community’s ongoing support, the Sanctuary will continue to grow and improve as a fun and educational visitor experience with the welfare of wildlife as its highest priority.

Residents provide feedback at flood inquiry Residents from across the Tweed packed out Tumbulgum Community Hall today to share their views and experiences following the devastating flood of February and March 2022. Led by Professor Mary O’Kane and Michael Fuller APM, the independent 2022 NSW Flood Inquiry convened at the riverside village of Tumbulgum to provide an opportunity for Tweed residents to share their

feedback in person. The meeting followed a similar event in Lismore. Residents from areas across the Shire – spanning Piggabeen in the north to Bogangar in the south, east to Kingscliff and west to Byrrill Creek – shared their experiences and raised their concerns on issues from flood warnings, to flood response and recovery.

from them, both as a community and as government agencies. “Resilience is built on experience and understanding. We hope this Inquiry will provide residents and government agencies with the assurances they need to build back better and cope with future natural disasters.” Residents who were not able to attend the meeting are urged to make their submissions

to the Inquiry via the online portal at www.nsw.gov.au/ nsw-government/ projects-and-initiatives/ floodinquiry. The Inquiry will report on: • The causes 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.

New playground vandalised The new playground under construction at the corner of Coral Street and Terranora Parade at Bilambil Heights has been vandalised. The vandals sprayed paint across the site, on the ground and on contractor’s site equipment. Council’s Acting Manager Parks and Active Communities Murray Smith said it was a disheartening attack. “The new park will become the main playground for local kids who are looking forward to its opening,” Mr Smith said. “This vandalism wastes people’s time and costs money to clean up. “It’s disappointing someone in the community would do this, given the years of

collaboration between local residents and Council to redesign this park.” Council workers will remove the graffiti and resume construction of the playground as soon as possible. The new playground is due to open in June 2022. Anyone with information about the Coral Street Park vandalism is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppers.com.au. To report vandalism in the community to Council online, visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/ report-problem or contact Council on 6670 2400.

Grafton’s Watkins family, from left, Jack, Amber, Theresa, Mick and Olivia made an outing to the Grafton Show on Saturday.

Muddy grounds, puddles and leaden skies couldn’t keep the punters away from this year’s celebration of 155 years of the Grafton Show. While stewards at the pavilions said the wet weather coming on top of two years of Covid-19 uncertainty had an affect on exhibits, it was nowhere near what might have been expected. In the barn chief steward Yvonne Robards said there had been some improvements in some areas, such as in cooking and handicrafts. “Entries have been particularly strong among the junior cake section,” Mrs Robards said. “This year we had 17 entries in a class where we might have had two or three a few years ago.” She suspected young bakers had put their periods of Covid-19 lockdown to good use watching baking shows on television or online. “You would have to say the standard of the entries was much higher than you would expect,” she said. Mrs Robards said her team had worked well into the night during the weeks leading up to the show to get the pavilion ready. “It was really rewarding when our local MP Kevin Hogan described our displays as the most spectacular he had seen,” she said. “Entries had been been down in other shows and some of the smaller shows had been cancelled because of the rain. “To get this recognition for our efforts was extremely satisfying.” Every year the team of pavilion stewards puts together a centrepiece display. “This year we based our display on the song Down Among the Gumtrees,” she said. Mrs Robards said while results were still being collated, the two overall winners in the pavilion had been decided. She winning entries and place-getters were all awarded points in junior and senior sections and the people with highest overall totals were that year’s Overall Champion. She said this year’s senior winner was Major Cathryn Williamson and the junior winner was Talia Duckworth. In the poultry pavilion steward Barry Reeves could not have happier with the standard of entries given the conditions. “You would have to say they (conditions) have not been favourable,” he said. “But we’ve had about 250 fowls to judge and all have been of good quality.” He said there had also been a good variety of fowls with a good representation from younger poultry fanciers. “We had a dozen entries in the juniors and all the fowls were of a pretty good standard,” Mr Reeves said. He said it was notable there had not been the usual number of entries from area north of Grafton which “People who normally come to the show lost most of

Share ideas on upgrading Rec Ground at Tweed Tweed residents are invited to help design a new playground and park facilities at Recreation Ground, Tweed Heads. Currently, the park is used for informal sports and games, children’s play, markets and picnicking and walking. The aim of the project is to improve the quality of this park and recreation facilities on offer. The community’s input

will be used to develop a draft concept plan so the park is more welcoming and accessible for everyone to enjoy. New facilities proposed for Recreation Ground include: • new play equipment for 2-12 year olds • teen and youth activities • scooter track • half-court basketball • climbing/bouldering wall

• small-scale skate elements • built shade structure • new swings • accessible barbeques, picnic tables and seating • landscaping and more shade trees Acting Manager Parks & Active Communities Murray Smith encouraged as many residents as possible to have their say on the project. “We will be working

on a plan to improve opportunities for children and young people to play. But we also want it to be enjoyed by everyone,” Mr Smith said. “We want local residents, parents, grandparents, young people and children to share their ideas for the park’s upgrade. The short survey will take 10 minutes to complete and will close on Wednesday

1 June 2022. “Once we have incorporated community feedback from this early stage of consultation into the draft concept plan, we will place it on public exhibition later in the year, so people have another opportunity to make comment before it of the park upgrade is scheduled to commence in late 2022.” The project will

be funded through a $200,000 grant from the NSW Government’s Everyone Can Play program, with funds to be matched by Council. Share your ideas by completing the community survey by 1 June 2022. Have your say online and visit yoursaytweed.com.au/ recreationground.

Council to repair vandalised site at headland Council will undertake remediation works at Cabarita Headland next week following the vandalism of 30 plants at the popular viewpoint. At least 30 macaranga plants adjacent to the carpark on the headland were cut down last week in what appears to be a serious case of vegetation vandalism. Council has

undertaken a formal assessment of the site and found the vandalism to be of medium significance due to the high profile nature of the site. Such unauthorised vegetation removal falls under Council’s Vegetation Vandalism on Public Land Policy. The definition of ‘vegetation vandalism’ as per the policy is the

unlawful destruction, damage or injury to trees and vegetation on public land. Mayor of Tweed Chris Cherry said she was disappointed to see such a purposeful act of vandalism. “For someone to wilfully damage and vandalise the environment like this is extremely disappointing and something we take

very seriously,” Cr Cherry said. “This is a real blow to the natural environment – it takes a long time to establish trees such as these in such exposed conditions, where salt and wind and rocky soil conditions prevail. To have this happen is a real blow to the surrounding natural beauty and will increase erosion on this site until

the plants regrow.” This site is very exposed to coastal conditions and limits the actions that can be undertaken. Council will start remediation works next week including: • Erecting shade cloth around the site to limit access and encourage regrowth of the macaranga stems. • Cut branches will be used as mulch on site

to limit erosion of the exposed soil. • Signs will be secured to the fence. • Growth of the macarangas will be monitored with supplementary planting if required. To report vandalism in the community to Council, visit tweed. nsw.gov.au/reportproblem or phone Council on 6670 2400.

Southern Cross University course coordinator for the Bachelor of Midwifery Lisa Charmer said midwives aren’t only there in the birthing room, but have the unique privilege of journeying with women throughout their pregnancies to get the best outcomes for those involved. “It’s a very rewarding profession. It’s a time in a woman’s life and her family’s life where a midwife can assist her in making that transition to parenthood and taking that journey with her,” she said. “It’s about gaining that trust and having the midwife advocate for the woman, and knowing what that woman is wanting for her birth and labour and in early parenting and being able to support her. “Midwives not only provide care, but

also assist woman in navigating the health system during pregnancy, birth and post-partum recovery. “Here at Southern Cross University we have very high demand and applications for students to join our Bachelor of Midwifery. It’s a very contemporary midwifery course delivered by professional midwives in state-of-theart facilities, making it very popular.” Lisa said this year’s celebration had an emphasis on encouraging more Indigenous people to enter the profession. She said Southern Cross University has recently partnered with Indigenous Allied Health Australia (IAHA) to establish the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Academy at Lismore campus where high school students study a school-based Cert III in Allied Health Assistance. “This is really important for midwifery because we want to see more Indigenous students to come and study and graduate and continue supporting women with culturallysafe care within their local areas, and to bring and share their knowledge with colleagues and peers as well.” After graduating from Southern Cross University four years ago, proud Indigenous woman Taneeka Thomas worked at Tweed Hospital – the same place she was born

– caring for pregnant and perinatal women to help close the gap in Indigenous health outcomes. More recently she has worked at the Gold Coast University Hospital’s Waijungbah Jarjums Group Practice, supporting the establishment of the continuity of care program for Indigenous Women, and teaches midwifery students about culturally-safe Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander maternity care at the Gold Coast campus. Last year she gave birth to her first child Pippa – with support from Indigenous women on her own country. “There were so many things that kind of made me really eager to be a midwife, but I think the main one was that I was a teenager when my mum had my baby sister and I was with her supporting during

the pregnancy and birth. The midwife who cared for her was actually an Aboriginal midwife who I idolised and wanted to emulate, so I enrolled in the course when I was 18 straight out of high school and haven’t looked back,” Taneeka, from Banora Point, said. “It’s very important for Indigenous women to have access to an Indigenous midwife. Being an Aboriginal midwife comes with a

known, lived experience of being an Aboriginal person in the community. It gives women that culturally-safe care and empowers them in the health space, allowing them to overcome many barriers they face when accessing maternity care. This enables them to get the right care not only for themselves but for their families and their babies as well and creating better health outcomes in the commuity.”

Draft Community Strategic Plan on exhibition Ballina Shire Council has reviewed the Community Strategic Plan (CSP), a 10-year plan that provides a vision for our the items that are important to its residents.

Rotto is a car-free zone, and the best way to get around is by bicycle, which can be hired through the ferry companies or once you’re on the island. Esperance Remote and utterly remarkable, the southcoast town of Esperance has a coastline that will leave you spellbound. Fine quartz sands edged by tumbles of rounded boulders and endless islands. Esperance is also the closest town to the sandy white beach of Lucky Bay, regularly visited by kangaroos. Lake Hillier, on Middle Island, is a must-see; the pink lake neighbours the dark blue waters of the Indian Ocean to create a surreal sight.

LEGO MASTERS

NBN, 7pm

Creativity is the name of the game in this lively competition hosted by comedian Hamish Blake, and tonight it pays for the teams to have their heads in the clouds. With an elimination looming at the end of the episode, the teams are given a LEGO cloud and challenged to build something amazing to live on it. With 14 hours on the clock to whip up their creations, it’s much more than an average day’s work – but for these teams it’s a dream come true. After all, most of them dedicate hours on a normal day at home to LEGO. The Brick Pit is the place where inspiration sprouts, but with around 4.4 million types of bricks to choose from, the players are spoilt for choice.

Back with its 10th season tonight, this waggishly entertaining quiz show has become the standard cure for any case of Mondayitis, big or small. Hosted by Tom Glesiner (right), along with playful permanent panellists Sam Pang and Ed Kavalee, it’s a master class in unscripted silliness, mixed in with some informative news and pop culture. This week, Sam and Ed will be given a run for their money with their top-notch comedic guests. Exciting young talent Aaron Chen joins the shenanigans, along with show favourites Kitty Flanagan, Chen’s co-star in the local hit series Fisk, and Anne Edmonds, who has become a mum since last season.

What’s this mysterious Space 22, you ask. It’s not a new sci-fi series or a funky new drama, but rather a bold, heartwarming social experiment. Named after the large warehouse space where most of this sixpart documentary was filmed, it follows seven diverse Australians with mental ill-health as they embark upon a journey of creativity and art therapy to improve their wellbeing. Hosted by former Neighbours star and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte (above), along with art psychotherapist Noula Diamantopoulos, this emotional premiere sees multimedia artist Abdul Abdullah guide the participants, including former police officer Tracey, to project their emotions onto an object.

Australia’s External Territories make up some of the nation’s most beautiful islands, providing unique natural and cultural attractions to explore. North-west of Western Australia’s capital Perth, wild and wonderful Christmas Island is best known for its annual red crab migration, while further west the Cocos (Keeling) Islands pairs postcard-perfect beaches with a rich Cocos Malay culture.

home to a bounty of rare and endemic wildlife, making it a photographer’s dream. Reached by a 3.5-hour ruggedly beautiful and multicultural island also has temples and World War II relics to discover, while the vibrant coral reefs fringing Christmas Island offer another incredible natural wilderness to explore. cent of the island’s 135sq kms, Christmas Island National Park sets the scene for one of the world’s most mesmerising natural spectacles: a mass migration that sees millions of red crabs march to the ocean each summer to breed. But you don’t need to visit during the migration to admire the island’s iconic crustaceans, as large numbers of red crabs – along with huge robber crabs – can be

Case for higher interest rates mount The residential property markets of Australia’s two largest cities have negative territory since the extended lockdowns of 2020. Sydney and Melbourne’s market slowdown has seen CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index (HVI) continue to lose steam through April. Housing values are still rising at the national level, however the 0.6% monthly rate of growth is the lowest reading since October 2020. Sydney and Melbourne, which have the heaviest weighting in the HVI, were the main drag on the headline growth rates. Sydney housing values recorded the third consecutive month-onmonth decline, down

0.2%, while Melbourne when taken out to the second decimal place). Technically values are down over three of in Melbourne. Hobart also recorded a negative monthly change (-0.3%), fall in 22 months. CoreLogic’s Research Director Tim Lawless says the weakening state of the market has taken trend into negative territory across Sydney and Melbourne for the cities were in the midst of extended lockdowns in mid-to-late 2020. Demonstrating the diversity in housing conditions across the broad regions of Australia, half of

the capitals are still recording a monthly growth rate above 1%. Adelaide, at 1.9% growth in April, led the pace of capital gains, followed by Brisbane (1.7%), Canberra (1.3%) and Perth (1.1%). Although monthly growth rates remain high in these markets, Mr Lawless warns the trend rate of growth is easing in most of these areas as well. Based on Brisbane dwellings moved through a peak rate of growth in December last year at 8.5%, slowing to 5.7% over the most recent three month period. Similarly, Adelaide moved through a peak in the trend rate of growth

April. Perth and Darwin are the exceptions, where the has gathered some steam since late last year. Perth housing values were months ending April compared with a recent lull through late last year

“A rebound in migration rates as state and international borders re-opened could partially explain the renewed exuberance, along with persistently low advertised stock levels and strong economic conditions,” Mr Lawless says. “While ABS internal migration data by greater capital city is currently only reported to June 2021, the data points to

a vast uplift in internal migration to Perth for substantial turn-around from the previous fouryear average (-3,735).” Regional Australian housing markets have been somewhat insulated from the slowdown, with housing values up the combined regionals index, compared with a 0.3% gain across the combined capitals. Advertised stock levels

average in the regions, while the volume of home sales is holding 20% above the previous imbalance between available supply and demonstrated demand is a key factor supporting growth in

housing prices across Regional Australia, however the trend rate of growth is generally slowing as affordability constraints become more challenging. The annual growth trend in home values is now falling sharply, with the national reading dropping from a recent peak of 22.2% growth over the year ending November 2021, to 16.7% over the most recent 12-month period. As the stronger months of capital gain from early 2021 fall out of the 12-month calculation, Mr Lawless says we will see the annual change reducing more sharply over the coming months. In weaker markets like Melbourne and Sydney, advertised supply levels have normalised.

Performance gap between houses and units falls further CoreLogic’s monthly Unit Market Update shows the annual performance gap between houses and units fell to 8.7% in March as both markets slipped further from their peak rate of growth recorded in January. At the national level, units recorded a 0.3% rise in values over March, in line with the growth rates recorded in January and February, resulting in a first quarter appreciation of 0.9%. This is equivalent to a $5,464 increase in median unit values through the quarter. National house values rose 0.8% in March and 2.8% over the three months to March, thanks in part to strong growth in QLD and SA. The rise in house values through the quarter was equivalent to a rise of $21,690 in median values. While national houses

are still recording stronger value growth compared to units, houses have also recorded a faster deceleration in the pace of quarterly growth. Since reaching a cyclical peak in May 2021, the pace of quarterly house growth has recorded a 4.9 percentage point fall, compared to a 3.8 percentage point fall for unit quarterly growth. Coming off the back of strong annual growth, affordability continues to be a key factor affecting market conditions. Amid higher inflation and the rising cost of living, prospective buyers are finding it harder to save for a deposit, while the amount required for a deposit has also increased. Assuming a 20% deposit level, the average house deposit has increased by approximately $36,000 over the past two years, while the typical unit

deposit has increased by around $15,000. As noted in previous CoreLogic research, increasing investment in higher density dwellings has a significant role to play in alleviating affordability concerns, because higher density housing is generally more affordable. Additionally, increased housing density across key transport lines can help maximise the efficiency and use of infrastructure. The softer market conditions have not impacted all markets and value segments equally. Over the month of March, growth in houses was 0.5% across the combined capital cities, outperforming units (which were steady over the month). However, combined regional house and unit values both recorded a monthly appreciation of 1.7%. While capital city

unit values remained flat over the month, the lower quartile of unit values recorded a modest rise of 0.9%, while the middle and upper segments recorded value changes of 0.2% and -0.5% respectively. Historically, the upper quartile value trend has been more volatile with higher peaks and deeper troughs. Over the three months the March, upper quartile unit values fell by -0.7%, while the middle and lower quartiles both recorded positive quarterly growth (0.5% and 2.4% respectively). A similar trend can be seen across the individual capital cities. Unit values are beginning to record quarterly declines across the more expensive cities of Sydney (-0.6%) and Melbourne (-0.2%), while relatively cheap cities like Brisbane and Adelaide are still

recording quarterly growth above 4%. With a median value of $833,815, the typical Sydney unit is approximately $355,000 more than the typical Brisbane unit, and more than double the price of the average Adelaide unit. At the suburb level, 51.4% of Sydney’s unit markets analysed in CoreLogic’s Mapping the Market Report recorded a decline in values over the first quarter, with a number of the largest falls recorded in the city’s Northern Beaches region. Across Melbourne, 58.0% of the unit markets analysed recorded a decline in values, with the largest value declines recorded across the inner-city markets. Brisbane continues to be the stand out performer amongst the capital city unit markets, recording a new cyclical high in monthly (1.6%),

quarterly (4.6%) and annual growth rates (15.1%) in March. The typical Brisbane unit recorded a $63,000 rise in values over the past 12 months. Just one Brisbane suburb recorded a fall in unit values over the first quarter of the year. While Adelaide units continue to record strong monthly growth rates, quarterly growth appears to be slowing, with the pace of quarterly growth decreasing from 4.4% in January to 4.2% over the three months to March. Perth has recorded a surprise reversal in its quarterly growth trend, with the reopening of the WA border potentially pushing unit values 0.7% higher over the three months to March. While quarterly growth has remained positive across Hobart, Darwin and Canberra, the pace of growth continued to ease over March.

To support improved quad bike safety, NSW Fair Trading has also visited more than 162 outlets across the state, to ensure new, general purpose quad bikes displayed for

sale are equipped with roll bars. “Quad bikes are the biggest killer on Australian farms with roll over the main cause of death, which is why the safety standard was introduced with mandatory roll bars as one of the key elements,” Ms Petinos said. Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Dugald Saunders is

encouraging producers and processors to apply for the rebates to insure themselves against unnecessary risk. “Our farmers aren’t just the lifeblood of the Agriculture sector but they’re also so crucial to generating billions and billions of dollars for the NSW economy,” Mr Saunders said. “The work they do is vital and can sometimes

be dangerous, which is why it’s essential we take every step possible to alleviate the likelihood of an accident occurring. about the quad bike safety standard, please visit Quad Bike Safety Standard – SafeWork NSW. For more information on rebates, visit Quad bike and SSV rebates - SafeWork NSW.

Farmers not receiving price rises Rising inflation has sent prices up at the checkout, prompting calls from farmers for a crackdown on price gouging. The Consumer Price Index jumped 2.1 per cent this quarter – and is up 5.1 per cent over the past year – but NSW Farmers Horticulture Committee Chair Guy Gaeta said not all was it seemed at the checkout.

“People are paying more for their fruit and vegies at the supermarket, but the farmers aren’t selling them for more, so who’s really raising the prices here?” Mr Gaeta asked. “Sure you’ll get a little lift in prices because of the cost of fuel, but not like we’ve seen at the checkouts recently. “What we’re seeing is

the power of the major supermarkets lifting food prices and pocketing the extra profits.” Last week NSW Farmers staff visited supermarkets and green grocers in Sydney to compare the prices of fresh food. They found bananas, potatoes, oranges, tomatoes and cucumbers were all at least a dollar a

kilo cheaper at a green grocer less than 100 metres from a major supermarket. There were even bigger savings on mushrooms and celery, while onions were less than half the price per kilo than the supermarket. Seasonal produce was also markedly cheaper. Mr Gaeta said it was the result of systemic

competition failures in Australia, and he called for a commitment from both sides of politics to solve the problem once and for all. “How is it that big supermarket chains with their own warehouses, their own trucks, their own supply chains, that they’re dearer than the little guys?” Mr Gaeta asked.

“We’ve had a number of government reports that there’s no level playing field for farmers, small businesses and consumers, and that needs to stop. “We need both major parties to have the courage to commit to the competition law reform and fix this broken model that is costing Aussies at the checkout.”

Farmers must have their say on renewables Energy Transition farmers must be involved in a government review of renewables. Reg Kidd, chair of the NSW Farmers Energy Group, said it was vital to provide input into the Agriculture Commissioner’s review. “NSW Farmers has been calling for the role

of the NSW Agriculture Commissioner to be expanded to champion the interests of farmers and regional communities in the energy transition,” Mr Kidd said. “We welcome this opportunity for rural landholders to engage with the government so there can be better understanding and consideration of

agricultural land in strategic planning. What we want to see is the highest benefit for regions that provides opportunities and avoid negative impacts.” There was a finite amount of agricultural to produce food for NSW, Mr Kidd said, and

sure there was a balance

between production and other uses. “So far the custodians of our rural land have been all but ignored in how to best achieve renewable energy installation in our traditional rural areas, and this review will give a voice to the damage done to date, and to the opportunity to do it right,” he said. “There is a vital need

to plan upfront, not mitigate damage, so that the environment, urban and peri urban expansion and infrastructure on rural land coexist, while maintaining the productivity and cultural values of rural NSW. Industrial installations such as solar and wind energy plants are vital to our ongoing energy requirements and can deliver real benefits to

rural land owners and need to be in the right balance, and not divide communities and erode hundreds of years of economic and social fabric.” Access the paper and provide a submission at www.dpi.nsw.gov. au/agriculture/lup. Submissions close 5pm, May 23, 2022.

A new era for farm forestry The NSW Government is introducing new Farm Forestry Codes of Practice that will ensure long-term sustainability for the industry and provide robust environmental protections across the NSW private forestry estate. The new Codes, which came into effect on Monday, 2 May 2022, are the result of a rigorous review of Farm Forestry in NSW as well as advice from the Natural Resource Commission. Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said farmers and landowners supply around 30 per

cent of NSW’s high quality saw logs. “Farm Forestry is a pivotal part of our regional economies, generating $482 million annually and supporting 835 direct and indirect jobs on the North Coast alone,” Mr Toole said. “Hardwood timber logs from private estates play a critical part in our construction, transport, manufacturing and farming sectors and are visible all around us every day. “Timber is used in everything from housing and commercial construction products including timber frames to power poles,

bridges and fence posts. “These new codes will provide the critical materials we will need to rebuild our communities impacted by the recent the construction boom economy.” Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said the new Farm Forestry Codes are a to landholders and the community under the NSW Forestry Industry Roadmap. “Farm forestry is the ultimate renewable industry and an Australian grown product that we should all be very proud of,” Mr

Saunders said. “These new Codes provide a consistent and sustainable approach to how farmers manage their farms and forests, are clear and easier to use, and meet the principles of ecologically sustainable forest management.” Mr Saunders also said the new codes will play an important role in addressing the critical timber shortage in NSW and Australia currently. “These new Codes will put farmers in NSW in better stead to produce timber to be sold domestically, which not only directly addresses these timber shortages but also increases

income streams for farmers after a tough few years.” The new Farm Forestry Codes have been informed by specialist experts in Forest Science and Ecology, and reviewed by the NSW Natural Resources Commission which found that the new Codes of Practice are a substantive improvement on the existing PNF Codes. New changes for landowners under the codes include: • New harvest and operating standards that provide greater clarity and are easier for landholders to apply – now including pest, weed

• Updated planning and reporting with a clear role for Local Land Services to engage with farmers, and options for and • Environmental protections that are clearer for landholders while ensuring longterm environmental and productive sustainability in farm forests.

CUPRA’S FIRST FULLY ELECTRIC MODEL COMING TO AUSTRALIA

By !"#$%&!$$!'(

Cupra Born BEV has been extensively tested in Australia. Cupra’s Born battery electric vehicle will soon be on its way to Australia, the brand’s CEO and President Wayne Griffiths has confirmed. “Last year in Munich I expressed my determination to get the Cupra Born to Australia as soon as possible,” Mr Griffiths said. “I can tell you this morning that Cupra’s first fully electric model - and European Car of the Year finalist - will go into

production for Australia in the last quarter of this year and will start deliveries early in 2023. “Already a sales success in Europe, the Cupra Born is a car that in its every aspect embodies the visual and dynamic aesthetic that sets our brand apart. This car is set to be the impulse for a new generation of Aussie car lovers and to prove that performance and electrification can be a perfect match.

“As you know, since January we have had three Cupra Borns on your streets [in Australia] running tens of thousands of kilometres of tests, accruing valuable data that is being assessed in Barcelona right now.” Cupra begins online sales shortly with an initial range comprising the Formentor crossover, Ateca SUV and Leon hatchback. The Formentor and Leon lineups each include a plug-in hybrid

electric vehicle (PHEV), the first affordable European cars of this type to be offered in this country - according to Mr Griffith. Director of Cupra Australia Ben Wilks said that some 6500 expressions of public interest have been received by the brand to date; the majority (2900) for the Formentor range with the Born second on 1800. “This is a remarkable response to a brand that is entirely new

to Australia and which is barely four years old,” Mr Wilks said. “To secure Born production at a time of unprecedented global supply challenges demonstrates Cupra’s commitment to Australia.” !"#$#%&'(%)'' *+,$#-#$(.#/%'0#11'' 2,'$/%-#"3,)'*4/".156

By !"#$%&!$$!'(

BMW Australia has provided details of the seventh-generation 7 Series coming here in the fourth quarter of 2022. Initially it will be imported in two models, the 740i and fully electric i7 xDrive60. Its wheelbase, at 3215mm, is 5mm longer than the sixth-generation long wheelbase model, while overall vehicle length,

width and height has increased by 130mm, 48mm and 51mm respectively. Two-axle air suspension and adaptive damping will be standard across the Australian line-up. Significantly, the 7 Series will include

a fully electric version - the i7. Development of the new 7 Series is in full alignment with BMW’s primary focus on C02 reduction and all-encompassing sustainability strategy with use of green energy and a high

proportion of natural and recycled materials in the production phase. Innovative features highlight the progressive character of the new 7 Series sedan cabin, including the BMW Theatre Screen,

the multi-sensory vehicle experience BMW iDrive with the latest generation of BMW Operating System 8, as well as the BMW Curved Dis-play and the Manoeuvre Assistant for automated parking and maneuvering.

Natural & Homemade Insecticides

Save Your Garden

Without Killing the Earth Garlic is well-known for its pungent aroma, which is delectable to some and yet repellent to others, and it is this strong scent that comes into play when used as a natural insecticide. Actually, it’s not really clear if garlic spray and chile spray (below) are actually insecticides or are more likely insect repellents, but either way, these common kitchen ingredients can be used to knock down, or even knock out, insect infestations in the garden. To make a basic garlic spray, take two whole bulbs (not just two cloves) and puree them in a blender or food processor with a small amount of water. Let the mixture sit overnight, then strain it into a quart jar, adding one-half cup of vegetable oil (optional), one teaspoon of mild liquid soap, and enough water to fill the jar. To use this homemade insecticide, use one cup of mixture with one quart of water and spray liberally on infested plants.

From the folks at Rodale’s Organic Life comes this all-in-one DIY natural insecticide, which is said to be a combination of many different recipes submitted by readers. To make it, puree one bulb of garlic and one small onion, add one teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder and let steep for an hour. Strain the mixture and add one tablespoon of liquid soap and mix well. To apply this homemade insecticide, spray it full-strength onto both the upper surface of the leaves, as well as the undersides, and store the remainder in the refrigerator for up to a week if desired.

Similar to garlic spray, chilli pepper spray is a great homemade natural insect repellent that can be used for a variety of different pests. Chilli spray can be made from either fresh hot peppers or chile pepper powder. To make a basic chilli spray from pepper powder, mix one tablespoon of chile powder with one quart of water and several drops of mild liquid soap. This mixture can be used full-strength on the leaves of affected plants. To make chilli spray from fresh chilli peppers, blend or puree one-half cup of peppers with one cup of water, then add one quart of water and bring to a boil. Let sit until cooled, then strain out the chilli material, add several drops of liquid soap to it and spray as desired.

Although there are many more natural pesticides available, such as Bt (a soil microbe toxic to certain insects), milky spore (also a microbe), nicotine (extracted as a tea from bulk tobacco), pyrethrum (derived from a variety of daisy), and iron phosphate (a natural mineral toxic to slugs and snails), the above natural and homemade insecticide recipes should give you a good starting point for creating your own version. Every organic gardener seems to have their own particular blend and ratio of ingredients, so by paying close attention to the effects of a specific recipe, it’s possible to modify it to best suit your own insect battles. Just remember, killing off all of the insects in your garden is not the desired result here, as any healthy ecosystem requires an abundance of beneficial insects, microbes, and fungi, both in the soil and on the plants themselves, so introducing other predatory insects (ladybugs, praying mantis, etc.) or creating good habitat for them, as well as building soil fertility, can also be an effective pest management approach.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Appealing pulling appaling polling Everyone knows that polling, like statistics, is very inexact, although 100 percent of statisticians and pollsters would dispute this. However there is no disputing the power and influence of polls. It is a great disappointment to most that Australian elections are decided by about five percent of the population - the swinging voters - but what can they do? Nothing. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote, you will be fined if you don’t, and okay, you could just get your name crossed off but you’re already there, so you might as well vote as you always do, unless you are among that five per cent, in which case you’re busting to keep the bastards honest. Of that five per cent, 95 per cent will ultimately vote as they always have – those who think we should be kind and generous to everyone and share the nations wealth will vote Labor, those who think kindness and generosity starts at home (and their boarding school), will vote Liberal, while those whose forebears voted National since 1901 will do so because Barnaby looks like Grandad in those daguerreotypes on the mantelpiece. That leaves just five per cent of five percent who are the swingers. Alas 99 per cent of them are swayed by the polls, thinking, “well, I hate Morrison (and Barnaby), but I don’t want Labor to think they are that good”, and will, on polling day, cast their vote, not as they told the pollsters, but as they always have, which leaves pretty much just me as the only voter able to influence the election. How do I know my choice will

reflect the actual outcome? Easy, I took a poll. Remember Paul the World Cup, Octopus? Well, hello Minky The Election Dog. I filled a blue bowl with pork to reflect the Coalition, a red bowl with more pork for Labor, a green bowl with vegetables for the Greens and a teal bowl with a refreshing new recipe of clean, green, free-range, free-trade certified, sustainably managed, transparent, honest-to-goodness Lobster. The result was overwhelming, but a quick visit to the vet should fix that and our nostrils. However not to hold you in suspense...she ate everything, naturally, but clearly looking for a change, ate the lobster first. Unlike humans, she has an innate ability to know what’s good for her so she ate the vegetables next (okay, they were smeared with free-range chicken), followed by the red bowl because it was closest to the green and the blue last because she is well and truly over pork. Gee, the pollsters could have saved a lot of time and money and just asked Minky. Meanwhile let’s celebrate, comfortable the country will be in good hands after the 21st. Now, what wines can we find with teal labels? None, that’s why Climate 200 chose the colour.

RedHeads SA Moonlighters Red Blend 2020, $20. You could be forgiven for thinking something called Moonlighters would be light and frivolous. It is in fact quite weighty and frivolous, an even better combination. 9.4/10. RedHeads Barossa Valley ‘1888’ Shiraz 2020, $50. For such an understated, this is quite an overstated wine, indeed all of us stated we’d like another. Big and bold in that Barossan, teal way. 9.5/10. Vickery Eden Valley Riesling 2021, $23. There was a time when my friends shunned whites. Thanks goodness they’ve all grown up. This is delightful grown-up riesling, under an almost teal-grey label to go with them. 9.4/10. Vickery Eden Valley Zander Quarry Block (EVR903 Z) Riesling 2019, $32. With such an impressive name, the senses are heightened by expectation, and rightly so. That’s what marketing is all about. Sometimes the marketing is worth it, like teal. 9.4/10. Shaw Wines Canberra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, $34. The Canberra Cabernets could be a sporting team of some kind, or a political party, perhaps with a hint of teal in the guernsey as it is in the label if you’re colourblind. 9/10. Shaw Wines Canberra Shiraz 2019, $34. Sometimes you want a wine with bite but not too much, at which times cool climate shiraz is your friend. Don’t tell your doctor that. 9.3/10.

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 have been writing for years. Let the theme inspire you, and start putting down some words!

Isabella Nichols in action Photo: Dunbar/WSL

MAX PERROT Tweed Head’s Isabella Nichols has won the Margaret River Pro in the eight-to-ten-foot waves at Main Break. Nichols’ win not only marked her maiden CT victory, but saved her position to continue through the back half of the 2022 CT following the Mid-season Cut. Coming into the Final Day of competition

at the Margaret River Pro, Nichols sat in 12th position on the rankings and below the Midseason Cut line. To move above the cut and keep her spot on Tour, the equation was simple: Win the event. In her second year on the CT and having only one CT Finals appearance under her belt, taking a win at the elite level would be no easy feat, but the

Sunshine Coaster dug deep to overcome local hero Bronte Macaulay and rookie Gabriela Bryan (HAW) in the Final. back-and-forth battle between Nichols and Bryan, but in the end, it was the smooth frontside of Nichols that saw her claim her maiden CT victory, and save her spot on the elite level.

Nichols will now head to the Quiksilver Pro G-Land sitting in the fourth position on the rankings. “This moment doesn’t even feel real at the moment,” Nichols said. “I’ve dreamt about this my whole life and I feel like this is going to take a while to sink in. “There is no better feeling than this in the whole world. “I just came to this

event, and as corny as it sounds, I just had fun. “It was just yesterday I was thinking about falling off Tour... and now, it’s all about the WSL Final 5, the goals have changed. I just want to thank friends, family, fans, and sponsors, this is just amazing.” The new Mid-season Cut has now reduced the men and Top 10 women. Our male Northern

Rivers pro surfers Callum Robson, Connor O’Leary and Owen Wright had different outcomes with Robson and O’Leary securing their place in the in 8th and 18th positions respectively while unfortunately Wright cut line in 23rd spot.

Ghosts 10-minute try-fest haunts Panthers TIM HOWARD

A 10-minute try-fest for the Grafton Ghosts just before halt time was the difference between the hosts and the Sawtell Panthers on Sunday. Turning out on a sodden Frank McGuren Field the Ghosts and Panthers slogged it out for 30 minutes, scoring a converted try apiece as fans settled in for a mud-soaked arm wrestle. After 30 minutes of tough, grinding play the Ghosts exploded with Kyran Heron, Vincent Williams and Cooper Woods scoring tries in quick successions to open up a 24-6 lead, which the visitors were unlikely to catch. For the Ghosts it was an all too rare passage of play where passes stuck and the ball bounced their way. Halfback Vinnie Williams scored one of the tries after charging

A brace of tries was good reward for the fullback who was secure at the back under the high ball on the type of day fullbacks usually dread. The second half was a the points explosion in Instead both sides traded tries as they wrestled with each other and the conditions. After the game Ghosts captain coach Todd Cameron said he was just happy to have the two competition points. “It was always going to be a slog out there today,” he said. “We didn’t expect it to be anything else.”

He praised the Ghosts hard working forward pack who dominated their opponents in defence. “We didn’t have a bad player out there in the pack,” he said. But he was disappointed at the amount of dropped ball and a couple illdisciplined incidents. “The dropped ball was

mostly our doing,” he said. “It and the discipline is something we’ll need to work on,” Cameron said. But he did cut his players some slack, saying the disjointed preparation and start to the season due to the wet weather was having an effect. “We didn’t get to train
