Rexit 3.0 might be best option TIM HOWARD It’s third time lucky for the Clarence Valley after Rex Airlines announced it would drop its Grafton-Sydney service at the end of the month says a local business once contracted by the company.

The owner manager of Grafton Travel, who until march was contracted to provide baggage handling and ticketing for Rex’s Grafton operations, said the airport should wave good-bye to Rex Airlines and look for another carrier.

He said it was vital for a new operator to provide the level of service the airport needs to be a success.

Last week the Rex announced it would cancel five regional services, including the Sydney-Grafton-Lismore service, from June 30 and Ballina from July 2.

Mr Bertalli, said his company had cancelled its contract with Rex to to handle baggage and ticketing at the airport because three services a week was not viable for his business.

“We stuck it out for a year, hoping Rex would lift the number of services to daily flights, but it became apparent it wasn’t going to happen,” Mr Bertalli said.

He said three flights a week in and out of Grafton was not attractive to customers.

“People couldn’t down to Sydney for business and fly back the same Letters TV Guide Rural Entertainment Real Estate

night,” he said.

“It meant staying two nights in Sydney for the convenience of flying in an out of Grafton.

Who can afford to stay two nights in Sydney regularly?”

Mr Bertalli said finding a new provider was the best option for the airport owners, Clarence Valley Council.

He said there were two services, Pelican Airlines and Link Airways who offered services similar to Rex. “They’re the airlines that fly the smaller aircraft that are able to use the runways at Grafton,” he said.

“I did hear a whisper that Qantas was getting some its smaller aircraft back from New Zealand, which theoretically would give them the capability too, if it happens.”

He said the council had been in discussion with Pelican early last year when Rex announced would cull the Grafton service at the conclusion of the Federal Government’s Regional Airline Network Support program on June 30.

Mr Bertalli said it appeared to him Rex was only providing the token service to Grafton and other regional areas to pick up the Federal Government cash.

“It seems fairly obvious they’re just taking the money while it’s available to keep up up its battle with Qantas,” he said.

“Now Rex has the capital city routes it’s 12 31 33 52 53

looking to ditch some of its regional routes.”

He said it would be a bad move for the council to take Rex on again, even if the government renewed the RANS money.

Clarence Valley Mayor Ian Tiley has some sympathy for Mr Bertalli’s views.

“When the new Clarence Valley was in discussions with Rex Airlines in 2006 we offered them reduced landing fees as an incentive,” he said.

“They’ve never paid a full landing fee, so we’re bitterly disappointed at the Rex decision to pull out as soon as the RANS agreement ended.”

He said the previous council had been in discussion with regional operator Pelican (based in Newcastle) when Rex and the council became embroiled in a dispute during 2020-21.

“I was aware of Pelican was sending out feelers to regional areas,” Cr Tiley said.

“At the time I was mayor at Armidale and they were enquiring to us about the possibility of operating out of there.”

He said re-establishing a link with Pelican or another commercial operator was an option for the council to pursue.

Cr Tiley said the council has resolved in is Clarence Valley Regional Airport Masterplan 2018-33 to keep the airport.

“They the previous council agreed on a plan to keep the airport operating until 2033,” he said. “It showed how serious they were about keeping it operating.”

Cr Tiley said the plan included options for the airport to have residential side lots and hanger and businesses operating from the field.

It also included an option for it to become the Clarence Valley’s emergency services hub, allowing the State Emergency Services and Rural Fire Services to operate from there.

He said it was a vital piece of infrastructure for emergency services because it was floodfree. And there was government funding for the SES at Ulmarra and for the RFS. “You would have to expect that funding to Health Gardening Cooking Stars Funerals

continue if those services were headquartered at the airport,” Cr Tiley said.

“That would help to offset some of the losses the council has keeping the airport running,” he said.

But the Member for Page, Kevin Hogan, who interceded to restore Rex’s Grafton service last year, said would like to keep Rex interested.

The company’s deputy chairman is former Nationals MP John Sharp He has written to the new ALP Minister for Transport, Catherine King, who was only sworn into the role last Wednesday, to restore the RANS funding to encourage Rex to stay.

Mr Hogan acknowledged the level of service to Grafton was not ideal, but argued it was better to keep a toehold in the industry than lose it entirely.

“Obviously a daily service is what people want, but it would be a great shame to lose it,” he said.

Mr Hogan said it would be up to the council to decide to make a longterm decision on the viability of the airport and/or which airline serviced it.

The announcement last week was the signal for Rex and Qantas to resume their war of words in the media.

Rex said its decision to cut its Grafton, Lismore, Bathurst and Kangaroo Island services on June 30 and the Ballina run on July 2, was a result of 63 64 65 66 67

“predatory behaviour” from Qantas.

Qantas labelled these comments as “weird conspiracy theories”.

Rex’s deputy chairman John Sharp said the cancellations were the result of Qantas’s “bullying and heartless behaviour.” ““This behaviour is all the more unconscionable after receiving more than $2 billion in Federal bailouts over the past two years.”

“Qantas’ wellpublicised predatory actions on Rex’s regional routes have meant Rex no longer has the ability to cross subsidise these marginal routes.”

Mr Sharp said Rex’s decision was made with a heavy heart, but it had to be done to improve the company’s financial performance.

In a press release Qantas dismissed the Rex claims.

“Rex has a monopoly on three of these routes it’s abandoning, so if it can’t make them work, it has no-one else to blame but itself,” the company said.

“Rex says it doesn’t have the funds to cross subsidise these routes, but it doesn’t have a problem finding money to invest in more aircraft for its capital city 737 operations.

“That must be confusing for regional customers given Rex’s tagline is that their heart is in the country.”

Business survey

Hogan appointed to Shadow Cabinet Page MP Kevin Hogan said he was “very humbled” to be appointed to the role of Shadow Trade and Tourism Minister within Shadow Cabinet.

“Our region is a large exporter, especially in the agriculture sector,” he said.

“I am looking forward to fulfilling this important role.”

Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and the Nationals leader, David Littleproud, announced the shadow ministry in Brisbane on Sunday, revealing it will include 10 women, with six Nationals in cabinet.

“What you’re seeing in this line-up is some fresh faces,” Mr Dutton said.

“We have incredible depth of talent — not just on the front bench, but on the backbench as well.

“But we’ve tried to get a balance here. And the balance is not just across jurisdictions, not just in terms of gender,

but experience, and I’m very proud of the team we’ve been able to put together.”

The Nationals have secured six shadow cabinet positions with Hogan taking his first senior portfolio.

Littleproud keeps the shadow agriculture ministry and boasted that trade and tourism had returned to the Nationals, with Hogan responsible for those portfolios.

Littleproud said the changes on the National party frontbench were “about renewal and generational change” and reflected that the junior Coalition partner now represents about a quarter of the combined party room.

“It’s about making sure we draw on those that have the experience to bring the harmony and peace within our party room, and bring the next generation through.”

The Department of Regional NSW (DRNSW) is currently developing updates for the Regional Economic Development Strategies (REDS). The REDS are important strategic documents that help to guide local economic development priorities in each community across regional NSW. As part of this project, a business survey is being conducted to better understand key trends and sentiment impacting the businesses community across regional NSW. The survey also seeks input from the business community about key priorities for supporting job creation and economic growth.

The short 15 minute survey can be accessed at https://survey. pwc.com/jfe/form/ SV_0Sp1sJoMVATyP54.

The survey will remain open until 30 June 2022.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Richmond Valley Council is selling nine industrial zoned lots at Reynold Roads, Casino. The lots are based in the Richmond Valley Regional Job Precinct and range up

$13.3m funding welcomed by decimated towns SAMANTHA ELLEY

The Reynolds Road lots, as part of the Regional Job Precinct, will offer improved planning pathways, such as cutting red and green tape with accelerated planning approvals and give businesses a strong competitive advantage in the area.

The development of industrial land in Casino is an important step in building up Northern NSW as a food crop value adding hub and will help to boost local employment.

Annual Ballina Shire Pool Closures Ballina Shire Council will close the Ballina War Memorial Pool for the month of June and the Alstonville Aquatic Centre for the month of July for essential annual maintenance.

The Ballina War Memorial Pool will close until Thursday 30 June 2022, reopening on Friday 1 July 2022.

The Alstonville Aquatic Centre will close from Friday 1 July 2022 to Sunday 31 July 2022, reopening on Monday 1 August 2022.

The annual closures are necessary to complete essential maintenance works.

In response to the welcome news that community and volunteer groups will be eligible for new grants up to $13.3 million, Rachel McNaught, General Manager for the Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre said communities were at different stages of recovery. “(In the Richmond Valley) they are still looking for food, they are still looking for water, they are still looking for that basic need,” she said.

“I’d say Woodburn, Coraki and Bungawalbin are still the areas of need.

“We need to look at these smaller communities that have been completely wiped out.”

Minister for Families and Communities Natasha MaclarenJones and Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke, along with Richmond Valley mayor Robert Mustow, visited the Woodburn Hub, run by the Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre to make the announcement last week.

“We know these community and neighbourhood centres are at the heart of our towns and villages delivering much needed services on the ground,”

Richmond Valley mayor Robert Mustow, Minister Natasha Maclaren-Jones, Minister Steph Cooke and Woodburn Hub coordinator Jordy Wade tour the Woodburn Hub. Photo Samantha Elley said Mrs MaclarenJones.

“That’s why this money is going to help them get back on their feet after suffering damage and loss of vital equipment during the floods.”

Jordy Wade, coordinator at the Woodburn Hub where people come in regularly to do their laundry, take home meals, get clothes, cleaning products and even camping gear, is pleased with the extra funding.

“This is definitely exciting news for the hub,” he said.

“The community is still in great need as it has been decimated.

“We are about getting people back into their homes and back to their lives.”

Mr Wade said the funding has made the difference for him to be able to sleep at night, but there are still so many needs.

“Volunteers are our priority at the moment,” he said.

“This is a 1200 metre squared shed and sometimes I am in here alone.

“Many volunteers are also in the community helping with clean up.”

The Woodburn Hub still has many material needs as well to be able to help the community,

“We have just started a campaign for heaters as people are getting desperate,” said Mr Wade.

“We easily have 1,000 people a week coming through our doors and on Wednesdays and Thursdays, our busiest days, we’ll get around 200 people a day.”

Details on applying for the grants Mrs Maclaren-Jones said there were two parts to the grants, which is available for organisations to apply to now.

“Organisations already on the ground providing those service supports, like the Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre, they will be able to apply online and funds will be rolling out in July,” she said.

“There is a second part to that and they’re organisations and community groups that may not already have direct engagement or contracts with the department. They will be able to put forward an expression of interest, assessments will be made and funds made available in the next six weeks.”

Ecological impact of floods The Environmental Strategies Team at Lismore City Council would like to acknowledge our communities’ resilience in the face of such adverse events.

Communities across the Local Government Area have done an outstanding job at rescue and disaster management with the help of the SES, the Police, the RFS and the ADF. The community spirit has never been more evident than in the months following despite the horrific events that unfolded.

Although many had prepared as best they could, these events have exceeded our previous understanding. The floods devastated lives, homes, wildlife and our local shared spaces.

The sheer amount of water that the Tweed, Brunswick, Richmond and Clarence catchments received during the February and March events has impacted rivers and floodplains, from the headwaters down to the coastal river mouths.

While much of this is a natural process, the scale of this event has staggered us all.

The Environmental Strategies team at Council is working

on understanding the flood’s ecological impact. It will be an ongoing process for everyone involved to assess how our community can prepare and adapt to the changing climate, and how we can support our ecosystems to do the same.

All streams and river systems are dynamic, although extreme events, as well as human activities, can accelerate natural processes. The management of our riparian zones in our catchment (and all other catchments) will provide a buffer against extreme events such as the recent floods and allow our rivers time to adjust to changing processes.

The Environmental Strategies team at Council have worked hard to achieve this through the Rural Landholder Initiative and partnering with various Landcare projects. Many individuals and organisations around the LGA work every day to repair and restore our local ecosystem.

It will take an all-encompassing effort across the Natural Resource Management field to begin restoration and healing.

Assessment team hits the road behalf, will provide property owners with a detailed building

A team of recovery specialists is visiting Northern Rivers communities to provide face-to-face help for residents, business owners and primary producers to register with the NSW Government’s Flood Property Assessment Program.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the Johns Lyng Group’s Mobile Registration Team has already helped hundreds of residents register to receive assessment reports for free.

“The Mobile Registration Team is travelling across the region to explain how the Flood Property Assessment Program can help get repairs started, and how residents can access the Back Home and Disaster Relief Grants,” Mr Toole said.

“This service has

inspectors.

Johns Lyng Group’s CEO Australia Nick Carnell said more than 3,800 residents, businesses and primary producers have already registered for the program.

“To date, over 900 property inspections have been completed with 300 of those sites including structural

already helped more than 300 Richmond Valley and Ballina Shire residents, and over the next fortnight, the team will be travelling through Byron and Tweed, including Main Arm where road access has only recently been restored.”

Minister for Emergency

Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the Flood Property Assessment Program provides home owners, business owners and farmers with a free building report which includes recommended repairs and estimated costs.

“If the building report records a property as ‘severely damaged’, the NSW Government will provide free demolition at the property owner’s choice. Both insured and uninsured properties are eligible,” Ms Cooke said.

“Our Mobile Registration Team will be visiting seven

Northern Rivers communities over the next two weeks and will maintain a roving presence throughout the region for as long as is needed.”

Loyalty card program helps with flood recovery Popularity of the Why Leave Town pilot program in Murwillumbah has generated strong interest from businesses elsewhere in the Tweed.

The expansion of the loyalty card program has prompted a name change to #LoveTheTweed Buy Local Program to take in the entire Shire.

Council’s Senior Economic Development Officer Kym Kranen said it was encouraging to see businesses from Tweed Heads to the hinterland and along the Tweed Coast come on board with the program.

She said an additional 14 businesses had joined the more than 60 Murwillumbah-based businesses which are already participating in the program.

Murwillumbahbased community organisation, It Takes

A Town, has been using the #Love The Tweed cards to support flood-affected residents in their recovery.

Carmen Stewart from

It Takes A Town said the organisation had distributed thousands of dollars’ worth of cards, from $50 to $500 in value, to meet

the identified needs of impacted residents.

“We love the cards as it means funds are going back into local businesses that were

also impacted by the floods,” Ms Stewart said.

“As an organisation, it means we’re not seeking and processing invoices for payment.

“Instead, we’re able to demonstrate trust by simply handing over cards to an agreed value, and leaving the purchase up to the homeowner.

Trust at a time like this is so important.”

The existing Why Leave Town cards are still valid in the program for up to 3 years at participating businesses.

Meanwhile, you can still visit the Mobile Library, bringing the service to you from the back of a station wagon and a marquee!

Sawtell dance hall days return The Sawtell Reserve Hall is set to receive a makeover igniting memories of old where it was a hub of social activity.

The Reserve Hall hosted much anticipated dances throughout the year with local and visiting bands, bingo during holiday periods, church services, concerts, boxing training and matches, and community events.

Coffs Harbour Council

Mayor Councillor Paul Amos said “this has been a valued place for the local community and visitors for over 100 years, since the first reserve hall building was constructed in 1911.

“Bringing this hall back to life provides our current generations a glimpse of what our social life used to be like.

“It’s a brilliant project.”

The current large timber hall was the second hall to be built on

the reserve in 1929, as the 1911 hall had quickly become too small.

The first hall was then used as a temporary school and later as refreshment rooms, operated for much time

by Mrs Richardson infamous for scones and sponge cakes.

As the centenary of the current hall approaches, upgrades of equitable access, new amenities, a kitchen and appropriate repairs and conservation

works will bring it back into use again.

The aim is to create a flexible and adaptable space that can be turned to suit any function such as: • Conferences/ workshops • film nights • dances • parties, weddings, dinners • games for holiday makers • community fundraisers.

The proposed upgrades and changes, which will help this hall continue in its important community role, are sensitive to its assessed heritage values.

Stage 1 restoration is a $500,000 project with 50/50 funding between Coffs Harbour City Council and Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.

This stage will ensure the structural integrity and weather/vermin proofing of the building,

including reroofing and repairs to the subfloor.

The following stages will see the upgrade of the building including recladding, new windows and doors, installation of commercial kitchen and construction of a fully accessible adjoining amenity building.

All works will be contingent on the availability of funding.

Council to freeze sports fields fees Council plans to freeze current seasonal grass sportsground hire fees and charges for part of the winter season to help local sports clubs recover from the impact of the long and unprecedented rain the whole east coast has experienced.

Council already heavily subsidises the cost of grass sportsground hire, with hire fees representing only around ten percent of the actual maintenance and running costs.

Application for Appointment of Board Members Broadwater Koala Reserve Land Manager Ever wondered who is responsible for keeping Crown reserves operating?

People who understand the need and have a desire to manage public Your role as a Board Member is voluntary, but the rewards of giving something back to the community are priceless.

In 2022, Council will apply a discount on grass fields it manages for the first two months of the six-month season to date – roughly a 33% discount for all winter sports, in recognition of the weather disruption to the season. In addition, Council is going to provide assistance to local football to extend its season into October.

“Since opening the Coffs Coast Synthetics at the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park in

February, we’ve seen around 370 bookings with 98% being by local sports and schools.

Plus, we’ve also hosted some key major events there already,” said Dan Heather, Council’s Group Leader City Prosperity.

Prizemoney increases for Casino Truck Show Soon hundreds of trucks will line the streets of Casino’s CBD as part of the 2022 North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show, and we are excited to announce more categories and significant prizemoney increases will be key features of this year’s event.

Kicking off the Saturday 6 August event will be a legendary Highway Lights truck parade along Johnston and Centre streets from 10am, where spectators will get to see some of the finest rigs in Australia.

Entertainment is at a premium with the popular Cath Simes Band and award-winning singersongwriter Col Finley performing throughout the day and night, and the formidable Aussie Strongman, Troy Conley-Magnusson, will attempt to break a Guinness World Record by pulling multiple prime movers.

According to NCP Casino Truck Show spokesman Darren Goodwin, the 2022

event would be a day to be remembered.

Mr Goodwin said the NCP Casino Truck Show was an Australian truck enthusiast’s paradise, with both trophy categories and prizemoney increasing this year thanks to the many supporters who came on board early to make sure those attending would be spoilt for choice.

He said potentially 300 blinged-up trucks with chrome shined to perfection would be competing for

the prestigious Tiny Lollback Rig of the Show honours, which this year comes with $1000 in prizemoney, as well as the AutoSmart Australia Top Five Elite Series, which awards each winner $500, and the Brown & Hurley Best Fleet Series, which is offering $800 for first place, $600 for second and $400 for third.

Around 60 trophies, sponsored by The Tyre Factory, will be presented to all winners and placegetters.

He said exhibitors

showcasing industryrelated products and services would be on display, and the Pengelly Trucks and Trailers Aussie FMX Show, featuring one of Australia’s top professional freestyle motocross teams, would be back to entertain.

As well, there will be plenty of kid-friendly activities such as amusements rides and face painting.

“The first Saturday of August in Casino is going to be great day for Australia’s truck

industry, trucking families and the general public,” Mr Goodwin said.

“Local companies will be joined by an influx of trucks from right around the country, all vying for more than 60 sponsored trophies.

“Exhibitors will showcase a range of vehicles including working trucks, new trucks, customised trucks, rigid trucks, fleets, and vintage and restored trucks.

“We are delighted to again welcome North

Coast Petroleum as our naming rights sponsor, and so thankful for the support we have received from numerous other sponsors.”

Richmond Valley Council’s Director Community Service Delivery Angela Jones said the NCP Casino Truck Show would not only help economically, but would also boost the region’s morale after a tough start to the year.

Ms Jones said the Truck Show had become a major drawcard over the years, bringing plenty of energy and colour to the town, and it was sure to be no exception this year.

The NCP Casino Truck Show is a strictly bob-tail/rigid event only.

Anyone arriving on the day with trailer/s or dog trailers in tow will be asked to leave the assembly area to unhook before rejoining.

Counsellor prohibited from providing health services The NSW Health Care Complaints Commission investigated the conduct of Ms Frances Amaroux, a non-registered health practitioner providing counselling services in Northern NSW, alleged to have engaged in unsafe and unethical conduct whilst treating a

vulnerable patient.

The Commission’s investigation found Ms Amaroux failed to provide a health service in a safe and ethical manner, engaged in dishonest conduct when treating the patient, and employed treatment methods which failed

to meet the needs of the patient.

Ms Amaroux also claimed to be a psychologist when she does not hold registration as a psychologist and failed to assist the Commission in its investigation, which is an offence for which she

was convicted.

The Commission is of the opinion that Ms Amaroux presents a risk to public health and safety in that vulnerable members of the public suffering from mental health conditions, who may be at risk of exploitation, may

Accordingly, the Commission makes the following prohibition order under section 41A (2)(a) of the Health Care

This was a shock as the Nationals didn’t lose a seat so wouldn’t it be a good idea to capitalize on that, but no, the party room delegates didn’t see it that way as one commentator said “Mr Joyce was accused of having Liberal blood on his hands after his party’s obstinate stance on tackling climate change turned innercity voters off sitting moderate Liberals.” I presume one example could be last October when Barnaby agreed to zero carbon emissions in exchange for more funding for rural areas.

Their blame game shows up their incompetence. The glaring difference is the Morrison Government knew how to handle the hurdles that lay ahead, where the Albo party has no clue. I would like to get Tania’s take on the current situation.

Albo still thinks climate change and live animal exports are more important than the China threat. Bowen is running around in panic mode over gas supply and prices, Marles is probably liaising with China for approval of his next major speech. How is Morrison looking?

Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation

Introducing David Witherdin As we await the results of the Flood Inquiry, David Witherdin, the person heading up the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation (NRRC). talks of the “feeling the urgency” regarding the situation in the Northern Rivers, “there is plenty to do.”

LARA LEAHY Every person in this region, a population of 280,000 people across seven Local Government Areas has been affected by the weather events this year. 3045 residential, commercial and industrial sites have been directly affected and our road system has been either riddled with holes, covered in land slips, or washed away.

The Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation officially comes into existence on July 1st, but works are currently underway.

Mr Witherdin divides the NNRC works into two key roles, infrastructure coordination across the region and implementation of community needs via the Flood Inquiry. Both look at the situation now, and plan for the future.

“The infrastructure and reconstruction projects that includes all the NSW Government agencies such as health, education, transport and so on across each of the 7 affected Local Government areas across

the affected region, are being addressed now,” Mr Witherdin says. He stipulates that the NRRC will be a focal point to coordinate and prioritise works across the area, to get the most out of the funding that has been provided to the region.

Development in this area is dependent on type of infrastructure.

Mr Witherdin said, “Certainly good progress is being made in areas like critical water supply and sewerage that are functional but only in a temporary state until we can get longer term fixes in place.

However, the ability to fix the roadways and the transport sector is being compounded by ongoing wet weather.

“Temporary housing is starting to come together.

There are more pod style homes coming in every week. More sites set up and that will continue to progress over the coming weeks.”

“The bigger, more challenging part of the role of the NRRC will be driven by the outcomes of the Flood Inquiry.

I have been working with Professor Mary

O’Kane and reviewing submissions received so far.” The Inquiry is being conducted

by Prof, O’Kane and former NSW Police commissioner Mick Fuller.

Mr Witherdin outlines the management challenges ahead including, “land use planning issue and opportunities for improved flood mitigation methods as well as preparedness and response.” He stresses the critical nature of community engagement, “We can only be successful moving in partnership with the community.

“We are working with each of the councils and when we get the responses from the inquiry, we will have the chance to go out to each of these communities and go through the recommendations and what it means for them.

Everybody’s impacted in a different way and we will need unique solutions for each of these communities. We want to move forward quickly, but we want to be able to provide

the solutions that each community is looking for - to collaborate and implement a better future.”

The NRRC manages the renewal of communities by coordinating planning, rebuilding and construction. Support is extended to the residential sector, LGA support as well as industry and economic development that will have a key role in the decision making process, all of which affects the safety and the future of the region.

There is a basic website for the NRRC, that will be improved on over the next month. Positions within the NRRC are to be advertised, shortly and there is a desire to fill these roles with Northern Rivers residents.

The NRRC focus is about infrastructure, planning and housing aspects for the region.

“The impacts of this will encompass much more than Lismore.

There might be smaller communities like Coraki, Broadwater, Woodburn and so on in the

surrounding communities that are much smaller but have been impacted as much. There are still a lot of grey areas around that because we only know what we know through people who have come forward.”

The NRRC are working with Resilience and the Dept of Communities and Justice as well as other stakeholders - local and state government and representatives.

Mr Witherdin says the community’s submissions in the NSW Flood Inquiry will go a long way to painting the whole picture of the experience of the area.

In the case of anything that comes up that is beyond the NRRC scope, they intend to act as a conduit. Mr Witherdin said “If there is a gap, we can help those issues to be raised with senior levels of government to work with and find solutions.

“We want to get things done on the ground in the most expedient way for the community.”

What you can do, is provide a submission for the NSW Flood Inquiry, online. Submission

deadline has been extended until June 24th.

“Don’t feel you only include concerns and experiences, but your ideas. For those that have seen things happen on the ground, this is a genuine opportunity to put forward your thoughts to help drive action in the future.”

For those that have been flood affected or damaged, Mr Witherdin recommends that you register with the Flood Property Assessment Program to access for a structural inspection.

An assessment will also provided a scope of works to rectify damage to buildings.

Mr Witherdin said, “This is not just about getting back to the way things were, but it’s an opportunity to build back better - not just the vibrancy of the area, but the safety and long term viability of the future of the region. It won’t all be easy - the people in the area have really been knocked flat and there are going to be some hard decisions, but we can all work together to make it happen.”

‘Not business as usual’ NORTH BYRON DISTRICT ACTIVATION COMMUNITY FLOOD RESPONSE The Parliamentary Inquiry into the 2022 floods, led by Hon Walt Secord MP, continued in Murwillumbah on Wednesday 1st June, where the Upper House Committee also interviewed leaders from the community including Kingscliffe, Casino and North Byron.

Justine Elliot’s office personally invited Francesca Esposito, Chair of the North Byron District Activation Community Flood Response group, to attend the Hearing and to represent the North Byron District.

Ms Esposito says: “The main thing the Committee wanted to know was what we, the community, needed right now. I made it clear that the best support we can receive is the cutting of endless red tape, the speeding up grant payments, the widening of grant criteria, the fast tracking of DA’s and extra funding for Councils to catch up on the back log of maintenance such as drains clearing. It is widely believed by the community across North Byron Shire that the impact of the flooding wouldn’t have been as bad if our drains had been regularly cleaned.”

Ms Esposito went on further to report to the Committee: “Most agencies I have spoken with have had an attitude of ‘business as usual’ – the problem is that we are far from that. We need the State Government to step in and provide meaningful support.

The State Government has the power to reduce our flood recovery to years rather than taking decades.”

The Parliamentary Committee heard from Esposito: “There’s over 2,000 flooded homes and almost 3,000 insurance claims worth $100 million in

North Byron District alone – half of our district has been wiped out including homes, farms and businesses.

The State Government has a responsibility to step in here and ensure that our community is well supported before a large segment of our population plunges into poverty just trying to keep up with recovery expenses. Folks don’t know that grants are available or that they could be eligible, and we are flat out sharing grant information with many residents.

So far our meetings have been community led, we are door knocking ourselves and doing letterbox drops to engage the community, as well as regular newsletters and social media. Council and government have not done this, we’re doing this ourselves off our own bat as folks are slipping through the cracks.

Many people are also being knocked back from receiving grants because they have not flooded enough. We need support and we need reform on many levels.”

The Committee asked Ms Esposito what sort of reform was needed: “Insurance reform for starters, serious reform, including flood cover to be made mandatory, flood insurance to be subsidised by government, house elevations and waterproofing to be subsidised, and the sum insured to be replaced with market value so that folks don’t find themselves being underinsured. We need advocacy for the rental subsidy to be increased from $7,200 because in Byron Shire this covers 5 weeks for an average house rental of $1400 a week. We need generators in every household, Starlink

satellite dishes on every community building and surf life saving tower and we need drains to be cleaned which have not been cleared for 15-30 years.

We also need DA’s for things like house raising to be allowed as a Complying Development and not a full blown DA. We’re not talking about cutting corners, we just need the State Government to assist Councils by providing more funding and resources to enable Councils to do their jobs faster – Byron Council is just not fast enough and the community is hurting.

We also need the requirement for five forms of ID to apply for a government grant to be reviewed – many folks are unable to apply for financial support through Centrelink or Service NSW because they have lost all their paperwork in the floods.“ Mr Ian Wills, President of the North Byron Business Chamber says: “We need all levels of government to step in and provide the support we need for business too. We have many businesses in the North severely impacted who are being told they are ineligible for grants even though they are clearly in distress and have been severely impacted. The criteria for flood grants are far too strict and needs to be relaxed to ensure that folks are getting the support they need to keep operating.”

Our Kids grants now open The Our Kids Community Grants are now open.

The Our Kids Community Grants aim to improve children’s health in the Northern Rivers and help purchase equipment for families and community groups that care for local children living with special needs.

Grants of up to $2000 are available to parents and guardians who care for children living with special needs.

Free solar - savings up to $600 on electricity bills

organisations, health professionals, and community groups that care for children living with special needs and chronically ill children can also apply.

“The grants are a great way to give back to families and children outside of the hospital walls,” Rebekka Battista, Our Kids Fundraising Coordinator, said.

“We encourage families and groups who care for children living with special needs living in the Northern Rivers and who need equipment or therapeutic assistance to apply, particularly those who have been affected by the floods.”

Local boy Nash Hilliard has been the recipient of an Our Kids Community Grant which assisted with feeding supplements and equipment to help care for Nash, who needs nasogastric feeds to thrive, and has spent many weeks of his life in the Lismore Base

Hospital Children’s Ward. Nash was also one of the stars of the Our Kids Calendar in 2019.

Alyssia Hilliard, Nash’s mum, said the grants had been a huge benefit to her family.

“The help from the Our Kids Grant has been absolutely life-changing.

It helps us not to stress or worry as there is so much needed when caring for a child living with special needs,” Ms Hilliard said.

This year, the James Frizelles Charitable Foundation and the Far North Coast Law Society are generously helping Our Kids to fund the Community Grants.

“Given that the February flood destroyed the Our Kids Office and we are rebuilding, all Our Kids fundraising events are on hold, so it’s incredible to have this extra support this year,” Rebekka said.

Call for further income support DRA and the top-up payment.”

“On March 1st we announced the DRA, a thirteen-week payment for those who lost income as a direct result of the flooding.”

“Due to the scale of the disaster, I then secured a $350 weekly top-up payment for those eligible for the DRA in the hardest hit areas.”

“This has supported thousands of individuals and families to pay their bills and keep food on the table.”

“As we pass 3 months since the flood, there is still much work to be done, and with fewer than 20% of Lismore businesses

resuming operations at this stage, it is essential the DRA and top-up payment be extended.”

“Given the magnitude of this natural disaster and the scale of the ongoing recovery effort, these income supports are a vital measure required to keep employees connected to businesses as they work to rebuild and reopen to service an important regional centre.”

Community members sought to join commitees Expressions of interest are being sought from Tweed residents interested in joining one of 6 advisory committees which provide advice and recommendations to Council.

Suitably experienced community members are called for and appointed every 4 years, for the term of Council. Due to the delayed local government elections in 2021, this term has been reduced to 2 years and 8 months.

Mayor of Tweed Chris Cherry said the Advisory Committees play a vital role in Council’s decision making.

“Councillors really value the advice and recommendations we receive from Advisory Committees,” Cr Cherry said.

“It is crucial that we listen to a range of opinions and perspectives when making decisions that affect the community.

Advisory Committees provide us with their considered advice and recommendations based on their knowledge and expertise in the relevant topic – it is an essential part of our consultation process and helps us make better decisions in the best interests of the Tweed.”

Cr Cherry thanked members who served on Council’s Advisory Committees over the last term for their

participation.

“We thank members for their contribution and now invite expressions of interest from suitably experienced people to join one of our advisory committees for this current Council term,” she said.

Advisory Committees

open for expressions of interest include: • Equal Access Advisory Committee: provides advice and recommendations on community and organisational perspectives relating to access and inclusion across a range of Council

projects.

• Floodplain Management Advisory Committee: advises Council on the development and implementation of the NSW floodplain risk management process across the various catchments within the

Tweed Shire.

• Tweed Coast Koala Advisory Committee: aims to ensure broad community representation and interagency involvement in the implementation of the Tweed Coast Koala Plan of Management (KPOM).

• Tweed Coast and Waterways Advisory Committee: provides advice and recommendations on ecological health, coastal hazard risk and recreational use of the Tweed Coast and waterways with a focus on integrated management and promoting cooperation between community, government and industry.

• Tweed Regional Gallery Advisory Committee: assists and advises Council in matters relating to the review and updating of the Gallery’s policies and plans.

• Tweed Regional Museum Advisory Committee: advises Council on all matters relating to the development, management, care, control, funding, policies and possible and future developments and management of Tweed Regional Museum.

Expressions of interest close on Wednesday 15 June 2022.

To learn more and register your interest in participating in one of these committees, visit yoursaytweed.com.au/ advisory-committee-eoi.

Separate Expressions of Interest processes will open in due course for Management Committees to advise Council on a range of programs.

Sam Farraway said thousands of kilometres of new rumble strips would replace existing the NSW Government’s commitment to making regional roads safer.

“Rumble strips are estimated to reduce fatalities and injuries by 15 to 25 per cent – particularly in crashes associated with fatigue

or distraction,” Mr Farraway said.

“Through the Saving Lives Accelerated Program (SLAP), our Government has committed $46 million over the next three years to install rumble strips and enhance linemarking on key regional routes.

“It’s part of our record $14.5 billion investment

into regional roads and transport to improve everyday life for people living and working in NSW. “Our strong economic management means we can invest more in important infrastructure and build what matters.”

Other highways included in the 202122 program are the Cobb Highway (Hay to

Moama) Castlereagh Highway (Lithgow to Dunedoo), Golden Highway (Singleton to Dubbo), Kamilaroi Highway (Quirindi to Bourke), and Oxley Highway (Wauchope to Coonabarabran).

Work will commence progressively from the end of the month between 7am and 6pm seven days a week,

weather permitting.

For the safety of all motorists and workers, reduced speed limits of 40 km/h will be in place during work hours along with single lane closures.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, control and allow extra travel time.

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

‘MUM JANE’ JOINED THE C.W.A Crikey! ‘Mum Jane’ has been a Member of NSW C.W.A. for a whole year. She just couldn’t help telling me, ‘Leemo Cat’, how nifty being a CWA Member has been for her. Hmm, ponder!

(OMG, as IF I’m even one ‘teensy’ bit interested? I’m NOT!) ‘OK Mum, in these past 12 months, from astute observation, I have not seen one single scone baked by you? Let alone with jam & clotted cream?

Nor have I observed you in your old lady armchair knitting away at the speed of light, producing splendid warm Cat blankies, scarves… or anything else even vaguely related to the arena of knitting.

And let’s not forget crocheting, sewing and embroidering.

AND, Mum, there are TRULY many other very notable organisations bearing the initials C.W.A.’ As usual, her skinny feeble eyebrows rose and the meanie stare-glare was directed right at me. ‘OK Smarty Pants ‘Leems’ just name them! Whoohoo…I fetched my stool and lectern and addressed her question in earnest.

‘Well, Mum, (whilst under my breath muttering you dim witted old woman) I shall name, for you, just a few of them.

“The” Cat Writer’s Association: (to which I obviously belong!) Currawong Warblers Assocation: Cowboy’s Wives Association: Crabby Wives Association:

Caribbean Waterfowl Association: Crafty Warthog Association: Crocodile Whistler’s Association: Constant Whingers Association ….and there are heaps more MUM, so there!!

Suck it up and learn will you! AND Mum, you total ‘Queen of Crabbiness’, tell me what is so wondrous about your C.W.A. organisation? Kindly explain if you so please!!’ Of course, as usual, I was directed to sit and pay attention to whatever rubbish diatribe she might come out with. ‘Leems’, there may well be other INITIALS C.W.A., BUT there is only one Country Women’s Association. It was founded in Australia in 1922 by a nifty lady named Mary Warnes.

This year is our 100th Anniversary. (like, as if I care?) Leems, what I have personally found being a CWA Member is that rare thing called honest FRIENDSHIP. With this comes warmth, laughter, sharing, helping rural women & families, learning many things, compassion, appreciation, and respect for each other as unique individuals.

I might add Leems, that the CWA is the largest advocacy group in the nation for rural and regional Australia. I’ll wager you 2 viewings of ‘Bluey’ this cannot be said about the Crafty Warthog Association?’

Hmmm…well, I ‘spose if being a CWA Member makes her happy I won’t say another word. BUT, as I try to have the last say, I asked…

‘So, Mum, do I detect the enticing waft of fresh pumpkin scones?

The clacking of knitting needles?”. A questioning look came my way with the words “Leems my beloved ‘lil buddie, apart from YOU joining the Lismore CWA Day Branch is the bestiest thing I have done in many years ‘cos I knew I would be more disappointed by the things I didn’t do than by the ones I did”. me. Nitey with warm purrs, Leemo.

Committee visits Tweed to hear from flood victims Mayor of Tweed Chris Cherry has called for the immediate expansion of the Voluntary House Raising and Voluntary House Purchase schemes to mitigate against future social and economic impacts caused by flooding.

The Mayor was addressing members of the NSW Upper House Select Committee on the Response to Major Flooding across NSW in 2022, which met in Murwillumbah yesterday.

Cr Cherry said an urgent expansion of the NSW Government’s voluntary house raising and voluntary house purchasing programs was required to provide certainty to residents affected by the recent flood.

“The only way we are really going to move forward is to get people out of the flood plain and out of risk,” Cr Cherry said.

“We are desperately asking for the Voluntary House Raising and Voluntary House Purchase programs to be given significant funding - and immediately.

“The time is now, people are making decisions now whether to reinvest in their properties or not. We are calling for urgent consideration from government on this.”

Cr Cherry made her comments as she tabled

Council’s submission to the separate NSW Independent Flood Inquiry 2022, which was unanimously endorsed at the last Council meeting.

The report makes 15 recommendations to the NSW Government, including that these 2 housing schemes be urgently reviewed to determine whether their eligibility can be expanded to apply to a greater number of residents.

The report further called on the State Government to significantly lift its funding for the schemes to $300 million in the first year and $200 million in the second year to make a meaningful difference to the effectiveness of the programs.

Other recommendations

in Council’s flood inquiry report include: • Warning systems: a review of forecasting warning systems to account for projected changes to weather patterns and intensities, as well as community education in relation to warning systems • First responders: consideration be given to merge the SES, Rural Fire Service and Fire and Rescue Service into one overall emergency response agency that works collaboratively with police, for resourcing to support paid SES personnel, and funding for the upgrade of emergency evacuation centres • Communication and electricity networks: creating more resilient networks to ensure radio, mobile phone and NBN/

broadband services are maintained in disaster events • Flood mitigation: increased investment in flood mitigation schemes such as the voluntary house purchase and raising schemes, a review of the Murwillumbah CBD levee and drainage study and enhancement of the Murwillumbah CBD levee and pump systems • Funding and procurement: better coordination and consolidation of disaster grant funding programs, provision of greater clarity and flexibility for tendering procurement for emergency procurement in response to natural disasters • Planning reforms: implementation by the NSW Government of a local housing strategy

support team to work with councils; reducing the number of people living in high flood prone areas • Roads: A review of the flood immunity of the Pacific Motorway (M1) at Chinderah, including the restriction of emergency access and supplies to the region when it is cut • Community: Enable councils to fund and support community resilience plans that build a culture of preparedness and resilience, including education around flood warnings and river levels • State natural disaster management plans: regular update of plans outlining the State’s role when it comes to disaster management, including in relation to temporary housing plans

post-event; and for grant funding announcements to be made within 24 hours of the declaration of a disaster and for that to be distributed equally to all areas within that declaration.

A copy of Council’s full Flood Inquiry submission is published on the Flood Recovery Dashboard, accessed via a tab on Council’s webpage.

The report was strongly endorsed by the Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association, during their presentation to the Upper House Select Committee.

Council is encouraging residents, businesses and community organisations in the Tweed to contribute to both the independent Flood Inquiry and the Upper House Select Committee.

The deadline for submissions to the independent Flood Inquiry has been extended to Friday 24 June 2022. For more information, visit www. nsw.gov.au/floodinquiry.

Have your say on priorities for women Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh invites Coffs Coast women to shape the direction and priorities of the next NSW Women’s Strategy, with public consultation open until 20 June.

This Strategy provides a policy framework to help improve the lives

of women by addressing the structural issues that affect gender equality.

Mr Singh said it’s important the NSW Women’s Strategy experiences of a diverse range of women from both metropolitan and regional NSW. “Getting the next

Strategy right relies on us understanding what is working well for women and what areas we need to focus on,” Mr Singh said.

Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the more women we hear from, the better understanding we have of what we need to do

to improve the lives of all women in our state, no matter their age, their background or their postcode.

“We’ve made incredible progress in improving economic opportunity for women in NSW since the last strategy was released four years ago, but there is still work

to be done to improve women’s health and wellbeing and increase women’s participation in our communities,” Mrs Taylor said.

The NSW Government’s Women’s Economic Opportunities Review announced in February 2022 complements the

development of the new NSW Women’s Strategy.

Public consultation is open to all women, and any individuals or organisations that work closely with women. Online public consultation is open until 5pm Monday, 20 June.

Region above state average for water law enforcement actions Almost half of all investigations finalised by the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) in the North Coast region since 2019 have resulted in enforcement actions.

Statewide, the percentage of investigations finalised resulting in an enforcement action by NRAR is 30 per cent.

NRAR Director Water Regulation East, Gregory Abood said

these results highlighted changing attitudes toward water laws in NSW. Public reporting of NRAR’s water law enforcement activities in NSW began in mid2019 and the latest data for January to March this year has been added to the tally.

The data shows that 686 investigations were completed in the North Coast area since mid 2019 with 315

enforcement actions against rule breakers – representing a strike rate of more than 46 per cent.

The number of investigations and enforcement actions on the North Coast for the period was the highest in NSW. NRAR enforces the law to ensure fairness to those who comply with NSW water laws.

Enforcement actions on the North Coast

include fines (80), orders to carry out remedial work or stop work (111), and formal warnings to comply (124).

The North Coast is one of three regions in NSW whose percentage of enforcement actions from finalised investigations was well above the state average. The others are Murrumbidgee and Gwydir.

There are 14 water

sharing plan regions in the state.

“We’ve been very successful in encouraging a shift towards voluntary compliance among the State’s water users,” Mr Abood said.

“Part of that has been actively enforcing the law, we have more than 4000 completed investigations under our belt, but part has also been in our commitment to transparent

reporting,” he said.

“We put forward our enforcement figures every quarter for people to see what, where and when we do it,” he said.

“This quarter’s enforcement action numbers are lower than some periods in previous years due in part to our proactive approach.”

Be part of the solution at housing forum Byron Shire Council is proud to present the Byron Shire Housing Forum 2022 on Friday 17 June, 9.30am to 12pm, and everyone is invited to attend.

The Forum is a free event being held at the Byron Community Theatre in Byron Bay – please get your free ticket online from the venue.

“This isn’t just another talk fest. We all know how bad the situation is with Byron Shire facing one of the most acute shortages of affordable housing in Australia,” Council’s Director Sustainable Environment and Economy, Shannon Burt, said.

“This Forum is about starting with the housing solutions we already

know about and focusing our efforts on how we can make them happen.

“This will be a solutions-focused forum and we would love the community to join us and share their ideas and inspiration around key themes.

“Time is of the essence and collective and urgent action is now required to generate tangible

outcomes,” she said.

“In the absence of large scale federal & state government investment in social & affordable housing, what role is there for the community housing sector, ethical developers, and local government to provide stable, affordable homes that supports the continued diversity of our community?

“What examples and ideas might we look to locally, interstate and abroad to inform our approach to housing our community that is focused, sustainable and affordable? These are some of the themes we will be getting to the bottom of in this forum,” she said.

“We invite everyone in our community

to come along and join this constructive conversation. We will be taking our learnings from the day to industry experts and will report back to the community Burt said.

Regional rail memories of NSW Royal visits To mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Transport for NSW is remembering royal journeys on the rail network throughout regional NSW. Over her 70 years of service, The Queen journeyed to regional NSW several times, including in 1954 and 1970 on transport provided by the NSW Government Railways.

This included a Royal Train and a special bus that travelled on rail tracks.

Chief Executive Officer of NSW TrainLink Pete Allaway said the rail network played an important part in these tours.

“Rail lines and stations in regional NSW played a special role in ensuring the Queen was able to visit many areas of the state and local people could be part of the action,” Mr Allaway said.

“Looking back at these royal regional rail memories of decades ago also reminds us how critical the railway remains today in helping

regional people stay connected.”

Heritage Specialist with Transport, Amy Keighran, said in February 1954, the Queen and Prince Philip made three regional journeys on the Royal Train.

“The Royal Train took the Queen from Sydney to Newcastle on 9 February 1954, then Her Majesty returned from a visit to Wollongong by train from Bulli to Sydney on 11 February and from Bathurst to Sydney on 12 February,” Ms Keighran said.

“They travelled in the Governor General’s carriage, which was ornately decorated with timber, leather

and gold and had been renovated to include air-conditioning.”

For the Bathurst to Sydney trip, a special fabric-covered timetable was produced, featuring the Royal coat of arms and a railway locomotive wheel representing NSWGR. It listed the stations along the route over the Blue Mountains, their height above sea level, distance from Sydney and the time the train travelled through them.

Newspapers in 1954 reported that tens of thousands of people crowded onto station platforms to glimpse the first reigning monarch to visit Australia.

The Royal Train

tours put significant demands on the NSW Government Railways (NSWGR), with ordinary services heavily loaded and special trains put on to transport people, including 150,000 school children, to vantage points along the routes.

During February 1954 there were almost 23 million passenger rail journeys in New South Wales, which was a record for February at the time. By comparison, in February 2019 (pre-COVID), there were more than 32 million passenger rail journeys in NSW For the 1970 Royal tour, special trains conveyed members of the public to and from

Taree and Grafton for the Queen’s visit to Coffs Harbour.

James Dalton, Chairman of the Australian Railway Historical Society said the Queen journeyed the short distance from Coffs Harbour Jetty into town on a rail ‘pay bus’ FP7.

“This was a fourwheeled vehicle that looked like a bus but ran on tracks. It was specially modified for the Queen’s tour, including being fitted out with carpet,” Mr Dalton said.

“For her only train trip on the 1970 tour, there was less fanfare than in 1954. The Queen left Sydney late on 29 April and arrived in Orange the

next morning.

“The Royal Train, this time using the personal carriage of the NSW Rail Commissioner, was codenamed RL. Four pilot trains travelled ahead of it to ensure its safe passage and no other trains or rail operations were allowed on the track during the journey.”

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year is being marked throughout 2022 including a special focus on 2-5 June, with community events and iconic buildings and monuments around Australia illuminated in royal purple to mark the occasion.

The Governor General’s carriage, and one of the locomotives that hauled the Royal Train in 1954, are today at the Transport Heritage NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere.

The carriage forms part of the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences.

Masters Games postponed The popular Lismore Workers Masters Games has been postponed until next year due to the ongoing effects of the 28 February natural disaster and the March flood, as well as the continual poor weather

conditions.

The 12th Lismore Workers Masters Games was to have been held from 23 to 25 September 2022 with participants and spectators coming from across the country.

Lismore City Council General Manager John Walker said the decision to postpone the games was made after consultation with sporting organisations.

“It was a disappointing but necessary decision,”

he said.

“Not only did much of Council infrastructure that supports the Games, such as Oakes Oval and Albert Park, sustain significant damage from the two major floods, but many sporting

organisations have been forced to focus on their own recovery.

“Add to this the ongoing rain which has only eased this week, sporting groups told us that they haven’t had time to train and prepare

for the games. The social and economic impact the event brings to Lismore is significant and I want to assure the community that the Masters Games will return next year, bigger and better.”

Renowned Grafton street artist Kade Valja was involved in creating the artworks on the containers as part of the Out of the Box youth program at Fisher Park.

Police and council work together to manage park Clarence Valley Council is collaborating with Grafton Police and other community stakeholders to manage community facilities at Fisher Park Skate Park, Grafton in order to create a safe and vibrant space.

Two shipping containers retrofitted to provide youth services were installed at the skate park in November 2020 and painted during Clarence Valley Youth Week in April as part of the Out of the Box youth program.

“Council and Police are working

collectively with several government agencies and organisations to facilitate a plan to make the space safe,” Clarence Valley Council Acting General Manager Laura Black said.

“The Out of the Box youth program provides a soft entry point for service providers to have direct access to young people at the coalface of their community.”

However on 24 May Council temporarily removed the two containers for repairs due to malicious damage.

The decision for the

removal was made in consultation with the police, implementing a “safer by design” principle according to Coffs Clarence Chief Inspector Joanne Reid.

“There has been an increase in crime and anti-social behaviour at the skate park over the past three months,” Coffs Clarence Chief Inspector Joanne Reid.

“Part of crime prevention from a police perspective is to make the space safe by not only conducting patrols and enforcements, but also altering the physical

space by a safer by design principle.

“Grafton Police want to work with Clarence Valley Council to find better ways to make the skate park safe for everyone to enjoy, much as we’ve done in other spaces in the Clarence Valley.

“The presence of large groups can intimidate or frighten other youths, and the skate park is a space for all people to use; not just one particular group.

“But it’s not just a police problem or a council problem; it’s a

community problem, and as a community we’ll solve it.”

Since 2021 Council has promoted passive surveillance with the slogan: “If you see something say something” in response to anti-social behaviour.

“We encourage anyone who witnesses anti-social behaviour or malicious damage to report it to the Police,” Ms Black said.

People can report incidents to Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000 or Police Assistance Line on 131 444.

Clarence Valley Youth Hubs is one of the organisations collaborating with Council and utilising the space at Fisher Park, with a breakfast club and afternoon drop-in held every Wednesday.

“The Out of the Box program has been well received and about 100 young people came along during Youth Week,” Clarence Valley Council Community Youth Development Officer Allira Newton said.

$145m to rebuild water infrastructure The NSW Government is investing $145 million to fund the repair and upgrade of critical water and sewerage infrastructure damaged in the natural disaster zones across the Northern Rivers.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said work will include permanent repairs to water and sewerage systems that were

as well as upgrades that will help futureproof this critical infrastructure.

“We are working with the hardest-hit communities of Ballina, Byron, Lismore, Kyogle, Richmond Valley, Tweed Shire, and Clarence Valley, as well as Rous County Council, to repair this critical water infrastructure,” Mr Toole said.

“Heavy rain and

widespread damage to water and sewerage systems in these locations and now we are getting on with the job of bringing this essential infrastructure back to full capacity.”

Minister for Lands and Water Kevin Anderson said that immediately affected communities, teams were assisting councils and water utility

operators to provide safe and clean drinking water.

“Access to clean water is a basic human right. we stepped in to work with councils and water utilities to provide technical advice, deliver temporary repairs and other works to ensure water security for residents,” Mr Anderson said.

The eight councils to

• Lismore City Council – new East Lismore wastewater treatment secure pump stations • Richmond Valley Council – water and sewerage infrastructure repairs, incl. treatment works • Ballina Shire Council – repairs to wastewater treatment plant and pump stations • Tweed Shire Council - water and sewerage

infrastructure repairs • ROUS County Council - water infrastructure repairs • Clarence Valley Council - water and sewerage infrastructure repairs • Byron Shire Council - water and sewerage infrastructure repairs • Kyogle Council water and sewerage infrastructure repairs.

Plan (LEP) is the primary legal planning document for guiding land use and planning decisions made by Ballina Shire Council, and each zone outlined in the plan contains distinct planning objectives

land uses that can be undertaken.

What does this mean for Ballina Shire?

The employment zone changes are generally minor for Ballina Shire and will not

The State’s proposed zones will not be applied to any areas outside of those already zoned.

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS

PRIME7, 7pm

If you’re keen to sow the seed of a love of gardening for the little ones in your life, Melissa King has expert tips. The kids will be on the fruitful path to becoming a mini Jamie Durie or Paul Bangay with Melissa’s three activities; involving learning about seedlings, planting vegetables and understanding where food comes from.

It’s par for the course that there are oodles of segments – including Dr Harry Cooper attending a unique, smalltown dog race – but what stands out tonight is the delicious food. Fast Ed visits an alcohol-free distillery that inspires him to create a triple-stacked chicken burger and Karen Martini (above) shares a wholesome, family-friendly baked fish recipe.

If you enjoy watching a panel of British comedians try to complete a series of apparently pointless tasks, then this is the show for you. Taskmaster Greg Davies (below) sits in judgement as comedians Johnny Vegas, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring, as well as actresses Katherine Parkinson and Daisy May Cooper, go toeto-toe in a series of infuriating challenges. After a prize task about finding the “best thing with holes in it”, they are asked to create portraits of the Taskmaster using only balloons, pegs and clothes, before the live task involves guessing which things are making a noise.

Keep an eye out for Daisy and Richard’s ongoing rivalry, which is set to pop at any moment.

LAW & ORDER: SVU

TEN, 8.40pm

Never far behind the headlines, America’s longest-running crime drama churns out reliably up-todate storylines with a regular pace for Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay, above) and her team to solve.

This episode, titled “Sorry If It Got Weird For You”, focuses on the corporate side of dating apps and the shady shenanigans of founder Jackson Wright (guest star Jon Glaser).

Detective Velasco (Octavio Pisano) then becomes embroiled in his accuser’s problems, leading the SVU crew to defend him as more details emerge. There is nothing here that will convert newcomers to the series, but those attracted to the darker side of human nature may find themselves drawn in.

Power prices pressure farmers

The state’s peak farming body has asked the NSW Government to invest in small scale on-farm renewables to ease cost pressures.

The cost of electricity had nearly tripled in the past decade, according to Reg Kidd from the NSW Farmers Energy Transition Working Group, who said

regional and rural users already paid 25 per cent more than urban users.

“This is a huge cost for country people, but it’s especially felt by those high energy users such as dairy farmers and intensive livestock producers,” Mr Kidd said.

“Many farm businesses

“Without reliable energy supply the fresh product can quickly spoil and result in shortages,” Mr Kidd said.

“By installing renewable energy systems primary

Deadline an opportunity for industry partnership NSW Farmers is encouraging dairy farmers to work with processors to secure the best farmgate deal possible for their milk, with the deadline for processors to publish their supply contracts around the corner.

June 1 marks the third time dairy processors have been required to publish their standard supply agreement

under the Dairy Code of Conduct, which was introduced in January 2020 to improve transparency between farmers and processors.

NSW Farmers Dairy Chair Colin Thompson said dairy farmers were in a positive position, but more needed to be done to strengthen supply chain relationships.

“After a prolonged period of drought and

low retail prices, dairy a change in tide,” Mr Thompson said.

“Reduced supply is driving up the milk price across the state, which is positive for farmers, but we must prices are equitable along the supply chain.

Sustainable relationships are important, and farmers should work

with processors to position their businesses for growth on the back of these prices.”

Mr Thompson said the retail price of dairy products would likely need to be increased to promote sustainability in the dairy supply chain, particularly with skyrocketing input costs and climate challenges.

“For too long, dairy farmers have faced

stagnant retail prices, and NSW is particularly exposed to this because of the high proportion of fresh milk produced here,” he said.

“The unprecedented escalation of input costs and weather extremes is threatening the existence of many coastal farms and the future supply of fresh milk. Much of NSW has experienced a rolling natural disaster

with over three metres months.”

Mr Thompson said

“While we acknowledge everyone is feeling the cost-of-living squeeze at the moment, small increases at the checkout would go a long way for farmers.”

Locals helping to meat butcher demand TAFE NSW is helping to protect a trip to your local butcher in the Northern Rivers by training the next generation of butchers to meet the continuing high demand for meat combined with a retiring workforce.

The Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) reported around a third of independent retail butchers need staff, and employment forecasts indicate the occupation will experience an 11.2 per cent growth by 2026.

TAFE NSW student Nick Forzan is III in Meat Processing (Retail Butchery) and is employed at Smiths Butchery in Casino.

“The course was hugely valuable, the TAFE NSW teachers had real industry experience to pass on as they had all worked in the meat sector themselves.”

“The TAFE NSW teachers gave me a big picture understanding of the future of the industry and it’s that kind of foundational knowledge you need to build a really successful career.”

“Butchery is an essential service and it’s a critical need for society. As we saw in the pandemic, even when other industries are closed down, demand for butchers skyrocketed.”

TAFE NSW Meat and Allied Trades Head Teacher Ben Barrow said as NSW’s leading provider of vocational education and training, TAFE NSW is uniquely positioned to arm apprentice butchers with the hands-on, practical skills they need to develop successful careers.

“Consumers are changing the face of the meat industry with demands on ethically

farmed produce and an expectation of food provenance,” Mr Barrow said.

“TAFE NSW provides apprentice butchers with a range of skills, from the art of breaking down carcass meat, cutting and trimming smaller techniques.

“Our courses also prepare students with job-ready knowledge in providing service to customers on methods of cookery, and the nutritional role of meat.”

The nationally III in Meat Processing (Retail Butchery) is a fully governmentsubsidised JobTrainer course for those that meet eligibility criteria.

Although many growers are still

Chairman and cane grower, Mr Jim Sneesby said: “The increased cane price will be very welcome as our growers not only recover their lost and damaged crops but do so in a time of increasing costs for inputs such as fertilizer and fuel.”

Quality infrastructure the road to success Regional infrastructure has featured prominently in the latest State Infrastructure Strategy, paving the way for record success as the NSW agriculture sector looks to grow, according to the state’s peak agricultural group.

NSW Farmers President James Jackson

said the vast potential of agriculture and regionaleconomies needed to be realised through strategic investment in road, rail and digital connectivity.

“Agriculture and the regions are in a position where they could see the right investment

decisions are made, and this seems to have been recognised in Infrastructure NSW’s recommendations,” Mr Jackson said.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has fasttracked a number of trends, including migration toward regional areas and

the shift to online service delivery, both of which need to be addressed through stronger investment in road, health and telecommunications infrastructure.

“There’s also a need to harness the economic potential of betterconnected supply

chains and accessible domestic and export hubs, particularly off the back of record success for many agricultural commodities.”

Mr Jackson said it was disappointing the strategy included recommendations to presspause on megaprojects including a

Great Western Highway tunnel, as well as several dams.

“The Great Western Highway is the main conduit linking the Central West and Sydney, and its upgrade is heavily tied to harnessing the value-add opportunities in western Sydney,” he said.

Give poultry growers a fair go NSW Farmers will play a key role in developing a new code of conduct to deliver price transparency and fair contracts in the poultry meat market.

NSW Farmers Poultry Committee Chair Peter Wojcicki said growers had been calling for a code of conduct, because processors and supermarkets continued to dominate the supply chain and in turn family farmers were missing out on the “fair go” Australia prided itself on. The lack of competition in the processor sector meant growers had limited bargaining power against the processors with many family farmers being forced from the industry.

“The poultry meat processing space in Australia is alarmingly concentrated, with just two companies responsible for processing 70 per cent of the nation’s chicken,” Mr Wojcicki said.

“Consumers might not be aware of the situation

They need to make huge infrastructure investments to raise birds they do not actually own, and the contracts offer little security.” Mr Wojcicki said.

“We’ve heard stories from growers forced from the industry burdened with huge debt, and for those left growing, lack of choice means growers have little choice but to sign one-sided contracts.”

Sonar used to locate underwater dangers An advanced sonar program has started surveying NSW rivers for hazardous submerged debris across the State following this year’s shoreline clean-up crews coming in behind to remove those debris once located.

The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA)-led program removes dangerous obstacles to navigation and water safety – including giant tree trunks and water tanks – out of our rivers.

EPA Director Arminda Ryan said the Sonar (submerged debris) Clean-up Program was uncovering submerged and dangerous debris washed into the Hawkesbury and other rivers during the recent “By using the latest technology available our aim is to make this recovery as thorough and Ryan said.

The strength of the Sonar Program is its ability to reveal otherwise invisible hazards. Sonar Technology mounted on boats sends out sound waves and measures returning echoes to detect large items on the riverbed.

Based on what has been found on shoreside clean-ups hazards are expected to include items as diverse as chemical drums, farming equipment, large tree

branches and even caravans.

Ms Ryan said the Sonar Program was just one part of a combined NSW Government agency effort with the EPA working closely with Transport for NSW to secure and mark hazardous debris prior to removal.

“Transport for NSW has provided the EPA with 11 priority locations for surveying in the Hawkesbury River.

OceanWatch Australia have provided a further two priority locations.

Transport for NSW will also provide priority locations for surveying on the North Coast,” Ms Ryan said “The program covers a broad area and will see a wide variety of man-made and natural hazardous debris removed from waterways extending from the Hawkesbury River to the Queensland border.”

Ms Ryan said the shoreline clean-up had already removed more than 6800 cubic meters across NSW since the beginning of March, which is more than 340, 8-tonne tip trucks.

Study to help shape egg industry’s future The sustainability framework community survey is embarking research, examining the relationship between the egg industry and the Australian community.

All Australian residents aged 18 years or older are invited to participate.

The community survey covers the impacts and contributions of the egg industry across areas such as the environment, animal welfare, food security, and livelihoods.

Completing the survey provides an opportunity for the community to inform the Australian egg industry’s decision making. Alongside this open invitation for community members to have their say, views from a sample of around 5,000 Australians are collected.

The 2022 community survey is now open.

To participate in the research, go to https:// voconiq.com/eggs The 2022 sustainability framework community survey will once again explore attitudes of Australians toward the Australian egg industry.

It contains a range of questions asking your opinions on a wide variety of topics related to the egg industry. The

results of this survey will again be used to support the implementation of a Sustainability Framework by Australian Eggs for the egg industry, and inform a national conversation about the egg industry in Australia.

The Framework The Australian Egg Industry Sustainability Framework aims to generate more productive engagement with the Australian community and drive continuous improvement within the industry.

Transparency is the cornerstone of building community trust and acceptance as people want access to accurate information to know how their food is produced or products manufactured.

Community expectations are constantly evolving and this extends beyond mainstream consumer purchasing decisions to much broader questions about how industries conduct themselves.

In response to this dynamic, Australian Eggs invited CSIRO to design a comprehensive research program that has been in motion for over three years. The research is intended

broad range of topics, including food security, biosecurity, traceability, animal welfare and environmental impacts.

to provide the egg industry with a better understanding of community attitudes, and communities with a better understanding of the egg industry.

The roles The process is being driven by Australian Eggs and the initial research program was conducted independently by the CSIRO. The research has now been continued by VoconIQ. Once each research cycle is complete, the research is then given to the egg industry to help guide the Sustainability Framework Report.

Community The community is the Australian public.

The process explores community views on egg industry issues through a statistically representative sample of over 5,000 people as well as an ‘open call’ to participate for anyone that is interested.

VoconIQ The research is being conducted by engagement science company Voconiq, spun out of Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO in 2019, and will explore community attitudes towards the egg industry across a

Australian Eggs Australian Eggs is the research and development corporation for the egg industry and it will support VoconIQ by providing information about the industry and making the research outputs publicly available. After community research is completed, Australian Eggs will engage with industry stakeholders to ensure the Sustainability Framework Report has their input.

Egg Industry The egg industry includes egg farming businesses and other businesses along the supply chain such as veterinarians, feed companies and representative bodies.

Australian Eggs commits to transparent reporting so interested parties can understand why and how the egg industry is responding to the research.

The research In 2020, the CSIRO research team built

the Australian Egg Industry Research Report released in 2018 and 2019 to obtain a deeper understanding of community attitudes to the egg industry.

The research was conducted using a survey of Australians through a statistically representative sample of over 5,000 people as well as an ‘open call’ to participate for anyone that is interested.

The goal is to examine industry issues, both positive and negative, from multiple angles to understand the values driving community attitudes.

In 2020, the CSIRO extended the research process in two important ways: and repeated key measures from the 2018 and 2019 surveys that were found to be central in the Australian egg Industry, to allow comparison over time • The survey included new aspects to better understand community attitudes on the priority the research program, as well as current and emerging issues, such as

Australia is laying the groundwork for a third consecutive bumper harvest, with this year’s total planted crop area forecast to reach a record 23.83 million hectares, Rabobank says in its just-released 2022/23 Winter Crop Outlook.

This would be nearly one per cent up on last year’s record planting and 11 per cent above includes a 1.4 per cent lift in wheat and a record canola planting, up 20.9 per cent on last year, albeit at the expense of barley, oats and pulses.

The specialist agribusiness bank says – in a year of global shortages and high commodity prices – the forecast record planting comes as global markets look to Australia to deliver a “hat trick of great grain and oilseed production” at a time when poor production and export constraints in a number of countries are prompting the United Nations to warn that the world is on the brink of a food crisis.

Locally, the bank says, “hopes are on” another large winter crop to allow Australian farmers to secure good margins in the face of high costs for inputs including fertiliser, fuel, freight and agrochemicals.

Across the states, the report says, winter plantings are forecast to be up on last year by 10 per cent in Victoria and eight per cent in

wheat continuing to be the price-setter across the region on a landed-cost basis, due to both a more favourable freight charge than other origins

‘Hoping

for a

hat trick’

Forecast record Australian winter crop planting sees potential for third consecutive bumper harvest Queensland.

While New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia are expected to see small contractions in planted area – of two per cent, one per cent and one per cent respectively.

Production Combined with the favourable seasonal outlook for the year ahead, Rabobank says, the forecast record national winter crop planting – currently underway across the country – should see Australia on track to deliver another aboveaverage grain harvest for this season.

Report co-author, RaboResearch

agricultural analyst Dennis Voznesenski said while the outlook is for another bumper harvest, it was too early in the season to tell if the record planting would deliver another record in production this year.

“At this point in time, until the crop is more progressed and we can see if there are any surprises in store, we have been conservative in our production particular we’re mindful of the slow planting progress in NSW and the corresponding decline in yield potential with late planting, as well as overly-wet growing conditions,” he said.

Based on current

plantings and slightly above-average yield expectations, the bank estimates Australia will be on track to deliver total wheat production of 32.5 million tonnes (down 10 per cent on last year), barley of 11 million tonnes (down 18 per cent) and canola of 5.8 million tonnes (down nine per cent).

Export program outlook This would see Australia with “well above-average export potential again in 2022/23”, the outlook says.

Report co-author, RaboResearch senior commodities analyst Cheryl Kalisch Gordon said a prospective third

consecutive bumper harvest would mean Australia would be “well placed to help support global wheat needs in 2022/23”.

“Excess carryover from 2021/22, together with another above-average harvest and strong global demand, means we expect Australia could export around 26 million tonnes of wheat again in 2022/23, almost 50 per cent above the 10-year average and more than 50 per cent above the said.

Australia is again expected to be able to deliver a “strong export performance into South-East Asia”, she said, with “Australian

origination cost due to abundant local supplies.”

Rabobank says Australia is also forecast to deliver an impressive barley and canola export program in 2022/23, albeit down on last year.

The bank currently sees barley exports of 7.5 million tonnes (down 16 per cent on the previous year) and canola exports at 4.5 million tonnes (down six per cent).

Dr Kalisch Gordon said increased canola planting in Australia this season was at the expense of barley and pulses, with Chinese anti-dumping tariffs that were still in place on Australian barley and lower prices earlier in the year the primary reasons for less barley hectares being planted.

For pulses, lacklustre pricing and high stocks still on farm are driving lower chickpea plantings this year.

For chickpeas and niche grain and pulses, the report says, ongoing issues with the availability, reliability and cost of container freight – which have been further adversely impacted

by China’s ongoing Covid lockdowns – are expected to continue to challenge boxed freight and constrain exports.

Global markets Global stocks of grains and oilseeds are set to remain low and move lower in the coming year, Rabobank says, supporting elevated global prices through 2022/23.

“2022/23 may be the years in which global consumption of grain declines on the previous year – due to the high prices and limited supply,” Mr Voznesenski said.

“But even a decline in consumption won’t stop global stocks of wheat and most coarse grains from falling to their lowest levels since 2015/16.”

Even without the pressure being put on grain markets by the Russia/Ukraine war, which is impacting production and exports out of the Black Sea region, markets would be tight, he said.

“Global stocks remain average outside of the Black Sea, meaning prices will remain above average even if Voznesenski said.

Price outlook The bank expects global wheat prices to continue trading near current levels with Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) wheat to trade around USc 1100 per half of 2023. But it expects prices to be

have peaked, but are expected to remain elevated due to the high cost of production and freight, as well as the sanctions on Russia and Belarus, according to the Rabobank outlook.

Mr Voznesenski said after peaking in midMarch, a decline seen in global urea prices was

extremely volatile in this higher range, as markets react to news of changes in crop prospects and what can ultimately be exported from Ukraine, Russia and India.

Strong demand for feed barley as a substitute for high-priced wheat and corn feed should keep global barley consumption near or above last year’s levels and be supportive of global prices, Rabobank says.

For canola – which sits in the broader edible oil market – prices are also expected to remain strong. This is given the tight global supply of edible oils, elevated fuel prices and good crush margins. Some softening of canola prices, although not substantial, is likely to occur when the northern hemisphere new crop comes on board in Q3 2022, according to the

report.

Local prices for wheat, barley and canola are expected to remain historically strong, Rabobank says, albeit continuing to trade at a discount to global levels.

This is due to a number of factors, Dr Kalisch Gordon said, but primarily because of the large amount of local supply following two consecutive years of record or near-record production, with a third one “on the cards”.

“Australia has a very large exportable surplus with, in particular, a large volume of unsold wheat, especially on the east coast. And this will continue to weigh on local prices unless currently favourable seasonal conditions ‘turn south’,” she said.

For wheat, Dr Kalisch Gordon said, the bank expects basis (the difference between local

and global prices) to remain negative over the balance of 2022 and into 2023 – driven by the substantial carryover from last year along with the expected large 2022/23 Australian crop, high freight costs and a discount as a result of a high-risk environment to hold grain for bulk handlers.

Domestically, the bank expects Australian premium white (APW) wheat track prices to trade at an average above AUD400 a tonne over the balance of the year.

Local feed barley prices are forecast to trade between AUD 415 and AUD 354 a tonne over the next 12 months, while local canola prices are forecast to range from AUD 938 to AUD 805 a tonne over the course of 2022/23.

Dr Kalisch Gordon said if Australia has another record harvest, “we

could see a situation of full bulk handler sites, full on-farm storage and large volumes of grain in silo bags on farm awaiting shipping slots. weigh on prices, especially if conditions are very wet and farmers need to move grain off farm”.

An on-the-ground survey by the bank showed that nationally, farmers have increased permanent on-farm storage by more than 23 per cent since 2020 and are expected to expand this by another 15 to 20 per cent over the next 12 months, which could help alleviate some of the pressure on prices at harvest from a predicted third consecutive large crop.

Crop inputs When it comes to farm inputs, prices for most are believed to

local Australian markets in late July/early August, though prices would remain volatile.

“Prices for potash are believed to have peaked and local potash prices should be helped by an expected rise in the Australian dollar by the end of the year, though marginally,” he said. “Phosphate prices may also have peaked, though will remain above average in 2022, depending on China’s return to the export market.”

Mr Voznesenski said the bank’s survey had indicated many farmers were already well prepared when it comes to farm inputs, with a large amount of their needs already on farm.

This was shown to be particularly the case in Western Australia, where farmers reported they had almost 80 per cent of their fertiliser and ag chemical requirements already on farm and in South Australia, where farmers already had close to 80 per cent of their fertiliser needs and 70 per cent of ag chemicals.

Impacts of China’s Covid lockdowns on Aust agriculture dairy products in China produced from imported Oceania whole milk powder (WMP) are more expensive than

Current strict lockdowns in many major cities in China – as the country tries to eradicate the spread of COVID – are not only affecting its local citizens, but

produced dairy for the he said.

impacts on trading partners, including Australia, according to agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank.

Speaking in a podcast, What’s the Impact of China’s Lockdown Wave?, RaboResearch general manager for Australia and New Zealand Stefan Vogel said, in particular, there are the lockdowns that are set to have increasing Australian agribusiness – disruptions to freight logistics, Chinese corn plantings, dairy demand and hog pricing.

Freight logistics global container logistics situation is becoming more complicated due to massive delays around the Shanghai port,” Mr Vogel said.

“The dry container index, which tracks average prices paid for the transport of dry bulk materials

across more than 20 international routes, through 2021 as a result of COVID lockdowns in different parts of the world. While the index has since declined and is down 16 per cent since early March and 25 per cent down from the September 2021 highs, it looks likely that the ongoing COVID lockdowns in China will add to continued container logistics issues and keep container freight well above historic levels for 2022 and also likely to remain elevated well into 2023.”

Corn plantings Mr Vogel said disruptions to corn plantings in China – the

corn producer and also the world’s primary corn importer – were also raising more concerns in an already grains markets.

“Chinese corn planting faces delays in two key provinces as some farmers are stuck in major cities and are unable to access their lockdowns,” he said “We understand the lockdowns have created delays in planting this important feed crop in some parts of Jilin and Liaoning provinces, and these two provinces account combined for 20 per cent of China’s corn acreage.

“The delay in planting increases the risk of frost damage later in the season, but at this point

it is too early to say what the impact will be on yields. It will depend on the weather through the season.”

Mr Vogel acknowledged though that the delays in planting Chinese corn –and China’s feed grain import needs more generally – were not the biggest driver of current global grain prices.

Rather, world Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn prices had hit a this year and remain above USD 8/bu, driven primarily by concerns about the early arrival of the dry season in Brazil rainfall forecast for the next three months which could reduce Brazilian corn yields.

In addition, cool and

wet conditions for corn planting in the US and an expected reduction of well over 50 per cent in Ukrainian corn production (as well as export uncertainty from Ukraine) in 2022 were also putting upward pressure on global grain prices, he said.

Dairy demand The spread of the Omicron variant and China’s “dynamic were also bringing strong headwinds to consumption in the country’s food service sector, Mr Vogel said.

And this was playing out in reduced dairy demand.

“Dairy demand in food service is slowing in China while, according to our calculations,

breaking 2021 in milk powder imports by China, the demand uncertainty from COVID restrictions is likely to dampen the ‘dragon’s’ import appetite going forward.”

Mr Vogel said Oceania’s record dairy prices may also make Australian (and New Zealand) exports to be competitive into China.

Hog pricing collapse In addition, China’s COVID restrictions had resulted in a big drop in food service sales of meat products, as well as supply chain disruptions, which had impacted hog production and prices, Mr Vogel said.

“Chinese hog producers have liquidated herds to avoid further losses, imposing further downward pressure on Chinese pork prices which can also impact China’s feed grain import needs,” he said.

Investors must return to fundamentals Property investors must shun speculative bets and focus on fundamentals as bond yields have increased, according to Pete Wargent, co-founder of marketplace for buyer’s agents, BuyersBuyers.

Mr Wargent said, at discounting the future, and the drop in Australia’s bond yields through 2018 and 2019 was portentous, with the 10-year government bond yield falling to well under 1 per cent through the worst of the pandemic lockdowns”. monetary stimulus tipped in around the world was successful at averting a deep global recession, but also had the impact of driving speculation across many “That’s changing now.

Although yields have now begun to ease a little lately, Australians can achieve a riskfree return of 3¼ per cent from a 10-year government bond, and therefore there will be correspondingly less need for highly speculative approaches” Mr Wargent said.

“In the U.S. many of the high-growth

tech stocks have lost more than half of their value this year, and cryptocurrency markets have also experienced considerably less fervour.”

“The world remains in

back up to at least 350,000 per annum, there will be strong opportunities to generate excellent investment outcomes over the coming decade”.

“Normally, we don’t

wouldn’t like to say with

in housing prices when unemployment falls and

happen to interest rates and bond yields from here, but in the second pressures from rising rents and energy prices will see the cash rate target increasing in Australia” Mr Wargent said.

Focus on fundamentals BuyersBuyers CEO Doron Peleg said that property investors should take a 10-year view, take stock of the fundamentals of the housing market, and take the opportunity to strike as more choice and listings come on to the market.

Mr Peleg said, “of course, in the short term, there is always going to be some uncertainty. But with the unemployment rate at the lowest level in nearly 50 years and likely to fall further, national rental vacancy rates at extremely low levels of around 1 per cent, and population growth like to power

the housing market is as undersupplied as it is now.”

“While sentiment may be cooled initially by hikes in the cash rate, it’s unlikely that we will see many forced property sales when the labour market is in such rude health.

For those with strong negotiation skills there will be opportunities to negotiate an excellent deal, particularly in the premium end of the market” Mr Peleg said.

Upper quartile price declines BuyersBuyers cofounder Pete Wargent said that there had already been some price declines as sentiment has cooled, particularly in the upper price quartile of the housing market.

Mr Wargent said, “over the past few months, prices have eased in the most expensive quartile of the market, largely

CLARENCE COAST CONSTRUCTIONS 6643 2428

accounted for by properties in Sydney and Melbourne.”

“Properties which sell via auction campaigns tend to be repriced more quickly as they sell under the hammer, and higher risk-free returns tend to imply that the higher-priced and loweryielding assets will see declines. Speculative and the more illiquid assets can also be hit by higher bond yields”.

“In many of the lowerpriced and regional markets, we haven’t seen any price declines at this point, with stock listings remaining relatively tight” Mr Wargent said.

“The residential construction sector is struggling with capacity constraints and delays and is feeling the higher land, materials, and labour prices.

But, overall, property investors should be focussing on the landlocked ‘missing middle’ of the market, where supply will struggle to keep pace with demand over the next decade and where housing rents are rising by 10 to 20 per cent this year alone” Mr Wargent said.

Culture, country and cuisine

For more than 60,000 years, native plants have been used as both food and medicines by Indigenous Australians.

For instance, the Kakadu plum, which grows in northern Australia, has the highest vitamin C content of any fruit in the world, while the lemon myrtle herb is rich in calcium, and endemic wattleseed is exceptionally high in protein, iron and zinc.

To taste and learn about this incredible bush tucker, Mandoon Estate outside of Perth offers a unique opportunity to listen to the stories of this area and learn about local Indigenous

food and culture from Noongar Elder, Dale Tilbrook.

For an interactive experience, Kuku Yalanji brothers Linc and Brandon Walker lead bush tucker-focused tours in Tropical North Queensland, north of Cairns, through their company Kuku Yalanji Cultural Habitat Tours.

Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, the Walker brothers teach you about traditional foods and hunting techniques, helping you gain a deeper understanding of the environment and sacred sites.

Also in Tropical North

Queensland, Walkabout Cultural Adventures host Kuku-Yalanji man Juan Walker takes visitors on epic adventures in the Mossman-Daintree and Cape Tribulation regions.

2022 FORD EVEREST SUV

Ford has updated the Everest for 2022 with further improvements to safety and comfort.

The modern interior design and inclusion of the SYNC 4A enabled 10.1-inch and 12-inch centre screens along with the fully digital instrument cluster. The addition of helpful features like a reach and height-adjustable steering wheel and improvements to SYNC will make living with the 2022 Everest a more enjoyable and stress-free experience.

Ford Everest will feature two different engines (depending on the model). In a first for the series, the 2022 Everest will feature a 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine with 184kW of power and 600Nm of torque. That’s plenty of grunt and the Everest would make an excellent vehicle for towing.

Producing 154kW and 500Nm, the 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo Diesel provide balance of pulling power and fuel economy.

Both engines will drive through Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission.

Everest is offered with two drivetrain options - 4x2 RWD is available on Ambiente and Trend. The 4x4 variants across the range feature an advanced full-time four-wheel drive system that uses an electronically controlled on-demand two-speed electromechanical transfer case with selectable drive modes.

Everest’s e-Shifter has optimised performance for different surfaces, road conditions and vehicle usage. !"#$%&'(!%) (*+"(,!&!"#$%&'(!%) Normal: Designed for comfort, fuel efficiency and drivability Eco: Maximises fuel economy by delivering progressive power and early gear shifts, together with more economical cruise control tuning and tailored climate control strategies

KIA SORENTO HYBRID GT-LINE Kia Australia has confirmed the Hybrid GT-Line FWD and AWD has joined its Sorento range. This makes it the only vehicle available in Australia to offer naturally aspirated petrol, diesel, HEV and PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid).

“Sorento already provided one of the most versatile, practical and spacious large SUVs on the market and now in an industry first, it also offers Australian buyers the most diverse powertrain lineup to choose from within a model range,” said Kia’s Chief Operating Officer, Damien Meredith.

“The addition of PHEV and

HEV options to the popular Sorento range is another example of Kia’s progress in vehicle electrification. Along with the recently launched and award winning EV6, and the next-generation Niro range of electric vehicles arriving in the very near future, Kia Australia is offering a variety of choices in its contribution to a greener future.”

The Sorento Parallel Hybrid System comprises a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine producing 132kW of power and torque 265N. An electric motor producing 44kW and 264Nm of torque is mounted

between the petrol engine and the six-speed automatic transmission.

Energy storage is managed by a high voltage 1kWh Lithium-Ion polymer battery located under the vehicle floor.

Official combined fuel consumption is 5.3L/100km in the front-wheel drive model and 5.8L/100km in the 4WD. Kia Sorento hybrid is sold in GT-line specification. It has a customisable 12.3-inch Driver Digital Cluster providing the status of the hybrid charging system.

The Blind-spot View Monitor uses the side cameras so that

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Lost in space A wise old comedian, Confucius maybe, once said “You, can’t have everything.

Where would you put it?”

Buying a Bunnings store would be a good start, or so I thought.

Over the years I have bought pretty much one of everything from various sections, and one of everything from the screws, nuts and bolts aisle, and having used only one or two of each packet of a dozen or more, kept the others for future tasks.

Evidently I don’t give myself enough tasks - and Ms L is intelligent enough not to give me any, but that’s a column for another day – as no matter the tasks over the past decades, and collecting Bunnings leftovers, I still never have the right stuff for the next.

Take the latest handyman endeavour, wall. Simple enough, but before we launch into that, how come a samll piece of moulded plastic that itself looks

Pindarie Barossa Valley Black Hinge Reserve Shiraz 2016, $78 (current vintage 2017).

I feel special having seen the black hinge after which this is named. It’s just a hinge, black, quite impressive as hinges go.

But you wouldn’t get one at Bunnings. Same with the wine itself, pretty impressive as shiraz goes, 15%, and you can’t get it at Bunnings...I think. 9.5/10.

Dream Bird (Margaret River) Pipsqueak Sparkling Chenin 2019, $?? (Available through Naked Wines).

like a throw-away piece of packaging, costs more than a thumb drive with microscopic engineering and more power and complexity than was on all the Apollo lunar modules combined and can store 64 gigabits of vital information, and deliver it anywhere in the world in microseconds?

Anyway, I didn’t buy screws for the hose holder because I had a 64GB box of them at home in the shed, two of which would surely suit.

Nuh.

that was okay, I had a Eureka moment… they didn’t need to match!

Who cares if one was a 25mm, 6M, 18mm 3/8ths round Philips head? And no need for a new drill bit because I had bought every imaginable size on previous Bunnings visits.

Where could they have possibly

You feel like you’re drinking a rare treasure with this, possibly the only sparkling chenin in the country, maybe the world? Certainly the only one called Pipsqueak.

It feels lighter than its 13 percent and quite frivolous but be careful who you offer it to lest they be offended. 9.2/10.

Brown Brothers Milawa Prosecco Premium Brut Single Vineyard NV $27.

This has got a bit more oomph and character than your average prosecco and while it is not Champagne, it is a perfectly palatable and

proper (and cheaper) alternative. 9.3/10.

Brown Brothers Milawa Prosecco (sparkling) Rosé, NV $20.

There’s a lot more gone into this wine than meets the eye, or the palate.

Prosecco is white, but the Brothers Brown cleverly added a dash of Cienna, a cross between the Spanish variety Sumoll and Cabernet Sauvignon, to pink it up. 9.2/10.

Moppity Vineyards (Young/Hilltops) Lock and Key Pinot Noir 2019, $27.

We tend to approach

disappeared to over the years?

Anyway, the hose-rack is only a teensy bit crooked.

It was only as I was putting the tools away that I found an old hose rack, exactly the same as the one just installed, behind the shed door and began to ponder how it was that I had no idea what was in my shed, yet know exactly which wines are in my cellar and fridge and which one I was going to open right now.

pinot with some trepidation, there’s not that many that make you think “I want more of that”. This is a proper, characterful, red wine for the grape. 9.3/10.

(Moppity) Coppabella of Tumbarumba Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2021, $27.

Astute readers will know I am no fan of the gris, but every now and then one must relent and bite thy tongue and let one roll over it with contrition. 9.4/10.

Australian Made week The state’s peak business organisation, Business NSW, believes this week’s ‘Australian Made’ week is a great opportunity to showcase the outstanding local manufacturing taking place across Australia, but particularly here in Northern Rivers NSW. “We all experienced the importance of accessing local products and services during the pandemic and we are more aware than ever in the part we can play in contributing to a vibrant economy when we support local businesses, and that extends to supporting products that are made in Australia and in our region,” said Business NSW Regional Manager Jane Laverty. of person, and like many the famous ‘Australian Made’ logo when out shopping, Mrs Laverty said “Research last year

opportunities are there for local manufacturers to make the most of the sentiments of Australian consumers.

“Australian manufacturers are being encouraged to take to social media to promote their brands under the Australian Made

hashtag, while many businesses are going to be offering discounts on Australian Made products next week.

“Consumers are also vitally interested in the origins of some of their favourite brands, so now is a great time for Australian businesses

to talk about their company’s history and how some of their popular products came into being.

“Advanced manufacturing is such a vital cog in the NSW economy, with latest figures indicating there’s more than

27,000 manufacturing businesses across the state, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of jobs reliant on the sector remaining strong.

“Australian Made week also offers the new Albanese Government a perfect opportunity to rethink the approach to skilled migration, as its vital that manufacturing is able to bring in the expertise needed to keep pace with emerging trends across the globe.

“The message is clear – for businesses, be proud and show off your Australian Made certification, and for shoppers, make sure you take a second to look for that logo before making your purchases to help support local businesses,” Mrs Laverty said.

Aries Mar21 21 - Apr ARIES MAR - APR 19 20 You use your abundant energy in a domineering manner. You’ll discover that such a wilful waste of physical and emotional energy is not the answer to everything. Instead, you have to keep your temper in control and if that doesn’t work out, use your energy to motivate others. At times all this can be exhausting. If you do any exercise, and do not want to end up on the injury list, listen to the signals your body is giving you and do not place yourself under any undue stress. Your hyper-energy level is particularly noticeable. You’re ready to tackle some of the tensions that have built up over time between you.

Be careful that you don’t overwhelm your lover. Not everyone can keep up or cope with such a passionate approach! The same applies if you’re single and looking for a relationship. Don’t rush; instead wait for the things to come to you.

TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20 You inspire others with your ideas and plans, your cool, calm and collected approach wins people over and they have little reason to refuse the advances or suggestions you make. Proposals you put forward at work are also met with a

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 Fully in command of all aspects of your life, you’re able to quantify how much effort is needed to complete various tasks. Relaxed and with a the hardest tasks successfully. Others seek your advice and opinion on matters that concern them and are grateful for the competent way they receive assistance. Any approach you make is likely to be welcomed and others notice how engaging you are, if single you’re likely to enjoy a romantic involvement.

Lady luck is on your side. You’re able to openly deal with outstanding issues and sensitively contribute towards making your relationship more easy-going and pleasant; enhancing the happiness you share.

Singles shouldn’t be surprised about attracting growing interest as well; you’re able to bewitch anyone you meet. Get out and bask in the admiration of others a bit.

VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 22 Think big and channel your energy productively and see how much you can achieve in a short space of time. Be sure to avoid protracted discussions that lead you to become frustrated and angry with those who appear to be placing obstacles in your way. Practicing some self-

to deal with, are willing to listen. Take this opportunity to develop new strategies you can implement in future, that provide you with a foundation to overcome any tough times that may possible lie ahead of you. You’re perfectly equipped for your current relationship or

can lead you to take on far more than you realistically handle and your rather careless approach needs to be harnessed in a more practical and thought out way to

and full of energy and able to cope with almost any situation concerning your love life. Your partner sees you’re lots of fun. Remain true to yourself and don’t be arrogant! As easy as it’s for you to impress someone, they can just as easily become tired of you!

with your partner it seems you’re ready to take every opportunity to argue with them. For the person that loves you, your conduct is a real turn off. You should try, by any conceivable means, to control your anger and be more open to a possible compromise. Otherwise it’s likely that your relationship could be seriously at risk.

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 20

Gemini May 22 - June 23 helps you to establish important ties individuals. What you have to say endears others to your way of thinking and encourages them to support you in your endeavors.

All who have the pleasure of meeting discover you are stimulating company.

If single you’re up for new romance or if you are in a relationship you’ll be ready for some enjoyable times with your lover. Don’t hesitate to try out things that you’ve always wanted to try! If possible spend a weekend in a nice hotel or if you can’t do that use your imagination - if your relationship is special to you, make some stimulating plans and put them into action.

CANCER JUN 21 - JULY 22

Cancer Jun 24 - Jul 22 You face a number of challenges, and feel as if you have to prove yourself all the time. This is quite exhausting and unnerving, which tends to put you on edge. Make sure you keep your temper and avoid unnecessarily showing your displeasure towards those you are supposed to care about most. Practice more self-restraint and be more careful about how you treat others. Treat yourself to a calm and relaxing break, use the time to readjust plans and coordinate them with your partner and your family. Concentrate on what is really important, namely your lover or if single - someone you desire! Do not to bring relaxation and pleasure by snuggling up together or giving each other a comforting massage. Tensions can easily be resolved by lovemaking! Be prepared to make the extra effort when you know it’s needed.

LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 22

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23 Regardless of how you feel, restrict any spontaneous emotional outbursts to a minimum. Prone to impulsive behavior, you are likely to provoke others into making a stand against you, which is to of outlet, go running or cycling, or alternatively just rest in a stress free environment way from the people who may antagonize you. Once you get distracted, it’s much easier to act cool and in control. In matters of the heart you’re not in the least bit shy. This week you’ll want to put your seduction skills to good use.

But unfortunately from the outset, you’re far too direct and forget about being playful and open to whatever possibility arises. Your relationship also appears to be under some pressure; you seem to be looking for confrontations over the slightest thing.

SCORPIO OCT 23 - NOV 21

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 20 Make a point of conserving your energy. You’re unnecessarily prone to squander any reserves you possess with stubborn and bad tempered behavior and get yourself worked about nothing.

Pause to think and reconsider what’s really important to you and what is not! It’s possible that deliberate confrontation at work or in your private life is important. You discover that sometimes taking a step back is necessary to further advance your point of consideration. You feel rather passionate; a quickie is certainly exciting, but not recommended all the time. If you’re able to slightly curb your enthusiasm, the thrill of anticipation makes it worthwhile; give your partner pleasure from sustained love making as well. If single, you need to relax; control your lust and passion.

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 You’re in a fortunate position and able to exploit your full potential.

You need to pay attention to how your conduct impacts on others. enthusiasm rather intrusive but you’re unlikely to pay too much attention to their wishes as you forge ahead with your own ideas. Your new-found assertiveness attracts some potential love interest and enhances existing relationships or may ultimately lead you to look elsewhere. You have a blissful time with your lover and experience wonderfully idyllic moments.

You’re getting a lot of positive feedback from those that you care about most; you’re friendly and relaxed manner is valued by everyone, which helps you strengthen your existing relationships or revive long standing acquaintances; you’ve been considering, especially romantic ones.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19 Although you feel stronger than usual, and easily able to confront any issues you are faced with, you feel on edge as several people challenge you and make various requests. It is advisable that you show restraint if you get involved in an argument, and don’t give in to your ability to assert yourself but aim for compromise. Otherwise you may be forced to either retreat or make enemies.

Above al, it’s important not to become too entrenched and stubborn as this can have an adverse effect on you and the people around you. If you’re encountering problems in your relationship, you’re probably the one to blame. As long as you keep trying your partner’s patience, you won’t get the peace and harmony you so want. Convince them with a compelling argument, rather than using the brute-force. If you take the middle way of compromise, much of the problem will dissolve into the ether and be forgotten.

AQUARIUS jan 20 - feb 18

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19

You’re careful and show persistence when dealing with problems. Your increased vitality and improved selfeveryone you meet. You’re able to complete any new tasks either alone or as part of a team.

You should spend as much time as you can with your lover, the person you care about most. If you’re living alone, you’ve a great chance to change this now. Simply be a little courageous!

PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 21

Assert yourself and others follow your lead. You don’t have to be too concerned about getting your own way, the stance you take is overwhelmingly convincing with regard to most matters you have to deal with.

BIVIANO AND SHELFORD SHARE NSW TITLE SPOILS Photo: Courtesy of Butcher Photography

When it came to the at Hessions Auto Parts Grafton Speedway, there were plenty of big battles – and that was just with the threatening wet weather. However, when it came to the racing action on the track, it was Lismore’s Jordan Biviano and Queenslander Mick Shelford who came away with NSW Title glory.

Leading up the last there was quite a lot of wet weather that affected the Grafton Speedway facility, but the promotion team, which were helped along by the wonderful support of volunteers and sponsors, didn’t let it deter them and they pushed ahead.

Despite the wet weather interrupting the race meeting at one stage for an hour, they pushed on and were able to get the

race meeting completed.

Although the wet weather affected the track, it certainly didn’t stop the competitors from putting on a show and full credit must go to them for playing their part in getting the race meeting in.

The headlining acts were the NSW Titles for Production Sedans and it resulted in the wins going to Biviano and Shelford respectively.

In the NSW Title for Production Sedans, Biviano, who had started from pole position for the feature race, was amongst the front runners for the entire 30-lap distance. Biviano chased after pole sitter and long-time leader Michael Mason and took control of the lead on lap 17, and from there, he was never headed and scored the win.

Joining Biviano on the podium was Mason in second and current Queensland Champion Daniel Henshaw in by defending NSW Champion Joel Berkeley, who was guest driving for the Lester Motorsport team, and Dakota Laverty.

As the current Queensland Champion, Shelford headed into Sedan Title as one of the favourites. Shelford, the last running of the NSW Title, didn’t let the pressure of being amongst the favourites get to him. In what was a hard-fought featurerace battle, Shelford was able to stay out of harm’s way and moved into the lead on lap 23, when he took the lead away from front-row

starter and leader Shane MacDonald after he had made a driver error and collected the wall. Once out in front, he went on to greet the chequered Shelford was fellow Queenslanders Shannon Blackburn in second and Shane MacDonald aboard his damage car in third.

To say that the NSW Title deciding feature race was a challenging one would be quite the understatement, and it saw several the favourites, including Kye Walters, Max Clarke (suspension damage), pole sitter and long-time leader Darran Lester (mechanical woes) and Nathan MacDonald (car damage), fall to the wayside in their attempts to capture the NSW Title honours.

Rebels unleash brilliance FROM BACK PAGE Not far behind McGrady was electric fullback Luke French who was superb at the back in both attack and defence. The home side held a slender 18-10 lead at the break however, the visitors kept within reach through their astute kicking game, turning the Rebels defence around through deft grubber kicks which

resulted in three of their four tries.

The Rebels stretched their advantage to 32-14 midway through the second half with their forwards paving the way allowing their outside backs to run rampant. The Roosters continued to cough up the ball and proved their own worst enemy with missed tackles and silly penalties.

It was a gallant effort

by the Rebels who had to back up after hosting the Woolgoolga Seahorses on Thursday night. coach Ronald Gordon, although unhappy with their narrow loss to the Seahorses, acknowledged his side the mid-week encounter.

“We knew we had to back up from Thursday’s game and

to be honest, I thought it was a blessing in disguise,” Gordon said after the match.

“After all the washout games we needed some game time and I think it helped us today.”

Gordon admitted having star centre Thomas McGrady back on deck was a huge plus for his side and added the signing of French was another bonus.

“Thomas and Nick

(McGrady) were both good for us today and it’s great to have Thomas back after he injured his hamstring in round one against the Ghosts,” Gordon said.

“If our forwards do their job there is always plenty of points on offer for those guys out wide. Luke has been a revelation this season, we had no idea he was a fullback, but he has grabbed his chance with

both hands.”

The Rebels will no doubt be thankful for the long weekend bye but according to Gordon, another midweek game could be on the cards.

“We have the long weekend off but I’m pretty sure we are set down to play Orara next week before we take on the Ghosts the following Sunday in the local derby,” he said.

GOLD COAST CHAMPS

After a slow start, the South Grafton Rebels unleashed their attacking brilliance in the second half to record a much-needed 44-20 victory over the Nambucca Roosters at McKittrick Park on Sunday.

The Rebels ran in nine tries to four with centre Thomas McGrady scoring a hattrick.

McGrady was up to his eye-balls in everything dangerous with his powerhouse running and “don’t argue” fend leaving a trail of opposition defenders every time he touched the ball.
