Mum’s footy fundraiser supports cancer care By Andrea FERRARI OLIVIA Riddel’s football event in support of local cancer patients earlier this year raised enough funds to purchase and deliver a LymphaTouch machine to Mid North Coast Cancer Institute (MNCCI) at Coffs Harbour. The $12,000 medical device helps manage pain and swelling in patients with lymphoedema, a side effect of some breast cancer treatments. MNCCI Breast Nurse Jane Kelly said the Coffs Harbour

FRUSTRATION has been expressed by Coffs Harbour residents to a statement from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) that the refined designs of the Coffs Harbour Bypass interchanges at Coramba Road, Englands Road and Korora Hill reflect community feedback. The new detailed design for the Coffs Harbour bypass, replacing the amended EIS design of 2019, was put on public display in January 2023 inviting community feedback. On 18 September 2023 the Detailed Design Consultation Summary report was released. In its announcement, TfNSW stated the following on its website and in media releases. “We received a strong response to our call for submissions from the public following the release of design refinements in February, with 57 unique submissions and 233 form letter copies, for a total of 290 written submissions. “We also engaged with 171 people and organisations during eight drop-in sessions between January to February. “One of the key themes to come from the community consultation was the desire for simplified interchanges, and these have now been included in the detailed design,” said the TfNSW statement. The TfNSW statement said the detailed design following this consultation would deliver an improved result for the community and road users once the bypass is complete. Speaking as a voluntary member of the Community Consultative Committee for the Coffs Bypass (CCC) and a stakeholder for the

Coffs Bypass Action Group since 2019, Marina Rockett told News Of The Area, “It was not community feedback that drove the changes to the design of the Coffs Bypass interchanges as stated by the spokesperson for Transport for NSW as claimed after the release of the long-awaited Detailed Consultation Summary report in September which took seven months to finalise. “The design has not altered one bit in the September 18 report since its release in January 2023.” Marina said that contrary to what both TfNSW and what the Joint Venture (JV) builders are stating, “there is no way the community had any say about the ‘spaghetti’ design for the Coramba Road interchange”. With a long history of communication with TfNSW, Marina said, ”It is a shame that TfNSW was not honest or transparent enough at the CCC meetings at the end of 2022 to disclose the huge changes they had agreed to with the JV builders to allow proper community discussion prior to the release of detailed designs by the JV builders for the Coramba Road interchange in January 2023.” In her dealings with the community, Marina said locals had believed for years that the design for the Coramba Road Interchange was as detailed in the approved Amended EIS report of 2019. “Surely TfNSW engineers did not have the EIS design so wrong." The refined design as shown in January has moved the interchange further north.

In March this year, Olivia, a mother of two young boys who is also a patient at MNCCI, organised the inaugural Charity Shield Day between two junior rugby league clubs, the Sawtell Junior Panthers and Ballina Seagulls. The family fun day raised more than $10,000 thanks to enthusiastic support from the Sawtell football community.

“This device significantly enhances our options for treating lymphoedema, providing better quality of life for our patients and reducing the risk of serious infections and other complications. “Thank you doesn’t seem sufficient, but we are truly grateful for the donation which will make a huge difference to many of our patients.”

q The refined design now in place for Coramba Road Interchange on Coffs Bypass.

“Though exactly where is difficult to ascertain with different measurements being quoted,” Marina said, with increased gradients and a larger footprint, being two metres higher. “To go south from west Coffs, instead of the EIS design of a direct left hand turn south at the interchange, we now have a design which forces traffic to head north for around 350 metres and do a loop back south which adds an extra two lanes to the footprint area. “It was also stated that the additional travel time with the new loop design for those travelling south from west Coffs and having to travel north then do a loop back down, was five seconds. “That is completely unreasonable,” she said. In consulting with the community herself, Marina said it is widely suspected that the now-approved design for the Coramba Road Interchange seems to be for ease of construction for the JV builders “and will result in extra profits for the overseas companies”. The Coffs Bypass Action Group has spent the last five years voluntarily working for the community. “Our efforts are to get the best possible results for a bypass that is being built so close to residential areas and for the community members who will have to live with the negative impacts of the Coramba Road Interchange for decades after the builders of the bypass have packed up and left town,” Marina said.

Voice Official Pamphlet By Thomas O’KEEFE

AN INFORMED public is essential to a functioning democracy, and with the latest Constitutional referendum imminent, on Saturday 14 October, information abounds. Luckily, there is a succinct and simple way to circumvent the noise and

fairly inform oneself of both sides of the campaign. The Australian Electoral Commission’s (AEC) legal obligations include assembling a Referendum Pamphlet, by now delivered to the postal address of every registered voter, and always available online at https://aec.gov.au/ referendums/learn/the-

question.html. The actual referendum question – to which we must answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ – and the actual proposed wording change to the Constitution, are clearly stated in the Pamphlet. The Pamphlet’s content was composed or authorised by our elected representatives and

senators in the Federal Parliament, those who voted on either side of the original proposal bill, and are fully accountable for their votes on that bill. Both the ‘Yes’ and the ‘No’ sides were given a mercifully short maximum of 2000 words to make their case, more than enough to make the main points of any

COFFS COAST News Of The Area straightforward argument. Every Australian’s democratic duty is to understand the question, the proposed change, and make up your own mind. The AEC’s Pamphlet is unmatchable as the most official, succinct, and nonpartisan resource. Like all Australian ballots, this one is secret – no-one ever has to know what anyone else actually voted, and nobody is

compelled to justify their vote. Given that the Constitution is the highest piece of legislation that exists in Australia, which declares the basic concepts of our country, it is a smart idea to get acquainted with it, especially as we are asked to consider a change to it. No-one need become a Constitutional expert, but it is only 51 pages long – far shorter than the average novel, and clearly divided into sections, all of which are navigable on https://www.aph.gov.au/ constitution. The AEC’s website will also indicate your nearest polling places, visit https://www.aec.gov.au/ referendums/vote/vote-inperson.html.

BREAK-IN HEARTBREAK established by men for the support of men and the wanton vandalism is disappointing to say the least,” he said. “The Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed has over 150 active members at present and being a not-for-profit organisation, the loss of any money affects the operation of the shed which is essentially there for the health and wellbeing of men.” The three break-ins appear to be acts of vandalism and attempted theft. “The first happened on Sunday 1 October where a window was smashed and entry occurred,” Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed Assistant Treasurer Ken Ryan told NOTA. On this occasion a safe was removed which

devastating sight of vandalism and theft.” The operations office had been ransacked with an attempt to gain entry to a safe with an angle grinder which was unsuccessful. Although the safe remained intact, a sum of

money was taken from the donation box which was locked. The office walls and floor had been graffitied and the computers damaged with parts now unserviceable. Three windows in the office were destroyed.

q The first break-in saw the intruders remove the safe containing a reasonable sum of money and a till with the proceeds of sales the previous week.

Entry to the shed by the intruders was by way of a smashed window. “The offenders had obviously been frustrated by not being able to crack the safe and went on a rampage of destruction,” said Ken. “A powder-filled fire extinguisher had been discharged, spraying a white powder over everything in the shed, making for an enormous clean up with the hazard of the extremely fine dust.” The garage sale had to be cancelled, an event which was expected to earn the shed about $1,500. The third break-in was discovered on Monday morning 9 October. Police attended and are investigating. Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed Vice President Robert Houston told NOTA, “It is truly

heartbreaking when you think of the immense value that the shed brings to the community. “It’s unfortunate that the shed has been broken into not just once, but three times within two weeks. “This is especially disheartening since the gain to whoever committed this offence was minimal. “The damage they inflicted was purely an act of vandalism, and it isn’t easy to understand how anyone could derive any pleasure from such an act.” It is going to take months for most members who attend the shed to relax and not worry about the possibility of another break-in. “Personally, I will be opening the shed with a sense of apprehension, wondering if we are going to find it has happened again,“ said Robert. q Members of the Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed begin the unexpected task of clearing up their shed after three break-ins of wanton vandalism and theft.

contained a reasonable sum of money together with a till with some money which was the proceeds of sales the previous week. “The offenders also broke into the key cabinet and removed all the keys which necessitated a locksmith to replace all the door and gate locks.” Break in number two took place on Saturday 7 October. “Members of the Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed arrived at the shed at 7:00am to conduct their monthly garage sale which has been beneficial to the shed and the Coffs Harbour community,” said Ken. Arriving at the shed, they found the shed utility had both front windows smashed and the vehicle had been pushed into the centre of the car park. “On entry to the shed, they were confronted with a

THE City of Coffs Harbour Council unanimously adopted the Coffs Harbour Movement and Place Strategy at its meeting on September 28. The strategy provides an action plan for the next 20 years to improve walking and cycling networks, bus services, and the City’s roads and streets to contribute to a better place to live, work and play. The development of the strategy was conducted in collaboration with Transport for NSW and other state agencies. One of the main priorities in the strategy is seeking funding opportunities for more footpaths and bike paths. “This strategy has been developed to ensure that Coffs Harbour remains one of the most desirable places in the country to live, work and visit,” City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos said. The strategy sets out several goals, called the ‘10 Big Moves’. These include improving the City’s walking and cycling networks and public transport services and providing better streets. It also includes connecting the City’s key precincts and growth areas and its communities as well as linking and protecting its network of open spaces and waterways. Ian Fitzgibbon, acting City of Coffs Harbour Director of City Planning and Communities, said, “This is the start of a journey for the City. “We want to make it safe and convenient for the community to walk, cycle or catch a bus, where kids can scoot to school, and the elderly can easily get around.” “This strategy provides a shared vision and

direction to change the way the City’s places and transport networks are designed, planned and delivered in order to deliver maximum benefit for the community and visitors.” While many people might agree that the aims of the strategy are praiseworthy, not all residents agree. The Movement and Place Strategy is available on the City of Coffs Harbour website. It provides current data about the demographics of the City and predicts challenges that face a growing city in which not everyone owns a car and that access to transport affects social equity and health.

The Strategy identifies three liveability improvement priorities across the Coffs Harbour LGA of quality of public space (footpaths, verges, parks etc.), access and safety of walking, bike riding and/ or public transport and walking/jogging/bike paths that connect housing to shops, parks etc. It states that its goals are for transport systems that better support vibrant and inclusive places, an active, safe and healthy community, a thriving and sustainable local economy, liveable neighbourhoods and a natural environment that is sustained into the future.

Local surfboard maker inducted to International Hall of Fame By Andrea FERRARI

“INCREDIBLY rewarding” is how legendary local surfboard maker Mitchell Rae describes being inducted into the International Surfboard Builders’ Hall of Fame. “I am truly honoured,” Mitchell told News Of The Area. Mitchell is the owner of Outer Island Surfboards based in Raleigh industrial estate. The presentation takes place at Surf City in California on Saturday 14 October. He’s taking four boards with him. “Two of them are my trademark flex tails, for which I am well known. “One is my original design which is inspired by George Greenough’s flexible spoon kneeboards. “He is the ‘Godfather of Flex’ amongst many other innovations within the framework of modern surfboard design. “The second flex tail design is one which I call the Zen Blade. “It contains the sum total of all the various design elements I have developed over the last 30 years. “It is a composite construction which uses three different types of carbon

fibre, married with high-end cross linked epoxy resins and flexible rubber foam. “They function like a dolphin’s, tail delivering drive and whip, with a slingshot effect.” Equally key is the variable curve, said Mitchell, which “means that the board can actually change its lines while you’re riding it”. The other two boards are models he calls ‘Coral Reefers’, a broad range, semigun design perfectly suited to the long point breaks of northern New South Wales and Queensland and

particularly well suited to the perfect waves of Bali. When he moved to the Coffs Coast in 2000, he set up residence with his family in Urunga and built a home out at Hungry Head. “I rented premises down at Scotts Head for four years before shifting up to Raleigh industrial estate. “I’m no stranger to country living on the Mid North Coast as I lived out at Nana Glen from ‘73 to ‘78.” He’s been building surfboards under the Outer Island label since 1969, having become a professional board builder in the mid1960s. The Surfboard Builders Hall of Fame honourees include surfing royalty and legends of the surfing world such as Duke Kahanamoku, Dick Brewer, Dale Velzy, Rabbit Kekai, Greg Noll, Lance Carson, Billy Hamilton and Gerry Lopez. “Along with my peers Bob McTavish, Mark Richards, Dick Van Straalen and others,” he said. New Hall of Fame inductees are nominated by former inductees. His old friend Dick Van Straalen was inducted in

2022. “We have been friends since the late 60s and I’ve always admired his original approach to shape and design. “He has shaped boards for a long list of household names, including former world champion Peter Townend and the legendary Michael Peterson. When Mitchell phoned him to congratulate him, Dick

said, “I’m pretty excited about it but hey here’s the thing… you’re next.” Dick had nominated Mitchell for the 2023 inductions. “I’ve had an uncompromising approach to quality through all these years, and I’ve stayed true to my ideals… resisting offers to commercialise, to go to a large scale.

“I think it’s fair to say that my main contributions to the art and science of surfboard building are my pioneering work with deep concave, bottom designs, and my longtime quest for flex.” For more information follow Outer Island Surfboards on Facebook and instagram @ outerislandsurfboards.

National Water Week events highlight our most important resource By Andrew VIVIAN “THE Bureau of Meteorology has declared that Australia is experiencing an El Niño weather event,” says Andrew Beswick, Director, City Infrastructure for the City Of Coffs Harbour. “We are anticipating hot and dry conditions over the coming months and some North Coast residents are already feeling the impact.” This is patently true for Coffs Coast residents who rely on tank water, with water cartage contractors booked solid for the month. The City invites residents to celebrate our most precious resource at free workshops, screenings and guided tours as part of National Water Week which runs from October 16-22. The program is designed to connect the community

to local waterways and encourage waterwise practices at home, and in the garden. National Water Week aims to inspire individuals, communities and organisations to build awareness around the value of water. This year’s theme is ‘United by Water’. “Events like this help us all focus on what we can do to better conserve water every day,” Mr Beswick said. Residents who cannot attend an event are encouraged to inspect the special water-wise flower beds that are being installed in the CBD this Spring. The plantings are an initiative of the City of Coffs Harbour and Coffs City Centre and the flower beds are designed to showcase flower varieties that thrive

National Water Week events include a Waterwise Gardening Workshop that introduces the knowledge and skills to create diverse and resilient water-wise gardens that thrive all year round and a screening of the documentary ‘2040’ which presents a hopeful vision of the future by exploring the innovative solutions to climate change that already exist. The Coramba Rainforest and Orara River Guided Tour provides an opportunity to learn about the ecological significance of the rainforest, while walking through beautiful old-growth trees down to the Orara River, an important water source for the region.

Man in court over alleged drug supply and firearms offences A MAN appeared in court this week charged with alleged drug supply and firearms offences following a crash near Coffs Harbour. About 12am on Tuesday 10 October 2023, emergency

services were called to the Pacific Highway, North Boambee, following reports of a single-vehicle crash. At the scene, officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District located an

unattended Volkswagen Passat, which appeared to have been damaged in a crash. Police located a 32-yearold man nearby, uninjured, who police will allege was

driving the Passat. During a search of the vehicle, police located ammunition. More ammunition, along with 32kg of cannabis and a firearm, was located by officers nearby. These items were seized to undergo forensic

examination. The man was arrested and taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station, where he was charged with supplying a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug, possessing a shortened firearm without authority, possessing a loaded firearm

Bellingen’s water quality testing is back By Andrea FERRARI BELLINGEN Shire Council has announced its ongoing participation in the NSW Government's Beachwatch water quality testing program for a second consecutive year, aligning with the summer swimming season. The published results from the test are available to residents and visitors. Council will facilitate the testing of bacterial levels, including indicators of faecal pollution and water quality results that will be made available weekly on the Beachwatch website.

Users search for their respective town within the Shire to access the latest results. Beachwatch signs with QR codes to the latest test results have been erected at each of the testing sites. The testing locations remain the same as last year: Never Never River – Arthur Keough’s Reserve, Bellinger River - Lavenders Bridge, Bellinger River Mylestom tidal pool, North Beach - Surf Club, Urunga Lagoon - Urunga Lido, Hungry Head Beach - Surf Club and Dalhousie Creek Surf Club.

Shire Council's Biodiversity Officer, said, “Our findings from last summer's waterhole testing have highlighted significant fluctuations in water quality. “We observed poorer results following periods of heavy rainfall, a predictable and expected outcome. “However, pinpointing additional sources of water pollution, whether from wildlife, agriculture, sewage, pets, human activity, or urban runoff, relies on our continuous monitoring and data comparison over the years." Council has established protocols for addressing poor water quality as part of the Beachwatch program including timely notification to the public on Beachwatch and Council's websites within 72 hours of sample collection and ongoing re-sampling until site quality improves, possibly at alternative locations to pinpoint pollution sources. Bellingen Shire Council states that managing water quality in the Shire is a collective responsibility. “Visitors to recreational water sites are encouraged to ‘go’ before you go, remove all rubbish when departing, and clean up after their

This seminar will feature Bellingen local Thea O'Connor, a wellbeing and productivity advisor and coach, and a TEDx speaker on menopause in the workplace. Deputy Mayor Cr Jo Cook told News Of The Area, “Menopause is a significant life transition for women everywhere. “It is important that women understand how menopause can impact mental health, and it's essential that individuals going through this phase and their loved ones have access to information and support. “We are proud to host this seminar to empower our community and the staff at Bellingen Shire Council q Menopause expert and Bellingen local Thea O’Connor with knowledge and will cover various aspects of menopause and mental health. resources.

By Mary KEILY THE Taranta Festival in Bellingen, to be held 2-5 November, will feature a combination of street theatre and a flash mob created by Giri Mazzella, Artistic Director of the Zany Zanni Street Band, who will work with youth from the Bellingen Home-schooling Group. Through a grant from Arts Mid North Coast and the NSW Government, Giri is rehearsing with about ten children to present two Commedia Dell’Arte street performances and for the kids to act as MC’s for this festival celebrating Italian and Mediterranean culture. Giri has a background in community arts and is keen to use his experience to create an Italian carnival with masks, action and noise to link up to the festival. The children have already been involved in drama projects themselves and now are excited about getting into bigger and better things. Costumes need to be made and the youth need to learn the skill of how to wear a mask and engage with the public. “With theatre and the performing arts, the benefit for the children is that it helps them with every aspect of being an alert, intelligent, responsible human being in society,” Giri told News Of The Area.

“When challenges come up, they have to come up with solutions. “When performing in front of people, they have to learn routines, language, musical items, and the skills of performing and presenting in public.” Look out for Giri, he plays the character of a sleepy old uncle. The Festival opens on Thursday 2 November at the Bellingen Memorial hall with a night of Playback Theatre, an art exhibition launch and more. There will be workshops in traditional Italian theatre, drumming, folk dancing, preserving, ancient Italian food growing methods, group singing, plus a long lunch and a sharing circle for bilingual families on the art of keeping language alive. The newly-formed multicultural ensemble Orchestra Diaspora will debut and the Southern Italian electric folk band Rustica Project will come up from Melbourne to wow the crowds. The main performances and activities are on Saturday 4 November in and around the Memorial Hall and on Sunday 5 November at the Showgrounds where there will be music, pasta making and feasting.

Elder Abuse Prevention Collaborative focuses on awareness and education By Andrea FERRARI

THE Coffs Coast Elder Abuse Prevention Collaborative held a very productive morning with service providers on Thursday 5 October at the Coffs Harbour CWA Office. The re-established Collaborative member groups are Healthy North Coast, Coffs Harbour Older Women's Network, Mid North Coast Local Health District, Coffs/Clarence Police, EACH Care Finders, Coffs CWA, BlueSky Community Services, Seniors Rights Service, Booroongen Djugun and City of Coffs Harbour. Judy Bartholomew will serve as Chair. The aim of the morning was to introduce the Collaborative’s members to each other and to discuss the development of a local directory of relevant contacts to assist older people in the community who may have concerns around psychological, financial, physical or sexual abuse or neglect. Knowing that fear can be a major issue for older persons reporting incidents or seeking help, the Collaborative members understand this needs to be addressed as well as increasing knowledge of who older people, or community members, can ask for information and/or advice.

q Coffs Coast Elder Abuse Collaborative members at the initial Serviced Providers Elder Abuse Awareness morning tea in Coffs.

“Abuse of older people is very much underreported in our community, and it has a huge impact on families and their older persons wellbeing,” a spokesperson from the Collaborative told News Of The Area. “Education is key to knowing what elder

abuse is and how to respond, so training of service providers and providing awareness sessions for the general community is vitally important.” The collaborative will be holding a community event on 29 November as an

initial awareness education opportunity for older persons in our community. For further information, please contact Judy Bartholomew on 0439 568 072 or email jbartholomew@hnc.org.au.

needed support services and social connection programs. AWWNSW’s ‘Buy a Widow a Coffee Campaign’ will run over the course of October for the Australian public to purchase a virtual coffee for a war widow in NSW. Since a large majority of the AWWNSW members are located in regional and rural communities, this meaningful donation will offer the widows in these locations the opportunity to connect with their local War Widow’s social club and enjoy a coffee amongst friends who have a similar lived experience to them. The donations, starting at $5, will be shared with the members of AWWNSW. To buy a coffee, go to https://buy-a-widowa-coffee.raisely.com/ The limited-release wattle lapel pins of support are available for $10 each. The wattle represents Australian resilience, strength, and remembrance, the qualities so often displayed by Australia’s war widows. The wattle also is in remembrance of the tradition of World War I, to press and send wattle to the wounded and to bury with fallen soldiers. You can purchase your wattle pin by visiting the War Widows website at https:// warwidowsnsw.com.au/.

AUSTRALIAN War Widows NSW (AWWNSW) has launched its annual fundraising campaigns, the Buy a Widow a Coffee Campaign and Lapel Pin Fundraiser, ahead of War Widows Day on Thursday 19 October. With one in five households connected to defence, this second-ever War Widows Day in NSW will pay tribute to the 15,000 war widows of the past and today, and acknowledge the important role they play in Australia’s defence system. Renee Wilson, CEO of AWWNSW told News Of The Area, “War Widows Day is just so special to our members, particularly those in the area of Coffs Harbour. “When I visited them last year, I could see how much it means to them to be seen and recognised by their community. “Up until now they have felt forgotten and left behind. “War Widows Day is an important day because as a community we can say thank you to them and recognise all who’s loved one has passed as a result of their service for their sacrifices.” The two fundraising campaigns are aimed at Aussies across the country with all funds raised assisting in the delivery of much

Coffs Harbour Show brewing a big birthday bash By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Show will celebrate its 110th year anniversary with a new committee and revised show dates of 26 – 28 April 2024. “We are very excited to be moving forward with a mix of young enthusiastic and older experienced members on the committee to hold a fabulous birthday-themed show in 2024,” President of the Coffs Harbour Show Society, Alice Rehwinkel told News Of The Area. A previously mooted date for October 2023 became impossible to fulfill for this major event owing to complications with the supply of electricity and signingoff building works to the Showground’s new Exhibition Hall. “Unfortunately, the inability to be sure of completion dates of available facilities made planning a

2023 Show too difficult, as areas of the Showground were essentially a building site with restricted access. “Therefore we are happily anticipating a renovated Exhibition Hall and a solid working relationship with the Showground Management, who have been very supportive throughout this difficult time,” said Alice. With the 110th year in mind the committee is keenly encouraging any locals who have memorabilia from past shows to share their treasures for a potential display of its history. Alice introduces the new Show Society committee: Secretary Shannon Marsh, Treasurer Lorraine Tibbs, Vice President Rob Bradford, Assistant Secretary Jackie England and Assistant Treasurer John England. “Our committee and Show Society members are a mix of seasoned knowledgeable and

young enthusiastic members,” said Alice. Looking at fresh ideas for the show, there are plans to celebrate the multiculturalism of Coffs Harbour with cooking demonstrations and entertainment. A fresh emphasis on the agricultural events will see cattle, poultry, equestrian and other livestock shows and competitions. Old favourites such as the Cat Fanciers competition and the ubiquitous wood chop will be back. “The Coffs Harbour Show is delighted to once more be part of the Young Women Competition,” added Alice. “We invite girls aged 1225 to join us in this exciting endeavour.” There will be a complimentary session dedicated to equipping participants with valuable skills in resume writing, public speaking, and

interview techniques. Following this, entrants will have the chance to showcase their newly acquired skills in a simulated interview setting. Additionally, there will be an official event to introduce each participant to the local community. As an added bonus, participants will gain an

The idea is to unite to break down the stigmas, debunk societal expectations and promote positive mental health. This might include taking time out from these imposed pressures, by “getting out and about for a walk, run or swim, catching up with a friend or family, playing with your

When tummies roar, the Lions Club BBQ fires up By Andrea FERRARI

HUNGRY people in Coffs Harbour filled their tummies on October’s Labour Day public holiday, a day traditionally uncatered to the hungry. Feeding those who do not have access to food kitchens on public holidays is a new venture for Coffs Harbour Lions Club, whose members are keen to stave off starvation for the vulnerable around the city. The Club is a big

supporter of Pete’s Place and the Neighbourhood Centre. “After our visit to Pete’s place in July, where we served fresh salad rolls, we decided we wanted to do more to help,” Coffs Harbour Lions Club Secretary Rosemary Hansen told News Of The Area. “We decided we would like to help the hungry on public holidays when none of the services are open to feed the hungry.” They shared the

idea with management at Pete’s Place and the Neighbourhood Centre, and both support organisations agreed it was a great idea. “We decided to do a sausage sizzle in Coffs’ Rotary Park on Monday 2 October and see how we went,” said Rosemary. “We served sausages and onions and made some fresh muffins, cakes and brownies.” To promote their free BBQ, Lions Club folk put flyers around both the

centres. “On the morning, one of our members went around to the back of Pete’s Place to let them all know we were serving up in the park. “We served approximately 40 people who seemed grateful we were around. “One gentleman came back for his fourth sausage and said, ‘please can I have another one, I am so hungry’. “The homemade cakes

and muffins were a real hit with all of them being eaten.” For Coffs Harbour Lions Club BBQ team it was a very rewarding experience with only the effort needed to cook a BBQ. “We will certainly do this again on a public holiday and we hope the next one will be on Boxing Day,” said Rosemary. The leftover sausages were cooked up by the Lions members and two full

trays of sausage casserole were delivered hot to Pete’s Place on Tuesday at lunch time. The Lions thank the businesses which donated bread and sausages for the day. “If you think you would like to help our community, you are welcome to join our Lions club.” Please call Rosemary for more information on 0433 994 383.

Volunteers put their time where their hearts are By Andrew VIVIAN

REGARDLESS of the outcome of the Referendum about a Voice to Parliament, a tired but proud group of local volunteers will have spent almost six months campaigning for a Yes vote. The ‘Coffs and Surrounds for YES’ group is one of 266 volunteer groups across Australia, totalling more than 40,000 volunteers, including groups in the Cowper electorate in Woolgoolga, Bellingen, Nambucca Valley, Kempsey and Port Macquarie. Formed only in late May, the ‘Coffs and Surrounds for YES’ group now has almost 370 members drawn from all walks of life and a range of political persuasions. Many of the volunteers had never participated in campaigning before, but were drawn to the cause because of their passion for social justice or their personal connections to First Nations people. They ranged from medical professionals, who door knock on their day off, to parents of young children, who take their kids letterboxing, and fulltime professionals spending evenings calling voters to

offer information about the referendum, or staffing information booths at markets on weekends. There is also a healthy scattering of the recently, or not-so-recently, retired who have been active in multiple ways, including handing out how-to-vote leaflets at the Norm Jordan Pavilion for early polling. Anita Tang, convenor of the group, said, “As volunteers, everyone has contributed how and when they can, fitting it around our caring duties, jobs or other responsibilities. “We’ve all been juggling our time to support the Yes Campaign because we recognise this is a once-ina-generation opportunity for recognition, listening and better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. “We’ve also been privileged to receive support from Gumbaynggirr elders such as Aunty Bea Ballangarry and community leaders including Alex Webb and Clark Webb from Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation and the Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School.

I know our volunteers were proud to have been part of a OneMob Radio Big Breakfast about the Referendum, and to have been invited by Galambila Aboriginal Health Service to hold an information stall at its recent 25th anniversary celebration.” Sue Seaton, Coffs Harbour polling booth coordinator, said, “There is no doubt that social media stories, some media outlets and politicians have run wild and free with the truth, deliberately polarising this Referendum. “During the early voting, as throughout the campaign, we’ve maintained a positive and respectful attitude towards everyone, and made sure that we’re there to help voters in whatever way they need, even looking after their dogs while they go inside to vote.” The enthusiasm of the volunteers has enabled information stands at the markets and other locations for almost three months, raising awareness and providing factual information about the Referendum to local residents. Alison Nash is at a CBD stall every Saturday.

“I can only volunteer on weekends as I have a full time job,” she said. “I’ve never done anything like this before but I feel passionately that recognition through a Voice will not only help redress past wrongs but will also be a means to celebrate and honour the rich cultures and insights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.” A number of volunteers have extensive experience working with First Nations communities, including around reconciliation, selfdetermination and cultural heritage. “I wanted to be involved

in this group because I believe that Aboriginal people in our community need to be better heard by elected representatives at every level of government,” said Pauline McKenzie. “It seems so obvious to me that decisions will always be better if made with input from the people directly affected.” Health care professionals are particularly strongly represented amongst the volunteers. “It makes sense that those of us who work in health care would become involved in supporting this issue,” said Dr Natalie Woo, a local

emergency doctor. "As clinicians, we see the significant disparity in health outcomes between Indigenous and nonIndigenous patients. “But, when health programs are designed in collaboration with Indigenous patient’s voices, they produce far better outcomes. “It is from this experience that we know that the Voice can and will make a practical, real difference in health care." The volunteers will be out again at Coffs Coast polling booths on Saturday, October 14.

Seeding ideas for Gardening Week By Andrea FERRARI

GLOVES on, trowels to the ready, National Gardening Week is upon us. From Sunday 15 until Saturday 21 October, gardeners and gardening enthusiasts are putting on events and opening their plots for the community to

explore and enjoy. “National Gardening Week is for everybody, all ages, as well as organisations, businesses, local communities and schools, and it is a week to celebrate the joys of gardens,” Mary Davis from Coffs and Woolgoolga Garden Clubs told News Of The Area. The motto of Garden Clubs

of Australia is ‘Friendship through gardens’ and for this dedicated week the purpose is ‘to extend the culture of gardening into the wider community for the benefit of all citizens’. Mary is keenly promoting the wonderful wider world that emerges from wandering, wending and working in the

that motivates you to seek a particular plant or herbs for special dishes, natives to attract birds, or to indulge the senses with very fragrant flowers. “When at the end of the day or maybe for a couple of hours in the morning you sit in the garden with a cuppa or a cool drink there comes a sense of peace and achievement. “You may have observed a honeyeater or a family of wrens or native bees ruffling the stamens of flowers, or you might enjoy walking a visitor around your garden to admire any manner of Mother Nature’s workings.” Whether your garden is small, medium or large, Mary says people find methods of maintenance that suit the time they can give to their garden. Even the benefit of weeding outweighs the chore of the job. “Weeds are compost material and there is great satisfaction in viewing neatness when they are gone. “A lovely garden is an asset when you come to sell but it is the gardening friends you farewell that cannot be potted up, so invite them often to see your next new garden

Coffs and Woolgoolga Garden Clubs suggest the following ways to celebrate National Gardening Week. Take a walk in your local park or in Coffs’ great Botanic Garden where you may ride on the people mover while admiring the native and exotic trees and shrubs. Take time to smell the roses. Pack a picnic to share with family and friends. Throw a garden party or invite friends for happy hour or an alfresco barbeque. Visit your local garden centre and select a tree or shrub for your garden or buy some vegetable or flower seedlings for the children to plant. Join your local garden club to learn more and make new friends. Phone Coffs Harbour Garden Club on 0407 516 102 or Woolgoolga Garden Club 0413 883 831.

STILL winner announced By Andrea FERRARI

DARWIN-BASED artist Alana Hunt has been announced as the winner of the STILL: National Still Life Award 2023. Announced at the exhibition’s opening event on Saturday 7 October at Coffs’ Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM), Alana Hunt’s winning work ‘… and fled swiftly (i and ii) 2022’ is a photographic digital print awarded the prize of $30,000. Unable to attend the opening night, Alana said, “It’s wonderful to be in a cohort of so many other artists sharing our work in a regional place.” She said that winning the award means “one more year of the economic puzzle of how to be an artist is solved”. “It will allow me to keep working. “To keep thinking. “And to keep making.

“And for that my sincere gratitude,” she said. “I look forward to seeing the other works in the show very, very soon.” STILL 2023 guest judge Max Delany, the CEO and Artistic Director of Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, said the winning artwork, a photographic print “is at once banal in its everydayness, and remarkable, and slowly arresting, in its attention to detail”. “The analogue 35mm film and black and white treatment speaks to the historical record, whilst its lo-fi, informal production values and informal framing speaks to the casual, cavalier nature of the mining camp and its culture of extraction, detritus and abandonment,” he said. “It was a rewarding albeit challenging process to determine the award

cannot be achieved under our existing structure of government. What could a group of 24 selected, not elected, elites from the city do? But Albo has been deaf to the issues that have been raised. What is needed to eliminate “disadvantage” is listening - to the voices that are already there – the NIAA and the hundreds of other Councils and assistance organisations. He should listen to people like Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, the shadow Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, who knows the issues first hand. She would audit and

demand accountability for the generous reported $40B that is currently spent every year on Aboriginal welfare and programs. That would bring results! The question of Aboriginal Recognition has been conflated with the question on the Voice. So sadly we don't get an opportunity to approve it, as most of us would. Conversely the Voice would be a pox on our society. It would make the business of government unworkable. It would divide us and also entrench the “disadvantage” of the Aboriginal population in our Constitution forever. Albo might have got his referendum up if he had

limited the Voice to dealing with only the Parliament, and regarding legislation pertaining to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples only. But the Referendum question presented to us is much wider than that. Finally – Albo is asking us to give him the right to determine the powers of the Voice. Those powers should be spelled out in the Referendum question. No blank cheques Albo! You have shown us repeatedly that you cannot be trusted. So we must vote No on Oct 14.

We are not racist for voting No DEAR News Of The Area,

I WOULD reply to Dianne Hendry – (NOTA 8.9.23) because I am not a ‘hater’. Your diatribe aimed at those who would vote No was deeply offensive. It is because we have thought deeply about the issue, that we have concluded we must vote No. The proposal is primarily racist - as it would confer special privileges on one group of Australians, based entirely on their ethnic heritage. That flies in the face of our Constitution, which stipulates the equality of all Australians. It would divide us in a way we have not

been since 1967. Albo has been less than truthful about the Voice, about what the Voice can do and what it cannot do. He won't answer the most basic questions about how it would work, because he knows that if he did, we would not support the idea. Albo said on election night last year that he would implement the “Uluru Statement from the Heart in full”. It means that, if passed by us, the Voice would be followed by Treaty (with reparations!) and Truth (changing historical facts!). Yet Albo is still trying to pretend that the Voice will only be an advisory body -

that's dishonest! Because he can't tell us the truth, Albo is trying to get us to vote on the vibe, the emotions. He says it's the “decent” thing to do, he's trying to put moral blackmail on us by implying that we are bad people, that we are somehow less caring, somehow less intelligent or even racist - if we don't vote Yes. Clearly Dianne, you have bought Albo's vibe, but you have no place to call us haters just because we won't buy the blackmail. Despite all the rhetoric from the Yes camp, we have heard nothing to explain how the proposed Voice would achieve any outcomes that

QUOTA pays tribute to Pauline Cahill By Andrea FERRARI A MORNING tea was held recently to celebrate Pauline Cahill, a treasured member of QUOTA Pacific Coast who passed away in March 2023. QUOTA hosted the tea at Shearwater Lodge with members of the Board attending to share memories. Welcoming guests, QUOTA’s Di Egan spoke about Pauline’s willingness and hard work as a quiet achiever. “Pauline was an enthusiastic, hard worker, becoming involved in the club’s fundraising and community activities from the moment she joined us in 2012.

“She brought a quiet, calming influence at our meetings. “We will miss her friendship,” said Di. Warming the hearts of the gathered friends, Di introduced the new coffee machine bearing a citation recognising Pauline’s dedicated support to Shearwater Lodge. QUOTA member Margaret Cummings had the idea for the club to donate something that is practical. “Pauline was such a practical person,” said Di. Recipient of the first coffee brewed by the machine was Pauline’s niece Nerida Holznagel who had travelled from her home in Glen Innes to be at the

celebration. Speaking at the morning tea, Nerida shared some memories of Pauline, her beloved Aunt. Pauline started her nursing career straight out of high school at Sutherland District Hospital in Caringbah in 1966. Graduating in 1969 she set sail to Canada on the ship Arcadia in January 1970 aged 21 to join her nursing friends. “According to my uncle (Pauline’s brother, Philip Cahill), Australian nurses were highly prized internationally for applying their educational theory with hands-on training and had a reputation for being very capable and practical,”

q Shearwater Lodge board members: Robert Mutton, Alan Mulhearn, Neville Hillenberg, Pauline’s niece Nerida Holznagel, Dr Paul Moran and Barbara Lawson.

q As a young nurse Pauline Cahill spent Christmas in a SubArctic hospital in Inuvik with the locals.

Nerida told News Of The Area. Pauline completed her training towards the end of the ‘starch hat’ era which displayed a nurse’s qualification and experience. “The stripes were hard earned.” Pauline was adventurous and spent over a decade fearlessly nursing in the Arctic and SubArctic regions of Canada’s remote north west Territories including the Yukon. “Inuvik was the coldest and farthest outpost she worked in with conditions in winter, averaging minus 20 degrees dropping at times to minus 40 degrees. “Her role would involve flying into isolated Inuit outstations to treat patients or aerially transport remote

residents back to Inuvik for care.” She loved the challenge of the wild and harsh conditions and devoted herself to her work. “Her remote experience exposed her to a variety of unique challenges and she developed into a dynamic and capable nurse prepared to calmly handle the unexpected demands. “It was a lifestyle for her including looking after an orphaned baby polar bear for a time,” said Nerida. Pauline returned to Australia in the early 80s when her father became ill after her parents retired to Nambucca Heads and she stayed on to become sister in charge of Emergency including Intensive Care at the former Coffs Harbour Base hospital.

In the 90s she completed further formal University accreditation before moving into overseeing international clinical trials relating to heart disease and became well respected in that field. Pauline retired in 2011 after a rewarding 45-year full-time nursing career serving the Coffs Harbour community for nearly 30 of those years. Pauline was a quiet achiever and formed deep and lasting friendships over many years. In her retirement she continued to travel, play bridge, golf, support her beloved Sydney Swans, and was a dedicated volunteer with the Sawtell Lions Club and QUOTA and its service to Shearwater Lodge.

To illustrate, prior to the implementation of the Alcohol Management Plans in Queensland, Tony Fitzgerald on a fact finding mission, flew in to Kowanyama, and from the time he left the Government plane till the time he reboarded was precisely 45 minutes. In that time he gained a total picture of the situation. There are other problems like the type of housing provided (which does not suit the climate, an in at

least two cases got some developer mates of the QLD government out of a bind), the lack of maintenance funding (Council had to spend $80,000 of its own funds on repairs to the number two bore because apparently maintenance of essential water supply doesn’t fit some obscure criteria), and many other areas in similar vein. It can’t be lack of funds at one stage in 2009, the Qld Government had two people employed in Cairns whose sole job was to provide spin to the relevant minister

should any problem emerge from the communities. In short, all the Yes proposal will achieve is to give another very expensive layer run by elites when all that is required is to achieve full accountability of the existing systems, and to listen to the voices that already exist. And for anyone remotely involved in decision making, go and live there.

If you haven’t lived there, you have no idea DEAR News Of The Area,

I HAVE noted over the last few months there has been any number of comments from the general public in relation to the upcoming referendum. Unless I have missed something, not one of the mostly Yes submissions have been from people that have either never been to or lived in an Indigenous community. Between May 1998 and December 2010 I held the position of Engineer with the Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council, and lived in the community for six months each year (there is very little in the way of useful works that can be undertaken in the wet). The area is roughly 600 km north west of Cairns, and about 25km from the Gulf. It has a population of

around 1100, of whom about 1000 are local. There are three clans (Kokoberra, Yir Yoront and Kunjen) who each have cultural and language differences. It may be of interest to note that in all the time I spent there, I neither experienced nor heard of anything remotely like a welcome to country. I got to know a large proportion of the locals, and can state that with the odd exception which happens in all societies, you were accepted for what you were, not for where you came from. The only downside to all this was the way local wishes and initiatives were largely ignored. The local elders group met regularly, and often produced worthwhile initiatives.

20 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

The process then went to the Northern Land Council (NLC) for approval. On one occasion, the initiative was echoed by Pormpuraaw, Aurukun and Mapoon Councils. While the NLC gave provisional approval, the initiative was denied because it echoed some of the initiatives being run by Noel Pearson. Herein lies the problem. There are already voices, at least in the nineteen Queensland communities, it is just that they are being ignored. There are a large number of Government bodies supposedly involved in all sorts of initiatives, who regularly sent representatives to Kowanyama, all armed with clip boards and tick box paper, who ticked boxes, and then go back by charter flight to either Cairns or Brisbane. They can have no real concept of the problems.

Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Judge determines multi-faceted property settlement ADAM and Rebecca separate after a 20 year relationship. They have one adult child. Adam owns shares in a company that operates a business. The parties agree that the business is worth $500,000. They jointly own their matrimonial home, worth $1.5m, subject to a $500,000 mortgage. They each have personal effects and motor vehicles as well as credit card debts. The parties’ superannuation totals $300,000. Rebecca received a $200,000 inheritance, post separation. They each claim that they are entitled to a 60 percent share of the pool of assets and after an unsuccessful mediation, Adam files an Initiating Application seeking property settlement orders in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. The Court rules that Adam made no contribution towards Rebecca’s inheritance and excludes it from the asset pool. The Court accepts that Rebecca brought $60,000 into the relationship, by way of a “initial contribution”. The Court finds that Adam’s mother gifted substantial funds to the parties, which were used to renovate the matrimonial home. In the circumstances, which included the husband’s contribution regarding the income derived from the running of the business, the Court determines that the contributions by the parties were 57.5 percent in Adam’s favour. In considering Adam’s greater future earning potential, the Court makes a further adjustment of 2.5 percent in Rebecca’s favour, ultimately ruling that she receive 45 percent of the asset pool. The Court Orders that some of Adam’s superannuation is allocated to Rebecca and that if Rebecca wishes to retain the matrimonial home and car, she will need to refinance the home mortgage in her name and pay Adam an additional $400,000. The Court further orders that if Rebecca is unable to obtain sufficient finance, that the home be listed for sale and the proceeds ultimately divided 55 percent in Adam’s favour. The Court Orders that Adam retains his shares in the company and that the parties otherwise retain the assets and liabilities in their respective names.

Listen to some oldies! DEAR News Of The Area,

I’M sure by now you’ve all had this Referendum ‘up to pussy’s bow’ but some of us oldies still have concerns about the Voice, including this one: How will the Voice succeed in ‘closing the gap’ in disadvantaged Indigenous communities and eliminating domestic violence towards women and children, when many of the existing organisations and billions of dollars have not achieved this? Will the Voice replace these organisations, or will it become just another costly, Canberrabased bureaucracy?

There doesn’t seem to be any clarity about this. If nothing else, this referendum has shone a light on the unresolved plight of disadvantaged Indigenous communities and the urgent need for financial accountability. Warren Mundine, one of the leaders of the No Campaign, has proposed a four-point plan to tackle this very issue (Warren Mundine ‘Four ways to do better than one Statement’ The Daily Telegraph 06/10/2023). It focuses on: 1. Accountability: Where is the money going? What is it being used for? What, if any outcomes have been achieved?

Taught fear and hate DEAR News Of The Area, GROWING up in Australia in the 80s I was taught to fear and hate Aboriginal culture[s]. So I learnt to fear and hate the idea of the primitive, nomadic life of Aboriginal people. I was taught that, for 10,000s of years Aboriginal people just walked about from place to place, without laws and with violence at the heart of Aboriginal culture[s]. I learnt to fear that, given half a chance, Aboriginal people would take Australia back to that violent and primitive life. I’ve carried this fear through my adolescence and my adult life. But now I see that the lies about Aboriginal cultures don’t pass the pub test. For 60,000-plus years human beings have lived on this continent with laws, agriculture and settlements. But my fears have remained. During the Mabo decision, I was taught to fear Aboriginal people taking ‘my’

backyard and house. Now, I’m being asked to fear ‘the voice of division’ and vote no in the Voice to Parliament referendum. I’m being asked to fear ‘the loss of sovereignty and vote no’. Don’t come the raw prawn with me mate! I’m being asked to fear the voice and how it will represent the views of so many Aboriginal nations in Australia. And fear is an incredibly powerful emotion. The Voice to Parliament is a petition from more than 1200 Aboriginal representatives across Australia through many regional dialogues. Having created and nurtured the oldest continuing living cultures in the world, Aboriginal people have earned their right to have a say in matters that affect their communities. So I’ll put my fear in its place and choose hope and kindness instead.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

2. Education: What is happening with kids going to school? 3. Economic participation: including jobs, business creation and home ownership. 4. Social change: including safe communities and addressing violence, abusive and destructive behaviour. This is a very practical plan and one that all Australians can get behind. It doesn’t need to be enshrined in the Constitution. It certainly isn’t ‘more of the same’ as the Yes mantra claims. Unlike the Voice, it is a plan that can unite rather than divide our country! Regards, Ann THOMPSON, Coffs Harbour.

Because I want my kids to grow up respecting and valuing the gift of being invited to share the oldest living cultures on earth. Instead of an Australia built on fear, I’m choosing hope and voting Yes to the Voice to Parliament. Regards, Jean-Paul LEUNG, Toormina.

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

Responding to misinformation on the Voice DEAR News Of The Area,

I’D like to respond to the letter in your publication (29/9/2023) from Ann Thompson. I feel I must do that to counter the misinformation and muddled thinking that she expresses, with the arguments typical of the No camp that have long been debunked. 1. Racism. It was not the YES camp that first brought up the spectre of racism, but the NO camp, by declaring it was about Aboriginality. The YES camp has always maintained that the referendum is about indigeneity; a point made by Noel Pearson is that there are numerous similar or far more progressive situations undertaken by various governments concerning their own indigenous, who happen to be blond-haired and blue-eyed.

2. Two questions? There is only one question and that is the one put by the Constitutional Commission that delivered the Statement from the Heart, and that is as stated in the referendum information (Referendum question and constitutional amendment ) and proposal for a First Nations' Voice. The reason they put in the request for it to be in the constitution was because after 230-odd years of top-down not listening, and proven many times destruction of socially fair legislation by conservative governments, they don't want the same to happen to what is only an advisory body. That is the elephant in the room that conservatives refuse to acknowledge. 3. Margaret doesn't need a crystal ball every credible legal mind, every respected academic in the country backs her assertion.

The number that back the naysayers can be counted on not even one hand. I prefer the assessments of experts to those of mischievous and/or misinformed lay people. 4. There is no "power" in this amendment. It explicitly says so in the information. Parliament as a whole has the power. Have you even read it? 5. The PM introduced the Statement from the Heart, and the subsequent referendum question as fulfilling an election promise. Or do you believe, as we have seen too often from previous governments, that election promises can be ditched like 'core and non-core' promises ? Thomas Mayo can say what he likes apart from the fact that those matters are not part of the referendum, do you seriously think that such matters, which are totally

Voice debate highlights inability to deal with our past DEAR News Of The Area, IN a recent interview on a conservative media platform ex PM John Howard made the observation that in Australia there is a “deep deposit of Celtic skepticism”. He was speaking in relation to the upcoming referendum and referring to the wider electorate’s suspicion of the Voice proposal. It includes a healthy fear of change and is often justified with the “If it ain’t broke … then don’t fix it’ position.

Of course it’s an easy position for those doing alright or unable or unwilling to imagine a different world. Despite those who discount the significance of history or the poor overall state of the Aboriginal nation, the uncomfortable accounts of our First Nations treatment under our Celtic forebears makes it pretty obvious that this attitude is not new. In fact there has been a historic reluctance to accept that Aboriginal Australians deserve anything more than they now have. The Celtic tribes well knew the adage, ‘To

the victor go the spoils’! Likewise, the ‘Celtic’ in John Howard never really accepted the legitimacy of Mabo, refused to apologise, and still refuses to acknowledge the Sovereignty of Aboriginals which would be a precursor to a formal Treaty. It is a glaring contradiction that he was happy to acknowledge the Sovereignty of the Timor-Leste people and send in our troops to support their self-determination election result in 1999, although there were of course ‘strategic’ reasons. This referendum is a one-off. There is no plan B, and a NO as predicted, will scuttle hopes of national Aboriginal reconciliation for a long time; certainly by a national referendum.

The only black Liberal in the village By Sean GORDON AM, Liberals for Yes

WEARING a ‘Liberals for Yes’ t-shirt in some parts of regional Australia makes me think of the comedy series Little Britain where actor Matt Lucas was the ‘only gay in the village’. In my case I feel like ‘the only black Liberal in the village’. Now imagine my feeling at the Garma Festival in the Northern Territory, one of the biggest events for Australia’s Indigenous community. I got more than a few funny looks and there was no question that I stood out. But the benefit has come from the conversations that flowed. With a simple t-shirt, I have been able to demonstrate how the upcoming referendum is going to be carried by every part of our community coming together to vote Yes. Regardless of how you vote at elections, this referendum is about standing together to build a better future for ourselves, for our children, and for the generations to come. I am proud to be a Wangkumarra/Barkindji man and the co-convenor of the Liberals for Yes campaign. It has been a long journey from my upbringing in Brewarrina, where I was in foster care on the old mission, to this point - leading a campaign for the centre-right of politics to support this practical change. I feel strongly that there is a place for liberals and conservatives in supporting the Yes vote because even this week senior Liberals were out advocating for local Voices. I am calling on all liberal and conservative Liberal members, for all voters to listen openly to the arguments for constitutional recognition through a Voice. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Now is the time for our friends to join Liberals for Yes and

Friday, 13 October 2023

advocate in their own circles of influence for the Yes position. Senior Liberal Shadow Minister Dan Tehan has argued for a legislated Voice. He suggested that we can close the gap by making sure we're on the ground listening, especially listening to local communities outside of capital cities. He’s said that we need to put policies in place to help and support those communities. This is exactly what voting Yes would do. Voting Yes would ensure that when the policies Mr Tehan argues for are developed, Indigenous people are at the table having a say. Mr Tehan acknowledges that governments need to be on the ground listening to local communities, and this is at the heart of what the Voice would do. Dan Tehan has mistakenly said that the Voice would be “a body which is set up in Canberra”. This is simply not true. The Calma/Langton report makes clear that local voices are the focus of the model. Just as they are in South Australia’s model. As part of my business and board roles, I travel widely through Australia working with Indigenous communities. All my life I have been dedicated to empowering Indigenous people to take responsibility, and for governments to loosen their control over our lives. Empowering people to take responsibility for their own lives is a core liberal value. It is clear to me that when we work in partnership with Indigenous communities at the local level, to help them help themselves, we get better results than governments deciding what is best. Surely Mr Tehan must agree with this point. The Voice will be an advisory committee.

Nothing more. Members of the Voice will be chosen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in their local area and serve for a fixed period. It will not have any veto. It will be made up of representatives from diverse Indigenous communities. The Voice is about advice. When governments listen to people about issues that affect them, they make better decisions, and deliver better value for money. This is something every MP and voter should support. We all know the status quo is not working. The current model of stop-start policy making and ad-hoc consultation in Indigenous Affairs is costly, inefficient and often ineffective, leaving Indigenous people disadvantaged and the broader community disheartened. A Constitutional guarantee will ensure the Voice has the certainty needed to exist beyond election cycles. This will avoid this issue becoming a political football at elections – which helps nobody. The Voice came from Indigenous people. It was our idea. It originated from a grassroots consultation process that ended with the Uluru Statement. In 2007, John Howard committed to recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Constitution. This was a turning point that kicked off a nation-wide consultative process. In 2017, I was one of over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates who gathered to sign the historic Uluru Statement from the Heart. It was an invitation to the Australian people to “create a better future” and explicitly calls for “the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.” That is what this referendum is about.

under the control of the parliament, would ever come about ? 6. Adelaide NO march - about whom are you talking - perhaps the white supremacists and the Nazis who have attached themselves to the NO camp from the beginning? Price has no credibility with the Indigenous - 96 aboriginal councils have denounced her as such. Mundine - even his own family reject his attitudes. I hope that Ann takes this in the spirit she extended to Margaret - it's not personal as should be evident, but opinions based on wrong information and lack of knowledge must be challenged. Regards, Bill ROBINSON, Coffs Coast. While the Voice proposal may have been naïve, it was never intended to be deceptive or divisive as critics make out. It has been at best an opportunity to imagine a different and potentially better Australia. History has also sadly shown however that we have always struggled to have an adult conversation around race (and immigration for that matter) without ugly coming to the fore. Our resilient Aboriginals will no doubt dust themselves off as they have always done and show that quiet resilience and dignity which has sustained them for the last 60,000 years. Meanwhile, many outsiders will still view us as unable to deal with our past. Regards, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

It is not about politics. It is about people. Indigenous people want and need a better future for our kids. We want to take responsibility for our communities, but we need a permanent seat at the table so we can have a say. I am confident the Voice will make a real difference to Indigenous people and create a better future for us all. I can’t see how better advice to policy makers can be anything but constructive. And I don’t know what the alternative is. We are just three percent of the population, and we can’t change the Constitution without the 97 percent of our community – and that’s why your vote is so important. I will continue to proudly wear my ‘Liberals for Yes’ t-shirt through regional Australia as well as our city streets. I’m hoping more Liberals join me because voting Yes means a better future for all Australians. We cannot afford more of the same, and the Voice is our best chance of improving outcomes so we can close the gap. *Sean Gordon AM is co-convenor of the Liberals for Yes campaign, Chair of Uphold & Recognise, Managing Director of the Gidgee Group, CEO of the Yadha Muru Foundation and serves on many national boards and advisory committees.

Sportz Central upgrade takes shape By Aiden BURGESS

WITH the Sportz Central upgrade currently taking shape, Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan took the opportunity to check in on the long-awaited upgrades to the Bray Street Sportz Central complex and adjoining skate park. Mr Conaghan said it was a welcome sight to see the complex finally taking shape after delays due to COVID. “Seeing the framework of the new complex finally taking shape is a welcome sight,” he said. “I successfully secured the original Federal Government funding for the upgrade back in 2019, so to see it progressing in earnest after four long years of COVID delays and Council project prioritising is fantastic.” Mr Conaghan said the upgrades would see the

region’s credentials for hosting state and national sporting competitions expand. “The Coffs Coast is now on track to have a worldclass basketball facility on top of the newly completed netball courts at Vost Park and the improvements to the C.ex Stadium, both with funding provided from the previous Federal Coalition Government,” he said. “The region’s credentials as a haven for state and national sporting competitions are expanding, and I can’t wait to see the knock-on effect not just for local sporting groups but also our local businesses.” Mr Conaghan outlined the genesis of the funding for the Sportz Central upgrade. “The original $6.3 million of Federal funding was allocated as part of the Nationals Building Better

Regions Fund, designed to drive economic growth and build stronger regional communities into the future,” he said. “A subsequent $1.1m of NSW State Government funds was secured last year by Coffs Harbour MP Gurmesh Singh to ensure the project came to fruition in lieu of rising building costs.” While applauding the progress on the promised Bray Street upgrades, Mr Conaghan expressed his disappointment that the Sawtell Pool would not come to the same happy resolution. “I do need to mention an unfortunate casualty in the Coffs Coast sporting facility upgrades, and that is the Sawtell Pool,” he said. “In October of 2021, then mayor Denise Knight and I announced the successful cofunding of the Sawtell Pool upgrade.

women’s, Under 17 girls, and Under 15 girls teams. It was the first time Coffs Harbour had entered women’s and girls teams in the Koori Knockout. The Raidettes sides are part of the Gumbaynggirr Coffs Coast Raiders, a club which reformed this year after playing in the 1990s, as

they took part in this year’s East Coast Tribal League season. Raidettes women’s captain Heather Duncan said it was a special moment for Coffs women and girls teams to take part in the Koori Knockout for the first time. “It was special, representing our local

“The $7.8 million project was to be funded 50/50 and would have seen the 37-yearold pool transformed to include an accessible modern pool with an interactive splash zone for kids of all ages and abilities, new modern building with an undercover multifunctional space, picnic shelter and BBQ and lighting to encourage nighttime use. “The same facility upgrades were to be provided in Woolgoolga in my colleague Kevin Hogan’s electorate of Page. “Unfortunately, due to conflicting priorities and budgeting restraints, the Coffs Harbour City Council chose to hand back the funds and both Sawtell and Woolgoolga now miss out. “I saw this exact pool model successfully opened further North by Richmond Valley Council in Casino just last week and could not help

community and families, that's what Koori Knockout is about,” she said. “It was such a successful event for our Raidettes club and for our Coffs Harbour community. “This is the first time ever that Coffs Harbour had taken away any women's and girls teams to this event. “We were training for nine weeks leading up to this event, and we bought 75 players together with all their families. “We are extremely proud of everyone's efforts.” Duncan gave a recap of how the Raidettes teams fared at the Koori Knockout. “Our 15s girls got beat in the first game against Newcastle Yowies, that team won the 15s grand final,” she said. “Our 17s girls won the first game against Dunghutti Connections, and then got beat in the second game against Northern United who later took out the 17s grand final. “Our women's team won our first game against Bowerbids from Sydney which was a really good game. “This was our first game together as a team, some of the girls this was their first

Koori Knockout but also their first game of rugby league. “We went down in the second game to Darkinjung.” Duncan said the Raidettes planned to return in 2024. “The Coffs Coast Raiders will continue to participate in the Koori Knockout every year and this includes other rugby league events around NSW and Queensland for men, women and our youth,” she said. “We will be bigger and better next year, and we are looking for more sponsors to help us take men’s women’s, Under 15 and 17 girls and boys teams, in total taking six teams in 2024.” Kristy Hart has helped to get the Raiders club off the ground and is the current chairperson. She shared the background into the Raiders and how they reformed. “The Coffs Coast Raiders were a rugby league team that existed in the 1990s, where local men came together to represent the community at the NSW Koori Knockout level which is a state-wide, prestigious Aboriginal event,” she said. “Growing up listening to the stories of what has been told throughout the

years, Heather Duncan asked community members to see if there is any chance of revitalising the Coffs Coast Raiders. “Her vision was to create a pathway for women and our youth to have a safe and positive environment. “I jumped at the chance.” Hart was looking forward to another big year on the field after a successful 2023. “This has been a successful year by participating in the East Coast Tribal League, which is a rugby league competition that is well known on the North Coast,” she said. “The Bundjalung Tiddas Women Rugby League Gala Day was held at the Sports Ground in Yamba and the NSW Koori Rugby League Knockout Carnival was held in Tuggerah. “The achievement that we have had throughout the year has been an incredible journey. “The Indigenous community thanking the Gumbaynggirr Raiders Committee for letting their daughters participate in the team has all been worth it, and we cannot wait to see what next year brings.”

Local driver wins Grafton Speedway season opener By Aiden BURGESS

GRAFTON’S Tony Blanch has made a winning start to the Speedway season, triumphing on his home track as the latest Grafton Speedway racing season roared into action. With over 20 years of experience racing around Grafton Speedway, Blanch was able to use his vast

knowledge to come away with the AMCA Nationals feature race win. Casino’s Connor Reeves also got his racing season off to a winning start by taking out the chequered flag in the RSA Street Stockers event. Grafton Speedway promoter Mick Corbett was looking forward to a big season of racing.

“This coming season promises to be jam packed with over a dozen race meetings filled with some big V8 Dirt Modified events and also hosting the National Junior Sedan Title that is likely to attract close to 100 competitors from all around the country,” he said. “We wanted to make sure everything was good to go for the SSA Junior Sedan National Title and the Modlites Australian Title as well as the SSA

Street Stocks NSW Title in February, add to that the Super Dirt Series over the Christmas-New Year period for V8 Dirt Modifieds and AMCA Nationals with some pretty impressive prize money up for grabs, and it makes for what is going to be a massive calendar.” The next race meeting at Grafton Speedway is on Saturday, 11 November. The second race meeting of the season will feature the popular V8 Dirt Modifieds headlining the

Championships featuring 103 boys and 95 girls teams in divisions ranging from ages nine to seventeen. Instead of solely Coffs Harbour teams as seen in the past, new Mid North Coast Mariners teams will feature in the 10s Boys, 12s Boys, 12s Girls, 14s Girls, and 16s Girls divisions. The Mid North Coast Mariners is a new entity which combines the Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie regions. Mid North Coast Mariners teams that will compete at the Australian Championships were selected at trials earlier

in the year in Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. The Coffs Harbour Thunder entered teams during last year's Oztag Australian Junior Championships in Coffs Harbour. The Coffs Harbour Thunder 17s Girls made it to the quarter finals at last year's Australian Junior Championships. Coffs Harbour will also host the Australian Senior Championships from 3-5 November, where the Mid North Coast Mariners will enter teams in six divisions.

Family of League gears up for exciting Derby Day By David WIGLEY

THE Family of League is coming together for Derby Day on November 4 to enjoy a day among friends and raise money for those in need at the Coffs Racecourse. Peter Barrett, the president of Family of League, encourages the community to support this event. “This charity organisation has been excellent in looking after families or individuals struggling and the Wellbeing Committee is leading the way especially with mental health

and to keep these fundraising events going for those evolved in our great game of rugby league in city and country,” he said. Dubbed as Coffs Harbour's premier horse racing event, guests will relish a day at the races while being entertained by rugby league legends Brad Clyde and Royce Simons. Brad Clyde, who represented both New South Wales and the Australian national side, made significant contributions to Australian rugby league. He played for the

Canberra Raiders and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in Australia and the Leeds Rhinos in England. Notably, Clyde is one of only three players, alongside Billy Slater and Nathan Cleary, to have twice won the Clive Churchill Medal as the best player in the Grand Final. His professional career spanned the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and he was widely acknowledged as the best lock in the game. Clyde's illustrious career earned him a place in both the NSW Blues Hall of Fame

and the NRL Hall of Fame. Royce Simons, who represented Australia and the NSW Blues, is renowned for his loyalty to the Penrith Panthers. He played as a hooker for the Panthers from 1980 to 1991, culminating in a premiership win in his final season. Simons later transitioned into coaching, with stints at English sides Hull F.C. (1992–94) and St Helens (2011–12), and he even had a brief coaching tenure with the Panthers from 1994 to 2001. Tickets must be prepurchased as there are limited tables only. “It will be a fantastic day

the afternoon they simply could not get enough of the sport. Blowfly Cricket Club founder Mark Rushton said it was a special moment for the kids to take part in the clinic. “It was an amazing experience for them,” he said. “Through this clinic, we not only helped the children play and love cricket, but also helped them be more independent and responsible and created social interaction opportunities for them.” The all-abilities programs at the Sydney club were started by Rushton a few years ago to prove a point.

He was told once that people with disabilities were ‘uncoachable’ to play sport and coach sport, and he set out to prove them wrong with his ‘Coach the Uncoachables’ program. The program is an officially recognised Level 1 coaching course for people living with a disability so that they can be accredited and therefore earn money through coaching. Cricket NSW’s North Coast Cricket Manager, Kate Jackson arranged for equipment kits and giveaway Woolworths Cricket Blast showbags that the children

were thrilled to receive. The children were also given engraved ‘Blowies’ medals from the club, which were a hit too, and nicely topped off the afternoon’s activities. Cricket NSW is looking to create more all abilities programs across the state and will use the expertise from existing programs like Blowfly Cricket. Julie Stafford, Female Engagement and D&I Manager, Cricket NSW, praised Blowfly Cricket Club’s commitment to providing allabilities coaching clinics. “Cricket is a sport for all,

Chloe and Daisy take fourth place at Sydney’s Equimillion By Andrea FERRARI

FIRING up her Olympic goals, Chloe O’Neill and her oneeyed thoroughbred Daisy won fourth place in the 65cm Junior (14-21) category at Equimillion, a legendary event held at Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC), built especially for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

The competition was held over the October Labour Day Long Weekend “This was my first time competing in Sydney and on arrival at SIEC, I could not stop smiling,” Chloe, a Coffs Senior College Year 12 student, told News Of The Area. “As someone with Olympic goals, it was extremely motivating.”

The reality of competing at this esteemed equestrian facility helped her realise the strong strides she has taken towards being where she wants to be in her horseriding goals. “I now feel fully capable of continuing this oftenexhausting journey.” As a competitor she met many talented people

aged facilities for many years, and I look forward to these clubs being re-energised by this new investment in sporting facilities by the State Government and the City,” said City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos. “The future for York St Oval looks very positive and I’m looking forward to seeing greater levels of activation on the site and improved opportunities for our residents to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.” The athletics community will enjoy new jumping and throwing facilities and an equipment storage shed to complement the grass track. Northern Storm Football Club now have at their disposal new amenities, change rooms and storage facilities, flood lights and fencing. Both facilities are built to a standard to support district level competition and training and provide much needed infrastructure to support growth in the number of participants.

The Coffs Coast Colts were semi-finalists and minor premiers in last season’s first grade competition. Last season’s first grade runners up the Nana Glen Lizards travel to take on the Northern Districts Rebels in Woolgoolga, with their one dayer at the Wiigulga Sports Complex. Round 1 also sees the Diggers Cricket Club playing host to Sawtell at Fitzroy

Oval. Sawtell were semifinalists last season, while Diggers missed playing finals. Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s second and third grade seasons also get underway this weekend. Sawtell’s second grade side begin their premiership defence at home when they take on Diggers Cricket Club at Richardson Park. Last season’s grand finalists the Nana Glen Lizards take on the Northern Districts Rebels in Woolgoolga, while Coffs Coast Colts and Bellingen/Dorrigo face off at Richardson Park. Nana Glen’s third grade side also begin their premiership defence at home when they play host to the Coffs Coast Colts.

in the horse world and saw numerous stunning thoroughbreds. The event kicked off with a dressage test. “(It was) good though perhaps below our average, I was happy with how Daisy settled into the Sydney environment,” she said. They were sitting in eighth place overnight. “A lovely, clear showjumping round without a single look at any of the crazy fill and scary wings moved us to sixth place on Day 2. “A brave, fifteen-second under time cross country in 35 degree heat got us into fourth place in the 65cm Junior (14-21),” she said. The result came with $2,500 in prize money. “When mum told me the news, I burst into tears and thanked God. “Daisy and I have been through hell and back together.” The thoroughbred had her poorly eye removed almost two years ago, and the pair have developed a special bond of trust. “Riding the lap of honour was epic.

OCTOBER means one thing for a large group of Coffs Coast sportspeople. It’s time to play another season of the sport they love. Coffs Coast cricketers return to the region’s fields this weekend, as the opening round of Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s 2023/24 season gets underway.

“It felt like the two of us had overcome the world, and that was all that was relevant.” Feeling grateful for this opportunity, and looking forward to many more in the future, Chloe thanks everyone who makes her feel like she can push outside of her comfort zone. “(They) encourage me that 'it ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you’,” she said. “I couldn’t thank my mum, Michelle Johnson, enough for making this journey with me, and my grannie, Anne Smith. “I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am without her,

as both a person and a rider.” Huge thanks go to sponsors, Joe Janiak (Daisy's former trainer and breeder), Coffs Racing Club, Jim Jarvis and Kris Jarvis, Noel Mayfield-Smith Racing and Emma Mayfield-Smith. Thanks also go to supporters In the Saddle, Bec the Osteopath and April Hennessy. “I am blessed with coaches who also act as mentors: Linda Cleary and Alison Ostenfeld. “I love the people and horses in my life, thank you all so much,” she said in closing.

The majority of Council’s road network has been impacted to some extent, which has resulted in an unprecedented amount of repairs to undertake. Council is aware there are numerous potholes, corrugations and gravel loss on some roads.

Proudly brought to you by News Of The Area and Nambucca Valley Council

• Council has recorded 67 significant landslip events that will require remediation through the LGA, with an estimated repair cost in the order of $40million and further information is available on landslip damages via an interactive map located on Council’s website by following the Disaster Recovery link. • Since the March 2021 flooding, the damage bill to date has been in excess of $4.4million predominately directed toward our emergency relief works on the road network. These works are still on-going.

THE NEWSREADER

ABC, 8.30pm

It’s Australia Day 1988 and not only are Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the country, but there’s a reenactment of the First Fleet sailing into Sydney Harbour. In tonight’s electric season two ﬁnale, there’s not only an abundance of ceremony and pomp for newsreaders Dale (Sam Reid) and Helen (Anna Torv) to digest, but also their complicated personal feelings. This exceptional homegrown series may be wrapping up, but viewers can rest assured a third season has already been given the green light: it’s no surprise given the ﬁnesse and quality of this ’80s-set delight. As Helen contemplates a lucrative overseas contract, the promise of more to come makes it even more gratifying.

Host of upcoming quiz show Jeopardy! Australia, Stephen Fry is many things: a comedian, an actor, a director, a writer and even a narrator on a children’s show (it’s Pocoyo, in case you’re wondering). But is this industrious thespian now aspiring to be David Attenborough, too? Fry is unmistakably muscling in on the celebrated naturalist’s territory here as he explores the majesty of Earth and how its creatures are impacted by the seasons. While Fry doesn’t possess the poetic turn of words of Attenborough, the incredible footage from more than 60 locations almost makes up for it. This four-episode series begins with winter and a polar bear smartening up its cub.

GEORGE CLARKE’S AMAZING SPACES

ABC TV PLUS, 9.20pm

British architect George Clarke possesses a boyish, earnest charm that infuses his long-running series with an easygoing ﬂair. As he returns tonight with an 11th season, this convivial antithesis to Grand Designs celebrates innovative thinking on a small scale: not everyone has the means to commission an architect to build a sprawling mansion, but anyone can be inspired to renovate a train carriage or a boat and have some fun with it. Tonight, Clarke embarks on an emotional journey when he sends the caravan he renovated on the series 10 years ago to the scrap heap to make way for a new project in the form of a caravan set to be reborn in stunning arts-and-crafts style. Clarke also takes an inspiring trip to Israel. 1310
