‘Nothing new’ Club on ‘cloud nine’ The keys to a brand new ride-on mower were officially handed over to Warwick Aero Modellers on Thursday 24 June by Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi and Councillor Andrew Gale.

The club was announced a recipient of a one-off $5000 grant for the purchase of the equipment just last month, much to members’ delight. Read the full story on page 3

Honoured in street name Southern Downs Regional Council has passed a motion to name three new access roads at Warwick Aerodrome. The roads will be called Ronald Way, Jean Burns Drive, and Valerie Way. Names for the three roads, which are access roads into the Warwick Aerodrome western hangar subdivision, were suggested by the community. Ronald Way is being named in honour of Ron Bellingham, who has a long history with flying in the area. For more turn to page 3

Top of the towns tute used banking data to produce an analysis of domestic migration - compiling its findings in a ‘regional movers index’. Released on Monday 28 June, the index identified migration from capital cities to regional areas was at its highest level since 2018. In the March 2021 quarter, Noosa and South-

ern Downs were identified as the top two local government areas experiencing inward migration from capitals - Noosa recording 49 percent growth and Southern Downs 44 percent. Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce Secretary Amanda Harrold said the new research reiterated the need for strong lo-

cal infrastructure to handle growth. “A silver lining of the Covid-19 pandemic is Australians’ newfound appreciation for the lifestyle offered in the regions, and Stanthorpe is well placed to benefit from that realisation,” Amanda said. Story on page 4

Complaints against complaints Councillor Tancred asserts he upholds democratic values so it is surprising that in last week’s paper (17 June) he complains about ratepayers complaints about SDRC. If he really upholds the democratic values of transparency and accountability he might explain the decision to sell our water for between $2500 and $3400 per megalitre to the Emu Swamp dam project and then buy it back for $6000 per megalitre. How is this in any way serving ratepayers interests? I would love to hear an explanation. Perhaps at the same time you (Mr Tancred) could also acknowledge that you are one of the councillors with a declared ‘perceived conflict of interest’ who also initially voted for the council to investigate and consider participation in the Emu Swamp project. - John Morison, Stanthorpe Dealing with the dilemma The letter-to-the editor that was in the WarwickStanthorpeToday on 24/6/21, lamenting the small vehicle parking spaces in Stanthorpe and Warwick, raised a number of well thought out reasons why the parking spaces should be increased in size. I am sure many would agree with the letter writer. However, time spent composing a letter to the papers might be better spent writing directly to council about the parking issue, as it is they that has to spend the money to make the necessary changes to the parking arrangements. Better still, it might be more profitable to organise a petition to present to council regarding the proposed changes. There have been those who have felt strongly about issues and have run for elected office. Some have managed to win a seat in some lo-

cal, state or federal jurisdiction. But once there they quickly discover there is little they can accomplish even after entering therein with the best of intentions. Why is this so? It’s really quite simple; the political system at every level has been hamstrung by legislation, government edicts, and international agreements, that allows our elected representatives little room in which to maneuver. This process has been evolving for generations and isn’t going to change any time soon, despite letter writing or gaining a seat on an elected governing body. Today’s well written and common sense letter is tomorrow’s forgotten issue. What then can be done to effect change? STOP supporting the system! If a large percentage of voters voted informal in our “compulsory” voting system it would rattle the higher ups as nothing else would. The system craves legitimacy, and it matters not which party is in power or who sits on what seat: be it a party person or an independent. Take away their legitimacy and their houseof-cards would collapse and then the re-building process could begin. - Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin

We received great news this week that the Southern Downs Regional Council area had been identified as one of the two most popular regional areas for city dwellers to relocate to. A stroll down Palmerin Street in Warwick, or down Maryland Street in Stanthorpe, indicates this is true. Our main street shops seem to be filled with people and our hospitality staff run off their feet. Motels have flashing ‘no vacancies’ signs in their front windows and local tours are booked out months in advance. Of course, this is a wonderful thing in so many ways. But there are some issues that Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce Secretary Amanda Harrold raised – as referred to in an article I wrote this week – that I do think are worth considering. Areas like water, sewerage and roads will need significant attention to cope with the population surge. Certainly more housing options are also required. Larger families who require houses with three or more bedrooms are already struggling to find accommodation, particularly rentals. This problem will likely just become more common with time, unless we see more blocks developed. I note that in the council’s 2021-22 budget, released last week and analysed in this week’s Warwick/Stanthorpe Today, SDRC proposed that the discount developers receive on rates prior to selling blocks be raised from 40 per cent to 70 per cent. Rates and service charges, such as water and sewerage, have also been reduced. Time will tell how effective this move is in growing local housing stock, but I do think – given how quickly the Southern Downs’ population is growing – it is a step in the right direction. I think a major benefit of our region’s growth is that with it comes visibility. We, as residents of the Southern Downs and Granite Belt, are well aware of how great a place our region is – and of how deserving it is of state and federal investment. But our growth means that others, even those who have never visited our region, are more likely to see that too.

High honour for locals By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council has passed a motion to name three new access roads at Warwick Aerodrome. The roads will be called Ronald Way, Jean Burns Drive, and Valerie Way. Names for the three roads, which are access roads into the Warwick Aerodrome western hangar subdivision, were suggested by the community. Ronald Way is being named in honour of Ron Bellingham, who has a long history with flying in the area. In a submission to the council, it was stated that Ron Bellingham “understood the value of Warwick as a safe field when Stanthorpe and Toowoomba were subject to low cloud or when there were storms on the range preventing flights to Brisbane. He was also instrumental in the purchase of the land to the east to build hangers.” Jean Burns Drive is being named in honour of Jean Burns, the first woman to parachute over Australia and the youngest female pilot for 15 years. In the submission to the council for this

name, Nancy-Bird Walton and Freda Thompson were also nominated, and the submission stated they were “pioneers of our airways” that would be an excellent choice for our airport. Valerie Way is being named in honour of Val Wilkinson. She and her husband, Bill, are “living legends” in the Southern Downs’ gliding community. Val is highly accomplished, achieving the Australian women’s height record flying 26,825 feet above Cunningham’s Gap in 1980, a record unbeaten to this day. She was also given the Australian Women Pilots Association award in 2012 for her outstanding contributions to gliding. “Bill Wilkinson has supported club activities as an airworthiness officer for many years and has kept the clubs aircraft operational to the present day. Both Val and Bill are much valued life members of the gliding club being continuous members for 50 years,” the submission stated. Councillor Tancred stated that “its’s great to see that on three new streets, two of them are named after ladies that have made a contribu-

tion to the gliding and aerodrome sport”. Other community-suggested names included Nancy Bird Walton Drive, Bill and Val Wilkinson Road, Mary Bradford Shepherd Drive, Bill Wilkinson Road, Bob Keogh Drive, Freda Thompson Way, and Dr John Best Drive. Nancy Bird Walton was the founder and patron of the Australian Women Pilots’ Association, and at 19 was the youngest Australian woman to gain a pilot’s licence. May Bradford Shepherd was the first woman in Australia to hold first class Pilot’s A, B, and C licences concurrently. She also held a D electrical ground engineers’ certificate and was the only known woman at the time to hold an X certificate in oxy-welding and metallurgy. Freda Thompson was the first Australian woman to fly solo from the UK to Australia, and was the fifth woman in Australia to hold a C licence. She was also a qualified flying instructor and was reported at the time as the first woman in the British Empire to obtain instructors licence. Bob Keogh was a prominent local figure who wore the hats of train driver, flying instructor,

family man, and more. He was a flying instructor for many years at the Warwick Aerodrome. Dr John Best and his wife Dr Judith Best were well-known residents of Warwick who owned a twin engine aircraft which John flew all over Australia. The gliding club now use his original hangar, which is the first hangar to the west of the fuel facility on Road 3. There is an acknowledgment plaque on the hangar. SDRC stated that “all of the nominated names are recognised for their contribution to aviation and the Warwick Aerodrome. All are worthy of being considered of having a road named after them”. Names were chosen to avoid confusion with existing road names, such as Bellingham, Bradford, Shepherd, Keogh, Thompson, and Best. New street signs will be ordered; totalling an estimated cost of $270 to the council. Councillor Gale moved the motion, with Councillor Gliori seconding it. The official opening of the new roads is expected to occur at the end of July, once signs have arrived.

Morgan Park club celebrates funding By Jess Baker A local remote control flying club has been presented with grant-funded equipment to assist it in its recovery from drought. The keys to a brand new ride-on mower were officially handed over to Warwick Aero Modellers on Thursday 24 June by Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi and Councillor Andrew Gale. The club was announced a recipient of a one-off $5000 grant for the purchase of the equipment just last month, after submitting an application for the federal government’s Drought Communities program through Southern Downs Regional Council in April. Warwick Aero Modellers president Dennis Mooney said the club had received a number of grants in recent years – totalling nearly $70,000 – to fund the construction of fencing, a disabled toilet, and other accessibility improvements. “In five years, we’ve achieved a lot – three grants – and it’s really great the council’s helped us along the way as well,” Dennis said. Club grants coordinator Garry Heard said the group had gone to great lengths to build an all-inclusive clubhouse, with a focus on remote controlled aero modelling. “We intend to offer support activities like building models to fly, simulator training and a friendly place to just come chat over a coffee,” Garry said. “We see our club as a place where there is a sense of belonging for all to enjoy.” The ride-on mower will be used to help maintain the club’s air strip and field, which Garry said was damaged by kangaroos des-

Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi, WAM president Dennis Mooney and Councillor Andrew Gale celebrated the club’s successful grant application.

“Without assistance like this federal initiative, and SDRC support, our members would be fundraising for many years to come, with little chance of reaching our goals.” The club’s commitment to making aero

modelling an activity all can enjoy was praised at the presentation on Thursday by a number of local disability support organisations. Warwick and District Disability Support Group chairman Peter Stacy said it was crucial the needs of people with a disability were elevated in the community. “So little things like the height of light switches, mobility issues, vision issues, hearing impairment and things of that nature are really important to them because they can’t advocate for these things themselves,” Peter said. “Only by them being included in the community do their needs become apparent to others and it is in that particular context that I’m so happy to be here.” Mayor Vic Pennisi reflected on the work of the club and its dedicated volunteers. “I always say, it’s not councils, it’s not governments that make communities. It’s people like you, the people that are sitting here,” Cr Pennisi said. “You are the guys, you are the powerhouse of what makes this a great place to work, live, play, stay.” Warwick Aero Modellers has now been operating for 11 years, and currently comprises 32 members – many of whom will travel lengthy distances each week to build, fly, and race their models. Those interested in becoming a member of the club, or in seeing model planes fly for themselves, are welcome to contact club president Dennis Mooney on 0438 477 974.

Samantha earns top job By Jess Baker Our very own Samantha Wantling has been appointed to a new position of Advertising Manager for Warwick Today, Stanthorpe Today and associated publications. Formerly an Advertising Sales Executive with Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today, Samantha now has direct responsibility across all sales functions and staff – as well as local leadership and management over all staff in the Warwick/Stanthorpe Today office. Born and bred in Stanthorpe, Samantha is a familiar face to most everyone in the Southern Downs and Granite Belt as well as to those in the local media industry. She began her media career 12 years ago at the Stanthorpe Border Post, but said news has always been a big part of her life. “I did my Grade 10 work experience with the Stanthorpe Border Post, my Grade 11 work experience at TV 10 in Brisbane and my Grade 12 work experience again at the Stanthorpe Border Post,” Samantha said. “When I finished high school I was a Rotary Exchange student in the USA and during that time I used to write an article a month for both the Warwick Daily News and the Stanthorpe Border Post.

Samantha Wantling, Advertising Manager for Warwick Today, Stanthorpe Today and associated publications. “If you can’t already tell, newspapers have always been a huge part of my life and my passion for them is unrivalled.” In her new role, Samantha said she looks forward to getting to know the region’s business community on a more personal level and helping groups and individuals achieve their marketing goals.

“I am so excited to see Warwick/Stanthorpe Today grow in our marketplace and help take our businesses and events to a new level through our combined marketing strategies,” she said. “Be it in our paper, online, in the digital space, or in any of our six other Today papers and four Seniors publications across Queensland.”

Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today have undergone some major changes in the past 12 months – including a name change, a return to a tabloid news format, and the introduction of a glossy lifestyle magazine. Samantha said the growth the papers have seen is indicative of readers’ support. “Whether it is through our articles or through our advertisements, we are telling the story of our region, we are telling your story,” she said. “And knowing that no matter what is happening in our region, there is a paper you can turn to. “Whilst I can’t reveal everything that we have up our sleeves, let’s just say we will continue to live and breathe your community, our community.” The team at Warwick Today and Stanthorpe Today are thrilled to have Samantha step up as Advertising Manager, and know her passion for the region, its people, and our publications will spur our growth going forward. Businesses and individuals interested in meeting with Samantha to discuss advertising, an upcoming event, or simply to introduce themselves are invited to contact her on 0439 420 289.

Southern Downs region is top place to live By Jess Baker The Southern Downs has recorded the second-largest growth in capital to regional migration of all local government areas in Australia, signifying to some an urgent need for development and innovation. In partnership with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the Regional Australia Institute used banking data to produce an analysis of domestic migration – compiling its findings in a ‘regional movers index’. Released on Monday 28 June, the index identified migration from capital cities to regional areas was at its highest level since 2018. In the March 2021 quarter, Noosa and Southern Downs were identified as the top two local government areas experiencing inward migration from capitals – Noosa recording 49 percent growth and Southern Downs 44 percent. Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce Secretary Amanda Harrold said the new research reiterated the need for strong local infrastructure to handle growth. “A silver lining of the Covid-19 pandemic is Australians’ newfound appreciation for the lifestyle offered in the regions, and Stanthorpe is well placed to benefit from that realisation,” Amanda said. “To ensure this population growth is sustainable and ongoing it is essential we start thinking about how our infrastructure will support this influx of people, especially in terms of water infrastructure.”

Amanda said the consideration of water supply was “critical”, given Stanthorpe was required to truck in water for more than 16 months – at a cost of $10 million – just last year. “Our water supply is no longer adequate to support the growing community and we cannot put off building new water storage facilities,” she said. She referred to Granite Belt Water’s Emu Swamp Dam project, of which she is a vocal supporter, calling it the “best opportunity” for Southern Downs Regional Council to secure water quickly. “This population growth is happening now, and Emu Swamp Dam is on the verge of construction. It is the best option to provide the community with water security,” Amanda said. “Council’s net cost for the (Granite Belt Irrigation Project) will be $2.5 million, as they will receive revenue through the Project’s purchasing of the land in the inundation area and water allocations. “Any alternative option the council is considering is at least 10 years away, and would require both securing funding and the many approvals associated with any sizeable infrastructure project.” Warwick Chamber of Commerce President Julia Keogh said she too was pleased to know the Southern Downs had seen such significant growth, as it proved the region was an ideal place to live and work. “Our region welcomes population diver-

sity and with our enviable rural lifestyle, connection to services and facilities, the current trend for population growth will see a range of regional benefits including a wider range of services, industry and business opportunities,” Julia said. The recent population surge has significantly impacted the local housing and rental market, with Stanthorpe real estate agent Logan Steele this week telling Warwick and Stanthorpe Today the amount of stock he had available was the lowest it had been in “donkeys’ years”. “I’ve been in the industry for 37 and a half years and I have never, ever experienced such a display of buying, of a frenzy, in all those years,” Logan said. “We’re getting a lot of people from Brisbane, the Gold Coast and northern New South Wales.” Logan said the Covid-19 pandemic had shown people that being in the city was “not so nice” when stay-at-home orders were enforced. Tori DeMamiel of First National Warwick said city dwellers were also snapping up “weekender” homes, for if and when things go “pear-shaped” in the city. “They’re looking at farms, residential houses, anything that they can get their lands on,” Tori said. She said people are chasing the lifestyle Warwick offers, and new working-fromhome arrangements make the prospect of moving quite attractive.

A Southern Downs Regional Council spokeswoman said attracting skilled workers, such as professionals working from home, provides for a larger employment base to support investments within the region. “As a result of Covid-19, Australia appears to be entering a new era of “regionalism”, in which residents are relocating from capital and larger cities to regional centres, boosting economic development,” said the spokeswoman. “The Southern Downs has already had some instances of this move by business people and ‘work from home’ workers and looks to capitalise on as much as possible.” The SDRC spokeswoman said that the biggest risk for the Southern Downs region in the next two to three years is that there may not be enough “reliable and motivated” workers to fill new jobs as they become available. “In 2020, the region saw a decline in the number of agricultural workers employed, which can be attributed to the effects of drought and Covid-19,” she said. “On average, 5000 to 7000 workers (made up of mainly overseas workers) are employed over the annual harvest season. 2020/21 saw only a portion of these usual numbers, with approximately 2000 workers employed for the picking season.” The spokeswoman said a large number of jobs in a range of sectors, including construction and trade, aged care, retail, agriculture and food processing, will become available in the coming years.

Businesses in town centre succumb to power outage By Dominique Tassell The Warwick town centre suffered a large blackout on Tuesday 29 June, impacting local businesses for almost two hours. Businesses including the post office, QCWA, Little Gallery Cafe, Suncorp, Samios, and Toy Workx were affected by the blackout. A representative from Little Gallery Cafe said they have a regular table of 12 on Tuesday mornings, who they had to turn away due to the blackout. The morning rush is one of the cafe’s busiest times, so the impact of the blackout was large. The QCWA on Grafton Street said they got their power back at 11.20am, and went almost two hours without any. They also said the street lights on the corner of Albion Street and Grafton Street were out for a period of time. A small crowd had gathered outside the

Little Gallery Cafe staff member Mackenzie Furness was among many left scratching their heads at a power outage on Tuesday morning. Picture: JESS BAKER post office, waiting to access the building once the power came back on. They seemingly maintained quite a line for the rest of the day. The Suncorp on Palmerin Street was af-

fected, with the ATM down and the store shut down during the blackout. A staff member said there were “a few people scratching their heads wondering what was going on”.

Jodie from ISIS Beauty and Day Spa said that the blackout was a “pain in the ass”, and that she had to work hard the rest of the day to make back the money she’d lost as a result. A staff member at the Toy Workx said that it was surprising how random the outage appeared to be, with some businesses retaining power while others didn’t. A representative from Ergon said that the blackout had been triggered by the grid’s protection system, similar to a safety switch. It is estimated that around 42 Warwick customers were affected by the blackout. The Ergon representative said emergency repairs were required, and a crew was on site working on it and trying to find out if there was a problem. They were reportedly looking at a substation in the area. It is unclear where the problem was location, however workers were seen outside St Mark’s street on Grafton Street.

Media policy defended By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council has passed a new media policy without full council support, prompting Mayor Vic Pennisi to defend the policy. Mayor Pennisi says he has made it clear from the start of his term that he was going to “soften the policy on media for our councillors to be able to have that freedom (to speak to the media)”. “I have no issues with councillors talking to the media” Mayor Pennisi says the guidelines in the policy concerning councillors speaking on behalf of SDRC or themselves are there to help protect councillors if a complaint is brought against them by ensuring they have documented whether they are presenting their own personal view or the view of council. He referenced a previous incident when he himself received a complaint because he was labelled as “Councillor Vic Pennisi” on TV when speaking on his own behalf. “We’re in a new (media environment) to what we were in even five years ago,” he stated. “Now I do say, if it’s my personal view, I will always say it.” “Now whether the media record it or not, that’s another thing. “So there’s a level of complexity that’s been handed down to us from above in relation to speaking to the media, and we need to get it right.” Mayor Pennisi says that the current media policy is “about protecting Southern Downs Regional Council as well as councillors”. “If a councillor comes to you, and I’m happy for them to talk to you, if they come to you and they write an article in the paper that has a crack at council or has a crack at our media officers or at the mayor or at the CEO or anybody, they will have breached the code of conduct.

“And I didn’t make the code of conduct.” SDRC Communications Officer Danielle Cassells says that council has always had a media policy, and “it just evolves with the times and the approach that the council takes”. Mayor Pennisi says that the new media policy improved on the old one, which was adopted in 2016. He says the terminology “was conflicting in a couple of the paragraphs and that was what was different. And that was corrected.” When comparing the new policy with the old one, there are some significant changes. The scope of the policy has been expanded to further define council staff, and to apply to all parties whether at work or at home. The policy has been expanded to include that council officers will “make a reasonable effort to diversify representation and include appropriate councillors”. The ‘public comment by councillors’ section in the new policy has been altered to include that councillors should “identify whether a media outlet will make the distinction between a personal or professional opinion prior to the interview if they intend to speak from a stance other than Council”. The section on public comment by staff has had the section restricting council staff’s spouses and close relatives from providing personal comment removed. The new policy also states that SDRC branding should not be provided to a media outlet without prior approval, and has had a sentence calling for media to email through questions removed. Councillors must now, wherever possible, notify the Media and Communications Coordinator and Officer(s) of interview requests received directly from the media, if the interview went ahead, and give a brief overview of the interview if undertaken. SDRC Communications Officer Danielle

Cassells says that this was added as a courtesy to “give (staff ) a bit of a heads up so that if (councillors) come to us, then we know that that’s gone on in the background. That you’ve already spoken to councillor x, y, z”. The policy features minor tweaks throughout, including the addition of phrasing such as ‘wherever possible’ and ‘as soon as possible’. The policy has had entirely new sections added on media response during disaster management, video production, and emergency communications. When the policy was passed in council on June 23, one councillor notably did not vote to pass it. Councillor Cynthia McDonald stated that while she believes “the intent of the policy has merit, as it’s attempting to ensure that there is a consistent message that is actually given by the council”, she could not support it. Councillor McDonald stated that the council was moving towards “democratic backsliding” as she believed the policy was removing councillors’ ability to speak freely, which could be seen as a possible effort to silence any dissent from within council. Councillor McDonald stated that she had previously gone to the CEO for advice before commenting to the media, and that every councillor would be responsible enough to do the same should they have questions that needed clarifying. She also stated that when in an interview, she did not know what questions were going to be posed and could therefore not possibly give 24 hours’ notice of them. Given those points, Councillor McDonald stated she would not be supporting the policy, believing it needed further work. While Councillor McDonald opposed the policy, it was supported by the rest of council. Councillor Ross Bartley stated that he

thought the intent of the policy was right. He stated “if you read the purpose of the policy is designed to strengthen and build on council’s existing relationship with the media in aims to ensure consistency by councillors and staff dealing with the media on a day-to-day basis, and provide some guidelines for successful media relations”. Councillors Cameron Gow, Stephen Tancred, and Marco Gliori suggested amending the policies to include the phrase “wherever possible” for consistency, with both Councillors Gow and Tancred stating they did not believe the policy contained anything prohibiting them from talking to the media. Councillor Gow stated that he shared all inquiries, from both the media and community with the CEO and mayor. “I think that’s all we’re looking for from the media policy is the same as we treat with respect anyone in the community. Is that everyone is entitled to whatever information that they want within legislative bounds, and let’s make sure that everyone gets the same message so everyone’s on the same page,” Councillor Gow stated. Mayor Pennisi stated that the policy was about ensuring a consistent message, and that he prioritises communicating with council staff already to ensure this. “It’s about the organisation, it’s not about me. It’s not about us, it’s about the organisation.” Councillor Tancred stated that he thought council needed to give the policy “a chance to work”, and that if there were complaints they could review it down the track. The motion was moved by Councillor Tancred, and seconded by Councillor Gale. Councillor McDonald did not speak any further against the policy, saying she thought she’d said enough.

SDRC budget is no-frills By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council has adopted what it calls an “honest, no-frills” budget for 2021-22. In a statement released on Wednesday 23 June, the council described its budget decisions as a way to help the Southern Downs region recover economically from drought, bushfires, and a pandemic. Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi said the council finds itself in “the perfect financial storm” post Covid-19, and so it must prioritise core business. “This budget aims to contain costs, fix operating deficits in the key services of water and waste, and detail a plan to address ageing infrastructure,” Cr Pennisi said. “And, it is not all bad news. This budget supports community, cultural and environmental initiatives with over $1.1 million and delivers one of the biggest capital works programs to date including $5.5 million for flood repair.” The budget takes into consideration the council’s plans – and duty – to spend $30 million over the next five years on renewing sewerage infrastructure. Wastewater charges will see an increase of 1.5 per cent and general rates will increase, on average, by 1.3 per cent. “In the rates space, we have acknowledged that recent land valuations by the Valuer General may translate to potentially large increases for some residents and to smooth the impact of these changes, a new rating category for Small Crops has been introduced, which will limit the rates increase in Small Crops and Agriculture to no more than 50 per cent,” Cr Pennisi said. Waste will now be recognised as a standalone business unit of SDRC, as water and waste water already is.

The council’s 2021-22 budget will see wastewater charges, general rates, and waste fees increase. “There is no silver bullet and we need to bring our water and sewerage infrastructure up to date,” Cr Pennisi said. “(The) council currently charges three different waste charges depending on location and one of the measures being implemented over the next two years is to bring together the entire region under one charge.” Cr Pennisi said the council’s loss in waste was “in the vicinity” of $3 million to $4 million each year and it had no choice but to “stop the bleed”. A new Landfill Access Charge of $30 per rateable assessment per year will be charged equally across the region, the Commercial Waste Disposal Fee will increase to $120 per tonne as well as the State Government Levy,

and Kerbside Collection fees will be equalised across the region to a single fee. The council will also reduce operating hours at manned landfill sites, which is expected to save it $380,000 each year. Speaking of the budget, the mayor referred to a ‘Brain Trust’ – comprised of a number of stakeholders including state government representatives – which the council plans to use to identify ways to increase its income, its service delivery and put downward pressure on rates. “We are currently collaborating with our neighbours exploring common inhibitors and finding ways to combine resources to better manage what we find difficult to do alone,” he said.

Picture: FILE The council has also further reduced service charges and rates on newly developed blocks of land and said it had long considered developer holding costs to be an impediment to growing the local housing stock. The discount developers receive on rates prior to selling blocks of land will increase from 40 percent to 70 percent. SDRC has committed $53 million across 109 capital works programs, with most funding directed to general works and water and sewerage. Just over $1 million will go towards supporting local community groups - nearly one quarter of which has been committed to Warwick Art Gallery and Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery.

Innovation focus for new council advisory group By Jess Baker

while she believed the intent of the committee had merit, she had several concerns in regards to the Terms of Reference tabled. “The first being unelected officials would be setting the agenda, not elected members,” she said at the time. “This type of process could be considered as undermining our democratically elected members who have been appointed by their constituents for their experience and qualifications.” She asked the council why the meeting details would be confidential, given the council was looking to provide transparency. Last week, Cr Pennisi told Warwick and Stanthorpe Today that the correspondence provided by him to committee members would also be shared with the media. He confirmed minutes from the committee’s meetings would be “circulated around”, though not about matters which are com-

mercial in confidence. The council’s decision to form an advisory committee has faced some criticism from the public since May, but Cr Pennisi said they are no new concept. “Look, I’ve known many, many mayors in the past and nearly all of them have had some sort of advisory group,” he said. “The only difference with this mayor is I’ve let everyone know.” He revealed that former Southern Downs Mayor Tracey Dobie had an economic development committee and former Mayor Peter Blundell had an advisory committee. “In fact, my understanding is that the previous Mayor Dobie was on Mayor Blundell’s committee,” Cr Pennisi said. “But I didn’t know who was on their committees, it didn’t matter. Those committees, in many respects, are irrelevant because whatever the outcome is, it has to be approved in the boardroom.”

Southern Downs Regional Council has established a new advisory committee, which Mayor Vic Pennisi said will help the council tackle challenges associated with waste, population growth, and income. The council voted to adopt Terms of Reference for the Southern Downs Innovation and Development Committee at an ordinary meeting on 26 May. Cr Pennisi said last week that while he hadn’t yet met with the committee, its members had been established. “So what I did was I basically invited expressions of interest from a heap of people and I said if you’re interested send us your CV,” Cr Pennisi said. “… we’re down to six members plus a couple of government departments, state development, and the innovation arm of Minister Hinchcliffe’s.”

Cr Pennisi said it will be the decision of the members whether to share their identities with the public, as they “don’t need to get caught up in the politics of it all”. “But (the committee) is there to try and help us steer this local government in a direction where we embrace innovation and we do it in a way without the politics,” he said. The mayor said the first topics on the committee’s agenda would be innovation in waste, population growth, and alternate income streams for the council. He said those three topics were the council’s “really big inhibitors”, closely followed by water and sewerage. The committee’s Terms of Reference were not wholly accepted by Southern Downs councillors when brought to a meeting in May, with Councillor Cynthia McDonald the most vocal critic. Cr McDonald shared at the meeting that

Staff moves at council By Jess Baker Southern Downs Regional Council last week confirmed it had undertaken some “internal changes” that saw several staff made redundant. In a statement released on Friday 25 June, the council stated that a review of its organisational structure identified the need to “realign the management of functions within several departments to streamline communication, improve processes and enhance effective decision making”. SDRC Chief Executive Officer Dave Burges said that some staff had been affected, but the council’s first priority was to “redeploy” those staff into vacant roles within the organisation. “Apart from the merging of two manager roles, which unfortunately resulted in one of them no longer working for (the) council, five positions within the organisation have been made redundant and three new positions have been created,” Mr Burges said. “Affected staff have been provided with a list of all available vacancies, including the new positions, and have been invited to indicate which, if any, of these positions they would like to be considered for.” Mr Burges said this initial process would conclude on Friday 2 July, at which date redeployment options would be assessed and details provided to affected staff. “It is important to note that as an organisation we are always looking to improve how we operate and we are constantly evolving to meet the needs of how we deliver our core business,” he said. “I sincerely acknowledge that this is a dif-

ficult and unsettling time for the affected staff and the organisation in general.” He said last week’s decisions were not made lightly, and would support the council’s vision to cut red tape and be more transparent and adaptable in uncertain times. “These are challenging times and in order to maintain (the) council’s service levels to a standard accepted and supported by the community and to ensure our long term stability, it is unavoidable to evolve as an organisation,” Mr Burges said. “I will be working hard to ensure we are a council that our community and employees can be proud of.” A number of projects, including the establishment of an internal Organisational Development Team, are now in the works for the council and are intended to improve its service delivery, systems and communications. Mr Burges said he was also developing a “red tape reduction program and a customerled charter development program”. “There are a number of exciting projects on the horizon for the Southern Downs region and I want to thank the community for their patience as we navigate this period of change,” he said.

My broken arm By William Lister, age 7 The day after my birthday in March I was driving my new green and black buggy I got for my birthday when I turned the corner really fast and it rolled and the roll cage landed on my arm. My arm got broken really bad and mum called the ambulance. The ambulance gave me the green whistle and some other thing they squirted up my nose. We went to Stanthorpe hospital in the ambulance and they put a cast on my broken arm. The place that got broken in my arm was the top part of my left arm called the humerus.

The next day mum rang another doctor in Toowoomba and booked me in for surgery to join the broken bones up straight and put a pin inside the bone to hold it together. I had a special cast on for 12 weeks and couldn’t play footy or go swimming. The worst part was that I couldn’t play footy with the Gremlins at Suncorp stadium or at the Titans game at the Gold Coast. But my friends at school and Mrs O’Dea all signed my cast. Last Monday I had another surgery to take the pins out. Now it feels heaps better and I can do all the things that I wanted to do before when I had a broken arm.

Warwick hosts Cup tour By Jess Baker As the Melbourne Cup embarks this weekend on a months-long tour around Australia, the Southern Downs prepares to join racing history. Warwick has officially been declared a destination in the 19th annual Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour and will host the iconic 18-carat gold trophy on Wednesday 29 September. Warwick Turf Club has already begun planning a range of community events for visitors and locals to enjoy as part of the visit, with a number of racing legends accompanying the Cup as Tour Ambassadors. Honorary Treasurer of Warwick Turf Club Kathy Wyvill said the community was looking

forward to being part of this year’s tour. “Warwick is known as the ‘Horsepower Capital of Australia’ so it is only fitting the iconic Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy visits as part of its annual tour,” she said. “We look forward to sharing the Cup with the community.” The Turf Club will be supported by the Victoria Racing Club in planning and hosting events during the Cup’s visit. Warwick will join 29 other towns and cities across Australia in hosting the Cup and will also be part of the Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour National Sweep - an initiative that gives 24 Cup Tour destinations the chance to be allocated a barrier for the 2021 Lexus Melbourne Cup.

The town which draws the barrier of the Lexus Melbourne Cup-winning horse will be presented with a cash prize of $50,000 to be dedicated to a nominated charity for a local community initiative. Warwick Turf Club Secretary Kristen Doyle said if Warwick wins the cash prize, all funds will be donated to the Endeavour Foundation’s Warwick Learning and Lifestyle centre. Victoria Racing Club Chairman Neil Wilson said the tour plays an important role in showcasing towns and communities with people across Australia and the world. “The (club) is pleased to be taking the iconic Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy back on the road after restricted travel last year, and sharing it with the nation again,” Neil said.

“Now in its 19th year, the Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour allows local communities to come together to share stories, celebrate their favourite racing moments and to raise funds for local community charities and initiatives in their town.” The Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour will officially begin this Saturday 3 July at Port Augusta in South Australia, when it attends the Port Augusta Cup race meeting. The Cup will travel through South Australia to Victoria, then to New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania – finishing up back in Victoria on 2 November for the Lexus Melbourne Cup Day.

Council removes Bazaar from Heritage Register By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council has officially removed 34 Albion Street from the Local Heritage Register at the request of the owners. The building is being removed from the register due to its “structural instability and inability to be economically repaired”, according to council documents. The owners of the building are required to conduct an archival quality photographic record of the features of the place, in accordance with the standards outlined in the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection’s Archival recording of heritage places guideline. This record is to be submitted to Council. The building was originally listed on the former Warwick Shire Council’s ‘Sites Recognised to be of Heritage Significance’ list, taking effect in 1999.

34 Albion Street has been removed from the Local Heritage Register. The listing identified the building as the Albion Street Bazaar. The owners of the property were advised in 2012 that the property was included in the

Local Heritage Register. The building was identified as significant due to its “architectural value as a relativelyintact small commercial building complete with shop front and post-supported street awning”. The owners say the shop was included in the Local Heritage Register in 2011 with no consultation or communication with them. They requested the building be removed from the Local Heritage Register in 2011 due to the building not being used as a commercial building for over five years. They did not receive a response. The owners state that “commercial insurance and council rates made the small amount of rent for this building unviable”. Following the floods of 2010, 2011, and 2013, the owners state the building has deteriorated to “an uninhabitable condition” with termite damage to the flooring and other

wooden structures within the shop. The owners submitted a structural condition report to SDRC, showing that much of the building need replacing or upgrading in order to prevent further deterioration. Council has the authority to remove the property from the Local Heritage Register if they are satisfied the building is no longer a place of cultural heritage significance. Council stated that “whilst the buildings deterioration does not negate its cultural heritage significance, the original design limitations particularly with regards to the flooring and awning, and the subsequent extent of works required to repair the Commercial Building to its original state are considered to be reasonably beyond economic repair.” It was ruled that the building is no longer of sufficient cultural heritage significance warranting its inclusion on the Local Heritage Register.

Grant for Pratten Post By Dominique Tassell The Pratten Progress and Preservation Association have received a grant of $2990 to go towards producing their community newspaper, the Pratten Post. The grant was announced by Maranoa MP David Littleproud on June 29. “Local publications keep us up to date with happenings in the community, unite residents and support local business growth and devel-

opment, and that’s why I’m pleased to secure $2990 for the Pratten Progress and Preservation Association to start a community newspaper,” Mr Littleproud said. “This funding will allow the association to purchase a laptop and printer to produce the Pratten Post, which will inform local residents of community activities in and around the Pratten region and foster community participation. Mr Littleproud stressed the importance of

community news in regional areas. “For many residents in our rural communities, printed content is their only way to stay informed with news and events in their community. This communication is essential in building a sense of belonging and pride in Pratten,” he said. “This is great news for the Pratten community and the volunteers who are working hard behind the scenes to provide this publication for the community.

“Regional communities are the heart of this country and I want to make sure that small capital projects are funded and the community gets exactly what it needs.” Diane Lawlor, a member of the team behind Pratten Post, said the team is “just about ready” to bring out their next edition. “We thank everybody for their support.” Diane said the small team behind the Pratten Post just want to keep the community informed.

Council passes Pratten Urban Design Framework The village of Pratten is getting a facelift, after council passed the Pratten Urban Design Framework. The framework focussed on three core objectives, those being reinforcing the local identity, township improvements and upgrades, and encouraging a cohesive and active community. Council stated that “projects included in the plan will help ensure the unique character and identity of the community is protected and enhanced.” The community was heavily consulted to form the framework, and identified several projects they considered of high importance. This included reinforcing the role of the Leyburn-Cunningham Road and White Street intersection as the core of Pratten. Locals also asked for this section of road to be upgraded in order to improve safety and local accessibility to the town centre. Locals also asked for the creation of distinctive town entries, street tree planting to be undertaken, and for footpaths to be in-

stalled in key locations. Establishing a tourist information and rest stop in the town centre, and improvements to Heritage Park were also identified as projects locals wanted undertaken. However, some residents provided feedback stating they wanted the focus to be on improving the village for locals, not to attract tourists. “(The) first priority should be looking after the issues in the town at the moment. Seal the roads and maintain Heritage Park. The park is an area to grow and we want to build the town for the ratepayers, not the tourists.” Council stated that “the sentiment at consultation was roads and parks…the community are primarily concerned with bitumen roads and one good park”. There was a particular focus on Heritage Park, with calls for caravan parking, better lighting, more play equipment, additional shaded areas, extra bins, and another toilet. President of the Pratten Progress & Preservation Association (PPPA), Colin Phillips, said locals would like improvements such as

murals on the way into town, but at the end of the day it’s ratepayers’ money that is going to be spent. He said he “can just see it costing thousands”. Colin said the process of creating the plan had been incredibly “wishy-washy”. Locals were told projects such as rubbish tip signage were going to take 3-5 years, while others were to be assessed in the next 10 years. “What’s the point?” Colin said Councillor Sheryl Windle had been a huge help, stepping in to advocate for locals and “sorting it out”. Colin said the town’s main focus was on road improvements, and the current method of simply grading roads is not enough. “We need culverts and roads properly fixed not just graded”. Colin said there are still many dirt roads in town, and this has led to claims lodged with council over car damage that council will then not pay. Councillor Windle, a long-time supporter

of the UDF initiative, said she was excited to endorse the plan and was looking forward to Pratten progressing and building on its country appeal. “The Southern Downs region is particularly unique in offering a smorgasbord of country charm with many charming villages,” she said. “Pratten’s framework considers its existing strengths and aims to improve and build on the unique qualities that make Pratten home for those who cherish the village’s history and atmosphere.” “The UDF initiative recognises and supports each of our villages in realising their potential, and we will not stop until all the townships on the Southern Downs have undergone urban design framework projects.” Frameworks have already been rolled-out in Wallangarra, Maryvale, and Leyburn, with the Dalveen draft recently adopted at the Ordinary Meeting on Wednesday 26 May 2021. Quarterly reports will be provided to ensure tangible outputs and transparent communication on progress or changes.

Gale shares journey Almost half of Australians will face mental ill-health during their lives – and yet few will speak up. Southern Downs Councillor Andrew Gale said he hopes that by telling his story he can, at least in some small way, help to change that. In late April to early May, Cr Gale spent two weeks at a hospital in Toowoomba receiving treatment for a mental health condition. During that time, he participated in an ordinary council meeting via video link. Cr Gale said the decision to participate was completely his own and was approved by his treating doctors and Southern Downs Mayor Vic Pennisi. “The opportunity was there for me to participate in the meeting and Zoom in, so I took that opportunity to do that because I take my position seriously,” he said. “I think 2020 and 2021 have shown us that people can remotely work for all sorts of reasons and it’s legal for me to be able to do that. “Two weeks is a long time to sit in a hospital room.” Cr Gale said the medication he had been taking for his mental health condition was changed in late April and he needed to be monitored in a hospital for a short time afterward. He said he had been taking antidepressants for the last 15 years or so, since he left the police force in 2005, and felt it was important to speak up about his journey. A police officer for almost 20 years, Cr Gale said what he witnessed on the front line almost broke him. “I didn’t know that it was okay to have that empathy,” he said. “And finally the jug just gets so full that you can’t contain it.” Cr Gale said he attempted to take his own

life and descended into a “spiral of self-destruction”. “It’s an absolutely awful way to go through life and it’s an awful thing to subject your family to, to (have them) watch you go through this process as well,” he said. He said he became “anxious about feeling anxious” and struggled living with the fear and shame of others discovering he had depression. Ultimately, it was that fear and shame that compelled him to try and break the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. “I’m not afraid of being afraid anymore, and I’m not afraid of speaking out,” Cr Gale said. “And I’m honoured that the community has selected me to represent them in my role with (the) council. I’ll always speak out, whenever I’m given the opportunity, to let people know that it’s okay not to be okay sometimes.” He said it was important people understood help is out there, and there is no shame in asking for it. “Even if it’s going to see the Men’s Shed, ringing me up and having a chat, (or) ringing someone else up that you know,” he said. “It’s just part of life.

Skid marks stain road By Jess Baker Residents of Warwick’s Glen Road awoke on Wednesday 23 June to a familiar but disappointing scene – burnout tyre marks blackened the roadway, bins were knocked over, and rubbish was strewn across the pavement. Glen Road resident Annie Green said her husband had put out the bins for kerbside collection late Tuesday evening and neither of them had heard or seen anything unusual, until the next morning. “He was up at about 6am (Wednesday) morning and he noticed it had been knocked over,” Annie said. “Luckily it was the recycle bin so he put all the stuff back in it, not too much damage … but then you sort of worry … if the car gets out of control will it be in one of our bedrooms?” Annie said she often hears cars hooning around on Glen Road and black skid marks have long been a feature of the street. “It’s just stupid. Especially when it’s a family area … you just worry about the safety,” she said. “It’s supposed to be a 60 kilometre (per hour) zone, but (it’s) not very often people do 60 kilometres.” A local resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said he was heading into town on Wednesday morning when he stopped to help a resident clean up their spilled rubbish. He said there has been “skidding behaviour” along Glen Road for some time, but it seemed to just be getting worse. “You could have a fatality,” he said. Warwick police acting officer-in-charge

Residents of the road awoke this week to find their bins knocked over and their rubbish strewn. Shane Reid said hooning was, and continues to be, a significant problem. “I think there’s a group of hoons – some of whom we are aware of and have successfully prosecuted in the recent months – but there are also other members of the group who continue to conduct this behaviour,” acting Senior Sergeant Reid said. “But we can’t be everywhere 24/7 and we just ask that the public provide information when it’s happening so that we can respond.” Warwick police asked that at any time people notice groups of cars congregating in an area or conducting “hooning-type activity” such as burnouts or street racing, they contact Policelink on 131 444 and immediately report the behaviour.

The stretch of Glen Road between Newby and Diery streets is particularly tainted. Pictures: JESS BAKER

How Much will Emu Swamp Dam Cost You, Ratepayer? The latest Southern Downs Regional Council annual budget includes a $3,500,000 investment into the Emu Swamp Dam, and the annual cost, even if Council don’t use the water, is $238,860!

Hang On A Minute! Previous expert reports commissioned and paid for by SDRC recommended long-term options that represent better value for money than Emu Swamp Dam. There is no reason why a better alternative - such as the Stanthorpe-Warwick pipeline, off-stream storage or other water supply and storage options - could not be fully or partly State Government funded. Mayor Pennisi was quoted in the Southern Free Times on 23/12/2020 as stating that Emu Swamp Dam would not be a “long-term solution” to water security in the region.

What Can You Do? Contact the Mayor and Councillors and ask them to be open and transparent about the impact this investment will have on council rates, and to commit to holding public information sessions in both Warwick and Stanthorpe about the dam and the real risk to Council and ratepayers.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recognises the significant challenges that continue to face the Australian community this year. Many Australians have received different income, such as support payments, or have lost records due to natural disasters. The ATO is working to make tax time easier. Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh has moved to reassure taxpayers that no matter their circumstances, the ATO has a range of information and support options to make tax easy. “Whether you’ve received JobKeeper, JobSeeker, COVID support or disaster assistance payments, accessed your super early, or had your records damaged, destroyed or lost, the ATO is here to give you the tools you need to get it right this tax time,” Mr Loh said. Tax treatment of different payments JobKeeper JobKeeper payments received as an employee will be included in your income statement as either salary and wages or as an allowance. “If you’ve received JobKeeper payments from your employer, you don’t need to do anything different. We will automatically include this information from your income statement in your online tax return for you,” Mr Loh said. “Your income statement can be accessed in ATO online services through your myGov account and should be finalised by 14 July. If you use a tax agent, they also have access to this information.” Sole traders who have received JobKeeper payment on behalf of their business will need to include the payment as assessable income for the business. JobSeeker Mr Loh said If you have received JobSeeker payments, this information will also be included in your tax return at the Government Payments and Allowances question once it’s ready. If you are lodging before this information is there, you will need to add it yourself. Leaving out income will slow your return. Stand down payments “You may have received a one-off or regular payment from your employer after being temporarily stood down due to COVID-19. These payments are taxable and should appear in your income statement and will be automatically included in your return,” Mr Loh said. “If you aren’t sure whether these amounts have been included in your income statement, check with your employer.” COVID-19 disaster payment for people affected by restrictions The Australian Government (through Services Australia) COVID-19 disaster payment for people affected by restrictions is taxable. “When lodging your return, you must ensure you include this income,” Mr Loh said. Tax treatment of other assistance The tax treatment of assistance payments can vary; the ATO website outlines how a range of disaster payments impact your return. The ATO website also includes guidance on COVID payments, including the taxable pan-

demic leave disaster payment. Early access to superannuation “If you accessed your super early under the special arrangements due to COVID-19, you do not need to declare this in your tax return. Any eligible amounts withdrawn under this program are tax-free,” Mr Loh said. Lost, damaged or destroyed tax records “We know that many taxpayers are facing lasting impacts left in the wake of natural disasters. If you find your records have been lost or destroyed, whether in cyclones, floods or bushfires, we are here to help,” Mr Loh said. “If you have a myGov account linked to the ATO, you’ll be able to view some of your records, including income tax returns, income statements and previous notices of assessments. If you lodge through a registered tax agent, they can also access these documents on your behalf.” “Government agencies, private health funds, financial institutions and businesses provide information to the ATO which is available to your tax agents and automatically included in returns by the end of July. If you’ve lost receipts, we can accept reasonable claims without evidence, so long as it’s not reasonably possible to access the original documents. You may be required to tell us how you calculated the claim. It is important to note this is not our general approach, but it can apply if your documents were destroyed in a natural disaster.” Other ATO support “We understand that unexpected life events can make it hard to pay your tax,” Mr Loh said. “Even if you can’t pay, it’s still important to lodge on time. Once you lodge and have up-todate records, we can help you understand your tax position and find the best support for you. “If you can’t pay your tax bill in full, the best thing to do is get in touch. It’s never too late to ask for help.” “We can work with you to tailor a payment plan to your circumstances. In most cases, taxpayers are able to set up their own payment plan online depending on how much they owe. “Support is also available to all registered tax agents at any time, and we are working hard to ensure that this help is tailored and personalised. Agents that need assistance for any reason, are encouraged to reach out to us as soon as possible. More information Taxpayers and their registered tax agents impacted by COVID-19, natural disasters, or financial hardship can access support at ato. gov.au/disasters Information about reconstructing your tax records is available at ato.gov.au/Reconstructing-your-tax-records Information about support to lodge and pay is available at ato.gov.au/supporttolodgeandpay Support services for tax professionals, including requests for deferrals, at ato.gov.au/ TPSupport

Prepare to finalise tax It is nearly time to make a finalisation declaration for Single Touch Payroll. And according to Rebecca Balfour of REM Business Solutions there is no need to issue payment summaries to employees you have reported through STP. “Employers must complete the finalisation declaration by 14 July,” she said. “The extended due date that small employers had last year no longer applies. Employers with a mixture of employees and closely held payees have until 30 September 2021 to make the declaration. “Small employers (fewer than 19 employees) that only pay closely held payees have until the payee’s income tax return due date. “Employers will need to liaise with the individual payee about the exact tax return due date. You may have some payees who have not been reported through STP, so you still need to issue a payment summary for anyone not reported through STP. You will also need to submit a payment summary annual report (PSAR) for any payments outside the STP system. “Once the STP finalisation has been sent to the ATO, the employee’s information will be released in their myGov account and listed as ‘tax ready’.” STP Payroll Checklist Be efficient and prepare as much as you can now so that you are able to finalise your data by 14 July.

thorised contact person are correct in your software. You should already have necessary details for all employees, both current and any who have terminated throughout the year if you are using STP. The essential information is full name, date of birth, address, and tax file number. Review any terminated employees. Is the correct termination date recorded in your software? Are Employment Termination Payments (ETPs) coded correctly? Review salary sacrifice payments to superannuation for Reportable Employer Superannuation Contributions (RESC) amounts. Check with us for any Reportable Fringe Benefit Tax (RFBT) amounts that should be included. Check that all payroll categories are assigned to the correct ATO reporting category. This includes all ordinary earnings, loadings and penalties, allowances, commissions, bonuses, leave payments and termination payments. You may have other unusual payments such as those made under a voluntary agreement for contractors or labour-hire arrangements—check that you have reported them correctly.

According to Rebecca It is important to verify payroll figures before finalising, in order to minimise the chance of errors and having to re-issue at a later date. “Once the payroll year is completed at 30 June, you can then analyse the payroll amounts for each employee and cross-check against the numbers in your profit and loss accounts,” she said. “Talk to us today if you would like us to make the STP end of year process easier by reviewing and validating your payroll figures prior to finalising the data and lodging with the ATO. The end of the payroll year will be here sooner than you think!” Please call us on 07 46615593 for an obligation free consultation to discuss your bookkeeping requirements.

ATO advises what to claim in a Covid world high claims this tax time. Particularly where someone’s deductions are much higher than others with a similar job and income. “We will also look closely at anyone with significant working from home expenses, that maintains or increases their claims for things like car, travel or clothing expenses. “You can’t simply copy and paste previous year’s claims without evidence. “But we know some of these unusual claims may be legitimate. So, if you explain your claim with evidence, you have nothing to fear. “We also want to reassure the community that we will be sympathetic to legitimate mistakes where good faith efforts have been made. However, where we spot people deliberately claiming things they’re not entitled to, we will take firm action.” During 2020, the ATO had to shift focus on getting stimulus benefits out the door as quickly as possible to support so many businesses in need. He said in 2021, they will be continuing to balance their role in supporting taxpayers through this very-challenging time, while recommencing their focus on addressing overclaiming of work-related expenses. How COVID-19 has changed work-related expenses

Working from home expenses The temporary shortcut method for working from home expenses is available for the full 2020-21 financial year. This allows an allinclusive rate of 80 cents per hour for every hour people work from home, rather than needing to separately calculate costs for specific expenses. All taxpayers need to do is multiply the hours worked at home by 80 cents, keeping a record such as a timesheet, roster or diary entry that shows the hours worked. Remember – the shortcut method is temporary. If taxpayers want to claim part of an expense over $300 (such as a desk or computer) in future years, they need to keep their receipt. Personal protective equipment (PPE) If a taxpayers specific duties required physical contact or close proximity to customers or clients, or the job involved cleaning premises, they may be able to claim items such as gloves, face masks, sanitiser, or anti-bacterial spray. This includes industries like healthcare, cleaning, aviation, hair and beauty, retail and hospitality. To claim PPE, they’ll need to have purchased the item for use at work, paid for it

themself, and not been reimbursed. They will also need a record to support their claim – a receipt is best. Clothing and laundry, self-education, car and travel expenses In 2020, the ATO saw a decrease in the value of work-related expenses for cars, travel, non-PPE clothing and self-education as a result of the introduction of travel restrictions and limits on the number of people who could gather in groups. They expect this trend to continue in the 2021 tax returns. If an employee is working from home due to COVID-19, but needs to travel to their regular office sometimes, they cannot claim the cost of travel from home to work as these are still private expenses. Additional information To help people find out what they can and can’t claim, they ATO has created nearly 40 occupation and industry guides. This year they’ve added three new guides for gaming attendants, community support workers and recruitment consultants. Visit ato.gov.au/occupations. To work out claims for items over $300, the ATO has created a depreciation tool as well as a ‘how to’ video: ato.gov.au/DepreciationTool.

12501472-NG27-21

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is alerting taxpayers that its sights are set on workrelated expenses like car and travel claims that are predicted to decrease in this year’s tax returns. Overall, around 8.5 million Australians claimed nearly $19.4 billion in work-related expenses in their 2020 tax returns. Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh said that COVID-19 has changed up people’s work habits, so the ATO expect their work-related expenses will reflect this. “We know many people started working from home during COVID-19, so a jump in these claims is expected,” Mr Loh said. “But, if you are working at home, we would not expect to see claims for travelling between worksites, laundering uniforms or business trips.” Last year, the value of car and travel expenses decreased by nearly 5.5 per cent. However, there was a slight increase of around 2.6% in clothing expenses. With uniform and laundry claims significantly lower, this increase was driven by frontline workers’ first-time need for things like hand sanitiser and face masks. “While it’s good to see most people have been doing the right thing, our data analytics will be on the lookout for unusually

PRAISE IRISH BRAISE

IS HERE

Hello everybody. There is only one word for this week’s recipe.. Ugly! In fact, by looking at the photos of my food it’s probably become glaringly obvious that I’m not particularly skilled at what is termed ’plating up’! They say that you eat with your eyes...but whoever ’they’ are has obviously never felt the absolute disappointment of receiving a beautiful looking plate of food, only to find it tasteless or even down right disgusting after the first bite.

Make sure your system doesn’t give you the cold shoulder

Eyes don’t have taste buds. Only your mouth can give you that feeling of bliss that comes from delicious food. Not to mention the aroma as said food is cooking. Today’s recipe gives bucketloads of both aroma and flavour in a simple comforting bowl of winter warmth. If you can make it the day before and reheat in a moderate oven it will be even better! Let’s cook!

Ingredients

· 1.5kg Chuck Steak · 2 tablespoons Oil · 3 rashers Bacon, chopped · 2 large Carrots, peeled & sliced · 8 small Onions, peeled & halved · 200g Button Mushrooms · 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme · 2 tablespoons Plain Flour · 3/4 cup Dry White Wine · 3/4 cup Beef Stock · Salt & Pepper

Let us take care of your heating needs BEFORE the winter freeze.

FOR ALL YOUR HEATING AND COOLING NEEDS

METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 175° 2. Trim the meat and cut into 3cm cubes. 3. Heat the oil in a heavy based pan. Cook the meat in batches until well browned. Drain on paper towel. 4. Add the bacon to the pan and cook till brown. 5. Place the meat and bacon in a casserole dish with the carrots, onions, mushrooms and thyme. 6. Blend the flour with the wine and stock. 7. Pour into the pan the meat was cooked in and stir over low heat to remove all the brown bits off the pan. Bring it to the boil and then pour it into the casserole dish and stir... (you can just pour into the casserole dish without doing this step, but I like to

get all the flavour out of that pan!) 8. Cover and bake for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. 9. Serve with rice or mash. TIPS AND TRICKS If you detest peeling tiny onions (I do!) just use a couple of medium ones sliced up. I couldn’t find little button mushrooms so just quartered larger cup mushrooms. I’ve also used the big flat field mushrooms chopped up. You can really use any stewing steak for this, gravy beef, blade steak etc. Just check that it is pulling apart after the cooking time. Gravy beef seems to take a bit longer but is really tasty in this dish. Enjoy cooking, keep warm and safe! See you next week.

Volunteers make this festival happen By Jumpers and Jazz in July

Federal Maranoa MP David Littleproud has retained his Agriculture portfolio despite Sunday’s reshuffle.

Minister in By Jess Baker Deputy Nationals leader David Littleproud has kept his job despite last week’s leadership spill that saw Barnaby Joyce return to high office. Newly reinstated Nationals leader Mr Joyce reshuffled the cabinet over the weekend, promoting some and bumping others. Member for Maranoa David Littleproud was safe under the reshuffle, and will remain Agriculture Minister. He will also gain the portfolio of Northern Australia, which was previously held by Member for Hinkler Keith Pitt. Mr Littleproud has however lost his duties for drought and emergency management to Senator Bridget McKenzie, who will also take over Regional Education, Regional Communication, and Regionalisation. “To serve as a Minister in Government is an honour,” Mr Littleproud shared on Facebook. “I’m looking forward to working closer on

the growth and development of Northern Australia.” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in a statement that Mr Littleproud “has been the driving force behind securing a strong and competitive future for our agricultural sector”. Mr Morrison said it was likely the new Ministers would be sworn into their roles on Friday 2 July. “The Liberal-National Coalition has been a successful and enduring partnership for seven decades,” he said. “The Deputy Prime Minister and I will continue this strong partnership, one based on shared values and a shared vision for building an even stronger Australia. “Our focus remains on two outcomes – protecting lives and protecting livelihoods, as we continue to combat Covid-19 and build on the economic recovery that has led to the creation of almost one million jobs since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Jumpers and Jazz in July organisers are once again putting the call out for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to share the load and ‘make the Festival happen’ 15 to 25 July. Volunteer coordinator Karen Gilchrist is keen to hear from men, women, young people, clubs and even families who may wish to put their hands for even an hour or two, or whole days if they can, to ensure the festival operates smoothly, efficiently, and with vibe – as it has done in the past. “We are very thankful for past volunteers who have really shone with their commitment, whether with warm visitor greetings, or assisting to set up and pull down for events. This year, we have some new opportunities, including being on roster at our “Festival Hub” in Grafton Street, which will serve as both an organisers’ work centre, and as the friendly face to visitors offering Festival merchandise, assistance with event search, and location maps. We need these volunteers asap so we can officially open in the near future. We will also have in place for the first time a simple funnelling process for visitors at all entry points each day of the festival – where friendly volunteers will assist with the Covid-19 QR check-in, and give out wrist bands for check-in confirmation. We aim for this to be a trouble-free process, which will allow all festival attendees to enjoy the freedom and vibe of the street which our festival is renowned for. Efficient early morning set ups for events and pull downs post-events are essential for an enjoyable experience by local com-

Many hands make light work – and the jobs go so much faster.

Forms are available on the Festival website www.jumpersandjazz.com.au/volunteer as both online and printable forms.

Plague actions reported By Dominique Tassell The Pest Management Advisory Committee minutes were passed at last week’s Southern Downs Regional Council meeting, providing an update on the region’s pest management situation. The committee provided updates on grant projects such as the deer project, which will publish its final report on 30 June 2021. The exclusion fencing project has now reached their five per cent construction milestone, which three EOI exclusion fencing projects completed and a completion date of 30 June 2021 “looking very likely”. The current cats project underway was delayed due to COVID-19 impacting the supply of CERES tags, which are now expected to arrive in late June 2021. A survey seeking feedback from the Southern Downs community on the impact of cats in our region has concluded and will be pub-

Mayor Vic Pennisi will bring the impacts of the current mice plague on the Southern Downs Region to the attention of the Darling Downs South West Council of Mayors. lished in full shortly. Key findings have been released, including very high community support for de-sexing and microchipping domestic cats. These received 88 and 89 percent approval respectively.

Two thirds of respondents supported domestic cats being registered, while almost 80 per cent of respondents would support a limit of the number of domestic cats allowed at a single residence. Almost three quarters of respondents would support a fine for straying cats. A number of private landholders have been in contact with USQ and are willing to have cats trapped on their property, which will commence mid-July. A project to track wild dogs in the region is scheduled to commence in late July in conjunction with the feral cat project. Council also reported that their officers and contractors have completed works destroying 20 rabbit warren systems with 90 openings at RAMS Park and the adjoining laneways and road reserves at Wallangarra. Following two major rain events, 20 floodways along the Stanthorpe dingo spur fence line have suffered considerable damage in-

cluding some being completely knocked down. The majority of the floodways have now repaired. Some floodways have only been temporarily fixed but are stock and dog proof and will be attended to once access and water levels allow it. Replacement work has commenced on a 1.5km section of the fence between Nundubbermere Road and Fall Road in Nundubbermere. Work commenced on 21 May 2021. Replacement of a section of the Killarney dingo spur fence is almost completed, with rain causing more damage and hampering construction efforts. SDRC last week passed a motion calling for Mayor Vic Pennisi to bring the impacts of the current mice plague on the Southern Downs Region to the attention of the Darling Downs South West Council of Mayors, and discuss a path forward with addressing the plague.

WIRAC is attempting a Guiness World Record for the largest Jazzercise class during the Jumpers and Jazz festival.

WIRAC’s main pool hall is closed for five weeks.

WIRAC updates include more parking for disabled By Dominique Tassell Updates to the YMCA have this month included the construction of addition disabled car parking spaces. In a Southern Downs Regional Council meeting, Councillor Andrew Gale stated he “was very pleased to note that council staff yesterday were doing the concreting work on the footpath and upgrading the second disabled car park out the front immediately adjacent to south of the existing one”. Councillor Gale stated the disabled car park spaces had been a topic of discussion around the council table before, and noted

that perhaps it was Councillor Jo McNally who had raised it in the past. “I’m pleased to see the progress there on the group fitness room but I’m also pleased to see that addition disabled car parking space was going in, being concreted,” he stated. YMCA’s Warwick Indoor Recreation & Aquatic Centre (WIRAC) presented an update on their activities and upgrades at last week’s council meeting. Updates underway include those on the main pool hall, which will close for 5 weeks starting on June 28. Some memberships will need to be suspended as a result during this time.

The new group fitness room is expected to be completed on June 30. The reception and office area will then move temporarily into this room while work is done on those rooms. The new group fitness room will be the temporary entrance area to WIRAC for approximately 10-12 weeks while that work is underway. WIRAC confirmed in their report that staff are currently training to use Boga Boards in preparation for the class launch on August 7. Preparations are underway for the Jazz n’ Champions in the Park Spectacular. Running during the Jumpers and Jazz festival, the event includes attempting to beat the Guin-

ness World Record for the largest Jazzercise class. The event will also have a ninja warrior course, jumping castle, activities for children, as well as food vans and a band. Kids can get a taste of ninja warrior for children by trying out the ninja warrior course, which the centre now offers. WIRAC representatives say this activity was “quite popular during the last school holidays”. The motion was moved by Councillor Gale and seconded by Councillor Cynthia McDonald.

Q&A

with Tori Demamiel

This week’s Q&A subject is TORI DEMAMIEL - one of the owners of First National Real Estate. Thank you for your time and insight Tori! If you could spend 24 hours anywhere, any year, where would you choose? A little island with lots of sunshine and hot weather. What’s something people may not know about you? Most people probably don’t know that I actually come from a big family- I am the oldest of 8 kids and I wouldn’t change it for anything. How do you relax after a long day? I like to relax by going for a walk around the river or sitting out in the sun listening to music. What are you most grateful for? As cliche as it sounds I am without a doubt most grateful for all the people in my life. Since buying First National I have been surrounded by so many supportive people and I am so grateful. What would your last meal on earth be? That is tricky, I love food- I think I would choose a good steak and veg. What does your dream home look like? Simple! I don’t like clutter, my dream home would be simplistic and modern. What are you currently reading and what’s the best book you’ve read? Mmmm I don’t really read a lot, but I am always keeping up to date on everything real estate and reading the newest real estate trends etc. What is your favourite sport in our region? I only watch motorsport, Formula 1 is my favourite motorsport to watch. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Pretty much everyone is looking for a way to save a few extra bucks, and it doesn’t have to be as extreme as cutting up your credit cards or freezing them à la Confessions of a Shopaholic. Here are three easy ways to save money.

Which six guests, dead or alive, would be invited to your ultimate dinner party? Trump, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Cleopatra, Freddie Mercury, and Heath Ledger.

What is your favourite movie? My Favourite movie is 10 Things I Hate About You, which is why Heath Ledger would be invited to dinner.

Use Facebook Marketplace If you’re in need of new furniture, Facebook Marketplace is the place to look. You can find beautiful pieces without the huge price tag, and get your home looking like you spent way more on its interiors than you really did.

Go op shopping There’s a reason op shopping is such a huge trend. You can find pretty much anything secondhand, including things like books and small homewares. For bigger items, many op shops will even deliver if you ask nicely.

TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

TASKMASTER SBS VICELAND, 9.20pm

SATURDAY

THE DURRELLS ABC TV, 7.30pm

Based on the autobiographical novels of conservationist Gerald Durrell, this adorable serie is a sunny, lighthearted escape that courts its viewers to laugh out loud and marvel at the wonders of nature – and family life. Now in the third season, Keeley Hawes (The Bodyguard, left) is a delight as widowed Louisa Durrell, who moved to the idyllic Greek island of Corfu with her clan. Tonight, when Aunt Hermione (Barbara Flynn) dies suddenly, Louisa has to accompany her body back to England.

FRIDAY

MOVIN’ TO THE COUNTRY ABC TV, 7.30pm

SATURDAY Amazingly, one in ﬁve city-dwelling Aussies are dreaming about packing up and moving to the country. And if we aren’t one of those folks who are planning on moving to the regions in the next 12 months, we watch shows such as Escape from the City like it is a national sport. Now, we can add this new six-part series, premiering tonight, to the watchlist. Hosts Craig Quartermaine, Kristy O’Brien (above) and Halina Baczkowski travel to a region to learn three stories about creating a successful life in the country. Tonight, Quartermaine visits Orana, NSW, and meets two lawyers who left the city to run a national legal enterprise – and invent a new species of cow.

CASABLANCA SEVEN, 2pm

Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Rick’s Café, “Of all the gin joints …”, Nazis, visas, a singer named Sam. Apparently, all these things add up to the best ﬁlm of all time. They might be right. In a nutshell, Rick (Bogart) is a jaded nightclub owner in Casablanca, a town that plays host to various World War II refugees looking for a better life in the US. He discovers an old ﬂame (Bergman) is in town with her new resistance leader husband, both on the run from the Nazis. Outstanding cinema from the classic era of Hollywood when audiences were actually considered to be intelligent.

What could go wrong when five comedians compete in an off-the-wall game show? Well, as it turns out, nothing. Everything goes spectacularly, hilariously well in Taskmaster. A huge success in Britain, the panel show panel boasting some very batty banter has since spawned offshoots in Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Finland and New Zealand. Hosted by Greg Davies (below) and Alex Horne, it’s the sort of show that can make Monday a joyous affair. Tonight, settle in for a raucous double episode. In “This Is Trevor”, The Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas grapples with awkward hand-wear. Then, in “Aquatic Sewing Machine”, coffee pots aren’t his friend.

Greg Davies is the host of Taskmaster.

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Local writer and journalist – and songwriter and musician – BOB WILSON shares his latest ‘Observations’ column, titled Homeless or ‘Houseless’.

Homeless or houseless I felt obliged to write about the vexed topic of homelessness after witnessing people sleeping rough in Queensland’s small towns. It shouldn’t happen, but it does. The stereotype of a homeless person is the hobo asleep in the doorway of a city store, worldly goods in two carrier bags as a pillow. The reality is closer to an unhappy teenager, couch surfing with friends; or a 60+ woman in a van on her own; or Mum and two kids living in their car in a small town where they are less likely to be hassled. She’s cooking stew on a two-ring propane stove at the local park while using a public power point to charge her mobile. The kids are running about, being kids. The official data (at the last Census in 2016), confirmed there were 116,000 people in Australia who were defined as homeless. However, the Australian Homelessness Monitor 2020 estimated the numbers had climbed to 290,000 by the close of 2018-2019 - that’s one in 86 people. Queensland has big challenges when it comes to helping the homeless. The state is so physically large (1.835 million square kilometres) that social workers can sometimes rack up a 1,300 km round trip just to see one client. As we reached the Winter Solstice this week, I reflected again on the Academy Award winning movie, Nomadland. We saw this in Warwick, emerging into a chilly early evening afterwards to comment: “Better get home and light a fire.” Nomadland, if you have not seen it, focuses on a 61-year-old widow, Fern, who has joined the legions of people known in the US as vandwellers. Fern has been hit by a quadruple whammy: husband dies, factory closes, job goes, town is abandoned. Left with a house she cannot sell, Fern hits the road in a beat-up van she has modified for her own purposes.

Bob Wilson. In Australia she’d be known as a Grey Nomad, although, as in the US, there are two distinct classes of traveller. First there are the well-to-do nomads, able to afford a big road rig with all the trimmings. Most often they are self-funded retirees, letting their hair down after a lifetime working. The other type of nomad, perhaps like those portrayed in Nomadland, live permanently on

the road, in whatever style of motor-home or caravan they can afford. Like Fern, these people do not regard themselves as homeless (so are therefore not a statistic). They favour free camps, recreation reserves and roadside rest areas where local governments have sanctioned overnight stays. Some just pull off into the bush, far enough away that they cannot be seen from the road. In Australia, free camps will usually have a toilet; some may have a shower and a few have electricity. Fees range from nothing to $10 or $15 a night, the latter usually only applying to camps that have power and showers. In Nomadland, Fern lives permanently with these restrictions and more. In one scene she is tucked away in her camper van at night eating a pizza when a man creeps up and peers through the van window. Then he hammers on the door. “You can’t park here!” “I’m leaving, I’m leaving.” In Australia, our version of van-dwellers gather together in large numbers at the better known “free” camps. They also favour the physical space and lack of bureaucracy found at local showgrounds. Many small town showgrounds charge between $15 and $20 a night, less if not using power. It is often an honour system, with no way of knowing how many people came in after dark and left before dawn. It’s probably impossible to establish how many Grey Nomads live permanently in their vans and own no real estate. They’re not homeless as long as the money holds out and the vehicle does not break down. As Fern explains to someone who is sympathetic to her plight “I’m not homeless - I’m houseless.” According to Tourism Research Australia, about 2.6 million Grey Nomad trips were tak-

en by 55 to 70-year-old domestic travellers in 2019. This was up 12 percent on the previous year. In a submission to the Inquiry into Homelessness in Australia, the Queensland Government stated that in 2018-19 , one in 116 people in the state received homelessness assistance. Homelessness in Queensland is driven in part by housing affordability pressures, increased cost of living, stalling wages growth and welfare payments that don’t keep pace with the cost of living. The majority of the 43,000 people seeking Special Homelessness Services (SHS) were spread among Brisbane, Townsville, Cairns and seven regional centres. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders accounted for 33 percent (14,432) of all those seeking SHS (40 percent men and 60 percent women). The largest cohorts seeking help were people fleeing domestic and family violence (31 percent), people with mental health issues (27 percent) and young people aged 15-24 (20 percent). I always had this somewhat romantic notion that being homeless and sleeping rough in tropical Queensland might not be such a hardship. I said as much in the lyrics of my song Big Country Town: “We caught the ferry back to Main Street, there’s fellas sleeping in the park, beneath the blanket of the summer, they’re safe and warm there in the dark.” Well, maybe in the height of summer, but on this caravan trip, we shivered through a few single figure nights. So if this cold snap makes you think about people who either don’t have a roof over their head or can’t afford heating, try donating useful items like blankets, warm clothing and (new) underwear and socks to local charities. Better still, ask them what they need. Bob’s blog Friday on My Mind is published online at bobwords.com.au.

Two grants for QCWA By Jess Baker The Broadwater branch of the Queensland Country Women’s Association gathered last week to celebrate funding for essential maintenance works the best way they knew how – with a Devonshire morning tea. President Sue Boyce said the branch received two grants from Southern Downs Regional Council and the Australian government, which allowed members to purchase a tank, a cement slab and a pressure pump for their hall in Broadwater. The funding also allowed for restumping

of the hall, as well as new guttering, and new iron. “These were greatly appreciated by our branch,” said Sue. “These country halls need a lot of maintenance to keep them in use for the community.” In acknowledgement of the federal and local funding, the QCWA Broadwater branch hosted a Devonshire morning tea on Tuesday 22 June. Sue said the day was a “huge success”. Guests enjoyed freshly made scones and pikelets, tea and coffee, and great company.

It was snacks and cuddles galore at the Warwick Community Kindergarten on Sunday 20 June, as children, parents and staff took part in an annual teddy bear picnic. The kindergarten’s nominated supervisor Kathryn McConville said it was lovely to once again host children and their families for the day. “This is a fun social event for the whole kindy to come together,” Kathryn said. “The teddy bears picnic is enjoyed by younger siblings who get the chance to stay for a play and also the older siblings who love to come back to kindy for a play.” Kathryn said the Warwick Community Kindergarten has limited spaces available for 2021 and beyond, so those interested in registering their children are encouraged to contact the office on (07) 4661 2138 and arrange a tour.

Gordon joins Carinity Cedarbrook centenarian club Gordon Jamieson was born in Amiens in the Granite Belt Soldier Settlement area in 1921. His birthplace was named after a first World War 1 battleground, but it was another war that would change his life. Gordon, who celebrated his 100th birthday in June, lives at the Carinity Cedarbrook aged care community at Mudgeeraba and is one of last surviving Queenslanders who labored on the infamous Thai-Burma railway during World War II. Born on 14 June 1921 at Amiens, Gordon’s family moved to nearby Stanthorpe and then to Brisbane. When World War II broke out, he put his age up and joined the army “to go on an adventure”, fighting in the Malayan campaign. Following Japan’s capture of Singapore in 1942, he became a prisoner of war according to his daughter Paula Neill. “He was captured and spent almost four years as a prisoner of war with his parents not knowing if he was dead or alive for many of those years,” Paula explained. Gordon was held in Changi prison and was forced to work up to 18 hours a day on construction of the infamous Thai-Burma Railway. “He was one of the lucky ones that survived which he put down to the comradeship of his fellow prisoners that he kept in touch with all those years after the war,” Paula says. Upon his return to Queensland, he bought a cafe and later worked in a chicken abattoir and owned welding and tractor businesses. Gordon’s sister introduced him to his future wife, Shirley. They had two children together and adopted another daughter. The Jamiesons were members of the anti-

Gordon and wife Shirley. conscription movement during the Vietnam War. Gordon travelled to Thailand and Japan to take part in commemorative ceremonies honouring prisoners of war, and lobbied the Australian and Japanese Governments for reparations for prisoners of war. “My wartime experiences convinced me of the futility of war. The memories of my war are not those of victorious battles or ignominious defeat, but of the human spirit of our Australian soldiers,” Gordon wrote. Gordon survived another battle in the 1970s according to Paula “He ended up in intensive care for three months due to an ongoing problem he got during the war and eventually manifested itself. He nearly died but being the fighter that he is he pulled through,” Paula explained. Around 50 of Gordon’s family members, some from as far away as Townsville, attended his 100th birthday party at Robina. Also in attendance were some of his five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

The snow must go on By Tania Phillps The Snow must go on – despite the current Covid dramas unfolding in hotspots in Brisbane and other places Snowflakes in Stanthorpe Winter Festival is all set to bring family fun to the July School holidays. Event media Co-ordinator Robyn Henderson said it was set to be a huge three days. “We are looking forward to it and are full steam ahead at this stage,” she said late Monday. Organisers were monitoring the situation and would go to mandatory masks if that came into force. Careful planning and unprecedented demand have come together to ensure that the Snowflakes in Stanthorpe Winter Festival is COVID safe and is set to bring thousands of snow seekers to Stanthorpe during school holidays. From Friday through to Sunday afternoon at 2pm, the three-day festival is a family-friendly celebration that perfectly complements the high altitude, cool climate that Stanthorpe is so famous for. The huge outdoor snowfield and the 90-person iceskating rink are two of the feature attractions at Snowflakes. In fact according to Robyn, the skate rink is already up and set to take it’s first keen skaters on Thursday. “We are having a Blue Light Disco on Thursday night with the local police and on Friday morning we start iceskating.” “It’s one of the highlights, it’s fantastic and we start around 9am on Friday morning. Friday is a great day to skate because there won’t be the crowds on Friday. So there is no entry cost into the showgrounds on Friday. There is

The environmentally friendly synthetic skate rink is up and all ready for Thursday night and Friday morning. just an entry to the rink because everything is down in the main street on the opening day. “You have to pay to get into the rink but there is no entry fee to the showgrounds like there will be on Saturday and Sunday when you can join in all the other free activities that are there.” She said there will be skate hire for the rink

which is artificial and not ice for the first time. “Skate hire is included so it’s $15 for a 25 minute session – that includes the skates and probably around 60 people at a time will get to go onto the iceskating rink,” Robyn admitted. “It’s a brand new rink this year, it’s a synthetic rink, instead of an icy rink. We felt that in this town we needed an environmentally friendly

rink that wasn’t using water because we have had so many years of drought and this is a great option. Our experts who have skated on the rink have said it’s a great feel and the kids that are going to come are going to love it. If you’re an expert speedskater who was in the Olympics, its probably going to be a little slow for you but for everybody else, for the kids and the families coming along it’s going to be fantastic.”

Fun for the whole family By Tania Phillips There is something for everyone at this year’s three-day Stanthorpe Snowflakes Festival including a few brand new events. On Friday there will be plenty of pavement games to enjoy in the main street while during the weekend down at the showground there will be a chance to make Snow Volcanoes. “The kids get a couple of kilos of ice to form into a volcano, they get some vinegar, some bicarb soda – it’s a bit of fun, they get a bit of a chemical reaction going and they get to make their own snow volcano during the day,” event spokesperson Robyn Henderson said. “The Girl Guides are looking after that event for us. “One of the really good fun events – and these are all free for the kids – is igloo building. There are lots of polystyrene blocks. It’s in the marquee this time and you can go in there and just go build igloos. It’s safe fun, family friendly – little kids, big kids. They all get to play and build with these really light fluffy blocks. “There’s facepainting, there’s jumping castles, there’s giant snow globes and you can take a picture inside the giant globe. Our Yowie is going to be there, he’s going to be on the iceskating rink, in his igloo. “There are plenty of places where families can make memories and I think that is a really great thing. It’s completely family friendly, lots of opportunities to take photos of the family doing fun things and we really do encourage that. There are lots of events around but this one is for kids and for families to have a great time. For that low price of entry to the Showgrounds, most of those activities are free.” She said the snowfields will once again also be a drawcard on both days at the showground.

Roasting chestnuts - it’s winter in Stanthorpe.

Family fun at Stanthorpe.

“The snowmakers don’t start making the snow until 3am on Saturday morning so there is no snow on Friday,” Robyn explains. “I think we have a few bubbles on Friday in the main street for a little bit of fun but the snow field doesn’t start until 3am in the morning and will be topped up throughout Saturday and Sunday. “Sunday is a great day to go. Even though it finishes at 2pm – as a shorter day – pretty much everything that will be there on Saturday will be there on Sunday. The only thing that isn’t there is the wine tent but instead we have the vintage car display on Sunday. “Sunday is a fantastic day – less people but

the same activities. ” But if you want something a little more adult friendly then head to the wine tent on Saturday. “The tent will involve five local wineries – most of the activities are for kids – but we need to keep the adults entertained so we have five local wineries showcasing their products on Saturday at the show ground.” She said. “There are also three or four wineries in the main street. So if people are only going on Friday, they will still see some local wineries. ” So despite the cold weather, the welcome is warm for visitors with a myriad of activities to take part in.

There will Markets, entertainment, local produce, snow globes, sled dogs, igloo making, children’s crafts and the famous Ice Man Challenge are just the start in this feast of the senses for all ages. “Snowflakes in Stanthorpe is held every two years in Stanthorpe. We are grateful to be able to show off our region in a COVID safe way at the 2021 event” Robyn Henderson concluded. “Our town loves being in the spotlight when it comes to cold temperatures. Over the last few years, we have created an iconic event that caters for kids and kids at heart.”

Covid update for Snowflakes SNOWGROUNDS On Sunday head back to the Stanthorpe Snowgrounds for more great activities. The ice skating rink will be open from 9am and there will be plenty more snow! There are two choices early on Sunday. For the adventure seekers, the Iceman Challenge will set your heart racing and Frostys Fun Run will ensure your youngest are challenged before hitting the snowfields. For those who prefer a slower start, and maybe a coffee, the Historic Vehicle and Machinery Display will be ready to show off their shiny motors. The market stalls will be open from 9am to 2pm and all of the childrens activities will be back. On stage entertainment continues all day.

Still lots to see and do at Snowflakes - check in with their website for the latest updates.

Getting creative in the main street.

Fun in the main street By Tania Phillips While all the weekend action for Snowflakes in Stanthorpe is centred around the Showground, Friday’s opening day is all about the town centre. “On Friday we have a lot of entertainment,” Robyn Henderson explained. “We actually have some fantastic entertainment across the three days. We have one stage down the street on Friday and two stages

across Saturday and Sunday with different entertainment on each stage.” There will be lots of kids activities down in the centre of Stanthorpe. “There’s pavement games, chalk art competition – there’s different fun bits and pieces across the day for the kids to do plus we have market stalls. Everybody on Friday is local. It’s a showcase of local products and produces plus of course all of the main street is open.”

As well as all the kids activities, the shop window competition is happening. “So people can comedown and support the local main street vendors as well supporting the market stall holders on Friday,” Robyn explained. “We have the lantern parade in the afternoon which leads down to the Quart Pot Creek where we have the laser show and fireworks in the evening.”

Friday will also feature displays from several local wineries and also icesculpting in the main street. “The icesculpting is a chainsaw competition so it’s for the tradies basically,” she said. “They get a really massive block of ice and they get to create something out of it. There is a winner at the end of that and it’s a really great activity to go and watch. It will be later in the afternoon on Friday.”

Farming ice for fun By Tania Phillips So where does all that snow come from for the beloved snowfield at the showground? You’d be surprised. It is one of the unsung jobs of the festival – one headed up by Stanthorpe Show Society president Brett “Boatie the snowmaker” Boatman and done strictly on a volunteer basis. When asked what he does at the winter festival “Boatie” is quick to tell you in his matterof-fact way. “I make the snow!” he says and he means it quite literally. At 3am on Saturday morning Boatie and his crew will be out in force in the dark and cold turning ice into snow like a group of modernday Jack Frosts. “When we first got together – the Show Society formed a partnership with a couple of other groups including the chamber of commerce – we had to have a president of the committee and I took on the presidency role on the first one that we did,” he said. “As part of that role I ended up getting on to a guy in Brisbane who has the snowmaking machines and to keep costs down I went down there and got it on me truck. He gave me a quick course on how to make snow and I ended up working with some mates of mine who are veggie growers and we got all the ice together. It was a bit of trial and error but we got it done. “Since the first one we’ve refined our processes now and we use an excavator and a whole heap of machinery to get all the ice done. “It’s a fairly mammoth task but the guys – my team that I get together – they’re all volunteers. They all volunteer their time and they’re

Man-made but still fun! Kids enjoy the hard work of a group of quiet achievers.

An early icy morning is easy when the reward is smiles like this. machinery and their ice. “They all make ice.” He said they used 386 fruit bins of ice for the last event two years ago “That’s a lot of ice,” he chuckled.

“I’ve spoken to Alf who is the guy who does the snowmaking at Southbank in the winter there and Alf said he couldn’t do what we do, he simply couldn’t do it because of the sheer volume of ice we use and machinery. “ The icemakers start making their ice about

three weeks out for the event – because it takes a lot of time to make all the ice needed for the snowfield. “They all make in their icemaking machines because they all have them on the farm for the broccoli and stuff,” he explained. “They use their own machines, water and ice and just put them in the bins and store them in their freezers. And then Taylors, Lindsay Brothers, Fruit Freighters and Rodney Ren donate the fridge vans we have at the showgrounds with all the ice in it. We have them there the Friday before and then 3am on the Saturday morning we start making the ice. We usually have a practice run on a Friday afternoon to make sure we’re good to go.” There are usually 20-30 volunteers there to help on the morning from 3am. “It’s a big effort on their behalf – really it is - to get up at 3am on a minus whatever it is in Stanthorpe in July is a pretty big ask,” he said. However it’s an effort they all obviously enjoy - especially when they see the smiles on the kids faces.

“On behalf of the people of Southern Downs, I welcome visitors to Snowflakes in Stanthorpe 2021 and wish everyone a terrific time”

Rural Links GNF hosts cattle market By Jess Baker George and Fuhrmann’s 24 June store and weaner sale was a huge success despite the moody weather, with one livestock salesman confident the market was as strong as he’d ever seen it. GNF Managing Director Matt Grayson said wintry conditions meant few onlookers attended the sale at Stanthorpe, but did little to dampen the spirits of buyers. “There was roughly 600 head there,” Matt said. “The market was very strong with a lot of support coming out of Victoria and southern New South Wales, as well as locals.” Matt said the market was as strong as ever, likely due to a lack of supply. “The demand for beef globally is very strong at the moment,” he said. Buyers from right across the Southern Downs attended the sale at the Stanthorpe Saleyards on Thursday, which Matt said is not uncommon as people will travel far for a big sale.

Leading stock and station agency MCDOUGALL AND SONS brings us an update on local markets from last week…

Market numbers subdued Numbers were subdued across the livestock selling sale rings (last) week as cattle, sheep and lamb numbers as well as pork and poultry numbers fell, if it is a sign of the seasonal change or the tax break time only time will tell. Numbers of stock have been bought across all the categories with most growers looking to up the numbers after the big dry. This of course leads to a two-fold rhythm of low numbers which generally equates to high rates for the buyers across the spectrum. Cattle numbers Vealer steers averaged 539.6c/kg to a top of 614.2c/kg or average $1319.91 to a top of $1922.52 Vealer heifers averaged 492.8c/kg to a top of 596.2c/kg or average $1191.15 to a top of $1580.18 Feeder steers averaged 430.8c/kg to a top of 520.2c/kg or average $1911.58 to a top of $2300 Feeder heifers averaged 434.7c/kg to a top of 472.2c/kg or average $1519.56 to a top of $1776.80 Yearling steers averaged 482.7c/kg to a top of 557.2c/kg or average $1617.06 to a top of $1966.44 Yearling heifers averaged 469.7c/kg to a top of 478.2c/kg or average $1684.67 to a top of $1829.64 Steers averaged 401.7c/kg to a top of 478.2c/ kg or average $1996.25 to a top of $2210.94 Heifers averaged 393c/kg to a top of 474.2c/ kg or average $1660.33 to a top of $2394.89 Cows averaged 274.1c/kg to a top of 312.2c/ kg or average $1594.16 to a top of $2409.60 Bulls averaged 306.4c/kg to a top of 472.2c/ kg or average $2115.31 to a top of $2842 Sheep and lamb numbers Lambs topped at $229 to average $187.39 a rise of $17/head week on week Hoggets topped at $236 to average $189.55 a rise of $1/head week on week Ewes topped at $236 to average $147.20 a fall of $4/head week on week Wethers topped at $212 to average $190.96 a fall of $9/head week on week Lamb rams topped at $192 to average $186.68 a fall of $10/head week on week Goats averaged $156.33 across the categories with direct to works at around $4/kg liveweight range. Pig numbers Pork sold from $126 to $147/ head , store pigs from $50 to $161/head, boars at $126/head Poultry numbers Hen and chicks sold to $45, Pullets sold to $13, hens sold to $37.50, roosters to $15 Ducks sold to $21/head, Drake to $40/head McDougall and Sons sheep and lamb report Agents (Wednesday 23 June) saw a mixed run of sheep and lambs for the weekly sale as only 668 head made the yarding with a few runs of good trade lambs available from New England

The sale yarding averaged $182.60 per head up $14 week on week. The break-up of sheep to lamb ratio was 60:40 to the lamb side, hence the downturn of mutton prices.
