Fire at Macquarie Park — vandal problem growing STORY: PAGE 4

Water under the bridge, overrecovered flows not coming back, Coulton claims By HARRIET GILMORE IT’S water under the bridge, and “over-recovered” flows from the Macquarie Valley, unfortunately, won’t be coming back, Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton claimed last week. Mr Coulton said that despite calls for it to be returned, the excess water from the f lows, wouldn’t be re-allocated for farming, but instead would go to meeting environmental targets. In a media release, Mr Coulton said that the Federal Minister for the Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek MP, had said it was her intention, to re-purpose the almost 40GL of water over-recovered from the Macquarie Valley, to the 450GL of additional environmental water required as part of the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

Expanded project — Macquarie River cleanup starts next week By HARRIET GILMORE WORK on an extensive project to clean-up the Macquarie River is expected to begin next week, with an informative community session recently held on the initiative. More than 20 interested community members and stake-holders met with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in late March to discuss the upcoming work to remove log-jams, rubbish, and other debris, along a morethan 55 kilometre stretch of the river. In good news for the river and its supporters, the project, which was intended last year to only remove man-made debris from just two of seven “rafts” (log-jams) along the river, has now been expanded. The work is to now include the removal of most of the debris, rubbish, and identifiable woody weed debris, including willows, from the river and banks all the way from the Warren Top Weir all the way to Marebone Weir — around 180 kilometres in total, as the river flows. News of the expanded project was well-received by community members at the information session, with many surprised that the project was actually going

By HARRIET GILMORE PROGRESS on extensive road repairs required after the flooding of recent years is continuing, but more funding is needed, Warren Shire Council has revealed. Five major rainfall events between March 2021 and September 2022, caused widespread damage to roads throughout the district. Council has, since then, been working through the complex process of funding and damage repair of these thoroughfares. In order to fund the works, however, Council must fi rst lodge a natural disaster declaration to both NSW Reconstruction Authority and Transport for NSW (TfNSW), with the claims then forwarded on to the Commonwealth Government for final approval. If a “disaster declaration” is then signed-off, as it was for Warren for floods in November 2021, June 2022, August 2022, and September 2022, TfNSW then gives Council approval to commence “Emergency Works” to fi rst make the roads safe, before funding for full repairs, is approved. An example of these emergency works, was when aggregates were spread on the Carinda Road to permit all-weather access. After these patch-up projects, Council then makes an application for “Immediate Reconstruction Works” funding to make urgent and permanent repairs to essential assets damaged in the disaster, such as the repair works to the Ellengerah Road, Udora Road, Collie-Trangie mm. Chance of any rain: 95% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Cloudy. Very high chance of rain. The chance of a thunderstorm. Heavy falls possible in the south. Winds east to southeasterly 20 to 30 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to around 14 with daytime temperatures reaching between 19 and 23. Sun protection recommended from 10:10 am to 4:10 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 7 [High] Saturday, April 6 Min 13. Max 24. Showers. Possible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm. Chance of any rain: 60% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy. High chance of showers in the south, medium chance elsewhere. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds east to southeasterly 15 to
Road, and Marthaguy Road. Those roads that don’t qualify for Immediate Reconstruction Works, but are still damaged, therefore need to have requests lodged to TfNSW for repairs, with Council required to collate information and photo evidence pre and post-flood, and estimated costings for assessment. TfNSW then submits these requests to the Commonwealth Government for approval under Essential Public Asset Reconstruction Works (EPA RW). Only once this is approved, can Council begin work to repair the damage. In discussing the repair works, Warren Shire Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley, said that Council has been working to repair the damage caused by excessive rainfall and flooding over the past few years. “These five back-to-back flooding events, caused significant issues across many of our local roads,” Cr Quigley said. “But obtaining the appropriate funding to repair them is a complex process, and we’re required to work through several steps across all levels of governments,” he added. This torturous process, he explained, made the long delays for full repairs, seem quite unacceptable to many ratepayers. “As a result, the time from when the actual damage occurs, to when the road is repaired, is often far-lengthier than we would hope. “While some residents may be frustrated with the speed of progress, Council crews have been working as
25 km/h tending south to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h during the morning then tending northwest to southwesterly during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to around 13 with daytime temperatures reaching the low to mid 20s. Sun protection recommended from 10:10 am to 4:10 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 7 [High] Sunday, April 7 Min 13. Max 25. Partly Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 5% Monday, April 8 Min 13. Max 27. Partly Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 5% Tuesday, April 9 Min 14. Max 26. Partly Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 10%
quickly and safely as possible to repair the damage,” Cr Quigley said. Warren General Manager, Gary Woodman, added that, throughout the process, community and motorist safety, remained of paramount importance. “Safety is our top priority, and our fi rst focus is always ensuring that any road section damaged by flooding is made safe for motorists through Emergency Works and Immediate Reconstruction Works funding,” Mr Woodman said. “Council has completed Emergency Works and Immediate Reconstruction Works for all five of the flooding events experienced between March 2021 to September 2022, and we’re now working to obtain the remaining funding required to fully rectify the damage,” he added. Mr Woodman assured residents that Council was well-aware of the sub-optimal condition of some local thoroughfares, including Carinda Road, and was expediting repairs, when funding was received. “It just isn’t feasible, for Council to fund these significant repairs from our existing budget, and we rely on support and funding from the State and Federal Governments,” Mr Woodman said. “Unfortunately, their approval process takes time, but we’re endeavouring to restoring our roads as soon as we can,” he concluded. As always, Council also encourages road-users and residents, to drive to the current road conditions and report any issues to Council.

Podiatry service now at Trangie
Goodbye NAB, welcome CBA! Shire banking move complete By HARRIET GILMORE
Verity Wright has brought Foundations Workshop Podiatry to Trangie. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.
By SHARON BONTHUYS DID you know a dedicated podiatry service is now available in Trangie? Foundations Workshop Podiatry has been operating locally for about six months, providing this valuable and much needed allied health service in the heart of Trangie. Based in the Empower Exercise and Physiology and Nutrition facility in Narromine Street, Trangie, Foundations Workshop Podiatry brings the services of former Sydney-based podiatrist Verity Wright to the area. “I worked in Sydney for ten years and have a very sports medicine focused background with a strong interest in biomechanics, pain management and chiropractics,” Ms Wright said. “I moved to Forbes in 2020 and [my practice there] started with a few local residents.” Patients can access Foundations Workshop Podiatry with or without a referral. Patients can choose to self-refer, or be referred
by local hospitals or medical centres, including through enhanced primary care programs. With excellent support from Empower’s proprietor, Jodie Inder, Ms Wright now has a wellstocked clinic room in Trangie where local patients and those from surrounding areas can be assessed and treated in comfort and privacy. Ms Wright can assist patients with pain and injury to the feet and lower limbs, hypermobility issues, feet issues stemming from diabetes, or painful conditions like sciatica, arthritis, bursitis, and neuroma. With her particular interest in biomechanics, sports medicine, and chiropractics, Ms Wright also offers therapies such as mobilisation and manipulation, biomechanical examinations, dry needling, and can also assist with orthotics. For further information about the Foundations Workshop Podiatry at Trangie, see the advertisement on this page.

Council was therefore now supporting a business that supports the local community, Cr Quigley said.
“CBA’s commitment to retain its local branch for at least another three years (from August 2023) in Warren Shire, has encouraged Council to support a fi nancial institution, that is maintaining its presence and commitment to our community.”
Council has confi rmed the banking change will have very little or no impact at all for most residents. They noted, however, that residents will no longer be able to make payments to Council via direct deposit, and instead encouraged the use BPAY services.

MORE than six months since the doors to the Warren NAB (National Australia Bank) branch closed, Warren Shire Council has completed its banking change. This has involved Council moving all its banking services to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) — the only bank branch still remaining in Warren. Despite intense lobbying from Council last year opposing the shutdown of the NAB, one of only two bank branches left in town, they went forward with the closure in late August. The closure also included for a number of other branches throughout the region, including Gilgandra, Wellington, and Condobolin. Keeping their promise to move their business from the NAB, all
of Council’s banking will be moved to the Commonwealth by this Friday, April 5. At the time the closure was announced, Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley, called it “short-sighted” and said Council’s decision to move its banking to the CBA was based on supporting a bank, that supports its community. “In light of NAB’s closure announcement, we lobbied extensively for the bank to retain its local presence, including writing to their CEO stating this decision was short-sighted, given our vibrant agriculturally based community,” Cr Quigley said. “The reply I received was not encouraging, with this situation prompting us to consider investigating the transfer of Council’s banking facilities to another bank that continues to sup-

4 FAITH MATTERS
Structural Integrity By SIMON CANT THE recent bridge collapse in Baltimore, USA was a startling image. Opened in 1977, it was the third largest continuous truss bridge in the world with a total length of 2.632 kilometres*; the main span alone stretched 336 metres! This was a structure that served well, with four lanes of traffic buzzing back-andforth, until the moment when the container ship “Dali” collided with a pylon, causing the whole thing to tumble like a pile of matchsticks. Our lives can be a lot like that. We can feel strong and capable. Able to bear the load …. and then a container ship of trouble hits us from an angle we weren’t expecting. David was a great leader; charismatic and talented. He had it all together…. until a dumb and selfish act** caused his world to crumble around him. It was in this moment that he wrote Psalm 51. “ …. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, And don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. ..” It’s clear that David is not relying on his own abilities. This time around, he is looking to God to rebuild his life. King David, who ruled Israel for almost 40 years, gives us an astonishing example of humility, and a truthful perspective on our dependence on God. *from the golf course rail crossing to Red Hill. **2 Samuel 11&12. A surprising read!

Fire at Macquarie Park — vandal problem growing
Vandals are at it again! A fire was recently deliberately lit in the bathrooms at Macquarie Park. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.
By HARRIET GILMORE VANDALS continue to plague Macquarie Park after a fi re was deliberately lit in one of the toilets last week. Warren Shire Council’s Town Services Manager, Raymond Burns, said that he and other Council staff were frustrated that delinquents continued to strike throughout town, and the problems seemed to be increasing.
Delinquents continue to plague Macquarie Park, with CCTV expected to be installed by next month. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.
“The despicable few have been at it again!” Mr Burns exclaimed. “Thankfully, we didn’t have to close the male toilets completely due to the fi re,” he added. Council said they would be reporting the fire to local police, with claims a video of the incident, has been posted on social media. “It is frustrating for Council staff, that this vandalism seems to be on the increase.
“Council endeavours to provide the residents and travelling public good, clean facilities; events like this distract Council from their other works,” Mr Burns said. The fi re follows reports on social media over the weekend, that a second instance of human faeces had been found, this time on the outdoor gym equipment at Victoria Park. Last week, it was reported that human excrement
had also been found at Macquarie Park. Mr Burns said that installation of new CCTV is currently being rolled-out across town, including at Macquarie Park. “Background systems are being installed at the moment. The actual cameras will follow once it is all in place, April/May 2024 is the anticipated time-frame,” Mr Burns concluded.

A spokesperson from Warren MPS, revealed also that builders have been engaged with work to start in the coming months, though no confi rmed date is available at this time. The funds came from a Commonwealth Minor Capital Work grant under which $35.3 million was allocated to 110 MPS sites across Australia to be used to undertake minor capital projects that directly related to the provision of residential aged care.

Expanded project — Macquarie River clean-up starts next week
EPA Incident Management and Environment Health Director, Arminda Ryan, with Zac Larkin from the NSW Government’s Science and Research team, at the recent community information session discussing the clean-up and raft removal on the Macquarie River. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. From page 1 “We do not have a blank cheque, but I do believe we have enough to get the project completed,” Ms Ryan said at the event. The focus will be on the clean-up of rubbish and man-made debris, Ms Ryan said, adding that, In order to achieve this, they will also remove woody debris of invasive
species, such as willow, as well as tethering some of the large native logs to the riverbed. Despite concerns from the community on the scope of the work, Ms Ryan said her organisation and the contractors have extensive experience in this type of removal project, having completed similar tasks in the Northern Rivers region, Hawkesbury River
and Cabonne region around Molong and Eugowra, all after significant flooding events. This will be the fi rst time however, that the EPA have included the removal of woody debris, having previously only worked on the removal of rubbish. The project will involve contractors who will work along the river in kayaks with six-metres punts with equipment onboard, she said. Some of the larger logs, may require heavy machinery and more equipment, and each logjam would be assessed individually to work-out the most appropriate equipment and course of action. However, the EPA did agree with community members, that access for heavy machinery may prove to be an issue in some areas, due to the nature of the riverbank and surrounding vegetation. She said that she was confident, though, that her team would be able to work through any issues that may arise. NSW Farmers (Warren branch) Chair and Macquarie River land-owner, Simon Cant said he was pleased to see the agency fi nally addressing a problem he has been concerned about for a number of years. “It was great to have the EPA come to town and make a
clear commitment to the community,” Mr Cant said. “Removing rubbish from Top Weir, all the way to Marebone, is an historic event, and removing the woody (willow) debris, is essential to the health and stability of our river,” he added. “We were wary that the job may have been underestimated, but EPA assured us, that they ‘will stay until it’s done’.” The EPA’s target for the clean-up is no more than one milk crate size worth of rubbish left per kilometre. The extensive clean-up will also include the removal of a car body from near the bridge on the Industrial Access Road, at the Bryan Egan Weir. Warren Shire Council General Manager, Gary Woodman said that Council had been asking the State Government for support to remove the car for the past three years, and he was very pleased to hear it will finally be removed as part of this project. Ms Ryan said throughout the entire process, contractors and her team will continue to monitor the river, with the impact on the environment and the safety of the team the EPA’s highest priority. “Scientists from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Wa-

ter, will continue monitoring upstream and downstream of the rafts during the works and immediately after the works,” Ms Ryan said.
As well as briefing the community on the project, one of the key objectives of the session last week, was to establish clear lines of communication throughout the entire process.
“Based on feedback today, we plan to email and post updates on our website weekly, as well as hosting another information session halfway through the project and at the conclusion of the project,” Ms Ryan concluded.

Upgrades to public spaces begin this month
Trangie to host a winter planting workshop By SHARON BONTHUYS
PHOTO: WARREN STAR.
By HARRIET GILMORE COUNCIL is beginning work on a number of projects in public spaces around town this month. The projects include a $21,000 upgrade to the entrance gates of the Warren Cemetery, new electric BBQ and shelter at Oxley Park, a new picnic table and shelter at Saunders Park and the installation of two new shelters over the BBQs at Splash Park. Warren Shire Council town services manager Raymond Burns said residents will notice the works around the community over the next two months. The entrance gates at the cemetery will be removed temporarily
for the repairs, as well as a slight modification to the original structure to raise the height of the gateway to prevent damage again, Mr Burns said. The entrance way will be repaired, abrasive blasted and powder coated before being reinstalled. At Oxley Park, the old BBQ and shelter will be demolished, with a new twin electric BBQ and Colorbond shelter installed. The picnic table and shelter at Saunders Park will also be replaced with new Colorbond items, valued at more than $25,000, while two new Colorbond shelters will also be installed over the existing barbecues at Splash Park.
GRAIN growers, planting contractors and industry stakeholders are encouraged to sign up and get on down to the Trangie Agricultural Research Station on April 8 for a free winter planting workshop.

Eye on the Environment
New rules are aiming to hit law-breakers’ hip pockets PENALTIES for many environmental crimes will double under the biggest amendments to environmental protection laws since the Environment Protection Authority was created in 1991. Last month, the NSW Government introduced changes to the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) and other environmental laws. The changes strengthen penalties and the EPA’s powers to deter repeat offenders and make polluters pay. This is significant, because most NSW environmental penalties have not increased since 2005, including those for serious offences. The current criminal investigation into asbestos-contaminated mulch, the biggest in the EPA’s history, has highlighted the need to address loopholes and enhance investigative capabilities. The Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales (NCC), the State’s leading environmental advocacy organisation, welcomed the EPA’s announcement.
“We hope that these changes will go some way in addressing the widespread recognition that many of the fi nes handed-out by the EPA do not prevent illegal behaviour, but are rather seen simply as the cost of doing business, especially by the fossil fuel industry,” NCC CEO, Jacqui Mumford said. “We also commend Minister Sharpe, for using this Bill as an opportunity to codify the landmark ruling from the Bushfi re Survivors v EPA case, which found the EPA has a legal duty to take action on climate change.” The statewide reforms are the fi rst step the NSW Government will take to ensure environmental frameworks are preventing contamination entering the community and recycling streams, and enforcing deterrents to environmental crimes. The Government will also consider further changes in response to the ongoing investigation into contaminated mulch or recommendations of the Asbestos Taskforce and Office of the Chief Scientist and Engineer.
Penalties under the Environment Protection Legislation Amendment (Stronger Regulation and Penalties) Bill 2024 include: f Doubling maximum penalties for Tier One serious offences to $10 million for companies and $2 million for individuals. f Doubling maximum penalties for Tier Two asbestos-related offences to $4 million for companies and $1 million for individuals. f More than doubling onthe-spot fine amounts for certain Tier Three offences to $30,000 for companies for a first offence and $45,000 for a second offence. For individuals, this will be $15,000 for a first offence and $22,500 for a second offence. f Doubling on-the-spot fines for general littering of small items to $160 for individuals and corporations in public places.
f Cracking down on smallscale illegal dumping with maximum penalties of $50,000 for companies and $25,000 for individuals. On-the-spot fi nes of $5,000 for companies and $1,000 for individuals will be able to be issued by public land managers, including councils, NSW Police and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. f Implementing a specific, higher penalty for small-scale illegal dumping on sensitive land such as childcare centres, hospitals, schools, national parks and beaches. f Increasing maximum penalties for breaching resource recovery orders and exemptions from $44,000 to $2 million, or $4 million for offences by corporations involving asbestos waste.
Other elements of the legislation include: f Introducing new product recall powers for materials that may be contaminated with harmful substances
across an entire supply chain, to quickly safeguard human health and the environment and warn the public. f Establishing a public ‘name and shame’ process to issue public warnings about poor environmental performers and sub-standard practices. f Strengthening investigation powers, introducing investigation notices, and improving and expanding clean-up notice controls. f Allowing the Land and Environment Court to ban serial and serious offenders from applying for an environment protection licence. f Providing a framework to establish a new waste accreditation scheme to ensure accurate assessment, classification and disposal of waste. This will protect the integrity of recycling streams by targeting the source of contamination. Regulatory effort will be focused upstream towards the waste generator, providing greater visibility and control over supply chains.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Retirement announcement LAST week, I announced my intention to retire at the next election and, since then, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support and well wishes I have received from the people of the Parkes electorate and colleagues from all sides of politics. What has been most touching, is the countless messages from the people I’ve been able to help over the years and, at the end of the day, that’s why I entered politics in the fi rst place. I just wanted to get a better deal for the people in the bush, and it’s been incredibly humbling to hear from so many people, who have appreciated what I’ve been able to do over the years. But there’s still plenty to be done before I do step aside, and I will continue to work as hard as ever to ensure the Parkes electorate is not forgotten by this Government.
Coalition cracks down on youth crime IN the midst of issues to do with youth crime in the Parkes electorate, the Coalition
last week introduced its “Crimes and Online Safety Legislation Amendment Bill” into Parliament. This bill seeks to crack down on youth crime, by making it illegal to post social media material that glamourises violence and criminal activity. The Bill also provides the eSafety Commissioner with specific powers to require such videos and material to be taken down. Many community leaders in my electorate, are telling me that social media is fuelling crime among our young people, who are being encouraged by their peers to engage in criminal behaviour for “likes” online and notoriety. We call on the Labor Government, to get on board and support this important, common-sense policy, which will hopefully deter young people from doing the wrong thing and, might help break the current cycle of crime.
Changes to car tax not good enough LABOR’S attempts last week to put its vehicle efficiency policy into reverse, does nothing to stop price rises for Australia’s most popular vehicles, because of its tax on existing models. Minor changes announced by Ministers Chris Bowen and Catherine King, will provide no relief from Labor’s proposed new vehicle efficiency standard that is still aimed squarely at the country’s top-selling vehicles. While minor concessions

PHOTO: PARKES ELECTORATE have been made for some large four-wheel drives such as the Toyota Prado and the Ford Everest, they join utes like the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, and the Isuzu D-Max in still facing crippling penalties under this policy. The Government has also failed to reduce the impact of its tax on passenger cars, including popular hybrids and SUVs Australian families love to drive. The coalition will continue to stand with families, farmers, tradies, and small business owners who will be forced to pay more for new cars after the next election.
Funding for women to play their way LOCAL councils, community organisations, and sporting groups, have the opportunity to apply for funding to address the barriers women and girls face when participating in sport and physical activity. A total of $200 million is available for the upgrade or establishment of sporting facilities or for new equipment or programs which will encourage women and girls to participate and remain involved in local sports.
There has been an incredible uptake of women and girls participating in community sport in recent years, however many of our community sporting clubs and facilities, are not equipped to accommodate female athletes. Too often, girls are having to change in men’s bathrooms or wear boys’ uniforms and play with unsuitable equipment. This funding will help address these issues to enable more women and girls to take part in the sport they love. Applications are open through April, visit the “Play Our Way Program” website for more information and to apply.
Fire season, finally comes to a close OFFICIAL fi re season has come to a close this week, with the end of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) for Warren and much of NSW, announced from the start of April. While Spring 2023 was a busy period of the fi re season, Summer was relatively quiet, thanks to timely rainfall. RFS Commissioner, Rob Rogers noted, however, that this season saw a resur-
gence in heightened fi re danger, particularly in its initial stages, following three years of above-average rainfall. “RFS crews and other agencies, responded to more than 5480 bush and grass fi res this season, which burned more than 445,000 hectares,” Commissioner Rogers said. “Tragically, we lost three RFS fi refighters. Senior Deputy Captain, John Holmes; Captain Leo Fransen;
and Group Captain, Dale Bowles; gave the ultimate sacrifice to selflessly protect communities across NSW,” he added. “They lost their lives in the service of others and our thoughts remain with their families and loved ones.” Also, a total of 29 homes, 142 outbuildings, and hundreds of livestock were lost; although hundreds more homes and buildings were saved due to the actions of
fi refighters and landholders. While the BFDP may have officially ended, Commissioner Rogers said fi re restrictions have been extended in two Local Government Areas due to local conditions — until Sunday, April 14, in the Mid-Western LGA, and to Tuesday, April 30, in the Snowy Monaro LGA. “The RFS and its partner agencies, also remain committed to extensive preparatory efforts ahead of next
season, with hazard reduction work already underway across the State, and more than 62,000 hectares treated since 1 July,” he said. “It’s important to remember, fi res can occur at any time of the year, so we urge people to keep their property prepared, have bushfi re survival plans up to date and discuss them with their family and household,” Commissioner Rogers concluded.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Thursday, April 4, 2024
ROY’S OY’S OUND-UP ROUND-UP Comment mment by ROY Y BUTLER, te Member State for Barwon G’DAY folks, my week in Parliament, was about as busy as it gets, given that a lot of meetings had to be rescheduled from the week before, when I was isolating due to COVID. There were also some important bills being debated, which made for a high-pressure atmosphere and some late nights. Fortunately, last week, while still pretty busy, it was not as stressful, with a trip out to Mendooran to open the Mendooran Show, committee hearings, and a brief visit to the Royal Easter Show. This week, I will be attending my son’s marching-out parade at Kapooka, which I am really looking forward to.
Bail Law Amendment IN the last sitting week in Parliament in March, I contributed to the debate on the bill that amends bail laws to make bail less-likely for repeat offenders who commit certain types of offences. I supported the bill — although there were reports that I was openly critical — because it will get repeat offenders off the street but, as I said in my contribution, it won’t address the bigger problem of young offenders. The whole problem is a bit more complex. Custody is necessary for serious offences, but for minor offences, trying to divert a young person away from crime, should be an option for magistrates. For young offenders who show signs of being willing to change, residential diversionary programs (three to six months) should be an option. I have been talking to the Government about this, and I will continue to advocate for more diversionary programs in Barwon. To see the video of my contribution to the debate, visit my website.
Key Worker Housing ONE of the major problems with trying to fi nd key workers like nurses, doctors, police, and paramedics to work in regional areas, is the lack of places for them to live. Recent-
ly in Parliament, I moved a notice of motion asking that the House: 1. Commits to renewal and expansion of regional essential worker housing to attract teachers, nurses, doctors, and police to the bush, and create a new stock of housing for ambulance workers. 2. Agrees to sell the aged stock into the private market to increase supply of rentals and owner-occupied homes in bush towns. 3. Increase and incentivise regional tradies, through vocational training and apprenticeships, as part of the housing renewal. 4. Simplify planning approvals through pattern planning, and approve the use of efficient, fast construction methods such as locally-made panel or modular homes. Generally, when I give a “Notice of Motion” in Parliament, it will be the result of discussions with constituents, councils, or community groups in Barwon, but I will have already either corresponded with the relevant ministers or had meetings with them on the subject of the motion. In this case, I have already been in discussions with the ministers for housing, planning, and lands, talking about solutions to the housing shortage for key workers in Barwon. I will keep you posted on the progress of those discussions.
Meeting the surveyors DURING the sitting week, I met with representatives from the Institution of Surveyors NSW, on none other than Global Surveyor’s Day, including my old mate and former parliamentary colleague, Melanie Gibbons. This was a follow-up to a meeting I had last year with the Institution of Surveyors NSW regarding the absolute handbrake that biodiversity offsets are for regional development, investment, and growth. I am not denying the need to be responsible and respectful of the environment, but most people are unaware of exactly how much the offsets are adding to the costs of development. Just 0.4 per cent of the State of NSW has been developed for housing, industry and commercial premises. Of that development, 0.25 per cent is in the densely-populated 40x60 kilometre area of Sydney. In regional NSW, while vast spaces of undeveloped land provide the bulk of the State’s
forests, pastures, and trees, getting a house built costs an additional $100,000 for biodiversity offsets. Sydney had 246 years to develop, most of it without the burden of increased development (biodiversity offset) costs. The bush should not be subject to the level of restriction and cost we are seeing. I will be taking this up with the minister, armed with real solutions that will allow regional NSW to increase its population and host industry and let more people enjoy the amazing lifestyle available in regional NSW.
Virtual Fencing MY colleague Philip Donato, the member for Orange, introduced the “Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Virtual Stock Fencing) Bil” in February this year, and it came up for debate in the last sitting week in Parliament in March. I spoke in support of the bill, explaining a bit about how it will improve productivity, will cut capital expenditure for fencing, help combat stock theft, and it even has environmental benefits. The bill has been moved to an inquiry to further investigate legislating virtual fencing in NSW. From the outset, I support the bill. Virtual fencing has the backing of peak farming bodies like the NSW Farmers, industry professionals, and the CSIRO. It will make life easier for farmers, who, let’s face it, have it tough even when conditions are good. It is already revolutionising livestock farming in Queensland, Tasmania, New Zealand, and the United States. This is a true collaboration between science and the agricultural industry, and it is time we implemented this in NSW.
Community Consultation COMMUNITY consultation is not a new thing. It has been around for centuries. The ancient Athenian orator, Demosthenes, said: “the beginning of all virtue, is consultation and deliberation.” But while many politicians, public servants, and leaders have talked about the importance of consultation over the years, the reality is that sometimes it is not done well, or a government fails to implement that consultation into its decisions. Recently in Parliament, I delivered a private members’ statement about the impor-
tance of proper consultation. In the speech, I gave a few examples of poor consultation and asked the Government to legislate minimum standards of consultation. This would ensure that communities are genuinely consulted, and their voices are properly heard. Janelle Saffin — Member for Lismore — was on “House Duty” at the time, Janelle might be small in size, but is a bit of a giant politically. At the end of my statement, she added some of her own wisdom, saying that instead of consultation, we should be talking about “conversation”, which is a more collaborative process.
Local manufacturing revival OVER the past few decades, there has been a decline in manufacturing in Australia. At its peak in the mid-20th century, manufacturing used to employ around a quarter of the workforce and contribute to around 25 per cent of our GDP, but now it employs around 6.5 per cent and contributes 5.7 per cent of the GDP. But there are things that the Government could be doing to revive our manufacturing industries and to create new ones, specifically in regional areas. Queensland and Victoria are making major investments in manufacturing in their regional areas, NSW should be doing the same. I recently delivered a private members statement about manufacturing in NSW and how the Government should be building in Australian content quotas in public goods, and major infrastructure projects to create work for local manufacturers. We should also be doing something to take-off one of the major handbrakes to development of manufacturing plants in the regions — biodiversity offsets. We could be using existing national parks as the offsets, which would be as simple as drawing lines on a map. Cheap crown land could be made available for factories to be set up in country areas, which are close to resources, along with incentives for companies to move their operations west and payroll tax concessions to help them get started. A great opportunity exists to bring money and jobs to regional centres, and to help Australia become less-dependent on overseas manufacturing.
The long road home for Easter
LAST week, although Parliament wasn’t sitting, there was a lot keeping me in Sydney. Apart from a series of meetings, I was also in Macquarie Street for the Staysafe Committee hearings, looking at the concerns over safety issues with batteries in electric vehicles. But there was also a visit to the Royal Easter Show, where I attended the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW President’s Medal dinner. Showcasing the six fi nalists for best produce and beverages for the medal. I was seated with Tara Moriarty (MLC) and Margaret Beazley, Governor of NSW. Fortunately, I was also able to enjoy some of the action in the main arena. My congratulations to Pecora Dairy, who won the President’s Medal. After all of the official duties and meetings were over, I was able to head home for Easter, but what would normally be a five-hour trip from Sydney to Mendooran took seven hours. I have struck long weekend and holiday traffic on the Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road plenty of times. It’s such an important route for so many reasons. BUT it’s congested heading west every holiday or long weekend or east at the end of a break. Both routes are an incident away from being blocked and traffic stopped or diverted. I could have a rant about driver behaviour — speeding-up in overtaking areas, or driving in the right lane for no reason, not overtaking anyone. But we will save that for another day. From a freight perspective, B-doubles that are over 19 metres, can’t use either route, adding freight costs for producers, and the cost of products for consumers. I am constantly reminded of this problem and past commitments to improve the route. Commitments that were never honoured. After enjoying a “succulent Chinese meal” at Blue Sky Chinese Lithgow, my fortune cookie had the message “Never give-up, you will achieve great things in life”. I will have a chat with my neighbour in Parliament, regional roads minister, Jenny Aitchison MP and see what might be possible. It certainly wouldn’t be a quick or cheap fix.

LAST week, Catholic Education Director for the Wilcannia-Forbes Diocese, Mrs Leadbitter visited St Mary’s Parish School to meet with students. Mrs Leadbitter toured the classrooms and chatted with the children about their work and their upcoming plans for Easter. It was wonderful to have Mrs Leadbitter at St Mary’s and to hear from her about how proud she is of their community. Talking of Easter, the St Mary’s Mission Team ventured over to Calara House to help make Easter bonnets. In some great sporting fun, there was some literal blood and sweat but, thankfully, no tears, as the Parents team took-out the Project Compassion Trophy, against Year Six in a friendly baseball match on Thursday. While Year Six played their hearts out, some of the younger students showed just how big this Term has been, and took the
opportunity to catch-up on some much-needed rest! “Thank-you to parents for your continued support and for making the day!” a School spokesperson said. “Don’t worry, Year Six, they won’t give you a hard time … for long!” they added. The event showed how much volunteers help out at the school, the spokesperson said. “St Mary’s also wished to take the time to thank all of the amazing parent volunteers, for all they do for the school community. “The children are so blessed to have such great role models and people who give-up their time to help out at school, from volunteers in the canteen to helping pull-together the Easter raffles,” they concluded. Regular community, civic, and academic awards were also presented last week as well as winners of the Easter Raffles; more than $3000 was raised.

Water under the bridge, over-recovered flows not coming back, Coulton claims
Warren Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley; Macquarie Rivers Food and Fibre (MRFF) Executive Officer, Michael Drum; Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton; MRFF Chair, Stewart Dentson; and Narromine Mayor, Cr Craig Davies are calling on the Federal Government to engage with key stakeholders in the Macquarie Valley on over-recovered water. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. From page 1 Unhappy with the decision, Mr Coulton, together with Warren Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley; Narromine Mayor, Cr Craig Davies; and local producer representatives, called on Ms Plibersek and the Federal Government to return this water back to the region. They said that water restrictions under the Plan, were hollowing-out local agriculture production in the region and associated rural economies. “Over-recovered” water refers to the excess flows that had been purchased from the Macquarie Valley, as part of the Murray Darling Basin
Plan, that were more than what was required. When contacted for comment, Ms Plibersek’s office referred the request to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. A Department spokesperson then said that last year’s public consultation on the implementation of the Murray Darling Basin Plan, raised a number of ideas, including the use of over recovered water. “There is likely to be some water that was recovered prior to 2019, that is in excess of bridging the gap targets in the northern Basin,” the spokesperson said. “While exact volumes won’t
be known until NSW water resource plans are accredited, it is intended this recovery count to the 450GL to enhance environmental outcomes,” they added. They then revealed that this water, is already being used by the Commonwealth Environment Water Holder to deliver environmental outcomes, including to help the Macquarie Marshes recover from the impacts of northern Basin drought. Mr Coulton said the Labor Government’s plan to take 450GL of productive water from the Basin, is all about appeasing the inner-city left with complete disregard for the impact it will have on the
communities who rely on those flows. “Water is the lifeblood that employs people, provides prosperity, and is the very reason these communities are there,” Mr Coulton said. “The attack on the Murray Darling Basin, on the farmers and communities in that area, is just a clear indication of Labor’s lack of understanding.” Mr Coulton said that efforts to ensure that western rivers remain in constant flow, misunderstood the geography and climate of the region. “We’re now seeing advertisements on TV saying this Government is going to stop the rivers from ever drying again. “They are ephemeral rivers, and have been since time began; but that’s the sort of blind ignorance and misinformation we are seeing from the Government on this.” Michael Drum, Executive Officer from Macquarie River Food and Fibre — which represents more than 500 water-users from the district — continues to advocate for the return of the over-recovered water, and said the decision to use that excess flow towards the 450GL environmental targets, is purely a political decision for residents of inner-city Sydney. “Minister Plibersek has shown complete ignorance to the approximately $1 billion of economic damage our communities have suffered from over-recovery so far,” Mr Drum said. “But worse than that, the Minister is prepared to continue this ongoing damage in the Macquarie Valley, to falsely claim successful progress on failing Government programs in her electorate, her eyes are fi rmly on the ballot box, and not on the communities she is breaking,” he added. According to data from WaterNSW, 88 per cent of all flows between 2011 and 2023, have gone to the environment, 11 per cent has been used commercially, and towns have received one per cent. “The Macquarie Valley is well-below its Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL), with 88 per cent of all water going to the environment over the last decade or so,” Mr Drum said. “That’s over 33 Sydney Harbours to the environment, and more specifically the Macquarie Marshes and adjacent private land holdings.” It is claimed, the 40GL of water that has been over-recovered in the Macquarie Valley, equates to approximately $90 million per annum of lost production just at the farm-gate alone, with further flow on impacts to Macquarie communities.
“That impact has resulted in lost local employment, population decline in small regional towns, business closures, and increased pressure on community resources like schools and medical services,” Mr Drum said. “It also jeopardises local town water security, as we saw in the last drought from Dubbo to Warren, Nyngan and Cobar, which have only received a mere one per cent of all flows in the Macquarie in the period between 2011 and 2023.” He said that Minister needs to be held to account for this “appalling set of circumstances” and the inequity being created under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. “The Member for Sydney, is selling-out regional communities in the Macquarie to gather votes in her own city electorate; there’s no other reasonable explanation to retain the over-recovered water. “From our point of view, enough damage has been done, the water needs to be returned in line with the intent of the Murray Darling Basin Plan, and not used for Tanya Plibersek’s political gain,” Mr Drum said. Macquarie River Food and Fibre, along with Mr Coulton and the Warren and Narromine shire mayors, is now calling on the Federal Government to engage with key stakeholders in the Macquarie Valley, to commence the process of returning the over-recovered water to the Macquarie Valley, as intended under the Murray Darling Basin Plan water recovery process. “Why should our small communities unfairly shoulder the burden for other valleys in the Murray Darling Basin that have not contributed their fair share to the Plan?” Warren Mayor, Cr Quigley asked. “Why should our town’s economic and social viability be put further at risk than could be reasonably expected. Why is a job in Warren or Narromine worth less than one somewhere else?”he added. Narromine Mayor, Cr Davies agreed, saying that the Basin Plan was designed to balance, community, economic, and environmental needs of the region. “The Basin Plan set equitable targets based on sound socio-economic tests,” Cr Davies said. “Retention or repurposing over-recovered water from the Macquarie by the Federal Government fails those tests on all measures, the inequity of this situation must be resolved immediately, to stop the decade-long economic hardship felt by our communities,” he concluded.

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES BANDI’S Boy, the likely favourite for the $1 million Newhaven Park Country Championship Final at Royal Randwick on Saturday, April 6 and well-performed central west galloper Taren Lad, raced more than 50-years apart, however both are linked through their ownership by John Woods. The very well-liked and respected Woods, died in tragic circumstances at his property near Cowra in February, but always had a wish to get another good horse after Taren Lad. Auctioned after winning the Flying Handicap at Bedgerabong Picnics, Woods rejected the fi nal bid of $1600 for Taren Lad and retained ownership, with subsequent good results. Trained at Bedgerabong village by former picnic jockey, Roy Parsons, Taren Lad (Teranyan X Raven Lady) became a prolific winner on central west tracks and, in the early 1970s, was taken to Sydney for a six-furlong handicap event one Saturday at Warwick Farm. Connections secured extravagant odds of 66/1 and they were feeling confident of collecting when Taren Lad, starting at 50/1, after being 12th on the turn, dashed through an opening on the rails to hit the front close to home. Urging on Taren Lad from the grandstand, trainer Roy Parsons lost his balance and tumbled down a f light of steps. When helped to his
Woods’ Bandi’s Boy the western hope in the Newhaven Park Country Championship Final feet and dusted off by Woods and friends, Roy asked: “did we win?”. Unfortunately, Roy was informed another outsider, Berrinup at 20/1, had unleashed a powerful fi nishing burst down the outside to grab Taren Lad in the last stride and win by a half head with Jet Pilot owned by Jack Darcy formerly from Bedgerabong, in third place. Taren Lad was later trained at Grenfell by Chris Hardy, the father of present-day Wagga Wagga trainer, Chris Hardy, and won two Cowra Cups and the Cotton Cup at Warren. Always with a passion for horses, Woods had a brief stint as a jockey on the picnic circuit and, later, on his well-run farm ‘Manna Park’ in the Burcher area, he began preparing and riding horses in three-day eventing and show-jumping. Grey Duke, a prolific picnic cups winner when trained at Forbes by Charlie Piercy and ridden by Ken Parsons, when retired was obtained by John Woods for Showjumping and became one of his best mounts when achieving considerable success at the Sydney Royal Show. During the fi nal stages and on the brink of being selected for the Olympic Games ThreeDay Eventing team, he withdrew due to having to self-fund the big expenses involved. Another interest for Woods, was the Forbes Jockey Club of which he was a popular member of the committee for more than 30 years, and for 10 of those, he was the Forbes representative on the Central Districts Racing Association.
Part-owned by Woods and trained at Dubbo by Frank Hayes, the fi lly, Tibidabo, began racing in 2016 and, over her fi rst four starts, won at Goulburn and Coonamble and fi nished second in a highway at Rosehill. During a brief career, Tididabo was later trained at Muswellbrook by Pat Farrell, who formed a good friendship with Woods: “I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly chats on the phone with John, who was a very nice fellow”, Pat recalled. After retirement, Tibidabo was sent by Woods to the Kooringal Stud owned by the Lamont family at Wagga Wagga, and joined to The Brothers War. Not long after having her foal, Tididabo died and the orphaned Bandi’s Boy was reared as a poddy. Trained at Goulburn by Danny Williams, the Woods bred-and-owned Bandi’s Boy, made an auspicious debut, when fi nishing fi fth in the G3 Kindergarten Stakes, followed by three wins at Randwick over the next seven starts. Two days after the largely-attended Memorial Service for Woods at Forbes, the Danny Williams trained favourite, Bandi’s Boy ridden by regular jockey, Jay Ford, came from well-back with a big fi nish to win the $150,000 Newhaven Park Country Championship SERA Qualifier at Moruya. Danny Williams decided on another start for his rising star, before the Championship decider and last Saturday at Rosehill, Bandi’s Boy at $15 and again ridden by Jay Ford, finished power-
fully from midfield to win the 1200-metres $250,000 EGroup Security G3 Star Kingdom Stakes at Rosehill from Malkovich and Roots. Bandi’s Boy, the good horse that John Woods always hoped to get, after Taren Lad was beaten in a photo-fi nish more than 50-years-ago at Warwick Farm, will have a huge following from Woods’ family, friends, and racing fans, when contesting the $1 million Newhaven Park Country Championship Final on Saturday at Royal Randwick.
Bourke - raced Sunday, March 31 CONTINUING a run of very consistent form on the circuit, the Connie Greig, Dubbo trained Linden Tree on Easter Sunday won the Splashe Cola-Rices Back O Bourke Cordials Harry Hart Memorial Picnic Cup at Bourke. Prior to Bourke, Linden Tree won the Condobolin Picnic Cup and was runner-up in the Picnic Cups at Bedgerabong and Tottenham. Before a big crowd at Bourke, Frau Holle led by four lengths with Linden Tree back near last with stablemate Kalpana. Ridden by the Brazilian born Leandro Ribeiro, Linden Tree ($2.60 favourite) ran the 1600 metres out strongly and won by a length from Kalpana (Izzy Neale, $4.60) with Frau Holle (Ricky Blewitt, $10) battling on well for third. Connie Greig also provided the quinella in the 1300 metres Outback Ice and Refrigeration Trophy Handicap however, Izzy Neale turned
the tables on Leandro Ribeiro when Pahang (Izzy Neale, 3.20) in a close fi nish fought off Individualist (Leandro Ribeiro, 2.50 fav.) with Are You Certain (Michael Gray, $6) six lengths away third. Cobar trainer Wayne Prisk enjoyed a good day, landing a winning double with Mr Pointer and A Tender Lady, both raced in partnership by Wayne Prisk and Butch Eves. After sharing the lead with Have Mercy, Mr Pointer (Emily Harrison, $7) gained the ascendancy to win by a long neck from Have Mercy (Leandro Ribeiro, $3.40) while Hurn Court (Maddison Wright, $3.20 fav.) humped the 77kg top weigh in to third place in the 800 metres Bourke Bowling Club Open Trophy Handicap. First-season jockey Emily Harrison with her trademark captivating smile, was again welcomed back to the winners’ stall after the 1000 metres Nutrien Walsh Hughes and Franks Outback Security Class B Handicap. Leading for home from Oh No Devon, A Tender Lady ($4.40) won by over two lengths from the strong fi nishing Scruff ’s Magic (Izzy Neale, $5.50) and Hammoon Sunshine (Maddison Wright, $3.40). Maddison Wright and Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb had earlier combined to win the 800 metres Bourke Steel and Hire-Franks BP Service Station Maiden Plate with Hammoon Sky ($1.80 fav.) which led all the way and had over three lengths to spare at the fi nish from Party Stop (Tony Williams, $3.50) and Juliet Bravo (Ricky Blewitt, $3.50).

By ABIGAIL MCLAUGHLIN
WARREN rider Payton Callaghan won the “double” at Hermidale Gymkhana on Sunday — taking home the prize-money in both the barrel and the bending race “shoot outs”. There were around 70 horses entered in this year’s Hermidale Gymkhana. Payton brought two horses to the event and qualified both of them in the finals, by finishing first and second in the age events. Once again, the fi nalists in the shoot-outs included a mix of locals and visitors. Nyngan riders Hayden Burley, Caitlin Bunting, and Charles Robb all put in solid performances, as did last year’s runner-up, Sophie Mclean from Warren, and Mark Dawson from The Marra.
In the hacking events, Ella Kilmartin, and her cousin, Charles Robb, were champion junior girl and boy rider, whilst Hayden Burley and Caitlin Bunting were champion gentleman and lady rider.
