Alex Clark, owner of two businesses was hit with a $17,500 tax bill for Jobkeeper.
JOBKEEPER WARNING FOR SMALL BUSINESS By Samantha Elley A $17,500 BILL from the tax office is not the type of love letter anyone appreciates, but that is what Woodburn and Evans Head businessman Alex Clark received recently. Mr Clark runs the Burntwood Café in Woodburn and Evans to Betsy in Evans Head and his businesses have taken a double hit, firstly from COVID19 and then when the
new bypass was opened. Like many other small business owners, Mr Clark applied for Jobkeeper to be able to keep his staff and run his business during lockdown brought on by COVID19. “To get Jobkeeper you have to show that your business has dropped 30 per cent in takings,” said Mr Clark. Mr Clark was able to show this, but as restrictions eased, he had underestimated what
his takings would be. Mr Clark said the issue was each month when he filled in his Jobkeeper paperwork, he had to predict what he would make each month. “With running the two businesses my takings for three months went over the 30 per cent,” he said. “(The tax office) wanted the money back for the three months, but after that my takings went down below the
margin again.” “When the ATO rang, they told me I had broken the rules,” Mr Clark said. “They told me, if I wanted I could take it to another level and admit I made a mistake and ask for leniency. “I contacted Kevin Hogan’s office who wrote a letter of support and I wrote to the tax office and they gave me leniency.” Mr Clark now doesn’t have
to pay the $17,500 but he wanted other small businesses to be careful when filling in their Jobkeeper paperwork. “The takings for my business in Woodburn plummeted so much from the new highway, but they did not take that into account,” he said. Mr Clark said the tax office had looked at the earnings as one, not the two separate businesses.

POSTHUMOUS HONOUR FOR DARCY MORE than 1000 outstanding Australians have been listed on the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for 2021, including several Northern Rivers residents. The late Darcy Mcfadden, formerly of Goonellabah, was recognised for service to the community of Lismore. Darcy was an amazing man who contributed more than 60 years of voluntary service to his community. He was with the Lismore Apex Club for 14 years and when he was no longer able to be a part of Apex, he joined the Lismore Lions in 1972 and took on various positions, including president, until 2018 when he ‘retired’ at age 89. Darcy helped establish the restaurant at House With No Steps at Alstonville, providing work for people with a disability. He fought to protect the Lions Memorial Fountain outside Lismore City Hall and helped form the Lismore Heights Probus Club. Darcy and his wife Teresa would act as chaperones for the North Coast Children’s Home, taking kids on trips to the beach and other outings. Darcy and Teresa were married for 62 years and have four children. Teresa said Darcy was very highly regarded by his local community and all who knew him. “He has been involved in
service to his community for more than 60 years,” she said. “His children were members of the Lismore 3rd Group Scouts and he was president of Lismore 3rd Group Scouts. “Throughout these 60 years he has worked tirelessly for his community, as a volunteer as well as contributing his many skills to organisations and groups whenever requested. “There are many people who would be able to state that Darcy assisted them to gain employment in the local area, when they were young.” Darcy was born in Coraki and lived at Woodburn with his nine brothers and sisters. “Darcy had a genuine love for people and liked nothing more than to have a chat and get to know people,” Teresa said. “Darcy was a genuine, very modest person with great integrity and the ultimate gentleman. “He never sought accolades for himself.” Other than his love for his family and community, Darcy had a passion for photography. In 1947, at just 16, Darcy obtained a position at The Northern Star newspaper as an apprentice in processing and engraving in the photography department. When it was necessary for some photography to occur and a shortage of staff, Darcy
Other recipients: Emeritus Professor Baden Offord, from Ocean Shores, is now an officer in the Order of Australia for his distinguished service to tertiary education in the field of human rights, social justice, and cultural diversity. Scott Monaghan, from Mylneford, is now a Member of the Order for his significant service to indigenous health, and to medical research. Carol Bonamy, from McLeans Ridges, has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for her service to the community of the Lismore region.

John Lee, from Bilambil Heights, has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for his service to the community through social welfare organisations. John McCaffrey, from Wollongbar, has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for his service to people with disability. Kim Rhodes, from Tenterfield, has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for her service to the community of Tenterfield. Dominic Richards, from Cabarita Beach, has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for his service to architecture, and to the community. Chris Hemsworth, from Byron Bay, has been awarded an Order of Australia medal for his significant service to the performing arts, and to charitable organisations.
working, his hours were from 1pm to 10pm as the photographs had to be prepared and developed for the overnight printing. He would travel all over the Northern Rivers to capture the news, from Ocean Shores to Mclean and west to Bonalbo. He photographed the queen when she visited Lismore in 1954. “He was the unofficial photographer for local police for many years,” Teresa said. Darcy fulfilled the position of unofficial police photographer in the district as there was not a police photographer appointed to this area. This involved some horrific murders, the Cowper and Clybucca bus crashes, many major fires, floods including the devastating major floods of 1954 and 1974 and car
accidents. A police officer arrived in Lismore to establish a scientific department for the police department, however, there was not the necessary photographic area set up. Darcy organised for the police department to utilise the photographic department at the newspaper. At the official opening of the Police Scientific Department, the officiating officer stated that Darcy had proved to him “the need to establish this facility”. He handed in his resignation from the paper when he was 75. However, the editor requested that he continue to work, so Darcy accepted the position to work on special projects, which he did until her was 79. Darcy passed away last year.

Local nurses and midwives strike, demanding a fair go BUCKLING under excessive workloads, nurses and midwives from The Tweed Hospital and Lismore Base Hospital took industrial action last week, walking off the job over the NSW government’s refusal to improve staffing levels. Local NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) members voted in favour of the strike action and called for the government to introduce nurse-to-patient ratios across multiple wards and units. NSWNMA Tweed Hospital Branch Secretary Pam Barrett said the issues were widespread and staff were frustrated the NSW government had failed to acknowledge their concerns. “We are regularly running over capacity across the hospital because of the growing demands of our local community,” Ms Barrett said. “Ambulance ramping and bed block is occurring constantly in the emergency department, while our maternity services are stretched, and our special care nursery is often under increased pressure. “Nurses and midwives
are constantly working excessive overtime and we’re extremely worried about the limited clinical support available to less experienced nursing staff. “Being on the border, we are struggling to recruit and retain staff because

Family devastated when home destroyed in electrical fire By Tonia Dynan AFTER fighting breast cancer twice in the last few years, losing all her belongings in a house fire was not what Byron Bay’s Samantha Cook needed. But unfortunately, that’s what the mother-of-three is now facing after an electrical fire tore through her home last month. On May 24, just before 4pm, a fire started from an electrical socket in Sam’s bedroom and spread through the house. Sam had just ducked down to Woolies with her mum, leaving her teenager and 21-year-old daughter at home. The two girls raced out of the house once they saw the flames and frantically called their mum. “I had just pulled into the car park when the phone rang, so I raced home,” she said.
Luckily no one was hurt, including the family’s dog, cat and goldfish, but the fmaily had to stand on the curb as they watched the fire take everything. “I’m just very thankful that everyone’s safe,” Sam said. “We lost everything and there was nothing we could do. We stood and watched it all burn while we waited for the fire brigade. “It’s only really starting to sink in now, as I’ve been rushing around since it happened. The temporary house is just a shell and I miss everything we had, little things we’d saved up to get. “That’s going to take so much time to rebuild, and you’ve got to just get the time and the money.” Sam was given $424 from Centrelink to help during this tough time, but that’s not going to last long.
21ST CENTURY PLANNING PORTAL LAUNCHES SOON FROM July 1, council across NSW will be accepting and processing all development-related applications and certificates via a new ePlanning portal. The platform was developed by the State Government, and all NSW councils are required to be using the NSW Planning Portal to lodge development applications and complying development certificates by July 1, in line with a 2019 mandate by the premier. The aim of the portal is to streamline
planning processes and provide more equitable access to information for council’s customers, as well as better overall transparency of the planning process. Richmond Valley Council acting general manager Angela Jones said the portal would allow for council’s lodgement processes to be completely digitalised, which would improve application processing times. Ms Jones said the days of needing to fill in piles of paperwork and visiting a council building would soon be a thing of the past.
Although the fire department warned not to overload power points when talking to the media about the house fire, Sam is adamant there was only one extension cord plugged into the wall in her bedroom. Sam said she was proud of her kids and how they were handling the situation.
“They’ve got their own stuff going on but they’re handling it really well,” she said. “They’ve watched their mum go through cancer, there’s nothing worse than that, so they’re pretty tough.” Daughter Jasmin Valentine started a GoFundMe to help her mum and siblings get back on their feet.
“My family lost everything besides the clothes on their back due to a house fire,” Jasmin said. The house was rented through North Coast Community Housing, who have found temporary accommodation for Sam and her family, but Sam didn’t have any insurance. Sam has been a part of the Byron community for more than 20 years, working at the RSL and running a tie dye stall at the markets. The GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $5000, and Sam has already used some of the funds to purchase a washing machine and a few winter essentials to keep the family warm.

Local vaccinations jump to more than 98,000 THE number of people receiving COVID-19 vaccinations continues to rise as more clinics administering the jabs open on the North Coast. Health authorities said more than 98,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been given across the North Coast as of last Friday.. This was an increase of around 22,500 in the past fortnight in the Healthy North Coast footprint, which covers from Tweed Heads to Port Macquarie. The previous fortnightly jump was more than 18,000, showing the vaccine effort was gathering pace. Over the same period, weekly supply of the AstraZeneca vaccine to general practices has increased significantly to 26,400. The number of vaccine doses available at Commonwealth Vaccination Clinics has been boosted and NSW Health has established vaccination centres at
local hospitals, as well as a number of pop-up clinics. Healthy North Coast chief executive Julie Sturgess said the latest figures showed people were embracing the need to vaccinate against COVID-19. “There are now more and more options to get vaccinated,” Ms Sturgess said. “I encourage our communities to take the opportunity to safeguard themselves and others against COVID-19 by getting the jab.” About 80% of North Coast residential aged care facilities have finished resident vaccinations, with the remainder expected to be completed by the end of this month. This week the Australian Government revised its vaccine rollout plans, making the following people eligible for vaccination: • all adults aged 40 to 49; • Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Councillors vote on ‘unreasonable conduct’ By Tonia Dynan AGGRESSIVE and unreasonable customers became the focus of Lismore City Council’s meeting last week when council voted on a draft Unreasonable Conduct Policy. Currently, council does not have an Unreasonable Conduct Policy and the draft policy is aimed at assisting staff to manage customer relationships and complaint processes. The draft Unreasonable Conduct Policy and Procedure was previously considered by council in February last year, but has now been amended to include a provision for reporting to councillors any actions taken under the policy every six months or as
required via City Notes or in a confidential briefing. Cr Elly Bird said the draft policy fell by the wayside in the subsequent pandemic. “It’s important that we recognise that this is really not about your average complainant or your average community member seeking to engage with council,” she said. “It really is about unreasonable conduct and it outlines there in the definition, that it’s about aggressive, verbally abusive behavior, threats of violence, unnecessary and excessive phone calls and emails, inappropriate demands, and refusal to accept decisions and recommendations. “The policy is about giving staff a framework to
Cr Elly Bird
negotiate or to interact with individuals that do display unreasonable conduct. And I think it’s important that we have a policy of this nature because it protects our staff,
it protects our organisation, it protects those people who are on the frontline dealing with the community and dealing with some members of our community who can display
these types of behaviors.” Cr Eddie Lloyd proposed including an advisory group to manage any unreasonable conduct incidents, comprising of council’s general manager, people and safety manager and two community members, which was approved. “I do hear you talk a lot about protecting staff and protecting councils, but I’m not hearing about protecting the community,” Cr Lloyd said. “In any good policy, you must also have provisions in there that protect community from abuse of any policies.” The amended policy will be placed on public exhibition for 28 days and returned to the July council meeting for consideration prior to adoption.
$82.8 MILLION BUDGET BOOST FOR PALLIATIVE CARE PALLIATIVE care services across the state will receive a further $82.8 million over the next four years, to improve support for people with a life-limiting or terminal illness. Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the 2021-22 Budget funding boost is on top of more than $220 million that the NSW Government invests each year in palliative care services and support. “We know in Australia only a small proportion of people die suddenly. Most people experience a prolonged period of disability, frailty and illness,” Mr Perrottet said. “This funding will help thousands of families across the state, particularly in regional NSW and Western Sydney, to provide dignity to people at the end of life’s journey.”
As part of this investment, Western Sydney Local Health District will receive funding to enhance its hospital-based palliative care services with additional
inpatient beds. Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the $82.8 million funding would provide: • a workforce boost of up to
120 full time equivalent staff including additional nurses, allied health and medical staff; • multidisciplinary care to maintain patient wellbeing
and independence at home; • additional consumer information and support for patients, families and carers “On top of workforce boosts, increased end-oflife support packages and enhanced bereavement services, additional virtual care services will ensure regional patients get the support they need from the comfort of their home,” Mr Hazzard said. “The additional funding will also support dedicated inpatient beds at cancer hospital and cancer treatment centre Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.” The funding includes $2 million (recurrent) for Manly Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice, Australia’s first dedicated hospice for young people due to open in July 2022.

Now we can.” Global has taken the next step by getting on board with The Tyre Factory late last year. “The Tyre Factory is a buying group that gives Global the biggest brands in Australia at prices they wouldn’t be able to achieve,” said Bill Leane, General Manager of The Tyre Factory Group. “This allows Global to pass on the savings to customers and ultimately be extremely competitive with the big corporates. “It’s about buying power and marketing, we run a strong digital marketing campaign and Global has all of those advantages

BALLINA RIVER STREET DUPLICATION STAGE 1 PARTIAL CLOSURE OF SUNSET AVE IN PHASES 4 AND 5
AS part of the River Street Duplication works, the intersection of Sunset Avenue and River Street will be partially closed during Phase 4 and 5 of the project. As part of Phase 4 works, the left hand turn from River Street into Sunset Avenue will be closed from Thursday 10 June for approximately four weeks. During Phase 4 the following changes will be in place: • Inbound left turn from River Street into Sunset Avenue closed, please detour via Barlows Road or Horizon Drive; • Access to the Toyota and Wholesale car yards will be via Barlows Road or
Horizon Drive; • The median strip at Sunset Ave will be permanently removed to allow easier access for larger vehicles including buses in and out of Sunset Avenue. A new pedestrian refuge will be installed on Sunset Avenue towards the end of the project; • The bus stop temporarily relocated during Phase 3 will be reinstated to its original location adjacent to Hibiscus Gardens Caravan Park. As the crew moves into Phase 5 of the project, the outbound left turn from Sunset Avenue to River Street will close, and the inbound turn from River
Street will reopen. Access at the Sunset Avenue and River Street intersection will return to normal once Phase 5 of the project is completed. Council thanks residents for their patience as these works are completed. To learn more about the project and to register for emailed project updates please visit ballina.nsw.gov. au/RiverStreetDuplication To support a growing community and address road congestion, Ballina Shire Council will deliver dual-lane access along River Street between the Pacific Highway, West Ballina and Kerr Street, Ballina.
River Street carries the largest volume of traffic in and out of Ballina and is at capacity during peak hours. Traffic flow recorded for 2019 was 26,100 vehicles per day and traffic modelling predicts traffic flow in 2036 will be 29,500 vehicles per day. Two-lane arterial roads have the capacity for around 18,000 vehicles per day whereas a four-lane road can cater for 36,000 vehicles per day. Once complete, the fourlane road from West Ballina into Ballina Island will double the road’s capacity and comfortably cater for traffic into the future. This project is estimated to cost $27.5 million and will be a
significant investment to help improve our road network. During 2019/20, Ballina Shire Council prepared concept plans and conducted public consultation. Council has now adopted a staged program of works to deliver this significant road network investment across four stages.

NEW PUSH FOR COMMUNITY-LED GOVERNMENT IN BYRON A GROUP of five community independents, led by community lawyer Mark Swivel of Barefoot Law, will be running in the upcoming Byron Shire Council elections in September this year. The Mark Swivel Team (MST) aims to get at least two councillors elected, with one as mayor, to implement a balanced and inclusive community-led government in the shire on a platform of: competence, community and collaboration. “We want a Byron Shire that includes everyone, creating a future we all want,” explains mayor aspirant Mark Swivel. “One that offers homes for more of us, that allows our children to stay, that keeps our community interesting and welcomes visitors, with good development, resting gently on the earth. We must invest resources and energy to reinvigorate our land, prepare for climate challenges, grow more food here, provide jobs and support our dynamic
businesses.” Joining Mark Swivel on his ticket are Dr Meredith Wray, a sustainable tourism expert and long-term local, Evan Anderson and Venetia Scott who are both smallscale farmers committed to building the local food movement and small-scale farming in the Northern Rivers and Xavier HanckelSpice a young lawyer helping to defend the most vulnerable in the community. Key issues of priority for the MST include equitable housing, sustainable tourism, small scale farming, repairing our beaches, protecting fragile habitats, regenerative agriculture, and motivating our council staff to better serve our community. “My colleagues and I embody the energy of the Shire and the real world. We work in law, tourism, farming and business. We bring the real skills we need to revitalise our local politics,” Mark Swivel said. “We need to broaden our conversations, to bring our diverse
community into council.” Second on the MST ticket, Dr Meredith Wray, has been motivated to run because she’s passionate about improving visitor management in the Byron Shire. “I’m a tourism specialist, I understand how places change and how they grow. More and more visitors are coming and we run the risk of
being loved to death. So what we really need is a plan to manage tourism sustainably. I’ve been frustrated that we haven’t looked through a tourism lens across the whole of Council,” Dr Wray said. Both Meredith and Mark, and all of the MST, are committed to ‘bringing people into the conversation’ listening to everyone’s ideas and collaborating with people
to make things better, so it’s not ‘council versus the people’ but working with people. “When competence and enthusiasm combine, good things can get done and that’s what I want to be part of,” Meredith Wray said. Taking up the listening theme, the Mark Swivel Team will be holding a series of consultations around kitchen tables and barbecues, with ‘town hall’ gatherings and appearances at community events - chambers of commerce, sports clubs and - from now until the September elections. More details on how to join these conversations and contribute can be found on MST’s Facebook and website. “We are excited to launch the Mark Swivel Team’s push for council. We want to bring a fresh approach and real professionalism to the table. We intend to be visible, approachable, and flexible. We are open to what the campaign brings us, as we engage with the community,” Mark Swivel said.

Vaccine clinic performing “beyond wildest dreams” By Tonia Dynan
TO encourage more people to get vaccinated, Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan had his first AstraZeneca shot at the Lismore Square clinic last week. “I think it’s really important that we do this as quickly as we can,” he said. “With hand hygiene, social distancing with everything else we’re doing, we are keeping ourselves safe as a country and obviously getting back live to normal as quickly as we can, but the vaccination process is important. “If you’re hesitant certainly go and have a chat to your doctor. I want you to feel okay about having a vaccine, but I feel very comfortable about this vaccine. “I’m very confident to have this and for the majority of people, this isn’t going to be an issue, but if you have concerns, please speak to your doctor.” More pop-up clinics like the one in Lismore Square will be
opening in Grafton and Tweed shopping centres in the next few weeks. “Now every aged care facility in this region have had at least their first shot, so most residents have had their second one now as well, so that’s a priority,” he said. “I encourage everyone in the health profession or anyone in any profession around the country, the vaccinations are getting easier to get numbers have ramped up, we’re over 5 million Australian now being vaccinated we’re doing over
exceptional. “There’s virtually no waiting with this one, but people need to register.” Mr Jones said he did anticipate wait times to grow as the restrictions for access to vaccines in the country became less, more people would come forward, but the health service was ramping up supplies to counteract any waiting times. Mr Jones said both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca clinics at Lismore Base Hospital were 100,000 a day.” going well and meeting their NSW Local Health District vaccination targets. chief executive Wayne Jones “There is a degree of said the clinic at the square had hesitancy in the community, exceeded all expectations. you can’t ignore that point of “It’s working beyond our view,” he said. wildest dreams to be really “Our staff are part of the honest,” he said. community, and there is a “This clinic is proving to be degree of hesitancy. a model that is really receptive “The more we inform them, to the community, particularly the more we show them - the the older community who elephant in the room here come for shopping and have is the blood clots related to access to here anyway - there’s AstraZeneca - what we can do parking, there’s a whole range now in real life experience, is of other things that they come we’ve seen with the science, and do and the uptake has been the medical fraternity, the
nursing fraternity, they all know how to diagnose it, they know how to treat it, and they know how to cure it. “The vast majority of people who have had blood clots identified through AstraZeneca Australia are now fine.” Mr Jones said there wasn’t any disputing getting staff to fill the workforce across the country in this current climate was a challenge. “At the end of the day, the general business as usual of health continues, so we need to make sure our emergency services, our wards, our operating theatres are all manned, and we also need to have resources at stand-up vaccination clinics. “And as the criteria lessens and we get more people registering for vaccines, we need more vaccination clinics, so there’s no disputing that it’s a challenge, and I commend the people who are organising this. “At this point, we’re leading the demand.”
NSW spearheads key Covid-19 vaccine research A LEADING group of NSW experts will pioneer Australiafirst research to inform vaccine policy in the state and beyond. The Vaccine, Infection and Immunology (VIIM) Collaborative Research Group will receive more than $4.5 million in funding from the NSW Government over three years to study the clinical and immunological responses to COVID-19 vaccines in NSW recipients. VIIM brings together the leading vaccine, infection and immunology researchers and practitioners in NSW. It incorporates expertise from two universities, four medical research institutes, the statewide pathology service, adult
and paediatric health services, and the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance. NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant (pictured) said the program will boost our knowledge of COVID- 19 vaccines, including their efficacy on variant strains of the virus in future years. “With the vaccination rollout now well underway, this surveillance and realworld research will continue to arm us with timely and robust data to ensure the very best outcomes for the people of NSW, and help us navigate the path ahead,” Dr Chant said. “It places us in a strong position and will inform
a vaccine policy that can respond to emerging issues and opportunities, and the future development and trialling of next generation vaccines. “We’re continuing to learn throughout this pandemic and this research will allow us to advise on immunisation schedules, including the potential need for any booster vaccinations for vulnerable groups and the broader community.” Dr Chant said NSW is in a unique position to add to the global body of knowledge on vaccines and immunity since the majority of our population has not been exposed to COVID-19, unlike many other countries.
“This research will also establish an invaluable biobank of specimens which will be crucial to current and future research to keep the people of NSW healthy and protected from infectious disease,” Dr Chant said. The VIIM experts in vaccines, infections and
immunity hail from Western Sydney Local Health District, Sydney Local Health District, Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, NSW Health Pathology, the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance, the University of Sydney’s Marie Bashir Institute, the University of NSW, Westmead Institute of Medical Research, the Centenary Institute and the Kirby Institute. The grant is part of the State’s previously announced $25 million COVID-19 priority research fund.

Spike in reports of sexual assault DEDICATED police and frontline support services are ready and willing to take your call: that’s the message from the NSW Government today as new statistics are released showing a recent spike in sexual assault reports. Attorney General and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence Mark Speakman acknowledged the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) brief issued today that reported a 61 per cent increase in sexual assault incidents reported to NSW Police in March 2021, compared with the monthly average over the previous year. “I commend the extraordinary courage of all of the victim-survivors who’ve recently contacted police to report sexual assaults,” Mr Speakman said. “While this spike comes off the back of intense media coverage and long overdue public discussion of sexual violence in our communities, it also demonstrates what we already knew, that these crimes are significantly underreported each day. “Our message to victim-survivors is please know that you are not alone, and that help is available, whether that’s contacting the police or another support or counselling service.” Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott said the NSW Police Force take reports of sexual violence very seriously. “Although these figures are distressing, it is encouraging that there is an increased willingness to report sexual assaults and that is a testament to the strength of all victims who come forward, and to police for ensuring that victims know they will be supported and believed when they do,” Mr Elliott said. State Crime Commander, Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith, said police are committed to preventing sexual assaults and supporting victims who come forward.
“It takes incredible courage to re-live trauma and come forward as a victim of sexual violence,” Assistant Commissioner Smith said. “Since the launch of Operation Vest in March this year, there was a significant increase in the number of people in the community who came forward to report sexual violence. “The courage and bravery displayed by those individuals has already led to significant law reform, with consent laws being strengthened and simplified across the state. “NSW Police will always thoroughly investigate reports of sexual violence and it is important that as a community, we continue these conversations and keep encouraging people to come forward.” If you or someone you know are in immediate danger, contact Triple Zero (000). More information on how to report sexual offences to the NSW Police is available on their website, including the Sexual Assault Reporting Option (SARO). The SARO is an online form that people can complete if they have decided not to make a formal report to police or have their matter investigated. This makes a record of what has occurred, while allowing the police to gather information on sexual offences and offending. A number of other support services are also available to provide help: • 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) is a 24/7 national sexual assault, domestic and family violence counselling service. • NSW Rape Crisis (1800 424 017) is a 24/7 phone counselling service for anyone who is experiencing, or has experienced sexual violence, and their supporters. • Kids Helpline (1800 551 800) is a 24/7 national phone counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25.
NEW KIDS HELPLINE DATA REVEALS SPIKE IN CHILD ABUSE KIDS Helpline has announced that duty of care interventions to protect children and young people were 99% higher nationally from 1st December 2020 – 31st May 2021 compared to the same period a year ago. The escalation over the past six months across Australia is largely related to: suicide attempts (38%) and child abuse (35%). “We feared an increase in child vulnerability as a result of the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns, however the current spike in emergency interventions on behalf of children and young people in New South Wales is very disturbing. “New South Wales has had an increase of 40% in duty of care interventions enacted by Kids Helpline on behalf of children and young
people for the period 1 December 2020 – 31 May 2021 vs the same period a year ago. “It is very clear that the pandemic is taking a toll on the lives of children and young people, however, thankfully by young people seeking help Kids Helpline has supported 862 suicide prevention interventions nationally in the past six months,” CEO Tracey Adams said. We know that prevention and early intervention can reduce the impact of mental health issues, so now more than ever we encourage children and young people who want to talk to someone about any issue of concern to them, to contact Kids Helpline on 1800 551 800, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or use email or web counselling services. www.kidshelpline.com.au

than 20kms apart? Isn’t that putting all their “water-resource” eggs in one basket when weather patterns are currently so fickle? Those recommending the construction of a new Dunoon dam should extend their research by visiting the current Rocky Creek Dam, view the spillway and check the amount of water in Rocky Creek below; and also observe it at the low roadcrossing into the National Park on Gibbergunyah Range Road. Rocky Creek is definitely a creek, not a river. The proposed new Dunoon dam is to be situated on Rocky Creek. Water-flow in Rocky Creek is dependent on cascading water over the spillway of the present Rocky Creek Dam. That occurs during cyclonic weather, because general rainfall does not fill the dam. i.e. not full – no overflow. A new Dunoon dam just a short distance downstream from the current Rocky Creek Dam would soon be titled “Lake Will it Fill” and come at huge financial and environmental cost. Since the exceptionally severe drought of 2019 broke, Rocky Creek has not received the rainfalls predicted by BOM. Mullumbimby and the Dunoon side of the Nightcap Range were recognised as receiving the highest rainfall in this district for decades, but not currently. Since the beginning of 2020 higher rainfalls have drenched the Tweed and then around Kyogle often

Gone to the dogs I write with respect to last week’s NRT article describing Ballina Shire Council’s review of the Shire Companion Animal Act Management Plan. BSC, while portraying this document to be a review, has done little to alter it other than ‘housekeeping’ (Council quote) and as such, it is a recycle. Council has stated that the number of dog attacks recorded has been fairly constant over the years. Unfortunately, this is true. The number of attacks recorded over the years in this Shire consistently averages three times the State average for all shires. BSC happily admits that it has dispensed more cautions than fines in the last two quarters. Byron Council dispensed no cautions at all in the same period and the number of recorded dog attacks in that Shire is about State average or less. I asked the mayor to draw a conclusion from this data during public question time. All I received was a meandering dissertation about how pleased he was with the fine job the rangers are doing and how there were more dogs
on the beach at Lennox Head than children. His response was a non sequitur and like the so-called Management Plan review, of little use. My suggestion to Council is that they abandon the plan entirely. They will be less accountable with no plan than having a plan which is demonstrably failing . Supposedly, this plan is going to be in effect for the next four years. During this time, Skennars Head population will increase by over 120% given current and recently approved developments- an increase of around 400 dwellings. Council intends to ‘rubber stamp’ this recycled document with no provision for the future relative to the corresponding exponential increase of dog ownership in the area. BSC will do this because it is likely (hoping) that there will be insufficient submissions that will be critical of the plan or they will pay no heed to those that are. In short, I would ask that Council stops pretending that this review is anything other than ‘lip service’. Our community expects truth, not subterfuge. Stephen McIllhatton Skennars Head
Loved the sarcasm In reference to G MacDonald, (letters 10/6), I thought the letter by Keith Duncan (letters 3/6) was very much to the point and indeed quite humorous, (loved the
sarcasm) and after reading that offensive reply from yourself it looks like Mr Duncan again hit the rightist nerve. The climate denying minority are gluttons for punishment, whenever they’re absurd conspiracy theories are ridiculed, they immediately become aggressive and attack the messenger. They trot out the usual old worn-out rhetoric, about showing them “empirical evidence”; well, it’s all around them, they need to be careful they don’t trip over it. It doesn’t seem to matter how much proof science puts in front of them, they just dismiss it; are they so incapable of understanding it? But maybe it’s just time to ignore the naysayers, they’re only minority background noise anyhow, and quickly decreasing in volume, the world is now certainly moving towards a zero-carbon emissions future, not because it’s some modern trendy fad, it’s because world leaders know they have to. Even Mr MacDonald’s hero, “missing in action” Morrison is being dragged kicking and screaming towards a net-zero emissions target by 2050, because he is at least smart enough to know that he has to. And now that that psychopath Trump has been fumigated out of infesting the White House, world action to deal with the climate emergency will only improve, let’s all hope. Steven Maguiness Wardell

OPINION 13
LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION Heartless Dutton Peter Dutton, top jailer of poor, refugees and kids, now a very sick one, has spent $50 million of your hard earned to try and report a family who was living at Biloela, Queensland and now jailed at a detention centre why? John Howard and Phil Ruddock were guilty of being head jailers of anyone that came here on a leaky boat seeking refuge. Those people were fleeing their countries who were ruled by madmen (remind you of anyone?), who liked killing and persecuting people. Talk about persecuting people, shame on Scomo and the rest of them sitting on their big fat backsides pretending to be representing us all. Have mercy on your heart, Dutton. Paul Brecht Evans Head
Thanks NRT team I recently had the pleasure of meeting the two owners of the Northern Rivers Times, how nice it was to speak to them and how much they love the newspaper they are printing for the people of the Northern Rivers. It was interesting to speak to both Sharon and Jeff and find out a bit of background on these two amazing people and what they have created from not only a dream but the sheer determination of the bringing the Northern Rivers and beyond a newspaper of this
standard. The fact they started this all during COVID and are now employing 24+ people in all areas of the Northern Rivers. The passion they have for the newspaper is remarkable, the love of their staff and the praise they have for them is something you don’t find from any bosses these days. A lot of people probably think they are doing this for the money but after speaking to them, they put it all back into the paper each week and expand on the quality and staff amenities. Truly local hero’s as they (and their staff) work countless hours each week so we as a community not only know what is happening in our region but also can have our say. They have ‘never’ had a government, handout loan, GoFundMe or grant and only used their own money and sheer determination to succeed and give the community the best. You would think a newspaper of this quality and quantity would be published by the big boys (Murdoch or Fairfax) but no, a very humble couple that love their community. Thank you Sharon, Jeff and staff (and Bella) for giving us a newspaper that we are proud to call our own. I am very proud to have met you both and think that you will go down in history for what you have both done in our communities and the Northern Rivers. You are amazing
people and thank you. PS Congratulations on your new second office in Tweed Heads. Roger Ash Goonellabah
Right is Right In response to G MacDonald, (NRT 10/6)’Right is right’. Okay, so lets say there’s a chance the science might be wrong with regards to human induced climate change post the industrial revolution. If it is, and we have taken every precaution to avoid catastrophe for future generations, what has been lost? And what will be lost if the science is right and we take no action? I guess for you, G Macdonald of Pimlico, in answer to the former question, you may have had to pay higher prices for electricity due to a tax on carbon. To every other life form that stands to inherit what is left after we have gone, In answer to the latter question, is a highly unstable, unaffordable, uninsurable and inequable society punctuated by frequent climate disasters such a fire and flood. But hey, as long as folk like you don’t have to pay more on your bills, who cares G MacDonald of Pimlico? The first tactic of those like yourself is to create divisions between left and right. Yet there is really only truly one division, those who care for the future and those that don’t.
One man who definitely does is Sir David Attenborough who has been witness to the impacts of human induced climate change on the natural world for over eighty years now. Neither a leftist or rightist, just someone who cares deeply for this planet and the beings which depend on it. Re your quest for empirical evidence of climate change effect in the Ballina Shire over the last 10 years I would venture he is not only better travelled than yourself but perhaps is more qualified to observe things from a somewhat broader perspective than his own backyard.

Dam Update Submissions on Rous County Council’s revised Integrated Water Cycle Management (IWCM) Plan closed on 28th May. Unlike the old plan, which was rejected by Rous councillors in
December 2020, the new plan did not prioritise the Dunoon Dam. However, the dam is still listed as an option so it is not completely dead yet. Thank you to everyone who put in submissions opposed to the dam and in favour of the many alternative options for water supply. Over 1000 submission forms in support of Rous’ new nodam plan were handed over to Rous on the day before the closing date. We don’t know how many other submissions were completed online on the Rous website or were emailed in directly but we know that many well-researched and informed submissions were made in favour of Rous’ new water plan. Feedback from submissions received will be collated and reported to Council in July 2021. Copies of these submissions will be made available on Council’s website at this time. On 16th July, Rous will decide whether to
proceed with the new IWCM Plan. Many people from WATER Northern Rivers put in a huge effort to alert our community to the need to put in a submission again. Many of the submissions listed the Widjabul Wia-bal heritage as their main reason for opposing the dam. Rous now appears to be committed to the no-dam pathway and is proceeding with planning and implementation of the alternatives. However, we cannot be complacent. The local government elections on 4th September could change everything. If enough pro-dam councillors are elected in Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay and Richmond Valley then they would elect pro-dam reps for Rous County Council. We could be back to square one.

NEW REPORT INTO COUNCIL’S LOCAL SPEND
Council is improving its reporting process to highlight the amount of goods and services being procured from local businesses. Council’s Procurement Policy already requires local suppliers to be considered for all purchases above $50,000, and staff are encouraged to request quotations from local businesses for lower value purchases. However, this information is not publically reported. At its meeting on Thursday 20 May 2021, Council unanimously resolved to report the percentage of goods and services procured from local businesses each quarter. Mayor of Tweed Shire
Chris Cherry submitted the motion at the meeting. “Council already gives preference to local providers in our procurement process - to support the local economy and minimise environmental impacts,” Cr Cherry said. “Council is a significant economic driver for the economy in the Tweed - and neighbouring shires - and takes this responsibility very seriously. A new regular performance report will ensure people can easily see exactly how much we’re spending with local businesses and what percentage of our total spend that is. Let’s do everything we can to support local suppliers

SITE ANNOUNCED FOR NEW CASINO AMBULANCE STATION The Casino community will soon benefit from a new ambulance station, as part of the NSW Government’s $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) program, with the site announced today. Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the new state-of-the-art facility will be built on the Casino Health Campus on Canterbury Street, which provided the best location, and will be completed next year. “The NSW Government is committed to delivering its record investment in rural and regional health infrastructure to support better health outcomes for local communities,” Mr Hazzard said. “Our local paramedics need the best possible workplace to provide emergency medical care, and this new station will make a real difference to their working environment.” Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis welcomed the site announcement and revealed the first look at the design for the new ambulance station. “This is a significant investment in health services for our local community and will upgrade and replace a 90-year-old facility,” Mr Gulaptis said. “Our paramedics are vital to the Casino community, and today’s

announcement will better equip these essential workers to meet current and future demand for emergency care in our region.” The new purposebuilt station will feature: Internal parking for up to six emergency ambulance vehicles; Administration and office areas; Relief accommodation; Logistics and storage areas; Internal wash bay; and Staff parking. Next steps include further due diligence, design development and seeking planning approval for the new station.

which maps Triple Zero calls. The RAIR program is the single largest investment in regional NSW Ambulance’s 126-year history, with 24 new or upgraded ambulance stations already delivered or under construction as part of the $132 million Stage 1. Another $100 million worth of ambulance assets are being delivered under Stage 2 of the program. In 2020-21, the NSW Government is investing more than $1 billion in services and capital works for NSW Ambulance. This includes $27 million funding for 180 new NSW Ambulance staff across NSW, the third tranche of the June 2018 commitment to recruit 750 additional paramedic and control centre staff over four years.

COUNCIL SURVEY UNDERWAY TO
FIND OUT WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO RESIDENTS
RICHMOND Valley residents are being asked to share their views on their Council’s future direction, with a community survey currently taking place across the region. The telephone survey, conducted by independent researchers Micromex, has been designed to provide important insight into the local community’s priorities and satisfaction levels when it comes to Council activities, its service delivery, available facilities, and future planning. Council’s Acting General Manager Angela Jones said the information would be used to guide Council’s decision making over the next 10 years and would ensure priorities were set according to the community’s needs.
Ms Jones said all feedback was critical to Council’s work and would help address the concerns or challenges identified by the community. She said the phone survey, which started on Tuesday, would continue through to the end of the month. “While positive changes have been made to Council’s programs since the last survey in 2016, there is always room for improvement,” Ms Jones said. “I would like to encourage all residents from the Richmond Valley to assist Council with this important survey, which will help us obtain and compile information about our service levels, programs and policies, as well as community expectations.”
Ms Jones said the survey involved contacting a sample of 400 people by phone, with representation across the entire region, and across all age brackets from 18 years and over. She said survey questions covered topics such as: housing; transport; infrastructure services; tourism; arts and cultural activities; as well as Council leadership. “The survey is not a lengthy one, although it does cover a wide range of topics, which will help Council establish policies and programs going forward,” Ms Jones said. “If you are a person with a connection to the Richmond Valley local government area, we would love to hear your thoughts.” Those residents wishing to contribute to the process but were not contacted during the survey period can call Council on 6660 0300 to request a hard copy of the survey.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW SET TO CRACK DOWN ON COUNCILLOR BAD BEHAVIOUR The NSW Government has commissioned a review of the statutory framework for cracking down on badly behaved councillors to ensure it continues to allow quick and effective action to be taken for misconduct. Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said the independent review would examine if penalties for councillors breaching the code of conduct remain sufficient, and ways to reduce the time and cost of complaints handling. “Residents rightly expect high standards of behaviour from their elected representatives and the NSW Government has zero tolerance for councillors who put petty politics and egos ahead of serving the local community,” Mrs Hancock said. “The Model Code of Conduct sets strict standards of behaviour for the 1,300 councillors at the state’s 128 councils to help ensure the ethical, accountable and transparent

operation of local government. “While the majority of councillors do the right thing, the NSW Government is determined to ensure those elected representatives who breach community standards face the consequences.” The review will examine the effectiveness of penalties available to councils, the Office of Local Government and the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Mrs Hancock said it will also look at the processes for making code of conduct complaints, the timeliness of disciplinary action, and misconduct frameworks implemented in other jurisdictions. “The review will make recommendations for any legislative, policy and operational changes required to ensure NSW has the strongest system in the country to target bad behaviour and enforce high standards of conduct in our local
councils,” Mrs Hancock said. “The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that councils and the Office of Local Government are well placed to take quick and effective action against councillors who engage in misconduct so the public can have confidence in the people they elect to represent them.” Gary Kellar PSM has been appointed to carry out the review following his recent involvement in an expert panel examining of the local government misconduct framework in Queensland in 2017. A local government specialist, Mr Kellar was the general manager of Logan City Council for 26 years.

Scones and tea to come a little easier for Grafton CWA By Tim Howard A NICE batch of scones and a cup of tea is a signature refreshment for one of Australia’s longest lived community groups, the Country Women’s Association, but not for the Grafton branch. All that will change for the 27 women who make up the Grafton branch and the South Grafton Evening branch and who have used the rooms on the corner of Duke and Pound streets for the past 70 years. Following a Federal Government grant of $16,265, plus money the branch has saved for the project, the kitchen in the Grafton CWA rooms is set for a revamp. The branch has set a target of a November opening for their new kitchen, which would coincide with the Jacaranda Festival. For decades catering for anything, even as humble as a morning tea, became a major campaign. “The kitchen was just not up to it,” said branch president Carol Smith. “If you had the urn on and the oven at the same time, it overloaded the system.” She said this meant members

She said the local branch rose to the occasion during the 2019-20 bushfires, providing much needed refreshments for fire fighters battling to save lives and properties during the emergency.
She said the CWA rooms were a hub for several other community organisations, which meant they were in use at least six days a week. Club treasurer Annette Douglas said the kitchen’s shortcomings were best exemplified by one of the kitchen’s light fittings. “It’s historic and it will have to stay, untouched for the renovations,” she said. “But it’s never worked.

NSW WILDLIFE COUNCIL DOUBLES GRANTS FOR WILDLIFE CARERS THE NSW Wildlife Council (NWC), the peak body for wildlife rehabilitation in NSW, has doubled the 2021-2022 grants budget to $40K for wildlife carers who play a vital role in the survival of native fauna. The NWC aims to achieve optimal outcomes for native fauna, representing 26 licensed wildlife groups and more than 3,000 wildlife carers in the state. The Rehabilitator Enclosure and Equipment Grants program acknowledges the pivotal role played not only by wildlife rehabilitators, but also by their groups. The 2020 grants assisted a number of rehabilitation projects involving wildlife from joeys, wombats, flying foxes and raptors to marine reptiles, whales, dolphins and more! In announcing the 2021/22 wildlife rehabilitator grants program, Audrey Koosmen, NSW Wildlife Council Chair, said, “a few benefits that have come from the bushfires and cost savings from COVID lock down are that the Council has been able to double its budget for 2021 -2022 grants for wildlife rehabilitators to $40,000.” Grant applications for equipment and enclosure projects ranging from
$500 to $2,500 will be accepted between 18 June 2021 and 31 July 2021. Mrs Koosmen added that generous public donations during the 2019/20 bushfires and other cost savings has enabled the Council to put additional funding into helping wildlife rescuers and carers with equipment and enclosures they need in their volunteering with native wildlife. “It is a real privilege to be able to provide help to these volunteers in their often 365-day-a-week volunteering for injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife. The public gave generously to our members’ work with wildlife and this additional funding will go where the donating public expect it to go – to directly benefit native animals that need our help,” she said. Wildlife Council member groups cover the whole of NSW with 3,000 volunteers trained to look after wildlife that needs help. The NWC encourages eligible authorised wildlife rehabilitators and licenced rehabilitation groups to apply. For more information see: www. nwc.org.au/wildlife-rehabilitatiorenclosure-equipment-grantsprogram-for-2021-2022/ All grant enquiries to grants@ nwc.org.au
not connected to the electricity and there’s not even a switch for it.” The branch thanked Page MP Kevin Hogan, who announced the funding for the work last Thursday, and also Clarence Valley Council, which owns the building. “Kevin’s staff and the council were very helpful providing information about the grants coming up and helping apply for them,” Mrs
Douglas said. “They let us know about grants and showed us which one we had the best chance of getting.” The branch has gone local for the build too, contracting local company B&S Kitchens to do the job. Mr Hogan said it was about time the work was done. “These CWA rooms are used by many other groups in the community and is well deserving of an upgrade,” he said. “Grafton CWA and South Grafton Evening Branch cooked biscuits and slices for our firefighters during the recent bushfires, but needed to use peoples homes as the kitchen was deemed unsuitable. “Volunteers are central to so many local organisations and provide important services in our community. “It is important to support the efforts of these organisations and the individuals that allow them to function.” This funding has been provided through round six of the Federal Government’s Stronger Communities Program.
Major milestone reached for Kingscliff High School upgrade PLANNING is underway for the upgrade at Kingscliff High School, with the lodgement of the State Significant Development application. The upgrade at Kingscliff High School includes a new library, new senior learning environment, refurbished hospitality facilities, creative and performing arts building and a new sports pavilion. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the community is excited that the longer-term need for local schools in the area is being met. “The Tweed is a growing community and the upgrade at Kingscliff High School is part of the government’s commitment to supporting families in this area,” Mr Provest said. “I’m looking forward to the construction phase of this upgrade and to the benefits it will bring
students in the area. “We are delivering on our commitment to give local students the latest facilities and support the growing school community building a safer and strong regional NSW. “This is an exciting addition and will deliver modern resources to local students both now and for generations to come.” Mr Provest said. Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is committed to providing new and upgraded schools for communities
across the state. “We’re making the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW, and I’m pleased that Kingscliff students will benefit from this investment,” Ms Mitchell said. The NSW Government is investing $7 billion over the next four years, continuing its program to deliver more than 200 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.

Woodburn’s barter king has eyes on two jet skis By Samantha Elley IT started with a peg and over time has been traded up seven times, leaving Jasper Rose, 11 of Woodburn with a bike. But Woodburn’s barter king doesn’t want to stop there. He is hoping to finally trade up until he has two jet skis and a car. “My science teacher, Mrs Simpson showed our class a TED talk about a guy who traded a paper clip* until he got himself a house,” Jasper said. “My friend and I decided to try it, but he quit. “I started with a peg and spent a lot of time walking about asking people to trade.” Jasper considers himself a bit of a honeybadger where he doesn’t give up but keeps persisting until he gets results. “I traded the peg for 80 cents, then I managed to get a pack of skittles for that. “Then a traded the skittles for a chocolate bar. “Then I got a nine-pack of toilet paper, which was a really good trade.” With the gift of the gab and a salesman’s mentality, Jasper
told people, if they traded for the toilet paper, they will be prepared for the next lockdown. It worked and the next trade was for a brand new in box, fishing reel. The final trade before going to print was the bike.
Jasper’s dad lives in Byron Bay and he is hoping to network with friends there to continue his trading. “I go to someone and introduce myself and explain what I am doing and ask if they have something to trade,” he said.
Free solar - savings up to $600 on electricity bills

OUR COW - SELLING MEAT VIA SOCIAL MEDIA By Tonia Dynan A YOUNG farming couple is changing the way we buy meat, using social media to sell their product directly to consumers up and down the east coast. David McGiveron and Bianca Tarrant scrupulously saved to buy a farm and, in 2017, the couple bought 1300 hectares at Baryulgil, near Casino. “We are young couple and we saved our butts off to get on to the farm and then we went into a lot of debt to stock the place and we were faced with a series of bushfires and droughts and we just couldn’t keep with the market fluctuations in the livestock industry,” Bianca said. “We knew that we were producing the same quality animal year in year out, but with the market fluctuations and the different prices that we were getting at the saleyards, we just were financially under a lot of pressure to try and pay back everything that we’d gone into debt for.” So, the couple started a Facebook page to advertise meat for sale. “We got together and just thought how can we secure ourselves a price for our livestock, how can we make the most out of our little farm that we had at Baryulgil and how can we secure ourselves a price for our produce going forward,” she said. “We started a Facebook page advertising beef for sale and it just has grown from there. We had a goal of selling one body of beef in our first delivery and we did six times that amount.
“We’ve been able to secure a price for our livestock and the demand that we’ve received for our produce has enabled us to bring on over 50 farmers to the Our Cow network. “We work with over 50 different livestock producers across New South Wales and Queensland, and we offer all protein now, so we do beef, pork, lamb and chicken, and everything that we sell on our website is sourced straight from the farmer who produces it.” The couple launched the Our Cow website in March 2019. Bianca said one of the main benefits was that Our Cow could provide other farmers a consistent avenue to sell their livestock, and they could offer consistency and stable pricing for those farmers as well. “Our customers love knowing that they are directly supporting an Australian farmer and our farmers love knowing that that feeding an Australian family,” she said. “It’s not very often in the livestock industry you find out where your animals end up, where they go after they leave your paddock, but so many of our farmers actually see the families that are enjoying their hard work. “They are on our Facebook page, they’re in our closed Facebook groups and they see a family in Melbourne sitting down, enjoying a roast pork or roast beef that’s come off their farm and it’s really humbling for them to know that they’re making a difference out there and it gives our customers a way to directly support farmers everyday through their food
choices, not just in times of crisis when there’s a bushfire or drought.” And does it make a difference to the taste? “Our customers say that they’ve never tasted meat like this before, not even in the best restaurant,” Bianca said. “The quality is far superior to what you would get in a supermarket.” Our Cow has just launched a meat subscription service so you can sign up and choose what meat comes to your door every month. It’s one of Australia’s first online subscription companies. “Customers can choose the delivery frequency and they can essentially, it’s like going to the butcher shop online, they can choose out of anything that we have for sale, and build a box that suits them and their family,” Bianca said.

Cattle paddock the place for art, food, and $100,000 handovers
by Lesley Apps THE hills were alive with the sounds of people having a good time at the recent Art in the Paddock event. More than 400 eager supporters and curious visitors travelled an hour north-west of Grafton to visit one of the region’s historic cattle holdings Wave Hill Station at Carnham and check out the works by artistic talent from across the region. The day was blessed with clear blue winter skies, a striking canopy against the undulating landscape of hills and mountain ridges which visitors rapidly soaked up from various vantage points around the property. They also keenly sampled an assembly of local produce and homemade delights with or without matching beers or Granite Belt wines. The fundraising event was one of the largest gatherings organisers the Grafton Gallery Foundation had hosted according to chair Rod Watters. “We had more than 400 paid guests come out for the day so I estimate takings (before costs) were approaching somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000, which is bloody brilliant,” Mr Watters said. Special ticketed events also contributed to the final total
including wine and cheese tastings, mountain trail tours and the hugely popular high tea which was held on the homestead’s verandah. Mr Watters said the event had become a bit of of a pilgrimage for people; some of previous events taking them to Gordonbrook Station, Turtle Creek at Southgate, and the historic Yulgilbar Castle twice. Also floating about on the day was a rather large cheque, in both senses of the word. Made out to the Grafton Regional Gallery, the $100,000 donation was presented by the Foundation to gallery director Niomi Sands, the largest sum the fundraising group has delivered since its inception in 2005. The amount, which were raised over the past few years, formed part of conditions of the $7.6m Regional Cultural Development funding the institution received to cement its future. “It was us making good on our promise of demonstrating community support (alongside council’s) as part of the original grant application,” Mr Watters said. “It wasn’t that long ago we were in that town hall fight with council to save the gallery. What you see there today shows what the community is capable of achieving. ”

Exhibition to put spotlight on ‘models’ aged 80 or older THE search is on for the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers’ next top model - who just happens to be 80 or older. Aged care provider Feros Care and award-winning artist Katie Hooper have joined forces to launch Visible Me, an artistic photographic project that will showcase more than a dozen seniors in vibrant and unique imagery. Each successful applicant will participate in a professional photo shoot – complete with make-up and hair artist – that will result in a series of colour and blackand-white portraits to feature in an upcoming exhibition. They will also be asked to share aspects of their life stories for eloquently written pieces that will accompany their photographs. The deadline for applications is Friday, June 18. Feros Care Creative Marketing Lead Tarnya Sim said Visible Me was the aged care provider’s latest Grow Bold Project, which aim to inspire people to tackle new challenges regardless of their age.
“At Feros Care, we are committed to providing older Australians with opportunities to live brighter, better, bolder lives and becoming a ‘model’ in your 80s, 90s or even as a centenarian certainly fits the bill,” she said. “We are looking for both men and women who are happy to being photographed in creative and stylistic forms, along with being open when it comes to chatting about their lives. “Visible Me is all about showcasing seniors in a different light.” The creative force behind Visible Me is Mrs Hooper, who has won acclaim as a project director, stylist, artist and storyteller under the banner of Katie Hooper Art. Along with photographer Martyna Celeste and makeup and hair artist Cristine Hinttala, Ms Hooper will capture the images and stories of participants at the homes of independent seniors and Feros Care residential villages in Byron Bay and Kingscliff. “I believe life is about experiencing all that it has to offer and that goes for a

NEW TWEED LANDFILL CELL A ‘Zero Waste Target’ could be one step closer for Tweed Shire Council with the construction of a new putrescible landfill cell at the Tweed Recycling and Landfill Centre. As part of council’s approved Master Plan the cell has been designed and is ready to proceed to the construction phase. The new landfill cell will help to achieve a sustainable and costeffective solution for council’s landfill needs. The almost $2 million contract for construction of the cell has been awarded to Queensland-based Synergy Resource Management Pty Ltd. In 2018, council resolved to adopt a ‘Zero Waste Target’ across the shire. In 2019, council endorsed the Master Plan for the Tweed Recycling and Landfill Centre (formerly known as the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre) which outlines the delivery of capital works for the site. Council recognised the primary focus for the site was to process and divert waste, with waste only going to landfill as a last resort. Currently, waste materials that are landfilled at Tweed Recycling and Landfill attract the NSW State Government Landfill Levy. To operate the landfill site in
a sustainable and cost-effective manner, the facility is used primarily for asbestos and other contaminated waste and as secure landfill air space for emergency events such as flood events. The current landfill cell at Tweed Recycling and Landfill Centre will be exhausted in about two years based on current waste landfilling volumes. Council has been exporting waste to Queensland for the past 10 years and this strategy has extended the life of the current landfill airspace substantially. Initially this was undertaken as there were cost savings for disposal when Queensland didn’t have a waste levy. However, the Queensland State Government has recently introduced a waste levy.

Rail Trail Association urges council to award construction tender THE Northern Rivers Rail Trail Association is urging Tweed Shire Council to award the construction tender for the Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek section of the corridor at this week’s Council meeting, saying a predominately on-formation trail was the most viable option. Councillors will vote on Thursday 17 June on a recommendation by the infrastructure delivery team to award the construction tender for the 24 kilometre stretch of cycle and walking path, the first in what is ultimately proposed to be a 130-kilometre rail trail from Murwillumbah to Casino.
Northern Rivers Rail Trail Association vice president Cameron Arnold said Tweed Shire had already secured State and Federal Government funding for the project, which would provide a significant economic boost to the area and a safe and active corridor for residents to enjoy. “Tweed Shire already has full funding for the rail trail, so all we need is for Councillors to vote to award the construction tender this week and we are off and running,” he said. “The State and Federal Governments awarded these grants to Tweed Shire to plan and execute the rail trail on-formation. If Council
decides at the eleventh hour not to proceed, they may have to repay the money, of which around $1 million has already been spent. “Council has done its due diligence investigating both an on- and off-formation trail by asking the construction companies to tender for the option they felt was most appropriate. All four came back with only 20 per cent or less off-formation, which speaks volumes. “We urge Council not to delay further and vote to proceed with the predominately on-formation proposal that has been presented as the most viable option.”
Mr Arnold said proceeding with an on-formation rail trail would not preclude trains coming back in future and, would in fact, preserve the corridor for future generations. “The railway line is already being dismantled in some sections, with eight bridges removed and four parcels of land sold-off. If we do not protect the corridor now by building the rail trail, we may lose it altogether,” he said. “In the current climate, we do not believe a train or light rail would be an economically viable option for the State Government. The rail trail is, so we encourage the community to get behind it.
“We formed our Association with the purpose of seeing this corridor preserved as a public asset the entire community can access in a safe and healthy way for generations to come. “An active cycle and walking trail weaving between the towns in our region is just that. It will become a new way for locals to get to school, work, sport or shopping, a place to enjoy recreation and fitness, a boost to local businesses and a new tourism asset for our community. “The rail trail is an opportunity to turn this land into something truly special for our beautiful part of the world.”

CHANGES TO THE KYOGLE LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN KYOGLE Council is inviting the community to provide feedback on a proposal to create a single rural land use zone across the Kyogle local government area. The proposed amendment to the Kyogle Local Environmental Plan (LEP) would see all land currently zoned RU2 (Rural Landscape) in the LEP reclassified as RU1 (Primary Production). All outstanding ‘deferred matter areas’ in the LEP would also be rezoned RU1 under this proposal. At the same time, a biodiversity clause and overlay would
be introduced to the LEP. “The proposed removal of the RU2 Zone from the LEP is an outcome that council has sought for many years,” Kyogle Mayor Danielle Mulholland said. “These proposed changes are a great result for the community. “Council clearly heard the message that many rural landowners were concerned that the RU2 zone was overly restrictive and has worked hard to arrive at this position where it can finally be removed from the LEP. “Council restated its
Kyogle Mayor Danielle Mulholland
commitment to a single rural zone in the LEP when it adopted its Local Strategic Planning
Statement in 2020.” Cr Mulholland said the introduction of a biodiversity overlay within
the LEP would ensure that areas of potential high biodiversity value were identified, and this would enable landowners to plan for future development accordingly. “The introduction of a biodiversity overlay will not prevent landowners from carrying out appropriate development and improvement of their properties,” she said. “It will assist them in identifying those areas in their ownership where extra care and consideration will need to be taken in drafting their development proposals.”
New toilet block reveals school’s history
The cake celebrating 140 years of Broadwater Public School. By Samantha Elley AFTER a fruitless search two years ago for the Broadwater Public School time capsule buried in 1981, principal Steve Curtin and local Broadwater historian Betty Archer had given up hope of finding this important piece of school history. Then as luck would have it, this year a new toilet block was being built for the school and Mr Curtin asked the excavators to be careful as he knew the capsule had to be in the same area. In a short space of time the capsule was found and plans for a 140-year celebration of the school, founded in 1881, got under way. “There were 150 people who came on the day,” said Ms Archer. “That included Mrs Joyce Crook who at 97 years old is the oldest living student from Broadwater Public School.” Mrs Crook now resides in St Andrews Nursing Home at Ballina and was born Joyce
Everson in 1924 and enrolled at Broadwater on February 2, 1929, at the age of 7. “She walked from the family home at Everson Creek, almost a mile to and from the school each day,” said Ms Archer. Mrs Crook and the youngest student to attend the celebrations, Wade Edgerton, 5 of Kindy, cut the cake for the day. The 40-year-old capsule was formally opened and showed to include a uniform, newspapers of the day, toys from the day and a lot of school work. There were also letters from students to their future selves. “(Ex-student) Carmel Maloney found her letter that she’d written to herself when the capsule was opened,” said Mrs Archer. “She had written that she thought Broadwater would be a city and the mill and school would be closed down.” The day included a fantastic spread of food from the P&C and a display of as many photos of classes and students’ names that could be

Students, teachers and families attended from as far as Sawtell, Mummulgum and Brisbane as they watched the students prepare a new time capsule to be buried and ready for opening in 2041. “The new capsule contains similar items to the old one but also includes an album full of photos, including those of the technology of today and some COVID items as well,” said Mr Curtin. “We decided on the day what to do with the 40-year-old capsule and we will rebury it with the new one from 2021. “I just want to thank all the people that took the time to acknowledge the school’s special day and its history. “A special thanks to Betty Archer for all her organising and the students who ran the ceremony of unpacking and packing the time capsules.”

Museum continues national success Small Town Queer wins prestigious award TWEED Regional Museum’s exhibition celebrating the contribution of the Tweed’s LGBTQIA+ community has won a national award. Small Town Queer received the Australian Museums and Galleries Association award for Temporary or Travelling Exhibition Level 2. It’s the second time the Museum has been recognised by the Museums & Galleries National Awards (MAGNAs) over the past 12 months and acknowledges originality, innovation and best practice in exhibitions, public programs and sustainability projects. Small Town Queer explores the rich tapestry of Tweed’s LGBTQIA+ history from the early 1900s to the present. This digital project includes the Museum’s first podcast series, a story map and an interactive portal for community contributions. The Museum has collaborated with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (LGBTQIA+) and Ally community members to collect, share and preserve the histories of Tweed’s many and varied
Queer voices. Acting Museum Director Erika Taylor said the award recognises the Museum’s ongoing work towards ensuring its collections and programs represent all people who call the Tweed home and who contribute to the richness and vitality of the community.
“This exhibition acknowledges those community members whose experiences and many contributions have been largely missing from public history, and it shares stories of diversity within the Queer community,” Ms Taylor said. Mayor of Tweed Shire Chris Cherry congratulated
the Museum team for putting together such a unique exhibition. “This national award is a big deal, with the Tweed competing against the likes of the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, so to win it, is a huge credit to all involved in its creation,” Cr Cherry said.
“I have followed the development of Small Town Queer from the beginning and am proud of how it highlights the inclusive nature of the Tweed community in an interesting, educational and informative way. We’ve had strong buy-in from the community as well, sharing their stories and making this a living exhibition.” Funding from the NSW Government through Create NSW helped the project come to fruition. The Museum accepted the award at a national hybrid online and in-person event hosted by the Australian Museums and Galleries Association on Wednesday 9 June 2021. Find out more about Small Town Queer by visiting the Museum’s website at https:// museum.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ small-town-queer In October 2020, Tweed Regional Museum’s Land | Life | Culture exhibition won the category for permanent exhibitions as part of the Museums & Galleries National Awards.

CRACKDOWN WITH the real estate sector continuing to boom across NSW, Fair Trading inspectors are out in force to ensure agents are complying with legislation in place to protect consumers. Minister for Better Regulation, Kevin Anderson said dodgy agents can be fined up to $22,000 for failure to comply with the Property Stock and Business Agents Act. “Buying, selling or renting a home is a massive financial decision for consumers which is why we have strong legislation and a fiercely independent regulator to ensure real estate agents are conducting themselves appropriately,” Mr Anderson said.
“Our inspectors have been out visiting agencies, auctions and open homes across the state to make sure agents are doing the right thing and fining those who aren’t. “The latest checks uncovered a myriad of non-compliance, and we will continue to conduct these blitzes until the industry pulls its socks up.” Mr Anderson said in the last two week-long blitzes alone, NSW Fair Trading has issued 137 Penalty Infringement Notices and 224 warnings, with fines totaling $150,710. “We are the only state in Australia to carry out regular real estate compliance blitzes and that is due to the NSW
Government’s commitment to protect consumers,” Mr Anderson said. “This is exactly what NSW Fair Trading is here to do – make sure businesses are following the rules with the goal of protecting the interests of consumers both buying and selling properties.” NSW Fair Trading will continue to conduct real estate compliance blitzes throughout the year.

Pimlico Hall – A tasty slice of history
Christmas lunch at the hall in 2019. By Adrienne Doust Publicity officer, Pimlico Ladies Charitable Organisation Inc IN 1960, a group of 18 women formed the Pimlico Ladies Charitable Organisation. Last year, they held their last meeting. Pimlico Hall will now be occupied by the newly formed Ballina & District Historical Society who will operate a museum in the hall. Pimlico Ladies are pleased to see the hall rejuvenated by their hard-working members, who have painted the hall inside and out, planted a garden at the front entrance and generally given the hall a new lease on life. The items on display are bound to cause lots of reminiscing for visitors, and they wish the society every success with their venture. The Pimlico Ladies started as a branch of the Country Womens Association but after 13 years decided to stand alone and raise money for local charities, as well as for maintaining the Pimlico Hall. After 60 years of service to their community, the Pimlico Ladies reluctantly have had to cease their operation and say goodbye to the hall. Five of the founding members - Meryl Rodgers, Betty Fernance, Vida Brown, Betty Whitney and Olive Creighton - served for many years. Betty Whitney and Olive Creighton remained members to the very end – an amazing record of service. Sadly, Betty has since passed away. Mrs Rodgers and another long-time member, Mrs Rose Leeson, were Ballina Shire

The only other time hoi has been cancelled was in 1976 during a flood. They say that all good things must come to an end and it is the way of the world today that groups such as the Pimlico Ladies fade away. Our founding members joined when they were only in their 30s; today, even ladies in their 60s and 70s are still working. Raising funds for local charities has been necessary and remains necessary today. Pimlico Ladies members have enjoyed the work they have done and could not have achieved what they did without the many people who have come along regularly, paid $5 at the door, and bought raffle tickets, cakes, produce, craft or trash ‘n’ treasurer items. To all those who have supported them, they say a big thank you.

“Leemo’s View” Residents worried about 250-lot subdivision for village “LEEMO has views on just about anything”
A FURRY FOOTBALL …eeeek Hello again...‘Leemo Cat’ back. I am in a total state of indignation right now. This was a direct result of ‘Mum Jane’ telling me “THAT I LOOKED EXCEEDINGLY WELL”. I initially believed this to be a compliment. I purred and preened and ran down the hall to admire myself in the mirror. Mum told me that “Leemo, someone telling you that you are looking well is NOT necessarily a compliment.” Hmmm...Confusion? It turns out that Mum’s dad used the term “you’re looking well” when he thought any of his offspring looked, hmmm, well, overweight. Needless to say, my mood diffused somewhat into a sulk. Mum of course, had to continue her diatribe. (she can’t help herself!) “Leems, you look in fact like a black very furry football with legs, which I believe can be attributed to the amount of time you spend standing beside your food bowl
like Tiny Tim, or SLEEPING in your plush blue blankie cave”. OMG, can you believe this. I very quickly surmised I needed to explain just a few ‘pertinent feline facts’ to Smarty Pants Mum. I told her to sit down and be quiet (for a change!). I informed her that we cats are exceptionally smart. OF COURSE I have been sleeping more... you should know a typical cat will sleep anywhere from 12 to 16 hours, or even up to 20 hours a day. In the winter months we may sleep even longer because the warm sunny hours have shortened. The fact that YOU, MUM, go to bed earlier in winter yourself should tell you something. I continued on. As for your rude football description of me I will elucidate for you. I am NOT overweight. In winter we cats, due to our supreme intelligence, do exactly what you do Mum. We grow thicker fur in winter to protect us against beastly chilly winds and frost and stuff. And, Mum, the amount of clothes, like thermal underwear, jumpers, scarves socks and hats YOU have been wearing makes me think of an abominable snowwoman. In other words, your clothing has ‘thickened’ just like my fur. SO THERE MUM…suck it up and humbly say sorry. Hmmm...there was a stunned silence from Mum...for once she seemed lost for words. Hopefully she will remain this way for the rest of the day... or week! Purrsies, Leemo.
By Tim Howard GULMARRAD residents have not let up in their objections to a 250 manufactured housing estate proposed for the tiny rural village. The owner of Lot 2 Brooms Head Rd, Jim Bricknell Chiropractor Pty Ltd, has returned to council with a revised application, called the Glencoe Lifestyle Resort, after council staff raised issues with an initial proposal submitted in August 2109 for a 255-lot development. Staff pointed out issues with council staff raised a number of issues with the applicant about the proposal including: • Connectivity of recreation areas and the retention of remnant vegetation and flora and fauna habitats. • The connectivity of vehicular and pedestrian access. • Provisions for public infrastructure and community benefit and interest. • Engineering related matters – Traffic, Access off Brooms Head Road and Stormwater Management. The application was amended with revised plans submitted on December 11, 2020, reducing the numbers of sites to 250, reducing the overall footprint area and changing the access intersection from Brooms Head Road to one off Sheehans Lane. The council report also indicated this application, the first for the urban release area, would soon have a second, related development for a 71-lot residential subdivision including a shopping centre and tavern, on the northern, Lot 1. The council received 77 submissions against the first proposal and another 14 for the second submission. Residents opposed to the development said it was out

Some were worried the influx of mainly elderly people into a development of this kind would overwhelm medical facilities in the region, including the hospitals at Maclean and Grafton. There were also concerns the increased traffic flow on Brooms Head Rd would create safety issues and damage the road surface. The council report showed there had been planning to head off some of these issues, include a new intersection with Sheehan’s Ln which would connect this development with surrounding undeveloped land and the neighbourhood centre. “The need for this link was identified by the Maclean Urban Catchment Local Growth Management Strategy 2011, which is a growth management strategy endorsed by both Council and the NSW Department Planning, Industry and Environment.
That strategy formed part of the strategic justification to rezone this land and key outcomes will be delivered through subsequent development consents,” the report noted. Submissions also note a number of biodiversity issues including the presence of coastal emus in the vicinity of the development, habitat issues for some bird species and the need to conserve mature trees on the site. Another contentious issue for residents was stormwater management as this had been an endemic issue in the Gulmarrad area. The development proposes methods of dealing with stormwater generated on the site, but council staff sad these would require further conditions. The council’s environment planning and community committee debated this matter on Tuesday. The Northern Rivers Times will cover this issue and other matters before the council committees in next week’s edition.

CLARENCE LOSES ONE OF ITS REMAINING FEW WW2 DIGGERS By Tim Howard THE Clarence Valley has lost one of its few remaining World War 2 diggers with the passing of Henry ‘Corky’ Caldwell, said Grafton RSL president, Brian Bultitude. Mr Caldwell, who died suddenly at his daughter’s home on Friday, was 101. He served in the as an mechanic on the front line during the North African campaign and was one of the last Australians to leave when the Australian army units were recalled to defend their homeland against the threat from Japan. Mr Bultitude said Mr Caldwell had joined the local RSL branch in 1960 and had rarely missed a monthly meeting. He said he had been one of three or four World War 2 veterans remaining the Clarence Valley. “He used to drive in from Minnie Water every month and in recent times he got another member from out there to drive him in,” Mr Bultitude said. “He very rarely missed a meeting, from memory I saw him at a meeting two months ago.” Mr Caldwell was even more meticulous about Anzac Day ceremonies, never missing

He wouldn’t let the COVID-19 cancellation in 2020 break his tradition, enlisting the help of his family and friends to stage a personal Anzac Day ‘parade’, taking a jeep ride down Grafton’s Prince St to Memorial Park for a wreath laying. At the time he revealed he still had ambitions for the future, hoping to outlast the
battery in his pacemaker, which was due to be changed when he was 105. “What will you do then, dad?” said his daughter, Suzanne Lofts. “Get another one,” he replied. Despite his advanced years Mr Caldwell’s death has shocked his family. He died from a brain haemorrhage while eating ice cream at his other daughter,
Glenda Chappel’s home. Mrs Lofts told the media her father was enjoying ice cream after dinner, watching the football with her sister. “He dropped his ice cream and that was it,” Mrs Lofts said. “I’m pretty devastated because his health was so good and it was totally unexpected. He’d just been given a clean bill of health, heart, lungs everything.”
His death also saddened many in the Clarence Valley who had known Mr Caldwell through his many community activities. His family described him as straight talking, honest and also committed to volunteering. In 1956 he was asked to run the Olympic torch through Grafton. In 2008 He received an Order of Australia for community service and a Queens Medal for service to the fire brigade. “He was really, really proud of his volunteering achievements, he volunteered for 50 years, for the town fire brigade and the rural fire service,’ Mrs Lofts said. Girls from Grafton High School hockey teams in the early 1950s also remember him as “the best hockey coach”. He was also a life member of the Grafton Show Society and the local kennel club. Mr Bultitude said Mr Caldwell’s funeral was scheduled for June 25 at Christ Church Cathedral Grafton. “The executive is yet to meet to decide what to do, but we’ll most likely cancel our monthly meeting, which is scheduled for then, and all attend his funeral,” he said.
New top cop for Northern Region
Extend light rail - Provest
OFFICER Peter McKenna (pictured) has been appointed Assistant Commissioner for the Northern Region. The NSW Government officially appointed seven Assistant Commissioners and two Deputy Commissioners to the NSW Police Force last week. In 1997, Detective Superintendent Mckenna commenced a career in criminal investigations in the Northern Region, where in 2002, he was promoted to Detective Sergeant at Forster Police Station. In 2006, Superintendent Mckenna was promoted to the rank of Inspector in the same area of Manning/Great Lakes. In 2017 he was promoted to his current rank and position at Orana Mid Western Police District. Detective Superintendent Mckenna has significant operational experience across metropolitan and regional NSW and across major criminal investigations. During his career, he has consistently achieved high academic results and was awarded the Detective Medallion (1st place) in the Detectives Education Program. Detective Superintendent Mckenna’s
NATIONALS MP for Tweed, Geoff Provest, has backed calls for the Gold Coast light rail to be extended to Coolangatta airport. Mr Provest said the region has been crying out for this light rail with work already underway on a Multi Modal Corridor Study to identify a suitable five-kilometre corridor for a future light rail from Coolangatta to the Tweed.
list of achievements include the hunt for Malcolm Naden under Strike Force Durkin, the targeting of outlaws motorcycle gangs (OMCG) under Operation Garwi, and instigation of Operation Twigg, which led to the arrest of hundreds of offenders on the Child Protection Register. Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott welcomed the new appointments. “The NSW Police Force is, in my opinion, the best in the world and it can only get better with the additional leadership of these nine appointees,” Mr Elliott said. The appointments will take effect from July 1.
“Extending the light rail on the Gold Coast all the way to the Gold Coast Airport would be a game changer for our region,” Mr Provest said. “I have put money on the table for a light rail study from the Tweed to Coolangatta and the extension of the Gold Coast light rail from Burleigh Heads to Coolangatta would help future proof our public transport needs.

US PHILANTHROPISTS BACK CORAL CRUSADER FROM SCU SOUTHERN Cross University research into scaling-up coral reef restoration around the globe has received significant funding from the Paul G Allen Family Foundation. Professor Peter Harrison has been awarded AUD$1.3 million to expand the impact of his pioneering Coral IVF technique. The philanthropic organisation, named after the late Microsoft co-founder and innovator Paul G Allen who was at the forefront of last century’s boom in personal computers, has long supported the work of those preserving and protecting coral reefs from the impacts of climate change. Paul G Allen Family Foundation grants totalling AUD$9.3 million (US$7.2 million) is shared between Professor Harrison and three other international projects to support action helping coral reefs survive the impacts of climate change. “The rapid decline of coral reefs in the face of climate change makes finding adaptation techniques essential if corals are to survive,” said Jody Allen, cofounder and chair of the Paul G Allen Family Foundation (PGAFF).
“These grants build on the Foundation’s longstanding commitment to coral reefs and support of applicable, scalable solutions to protect them. We are at a critical juncture with coral reefs facing extinction and the world must continue to invest in actionable research that ensures their preservation and long-term survival.” With the clock ticking, this new suite of research grants is designed with a three-year timeline and focuses on applied solutions that can be deployed in the field by 2024. The grants develop each researcher’s initial success and enables them to enter into phase two: turning innovative ideas into scalable, sustainable solutions for coral reefs. It’s an opportunity for Professor Peter Harrison to refine his pioneering Coral IVF technique with a focus on enhancing the survival rate of juvenile corals to restore reefs. The PGAFF grant will be used to scale-up restoration of degraded coral reefs by clearing degraded reefs of seaweed, feeding coral larvae, and settling them in new designs. “I’m excited to receive this essential funding from
the PGAFF as they are a very important international organisation investing in innovation for scaling-up coral restoration practices globally, and the funds will allow me to further evolve the techniques to repair larger areas of damaged reefs,” said Professor Harrison. “Most reefs around the world including the Great Barrier Reef have suffered immense damage from recent coral bleaching events, increased sediment and pollution and other human activities.
“As a result, many of the living corals have died and the dead coral skeletons haven been rapidly colonised by seaweed. When they become choked by seaweed, it is usually so thick there’s very little opportunity for coral larvae to a find suitable place to settle and grow. “This new project will us to explore ways to remove some of the seaweed and replace them with juvenile corals with that will grow into vibrant healthy coral communities and re-establish the coral ecosystem.
“What we plan to do is grow hundreds of millions of larvae directly on reefs in the Great Barrier Reef then transfer those larvae to damaged areas and release them there to kickstart the recovery of coral communities.” Professor Peter Harrison’s Scaling Restoration project is co-funded by the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (funded by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation).
NSW to welcome back international students INTERNATIONAL students are expected to be welcomed back under a NSW Government pilot plan for their safe return over the second half of the year, to help kick-start the billiondollar industry. Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said international students are a vital missing piece in the State’s economic recovery, with the sector worth $14.6 billion in 2019. This will benefit tens of thousands of NSW residents whose jobs rely on this industry across retail, hospitality and many other fields. The pilot plan will initially see a limited number of students from a range of countries in purpose-built student accommodation adhering to the same quarantine requirements as all incoming travellers. “International education is our second most valuable
export and we need to do what we can to help students return and revive this sector as quickly as possible,” Mr Perrottet said. “Typically, we have more than 250,000 international students studying in NSW each year and they directly supported over 95,000 local jobs prior to the pandemic. If we don’t act fast, students will turn to other overseas destinations and it could take the sector decades to recover. “That’s why we’ve developed a pilot plan supported by NSW Health and NSW Police that enables 250 international students to come to Sydney per fortnight from mid-year, in a gradual approach that will enable us to closely manage the process and ensure community health is not compromised.” The international student allocation will be in addition to the current number of returning Australians allowed
into NSW each week. “This won’t come at the expense of returning Aussies. We will continue to bring back 3,000 people per week – well more than any other state,” Mr. Perrottet said. NSW Health would triage arriving students and direct them to quarantine at specially approved student accommodation at no cost to taxpayers. The first of these sites has been chosen, with contract negotiations well advanced. It is estimated that the combined impact of closed international borders, including on students and tourism, could be as high as $1.5 billion per month for NSW. This is a major contributing factor to the CBD’s slower economic recovery rate. “This is a crucial sector for NSW and Australia, and we will work with the Commonwealth and
education sector to achieve the best outcome,” Mr Perrottet said. Professor Barney Glover AO, on behalf of the NSW Vice-Chancellors’ Committee, welcomed the State’s approval of the Program after working collaboratively for several months to commence the safe return of international students to NSW. “As at May this year, there were many higher education students diligently studying offshore – many of whom expect to return to our campuses to finish their studies. This Program has carefully considered the personal, social and academic aspects of our students, to ensure they successfully resume their studies and re-join NSW’s vibrant, multicultural community as soon as possible,” Professor Glover said. “We are excited to finally welcome back international
students to experience the world- class education, training and research that makes NSW such an attractive destination for education.” Council of International Students President, Belle Lim was extremely encouraged to learn that the NSW Plan had been submitted for review. “We are so happy to see that international students will be welcomed back to NSW. This sends a great message to international students studying online offshore that there is hope that things will return to normal again,” Ms Lim said. “We are pleased to see the cautious approach but are hopeful the numbers of students arriving will scale over time. CISA strongly supports the detailed planning that has been done by NSW.” The NSW plan has been submitted to the Federal Government for final review.

HOME-COOKING SECRETS SHOWCASED IN FREE WORKSHOPS PIONEERING healthy cooking educators The Wholesome Collective will be firing up their cooktops in Coraki, Casino, and Ellangowan this month, in a series of free workshops revealing the time-tested tips of preparing delicious and healthy food on a budget. Founded by accredited dietitian Kerryn Boogaard, and home economist Mary Wills, The Wholesome Collective is a social enterprise promoting the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients to prepare tasty meals. Richmond Valley Council’s Disaster Recovery team has coordinated the workshops thanks to funding support from Resilience NSW, as part of its ongoing recovery effort aimed at strengthening community connections and improving residents’ health and wellbeing outcomes. The free workshops will take place at the Casino Community and Cultural

Centre, Coraki Golf Club, and the Ellangowan Hall between 22-24 June. Richmond Valley Council’s Acting General Manager Angela Jones said The Wholesome Collective would combine culinary skills and education with expertise in nutrition, general health, and chronic disease prevention. Ms Jones said the workshops would involve a
series of informative cooking presentations, with advice such as grocery shopping on a limited budget, tips to make meal preparation easier, and simple secrets to boosting flavour in your cooking. “The aim of the workshops is to help people overcome their common barriers to eating well at home, which may include a lack of kitchen education, social isolation,
mental health problems, limited family support and chronic medical conditions,” she said. The Wholesome Collective’s Mary Wills said the workshops would be fun and interactive, and led by the audience. Ms Willis said the workshops also included some “myth busting” on the convenience of fast food compared to cooking at home, and its long-term health impacts. “We work with every age and stage of life, from four to over 100, to empower people to get into fun and healthy habits in their own kitchen,” Ms Willis said. “The workshops will include a live cooking demonstration and participants can ask the questions which matter to them to ensure they get the most out of the experience. “We’ll show people how to whip up something quick and
easy, packed with both flavour and nutrition, every day of the week, not just as a one off.” Everyone who attends will get to sample the prepared food and receive a free cookbook, which includes 80 recipes along with important nutrition information.

Smooth roads ahead for north Byron Shire SOUTH Golden Beach and Mullumbimby are next in line for major road upgrades and reseals as Byron Shire Council continues to roll out works made possible thanks to the NSW Government’s $25 million Roads and Infrastructure Election Commitment funding. “So far this year we are off to a great start with six reseal jobs completed in Byron Bay and three so far in Mullumbimby, with a much larger program of works to come in Mullumbimby this month and some exciting road rehabilitation planned for eight streets in desperate need of upgrading in South Golden Beach,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Services, Phil Holloway said. “When you add this all up, on the back of the recent NSW Government’s Fixing Local Roads funding announcement which will see 29 streets improved across Ocean Shores, New Brighton and South Golden Beach this year – it’s going to be transformative for people who live in the north of Byron Shire,” he said. Upcoming works scheduled under NSW Government’s $25 million Roads and Infrastructure Election Commitment funding include major resurfacing of Fern St and Stuart Street as well as asphalt overlays for Whian St, Murwillumbah St and Palm
Ave, scheduled for mid-year. The streets set to benefit from major road works in South Golden Beach include Gloria St, Robin St, Peter St, Helen St, Royal St, Rangal St, Pacific Esplanade and Elizabeth Street. Council is aiming to get these works done in September/October 2021. “The $25m funding from the NSW Government has enabled us to achieve quality reseal roads across the Byron Shire, in a faster time and with an improved lifespan of 15 years, reducing future pot hole patching and saving hundreds of thousands of ratepayer dollars that would have been spent on short-term fixes and maintenance in the past. “We look forward to delivering this huge program of works in 2021,” he said. What’s been delivered The NSW Government’s $25 million Roads and Infrastructure Election Commitment funding has allowed Council to complete the following road reseals since the beginning of 2021: Byron Bay • Somerset St; • Wordsworth St; • Butter Lane; • Skinners Shoot Road; • Milton St; and • Burns St. At the end of 2020, Council completed road reseals on Broken Head Road and Bangalow Road as well as
Arakwal Court and Wollumbin Street in Byron Bay. Asphalt upgrades were also delivered on roads in Ocean Shores including high use sections of Orana Drive, Rajah Road, Balemo Drive, Warrambool St and Yengarie Road. We also completed a major road reseal in Mullumbimbi Street Brunswick Heads on the approach to the upgraded Brunswick Heads Bridge, plus a program of street upgrades around Brunswick Heads. A comprehensive program of line-marking has been completed in the town. Pearce Road and Booyong Road at Booyong which was in extremely poor condition also got a reseal over 5km of old road along with a 3.3km stretch on Binna Burra Road - delivering long- awaited upgrades for local residents. Also in 2020, Council delivered 9 roads in Byron Bay and Ewingsdale, 3 in Suffolk Park, 11 in Brunswick Heads, 3 in Federal, 5 in Ocean Shores, a major reseal of Pearce Road, Booyong and Binna Burra Road, as well as upgrades for Kolora Way, South Golden Beach and Federal Drive, Goonengerry. In total, $2.11M of the funding for shire-wide reseals, overlays and heavy patching works was spent in the first year (2020) $2.53M has been spent so far in the second year
of the funding program. There is a total of $11M allocated for asphalt overlay, reseals and heavy patching over the next two years. In addition to the roadworks listed above, Council allocated $10.15m to deliver the following road reconstruction, resurfacing and improvement projects: Completed roadworks • Bangalow Road Talofa; • Kingsley Street, Byron Bay; • Carlyle Street (middle section), Byron Bay; • Lawson Street, Byron Bay; • Tincogan Street, Mullumbimby (asphalt overlay); Upcoming roadworks • Bayshore Drive, Byron Bay (design commencing mid-2021); • Fern Street, Mullumbimby (design underway, aligned with Masterplan); • Stuart Street, Mullumbimby (design underway, aligned with Masterplan); • Tincogan Street, Mullumbimby (line marking, signage and intersection priority changes). There is also a further $5m of funding allocated to support a range of tourism-related infrastructure projects including: • $1.57 million for the Byron Bay to Suffolk Park cycle path - completed; • $2.05 million for the Sandhills Estate activation
including a new skatepark and recreation precinct linking the Byron Bay Rec Grounds, Main Beach, Tennyson St, Massinger St and Byron St; • $945,000 for formalising South Beach Road (near Surf Club), Brunswick Heads – design getting underway this year; and • $435,000 to improve public facilities at Byron Bay’s Main Beach. Local Nationals Member of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin said that it was brilliant to see so many upgrades happening across the Shire. “This funding is a result of an election commitment I made in 2019. Promising and delivering this $25 million to the community was so important to me and I’m thrilled with what the Council has already been able to achieve and the improvements yet to come,” Mr Franklin said. “Locals and visitors deserve to have high quality, safe roads and that is what this funding delivers,” he said.

NRAR LAUNCHES ABORIGINAL SUPPORT NETWORK DURING NAIDOC WEEK THE Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) launched its Aboriginal Support Network (ASN) today as part of NAIDOC Week. The ASN is an independent body of Aboriginal staff within NRAR providing support and growth opportunities to its members. This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is ‘Heal Country’ which calls for greater protection of traditional lands, waters, sacred sites and cultural heritage from exploitation, desecration, and destruction. Marcus Leslie, Gomeroi man and Team Leader of Compliance Monitoring, says this year’s theme is not dissimilar to the objectives of the ASN, which he helped
form. “Any outcome that’s working towards conserving, protecting and enhancing Aboriginal culture, land and water, particularly our spiritual connections, our values and uses connected to water, is important. The ASN helps Aboriginal staff be included in conversations about water, giving us a platform to contribute and add value,” Mr Leslie said. Alongside helping Aboriginal members to realise their potential as leaders within water management, the ASN also helps NRAR carry out its functions in a culturally sensitive way that respects Aboriginal values. To celebrate NAIDOC Week, NRAR’s first Aboriginal board member
and proud Gomeroi man, Phil Duncan, is taking ASN members to Myalls Creek for a guided tour with Gamilaraay elder, Kelvin Brown. “Myalls Creek is a historically and culturally significant site for Aboriginal people that tells a confronting story of our history on this land,” Mr Duncan said. “Our people were massacred here in 1838 while
unarmed. It’s an unpleasant event but we must come to terms with our history before we can embrace our future.” Mr Leslie believes NAIDOC Week is also a time to remember those who inhabited and managed the land and waters before us. “It reminds us every year that there are people that came before us. It’s a time to stop, pause and acknowledge the oldest continuously practiced culture on Earth,” Mr Leslie said. “While this week is a time of celebration, it’s also a time of sadness for some. We encourage people to take time to engage, be curious about Aboriginal culture and celebrate opportunities to work with Aboriginal people.” Kelsie Beatty, a Kooma
woman, Field Officer and ASN Secretary, says nonAboriginal Australians can help celebrate NAIDOC Week in a culturally informed way. “Showing an interest in our history and culture in a respectful and sensitive way is a start and will make a difference to our lives.” The ASN is working closely with NRAR to help build its cultural capability and stakeholder engagement with Aboriginal communities which is a focus for the regulator.

Skippers reminded to keep a safe distance after man critically injured when breaching whale lands on boat AUTHORITIES are urging skippers to be aware of surroundings and maintain safe distances while on the water during this season’s whale migration along the NSW coast. The reminder follows a significant increase in the number of whales migrating north through NSW waters and a serious incident involving a recreational vessel on the state’s South Coast at the weekend. Just after 9am on Sunday 6 June, Marine Rescue NSW received a MAYDAY call after a breaching whale landed on top of a recreational vessel off the coast of Narooma. The 39-year-old male skipper advised that his 18-year-old male passenger had sustained a serious head injury and was trying to navigate back to the boat ramp despite the vessel taking on water. NSW Ambulance paramedics met the vessel at the boat ramp and treated both men before taking them to hospital for treatment. The younger man was later airlifted from Moruya Hospital to Canberra Hospital, where he remains in a critical but stable condition, while the older man was treated at Moruya Hospital for facial lacerations and concussion.
Marine Area Commander, Superintendent Joe McNulty, said Maritime NSW has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. “While inquiries are in their infancy, the incident demonstrates the dangers these mammals can pose to those on the water,” Supt McNulty said. “In recent days, the number of whales migrating north has dramatically increased, and maritime authorities have received reports they’re travelling closer to the coast than in previous years. “Given the close proximity to the shoreline, there is potential for some spectacular whale watching, but we encourage anyone
hoping to get a closer look to maintain a safe distance as outlined in the Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017.” More information about whale watching and safety tips from NPWS are available online: https:// www.nationalparks.nsw. gov.au/wild-about-whales/ whale-watching-approachzones It’s believed the whale may have also been injured during the incident and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will work with Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia (ORRCA) will monitor to ensure assistance is provided, if required. Anyone who sees a stranded, entangled or
distressed whale is urged to contact call NPWS on 1300 0 PARKS. Supt McNulty said it is a timely reminder to keep safety at top of mind at all times and adhere to approach zones whether in, on or above the water. “With tens of thousands of large whales currently migrating north, we expect large numbers of vessels to take to the water, all water craft (including surfboards), vessels, swimmers and spectators must adhere to regulations – not only for their safety, but also for the protection of these magnificent creatures,” Supt McNulty said. “You must not approach a whale any closer than 100m on a vessel, including boats, surf skis and kayaks,
or 300m on a ‘prohibited vessel’, which includes jet skis. “Swimmers and divers must not enter the water within 100m of a whale and then make sure they maintain a distance of at least 30m in any direction. “For those lucky enough to view from above the water, unmanned aircraft (drones) must not encroach closer than 100m, while other aircraft must maintain a distance of 300m, except helicopters and gyrocopters, which must maintain a distance of 500m.” “In addition, all the normal marine safety rules apply, which includes the skipper’s responsibility for the safety and well-being of all on-board their vessel,” Supt McNulty said. “This includes making sure the vessel is in good working order and carrying all the correct safety equipment, including a life jacket for every occupant. “Most importantly, check the weather and marine conditions before you head out and while you’re out to make sure you make it back to shore safely.” For all your on-water safety information, visit: https://roads-waterways. transport.nsw.gov.au/ maritime/safety-rules/ index.html

32 BUSINESS PAYMENT REDIRECTION SCAMS COST AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSES $128 MILLION IN 2020
Payment redirection scams were the most financially damaging scams for Australian businesses in 2020 according to the ACCC’s latest Targeting Scams report. Combined losses reported to Scamwatch, other government agencies, banks and payment platforms totalled $128 million in 2020. Reports to Scamwatch show that Australian businesses lost $18 million to scams in 2020, a 260 per cent increase on losses reported in 2019. “Small and micro businesses
made most of the reports to Scamwatch and experienced an increase in losses in 2020, although larger businesses reported the highest losses,” ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh said. Based on Scamwatch data alone, false billing scams were the most commonly reported scam by businesses and accounted for three quarters of total losses to businesses. Small and micro businesses accounted for almost 60 per cent of these false billing
reports. There are a range of false billing scams, but the most common type was payment redirection scams, also known as business email compromise (BEC) scams, with 1,300 reports and $14 million in losses. This is a substantial increase from the 900 reports and $5 million in losses reported in 2019. In a payment redirection scam, scammers impersonate a business or its employees via email and request an upcoming
BUSINESS EVENTS TURBOCHARGED ACROSS NSW A total of 27 business events across NSW will receive grants of up to $30,000, helping to turbocharge local economies and create more jobs across the State. Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said while it has been incredibly tough for the business events sector, now was the time to rebuild business confidence and kick-start momentum across the industry. “From Ballina and Coffs Harbour to Bathurst, and the Murray, the events will be staged across various corners of regional NSW, hosting more than 35,000 delegates in our State,” Mr Ayres said. “These grants will not only support event managers and venues, but it will have huge flow-on effects and will help to boost the entire supply chain, putting more dollars into the pockets of local businesspeople and creating jobs.” Mr Ayres said the opening of the $500,000 NSW Regional Business Event Development Fund in February could not have

come at a better time, as the return of more face-to-face events ramps up. “There’s a strong appetite among NSW businesses to get back to hosting and attending face-to-face events. People have a strong desire to build business connections in-person, while still taking advantage of virtual events,” Mr Ayres said. “I congratulate the business event recipients for their contributions to growing the NSW visitor economy, and we look forward to welcoming delegates to the fantastic destinations and venues
across regional NSW.” Managed by Destination NSW, the NSW Regional Business Event Development Fund offers matched dollar-for-dollar funding of grants up to $30,000, and is designed to assist stakeholders create and attract business events for regional NSW while also supporting new business event initiatives. Business event organisers across regional NSW can still apply for grants through an additional round of funding support, which closes today. For more information, go to www. meetinnsw.com.au.
payment be redirected to a fraudulent account. Scamwatch also observed a new type of scam in 2020 that targeted farmers looking for a good deal on tractors and farm machinery. Scammers advertised equipment at prices well below market value, and told farmers that they couldn’t view the tractors prior to purchase due to government restrictions from the pandemic. Farmers made payments to secure these special deals, when in reality the equipment never existed. Farmers were conned out of $1.1 million in these scams. “One thing we know about scammers is that they will take advantage of a crisis,” Mr Keogh said. Businesses were also targeted by health and medical scams in 2020. About half of the $3.9 million in total losses reported to health and medical scams were from businesses, as they attempted to procure personal protective equipment for their staff to comply with government guidelines during the pandemic. Other scam types that impacted businesses
throughout the year included phishing, identity theft and hacking scams. “It is so important for businesses to stay informed about scams so they can protect themselves,” Mr Keogh said. “The ACCC provides a range of resources for businesses on how to avoid scams on the Scamwatch website and in our media releases throughout the year.” Businesses that have been scammed should contact their bank as soon as possible. If the scam occurred on a platform such as Facebook, contact them directly to report it. Businesses can also report a scam to ReportCyber, which is run by the Australian Cyber Security Centre and passes reports to law enforcement agencies for assessment and intelligence purposes. The Small Business Information Network also provides details about new or updated resources, enforcement action, changes to Australia’s competition and consumer laws, events, surveys and scams relevant to the small business sector.
Carrot exports surge to be worth $100m during COVID-19 pandemic
Australian carrot exports rose more than 7 per cent last year to become a $100 million industry. Key points: Carrot exports increased 7 per cent last year to $100 million Overall, Australia’s fresh vegetable exports were valued at $263 million, down 6 per cent Northern Territory growers have also started exporting pumpkins to Singapore While exports of fresh vegetables were down overall in 2020, carrot exports increased in both volume and value. “With hospitality and
the food service sector shutting down in Australia as a result of the pandemic, the exact same situation was happening in export markets,” incoming AUSVEG chief executive Michael Coote said. “Restaurants, cafes, hotels, bars and pubs were all shut down and people were eating from home. “So retail demand went up considerably in a lot of countries, as it did here … and carrots, as a staple vegetable that we use in the majority of the dinners, did too. “The same thing was happening in Singapore, Hong Kong and all of our major markets.”

34 HEALTH
Multi-Purpose Services deliver quality care STAFF at small rural health facilities in the Northern NSW Local Health District have been given a glowing report card by patients, according to the latest survey by the Bureau of Health Information. The Rural Hospital Adult Admitted Patient Survey 2019-20 surveyed patients who attended facilities between July 2019 and June 2020. Results for the four Multi-Purpose Services in Northern NSW, Kyogle, Nimbin, Urbenville and Bonalbo, were consolidated into the overall Northern NSW Local Health District results. Overall, 99 per cent of respondents rated the care they received as ‘very good’ (85 per cent) or ‘good’ (14 per cent). Respondents to the survey praised the staff at the small sites, with 92 per cent saying
they ‘always’ had trust in their health professionals. Ninety-one per cent of those surveyed said the areas they used in the hospital were ‘very clean’, and 93 per cent said the health professionals
were ‘always’ kind and caring. Staff have also been commended for their outstanding communication, with more than 92 per cent of respondents stating that the
right amount of information was given to themselves and their families about their treatment, and 94 per cent said information was ‘always’ explained in a way they could understand.
NNSWLHD Chief Executive Wayne Jones said the results are a testament to the hardworking and compassionate health professionals who care for their local communities. The 2020-21 budget for Northern NSW Local Health District was more than $926 million – an increase of almost $39 million on the 2019-20 budget. Between mid-2012 and mid-2020 the Northern NSW Local Health District increased its workforce by an additional 1008 full time equivalent staff – an increase of 26.7 per cent – including 171 more doctors, 367 more nurses and midwives, and 121 more allied health staff. The record 2020-21 $29.3 billion NSW Health budget includes $8.3 billion for Local Health Districts in rural and regional areas.
FREE MENTAL HEALTH WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS AND CARERS
No freeze on blood donations as police join the Emergency Services Blood Challenge
PARENTS and carers will be able to book in for free mental health workshops hosted by headspace, thanks to a $1.2 million investment by the NSW Government. Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said the workshops will help parents and carers better understand the unique challenges facing young people and learn practical tips, strategies and skills to support them. “These sessions are for any parent or carer who is worried about their child and doesn’t know how to start a conversation about what’s going on in their lives,” said Mrs Taylor. “We’re building a safer, stronger NSW, and these workshops will address local challenges, point the way to local support services and allow the community to ask questions about what they can do to help young people who are struggling.” Headspace CEO Jason Trethowan said understanding suicide will also be a key part of the training. “Many young people have thoughts of suicide when life seems unbearable and they can’t imagine another way out of what they are going through,” Mr Trethowan said. “The vast majority of these young people will not act on those thoughts, but we want parents and carers to be able to talk about such thoughts in a way that doesn’t inadvertently shame the young person or encourage them to stay silent.” The NSW Government is investing $1.2 million over two years for 200 workshops to be delivered across NSW. Parents, carers and community members supporting young people experiencing mental health challenges can register to attend upcoming events by visiting: www.eventbrite. com.au/o/headspace-national-youth-mentalhealth- foundation-30549822220
WINTER is coming and Australian Red Cross Lifeblood has thrown down the gauntlet for all emergency services across Australia to roll up their sleeves and donate much needed blood and plasma during the colder months for the annual Emergency Services Blood Challenge. The NSW Police Force is responding to the challenge with Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb, Commander, Traffic and Highway Patrol, attending the Parramatta Donor Centre to kick off day one of the challenge. “NSW police are proud to be part of this initiative for another year and we hope to move up the leader board in 2021, and of course, save as many lives as possible,” said Assistant Commissioner Webb. “As first responders, saving lives is already in our blood and we know how vital donations can be for people involved in accidents or trauma, as well as those with illness, expectant mothers and newborn babies.” Blood and plasma donation is an essential service and remains absolutely vital all year round, but particularly during the cooler months.” During Winter, demand for blood increases by 4 per cent, however, one in three donors cancel their appointments, causing a seasonal challenge for Lifeblood.
Emergency services across Australia will be competing against each other to make as many donations as possible and help Australians who need urgent blood until the end of Winter (Tuesday 31 August 2021). “Not all heroes wear capes – or even uniforms – anyone can roll up their sleeves and donate lifesaving blood or plasma,” said Assistant Commissioner Webb. “With more patients than ever needing blood and donations, this blood drive is critical in ensuring blood stocks over the winter months.” NSW Police was joined by NSW SES Commissioner Carlene York; Assistant Commissioner Paul McGuiggan and Superintendent Andrew Shurety from Fire and Rescue NSW; Operations Manager Glen Evans from Marine Rescue NSW; Senior Deputy Captain Nathan Barnden from NSW RFS; Jonathan Tunhavasana, Manager Health Relations Western Sydney and Jessica Pearson, Blacktown Hospital Paramedic on behalf of NSW Ambulance; Peter Newington, GM Eastern States, Tony Burchill, GM Partnerships & Business Development, and Lara Neilsen Tender & Proposals Manager on behalf of CareFlight; and Operations Manager Glen Evans and Member Service Manager
Adrian Adam from Marine Rescue NSW. All emergency services will be competing against other teams from across the country for a spot on the podium in one of the five categories: Most donations; Most new donors; Most plasma donations; and Highest year-onyear growth. Key blood donation statistics: • In Australia, a blood donation is needed every 24 seconds; • Nationally, around 1000 donations are needed every week to assist with accidents and emergencies; and • All types of blood donation are needed in emergency situations to help stop bleeding and assist in recovery, with O-negative the universal and emergency blood type. About the Emergency Services Blood Challenge Anyone who is part of an emergency service can join the Challenge by registering a Lifeblood Team, or by joining a team that the service has registered. Once part of a team, any blood product donation made between Tuesday 1 June 2021 and Tuesday 31 August 2021 will be automatically added to the team’s total. Team progress can be monitored throughout the Challenge. The more members in a team, the greater the chances are of securing a spot on the podium.

From the BBC, and co-written by Matafeo and her friend Alice Snedden, Starstruck follows goofy twentysomething heroine Jessie (Matafeo), who finds her life in London turned upside down after a drunken New Year’s Eve hook-up with the attractive Tom (Nikesh Patel), who she later realises is a full-blown movie star. Featuring bristling chemistry between Matafeo and Patel, witty and subversive writing, not to mention one particularly awesome dance scene, Starstruck truly shines.
AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR
FRIDAY
MASTERMIND AUSTRALIA
SBS, 7.30pm
When SBS premiered Mastermind Australia in 2019, it seemed like a gamble. Who wanted to watch a quiz show inspired by the Gestapo’s interrogation methods? But what sounded dark and sombre turned out to be a riveting show, with just the right measure of intensity and levity. Most of all, the incredible and detailed knowledge displayed by the contestants has been enthralling, quickly catapulting the show to one of the most watched on the network. Now, with Marc Fennell having found his groove in the hosting chair, we come to season three’s nail-biting final. Four remaining contenders put their skills to the test: who will be the next Australian Mastermind?

Dairy Quarterly – Returning to normal but risks abound Global dairy prices continue to trade at elevated levels, despite being “stuck in neutral” for the past three months, as the market slowly returns to normal from the pandemic-led channel distortion, according to the latest Rabobank Global Dairy Quarterly report. The report says while underlying market fundamentals remain “relatively neutral”, with dairy demand in the US and China reaching prepandemic levels through retail and foodservice channels, risk and uncertainty still “abound”. And, it says, this is “supporting commodity pricing at elevated levels”. “Farmgate milk prices have been on a higher trajectory journey for most farmers”, the report says, with Australia also on track for a “marginally higher milk price” in 2021/22 in the vicinity of AUD 6.90/kgMS. Despite this positive backdrop, the Rabobank Dairy Quarterly says “global commodity markets are delicately poised”. And while further upside cannot be ruled out, the peak is near. This is largely on the back of an expected softening in Chinese
import demand in the second half of 2021, with the report saying “this should be enough to trigger a price correction in the dairy complex that is likely to occur in the later stages of 2021”. China “has been the primary pillar of price support”, the report says, and as such its import demand will remain “the key demand determinant shaping commodity dairy prices in 2022.” In terms of global supply, dairy supply growth has also been “stuck in neutral”, with Rabobank expecting a modest year-on-year production growth of one per cent during the next 12 months for the Big-7 export regions. This is
below the bank’s previous expectations and the longterm historical growth rate largely on the back of a lacklustre European flush. That said, there are strong growth prospects for the US and New Zealand, as the US herd continues to grow and strong price signals set the “foundations for peak milk flows” in New Zealand. And on an annualised basis, the report says, this should see the combined exportable surplus expand in 2021. While the Dairy Quarterly warns the “global pandemic is far from over”, with the “prevalence of third and fourth waves, new variants, and slow
vaccination rollouts in some regions”, it says the macroeconomic settings are improving albeit the recovery could “lose some steam” as pent-up demand dies out and fiscal support is wound back. Australia The Australian farmgate sector is poised for another season of “sustained profitability”, according to Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey, as nearrecord milk prices are expected in the coming season. “Conditions are in place for Australia’s dairy farmers to again register healthy profit margins in 2021/22,” he says.’ Revising up the bank’s
milk price forecast, Mr Harvey says Rabobank is forecasting a full-year milk price of AUD 6.90/ kgMS in the southern export sector in 2021/22. “We have revised our forecast up from AUD 6.50kg/MS, as market conditions support the recent milk price announcements based on our models,” he says, “with a number of dairy companies announcing second and third step-ups prior to the season getting underway on July 1.” “That said, our modelling suggests there is limited price upside as the season progresses unless the global market and the Australian dollar outperform our expectations.”
Mr Harvey says the “healthy profit margins” come despite the increase in purchased feed prices and home-grown feed inputs. “While higher feed prices are expected to linger well into 2022, these will be mitigated somewhat by the ample availability of homegrown feed in the months ahead,” he said. In terms of milk supply growth, which has expanded by 0.7 per cent in the season to date (as to March), Australian milk production is forecast to expand by 1.3 per cent in the 2021/22 season to 8.8 billion litres. “Yield improvement is key to this growth,” Mr Harvey says, “as milk production remains constrained by low national herd numbers and the hesitation to rebuild herds and expand operations despite attractive prices.” Australian dairy exports also remain strong, he says, despite freight issues and modest milk supply growth, with dairy exports higher across all key commodities compared to the same period in 2019 – and double-digit increases in butter, liquid milk and cheese.

FARMER REBATES BITE INTO MOUSE PLAGUE NSW Farmers welcomes today’s announcement of an additional $100 million from the NSW Government to help farmers battle the worsening mouse plague affecting regional NSW. Farmers will now be eligible for a 50 percent rebate, of up to $10,000, for zinc phosphide bait under the NSW Government’s extension of its mouse plague assistance package. NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin said this is an important step in helping farmers manage the costs associated with this major plague. “The practical support measure of rebates for zinc phosphide was an initiative from NSW Farmers and we thank our many Members for sharing their stories of the widespread impact of this plague,” Mr Martin said. “The Agriculture Minister, Deputy Premier and the Premier have listened and acted. It’s common sense to support the use of an immediately available chemical which carries fewer secondary poisoning and environmental risks than alternatives.” “The mouse plague has
already caused heartache in farming and regional communities, damaging crops, fodder and machinery, and presenting human health risks.” “Warnings from CSIRO and responses to a NSW Farmers survey on the plague indicate
how dire this situation is. It’s the worst mouse plague for some time, and it could easily get worse without adequate intervention. There’s a need to make the rebates available immediately so farmers can control mouse numbers before spring.”

important build on the $50 million already announced by the State government last month, which signified recognition of the problem but had some shortcomings in terms of practical benefits.” “NSW Farmers collaborated with the Country Women’s Association of NSW to highlight the stark need to respond to this crisis. It is promising to see the NSW Government listening to the bodies representing farmers and regional NSW on this issue.” Mr Martin said the situation is ongoing and will require constant monitoring and flexibility in support measures for what could become the worst mouse plague NSW has seen. “We look forward to working with government on behalf of our members and regional communities to hopefully ensure this plague is well under control before spring,” Mr Martin concluded.
The Department of Regional NSW and the Rural Assistance Authority will develop the zinc phosphide rebate framework, including how primary producers will be able to claim the rebate and the eligibility criteria. “This funding is an

LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS URGED TO PREPARE FOR COLD SNAP
As a cold front moves across NSW, bringing with it rain and below average temperatures, Local Land Services is urging livestock producers to prepare for the conditions. Animal Biosecurity and Welfare Business Partner Scott Ison said sudden drops in temperature can negatively impact livestock, however, there are several ways
landholders can reduce the impacts of a cold snap. “We all know winter can be a shock to the system for us, as well as our livestock, so it is important producers are thinking about what they can do to ease the effects on their animals,” Mr Ison said. “If possible, landholders should move their at risk livestock to sheltered
paddocks and increase their feed to meet the extra energy requirements the cold weather brings. “When temperatures drop, livestock need more energy to stay warm, so producers should consider increasing their feeding levels by 10 to 20%, especially if there is rain and strong winds. “Animals that are most at
risk, such as freshly shorn sheep, sick animals, calving cows, lambing ewes and newly born lambs and calves, should be checked regularly while the cold conditions persist.” Agriculture and Plant Biosecurity Business Partner Andrew Lieschke, said the cold snap is also a timely reminder for producers to think about the feed

requirements they will need through winter. “For most, winter to early spring is when the feed gap is most likely to occur, as the days are cooler and daylight is shorter, resulting in slower pasture growth,” Mr Lieschke said. “Understanding your available pasture and animal requirements will allow producers to predict their feed gap and stay as productive as possible through winter.” “Thinking about this now, will allow you to forward plan and make on farm management decisions early. “Ensuring livestock maintain appropriate condition through winter is vital moving into spring lambing, calving or joining, and has a big impact on productivity.” If you would like further advice on managing livestock during cold snaps and winter, please contact your local veterinarian, ag advisor or closest Local Land Services office by calling 1300 795 299.

SUNNY SEASON AHEAD FOR THE NSW SUGAR INDUSTRY
The NSW Sugar industry will kick off the 2021 crushing season with an outlook that can only be described as sunny. The three sugar mills across the Northern Rivers; at Condong, Broadwater and Harwood; will fire into action from the 8th of June, following an intensive off-season maintenance program. The estimate for the overall
crop tonnage is still uncertain following a very wet but warm growing season that including some flooding. The feeling amongst growers is buoyant, with the prospect of their cane price for the season being as high as $37 to $38 per tonne, depending on CCS (sugar content). Chairman and cane grower, Mr Jim Sneesby said: “The
news of a significant lift in cane price, is definitely instilling a positive feeling within the local sugar industry.” Almost 100% of the planned sugar make is already locked into the Sunshine Sugar sales program, with customer orders in place Australia-wide. Sunshine Sugar’s CEO, Mr Chris Connors recently
addressed cane growers to share the positive news, not only in regard to cane price, but also to give an update on the commercial developments made across a number of diversification projects, including botanical water and a gourmet mushroom product – both of which will utilise assets within the cane stalk to produce alternate products and new income streams. “This is an exciting time for our local sugar industry;” commented Mr Connors. “Agriculture is seeing a surge
in interest and the NSW sugar industry can demonstrate a proven track record in being sustainable, providing longterm returns to its growers and a solid plan for future growth; making it an appealing proposition for farmers and investors alike.“ Sunshine Sugar is the only 100% Australian grown, made and owned sugar with a family-farming footprint that stretches from the Tweed to the Clarence and from the coast to Casino.

THE BAMBOOS’ RIDICULOUSLY ENJOYABLE LIVE SHOWS
BANDLEADER Lance Ferguson and his nine-piece Melbourne outfit The Bamboos have come a long way since forming in 2001. Initially inspired by the instrumental raw funk of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, they made waves internationally and were quickly labelled as one of the greatest funk and soul bands of our time. But while many would be
happy to simply soak up the praise and keep on keeping on, The Bamboos have proven that they are more than meets the eye; over five acclaimed albums, their evolution in sound and style has consistently confounded and exceeded expectations, pulling the rug from under the feet of those who like to pigeonhole. 2020 was a momentous year for world-renowned
nine-piece Melbourne Funk/ Soul powerhouse. Not only did they celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band, but they also released their 10th studio album, Hard Up, from which they will be debuting brand new music at Bluesfest. The band have maintained a fiercely loyal fanbase with their unique combination of classic sounds and forwardlooking songwriting, and
vocalist Kylie Auldist can rightly claim to be one of the great soul voices of Australian music. Collecting five ARIA nominations along the way, they have also collaborated with the likes of Tim Rogers, Aloe Blacc, Megan Washington, Alice Russell, Montaigne and Dan Sultan. The Bamboos’ ridiculously enjoyable live shows have seen them perform at pretty much every major festival in the country, including Byron Bay Blues & Roots Festival, Meredith Music Festival, Falls Festival, The West Coast Blues & Roots Festival, Golden Plains, Parklife, Pyramid Rock, The Port Fairy Folk Festival, Days Like This, The Adelaide Festival, The Caloundra Music Festival, The Sydney Festival, Homebake, Splendour In The Grass and Trop Fest. The Bamboos have toured Europe and the U.K three times performing sell-out shows at esteemed venues including The Barbican & The Jazz Cafe in London
and in countries including France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Slovakia, Belgium, Switzerland and Ireland. As the go-to band for tight and heavy vibes, they have also performed as the backing band for international artists including Eddie Bo (US), Syl Johnson (US), Joe Bataan (US), Eddie Floyd (US), Betty Harris (US) and Alice Russell (UK). Their songs have been regularly on playlists of national radio stations in Australia, the UK, France, the US, Japan and beyond. The unshakable charm of their songs has also seen them licensed to hit movies including Crazy Stupid Love, the soon-to-be-released Adore (Naomi Watts & Robin Wright) and TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, CSI New York, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty and Australian shows such as Underbelly, House Husbands, Offspring, Packed To The Rafters. Catch The Bamboos at the Beach Hotel, Byron Bay for free on Saturday, June 26.
Tweed Regional Museum continues national success Tweed Regional Museum’s exhibition celebrating the contribution of the Tweed’s LGBTQIA+ community has won a national award. Small Town Queer received the Australian Museums and Galleries Association award for Temporary or Travelling Exhibition Level 2. It’s the second time the Museum has been recognised by the Museums & Galleries National Awards (MAGNAs) over the past 12 months and acknowledges originality, innovation and best practice in exhibitions, public programs and sustainability projects. Small Town Queer explores the rich tapestry of Tweed’s LGBTQIA+ history from the early 1900s to the present. This digital project includes the Museum’s first podcast series, a story map and an interactive portal for community contributions. The Museum has collaborated with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (LGBTQIA+) and Ally community members to collect, share and preserve the histories of Tweed’s many and varied Queer voices. Acting Museum Director Erika Taylor said the award recognises the Museum’s ongoing work towards ensuring its collections and programs represent all people who call the Tweed home and who contribute to the richness and vitality of the

Coffs comes alive on Make Music Day MAKE Music Day comes to the Coffs Coast this month, with local artists taking centre stage on Sunday 20 June. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said BlackLight Collective secured one of six $15,000 grants being offered, with at least $10,000 going directly to support local artists. “Coffs Harbour will come to life with live music in the heart of our city, in a one-day pop-up program featuring more than 30 musicians,” Mr Singh said. “Make Music Day is a global event and our local artists will get the chance to add their unique voices to a worldwide chorus.” Chair of BlackLight Collective Catherine Reynolds said the social enterprise was delighted to be selected as a grant recipient. “We are dedicated to shining a light on creative talent in the Coffs Harbour community and Make Music Day is an incredible opportunity to come together and celebrate local talent,” Ms Reynolds said. “This funding will help support Coffs Harbour’s vibrant live music scene, while the event will be an opportunity for the whole community to experience how the creative arts can enrich our everyday lives in the most unexpected ways.” Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes and Minister for the
Arts Don Harwin also congratulated BlackLight Collective, which was chosen from a competitive pool of applicants and top local talent. “On Make Music Day, our public spaces will come alive with these incredible performances, which are free and open to everyone,” Mr Stokes said. “I encourage the Coffs Harbour community to support its local artists and attend their event, to enjoy a vibrant celebration of music in their wonderful public spaces.” Mr Harwin said the funding was a fantastic opportunity to support local artists after the music sector was hit hard by COVID-19. “Make Music Day recognises the joy that music brings to our lives, and we are proud to invest in this initiative, which celebrates our local musicians and enables them to showcase their talents and share their sounds as part of this free worldwide music extravaganza,” Mr Harwin said. Make Music Day is part of the NSW Government’s annual Festival of Place, which supports the Greener Public Spaces Premier’s Priority to increase walkable access to new or improved quality green, open, and public space.

GARDENING
SHOWY RAINFOREST TREES AND SHRUBS These four trees/shrubs all have a special beauty in their form, their foliage, their bark and their flowers and fruit. They are attractive in any large garden.
YELLOW ASH, Emmenosperma alphitonioides Yellow Ash is an attractive tree to 15m. It has glossy leaves forming a dense, spreading crown and is a good shade tree. Panicles of white flowers are produced in early spring which are followed by decorative long lasting bright orange fruit. The fruit eventually split and fall away, leaving the bright red seeds on the tree. The bark of the Yellow Ash is silvery-grey, with fine longitudinal fissures and the trunks become covered with lichen from an early age. This is a lovely tree in any large garden and is popular as a specimen tree, windbreak or screen tree. Yellow Ash also has potential for planting in parks or as a street tree. Another positive aspect of this tree, when grown on a smallish block, is that its roots are not invasive. It thrives best in full sun or light shade and prefers sandy or loamy soil. However, it adapts to most soil types and is quite fast growing but prefers some shade and protection
when young. The fruit is attractive to some birds.
TWIN LEAFED COOGERA, Arytera distylis, Twin Leafed Coogera in the wild is found by streams or in seaside rainforests. It is a small rounded tree which can grow to 10 metres but is usually smaller. This tree has glossy green foliage, though its young leaves are bright red making new flushes of growth very showy. Its red or pink flowers appear in spring time followed by hard yellow fruit from late spring to summer. Twin Leafed Coogera prefers well-drained soil with some protection from sun, wind and frost, and does well in coastal situations. It is quite slow growing but very hardy CLEISTANTHUS Cleistanthus cunninghamii Cleistanthus is an understorey shrub or small tree which can grow to 7 metres but is smaller in cultivation. It has an openly-branched crown with a moderately dense canopy. Its thin dark green foliage provides roosting sites for eastern blossom bats. It also provides nesting, resting and hunting habitat for many small birds including scrub wrens, eastern
CLEISTANTHUS Cleistanthus cunninghamii
Brought to you each week by...
whipbirds and eastern yellow robins. Clusters of tiny greeny/ cream flowers - separate male and female - appear in spring time. The round inedible fruit which follows is slightly hairy, orange-red in colour and in autumn it splits explosively to release its seeds. But it is this plant’s reddish new growth which make it a must-have plant in the garden. Cleistanthus prefers full or filtered sun, and is normally found in the wild near water courses in wet or dry rainforest up to 800m above sea level. It is slow growing and does best with some protection from the elements. Occasional deep watering in dry periods when the plant is young will help it do well. WEEPING BAECKEA Baeckea frutescens Weeping Baeckea is an ornamental, woody shrub with weeping branches and tiny needle-like leaves. In Spring and early Summer
YELLOW ASH, Emmenosperma alphitonioides
TWIN LEAFED COOGERA, Arytera distylis
it produces masses of small white flowers making it appear as though covered in snow! Grown en masse it makes a magnificent display. This is
WEEPING BAECKEA Baeckea frutescens
a handsome plant for warm areas and is a good screen plant. The individual white flowers are 5mm across with five tiny petals and are spread along arching stems – very similar to the Native Tea Tree flower. The flowers produce lots of nectar, so are very attractive to bees and other small wildlife. Baeckea is fast-growing and does best in the full sun in a well drained site and will tolerate a mild frost. Occasional watering in long dry periods will benefit this plant which can grow to 6 metres, however light pruning after the main flowering will keep it compact. All parts of the plant are aromatic and it has a long history of use in traditional medicine. Another quality is that it is a very suitable plant for Bonsai.

MOTORING FLASH BACK 53 FLASHBACK - TOYOTA CROWN By DAVID PIKE The Toyota Crown always offered good value for money but never sold in large quantities, unlike smaller Toyota vehicles, compared with comparable Holdens and Fords of tits time. Perhaps its rather bland and conservative looks contributed to this situation for on driving aspects alone it was at least equal to and often better than the competition. The car certainly should have appealed to buyers looking for excellent finish, high comfort levels and solid basic engineering providing they were prepared to accept its tasteful and neat styling. The 1975 Crown was powered by a 2.0-litre SOHC six-cylinder engine which ran very smoothly and was an excellent piece of automotive engineering. Whilst the car had only minimal insulation it never
suffered from mechanical or road noise - always a sign of good design and build quality. Good acceleration meant you could reach 100 km/h in 14.4 seconds but it still gave excellent economy. An average of around 10.5 litres per 100km was achievable when driven conservatively. Many of the Crown’s mechanicals were straight out of the superseded model but as Toyota engineers have usually followed a thorough development programme buyers could be sure that everything worked well. The Crown featured a fairly conventional front suspension system comprising coil springs and wishbones with an anti-roll bar. At the rear, like the Holden of that time, it had a live axle, with coil springs and trailing links. Where the Crown did shine was in the interior. Apart from the dashboard which had an overdone plastic look unlike
1977 Toyota Crown the conservative exterior, the rest of the interior said luxury. Good comfortable seats, an efficient heater with a quiet fan, all the usual and essential instruments and radio made for pleasant motoring. Storage wasn’t overlooked either, with a centre console bin and a combination armrest/glove compartment. The Crown was a quality
motor car which satisfied most owners’ needs for comfortable and reliable motoring. First introduced in Japan in the mid1950s nearly two million of the marque were made up until this model was introduced so most bugs were ironed out in earlier development programmes. Later models continued this trend and there can be little
doubt that in any comparison with similar cars the Crown won hands down when it came to equipment. It had lots of clever little bits and pieces which the Japanese saw as not only standard but essential. In short, the Crown offered remarkable value for money and had a feeling of everlasting solidarity.
BENTLEY CONTINENTAL By DAVID PIKE The Bentley Continental has been described as one of the most attractive and refined motor vehicles ever built and when introduced in 1952 was the world’s fastest saloon. The Bentley was perceived by many as a Rolls-Royce with a different radiator grille and badges yet the manufacturers insisted on promoting it as `The Silent Sports Car’. Silent it might have been but it was far from being a sports car. To improve performance the Bentley Continental had a weight reduction from 1860kg to 1650kg and a change in gear ratios to allow a standard four-speed gearbox to run on a direct-drive top rather than an overdrive. To achieve the weight reduction the entire body was panelled in aluminium instead of the usual steel. Even
the bumpers and seat frames were fashioned in alloy. With around 25mm pared from the prototype’s roofline and a 38mm reduction in bonnet height, together with a new fastback tail design, the target top speed was achieved. At this point in the car’s development the conservative management wavered on whether or not to put this beautiful car into production. Only with solid backing from the Paris agent, who was convinced that the car would sell itself to his clients who had the advantage of miles of fast open roads that were not to be found in Britain at the time, did production go ahead. As it turned out France became the biggest importer. To drive a Bentley Continental in the 1950s was to move into a different world. The reduction in weight made
952 Bentley Continental R-Type. a great deal of difference to its handling and acceleration, but even more significant was the fact that the special bodies were so beautifully built that the Continental’s silent cruising ability was to remain unequalled for more than a decade. Production was divided into five different lettered series, from A to E. In practice there was little difference between an A and a B series, the C-type was
an interim model with the option of automatic transmission on the way to the near-identical D, and E with an enlarged 95.25mm bore engine giving 4.9 litres and an even more relaxed run up to 192km/h. Left hand drive cars using manual gearboxes normally had an excellent steering column change, whereas the right-handdrive manual Continentals felt more like Bentleys of old with
their precise right-hand gear levers. More than any of its contemporaries, the Bentley Continental - with its supreme combination of speed, silence, smoothness, dignity and restrained use of first-class materials fashioned by top craftsman - could aspire to share the title of Best Car in the World with Rolls-Royce.

54 MOTORING ROAD TEST
2021 GENESIS GV80 - ROAD TEST By EWAN KENNEDY
to toss it at bends. You can choose to use a Sport setting but if you feel that way inclined, but we wonder how many owners would do this.
The first thing anyone commented about when they saw this week’s road test SUV - the Genesis GV80 - was its size: “It’s big isn’t it?”. Though it’s almost five metres long and two metres wide, which is large but not exceptionally so, it’s shaped to look bigger than it really is. Bigger is better is often a sales incentive in the SUV field. STYLING Bold is the first word that comes to mind. The front is totally dominated by a huge grille with headlight housings that seem to be a couple of sizes wider than they need to be. Funnily the lights aren’t all that large, it’s just the housings that make them look that way. The rear lights follow the style of the fronts and the tail has a bold centre section. The roof slopes sleekly to the rear and the side windows sweep upwards to give a streamlined look. INTERIOR Inside the bold look continues, but it has a good combination of upmarket class at the same time. Our test Genesis had a luxury package that includes quilted Nappa leather. It had suede on the pillars and dash as well as timber trim on the centre console. There’s space for three adults in the centre row seat, though it’s shaped for two individual seats, with the one in the middle being for occasional use only. The two outer rear seats can be adjusted electrically in the manner that we normally only associate with front seats. Given the size of the vehicle there’s less legroom than you would expect. The front seats are fine but if they’re set back for a tall driver there is barely enough kneeroom for those in the second row. Getting into the third row of seats isn’t easy because of the height off the vehicle off the ground. Again, there’s not as much legroom as we would like.
SUMMING UP Genesis GV80 is a large SUV positively stacked with many features and is sold for tens of thousands of dollars less than European SUVs in this class. AT A GLANCE
Bold shape of the upmarket Genesis GV80 is a real selling point. There appears to be too much emphasis on boot space, which is positively cavernous, resulting in the aforementioned missing legroom.
ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS Our test vehicle was powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine with 279 kW, and 530

Perhaps it’s the sweeping style at the rear that has the third-row seats rather limited for headroom. INFOTAINMENT The very wide infotainment and navigation screen is excellent and simple to see at a glance. Apple Car Play or Android Auto can be easily accessed. Sound comes from 21 Lexicon speakers and Quantum Logic surround sound technology. It is supported by a 14-channel high output external amplifier.
Nm of torque the latter with a very wide spread from 1300 to 4500 rpm. So, the torque is in the rev range that’s being used virtually all the time in normal driving. SAFETY When the driver uses the indicators to signal a change direction the speedometer or tacho shows a picture taken by an outside camera of what’s beside and behind the Genesis at that time. We found ourselves still using the door mirrors, but with more time in the driver’s seat we might come to rely
make a mistake, but also a feature that stops you making a driving error. Try to change lanes into another vehicle and it prevents you from doing so by using the brakes or not replying to your steering. Obviously, you can still get into trouble, but the big Genesis does its best to save you. It almost goes without saying that the GV80 has been awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating. DRIVING Response from the twin-turbo petrol V6 was very quick proving that
with the Genesis unit, we wonder how long before other engineers get theirs up and running? Comfort is very good as the car’s Road Preview Electronic Control Suspension has a forward camera that looks at the road ahead for potholes or bumps. It then quickly adjusts the suspension damping according to what it sees. This further adds to the feeling of being isolated from the outside world. Handling is pretty good for a vehicle of this size and mass though obviously it’s not aimed at the driver who wants

MOTORING ROAD TEST 55
BMW SENDS IN THE ‘CLOWN’ WITH ITS TOP-BILLING COUPE By DEREK OGDEN In the circus that is modern car design, the BMW 4 Series Coupe could well be cast as the clown, complete with a ‘red nose’ and big boots. The maker says it has conceived the new Coupe to stand on its own two feet away from its 4 Series cousins. And to say the BMW M440i xDrive does is an understatement, with a flashy front end that refuses to be ignored. And this is not only reflected in its controversial appearance. In dimensions, too, the new model shifts further away from the model it replaces – length to 4770 mm, wheelbase 2851 mm, width 1852 mm and height 1393 mm. The M440i is the halo car of the range, with the 420i Coupe opening the account at $70,900, plus on-road costs, followed by the 430i Coupe, $88,900 and the M440i xDrive, $116,900, the test car, taking top spot. The specialist BMW M tag is taken up by a standard Sports package incorporating extralarge air intakes at the front and highly contoured apron up the back, while Cerium Grey accents further set the BMW M440i xDrive apart. Underneath is an M Sport suspension, 19-inch M light alloy wheels, knee pads on the side of the centre console and other interior elements specially designed for the car. An M Carbon exterior package can also be optioned. STYLING At first glance, the BMW M440i xDrive front is to automotive design what the bull-nose roof is to architecture. There’s a pugilist’s flattened schnoz with wide nostrils to sniff up masses of cooling air with the shutters open at full fire. The vertical ‘kidneys’ in the centre hark back to the company’s past, with such legends as the BMW 328 and 3.0 CSi with modern touches. The slim LED headlights, with
The latest BMW 4 Series Coupe announces itself with an out-there front end
high beam assist, take up the front of the wheel arches. Behind the bonnet, the car reverts to the sharper sleek lines we expect of a wind-cheating coupe, with curved surfaces, short overhangs, slim pillars long doors and frameless windows. A sleek roofline, and muscular shoulders accentuate a powerful stance and darkened LED rear lights with constantly lit light bars sign off the sporty character of the flagship 4 Series coupe. INTERIOR Standard sport seats and high set centre console envelop driver and front passenger. A newly designed M leather steering wheel, instrument panel and door trim co-ordinate to present a prestige feeling. Rear seats with integral head restraints are specific to each model are designed to accommodate two occupants. INFOTAINMENT A built-in SIM card with 4G connectivity and BMW Connected Package Professional hook into digital services, including the maker’s TeleService, and Intelligent Emergency Call, real time traffic info with hazard warning, Remote and Concierge services. A fully digital instrument display has enough space to take in a section of the navigation map, driver assistance info, or 3-D view of the surrounding
area. A standard head-up windscreen display backs this up with important driver information. Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is on hand, while vehicle software updates are remote over ‘the air’. ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS Two four-cylinder engines, putting out 135 kW / 300 Nm and 190 kW / 400 Nm, respectively, power the 420i and 430i. The M440i xDrive use of a six-cylinder motor upping the output to 285 kW / 500 Nm. All three powerplants are mated with a slick-shifting eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission, with steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. SAFETY The BMW M440i xDrive has a full suite of the latest active and passive safety features, including Parking Assistant Plus with surround, top and side view. It also boasts a wide range of driver assistance aids mentioned elsewhere in this report. DRIVING Two doors and four seats; there’s the first hurdle. The contoured front seats and low roof conspire to cut the door frame to a vertically challenging opening, while the seat backs fold only so far, making the
entrance and exit of passengers far from elegant. When settled in, things improve out of sight for all four occupants. The driver is faced with a pretty standard selection of sports car ‘stuff’, which is no hardship. Instruments and control display is extensive and easy to work with, while the start / stop button has been shifted to the control panel of the centre console. The 4 Series Coupe does offer an optional remote engine start feature. The front seat passenger can take advantage of a large storage space and extra cup holder, and the pair in back, limited head room apart, enjoy ample comfort, topped off by an acoustic glass windscreen, for the longer journey. The tighter roof lines have also cut the boot capacity by 5 litres to 440L. The twin turbo ‘six’ and eight-speed auto tranny punch the BMW 440i xDrive from rest to 100 kilometres per hour in a sharp 4.5 seconds. But that’s only half the story, for the sports coupe is the epitome of well-bred driving manners and fuel economy. For example, the test vehicle clocked fuel consumption of 10.1 litres per 100 kilometres in the urban environment and just 6.4 litres per 100 when let free on the open road. The standard M Sort suspension incorporates specially tuned dampers, while buyers can opt for the Adaptive M suspension with electrically
controlled dampers. While the brakes are sharp, they don’t grab me. However, I suppose pulling up a 1.8 tonne flier calls for high-end operation. In stop-start city stuff they can be a little challenging for lovers of a smooth ride. Standard LED headlamps on the crack Coupe throw a new light on night-time driving. The BMW Laserlight system features adaptive cornering and variable illumination that increases high-beam range to more than 500 metres and follows the course of the road at speeds above 60 km/h. SUMMARY If you can draw the curtains on the opening scene, the M440i xDrive frontal design; or maybe this unconventional ‘overture’ is music to your ears, the rest of the car is straight out of the classical sports coupe repertoire, bum notes – getting in and out, for example - and all. AT A GLANCE MODEL LINE-UP BMW 420i Coupe $70,900 BMW 430i Coupe $88,900 BMW M440i xDrive $116,900 Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges.

58 YOUR WEEKLY LOVE HOROSCOPE Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20
Cancer Jun 24 - Jul 22
This week is proof that stability can be sexy. After all, on June 20, Venus in your compassionate fourth house will sextile Uranus in your grounded second house, easing you into a calm, yet stimulating energy in your love life. However, it’s important not to let meaning get lost in translation, because June 19 is also when the sun in your communication sector will square Neptune in your imaginative twelfth house. Don’t let what seems to be true trump what actually true.
You may feel like the life of the party as this week begins. After all, on June 21, Venus in Cancer will sextile Uranus in your extroverted eleventh house, encouraging you to make fascinating connections with fascinating people. Allow yourself to ease into these connections so that you’re truly ready for the limelight, because, on June 19, the sun in your elusive twelfth house will square Neptune in your ninth house of adventure, which may leave you feeling unsure of where to draw the line. Take on only what you’re prepared for. Leo Jul 23 - Aug 23
Taurus Apr 21 - May 21
You’re in a beautiful position to socialize and get to know a lover as this week begins. When Venus in your communication sector forms a sextile with Uranus in Taurus on June 21, you may even find that talking to someone you like leaves you feeling more connected to yourself. However, as the sun squares off with Neptune in your eleventh house of community, it’s important not to worry too much about other people’s opinions of your love life. Make up your own mind first. Gemini May 22 - June 23
You and your lover may be connecting sensually and spiritually as this week begins. On June 22, Venus in your tactile second house will sextile Uranus in your intuitive twelfth house, which may leave you both understanding exactly what you need. Try not to worry too much about what the “point” of everything is, because as the sun in Gemini squares Neptune in your ambitious tenth house, you may forget to enjoy the present moment while you imagine possible scenarios of the future. Remember that life is meant to be enjoyed, not picked apart.
You and your lover may be connecting over your professional goals as this week begins. On June 22, Venus in your spiritual twelfth house will sextile Uranus in your professional tenth house, encouraging you to mix business with pleasure. However, you may feel somewhat unsettled if things are moving too fast, because, on June 13, the sun in your innovative eleventh house will square Neptune in your intimate eighth house, skewing your boundaries. Remember to protect your limits. Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 22
Socializing and immersing yourself in groups of likeminded people could inspire you beyond belief this week. On June 18, Venus in your extroverted eleventh house will sextile Uranus in your adventurous ninth house, tapping into your desire to join in on fun escapades with friends and lovers. However, you may not feel completely ready to fall for someone, because you’re also focused on your career goals. As the sun in your ambitious tenth house squares off with Neptune in your partnership sector, you may feel unsure of where your feelings stand.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23
This week, you could feel unexpectedly drawn to someone you know through your career relationships. On June 20, Venus in your professional tenth house will sextile Uranus in your passionate eighth house, which may evoke a surprisingly strong connection with a colleague. However, think carefully about what this connection could mean, because as the sun in your adventurous ninth house squares Neptune in your sixth house of work, you may be forgetting other priorities.
Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20
You may find romance in unexpected places this week. On June 20, Venus in your partnership sector will sextile Uranus in your passionate fifth house, you may develop a crush on someone surprising. You may also reignite that spark in a stagnant relationship. However, be cautious of bending the truth too much, because, on June 19, the sun in your practical sixth house will square Neptune in your communication sector, encouraging you and your lover to embellish your words.
Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 20
Feel free to spice things up and try something new in your love life this week. On June 21, Venus in your adventurous ninth house will sextile Uranus in your partnership sector, tapping into your desire to go on a non-traditional sort of date with someone you’re crushing on. Keep an open mind. However, be cautious of red flags, because as the sun in your passionate eighth house squares off with Neptune in your fifth house of romance, you may be conflating obsession with desire.
Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 18
You may feel inspired to get domestic with your lover this week. After all, on June 18, Venus in your productive sixth house will sextile Uranus in your fourth house of home and family, encouraging you to cook together, clean together, and play house. However, you and your lover may also feel the desire to tap into your desires and seek pleasure as the sun in your romantic fifth house squares off with Neptune in your sensual second house. This energy can feel intoxicating, so remember to stay grounded.
Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21
As this week begins, you may feel inspired to show your love through acts of service. On June 23, Venus in your devoted eighth house will sextile Uranus in your selfless sixth house, encouraging you and your lover to surprise each other by doing practical things for each other, like doing the laundry or washing dishes.

wicked, or the good alike when it comes to work. It’s interesting that most modern-day words for ‘work’ or more specifically ‘labour’, originate from the Latin ‘laborare’, which basically meant anything accomplished with struggle and difficulty; even the French word for ‘work’ – which is ‘travail’ stems from a root meaning of inflicting torture or sufferance. Having said this, work is not all doom and gloom, often it’s just all nausea and mind-numbing toeing the line, whilst firmly knowing your place (especially if you find yourself in a good old-fashioned hierarchy) or as one of the most esteemed authorities on management – Peter Drucker, once said: “Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.” Many years ago, it came to my attention that the origin of the word manager and management for good
Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20
You may feel titillated and turned on by romantic conversations as this week begins. On June 21, Venus in your passionate fifth house will sextile Uranus in your communication sector, so don’t be afraid to be a little daring and witty with your rapport. However, there’s no need to take the conversation in a direction you’re not ready for, because as the sun in your protective fourth house squares off with Neptune in Pisces, you may feel sensitive and vulnerable if there isn’t enough trust.
measure, derives from the old Latin ‘manus’, or ‘hand’; and as such, I’ve always thought in the presence of any manager (myself included at times), whether or not this person is quite frankly trying to lend a hand, lift people up, hold people back or just push people down. Sadly, each and every one of us have had experiences with all the different ‘types’ of managers over our working lives; but that said, it’s the ones that manage to occupy this role with their hearts and minds (and not just their hands) that make all the difference. Or as a former manager and mentor figure of mine once said (by way of a Henry Mintzberg line): “Management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet.” That a full-time working week is generally in the ball-park of 38 hours (in some cases considerably more) and the average amount of sleep we ‘gain’ for ourselves is between 49
and 56 hours a week; this doesn’t leave all that much time either side for us to enjoy our lives or be even remotely the people we’d ideally like to be. For whatever reason, there are times in our life when we find ourselves doing a job (which is ironically another word we have for being ‘hit by, or hitting someone else’) that doesn’t always best reflect who we are or what we are even capable of; but we owe it to ourselves to get into a line of work that facilitates and heightens a sense of self, that is in-sync with what we consider to be a personal and meaningful ‘calling’. As the ever-inspiring Maya Angelou once mused: “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”

66 FISHING / TIDES / WEATHER BALLINA This weather is looking quite good for most of this week, but it is predicted to deteriorate the closer we get to the weekend. The close reefs have been producing a few snapper, as well as a few mulloway and a couple of late season long tail tuna. There seems to be some good numbers of live baits in close at present, and this is probably encouraging some of these fish to move into those areas Out on the 32 fathom line there has been a good mixed bag of snapper, flathead and tusk fish. Seven Mile, Angels and Lighthouse beach have been producing some reasonable bream and flathead and tailor. Pilchards, mullet and bonito have all

NSWRL APPLAUDS CASINO RSM COUGARS FOR AWARDS
THE Casino RSM Cougars JRLFC has picked up two awards as part of the NAIDOC week of celebrations hosted by Richmond Valley Council. The club, established in 1976, has won both the Reconciliation in Sport – Club Honour; and the Reconciliation in Sport – Individual Award, for former player Lincoln Close, who has now joined the referee ranks. The awards were handed out at the council’s Black and White Reconciliation Ball in recognition of the work done by the Cougars in bringing everyone together to play at the club, which prides itself on a fun and safe environment. The Cougars were nominated by local Trudy
Lamont. “The Cougars Junior Rugby League strive to build a sense of unity and inclusivity for its players, their families and supporters alike, and hope to contribute to positive and lasting change towards inclusivity in the community,” Ms Lamont said. The NSW Rugby League congratulated the Cougars for their awards. “It’s a fantastic accolade for the club who are doing some fantastic things for their community,” NSWRL Head of Football Robert Lowrie said. “We know how tough it can be out in regional Australia, so this is a wonderful recognition for a great group of people.” The club has been making leaps and bounds
in 2021 with its highest participation numbers in its 45-year history – 330 registered juniors. Those numbers make the Cougars the largest junior club in northern NSW. Of the registered players, 35 per cent identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander while an additional 20 per cent of registered players are female. In a statement, the Casino RSM Cougars Junior Rugby League Football Club said members were proud of what they were creating in the Northern Rivers area. “The club values the fact that anyone can walk through that gate and feel like they belong,” the statement said. “Let’s make sure the Cougars continue to lead the way.”
RESULTS OF GOLF AT THE CASINO GOLF CLUB Tuesday June 8 there were 42 players for the Vets Single Stableford; A Grade was won by Garry Robbins with 40 points from Noel Kinsley with 37 then Jeff Lassig with 34 from Trevor Wood on 33. B Grade was won by Hulky Rankin with 36 from Ian Spencer with 35 on a c/b from Shane O’Connor and then Ron Black with 34. The Ball Rundown went to 29 on a c/b and the NTP’s were won by Hulky Rankin on the 5th, Peter Brophy on the 12th and Peter Hall on the 17th. Wednesday June 9 was to be the final round of the ladies Championships but alas the rain was falling so the final round has been postponed to Wednesday June 16. Thursday June 10 there were 40 in the field for the
Men’s Stableford event; Warren Walker had the best score of the day with 41 points from Ron Porter with 39. The Ball rundown went to 34. Hulky Rankin won the 5th NTP and Zac Innes won the 17th. If you are the last group out on this day, could you please remember to bring the NTP’s in to the Club House when you have completed your game. Friday June 11 the field was small the Winner of the day was Judith McHugh with 33 points from 1st Runner Up Dorothy Willis with 31 then Reinie Kinsley with 28 on a c/b, 28 & 27 points were the flavour of the day with Helen Olive winning the final ball on the first of the 27’s. The only NTP won was the 5th by Loretta Transton.
Saturday June 12 what a great day for a 4 Person Ambrose sponsored by KONNECT (Grant Savins).

SURF CLUB FUNDING
THE Cabarita Surf Life Saving Club will receive $223,687 for upgrades to the club, including a new training room. The Fingal Rovers are also set to receive $44,259 for solar and fit out costs for their kiosk. NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet, Minister for Sport Natalie Ward and Member for Pittwater Rob Stokes announced $16 million in funding, over four years, for the Surf Club Facility Program as part of the 2021-22 NSW Budget to support the upgrade, restoration, or construction of surf lifesaving facilities. Mr Perrottet said the Surf Club Facility Program played a vital role in ensuring our surf lifesaving volunteers had access to the facilities they needed to keep our communities active and safe. “The NSW
Government recognises the critical role Surf Life Saving Clubs play in communities up and down the coast in allowing people to enjoy our world-class beaches,” Mr Perrottet said. “Whether you hit the surf every day or build sandcastles on the sand with your kids this funding will mean our life saving facilities are fit-for-purpose and our volunteers can continue to keep people safe on our beaches.” The additional funding in this year’s Budget comes off the back of $3.5 million being awarded to 29 clubs through the 202021 Program. Grants are valued between $30,000 and $350,000 per project. “These grants will help to increase participation across NSW by creating inclusive and accessible surf lifesaving
facilities,” Mrs Ward said. “I congratulate all the successful applicants in this year’s program.” President of Surf Life Saving NSW, George Shales OAM, said safe, accessible and secure rescue facilities across the State remain a top priority. “Surf Life Saving Clubs are often the hub of communities and our volunteer lifesavers require access to fit-for-purpose facilities so they can focus on saving lives. The funding will allow significant upgrades to surf club facilities to improve access for our 75,000 members,” Mr Shales said. “We have 129 clubs across the State, volunteer surf lifesavers who performed over 2500 rescues, 141,000 preventative actions and 7,000 first aid treatments last year.”

INDIVIDUAL GOLD THREE TIMES IN THE WORLD SURFING GAMES Pictured below: Graham Shearer and Neil Cameron Photographer: Brown/SNSW
Pictured: Sally Fitzgibbons on the podium Photographer: Sean Evans/ISA
by Max Perrott Australia’s Sally Fitzgibbons has made history by becoming the first athlete to ever earn individual Gold three times in the World Surfing Games held in El Salvador. Fitzgibbons first
accomplished the feat in 2008 before earning her second Gold in 2018. 2021 marks her third Gold, which puts her in a category of her own and gives her a boost of momentum ahead of her Olympic debut. “This event has been an unreal platform to test our mental strength,” said Fitzgibbons. “It’s surreal to be wearing the Gold Medal at the end of the week.
“This is a great runway heading into Tokyo 2020. Just competing and seeing all the Olympians get their spots is great. Being on the World Tour we don’t get to surf against a lot of the other Olympians. It’s good practice to go against them and spend time bonding with the rest of the Aussie team. “Surfing has finally arrived
as a global sport. It’s got the recognition now. We are going to the Olympics. It’s cool to have that as a milestone in my career. I want to go as long as I can in the sport because I love it.” France returned to the top of global surfing for the first time since 2017 by winning the overall team Gold medal. Japan took Silver, Portugal
Bronze, Peru Copper. Team Australia finished in fifth place. Byron Bay surfers Neil Cameron and Graham Shearer have finished in runner-up and third place respectively in the Over 65 division at the Volkswagen NSW Surfmasters Titles held at North Boomerang Beach south of Forster.

BALLINA GOLF CROQUET CHAMP By Tonia Dynan
IT is not every day you get to take on the best players in the country, yet alone bring one of them to a tie-break in a state championship. Ballina golf croquet player David Scott is humble about his skills and downplays the fact that he almost took out the NSW Open Golf Croquet Singles Championship in Sydney recently. He is the first player from the district to ever reach the final stage in a state singles gold croquet level open championship. David played his way over four days against 27 other competitors to reach the final and was narrowly beaten by one of the best players in the country - Peter Freer, from Canberra, who has played for Australia. “The first game started at 8am and your last game finished on day one at about 4.30pm,” David said. “There were six or seven games each day. I walked an average of 22,000 steps a day just playing on the
greens.” David lost the first two games in the final and thought, “this is going to be over quick”. “But I managed to win the next two and take it to the fifth,” he said. “I had a tonne of fun. We played for six hours for the five games, so it was tiring,
trying to keep your focus and that’s what I struggled with down there.” During the championship, David and another player from the Ballina Cherry Street Croquet Club, Ray Chapman, attended the NSW Golf Croquet Selector’s Invitation trials and both are hoping to
be selected in the NSW state team to play in the Interstate Shield in Tasmania in September. Ray finished third in the trials and David finished fourth. David was also was the runner up in the Queensland Men’s Open Golf Singles Championships early in the
year. This is also a first for someone to be runner up in both the Queensland and NSW championships in the same year. David says he doesn’t really lose sleep before a competition, but he does dream of the perfect shot. “Every shot in croquet is as important as each other,” he said. “It’s a little bit like chess and playing snooker in my youth, and pool, helps me greatly because you sort of understand how a ball reacts when it’s hit.” Ray said he played golf in his younger years which helped him with his shots. “I also used to play lawn bowls but I’m a strong believer that if you have to take up something, you need the channel your energy on just that,” Ray said. “I like croquet as you play a lot of singles and you make all your own decisions, making your own plays and taking all your own shots. You get your own satisfaction.”
WORN & SIGNED RABBITOH’S BOOTS FOR AUCTION
By Tonia Dynan ONE-of-a-kind footy boots are being auctioned off to raise funds to help indigenous youth on the Northern Rivers. The boots, designed by indigenous artists, were worn, and signed by Sydney Rabbitoh’s players at the recent Indigenous Round in Sydney.
Levi Caldwell runs the Rising Warriors program, which uses rugby league as a foundation to connect with young lads from 15-24 to keep them mentally strong and culturally supported. Money raised from the auction will help finance the program. Levi said due to Covid, the program was recently opened to non-indigenous boys and
the next program would be run with the Casino Cougars Junior Rugby League later this month. “All the money that we raise will be put back into the program and that’s just so if we were to take the kids to a game, or take them camping, the money is there to help them out,” Levi said. “The program is pretty
important as demonstrated in the local area, and Australia in general, Aboriginal people have one of the highest rates of suicide. “We wanted to start something with the guys just to raise awareness and we wanted to use sport. “Sport is like a religion to most young indigenous kids, so we wanted to utilise that as a way
in, to raise awareness with them and work with them.” Footy is obviously close to Levi’s heart as he is also president of the Bundjalung Baygals rugby league club, with “baygal” meaning young adult male or teenager in Bundjalung. “We only go to the knockouts every year,” he said.

decades. A huge contingent of Bobcats faithful gathered at Wherrett Park on Saturday to watch four games played in picture perfect conditions, with each of the two fields making for exciting football. Byron Bay FC travelled down the coast with its men’s championship and premier league sides, each sitting third on the respective points table and arriving confident that the club would return with a maximum three points in each game. The script when to plan in the championship match, with the Rams winning comfortably 3-0 over the bottom placed Maclean outfit. Goals to the Rams went to Will Ennis, Jake Sthpit and Christo Ahyamada Rioja, in a dominant display. The full Maclean Bobcats men’s squad gathered on the pitch for a group photo before the premier league match and in a very sporting gesture, both Byron Bay Rams teams applauded the home club and then joined for a combined clubs photo. The connection between the Bobcats and the Rams is strong and current Bobcats coach Grant (Chelsea)

well and imposing striker Fraser Marsh proving to be a handful for the Rams defence, the Bobcats lifted even further as the excited home crowd sensed a victory. Another goal to Hanlon and one to Haydon McMahon, created an almost grand final atmosphere when the fulltime whistle confirmed an upset 3-1 win to Maclean FC. Coach Chelsea Nelson was complimentary of Byron Bay FC for its contribution to a fast, open and entertaining match. Football returns for all teams next weekend, with Alstonville playing ladder leading South Lismore on Friday night, Rovers and Thistles meeting in the traditional East Lismore derby on Saturday, Maclean heading to Lennox, also on Saturday, Bangalow hosting Goonellabah on Sunday and Byron Bay Rams having the bye. In women’s premier league, Lennox Head have the bye. Friday night games will see Alstonville meet Goonellabah, while Thistles host South Lismore and the
