Three Council ladies put hands-up, to serve community one more time STORY: PAGE 6 Infrastructure plea to Regional Transport and Roads Minister RECENTLY making a presentation to a Parliamentary inquiry in Dubbo on the funding shortfall facing local government, proved the perfect time for Warren Council to have a serious chat with a visiting senior State Government politician. The drop-in — by NSW Regional Transport and Roads Minister, Jenny Aitchison, and State Member for Barwon, Roy Butler — focused on critical infrastructure vital to the region’s future development and resilience. “It was a productive visit by the Minister, who we believe left with a clear understanding, of our requested projects and the concerns of Warren Shire Council,” Warren General Manager, Gary Woodman said. Key issues discussed during the Minister’s visit, included: f Warren Roundabout Reconstruction Funding: Funding by Transport for NSW was a priority topic, highlighting the necessity for improved traffic management and safety. f Gunningbar Creek Rail Bridge Replacement and Rail Line Maintenance: Emphasis was placed on the importance of these projects for local connectivity and economic sustainability. f Roads Grant Funding: The lack of roads grant funding for 2023/2024 and beyond was a critical concern, affecting the region’s infrastructure development.

Warren community pays its respects to a young life lost By SHARON BONTHUYS SUPPORTING the youth of Warren was a high-priority for the Warren Youth Support Group (WYSG), following the tragic death of 16-year-old Lewis Leonard late last month. Just three days after the motorbike crash that took Lewis’ life, the WYSG team led more than 150 people on a memorial walk from their Burton Street base to the crash site, where ﬂowers were laid and a minute’s silence was observed to remember and reﬂect. WYSG spokesperson, Kelly Sinclair, told the Warren Star that Lewis was known to many young people locally. The group, which runs the Warren Youth Centre and Community Hub and actively engages with the town’s youth, staged the memorial walk on Wednesday, July 24, to provide additional support to local youth grieving his loss. “We also wanted to show our love and support to the family,” Ms Sinclair added. WYSG encouraged the community to join the walk, to show the Leonard family they were not alone in their grief. Continued page 4

From page 1 A mix of fresh and artiﬁcial ﬂowers were provided to memorial walkers, with all items distributed at the crash site, Ms Sinclair said. “Although it was a very sad occasion, we were just showing each other support and strength, and letting the kids know they were not alone in their grief,” she explained. “It was more about being together and to grieve together,” she added. Ms Sinclair said a number of organisations had reached-out to offer support to the community following the Sunday, July 21 tragedy, including headspace, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, NSW Health, and Marathon Health. “The Dubbo Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer has also been out to the community,” Ms Sinclair said. Ongoing support will continue to

be available, Ms Sinclair said, including WYSG’s in-house youth counselling service that is available for any youth who needs advice and support. WYSG is also a host employer for the Marathon Health Youth Outreach Project, a culturally-safe outreach support service in ten communities without easy access to a headspace centre. This support would also be available to the town’s youth. Lewis Leonard passed away on the afternoon of July 21 after emergency services were called to the Oxley Highway, near Riﬂe Range Road, following reports of a crash involving two motorbikes. Police are investigating the incident, and a report will be prepared for the Coroner. With young Lewis farewelled in a service at Warren this week, his

family has expressed their gratitude to the local community for the outpouring of support shown to them. “We don’t have the words for the gratitude we are feeling,” Felicity Leonard said. “We are extremely grateful to the whole community for the support they have given.” If you or someone you know needs support, please contact: 131114 Lifeline, lifeline.org.au 1300 78 99 78 MensLine, mensline. org.au 1300 224 636 Beyond Blue, be- yondblue.org.au/forums 1800 551 800 Kids Helpline, kidshelpline.com.au 13YARN(13 92 76), counseling support for Indigenous Australi- ans. 13yarn.org.au

Bringing back glory days of the Dep’t of Ag, Saunders pledges FOR 115 years it had remained the Department of Agriculture, the oldest continuously-operating government agency in NSW. Now NSW Nationals Leader and State Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, has vowed to revive those glory days, by to making the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) its own separate business unit again. Mr Saunders made the promise at the recent NSW Farmers Conference, if the Coalition is elected in 2027. Mr Saunders claims that DPI is being “watered-down” after it was completely absorbed by the Department of Regional NSW (DRNSW) labelling the decision: “unfair, unreasonable, and unnecessary”. “The new joint Department is… being coordinated by the Premier’s Office in Sydney, which completely misses the point, because having people who live and work in the regions — supporting the regions — is crucial to giving our communities the voice they need and deserve,” Mr Saunders said. “DPI needs autonomy, and we have shown that’s what works best as we go through the cycle of droughts, ﬂoods, ﬁ res and major biosecurity outbreaks… it’s my main priority to stand-up for our farmers, and that won’t happen with DPI in its current cloudy.

He also raised concerns over changes to Local Land Services (LLS) which has seen the pay allocated to Local Board Members and the Chair cut by about two thirds since Chris Minns became Premier. “The reality is LLS is being downsized, and again there’s too much control from Macquarie Street, which means at some point the “local” part we all know works really well will be a distant memory,” Mr Saunders said. “When I was lucky enough to be the

Minister, I uplifted pay rates to ensure we attracted the best people we could, but now less pay means less ability to travel to get the local information needed to make the same difference they have in the past.” There were also calls for more balance when it comes to Labor’s biodiversity plan, which poses a risk to the livelihoods of every farmer across NSW. Mr Saunders warned against increasing restrictions on the existing Land Management Native Vegetation Codes, which allow farmers to have a say when it comes to their own land.

From page 1 f SH7 Mitchell Highway and SH11 Oxley Highway Rest Area Facility Upgrade/Improvement: Discussions focused on the need for upgraded rest area facilities to improve road safety and driver comfort. f Road Flood Damage Restoration Program: Practical time allowances for the completion of ﬂood damage restoration works were addressed to ensure timely and efficient recovery. f Reimbursement for Flood Emergency Operations Costs: The Minister expressed support for the Council’s request to receive reimbursement for

Uncertainty as Rex Airlines enters voluntary administration By SHARON BONTHUYS SHOCKWAVES rippled across the country last week at the surprise news that Rex Airlines - and other subsidiaries of Regional Express Holdings Limited, known commonly as The Rex Group - has entered voluntary administration. In a statement released on July 30, the Rex Group indicated that only the company’s domestic routes between major cities serviced by its fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft were impacted at this stage, with all 737 fl ights grounded. The statement said that its regional Saab 340 fl ights will continue to operate. “Pre-paid ticket-holders will continue to have their tickets honoured by the Rex Group on regional routes,” the statement added. How long this guarantee will remain in place for regional ticket-holders, however, is unknown at this time, with competitor, Virgin Australia, offering Rex customers a lifeline. “Rex and Virgin Australia are also exploring opportunities to support regional customers, which include Virgin Australia selling Rex’s region-

al services through codeshare or interline arrangements, and making Velocity Frequent Flyer beneﬁts available to Rex’s regional customers,” the statement indicated. The Rex Group also announced that eligible customers on 13 domestic routes overlapping those serviced by Virgin Australia would be re-accommodated on those ﬂ ights as close as practicable to their original time of travel, where possible.

Rex’s regional significance THE organisation that was born in the bush and has as its tagline “Our Heart is in the Country” provides the primary commercial aviation services to many regional locations across the country. If those services were lost to regional communities, the impacts would be catastrophic. Dubbo is one of the 47 regional locations currently serviced by Rex Airlines. NSW Nationals leader and state member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, was quick to comment on the shock announcement. “The recent news around

Rex Airlines is very concerning to anyone who lives or works in regional NSW,” Mr Saunders posted to social media. “Not only is the carrier crucial to the 2.5 million people that use it every year, but it has also played a role in freight and medical transport,” he added. “I’ll be watching any developments closely in the coming days, but the state and federal Labor governments need to make sure our regional communities won’t be left stranded by this situation,” Mr Saunders concluded.

Domestic growth and regional cuts IT has been an “interesting” year for The Rex Group so far, expanding domestic services to major urban centres across Australia while prolonging some regional network reductions that were implemented in various stages in 2023. These reductions were blamed on “continuing dislocated supply chains post-COVID” that reportedly impacted the provision of aircraft engine spare parts. The existing regional net-

work reductions were set to continue through until October 27, according to a company statement released on February 2. “Rex is committed to the rebuilding of its regional network, and intends to return to the standard fl ight schedules from October 27, 2024, subject to the situation improving,” Rex’s general manager of network strategy, Warrick Lodge, explained at that time. Just five-weeks-ago, ahead of its fi rst domestic fl ights to Perth from Melbourne and Adelaide, the company also boasted it had “toppled both Qantas and Virgin to be the most-reliable major airline in Australia” according to figures at that time. “We are excited to be bringing our jets to Perth, and cannot wait for passengers on our new services to WA to experience the country style hospitality Rex is famous for,” Rex chairman - and former federal transport and regional development minister - John Sharp AM said in a statement in late June. “Every time Rex enters a new domestic market, there has been downward pressure on airfares, so our message

to Australians is, if you want competition, all you have to do is support it.”

What else is impacted? THE Rex subsidiaries impacted by the voluntary administration, which will be managed by Ernst and Young Australia, include Regional Express Holdings Limited, Regional Express Pty Limited, Rex Airlines Pty Ltd, Rex Investment Holdings Pty Limited, and Air Partners Pty Ltd. It is unknown at this stage if the administration will also apply to wholly-owned Rex subsidiaries Pel-Air Aviation, which provides air freight, aeromedical and charter operations, the Australian Airline Pilot Academy, which has campuses in Wagga Wagga and Ballarat, and propeller maintenance provider, Australian Aerospace Propeller Maintenance. Rex is also a 50 per cent shareholder of premier ﬂy-inﬂy-out charter and freight operator, National Jet Express. None of these organisations were listed in the schedule of subsidiaries impacted by the voluntary administration.

Folklore and stories at Lawdy Clawdy LAWDY Clawdy including Greg Storer, Bonnie Storer and Fran Evans will be collecting stories and folklore from locals this coming weekend. “Everyone from across the Warren Shireboth young and old and all inbetween- are invited to come out and share their good local yarns with Greg, Bonnie and Fran at three different locations across the weekend. “We really want people from all walks of life to come out.... shearers, jackaroos, folk off farms, folk in town, members of the CWA, Rotary, men’s shed, golfers, teachers, butchers, nurses, families who lives at the Beemunnel, people up the river, people down the river.... from Marra to Marthaguy, Nevertire to Collie! Some of the more mature residents of our community have cracking stories about the past. And we want to hear them. We want

to write songs based on the incredible narrative of our region. Songs are the original way of archiving history and passing on knowledge. Greg, Bonnie and Fran already have two songs to share live at each gathering which demonstrate how we will carefully transform stories into songs. Can’t wait to hear your stories! The project has been generously supported by Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) and Outback Arts. Both of these organisations invest so much into creative projects across our shire. The Warren Chamber Music Festival in partnership with Lawdy Clawdy received two grants to get James Gillard, a respected Australian Producer to work on the project. An EP will be released early next year!

Three Council ladies put hands-up, to serve community one more time

Cr Walker. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

By DAVID DIXON THREE current women representatives on Warren Shire, have conﬁ rmed that they are likely to put their hands up for another round on the Council rodeo, at the Saturday, September 14 poll. In good news for female representation in local government, current Deputy Mayor, Cr Sarah Derrett, is looking forward to standing one more time; Cr Ros Jackson said she “hopes” to run; while Cr Jo Van Eldonk declared that she’s a certainty. Warren Star has been told however, that Cr Katrina Walker is not likely to contest the local poll for Warren shire. Cr Derrett — as current Deputy Mayor from B Ward — is the highest-ranking current councillor to conﬁ rm they will seek another chance serving grass-roots democracy in Warren, after current Mayor, Cr Milton Quigley said he is ending his two-decade’s service to the Shire. “I will be running again as a councillor, I like to be involved, and I have enjoyed my time there,” the two-term Cr Derrett said. “I’ve always had a keen interest in local government, and feel strongly about wanting to be part of Council decision-making, because I want to help ensure the best-possible outcomes the Warren Shire,” she added Having previously worked for Council and now a stay-

home mum for young daughters, Claudia and Anita, while also doing the books for her husband’s building business, has offered her a good perspective on how local government works. “Centre Manager and Economic Development Officer, gave me a good understanding of Council operations, and I have learned a great deal more since. “Growing-up on my family’s farm in Brewarrina and working in Sydney prior to moving to Warren, has (also) given me a well-rounded perspective that I think is beneficial to the role,” Cr Derrett said. She said that for such a small Shire, Warren has been wellserved by its two most recent mayors, Rex Wilson (OAM) and Milton Quigley; with all other councillors serving the Shire “selflessly”. “I believe Warren Shire has a bright future ahead as a great place to live, work and bring-up a family,” Cr Derrett said. “As Councillors though, we have a fundamental responsibility to listen to what our community wants, in that regard, I strongly support proactive communication and consistent consultation,” she concluded. Former local newspaper editor, Cr Ros Jackson, said she has enjoyed her fi rst term on Council for B Ward, after a previous high-flying corporate career in the City. “I believe that being a coun-

cillor is all about giving back to your community, it was quite humbling to be elected actually, and I have tried to give my best to the job,” Cr Jackson revealed. “My professional background is in risk-management, compliance and service integrity,” she said, adding: “I don’t know much about farming or roads, but that has been okay, as we do have other councillors with a strong interest and background in those areas. I’ve certainly learnt a lot along the way!” Shortly after moving here, Cr Jackson became a journalist with the former Warren Weekly, and says that it was this experience that ﬁ rst sparked her interest in becoming a councillor. “I feel that our main role as councillors, is to represent the views of our constituents and then work together as a group to try and ensure that our community gets the services it needs,” she continued. “Whether it’s supporting a resident with an issue, or helping to shape the community by driving new ideas, it’s helpful to have a diverse range of individuals from varying backgrounds, especially when they are keen to make a difference.” Cr Jackson is also philosophical about the more prosaic aspects of being a councillor. “Of course there are plenty of meetings and a lot of reading; those things come with the territory,” she laughed.

“It’s a large part of the job, and I was not really surprised by the amount of red tape involved in getting things done.” She said the ﬁ nancial constraints on Council and its reliance on outside money was, though, a real surprise. “I would say that the biggest eye-opener for me, was the fact that we do have to rely so much on government grant funding in order to complete a lot of our projects. “However, we are fortunate we have a very hard-working team at Warren Shire Council, they all do a fantastic job.” Cr Jackson encouraged local ratepayers with something to say, to consider putting their best foot forward and nominate for the next term of council. “There are plenty of people who will help guide and support any new councillors, so please don’t be shy. “All you really need is energy, passion, and a hard-working attitude,” she enthused, concluding: “I believe that serving as a councillor is a brilliant way to make a real difference to your local community.” First-time Councillor, Jo Van Eldonk a local café owner, confirmed she intends to nominate again for the next four-year term of Council in D-Ward. “I think I will, yeah, why not? Though I will say, Council has certainly been a steep learning curve,” she said. “I’m one of those small busi-

nesspeople who love Warren, they’re great people, and that’s who I serve,” Cr Van Eldonk added. She encourages more “average” citizens to run for Council at the forthcoming poll, for which nominations close next Wednesday, August 14. “Depending on what they have in mind, not always the arts groups and the theatre groups, we’re there to deal with the everyday people, the person who walks in off the street. “It is hard to run your business and be at the beck and call of everyone, but I do it, for the town itself,” she said. She believes that Council should be more-focussed on economic progress, and core issues like roads, rates, parks, sports facilities, and service delivery. “I don’t care about a lot of that other stuff, I just want practical solutions for Warren, ﬁ xing the pool, that kind of thing. “I’m just an ‘Average Joe’ that loves the town and wants progress,” she concluded. Despite repeated efforts to contact two-term Councillor for C Ward, Katrina Walker, the Warren Star has been unable to conﬁ rm reports that she does not intend to run in the upcoming poll.

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

Jamie Chaffey preselected as Nationals’ candidate I’M delighted that Gunnedah Mayor, Councillor Jamie Chaffey, has been preselected as The Nationals’ candidate to contest the seat of Parkes at the next Federal election. I have worked closely with Jamie over the years, both in his role as Mayor and his involvement with The Nationals, and I know he has a deep passion for bettering our region. I’m excited the Party has chosen someone of such high calibre. Jamie has been a hardworking community leader; he understands the issues facing our communities and knows that regional Australia is the backbone of our economy. He is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, and I know he will work tirelessly to ensure the people of the Parkes electorate can continue to thrive into the future. I look forward to working with Jamie until the election is called, helping him meet and get to know as many people in the electorate as possible.

Concern about Rex airlines I’M very concerned about Rex Airlines going into voluntary administration.

Rex provides a vital service to two communities in the Parkes electorate — Dubbo and Broken Hill, as well as the surrounding towns and villages — not only as a connection for our rural and regional people to the capital cities, but as competition for the larger airlines. Our regional people deserve affordable airfares and reliable connections, and Rex helps keep our aviation industry competitive. We cannot afford to lose that service and so I urge the Labor Government to do what it can to ensure Rex can remain in the air. The previous Coalition Government provided considerable support to Rex during the COVID-19 pandemic because we understood the importance of these smaller airlines to regional Australia. Rural and regional Australians, particularly those in Broken Hill and the Far West, rely on air connectivity to the major cities for business, health and leisure and we need to ensure they won’t be left up in the air.

Week on the road IT was great to be out on the road last week catching-up with councils and community groups in Coonabarabran, Lake Cargelligo, Condobolin and Trangie. I met with a number of community groups that had received Volunteer Grants including the Coonabarabran Golf Club, Condobolin Picnic Race Club and Trangie Central School P and C, as well as Trangie CWA which has received a $19,343 FRRR Small Network Grant to upgrade the CWA rooms. I also presented new ﬂ ags to

PHOTOS: SUPPLIED the student leaders at Trangie Central School and Condobolin Public School and met with the Rapid Relief Team in Lake Cargelligo to discuss how they can collaborate with the Federal Government to support farmers in the Parkes electorate who are experiencing hardships. I caught-up with Carl and Karen from Marathon Health which has just received a $180,000 extension of its funding under the Strong and Resilient Communities — Inclusive Communities Activity for its project in Condobolin that connects and re-engages young boys with education and/or the workforce. Also in Condobolin, it was a pleasure, as always, to catch up with Ally Coe from

the Wiradjuri Condobolin Corporation to discuss how the Wiradjuri Study Centre might benefit from funding that the NSW Aboriginal Culture Heritage and Arts Association received to promote professional development within its visual arts hub membership network. In Coonabarabran, it was an honour to present a Certiﬁcate of Appreciation to local veteran Donald Harrod, in recognition of his service during the Vietnam War. Topping-off the busy week were productive meetings with the mayors and general managers of Warrumbungle and Lachlan shire councils.

Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program

COUNCILS in the Parkes electorate have the opportunity to apply for funding under the new Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program. This combines the former Bridges Renewal Program and Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program into a single program. State and territory governments and local councils are able to apply for funding of up to $5 million per project through the program for projects that improve road safety, productivity, bridge renewal, road resilience, sustainability and/or heavy vehicle rest areas.

“Extraordinary pressure” on council finances from rate-cap and cost-shifting, general manager tells inquiry

Warren Shire Council General Manager, Gary Woodman told the recent Inquiry into the Ability of Local Governments to Fund Infrastructure and Services by the Standing Committee on State Development in Dubbo, that rate-pegging and cost-shifting were cruelling local government finances. “ROADS, rates, and rubbish”, these were the traditional core duties provided by local government over the decades. Yet small country councils are increasingly struggling to maintain basic services for their communities with “rate-pegging” causing a 40

per cent drop in local income over 50 years, Warren Shire Council has said. These stark ﬁgures were provided by General Manager, Gary Woodman, at a State Government hearing in Dubbo on the issue in late June. Mr Woodman detailed

Council’s critical funding challenges in a submission to the “Inquiry into the Ability of Local Governments to Fund Infrastructure and Services by the Standing Committee on State Development”. Covering an area of 10,860 square kilometres and with a population of only 3000, Warren Council, he said, manages a $45 million budget that is required to support a wide and increasing range of amenities including 691km of sealed roads and 698km of unsealed roads. “The pressure on Council to continue to provide services of appropriate standard to our community, is now extraordinary,” Mr Woodman explained. “The recent downturn in grant income could severely impact our ongoing projects and the local contractors who depend on this funding,” he added. The submission also addressed the thorny issue of “rate pegging” — the State Government requirement that all NSW council’s limit rate

increases to annual inﬂation rates — in place now for nearly half-a century. “Since rate pegging in NSW commenced in approximately 1975, it has resulted in a significant funding gap of about 40 per cent compared to typical inﬂationary increases. This gap can impose significant challenges for the Council in funding infrastructure services,” Mr Woodman continued. Cost-shifting — increasing the funding burden for essential services from State and Federal bodies to local government — was another pressing issue. “Just for Warren Shire, the increased burden of cost-shifting translates to at least $1.15million per annum, representing lost services, lost opportunity and lost amenity for all our residents and businesses.” “On average, it also represents an additional cost of $460.67 for every ratepayer across the State, escalating to $590.80 for ratepayers in rural councils such as Warren Shire

Council,” he said.

“With Council having to fund this ongoing subsidy each and every year, it means our community gets less or goes without, and effectively makes ratepayers pay hidden taxes.”

Mr Woodman also raised concerns about sustainability, particularly in the wake of recent ﬂood disasters.

“We have faced ﬁve ﬂood disaster declarations in the past three years, with restoration costs exceeding $15 million,” Mr Woodman revealed.

“The ongoing challenges of cost shifting and rate pegging make it difficult to provide the ‘betterment’ funds needed to build more resilient infrastructure,” he concluded.

Council’s submission called for more flexible funding arrangements, reduced cost-shifting and a re-evaluation of rate pegging as a policy, to support the operational needs of local governments and ensure the delivery of essential services to the community.

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

G’day folks, PARLIAMENT kicks-off again this week for the ﬁ rst of two consecutive sitting weeks. This is after a long gap between sitting weeks in July, much of which I spent on the road around the electorate, between trips to Sydney and Brisbane for meetings, and committee work. With some fairly-important bills likely to come up for debate, it should make for a busy but interesting two weeks. But a lot has been happening since Parliament last sat.

Computer Outage

TWO week’s ago, the world was affected by a computer outage bigger than anything we have seen before. It caused chaos with airlines, businesses, media outlets and banks, it also limited some of the things my staff could do. I was in Broken Hill with the Minister for Local Government the day after the outage began, and there were signs of the disruption it had caused, but also signs of some of the work-arounds that people were already using. I noticed a big reel-to-reel recording machine that they were thinking of using for pre-recording interviews. In the end, the simpler solution was an iPhone with a microphone attached that the reporter, Grace Atta, used, sending it on to a studio in Adelaide where Andrew Schmidt had to travel to just to keep the station on air. If you or your organisation are still being affected by the outage, you can contact the Federal Government’s Australian Signals Directorate. If you are still having software problems go to the Crowdstike website.

Heavy Vehicle Rest Area on the Newell LAST month, I was fortunate enough to spend a week on the road with Minister for Regional Roads and Transport, Jenny Aitchison, while she travelled across Barwon announcing the start of or the completion of several road and transport projects. The week before last, we heard news that work has started on yet another project —construction of a new heavy vehicle rest area north of Narrabri. This project is part of the joint Federal and State Government-funded $261 million upgrade of the Newell Highway, specifically aimed at improving it for heavy vehicle traffic. With a number of mining, energy, and transport projects planned in-and-around Barwon, it is becoming increasingly necessary to improve heavy vehicle capacity along highway across the electorate. This rest area will have space for 18 heavy vehicles, for short or long-term parking, 10 short-term parking spaces for light vehicles or caravans, toilets, a picnic shelter with solar-powered lighting, rubbish bins, and landscaping. Once it is completed, this rest area will give drivers more stopping options along the highway, improving safety and reducing some of the maintenance costs on the road.

Baaka Cultural Centre IF you have been travelling along the Barrier Highway over the last year you may have noticed something remarkable rising-up on the roadside at Wilcannia — the Baaka Cultural Centre. I recently stopped by to see how things are going, and I was lucky enough to be given a tour by the Operations Manager Gail Russell. What they have done so far looks fantastic. The impressive walls that can be seen from the highway, are made of rammed earth and the soil used has been locally-sourced, which makes

Grace-Upon-Grace, is a given from God By HOPE KELLY THERE is no real comparison between “doing good” out of duty, and “doing good” out of grace. When you knock on the door of Ms Duty to ask for a cup of sugar, she huffs and puffs about how you should have been better prepared. Nevertheless, she goes into her kitchen to retrieve a cup of sugar; it is measured to the perfect cup. Ms Duty did you a kindness, but you leave full of regret. You remind yourself never to ask her for sugar again. When you knock on the door of Miss Grace, her smile widens, “What? A cup of sugar? Of course.” She goes inside and offers you the whole bag of sugar. Why would she be so kind? Miss Grace is humble — she knows she has been in need before. She’s acting out of previous kindnesses shown to her. As you leave Grace’s

it blend in well with the surrounding natural environment. The building is also being constructed in the shape of an emu’s footprint, the emu holding special signiﬁcance for the local people. The new centre preserves parts of the old Knox & Down general store, which stood on the site for decades, before it was destroyed in a fire back in 2002. When it is completed, the Baaka Cultural Centre will house Barkindji artefacts, artworks, and help to preserve other cultural heritage, including language. It will also be a striking landmark that can’t easily be ignored by motorists driving past. It will help to slow people down and make them want to explore not just the cultural centre, but all that Wilcannia has to offer, bringing more tourism, money, and jobs to the town.

Out and About I’M often told by people who know me, that they have seen my car in one part of my electorate, when I was actually hundreds of kilometres away on the other side of Barwon or in Sydney. This is because my staff have marked-up cars that they drive to parts of Barwon. Barwon is such a huge electorate, 44.5 per cent of NSW, covering over 356,000 square kilometres. My team are often out-and-about in one of the cars, which is a great help, given there are often so many places for me to be, so far apart. Sometimes, I ﬂy to a town in Barwon, and then jump into one of the local cars, so you never know who it will be. The cars end-up doing a fair bit of mileage. One of the cars, an old BA Ford wagon, is nudging 400,000 kilometres and going strong. Wherever I am, my team is often out in the electorate talking to people and attending meetings on my behalf. If you see them, say “G’day!”.

doorstep, you are inspired by her kindness to be kind yourself. If you’re a church-goer, it’s likely that goodness was beaten into you from Sunday School. But what they often failed to tell you, is it’s not something you can manufacture. At least not the grace kind. You can pull up your bootstraps and “be good”, but bitterness at people’s ungratefulness is lurking behind the corner. Next thing you know, you’re huffing about how they should have been better prepared. No, gracious goodness is given by God. It’s a fruit of the Holy Spirit, not of yourself (Gal 5:22). And it ﬂourishes in proximity to the grace of the Lord Jesus. Grace for our sins. Grace for our mistakes. Gracious provision for our needs. Gracious growing and training. Smiles when we deserve frowns. It’s so much easier to be kind to others when we understand the immeasurable kindness shown to us. “For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” (John 1:16)

ministration. We have been assured that regional and rural Saab 340 fl ights will be unaffected through short-term Federal support, longer-term incentives through subsidised seats, and ensuring carriers operate in a way that doesn’t jeopardise the industry. Pel-Air Air Ambulance Services and Australian Airline Pilot Academy remain outside of administration and under the control of their respective directors. Flights between major airports have been cancelled, however, with the Rex Group’s domestic fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft all grounded. Affected customers are being contacted directly by Rex. Virgin Australia has made an offer for Rex customers with an existing ticket on a flight cancelled due to the Administration process the opportunity to transfer their ticket free of charge to the 13 overlapping Virgin Australia services, see the link for rebooking services. I will be talking to the minister for Regional Transport about Rex, to see if there is anything that can be done to ensure that it continues to provide this vital service to the people of Barwon and the rest of NSW.

Virtual Fencing site visit LAST week I flew to Brisbane to visit Gallagher Animal Management’s eShepherd Innovation Centre for a demonstration of their virtual fencing technology. The visit was for the inquiry into virtual fencing being conducted by the Investment Industry and Regional Development committee, of which I am Chair. Along with fellow committee member, Justin Clancy the member for Albury, we got to see fi rst-hand how the technology works, both of us feeling the mild electric shock that is delivered by electronically-controlled collars to train the livestock. It was interesting to see it all in action. This kind of fencing could potentially bring a range of economic, animal welfare and safety benefits to livestock

production in NSW. T he c om m it te e w i l l t able a rep or t of it s f i nd i n gs i n O c tob er.

Boat Show LAST week, I took a delegation of MPs to the opening of the 55th Sydney International Boat Show; as the chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Aquatic Recreation. The Transport Minister, Jo Haylen, did the official opening with parliamentary colleagues Minister David Harris, Matt Cross, Kellie Sloane, Clayton Barr, and Mark Banasiak also in attendance. I also caught-up with Neil Patchett from the Boating Industry Association, and had an interesting chat to Annie and Laura, who are competing in the Youth America’s Cup in October in Barcelona in an AC40, which can do up to 80 knots, and talked to Michaela who won the BIA Award for Apprentice of the year and is the third generation in her family to become a marine mechanic. Boating is a very popular pastime in Barwon; it also allows tourists to enjoy our waterways and lakes. A major focus of the Parliamentary Friends of Aquatic Recreation is safety in, on, and around water, which was also a strong theme at the boat show. The show is over for this year but will be on again around this time next year.

Landcare LANDCARE does some great work across the electorate caring for the land and waterways that sustain us. This week, I had a chat with Landcare NSW CEO, Turlough Guerin, about the things the organisation is doing and how I can help them continue to thrive and grow and keep up the good work. This week (August 5–11) also happens to be Landcare Week, which is a good time to learn more about this important organisation and maybe take part in some of its work, with a range of activities and events being held across the state, like the Clean Up Pro Hart Way day on Saturday, August 10 out at Broken Hill.

“Dignity” drive returns to local Comm Bank branch WARREN branch of the Commonwealth Bank is again joining the “Share the Dignity” campaign to collect and donate period products to locals experiencing homelessness or poverty. Branch Manager, Emma Mason, said that the local branch is now a collection point for period products for women. “We are hoping to collect 100 unopened packets of period products during the campaign to donate to those in need,” Mrs Mason said. “We are thrilled to be supporting Share the Dignity and their 2024 August Dignity Drive,” she added.

Warren is just one of many Commonwealth Bank Branches in the Greater North Western Area that is supporting the initiative. “If you’d like to donate, next time you’re doing your shopping, keep in mind: one box for me, one box for them, then simply drop off your donation at your nearest Commonwealth Bank branch or local collection point,” she concluded. The initiative, run by Australian not-for-proﬁt organisation Share the Dignity, has been providing those experiencing homelessness, domestic violence or poverty with period products since early 2015.

“Claymation” classics, from creative Central School kids

Hannah O’Hara and Kiara-Ann Forbes, with their stop-motion movie, “How the Farmer Helps all the Animals”. By DAVID DIXON THE wonders of old-style “stop-motion animation” have been used by a cohort of creative kids at Warren Central School to recently make a series of inventive short ﬁ lms. The movies were all conceived and shot by the Year Four students — with the help of teacher-with-an-artistic-touch, Brooke Vincent — the results entertaining parents, teachers, friends, and other students, at a special movie premiere at the end of Term Two. Stop motion, or “claymation” as it is often termed, is the painstaking creation of the illusion of hand-made ﬁgurines

Run-together, this gives the impression of the ﬁgures actually walking, talking, and interacting, throughout the scene. “That’s what we did, it’s something I thought of for our Visual Arts and Drama Combined Unit in Creative Studies,” Brooke explained. “We looked at a lot of ‘Wallace and Gromit’ (claymation television and ﬁ lm series), as well as developing characters from an Indigenous art organisation — the Tjanpi desert Weavers — in the Northern Territory,” she added. This was the only the start,

however, with the pupils doing everything, from creating their own short stories, making the characters out of a wellknown children’s modelling compound, and then fi lming each image, frame-by-frame. “We spent a whole term on it, probably two hours a week, they loved it we got them to branch-out as well incorporating spelling words in the animation, they were all over it,” Brooke enthused. “We didn’t actually use clay, we used play-dough to create the characters, and salt dough to fi rstly build-up build the students’ fi ne motor skills.” Modern technology did play its part, however, with the pupils using online apps, iMotion

and iMovie to work on the oneand-half-minute works. “All the stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end, they did their own story-boards and shooting, the lot!” the former ArtExpress Art Gallery of NSW exhibitor, Brooke revealed. “We then had a movie premiere of the short fi lm ‘Stop! Stop”, that was created by Lukas, Zavier, and Will, at the fi nal assembly.” Other fi lms included “The Giraffe” by Shae; “How the Rainbow Serpent Got its Colours”, by Olivia, Larni, and Kallee; “The Outback Adventure”, by George and Hugh; “The Attack of Oliver” by Hayley and Jaxson; and “How

The project proved a great way of introducing the painstaking nature of the creative process to the children; a world away from the instant results of modern computer animation.

“They’ve not really been exposed to this type of fi lm, it was actually one still, for one frame, and the children were a little surprised that the fi nal fi lms were often only about 45 seconds,” Brooke said.

“The creations really took a while, and that’s part of the process that they learn, which was really important.”

Sport 2024 CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

Dust settles on Round 14, with Cobar and Gulgong hosting finals first week

Cobar player Thomas Plater on the charge against Gilgandra.

By BRYSON LUFF FULL-TIME for Round 14 of the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, signals that the Finals series is now set to begin this coming weekend. The semis start with the qualifying ﬁ nals to be played on Saturday and the elimination ﬁ nals on Sunday, for all four grades. Tom Knight Oval at Cobar will host the first of the finals action with the Roosters up against the Narromine Jets in first grade with the winner to advance to the major semi against Coolah the following Saturday. The loser, however, will then face sudden-death against the winner of the Elimination Final that will be played between the Gulgong Bull Terriers and the Coonabarabran Unicorns at Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval on Sunday. The Roosters finished their competition round matches with a strong 44-11 win at home against the Gilgandra Panthers last Saturday, whilst the Jets will also come into the game on the back of sturdy victory after they downed the Baradine Magpies 40-14 at Baradine. In terms of wins this season against each other, it stands at one-all with the Roosters scoring a resounding 58-14 victory at Cobar in the opening round, whilst the Jets returned serve when they won 28-18 in their Round 10 game at Narromine. Although it will not be the

end of the road for the loser, it would be a lost chance to host the 2024 Grand Final, so a fiercely-fought contest is expected in front of what should be a good crowd. Moving on to Sunday’s First Grade clash, the Terriers and the Unicorns have only met once so far this season, that being in Coonabarabran in Round Seven, with the match ending in a 32-all draw. If that result is any indication, then the supporters of both sides can look forward to an intense battle, with the losing side bowing-out of the Premiership race while the winner will live-on to fight another day. There will be some high-quality match-ups in the other grades played at both venues as well, with the Ladies league Tag game at Cobar between the Coolah Flyers and the Dunedoo Swannettes, presenting itself as one not to miss. The two teams played last Saturday with the Flyers coming away with a 32-14 win, although in terms of try scoring, it was only four-to-three in favour of the Flyers after what was described as a fast flowing game.

Veteran grey gelding wins feature race at bumper Gilgandra meeting

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Gilgandra, Saturday, August 3 AT the big nine-race program hosted by Gilgandra Jockey Club on Saturday (August 3), the veteran grey gelding Toulon Factor won the feature event the 1280 metres Collie Hotel-Collie Cup. Following record acceptances, the meeting was extended from the original six races and trainer Jane Clement travelled from Armidale on the northern tablelands with several runners including the Cup winner Toulon Factor. Entrusted with the mount was apprentice Leeshelle Small who handled the assign-

ment very well to bring up her 4th winner since beginning race riding in March this year. Turning for home, Foreign Brother (Siena Grima, $3.70) took the lead from Mrs Ed and Sparks but was overhauled and beaten a half head by Toulon Factor ($5.50) which came from midﬁeld while nearly two lengths away third was Hit The Rim (Wendy Peel, $11). Originally from Malmo in Sweden, Julia Presits rode 9 winners and trained 17 winners before moving to Australia where she began riding at the picnic races with her ﬁ rst winner being Prospectors Helmet at Gosford. Later she became a successful apprentice jockey in the professional ranks before recently moving to Muswell-

brook and taking out a trainers licence. At only her second meeting, Julia Presits won the 1600 metres Think Water Outwest Benchmark 50 Handicap with Cheeky Nugget which is owned by her partner, champion picnic jockey Leandro Ribeiro. Given a good run behind the leading pair, Cheeky Nugget (Clayton Gallagher, $2.50 favourite) kicked away in the straight to win by over two lengths from Intense (Chelsea Stanley, $11) and the strong ﬁ nishing Ocean Hero (Siena Grima, $26). Coonabarabran trainer Graeme Brooker has been a loyal supporter of apprentice jockey Angela Cooper and they combined to win the 800

metres Three Rivers Machinery Benchmark 50 Handicap with Smart ‘N’ Ritzy. Taking the lead at the top of the straight, Smart ‘N’ Ritzy ($10) held on well to beat Obsessive Nature (Leeshelle Small, $5) and Dancelittlesister (Jessica Brookes, $9.50). Gilgandra has a very short straight however winners regularly come from off the pace to win and such was the case with Magic Madonna in the opening race, the 1000 metres Hazelton Racing and Keith Kilby Memorial Maiden Plate. Formerly trained in Victoria and ﬁ rst up for the Clint Lundholm stable at Dubbo, Magic Madonna (Nick Heywood, $5) came from a long way back and near last, to beat the leader Aspen Boulevard (Clay-

ton Gallagher, $1.95 to $1.75 favourite) and Pattera (Ken Dunbar, $5.50). Nick Heywood also brought the Michael Mulholland, trained World Atlas ($4.80) from behind the leading pack to win the 1600 metres Gilgandra Services Club Benchmark 50 Handicap from Anazarli (Ella Drew, $6) and Zounile (Zoe Hunt, $8.50). The other winners at the Gilgandra TAB meeting which drew a very good crowd were; Sunyani (Cobi Vitler, $4.60) trained by Brett Cavanough, Hampton Cove (Shayleigh, $6.50) trained by Brett Thompson, Yael’s Delight, $6.50 to $5.50) trained by Barry Wall and the Troy O’Neile trained Alenia (Siena Grima, $6.50 to $4.60).

Far West Rose Bowl draws hundred-plus keen players

The Rose Bowl winning team for the event, Winners for the Nevertire Hotel Trophy Day, an Alison Payne, Bec McKay, and Robyn Downey, all Fantastic turn-up for the Far West Rose Bowl with the Warren golfers 18-hole Stroke event, Judy Ridley, Tish McAlary, who represented on the weekend. of Warren. and Bec McKay. IN the last weekend in July, the Far West Rose Bowl was held at Warren Golf Club in conjunction with the Warren Ladies Open. The event started-off on Friday night with a “meetand-greet” for visitors from other clubs with 70 people attending; a great way to start the weekend. Saturday was an American Foursomes Invitational with 85 golfers playing and, once the rain went away, players could not have asked for more perfect weather. The sun came out of hiding and shone on all the golfers. The yummy sausage sizzle for lunch was also enjoyed by all; capably-cooked by our local bowlers, Dale Ward and Kenneth Kentwell. Saturday night it was back to the Club dressed in “Happy Days” outﬁts for the presentation dinner, and walking into the club, took you back in time with the tables looking amazing. Catering was provided by Warren Golf Club restaurant and a delicious meal was enjoyed by all of the 85 attendees. After the formalities of the presentations was over, the night began! The 1950’s decorations in the golf club set the mood for the night and, once the incredible juke box made by Lyn Rawlinson and Barb Laws was kicked into gear, the dance ﬂoor was full. The party was electrifying, laid-back and so much fun was had by all.

Sunday was an 18-Hole Stroke event held in conjunction with the Warren Ladies Open with an incredible 119 starters. This number of golfers, meant that we needed 45 carts at least, which we were able to supply due to the generosity of everyone that owned one and was willing to lend them. While the day might have been a bit cooler — well, a lot cooler than desired — play remained quite dry. Despite a 50 per cent chance of rain which had been forecast the day before, the rains held-off and players were able to enjoy an incredible day together. The nicest feeling of the whole day, was walking into that beautiful clubhouse and its warmth, what a blessing. A lovely lunch was then prepared by the “Food Fairy” — and her helpers — for all to enjoy at their own leisure before the presentations started. Club President, Kaye Martin, then thanked everybody for travelling and participat-ing in this annual event to make it such a success. Captain Christine Tilley then elaborated by thanking everybody again for their support in making the tournament the success it was.

It was a weekend of fun, fresh air, relaxation, friendly competition and teamwork with credit to the tournament committee. Along with the other volunteers, to all of you, your tireless efforts, dedication, sup-port and generosity has been outstanding. Many positive comments were made about our wonderful course, and how lucky we are to have such dedicated volun-teers, but we already know this, and it’s always appreciated and acknowledged. To all the raffle donors, Lea Leman for her patchwork quilt, Greg from Shoalhaven Heads Golf Club, and Margaret Hyland for her golf jumper, Gary Begg from the visiting Pro shop for a $50 voucher, Chris, Sue, and Val for their basket of goodies, Bec McKay for the best dressed prizes, Judy Ridley for “guess the tees”, Kerrie from Walsh’s funeral for tee’s, they were all much-appreciated and all the winners were ecstatic. This tremendous show of generosity was overwhelming for what was, all-in-all, a fantastic weekend enjoyed by everyone. In other news, on Wednesday, July 31, was the Nevertire Hotel Trophy Day, an

18-hole Stroke event that also doubled as the July medal and Fifth Round of the LGU After the icy weather experienced by all over the weekend, it was a beautiful sunny day and ideal golf weather with a total of 19 players turning-up, including two visi-tors, one from Armidale and one from Nyngan which was also great.
