NSW Government to stop court registrars making bail decisions

Dolly Festival tickets are available from tomorrow

By SHARON BONTHUYS GRAB those wigs and thighhigh boots and hang-on to your hats, folks… tickets to the highly-anticipated 2024 Dolly Parton Festival will be available online from tomorrow.

But get in quick because tickets are strictly limited, organisers said, and you’ll need one if you want to get into the evening concert at Cale Oval.

You might ask: W hy do you need a ticket to get in if it’s free?

Although the festival honouring the 78-year old country music legend is back-on-track and will be free to attend — thanks to a NSW Government grant as we reported in last week’s Narromine Star — tickets are needed for entry to the evening concert as the venue can only hold a particular number of patrons safely in the available space.

“Tickets will be free this year, however, they are strictly limited, and are required for entry,” the Dolly Parton Festival Committee confi rmed in a statement last Friday.

Dubbo is No. 1 national hotspot for road-based animal collisions

By SHARON BONTHUYS DUBBO has been recognised as the number one national hotspot for road-based animal collisions, according to new research released by insurer AAMI. The central west city of more than 43,000 residents also holds the dubious distinction for the state title as well, edging out Goulburn, Orange, Yass, and Bungendore among the most likely places to have an animal-vehicle collision.

AAMI analysed 21,000 animal collision claims across Australia during 2023, with NSW surpassing Victoria as the most-dangerous state for wildlife collisions at 30 per cent, with Victoria at 29 per cent, followed by Queensland at 24 per cent.

The animal species involved in most crashes include kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, deer, dogs, cows, emus, pigs, foxes, and rabbits.

Weekends and early evenings are the most likely days to strike an animal on the road around Dubbo, with kangaroos being the animal most commonly struck between the hours of 4.30–8pm, AAMI said.

However, one of the reasons that animals are increasingly seen on local roads and venturing into urban areas is due

The volunteer group fields an extraordinary number of calls to its animal rescue line each year.

Information available from the Global Forest Watch (GFW) website also shows that Dubbo lost 351 hectares of tree cover in 2023 alone. Just 13 years earlier, in 2010, the town had 85.2 kilo-hectares of tree cover, across almost 25

per cent of its land area.

State campaign urges vigilance IN an effort to remind motorists to be mindful of and drive safely around animals, Transport for NSW (TFNSW) launched its annual “animals on country roads” public education initiative earlier this month.

TFNSW says that, between 2013 and 2022, there were a

total of 1423 serious crashes with an animal on the state’s roads, which resulted in 25 people dying and a further 1592 people being injured.

TFNSW Deputy Secretary, Sally Webb, said driving or riding on country roads can present unique challenges due to the presence of wildlife and livestock, and motorists need to be vigilant.

High chance of showers in the south, medium chance elsewhere. The chance of a thunderstorm on the southern plains from the late morning. Winds northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h tending northerly in the middle of the day then becoming light in the late afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 2 and 6 with daytime temperatures reaching between 15 and 18.

From page 1 “One in every 40 casualty crashes on country roads involves a vehicle hitting an animal,” Ms Webb said.

“Kangaroos and cattle are often close to the road and can be unpredictable, which is why it’s important that all drivers take care around animals on our roads,” she added.

This behaviour often occurs at dusk and dawn when animals are more active, she explained.

“Simple things everyone can do include slowing down, staying alert, following warning signs, and being aware that animals are often more active around waterholes, as well as being harder to see at sunrise and sunset.”

Are you ignoring the signs?

AAMI suggests part of the problem with the high number of animal-related collisions stems from motorists ignoring wildlife warning signs.

“This year, our research tells us almost half of Aussie drivers ignore wildlife warning signs — a concerning statistic as we head into winter when this is more likely to occur,” said AAMI Motor Claims Manager, Leah James.

“These signs are in place for a reason — to keep road-users and wildlife safe, paying attention to wildlife signs may not prevent an animal collision from happening, but it will help you start preparing so you’re less likely to swerve in shock,” she added.

Friday, June 21 Min 4. Max 14. Shower or two. Possible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm. Chance of any rain: 60% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy. High chance of showers in the south, slight chance elsewhere. Light winds becoming west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day then becoming light during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to around 4 with daytime temperatures reaching between 11 and 17.

Sun protection not recommended, UV Index predicted to reach 2 [Low] Saturday, June 22 Min 2. Max 14. Partly cloudy. Chance of any rain: 10% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Patches of

AAMI’s research shows that more than half (54 per cent) of the country’s motorists have been involved in an animal collision, with the majority of these occurring on rural and regional roads. These statistics come as the national insurer’s animal-related claims figures have jumped 22 per cent in the past year.

“Our claims data consistently tells us dawn and dusk are the most dangerous times for animal collisions,” Ms James said.

“During winter, days are shorter and many of us are on the road when there’s low light in the early mornings and late afternoons. This coincides with when nocturnal mammals are most active, so drivers need to be more vigilant and on the lookout for wildlife,” she concluded.

Animals on the move WHILE the statistics on animal collisions are considered high and serious in insurance circles, they pale in comparison to the work of rescue group WIRES, which deals with large numbers of animals injured in collisions.

“Last year WIRES received more than 180,000 calls to our rescue line and assisted more than 130,000 native animals,” said WIRES spokesperson Kristie Newton.

“A large portion of the wildlife in our care have come to us due to a vehicle collision, either being struck themselves or left orphaned after their mother was killed,” she added.

Habitat loss is a huge driver in animal movement, the organisation says.

“Our native animals are being displaced from their natural homes and forced into urban areas in search of food and shelter,” Ms Newton said.

“Sadly, our wildlife are becoming more vulnerable to traffic, and collisions with vehicles are on the rise,” she concluded.

Tips for drivers TFNSW offers the following tips to motorists help reduce the risk of a crash involving wildlife: f Reduce your speed when driving through areas where wildlife is known to be active. f Keep an eye out for animals on or near the roadside. f Stay alert near water-holes and creeks, where animals tend to gather. f Remember that animals are harder to see at sunrise and sunset. f Follow animal warning signs alerting you to the presence of animals in the area, slow down, stay alert, and be prepared to stop if required.

WIRES urges motorists to carry a “rescue kit” in their cars, consisting of a cardboard box, towel and gloves, and would like motorists involved in collisions with animals to stop, if they can do so safely, and carry out a “pouch check.”

“Many marsupial joeys survive vehicle collisions when in their mum’s protective pouch,” the organisation said.

In Brief

Around the traps…

HERE are the latest little news-grabs from around the shire and beyond. f Submissions are being sought for a Parliamentary inquiry into arts and music education and training in NSW schools.

The joint select committee will look at how education can support the development of creative skills, entrepreneurial skills, and experience in the arts and music industry. Submissions close in late July. f The NSW Government will formally consider a proposal by Tabcorp Holdings Limited to make tax and regulatory changes to the wagering sector that would alter the way funding flows to the racing industry. The proposal will ultimately be considered based on value for money, benefits to the NSW taxpayer, and

its ability to secure a sustainable future funding model for the NSW racing industry. f In the lead up to “Take Your Dog to Work Day” (Friday, June 21), Companion Animal Network Australia has launched its Pets in Business program to help employers set up pet-friendly policies to welcome pets into the workplace to reduce stress and improve employee retention. If you’re a business allowing pets at work, drop us a line! f Telstra is providing 12,000 complimentary mobile devices for customers who are in difficult situations, live rurally, or are elderly, who may need some external support transition when the 3G network closes at the end of August. f The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is seeking expressions of

interest from a diverse range of individuals to serve as members of the Basin Community Committee (BCC). Up to six people will be appointed in this round to serve from April 2025. f A reminder that the Healthy Communities Foundation Australia’s Community Scrum in support of mental health is on in Narromine tonight, featuring guests from the rugby league community. See their social media for details. f People aged 65 and over are again being urged to book in now for their free flu vaccine, as the virus continues to surge across the State.

We’ll have more on this in next week’s issue, but don’t delay. Contact your local pharmacy and get your free flu shot today.

From page 1 This limit will enable organisers to plan for the multitudes of visitors expected to attend the evening concert to be held for the fi rst time at the Cale Oval sporting precinct in central Narromine.

Since the announcement of the funding decision was casually dropped in the NSW Parliament on Thursday, June 6, and subsequently reported on Radio 2GB that afternoon, the hard-working volunteer organising committee who plans and stages the event has been working well past “nine-to-five” to get the event up and going.

The committee acknowledged the funds from the Government for the lifeline it has provided the event, and by extension, the wider community that will benefit from a fun, family-friendly event.

“Through the generous support of the NSW Government and Narromine Shire Council, our fabulous event is back on!” the committee announced.

“The program of events on Saturday, October 12, will include a family-friendly, fun-fi lled day beginning with a Street Party, followed by the main concert

that evening,” they added.

As has developed over the past couple of years, the daytime Street Party has brought hordes of visitors to Narromine, which has provided an opportunity for local schools, dance groups, and performing artists to entertain appreciative crowds.

Tickets will not be required for entry to the Street Party or any other badged events, it is understood.

“The Street Party will begin in the morning and have something for the whole family with entertainment, market stalls and food vendors fi lling the closed main street, giving it a carnival atmosphere,” the festival committee said.

“The concert held at Cale Oval will be open to the whole community and, once again, we’ll have a fantastic line up, including a Dolly impersonator, Brooke McMullen, Graham Toole as Kenny Rogers, local songstress Tanya Andrew, and host Timberlina.

“Ballz n All will complete the night with covers to rock our socks off !”

Tickets go on sale from 9am tomorrow, Friday, June 21, through Dubbo-based ticketing agency 123Tix.

Rural Crime Matters

NSW Government to stop court registrars making bail decisions as DV support ramps up port to women fleeing domestic and family violence situations, which Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described as a “national crisis”.

“Too often, a lack of support stops women from being able to leave a violent situation,” Mr Albanese said following a meeting of the national cabinet on May 1.

“We’ll permanently establish the Leaving Violence Program to provide payments of up to $5000 for those eligible. Because I want women to know if they need to leave they can afford to.”

Mr Albanese said that violence against women is not a problem for women to solve, and that cross-government support would take place to strengthen accountability and consequences for perpetrators.

UnitingCare Australia National Director, Claerwen Little, welcomed news of the Leaving Violence Payment and Mr Albanese’s commitment to make permanent the Escaping Violence pilot program that the organisation has delivered since 2021.

“This program is delivering positive, often life-saving outcomes, supporting almost 60,000 individuals during the two-year pilot. It provides practical support to assist people fi nding safety from violence and begin the journey of recovery and healing,” Ms Little said last month.

“The Leaving Violence Program is a crucial part of the continuum of support because it reaches a unique group of victim-survivors (of which 95 per cent are women). Of the people supported, 80 per cent are self-referred, meaning that it provides a crucial frontdoor for individuals seeking access to support in a way that is not met in the current service landscape,” she added.

By SHARON BONTHUYS EARLIER this month, the NSW Government announced that all bail decisions will in future be made by magistrates as part of its $230 million domestic violence response package.

This policy change builds on the NSW Government’s commitment to ensure magistrates oversee weekend bail hearings and means the domestic, family, and sexual violence bail reforms will make it more difficult for those accused of serious domestic violence offences to get bail.

Changes to come STRENGTHENING of bail laws in NSW will also expand the show-cause test to coercive control and serious domestic violence offences committed against intimate partners, and will require electronic monitoring for alleged serious domestic violence offenders granted bail, according to the NSW Attorney-General’s Department.

The reforms expand the categories of offences for which bail decisions can be ‘stayed’, while also requiring bail decision-makers to consider domestic abuse risk factors, and to consider the views of victims and their family members.

The Government will invest $34 million over four years, including employing up to six additional magistrates, along with supplementary costs to be incurred by NSW Police and Legal Aid. It also includes specialist domestic and family violence training for magistrates and court staff, costs associated with evaluation, and capital funding to ensure audio-visual link facilities are available to support remote bail hearings.

Attorney-General Michael Daley said of the changes: “Registrars have an important place in the administration of the courts, but there is now a community expectation that our magistrates are best-placed to make these decisions in what are often very difficult circumstances.

“This is one part of a mul-

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, June 20, 2024

Rural Health Matters System in crisis: mental health inquiry committee tables damning report ALMOST a year after it began, the Upper House committee inquiring into the equity, accessibility and appropriate delivery of outpatient and community mental health care in NSW tabled a damning report in early June.

Chaired by Dr Amanda Cohn (MLC), the report described NSW’s mental health system as: “chronically underfunded and on the brink of collapse.”

The inquiry commenced in July last year and received 165 submissions from individuals and organisations. Of the six public hearings held during the inquiry, only one was conducted outside Sydney. That event took place in Lismore in mid-February.

Dr Cohn was very blunt in her assessment of the current state of the system.

“It is clear that NSW’s mental health system has become reactive and crisis-driven, and is letting down people seeking help, carers, as well as those working within the mental health sector,” she said.

“Immediate action is need-

ed to make sure people can access the care they deserve.”

The Committee heard stories from individuals who described the difficulty of navigating the complex and confusing mental health system, as well as carers and family who spoke of supporting their loved ones through their mental health journey.

“We also heard compelling evidence from those on the front-line, including health workers, the community and NGO sector, and those working in the justice system and emergency services who spoke about the difficult choices they are forced to make every day,”

Dr Cohn said.

The Committee made 39 recommendations to address the challenges facing the mental health system, including access to and navigation of services, pressures on workforces, and emergency responses to mental health crises.

“Key to these reforms is an immediate increase in funding to support mental health care, with particular investment in community mental health services to provide early and preventative care,” Dr Cohn added.

“It is unacceptable that it has gotten to this point and we cannot waste any more

time. The time for this reform is now.”

The NSW Government will have three months to respond to the committee’s report.

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH Building a community together

By LUKE MERRIMAN G’DAY! My name is Luke Merriman,

and I’ve recently started serving the people of the Narromine and Trangie districts through the Anglican Church.

It’s been wonderful to get to know the community, little by little, and we have already found it to be laidback, friendly, and welcoming. So, thank you!

My wife, Lauren, and I have a soft spot for the Central West — having previously lived, worked, and been married in the Parkes area. We now have three young kids.

Originally, I hail from a sheep farming family in the Yass area, not that different

from here. I originally trained in newspaper journalism and moved around for work before retraining for ministry about 11 years ago.

I’ve then helped in a number of ministry roles since then, while also working in property maintenance.

We’re looking forward to doing what we can to help bless this community and come alongside what God is already up to in this part of His world.

I look forward to meeting many more of our community soon and seeing how we can work together for the betterment of our town and the wellbeing of its residents.

One of my hobbies, when I have time, is researching history and people’s inspiring stories in the past.

One such person I found inspiring is a bloke named Charles Bass, whose statue sits just opposite Coles on the main street. The statue reads: “Charles Henry Bass, 8.8.1863-10.7.1913, was the baker of Narromine. He made the people their daily bread.”

Charles, my research shows, was a dedicated member of the community and also of St Mary’s Anglican Church. For some 20 years, he regularly catered for local clubs and organisations, special occasions like

weddings, visiting dignitaries, and other events. It seems he was always hospitable to those around him — fi lling tummies and serving his fellow people whenever possible.

A violinist, Charles was also instrumental (pardon the pun) in establishing a brass band for the town, and lifting the spirits of many at numerous town events over the years.

For me, I fi nd his story inspiring. A man of faith, a man of service, and a man of the community. And a man, perhaps for all of us, to live up to!

Police warn: “ID-spoofing” scam calls claiming to be from Police THE State Crime Command’s Cybercrime Squad is urging people to be vigilant about scam calls after seeing an increase in reported caller ID spoofing.

ID or web-based “spoofi ng” is where scammers use technology to make it appear their fake call is originating from a real phone number, such as a fi nancial institution or government agency.

In recent months, detectives have been made aware of an

increase of ID spoofi ng from scammers pretending to be calling from NSW Police Stations in and around Sydney.

However, residents across the State should remain vigilant.

The caller will usually impersonate a NSW Police Officer and tell the person receiving the call they have an outstanding fi ne, before demanding payment to prevent further court action.

Cybercrime Squad Commander, Detective Superin-

tendent Matt Craft, said the NSW Police will never call a member of the public for payment in order to avoid further police action.

“The best way to deal with these types of calls is to not engage or provide information, and to hang up,” Det Supt Craft said.

“A police officer will always be willing to identify themselves and make themselves contactable at a police station.

If you’re concerned or want to

verify the legitimacy of your call, we recommend contacting the station or Police Assistance Line directly on 131 444,” he added.

“Always remember that legitimate businesses, organisations or government departments will never call a customer seeking confidential information.

“Importantly, never give your personal details or credit information out over the phone, unless you are

the one who made the call to a trusted number,” Det Supt Craft concluded.

Anyone with information about ID spoofing that may assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

Information is treated in strict confidence.

To fi nd more information about scams in general or impersonation scams, or to fi nd out ways to protect yourself, visit the Scamwatch website.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Changes to the Parkes electorate ON Friday, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), released its 2024 redistribution proposal for NSW which will see the Division of Parkes grow to include the Bland, Forbes, and Parkes, shire councils, while losing the remainder of the Gwydir Shire to the Division of New England.

Overall, this isn’t a bad result for the Parkes electorate — we’re gaining some strong towns in Parkes, Forbes, and West Wyalong.

I am sorry to see the upper half of the Gwydir Shire, which includes my hometown of Warialda, move to the New England electorate. That means that, once I retire at the next election, I will no longer live in the Parkes electorate which is personally disappointing, having represented this electorate for so long and been so invested in it.

The biggest challenge for whoever is the next Member for Parkes, will be the increase in geographical size of the Parkes electorate – from 393,413 square kilometres to approximately 406,755 square kilometres. The electorate was already well-and-truly the biggest in the State, and this increase will make it

even more difficult to get to each town regularly.

Catching-up with grant recipients LAST week in Dubbo, I had the opportunity to catchup with three of the recipients of the Australian Government’s 2023/24 Volunteer Grants program.

I caught-up with members of ORISCON, which is a vibrant cultural community group dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich tapestry of Indian sub-continental heritage in Dubbo.

They received a $4000 grant which will be used to purchase a trailer to assist with event set-up as they put on multiple events a year (which I often attend) to bring people together and celebrate their culture with the wider community.

The National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG) Dubbo branch was also awarded a $1100 grant which they will use to train more counsellors to provide support for people dealing with loss and grief.

It was lovely to catch up with CEO Trudy Hanson, who told me there has been a massive uptick in the number of people wanting to be counsellors now that it can be done remotely.

Orana Physical Culture Club also received a $1000 grant and it was great to drop-in on one of their practices, to hear how this funding will be used for staff training and to purchase new equipment.

ly showed no new money across several key areas.

Most of the funding provided to respond to major agricultural threats in the 2024/25 budget is leftover from the 2023/24 allocation.

With a major red fi re ant incursion spreading deeper into the state, our honey industry having to manage varroa mite, and foot and mouth disease knocking at our door, this announcement provides no certainty to any part of the Ag sector.

Sadly, it just shows that this

While I generally welcome any funding for my electorate, any compensation would be minor compared to the impact that taking water out of production would have on our Basin communities.

Water is a permanent stim-

ulus that provides jobs and wealth for communities and can’t be replaced by a one-off stimulus project.

The Labor Government needs to stop using the people of my electorate as bargaining chips to get votes in inner-city seats.

We’re constantly seeing the Government pandering to peo-

ple in the inner-city, damaging the economy and amenity of electorates like mine for not a lot of benefit when it comes down to it.

government is completely clueless when it comes to the impacts that are being felt by our primary industries right now and I’m concerned there simply won’t be enough new funding in this week’s budget to keep our food and fibre safe.

If you know of people making impacts in our community, I would love to hear about it!

Parkes electorate is set to get even bigger with proposed AEC changes

By NICHOLAS CROKER THE Parkes Federal Electorate will once again grow in size with the addition of three new local government areas — while losing the council area of the current sitting member, Mark Coulton’s hometown — under a proposed redistribution for NSW. The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) announced last week its 2024 redistribution proposal for the State, which would lead to the Division of Parkes growing to include the Bland, Forbes, and Parkes shire councils, while losing the remainder of the Gwydir Shire to the Division of New England.

Retiring Federal Member Mark Coulton, who lives in Gwydir Shire, said the changes aren’t too unexpected.

“Overall, the proposed redistribution is not a bad result for the electorate of Parkes — we’re gaining some strong towns in Parkes, Forbes and West Wyalong — which I’m sure will only add to this great

electorate,” Mr Coulton said.

“I am sorry to see the upper-half of the Gwydir Shire, which includes my hometown of Warialda, move to the New England electorate,” he added.

This will mean that once he retires at the next election, Mr Coulton will no longer live in the Parkes electorate, something he described as “personally disappointing”.

“The biggest challenge for whomever is the next Member for Parkes will be the increase in geographical size of the Parkes electorate.

“Each time there has been a boundary change, the Parkes electorate has grown, and this time is no different,” Mr Coulton observed.

The electorate currently covers a geographical area of 393,413 square kilometres — already the largest in NSW, covering nearly 50 per cent of the state.

These changes will see it grow even further to approximately 406,755 square kilometres, meaning more travel throughout the electorate on

a regular basis, and in turn more nights away from home for the next sitting Member.

Mr Coulton said the release of the proposed redistribution will enable The Nationals in the Parkes electorate to set a date for preselection.

“The party will now get on with the job of selecting a candidate to contest the Division of Parkes at the next election,” Mr Coulton said.

“I look forward to working with whomever is preselected over the coming months to help them get to know this wonderful electorate.”

The redistribution will see the number of members in the House of Representatives decrease from 47 to 46 in NSW, with the abolishment of the Division of North Sydney. This means the boundaries of each Federal electoral division in the State had to be altered to accommodate this change.

The changes to the Parkes electorate are expected to accommodate low or negative projected growth in elector numbers.

Enrolment in the current Division of Parkes is projected to be 109,528 electors by April 2028, which is less than the minimum number of projected electors required by the Electoral Act. The Division of Parkes therefore had to gain at least 15,557 electors, or up to 24,629

electors, for it to fall within the permissible range for the maximum and minimum number of electors in an electoral division at the projection time.

The new division will see a projected enrolment of 128,178 people by April 2028.

Have your say: local consultations in shire next week WELCOMING Australia will visit the Narromine Shire next week to conduct a research project that will inform better employment and settlement outcomes for Home Care workers, employers, clients, and communities.

The research focuses the pilot sites of Goulburn Mulwaree and Narromine Shire local government areas.

Welcoming Australia will also commence hidden accommodation analysis and discuss some insights from the housing report and skills report. These are about spare rooms and rentals.

The fi ndings will be enhanced from planned in-community consultations and dialogue.

In these sessions, community representatives will

share perspectives on spare room capacity, renting out a room for homecare workers, housing, and skill shortages.

It is envisaged that suggestions, proposals, and ideas from these sessions would encourage community members to consider renting rooms for Home Care workers in their primary residences.

Dubbo’s Alanna one of eight scholarship winners boosting community transport ALANNA Gallagher from LiveBetter Community Services in Dubbo, is one of eight industry scholarships to have been awarded to the community transport sector.

The scholarships worth $3400 each, are to provide professional development to people working for one of Transport for NSW’s contracted Community Transport Service Providers.

The scholarships are sponsored by Transport and the University of Sydney’s Institute of Logistical Studies (ITLS) and this year they have been awarded five outer metropolitan, rural and regional community transport professionals and three in Sydney.

The 2024 awardees include Alanna Gallagher from LiveBetter Community Servic-

es in Dubbo with other outer metropolitan, rural and regional recipients including Jo-Ann Fletcher from Tablelands Community Transport in Uralla, Karen Orr from The Community Transport Company in Tweed Heads, Bianca Padbury from Snowy Monaro Regional Council in Cooma and Matt Healey from Community Transport Central Coast.

As part of their scholarship, they will attend a fourday course in Sydney next month (16-19 July) and receive a Certificate of Transport Management which equips transport professionals to run more efficient, safe, and successful services.

Transport for NSW’s director of community transport Amy McCann congratulated the scholarship recipients.

“It is wonderful to see these dedicated professionals in the community transport sector developing skills so they can better serve their clients, who are transport disadvantaged by factors such as age, mobility, health issues or location,” Ms McCann said.

“It is important to encourage leaders in the community transport sector so they can best deliver quality, reliable, affordable transport,” she added.

Chair in Public Transport, Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) at University of Sydney Business School, Professor John Nelson, said the scholarship will upskill participants through a sector leading course.

“The Certificate of Trans-

port Management covers the fundamentals of management as well as the latest developments in the bus and coach industry including NSW Government Policy, mobility as a service, digital disruption, marketing and passenger relations and zero emission buses,” Prof Nelson said.

Transport for NSW contracts 68 community transport operators to provide services to around 60,000 clients each year, using more than 900 community transport vehicles such as minibuses and vans.

These clients make around 1.59 million trips each year, with 55 percent of these trips taken in rural, regional, and remote NSW.

Grains Australia welcomes India’s ending of tariffs on desi chickpeas GRAINS Australia (GA) has welcomed India’s suspension of tariffs on desi chickpeas, as a great outcome for both the Australian and the Indian pulse markets.

In May, the Indian Government suspended the tariffs that had been equivalent to about 66 per cent, with the decision effective until March 31, 2025.

Tariffs on chickpeas initially equating to 33 per cent were fi rst established by India in 2017/2018, effectively eliminating Australian chickpea exports into India — the world’s biggest consumer of chickpeas.

Grains Australia Pulse Council Chair, Peter Wil-

son, said the suspension of the tariffs was likely to deliver more reliable pricing for Australian chickpeas and add depth to already solid markets.

“It will increase competition for Australian chickpeas which are already exported into other important markets including Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan,” Mr Wilson said.

Grains Australia General Manager, Trade and Market Access, John Ackerman said GA, in collaboration with industry and government, looked forward to working with the Indian Government to build on the important development.

“It is a wonderful opportunity and we will be focused on ensuring we are meeting the needs of our chickpea markets, including supplying an affordable, high quality product,” Dr Ackerman said.

An initiative of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), Grains Australia is responsible for vital industry services and functions that improve the industry’s competitiveness and profitability.

GA, with support from the Australian Government, was represented in New Delhi earlier this year at ‘Pulses 2024’, the annual conference of the Global Pulse Confederation and a major event on

the global pulse calendar.

The event provided opportunities to communicate with Indian government and industry representatives, and a brochure Australian pulses – partnering with India was produced for the conference outlining details of Australia’s valued pulse trading relationship with India.

This interaction has delivered positive results for Australian farmers.

“This welcome decision by the Indian Government shows the value of continued, respectful government and industry engagement with a highly valued trading partner,” Mr Wilson said.

Winter holiday break fun for young in Warren and Dubbo MOVIE night, trips to Dubbo, games night, tie-dye workshops, and cultural learning are among the many activities available for young people in Warren these winter school holidays, thanks to the NSW Government’s Holiday Break program.

The Holiday Break Program has made it easier for young people and their parents and carers to fi nd activities near them via the interactive map.

Department of Regional NSW Acting Director, Charlotte Frew, said the regions will be packed with activities during the July break.

“The Holiday Break Program allows young people to see that there are experiences and opportunities open to them in the regions and we have a broad range of free activities on offer to keep young people active, connected to their communities and to make sure they’re having fun during the Winter school holidays,” Ms Frew said.

“Our Holiday Break Program team has ensured that no matter the interests of your child or teenager, there’s likely to be something that will suit them or an opportunity to try something new,” she added.

“Our relationship with local community organisations is allowing us to deliver activities that will spark the imagination of young people whether they’re a budding muso, artist or one of our future sporting heroes.”

Bushfire resilience work on Newell Hwy between Gilgandra, Narrabri BUSHFIRE corridor resilience project works are underway on the Newell Highway, between Gilgandra and Narrabri.

This follows work on the Goolma Road between Wellington and Gulgong being recently completed, with more work now on the Oxley Highway between Coonabarabran and Mullaley.

The project is designed to have as little an impact on the environment as possible, while delivering a boost to bushfi re resilience and road safety.

Transport for NSW Regional Director West, Alistair Lunn said the vegetation removal work would be funded by the NSW Government’s $19.5 million Bushfi re Corridor Resilience Project under the Regional and Outer Metropolitan – Network Resilience Program.

“The Bushfi re Corridor Resilience Project has identified and prioritised areas on the state road network where we need to build greater resilience to bushfi re, including through appropriate tree management along key regional routes,” Mr Lunn said.

An assessment of the area has been undertaken by specialist arborists and environmental experts who concluded that appropriate tree management along this key regional route was needed to better prepare for the next bushfi re season.

“The trees identified during inspections have been found to be either dead or in poor condition from natural ageing and decay, and likely to obstruct the highway in the instance of a bushfi re.

By removing or trimming the dead and damaged trees, Transport for NSW can reduce the possibility of bushfi re network interruptions due to falling trees, which will also contribute to road safety by improving sight distances for motorists.

“We understand and respect the natural beauty that trees bring to journeys through regional NSW, as well as the important role they play in providing habitat for local wildlife. An extensive environmental assessment has been completed prior to undertaking this work,” Mr Lunn said.

“As part of our commitment to the environment, we will retain hollow logs for habitat, protect any heritage items along the corridor and properly dispose of all waste throughout the project,” he concluded.

“All is not well on the farm”, Rural Aid, as producers doing it tough mentally COMMODITY prices and subdued economic conditions, are not the only worries for Australian farmers, with one of our most trusted rural charities calling urgent assistance for producers battling increased levels of mental ill-health.

Rural Aid CEO, John Warlters, said that our cockies producers are feeling overworked, under-appreciated, and anxious.

“In a recent Rural Aid study, one in two farmers said they’ve felt their mental health decline in the past year,” Mr Warlters said.

“These numbers show that all is not well on the farm… 76 per cent of our farmers, rated their mental health as poor, very poor or average, he added.

He said that farming is always a touchy economic proposition, with

conditions not looking great for food and fibre.

“It’s a sentiment echoed across the industry.

“Rabobank’s Rural Confidence Survey, has shown farm confidence has plummeted in the past three months,” Mr Warlters revealed.

Rural Aid’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Manager, Myf Pitcher, said weather conditions, biosecurity concerns, and disaster recovery are on farmers’ minds.

“Our counselling team is making a really important difference every day, we’ve been all over the country supporting primary producers,” Ms Pitcher said.

“From hay drops in South Australia, to water tank deliveries in Western Australia, and resil-

ience and recovery conversations in Queensland, our mental health and wellbeing team have been working overtime to assist farmers with the challenges they’re currently facing.”

Mr Warlters said the record dry conditions in the south and west of the nation are proving especially difficult for farmers to deal with.

“Rural Aid has organised and executed a support drop of hay, stockfeed or emergency household drinking water at the rate of roughly one per day over the last four weeks. The demand for hay in South Australia has been particularly strong.”

“But, Rural Aid can’t do any of its vital work without the generosity of the Australian public,” Mr Warlters added.

Emergency apps available for rural NSW residents to download free

GETTING caught unprepared in a natural disaster can be terrifying, but some simple precautionary actions can be taken with the help of emergency information phone apps from the NSW government.

Two apps are regarded as potentially life-saving additions to your phone: the Hazards Near Me NSW app and the Emergency Plus app, both instantly available to download free through the website below.

With information sourced directly from emergency service authorities, the Hazards Near Me NSW app is a gateway to reliable emergency updates on bushfi res and floods in regional areas.

If you are caught up in an emergency, time and location accuracy are critical, which is where the Emergency Plus app comes in.

This app gives your precise location to emergency services, using three unique words and a tool to help you ring triple zero quickly.

There are two further apps available through the Get Ready NSW campaign, which are also worth considering for your phone.

Live Traffic NSW lets you know where planned and unplanned incidents may impact on your intended travel plans, while the Bureau of Meteorology app – which is the official Australian weather monitoring service – gives you hourly and seven-day forecasts.

The NSW government recommends making use of all four apps, to benefit from all the latest weather information, warnings and assistance conveniently on your phone.

Sport CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND SEVEN REPORT

‘Roos send Jets hopping in Boronia Cup rematch

By BRYSON LUFF THE Coolah ‘Roos second defence of the Boronia Cup this year was a hard-fought win against the visiting Narromine Jets at Coolah’s Bowen Oval.

The ‘Roos got away with a solid 24-12 victory over the Jets to remain undefeated at the halfway point of the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition.

It was better pickings for the Jets in the other grades. Their League Tag side won 34-20, the win meaning that they, too, remain undefeated thus far in the 2024 competition. The Junior Jets also scored a narrow two-point win over the previously-undefeated Gulgong Terriers in a game played at Coolah, 28-26.

The senior Gulgong sides travelled a little further north to do battle with Coonabarabran. Whilst their League Tag side recorded a big win over the Unicorns, the two First Grade sides could not be split. After the full 80 minutes, the high-scoring affair involved both teams crossing for six tries as well as booting four goals apiece, for a fascinating 32-32 draw.

The Gilgandra Panthers also travelled up the Castlereagh

Highway to face the Coonamble Bears, with both sides in desperate need of a win to keep in touch with the top five.

It was to be the visitors who led at half-time, going to the sheds with the scoreboard reading 24-0 in their favour, with that lead stretching-out to 28-0 just two minutes into the second stanza.

The Bears, as always, were not about to lie down. After scoring two converted tries, it was 28-12 and there was indeed some degree of concern amongst the Panther faithful who had the recent memory of their side’s capitulation and subsequent loss to the Coonabarabran Unicorns in Round Six still burning bright.

However, they did go on to record a solid 32-18 victory over a Bears outfit that never gave up.

The Bears will need to call upon every ounce of their resilience and spirit this weekend, when they face the daunting trip to Cobar to take on the Roosters.

Whilst the win by the Gilgandra Panthers will give them encouragement, they too face a huge challenge next Saturday when they host the Coolah ‘Roos, and they will have to perform at their very best if they are to be the fi rst

team to lower the visitor’s colours this year.

The match of the round will be played at Narromine with the fourth placed Jets (15 competition points) up against the third placed Coonabarabran Unicorns (16 competition points).

GOLF CLUB NOTES

Wins for Williams, Sambrook, Bock

By NORM LEWIS DESPITE the rather cold and damp weather over the weekend, some excellent scores were recorded in all golf competitions.

On Saturday, in the Macquarie Clothing Monthly Medal round, former club champion Rob Williams, recorded a three under-par round of 67 to win the event.

Only 10 players competed on the day, but Williams played great golf to fi nish fi rst. Another former club champion, Tony Mann, recorded a score of nett 69 to take second place.

On Sunday, a field of 24 lined-up for the two-person Ambrose for trophies supplied

by Glen Monaghan and Dudley Alcorn.

Here we saw Alex Sambrook and Kale Bock return a score of nett 61¾ to win by a shot from Tom Hogan and Roz Reynolds on 62¾.

This competition was a qualifying round for the Statewide Keno event, so Alex and Kale will advance to the second round, to be announced later by NSW Golf. Unfortunately, no lady pairings played on the day.

Full results of the weekend events are as follows: Saturday, June 15: 18-Hole Stroke A-Grade Medal. First was Rob Williams on nett 67, with runner-up Tony Mann on nett 69.

The B-Grade Medal: First was Rob Gainsford on nett 74, and also Nearest-the-

Pin (NTP) Steve Squires, on the 10th. Rob Williams was also fi rst in the Long Drive.

The Drawn Birdie Jackpot went to Matt Brown on the 17th.

On Sunday, June 16: Two-Person Ambrose fielded 24 players. Alex Sambrook and Kale Bock were fi rst with nett 61¾, from Tom Hogan and Roz Reynolds on 62¾.

NTPs on the ninth, went to Tom Hogan, and on the 10th, to Rob Williams, with the Long Drive to Alex Sambrook.

This weekend, there is a Two-Person Irish Stableford for trophies by Mat Brown and Steve Squires, followed by the Annual Narromine Scramble Qualifier (a four-person Ambrose). Register before the weekend for a shotgun start. Further details are available from Alex Sambrook or Mitch Smith.

Tickets are on sale for a raffle to raise funds for our junior golfers with some great prizes on show.

On a sad note, I am told Peter Gainsford suffered an injury whilst working on the course last week. We wish you a speedy recovery, Peter.

One of our lady golfers, Bev Woods, also lost a lens from her glasses whilst playing on Saturday morning and she has asked if those playing in the vicinity of the 16th and 17th holes, could watch out for a lens lying around.

That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th!

Coming from midfield, Hell Oh Baby ridden by Gulgong based apprentice Jessica Brookes, won by over a length from Adviser (Jack Baker, $3.60 favourite) and Zachariah (Wendy Peel, $4).

The upsurge in popularity of racing in the central and western areas continued unabated with a record breaking crowd at Walgett on Saturday to see Macchina Volante win the 1400 metres Geronimo Farm Equipment/New Holland Walgett Cup. Owned by Kathryn Smith and the Dubbo based trainer Clint Lundholm, Macchina Volante was ridden by apprentice Dylan Stanley who recently returned to Wellington after a stint riding at Alice Springs

Big Saturday of races in western region in the Northern Territory.

Macchina Volante ($9) raced in a handy midfield position on the inside in the 11 horse field and fi nished well to win the Cup by a half-length from Jakat (Ella Drew, $11) and the leader Notabadidea (Andrew Banks, $3.60 favourite).

Formerly from New Zealand, mature age apprentice Ella Drew (34) had her fi rst race ride in March this year and has now ridden four winners, the latest being Invincible Faith in the 1000 metres Tefcon Formwork and Robinson Concrete Benchmark 50 Handicap at Walgett.

Apprenticed to Jan Bowen at Muswellbrook, Ella Drew was aboard the Lea Selby, Armidale trained Invincible Faith ($6) which tracked the leaders then came with a strong run down the centre of the track to beat Sippity Sip (Billy Cray, $11) and Jarmanagic (Andrew Banks, $3.50).

Billy Cray who rode the runner-up had earlier won the 900 metres Walgett Sporting Club Maiden Plate on Western Eagle for Gunnedah trainer Sue Bigg.

Western Eagle ($5) led throughout when accounting for Our Warhorse (Andrew Banks, $2.60 favourite) and Pleasing Surprise (Georgina McDonnell, $21).

The Michael Lunn, Dubbo trained Ocean Hero won as an outsider in the 1600 metres Woodham Petroleum Services BM 50 Handicap.

Making a long, sustained run from the tail of the field,

Ocean Hero (Andrew Banks, $21) charged past the opposition to score by nearly 6 lengths from Another Gift (Jack Baker, $6) and Klatten, Chelsea Stanley, $17).

Now apprenticed to Sue Grills at Tamworth after moving from Queensland, Jack Baker is impressing keen judges and again looked good when winning the 1400 metres Dubbo City Toyota Maiden Handicap on the Sally Torrens, Gunnedah trained Belle Sonnet.

Hefty Price (Zoe Hunt, $8) loomed as a big chance in the straight however Belle Sonnet (Jack Baker, $6) fished best to win by threequarters of a length with Amntaka (Georgina McDonnell, $1.80 favourite) over three lengths away third.

Raced at Mudgee on Saturday, June 15 FORMER jockey Roy McCabe from Bathurst won the 2002 Bligh Picnic Cup at Mudgee on Chanter and on Saturday he returned as the trainer of a winning double.

Chanter was owned by Jim and Amanda Bowman, the parents of star international jockey Hugh Bowman, while the winners this year for Roy McCabe were Lubly Sing and Any Marg’lldo, owned respectively by Sydney based Peter Knight and Robyn Tatham.

Riding at her fi rst meeting, Deborah Barton will long remember her win on Any Marg’lldo in the 1100 metres

Lue Handicap.

Casino Silk took the lead from Jet Missile as the 10 horse field entered the home straight however Any Marg’lldo (Deborah Barton, $3.00 favourite) steamed down the outside to win by almost 2 lengths from Gulf Of Gabes (Arthur Pollock, $6) and Casino Silk (Todd Bailey $21).

A good ride by Izzy Neale saw her bring the Roy McCabe trained Lubly Sing ($6) with a late run along the inside to beat Wabrami (Todd Bailey, $12) and the leader Buy Me A Birkin (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.70 favourite) in the 1000 metres Burrundulla Maiden Plate.

The Bligh Picnic Cup has been run for 146 years and in 2024 one of the biggest , if not the biggest, winning margins was posted by the Geoff O’Brien, Quirindi trained Uplink.

Ridden by Gilgandra based Zara Lewis, Uplink, backed from $5 to $2.60), obviously relished the very heavy track and led throughout over the 1850 metres to win by 25 lengths from Natural Mystic (Arthur Pollock, $9) with another 12 lengths to the third placed Blackhill Kitty (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.90 favourite).

Born in England, Arthur Pollock (19) has made a dream start to his career as a jockey on the NSW picnic circuit, winning the Moree Picnic Cup on Peak Road in May at his fi rst meeting, followed by a winning double at Mallawa Picnics and another winning double at Bligh Picnics.

GERRIES’ GOLF

Col and Lionel win social bowls

Cold affects our “older” players

By JOHN EDWARDS, NARROMINE BOWLING CLUB OUR social bowls games held last Thursday involved a total of 14 players taking to the green, with two games of pairs and a game of triples played.

In pairs, Neil and Bruce defeated Col and Lionel in a close encounter, 22-20, while Richard and Duane defeated Robbie and Danny in another close game, 20-19.

In triples, Cliffy, Wilkie, and Cranky soundly defeated Noi, Greg, and Frenchy, 22-12.

The winners for the day were Col and Lionel.

Sunday’s play involved 12 bowlers taking to the greens with Noi, Rossie, and Duane soundly defeating M Brewis, Kano, and (where ya’ been?)

Aaron H, by 20-9.

In the other game, Carl M, Wilkie, and Danny defeated Neil, Cranky, and Dave, 16-12.

The two-team pennants competition commences in mid-July, and a nomination sheet is on the board if you are interested in playing. Teams will be picked this weekend for the fi rst rounds.

We don’t know what section we are in or who we will be playing yet, so stay tuned.

Also keep an eye on the board and watch this column

for the next Trivia Night, and come along and support your local organisation. As usual, our twice-weekly raffles are also a great reason to visit your club.

Joke of the week: Young Billy enters the local barber shop somewhere in rural America and the barber whispers to his customer: “This is the silliest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”

The barber puts a crisp US dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks: “Hey, Billy, which do you want, son?”

The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!”

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees young Billy coming out of the ice cream parlour down the street.

“Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?” the customer asks.

Billy licks his cone and replies: “Because the day I take the dollar bill, the game is over. My name’s Billy, not silly.”

Until next week — have a good week and good bowling.

By NORM LEWIS ONCE again, the extremely cold weather has kept the “older golfers”, the Gerries, away from the course. Last Wednesday, only seven players were on hand for the weekly competition.

Stalwart Ron Green was the winner on the day with a score of 21 points. From memory, I think this is two wins in a row for Ron, so well done. Runner-up was Chris Harding, one point back on 20 points.

Again there was no winner of the Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) but the weekly NAGA prize went to “Boof” Fraser with a score of 13 points.

A disappointing field, but well done to those who braved the conditions.

Next week, the Gerries Comp will be on the front nine at the usual hit-off time.

Vets’ notes LAST Saturday, the monthly Veterans’ nine-hole competition was also played in conjunction with the Monthly Medal Club event.

The Vets’ event was a stroke event on the back nine, contested by a small field of six players. Interesting to note: the Medal round attracted a slightly larger field of 10 players, six of whom were members of the Veterans Club.

Winner on the day was Rob Williams with a score of 34 nett, and the runner-up was Greg Kearines on 34½, winning on a count-back from Steve Squires. “Squizzy” had to be content with the NTP prize on the 10th hole.

The Veterans next nine-hole event will be played on the front nine in late July.

Speaking of coming events, several local Open Tournaments are scheduled to take place soon. Coonamble will hit off this week and, next month, Gulgong and Albert.

Keep these events in mind and support our neighbours.

A reminder to our Veteran members, that our own Open is coming up in early August.

That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th!

His winners at Bligh, Fill A Promise and Joanneski, are both trained at Scone by his mother Nicki Pollock.

Third to the home turn in the 1000 metres Inglis Rural Property Havilah Handicap, Fill A Promise (Arthur Pollock, $1.60 to $1.40 fav.) won by over 6 lengths from Uprise (Emily Harrison, $9) and Break Over (Sebastian Galea, $5).

Second leg of the Pollock double, Joanneski ($3.40) took the lead from Belle O’Ballee turning for home and then held on well to score by over a length from Dragoneight (Sebastian Galea, $4.20) and Never Never Land (Eloise Drews, $5) in the 1000 metres Birkalla Bracelet Collaroy Cup. First season rider Eloise Drews has now ridden three winners after the Krissie Simpkins, Muswellbrook trained Distinctive Glory won the 1400 metres Merotherie Handicap.

Fractious when leaving the mounting yard, Distinctive Glory on the way to the barriers bucked and tried to dislodge the rider.

A promising young jockey, Eloise Drews remained composed and with a very good ride brought Distinctive Glory ($8) with a strong run from back in the field to win by over 2 lengths from Nasty Streak (Todd Bailey, $5) and the $1.70 favourite Nest In The Hills ( Ricky Blewitt) which had taken the lead from Illusive Star approaching the home turn.

Gorillas celebrate sponsors day with two big wins

By TORI HAMILTON LAST Saturday, Narromine Gorillas were able to give back to their major supporters by hosting their 2024 Sponsors Day with local games against Dubbo Rhinos.

In on-field results, Second Grade battled hard in the fi rst-half in a tough game.

However, in the second stanza, the boys persisted and ran away with a 41-15 win.

First Grade was another hard match until the very final moments, with the boys scoring again late and coming away with a 28-15 win.

The Gorillas next head to Parkes for Round Nine this weekend, with the Club hoping to see their supporters on the sidelines at Spicer Park for an early afternoon kick-off !

Junior Gorillas enjoy Coonamble Gala Day

Fun, footy, and friendship! Narromine Junior Gorillas had a great time in Coonamble at its recent gala day.

PHOTOS: NARROMINE JUNIOR GORILLAS.

By PATRICK MCCUTCHEON NARROMINE Junior Gorillas enjoyed a great weekend of rugby across all age groups over recent days.

It all started on Friday night with the “Banana Club” led by Lakeisha Hull and her NSW Rugby development officers.

This involved more than 40 kids participating in skills and drills, enjoying games, and strengthening friendships.

On Sunday, Coonamble hosted a Gala Day for the under-eight, under-10, and under-12 age groups.

Each team played four games across the day against some tough opposition, including sides from Coonamble, Gular, Warren, Walgett, and Bourke.

The highlight of the day was seeing a number of debutants testing their skills and making new friends, including getting Claudia McGuinness, on the try-scorers sheet!

We would like to thank Coonamble and the committee for putting on a wonderful day, and we look forward to heading to Bourke this Sunday.
