Glory! Glory! Stellar Glasson/McKay partnership, secures Marthaguy title

By HARRIET GILMORE MOORAMBILLA Voices — the regional choir of excellence that works with children and young people living in regional and remote NSW to create, perform, and record —, were in town earlier this month, making sweet music. This was the 19th year for these inspiring artists who provided free musical skills development workshops at both Warren Central and St Mary’s Parish schools. The trip to Warren was one of 80 workshops throughout north-western NSW in the past few months for the award-winning ensemble, whose mission is to inspire and empower young people to explore their creativity and express themselves through music, dance, and visual arts. The local Warren school groups were among more than 3000 students who participated in the workshop program this year alone. Director and founder of Moorambilla Voices, Michelle Leonard, said she loved being back in Warren again for the workshops. “It’s such a joy reconnecting with so many familiar faces from Warren,” Michelle said.

Premiers! USC Marthaguy after their win against Coonamble on Saturday, securing the Gilgandra District Cricket Association’s Grand Final, for the third time in five years. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. By DOUG FREETH A FANTASTIC batting display by two top local hitters, secured victory over the weekend for a plucky bunch of cricketers representing one of our smallest rural communities.

Due to the Easter Long Weekend, the Warren Star will be published on Thursday instead of Wednesday next week. Deadline is on Tuesday. WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND!

The USC Marthaguy side headed to Gilgandra on Saturday to contest the Gilgandra District Cricket Association’s Grand Final against Coonamble. This was the fourth meeting of the season between Coonamble, the reigning premiers,

and Marthaguy, the minor premiers, so the teams knew each other well, and had developed a healthy rivalry. The weather was threatening and, with reports of rain all morning in Warren, it made for some tough decisions at toss-time. Cap-

tain Andrew Freeth won the coin flip again, and decided to bat. Coonamble’s opening bowlers, however, started well on target, with runs hard to come by.

OPINION By LUCIE PEART, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER OF WARREN STAR, COUNTRY PRESS NSW INC PRESIDENT A BIG challenge with running a newspaper these days is that many people don’t want to pay for news. And now Meta, the owner of Facebook, doesn’t either. Meta claims that news makes up less than three per cent of what people around the world see in their Facebook feed and that news is a small part of the Facebook experience for the vast majority of users. This three per cent ﬁgure is impossible to believe. It may be that Facebook only serves up three per cent of news content to users because they control the algorithms, and the content people see. And this three per cent is now the basis for Meta not renewing agreements for Australian news media businesses like mine. By contrast, two recent studies found that 4550 per cent of Facebook users go to Facebook to access news. Go ﬁgure. It is clear that Facebook doesn’t want you to see trusted and credible news on its platform. News isn’t free to produce or distribute, and it’s only getting more expensive. So, who pays for that? Newspaper publishers can’t charge $10 per weekly edition because few would buy the product, but that amount is quickly becoming a fair assessment of the costs involved. Print is still the preferred product in regional areas. Something held dearly by communities – it’s their paper – we are just the caretakers. But here’s the catch, more and more it seems to be someone else’s responsibility to support the newspaper through paid advertising. But whose fault is that? The reader because they can only value a weekly digest at a few dollars, the small local business who is also suffering from increased costs and consumer downturn, or the big businesses and governments who have walked away from local print media...?? Or is it the publisher’s fault for not ‘moving with the times’ – except that multiple sources and surveys say our audiences don’t actually want us to. Now we have a situation where the online audience frequents a small handful of social platforms, such as Facebook, that drive traffic to hyper local news sites and mine users’ data for advertising gain. The rivers of gold that were the classifieds have flowed to social media and quickly following is the dissemination of free advertising dressed up as ‘news’ and ‘communimm. Chance of any rain: 5% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Sunny. Winds east to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h tending east to northeasterly during the morning then tending east to southeasterly 15 to 25 km/h during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 11 and 18 with daytime temperatures reaching around 30. Sun protection recommended from 9:50 am to 4:30 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 9 [Very High] Friday, March 29 Min 17. Max 31. Partly Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 10% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Sunny. Winds easterly 15 to 25 km/h becoming light dur-

ty service announcements’. Former newspaper giants also let community advertising move into the ambiguous position of being ‘native’ or mentioned in the editorial text. Seemingly newspaper readers are confused – why should I have to pay to promote my community event when other titles used to or still do give the promotion away for free? Some of our best supporters are our own community groups like Red Cross or Country Women’s Association branches. They gladly pay their $15 for a classiﬁed ad because they value us for the service we provide, and they understand that their $15 is part of a bigger picture. A picture that keeps people employed, provides great opportunities for young journalists, and promotes the cohesion and celebration of a community through the newspaper. Facebook on the other hand, builds you your very own personal echo chamber. You only need to stop scrolling for a second or so and it’s proﬁ led you. Combined with your cookies spread across devices and search history on your phone, your social media feeds know more about you than you do about yourself. Your phone knows you’re pregnant before you’ve told your father. And companies are making millions from the targeted use of that information. What will be left of democracy in regional areas when people only access information which has been curated from their search history or interests on social media. Facebook doesn’t create content, rather it is a cesspool of misinformation which is largely unchecked. The only professionally written, balanced, and credible news on Facebook is supplied by media outlets like mine. And now they don’t want to pay. If regional and local newspapers disappear, media literacy and diversity will be long gone, and our communities will be the big losers. And yes, before you ask, poor print media scraping at the heels of the great disruptor because they didn’t get on the front foot of digital. Perhaps that is a fair comment – but we have a website with hyper local news and guess what – not many paid advertisers. Our websites – a soon to be launched site for The Nyngan Weekly – are all grant funded. Publishers have been encouraged and almost bullied into the digital bias with grants and initiatives designed to ‘support digital transformation and long-term sustainability’. That is kill print and move online which our communities don’t want. But yet where are the digital ads? If governments still don’t want

to buy ads on our local websites, even ones they technically funded, what’s the point? I can’t see how the government can continue to feed tech giants advertising with one hand and reprimand with the other. Continuing to advertise on Facebook while trying to take them to task with the News Media Bargaining Code is just a further hit to the country’s locally owned and produced media outlets. Our content appears on Facebook whether we put it there or not. I often see pictures of articles in our print editions posted – mostly in thanks – by those people or groups featured. That too, is technically a copyright infringement – but I don’t have control over what other people do online – but the platforms do. Our news articles help social media and digital outlets target our audiences and they generate revenue from our content – more revenue than we ever will. The News Media Bargaining Code was designed to correct a market failure where huge ﬁ nancial gains were being made from our content. That’s why you’re hearing a lot about Meta this past month and the potential second ‘great unfriending’ of Australian news outlets. As a regional publisher, we are constantly told how important our role in society is. Well, the time has come to support the industry in a meaningful way that will provide long and short-term sustainability to the industry – that is to advertise now.. The perception that our regional audiences have no value is rubbish – regional Australia is the land of opportunity and it’s about time that was properly recognised. I moved to country NSW as a rookie journalist over a decade ago. I have met two former and one serving prime minister, marched to Sydney with the 2015 Coo-ee March Re-enactment, interviewed some of the most interesting and genuine people (often in times of great need), met lots of celebrities and politicians, met the premier, and met the governor-general twice. Now I own a small print site and four regional newspaper titles. I don’t call that a token career in journalism; that was just the opportunities that living and working in the regions presented me with. We are still the lucky country and I know our audiences and the people will back the under-dog in the ﬁght for setting a precedent with Meta. Otherwise, what have we got legislation for if it can’t be enforced? Somebody’s still got to pay for news, maybe the answer is that we all need to.

Farmers wanted… regenerative cropping survey study, seeking primary producers

Pongy problem at Macquarie Park, as Council looks to CCTV solution By HARRIET GILMORE A MALICIOUS and unsafe criminal deﬁ lement of a local park shocked and angered the Warren community last week, with Warren Shire Council looking to the long-awaited installation of CCTV cameras next month, to combat social problems in the CBD. This commitment by Council follows reports on the Warren Community Facebook page on Monday, March 18, that human faeces, and a toilet roll, had been found in the sand near the Park’s play equipment recently. Community comments on the site, accused Council of failing to address recurring vandalism problems throughout the area. However, Council’s Town Services Manager, Raymond Burns, said that this is simply not the case. He revealed that Council has been working on seeking funding for extending the purchase and installation of CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) throughout town since July last year. “Council staff inspect and rake the sand at both Macquarie Park and Ravenswood Park daily to check for broken glass, needles, and other matter that shouldn’t be there,” Mr Burns said.

Site of a despicable act, Macquarie Park, along with many other public spaces throughout town, will soon feature CCTV coverage, to help deter and catch vandalism culprits.

“Since July 2023, Council had already started the process to install 27 additional CCTV cameras around Warren; Council has also been in discussions with NSW Police regarding the installation of additional CCTV cameras,” Mr Burns added. Vandalism of public spaces continues to be an issue throughout the community, including at Macquarie Park and Splash Park, but Warren Shire Council hopes the installation of the CCTV, will help deter the problem. The roll-out of the improved CCTV system is expected to be completed by

late April and into early May, Mr Burns said. As well as the CCTV systems, Council is also looking to replace the sand at Macquarie Park and Ravenswood Park. Earlier this month, Council released a ‘Request For Tender’ to replace the sand and woodchip that is currently used at Ravenswood and Macquarie Park playground equipment and replace it with rubberised Softfall. Tenders close in early April, with the expectation that works would be carried-out between May and September this year.

Phone 6847 4274 Getting down to the nitty-gritty; Southern Cross University researchers are conducting a regenerative agriculture survey, and need 500 crop farmers to help them. PHOTO: SOUTHERN CROSS UNIVERSITY. ONE of our leading rural-based tertiary institutions, wants to pick the brains of local producers on innovative practices. Southern Cross University (SCU) is searching for 500 crop farmers from across Australia to complete an online survey about regenerative agriculture and farming practices. The survey has the support of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) as part of a recently-announced regenerative agriculture project. Growing interest in regenerative farming practices has seen many on the land pursue alternative solutions for challenges like soil erosion, soil water-holding capacity, landscape health, rising input costs, changing markets and consumer expectations. “This survey aims to understand farmer goals and their alignment with practices in the regenerative agriculture toolkit,” SCU researcher Dr Hanabeth Luke — who is leading the survey component of the project — explained.. “We seek to gauge current perceptions of regenerative agriculture amidst diverse farming systems, this research will help establish the what, as well as the ‘why’ or ‘why not’, of regenera-

tive agriculture in Australian grain production,” she added. The findings will help build an enhanced understanding of grower goals and practices, as well as their perceptions of regenerative agriculture. The SCU research team will then look to recruit 75 crop farmers for a broader, threeyear project to establish effective monitoring of the potential beneﬁts or disadvantages of regenerative agriculture in Australian cropping systems across a range of agronomic, soil health, ecological, social, and economic indicators. Regenerative agriculture techniques have gained popularity in recent years, yet a regulatory or widely-accepted definition remains elusive in Australia. The survey aims to enhance understanding of pertinent farming objectives and potential impacts on soil, land, and business management. To ensure impartiality and independent scientiﬁc rigour throughout the various stages, GRDC has assembled a multi-disciplinary team from SCU’s Faculty of Science and Engineering comprising experts in soil health, agronomy, ecology, rural sociology, and natural capital accounting.

“And they’re off !” Golden Fleece Race Meet and Long Luncheon

Racing at Warren is back for 2024, with the Jockey Club’s first and only Saturday meeting of the year, the Golden Fleece, on Saturday, April 20. PHOTOS: HAYLEY ALTMANN.

A fun day out for all, the Golden Fleece Long Luncheon is back again this year after a sell-out event in 2023.

By HARRIET GILMORE THE thrills, colour, and excitement of bush-racing is back again next month, when the Warren Jockey Club hosts their annual Golden Fleece race meet in April. A “must-do” on the racing calendar for the “Randwick of the West”, the six race Sky2 event, is Warren’s only Saturday meet, with a big day of gallops and entertainment planned. More than 200 local punters enjoyed last year’s Autumn sunshine for the meet, with a sellout crowd also for their inaugural Golden Fleece Long Luncheon. “The Long Lunch is back again this year, bigger and better than ever,” Warren Jockey Club President, Matt Colwell said. “We were thrilled with the success of the event last year,” he added. This prestigious dining event, he explained, has become a central part of the race weekend. ”It was a sell-out for the luncheon, with overwhelmingly positive feedback. “The Golden Fleece is our only Saturday race meet for the year, and I personally think it’s one of our

The Golden Fleece is one of Warren Jockey Club president’s favourite race days of the year.

best; the weather is usually perfect,” Matt believes Guests for the luncheon will enjoy a beautifully-catered meal from ‘Crooked Arrow’, drinks all afternoon from a private bar in the recently-revamped George Falkiner Lounge. Best of all, the venue is air-conditioned throughout with prime viewing of the track ﬁ nish line. “Dubbo musician ‘Sugar Shane’ Riley will also be playing, keeping guests entertained between the races,” Matt revealed. “There will be great prizes up for grabs for bestdressed punters, plus a courtesy bus will be running between town and the track,” he added. The jockey club committee has been working hard the past few years to grow the club and cement its position as one of the Central West’s premier country tracks. “Together with the Warren Shire Council, we’ve been working hard to keep the track in peak condition to help attract top bush horses, trainers, jockeys, and punters to Warren. “Last year, reports from jockeys were extremely positive; they love coming to our track,” continued Matt.

The hard work is helping revive one of the great bush traditions, rural race meetings. “Country races really are an institution and a big part of the social fabric of many towns throughout the area. “They are a great social occasion and opportunity for locals from Warren and throughout the district to get together.” Matt also acknowledged the importance of his dedicated volunteer committee as well sponsors, who help ensure bush racing can continue in Warren. “It’s also really important that I acknowledge our sponsors, the Warren Services Club, MVC Couriers, Macquarie Rock and Sand, Warren IGA, Gordon Welsh and Gallagher Insurance, as well as the jockey club committee and volunteers. “We are very lucky to have such an energetic and dedicated committee, and the continued support of local businesses, their ongoing support ensures we can keep racing,” Matt concluded. Tickets for the Golden Fleece luncheon are on sale now. See advertisement.

FAITH MATTERS

When the incredible is true By ANNITA CAMPBELL OUR present reality seems ﬁ lled with fake news, scams, conspiracy theories, and photoshopped images. It’s easy, maybe even necessary, to be suspicious of everything these days. Then there are real events that still seem too incredible to be true. Luke was medically trained, and knew the events of Jesus’ life were incredible, and outside his observations and normal experience. Like the concept of God becoming a human. Or the healing of people with serious disability or illness. Perhaps most incredible: someone rising to life from death. Like Luke, our experience does not have room for that. The dead stay dead. When Doctor Luke wrote his account

of these events, also known as ‘The gospel of Luke’, he seemed to know the questions his readers might have about these events. At the start of his own record of this incredible time in history, he tells the guy he is writing to: “I’ve carefully investigated everything, and I’ve written the order of events for you. I’ve done this so you can know with certainty that all of this is true.” Luke gives us the results of numerous interviews with eyewitnesses, from Jesus’ mother Mary to the Apostle Peter. He spent time with the key people in the decades that followed. He wrote this record so that you might know with certainty the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Read Luke for the truth about Jesus.

Born in Dublin, Warren View Club’s very own Leprechaun, Pauline Serdity, joined in the St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Marion Brouff and Patti Plunkett.

IT was a touch of the emerald green in celebrating Ireland’s national day at Warren View Club’s monthly luncheon at the Services Club in late March. With a nod to St Patrick’s Day, a sprinkling of green was about at the event, with members adding a touch of Irish to their outﬁts. Our very own Irish lass, Pauline Serdity, deservedly-won the “learning for life” table, which featured items relating to Ireland’s National Day. The very interesting and inspiring guest speaker, Rosie Turnbull of Rosie’s Boutique Honey Mustard Dressing, spoke of the inspiration behind her business and the necessity of looking for off-farm income during the relentless drought around 2005. Sourcing ingredients and making the dressing in her kitchen after a full day in the paddock, with her children helping to peel the onions and putting labels on, it was all hands-on deck. Fortunately, she has four daughters to call on. Rosie started to sell the product at farmers’ markets and the business outgrew the kitchen and a demountable was acquired with husband Simon installing a sink, benches, and stove. Rosie was soon employing staff and,

needing to modernise as the business grew, she initially leased a building in Warren for convenience, acquired a 360-litre kettle, self-stirring and temperature controlled, as well as an onion chopping machine, which made the work less labour-intensive and less physically-exhausting. Redesigning labels, bar-coding and creating a website as the business expanded over the years, was a learning experience for both Rosie and her family. Battling the recent ﬂoods, they managed to keep their customers supplied. She now attends ﬁ ne food shows and markets throughout NSW and interstate, and attends the “Buy From The Bush” campaign in Sydney, where her products are in great demand. Her produce is also available in selected supermarkets and delicatessens. However, Rosie tells us she is still peeling her onions, at home, 40kg at a time! We were all fascinated to hear Rosie’s story and we congratulate her on her perseverance and resilience. The next luncheon will be on Wednesday, April 17, with the “learning for life” table on the theme of “ANZACs”. New members are always most welcome at the club.

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

Bizarre biosecurity bill LAST week in Parliament, I spoke against Labor’s Biosecurity Protection Levy Bill, which proposes to charge farmers for the biosecurity costs of importing products to Australia. To ask Australian farmers to pay for their competitors to bring products into the country, is outrageous, incredibly-concerning, and yet another attack on regional Australia and farmers. The fact that legislation as important as this was debated in the Federation Chamber, and not in the House, is a clear indication of Labor’s contempt for our agriculture sector. I will continue to ﬁght this senseless new tax, because the short-term impact on farmers is great, but the longer-term impact of not having a biosecurity system in place that’s robust, paid for by the people who are introducing risks to this country, is greater.

Energy bills continue to rise under Labor LABOR was elected on a promise to reduce household electricity bills by $275 but, instead, households in the Parkes electorate have been hit with increases of up to $693 under the Albanese Government. This is simply unaffordable for my constituents, who are already suffering under Labor’s out of control cost-of-living-crisis. And while benchmark electricity prices are set to fall for households in broader Sydney and the Central Coast for the 2024-2025 period, there will be a 0.9 per cent increase for residents in regional NSW, as well as a 0.7 per cent increase for small businesses in the bush. Climate Change and Energy Minister, Chris Bowen, is going around touting this as “good news” for Australian consumers, and yet households and small businesses in the Parkes electorate, will be worse off. This just goes to show that, once again, regional Australia is forgotten by this city-centric Labor Government.

Youth crime a complex issue THE issue of youth crime has been putting towns across my electorate in the spotlight for

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, spoke against the Biosecurity Protection Levy Bill in Parliament last week. all the wrong reasons over the past few weeks, so I felt compelled to weigh-in. While I welcome any practical solutions that will reduce juvenile crime and make people feel safe in their homes, I worry that the NSW Government’s package will just endup being yet another band-aid approach that fails to address the underlying problem. Until we address the fact that, all too often, small children are left in dangerous situations when they should be removed, nothing will change.

I strongly believe that the rights of the child should come before those of the adult and, if a child’s safety is at risk, intervention is needed. There are many wonderful organisations in the Parkes electorate working to make a difference for our young people, and I commend them on what they’re doing. I believe education is the key to empowering our children to aspire to a better life, helping to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and welfare dependency. I also think we need to

focus on more early intervention initiatives for children in preschool and early primary school. Often, by the time these children are in high school, it’s too late. It’s a deeply complex and complicated issue that will not be ﬁ xed overnight or by a bucketload of money. But the earlier we can intervene and ensure our children feel safe and loved and have access to a good education, the better the outcomes will be.

New blood for Parkes electorate — Coulton retiring at next federal poll LONG-SERVING Member for Parkes, the National Party’s Mark Coulton, announced on Monday, March 25, that he is retiring. “It is with mixed emotions, that I announce that I will not be contesting the seat of Parkes at the next federal election,” the local representative and former minister, revealed on the poll to be held by September next year. “It has been an incredible honour to represent the people of the Parkes electorate for more than 16 years, but the time has come for me to step aside,” he added. Mr Coulton has held the seat since November 2007 for The Nats, and regularly posts about his travels across the vast electorate on social media and via his website. Created in 1984 and named after the seventh premier of NSW — the ‘Father of Federation’ Sir Henry Parkes — the electorate sprawls across the north-western corner of NSW, with about 110,000 registered electors. “I’ve spent the past 16 years travelling hundreds of thousands of kilometres across my electorate, getting to know the strong and vibrant communities I represent,” Mr Coulton said in his announcement on Monday.

Time to say goodbye, long-serving member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, recently announced he will not contest the next election and planned to retire at the 2025 poll. PHOTO: OFFICE OF MARK COULTON. “It has been a great privilege and I’m extremely proud of everything we’ve been able to achieve over that time,” he said.

He added, however, that now was the time for some new blood in the party and for the region. “It’s time for a fresh face to

take-up the baton, and I’m looking forward to the members of The Nationals in the Parkes electorate, ﬁ nding a suitable replacement who can continue to provide strong representation in Canberra. “In the meantime, I will continue to proudly represent this wonderful electorate with the utmost enthusiasm until the next election,” Mr Coulton concluded. Leader of the federal Nationals, David Littleproud, after the announcement, thanked Coulton for his decade-and-ahalf public duty. “It is no easy feat to serve in parliament for 16 years; but Mark has served with the utmost integrity and has been a trusted source of advice and guidance to those around him,” Mr Littleproud said. “He has fought for better regional services and has served in the ministry in regional health, regional communication and local government, as well as assistant minister for trade, tourism and investment. Mr Littleproud said Mr Coulton was a highly-respected member of parliament who served the Parkes electorate and his nation with enormous integrity and hard work: “Mark is a strident advocate for Inland Rail and the beneﬁts it will deliver to his local

communities, industries and regional Australia.” Mr Littleproud added that Mr Coulton — who is also the National Party’s chief parliamentary whip — previously worked as a farmer and grazier, and his skills and experience had been invaluable to the issues facing regional Australians. “Mark has covered his 393,413-square kilometre electorate with dedication, having also been the former mayor of Gwydir Shire Council,” Mr Littleproud said. “His real-world and real-life experience enabled him to stand up for the challenges regional communities face.” In a profession known for sometimes abrasive personalities and outsized egos, Coulton had always remained a true country gentleman, Mr Littleproud said. “While working hard, Mark has had a smile on his face and been a pleasure to have on-board. “He has served with conviction and never wavered in his beliefs; our party and, indeed, our nation is better for having Mark Coulton on the team, and we thank him for his service,” Mr Littleproud concluded.

MESSAGE FROM DUTY MLC, DUBBO ELECTORATE By STEPHEN LAWRENCE

WELL, the year is f lying by, with Easter nearly here. The first parliamentary sitting week took place in February, followed by three weeks of Budget Estimates hearings, and another fortnight of parliament has just come to an end. I have been busy of late with

committee work, including an inquiry into the culling of feral horses in the Kosciuszko National Park and hearings in Wagga and Dubbo of the Joint Select Committee on Protecting Regional Water Utilities from Privatisation. I want to let you know of some signiﬁcant policy announcements the Government has recently made. We will construct 100 new public preschools across the state. This will ensure access to high quality and affordable preschools in areas of particular need. Half will be in regional NSW. A key part of this policy, of which I am particularly proud, is that the locations for the

Turn-off the lights; regional NSW missing-out on power bill relief

new centres have been chosen by an independent panel of experts on the basis of need. We will commit $60 million to continue the successful Wellbeing and Health In-reach Nurse (WHIN) Coordinator program. Since the program started in 2018, more than 10,000 school students, in over 400 schools, have been supported by wellbeing nurses. In the electorate of Dubbo, nurses will cover Trangie Central School, Narromine High School, Narromine Public School, Dubbo College Delroy Campus, Dubbo West Public School, Dubbo North Public School, Dubbo Public School, Buninyong Public School, Orana Heights Public School, Wellington High School, and

Wellington Public School. A key focus of ours is dealing with the cost-of-living crisis and some of the measures being undertaken include: f Private rental assistance through programs including Rent Choice, Advance Rent and Bond Loan to help eligible people get into or maintain a rental lease. f A $250 Pensioner Concession Rebate Scheme on ordinary council rates and charges. f A new program of $500 fee relief per child to help with the costs of three-year-olds in long day care at eligible preschools. f Increasing the Family Energy Rebate by 39 per cent to $250, from 1 July 2024. f Increasing the Seniors Energy Rebate by 25 per cent to

$250, from 1 July 2024.

f Increasing the Low-Income Household Rebate and Medical Energy Rebate by 23 per cent to $350, from 1 July 2024.

f Free ambulance services for certain concession holders, with other exemptions including for people who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or child abuse.

We are a government with a clear focus, spending money responsibly and ethically so we can provide support and improve our essential services.

Please get in touch if I can be of assistance or if you have suggestions for the new Labor government.

Wayne and Dennis victorious on Norm Wilson Memorial Day

By HARRIET GILMORE IN a blow to people living in the bush, regional NSW residents and small businesses are set to miss-out on recently-announced power bill relief. The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) last week released its draft benchmark for electricity prices, known as the “Default Market Offer (DMO)”, which revealed much of regional NSW could see an increase to their power bills, while Sydney could see prices drop by up to almost 10 percent. Warren residents could see their bills increase by almost one percent per year and small businesses by 0.7 percent, while Sydney residents could see their prices drop by three percent with small business in Sydney, down by 9.7 percent. The proposed prices set-out by the AER, are subject to public consultation and stakeholder feedback, along with updated network and wholesale costs, with fi nal prices set to be released in May. AER Chair, Clare Savage, said that a range of costs are factored into this draft determination, including wholesale and network costs and environmental and retail costs. “We know that economic conditions have put pressure on many Australians, and the increases in electricity prices over the last two years, has made energy less affordable for many households. In light of this, the AER has, in this decision, placed increased weight on protecting consumers,” Ms Savage said. “While wholesale markets have stabilised since their extreme peaks of 2022, this easing has been offset by the pressures we are observing in network prices; poles and wires costs are a large component of retail prices, comprising around 40 percent of the price,” she added. Regulations require the AER to set a reasonable per-customer annual price, taking into account the costs of supply, while also enabling retailers to make a reasonable profit. Guided by the Government, the AER must balance the protection of customers while allowing retailers to make a “sufficient margin”. This year, in the face of cost-of-living pressures, power ministers requested the AER to prioritise the protection of customers from “unjustifiably-high prices”. Ms Savage said she welcomed recent data showing retailers were dropping prices, with average discounts of between one and five percent available across most areas. Some of the most competition areas are offering discounted rates of up to 23 per cent. She said retailers are required to reveal on the front of all bills at least every 100 days, if they can offer you a better deal. She encouraged consumers to shop-around to ensure they are getting the best deal, and to check for concessions and rebates. Bill relief is also currently offered by the Commonwealth and NSW Government. “If you’re struggling to pay your bills, contact your retailer as soon as possible because, under national energy laws, they must assist you,” Ms Savage concluded.

“Moorambilla Voices” magic, makes its musical mark on Warren students From page 1 “The energy and resilience of the community, is apparent in the fabulous candidates I saw in workshops at the two schools,” she added. She said that pupils from the two cohorts could also later contribute to the group’s next collaborative musical and performative creation. “I can’t wait to work with them as we create ‘Riversong: Spirit Of Water’. “The creative capacity of the youth in regional Australia, continues to inspire me,” she enthused. In the almost two decades since Moorambilla was founded, more than 300 Warren children have attended the residency camps and been a part of the inspiring choirs and musical ensembles. The Moorambilla team is currently working through auditions from the talent pool throughout the region, with offers expected to be made to students to continue their Moorambilla journey and join the Baradine residency camps by the end of the school term, Michelle said. “These camps are an opportunity for students with an interest in extending their musical skills to do so in a fun, creative environment,” she said “And ultimately to participate in our September Gala Concert at the Dubbo Regional Theatre,” Michelle concluded.

Gulargambone hosts first-ever “Friendships in Rugby” Day

SPORT is a great way to bring communities together; with the fi rst-ever “Friendships in Rugby Day” at Gulargambone, highlighting the game’s new push into making the 15-a-side code, more accessible to everyone. Teams from across the Western Plains and Central West gathered at the home of the Galahs on Saturday, March 16, for this very special event. Including teams from the the Macquarie Emus Junior Rugby Club, the gala event featured Under 8s, 10s and 12s junior matches, before fi nishing-up with a marquee fi xture. A great day, it is estimated that more than 500 people attended Gulargambone Oval across the entire program. Randwick’s second grade Colts side also made the trek to Gulargambone to play a Gular Galahs invitational

side, made-up predominantly of Gulargambone and Coonamble players. As expected, the “Galloping Greens” scored a comfortable win in their ﬁ xture, for a celebration for the game in which the scoreboard didn’t really matter, NSW Rugby Union Development Officer, Mark Pitts said. Pitts is based at Tooraweenah, but covers the Western Plains area in his role and has even travelled beyond that to Wilcannia. He added that a highlight of the day, was Gulargambone’s Under 12s side having great numbers and scoring a good win against the Central West’s Wellington Redbacks. That match wrapped up a junior program that included teams and players from the Macquarie Emus (Warren, Nyngan and Trangie), Wellington, Walgett, Bourke, and

Carinda all represented. Around 180 players linedup in all grades with 115 new junior registrations making it a successful day. NSW Rugby Union also partnered with Fair Dinkum Choices, to provide free health checks and rugby registrations for all Western Plains junior players at the event. “We want rugby to be a game that everyone can come and try,” Pitts said. “We plan to have rugby available in all schools across Western Plains as our NSW (Rugby) team keeps building; when people play the game, they enjoy the open-nature of it,” he added. Pitts said that another upcoming junior gala day at Gulargambone in May, should help rugby build on the success of this inaugural event. Within the Western Plains

Tim Whitely helps teach juniors the art of scrummaging. boundaries, clubs play gala days on Sundays or Friday nights, which means people can play rugby union without it clashing with other Saturday junior sports. The Macquarie Emus, who recently travelled to Sydney to play a curtain-raiser for the NSW Waratahs, are still ﬁ nalising their schedule for the year, however they conﬁ rmed a meeting this week will soon reveal the details for the season ahead. Pitts revealed that studies suggest 85 per cent of children play sport simply to learn new skills, spend time with their friends, and have fun, while only about 15 per cent have ambitions to go as far as possible in their chosen game. The ‘Gulargambone Giant’, Warwick Waugh, was pivotal in Randwick attending. He coaches the Second

Grade Colts side that made the trek west. Waugh, 55, who hails from Gulargambone, played eight Test matches for the Wallabies and helped build the proﬁ le of Gular, thanks to iconic rugby commentator, Gordon Bray’s famous alliterative moniker he ascribed to him. Gulargambone Rugby Union Committee also acknowledged Pitts’ efforts to make the day happen, along with NSW Junior Rugby Union, NSW Rugby, Castlereagh Connection, Gulargambone Lions Club, and CTG Aboriginal Health. “It was a true example of a community working together to celebrate bush rugby,” Gulargambone Rugby Union later stated on its Facebook Page.

Glory! Glory! Stellar Glasson/McKay partnership, secures Marthaguy title

Zone President, Jamie Zell, presents Marthaguy Captain Andrew Freeth with the Bendigo Bank ABC Shield at the Gilgandra District Cricket Association’s Grand Final.

Marthaguy celebrating one of Ben Storer’s three wickets

James Glasson’s near-faultless performance helped secure Marthaguy’s victory in the Gilgandra District Cricket Association’s Grand Final, scoring an incredible score of 102 not-out.

From page 1 The Coonamble attack struck in the ﬁ fth over, when Andrew gloved one to the keeper for four. James Glasson then joined Ben Storer, and the two steadied the innings. The pair then rotated the strike well and ticked the score along until, in the 15th over and the score on 30, Ben was caught for eight. Drinks were taken and Johny McKay then joined James for the second session. After Johny survived an early LBW shout, there was plenty of “chat” in the field. The banter was quickly halted by Johny launching two big sixes and igniting some quick scoring. James joined-in with some remarkable stroke-play and, by the second drinks break at 30 overs, Marthaguy had moved to two for 92. The platform was therefore laid for a mammoth total with two set batsman and wickets in hand. Both Johny and James opened the shoulders and pushed the ball to all parts of the ground, all the while running hard between wickets. As a ﬁ ne reward for their

concentration, both were able to raise their bats for their half-centuries, but they weren’t finished yet. Finally, in the 41st over with the score on 186, the partnership was broken when Johny was caught for 76. The two had put on 156 runs in 26 overs, an incredible partnership in the biggest game of the year. With three overs to go, Hugh Duncan joined James and the two looked to go big in the final four overs. Two overs later, Hugh was caught deep on the boundary for two. James’s father Mark Glasson joined him to fi nish the innings off. In the fi nal over, James pushed one deep for two to score his maiden century, a moment made more special by being able to share it in the middle with his father. It was an incredible innings admired by all at the ground. A near-faultless display of batting by James, who fi nished unbeaten on 102, had guided Marthaguy to an impressive total of 4/207. For Marthaguy, the job was only half-done. Coonamble, with-it all-in front of them,

went hard from the start. Marthaguy opening bowler Jack, however, had total control of the ball and looked the goods, but Coonamble went hard at Doug Freeth and began to score freely from that end. Jack broke the dangerous partnership in the seventh over, when he bowled danger-man Mark Stewart, for 17. Jack fi nished his fi rst spell with the impressive figures of 1/7 off only five overs. Coonamble however, had managed to get to drinks and were still well in the game at 1/49, but with a lot of work to do. Hugh Duncan and Ben Storer took-up the bowling attack and made scoring difficult for Coonamble. Straight after drinks, some handy glovework by Johny McKay had Coonamble number three, Kane Barry, stumped off Ben Storer with score now 2/50. Two overs later, Ben struck again, after opener Joel Godson skied one to Hugh Maunder on the boundary, who safely took the catch. With two new batters at the crease, Marthaguy was now right on top. Coonamble had moved the score along to 69 be-

fore Ben picked-up his third wicket with a great low catch at slip by Hugh Duncan. James Glasson came onto bowl and joined the party in his second over, when he got the big wicket of Coonamble Captain, Tyne Chapman, caught by Andrew Freeth. James struck once more before drinks, dismissing big-hitter Elgy McEwen for two. The second drinks were then taken at the 30-over mark, it had been an amazing session by Marthaguy with 5/34 for the session to now have Coonamble now 6/83 at drinks, needing 125 of the remaining 15 overs. Blake Chapman showed some resistance and Coonamble moved to 102 before Jack Irving stuck for his second wicket. In the next over, James picked up his third after bowling Blake for 19. Marthaguy didn’t let up, as Jack picked-up his third wicket in the next over, before a “caught and bowled” by Doug Freeth sealed the victory for Marthaguy. Coonamble were all-out for 111 and, in the end, it was a commanding victory by USC Marthaguy.

The partnership between Johny and James was the clincher, described by Zone President, Jamie Zell as: “the best grand fi nal partnership I have seen in years”. The 150-run stand set a great platform for Marthaguy bowlers to aim at without much pressure. This resulted in a great bowling performance, highlighted by Jack Irving who took 3/28 off nine; Ben Storer with 3/13 off nine; and James Glasson 3/20 off eight. James Glasson was awarded Man of the Match after his unbeaten 102 with the bat and 3/20 with the ball; a real dayout for James! Captain Andrew Freeth was presented the Bendigo Bank ABC Shield for the third time in five years by Zell. Andrew, with the support of his team,also congratulated all their supporters, and the Zone administration and executive for running a flawless competition. Credit was also given to Mick George for his organising of the Marthaguy cricket team for the year; his effort and dedication was appreciated by the whole team!
