Nevertire is gearingup for “biggest rodeo yet” By HARRIET GILMORE IT’S not their fi rst, but it’s looking to be their best! Small but mightily-motivated Committee behind this weekend’s Nevertire Rodeo, are gearing-up for their biggest event yet. Entries for competitors closed on Monday, with more than 150 contenders set to take the field across the day. President, Tom Russ, said he was thrilled with the number of entries, the biggest field they’ve ever had. “It’s going to be a cracking day on Sunday,” Tom enthused. “We’ll have 155 top-class riders putting their skills to the test in more than a dozen events,” he added. He revealed that, it’s also not too-late to get involved. “Locals can nominate on the day for the donkey race, local steer ride, and dog jumping. “So, there will be plenty of thrills, spills, and entertainment for the whole family,” he said.

Splash Park vandalised: water park out of action By HARRIET GILMORE HOT-UNDER-THE-COLLAR community members were disappointed and frustrated when vandals struck local facilities again last week, this time damaging the much-loved Splash Park and the amenity blocks at Macquarie Park. During an unseasonably-hot week for early Spring, the family-friendly, free water park operated by the Shire Council, had to be closed temporarily after unknown individuals damaged the operation switch and smothered the area in mud and debris. Warren Shire Council Town Services Manager, Raymond Burns, was extremely disappointed and dismayed at the destruction, but was pleased Council was able to re-open the area quickly. Mr Burns said that although the operation switch was damaged, he didn’t have to close the park completely, and could keep it operational by manually-running Splash Park between 7.30am and 8pm. The damage, though, led to wastage of hundreds of litres of water during the day, he explained. “What this means however, is water is running constantly,” Mr Burns said.

Splash Park was vandalised last week, with the operation switch broken forcing Council to close the park temporarily. The area is open again now, with water running constantly due to the damage to the operational switch.

He added that, there were also safety issues to do with the vandalism.

Quickfire questions… A usual morning looks like… A usual morning has me rising at fi rst light and sliding into the bathtub — my mental health unit! It is warm and reassuring. I often read (or at the least look at my emails), do the New York Wordle, and get out whole and functional, ready to face the day, and an always full calendar. Until very recently when my darling doggie died, she and I would take a morning walk, mostly along the river and through the beautiful Window on the Wetlands (WOW) garden and the wetland walk around Tiger Bay. After a breakfast of fruit and yoghurt, I tackle the daily to-do list… I’m most proud of… It is difficult to choose just a single thing of which to be most proud, as there have been so many proud moments since I came to Warren 38 years ago. The fi rst may have been becoming an Australian citizen at a Warren Shire Council meeting, receiving flowers and local history books, and having councillors spontaneously standing-up and giving me character references. I have also been enormously proud of the achievements of friends and students of the Westwing Studio over the years, and am over the moon with a current student winning the 2023 Junior Outback Archies in Coonamble just last weekend! On the weekend you can find me… On a weekend you can fi nd me doing pretty much the same as most days of the week. Artists don’t really have weekends or ‘time off ’, as being a painter and creator is way more of a vocation than a job. A quote or piece of advice you live by… One of my favourite quotes is by Thomas Merton, who said: “Art enables us to fi nd ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time”.

braced the concept of: “Paint as liquid thought”. What is your favourite place in Warren Shire? My favourite places in Warren Shire are many, but I particularly like being by the river, Tiger Bay, and the WOW garden, and the Burrima Boardwalk at the Macquarie Marshes. In saying that, I do love being at home and in the garden. It’s so nice living in an old house with many connections to the people and history of Warren. Some more about you… What do you love most about Warren Shire? It is always the people of a place that make it special, and I am so appreciative of the people of Warren that have enabled me to practise as an artist almost ever since I arrived here in 1985. Can you tell us a bit about your journey, including some of your most significant achievements? I gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in painting from the National Art School in Sydney as a mature-age student — where some of my peers called me ‘Nanna’! One of my most signiﬁcant achievements, has been exhibiting my artwork with other members of Westwing Studio at State Parliament House a few years ago. I am truly honoured to have received a Lennon Simmonds Community Recognition Commendation from the NSW State Parliament acknowledging the provision of a creative outlet in person, online, and to the wider region. Having exhibited in venues from our local Window on the Wetlands to the ARO Gallery in Sydney, what have been some of your highlights as an artist? I have been involved with Outback Arts, our regional arts organisation, and have exhibited extensively in the region and afar. I am currently a ﬁ nalist in the Outback Archies, and have an exhibition at the Warren Museum and Art Gallery, and will again participate in the Dubbo Art Fair at the Western Plains Cultural Centre at the end of October. Not only that, but you’re a dedicated teacher and mentor at Westwing Studio, Warren.

I run two classes each week in the Studio, and have done so for more than 30 years, and they are still highlights of my life. It is a sheer delight to share in students’ and fellow painters’ successes in putting ideas into paintings, which often manifests as a ‘happy dance’! You’re obviously known as a strong supporter of all things art, history and culture in our Shire. Why do you think it’s so important to support local creatives? The support of local creatives can allow unique and original perspectives for local events, discussions, outlooks, and projects in a small community. That which is great for one can readily spill over to be great for many. Vision can be informed by so much more than a black bottom line. What advice would you give to other women living in rural communities? I would encourage local women to be themselves, follow the desires of their hearts, and to participate and share those wonderful qualities with our community. Love may begin in the home, but is really apparent and spreads quickly when shared.

Splash Park vandalised: water park out of action

Mud and debris was strewn all over Splash Park and the facilities including the seating and electric barbecues.

Some of the destruction caused by vandals last week. From page 1 But this also means, water is pooling, which is problematic,” Mr Burns said. Although an inconvenience to Council, Mr Burns was glad they were able to keep the area open, especially considering the unseasonably hot weather. Parts to ﬁ x the jammed operational switch are expected early next week, with Mr Burns anticipating repairs to be completed by the end of the week. It wasn’t only Council who were disappointed by the destruction, with almost 50 comments and shares on social media, with many in the community calling for CCTV to protect the much-loved area. Mr Burns said Council is investigating the installation of

CCTV cameras at various parks around town. “We have a modest budget for CCTV camera installations this year as part of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Grant, and we are currently working through where and when these will be installed. “It’s just such a shame a small group of people don’t appreciate the nice things we have in our town,” Mr Burns added. The Macquarie Park amenity blocks were also reported to have been damaged by vandals again last week; the second time in less than two months. As reported in the Warren Star in early July, the winner of the “Australia’s Most-Colourful Loo” competiton, was damaged, resulting in the closing of the facilities at night.

When floodwaters subside, new dangers arise. Warren Shire Council is telling mozzies to BUZZ OFF. Council is installing mozzie zappers around the Shire and providing free mosquito repellent for residents to keep our community safe and help combat this pesky problem. Now, we're asking you to take the steps to protect.

The Land Cookery Competition was also held at the recent CWA Cultural and Awareness Day with Warren branch members, Pauline Serdity, Di Parry, Stephanie Van Lubeck, and Sharon McCalman, with their baked entries. FASCINATING and revealing discussion on a range of related health issues, plus a cookery comp, and the subject of Italy, featured at the CWA Warren Branch’s recent Cultural and Awareness Day at the WOW Centre. This year, the focus of the Day was on a variety of neurodivergent conditions including ADHD (Attention Deﬁcit Hyperactivity Disorder), autism, dyslexia, and Tourette Syndrome. Guest speaker was Emma Wass, who revealed her own medical and personal experiences regarding ADHD and, afterwards, provided

valuable information and engaged in discussions over the morning tea. Emma spoke about two scenarios regarding the importance of an early diagnosis versus a late diagnosis for these conditions. She also discussed the urgent need for medical services to recognise and treat diagnosis in regional areas, as well as the financial cost of treating these conditions and in providing continuing support. In gratitude for her illuminating and informative address, Emma was presented with ﬂowers and a gift

from CWA branch President, Stephanie Van Lubeck. The meeting also included The Land Cookery Competition with lots of lovely cakes on display for the People’s Choice judging. Some of the varieties entered included such classics as the Jaffa, sultana, tea, chocolate, plain, and banana cakes. The Day also involved a Country of Focus, with Italy this year’s choice that included many items displayed by members; either knitted, crochet, and embroidered. Although rather small, it was a very enthusiastic group in attendance.

Stacey wins family pass THANK you to all those who submitted entries for our competition to win a family pass to Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. Drawn randomly on September 19 from the entries received, the winner of the competition is Stacey Russell from Warren. Stacey is looking forward to visiting the

zoo with her family. The Warren Star would like to thank the Taronga Western Plains Zoo for donating the family pass for this competition. You can catch all the zoo action these school holidays – check out the TW PZ website.

Spring cleaning time for the soul By SIMON CANT

The Warren CWA held their Cultural and Awareness Day recently with a focus on neurodivergent conditions. Emma Wass (right) was guest speaker on the topic, pictured here with CWA branch President, Stephanie Van Lubeck.

I FIND myself cleaning gutters lately and, as I do, thinking about the clutter on my desk. Unfortunately, that might be as close as I get to putting it in order, for this week! It’s obvious; cleaning the outside of our house, doesn’t deal with the inside. Jesus makes it clear that putting on a good show doesn’t clean your heart either. He told of two men who went to the Temple to pray. One was highly religious, a Pharisee, who to the onlooker had his life in order. While praying he listed his achievements and then added “…and I thank you that I’m

not like THAT fellow over there.” “That fellow,” whose life was in a mess, stood quietly in the corner and ﬁ lled, with sorrow, pleaded to God: “Lord, have mercy on me, I’ve made a mess and sinned against you…” Jesus said only one of these men went home that day settled with God. Was it the one with his life in order, but a heart in a mess, or the other whose life was a mess, but opened his heart to God? You can read about it in Luke 18: 9–14. “...people look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.” 1Sam 16:7b

BOM makes the call; latest El Niño is here By HARRIET GILMORE WITH mid 30-degree temperatures recorded all last week, and a total ﬁ re ban on Wednesday, last week’s announcement from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) the El Niño is underway should come as no surprise. After months of speculation and declarations from around the world, the BOM confirmed that our latest El Niño (dry weather) event, was already underway. The Bureau also advised last week of another drp weather indicator, a positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Together, these two climate cycles tend to draw rain away from Australia, meaning a hotter and dryer Spring and Summer is likely on the way for large parts of the country. One expert also anticipates the dry conditions will remain well into Autumn. BOM Climate Manager, Dr

Karl Braganza, said The Bureau had been forecasting warmer and dryer conditions for some time but, with conﬁ rmation of both the El Niño and positive IOD weather events, these predictions are likely to become a reality. “Over Spring, their (the El Niño and positive IOD) combined impact can increase the chance of below-average rainfall over much of the continent and higher temperatures across the southern twothirds of the country,” Dr Braganza said. “The Bureau’s three-month forecast for Australian rainfall and temperature, have been indicating warm and dry conditions for some time,” he added. The combination of the two, he added, makes the likelihood even higher of drier and hotter conditions. “An established El Niño and positive IOD, reinforces our conﬁdence in those predictions.

“Based on history, it is now also more likely that warm and dry conditions will persist over eastern Australia until autumn.” El Niño events also increase the risk of extreme temperature shifts, like heatwaves and hotter days, evident last week with scorching Summer-like weather recorded throughout the week. Increased fi re danger in south-eastern Australia is also associated with El Niño conditions. A positive IOD contributes to greater fi re-risk over south-east Australia in Spring, while El Niño contributes to elevated fi re-risk over both Spring and Summer. Last week also included high fire danger warnings and the second Total Fire Ban in as many weeks for Warren and the surrounding shires of Bogan, Coonamble, and Gilgandra. Areas on the South Coast and around Sydney were also

declared Catastrophic for fi re risk, with more than 100 fi re incidents around the State. The BOM made the El Niño declaration after three of the four El Niño criteria were met, including a sustained response in the atmospheric circulation above the tropical Pacific. “Around two-thirds of Australia’s driest years on record, were during El Niño however, no two El Niño or IOD events or their impacts are the same,” Dr Braganza said. “El Niño is part of a natural climate cycle that affects global weather and occurs on average every three to five years.” BOM Senior Climatologist, Catherine Ganter, added that the Indian Ocean Dipole can have as large an influence on Australia’s rainfall and temperature, as El Niño. “A positive IOD often results in below-average rainfall during Spring for much of central and southern Australia and

warmer than average maximum temperatures for the southern two-thirds of Australia,” Ms Ganter said. “Similar to El Niño, the IOD describes a natural climate cycle brought about by sustained changes in the difference between sea surface temperatures in the tropical western and eastern Indian Ocean.” According to The Bureau, the last time Australia encountered both El Niño and a positive IOD was in 2015. This involved a particularly wet Winter and Spring in 2016. But conditions took a turn for the worst in 2017, as we all remember too well, and the region experienced three of the driest years on record. One of the strongest positive IOD events ever recorded, occurred in the second half of 2019, just before the catastrophic and unprecedented 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushﬁ re season.

Fleming’s new exhibit “from the vault” at the Warren Museum and Art Gallery By HARRIET GILMORE

LOCAL artist and art teacher, Jude Fleming, is the latest talent to go on show at The Warren Museum and Art Gallery. Opened last week and titled “From the Vault”; the new exhibition runs until the end of October, with Ms Fleming describing it as an eclectic collection of works that showcase the diversity of her art, with many pieces never shown before. “My practise is primarily about landscape and the love of country, but I create other works as well,” Ms Fleming said, “I make plein air (outdoors) paintings and subsequent works in the studio which relate to my personal experience of the Australian bush,” she added. She said that the naturalistic qualities of her preferred medium, adds to her experiences. “I particularly love to work on paper, using acrylic paint and collage, and so enjoy the serendipitous qualities of found and made papers. “My works are a direct and emotional response to wide open spaces, the majesty of ancient land, the primordial beauty of vast and enduring, harsh yet benign and achingly gorgeous Australian landscapes.” Ms Fleming arrived in Australia more than 30 years ago and said that, although she comes from outside Australia, she feels she belongs to this land. “There is an undeniable spiritual and magnetic attraction to the dirt, the rocks, the trees, the sky and the ground that speaks to my very soul,” she said. “I’m moved by and drawn to the colours, the quality of light, the uniqueness and the supreme presence of the Bush,” she explained. Australian country life, she adds, is her inspiration. “I enjoy ﬁ nding the unexpected in the commonplace; the exciting contradictions of bush life, the depth of experience and challenges that living in Outback Australia has to offer. “This engagement is reﬂected in these artworks,” Ms Fleming concluded.

Native fish thousands, being released into Macquarie River By HARRIET GILMORE ALMOST 20,000 native ﬁsh ﬁ ngerlings are being released into the Macquarie River at Warren from December as part of the Native Fish Stocking Program. Warren Shire Council — together with the Macquarie Cotton Growers Association — have been approved as partners in the “Dollar-for-Dollar” Native Fish Stocking Grant Program for the year. This initiative involves Warren Shire Council contributing a total of $3000 and Macquarie Cotton Growers Association contributing $1500 to the Dollar-for-Dollar program, with the Department of Primary In-

dustries doubling that figure. This will mean an additional $9000 will go towards the Recreational Fishing Trust initiative. The Recreational Fishing Trust is generated by Fishing Licence revenue, with grants provided from the Trusts delivering a wide range of programs to boost recreational fishing opportunities in NSW. With a total of $13,500 contributed, this will allow for the purchase and release of more than 7500 Murray Cod fi ngerlings and more than 10,000 Golden Perch fi ngerlings into the Macquarie River between December 2023 and March 2024. When announcing the latest

round of funding for improving fish habitats from the Recreational Fishing Trust, NSW Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty, said in August that the program represented a “fantastic” chance to improve local rivers, promote healthy waterways, and to encourage more native fish stocks. “This is your opportunity to put your recreational fishing fees to work to make more fish,” Ms Moriarty said. “There are some longterm benefits for completing this work and, ultimately, it’s about making sure we have functional fi sh habitat and happy native fi sh here in NSW,” she added. Warren Shire Council Gen-

eral Manager, Gary Woodman, said that Council was very pleased to be able to partner with the Macquarie Cotton Growers Association and the NSW Department of Primary Industries for the program. “The Recreational Fishing Trust funded program, is a great initiative that we are keen to be involved in to benefit the native fish stocks of the Macquarie River,” Mr Woodman said. The Dollar-for-Dollar Native Fish Stocking Program was fi rst introduced in 1998, enabling community groups to apply to the NSW Recreational Fishing (Freshwater) Trust, essentially funded by the recreational fishing fee, for

matching funds to purchase native ﬁsh from licensed commercial hatcheries in NSW, for restocking rivers. Amanda Thomas from the Macquarie Cotton Growers Association, said that her organisation has been collaborating with the Warren Shire Council and Narromine Shire Council on the initiative for the past 17 years, and even before the Dollar-for-Dollar program to fund the restocking entirely. “Since the program began in 1998, we’ve only missed a couple of years due to drought,” Ms Thomas concluded.

Mental health is now a workplace responsibility; October Workshop By HARRIET GILMORE

Taking care of employees’ mental health; Economic Development and Visitation Manager, Susan Balough, is hosting a free Mental Health in the Workplace workshop to help local businesses navigate recent changes in legalisation. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.

MENTAL health, and not just physical safety, is now a workplace responsibility in NSW, with a local workshop in October designed to explain the changes. The focus follows recent legislative reforms that have put the mental health well-being of employees front and centre for all businesses. Amendments to the legislation for Workplace Health and Safety, now includes “psycho-social well-being”, meaning it is now the responsibility of the employer or business-owner, to ensure not just the physical health and safety of their employees, but also their mental state. To ensure local business-owners have the right tools to navigate these changes, Warren Shire Council, together with Warren Chamber of Commerce, are hosting a free “Mental Health in the Workplace” workshop as part of Small Business Month. Economic Development and Visitation Manager, Susan Balough, said that, after visiting many of the local businesses houses last week, she was surprised a large majority didn’t even know about the legislative reforms.

“Navigating mental health can be a challenge,” Ms Balough, said. “With all that Warren businesses have faced over recent years, from drought to ﬂoods, from pandemics to plagues, and now cost of living and staffi ng pressures, it is vital that our local businesses are supported with the training and information needed to ensure compliance with workplace legislation and promote the mental wellbeing of our workforce,” she added. The new legislation, she explained, impacts all businesses in NSW with no exceptions. Ms Balough believes the Mental Health in the Workplace workshop, will serve as a valuable resource for owners and managers to prioritise the well-being of their employees and meet all the requirements of the new legislation. “From our small coffee shops with one or two staff, to our larger businesses employing many more, it has never been more important to pay attention to the mental health and safety of our employees. “Ultimately, this free initiative will give you the tools to contribute to the overall

COUNCILCOLUMN

mental health and success of your current business and employees, fostering a culture of well-being and productivity,” she said.

The workshop will be hosted by Jacquie Newman, a seasoned HR expert with more than 18 years of experience across diverse industries ranging from consumer goods to allied health. She will share her knowledge and experience, offer practical advice on how to identify potential issues in businesses, and provide appropriate support to connect employees with relevant resources.

Ms Balough said that by having access to expert guidance, business-owners will be able to navigate the complexities of mental health in the workplace more effectively.

She added that she hopes to see many local business people attending this event, and anticipates more funding is likely to support the businesses here in the Warren Shire should this one be a success.

The workshop was made possible by grant funding received through NSW Small Business Commission as part of their Small Business Month program.

Nevertire is gearing-up for “biggest rodeo yet” From page 1 More than a dozen Committee members were hard at work over the weekend, preparing the Noel Waters Oval for the big day. “We are so lucky to have such a strong community group who work tirelessly to pull together an event like this,” Tom said. “The saying ‘it takes a village’, couldn’t be truer for the Nevertire community,” he added. He added that a huge “thankyou” needed to go to Miles, Blair, and all of the outdoor staff from Warren Shire Council. “They’ve got the grounds in tip-top shape, and have spent months prepping the Oval and the town, ready for the thousand or so spectators who’ll descend on our little village on Sunday,” Tom said. “As well as a full day of rodeo events, we’ll have a range of different market stalls, a full bar, BBQ and canteen facilities, T h i s ye a r, we ’ l l a l s o h ave E F T P O S .” He said that, with temperature expected to be in the early thirties, visitors should come prepared. “It’s looking like it’s going to be hot, too,” Tom said. “So, make sure you bring a hat and a chair, as shade and seating is limited,” he concluded.

The proverb, “it takes a village” certainly rings true of the Nevertire community, gearing-up this weekend for their biggest-ever rodeo.

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

Inquiry into COVID-19 RECENTLY the Labor government began its Commonwealth Government COVID-19 Response Inquiry (the inquiry) with the purpose of identifying lessons learned to improve Australia’s preparedness for future pandemics. I welcome this inquiry as I believe it’s a good thing to assess what did and didn’t work during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic began, I was regional health minister and I saw many amazing responses, such as the work the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service did in providing vaccinations across western NSW. I was however disappointed that the states were not included in this inquiry, as many of the issues affecting the Parkes electorate involved border closures, both on the South Australian and Queensland borders. I’m hopeful that lessons will be learned from this inquiry; however, I would have liked to see a fuller assessment of the situation, as I don’t believe the

full picture can be gathered without including the input of state governments.

World Pharmacists Day MONDAY, September 25 was World Pharmacists Day, which is an opportunity to show support and appreciation for our local pharmacists. During the COVID-19 pandemic pharmacists were often instrumental in strengthening our healthcare systems, keeping their doors open during lockdowns and vaccinating more than 10 million Australians in 18 months. Australia’s pharmacists are heroes transforming local healthcare. They are driving change and want to do more to strengthen our state and territory health systems by working to their full scope of practice. Given the strain placed on community pharmacies recently by the Labor government’s changes to the Pharmaceutical Beneﬁt Scheme (PBS), I encourage all residents to thank your local pharmacists. They have borne the brunt of the government’s changes to the PBS and now more than ever need our support.

Assistance for tertiary students and apprentices WITH many young people

Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton says the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service was instrumental in providing vaccinations across the Parkes electorate during the COVID-19 pandemic. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

in the electorate starting to think about their post-secondary school plans, I thought it was timely to highlight the ﬁnancial assistance available to people who wish to explore tertiary study through university or an apprenticeship. The costs associated with attending tertiary education in another town or city is often the biggest barrier for students from regional, rural,

and remote Australia. The former coalition government recognised this and implemented a number of improvements to eligibility criteria to ensure more students from regional Australia could access tertiary education without having to face the ﬁ nancial barrier. A range of assistance is available to students including Youth Allowance for students

and Australian Apprentices, Austudy, ABSTUDY, the Student Start-up Loan, the Tertiary Assistance Payment, and the Relocation Scholarship. Eligibility criteria for each of these payments varies, so it is important to contact Services Australia before starting a claim. For more information about ﬁ nancial assistance for tertiary students visit the Services Australia website.

Labor’s first budget in over a decade brings debate over “fresh start” By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW Labor party have handed down their fi rst state budget in over a decade with the treasurer Daniel Mookhey calling the event a “fresh start” for the state. In a broad view of the state’s fi nancial position, the treasury is forecasting that the budget deficit is to reach $7.8 billion this fi nancial year, however the budget also has some unexpected surpluses. The state is expected to post an $844 million surplus in 2024/25, a $1.6 billion surplus in 2025/26 and a $1.5 billion surplus in 2026/27. These surpluses are driven by an increase in mining royalties by 2.6 per cent, the fi rst time there’s been an increase since 2009. The surpluses are also a result of cuts to other government programs, freezes on pay rises to politicians and top public servants for two years, reducing the 4000 executive staff members in government, reducing contracts with consultants and labour-hire companies as well as revenues from the booming housing market through stamp duties and land taxes. Although this appears positive, treasurer Mr Mookhey said, “I’m certainly not going to suggest this surplus is locked and loaded”. The surpluses announced are still dependent on a range of factors such as the war in Ukraine, inflation, and climate change. The treasurer has also made some bold claims for the future of NSW and the direction the government aim to take. In the treasurer’s speech the budget was described as “a new age of public investment that benefits the many, bringing an end to the era of privatisation that handed profits to the few”. The budget contains a vast suite of measures and changes to portfolios and departments across the government. Below is a breakdown of the key highlights from the budget: f The wage cap on public sectors has been removed as of September 1, 2023, with $3.6 billion for an Essential Services Fund to support a new bargaining framework. The government plan to Invest more than $2.5 billion to recruit and retain health workers over four years including recruiting 500 rural and regional paramedics, 1200 nurses and midwives. The government also announced that it will save the jobs of 1112 nurses and midwives from leaving the profession, commence a pay increase to 50,000 healthcare workers and allocate funding over five years to provide incentives to encourage people into the healthcare profession. f There is $5.3 billion in police and community safety. This is focused on rebuilding the police force, with funding for critical police operational radio communicating capabilities, capital works for police infrastructure such as sta-

tions, technology, and equipment, as well as a variety of upgrades and developments for police stations across Sydney. There is also $12 million provided to enhance the DNA testing program capacity, with $15.4 million to create the Criminal Assets Confiscation Team “which will target, investigate and seize ill-gotten wealth of crime kingpins”. f $ 30 million for women in spor t to improve g rassroots facilities. f $353 million over the next four years to support various projects that will bolster drought readiness and resilience in the regions. f Housing is set to receive 2.2 billion in funding. $400 million for Restart NSW for the new Housing Infrastructure Fund to deliver infrastructure for housing supply across the state. $300 million for Landcom to accelerate construction of new homes, with 30 per cent of that for affordable housing. $224 million is comprised of an essential housing package which aims to accelerate delivery of social, affordable, and private homes in regional NSW. This funding is also tasked with providing housing services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families through Services Our Way, with funds to manage urgent priority housing, funding for a modular housing trial, as well as funding to boost housing supply, and reform planning regulations. The remaining funds are for roads, parks, hospitals and schools across Sydney, Lower Hunter, Central Coast, and the Illawarra. f Funding has been provided to deliver transparency, accountability, and fi nancial security to councils across the state with $4.5 million to bolster the capacity of the Office of Local Government, develop a new code of conduct framework and improve the fiscal responsibility of councils. $102 million has been provided to ensure local government elections go ahead in 2024, and $78.5 million has been set aside to assist pensioners with cost-of-living pressures. f There is funding through the Connecting Seniors grant program which is aimed at engaging older people and keeping them engaged with their communities. The grant supplies $600,00 to create opportunities for seniors to engage in social activities and learn new skills. f In environmental matters, $172 million has been provided to build the Great Koala National Park and protect koala habitats in south and south-western Sydney by creating the Georges River National Park and supporting local koala care organisations. The budget has allocated $272 million in funding for the Environment and Heritage portfolio, $74 million over four years to invest in visitor infrastructure in NSW national parks, $22 million over four years to increase national park field officers and $61 mil-

lion over four years to help private landholders protect the most at-risk landscapes and threatened species. f The budget is providing $97 million over four years to deliver “justice in a timely and efficient manner through NSW courts and tribunals”. The funding will also be used to support victims and prevent abuse. f 1.2 billion has been budgeted for arts, culture, music, night-time, and experience tourism economy programs across the state. f There’s $100 million for women’s health and wellbeing, particularly 18.6 million for more breast cancer nurses, $20 million health centres for women, $52.7 million for 48 new sexual assault nurse examiners and forensic officer in healthcare services. There’s also been funding provided to support those experiencing family and domestic violence. f A substantial $72.3 billion is being provided to deliver new and improved transport infrastructure. The funding is allocated across a broad range of projects throughout Sydney. $15.8 billion of the investment is for Transport NSW to improve real time bus tracking for passengers and boost bus services across NSW. f $26 million is for new emergency service communications upgrades as well as disaster resilience and response recovery programs, early warning detection systems for fires and floods, and hazard reduction funding to invest in bushfi re season preparedness. f The gambling reform continues with the NSW government to spend $100 million in funding to reduce gambling harm across NSW. Despite the range of funding provisions and allocations there are still a lot of areas in which the government has decided to cease supporting, reduced support or decided to not follow through with previous plans. The electric vehicle rebate of $3000 from the coalition government has been stopped, a move criticised by the electric vehicle council. Renters and people experiencing housing stress are going to have to wait before the funding that has been provided will equate in a greater supply of homes. There is also little to no relief for renters managing increased rent prices. Within the budget the NSW government has also provided funding for regional areas with funding for each region in NSW. Several services and industries are identified by the government to benefit from budget decisions. However, not all services are funded and there are some exceptions with health, education, transport, and transport infrastructure the big winners.

Regional NSW ACROSS regional NSW the budget stipulates that $3.8 bil-

lion will be provided for regional health facilities. $1.4 billion for regional schools, $390 million for the Regional Emergency Road Repair Fund, $334 million for the Regional Roads Fund, $350 million in the Regional Development Trust fund, $250 million in the Working Regions Fund, $298.5 million in support for agricultural industries and $438.6 million for 500 regional paramedics. Regional areas will especially beneﬁt from the Regional Development Trust Fund which will strategically invest in four focus areas: 1. Sustainable regional industries, including emerging and engine industries. 2. Aboriginal economic development and enterprise. 3. Community infrastructure and capacity building. 4. Improving regional service delivery. Funding decisions of the trust will be guided by a new Regional Development Advisory Council that will also play a key role in engaging communities to update the Regional Development Act. This legislation requires a makeover so it can better deliver on its economic and social growth objectives. As part of the reforms, the NSW government will: f Seek community input on updating the Regional Development Act 2004 to better reﬂect the priorities of regional and remote communities. f Make a starting investment of $350 million into the Regional Development Trust. f Establish the Regional Development Advisory Council to provide governance and expert advice on the priority matters requiring the Trust’s investment and advising on the reform of the Regional Development Act.

Central West and Orana AS part of the budget papers for the 2023/24 ﬁ nancial year, the government have announced funding for projects and services within the Central West and Orana region. These are all categorised into the kind of services, utilities, and industries, in the region while also setting aside funding for environmental projects and management. For health services in the region there is $306.3 million for Dubbo Health Service Redevelopment. This is just a reiteration of funding that had already been allocated in the 2022 budget by the coalition government. There’s $200 million for the Bathurst Hospital Redevelopment, $117.9 million for Orange Base Hospital Cyclical Maintenance and $110.2 million for the Cowra Hospital Redevelopment. In the transport category, the government has put forward $187.2 million for the Parkes Bypass on the western outskirts of Parkes. This is part of the Newell High-

way upgrades which is jointly funded between the NSW and the Australian government. $187.2 million for duplication on the Little Hartley to Lithgow section of the Great Western Highway at Cox’s River Road. $146.8 million for the new Dubbo Bridge to improve traffic congestion in Dubbo and enhance access across the Macquarie River during ﬂood events also jointly funded. $129.6 million for duplication of the Great Western Highway through the Medlow Bath urban area. $127.5 million to develop projects on the Main Western Rail Line to upgrade and improve capacity for passenger and freight rail services and support economic growth in regional NSW. $2.0 million to investigate ﬂood mitigation solutions on the Newell Highway between West Wyalong and Forbes, jointly funded again. Environment and planning in the region is receiving $64.8 million for a new purpose-built office hub in Dubbo. It is proposed that the hub will accommodate up to 650 workers from across government agencies. The government hopes that this will improve cross-agency collaboration and service delivery across western NSW. While the Aboriginal Housing Office is to be funded $10.6 million to deliver new and upgraded quality homes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Another $40.9 million is being provided for the construction of the NSW Police Dubbo Regional Education and Training Centre, with grant money of $5.5 million also going towards the Coonamble Artesian Bathing Experience, with more funding being directed towards the Central West and Orana Renewable Energy Zone.

Budget responses IN response to the NSW 2023/24 budget, the member for Barwon, Roy Butler, has said that although the region remains well funded, “the abolition of the ‘Resources for Regions’ program will directly affect the quality of life of all people living in the 26 local government areas previously eligible for program funding.” Mr Butler also said that it was encouraging that regional delivery structures remain intact with the “additions of the newly funded Regional Development Trust Fund with $350 million in funding and the new Working Regions Fund with $250 million will oversee regional grants.” Mr Butler concluded by arguing that more work needs to be done to ensure the grant process is streamlined while communities which rely upon the mining industry will be impacted by the governments budget decision. These communities need to be recognised for future funding processes, argued the local MP for Barwon. Continued next page

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, September 27, 2023 Local Government NSW (LGNSW) pointed out that the budget offers little for improvements to the fi nancial sustainability of local government. This is despite the NSW government trying to “strike a balance between investing inessential state infrastructure and services, addressing cost of living pressures while also seeking to ensure sustainable fiscal management to bring about a return to surplus in future years.” The Country Mayors Association also criticised the government’s budget for failing to do more for council sustainability. “Our members and their communities told us very clearly; they need help with financial sustainability. “They need help with transport and roads, with

health, with housing, and with the labour shortage, said CMA chairman mayor Jamie Chaffey. “While there are glimmers of hope among the budget documents, the 202324 NSW Budget does not send a message of support to all the councils and the millions of regional and rural people they represent. There are no surprises, and there is nothing that will help regional councils deal with the escalating costs, the increasing demands, and the massive tasks that they are faced with,” said MR Chaffey. The CMA continued to criticise the budget by expressing their disappointment that the large portion of funding allocated within the budget is going towards Western Syndey. The CMA chairman point-

ed out that over the next four years there is to be $14 billion in investment for Western Sydney while regional NSW is set to receive $1.8 billion for new investment. The CMA chairman did note that the association was happy to see funding for additional paramedics, nurses transitioning from part-time to full-time, energy rebates and ﬁ rst home buyers. Liberal and Nationals parties both criticised the government and the budget details by condemning the choices made by the government. The Liberal party has claimed that the budget is full of broken promises, with programs like Active Kids having 85 per cent of its funding cut. According to the Liberal party, the government have also backﬂ ipped on several

key election promises, with one of the key criticisms from the Liberal party targeting the government’s method to fund the wage increases for nurses and teachers. As well as the Liberal party, the National’s also took aim at the government for cutting initiatives like the Regional Seniors Card, Creative Kids, and First Lap Learn to Swim vouchers. The leader of the NSW Nationals, Mr Saunders described the closure of several funds and programs as a “kick in the guts” for regional areas. Mr Saunders identiﬁed the problems of invasive species such as ﬁ re ants and pests like the varroa mite which aren’t being addressed he argued. The Nationals MP also cited water security as a great concern with the gov-

ernment’s decision to not pursue the raising of the wall of Wyangala Dam.

“Labor has unapologetically ripped the rug out from under the regions, inflicting even more pain after a tough few years of fires, floods, and drought. This budget has broken the hearts of families and communities across regional NSW that have been completely left behind by Chris Minns’ city-centric regime,” said Mr Saunders the leader of NSW Nationals.

The 2023/24 budget is the ﬁ rst budget for the NSW Labor party in more than a decade. It shows a clear shift in priorities compared to the previous government.

$ 1.4 billion to fund historic teacher wage increase By ANDREW TARRY WITH the Teachers Federation agreeing to the ﬁ nancial package for wage increases proposed by the NSW government, the minister for education has announced that $1.4 billion in savings has been identiﬁed to ensure the package is funded. The NSW government has said that it will remove waste and duplication while also getting executive teachers “back into the classroom where their expertise is most needed”. The government has announced a series of other steps to reduce spending and redirect it towards teacher wages. These include: f Redirecting a proportion of

discretionary funds that had taken teachers off classroom duties to do admin, at a saving of $414 million over four years. f Reducing programs that don’t directly support schools, including failed recruitment initiatives and unnecessary communications contractors: more than 200and management consultants will no longer be required, saving $411 million over four years. f Applying a savings dividend across each corporate division of the NSW Education Department, saving $328 million over four years. f Removing duplication from programs in digital learning, communications, and management systems, saving $250 million over four years.

f Applying a one-off cost reduction through renegotiated commercial contracts in areas such as IT, telephony, and travel, saving $45 million in the ﬁ rst year. “Paying our teachers is an investment in our state’s future - the education of our kids. Giving teachers the pay rise that they deserve is long overdue, not only is it a mark of respect but we need to recruit and retain more teachers. There are savings to be had from within the system which we can direct back into paying teachers what they are worth. A qualified teacher paid a fair wage in our classrooms will reap dividends in educational outcomes into the future,” said

minister for education and early learning Prue Car. The government states that by implementing the proposed cuts and changes to the education system, will save approximately $268 million in the ﬁ rst year of the new agreement and then $390 million every year for three years. According to the government’s announcement the reforms are not just about funding “essential pay rises, they will return the focus of schools to their core task of educating the future of our state”. As part of the announcement there has been a freeze on the recruitment of non-teaching executive positions while the department reviews school staffing arrangements.

When speaking about the shortage of teachers Ms Car said “principals were loaded up with unnecessary paperwork and were forced to turn to trusted teachers to help. Thousands of teachers were taken away from the classroom and put behind desks because schools were loaded up with paperwork”.

“That has to change. We need our best and brightest teachers back in the classroom where they can really make a difference, applying their experience and skills to mentor teachers and teach our students,” said Ms Car.

A FANTASTIC trio of Warren young-guns starred at the Nyngan Tigers Senior Rugby League end-of-season awards last weekend. Fresh from his Group 11 Player of the Year prize, Fletcher Hunt capped-off an incredible season by taking-out the U18s Players’ Player, U18s Best and Fairest, and Nyngan Tigers’ Player of the Year, awards. With his talent capturing NRL attention, Fletcher now heads to Newcastle next year, where he has signed a three-year contract with the Knights. Sixteen-year-old Maddie Marks also had a stellar season, bagging wins in both the

Junior and Seniors League Tag awards. Maddie won the Best and Fairest prize for the Tigers Seniors’ League Tag, as well as Most Valuable Player in the U17s division. Warren League Tag teammate, Amber Gordon also came home a winner, awarded the coveted Coaches’ Award by team supremo, Alister Quarmby. The Nyngan Tigers had three grades in the finals this year and, although none progressed past the first round, there were promising signs the club has the players and skill base to be a force to be reckoned with next year.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES CONTESTED on a very well-prepared turf track on Saturday, September 23, in the 2000 metres Cultiv8 Financials Grenfell Cup featured a typically patient and polished winning ride by top jockey Mathew Cahill. Not long back from near career ending injuries suffered in a race fall, Cowra-based Cahill rode nine-year-old gelding Would Be King in the cup for Wagga Wagga trainer Doug Gorrel. Iron Ruler attacked Jin Chi

‘Would Be King’ wins Grenfell Cup Phantom for the lead from the outset with the tearaways establishing a 10-lengths lead over Lunar Chara with another lengthy margin to the rest of the field. Undaunted by the track record breaking speed, Mathew Cahill brought Would Be King ($3.40) with a well-timed fi nishing run to win by over two lengths from the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes-trained pair Lunar Chara (Andrew Banks, $6.50) and a tenacious Jin Chi Phantom (Will Stanley, $6.50). Trained at Canberra by Darryl Rolfe, Prior Thoughts ($3.50) was the fi rst leg of a winning double for Mathew Cahill when coming from midfield to beat Biden (Rich-

ard Bensley, $4.60) and Mandalong Princess (Michael Heagney, $2.50 favourite) in the 1400 metres Bromar Engineering and Oliver’s Hardware Maiden Plate. Wangaratta trainer Andrew Dale crossed the border from Victoria to combine with Canberra jockey Richard Bensley to land a winning treble at Grenfell including Dangers in the 1400 metres Crutcher Developments-Loaded Dog Benchmark 58 Handicap. This race was run as a memorial to Michael ‘Slim’ Nealon who contributed a huge amount of voluntary work for the Grenfell Jockey Club and along with Terry Carroll was the instigator of

the Grenfell Guineas which was for several years the leading race for three-yearolds in country NSW. Ridden by Richard Bensley, Dangers ($1.90 fav.) led most of the way to account for Our Blue Moon (Will Stanley, $13) and Golden Eclipse (Shayleigh Ingelse, $5). The other Andrew Dale winners were Crimosa (Richard Bensley, $2.30) in the 1000 metres Mawhoods IGA Benchmark 58 Handicap and Deploy And Destroy (Richard Bensley, $2) which came from last in the 1200 metres O’Connors IH and Grenfell Commodities Class Two Handicap. Favourite backers were off to a good start when the

Gary Nickson, Warwick Farm trained Hez Golden (Michael Heagney, $1.70) led throughout to win the 1000 metres Lachlan Fertilizers Maiden Handicap from Sepearl (Will Stanley, $8) and Brandywine (Jess Del Fari $10).

A highlight of the very successful Grenfell meeting was a presentation to Terry Carroll and his wife Deidre Carroll on their retirement from duties with the Grenfell Jockey Club.

In what must rank as some sort of record in NSW racing, Terry Carroll OAM, assisted by Deidre Carroll OAM, has served 47 years as secretary of Grenfell Jockey Club.

Next week’s edition will be published on Thursday. Deadline is 12pm Tuesday.

Medal in hand; Warren swimming sensation, Bianca Fuller after winning bronze in the 200-metre breaststroke at the Australian National Short Course Championships. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. NO-ONE sees the hours put in by squad swimmers seeking to be their best, with young Warren sensation, Bianca Fuller recently travelling to Sydney to compete at the 2023 Australian National Short Course Championships. Bianca was competing in her pet event, the Women’s Open 200-metre Breaststroke, finishing the heats ranked fourth, just outside her personal-best, but enough to land her a good lane for the Finals on the Saturday evening.

Bianca faced a very good ﬁeld of competitors in the ﬁ nals, but she went out very strong and swam a very consistent race. In a personal-best time of 2.27.01, Bianca claimed bronze — an incredible effort for the dedicated local swimmer. Bianca’s father, Phil Fuller, said he was incredibly proud of Bianca’s efforts, and wished to thank to everyone for their continued support, and also to WRL Engineering for their continued sponsorship.

Champions! Warren Rugby’s end-of-season presentation night The Warren Rugby Club held their 2023 presentation night on Friday evening, celebrating an incredibly-successful year for the Club. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN Rugby Club cappedoff a winning season in style at their annual end-of-season presentation night last Friday. Held at the recently-upgraded Warren Jockey Club, almost 100 players, supporters, and Club members, celebrated the incredibly-successful year that was; with the Puma’s First Grade side claiming the title while Second Grade and the Pumarette’s both ﬁ nished in third place, narrowly missing-out on grand ﬁnal births. President, Tom Noonan, was delighted with results for the year, and extremely grateful for all the support he has had over 2023. “What a year we’ve had; to come away with the Premiership in First Grade, and both

the Pumarette’s and Second Grade ﬁnishing the season in third,” he said. “A big ‘thank you’ must go to our sponsors, committee, and volunteers, who help make our Club great; bring on 2024 — let’s go back-to-back,” Tom added. In the awards, Coach of the Pumarette’s (and Rugby Correspondent for the Warren Star), Harry Gaynor was awarded the coveted “Paul McKay Clubman of the Year”. After several years playing for the Pumas, Gaynor stepped back from playing this year due to injury. However, that didn’t stop him from supporting the Club, becoming an integral part of the rugby community; coaching the Ladies while also supporting the Men’s First and Second Grade coaching

staff and writing the weekly rugby reports for the Star. The Pumarette’s Ladies team had a challenging season, struggling with numbers throughout the year. After just scraping into the top four, they played gallantly in the ﬁ rst Preliminary Final to defeat Coonamble and book a spot in the second round of the play-off. However, the Flamin’ Gulars proved too big a challenge, with the Ladies going down and missing a coveted spot in the home Grand Final. Pumarette winners for the year, were Abby Standing, who was Most Improved, while Captain Kaitlyn Staniforth, was awarded Best and Fairest. The 2023 season had only three teams entered in the Second Grade Western Plains competition and after limited

gametime, the Pumas Second Grade went straight through to the second round of ﬁ nals where they were defeated by Coonamble, ﬁ nishing the year in third place. Coach Mal Smith was incredibly proud of his Second Grade team and said that, although many of the boys didn’t get a lot of gametime throughout the year, they continued to show-up every week for training even though they knew they were unlikely to get a game on the weekends. Winners for Second Grade included Tom Bruce, who was Best Back; Charlie McKascie, who was Best Forward; and Franco Marais, who was Best and Fairest. The Warren Pumas First Grade side claimed the Western Plains premiership, after

a thrilling Grand Final win at home — the fi rst title win in five years and the fi rst Grand Final win at home in 35 years. Players Player for 2023 went to James McLean, while Jack Dowd was awarded Most Improved.
