Tourist boom Duck family unveiled

Despite Queensland’s border restrictions and ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns, the Southern Downs remains a tourist hotspot. According to recent visitor figures tabled at Southern Downs Regional Council’s meeting of 25 August, the Granite Belt is faring particularly well at present. “Accommodation businesses are still extremely busy with above average numbers across the Granite Belt,” the report read. The Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre recorded 2965 visitors in July this year, compared to 3568 in July last year, and 2519 in July 2019. Last July was the visitor information centre’s biggest month recorded since 2014. Full story – Page 6

Group gone Mayor Vic Pennisi has announced he is no longer asking his colleagues to approve his mentoring program. The decision came after several councillors voiced concerns with the group, calling aspects of it “not transparent”. Yesterday, the identities of members of the mayor’s – now abandoned – mentoring group were revealed. Full report – Page 4

Strawberry miss it’ll make the price lower to the point where it might not even be feasible to pick.” A spokesperson for the association of Queensland Strawberry Growers said punnets of strawberries were widely available across the state for less than $2, with Woolworths selling at $1.90, Coles at $1.70, and Aldi at $0.99. “Meaning, farmers are actively losing

around 50 cents for every sale and are unable to cover the most basic of costs if demand doesn’t increase,” the spokesperson said. “If this continues, devastatingly, strawberry farmers may be forced to pick and dump their strawberries or walk away from whole fields with fruit left to rot.” Full story – Page 3

PUZZLES ................................... page 21

A Warwick woman, who asked not to be named, would like to thank the “good Samaritan” who handed money of hers in to the Warwick Post Office last week. She said she attended the post office on Wednesday 1 September to pay some bills and accidentally left an envelope enclosing $100 on the counter. On Monday 6 September, after receiving a phone call from the post office, she picked up the envelope - money still enclosed. She said the kind stranger who left the envelope with the Warwick Post Office staff did not leave their name or address, but she would like to extend her heartfelt thanks to them.

Conscience Votes? TODAY Sunny 25°C

TOMORROW Sunny 27°C

SATURDAY Sunny 27°C

SUNDAY Sunny 27°C

MONDAY Mostly sunny 23°C

A conscience vote does not mean an MP can vote however they wish. It simply means they do not have to vote as directed by their party. However a conscience vote must still be exercised in line with one’s obligations as an MP. In this respect, the oath of office which James swore when admitted as the MP for Southern Downs requires him to “well and truly serve the people of Queensland and faithfully perform the duties and responsibilities of a member of the Legislative Assembly”. It is the duty of an MP to represent all of their constituents, not just the people who vote for them. So as to avoid the “leftist” elements for Brendan Dunn from the Vote Compass statistics, 74% of LNP voters in the Southern Downs support voluntary assisted dying (VAD) laws, 77% of Catholic voters, 83% of Anglican voters and 62% of other Christian voters. So both a majority of LNP voters, and a majority of those identifying as religious, in the Southern Downs support the VAD laws. When combined with other voters it is clear that at least 80% of the people of Queensland support these legislative

changes. No doubt James is aware of this support, either from the results of this poll or from discussions with his constituents. James has made it clear he does not support the VAD laws but does this justify him ignoring his duty to his constituents and thwarting their wishes? On every Parliamentary vote an MP may vote for or against a proposition or may abstain. If because of personal, religious or other reasons James cannot bring himself to fulfil his obligations to his electorate then the only honourable course would be for him to abstain on the vote. It would certainly be dishonourable for James to use his vote in his own personal interests, or in the interests of a small minority of his constituents. Tom Cullinan, Granite Belt

Letter to Southern Downs MP James Lister Dear Mr Lister, Thank you for your clear presentation of the reasons you are not supporting the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill. As you say, the devil is in the details. Thank you for voting against this Bill.

Dear Editor, Thank you for publishing Mr Lister’s statement, even though you disagree with his decision to vote against the Bill. We appreciate your team’s approach to presenting both sides of the “argument”, and giving us, your readers, an opportunity to consider all sides of a particular issue for ourselves.

The editor’s desk Today is R U OK day and yet here I am writing a column with great sadness, never having been given the opportunity to ask that exact question. The passing of our former editor Jeremy Sollars has left a massive hole in this paper, indeed across the news landscape of the Southern Downs. I have known Jeremy for many years working under him at the Stanthorpe Border Post and more recently here at the Southern Free Times and Warwick Stanthorpe Today. It is no secret Jeremy and I clashed on more than one occasion, usually down the typical editorial versus advertising line. However, there was also no doubting the respect we each had for the other‘s passion for news and newspapers. Jeremy was the King of ‘keeping the bastards honest’. It was a term used by many in our industry particularly when analysing his work for the Queensland Country Press Awards. It was never a surprise when Jeremy was named Journalist of the Year. When he sank his teeth into a story you knew you were going to read something special. His perseverance, his ability to get beyond the surface, was second to none. I was in awe of so much of his body of work. Jeremy had a knack of making people feel comfortable to tell their truth – a gift not always bestowed on today’s journalists. To his children and grandson, there are not enough words to convey how we feel. Please know that there is an army of support around you and that your father, above all else, loved you dearly. At the end of the day there is still a stigma around mental health. But it’s something that we should talk more often and openly about. Jeremy’s life should serve as a reminder of that. “The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and what you feel.” Rest in peace Jeremy.

Strawberry misses By Jess Baker With strawberry prices in Queensland at an all-time low, and no end in sight for lockdowns in NSW and Victoria, Granite Belt growers are foreshadowing another difficult summer season. Stanthorpe strawberry and apple grower Nathan Baronio said NSW is a “huge market” for local produce in ordinary times, but less so during periods of shutdown when restaurant, cafe, and dessert shop trade is limited. “If lockdowns don’t ease by the time our season really gets going it will significantly impact us and anyone who grows any produce that really needs visual purchasing,” Nathan said. “If New South Wales doesn’t open up and the demand of strawberries (doesn’t increase) it’ll make the price lower to the point where it might not even be feasible to pick.” A spokesperson for the association of Queensland Strawberry Growers said punnets of strawberries were widely available across the state for less than $2, with Woolworths selling at $1.90, Coles at $1.70, and Aldi at $0.99. “Meaning, farmers are actively losing around 50 cents for every sale and are unable to cover the most basic of costs if demand doesn’t increase,” the spokesperson said. “If this continues, devastatingly, strawberry

Granite Belt strawberry growers say if prices remain as low as they currently are, they will suffer significant losses. farmers may be forced to pick and dump their strawberries or walk away from whole fields with fruit left to rot.” Nathan said if the price of punnets of strawberries is still around $1 in the summer, when the cost of production is higher, Granite Belt growers will suffer significant losses. “You’re losing money hand over fist at that price, especially with our season because it’s harder to grow strawberries in the summer than it is in the winter,” he said. Despite the very real threat lockdowns pose on local growers’ upcoming strawberry sea-

son, Nathan said his farm, Eastern Colour, has been lucky in some way. Finding adequate labour to pick produce has been a difficult – sometimes impossible – task since Australia closed its international borders at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, Eastern Colour has not only retained a large number of workers from the Pacific Islands throughout the pandemic, it has gained dozens more. “(The labour situation) for us is better than last year because we’ve got more Pacific labour. But if you don’t have Pacific labour, it’s worse than last year,” Nathan said. “We have got 80 Pacific Island workers at the moment and we will be getting another 60, which will account for maybe 60 per cent of our workforce. “The strawberries are really labour-intensive so you need big numbers to be able to operate the farm, whereas if you had 60 people picking apples you’d pick a hell of a lot of hectares.” Nathan said if lockdowns in NSW and Victoria were to remain, people intending to work in those states might instead work in Stanthorpe. However, a large workforce will mean very little if demand for, and prices of, punnets of strawberries do not soon increase in Queensland.

Mentor group abandoned By Jess Baker Following a heated discussion at an ordinary meeting of Southern Downs Regional Council, Mayor Vic Pennisi has announced he is no longer asking his colleagues to approve his mentoring program. The decision came after several councillors voiced concerns with the group, calling aspects of it “not transparent” and undemocratic. At the council’s meeting of 25 August, Councillor Jo McNally told Cr Pennisi there could be no trust within SDRC chambers, as neither she nor any other councillor knew the identities of the members of the mentoring group he was trying to implement. “The difference between this committee and others has been that it is not transparent,” Councillor Jo McNally said to Cr Pennisi at the meeting. “I don’t know if you have a close personal relationship with any of these people that you have handpicked …” Despite also fielding questions about the identities of the group’s members from Councillors Cynthia McDonald and Sheryl Windle, Cr Pennisi did not disclose the information during the August meeting. Councillors eventually voted to rescind a resolution made at a meeting in May to adopt the terms of reference for the mentoring group, or the Southern Downs Innovation and Development Committee, as it was then called. Yesterday, at the council’s meeting of 8 September, the identities of members of the mayor’s – now abandoned – mentoring group were revealed.

The six members of the mayor’s controversial mentoring group were revealed yesterday at an ordinary meeting of SDRC. A report tabled at the meeting stated a group of six people met for the first time just over a month ago, on 30 July, for a “familiarisation session and to discuss the terms of reference, the status quo and potential conflicts”. The mentoring group included Beth Woods, Trish Stewart, Mike Hefferan, Brent Finlay, Nigel Andrews and Kristian Rose. Warwick and Stanthorpe Today understands Dr Beth Woods OAM is formerly the director-general of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Queensland, Trish Stewart is

a marketing expert who grew up in Warwick, Emeritus Professor Mike Hefferan once served as director-general of the Queensland Department of State Development, Brent Finlay is president of the National Farmers’ Federation and strategic adviser of the Granite Belt Irrigation Project, Nigel Andrews is a Killarney local and director and co-founder of Blue Electronics, and Kristian Rose is a Queensland Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning representative.

The report stated the Hon John Mickel and a senior representative from the State Government Department of Innovation were also invited to attend the meeting. Cr Pennisi said he only “declared to the world” that he was considering a mentoring group in an effort to be transparent, and he intended to eventually share the identities of members with the public. “The intent of this program was to get a group of people together so that I could progress my own personal and professional development for the betterment of the community, and the organisation, in my role as mayor,” Cr Pennisi said. “It was not my intention to disclose the identity of these people until such time as they had firmly agreed to participate. “Once that participation was agreed, councillors, council staff and the community would have been informed about these highly knowledgeable and experienced people who had volunteered their service to our community.” CEO Dave Burges noted in his report to council that the initial meeting of the group was held simply to determine how members may work together, what their expectations were, and whether they were comfortable having their identities released. As it was an “informal and initial discussion” only, Mr Burges said no formal notes were recorded. A summary of the meeting was tabled at the council’s ordinary meeting yesterday and included the four “major issues” members felt they could help SDRC tackle – these being waste management, water and sewerage, population growth, and alternate income.

Cattle freight contract awarded to Watco By Jess Baker Watco East West, jointly owned by Watco Australia and East West Road and Rail, has been announced the operator of cattle rail transport services in south west and central west Queensland. Agriculture Minister Mark Furner visited Watco HQ at Warwick on Tuesday 7 September to announce the contract with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, which will span from 2022 to 2028. He said the partnership will help to ensure efficient logistical arrangements to support the cattle supply chain. “Agriculture is an essential industry in Queensland and a vital part of Queensland’s Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan,” Mr Furner said. “Partnerships like this one are a key strategic strength of the agricultural industry in Queensland, supporting thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in exports.” Watco East West director Chris Hood said he expected the contract would create about 30 local jobs.

“The communities where we will be operating will benefit from this government decision and we will work collaboratively with the cattle industry and the road freight industry to ensure system coordination,” Mr Hood said. He said Watco East West was determined to deliver better outcomes for processors and cattle producers by integrating the two services with road use. “Ultimately, Watco East West will be concentrating on improved communications and better coordination between road and rail,” he said. “Our aim will be to attract cattle into loading points as far north as Winton and Clermont, as well as building greater volumes from the north to the west and into the Morven Freight Hub.” The new contract will see the rail freight company managing their second service in Queensland, after it secured the south west line 12 months ago. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said supporting cattle producers and Queensland’s beef industry was an integral

part of the state government’s Covid-19 economic recovery plan. “Transporting cattle on rail reduces wear and tear on our roads and reduces traffic congestion, so a key aim of this contract is to increase the amount of cattle transported by rail services,” Mr Bailey said. “Queensland has the largest and some of the best beef herds in Australia, and the beef industry is a significant contributor to the state’s economy. “More than 10,000 Queenslanders work in the beef industry, and cattle transport is a critical part of its successful operation in a state as large as ours. “By supporting businesses like Watco to help manage the freight task, we’re sharing the load between road and rail.” Mr Furner said the decision to award Watco East West the contract followed a competitive procurement process. Approximately 6000 cattle are expected to be transported each week by the company once the contract begins on 1 January next year.

In a flap over unveiling By Dominique Tassell The unveiling of a duck sculpture has prompted the amendment of RADF guidelines after formal invitations were not extended to all Council members, including the Mayor. To add insult to injury, the event on 2 September occurred in Stanthorpe but only Warwick councillors were present. The three Warwick councillors present were Councillors Marco Gliori, Jo McNally, and Sheryl Windle. All three are representatives on the RADF Reference Group, raising questions about why only Warwick councillors are involved in this particular grants process. The artist has confirmed she only extended invitations to Councillors Gliori and McNally. Councillor Gliori has confirmed that he invited Councillor Windle after receiving the invitation as she was involved in the RADF committee, however some have still raised questions about why one councillor was informed and not others. It has been expressed that perhaps the Councillors present should have extended invitations to the other councillors. Multiple councillors have confirmed they did not receive notice of or invitation to the event. Councillor Stephen Tancred confirmed that he was not invited, stating that he wasn’t sure if it was “a ministerial oversight”. “I’ve enquired about it.” He expressed his disappointment at not being invited, as the event took place in Rotary Park and he is a Rotarian. “I would have loved to have been there as a Rotarian,” he said. Councillor Tancred is also involved with the Chamber of Commerce, who were involved in the sculpture unveiling as well. He said he’s since seen the ducks, and “they look lovely”. He said he looks forward to taking his grandkids down by the creek to feed the ducks and admire the sculpture, much like he took his own children down to feed the ducks when they were little. Councillor Tancred stated that community events like the sculpture unveiling are a “great break from the normal Council work” and it’s always good fun “to get out amongst the community”. “I look forward to more of those opportunities,” he said. Councillor Cameron Gow stated he was not invited to the event either. However, he stated that “we as councillors don’t get invited to everything”. “The mayor gets invited to things by himself occasionally,” he said. “I don’t expect to get invited to absolutely everything” He stated that if the invitation was specific and given to Council, then the staff have done nothing wrong in not forwarding it to all Councillors. He stated that “the organiser might be able to shed light on why the invite was specific” as

The unveiling of a duck sculpture has prompted the amendment of RADF guidelines after formal invitations were not extended to all Council members, including the Mayor. if the invitation was specific to certain councillors that was up to them. “I’m not concerned that I didn’t get an invite to this.” “Council can’t make the community do things,” he said. He said Council can make requests, “but you can’t dictate to a community member who they should invite to their event, that’s up to them”. Councillor Gow stated he is in no way upset with the organisers, and only cares that the community is happy. “If they’ve made art for the community, they should be congratulated.” Councillor Ross Bartley confirmed he too was unaware of the event. Councillor Marco Gliori confirmed that he had informed Councillor Windle of the event, and consulted with Councillors Windle and McNally to carpool to Stanthorpe together for the event. He stated that he told staff of the event. He has been criticised for giving the Mayor’s apologies at the event when the Mayor had no knowledge of it. Councillor Gliori said he always tries to acknowledge the mayor, as he is aware he is a representative of Council at these events. He said he was not aware at the time if the Mayor had been invited or not. He stated he would encourage other councillors to attend these kinds of events wherever possible. Mayor Vic Pennisi stated that he “gets hun-

dreds of invitations and can’t make them all”, and was very comfortable with Councillor Gliori representing Council at the event. “I’m a big believer that we don’t all need to go,” he said. “As long as the region is represented.” When asked whether all Council representatives on the RADF Reference Group being from Warwick was an issue, he stated that having those Councillors on the group was a democratic decision made by Council at the start of their term. He stated that they had also made the decision to have it reviewed two years after being appointed, so come March new people might be on it. The Mayor further commented that he did not believe there was anything meant by him not being invited to the event, as some have suggested it may be due to tension between Council and the Stanthorpe Art Community over decisions to improve current facilities instead of creating new ones. Maggie Brockie, the artist of the sculpture and event holder, stated that she invited Councillors Jo McNally and Marco Gliori to the event via email. She stated that she did not invite Councillor Sheryl Windle personally. Council has confirmed that Councillor Windle heard about the event and, as she had filled in for Councillor McNally on the RADF committee, wanted to attend. Maggie stated she “was happy that (Councillor Windle) was there and would have been

happy if anyone had been there”. Maggie stated that her RADF obligations meant she had to invite councillors but she decided to only invite those “that have the portfolios that cover the arts and culture” “I focus on the (Councillors) that are concerned,” she said. The requirements for RADF grants do state that inviting the Mayor and all councillors to events is just one of many ways that the funding can be acknowledged. A Council spokesperson stated that “ultimately, the grant recipient is responsible for extending invitations to their event and Council has no input to the list”. “In the instance of the unveiling of the duck artwork in Stanthorpe recently, the grant recipient invited the RADF Reference Group.” The spokesperson further stated that while the invitations for the sculpture unveiling were in line with current RADF guidelines, “Council acknowledges the sensitivities around these event openings and apologises that not all Councillors were invited to this official opening on this occasion”. The RADF guidelines will now be amended to ensure that all future RADF official openings require the recipient to invite all Councillors to the opening. The Council spokesperson further confirmed that officers will be writing to all existing recipients who are yet to acquit an RADF application. If they are holding an official opening, they will be advised of the need to invite all Councillors to the official opening.

Visitor numbers surging By Jess Baker Despite Queensland’s border restrictions and ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns, the Southern Downs remains a tourist hotspot. According to recent visitor figures tabled at Southern Downs Regional Council’s meeting of 25 August, the Granite Belt is faring particularly well at present. “Accommodation businesses are still extremely busy with above average numbers across the Granite Belt,” the report read. “Visitors are still encouraged to book in advance for meals and wine tasting experiences to avoid disappointment. The local tour companies are also very busy with weekend tourists.” The Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre recorded 2965 visitors in July this year, compared to 3568 in July last year, and 2519 in July 2019. Last July was the visitor information centre’s biggest month recorded since 2014. Owner of popular accommodation and dining venue Granite Belt Retreat and Brewery, Geoff Davenport, said Queensland’s recent decision to close its borders had a minimal impact on business. While numbers were higher in August and September last year than they were for the same months this year, Geoff said they remained strong. “We’ve had a few people cancel (due to lockdowns) but nothing major,” Geoff said. “Weekends are typically 100 per cent occupancy. Midweeks are pretty good at 70 to 80 per cent. “Normally it goes down to between 40 and 50 per cent midweek in September.” Geoff said August was also a successful month for Granite Belt Retreat, with occupancy at about 90 per cent after South East Queensland residents exited a brief one-week lockdown on 8 August.

“It’s good to see that Queenslanders are rediscovering Queensland,” he said. The business has had to take on additional staff, including housekeepers and kitchen and wait staff, to keep up with the surge in demand it has experienced since Queensland’s first lockdown was lifted mid last year. Warwick, whilst on paper not hosting as many tourists as is usual for this time of year, is anecdotally also seeing an increase.

According to a report tabled at SDRC’s August meeting, the Warwick Visitor Information Centre recorded more visitors this July than it did last year, but less than it did in 2019. This July, the visitor information centre recorded 2701 visitors, compared to 1231 in July last year and 3437 in July 2019. Council officers attributed the low numbers to Covid-19 lockdowns and restric-

tions, explaining a majority of visitors to the Warwick centre in July this year were from Queensland. “As we headed into the region’s peak season partnered with events running across Warwick, Killarney and Allora, we saw below average visitor numbers in the Warwick Visitor Information Centre,” the report read. “This was due to Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions occurring in South East Queensland and New South Wales which have impacted on visitation numbers.” Contrary to the visitor information centre, some Warwick accommodation providers claim to have seen an increase in visitor numbers in recent times. Owner of the historic 120-year-old Abbey Boutique Hotel, formerly Abbey of the Roses, Sonia Hunt said 100 per cent of rooms were currently occupied on weekends, while 25 to 30 percent of rooms were occupied during the week. “It’s actually a bit more than normal,” Sonia said. “(Our guests are) all Queenslanders, because (they) recently can’t travel across the border and they still want to travel. It’s good that we’re still open.” Sonia said many of her guests reside in Brisbane or the Gold Coast and travelled to Warwick to enjoy attractions like Morgan Park and Queen Mary Falls, as well as to relax. She said that while snap lockdowns across Queensland do impact accommodation providers like herself, they were important to keeping Southern Downs residents safe and businesses in operation. “When lockdowns happen people of course cancel and then they’re nervous to rebook. It takes them a while to rebuild confidence,” Sonia said. “But we are 100 per cent behind lockdowns … Life’s more important than money.”

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) received the monthly report for WIRAC at the 25 August meeting, stating the centre is “past its use-by date” but that an action plan for upgrades is in the works. The report stated that while during winter the centre has closed an hour earlier, normal summer hours will recommence later this month. The centre stated that the weekly rock wall program had become “unviable” due to a lack of instructors and had in turn been cancelled. The program will now only run on holidays and during school programs when the instructor is available. The report referenced the World’s Largest Jazzercise attempt made by the centre during the Jumpers and Jazz Festival, stating

that despite the bad weather on the day it was a success. Councillor Andrew Gale stated during the meeting that he would “like to pay special mention to all of the staff at YMCA who assisted in that great, fun, day that we had” at the event. “The council staff who assisted and anyone who gave up their time to come and attend, but I’d like to make special mention of manager Karen and also Terri,” he said. “We were very determined on Saturday morning that we would never hold an event like this again, such was the level of stress around it,” he said. “However I’m proud to report that since then we’ve gotten together and I think we’re going to have another crack at the world record next year so I’d like to pay special mention to them.” Councillor Stephen Tancred stated that he too was involved in that world

record attempt as the Chief Steward. “It’s quite onerous having to take a clipboard and walks amongst rows and rows of people in lycra doing exercise,” he joked. “But it was a task I took on willingly. I’d like to congratulate Councillor Gale for organising it, and encourage the community to participate next year and improve the Australian record to a world record.” The report went on the address the ongoing upgrades at the centre, and how the centre is simply “past its use-by date” and needs work done. The report stated the air handling system in the hydrotherapy pool has been a problem since its installation, however is now out of warranty which means a new plan of action for repairs is being pursued. WIRAC stated that to combat the ongoing issues, they will continue discussing with council and will create an action plan soon.

QUARANTINE UPDATES ACROSS THE STATE New families allowed into hotel quarantine amid pause Queensland Health confirmed on 7 September that 487 people had entered hotel quarantine that particular weekend. Of those people, 323 came from overseas while 164 came from a domestic hotspot. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced in State Parliament on 1 September that 50 families would be accepted into hotel quarantinethat coming weekend. Queensland paused intake to the hotel quarantine system on 25 August, stating it was full. In Parliament, the Premier stated that in the month of August the state had 5044 domestic air arrivals and 6072 international arrivals. She said “we keep some capacity because we don’t know when the charter flights are coming in”. She confirmed the state is taking two additional plane flights from Afghanistan, which they are “happy to do”. “So yes, our hotels are full.” She stated that as soon as there is availability people will be allowed in to the hotel quarantine system. When she announced the pause, the Premier said “this is about keeping Queenslanders safe”. “Queensland is being loved to death. “We have been overwhelmed by new arrivals from interstate hotspots relocating to Queensland to escape lockdowns in New South Wales and Victoria. “While we have allowed genuine relocations for work and other purposes, it has overwhelmed our hotels and it has to be stopped at least for the next fortnight.” Health Minister Yvette D’Ath said these measures are about keeping Queensland safe. “The pressures on hotel quarantine are simply unsustainable,” the minister said. “We never know how many domestic arriv-

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has made announcements on hotel quarantine and the new Wellcamp facility, but received criticism over NRL players being allowed into the state. als we have from day to day. “So far we have been able to accommodate them and I appreciate this is a major inconvenience, but we our first priority must be keeping Queenslanders safe.”

Premier dodges Wellcamp cost questions Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk would not confirm the cost of Toowoomba’s Wellcamp quarantine facility in parliament on 1 August. When asked how much the facilities would cost, the Premier stated that this was confidential. She stated the facility would be “up and running by the end of this year”. “By Christmas those facilities will be ready,” she said. The state government has signed a oneyear lease for the facility, with the option of extending to two or three years. The Premier also repeatedly stated that though she could not reveal the cost, it will be “a lot lot less than the federal government’s Pinkenba facilities”.

Warwick Cricket will be hosting the following training day for all current and future junior cricketers, boys and girls all welcome. We will also be providing information for the upcoming junior season including registration and sign on information.

By Dominique Tassell She expressed that she had been advocating for regional quarantine facilities for a long time, and had decided to take it into the state government’s hands after failing to come to an agreement with the federal government. She stated that “regional quarantine is the best way that we can have a safe environment for people returning to the state...and for the staff working” The Premier referenced seasonal workers for the state’s farming communities, and how the new facility would help them. She also stated that universities have also expressed interested in having international students quarantining at the new facility too, though said the government will prioritise residents first. The Premier stated that the facility can take international flights, saying “that’s not a problem”. “If you build it they will come,” she repeatedly stated. “This is the best way we can protect Queenslanders.” The new regional quarantine facility is in collaboration with Wagner Corporation, Wagner Corporation will build the facility, with the accommodation modules to be manufactured in Queensland. The Queensland Government will operate the facility once it is up and running. Deputy Premier Steven Miles previously stated that “this facility will help Queensland to continue to open up and avoid expensive lockdowns”. “The Queensland Government will continue to work collaboratively to progress the Commonwealth’s Pinkenba facility, but we need more options to get returning Australians home safer.” Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath said, when the new facility was announced, that it would help continue to keep Queenslanders safe. “With more than one facility in Queensland, we will be greatly reducing our reliance on ho-

tel quarantine,” Minister D’Ath said. That means a lower risk of COVID spreading from facilities that were never designed for secured quarantining.”

Outrage over NRL players and families being allowed into QLD The Queensland State Government has again been forced to defend their decision to let NRL players and their families into the state at a time when hotel quarantine was paused. Queensland paused intake to the hotel quarantine system on 25 August, stating it was full. Approximately 100 league officials, players’ wives, girlfriends and children were recently allowed to enter Brisbane from Sydney, which is currently a declared Covid-19 hotspot. Member for Hill, Shane Knuth, questioned in state parliament on 1 September why NRL players were allowed to enter the state during the pause. Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath defended the choice, stating the NRL players were quarantined in their own separate “hub”. She stated “they have not taken one room away from someone who would have come in on an exemption”. “That was dealt with separately to our hotel quarantine”. She further stated that the majority of people trying to come into the state currently are not locals. “85 per cent of those recent arrivals are all people who live interstate who want to relocate to Queensland,” she stated. “I know there’s heartache,” she said. “We’ve seen heartache all over the world.” She stated that 100 people since the 16th June cluster had died in New South Wales, showing the importance of containing and preventing outbreaks. Ms D’Ath also criticised the federal government for not providing help earlier with the quarantine situation.

Quality is winery priority By Dominique Tassell Quality is the priority at Heritage Estate Winery, with every aspect of the business tailored to providing the best possible experience. The winery’s monthly Five Senses Degustation Dinners are the perfect example of this. Owners Robert and Therese Fenwick say visitors to Stanthorpe have relished the opportunity to don their dinner jackets and frock up. Guests at the dinner are seated with the winery owners at a grand oval table, an experience in itself given the table’s historic significance. The giant leather inlaid table is a Queensland treasure which these days calls Heritage Estate home, but once seated members of Parliament as the first Queensland Parliamentary Table circa 1859. The dinners offer an indulgence in all the five senses, with taste, sight, smells, sounds and a touch of class. The winery states it is thought to be the only sensory experience of its kind in Queensland, with gourmet dishes and wine on offer in combination with a ‘Le Nez du Vin’ aroma kit so guests can learn to identify wine scents. The aroma kit is the only of its kind in Queensland, and the winery is an exclusive state distributor of the 54 scent aroma kits from France. Over dinner, guests are introduced to the little bottles of scents. Mrs Fenwick says “it makes pennies drop for our guests when they smell the little scent bottles”. She states that the winery’s Old Vine Shiraz aromas of liquorice, chocolate, earthy tobacco, truffle and boxwood, and by smelling the scents individually in the bottles guests are then able to identify those notes in the wine tasting. “Our guests are finding it totally enlightening to be able to verbalise a smell that they know is familiar in the wine, but it’s hard for

The white wine vines are over 30 years old and at 927 metres above sea level are the highest of any 5-star Halliday winery in the country. them to verbalise until the kit reveals the scents,” she says. On the dinner menu is the likes of Amusebouche (bite-sized hors d’œuvres), seafood and game courses, decadent desserts, all of which are served paired to Heritage Estate’s 5-Star Halliday Rated Wines. Exotic meats are a feature, including goose, venison, Angus beef cheek, and goat. Guests are also treated to silent movies projected overhead and the sounds of a string quartet ensemble. Mr Fenwick says they started up the dinners last year as an option for Queenslanders wanting to travel. He says it seemed like a natural progression to offer visitors an opportunity to taste the “exquisite dishes” the winery’s chef had been posting on social media through cooking videos during the lockdown. People are reportedly relishing in the opportunity to dress up, with Mr Fenwick stating that “we ask the men to wear a dinner jacket if they have one, the ladies frock up, and we even have a professional photographer at all our dinners to capture and share the photos with our guests, all included in the dinner experience”. Once an old apple store, the Heritage Estate cellar door is the second oldest in the region.

The supporting beam in the winery cellar door also came from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and was used in the place of the many small rooms of the old apple store. Laden with antiques and a grand open fireplace, it sets an impressive backdrop to dinner events. Antiques and other curiosities include the over 80 year old Pianola which guests can play, a workers’ card punch time clock, railway equipment, old scales, and more. Also of historical note are the vines themselves at the winery, with the red wine vines being over 60 years old. The winery states this is old for Australia and old for the world as the oldest vines in the world are in South Australia and are roughly 130 years old. The white wine vines are over 30 years old and at 927 metres above sea level are the highest of any 5-star Halliday winery in the country. The soil in the Granite Belt is reportedly key to the quality of the wine, as the decomposed granite soil repels disease, is good for drainage, and encourages many varieties of healthy vines. Heritage Wines are a strong supporter of the Granite Belt’s Strange Bird Trail, with many of their wines from unusual varieties that represent less than one per cent of Australian production. These include Verdelho, Fiano, Tem-

pranillo, Malbec, and more. John Handy, the winery’s supervising winemaker and viticulturist, grew up on the property and has been making wines there for 15 years. He has produced a raft of award-winning wines with the business and oversees every aspect of wine production from the nurturing of the vines through to the final bottled product. John often employs Wild Ferment techniques so the wines not inoculated with purchased yeast, but are fermented slowly and gently, using yeasts from the winery airs, rather like making sour dough. He completed an Environmental Science degree at Southern Cross University and then went onto Charles Sturt University for a degree in Oenology. Upon returning home he took up residence as the chief wine maker, and then of course, viticulturist. There are too many awards over John’s 16year tenure to name, but Heritage owners Robert and Therese Fenwick, themselves with a business and wine history, hope that Heritage will continue high standards. “To win against 10,000 wines and be respected by James Halliday, is a great basis for the future” says Therese. Five Senses Dinners are a hot ticket during winter, which is the Granite Belt’s peak tourism season, yet the last year has seen Stanthorpe enjoying a welcome tourism boom, which has seen record visitors right through spring, summer and autumn too. The upcoming Five Senses Degustation Dinner will be held on 18th September, and the dinners are continued monthly. Tickets are $170 per person, including French Champagne on arrival at 6pm, followed by seven courses and matching wines. Accommodation pick-ups are available by prior arrangement.

Family of ducks unveiled By Dominique Tassell Maggie Brockie’s ‘The Duck Family’ Sculpture was unveiled on Thursday 2 September, and can now be admired below the Big Thermometer on Quart Pot Creek in Stanthorpe. The ducks accompanies her already installed scultpure in Weeroona Park. Maggie Brockie said at the unveiling that she didn’t necessarily have a story to accompany the sculptures. “I’ll leave that up to your imagination”. Merryl Anderson, a local who attended the unveiling, said it was “nice to see so many people” there. Southern Downs Regional Councillors Marco Gliori, Jo McNally, and Sheryl Windle were in attendance. The sculpture was funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), which is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Southern Downs Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.” Councillor Gliori spoke in support of the fund, stating “they’re supporting the arts and culture in regional Queensland and they should always be thanked because they did such a wonderful job.” Councillor Gliori supported Maggie’s statement that the sculpture will be personal to everyone who views it. He recalled a memory of “a busy city highway, when traffic came to a unanimous halt as a proud mother duck waddled across the highway leading 12 fragile duckling who followed trustingly”.

Time to take your pick strawberry lovers Strawberry lovers looking for a taste of spring will be able to pick their own newseason strawberries later this month, when a family-owned apple and strawberry farm on the Granite Belt hosts its first PYO strawberries event of the season. Applethorpe’s Eastern Colour is inviting Queenslanders to pick their own sweet, red strawberries and admire the annual King Blossom on 25 and 26 September. “Last season’s PYO events were so well-supported and loved by so many people that we just had to bring it back, and we are so excited to bring it back during one of the most beautiful times of the year on any orchard in Stanthorpe,” Eastern Colour’s Nathan Baronio said. “As a kid, there is such a sense of adventure that comes from wandering through the orchard, ducking between rows and playing hide and seek. We have been spoiled from a young age being able to do this, and we want the community to have the opportunity to experience the farm and the fruit the way that we do. “Nothing is better than eating strawberries straight from the plant.” Nathan said strawberry picking had become more popular than ever over the past five years, so he thought it would be an “awesome experience” to offer it during the apple King Blossom. He said Stanthorpe was the first region in Queensland to start a summer strawberry season, and Eastern Colour’s strawberries had come in early. There will be no limit to how many strawberries people can pick at the September event, and payment will be per kilogram. Enjoying the apple blossoms will cost just $5 per car. “It’s the new season and everything looks amazing. The fruit is big, sweet, and delicious. You can fill a tray or a car,” Nathan said. “Picking your own fruit saves on packaging, freight, and farm costs. We encourage people to come to the country for the day, get a taste for rural life, let the kids stretch their legs and leave with some delicious local produce.”

Everyone kept saying ‘gotta getta Gator, gotta getta Gator’, so, with a little help from some grant funding, we got one! This achievement could only have been made possible through funding by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal in partnership with the Australian government. We were also extremely grateful for the additional assistance provided by the team at Vanderfield in Toowoomba. The off-road and high clearance Gator will be extremely useful on the ‘notso-smooth’ terrain at the showgrounds to assist staff in their day-to-day activities that take place at the showgrounds. Having a Gator will also enable our volunteers to host more events without increasing volunteer fatigue. We value our volunteers highly, and appreciate that their efforts and commitment form an integral part of the successful operation of the Society and the Showgrounds. The Gator will also convey a professional image to visitors and campers staying at Stanthorpe Showgrounds and will be extremely useful in transporting goods and equipment around the grounds. We are very grateful to FRRR and the Australian government for providing the funding for this project and, once again, for the assistance provided by Vanderfield in Toowoomba for helping make it happen.

Allan Pettiford later said: “We were looking forward to a very leisurely trip; we weren’t dreaming that we’d be hit by a torpedo...” The Australian hospital ship Centaur was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1943, killing 268 people.

Radioman Bill Records, onboard the rescue ship, USS Mugford, later said: “(The Centaur crew and medical staff were) just everyday people, wonderful people, ...innocent people who didn’t deserve to die — not that way... I was shocked. I felt sorry for them. I still do.”

Hajime Nakagawa was found to be responsible for sinking the ship.

Tales of savage history By Jess Baker Former Warwick resident and renowned author Tony Matthews has released his latest historical book, ‘Sea Monsters: Savage Submarine Commanders of World War Two’. The new book tells the story of the several hundred people who were on board the Australian hospital ship Centaur when it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1943, through the eyes of the few who survived. It also includes a chapter on the life of Hajime Nakagawa, the submarine commander who sank the vessel, killing 268 people. In research for the book, Tony interviewed almost every survivor who was alive in 1993, which he said brought “a deep level of pathos and emotion to the whole tragic narrative”. “This book, for the first time, tells the poignant story of the sinking of the Centaur from the perspective of the survivors and also from those who cared for the survivors once they had been landed in Brisbane,” Tony said. “I also interviewed a man named Bill Records, one of the crew of the USS Mugford, the ship that rescued the survivors. Bill was able to provide colourful and clear details of the rescue mission.” Tony said he was compelled to write about the “worst maritime disaster in Australian waters” as he had a personal interest in the event. His wife, Lensie Matthews, is closely re-

“His brother, Leslie, known as ‘Les’, lived at the family property, Sunnyside, Pratten,” Lensie said. “Cars were scarce in those days, in fact many of them had been requisitioned for war use and fuel was being strictly rationed so

Percy had ridden his bicycle all the way from Warwick to Pratten, a distance of about twenty miles, in order to say goodbye to his brother and ageing mother.” Tony said that although thousands of books had been written about the Second World War, ‘Sea Monsters’ was unique as it was explored the personalities of characters and the violent and inhumane nature of their actions. “It is important that we remember and extol courage and self-sacrifice, for in those actions we see the nobility which exists within humanity, but it is equally important to remember and to condemn the actions of those who brought shame upon themselves and those who served with them,” Tony said. “Books such as ‘Sea Monsters’ record events for posterity, and that is important because posterity is the vehicle we use to apply judgement to an age.” Tony said he was conscious of writing a balanced book that exposed the “evil acts” of the submarine commanders and their crews as well as the stories of the “heroes” who helped others. ‘Sea Monsters: Savage Submarine Commanders of World War Two’ is now available at most book stores and online through Booktopia. It and other titles by Tony Matthews can also be found on the publisher’s website at www.bigskypublishing.com.au.

SPRING has SPRUNG

202109051485_1-DL38-21

Grow while cleaning up By Dominique Tassell Spring has sprung, and Andersens is encouraging locals to take a different approach to spring cleaning this year. Owner Hayley Kirby says that spring is a great time of year to do that home renovating you’ve been talking about. “We offer a huge range of products from carpet, vinyl, timber and laminate flooring,” she says. “We also have a beautiful range of tiles instore for your bathroom renovation. “And if you’re looking at freshening up your window coverings we also offer a range of shutters, roller blinds, panel glides and vertical blinds.” Andersens at Stanthorpe has an experienced team that can help you with whatever you need. The team, made up of Gary, Hayley, Theresa, and Chris can advise you on whatever projects you’re contemplating and the store also has installers with over 60 years experience. Andersens also offer a free measure and quote so customers should beat the Christmas rush by coming instore now. Customers can also feel good about playing a role in helping the environment when they shop with Andersens. Every floor or window covering project made with Andersens results in a tree being planted as part of their One Project-One Tree reforestation initiative around the world.

So far almost 80,000 trees have been planted across Australia, Africa, Europe, and South America. Andersens is committed to helping the community in multiple ways, and last year raised money for Australian children’s education charity, The Smith Family, by donating $1 for every square metre of Australian-made carpet sold. “We were thrilled to see that many of our customers felt strongly about supporting their cause too, and together we were able to raise over $95,000,” a spokesperson said. “These funds are providing young Australians experiencing disadvantage with the extra support they need to succeed at school.”

202109051485_1-DL38-21

Giftware range grows By Jess Baker An Applethorpe nursery has unveiled an exciting new space filled with garden giftware – including indoor plants, pots, books and candles – just in time for spring. Owner of Mick’s Four Seasons Nursery and third generation grower, Michael Brisotto, said it was great to watch the new space come to life and become something he was really proud of. “It will allow for … a lot more stock, so people have a lot more variety,” Michael said. “We have a new range of different pots, new suppliers, and our indoor plant range is growing.” He said the new space included many items that would make great gifts, either for loved ones or for buyers themselves. Indoor plants, being extremely popular during recent times of Covid-induced lockdowns, were near the top of Michael’s priority list when choosing new products for the store. He said the current Covid-19 climate had also encouraged many to begin their own vegetable patches and discover the magic of home-grown produce, which he took into consideration. “We’re improving some lines to have a better array of plants or pots or mulches to give a well-rounded experience,” he said. Michael said he was looking forward to helping locals see their gardens flourish this spring. “At this time of year (people plant) a bit of

Now’s the perfect time to plant Luise plum trees, also available at Mick’s. everything – deciduous trees, roses, flowers, lavenders – everything to brighten up the yard after a wet winter, ” he said. “There’s plenty of moisture in the ground and water in the tanks to get going.” An orchardist for many years, and a hobby gardener for as long as he can remember, Michael is as passionate as they come. He said he was excited for a bumper growing season and for the opportunity to help his customers achieve the gardens they always wanted. To see the brand new space at Mick’s Four Seasons Nursery, open seven days a week from 9am to 4pm, pop in and visit Michael and his friendly staff at 21 Ann St, Applethorpe.

Support local this spring By Jess Baker With spring finally here, and moisture conditions in the Southern Downs better than they’ve been in years, many are planning to use this season to start their garden off on the right foot. Long-established and locally owned and operated sand, soil and gravel supplier, Warwick Sand and Gravel Supplies, is providing locals with the tools they need to do exactly that. “Quality products is something that we feel extremely strongly about. We have garden blends, composts, loams, sand and gravel mixes along with a selection of different decorative pebbles and barks, aggregates, crusher dust and deco - basically everyone’s handyman and gardening needs,” Warwick Sand and Gravel Supplies owner David Fearby said. “Everything from the basis of the garden soil right through to a huge array of different mulches to finish off, along with mineral supplements for the garden.” Both born and bred in Warwick, David and his wife Kerry have worked tirelessly to support their community since taking over Warwick Sand and Gravel Supplies in March 2016. The pair purchased the near 40-year-old business from previous owners Peter and Alison Watt after Peter, David’s former boss and family friend, sadly passed away due to illness. Prior to working for Peter for approximately eight years, David spent 20 years working as a butcher at Carey’s Brothers Butchery then several years driving for Riverina Stockfeeds. Kerry spent that time working in customer service at Hynes Newsagency. Neither a stranger to hard work – and both passionate about supporting local people and business – they agreed to purchase Warwick Sand and Gravel Supplies when Peter’s health deteriorated.

Warwick Sand and Gravel Supplies owner David Fearby. David said that along with their staff, both Kerry and himself loved their work and helping their customers reach their garden and landscaping goals. “Every day we like to meet our customers’ needs and know that they’re extremely happy,” he said. “We do that by providing a friendly, personalised service.” Since purchasing the business, David and

Kerry have taken on new staff to meet the every-increasing demands of their customers, both new and old. They also go out of their way to support other local businesses and sponsor numerous local sporting teams and events. “We feel that it is imperative … to give back to the town in that respect,” Kerry said. “Also, it’s an absolute must that we encourage everyone to shop local and support local.

“Especially having been employed in private enterprise since we were both 15, it’s something that was instilled in us by our bosses back then and is something that we really feel strongly about.” To find out more about the products and services on offer at Warwick Sand and Gravel Supplies, and to support local yourself, visit the friendly staff at 11 Briggs St, Warwick or call (07) 4661 2080 today.

Learn to live sustainably By Dominique Tassell Locals can gain some knowledge of how to live a low-carbon life at an upcoming Sustainable Living Workshop in Warwick. Special guest presenter and co-author of “Low Carbon and Loving It”, Mark Delaney, will present a two hour workshop offering “practical insight on how to live sustainably in the modern world”. Mark says he came across climate change as a topic 10 years ago. He lived in India for many years, witnessing the impact of climate change of the population there. “When we came back to Australia in 2016,” he says. “We thought Australia would be better.” Mark says he’ll show those attending the workshop how to live a low carbon life, with several topics to discuss. He says he’ll focus on how to reduce your consumption of goods generally, offering tips and tricks he and his family have learnt over the years. He says a quarter of a person’s carbon footprint is the new things they buy, and that you can reduce this drastically in very simple ways. He says being aware of the impact of things like international travel is important, and things like walking or riding your bike to get around can have a huge impact. Mark says things like diets and where people buy things from will also be discussed. He will also focus on how to lower the impact of your domestic electrical use, such as how to buy green electricity.

Locals can gain some knowledge of how to live a low-carbon life at an upcoming Sustainable Living Workshop in Warwick. The workshop will be held on Saturday, 18 September from 1pm to 3pm. It will take place in St Mark’s Church Hall on Grafton Street in Warwick. The workshop comes at no cost, with afternoon tea to follow. Register with Susan Cruickshank by 15 September to attend. You can reach her by phone on 0427624635 or by email at nifty50@y7mail.com. The workshop is hosted by Christians for the Environment.

Tick for new road name By Dominique Tassell Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has endorsed a name for a proposed new road in Pratten. The new road to be named is a newly constructed road reserve off Big Hill Road in Pratten. There was some confusion over the purpose of the motion, with Councillor Marco Gliori asking for confirmation that they were to choose a name from the list in the agenda. Councillor Gliori stated that “having spoken to a lot of locals who have rediscovered that area out there in their retirement and the road less travelled during Covid which a lot of people are taking, Prospectors Road jumps out at me but I’d be interested to hear the other councillor’s opinions.” Councillor Sheryl Windle stated that Prospectors Road was her choice as well, “because I think it’s very fitting for the area”. “If you speak to a lot of the locals out there, they’ll tell you about the history with Pratten and the coal mines and I think that Prospectors Road was certainly my choice. “It was the one that jumped out at me as well.” Councillor Stephen Tancred thanked Councillors Gliori and Windle for adding information, but said he unfortunately didn’t know the area that well. “I wouldn’t feel that I had any ability to vote on any of these six (names) other than on what I hear here today. “I’m just wondering if we can’t ask the community to vote on all six.” The Mayor confirmed it would be going to consultation, with the CEO stating that the six names before Council came from the community. He confirmed the purpose of the motion was for Council to endorse a name and that

Councillor Tancred stated that “if it’s going back then I’m sure we won’t get it too wrong”. Councillor Jo McNally raised that policy dictates that street names should not be in plural form. “They were quite adamant that it should be singular. “They were quite clear on that.” Council then agreed to put forward the road name in singular form, as Prospector Road. Councillor Ross Bartley praised the name for being so apt for the location. “There’s prospectors out there everywhere,” he stated. “All the establishments are doing very well out there on weekends. “It’s literally a small gold rush on weekends. Mayor Vic Pennisi stated it seemed there was no one opposed to Prospector. Councillor Cameron Gow stated he was happy to take the advice of the other councillors, and not opposed to Prospector. The endorsed name of Prospector Road will now go to public consultation with the community of Pratten.

TOO SOON: COMEDY AFTER 9/11 SBS, 9.30pm

The idiom that “comedy equals tragedy plus time” is challenged in this introspective and funny documentary. A raft of stars, including David Cross (pictured left), Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, Marc Maron, Matthew Broderick, Cedric the Entertainer and Rob Riggle, share their thoughts in the soul-searching special grappling with the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. On the 20th anniversary of the attacks, it’s a profound and insightful exploration.

AUSTRALIA UNCOVERED: STRONG FEMALE LEAD SBS, 8.30pm

There are moments in this piercing feature that will give you goosebumps in disbelief, anger and despair. This excellent documentary series, which features eight standalone stories, kicks oﬀ tonight focusing on Julia Gillard (pictured), the ﬁrst and only female prime minister of Australia. Examining the entrenched sexism and misogyny in Australian society, the plight of Gillard is now more auspicious than ever. The reaction of the media, the public and parliament to Gillard’s leadership is examined, with some gobsmacking instances. You might ask yourself: what has changed since Gillard led the nation almost a decade ago?

RUSSELL HOWARD STANDS UP TO THE WORLD ABC TV PLUS, 8.30pm

Take one stand-up comedian, add travel, and there you have it: perfect pandemic viewing. Englishman Russell Howard (pictured right) packed his bags and left COVID-ravaged Britain last year to ﬁlm this three-part series in Australia and New Zealand which, at the time, could boast being a COVID-free zone. Alas, while we grapple with a new wave of infections, it’s a fun diversion to witness the Mock The Week star appreciate kiwi humour. He has a go at sheep-shearing, and chats with Urzila Carlson. Next week, he’s in our neck of the woods, experiencing our beautiful coast and enjoying a barbecue with writer, musician and comedian Tim Minchin.

It’s a common but rarely spoken fact that once you tune in for The Block for a little light entertainment to wile away one evening, you’re glued for the mammoth full run of the show, which eats up something ridiculous like three months of your life. Not that fans are complaining: what else is there to do these days? This year, the fans versus faves setup is foolproof, with old favourites declaring house-decorating war on some fresh faces, including savvy twins Josh and Luke. Tonight, guest bedroom and redo week kicks oﬀ, but not before we are treated to the contestants’ reactions to the ensuites, with one unimpressed couple even having a tape measure handy. Amusing stuﬀ. Twins Josh and Luke are competing on The Block.

RURAL LINKS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Rural Links This week on the farm By Judy Barnet, Farm Columnist It has been a busy, productive week as well as a sad one without Zorro. Dora the Explorer though has revelled in being promoted to top (well only) dog and getting to ride on the bike everywhere now. At eight months old she still goes from 0 to 100 as soon as released from her kennel but is showing promising signs of actually listening to commands now and has taken to the bike like a duck to water. Water is Dora’s favourite play toy. Most mornings and afternoons we head down to the dam where she can happily spend an hour racing up and down the dam trying to bite the water. Mostly she stays on the edge although at times she plummets off the edge into the deep and wonders what has happened. This morning though, I snuck off early without Dora, hoping to photograph a pair of Swans that has taken up residence. In my seven years here I have never seen the dam so alive. Or perhaps I have just learned to slow down and take time to enjoy mother nature at her finest! The light was not the best for photography so I took a few pictures of the swans and then sat down on the edge of the water for a while and watched the water. There were insects of every description hovering over and in the water, schools of small fish were easily seen – the water being quite clear. Larger fish were jumping out of the water and a bit further away from me I heard a really big splash – I turned to see a huge circle of water, bigger than I had seen before. I was able to snap a picture of this although I don’t think it will reproduce well enough for the paper I will post it on my Facebook Page (Glenlyon Dam Holiday Cottage). On the farm front there have been many new arrivals, kids and lambs galore are hopping, skipping and jumping around the farm. A ewe from the Wild Bunch surprised us by having triplets. They were born on the run I reckon, when I spotted her and her trio they were no more than eight hours old however they all took off like scalded cats. An attempt by me to sneak up on them in order to tag and tail failed miserably this morning – I was able to catch one but by the time I completed the tagging and tailing the others were no where to be seen – I was left holding the baby with no mum in sight. Not wanting anymore orphans to rear I put the lamb back down in the grass and went off in search off the wild bunch once again. I was able to round them up and head them back to Lamb 611.

Sugar Plum at the cottage.

My partner Richie on the John Deere Tractor. I decided it was time to leave well enough alone and will enlist Richie’s help to round the whole lot up and put them in a smaller paddock. Equally as hard to catch, also requiring tagging and castration are the kid goats. The goats are residing with the cows in a hill paddock and are checked daily but usually can be relied on just to get on with the job of kidding with no assistance required. The kid catching team consists of Richie and myself and involves me holding the bucket containing the required implements and advising Richie to run faster! I am in stitches when he attempts to tackle them but they are too agile. The does are unconcerned – more interested in the food we brought to lure them in. Eventually all are caught and dealt with, none worse for the wear except maybe Richie who is sporting several grazes. Richie had a day off on Tuesday and we mustered the sheep (except the Wild Bunch who would have caused too much disruption). We separated the ewes that were having twins/ triplets and put them in a separate smaller paddock so I can keep a close eye on them. We also painted large numbers on each sheep so we can accurately record the ewes and lambs for their pedigrees. In previous years we have used Smart Shepherd – a system that involves putting collars containing electronic chips on both ewes and lambs at around six weeks old. The collars then matches the lambs sucking off the ewes by marrying up the numbers. Our Smart Shepherd consultant is in NSW so that

was not possible this time. This year I catch the lambs soon after they are born and tag them. It was good timing for Richie to have his day off as one of the ewes had been unsuccessfully trying to lamb overnight and the two hooves sticking out looked like they had been there for a while. I remarked it was most likely dead however I was able to pull it out with little trouble. It was surprisingly large for a twin. The second twin was mal-presented so I pushed it back in and was then able to deliver it with little trouble. Both lambs were alive and mum was very grateful for my help. Both are doing well now with their very proud mamma. I was determined to make some more progress on moving the Gypsy Wagon (old mobile workers hut I mentioned last week) so for the rest of Richie’s day off we proceeded to move 400 bent star pickets and other farm “useful” bits and pieces that were blocking the way of us moving the wagon. It seems that I have spent the first 20 years of my life wanting things, the next 20 collecting them and now I am in a 20 year phase of disposing of the 20 year collection. Well, some of it anyway. It was hot, dirty work. You know you have a good man when he doesn’t mind you wearing his best Akubra hat when doing farm work because you can’t remember where you put your hat! Finally all the gear was moved and the Gypsy Wagon was dragged unceremoniously from its home. Spring has sprung on the farm, everything is budding – the sugar plum that grows the sweetest juiciest fruit is in full flower along

with the huge old ornament peach and plum trees and the wisteria is just starting to flower. I can see Pelicans gliding by from my front verandah – as AB Facey said – a fortunate life. I met local (Springdale) identity Mark Davey when he was working on my neighbouring Craige Station and a more hard working genuine man you could not meet! I was later to meet his wife Ange who is just as genuine and friendly. Together with their two children they run Springdale Aussie Whites Stud and are getting ready for their annual stud sale on 10 September at the Stanthorpe Showgrounds and also on AuctionsPlus. The sale is being held in conjunction with Murray and Helen Schroder of Keilah Stud located at Waroo. Murray and Helen were amongst the first people to breed Australian Whites. Although not a rare breed I thought I would tell you a bit about this hardy breed bred for Australian Conditions:

After the agency’s 2020 October Warwick Horse Sale was cancelled along with the Warwick Rodeo and Campdraft due to Covid-19, members of the McDougall and Sons team said they could not be more excited. The company has a history of breeding and racing success, and was founded by well-known thoroughbred and cattle breeder Charles McDougall, among others, in 1889.

A mainstay in Warwick for more than 130 years, leading stock and station agency McDougall and Sons has established a reputation of excellence and innovation. The company’s current team, led by principal Jennifer Brown, comprises local agents Dennis Bourke and Ross Ellis and office staff Rebecca Leeson and Annette Webster – all of whom are fiercely committed to providing good and fair trading for their clients and buyers. Ross said that while the company’s values remained the same as ever, its marketing strategies had changed with the times, allowing its clients and buyers to see continued success despite challenges like Covid-induced shutdowns and border closures. “We’re seeing a lot more direct-to-works and a lot more selling on different platforms like AuctionsPlus,” Ross said. “It works for both the vendor and the seller because we’re able to access stock from wherever for our clients.” He said the company’s Pig and Calf Sale, whilst always popular in the district, had become an unmissable weekly event to many locals since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. “It’s seen as a break that they can actually get out and mix with people,” Ross said. “It’s a happy time, whether they buy anything or not.” Held every Wednesday at the McDougall and Sons’ yards on the corner of Fitzroy and Lyons Street, the unique sale is the longest continually operated market in Queensland and the agency’s best attended. “Most weeks there are a couple of hundred people who come through the gates between vendors and buyers and onlookers,” McDougall and Sons staff member Rebecca said.

NEWS WarwickStanthorpeToday.com.au

Media giant under fire By Dominique Tassell A former employee from a regional NewsCorp publication has made scathing comments about the company, stating they want to “warn young journalists” against taking jobs there. This comes as Maranoa MP David Littleproud has slammed the company for “turning its back on regional Queensland” after it confirmed it will no longer distribute newspapers to bush communities from 26 September. “I want to warn a lot of young journalists about NewsCorp because I feel like a lot of us think this is going to be our only option and then we are so exploited and degraded,“ the former NewsCorp employee said. They stated that every job has its challenges but their previous roles at other outlets didn’t have “this overarching pressure to sell subscriptions”.

Reportedly, NewsCorp journalists must show they have brought in five subscriptions through their articles every week. The former staff member says that other community newspapers are “all about producing good quality local news, which should be our only job and priority as journalists”. “We aren’t sales people, and our success as journalists should not be dependent on how many subscriptions you sell.“ The Toowoomba Chronicle has this week laid off “a small handful” of advertising roles, reportedly five or six. Reportedly, the advertising team for the company’s specials papers is being migrated down South. Our source says the advertising staff at The Toowoomba Chronicle all signed job disclosure agreements; however one staff member did post on social media stating “I am gutted”.

A staff member at Warwick Daily News has also recently left and will reportedly not be replaced. This is in additional to the paper moving online and laying off staff last year. Regional journalism has taken multiple hits recently, creating an increasingly precarious situation. WIN News moved to a state model and closed five bulletins in Queensland earlier this year, including the Toowoomba and Darling Downs bulletin. Local papers also saw their print funding lowered when the state government amended legislation so that it was no longer mandatory to publish listings in print, and they could instead be uploaded to the department’s own website or through online news sites. The Katter Australia Party, whose founder Bob Katter recently visited Allora, was a vocal

critic of these changes at the time. KAP Party Leader and Traeger MP Robbie Katter, said in recent years Queensland’s rural and regional communities had been failed by media bosses trading regional papers and bulletins for metro ratings, and that the Government needed to make legislative changes in support of the industry. Mr Katter said regional journalists committed to informing residents in regional areas were “being left jobless through inaction by the Government as well as callousness by the private sector, relegating a once-thriving industry into disrepair“. He said rural and regional residents, unable to access local and reliable news content, would be the greatest victims of the trend. “Local journalism is on its knees, and this is in no one’s best interest.”

NEWS CORP ABANDONS REGIONAL COMMUNITIES AS MASTHEADS TO DISAPPEAR FROM BUSH TOWNS Maranoa MP David Littleproud has called out News Corp for turning its back on regional Queensland as the media giant has confirmed it will no longer distribute newspapers to bush communities from 26 September. Mr. Littleproud stated that “News Corp’s catchphrase ‘We’re for you’ is a total farse”. “It only applies to those living in a city because News Corp has drawn a line on a map of Queensland and said it won’t distribute newspapers past that point,” he said. “This is a heartless decision by News Corp that leaves bush communities in the dark and shows a level of discrimination just because of your postcode. “This move changes the landscape of news and affects businesses – like newsagents and local freight companies – as News Corp starves this industry in the bush. “When I first heard of News Corp’s inten-

tion to cease newspaper distribution in western communities, I contacted News Corp to request they not cease distribution, but rather work with local newsagents and freight companies to find a viable solution moving forward. “While News Corp did initially meet with some newsagency owners to discuss the situation, there was minimal contact from News Corp after that. “The newsagency owners and freight companies were the ones making all the effort to find a way forward - they did their utmost to put workable solutions forward to News Corp to keep newspapers in their rural communities - but News Corp just wouldn’t budge on their decision. “I am extremely disappointed with News Corp and I have written to News Corp’s Managing Director Jason Scott to ask that he con-

tinue to look for a workable solution through a shared freight mechanism with other businesses, or at least hold a trial period to test some new options. “I hope News Corp will do the right thing by rural Australians and rural businesses and opt to reverse their decision and continue distribution. “For many of our seniors, printed content is their only way to stay informed with community, state and national news. Taking away that valuable resource leaves communities in the dark and puts them at a disadvantage to their city counterparts. “Not to mention the significant implications for businesses in regional Queensland who will have these publications unfairly ripped from their shelves.”

Warwick Bridge Club notes... By Neil Bonnell, Warwick Bridge Club

Dozens of Probians gathered at Stanthorpe Exhibition Centre for Regional Probus Club Day.

Day out for Probians By Rose City Probus Club of Warwick A total of 80 Probians attended the Regional Probus Club Day on Tuesday 31 August, at Stanthorpe Exhibition Centre. Clubs represented included Warwick Rose City Probus Club, Combined Probus Club of Warwick, and Stanthorpe Probus Club. (Probus Clubs are an extension of Rotary Club for active retirees, where the focus is on not on fundraising, but rather encouraging

retirees with opportunities to serve on a club committee or just join in with local social gatherings and day trips.) Unfortunately, Tenterfield and Beaudesert Clubs were unable to attend due to Covid-19 restrictions. Guest speakers included Probus regional chairman Phil Matthews who presented new ideas for encouraging “active retirees” in varied outings and social times together, Hello World Travel Agency Stanthorpe manager Ge-

rard Torrisi, ( where CAN we travel?) Jeanette Davis presenting Wildflowers of the Granite Belt (focusing mostly on Girraween National park), and Peter O’Reilly, CEO of College of Wine and Tourism Stanthorpe. Guests enjoyed wine tasting just before lunch. A roast meal along with delicious dessert was prepared by Stanthorpe High School hospitality students. A highlight of the annual day is always meeting up with Probians from other clubs and sharing ideas.

This week’s contribution from Rose City Writers is from STEPHEN AINLEY

‘Old Age’ Well, now I am really depressed. In a massive show of advancing old age, I woke this morning to find a giant hair growing out of my right ear. It was definitely not there last night, I know, because I do an inventory every evening just in case there has been a spontaneous regrowth on my head during the day. I was reading in National Geographic where that happened to a man in Tajikistan. Evidently, he had been bald for fourteen years, then one morning, he woke up looking like Mick Jagger, but obviously with smaller lips. Anyway, that’s not important, but I woke with this huge hair hanging down to my shoulder; I know I should be pleased; it’s been a long time since I had shoulder-length hair. This growing old business is a bit strange; you lose the hair on your head, and yet you get something, not unlike Van Gogh’s paintbrushes protruding from your ears and nostrils. What’s that all about? Another thing is that happens, are you get all sorts of strange aches and pains in places you did not realize existed, this gets worse and worse as you get older until when you are extremely old, you can be just having a

chat with someone, and you pull a hamstring in your lip. According to the Bible, the oldest person who ever lived was Methuselah; he apparently lived to be 969 years old. Imagine the aches and pains he must have had, and what about the body hair situation? It must have looked like he had a mink coat hanging from each nostril. Now I know it would be nice to live to an old age, but 969 is a bit much to me. I think the biggest problem for Methuselah would have been planning for his retirement. I’m pretty sure that the life expectancy in those days would have been about fifty, so his plan was probably to retire at forty-five, buy a campervan and tour around the Middle East and then spend his remaining years in a Retirement Village by the Dead Sea. But instead, what happened? He just kept on living. The government was getting really annoyed with having to keep paying his pension for hundreds of years. His social life was a disaster, mainly because of the difficulty of meeting people in his age group. When he was 700 years old, he married a young girl of 308, but it was not a success.

Anyone will tell you that a 400-year age gap in a marriage is just too much. She still wanted to go to parties and disco’s, whereas he was having trouble getting out of his Jason Recliner. Also, when he was about 60, he thought to himself, “it’s not worth buying any new clothes; surely I can’t last much longer”. Consequently, he was wearing the same outfit for about 900 years, with the only consolation being that about every twenty-five years, it came back into fashion. Another obvious problem would be your memory. I mean, I’m already starting to forget things, so I would imagine poor old Methuselah spent the last 800 years of his life trying to recall where he parked the campervan. Finally, a piece of advice for anyone planning to live to this type of age, be careful what name you choose. Compared to Methuselah, I am just a young lad in peak mental condition, yet I could only spell “Methuselah” by looking it up in my “Bumper Book of Really Old People with Weird Names”, so I would think something like “Joe” or “Don” would be favourite.

When game can be made by either pair, as on Board 16 last Friday, there is bound to be some vigorous bidding. It was no surprise that after West opened 1H North overcalled 2D, no doubt planning to double a heart contract at a higher level. Both sides then exchanged spade and diamond bids until South raised the bidding to 5D, which was passed around to East, Noela Collins, who thought deeply then wrote 5S on the bidding pad. South, Beverly Bonnell, took out insurance against East/West making their contract and bid 6D. By this time East/West had had enough and passed quietly. Neither side, like young Albert’s doctor, were not sure whether they were “eighteen shillings out or eighteen pence in.” (See Stanley Holloway’s monologue Albert’s Jubilee Sovereign.) One question was quickly answered when Noela led partner’s first suit, hearts, and Nea McGinness won with the Ace then cashed the Ace of spades to put the contract down by one trick. Would East/West have made 5S? Yes and No. With East as declarer, South needed to lead a heart to beat the contract. This would have ensured that North’s King of hearts would be promoted. The King of spades and the Ace of clubs would also win to defeat 5S by one trick. With West as declarer, as Nea would have been, a heart lead would have been no problem. As long as declarer set up the club suit, 5S would have made. At teams, 6D was a worthwhile insurance against losing 10 IMPs. In last Friday’s pairs game, no other East/West pair bid against North/South’s 5D. Once Noela raised the bidding to 5S, there was nothing North/South could do to avoid a low score. Results Monday, 30/08/21 (6-table Mitchell): N/S N. Collins M. Simpson (60.5) 1; J. Rose P. Campbell (55.3) 2; J. Mobbs S. Goddard (50.9) 3. E/W B. Reid J. McKeen (53.1) 1; A. Macdonald F. Wells (53.0) 2; T. Graham D. Moran (51.7) 3 Friday, 03/09/21 (3 & 1/2-table Howell): N. Bonnell B. Bonnell (66.7) 1; T. Hinde J. Mobbs (63.5) 2; J. Rose D. Moran (61.5) 3.

Weekend in Brisbane to see Southern Cross Soloists By Jeremy Lister, Age 10 Recently Dad has been in Brisbane for work. He would normally stay in his room at parliament but that area of parliament is under maintenance. So he’s been staying at the united services club which is a club for apparently anyone who wants to join but mostly veterans. Dad has recently become a member and a couple of days ago he invited us to stay with him at the united service club for one night which we agreed to do on the weekend. Because I normally have my piano lesson on a Sunday we moved it to a Saturday morning. After that we went back home to pack and then we left. 28 TODAY Thursday, 9 September, 2021

Once we got to Ipswich we stopped at Springfield central (Orion) to get some lunch in the form of sushi and gelato. Once we got to Brisbane we picked up Dad and went to the Punjabi palace Indian restaurant for dinner. At the united services club Dad got the room right next to the reading room. The reading room had a chess set and all the latest army navy and air force newspapers and every military history book you could ever imagine. When I first saw it I was disappointed that I was only there for one night because I could spend hours in there. In the morning we went out to the shopping centre had breakfast and got some new books at the bookshop. The highlight of the weekend

was going to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) to see the Southern Cross Soloists (SXS) Dreams and Visions Concert. The SXS performed pieces by Vivaldi, Bruch, Saint-Saens, Debussy, Twist and Ravel. Some of the pieces were arrangements for a small group as there was only a piano, oboe, clarinet, French horn, flute, violin, viola, cello and in one piece a didgeridoo. I can’t wait for the next SXS concert in October but there is another concert coming up in Stanthorpe on 19 September with a soloist from Brisbane and Mum has got me a ticket.
