By HARRIET GILMORE ACCLAIMED Warren photographer, Belinda Dimarzio-Bryan, has recently been recognised for her spectacular talent, nabbing an award at the recent Art Unlimited awards in Dunedoo.

Last year, Belinda also won the National Farmers Federation 2023 Agriculture Day photo competition for her shot, “Little Helper”, beating more than 500 other entries from all over Australia. Belinda said she was thrilled to hear the news of the highly commended award at the Art Unlimited Art Competition this year. “Thank you to the judges for seeing and appreciating the story behind the photo,” she said.

“Beautifully curated by Frances Evans, this night was one we all will never forget. A storm hit mid-performance and all power went out, but it didn’t stop the AVE and our fabulous Warren choir.

“My appreciation goes to all of those beautiful, talented faces for fi lling the photo with such flair and grace. My utmost gratitude also goes to Frances Evans for trusting me with the task of capturing such an incredible event which in the end captured this unforgettable moment,” Belinda concluded.

“With only candlelight, mobile torches and Nick Evans holding a bright flashlight in the back row, I wasn’t sure this photo would materialise but I took it anyway.

Arts Unlimited judge and widely-published photographer, Alina Maclean, said in commentary, that Belinda’s image really captures the atmosphere of the moment,

from the strong contrasts to the subtle details illuminated by light. “You as the viewer almost feel as though you have stumbled into a rehearsal in a dark room, drawn by the music,” Alina said. “Sometimes the lack of light in an image highlights only the elements that you need to see to convey a story, leaving the unnecessary details out, which has worked fabulously for this image,” she added.

Free help for small businesses

Whooping cough on the rise By HARRIET GILMORE

Service NSW Business Bureau executive director Cassandra Gibbens says more country people could be benefiting from the State Government’s assistance program for small businesses. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. REGIONAL NSW small businesses are already the biggest users of the state government’s Business Bureau facility, but many more country fi rms could still be taking advantage of a free business advisory service provided through Service NSW. Executive director Cassandra Gibbens says more than 55,000 small businesses have been helped by Business Connect since this unique program began in 2017, and more than half of these have been located in regional areas. The Business Connect service, which is provided through Service NSW, provides for eligible businesses to have personal assistance from professional, qualified advisors on a one-onone and ongoing basis. Participation in the program also provides access to workshops, webinars, and events. “From getting started, to marketing and managing cash flow, the Business Connect program

within the Service NSW Business Bureau provides up to eight hours of free events and independent, tailored advice each year for businesses across the state,” Ms Gibbens said. “Business Connect advisors have experience running their own businesses and provide free, confidential business advice based on your goals.” Ms Gibbens said the program is also worthwhile for people who are considering starting up for the fi rst time – 20 per cent of inquiries come from clients intending to enter the business world with a new product or business idea. According to Service NSW, the Business Connect program has achieved a 96 per cent approval rating from small businesses that it has assisted to date. Visit the Service NSW website to fi nd out more

WHOOPING cough is on the rise, with reported case numbers in NSW for the month of May the highest rates the State has seen in a single month in more than three decades. In May, more than 1300 cases of pertussis commonly-known as “whooping cough”, were reported, while notifications for June, are already at more than 1200 (as of Sunday June 23). In the Western Area Health District, there have been more than 60 confirmed cases for the month so far as of June 23, while, in the whole month of May, there were just 46, and these are just the confirmed cases. As many sufferers typically don’t see a doctor or aren’t actually tested for whooping cough, the actual figures are likely to be much higher. Pertussis is caused by the bacteria, Bordetella pertussis, a highly-contagious infection that can cause serious illness in all ages, but which is particularly dangerous in babies where it can lead to pneumonia as a life-threatening secondary infection. Outbreaks of whooping cough usually occur every few years, as population immunity wanes. The largest recent outbreak in NSW was in 2010/11, when more than 22,000 cases were reported. NSW Health said notifications of people with whooping cough in NSW started to increase last year, and rates are expected to continue to increase. In the Saturday, June 8 NSW Health Respiratory Surveillance Report, the highest rates of whooping cough notifications, were observed in children aged five–14, with the number of notifications in this age group, continuing to increase. Recent NSW Health reports, also show unseasonably-high numbers of presentations to emergency departments (ED) for children and young adults with pneumonia, particularly in those aged five–16 years, which have

continued through April and early June. COVID-19 activity also remains at high levels, while influenza activity continues to increase. In the two weeks to June 8, there were almost 200 reported cases of COVID-19, almost 160 reported cases of influenza, and more than 120 cases of RSV, in the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD). WNSWLHD Public Health Director, Priscilla Stanley, confirmed pertussis and pneumonia activity continues to be unseasonably-high in school-aged children across NSW, while community transmission of COVID-19 remains high across our district, as influenza activity is also increasing in line with statewide trends. “This is a timely reminder for everyone, to continue to take the simple steps we are so familiar with, to reduce the spread of respiratory pathogens, which protect us, our loved ones, and our communities,” Ms Stanely said. “These measures are particularly important during winter, when people are more likely to get sick,” she added. Helping stop the spread of these illnesses, she believes, is still largely common-sense. “Everyone can help to reduce the spread of respiratory pathogens by staying home if you feel unwell, wearing a mask if you do need to go out, practicing good hand hygiene, covering your coughs and sneezes, and staying up-to-date with all recommended vaccinations. “Vaccination is still our best protection against respiratory illnesses like COVID-19, influenza and pertussis, now is a great time to take steps to ensure you and your family are up-to-date with all recommended vaccinations and booster doses, particularly if you are at higher risk of severe illness,” Ms Stanely concluded. Local schools, and early childhood centres have confi rmed there have been a number of cases across the community, and are reminding parents about the importance of keeping sick children home to stop the spread.

FAITH MATTERS

Doing the Small Things By SHIRLEY TODDHUNTER ST Francis De Sales once said, “Doing things with a strong desire to please God makes them really great.” Sometimes it is not necessary to do spectacular things to have a very big effect. Small, quiet acts can achieve great things. Jesus’ miracles were never accompanied by a lot of hoo-ha or self-acclamation. In fact, the opposite was true. He made a point of doing things quietly and as unobtrusively as possible, instructing those who witnessed the things He did to not tell anyone about them. And yet, those miracles are still being talked about

thousands of years after His death. In this great tapestry of a world, each of us must do what he or she can, as well as he or she can, in their tiny part of the whole. Some of us are born to be great, to do great things, to always be in the limelight. Others, while not seeming to achieve greatness, by their quiet doggedness and willingness to help their fellow human beings, inspire those around them to do greater things. We cannot all be stars. After all, there’s not much point in being a star if you don’t have anyone to shine on, if there’s no one to appreciate your beauty.

Government cash splash resurrects Dolly Festival Pull-out your wigs, your thighhigh boots, and your wallets! The Dolly Parton Festival is set to return in 2024 after a funding runaround from the State Government. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE’S Dolly Parton Festival is now officially back-on, after the NSW Government threw the event a lifeline with a cash injection to save it from the chopping block. The good news of the sudden turnaround, broke on Radio 2GB in early June, when State Minister for the Arts, Music, Jobs, and Tourism, John Graham, informed host Chris O’Keefe that the Government had: “found some new money along with some grants going out to other councils, and it’s now the case this [festival] will be going ahead.” Since the announcement, the hard-working volunteer organising committee who plans and stages the event, has been working well past “nine-to-five” to get the event up and going. The Committee acknowledged the funds from the Government for the lifeline and the support of the wider community that will benefit from the fun, family-friendly event. “Through the generous support of the NSW Government and Narromine Shire Council, our fabulous event is back on!” the Committee announced. Tickets for the free event, became available last week. The extra funding was secured after Narromine Council contacted the State Government advising them the event had been cancelled on May 17 due to a lack of funding. Mr Graham revealed in Parliament on June 6, that Council was able to secure additional funding via the Open Streets grant program, receiving the maximum $150,000 amount. However, it’s not recurrent funding, meaning it’s one-off support. The challenge of raising funds to stage any subsequent festival — whenever that may be — remains.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, June 26, 2024

Prof Jenny appointed as the new Nat’l Rural Health Commissioner By SHARON BONTHUYS GETTING a taste for country practice as a young medico, has ultimately led to a leadership role for one of our most important bush health advocacy groups Professor Jenny May, (AM) from Tamworth, was among the fi rst cohort of University of Newcastle students to undertake a rural medical placement in the city in 1980. She has now recently been announced as the next National Rural Health Commissioner and will formally start in the role in September, replacing outgoing commissioner, Adjunct Professor Ruth Stewart. The National Rural Health Commissioner, provides health policy advice and advocates for reforms which support better access to safe, quality, and affordable health care in rural, regional, and remote Australia. The Australian Medical Association (AMA) welcomed the appointment of Professor May, who has worked for the University of Newcastle since 2004 and is the Director of the University’s Department of Rural Health based in Tamworth. The practicing GP is also the inaugural Betty Josephine Fyffe Chair in Rural Health with the University’s College of Health, Medicine and Wellbeing. “We know people living in regional, rural and remote areas experience health challenges including access to workforce,”

AMA President, Professor Steve Robson said. “We congratulate Professor May and look forward to working closely with her to provide better access to health care for people living in rural Australia,” he added. Professor May’s appointment was announced last week by Federal Health and Aged Care MInister, Mark Butler, who said making sure all Australians have access to quality, affordable and safe health care was a priority. “The Government welcomes the appointment of Professor Jenny May to the role of National Rural Health Commissioner,” Mr Butler said. “Jenny’s experience, expertise and drive will help continue the reforms necessary to build better models of care suited to the needs of people living outside of our cities,” he added. Prof May brings a wealth of experience to the role of commissioner after working on the ground as a rural GP for more than 35 years in rural, regional and remote West Australian, Northern Territory, and NSW, as well as overseas in rural Canada. In 2016, Prof May received the Order of Australia for significant service to community health in rural and regional Australia as a general practitioner, to professional medical groups, and to education. University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor, Professor Alex Zelinsky (AO) said Prof May’s ap-

pointment was a fitting acknowledgment of her considerable experience and expertise in rural health and health education. “As a practising GP and with more than two decades’ experience with our Department of Rural Health in Tamworth, teaching our nation’s next generation of doctors, nurses and allied health workers, she is the right person to fi ll this important role,” he said. Prof Zelinsky said Prof May’s exceptional experience, would position her well to offer advice on reforms to rural health in areas such as primary health care, the health workforce and training. Mr Butler and Prof Robson also paid tribute to the outgoing National Rural Health Commissioner, Adjunct Professor Ruth Stewart. “I thank outgoing commissioner, Adjunct Professor Ruth Stewart, for her work to make sure the voices of rural, regional and remote Australians were amplified and listened to when it comes to their health services,” Mr Butler said. “Adjunct Professor Stewart has been a real champion for change, putting the needs of rural Australians front and centre in health policy development,” Prof Robson added. An Acting National Rural Health Commissioner, will be appointed for the period between July and September, when Professor May commences in the role.

Fake Government phone numbers, ID-scammers claiming to be Police PHONE scams targetting vulnerable Australians are becoming more frequent, with a new trend utilising fake phone numbers, to gain people’s trust. The State Crime Command’s Cybercrime Squad, is urging people to be vigilant about scam calls after seeing an increase in reported “caller ID spoofi ng”. ID or web-based spoofi ng, is where scammers use technology to make it appear that their fake call is originating from a “real” phone number, such as a financial institution or government agency. In recent months, detectives have been made aware of an increase of ID spoofing from scammers pretending to be from NSW Police stations in and around Sydney. However, residents across the State should remain vigilant. The caller will usually impersonate a NSW Police Officer, and tell the person receiving the call they have an outstanding fi ne, before demanding payment to prevent further court action. Cybercrime Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Matt Craft, said the NSW Police will never call a member of the public for payment in order to avoid further police action. “The best way to deal with these types of calls, is to not engage or provide information, and to hang up,” Det Supt Craft said. “A police officer will always be willing to identify themselves and make themselves contactable at a police station. If you’re concerned or want to verify the legitimacy of your call, we recommend contacting the station or Police Assistance Line directly on 131 444,” he added. Demands for information over the phone, are a key feature of scammers, he said. “Always remember that legitimate businesses, organisations, or government departments, will never call a customer seeking confidential information. “Importantly, never give your personal details or credit information out over the phone, unless you are the one who made the call to a trusted number,” Det Supt Craft concluded. Anyone with information about ID spoofi ng that may assist investigators, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. Information is treated in strict confidence. To fi nd more information about scams in general or impersonation scams, or to fi nd out ways to protect yourself, visit the Scamwatch website.

Trangie Junior Judging competition is back on

Last year more than 100 children from across the district, took part in the annual Trangie Junior Judging competition. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Contributed THE much-loved annual Trangie Junior Judging Day is on again, and is being held on the first Monday of the public school holidays, at the Trangie Agricultural Research Station. This year, the Trangie Junior Judging Day’s program includes six sections: Beef Cattle, Merino Sheep, Meat Sheep (Border Leicesters and Poll Dorsets), Merino Fleeces, Cotton, and Grains. Each competitor has the opportunity to participate in all judging sections, within their age division, with plenty of chances to learn new skills, win cash prizes kindly donated by NSW Farmers and have their names inscribed on prestigious 80-year-old trophies and shields. Last year more than 100 children from across the district competed in their aged divisions, including Seniors (15–24 years), Juniors (10– 15 years) and Sub-Juniors (under 10 years). Kath Donoghue from the Trangie Junior Judging team, said the facilities at the NSW DPI’s Trangie Ag Research Centre, will again generously be available for the day.

“The Cattle Section has a perfect open grassy area with yards and plenty of room for the many competitors,” Ms Donoghue said. “The Trangie Judging Day draws keen competitors from not only the Trangie district but surrounding areas as well, often from Warren, Narromine, Nyngan, Nevertire, Tottenham, Parkes, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gulargambone and Orange districts,” she added. Over a number of years, the winners of the Senior section (15–24 years) at Trangie have gone on to win competitions at regional and then State level at Sydney’s Royal Easter Show, after gaining valuable experience from the Trangie Judging Day. Many of the experienced “over-judges” for each section have been judges and stewards at Sydney and numerous local shows, Ms Donoghue added, with the Sub-Junior and Junior groups given a judging overview in each section to boost their knowledge before judging each class. “This year Sub-Juniors will participate in a learning session rather than the competition of the older age groups plus they can have a parent to help them if required. “While the older competitors have

a chance of seeing their name engraved on silver trophies with a long history, many dating back to the 1940’s, with Trangie district identities’ names still visible as previous Junior Judging Champions,” Ms Donoghue said. The event is a full-on day of action for those that sign-up, she explained. “The full day’s program kicks off at 8.30am, at the Cattle Section at the Trangie Ag Research Centre. The entry fee for the day includes a barbecue lunch, while extra snacks and drinks will be on sale too, organisers, and the kids rely on competitors’ parents kindly providing a home-baked slice, cake or packet of bikkies for morning tea,” Ms Donoghue said.

Local pharmacies, can now offer urinary tract infection treatments By HARRIET GILMORE THEY’RE a very common and easily-diagnosed condition, and now our local chemists have been given permission to prescribe effective treatments. A recent trial by the NSW Government to treat simple urinary tract infections (UTIs) at pharmacies across the State, has become permanent, after a successful 12-month test period. The changes are designed to relieve pressure on general practitioner (GP) services and to make it easier for the community to access care. Warren Pharmacy, as well as thousands of other chemists across the State who have completed the required training, can now provide consultations and prescriptions for the treatment of uncomplicated UTIs. During the trial, the NSW Government committed to providing $20 per patient consultation compensation for pharmacies participating in the trial. However, with the UTI service becoming a normal offering, pharmacies may set their own fee for the service, in addition to medication costs. Warren Pharmacist, Sandip Bhandari, said that Warren community can now access simple UTI treatments for just $15 for the consultation, plus the cost of the medication. Mr Bhandari also confi rmed that in addition to the UTI treatments, Warren Pharmacy will also take part in the next phase of the clinical trial program, allowing chemists to prescribe medication for simple skin conditions. “From next month, treatment for shingles, impetigo — commonly referred to as ‘school sores’, dermatitis, and mild psoriasis, will also be available,” Mr Bhandari said. Pharmacists can also issue a resupply of oral contraception as part of the trial as well. The trial is designed to safely expand the capacity of pharmacists in order to re-

lieve workloads on GPs and other primary care settings. The NSW Government’s $6 million statewide community pharmacy trial has helped more than 16,000 women access UTI treatment quickly and conveniently from their local pharmacist. Women will continue to be eligible for UTI treatment at a participating pharmacy provided they are: f aged 18 to 65 years f displaying symptoms consistent with an uncomplicated urinary tract infection f have not had other re cent U TIs or have a high risk of complications. A comprehensive evaluation of the trial by the University of Newcastle is underway, including looking at the number of women who were satisfied with the service, how often antibiotics were supplied, how often women were referred to other services, and what, if any, medical and pharmacy services the trial participants required after the consultation, Health Minister, Ryan Park revealed. “The NSW Government is committed to taking pressure off GPs and primary care services and we are constantly evaluating ways we can deliver healthcare more efficiently as well as safely,” Mr Park said. “Enabling pharmacists to do more will mean many women will get timely access to the care they need, ensuring continuity of care, will be crucial as pharmacy service offerings increase, including strengthened communications between pharmacists and doctors about a patient’s treatment,” he added. Pharmacy Guild of Australia NSW Branch President, David Heffernan said that the new policy has the Guild-s support. “Women across NSW, will benefit from easy access to treatment for painful UTIs,” Mr Heffernan said “Pharmacists are ready to step up and take some of the pressure off of GP clinics and hospitals,” he added.

Warren Pharmacist, Sandip Bhandari, has confirmed that Warren Chemist, will now permanently offer treatments for simple UTIs after changes introduced by the NSW Government after a successful 12 month trial. Mr Bhandari is pictured here with colleagues, Jamie Sinclair and Michelle Wilson.

State budget general wrap-up By NICHOLAS CROKER THE NSW state budget was delivered by treasurer Daniel Mookhey last week and funding announced included housing, roads and disaster recovery, prevention of domestic and family violence, and an investment to boost the capacity of the NSW office of local government. The budget also includes measures to reduce state debt and developing a new ‘Performance and Wellbeing Framework’. Focus areas from the 2024-25 budget include:

Housing HOUSING has been identified as the single biggest pressure facing the people of NSW. Sydney has been found to be the second least affordable place to live in the world, and fi rst in Australia. Up to 30,000 homes will be made available by leveraging surplus government land and public housing construction. These homes will be “well-located,” according to a media release, built close to infrastructure, transportation, and work opportunities. So far, 44 sites have been identified. Surplus land will be made available over the coming four years. A total of $5.1 billion will be spent over four years to build 8,400 public housing dwellings, with 6,200 of these to be new builds. At least half of these new

dwellings will be prioritised for victim-survivors of family and domestic violence. Under these measures, at least 3,100 vulnerable people are expected to have access to new homes. An additional $1 billion will also be spent under this program for critical maintenance on existing housing and to prevent disrepair.

Roads THE road safety budget will be increased by $2.8 billion across the state. In total, the 2024-25 budget contains $44.5 billion for regional transport and roads as part of various state and federal projects. These include $70 million in funding towards Inland Rail related projects, $432.2 million for Newell Highway upgrades, and $28.6 million to upgrade heavy vehicle resting areas around the region. $800,000 has also been invested towards upgrading the intersection of the Newell, Oxley, and Castlereagh Highways on Hargraves Lane and Federation State in Gilgandra. Minister for Western NSW Tara Moriarty said: “These projects will reduce travel times and make roads safer… I’m excited to see these projects progressing locally.” Local Government New South Wales president Darriea Turley said: “The lack of funding for the maintenance of roads is a constant source of frustration and concern for councils across the state and

its exacerbated by recent natural disasters.” “This funding will be very welcome, particularly in rural and regional NSW.”

Medicine and Healthcare AN estimated $189 million has been put towards a new bulk billing initiative to ensure the cost of seeing a general practitioner (GP) remains accessible. Bulk-billing rates will be protected by reducing fi nancial pressures on GP practices so they don’t pass on any additional costs to patients. To this end, a new ongoing payroll tax rebate for contractor clinics that meet the bulk-billing thresholds, along with a waiver for past unpaid payroll tax liability to September 4, will be introduced. These measures have been introduced in an effort to address the significant cost of living pressures faced by households across NSW. Additional to this, $200.1 million for health worker accommodation across rural and regional NSW has been promised as part of wider spending for key worker accommodation. Approximately 500 health workers are expected to benefit. A sum of $274.4 million is being invested to boost staffing at hospitals across NSW.

Infrastructure and Disaster Support A FIGURE of $43.1 million has been allocated to support water infrastructure, reduce leaks and improve water efficiency and drought resilience across NSW. A total of $116.7 million has been reserved to repair critical water and sewerage infrastructure damaged in declared natural disasters. The 2024-25 budget provides $1.4 billion for regional education infrastructure. A sum of 100 new public preschools are to be built across NSW, with half to be built in regional areas. The budget also aims to address teacher shortages in regional, rural and remote parts of NSW through the Priority Recruitment Support program. This program allows schools with longstanding vacancies to advertise a recruitment bonus of up to $20,000, and a relocation support package of up to $8,000 for eligible teachers. Overall, the budget invests $5.7 billion over four years, including Australian Government co-contributions, to continue natural disaster support and recovery programs. This includes $3.3 billion to repair local and state roads in areas impacted by natural disaster. Furthermore, $2 billion for other disaster relief and recovery programs funded through the Disaster Relief Account (DRA) admin-

istered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority.

Planning and Initiatives THE Office of Local Government (OLG) will receive $37.4 million additional funding over four years to double its operational capacity. A total of $200 million has been announced in financial incentives for councils who reach certain targets in housing, infrastructure, roads, open space, and community facilities. Up to $243.7 million over four years has been marked for NSW government planners and technology to speed up the assessment of development applications. This includes $20.4 million to upgrade the planning portal, and $38.3 million for the implementation of ‘Pathways to Prevention’, NSW fi rst dedicated strategy for the prevention of domestic, family, and sexual violence. A restructure of the state’s money management policies will enable an additional $.16 billion return without having to take on any additional borrowings. A new performance and wellbeing framework for public consultation has been developed as part of the 202425 budget. It provides a clear set of measures to track the governments progress on reforms in housing, energy, education, and healthcare.

Differing views on Budget By NICHOLAS CROKER THERE’S been bouquets, brickbats, and both qualified criticism and praise, for last week’s State budget, with much of the commentary, falling along party lines. Labor Party Legislative Councillor, Stephen Lawrence, was predictably-effusive about the Budget announced last Tuesday by Treasurer, Daniel Mookhey, claiming that it had delivered a number of new initiatives to support regional NSW. “The NSW Government has worked on a comprehensive plan, which focuses on taking pressure off NSW households and understands how people want to live, while working to provide better essential services in regional communities,” Mr Lawrence said. “NSW continues to face tough economic conditions… which is why this is a budget that continues to responsibly reduce debt,” he added. Towards addressing the cost-of-living crisis, he said, an estimated $189 million has been put towards a new bulk-billing initiative to ensure the cost of seeing a general practitioner (GP) remains accessible to households. Additionally, $200.1 million for health worker accommodation across rural and regional NSW has been promised as part of wider spending for key worker accommodation. Approximately 500 health workers, are expected to benefit from the initiative, he claimed. However, in a different health take on the Budget, the Primary Care Business Council (PCBC) — a membership body formed to advocate for primary care providers such as GP’s — has called out these measures: “a bad day for General Practice.” The PCBC said the NSW Budget, falls far-short of supporting the needs of primary carers across the State. “The Government’s intention of the Bulk Billing Support Initiative, will not play-

out in reality,” PCBC Chair, Dr Ged Foley, said. “The vast majority of NSW practices, will still be in the cross-hairs come September, the PCBC implores the NSW Government, to come back to the table on the significant challenges facing primary care operators,” he added. Dr Foley said that the de-incentivisation of general practice, would continue under the current system. “The horse has already bolted, GPs across the State have moved-away from bulk-billing, because of decades of falling Federal Government funding, and a payroll tax incentive, will do little to change that. “It is difficult to see any other consequence from this policy, than a continued fall in bulk-billing, and an increase in out-of-pocket costs to patients.” NSW Nationals Leader, Dugald Saunders, was also critical of the Budget and “slammed” the Treasurer for, he said, not showing any consideration or awareness for the needs of regional residents and businesses. “It’s all well and good for Labor to offer toll relief to benefit people in Sydney, but vital measures, like the Regional Seniors Travel Card, and the Regional Apprentice and University Student Travel Card, didn’t even get a lookin,” Mr Saunders said. “Cost-of living support programs like those, along with Active Kids, Creative Kids, First Lap, and the Backto-School Vouchers, really made a difference to families, who will now miss out on that assistance for another year,” he added. There has also been a large funding cut to the Department of Regional NSW, which has gone from $398m this financial year, down to $55m by 2025/2026, he said. The Rural Fire Service, Fire and Rescue, the SES and the Rural Assistance Authority, have also had significant cuts to their funding for the next fi nancial period.

“Last year, more than $800m was spent for the Rural Assistance Authority to link businesses and regional communities to natural disaster support but, somehow, only $31m has been allocated this year,” Mr Saunders said. This comes, he said, amongst rising concerns over the impact of natural disasters on Australian communities, and statements of support from ministers, such as the Minister for Regional Roads and Transport, Jenny Aitchison. “The Labor Government, is treating our regional communities like second-class citizens, by axing the projects and programs that allow them to thrive,” Mr Saunders said. The Budget, however, received praise for its straightto-the-point, “no frills” nature by the local Government NSW (LGNSW), who have also described it as “conservative but positive.” LGNSW President, Councillor Darriea Turley (AM) said. “As widely-anticipated, the Treasurer has handed-down a conservative budget for 2024/25, reflecting the State’s ongoing struggle with post-pandemic and natural disaster budget repair, persistent infl ation, and a deepening housing crisis,” Cr Turley said. “Despite being a tight budget, it’s pleasing to see funding for several key concerns for which LGNSW has advocated strongly,” she added. The 2024/25 budget has received further praise for its focus on addressing the State’s ongoing housing crisis, and its strong investment into rural roads and transport infrastructure. However, critics of the budget have been vocal, regarding the lacklustre investment in maintaining water infrastructure, and a supposed lack of foresight to fund the necessary infrastructure to support the expected increase in housing density across the State.

Changes to state spending, and new development framework By NICHOLAS CROKER AS part of the 2024-25 NSW budget, delivered last Tuesday June 18 by treasurer Daniel Mookhey, it was announced that a restructuring of this state’s money management policy is underway. The restructuring is expected to allow the state government to generate an additional $1.6 billion without having to take on any additional borrowings. Called OneFund, the investment initiative is intended to avoid increasing the state’s debt unnecessarily and avoid passing on these debts to future tax payers. OneFund combines several current state investment funds for the aim of “higher risk-adjusted returns through the pooling of investment portfolios,” according to a Tuesday June 18 media release. Allegedly, this will enable greater operating efficiencies and reduce administration costs. Linked funds include the Debt Retirement Fund, NSW Infrastructure Fund, Social and Affordable Housing Fund, Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund, Treasury Managed Fund, and Long Service Corporation funds. Together, these funds represent approximately $46.7 billion in assets. Also announced as part of

the 2024-25 state budget was a new performance and wellbeing framework. Based on the principle that ‘what gets measured gets done’, the new framework provides a clear set of measures to track the government’s progress on reforms including in housing, energy, education, and healthcare. It comprises eight ‘Wellbeing Themes’ and 28 outcomes. The themes are healthy, skilled, prosperous, housed, secure, community, connected, and sustainable. Each theme is matched with outcomes that cover key government activities and services. It is hoped that, over time, these outcomes will support the wellbeing of NSW residents. To this end, the framework aims to articulate how government performance influences outcomes, strengthen performance reporting to improve the state governments accountability and transparency, improve the quality of data insights for decision-making, and encourage cross-agency collaboration and strategic planning. The NSW government will use public feedback and fi ndings from a public accounts committee inquiry to refi ne the framework.

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

Coalition’s plan for nuclear energy EVERY Australian deserves and should expect access to cheaper, cleaner, and consistent electricity. This is why the Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, last week announced that a future Federal Coalition Government, will introduce zero-emissions nuclear energy in Australia. Nuclear energy has proven to get electricity prices and emissions down all over the world, to work in partnership with renewable energy and gas as part of a balanced energy mix. A key advantage of modern zero-emissions nuclear plants, is they can be plugged into existing grids. This means they can effectively replace retired or retiring coal plants and avoid much of the new spending needed for Labor’s ‘renewables-only’ system. As part of our plan, the Coalition has announced seven locations, at power stations that

have closed or are scheduled to close, where we propose to build zero-emissions nuclear power plants. Each of these locations, including Liddell and Mount Piper power stations in NSW, offer important technical attributes needed for a zero-emissions nuclear plant, including cooling water capacity and transmission infrastructure, that is, we can use the existing poles and wires, along with a local community which has a skilled workforce. Our plan will deliver a net-zero electricity grid by 2050 and a strong and resilient economy. It will set our country up for decades to come.

National roads survey I’M calling on residents of the Parkes electorate to nominate a road or intersection in need of upgrade by completing a national road survey, launched this month by Shadow Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Tony Pasin. Labor has allowed the national road network to fall into disrepair, with billions of dollars in funding cuts and delays since coming into Government. Roads throughout the Parkes electorate aren’t receiving the maintenance and upgrades they need, and the impacts of these funding cuts — particularly to our local councils —

are being felt by road-users and residents. As someone who regularly travels across hundreds of kilometres within the Parkes electorate, I know fi rst-hand how terrible some parts of the road network have become. I encourage residents to shine a light on the condition of our roads by taking part in this national survey.

Gunnedah, Moree, and Narrabri visits LAST week, I enjoyed catching up with the councils, constituents and various community groups in Gunnedah, Narrabri, and Moree. I caught up with a number of community groups that have recently received Volunteer Grants, including Gunnedah Rural Museum ($1500), Gunnedah Meals on Wheels ($1000), Gunnedah Pony Club ($5000), 1st Narrabri West Scouts ($1000) and Narrabri Meals on Wheels ($2000). Each of these groups, will use their funding for fuel vouchers or new equipment that will make it easier for their volunteers to continue the great work they do in the community. I met with the Mayors and/or Deputy Mayors of Gunnedah Shire Council, Narrabri Shire, and Moree Plains Shire Council to discuss a range of issues such as the Narrabri gas pipeline and the Inland Rail, as well as the exciting projects

As your local MP I’m always willing to listen to your concerns and help in any way I can. Please contact me if you require assistance with any Federal Government matters.

In Gunnedah, I visited Allawah House — a crisis accommodation for women, children and pets escaping domestic violence. It was opened by Jobs Australia in 2022, and has been full ever since. Sadly, the team are now turning women away weekly. Jobs Australia is hoping to build a second cottage on the same site to help ease the demand, and I am committed to doing what I can to help secure funding for this much-needed expansion. Also in Gunnedah, I met with Tim MacKellar from Mackellar Resources who is

looking into establishing a solar panel recycling industry in Gunnedah which would create some exciting opportunities for the region and the wider electorate. Solar panels are becoming increasingly important with the current shift towards renewable energy, however one of the biggest issues we’ll face is what to do with the solar e-waste when these panels reach their end of life. It’s people like Tim and electorates like ours that can help lead the way when it comes to developing innovative solutions for renewables, and I look forward to seeing how this develops over the coming years.

Grains Australia welcomes India’s ending of tariffs on desi chickpeas GRAINS Australia (GA) has welcomed India’s suspension of tariffs on desi chickpeas, as a great outcome for both the Australian and the Indian pulse markets. In May, the Indian Government suspended the tariffs that had been equivalent to about 66 per cent, with the decision effective until March 31, 2025. Tariffs on chickpeas initially equating to 33 per cent were fi rst established by India in 2017/2018, effectively eliminating Australian chickpea exports into India — the world’s biggest consumer of chickpeas. Grains Australia Pulse Council Chair, Peter Wilson, said the suspension of the tariffs was likely to deliver more reliable pricing for Australian chickpeas and add depth to already solid markets. “It will increase competition for Australian chickpeas which are already exported into other important markets including Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan,” Mr Wilson said. Grains Australia General Manager, Trade and Market Access, John Ackerman said GA, in collaboration with industry and government, looked forward to working with the Indian Government to build on the important development. “It is a wonderful opportu-

nity and we will be focused on ensuring we are meeting the needs of our chickpea markets, including supplying an affordable, high quality product,” Dr Ackerman said. An initiative of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), Grains Australia is responsible for vital industry services and functions that improve the industry’s competitiveness and profitability. GA, with support from the Australian Government, was represented in New Delhi earlier this year at ‘Pulses 2024’, the annual conference of the Global Pulse Confederation and a major event on the global pulse calendar. The event provided opportunities to communicate with Indian government and industry representatives, and a brochure Australian pulses – partnering with India was produced for the conference outlining details of Australia’s valued pulse trading relationship with India. This interaction has delivered positive results for Australian farmers. “This welcome decision by the Indian Government shows the value of continued, respectful government and industry engagement with a highly valued trading partner,” Mr Wilson said.

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

G’day folks, LAST week the budget was brought down by the state government and the news wasn’t all good, but it also wasn’t all bad. For one thing during a particularly tough budget, we managed to hold on to the spend in Barwon rather than take any cuts like some other electorates. But there were some big gains in important areas. After the flurry of activity over the budget things are settling down, parliament doesn’t sit again until August, but that doesn’t mean things come to a standstill. I will be out and about around Barwon over the coming weeks meeting with ministers and also constituents.

The state budget THE budget just brought down by treasurer Daniel Mookhey was never going to be a big-spending budget. Over the past few years NSW has faced some major fi nancial challenges, like natural disaster recovery, a cut in GST revenue, and a huge debt racked up by previous government spending, so this budget is one formulated by a government trying to bring down the debt while trying to maintain delivery of important projects. One thing I advocated for strongly with the treasurer was equity for the bush, that any cuts that needed to be made would be no worse in the country than cuts made in the cities. Having said that I feel confident that Barwon’s needs have been recognised in what has been a very tough budget. I have also been given a commitment that the government will undertake a much-needed review of youth services in Barwon. For too long there have been concerns that the millions being spent on these programs are not delivering what is needed to reduce negative interactions between the community and police. A review will identify whether the money can be better used. This is something that is desperately needed, along with a broader review of service delivery standards for health and education, and to have delivery standards set in legalisation. I remain committed to seeing this happen in this term of parliament.

Justice and youth crime A $66.9 MILLION investment will be made in community programs aimed at reducing youth crimes and building safer communities, which will benefit Barwon. Bourke Police Citizens Youth Club will receive $40,000 for refurbishment, and the Walgett Police Citizens Youth Club’s Afternoon Activity Program will receive $30,000. $13.3 million continuation for significant upgrades to Bourke Police Station. Health f Funding of $2.3 million over four years for the Royal Far West to continue providing high service to bush communities. f Continuation of the $30 million Wentworth Health Service Redevelopment. f A $15.3 million investment in Key Health Worker Accommodation in the Far West Region. f $12 million Broken Hill Hospital Emergency Department. f New Broken Hill Mental Health Unit funded as part of the State’s $669.8 million Statewide Mental Health Infrastructure Program. Education f Three new public preschools at Bourke Public School, Menindee Central School and Morgan Street Public School. f The $10 million Western NSW Workforce Activation Package will be used to establish, expand, or upgrade early childhood and education care across Bourke, Broken Hill, and Cobar. f Cobar High School Upgrade. f 163 casual education staff to be made permanent. f More than $100 million for schools across Barwon, including the rebuild of Willyama High School in Broken Hill. Transport f $28.6 million was allocated to build new heavy vehicle rest stops to help combat driver fatigue. Environment and Water f $36.3 million for Nyngan to Cobar Pipeline and Pumping Stations. f $22.9 million for Wilcannia Weir. f A biosecurity investment of $945.7 million will be made to address pest management control and the continuation of the feral pig program. f To maintain access to water and waste-water services for Essential Water customers, $5.3 million in water rebates will be given to eligible pen-

sioners and others experiencing fi nancial hardship. Heritage f $200,000 to conduct a scoping into the potential repatriation of the Collarenebri carved trees.

Western Air Services CONCERNS have been raised with me that the budget lacked continued funding for western air services. I have sought a meeting with Tara Moriarty, minister for regional NSW, to discuss the ongoing support of this service, which links the people of Bourke, Walgett, and Lightning Ridge to Dubbo. Western air services’ transport linkages provide much-needed access to health services, social opportunities for remote and rural communities and major economic benefits to our major industries. The primary objective of the meeting is to provide minister Moriarty with the specific expertise of the representatives from the Far West Joint Organisation, AirLink, and FlyPelican, who are well-versed in the operations and challenges of Western Air Services. The meeting will also explore an alternate funding strategy through the Regional Trust Fund to ensure the service’s continuity.

King’s Birthday Honours THERE are people in communities across Barwon who do some amazing work, without any real thought of reward. Which is why it is so good to see that some great people were honoured in this year’s King Birthday Honours list a couple of weeks ago. I want to congratulate Colleen Boucher of Cobar, who was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for “service to the community of Cobar”. Colleen was also the 2024 Barwon’s Citizen of the Year. She runs the alterations shop Needles and Pins, along with being involved with the CWA and Cobar Cadets. I also congratulate Richard Scilley, a well-known Narrabri firefighter who was awarded an Australian Fire Service Medal (AFSM). Richard first volunteered to fight fires back in 1975, when the Rural Fire Service was known as the ‘Bush Fire Service’. He has served as group captain of the Namoi/Gwydir since 2011 and is a role model for young people in the region interested in volunteering.

Hind Street project HAVING a good neighbourhood to call home is an im-

portant thing. For some time now, my team and I have been working with the Hind Street community in Narrabri, with the objective of making the area a better place for the residents and especially the kids to live and grow up in. They are not after anything luxurious or unreasonable. What they need is better lighting, playgrounds, sidewalks - not much, but they are all things that go towards making the area a better place to live and raise a family. The week before last members of my team, the mayor and I shared a barbecue breakfast with the community to discuss progress on the neighbourhood’s rejuvenation. The Narrabri shire has agreed to the development of a master plan and funds have been requested. We will keep working toward the best possible result for the community. I will keep you updated.

Community Building Partnerships NOT long before the budget, the results of the 2023 Community Building Partnership round were announced. Around $300,000 has been allocated to a wide range of infrastructure projects across Barwon. From projects as simple as bike racks, to more complex recreation hall upgrades, to essential accessibility projects and new defibrillators – I’ve tried to spread the funding around so that it gets to a cross section of communities and groups across Barwon. Some projects are getting a kick-start with fundraising; others have been funded in full. All are great news for those who were successful in their applications. This can be a difficult and daunting process. It will be great to see work begin on the following projects: f Broken Hill Pistol Club Inc – renovations to the kitchen and clubhouse $29,500. f SSAA (NSW) Condobolin Branch Inc – branch site upgrade $20,000. f Packsaddle Progress Association – repairs to the Community Hall $10,000. f West Darling Machinery Preservation Society Broken Hill Inc – shelter over the platform and train $20,000. f West Broken Hill Football Club – electrical and flooring project $31,552. f White Cliffs Gymkhana Club – amenities block $6375. f PCYC Bourke – supply and installation of CCTV system $28,035. f Ivanhoe Campdraft Association – campdraft ground improvements $14,043.

f Walgett PCYC – Bike Rack Installation $7500. f Robinson Education Centre – skills centre enhancing facilities $15,000 f Arthur Butler Aviation Museum – Tooraweenah Aerodrome Capital Works Project $20,000. f Grawin Opal Miners Sports and Recreation Club Ltd $23,538. f Nyngan Pony Club Inc – kitchen refurbishment $23,870. f Northern NSW Football Ltd - accessible defibrillator project $23,960 f Contact Inc – building Wanaaring’s social, economic strength and sustainability $8904. f Gilgandra Sporting Club – shade hall $15,800.

Non-government health services in Barwon

ONCE upon a time it used to be taken as read that if you grew up in the country you would live a healthier life than people who lived in the crowded, polluted cities. Just over twenty years ago, growing up in the country meant that you had a higher life expectancy than people in large urban centres. However, the decline in the regional health system has reversed that; people in the bush now have a much lower life expectancy than people from large metropolitan areas. The reason is that they don’t have the same access to medical services. The top 10 reasons for people dying in the country include several that are preventable diseases, but without equal access to medical services those causes of death bring down the average life expectancy. The Regional Health Inquiry, which released its report in 2022, found reasons for the decline in the health system and handed down 44 recommendations for fixing the problems. While an inquiry, chaired by my colleague and friend Dr Joe McGirr, looks into implementing those recommendations, there are things that we should be doing right now to shore up and ultimately improve the health system in the bush. One major thing that should be done is to look after the non-government operators like Royal Flying Doctors, Royal Far West, Variety, Little Wings, Angel Flight and Air Med, without whom the regional health system could not properly function. Last week, I delivered a private member’s statement talking about regional health and the role of those non-government operators. To see the entire speech go to my website.

Contributed WONDERFUL advice was provided by local sporting and fitness guru, Wes Hamilton, the guest speaker at a well-attended VIEW Club Luncheon held last Wednesday, June 19. Wes, an accredited exercise physiologist, spoke at the event about his background and of moving back to Warren to take on the position of Centre Manager of the Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre and work providing allied health services within Warren. Wes’ roles in Warren also includes training and assessment for the Royal Life Saving Society and the NRL (National Rugby League), offering services to Warren and surrounding central and far western NSW areas Wes informed the VIEW ladies about the importance of lower limb strength and balance as we age, to reduce the risk of injury, falls, and hospitalisation.

including Medicare, NDIS, and Commonwealth assisted Aged Care Plans. He also touched on the importance of vitamin D exposure, particularly during winter, to improve bone health and also some aerobic exercises to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and other cardiovascular risk factors. There are simple ways for all of us, he explained, to improve areas of our wellbeing like balance, strength, and general health. “Don’t forget ladies, when you are making your cup of tea, to check your balance by standing for 10 seconds on one leg,” he said. “Then, don the shorts and t-shirt, and venture outdoors to get your daily dose of vitamin D from the sun — when it’s shining, of course!” he added. Club President, Maria, also presented Wes with a gift of appreciation for fi nding the time to visit and relay these important health messages. Five new member badges

were also presented during the June meeting, including to Kym Owens, Patti Plunkett, Val Soulsby, Elaine Sandell, and Annette Bryant. The Services Club auditorium was, once again, setup impressively with the VIEW Club really appreciating the work the staff provide each month. VIEW Zone Councillor for the NH area, Lorraine Falkiner-Smith, also visited Dubbo VIEW Club for their luncheon meeting last Monday, June 17 and said it was a most enjoyable day. The next Warren VIEW Club luncheon will be held on Wednesday, July 17, and everyone is welcome to attend where the “Learning for Life” table will feature a miniature ornament. “We look forward to seeing you there, as we continue working together to support The Smith Family’s ‘Learning for Life’ program to assist disadvantaged children with their educational needs,” a Club spokesperson concluded.

Dubbo’s Alanna one of eight scholarship winners boosting community transport ALANNA Gallagher from LiveBetter Community Services in Dubbo, is one of eight industry scholarships to have been awarded to the community transport sector. The scholarships worth $3400 each, are to provide professional development to people working for one of Transport for NSW’s contracted Community Transport Service Providers. The scholarships are sponsored by Transport and the University of Sydney’s Institute of Logistical Studies (ITLS) and this year they have been awarded five outer metropolitan, rural and regional

community transport professionals and three in Sydney. The 2024 awardees include Alanna Gallagher from LiveBetter Community Services in Dubbo with other outer metropolitan, rural and regional recipients including Jo-Ann Fletcher from Tablelands Community Transport in Uralla, Karen Orr from The Community Transport Company in Tweed Heads, Bianca Padbury from Snowy Monaro Regional Council in Cooma and Matt Healey from Community Transport Central Coast. As part of their scholarship, they will attend a four-

day course in Sydney next month (16-19 July) and receive a Certificate of Transport Management which equips transport professionals to run more efficient, safe, and successful services. Transport for NSW’s director of community transport Amy McCann congratulated the scholarship recipients. “It is wonderful to see these dedicated professionals in the community transport sector developing skills so they can better serve their clients, who are transport disadvantaged by factors such as age, mobility, health issues or location,” Ms McCann said.

Complimentary handsets, as Telstra helps customers say goodbye to 3G HELPING smooth the waters of change, Telstra is giving some customers facing hardships, complimentary handsets to ensure that they stay connected after the 3G network closure at the end of August. The telephone giant is providing around 12,000 complimentary mobile devices for customers who are in “difficult situations”, live rurally or are elderly. These are customers who may need some external support transition when the 3G network closes, they said. These customers are believed to be in difficult situations and facing issues such as fi nancial hardship or are recovering from natural disasters. Some of these customers also depend on a working phone, because they are living with a life-threatening medical condition. Many of these customers are also over 80-years-old and living in regional areas, which can make visiting our stores challenging. Telstra is coordinating this delivery of complimentary mobile devices in partnership with The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army’s Major Brendan Nottle, said that this initiative will benefit the most-vulnerable members of our community. “Connection is one of the most im-

portant things to maintain in our society, whether it is with friends and family or with housing and support services,” Maj Nottle said. “Ensuring that every Australian, from any background or level of income, can take part in our modern digital society is crucial,” he added. Mobile phones, he added, are now much more than just a way to keep in touch. “A phone can be a gateway to social inclusion, community connection, and support and, with the upcoming closure of 3G networks in Australia, it is important for us to reach out and ensure that this can continue for everyone. “While the majority of customers still using 3G devices are aware and able to take action, we wanted to make sure we’re taking extra care of those who need an extra hand ahead of the upcoming transition,” he said. Telstra will communicate with eligible customers in the coming weeks to let them know a device is on its way. Back in April, Telstra also launched an easy to use SMS tool to check if your phone needs an upgrade ahead of the switch — it’s encouraging Aussies to SMS the numeric “3” to 3498, to check if their phones need an upgrade ahead of the 3G shutdown.

“It is important to encourage leaders in the community transport sector so they can best deliver quality, reliable, affordable transport,” she added. Chair in Public Transport, Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) at University of Sydney Business School, Professor John Nelson, said the scholarship will upskill participants through a sector leading course. “The Certificate of Transport Management covers the fundamentals of management as well as the latest developments in the bus and coach industry including NSW Gov-

ernment Policy, mobility as a service, digital disruption, marketing and passenger relations and zero emission buses,” Prof Nelson said. Transport for NSW contracts 68 community transport operators to provide services to around 60,000 clients each year, using more than 900 community transport vehicles such as minibuses and vans. These clients make around 1.59 million trips each year, with 55 percent of these trips taken in rural, regional, and remote NSW.

Look at how our residents use tap water, across our regions NSW GOVERNMENT is seeking to get a clearer picture of how residents in parts of regional NSW use treated drinking water. By putting a spotlight on how often we are turning-on the taps or flushing the toilet, the aim is to help improve water efficiency The State is investing $163,500 to fund an innovative trial that will measure water consumption in Ballina, Bathurst, Dubbo and the Murray River Council areas over the next six months using smart meters and cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The study is being conducted by Griffith University using its AI software program, Autoflow, to pinpoint how many litres of water are being used in the household and for what purposes. Autoflow uses existing knowledge pre-determined by other water usage studies to analyse smart meter data and categorise the information into different household activities. These insights will lift the lid on water consumption patterns that will enable government and local water utilities to make more informed water management decisions particularly during drought and peak demand periods. Executive Director of Operations Resilience for the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, and Water, Ashraf El-Sherbini believes the data is crucial because many people wouldn’t know how much how much water they use during everyday tasks. “This study will bring smart meters and AI technology together to help us understand exactly how much water is being used in regional homes and for what purposes,” Mr El-Sherbini said. “Looking at supply and demand trends will enable government and local water utilities to make more in-

formed decisions about water management in regional NSW,” he added. He said that trials in metropolitan cities on the project have been successful. It is the fi rst time a study of this kind has been carried out in regional NSW using AI technology that will provide new information that will allow communities to better plan and manage water. Ballina, Bathurst, Dubbo, and the Murray River Council were chosen to be part of the trial for two reasons. Firstly, because they already have smart meters installed across homes and secondly the three areas represent a good cross section of regional NSW from the southern, central and western inland to the coast. Traditionally, households have used water meters that need to be read every few months to capture water use, making it hard to understand what the water is being used for. Smart meters are digital devices that can send measurement information to Local Water Utilities remotely. The project is being delivered by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water through its NSW Water Efficiency Program. The trial is currently underway with the results expected to be handed down later this year. “Our innovative Artificial Intelligence software model has been created using existing water data and various AI techniques to identify usage trends and patterns that are captured on the smart meter,” Professor Rodney Stewart from the Griffith University School of Engineering and Built Environment, said. “The software will then harvest this information and categorise it into different residential activities from flushing a toilet to running a bath and watering the garden,” he concluded.

Grace sings at Opera House, on Moorambilla Voices’ tour

By HARRIET GILMORE

WARREN student, Grace Leonard, was one of 40 youth from across the region who were selected to perform with the Moorambilla Voices’ MAXed OUT Choir at the Sydney Opera House and at Government House in Canberra last week. Moorambilla Voices is an award-winning regional choir of excellence that works with children and young people living in regional and remote NSW. The seven-day tour, included performances at the Sydney Opera House with Grammy Award-winning English vocal ensemble, VOCES8, as well as a performance at Canberra’s Government House for an intimate event in honour of the organisation’s patron, the Governor-General,Her Excellency, Mrs Linda Hurley. The ensemble also featured on Channel Seven’s “Sunrise” program on Sunday morning, performing Taiko drumming live on national television. The program is led by Moorambilla Voices’ founder and Artistic Director, Michelle Leonard (OAM), who said the tour was an “amazing” opportunity for the regional youth of Moorambilla Voices.

“This is a once in a lifetime experience that goes beyond the wildest dreams of many of our youth,” Ms Leonard said. “They’ve showcased our regional capacity, through performances of new musical works, many of which feature Indigenous Australian Language, that connect all of us to this magnificent country and, in doing so, contribute positively to national conversations about inclusion and respect,” she added. The tour also provided an opportunity to showcase the talent of the next generation of contributors from the country. “These exceptional high school-aged students, are Australia’s future leaders, and we are delighted to offer them opportunities to showcase them, and our country on the world stage. “They come from towns with limited access to music education, most never having had the opportunity to sing in a choir, dance or drum, so, the opportunity to take these stages, meet and perform with world-renowned musicians, record original works, make new friends and develop a life-long love of music, is certainly one to celebrate,” Ms Leonard concluded.
