WRL Engineering owner/operators Warren and Jane Lefebvre now hold Two of WRL’s patented sheds built at Egelabra a Certified Australian Innovation Patent for their fully sealed grain Merino Stud last year and in 2020. sheds. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.

By HARRIET GILMORE WRL ENGINEERING have officially been certified for their unique fully sealed grain shed design, after an Australian Innovation Patent was issued last week.

The locally owned and operated business, established in 1992, has spent the last two year’s working on the patent application after realising their unique offering was being sought after by other engineers and companies around the country.

Owner Warren Lefebvre said they have designed, manufactured, and installed quality heavy duty

sealed grain sheds on-farm for more than a decade and realised how unique his offering was a few years ago when a company from Melbourne called asking him to manufacture the materials for the shed but then share the design for the Melbourne company to build it.

“It’s a specialised product and we realised if we went down that road, we could end up with a bad name and our reputation damaged. That’s when we knew we had something special,” said Warren.

The patent is recognition WRL are the only company in the country offering

fully sealed grain sheds and gives them protection should anyone try and enter the market with a similar design or offering for at least eight years.

“Our current patent has us covered for eight years in Australia, but we are working on extending that to 20 years and for cover internationally,” said Warren.

The business and design idea started small, offering local farmers a way to store and secure grain on farm. There was a need for the “sideway silos” as Warren puts it, that were fully sealed, so they were protected from weather and

vermin, had fumigation points and specialised oil bath features to maintain pressure.

The business has grown substantially in recent years, with big companies now chasing them and the year fully booked out already.

WRL employs nine fulltime staff in Warren where the sheds are designed and manufactured as well as dozens of contractors in Dubbo. Their team then travels to wherever in the country the shed will be located to build it. Once on site, the up to 50,000 tonne capacity sheds can be completed in four to six weeks.

Bill Robey: an outstanding contributor to the Warren Community Contributed DONALD Wilfred ‘Bill’ Robey passed quietly on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 with his family in attendance. Bill was a loving husband to Joan, father to Bruce, Andrew, Jayne and Stuart and grandfather to his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He will be remembered by many in the Warren community for his dedication, devotion and support to many in the local community.

Bill was born in Fairlight Hospital on August 26, 1930 to parents Donald and Margaret Robey. Bill grew up with his sisters Betty and Jean in Seaforth.

Bill’s fi rst job was as an apprentice fitter and turner with ACI in Sydney and he also attended Sydney Technical College during this time.

Bill arrived in Warren with his new bride Joan in 1955. He soon partnered with his lifelong mate and cousin John Reid to form a welding works business. This was the start of a full and rewarding career path for Bill in Warren.

In 1957 Bill commenced work with the Warren Shire Council and progressed to shop foreman before moving to overseer of works. Bill left the council after 20 years of loyal service.

Bill then formed a partnership with Peter Hutchinson to create Robey and Hutchinson Engineering.

During this time Bill became a councillor and served the shire from 1977 – 1980. He did a second stint with the shire from 1995 – 2012. Bill served

on many and varied council and community committees. His advice and knowledge were outstanding, and he was a well-respected councillor.

Council recognised his service in 2015 by naming one of the new work bays in his honour. Bills’ achievements were further recognised when he was awarded an Outstanding Service Award for 20 years of service in local government.

Bill was a long-time active member of Rotary and was recently awarded the Emeritus Award for Service.

Bill played a large role in the development and running of the community homes, a much-needed facility in Warren. As chair of the Community Homes Committee, Bill also played a big part in the development of Calara House.

A keen sportsman, Bill played golf, tennis, cricket and football and he was immensely proud and passionate about Warren and the local community.

Bill was a much-loved family man, survived by his loving wife, Joan, their four children and their spouses, 12 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren.

He was a highly respected community stalwart and businessman with the highest principles.

To his family and friends Bill always enjoyed a quiet scotch (when Joan wasn’t watching), he was a great bloke, one of natures’ gentlemen. May you rest in eternal peace as you will be sorely missed.

By HARRIET GILMORE THE Warren Shire Library will “Paint the Town REaD” next week with a performance by hit ABC children’s entertainers ‘The Beanies’ for the National Simultaneous Storytime.

National Simultaneous Storytime is an Australia-wide group reading and literacy event, where schools, libraries and other institutions gather school-age children together to read the same chosen picture book at the same time.

Pamela Kelly, manager of the Warren Shire Library said the event aims to encourage and promote literacy for the young in our community.

“We have a fun fi lled morning planned which includes joining with children all over Australia for the National Simultaneous Storytime event at 11am, as well as a performance by The Beanies, which I’m sure will be a great experience for all the children,” said Pamela.

Children from St Mary’s Par-

ish School, Warren Central School, Warren Preschool Kindergarten, Little Possums and Barnardos will be taken to the event and all children in the community are welcome to come along.

Now in its 23rd successful year, the National Simultaneous Storytime is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children’s book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the national curriculum for foundation to year six.

2023’s chosen book is ‘The Speedy Sloth’ by Rebecca Young and Heath McKenzie; a story about a sloth that loves to run around fast!

All children in the community are welcome to come along to this free event.

The library is also asking all local businesses to ‘Paint the Town REaD’ using decorations and posters to be delivered.

FAITH MATTERS! MY dictionary says that faith is a strong and unshakeable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence.

Yes, faith is not something that is visible to the eye. Nor can it be grasped in the hand. Faith is intangible, invisible, what we humans would call ‘blind trust’. This kind of faith is what God asks of us, that we put our trust in Him in all things, no matter how big or small.

Do you have faith in God? Does He have a home in your heart?

Is He your guide in all you say and do? Do you ask Him to show you the way when there are decisions to be made, when you are about to embark on something new, when you are uncertain which way to go? Do you go to Him for comfort and strength when you are troubled, in grief or in pain?

Or is He just a remote being out there in space, someone you vaguely know about, but don’t know personally? Someone that ‘they’ (The churchgoers, the ‘religious’ people, the goodie-goodies’) talk about, but not really anything to do with your life? Is He someone you only think about when things are going wrong, someone to blame for all your problems?

Of course, like all fathers, God does not expect blind faith without any reward for us. If we have faith, if we know God in our hearts, He pours His love out on us, He sustains us through good times and bad. He brings us friends in times of trouble, comfort when we are in pain.

Have you ever noticed that, just when you think there is no answer to whatever it is that troubles you, seemingly out of the blue, something will turn up. God may close one door, but He invariably opens another. All you need to do is have faith. Do you have faith?

Spectacular Warren Chamber Music Festival a huge success

From page 1 A great delight for all involved in the festival was discovering the absolutely superb acoustics of the Warren Museum and Art Gallery in the opening concert of the festival on Friday. Violinist Peter Clark said during his preconcert address he believed the Museum was one of the best acoustic venues in NSW, after hearing the incredible sound during practice earlier in the day.

Many of the 70 plus audience who attended opening night agreed, with Mayor Milton Quigley saying the performance was absolutely incredible.

Local vet Erica Kennedy said she was blown away by the show which sounded amazing in the space, while Val Soulsby

said, “we are so lucky to have someone like Frances putting on such a high calibre performance in our little town.”

Another great highlight of the weekend was local musician turned farmer Nick Evans performing two movements of the Weber Clarinet Quintet in the Collie CWA Hall concert on Saturday. After performing with energy and fi nesse the audience erupted into cheers and deafening clapping. His performance was truly moving and inspiring. We’ve had reports he’s already back to checking sheep and building fences!

Sunday’s performance at the Catholic Church included the world premiere of a new work

by Australian composer Fiona Loader, written specifical-

ly for the SING Warren choir, string septet and piano for the WCMF. Composer Fiona Loader said “this piece was written to tell a story about the incredible grit and determination of the people of central and far west NSW rural areas who have endured so much adversity in recent years, and who have achieved incredible things despite the hardships of drought, floods, dust storms, mouse plagues and storms. The people of this land are truly inspiring, and the love of their own land is deeply touching.”

Artistic director Frances Evan had many thanks to offer when speaking to us on Monday.

“I must express deep thanks to Peter Clark who delivered

two engaging and thoroughly enjoyable pre-concert chats.

Everyone who attended was absorbed in mind, body, and soul!

“I would like to thank committee members Rod Sandell, John Burke, Phil Leman, Marieanne Noonan and Nick Evans for their support and work leading up to, and during the festival. We all contribute in different ways to make a magical weekend possible for our town. A special thanks goes to Audrey and Jeremy Weston, John and Sue Burke, and Sue and Gwere Green for hosting some of our esteemed guests with incredible warmth and generosity. The festival committee worked hard to make the musicians feel at home and welcome in our community.

That certainly occurred. All the musicians expressed their joy in being involved in the festival,” said Frances.

“Lastly, I’d like to thank the community for attending the concerts and showing deep appreciation for the musicians and their outstanding performances, expressed by no less than five standing ovations across the weekend,” said Frances.

The WCMF, in just its second major event, is being recognised as one of the nation’s most unique and intimate rural chamber music festivals.

The committee looks forward to curating the next festival, to be facilitated in 2025.

NSW IS currently transitioning to mandatory individual electronic identification (eID) for sheep and goats. In September 2022, all agricultural ministers in Australia agreed to work towards mandatory implementation of sheep and goat eIDs nation-wide by January 1, 2025.

But many in the industry have questions on how this will be implemented and actioned.

The Central West Local Land Services (CWLLS) is hoping to address many of these concerns at a field day dedicated to eID next week at the Warren Racecourse.

The event will bring together experts, current local users of eID and suppliers of the latest technology and equipment to help producers prepare their properties for future use of eID. “These field days will give sheep producers a chance to hear from experts, talk to local producers who have already begun using eID and see the latest equipment in action, with live on-property demonstrations,” said LLS mixed farming advisor, Matt Jones.

“We encourage anyone who has questions or concerns about the shift to electronic identification to come along and get the answers they are looking for,” said Mr Jones.

The event will feature a range of keynote speakers including Kiowa Fenner, director of sheep and goat traceability from the DPI who will talk about implementation for the mandate.

Sally Martin from Sheep Metrix will offer insights into the practicalities for the commercial breeder of eID data, while Mark Mortimer from Centre Plus Merinos will discuss goal setting and practical uses of the data gathered from eIDs. There will also be an informative producer panel made up of locals who have successfully implemented eID in their businesses.

By HARRIET GILMORE IT was a cracking day for rugby league on Saturday, May 13 when the Warren Bulldogs hosted the Narromine Jets for their fi rst home games of the season.

Although the “mini teams” as they are known, the under sixes and Warren’s two under eights teams, don’t keep score, they were all considered winners on the day. All teams scored plenty of tries, practised their skills and continued to build on their knowledge of the game.

For many of the under sixes this was only their second or third game but that didn’t deter them from having plenty of fun, cheered on by the large contingent of spectators and parents on the sideline.

The U10s team went into their match against Narromine with one win and one loss under their belt for the season.

They had a cracking game, scoring eight tries and converting five goals in their 42-6 win. Tries went to Louis Welsh, James Steele, Chlex Deguit, Hugh McCormack, Harlem Ward and Charlie Matthews.

The U12s had a much tighter game, but still came away with the win, defeating the Jets 38-22. Jack Walker scored three of the team’s seven tries, with Chlice Deguit and George Welsh also crossing the line.

The Bulldogs will host South Dubbo at home again this weekend.

Political News & Opinion Far West students visit Canberra

COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP

THE federal Labor budget released on Tuesday, May 10, has confi rmed my fears that the Labor government has taken regional Australia and working Australians absolutely for granted.

I HAD some fabulous visitors at Parliament House last Wednesday morning. A student group, all the way from the Broken Hill School Of The Air, as well as Tibooburra and White Cliffs, joined me to learn more about our government.

These students were so curious and asked many questions – they are a tribute to their teachers and parents. I shared with them part of my story, which started in farming, and made the point to them that they too, could one day be a member of parliament – the future is theirs!

Labor has again demonstrated that they are quite willing to spend money taken out of regional Australia, but they aren’t willing to put it back in.

Budget 2023–24 released

LAST Wednesday afternoon,

ROY’S OY’S ROUND-UP OUND-UP Comment mment by Y BUTLER, ROY State te Member for Barwon

G’day folks,

STATE parliament is fi nally sitting again, and the new government is getting down to business.

There have already been some significant pieces of legislation proposed, with the government eager to fulfi ll its election promises relating to such things as amending the constitution to prevent privatisation of water.

But the fi rst week of a new parliament and a new government, is always a period of ceremony and adjustment.

Some of my time has been spent settling into a new office space, which is shared with Phil Donato, the member for Orange. So far it, has proven to be a much better base of operations in parliament.

This week, I will be accompanying the health minister around various parts of the electorate, before returning to parliament for consecutive sitting weeks.

Meeting with minister park I HAD a meeting last week with the new health minister, Ryan Park, about the situation at Nyngan and Wee Waa hospitals. He gave me his per-

sonal assurance, that the Government has no intention of closing either hospital, and that they will work on solutions to staffing problems.

In a media statement issued last night, the minister said: “The NSW Government has no intention of closing the health services at Nyngan and Wee Waa.” “We are working closely with Western and Hunter New England Local Health Districts, to ensure these services continue to provide safe and reliable care that meets the community’s needs.

“Due to staffing challenges, services have had to be temporarily reduced at Wee Waa and Nyngan to ensure the well-being of staff and the continuation of safe care to the community,” he said.

“The intention, is for these services to be restored to normal operations and the districts are working hard to recruit staff to ensure this occurs,” he added.

“While these local health districts continue to actively recruit to fi ll existing vacancies, they’re also working hard to redeploy nursing staff from other areas and engage agencies to cover any gaps in the rosters,” he concluded.

The minister will be heading out to visit some medical centres across Barwon this week.

Parliament resumes AFTER a long break since parliament rose in December last year, it’s back on again! I have been sworn in for my second term in the 58th NSW Parliament. The opening session of

parliament was a long day that consisted of official photos, swearing an oath of loyalty to Australia and to the people of NSW, a smoking ceremony, and a lot of ritual that owes its origin to many centuries of parliamentary tradition.

A significant part of the fi rst week was taken up by maiden speeches, the election of the speakers, congratulations for The King’s Coronation, and the new government and opposition settling into their new roles.

It is an honour to be serving the people of Barwon and NSW again. I look forward to getting even more done in this term.

Regional health committee LAST week in parliament, Dr Joe McGirr MP for Wagga moved a notice of motion asking for the establishment of a ‘Legislative Assembly Select Committee on Rural, Regional and Remote Health Outcomes’.

The government acted quickly, and the committee was established last Thursday, with Dr McGirr as its chair. The purpose of the committee is to see that the recommendations of last year’s regional health inquiry are carried out.

I want to thank the member for Wagga for his engagement on regional health issues in pushing for the lower house committee. I will continue to work with Joe, and look forward to bringing him out west into Barwon to see fi rst-hand the situation in so many of our health facilities.

Society of Australia, expresses concerns

NATIONAL president of the Pharmaceutical Society of

Tibooburra airstrip upgrade THE NSW Government is investing $200,000 to repair and regrade Tibooburra’s dirt runway.

This upgrade ensures the Aerodrome complies with Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requirements, and can safely operate in a range of weather conditions, ensuring remote communities have better access to air emergency services, and the ability to take-off and land private aircraft in more-challenging conditions.

Young Offenders Act IN the fi rst week of May, I attended an event at Sydney University Law School called “Reflecting on 25 Years of the Young Offenders Act of 1997”.

It was interesting to hear how the Act came about, from some of the people who helped develop it and advocate for it in parliament a quarter of a century ago, and how juvenile justice was changed as a result.

I also had a discussion with some of the legal minds who were there about some of the failures of the act in Barwon, and other areas of the state, and some of the ways forward.

Resourcing for youth justice and youth programs has not been applied well and, particularly in Barwon, there is a lack of referral options for young offenders. Youth crime is something common to many towns across the country, which is why it is important to spend the effort reviewing, reforming, and repairing our youth justice system.

Australia (PSA) Dr Fei Sim, met me in Canberra last week to raise concerns around recent changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) to allow 60-day dispensing of medications.

The PSA is the only national peak body representing all of Australia’s 35,000 pharmacists, working across all sectors and locations, including in our towns and hospitals.

Some of their concerns regarding this change include: the viability of many pharmacies; medicine shortages; wastage of medications: and medicine misadventure.

We discussed risks posed to our elderly, who may be more likely to experience confusion around daily dosages when they have access to twice as much medication.

I continue to have concerns around the potentially-negative impacts of this change in the electorate of Parkes.

I will be advocating in parliament for a review of the act and ways that we can improve the act and the way it is applied in regional areas.

Canberra trip I VISITED Canberra in the fi rst week of May, where I had a productive meeting with senator David Pocock. We spoke about the failure in successive governments’ policies around gas. We have plenty of conventional gas in Australia, we just export too-much of it at very low prices making energy (gas) more expensive for people in Australia.

We discussed the need for a domestic gas reservation policy, and a public interest test on exports. These changes would negate the need for risky gas projects that could damage ground water and would lower gas prices.

Before leaving Canberra, I went to the National Press Club of Australia, to listen to three leading economists give their thoughts on the federal budget and what we could expect from it.

I had some interesting conversations about government policy in regional Australia and talked to Danielle Wood, CEO of the Grattan Institute, one of the economists who spoke that day and who said she was keen to travel into Barwon.

I welcome any visit from people interested in the electorate, particularly someone who is an expert in their field, because it can only help to broaden and deepen their knowledge of regional NSW.

Federal budget wrap up – impact on our country communities

By DAVID DIXON

Jobseeker increases, climate change, Medicare subsidies, and ‘The Voice’ FEDERAL Labor’s fi rst fullyear budget, with the theme of ‘Stronger Foundations for a Better Future’, has sought to reduce cost-of-living pressures on families.

Using a once in 15-year surplus, treasurer Jim Chalmers, said that the budget is designed to assist Australians who are “under the pump” with assistance that includes: f Cost of living initiatives such as energy bill relief of up to $500 for households and $650 for small businesses; f Huge investment in Medicare, which will see the government spending $3.5 billion over five years to make it easier and cheaper to see a doctor tripling the bulk-billing incentive for common consultations with children under the age of 16, pensioners, and other commonwealth concession card-holders; f A $40-a-fortnight raise in JobSeeker and a 15 per cent boost to the maximum rate of rent assistance; f On the environment, a further $4 billion in Australia’s plan to become a “renewable energy superpower” to “unlock $10 billion in new investment in fi rmed renewable generation and storage by funding

the Capacity Investment Scheme’s initial auctions”; f Establishing Australia’s fi rst National Electric Vehicle Strategy to encourage takeup of electric vehicles and encourage greater use of cleaner, cheaper-to-run vehicles; f More than $1 billion in additional funding for biosecurity measures to protect Australia from invasive pests and diseases; f $15 billion to the National Reconstruction Fund to contribute to our transition to “net zero” carbon emissions through loans, guarantees, and equity investments to the private sector; f Implementing the Defence Strategic Review to set the agenda for reforms to the Australian Defence Force’s posture and structure; f Funding 300,000 more TAFE and vocational education training places to become fee-free with targeted support for apprentices; f Developing a Migration Strategy and boosting skilled migration; f A pay rise for aged care workers with an interim increase of 15 per cent to modern award minimum wages for many aged care workers; f Reforming the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) to better provide life-changing outcomes for people with disability; f Aligning the payment of superannuation and wages for all employees, so that employ-

ers will be required to pay their employees’ super at the same time they pay their wages. This will enable employees to track their entitlements to ensure they are being paid on time and in full; f Reducing the prevalence of vaping and smoking with stronger regulation and enforcement of e-cigarettes, including new controls on their importation, contents and packaging. and raising the tax on tobacco by five per cent each year for three years from September 1, and ensuring that loose-leaf tobacco is taxed equally to cigarettes; f Implementing the Uluru Statement with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice Referendum to attempt to instal a mandatory Indigenous “Voice” to parliament in our constitution.

Farmers’ concern – battered roads and reduced write-offs REDUCED asset write-offs and lack of infrastructure spending for country roads in the federal budget will impact our rural communities, national and state farmer groups have said.

Peak bodies representing famers and transporters, have raised concerns about the lack of sufficient additional funding in the Federal Budget to address the perilous state of flood impacted rural roads.

GrainGrowers, National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) and Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association (ALRTA) called for an emergency funding package of nearly $5.5 billion, a call the government answered with just $250 million in new funding.

“Given the scale of the damage facing regional Australia, the road funding announced last night was a drop in the ocean in terms of what’s needed,” NFF CEO, Tony Mahar, said.

“While we appreciate the financial constraints facing the government, the current state of the roads is driving up inflation and putting regional drivers at risk,” GrainGrowers chair Rhys Turton added.

One of the key concerns for the groups was the lack of additional funding for the Roads to Recovery program which supports the construction and maintenance of the nation’s local road infrastructure assets, representing 87 per cent of the

Reduced asset write-offs and lack of infrastructure spending for country roads in the Federal budget will impact our rural communities, farmer groups have said. nation’s road network.

Mathew Munro said.

With the 90-day review into the Infrastructure Investment Program underway, the organisations reiterated the importance of regional infrastructure.

“Rural roads must not be left behind in Australia’s $120 billion infrastructure investment pipeline,” added Mr Turton.

“We invite those making budget decisions in Canberra to come and drive these roads so they can see just what state they’re in,” concluded Mr Mahar.

Meanwhile, the state’s peak agricultural advocacy organisation, joined other industry groups in calling for a “common sense extension” to the Instant Asset Write-Off because of supply chain delays.

“Farmers and other businesses have placed orders for machinery or other equipment under the assumption they could use this scheme, only to fi nd supply delays will make them ineligible,” Justin Everitt from NSW Farmers, said.

“This will leave them thousands of dollars out of pocket at the worst possible time for business with soaring inflation and costs.

“The right and fair thing to do would be for the government to take these supply delays into account and allow businesses to claim the Instant Asset Write Off regardless of when they take delivery.”

Under the changes announced by treasurer Jim Chalmers, the Instant Asset Write Off will end on June 30, meaning anyone who has not taken delivery of an order – regardless of when the order was placed or paid for – would have to depreciate the asset over many years. Some farmers had ordered expensive equipment such as tractors more than a year ago, Mr Everitt said, and were still waiting to take delivery. “This decision will leave farmers out of pocket if the government doesn’t do the right thing,” Mr Everitt said.

“We’ve got this absurd situation where someone has paid for a tractor, but because the dealers can’t get it to them by June 30, the farmer will be left

fi nancially much worse-off,” Everitt said.

“It’s not fair and if it’s not changed, we’ll see a lot more unnecessary pressure on a lot of businesses,” he concluded.

Biosecurity boost from producer levy a “new fresh food tax”, Nats WITH increased danger of exotic diseases such as footand-mouth and following the recent varroa mite outbreak at Port Newcastle, new biosecurity measures were a central component of the federal budget.

While supporting the increased focus and spending, critics have labelled additional biosecurity levies on our producers tagged in the Budget as a: ”new fresh food tax on farmers”.

Federal Nationals’ leader, David Littleproud, said the new tax will force farmers to pay for the biosecurity risk of their international competitors.

“Labor’s budget measure is a new tax on farmers and food, meaning farmers will have to pass it onto consumers, resulting in higher grocery prices at the check-out,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Why would any Australian government tax their own farmers, to pay for foreigners to bring their products into this country?” he said.

The new tax to pay for the $845 million budget boost in spending on measures aimed at keeping-out pests and diseases, has also been criticised

by National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) president, Fiona Simson. “We know that Australians are feeling the pinch of their weekly shop,” she said.

“This budget ignores practical solutions that could have provided a double whammy of price relief for households and a stronger, more vibrant agriculture sector,” she added.

The government though has said the “modest” biosecurity levy would only apply to farmers, fishers, and the forestry industry, as a way of funding a broader biosecurity import

levy consistent with our international trade law obligations.

“We are locking-in higher and more certain biosecurity funding, along with a fair system to pay for it that shares the cost equitably between taxpayers, importers, parcel senders, international travellers and producers,” federal agriculture minister, Murray Watt, has said. The government will also use an increase to the Passenger Movement Charge to contribute to the cost of beefed-up biosecurity measures and will expand cost-recovery to include the biosecurity clearance of parcels and non-letter mail.

Importers will also face increased fees and charges that are expected to take their total contribution to biosecurity costs to almost $350 million in 2024.

The biosecurity levy on farmers, fishers and foresters is expected to raise $153 million over the three years from July 1, 2024, through a bill equivalent to 10 per cent of their industry-led agricultural levies.

Funding boost to doctor’s visits to support bulk-billing KEEPING-UP bulk billing rates for doctor visits, was the focus of a major $5.7 billion funding boost in the federal budget, with support from Australia’s largest non-government provider grouping of health, aged, and community care services.

The new money will triple the bulk billing incentive and encourage bulk-billing for vulnerable populations, Catholic Health Australia has said.

This investment, and other changes subsidising lengthier consultations, would encourage high-quality care for patients with complex needs through longer GP consultations, CHA’s director of health policy, Caitlin O’Dea, said.

“This much needed boost to Medicare funding and primary care will directly benefit the most vulnerable patients in our communities including the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, and people with dis-

abilities,” Ms O’Dea said.

“The extended GP consultations will allow for more comprehensive and personalised care, improving health outcomes for patients with complex needs.”

The Australian government has also allocated $445.1m over five years to bolster the Workforce Incentive Program–Practice Stream, supporting practices in expanding multi-disciplinary teams

and employing more health professionals.

“This funding boost not only benefits patients, it also supports GPs and other healthcare professionals by offering them more resources to provide high-quality care,” Ms O’Dea said.

We are confident this change will contribute to a more sustainable and effective healthcare system in Australia.

“We look forward to working closely with the Australian government to further enhance primary care services, ensuring better care for patients and a stronger healthcare system for all,” Ms O’Dea concluded.

Vaping ban to impact millions of users, with high compliance costs ONE of the most contentious policy announcements in the federal budget, is a future ban on the smoking-replacement use of “vaping” – use of an electronic device that simulates tobacco smoking with an atomiser, a battery, and a small tank, from which the user inhales nicotine-imbued vapour.

Almost a quarter of a billion dollars however, has now been tagged to stamp-out recreational vaping, so as to not create a new generation of nicotine addicts, including smokers.

The measures, which will target packaging, importation, availability and contents, will seek to limit vaping to only that prescribed for “legitimate therapeutic use”.

With a surge of vaping in the

young, especially schoolchildren, health minister, Mark Butler, has said that vapes were originally sold as a therapeutic product to help people quit smoking, not as a recreational product that targeted the young.

However, critics say that forcing vapers to obtain regular doctors prescriptions for their recreational practice, will add hundreds of millions of dollars to our Medicare bills, at a time of a nationwide GP shortage.

Smoking reduction campaigner, Dr Colin Mendelsohn, has said instead that a licensing system, as used in countries like the United Kingdom and New Zealand, is a better approach.

“This would form a consumer model with licensed retail outlets selling vapes to adult smokers, and with severe penalties and loss of licence for sales to children.

“This model has worked successfully in every other western country and has helped to substantially reduce smoking rates while effectively minimising access by young people,” he said.

Convincing wins for Pumas and Pumarettes in Cobar

By HARRY GAYNOR THE Pumas and Pumarettes travelled over to Cobar on Saturday to battle out in round three of the competition, both looking to build upon solid performances last weekend.

The Pumarettes showed up with the disadvantage of no interchange reserves, but that didn’t phase their determination.

The Cobar side had a solid numbers base and opened the scoring for the game. However, the Pumarettes fi red back quickly when Abbey Standing went over the line.

Although Cobar replied with

a quick second try, team captain Kaitlin Staniforth and Allison Ruskin-Rowe led the charge with a barrage of quick plays. By the end of the fi rst half, Staniforth had scored and Natalie Walters stole two tries in open wing space.

Consistent set completion and defense in the second half forced numerous mistakes from Cobar, allowing Staniforth to also score two more runaway tries. The ladies won the game convincingly 30-10.

Three points went to Natalie Walters, two points to Abby Standing and one point to Allison Ruskin-Rowe.

The Pumas took to the field

fi red up from the convincing win over Bourke, and spurred another terrific showing of depth and youth on the bench.

Cobar turned up with a much bigger pack, and their assertive strength paid dividends when they scored in the corner for fi rst points.

Yet Warren once again hit back straight away, when the youngest and arguably most handsome of the McLean brothers, Stuart, forced his way over the line.

This set the scene for a window of champagne rugby from the Pumas, with the ball going hot-potato through nearly the whole team to gift speed-

Joey Walker’s winning streak continues

ster Thomas Bruce a try that would make a grown man cry.

The arrival of rain soon made the economy grip on the match-ball become even more leather-like. Momentum was building when lock-forward Harry Goddard found some space for a try.

Then the Pumas inside-centre was harshly sent to the bin for 10 with some questionable diving from the Camels involved, allowing them to score a try just before the break.

With the rain continuing to drizzle into the second half, numerous handling mistakes were seen from both sides.

Yet the determination of the

forward pack allowed Warren to gain a much better field position, allowing Stuart McLean to cross over for another two tries.

The Pumas ran away winners 29-10. Stuart McLean gained three points, Harry Goddard two points, and one point shared with Ben Grant and Oscar Nuthall.

Both teams are looking forward to their biggest game of the fi rst round this weekend when they host Walgett at Victoria Oval for Ladies Day.

Primary Students of the Week.

Students Jack Reid, Ryan Stanley, Bella Gough, Maddie Marks and Sophie Robinson attended the Hospitality Experience in Accommodation and Tourism (Heat) Camp in Dubbo last week.

OVER the holidays and into this term, we have had a number of playground upgrades.

Our area in the middle of the primary classrooms has been totally resurfaced with crushed granite and synthetic turf, ensuring a clean and fresh surrounding for our staff and students.

On the crushed granite area, we have installed an additional four raised garden beds and have already sown cauliflowers, cabbages, snow peas, celery, garlic, and broccoli.

One of our garden beds has become a dedicated sensory garden with herbs such as mint, lemongrass, thyme and oregano. Our plan for our veggie garden is to provide our students with an additional playground activity during break times and deliver lessons on growing our own food.

We have also mulched all

our garden beds with bark chips and are in the process of planting hardy plants to brighten and soften our space.

PBL values pencils have been installed to constantly remind our students to be respectful, responsible learners in a bright and eye-catching way.

Our next big project is to put in a ‘Primary School Orchard’ to grow our own fruit for snacks and fruit breaks.

We have applied for, and received a grant from western area health for this, with our planning soon to commence.

“Shamika’s art immediately caught the eye of the judges,” stated Tracy Wordin, senior project officer DCJ, Housing Statewide Services. Dubbo district was one of nine across NSW which held an art competition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school students.

We would like to honour Allison Fuller as Shamika’s inspiration for her art. Shamika sketched a portrait of Allison in 2021 as a gift for Mrs Irving.

When the theme of the competition was revealed, we decided to ask permission from Al-

lison’s family if Shamika could use the portrait as an integral part of her overall artwork.

Mr Mackay supported Shamika in the process and called Allison’s family. We are grateful for Allison’s family for giving Shamika permission to enter Allison’s sketched portrait in the competition.

The DCJ was looking for art which captured and communicated an understanding of the journeys of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for Sorry Business, season change, kinship support, funerals and family support where family, community, and culture can meet, share, connect, or rejoice. DCJ was looking at how these travels and journeys impact on a person’s housing.

By HARRIET GILMORE THE Warren Youth Foundation and Support Group have kicked off a free 10-week sports program focussing on physical and mental health for the community. Working with sportspeople from all different backgrounds, the program aims to help the youth of Warren to recover, build resilience, strengthen community networks, build social opportunities and improve mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Kelly Sinclair, executive officer for the Warren Youth Foundation and Support

Group said “over the past few years, the youth of Warren have lived through one of the worst droughts on record, seen a pandemic and last year dealt with floods. It’s all too much for young minds to handle without some form of release and we believe that the best way to do this is through sports, mentoring and life skills building.

“Sports programs for teenagers in Warren are near non-existent, with travelling hundreds of kilometres every week the only option, and with Warren in the bottom third percentile of socio-economic indexes, a great deal of

The program hopes to tackle stigmas associated with mental health, deliver mentoring and support and highlight the importance of health and wellbeing, while providing a positive environment for sports participation.

Each session will focus on one mental health or wellbeing topic, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, personal hygiene, nutrition and the effects sexuali-

ty has on our mental health.

Participants at the two and a half hour sessions have the opportunity to get fit, play a range of different sports, such as netball, football, cricket, volleyball, soccer, dancing and basketball, and learn positive behaviours from role models in the community.

The Warren Youth Foundation and Support Group will also provide a barbecue at the end of each session. Kelly said “there is also a fantastic sports pack valued at $450 for each youth who participates in more than 75 percent of the program, and our fi nal session will be a trip to Dubbo for

paintball”.

“It will be one big fun day to fi nish off a hopefully very rewarding and worthwhile free program for the youth of our community.”

The Warren Youth Foundation and Support Group was founded in 2014 by local farmer Tony McAlary with the idea of getting disengaged youth upskilled and work-ready.

Kelly said programs like the Get Fit, Get Strong, Free Your Mind program not only help the youth who participate but the whole community in which they reside by reducing crime rates, relieving poverty and providing facilities.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES WINNER of the recent Bathurst Soldiers Saddle and then an abject failure when near last in the Mudgee Gooree Cup, Osman was back in best form on Sunday to win the $36,000 Parkes Services Club Parkes Cup. Taken to the early lead in the 1600 metres Cup by Kody Nestor, the Mack Griffith, Mudgee trained Osman ($2.50 favourite) was not seriously threatened in an emphatic three lengths win over Kipta-

nui (Nick Heywood, $4.20) and Sea Of Flames (Kath Bell-Pitomac, $15).

First leg of a double for Kody Nestor was the Connie Greig, Dubbo trained Hemsted in the 1300 metres Coachman Hotel Punters Club Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Reaching the lead from midfield, Hemsted ($26) won by a neck from the fast fi nishing Starlink (Wendy Peel, $6) with Planet Ex (Serg Lisnyy, $14) a handy third.

Winner of the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final last year, Hemsted is owned by leading picnic jockey Leandro Ribeiro from Sydney and Tom Presits from Sweden.

Peter Nestor, the uncle of Kody Nestor, is back as a trainer after a break of several years and has won two races in succession with speedy

mare Loving Angel.

Clayton Gallagher was in the saddle again when Loving Angel after a five lengths win at Wellington went straight to the lead at Parkes and and justified the $2.05 favourite price when cruising home by over three lengths from East Harlem (Nick Heywood, $4.40) and Benyatta (Ken Dunbar, $16) in the 1000 metres Hankook Tyres BM 58 Handicap.

Nick Heywood may have missed out in the Cup when second on Kiptanui however he was all class when winning four races at the meeting including the feature sprint, the 1200 metres Telescope Tyres and Batteries Satellite Handicap on Invincible Dash for Queanbeyan trainer Nick Olive.

Forbes Jockey Club president Randall Grayson shares

ownership of Invincible Dash with associates and friends from the Stock And Station and livestock industries.

Taking career prizemoney earnings to over $200,000, Invincible Dash (Nick Heywood, $13) burst through a late gap to gain a four way photo fi nish decision over Kateru (Shayleigh Ingelse, $17), Lady Shenanigans (Serg Lisnyy, $3.30) and Patrick May. A recent addition to the Daniel Stanley stable at Wellington, former Victorian galloper Strategic Charge won the 1400 metres Parkes Farm Centre Maiden Plate in good style.

Parked behind the leaders

by Nick Heywood, Strategic Charge ($8) joined in quickly and won by over two lengths from the strong fi nishing Raiding (Ronald Simpson, $13) and Lumin (Clayton Gallagh-

er, $2.80 fav.)

The other winners for Nick Heywood were the Dean Mirfi n, Bathurst trained Ida’s Rules, $1.24 fav) in the 1000 metres D’Aquinos Maiden Handicap and Hello Jack ($2 to $1.85 fav.) trained at Goulburn by Scott Collings, in the 1200 metres Bob Skinner Painting and Decorating Class Two Plate.

Backing up from beating a big field at Dubbo, the Roy McCabe, Bathurst trained Our Orator was again impressive when winning the 1600 metres McPhersons Parts and Services Class Two Handicap at Parkes.

Well ridden by Tony Cavallo, Our Orator ($5.50 to $11) from near the tail of the field swept to a two and a quarter lengths win over Charlotting (Kody Nestor, $21) and Neidr Dawn (Andrew Banks, $9).

The Dirty Birdie

Michelle Ensor with participants of the umpiring course over the weekend.
