Doctor guilty of misconduct TIM HOWARD A doctor at a Grafton health clinic began an inappropriate relationship with a mentally ill patient, including plying him with liquor and marijuana and asking him to sign prescription forms not meant for him.

The NSW Health Care Complaints Commission took Dr Dheyaa Khadim Jouda, 48, before the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal on April 20.

The commission alleged that between February 9, 2017 and June 7, 2019 while working at the Grafton GP Super Clinic, Dr Jouda breached professional boundaries with a patient, by exchanging calls and text messages, inviting the patient to his home for dinner, consuming alcohol and marijuana with the patient at the patient’s home and

loaning the patient money.

It was also alleged that, Dr Jouda engaged in improper or unethical conduct by: • asking the patient if he could use his name to complete a prescription not meant for him; • falsely documenting a prescription; • falsely documenting a medical consultation with the patient; and, • making a false representation to the commission during the investigation of the matter.

On May 31, the Tribunal found the complaint proven.

The Tribunal found that Dr Jouda was guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct and professional misconduct.

The Tribunal allowed the hearing to proceed without Dr Jouda being in the country at the time. It was happy he was adequately represented.

In the background

facts to the case the Tribunal heard Dr Jouda first met the man known only as Patient A on October 9, 2017.

Patient A had been diagnosed with schizophrenia prior to that consultation.

He told Dr Jouda he had been “taking Olanzapine or other relevant medication for my schizophrenia”.

He said that across a number of consultations Dr Jouda said they should get together for “a drink somewhere”.

Patient A said went along with the suggestion to be “agreeable” and said he felt sorry for Dr Jouda, because he was from a foreign country (Afghanistan) and had few friends in Australia.

The doctor also acquired Patient A’s phone number and contacted him via text messages several times a week. He said he trusted the doctor as an authority figure and did not see harm in

him having his phone number.

At times the text messaging from the doctor to Patient A was very frequent, with evidence on March 11 2018 he sent 33 messages and on March 13, he sent 49 messages.

A medical expert, Dr Mullins, whose evidence to the Tribunal was not contested, said records showed there was no medical need for the frequency of the messaging.

He said, although the content of the messages was not available, the frequency allied to the power imbalance of the doctor/patient relationship had the potential to be harmful to the patient.

Patient A said he had dinners and drank expensive scotch whisky at the doctor’s home on a number of occasions.

Dr Jouda also discussed his sexuality and told Patient A he was gay.

Some time in 2018 the doctor asked Patient A if he smoked marijuana and when he said yes, supplied some and the pair smoked two joints.

In his statement Patient A said: “I trusted that as my doctor he would not harm me”.

In 2019, during a consultation, Dr Jouda presented Patient A with a blank prescription and asked him to sign it.

Patient A gave evidence there were other prescriptions he signed where he was not at the places at the times written on the prescription forms.

Dr Mullins gave evidence that the drugs on the prescription forms were anti-HIV drugs, which would never be prescribed for Patient A’s conditions.

Dr Jouda told the Tribunal he felt remorse for the way he had abused his relationship with Patient A and offered this as a reason for his behaviour.

“The reason why I

needed this medicine then is that I had relations with another person, and there is no sexual health clinic in Grafton which could prescribe in a confidential way. I did not feel I could ask any other local doctor. It seemed the easiest way to obtain the medication privately, and I knew it was wrong, that is why when I moved to Brisbane, I started seeing a sexual health doctor for regular check ups and prophylactic treatment. I should always have done this but I did not and I do not have any excuse for using my patient in that way and I am sorry and apologise to him.”

The Tribunal found five of six complaints made against Dr Jouda proved. A stage 2 hearing where protective orders will be made has been order at a date to be appointed by the registrar.

Sluggish DA system being overhauled LARA LEAHY Tweed Shire Council has just completed a review on how to tackle the time frame for development applications to be processed in their region.

Prior to Covid, Council was receiving between 800 and 1000 DAs a year and were working on 200 or 250 at any given time. The turnaround for the DAs was well below state average at 60 or 70 days, only 40 days for a single dwelling.

Letters TV Guide Rural Real Estate Entertainment

Since this time, however, there has been a succession of stimulants in the building industry.

Delays in processing this surge of applications was exacerbated by interruptions to the work force over the period of Covid lockdowns, and changes in the application process via the State Planning Portal administration council.

Planning policy changes and additions require additional training tying up staff resources. These changes led to a higher rate of DA refusal, which led to appeals, further draining DA application resources.

This has resulted in a blow out in DA processing time frames.

The average time is currently 126 days, 70 for single homes.

There are currently 440 undetermined DAs in 48 50 52 55 56

One-of-a-kind observatory to be built at Mallanganee The Mallanganee lookout will be transformed into unique observatory that will showcase the beauty of the landscape as well as the awe-inspiring night sky thanks to a $2.067 million Regional Tourism Activation Fund grant from the State Government.

Kyogle Council also will contribute $690,000 to the project which will see an observatory inspired by an armillary sphere constructed off the northern end of the current lookout site on the top of the Richmond Range.

It will be built out of metal and concrete and will be semienclosed, providing the perfect vantage to enjoy spectacular

views across the Richmond Ranges to the Border Ranges and Wollumbin during the day and the breathtaking celestial views overhead at night.

And with the observatory lying on the precise latitude where the centre of the Milky Way crosses directly overhead every day, it is expected to generate plenty of interest from tourists around the globe.

The project will also include the construction of new public toilets and carpark on the site, upgrades to the access road from the Bruxner Highway, development of a walking track through the Mallanganee National

Park and landscaping.

Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Kylie Thomas said the concept plan for the observatory was developed after Council and the community identified the need to upgrade the lookout during work on a Plan of Management for the site.

“The observatory’s incredible design will allow people to enjoy the site’s astonishing views both day and night,” she said.

“As well as attracting visitors to the area, it’s hoped that it will generate economic development and possibly inspire new events and activities.

This is an

wonderful project.”

The observatory is expected to welcome its first visitors by the end of 2023. In the meantime, further work will take

incredible opportunity to create something that is unique to Mallanganee and I would like to thank the State Government for working with Council on this

place to refine the concept and develop the attraction – including a proposed augmented reality installation.

Further community consultation will be carried out at all key stages of the project.

Striking unionists rejects ‘insulting’ pay offer TIM HOWARD Clarence Valley public service union member Michael Smart felt so strongly about the NSW Governments “insulting pay offer” he addressed a group of around 120 unionists who gathered in Grafton as part of a state-wide strike.

The members of the Public Service Association came around the Northern Rivers for a day of action last Wednesday.

The day began with a rally outside the office of the Member for Clarence, Chris Gulaptis, during which Mr Smart and a number of other PSA members addressed the rally about their concerns.

“I am proud to be a public servant,” Mr Smart said. “During the pandemic a lot of us were doing the jobs no-one wanted to do.

“We fronted up during fires, floods and during the pandemic and kept everything going and then to be offered 3% when inflation is running at 5.1% is insulting.

“Effectively Mr Perrottet (NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet) is handing us a pay cut.”

Mr Smart said there were other unwelcome elements in the offer, such as including superannuation as a part of the rise.

“The offer left us with

The government offer lifts the public sector pay cap to 3% with a promise of a further 0.05% rise if productivity rises.

The government will also give health care workers an additional $3000 one off payment in recognition for their work during the pandemic.

Mr Smart said that while he thought health workers deserved the recognition, it was a divisive move because many public servants in other sectors also deserved similar recognition.

“Giving one section

PH: 6628 3952

of the public service a $3000 bonus is a typical tactic to divide the unity of the public sector unions,” he said.

After Mr Smart broke the ice several more people from the rally came forward to air their concerns.

The PSA North Coast Regional Organiser Rebecca Reilly was delighted with the turnout.

“Members came to Grafton from the North Coast and down south to let the government know they are unhappy with a pay offer that does not even keep pace with inflation,” she said.

“Workers want to see their pay at least keep

pace with the cost of living.”

Ms Reilly said another motivation for the strike and further industrial action was to remove the pay cap for public servants.

After the speeches most of those at the rally went to a nearby hotel, where a big screen had been set up to watch the main rally in Sydney.

At the Sydney rally PSA general secretary Stewart Little a crowd of thousands of workers the Premier’s key KPI is to make sure the people who carry out his policies are paid properly.

“It’s frontline public sector workers

Australians turn to when there’s fires or floods or pandemics, yet it’s these same people who get messed around when they ask not to go backwards,” says Stewart Little.

“We are the people that do the contract tracing during pandemics, keep our schools going, make the child protection system work and keep our state’s prisons running, yet we get no back up at all from our leaders.

“Interest rates are going up, food prices, electricity prices, everything’s up except our wages, and now we’re being asked to receive another pay cut.

“At the end of the fires in the summer of 2019 we were frozen, we got a pay cut then, and now we’re receiving another pay cut in real terms, we’re just not going to cop it this time.

“If Mr Perrottet doesn’t have a plan when it comes to dealing with inflation or the cost of living which amounts to more than just asking his loyal workforce to accept a pay cut then he simply isn’t up to the job and he should resign,” says Stewart Little, PSA General Secretary.

Mr Little has already rejected Premier Dominic Perrottet’s “insulting” wage cap tweak which was announced last week which still see’s workers wages going backwards by 2.1% when measured against inflation.

The PSA executive met early last week review the Premier’s offer, which would lift the long-standing 2.5%cap to 3%, with a one-off $3000 bonus for NSW Health employees. Inflation this year is 5.1%. The premier’s offer was rejected.

Mr Little said the offer, which would represent a significant pay cut to workers in real terms, was an insult and reinforced why wage decisions should be in the hands of an independent authority and not politicians.

Floods are gone, but we are not forgotten SAMANTHA ELLEY While news of the devastating floods have slipped off the front pages of the major cities’ media outlets, it is heartwarming to know there are many still thinking of our area and doing something about it.

While individuals and even groups don’t have the capacity to support the thousands of us who are homeless, together with their own special interests and skills, they have been showing love to many residents.

Melissa Langley and 14-year-old daughter Isabella from the Northern Beaches in Sydney reached out to the residents of Woodburn to offer clothes and anything else that would be needed.

“For years I have always stopped in Woodburn on my way to and from Byron, and my heart broke when I saw the devastation after the floods,” she posted on the Evans Head Notice Board.

“My daughter and I (have) a car load of very good quality donations.

I have girls’ clothing and brand new swimwear, women’s clothing, shoes and bags, children’s books and heaps of Lego.

“I would really love to help your community in some small way.”

People suggested she

Photo: Courtesy Need for Feed Australia Facebook page. also bring warm items and heaters for winter, which Ms Langley easily obliged and arrived in Woodburn to distribute the items on the long weekend.

Janet Venturini is a support worker at an aged care facility in Brisbane and when the floods happened, she talked to her residents about what would be a good craft project to do.

“Everyone here said they wanted to do something useful, so I asked them if anyone had experienced being in a flood and was there something we could make that could help,” she said.

“One of our lovely ladies named Delma said she had and the WORST thing she remembered was the lingering smell

in cupboards.”

Hence the Delma Project was born and the residents got busy making over 250 sachets of lavender to place in cupboards and combat the smell.

For those of faith who lost their bibles in the floods, a group of Christian women from the Lake Macquarie area collected money to replace them, organising for the books to be delivered to them.

Then there are the individuals who rally their friends.

Julianna Szalay saw a Facebook post from a woman in Coraki saying they had had little to no help from the outside.

“It triggered something in me,” said the Newcastle resident. “I put out a small post

to my local area, my friends, and their friends in Newcastle local area and received so many items.

“I did a first trip up with donations in my car and it was emptied in two hours and the rest went down to the local pub.”

Ms Szalay said she had to rent a truck for the second trip due to the amount of donations she had received.

“I put a call out for a bike and received 37 pushbikes,” she laughed.

She now runs the Facebook page Donations to Coraki plus from Newcastle and now puts items up to be claimed by people, so she can deliver them on her third trip.

“I will be taking a lot to Coraki but also

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

going to Swan Bay, New Italy, Woodburn and Broadwater,” she said.

“If there are people who can’t get to the hubs and need items, please go to my page and I will source what I can, if I don’t have it.”

A couple from the Gold Coast has offered 180 rubber mats, usually used for sound-proofing, to help keep out the bracing winter winds for many still living in tents, caravans and hollowed out houses.

Our four-legged friends haven’t been forgotten either, with groups like Need For Feed Australia providing over 40 tonnes of feed over the Anzac Day weekend to more than 100 farming families.

Farmer’s son, Graham Cockerell is chairman of

the organisation that has been running since 2006 “Our goal is to provide emergency disaster relief fodder for those who need it, right across east coast of Australia,” he said.

“I am a farmer’s son from way back but we are all volunteers and all from different backgrounds.”

When The Northern Rivers Times spoke to Mr Cockerell, the convoy was on its fifth trip to the area with the first being only 3-4 days after the first flood.

“We mainly deliver fodder and each family that gets a hay allocation, also gets a household hamper and personal care packs, dog food and toys for kids.”

Mr Cockerell said many of the donations have come from farmers they helped last year during the Mid North Coast floods and south coast bush fires the year before and they are planning more trips.

The biggest expense now is fuel, although the NSW Government have promised to help in this area.

“Based on the Mid North Coast floods, we did 250 loads,” Mr Cockerell said.

“I get the feeling this one will go much longer.”

Oasis Park development halted concern was also considered when 18 of the 21 public responses received in regard to the development found to have objections to the proposal.

Two options were presented to council, to refuse the DA or to present them with an opportunity to provide further information.

Due to inconsistencies and inadequacies with the assessment of the works, council

LARA LEAHY Plans were submitted for an extreme sports facility to be built at Carool to go with an existing DA for health retreat style accommodation. Last week, Tweed Shire Council voted to refuse the Development Application for the park.

The initial DA for 35 cabins, and 5 rooms, also include a 4-bedroom site management house and

refused the DA. It was found that the “development proposal is not consistent with the Aims of Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 to promote the responsible sustainable management and conservation of Tweed’s natural and environmentally sensitive areas and waterways, visual amenity and scenic routes, built environment, and cultural heritage.”

The DA report and associated documentation is available on the Tweed Shire Council website.

Between the proposals, there was confusion as per the use of the facilities and how much would service the patrons vs public use.

There are 11 reasons council gave to turn the new development down.

Included in which is incomplete information on stormwater

was unclear how much of the clientele was to be from public use as opposed to visiting patrons.

A large concern was raised in regarding its visual amenity, with two large block sheds at the peak of the development, breaking up the sight lines of the surrounding hills.

The large amount of concrete, asphalt and exposed earthworks

risk research as well as risk to potential existing indigenous heritage. Inadequate infrastructure, such as sewerage, electricity, and car parking were also cited as concerns.

Issues regarding noise and light that would see up to 60 patrons visiting a day and up to 200 over 4 annual events were not addressed by the submission. It

were also not considered to be in keeping with the “picturesque hills of Carool.”

One of the two sheds were over the height limit stipulated by council, causing interest for the airspace above the shed. “The application was referred to the Gold Coast Airport Authority as the site has a ground level above the relevant Obstacle Limitation

Surface Contour and therefore the development would breach this plane. The Gold Coast Airport Authority advised a full assessment would be required.”

Superintendent receives Honours Ten NSW Police Force officers have been awarded Australian Police Medals (APM) in recognition of their dedication and service as part of the Queen’s Birthday 2022 Honours.

Superintendent David Roptell – Tweed/Byron Police District Superintendent David Roptell was first posted to Campsie performing general duties and later licensing operations across the Endeavour Region and Bankstown Local Area Command.

In 2001, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant at Bankstown and to inspector as a Duty Officer at the Rose Bay and Redfern Local Area Commands, building an extensive career

of operational policing in difficult and vulnerable communities within the city and Sydney’s southwest.

While at Redfern, Superintendent Roptell enthusiastically embraced and supported strategies designed to connect with and build partnerships with Aboriginal youth and community to prevent crime and improve relationships between police and the wider aboriginal community; gaining knowledge and experience that would later influence his leadership and community involvement.

In 2014, he was promoted to the rank of superintendent as Staff Officer to the Deputy

Commissioner, Specialist Operations, and later took command of the South West Sector within Police Transport Command.

In 2017, he developed and implemented the Police Transport Youth Strategy, establishing ‘Youth Express’, a program aimed at identifying youth at risk, diverting them from the criminal justice system and connecting individuals to PCYC programs.

As the Youth and Crime Prevention Commander, and in partnership with the PCYC, Superintendent Roptell led the implementation and reinvigoration of Youth Diversionary Programs in support of the Police Commissioner’s ‘Rise Up’ Strategy

of service, Superintendent Roptell is recognised as an outstanding police leader committed to the policing profession, with particular care for youth and community safety across NSW.

in 2018.

He has excelled in youth work and, as a member of the NSWPF Youth Advisory Group, focused on youth coming into adverse contact with the criminal justice system, improving service delivery and mitigating youth related crime in communities.

In 2019, he

transferred as the Tweed/Byron Police District Commander and has provided exemplary leadership and, since March 2020, managed the impact of Queensland and NSW border closures on northern NSW communities, including numerous public order operations.

With 32 years

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb congratulated the APM recipients, many of whose professional experiences have focused on improving outcomes for our most vulnerable communities.

“Not only is the award a special honour, but it also recognises the valuable contribution these officers make to their community each and every day,” Commissioner Webb said.

Byron Shire one step closer to 90-day caps on short-term rental accommodation Byron Shire Council this progress in managing short-term rental accommodation across the Shire.

The NSW Government’s Department of Planning approved a Gateway Determination for a planning proposal to reduce the number of days of non-hosted short-term rental accommodation in parts of the Byron Shire from 180 days to 90 days.

This means that Council has permission to go forward and put on public exhibition the planning proposal, which involves breaking up the Shire into two types of precincts where either: • Non-hosted accommodation will be available for short-term/ holiday accommodation for a maximum of 90 days a year, which takes in the majority of the Byron Shire. or

• Non-hosted accommodation will be available for short-term/ holiday accommodation for 365 days a year including parts of Byron Bay, Suffolk Park and Brunswick Heads.

The planning proposal also looks to mitigate of short-term rental accommodation on permanent rental housing supply, amenity, local character, and community, while still allowing for a diverse and sustainable base of tourist accommodation options to support the local economy.

Byron Shire Mayor, Michael Lyon, said the Council has been working for several years on this proposal and now looks set to be able to implement it once the community has had the opportunity to comment during public exhibition.

“This is about returning properties in key residential areas to the

long-term letting pool by setting caps on how many days properties will be able to be rented out for holiday accommodation,” Mayor Lyon said.

“The more rental accommodation that is available for holiday letting, the less stock is there for people looking for long-term, secure housing.

“It is also important that we can give our communities some

or unit next door, in their quiet residential area, will not have a continual turnover of holiday makers moving through them year-round.

“The Economic Impact Analysis, commissioned by the NSW Government, showed clearly that allowing 90-day caps will return the largest amount of properties to the longterm pool.

“It won’t be a silver bullet but it will make a difference and we need

to make a difference in the housing space,” Mayor Lyon said.

Page 2 of “I thank the NSW Planning Minister, the Hon. Anthony Roberts, for taking into consideration the desperate housing crisis in our shire, exacerbated am grateful that our pleas have been heard.

“It is also an honouring of the election promise in 2019.

“The next stage in the process will be to put the proposal on public exhibition and I have no doubt there will be a wide range of submissions,” Mayor Lyon said.

“Staff will read and collate all the information received and this will be presented to Council and Councillors will decide on the best way forward for our Shire.

“The NSW Government has given Council a special opportunity to respond to the housing crisis, given the unique challenges faced by our Shire,” Mayor Lyon said.

Staff are now preparing an engagement plan including information for the website and this will be promoted to the community, including how to make a submission.

DISCOVER WHAT MATTERS THIS AUTUMN

Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry turning the first sod with Alder Constructions GM Dean Cheffers (right) and Williams Group Australia GM Lyndon Poirrier (left) at the new flood-free industrial land swap area in South Murwillumbah.

Construction set to start on first flood-free industrial land swap The Tweed’s first flood-free industrial land swap project is one step closer to fruition with construction works planned to begin at South Murwillumbah in August.

The innovative plan will see eligible business landowners swap their flood-prone land with Councilowned, flood-free land at Industry Central, located in Lundberg Drive, South Murwillumbah.

Alder Constructions was awarded the $3.18 million contract for the design and construction of all public infrastructure at Industry Central in Lundberg Drive, including the roads, stormwater, reticulated sewer, water supply and telecommunications.

So far, 5 local businesses along with the Tweed Shire Council Depot, have confirmed they will be moving to the new site, with 4 allotments remaining unallocated.

Council will soon be undertaking expressions of interest to allocate these remaining allotments to eligible businesses.

The new allotments are due to be completed in early 2023 and, once

settlement has taken place, businesses can commence building their new premises on the site.

Mayor of Tweed Shire Chris Cherry said she was excited to see construction planned for August.

“Land swaps are complex legal and planning initiatives which are rarely undertaken, with this project already 5 years in the making,” Cr Cherry said.

“It is crucial we undertake this land swap. We must get businesses off the floodplain and up to higher ground if we are to ensure confidence in the local economy. Our region is growing and we are keen to support our business sector wherever we can.

“This could pave the way for future land swaps in the Tweed and across the Northern Rivers.”

Alder Constructions General Manager Dean Cheffers said Alder was thrilled to be part of this awardwinning initiative.

Williams Group Australia General Manager Lyndon Poirrier said the longtime Murwillumbah company was looking forward to moving to the new site.

Other businesses that have signed up for the land swap include 30 Marine Parade Pty Ltd, Mick Bourke Transport, North Commercial Pty Ltd and All Home Products & Improvements.

The innovative land swap was initiated

by Council in the aftermath of the March 2017 flood, which decimated much of the industrial area of South Murwillumbah.

Thanks to a $6.6 million grant from the NSW Government, Council was able to acquire 14ha of suitable flood-free land at Lundberg Drive, South Murwillumbah, and develop the new industrial estate.

Following the record flood in February and March this year, Council has launched a new Expression of Interest process to gauge interest in a second land swap project.

To register your interest in participating in the land swap, contact Senior Economic Development Officer Kym Kranen on 02 6670 2422 or email kkranen@tweed.nsw. gov.au.

Coffee man has ‘bean’ around SAMANTHA ELLEY An industrial estate is not where you’d expect to find award-winning coffee, but Nat’s Café is no ordinary coffee house.

Nestled amongst kitchen design businesses and auto mechanics, the café is an offshoot of the wholesale roasting business, Nat’s Coffee, run by Nat Byron, who loves his espresso.

A 40-something businessman, Nat has been dealing with coffee since his early teens.

“I’ve been in the coffee business about 24 years,” he says.

“When I got in, it was just before I was 15 and I started my brand at 17.”

The Nat’s Coffee brand soon became a common sight in cafes up and down the east coast of Australia, including a contract with Woolworths just before he turned 18, supplying their stores from the Northern Rivers up to Brisbane.

When Nat entered his first competition for his coffee, he was not even 18 and it was in the Sydney Royal Easter show.

“I entered and got a gold medal in that and then from there I entered a few more times and I got a heap more medals,” he says.

“Then in 2007 or 2008 I started entering in the Golden Bean Awards, which is the big competition in Australia where all the major companies compete.

“My second year of entering that, I won it.

I was the best coffee roaster in Australia.

“It was awesome because I’d done it all with Aussie beans.”

While he hasn’t won the Golden Bean Award outright, Nat has won every category of the competition with a gold, silver and bronze in each one.

Floods and Covid As with so many businesses around him, Nat has struggled in the last couple of years with Covid and the recent floods.

“I’ve got a philosophy, if people are helping you, you help back,” he says.

“I do as much as I physically can to give back for what people do for me.”

And that’s exactly what Nat did when the Koori Mail opened up their flood relief centre in Lismore, shortly after the worst floods on record inundated the regional city. “ On the second week … I went down to Lismore with the whole crew and I set up a mobile café and gave a way coffee to Lismore for the entire week for free,” he says.

“I gave away just under 15,000 cups of coffee.”

Nat continued with his donations by including his coffee in the relief packages to those stranded in their homes.

We are sitting in his office, with the roasting area at the back of the building and the café to the side. There are no longer any floating timber floorboards in the office as, despite being

located on a mountain in Alstonville, the building also fell victim to water inundation.

“I get a telephone call to say that the water’s risen around my factory and went through it up to 150mls,” he says.

“I am 500 feet above sea level. The sheer volume of water that came down. We had 450mls that night and it was all in a couple of hours.

“Apparently the water was running down the road, ankle deep.”

Covid was another issue Nat and his business had to contend with.

“Like everyone, the first month of Covid was interesting because none of us knew what was going on,” he says.

“I felt like I navigated it ok. It did hit my wholesale, obviously because a lot of people overnight just gave up which was a little bit of a shock to me.

“I had cafes just calling me saying ‘it’s over’ and they just closed.”

Nat says he lost

$10,000 a week at the beginning which hurt when trying to cover his fixed running costs.

“I was pretty quick to move with it and I knew my wholesale was gone straight up,” he says.

“I was lucky that I had the café so I moved my wholesale out into the café and people would be coming in to buy coffee beans.

“It was a slightly different market to what we were used to but it kept me going over Covid.

“I didn’t make any money, like everyone else, but we were covering bills.”

Nat says it gave him time to work out his strategy to making money again.

The future And what does the future hold for Nat’s Coffee and Café?

“The café I am doing some renovations on and expanding (it) on the restaurant side because up in Alstonville we have a lot of new people come to town and we don’t

have a lot of places for people to go,” he says.

“So I am looking at putting on something at night…Asian-y street food. Something that Alstonville hasn’t got.”

Nat says he is also looking to expand the wholesale business, going further afield to supply to cafes in the Gold Coast.

To fulfill his plans Nat is looking for more staff and is happy to take resumes from experienced and new workers into the coffee industry.

His dream goal and next adventure, however, is to grow coffee out at a new property he is buying at Newrybar.

“I’ve always wanted to put Australia on the map,” he says.

“We’ve got a good name with coffee but it’s still up and down and unfortunately, because we are such a small growing region and the price of land, we can’t mass produce coffee so we are never going to be doing blender coffee for the cheaper market.

“Our only hope for an agricultural industry in coffee is to be really upmarket, which means our coffee has to be amazing.”

Nat has been working hard to develop a new coffee plant which he named after his father.

“I’ve been growing coffee now for over 20 years and I’ve been doing a lot of experimentation in the last three,” he says.

“If people don’t step out of the box we don’t learn new things.

“My dad had a little tree called ‘a Byron red’.

I’ve got a new one called Beya Gesha, it’s a cross of my dad’s plant and the Gesha which is a variety which is a very sought after coffee tree on the planet.

“Just before he passed away I got the first lot of results I was looking for, so he got to know that it’s good.”

Nat will also continue to showcase his coffee in more competitions.

“I am entered in the world titles,” he says.

“This year, they have just started it. The Café Culture crew do these competitions all around the world and now they are doing one for the world.

“If you’ve won the competition in the past, you are eligible to represent your country.”

Watch this space.

Secret to a good coffee Nat says the key to a good coffee is balance.

“When you are experiencing that on the palate, the flavour on the start, in the middle and the end, they all need to balance,” he says.

“If there is an imbalance, you don’t experience it as well on the palate.

“If a coffee has too much going on in the cup, there’s too many things there, like its got sweetness, it’s got chocolate, its got fruit, when that hits your palate, our palate doesn’t understand it.

“It’s the blenders job is to mix the coffee so the consumer enjoys it.”

FACTS DEPEND ON KNOWLEDGE When using someone as an authority on an issue it is appropriate, surely, to do so with someone who is an expert in that field. Other people may have opinions, but they lack the expertise to speak with authority.

These columns are filled with opinions but that does not guarantee their accuracy, nor does it mean they are improper.

However, facts depend on knowledge not opinions.

In seeking support for his/her opinion on climate change G. McDonald uses Dr, Plimer, a well-known climate sceptic, who has been debunked by almost every worker in the field of climatology.

His area of expertise is not Archaeology, as suggested but is Geology neither of which relate to climate.

It would be helpful if G. McDonald, who quotes figures on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 417 million tonnes per annum and 940 million tonnes of sequestration, could give us a reference to the source of such figures and what they mean. We cannot sequester more than we produce, unless that figure includes carbon dioxide from natural sources and not man made. That can affect the whole justification for the comments.

Sequestration is a method to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The natural order has been doing this for millions of years and as a result we have coal and gas. Surely our

EXCUSES If labour can’t do the job of reducing power gas and petrol prices, then they should resign and let the greens and teal independents take over only goose’s make excuses and blaming the liberal government and the war in the Ukraine is an excuse for their incompetence the war in Ukraine accounts for ten percent of the problem so what about the other 90 percent hmm. Excuses, excuses, excuses. They can do plenty by just fixing prices pulling the so-called gas trigger.

Getting out of OPEC and just using our own oil which we have plenty and which John Howard derogated in the seventies as Malcolm Frazer’s treasurer we need to go back to regulating petrol power and gas and not pander to big multi nationals get rid of all the big business they don’t pay tax and we need to get rid of them they are

FACTS AND OPINION Compulsive scribe G. McDonald can always be relied on to articulate the usual rubbish that global warming deniers produce from their boundless sceptic almanac.

His inconvenient ‘fact’ this time (NRT 9/6) is courtesy of Ian Plimer a serial denier who claims we already have ‘net zero’ because of our sparse population.

Even though Plimer conveniently ignored the approx. 800 million tones emitted by bushfires his contention is never the less quiet irrelevant in global terms.

Australians per capita are among the worst CO2 emitters on the planet at some 20tonnes/ hd/annum.

Just the other day CO2 in the atmosphere reached a new milestone - 420ppm ie an increase of 150ppm over the past 200yrs, which of course is driving global warming.

As responsible planetary citizens we are surely duty bound to reduce our emissions in line with IPCC requests.

GAS DEBACLE There is an energy emergency happening in the eastern states. Santos CEO Kevin Gallagher has recently spoken out about his frustrations with authorities in getting the Narrabri coal seam gas project approved.

He said unequivocally he is prepared to dedicate every molecule of gas from this project to the domestic market which amounts to half the state’s needs.

However, the approvals are being held up by some quarter wit lefty activists and the NSW state government that unapologetically drag their feet and thumb their noses at industry and domestic users. No matter how hard they try to misrepresent the facts, we want and need gas, coal, and oil.

You are delusional if you believe renewables can produce peak load power, we will always need coal and gas to achieve this.

“Investments in new supplies remain critical because oil and gas still make up about 80% of global primary energy, and the world would still be using oil and gas in 2050 including for vital applications such as manufacturing fertilisers, cement and steel”.

What absolutely annoys and dismays me is the rejection of nuclear power in this country, the leftard’s just can’t grasp the facts that it is the only solution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by phasing out gas, we will never be able to abandon coal mining and exports as it is a very large proportion of our revenue, to do so would be disastrous for our economic future, however this doesn’t seem to bother the leftard’s, they live in their own little utopian worlds where the government provides them with their every

Net zero is achieved when our emissions are balanced, (not by Plimers status quo) but by increased environmental carbon sequestration.

need, guess who pays for them.

The people responsible for delaying such projects should be named and shamed and held to account, meanwhile we will just pay through the nose for gas, when we can get it.

G. MacDonald Pimlico LABOR WORRIES I’ve always worried about the Labor Party as the last time they were in power (2007-2013), approx. 1000 boat people died trying to get to Australia, and the Home Insulation Program of pink batts had to end as there were 94 insulation related house fires, and four installers were killed as they weren’t properly trained. So, what has happened since the election?

Something unusual was the appointment of the new Assistant ‘Minister for the Republic,’ Matt Thistlethwaite, which didn’t sound too good a week before the Queen’s 70th Year Jubilee Celebration 2-5 June 2022. Wouldn’t it have been better to appoint an assistant ‘Minister for Disasters’ instead to oversee funds and work on getting people back into their homes or homes rebuilt from the bushfires, floods, and other disasters past, present and future?

Then, while cabinet was being discussed, the Department of Defence said that ‘on May 26 an RAAF P-8 maritime surveillance aircraft was intercepted by a Chinese J-16 fighter during routine

maritime surveillance activity in international airspace in the South China Sea region’. Mr Albanese said it was “an act of aggression and a dangerous act” when he was in Indonesia for trade and investment talks.

But some good reasoning has come forward due to an increase in gas prices/ shortage of gas as I heard Chris Bowen, the Climate Change and Energy Minister say he is hoping to keep coal fired power stations going while transitioning to renewables. So, let’s hope Labor can keep the lights on.

Lynette Evans NUMULGI LISMORE BASE In the middle of May I was rushed to the Lismore Base Hospital Emergency Department after a fall resulting in some nasty, if minor, injury.

Of course the depth of injury was not known until after diagnosis.

I can only pour praise on the attending Paramedics and all of the nurses and doctors at the Hospital during my treatment and overnight stay.

Everything that could be done, was done.

I was treated with great respect and care by cheerful staff. All necessary X-rays and a CT scan was done that afternoon along with the required relatively minor surgery.

I sincerely thank everyone for their work.

Bette Guy Goonellabah WARDELL CORE AGAIN AND AGAIN Phew! What a lot of hot air! Because I have highlighted the price of pies and sandwiches in Wardell I have been banned from Cr Nigel’s shop. It is all about me being after this councillor for not declaring a pecuniary interest in the Council vote for the lease of Wardell War Memorial Hall. How can it not be “pecuniary” when he complained to Council about CORE giving away free pies in competition with his shop? Maybe the pecuniary interest tribunal needs to sort this one out? I don’t have a beef with Cr Nigel.

After all, I told him some time ago that one of his employees was peeling the crackling off his pork roast with their hands and eating it. Like the Mayor, I have always looked after Cr Nigel.

Being banned is payment with ingratitude!

Now to the business of Recovery Centres. I went to Gallans Road this week and visited the Ballina Recovery Centre.

It is about the same size as Wardell Hall with a paid Council manager and several volunteers.

The young lady who showed me around was another paid employee on loan from Council’s IT department. It was offering basically the same type of things as CORE. I noticed a lot of mattresses stacked in a corner, but no bread, fresh fruit, and veg. It had the feeling of being in a church op shop, and completely different to

CORE, by comparison, has the log fires burning in the old bank building and comfy chairs to sit and chat. It even has a consultant who is a specialist in trauma recovery. As you walk in the front door you are confronted by cakes under a glass dome. A volunteer makes these for free distribution.

Some days they are poppy seed cake, other days cherry tart. The place is welcoming.

When I was there on Friday a lady walked in with meals for the needy. There was a lot of curried chicken and rice and veggies. When everyone had had their pick, the remaining dinners were placed in a large fridge for others who come later. I opened the large fridge doors and noticed a

HEMINGWAY TO GO by Nigel Dawe

N every field of human endeavour there are fabled names that rise and come to outright define the very upper reaches of achievement and excellence. Take Einstein and his penultimate ‘atom fathoming’ standing in science, or Picasso and his absolute cubist ‘take’ of art. So, not to be left out or outshone, literature - in modern times - after Shakespeare that is, has produced none more luminary or legendary a figure than Ernest Hemingway.

When it comes to word weavers who have managed to stake their claim on the steep cliff face of recognition, there is none more craftdefining or crafting of their art than celebrated war hero and big game hunter, Hemingway. As the son of a doctor who took his own life, Ernest - who was actually embarrassed by his name thanks to Oscar Wilde’s foolish hero in the play ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’, life was never going to be either pedestrian, forgettable, or easy.

After serving half a year as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star, a then 19-yearold Hemingway was turned down by the US Army, Navy, and Marines because of poor eyesight, to eventually gain entry into the fray of WWI as a volunteer ambulance driver on the Italian front (where he was seriously wounded by mortar fire having just returned from the canteen bringing chocolate and cigarettes back for the troops).

Throughout a life that saw and survived the recurring ordeal of four wars, four car crashes, four marriages and two fiery plane accidents for good measure, the legend that

is ‘Hemingway’ - who finally ended his days through self-inflicted wounds by way of his favourite shotgun - is not an easy one to unpack, or remotely pin down.

Perhaps who he was resides somewhere between the fact he once set a world record by catching seven marlins in one day, had a minor planet named in his honour by a Soviet astronomer, always wrote standing up, and would wear out as many as seven pencils in one day of ‘good writing’.

Frank Herbert once said, as if holding a frosted mirror up to the swaggering matador-like apparition that is ‘the man’ Hemingway: “Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the mythmaking imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him.”

Or quite simply, as the Illinois born ‘Hem’ (to his friends) and undoubted stalwart of ‘The Lost Generation’ once noted himself: “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” And thus, strength found within the impending threat of an all too breakable self and world, are perhaps the defining facets or focal points of Hemingway’s lasting mystique and allure.

The larger-than-life antics and escapades aside – for as long as there is literature and discussions about whom and which works constitute its highest reaches, one man will always feature in some shape or form, and that is the barrel-chested, devil-may-care enigma – Ernest Hemingway.

Senseless vandalism at Bray Park and Pottsville Vandals have caused senseless damage to the new off-leash dog park at Bray Park Reserve (Murwillumbah) and fencing at Pottsville last week.

This latest act of vandalism saw vandals cut through 59 metres of wire fencing at the new off-leash dog park at Bray Park, leaving it on site with an approximate cost to Council of $8,500 to replace.

The dog park only opened in January this year which now must close until fencing can be repaired.

A second vandalism site on Overall Drive at Pottsville included the cutting and removal of a section of wooden fencing. The fencing was erected at this site to address unauthorised bike tracks and jumps and ongoing vegetation

vandalism.

The bike tracks and jumps were fenced off because jumps and holes were causing a safety hazard for other park users and impacting the amenity of the park. Plants and trees were also damaged

and removed to make way for the bike tracks, causing environmental damage.

Council’s Acting Manager Parks and Active Communities Murray Smith said he was concerned to see repeat vandalism

occurring.

“Vandalism like this directly impacts people in the community and because of this, the off-leash dog park can’t be used by people and dogs who really benefit from this facility,” Mr Smith said.

“Not to mention the cost of repairing the damage and replacing fencing from this senseless act which is ultimately borne by ratepayers.

“The impacts will be felt by people across the Tweed as staff are

drawn away from more important work such as flood recovery repairs.”

Council workers will repair the fencing at both locations as soon as possible.

This follows another act of vandalism at a new park being constructed at Bilambil Heightslast month.

Tweed Shire Council encourages members of the public to report vandalism to the police.

Anyone with information about the Bray Park or Pottsville vandalism acts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppers.com.au.

To report vandalism in the community to Council, visit tweed.nsw. gov.au/report-problem or contact 02 6670 2400.

Getting back to business in the Northern Rivers Businesses crucial to the long-term economic prosperity of the Northern Rivers Region are encouraged to apply for their share of a $44.3 million grants program to help them get back to full operations sooner, following this year’s The Anchor Business Support Grant Program, opening later this month, is a joint initiative of

the Australian and NSW Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

This program will provide tailored support to cornerstone, larger businesses across the Northern Rivers to return to normal operations quickly, build on their resilience and help locals return to their jobs.

This program will form part of the $150 million

Northern Rivers Support Package Program, which includes: • $20 million for a medium business grants program providing grants of up to $200,000 to eligible businesses and • $80 million for a small business grants program providing grants of up to $10,000 Minister for Emergency Management, Senator the Hon Murray Watt,

said supporting the region’s economic recovery is one of his top priorities.

“I visited the region immediately after obvious recovery was going to take a long time and would require a great deal of support from all levels of government,” Senator Watt said.

“One of the most important ways we can

help the people of the Northern Rivers is to help local businesses operational levels, so that people can get back to work.

“I’m pleased that Minister for Emergency Management is to release the guidelines for the Anchor Business Support Grants program.”

Businesses that have

been directly impacted to submit up to three proposals detailing their recovery needs and how they would use funding in accordance with the program’s objectives.

Applications are expected to open by the end of this month.

Businesses will have four weeks to apply.

Fashionista trades in UK career for aged care nursing at Byron Bay With a glamorous career managing a high-end fashion store on Oxford Street in London, Shupi Maduveko thought she had it made.

But her sister wanted her to come to Australia.

Eventually, Shupi relented – she packed her bags, jumped on a plane, and enrolled in a nursing degree at Southern Cross University.

At first she was upset over leaving her coveted retail job and home in London, but now Shupi admits it was the best thing that could have happened.

“I don’t regret it ever,” she said.

“Never in a million years did I think I’d become a nurse. Now I couldn’t imagine being anything else. Nursing is so rewarding, and it brings me much satisfaction.”

Shupi was recently promoted to the role of Care Manager at Feros Village Byron Bay, where she makes a difference every day.

“I love all my residents

dislikes, their issues, their quirks, their medication.

“I can answer questions about their care from the top of my head as I have an

and every single one of them is a priority to me,” she said.

“I get to know the residents and their families very well – I know their likes and

intimate relationship with them. This gives me an edge as I have knowledge about their entire life and medical history which helps me pickup on small changes

in their health and wellbeing early.”

Shupi said nursing required stamina, patience, empathy, adaptability, and a good dose of life experience.

“When I was in retail, there was tailor-made fashion for individual customers and I relate that to my nursing where I give tailor-made care,” she said.

“Not everybody is cut out to be a nurse; but when you respect patients’ varying needs and personalities, you can make a real difference in someone’s life.

“I can walk away and know that I made Joyce laugh today, or I made Mike smile today, which is a big thing.

“To me, that is happiness.”

Ten Clarence and Richmond Valley sports clubs will share in $50,000 of Nationals in NSW Government funding to develop better experiences for their members, Clarence Nationals MP Chris

Gulaptis has announced.

“These little grants will have a big impact for locals enjoying BMX, cricket, canoeing, rugby league, croquet, bowls, horse riding, swimming, dragon boating and showjumping,” Mr

Gulaptis said.

The largest of the grants from the Nationals in NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program goes to the Clarence Valley BMX Club, with $15,000 of works for improved

disability access.

Mr Gulaptis said this was consistent with the Government’s commitment to help more people of all ages and abilities participate in sport.

The successful clubs

are Clarence Valley BMX Club, Casino Magpies Cricket Club, Big River Canoe Club, Grafton Ghosts Rugby League Club, Coutts Crossing Croquet Club, Iluka Bowls Club, North Coast Ranch & Quarter

Horse Association, Maclean Manta Rays Swimming Club, Clarence Coast Dragon Boat Club and Valley & Rivers Showjumping Inc.

Businesses can get help to access a skilled and eager workforce The not-for-profit organisation Social Futures can support Northern Rivers employers fill job vacancies by showing them how to access a skilled but untapped workforce – people with disability.

The leading not-forprofit organisation, Social Futures, is a National Disability Insurance Scheme Partner in the Community.

Social Futures’ Capacity Building Team Leader, Damien Becker, says it is easy and inexpensive to become an inclusive workplace for people living with disability, opening the potential to attract new employees and customers.

Mr Becker said Social Futures has produced helpful videos about employing staff with disabilities and can deliver onsite inclusive workshops in the Northern Rivers.

(You can watch the Social Futuers inclusive workplace videos here: https://socialfutures. org.au/service/buildinginclusive-workplaces/ ) Mr Becker said many businesses in Australia are struggling to recruit staff, meanwhile around one in five Australians have disability, that’s more than four million people.

According to Australian Human Rights Commission, Australians with disability have low workforce participation rates. Only around 53% of people with disabilities are

employed, compared with 84% of people without.

“Many talented people, with great work ethics, can’t get a job because employers either don’t recognise what they have to offer or think it will be too hard to accommodate a person with disability,” Mr Becker said.

“Social Futures, which delivers the National Disability Insurance Scheme in about 50% of northern New South Wales, employs many talented people with disabilities. We know how to make it work and we are sharing our knowledge.

“We can explain that there’s so many resources out there to support business, including funding to make workplace adjustments for an employee with

disability.”

Mr Becker said the Social Futures workplace workshop and videos had been crafted by staff with disabilities – inclusion experts.

“So many businesses have a shortage of workers now but remember there is a large and diverse cohort of people you can draw on – people with disability.”

Mr Becker said the employment rate of people with disabilities hadn’t budged in 20 years and Australia has one of the lowest employment rates for people with disability in the OECD. “Just think, you can open up new recruitment possibilities, bring new skills to your business, attract more customers, improve team culture and employ

a person with disability based on their merit, skills and talents.”

Naturally he felt lost at first, but sport and a fortuitous meeting with a Paralympian helped him to see an exciting future.

He went on to become a Paralympian, winning a silver medal in wheelchair tennis and he also has three gold, two silver and two bronze

World Cup medals.

Yet despite all this success, no one would give him a job.

“We are people who need jobs just like others and we are people who want to work,” David said.

“I did 18 months of job hunting, but employers were looking at my wheelchair not at me and what I could do.

At one point I started to go to job interviews on crutches.”

David eventually secured a job as a Local Area Coordinator with Social Futures. He helps Social Futures deliver the National Disability Scheme in the Northern Rivers. David also runs the Sports Ability program in primary schools and High schools.

Sports Ability is a wheelchair sports program that teaches

children how to play games that can include everybody. The program increases awareness and improve attitudes toward disability.

David said Social Futures made some simple modifications to the workplace, including a desk that raises in height to accommodate wheelchairs. (There was already an accessible toilet in the building.)

David says he brings the determination and resilience he has developed over the past decades to work with him every day.

“I’ve bounced back after a setback in my teens and gone on to become an elite athlete,” he said.

“I’m someone who never gives up but invests time and energy to get the best results at work and to deliver to colleagues and participants.

Many people with a disability bring positivity, willpower and determination to the job. Employers should realise they are valuable workers.”

David says research has shown that people with a disability are more reliable, stay in jobs longer and have a positive attitude to work.

“Personally, having disability has made me a better problem solver, more resilient, a team player, punctual, keener to work, more empathetic to others, and ultimately more valued as a community member,” he said.

Strong results for Southern Cross in rankings Southern Cross University has achieved its best ever result in the QS World University Rankings, emerging in the top 50% of global institutions.

These rankings, established in 2004 and produced by global higher education consultancy QS Quacquarelli Symonds, list the world’s top universities in 100 locations. The results account for the distribution and performance of 16.4 million academic papers

and the 117.8 million citations received by those papers.

The 701-750 ranking for Southern Cross is an outstanding result for a non-metropolitan Australian university competing against 1422 universities globally.

Since breaking into the QS World University Rankings (WUR) for the 801-1000 tier, Southern Cross has moved up twice.

The Citations per Faculty metric has jumped from 474 to

393, demonstrating the University’s scholarly impact and reputation for research excellence is growing.

The University’s ability to attract high quality international staff and students is demonstrated by the strong International Students indicator (120).

“Our purpose and focus are to achieve world standard excellence of that to the regions we serve through our work in education and research. This is

a journey that unfolds over many years so to our approach through a continued rise in our global ranking is pleasing,” Professor Tyrone Carlin, Vice Chancellor of Southern Cross University, said.

“We are blessed with an incredibly talented and dedicated group of colleagues. As we work together on building highly distinctive educational programs and research that delivers positive impact, it is very motivating to see the

ongoing growth of our global reputation.”

Earlier this year, Southern Cross University maintained its global standing for Agriculture and Forestry in the 2022 QS WUR by Subject evaluation. The University’s Agriculture and Forestry subject area ranked in the 301-350 band.

“Rankings are an important indicator of our reputation internationally, and research metrics are critical to achieving success in the rankings,”

said Professor Mary Spongberg, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research).

“This improvement not of our researchers, who have continued to produce excellent results in spite of the many challenges that have been posed in recent times, but also the growing sense that our strategy to make research everybody’s business at Southern Cross is bearing fruit.”

Flooded road repairs power ahead Three months after unprecedented floods devastated parts of NSW, the mammoth effort to repair regional road and rail links is powering ahead.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said Transport for NSW crews have been working around the clock to reconnect communities since the first wave of extreme weather triggered the February-March floods.

“We know the greatest impact, especially in the state’s north, has been on residents, which is why the NSW Government has prioritised restoring access to get people’s lives back to normal as quickly as possible,” Mr Farraway said.

“Across regional NSW seventy per cent of repairs to more than

2100 kilometres of flood-damaged roads are now complete, and we’ve also repaired 59 of 100 damaged bridges and two-thirds of the 167 landslips that impacted roads across the state.

and May, more than 50,000 potholes were fixed and 24,000 of those were completed just in the month of April.

“The total damage bill for state, local and regional roads and rail is more than $1.4 billion

so we know the rebuild won’t happen overnight – but we’re well on our way.

“Councils hardest hit by the North Coast floods were advanced $46 million in emergency funding to kick start urgent road

repairs, and for the first time ever, councils can rebuild roads better than the original structure through the $312 million Regional Roads and Transport Recovery Package.”

Minister for Emergency Services and

Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said rebuilding roads is a key part of the recovery process.

“The destruction across our road network is one of the most visible scars left behind by the unprecedented flooding, and restoring these access routes is a critical part of helping our flood-affected communities get back on their feet and return to some sense of normality,” Ms Cooke said.

“This is why the NSW and Commonwealth governments are working together with a $312 million Regional Roads and Transport Recovery Package, which forms part of the $3.5 billion of financial support committed to clean up, rebuild and recover.”

Parental expert to address youth issues Dr Justin Coulson, Australia’s leading parental expert, will speak at a free seminar about ‘Building Youth Resilience’ on Monday 27 June 2022 from 6pm to 8pm at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre, providing strategies and tools to improve the wellbeing of young people.

“This free event is for all members of our community that either

work with, mentor, raise or parent children,” said Sam Stewart, CEO Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association.

The Lennox Head father-of-three is working together with like-minded individuals, charities and health organisations such as The Healthy Minds Club, The Boaty Boys, Le-Ba Boardriders Club and The Ball and All to

create awareness and bring the community together to provide better outcomes for our youth.

“We just want to help provide parents with strategies and tools to improve the happiness and wellbeing of their kids and couldn’t be happier about securing Dr Justin Coulson for this event,” said Mr Stewart.

“Justin is a father of six children and a great

communicator who can really simplify the complexity of issues faced by our community.

Justin’s message is powerful, simple and strong. He is certainly one of the best experts people will get a lot of value from listening to him.”

Tweed welcomes rates relief for flood victims

Mayor of Tweed Chris Cherry welcomed moves by the NSW Government to provide additional financial relief to residents impacted by the recent flood.

The NSW Government announced ratepayers whose properties were damaged by the February-March floods would be entitled to have their Council rates

waived. This would apply to all Tweed ratepayers who had made a successful claim through Service NSW, or whose property has been assessed as damaged.

The announcement comes on top of the financial relief already offered to residents and businesses by Tweed Shire Council back in April.

Member for Lismore ‘rock solid’ in her support to maintain Murwilumbah’s four public schools.

The NSW Government’s plans to close these schools and replace them with a mega school campus is nothing but a costcutting exercise, Ms “They (the Government) have not demonstrated any students and to boot will sack 20 teachers and four support staff.”

Labor’s commitment to keep Murwillumbah East Public School, Wollumbin High School, Murwillumbah Public School and Murwillumbah High School open for the community into the future.

Tweed Shire Council’s damning submission and formal objection to the Murwillumbah Education Campus development application, combined with the school communities’ concerns, should be enough for NSW

“This additional financial support for residents impacted by the devastating flood will be really welcomed by residents,” Cr Cherry said.

“As a Council, we have done everything within our jurisdiction to offer financial relief to our ratepayers. This support from the State Government means residents who are

struggling to pay for the rebuild and recovery of their homes and businesses will not have to worry when their next rates bill arrives.

“At the same time, it means Council is able to continue to provide the same quality services we do to support our community, on top of the huge repair job before us following the flood.”

Boost for North Coast forest roads Campers, cyclists, hikers and timber harvesters will have greater access to flood-affected state forests under the NSW Government’s $60 million investment to repair critical road infrastructure.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said Forestry Corporation maintains a network of forest roads and trails spanning 60,000

kilometres, and these are critical for community use, forest management and fire protection.

“More than half of this road network is within areas that were impacted by the recent flooding, and early estimates indicate that between 10,000 and 15,000 kilometres of roads have been damaged,” Mr Toole said.

“This NSW government funding boost will go towards

fixing flood-damaged roads, bridges and culverts to help restore access for the forest industry and broader community. Locals and tourists use state forests for everything from four-wheel driving to timber harvesting, but recent floods caused major damage to the two million-hectares of native and plantation forests, cutting access for thousands of users.

“This new funding will

ensure these road repairs are prioritised, marking another step forward in getting our floodaffected communities moving and buzzing again.”

Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said the commitment will help address the critical timber shortage impacting wood processors in the North Coast.

“We have seen

firsthand the impact the floods have had on the timber industry in the North Coast,” Mr Saunders said.

“This funding will mean our timber producers will have access to more logs for processing, and, at the same time, will ensure community access for a range of activities like bee-keeping, four-wheel driving, camping and mountain biking.”

The flood-affected

roads are predominantly on the coast, and some of these roads were still being repaired following the devastating 2019-20 bushfires, when the floods hit.

Forestry Corporation will now undertake a comprehensive assessment of damage from the recent natural disasters, develop a priority schedule and plan for repair.

Looking after the Tweed’s flying-fox forests A project to restore 6 hectares of flying-fox habitat to help protect the iconic species in the Tweed is seeing great success.

The Sustaining the Tweed’s Flying-fox Forests project has now restored 4 hectares of suitable habitat with the final 2 hectares due to be completed by September.

The project began in October last year to restore highconservation value foraging habitat for the grey-headed flying-fox on 6 private properties at Tomewin, Urliup and Numinbah.

Tweed Shire Council’s Project Officer – Biodiversity Michael Corke said it was critical to ensure the survival of the grey-headed flying-fox which has been declared a threatened species.

“We are fortunate the Tweed is home to the grey-headed flying fox but it is crucial we ensure this vulnerable species is not lost to the area,” Mr Corke said.

“It is responsible

for the pollination of numerous native trees, with its preferred food including the nectar and pollen of eucalypts, banksias and melaleucas as well as the fruits of more than 50 native rainforest trees and vines.

“It’s Australia’s largest flying-fox, and plays a critical role in ensuring the health and survival

of iconic ecosystems such as tall sclerophyll forests and lowland subtropical rainforests.

“In a single night they can travel up to 100 km looking for food and spread up to 60,000 seeds. While we sleep, they create new forests by dispersing seeds from the fruit they eat.”

Restoration work as part of the project

has consisted mainly of primary control of highly invasive woody and vine weeds.

“In addition to the grey-headed flying-fox, restoration of the valuable habitat at our project sites supports a number of other animal species and threatened plants and they all benefit from this restoration,” Mr Corke

said.

“Flying-foxes are threatened by a combination of factors, including a lack of suitable roosting and foraging habitat, climate-related extreme weather, climate-related food shortages, bushfire, misunderstanding, and poor urban planning of the past.

“Full rehabilitation of

sites will help ensure the survival of this iconic species and our unique forests. Landholders at each property are learning about bestpractice ecological restoration techniques and a little about the ecology of the greyheaded flying fox.”

The project is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment as part of the Regional Bushfire Recovery for Multiregional Species and Strategic Projects Program grant opportunity.

Council will continue to help landholders maintain these project sites next financial year through its Biodiversity Grants Program.

What’s in the draft budget for 2022/23?

Some of Byron Shire Council’s most important and interesting documents of the year, including the draft budget for 2022/23, are now on public exhibition.

The budget for the next a capital works program of $76.2 million broken down to: • General Fund - $44.7

million • Water Fund - $2.4 million • Sewerage Fund $28.9 million.

Funding for projects and work in 2022/23 include: • Roads and drainage $25.1 million • Byron Bay skatepark $2.5 million • Open space and recreation (parks etc) -

$800,000 • Waste management $5.4 million • Redevelopment of the Byron Hospital - $5 million Council is proposing an increase to pay parking fees from $4/hour to $5/ since 1 July 2017.

Esmeralda Davis, Acting Director Corporate and

Community Services, said the increase has been proposed following impacts of COVID and “COVID and the recent Byron Shire hard and we have seen our pay parking meter revenue, which is normally around $3.6 million a year, decrease to $3.3 million last year.

“On top of that many of our facilities were closed due to COVID, or not operating to capacity, and the cost of everything has increased,” Ms Davis said.

“The aim of pay parking is for Council to recoup money from visitors to our Shire so we will not be increasing the cost of annual

parking permits for Byron Shire residents and businesses,” she said.

The budget, delivery program and operational plan are on exhibition until 10 June 2022.

Information about the documents and how to make a submission are on Your Say Byron Shire.

“Leemo has views on just about anything”

THE DREADED ‘BUDGET’ MEETING...

Aaaargh! It’s TORMENT time.

‘Leemo Cat’ back.

I saw ‘Mum Jane’ get out our tatty Household Budget Box and promptly slithered for the front door to escape. It was to no avail. All doors were padlocked. A sign hung from each saying LEEMO TO ATTEND BUDGET MEETING 11.00am.

OMG, I don’t believe this. It’s only bloody June? She even banged a gavel to start.

I resentfully sat in my spot, was told to listen, and take notes. ‘OK Leems, remember last year? We were late, and didn’t have our budget meeting ‘till Aug.16th.

Well, this year it’s early to compensate. Suck it to be cognizant, Leems, that our household expenses require drastic cut-backs.

The cost of living has gone up exponentially and we need to act and this will entail of us. Comprende?’ stunning feline eyes were almost falling out with boredom. my nose and told me to pay attention & take notes. (Note to call RSPCA ref. abuse) ‘Right Leems, these cut-backs apply to you. TV – restricted to 6 ‘Bluey’ episodes per week instead of 12. Food – 4 treats per day, not 5. Food 2. – reduced portions to be introduced.

Personal heater – 1 hour every 2 days,

NOT daily. Brushing – 2 brushes daily not 3. (Note: query what the hell brushing has got to do with our budget?) Laser Light/ other games – 10 mins. daily, not 30. Litter Tray – will be attended to every 2 days, not daily so you’ll have to hold it in or go out into the snow. Trips in our Car – NONE! (Walking suggested. do have 4 legs Leems. Remember?!)

Well, quite frankly, of this idiocy, so I grabbed the gavel and banged it truly loudly and told Mum ‘I’ was taking over this witless meeting so “JUST BE QUIET” she looked shocked, as she should! I re-commenced the meeting with dignity & aplomb. ‘Firstly, Mum, explain this tirade of meanieness toward my simple & meagre lifestyle? I have a mind to take my concerns to the Felines United Union, listing, (from my notes) Deprivation of Warmth, Inadequate Play Activities, Unsatisfactory Toileting Arrangements, Depreciation in my Vital Grooming Regime. My list went on. Ooooh..the look on Mum’s wrinkled countenance was akin to a bewildered prune.

She peered at me with a rather perplexed look and spoke!

‘Well Leems, I need to bring cost cutting strategies into our lives is, because, your birthday is coming up.

I will put aside what’s saved to acquire you a most splendid giftie.’

I fainted. Crikey!

Gifties? Birthday Cake & stuff? A Party with my buddies? Hmmm, ponder? I decided, with a touch of cynicism, to believe her. (BUT, I made a note to ask, AFTER my birthday, what fur brushing and reduced play time has to with cost-cutting?

(I personally feel it’s a load of codswallop!)

Bysie now…Plush Blue Blankie beckons me on this cold, ‘heaterless’ day. Leemo with shivery purrsies.

DAISI benefits from Quick Response Grant NORTHERN RIVERS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION The Northern Rivers Flood Relief Fund, a partnership between NRCF and Byron Community Centre, raised an incredible $1,308,655 in a matter of weeks.

This money means 103 grants (as of May 11, 2022) have reached community organisations who are imbedded, trusted and already connected on the ground in flood affected Northern Rivers.

One of those recipients is DAISI. After such an impactful and traumatic time we’ve had across the Northern Rivers, the significance of mental health and the need for

support and comfort is prominent and evident.

It’s essential that we as a community can share where we’re at and what we’re going through, with an ear to listen.

DAISI Services

Limited @daisi_ services is an awardwinning community based charity providing independent information, support and services to a diverse range of people across

most of the Northern Rivers region and Gold Coast QLD. DAISI’s skilled team work with people experiencing disadvantage, particularly those with disabilities people who

are ageing, and their families and carers.

During this time, DAISI have been providing satellite support across our flood affected region, and are using the funding

to establish a mobile service utilising camper vans, which allows their team to be present in areas of need, they perhaps otherwise wouldn’t be able to service. Having an ear to listen is crucial in the recovery of our community.

“This funding is extraordinarily helpful in keeping boots on the ground – the ability for us to continue to go out and provide support services, whether just being at a location, or more strategically, allocating people to locations and spaces with more regular presence. It just means we can actually respond.

Because the services like ours are finite.” – Trent, Chairperson.

Dodgy landlords put on notice over mould infestation With vacancy rates low in many parts of Australia, landlords are taking advantage of their market power by letting mould run rampant and refusing to invest in mould removal.

However, tenants are fighting back by leaving scathing online reviews of rental properties, which will make it harder for landlords to fill vacancies once the market turns.

RentRabbit.com.au, which lets tenants leave reviews of places in which they’ve lived, gets contacted regularly by renters complaining about mould, according to co-founder Ben Pretty.

“Almost every day, we receive comments from frustrated tenants, who can’t understand why landlords keep hiking their rent yet refuse to properly maintain their property,” he said.

“The average tenant is a reasonable person who understands that, from time to time, problems will occur.

“In those situations, they quite rightly expect the landlord to take the problem seriously and solve it within a reasonable timeframe.

“If that happens, they appreciate the landlord’s service.

“But if it doesn’t, they have every right to be

upset.

“If mould is left untreated, it can cause serious health consequences.

“So the feedback we get from renters is they believe landlords should have a legal obligation to disclose any known mould problems when advertising a property.

“Or if a mould infestation breaks out after they move in, they believe landlords should

have a legal obligation to fix the problem, as part of their duty of care.

“There are some dodgy landlords out there who think they can get away with treating renters like dirt, because it’s a landlord’s market right now.

“But what they don’t realise is that, sooner or later, we’ll shift to a tenant’s market, because these things always move in cycles.

“Also, now that angry renters can leave online reviews, these landlords’ properties are being named and shamed.

“Once vacancy rates increase, dodgy landlords will find they’re no longer able to fill vacancies, because renters check reviews.

“When that happens, they’ll only have themselves to blame.”

Real estate scams on the rise in 2022 Property settlement scams are becoming more common as house prices rise and scammers turn their focus to the large and often lightly protected sums of money that prospective buyers are transferring to the trust accounts of real estate agents and conveyancers.

Known as “payment redirection”, it’s part of a category of scams called “business email compromise”, where criminals hack an employee’s email account and then, impersonating that employee, send a payment request, substituting their own

bank account details.

The victims tend to be individual home buyers or small business owners, for whom the consequences of a lost deposit are devastating.

According to national are falling for the scam too.

The Australian

Competition and Consumer Commission’s Scamwatch receives on average about two reports per week of payment redirection scams in real estate.

March 2022 saw 14 reports alone — the months.

were made this year, which is an increase of period in 2021 and losses this year are up 186 per cent to $1.8 million,” an ACCC spokesperson said.

NSW, which has the nation’s most expensive property market, accounts for three-

quarters of the $4.3 million lost through this scam around the country from January 2021 to the end of March 2022.

Fraudsters have even used payment redirection to scam the stamp duty a conveyancer had intended to transfer to state revenue.

KEEPING FAITH

ABC, 9.30pm

This tense thriller, set in a seemingly idyllic town in the Welsh countryside, is racing headlong into its final episode. While initially, the series revolved around Faith’s (Eve Myles, above) search for her missing husband, it soon became clear his disappearance was just the beginning of a rocky road for the lawyer and mother – now, she’s fighting for the rights of a 14-yearold with a brain tumour while fending off her scheming mother Rose (Celia Imrie). The third and final season’s penultimate instalment sees Rose put the second stage of her plan into action after her attempts to make amends with Faith fall flat – jeopardising Steve and Evan’s futures in the process.

Often mocked for leaning heavily on sentimentality, this drama – or tragedy – bows out tonight with a masterful flourish. Creator Dan Fogelman obviously had a clear vision for the multigenerational story of the Pearson family, which might have been hazy to some as it rummaged around in the past as far back as the ’40s, all the way to 2040. Besides some excellent makeup artistry and costuming, the series’ backbone has been its outstanding ensemble cast and remarkable editing, on show tonight. Prepare for tissues, three words and a deceptively simple conclusion as Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz), and Randall (Sterling K Brown, right) bow out.

COURTNEY ACT’S ONE PLUS ONE

ABC, 9.35pm

Author, singer and drag artist Courtney Act struck a chord with her first season as host of this enlightening longform interview series. She’s back with this second helping, delving into the concept of fame and living in the spotlight. Tonight, the former Dancing with the Stars and RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant sits down for a leisurely and expansive chat with Australian actor Pallavi Sharda.

Having worked in both Hollywood and Bollywood, as well as locally, Sharda has a unique view of the entertainment industry. Settle in for an enlightening conversation which shines thanks to the heartfelt format.

How the red meat industry is responding to the threat of Lumpy Skin Disease Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a viral cattle and water buffalo disease that causes relatively low mortality but can result in animal welfare issues losses. If an incursion was to occur in Australia, international markets would be disrupted.

Importantly, there are no safety implications for the human food chain from an outbreak of LSD. Australia is currently free from LSD and our priority is to keep it that way. At the same time, while the red meat in Australia’s strong biosecurity measures, our industry is not taking anything for granted.

Managing the situation In response to the the recent outbreak of LSD in Indonesia, the Red Meat Advisory Council activated the red meat and livestock industry’s crisis management process.

This led to the formation of a high-level crossindustry taskforce to ensure coordination and collaboration across all affected industry sectors.

The taskforce meets weekly and comprises senior representatives from the Red Meat Advisory Council, the National Farmers’ Federation, Australian Dairy Farmers, and their respective industry service providers,

including Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA).

To address the key elements of prevention, response and recovery, four skills-based committees have been established by the taskforce covering: 1. Overseas incountry support – to develop proposals for providing support to Indonesia and other neighbouring countries in their mitigation and management of LSD and to contribute to proposals for LSD support in overseas markets put forward by other parties.

2. Trade and protocols market risk analysis and market prioritisation and

determine protocol and both pre-emptive and reactive.

3. Domestic containment strategy – to develop effective strategies to inform the containment and management of the spread of LSD should it arrive in Australia, complementing existing processes and plans, such as AUSVETPLAN, as well as other work being developed. This includes: • vector control • containment lines and zoning • quarantine • eradication and disposal • food safety • transport and movement • response capacity and

capability.

4. LSD diagnostic capability and vaccine development – to develop strategies for the development of diagnostic capability and vaccines to diagnose, prevent and manage the spread of LSD, should it arrive in Australia.

MLA technical specialists are supporting the taskforce and the committees to undertake these important bodies of work. Industry is also heavily engaged with state and federal governments to manage the biosecurity risk posed

by LSD and ongoing response planning.

What you can do Early detection will

be essential to reduce the potential impact of LSD, should it arrive in Australia.

Cattle producers are urged to exercise vigilance on-farm by: • being aware of the symptoms of LSD • calling the Emergency Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888 if you suspect LSD in your livestock • adhering to all traceability obligations, including meeting your requirements under the National Livestock (NLIS) and completing National Vendor Declarations so they are clear, complete and correct.

• reviewing your farm

Excellent planting conditions lift prospects The winter cropping season is off to a cracking start as most of the wheat-sheep belt faces its third consecutive year of favourable autumn planting conditions.

Executive Director of ABARES Dr Jared Greenville said that this year’s winter crop area is currently forecast to be

only slightly lower than last year’s record.

“Excellent seasonal conditions and high crop prices are expected to drive the national planting of winter crops to reach the second highest on record at 23.4 million hectares,” Dr Greenville said.

“And our current prediction is for winter

crop production in 2022–23 to be the fourth highest on record at 50.9 million tonnes.

“It’s not all good news; heavy rain in May across Queensland and parts of New South Wales has affected the ability for growers to sow their paddocks.

“If these conditions continue, they may not

plant a full program of winter crop.

“And the high costs of fertilisers and chemicals have meant growers have needed to economise on their use, and tighter rationing of fertilisers could mean lower yields.

“On a very positive note, the latest Bureau of Meteorology outlook points to another three

months of above-average winter rainfall for the eastern states and South Australia.

“The total summer crop production in 2021–22 is also estimated to reach a new record of 5.5 million tonnes.

“Well above average rainfall during autumn off an excellent summer

cropping season in Queensland and northern New South Wales.

“This incredible yield in Queensland and Northern New South Wales, which was mostly localised and didn’t impact the national volumes.”

NATIONAL HERD REBUILD TO ADVANCE AND MATURE FOLLOWING STRONG SEASONS Key points: • Slaughter numbers have been revised down to reach 6.15m head in 2022, driven by processor capacity and supply chain issues • National herd rebuild to continue in its two paced environment, rising nationally by 5.6% to 27.6m head in 2022 • Record carcase weights are forecast to offset lower slaughter volumes, production is forecast to rise by 4.5% to 1.97m tonnes The national cattle herd rebuild will proceed because of lower slaughter volumes and the continuation of strong seasons in most cattle regions across the country, according to the latest Cattle Industry Projections update from Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA). around processor capacity and throughput have impacted the full potential for production which has resulted in revised slaughter numbers to 6.15m head, down from

reach records moving through 2022. Carcase

6.7m head.

MLA’s Market Information Manager, Stephen Bignell, said despite recent challenges, the industry has demonstrated resilience in processor capacity domestically and global demand for Australian beef remained high.

“Supply and demand for Australian beef is forecasted to increase as we strengthen our position in emerging international markets such as Indonesia and Thailand,” Mr Bignell said.

and dynamic export market and resilient supply chain will mean that the Australian beef industry is well placed to capture opportunities as slaughter and production ramps up.

As favourable seasonal conditions remain through 2022 and the herd rebuild continues, the national herd is expected to grow by 6% to reach 27.6 million head. By 2024, the herd is expected to grow a further 4.6% by 2024.

“Southern Australia will continue to drive

the national herd growth with persistent, substantial rainfall in the southern cattle regions of Queensland, NSW and Victoria,” Mr Bignell said.

“For northern Australia, they will require an above-average wet season in order to turbocharge their rebuild following a disappointing 2021-22 wet season.”

In addition, as the herd matures from rebuilding, many young females are expected to come into calf joining. With favourable

reproductive conditions and higher than average joining and branding percentages, the national increase of the herd is expected to continue.

“Southern Australia is driving the higher prices in the market and the strong demand for young heifers.

Meanwhile, the northern systems have seen a lowerthan-average wet season, with mustering starting earlier than usual.”

Carcase weights Carcase weights are forecast to continue to

of this year have reached a national average of 324.4kg per head – 10.8kg higher than the average in 2021 – due to good seasonal conditions across Australia.

“After an easing of slaughter rates, carcase weights have subsequently increased. This enables production to be maintained at a high rate.

“In addition, large volumes of cattle in feedlots are driving the higher carcase weights along with higher prices, which are incentivising producers to increase weights before selling,” Mr Bignell said.

In 2024, carcase weights are forecast to remain high with large numbers of cattle on feed and prices remaining high. Strong seasonal conditions are allowing feed to remain abundant but increasing grain prices could put pressure on feedlot systems.

Record agriculutral exports defy disruptions Australia’s agricultural exports are set to hit a record $65 billion in value in 2022-23 as total production tops $80 billion for a second straight year.

Executive Director of ABARES Dr Jared Greenville said the sector would weather input and supply chain challenges to produce $80.4 billion in commodities on the back of favourable conditions and high global prices.

“Record crop exports are forecast to be worth $39.8 billion in 2022-23, as Australian farmers are on track for another exceptional season,” Dr Greenville said.

“Exceptionally high grain prices are expected due to poor seasons for major producers overseas and the unfortunate

Ways to keep stocks safe this winter After an unusual summer and heavy falls of rain in many regions, winter is time to take action to safeguard your livestock’s health to maximise production into spring and beyond.

Read on for ways to ensure your herd or successful season.

1. Get barber’s pole under control Barber’s pole worm (BPW) occurs in sheep and goats and is particularly prevalent in warm and wet conditions. While the parasite can occur sporadically in any state, it is especially common in the summer rainfall zones of north-eastern NSW and southern Queensland.

With BPW larvae being killed quickly in a hot and dry summer, the cool, wet summer seen this year in these regions may have enabled barber’s pole worm eggs and larvae to survive –

meaning next spring and summer, the larvae could become active and ready to affect livestock.

Your local can assist you to create a plan to help prevent livestock losses from barber’s pole worm this spring and beyond. They may recommend strategies such as: • Using a worm test kit to assess worm burdens in mobs and drenching sheep with high worm burdens. Some laboratories can also perform a larval culture to identify the types of worms present • Drenching sheep only when necessary and returning them to ‘clean’ paddocks (paddocks that have not had sheep grazing on them for an extended period).

• Keeping records of what paddocks sheep with worms have been running on, to try to allocate clean paddocks for lambing and weaning.

2. Invest in pain relief during lamb marking When castrating and tail docking lambs, consider using pain relief wherever practical to protect your livestock this season.

The NumNuts tool is a pain relief option available for castrating and tail docking lambs. This tool uses a handheld device to dispense a rubber ring while injecting local anaesthetic to alleviate pain when lambs are marked.

Find out more about NumNuts or take a look at MLA’s factsheet and e-learning module for more information and practical tips on pain mitigation in sheep and lambs. A factsheet on pain mitigation in cattle is also available from the MLA website.

3. Keep pulpy kidney at bay Pulpy kidney (clostridial disease)

can affect sheep, cattle and goats of all ages, often striking when animals experience a sudden change in feed – particularly on to lush pastures or to heavy grain feeding.

With heavy rainfall experienced in many production regions of late, vaccination of your

treatments.

If you suspect pulpy kidney is occurring, contact your local veterinarian for assistance. In outbreaks of pulpy kidney, removing stock from lush pastures will often stop losses.

4. Be prepared for grass tetany Grass tetany can develop when cattle have

this disease could help prevent stock losses and protect livestock health.

Your local veterinarian and rural re-seller can provide advice on the best vaccine to use to protect your livestock against pulpy kidney.

When vaccinating, follow the directions on the vaccine label and make sure you

It is most likely to develop in the following conditions: • properties with a history of grass tetany • very fat cows with a fat score of 3.5 or more, very thin cows with a fat score of 2 or less, lactating cows held off feed, cows in oestrus or older (6 years+) cows while lactating • short pasture of less than 1,000kg DM/ha, or grass dominant pastures from late autumn to early spring • pastures with high potassium or nitrogen

animal treatment details to meet your Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) requirements, if you are LPA accredited.

Read more about your LPA requirements around conducting safe and responsible animal

content, or low sodium or roughage intake • increasing fertiliser application and pasture quality.

If you’ve experienced stock losses and suspect grass tetany could be the cause, contact your local veterinarian for assistance. Some ways to prevent grass tetany include: • avoiding pastures where cows have a history of grass tetany • avoiding high-risk pastures (e.g. pastures with high potassium) • feeding hay as a source of calcium, or hay treated with magnesium oxide during at-risk periods • providing loose licks containing limestone, salt and magnesium oxide mixed with molasses • avoiding sudden changes of feed or feed quality • lowering the herd age structure as older cows are at higher risk.

What the interest rate rise means for producers

Last week, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised interest rates 0.5% to 0.85% to combat high

rises are passed on by the banks – but what do these rate rises mean for producers?

above 5%.

This rate rise followed a rate rise of 0.25% in May. These two rate rises

Equity ratios reduce reliance An equity ratio measures how leveraged a business is. The higher a businesses’ equity ratio, the more of its assets it owns outright.

Meanwhile, a low equity indicates that the business relies more heavily on debt funding for its operations and

interest rates have increased in Australia in over 12 years.

There is commentary that the recent rate rise will impact mortgage holders as the RBA rate

asset purchases. As shown in the most recent data from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), sheep and cattle farms have extremely high equity ratios at 93% and 91% respectively.

For the Australian red meat sector, this means farmers are less reliant on debt and therefore less likely to be impacted by the interest rate rises than some other industries. By comparison, Australian

cropping farms have an equity ratio of 81% on average.

Capital value stays strong Further demonstrating the strength of the industry and its ability to deal with interest rates is the capital value of Australian livestock farms, which had increased 6%/annum to nearly $6 million when last recorded in 2020. Off-farm income and liquid assets of

farm businesses are also performing well, according to the latest ABARES data.

Australian dollar appreciates The other impact of the rate hikes has been that the Australian dollar has appreciated 4% since May, from US69¢ to US72¢. This rise in the Australian dollar is linked to the rate rises and may impact the competitiveness of Australian exports on the

global stage, including red meat.

Into the future The interest rate rises will not ease. However, while not all farming businesses will be able to weather the increase in rates, the indicate the red-meat sector is comparatively well placed to cushion some of the rises.

New resource guides for beef and sheep producers MLA has released three new resource guides to assist sheep and beef producers to enhance their livestock, pasture and business performance.

The Sheep producers’ resource guide, Southern beef producers’ resource

guide and the Northern beef producers’ resource guide contain a range of MLA resources available to boost productivity and and southern and northern beef enterprises.

FRONTLINE FUNDING TO FIGHT BIOSECURITY THREATS The NSW community, environment and economy will be better protected against growing biosecurity threats with a record $163.9 million in the 2022-23 NSW Budget.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said focusing on biosecurity measures is critical when it comes to the protection and ongoing strength of regional communities.

“The regions continue to make a remarkable recovery after a really however a biosecurity incursion that could put our agricultural industries in jeopardy could reverse all of the hard work that has been done to get our communities back on their feet,” Mr Toole said.

“Our farmers dedicate their lives to making sure we are clothed and fed; this is about making sure we have their back and are safeguarding

Government’s previous record investment in the biosecurity space of $125 million in 2021-22.

“Investments in biosecurity measures will help future-proof one of the state’s biggest industries, which is absolutely crucial for the prosperity of NSW.” The funding will strengthen the work undertaken by the NSW Government. It includes: • their businesses from biosecurity threats.

“Being on the front foot when it comes to biosecurity is absolutely essential to ensure we can keep our reputation of being world class producers of quality food Treasurer Matt Kean said a global increase in the volume, complexity and severity of biosecurity outbreaks requires early intervention and investment in new techniques and

technologies.

“We are bolstering biosecurity to support NSW families that rely on the $21 billion primary industries sector for their livelihoods,” Mr Kean said.

“Tackling the rising global threat of pests, weeds and diseases will underpin the health of our planet and people and underwrite our economic prosperity.

“That’s why we’re scaling up our early detection and emergency response capacity to

mitigate outbreaks before they take hold.”

Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Dugald Saunders said the NSW Government is on high alert against destructive biosecurity threats that have reached our national borders.

“My top priority as Minister for Agriculture is to protect our $21 billion primary industries sector and strengthen it into the future,” Mr Saunders said.

“The outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease and

Lumpy Skin Disease in Indonesia means we can no longer rely on our geographic buffer to keep our primary industries sector safe, and we cannot afford to wait for an incursion before acting,” Mr Saunders said.

“Today’s record biosecurity funding will invest in active surveillance, rapid diagnostics and effective traceability systems to monitor, track and respond to any threats.

Fifty billion reasons to back farmers A new report reveals the NSW food and agribusiness sector could be worth $50 billion in terms of value-adding and create 223,000 jobs by 2030.

NSW Farmers CEO Pete Arkle said the Food and Agribusiness Growth Centre’s (FIAL) Capturing the Prize for NSW report shows enormous potential for Australian farmers and producers to grow the economy, with NSW making the biggest contribution of any

state to the national food and agribusiness sector. It found the sector employed 135,000 people as of February last year, but that could grow by 65 per cent if value-adding opportunities were realised.

“Nationally we’ve been talking about being a $100 billion industry by 2030, and FIAL’s work shows we could double that number to $200 billion,” Mr Arkle said.

“By investing in valueadding, our farmers can

produce ready-for-sale products instead of raw ingredients, and in turn we create more jobs and more economic activity for our communities.

“We already produce healthy plants and animals – there is huge potential to transition Australian agriculture into producing valueadded healthy foods as well.”

Dr Barry McGookin, FIAL’s GM of Innovation, said the report launched on Thursday showed

the top three growth opportunities for NSW were supply chain transformation, improved soil, water and land management, and taking advantage of the direct-to-consumer market.

Investment in these top three opportunities alone could contribute an additional $23 billion for the economy, creating over 110,000 jobs in NSW. “Ensuring that Australia’s food and agribusiness sector is

prepared to make the most of the exciting shifts in science, technology and consumer markets is FIAL’s central mission and the underlying purpose of our work,” Dr McGookin said.

“This is an exciting time for growth and NSW has an immense opportunity to deliver greater value for the Australian economy.

“To capture all the available growth opportunities, we must invest and innovate to

drive better productivity and give the next generation the keys to succeed.”

FIAL is an industryorganisation focused on growing Australia’s share of the global food market. To read more about the report, visit au/sharing-knowledge/ capturing-the-prize.

Sugar industry welcomes support for diversifying markets The Australian sugar industry welcomes the decision of the Australian Government to support industry’s Five-year Trade Policy and Market Access (TP&MA) strategy.

The strategy is the culmination of multiple years’ analysis and discussion across industry stakeholder groups. It has broad objectives which are: • Achieve a fairer of export subsidies, and trade distorting domestic price supports; • Maximise export revenues by focussing on the highest-returning global markets; • Look ‘over-the horizon’ to identify

potential new global growth markets; • Address a number of technical barriers to trade; and • Better understand the environmental requirements of global customers.

Given the Australian sugar industry derives most of its revenue from export raw sugar sales, trade policy and market access remains a priority for the industry. Successful implementation of the strategy will lead to a markets, with increased industry returns. This will enhancing the economies of Queensland’s sugar communities and help the industry deliver its

share of the Australian agricultural sector’s ambition, to become a $100 billion industry by 2030.

The $592,900 grant, provided under the Agricultural Trade

& Market Access Cooperation program, will fund four action year of the Strategy’s implementation. The four plans relate to the recent win against

India at the World Trade Organisation; meeting environmental requirements for accessing global markets; identifying new markets and improving procedures when exporting to Japan.

Canegrowers Chairman Paul Schembri thanked the Federal Government for its support of the strategy.

“With 85 per cent of our raw sugar exported, securing access to a wide range of markets is vitally important. The value of market diversity cannot be understated,” he said.

David Rynne, Director of Policy, Economics and Trade at the ASMC said the growing and milling sectors looked forward to working with key government agencies to ensure the successful implementation of the strategy.

Declines accelerate across Sydney and Melbourne Housing markets lost more steam in May as a combination of higher interest rates, rising inventory levels and lower sentiment dampened conditions.

CoreLogic’s Home Value Index (HVI) showed Sydney (-1.0%) and Melbourne (-0.7%) dwelling values continued to record the most significant month-on-month falls, while Canberra (-0.1%) recorded its first monthly decline since July 2019.

Although housing values continued to rise across the remaining capitals, the growth was not enough to offset the depreciation in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, which pushed the combined capitals index -0.3% lower over the month.

Sydney has been recording progressively larger monthly value declines since February, while Melbourne has fallen across four of the past six months.

Since peaking in January, Sydney housing values are down -1.5%, but remain 22.7% above pre-COVID levels. Comparatively, Melbourne, which experienced a softer growth phase, has recorded a smaller peakto-date decline of -0.8%,

with housing values now 9.8% higher compared to the pre-COVID level.

Canberra, Australia’s second most expensive property market behind Sydney, has experienced nearly three years of consistent positive growth and although dwelling values increased 2.2% in the three months to May, softer house values and affordability constraints are likely to have had an impact. Accounting for the marginal decline evident in May, Canberra housing values remain 37.9% higher vs. prepandemic levels.

Outside of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, growth trends remained positive in May, albeit with less momentum in most markets. Perth and Adelaide were the exceptions, where the quarterly growth trend lifted in May, although both regions remain below the peak quarterly rate of growth.

CoreLogic’s Research Director Tim Lawless said despite the 0.5% rise in housing values across Australia’s combined regional areas, it was not enough to keep the national index in positive monthly territory, with the national HVI down -0.1% in May, the first monthly decline in the

national index since September 2020.

“There’s been significant speculation around the impact of rising interest rates on the property market and last month’s increase to the cash rate is only one factor causing growth in housing prices to slow or reverse,” he said.

“It is important to remember housing market conditions have been weakening over the past year, at least at a macro level.”

Mr Lawless noted the quarterly rate of growth in national dwelling values peaked in May 2021, shortly after a peak in consumer sentiment and a trend towards higher fixed mortgage rates.

“Since then, housing has been getting more unaffordable, households have become increasingly sensitive to higher interest rates as debt levels increased, savings have reduced and lending conditions have tightened,” he said.

“Now we are also seeing high inflation and a higher cost of debt flowing through to less housing demand.”

With the trend rate of growth easing across most regions over the past year, the annual rate of change has

eased sharply over recent months, dropping to 11.7% across the combined capital cities, down from a recent peak of 21.3% over the 12 months ending January 2022.

Whilst continuing to demonstrate stronger growth conditions, regional Australia has also come off peak growth rates Mr Lawless said, with the annual growth trend easing to 22.1%, down from its January peak of 26.1% and likely to trend lower through the rest of the year.

“Considering we are already seeing the pace of growth easing across most regional markets, it is likely we will see growth conditions softening in line with higher interest rates and worsening affordability pressures,” he said.

“Arguably some regional markets will be somewhat insulated from a material downturn in housing values due to an ongoing imbalance between supply and demand as we continue to see advertised stock levels remain extraordinarily low across regional Australia.

The trend in advertised stock levels helps to explain the weaker conditions across

Sydney and Melbourne.

Nationally, advertised stock levels remain -10.3% below levels seen this time last year and -28.4% below the previous five year average. However, inventory in Sydney and Melbourne are now higher than 12 months ago and against the five-year average.

Sydney’s advertised listings are 5.1% higher than a year ago and 1.5% above the five-year average. Similarly, Melbourne’s advertised stock levels are up 1.3% on last year and 8.1% above average based on the previous five years.

“With stock levels now higher than normal across Australia’s two largest cities, buyers are back in the driver’s seat,” Mr Lawless said.

“Higher listings add to tougher selling conditions more broadly.

Vendors in Sydney and Melbourne have faced lower auction clearance rates since mid-April and those selling via private treaty are taking longer to sell with higher rates of discounting.”

Outside of Sydney and Melbourne, stock levels remain below average, especially in the cities where housing values are rising the fastest: Adelaide (-39.5%),

Brisbane (-38.2%) and Perth (-34.7%) all have advertised stock well below the five-year average.

While advertised stock levels provide some insight about the supply side of the market, home sale volumes provide guidance on housing demand.

Sydney recorded the largest drop in estimated home sales, down -33.4% in the three months to May compared to the same period in 2021. Canberra (-21.6%) and Melbourne (-21.3%) also recorded significant reductions in activity.

“Our estimate of homes sales nationally over the three months to May is -19.2% below the same period a year ago, but still 12.1% above the five-year average,” Mr Lawless noted.

“A combination of higher interest rates, lower rates of household saving and a potentially more cautious lending environment is likely to reduce housing demand further just as total advertised stock levels are likely to continue rising, further empowering buyers by creating increased competition amongst vendors.”

Who is Moo? 3 June – 18th July Local artist Moo, aka Scott Mollan, tells his journey from a little kid who loved cartoons to an advertising guru in two of the most diametrically opposed cultures on

the planet, India and China. Each painting, childish by necessity (Moo was never trained in art), has a story about the adventures and characters he encountered and is accompanied with panels

showing Moo’s journey from his high school meanderings 50 years ago to childhood artists

The National Circus Festival returns in 2022 The National Circus Festival (formerly the Mullum Circus Festival) today announced its return in 2022, to be hosted from September 26 – October 2 at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds.

To celebrate its return, the festival today revealed that it will become the first event in the NSW Northern Rivers to host The Famous Spiegeltent.

The Famous Spiegeltent, the most beautiful and original of the last remaining Belgian Spiegeltents, is a unique travelling venue that has made regular appearances at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals. It has hosted some of the world’s greatest performing artists, including German singer Marlene Dietrich, who famously performed “Falling in Love Again” during the 1930s.

As part of the National Circus Festival, The Famous Spiegeltent will bring excitement and colour to a region

that has been through COVID Shutdowns and once in a lifetime floods over recent months. A venue for book readings, cabaret, new works, musicians and kids’ shows, The Famous Spiegeltent will be a place to bring the community together to celebrate and connect.

National Circus Festival’s General Manager and Creative Producer, Alice Cadwell, said that although the community has been through so much over the recent year, the festival will be a beacon of light for those in the region.

“It’s been a long 12

months for the Northern Rivers and National Circus Festival. The festival was cancelled due to COVID in 2021 and then ravaged by the Northern NSW floods in February 2022, which saw its home at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds, including storage sheds and

training facilities, inundated with up to a metre of muddy water,” said Ms Cadwell.

“Three months on from the floods and countess helping hands and a whole community behind us and the National Circus Festival is preparing to deliver another amazing

festival of circus from September 26 – October 2 and we are excited to see the community come together and celebrate with us!”

The National Circus Festival hosts a dual program with two distinct streams, including a four-day National Training Program from September 26 – 29,assembling the nation’s best performers in one location to collaborate, trial new shows and develop existing works.

Following the training program, the weekend of September 30 – October 2 will see the festival go into full swing, with a program of more than 100 events set to take the five stages over the threeday event.

To celebrate its return in 2022 festival organisers have announced a limited run of early bird tickets available via the National Circus Festival website - www. nationalcircusfestival. com.

MT WARNING releases new single ‘Hey Hi’ Byron Bay based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mikey Bryant, aka MT WARNING, is back with a sunny new single “Hey new album coming later in the year.

Opening with a 1970’s set to disco AND rock, “Hey Hi” is the optimistic tune we all

need heading into part 2 of 2022.

Recorded at his homebuilt studio, by himself, MT set out to rediscover the joy in music after a few dismal years globally. With two clear aims, honesty and fun, he set about writing, re-introducing himself to his audience and letting them know how he is…

“Hey, hi, I’m doing

“Hey Hi” pays homage to the 90’s music MT grew up watching on Rage from midnight to dawn on weekends.

Bouncing and fun, the song is a wrestle to make the mundanity of life a good time. The tremolo guitar bending it out for fun, the late entrance of the tambourine like a drunk in the corner

waking up mid jam and getting back to work.

An old loaned drumkit allowing him to channel his best Ringo Starr.

The single, and whole forthcoming album, is also punctuated by a 1960’s Wurlitzer piano, found at a farm at the back of Lismore prenostalgia feels.

Throughout Covid and

the “Hey Hi” writing process, MT was in constant correspondence with a visual artist from the UK named Sally.

She sent daily voice notes and sketches of otherworldy caricatures from her painting studio in Frome. In true Covid fashion they never met in real life and never actually spoke directly, just one daily voice

message to the next, supporting, questioning, challenging and inspiring the line “my friend Sally says hi, one day at a time”.

MT WARNING released his 2014 debut album Midnight Set, featuring the much Shazamed track “Sinking Sun”, to rave reviews.

Tradeswomen leading the way Female apprentices want more women to try their hand in a traditional trade to increase women in the construction sector.

Minister for Skills and Training Alister Henskens said the NSW Government is investing in fee-free and low-fee apprenticeships and traineeships to help address industry

needs, including Built for Women, a program designed to boost female participation.

“We want to make it easier for women to access the skills they job, or a better job,” Mr Henskens said.

“The NSW Government’s infrastructure investment is providing great

opportunities for women to pick up the tools and enter a dynamic and rewarding industry.”

Recently released data from the National Centre for Vocational Education and Research shows that female apprentice and trainee numbers are booming across the state, with a 91 per cent surge in commencements in the year to September

2021.

Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the Built for Women program has supported close to 5,000 free training places for women in trade-related work, including construction, manufacturing, engineering, transport and logistics.

“Greater diversity

makes our workplaces stronger and a secure and women who choose a career in trades,” Mrs Taylor said.

Shani Staples is III in Plumbing at TAFE NSW Mount Druitt and is one woman paving the way for more females to break into trade industries.

“The plumbing industry is incredibly rewarding and offers a hands-on environment which is fast-paced and no two days are the same,” Ms Staples said.

“Many people are unaware of the scope of work that a plumbing trade covers, so if a trade is something you’ve ever considered, now is the time to give it a go.”

Budget to accelerate fee-free training An additional 70,000 people will receive fee-free training as part of a plan by the NSW Government to turbocharge the State’s skills-led recovery and help more people get the skills they need for the jobs they want.

Treasurer Matt Kean said the 2022-23 NSW Budget would invest $82.7 million over four years to continue accelerating the skills boom and helping to deliver the lowest statewide unemployment rate on record at 3.5 per cent.

“This investment will deliver tens of thousands of new apprentices, trainees and full qualifications to help people get skilled for in demand jobs such as builders, hairdressers, carpenters, chefs, electricians and in the critical early childhood, aged care and disability care sectors,” Mr Kean said.

“The NSW Government’s strong economic management

means we can deliver fee-free training which is helping people boost their budget and ensure a brighter future for them and their family.”

This new investment in fee-free training is on top of 100,000 fee-free apprenticeships and 70,000 fee-free traineeships already

being delivered by the NSW Government.

This NSW Government’s strong focus on skills led to a 77 per cent increase in the number of people commencing apprenticeships and traineeships in the 12 months to September 2021, according the

most recent NCVER report. There was a 91 per cent increase in the number of women commencing apprenticeships and traineeships during the same period.

Minister for Skills and Training Alister Henskens said the NSW Government is leading

the nation in supporting people to get skilled for jobs to help grow the economy.

“This Budget cements the golden era for skills and training in NSW – there has never been a better time to get the skills you need to unlock a first job, a new job or a better job,” Mr

Henskens said.

“As part of our skills-led recovery, we have seen an enormous surge in the number of people commencing apprenticeships and traineeships in NSW and this Budget will turbocharge the take-up of training right across the state.”

Apprentice Employment Network NSW & ACT Executive Officer Jason Sultana said the investment will deliver a pipeline of skilled workers for industry.

“This announcement shows the government is focused on addressing skills shortages for the long-term by removing the financial barriers for young people to move into trade apprenticeships,” Mr Sultana said.

Proposed new names for zones The Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) is amending the names used for Business and Industrial Zones (Employment Zones) for all Local Environmental Plans (LEP) in NSW. This also includes the Lismore LEP 2012.

For the most part, this just means a change in zone name with land use permissions remaining unchanged.

One such example is

if a shop is permissible with development consent under the old zone, it will be permissible with development consent in the new zone.

In other words, the zone change is “like for like”.

In some instances, two similar existing zones are combined into one new zone. For example, Zones IN1 & IN2 will be known as Zone E4.

This means that the

combined total of permissible land uses in Zones IN1 & IN2 will be permissible with consent in Zone E4.

The existing and proposed new zone names are provided below.

Current zone name: B1 Neighbourhood Centre and B2 Local Centre will be E1 Local Centre; B3 Commercial Core will be E2 Commercial Core; B4 Mixed Use with be MU1 Mixed Use;

B6 Enterprise corridor will be E3 Productivity Support; IN1 General Industrial and IN2 Light Industrial will be E4 General Industrial.

The DPE employment zone amendment is currently on public exhibition until 5pm on 12 July 2022.

Refer to Your Say Lismore on Council’s web site for details of the amendment and instructions for making a submission to the DPE.

against allergic skin disease. The research could potentially lead to novel treatments to prevent or treat allergies.

Professor Ben Marsland from the Central Clinical School’s Department of Immunology, together with Swiss colleagues at the University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV), showed that

there is not a great deal of science behind this.” The researchers fed mice a

bacteria and subsequent production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in particular butyrate, protected against atopic dermatitis in mice.

The research was published today in Mucosal Immunology.

While it is well established that the gut microbiome shapes the immune is less explored.

“Previous work from our group, and others, has focused on the local well as at distal sites such as the lung and cardiovascular system,” Professor Marsland said. “We wondered if this

was profoundly protective against Marsland said. They labelled the butyrate with isotopes and tracked it in the body – it took only minutes to reach the skin where it enhanced the metabolism of keratinocytes, priming them to mature and produce the key structural components required for a healthy skin barrier.

“The upshot of this was that the allergens – we were using house dust mite allergens – that would normally penetrate the skin barrier, activate the immune system and start an allergic reaction in these models,” he said.

“It turns out the immune system was secondary to this skin barrier function.”

Actively improving the skin barrier

could have protective effects against environmental exposures that cause allergies and perhaps even other skin diseases which are underpinned by a damaged or weak skin barrier. SCFAs could be administered orally or directly on the skin as a cream, bypassing the gut, he said.

“The fact that short-chain fatty acids can be given topically and are well-tolerated opens up possibilities for the development of preventative strategies or disease-modifying interventions – that represents the most our research.”

One possibility to explore is whether this could help children who are at risk of developing skin allergies that cascade towards food allergies and asthma, the so-called ‘Atopic March’.

Professor Marsland and members of his Melbourne-based team conducted gether with scientists at the University Hospital of Lausanne where he previously worked before being recruited to Monash. The lead author was Swiss-based Aurélien Trompette.

Your boundless energy requires patience to be effective, enabling you to be involve high potential for arguments in your private life. Therefore exercise patience and modesty; you will be appreciated more rather than being so ruthless.

Try to compensate for your surplus energy by doing sports. An extended cross county run or some lengths at the pool are ideal ways to let off steam. This way should be tact. Otherwise you overwhelm your lover by your determined approach. Being impulsive is your partner into something they don’t feel very keen on. Use your charm to get your partner to be more enthusiastic about love-making. But be prepared that your attempts could fail.

TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20 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. In both your professional and private life your company is sought after and appreciated. As a guest you are likely to cause quite a stir with your encouraging and level headed approach to life. All who have the pleasure of meeting discover you are stimulating company.

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 20

Gemini May 22 - June 23 help promote any project you thoughtfulness you display enhances your position in the workplace and enables you to satisfactorily deal diplomatically with any ongoing command by showing some consideration for your friends and those you care about most, let them know how you appreciate what they do for you and how important their support they provide is. Your enhanced and have an almost mysterious sex appeal. Your assured presence when you venture out in public has the effect of turning you into the focus of everybody’s attention. If you have a partner you discover new facets of being together that make you feel extremely good about yourself and your lover.

CANCER JUN 21 - JULY 22

Cancer Jun 24 - Jul 22 Practice more self-restraint, far too easily you feel you’re deliberately provoked, even over the slightest matters. Without warning your excess energy erupts in a bad temper. Obviously this isn’t acceptable to those you know, self-discipline and compromise is essential. Such relentless behavior results in problems both at home and at work. Watch out that these excesses don’t become a noticeable feature in other areas of your life. You need to be more selfaware and make sure that it doesn’t. The pressure your private life. Small misunderstandings seem to infuriate you. You won’t solve your problems by shouting at those you care about most. Refrain from such outbursts and acting in an emotional way. After all, your lover is not necessarily at fault! Levelheadedness and self-control can ease the situation.

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 Impressing others with a certain level of competency, you’re able to demonstrate that taking on new and challenging tasks is a good test of your abilities. You want to show exactly how capable you are and demonstrate your enthusiasm to those who matter most. Aside from your working environment, catching up with leisure and sports activities provide you with high levels of excitement, satisfaction and fun. An even bolder approach reveals possibilities to improve involvement on the romantic If you’re single, you have magical desirability; people you like are practically dropping at your feet, without you doing a thing! If you’re in a relationship there are only positive outcomes to be had; you can look forward to many hours of love-making, full of intimate moments spent together. Enjoy them, it won’t last forever!

VIRGO AUG 23 - SEP 22 You are capable of being extremely productive and making a success of whatever you do. However be careful of over-reacting if you feel threatened; you tend to respond bad-temperedly or even insensitively. Hold yourself back if confronted and refrain from making enemies or from the temptation to deliberately provoke others, behavior like this is very unproductive and likely to cause you unwanted problems. Step back from time to time and use your energy both purposefully and thoughtfully! Any extreme resentment won’t do your love life any good.

If your relationship is unduly stressed with needless tussles and your attitude alienates your partner. Control yourself a bit more! If you’re single, it’s possible such brusque conduct works quite well - to pick someone up. But nobody will want to stay around you for too long, if you continue to behave like this.

LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 22

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23 Inappropriately you’re demanding too much of others and trying to enforce you will on them – not everyone feels the way you do! This philosophy of life is not in any way sustainable or indeed even desirable, call a halt, unless you want to provoke others into opposing you. Instead try to maintain and show the more positive aspects of your personality.

Encourage others and empower them with some upbeat support. They really appreciate the consideration and understanding you’re able to give them. Impulsive and thoughtless actions can lead to upsets with your lover. You better think twice, before doing something you might later regret! For your lover, the excuses you make are just as irrelevant as any promises or commitments – it all depends on the way you behave and what you actually do! Pull yourself together; show

SCORPIO OCT 23 - NOV 21

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 20 ready to make improvements both at work as well as on the home front in ways you have not attempted before. It’s easy for you to lose control and become embroiled in arguments which can cause problems that dent your pride. The maxim to follow is; to think twice before you act and proceed one step at a time with extra caution. Don’t let yourself be so easily provoked, consider situations sensibly before way to proceed. Your love life can be unfavourably affected by your deeply passionate feelings, which could easily cause tension and clashes with your making can be a great help in easing the situation between you, but any arguments that might possibly can’t be resolved by sex alone.

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 persuasive. You cope ably with each and every situation you’re faced with, without experiencing too many problems. Others notice how assertive you are and it’s likely that any type negotiation you’re involved in will turn out to be successful and to your advantage. Similarly in your relationship you enjoy a new found level of pleasure that is satisfying and stimulating for you both. If you’re single use your excess verve and energy to enjoy some sporting activity. You’re up for romantic walks as well as fun and games. Adored by your partner, make sure Every now and then you should both try some exhilarating and new activity or if there is something you don’t like, let your partner know! Holding back to keep the peace isn’t always the best approach for either one of you.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19 Instead of always attempting to get your own way, and endeavoring to persuade others to help you, you yourself to work a bit harder and accomplish what you need. If tempted to argue with others it’s far better to give in, especially if what’s to stop you holding on to what you believe in and waiting for a more favorable opportunity to put your point across, when you have thoroughly thought it through. You’re not behaving very diplomatically and your lover is feeling the full effects of your dismissive attitude. Be more considerate and allow others to express their point of view as well. Your stubbornness and bossiness tends to bug your partner and they feel exasperated. If single approach matters less-hastily, thoughtfulness often gets you further than obstinacy.

AQUARIUS jan 20 - feb 18

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19

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. So consider discussing everything that is important while you are in such convincing form. Be determined but not obsessive problematic then move on and take a different tack. regardless. This week you’re feeling particularly lucky, especially where your love life is concerned.

Passion and harmony dominate and it’s a good time to explore techniques with your partner. There is certainly one long-cherished desire, which you would like to try now. Thanks to your sensitive and considerate approach your lover is willing to listen and probably positively respond to you.

PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 21

Asserting yourself in a meaningful and pleasant manner you’re able to motivate others and if need be respond positively to those who seek your advice.

Your reserves of energy stand you in good stead and as long as you prioritize what is important you are likely to succeed. Such an unwavering approach earns you the respect and support of those close to you.

You’re able to pay attention to detail, not demand too much, accomplish what you set out to achieve and take full responsibility for the outcome. You show signs of being passionate. Don’t overwhelm your lover with fanciful ideas and suggestions. You should use a slower more sensual approach – gently coax them, don’t be too pushy. If you’re single, don’t sophisticated approach, you’re more likely to be met with approval. Simply be a little bit more patient!

AXEMEN CUT DOWN GHOSTS TIM HOWARD

deny the try.

After the game Cameron bemoaned the injury toll that has shredded his playing roster in recent weeks.

“When I came to do the team sheet, I only had 11 fresh names,” he said.

The Orara Axemen chopped their way through some frail Grafton Ghosts defence to score a decisive 26-10 win in their midweek catch up round at Frank McGuren Field.

Originally scheduled for Round 2 of the Group 2 rugby league competition, the game last Thursday night started disastrously for the Axemen, with hard working prop Alex Bunt

of the game with a suspected broken leg.

The Axeman, coached by former South Sydney and England legend, Sam Burgess, took a while to settle and the game following some concerted pressure from the Ghosts.

Half back Vinnie Williams put a cross kick in behind the defence and the ball took a wicked bounce away from two defenders, but into the arms of debutant Bowles, who touched down about 10m to the left of the uprights.

Captain coach Todd Cameron converted, give the Ghosts a 6-0 lead they clung onto until a

Some poor discipline and ball control allowed the Axemen into the Ghosts quarter with

was again able to plunge over in the same corner.

The two tries sent the Axeman to the break 8-6 ahead and boosted

on the clock.

From a play the ball in the left corner at the racetrack end Orara caught the Ghosts marker defence napping and a slick pass to winger Steve Cetinich gave him the chance to dive over in the corner.

In what became the a pattern for the game, the Axemen were in again just a few minutes later.

This time some shoddy Ghosts defence in the

second half.

But it was the Ghosts

their best on the night, centre Dylan Collett scoring in the opening minutes.

The Grafton fans were delighted to be back in front, but the Axemen showed no signs they were about to go into their shell.

They marched the when defenders let a towering bomb from hit the ground they were

in trouble.

The Ghosts knocked to concede a scrum and from the next play Hart plunged over from close to the line to regain the lead.

He converted the try and two minutes later had a huge hand in the next try, which effectively put the Ghosts out of the game.

He wriggled out of a tackle, chipped ahead, regathered and then passed to fullback Liam Dunn who ran 30m to score under the posts.

Needing to score next to get back in the game, the Ghosts forwards found themselves monstered by a rampaging Orara back.

With 15 minutes left on the clock the scheming Axemen halfback MacCauley Dawson, found his way to the line throwing a dummy and stepping inside some tired defenders to score.

Hart converted to put the game beyond doubt at 26-10.

Typical of the Ghost’s night was the no-try to Collett, who did everything in his power to turn the game around for the Ghosts.

A few minutes after Orara’s last try, he took a pass 30m out and surged through tackler after tackler, but as he dived for the line a defender was able to knock the ball out of his hands to

players from the Reggies who played last night.

“When you can’t get the same team together two games in a row, it starts to have an effect.”

Cameron said these weren’t excuses for a below-par performance from his team.

“I’ll have a look at the tape and see where we can make changes,” he said.

“But you couldn’t fault the effort out there, everyone is putting in.”

The forward pack again battled hard, but with star centre Jake Martin packing down in the second row, it’s all too obvious the cupboard is beginning to look a little bare.

Cameron is looking to a break from game over the Long Weekend, to allow a few of his stars “If we’re serious about playing for a premiership, we have to get some of those players said.
