GREEK ISLAND ODYSSEY WITH BETTANY HUGHES
SBS, 7.30pm
BALLINA Mayor David Wright says despite attempts for Tweed Council to have the Queensland Border Bubble to include all of his local government area included down to almost Broadwater he is personally opposed the move. Speaking exclusively with The Northern Rivers Times Councillor David Wright said the move was a knee jerk reaction with far reaching consequences, with the latest Queensland Regulation Number 12 on the border lockdown not making anything better for Ballina residents and businesses already suffering from the latest moves by the Annnatasia Palaszcuk Labor government in the Sunshine State. “The local building industry has contacted me saying the latest border lockdown and ever changing bubble is already costing them $150 million because they cannot get materials down to Ballina Shire because delivery drivers will not come to our region because if they do they will have to self-isolate for two weeks on returning to Queensland because they have been outside of the Border Bubble,” Cr Wright said. “On the strength of the recent attempts by Tweed Shire Council to write to the Queensland and New South Wales governments to have the Border Bubble moved to include Ballina Shire I am saying this is an over-reaction, and I am putting together a position paper on this,” Cr Wright said. “I am mindful of the problems with people on the North Coast not being able to access essential medical appointments and care over the border, and I am calling on the New South Wales government to urgently consider sending and funding specialists to our region from Sydney and within NSW

RHODES ACROSS ITALY
SBS FOOD, 8.30pm
It’s not every historian who gets to break follow in the footsteps of their heroes, but in this series jet-setting scholar Bettany Hughes does just that. Inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey, the award-winning author is following the trail of Odysseus. Trying to match the modern-day Greek islands to those visited by the fabled warrior, Hughes is on a gripping adventure. Tonight, she reaches Santorini, an island some believe is connected to the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Her next port of call is Naxos, where a monumental statue of Odysseus has lain for thousands of years. Finally, she learns about early long-distance communication methods at Sifnos.
A fitting tribute to a man dubbed the first “rock star” chef, this series has shown award-winning restaurateur Gary Rhodes investigate the regional variations in Italy’s authentic cuisine. When seen from abroad, those variations are sometimes blurred, but Rhodes and his apprentices are getting up close and personal with the country’s culinary traditions, learning its secrets from local chefs and ingredients experts. Tonight, he travels to the northern region of Piedmont, the truffle capital. He begins by visiting Alba’s famous truffle fair, before going on a truffle hunt of his own. He’ll then use his bounty to prepare white truffle risotto with a classic steak tartare.
CELEBRITY IOU
NBN, 8.30pm
With more stars than a red carpet (remember those?), this Hollywood reno series sees A-listers reach out and help those who have had a major impact on their lives. With the help of “the Property Brothers” Drew and Jonathan Scott (pictured), they will say thank you with a heartwarming home renovation. Last week, Brad Pitt kicked things off and later episodes feature Melissa McCarthy, Michael Bublé and Jeremy Renner. Tonight, it’s Aussie Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson’s turn. The comic actress comes to the aid of her newlywed hairstylist and best friend Nicole, by transforming her boring backyard into a lush oasis and outdoor kitchen. 2808

HYUNDAI IONIQ - A COMPLETELY NEW MARQUE By Ewan Kennedy
HYUNDAI Motor Company has announced the launch of its new Ioniq brand dedicated to battery electric vehicles. The creation of Ioniq brand is part of Hyundai’s plan to lead the global EV market. Hyundai first introduced the term Ioniq, which fuses “ion” and “unique”, when it announced Project Ioniq, a long-term research and development project focused on ecofriendly mobility. However, the existing IONIQ vehicles (HEV, PHEV, EV) will not be housed under the new
to help alleviate this problem which is creating great angst and mental stress to local families and carers,” he said. “Basically, this is an over-reaction by Tweed Council and it really just shifts the problems they want to see overcome further south.” “Attempting to have the Queensland government expand the Border Bubble south to include Ballina Shire and also north of Brisbane really only complicates things.” “As we have seen decisions to alter the Border Bubble today will see decisions made to change it tomorrow.” Councillor Wright also said that
including Ballina into the Border Bubble would be devastating for local tourism. “Tweed Council in making this decision also included a call from the Mayor Katie Milne to ban all intrastate travel into the Border Bubble which could mean that all flights from Sydney into Ballina would be grounded.” “The airlines are already doing it tough, and with the massive downturn in fly in tourist traffic basically what the airlines are doing is providing a skeleton service to get professionals and essential business people in and out of our region,” Councillor Wright said.

IONIQ brand. IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and IONIQ 7 are coming, with the even numbers used for sedans and the odd numbers for SUVs. The first model will be the IONIQ 5 midsize in early 2021 which is based on the concept EV ‘45’, that Hyundai unveiled at the International Motor Show (IAA) 2019 in Frankfurt as a homage to its very first concept car. In 2022, Hyundai will introduce Ioniq 6 sedan, which is based on the company’s latest concept EV ‘Prophecy’, unveiled in March; followed by Ioniq 7, a large SUV in early 2024. IONIQs will sit on an Electric Global
