So long, farewell, until next time: North West Expo wraps up The dust has settled on another thrilling chapter of the North West Equestrian Expo, which wrapped up in Coonabarabran on Tuesday, 3 June, after five jam-packed days of competition.

by MOLLY SHANNON Now in its 33rd year, the much-loved event once again brought together hundreds of high-school r iders from across the state, showcasing talent, teamwork and the unmistakable spirit of the bush i n wh at has become Australia’s l a rgest a nd longest r u n n i n g i nt er s c ho ol equestrian competition.

There were 405 riders i n att enda nce th is year, representing 85 schools, however, recent flooding on the east coast affected attendance, with some riders unable to ma ke the jou r ney t o Coonabarabran.

With each rider typically bringing one or two parents, North West Equestrian Expo s e c r e t a r y, R e b e c c a Moxham, said there were around 150 0 to 20 0 0 people camping at the two venues – Showground and Racecourse – and staying in local motels.

"We have a lot of locals come up tp watch, there’s no entry fee and there's great food from Rotary or the B a ker y,” M rs Moxham said.

“People just wander around looking at things, it’s a bit of a spectacle, and then we have our grandparents and friends of competitors that come to watch as well.”

Expo is usually trademarked by cold and rainy weather, however, t h i s ye a r wa s q u it e different with only one shower occurring on the Monday night.

“It’s probably been the best five consecutive days of weather since we’ve been involved for the last

18 years, which I think makes it flow well,” Mrs Moxham said.

Final presentation S pi r it s we r e h i g h at t he pr e s e nt at i o n ceremony on Tuesday,

as riders collected their well-earned trophies and awards.

A f t er a wonder f u l parade, where schools donned their banners and paraded their ribbons

and shiny horses, the ceremony began.

Kevin Sharp, Expo chairman, addressed the crowd.

“Our aim is to provide an event which not only

o f fer s opp or t u n it ie s for r iders to develop their riding skills, but to also develop those personal and social skills which are important in you r development as

individuals,” Mr Sharp said.

“A n e v e nt o f t h i s m a g n it ude r e q u i r e s an enormous number of people and our he ad s t ewa r d s do a

magnificent job.

“It is to their credit that we were able to operate with little interruption.”

A different dirty: Native Title decision handed down Gamilaraay woman and community advocate, Suellyn Tighe, has expressed deep frustration and sadness in the wake of the recent National Native Title Tribunal determination allowing Santos’ contentious Narrabri Gas Project to proceed in the Pilliga Forest.

by KAIT BRITTON Speaking candidly in an interview with the Coonabarabran Times following the decision, Ms Tighe criticised the National Native Title Tribunal for what she describes as a betrayal of Aboriginal cultural rights and a failure to take genuine climate action.

The determination was handed down on Monday, 19 May,

with the Tr ibunal acknowledging that the project would be a significant greenhouse gas emitter.

However, the panel proceeded with app rova l, a rg u i ng that it was “in the public interest” due to a possibility of a gas shortage.

“It says it’s a ‘best interest’ and we are a pa r t of that ‘best i n t e r e s t ’, b u t o u r interests aren’t counted

– they’re discounted,” Ms Tighe said.

“It’s double hypocrisy.

“T h e N at i ve T it l e system has been manipulated and i t ’s n ot wo r k i n g fo r t h e p u r p o s e i t wa s intended.

“What we see is political influence and co r p o ra te i nte re s t s steering decisions that should protect our land and culture.”

Ms Tighe highlighted

the strategic release of the court’s determination – late at night and outside the med ia cycle – as emblematic of a process designed to avoid public scrutiny.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Polling booth statistics My congratulations to the North West Magazine of 8 May, included in your paper of the same date, for the Parkes Electorate polling booths voting figures.

Overall, the Nationals got 40% of the vote, and Labor about 20%, figures quite different to the state (32% and 35% respectively). And the percentages also different from booth to booth.

In general, it seems that the first three parties on the ballot paper (P.H. One Nation; Shooters, Farmers, Fishers; and the Greens) received 20-30% of the vote.

Amongst “the others” was a Libertarian candidate.

I understand she is from Coolah and had her ‘How to Vote” leaflets handed out there and at adjoining polling places – Dunedoo (yes), Mendooran, Binnaway and Tambar Springs.

Her figures from these five centres gives some indication of the effect this has (there is also her “personal” vote).

The informal vote was interesting, about 10% overall, ranging from as low as 2% to over 20% – but was generally about the average.

Some of this vote would have been due to failure to follow the voting instructions, but I fear more would have been due to a “none of them, but I’m not going to be fined for not voting” attitude.

It would be interesting to know how this compared

with last time, and what percentage of those on the roll actually voted.

Disillusionment with our democratic system, and our leaders, is not a good omen for Australia’s future.

Yours etc., John R. Horne Dunedoo 2844 (12.05.2025) Retail – what it’s about If you are a retailer of any description and you are successful, it’s fair to say you have purchased and paid for your choice of stock that you consider will appeal to your clientele. It’s a gamble. But that’s what retail is about, right? Your judgement about their needs.

However, we are being asked on Facebook to order and prepay for items before the owner can order it in.

Come on, surely you can bankroll the $3000 quoted just like everyone else does. If it doesn’t sell, then you have a “sale”, just like everyone else does.

Now, is it sill a good idea?

Am I missing something here, or is this the digital, modern way of retail that I am not aware of.

Yours etc., Terry Tighe Coonabarabran 2357 (02.06.2025)

Independent Planning Commission, the project was approved with vague conditions by the Tibunal.

These include a 5 0 0 - m et re s u r fa ce level exclusion zone and the p rom i se of a ranger prog ram – m e a s u re s M s T i g h e calls “toothless tigers” – a symbolic gesture that l ook s g ood on paper, but is ultimately ineffective and powerless. “ I t ’s n ot eve n a band-aid,” she said.

“It’s a saving grace dressed up in paternalism, telling us how we can connect to ou r Count r y, but ignoring how we actually do.”

T h e N a r ra b r i G a s Project site lies within the culturally significant Pilliga Forest, an area deeply tied to Gomeroi practices and stories, like the upside down river.

M s T ighe sa id the project was likely to cause i r reve r si b le d a m a g e to s a c re d topography, including the loss of culturally important landscapes that may no longer be visible or accessible.

Despite the ruling, Ms Tighe remains committed to resistance, calling for a shift in strategy.

Drawing on her experience with Grandmothers Against R e m o v a l s ( G M A R ), she stressed the need to “ow n th e m ed i a space,” educate the

public in accessible language and outmaneuver political spin.

“Gas is still dirty,” she said. “It’s just a different dirty.

“Because it’s invisible, people think it’s clean – but it’s contributing to climate change, just like coal.”

Looking ahead, she encouraged the local community to apply pressu re on governments, especially at the

Gamilaraay woman, Suellyn Tighe, speaking outside of NSW Parliament House in Sydney on Friday, 6 May.

“This isn’t the end,” Ms Tighe said. “ We j u s t h a ve to change tact.”

Chaffey declared for Parkes, vows to deliver for region Newly-declared Member for Parkes, Jamie Chaffey MP, has expressed relief at the official result being confirmed a month after election day and said he is eager to get to work representing the region and delivering for the diverse communities across the electorate.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) officially declared the poll result for the Parkes Electorate on T uesday, 3 Ju ne – a month on from election day.

“I am grateful for the oppor tu n ity t o ser ve the people of the Parkes electorate” Mr Chaffey said. “ O ver t he ele c t ion campaign I met so many incredible people, and I would like to thank everyone who gave me their vote and supported me during the campaign.

I am now looking forward to getting to work to fight for every single person in the Parkes electorate to make our area an even better place to live.”

Last week, leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud, announced his new Shadow Cabinet, with Mr Chaffey given t he r ole s of S h adow Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Shadow Assistant Minister for Resources.

“My new role in the Shadow Ministry will also give me a greater voice for the people of the Parkes electorate, which

is made up of diverse e c onom ies acr oss 2 0 local government areas, and the Unincorporated Fa r West A rea, w ith two of the major economic drivers being the ag r icu ltu ra l a nd resources sectors,” Mr Chaffey said.

“I also acknowledge

that people are doing it tough, and as I heard during the campaign, people are really concerned about the lack of access to childcare, hea lthca re a nd aged care. Once you leave the town boundaries it’s the state of our roads and telecommunications.

“ I want to see sustainable investment continue in the Parkes elect orate, i nclud i ng the I n land R a i l t o drive economic growth a nd ou r p opu l at ion ; that means the right projects i n the r ight locations across major infrastructure like road,

rail, air, processing and manufacturing.

“I want to see truly local, small and medium businesses supported, so that our locals are at the heart of our future success. That’s my vision for the Parkes electorate and one I’m keen to start advocating for.”

Paediatric care set to land in Coolah and Coonabarabran

Children across Warrumbungle Shire will soon have access to regular paediatric specialist care in Coolah, with monthly visits from a fly-in fly-out doctor coordinated by children’s charity Little Wings – and a Coonabarabran location is set to follow.

by KAIT BRITTON Little Wings chief executive of f ice r Cl a re Pea r so n co nf i r m ed th e cha r it y was in the f inal stages of establishing a new service in Coolah and was actively working on a similar rollout in Coonabarabran. “ W e’ r e n o t p u s h i n g back in any way, shape or form – we want to be in Coonaba rab ran,” Ms Pearson said.

“We just have to find the right space.”

The new initiative involves respected Sydneybased paediatrician and neonatal specialist, Dr Peter Campbell, flying in monthly to Coolah.

If successful, Dr Campbell will also travel to Coonabarabran on a separate day each month, providing much-needed local access to children’s

healthcare.

“This doctor, if everything goes smoothly in Coolah, is looking at offering a second day for Coonabarabran,” Ms Pearson said. “ F o r u s , w e’r e n ot a Medicare provider, we just connect with the doctor and take the doctor. So we need to have a space t h a t ’s s u i t a b l e t o s e e patients and also Medicare support – someone that can schedule the appointments, someone on the ground.

That’s how we know it will be successful.”

Coolah Medical Centre practice manager, Kathryn Rindfleish, who owns the surgery with her husband, Ra n d o l f, wa s d i re ct l y approached by Little Wings who were seeking a space for Dr Campbell.

Mrs Rindfleish said the service would be a gamech a n g e r fo r fa m i l i es i n Coolah and across the Shire,

with interest from families in Baradine, Dunedoo and Coonabarabran.

“Access to these services is vital for rural and remote communities,” Mrs Rindfleish said.

“In small rural communities there is no access to paediatrician services without long, timeconsuming and costly travel.

“This meant that families were forgoing these vital s e r v i ce s a n d t h a t h a d negative i mpacts on children’s health outcomes.”

While Mrs Rindfleish said it was difficult to predict how many local families would use the ser vice in the coming months, she anticipated strong demand.

“There is a willingness from the community that these services will be utilised, and the local hospital is in full support of this initiative,” she said.

“There are plans to look at expanding these services.

O nce we have these services, the challenge to any community is to retain them – and the only way to do that is to support them. “ We a re l o o k i n g to expand not only this service, b u t a l s o ot h e r s e r v i ce providers who are looking to come to Coolah.”

Back in Coonabarabran, Ms Pearson said the process of setting up a sustainable, l o n g - te r m c l i n i c co u l d take several months, as community partnerships, clinic space and support staff all need to be in place.

“We want the clinic to be sustainable, and if the process isn’t done correctly – if the setup isn’t supportive – then it will just fall over, and that’s more damaging for the community. This stopstart, stop-start,” she said.

She sa i d Coo l a h wa s chosen to kick things off first

simply because the town was “ready to go”. “ We h ave to h ave the communit y ready to go. It’s a full process.

Coonabarabran is actually at the top of our list, but we just have to go through the process,” she explained.

“We did have an offer for space from a school, but it doesn’t have all the medical things the doctor might need – scales, blood pressure machines – which means he has to bring it with him. And it doesn’t sound like a big deal, I know, but the easier you make it for the doctor, the more likely they are to continue to do it.”

D r Campbell’s involvement came after he saw a recent A Current Affair story about a Little Wings initiative at Warren.

“He actually saw us off the back of that news story and reached out to us,” Ms

Pearson said.

“When a doctor puts their hand up, we have to act really quick to keep them engaged – otherwise their load gets too big, or they move on. These are things we’ve seen before.”

M s Pe a r s o n s t r e s s e d that Little Wings is a small team of just eight staff, and that she and a local nurse were working as quickly as possible to bring the service to Coonabarabran.

“We’re working on it every day,” she said.

“We’re tr ying to wo r k through the process with the community. I know when you’re really passionate and you so deeply care about your community it’s frustrating – you just want it to happen. But we’re just trying to do the right thing and get it done as quickly as we can.”

Coolah Medical Centre will soon welcome Sydney-based paediatrician, Dr Peter Campbell, to the surgery once a month, thanks to support from Little Wings.

Another successful Expo concludes FROM FRONT Mr Sharp also gave sp e c i a l shout out t o Expo sponsors.

“Sponsorship by local and regional businesses has once aga i n been outstanding. “ O u r commu n ity realises how important this event is in promoting Coonabarabran and the Warrumbungle Shire i n genera l, a nd they generously support with sponsorship.”

Hundreds of locally sponsored rugs are highly-coveted by E xpo pa r ticipa nts, a ffectionately known as a ‘Coona Doona’.

E ac h ye a r, E x p o chooses a new colour theme to make the rugs unique, with the 2025 theme ba sed a r ou nd pink and grey.

Official Expo ‘merch’, including a new trucker cap and hoodie were also popular with riders.

Trophies were handed out, with one rider in particular shining bright.

P ip Cullen, f rom Calrossy A nglican S chool in Tamwor th, took home the 16 years

age champion and went on to claim the top prize – h ighest i nd iv idua l poi nt s c orer – a long w ith a slew of other awards.

R obin Hen r y, f rom New E n g l a nd G i rl s ’ School ( NEGS) in Armidale, was named highest individual point scorer runner-up.

Fresh start: Council offers 12 new local apprenticeships Warrumbungle Shire Council is set to welcome 12 new apprentices and trainees as part of the NSW Government’s Fresh Start program, a state-wide initiative designed to boost skills and employment opportunities in regional and rural areas.

The new apprentices and trainees will be hired across locations including Coonabarabran, Coolah and Dunedoo.

The available positions encompass a variety of roles, including: • Apprentice plumbers: Two positions located in Coonabarabran and Coolah, offering hands-on experience in maintaining essential water services.

• Trainee pool superintendent: A role focused on the management and operation of community swimming facilities.

• Civil construction a p p r e n t i c e s : Opportunities in Coolah and Dunedoo, providing training in infrastructure projects and roadworks.

Further opportunities are available in the areas of parks and gardens, children’s services, administration and more.

These positions are designed for individuals who enjoy practical, hands-on work and are eager to earn a

nationally-accredited qualification while contributing to their local communities.

Applicants are expected to have completed Year 12 (or Year 10 with at least two years of workforce experience), possess good physical fitness and hold a current NSW driver’s licence.

For outdoor roles, a White Card (General Construction Induction Certificate) is also required or must be obtained prior to commencement The $252 million Fresh Start program is a major investment by the NSW Labor Government, funding wages for an additional 1300 apprentices, trainees and cadets in the local government sector over the next six years.

Notably, 60 per cent of these roles are based in regional and rural councils, including Warrumbungle Shire.

The Fresh Start program is a direct response to long-

standing cost pressures on local government, providing councils with the resources to upskill workers and build local capacity.

NSW Labor Duty MLC for Barwon, Stephen Lawrence, has praised the program’s impact on regional communities.

“Hundreds commenced their new roles with councils across the state earlier this year, with more onboarding every month as councils fill roles to coincide with the start dates of a wide range of training programs,” Mr Lawrence said.

“The Fresh Start program enables students and school leavers to study and learn on the job while gaining a nationally accredited qualification.”

Applications for these roles close at 11pm on Monday, 9 June 2025. Interested candidates can find more information and apply through Council’s official website.

What prompted Warrumbungle Shire Council to offer such a wide range of apprenticeships and traineeships this year? Are they part-funded by State/Federal Government?

Warrumbungle Shire Council is committed to fostering local talent and addressing workforce needs within our community. Local Government has an ageing workforce and there are many areas of skills shortage that can be hard to fill and, as part of our Workforce Plan, Council identified the need to build capacity from within as much as possible. The decision to offer a broad spectrum of apprenticeships and traineeships stems from our strategic goal to build capacity across various sectors, ensuring sustainable service delivery for our residents.

How will these apprenticeship and traineeship oppo r tun i t ies benef i t t he Wa r rumbung le community as a whole?

By investing in local talent we’re not only providing individuals with valuable skills and qualifications, but also strengthening our community’s economic and social fabric. These roles help retain young people in the region, reduce unemployment and ensure that Council services are delivered by individuals who understand and are invested in the local area.

How do these initiatives fit into the Council’s broader commitment to workforce development and community growth?

These programs are integral to our Workforce Management Plan, which aims to develop a skilled, adaptable and sustainable workforce. By aligning training opportunities with community needs, we’re ensuring that our workforce evolves in tandem with the region’s growth and changing demographics.

What skills or attributes are you looking for in applicants for these positions?

We’re seeking individuals who are enthusiastic, committed and eager to learn. While specific requirements may vary depending on the role, qualities such as teamwork, communication skills and a strong work ethic are universally valued across all positions.

What kind of training and support will be offered to these apprentices and trainees?

Par ticipants will receive on-the -job training complemented by formal education through accredited institutions. Additionally, they’ll benefit from mentorship, regular feedback and support from experienced professionals within the Council, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

Is there a clear pathway for ongoing employment or career progression after completing one of these apprenticeships or traineeships?

While permanent employment at the end of the traineeship or apprenticeship is not guaranteed, many of our past trainees and apprentices have successfully transitioned into permanent roles within the Council or have used their qualifications to secure employment elsewhere. Our aim is to equip participants with the skills and experience needed for long-term career success.

What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about applying?

Don’t hesitate! Even if you feel you don’t meet every criterion, we encourage you to apply. These programs are designed to provide training and support, so a willingness to learn and grow is often more important than prior experience.

Pit stop with a purpose: Driver Reviver thanks volunteers Driver Reviver held a luncheon on Sunday, 25 May, to honour its volunteers and share this year’s achievements.

by MOLLY SHANNON Coonabarabran D r iver R ev iver was sta r ted by the L ions Club, but was eventually taken over in 2002 by Bev Rayner and the Girl Guides.

Driver Reviver aims to help reduce driver fatigue and road ac c ident s c au s e d by fat ig ue a nd , lo c a l ly, operat es over publ ic and school holidays to help weary drivers on the road.

The volunteers’ luncheon was held at the Coonaba rabran Club and organised by Mrs Rayner and driver r ev iver c o or d i n at or, Lynne Abbott.

Warrumbungle Shire m ay o r, C r K a t h r y n Rindfleish attended the event, along with her daughter, Sophie.

Cr Rindf leish gave a sma l l spe e ch

“It’s a great pleasure to be invited to th is lu ncheon w ith passionate volunteers,” Cr Rindfleish said, “ It ’s wo nde r f u l t o meet so many dedicated volu nt eers who a re passionate about working as a group and helping to train young people to follow in their footsteps.

“Driver Reviver is a valuable organisation t h at s ave s l ive s , s o thank you to you all.”

Guest speaker at the event was Magg ie Sha n non, a Coonaba rabran High S c h o o l s t ud e nt wh o writes poetry.

L a st ye a r, M agg ie won the Dorothea Mackellar Kurrumbede

Magg ie has also volunteered at Driver Reviver with her g r a nd m o t he r, Ja ne t Skimmings.

“To be able to talk at the luncheon was very lovely – to be able to share my experience and appreciation towards the volunteers of the Coonabarabran Driver R ev iver c om m it t e e ,” Maggie said.

“Being a young volunteer is such a great experience. To connect w it h t he c om mu n it y and build relationships within the community is very special –knowing I am helping out the travellers on the road by keeping them safe is such a heart-warming accomplishment.”

Guests enjoyed the lu ncheon , w ith the

pu mpk i n-a nd- ora nge soup being the standout dish.

M rs R ay ner a nd Mrs Abbott said they were proud of how this year’s luncheon went and were enthusiastic a b o ut t he f ut u r e o f Coonabarabran Driver Reviver. “ T he luncheon has b e en ver y g o o d , it ’s the only time we get everyone together,” Mrs Rayner said.

“Its really rewarding seeing who turns up, because we know a ll the faces and it’s very encourag ing to let volunteers know what is happening with the Driver Reviver – which is what our luncheon is about.”

T he event gave volunteers a chance to catch up, reflect on the ye a r ’s ac h ievement s and feel appreciated for their contributions to

New president for CWA of NSW Tanya Jolly, from the NSW Riverina region, has been elected the new president of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW. The announcement was made on Wednesday, 21 May, at the CWA of NSW’s State Conference in Wagga, after voting took place among the hundreds of delegates in attendance.

Ms Jolly is a member of the Barellan CWA of NSW branch and has been an association member for 28 years.

She’s held a range of executive positions, and has also held numerous executive roles at the group and state level.

She said she was honoured to take on the role of CWA of NSW president and was committed to working hard for the association’s 8000 members.

“I’m so proud members have selected me to lead the CWA of NSW. It’s a real privilege and I’m looking forward to continuing the enormous progress that has been made by our members over more than 100 years,” Ms Jolly said.

“At this year’s conference we’ve seen a record number of motions from our branches across the state, reflecting the range of concerns our members. Advocacy is a passion of mine and I’ll be working hard to help initiate the changes and improvements our members are calling for.

“Access to quality health care, the supply of secure housing, reliable telecommunications – no matter where you live in the state, and advocating for our farmers are issues I see as particularly important and which I’ll be working hard to take forward to policy-makers on behalf of our members and their communities.”

Outgoing president Joy Beames said it had

been an honour to lead the association and she thanked members for their support during her term.

“I take great pleasure in welcoming Tanya as the next president of the CWA of NSW and I know she will gain as much from the role as I have.

It’s an exciting time for our association and I’m pleased to continue being part of it.”

Tanya Jolly, from the Riverina, has been elected president of the CWA of NSW.

GUIDE LINES Buzzing with learning on World Bee Day The Coonabarabran Junior Guides were buzzing with excitement on Tuesday, May 20, as they celebrated World Bee Day with a fun and informative afternoon dedicated to our tiny pollinator heroes.

Special guest, Mal Unicomb joined the Guides to share his knowledge and passion for native bees, bringing along one of his native bee hives for the girls to observe up close.

The session offered fascinating insights – did you know there are over 20,000 species of bees worldwide, and Australia is home to around 2000 of them?

Many of these native species have evolved alongside Australian flora, with some plants relying on specific bees for pollination – meaning the loss of one could endanger the other.

Bees play a critical role in our environment

and food production.

Nearly two-thirds of Australia’s agricultural output benefits from bee pollination. Yet, bee populations face serious threats from habitat loss, intensive farming, pests and disease, putting this vital work at risk.

In a hands-on activity, leader-in-training Ava Hippisley showed the girls how to build their own bee hotels to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects into

their gardens. A big thank you to Ava and her mum, Natasha, for preparing the materials.

The day finished on a sweet note, with the Wattle Patrol making a batch of honey joys for everyone to enjoy, thanks to the help of special helper, Venessa Houley.

It was a wonderful way for the Guides to learn, create, and contribute to a more bee-friendly world.

The event brought t ogether st udent s from various schools t o showcase thei r sk i l ls a nd enjoy a d ay f i l le d w it h friendly competition.

From the outset, it wa s c le a r t h at the spirit of sportsmanship was alive and well.

Players lea r ned t o nav igate the conditions, leading t o some exciti ng plays and teamwork as they suppor ted each other on the

field.

Overall, the two days of trials were a resounding success.

It not only provided an opportunity for students to engage i n spor t , but a lso reinforced the values of teamwork, respect and sportsmanship.

T he Nor th West rugby union trial day, held in Tamworth at the P irates Rugby

Tooraweenah Preschool Club on Thursday, was an exhilarating event ma rked by t ough competition and wonderful sportsmanship.

Despite the cool temperatures, players from various schools came together to showcase their skills and vie for selection in the North West team to compete at the State Championships.

The cold weather added an extra layer of toughness to the d ay, w it h pl ayer s bat t l i n g not on ly their opponents but also the elements.

However, this d id not det er t he athletes – rather, it motivated them to push their limits and demonstrate thei r resilience.

The matches were fiercely

contested, with t e a m s d i s pl ay i n g determination and sk i l l. Players t ac k le d h a r d a nd played strategically.

Throughout the day, our players exhibited commendable sportsmanship. They congratulated each other on good plays, helped teammates up after tough tackles a nd ma i nta i ned a positive attitude.

C ong ratu lations to all of our students who played on this d ay, w i t h a v e r y significant mention to William Birtles.

W i l l i a m h a s n ow gained selection in the North West team.

Cong ratulations to William and best of luck at the State Rugby Union Championships.

We have had a very busy few weeks with lots of exciting things happening at Tooraweenah Preschool!

We have been enjoying our weekly ‘Bush Preschool’ sessions and have discovered our creek is down and the water doesn’t flow like it used too, so we cannot find or catch yabbies like we have done so previously. We’ve enjoyed exploring the paddock and each week the children have been trying to find a “better path” so we can avoid as much umbrella grass as possible. Our newly purchased sock-savers have been great!

We loved the Meerkat Productions Puppet Show ‘Good Things Come In Threes’ that we saw with our school friends on Friday, 16 May. We enjoyed three different stories, ‘The Three Little Pigs’, ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and ‘The Three Bears’ told in three different ways, using shadow puppets, hand puppets and marionettes. This

was an amazing show and there was a lot of audience participation involved as well, much to the delight of everyone in the audience. It was a fabulous way for our friends to see and hear well known stories, and a great way to extend our imaginations!

We received a special parcel from ‘Books 4 Outback’ when they came to Tooraweenah, giving Tooraweenah Preschool and our children lots of preloved books: with each friend taking two books home to keep, leaving the rest of the books at preschool for our inside book shelf and our outdoor ‘Book Box’. We were also delighted to receive some lovely new toys, including a lady beetle cushion ( th e sa m e a s o u r preschool logo), and a big teddy bear for our book area that we have named ‘Dusty’.

How fortunate are we that Neil and the team at ‘Books 4 Outback’ included Tooraweenah Preschool friends in their visit. Wow! We’ve enjoyed

N a t i o n a l Simultaneous Story Time with Tooraweenah Public School friends and had a fabulous time with Josh and Healthy Harold when they visited last week. Our preschool friends were very good at helping Healthy Harold with various jobs and tasks he needed to do throughout his busy day. Children were delighted to receive a small notepad and tattoo each, and we now have our very own Healthy Harold toy at preschool to help us remember all about staying healthy and safe.

Our current investigation is based on machines and engines and ‘power’ after a question from one of our songs that we sing, ‘She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain’, and one friend wondering what it meant when we sang ‘She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes’?

This has started a big discussion about using horses and carriages before cars, engines and other

machines, and has morphed into chats about all the different farming machines that we know about – and then someone mentioned “horsepower”, which has got all of us thinking about horses and power and engines. We will keep researching!

Congratulations to our educator, Kristy Hicks. We are very excited to learn that Miss Kristy has been nominated as a finalist for the 2025 NSW Vocational Student of the Year category in the New England region after a successful interview process in Tamworth in April.

The winner from the finalists selected will be announced at a special dinner in Tamworth on Friday, 13 June. Well done Miss Kristy – you are already a winner as far as Tooraweenah Preschool is concerned! We can’t wait to hear all about your fabulous awards’ night in Tamworth.

Best wishes from Tooraweenah Preschool children, staff and families!

Guest speaker visit On Thursday, 22 M ay, o u r 3 /4 / 5 / 6 classroom welcomed James a nd Petr ia C a me r o n a s p a r t of their studies on space. James shared his fascinating experiences at Siding

Spring Observatory, providing students with unique insights into the wonders of the Universe.

The students were eager to learn from James, who brought a long a wea lth of k nowledge about space and astronomy.

His engaging presentation sparked curiosity and inspired many students to extend their knowledge.

This visit not only enriched the students’ u nde r s t a nd i n g o f their curriculum, but also reinforced the

importance of realworld experiences in learning. We were thrilled to have James back at the school and the engagement in the classroom was evident as students asked questions and extended their knowledge of space.

We e x t e n d o u r si ncere tha n ks t o James a nd Petr ia for taking the time to share their knowledge with us. It was a memorable day that will undoubtedly inspire our students for years to come!

Ya am a m a liya a (hello friends).

To celebrate World Bee Day at Yuluwirri, the 0-2 years environment buzzed with excitement as the babies explored br i g ht yel low, glittery playdough, wings, pipe cleaners and flowers to create their own little bees. A cheerful bee rhyme accompanied thei r i mag i n at ive play as bees “f lew” from f lower to f l o w e r, s p a r k i n g conversations about honey and the cleverness of bees.

In the preschool env i r on ment , t he classroom was transformed into a vibrant, bee-inspired learning space.

Child ren explored a sensory tray with yel low playdough, p e t a l s a nd p a s t a “honeycombs,” suppor ting f ine mot or sk i l ls a nd creativ it y. A bee themed board game encouraged number recog nition and social interaction, wh i le the block area became a construction zone for “bee houses.”

Later, the children wat ched a v ide o a b out p ol l i n at ion and bee ecology and had lots of questions for their educators.

In a sustainabilityf o c u s e d a c t i v i t y, children built a bee hotel using recycled bottles and natural materials, promoting c ol l ab orat ion a nd environmental awareness. The day offered rich, handson lea r n ing wh i le c e l e br at i n g b e e s ’ v it a l r o l e i n o u r world.

Kangaroos alone at the top!

The re- and-white colours of both the Coolah Kangaroos first-grade side and the Coolah Flyers league-tag side sit atop their respective Castlereagh League competition tables alone and undefeated as the 2025 season approaches the halfway mark.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE The Kangaroos’ firstgrade side retained the competition lead and the Boronia Cup when they downed the Baradine M ag pies 3 4 t o 14 at Coolah last Saturday.

Meanwhile, in league tag, the Flyers brushed aside a Baradine side that had been sitting equa l se c ond on the ladder going into the game, the final score being 32 to nil.

While the ‘Roos have be en ac c u mu l at i ng competition points at a rapid rate, it has been a more difficult task for the Warren Bulldogs’ f i rst-g rade side i n their comeback to the C a s t ler e a g h L e a g ue c o mp e t it i o n a f t e r a lengthy hiatus. But, last Saturday, they battled it out with the Coonamble Bears and came away with a 26 -all draw – much to the delight of their home crowd.

The Bulldogs’ leaguetag side started what was to be the club’s most productive day to date on a good note, registering their third win of the season to move them into equal fifth spot on the competition ladder.

T hey sha re that position with the Cobar Roosterettes, who went down 44 to 16 against the Dunedoo Swannettes at

Cobar last Saturday. But while the Swannettes claimed victory, their first-grade side did not, losi ng a ha rd-fought battle to the Roosters, 36 to 22.

The Roosters held a two-point lead at half time, that being 18 to 16, but the Swans managed to get ahead after the resumption of play with a converted try, before the home side gradually edged ahead as the game progressed to claim what was an important win for them – one that sees them with a share of the third rung on the competition ladder.

W h i le b e at en , t he Swans would have taken some positives out of the game, coming off what has been a couple of disastrous recent weeks for them and going into it without their captaincoach Sam Coe, who was injured.

T h e e f f o r t s h o u ld ensure that they take a deg ree of renewed con f idence into their round seven game against the C oonaba rabran Unicorns after the long weekend, a game that could have a big bearing on the final positioning of the two teams at the end of the competition rounds.

At Cale Oval,

Na r r om i ne ’s le ag ue tag side successfully defended the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup against Gulgong, winning 40 points to 6, while under lights at Coonabarabran on F r id ay even i n g, t he Unicorns’ league-tag side notched up a 22-10 win over Gilgandra.

While the Jets’ firstg rade side was not s o d om i n a nt on t he scoreboard, they also secured a victory over the Bull Terriers, the score being 34 to 24. Corey Cox, the Jets’ captaincoach and second rower, crossed for four of his side’s six tries as well as slotting five goals to personally outscore the Gulgong total by two points in a very strong individual performance!

There will be a general bye this weekend before the competition resumes on 14 June.

T he in-form Dubbo apprentice Z oe Hu nt fol lowed a double at Brewarrina and another winner at Bathurst with two winners – Joanesski and Hit Song, for Nikki Pollock – at Cobar.

L eading all the way, Joanesski ($2.30 favourite) lasted to beat M ih r imah (A ndrew Banks, $10) by a short half head, with Lost Media (Ken D u n ba r, $17 ) t h i r d ,

in the Benchmark 58 Handicap.

In the 1200 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap, Zoe Hunt and Nikki Pollock completed a good day when Hit Song ($3.20 favourite) f inished best to beat the leader, Loud (Ken D u nba r, $ 4 .4 0), a nd Rylstone Rocket (Nyssa Burrells, $15).

Another Dubbo jockey riding with plenty of recent success is Wendy Peel, who brought the Connie Greig trained Blackhill Kitty ($4.40) with a well-timed run from midfield to account for Maralago (Zoe Hunt, $6) and Benyatta (Nyssa Burrells, $4.60) in the 1370 metres Benchmark 45 Handicap.

Boggabri Coonabarabran Gunnedah Moree Narrabri

Councils support health split-up Narrabri, Moree Plains and Tamworth Shires are united in supporting a proposed split-up of the Hunter New England Local Health District.

Councils from the North West made submissions as part of an inquiry conducted for the Health Services Amendment (Splitting of the Hunter New England Health District) Bill 2025 tabled in parliament by Member for Barwon Roy Butler.

Mr Butler’s expansive electorate includes Narrabri Shire on the western edge of the district.

In their submissions, councils voiced concern about the state of local health services and a need for reliable, high quality infrastructure within closer reach.

“Currently, the region relies heavily on the John Hunter Hospital as a Level 6 tertiary facility.

For serious and complex medical cases, this link provides vital access—patients from Moree can reach John Hunter within

approximately six hours, a connection not afforded to many rural areas. However, in practice, this system is increasingly strained,” Moree Plains Shire mayor Susannah Pearse said in the council’s submission.

“Patients are at times first diverted to Tamworth Hospital, only to be redirected again to John Hunter. This double diversion reflects a systemic lack of resourcing and coordination, and adds stress, delay, and risk to critical care pathways.

“The impact on local families and carers is considerable. For example, residents from Mungindi, Boggabilla or Toomelah in our shire’s north face a journey of more than 600km to reach John Hunter Hospital—a distance that is not only cost and time prohibitive, but one that significantly impairs access to consistent support, follow-up care, and family presence during treatment.”

Narrabri Shire unveils campaign to attract big retailers to region It’s all about the simple things in life, and sometimes that is a pair of socks and jocks. Narrabri Shire Council has launched a new retail attraction campaign with a cheeky twist for a very serious issue at hand.

Despite being one of Australia’s top cotton-producing regions, residents of Narrabri Shire can not even buy basic, affordable cotton essentials like bras, socks or jocks in their own town, council said as part of its newly-launched retail promotion.

Last week, council and community members gathered at The Exchange Narrabri for the retail campaign launch. The message is clear – Narrabri is calling for a major retailer to set up shop in town and #BringBackOurSocksAndJocks.

Narrabri Shire Council small business liaison officer Gillian Goddard is at the heart of this campaign, with ongoing support from members of council. Economic development officer Bill Birch, mayor Darrell Tiemens and general manager Eloise Chaplain have all been banding behind Gilly in this initiative.

Cr Tiemens shared that the campaign is about more than socks and jocks, it is also about closing the retail gap between regional and metro areas.

Stills from Narrabri Shire Council’s newly-launched retail attraction campaign.

“It’s time retailers recognised the growing need in regions like ours.

Narrabri Shire produces cotton that clothes the country, yet our families are driving hours just to buy socks and undies. We’re not asking for luxury – we’re asking for basics,” Cr Tiemens said.

Beyond attracting more retailers to Narrabri, the council hopes the

campaign will spark a larger national conversation about access and equity.

“Narrabri Shire grows the nation’s fibre, quite literally. So, the idea that we can’t even buy socks and jocks in town? It’s laughable,” Cr Tiemens said.

Council also stated the fact that Narrabri Shire is home to nearly

13,000 people and generates an annual economic output of almost $6 billion. As well as supporting 6900 jobs in the production of key industries including cotton, grain, wool, beef, coal mining and gas.

Council’s general manager Eloise Chaplain expressed all of the attributes Narrabri Shire has to offer and why they do have the

best location for a major retailer.

“As an economically strong and resilient community, we are more than contributing to the nation’s bottom line,” Eloise Chaplain said.

“We have a stable workforce, a growing population, and a 20-year rezoning strategy to deliver 2100 new homes and a vibrant new CBD centre. This is the ideal environment for a major retailer ready to expand.”

After the speeches, Ms Goddard gave the crowd a screening of the new promotional video. This puts the problem into a humorous context with locals forced to take the drastic steps in making their own clothes from the ample raw cotton available – quite a metaphorical statement.

The promotional video has been posted on the Narrabri Shire Council Facebook page as well as the social media channels of The Courier, Narrabri Shire’s newspaper for 112 years and sister publication of the North West Magazine.

Council has urged the community to share it around in hopes of reaching out to a wider audience.

“We’ve had a bit of fun highlighting the issue, but the message is serious: it’s time for a major retailer to come back and support us,” Cr Tiemens said.

Moree Plains, Narrabri, Tamworth shires united in supporting health district split Continued from front page

Cr Pearse said these factors contribute to poorer health outcomes and compound existing rural and Indigenous disadvantage.

“By contrast, Tamworth is under 400km away—a significantly more manageable distance that would provide the region with a much more accessible and realistic tertiary care hub,” Cr Pearse wrote in the submission.

“Meanwhile, service levels at Moree District Hospital have declined. The maternity unit is frequently on bypass due to staffing shortages in key roles including midwives, GP anaesthetists, and GP obstetricians.

“At present, just one resident GP obstetrician doctor supports the region, with locum assistance. We have seen shifts at the hospital increasingly filled by locum doctors, from 100 per cent filled by local GPs in 2014 with 14 local GPs dropping to seven. During a resident’s recent call to the emergency department to ask if a radiographer was on duty to x-ray an injured child, the switch responded ‘I can do you one better, we don’t have a doctor on.’

“While access to the John Hunter facility remains essential, it underscores a broader issue—our region requires reliable, high-quality healthcare infrastructure closer to home. Any structural change to the HNEHD must address this critical need.”

Moree Plains Shire indicated its support for the proposed health district split-up on the condition that it is accompanied by substantial investment in regional infrastructure in the New England region — specifically, the upgrade of Tamworth Hospital to a Level 5 or 6 tertiary facility, with full resourcing.

“A growing region like ours requires a robust, regionally based clinical hub to reduce pressure on stretched local services and anchor a tiered, sustainable network of care,” Cr Pearse said.

Narrabri Shire Council’s submission, jointly signed by mayor Darrell Tiemens and general manager Eloise Chaplain, said the current system is considered to be currently ‘broken’.

“The sheer geographical size of the responsible organisation, extending from Newcastle to the Queensland border is simply unworkable,” Narrabri Shire’s submission read.

“This is creating significant ongoing health equity and access challenges and overall poorer health outcomes. It is an unfortunate and distressing statistic that, if you live in the Narrabri local government area you can expect to die earlier than both your surrounding LGAS and metropolitan counterparts.

“In the case of the Hunter New England Health District, Narrabri Shire became part

of the amalgamation of the New England and Hunter area health services in 2005. It now forms part of the Hunter New England Health District which administers to a population of close to one million people across an area of more than 130,000 square kilometres.

“Newcastle, as the administrative and service focus is a six hour drive away from Narrabri with limited, and at times unreliable, public transport options.”

Council highlighted particular pressures on the Wee Waa community through the reduction of services at the town’s hospital.

Council, along with Mr Butler, have long advocated for a need for full services at Wee Waa. In its submission, council described community sentiment and anger in relation to a reduction of services at the Wee Waa Hospital as “palpable”.

“The landing page of the Save Wee Waa Hospital website provides an insightful snapshot of the community’s views: ‘With no assigned doctors, no after-hours emergency care, and no patients in its wards, it is hard to lake the feeling that Hunter New England Health has every intention of shutting this hospital down’. These concerns reflect an ongoing gradual reduction of essential local health services through centralisation of services to regional centres and cities,” the council submission read.

Tamworth Regional Council, which would

serve as the centre-point of a new North West/New England health district if the split-up did occur, also indicated its support for what has been proposed.

“Council is not confident this bill will in itself solve all of the health care issues in our region, however, council does firmly believe that health care decisions related to our large and diverse region should be made by a body that is connected to, and resides within, the region and not in Newcastle,” Mayor Russell Webb wrote in Tamworth

Regional Council’s submission.

“The Hunter New England Health District is an enormous region that stretches from Newcastle to the Queensland border. HNEH attempts to service 25 local government areas, with a combined population of more than 950,000 people and is the only health district in the state that is expected to deliver rural and remote services from a metropolitan base.”

Cr Webb said council believes the current approach where all of its local residents are diverted to the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle for specialist care has resulted in the gradual but consistent decline of local hospitals.

Gunnedah Shire Council had tabled its submission at a meeting in April. The document also indicated its support for a health district split.

However, councillors voiced concern that there was a lack of information behind the district split.

Rather than adopting the motion set out in the agenda, to make a submission, councillors agreed to flag with the Minister for Health and the Hunter New England Local Health District the results of a survey which shows “there is a complete lack of trust [and] support from them for our health services within this district”.

In the neighbouring regions, Inverell Shire indicated it was taking a neutral position in regards to the proposed health district split while Uralla Shire said the structure of the LHD is not the issue and that the allocation of resources was the concern. Uralla Shire said it would not support a proposed division. Gwydir Shire, however, has backed splitting the health district.

Splitting up the Hunter New England Local Health District would be disruptive, costly and detrimental to communities, the organisation’s chief executive officer has told a parliamentary inquiry.

The organisation also estimates a split-up would cost an additional $111 million on top of the current $201 million annual operational, governance and administrative costs. In the health district’s submission on the proposed split-up, chief executive officer Tracey McCosker PSM said such a change would not address their most pressing challenge – workforce shortages.

“This is a nationwide issue affecting all sectors but is felt most acutely in regional

and rural areas like the North West of NSW,” Ms McCosker said.

“Forcing a separation between the Hunter and New England regions would fragment our workforce, duplicate systems, and reduce our flexibility to deploy staff and resources where they’re needed most.

“Rather than improving recruitment, it would create instability and reduce access to care, particularly in the communities already facing the greatest barriers.”

Ms McCosker said the current structure allows the organisations to share specialist expertise, invest in innovation, and deliver care as close to home as possible, even amid ongoing health system challenges.

Waste centres now Researcher of the Year open across region finalists announced Northern Inland Regional Waste (NIRW) is advising households that services have now resumed at all Community Recycling Centres.

Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) are permanent drop-off centres for common household problem wastes that can’t be collected via council kerbside waste and recycling collection services.

Householders can drop off problem wastes at CRCs all year round, free of charge.

A fire at Cleanaway’s St Mary’s chemical waste facility on February 4, 2025, had disrupted household problem waste disposal services across NSW, impacting Household Chemical CleanOut events and Community Recycling Centre (CRC) operations.

The St Mary’s facility is a key processing site for household problem waste, including paint, gas bottles, batteries, cooking oils, and other materials commonly collected from CleanOut events and CRCs, services jointly run by local councils and the NSW EPA. Due to the temporary closure of the St Mary’s facility, the following services were impacted locally across the New England North West NSW region: • Household Chemical CleanOut events that were scheduled for March 2025 • Community Recycling Centre (CRC) services were closed or operating with reduced services The NSW EPA has been working with Cleanaway and local councils to resume all services now that it is safe to do so.

Northern Inland Regional Waste (NIRW) are also working to reschedule the Household Chemical CleanOut events for later this

year. This mobile collection service helps you safely dispose of a range of household chemical products, including household cleaners, pool and hobby chemicals and pesticides. CleanOut events are usually held annually across the region. New dates to be advised soon.

All residents in the New England North West region can drop off problem wastes at their local Community Recycling Centre (CRC) all year round, free of charge.

What can you take to a CRC? • Paint • Motor and other oils • Household batteries • Gas bottles • Smoke detectors • Fire extinguishers • Car batteries • Fluoro globes and tubes • Aerosols Only household quantities of these materials will be accepted.

As a guide, this is a maximum container of 20 litres or 20 kilograms for each waste type.

Handle and transport your items carefully. Protect your vehicle by placing items on a protective sheet or tray in the boot to capture any leakages or breakages.

Most of the items accepted at Community Recycling Centres can be reused or recycled. Sorting waste and taking it to a recycling centre: • Helps improve recycling rates • Saves water, energy and other valuable natural resources There are 11 CRCs in operation across the region including Armidale and Guyra, Glen Innes, Gunnedah, Inverell, Moree, Narrabri, Tamworth, Tenterfield, Uralla and Walcha.

Cotton Australia has announced the award finalists for the Cotton Seed Distributors Researcher of the Year Award, recognising the intelligence, commitment and passion that researchers have for the Australian cotton industry.

The three finalists this year are Dr Katie Broughton, research scientist at CSIRO Agriculture and Food in Narrabri; Lou Gall, CottonInfo technical lead and executive officer for Gwydir Valley Irrigator Association; and Dr Murray Sharman, principal plant pathologist (virology) at Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (Queensland).

Dr Katie Broughton’s world leading research has focussed on understanding the impacts of climate change on cotton production and developing sustainable agronomic practices.

Currently she leads projects that explore innovative solutions, such as the use of novel plant growth hormones to enhance cotton yield and resilience. Her work not only contributes to scientific knowledge but also provides practical strategies for farmers to adapt to environmental challenges.

Lou Gall has been involved in the cotton industry since 1990.

She led the irrigation extension program to improve on farm water use efficiency by extending the latest research and demonstrating irrigation technologies, automation and designs. Working closely with CRDC researchers, research organisations, irrigation designers and engineers, she continues to play an important role developing campaigns, workshops, field days and research forums to deliver irrigation information.

Dr Murray Sharman oversees national virology diagnostics and research and plays a crucial role in biosecurity preparedness for viruses that may affect the cotton industry. One example is Cotton Bunchy Top Virus (CBTV) where his work has greatly advanced the understanding of the issue in cotton. In collaboration with the CSIRO, he identified new hosts and two genetically distinct strains of CBTV in Australia, leading to new cotton varieties being released for commercial production that have resistance to CBTV. Cotton Australia general manager Michael Murray said the three finalists, all current or previous CRDC-supported researchers/ extension officers, have demonstrated a combined commitment of close to 80 years in their efforts to improve the cotton industry in Australia.

“Research is at the core of the current strength and global competitiveness of Australian cotton so the efforts and importance of all involved in research cannot be overstated,” Mr Murray said.

“We are very honoured that the Australian cotton industry attracts very bright and dedicated individuals playing an integral role in advancing cotton in very different ways, and history shows that when you work in the rewarding field of cotton research, many stay for years, knowing their excellent work is making a real difference to farmers.”

Lou Gall, CottonInfo technical lead and executive officer for Gwydir Valley Irrigator Association.

Dr Katie Broughton, research scientist at CSIRO Agriculture and Food in Narrabri.

This year the finalists were chosen from a diverse range of backgrounds, with every nominee making exceptional contributions.

The nominees cover such areas as climate change and its impact on cotton production, sustainable agronomic practices, the use of novel plant growth hormones in cotton systems to optimise plant growth and yield, and virology diagnostics and research in biosecurity preparedness for viruses that may affect the cotton industry.

“It’s understandable that growers are celebrated whenever we produce a national crop of top-level sustainable cotton, thereby making an important economic contribution to our economy and their own local economies. This Cotton Seed Distributor sponsored award recognises the role that science and research plays in the process, and the important part that growers themselves play in feeding back their own needs into the research decisions,” Mr Murray said.

Dr Ian Taylor, CEO of Wee Waabased Cotton Seed Distributors (CSD), said the organisation is proud to support the Researcher of the Year Award in recognition of the vital role research plays in the future of Australian cotton.

“Research underpins everything we do, from seed development to supporting growers with tools and knowledge that helps them adapt and succeed in an ever-changing environment,” Dr Taylor said.

“We have enormous respect for our research community. This year’s three finalists highlight the breadth and depth of cotton research in Australia, from enhancing biosecurity and disease

diagnostics, to improving irrigation efficiency, and developing strategies to adapt to climate variability. Their work is not only advancing scientific understanding, but delivering practical, on-farm solutions that improve productivity, sustainability and long-term resilience for our growers.”

“The CSD Researcher of the Year Award celebrates these achievements and shines a light on the scientists and innovators who are helping deliver meaningful outcomes for cotton growers and ensuring the industry remains globally competitive and future focused.”

NSW Farmers welcome focus on state’s feral animal problem NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin says all options need to be on the table to tackle the state’s feral animal problem, welcoming comments from the Premier.

Last week, NSW Premier Chris Minns suggested the NSW government would be open to bounties and other measures to control feral animals that were causing increasing damage to both farmland and the natural environment.

“The problem of feral animals – such as pigs – is an escalating concern for farmers, and we would welcome a shared responsibility, including additional funding, to control these nasty pests,” Mr Martin said.

“Feral pigs, for example, cause millions in damage each year.

They attack people and animals, they tear up paddocks, destroy fences, they really are incredibly nasty animals.

“It’s not just pigs – wild dogs and cats are a perennial problem that need to be controlled, and feral

deer are an increasing problem.

“Online commentators who suggest we don’t need additional efforts in this area are seriously out of touch with the realities of the landscape.”

NSW had the highest number of feral mammal species in the nation, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, costing farmers millions each year in damage and production losses.

More funding to deliver coordinated, long-term, cross-tenure pest control programs across the state were critical, Mr Martin said, and all options needed to be on the table, including bounties, baits, trapping and aerial culls.

“We know animal pests are expected to cause damages in excess of $489 million annually by next year,” he said.

“That’s a staggering amount of money, and that’s why we welcome the Premier’s approach to look at every option to slash the number of feral animals.”

Four boys arrested after alleged break-in, car theft and pursuit in Moree Police news Four boys have been arrested after they allegedly broke into a home, stole a car and were involved in a pursuit in Moree.

Officers attached to New England Police District were called to a home on Adelaide Street about 8pm on Friday, May 30, and were

told the premises had been broken into and a utility stolen.

Police established a crime scene and an investigation was initiated under Operation Soteria.

A short time later, police saw the ute being driven along Anne Street. When the driver allegedly failed to stop when directed a pursuit was initiated. It continued until officers successfully deployed road spikes on Edward Street,

and the car stopped on Florence Street.

Four boys allegedly travelling in the ute were arrested and taken to Moree Police Station.

The alleged driver – a 14-yearold boy – was charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly, drive conveyance taken without consent of owner, enter vehicle or boat without consent of owner, negligent driving,

never licensed person drive vehicle on road, driver not wear seatbelt properly adjusted and fastened, and drive with one passenger seatbelt/restraint not properly fastened.

A second 14-year-old boy was charged with enter vehicle or boat without consent of owner and be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner.

Two other boys – aged 11 and 12

– were both dealt under the Young Offenders’ Act. The alleged driver was refused bail and appeared via audio-visual link in Parramatta Children’s Court on Saturday, May 31, where he was bail refused to appear in a children’s court on Monday, June 2. The second boy was granted strict conditional bail to appear before a children’s court on Thursday, June 19.

Golf day raises $21K for rescue helicopter service

By JEN MITCHELL

journalist@gunnedahtimes.com.au

A total of $21,000 was raised for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service last by Gunnedah and golf lovers.

About 140 players took to the Gunnedah Golf Club to raise money for the charity that provides emergency flight services across Northern NSW. Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Gunnedah Support Group didn’t aim for a particular dollar amount raised, but was pleased with the result.

Event coordinator Robin Capp relayed her gratitude toward contributors who were willing to support the golf day.

“I think particularly with the cost of living being so high for people, to have the sort of community support from Gunnedah businesses and residents has been absolutely outstanding,” she said.

“You see [the Westpac Rescue Helicopter] flying off somewhere and you think thankfully we have it.”

The group’s president, Robyn Howarth, echoed that sentiment through her thanks to the golfers, sponsors, volunteers, the golf club and those who donated for their generosity.

“Our group of volunteers have been so impressed with the generosity,” she said.

“It’s great being part of a

community that contributes to the wellbeing of others.”

“Your support … is invaluable for keeping the helicopter flying.”

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service flew 458 missions from the Tamworth base in the last financial year. Its coverage starts as far west as Lightning Ridge and Walgett to the Queensland border and as far south as the Hawkesbury River.

Charity events, such as the golf day, help the rescue helicopter to continue operating without cost to the patient.

A recent example given was of an eight-year-old boy who was charged by a cow near Mullaley in which the helicopter service was able to transport him to Newcastle.

It was also needed recently, when a man in his 30s fell from a horse on a property west of Gunnedah.

Later in the day was an auction conducted by Hunter Harley with items donated by businesses and supporters. $10,000 donation A notable contribution came from Wendy Mortimer who was responsible for a $10,000 donation to the helicopter service.

She applied for the Live Your Dream program, which gives Komatsu employees the opportunity to apply for funds to a charity of their choice. Komatsu was also the

major sponsor of the day.

“This initiative aims to empower our people to give back to causes that have personally impacted them,” Wendy said.

She won the funding for Westpac Rescue Helicopter and emphasised her gratitude in receiving it out of all employees in NSW. She told her son’s story. Born in the 90s with a rare heart condition in which the local hospital was

unequipped to keep him alive if something went wrong.

During this time, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was in its infancy. Wendy had to live driving between Sydney and home. Since then, he has had two “very successful” surgeries and will need one every 10 years. While they did not personally use the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, she saw it as an important service.

“I want to make sure no parent goes through what I had to go through,” she said. “That is why [the] donation is not just financial - it’s deeply personal.”

She hopes the funds will go to cardiac equipment for children or anyone who needs it.

“The community is what keeps the helicopter going and Gunnedah is very generous in supporting,” Wendy said.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Gunnedah Support Group president Robyn Howarth accepts a $10,000 donation from Wendy Mortimer. They are pictured with Pam Shaw, Heather Welch, Deb Buck, Chris Frend, Heather Stephens, Dale Bailey and Robin Capp.

Because that’s what facts do. They get in the way of wild theories, sensational headlines, and stories that are just too good to be true. And that’s the point.

Real journalism isn’t about chasing clicks or stirring outrage.

It’s about accountability. It’s about getting the story right, not just being the first to talk about it.

It’s about knowing your community and knowing what matters most.

Because when the truth matters, shortcuts don’t cut it.

We believe facts make stories stronger, not weaker.

That’s why everything we publish is grounded in independence, integrity and an unwavering commitment to accuracy and the community we are part of.

Truth isn’t a single person’s point of view.

It’s a responsibility. And it’s one we take seriously.
