TRAGEDY IN COONABARABRAN

Police investigate deaths of two young boys WARNING: This story contains content that readers may find distressing The tragic deaths of two young boys in Coonabarabran earlier this week is being treated as a double murder investigation, with a 66-year-old woman known to to the children, arrested at the scene.

Just a f t er 2pm on Monday, 5 May, police responded to a concern for welfare at a home on Emu L ane, nor th of Coonabarabran in Tandara Estate.

Upon arrival, officers from the Orana MidWestern Police District discovered the bodies of

two children, aged six and seven, inside the home.

The boys’ 66-year-old maternal grandmother a nd s ole c a r er, wa s arrested at the scene after attempting to selfharm.

S he wa s t a ken t o Coonabarabran Hospital

and later transferred to a mental-health facility in Orange, where she remains under guard.

Spea k i ng outside Coonabarabran Police S t at ion on T ue s d ay morning, NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland described the scene as “very confronting,” with officers required to force entry to the house. “ T hey were f i rst confronted with the body of a young six-year-old boy who was located in the front bedroom,” A/ Commissioner Holland said.

“They then located the 66-year-old woman, who had attempted self-harm at that location.

“She was placed under

arrest at that time and then, from that point, police took a further search of the house and located the second young child.”

A /Commissioner Holland said the forensic e x a m i n at i o n o f t h e scene was u nder way a nd det e c t ives wer e c ont i nu i ng t o t a ke statements from people who h ad k now n t he family “for an extended period of time”.

While formal charges are yet to be laid, he confirmed the woman was likely to face serious charges once her condition allows for transfer back to custody.

She is currently being detained for medical and psychological assessment.

A /Commissioner Holland emphasised that there was no ongoing threat to the public and that pol ice were not seeking any other persons in relation to the deaths.

A s t he r e we r e n o physical injur ies observed, a post-mortem examination of the boys is scheduled for today, Thursday, 8 May, with the pathologist findings crucial in determining the cause of death.

W hen asked by Coonabarabran Times what he would say to a community struggling t o comprehend the tragedy, A/Commissioner Holland said an event of this nature affected a community in a very, very hard way.

“A death in a small community has an impact on the whole community.

The death of two young, innocent boys has a major impact. “ W hat people need to understand is that if people are dealing with medical issues, they need to make contact, they need to get support, they need to get the proper counselling that they require.

“A nd, obv iously, to speak out is probably the biggest thing.”

A /Commissioner Holland also commended the young off icers involved in the discovery of the children.

“The scene would have been confronting, and knowing that they have

been impacted by that, we a re ma k i ng su re that they are receiving the support they need through our counselling services and through our chaplains. “ T he y ne e d t o b e supported in the future, and I think that comes from the community.”

Officers from O r a n a M id -We s t e r n Pol ice Distr ict a re now investigating the circumstances of the deaths u nder Str i ke Force Darnum, assisted by detectives from State C r i me C om m a nd ’s Homicide Squad.

A nyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Community in mourning The town of Coonabarabran is grieving after the heartbreaking loss of two young boys – seven-yearold Max and his six-year-old brother Sam – whose lives were tragically cut short this week.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner, Andrew Holland, addresses media at Coonabarabrna Police Station on Tuesday, 5 May.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com

Extraordinary kindness On Saturday morning my husband, Ted, and I decided to walk to the polling booth to cast our vote. This proved to be a big mistake, as Ted lost his footing in George Street and fell heavily onto the road, damaging his face quite badly.

As I was trying, unsuccessfully, to help him to his feet, Graham and Judy Williams pulled up beside us. As the three of us attempted assist Ted, two young ladies stopped their car and came to the rescue, helping Ted into Judy

and Graham’s vehicle.

We were then driven straight to the hospital where Ted received excellent treatment from the locum doctor and nursing sister on duty.

The kindness we received was extraordinary and through your paper I would like to thank everybody who assisted us on the day, particularly the young ladies who remain anonymous to me.

Yours etc., Sandi Spackman Coonabarabran 2357 (04.05.2025)

In the wake of the devastating news, support has poured in from all corners of the community.

The boys were students at Coonabarabran Public School, where principal Lucy Evans offered condolences to families in a letter distributed to parents on Tuesday afternoon.

‘I wish to express my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to family and friends of the boys’, Mrs Evans wrote.

‘Both boys were lovely children who were valued and very cared for members of our school.

‘They will be remembered fondly and greatly missed by their classmates, friends, teachers and the entire school community.

‘There is no doubt this tragedy will distress our tight-knit school community’.

For this reason, additional counselling support has been made available at the school and will remain on offer for as long as necessary.

Candlelight vigil Local families have responded to the t rag i c event w ith s hock , so r row a nd solidarity, with floral tributes and stuffed teddies being laid at the boys’ bus stop at

Tandara Estate.

In an ef for t to honour the memor y of Max and Sam and create space for collective healing, a candlelight vigil has been organised for 5pm this Friday, 9 May, at the Yarning Circle in Coonabarabran’s Neilson Park.

Facilitated by Yarn Support Connect, the event is open to everyone.

‘A space for our community to unite, sha re time, sha re space, and reflect together in harmony…let’s light the fire pit and cook a few soups’, read the announcement.

The event is descr ibed as safe and inclusive for all ages – a simple gesture of love and remembrance for two lives lost too soon.

As news of the tragedy reached further afield, local representatives offered their condolences.

State Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, said the death of any child was always d eva s tat i n g, b ut i n a s m a l l, cl ose community, where everyone is connected in some way, it hits the community even harder.

“My heart goes out to the people of Coonabarabran and the broader state at

this time of grief and loss,” Mr Butler said.

“No one is immune to seeing a future of unlimited potential for a child taken away.”

Mr Butler said while the community was seeking answers, it was important to allow police and other agencies the time and space to carry out their investigations and determine the facts.

In Sydney, NSW Premier Chris Minns issued a heartfelt message of support to the local community and the police officers involved. “ T h e D e p a r t m e nt o f E d u ca t i o n i s obviously working closely with the school,” Mr Minns said.

“I mean, it’s just so horrifying and these are the kinds of events, these are the kinds of crimes that are just so heartbreaking for a community like that.

“I can imagine that the community is going through hell right now.

“I realise that this will leave and cast a long shadow in that community.”

A s i nvestigations conti nue, the community continues to rally – quietly, compassionately and with the unwavering kindness that makes up the fabr ic of Coonabarabran .

Max and Sam will never be forgotten.

A royal encounter You’d be forgiven for thinking you were seeing things – but yes, that really was an alpaca casually strutting down the main street of Coonabarabran last week, looking like he had errands to run and no time for nonsense.

On Thursday, 1 May, local people got more tha n they ba rga i ned for with their morning coffee, as Hephner the alpaca and his handler, Robert Fletcher, set out for a stroll.

The pair made their way d ow n t he m a i n d rag, poppi ng i nt o Tam’s Cutti ng Shed , browsing P rezzies, a nd even ta k i ng i n the sparkle at Crystal Kingdom before tr otti ng of f t o br i ng smi les t o sta f f a nd residents at Cooinda aged care facility.

H e p h n e r, a n i n e year-old alpaca from Goulburn, has become something of a national c e l e b r i t y, g a i n i n g international attention a f ter a memorable encounter where he s ne e z e d on K i n g Charles during a royal visit to Canberra.

Despite this cheeky moment , Heph ner i s best known for his gentle demeanor and h i s r ole i n br i n g i n g com for t t o those i n need.

A l o n g s ide R o b e r t , he has been v isiti ng nursing homes, palliative care facilities, schools and commu n ity events

ac r o s s Au st r a l i a for nearly a decade.

Robert and Hephner were en route to the G o o n d i w i n d i S h o w, stopping off at towns along the journey for a st r et ch a nd t o i nje c t s ome wa r mt h a nd exc it ement i nt o regional communities.

Robert and his w i fe, Jay ne ,operat e Fletcher’s A rk Farmyard in Goulburn.

Originally they acquired Hephner t o joi n thei r herd of fem a le a lp a c a s , but t hei r ch i ld r en s aw “potential” and began involving Hephner in p a r ad e s a nd s h ow s , including the Sydney Royal Easter Show, and sharing the adventures on social media.

This led to invitations for Hephner to attend wedd ings, schools, a nd v a r iou s e vent s , solidifying his role as a beloved community figure.

Beyond his visits to care facilities, Hephner h a s p a r t i c i p at e d i n f u nd -r a i s i n g e f fo r t s such as a tour of Tasmania to support Dolly’s Dream, a charity focused on combating bullying and its effects on mental health.

Jamie Chaffey elected Member for Parkes Jamie Chaffey has been elected as the new Federal Member for Parkes, securing the seat for The Nationals following last weekend’s federal election.

Mr Chaffey, a former Gunnedah Shire mayor, b e g a n c a mp a i g n i n g last year following the imminent retirement of long-serving MP, Mark Coulton.

He was of f icia l ly voted in with a strong major ity, conti nu i ng The Nationals’ hold on the Parkes electorate — one of the largest in NSW. With almost all votes counted, the Australian Electoral Commission ( A E C ) out l i ne s t h at M r Cha f fey received 37,896 first preference votes, accounting for 40 per cent of the first preference vote.

On a two-candidateprefer red basis, he finished with 63 per cent of the vote, defeating Labor candidate Nathan Fell, from Broken Hill.

Despite a swing of -5.19 per cent against T he Nationa ls , the result represents a clear win in a campaign that spanned the vast and diverse electorate.

M r C h a f fey bega n h i s e l e c t i o n d ay i n Ba rmedman — the southern-most booth in the Parkes electorate — before travelling to Dubbo to cast his own vote, accompanied by his wife, Judy. F rom there, he visited several polling stations across the electorate, including Mendooran Central School,

Coonabarabran High S chool a nd Mu l la ley Primary School, before wrapping up the day at the Gunnedah PCYC, where he joined supporters to watch the results roll in.

He was joined on the night by his wife, Judy, t hei r fou r c h i ld r en , thei r pa r tners a nd g randchildren, along with Mark and Robyn C ou lt on a nd a t ea m of loya l Nationa ls supp or t er s who h ad backed his extensive campaign.

In his victory speech, Mr Chaffey expressed he a r t fe lt t h a n k s t o those who had placed their trust in him.

“I am grateful for the oppor tun ity to ser ve the people of the Parkes electorate,” Mr Chaffey said.

“Over the last nine months of the campaign I h ave met s o ma ny incredible people, and I would like to thank ever yone who gave me thei r vote and supported me during the campaign.

“This includes Mark and Robyn Coulton, and we thank them for their tireless service over the last 17 years for the Parkes electorate.”

Mr Chaffey also paid tribute to his opponents, recognising the shared goal of working for the good of the community. “ To the other

candidates, thank you for putting your hand up for your community and your nation,” he said. “ We may have different ideas, but I do believe we are all just trying to make our

country a better place for future generations.

“Once the polls are declared, I will get to work to fight for every si ngle person i n the Pa rkes ele c t orat e t o make our area an even

better place to live.”

W h i l e t h e P a rk e s result was a positive one for The Nationals, Mr Chaffey acknowledged the broader pol itica l shift across the country, with the Labor party,

under the leadership of Prime Minister Anthony A lba nese, form i ng a majority Government. “ I ’m c oncer ned for what that will mean for our country, but there is no doubt we still live

in the best country in the world. “ I ’m incred ibly honoured to be ent r u s t e d w it h t h i s g reat oppor tun ity t o represent the people of the Parkes electorate.”

Judy and Jamie Chaffey, with Mark and Robyn Coulton, celebrate last Saturday, 3 May following Mr Chaffey’s successful bid for the Federal seat of Parkes.

More than a democracy sausage: first-time voters share their thoughts As Australians headed to the polls for the 2025 Federal Election, many young people across the Parkes electorate cast their votes for the first time – a moment filled with both pride and pressure.

Local first-time voters Claudia Heaney and Mol ly Shannon, both journalists at the Coonabarabran T i m e s, s h a r e d t h e i r experiences of navigating the voting process in a political climate saturated with campaign noise, digital spin and complex national issues.

Claudia Heaney descr ibed voting as “an exciting yet challenging experience.”

“There is more to it than walking into the voti ng cent re and numbering boxes.

The re a re a lot of elements to consider to cast you r vote effectively,” she said.

“I have felt pressure to ensu re my ba l l ot paper reflects my values effectively.”

B o t h y o u n g women placed a high value on voting with intention and aligning their choices with personal beliefs and priorities.

For Claudia, key concer ns included housing affordability, h e a l t h c a r e , e d u ca t i o n a n d t h e cost of living.

“These issues impact each citizen’s daily life and it was impor tant to me for my b a l l ot p a p e r to r e f l e c t t h a t ,” s h e explained. “I also considered the histor y and reliability of the parties.”

Molly Shannon said

she approached voting feeling “a little ove r w h e l m e d ,” b u t deter mined to be prepared.

“I have done my best to be as informed as possible.

H oweve r, I h a ve found it hard to find unbiased and truthful i nfo r m at i o n a ro u n d the candidates,” she said. “I have strong v i ew s a n d o p i n i o n s and want to be able to vote fo r a p a r t y or candidate that fits best with me and what changes I would like to see in the new government.”

M o l l y h i g h l i g hte d the youth housing crisis and the epidemic of violence against women as key issues that shaped

her vote.

“The re i s so much more to be done and I think it is really i m po r tant that the next government takes the time to help fix the issue and to ta ke it se r i ous l y and cal l it out fo r w hat it rea l l y i s, a n epidemic,” she said.

She also raised concerns about healthcare access in r u ra l a reas and the need for better pay for nurses.

W h i l e b o t h wo m e n m a d e ef fo r ts to resea rch independently, they said that finding c l e a r, u n b i a s e d information remained a s i g n if i ca nt ch a l l e n g e. Cl a u d i a noted that although

social media played a role in shaping her exposure to politics, it often proved unreliable.

“I found social media coverage less helpful. The posts were either designed fo r viewe r sh i p o r to i nf l uence my vote rathe r than p rovide a n h o n es t res o u rce to gather information f rom,” she sa id. “A s a result, I would mainly choose to disregard social media coverage and prioritise my own research.”

M o l l y a d d ed th at although social m e d i a co nte nt wa s targeted toward Gen Z, it of ten lacked substance.

“The campaigning

there is more about making fun of other parties and less about w h at it i s th e pa r t y wants to achieve and t h e i r p o l i c i e s ,” s h e said.

Instead, both turned to traditional media sources fo r mo re in - depth info r mation. Mol ly credited the ABC, The Guardian and Sydney Mor ning Herald as h e r “ s a v i n g g ra ce” in the lead-up to the election. “ H o w eve r, I h a ve also found that for the Pa r kes el ecto rate it has been hard to find w ho i s a cand idate and what their goals for the future were,” she added.

D es p ite t h e challenges, Claudia

and Molly both a g re e d t h a t vot i n g i s a v i ta l r i g h t a n d responsibility.

“We are luck y e n o ug h to l i ve i n a countr y where we get to help make choices that impact our future,” Claudia said. “These choices impact our lives di rectly, so ensur ing your vote aligns with your personal values is integral.”

Mol ly echoed this sentiment.

“Your vote will still count and you will still get a say in who you want in parliament,” she said. “This is why it is so important to take your voting seriously — you r vote count s and therefore so does your voice.”

A rosemary tribute: keeping the ANZAC memory alive Every year, a small group of volunteers in Baradine pay a special tribute to honour war veterans prior to Anzac Day.

by LIZ CUTTS On Thursday, 24 April, members of the Baradine RSL Women’s Auxiliary could be found moving quietly among the rows of headstones at the local cemetery, placing sprigs of rosemary on the graves of returned servicemen and women.

This simple, heartfelt gesture has become a cherished local tradition in the lead-up to Anzac Day, ensuring that every veteran buried at the cemetery is honoured and remembered for their service and sacrifice.

R o s e m a r y, l o n g associated with remembrance, is a power f u l symbol of respect for those who fought and served. For the volu nt eers who return each year, the act of laying the fragrant sprigs is a personal and moving experience.

“It is an honour to be part of this,’ said Women’s Auxiliary president, Dot Skinner.

“Each rosemary sprig represents a small thank you to those who gave so much. “ We a l l k n o w o f

someone who has served ou r cou ntr y i n some capacity and this is our way of keeping their memory, and the memory of all the others, alive.”

Armed with baskets

of freshly-cut rosemary, the volunteers walked bet we en the g raves , carefully placing a sprig on each one. For some, the trad ition is a lso personal, with family

Sandy Rees made sure there was plenty of rosemary for everyone.

member s a mong t he fallen.

“We have been doing this on the day before A n zac Day for mor e than 4 0 yea rs,” said war widow Rae Tassell,

whose husband, Stan, fought in WWII and is buried in the cemetery.

“I think the tribute was started by ladies auxiliary members Cath Creenaune, Joan Rice,

Pat Hawkins, Norma F rater and Margaret Mann, and it is wonderful that the tradition has been kept going.

“It is a lovely thing to do and we have a great

time together, recalling memories and making sure that no grave is left without a sign of remembrance; it is so important that those who serve are not forgotten.”

Rae Tassell and Avice Boyden placed sprigs of rosemary on commemorative plaques at the Baradine cemetery.

Baradine pushes for for WORD WORD

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quickfire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?”

And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? “Tiddly”.

Aunty Jillian would call me this as a toddler when I was learning how to walk – and it has just stuck. I googled it when I got older and discovered in old Australian slang “Tiddly” means to be intoxicated.

H o w d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? I moved from Sydney to Coonabarabran in 2020 with my wife and children. I moved to Coonabarabran because I wanted to relive childhood memories of walking the Warrumbungles with my grandfather, Bill Robinson, and learning about Aboriginal culture. I hope to share these experiences with my wife, children and young people at Coonabarabran High School.

Where would people recognise your face from? I am a student support officer at Coonabarabran High School. I may be seen engaging in Aboriginal Cultural Practice in the community.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a Discovery Ranger with NPWS like my grandfather. I spent many school holidays with my grandfather Bill Robinson (dec), Uncle Patty Chatfield (dec) and Uncle Brad Sulter, sight surveying and walking Gamilaraay country.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? As a trainee youth worker with Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets. I have gratitude for having experienced working with children who were orphans of war in a remote East Timor village. I was also fortunate enough to have been invited to a luncheon with Prince William and we found a common interest and talked about boxing.

Whe re is you r go-to spot i n Coonabarabran? I enjoy going to the Space Art Gallery, as Fiona and Taylor make a great coffee. I also love going to my Nan’s house, Margaret Robinson, for a cup of tea and Arrowroot biscuit.

What event in Coonabarabran do you look forward to most each year?

Bunny Bazaar.

Best thing about living in Coonaba rab ran? We a re ve r y fortunate to have so many national parks and state forests. I believe this is what makes Coonabarabran such a beautiful and unique part of the country and sets it apart from many other towns with little scrub.

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be?

I would like to take a time machine back to the 70s to see the hippie generations and just how clothes, music and politics influenced people at that time.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be and what would you cook? I would like to have Terrence Howard over for dinner. I would cook roast lamb and veggies and Yorkshire pudding.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given? Plan until the end.

What are the top three things on your bucket list? Buy a large bush block.

Travel the world. Pass on cultural knowledge.

If you could instantly be an expert in any f ield, what would it be?

Psychology.

How do you wind down after a long day? Watch conspiracy theories on YouTube.

police protection

Baradine residents are expressing growing concerns over a surge in local crime and have launched a petition for a police presence.

by LIZ CUTTS L o ca ls say they feel neglected and unprotected following the depa r tu re of the town’s resident police officer at the beginning o f t he ye a r, wh i c h left the town without a ded icated lawenforcement presence.

In response, c ommu n it y members have launched a petition urging the NSW Police Force to assig n a permanent officer back to the area.

L ocals say the absence of an on-site of f icer has led to an increase in vandalism, proper ty theft, home invasion and hooning, with emergencyresponse times reportedly stretching beyond three or four hours in some cases.

For a small rural town that once prided itself on safety and tight-knit community values, the

recent rise in criminal activity has left many feeling vulnerable. “ We’ve a lways felt s a fe her e ,” s a id one lifelong resident. “ But now, w ith no officer in town, people a re even installing security cameras, s ometh i ng we wou ld never have thought of in the past. “ T here are a lot of people living on their own here; a lot of elderly p e ople who get ver y ner vous when things like this happen. We need a pol icema n i n our town and something needs to be done about it.”

Baradine has previously relied on its resident officer for not on ly pol ici ng duties, but a l s o c om mu n it y engagement and lo ca l events. Si nce the departure, p ol i c e c o v e r a g e h a s been hand led f rom Coonabarabran, nearly

50 kilometres away.

“It’s not fair that a commun ity l i ke ou rs should be left without proper protection,” said Ad r ia n Wor rel l, who i s c o o r d i n at i n g t h e petition. “ We u nder s t a nd resources are stretched, but we’re not asking for a fleet of officers – just one person to be based here in Baradine again.

“I know it’s not a 24hour station, but just having someone living in the town and having a presence, even when they are not on duty, so people can talk to them. “ We are erratically p o l i c e d f r o m C o o n a b a r a br a n a nd Coonamble, but those s t at i o n s a r e u nd e r manned as well. “ C r i m i n a l ac t iv it y has def initely spiked since we lost our police off icer. I know of an incident a few weeks ago that took place at eight o’clock in the morning

a nd pol ice cou ld not attend until 10.30 that night. “ Hav i ng a pol ice officer in town deters criminal activity through a visible lawenforcement presence, faster response times, and stronger community engagement.”

The petition, wh ich has a l ready ga r ner e d mor e t h a n 50 0 signatures, calls o n N S W P ol i c e a nd releva nt gover nment officials to reinstate a permanent of f icer in Baradine. Organisers plan to submit it in the coming weeks and are urging all residents to sign it at the Baradine Post Office, Elders or ASM Mechanical.

I n the mea nti me, r e s id e nt s a r e b e i n g reminded to report all incidents or suspected suspicious activity to police and stay vigilant.

What is your favourite place to visit on a road trip? I like going to stay in Mudgee on a weekend and doing a winery tour and eating a tomahawk steak at the Lawson Hotel.

If you could swap lives with anyone for a day, who would it be? Shaolin Monk – so I could learn to use chi energy.

If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be? Being kind to others. It costs nothing to be kind.

What is the most valuable life lesson you have learned so far? “Time is precious”. The greatest gift someone can give you is their time.

TYSON BIRTLES 7 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 8 May 2025

Adrian Worrell took advantage of voting day in Baradine to gather petition signatures from concerned locals like Garnett Martin.

“Find Your Place”: Why thousands of women are joining the CWA Friendship, new challenges and advocacy just a few of the factors that attract women to CWA of NSW. The Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW has 8000 members around the state, and each has a d if fe rent story to tell about why they joined and what they value about being a member, but the one thing they all have in common is a firm belief t h ey’ve “ fo u n d t h e i r place”.

The association is cur rently r unning i t s ‘ F i n d Yo u r P l a ce’ campaign, urging NSW a n d AC T w o m e n t o consider joining thei r local CWA branch and becoming involved with the association’s many activities, f rom fund raising for community and broader causes, to helping set association policies that become part of a wider advocacy agenda.

Helen Strang grew up in the Mullaley and Tambar Springs district and always had an awareness of the Tambar Springs branch and the work members did in the community.

“Several of the members were ladies I really admi red as a child and then as an adult. They were real communit y spi r ited women. I was asked by

the then president to join the Tambar Springs branch, which was in May of 2008 and I’ve been a member ever since,” she said.

Helen said there were so many facets to the CWA of NSW, with something for everyone to enjoy. For her, it’s the advocacy a nd net wo r k i ng that really appeals, and she’s been a passionate representative for many o f t h e a s s o c i a t i o n’s campaigns, including action against CSG (Coal Seam Gas) projects in agriculturally-important areas of the state.

“The work the association does, and the stand it takes, on issues likes this is so significant and really raises community awareness, gets the at tention of d e c i s i o n - m a ke r s . I t’s something I enjoy being part of and working with other women who are passionate about the future of rural NSW,” she said.

“To other women who may be interested in becoming a member, I would say, ‘take the p l u n g e’. Wh en I wa s asked to join, I initially thoug ht it wa s n’t fo r m e, b u t h o w w r o n g

was I. It is a grass-roots women’s organisation that is apolitical, greatly respected by all and I just feel we can make the difference. I love the ‘girl power’ and the support we have for each other.”

We n d y A r e nt z h a s been a CWA of N SW member for more than 20 years, and currently fills the roles of secretary and publicity officer at Gundagai branch.

Wendy, who lives in Tumut, was born with a vision impairment, so a lifetime of advocating for herself, and for others with a disability, means she also enjoys, and values, the significant advocacy role the CWA of NSW plays for the state’s remote, rural and regional communities.

“I’ve learned to speak up for myself, and for others in the community, so I think that experience and different perspective on issues helps me when it comes to CWA issues at both a local, and broader level,” she said.

Jane Bowtell joined the Woy Woy branch of the CWA of NSW in 2016 after feeling like she was at a “crossroads” in her life and in need of new experiences and fresh

challenges.

“In 2015 I watched an ABC program about the CWA of NSW and for some reason it resonated with me. I was 53 at the time.

When I joined the Woy Woy branch, there were only nine members, so I put my hand up to help where I could, first by taking on the treasurer’s role and then becoming president,” Jane said. “ I e n co u ra g e d my daughter to join and we set up a Facebook page to attract new members.

She became the publicity officer and a younger member became the cookery officer and we re a l l y fo rg e d a h e a d with cookery as well. We haven’t looked back since and today we have almost 60 members.”

Jane said she loves how the association goes about its work with little fuss, while “getting things done” and fighting to have members’ voices h ea rd o n i s sues th at mattered to remote, rural and regional NSW. Junior members are a l s o e n co u ra g e d by the branch, as they are by many of the state’s b ranches, w ith gi r ls under 18 eligible for junior membership. “They are

our CWA of tomorrow, our future,” Jane said.

She also takes pride in the fact that after mo re than 10 0 yea r s the association has stood the test of time, remaining relevant and moving with an everchanging society. She also credits the support and friendship she’s found as another reason for the association’s longevity.

“Over the years I’ve had so many conversations with women asking about what we do. I encourage them to come along for a cuppa and a chat, get a feel for the branch and the members. I tell them they will find their niche within the branch, they will find where they fit and they will always have a voice and be listened to,” Jane said.

“We may not always agree, but for the most par t we get over the hurdles and embrace our differences, and are always there for each other when it matters.

I’m certain this is why the association flourished in the past, and why it will continue into the future and remain a voice and a helping hand for people and communities right across our state.”

Helen Strang is a proud member of the Tambar Springs branch of CWA of NSW.

Celebrating community and faith: Catholic Schools Week Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate the incredible value our schools bring to students, families, and the wider community. It’s a moment to reflect on our rich history and embrace the exciting journey ahead – a time for connection and celebration.

This year, Catholic Schools Week is being celebrated across the Diocese of Bathurst between 12-18 May, with the theme for 2025 as ‘Guided by Faith. Inspired by Hope.

Committed to Learning’.

Across Australia, 820,000 students attend 1751 Catholic schools (with 40 per cent of these schools being in regional, rural and remote areas) where they are nurtured and educated by over 112,000 dedicated teachers and support staff.

The Catholic Diocese of Bathurst provides a diverse range of educational opportunities to approximately 10,000 students in 33 schools, from primary schools in small rural communities to large secondary schools in the regional towns.

Our schools are communities of faith, part of the local parish community and working closely with that community to form the children in their care. This makes every school unique.

8 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 8 May 2025

At the heart of Catholic education lies a commitment to nurturing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Catholic schools in the Diocese of Bathurst nurture the potential of each child in a holistic, studentcentred learning environment.

Our schools are led by teachers who are expert educators and who are passionately committed to the learning and wellbeing of each student in their care. Our teachers use evidenced based teaching practices and appropriate contemporary technology to enable them to cater for the learning needs of a diverse range of student interest and abilities.

Research suggests those who attend Catholic schools are more likely, on average, to see lifelong benefits in employment, health and life satisfaction.

Catholic schools support our Australian society, as Catholic school graduates are more likely to work in an industry that

directly benefits the public.

Our teachers challenge our young people to live out the message of Jesus and help them to develop the knowledge and skills which will enable them to reach their full potential as compassionate and contributing members of society.

Our Catholic schools are affordable, inclusive and quality-learning communities.

We warmly invite you to celebrate Catholic Schools week with us. Visit your local Catholic school and experience what makes our schools unique.

Check your local Catholic school website and Facebook page for the dates of open days and meetings with the principal, or visit our website: www.bth.catholic.edu.au, to make an enrolment enquiry.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Warrumbungle Children’s Services

Tooraweenah Preschool We hope that everyone has had a safe, restful and rela x ing holiday period, with Easter and Anzac Day both falling in these school holidays.

We f i n i s he d ou r term having lots of fun playing ‘Easter Bilby’ games with our huge collection of ( plastic) eggs from the ‘Easter Shelf ’. Friends had a delightful time each day creating ‘ Easter Egg hunts’ for their friends, and each day du r ing the last we ek , there was a mysterious note that appeared from the Easter Bilby, sending us on a mission to find a certain amount of eggs before we’d even had our ‘morning meeting’ on the mat! Our friends were very excited about Easter!

We a r e lo ok i n g forward to our four new bikes arriving that we or der e d l a s t t er m – we used money raised from our Community Pub Barbecues held in February to purchase these.

We have also purchased a defibrillator for our premises in the

case of any emergency that requires us to use it . A big tha n k you t o the committee for their forward thinking on this very important purchase and to those involved in all of the resea r ch a r ou nd defibrillators for this purchase.

Our preschool ch i ld ren joi ned the To or awe en a h P u bl ic School on A nzac Day at t he To or awe en a h community service at t he h a l l t o si n g t he beauti ful song, ‘ L est We Forget: One More Pa r ade ’. T hey a l l sounded amazing and it was a fitting tribute to those ser v ice men and women who have served our country in a l l c on f l ic t s . T h a n k you preschool friends for being a part of this service.

A big thank you to the children who laid our wreath, with our floral wreath being made by preschool friend Lottie, with Suzie Webb.

Preschool friends also joined in the march and assisted with the second half of the service at

the park. We had very helpful leaders carrying ou r b a n ne r a nd t he children were pleased to be helpful with the floral wreaths, following in the footsteps of our ‘ bi g s c h o ol f r ie nd s ’.

It wa s lovely t o s e e our preschool friends eagerly be involved in ou r lo ca l A n zac Day service. Lest We Forget.

We a r e lo ok i n g for wa rd t o t erm two w ith lot s of f u n a nd adventures, including some new friends joining us at preschool and our Bush Preschool weekly adventures down t o t he To or awe en a h Creek. Our new pres cho ol ra i nc oat s will come in handy for our adventures if the weather is inclement.

Yaama Maliyaa (Hello friends).

Long Day Care, Preschool, After School Care and Connect Five have all resumed for term two, with the children returning full of energy and excitement. There’s been a joyful buzz across Children’s Services as the children share stories from their school holidays and Easter adventures.

Last week, at Robertson Street Preschool (Monkey Room), the children beginning the new term were eager to see friends and revisit their favourite activities.

While outdoors, the children noticed several caterpillars on the verandah. Concerned they might get squashed,

the children asked for a container to collect and move them safely. Molly suggested using tweezers to avoid getting bitten and offered magnifying glasses to support their exploration.

The children excitedly shared their thoughts: “Ummmm these caterpillars are going to turn into a butterfly… can we make them a house?”

Arlo “I found one…I found a caterpillar…keep searching for the clues!”

Bodhi “I need a magnifying glass, I can see his feet.”

Evie The educators are really looking forward to seeing where the children take this learning next!

Coonabarabran Public Welcome back Welcome back to term two! We hope everyone had a restful break and is ready for an exciting term ahead. Our dedicated teachers spent the staff development days diving into H P GE ( HighPerformance Growth and Engagement) learning, equipping themselves with new strategies and insights to enhance our students’ educational experiences.

T his term, we look forward to implementing these innovative practices in the classroom, fost er i ng a v ibra nt learning environment that inspires curiosity and growth. Let’s make term two a fantastic journey of discovery and achievement together!

Students arrived back at school on Wednesday eager and excited to see their friends. We had a whole school assembly and our school captain, Aria, delivered a moving A ck nowledgement t o Country to welcome us all back.

Cross country practice Last Friday morning we t r av e l l e d t o t he C o on aba r abr a n G ol f Course to practice for ou r up c om i n g c r o s s country event to be held on Friday, 16 May. It was a lovely way to spend the morning in the beautiful autumn sunshine and work on our fitness.

Get hooked on fishing On Friday afternoon, Yea r 6 pa r ticipated in a fishing-awareness program in conjunction with the Department of Primary Industries ( DPI ). Dur ing the afternoon Roger, from the DPI, and his fishing volunteer, Alan, came and discussed with the students ‘ever y th i ng fishing’.

Students learnt about types of fish we find in our area as well as discussed legal lengths and catches and illegal lengths. They learnt about when you can and cannot ta ke fish you catch from the waterways.

They practised how to tie knots and to cast a fishing line under that watchful guidance from Roger and Alan.

M o s t i mp or t a nt ly, they learnt about looking after our waterways so that the habitat for our f ish is kept safe and healthy. This workshop was very worthwhile and everyone has taken some va luable in formation home about fishing and our waterways.

Hip Hop workshops Last Thursday, thanks to all the fund-raising from our Colour Run, all students at CPS were treated to Hip Hop dance workshops from a dance teacher who visited our school. The workshops taught us all some groovy moves and we combined

the moves to make up a dance to a chosen song.

These workshops were so i nspi rationa l a nd energetic. We certainly now have all the moves and we are certain to incorporate some of this knowledge and skills into our PAN dances in the coming term.

Making a splash at state Two local swimmers are making waves, breaking school records and excelling at state level.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY Coonabarabran Public S ch o o l s t u d e nt s , E m m a Johnston and Savannah Sw a n s o n , co m p ete d i n the NSW Pr imar y School Swimming Championships from 10-11 April. Both girls g a ve i t t h e i r a l l i n t h e pool, achieving multiple personal -best times and sitting amongst the best swimmers in the state.

Savannah Swanson N i n e - y e a r - o l d Savannah has w rapped a ve r y s u cce s s f u l s w i m season, breaking the 1988 breaststroke and 2004 junior girls’ medley records at this ye a r ’s C o o n a b a r a b r a n Public School Swimming Carnival. Her dedication to the sport is undeniable. “ Sw i m s e a s o n u s u a l l y starts to pick up in June and basically goes year round,” said her mother, Vanessa.

At state level, Savannah competed in backstroke, butterfly, 200m individual medley (IM) and b re a s t s t ro ke, a ch i ev i n g personal best times in three events.

She shaved 3.19 seconds o f f h e r 2 0 0 m I M , 4 .14 seconds in the backstroke a n d a n i n c re d i b l e 5 . 7 7 seconds in the butterfly. “ We a re ex t rem e l y proud. It is such a credit to her perseverance and motivation,” Vanessa said.

Emma Johnston E m m a b r o k e three records at the

C o o n a b a ra b ra n P u b l i c School Swimming Carnival earlier this year, including the 11-year freestyle held since 2007, the backstroke set in 1996 and the medley record.

A t t h e s t a t e championships, she co m p ete d i n f re e s t y l e, b r e a s t s t r o ke, 2 0 0 m I M , backstroke, butterfly, and the freestyle all-age relay.

Emma managed to place among the top 15 c o m p e t i t o r s i n h e r back st roke and relay events – a strong showing at such a competitive level.

Her father, Scott Johnston, reflected proudly on her efforts.

“It is just such a good feeling,” he said.

“It is so important to see the result at the end of it all.”

To co m p ete to t h i s standard, Emma has had to put in the hard yards.

“In the lead up to State, Emma trained pretty much ever y day. We travelled away for training quite a bit,” Scott said.

“During the school h o l i d a y s , w e s ta y e d i n Coonamble for five days for training.”

The proof was in the p u d d i n g ,w i t h E m m a reco rding new per sonal best times in breaststroke, 200m IM, butterfly and in the relay.

and regional areas face an a r ray of additional challenges.

“Reg i ona l k ids have disadvantages when competing with city kids. In the city, they have access to heated pools all year round and better coaches.

For regional areas, our kids do so well,” Scott said.

Both families were touched by the overwhelming support the girls received.

“We just want to thank the community for the phone calls and text messages of support,” Vanessa said. “ I t w a s i n c r e d i b l e to see the community of our town sharing Savannah’s dream.” “ T h e Co o n a b a ra b ra n Public School has just been so suppor tive and e n c o u r a g i n g , i t m a ke s a big dif fe rence,” Scot t added.

Both Savannah and Emma share a dream to keep honing their craft in the pool.

Scott said his daughter, Emma, is keen to do improve and will “find other ways to t ra i n i n the of f- season,” while Vanessa shared her daughter’s dream, which was to compete in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

With such determination, the futu re i s ce r ta i n ly l ook i ng b r ig ht fo r these two young athletes.

Coonabarabran Public School swimmers Savannah Swanson and Emma Johnston both proudly represented the school at the State Swimming Championships, improving on personal best times.

Unicorns edge bulldogs in a try-athlon thriller The Coonabarabran Unicorns and Warren Bulldogs first-grade match turned on a high-scoring spectacle in round two of the Castlereagh League, giving fans a Saturday afternoon to remember. In a game where both sides crossed for six tries, it was the Unicorns’ boot that made the difference. The final score of 34-26 reflected the home side’s accuracy with the tee, allowing them to remain undefeated after two rounds.

Tyrone Walker bagged a double for the Unicorns, while Brad Fuller’s five goals proved decisive in the clash. Despite strong performances from Warren’s Kobe Riley and Braith Boyd, the Bulldogs couldn’t close the gap on the scoreboard.

I n the le ag ue t ag, the Bulldogs had their moment of glory thanks to a sensational performance from fullback Mab F uller.

She crossed for five tries in a dominant display, lead i ng Wa r ren t o a thrilling 34-26 win – their first in their return season to the Castlereagh competition. It was a sweet moment for the blue and whites, who signalled they’re not just back, but back with bite.

Meanwhile, Coolah’s B owen O va l host ed what turned out to be a one - side d B or on i a Cup Cha l lenge game between the Kangaroos and the Cobar Roosters in a replay of last year’s grand final. Coolah again f lexed its premiership muscle, piling on 10 tries to hammer the Roosters 52 - 6 . T he ‘ R o o s a r e clearly eyeing another title run and made a loud

statement in doing so.

Cobar’s woes didn’t stop there, with the Coolah F lyers dominating their leaguetag encounter as well.

Brooklyn and Mackenzie Blackadder were among the many to cross the stripe for Coolah in the 58-10 demolition job.

At Narromine’s Cale Oval, fans were treated to two nail-biters. The Jets retained the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup in league tag after a 2018 win over the Dunedoo Swannettes in another gripping chapter of their fierce rivalry. The firstgrade match was just as tight, with the Jets edging the Swans 26-24 thanks to a remarkable four-try haul from Corey Cox. At Gulgong, it was a tale of two results. The Baradine Magpies took the league tag match 20 -12, while the Bull Terriers unleashed in f i rst g rade, r ompi ng home with a huge 68-6 victory – a performance sure to raise eyebrows across the competition.

Gilgandra had a tough day in league tag, going down to Coonamble 2612, and the Panthers

will be looking to regroup when they host Gulgong this Saturday.

Round 3 preview Round three kicks off this Friday night with Nar romine hosting Warren in another Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup showdown in the league tag. On Saturday, the Baradine Magpies will be on the road again when they venture to Dunedoo to take on the Swans, while Coolah have their first away game for the season when they play Coonamble at Coonamble. Cobar are at home to the red-hot Coonabarabran outfit, while Gilgandra will play Gulgong in league tag at Gilgandra.

From off the pace, the Garry Lunn trained Sweet As A Kiss (6.50) finished strongly to account for Lagoon (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $41) and Green Pineapple (Ashleigh Stanley, $3.30) in the 1600 metres Class 1 and Maiden Plate.

Rebecca Bronnett Prag then brought the Dar Lunn trained Podcast ($3 favourite) from near last to win the 1300 metres Benchmark 50

Dupenny shines as Binnaway Races return in style After last year’s washout, the Binnaway Race Meet roared back to life on Saturday with big crowds, capacity fields and thrilling wins on a perfect day of country racing.

by COL HODGES Andrew Banks wore the orange with blue chevrons colours of prominent owners, Nerida and Rodger Atkinson when winning the feature race before a big crowd on Saturday at Binnaway.

Trained at Gulgong by Brett Thompson, the fiveyear-old mare, Dupenny tracked the leaders – P a n t s O n F i re a n d Pyromania – to the home tur n before breaking clear in the straight.

Responding to strong riding from Andrew Banks, Dupenny ($6) won the 1300 metres Exchange Hotel and Jack O’Brien Memorial Binnaway Cup by nearly two lengths from Awesome Tycoon (Shannen Llewellyn, $9) and Order Of Merit (Zoe Hunt, $4.80).

Capacity fields contested most of the races, with trainers represented from as far away as the provincial circuit, including Nick Mitchell from Gosford.

Making a good recovery from a recent bout of ill health, Nick Mitchell stayed at home

with their two young children while his wife, Katie Mitchell, took the stable runners to Binnaway.

Ridden by apprentice Leeshelle Small for Nick Mitchell, Skittlz ($6) drifted back in the field before producing a solid finishing run to win the 1300 metres Dennis Frater Memorial Maiden Handicap by over two lengths from Withania (Georgina McDonnell,$13) and Millepied (Jordan Quince, $2.80 favourite), “Despite being a ratbag and always getting up to mischief, Skittlz is probably the most lovable horse in our stables,” revealed Katie Mitchell when accepting the trophies after the win.

A typically aggressive ride by Jake PraceyHolmes paved the way for the win by the Cindy Monaghan, Dubborained Candid in the 1100 metres Benchmark 45 Handicap.

From the outside barrier in the big field, Candid ($6) quickly found a position near the lead and kept going strongly down the straight

Nationals continue hold on Parkes, New England The Nationals will continue to represent the seats of Parkes and New England in federal parliament following resounding victories at Saturday’s election.

Parkes candidate Jamie Chaffey, of Gunnedah, has secured his position in the House of Representatives, continuing the party’s representation following the retirement of Mark Coulton.

First preferences for the Nationals declined 8.9 per cent per cent to 40.04 per cent, according to results published by the Australian Electoral Commission as of Monday morning.

Gains were made by Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (six per cent) and Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party (4.25 per cent). Labor’s vote increased by 0.12 per cent, the Greens by 1.27 per cent while independent Stuart Howe increased by 0.42 per cent.

Trumpet of Patriots 2.48 per cent was a decline on the former United Australia Party’s result at the 2022 election. Other results include Libertarian (3.64 per cent), Family First (2.65 per cent) and Indigenous - Aboriginal Party of Australia (2.99 per cent).

The biggest gains at polling booths in the North West were mostly made by Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party.

As of Monday morning, the Nationals lead the two-party count 62.99 per cent to Labor’s 37.01 per cent, a 5.16 per cent swing to Labor.

Parkes candidate Jamie Chaffey, left, and Member for New England Barnaby Joyce, right, cast their votes on election day.

Check counts were mostly expected on the Sunday, with further counting and the distribution of preferences starting throughout this week.

When casting his vote in Dubbo on election day, Mr Chaffey said it had been a privilege to stand as the Nationals candidate for Parkes. From West Wyalong to his hometown of Gunnedah, Mr

Chaffey spent the final days of the campaign on a pre-election blitz after clocking up thousands of kilometres meeting with communities across the electorate since his pre-selection in Narrabri last year. Mr Chaffey vowed to serve the community and to make the Parkes electorate a better place to live.

Neighbouring federal MP

Barnaby Joyce, the Member for New England, was returned to his seat and will join Mr Chaffey on the opposition side of the House of Representatives.

Mr Joyce had experienced a small increase in first preference votes (1.9 per cent).

His vote was mostly unchanged at Quirindi on election day, while his vote slightly decreased at the

town’s prepoll voting centre. He also made gains at Willow Tree and Werris Creek.

Mr Joyce polled favourably in new areas picked up as a result of the distribution, including Muswellbrook.

Across New England, he had experienced a 2.18 per cent swing in his favour in the two candidate count.

LEFT: Deputy mayor Wayne Tighe, general manager Natalia Cowley, with Mayor Susannah Pearse.

Natalie Cowley appointed GM of Moree Plains Following candidate interviews conducted at the extraordinary council meeting on May 1, 2025, Moree Plains Shire Council has announced the appointment of Natalia Cowley as general manager.

The vote was conducted in open council, showing that councillors voted unanimously to appoint Ms Cowley to the role.

Mayor Susannah Pearse congratulated Ms Cowley on her appointment and thanked other applicants for their interest in the position.

“Council agreed that what set Natalia apart from the rest of the field was her deep understanding of local government and proven ability as a general manager who has holistically turned around council performance, delivering real outcomes for the community,” Cr Pearse said.

“Whilst there was a highly competitive field, council was united in their selection of Ms Cowley as the preferred candidate.”

The process was independently facilitated

by Local Government Management Solutions, the recruitment arm of industry peak body Local Government NSW, ensuring adherence to the NSW Office of Local Government’s Guidelines for the Appointment and Oversight of General Managers (The Guidelines). Under the Guidelines, Ms Cowley has been appointed for a five-year contract, commencing May 2, 2025.

Deputy mayor Wayne Tighe shared Cr Pearse’s sentiments.

“We are excited to have someone of Natalia’s calibre coming on board to lead our organisation and give it the consistency and focus it needs. Her results at other, larger,

councils speak for themselves,” Cr Tighe said.

As former general manager of City of Coffs Harbour, Ms Cowley is credited with taking the council from six years of operating losses, turning it around in the first year from $9.5m in the red in 2021-22 to $15.7m in the black in 2022-23. It has recently been listed in the Audit Office of NSW’s March 31, 2025, Local Government 2024 report in NSW’s most liquid councils.

She is also credited with delivering long awaited community infrastructure projects such as the Yarrila Place development, which was completed well under its $81.3m budget. She significantly reduced the council’s staff vacancy rate and improved community satisfaction in the council - as assessed by the community - to 83 per cent overall satisfaction.

Ms Cowley is Moree Plains Shire Council’s first female general manager.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the past three months as interim general manager, getting to know councillors, the team, the organisation and the community,” Ms Cowley said.

“My focus in the short term is to build on the momentum that we have gathered thus far, with a view to completing as many of the outstanding projects as possible.

“Thank you for the trust given to me by the council and the support provided to me by council staff.

“I love this big sky country and all that it offers, and am grateful for the warm welcome that I’ve received from the community.

“I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and delivering for them.”

2025 FEDERAL ELECTION

Nationals likely to hold all seats as Liberals smashed in the suburbs The junior coalition partner has retained its seats and took large chunks out of Labor's margins in others, largely weathering a Liberal Party wipeout.

The Nationals have again outperformed the Liberals, battening down the hatches in their seats as their coalition partner experienced an electoral storm.

The junior coalition party has retained almost all of its seats and took large chunks out of Labor's margin in the Northern Territory seat of Solomon and Victorian seat of Bendigo, but were unsuccessful in both.

The regional NSW seat of Calare has been called for independent Andrew Gee who quit the party and sat on the crossbench over its objection to the Voice referendum.

But Nationals Leader David Littleproud didn't rule the party out of the contest on Saturday night.

"We're not out of the Calare fight either. Our modelling is showing its 50-50, we're still waiting for those numbers to come in," he told AAP on the night.

The coalition needed to win Calare to win government, Mr Littleproud had claimed ahead of a

Liberal wipeout and Labor claiming majority government.

Nationals candidate Sam Farraway oversaw a near 20 per cent hit to the party's primary vote.

Come Sunday, Mr Farraway had conceded and said it was unlikely there would be enough remaining votes to regain a lead against Mr Gee. Independent Caz Heise has had a thin swing toward her in the NSW mid-north coast seat of Cowper, but Nationals MP Pat Conaghan kept his nose in front.

Ms Heise increased her primary vote by 5.5 per cent while Mr Conaghan's dropped by more than six, but the Nationals MP held the seat with just over 52 per cent after preference flows, with about 40 per cent of ballots counted.

"We knew it was going to be tight, no secret there, but he's done the work," Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie told Nine on Saturday night.

Bendigo and Hunter were targets but have been called for Labor.

But results for the former wouldn't be known until Monday with more preference data yet to

be crunched, Mr Littleproud said despite the call.

Labor increased its lead in the Hunter, where the opposition had

planned to put one of its nuclear power plants.

The Nationals nearly claimed Solomon with the associated

Country Liberal Party picking up a seven per cent swing, but Labor's Luke Gosling just held on with 1.5 per cent.

2025 FEDERAL ELECTION

Labor to gain bigger majority in second term Anthony Albanese has claimed an emphatic win in the federal election with Labor forging a bigger majority for its second term.

Mr Albanese says Australia has turned a corner as he celebrates an emphatic Labor landslide victory in the federal election.

Large swings to Labor across the country has increased the party's majority in federal parliament, as the coalition vote plunges to near-historic lows.

As of 11pm on Saturday, Labor had claimed 86 seats in the 150-electorate House of Representatives to the coalition's 40, securing the prime minister a greater mandate in his second term.

Mr Albanese is the first prime minister since John Howard in 2004 to claim back-to-back election wins.

Declaring victory in front of Labor Party faithful in Sydney, Mr Albanese said voters had made a clear choice.

"Together, we are turning the corner, and together, we will make our way forward with no one held back and no one left behind," he said.

"In this time of global uncertainty, Australians have chosen optimism and determination, Australians have chosen to face global challenges.

"Australians have voted for a

future that holds true to these values, a future built on everything that brings us together."

Of all the Labor gains, the biggest scalp was Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's seat of Dickson in Brisbane, which he had held for 24 years.

It's the first time an opposition leader has lost their seat at a federal election with Mr Dutton losing to Labor's Ali France.

Conceding defeat, Mr Dutton said the election was not the result the coalition was after and accepted full responsibility for the party's loss.

"We didn't do well enough during this campaign, that much is obvious tonight," he told party supporters in Brisbane.

"I've always wanted in public life for the best for our country and the best for every Australian.

"It's an historic occasion for the Labor Party, and we recognise that."

Mr Dutton also apologised to other coalition members who lost their seat on election night.

"There are good members, good candidates, who have lost their seats or their ambition and I'm sorry for that," he said.

"We have an amazing party and we'll rebuild."

The coalition is on track to one of its lowest ever primary votes since the party was

formed in the 1940s.

Labor has picked up marginal seats such as Leichhardt in Queensland, Bass in Tasmania, Sturt in South Australia and Deakin in Victoria.

But it could lose the formerly safe seat of Bean in the ACT to an

independent, with the result too close to call.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said he was proud of the campaign Mr Albanese and Labor had run.

"To get over the line, there is an element of relief but overwhelmingly gratitude to the country but

also to our local communities," he told ABC TV. "Anthony and his team, our campaign, was able to maintain the focus on the things that really matter, that people are focused on in their day-to-day lives."

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.
