q Boot scooters of all ages packed the dance floor at the Nambucca Bowls Club on Saturday night.

Woolworths Nambucca Heads. The wonderful attendance and participation of the Valley Line Dancers ensured the success of the event by leading the way to the dance floor and inspiring others to tackle line dancing for themselves. Attendees were treated to lively music from the band Coops and the Jungle Birds, ensuring the dance floor remained packed throughout the night. Local businesses generously contributed raffle prizes, adding to the excitement of the event and providing attendees with the chance to win fantastic prizes while supporting a worthy cause. The highlight of the night, however, was the collective effort to raise funds for WIRES Mid North Coast, an organisation dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of native wildlife in the region.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of those in attendance, over $1,000 was raised to support the vital work of WIRES Mid North Coast. "This event truly showcased the spirit of our community coming together for a common cause," WIRES Mid North Coast volunteer Kirsty Bush told News Of The Area. "It was heartwarming to see people of all ages enjoying themselves on the dance floor while also making a meaningful contribution to the work WIRES does to care for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.” The funds raised will significantly help WIRES Mid North Coast continue their important mission of caring for the precious native wildlife of the region. For those interested in taking up line dancing the Valley Line Dancer’s Rhonda Johnstone holds classes at the Nambucca Uniting Church Hall from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm each Wednesday and at Bowraville in the Grants Hall from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm each Tuesday.

In 2023, 43 disasters were declared across Australia, impacting 137 Local Government Areas. • The availability of quality Early Childhood Education and Care is lower in regional and remote communities compared to major cities. Estimates suggest four in five children in remote Australia live in areas with fewer than one centre-based day care place per three children. • There are more than 100,000 tourismrelated businesses across the regions.

THE 2024 ‘State of Australia’s Regions’ report has been released by the Federal Government, showcasing data and insights on key issues and opportunities impacting the nation’s regions. The report focuses on pressing issues for regional communities, including ensuring the strength of local workforces, housing availability and affordability, and access to early childhood and care. Also discussed is disaster preparation and response, and challenges and opportunities arising from the renewable energy transition. Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King said supporting strong, secure and sustainable regions is a high priority of the Australian Government. “That is why we are launching this new report, which will contribute to informing how we can collectively build strong, sustainable and welcoming regional communities that all Australians can call home. “These regular reports will support evidence-based decision making through the Government’s Regional Investment Framework – ensuring investments and initiatives across government respond to what the data is showing, and what people in the regions are saying.” Regional Development, Local Government and Territories Minister Kristy McBain said regional Australia should be a place where people “can pursue a range of economic opportunities across established and emerging industries”. “As communities outside of our big cities grow, it’s more important than ever that regional people have access to reliable, fit-for-purpose services in their own backyard – from education, health and connectivity. “This report provides us with valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in our regions, and will help

Nambucca Valley neighbours clash over water usage FROM Page 1 For others it represents the beauty of nature and the health of the local ecology. For one Nambucca Valley resident, David Martin of Congarinni North, when local blueberry growers decided to purchase the property directly behind his, he found himself embroiled in a neighbour dispute which he believes is unable to be resolved without legal intervention. Since 2017, blueberry growers have held the property adjacent to his. In the beginning, things were relatively amicable between the neighbours. Mr Martin did maintenance work such as landscaping and mowing for the growers. “At first I sat on the fence and didn’t know what to think when they started to farm,” he said. “Later I realised I would have trouble if I ever subdivided and tried to sell that part of my property. “I mean, who wants to live next to a blueberry farm?” he asked rhetorically. The situation really disintegrated when in 2023 the blueberry farmers’ dam collapsed and they began to look for short-term water solutions for the farm. “Last year, the Nambucca Valley was really dry,” Mr Martin said. “They (the blueberry farmers) had approached the neighbour behind me about buying his land,” he said. Mr Martin and this

neighbour shared a dam that was just a few metres away from the near-empty dam used for blueberry irrigation. “They (the blueberry farmers) started to come around every few days and pester me for the water. “They wanted to pump the dam dry and knew I used it too.” In the end, Mr Martin says he came home to find the growers had hooked up a pipe and were pumping out of the dam despite not yet gaining his permission. The neighbours quarrelled and the rest of that discussion is now a matter for the courts. “I called NRAR and they came out to inspect how much water was being used,” said Mr Martin. NRAR is the NSW Natural Resources Asset Regulator, an independent law enforcement agency set up in 2017 to

enforce compliance with NSW water laws. If people suspect someone is breaking current water laws, NRAR is the enforcing body to whom this can be reported. According to NSW water laws, in 2024 farmers are only entitled to use ten percent of the runoff their property generates for activities such as irrigation of crops unless they possess an irrigation licence. “Blueberry farming on the industrial scale we see lately in the Nambucca Valley is a very water intensive practice,” said Raewyn Macky of the Nambucca Environment Network, a community group set up to tackle the problems created by the introduction of intensive-style farming in the Nambucca Valley. “To permanently irrigate as in intensive plant agriculture, the Department of Primary Industries estimates

that three to five millilitres per year per hectare is needed,” she told NOTA. “This is a huge increase on the kinds of farming we have usually been seeing in the Nambucca Valley. “The minimum economical berry farm size is four hectares.” Mr Barjinder Singh, a resident of Coffs Harbour and one of the owners of the Smith’s Lane blueberry farm, disputes these figures. “We have plants that we harvest in summer and plants that we harvest in winter. “After we prune the winter crop, we don’t water it for six months, not one drop. “The same will happen for the summer crop. “We won’t water it for six months.” Mr Singh showed NOTA the small drip irrigation pipes supplying each plant.

“This is a very small hole and it only gives one litre in one hour,” he said. According to Mr Singh, his property has never run out of water before in the past six years and the only reason he needed some so desperately last year was that the large spring-fed dam he had been using failed and needed to be drained for repair. “I don’t hate my neighbour. “I don’t hate anyone. “This is a community and community is very important to us in the Sikh religion.” Mr Singh disputes Mr Martin’s version of events, saying that he had received permission from the other owner of the dam and had, at the time, entered into a long contract to purchase this neighbour’s property. “We got Bryan’s (the previous owner) permission but David wouldn’t get back to

us for more than a month,” he said. “We only wanted to use a third of the water and in the end we only pumped for one day, maybe four hours.” He and his business partner now own the nextdoor property which owns part of the dam, but he insists that it was only purchased to be used for worker accommodation. Last week, NRAR responded to Mr Martin’s complaint about water usage on the farm and investigated the Smith’s Lane property. “NRAR are in the early stages of investigating three cases in the Nambucca Valley Council area involving alleged unlawful water take by blueberry farmers,” an NRAR spokesperson told NOTA. “The three sites have been inspected and investigations are ongoing.” NRAR commits to completing investigations within a three-year timeframe but says most take less time than this to complete. Fines of up to $1.1 million for individuals or $5.005 million for corporations can be imposed depending on the severity of the offences and the circumstances of each case. In the meantime, all dams are full and the blueberry farm is flourishing. “We have nothing to hide because we are not doing anything wrong,” said Mr Singh. “We have been here six years and it is our community so we don’t want to do anything to hurt it.”

Ignite session covers regional challenges and opportunities By Doug CONNOR

THE third and final session of the Ignite Mini’s series hosted by Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast (RDAMNC) was held at Bellingen Golf Course on Thursday 8 February, after earlier sessions in Taree and Kempsey. Attracting a full house of key stakeholders from a diverse range of industries, the one-day forum covered a host of topics including energy provision, entrepreneurship, early childhood education, workforce challenges, migration and more. Kicking off the Bellingen session was Essential Energy Chief Operating Officer Luke Jenner, who spoke of the opportunities and challenges ahead of the region’s major electricity distributor. Mr Jenner highlighted issues faced by Essential in mitigating the growing risks of “climate variation”, the company’s ageing network and the increased risk of bushfires on the Mid North Coast. A Mid North Coast local himself, Mr Jenner also spoke of the opportunities for the region as the state continues its transition to renewable energy. Next to present was Sawtell entrepreneurship facilitator Courtney Tune, who through his company, Alt-

Collective, has worked with hundreds of Mid North Coast residents to develop their innovative business concepts. Mr Tune, who is currently working on an entrepreneurship project with inmates of Grafton jail, also discussed the 2024 Regional Innovation Program, a collaboration between AltCollective, RDAMNC and local Councils to support innovators on the Mid North Coast. Migration was the next hot topic, with attendees hearing a brief video presentation from Neenu Behl from the Department of Home Affairs. Ms Behl provided key information for employers relating to visas facilitating international migration. Discussion then turned to workforce challenges, with RDAMNC CEO Madeleine Lawler presenting prior to a panel discussion featuring Jill Follington from AusIndustry and Jackie Martinson from Training Services. Ms Lawler sought to give context to statistics that depict the Mid North Coast as having a worryingly low labour participation rate. “We got access to some statistics that looked at SA4 regions, so Coffs HarbourGrafton and the Mid North Coast, and our labour participation was tracking at around the low 40s (percent) in terms of national participation in the labour

market. “That had us at 20 percentage points below the NSW state average. “We have the worst in NSW and one of the worst in the country in terms of labour participation.” While these statistics paint a dire picture, Ms Lawler said the reality was much more promising, with RDAMNC conducting their own research with controls for factors such as retirement. “We have a mixed story to tell,” Ms Lawler said. “For Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, the story is really good. “We are above the NSW state average for labour participation when you control for retirement.” However, the story is not quite as positive in some of the Mid North Coast's smaller LGAs.

“We saw low participation in both Kempsey and Nambucca, but we have some unusual trends in those places that mean the conclusions you normally jump to don’t quite fit either. “Kempsey has the unusual situation of having a higher participation of women in the workforce than men, which is rare. “Nambucca has just over 45 percent of its working population working in other areas. “It is donating a significant labour force to the Mid North Coast rather than being able to cater to that labour force in its own right.” Research also showed that Bellingen was the only Mid North Coast LGA with a higher proportion of older workers than young workers. Ms Lawler said RDAMNC was trying to “support

larger firms in the region. “That way we can look at better clustering and collaboration among firms, improving the economic outputs of the region and the opportunities we are able to take up because we are able to partner better.” To close out the day, Ignite participants took part in a skills audit conducted by Charles Sturt University researchers. Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast is a not-for-profit organisation whose role is to support the economic development of a region spanning the local government areas of Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, Nambucca, Kempsey, PortHastings and MidCoast.

close in the school holidays. “It is really tough.” The speakers also addressed the need to reframe access to childcare as a social justice issue. “It is setting gender equity back a long way,” Ms O’Carrigan said. At the end of January, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Childcare Inquiry released a report with considerations for government childcare interventions in regional, rural and remote communities. The report recognises that Australia’s current policy settings do not deliver on key policy objectives of accessibility and affordability in areas where profitably and viability are not secure enough for service provision. The ACCC recommends that governments adopt a “broad” and “more active” market stewardship role to oversee, manage and assist the delivery of services across the country. The Parenthood, a leading Australian parent advocacy group, welcomed the report. “Right now, the market is failing regional, rural and remote communities, where demand may be low and there are labour shortages,” said Maddy Butler, Campaign Director of The Parenthood. “If the market won’t provide, governments must step in as market stewards to ensure every single child - no matter if they live in Broome, in Cunnamulla, or in Melbourne can access some form of early learning and care. “We welcome the ACCC’s recommendation for further consideration of supply-side funding. “Demand-side funding does not support the ongoing sustainability of a service, particularly in more rural and remote areas, which is a clear indicator that other funding models are required,” said Butler. “A range of supply-side subsidies, as considered in the ACCC final report, would support the rollout of more services in under-served and unserved areas. “Australia is a vast country, and differing regions have differing challenges and needs. “Governments must look beyond a ‘one size fits all’ approach and implement a suite of measures and interventions which support and embrace the specific needs of each area. “Community consultation will be a key part of this process.”

Housing and climate top Greens Regional Forum By Andrew VIVIAN

MORE than 50 community members attended the Greens Regional Forum held in Coffs Harbour this week, including teachers, farmers and nurses. Housing affordability and climate change were the top issues raised at the meeting, where Federal Greens Senator David Shoebridge and NSW MLC Sue Higginson heard a range of community concerns about issues facing the Mid North Coast. "It was an excellent opportunity to come together with local, State and Federal Greens representatives to work on the future of the Mid North Coast,” Greens Senator David Shoebridge said. "Too often regional voices are lost in the noise and vested interests that dominate parliaments in Canberra and Sydney, so hearing directly about local priorities and needs is really essential. “Housing, climate, cost of living and health care were topics that kept coming up and clearly need to be tackled by the Federal Government and I'll be taking that message back to the Greens party room.” Senator Shoebridge said he relished the opportunity to be in the area. "Being able to fit in a Greens bushwalking trip on the End Peak walk and be

with friends amongst ancient forests was a bonus.” Greens MP and spokesperson for the Mid North Coast Sue Higginson said, “This forum was a fantastic opportunity for people like myself to genuinely get to hear firsthand what people really want the Greens to be campaigning on. “As leaders in social and environmental justice, the Greens are determined to support the community of the Mid North Coast

both strategically and collaboratively on the issues that affect them.” City of Coffs Harbour councillor Jonathan Cassell, who organised the forum, said, “The Regional Forum was a fantastic success and one that covered a range of issues concerning our Mid North Coast community. “It’s great that we can have a public forum such as this that welcomed people from our region to come and have their say. “The Greens are a

grassroots driven party and it's great we have parliamentary leaders who come and listen to the needs

of our area. “The Coffs Harbour Greens welcome anyone interested to know more

about our group or have any questions about NSW Greens policies to send an email to email@coffsgreens.org.”

Ongoing odour problems at Dawkins Park to be addressed

q One of the proposals put forward is a bridge to be located as shown.

By Ned COWIE

DAWKINS Park, located opposite the Council Chambers in Macksville, next to the public library in Princess Street, is a centrepoint for the town. It is home to many birds, predominantly White Ibis, but few people can ever be seen picnicking around its shores. The reasons for this are predominantly odourrelated. In short, the lake stinks. “I hate it,” one local student walking past the lake told News Of The Area. “Yesterday my sister and I found a dead bird on that seat there and the whole place is a bit of a cesspit,” she elaborated, pointing to an

empty park bench next to the lake. For years now, Nambucca Valley Council has racked its collective brains on ways to fix the problems associated with the man-made lake. According to a report to be delivered at the next Council meeting, a number of interventions have been attempted. A diffused air-line was installed near Giinagay Way to inject air through a pipe system. A mixer has been permanently anchored near Giinagay Way to bring water from lower down in the water profile up to the surface. As it pushes it out, oxygen is mixed into the water through surface disturbance. Finally, a windmill, which

is designed to transport water from the eastern side of the lake to an artificial wetland at the western side in Dawkins Park, was installed. The effect of filtration through the plants and gravel in the wetland is designed to reduce nutrient levels and turbidity in the water before it is returned to the lake. Despite these attempts, the water quality continues to be poor and oxygen levels are low. The main culprits appear to be the birds and their

droppings. Increased vegetation planting on the island was another idea but the birds made quick work of destroying these attempts. Egg-oiling, which involves immersing the eggs of ground nesting birds in paraffin so that the embryo does not develop and the egg will not hatch, was also tried, however it was difficult to maintain and perhaps staff did not look forward to the onerous task of getting across the stinky water to the island

to undertake it. Nothing seems to have brought the people back and this is one place where the birds ‘rule the roost’ in Macksville. At this week’s Nambucca Valley Council meeting (Thursday 15 February, prior to print publication of this newspaper), Council were set to consider new proposals designed to fix the problems of Dawkins Lake. One suggestion is a bridge, either of land-fill or polycarbonate.

Another considers the costs and consequences of simply filling in the lake to create a large public space. According to a report from Council, a land bridge connecting the island with the Southern edge of the lake is the cheapest and most preferred option at this stage. The report also states that future works could be funded by the Environmental Levy resulting in no cost to the bottom line of the Council’s budget.

Hemp Industry Taskforce established THE State Government has announced the establishment of a Hemp Industry Taskforce, with NSW Farmers welcoming the move. The taskforce will include twelve representatives from growers and industry associations and will consider options to support the continual growth of the NSW industrial hemp industry. “Guided by the taskforce outcomes, the Government can consider what work is required to reduce red tape and provide the regulatory environment to support the industrial hemp industry grow and deliver jobs to regional NSW,” Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty said. An emerging industry, the production area of hemp fluctuates year-on-year because of seasonal and market conditions. NSW has been home to up to 1800 hectares, depending on the year. Globally, the hemp market is expected to quadruple by 2027 to $18.6b, with hemp currently

estimated to be used in more than 25,000 products worldwide, spanning nine sub-markets including agriculture, building materials and textiles. The taskforce will only consider the cultivation and supply of lowTHC hemp grown under the NSW Industrial Hemp Act 2008. Industrial hemp (low-THC) is distinct from cannabis cultivated for medical purposes, which is regulated by the Australian Government through the Office of Drug Control (ODC). In NSW, the Hemp Industry Act 2008 allows the cultivation and supply of low-THC hemp fibre and seed production, under controlled conditions. A licensing scheme under the Act allows commercial production of low-THC hemp, administered by the NSW Department of Primary Industries. Jeremy Buckingham MLC, who represents the Legalise Cannabis Party, said the hemp industry “promises massive potential for jobs

and farming in NSW”. “This is a plant which is up to 25 times more effective at capturing carbon than forestry, and which offers almost unlimited potential in a wide range of areas including clothing, construction, foodstuffs, paper, medication and more.” At monthly meetings, supported by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, the taskforce will identify the short, medium and long term objectives of the NSW industrial hemp industry, including: • The role industrial hemp could play in the transition to a net zero, circular economy in NSW. • The supply and value chains required to support increased crop production, or other barriers to production and development in NSW. • Identifying legislative barriers to and opportunities for expanding industrial hemp production in NSW. • Consider opportunities to harmonise industrial hemp regulation nationally.

with a shared love for waterfowl primarily ducks and geese. "Waterfowl are anything with webbed feet, ducks and geese, and we are eager to connect with people who share our interest in these magnificent birds,” Ruben Wallis told News Of The Area. “We are also confident that our members, some from as far as Taree, will be entering their waterfowl in this year's Macksville Show on 12 and 13 April 2024.” To cater for fellow enthusiasts, the Mid North Coast Waterfowl Club is hosting a Waterfowl Information Day, to take place in the dining hall

of the Macksville Showgrounds on Sunday 25 February from 1:00 pm. This event promises to be a hub of knowledge and camaraderie for waterfowl enthusiasts at all levels of experience. The information day will provide opportunities to connect with likeminded individuals who share a passion for these types of birds. As the club takes flight, it invites individuals from all walks of life who have an interest in waterfowl to join its ranks. To find out more you can contact Ruben Wallis on 0410 558 443.

Should you be unable to come along, the performance will be broadcast live on 105.9fm and streamed throughout the world via www.2nvr.org.au

Waterfowl Club takes flight

POULTRY clubs across the country traditionally have a strong membership base and now a group of local poultry enthusiasts consider that interest in waterfowl has grown so significantly that they warrant a separate organisation, launching the Mid North Coast Waterfowl Club. Covering a sprawling stretch of the region from Taree to Coffs Harbour and already boasting around 30 members, passionate waterfowl enthusiast Ruben Wallis is hopeful that the newly formed club will bring together individuals

This taskforce will not consider the production of hemp for use as a therapeutic good (e.g. medicines) as this is restricted and requires a licence from the Office of Drug Control and approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration. NSW Farmers have welcomed the government’s announcement, which they say presents opportunities to improve supply chains and reduce red tape. NSW Farmers Agricultural Science Committee Chair Alan Brown said developing new and emerging markets such as industrial hemp would provide more opportunity for farmers to diversify, driving economic activity in turn. “Industrial hemp is an emerging industry in Australia, and we’re trailing Canada, China and the European Union in terms of scale and value of production,” Mr Brown said. “We see the industrial hemp industry experiencing strong growth, with innovative technologies improving production

media@newsofthearea.com.au and a range of value-added products being developed. “What we need is a way for our farmers to tap into these new technologies and new markets, which will drive economic activity both at a local and state level.” Mr Brown said pursuing valueadding opportunities in agriculture – creating finished products rather than raw ingredients – had the potential to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and add billions of dollars to the state’s coffers. “By investing in agriculture the state government can help farmers literally grow a stronger future for NSW,” Mr Brown said. “We know investing in valueadding could contribute an additional $50 billion to the economy by 2030, creating over 223,000 jobs in NSW, according to work from the Food and Agribusiness Growth Centre (FIAL). “I hope we can take the hemp industry as an example of the way we could apply this approach right across the agricultural sector and unlock all of the opportunities that come with it.”

q Emma Rogers and Ruben Wallis are hopeful that the newly formed Mid North Coast Waterfowl Club will attract those interested in breeding and showing ducks and geese.

DEAR News Of The Area,

WHILE it is good to see forestry industry advocates entering the debate on the future integrity and sustainability of native forest logging, the misleading claims and generalisations are disappointing and won’t go anywhere towards resolving any so-called ‘forest wars’. The people I know who are opposing native forest logging are on the whole not ‘inner city elites’ but locals from a range of political backgrounds who live and work adjacent to State Forests and see first-hand what goes on. Statistics emphasising the small percentage of the entire forest estate available for logging miss the point. It’s what you do in the area you are logging which counts. To claim that native forest logging has not caused species extinctions in Australia is

OPINION

extraordinary, and highlights the misconceptions in the industry and failure to acknowledge the importance of the protection of species and complexity of native forest ecosystems to the entire sustainability debate. We have no idea what has been lost. While we have totally inadequate pre-harvest surveys, rules which permit the continued destruction and removal of noncommercial tree species and endangered plants, inadequate control of invasive species; including significant increased weed loads, and ecologists being harassed by timber contractors and local police, no-one can pretend all is good in the native forestry hood. Regards, Dave WOOD.

DEAR Jasminda, Is it wrong that I'm relishing in the idea of some solitude following my husband's wisdom tooth extraction?

Signatory on account accused of misconduct WILLIAM obtains accommodation in a nursing home and authorises his friend David to be a signatory in relation to his bank accounts. David agrees to pay William’s bills and rollover his substantial fixed term deposits. During the course of the following five years, William’s bank accounts are diminished by approximately $1 million. When William passes-away, his son discovers in his office as executor of the estate, that cash amounts were systematically withdrawn from William’s bank account at his local branch and large amounts were transferred directly to David’s account and accounts in his children’s names. William’s executor commences Supreme Court action against David. It is alleged that David, as signatory, owes a “fiduciary duty” to act honestly and in good faith and not to prefer his own self-interests. “Unjust enrichment” is also pleaded, together with breach of contract. David claims that William was present during many of the transactions and says that William was entitled to give away his money as he saw fit. A five-day hearing ensues, during which a myriad of transactions are carefully scrutinised. The Court hears that David arranged for William’s bank statements to be sent directly to David’s address. The Court finds that it was not William who was giving-away his money but that in fact it was David who was accessing William’s accounts. On this basis, David was held to owe William a “fiduciary duty”. The Court states that David has the onus to prove the “righteousness” of the transactions which involved establishing William’s “fully informed consent”. However, the Court rules that there was no contractual relationship between William and David and dismisses the breach of contract claim. Ultimately, the Court holds that David’s actions did not constitute “conscious deceit” and accepts that some of the transactions were not for David’s personal benefit but that the bulk of the transactions justified an order that David and his children repay over $800,000.

q Overgrown hooves in need of trimming.

What is sustainability in forestry? DEAR News Of The Area,

AFTER many recent contributions by vested interests on the subject of the “sustainability” of the logging of (and the extraction of biomass from) our native forests, it is now time to bring a factual foundation to the matter. What is sustainable? Put simply, being “sustainable” is the capacity to carry on forevermore. It is measured and reported upon in three primary categories; social, economic and environmental (or ecological), all of which must be carried on forevermore for anything to be truly sustainable. So how does the logging of our native forests measure up on each of these fronts? Economically the logging of our public native forests is an absolute basket case. It loses taxpayers money hand over fist, with hundreds of millions of our tax dollars lost logging native forests in recent decades. In the most recent reporting period (up to June 30 2023) the Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) lost about $15 million logging our native forests (aka our priceless and irreplaceable life support systems). The logging of our public native

forests has no social licence, that is, these antiquated and barbaric logging practices are socially unsustainable. All across our region communities (including very conservative and classically “redneck” ones on the Dorrigo Plateau) are standing up to the taxpayer funded extinction logging operations of FCNSW. There is dominant support across our region, our state and the nation for stopping logging our public native forests, with many surveys indicating a substantial majority in support of protecting our native forests. The least sustainable dimensions of logging native forests are those of an environmental and ecological nature. Put simply industrial logging is a prime driver of both the extinction and climate crises. Our forest dependent fauna populations are in free-fall with many rapidly headed towards extinction because of logging. The Greater Glider was common and in places abundant in our region in recent decades. It has declined about 80 percent and is now Endangered because of logging and the more extreme and frequent fires caused by logging. We face a high likelihood of extinction of our Koalas and Glossy Black Cockatoos – with massive

Dear Wilma, I couldn't help but yell out 'Wilma' in the voice of Fred from The Flintstones after reading your query. If your husband is anything like him, I can understand your need for a little R and R. However, wisdom tooth extraction is not for the faint hearted (literally). Particularly if your husband population collapses of both in our region. The Glossy Black had nationally significant breeding strongholds in the Nymboida catchment that now support much fewer animals because of rampant recent industrial logging of these strongholds. Industrial logging of our native forests dries them out, it makes fires much more dangerous to our lives and properties and it destroys our water security. Because of landscape-scale logging across the regional water supply catchment on the Dorrigo Plateau the Nymboida River was recently so putrified with sediment from logging that it was unable to be usedGrafton was put on high--level water restrictions. Ratepayers are now on the hook for well over $100 million (potentially greater than $150 million) to filter out

you can always come back to it in a few days or weeks. As I said, it’s a two-person job for us. The first person will grab the horns or the head of the goat and hold the animal securely. If you have well-behaved goats, you could tie them to a wall but mine have attempted to hang themselves at times when I’ve done this. The second person is the trimmer – that’s usually me. I stand facing the back end of the goat and put the foot I am trimming tightly between my legs with the goat’s leg bent so that the sole of the foot faces up (but anything goes really, just hold on tight). Clean out any debris with a hoof pick. Starting on the sides of one of the toes, cut any overgrown pieces of the hoof wall. There can be a lot of mud trapped under these. Work up towards the toe to expose the lighter coloured sole underneath. The heel can also be cut back. Then, put the foot down to check that your work is flat and parallel to the coronary band (the line at the top where

He is going to need some support after his procedure (mainly in the form of a dental ice pack which, from personal experience, will make him look like a chipmunk who has enjoyed one too many acorns). You may enjoy some solitude, but you won't be getting any rest. You'll be making soothing jellies and custards, administering pain relief like Nurse Ratched, ensuring he is gargling to avoid dry socket (which is a truly hideous experience), and generally making sure that when you have the same procedure, he will administer empathy (and post-op drugs) in equal measure. Carpe diem, Jasminda. the muck that FCNSW put in our drinking water supply (atop the approximately $180 million originally invested in the Coffs-Clarence scheme). Our native forests are our best insurance policy against global heating; they stabilise our climate and make it rain, they deliver and maintain water security. Across the Great Koala National Park these forests support the most astonishingly rich evolutionary expressions of nature with some of the most ancient forests on Earth. FCNSW seeks to remove this from us and future generations. This pillaging simply must stop, the benefits are immediate and extend to us all, our economy, our society and our ecology.

the hoof starts), readjusting and trimming a little more if needed. It is best to trim the inside wall of the foot a little bit lower than the outside as this is how the animal would usually support its weight when standing. With cracks or holes that aren’t causing lameness, I usually spray some hydrogen peroxide or something similar into them. If the animal is lame and this treatment doesn’t improve the situation, keep the foot as dry as possible and consult a veterinarian. Don’t worry, there will be another weekend next week to do the others.

MIDSOMER MURDERS

ABC, 8.30pm

A gloriously beautiful and grand 300-year-old mansion is the beguiling supporting character to Neil Dudgeon’s much-loved detective in this veteran crime drama’s 24th season opener. In the postcard-worthy yet crime-riddled four episodes, there’s the case of a murdered book lover with a trail of cryptic clues; a murdered pet detective amid a ﬂurry of furry suspicions; and a Texas oil magnate setting up home in one of England’s greenest and most idyllic small towns, only for a slew of murders to cast a dark shadow. In “The Devil’s Work” tonight, an unlikeable artist and his planned upheaval of his family’s magniﬁcent historical estate sees more than just bad blood.

Unshackled from the TV studio, News Breakfast cohost Lisa Millar shines even brighter. A convivial backup presenter for stalwart Heather Ewart, Millar is back on the road tonight and in sparkling form… No, she’s not visiting Australia’s capital of toothpaste or ﬁnding out who takes the crown as the country’s disco haven; rather she’s in the heat and hope of Queensland’s remote Gemﬁelds. Millar meets the people who are keeping the mining tradition alive, including gem baron Ray Richardson, who takes her for a spin in his 1957 pink Cadillac. There are, of course, gems to be found, including a Mardi Gras festival, with Millar joining a drag queen for “Blingo” night at none other than Rubyvale pub.

THE MATCHMAKERS

SBS, 8.40pm

In the age of Tinder and fast-paced online dating, this endearing new three-part series shines with old-fashioned simplicity. It sheds light on different cultures as three love hopefuls embark on their quest to find their romantic and spiritual match. Guided by veteran matchmakers – Jewish Sydney matchmaker Toby Lieder, Indian professional duo Preeti and Heena, and Muslim Sheikh Alaa Elzokm – last week’s premiere was a trove of vulnerability and hope, and a fascinating peek inside the motivations and expectations of various beliefs and traditions. Tonight, emotions are heightened when the singles head on their first dates. The experts also share what they believe makes for a lasting marriage. 1602
