Saunders bucks trend in local vote count; vows to fight on

By LUKE WILLIAMS NARROMINE’S Rotary Park Boat Ramp will be closed for at least another three weeks. Repair and restoration works are currently being carried-out on the ramp which should, weather permitting, be ﬁ nished by mid-April. Water levels at that time will then determine its re-opening date. The works had been planned to begin for the past 12 months, however, the height of the river meant that the builders – specialised maritime contractors – were unable to get access. “The existing boat ramp slab units will be removed and will be later used for bank erosion control,” a Council spokesperson recently told the Narromine Star. “Large boulders will be laid on the bed of the river along with a geotextile ﬁ lter membrane around the boat ramp area to stop erosion. “Piles will be installed for bank protection. A concrete ramp will be poured in situ (on site). The total estimated cost of the project is approximately $173,000,” they added. The area around the boat ramp for some times has been getting scoured due to boating activities and river currents.

By LUKE WILLIAMS DUGALD Saunders has pledged to keep pushing for projects across the Narromine region, as he retained his seat of Dubbo in resounding fashion at the State Election over the weekend. With more than half the vote counted, the returning member for Dubbo looks to have gained a 15 per cent swing in the seat with more than double the votes than his next closest rival – Labor’s Josh Black. On a two-party preferred basis, Saunders leads by 66 to 33 over Black. This compares favourably to the 2019 result where Saunders only narrowly defeated Independent, Mathew Dickerson. Without an independent in the ﬁeld this year, both Labor and the Nationals also enjoyed big increases in their votes. “People were just responding to the dedication and hard work of our team,” Saunders told the Narromine Star of his increased poll result “We have worked too hard to ﬁ nd-out what issues people are concerned about and what they talking about. “You can’t always please everyone, but you can do your very best and that’s what we

have done,” he added. State-wide, the Labor Party recorded a 7.4 per cent swing and is now on about 54.3 per cent of the two-party-preferred vote. The Coalition had a ﬁve per cent swing against it to record less than 30 per cent of the primary vote. The overall

minor-party and independent vote is up to more than 28 per cent, up from a previous record of 25 per cent in 2019. The Greens have gained a small swing on the vote count so far across NSW, however, they dropped slightly in the seat of Dubbo. The Liberals lost the ma-

jority of their seats in Western Sydney. The Nationals appear to have lost one seat state-wide. “People do really respond when you have a good local member who is absolutely dedicated to serving the local community,” Saunders said. Continued page 7

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, March 30, 2023

Country newspapers’ bright future – Report’s blueprint for success REPORTED death of the oldstyle country newspaper; has been greatly exaggerated! A new national report into local news sustainability, says that country mastheads still have a vital role to play in informing, educating, and entertaining rural Australia. Governments could, however, be doing far more to help save this community institution, by revising their advertising rules to help local news providers and better-target regional and rural communities. These are two of 22 recommendations from the study, Media Innovation and the Civic Future of Australia’s Country Press, which is the culmination of a three-year Australian Research Council project led by Deakin University in partnership with the nation’s peak local news lobby, Country Press Australia, and RMIT University. Project lead, Professor Kristy Hess from Deakin’s School of Communications and Creative Arts, said the project’s aim, was to examine the local media landscape to identify challenges and opportunities for sustainability and innovation. “We wanted to examine the challenges facing smalltown news providers given the commentary in recent years about the crisis they are facing in Australia and across the world,” she said. This was the fi rst comprehensive report of its kind in Australia, and its recommendations provide a blueprint to preserve and grow rural and regional news for future generations, she added. The study began at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the temporary or permanent closure of dozens of local mastheads across Australia, and a shift among some to digital-only platforms. “The fi rst thing we did, was conduct a major national survey to fi nd out what people valued about their local mast-

We found people in many regional and rural towns and cities were passionate about their local mastheads but rejected an overreliance on syndicated content, in print and digital, sourced from neighbouring areas or other parts of the country,” she added. The research team conducted two main national surveys – one with local news audiences and one with those who do not engage with local news; 35 interviews with Australian news editors and proprietors; and seven interpretive focus groups with editors, journalists, and advertising managers, within the Country Press Australia network. One key ﬁ nding, was the strain on local mastheads hit with lost revenue from Local, State and Federal government advertising, which in recent

years had prioritised social media and metropolitan news outlets with a larger digital reach. “Our research found there is this obsession with digital reach. That’s all well and good, but a local masthead, whether in print or online, isn’t designed to reach one million people,” Prof Hess said. “If we use the digital reach metric as an indicator as to which news outlets should get government advertising, these independent regional and rural outlets are going to lose out every time.” The report supports a recent Parliamentary Inquiry recommendation that stipulates 20 per cent of all Federal Government advertising expenditure, be directed to regional and rural news organisations. Data from the study, also showed government funding

schemes for local news outlets were often tied to digital innovation, for instance to buy drones and other technologies, when what local news providers needed, was ﬁnancial support to upgrade print infrastructure or to hire more staff. “Print is not dead for many regional and rural communities. We need to remember there is a digital divide in Australia that means some communities still struggle with poor-quality and unreliable Internet connections. “Some segments of the community, including older citizens, ﬁ nd it difficult to use newer technologies. Younger audiences also like the look of a printed newspaper,” she said. The report also recommends better incentives, including pay, to attract seasoned reporters to the regions. Gov-

ernments are also urged to provide seed funding for journalist-led news start-ups to counteract local ‘news deserts’ developing in some parts of Australia.

“Our research shows people in these communities want more local news content, including stories on locals’ achievements, successes and milestones. They also want news on local events and more investigative-type pieces,” Prof Hess said.

“We also found there is more capacity for regional and rural news providers to develop collaborative advocacy and solutions-style reporting campaigns that address important rural and regional issues that span multiple communities,” she concluded.

FREE sausage sizzles, a magic show, and a preschool Easter Bonnet Parade, will set Bicentennial Park, Trangie alive next week. The Day is an outreach for all in the community to show what is available for those in need of support in our town, Narromine Coordinator – Communities for Children at the Narromine Community Skills Project Inc Ann-Louise Stonestreet told the Narromine Star. “Trangie Family Fun Day will have 35 services offering freebies, kid’s activities, free sausage sizzle and drinks, an easter egg scavenger hunt for all kiddies big and small, and Pooka’s magic show and balloon animal for every child,” Ms Stonestreet said. “We will also have award-winning Aboriginal Dance and TCR Group 5 Dance group from Trangie Central School who always give an amazing performance from Trangie Central School,” she added. Trangie Local Aboriginal Lands Council CEO, Terrie Milgate, started the Family Fun Day more than 12-years-ago to bring services that outreach to Trangie into one event, inviting families and communities to attend to meet these vital services along with all the students from Trangie Central School, St John’s Catholic School, and Trangie Preschool. Over the last eight years, it has morphed into being a Trangie Interagency event – run by Trangie Local Aboriginal Lands Council and Ms Stonestreet – into an event where up to 35 vital services attend this year.

“I love seeing the smiles on the kids and hearing from adults that ‘I never knew about that, it’s just what I need’ when talking with services,” Ms Stonestreet said. “These days take a lot of time to put into place, and services take time to travel, set-up, and be there, which is so appreciated,” she added. She said the success of the event makes her proud of the quality of services willing to go out of their way to make small communities feel special, seen and valued. “My hope is that the community, from town and out of town, attend to be part of the day,” she told the Narromine Star. Ms Stonestreet said that this year they aim to have more community attend. “There are so many things offered out there that everyone does not know about,” she said. “For example, Services NSW will be there to sign Seniors PLUS anyone who is working a traineeship, apprenticeship or full-time Uni with a $250 fuel card. “A terriﬁc Health Hub will be attending with so many health services, so it’s an ideal time to see many of them in one place”. No prior registration is required, however, on the day there is a registration table – with lucky tickets drawn during the three hours to win an iPad and case from Mission Australia. “These Fun Days would not be possible without the generosity from services, dedicating their time, effort, and brokerage into the community,” Ms Stonestreet said.

Tomingley Races set for big crowds By LUKE WILLIAMS TOMINGLEY Picnic Race organisers are expecting a crowd of more than 1400 people over the weekend. “It looks like it’s going to be an amazing day,” Tomingley Picnic Race Club President, Jason Hartin told the Narromine Star. “It’s a once a year event to get the whole community together, with a great crowd and a great community,” he added. As well as the gee-gees, there will be $5000 in prizes for Fashion On the Field, and a new 100-metre sprint – for the people, not the horses! Mr Hartin said that a total of 49 horses will feature across six races, with some of the horses running in more than one race. The horses will be sold on Friday Night at the Crossroads Hotel and come from places as diverse as Canberra, Nyngan, Parkes, and Coonamble. Narromine horse trainer, Kylie Kennedy, will have two horses racing at the event, Jesta Diva

and Basil from the Block. Jesta Diva is a recent winner, while Basil from the Block is a relative newcomer. “Jesta Diva will give a good run,” Ms Kennedy said “Basil raced at Narromine a few weeks ago, and got caught out wide, so, hopefully, he will draw a good barrier and won’t have to make up extra ground,” she added. Ms Kennedy says it normally takes around three months of training to get thoroughbreds ﬁt for a competition like The Tomingley Picnic Races from when the horses come straight from the paddock. Jesta Diva has been “having an easy week” after backing-up from a race over the weekend, while Basil from the Block, has been track-worked several times and has “galloped really well” according to the experienced trainer. “Tomingley Picnic Race will be a good day, is always a good day and everyone has a lot of fun” Ms Kennedy concluded.

Saunders bucks trend in local vote count; vows to fight on

PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

From page 1 “FOR us as Nationals, we are all about representing regional NSW” the former for Western NSW,” he told the Narromine Star. “Policies announced by the Government have been extraordinarily thoughtful, insightful, forward-thinking policies... but the Liberals

in Sydney, and in particular Western Sydney, will be looking at how they represented their electorate at a local level. “Maybe it just came down to the fact that, after 12 years, people just thought it was time for a change. I don’t feel that. I feel that after just four years I am new and fresh and invigorated.”

Saunders said he was concerned that a Labor Government would show a: “lack of respect” to regional NSW and agriculture throughout the State. He said the Labor Government had already signalled it would divert money away from the $3.3 billion regional development fund. Howev-

er, a spokesperson from the ALP told the Narromine Star the claim was “dishonest” and that no money is going to be taken away from regional and rural NSW. “The result in Dubbo shows there has been a swing to the ALP on a two-party preferred basis,” the spokesperson said. Saunders said his party

would “rebuild” after the election loss. Meanwhile, he says he will remain focused on projects that are important to the Narromine region including the over-taking lanes between Dubbo and Narromine as well as “opportunities for renewable energy and feedlots” and a “housing strategy”.

Issues with the Safeguard Mechanism I SPOKE in the Parliament last Tuesday, March 21 on the Labor Government’s Safeguard Mechanism (Crediting) Amendment Bill 2022 and, made the observation, that it all sounded very similar to around a decade ago with the Carbon Tax. Again, Labor is looking to use a tax system rather than innovation to reduce emissions. The Parkes electorate is already doing the heavy-lifting when it comes to emissions reduction and clean industry – not the capital cities. Regional areas are where the bulk of these industries occur, and where the bulk of the cost will be felt if this Bill goes ahead. Pushing industry offshore to countries like Indonesia, where they don’t have the environmental standards that we do here in Australia, is not a solution if you’re serious about global emissions reduction. It is very frustrating to me that the Labor Government wants to push premature, punitive policies, onto industry instead of taking a practical, measured approach.

Uncertainty around the Inland Rail I ALSO took the opportunity to make a statement on the Inland Rail in Parliament, reminding the Minister for Infrastructure, to continue the push for completion of this project. She has had the independent review of this project, the Schott Report, for weeks now, and there’s starting to be a level of nervousness in the community. People across the Parkes electorate, have put a huge investment into the Inland Rail, and the completed section between Moree and Narrabri is already in full-use. In fact, this section of rail, was the only piece of infrastructure between Moree and Narrabri out of the water during recent floods. This project is a game-changer for the inland, and I will continue to work with stakeholders, State and Federal levels of government, to get this done. I call on the Minister for Infrastructure, to give my communities confidence and fi nish this project.

Voice to Parliament developments ON Wednesday, March 22, the Senate passed an amendment to Australia’s referendum machinery laws, meaning the rules are now set as to how the Voice to Parliament referendum will be conducted. This includes the provision to all households of one pamphlet containing both “yes” and “no” arguments, and a copy of the proposed amendments to the constitution. There won’t be public funding

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, has spoken in Parliament on a number of important issues recently. for either side of the debate. The proposed question has also been announced, with Australians to be asked whether they approve altering the Constitution to “recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice”.

Aged care staffing requirements I HAVE called on the Labor Government to immediately address whether they will

require struggling aged care homes to meet rigid staffing requirements by July, or risk closure. Following the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, the Labor Government announced its Aged Care Reform as part of their 2022 election commitments. This included a requirement that all aged care homes must have a Registered Nurse onsite 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from July 1, 2023. Aged Care Minister, Anika Wells, has now acknowledged that the Government’s legis-

lated policy is not deliverable, due to the impacts of the workforce crisis, however vulnerable aged care homes remain in a state of uncertainty about what will happen to them if they cannot meet the current or any future deadlines imposed. I am calling on the Labor Government, to make a clear guarantee to aged care homes in the Parkes electorate, that none of our aged care facilities will be closed, either now or in the future, as a result of unrealistic policy requirements.

Farmer Fiona and “Boys to the Bush” bag country leadership awards FIGHTER for country Australians, Fiona Simson, has taken out one of our top rural awards. Ms Simpson, President of the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF), was recently named the 2023 winner of Rabobank ‘s Leadership Award in recognition of the “vitally important” role she has played advocating on behalf of Australia’s agricultural sector. A Rabobank Community Leadership Award was also presented to the Albury-based “Boys to the Bush”, a not-forproﬁt community organisation providing preventative and early intervention strategies for disengaged young males, and to New Zealand’s Growing Future Farmers, a national training and development program providing career pathways for future farmers. Ms Simson became the ﬁ rst female leader in the NFF’s 40year history when she was elected president of the organisation in 2016, after a career in local government and leadership of the NSW Farmers’ Federation. She was announced as recipient of this year’s award at the Rabobank Farm2Fork summit in Sydney last Thursday. Rabobank Regional Manager, Peter Knoblanche, paid tribute to Ms Simson, saying her work leading the NFF – the peak national body representing farmers and agriculture across Australia – was “making one of the most fundamentally important contributions to leadership in the food and agribusiness sector”. “Through her leadership of the National Farmers’ Federation, Fiona has played,

roots, not-for-proﬁt program, offering preventive interventions for regional NSW and north east Victorian males aged between nine and 22,” Mr Knoblanche explained. The initiative had been established by three NSW-based high school teachers who had “watched too many boys from disadvantaged backgrounds slipping through society’s cracks”. The program works closely with local businesses and grower groups to organise group and individual ‘MENtor’ youth visits, working bees and guided work experience opportunities to assist young men join the workforce and contribute to their local economy.

Mr Knoblanche added that Ms Simson was the driving force behind NFF’s Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program, which focuses on the development and engagement of the talented women in agricultural and agribusiness industries. “This is now in its sixth year and boasts an alumnus of 52 graduates, who have gone on to pursue high proﬁ le and impactful leadership positions and to be change-makers within their community,” he said. Mr Knoblanche said, in making their decision, the award judges – made up of an independent panel of former award

recipients – also acknowledged Ms Simson’s role as a key collaborator for the 2030 Roadmap, a national plan with a bold vision to exceed $100 billion in farm gate output by 2030. She also holds multiple community and industry roles, including chairing the recently-established Future Food Systems CRC, a Commissioner and Chair of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, as a director on the boards of Australian Made Australian Grown and Australian Farmers Fighting Fund, and as the patron of the National Rural Press Club and the Gunnedah Gatepost Community Support Centre. In addition to her many industry and community roles, Ms Simson is also a farmer on the Liverpool Plains where she

and her family run a mixed farming enterprise including broad acre farming and breeding commercial Poll Hereford cattle. “As a prominent innovator and inﬂuencer in the Australian food and agribusiness sector with a wealth of leadership and governance expertise, Rabobank is pleased to be able to recognise Fiona’s dedication and contribution,” Mr Knoblanche said. The introduction of the new Rabobank Community Leadership Award also saw worthy winners in the Boys to the Bush program, he added. “The Boys to the Bush program is an outstanding initiative, providing tangible, meaningful beneﬁt to the rural community,” he said. “Boys to the Bush is a grass-

“This new award category aims to highlight community initiatives that align with one or more of the key themes at the centre of work being undertaken by the Rabo Client Councils – groups of the bank’s clients in Australia and New Zealand who work with Rabobank to address industry and community challenges in farming and agribusiness – and the Rabo Community Fund, launched in 2021 to invest in the sustainability and vitality of rural communities,” he said. A grant of $25,000 will be gifted to Boys to the Bush, with the organisation planning to invest the funds in a barbecue trailer, allowing them to participate in more rural and regional community events. Funds will also be directed to a new initiative developed by the organisation – a bush camp for deaf or hearing-impaired youth.

Western NSW hardest hit by natural disasters last summer: NRMA DUBBO, Trangie and Broken Hill have been the hardest hit areas of the State by natural disasters this past summer, insurance claims with the NRMA reveal. The study also showed, surprisingly, that many people spend more time researching coffee shops, rather than natural dangers, in areas they intend to move to. New claims data for the group reveal the huge impact of storms and wild weather

damage this last season – with more than half of all home claims in NSW caused by severe weather. NRMA Insurance received 8299 claims in total for wild weather damage in NSW this summer, with Dubbo, the for Far West and Orana accounting for nearly one-eighth (12.8 per cent) of all NSW claims. In some good news, however, the survey also reveals that residents of Western NSW

are feeling better prepared for wild weather – with the region’s self-assessed wildweather-ready score rising 7 points to 63/100 – to be the ﬁ fth best-prepared region in NSW. In addition, the Tracker includes new research of 3500 Australians, including 1000 NSW residents, revealing that those considering moving home are more likely to research where they can grab a coffee or dine locally, rath-

The research shows that when considering moving home, NSW residents are more likely to research local cafe and dining options (30 per cent versus 27.2 per cent nationally) and are less likely to research local wild weather risks (24 per cent versus 26.6 per cent nationally) than others in the country.

Dirty, disease-carrying, destructive: call to cut feral pig numbers

A huge rise in feral pig numbers has resulted in massive damage to properties and livestock, NSW farmers say.

There has been a huge rise in feral pig numbers in remote areas of the State which has resulted in massive damage to properties and livestock, farmers say. PHOTO: DPIE ONE of the unfortunate side-effects for agriculture in western NSW after three years of above-average rainfall has been a huge rise in feral pig numbers in remote areas of the State. Farmers say that the explosion in these disease-carrying pests in the north and west of the State has resulted in massive damage to properties and livestock. Across NSW, more than 34,000 hoofed feral animals – including pigs, deer and goats – have been culled since November last year, but the feral pig population has remained enormous. NSW Farmers member Peter Mailler, for one, is still seeing them run across his front lawn at North Star, and he said they presented a huge biosecurity risk if not controlled. “They’re doing enormous

damage to property and the numbers are as bad as I’ve ever seen them,” Mr Mailler said. “We need effective pest control management plans – with the resources and commitment of all parties – to tackle feral pests and weeds so we can get on top of them and stay on top of them. “Farmers can’t do this individually – pigs and other pests don’t respect property boundaries. The state needs to ramp up efforts and do the job properly,” he said. The NSW Government lists feral pigs as a “key threatening process” as they spread weeds and disease, hunt native animals and damage the environment. They also posed a problem for farmers as they preyed on newborn lambs, eat and destroy grain crops and pastures, and damage fences.

Bronwyn Petrie from the NSW Farmers Conservation and Resource Management Committee, said that, while farmers were active in trying to control pest animals and weeds on their properties, a lack of effective control on public lands was undermining their efforts. “Farmers know that’s where the pigs are breeding because we see them coming onto our farms from public lands,” Mrs Petrie said. “Yet over the past seven years there hasn’t been a single prosecution on public land managers for animal pests. Unless there is an urgent and coordinated control effort on all land – public and private – this problem will only get worse,” she added. Tamworth sheep producer Norm Thomas said he lost 120 lambs this year – estimated to

be worth about $24,000 – to feral animals, and agreed there needed to be a major control effort. “We’re not sure if they were killed by pigs or wild dogs, but I’m pretty sure they were pigs,” Mr Thomas said. “The problem here is that not every landholder wants to do their part in controlling pest animals, but that just gives them safe country to breed in. “You hear these politicians talk about the importance of biosecurity, and yet they allow this huge biosecurity threat to run roughshod across the state,” he added. Mrs Petrie said that NSW Farmers had called for a commitment from both sides of politics to tackle the issue, by establishing an independent Natural Resource Regulator to coordinate and enforce

management of public lands including National Parks (which take up 10 per cent of the state’s total area) and other Crown lands, a commitment to ongoing funding and resourcing for National Parks management, and sustainable funding to Local Land Services for pests and weeds management to build long-term resourcing certainty. “The agencies and organisations are there, the rules are there, there just needs to be resources and enforcement,” Mrs Petrie said. “Regardless of who owns a piece of land, everyone has a responsibility to do their part in keeping pests and weeds under control. “We can see huge problems on the horizon if we don’t do this job properly,” she concluded.

Fix bush health issues, AMA call to new Gov’t SHORTAGES of health professionals in regional and rural areas, and poorer health outcomes for people in the bush, should be a focus of the newly elected State Labor Government, the Australian Medical Association of New South Wales (AMA) has said. The new Labor Government must take immediate and direct action on a number of the long-term systemic medical issues that were identiﬁed in the recent rural health inquiry, AMA President, Dr Michael Bonning, added. “Australians living in rural and remote areas, have higher rates of hospitalisations, deaths and injury,” he said.

“To improve healthcare access in rural NSW, we need clear training pathways and solutions to rural medical workforce needs and distribution,” he added. The AMA also recently announced a policy resolution declaring rural health services as “essential services” for the purposes of support and recovery in the event of a disaster. “Rural and regional communities face the compounding impact of natural disasters,” Dr Bonning said. It has called on the Government to recognise the essential nature of all health practitioners in regional and rural

areas in the event of a natural disaster, Dr Bonning said. Many of the problems which impact disproportionately in country areas of NSW – such as hospital waiting times, doctor shortages, and the ﬁ nancial viability of GP’s – were other urgent issues facing the State’s health system, Dr Bonning said. “We welcome the Minns’ Government’s commitment to reduce elective surgery wait times through their surgical care taskforce pledge. We must see that promise coupled with sustained investment,” Dr Bonning said. “The delay in care caused by long elective surgery wait-

ing lists has a profound impact on patients as it can lead to a further deterioration of their health and quality of life,” he added. There is also an urgent need to recruit, train and retain doctors in the NSW public healthcare system, as well as issues with ambulance wait times. “Ambulances are ramped outside of hospitals; emergency departments are overﬂowing; and wards are at capacity. The Minns Government’s commitment to addressing ambulance ramping is imperative to ensure the best outcomes for our community and health workforce,” Dr Bon-

ning said. “The public expects to have timely care from a doctor in hospital, as part of a fully staffed healthcare team.” The long-term viability of general practice, was another issue that needed immediate attention, he said. “The state health system’s efforts will be undone, if general practice becomes ﬁ nancially unsustainable. “The State government must take this opportunity to protect patient access to affordable healthcare by providing general practices with a payroll tax exemption,” Dr Bonning concluded.

Wellington Boot Racing Carnival

Kieren Hazelton-trained Not Too Bad (Clayton Gallagher) raced to a good win over Avalicious (Jake Pracey-Holmes) and Dreamdeel (Grant Buckley) at the Wellington Boot Carnival on Sunday. PHOTO: WRC.

Friday, March 24 TOUGH as teak seven-yearold gelding Yak was an appropriate winner of the Over The Line-Iron Horse Handicap on Friday, the ﬁ rst day of the Wellington Boot carnival. Iron Horse the 1995 Wellington Boot winner was trained by Gai Waterhouse and later won the 1997 G1 Epsom Handicap and a host of other top races. On an overseas trip Iron Horse ran third in the Singapore Plate and as a nine-yearold won a jumps race at Werribee in Victoria. Trained at Dubbo by Michael Lunn, Yak outstayed a good lineup of country and city gallopers over the testing 2400 metres at Wellington. Well ridden by Robyn Freeman, Yak led early before obtaining a nice trail behind Jousting and Poolenza. With customary tenacity, Yak ($14) held on gamely to beat Jousting (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $9.50) and the 2022 Iron Horse winner, Insider Trader (Aaron Bullock, $1.95 favourite). Apart from Yak, the Star performer on Friday was jockey Jake Pracey-Holmes who rode four winners, beginning with the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo trained Star Of Kings

which led most of the way in the 900 metres LSS Locksmith Maiden Handicap. Pracey-Holmes again set the pace in the 1100 metres The Wash Shed Maiden Plate won by the Mark Jones, Mudgee trained $12 chance Chief White Sock. A patient ride by Pracey-Holmes enabled the Jeremy Gask, Scone trained Croatian Madame ($10) to overhaul the leaders in the 1700 metres Wellington Soldiers Club Class One and Maiden Plate. Backed from $4.80 to $2.90 favourite, the Lou Mary, Scone trained Eleni led for home and became the ﬁ nal leg of the four- win haul for Jake Pracey-Holmes when holding on to beat Anchor’s Point (Clayton Gallagher, $6) and Yorker (Braith Nock, $9.50) in the 900 metres Keirle’s Pharmacy Class One Handicap. Former jockey Glenn Frazer who is now a trainer at Coonabarabran had a nice win with Minimal (Clayton Gallagher, $6.50) which led most of the way in the 1000 metres KFC Wellington Country Boosted Class Two and above, Benchmark 50 Handicap. Other winners were the Derek Piper, Mudgee trained Anaro (Serg Lisnyy, $3.80) and Champions League (Chelsea Hillier, $14) trained by An-

drew Bourke at Boorawa.

Sunday, March 26 Information began fi ltering through on race eve that Wyong trainer Kristen Buchanan was bringing a very smart two-year-old fi lly Everlong for the $200,000 Over The Line Racing Wellington Boot. The previously unraced Everlong was quoted as a $21 outsider, but those odds were halved by the time the 13 horse field jumped from the 1100 metres barriers before a big crowd on Sunday at Wellington. Another debut maker, Mostro from the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable at Randwick was the $3.30 favourite with the Mark Newnham, Randwick trained Storm The Ramparts the second elect at $4.20. Displaying blistering early pace the Annabelle Neasham, Randwick trained Sky Artist was four lengths in front approaching the home turn. Coming from a handy fi fth position Everlong (Jeff Penza, $10) swept to the lead in the straight and lasted to win by a half-length from the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo-trained Quasimoto (Grant Buckley, $9.50) which was midfield and wide on the home turn before

flashing down the outside. Running home well along the inside rail for third was Sparkingly (Jenny Duggan, $14) which had won the Boot Prelude at Coonamble. for Wyong trainer Damien Lane, formerly from Coonamble. Carrying the 63kg top weight, the Randwick trained For Valour (Winona Costin, $3.10 fav.) tried to lead all the way but after a good battle was beaten a half-length by the Rod Northam, Scone trained High Court (Grant Buckley, $4.40) in the $100,000 Keirle’s Pharmacy Wellington Showcase Cup. A strong fi nishing third was Just A Brother (Clayton Gallagher, $6) in the 1700 metres Cup, an eligibility race for the Big Dance at Randwick in November. The 1100 metres Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club Wellington Town Plate always attracts a good field of sprinters and this year the deserved winner was the very consistent Moetta from the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo. With the leaders turning for home, Moetta (Clayton Gallagher, $5.50) scored a photo fi nish win over Washington Towers (Billy Owen, $4.80) and Safado (Jenny Duggan, $15). Throughout the day punters lined the mounting yard

fence to assess the ﬁtness of runners and in the 1700 metres Simmo’s Signs Benchmark 58 Showcase Handicap, several backed Not Too Bad which was presented in great order by Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazelton. Strongly supported from $6 to $4.60, Not Too Bad (Clayton Gallagher) sprinted past the leading pack when approaching the home turn and raced to a good win over Avalicious (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.20 equal fav.) and Dreamdeel (Grant Buckley, $4.20 equal fav.) Overall, an outstanding carnival organised by the hard-working Wellington committee.

Wellington Carnival – horse to follow THE big group of owners including several from Coonamble and Dubbo are predicted to have good times ahead with their two-year-old Quasimoto. Trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm, the ﬁve starts to date have been in very strong company and Quasimoto again produced an outstanding performance when ﬁ nishing fast for second in the $200,000 Over The Line Racing Wellington Boot over 1100 metres.

Locals win Narromine “Statewide Scramble” Contributed by NORM LEWIS A ROUND of the “Statewide Scramble” was played on the Narromine course last weekend; this is a Golf NSW competition played under their rules. Saturday’s match attracted a healthy ﬁeld of 14 teams of four players each, with a total of 56 competitors representing clubs from Cobar, Dubbo, and Wellington – as well as the local Narromine players. On arrival, all players were catered for with a delicious barbecue lunch, followed by the 18-hole competition. Winning team on the day was the Narromine combination of Mitch Smith, Steve Squires, Henry Buttsworth, and Tim Smith with a score of 52.25 nett. Runners-up, also from Narromine, were Alec Sambrook, Glen Smith, Doug Potter, and Adam Davies on 52.375. In all it was a great day for the Club. The winners will now travel to a course selected by Golf NSW for the next round with the venue at the moment, not yet decided. On Sunday, only nine players participated in an 18-Hole Stableford event with the winner Tom Hogan with a score of 43 points. Second place went to Tony Mann

on 37 with Tony also bagging the NTP (nearest-the-pin) prize on the ninth with Tom Hogan winning the NTP on the 17th. The Long Drive prize went to Craig Duff. Next weekend, the competitions at home will be, on Saturday, a FourBall Aggregate Stableford and, on Sunday, an Individual Stableford. Inter-Town Competition Also on Sunday, a large contingent of players are expected to travel to Warren for the Inter-town Challenge sponsored by Three Rivers Machinery. This is a popular event with great rivalry between the two clubs. Nominations for the event will be taken from 11am, with the hit-off at 12 noon. A barbecue lunch will be provided for all players on arrival, prior to hit-off in the 18-hole event. Business House Comp Unfortunately, Grand Final of this popular event to be held between Team EPIROC and Team NDT, was washed-out last week and was now to be played this Wednesday, March 29. Hopefully, we will have the result for next week’s edition, along with details of all the winners on the Grand Final day. That’s all for this week – see you at the 19th!

GERRIES GOLF NOTES

McDonald wins the Ladies Final in last Summer comp Contributed by NORM LEWIS ON Saturday last, some nine ladies were in attendance for the last of this year’s Summer competitions. Congratulations for this week go to Carol McDonald, who had great round scoring 28 points to claim victory. Wendy Jeffery, with a score of 25, took second place, but there was NTP (nearest-the-pin) winner for the lasses. The dreaded NAGA prize, however, went to Maida O’Mally on 14 points. As a special treat, though “El Supremo” Terry produced two special prizes for the day, and these vegie bags were won by Carol McCalman and Maida O’Mally. The ladies will now move on to their regular Saturday competitions during the winter months. As can be seen from the scores returned, the course was in great condition for the major Club Scramble event in the afternoon. This no doubt reduced the ﬁeld for this week’s event as only eight players took part. Bob Fletcher had an excellent score of 26 points to take the men’s event. A close second on the day, went Terry Willis on 25 points. None of the boys were able to bag the NTP comp, but Ron Jackson and Graham Shaw battled it out for the NAGA prize, which went to Jackson on a count-back. There were two vegetable bags up-for-grabs for the men also, and these were won by Mal Richardson and Ross King. After presentations, only one game of pool was played in the weekly competition. Greg Kearines and Bob Fletcher were up against Ron Jackson and Norm Lewis in an interesting match. All was going well for the Jackson and Lewis combination, until Lewis went in off the black, giving victory to Kearines and Jackson and the title of Pool Champs for the Week. This was also a double for “Fletch” who had previously won the Golf. Next Saturday, April 1, is the last of the summer comps for the year, with a hit-off on the back nine at 9.30am. The winter comp will then kick-off on Wednesday afternoon, April 5 from 4pm. There could be a change to this, however, depending on the revised Business House ﬁ nals. All will be advised. That it for another week. See you on the tee!

BOWLS COLUMN

Club Triples Semi-Finals THE semi-fi nals of the club triples were contested last Saturday, March 25. In game one, Bruce Maher, Ray Anthony and Adam Jermyn were just nudged out by some five shots by Clifton Harris, James Coen and Kevin Rider. In the other semi-fi nal, Richard Hyde, Mark Hilder and Ben Clark had too many answers for Kane Adams, Kerry Martin and Steve Buttsworth; winning comfortably 25/10. That has set up next week’s fi nal, in which Beaver’s Crew will do battle with Kevie and Co, in what promises to be very interesting game. Hope the window tappers get a good seat.

The Zone Singles Championships NOMINATIONS are also now being taken and again, if you would like to play in this event, a nomination sheet with all the venues and dates has been post on the notice board. Simply enter your name and preferred venue, give James Coen the $10 entry fee and the bowls secretary will ensure you get a start. Club Championships Nominations for our next Club Championship, namely the Major Minor Pairs are now being called for with the nomination sheet posted on the notice board this week.

Social Bowls results IN Social Bowls this week, 16 players went round on Thursday and just six lined up for the chook run Sunday morning. Thursday’s winners were Richard Hyde, Geoff Schoﬁeld and David McNair. (Good to see SKOEE in town for a visit). The runners-up were Bruce Powyer, Todd Reed and Steven Buttsworth. There were not enough starters on Sunday to run the chook run, so the lads just had a roll up.

Pennants THE last round of the 2023 Pennant Season fell on Sunday, March 26 and for the lads in the red trousers it resulted in a 9/01 win over their West Dubbo Opponents. So, the post-mortem looks like this: four wins, two loses and second spot on the ladder. A fair season but telling losses to Dubbo City in round one and West Dubbo in round three, put us behind the eight-ball. However, there were a couple of good things to come out of the season, notably the performance of our younger players, augers well, for the future. Well, that’s it from me for another week. Have you tried the faire the new cooks are dishing up from the kitchen yet? I have, and it’s one start for one win!

Elite bush sportswomen surveyed on well-being

ELITE women athletes competing in country sport, are being urged to take part in a new national survey about their mental health and well-being. The call follows recent release of the ﬁ ndings of a small sample study led by Victoria University’s Institute for Health and Sport’s Professor Alex Parker, which indicated that women athletes are exposed to gender-speciﬁc stressors. These include; a greater exposure to interpersonal violence (psychological, physical, or sexual, which can result in a myriad of acute and long-lasting issues); inequities such as pay disparities, under-representation in the media, fewer opportunities in leadership positions; and the challenges associated with family planning, pregnancy, and parenting.

RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES

Tullibigeal Picnic Cup, Saturday, March 25 PRIOR to Saturday, Tamsin Gough had only ever ridden a sole-winner, with another ﬁ rst-season starter, Sally Faulks, yet to taste success. However, these two ladies’ proﬁ les improved markedly

The survey of 39 women athletes across three major national sports, revealed worrying mental health and safety concerns: f Nearly 60 per cent had psychological distress that indicated a likely mental health condition; f 50 per cent had symptoms of diagnosable depression; f 50 per cent reported exposure to interpersonal violence; of these, 28 per cent reported physical violence and 27 per cent sexual violence (harassment or assault); f 31 per cent of athletes reported that they have just enough money to make ends meet, and a further 2.4 per cent reported that they often cannot make ends meet. Participants who reported exposure to violence, reported higher rates of risky drinking, lower satisfaction with life, and higher rates of mental

health concerns. “While the smaller survey sample indicates the results need to be interpreted with caution, they represent a worrying trend,” Prof Parker said. “We need to fi nd out more about the gender-specific factors impacting the safety and physical, mental and fi nancial well-being of women athletes,” she added. For survey validity, she explained the more respondents, the better the results. “In order to address and improve these factors, we need to hear from a larger number of athletes to better understand the impact these issues have on women, leading to meaningful changes in the sports sector. “We are invested in fi nding out if these patterns reflect the experience of other women athletes,” she added. She added that income levels

for women sports was a major concern for many athletes. “We want to hear from any athletes who have state or national funding or earn a salary from their sport. “With enough national data, we can provide the evidence to improve strategies and policies to enhance the safety and mental wellbeing of women in sport.” Elite athlete Gabriela Garton, former Melbourne Victory goalkeeper and member of the Argentinian women’s national team, has encountered her own challenges. “As a female player, you are constantly having to perform at the highest possible level, but without the necessary support. “As an athlete, you want to go above and beyond, but short term contracts and low wages means employment instability.”

She said that low incomes for many athletes, forced many to take-up part-time work. “I’m lucky enough to have part-time work that aligns with sport, but I know many team mates who have cleaning jobs or work in service stations, who are struggling to make ends meet. “When you add family commitments – it’s a lot to deal with and, inevitably, the stress has an impact your mental health,” she said. The study will hopefully improve the lot of elite women athletes throughout Australia, Prof Parker said. “VU is committed to improving the conditions for women in sport. “This is an urgent call to all women athletes to share their experiences conﬁdentially and be part of improving sport participation in Australia,” Prof Parker said.

on Saturday when both rode winning doubles at the Tullibigeal Picnic Races south-west of Condobolin on Saturday. Tamsin had previously won the recent Picnic Cup at Bathurst on The Enzo, but went on to run ﬁ rst in the 1600-metres Dunk Insurance – Frampton Feedlot & O’Conners Tullibigeal Picnic Cup on Broo Boss. Knee Slapper was the early leader in the race, before the Peter Kirby, Forbes-trained Broo Boss (Gough at $4.20) went to the front and was a convincing winner by nearly two lengths from Valadyium (Leandro Ribeiro on the $2.50 favourite) and Merdeka (Breanna Bourke at $5).

Earlier, Gough in a daring ride, had established a full six-lengths lead on the Kylie Kennedy, Narromine-trained Jesta Diva in the 1200-metres Class Two Handicap. Jesta Diva (at $16) was still well-clear in the straight and just lasted to win by a short neck from Adam’s First Pick (Sally Faulks at $3.70) with a half-length to the third placed Hammoon Sweetheart (Breanna Bourke at $5.50). The Connie Greig, Dubbo-trained Everyone (at $4), then became the career-ﬁ rst winner for Faulks when, in a gripping battle, she woredown stablemate Benyatta (Leandro Ribeiro on the $2.70 favourite) to score by a short-

head, with Addictions (Bourke at $3.70) humping a 76kg topweight, a gallant third, in the 975-metres Harry Worner Memorial Picnic Sprint. Faulks then completed a memorable day when the Connie Greig-trained Hot Press (at $8.50) led for home and held-on to beat Mountain Brook (Ricky Blewitt at $3) and Cheeky Nugget (Leandro Ribeiro on the $2.50 favourite) in the 1600-metres Ron Tyack Memorial Class One Trophy Handicap. Narromine-based Ricky Blewitt, followed his recent treble at Crookwell with a winning double on She’s Super and Sham at the Tullibigeal meet. From the Michael Mulholland stable at Dubbo, She’s

Super (at $2.50) led throughout to beat Sindagar (Leandro Ribeiro on the $1.60 favourite) and Red Card Rosie (Gough at $9) in the 975- metres Class B Handicap.

Fast Pulse (Leandro Ribeiro at $3) led by three lengths early-on, but was overhauled and beaten by a half-length by the Debbie Prest, Cowra-trained Sham (Blewitt at $3.70) with Supreme Reality (Bourke on the 2.70 favourite) third in the 1200-metres Maiden Plate. The very well-presented Tullibigeal racecourse, had a very good crowd trackside for the meet with a total of 12 bookmakers operating on the day.
