Mud concerns at Showground Arena By Andrea FERRARI MUD is not glorious for the Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show Society committee, with less than three weeks to go before their major annual event at the Showground. The Arena, which should be the centrepiece of the Showground, and is where the grand parade and opening of the show occurs, has areas that are unusable and huge patches 30cm (or more) deep with water and thick mud. Speaking with News Of The Area (NOTA) from the Arena with their gum boots on, Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show President Christopher Pearson, Vice President

Mud concerns at Showground Arena FROM Page 1 Margaret Crawley and horse ring Secretary Alice Rehwinkel told NOTA about their frustration and their determination to try to make some useable space to run the horse events and feature events in front of the grandstand during the Show. “It’s an absolute mess,” said Chris, a life member of Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show and a member of both Armidale and Macksville Shows. “This happens every year. “It is trashed every year by the time we get it, and we have to pay for the remedial work. “We pay to hire the Showground and then find the arena in a terrible mess, with bits of rubbish and rocks amongst the mud, and then have to call on the community to help us fix the mess,” said Margaret. “Friends are helping by giving up their time to work on the grounds – the community is rallying like it always does in Coffs Harbour. “The Coffs Harbour Show Society is paying a minimum of $5,000 from its modest funds to get labourers in and is spreading more than 80 ton of sand to fill in the holes and improve parts of the arena surface but it just isn’t enough.” Chris is asking and urging the Crown Land Management Board, which operates the Showground, and the State Government, to come to the party and invest in repairing this infrastructure for a safe, usable arena. “It doesn’t seem to be a priority yet it’s a major community asset,” said a frustrated Chris. For Alice, and all involved in the horse and ring events, it’s the missed potential for the Show which she believes could be so much bigger if the facilities were well maintained. Along with the state of the arena is the

condition of the stables. “At least twenty of the Showground stables are not usable,” she said. Alice and other committee members are keen to action change and see growth for the horse and arena events. “Overall, we are trying to improve the Arena grounds with our capacity, but we need more help now, and for the future,” she said. With enough sun, minimum rain and Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show committee and friends and local businesses rallying together

to drain the Arena and spread the sand, the group believe they will have some usable areas for the horse show. “We’re looking forward to a great show weekend with horse competitions, hopefully fine weather and fun for all the family,” said Alice. The Coffs Harbour Agricultural Show is on at the Coffs Harbour Showground, Pacific Highway, Coffs Harbour from 13 to 15 May 2022.

Rates Set To Rise FROM Page 1 Government earlier in the year, jump from 0.7 percent to 2.5 percent. Council’s Director of

Business Services, Andrew Beswick, has said that the initial rate peg of 0.7 percent was “exceptionally low” and would impact on Council’s financial forecasts should it

continue to remain in place. He said he believed the rate rise was within reason. “We have taken up the offer to apply for a further 1.8 percent to take the rate peg to 2.5 percent – the rate peg amount many

councils expected the NSW Government to set for 2022/2023, although this is still well below inflation.” The vote was carried with all councillors, aside from councillor Rodger Pryce, voting in favour of

the rise. Cr Pryce said of the motion that he would like to look at how Council can change their approach to try to reach better outcomes for the community. Ratepayers and local

to get the care they need without compromising other household expenditure.” Ms Heise said she would advocate in Parliament “for a significant and permanent rise in welfare and pension payments to lift people out of poverty”. With private rentals increasing by up to 20 percent in the past year, Ms Heise said the rate of rental assistance needs to increase so it keeps pace with the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). She said it was time for leaders to look beyond band-aid solutions to relieve cost of living pressures like a temporary cut in fuel excise. “With inflation rising we need to go directly to the root of the cost of living problem,” Ms Heise said. She said the policies

to suppress wages have to stop and the minimum wage needs to increase, and that wage growth should be tied to productivity increases. “Over the past decade Australia’s biggest companies have made huge profits and found room to generously reward their managers and shareholders. “It’s time to better share profits with their workers,” she said. “In a cyclical economy those workers are someone else’s customers, and so the economic benefits of higher rates of pay and more secure work will be good for everyone.” Ms Heise said it was also crucial for Governments to acknowledge the role being played by climate change. “Prices for fruit, vegetables and meats are soaring because of supply

chain interruptions due to floods, storms, droughts and fires and those same natural disasters are also pushing up insurance premiums and are stretching the resources of councils which are left to repair roads and community infrastructure. “Addressing cost of living pressures won’t be easy or simple and will require a mix of short and long term strategic thinking and policy formulation.” Ms Heise is also calling for the creation of a dedicated National Emergency Response Force, resourced with a fleet of specialised aerial fire-fighting units, to address the biggest threat to everyday people across the Mid North Coast. She said while a strong Armed Forces is needed to protect Australia from foreign aggression, the

threat of climate change is a larger and more immediate danger, and so deserves its own specialist tactical response unit. Ms Heise said, “Climate change modelling predicts more severe fires, storms and flood events for the Hastings, Macleay, Nambucca and Bellinger Valleys, so it’s time we were all better prepared.” Her proposed National Emergency Response Force would work hand in hand with local SES crews to respond when natural disasters hit. Ms Heise is also committed to establishing an independent body to oversee and audit the roll out of big infrastructure projects across Australia to ensure that taxpayers get the best value for their dollars. “Lots of people have been telling me they are

Caz Heise Outlines Policy Promises By Andrew VIVIAN

INDEPENDENT candidate for Cowper Caz Heise has released several policy statements in the past two weeks. Ms Heise said cost of living pressures are hitting people in Cowper hard. A former Director of Nursing and Midwifery at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus, Ms Heise said increasing the Medicare rebate to GPs was a quick and easy way to help people stretch their finances further. “Pensioners and welfare recipients often suffer poor health, but the Government’s cuts to the Medicare rebate means there are fewer doctors across Cowper offering bulk billing. “Increasing the rebate will mean more vulnerable people will be able to afford

amazed at how freely millions of dollars are allegedly spent on simple things like car parks, playgrounds and roads. Ms Heise said, “We all too frequently hear Governments bragging about how much they’ve spent on something, but we never hear about how effectively the money was actually spent”, citing the Coffs Harbour boat ramp as an example. “Just north of us the Government spent almost $6-billion on the Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway upgrade, and yet we’re now stuck with a roadway which is frequently cut by flooding and which is acting as a dam wall and drowning out farmland and communities. “We need more than just big spending policy announcements - we need real rigour around how money is spent to achieve the best outcomes for our communities.”

Candidates Talk Climate AROUND 100 community members packed the Cavanbah Hall in Coffs Harbour for the Cowper Climate Forum last Friday night. Five of the seven candidates for Cowper in the upcoming Federal Election attended the event, hosted by the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group (CCCAG) and the local School Strike 4 Climate group. Carolyn Heise (Independent), Keith McMullen (Labor), Timothy

Nott (Greens), Faye Aspiotis (One Nation) and Simon Chaseling (Liberal Democrats) took the stage to answer audience questions on their climate policies. The sitting Member for Cowper, Nationals candidate Pat Conaghan, did not respond to his invitation. His absence was marked by an empty chair and a sign. Coffs Coast Climate Action Group’s Liisa Rusanen, said, “Turning up to engage respectfully with your constituents is the bare minimum for an MP.”

Several questions came from children and teenagers, who expressed concern for their future, in light of the increase in extreme weather events, floods and fires, and dire predictions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). School Strike organiser Rataj Abdullah asked about the Government's duty of care to protect young people from climate harm when approving new coal mines the subject of a recent High Court case. Other questions revolved

around removing taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuels, plans for a fair transition away from coal and gas, and cutting emissions to reach net zero. There was also significant enthusiasm for the growing renewables industry, which already has a strong base in Cowper, with the potential for many more local jobs. Audience member Nicole Read noted during her question to the candidates, “In every Federal election in recent decades there have been scare campaigns about

the cost of climate action, and it's happening again. “I don’t think we hear enough about the benefits that will result from policies to reduce emissions,” she said. Forum attendee Bill Davies asked a question about donations to candidates from coal and gas companies, and called for action to reduce the political influence of the fossil fuel industry. He described the forum as “a wonderfully inclusive, mature contest of ideas”. Ms Rusanen said, “It was

and any inference that it does is rubbish.” Ms Heise has also expressed dismay over Mr Conaghan’s direction of preferences. She said Mr Conaghan’s decision to preference Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party and Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party was an insult to everyday people in Cowper. “During the pandemic, both Ms Hanson and Mr Palmer deliberately spread lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 virus, and management and

treatment options. “Their words and actions endangered Cowper’s health workforce, seniors and vulnerable people and yet Mr Conaghan now thinks that is OK.” Mr Conaghan said, “The preferences listed on my how to vote card are indicative of my desire to ensure that we do not have a disunified rabble in parliament. “They reflect my belief that a hung parliament does no one good, least of all the people of Cowper who deserve stability

Cowper Disagreements Continue By Andrew VIVIAN

NATIONALS Senator Matt Canavan recently announced that the Coalition’s commitment to Net Zero was “dead”. Independent candidate for Cowper Caz Heise has seized on the comment, calling for Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan, to reiterate his stance on the issue. Ms Heise said the Coalition’s open warfare over Net Zero raised serious questions about the Government’s integrity and that the unravelling of

the agreement between the Liberals and the Nationals had serious repercussions for regional Australia. “In exchange for agreeing to Net Zero the Nationals secured a $20-billion regional infrastructure slush fund,” she said. “What happens to that money now? “We are seeing people’s lives being thrown into disarray, local government infrastructure repair bills skyrocket and cost of living expenses surging due to unchecked climate change, and yet the Nationals seem

hell bent on protecting their coal donors.” Ms Heise suggested that Mr Conaghan inflated the Government’s record on emissions and that she was alarmed by his endorsement of nuclear energy in a recent social media post. Mr Conaghan responded, saying, “Matt Canavan does not speak for me or for the party as a whole. “One person’s opinion does not change the commitment that has already been made and has already been budgeted for,

and security after all that we have endured as a community,” he said. “Any vote for so-called ‘independents’ and minor parties risks Labor and uncertainty,” Mr Conaghan said. “I am passionate about stability and continuing in the path of a strong economy and my preferences reflect that. “Any insinuation that these preferences support agendas from the United Australia Party or One Nation, or somehow mean that I don’t support the Coalition’s commitment to Net Zero, is complete nonsense.”

a lively discussion, showing a wide diversity in candidates' understanding of climate science and the action needed. “Most people actually want action on climate change, and we don’t have another three years to waste, so we really encourage everyone to get informed and keep climate in mind when voting.” CCCAG will be releasing a candidate ‘scorecard’ for both Cowper and Page electorates this week on its website or social media pages.

BUSINESS ADVERTISING

Dispelling Misinformation About Independents’ Funding By Andrew VIVIAN

CLASSIFIEDS

WHILE many voters see the proliferation of Independent candidates in the upcoming Federal Election as a positive, there are negative stories being circulated about their sources of funding. Independent candidate for Cowper, Caz Heise, is someone affected by rumours that the Climate 200 organisation, which provided her with some funding, is some sort of nefarious ‘greenie’ organisation. The organisation, set up by Simon Holmes à Court, has published a list of all its donors on its website, and Ms Heise is committed to posting a list of all her donations above $1000 on her website. She said it was imperative all candidates were transparent about their funding sources. "We know about two thirds of all donations made to the major parties are not accounted for,” Ms Heise said. "When you see how much is donated to the Liberals and Nationals by the fossil fuel industry, big tobacco and companies which profit from gambling and alcohol you start to understand why real change that is important to the community is not happening.” Two of the approximately 100 Climate 200 donors in Cowper spoke with News Of The Area about their involvement. Both decided to donate to Climate 200 well before Ms Heise elected to run for Cowper. One of the supporters is a public servant from Sawtell and does not wish to be

Mr Burke said, “It makes no sense at all that people involved in the timber industry or any other business would not be interested in integrity in politics and in climate change action. “If we have integrity in government, everything else falls into place. “I’m amazed at the misconceptions about Climate 2000,” Mr Burke said. He said while wealthy entrepreneurs Simon Holmes à Court and Mike CannonBrookes established it, the donations of approximately $8 million have come from ordinary people. He compared this to the $150 million spent by the major parties last election, with an additional $80 million from Clive Palmer. Mr Burke believes much of the money behind the two major parties is from large corporate donors, often obscured, who, in return, expect favourable treatment from the government. He said donations to C200 and most independents are largely from individuals with no agenda other than integrity and climate action. Mr Burke said, “It’s a fact that most of us deal honestly with one another in business and our daily lives, so why do we not insist on this from politicians? “A hung parliament is the best possible outcome for this election.” According to Mr Burke, independent MPs can negotiate with the government for better emissions targets and a Federal ICAC. Mr Burke said, “When we vote for a representative, we shouldn’t expect that they will stand up for everything we believe in, but we should vote for someone who broadly stands up for our major principles.”

MOTORISTS are advised of changed traffic conditions on the Pacific Highway from Wednesday to carry out maintenance work between Orlando Street and Stadium Drive, Coffs Harbour. Transport for NSW will carry out the work, which involves resurfacing and line marking, with line marking installed within four weeks of the resurfacing work. Lane closures, traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40km/h will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists.

To minimise impacts to motorists, work will be carried out from 7pm to 5am weekdays and Sundays, and is expected to take up to four weeks, weather permitting. Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control. Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time.

identified. She said, "I heard Simon Holmes à Court being interviewed on radio and he said that Climate 200 was simply about levelling the playing field so climate focused candidates stood a chance of competing against candidates funded by the fossil fuel lobby. “That really resonated with me. "I'm not a political person but I am passionate about the environment and so I like the idea of contributing to a cause which gives the environment the best chance of taking centre stage in an intelligent, factual and non-partisan way,” she continued. The donor said she doesn’t care about the political colours of a candidate Climate 200 chooses to support but is interested in political outcomes which acknowledge the threat of climate change and the need to reduce emissions. She said, "Because Climate 200 isn't a political party, there are lots of other people I know in the state and commonwealth public service who are donors. “It's not a political act to support an organisation which simply wants action on climate change - it's about knowledge, ethics and instinct." Roger Burke agrees. He said, “I became aware of Climate 2000 after the 2019 election.” Mr Burke donated several thousand dollars shortly after and then donated to Ms Heise’s campaign after she was selected by the ‘Voices of Cowper’ group. He runs a kiln drying business and buys timber from a number of sawmills but his main business is building solar kilns that he invented 25 years ago. He has sold approximately 200 kilns around the world.

Greens plan for local skilled jobs By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Greens candidates for Page and Cowper, Kashmir Miller and Timothy Nott, have announced a TAFE-toJobs Guarantee and skilled jobs program that includes apprenticeships for TAFE students in the Mid North Coast and Clarence Valley regions. Nationally, the Greens have a commitment to free TAFE and a million jobs through investment in the manufacturing industry, the emerging circular economy

industry, and regenerative agriculture. Ms Miller and Mr Nott say secure and well paid local jobs, complemented by free university and TAFE to train people for the jobs of the future, can be created. Ms Miller said, “When I came down for my Page launch in early April, I met with tradespeople in the commercial painting, bee keeping and building sectors to hear their concerns. “They all welcomed more government support for employers and employees

to develop the skills and motivation required for a strong Woolgoolga community. “As a young person, I directly see that younger people cannot find skilled work locally, and as a result poverty is on the rise on the Mid North Coast. Mr Nott said, “We currently have a shortage of tradequalified construction staff across the building industry in Cowper. “TAFE has been required to do more with less for years and the results are showing. “Shortages of qualified construction staff increases the price of housing and repairs, pushing up the cost of living.”

The Greens candidates say courses to enable training and jobs growth can be run at either the Coffs Harbour, Kempsey or Port Macquarie

TAFE campuses. Mr Nott said, “We have the facilities, and the government should be incentivizing the education of tradespeople

right here in Cowper. “This should be fully funded by the government, not younger Australians.”

While there is currently an ad hoc car park on the block, plans for an upgraded parking space and open area have been touted, with a pedestrian link from the foreshore giving better accessibility to the Jetty strip. Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul

Amos said the land acquisition made sense for the further development of the area. “This piece of land, although quite small, has always had enormous potential in terms of enhancing the Jetty Foreshores and its approaches. “I’m delighted that, thanks to NSW Government funding, we’ve been able to secure it for community use.” Fellow councillor Julie Sechi also said that the Jetty strip businesses will benefit

from the updated space, delivering easier access to parking for potential customers. “It’s of utmost importance to support local business wherever we can. “Providing the additional parking will support those businesses, especially after the last couple of years has hit the hospitality industry so hard. “It’s great we can support them,” Cr Sechi said.

THE ‘Whale Tail Land’ at the Jetty Foreshores is set to be purchased by the Coffs Harbour City Council for just over $2.5 million.

Assange documentary urges action By Andrea FERRARI SWIFF has screened ITHAKA, a documentary about the plight of Julian Assange’s father, John Shipton, as he campaigns for the release of his son. Last weekend’s screenings (29 April and 1 May) were followed by an audience Q&A with John Shipton and brother, Gabriel Shipton. ITHAKA, produced by Gabriel Shipton and Adrian Devant, focuses on John Shipton and his journey to get his son released from prison. Gabriel and Adrian recruited Australian director Ben Lawrence – director of Ghosthunter and Hearts & Bones – to tell the story about the Free Assange movement, and its many variants around the world, as John and family connect with supporter networks, generate and receive media interviews, and at the same time support Julian and his mental health struggles via the limited access they have to him. Since the film wrapped, all legal proceedings have now been closed in the UK, and the United States has successfully lobbied to have Julian extradited there, where he will face eighteen counts, mainly around espionage, and faces a maximum of 175 years in prison.

What the film tells us is there is still time to lobby, as the final decision is to be made by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel on May 18, 2022. “In the Q&A sessions, Julian’s father John Shipton, who is a very well-spoken and chooses his words quite deliberately, continued to reiterate that this isn’t just Julian on trial – as an individual or as an Australian – this is journalism itself that

is on trial,” Dave Horsley, SWIFF Festival Director, told News Of The Area. “There have been many cases of journalists breaking stories based on confidential sources, such as The Guardian breaking the Panama Papers case, where those journalists were not prosecuted. “They also mentioned that all support for Julian Assange first started in Australia, and then spread overseas.”

q SWIFF presented ITHAKA, a documentary about the plight of Julian Assange, at CHEC Theatre. In discussion on stage were Producer Adrian Devant, Director Ben Lawrence, Julian Assange’s father John Shipton and brother Gabriel Shipton, and SWIFF Festival Director Dave Horsley.

q John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father, speaking at SWIFF 2022.

q SWIFF 2022 brought the ITHAKA documentary to the stage supported by a Q&A with the documentary’s producers.

SWIFF hosted two screenings of ITHAKA through the Festival, one moderated by Dave at CHEC Theatre, and the other moderated by Fiona Williams, Head of SBS Movies, at the Jetty Memorial Theatre. At both sessions, John Shipton, Gabriel Shipton and director Ben Lawrence participated, with the audiences also being able to ask questions directly of SWIFF’s festival guests. “As a film festival, SWIFF brings many real life stories to

Coffs Harbour via our various documentary programs,” said Dave. “I can’t recall a story that connects Coffs Harbour to an ongoing global story like the two screenings we hosted over the weekend, about the ongoing plight of Julian Assange’s incarceration in Ben Lawrence’s documentary ITHAKA. “At the Q&A session I moderated, from the questions and statements from the audience, my overall sense was that people are

impassioned to support Julian Assange, but unsure of where to direct their support – which is ultimately why this film was made, to help people around the world know that the fight for Julian Assange’s freedom continues as a grassroots movement to lobby for his release.” To support the campaign to stop Julian Assange being extradited to the US, sign the petition at https://ithaka. movie/take-action/.

Council Newsroom SCU Coffs Harbour health services expand Spotlight

q SCU Stage 2 Health Services Precinct expansion on course.

Welcome to our first monthly column in News of the Area bringing you the latest and greatest projects, what’s on events and how you can Have Your Say on key Council plans.

SOUTHERN Cross University is set to expand health services in Coffs Harbour through new funding to complete Stage 2 of its Health Services Precinct. Minister for Regional Education, Senator the Hon Bridget McKenzie, said $27.5 million will be invested to provide a community health clinic with speech and voice labs, mental health and therapy rooms, rehabilitation and exercise studios and consultation rooms. “Our commitment to invest $27.5 million to deliver Stage 2 of the Southern Cross University Coffs Harbour Health Precinct will deliver a community health clinic that will serve the community and provide clinical placements for students,” Minister McKenzie said. “Coffs Harbour is one of four emerging North Coast regional cities with population set to grow by 25 percent in the next fifteen years.

“This investment will deliver a vital health hub for the region to meet the increased demand for health services and will help to future proof Coffs Harbour’s healthcare workforce which is essential for the region to continue to grow and prosper. “There will be state of the art laboratories and teaching facilities in bioscience, anatomy, physiology and chemistry and simulation labs to support STEM degrees.” Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the proposal builds on the Government's initial $12 million investment in Stage 1 of the Precinct and recognises the growing needs of the community. “I have been working on securing funding for over two years after the project was brought to me by Vice Chancellor Tyrone Carlin, so to see it come to fruition is fantastic,” Mr Conaghan said. “More than 150 jobs will be created during construction, and we expect an additional 800 students

in the first five years will be able to study here, adding not just to the local population but the visitor and tourist economy as well.” Vice Chancellor of Southern Cross University, Professor Tyrone Carlin, said the facilities will create local jobs, guarantee essential healthcare services and contribute to the growth and prosperity of the region. “This is a truly exciting announcement for the University. “We are grateful for the opportunity to realise the vision for these new cuttingedge facilities that will attract students and support the development of the regional health workforce of the future,” Professor Carlin said. “The University is committed to working closely with its partners and the community in the region to ensure the benefits of the funding are realised and that we support the development of a thriving future for the Mid North Coast.”

Forest Inquiry Attracts Demonstrators By Andrew VIVIAN

THE members of a NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into the future of the forestry industry visited the Coffs Coast last week and held a public hearing in Coffs Harbour on Friday, 29 April. One of the members, Independent NSW MP Justin Field, has previously called on NSW Forestry Minister Dugald Saunders to pause negotiations to extend North Coast logging contacts until the Government responds to a major report warning of “serious and irreversible” harm to the environmental values of the state’s public forests from the combined impacts of the 21019/20 fires

and ongoing unsustainable logging. Mr Field said, “It is totally unacceptable for the Government to continue to ignore a report they commissioned, from their own specialist natural resources experts, that says business as usual is not possible when it comes to logging on the North Coast.” The visit attracted the attention of environmentalists from the Coffs Coast and beyond. Local conservationists John Pile and Ann Boyle, accompanied the committee on a morning tour of nearby forests. Ms Boyle said they talked about the changes they have

seen over the years and Mr Pile said, “We were talking with the committee about how unsustainable native forest logging is.” Organiser Sean O’Shannessy, a North East Forest Alliance campaigner, told News Of The Area, “We’re here to show the community peacefully and joyfully that we are standing up to protect our native forests from the damage that is done by industrial logging.” Mr Field addressed the demonstrators before the committee’s hearing. “We’ve seen some of the best and the worst today,” he said. “The best was the potential of the Great Koala

q Demonstrators from a number of conservation groups gathered to make their views known to the Inquiry. National Park and the worst were the unsustainable practices. “We know that those magnificent trees are worth so much more if left standing.” He acknowledged the efforts of the crowd and said he was optimistic about the Great Koala National Park. Mr Field finished by saying the report will require the Government to take action, and that it needs to be a Federal Election issue. The demonstrators chanted “stand up for forests” at the end of his speech. Dalian Pugh, OAM, told the crowd that surveys show 67 percent of Australians want no native forest logging. He said most native

forest timber is used for floorboards and we shouldn’t be cutting down koala feed trees to walk on. Mr Pugh said, “Trees are the only proven method of capturing carbon.” The crowd chanted “protect public native forests” and “Great Koala National Park” before dispersing. Mark Graham, Managing Director of the Bellingen Nature Company, made one of the more than 200 submissions to the Inquiry. The basis for his submission was that industrial logging of publicly owned native forests causes significant economic harm to the North Coast economy. His reasons revolved around the damage done to

the forests and water ways. Mr Graham pointed out that nature-based tourism is amongst the fastest growing sectors of the economy and that tourists would be deterred from visiting the Coffs Coast by the increasing visual pollution of logged areas and spoiled waterways. He cited damage to water supply from illegal logging activities and suggested that lifestyle and agriculture would be adversely affected by reduced water quality. Mr Graham also submitted that industrial logging of native forests dries out forests and encourages weed growth, leading to more severe forest fires in the future. The Inquiry has not yet set a date for its report.

supplying prohibited drugs. The older man was charged with four counts of supplying prohibited drugs, possessing prohibited drugs, a gun storage charge and a fraud related charge. At Safety Beach, police seized 150g of cannabis, a prohibited weapon and electronic devices. The occupant, a 48-year-old woman was

arrested and charged with five counts of supplying prohibited drugs, two stolen property charges, possessing a prohibited drug, and possession or use of a prohibited weapon without permit. At Horsley Park, police seized equipment used in the manufacture of prohibited drugs and 1kg of cocaine.

The occupant, a 47-yearold man, was arrested and charged with eight counts of supplying prohibited drugs and a property theft charge. They were all refused bail to appear at Coffs Harbour and Fairfield Local Courts on Friday 29 April 2022. Investigations under Strike Force Coble continue.

Four charged over alleged drug supply FOUR people have been charged over the alleged supply of illicit drugs on the state’s Mid North Coast. In September 2021, detectives attached to Coffs/ Clarence Police District established Strike Force Coble to investigate the supply of prohibit drugs in the Woolgoolga area, 25kms north of Coffs Harbour. Since March 2022, police

have charged eight people – aged between 28 and 45 – with drug offences. They remain before the courts. Following further inquiries, with the assistance of Fairfield Police Area Command, investigators executed simultaneous search warrants at three homes in Woolgoolga, Safety Beach

and Horsley Park from 10am on Thursday 28 April 2022. At Woolgoolga, police seized 12g of cocaine, 50g of cannabis, cash, four firearms and assorted ammunition. The occupants, two men aged 39 and 55-year-old were arrested. The younger man was charged with 25 offences including 23 counts of

One More Chance For Foreshore Feedback By Andrew VIVIAN

THE future of the Jetty Foreshores is of interest to most people in the Coffs Harbour area. A meeting of the Coffs Harbour LGA Residents And Ratepayers Association (CHLGARRA) and the NSW Department of Property Industry and Environment (DPIE), next Thursday, 12 May, at 6pm, at the Coffs Harbour High School, is open to all community members. The process is to inform the community of potential outcomes of rezoning of land at the Foreshore. CHLGARRA stresses that the subsequent sale of land along the railway will set in place the future of the precinct and its role in the community’s life for generations to come. Currently, the DPIE is

considering a rezoning that would enable up to sixstory mixed development, including accommodation on the railway land by private developers. The proposal includes the potential for 300 units along Jordon Esplanade and 80 to 100 units on the former Deep Sea Fishing Club site The proposal includes scope for an additional three stories in the Marina precinct and additional two to three stories on the existing height of the Deep Sea Fishing Club (which would also be undertaken by a private developer). Although the proposed zoning includes buildings immediately across the rail crossing on both sides of Marina Drive, CHLGARRA states that clarification of height limits for this area is

needed. It says the area at the marina which includes Marine Area Command, Dept of Primary Industries Fisheries and Transport Maritime at this stage will only receive a makeover, leaving it open for other uses into the future with no clarity on height limits. According to CHLGARRA, once the land along the railway has been rezoned it will be sold to private developers who will need to put Development Applications into the Coffs Harbour City Council for approval. Funds from the sale of this land are intended to be spent on community projects along the eastern side of Jordan Esplanade. CHLGARRA points out that previous consultations have shown the preferred

and all proceeds from this event will be going to the Cancer Council. “Our first Biggest Morning Tea was last year, and it was a great success. “There were more than 100 people and we raised over $1,000 for the Cancer Council. “Last year people that came along thoroughly enjoyed the food, fun and entertainment and we are doing it all again and hopefully better,” encouraged Kaye. Everyone connected to 2AIRFM is a volunteer wanting to bring great music to the local community and are keen to give entertainment and support to good causes across the Coffs Harbour

community, the Cancer Council being one they have chosen to support. “2AIRFM will be doing some live crossovers during the morning and we are promising a chance to meet the presenters and see what we can offer to the community. “We are hoping for an amazing morning tea and an amazing outcome for the Cancer Council,” said Kaye.

Celebrating Neighbourhood Centre Week 2022 By Andrea FERRARI

NEIGHBOURHOOD Centre Week, happening across Australia from 9 to 15 May 2022, is a nationwide initiative to celebrate the role of over one thousand neighbourhood and community centres. A common thread that runs through every one of the community or neighbourhood centres across Australia, is their inclusive nature. Anyone and everyone is welcome, and members of the community are encouraged to get involved in their community and in the centre’s organisation and myriad programs. The theme of this year’s celebration is 'Building resilience by bringing people together', which is timely post pandemic isolation. Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC) aims to raise awareness of the services available and will host a BBQ at Bunnings on Saturday 14 May to assist in raising funds to meet community needs.

CHNC offers and hosts a range of programs for everyone in our community. “Our programs encourage people to come together, whether

Sawtell Pool closed for rebuild By Andrea FERRARI

A POIGNANT mood pervaded the poolside atmosphere at Sawtell Swimming Pool as squad training finished on the last day before closing for the facility’s rebuild. Now, with nowhere to train, having not been granted training lanes at the spacepressured Coffs Harbour Olympic Swimming Pool, Sawtell swimming coaches, Kim ‘Kimbo’ Roach and Sharen ‘Shaz’ Hackfath, couldn’t give their club members an answer to their questions about when and where their training will commence for next season. Coaches and members of Sawtell Swimming Club are urging Council to either start the rebuild immediately or allow them back into the pool in September to continue training until the rebuild has a start date. “When asked if I could share some achievements, experiences, and memories of Sawtell Pool as it closes for the possible rebuild, my mind went into overdrive,” Shaz told News Of The Area. “I have been blessed with countless and rewarding hours at Sawtell Pool and have

many memorable moments as a Mumma, swim instructor, coach and recreational swimmer. “Sawtell Pool has provided opportunities on so many levels for our rapidly growing and thriving seaside community. “Sawtell Pool was where my kids trained and competed. “Their poolside breakfast treat after training was a Sawtell bakery-bought croissant, before going off to school. “Sawtell Pool was where I trained to become a swim instructor many years ago and most recently moved into coaching with Sawtell Swimming Squads.” Sawtell Swimming Squads have trained five mornings and four afternoons a week under the direction and leadership of coach Kimbo. Adult squads have been coached by Dean ‘Deano’ Hancock and Kim three nights a week. Kim and Shaz describe themselves as coaches with passion and compassion.

The Squads filter swimmers into the Sawtell Swim Club held on Wednesday nights. “We are still hopeful this will continue at the Coffs Harbour Olympic pool in the interim. “Unfortunately, our Sawtell Swimming Squads have been hard hit with the season closure of Sawtell pool on April 30 and for a possible rebuild. “We haven’t been allocated lane space at the Coffs Harbour Olympic pool for the winter season and the rebuild has left us with an unsure direction for Kim and me as well as the Sawtell community. “It was an emotional goodbye at our last training session being unable to provide our families with a venue to train. “We would appreciate any help or guidance from local government or the community…we need a pool. “It is our belief that it is

essential that the current Sawtell Pool reopens in September if the rebuild hasn’t commenced,” urged Shaz. Sawtell Pool hosts many local school swim carnivals and school Learn to Swim programs and without this facility, many people are going to miss out on life saving skills, social recreation and fitness opportunities. “With a population of close to 80,000 in our area, Coffs Olympic Pool is going to be under the pump accommodating for the closure of both Sawtell and Woolgoolga Pools whilst the rebuilds are in progress.

have fun while doing it. “It gives me great joy to teach in Sawtell, I hope we don't have to wait too long for it to return.” A Council spokesperson told News Of The Area, “Sawtell Pool has closed and Council is preparing to go to tender to secure a suitably qualified contractor to build the new facility. “The construction is scheduled to take twelve to fifteen months with a tentative reopening of the pool in October 2023. “The reopening will be subject to timeframes established and confirmed during the tender process.”

such as ‘Boys in Town’ and ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’. Kailey shared the serendipitous moment that led to the creation of the new band. “We met each other at a gig about four years ago and discovered we both love and grew up on the same type of music. “We always spoke about starting a band together, we met at a gig again about two months ago and got talking and decided now was the right time to form a band,” she said. “Benny and I both started performing when we were six years old.

“We were both musically influenced by our dads as our dads are both musicians so we grew up with music around us.” After their performance at the Jetty Beach House, Kailey told News Of The Area what’s in the pipeline for Black Pallas. “We’re just about to support the Choirboys at Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club on 6 May and South West Rocks Country Club on 7 May and we are also performing at River Sounds Festival on 19 August. “Then we have more gigs in the pipeline we are yet to announce.”

Funkadelic art opens at Sawtell Gallery By Andrea FERRARI

FUNK music and hippy culture are huge influences in local Sawtell artist Phil Simpson’s work, an exhibition of which is opening in Sawtell Gallery from Friday 6 May. The special exhibition is titled 'Love, Peace & Oneness Too'. Funky Phil, as he is locally known, has been seriously creating art for over seven years and previously

contributed to a community run art program in Coffs Harbour called Visual Noise with abstract artist Rachel Komasari. Phillip’s unique art pushes boundaries, has a bold colour palette, is socially relevant and is painted through the eyes of how he views our current climate. His inspirations stem from the social and political sectors, splashed with a hippy sense of colour.

q The ‘Dance with us Asian angels again Pauline’ painting was inspired by the parody song ‘I Don’t Like It’ by Pauline Pantsdown and the video that went with the song.

“I am inspired by activist artists like Martin Sharp RIP, Kara Walker and Banksy. “I love the hippy movement and George Clinton. “I’ve been inspired by the Parliament Funkadelic stage show of colours... check out his majestic stroll out of a spaceship landing on stage on YouTube as Dr Funkenstein. “I love his concept of all welcome aboard the mothership (Earth).

q ‘Jennifer Mischief’ is inspired by Jennifer England’s wicked humour, which is evidenced in her art.

Helen spoke about her experience of being awarded NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year in 2021. An inspiration to so many, Helen told News Of The Area, “I like looking after patients and staff and helping them out anyway I can. “I also enjoy sewing for the babies, working in the gift shop, meeting new people and making new friends for life. “The way the community can help is by giving their time up to volunteer and come join us at Coffs Harbour Health Campus volunteering.” Special guests included Mid North Coast Local Health District Governing Board Chair Professor Heather

Professor Cavanagh said the Health District was in awe of the volunteers. “In the past financial year alone, you’ve devoted an enormous 42,956 hours to support our health facilities, our staff and patients – which is a remarkable effort, considering the impacts of COVID on volunteer services. “You’ve gifted an astronomical $264,431 worth of medical equipment and patient comfort items that have made an incredible difference to our staff and services.

“And you’ve done all this with dignity, grace and tenacity. “We thank you for sticking with us… through difficult days, weeks and months. “And we want you to know we need you more than ever, and so do our patients.” The North Eastern Regional Representative to the state executive of the UHA, Dee Hunter, was also present to deliver State President Tracey Wilkinson’s address and to make several special presentations, including two Life Membership awards to Bellingen’s Irene Chesterman and Wauchope’s Win Secombe.

Youth and innovative technologies power waste conference

By Andrea FERRARI

INNOVATION and young people will drive the future of waste management as seen at this week’s Coffs Harbour Waste Conference and Trade Exhibition 2022. Themed ‘Sustainable Solutions for an Evolving Industry’, the event attracted its highest ever number of young delegates, with the conference covering forward-looking topics such as creating a circular economy and product stewardship, while the expo displayed state-of-the-art technologies and equipment. Held at Opal Cove Resort in Coffs Harbour from 3-5 May 2022, the leading conference for the waste management industry in Australia, running since 1996, attracted some 550 delegates who work in, or have an interest in, waste management issues, particularly local government. Eighty delegates joined online. Pre-conference, delegates could attend a behind-the-scenes tour of the local Return and Earn facility - Coffs Container Return Automated Depot the bulk container return

location operated by Sell and Parker. Also pre-event was a forum on Food Organic and Garden Organics (FOGO) – that’s your fruit and veggie scraps, meal left-overs including fish and meat, tea bags and eggshells etc. Attendees participated in an open and robust discussion with both legal and regulatory experts as well as up-and-running FOGO Councils, to share ideas on how to best approach the development of FOGO processing facilities in NSW and be better prepared to negotiate the myriad of decisions that need to be made along this positive journey. The Equipment and Technology Expo provided delegates with accessibility to the latest equipment, see it in action and talk with the suppliers about the innovations in waste management, At the welcome and official opening delegates were invited to watch a short film screening. Called Regenerating Australia, it’s an inspiring, hypothetical news report from 2030 based on interviews with a diverse group of Australians who

were asked about their hopes and dreams for the future. View the trailer at https://youtu.be/ ggCNSlmSecI. Greg Freeman, Managing Director, Impact Environmental Consulting, and the Conference Convenor, was in an upbeat mood at the exhibition witnessing how the industry has evolved. “Today people don’t just ‘buy stuff’, they want to know how it will impact the environment which has driven great change in the industry,” Greg told News Of The Area. Education, innovation and better technologies are changing the industry, which is seeing more young people working across waste management. “It’s great to see so many more young people coming to the conference. “Young people are absolutely inspired about what they can do, and they understand it having been brought up talking about the environment from a young age. “That’s good news because young people will be the ones setting the policies for the future.” Conference speakers and industry specialists

attending focused their conversations and presentations on addressing the issues and providing solutions, talking about such challenges as consumption, disposal, preserving habitat, the backstory of plastics in our oceans and what we can do about it. “We were hearing about moving beyond recycling and creating a circular economy; and about product stewardship which means dealing with the product’s

disposal before it is made,” said Greg “There was fresh content about industry talking with manufacturers to take responsibility for their products’ after life before they make it, so its disposal doesn’t damage the environment.” The next tier is creating energy from waste. “Looking at our three-bin household system, our red bins have a lot of soft plastics in them.

“They are a problem. “What to do with soft plastics – that’s where companies are coming up with new technologies in creating energy. “While our industry is pushed by regulation and community pressure to improve the environment, it is pulled by economic opportunity, and as we have seen very recently, by natural disasters, putting disaster waste management on the agenda,” said Greg.

Meals On Wheels 50th anniversary By Andrea FERRARI

MEALS On Wheels Coffs Harbour is celebrating its 50th birthday with a morning tea on 11 May. “We want to go big with this party,” Bronwyn Webber, a Service Manager who has been with the organisation for 30 years, told News Of The Area. “Past volunteers, current volunteers, past and present recipients and anyone interested in meeting us and finding out more about Meals On Wheels is invited,” she said. “The Mayor Paul Amos is coming, Pat Conaghan is coming, Gurmesh is away,

we have the Sydney rep for Meals On Wheels coming, and anyone from the community can pop by for a cuppa, cake and chat. “We plan on a very sociable morning.” To be held in the Chill 'n' Chat Cafe within the Community Village in Coffs Harbour, the doors open for morning tea at 9.30am and the event will run until 11.30am. The organisation, while based in Coffs Harbour, is a joint force with the former Woolgoolga branch, to give coverage to the bigger region. “Meals On Wheels is more than just a meal - it is a welfare check-in, social

contact, a friendly smiling face and an additional pair of eyes checking to see how clients are going and if we are worried at all we call their family to let them know,” Bronwyn said. At Meals On Wheels the support team recognises the important role food plays in everyone’s lives and they believe that food should be wholesome, tasty and nurturing for your body. “Our meals are nutritionally balanced following the Australian Dietary Guidelines.” The vision of the Coffs Coast Meals On Wheels program is to assist frail older people living in the community to maximize their independence and to remain at home as long as they can

Volunteering Expo By Andrea FERRARI VOLUNTEERING Coffs Harbour is hosting its inaugural volunteer expo on Wednesday 18 May at the Cavanbah Centre main hall from 12:30-2:30 pm. The free expo provides an opportunity for community organisations which support volunteering to link with people seeking volunteering opportunities. “The expo is aimed at helping people across our community be able to see the wide variety of opportunities there are across our community from gardening, to driving, to supporting others, to cooking or working with older people or children. “Whatever your interest or skills - there is bound to be something of interest for everyone,” Di Woods, Manager at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, told News Of The Area. Volunteering Coffs Harbour operates both Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre and Coffs Coast Volunteering, which matches volunteers to services that are seeking

Coffs Coast Meals On Wheels provides an efficient, effective service which is underpinned by a strong focus on enablement and wellness. Clients may refer themselves if they are over 65, or a family member or medical practitioner may refer them, and those with disability can go through NDIS to access the service. Access is available through My Aged Care – the Federal Government’s entry point. “We are also able to provide meals for other people who are not over 65. “If you have a disability, are a carer, recently been in hospital or have an injury, or just need a meal for the freezer – meals can be provided at a retail price. “We have a team of 80

organisations, combining skills and talents to get the best for our community.” Often people who are at Centrelink are obliged to seek fifteen hours of volunteer work; attending the expo is a convenient way to explore your options and seek a meaningful role towards personal employment goals, says Di.

Join in the celebrations on May 11 - just give a call to 02 6648 3600 confirming your attendance, for catering purposes. “The expo provides a wonderful opportunity to find where everyone fits and can contribute. “With the expo, every organisation that supports volunteers has the opportunity to let community members know the range of positions they have available and explain how their organisation supports our community and what those volunteers will contribute to. “It is inspiring to be part of something that can be much bigger than what we can achieve alone.” Stall holders and community have the opportunity to exchange info and engage in active conversation about volunteer opportunities and finer details. Over 25 stall holders will provide information about their organisation, the work they do and the roles they have available. People will be able to register their interest to volunteer directly with organisations on the spot. Free tickets are available at www. trybooking.com/BYZQO.

Join the Women’s Shed Community Forum By Andrea FERRARI

THE Coffs Harbour Women’s Shed project steering committee is running a forum for feedback from the community, on Wednesday 11 May at the Cavanbah Centre in Coffs. A Coffs Harbour Lions Club initiative, the Women’s Shed has been created in response to local need, says the group. Having opened a survey in late 2020, the Women’s Shed Project found the Coffs Harbour community wanted a safe, supportive and social space for women only. Coffs Harbour Lions

Club established a steering committee of experienced women to drive this project with the vision to construct a large, non-political, inclusive place where women of all backgrounds and ages come together to form friendships, gain new skills, solve problems and support other women. “The goal is to empower women who are lonely, isolated, ageing, disabled, disadvantaged, recovering from domestic violence and/or financially unstable to become confident, selfsufficient and in control of their lives…and to have fun doing it,” says Lexie Clark, President of Coffs Harbour

we do, creates a sense of belonging,” Di Woods, Manager at CHNC, told News Of The Area. It is important for children to have opportunities to connect with their family, community, culture and environment and in doing so, build their own unique identity. “Giving them the opportunity to interact with different people outside of their school or family circles builds confidence, resilience and their ability to connect with others, all contributing to leading to healthier and happier relationships.” Families can develop positive relationships with children by simply being in the moment and spending quality time together.

to turn the anecdotal support of this project into evidence by conducting the forum next Wednesday for people who work with women. “We will present our vision and plans to those attending,” said Lexie. “Their feedback, input and support is vital to the development of the project and to successful outcomes for women.” The Forum will be held at 3.00pm on Wednesday 11 May 2022 at The Cavanbah Centre, 191 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour. RSVP at www. coffswomensshed.org.

“Sometimes it is easy to be distracted by things such as television or phones but giving our children our time and attention without distraction shows them that they are important, and what they are doing and thinking matters to us.” Di has witnessed these activities become a wonderful opportunity for parents to get to know their children as a person, to open discussions and explore their thoughts, opinions and feelings in an out-of-home environment. “Allowing children to be creative gives a wonderful opportunity for parents and carers to show acceptance;

to notice what they are doing and encourage it without judgment or correction. “Part of being in the moment with our children allows them the opportunities to take the lead.” With Mother’s Day upcoming on Sunday 8 May, there was an opportunity for the children to be able to demonstrate and voice their appreciation and love, with all the benefits of providing a variety of ways to express emotion. “Mother's Day is celebrated across more than 46 countries of the world mothers and mother-figures are indispensable,” said Di.

What does the Chef recommend and what do they like to eat at home? “Our chefs highly recommend the whole fresh fish on our menu, however make sure you check the ever changing specials as we have some amazing dishes based on what the local fishermen have caught. “When our head chef Karen is home she likes to eat simple and healthy dishes like grilled salmon with mixed veggies tossed in an Asian inspired dressing of ginger, soy and tamarind,” Carl said.

“The Sawtell Hotel has been at the heart of the lovely little beach community in Sawtell since 1932.

“Sawtell is a bustling town full of families, surfers and holiday makers and it is hard not to fall in love with

the town and its offerings. “Being only a short stroll from the beach it is easy to see why this location was perfect to open a hotel with a relaxed family friendly vibe.

DEAR Jasminda,

By Manny WOOD

MY husband and I are house-sitting a very large property and have been told that we can use the pool, spa and sauna along with making ourselves at home in whatever way we choose. After day three of this month-long venture, the owners have alerted me to the very sophisticated monitoring system that they can access via their mobile phones. I now feel like a contestant on Big Brother and don't want to do anything except sit in the loungeroom under a blanket, whispering to my husband in case we are overheard. This opportunity is feeling like a punishment.

Joint ownership traps JOHN and Tony are good friends who have known each other for many years. They are both looking to buy an investment property and decide to pool their resources and purchase a property together. They find a large rural property which includes two separate dwellings. They each contribute to the purchase price and the payment of stamp duty. John decides to use the larger dwelling for long-term rental accommodation and Tony uses the other dwelling for short-term tourist accommodation. Several years pass until it is discovered that John’s tenants have vacated with a substantial arrears in rent. John demands that the outstanding rent is paid and in response, the tenants claim that the property was not fit for occupation due to water leaks and electrical faults. The tenants say that they informed Tony of the issues but he said, “It’s not my problem.” After an unpleasant confrontation with Tony, John seeks legal advice. It is revealed that the property is owned by John and Tony as joint tenants. John is horrified when he learns that if he passed-away before Tony, Tony would receive the whole property by way of survivorship. John immediately instructs his solicitor to “sever” the joint tenancy, creating a 50/50 ownership as “tenants in common”. John is also not happy to hear that there is a question as to the validity of the lease that he entered into with his tenants because Tony, as the other owner of the property, did not sign the lease. There is also a question as to whether John should have shared the rental proceeds with Tony. As John may also face a cross-claim by the tenants, he does not pursue this further. John is then informed that if he wants to sell the property, he cannot do so without Tony signing the contract, or without an order of the Court, appointing a trustee to take carriage of the sale. When buying property with another party, seek legal advice and consider entering into a written agreement regarding the use of the property and its realisation. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email me at manny@tblaw.net.au or call me on (02) 66 487 487.

Vote To End the Cruelty to Refugees DEAR News Of The Area,

THE Liberal/National Government has now detained refugees and asylum seekers on Nauru, in PNG and in various places of detention in Australia for just on nine years. There have been some fourteen deaths of detainees mostly by suicide, in Nauru and New Guinea over these years and many more of these people are suffering from serious long term mental health issues The Government spends more than $4 million per refugee per year to keep 112 refugees out of sight and out of mind on the tiny island of Nauru. That’s more than half a billion dollars of taxpayers’ money every year! As the Federal Election approaches the Government has announced a belated agreement to transfer 450 refugees over three years for settlement in New Zealand. The NZ offer has been on the table since 2013. These places offered by New Zealand are not nearly sufficient to assist the 1200 refugees currently requiring a solution to their continuing uncertainty and despair. These people have committed no crime. They have made often terrifyingly dangerous journeys to escape war, conflict, persecution and torture in their home

countries and then simply exercised their legal rights under the Refugee Convention to seek asylum in Australia. These people should be released into the community where they can live, work, pay taxes and contribute their skills and expertise to our country. At the upcoming election the Coalition parties must be held to account for this expensive, cruel and inhumane treatment of refugees. The Labor Party has also never raised any serious concerns about these draconian Government policies. At the next election I urge voters to vote for a candidate who will support: - A government that treats asylum seekers and refugees with fairness and humanity. - A government which declares that it will end the mandatory detention of people seeking safety. - A government that offers permanent protection to genuine refugees. - A government that supports refugees and helps them to rebuild their lives and contribute to our society. Regards, Paul BARTHOLEMEW, Boambee East.

Independent Issues

DEAR News of the Area,

THERE is a notable increase in independent candidates standing in this year’s Federal Election. The independents’ general cry, and usually in the name of worthy causes, is to achieve ”a voice in Parliament”. This is a laudable ambition in itself, however a boutique view of politics and government is not helpful to running the country. Many years of our (imperfect) western democratic traditions have shown that governing a country requires strong well-

honed policies over a great range of topics and problems, not just special issues. Over time this has been best achieved through the major-party system in spite of many unattractive manifestations within the parties and the political system as a whole. “A voice in Parliament” is a fine rallying cry, but tends to focus on single issue policies which has often led to that ‘voice’ becoming a cry in the wilderness of Government business. Another danger is that if elected in regional areas, independents will be outliers just like the Nationals, unlikely to have significant influence on Government, except

media@newsofthearea.com.au

DEAR Carrie, I CAN only imagine what prompted the owners to alert you to the monitoring system. Were they perhaps remotely checking the pool filter settings while sipping cocktails in the Maldives and noticed what could only be described as a rowdy toga party taking place around the pool? Were they just making sure that the automatic sprinkler system was working when they caught you frolicking around the yard in their dressing gowns hitting golf balls in the direction of their stunned dairy cows? Did they check the formal dining area and see your husband overfeeding their prized albino Asian Arowana because he'd missed a couple of days? These are the sorts of reasons they have possibly told you about their monitoring system. Like the property, you also need to be alert and alarmed. I'd be refraining from any activity that you wouldn't normally do in their company. Alternatively, throw a few towels over those strategically placed cameras and start talking in code. Or you could use it as a social experiment. After a while you will probably forget all about the 24-hour surveillance. How the owners deal with this is up to them. They should have fully informed you of the set up prior to you agreeing to it, instead of being sneaky voyeurs. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

in ‘support’ for specific local concerns. At least there is a strong unity across independents in calling out the appalling lack of action on climate change. In a well-tested democratic tradition the party role in getting things done is best served when the responsibility is down to the voting public, the main opposition party and a critical media. Regards, Geoff PRATT, Sawtell.

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD DURING WW1, whenever local residents received a letter from family or friends involved in the conflict, they would permit sections to be published for public interest. While many refer to the writer’s

A Letter From the Front experiences such as the boat journey to Egypt, their involvement in a particular battle or a description of everyday camp life, Pierce Morrissey’s letter to his father John, of Upper Orara, is different. These somewhat controversial extracts were printed in the local newspaper on 1 May 1915. “By now all the interest has died out of Egypt, and we have practically nothing to talk about. “Of course, the Sydney daily papers get hold of a lot of news which is merely bogus. “I, being among the Cognoscenti, have to laugh at some of the efforts of these

Party System is Broken DEAR News Of The Area,

THANK YOU Keith Bensley (‘If the Nationals are not reflecting community views, have your say’, p27, Coffs Coast NOTA, April 28 Edition) for generously suggesting I join the National Party where, as a member, I could directly influence the party’s direction and policies. Unfortunately the issue, as I see it, is that the party system is broken. Political parties are beholden to large corporate donors to support the campaigning and election of their

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

OPINION

candidates – this is an untenable conflict of interest. Headquartered in capital cities and isolated in the halls of parliament, the parties seem to spend their time arguing with each other and doing very little of significance for their constituency. Cowper has a housing crisis, a climate crisis, public schools desperate for more teachers, and a crisis of access to essential health services – I had to pay privately for my hip replacement or, at 83 years of age, wait three years on the public hospital waiting list, by which time I’d be

journals. “For instance, that tale about the New Zealanders being in action on the Suez was purely imaginary. “They were entrenched there, but returned without firing a shot in anger. “There was a scrap, but that was at long range between a gunboat and an 8-inch Turkish gun, and the great accounts given of prisoners taken in action was all wrong. “They were all deserters, and glad enough to be in good hands, where they could get a feed sometimes. “I did not know that the rejects had reached Australia.

“Some 300 Australians were sent back on the Kyarra; a number medically unfit and others were lawbreakers. “Some of them had cold feet, perhaps; but the majority used their heads and worked their ticket, fed up with the contingent. “It is not the picnic they thought it would be. “I notice that Capt. Bean (official war correspondent) climbed down over his assertions in the Sydney dailies and now has nothing too good to say for the 1st Australian Division. “An indignation meeting was held in condemnation of his line of conduct. “It is surprising how these men suffer from swelled head when they carry a few stars on their shoulders.”

very unlikely to ever get back on the tennis court. I worry when I talk to my neighbours and the renters say they will have to move because they cant afford the latest rent increase – rents have gone up but wages have stagnated. I worry when not all in my neighbourhood can afford to get their storm-damaged homes repaired. I worry for my grandchildren and great grandchildren who are growing into a world more divided between the haves and the have-nots. Perhaps the problem is the size of the electorate. When Ian Robinson won Cowper for the

Country Party in 1963, there were 40,000 voters. Cowper now has 125,000 voters. Perhaps my ideal of a local member who can hear the concerns of the Cowper constituents is now naïve. I want a MP who will hear the concerns of my neighbourhood. The existing party system cannot deliver that. I don’t know if the teal independents are the way to go but I reckon being beholden to the electorate rather than to the party has to be an improvement on what we’ve got now. Thankyou, Colin GRANT.

What will become of the Jetty Foreshores? DEAR News Of The Area,

I HAVE previously written to the paper suggesting it was apparent the community would be betrayed by the NSW Government’s manoeuvring in relation to the Jetty Foreshores. With the release of the Draft Master Plan it is now completely evident that this has happened. In a joint press release by Melinda Pavey and Gurmesh Singh dated 5/10/20 they stated, “It is important to iterate that nothing is set in stone.

“The Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores Draft Concept Plan will be determined by and for the community”. Currently on Gurmesh’s website there is a page devoted to the release of this plan and it quotes the following. “The NSW Government has listened to the community’s earlier feedback and used it to develop a draft master plan concept.” So Gurmesh, please point to anywhere in the reports on the community consultation undertaken over the last five years where this community has endorsed significant parts of the foreshores being turned into

multi-level (some would say high rise) private residential enclaves. In answering my question, could you please refer to page 19 of the meeting of PSAC 6 held on 8/6/2021 where the Ethos Urban Report states in relation to ‘Open Feedback on Big Ideas’. ‘Development: No residential development within the foreshore precinct. ‘No hotel accommodation within the precinct, leave it for the community rather than a section of the community’. Gurmesh, it’s time to represent the community that elected you, not sectional

interests or the philosophy of the government you are part of. For those concerned about how we are being treated, Coffs Harbour LGA Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc. has organised a meeting with the Government Department involved on Thursday 12 May at 6.00pm in the auditorium at Coffs Harbour High School. Look forward to seeing you there. Regards, Bruce WEIR, Coffs Coast.

In support of the Great Koala National Park DEAR News Of The Area,

THE recent allocation of funds for the protection of koalas is welcomed. But, Australia has one of the highest numbers of endangered native animals in the world. Significant action must be taken, if we are to protect our unique animals and allow them to thrive. That is why I support the establishment of the Great Koala National Park (GKNP) for our region.

The GKNP would stop logging in state native forests, and add the 175,000 hectares. to the existing 140,000 hectares in protected areas, and create an area in which our koalas (which represents 20 percent of the state’s koalas) would thrive. It has been proposed after extensive research and its modelling has been assessed by the research department of the Newcastle University, and considered to be sound. The GKNP not only is established for the protection of our koalas and other

endangered native animals, such as the eastern quoll and gliders, it would establish and increase the amount of recreational options in the area. Bike tracks, walking tracks, horse trails all will be extended and improved. It would create, over fifteen years, almost 10,000 additional jobs in our area and bring in an extra $400 million in tourism. The establishment of the GKNP would cost the existing forestry jobs in native forestry logging, but the present logging of native forests runs at a loss.

Coffs Jetty Revitalisation Plans DEAR News Of The Area,

THE most significant change by far envisaged by the plan is the proposal to permit construction of residential accommodation. Yet this significant part of the plan does not rate a mention until about page 28 of the 32 page document. A proposal to change the use of the area from a public open space/recreational precinct to a residential one would have a profound and degrading impact on the whole area. Residents themselves so close to the railway line will be significantly impacted

Friday, 6 May 2022

by locomotive noise, air pollution, and vibration resulting in detrimental impacts on their health and amenity. Recreational visitors to the foreshores will be significantly impacted by competition from residents using the facilities as an extension of their otherwise non-existent outdoor space. Currently during holiday seasons, the foreshore is often crowded with visitors competing for space and access to facilities. And the extremely limited vehicular and pedestrian access to the jetty results in regular congestion and gridlock traffic conditions.

Introducing residential accommodation to the area will make such conditions a regular feature for anyone attempting to access the foreshores. And during holiday seasons, the severe congestion for lengthy periods will result in restricted access and use of the whole area. Introducing residential accommodation to the Jetty foreshores would undermine the otherwise magnificent plans and destroy the healthy and attractive current space and the recreational vibe of the whole area. It is time the State government embraced de-privatisation and preserved

www.newsofthearea.com.au

It is the forest plantations that are profitable. The GKNP would create continuing work for foresters; in maintenance, management and restoring our native forests. As well, it would create work for trades people, environmentalists and tour operators. This is why I fully support the creation of the Great Koala National Park. Regards, Edmund LOUREY, Coffs Coast. our precious limited public open space for the health and benefit of an exploding population. Further, if a fraction of the profit from the sale of public land for private development is required to fund the "revitalisation", the whole community would be far better off to ditch the plan and simply leave it to Coffs Harbour City Council to successfully manage the foreshores as it has done in the past. And that has entailed preserving public open space, not sacrificing it for private development. Go to coffsjettyrevitalisation.com.au before 11 June to have your say on the development plans. Regards, Stephen J. PRATT, Coffs Harbour.

PROPERTYWEEK 2/13 Nariah Crescent, Toormina Open House: Saturday 7 May – 11.0011.30am Price: $599,000 2 beds/1 bath/1 car SELDOM do we come across a two-bedroom villa with a rear yard bigger than most houses! Perfect for those who want the outdoor space without the maintenance requirements of a large house. Set at the rear of a two villa strata, the property is perfectly positioned for privacy, both villas are joined by a common garage wall, so noise is not an issue. The villa itself is largely open plan with entry into an open plan living area that boasts both air conditioning and ceiling fans. For ease of cleaning and maintenance

the floors are also tiled throughout the living areas and passageways. The lounge area flows either way to the dining area and large functional kitchen complete with dishwasher and large double sink. Whilst in the other direction of the loungeroom is the rear patio which looks over the massive, level rear yard. The rear yard is itself in excess of 450sqm, something we struggle to find in stand-alone houses these days. It even has a garden shed and minimal plantings, so in many ways it is a blank canvas for the new owner. Not only is it a huge yard, but the orientation of the house and driveway would allow vehicular access to it. Back inside both bedrooms have built

in mirrored robes, ceiling fans and vertical blinds. They are both serviced by a bathroom with a bath and separate shower, whilst the toilet is totally separate, a huge bonus for the family. The laundry is also separate and the attached single garage with remote garage door has direct access to the kitchen, great for unloading the groceries. The current tenant in place is keen to stay for another lease and has instructed they are happy to pay above market rental.

By Aiden BURGESS

S AW T E L L / TO O R M I NA Saints women have produced a defensive masterclass in shutting down the Port Macquarie Magpies to win their first game of the AFL North Coast season. The Saints kept the Magpies goalless for most of the game which set up their 6.5 (41) to 1.2 (8) victory in Round 2 on home turf at Richardson Park. The Saints grounded the Magpies into submission thanks to a relentless pressure which had the visitors rattled. The Saints dominated the contested possession, as tough tackling and unrelenting pressure was the backbone for the Saints to win

the ball and create numerous forward 50 entries. The Saints backline also stood firm taking a number of intercept marks as well as spoiling any Magpie attacks. Saints player and Sydney Swans Academy member Lilli-Yana Moody was best on ground, showing her class winning plenty of ball and hitouts in the ruck. Saints captain RhianonLee Carulli-Taylor praised the defensive performance of her side. “We were good at staying on our players and getting the clearances out of the middle,” she said. “We want to keep it in our forward line and pin it in there once it is, as we know how hard we work to get it in

there. “Our defence was great and we wanted to keep lifting towards the end, as the games not over till that final siren sounds.” Saints coach Daniel Pritchard revealed the message he gave his players to prepare for the new season. “It’s not about doing the good stuff well, but the basic stuff right,” he said. “Full credit to the girls, they did that today, and we've been training on a few fundamental things like tackling which they showed today.” The Saints women will look for two wins in a row when they host the Northern Beaches Blues this weekend at Richardson Park.

NORTHERN NSW athletes Gen van Rensburg, 18, and Zara Temesi, 16, have brought home impressive results in the U19 European Cup in Barcelona, Spain, their first international competition in over two years. In a competitive field, Gen, from Newcastle, won bronze and topped both the fencing and swimming events. Zara, from Coffs Harbour, secured sixth place with a strong finish in the laser-run, which was second fastest in the competition and a personal best. Overcoming the long-haul travel to display the excellent form which was on show at the recent Australian National

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Championships, held in Melbourne from 22 to 24 April just one week earlier, where Gen and Zara each won their respective senior and under 19 age categories. Gen confirmed her abilities as Fencing Australia’s number one ranked female epeeist when she won the fencing event in Barcelona on Saturday, with only five hits lost in 30 one-hit matches. Gen was also fastest in the pool, with a time of 2:17. In the laser-run, She improved on the personal best of 13:33 she set at the Australian National Championships, with a new best of 13:08. Zara set personal bests in both the swim and laser-run. Temesi’s blistering time of 11:53 in the laser-run is of senior world championship standard and within sight of the current open women’s

world record of 11:15, set at last year’s World Cup Final in Hungary. The horse-riding element of pentathlon is not part of the under 19 international events but both teenagers already have years of experience at this event both on their own horses and a range of other horses with their riding instructors in northern NSW. Janse van Rensburg and Temesi show exceptional promise under the tutelage of Adam Temesi and 2004 Olympian Eszter Hortobagyi, and fencing coaches Bill Ronald and Scott Arnold respectively, both also Australian Olympians. Achieving impressive results across all categories, at only 18 and 16 years of age, Gen and Zara are shaping up to be formidable international competitors and potentially Olympians themselves.

Four From Four for NCF By David WIGLEY

NORTH Coast Football won four matches from four against Newcastle’s Adamstown Rosebuds in the National Premier League last Sunday. The North Coast scored a whopping 27 goals throughout the day, with the under 13s winning 11-0, under 14s winning 7-1, 15s winning 6-3 and the under 16s finishing the clean sweep with a 3-2 win.

Head coach Alex Nolan was pleased with the clean sweep but wasn’t getting carried away with the results. “On a day with perfect football weather, we managed to clinch a win in the U16s to make it four wins from four games. “For me it’s not the results that matter, it’s the players facing new challenges each week and trying to find solutions. “Today we were able to overcome some tough

situations and take the three points. “We had some players step up out of their comfort zone this week and it was pleasing to see them step-up to the occasion. “A special shout out to Kai Veneziano who stepped up an age group and found the back of the net in the final seconds of the game to give the U16’s a 3-2 win,” said Alex. The North Coast hit the road on Saturday 7 May to face Newcastle Olympic FC at Lake Macquarie.

Community, Connection, and Culture at the Naru Surf Gathering By Sam PARKER

OFFSHORE winds and fine conditions welcomed a crowd of over 100 surfers and beachgoers at the Naru Surf Gathering, held in Coffs Harbour on Saturday. The event showcased Indigenous competitors from eight years old, through to open men’s and women’s in a clean swell that allowed the surfers to display their talents. It’s the first time since 2019 that the event has been run, with Covid forcing organisers to cancel the last two instalments. In the early rounds of the men, the big names scored victories, with Otis Carey and Russ Molony notching up their first round wins. Neither could match that success in the final however, with Taj Simon pipping Joseph Haddon for top honours.

In the open women, youngster Leihani Zoric backed up from her win in the under thirteen girls to find a spot in the final, but Jasmine McCorquodale ended up victorious, beating Summer Simon who finished in second place. In the other divisions, Atlas Zoric took out the eight years, brothers Harlem and

Hunter Winkler won the under thirteens and sixteens respectively, Bodhi Simon won the junior girls, Melissa Combo edged out Rory Togo in the longboards and Scott Winch took out the Masters. Seasoned competitor Darren Skinner was also in the mix, scoring a new board for the competition’s good vibe award.

Marlins Power Home By David WIGLEY

THE SCU Marlins powered to a 22-12 victory against the Port Pirates last Saturday at their new home ground, the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park.

The Pirates started with waves of swashbuckling attacks which had the Marlins under the pump from the opening whistle. Last gasp tackles from a resolute defence denied the rampant Pirates a first try

Event organiser Amber Hamer said the competitors were fantastic. “The calibre of the surfing was brilliant. “We’re in an exciting space, with some really progressive, powerful surfing. “The judges were really impressed, especially with

some of the turns from the young girls coming through.” And while the competition gives the surfers a chance at bragging rights amongst mates, the tournament also aims to promote healthy lifestyles within the Indigenous community, specifically

focusing on mental health. “It can be quite lonely as an Aboriginal surfer without the support of a group,” Mrs Hamer said. “It’s so good for them to be able to speak face-to-face, sit down with their family and connect with each other for the day.”

COFFS United Lions defeated Port United 2-1 to maintain their winning streak of four wins from four matches in the men’s Coastal Premier League. Port United took the game to last year’s premiers and had the Lions on the back foot for large periods of the first half. Port's possession and intensity paid off as Matt Bale was the first to react to a loose ball in the penalty box to open the scoring with a tap-in from six yards. The Lions roared back ten minutes later after Martin Kelleher was tripped in the penalty area and Joel Hampson stepped up to equalise.

After 60 minutes of end to end football the game was finely poised at 1-1 as both teams poured forwards in search of a winner. Both teams went close to taking the lead and as Port United committed men forwards the Lions struck on the counter attack when Chris Dooley penetrated down the left wing and struck the ball into the bottom corner. Dooley couldn't hold back his emotion as he celebrated with a backward somersault. Lions coach Glen Williams praised the opposition and spoke about having to find solutions at half time. “It was a good battle, the first half we didn’t come out with intensity, we spoke about that at half-time, just trying to lift our intensity and get back

into the game. “We played at their pace and that didn’t work for us, half time was a blessing and we came out better in the second half and played how we wanted to play.” Coach Williams shared the message he gave the players in the half-time team talk. “It was about increasing the intensity, be first to the ball, we were on the back foot in the first half. “We changed a couple of things and got back into the game, we adapted to the situation which I am proud of the lads for,” he said. Goalscorer Chris Dooley praised the quality of the opposition. “Very tough match, they are the best team we have faced so far.

“In the second half we started stretching the game out wide,not to just play one way, to get more organised, to gel better and play the ball around them which we did in the second half and it worked out well for us.”

Dooley recalled the winning goal and the peer pressure behind the somersault celebration. “The ball came through to me, I can’t remember how and through my peripheral vision I saw the goalkeeper

Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club young gun wins national junior title

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour Surf Life Saving Club young gun Quinn Evans has done his club proud by winning a national title. The thirteen-year-old won the U13 Male Beach Flags event at the 2022 Australian Surf Life Saving Youth Championships on the Gold Coast. Evans topped a field of 45 to win the under 13 national title on the Gold Coast beaches. The win was made even more special as it was the first time his age group

competed at the national championships, making him the inaugural winner of his event. In addition to his win in the beach flags, Evans also finished sixth in the U13 Male Beach Sprint. He won his quarter final and finished third in his semi-final to qualify for the beach sprint final. The junior national champion is coached by his father Phil, who is the current beach coach for the Coffs Harbour Surf Lifesaving Club. It was certainly a proud moment watching his son

reach the pinnacle of his sport. “It was extra special as he had a couple of false starts at the Country Championships, and he reached his potential at nationals,” he said. “It’s the pinnacle of his sport and you can't get much better.” Phil shared with News Of The Area what his son was like to coach. “He’s a good listener and does exactly what he’s told,” he said. “He takes it all in and absorbs it, and he asks questions when he needs to

know something.” The proud father explained what made his son such a great beach flag athlete. “His agility and speed basically, and he has a great reaction time as he’s usually the first up from the sand,” he said. “He’s very precise which you need to be, as if you stick your head up before the starting signal you are disqualified.” Quinn Evans has also been helping his dad coach the youngest nippers of the Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club.

a side competition so getting an extra run out is great,” said Shahab. Program manager Kyle Gwynne was upbeat about the new competition. “We are looking to provide opportunities for players of all ages and abilities to play football at the new facility at Coffs Harbour Football Centre. “It's a fun, safe, supportive environment, we had a great turnout at the trial nights, it was a great atmosphere and we are looking forward to competitions getting underway. “I grew up playing football for Sawtell and am really excited by the positive impact we could have in the Coffs Harbour community. “If you’re interested in playing, have a look at our website at www.cf6.com.au,” said Kyle.

COFFS Harbour Breakers have shown in no uncertain terms they are the early season favourites for the AFL North Coast flag, after a dominant win against the Northern Beaches Blues at Fitzroy Oval. The Breakers crushed the Blues by 120 points in the second round of the AFL North Coast season. The win was their second in a row to start the season, as last season’s minor premiers have picked up where they left off last year.

GRIFF’S CANADIAN ADVENTURE

ABC, 6.10pm

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

You may be a late bloomer to gardening, or perhaps you’re a seasoned green thumb; whatever you are, this long-running series sows a seed in viewers’ hearts. For some it’s the beguiling nature of big-bearded host Costa Georgiadis, for others it’s the no-fail, straightforward tips and tricks, but once you’ve dug into this show, your Friday night roots are ﬁrmly planted. Your future might soon involve your own personal egg supply after being inspired by Costa and Millie Ross’s (above) homemade chook run tonight. Jerry Coleby-Williams explores the colourful world of bougainvilleas and Josh Byrne visits a verdant fern garden in Perth’s dry suburbs.

The truth about travelling is that it turns many of us into grumps: catching ﬂights, trains and visiting a never-ending itinerary of destinations can quickly mutate into a hard slog, rather than a fun adventure. That’s exactly why witnessing someone else do the tourist thing from the comfort of your own home can be such a delight – especially when its bright-eyed and playful comedian Griﬀ Rhys Jones. This is a man who sees the funny side of everything and carries a backpack full of awe. His Canadian sojourn is punctuated with unexpected moments and spectacular scenery. This week is about “Frenchness”, with Montreal, Quebec City, bagels and ice hockey on the menu.

BIG BROTHER

PRIME7, 7.30pm

If you thought you were done and dusted with Big Brother this lifetime, think again. In a turn of events almost too exciting for fans to process without breaking into a Sara-Marie-style bum dance, this new season features well-known past contestants. Besides the fact the reality TV pioneer is returning for its 14th season on its third TV network, it’s certainly a sign of a love when past housemates agree to rendez-vous for the mind games and food rationing once again. Among the series’ 21 housemates, the “royalty” includes 2003 winner Reggie Bird, 2004 winner Trevor Butler and farmer Dave Graham (2006, above). Prepare for an awesome twist. 0605

By David WIGLEY

COFFS Coast Tigers centre back Daniel Campbell has jetted to Barcelona to represent Australia in the International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) World Cup. It’s an unbelievable experience that isn’t lost on the Coffs Harbour teenager. “The experience of going to my second World Cup just at the age of nineteen is mind blowing, I am very excited,” he said. “I haven’t been to Barcelona before. "With the tournament being 90 mins south of Barcelona in a town called Salou it’s going to be a good experience. “The hotel we are staying at is so close to the beach it’s pretty incredible, the weather has been cool and cloudy which is pretty good for football." Daniel has developed a unique running style on the tips of his toes to help compensate for Cerebral Palsy that he’s had since a child. Daniel flew out of Sydney last Tuesday with the Pararoos and will compete at the IFCPF World Cup in

CHH

Barcelona until 16 May. The Pararoos are currently ranked number ten in the world and will face Iran and the USA in the group stages, with both rivals ranked higher at number four and six in the world. Daniel is striving for Australia to break into the top ten. “Training has been good going into the World Cup and the goal for this tournament is to try and get that single digit ranking because currently we are ranked tenth in the world,” said Daniel. Whilst the whole community is thrilled with Daniel’s achievements, no one is more chuffed than his mother Anne Crampton. “We are very proud of Daniel to be representing Australia,” Anne said. “He and all the team have worked hard to achieve selection. “The sponsorship of the team by Commbank is a huge step forward in increasing support for this deserving team and the newly formed women’s team.”
