By Ned COWIE

IN THE wake of a dryer than average August and September, water deliveries in the Nambucca Valley are currently in high demand. Deliveries are taking up to three weeks to be filled even in the most urgent of cases, with many residents reporting that carriers are too busy even to answer their enquiries. For residents in the South Arm area, which was ravaged by fires just four years ago, this is a particularly worrying situation as water for fighting fires is always an extra consideration. Local water carrier Wayne Howle says he has been to properties where residents have already used their

fire-fighting supplies for household use. According to the Nambucca Valley Council website, there are approximately 6500 properties connected to the Nambucca Valley water supply system but around 4000 residents in remote and rural areas are reliant on a variety of other methods of water supply. Wayne has some tips for would-be customers. “Physically get out there and look at your tank,” Wayne said. “If it has rings on the outside like many plastic water tanks have, check where the tank is up to and then check again next week to see how many centimetres it drops in a week.” For those who are needing water and have some capacity to carry it, there are a couple of Council-run access points available to residents. One recently-installed water filling station is located in George Street, Bowraville. Another is in Ken Howard Crescent, Nambucca Heads. These stations have both a 25mm and 80mm

outlet and users are advised that they will need to provide their own hoses to connect to the water outlets.

Payment is via credit card following the instructions noted on the station. The cost of the water is

$7.00 per kL. Look for the big blue boxes at these locations.

NAMBUCCA Valley residents with an interest in fishing are invited to attend a free workshop from the South West Rocks Anglers Association (SWRAA) on Sunday 22 October from 11am-1pm. “Join us for a fun and informative event where you'll learn all about fishing knots!” an Anglers Association spokesperson told NOTA. “Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, this event is perfect for you. “We'll cover a wide range of knots that you

2NVR named a finalist in three categories at the 2023 Community Radio Awards FROM Page 1 landscape. Community radio provides a contrasting range of viewpoints that enrich our social and cultural fabric, promote the distinct personalities of communities they serve, present opportunities for free-toair public broadcasting and provide alternate content, separate to commercial broadcasters. The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA), a notfor-profit organisation, was established in 1974 to serve as a body to promote community broadcasting that includes radio and television. Each year the CBAA acknowledges excellence in community radio through their Community Radio Awards. This year Nambucca Valley Radio 105.9 FM (2NVR) has been nominated as finalists in three award categories, a significant achievement for a small community radio station. 2NVR’s long running sports program, That’s a Wrap, is a finalist in the Troy Garner Excellence in Sports

Programming Award and is up against some of the giants in community radio sports broadcasting. In the Best Special Event Category, 2NVR is a finalist for the broadcast of their 30th Birthday Bash that went live to air last year from the Bowraville Theatre. 2NVR is also a finalist in the Outstanding Small Station Award, a title they have won before and 2NVR listeners and announcers alike are keen to see their radio station once again earn the right to be called the best little station in the nation. President of the Nambucca Valley Radio Committee of Management, Donna Collins told News of the Area, “These nominations are a direct reflection of the passion and commitment of our presenters. “We are all volunteers but dedication and drive deserves recognition so to be finalists in three categories is remarkable and to win would be the icing on the cake.” The winners will be announced at the CBAA Conference in Adelaide on 4 November 2023 where 2NVR will be represented by popular local announcer Ceri Wrobel.

q 2NVR’s That’s a Wrap is a finalist in the Excellence in Sports Programming Award category at this year's Community Radio Awards. Live sports broadcasting has long been a feature of this show.

Voice Official Pamphlet By Thomas O’KEEFE

AN INFORMED public is essential to a functioning democracy, and with the latest Constitutional referendum imminent, on Saturday 14 October, information abounds. Luckily, there is a succinct and simple way to circumvent the noise and fairly inform oneself of both sides of the campaign. The Australian Electoral Commission’s (AEC) legal obligations include assembling a Referendum Pamphlet, by now delivered to the postal address of every registered voter, and always

available online at https://aec. gov.au/referendums/learn/thequestion.html. The actual referendum question – to which we must answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ – and the actual proposed wording change to the Constitution, are clearly stated in the Pamphlet. The Pamphlet’s content was composed or authorised by our elected representatives and senators in the Federal Parliament, those who voted on either side of the original proposal bill, and are fully accountable for their votes on that bill. Both the ‘Yes’ and the ‘No’ sides were given a mercifully short maximum of 2000 words to make their case, more than enough to make the main points of any straightforward argument. Every Australian’s democratic duty is to understand the question, the proposed change, and make up your own mind.

The AEC’s Pamphlet is unmatchable as the most official, succinct, and non-partisan resource. Like all Australian ballots, this one is secret – no-one ever has to know what anyone else actually voted, and nobody is compelled to justify their vote. Given that the Constitution is the highest piece of legislation that exists in Australia, which declares the basic concepts of our country, it is a smart idea to get acquainted with it, especially as we are asked to consider a change to it. No-one need become a Constitutional expert, but it is only 51 pages long – far shorter than the average novel, and clearly divided into sections, all of which are navigable on https://www.aph.gov. au/constitution. The AEC’s website will also indicate your nearest polling places, visit https://www.aec.gov.au/ referendums/vote/vote-in-person. html.

Helicopters employed to inspect North Coast fire trails reduction work. More than 720 fire trails are being inspected across NSW, covering over 3,600 kilometres of Crown land as well as areas of national park, state forest and other adjoining land. The aerial inspections are being undertaken by Crown Lands and the Rural Fire Service, with the Soil Conservation Service assisting with trail repair work.

NSW, National Parks and Wildlife Service, and Forestry Corporation all rely on maintained fire trails. Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said, “Fire trails are essential for firefighters to get quick and safe access to fight bushfires and keep our communities, wildlife and properties safe. “Helicopter inspections are an efficient way to check remote locations, cutting inspection times from months to weeks while providing an overview of the Crown land fire trail network.” Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib said, “We are facing a potentially dangerous bushfire season,

with hot, dry conditions and vegetation growth creating a higher fuel load. “We need to ensure our fire trails are properly q

maintained so our committed firefighting personnel have the best chance possible of containing fires this bushfire season.”

HELICOPTER inspections of fire trails on the North Coast have been occurring to check trails and pinpoint any areas needing final maintenance prior to the summer bushfire season. The NSW Budget recently allocated an additional $10.6 million to maintain and upgrade fire trails on Crown land across the state to ensure firefighters have ready and safe access to fight bushfires and conduct hazard

Helicopter inspections are more efficient than ground checks particularly in remote areas or where fire trails cross multiple land tenures, reducing inspection times from months to weeks. Follow up trail work can include clearing vegetation and fallen trees, maintaining or creating passing and turning bays for firefighting vehicles, and earthworks to manage water drainage, soil stability and erosion.

Mid North Coast house prices slightly down on 2022 HOME prices in the Mid North Coast, a statistical area that includes the Nambucca Valley, increased by 0.74 percent in the past quarter, but overall saw a year-on-year decrease of -1.07 percent, according to PropTrack’s Home Price Index, released on October 1. Throughout regional NSW, home prices increased in September, up 0.36 percent. Prices in regional NSW are up 0.70 percent yearon-year, however remain 2.15 percent below their most recent peak. Nationally, home prices moved higher in September, with the spring selling season blooming. National prices have now recovered 2022’s falls entirely after climbing 0.35

percent month-on-month to peak levels - with prices up 4.31 percent so far this year. Sydney prices have recovered most of 2022’s falls and are just 0.03 percent below their peak recorded in February 2022. Prices increased 0.48 percent in September, and are now up 7.33 percent so far this year and 7.43 percent from their trough in November 2022. “The spring selling season experienced a busy start in September,” said Eleanor Creagh, Senior Economist, PropTrack. “Buyer and seller confidence is on the up and choice is improving significantly in the major capitals. “Despite the uplift in the number of properties coming to market, national home prices have moved higher again, regaining 2022’s rapid price falls in entirety to reach a record high in September. “Home price growth has been driven by record levels of net

overseas migration, tight rental markets and a housing shortage. “Looking ahead, interest rates have likely peaked and population growth is rebounding strongly. “Together with a shortage of new home builds, prices are expected to rise. “As we head further into spring, more markets are likely to reclaim 2022’s fast falls to set new peaks.” Meanwhile, rental price growth in regional NSW is continuing to slow, according to the PropTrack Market Insight Report. Rent growth in regional New South Wales continued to slow in September, remaining unchanged over the quarter. Over the year, rents in regional NSW were up two percent. Regional NSW house rents were unchanged over the quarter while unit rents fell 3.3 percent. In the Mid North Coast, the median rent for September was $490, just under the median price of $500 for regional NSW. Year-on-year, rental prices have

risen by 2.1 percent in the Mid North Coast. “Rents are climbing at a rapid pace,” said Cameron Kusher, PropTrack Director of Economic Research. “The median advertised house rent is now $550 per week and the median advertised unit rent is now $520 per week. "House rents have been unchanged for six months, while unit rents have continued to rise. “We expect the difference in price between houses and units to narrow over the coming months. “The ongoing rapid rate of population growth, coupled with a persistent reduction in the supply of properties available for rent, have maintained the pressure on the cost of renting, particularly in major capital cities. “Rental growth is likely to continue in the major capital cities. “The flatlining of regional rents over the past six months may point to softer rents for the regions in the coming months.”

connect with their neighbours and learn skills to address the local risk factors associated with a changing climate. So we look forward to seeing the projects that come forward,” Ms O’Brien said. FRRR wants to hear from groups with projects that fit into one of these five categories: Networks: Initiatives to strengthen the capacity, capability, and coordination of professional, social or community networks Community Events: Field days, conferences, forums, summits, and seminars that facilitate professional, social and community connection to build understanding of drought and climate change associated risks. Training: Initiatives to improve skills and capacity in community risk management, planning and project delivery in relation to drought.

Community Infrastructure: Small scale community infrastructure projects to improve connectedness, wellbeing, and facilities. Development and Learning: Initiatives to facilitate professional, personal and leadership related development and learning to support drought preparation. Applications are open now and close 14 November 2023, with successful applicants announced in March 2024. There will be a second round of the program, which is expected to open in February 2024, with funds announced in June 2024. Potential applicants are invited to join a webinar to learn more about the program and the eligibility requirements on Monday, 9 October from 12pm AEDT. Registrations can be made via the FRRR website. For more information, including the list of priority LGAs, and to apply, visit https://frrr.org.au/ small-networks-grants.

Grants available to build local drought resilience THE Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal (FRRR) is offering Small Networks Grants of up to $20,000 to community organisations in the Nambucca Valley LGA for projects designed to enhance local drought preparedness. Supported by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund through the Helping Regional Communities Prepare for Drought Initiative, the Small Networks Grants program can fund simple, one-off or seed-type initiatives to strengthen community networks and capabilities in 35 agriculturedependent regions. Nina O’Brien, FRRR’s

Disaster Resilience and Recovery Lead, said that there are a wide range of one-off projects that promote community networks, which the program can fund. “Through this program, we are enabling agriculture-dependent communities to identify and act on their drought preparedness and resilience priorities at a grassroots level in the ways that best suit their communities. “From previous programs, we know that social networks are critical to drought resilience because they promote a sense of belonging by providing opportunities for a diverse range of community members to connect and participate. “Events, such as field days or practical workshops, are effective tools for improving mental health and wellbeing, because they give participants the opportunity to

‘Getting to the Point’ writing comp delivers By Jen HETHERINGTON RESULTS are in from the Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation (SPaDCO) inaugural writing competition after a call for stories with the localised theme of belonging, ‘Getting to the Point’, which attracted sixteen entries, a notable outcome to what is hoped to be an ongoing interactive appreciation of local history and talent. With yarns that outlined the significance of being, or becoming a local resident, told through anecdotal narrative, poetry and tales of individual journeys, challenges and arrivals and lineal histories of familial and environmental connections, an impressive depth of writing was delivered. The winner of the $500 prize was Mandy Johnston, by a unanimous decision, a resident of Yarrahapinni, and with only one entry for the junior section, all prize benefits, a total of $200, have been donated to the Stuarts Point Preschool for their collective entry. As one of the five judges, Kempsey Shire Mayor Leo Hauville

commented on the winning entry. ”For its expansive and deliberate word usage that paints many evocative images throughout, and for it being most connected to the topic of ‘Getting to the Point’, I have selected ‘A Drive to Town’.” Local author Gill Chalmers said, “It was an interesting judging exercise, so much love and commitment to the community is expressed in these stories and it was difficult to select my favourites, but I chose ‘A Drive to Town’ because it told the town's life in such a unique way and that sense of belonging was so well depicted. “‘Point of Change’ told of facing and adapting to change, a very thoughtful piece that expressed understanding of others, and the poem ‘North Arm Lower Macleay River’ is beautifully written too.” Competition winner Mandy Johnston was pleased to tell NOTA, “Maybe these 1500 words will be the motivation I need to keep writing now!” With the backing of a very supportive independent publisher, an anthology titled ‘Getting to the Point’ is in the works for publication in 2024. In the meantime, a transcript of the entries should be available to read at the Stuarts Point Library.

Funding body visits Scotts Head Community Garden

By Jen HETHERINGTON

THE Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) is a not-for-profit organisation that connects common purposes and funding from government, business and philanthropy with the genuine local needs of rural people and places, and were pleased to be welcomed to Scotts Head Community Garden on the morning of 10 October 2023. As FRRR provided the initial grant funds for the establishment of the gardens, the team who maintain the lush plant life, which features seasonal vegetables, herbs and fruit, were more than happy to provide the two visiting representatives and additional guests with morning tea. FRRR Program Manager April Merrick, who is based in Bendigo, explained the aims of the foundation. “FRRR provides funding and capacity building support at the hyper-local level, to align funding, big and small, to community-led solutions that build resilience and long-term viability and vitality of smaller

These are home to a number of threatened plant and animal species and have beaches that birds fly thousands of kilometres from the northern hemisphere to live on during the warmer months. And of course, the

Gumbaynggir people have a strong connection to all of these areas. So, we are so fortunate on this coastline to have such treasures. “As a volunteer bush regenerator, I have noticed a large amount of Coral Berry bushes (Ardisia crenata) appearing in our reserves,” said Bronwyn Rodden, Valla Beach Bush Care. “The plants have dark green shiny leaves and bunches of bright red berries.

“They were even for sale in Bunnings at Coffs Harbour, but once they were notified of their weed status in this region, they removed them from their shelves.” Coral Berry is native to many parts of Asia and Southeast Asia, and is used as an indoor plant due to its ability to survive in low light. “But often they find their way into gardens and this is a disaster for our local bushland,” Bronwyn said. “Recently, we bush

NSW POLICE will be given the ability to issue up to two on the spot Criminal Infringement Notices (CINs), which are $400 fines, to adults for personal drug use and small quantity drug possession offences. This will not apply to any serious drug offences like drug supply. The scheme will encourage people who get a Criminal Infringement Notice to complete a tailored drug and

alcohol intervention and, if they do complete it, then their fine will be treated as though it was paid. If the health intervention is not completed, the penalty will be enforced by Revenue NSW. NSW Police will retain their discretion in all cases to charge a person and proceed to court – it is still an offence to possess and use illicit drugs. The system will reduce contact with the criminal

justice system for first- and second-time drug possession offenders. The former government in 2022 tasked NSW Police and NSW Health with preparing a report detailing their implementation readiness ahead of final endorsement, following a recommendation from the ice inquiry. The Commissioner of Police and Chief Health Officer supported the approach and

CWA Evening Branch steps out in the community By Mick BIRTLES

THE recently formed Nambucca Valley Evening Branch (NVE) of the Country Women's Association made their mark on the district this weekend as they experienced their first-ever participation in a community event at the Nambucca Plaza Markets on Sunday 8 October. Attendees at the Nambucca Plaza Markets, facilitated by the Lions Club of Nambucca Heads, were in for a delightful surprise as the NVE ladies showcased their culinary talents, offering an array of delectable cakes and slices. These treats quickly disappeared from the display, leaving market-

goers wanting more. The NVE ladies took on the challenge to fill the void left by well known Nambucca Valley Lions member and regular cake stall holder, Maureen Shepherd, and they did not disappoint. Their freshly baked slices proved to be a hit, drawing a crowd of dessert enthusiasts and loyal supporters. Only a few slices remained by the end of the day, as satisfied customers lined up for their share of the popular baked goods. The funds raised during this event will be directed toward supporting local organisations and contributing to established CWA

projects aimed at improving the lives of country women in NSW. The NVE ladies expressed their gratitude to the community for their overwhelming support and participation in their first-ever community engagement. As the NVE ladies' popularity continues to grow, it's evident that they are not only skilled bakers but also dedicated contributors to the betterment of the community. The Nambucca Valley Evening Branch meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6pm at the Macksville Ex-Services Club. As country women coming together to support their community and each other, they welcome all women to join their branch and look forward to meeting you soon. Email secretarynve@gmail.com or visit them on Facebook.

The Blues Boyz live and free in Tewinga THE soulful sounds of blues and roots music have found a home on the Mid North Coast, thanks to a talented trio known as The Blues Boyz. Comprising Dave Ash on guitar and vocals, Neil Mathews on blues harp and vocals, and Gary Burns on drums, this musical ensemble has been serenading audiences for the past seven years with their

distinctive blend of blues inspired by legends like Eric Bibb and Keb' Mo’. Frontman Dave Ash told News Of The Area, “I take some blues classics and some of the more contemporary stuff and play with the arrangement a little and the audiences really seem to like it.” Considered by many to be the Mid North Coast’s elder statesmen of blues, The Blues Boyz have graced the stages of local music festivals, intimate venues, and everything in between, leaving a trail of delighted listeners in their wake. For those seeking an authentic

blues experience, Nambucca Valley Radio invites you to be part of their live audience when they present The Blues Boyz live and free as a part of their Studio 3 Live Series. The performance is open to the public free of charge at the Tewinga Studios of 2NVR and will begin at 6:00pm on Friday 20 October 2023 and will go through until 8:00pm. 2NVR also invites you to bring along your own drinks and nibbles to the event. Should you be unable to come along, the performance will be broadcast live on 105.9FM and streamed via www.2nvr.org.au.

Locked phone pouch: Students place their phone in a magnetically locked pouch and are unable to use their phone. Pouches are magnetically unlocked at the end of the school day. Phones collected at the front office: Students deposit their phone at the school’s front

Principals and teachers can authorise the use of mobile phones for educational purposes, or as part of a reasonable adjustment for student learning and wellbeing – such as monitoring blood sugar levels for students with diabetes.

and with the controversial culling out of ‘fake Aboriginals’. Due to the negligence of the Australian Electoral Commission, the NT Electoral Commissioner complained about the shambles of the Electoral Roll, especially in remote areas. And on 22/11/2022 the Mayor of the West Arnhem Regional Council said that the Roll is so bad that“the franchise for Aboriginal residents of remote communities is inhibited.” I am aware of the problem of “fake Aboriginals” because in an SBS program Suzanne Ingram of the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office complained that over one-third of people claiming to

be Aboriginals were not, and Aboriginal Dr Stephen Hogan said “fake Aboriginals are white people controlling the narrative of black affairs.” Michael Mansell, Chairman of the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, warned of 1000s more fakes. In order to improve the situation for Aboriginals, any government worth its salt does not need to amend the Constitution. And we don’t need this Voice, which would be another centralised Canberra bureaucracy. Instead, we need listening ears among politicians to the

Phones banned in public high schools STUDENTS in public high schools across the Nambucca Valley, and the state, must have their mobile phones turned off and out of sight from this week, with a ban on students’ use of phones at school from the start of Term 4. The ban comes into force after consultation with teachers, students and parents, and will apply during class, recess and at lunch. Students will still be permitted to carry a phone while travelling to and from school. The ban on use of phones in public high schools fulfils a key

election promise made by the Minns Labor Government and will complement the ban in place in NSW public primary schools. The NSW Department of Education offered schools several options for implementing the mobile phone ban, and following consultation with their local communities most have opted for zero or low-cost solutions, such as keeping phones in lockers or off and away. Options for schools include: • Off and away: Phones are ‘off and away’ in classrooms (typically kept in the student’s

Aboriginals cannot vote to elect any of the 34 persons on the Voice! The government’s proposal (as per Prof Marcia Langdon) is that the government would appoint 34 representatives.

Issues with the formation of a Voice to Parliament DEAR News Of The Area, I WAS initially in favour of the Uluru Statement. Then I did some research and changed my view. The proposal for ‘The Voice’ to comprise 34 “representatives” is flawed, and it cannot work for the benefit of Aboriginals at grassroots levels for several reasons.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

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

Dorin’s Draws

By Paul DORIN

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

WEARING a ‘Liberals for Yes’ t-shirt in some parts of regional Australia makes me think of the comedy series Little Britain where actor Matt Lucas was the ‘only gay in the village’. In my case I feel like ‘the only black Liberal in the village’. Now imagine my feeling at the Garma Festival in the Northern Territory, one of the biggest events for Australia’s Indigenous community. I got more than a few funny looks and there was no question that I stood out. But the benefit has come from the conversations that flowed. With a simple t-shirt, I have been able to demonstrate how the upcoming referendum is going to be carried by every part of our community coming together to vote Yes. Regardless of how you vote at elections, this referendum is about standing together to build a better future for ourselves, for our children, and for the generations to come. I am proud to be a Wangkumarra/Barkindji man and the co-convenor of the Liberals for Yes campaign. It has been a long journey from my upbringing in Brewarrina, where I was in foster care on the old mission, to this point - leading a campaign for the centre-right of politics to support this practical change. I feel strongly that there is a

place for liberals and conservatives in supporting the Yes vote because even this week senior Liberals were out advocating for local Voices. I am calling on all liberal and conservative Liberal members, for all voters to listen openly to the arguments for constitutional recognition through a Voice. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Now is the time for our friends to join Liberals for Yes and advocate in their own circles of influence for the Yes position. Senior Liberal Shadow Minister Dan Tehan has argued for a legislated Voice. He suggested that we can close the gap by making sure we're on the ground listening, especially listening to local communities outside of capital cities. He’s said that we need to put policies in place to help and support those communities. This is exactly what voting Yes would do. Voting Yes would ensure that when the policies Mr Tehan argues for are developed, Indigenous people are at the table having a say. Mr Tehan acknowledges that governments need to be on the ground listening to local communities, and this is at the heart of what the Voice would do. Dan Tehan has mistakenly said that the Voice would be “a body which is set up in Canberra”. This is simply not true. The Calma/Langton report makes clear that local voices are the focus of the model. Just as they are in South Australia’s model.

As part of my business and board roles, I travel widely through Australia working with Indigenous communities. All my life I have been dedicated to empowering Indigenous people to take responsibility, and for governments to loosen their control over our lives. Empowering people to take responsibility for their own lives is a core liberal value. It is clear to me that when we work in partnership with Indigenous communities at the local level, to help them help themselves, we get better results than governments deciding what is best. Surely Mr Tehan must agree with this point. The Voice will be an advisory committee. Nothing more. Members of the Voice will be chosen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in their local area and serve for a fixed period. It will not have any veto. It will be made up of representatives from diverse Indigenous communities. The Voice is about advice. When governments listen to people about issues that affect them, they make better decisions, and deliver better value for money. This is something every MP and voter should support. We all know the status quo is not working. The current model of stopstart policy making and ad-hoc consultation in Indigenous Affairs is costly, inefficient and often ineffective, leaving Indigenous people disadvantaged and the broader community disheartened. A Constitutional guarantee will ensure the Voice has the certainty needed to exist beyond election cycles. This will avoid this issue becoming a political football at elections – which helps nobody. The Voice came from Indigenous people. It was our idea. It originated from a grassroots consultation process that ended with the Uluru Statement. In 2007, John Howard committed to recognising

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Constitution. This was a turning point that kicked off a nation-wide consultative process. In 2017, I was one of over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates who gathered to sign the historic Uluru Statement from the Heart. It was an invitation to the Australian people to “create a better future” and explicitly calls for “the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.” That is what this referendum is about. It is not about politics. It is about people. Indigenous people want and need a better future for our kids. We want to take responsibility for our communities, but we need a permanent seat at the table so we can have a say. I am confident the Voice will make a real difference to Indigenous people and create a better future for us all. I can’t see how better advice to policy makers can be anything but constructive. And I don’t know what the alternative is. We are just three percent of the population, and we can’t change the Constitution without the 97 percent of our community – and that’s why your vote is so important. I will continue to proudly wear my ‘Liberals for Yes’ t-shirt through regional Australia as well as our city streets. I’m hoping more Liberals join me because voting Yes means a better future for all Australians. We cannot afford more of the same, and the Voice is our best chance of improving outcomes so we can close the gap. *Sean Gordon AM is co-convenor of the Liberals for Yes campaign, Chair of Uphold & Recognise, Managing Director of the Gidgee Group, CEO of the Yadha Muru Foundation and serves on many national boards and advisory committees.

Thank you to this week’s featured sponsor – North Coast Boating Centre at Urunga. On Tuesday, we welcomed 88 players from the Mid North Coast Vets for a Medley Stableford. Nambucca locals cleaned up in Division 1 (0 to 15), with Paul Ryan (15) scoring 34 points to win from Stephen McNeil (13) with 33 points on c/b from David Nicholls (11) from Coffs Harbour. Col Osland (18) from Bellingen won Division 2 (16 to 22) with 40 points from Dennis Hardgrove (16) from Coffs Harbour on 39 points and Keith Elphick (22) from Nambucca with 38 points.

PET OF THE MONTH

Following the March 2021, February 2022 and June 2022 severe storms and flooding, the Nambucca Valley Local Government Area (LGA) received Natural Disaster Declarations resulting in the State and Commonwealth providing funding support to help with the cost of cleaning up and restoring damaged road and essential public assets.

www.nambucca.nsw.gov.au

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

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

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

Sprocket:

Council’s flood recovery program is a multi-faceted process involving the co-ordination of a number of specialised consultants, contractors, scarce materials and receiving funding approval. Council has its own teams and contractors engaged to undertake repairs to urban and rural sealed road network as well as the unsealed road network prioritising high speed roads, higher use roads and bus routes. Should you know of a road that is in poor or unsafe condition please call Council on (02) 6568 2555 and report it.

A YEAR ON PLANET EARTH

SUNDAY

THE NEWSREADER

ABC, 8.30pm

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

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

GEORGE CLARKE’S AMAZING SPACES

ABC TV PLUS, 9.20pm

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

Nippers season underway media@newsofthearea.com.au

q The Nambucca Heads Surf Life Saving Club are looking forward to a great season with good numbers of Nippers attending the first day of the season. By Mick BIRTLES DAY one of the Nippers Season for 2023 was well attended at the Nambucca Heads Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC), with around 85 youngsters turning up at Main Beach on Sunday morning. Nippers President Darren Alder told News Of The Area,

“We are aiming at around 100 Nippers registered for the season and I reckon the cloudy conditions early in the day kept a few away.” The Nambucca Heads SLSC holds a special place in the history of surf lifesaving in Australia as it is the birthplace of junior surf lifesaving and the numbers

of Nippers the club attracts is very good in comparison to clubs located in larger population centres. In honour of one of the men who started the Nippers movement, there is an inter club competition with the Scotts Head SLSC known as the Noel Crocker Memorial Cup held each year.

President of the Nambucca Heads SLSC, Aaron Honeysett added, “Strong numbers in our Nippers helps in the long run with having Surf Life Savers to man our patrols therefore making our beaches safer.” Darren Alder emphasised that Nippers is great for teaching kids surf safety and

strongly recommends that those who have recently moved to the area who may not have experience with beach conditions should consider getting involved. As of 1 October the Nambucca Heads SLSC began their patrols each Sunday on Main Beach with the frequency of patrols

increasing on long weekends and school holidays. “We very fortunate to have this great beach and surf lifesaving club in our town and we welcome those who can come join the club and help in any way they can to keep us going into the future,” Aaron Honeysett concluded.

Coffs Harbour to host Oztag Australian Junior Championships By Aiden BURGESS

THE region’s best junior Oztag players are ready to take on the nation’s finest on home turf. The 2023 Oztag Australian Junior Championships gets underway on Friday at the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium and surrounding fields. Teams will play off for national titles over three big days of non-stop Oztag, with the Australian Championships featuring 103 boys and 95 girls teams in divisions ranging from ages nine to seventeen. Instead of solely Coffs Harbour teams as seen in the past, new Mid North Coast Mariners teams will feature in the 10s Boys, 12s Boys, 12s Girls, 14s Girls, and 16s Girls divisions. The Mid North Coast

Mariners is a new entity which combines the Coffs Coast and Port Macquarie regions. Mid North Coast Mariners teams that will compete at the Australian Championships were selected at trials earlier in the year in Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. The Coffs Harbour Thunder entered teams during last year's Oztag Australian Junior Championships in Coffs Harbour. The Coffs Harbour Thunder 17s Girls made it to the quarter finals at last year's Australian Junior Championships. Coffs Harbour will also host the Australian Senior Championships on 3-5 November, where the Mid North Coast Mariners will enter teams in six divisions.
