Frustrations laid bare at badly advertised Murray Darling Basin Plan forum

By HARRIET GILMORE THE federal government’s Productivity Commission hosted a community forum in Warren on Wednesday, July 19, giving local farmers, community groups and council the opportunity to share their sustained and unanimous frustrations with bureaucracy surrounding the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

The plan was created in 2012 to manage the share of and improve the health of the basin’s water, and in doing so continue to support agriculture, other industries and the environment for the benefit of the Australian community. The basin plan sets the amount of water that can be taken from the basin each year, while leaving enough for rivers, lakes and wetlands that plants and animals depend on.

The plan is due for review in 2026, with the Productivity Commission required to undertake an inquiry every five years into the effectiveness of the implementation of the plan and water resource plans.

The forum in Warren was one of 18 held in towns around the basin, with associate commissioner and host of the event Chris Guest confi rming the sentiment of frustration was widespread.

Warraan Widji Arts, wow in Coonamble

By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN’S very-own First Nations performing arts group — the Warraan Widji Arts Choir and Dreaming Drifters Band — starred at a major local cultural event recently.

The group were invited to perform in Coonamble last week at the opening of Outback Art’s new exhibition For Our Elders — It’s In Our Hands; the fi rst time this incredible group of talented children have played outside of Warren.

Warraan Widji Arts Committee Member, Phyllis Oates, was extremely proud to be invited to take the talented Warren youth to the opening and expressed gratitude at the opportunity. “Thank-you Outback Arts, for giving our children the opportunity to share Wayilwan language, they loved it!” Ms Oates said.

“Well done everyone! A special thank you to Aunty Beth Wright for your continued support for the sustainability of Wayilwan language revival in Warren, and to WWA volunteers, who tutor Wayilwan language to our youth,” she added.

As part of the launch, Zoey Daley delivered the Acknowledgement of Country in the Wayilwan language to Wayilwan and Gamilaraay Country and Elders at the exhibition opening.

Frustrations laid bare at badly advertised Murray Darling Basin Plan forum

Associate commissioner Chris Guest from the Glenn Whittaker, associate commissioner Chris Guest, Warren Shire Council’s mayor Milton Quigley and general Productivity Commission led a forum in Warren last manager Gary Woodman, Gary Hall from the Macquarie Marshes Environmental Landholders Association, and week on the Murray Darling Basin Plan. PHOTOS: WARREN STAR. Cr Greg Whitely at the Productivity Commission’s forum on the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

From page 1 Mr Guest from the Productivity Commission, said his inquiry and the Basin Plan Review will be focused on climate change, sustainable water limits, First Nations, and regulatory design.

With virtually no advertising for the public event, only nine interested stakeholders attended, but the small group had ample opportunity in the 90-minute sessions to discuss their views.

One local farmer shared their frustration with the lack of outcomes after countless meetings, submissions and forums just like the one Wednesday.

“We all have bureaucracy fatigue! There are no clear outcomes. One state department says this, another says that, and round and round we go.”

Mr Guest from the Productivity Commission said he recognised the frustration and thanked all attendees for coming to yet another discussion, but said he felt the commission had the opportunity to make a real impact in the next 10-year plan for the basin.

“We are an advisory group and thanks to these forums and submissions from interested parties, we can hear the

ideas for moving forward and making change and use this information to make some concrete and deliverable recommendations. Things may have gone off track but we have the opportunity to right some wrongs,” said Mr Guest.

All in attendance at the forum agreed water management and water planning policies are intensely political.

Water ‘buybacks’ continue to be an issue with many local farmers and the wider basin communities, especially when some argue the poor management of environmental water allocations in the area in the past.

A significant release of environmental water from Burrendong Dam in the months leading up to the drought a few years ago was still a sore point for many at the meeting. Farmers were then forced to relinquish some of their allocations, in what was described at the meeting as “bad management” of environmental allocations.

Grants from the Murray Darling Basin Fund were also raised. Warren Shire Counil’s general manager Gary Woodman said studies showed a loss of $70-$90 million per year of economic value from lost water allocations brought back by the government. However

returns from the Murray Darling Basin Fund have only totalled about $4 million for the Warren shire, and that funding was now complete.

The buybacks push more water into the environment and ensure natural wonders like the Macquarie Marshes continue to thrive. But Mr Woodman argued if we don’t have the funding to help showcase the region and keep roads up to scratch into the marshes and grow the tourism industry, the community won’t be able to cover the economic losses to the agricultural industry, so continued fi nancial support from the basin was required.

Climate change is a key factor in the review of the plan, with a key understanding predicting less water inflows in the Basin and more frequent severe events, such as extreme flooding and extreme drought.

Mayor Milton Quigley and general manager Gary Woodman suggested that better management of f lood waters and increasing the levels at Burrendong Dam, were ways to plan and manage drought mitigation.

Burrendong Dam has extra capacity for flood mitigation, with Warren shire suggesting the ‘full’ level be increased with extra water

stored at Burrendong after flood events like last year, instead of being released.

However not everyone agreed, with Gary Hall from the Macquarie Marshes Environmental Landholders Association saying council was “ill informed” and their claim that raising capacity will improve water security for the community was “rubbish”.

One thing all could agree on however, was the need for more community engagement on decision making.

The basin plan currently operates from a ‘top down approach’ with decisions made by experts who may not always know the real impact it will have on local communities. So, it was suggested perhaps the plan could adopt a more ‘bottom up’ plan of management, utilising local knowledge and expertise in decision making.

The question remained however, of how to make a design system like that to work, without getting too complicated.

At the conclusion of the forum, Mr Guest from the Productivity Commission said “he valued the contributions people make by engaging with the forums, with particular interest today learning of recent experience in the Macquarie River catchment and

ideas about future planning and management”.

Mayor Milton Quigley said he was pleased to have welcomed Mr Guest and the commission to Warren, and although there was not a large group at the forum, the breadth of backgrounds and experience of the stakeholders in attendance allowed for many great discussions.

A representative from the Inspector-General of Water Compliance also attended the event to hear what the Warren community had to say.

The Hon Troy Grant, Inspector-General of Water Compliance, provided a statement to the Warren Star after the meeting, stating he was concerned with transparency of the basin plan’s expenditure and he would be making a direct submission to the Productivity Commission’s five-year review of the basin plan implementation.

This submission will focus on a number of areas, including the transparency of the allocation and spending of Australian taxpayer money on basin plan reform funding, after $13 billion of taxpayers money has been spent on basin funding.

Fundraising key to keeping Medical Centre in town

By HARRIET GILMORE THE Warren Health Action Committee (WHAC) say fundraising is key to keeping vital medical services in town. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) took over the management of Warren’s medical centre at the beginning of the year after Rural and Remote Medical Service (RaRMS) planned to withdraw. It was the fi rst time the RFDS had taken on a pre-existing practice (together with Gilgandra Medical Centre).

The RFDS relies on donations and fundraising to fund around one-third of its essential healthcare, which is why the WHAC is planning an event at the newly-repaired Nevertire Hall in September.

Rod Sandell from the WHAC said supporting the RFDS was critical if we wanted to keep a medical centre in town.

“We originally started the WHAC when we were having issues securing accommodation for doctors in town. But when we were staring down the barrel of no medical services at all in town we knew we needed to swing into action.”

The WHAC and Warren Shire Council worked tirelessly to ensure the town’s only medical centre wouldn’t close, working closely with the RFDS to take over.

“Without the RFDS, who knows if another provider would have been found. So, it’s critical for us as a whole

Chris Letton and Rebecca Glover from RFDS Warren Medical Centre with Rod Sandell (middle) from the Warren Health Action Committee. PHOTO: WARREN STAR. community to continue to support and fundraise for the organisation, or we could end up back in that situation again” said Mr Sandell.

Practice manager of the RFDS Warren Medical Centre Rebecca Glover said the fundraising event couldn’t come at a better time.

“We are currently looking for another full-time doctor, and relying on locums in the interim. The costs associated with funding locums is huge so, the support of

fundraising activities by the WHAC and the Warren community will help us cover some of these costs and continue to offer this vital service to the community.”

Planning for the fundraising evening is well underway, with Mr Sandell saying it should be a fantastic evening for all.

“There will be fabulous food

by Emma Robinson and Warren Central School students for dinner plus Gunningbar Creek Fishing Club’s famous camp ovens. A bar is being

provided by Warren Pumas Rugby Union Club and Nevertire Hotel.

“To keep us all entertained, music will be provided by Greg Storer and family, Frances and Nick Evans and the SING Warren choir.

“Come along, meet up with friends and have a fun, social evening,” Mr Sandell added.

The purpose of the evening is to support Warren’s RFDS Medical Centre and the Nevertire Hall Trust. The trust hopes to complete some extra

work after the significant damage caused by the Nevertire windstorm in 2021. Major repairs have been completed and the event will be only the second event to be hosted in the beautifully refurbished hall.

The main charity event will be an auction for RFDS Medical Centre.

“We already have some great auction items from sponsors and hope to attract more sponsorships,” said Mr Sandell.

“As chair of Warren Health Action Committee, I am very aware of the tireless dedication and commitment given by staff at Warren RFDS Medical Centre and senior staff from RFDS to continually improve resources and to make Warren medical practice a viable business so it may continue to serve the needs of our community.

“A big thank you to all of the generous sponsors who have already come onboard to support the event and donate auction items including gold sponsor Jack Ryan from Western Farm Machinery and Nutrien Ag Solutions.

“We need your support for the evening as without good medical services our community will fail to thrive. RFSD is a wonderful charity working tirelessly to better our lives.

Please mark the date on your calendar for a great evening,” said Mr Sandell.

A lot about the word Peace; in the Bible!

By ALEX BROOKER “PEACE” is an extremely popular word, and mentioned by people in many ways.

Almost 99.9 per cent of the time when we think about peace, it is to do with the end of hostilities and the need to reconcile and be “at peace” or “make peace”; and when warring countries sign a treaty to show they are, “at peace”. Another way to use “peace”, is when friends who have been quarrelling make-up; and are at peace with one another.

Peace in the Bible is a little bit different in defi nition to just the absence of confl ict or the state of rest. It can mean a completeness and wholeness that comes from knowing and loving God and having Jesus in your heart.

In the Old and New Testament of the Bible, the word “peace” appears 329 times.

But let us have a look at the diverse ways that peace is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible, and it can be found to be

used at least five distinct ways. f Peace; as in the absence of war or chaos. f Peace; as in having a right relationship with God or Christ. f Peace; being a good relationship among people. f Peace; like the mood that is often tranquillity or serenity. f Peace; as part of a greeting for example, “Grace and Peace to you”.

The peace of God is quite different to the peace of the world. Biblical peace, is much more than no war or confl ict. It is taking positive steps to restore a broken situation. In addition, peace is more than the mental state of inner tranquillity. Wholeness and completeness are not something we can create; it is something given to us by God; as he is the source of peace. Peace is a fruit of the Spirit.

Find a Bible and look to fi nd a few of the 329 ways peace is mentioned and try and apply some of the diverse ways peace is used in your life.

Order your wonderful morning coffee online; as Ellerslie Lane is keeping-up with the times

By HARRIET GILMORE

Keeping-up with the times; Ellerslie Lane owner, Bonnie Storer, has launched an online ordering service through the app, “Hey You”; to speedup your morning coffee. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.

NOBODY likes to wait, especially in the morning rush when you desperately need your first delicious coffee of the day.

So, one local barista is hoping to make the “morning wait” a thing of the past, with the use of the online “order ahead” app, “Hey You”.

Ellerslie Lane coffee-shop owner, Bonnie Storer, believes in keeping-up with the times, and is excited to be a part of this new service designed to make her customer’s mornings easier, and their coffees quicker.

“Mornings for me are always a rush; no matter what time I’m up, I’m always in a rush, and luckily, for me, I can grab my coffee at work and get on with the day.”

Bonnie said.

“But I know how frustrating it can be, when you are already running late, you run into Ellerslie, and there is a huge queue!” she added.

Bonnie says that the new app is exactly what her coffee-loving — but very busy — customers need, and it’s so easy to sign-on.

“So now we are on ‘Hey You’, you can jump on the app; order your coffee, ‘toastie’, or croissant; and it will be ready and waiting, when you waltz into the shop; it’s

great!” Bonnie enthused.

“Simply download ‘Hey You’ on your phone, search ‘Ellerslie Lane;, and you’re ready to go,” she said.

But the new ordering app isn’t the only exciting news on the horizon for the Ellerslie crew; with the store branching-out in true “cafe society” style.

“We are currently in the process of applying for a liquor licence; it’s always been a dream for us, to host events and evenings at ‘EL’, and we are so-close to making it happen,” Bonnie said excitedly.

“We have a host of ideas in the works including live music, open ‘mic nights’, evening aperitifs (liqueurs), and even a new space to host private events, once the licence is sorted; so keep an ear out, we can’t wait to have it finalised and kick-off ‘cocktail hour’,” she added.

With the thick of winter upon us and kids afternoon sports in full swing, Bonnie advised Ellerslie Lane will also be trialling an earlier closing time.

“Afternoons in winter are jam-packed for many of our regulars, so we’ve decided we’ll be closing at 2.30pm for now, with last coffee orders at 2pm,” Bonnie explained.

But don’t worry, we will look at extending hours once the weather warms up again,” she concluded.

Farm Safety Week, seeks to lower tragic stats on agriculture, our most dangerous industry

By HARRIET GILMORE AGRICULTURE is the most dangerous of Australian industries, with a total of 55 farmers losing their lives on Australian farms in 2022; more than one a week.

So it was timely that during our recent National Farm Safety Week, for Farmsafe Australia — the leading advocate for improved safety of primary producers nationwide — to remind the community to “stay on the safe side” and not get complacent when working with farm vehicles and heavy machinery.

This is because a total of 20 per cent of last year’s farm deaths, one-in-five, involved a tractor; while quad bikes accounted for another 14 per cent; a combined third of total mortalites.

Farmsafe Australia’s mission is to reduce injuries and fatalities on Australian farms and to protect the wellbeing of producers and their families.

Farmsafe Australia Chair, Felicity Richards, a farmer herself, knows first-hand the importance of making safe decisions while working at their trade.

“Every time a farmer tackles a job on-the-farm — no matter how big or small or how many times they’ve performed that job — they make decisions,” Ms Richards explained.

“They can choose to do it safely, or they can choose to take unnecessary risks,” she added.

With farm labour almost a thing of the past, much of this dangerous work, is often done by the farmer working alone, she said.

“That choice is influenced by how much time, money, or labour, they have at their disposal,” she said.

“By emphasising that safety is a choice, our hope is that farmers choose to stay on the ‘safe side’ and protect themselves, their families, their workers and, ultimately, their farms,” Ms Richards said.

Although most long-time farmers are aware of the risks on their farm, she explained, they tended to become complacent, or take shortcuts, to get jobs done quicker.

“Complacency is a silent adversary that poses a real threat to older farmers,” she believes.

“When we become comfortable with or indifferent to risks and hazards, we expose ourselves to danger,” she said.

Constant reappraisal and appreciation of the inherent dangers of much farm work, could not be emphasised enough, she added.

“Farming demands constant vigilance and a fi rm commitment to safety; we must remain pro-active, continuously as-

sessing and addressing risks.

“By challenging complacency, we fortify ourselves against incidents, protecting lives, and ensuring the sustainable success of our agricultural workforce.”

Building a “precautionary principle” into farm practices was the key, she added.

“A strong farm safety culture is the backbone of a strong and thriving agricultural community.

“It goes beyond policies and procedures; it is a shared commitment to the well-being of everyone on the farm.

By fostering a culture where safety is ingrained in every action, decision, and interaction, we create an environment where incidents are prevented, lives are protected, and the future of farming is safeguarded,” says Ms Richards.

As part of National Farm Safety Week, Farmsafe Australia publishes their annual “Safer Farms Report”.

The report unpacks the statistics and highlights the tools and resources available to farmers through the Farmsafe Australia website; Farmsafe member organisations; and collaborative partners.

It also calls-on industry, government, and supply-chain stakeholders, to actively-support Farmsafe Australia, to ensure that Australian farmers continue to have access to free farm safety information, tools, and resources.

Federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry, Murray Watt, said the report was a reminder that complacency was not an option.

“The agriculture sector only represents a small proportion of our workforce, but farmers and farm-workers are frighteningly over-represented in workplace injuries and deaths,” Mr Watt said.

“Every year, the Farmsafe Safer Farms Report is a timely reminder of the risks and dangers of a life on the land, and no one can afford to be complacent,” he added.

Sadder even still, he said, is that it is the next generation of Australians, as well as our most-mature producers, who are often most at risk.

“While, tragically, children are represented in these statistics, we see a lot of older, experienced farmers, who are injured or killed on the job,” Mr Watt said.

“I want to see a future, where accidents and deaths on farms go down to zero and, I thank Farmsafe for the work they do on this,” he concluded.

Further cost reductions needed for mandatory eID sheep tags, farmers

By EMILY MIDDLETON IT’S the biggest livestock compliance issue at the moment; the mandatory individual electronic identification (eID) system that is being implemented for all sheep and goat producers in the State.

But despite continuing offers of State and Federal Government funding for the new regulatory requirement, the cost of implementing the reform is still a major concern for many producers.

In only a few days though, starting Tuesday, August 1, parts of the sheep and farmed-goat supply chains, will be able to access an NSW Sheep and Goat eID Infrastructure Rebate.

This rebate is designed to assist impacted stakeholders in transitioning from the existing “visual tag” system, to the

electronic eID one.

The rebate wil l f irst be rol led- out to saleyards and processors, and then to producers and agents, from October.

While the State funding was appreciated, there had to be a greater contribution from the Federal Government, with the full details of the scheme needing to be closely-examined, NSW Farmers Sheepmeat Committee Chair and local producer, Jenny Bradley, said.

“We expect that all producers who are required to invest in mandatory eID, should be able to readily-access this funding and receive a rebate, so that no-one misses out,” Mrs Bradley said.

“The Government’s eID rollout is a significant issue for producers, and we welcome progress,” she added.

The likely implementation

price of the new system, designed to help in the fight against exotic animal diseases like Foot-and-Mouth, still needed to be clarified, Mrs Bradley said.

“There still remains a significant need to reduce the cost of eID NLIS devices to economically-affordable levels,“ she believes.

“If some states have cheaper tags than others, producers will lose faith in the fairness of the system, and we won’t stand a chance of national harmonisation,” she added.

With the funding not expected to reduce tag costs in NSW, Mrs Bradley said that this was a critical issue for State-based producers that needed to be addressed.

She said there had to be funding from the Federal Government to bring-down the cost of eID tags.

“NSW Farmers policy, seeks eID tags for sheep that cost no more than $1 per tag, and more-affordable tags is a position broadly-agreed to by all other State farming organisations at our meeting in Adelaide last week,” Mrs Bradley said.

“We know tags need to be more affordable, and we need f lexibility with the NLIS when much-lower cost devices become available,” she explained.

Time, however, is ticking away on this critical issue for battling producers in NSW. “The clock is running on the roll-out of mandatory eID — sheep and farmed goat producers can’t afford to keep waiting for solutions to this issue of tag costs.

“We call on the NSW and Australian Governments, to initiate a national tag ten-

der to support the reduction of NLIS eID device costs; we need prompt action to initiate a scheme,” Mrs Bradley said.

Producers in the district, though, who haven’t yet started using eID’s, say that they do understand the benefits that the system offers.

“It doesn’t worry me that it’s becoming mandatory,” one producer said.

“Enough research has been done to say it will help us, and that if there’s an outbreak, it might just be the best way to trace it back,” the producer concluded.

With no time to waste, industry stakeholders and governments at both state and national levels, have now agreed to transition towards mandatory eID for sheep and goats nationwide by January 1, 2025.

Warraan Widji Arts, wow in Coonamble

Zoey Daley delivers Acknowledgement in Wayilwan language to Wayilwan and Gamilaraay Country and Elders at Outback Arts in Coonamble.

Charlie Gale performs traditional dance during the Warraan Widji Arts Choir’s performance of The Brolga Song, a tune composed by past Elders and sung in the Wayilwan language during the opening of the For Our Elders — It’s In Our Hands First Nations art exhibition at Outback Arts in Coonamble.

PHOTOS: RAINY KING PHOTOGRAPHY. From page 1 Local Indigenous music sensation, Jerome Shepherd, who recently attended the Junior Academy of Country Music in Tamworth, also performed at the opening with clap sticks and his acoustic guitar providing backing music for the Choir.

The Warraan Widji Arts Youth Choir currently has a total of 33 members and have only been learning songs in Wayilwan language for the past 12 months.

Ms Oates said the group

should be congratulated, along with Zoey, for reawakening the Wayilwan language in the local community and representing Warren in Coonamble so well. “Well done, everyone!” Ms Oates said.

A special ‘thank-you’ to Aunty Beth Wright, for your continued support for the sustainability of Wayilwan language revival in Warren, and to WWA volunteers who tutor Wayilwan language to our youth,” she enthused.

CEO of Outback Arts and For Our Elders — It’s In Our Hands exhibitor, Jamie-Lea

Trindall, said that the performances were a wonderful and complementary feature of the opening.

“The presentation and performance, was such a wonderful accompaniment to the exhibition,” she said.

The Outback Arts exhibition, based on this year’s NAIDOC week theme, For Our Elders, explores cultural practices, stories, and knowledge, that has been passed from the Elders to inspire the themes of the artworks on display.

Featured artists include Warren’s very-own Mary

Small, together with Tania Hartigan, Sophie Honess, Waabii Chapman-Burgess, Andrew Hull, Rainy King, Veneta Dutton and Frank Wright, along with youth empowerment exhibitors, Destyni Bright and Patrick Forbes. Warren local Peter Mackay’s art work, Respecting Our Elders, is also currently on display in the Front Gallery of Outback Arts as part of a community collection for NAIDOC. The exhibition will run until Friday, September 1, and has been funded by the Australian Government Indigenous Lan-

guages & Arts Program.

In other news, Warraan Widji Arts, will be holding their own For Our Elders concert for family, friends and Elders, early next month at the WOW Centre.

The concert will include performances from Wayilwan dancers, choir and the Dreaming Drifters Band. Following the concert, members are invited for a “Yarn Up” (general meeting) with some special announcements.

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

Carbon Farming Outreach Program THE Carbon Farming Outreach Program is an initiative of the Australian government to deliver training and advice to farmers to integrate low emission technologies and practices into their farming operations and land management practices.

This program is offered to organisations such as rural service and extension providers, natural resource management organisations and First Nations groups to deliver training and advice to farmers and land managers across Australia. Applications are open for grants between $1 million and $17.5 million.

Samuel Johnson OAM in Dubbo LAST week I had the privilege of hearing Gold Logie-winning actor Samuel Johnson OAM from Love Your Sister speak at the Dubbo Business Chamber Breakfast. He also made time to sit down with me for more in-depth discussion of the work he’s doing.

Like so many of us, cancer has been very personal for both Mr Johnson and myself, and

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

G’day folks, I’VE spent the past two weeks on the road around the electorate meeting with various people and talking to as many community members as possible, also catching up with some of those who helped in my campaign to give them my personal thanks.

One great thing I noticed on my travels was that there were plenty of tourists travelling across Barwon, plenty of caravans on the road, lots of people dining out in pubs, clubs, restaurants and enjoying tourist attractions, which means more money into the electorate, which, with the right investment, is something we can build on for further prosperity.

Along with agriculture and mining, both of which are booming now, tourism is an important part of Barwon’s economy. But to sustain growth we need to continue working on vital infrastructure and services.

On the road again SINCE parliament rose in June, I have spent a lot of the time travelling around the electorate. While I do catch the occasional plane fl ight, most of my time is spent on the road.

Often when I seem to go a bit quiet, it is because I have spent the day driving. July 13

has driven us to do what we can to improve the odds for impacted people. For Mr Johnson, this has meant pouring his energy into his cancer-fighting foundation Love Your Sister, which has raised nearly $20 million so far for cancer research, and is focused on providing precision medicine for all cancer patients no matter where they live.

I was thrilled to learn more about the work of Love Your Sister and was so pleased to hear about their intention to extend their focus to areas like Dubbo and the far west. I’m excited to see what this incredible charity has in store for people in the Parkes electorate.

Free home internet for unconnected students I’M pleased to announce the School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) is now available, offering free home internet for up to one year for eligible unconnected families with school aged students. Through this initiative the Australian government aims to bridge the digital divide and expand educational opportunities for students who do not have home internet access.

To qualify, participants must: - Have a child living at home that is enrolled in an Australian school in 2023.

- Not have an active NBN network internet service at home. Having a mobile internet service does not affect eligibility.

- Be referred by a nominating organisation.

This will include consideration of whether the child has access to a device and the digital skills to use the internet safely.

- Live in a premises that can access the NBN network.

For more information, please visit the NBN website.

was one of those days. I did some media and phone calls from the car, but service is limited, especially when you go west of Cobar.

After a juice and coffee at Yield Narrabri, I got started out on the trip to Broken Hill. I dropped by to see Henry at the Gold Medal Chinese Restaurant at Nyngan Bowling Club, with a fast lunch, then got back on the road.

Arriving in Broken Hill at 19:20pm central time, The Old Salt Bush Restaurant and Catering at Broken Hill had food ready to go. All very nice.

The countryside is still looking good, plenty of feed about, and lots of goats. If the price comes up again, that will be a windfall to people running rangeland goats.

All the towns are busy with main street parking hard to fi nd. There were also plenty of vans and tourists out and about - that’s great for our local businesses.

Before leaving town, I visited Broken Hill Pistol Club for a bit of a shoot. Great bunch of people, very welcoming and what a day to be outdoors. I had intended to go to Broken Hill Gun Club but mixed my days up. Will try again on my next trip.

If you are interested in getting involved in any shooting sports, contact your local club, and they will make it as easy as possible to get you started.

I headed to Tibooburra and from there along the Cut Line to Wanaaring, both of which were buzzing with visitors on holidays. I’m looking forward to seeing the sealing of the entire road, from Wanaaring to Bourke, fi nished, which should open up the region to more tourists and provide an

all-weather road for producers to move stock.

Bourke and Brewarrina visit FROM Wanaaring I headed to Bourke where I met with the Bourke Shire Council general manager Leonie Brown and mayor Barry Hollman. I discussed some ongoing issues with youth crime and what can be done, and the action I am taking in parliament on behalf of regional councils.

Bush councils aren’t the same as those in the city, so they must be treated accordingly.

While I was in Bourke, I slipped out to Brewarrina to catch up with mayor Vivian Slack-Smith and general manager Dave Kirkby.

I had a look at some of the work going on in town. Brewarrina is a very capable community, as evidenced by its response to recent flooding.

The main street was busy, and there is still a good amount of water flowing over the weir. I returned to Bourke where I met up with Liam Brodrick, the director of the Clontarf Foundation in Bourke. Clontarf is an amazing organisation that brings pro-social activity and interaction to plenty of Barwon communities.

Liam greatly understands the community he works in and the young people he works with. He is well-placed to provide advice on how best to bring about change in his community.

Eveline Miller celebrates 100th birthday WHILE I was recently on the road around the electorate, I had the great honour of pre-

Samuel Johnson OAM with Mark Coulton, Federal Member for Parkes. PHOTO: PARKES ELECTORATE. senting Narrabri local Eveline Miller with a certificate for reaching the milestone of 100 years.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet Eveline, she had a cheeky sense of humour and had us all in stitches from the moment we met. She has lived a long and interesting life, born Eveline McCoo in Northern Ireland in 1923.

She served in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force during WWII and after her discharge went to live with a sister in England. At the age of 30 she decided to emigrate to Australia. Her travels eventually led her to Narrabri where she married carpenter Jack Miller.

She settled down in Narrabri working at the Tattersalls Hotel and the hospital.

Her husband passed away in 2001 and she later moved into Whiddon Narrabri Robert Young residential care home where she celebrated her 100th birthday in June.

I want to wish Eveline a very happy birthday.

Pastoralists’ Association of West Darling WHILE I was in Broken Hill the week before last I met with the Pastoralists’ Association of West Darling (PAWD). This organisation is a collection of primary producers who together are strong advocates for a sometimes-overlooked part of the state.

It’s always a pleasure to meet with them. We have done a lot over the past few years, working on several important issues such as a doppler radar for the far west, road repairs, telecommunications and a range of other issues relating to primary producers in west-

ern NSW. Today we updated each other on the progress of existing issues like eID tags and discussed emerging challenges for the West. I will continue to consult with PAWD and raise these and other issues with the relevant people in local, state and federal government, to work toward satisfactory solutions.

Jobs working on the Newell WHENEVER there are vital infrastructure projects in any part of Barwon it is always good to hear that it is providing employment for locals. The Newell Highway is one of these.

The Newell is a vital traffic artery connecting Victoria and Queensland through the heart of NSW, including Gilgandra, Coonabarabran, Tooraweenah, and Narrabri.

It is undergoing a significant upgrade, which means they need workers, and they are looking for local workers from the Narrabri area.

Marra Field Day IT was great to see such a massive turn out for the Marra Field Day on the weekend.

The event drew plenty of people from the far west, and the eastern side of the Barwon Electorate. It was nice to see so many familiar faces.

Field days are so important to agriculture and to local economies. They are a chance to share ideas, experiences, see what’s new in agricultural techniques, technology, and practices and to catch up with people who share a love of the land. Well done to organisers and the stall holders, it was a great event.

Councillors report on NSW Local Roads Congress

By ANDREW TARRY A FEW months ago, the Warren Shire Council approved two councillors to attend the Local Roads Congress along with the general manager and the divisional manager engineering services.

The congress took place on June 5 and councillors Andrew Brewer and Dirk McCloskey, along with the general manager Gary Woodman attended the event. A report has now been provided with details and a summary of the congress to the council following the event in which the congress was described as “most interesting”.

The event was held at the NSW Parliament House with the theme of “Sustainable Investment”. The congress was attended by over 100 delegates, consisting of mayors, councillors, general managers, directors of engineering services, and others responsible for NSW road networks.

The congress heard from a number of speakers such as the vice-president of the NSW and ACT division of the Institute Public Works Engineering Australasia, Will Barton.

Councillor Darriea Turley AM president of Local Government NSW, the Hon. Jenny Aitchison MP minister for regional transport and roads, Hon. John Graham MLC, minister for Roads, the Hon. Natalie War MLC shadow minister for transport and roads, and the Hon. Sam Farraway MLC shadow minister for regional transport and roads.

Minister Aitchison spoke in relation “to the new NSW government providing an additional $390 million over the next two years as part of its new Regional Emergency Road Repair Fund.”

Despite the minister’s speech addressing funding for roads the report on the congress in the council’s business paper states that attendees to the congress felt “there is much concern that the level of funding to the regions for the road networks could be in decline.”

The report goes on to mention other areas which were discussed throughout the congress, starting with the need for councils to “commit to maintaining own source road funding levels.”

The Warren council argues that this isn’t a problem in the Warren shire as “much funding as possible is put towards our most major asset, the road network”. The council’s report of the congress also argues that “what is also required is the NSW and Australian government to work with local government to develop new guidelines for the Natural Disaster Funding Arrangements which facilitate routine approval for betterment where the additional costs say are less than 20 per cent or so”.

The effect of climate change and its impact on the longevity and resilience of roads was spoken about as climate change is “affecting council’s fi nancial stability with roads useful lives down, maintenance costs up and deprecia-

tion up. Again, the recommendation is to review disaster funding guidelines to reduce cost and complexity to councils and unfortunately that useful life for roads that are not disaster resilient and need to be reduced.”

The report provided to the council came with several pages of the congress communiqué which outline the purpose of the congress and the responsibilities that governments, of all levels, have in maintaining the quality and accessibility of the road network across the state. The network is a vital piece of infrastructure and communities which face challenges in keeping the roads useable or have a lack of quality roads at all can experience other severe challenges. These challenges are discussed in the communique attachments as “local and regional transport infrastructure is critical to the safety, resilience, prosperity, and social well-being of NSW communities. The Local Roads Congress emphasises the pivotal role of local government in shaping local and regional transport infrastructure in partnership with state and federal governments.”

The last few years have seen major disruptions to NSW communities. The effects of the drought, then the pandemic, followed closely by massive floods has left a lasting impact.

Across the state the recovery from these hardships is an ongoing and complex process.

The floods especially caused enormous damage to roads

and infrastructure compounding the strain and difficulty councils and communities were already experiencing.

The congress spoke at length on the economic cost of natural disasters, which, according to reports by the Australian government “without action the cost of natural disasters will increase from $38B to 73B per annum by 2060”.

As this poses a significant problem for the roads infrastructure in NSW local governments have been notified that they must “play a major role in improving the resilience of the local road network, recognising that this requires immediate action to facilitate network wide changes over the medium-long term”.

All councils have within their budget and organisation an obligation to provide upkeep and new investment in the infrastructure of the LGA they represent. This responsibility forms one of the fundamental purposes for all levels of government.

The congress criticised the current overall government models saying that they are “reactive, insufficient for the scale of the task, inherently inefficient, and poorly aligned to the function of local government. The base funding levels do not support the development and retention of sustainable workforce within local government due to an over-reliance on competitive grants”.

The Warren Shire Council have been able to perform maintenance on the road net-

work around the shire due to a large part from grants.

These are inherently precarious as the government can change conditions of grants, or scrape grant programs all together. A change in government can also result in programs being terminated or drastically changed. It is therefore difficult for councils to consistently budget for the upkeep of roads when income from rates isn’t able to cover all the costs and the funding from state or federal bodies isn’t forthcoming. A problem which the congress communiqué describes as being “inequitable and uncertain”.

A significant outcome from the congress in this area was when the congress “unanimously agreed that a new watershed partnership between local government and the NSW and Australian government is warranted. This will enable the progression of the local road network toward a sustainable future with the specific goals of improving safety, social equity, prosperity, liveability, and resilience of NSW communities”.

The report’s summation of the event was positive with the Warren councillors and council staff members all agreeing that the event was worthwhile, and that “overall, the congress met expectations and also allowed council’s delegates to have conversations with other fellow councillors, general managers and roads engineers”.

Preparations begin for bushfire season 2023/24

By ANDREW TARRY TOWARDS the end of every winter the preparation for bushfire season begins. This year is no different with the NSW government announcing extra funding of $10 million dollars to support increased reduction burns across the state.

The last two summers have seen extremely wet conditions and although this has reduced the frequency and severity of fi res, it has also enabled a large increase in vegetation and fi re fuel. Since the Bureau of Meteorology have moved the EL Nino status to ‘alert’ which means a likely return to hot, dry, and windy conditions this summer, it is expected that the upcoming warmer months could mean a return to a more traditional fi re season.

The minister for emergency services, Jihad Dib said “with warm, dry conditions expected to return in coming months, we are potentially looking at a serious fi re season and it’s important we do everything we can to support our fi re services and land managers to prepare”.

Only 20 per cent of planned hazard reduction burns were able to be completed within the past year due to the prolong wet weather and flooding. The government have announced that the $10 million program will “develop a statewide mobile workforce to accelerate this critical work ahead of the coming fi re season”.

“The funding will enable the Rural Fire Service (RFS) to employ an additional 100 mitigation crew members to carry out vital hazard reduction and mitigation works in identified

high risk areas of the state.

The extra mitigation crew members will be based mainly in regional areas of NSW to help take advantage of every possible opportunity to conduct hazard reduction.”

Work will be carried out to prepare trails and establish control lines and assist burns during the week when volunteers may not be readily available.

Minister Dib also commented saying that the RFS are facing a significant backlog in hazard reduction due to the recent rain. “We need we need to accelerate our efforts heading into the next fi re season and these additional crews will help make a difference.

It is important to plan ahead and come up with a proactive approach to maximise our narrow window for hazard reduction, as a result of unfa-

vourable weather conditions.

“We are implementing a range of hazard reduction options; this is just one way we can complement existing efforts and enhance our ability to respond to future fi res. I want to thank our hard-working RFS mitigation crew members and volunteers for their efforts as they work hard to keep each of us safe.”

The RFS have stressed the need to carry out these reduction hazard burns. The varying degrees of success of the hazard reduction burn process when conditions are favourable and can often mitigate the worst of the bushfire season.

The RFS commissioner Rob Rogers said, “with the change in weather systems seeing an end to frequent rain and the return of dry, windy conditions, we need to get our teams out

there doing hazard reduction burns at every opportunity”.

“Over the last three months, almost 55,000 hectares of work has been completed, work critical to protect more than 50,000 properties and safeguard lives.”

The devastating black summer fi res of 2019/20 are still in recent memory as the last time the state faced a devastating bushfi re season.

“There is plenty more to be done and this boost in mitigation personnel will enable even more vital work to be undertaken. While we are doing what we can, home and property owners also need to assess what they can do to prepare for the upcoming fi re season as well,” said RFS commissioner Rob Rogers.

COMMEMORATING NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee) Week for 2023, St Mary’s Parish School students were provided with a unique chance to engage in a diverse range of learning experiences centred around Aboriginal culture.

One of the highlights of the Week, was the collaboration with Josh Toole from the BlackFit Fitness — a group that specialises in programs that empower children and communities to make healthy lifestyle choices — which proved to be an awe-inspiring experience for the pupils.

Throughout the celebrations,

students also had the chance to immerse themselves in various activities including learning traditional dances, beading, ochre art, conducting research on influential Aboriginal figures, and creating their own traditional symbol art.

“The week was both educational and enriching, as we delved deep into the rich tapestry of Aboriginal heritage and traditions,” a School spokesperson said.

Warren-based players Aidan Bermingham, Fletcher Hunt, and Harry Hammond, in Nyngan Tigers First Grade’s special pink jerseys on Sunday in recognition of all the great women and their contribution to the club.

Coached by Josh Stephens, the Warren Bulldogs U7s on the fly as they make a break against Wellington on Saturday.

By HARRIET GILMORE IT was a clean-sweep for Warren Bulldogs U10s and U12s when they travelled to Wellington on Saturday for their fi rst game back after the school holiday break.

The U10s won convincingly, beating Wellington 48-0 with Elias Millgate scoring three of their nine tries with Harvey Leonard, Harlem Ward, and Mase Linnet, each scoring one. Added to this were successful conversions from Harlem Ward, Elias Millgate, and

Louis Welsh.

The U12s then defeated Wellington 18-8 in a much tighter affair with Chlive Deguit scoring two tries and Riley Freeth scoring one. Riley Freeth, George Welsh, and Ty Wilson, kicked the conversions.

In upcoming news, the Bulldogs take-on the Cobar Roosters this Saturday, July 29, with players and parents reminded that, at this match, team photos will also be taken.

THE Nyngan Tigers enjoyed a clean sweep against the Dubbo Macquarie Raiders in Sunday’s rugby league match-up; with all three grades taking home wins.

The Under 18’s defeated Macquarie Raiders 40-14 with the Warren local boys playing a big part in the win.

Braith Boyd scored a hat-trick, while Fletcher Hunt and Harry Hammond also scored one try each. The Under 18’s currently sit third on the Group XI ladder and sixth overall. Warren local, Richard Glover, also plays in the U18s team, but was absent on Sunday.

Reserve Grade also came home with a good win in an extremely tough game, defeating the Raiders 31-30.

First Grade came from behind with a thrilling win, defeating the Raiders 30-28

in the last five minutes with Nyngan Tigers First Grade currently sitting fi fth on the ladder.

On Sunday, in celebration of the many great women of the club, First Grade wore a special one-off pink jersey. Women, both past and present, have made a huge contribution to the Nyngan Tigers Senior League club, helping to make it the great club it is today. Following the game, the jerseys were auctioned off at the Nyngan RSL Club.

If you’re looking for a good day-out and love watching great footy, why not come over and support the local Warren boys and the Nyngan Tigers in their last home game for the season taking-on Dubbo CYMS on Sunday, August 13 with, as they say the best steak-sandwiches in the west.

The Brett Robb-trained Hardly The End was resuming from a spell while the top weight in the 12 horse field was the Rodney Robb trained Hurn Court, winner of the last two starts at Walgett and Nyngan.

Luckyimwithaimee and Laffing Waters led at the top of the straight with Hardly The End then getting a rails run while Hurn Court (Michael Heagney) was fi nishing well on the outside.

Heagney and Gallagher are very strong jockeys and their mounts responded to fight out a tremendous fi nish with Hardly The End ($4.60 favourite) prevailing by a half head over Hurn Court ($14) which had an extra three kilogram handicap to carry, while Mamelon (Andrew Banks, $9) was almost two lengths away in third place.

Overall, Clayton Gallagher had six rides at the meeting for five wins and a fi fth pacing on Wandering Jack ($2.50 favourite) which had every chance in the 1200 metres Maiden Handicap won by the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo trained Skyforger..

Hemmed on the fence turning for home, Skyforger ($4.60) was eased around heels by talented apprentice Ronald Simpson and raced to a two lengths win over Bijara (Kody Nestor, $19) and The Percentage (Andrew Banks, $9.50).

Ronald Simpson went close to a winning double when his mount Demeurer came with a strong run from the tail of the field in the 1400 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap to figure in a four-way photo fi nish.

Bursting through the pack from midfield, the Jane Clement, Armidale trained Hombre Grande (Chelsea Hillier, $9) won by a head from Demeurer ($6) with Aisle Six (Shayleigh Ingelse, $9) a half neck away third and the leader Ringside a close fourth.

Pracey-Holmes returns with a winning double SIDELINED for two months, Jake Pracey-Holmes was back doing what he does best when riding a winning double, Twin Seas and Aesthete, on Saturday, July 22 at Coonabarabran.

Referring to the time spent as a labourer during his suspension, the likeable Pracey-Holmes quipped, “there is more money being a jockey than working on the end of a shovel”.

Displaying his renowned alertness at the barriers, Pracey-Holmes jumped his mount straight to the front from the outside gate and the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo-trained Twin Seas ($4.40 to $3.90) thereafter led through-

out for a three lengths win over Our Armistice (Will Stanley, $7) and Freedom To Dream (Billy Cray, $14) in the 900 metres Imperial Hotel-It’s A Boy Maiden Handicap.

Tamworth trainer Cody Morgan supplied the other winner for Jake Pracey-Holmes, Aesthete in the 1600 metres Imperial Hotel-Up The Kookas Class One and Maiden Plate.

Taking the lead from Augusta Miss at the 800 metres, Aesthete ($2.15 favourite) won by three lengths from Cheeky Secrets (Andrew Banks, $4.60) and Glenfield Fox (Shayleigh Ingelse, $26).

Local gallopers invariably go well at Coonabarabran meetings and such was the case with the Wayne Martyn-trained Missile Moove in the 1200 metres Imperial Hotel-Have A Schooner In Coona Maiden Plate.

Raced by Wayne Martyn and Tim Evans from Coonabarabran and Mick Baker,

Missile Moove ($4.40) was well ridden by apprentice Jake Barrett when coming from last to beat Heza Wise Guy (Tony Cavallo, $10) and The Percentage (Andrew Banks, $2.40 fav.).

Formerly from England, 23-year-old apprentice Cobi Vitler recorded the third winner of his so far short career, aboard the Rod Northam, Scone-trained Fabulous Choice in the 1200 metres Imperial Hotel-Happy Birthday Chimp Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Close to the leaders and needing an opening turning for home, Fabulous Choice ($2.40 fav.) eventually worked clear and scored by a short head from Turgenev (Andrew Banks,$9) with two lengths to the third placed Leviticon (Wendy Peel, $25).

Another apprentice to land a winner was Shayleigh Ingelse on the Allan Kehoe, Scone trained Bring The Rabble in the 900 metres Imperi-

al Hotel-Sam’s The Man Class Three Handicap.

Leading all the way, Bring The Rabble ($3.60 to $2.80 fav.) had over a length to spare at the fi nish from Super Hot (Wendy Peel, $10) and Casan Geal (Will Stanley, $61).

Stepping up to TAB company after a close third to Gossip in the Wean Picnic Cup, the Bryan Dixon Jnr, Gilgandra-trained Beg Me beat a big field in the 1600 metres Imperial Hotel-Jakki Brady Benchmark 50 Handicap at Coonabarabran.

Travelling midfield on the rails, Beg Me ($14) skilfully ridden by Tony Cavallo, ran home strongly to win by a half-length from Aisle Six (Shayleigh Ingelse, $4.80) with Costas (Jake Barrett, $26) two lengths away third.

Coonabarabran will next race with their cup meeting in October.

So, ladies, please put your name on the sheet on the board at the Golfie if you wish to play the second round of the Championship on Saturday. You can still play even if

you didn’t play the fi rst round.

Good luck everyone.

Upcoming events include on Wednesday, July 26; the Deb Kentwell Trophy Day; an American Foursomes mixed invitational with, on Saturday July 29, the second round of the Club Championships as a 27-hole stroke play event, and the August medal and sixth round of the LGU (Ladies Golf Union).
