General Manager of Warren Shire Council, Gary Woodman, told reporters that the unsealed road network was closed on the Monday due to the wet weather. “There are some trees down around the shire as a result, and we are dealing with them as they come across them,” he said at the time. Warren and other surrounding communities reported power outages by Essential Energy. The council sent a team into the northern part of the Shire towards Carinda to assess what damage might be in the area.

THE community gathered at 11 am on Monday, November 11, for a moving service at the Warren Cenotaph to commemorate Remembrance Day.

FAITH MATTERS

Best Experience Of Life By ANNITA CAMPBELL ‘Existential crisis’ is a term you may have heard about. It comes from too much ruminating over the big unanswerable questions of life. Why am I here? What contribution do I make? Am I living my best life? Perhaps you are living through your own existential crisis? Here’s an idea: your Bible has an answer to any problem you experience as a human being, including encounters with such existential distress. King Solomon conducted a lengthy experiment into the murky realms of human existence in the book of Ecclesiastes. At different points throughout, he states conclusions he

The Remembrance Day service also featured local school leaders from Warren Central School (high school and primary school) and St Mary’s Parish School, who had the important role of flag-raising on the day. “Thank you to our young leaders for their participation in this significant tradition,” the Warren Shire Council said on social media. Wreaths were laid by dignitaries, schools and community organisations at the event. has come to. For all his research about life, Solomon recommends we contentedly get on with the good work we’ve been given by God to do each day. He advocates for enjoying whatever possessions, friends, food and drink you have been blessed with, in thankfulness to the God who gave them. This is also the book where the famous line “remember your Creator in the days of your youth” comes from. Of the people who live like this he says “They seldom reflect on the distresses of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart” Ecclesiastes 5:19 and 20 Remembering God, acknowledging Him as the Creator of your life, and thanking Him as the Giver of good things is where the existential crisis calms, and the best experience of life begins.

CLOSING regional lines will delay getting food from paddock to plate, add to transport costs, and endanger other road-users, NSW Farmers have warned the State Government. Under draft NSW Freight Policy reforms, a number of key country rail lines across NSW could be closed for good, forcing millions of metric tonnes of grain to be transported by road each year. NSW Farmers Business Economics and Trade Chair, John Lowe, said with the state’s agricultural production only set to increase, the need for better rail freight had never been more pressing. “Efficient, connected freight rail networks are what farmers need to get their worldclass food off farm and into the market,” Mr Lowe said. “We should be upgrading our rail lines, not shutting them down,” he added. He said that rail is safer, cheaper, and reduces greenhouse gases for each and every freight train used on our nation’s tracks. “Switching just one per cent of our nation’s

freight to rail, would slash costs in accidents and emissions by over $70 million dollars a year,” Mr Lowe claimed. “Using more trucks for freight, will only mean more traffic, more hazards, and more wear-and-tear on our roads.” Mr Lowe said upgrades to regional rail lines and improved planning for connections into the Inland Rail, would deliver far greater beneﬁts to the agricultural supply chain than the proposed rail closures. “Increasing the weight carrying capacity of all regional rail lines and properly planning the smaller lines we need to connect farms to ports is essential, so we can have the infrastructure we need to continue to grow production,” Mr Lowe said. “While more trucks aren’t the solution to our transport woes, a better funding model for roads and bridges would certainly also go a long way to repairing past damage and ensuring freight that does travel via road can do so safely,” he concluded.

Warren hospital auxiliary #ItsInTheBag appeal supports domestic thanks the community violence survivors

In a wonderful purchase for Warren, the Hospital Auxiliary recently joined forces with the Palliative Care Group to purchase a topof-the line single sofa chair, that converts to a bed, for the Palliative Care Room. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By WARREN HOSPITAL AUXILIARY THE Members of the Warren Hospital Auxiliary would like to say a big thank you to the community for supporting our annual Melbourne Cup sweep. There was much excitement when we knocked on the doors of Elizabeth Brouff, Betty Fletcher and KatyRose Hunt. Recently the Hospital Auxiliary joined forces with the Palliative Care Group and purchased a very smart navy single Sofa Bed for the Palliative Care Room. This purchase was assisted by a very generous donation from Parraway Pastoral – Buttabone Station. This furniture has to meet all the health and safety regulations for the Health de-

partment, hence it is very expensive. This will make it a more versatile and comfortable visit for family, enabling them to sleep over if they wish. We will be funding Christmas gifts to all residents in the hospital and Calara House again this year, to help bring some Christmas spirit to all. Our members’ Christmas Dinner meeting will be early next month so please RSVP to Liz if attending. In conjunction with Darren Smith, the Activities manager of Calara, we’re investigating the purchase of a Sensory Interactive Wizard. This is a mobile computer with numerous options for interactive games, activities, quizzes, community, historical, family photo displays and many more possibilities. It has also been suggest-

ed that we look into replenishing the supply of woollen foot protectors, which we are happy to do, as the supply is very low. In early March 2025, we will host the Annual Orana Far West Hospital Auxiliaries’ Conference. This will bring around 35 people to town for the day. A big thank you to our hard working and generous donor members, and most of all, thank you to our Community for supporting us and using our catering service in their time of need. If you would like to join our Hospital Auxiliary group, you will be very welcomed. Mary Brennan, President Liz Woodhill, Secretary Helen Wise, Treasurer.

The Commonwealth Bank, Warren, recently joined the #ItsInTheBag campaign, and will accept bags filled with life’s essentials for women and girls in crisis this Christmas. PHOTO: SHARE THE DIGNITY. THE local branch of one of our big banks is collecting essential items for those fleeing domestic violence this Christmas. The Commonwealth Bank’s Warren branch recently joined the #ItsInTheBag campaign and will accept bags fi lled with life’s essentials for women and girls, on behalf of Australian not-for-profit women’s support organisation Share the Dignity. #ItsInTheBag is the charity’s annual Christmas appeal, where Australians are encouraged to put together bags fi lled with essential items to donate to someone in need during the holiday season. “We are thrilled to support Share the Dignity once again with their 2024 #ItsInTheBag campaign,” Warren Common-

wealth Bank Branch Manager, Emma Mason, said. “This will help make Christmas a bit brighter for those ﬂeeing domestic violence, experiencing homelessness, or doing it tough in our local community,” she added. The local branch team is hoping to collect 30 bags of gifted items to donate to those in need. Locals simply have to ﬁ ll a good condition handbag, backpack, or duffel bag with essential items like shampoo, conditioner, tooth brush and tooth paste, and personal hygiene items, and take it to the Commonwealth Bank in Dubbo Street. until this Friday. For more information, visit the Share the Dignity #ItsInThe Bag website.

Recovery guide for producers facing drought, fire, and flood across NSW DESIGNED to support producers facing extreme weather events, a new drought, fi re, and flood recovery guide was recently launched across NSW. This publication aims to address the unique pressures experienced by farmers recovering from natural disasters and complements the “managing” guide released earlier this year by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (NSW DPIRD), which focuses on preparedness and response. NSW DPIRD Livestock Systems Group Director, Dougal Gordon, said that the work provides a range of strategies and insights to help producers make informed decisions that benefit their natural resources, livestock, businesses, and their overall well-being. “We understand that the pressures of extreme weather events can be overwhelming, and this guide will provide actionable steps to help producers recover, ensuring they can sustain their operations and their communities,” Mr Gordon said. “It has been designed to empower farmers with strat-

OBITUARY

Noleen Darcy Remembered “Come on now, mum, give us a turn!” Noleen’s dance moves were unstoppable, cutting up on the ﬂoor, winning a dance competition even. Her twostep shimmy move will never go out of style. Ask her kids, they’re still busting those moves out today. Greatest love of all happened when Noleen was blessed with her great-grand-babies. In the most recent years, Noleen made a move no-one saw coming. She left Coona, and went to her besties in the big smoke, Dubbo. She had her own live-in Chef, Stylist, Gardner, Secretary, Tech Advisers and Chauffer waiting on her hand and foot. Noleen became our regular DJ, she would send her favourite songs to everyone in her friend list. She was sending quotes, memes and her favourite photos to everyone she wanted to share what was special to her. She loved her photos, she could yarn to ya non-stop about her memories, her laughs and if you were lucky enough to have a yarn, a laugh or even be growled at, no doubt you made an impression on her and she would have deﬁ nitely made an impression on you.

The Warren Star is honoured to publish this eulogy about the late Noleen Darcy, written and read with love by her daughterin-law, Cilla Pari. WE’RE gathered here today to honour the memory of Noleen Darcy, also known as Mama Nolsey, Aunt, Bub, Cuz, Nol, Nan, Grandma and Mum. I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to honour 70 years of her life than sharing the love, memories and laughs, so let’s go! Coonabarabran is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning “inquisitive person” and on October 5, 1954, an inquisitive person was born at Coonabarabran District Hospital named Noleen Ann Cain. Noleen was the fi rstborn child of Laura Cain and Kenny Chatfield, raised by Grandfather Cain and Nana Rube. She was the eldest sibling to Warran “Wazza” (D), Ronnie “Rednut” (D), Bernie, Juney, Cecil (D), Emily, Alicia and Angie (D). From a young age, you weren’t telling Noleen what she could and couldn’t do. She was that “inquisitive”, always getting into things and getting in the way. Grandfather Cain would pick her up and hang her up on the hook just so she’d be out of the road. Childhood memories were created with her siblings, and she had a sense of humour where she could turn something bad into something to laugh about, bringing comfort and security to which over the years we all gravitated towards. Growing up in Coona, creating memories in Nandi, Mini Land, and Purely Waguh, tormenting, being mischievous with her brothers and sisters – these cherished memories had here on this land. As Noleen reached her teen years, this inquisitive person was now finding herself, mixing in a crowd who came with a warning for the neighbouring town: “Warren woman hold on to your men, the Mountain Mob are coming to town.” No one knows how this warning came about but Noleen would always say: “Don’t want your ugly men anyway,” but we all know how that turned out. These ladies causing all types of havoc, don’t worry Mama Nolsey, they will be named and celebrated for it was these women who shaped the path to your adulthood. Linda, Debbie with Noleen (many more Mountain Women) formed the “Mountain Mob” from Coona. There is a specific story that has been shared more than once to the lead up to today; it involved a well, it involved grog, and it involved you, Mama Nolsey. Basically, Noleen and her

Famous Noleen quotes: “I’d try to get rid of my children many times, but they’d ﬁ nd me, be right up my ***. Charlie was the worst, just ask him!” “I got no more money!” “Don’t you rouse on my grand-babies; they can do whatever they want in my home.” “Noleen, this is Noleen, please leave a message.” “Hope you got clean bloomers on.” “Get us a Frappe from McDonalds, aye.” “Wait there, look out, here we go.”

bestie Linda coerced a young Suey to sneak through the window, and take the grog that was in there. Now that they had the grog, Noleen and Linda didn’t want to share so this meant young Suey ended up in the well. Aww, sad. Poor young Suey was found the next morning. Our inquisitive person found her soul mate at 18. Linda brought a Warren man across to Coona and it was game over. Noleen and her soul mate, Stanley “Picca” Darcy, were blessed with two children, Charlie and Katrina. As a wife, a mother she ran her home like a tight ship, very much the same way she ran the dance ﬂoor with Picca when they would waltz. Noleen couldn’t help herself, always leading the waltz,

poor Picca yelling “stop manhandling me, throwing me around there.” Noleen and Picca spoilt their children, loved their children, provided for their children. Some may remember Noleen being a hard worker, having her babies right by her side while she was out there working those ﬁelds. Another thing about Noleen she was swift, could move like lightning, she could. One day, Noleen and Aunty Elma were folding tarps, and in there was a big snake. They both bolted, leaving in their dust a little Katrina and Bennie to fend for themselves. They were gone. Survival of the ﬁttest, they reckon. If you asked Noleen what her greatest achievement was, she’d say: “my kids and

grandkids.” When her grandkids came along, they stole her heart. Picca and Noleen helped raised their grand-babies. Through her greatest loves came her greatest loss. Noleen showed strength and resilience after the passing of her soul mate; it was her love for her grandkids that kept her going. The bond she had with them all was undeniable, they weren’t just her grandkids or her mates, they were her best friends, thick as thieves and she was quick to tell ya. Noleen loved to sing, loved to dance too, but man could she sing. Loud, proud… ﬂat, but always smiling and knew every word. You’d have poor Charlie trying to pick a song so he could belt it out only to be outsung by his mum.

Another thing Noleen will be fondly remembered for is the counselling services she provided us all. She always listened, always had a pillow ready to lay on while we talked, always offered food and drink if her counselling services went after-hours. It was a place a large amount of us became accustomed to. But please be assured, the counselling service has not closed, it just moved locations. Forever it will be in your hearts, guiding us through our uncertainties. She’s there celebrating all the good things and laughing with us. To our Matriarch, you rest now. Thank you for being the glue who kept us together, our main supporter in life, thank you for the unconditional love. Thank you for the memories, for the laughs, for listening to us. May we continue to make you proud while you’re watching over us. This isn’t goodbye, it’s see you later. Until we meet again.

FAITH MATTERS

Gift-Giving Father By MICHAEL CAMPBELL REMEMBER Bobby Ferrin’s hit song, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”? It was released together with Tom Cruise’s movie “Cocktail” in 1988. “In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double. Don’t worry, be happy.” That is easier said than done. Like when your spouse spends more money on Christmas presents than you thought sensible. Or when a loved one walks away from a serious car crash. We worry because we think we need to ﬁ nd a solution to the presenting issue. We buy into the lie that the buck stops with us. We worry when it appears we have lost control. Is there no one running this show? Jesus also said: “Do not worry,” but not simply with a smile. He said: “Consider the

birds.” There’s no industry, no equipment, no silos or commodity bankers. Our Father in heaven feeds them. They do not worry about food or the future. “Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:26. God has placed us in a world that reﬂects his generous character. We have an abundance of resources, and the smarts to rule with great imagination. We err when we pursue the treasures of this world, with many worries. All the while, our Creator and heavenly Father knows what we need and is ready to give it to us. Counsel your heart: “Be at rest, my soul, for your Father has all things under His wise and loving control. He will be generous with you, so seek His kingdom and His favour. Leave your worries at the door.”

A NEW service in Warren aims to eliminate the confusion and difficulties encountered by vulnerable and older Australians navigating government-funded and subsidised community services designed to support those most in need. Kara O’Hara has landed in Warren as a local Care Finder - here to support the vulnerable older community of the township to access a variety of services. The care ﬁ nder program provides support for vulnerable, older people to interact with My Aged Care as well as access aged care services and access to other relevant supports in the community. Kara’s service as a care finder is completely free of charge throughout the whole process and will stay with you from start to fin-

ish to ensure that you are getting the best support that is available. Care fi nders help people understand and access aged care and connect with other relevant supports in their community, with Kara telling the Warren Star she wants to provide a service that ensures elderly and vulnerable people can live independently for as long as possible and aims to assist residents with accessing athome care services. “Care fi nders role is to help the aged community to navigate the aged care system and services,” she said. “We (care fi nders) go through the application process with them and because we are supporting elderly and vulnerable people it can be quite a challenge for them to navigate a computer and the biggest challenge at the moment is a lot of the aged

Macquarie-Wambuul water security discussed at Warren visit

By SHARON BONTHUYS IMPROVING water security and reliability for the Macquarie-Wambuul River system in the face of climate change, population growth and inefficiencies in water delivery was the topic of discussion during a recent engagement visit to Warren by the NSW Government. Led by the “Water Group” in the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), the department is currently investigating options to inform the development of a ﬁ nal business case aimed at improving water security and reliability for the Macquarie-Wambuul River, which is a major water source in the region.

Options outlined MAYOR Greg Whiteley and Deputy Mayor Sarah Derrett were among the 14 stakeholders gathered for the meeting at the Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre Community Room on November 13. The Water Group outlined options that are aligned with the Macquarie-Castlereagh Regional Water Strategy (MCRWS), which was completed in 2023. The Macquarie-Castlereagh region is experiencing more frequent and severe drought, increasing pressures on water security, the department says. NSW DCCEEW Executive

Director of Development, Lisa Hingerty said: “The Macquarie-Castlereagh region was one of the hardest hit during the state’s last drought and is experiencing more frequent and severe El Niño conditions which is increasing pressures on water security for major towns across the west.” There is a need to improve town water security in the region, deliver water more efficiently for high priority needs, maintain environmental flows in the system, including to the Macquarie Marshes, and improve the drought resilience of industry, including meat processing and agriculture. The Strategy aims to resolve this, the department says. The options include: f a regional pipeline connecting Dubbo to Nyngan and other towns to transfer water supply. f using some of Burrendong Dam’s flood mitigation storage to increase water supply. f a new weir to potentially replace the Gin Gin Weir, located between Warren and Narromine, to boost water security. f integrating ground and surface water to improve water security for Dubbo, Nyngan and Cobar. f exploring how much water could be set aside in Burrendong Dam for dry periods. “These solutions were identified and shortlisted in the Strategy, which provides a

roadmap for addressing the region’s water challenges over the next 20-40 years,” the department says on its website.

Early stages THE NSW and Australian Governments are jointly funding $9.35 million to deliver a fi nal business case for the project, with the Australian Government contributing through the National Water Grid Fund. Right now, the proposed project is at an early stage and the department has indicated that consultation is a key part of its development. Following the Warren engagement session, additional sessions were held in Carinda on November 14 and Dubbo on November 15. Stakeholders and interested parties will have an opportunity to formally provide feedback as part of the process next year. Ms Hingerty encouraged people to take an interest in the project and provide feedback. Information is available on the Macquarie-Wambuul Water Security Project webpage on the NSW Government website. “It is critical we hear from as many people as possible,” she said. Once developed, expected in late 2025 or early 2026, the final business case will assess in detail the economic, social and environmental costs and benefits of short-listed options to inform future funding decisions by the government.

About the river system PART of the Macquarie-Castlereagh catchment in central west NSW, the Macquarie-Wambuul River system crosses the traditional lands of the Gomeroi/Kamilaroi, Ngemba, Ngiyampaa, Wailwan and Wiradjuri people. The river ﬂows from the Great Dividing Range near Bathurst, north-west past Wellington, Dubbo, Narromine and Warren to meet the Barwon River upstream of Brewarrina. It includes the Macquarie Marshes, an internationally signiﬁcant wetlands area.

No one escaped the Tinderbox Drought: locals FORMER mayor Milton Quigley quietly reminded the visiting contingent that in the past there was a very fi ne line between water security and insecurity in the Warren Shire. Mr Quigley told the meeting, which was attended by 14 representatives from local government, agriculture and other interested parties, that the situation had become so dire in the infamous “Tinderbox Drought” prior to the COVID pandemic that reduced fi refighting capability risked the closure of the town’s hospital. “To get to that stage, it’s almost third world stuff,” Mr Quigley said frankly.

Next week’s edition will be published on Wednesday. Deadline is 12pm Monday.

“That Tinderbox Drought was devastating and no one escaped it. That was the biggest issue,” he said. “The effect at that time cannot be understated,” he added, thankful that action was taken more recently to secure water supply to the town. Mr Quigley related the story of a local farmer trying to provide water for livestock on the outskirts of the shire, and the impact of the drought on the communities of the shire. “Agriculture virtually stopped. [That means] there’s no jobs, no money around,” he explained. “Your environment is being knocked around, the township is being knocked around – there is no green space. We were fortunate enough to keep our oval green. But when the river gets cut off above Warren, we have no ability to even do that,” he added. “That’s pretty tough on everyone. You could see that on people’s faces. The social fabric of the place changed,” Mr Quigley concluded. Another stakeholder at the event told the engagement team that the modelling needed to be right for any proposal to work. “Modelling is only as good as what people put in the model, whether it be good, bad or indifferent,” he said. “If you put bad or unknown facts into your model, it will come out wrong,” he concluded.

RFDS wins award for Warren and Gil medical centres By NICHOLAS CROKER THE Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has been named Rural/Remote Health Employer of the Year, recognised for its role in saving general practice medical centres in Warren, Gilgandra, and Condobolin. The RDFS southeastern section (SE) was ﬁ nalist in four categories at the 2024 National Rural and Remote Health Awards, presented in Canberra on November 6. Held as part of Rural Health Pro’s Rural Health Month, the awards recognise the exceptional health professionals and organisations committed to improving the health and wellbeing of those living in rural and remote communities. The RFDSSE was also a ﬁnalist for Rural/Remote Advocate of the Year Award, Rural/ Remote Health Innovator of the Year category, and RFDS South Australia/Northern Territory senior dentist and oral health program manager, Dr Vaibhav Garg, won the individual honour Rural/Remote Health Professional of the Year. Gilgandra Shire mayor Doug Batten and Warren Shire mayor Greg Whiteley congratulated the RFDSSE on their nominations and the award. They also acknowledged the contri-

butions the organisation had made to the Gilgandra and Warren communities with their clinics. Jenny Beach, RFDSSE executive general manager of the health services development, said it was “an honour” for the organisation to be recognised as a ﬁ nalist. She credited the passion and dedication of all the RFDSSE medical services teams involved who worked

to bring about positive change across their practices. “It’s fantastic to be recognised,” Mrs Beach said. “It’s fantastic... because it really points to the people that are working in these communities... they care so deeply about their communities, and it really shows. “I think it’s a tribute to the people that are working out in the communities,” she said.

The RFDS moving to acquire general practices within rural communities means areas like Gilgandra retain access to vital primary healthcare services. It keeps doctors and their patients local, a tremendous boon for our region. According to the RFDSSE, across the three communities (Gilgandra, Warren, and Condobolin), they support 12,000 people who might otherwise

have to travel hours for even a simple checkup. “Addressing the needs of these communities fundamentally comes down to our understanding of the people we serve,” the organisation says. Mrs Beach also commented that members of the local community supported by RFDSSE clinics are passionate about keeping their health services local. She said that it was up to the community, not just the nurses and doctors, to make a difference in people’s health, by watching, and listening to the community. “It means you can pick up things early, you can manage people so that their health [stays] a lot better,” Mrs Beach said. “It’s not just sort of episodic care... it’s all that stuff that manages the whole person.” The RFDS has been operating for almost 100 years and has always been involved in primary care. In a media release, the RFDS stated that “[We] are proud to serve rural and remote Australians and for these award nominations”. “What has been achieved over the last two years across all three locations has been transformative for so many and we are grateful for all RFDSSE staff who have been instrumental to ensuring our success.”

Political News & Opinion ROY’S OY’S ROUND-UP OUND-UP Comment mment by ROY Y BUTLER, State te Member for Barwon G’DAY folks, the legislative assembly has risen for the year, the ﬁ nal sitting week of the year was last week, but the business of government still goes on. There are committee hearings, budget estimates and still the business of getting around meeting with constituents, councils, and businesses across the electorate. I will be heading out to the electorate several times before Christmas, look out for me.

Building Resilience into our roads A LOT of time, money and planning has gone into repairs of roads, but more important is to work to make the roads more resilient in times of natural disaster. A top priority over the last two years, for many local councils and communities, has been ensuring flood-damaged roads are more flood resistant and able to stay open during flood events. It’s good to see the Australian and NSW governments listening to our communities and working with councils to build more resilience into

our road network. Recently the government announced that it is funding Lachlan Shire Council to the tune of $3.99 million for pavement overlay and stabilisation, sealing work, additional culverts at various locations, and one culvert/bridge replacement on Lake Cargelligo Road. Also, pavement overlay and stabilisation, sealing work, increased culvert width and headwalls scour protection on Lachlan Valley Way. There is also $827,783 for pavement strengthening, overlay and stabilisation, sealing work and increased culvert capacity at various locations on Kiacatoo Road.

Public interest debate on passenger rail services DURING the sitting weeks in November, my colleague Phil Donato, the member for Orange, submitted a topic for the public interest debate. These are debates on a motion introduced by a member, the job of introducing the motion is shared between government, opposition and crossbench. Phil’s topic was one that he has been discussing for some time with his community - reintroducing a regular passenger railway service between Sydney and Orange. Although it is something that does not directly affect my electorate, I spoke on it because of the broader implications of reintroducing

rail services in regional areas. Barwon used to have far more passenger rail services than it does now. I talked about the time when NSW was busy building rail networks across the country. In the 1930s my grandfather was a lineman on the line that used to run between Nyngan and Bourke, which was often damaged in floods. That line no longer exists because it was severely damaged during the ﬂooding of the Bogan River in 1989, and parts of it had to be destroyed by the army to divert ﬂoodwaters. There are plenty of bus services that are operating, and the government is introducing more all the time - there is a trial of a service being introduced between Broken Hill, Menindee and Mildura for instance - but I have heard many constituents talk about the need to reintroduce passenger rail services. Phil’s Sydney to Orange line is a bit of a test case that could, hopefully, see more services running across the inland of NSW.

Virtual Fencing - take note debate WHAT have the Romans ever done for us? Well, they gave us Philip Donato, and aqueducts. Phil also brought virtual fencing to the parliament of NSW. There is a lot of evidence to show that virtual stock fencing would be a useful and important technology for farmers, when it comes to more efficiently managing their

stock. Other states and countries have made it legal, but we are behind here in NSW. Recently the Investment Industry and Regional Development Committee, of which I am the chair, held an inquiry, producing a report on proposed amendments to the prevention of cruelty to animals’ legislation, brought by my colleague Philip Donato, to allow virtual stock fencing in this state. The report, which recommends legalisation, came before parliament of NSW today in a ‘Take Note Debate’, which is a way of formally asking parliament to acknowledge the report. I want to thank Richie Williamson MP for his contribution to the debate and hope we can now introduce this valuable technology in NSW.

Water Sharing Plan Review Submissions IT hardly needs to be said that water is a precious resource and that everybody should take some interest in how it is managed. The current Water Sharing Plan for the Barwon-Darling Unregulated Water Source 2012 will expire on July 1, 2025. The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is seeking comments from water users, industry bodies, and communities affected by this water-sharing plan. The draft Water Sharing Plan for the Barwon-Darling Unregulated River Water Sources 2025 was

publicly displayed on November 11, 2024 and will close on December 20, 2024.

Obstetric services in regional NSW BEING able to give birth locally is something that is vitally important to many people. It is not just the comfort and convenience of not having to travel long distances for obstetric services, it also about being close to family, friends and support networks when the baby arrives. For indigenous people, being born on the land of your ancestors and kin is culturally important. But at the moment there are few places in the electorate where women can conﬁdently give birth. Most women have to choose to go elsewhere to have a baby. There are models of obstetric care in towns like Glen Innes that allow births to happen under carefully planned circumstances, which could be introduced in places like Bourke and Narrabri, but that should be done in conjunction with increasing ongoing recruitment drives for more obstetric staff. I recently discussed obstetrics services in Barwon with health minister Ryan Park in NSW parliament. Ryan continuously makes himself available for these important discussions, and we will continue to work on a solution for obstetrics in the west.

Thanks for 17 good years — Coulton’s valedictory speech

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, recently delivered his valedictory speech in the House of Representatives. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

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

Valedictory speech IT was an incredible honour to deliver my valedictory speech to the House of Representatives last week, just short of 17 years since I was elected as the member for Parkes. I was really pleased that all my family and a lot of friends and supporters from the electorate, as well as current and former staff, were able to travel to Canberra to be there in person. I couldn’t have done this job for the past 17 years without their support and my speech was an opportunity to thank all those who have played a part in this journey. I also took the opportunity to highlight some of my achievements over the years. But it’s some of the more personal small differences and policy changes I’ve been involved in that are positively impacting people’s lives that I’m most proud of. In my very ﬁ rst speech to parliament, I said that I have a deep and unshakeable belief in inland Australia, and I still believe that today. It holds the keys to the future prosperity of our country, but regional Australia should not be taken

for granted. I’m becoming increasingly concerned that the regions are being compromised so that city-dwellers can feel good about saving the planet. So, my ﬁ nal message to parliament was to stop treating regional Australia as a magic pudding for reducing emissions, or future generations will be forced to worry about food security. We also need to stop making our children fearful of the future and instead reassure them that they live in the best country in the world and have every opportunity to succeed in life.

Insincere On Farm Connectivity Program MANY farmers in my electorate have missed out on claiming rebates to purchase smart farming equipment after the On Farm Connectivity Program closed less than a week after applications opened. It’s baffling that all $18 million of round two was exhausted in less than one week when round one, worth $15 million, was open for six months! It’s obviously been a very popular program, but something isn’t adding up. The insincere application process has only created frustration and disappointment amongst suppliers and growers. This process needs to be reassessed to ensure it’s fair for everyone. I do hope that there were many farmers in my electorate who were successful,

JUST shy of 17 years since he was ﬁ rst elected as the 1029th Member of the Australian Parliament, Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, recently delivered his valedictory speech in the House of Representatives. In a tradition going back decades in which retiring MPs make a farewell address to their colleagues on their time in the Parliament, Mr Coulton took the opportunity to thank his family, friends, supporters, and current and former staff — many of whom travelled to be there in person —– as well as his wife, Robyn, who had been by his side every step of the way, he said. “We decided to do this as a team,” Mr Coulton added. “So, for the last 18 years — we spent a year campaigning beforehand — we’ve travelled together, and in a big year we’ve probably spent the equivalent of 20 40-hour weeks a year in the front of a car — Robyn reading the emails and me dictating messages back to the office.” Mr Coulton spoke of the great diversity and uniqueness of the Parkes electorate which, he said, is much more than just the agricultural and mining industries that underpin the economy. He said there are so many projects and “shiny things” he could

highlight as achievements over the years, such as the Western Cancer Centre in Dubbo, the Australian Opal Centre in Lightning Ridge, the Baaka Cultural Centre in Wilcannia, the library in Broken Hill, the small animal abattoir in Bourke, and of course, the Inland Rail — “just build it for God’s sake!” But Mr Coulton said some of the achievements he’s most proud of are those that are more difficult to highlight. “Sometimes your successes with issues become invisible, because if you ﬁ x the problem people stop talking about it,” Mr Coulton said. “A lot of the things that are achieved here are done without recognition. “[When I was Regional Health Minister, I introduced] the generalist pathway, which is training doctors with more skills to work in rural areas. “The medical school at Dubbo had over 520 applicants for the 30 places, so we’re training local doctors in the area,” he concluded. Mr Coulton also thanked his National Party and Coalition colleagues for their support over the past 17 years, with many in the Chamber to hear his address.

but there were certainly people who missed out.

Social media age limit LAST week the Labor government introduced its legislation to enforce an age limit of 16 for social media, including Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and X. The coalition committed to implementing an age limit of 16 back in June because it’s clear that social media is creating a problem for our young people. Our children are vulnerable and while limiting access to anyone under 16 does have some merits, it is a vexed issue. A big problem is age veriﬁcation. I’ve been contacted by a number of my constituents who are concerned about this legislation for various reasons, but the major one is privacy concerns. I understand these concerns and agree that we don’t need to be giving social media companies access to all our personal information. We need to full review the details of this bill – it’s important that clear privacy protections are included in this legislation.

Super tax concerns LABOR has refused to rule out forcing farmers to pay tax on the unrealised capital gains of their farm, if the property is held in a self-managed super fund (SMSF). In Parliament House last week, agriculture minister Julie Collins conﬁ rmed that

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton delivered his valedictory speech to Parliament last week. PHOTO: PARKES ELECTORATE. farmers would have to ﬁ nd the cash to pay the tax even if they have a failed season with no income. Minister Collins’ response was really quite chilling. She clearly had no understanding or concern of the enormous ﬁ nancial hardship

that this decision will make for so many farmers.

Farmers have been using SMSF for succession planning and these changes will mean many farms will have to get sold to pay tax on unrealised gains.

Hands-on careers in rural health workshop with CSU students

By WARREN CENTRAL SCHOOL

RECENTLY Warren Central School (WCS) hosted 15 Charles Sturt University (CSU) students who visited for a very special event. The students were from CSU’s Rural Health Club and they delivered a hands-on interactive workshop to the WCS Year 9–11 students, focusing on careers in rural community health. The WCS pupils on the day were offered the chance to explore future career ﬁelds including paramedicine, pharmacy, nursing, physiotherapy, dentistry, and occupational therapy. The group from CSU were thanked for providing such an engaging and impactful session to the WCS cohort. In other school news, there was also a meeting hosted at WCS for a new paediatrician for the town that was held with local community members in attendance. Weekly academic, community, and civic awards were also presented during the week.

Rating bush footy sides, podcast LeagueCastle’s off-season debate Dubbo Macquarie (50th), Nyngan (60th) and Orange Hawks (96h) all missed the PMP play-offs. Macpherson said the LeagueCastle team received positive feedback about how both the Gilgandra Panthers (sixth in competition, 136th overall) and Narromine Jets (third in competition, 107th overall) performed in Castlereagh League. As a marker, Woodbridge Cup premiers Manildra ﬁ nished 82nd, while Castlereagh League champions Coolah were 69th. LeagueCastle is now allowing the people to decide their best bush footy club of 2024, with the top 32 sides moving into a people’s choice competition. For the full list of the top 150 clubs, go the LeagueCastle Facebook Page where a countdown started on November 2.

By DALLAS REEVES WHAT do country footy fans do in summer, has just been answered by a Newcastle-based podcast that has just run a poll of rugby league fans in the country. The podcast “LeagueCastle” aims to keep supporters entertained in the off-season, and recently sparked debate about bush rugby league when it ranked the top 150 sides across the State. While LeagueCastle founder and host, Chris Macpherson admitted there is no exact science to getting this task 100 per cent correct, it is entertaining. LeagueCastle is a podcast that started in 2018 as a general sports show and has since focused on rugby league. Newcastle Rugby League, the Newcastle and Hunter Rugby League, Central Coast Rugby League and Group 21 (Hunter Valley) are the main competitions LeagueCastle covers. The idea to do this, came from NewsCorp’s 2024 ranking of the top 43 bush rugby league teams. The LeagueCastle list of 150 was much different and relative criteria was used to rank sides, weighing in their season results, and then deﬁ ning a roughly-comparative standard of the competition they played in. Across the PPNS News Media readership area, central west sides in the top 150 rankings were, in ascending order, as follows: Gilgandra Panthers (Castlereagh League, 136th); Narromine Jets (Castlereagh League, 107th); Orange Hawks (Peter McDonald Premiership, 96th); Nyngan Tigers (Peter McDonald Premiership, 60th); Dubbo Macquarie Raiders (Peter McDonald Premiership, 50th), Orange CYMS (Peter McDonald Premiership, 35th); and Dubbo CYMS (Peter McDonald Premiership, 17th). Three-time defending Newcastle Rugby League champions, Maitland Pickers ﬁ nished at the number one side, with six of the top 10 coming from that competition. Chris did admit there had been some parochial feedback for Dubbo CYMS to be ranked higher, admitting that the club’s LeagueCastle positioning had been one of the more controversial ones alongside 2024 Clayton Cup winners Camden (32nd) and Group 21 premiers Scone (18th). “The Fishies fans are certainly passionate and we’re aware they have been a powerhouse … but this was a marker on what they had done this year,” Chris said. The parameters that LeagueCastle used involved competitions being essentially divided into three tiers, with

What do country footy fans do in summer, has just been answered by a bush league-focused podcast that has just run a poll of rugby league fans living in the country, “LeagueCastle” which ranked the top 150 sides across the State. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS. major competitions holding a Tier One ranking. The LeagueCastle team saw these to be Newcastle Rugby League, Illawarra Rugby League, Canberra Regional Rugby League, and Western Region’s Peter McDonald Premiership. Traditional “group competitions” had a Tier Two status, according to League Castle. Some of these groups included Group 6 (Macarthur), Group 7 and 16 (South Coast), Group 9 and Group 20 (Riverina), Group 4 (North West NSW) and Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League. Following that, competitions like Castlereagh League and Woodbridge Cup in Western NSW, Hastings League on the North Coast and many others were seeded as Tier Three competitions. With Castlereagh League having ﬁ rst and reserve grade competitions and having group status under the former Country Rugby League, perhaps there was an argument it could have been considered a Tier Two league, but Chris said having to make hard decisions was all part of the fun. And while people can and have critiqued the final LeagueCastle rankings, there can be no denying that a significant body of research was done. Wilcannia Boomerangs, an Outback Rugby League club, came in 118th and the only reason a side from the also-remote Barwon Darling Rugby League wasn’t included, is because the LeagueCastle team couldn’t access competition results from playrugbyleague.com. Chris drives most of the content at LeagueCastle, but he also works with Josh Spi-

gelman, a former Fox Sports statistician, who now assists Newcastle Rugby League clubs with data. “It’s very much designed as a way to get more coverage out there for the local rugby league competitions we cover,” Chris said. “It was something to draw some eyes to the broader bush footy landscape and get people talking in the off-season, which it has achieved.” The LeagueCastle team utilised: www.playrugbyleague.com to evaluate regular season ladders and finals series results. A club had to have a side in to be the top grade of any respective competition to be eligible. In just one competition (Newcastle and Hunter Rugby League) this reduced to amount of clubs eligible from 40 to six. “It was hard to assess … you had to have a look at some of the playing lists and have conversations with people involved in respective competitions, how (representative) teams have performed in country championships,” Chris said. “It isn’t a perfect metric, but it is a raw sum if you will … it was a lot of fun to do, “I’ve been pleasantly surprised, that the majority of the debate has been positive.” The poll, he adds, shows the interest that dedicated fans have in their favourite side. “People are passionate about their teams. We know bush footy is tribal, people have a view on things,” Chris said. “When you are looking across the best part of 30-odd leagues, and teams ranging from towns of a couple of hun-

dred people to major cities like Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra, and the breadth and width of the state, there is noone that could be across all those things perfectly.” Final list builds debate, both on rankings, and eligibility Chris even pointed to clubs to debate around whether teams playing in the Macarthur Premiership competition, which included Clayton Cup winners Camden (18th), can be considered bush clubs. Many people now view the Macarthur region as a part of Sydney, but traditionalists from old Group 6 argue that many of the clubs emerged when their districts were country areas not part of Sydney before the urban sprawl. De La Salle Caringbah (31st) is based in Sydney, but played in the Illawarra competition, so were assessed as a bush club. “It’s led to really interesting about who should be the top teams, but also what should be the criteria,” he said. “Everyone has a different viewpoint … and that what makes bush rugby league and the country and rural rugby league that now all falls under the New South Wales Rugby League so interesting.” Two sides from Western Region, Peter McDonald Premiership runners-up Parkes (10th) and premiers Mudgee (fourth) made the top 10, which only included sides from either the PMP, Newcastle Rugby League, Canberra Regional Rugby League or Illawarra Rugby League. Dubbo CYMS (17th) were eliminated by Mudgee in a gripping PMP preliminary ﬁnal, while Orange CYMS (35th) were knocked out in week one of the play-offs.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES WITH several race meetings remaining until the end of the month, apprentice jockey Shayleigh Ingelse has already ridden seven winners from 13 rides since the start of November including a treble on Sunday at Wellington. Dubbo trainer Michael Mulholland to whom Ingelse is apprenticed has supplied six of those winners, Interventionist, Play The Record, Jet Empress, Epic Poem (twice) and Wandering Jack while the other winner Bylong is trained by Brett Robb. Since her ﬁ rst ride in 2021 when apprenticed in Newcastle, Shayleigh Ingelse has recorded 73 winners and her treble at Wellington featured outstanding exhibitions on Bylong, Epic Poem and Wandering Jack. Bred and raced by Dr Bob Slacksmith and Mrs Slacksmith, Bylong made an auspicious debut when winning the 900 metres KFC Wellington Maiden Handicap.

Warren Bulldogs’ thorough approach earns re-entry into Castlereagh League

Intending players for 2025 Harry Hammond (left) and Braith Boyd (right) with Warren Bulldogs vice-president Adam Pascoe (centre) last night after the club was officially welcomed back into Castlereagh League for next year at Sunday’s annual general meeting. By DALLAS REEVES A THOROUGH five-month offfield process has ensured Warren Bulldogs received unanimous support to re-enter next year’s Castlereagh League competition. Warren Bulldogs were officially accepted into the 2025 Castlereagh League at Sunday’s (November 24) annual general meeting at Gilgandra. It means an 11-club rugby league competition for Castlereagh League next year. The 2025 draw will be formulated to ensure each side plays each other once, with rivalry rounds to be looked at to ensure each side gets an additional three matches. Warren Bulldogs last had a men’s fi rst grade side in 2016 and last won the Castlereagh League fi rst grade competition in 2012. The Bulldogs fielded a women’s league tag side in 2017, which won the competition that season. After a large break out of the competition, Warren wanted to ensure they did everything right in their re-application process to give themselves the best possible chance of re-entry.

Respected local business-people called the Warren community to a meeting on June 19 to gauge local interest and support. A whopping 56 people attended. An annual general meeting was held on August 7 and a strong committee was formed including Brett Brouff (president), Adam Pascoe and Philip Fuller (vice-presidents), Amanda Brien (secretary), treasurers Jo Woolnough and Jamie Haywood and registrar Kate Poidevin. The general committee also includes Matt Stephens, James Taylor, Rob Walker, Scott Fitzgerald, Tony Woolnough, Jason Boyd, Danny Hunt and Harry Thuaux. Then a sign-up day featuring lawn bowls and a barbecue was held on September 21, with 23 men’s ﬁ rst grade and 18 ladies league tag players committing to Warren’s re-birth. In late September, a motion was moved to incorporate Warren Bulldogs Rugby League with NSW Fair Trading. It was only after these matters were attended to, and Warren Bulldogs also sought

clarification of how their proposed squad would fit under the NSW Rugby League’s Player Points Index System (PPIS), that Warren submitted its application for review at the Castlereagh League annual general meeting. The support of local business houses is also in place to ensure Warren can build a successful return into the Castlereagh League. Warren president Brett Brouff said it was great news for the town that it had senior rugby league sides again. He noted a social media post that club secretary Amanda Brien had posted to the Warren NSW Community Noticeboard had achieved at 5pm on Monday, 252 reactions, 38 comments and 21 shares. “The whole town is excited, it’s pretty great news,” he said. “And I’ve had the chance to speak to a few people today (Monday). The response is that it’s great that we are back in the Castlereagh League.” Warren will field sides in the men’s fi rst grade and ladies league tag competitions. Brouff said the club will finalise and appoint coaches

for both sides at a committee meeting in early December. Warren had two applicants for each role. He spoke of the process to get the club ready for next season. “Quite a while back we had the meeting at the Warren Golf Club … that (turnout of 56 people) really surprised everyone,” he said. “We had some meetings after that. We have a strong committee and it all just cruised along well. “The interest is strong across both sides. Every time people talk, we hear about more people being interested.” With coaches to be appointed and more planning in readiness for 2025 to take place across summer, Brouff is aware the work continues for Warren to re-establish itself as a force in Castlereagh League. “We’re full steam ahead now,” he said. “We’ve got some good local players that we want to provide an opportunity to play rugby league and league tag for Warren.” The 11 Castlereagh League clubs for 2025 are premiers Coolah, Cobar, Narromine, Gul-

gong, Coonabarabran, Gilgandra, Coonamble, Baradine, Binnaway, Dunedoo and Warren. Castlereagh League secretary Bryson Luff was happy to report the Warren club will receive a ﬁ nancial boost to the start of their comeback season, they will host the 2025 Castlereagh League senior and youth league knockouts that will be played on April 12 at Warren’s Victoria Park. The 2025 Castlereagh League pre-season will get underway the previous week with the league tag knockout being played at Baradine on April 5. Round one of the competition proper is set down for April 26 concluding with the grand ﬁ nal on September 6. The Castlereagh League board for 2025 will consist of Chris Deighton (Cobar), Matt Guan (Dunedoo), Adrian Worrell (Baradine), Nathan Walker (Coonamble), Brendan Phillips (Binnaway), Peter Hazelton (Gilgandra) and Bryson Luff (secretary).
