Lismore flood survivors protest at Kirribilli House Lismore flood survivors protested at Kirribilli House in Sydney on Monday morning expressing their anger over the Prime Minister’s handling of the climatefuelled megafloods on the East Coast and his government’s failure to respond to the climate emergency.

The group planned to dump a tip truck of flood-destroyed possessions outside the Prime Minister’s official residence at Kirribilli House but were stopped Letters Travel Entertainment TV Guide Real Estate

by police.

Survivors then unloaded damaged possessions from the truck, placing them at the front gate.

Lismore resident Kate Stroud sheltered in her roof cavity for six hours before being rescued by a civilian on a jet ski, and lost everything she owned.

“We’ve interrupted our clean up and travelled more than 700 kilometres to the Prime Minister’s residence to hold him to account. When Morrison 12 29 30 31 36

came to Lismore, he was too cowardly to front the community outside his curated media stunt, because he knows that he’s again failed in a crisis and people are furious,” Ms Stroud said.

“This is our second major flooding event in five years. Myself and so many others in my community are traumatised by near-death experiences, the devastation of our town and the loss of all we own and the lives we have created. The 37 42 44 46 47

disaster response was fatefully ill-prepared, but the most terrifying thing about the Morrison government’s failure is his ongoing funding and support for the coal and gas projects that are fueling these climate disasters.

“We’re here to demand that the Morrison government stops funding fossil fuel projects and redirects this funding to support flood and fire survivors and to build climate resilience in our communities.”

Another Lismore resident, Kudra Ricketts, rescued neighbours from flood waters and also lost all her possessions.

“Climate disasters, like the recent megafloods and the megafires only two years ago, are only the start of the climate emergency. If we do not stop funding fossil fuels and urgently transition to renewable energy, climate disasters will intensify beyond our ability to cope,” Ms Ricketts said.

“It is our community 48 49 50 51 52

today, but tomorrow it will be another. None of us are safe from climate catastrophe, and that’s what we wanted to show the Prime Minister by bringing it to his doorstep. The Morrison government says they care about our trauma and loss, but keep boasting about funding oil and gas expansion, and have offered no credible plan to respond to this national crisis.”

Displaced livestock reunited Almost 2,000 cattle have been reunited with their owners by a stock team formed by the NSW Government to help North Coast communities recover from the flood disaster.

Acting Premier Paul Toole said the team, comprising of local stock and station agents, landholders, NSW Department of Primary Industries, Local Land Services and the NSW Police Rural Crime squad, has been crucial in the flood recovery effort across the region.

No payout despite having insurance SAMANTHA ELLEY The last 14 years have been a bumpy ride for Lismore business owners Stephen and Lynne Fernance and this latest flood has nearly taken them to the wall.

Owners of Autobarn Lismore, the Fernances employ 24 local staff, which in turn supports their families and community as well.

“I am an auto electrician by trade but wanted to get off the tools and after managing a service station, wanted my own business,” said Stephen.

“The Autobarn franchise was a perfect fit and we set up in Woodlark Street in 2008.

“From there we experienced the floods of 2008, 2009 and 2013, so we’ve been dealing with

floods from the get-go.”

The business moved to Brewster Street in 2014 where the store was built specifically to be out of flood.

“It was built as high as the 1954 flood,” said Stephen.

“The 2017 event caused a flood as nearly as big as 1974 and we lost everything downstairs at that time including the workshop, receivables, computer systems and stock that was put only half way up the stairs.”

They had to wear $350,000 in lost trade and wages.

With this history, Stephen found it impossible to obtain flood cover from any insurance company.

“Because of 2017, they wiped us from every flood insurance,” he said.

“We had to take out

the best storm insurance and only take it out on certain items.

“We had comprehensive on the forklift and possibly electronics and sign out the front.

“Two hundred millilitres is the depth they will pay on.”

Unfortunately for the Fernances, the 2022 flood did not stop at the 200ml mark and instead broke all records as it destroyed the entire shop upstairs.

“It was disastrous,” said Stephen.

“We have lost up to $2.5 million worth of stock, equipment, the workshop, computers, phone system, security system, both lifts (disabled and goods) and there is loss of trade and wages.

“Wesfarmers Insurance,

our insurance company, won’t pay on that.”

The Northern Rivers Times contacted Wesfarmers Insurance, but had not heard back by deadline.

The Fernances have been in touch with local federal MP Kevin Hogan to plead their case, believing it is unfair that despite paying for cover from the storm, they are still unable to get a payout.

Lynne said they need to keep the business is a priority.

“It weighs heavily on Stephen that he is supporting 24 staff and their families. So it’s hard to walk away,” she said.

Despite their own misfortunes, the Fernances have taken in three other families into their Evans Head home,

who have lost their own homes due to flooding.

One of their sons has started up a GoFundMe page as a last resort to help his parents get back on their feet. “…on the 28th February, 2022 history decides to outdo itself with floodwaters reaching new, eyewatering records, consuming the entire building, crushing the hearts of my family and devastating the 24 families that the business supports.”

He writes.

Never a team to give up, Autobarn Lismore will be running a pop up store this week selling flood-affected stock including oils, car care products and mechanical additives all fully sealed, at their Brewster Street address.

NEWS Lismore Floodplain Management Meeting

Brothers (from left) Cyril, Bob and Ken Clark at the Grafton Rowing Club reunion dinner at the Crown Hotel.

LARA LEAHY Lismore Council met last Thursday to extend the term of the current council members and discontinue the Floodplain Management community reference group.

It was decided that “the period of the Chairperson of the Committee and the other Lismore City Councillors be for the term of Council, with the remainder of the Committee members continuing for six months after the next general election of the Council.”

The reason for this was “the shortened term of the current Council and the level of knowledge of the current committee members.”

The agenda reports, “Members of the public will be welcomed at meetings of the Committee but shall not vote on matters before the Committee.” This encapsulates the extent of the role of the community reference group, who are encouraged to make comments via Council’s Your Say portal.”

The Mayor has nominated Cr Jensen as the Chairperson for the Floodplain Management Committee (FMC).

Rowing veterans not deterred by flood TIM HOWARD A brown, swollen Clarence River had nothing to deter a bunch of seasoned rowers who returned to Grafton to relive past glories at the weekend.

Nearly 50 awesome oarsmen who were at the helm of the formation of the Grafton Rowing Club returned to their old stamping ground for a weekend of tall tales and reminiscing.

Unfortunately a planned row on the river had to be abandoned due to the reluctance of the

modern day club to risk its boats in the turbulent river and some dangers associated in getting people into the boats.

But for 49 rowers and their partners who gathered at the Crown Hotel on Friday night to kick off the weekend, these setbacks were insignificant distractions.

Event organiser, South Grafton’s Les Windsor, said former members had come from Brisbane to the north and Sydney in the south for the reunion.

He said the organising group had decided to push on after the flood

regardless.

“We’d already had three goes at it,” he said.

“If we delayed it again, we might have run out of steam.”

He said all he old rowers who turned out this weekend would have been familiar with a flooded Clarence River.

“All these guys would have been in the Water Brigade and rowed in the flood boats that went around the region during floods,” Mr Windsor said.

“For Saturday competitions we had flood boat racing and

then we rowed in the fours.”

The modern rowing club maintains a strong link to the past, with current club captain Ken Maughan, a key competitor in the 1960s in the club’s champion fours teams.

The reunion also celebrated the administrative nous of its members in those formative years.

Club president from the 1960s George Cassimatis and his secretary Bob Clark were lauded for their efforts.

“If it hadn’t been for

George and Bob, I don’t think we would have a club,” said Bob’s brother Ken. The Clark brothers, Bob, Ken and Cyril, also enjoyed the chance to catch up with former club mates from their youth.

The reunion continued on Saturday with a recovery breakfast at Vines on Saturday and a walk along the boulevard and inspection of the boats, still out of the water due to flooding, in Memorial Park.

Living in their flood-damaged homes to recover SAMANTHA ELLEY The waters have receded and the houses are in a state of disrepair, with large mounds of debris decorating front lawns.

This is the common scene around the Northern Rivers.

Many people have emergency accommodation while they are working at being rehomed or fixing their houses. Some, however, have chosen to live on their flood-ravaged property.

Jamie and Lammie Forrest, along with their two little boys Neville, 5 and Derek, 3 are preparing to live in a tent on their property as they work on their house.

“The waters went halfway through the house and everything was damaged,” said Lammie.

“We went to the neighbours 2kms down the road to their twostorey house.

“Luckily our tractor was still going so we took the kids and three dogs through the water.”

The next day the rain had stopped so Lammie and Jamie left the kids with the neighbours and walked through waist deep water to see the damage to their home.

“We were able to get into the house and by the next day all the water was gone, so we brought the kids back and pulled everything out,” said Lammie.

“Our 5-year-old was so helpful as he sorted his toys to throw out and to keep.”

After three nights at the neighbours with no power or gas or clean water, they moved out.

“We ended up at a caravan park at Grafton for three nights just to get the kids out of the wet and mould,” Lammie said.

“We did a day trip to the house to see if we could restore power.

“We have tents and are gathering supplies to be self-sufficient.

“The insurance people are coming as the house was insured for flood.”

The Forrest family felt they had no choice but to stay on their property as they start the long task of cleaning up and repair.

“This was the only way we were able to get stuff done and salvage while we could,” said Lammie.

“The storm made the Whiporie end (of the road) inaccessible and accommodation for us in Grafton is over an hour away which is not doable with kids as our lives are in the Mid-Richmond.”

The children attend school and preschool in Woodburn, which has since been moved to the Evans Head K-12 premises and Lammie works for the Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre, also in Evans Head. *** Geoff and Betty

Archer have lived in their Fletcher Street, Broadwater home for 55 years and had never seen the water come through their property as it did at the end of last month.

“We received the usual evacuation notice, but the house was built in 1926 and no water had ever been in the house,” said Betty.

“We thought we were pretty cluey on river heights and were watching it from Saturday onwards and recording what was happening.”

What the 80+ year old couple didn’t realise is the water didn’t come from the river. “(The water) came from the highway,” said Betty.

“There was a pool of water backed up by the new motorway.

“By Tuesday morning at 2am we had nearly a metre of water in the backyard and by 5am it was up to our armpits in

the house.”

Betty said the force of water created a never ending stream of debris that ran through their property.

“The surge took our 1000 litre tank full of clean water and floated it out over trees and fences,” she said.

Despite the drama of watching their house fill with water, Betty and Geoff managed to stay dry in their tiny bedsit at the very top of their house and that is where they stayed rather than evacuating.

“We felt we could cope,” Betty said.

“We have a bed and a shower and a deck.

“It’s much better being on site as we’ve saved some things we’ve found in the mud.”

The octogenarians know not to take risks as they have been trained in the SES and are using the help of their daughter and many friends as they start on their road to

recovery.

“We have water, food, medication for Geoff and a couple of pairs of knickers in a bucket,” Betty laughed.

“The lovely part of it was a boat was at our deck at 6am the next morning. They had 20 litres of water and more food and wanted to know if we were ok.

“We were getting about three to four boats a day.”

Betty remembers the floods in the 1940s and the big one in 1954 when she was on the bread boat, throwing out loaves to people stranded on the higher parts of town.

“We are devastated to think we were so wrong (with this flood),” she said.

“In 1974 we have a mark on our joist under our house where it came.

“We expected to lose our washing machine, even putting it up a metre, but this flood took another metre.”

Noxious weed best left to rot Landowners worried about the masses of a declared weed left by receding flood waters should ensure they keep it well away from waterways.

Huge mats of water hyacinth have been deposited around the Clarence Valley by the floods, leading to fears it could infest even more waterways.

The NSW Department of Primary Industries listed flooding as one of the major ways the weed could spread into the

environment.

The South American native, bought to Australia in the 1890s as an ornamental plant, soon spread into coastal waterways and has been a problem in NSW from the Queensland border to the South Coast since the 1950s.

Infestations have been particularly severe in the Richmond and Macleay valleys and infestations have occurred in the Clarence as well.

Clarence Valley Council

said it has received inquiries being about disposal and management of water hyacinth since the flooding eased.

It has been deposited on the roads and private land, including fences, creating safety and environmental concerns.

The council urged landowners to leave it on the ground rather take it elsewhere for disposal.

There were risks it could damage pastures and crops when masses of the plant settle in a paddock after

floods and it also could destroy fences, roads, bridges and culverts when masses of the plant become mobile during floods.

It said natural decomposition, away from waterbodies is considered the best, most efficient, and sustainable management method at this time.

Slashing or mulching the hyacinth would also increase the rates of decomposition.

The council said its workers would remove water hyacinth from roads

and roadside drainage swales to ensure the road network is accessible, functional and safe.

DPI studies show water hyacinth can spread from seeds released from an underwater capsule on the plant, but the most rapid spread comes from plant parts spread by natural or human activities.

Seeds in mud or soil can remain viable for up to 20 years.

Kyogle Council’s mayor debate continues LARA LEAHY The biggest issue up for debate last week was Cr Janet Wilsons motion about reaching out to the people to discuss the transition to a popularly elected mayor.

After over an hour, 6 of the 8 councillors present essentially agreed to put the following items

forward to the people: • Whether the constituents would like a popularly elected mayor • Whether or not to reduce the number of councillors from nine to seven - 2 per ward (plus a mayor) These two points will very probably be put together and it will be a yes or no option - you

!"#$%&" '()*#+, -*(./"$0 120%--"%*3 !"#$%&%'(!)(('$%&%*+,)%!*)'!-)

get both or none. The wording of a potential referendum will be decided.

The final division in the room surrounded the issues of when this should occur. The timing of a referendum reflects when the people are able vote for their mayor.

A local election is planned for September

2024.

If a referendum takes place before this election, the vote for a Mayor will occur at that election.

If the referendum occurs at that election, the vote for a Mayor will take place in 2028.

There is financial concern surrounding this - a stand alone election

is more expensive, however the reduction of two councillors will offset this cost quickly.

Mayor Kylie Thomas said, “It was a very thorough debate on all the options available to us at this present time, The Crs were all trying to adhere to the information that had been given to them by

the constituents they had spoken to in the electorate.

“The issue is not dead.

We need to explore the options and put something clear to the people. We need to do more research on how the councillors and the people feel about the points being brought up in this motion.”

Governments prove to be slow learners COMMENT TIM HOWARD Revelations from former emergency services leaders that governments are failing to learn lessons from previous disasters is playing out before our eyes.

As he did with the bushfires just two years ago former fire chief Greg Mullins has identified a similar tendency among our leaders to ignore expert evidence until an emergency hits, then react too slowly.

The result is bizarre events like Primer Minister Scott Morrison’s secretive visit to the region last week, where he was reluctant to speak in public and his only meetings were carefully staged managed with his personal photographer in attendance.

The PM’s prime concern wasn’t rallying the people of the North Coast and praising the emergency services personnel for their work, or as he claimed “ensure people’s privacy”.

It was to avoid another “Cobargo handshake” – the political equivalent of the street fighter’s knock out strike, the Liverpool kiss.

Ostensibly the visit also allowed Mr Morrison to call a national emergency for the NSW floods.

We know Mr Morrison had been recovering from a bout of Covid-19, but did people battling through the worst floods in Lismore’s history need to wait until the

PM recovered to get the benefits that flow from such a declaration?

It was obvious the emergency began at least a week earlier and the time was ripe to implement the regulations put in place in response to the 201920 fires.

The laws, which allow the Federal Government to bypass state governments to deliver services directly to affected regions, were supposed to cut through red tape.

For those mourning the flood victims or who sat for days on the roof of their house waiting for rescue, those words must be galling.

Instead of cutting red tape the bureaucrats rolled it out. Stories have emerged the SES refused defence force help offers three times, helicopters made available for Lismore were sent to Cooma instead and finally it seems they needed the PM to be well enough to announce them before they could be implemented.

Bizarrely Mr Morrison and others in the government say the ADF is not there on tap to respond to emergencies.

I’m old enough to remember Cyclone Tracy in 1974 when all three arms of the defence force were employed to help evacuate Darwin within a week of the cyclone hitting.

Then PM Gough Whitlam returned from an overseas holiday to go to Darwin. That was 47 years ago. Have we

A team from Clarence Valley Flood Help get to work helping gut a flood-damaged house at Cowper during the group’s Super Saturday clean-up. learned nothing since then?

While it seems all we can rely on from government is bureaucracy and bungling at a local level the response to the flooding has been outstanding.

People, often with little or no experience in handling emergencies, have flocked to the cause and even found some strategies governments might like to copy so it

can get help to people in a more timely fashion.

Today’s edition includes a story about a group of Clarence residents, Craig Howe, Steph Gibbins and Angela Lagos-Jay who have set up a Facebook page, Clarence Valley Flood Help, which enables them to coordinate people needing help with those offering it.

It’s a strikingly simple premise, which has

grown exponentially in the past two weeks from a group of 40 volunteers to an online army of nearly 3000, all looking to help the best they can.

As with all great ideas, it’s use continues to grow. In addition to sending help, the page has resources like the location of disaster centre, emergency hotlines, what sorts of donations are most needed and also to simply communicate

with each other.

It’s a striking feature of posts on the page. So many people are grateful for the help and want to express that gratitude.

If our leaders want to tap into these positive feelings they need to take a leaf from Craig, Ash, Angela and the close to 3000 people around the Valley.

The lesson is an old one, but revealing: actions speak louder than words.

CHAMELEON ALBO I wonder whom each way Albo will pretend to be this week. Last week it was a little of Bob Hawke, a little of Paul Keating and John Howard. Albo aspires to emulate past political standouts as he is confused about his own identity, he doesn’t really know who he is, he lacks and fortitude.

He is an accomplished chameleon; he has managed to successfully change his colour to adapt to every opportune moment while hiding his real colours. Albo has successfully hidden the fact he is of the far left of the Labor party, has voted for every silly unsuccessful piece of legislation in parliament, has never presented a budget.

He has never owned or managed a small or large business, he has however supported the unions, Labor’s main bountiful money source. The Labor party describes itself as a major centreleft political party if Albo is elected prime minister the scales will very quickly tilt much further to the left.

Leads me to think if this was domestic cats and dogs being killed by the millions there be outrage but nothing really, we continue to allow feral cats and dogs and foxes to predate on native animals and do jack all to stop it.

One way which would help would put a bounty on all feral animals

This is a plea to any owners out there to consider renting out their properties to those in the community who desperately need somewhere to live for a period of say 3 – 6 months, which will give them time to get their houses cleared and cleaned and while they await building inspections.

If you are not in a position to do so, please make a donation to local community organisations. Our generosity at this time is vital.

Please remember a vote for Labor is a vote for the greens, Labor will never win an election without green preferences, the greens will demand payback if Labor is elected, like carbon taxes, destruction of coal and gas industry, and many other economies destroying socialist ideals.

G. MacDonald Pimlico ABC IS NOT BIASED In answer to MacDonalds letter (10/3/2022), the A.B.C. is not biased. Over the years both Labor and Liberal Governments have accused the A.B.C.

of being biased. Hard to be biased against both wouldn’t you say.

The A.B.C. does not make the news, it reports it. If politicians are caught doing something illegal, unethical or just plain stupid you can’t accuse the A.B.C. of bias.

As for the promised funding for the A.B.C., this is only restoring the cuts made by the Abbott Government. The Prime Minister is only promising this funding as there is an election coming up, he knows that there are a lot of voters who support the A.B.C. Holmes-a-Court has strict requirements before he will fund an independent. We won’t independent until they declare their funding.

The independents are targeting Coalition seats because they are government. Note that they are all women and at least two of them are from Liberal backgrounds. To obtain

It’s instructive to use this logic when comparing Australia’s contribution to climate change with the contribution Australian service personnel made to the Allied forces in the Second World War. 59.5 million British Commonwealth, American and Russian personnel, including 730,000 Australians, fought against Hitler and the Axis powers in WWll. The Australian force amounted to only 1.2% of the total Allied numbers.

Using their own logic would any member of Morrison’s government be prepared to stand up in an RSL and explain to the servicemen that, due to the relatively small size of the Australian army, their efforts in

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE DRIVES A TINNY Our Prime Minister may not hold a hose, but Independent candidate for Page, Hanabeth Luke didn’t bat an eye at driving in a tinny to rescue people and deliver desperately needed supplies, during the recent unprecedented Recognised for her bravery during the Bali bombing, Hanabeth’s tireless efforts this time were focused on her home ground of Evans Head and Woodburn.

Being a capable, multitalented woman, she was

involved with others in setting up systems for meeting the needs of evacuated people, in the absence of essential services. These included a food distribution plan for the three evacuation centres in the area.

Not afraid of getting mud on her hands, she joined the “mud army” in the clean-up, noting how amazingly well the community responded to the challenges.

Hanabeth was then called on to represent the crisis response to the in Lismore. She says her role there was: “…recognition of the importance of the community effort and improved collaboration between formal agencies and spontaneous community operations”.

A Senior Lecturer in the Science and Engineering facility at Southern Cross University, Hanabeth is founding Coordinator of the innovative courses in Regenerative Agriculture. She is skilled in conducting research, interpreting and translating this understanding for the community. She is clear that we urgently need to address climate change, which is a driver of the unprecedented natural disasters we are now increasingly confronted with.

I am convinced that Hanabeth Luke is the ideal candidate for the Page electorate.

Intelligent, practical, cooperative, ethical.

Hanabeth is at the forefront of action when crises arise, has the

experience working with affected communities to develop effective solutions and knows how and who to network with to successfully implement them. What more can one ask of a representative?

The Authorities need to have a United front with Residents and come up with a plan that suits everyone hit by the free area and let the old Lismore go under.

Sue Le Cornu ILUKA WOMEN’S POLITICAL PARTY Just a thought be why don’t women start their own political party they’re always saying there’s not enough women in parliament so if they had their own party, they would have plenty. Furthermore, they would garner nearly 100 percent of the vote from women across the country. And be a force against the liberal labour and green domination of politics basically replacing the democrats.

n life, over the long haul, you see many different things undertaken for many different reasons - but it’s the actions prompted by consideration, that rise to the top in terms of things you’ll ever see.

Relatedly, the word ‘consideration’ stems from an old Latin term that broadly meant ‘to observe and contemplate’; mysteriously hidden within this concept’s explanation linage is also the ancient root term for ‘star’, denoting the act of staring up at the night sky in awe.

Little wonder, the headstone of one of the thinkers, Immanuel Kant reads: “Two ever new and increasing admiration and awe… the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.”

English is a funny language, or perhaps I’m just a funny user of the world’s most broadly applied means to make ourselves known. As such, I remember thinking as a child how strange adding one simple ‘in’ to the front of a word turns that word into its opposite, i.e. ‘inconsiderate’, ‘inability’, ‘insensitive’; a shame when we say: “I am in debt”, that the same rule doesn’t apply!

The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato, once noted: “The love of learning is more than just a mere pretence”, in a similar vein: a deep regard for consideration, and incorporating this quality into your behavioural repertoire, is more than just a mere The American civil rights activist, Marian Wright Edelman once reinforced: “Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any

college degree.”

Consideration is one thing, but being considerate at the right time, perhaps when the odds are stacked – is quite another. I remember reading Oscar Wilde’s ‘De Profundis’ and he explained whilst being led amidst jeers from the courtroom (that condemned him to twoyears hard labour), one of his friends doffed his hat in respect to him as he walked past, and how it was the most touching gesture he’d ever received.

On any given day, you so often see the ‘cheap shot’ unleashed between people, which is just the feeble-rant offshoot of consideration. They are observations made and then expressed that have an abject lack of decency and social grace, and scream inadequacy or threat of some kind in the mind of the person who makes these ‘worthless’ comments that simply aim to demean or offend.

The considerate person makes their way through the world like a gentle interactional of decency and regard, thoughtful harbingers that help to raise life to a level of being supremely worthwhile.

There is a natural air or default certainty to consideration that can’t be feigned, as Robert Brault once suggested: “Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.”

Relatedly, as if he were re-drafting the 10 commandments in a modern guise, Earl Nightingale once formulated the notion: “Our rewards in life will always be in exact proportion to the amount of consideration we show toward others.”

Coraki’s own rock and roll SAMANTHA ELLEY He has been sweated on

by Janis Joplin, rubbed shoulders with Mick Jagger and been up close with Jimmi Hendrix, Cat Stevens and The Monkees.

Not bad for a structural engineer turned photographer with no formal qualifications, but that is where Colin Beard found himself in the 1960s, working for the first rock and roll magazine in Australia called Go-Set. The Coraki resident, originally from England, lives in his small unit brimming with memorabilia of a time that was ground-breaking on the music scene worldwide.

“We just moved into a house together and none of us were paid a salary but the magazine kept us going,” Colin says of the team of Go-Set, which consisted of the editor, designer and himself as photographer and picture editor.

“One of the first things I did was the Rolling Stones when they were in Sydney.

“The problem was, noone knew who Go-Set was so every time I tried to get into the stadium I got thrown out by the scruff of my neck.”

Colin recounts how through sheer tenacity he managed to get the photos he needed for the magazine.

Despite the security guards constantly throwing him out, he managed to make it onto the floor where the band were staying.

“I went up and the moment I stepped out of the lift, the security guards were about to throw me back in and Mick Jagger put his head out and said ‘He’s with me’,” Colin laughs.

“He was fantastic and he said ‘Look I’ve only got a couple of minutes mate, so go for it’.”

After taking a number of photos, using the lighting available to him Colin managed to capture some very candid moments of the Rolling Stones.

When the band members saw the photos they were so impressed, Mick Jagger came up to Colin at the next press

conference and said they were the best photos ever taken, up to that time.

“He said ‘Anything you want, you tell us what you want to do’,” Colin says.

“And I thought, ‘I was a beginner. What do I do?’”

Colin then got a group shot of the Rolling Stones.

From there on Colin’s reputation as a rock and roll photographer started to grow.

Australian artists such as Johnny O’Keefe at his last concert, the Master’s Apprentices, Bon Scott before he was AC/DC’s Bon Scott, Glenn Shorrock, Olivia Newton-John and a young Johnny Farnham were all captured through Colin’s lens.

He didn’t just take photos of the artists but also captured the atmosphere of the local dance halls and the crowds that would follow their favourite bands on a Saturday night.

Colin says his ideas for photos came from studying people.

“I was watching the

way people interact, the body language, their expressions,” he recounts.

“When I got the camera I could capture that.

“I would take (photo subjects) in the back lanes, church yards and grave yards.”

A sponsored opportunity took Colin and Lily Brett, the writer of Go-Set around the world for seven months.

“We went to London and stayed with Normie Rowe,” says Colin.

“We had no money and were constantly waiting for money to come through.”

From London they headed to New York where Colin was set up on a blind date with another rock and roll photographer called Linda Eastman.

“We were meeting at The Scene Disco, a very fashionable disco in New York,” he says.

“Go-Set organised me to have a suit made, a real trendy thing.

“I went there and there was nothing there (with Linda). She had the hots for (the lead singer of the band playing that

night).”

Colin took one photo of that lead singer that night, who turned out to be Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors.

Linda Eastman would go on with her rock and roll photography career, meeting up with The Beatles and eventually marrying Paul McCartney.

Colin also photographed the Monterey International Pop Festival, held in California over three days in June, 1967.

“That was an amazing event,” says Colin. “(People) go on about Woodstock…but it was the end of something, Monterey was the event that signalled the whole west coast movement.

“They expected about 5,0006,000 people from San Francisco and Los Angeles.

“There was a revolution happening as 100,000 people turned up.

It was

chaotic.”

One of the acts, Janis Joplin was experiencing her first large-scale public performance.

Colin describes the event and his proximity to the legendary singer in his latest anthology of his photography life, The Go-Set Years 1966 to 1968.

“With every note, with every syllable that she sang she stamped her foot angrily like a trapped mustang onto the wooden stage,” he wrote.

“Each deafening crash of her chunky white shoe on the

photographer hollow timber structure felt like a lightning bolt striking me – I was only an arms-length away from her, trapped within a melee of photographers.”

Another night in Los Angeles, Colin and Lily found themselves at the Whisky A Go Go bar on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles with only $10 in their pocket.

“Tickets were $4 each, so we thought we’d go,” says Colin. “(Go-Set) wanted to do a colour spread, so I went to the chemist to get the film.

“Then Jimi Hendrix came on. He sang a couple of songs.

“Nothing was happening then suddenly he started ‘Wild thing…I think I love you’.

“By the end of it he had that whole place in orgasmic fits.

“He completely transformed that whole place, one of the most amazing live performances I’ve ever seen, the way he just grabbed that audience.”

The colour photos feature

in Colin’s anthology, showing all the rock and roll angst Hendrix was well known for.

After two years of rock and roll photography Colin moved on to the fashion industry and through the 70s became one of the most prominent fashion and advertising photographers, working for Vogue, Dolly, Cleo and Pol. “The last shot I did I was working with three models to specify a message I didn’t believe in,” says Colin explaining why his fashion photography came to an end.

“And that’s one of the reasons why I gave up and went to teach.”

Colin was head-hunted as a founding member of the staff of The Sydney College of the Arts and then onto the design faculty of The University of Technology.

He worked extensively as a photojournalist for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Bulletin magazines and in 1986 was the first feature photographer to be commissioned for

Australian Geographic magazine.

A pile of large picture format books Colin has produced, sit on his dining table and include titles such as The Mountain Men, The River People, Starlight’s Trail and Australia the Beautiful and Australia The Beautiful Cookbook.

Amongst his memorabilia are the works of his students who credit him with honing their abilities to produce their amazing photographic work.

“I was just looking at some of the books from my students and they’ve put on the front ‘You taught us stuff that books could never teach us’,” he says.

In summing up his ability to capture so many icons in the music industry and the atmosphere that surrounded them, Colin said it is more than just simply taking a photo.

“You are pushing all this energy into the camera, into an image and then the image is coming out and expresses far more than the event.”

Flood Appeal to support community Tweed Shire Council is today launching its Mayoral Flood Appeal following a unanimous vote at last week’s Council meeting.

The Together Tweed Mayoral Flood Appeal 2022 seeks to raise much-needed funds to offer affected Tweed communities immediate help, support recovery efforts and resilience to future flood events and contribute to addressing significant long-term issues such as housing.

The February 2022 flood was the biggest in the Tweed’s recorded history. Many areas experienced unprecedented river levels and the damage bill is likely to double that of the devastating 2017 flood event.

While local residents and businesses may be eligible for assistance from the Federal and NSW Governments’ Natural Disaster Declarations, many people in the Tweed have been significantly affected by this flood event and will require extensive support to get back on their feet.

Consistent with the Council resolution, the Mayoral Appeal will support: • Murwillumbah Community Centre – contribute towards the purchase

of a replacement community bus.

• Communication solutions for isolated communities purchase of improved communications equipment to help isolated communities stay connected in times of crisis.

Once these needs are met, the balance of the funds collected through the Mayoral Flood Appeal will be disbursed equally among the following organisations: • The Family Centre – Locals Helping Locals Flood Appeal The Locals Helping Locals Flood Appeal will distribute funds raised directly to children, families and young people impacted by the floods in the Tweed Shire.

• Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) – Resilience and Regeneration FundThe Resilience and Regeneration Fund will award grants to help community organisations work in the early, medium and long-term recovery phases in affected communities in the Tweed Shire, following the emergency relief effort.

• NSW State Emergency Service (SES) - Local units in the Tweed Shire

Support for local units to recruit, train and develop volunteers to effectively act and respond to protect people in the Tweed from dangers to their safety and their health and property from destruction or damage in future emergencies.

To help our floodaffected community, please donate to the Together Tweed Mayoral Flood Appeal 2022 by direct bank transfer.

The bank details are: Name: TSC Mayors Appeal Fund BSB: 062-580 Account: 10370281 Recipient organisations will be periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to reflect the needs of affected communities and additional recipients meeting the appeal’s objectives may be added at a later date.

In making a donation, you acknowledge that Council retains full discretion as to how any and all donated funds are used, which may include distributing funds to other organisations or persons for those organisations to use and distribute as they determine.

Heartbreak Hotel

Last minute twist delivers surprise pub owner GARY NICHOLS AND TIM HOWARD A last-minute twist in the tale has revealed a surprise new owner of Grafton’s iconic Roches Family Hotel.

Woolgoolga-based businessman Harj Dosanjh swooped to secure the pub, for an undisclosed sum, just as another Grafton businessman was measuring the curtains.

The surprise turn of events won’t fill the regulars with much joy.

In recent years Mr Dosanjh, who has strong links to the local blueberry industry, has snapped up two other local Grafton hotels, and

one has ceased to trade.

The seemingly endless saga about who might secure a landmark of the Grafton pub scene set tongues wagging in the community.

The future of the hotel has been a drawn-out soap opera after the hotel was sold to hotelier and pub baron Jim Knox last year.

Knox, who had been building his hotel empire for the past two-years, has a track record of purchasing country pubs, stripping them of their gaming machines and reselling them at fire-sale prices.

It was a pattern Knox repeated with Roches, rated one of Grafton’s

favourite watering-holes.

Roches Hotel’s five poker machines were moved to the Grafton Hotel, which is now ranked number-one in Grafton for gaming.

It is understood the sale of Roches attracted several potential buyers with rumours quickly circulating around town that a prominent Grafton businessman was in the box-seat to acquire the historic Hotel, which dates back to 1869.

When contacted, Dosanjh confirmed he was the new owner of Roches but declined to comment any further as the contract had not been finalised.

around fast in Grafton,” Mr Dosanjh said.

“Yes, I have purchased Roches, but everything needs to be finalised which could take up to a month.

“Unfortunately, I cannot comment any further as part of the contract was not to speak to any media.”

Mr Dosanjh also owns two hotels in South Grafton, the Royal Hotel and Walkers Marina. The latter has been closed for

several months.

The upstairs rooms upstairs have been used to accommodate blueberry pickers.

Patrons of Roches are concerned – including 30-year regulars – about the long-term survival of their pub.

“The hotel closes every Sunday and Monday, the restaurant has been closed for several months and there is no revenue from the poker machines,” a pub regular

said when asked about the future of the hotel.

“The hotel opening hours have been drastically reduced so some patrons are heading to other venues for a beer and a meal.

“I’ve heard rumours that the pub may close and upstairs accommodation for fruit pickers will be all that is left, or maybe the new owner might lease out the hotel for someone else to run the business.

Nobody knows what the future holds.”

The hotel scene in Grafton has been a major talking point in the town.

Owners will tell you having gaming machines are a necessary evil in some corners of the industry.

But for the the punters it’s the social scene the pub creates that has the most value. Fishing, darts, golfing and other sporting club form around the bar. Tales,

tall and true, are told and friendships formed.

Pubs are also big sponsors of local sporting teams. All the football codes, hockey and netball would all have teams sponsored by local pubs.

Hotels floating on the river of gold from poker machines often don’t see the need to provide such functions.

The Grafton Hotel has shut down its social clubs, perhaps seeing

these services as an unnecessary distraction from the primary goal of sitting patrons in front of the gaming machines.

Without pokies, pubs must invest in accommodation, live music, craft beer and event spaces to remain viable.

But the bottom line is, you need to attract patrons through the doors, and in today’s climate, that in itself is a hard sell.

he Community Visitors Scheme is celebrating 30 years of service to the Clarence Valley this year and has been instrumental in the introduction of several thousand friendships during this time. Over the years, the Scheme has evolved to respond to legislative changes, though its goal remains the same.... to reduce social isolation and loneliness felt by many of our older residents.

Friendships are essential for our health and wellbeing and this is particularly true for older people, though it is often difficult, as we age, to meet new people and make new friends. The Community Visitors Scheme introduces people based on their interests and backgrounds for the basis of a lasting friendship. Community Visitors are just like you. They are local people who are close to you in age and share your interests and/or cultural background. What’s more, they are double or triple vaccinated, and police checked and orientated, for your peace of mind. We have introduced Valley residents who now enjoy playing cards and board games, going out for coffees and lunches, sharing a movie, singing with a choir, crafting and painting together, fishing, and enjoying a beer with mates at a local watering hole... to name but a few.

Community Visitors Scheme is an initiative of the Department of Health and is free to anyone either living in their own homes with support of a Home Care Package (HCP) or living in a residential aged care facility, and who would benefit from a regular visit from a friend. To find out more, please call Lainie Edwards at the New School of Arts Neighbourhood House on 6640 3812.

The Seniors United Party of Australia (SUPA) was established in 2015 for the purpose of ensuring a better and fairer deal for all seniors, particularly self-funded retirees, superannuates and pensioners through parliamentary representation promoting and safeguarding the economic, social, political and fundamental rights of all Australian Senior Citizens.

SUPA now needs more members to join our Party to make sure we can be eligible for registration as a political party under the oppressive new rules passed in Federal parliament in 2021 by both major parties.

The Party is run by a committee whose members presently come from New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.

There are currently no paid employees of SUPA, so all the committee and administration work is undertaken by this small committed committee of volunteers.

The core policy objectives of SUPA concentrate on aged and senior’s issues such as care for seniors and the elderly, residential and home based aged care, ensuring adequate income for self-funded retirees and pensioners that excludes the residential primary residence from any assets test for pension eligibility, Medicare and dental services for seniors that includes no co-payment for pathology services, affordable private health insurance for seniors and an increase to mental health services.

We invite you to join us and become a member of SUPA today. All our details can be found on our website – www.seniorsunitedparty.com.au We can be contacted by email to supa.australia@gmail.com or by phone on 0458 686 884 if you want to talk to a SUPA committee member.

Council acts to address housing crisis permitted landholders to live in temporary accommodation – sheds, caravans, relocatable homes, tiny homes – on their properties for just 12 months and only while a permanent dwelling was under construction.

Council unanimously resolved at its 14 March Ordinary Meeting to revoke the policy in response to the ongoing housing affordability crisis and the unprecedented February

floods which have left up to 6,000 homes across the Northern Rivers uninhabitable.

Council’s Acting Director Planning and Environmental Services Amanda Clark said the Temporary Accommodation Policy was introduced before the housing crisis and did not take into account the wide range of living arrangements land owners had pursued since then.

Ms Clark said

the policy had also effectively stopped Council from helping people, who were living in temporary dwellings on their property without approval, address health, safety and environmental risks, particularly in regard to water supply and waste disposal.

With the cancellation of the policy, Council will fall back on the Local Government Act 1993 and associated regulations which allow people to

live in temporary accommodation on their property as long as they have Council approval and it meets set standards designed to manage health and safety risks.

The legislation does not limit the location of the temporary accommodation or the length of time people can live in it.

Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Kylie Thomas said Council was taking decisive action to help people in housing crisis

WH E

In a move designed to provide people with a wider range of safe housing options, Kyogle Council has revoked its temporary accommodation policy.

The removal of the policy will also give people displaced by natural disasters and who require temporary accommodation more options while they await more permanent housing.

Introduced in 2013, the temporary accommodation policy

“This is immediate action from Councillors in response to the current housing issues,” Cr Thomas said.

“It provides a pathway for staff to work with residents to help them find a way out of the housing crisis and achieve safe, and healthy living arrangements.”

Medical clinic set to reopen after devastating flood A Lismore medical clinic that was destroyed in the flood will soon reopen in a new location, thanks to support from St Vincent’s Private Hospital.

Keen Street Clinic has served the local community for almost 70 years, surviving through many other floods and challenges. Nothing had prepared them for the scale of this natural disaster.

Doctors, staff, friends, family members and strangers have been scooping out mud, ripping out carpet and

lifting heavy furniture.

But practice manager Debbie Elliott, pictured, said they had only been able to save “bits and pieces” and getting the clinic back in order could take many months at huge expense.

“We will have to look at the options for our future; we haven’t made a decision yet,” she said.

“Thankfully, St Vincent’s offered us rooms and equipment at the hospital, which means our team can work in the one place and we can fulfill our main priority – to see our

WaterNSW and Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) WaterNSW and the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) wish to advise customers and the

patients.

“It’s amazing. Our patients will be able to come along and see familiar receptionists and familiar doctors. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of St Vincent’s.

“We believe it’s so important for our patients to know that we’re getting back on our feet and that we’re here for them. They will have lost property or their homes, everyone’s mental health is suffering, and this is one thing we will be able to offer.”

St Vincent’s chief

executive officer, Steve Brierley, said the hospital was proud to support such a vital service during a time of crisis.

“It’s important that we all work together to support our community as we recover from the flood, and we were only too happy to be able to offer space to the highly professional team from Keen Street Clinic,” he said.

Another positive for the team was the news that their servers – and the medical records of thousands of patients – had been recovered by

their IT experts.

“This had been our biggest concern, so this is a huge relief,” Debbie said.

Keen Street Clinic plans to open its rooms at St Vincent’s the week beginning March 21.

The phone number will remain the same: 6621 2371.

“Leemo’s View” “CRIKEY…I do love ‘Mum Jane”

‘Leemo Cat’ writing once more. ‘Mum Jane’ has expressed her concerns about how much I have been sleeping & ‘resting’ lately. She reckons it is quite excessive and that I am turning into a Sloth. I politely informed her that I do not sleep or rest all the time. I make my way to my food bowls at LEAST 7 times a day… just to check them mind you!! This involves waking, stretching, jumping from my place of rest, and ‘walking’.

Then, having to repeat the exercise to get back to my chosen place of rest. HOWEVER Mum, during the night I prowl and stalk ever alert and ready for intruders be they moth or mousie. Well, that got an eyebrow lift didn’t it? She told me she may get a wee camera thingie and attach it to my collar.

This contraption will record EVERY move I make during the night for Mum to view.

Hmmm. Serious ponder here!?. I reckon this invasion of my privacy by an ‘INTRUDER’ (in this instance, ‘Snoopette’Mum Jane). If she goes ahead via the planting of a camera on my collar or peeping at me in my own house, Invasion of Privacy misdemeanour granting

me the right to sue Mum. AND, what she doesn’t know is that I have read up on such nefarious situations.

Ooooh….I engvisage the HEADLINES!!

‘LEEMO CAT SCORES HISTORIC LEGAL VICTORY’ when the 12 Cat Jury determined he had suffered from what constituted Cruel & Unusual behaviour from ‘Mum Jane’, his owner. On imparting all this to Mum (at the same time dreaming of being famous) she was NOT impressed and told me to desist from being so and downright crazy.

Well, I responded and told her to shush!

‘Mum, are you aware that there has been a lot of news lately about “Animal Standing.” In Oregon, a horse sued its owner for damages for pain and suffering and sought $10,000 for veterinary care. It doesn’t truly matter that the horse was oblivious to the fact that it was the litigant in the case. And don’t we all remember the monkey who asserted with the help of PETA? We will see more animal rights lawyers trying to sue on behalf of animal plaintiffs to enforce Animal Rights Laws. And there have even been rumours of the possibility of owners also being sued for deciding “NOT” to get out of bed at 3am because their puppy or kitten wanted a snack…in other words Mum, this constitutes “NEGLECT”. So there. Suck it up, and think about my wisdom. Feeling pleased with myself and purring, I was suddenly scooped up snuggled in the biggest hug Mum has ever given me. She said “Leemo..you are truly an AMAZING (if not downright crazy) Cat”.

Well, purr purr purr.

Nite, Leemo

Marty and his mum Denise going through the list and, some of the goods Marty has had donated.

Donations brought in from Brisbane

Once upon a time, a young man called Marty grew up in Lismore.

He moved when he was older, and now lives in Brisbane.

and when the roads opened, he came home to visit his parents.

As he said during his visit, “Until you truly see the devastation instead of from a ‘somewhere else’ perspective, you really don’t understand it”.

Marty did understand.

He went back to Brisbane and organised a help page via his mates.

Marty rounded up an amazing amount of support and donations.

He himself rented a

big ‘cage’ trailer and delivered much-needed items… for example, Ballina: three fridges; Lismore: one television, six microwaves, two washing machines, kids

toys, toaster and dry towels, clothes dryer; Woodburn: washing machine and microwave; and, he has more to deliver.

Considering Marty

works himself, his consideration and care for the plight of people in his hometown has been admirable. Thanks Marty!!

“Real. Insidious.

You don’t see it coming.”

LARA LEAHY This is one woman’s story in the Northern Rivers region. In telling her experience with Narcissistic Personality Disorder on the heels of the ABC special last Monday, she hopes to reinforce that this can happen to anyone, anywhere - men and women.

With decades of experience in a legal background where she has seen the effects of violence and physical abuse, the effects of prolonged emotional,

her fragile, stunned and overwhelmed stating, “I never thought people could be so cruel and demonic.”

Narcissism in this extreme form, engenders a person with a feeling of superiority. An arrogant preoccupation with satisfying their ego. They need constant admiration and have a lack of empathy, guilt or remorse for negative or abusive actions against others.

In relationships, a fantasy scenario of their ideal existence is pursued. There is a series of stages and power plays that are synonymous with these situations.

From the inside of a relationship, they can be hard to see, so speaking to people you know can be vital in diagnosing a situation, especially if a person is experiencing isolation due to a partner’s actions.

Love Bombing is the term coined when someone with NPD sets their sight on a desired partner. At the beginning of a relationship, this is characterised by being swept off your feet by someone very quickly, with exaggerated intense display of feelings. For Cathy, this lasted months at “He was charismatic, successful and adored me.

In the early stages we met, he wanted to move in together and also buy a property together. The Love Bombing would take place at different times throughout the relationship, usually to placate a situation. It could last a month or six months depending on what suited him.”

Usually this overt display is a distraction from what might really be going on.

“He told me he had an ex wife,” or so Cathy thought but it “was only later that I found out that he spent about half his time at the business and house he

still owned with his “ex” defacto, claiming he had work to do.

“He told me about multiple investments - his property, business and investment properties. But it turns out they were all shared with his other “defacto’ partner”.

Cathy initially enjoyed her time at his property doing farm duties. They included preparing products sold in his and his defacto’s local business. Cathy was told that this was temporary and was going towards their future. Cathy became free labour, working countless hours from morning until late night.

This is when his moods began to vary and Cathy received criticism that her efforts were not good enough. Fear set in as the criticism and mood swings became more of a constant feature.

Love Bombing is followed by a stage called Devaluation. In an effort to control the fantasy, tactics are used to keep the scenario intact, often at the expense of their partner.

• Projection - blame for things that they perpetrate. “I was not allowed to have any male friends and was accused of having affairs. One man he accused me of having an affair with, was incarcerated and others had passed away.” Cathy discovered the truth - he was conducting affairs of his own.

• Gaslighting - “He would do things to unsettle me. If he made a mistake or broke something, he would blame me.”

This degraded Cathy’s memory and self esteem.

• Belittling - Cathy spoke of the degrading names he called her (unprintable). He would compare her life achievements with derogatory acts and often state that other women did things better than she did. If Cathy spoke up in her own defense, he gave her the silent treatment that could last for days. Cathy became the butt of jokes and the scapegoat when things went wrong. “When he was ready, he would give me an excuse, say he was stressed, and love bomb me again.”

• Lies - “When I would least expect it, he would deny who I was to people.

One of many examples was when he told me his daughter was coming over. I hadn’t met her before, so I got myself and the house suitably ready.

Then he sent me a copy of a message he sent his daughter telling her that I was his friend visiting - making it clear they were not to be misconstrued as partners.”

• Flying Monkeys - those minions surrounding a charismatic person that are willing to do their bidding.

“One of his best mates was threatened by me as I knew a lot about him and was warned of his character by several people. He was willing to do what he could to help this man with a smear campaign on my reputation.”

Cathy said he moved others into the house, including

this friend’s kids to make her feel uncomfortable and intimidated. It did. engendering dramatic events that can be used for gaslighting later. However, this triggers the love bombing phase to “make it up,” and start another cycle to keep the fantasy alive.

“Considering my relationship with the family, I can’t believe no one told me what his situation was. I had helped this family with trauma in the past for decades and was commended publicly for my efforts. His father asked me at one point, “If I’d done my research?

That enigmatic message was all the warning I was given.” as well as unexplained or irregular absences, depraved sexual acts. Cathy states that his phone was usually hidden from her.

“A part of the power play, and he would often not answer my calls.”

About 3 to 4 years into the relationship, things turned really nasty.

There were situations when Cathy feared for her safety.

“If you don’t feel it’s right, but can’t prove it’s wrong, talk to those around you and be prepared to not like the answer,” Cathy said.

We spoke of what someone could have said to Cathy that would have made her realise what was actually happening to her.

“It’s hard. I needed to be asked “What makes you think he is not lying and cheating and conning you?” and provide some proof.”

Symptoms of someone affected

by NPD abuse include physical and mental changes. A timid, hunched stance as well as nervousness, symptoms of shock, staring eyes, lack of eye contact, frailness and feeling numb. Memory affected causes forgetfulness or uncertainty of facts, concentration.

Cathy believed that the situation would change when he was not stressed. The worse he got, the more Cathy tried to placate him. Cathy has lost in excess of $50,000 throughout this ordeal.

Cathy now suffers from crippling self blame and embarrassment about her inability to see what was in front of her. Her support network, including medical practitioners, acknowledged the seriousness of the situation.

Cathy is rebuilding her life and part of that is supporting other women who have suffered from similar situations.

Cathy is in discussion with women’s support groups in the Northern Rivers region to provide support to women in rural situations. You can also email reclaimyourworth1@gmail.com for a list of support services currently available.

FATHER BROWN

ABC, 7.30pm

FRIDAY

ATLANTA

SBS VICELAND, 9.20pm

It has been almost four years since this genre-defying comedy graced the screen with a fresh batch of episodes. Following the Atlanta rap scene and the exploits of Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry, above right), Earn (Donald Glover, above left), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), and Van (Zazie Beetz), this surreal, funny and thought-provoking series won the hearts and minds of critics and fans alike. Tonight, season three finally lands, with the fourth and final season set to quickly follow next year. This season, the crew is transplanted to Europe, where culture shock and the struggle with success compounds on their successful tour. Expect the unexpected.

Step back into the 1950s and revisit the picturesque and charming town of Kembleford, the fictional village set in the Cotswolds. Father Brown returns for its ninth season, with the guarantee of murder and intrigue brimming in the idyllic farming locale.

This landmark season will conclude with the much-loved show’s 100th episode, set on New Year’s Eve at a fancy masked ball. Tonight, in “The Menace of Mephistopheles”, the titular hatted clergyman (Mark Williams, right) faces a confounding mystery when Sergeant Goodfellow (John Burton) turns to him for help after he witnesses Inspector Mallory (Jack Deam) frame an innocent man.

It’s crime made almost wholesome.

THE AMAZING RACE

PRIME7, 8.40pm

Where there’s a will, there’s a way for a big-budget extravaganza such as The Amazing Race.

After more than 30 seasons of aeronautic, crosscountry hijinks hosted

by Phil Keoghan, this 33rd season was initially cut short because of the pandemic. Teams kicked off the competition in February 2020, then resumed filming more than a year later in September 2021; that’s a lot of time to revise and game plan. Tonight, the finish is on the horizon: it’s the final leg, with three teams left ready to take on the trip from Lisbon, Portugal, to Los Angeles California.

Filmed using a private jet to avoid COVID complications, the $1 million cash prize seems like a drop in the ocean in comparison.

36 REAL ESTATE

Housing supply key consideration of proposed reforms Councils have until March 25 to provide further feedback on proposals to reform infrastructure contributions as the NSW Government carefully considers issues raised during consultation.

Infrastructure contributions are paid by developers to councils and the State Government to fund

infrastructure including roads, stormwater drainage and public space, which is critical to support the growth of NSW. Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes Anthony Roberts said more than 800 submissions have been received from industry groups, councils and individuals.

“Infrastructure delivery

is critical to boosting housing supply and affordability and I’m taking the feedback we’ve recently received on the proposals seriously,” Mr Roberts said.

“The purpose of the reforms is to encourage investment – helping to boost housing supply by injecting simplicity, certainty and fairness into the system for

funding the infrastructure needed to build homes.

“We want to make sure this can be done without impacting the ability of councils to deliver the infrastructure for which they are responsible.

“We won’t make any changes until we are certain that this can happen and that the reforms will help us boost housing supply and affordability.

Thinking Real Estate. Think TCR

“We’re working through the issues raised in submissions and will continue consulting with industry, councils and the community.”

Mr Roberts said that housing affordability and attracting investment in more homes were key priorities for the government.

“We need more homes and new communities supported by quality

infrastructure and that costs money. We will only implement changes that stakeholders agree can help deliver this,” Mr Roberts said.

The package of reforms was exhibited for six weeks at the end of last year and followed extensive consultation on the proposals with the development industry and councils.

CATTLE PRICES ACROSS MOST KEY BEEF-PRODUCING REGIONS AT THEIR HIGHEST LEVELS IN FIVE YEARS

Cost increases to challenge global beef demand Global beef markets remain tight on strong ongoing consumer demand and constrained supply, however headwinds are building, Rabobank says in a newlyreleased report.

In its Q1 Global Beef Quarterly, the specialist agribusiness bank says while global beef prices remain high – with cattle prices across most key beef-producing regions at their highest levels

may result in an easing of consumer demand for beef.”

Australia For Australia, the report says, “encouraging rains” across central, northern and eastern

are building in the supply chain. And this will test the willingness of consumers to continue to pay ‘top dollar’ for beef.

“Over the past two years, retail beef prices have been phenomenal,” the report says, largely driven by strong consumer demand and some supply shocks.

“In Q4 2021, beef retail prices in the US were 23 per average and in China, they were 24 per cent above the Consumer ‘demand pull’ Much of this increase in prices has been caused by “demand pull”, Rabobank senior animal protein analyst Angus GidleyBaird said, driven by increased consumer appetite for beef due to factors including lockdown restrictions, additional disposable incomes from Covid stimulus packages and (in the case of China and African swine fever in pork) limitations on the availability of alternative proteins.

“With beef supply unable to keep up, the increase in demand has created an imbalance in the market and, as a result, beef prices have lifted,” he said.

In many cases, Mr GidleyBaird said, the increases in retail beef prices have been among the largest in history.

And, while beef prices continued to increase through 2021, prices for many other proteins remained stable or contracted.

“While price rises in beef have been dramatic, the fact they have been largely caused by consumer demand has meant they have been accommodated. That is, consumers have been willing to pay higher prices to continue consuming beef,” he said.

pressures are building in the beef supply chain, the report warns, with labour, freight and energy costs among the largest to see increases, along with feed.

A number of these cost increases will be permanent and need to be

“accommodated” and passed on into retail pricing, Mr Gidley-Baird said.

“Some of the cost pressures – such as freight, energy and feed – are cyclical and over time are expected to decline, allowing for some easing in 2022. However, a number of cost increases – those associated with labour and sustainability for example – will be permanent and will need to be accommodated within the supply chain,” he said.

“Further increases in beef prices run the risk of consumers substituting other proteins or reducing their overall consumption. And we are starting to see signs they might be reaching their limit.”

Russia Ukraine The Q1 report says the

is not expected to have a major impact on global beef markets, given Russia has a less prominent role in markets ago. Russia only accounts cent of global beef imports with its major suppliers being Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.

However, indirect impacts are possible. fertiliser and feed costs as a result of the beef supply chain and, with Russia and Ukraine accounting for 29 per cent of global wheat exports, any trade embargoes could pressure feed prices,” Mr Gidley-Baird said.

“The general uncertainty – along with slower global also see an erosion of

“After a number of dry years in northern Australia, we expect these rains to stimulate restocking and herd rebuilding, adding further producer demand to an already strong cattle market,” Mr GidleyBaird said. “Such restocking will also support increased production in the years to come.”

Australian cattle prices remain strong, supported by ongoing producer demand for restocking, coupled with the limited availability of cattle, the report says.

Cattle processing has had a slow start for the year, with Omicron cases in the community impacting the labour force.

2022, east coast weekly cattle slaughter in Australia was nine per cent below the same period last year and 40 per cent below Gidley-Baird said.

Australian beef exports ended 2021 down 15 per cent on 2020 volumes, the report said. The largest declines were to the US (down 31 per cent), China (down 25 per cent) and Japan (down 13 per cent). Volumes lifted however to South Korea (up three per cent).

Live exports followed a similar trend – down 27 per cent overall, with volumes to Indonesia down 13 per cent and to Vietnam down 44 per cent.

NSW FARMERS WELCOMES RURAL HEALTH PUSH

NSW GOVERNMENT LEADING THE WAY WITH FARM RENEWABLE ENERGY REVIEW Regional communities and farmers are set to launch of a review

The state’s peak agricultural body has welcomed a move to establish a dedicated NSW Department of Rural Health.

Independent state MP for Wagga Wagga Dr Joe McGirr launched a petition calling for the establishment of a Department of Rural Health in NSW on Tuesday. Sarah Thompson, a NSW Farmers member and retired occupational therapist, said country communities experienced a lower level of access to health services, and a dedicated Rural Health Department might address those problems.

“We know rural health is not something you can improve by simply throwing money at it, we need a commitment and focus to deliver the services that are needed,” Mrs

Thompson said.

“As people increasingly look to the regions for affordable housing and better liveability, they will put more strain on already-stretched health infrastructure.

“A Rural Health Department could ensure healthcare facilities including hospitals, clinics, private practice, ambulances, mobile health provision and other health facilities are appropriately resourced.”

Mrs Thompson said it was pleasing to see a country doctor like the Member for Wagga Wagga call for a department that would be headed up by a former country nurse in Regional Health Minister Bronnie Taylor.

“Providing health services in rural and

remote communities – be it as a GP or a nurse or an allied health professional – has a whole different set of challenges and we need people with that experience driving this forward,” she said.

“We recognise and appreciate the funding that has been invested in regional health, particularly to deliver important hospital infrastructure and equipment, but we need an equal focus on building the number of health professionals working within these facilities and provide services across the community.

“Ultimately, regional, rural and remote communities deserve excellent health care and that’s what we want to see achieved.”

into the issues and opportunities arising from the growth of the agricultural and renewable energy sectors.

Minister for Energy Matt Kean said NSW Agriculture Commissioner Daryl Quinlivan will conduct the review and provide year.

“The renewable energy and agricultural sectors are vital for the continued growth and prosperity of NSW. We need to make sure we capture as many of the opportunities they create for our regional communities as possible,” Mr Kean said.

“The review will look at how the renewable energy sector helps to diversify farming income streams and create regional

jobs, and consider any opportunities to improve existing frameworks, such as

sure we’re doing all we can to facilitate

the coexistence of solar and wind with farming.”

Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Dugald Saunders said he commissioned the review to ensure landholders understand

Saunders said. “This review will not only assess the issues and opportunities arising from the growth of renewable energy facilities on the farming sector, it will also address the

expansion of the renewables sector, while also addressing barriers or confusion when it comes to planning, construction and operation of renewable projects on their properties.

“We know that the renewable energy industry is presenting a number of opportunities for landholders, including increased additional income streams. However, as a government, we need to make

of businesses,” Mr

on housing supply, tourism, and workforce and labour issues in regional areas. “Our big users of renewable energy – irrigators, dairy farmers, poultry producers and red meat manufacturers – need as much encouragement from governments as possible and I look forward to smashing barriers so they can to continue to thrive in this future-focused sector.”

Quadrifoglio . . . say no more

ALFA ROMEO GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO CHRIS RILEY

aluminium, carbon

It’s a mouthful, that’s for sure, but the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is just one of those cars that will take your breath away.

Whether that’s struggling to get in and out of the low-slung machine, or being slammed back in the seat as it bellows its way to 100hm/h.

The four-door, twinturbo V6 sedan is a lover

Alcantara.

looker and a consummate performer -- a car without compromise.

Quadrifoglio is designed to go headto-head with the likes of the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63, both of which we’ve been lucky enough to drive.

STYLING Quadrifoglio is distinguished by a different front design, and larger air intakes for the intercoolers as well as brakes.

Side skirts also feature and the bonnet has two cooling outlets for the engine bay and there are gill-style outlets either side at the front to allow air to escape from the wheel housings.

And let’s not forget the green-on-white, four-leaf clover badges and those gorgeous clover leaf wheels.

The equally stylish cabin features an 8.8-inch touchscreen, integrated into the dash, with interactive widgets, full-screen maps and performance management features.

Prices for Giulia start from $63,950 for the Sport, $71,450 for the Veloce, then almost double by the time you get to Quadrifoglio at $138,950 -- all before on-road costs.

Both the Sport and Veloce feature a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, Sport with 140kW and Veloce with 206kW. Quadrifoglio ups the ante with a 2.9-litre twinturbo V6 that pumps out a thumping 375kW. Even more mindboggling is GTA and GTAm versions, both

a swoosh across the cabin, dominated by two bulging analogue instrument dials for the driver and some might say old-fashioned inset infotainment screen.

Importantly, a small information panel between the two dials can display a digital speedo and the current speed limit. Grazia mille.

At 8.8-inches the touchscreen is

with 397kW of power -but they’re silly money.

Options include Carbon Ceramic Brakes at $13,500, Sparco Carbon Fibre Seats $8250, TriColour Paint $3650 and so forth.

Black or yellow brake calipers are a mere $1000.

You also get 19-inch aluminium wheels with 245/285 Pirelli rubber (front/rear), splitter, Monza exhaust with quad tips, carbon rear spoiler, red brake calipers, leather and Alcantara trim, heated front and rear seats, active suspension and active cruise control.

INFOTAINMENT 8.8-inch Colour Multitouch Display with Navigation, Harman Kardon 14 Speaker Sound Theatre, Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), with Apple Carplay and Android Auto -- plus wireless phone charging.

ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS The 2.9-litre Ferrarideveloped twin-turbo V6 pumps out 375kW of power at 6500 revs and 600Nm of torque between 2500 and 5000 revs, with drive to the rear wheels through a conventional 8-speed auto.

To put this in perspective, that’s than the pinnacle of the HSV range, the E Series iteration pumped out 325 killer wasps.

That’s impressive, even more so given the Alfa is smaller and lighter, bonnet and rear spoiler to help trim the puppy fat.

SAFETY Safety systems include Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning (FCW), rear view camera, front and rear parking sensors, auto high beam, intelligent speed control, active blind spot assist and driver attention alert, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection.

DRIVING Firing up the Quad for from the four tailpipes is pre-emptive.

It felt quick from the get go, even before I’d checked the specs to see what it actually cranks out.

The Quadrifoglio set a new lap record for a sedan at the Nurburgring, with a time of 7 mins 39 seconds. That was the manual -- the auto mins and 32 seconds.

The all-aluminium engine was reportedly developed exclusively for the Quadrifoglio

by Ferrari. It’s related to Ferrari’s own twinturbocharged F154 CB V8 engine, sharing the California T’s bore and stroke.

The turbochargers are single-scroll units that have been integrated into the manifold, with water-

charge air coolers. It has sidemounted direct fuel injection, with maximum turbo boost of 2.4 bar.

The car is a torque vectoring diff to help put power to ground and can send up to 100 per cent of torque to either rear wheel.

The Quad dispatches the dash from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds, with a lofty top end of 307 km/h.

To help keep the fuel bill under control, the drivetrain also incorporates auto engine stop-start and cylinder deactivation, the latter shutting down three of the six cylinders when not required.

It drinks the good stuff and with a claimed fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km, we were getting 10.5L after more than 530km of mixed driving.

One-piece aluminium to the steering column, while DNA Pro drive adds a fourth, Race mode: Dynamic: Delivers sharper brake and steering feel with more aggressive engine, transmission and throttle tip-in calibrations.

Natural: Comfort setting for balanced daily driving, Achieves lowest fuel consumption with

cylinder deactivation, Race: Harder suspension, different torque vectoring settings and the stability system fully turned off.

Unless you’re going to track the car, however, Dynamic offers everything required and most buyers will almost certainly choose this mode.

The ability to modulate the active suspension, between sport and a softer ride -- bears some scrutiny.

The funny thing is, though it feels too busy in the softer mode, too twitchy and unable to settle -- so which switched back to sport.

The throttle is, if anything, overly responsive, even jerky at times, while steering is super direct and the brakes bite hard and fast (they need to).

Under hard acceleration the rear tyres manage to break traction despite the electronics, even with fat 285 P zeros on the back.

Handling, meanwhile, is fantastic. You can barrel into corners almost as fast as you can barrel out.

Stunning looks are matched by a stylish interior, trimmed in a combination of

not exactly large, understandable perhaps in a performance-focused machine -- but that means a small rearview camera (and to be honest, I don’t trust it, wouldn’t rely on it).

Sadly, we didn’t get to take the car to the track, but the driver of a VW Golf R Wolfsburg edition got the shock of his short life when he lined us up at the lights. It wasn’t even close, even though more.

SUMMING UP Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is an impressive motor car. Stunning yet understated looks, top shelf performance, and an engaging drive experience will keep you coming back for more.

Unfortunately, this is offset by the mechanics of owning and looking after a vehicle which doesn’t rate very highly in the practicality stakes.

If you can live with these things and can price tag, then go for it -- you won’t be disappointed (trust me).

1956 Rover P4 Rover’s Managing Director in the 1930s, Spencer Wilks, was determined to produce cars of high quality a measure of dignity.

He had no interest in building high performance vehicles.

For some years prior to the arrival of Wilks, Rover’s approach to building cars had been along these same lines and Wilks ensured that they continued in this

manner.

The P4 was part of a design philosophy commenced by Wilks’ predecessors but it had a more modern look and also incorporated mechanical improvements developed

by Rover engineers.

The P4 was a fourdoor sedan with its body mounted on a separate, solid chassis. Up front a 2.2-litre 56kW straightsix engine with overhead inlet valves and side-

exhaust valves drove the rear wheels in a very sedate manner. Fuel was supplied through two horizontal SU carburettors.

The body was designed for comfort and safety with wood panelling, leather seating and woollen pile carpets on front suspension with a beam-axle rear ensured a smooth ride.

It was Rover’s intention

that the P4 should remain in production for a number of years.

As changes and improvements were made, they were sensible ones that were made gradually. It did, in fact, remain in production from 1949 right through to 1964. During that time the main changes were to the engine and transmission.

Over the model life the six-cylinder had at least four upgrades in peak

power output and, for a period, various fourcylinder engines were also available.

These engines plus the choice of freewheel, overdrive or automatic transmissions meant that customers were spoilt for choice.

Specialising in 4x4 SUSPENSION & LOAD CARRYING SOLUTIONS

Before the by the very different P62000 in 1964, more than 130,000 had been built.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Cleansing the scum of the earth…choice Recent floods in Northern NSW and South East Queensland, and the heavy downpours along the east coast generally, have raised a new blight on the Australian landscape…move over redbacks, funnelwebs, king browns, taipans and dropbears, the new killer is mould.

Yes, that silent killer of clothing and food is upon us. We’ve all experienced soft, green carrots and sweet potato but lately who hasn’t opened a cupboard to find their favourite leather jacket a new shade of light blue or green?

Unless of course you had one that colour already.

Well, fear not, the supermarket is your friend.

An entire section is devoted to mould killers and scum removers, and the selection is mind-boggling, indeed a minefield, albeit an uncharacteristically clean one.

Alas the choice is completely confounding. For instance is ‘Hospital Grade’ better than ‘Professional’, or merely ‘Powerful’? Surely they’re professionals cleaning our hospitals even if they are outsourced from labour hire firms, and wouldn’t they use powerful stuff?

Why are some called ‘Daily Shower Cleaners’? Does this mean others shouldn’t be used daily?

Which ones? What if you do?

Is ‘Natural Antibacterial’, from ‘Earth Choice’ (must be green then) which comes complete with a cute, little leaf symbol telling us it’s ‘Vegan and cruelty-free’, better than say, plain ‘Antibacterial,’ or ‘Ultra Disinfectant’? And does this portend a whole new realm of

consumer consideration, ie how ‘Cruel’ are other cleaners?

Do we now need to ensure our cleaning products are ‘free-range’?

What cruelty is being inflicted in the pursuit of cleanliness?

Didn’t we deal with this in 1979, outlawing the use of cute, little, white, fluffy bunnies as guinea pigs so our cute, little, white fluffy kids wouldn’t cry when we washed their hair?

Are people really swayed by marketing ploys like ‘Rapid Clean’, ‘Amazing Bathroom Cleaner’, ‘Thick Clinging Formula’, ‘Bathroom Specialist’, ‘Goodbye Soapscum’, ‘Hardworking’, or ‘Tough on Scum’?

Hmm, people in Kooyong believed Josh Frydenberg was going to build them 50 carparks, so maybe.

Anyway, chances are all the products are made by the same company, including Woolies/Coles own brand.

Bit like some bigger wine companies really.

At least with cleaning products you’re probably better off making your own with vinegar, water, metho (for that sparkling finish) and a bit of lavender from the garden.

Can’t do that with wine so easily, at least not as nice as these: Max Crus is a Clarence Valleybased wine writer and Grape Expectations is now in its 26th year of publication. Find out more about Max or sign up for his weekly reviews and musings by visiting maxcrus.com.au

(Windowrie) The Natural Wine Co. Central Ranges Organic Lightly Sparkling Rosé 2021, $20.

These guys have obviously taken a cue from ‘supermarketing’: organic, vegan, low cal’, low alc’, no preservatives. It’s amazing they’ve still managed to make a decent wine. Well done guys. 9.2/10.

(Windowrie) The Natural Wine Co. Central Ranges Organic Lightly Sparkling White Wine, 2021, $20.

All the good bits of the above but without the pink bits. It’s kind of like a refreshing, flat, dry moscato, with just a little something missing, but you can’t tell what. Ditto 8 per cent too, so it’s almost safe for cute, little, fluffy white children and rabbits. 8.9/10.

Hutton Vale Farm Eden Valley Barossa Shiraz 2017, $75.

A family home for 180 years is a pretty impressive accomplishment, so where have the Hutton’s wines been all these years? Struth, imagine a vertical tasting? Lovely classic Barossan shiraz, with a touch of Eden class. 9.5/10.

Hutton Vale Farm Eden Valley Barossa Grenache Mataro 2017, $65.

“The first thing you should ask yourself when you find a lovely wine”, said a wise old doctor once, is “is there another one at least as good but cheaper?” Well yes, this one. This has an added interest factor. 9.6/10.

Charteris Wines Hilltops Le Fauve Rosé 2021, $30.

This “Wild Beast” (or ‘the fawn’ at least) is the palest of pinks and the palest of labels poses well with it as did we sipping it on the sofa as the similarly shaded sun set slowly behind the stringy barks and smelly flood silt. 9.4/10.

Charteris Le Fauve Orange Pinot Gris, 2021, $30.

A slightly superior gris with a slightly superior label. If only you could tell these things before you bought a bottle. But then I’d be out of job.

9.3/10.

Exploring climate-smart technologies for Australian viticulture PhD candidate Kate Kingston has been named the recipient of Wine Australia’s Dr Tony Jordan OAM Award 2022 to support her research that will develop and apply innovative biochar-based technologies to help the Australian wine sector adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Ms Kingston’s research will examine the use of

biochar in combination with the planting of Australian native legume plants to boost soil microbial activity and improve vine health. It and laboratory work in partnership with vineyards from the Granite Belt wine region.

Biochar increases soil organic carbon and water and nutrient retention in vineyard soil. Ms Kingston said these

amendments will help improve plant resilience to pests, disease, drought, heat and other extreme climatic events, reducing the potential of income loss and treatment costs.

“Biochar boosts soil microbial function and plant health, which can positively impact the quality and quantity of fruit at harvest,” Ms Kingston said.

“Adding native legume

plants alongside biochar has the potential to provide an organic form of nitrogen that soil microbes can transform into plant available ammonium. This can subsequently reduce fertilisation costs to the vineyard and loss of nitrogen as a pollutant from the system”.

The Award, named in honour of the late Dr Tony Jordan OAM, recognises the most

outstanding applicant of Wine Australia’s annual top-up scholarships for PhD and Masters by Research students and provides an additional stipend of up to $40,000 towards research for the Australian wine sector.

Ms Kingston said she is absolutely delighted and honoured that her research has been recognised for this prestigious award.

“Having healthy

soils with healthy soil microbes is incredibly important for mitigating and adapting to climate change on many levels.

I sincerely hope that my PhD research will provide practical solutions for vineyards in Australia and around the world to survive and thrive through the challenges we face.”

With two in three Australian adults currently overweight or obese, and around 47 per cent of Australians now living with related chronic health conditions, an updated report from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has reinforced that personal accountability coupled with financial rewards continue to be a key motivator for achieving weight loss. The recent analysis of over 48,000 CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet members, more than triple the sample size from the original study in 2018, found that those who successfully claimed the financial incentive offered by the program, achieved 28 per cent greater weight loss than those members who didn’t claim the financial incentive. Financial reward claimants lost an average of 6.2kg (or 6.7 per cent of their starting body weight), in comparison to the 4.8kg (or 5.2 per cent of starting body weight) lost by those who didn’t claim the financial reward.CSIRO Research Scientist and report author Dr Gilly Hendrie said the research was telling evidence of how taking personal accountability by engaging in self-monitoring behaviours promoted healthy weight loss.“It is encouraging to see the results of our study support other psychology and behavioural change research that self-accountability and financial incentives can have a meaningful impact on people’s weight loss success,” Dr Hendrie said. “Breaking unhealthy habits that have developed over a long time can be hard and it is easy to lose motivation if you are not seeing immediate results on the scales. “We’ve found self-accountability activities like tracking your weight and taking progress photos can be positive for members to see the physical changes from one week to the next; it can give them the drive to stay on track and continue to form the healthy habits which will help them achieve their health goals.” The analysis also found that two-thirds of members who claimed the refund reward lost a clinically relevant amount of weight, more than five per cent of their starting body weight, compared to half of the non-rewarded members. “A five per cent reduction in body weight is proven to markedly lower the risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and improve metabolic function in obese and overweight people,” Dr Hendrie said.

CSIRO Total Wellbeing Dietitian Pennie McCoy said since the financial incentive’s launch in 2015, the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet had given Australians $2.2 million in refund rewards, as well as improving their health. “With the number of CSIRO Total Wellbeing members claiming the refund reward increasing to nearly one-third over the past two years it is telling that Australians are not only prioritising their health but looking for weight loss programs that are also good for their wallets,” Ms McCoy said.“The refund reward was not only a key motivator to me signing up, but it helped me achieve my weight loss goals and regain my health because it sets up the framework to do things you need to do to be successful,” Mr Thomas said. “If I didn’t have to track my food for the refund reward, maybe I would never have got into the habit of tracking. Even now, three months after I received my refund, I’m still keeping up those behaviours. It’s allowed me to make positive changes to my own life and habits, and it has had a positive impact on my family. Best of all it didn’t cost me a cent.”

This year the theme is: Let go.

After two years of COVID, and the we think ‘Let go’ is a good theme for right now. It could mean let go of an object, like a rope, a safety net, a balloon, a leash, the handlebars, an oar, a waterbomb or a plate full of cakes.

It could also mean letting go of your fears, hopes, regrets, bad decisions or bad habits. It could mean letting go of the past. You can interpret the theme any way you like. ‘The Long Way Home’ is about our stories and who we are. It’s about what makes this place so special and unique,’ said the winner of last year’s open category, Kathryn Goldie. Everyone from schoolkids to adults is invited to send something in. The competition is open to new, emerging and established writers. This written something, or perhaps you

is published every year in a beautifully designed and printed book. ‘Stories From the Clarence Valley 2021 - Look Up’, is available online. It’s also for sale at Grafton Book Warehouse, South Grafton Books and Gifts, Coldstream Gallery, and The Nook in Yamba.

“It’s great to make heats just down the road from home at an amazing beach like Avoca,” Slattery said.

“I’m only about 40 minutes up the road so to not have to travel too far and have the comfort and wave knowledge of a neighbouring area is really awesome. I’m looking forward to the next few days and hopefully I can continue to get some heat wins and chalk up some event of the year.”

Another major and opportunity rich conditions was George Pittar (North Steyne) who utilised his classy forehand attack to thrive in his third round heat posting the highest heat total of the round. Pittar continued his smart heat strategy only catching a small number of waves, however his best two made up a solid total that his fellow competitors couldn’t match.

“I’m stoked to keep my momentum rolling from yesterday and get a heat win in some fun conditions,” Pittar said.

Hitting the water just before lunchtime, the Women’s second round did not disappoint with surfers locking away solid numbers to book themselves a spot in tomorrow’s action

packed day. The top their superior surf skills and showed us why they’ve earned their stripes on the QS. It was no surprise that Central Coast CT surfer Molly Picklum was front and center of the elite major numbers to set herself up with a spot in the third round.

Picklum was able to pick up where she left days of action, posting an 8.00 point ride in her second round heat to give herself a big boost as we get towards the pointy end of the event.

The Central Coast surfer bided her time in the lineup and was able to

strike a range of critical maneuvers on both her rides.

“I’m stoked to be through another heat down here at Avoca and surf against some of my best friends including Kobie Enright who I have been very close with for a long period of time,” Picklum said.

Picklum will now meet formerCT surfer Dimity Stoyle (Gold Coast), current Australia / Oceania Regional Rankings leader Nyxie Ryan (Lennox Head) and up and coming star Gia Lorentson (Noosa) in the action.

Ryan had her hands full in her second round matchup, however she

was able to clinch a spot in the next round with a second place as Zahli Kelly (Tweed Coast) reigned supreme with powerful forehand highest score of the heat being a 7.33 however, the classy natural footer in Kelly was able to net a strong two turn combination for a midrange score at the end of the heat to give her a buffe. A multiple time QS winner, Kelly looks as hungry as ever to try and secure a spot on the Challenger Series and inch closer to a CT debut which she has been so close to securing on numerous occasions.
