The difference a kind holiday maker makes

Two injured after car rolls into a house LARA LEAHY At 12.50pm on Saturday afternoon, a car rolled into a house on Fairway Drive, in Casino. Two people were injured, one being trapped in the vehicle. Casino VRA rescue crew cut away part of the house debris to free the second person. Both were treated by paramedics on site and are recovering in hospital. The car was not badly damaged, but the house has been severely impacted.

Push to shop locally As businesses struggle to get back on their feet in the wake of Tweed Shire Council is getting behind the expansion of an innovative plan to spend money locally. The success of the Why Leave Town pilot program is now prompting the expansion of the scheme across other regions of the Tweed. In the aftermath disaster, there has never been a more crucial time to spend locally and support impacted local businesses. The Murwillumbah trial began in August 2021 and by the end of January 2022, a total of 629 cards had been ‘loaded up’ with more than $32,290.

LARA LEAHY Keri and Jack have been gifted a place at Reflections Caravan Park in Evans Head over Easter by a conscientious holiday maker. “It’s just amazing, absolutely amazing,” said Keri. Keri and Jack lost the majority of their worldly possessions when their rental was flooded in Broadwater. “Everything in the house was submerged for five days. Nothing made it through that.” Their caravan, which had a “handful of precious things” stashed

in it, and cars were saved as they were evacuated the day before. However, they were isolated away from their caravan for a week. “The first week was spent in Ballina with friends,” Keri said, “When we could get access to our caravan, we took it to Reflections, and were offered free accommodation for our stay. However, as so many others did, we were asked to leave to make way for holiday makers.” The story of being displaced by the floods is common - it’s a constant source of apprehension,

A flood evacuee, Bob, who after losing his house, had gone to stay with family. He was contacted by a friend, Rob, who had a long standing holiday booking at Reflections. He was looking for a flood victim to take his booking. Bob offered it to Keri and Jack, who he had made contact with via Messenger, checking

on how flood victims were faring. Keri and Jack are “blown away” by the selfless act,”We don’t even know these men.. The generosity is incredible. Rob had paid for the campsite and even offered to bring his caravan down and set it up for us if we didn’t have one.” “I feel for everyone displaced by this flood,” Rob said. “I asked my daughters if they’d mind, and they said, ‘Do it, dad’ without question.” Rob is grateful that he and his family are able to do something for people,

reflecting, “Being kind is free.” Keri and Jack’s options earlier in the week were looking thin. “When we were told we had to leave, the only option available was to move to the Gold Coast. I work in Lismore, so it was entirely impractical.” After Easter, they will move once more to a caravan park at Shaw’s Bay, where they have managed to secure a space for a month, but will be paying for their booking. After that, “We do what we have to do.”

In particular, the inquiry will consider the preparation, coordination and response to the flooding experienced on the North Coast and in Western Sydney. Committee Chair and Shadow Minister for the North Coast, the Hon Walt Secord MLC, stated: ‘The floods we have seen on the North Coast and in Western Sydney over the last few weeks have

been devastating on local communities. A parliamentary inquiry was established to examine concerns raised by local communities about the adequacy of support and resources available to them.’ The Chair continued: “The committee encourages all interested stakeholders, including affected communities, organisations and experts, to share their experiences and views on the response to flooding across the state as this will help us to consider lessons for the future.” In particular, the

committee is seeking views on the: • preparation, coordination and response by government agencies to the floods • role, composition and resourcing of key government agencies involved in the flood response • coordination between various stakeholders including the state government, federal government, local governments, private sector organisations and the community • public communication, systems and strategies • implementation of

The NSW Flood Inquiry is our community's chance to tell the government what needs to happen. Now and in the future.

The NSW Government has released its new Koala Strategy, backed by an unprecedented amount of funding and more than 30 actions to conserve and grow koala populations. Environment Minister James Griffin said the five-year plan is a comprehensive roadmap that will help deliver the NSW Government’s ambition to double the number of koalas. “This $193.3 million NSW Koala Strategy is the biggest financial commitment by any government to secure the future of koalas in the wild,” Mr Griffin said. “In fact, this is the largest investment in any single species in Australia, and demonstrates how committed we are to conservation and achieving our goal of doubling koala numbers by 2050. “We know there are multiple threats to

The NSW Wildlife Council (NWC), the peak body for wildlife rehabilitation in NSW, has recently issued almost $48,000 to volunteer wildlife carers impacted in the recent flooding events. These volunteers play a vital role in the survival of native fauna. The NWC aims to achieve optimal outcomes for native fauna, representing 26

koalas, including loss and fragmentation of their habitat, compounded by the impact of the devastating 2019–20 bushfires, as well as vehicle strike and dog attack.” The Strategy focuses on conservation actions under four themes: • $107.1 million for koala habitat conservation, to fund the protection, restoration, and improved management of 47,000 hectares of koala habitat • $19.6 million to supporting local communities to conserve koalas • $23.2 million for improving the safety and health of koalas by removing threats, improving health and rehabilitation, and establishing a translocation program • $43.4 million to support science and research to build our knowledge of koalas. “This strategy

will better secure 10 climate resilient koala stronghold locations from the Southern Tablelands, to Campbelltown and Lismore, which will receive intensive action in the next five years to support the existing populations there,” Mr Griffin said. “Some of these actions include preventing vehicle strike and dog attacks, and restoring and protecting 47,000 additional hectares of habitat.” A key part of the Koala Strategy involves establishing partnerships with conservation groups and communities. Projects funded by the new Koala Strategy include: • Partnering with Taronga Conservation Society Australia to restore more than 5,000 hectares of Box Gum grassy woodlands around the Western Slopes

The grants have helped a number of groups and carers involving wildlife from marsupial joeys, wombats, flying-foxes, marine reptiles, birds and more! In announcing the release of funds, Audrey Koosmen, NSW Wildlife Council Chair, said: “Many of our member groups and carers have been very seriously affected in this recent flood event losing their

Koalas will be translocated to the site once the woodland is re-established. • Partnering with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Australia to protect 500 hectares of high quality koala habitat on private land under conservation agreements across the Northern Rivers region through the Biodiversity Conversation Trust. • Working with volunteer wildlife rehabilitators, vets and other partner organisations to enhance co-ordination of emergency response for koalas and other wildlife due to bushfire or extreme weather events. “We all want to see koalas thrive in the wild for generations to come, and everyone, including land managers, local councils, wildlife carers, citizen scientists and the NSW Government needs to be involved,” Mr

Meanwhile, The North East Forest Alliance says the NSW Koala Strategy fails koalas. The NSW Government’s Koala Strategy will do little to turn around their

extinction trajectory as it is not stopping logging and clearing of Koala habitat which, along with climate heating, are the main drivers of their demise. “The Strategy proposes nothing to redress the logging of Koala habitat on public lands where at best 5-10 small potential Koala feed trees per hectare need to be protected in core Koala habitat, with the only other requirement being to wait for a Koala to leave before cutting down its tree” NEFA spokesperson Dailan Pugh said. “We know that Koalas preferentially choose larger individuals of a limited variety of tree species for feeding, and losses of these trees will reduce populations. So protecting and restoring feed and roost trees is a prerequisite for allowing populations to grow on public lands. “The most important

volunteers across the state. I thank everyone in the wildlife sector for the great work they are doing to care so well for our wildlife in such challenging conditions.” Ms Koosmen added: “It is a real privilege to be able to help these carers. The public donated generously to the NWC Emergency Fund to support our work with wildlife and these donations will go where

the public expect them to go – to directly benefit native animals needing our help.” Wildlife Council member groups cover the whole of NSW with 4,000 volunteers trained to look after wildlife. The NWC encourages its member groups and their volunteers who were impacted in the recent flooding to apply. All enquiries to grants@ nwc.org.au.

Griffin said. “Protecting and restoring habitat will also support other threatened and endangered species, such as powerful owls and glossy black cockatoos.” The Strategy will help to fill key knowledge gaps and fund priority scientific studies to support koalas, including chlamydia vaccine trials. The new Strategy builds upon the previous $44.7 million NSW Koala Strategy, which protected more koala habitat, invested in fixing koala roadkill hotspots, provided wildlife care training and funded scientific research, among other things.

largest investment in koalas and extensive Koala habitat we know of in NSW is in the proposed Great Koala National Park, encompassing 175,000 hectares of State Forests south of Grafton and west of Coffs Harbour. “Similarly on the Richmond River lowlands the most important and extensive area known is the proposed Sandy Creek Koala Park, encompassing 7,000 ha of State Forests south of Casino. “These are public lands that we know are important Koala habitat that need to be protected from further degradation if we want to recover Koala populations. There are many other areas of important Koala habitat on State forests in need of identification and protection from logging. “The centrepiece of the NSW Koala Strategy is to spend $71 million on private

lands, buying properties and implementing conservation agreements over up to 22,000 hectares. “This will not compensate for the Liberal’s promises to the Nationals, as peace terms in the 2020 Koala Wars, to remove the requirement to obtain permission before clearing core Koala habitat, to end the prohibition on logging core Koala habitat, to open up all environmental zones for logging, and to stop core Koala habitat being added to environmental zones. “Throwing money at piecemeal protection of private land, while allowing some of the best Koala habitat to be cleared and logged will not save Koalas “Similarly their strategy to spend $31.5 million to restore and plant new Koala habitat could help, but only

if they first stopped clearing and logging existing Koala habitat. “Rather than the proposed piecemeal approach, what we need for private lands is for the Government to fund Councils to prepare Comprehensive Koala Plans of Management that identify where the core Koala habitat and important linkages are, and then to direct funding to best protecting those lands. “The NSW Koala Strategy is set to fail because it does not fulfill the most fundamental requirement of stopping existing Koala habitat from being cleared and degraded, and lacks a strategic approach to identify the highest priority lands for protection and revegetation” Mr. Pugh said.

New foodie hub to showcase delights of the Northern Rivers The Northern Rivers’ thriving food and beverage scene will be on show with the launch of a new foodie hub at one of the region’s biggest events. Nourish Food Fest will be held at Norco Primex from May 19-21, and tickets are on sale from Friday, April 8. Coordinator Remy Tancred said many of the region’s businesses were impacted by the devastating floods, but said this new event was a way for the community to show its support during the critical recovery and rebuilding phase. “It’s great to be working on Nourish as it lines up with my values as a champion of local produce for the past 20 years,” she said. “We have so many

talented people in this industry on the Northern Rivers, and Nourish will bring us together to celebrate our beautiful region.” Nourish will take place in a newly created outdoor space under a big food festival marquee, creating a true food festival ambience right in the heart of Primex. This is where visitors will have the opportunity to buy, taste and share local food and drinks. As the licensed venue hub, there will be a range of craft beverages on offer, and it will also be a place to relax with a plate of delicious food while listening to performances by local musicians. At the Paddock to Plate Pavilion, food producers and chefs will combine

to showcase their artisan skills. The Ballina RSL’s executive chef, Stephen Mills, will conduct cooking demonstrations and invite other local chefs to join him on the kitchen stage. Ms Tancred said Mr Mills was a highly experienced chef who would bring out the best in local ingredients to create stunning dishes that visitors would be able to sample. “He’ll share many different techniques throughout the festival, including the nose-to-tail approach, which is all about cooking and farming sustainably,” she said. Primex director Bruce Wright said he was excited to bring Nourish into the event’s program and expected it to be a huge success.

“We’re very happy to be announcing this new food festival, as it’s something that sits well with us as farmers and foodies. This is another excellent opportunity to celebrate everything to do with our local food, while connecting farmers to chefs and consumers,” he said. Nourish Food Fest was made possible thanks to funding from the Australian Government for the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants Program. There is still room for more exhibitors to participate in the inaugural Nourish. To find out more, email admin@primexfielddays. com. To buy tickets, visit www.primex.com.au.

Club upgrades welcoming people of all abilities A day on the water or sitting back and enjoying a meal at the Coffs Harbour Yacht Club will be a little easier for people of all abilities thanks to the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said $450,000 would allow the Yacht Club to undertake accessibility upgrades including building modifications to the clubhouse at the Jetty Foreshores. “The club plans on constructing disabled access to all areas of the clubhouse, as well as building a disabled toilet area to ensure the club can be enjoyed by people of all abilities,” Mr Singh said. “The accessibility will be ideal for families with babies in prams and strollers. “A lot has changed since 1975 when the

club opened, and these accessibility upgrades will provide full and equal access of services

and facilities for everyone.” Coffs Harbour Yacht Club Vice Commodore

Garth McGilvray said this significant funding is fantastic news. “The club is excited to

receive this grant and is planning to work with the NSW Government to further enhance the

facilities for the benefit of water sports in Coffs Harbour and the region,” Mr McGilvray said. Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the Regional Tourism Activation Fund is helping establish unique tourism experiences that attracts visitors and showcases what our regions have to offer. “Projects backed through the Regional Tourism Activation Fund will give domestic and international visitors more great reasons to holiday away from the city,” Mr Toole said. “We are ensuring everyone has the opportunity to experience our regional communities, with funding to support accessibility and inclusion improvements such as lifts in multilevel venues and clear access pathways.”

Writers festival hits close to home LARA LEAHY Kyogle Writers Festival is gaining attention with 70 authors and poets converging on the town for the festival on April 13-15. The theme is “Close to Home?” inviting thoughts on belonging, identity and connection to place for interpretation. Particularly poignant at this time for the region. “There will be authors attending who are at different stages of their career and they come from at least four states - many interstate authors have heard of us and want to make the trip to Kyogle.” Kevin Markwell, the Festival Partnerships Manager said, “We have a varied program of interviews, panels, workshops and shows that will be happening at the KMI Hall and other locations around town.”

Authors include: • Mark “The Black” Olive, Indigenous chef from the SBS series Outback Cafe, and author will be in

conversation with Adele Wessell as the festival kicks off on Friday night. • Chelsea Watego, an Indigenous author from Brisbane lays bare the feelings of many First Nations people who continue to be marginalised and oppressed in her renowned book “Another day in the colony”. • Delia Falconer a novelist from Sydney has recently published a book of essays titled,

“Signs and Wonders.” In this collection, Delia contemplates climate change and our relationship with nature. • Harry Saddler, from Melbourne is a nature author. His titles include “Eastern Curlew” and latest release “Questions posed by quolls” in his different take on writing about nature. • Jean Hinchliffe is an

18 year old from Sydney who led the School Strike for Climate Movement. Jean has written “Lead the way: How to change the world from a teen activist and school striker.” As well as many more authors. Poets include: • Ellen Van Neerven -

They are an Indigenous poet with a number of poetry books. • Jazz Money An Indigenous poet and author of “how to make a basket” which contains a selection of her poetry.

Workshops are always a good part of a festival, and there will be some good topics to sharpen your pencils for: • Writing a Memoir/ Creative Nonfiction by Patti Miller • Writing the Sensual World by Krissy Kneen • Historical Fiction by Katinka Smit

Panel discussions revolve around the theme: • Cooking - the relationship between home and cooking, and how covid has made people reinvent their domestic culinary skills. • A First Nations panel discussing contemporary Indigenous writing. • Notions of home taken by an LGBT panel. • Writing Nature exploring ways that nature can be written about.

Look out for the buskers and poets in the streets, and don’t miss out on what Odette Nettleton has in store for the cabaret show on Saturday night!

Governments must respond to enormity of National Disaster JANELLE SAFFIN These times are traumatic for us. We have suffered a catastrophic event, a National Disaster to be compared only with the destruction of Darwin by Cyclone Tracy. We now need Governments, both State and Federal, to respond to the enormity of what has happened. Governments must back us in through our recovery, no matter how long it takes. We must get the support we deserve. To rebuild our cities To rebuild our villages To rebuild our communities To rebuild better than ever homes, businesses, cities, villages To have rescue systems that combine Emergency Services and Community I am determined to advocate for our needs so that we can be in our homes, in our businesses, on our farms. The size and complexity of our needs requires a new approach

to deal with what has happened to our people. We need a Reconstruction Commission that stands with us for the long haul. I have called for it from day one. Such a Commission would be run by the State Government and backed by the Federal Government. It will be accountable to our community leaders. It will report to us. It will work with us as we chart our community’s repair, rebuild and restoration It will respond to our physical, economic, emotional and environmental needs now and into the future. It will have a Chair that we respect and trust. I have recommended John Brogden who, among other things, is President of Lifeline International and CEO of Landcom NSW.

in joy.” Ultimately, it has been my observation that, those who enjoy what they’re doing and do it for long enough, excel in ways that defy explanation, and yet in prowess, precision, and supreme competence: all of which when combined, pass for expertise. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called ‘Outliers’, which ushered in to popular culture the notion of the ‘10,000-hour rule’, being the suggested and proven timeframe that most people require to establish their expertise. As such, Gladwell professed: “To become a chess grandmaster seems to take about ten years. And what’s ten years? Well, it’s roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness [in any Some might argue this concept is nothing new; as far back as ancient China, there is a passage in the ‘I Ching’ that suggests: “Don’t be like the swamp plant that shoots up overnight, instead be like the oak tree on the side of a hill, whose growth is gradual and yet incredibly strong.” Which shares a wonderful thematic moral with Craig D. Lounsbrough’s comment: “I don’t think that I want to sail in a ship built by someone who has no idea of what water is. Yet, our culture is

deluged with just such shipbuilders.” Whether it’s symptomatic of human culture since our earliest days, or just the last hundred years, we often get utterly duped by those who parade about giving the impression they have all the answers. Relatedly, Tom Nichols once suggested: “Knowing things is not the same as understanding them. Comprehension is not the same thing as analysis. Expertise is not a parlour game played with factoids.” As if countering this somewhat perfectly ironed, and yet rather beguiling modernday trend, Jeffrey G. Duarte once graciously observed: “Face every challenge like a beginner to learn what your expertise has been hiding.” Which is a wonderful way of saying: don’t get too lost or swept up in what you know or think you know, because any one of us are development away from encountering all we have seen or heard up to this point. At the end of the day, whether you’re an expert or not, it makes complete and utter sense to keep in mind the sentiments of the talent strategist, Gyan Nagpal: “In times of rapid disruption and change, what we often realise quite painfully, is that all we have are experts on yesterday. No one is a true expert on tomorrow.” That said, it is through being open and receptive to what occurs today, that we can at least attempt to position ourselves, so as to catch the full gambit of what tomorrow brings.

North Coast councils seeking regional waste solutions Richmond Valley Council and eight other councils across the NSW North Coast are seeking a new processing facility to cut waste going to landfill. The councils are calling for expressions of interest from industry proponents to provide a regional response to the challenge of the volume of waste sent for landfill disposal, as well as enhance recovery rates and gain opportunities from sending recovered materials to end markets. The councils, including Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, Kyogle, Lismore, Tweed and Richmond Valley, will seek to negotiate a longterm waste processing contract with industry, with the successful proponent responsible for the operation and maintenance of an appropriate facility.

Richmond Valley Council’s Director Projects & Business Development Ben Zeller said Council was committed to the implementation of viable options for waste management. Mr Zeller said a regional approach to sustainable waste management may attract private investment in waste treatment, processing or disposal facilities. He said all nine councils were interested in a complete project package, which incorporated feasibility, finance, technology delivery, operation, maintenance, and marketing of the processed output products. He said the range of waste streams available for the new facility could include kerbside and self-hauled

municipal solid waste and recyclables, general waste from commercial and industrial self-haul customers, and residual waste from the material recovery facility too contaminated for recycling. “All technologies offered must meet best practice, have a track record of reliable operation, and meet the environmental and safety expectations documented in NSW’s Environmental and Health legislation,” Mr Zeller said. Expressions of interest will be accepted until 5pm on June 3 and submitted through the VendorPanel. For more information, contact Richmond Valley Council’s Waste and Resource Recovery Manager Alasdair Lawrence via email to alasdair.lawrence@ richmondvalley.nsw.gov. au.

Independents antidote to democracy decline TIM HOWARD Australian democracy is under threat and the wave of independents standing at the next election is the best bet to reinvigorate it two political veterans told an audience of about 120 Grafton people recently. The former Independent Member for Indi, Cathy McGowan, and legendary ABC journalist Kerry O’Brien led the discussion at Bring Back the Balance in Australian Democracy: The Role of Independents, organised by the Independent candidate for Page, Hanabeth Luke. The event moderator was journalist and author, Candida Baker. Ms McMcGowan won the LNP stronghold from Sophie Mirabella in 2013 by 431 votes and increased that margin to 4.6% two party preferred in 2016. When she retired before the 2019 election Ms McGowan’s preferred successor, Helen Haines, became the first independent candidate to succeed another independent in Federal Parliament. Byron Bay-based Mr O’Brien has been at the forefront of Australian journalism for more than 40 years. He has won six Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley. He fronted the ABC’s top current affairs programs, 4Corners, Lateline and the 7.30 Report. He was also a staffer to former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and deputy PM Lionel Bowen, roles which said have given him the insight to cut through the “opaqueness” of political office. He has also broadcast a series of interviews with former Prime Minister Paul Keating, which he turned into a best-selling book. Mr Keating said it saved him from writing an autobiography. Ms McGowan described what inspired

Successful Independent candidate and former Member for Indi, Cathy McGowan, Independent candidate for Page Hanabeth Luke, discussion moderator Candida Baker and legendary ABC journalist Kerry O’Brien at the Grafton District Services Club. her to run for office and the grassroots campaign put together that won her the 25,000 votes she needed to win. She said when the group Voices 4 Indi approached her to run in 2013, she was scared to “We were a safe seat, nothing ever happened,” she said. “It was worse than being safe, we were scared that if we got involved we’d get into trouble. “And we did. And we got involved we’d get into trouble and we’d lose contracts as well. “So we were terrified about talking about politics and what we did felt extraordinarily brave. “But of course it wasn’t, because once we did we found there was all these other people who thought the same.” Ms McGowan said building grassroots support required doing politics in a different, more honourable and accountable way. She said the community was surprised to find the skills it had developed raising money for hospitals and schools, recovering from bushfires and other emergencies could carry over into politics. “The other surprise was

– and it didn’t start out that way – was valuesbased politics,” she said. “It became incredibly important, but we didn’t know it at the start.” She said they decided at the outset the then Member for Indi did not share many values with the community and being her exact opposite would be their competitive advantage. Ms McGowan said she was “blessed” at the time with the messages coming from the Obama administration. “He’d been say “I can” and you had Michelle Obama saying “when they go low, we go high”,” she said. “So we adopted that measure as comparison to our competition.” Mr O’Brien said he did not support any Independent candidate, but hoped their rise as a political force would arrest what he described as a decline in democracy. He said their was broad cynicism and confusion in the Australian community as to what had gone wrong with government. “Why it is less responsive than it needs to be, why so many people feel that they are no longer enfranchised

by the democratic system,” he said. He said the traditional media has declined at the same time and has struggled to stay relevant as it tried to fund its services. “The ABC has never been more important than it is today and it is under threat too,” he said. Mr O’Brien said the major political parties had lost contact with the community because they took too many people too much for granted. “They’ve tended to become more committed to retaining power for power’s sake than they have been to achieve the goals they might once have been committed to, which was running a country.” He said the system had failed to provide leadership, pointing to the high turnover of leaders in both parties in the past two decades. “It is the equivalent of a professional football changing its coach every six months. It’s madness,” he said. Ms McGowan said while it appeared most of the independent candidates, like Ms Luke, were women this was a symptom of the change rather than the

cause. She said independents rose from the community and women were “better at community” than men. “You’ve got to have people in there that can represent your community,” she said. “I think what’s happened with the major parties is people … owe their allegiance first to the party, second to their faction, third to their funders and community might come in fourth or fifth. Not first. “And that’s a problem because you can’t get your federal member to come and do what you want to do because you don’t elect them, the party branding gets them elected.” She said to counter this being recognised as putting community first was vital and women had a competitive advantage. “Who are the people in the community who are good at community?” Ms McGowan said. “At the moment in Australia it’s lots of women.” Ms Luke, from Evans Head, s a lecturer at Southern Cross University and a volunteer with Marine Rescue. She described Ms McGowan and the Indi approach to politics as

inspiring. “The work I’ve done at Southern Cross over the last 11 years has been all about ‘how can communities have more say in decision making?” Ms Luke said. “To then learn about what she’s been doing to then turn that into politics is profoundly inspiring and become something I can grab hold of and run with. “The trick is there is 122,000 voters in Page, it’s a short time to meet everybody, but I’ve got the message out and I’m here to listen. That’s the most important thing.” Ms Luke said it was time to break the coal and gas industry hold on politics and she was encouraged by the way the locals fought off coal seam gas attempting to gain a foothold here. “We have a federal government that is pouring billions of dollars of the public purse into coal and gas, subsidising it. “It’s time we took back control of those purse strings and part of that is engaging people in politics and part of that is having conversations with as many people as possible.”

No curtain calls for floods at theatre LARA LEAHY Lismore’s second flood has been disastrous for so many. Angela from Theatre Theatre looked at the bright side. “At least this time it was only 1.2m high instead of over the ceiling!” A week later, and rehearsals and casting calls are back on the agenda. Angela understands the importance of returning to normalcy so kids can cope more easily. She is working with nine groups

in what she calls “Theatre on roids”. Talking about the need to be located where she is, Angela talks about the central location being handy for people from all over town. But in a pragmatic turn of phrase, she says, “We need to rehearse - where’s the empty space?” Angela is very good at covering the difficulty of the past month with the business at hand, but she mentions, “If there was another flood, I don’t know. I don’t even know.”

Mum stare-glared at me and informed me EVERYONE should read books themselves, even cats & puppies & sharks etc. I queried WHY? ‘Well Leems, if you did take the time to read instead of sleeping, you will come across what the author Roald Dahl once said, “If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read LOTS of books.” And, in addition, you’ll gain wisdom about so much stuff and discipline your brain.

Reading works the same way for your brain. You get smarter. SO THERE Leems! Off you go. READ YOUR SHARK BOOK right now ‘cos I’ve submitted your name to HARD QUIZ as a cat expert on sharks.

Headspace re-opens for appointments at SCU headspace Lismore, the youth mental health service, is again offering young people face-toface appointments after temporarily relocating to the Southern Cross University (SCU) Health Clinic precinct. Face-to-face appointments were temporarily suspended in Lismore after headspace Lismore’s building was impacted by flood water last month. Face-to-face headspace appointments will be available at the SCU Health Clinic by appointment. Lismore headspace manager, Simone Balzer, said Social Futures had worked hard with the program funder, Healthy North Coast, to find a space where young people could come. “We do know young people prefer to meet face-to-face and we are very grateful to have a new space,” she said. “Many of the young people we are seeing have a mix of sadness, anger, and not really knowing what to do, so young people are wanting that support from us.” Ms Balzer stressed that

there was no ‘right’ way to react to a catastrophe and any young person looking for support should not hesitate to get in contact with

headspace Lismore. Young people can also book face-to-face appointments in Casino, Kyogle, Ballina and at headspace Tweed Heads.

headspace also offers young people phone, tele and online counselling. We aim to provide holistic support to young people. Whilst supporting young people with Mental Health is our core focus; we also provide support to young people to access support for physical and sexual health, alcohol and other drugs and vocational and education support via our consortium partnerships and multidisciplinary workforce. Healthy North Coast has coordinated the new SCU space providing Lismore residents access to the vital primary health services. Funded by the Australian Government through the PHN Program as part of the Northern NSW flood recovery efforts, the new precinct has the capacity to house more than 20 primary health services. Healthy North Coast is also launching a new online directory of primary care services onsite so that community members can make appointments.

Free assessment and demolition Free structural assessments and demolition is on offer for residential, small business and primary production property regions to help them repair or rebuild as quickly as possible. Federal Minister for Emergency Management and National Recovery and Resilience Bridget McKenzie said the Australian and NSW governments co-funded Property Assessment and Demolition Program will meet the full cost of demolishing structures that are uninhabitable and beyond economical repair.

“We know that the faster this recovery work can be completed, the sooner communities can start rebuilding and getting their lives back to normal,” Minister McKenzie said. New South Wales Deputy Premier Paul Toole said Johns Lyng Group has been appointed as the Managing Contractor assessors and demolition services necessary to deliver the program. “This package will help ease the burden on owners who face months, and even years, of repairing and rebuilding their properties damaged

or destroyed by these Toole said. The Property Assessment and Demolition Program will be available to both uninsured and insured residential and commercial property owners (including small businesses and primary producers) in eligible declared areas, including the Northern Rivers and Hawkesbury Nepean.

To help gain an understanding of the local economy, Council engaged Sea & Star Advisory to undertake a preliminary economic impact statement and advise on measures to support economic recovery.

The biggest impacts are forecast to be in the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Council’s General Manager Vaughan Macdonald said the levels of the past month

had damaged homes, businesses, and public infrastructure across the Richmond Valley. Mr Macdonald said there were also economic and social challenges in the area and called on authorities and the government to assist in the recovery. “Rebuilding from this catastrophic event will require a supreme effort and support from all levels of government,” he said. “Richmond Valley Council has played a strong role in the initial disaster response – working to restore essential services, reopen public roads and support our emergency services agencies. “But we cannot do this alone.

Radio projects to give regional youth a voice A new Regional Youth Radio Program will give young people living in regional and rural NSW the opportunity to develop skills to run their own radio show or podcast. Minister for Regional Youth Ben Franklin today announced 15 successful applicants of the $200,000 program funded by the NSW Government, including Yarning on Country One Mob Radio (Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation) at Coffs Harbour; ‘Young Legends’ - Byron Youth Service Inc at Byron Bay; and Youth Cultural Identity (Y.Cult.I.D) North Coast Radio Inc (River FM) at Lismore. “It is important we support young people and allow them to have a say on issues important to them. The projects funded under this program will give them the opportunity to discuss local issues and actively participate in their communities,” Mr

Franklin said. “This funding will deliver projects that enable young people to participate in youth radio and podcasting activities, and also include upgrades to sound studios, the purchasing of equipment, and providing of short courses and training opportunities.” Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the program will support the next

generation of radio broadcasters and podcasters. “Giving young people a voice will contribute so much to community life, and I can’t wait to hear more content that connects and empowers our regional young people,” Mr Singh said. One Mob Radio in Coffs Harbour is a First Nations internet based radio station operating in Gumbaynggirr Country, and was successful in

its funding application under the program to grow its on-country youth broadcasts. Founder of One Mob Radio Lachlan Skinner thanked the NSW Government and said the funding would allow them to better connect with their local youth audience. “We are very excited to receive this funding as it allows us to do more of that on-country radio work. Allowing

us to connect with more communities and more young people is something we are very passionate about,” Mr Skinner said.

Resources boosted to fasttrack road recovery Council’s road crews and contractors are set to turn their focus to more permanent repairs of the Tweed’s damaged road network as emergency works to reconnect isolated communities near completion. Since the February flood, and again during last week’s deluge, crews have been working hard to restore access to 62 isolated communities in the Tweed Shire, many cut off as a result of landslips and roads and bridges that washed away. Three communities remain isolated this week, including residents at Commissioners Creek Road, Manns Road at Rowlands Creek and Snake Gully Road at Upper Burringbar, with another six communities having restricted access. Council will continue to work alongside other agencies to ensure supplies and medical assistance are available until access is restored for these people. Council’s Director Engineering David Oxenham, who has been leading Council’s flood response, said the focus would now turn to more permanent repairs of other roads across the Tweed. “Until now, our focus has been to ensure the safety of isolated communities mainly in remote areas of the Tweed,” Mr Oxenham said. “With emergency

works and the road clean-up nearing completion, our crews can now focus on more permanent repairs of our damaged roads. “We have engaged multiple contractors to get as many repairs done as quickly as possible to help the community get back to some kind of normality. More than 1,900 repair jobs have been logged as a result of the flooding events, and crews will be out and about at various locations across the Tweed over the coming months to tackle this workload.” Permanent repairs started this week on Tweed Valley Way, between Riverside Drive north and Riverside Drive south at Tumbulgum, which suffered significant damage during the floods.

Nightworks will be undertaken from 7 pm to 5 am and may take up to 2 weeks to complete, weather permitting. One lane of Tweed Valley Way will be closed to allow crews to work safely within the roadway. Traffic controllers will be on site to direct traffic flow. Please follow safety signs and messages boards. Access to some properties or driveways may be restricted during these nightworks. Please seek assistance from the stop/slow flagmen if required. Materials removed from these roadworks will be taken to Quirks Quarry on Eviron Road. It is anticipated trucks will be transporting material between 7 pm and 12 midnight using the following routes: • northern route will be

via Cudgen Road • southern route will be via Clothiers Creek Road. Permanent repair works are also underway on Stokers Road at Stokers Siding, Carool Road at Carool and Kyogle Road at Terragon. Mr Oxenham said engineering assessments were already underway at the larger and more complex road damages, including landslips at Scenic Drive, Reserve Creek Road and Tyalgum Road, but while these tasks are necessary, permanent construction works at those locations are still some way from starting. “In the meantime we will focus on the large number of repairs that don’t require significant engineering,” he said. “As a result, residents may notice some damages are fixed as a

crew works through a road and other damages are left for another time.” “We apologise for any inconvenience and ask for your patience as we work towards more permanent repairs,” Mr Oxenham said. “Where the roads are closed, please don’t remove or tamper with closure signs or barriers. It’s a serious offence and could result in someone being hurt or killed.” Council’s standard procedure is to notify affected residents and businesses of planned works via a letterbox drop. However, in the interest of expediency, this may not be possible during these flood repair works and updates will continue to be made online via Council’s website and MyRoadInfo.

Tyalgum Road, about 950 metres east of Van Den Broek Road, will remain closed for at least six months after a geotechnical investigation found the roadway too dangerous for temporary repairs. Council will excavate the remaining road to prevent motorists from by-passing barricades blocking the roadway, which was severely damaged by a major landslide during the

A ramp developed by motorists to drive through the major slip on Tyalgum Road has been removed by Council crews and motorists are reminded not to attempt to cross this dangerous slip. It is expected Tyalgum Road will be closed for 6–12 months, in the area of the landslip. Council’s Director Engineering David Oxenham said the

geotechnical assessment indicated the landslip could very likely be subject to ongoing movement, particularly following any additional rainfall. “To ensure the safety of road users, Tyalgum Road will remain closed until permanent repairs can be made,” Mr Oxenham said. “Unfortunately, there are no safe and reasonable short-term repair options for this

Over the next two months, contractors will be undertaking less complex repairs on the following roads, with additional roads to be added as recovery works progress: • Stokers Road, Stokers Siding (starting 6 April) • Bakers Road, Byangum • McConnells Road, Dunbible • Nolans Road, Stokers Siding • Cane Road, Tygalgah • Chinderah Bay Drive, Chinderah • Clothiers Creek Road, Clothiers Creek • Cudgen Road, Stotts Creek • Duranbah Road, Duranbah • Eviron Road, Eviron • Hattons Road, Eviron • Loders Road, Duranbah • McCollums Road, Cudgen • Melaleuca Road, Duranbah • Plantation Road, Cudgen • Riverside Drive, Tumbulgum • Rosewood Avenue, Bogangar • Tamarind Avenue, Bogangar • Tweed Valley Way, Tumbulgum (nightworks started 4 April) • Bilambil Road, Bilambil Heights • Carool Road, Carool (started 5 April) • Dulguigan Road, Dulguigan • Glengarrie Road, Glengarrie • Hogans Road, Upper Duroby • McAuleys Road, Terranora • Urliup Road, Urliup These roads will remain open, however minimal traffic delays are to be expected.

Greens campaign for Page launched our communities and our homes. I’m here to tell the government that the time for community consultation is far from over, and that we cannot engineer our way out of the climate crisis. “I am running for the Greens because only the Greens have fought, over many years, on climate change and government transparency issues such as a federal ICAC and donations reform, for comprehensive health care that includes dental and mental health in Medicare, and equity in educational opportunities.” After the catastrophic flooding of the Northern Rivers, Kashmir says the existing affordable housing crisis will worsen, and comprehensive mental health care will become vital to

support our devastated communities. Kashmir says that we need a federal government that is prepared to act seriously on climate change, unlike the big parties, legislate towards net zero by 2030 and adapt to the challenges of more extreme weather events. “The latest IPCC report has shown that everything is at stake in this election. At this election, we can put the Greens in the balance of power and get Scott Morrison and the Coalition out. If we don’t act now, we are on track for more climate catastrophes and an unlivable world.”

Scenic Rim unveils major adventure tourism program A brand-new nature, eco-and adventure celebration, running from April 29 to May 29 and featuring over 100 nature and adventurebased activities including guided and non-guided hikes, rock climbs, hang-gliding, a mountain bike marathon, ecomasterclasses, hot air ballooning, nature play programs for kids, an adventure race, special guest speakers and … backpacking alpacas, has been unveiled as a result of huge demand. ESCAPE in the Scenic Rim will be staged in the spectacular World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests, mountains and the lush areas the region is so famous for, in fact, it has been named by global travel authority Lonely Planet as one of the top 10 hottest destinations to visit in 2022! Scenic Rim Regional Council Mayor Greg Christensen said the event would connect with the growth of adventure and nature-

based tourism across the globe. “An adventure and nature-based festival for the Scenic Rim is a ‘no brainer’. We have six National Parks, ancient UNESCO World Heritage listed Gondwana rainforests, epic waterfalls, scenic mountain ranges, waterways and lakes. It’s nature’s playground “In 2019 prior to the COVID pandemic, more than one million visitors to our region engaged in adventure and naturebased activities during their visit, bringing in around $27.5 million in visitor expenditure to our local economy. In the we experienced solid growth in adventure and nature-seeking visitors, growing at an average annual rate of over 15%, which is well above the state and national average. “One in every two visitors to the Scenic Rim engages in an outdoor nature activity

!"#$%"&&'##%()%*+",'-&'%./0',

during their visit and since COVID, that trend has only increased, with more and more people seeking the wide open spaces, beautiful natural landscapes and authentic connection with mother nature that our region offers. “There are events for all ages and all levels of to stay and maximise your experience, we have well-known and longstanding nature resorts such as Binna Burra Lodge and O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, along with a range of other glamping, ecotourism, farm stay and lodge accommodation for all budgets and tastes. “ESCAPE is not a festival where you’ll experience hordes of people and the usual trappings of large events. This is an immersive experience where people can discover and relax in nature and challenge themselves physically if they want to. We want to share this special space

to inspire people to get back to the important things in life - spending time with each other, and The event was born of the Gondwana Festival, which was held last year as a range of adventure experiences presented by O’Reilly’s, Binna Burra, Park Tours and Mt Barney Lodge. Scenic Rim Regional Council has taken up the concept and expanded it to encompass the entire region. Just SOME of the events and experiences on offer include: • Backpacking Alpacas - Grab your backpack and a picnic lunch and sign up for an alpaca hike from the alpaca farm to a scenic spot along Canungra Creek for lunch. This will take about 2.5hrs total. In a word AMAZING! • The Iconic Stinson Walk - O’Reilly’s Retreat - Recount Australian history and celebrate the life of Bernard O’Reilly, who heroically saved the lives of two plane crash

survivors 85 years ago in Lamington National Park with a hike through Lamington National Park. EPIC. • Lamington Wild Walks + Forest Immersion - Park Tours - Wild Walks in Lamington National Park across May, in partnership with ParkTours and Binna Burra Lodge. These are challenging adventures off the main walking track system, with guides and BBL park licences. HELLO ADVENTURE. • Luxury Camping Escape - Scenic Rim Trail - Experience the height of relaxed luxury with this event-special retreat at Spicers Canopy Luxury Tents. First up – a 12km guided hike then the rest of the afternoon relaxing in a glamping tent or enjoy a soak in the outdoor hot tub, perfect for sunset. Awake to bird song and enjoy a Chef-prepared breakfast. • Cedar Creek Forest Trail - This bush walk through Thunderbird Park takes you on a

timeless journey – from high plateaus to tumbling waterfalls, virgin rainforests to natural Australian bush lands, plus see wallabies and platypus in the wild and an endless array of Australian birdlife. • Border Tracks: Mt Lindesay to Richmond Gap - Horizon Guides - Find solitude and connection, learn about wild treasures and hear timeless stories over three days on the McPherson Range. The Rabbit Board Fence threads through rugged country - lyrebirds are the soundtrack to and superb views, with special guest: Ben Allmon (The Black and White Braid). • Explore Boonah to Ipswich Trail - This walk takes you from Lillybrook to Boonah, about 20km following the original stock route along Wyaralong Dam, hosted by an experienced Bushwalking Queensland guide.

Power, money, privilege, secrets, lies, emotions and a beautiful white mansion sitting gloriously atop seaside cliffs. Sometimes, you just need one element to grab your attention, and you can forgive the other distractions. Such is the case in this over-the-top thriller slash mystery slash whodunnit: the setting in a rugged, Irish seaside town is stunning – and just as stormy and unpredictable as its characters. If you watched season one, you might be enthused to re-enter the lives of the dysfunctional Ahern clan and their matriarch Val (Dervla Kirwan), if location is your thing. This week, when Val finds “liar” written in lipstick on her mirror, she wisely believes someone is after her.

Any building or renovation project undertaken over the last few years has surely felt like a Grand Designs episode for the homeowners behind the plans, with time and cost blowouts aplenty. However, they pale in comparison when it comes to the Huxham Shard House, an ambitious and futuristic art installation of a home overlooking a picturesque valley in South Devon. Inspired by rocks that feature in the local countryside, property developer Joe and his wife Claire are building a carbonnegative residence with 34 enormous, angled zinc shards jutting out in all directions. The mind-boggling delays and budget woes even surprise veteran host Kevin McCloud.

MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA

TEN, 7.30pm

Combining the winning ingredients of 2020’s Back to Win with the classic MasterChef recipe, this Fans & Favourites season is set to satisfy even the fussiest diner. For the hit show’s 14th iteration, 12 past contestants and fan favourites – among them series winners Julie Goodwin, Sashi Cheliah and Billie McKay – will be challenged by 12 fresh-faced foodies. The fancy fare served up has evolved considerably since inaugural winner Goodwin lifted the trophy in 2009 – how will her classic cuisine measure up against a new generation of chefs for whom cooking with hibachi grills, sous vide and liquid nitrogen is second nature? Hosted by Melissa Leong, Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo. 1504

Julia Champtaloup, The sound of emergence, 2020

Emerging contemporary art Northern Rivers Community Gallery (NRCG) Ballina is renowned as an exciting the best up and coming emerging artists that this region has to offer, and in May 2022, you’ll see a new series of thoughtprovoking exhibitions. Four separate solo exhibitions engage topics to do with human and nature relationships, climate change, and materiality and movement; through photography, installation, sculpture and drawing. Earthly Delights | Kade Valja Kade Valja continues to explore the human experience from the inside-out with

this collection of work inspired by the simple and oftentimes overlooked depth and wisdom encrypted on the surfaces of earthly forms as well as the decay of man-made materials. Intuitive responses back and forth from small hand recycled bronze sculptures to acrylic paintings is how this body of work was created. In turn this contains an intimate visual dialogue between the paintings and sculptures for the audience to explore, personal meaning and understanding to. Souvenirs for the Present |

Julia Champtaloup Souvenirs for the Present is a visual, immersive landscape carrying subtle themes of our interconnected relationship to nature; on the horizon, at eye level and below our feet. The images tell a story of the Australian landscape and the impacts of climate change on a fragile environment. It also highlights some of the vulnerable plants and symbiotic plant relationships to bring awareness to changes in landscape. Double exposure images have been taken in situ within the camera, creating an immersive experience, bringing attention to small microcosms and

altered landscapes. Threads | Penny Bennett This body of work is a suggestion rather than a story, using materials to communicate depth and motion, the passage of time, movement, and nature. Evenly stippled pen marks on paper form variations in tone and cover the entire surface to produce a smooth visual texture. Contrastingly, thread and textiles used in this exhibition form a tempting tactile quality, creating a texture which ink on paper can only allude to. The artist works with simple forms and quickly sketched guides, using reference images, of natural things

such as tree bark, waves, or lichen. Through this body work, she aims to spark imagination in the audience and perhaps connect overlooked materials. Beyond the Bucket List | Lea KannarLichtenberger Beyond the Bucket List is an exploration of Antarctica. Lea KannarLichtenberger considers how our contemporary consumer culture through tourism and the ‘Bucket List’ impacts this remote location. Kannar-Lichtenberger’s interdisciplinary vision examines the juxtaposition between wanting to preserve an environmentally

critical ecosystem, and the travellers desire to go and explore such sensitive areas. All exhibitions open Wednesday, May 4 and continue until Sunday, June 26. launch will be held 5.30 – 7.30pm, Thursday, May 12. Bookings essential via the Gallery website www. nrcgballina.com.au. The Northern Rivers Community Gallery is at 44 Cherry Street, Ballina and is open Wednesday to Friday from 10am until 4pm and weekends from 9.30am until 1.00pm. For further information contact the Gallery on 6681 0530, www.nrcgballina.com.au

Smallest cities drive growth in national housing values CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index (HVI) was up 0.7% in March, a subtle increase on the 0.6% lift recorded in February. The uptick in the monthly rate of growth was primarily driven by stronger conditions in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and the ACT, along with several regional areas, offsetting a slip in values across Sydney and Melbourne. of the year has seen Australian dwelling values rise by 2.4%, adding approximately $17,000 to the value of an Australian dwelling. A year ago, values were rising at more than double the current pace, up 5.8% over the three months to March 2021 rate of growth peaked at 7.0% over the three months ending May 2021. Sydney’s growth rate is showing the most falling from a peak of 9.3% in the three months to May 2021, to of 2022. Melbourne’s housing market has seen growth slow from 5.8% in April last year to just 0.1% over the past three months. CoreLogic’s research director, Tim Lawless, says while the monthly rate of growth was up among some cities and regions, there is

mounting evidence that housing growth rates are losing momentum. “Virtually every capital city and major rest of state region has moved through a peak in the trend rate of growth some time last year or earlier this year,” Mr Lawless said. “The sharpest slowdown has been in Sydney, where housing prices are the most unaffordable, advertised supply is trending higher and sales activity is down over the year. “There are a few exceptions to the slowdown, with regional South Australia recording a new cyclical high over the March momentum is returning to the Perth market where the rate of growth is once again trending higher since WA re opened its borders.” With the softening in market conditions, the national annual growth rate (18.2%) has fallen below the 20% mark August last year, after reaching a cyclical high of 22.4% in January 2021. Mr Lawless said the annual growth trend will fall sharply in the coming months, as the strong gains recorded in early 2021 drop out of the 12-month calculation. National housing turnover is also easing, with preliminary

weeks ending March 27. However, a more detailed analysis of each capital city highlights in the total number of homes available to purchase. In Melbourne, total advertised supply was 8% above the previous

transaction estimates tracking 14.3% lower than the same period in 2021, but still 12.2% above the previous “Nationally, the volume of housing sales is coming off record highs but there is some diversity across the capital cities in Our estimate of sales activity through the lower than a year ago in Sydney and 27% lower in Melbourne, while stronger markets like Brisbane and Adelaide have recorded a rise in sales over the same period.” Regional Australia continues to show some resilience to a slowdown with housing values across the combined regional areas rising at more than three times the pace of the combined capital cities through Regional dwelling values increased 5.1% in the three months to March,

compared with the 1.5% increase recorded across the combined capital cities. The rolling regional dwelling values has consistently held above the 5% mark since February 2021. Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) regional population growth help explain the strong housing conditions outside of the capitals. The number of people living in regional areas of Australia increased by almost 71,000 residents, while residents living in the capitals fell by approximately 26,000 (mostly due to a sharp drop in Melbourne and, to a lesser extent, Sydney). Trends in property listings continue to help explain the divergence in housing growth trends. Advertised inventory, at a national level, is tracking 30% below

towards the end of March, while the number of homes available to purchase in Sydney had virtually normalised to be 7.5% higher than a year ago and only 2.6% average. Higher stock levels across these markets can be explained by an above listings coming on the market in combination with a drop in buyer demand. “With higher inventory levels and less competition, buyers are gradually moving back into the driver’s seat. That means more time to deliberate on their purchase decisions and negotiate on price,” Mr Lawless said. In contrast, advertised stock levels in Brisbane and Adelaide remain more than 40% below average levels and around 20% to 25% down on a year ago. It’s a similar scenario across regional Australia, where total advertised housing stock was 22% below last year’s level and 43%

year average. Such low inventory levels along with persistently high buyer demand continues to create strong selling conditions in these areas, supporting the upwards pressure on prices. Rental trends are becoming increasingly diverse across Australia. At a macro level, rents are still rising at well above average rates. While annual rental growth has eased from a recent peak of 9.4% in November last year to 8.7% over the 12 months ending March 2022, the has rebounded through year, from 1.9% in Dec 2021 to 2.6% in March 2022. The rebound is partly seasonal as rental trends tend to be stronger of the year, but there are other factors at play including stronger conditions across the medium to high density rental sector. The rate of growth in unit rents has strengthened to reach a cyclical high of 3.0% rising at a materially faster pace than house rents (2.4%).

Statement on Dairy Levy Poll results From NSW Farmers Dairy Committee Chair Colin Thompson: “Dairy farmers have had their say and 64 per cent of levy payers wanted no change. NSW Farmers Dairy Committee had supported the recommended 20 per cent increase, but we respect the decision of those farmers and this democratic result. We understand why farmers are reluctant to invest at this time, and the result demonstrates considerable support for the dairy services levy to remain at the current level. “NSW Farmers Dairy Committee supports the need for, and importance of, the unique research, development, and extension activities conducted by Dairy Australia. “Through our new Dairy Manager NSW Farmers will continue to work with key stakeholders such as Dairy Australia, NSW DPI and Australian Dairy Farmers to ensure continued positive outcomes for the dairy industry in NSW. “What is absolutely important is that we have a strong dairy industry into the future, and that’s what NSW Farmers is working towards.”

Farmers demand clarity on worker policy The state’s peak agricultural body says Labor needs to clearly explain how it will address ongoing workforce shortages. Farmers have struggled with a lack of seasonal workers throughout the pandemic, and while the Coalition has pledged to deliver the Ag Visa, Labor continues to dodge the question. With a tight election result predicted and regional NSW seats critical for whoever forms government, NSW Farmers Horticulture Committee member Chris Stillard said farmers were demanding a straight answer from Labor. “Workforce shortages are a huge problem for farmers after two years of COVID lockdowns, and if we don’t have workers for harvest, farmers lose

The Macquarie River is brimming with thousands of native Golden Perch, with the NSW Government releasing Dubbo last week as part of the Native Fish Recovery Strategy. Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Dugald Saunders said the Golden Perch have been bred successfully by dedicated hatchery staff at the purpose-

income, there’s less food in the supply chain, and everyone suffers,” Mr Stillard said. “Perishable fruit and vegetables have a short harvest window, sometimes just a few weeks. “But this is broader than horticulture – harvest work is highly seasonal, you need workers when harvest is ready, you can’t just wait for people to turn up.” Last Friday, Federal Labor immigration spokeswoman Kristina Keneally told media her party would “end the nation’s dependence on short-term visa holders”. Mr Stillard said NSW Farmers would happily invite any potential Labor minister to visit a farm and learn firsthand how reducing foreign worker availability would cripple agriculture.

“People in the bush need to know what impact a potential Labor government would have on them well before the election,” Mr Stillard said. “Our Workforce 10 Point Plan clearly sets out improvements to domestic workforce arrangements need to happen, but we need it balanced with backpackers and other international workers. “We are already seeing farmers having to scale back because of a lack of workers – failure to get this right will pull the handbrake on agriculture and derail our efforts to build a stronger future for farming.”

HONDA HR-V By !"#$%&!$$!'(

Styling of the upcoming new Honda HR-V is tall and handsome. Honda Australia has confirmed the initial details for the allnew HR-V, featuring advanced two-motor e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) powertrain technology for the first time on this model and the latest generation Honda SENSING driver-assist and active safety systems. New HR-V will be sold Downunder in two specification levels with two different powertrains. The Vi X grade powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine. The e:HEV L grade fitted with a two-motor hybrid powertrain. Included amongst the high level of standard equipment and features for the all-new HR-V: • 18-inch alloy wheels with Tyre Deflation Warning System • LED headlights with High Beam Support System • Honda SENSING with Adap

tive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow • Nine-inch Advanced Display Audio with satellite navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay • Smart keyless entry with push-button start Additional equipment fitted to the e:HEV L grade includes: • Hands-free power tailgate with walk-away close • Heated steering wheel & heated front seats • Acoustic windscreen • LED Active Cornering Lights The e:HEV hybrid powertrain consists of two compact, powerful electric motors that work alongside an Atkinson-cycle 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, a lithium-ion battery and a fixedgear transmission coupled to an intelligent power control unit. The intelligent Electronic Control Unit constantly cycles

between Electric Drive, Hybrid Drive or Engine Drive depending on which is the most fuelefficient drive mode at that specific driving situation. Honda HR-V starts off in electric mode, changing to hybrid mode when the engine is under high-torque demand. When driving at a constant high-speed, such as on the highway, the system operates on engine drive. If further acceleration is required, such as when overtaking, the car will switch to hybrid drive for additional performance. Compared to its predecessor, the all-new Honda HR-V has a more rigid body structure and extensive suspension, steering and braking enhancements. NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) management extends to reducing sound pressure change when starting the engine

from EV mode and suppressing engine noise at higher speeds. The infotainment has a nine-inch Display Audio LCD touchscreen interface which is designed to minimise driver distraction. It has a customisable menu layer to provide easy access to convenience features and controls. The interface enables smartphone mirroring via wireless Apple CarPlay (or cable) and Android Auto (cable). Over-the-air software updates allows upgrades to the latest features and apps. Honda ‘Sensing’ safety and driver-assist technologies are standard . They are collision warning, collision mitigation braking system, lane departure warning, lane keep assist system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, high beam

support system and traffic sign recognition system. Additional driver-assist technologies fitted to the e:HEV L grade include: Blind spot information system, rear cross traffic alert, intelligent speed limiter and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System, which produces an audible alert for pedestrians when vehicle is drive in Electric Drive mode at speeds up to 20 km/h. Honda’s latest HR-V sounds like a fascinating machine that’s crammed full of the latest technology. We will carry out a road test review and bring our findings and thoughts to you shortly afterwards.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Swearing off Apple Many people swear by their Apple devices, specially now that they have incorporated the popular Samsung technology ‘Swype’, although paradoxically, plenty of these same people now also swear at their Apple devices not least because, equally paradoxically, Apple devices do their darndest to stop you swearing while swyping and indeed would probably not allow this very sentence because it contained the disgusting word, ‘darndest’. This is perhaps so that we cannot warn fellow digital travellers of the shortcomings of Apple devices, which are manifold and varied, and censor you texting a mate to say “this phone you recommended is not as good as you said”, when what you really wanted to text was “this phone is bloody awful, specially if you use it as a phone”. “Oh”, he retorted, “I don’t use it as a phone, it’s just another gadget in my camera bag”. Damn. Which I wouldn’t have been able to swype on an Apple device because Apple doesn’t like ‘damn’, highlighting the most astonishing thing about the list of Apple’s naughty words, not only is it astonishingly long but astonishingly broad and, well, lame. Sure you can understand not allowing the ‘F’ word and all its derivatives and variants, though by today’s standards even that’s somewhat anachronistic. Similarly the ‘C’ word probably doesn’t have a place in the preschool yard or nursing home, but then again, why not, as Ricky Gervais would

testify? There are times when those words are perfect - sorry to bring Scott Morrison into an otherwise political-free column – and almost as widely used as one of the most common in Australian idiom, ‘bugger’. Bugger that. Okay, if you have to resort to profanities you have probably lost the argument, but Apple won’t even let you use ‘hell’, or ‘murder’ or even ‘lewd’! It won’t allow real words like bastard and it’s obviously not a phone for dog (or bitch) owners. WTF? Nah, can’t use that either, sorry. But you can use assault rifle, antivax, climate denial, evangelical zeal and other stuff that half America is addicted to. Clearly Apple votes Republican. But all is not lost for frustrated Apple users, there is a method of personalising your Apple dictionary, albeit complex, convoluted and tedious (as opposed to Samsung’s ‘use it once and it’s in’ approach) , so next rainy day (shouldn’t be long) grab a glass of wine and get grubby on your phone, and you’ll be able to use the little bugger uncensored for ever... or until your next update.

Yarrh Wines (Canberra District) Mr Natural Rosé 2021, $30. Mr Natural, Wild fermentation - low sulphur says the label, so you might expect something a little bearded/hipster, but it is so normal and refreshing you don’t even need to tie your hair in a bun to drink it. 9.4/10.

Max Crus is a Clarence Valleybased wine writer and Grape Expectations is now in its 26th year of publication. Find out more about Max or sign up for his weekly reviews and musings by visiting maxcrus.com.au

Hesketh Barossa Valley Regional Selections Negroamaro 2019, $24. This grape sounds so exotic and adventurous, maybe something pirates would drink. But for those who hate dress-up or themed parties with a passion, at only 13.5 per cent you won’t end up talking like a pirate. 9.2/10.

Yarrh Wines (Canberra District) Fiano 2021, $30. You’ll have to put fiano in your phone dictionary manually even though it has become so mainstream now people blink at it less than the ‘c’ word. Somewhat akin to sauv blanc but definitely on the positive side of pinot gris. 9.2/10. Taylors Padthaway Clare Valley Estate Label Chardonnay, 2021, $22. The chardonnay is the wine to be drunk the warmest of Taylors latest ground level whites, which is as sensible as the temperature scale on the back label. 9.1/10. Taylors Adelaide Hills Estate Label Sauvignon Blanc 2021, $22. Apparently we should drink this a bit cooler than its riesling and chardonnay sister, Sister. Sauv blanc is almost a throwback these day to days when you couldn’t say shi*. 9.2/10. Hesketh Mt Gambier Jimi’s Ferment Fumé Blanc 2021, $34. You don’t see Mt Gambier on labels much and with this one, winemaker Jimi got a few tips from some French backpackers about fermenting it like a red wine. Interesting take on sauv and all the better for it. 9.4/10.

Homemade Pasta

You only need 4 ingredients to make delicious fresh pasta at home, and there’s a good chance you have all of them on hand already: All-purpose flour – In the past, I thought you needed 00 flour or semolina flour to make great fresh pasta, but this homemade pasta recipe proved me wrong. In it, regular all-purpose flour yields chewy, bouncy noodles every time. Eggs – The key ingredient for adding richness and moisture to the dough! Olive oil – Along with the eggs, a splash of olive oil moistens the dough and helps it come together. Salt – Add it to the dough and the pasta water for the best flavor.

50 HEALTH

Grafton Midday Rotary is delighted to have provided 6 RoHo Occupational Therapy Cushions for Grafton Base Hospital. President Robert Blanchard made the announcement after the Rotary club’s project leader, Bob Booth, arranged the delivery of the cushions to GBH Director of Nursing & Midwifery, Sharon Wright. Ms Wright said, “The RoHo cushions are used to assist in the prevention of pressure injury in patients who are not easily able to change and alter their own body position. We certainly make very good use of them and thank Grafton Midday Rotary for their continued generosity towards Grafton Base Hospital.” Mr Blanchard said, “The cushions’ all up cost was $4,000. This sort of assistance is made possible through the fundraising efforts of Grafton Midday Rotary at occasions like the Friday Night Raffles, BBQs at Bunnings and other events in the city, our regular book sale and donations made to the Club’s Charity Account. So a big thank you must go to our local community and supporters.” Mr Blanchard also paid tribute to Bob Booth and club member Patty Hewitt for seeking out the need for the RoHo Cushions at the GBH and for their role, along with all club members, in Grafton Midday Rotary’s fundraising activities.

Aries Mar21 21 - Apr ARIES MAR - APR 19 20 Your sensitivity and richness of ideas make you great company, easy to have fun with. The time seems right personal abilities. It will pay off, particularly as stories, impressing a new date, a spontaneous trip or a romantic evening with your lover – your creative responsibilities and bring rationality as well as creativity to the table. This obviously noticed by your colleagues and makes you a well-liked team member. You should utilize this momentum to move projects forward that are important to you. It’s easy to elicit enthusiasm for your ideas from your colleagues and superiors, so go for it!

TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20 This week you’re feeling particularly lucky, especially where your love life is concerned. Passion and harmony dominate and it’s a good time to explore techniques with your partner. There is certainly one long-cherished desire, which you would like to try now. Thanks to your sensitive and considerate approach your lover is willing to listen and probably positively respond to you. You can easily convince others of your point of view. You have creative ideas and prove you’ve got talent, especially when negotiating. Don’t hesitate to show others what you’re capable of and make use of your continuous success. It’s likely you’ll encounter those who will be envious of you. Be aware that there may well be others, who try to take the credit for your success.

GEMINI MAYMay 21 - JUNE Gemini 22 - 20 June 23 You would like to change a lot of things. But you run the risk of making your lover feel confused. You’re sticking to your principles with all your partner you need them, take a walk together or give each other a comforting massage. If you’re single use a more restrained approach, otherwise you could easily appear rather foolish. With such a high level of energy you easily make unfounded accusations and jump to wrong conclusions. Try to calm down and stop being so irritable, it only serves to cause confusion amongst those you work with. If possible, over the next few days, concentrate on tasks where you can work alone. If that’s not possible, refrain from coffee and other stimulants. Stay calm!

Cancer Jun - Jul CANCER JUN 21 -24JULY 22 22 Your love life is full of amazing and wondrous feelings. Your partner is altogether surprised by your imagination and sensitivity. Maybe it’s the case that your lover is a little jealous, because they brings excitement for you, but you should not let this go to your head! You’re open-minded, diplomatic, and charming towards your colleagues. Since these helpful qualities are combined with a considerable measure of industriousness and innovative ideas, you’ll be really successful. Therefore, make suggestions, get involved, and help wherever your energy and your time allows. You’ll be rewarded eventually for your generous cooperation!

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 You’re feeling rather up-tight and angry, not great for your lover or romance. Avoid on-going problems by making it known you’re willing to compromise. Otherwise, things might come to a head far sooner than you would wish. If you’re single, current approach is like a full on assault, rather than a high level of dedication and perseverance. Don’t let the work which has accumulated daunt you. Your problem is not necessarily the workload but the lead you to get lost in unimportant stuff. Before starting to work, you should take a little break, think things through, and plan your next steps.

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 Any extreme resentment won’t do your love life any good. If your relationship is unduly stressed with needless tussles and your attitude alienates your partner. Control yourself a bit more! If you’re single, it’s possible such brusque conduct works quite well - to pick someone up. But nobody will want to stay around you for too long, if you continue to behave like this. You’re really it towards a positive goal. You’ll be surprised how much you achieve. But take care not to get involved in any contentious issues with colleagues. You’re not particularly good with anyone who objects to your this way, you need to practice some self-control.

VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 22

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19

You’re lucky that your uncooperative mood and frustration is accepted by your lover. You can’t rely on this. There is a chance that your partner

You’re perfectly equipped for your current relationship or if single a potential new romance. You’re

situation, instead of reacting in a considerate way. To keep things from escalating, you should try to incorporate tolerance, patience and understanding to get through the tough times ahead. You’re unduly thoughtless and rather competitive. This conduct doesn’t necessarily endear you to your colleagues. When engaging with clients, this attitude also won’t be successful. If you don’t control your rash conduct, people will think of you as uncooperative and not very service oriented. Therefore, stop being so pushy, you’ll only get back what you give out!

LIBRA SEP - OCT 22 23 Libra Sep2323 - Oct The pressure of your circumstances private life. Small misunderstandings seem to infuriate you. You won’t solve your problems by shouting at those you care about most. Refrain from such outbursts and acting in an emotional way. After all, your lover is not necessarily at fault! Level-headedness and self-control can ease the situation. Life is constantly throwing new challenges your way. It seems as if you have to prove yourself again and again. Tasks that lay ahead can’t easily be handled by your normal routine. The extra effort required is tedious and stressful, which is one reason why you’ll feel rather touchy and slightly irritable. Nevertheless, keep a cool head – otherwise you’ll just make things worse.

Scorpio Oct2324- NOV - Nov SCORPIO OCT 21 20 is obvious. If you’re single, you you like are practically dropping at your feet, without you doing a thing! If you’re in a relationship there are only positive

to cope with almost any situation concerning your love life. Your partner sees you’re lots of fun. Remain true to yourself and don’t be arrogant! As easy as it’s for you to impress someone, they can just as easily become tired of you! Because you’re content with your current achievements, right now is a great time to show what else you’re capable responsibilities! If you receive the extra tasks you ask tasks with precision and not in haste.

AQUARIUS janJan 20 - 21 feb-18Feb 19 Aquarius If single you’re up for new romance or if you are in a relationship you’ll be ready for some enjoyable times with your lover. Don’t hesitate to try out things that you’ve always wanted to try! If possible spend a weekend in a nice hotel or if you can’t do that use your imagination - if your relationship is special to you, make some stimulating plans and put them into action. Don’t be too concerned if you seem a little more keyed up than usual, you’re prepared for all eventualities and at last are able to deal with those projects that you’ve been putting off for some considerable time. Make use of your enthusiasm and try to work if you can in a team. Don’t be afraid to be the team leader! You’ve the necessary ‘know-how’ required to do so.

PiscesFEB Feb PISCES 19 -20MAR- Mar 20 21 Power and perseverance are inspiration for your love life. This week it can happen that you and your lover discover new things

hours of love-making, full of intimate moments spent together. Enjoy them, it won’t last forever!

express your feelings towards one another. You should take advantage of this to stir long forgotten feelings! You’ll both feel restored, having a positive effect on other areas in your life too. Each task you undertake quickly becomes a success, offering an opportunity for you to show what you’re capable of.

back with routine tasks, but turn to more demanding projects straightaway. Your work colleagues will appreciate you more because of your competence and self-assurance. If you’re applying for a promotion or a new position, you’ll be able to use this appeal to your advantage.

may be envious. If you want to achieve something now, concentrate on what’s important to you. It’s best that you avoid any uncooperative individuals who are intent on making themselves a nuisance.

COMMUNITY NOTICES 61 information re VIEW Clubs of Australia, ring President Kathie on 0407709629. We are on the lookout for new members who want to give back to years,and make new connections with women in the area. VIEW, which stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women, is a network of close to 300 clubs and over 14,000 women throughout Australia. It provides a place for women to connect in the community, enjoy social activities, and develop lasting friendships – all while supporting the work of children’s education charity, The Smith Family. TWIN TOWNS DAY VIEW Club President Kathie said this year is the perfect time to join VIEW.“The last two years have been so disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us have missed out on seeing friends and family, and our club has been like a second family for us during these times. I’ve heard so many beautiful stories of women checking in on each other, even sending gift packs to those in isolation.” “Many people have also moved away from the city to the country, and coming to a new place can be isolating – especially given the current circumstances. For those who are new to the area, VIEW provides the perfect place to meet like-minded women, while doing something that makes a difference,” she said. VIEW is the largest community sponsor of students on The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, and has supported children and young

people in need for over 60 years. The Smith Family is also celebrating its 100th birthday this year, with VIEW planning plenty of events to bring together women from across Australia. “The Smith Family has been creating better futures for young people for a century, and we are so excited to be a part of that celebration. We will be holding our convention in Adelaide later in the year, and also local parties she said. “We are also proud to contribute to the ongoing legacy of The Smith Family. Our club supports the education of seven students through the Learning for Life program, and each year we ensure that they have what they need for their education, by fundraising with support of the local community. In addition to their ongoing support of The Smith Family TWIN TOWNS DAY VIEW Club hosts social events, including Fashion Parades, theatre parties and home social days and visiting local restaurants.“We are always looking for women of all backgrounds and ages to join us and look forward to welcoming new faces at our next monthly meeting,” Anyone interested in becoming a member can call Freda on 07 55 241 357 or visit www. view.org.au for further information.

GRAFTON SPEEDWAY’S EASTER TRIPLE TREAT

here is going to be no shortage of Easter joy at Hessions Auto Parts Grafton Speedway this Easter Long Weekend, with not one, not two, but three race nights of speedway action in a row. Headlining the three nights of Easter Long Weekend action are going to be the hotly contested V8 Dirt NSW Titles fought out – Friday night for the Sportsman category and Saturday night for the Open category.
