Candlelit memorial for ‘loved’ schoolgirl MARGARET DEKKER Hundreds of heartbroken children, parents and community mourners gathered outside Tweed Heads Public School last Wednesday evening to remember much-loved pupil, Charlise Mutten.

The nine year old’s body was found in Hawkesbury bushland last Tuesday, January 18, four days after missing from Mt Wilson in the Blue Mountains.

Charlise was allegedly murdered by her mother’s

The girl’s body was found investigation by NSW Police Homicide Squad.

Stein was charged with her murder late last week and was remanded in jail after his arrest at Surry Hills Police Station.

The smart and gentle Year 4 student was remembered as ‘polite, courteous and a conversationalist’ by her teachers as her classmates spoke through tears at the school-gate vigil to remember the life of Charlise.

Her father spoke of his devastating loss, online.

The Tweed Heads Public School expressed its condolences on the school’s Facebook page last Wednesday afternoon shortly after the devastating news broke; the close community had been hoping and praying for better news.

Best Tasting Tap Water in the country Casino is officially home to Australia’s best tap water with Richmond Valley Council taking out top honours in the Ixom 2021 Best Tasting Tap Water in Australia competition.

Representing NSW, Council beat out Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, West Australia and Tasmania and will now go on to represent Australia at the annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition held in West Virginia, USA. The annual competition was held virtually, with a judging panel assessing samples from six water treatment plants on colour, clarity, odour and mouthfeel.

Council’s Director Community Service Delivery Angela Jones said she was proud of the entire team at the Water Treatment Plant, who all worked hard to provide a quality service to Casino and surrounds.

Ms Jones said the town water supply was

Casino’s Water Treatment Plant is in good hands, from left, Shannon Clapham, Sandeep Chugh, Serena Tomkins, Michael MacRae, David Cash. pumped through more than three kilometres of rising main to reach the treatment plant, just on the outskirts of Casino.

She said servicing a community of more than 11,000 people, the plant was monitored 24 hours a day.

“Winning this award

is a huge honour for both our Casino Water Treatment Plant crew and the organisation as a whole,” Ms Jones said.

“Like most water suppliers, we continue to experience numerous challenges from natural disasters to changes in water regulation,

which impact the way water service providers, including councils, supply and manage water and wastewater within their communities.

“We average a supply of six megalitres a day, with capacity to provide 23 megalitres.

“The plant is a standard

coagulation-flocculationsedimentation process, with the filter media being a standard sand and filter coal configuration.”

Ms Jones said pumping from the Richmond River source brought its own sets of challenges, including blue-green

algae and manganese.

“We are full-time dosing with activated carbon to alleviate taste and odour issues associated with the Richmond River,” she said.

“We also increase the activated carbon dose during summer months when dealing with blue-green algae.

Potassium permanganate is periodically dosed for manganese issues.”

Ms Jones said the plant was in the process of trialling enhanced coagulation to further reduce natural organic material.

“The benefit is having to use less chlorine and minimising by-products in the drinking water,” she said.

“This award motivates us to further improve our processes at the treatment plant.

“I’m very proud of our small but dedicated crew.”

Have you registered your Byron holiday rental property?

Lismore City Council has increased the number of free waste vouchers available to residents for January and February to help the community dispose of extra waste generated over the summer holiday period.

“An extra 1000 vouchers are being made available for January and February that residents can apply for to help them get rid of any extra

waste they accumulated over the Christmas and New Year period,” said Council’s Manager – Commercial Services (Resource Recovery) Dave Hanna.

“Once a voucher is issued, you have 30 days to take your waste to either the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre on Wyrallah Road, East Lismore or the Nimbin Transfer

Station.

“We do ask residents to please sort as much of their waste as possible to allow us to recycle as many items as we can to keep them out of landfill.”

To apply for a free waste voucher and for more information, go to www. northernriverswaste.com. au.

If you own or are a letting agent for a short-term rental property in the Byron Shire LGA, register your property on the STRA register.

Hospital taking shape MARGARET DEKKER Work on the new, $723.3 million Tweed Valley Hospital at Cudgen on the outskirts of Kingscliff is fast taking shape, catching locals’ eyes with the size and scale of the new, state-

of-the-art facility.

Work on the project is reportedly on track for completion in 2023 – at a date still to be announced - despite challenges from Covid-19.

The 430-bed hospital is expected to double the capacity of the

current Tweed Hospital, offering a full range of health services, and allowing up to 5000 patients annually across northern NSW to seek hospital treatment and care locally rather than needing to travel to the city or Queensland.

“The Tweed Valley

Hospital will be a major referral hospital at the heart of the network of hospitals and health facilities across the Tweed-Byron region. This includes Murwillumbah District Hospital, Byron Central Hospital, community health facilities, and

other out-of-hospital services,” the project descriptions states.

Hospital services will move from the existing Tweed Hospital in Tweed Heads to the new hospital on Cudgen Road, when it opens to patients next year.

Council knocks back New Italy development

Service centre refused Following a comprehensive and exhaustive assessment process, the proposal for a highway service centre at New Italy has been refused by Richmond Valley Council’s Development Assessment Panel.

The proposal required consent of Transport for NSW to create a new access for the proposed highway service centre.

Transport for NSW was unable to grant consent as the location of the proposed service centre is contrary to the Ministers for Planning’s Direction for Commercial and Retail Development along the The proposed development, as lodged Pty Ltd, included a service station, heavy vehicle refuelling area, truck wash facility, shower, gym, laundry facilities for truck drivers, four separate cafes/restaurants, including two with drive-through facilities.

The proposal as a whole was characterised as a highway service centre, which is not permissible in the zone.

The application was put on public exhibition for 28 days last year, receiving 56 individual submissions in response The majority of the submissions oppose the proposal. The issues of concerns raised in these submissions

The proposal included clearing of vegetation to facilitate the proposed development and it was accompanied by a Biodiversity Development Assessment Report. The subject report was not considered satisfactory by the Biodiversity and Conservation Division of Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.

In addition, the proposal was unclear with respect to the quantum of clearing required to accommodate the proposed development, including ancillary services such as the new ground water bore, on-site sewerage management system,

Mr Macdonald said Richmond Valley Council was the consent authority, however, given its cross over with a number of NSW Government agencies the proposal was referred to Transport for NSW, the Biodiversity and Conservation Division of Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, the Natural Resource Access Regulator, and NSW for input.

Valley Council had a proactive philosophy to support development, but it had to be in the best interests of the community.

“Our Development Assessment Panel’s thorough investigations found the proposed development does not satisfy the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the Roads Act 1993, the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, nor Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP),” Mr Macdonald said.

“Both the LEP and DCP clearly set out requirements to support and encourage social within the Richmond Valley, as well as manage appropriate and essential public services, infrastructure, and amenities for Richmond

Ltd’s application fails to minimise the risk of harm to the community through the appropriate management of the development and land use.

S S E L E M O H MODEL

From Tokyo catwalks to Tweed pped carparks .. how homelessness gri one older Australian woman

MARGARET DEKKER

In the heady days of strutting Tokyo runways, 21-year-old Charlene was blazing a trail as an in-house model for JapaneseFrench fashion house, Comme des Garcons.

She dined at Tokyo Marriott with the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger, turned down drinks with glam-rocker Jon Bon Jovi, partied in penthouses with other fabulous friends and although hectic, lived a life beyond her wildest dreams.

Bring the clock forward 30-years and Manchester-born Charlene, known today as Chili, was living another life unimaginable; in her car, in and out of council carparks on the Gold Coast and eventually the Tweed, thinking ‘how did it come to this?’

“Everything closed due to Covid, caravan parks closed, National Parks closed, so I ended up on the riverbank at Murwillumbah,” Chilli said (surname withheld.)

The 52-year-old mother-of-three turned

horse strapper had run out of options on the Gold Coast after the stable she’d been working at for over a decade sold, drying up employment and income, and her adult children had left home.

“So, I went to Murwillumbah. It was beautiful, that mountain was there, and I thought ‘I’m free!’

But any hope of freedom was short-lived when local stable work became impossible for Chili due to searing, untreated neck pain from old injuries.

Again, loss of work meant loss of income, accommodation, and place.

“I don’t really panic, I try to make the best of a situation.. I did actually enjoy sleeping under the stars, but reality is you can’t live like that forever you know,” Chili said of her former riverside camp.

“The hardest part is finding toilets, showers every day, your whole day is basically planned around how you can survive for that day.

“Like, from the morning, you’re busting for a pee, you’re on the

riverbanks, people parked everywhere so you’ve got to drive away and find a toilet and have a public shower and stuff,” Chili shared.

Still lithe and stately, Chili said society is quick to judge and label homeless people ‘bludgers’ unable and unwilling to improve their lives, but that view is simple and usually far from an individual’s truth.

“Before I was homeless, yeah I knew there were homeless people around, but everyone thinks ‘oh

street.”

Chili said if it weren’t for the ‘Blue Bus’ homeless outreach service doing a fortuitous lap of the Murwillumbah carpark where she’d been holed-up, she doesn’t know what would’ve happened to her.

On board that bus was an outreach worker from Social Futures, a North Coast not-forprofit organisation that runs support services for people experiencing homelessness. The worker asked Chilli a simple question - “Are you okay?” “.. And that was the

they’re just junkies, they don’t want to work,’ but a lot of people on the street are too proud sometimes to ask for help and then they get to the point where they are homeless and it’s too late to do anything.

“And you spend a lot more money on food and drink living rough because you can’t cook properly really and if it wasn’t for places like Fred’s Place (Homeless Service in Tweed Heads) and the Community Centres, I don’t know what the people would do, they’d just end up dying on the

worst thing for me, admitting, I surrender, yeah, I hit that brick wall and really couldn’t go any further,” she said.

Chili was then housed in a private room in a Murwillumbah motel for what she thought would be a week but turned into five safe and happy months.

“I hadn’t slept on a bed for I can’t remember how long, it had always been a mattress on a floor, my first sleep was beautiful. And with a view! I thought I’d hit the jackpot here,” Chili laughed.

And the help continued, with Social Futures’ Connecting Home program connecting Chili to Housing New South Wales and a permanent, private one-bedroom unit in Tweed Heads for a small weekly sum, plus long-overdue health care and planning.

“I can now actually focus on what I want to do with my life rather than trying to survive, all that stress has been lifted,” Chili said.

‘Connecting Home’ is a government-funded, voluntary service facilitated by Social Futures to young people (16-25,) adults (of any age) and families to help find support.

“Connecting Home connects people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with the support services they need to find permanent accommodation and make meaningful, longterm changes to their lives,” Tony Davies Chief Executive Officer Social Futures said.

“We deliver the

Connection Home program across the Northern Rivers region and have case managers working in the areas of Grafton, Lismore, Casino, Tweed Heads, Ballina and Byron Bay and surrounds,” he added.

“This is what Social Futures has done, they’ve re-homed me, it’s taken so much pressure off,” Chili said.

Chili’s was just one experience in the growing phenomenon of older Australian women – once mothers with a home, job, and place – now finding themselves homeless and shunned by modern Australia when their life took an unlikely turn.

“There’s a lot of women living in their vans, parking the back streets, they hide, they know how to survive,” Chili said.

Alarming numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics back up Chili’s observation. In just a decade, between 2006 and 2016, the rate of homelessness amongst ‘older women’ aged 55 or over, rose 44 percent. It’s now the fastest growing homeless group in the country, as highlighted by research from The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

“In 2016, there were an estimated 6,900 older homeless women on Census night, an increase of 2,100

(44%) from 4,800 in 2006 (ABS 2012, ABS 2018a.)” The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported.

“Older women are increasingly experiencing homelessness due to lower lifetime incomes, less access to financial assets such as superannuation because they are more likely to take on informal care responsibilities, relationship breakdown, and the consequences of family and domestic violence.

“During their lifetime, women are more likely to take leave from the workforce and return to paid employment on a part-time or casual basis, which influences their lifetime superannuation savings,” the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found.

Statistics also show less women than men are in paid work, and of those women who are working, more do parttime work. The median superannuation balance for older women was around 70-thousand dollars or 47 percent less than an older man’s superannuation balance.

Research by the Australian Human Rights Commission also suggested there may be more ‘hidden’ homeless women than the data reveals given ‘the tendency of women to self-manage their homelessness rather than utilising Specialist Homelessness Services.’ .. As Chili reflected on her own path in life, and its unexpected

twists and turns.

“I really thought I’d met the love of my life,” Chili said of her former partner.

“Coming here, we’re going to have a family, get away from all that modelling stuff, and it just went pear-shaped .. I thought I’d actually have a really nice house with a pool, I thought I’d have the perfect, picket-fence kind of lifestyle, but it didn’t happen,” Chili shared.

But for now, a one-bedroom apartment in Tweed Heads with a balcony for horticulture and a quick bike ride down the river for a morning swim is something, if not everything, for this ever-glamourous, ever-resilient woman who still has the horses, the racing industry and Ballina in her sights for hopefully final therapy.

“Equine therapy, where people like me - anyone really – can help people, just give them some joy in their life, I mean spend a day with a horse, you know it if you get a connection with a horse. It’s what keeps me motivated now to get back with them because the horses help me get through life, without them I don’t know where I’d be.”

And to her friends in the racing industry, Chili says ‘look out!’

“I’d love to rock up into Ballina and say ..

I’m here.”

In all her glory.

Distraction from this abject failure came for Morrison in the form of COCID19, as the pandemic swept the world it consumed all attention. But Morrison again failed to control Australia’s borders, thousands of COVID infected arrivals were allowed into the country with disastrous results.

Morrison quickly realized the State Premiers had all the power and immediately set about politically attacking them (except for Gladys) in a blatant effort at blame shifting.

As the pandemic rolled on Morrison had three policies to get right, quarantine, vaccine supply and economic stimulus. He failed monumentally on all three. Billions were allowed to be syphoned

Were the Attachment even opened? To read for themselves to know what the truth was/is but apparently accepted the references to those RLB Cost Estimate Report; then documented in ARUP and used extensively to the negating of our very needed rail corridor!

The most incredible cheers - is this massive support and praise for this destruction and the non-factual speeches in parliament as noted after reading the speeches of most of the MPs who voted to destroy, but factual evidence, wants and needs of masses of people for their train services ignored.

This is an increase of model-ling but for any living thing in that zone cata-strophic.

It is explained here: “When full, the dam acts to increase catchment all rain that falls directly onto the water surface delivered directly into the dam is spilling. This phenomenon results in increased peak magnitude events”.

The dam would do nothing to mitigate relative catchments of Rocky Creek and the combined creeks which provided by Rous in an email (which I can

The combined catchment upstream of Lismore is 1400 km². So, Rocky entire catchment.

Col is right in saying that part of Rocky Creek catchment is in the very high rainfall Nightcap Range. However, so are the catchments of other creeks which also in Lismore. According to Google, the highest rainfall areas in NSW are Nimbin, Dunoon and Modanville (and Mullumbimby). Given that only part of Dunoon’s rainfall goes into Rocky Creek we can conclude that the high Lismore comes mostly from catchments other than Rocky Creek.

All of this is backed up by the fact that Rous has never claimed that the Dunoon Dam would Dams are no defence against prolonged drought. rain. But that helps only

14 LETTERS & OPINIONS

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION decision. To quote another old homespun adage, these ego trippers are like the parrot on the side of the old Arnott’s biscuit tin, on the outside looking in. Arrogant, irreverent, irrelevant, and obnoxious to the extreme, it’s ego that keeps telling them that they matter, that the world is waiting with bated breath to hear their pronouncements, nothing could be further from the truth. The closet door has closed on that unfortunate period in Australia’s history, it’s the skeletons of those egos you can hear rattling.

Fred Perring Halfway Creek COVID Why is it that Australia follows Europe and America in everything they do to do with the pandemic when everything they have done is disastrous hello.

Furthermore. We know if the federal government didn’t lie about how many people were allowed overseas during the last two years, then the original 30 thousand so called Aussie refugees stranded overseas could have been back early 2019 and quarantined at Howard springs only. But as we know the federal government abdicated its responsibility of to the states and what a nightmare dogs’ breakfast that has become with Australia split in seven parts and western Australia never going to open to the rest of the country. Mandates don’t work and why wasn’t covid pills here in 2020 not now two years later talk about not being prepared pathetic.

In addition, the puppet at the behest of state and federal government’s give views and are clueless and scared to lose their

minutes of fame and what is it that the head shot is useless against omicron, yet governments are making it mandatory this could have been avoided if the federal government did the right thing from the get-go and get only use Howard springs as the quarantine centre and didn’t let anyone go overseas or let anyone in failure that has cost billions and lives as well, we need true leadership in this country which is totally lacking at Federal and state level both labour and liberals have failed us greatly.

Alan Mosley Yamba COVID RULES It was sad to see Novak Djokovic and other tennis players sent home for not being vaccinated but such are our covid rules variant into the country via vaccinated people but won’t let unvaccinated negative tested people into the country. The same is happening in our work sectors eg our health system is struggling but there are thousands of health workers not allowed back to work because they are unvaccinated even though they don’t have the virus.

But what was the battle between Novak and our Australian govt really about. Well, this is what one commentator said ‘It was nothing to do with containing the virus or about the validity of his medical exemptions. It was to do with the fact his opinions were different and that they could have aroused public debate.

Djokovic was sent back home because Australian authorities felt threatened.

They felt threatened that his presence ‘might’ encourage anti-vax

sentiment in Australia.

They felt threatened because Djokovic said that he supported freedom of choice two years ago.

Australia has chosen the low road and, in doing so, has put itself out of favour with Serbia and ultimately made itself the laughingstock of the world.’ to keep us safe from the virus but what have they really done as at the end of last year two people set themselves alight in Melbourne due to covid rules.

Here is a documentary that shows the battles Victorians have been under https:// www.youtube.com/ Lynette Evans Numulgi PUMPKINS I have no problems with people having opinions, I only get involved when untruths are used.

Alan Mosley, Lynette Evans, there is no such thing as Herd Immunity, it’s a myth spread by Politicians and Health Professionals have their comments published in journals, others have them published on YouTube comment regarding him, but Ted Strong said it all, Fred Perring for 50 years weather and 3 years La Nina then it stopped 10 years ago hopefully the cycle is back only time will tell. has been operating at Agnes Waters for over a decade, what’s not used in the 50-k area is paid by water rates.

The same could be used in the northern river’s catchment. If you didn’t know about the unit you won’t see it, it’s that well

done.

Finally, I have been accused of being a right Labour a left Liberal a manager has taken me put me into Renewables as they are paying 3-4% more and in 10 years’ time a poor investment, so now I’m a Liberal Now the Important Question, what is the life cycle of a Pumpkin Vine?

I have a self-propagated for over 2 years, I’ve steering wheels and have 6 more growing. Please constructive ideas not the tide height in Sydney P. J, Lake Ballina SENATOR WILKIE’S MIGRATION BILL Refugees: Time for a rethink who came here from head-hunted academic and Anglican priest, who is profoundly grateful for the opportunities this country has given him, but who grows increasingly alarmed at our treatment of persons seeking asylum, I write to voice support for Andrew Wilkie’s Arbitrary Immigration Detention Bill soon to be debated in Parliament. It offers hope not only to those held for painfully long periods in detention, but also to those like myself who want to be proud Australians when we go abroad and not ashamed ones.

Basic Concerns 1. Many Australian persecution in their homelands, and that we remember with pride Australia’s previous responses to the exodus

from Vietnam, and the massacre in Tiananmen Square.

2. Many Australians do care about our country’s tarnished international reputation as a formerly welcoming and compassionate nation, and they regret its failure to acknowledge the distinctive gifts that enriched our nation following our acceptance of earlier refugee intakes.

3. Many Australians are also concerned, even alarmed, at the inordinate wastage of taxpayers’ money spent on keeping refugees in detention year after year, when these same human beings might instead be contributing to our economy and our multicultural society.

The Right of Asylum As a signatory to the 1951 and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Australia has a legal as well as moral obligation to accept individuals found to be legitimately seeking asylum. And we have no right to impose penalties on the basis of their means of travel and the route they follow.

In other signatories detention of refugees is absolutely minimal — just long enough to process their application for asylum. In America this takes 55 days.

Australia takes years!

Asylum seekers are entitled to know for how long they will be detained: and once it is established that they are genuine refugees they should be released into the community. In Australia they have fewer rights than convicted criminals. For what are they being punished?

They have broken no law.

It is legal to seek asylum.

It would surely be

prudent, for budgetary reasons alone, to revise government policy.

According to the Refugee of detaining a person for a year is $400,000 offshore and $239,000 within Australia. This compares with just $12,000 for asylum seekers living in the community while their claims are processed, and less if they are allowed to work.

During pandemics we hear repeated appeals from employers that they are short-staffed. There are obvious health risks in recruiting workers overseas: but in asylum seekers held in detention, and in those living in the community on short-term visas, we have a ready supply of healthy workers who have risked their existing hospitals, schools and universities, and many businesses, were enriched by past waves of refugees, and this pattern could be repeated if the government was prepared to acknowledge the potential of those now held in unproductive (and expensive!) detention.

Conclusion Andrew Wilkie’s Bill will mandatory detention and offshore processing, and bring Australia’s policies and practices into line with international law.

I add my voice to that of local community groups which share my longing for generosity, justice and truth in the way in which our government responds to the needs voiced by, and the talents offered by, people seeking a new life in a land where few of us are actually indigenous, … most of our ancestors having arrived on boats, escaping persecution and poverty in homelands to the north.

Retiring Anglican Dean LESLEY APPS The religious leader and that lead Grafton through retire next month.

The Very Reverend Dr Gregory Jenks will be of Dean of Christ Church Cathedral Grafton in February.

Dr Jenks is on long service leave until he month, but said he will still be involved with the local Anglican school board despite returning to his former base of Brisbane.

Chair of the Clarence Valley Anglican School months,” he said.

Dr Jenks arrived in Grafton to take up the position of Dean in September 2017 knowing he would be requirement that clergy members retire at aged 70.

“And I turn 70 in March which is when my long service runs working right up until my expiry date.”

When he began his role as Dean of Grafton, Dr Jenks had a clear idea of what he wanted to bring to the regional centre located at the most southern district of the Northern Rivers footprint.

“My primary brief was to try and re-energise the Grafton Cathedral and refocus it basically back to where it was in Peter been in that space for the previous nine years. So those were the unwritten assumptions I came with.”

The space Dr Jenks is referring to is one of inclusion and social into his tenure as Dean before that was put to the test at a level not even his worldly experience could have predicted.

“The crazy week,” he calls it.

On Friday, March 15,

2019 Dr Jenks was in his car on his way back from his weekly trip to Brisbane when news broke of “a terrible shooting” in New Zealand. before I hit a blackspot I heard ‘the suspected Oh hells bells and it blacked out again. ‘They Oh my God. No,” Dr Jenks recalled absorbing the incremental information at the time.

The experienced clergy man drew on all his experience to manage what was now an international event and the focus it brought to the regional centre that was suddenly spotlight. anything of doing what I did when something like this happens but I was one of the very few answering their phone.

Everybody seemed to have gone to ground.” for navigating and

“As we saw over that initial weekend and probably rightly so, there was a huge amount of pushback to the out-oftown media presence, particularly when they followed members of the family and tried to interview grandparents and went into the backyard and all the rest.

“It is inappropriate behaviour but not unusual given the circumstances but that gave permission for

The media interest swelled around the cathedral and the town for the next few weeks, Dr Jenks one of the few public representatives that could articulate to the press the impact of the event and how the Grafton might deal with it.

Jenks said, he was also asked by some community members to run for local council.

“I had to kindly refuse. thank you very much.”

The aftermath of

the act of terror that thrust Grafton onto the international radar was soon derailed by another world event — a pandemic.

“Any progress we were making here was smashed just like every other community.”

He recalled Clarence thoughts of erecting a monument but thought “something for white extremists to rally around was the last thing we needed.”

As a “throw-away idea” at the time, Dr Jenks suggested a neutral peace pole in the Cathedral garden and “four years happening”.

Dr Jenks said in terms of a bigger picture, the point of a peace pole was to encourage the opposite mindset as what was demonstrated in Christchurch.

“For people to be open to different cultures. If you can cultivate that in Grafton then you are making a positive contribution.

“It’s unfortunate that the city fathers and mothers decided it was

he was also ahead of the game when it came to live-streaming services when Covid-19 shut everything down. in several decades the Grafton cathedral became the hub for the Anglican Dioceses because we were one every Sunday.”

He said initially the ‘technology’ involved three i-Phones, “one taped to a brass handrail and two on tripods” but was soon updated to “proper cameras and theatre lights”.

“It looked lovely towards the sanctuary but it was a mess of cables and power chords the other way,” Dr Jenks said. “Play church I called it because I couldn’t have anybody in the cathedral. It was

totally weird talking to an empty room but I knew they were there because they were commenting on screen.

We were getting several hundred people tuning in.”

Dr Jenks said the Grafton cathedral regained the kind of leadership role in the Northern Rivers it has previously lost.

“Because we had the early infrastructure in place we were ready to roll. We had guest priests from Ballina and the bishop (from Lismore) coming here for services.

Now parishes come here to look at what sort of set up they’ll need.”

Dr Jenks said while iit did reinvigorate the cathedral at one level, it made no different at the other more traditional one.

“Where do you expect to go with 60 people in the building and most of them are 85. They are beautiful generous people but that business model is not good.

At most there are a tiny handful of new generation churchgoers will to keep things going.”

One of the other gifts of the albeit brief Jenks’ era was the emergency food pantry he established which is still very much in demand today as it was when it opened early in the pandemic.

“It wasn’t popular with some of the church volunteers but it was a concern that people couldn’t get groceries.

They didn’t have the accessibility or the purchasing power to take advantage of the supermarket situation.

“We still have a huge clientele coming to us for help every week.”

Climate change was also a cause Dr Jenks’ wore on his ministerial sleeve when it wasn’t emblazoned on large banners on the grounds of the cathedral —Real Change by 2030 — one of the more recent examples cited to passers-by.

“The congregation here are more liberal and more into environmental issues than Grafton itself typically is,” Dr Jenks said.

It’s these kinds of leadership opportunities that were never lost on the retiring clergy man during his tenure.

“To be Dean of Grafton is a really privileged position.

It’s not the size of the congregation because you also have a role in the local community outside the church. It’s an incredible platform to A partisan role but an listen to you so you don’t want to blow it by going off half-cocked about every issue.”

After such a brief but rich legacy to leave the city of Grafton, Dr Jenks isn’t planning to take the usual route to retirement.

“I’ll be going back to the Middle East — Israel and Palestine for often and as long as I can. I love being there. It’s

WH E

name so it has become a generic peace pole with no mentioning of the event but that’s part of the realpolitik of being here.”

Apart from navigating the repercussions of the act of terror that tainted the Jacaranda City

for a time, Dr Jenks’ other big ticket item was the introduction of technology to the traditional church space.

“I’m going to be working on a research project on coins, manuscripts, icons and artefacts, exploring the intersection of culture and religion. I’ll also be picking up my Palestinian advocacy work after laying low for a while.”

After the recent Gaza strip attacks Dr Jenks said he couldn’t stay silent.

“I’m now on the executive of the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network and lobbying at Parliament House in Canberra so I’ll be back on the Israeli watch list for sure.”

Dr Jenks said he will miss the place where he spent an “interesting four years” and if he had any regrets about his time in Grafton it would be the lack of it.

“Leemo’s View” “LEEMO has views on just about anything”

‘POSITION AVAILABLE for Lizard... call Leemo’ ‘LEEMO CAT’ writing. Oooh, I am in horrendous strife. I figured I should share it (as evidence of cruelty) before I get locked away. No treats. No pats.

No brushes. No ‘Mum Jane’ lullabies at night.

No TV. No warm towel drying when I run in the rain. OMG! ‘Mum Jane’ shouted at me yesterday morning...like an angry banshee. Terrifying!

“LEEMOOOO...get in here immediately”. She was in the bathroom.

Crikey. I kinda slithered smoothly down the hall (like a snakie) toward the bathroom and said ‘Yes, my truly adorable Mother, how may I assist you.

Would you like a cup of tea & a ginger nut biscuit? I will fetch it immediately’. Hmmm.

NUP, THAT didn’t work. She shouted again ‘LEEMO, what did you do to ‘Marty’ our wee bathroom Lizard... all I can find is a bit of his tail?’ OMG. Well, in all truth, I had to fess up and admitted that I had eaten ‘Marty’.

YES, I KNOW cats can be affected by parasitic liver fluke from eating lizards but I couldn’t resist...gobble gobble gobble, munch munch munch...little fluffy Leemo, sitting down to lunch. I tried looking pathetic and unwell and did a nifty flukey fake shiver. Hmmm. THAT didn’t work either. I had to justify my actions by speaking. ‘Mum,

Mum started ‘Leems, “Marty Lizard” has been living in our bathroom for years...he ate little bugs and stuff and kept our bathroom clean...I am horrified and ashamed what you have done and VERY VERY upset and cross.’ EEEEK.

Ombudsman launches small business disaster preparedness inquiry The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson has launched an inquiry into small business natural disaster preparedness and resilience.

The inquiry, referred to the Ombudsman by Minister for Small and Family Business Stuart Robert, will examine and make recommendations to improve education and engagement programs to best target and assist

small businesses in preparing for natural “The impacts of natural disasters on small businesses can be devastating,” Mr Billson says.

“It can mean damaged and destroyed assets, reduced production and revenue streams, and sadly, a business-ending event in some cases that can have devastating personal impacts.

“Recovery can be lengthy - taking a heavy toll on small business owners, their staff and the broader community, but can be greatly assisted by good preparedness.

“The cost of natural disasters and the time it takes for small businesses to get back on their feet could be reduced by being better prepared, taking sensible risk and impact mitigation action and

bolstering resilience.

“Governments at all levels have a key role to play in ensuring people have the information they need to make informed decisions about how to manage the risks they face from natural disasters and how to be best placed to recover after an unavoidable event.”

The inquiry follows a recommendation in the 2020 Royal Commission into Natural Disaster

Arrangements that “State and territory governments should continue to deliver, evaluate and improve education and engagement programs aimed at promoting disaster resilience for individuals and communities”.

A recent report found 97% of government disaster-related expenditure was used for repairs and recovery and 3% on disaster-

preparation.

“Our inquiry will make recommendations about the types of supports that could be targeted to small business and how to achieve the best outcomes from those resources,” Mr Billson says.

Two new fenced off-leash dog parks to open Residents and their furry friends are set to enjoy some off-leash fun, with two new fenced dog parks due for completion in coming weeks.

The two new dog parks are at Bray Park Reserve, corner of Tree Street and Kyogle Road, Bray Park (Murwillumbah) and at John Baker Reserve, Darlington Drive, Banora Point.

Council engaged the local community to develop the Open Space Strategy (2019–2029), and the need for fenced off-leash dog parks was flagged as a key priority for the Tweed.

The community was consulted regarding the design of the dog parks and more than 200 residents provided their feedback.

“There are several positive benefits to off-leash dog parks including providing an opportunity for dogs

In memory of an ideas man SAMANTHA ELLEY Just before Christmas last year, Evans Head lost one of its champions.

Seen as an ideas man, as termed by his friend Stephen Blanch, Doug Behn was always thinking of ways to raise money or progress the little village he had called home for the last five decades.

Doug and Di, who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and their young family established themselves in Evans Head running the local service station where IGA now stands.

“Not long after arriving, my dad was diagnosed with Hodgkin

Lymphoma and had to go to Sydney for radiation and surgery,” said eldest daughter Prue Merritt.

“My mum ran the service station while caring for three kids under three.

“She wrote him letters every day on how the business was going because it was too expensive to call long distance.”

Despite being told he couldn’t have anymore children after his treatment, two more boys came along 10 years later, completing the Behn family.

Doug was involved in many different organisations in the town, including the Golden Oldies football team. He started up

Evans Head Chamber of Commerce and was a regular name on the ballot box for local elections.

He was the driving force behind many tourism campaigns including the Evans Head King Prawn Carnival.

“He served as a councillor on the Richmond River Shire between 1980-1984,” said Prue.

“Probably the most important aspect of his time as a councillor was when a lady left her car at what is now Razorback Lookout without the handbrake on and it rolled down the cliff to end up in the water.

“My father was

instrumental in getting council to spend money at the site so that this type of accident wouldn’t occur again.

“Since then, Razorback Lookout has become a significant part of Evans Head and is an integral part of the town’s tourist development.”

One project left unfinished that Prue and the family would like to see completed, was his idea of a charity calendar with the Golden Oldies boys.

Evans Head photographer Steve Blanch remembers when Doug first rang him with his plans for the calendar.

“So Doug says to me, ‘Blanchy you’re a photographer, right?’.

“I say in my head ‘Uh Oh!’ “Dougie says to me, ‘I want you to take photos of naked old men!’

“So Doug could be pretty persuasive when he had an idea and could pretty much convince you to do anything once he was on a roll.”

Despite his misgivings, Steve was soon meeting ‘old men’ in public places and asking them to take their clothes off.

“The ‘old naked men’ also seemed to be enjoying the experience and one of them I didn’t even have to ask to take his clothes off,” laughed Steve.

The project eventually stalled due to lack of volunteers.

“We needed four more

‘naked old men’ to get to the 12 we needed, but life got in the way of finishing the project,” said Steve.

Prue said she is determined to finish the calendar as a memorial to her ‘larger than life’ dad and has managed to find three more volunteers for the calendar.

“I need just one more Golden Oldie to step up,” she said.

The Northern Rivers Times is putting a call out for a Golden Oldie from the Mid-Richmond, willing to take his clothes off in front of the camera…for a good cause…and in memory of a real character?

“Being a young Indigenous male, he thought that maybe she didn’t want his help.”

“As he got out and approached her, with his face mask on in respect of her health and this Covid world we live in now, he asked if she wanted help and offered to do the lawn.

“She had responded ‘Are you sure? It’s a big job’.

“Eddie had then told her to go relax and he will get the job done for her.”

The story gets better as half way through his mowing Eddie received some extra help from his mate, Harold Torrens, who pulled up with his whipper snipper and mower after reading a post on social media.

Harold had saved Eddie an extra hour or so with his help.

Gwen said she had had offers from people in the past to do her lawn.

“They would do it for free but I’ve always believed in paying,” she said.

“Because the block is wouldn’t come back.

“I would be happy for Eddie and Harold to come back and do the lawn on a regular basis, as they did such a great job.

“I recommend them highly.”

Eddie said he would be back to mow the lawn again the next time it needed it.

Cattle auction 101

Photos: Lara Leahy

Smashing cattle prices LARA LEAHY The high price of cattle has held and even improved on the price hikes of last year.

This has positive and negative effects across the industry - great for those that have cattle, but much more difficult for farmers that don’t, and surrounding industry that finds it hard to manage with the prices.

Doug Robson, a market reporter for the MLA recorded the prices of vealers were between 600c and 936c per kilo (Doug was using a tablet to record the auction data for the first time at this sale).

Tegan George, a coordinator from the NRLX says, “We’ve smashed our all time top price record numerous times over the past few months. This is great for producers, especially after the devastating drought and bushfires of 2019.”

Tegan also remarked, “We are also starting to see the number of

cattle increasing with producers having had nearly two years of good weather to restock and breed. We already have three additional breeder sales booked in the calendar for 2022 which is an indicator of the increased number of head we will see go under the hammer early this year.”

On the flip side of this price excess, is the how the high cost of meat is impacting the industry.

Currently, due to the drought and fires, we are still in a situation of undersupply nationally and for overseas markets.

This in itself can put strain on contractual requirements without the price hike.

With cattle prices at an all time high and the race on to take advantage of the benefits while they exist, it is an interesting time for the industry.

One farmer I spoke to has fields of green, ripe for livestock to benefit from; but he can’t afford to buy cattle to take advantage of the

situation. And he adds, “there is no market for hay”. However he still attends the saleyard to keep up with how the market progresses.

Turnout at the sales are very low, due in part to the inability to participate. Covid is also a factor in the amount of people that go to the auctions which is difficult for many that would attend regularly.

Tegan comments on the difficulty as to how people cope psychologically, “with sales being a social event for producers; particularly those who are isolated and only come into town once a week or month.”

Industry ambassadors wanted For anyone actively involved in the meat industry looking for an additional opportunity might like to consider becoming an MLA Ambassador.

They are currently offering professional training for people to communicate the importance and value of the red meat industry.

“We want to create a united collection of voices that promote the great work happening in the red meat industry. We have a lot to be proud of – and want people to feel confident and proactive to tell their story.”

Several free programs are offered, and

The auctions start at 7.30am, but preparation begins much earlier. Sellers contact an auction agent and register the amount of cattle they are to sell by midday the day before, and stock needs to be at the sale yard by 8pm.

At 5am, the auctioneers are on site organising the cattle they are to sell, in what order and to write up their sales in preparation.

The sequence of auctioneers is drawn at each sale.

The cattle are grouped together, between up to 10 in each pen dependant on age, sex, colour, breed, seller and space.

“Dark cattle tend get higher bids,” comments Doug Robson an industry specialist. The occupants are not necessarily sold together, and it’s the bidder that often will separate the sale of the animals in a single pen.

To “write up” the cattle, the inhabitants of each pen is written out so the successful bidder or bidders of each holding can be logged easily. This is done with pen and paper over a digital format, as when the auction starts, there’s no patience for screen lag or internet down time.

This auction was grouped so the older cattle were sold off first. Followed by the stars of the day - the vealers. With the conditions right to fatten up cattle, these are highly sought after and command the highest prices.

The Auctioneers call out numbers - cents per kilo. These are

called at a rapid rate while the bidders raise a hand or nod a head - it is wise to be decidedly still while standing in the bidder fray, lest you end up with several head of pricey pets!

The bidders are generally known to the auctioneers.

Bidders buy for their own properties, commercial investment, or are professional buyers those that have a list of people that they represent.

I spoke to buyer, John Dorchester, “The cattle that I get today will go to different areas from Central QLD to Victoria.”

He is paid a commission per head of cattle.

“It takes a long time to gain the respect and trust to buy cattle for people.”

Buyers are generally familiar to the auctioneers. Once a bidder is successful, paint branders grab the long marker pole and colour affiliated with the buyer and stamps the cattle.

Then they are released from the pens and make their way to the scales. Once weighed, the cattle have their full price listed.

When selecting cattle to bid on, experience is required. The bidder needs to determine the condition and weight of a prospective purchase as the final price is subject to the total weight.

If you have been considering a visit, I would recommend grabbing your akubra and heading on down.

There are many friendly people there to help you understand the process.

February’s class will be on line due to Covid restrictions.

“Participants will gain new skills to effectively communicate with consumers about red meat production, industry sustainability and best practice farming.

“On completing the

program, participants join an alumni of some of the Australian red meat industry’s top ambassadors where they can share ideas and learnings.”

There is more information on the MLA Ambassador opportunity on their website mla. com.au.

short of RATs and other essentials The reported diversion of thousands of Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) kits to the Federal Government and has created enormous anxiety among local communities, and put pressure on local retailers in Northern NSW Labor Candidate for Page Patrick Deegan today said he had heard a number of reports of orders for RAT kits being redirected to the

Federal Government by suppliers.

“The Federal Government must come clean and explain what exactly is going on.

“The community also needs a clear indication of what the strategy is going forward.

“Retailers need to know exactly what the plan is so they know how much stock to order, and families need to know when they will be able

to access the RATs they need.

“At the moment we just have confusion and chaos.”

Patrick Deegan said that the spread of the Omicron variant has also caused interruptions to supply chains across Northern NSW, leading to empty shelves at supermarkets and other stores – including chemists.

“I’m deeply concerned

about the impact on the disruption to supply chains, especially for essential items such as food and medicines.

“I’ve also heard that lack of availability of some types of drugs for such conditions as cardiac medication are forcing older patients to access alternative brands, which can look different and cause confusion for older and vulnerable, potentially putting them

at risk.

“Given these unprecedented circumstances, it is more important than ever for people to keep an eye out for their neighbours and to lend a helping hand.

“Sharing items that are scare at the shops is one way that we will all be able to get through the coming few weeks.

“While we are all angry at the failure of the Federal Government

to take responsibility for managing this crisis, we must be careful to remain considerate of others in our community.

“Keep a supply of essentials, but don’t get more than you need.

And if you can check on you friends and neighbours to make sure they are OK.”

Recycled water connection to save four million litres In a Council initiative, the Beach Hotel, Byron Bay has connected to recycled water for its toilet facilities and garden irrigation, which will save an estimated four million litres a year from the region’s drinking water supply.

The connection and meter were delivered to the Beach Hotel through Council’s Recycled Water Scheme with support from regional bulk water supply authority, Rous County Council, for the hotel’s internal plumbing work.

The recycled water by their purple colour and onsite signage will indicate to hotel patrons where recycled water is connected and used across the premises.

Council’s Director Infrastructure Services, Mr Phil Holloway said Council has supported more than 10 local nurseries, sporting clubs, business and developments to make the switch from potable (drinking) to recycled water.

“On average, up to one Olympic-sized swimming pool of recycled water is being repurposed every 2-3 days via Council’s Recycled Water Scheme, which is reducing demand on our drinking water sources,” Mr Holloway said.

“Recycled water is clean, safe and cheaper

to use than drinking purposes, such as toilet landscaping irrigation and washing down of outdoor equipment,” he said.

“With the warmer months approaching and more extreme weather conditions occurring, it makes sense to take advantage of this alternate and secure water supply, where feasible.”

“Working with local businesses to become more resilient towards climate change is

something Council is very proud of,” he said.

Anthony Brady, General Manager of Beach Hotel, Byron Bay, says the business is committed to investing in sustainability initiatives that help minimise the venue’s environmental impact and contribute positively to the surrounding community. The water savings represent the equivalent of 1.5 Olympic swimming pools every year.

“We hope to see our connection to recycled water generate more

conversations around the value of water, where it comes from and ways we can conserve it,” Mr Brady said.

Council uses recycled almost all of Byron Bay’s public toilet facilities and irrigation of the Cavanbah Centre, the Byron Bay Sport and Recreation Grounds, and grass areas of Railway Park, Main Beach and the foreshore to Clarkes Beach.

Other local businesses using recycled water include Ingenia Holidays, Eden at Byron,

Envite Nursery, Byron Bay Herb Nursery, Rosewood Dairy Co., sporting clubs Byron Bay Rugby League Club (Red Devil Park), Club Byron, Byron Bay Golf Club, Byron Bay Surf Lifesaving Club, and Habitat.

Council is currently reviewing its Recycled Water Strategy towards 2030 and is trialling smart water meters on its Byron Bay clients which will help determine the effectiveness and future of the Recycled Water Scheme.

There are four Council

recycled water available at south Byron (corner of Broken Head and Bangalow Road, near the golf course), Byron Bay Depot (Bayshore Drive), Mullumbimby (recycled water storage ponds at the end of Casuarina Street) and Bangalow STP (Dudgeons Lane).

Applications to access Council’s recycled water made online at: https:// www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ Services/Water-sewer/ Sewer/Recycledwater#section-5.

‘No worries’ no longer the norm for the majority of Aussies Almost three quarters of Australians bear a grudge towards a person or business a new study by online reviews platform Trustpilot has found, yet 61 per cent believe it is possible to ‘forgive and forget’.

The research, which surveyed 2000 Australians, found that 72 per cent have a lingering resentment of some sort, such as a poor customer service experience, a

negative relationship experience (being dumped or cheated on), and occasions such as missing out on a job.

On average, Australians harbour five grudges at any given time with the average duration being six years, while 17 per cent admit to having maintained a grudge for 11 years or more.

Almost half (47 per cent) admitted holding a grudge had made them less trusting of

others, which could partly explain why more than a third of respondents regret holding a grudge.

The same number of respondents (33 per cent) admitted that their mental health had suffered because of ongoing feuds, and 68 per cent agreed or strongly agreed that holding a grudge is bad for your health, particularly mental wellness, anxiety, and depressive issues.

Clinical psychologist Dr Melissa Keogh supported this finding saying, “Ongoing feelings of anger, resentment and blame that commonly arise from interpersonal conflict - both in person and online - can be incredibly stressful.

A useful strategy to curb hostilities is the art of forgiveness.

“A wide body of psychological literature indicates that being able to make peace

with mistreatment and transform negative feelings into positive ones is incredibly beneficial. It can lead to an increase in positive feelings as well as a reduction in fear, depression, anger, and anxiety.

“Forgiving also contributes to a decrease in the desire or motivation for vindictiveness toward the transgressor,” Dr Keogh said.

The study also

found that four in 10 respondents admit to making quick and potentially unfair judgements about people, businesses, and situations. For some, the impact of holding a grudge appears to be greater online with 26 per cent revealing they can be less considerate when posting messages, comments, or reviews online than in person.

Renal patient’s impressive milestone

When Karen Diamond was 16 years old, she started feeling sick all the time.

“I was vomiting, I had headaches like you wouldn’t believe and I just had no energy,” she said.

“My dad took me to the GP who said, ‘oh, she’s just a teenager who wants attention’. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I got a referral to a specialist and had blood tests. Straight away I was taken to ICU and put on peritoneal dialysis.”

Karen was diagnosed with medullary cystic kidney disease, an inherited condition that causes the growth of cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys gradually lose their ability to work properly, and the disease causes other health problems before eventually leading to kidney failure.

There is no cure.

She went on dialysis

kidney transplant in 1980.

Unfortunately, the organ was rejected, so she was reluctant to try again. But she is forever grateful that she did – she had a second transplant at St Vincent’s in Sydney and that kidney has lasted for 40 years and counting. Only a handful of people have ever reached a 40-year milestone with a kidney transplant.

Karen, who now lives at Wardell, recently celebrated

the anniversary of this lifesaving procedure with her “amazing” medical team at St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Lismore, who have been looking after her since she moved to the Northern Rivers a number of years ago. They surprised her on the special day with a huge bunch of “The care I’ve received at St Vincent’s means everything to me,” she said.

“I have been very well managed by the team there, I’ve had absolutely no issues in all this time. I am just so, so grateful. I feel very lucky.

“If there is one message I could give people, it’s please consider donating your organs. Please talk to you family about your wishes. I get a bit teary thinking about how much it can change someone’s life. It is just the best present you can give someone.”

Covid impacts cause delays across council services Residents and other customers may experience delays when dealing with Council this month as the effects of the Omicron Covid-19 variant hit the Tweed.

Like many local businesses, groups and organisations, Council is also being affected impacts across Council’s 52 services, leading to longer response times.

General Manager Troy Green said new Treasury modelling, based on NSW, predicted up to one-in-10 workers would be absent due to Omicron at any one time during peaks.

“We are certainly seeing this played at a local level,” Mr Green said.

So Council can provide the best levels of service with available staff resources and to support our customers, Customer Service counters at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah are closed until Friday, February 4.

Phone, live chat (from January 17) and social media services are still available and there are plenty of other ways you can contact and connect with Council.

For more, visit www. tweed.nsw.gov.au/ contact-us You are still able to report Council issues, make a payment, check what bin goes out, report a lost pet, check the Emergency Dashboard,

see where you can walk your dog, view the DA Tracker, book a household cleanup, check current vacancies, change your mailing address, get your notices electronically, book an inspection or check a tender.

Mr Green said it was understandable people could become frustrated with changes, delays or reduced service hours.

“We understand it’s tough for everyone at the moment but when dealing with our staff who are able to be at

work, we ask that you be patient and be kind,” Mr Green said.

“We are still here and still serving the community in a COVIDsafe way. We aim to do our best to get to your request as soon as we can.

“Please only call if necessary and use our call back feature as we will be experiencing delays due to staff shortages.

“In more positive news, we are pleased to see the Federal Crisis Cabinet relax isolation

rules for our critical workers in water, wastewater and waste.

This means they would not have to quarantine immediately if they were an asymptomatic close contact who returned a negative rapid antigen test (RAT).

“This will greatly assist Council in ensuring these critical community services remain operational,” Mr Green said.

In other adjustments to maintain services, operating hours at Tweed Regional Gallery have been reduced to 10:30am to 2:30pm (Wednesday to Sunday). Daily guided tours are at 11:30am – 11:50am (maximum of four attendees per tour) and the café will be open 8:30am – 3pm.

Construction and collapse with Matthew Day at The Quad The Quad in Lismore is thrilled to present a twopart dance installation by internationally acclaimed choreographer, dancer and conceptual artist Matthew Day. In each piece Matthew Day will perform for three hours, inviting audiences to experience his performances in a non-linear format, much like an art installation.

There is no set

beginning and end, audiences can engage with the work at any point and can freely enter and exit the space.

“I’m excited about presenting these works in The Quad - a public, outdoor space where there is an element of the unknown, a space for the accidental encounter between artist and audience,” says Matthew.

“I haven’t presented

a work in Australia since 2016 and I’m really looking forward to seeing how Lismore responds.”

Assemblage Series will be presented Friday, February 4 from 3pm and Saturday, February 5 from 11am on a large leads from the entrance of the Gallery to The Quad.

Set to a soundtrack of bird calls, Matthew explores the point at which everyday movement becomes dance and plays with building materials and objects to investigate themes of construction, collapse and reconstruction.

The second work is the world premiere of False Idols, to be presented at The Quad on Friday,

February 18 from 3pm and Saturday, February 19 from 11am.

Matthew describes False Idols as the ‘underside’ of Assemblage.

Whereas Assemblage is calm, contemplative and industrious, False Idols presents a dystopian, escapist and sometimes apocalyptic response to the pandemic performed to a driving, beat heavy

soundtrack provided live

by DJ Guy Grey.

Matthew has presented works at leading festivals including Melbourne International Arts Festival, Mona Foma, Festival Faits d’hiver, Paris, Festival Antigel, Geneva and Perforacije Festival, Zagreb to name just a few.

Govt sets out Covidsmart plan to start school our students learning in their classrooms safely and with minimal disruption,” Ms Mitchell said.

“Activities students love, such as music, school sport and assemblies, will continue with settings in place similar to late last year.”

Students will return to school under Covid-smart settings that will minimise the risk of the virus and allow teachers and pupils to return safely to the classroom.

As part of the new measures, every student and teacher in NSW government and non-government schools will be able to receive rapid antigen test (RAT) kits before school returns on February 1.

The Covid-Smart Plan to keep schools open and students safe includes: • Twice a week surveillance testing for primary and high school students, school staff and early childhood staff.

• Surveillance testing will four weeks of term, with two weeks of supply distributed before term starts.

• Mandatory mask wearing for all staff and high school students, with masks encouraged for children in primary schools.

• Limiting interaction between year groups.

• Limiting visitors to those providing essential curriculum and wellbeing support.

• Covid-safe settings in place for music, sport and excursions.

• Maximising natural and mechanical ventilation, with

contingencies are in place including utilising retired and studying teachers.

The Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales Dr Geoff Newcombe AM said all three school sectors worked closely together to develop the back to school arrangements.

“School communities

where they are needed.

• Contingency plans in place to manage any disruptions to the workforce.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said supporting students to return safely to the classroom is vital after two years of disruption to their education.

“Students learn best at school, some students have spent a quarter of their schooling at home. We’re committed to bringing students back safely,” Mr Perrottet said.

“New Covid-smart measures will help make this happen, including surveillance testing both students and staff twice weekly with RATs. “What is most important about this approach is that it allows students to enjoy all aspects of their schooling in a safe and sensible way.

“The government is distributing more than 12 million RATs to over 3150 government, non-government schools and early childhood centres to assist with surveillance testing of staff

and students.”

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said testing complements other Covidsmart measures in schools, including mandatory vaccination for staff, increased vaccination coverage for students, maskwearing, cleaning, cohorting and limited visitors on-site.

“We have worked closely with the Victorian Government to create plans that achieve the same important goals of seeing

returning for Term 1 under these arrangements, which allow a wide range of activities to proceed with appropriate riskassessment and planning,” Dr Newcombe said.

Catholic Schools NSW Dallas McInerney said it is imperative that we have schools that are safe and that remain open. by their schools on how and when to collect the RAT kits for their children.

Lifeline for major events and festivals Organisers of major events and festivals that have been cancelled disrupted by Covid Public Health Orders will be supported by funding through the NSW Government’s Event Saver Fund.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the funding was a critical lifeline for major event organisers who have had to cancel, postpone or vary their events, providing

security and certainty to plan and deliver their future events in NSW. “Major events are a key economic driver that create thousands of jobs across the state. The Event Saver Fund will ensure that organisers aren’t left high and dry as we work through this latest phase of the pandemic and sends a strong signal that the Government is here to support business,” Mr Perrottet said.

Treasurer Matt Kean said the funding was recognition of the

important impact major events have on driving tourism as well as on the broader NSW economy.

“Festivals and major events are huge drawcards and they have been by the latest Omicron wave of Covid-19,” Mr Kean said.

“It is vital we provide them the support they need when their event is impacted by a Public Health Order. That is exactly what this funding commitment does.”

Minister for the

Arts Ben Franklin said while the pandemic has had a devastating effect on artists’ ability to perform live, today’s announcement shows the Government’s strong commitment to the arts.

“Major events provide tremendous

event organisers can

“As we look to rebound from the effects of the past two years, this funding will help support local jobs and ensure major

School leavers unlock their future at TAFE sessions Local school leavers are encouraged to explore their vocational education options at TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour information sessions this January.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said with students receiving their HSC results, now is the time for young people to attend a session.

“Local students can learn all about what’s on offer at TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour through virtual and on-site information sessions about exciting course areas such as Community Services and Mental Health, Accounting, and Finance,” Mr Singh said.

“Choosing TAFE NSW is an obvious choice for school leavers who want training that is relevant and focused on job readiness, and at TAFE

NSW Coffs Harbour they have plenty to choose from.”

Minister for Skills and Training Alister Henskens said the sessions will provide prospective students with an opportunity to explore the innovative range of course options.

“TAFE NSW students are in high demand because of the quality of their education and ability to hit the ground running with the job-ready skills that employers are looking for,” Mr Henskens said.

“There has never been a better time to study at TAFE, with the NSW Government funding a range of fee-free courses and training programs to help people get the skills they need.”

To register for a session visit www.tafensw.edu. au/information-sessions.

More seniors can now get $250 fuel card More Clarence and Richmond Valley seniors can go the extra mile for free with the NSW Government renewing and expanding the Nationals’ $250 Regional Seniors Travel Card, Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis has announced.

“Applications through Service NSW are now time, locals eligible for the Age Pension and receiving either a Disability Support Pension or a Carer Payment from Services Australia can now get the card,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“It is the Nationals policy the Labor Party tried, but failed to stop; last year more than 354,000 seniors including 12,000 in the Clarence and Richmond Valleys signalled their approval by successfully applying.”

Mr Gulaptis said Nationals Leader Paul Toole has secured the $250-a-year bonus for

older people living outside Sydney on the basis that country people did not enjoy the same level of subsidised public

transport as their city cousins.

“With petrol prices creeping up towards $2 a litre, this couldn’t come

at a better time,” Mr Gulaptis said.

Applications are now open and close on 30 November 2022. With

the latest COVID-19 health advice, it is strongly advised that rather than visit a service centre to apply

Rescuing birds from storms WIRES NORTHERN RIVERS The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a severe weather outlook for the 2021-22 Summer season, and already severe storms and heavy rain is playing havoc with our wildlife, in particular our native birds. are often found on the ground after torrential rain.

They become wet and bedraggled and do not to gain lift off.

Fortunately they are often not injured and can be reunited back with their families after a short time in WIRES

care.

Kookaburra named ‘Rous’ was found on the ground after consecutive days of heavy rain.

Rous was wet, dirty and hungry. After a bath, warmth and a feed Rous was returned home once the weather cleared.

Recently, a severe storm passed through the Northern Rivers.

After the storm Diane inspected her property and could hear what sounded like a baby bird inside a large branch that had fallen.

A chainsaw was needed to cut through the limb, and a very stressed and dirty baby Rainbow Lorikeet was saved after being trapped inside.

Diane called WIRES and kept the little bird warm until a WIRES volunteer arrived.

The Rainbow Lorikeet chick was cleaned up and placed in a humidicrib.

It has minor air-sac damage and will be raised in WIRES care and released when independent.

These two Kookaburra chicks have also been victims of severe weather.

The bigger one named ‘Dino’ was rescued after the storm last Saturday night.

Dino’s sibling died and scene when their tree came down.

The smaller Kookaburra chick,

‘Screamer’ was rescued after days of torrential rain.

Due to the shortage of old trees with natural hollows, Laughing Kookaburras excavate termite mounds to make nesting hollows.

The excavation weakens the mound and after days of rain the mounds will often collapse leaving Kookaburra families homeless.

In many such cases a nesting box can be erected, the chicks collected and placed in the nesting box, and as long as the adult birds are still on site they will happily continue raising their young.

Recently during a

period of consecutive days of rain we had four such incidents, four nesting boxes were erected and normal family life resumed.

In ‘Screamer’s case the adult Kookaburras sadly didn’t return.

Screamer and Dino will be raised together in WIRES care and released when independent.

After storms, please check for fallen trees or branches on your property.

Trees are home to a huge variety of wildlife, birds, possums and gliders just to name a few.

They rely on trees for shelter, nesting hollows and places to raise their young.

or any wildlife on the ground after a storm, put a towel or similar into the bottom of a box (with air holes), place the animal on the towel and cover the box so it cannot escape.

Put it in a quiet, warm room while you call WIRES on 1300 094 737.

This simple step can save lives!

Thank you to all of the members of the public who called WIRES and reported these rescues, these birds will now have a second chance to live wild and free.

MONTY DON’S AMERICAN GARDENS

ABC, 7.30pm

Monty Don knows British gardens. In fact, he’s been making TV shows about them for more than 30 years.

But what does the UK’s resident garden expert know about the land of the free? In this three-part series, which premieres tonight, Monty visits the east coast of America and begins his exploration on a classic American flowering wilderness – a prairie. While much of the prairie has disappeared, he meets a couple intent on reviving it. In New York, he lends a hands to locals in the Bronx who are trying to grow vegetables on rooftops, then learns about the history of the city’s most famous green space, Central Park.

The clever thing about this show is the way the creators can cycle through lead actors relatively regularly after their character’s stint on the remote Caribbean island of Saint Marie is done.

The regular refresh brings potential for new fans as the show is revamped. Now in its 10th season (and fourth detective inspector), the team – now led by DI Neville (Ralf Little) – work to solve the disproportionate amount of murder and mayhem that seems to plague this idyllic island. Tonight, the team is baffled when an archaeologist is poisoned during a dig and no evidence is uncovered to prove how it was done.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT

NBN, 7.30pm

Here we go again with the ninth season of this addictive charade involving pretend marriages, fame-hungry and/or plastic surgeryobsessed contestants and a highly optimistic chance at love. In past seasons, there have been a whirlwind of fights, affairs, outbursts and jaw-dropping behaviour overshadowing any tales of everlasting love, and that’s what makes Married At First Sight such a foamy and foolish cocktail; it’s frankly hard to resist. Guided by relationship “experts” John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla (above), the brides and grooms include 28-yearold DJ Jack Millar, Melbourne florist Jessica Seracino and American-born personal trainer Andrew Davis.

Huge demand for land drives values towards $3 trillion “The increase in Australia’s residential land values in 2021 was broad-based, with sharp increases recorded across every state and territory, resulting in the total value of residential land increasing by about a third, which is a remarkable increase given the recessionary conditions we have been through at times,” according to Pete Wargent of BuyersBuyers.

This is consistent with the Australian Bureau of Statistics that estimated that the value of residential land in Australia has increased from $4.9 trillion to $6.6

part of the increase in land values is baked in.”

“The demand or land for residential property purposes is exceptionally high right now. We expect to see a further increase in land values, and consequently, free-standing houses are highly likely to enjoy strong capital growth in the long term, in most of the established areas and landlocked suburbs in the country.”

“We expect that the demand for land will remain strong, and land values are highly likely to deliver strong price increases, particularly in the long term” Mr Peleg said.

Mr Wargent said, “at face value, there has been a huge increase in the value of residential land, more than doubling over the past eight

Coastal land values outperforming Doron Peleg, CEO of BuyersBuyers said that the growth in Australia’s population has been a key factor in rising land values, alongside structurally lower interest rates and an increase in Australian household wealth.

Mr Peleg said, “take the state of New South Wales, where the estimated resident population has increased by round 3 million over the past four decades, while the average number of persons per household has declined

However, homebuyers should understand how to interpret the headlines, according to Pete Wargent, co-founder of Australia’s

NSW land values set to pass $3 trillion Mr Wargent, co-found of BuyersBuyers said: “Warren Buffett said that when you’re buying stocks you should think about buying part ownership of a business.

It’s a slightly different proposition when you’re dealing with residential land, because most market participants are buying homes to live in rather, than purchasing purely as an

investment for the economic value, although you can apply similar principles.”

Mr Wargent said: “the value of residential land in New South Wales hit A$2.67 trillion in the 2021 to the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates.

For some interesting context, Apple became the be valued at a US$3 trillion market capitalisation earlier this month”.

“To put that another way, and to paraphrase the great man Mr Buffett, for the same value of the Apple business today you could buy all of the residential land in the New South Wales and still be left with about a trillion Aussie dollars or so of walking around money.”

“Buffett also says that he likes to buy stocks with the assumption that the market could close next day and not open again for 10 years and that’s not a bad mindset for property buyers to take either”.

“The total value of Australian residential land may appear to be at nosebleed levels at $6.6 trillion, but land values always feel expensive, and they will be much higher a decade or two from now”

Mr Wargent said.

“A key drawcard for longterm investors in land and property is the survivorship factor. Apple is a wonderful business, no doubt - but nobody can say for sure which companies will be the most valuable in another four decades from now.

“40 years ago in 1980 the largest corporations list was dominated by Big Oil and energy, Ford, General Motors, and IBM, for example, but the economic landscape has shifted dramatically away from the dominance of these businesses”.

“Property will continue to go through cycles, but welllocated residential land in cities such as Sydney and the desirable coastal suburbs of New South Wales will still be in extremely high demand 40 years from now, hence its enduring popularity”.

“However, you need to know where to buy, as not every property on a large piece of land will deliver strong price appreciation – a forward-looking view and detailed analysis is required to identify sound opportunities in this highly competitive market,” Mr Wargent said.

“To make matters worse, all the suburbs in this report are in areas with very low vacancy rates, so even if tenants were prepared to move one or two suburbs hard to secure accommodation. That gives investors considerable market power.”

Mr Spencer said tenants in these suburbs might want to consider buying, especially if rents had increased to a point where they were now more expensive than mortgage repayments.

That said, Mr Spencer noted that some of these suburbs had high levels of disadvantage, as measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which would make it hard for local residents to get onto the property ladder.

“Tweed Heads South and Tweed Heads West, for example, are located in an area in the bottom decile, which means their area is more disadvantaged than South Wales. That makes it hard for tenants to afford rising rents and to save a deposit,” he said.

52 MOTORING REVIEW

THE FUTURISTIC IONIQ 5 EV TURNED HEADS WHEREVER IT WENT

IONIQ 5 IS A FUTURISTIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE

ALISTAIR KENNEDY

Those cheeky chaps from Monty Python may well have had the new IONIQ 5 in mind when they coined their “And Now For Something Completely Different” catch-phrase.

A futuristically-styled mid-sized SUV, the IONIQ dedicated battery-electric vehicle as distinct from the Kona SUV and IONIQ hatchback models which also come with hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants.

Although it carries Hyundai badging, the SUV IONIQ 5 is the Korean company’s new sub-brand and joins the luxury Genesis marque but with EV only models.

The existing IONIQ hatchback variants (hybrid, plug-in hybrid and EV) will continue to be sold as Hyundais, but future dedicated EV including a sedan (IONIQ 6) and large SUV (IONIQ 7) will sell join the IONIQ 5 under the new brand name.

IONIQ 5 is available in one grade, with the option of a rear-wheel single motor layout or a dual motor (rear and front) AWD. Our test car was the AWD variant with Hyundai’s HTRAC multi-mode system and in metallic Galactic Grey, one of six exterior colour options.

STYLING As always there will be opposing opinions about external styling and that’s even more likely when something as adventurous as IONIQ 5 comes along.

We absolutely loved everything about it, a few were non-committal, while a couple hated it. One thing that was consistent as we drove the car around for a week was that it didn’t go un-noticed.

Although EVs don’t need a conventional grille most models to date have been based on petrol or hybrid vehicles any so usually end up with a closed-off version of the grille.

Because IONIQ 5 is all-new from the ground up its designers have been allowed to let their creative juices run free. The front of the car features two narrow glass strips, the top one with twin rectangular LED headlamps outside of orange turn indicators on either side and sensors and a camera in between.

Below there’s a fullwidth string of LED daytime running lights beneath while at the bottom there is a pair of

needed to provide cooling to the various pieces of componentry above.

On the side a diagonal crease runs from high in the front doors down to the base of the rear ones with a neat lined panel at the bottom of the doors. against the doors and pop out when unlocked. The wheels are 20-inch alloys with a complex design.

Throughout the exterior of the IONIQ 5 car there’s a small square design that’s most noticeable at the rear lighting panel with, as at the front, the name in the centre and rectangular taillights surrounding the turn indictors.

INTERIOR The innovative design features continue inside the IONIQ 5 Comfort features include a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and an adjustable centre console. The front seats are 12-way power adjustable and come with a ‘Relaxion’ (zero gravity) mode.

Perfect for lying back and having a quick nap while the car is charging.

IONIQ 5 has a threemetre wheelbase and that contributes to a level of rear legroom that you’d get in a luxury sedan. All seats are power adjustable with a memory function which can be set through the digital display screen.

A vision glass roof with a powered sunshade is standard in both models.

There are a number of “why didn’t someone think of that before?” features including a padded bar that runs the length of the interior doors instead of conventional handles, a glovebox that slides in and out and a small magnetic pad on the right edge of the

display panel where you can pin notes, photos, etc.

The charge point is at the rear driver’s side with both AC and DC sockets. The cables are located under the front bonnet including a very clever Vehicle to Load device which plugs into the car’s AC port at one end and a standard power plug at the other allowing for multiple uses including providing power to another electric vehicle.

During our week we found a practical use when we had a black-out at home but were able to plug in a kettle and have a welcome cuppa while we waited for the power to come back on. Amazing!

Full charge through a standard domestic power point is upward of 24 hours. However, it’s likely that anyone buying an EV will invest around $2000 in a home charging wallbox.

This will reduce charging time to around six hours while an ultra-fast charger can charge from 10% to 80% in around 18 minutes.

We’re currently in the process of having a wallbox installed at Charge, Australia’s leading installer of EV charging equipment who partner with Hyundai as well as most other EV brands including Tesla, Volvo, Porsche and Audi. We’ll do a follow-up News story to report on how it all works out.

DRIVETRAIN The IONIC 5 RWD has a single 72.6 kWh battery mounted at the rear and producing 160kW of power and 350 Nm of torque with a listed WLTP range of 451 km.

The AWD version has batteries at the front and rear with outputs of 225 kW and 605 Nm but less range, at 430 km.

INFOTAINMENT The IONIQ 5 has two 12.3inch screens embedded into a single panel. A digital instrument cluster in front of the driver and a Multimedia navigation unit in the centre.

There are three USB ports at the front and two more at the rear with 12volt sockets at the front and another in the boot.

Wired-only Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard as well as wireless smartphone charging.

Sound is through a BOSE eight-speaker premium audio system.

Satellite navigation includes details of the closest charging stations and a driving radius on how far the battery will allow the car to reach.

SAFETY Standard safety features include seven airbags; front and rear autonomous emergency braking; front and rear parking sensors; blind spot monitoring including camera coverage; lane departure warning; lane keep assist (which can be temporarily turned off by those of us who like to steer the car ourselves without interference); smart radar cruise control; safe exit alert; rear seat occupant alert; driver inattention alert; and an interactive surround view monitor including a 360-degree overview; remote smart parking assist which allows the car to be moved remotely; and two ISOFIX child seat mountings.

DRIVING Pressing the unlock button on the key fob opens the door handles which sit the car.

The driver’s seat is comfortable and supportive and the overall ambience of the interior sets the scene for an enjoyable travel experience. The driving position is fairly high even with the intrusion of the sunroof and visibility in all directions is excellent.

The chunky steering feels great but does tend to obstruct the driver’s view of the instrument panel and the steering wheelmounted gear selector.

We love driving electric vehicles at the best of times but the IONIQ 5 takes that enjoyment to an even higher level. It cruises effortlessly and with such a large amount of instant torque on offer it can accelerate sharply when needed.

Smart regeneration braking to extend range can be adjusted through steering wheel paddles including an i-Pedal feature which allows single-pedal driving.

There are three drive modes: Normal, Eco and Sport.

The only downside with the IONOQ 5 is in the ride and handling especially through corners where we found ourselves backing off. Typically, most Hyundai and Kia models input into their cars’ tuning but that didn’t happen with the IONIQ 5, possibly because of Covid-19 travel restrictions.

SUMMING UP Motoring journalists are inevitably asked what their favourite car is. After spending a week behind the wheel of the IONIQ 5 it has certainly earned a podium spot and, with the expected ride and handling tweaks, would likely move to the top spot.

We love its exciting

styling both outside and in its bright, spacious and airy interior.

No review of an EV can be complete without reference to the price / range equation. All EVs are very expensive when compared to conventional vehicles, including hybrids.

At $71,900 for the IONIQ 5 RWD and $75,900 for the AWD it sits at the higher end of the segment.

Offsetting the high price, its potential range of up to 450 kilometres makes it more practical than many of its competitors.

If you’re willing to trade-off a lower range for a more affordable price a base model IONIQ 5 will arrive here at a date to be advised later.

Standard warranty is kilometres. There’s an eight-year, 160,000 km battery replacement warranty, MODEL RANGE IONIQ 5 160 kW 2WD: $71,900 IONIQ 5 225 kW AWD: $75,900 Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges.

Contact your local Hyundai dealer for driveaway prices.

TRAVEL 53

Ready to relax

If you’ve watched the TV miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers, you’ll recognise Soma, in Byron Bay’s hinterland.

This lush pocked of the North Coast was the perfect perch for a wellness haven; being amid nature makes you feel good, after all. But the team here take healing to new heights, offering retreats that feature Vedic meditation, yoga, acupuncture, Ayurvedic meals and ice baths. Spaces are with expanses of glass allowing wildlife to peek in.

Also swathed in green is Eden Health Retreat in the Gold Coast hinterland, set across 160 hectares of Queensland’s verdant Currumbin Valley.

Freshly renovated, the

property offers every luxury imaginable, from the earth-element-dressed suites to the dreamy spa offering massages and facials as well as kinesiology and astrology sessions. Eden is about slowing down and appreciating nature, whether on hikes or during al fresco crystalbowl sound healing, with plenty of diningroom nourishment thanks to the all-organic menu.

Nutritious cuisine is also a highlight at Samadhi, where chefs create personalised wellness menus highlighting the bounty of the Daylesford region the retreat calls home. This is Victoria’s spa country, so it’s no water on the menu, drawn from local springs. The architect-

designed villas are your base for immersive multi-day

yourself having a crystal salt scrub, practising Pranic breathing or trying art therapy.

On Australia’s west coast, Injidup Spa Retreat overlooks a secluded beach in Yallingup. This corner of Western Australia is home to the Cape to Cape Track, a spectacular coastal trail dotted with turquoise rockpools you’ll want to explore during your stay. That’s if you can manage to extract yourself from your adults-only villa (there are 10), replete with pool. Be sure to make time for the indulgent Bodhi Spa, where scrubs, massages and facials relieve hikeweary limbs.

Restockers were active in the market, purchasing the largest percentage of the cattle.

Cow prices remained strong averaging 326.6c/kg and reaching a top price of 376.2c/kg.

“Food scarcity is not actually a problem in Australia, but the pictures you see on the nightly news would have you believe there’s not a single cucumber or head of lettuce left,”

REFORMS NEEDED TO FIX SUPERMARKET SUPPLY NSW Farmers President James Jackson says the Federal Government urgently needs to address supply chain failings in the fresh food sector.

Many Australians were concerned to see images of fresh food departments stripped of produce, which was an “entirely avoidable” situation according to Mr Jackson.

“Food scarcity is not actually a problem in Australia, but the pictures

you see on the nightly news would have you believe there’s not a single cucumber or head of lettuce left,” Mr Jackson said.

“We have been warning government and the big retailers of the problems in their supply chain, and here we are: empty shelves at supermarkets while greengrocers and markets are fully stocked.

“The savvy shoppers know where to get their food, but the government needs

!"#$%%&'$%%()&*+!##,(

to make sure everyone is doing the right thing when it comes to food security.”

Australia has the most concentrated supermarket sector in the world, with a 70 per cent market share for the largest two chains, and 90 per cent market share in the hands of just four supermarkets. However, COVID has brought these enormous supply chains to their knees in recent weeks, and Mr Jackson said it was an entirely avoidable

situation.

“A year ago the ACCC’s Perishable Goods Inquiry warned that ‘in most perishable agricultural goods markets, there are many farmers, but few processors or wholesalers, and even fewer major retailers’ – what we are seeing now is a direct result of this market imbalance,” Mr Jackson said.

“The fact that online grocery orders from major retailers are now being

delivered by independent taxi drivers reinforces the resilience of smaller agile businesses to deliver when big and monopolised systems are on their knees.

“Aussie families deserve better than a supermarket system that fails to adapt to change in this way, and it is the government’s responsibility to put in place the safeguards to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

58 RURAL NEWS NSW FARMERS WELCOMES ADDITIONAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

NSW Farmers President James Jackson has thanked the state and federal governments for listening to calls for additional natural disaster declarations.

Disaster assistance is now available in 13 additional local government areas of Blayney, Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Cabonne, Cobar, Gilgandra, Gunnedah, Gwydir, Narrabri, Port Macquarie Hastings, Upper Hunter, Warrumbungle and Weddin.

“This will no doubt come as a relief to many farmers and rural communities who have been seriously impacted by this rain and said.

“Minister McKenzie and Minister Elliott are to be commended for listening to the community and extending these natural disaster declarations.

“While there is still substantial rain on the radar for the weekend and no doubt many will be closely watching announcement will give some assurance that recovery and rebuilding can begin once the waters recede.”

The possibility of bare barbecues on Australia Day should be an alarm bell to all sides of politics

MEAT SHORTAGES EXPOSE SUPPLY CHAIN FAILINGS The possibility of bare barbecues on Australia Day should be an alarm bell to all sides of politics, NSW Farmers says, with the major retailer supply chains continuing to struggle.

NSW Farmers President James Jackson said ongoing failures to prevent anti-competitive behaviour had led us to a handful of companies controlling most of our meat supply, and called on the Federal Government to address the issue.

“COVID is hitting everyone, but vulnerabilities in our food supply chains are particularly concerning,” Mr Jackson said.

“Farmers are telling us there are bottlenecks in the meat industry because of a shortage of Rapid Antigen Tests, combined with changing rules around isolation, which is

a real headache for processors.

“Of course we don’t want people working while sick or infectious, and we need to avoid any further disruptions to the system at this time, but long term this situation cannot continue as is.”

Years of corporate mergers and buy-outs in

Australia’s retail sector have led to a few major players dominating the market, and when their supply chains fall over so too does our national food supply. Mr Jackson said the Federal Government should look at what the United States is doing to rein in anti-competitive behaviour.

“President Biden is actively pursuing better competition in their meat sector, and I think it’s high time our government acted on the many reports and inquiries that have recommended reform,” Mr Jackson said.

“We have seen independent supply chains avoid the worst

of the squeeze here in Australia, surely better competition would deliver better results for consumers.

“What we need is a two-pronged approach: more RATs today to get things moving, and real competition reform tomorrow to make sure this never happens again.”

NEW LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY FOR THE RECREATIONAL FISHING SECTOR IN NSW Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall has today released the inaugural Recreational Fishing Annual Report, delivering a new benchmark in accountability and transparency on the projects and services licence fees.

Mr Marshall said the Annual Report showed $19 million in projects had been funded through the Recreational Fishing Trust in 2020-21.

“In 2020-21, 89 projects worth more than $19 million were approved. These projects are diverse as building

safety infrastructure and

“They also fund some of our most popular ongoing programs such as Fish Aggregating Devices, Offshore

STARS 61

Aries Mar21 21 - Apr ARIES MAR - APR 19 20 Clearly you are more than cable of expressing your needs and requirements to others. You know what you want and cleverly are able to bring about the outcome you desire.

Especially professionally, you’re paving the way for new responsibilities or even a promotion. Your relationships and love life improve immeasurably too, with invitations and proposals making life seem a bit of a whirl. Any physical activities are less of an effort than usual. Put your sneakers and do the exercise you enjoy most. Work-wise this week is full more interesting ones. You appreciate much more that you’re doing well in your job and can celebrate your continued success. It’s possible that all your excellent hard work pays off and there’ll be some recognition sooner than you expected.

TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20 Practice more self-restraint, far too easily you feel you’re deliberately provoked, even over the slightest matters. Without warning your excess energy erupts in a bad temper.

Obviously this isn’t acceptable to those you know, self-discipline and compromise is essential.

Such relentless behavior results in problems both at home and at work. Watch out that these excesses don’t become a noticeable feature in other areas of your life.

You need to be more self-aware and make sure that it doesn’t. Life is constantly throwing new challenges your way. It seems as if you have to prove yourself again and again. Tasks that lay ahead can’t easily be handled by your normal routine. The extra effort required is tedious and stressful, which is one reason why you’ll feel rather touchy and slightly irritable.

Nevertheless, keep a cool head – otherwise you’ll just make things worse.

GEMINI MAYMay 21 - JUNE Gemini 22 - 20 June 23 express yourself, you run the risk of alienating people with your unthinking attitude towards them. You’re totally preoccupied with matters that are important to you and concern you alone, and therefore appear very demanding. A far more diplomatic approach is required, make your request in an appropriately polite way and you’re less likely to cause offense. Always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself and create a stress-free environment for all. Concentrate on one particular activity, namely keeping a cool head. Your tolerance for any mistakes is at an all-time low; you react instantly to failure and misunderstandings. You run the risk of becoming bogged down in unproductive disputes. You should bring more self-control into your routine. Why not cancel a few meetings and concentrate on what is most essential!

Cancer Jun - Jul CANCER JUN 21 -24JULY 22 22 You are capable of being extremely productive and making a success of whatever you do. However be careful of over-reacting if you feel threatened; you tend to respond bad-temperedly or even insensitively. Hold yourself back if confronted and refrain from making enemies or from the temptation to deliberately provoke others, behavior like this is very unproductive and likely to cause you unwanted problems. Step back from time to time and use your energy both purposefully and thoughtfully! You’re really motivated; with so much energy you must direct it towards a positive goal. You’ll be surprised how much you achieve. But take care not to get involved in any contentious issues with colleagues.

You’re not particularly good with anyone who objects to your methods; you’re easily wound up. If you’re behaving this way, you need to practice some selfcontrol.

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 Make a point of conserving your energy. You’re unnecessarily prone to squander any reserves you possess with stubborn and bad tempered behavior and get yourself worked about nothing.

Pause to think and reconsider what’s really important to you and what is not! It’s possible that deliberate confrontation at work or in your private life is important. You discover that sometimes taking a step back is necessary to further advance your point of view. You effortlessly take care of everything. You’re especially skilled in solving any awkward situations that crop up. When it comes to disputes amongst colleagues, you’re the perfect mediator and even in negotiations you’ll stand your ground. Take care of your personal affairs. Don’t postpone important decisions; decide what to do now! You can rely on your intuition.

VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 22

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 Rising energy levels affect your love life and generate a lot of passion.

Avoid arguments; the passion you engender could create the opposite of what you desire. Don’t be too impulsive; think carefully before starting a quarrel with your lover. If you’re single; don’t do anything too outrageous, take things slowly, don’t alienate the very person who may be important to you. Try handling your additional energy with some caution.

If you‘re not careful you might become involved in endless conversations that completely waste your time.

Focus on projects that are not likely to risk upsetting people that you will probably need in the future. For example, campaigning against your boss will probably be draining and challenging and therefore it may be better to use your surplus energy doing some healthy exercise. Again, the general rule is: Everything in moderation.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19 Your job helps to build your self-

ready to make improvements both at work as well as on the home front in ways you have not attempted before.

It’s easy for you to lose control and become embroiled in arguments which can cause problems that dent your pride. The maxim to follow is; to think twice before you act and proceed one step at a time with extra caution. Don’t let yourself be so easily provoked, consider situations sensibly before you to proceed. You’ll encounter a situation at work this week, which will irritate you immensely. Try to remain calm! Often the worry is not worth it. Nearly always At the same time you shouldn’t be too complacent!

If there are fundamental problems, try to phrase your opinion in an objective and carefully considered manner.

LIBRA SEP - OCT 22 23 Libra Sep2323 - Oct You’re keyed up, enthusiastic and feel able to accomplish everything you set out to achieve. If you are striving for more professional responsibility, show others what you are capable of, demonstrate your abilities, it’s easy to realize your goals without unsettling those who may previously have felt threatened by your ambition. Your opinions are acknowledged and the ideas you have on almost any matter accepted. This applies to all discussions; you’re able to convince others of your point of view.

Your agreeable attitude towards work and others succeeds. With friendliness and thoroughness you’re able to create a no-nonsense working environment.

It’s important that your colleagues appreciate the way you’re involved with them and are attentive to what you have to say. You’ll be pleased about the trust received from colleagues. It’s time to take on more responsibilities.

Scorpio Oct2324- NOV - Nov SCORPIO OCT 21 20 You competently master your responsibilities and bring rationality as well as creativity to the table. This obviously noticed by your colleagues and makes you a well-liked team member. You should utilize this momentum to move projects forward that are important to you. It’s easy to elicit enthusiasm for your ideas from your colleagues and superiors, so go for it! Instead of always attempting to get your own way, and endeavoring have enough energy yourself to work a bit harder and accomplish what you need. If tempted to argue with others it’s far better to give in, especially if what’s to stop you holding on to what you believe in and waiting for a more favorable opportunity to put your point across, when you have thoroughly thought it through.

on fewer things and be able to deliver excellent results. You should go easy on your colleagues, who might not pick up on your actions or respond in the way you want. Try to be a good example in terms of diligence, perseverance, and creativity. Worrying about competition is not necessary right now. Asserting yourself in a meaningful and pleasant manner you’re able to motivate others and if need be respond positively to those who seek your advice. Your reserves of energy stand you in good stead and as long as you prioritize what is important you are likely to succeed.

Such an unwavering approach earns you the respect and support of those close to you. You’re able to pay attention to detail, not demand too much, accomplish what you set out to achieve and take full responsibility for the outcome.

AQUARIUS janJan 20 - 21 feb-18Feb 19 Aquarius You can make things happen and be enormously effective. The advantage you have that makes you a winner is the pleasure you derive from the projects you undertake. You’re able to accomplish your goals and show consideration for others. You have an excellent sense of what to do and say in certain situations and which ones to avoid. You should rely on that sense! You inspire others with your ideas and plans, your cool, calm and collected approach wins people over and they have little reason to refuse the advances or suggestions you make.

Proposals you put forward at work are also met with a to deal with, are willing to listen. Take this opportunity to develop new strategies you can implement in future, that provide you with a foundation to overcome any tough times that may possible lie ahead of you.

PiscesFEB Feb PISCES 19 -20MAR- Mar 20 21 of dedication and perseverance.

Don’t let the work which has accumulated daunt you. Your problem is not necessarily the workload but the planning; rushing ahead and impatience can easily lead you to get lost in unimportant stuff. Before starting to work, you should take a little break, think things through, and plan your next steps. You possess a higher than usual level of pent up anger that needs dealing with in a constructive way, if you don’t want to suffer from the consequences. Ease up on the talking and avoid putting others on the defensive.

If you require help from others be more patient and diplomatic in the way you approach them. Even if you personally feel on top form , be prepared to take things at a more leisurely pace otherwise you may suffer setbacks from unnecessarily taking on far more than you able to handle.

Smart future of cardiac care

Life Care

What do you need?

One of the most important questions you can ask someone who is dealing with grief is: ‘What do you need?’

!"#$"%&! BOWEN THERAPY GENTLE, SAFE & VERY EFFECTIVE PAIN RELIEF

This simple question was put to me at a poignant time in my life and the shift it created was immense. I was 20 years old and had just lost the love of my life in a motorbike accident.

He was my world and the first person I knew that had died. I didn’t know how to handle it. Part of me felt disconnected to everyone and everything, and the feeling lingered for quite some time.

My beautiful Mother opened her arms and the door of the family home to me. She nurtured me unconditionally, with a most selfless heart. She allowed space and time for grieving, but I always felt her loving presence. And it was she who asked that most important question; ‘What do you need?’

Grief produces a range of emotions that we will all encounter from time to time. Expressing our difficult feelings can be a real challenge, especially when there is no solution. Having someone be present, who will sit with you and acknowledge your emotional pain can be one of the most soothing gifts to receive. It is with our presence we offer what words sometimes, cannot.

When someone close to us has a life limiting illness or they have just passed away, the stages of grief begin to unfold within our inner world.

After receiving distressing news, connecting to those you feel most at ease with is an effective way to ensure your needs can be met.

And serving within your community are the End of Life Doulas. Having experienced our own depths of grief and heartache, we are people who feel comfortable supporting you and your loved ones emotionally, spiritually and culturally. Regardless of circumstances.

Transport workers thrown to the wolves A reckless decision to wind back close contact isolation requirements for asymptomatic transport workers will threaten the health and safety of workers and exacerbate disruption within the supply chain, says the Transport Workers Union, as it calls on the prime minister to meet with concerned unions.

NSW Health’s decision to wind back selfisolation requirements for close contacts who work in critical industries like food logistics means employers will be able to prioritise operational matters over the safety of workers. The union is urging the prime minister to include unions in an urgent supply chain meeting scheduled for Sunday afternoon to properly hear their concerns.

“Scrapping isolation requirements for transport workers is beyond reckless - workers are being thrown to the wolves by a government that continues to ignore all the warnings,” said Michael Kaine, National Secretary of TWU. “We know even if you’re asymptomatic you can still spread the virus. Requiring potentially sick people to go to work won’t make supply chains healthy.

Sick drivers won’t get stock onto supermarket shelves any faster but it will certainly help the virus hitch a ride across Australia.”

The decision requires

Hospitality sector calls for wage subsidy

asymptomatic close contacts to wear masks and take daily rapid antigen tests, but the union says RATs alone don’t offer enough protection as they won’t pick up every Covid-19 case.

“Someone who is a close contact is by definition the greatest risk of passing it on - the NSW government is effectively scrapping the last buffer we had left to protect workplaces.

“To rebuild a healthy workforce we need to have isolation requirements and rapid testing working together - we can’t have one without the other.

Testing combined with precautionary isolation is our best defence against this virus.

“The TWU wrote to the Prime Minister and National Cabinet in September and October urging governments to provide rapid tests to road transport workers to avoid unnecessary delays and keep drivers on the road.

“Instead, we have a completely predictable scenario where drivers are delivering rapid tests to be sold on the shelves of supermarkets and pharmacies - but they, like most Australians, can’t access them themselves.”

Almost two thirds of restaurant owners (65%) feel that the introduction of a new wage subsidy to help cover the costs of employees would be the most important initiative the government could introduce to help address rising cost pressures, according to the latest Deliveroo HospoVitality Index Report.

The survey, conducted

by YouGov and commissioned by Deliveroo in order to shine a light on the Australian restaurant sector’s priorities, revealed significant challenges related to staffing and cost pressures. Availability of staff remains a top concern, with two-thirds of businesses ranking it as a key challenge (64%), an increase of 5 points since mid-2021.

And when businesses are actually able to secure staff they are having to pay them more – concerns over higher salaries now impact more than half of hospitality businesses (55%), a significant increase from 45% six months ago.

Staff shortages have been a critical issue for many Australian employers over the past 18 months, with the hospitality industry among the hardest hit. It is therefore unsurprising that almost all hospitality businesses are planning to recruit staff in 2022 (92%), with no significant difference between small employers of five staff or less (91%) or larger businesses with six or more current employees (93%). This demonstrates just how

universal the drive for talent currently is.

The reopening of the international border should provide some relief to the ongoing skills shortage. In fact, almost nine in ten (85%) told us that they would support the introduction of specialist hospitality visas for overseas migrants to help bring their skills into the country.

The fourth Deliveroo HospoVitality Report revealed there is a hidden pandemic impacting restaurant owners; more than half of Australian hospitality business owners said that Covid-19 has impacted their personal mental health (51%), with rates even higher in both Victoria (53%) and NSW (54%).

Of the owners impacted, a primary concern was understandably the loss and reduction of income (71%) as many were literally forced to stop or severely limit trade.

Other considerations include the uncertainty surrounding government reopening roadmaps (63%) and public health regulations (59%), all of which hinders the sector’s ability to make concrete plans for the future and clearly damages personal wellbeing further.

As most states continue to lift remaining hospitality and venue capacity limits, and most domestic and international border restrictions progressively ease, just over half of restaurants (52%) say they feel positive about the future of

the hospitality sector in Australia, up from 46% in June 2021. A fifth of restaurants feel negative about the sector (20%), resulting in a fourth Deliveroo Vitality Confidence Score of +32, an improvement of 7 points.

Some of the worst impacted businesses are in our largest cities – many forced to shut down, some for good – as workers and patrons stayed at home and once vibrant Central Business Districts (CBDs) across the country became ghost towns. And while many of the effects of this have been very visible, some of the least obvious consequences may be the ongoing mental health impact on thousands of hospitality owners and workers across the country.

As we enter 2022, business confidence is mixed, with half (50%) of restaurant owners feeling positive about their prospects, up slightly from 46% in July 2021. More restaurant owners are neutral about their business prospects than previous reports (38% vs 34% in July 2021), suggesting they are waiting to see what 2022 has in store for their business activities.

The Deliveroo HospoVitality Index is produced biannually as a recurring benchmark for the hospitality sector. It will cover these issues and other emergent topics relevant to the industry to assist Deliveroo in tracking the evolving recovery of the hospitality sector throughout 2022.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Tennis the menace

We should have sympathy for poor Novak Djokovic. Actually, let me re-phrase that, obscenely and absurdly rich Novak Djokovic, and, well, maybe go easy on the sympathy too.

Poor bugger - sorry, did it again – he just wanted to come to Australia, whack a ball around for a week and depart ten million dollars richer with the world record for grand slam titles under his engorged money belt.

Sure the Australian government ticked his visa, and the Victorian government gave him the nod after the Tennis government contrived a clever scheme to avoid pesky little entry requirements that other people, like heads of state, Nobel laureates and human rights champions, have to satisfy.

But get with the program, guys, he’s super rich, super famous and and how good would that be for our covid-ravaged coffers, not to mention his?

And he nearly got away with it.

If some radio shock-jock hadn’t reminded everyone that Djokovic wasn’t vaccinated, indeed actively campaigned against vaccination, flouting not only all the world’s known medical advice, but our laws, his own country’s laws and oh, and half of Europe’s too, thus sending even the unvaccinated rednecks of Frankston, Rooty Hill and Coutts Crossing into a frenzy of covid-spit-filled bile about being somewhat entitled and one rule for the rich etc, he might have just taken his money and run.

Alas our beloved PM, Scotty from Rod Laver Arena was listening to Bob Hudson’s classic The Newcastle Song at that very moment, and thought… “Don’t you ever let a chance go by O Lord…”,

which in a disturbing co-incidence is what the Hillsong church were singing in the nearby Hunter Valley just this week until they were shut down for flouting covid laws, Djokovic style.

See how quickly bad behaviour catches on and influences our kiddies.

The PM couldn’t resist…

“Australia will decide who comes here and by which means, by which we mean whether their means are enough to flout our laws,” he said.

Naturally that ploy backfired because someone was clearly telling porkies. Turns out it was everyone, including our government and Djoko himself, who blamed human error, while Scotty from Rod Laver Arena couldn’t brush off the political incompetence, and everyone thought what a shame we can’t deport both to Serbia.

If only Djokovic had been an au pair, none of this would have happened. Novvie could have rung Gillon McLachlin who would have rung Peter Dutton who would have rung Alex Hawke and Bob would have been his uncle.

Nevertheless, all of this has been summertime gold, more engaging than tennis and cricket combined, so let’s celebrate another win for good governance.

Now what’s a wine that goes with porkies?

(From left): Bowen Estate Coonawarra Chardonnay 2020; Stockman’s Ridge Orange ‘Outlaw’ Pinot Noir 2016; Stockman’s Ridge Wines Orange ‘Primrosé’ 2021; Crittenden Mornington Peninsula Kangerong Rosé 2021; Crittenden Mornington Peninsula ‘Oggi’ Rosé, 2021; (below, right) Bowen Estate Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020.

Bowen Estate Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, $27.50.

This Coonawarra stalwart is like an old friend that you pull out of the cellar in times of need, just like friends of Peter Dutton do really. 9.4/10.

Bowen Estate Coonawarra Chardonnay 2020, $24.50.

2021 is very fresh for a chardonnay but this isn’t as bright as you would expect, bit like Novak, only much better value. Indeed it’s neither too sharp nor too soft, about right for afternoon tennis party.

9.2/10.

Stockman’s Ridge Orange ‘Outlaw’ Pinot Noir 2016, $40.

How apt for an evening in front of the telly following our modern-day Ned Kelly, Novak, the outlaw, and his legal slalom around rules and politicians. Solid stuff that would surely deflect a few bullets. 9.5/10.

Stockman’s Ridge Wines Orange ‘Primrosé’ 2021, $35.

Prim-row-zay, get it? Clever stuff with an unusual character, no doubt because it is shiraz, and an equally unusual and unexpected subtlety given that revelation. 9.3/10.

Crittenden Mornington Peninsula Kangerong Rosé 2021, $45.

There are as many styles of rosé as there are grapes, although it would be hard to make one from a white grape apart from pinot gris/grigio of course.

It’s lightish pinot, but let it warm a tad and the appeal rises rapidly. 9.4/10.

Excited for 2022, Rainbows Dragons have added a 6am Sunrise session in Ballina to their program.

Club member, Brooke Harris says “I love kicking my day off early.” The availability of a hot shower before getting on with her day is a bonus.

A year ago Brooke started dragon boating, after moving from Melbourne to Northern Rivers, so her wife could be closer to family.

“I’d heard of dragon boating and thought it sounded fun. I’d never paddled with such a big team. Being new to the area it was also about meeting people” said

Brooke.

The twist in Brooke’s story is, she believed she’d left her competitive days well and truly behind.

22 years ago, she quit a world class kayak and outrigger racing career. Brooke was with the Australian Institute of Sport; she placed 9th in both the K1 42km Marathon World Championships and K4 500m Sprint World Championships and, as an Outrigger Paddler, along with her teams, won the “Na Wahine O Ke Kai” Molokai to Oahu channel crossing in Hawaii, 3 times!

After quitting elite sport, Brooke led a sedentary life,

she acknowledges developing an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and is proud to say, she quit alcohol 3 years ago.

Continuing to switch old habits for new, she’s back on the water, loving gym, studying Fitness) and has nearly completed a L1 dragon boat coaching course.

Brooke’s Thursdays start with Rainbow’s Sunrise session in Ballina; then home to Lismore to study and back to Lennox Head to coach the afternoon session.

ROWERS TO RELIVE GLORY DAYS TIM HOWARD

But in between times the crews liked to keep

About 50 former Grafton rowers are planning a reunion on the banks of the Clarence River later this year.

Fifty-odd years ago reunion organiser Max Simmons, now living in was busy winning pennants and medallions rowing the heavy butcher boats that had been a feature of river life for almost a century.

Mr Simmons said the reunion, scheduled for March 18-20, would kick off with a dinner in the Crown Hotel above the scene of many contests and triumphs of the 1960s and 70s.

“We were all young blokes back then,” he said. “We rowed all over the place back then.”“ Mr Simmons said the rowing on the Clarence set him and a lot of

and test themselves in competitions against other crews.

Here and in other areas of Australia butcher boat racing became a big sport with plenty wagered on the outcome.

The competition continued well after powered boats made the butcher boat crews redundant.

Rowing in boats of all descriptions was a big thing on the Clarence in the early days of settlement and continued as a sport to this day.

others up for bigger competitions later in life.

“I went down to Sydney and rowed for Drummoyne,” he said. “A lot of us went on to win gold medals and big national and international competitions.

“But back in 1964-65 we were just kids having a lot of fun on the local river.”

Mr Simmons the reunion would also give them the opportunity to catch up with a lot former colleagues and competitors who had

stayed in the region.

“There would be a lot of people who rowed or followed the rowing back then,” he said.

Racing butcher boats was a big part of Clarence life through a lot of last century.

Like the surf boats,

which they resembled, the butcher boats originally started out as workhorses rather than racing thoroughbreds. would be rowed out from towns to supply provisions to farms cut off by the water.

Brigade, eventually merged with the Grafton Rowing Club around the turn of the century and the funds from the brigade purchased four new racing boats for the club.

No doubt this year’s reunion will bring back a lot of the memories created in those heady times.

He didn’t play in the game against Scotland, which the Australians won.

Beating Scotland has allowed the Australians to progress beyond the group stage where their opponent is likely to be

Tennis Terranora posted.

Even prouder is his Nana, Joan Bryant from Lismore, who warmly shared with The Northern Rivers Times that her grandson “picked up a racquet at 14 years of age and hasn’t put it down since!”

But for this former world number 419, who can name (arguably the greatest of all time) Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal as his former hitting partners, could a tilt at Wimbledon - the ultimate in grass court tennis - be back on the cards after taking out the Australian triple crown?

I wasn’t aware no one had done it before, so it was quite a good feeling,” Brendan Moore, tennis professional, told The Northern Rivers Times just days after returning home.

Brendan credits his old-school ‘Serve-Volley’ game with giving him the edge, and grass suiting his game.

rising-star, Tweed Heads’ Laquisa Khan, both victorious.

The squad also spent two days at the Australian Open and visited the Margaret Court Tennis Academy where founder and the great namesake’s nephew, Phil Shanahan, described Brendan Moore, as “An incredible player .. an incredible coach .. an
