‘Guardian angel’ for homeless, caught in her own border battle

By Margaret Dekker SHE’S the unassuming but fierce freedomfighter “like a dog with a bone” who spends hours of her time and money fighting for increasingly desperate Queenslanders still desperately waiting to get home.

Meredith Llewellyn, of Pottsville, finds respite accommodation like caravan-rentals for families stranded at Murwillumbah Showgrounds, or hotel rooms in faraway Canberra, or a shower in her own home; she makes phone calls to radio shock jocks to keep up awareness of these forgotten ‘refugees’ of their own country; has raised tens of thousands of dollars through family, friends and her Presbyterian faith; and counsels stranded Queenslanders on the phone who are ailing in dire places – she counts 12 of them, suicidal – before helping connect them to authorities.

But now this ‘guardian angel’ has her own emergency to deal with.

After an accident at home the weekend before last, Meredith’s husband David was rushed by ambulance to Gold Coast University Hospital in Southport where he required emergency surgery into the early hours of the morning to save his right eye, a bid that wasn’t

successful.

There wasn’t time for a doctor’s letter on formal letterhead to bolster Meredith’s chances at the daunting border crossing, as she drove from the Tweed to be by her man.

“I felt really very anxious about it, I felt quite sick actually, I had nothing to get across the border with … I felt very unarmed, I knew I could get turned away, just on a statutory declaration, that’s all I had, I had nothing from the hospital to go with, but I had a determination about it, I was going to fight it,” Meredith said.

Meredith said it was sheer luck of the drawer, or more to the point dumb luck in getting a

compassionate police officer at crunch time when paperwork is checked, that saw her through. It’s subjective business by the police officer of the day, and Meredith says it shouldn’t be this way.

“And what it’s dependent on at the border is a kind, compassionate police officer and I got that,” she said.

Three days earlier, on the day she was meant to celebrate her dear Mum’s 93rd birthday lunch in Brisbane, Meredith, also her mum’s carer, wasn’t so lucky.

“A very surly policeman pulled me over at the side at Tweed-Coolly and

he said he needed evidence. A bag full of cooked food, photos and a border pass wasn’t enough.

“That’s not evidence, you’re not going, and he was very aggressive, it’s very traumatic,” Meredith said.

She then rang Queensland Police Link.

She said she was told the decision to go through rests with the police officer of the day.

“They have been given the power to flex their muscles and some of them are choosing not to use that power and be kind and compassionate and decent human beings, and some are not,” she added.

Meredith is active

on a closed Facebook page – Homeless outside of QLD due to Border Restrictions – and said the trail of conversations of people who’ve also been turned away and met with unkind responses, tells her the Tweed-Coolly border has tightened.

“That used to be the border-crossing where you met the ‘kindest,’ most compassionate police officers but it seems to be that’s not the case anymore and a lot of people are finding that,” Meredith observed.

“We’re going for the fourth month of this now and it’s disgraceful. And what I think we’re seeing is a level of despair just increasing by the day,”

she added.

Meredith accepts the Queensland Government is trying to keep Covid-19 out of the state but with people like herself doublevaccinated and willing to produce a ‘negative’ Covid-19 test result on notice, she can’t see any common sense in stopping proven ‘safe’ people from entering Queensland to support a loved one or simply to get home.

“The fact of the matter is, it’s a great source of distress and we’re now in the position where we’ll be doing this every week,” Meredith said.

With a ‘good doctor letter’ in hand, Meredith hopes David’s road to recovery is not blocked each time at the border.

“David’s accident makes it a little more real, but our situation is still nothing compared to others’ you know, we’ve still got a home to come home to. We haven’t been sleeping in a car for two months, we haven’t lost an income, we haven’t got financial concerns, we haven’t lost jobs, it’s a minor thing compared to many of the situations others are in and it enrages me that this is what we’ve done in this country.

“There’s nothing about it that makes any sense,” Meredith said.

Woman charged over alleged planned kidnap and assault DETECTIVES have charged a woman with allegedly attempting to solicit the kidnap and assault of a man.

In August, detectives attached to Tweed/

Byron Police District established Strike Force Corks – with assistance from Northern Rivers Region Enforcement Squad and Queensland Police – to investigate

allegations a 49-year-old woman was attempting to solicit the kidnap and assault of a 52-year-old man known to her.

Following extensive investigations, strike

force detectives attended a home at Pottsville about 4pm last Thursday.

A 49-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station.

She was subsequently charged with threaten injury to person with intent to commit indictable offence and recruit other to assist in carrying out criminal

activity.

The woman was refused bail.

Investigations under Strike Force Corks are continuing.

Ballina’s bid for a bike-led recovery PLANS have been unveilled to boost local tourism and improve accessibility for locals by building more bicycle tracks, including a connection between Byron Bay and Lennox Head.

Ballins Shire Councillor Sharon Cadwallader said the plan aimed to make Ballina Shire one of Australia’s most accessible locations for cyclists and for people using battery-powered personal mobility vehicles including scooters and bikes.

“This is a strategy to boost tourism and jobs while not adding significantly to the number of cars on our roads,” she said.

“It will mean locals can get around easier and keep fitter at the same time.

“Tourists can fly into Ballina, board a bike or an electric-supported

mobility device and potentially access the major centres of our shire and places around the region.

“I see it as a major plank in Ballina’s post-Covid economic recovery, promoting eco-friendly tourism, healthier lifestyles and more environmentallyfriendly transport solutions for the region.”

At its most recent meeting, Ballina Shire Council unanimously voted in favour of a motion from Cr Cadwallader for a report on options for the shared cycle ways and estimated costs.

The motion called for the extension of the existing networks to the Northern Rivers Trail route to maximize the benefits of the rail trail for residents and tourists.

Councillors also supported Cr Cadwallader’s call for negotiations with

Byron Shire Council for a bikeway between Lennox Head and Byron Bay, looking for any grant funding opportunities.

“We’ve come a long way already with some fantastic cycle paths around Ballina and a world class shared path along the coast, but there are missing links to be filled, especially the connection through to Byron and the new Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

“Without a link to the all-important Ballina Gateway, the proposed rail trail risks being a path to nowhere.

“The motion passed by council last week is the first step forward in a new and exciting transport strategy for Ballina Shire. I hope to be leading and delivering as mayor in the next term of council,” Cr Cadwallader said.

Bigger, better men’s shed helps with mental health

By Tonia Dynan THE new Ballina Community Men’s Shed was officially opened last Wednesday.

The impressive shed joins 983 sheds across the country, and now there are more men’s sheds in Australia than McDonald’s restaurants, providing support for men’s mental health.

Ballina Community Men’s Shed president Pat Braz said the new shed was made possible with a lot of community support and government funding.

Ballina Baptist Church Senior Pastor Graham Eggins was credited for being behind the start of the men’s shed for Ballina.

“Over the past three years, we started off at Ballina Racecourse, and with that DA approved we were then asked to move to a different site,” Mr Braz said.

“A further DA was submitted to find out that the site was claimed

by Aboriginal land people.

“Eventually we got

that release and then were asked to leave the land.

“So, we moved into Smith Drive for a year, then even the landlord there had a better deal, and we ended up here at Fishery Creek.”

The old men’s shed is still on the same site but is now dwarfed by the new and improved large, roomy shed.

A solar system, donated by the Ballina RSL Club, is currently being placed on the old house/shed.

“We also thank Tamara Smith (Ballina MP) who referred us for our first grant of $66,000, and with the help of Ben Franklin (Member of the NSW Legislative) we were able to

apply for a Stronger Communities grant and also to the Gaming and Racing for a further cheque of $200,000,” Mr Braz said.

The Stronger Communities grant was for $450,000.

A $62,000 grant from Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation enabled the construction, fit out, supply and installation of major machinery and associated equipment for the facility.

Ballina MP Tamara Smith thanked Pat and the men’s shed members for their tireless work over the last few years.

“Pat, what you’ve done surpasses everyone’s expectation and understanding

of someone in your voluntary role,” she said.

“It’s been incredible and there’s been that many obstacles and you’ve persevered and it’s just going to be wonderful for all of the members and their families and friends.”

Member of the NSW Legislative Council Ben Franklin was unable to attend the opening as he was in Parliament but sent his best regards to the shed members.

“I’ve always been a strong supporter of the Ballina Community Men’s Shed and I’ve pushed hard to get the community the funding it deserves,” he wrote.

Smouldering garbage truck sees recycling centre evacuated FIRE and Rescue NSW contained a chemical off-gassing at a recycling centre at Alstonville near Ballina on the Far North Coast last week.

HAZMAT specialists rendered the centre safe after a garbage truck was smouldering and forcing

chemicals into the air when crews arrived at Northcott Crescent.

NSW Ambulance treated six of the workers at the facility with one patient requiring transport to the hospital.

NSW Police were also in attendance.

Superintendent Scott Dodson said this was a timely reminder that calling Triple Zero (000) for a fire emergency could be the difference between life and death, or a building or other property being saved or destroyed.

The Triple Zero service is the quickest way to get the right resources from emergency services to help you.

It should be used to contact police, fire or ambulance services in life-threatening or timecritical situations.

$7.9 million project for affordable housing

By Samantha Elley A MOTHER bird warbles protectively over her nest of little chicks high up in the branches of the massive fig tree at 70-90 Station Street, Mullumbimby.

The irony is not lost on a few people who have gathered there to see the sod turned on the new development of 25 affordable homes by North Coast Community Housing.

But there is a happy ending all round.

Not only is there more affordable housing being built in the Byron Shire but the mother bird and her nestlings get to keep their home too, as the project has been designed around the majestic fig tree that is their home.

In a local government area where there is less than two per cent social housing, NCCH CEO John McKenna said this project was a very welcome contribution to relieving the issue

used included tin and hardwood to give the building an authentic and stylish appearance.

Byron Mayor Michael Lyon was pleased with the plans for the Millyard, the name being a nod to the previous activities of the land.

“This is a fantastic result to be able to use a council asset to address the most critical issue in the area,” he said.

“It’s not just social housing we need, but affordable housing.

“Everything is at risk in the community so we need to have a serious think about how to free up land for more

of homelessness in the shire.

“Housing affordability is now more critical than we have ever seen in our region and as a leading Community Housing Provider, NCCH is investing in the community’s future by creating safe and secure housing for working people,” he said.

“We are starting to see people who have never had a housing issue, unable to find places to

live.

“This affects businesses who need to employ those people who can’t find homes.”

Designer Adam Bennett-Smith, of Koho, said it had been very easy to work with Byron Council through the development process, despite some market conditions holding up the project.

“These are loft apartments built in a heritage precinct,” he

said.

“Architecturally we were inspired by the history of the site when it was a millyard, so we were able to incorporate an agricultural, industrial, country feel into the design.

“Because of this we were able to introduce more efficiencies in construction materials which helped keep costs down but quality up.”

Mr Bennett-Smith said the palette of materials

NCCH Vice Chair Carolyn Parker said Byron was just one area where the not-for-profit was looking for further properties.

“We also have projects in Lismore, Casino and Grafton,” she said.

“We really are grateful to Byron Council to have brought this opportunity to us.”

NCCH will sell some properties off the plan, then some after completion.

The remainder will be rented out to those working and living in the shire as affordable and social housing.

Council candidate apologises for transphobic post

By Tonia Dynan A LISMORE electoral candidate has come under fire for sharing a post on women’s sport on his Facebook page.

Former Lismore deputy mayor Simon Clough is running on the Our Sustainable Future ticket, with a team led by current councillor Elly Bird.

Mr Clough shared a post by Liberal Senator Claire Chandler advocating to “protect” women’s sport, with the senator against Sport Australia’s inclusion guidelines supporting transgender players.

The post called on supporters to sign a petition to stop transgendered people competing in women’s sport.

“I need to apologise for posting a very hurtful and discriminatory petition on transgender women in sport from Tasmanian Liberal Senator Claire Chandler,” Mr Clough said.

“I did not read the petition and certainly did

not sign it. I have learnt my lesson ‘don’t post anything you haven’t read (especially from a Liberal Senator)’. I again apologise for any distress I’ve caused.”

Mr Clough has since deleted the post.

Transgendered sports competitor Roxy Tickle said she was dismayed to see the transphobic post shared by Mr Clough.

“I am still shocked that he would share a post that would have

me discriminated against whilst lawfully using Lismore sporting facilities,” Ms Tickle said.

“Do I need to hide if he visits sporting facilities whilst I am playing sport?”

Ms Tickle asked Ms Bird to clarify her team’s position on the matter.

“Could you please confirm that he understands that Senator Chandler’s post encourages unlawful

discrimination against me and that as such, I am pretty angry with him,” Ms Tickle asked.

“Whatever his personal opinions are, are up to him, but if he as a public figure is going to publicise rubbish like this, I think I have the right to call him out on it.

“There is a thing called Google that he can use to brush up on the law, but I will make myself available if he needs

to hear in person how hurtful his post is, if need be.”

Ms Bird said she was aware the post had hurt and insulted many people in our queer community.

“Our Sustainable Future deeply values inclusion, acceptance and support for people of all genders and I am deeply sorry for any hurt that anyone is experiencing because of this,” she said.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON INTERSECTION UPGRADES COMMUNITY feedback will help shape plans to upgrade the Bruxner Highway intersections with Ballina and Ellis roads at Alstonville.

Local Member of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin said the release of the preferred option for the designs brought

work on the $5 million election commitment to improve safety at these intersections a step closer.

“Transport for NSW carried out a number of investigations into options for the improvements and is now asking the

community to have its say on the option selected,” Mr Franklin said.

“The preferred option involves building a westbound on-ramp at Ellis Road and implementing a range of safety improvements at the Ballina Road

intersection.

“These safety improvements include removing the right turn from Ballina Road onto the Bruxner Highway, and installing a wider median to further separate oncoming traffic.

“About 15,000 vehicles

use these intersections each day, so it’s important we take on board feedback to get these designs right.

“All community feedback on the designs for these intersections will be taken into account and a report published by the end of

this year before making a final decision.”

Feedback on the upgrade can be provided until Friday, November 12, through the website at nswroads.work/ alstonville, via email at region.north@transport. nsw.gov.au or by calling 1800 653 092.

Small grants programs need a boost: Saffin Regional Round-Up with Janelle Saffin MP State Member for Lismore I’M ENCOURAGING local sporting clubs across the Northern Rivers and Northern Tablelands to apply for their share of $50,000 under the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grants 2021-22, a popular but under-funded program.

Applications for the Local Sport Grant Program 2021-22 close on Friday, 19 November 2021.

For more information visit: www.sport.nsw. gov.au/local-sport-grantprogram I’ve written to NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, suggesting that his new COVID and Economic Recovery Committee (formerly Crisis Cabinet) review all of its small grants programs with a view to lifting the per electorate allocations to a more generous level.

Two examples which immediately come to mind are the Local Sport Grant Program, which should be trebled from $50,000 to $150,000, and the Community Building Partnership Program, which could go from $400,000 to $600,000, or ideally, $1 million per electorate.

Protecting our water from mineral mining A FEW weeks ago, I presented to the NSW Parliament a community petition with almost 11,000 signatures which calls for a moratorium on mineral mining in the Clarence River Catchment and surrounding Local

I am doing this to protect our water – for our farmers, for our environment and for our future.

Water brings everything together and is vital for our local communities on the Northern Rivers.

I thank the Clarence Catchment Alliance (CCA) who have been working with Clarence Valley Council and other local councils, traditional owners, businesses and farmers who have all backed the petition and the campaign to protect our water from the harmful effects of mineral mining.

Locals rose up to protect our water from Coal Seam Gas. We continue the fight for healthy rivers for the future with this petition.

Leading the debate in Parliament, I called for a moratorium on mineral mining in the Northern Rivers region to protect water catchments which feed into the Clarence, Richmond and Tweed river systems .

A litany of broken promises EDUCATION Minister Sarah Mitchell has backpedalled on her key promises of no job losses; to provide the research to show the educational benefit to the students of closing four schools and creating one mega school; and make the Performing Arts a key feature of the new mega campus.

It is not to late the abandon the merger plan.

This can be reversed.

We can still consult the

wider community on what should be done with our local education, including upgrading Murwillumbah High and rebuilding flooddamaged Murwillumbah East Public School.

HERE IS MINISTER MITCHELL’S SCORECARD: Broken Promise 1: Twenty four jobs will go -- twenty teaching and four support staff.

In Parliament recently when the Minister for Education was asked if there would be job losses, she answered “Yes”. When asked that same question in the local media, the Minister stated no job losses.

Arts facility in the new campus. In the local media, the Minister made much of that, as did the Education Department.

The publicly released building plans have no Performing Arts Centre and I was told that they could use the school hall!

Broken Promise 3: Minister Mitchell, when pressed to explain the educational benefits for the students, said there were some and promised to get the research to the community. So far no research has been provided.

Murwillumbah’s school communities and the broader community deserves much better.

They also deserve to be protected from COVID-19.

• Distributing air purification devices (including HEPA filters)?

• Funding more shade sails to increase outdoor learning spaces and make it easier for classes to be conducted outdoors?

VAX VAN BRINGS COVID-19 NEWSBRIEFS

PROTECTION TO DOORSTEPS

By Tim Howard

A mobile vaccine van which will be travelling around the Northern Rivers region over the next few weeks has opened access to Covid-19 vaccines for more people says a van staffer.

The van, a collaboration between Social Futures and the Northern NSW Local Health District, made its first stop at Bob Liddiard Park, South Grafton, last Thursday and Friday.

Van staffer from Social Futures, Lynda Hope, said the van attracted a steady stream of residents over the two days.

“One lady said if it wasn’t for the van coming here, she would never have been vaccinated,” Ms Hope said.

“She said she had stopped going into town, so it was unlikely she would have gone to the vaccine clinic.”

Ms Hope said the van coming to residential areas where people might have difficulty with their mobility or transport was part of Social Futures remit to provide services to people in the community who lacked access to them, whatever the reason.

She said Social Futures sought advice from groups like Community Housing and the Aboriginal Medical Centre to find the best location for the van.

After the van packed up on Friday afternoon, it will head north for its next stop.

On Monday it was at Tweeds Head South Community Centre Car Park. Tuesday at Kingscliff Community Health Centre, and John Oxley Park / Chinderah

Grafton mum Yohanna Dent and daughter Frida dropped in for mum to get her first Covid-19 jab from the Social Futures Northern NSW Local Health District mobile vaccination van at Bob Liddiard Park, South Grafton last Friday.

boat ramp and Wednesday at Knox Park, Murwillumbah.

The following week it’s scheduled to head to Kyogle, Casino, Woodenbong and West Ballina.

She said the van would return to each region in about three weeks, in time to give people their second shot of the vaccine.

The van is staffed by health district vaccination nurses who take care of the actual vaccinations and the observation period after people receive the vaccination.

Social Futures staff meet and greet people as they arrive and ensure a smooth flow through the clinic.

Ms Hope said she was pleased at the way people responded to the van’s arrival in South Grafton.

“Mostly it was a steady stream of people coming throughout the day,” she said.

“Occasionally there was a bit of a line up, but people went off to do something else and came back later.”

She said there would be no announcement of the number of people

vaccinated at the van, but the figures would be added to the health district’s weekly tally.

Northern NSW Local Health District vaccination program coordinator Matt Long said the mobile van will offer the Pfizer vaccine, and people do not need to book.

“We are going to some residential areas, and other key locations which may not have had easy access to a vaccination clinic as yet,” Mr Long said.

“We want to make it easy for people to get the vaccine – no booking required – just turn up and get vaccinated.”

Mr Long said health staff would be available to answer questions about the vaccination process.

“The nurse immunisers have been providing Covid-19 vaccines for months now, and they will be happy to talk with people about the efficacy and benefits of vaccination against the Covid-19 virus,” h said.

“Our staff are here to provide advice and answer any questions.”

He said residents should bring their Medicare Card, if they have one.

Rotary Park Survey LISMORE City Council is seeking to understand how the Rotary Park walking rainforest reserve and walking track is used and the community’s views on reopening this reserve to the public in order to guide decisions on funding future improvements to the park.

Rotary Park has been closed to the public for about 12 months due to some aspects of the walking track being in poor condition and specifically the dilapidation of two raised walking platforms that are used to protect the soil and rootzones of the large trees below.

The survey can be found on council’s website.

Nimbin Water Security WATER security has been identified as an issue of concern for the Nimbin District.

Community members have expressed concerns regarding the current quantity of water being

drawn from Mulgum Creek, increased demand for water as the community grows, ongoing impacts of climate change and the maintenance of environmental flows to ensure the biodiversity of Mulgum creek is protected.

Lismore City Council has allocated funding to construct a new water treatment plant for Nimbin. This will allow water drawn from Mulgum Creek to be used more efficiently, with wastage dramatically reduced.

Council is also looking at alternative water supply options for the village of Nimbin, such as a water bore located near the Nimbin Swimming Pool.

Council has a Q&A function on their website if you have any questions, Casino development THE Northern CoOperative Meat Co Ltd is looking to modify their application for a construction and

installation of ancillary gas plant and associated infrastructure, and further variation of the height of building development standard.

The following development application is on public exhibition with Richmond Valley Council until Wednesday, November 17.

WHEN IN ROME In relation to the article, Edition 69 of The Northern Rivers Times by Alan Mosely.

In NSW, it is an offense to own an Interstate registered vehicle that is normally garaged in NSW. I quote: “Interstate vehicles kept or garaged in NSW. Vehicles kept or garaged in NSW are required to be registered in NSW. If they are not registered in NSW, they are considered to be unregistered and cannot be driven (or towed in the case of a caravan or trailer) on NSW roads.

There are heavy penalties for driving an unregistered or uninsured vehicle.

An interstate vehicle that is kept or garaged in NSW may be in breach of its home state registration.

If the interstate authority requires the vehicle to be garaged in its home state, they may cancel or suspend the registration if it is garaged in NSW. NSW Police may issue the vehicle operator with an unregistered vehicle penalty notice if: the interstate vehicle is garaged and kept in NSW the operator holds an NSW driver’s licence or is a resident of NSW the operator drives or

VITAL INFORMATION WITHHELD FROM ROUS COUNCILLORS Some people have attacked the five Rous councillors who voted for water security through multiple options, but they failed to ask the most pertinent question. Why did Rous County Council staff expect the eight councillors to make such an important decision while appearing to withhold vital information from them?

It was only when Water Northern Rivers with assistance from Traditional Owners showed them the Executive Summary of the Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (commissioned by Rous CC) that most councillors realised the magnitude of the impact that construction of the Dunoon Dam would have on the Traditional Owners.

It was this information which changed the attitudes of the five councillors. They realised for the first time that this vital information was available and should have been released by Rous.

Failing to reveal this information in sufficient detail to the councillors has resulted in deep divisions between the eight Rous councillors, and in the wider community. It has been, at best, a serious

A PLAN TO DO NOTHING Partly thanks to Kevin Hogan’s Nationals, the government’s PLAN to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is a spectacular embarrassment. The claim that it is driven by ‘technology not taxes’ is nonsense. Taxpayers will put up the $20bn devoted to the ‘technology ‘strategy: $1bn for research, $3bn for its development and $16bn for commercialisation of the technology. The oft-quoted ‘carbon capture and storage’, a sop to the coal and gas industries, is thus far an expensive failure.

And then there will be the cost to taxpayers of what Kevin Hogan’s Nationals have scammed out of Scott Morrison so he can claim ‘net zero’ as a target. Does Kevin

THANK YOU Thank you for the wonderful way you published our report in the “NR Times”.

So many members were thrilled to see our club highlighted in your great local paper.

Thanks again, Ron Whittaker for The Wollongbar Probus Club

Janelle Saffin made mention in her article of her support for the ‘No dam on the Clarence’ position, living North of the Richmond Range, to hold that position she must never have seen the Big River in major flood.

I am four score and five years, seen many floods before the levees and many after and would bet Tabulam to a turnip that any person who dared to stand on the old bent back Grafton bridge during a major flood and watch the countless billions of litres of turgid water a half mile wide, laden with tons of topsoil, sand, timber and dead animals rushing through just a few feet below, would be of the same opinion. What an absolute criminal waste of water.

ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS The push for zero carbon emissions to save our planet has one bit of truth – we are heading towards annihilation, not because of man-made climate change ruining the planet, but due to man-made ideologies of how to save the planet.

Even though nuclear power may be a clean source of energy I don’t like the idea of our Federal govt signing Australia up to more globalist propaganda to take control of this country. We already have gestapos checking our vaccination status before entering some shops and other experienced employees have lost their jobs, they have had for 5-30 years due to not being double vaccinated.

Also, I don’t like the trading deals that have been going on. The Nationals, under the leadership of Barnaby Joyce look like being promised further funding for rural areas if they agree with zero carbon emissions. Yes, funding is needed desperately for rural areas, let’s hope it saves farmers and small businesses, but will it fix the real problem of water rights and shortage, etc. when a drought occurs?

I believe zero carbon emissions will mean beef, lamb, milk, and cheese will be in short supply, as what usually happens after a war or plague is a famine which we haven’t had recently but predicted by those who study history timelines for 2025. If we are clever, we can get ready for it but at the moment it looks like we will be the ones who contribute to it by going to zero carbon emissions.

The information is detailed and culturally sensitive for the Widjabul Wia-bal, and it is right that the fine details were withheld, but the Executive Summary should have been released to the councillors to inform their decision making.

The Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment has now been released on the Rous website for those who want to become informed.

A decade has been wasted. Let us all encourage Rous staff to get on with the strategy as voted on by the councillors last December ‘20 and ratified in July ‘21.

OPINION 13

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION support this PLAN which is nothing more than talking points about doing nothing.

We have wasted more than a decade by not taking serious action.

John Drysdale Clunes DUNOON DAM If councillors in favour of the Dunoon Dam (DuD) are elected in December we will see several things happen.

1: Water resilience will collapse. The “10,000 signatures”, on which the pro-dam candidates base their political stance, demanded that all options be taken off the table except for a second dam on a small creek. Being completely dependent on increasingly erratic rainfall would intensify our climate risk.

2: Water shortages would be incurred soon because demand exceeds supply in 3 years but the dam could not possibly be built until at least 2030.

3: Local jobs which would have been boosted by diverse water options and long-term conservation measures (eg large-scale refitting) would be axed in favour of a short-term boost to a huge non-local company to build a dam.

4: Water rates would escalate rapidly to pay for a large one-off project. Government contributions are unlikely, leaving current rate-payers to foot the bill. The poorest people would be paying the most because water is non-discretionary, like food.

5: The Widjabul Wia-Bal people would be told yet again that their opinion does not matter.

The burial sites, which have been compared by

the Native Title Services Corp to the Juukan Cave in WA, would be lost.

The living heritage of our own citizens would be discarded.

6: The Endangered Ecological Community of Lowland Rainforest, part of the remaining 1% of the Big Scrub, would be severely reduced. In The Channon Gorge, the rare warm temperate rainforest on sandstone would be almost completely destroyed.

7: Opposition to the DuD, including direct action, would escalate, causing increased social division and unrest.

When a large dubious project lacks social licence the outcomes for local politicians pushing the project are never good.

There are plenty of alternatives to the DuD but the pro-dam candidates are going for the least efficient, most expensive, slowest and most reckless option for water in the future.

We can have more water more cheaply and more quickly without needing a dam or groundwater, just by water efficiencies alone. But the prodam ideologues are not interested.

We have a problem here with local would-be politicians who want to capitalise on anxiety about water in order to score political points. They are not genuinely interested in water security. This is easily proved by their refusal to discuss anything else than one unrealistic and unsafe option.

There is a terrific opportunity here to pull together to solve our water problems. It may be lost due to the political ambitions of a few cynical dog-whistlers.

Nan Nicholson The Channon AH THE TRAINS Well wouldn’t it be nice if we had a train on the north coast oh that’s right the Liberal National Party don’t want one. Given the price of petrol nearing 2 dollars a litre wouldn’t it be nice to have the train that you could get on from Grafton to the Gold Coast for twenty dollars return.

Less for pensioners and children instead of the roughly one hundred and fifty bucks return by road.

Not to mention that freight also could go by train as this too is affected by petrol prices.

Yes, it was John Howard and the liberal party that deregulated petrol in the mid-seventies now where at the behest of OPEC and furthermore we got rid of our oil refineries and only have three left in Australia. Time to get rid of the flat earth Clueless Liberal National Party at the next election and get the train back.

Alan Mosley Yamba HOT AIR AND SMELLY GASES As a former rural doctor and scientist, I am concerned about the National’s recent bizarre comments regarding their disbelief in possible methane reduction in the Australian lifestock industry and their ongoing reluctance to act on the need to change our outdated practices concerning energy, food, transport, and lifestyle, to remain safe and competitive.

My friend with a PhD in cattle nutrition and is managing nutrition in some of Australia’s largest feedlot, supporting the

Australian Beef industry to achieve its declared and achievable goal of net zero emissions by 2030 through many innovations, including adding seaweed which cuts methane emissions by over 80%. https:// www.beefcentral.com/ uncategorized/aus-beefindustry-leads-march-tonet-zero/ https://www. sustainableaustralianbeef. com.au/the-framework/ six-key-priorities/ managing-climate-changerisk/ It looks like our constituents understand the progress of science, the requirements of the market and the expectations of their customers and have long since accepted the need to change their practice, making Australian beef, meat and agricultural products world-leading not just in quality but in climate and environmental credentials.

Time for Kevin Hogan and the Nationals to accept the science and the declared will of their electorates, rural voters and farmers that suffer the most under the consequences of climate change and extreme weather events. https:// theconversation.com/ australias-farmers-wantmore-climate-actionand-theyre-startingin-their-own-hugebackyards-144792 Let’s get the job done, let’s bring Australia into the 21st Century with 21st Century products and production methods.

Cultivating talent by Nigel Dawe

MANY times, I’ve thought, the realm where pure talent most shines or comes to the fore, and can’t be feigned – is art and sport, in both ‘fields’ the pretenders get found out or left behind quick smart. There is nowhere to hide when you aren’t able to back up your ambitions or big claims with ability, the shortfall is always the cruel sum of inadequacy, or being seen as somehow lacking ‘what it takes’.

That said, there’s no surer way to rob yourself of whatever talent you might possess than by second guessing that talent and draining it of the power and potency it ‘lends’ to peak performance.

Afterall, the word itself rounds out with ‘lent’, implying our gifts are perhaps only ever fleetingly granted from elsewhere. As such, Leo Buscaglia once noted: “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.” The Nobel prizewinning novelist, Thomas Mann also very insightfully ‘unpacked’ talent, by saying: “For talent is nothing easy, nothing playful; it is not an ability to perform without more ado. At the root it is necessity, a critical knowledge of the ideal, an insatiability which creates and intensifies the ability it requires and does so at the cost of some torment.”

Relatedly, the origin of the word ‘passion’ means ‘to suffer’. I remember reading a comment by Michelangelo, in which he stated: “If people realised how hard I worked, and the amount of time I devoted to my work, they perhaps wouldn’t find what I

do that impressive at all.” Which is a very humble and selfeffacing admission by the Renaissance master, but also a ‘pointer’ as to how we can each extract, refine, or best put to use the talent we have.

For all its paraded mystique, a talent realised, is equal part nature and equal part nurture; like the seed of an exotic plant, it remains just an unfulfilled possibility without the required, albeit correct amount of provided sunlight, soil, and water.

Boris Pasternak once attentively remarked: “What is striking is that innate talent is like a child’s model of the Universe, planted in your heart from infancy, a school manual on how to understand the world from within, from its finest and most astounding side.”

A ‘baby step’, albeit a subtle instructional warning away from Pasternak’s gleaming thought line, are the equally grounding sentiments of John Wooden: “Talent is God-given. Be humble.

Fame is man-given.

Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”

The biggest tragedy in life, I often think, is seeing people who have never made the effort to find and harness their talents; and what heightens that tragedy, is that sometimes we are made to feel less than capable, or even ridiculous in terms of what we consider our talent to be. Like an emboldening catchcry, if not a wild plea through the dark, Henry Van Dyke once urged: “Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.”

EXPAND PAY PARKING, MAKE IT FREE FOR LOCALS Byron Shire Mayor, Michael Lyon has announced his team’s first detailed policy position ahead of Council elections in December.

Speaking on behalf of the Byron Independents team for Council, Mayor Lyon said, “Expanding pay parking in other towns in the Shire like Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby will be essential to ensure that our visitors pay their fair share towards our infrastructure costs in the coming years.

We have seen a bonanza of investment from the State Government over the last few years, including $20 million towards roads and $5 million in recognition of our visitor economy and the impact that has on infrastructure.

We cannot, however, assume this funding will continue and responsible financial management means ensuring our more than 2 million visitors per year make a contribution toward community infrastructure. All indications are that the number of visitors will grow substantially over the coming years and increasingly they are coming to towns like Mullumbimby.

“Our shire relies on tourism, our businesses and staff are beneficiaries, as are the State and Federal Governments in terms of GST revenue, but the one organisation that generally misses out and is left footing the bill for the impacts is Council.

With ideas like a bed tax or tourism levy being ruled out by the State

Byron Shire Mayor, Michael Lyon

Government, Council is left with few options in terms of raising the funds needed to meet community expectations around service delivery.

We raised rates at the start of this current Council term which has seen great results in terms of investment in neglected roads, but we cannot expect our community to contribute more than they are already.

“We know that Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby are already congested and finding a park is difficult most of the time.

Ultimately, congestion is the trigger for Council to implement pay parking and given the trend toward increased visitation to our region, it is essential we have the right business model for dealing with the impacts.

Money raised in these towns should be spent in these towns so that all of our community can benefit from our visitation.

“In recognition of how tough times are in the shire, particularly for workers in the midst of the housing emergency, we do not want this to impact any further

on already stretched finances, therefore we are proposing that as part of the review of the pay parking scheme Shirewide, that we remove the $55 charge for locals.

The expansion of the scheme plus potential increases in the hourly rate will far outweigh in revenue terms this small concession to our locals.

“Consideration should also be given to potential discounts for regional day-trippers from neighbouring shires like Tweed, Ballina and Lismore and I have lodged a notice of motion to Council on Thursday to discuss the possibility and merits of this. The other factor is ensuring that there is enough parking on the peripheries of towns like Mullumbimby to ensure local workers and shoppers are catered for.

“I’ve been running businesses for over 20 years and Council is no different in that you need to ensure you have the ongoing revenue to pay the bills. It works best when those responsible for the costs, in this case visitors, are required to make a contribution to them”, Mayor Lyon said.

“I NEVER THOUGHT I’D NEED THE RESCUE HELICOPTER… BUT I’M SO GRATEFUL IT WAS THERE FOR ME” Please consider donating to our Summer Appeal and be part of every mission we fly.

Plan to minimise flood hazard “FLOOD PLAN” MUST DO MORE THAN PLANT TREES MAYORAL candidate Steve Krieg said that our town deserves a real plan, not an ideological driven agenda.

“Lismore is the most flood affected community in Australia, with over 130 floods in 150 years of official records,” Mr Krieg said.

“Flooding is a very emotional topic for me, my business and my family’s livelihood were thrown into complete disarray because of the 2017 flood.

“It is close to five years since the flood, and nothing of value has been achieved by Greens Mayor Vanessa Ekins as Chair of the Floodplain Committee.

“After all this time,

they are now saying the answer is to plant more trees up the river – it is simply ridiculous.

“We need a comprehensive, independent plan for flood mitigation across the whole catchment.

“Council should be listening to the experience and knowledge of locals, and working together to provide solutions to some of these bigger issues.

“For example, Our Future Northern Rivers are a local community group who have spent a lot of time gathering data on this issue, but seem to be constantly ignored and overlooked by council.”

LISMORE City Council has started the preparation of a new Flood Risk Management Plan that will identify the measures designed to minimise the community’s exposure to flood hazard.

The Floodplain Management Committee, which is overseeing the preparation of the new Flood Risk Management Plan, met last week with Engeny Water Management, which has been engaged by council to prepare the new plan.

The committee has focused on increased preparedness and education on flooding and to create new strategies such as nature-based solutions to mitigate the flood threat further upstream before it hits the Lismore urban areas.

Principal Engineer

Free solar - savings up to $600 on electricity bills

of Engeny Water Management, Mark Page, said the initial investigation had resulted in viable options that now need further analysis.

“All the initial work to understand flood behaviour and find risks has resulted in us developing preliminary measures to reduce the risk of flooding to the community,” he said.

“Now it’s time to engage with the community, gain feedback and ultimately develop the recommendations on how Lismore can manage the flood risk to the community.

“Crucial parts of the plan is getting the education and preparation right prior to a flood event and ensuring the messaging is clear during a flood.”

The NSW Government is trialling a new way to assist people on low incomes with their power bills by installing free solar systems for up to 3,000 eligible households in place of their Low Income Household Rebate. This program aims to improve energy affordability by helping households unlock long terms savings on their electricity bills.

While this means you will no longer receive the $285 annual rebate on your electricity bill, you could receive up to $600 in savings per year from your new solar system!

The program is only available to a limited number of households that live in the region and meet the eligibility criteria. When participating in this program households will receive a free, fully installed 3kW solar system in place of their Low Income Household Rebate.

SAE Group are the only approved provider, designing and installing solar systems to eligible homes across Northern NSW. To be eligible you must: • Currently be receiving the Low Income Household Rebate • Agree not to receive the rebate for ten years • Own your own home • Not already have a solar PV system • Use at least 3600 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity in a year • Live in the North Coast of NSW • Hold a valid Pensioner Concession Card or a Department of Veteran Affairs Gold Card If you are not the registered homeowner, but your spouse is, you may be considered eligible collectively as a household.

A 3kW system is designed to generate an average of 12.6kwh per day, which will deliver electricity savings depending on each households energy consumption. Managing Director of SAE Group Glen Ashton comments “We know electricity bills continue to place a lot of pressure on households, and we are pleased to be working with the NSW Government to help ease the pressure on low income households.”

SAE Group are a locally owned and operated organisation with more than ten years’ experience in the solar industry. SAE Group are a Clean Energy Council Approved Retailer, and hold accreditations ISO 9001, AS/NZS4801 for safety and quality systems.

Safety is paramount to us, and it our goal to ensure we provide quality solar systems to eligible households that will deliver ongoing savings for many years to come.

the proposals coming forward to the community will include both structural and nonstructural options.

“The community will have a variety of options such as nonstructural options which are non-engineering solutions that include land use planning and flood emergency management, while the options for physical measures that involve structural work include nature-based solutions, widening flood plains and drainage and levees,” he said.

The next steps in the plan will be investigating flood mitigation using nature-based solutions, looking at the role of community responses to floods and initial community engagement and feedback.

‘Plan not sufficient to protect community’ INDEPENDENT mayoral candidate Patrick Healey said Lismore City Council’s Flood Mitigation Plan would not protect the city or our community against future floods.

“If we are to Grow Lismore into a prosperous and vibrant city, we need a flood mitigation plan that is based on more than planting trees which is what our council wants to do,” he said.

“To take engineering solutions off the table will inhibit our chances of gaining State Government grants and delay any flood protection for another 10

to 15 years.

“The Independent Lismore team believes all options should be on the table, including modern engineering solutions.

“Otherwise, our community will once again be devastated by flooding.

“South and North Lismore will be left particularly vulnerable, as will our industrial zones.

“We need to protect these areas to ensure that we can attract businesses that will create jobs in our community.”

The passing of a truck magnate

By Samantha Elley THE name Reg Mills is synonymous with road transport on the Northern Rivers.

Reginald Vincent Mills passed away on October 19, but his life was one of service to his local area through the company, Mills Transport, founded by his grandfather Archibald James Mills in 1924.

By the time Reg retired in 2015, he had worked with four generations of his family and seen many changes to the industry from when he had joined the family company in 1964.

Born in Murwillumbah in 1940, Reg grew up in Burringbar, then when he left school he worked for a local accountancy firm for a short period before working for Price Waterhouse as an auditor in Sydney and Brisbane.

The pull of the family firm, however, became strong and he headed back home to work with his father and grandfather for six months in 1964.

Six months turned into 51 years when he finally hung up his trucking cap to spend more time sailing, fishing, gardening and with his six beloved

grandchildren.

At the start of Reg’s time as Director and Company Secretary of Mills Transport, he moved the head office from Murwillumbah to Lismore.

The smaller concern soon grew and Reg put his strong analytical skills into bringing better technology, efficiencies and sustainabilities, not just to his own business, but that of his clients and the industry in general.

“The 70s was the heyday of the trucking industry and Dad was on the cusp of that transition,” said daughter Tracey.

“He liked meeting people as well and enjoyed speaking to clients to work on ways to make their business better.”

By the time Reg had taken charge of Mills Transport, road transport had opened up and rules for interstate trade had eased.

“We started a daily service to Brisbane and then weekly to Sydney,” said daughter Leonie.

“The old trucks had no air-conditioning, no suspension, and no sleeper cab.”

By the 1970s roads had improved, trucks were more comfortable and faster, so Mills Transport

increased their service to the Sydney to two times a week and then every day.

The big green Mills trucks were a common sight on the Pacific Highway as the reputation of the company as a reliable regional carrier was strengthened.

In 2015, the Mills group of companies divested themselves of their road transport assets and Reg retired.

In 2016, he was inducted into the Transport Hall of Fame in Alice Springs.

“He was quietly proud of that achievement,” said Leonie.

Reg’s achievements were long and included serving on state industry member associations at an executive level for nearly 30 years; introduction of the Mulitlift system for cane transportation to the three NSW sugar mills; registration of the third B-Double in NSW; and membership of Team200 which became TruckSafe and had accreditation to the only carrier operating the Fatigue Management Pilot Programme on the Pacific Highway.

He was also the founding chairman of regional carrier consortium, CDM

Logistics and helped forge a business partnership with the Woods family to create Burkes Haulage.

Reg consulted for the NSW Government on the development of the Chinderah-Yelgun motorway.

He was a member of the Southern Cross University Foundation Board which looked into ways the university could foster dynamic regional communities and chaired the Foundation’s $24 million

“Communities for the Future” fundraising campaign.

Reg was involved with Rotary and the Tweed Economic Development Board.

“He believed if you have enough influence to effect change then you should,” said Tracey.

Reg and his company forged a great relationship with Kenworth dealership Brown and Hurley of Kyogle, who supplied all the Mills trucks.

“The association

between Mills Transport and Brown & Hurley began with the sale of Leyland trucks in the sixties,” said Brown & Hurley Director, Kev Hurley in a tribute to Freight News.

“The association still goes on today with third generation Mills family members purchasing equipment from our company.

“Reg’s father Eric became close personal friends of Alan Brown and my father Jack Hurley.

“This close friendship still exists today between Reg, his brother Kelvin and Rob Brown and myself and our families.”

Reg leaves behind his wife Judith, daughters Tracey and Leonie, sons-in-laws Mark and David, and his six grandchildren, Caroline, Harriet, Charlotte, Georgina, Thomas and Emilie.

His funeral was held last Thursday at St Andrews Anglican Church, Lismore.

Historic anniversary for history society

By Tim Howard THE Clarence River Historical Society can’t let its 90th anniversary go without some sort of celebration.

The society has issued invitations to an open day to be held on November 18 to celebrate the event.

Originally the society planned the open day as part of a week of celebrations culminating with a lunch on the actual anniversary date, November 20.

But society president Steve Tranter said uncertainty with Covid-19 restrictions, which included the prospective guest speaker under lockdown, had convinced the society to curtail its plans.

He said the society decided to postpone the lunch but go ahead with the open day.

It will throw open its doors of its headquarters

at Schaeffer House to the public with an optional gold coin donation.

Mr Tranter said there would be a short formal section between 9.45am and 10.30am for speeches and cutting of a cake, after which the CVHMMS is a home and public wouldcare be free to community service CVHMMS is a home and assisting the frail aged, inspect the ishistorical community care service CVHMMS a home and peopleatwith a disability assisting the frail aged, community care service displays Schaeffer andwith their carers assisting theafrail aged, people disability House. to and remain safely people with acarers disability theirliving and their carers in their own homes. remain living safely MrtoTranter said the remain living safely their own homes. opentoin day would be a in their own homes.

Coincidentally he has been working to document the significance of the society’s collection.

“I’ve got two pages done so far and the way it’s going it looks like it might be 15 pages by the time I’ve finished,” Mr Tranter said.

While the search through the archives has turned up many worthy items about leading figures like Sir Earle Page there were lots of

interesting information about figures who were important in their time, but have faded from the limelight like the brilliant scientists Elizabeth Essex-Cohen or Ruby Payne-Scott.

And there were other finds which were just downright quirky.

“There was a Grafton photographer of the 19th Century, Karl Uhlers, who was as well known in his day as Walter Lindt,” Mr Tranter said.

“On one occasion some ground fire brought down a Fokker behind our lines and one of Grafton boys cut off a section of the plane and brought it home as a souvenir.”

Mr Tranter said there was a commercial motive as well as historic to his work.

He said he had been asked for copies of his work, when finished, to help publicise the society’s collection.

Mr Tranter also flagged big changes in the future for the society as it searched for bigger premises to enable it to display more of its collection.

One site discussed was the old Grafton jail where the historic section of the jail could be used to house the society’s exhibits.

Frisky feline creates fuss on Facebook

By Tonia Dynan A CASINO’S woman’s hunt for her fur baby’s sugar daddy has made more than a few people smile.

Stephanie Blackburn took a Casino Facebook group to try and find the male Casanova that had seduced her cat and left her with another mouth to feed.

“So, this is odd, but I’m wondering if any one near or on Hotham St owns a male big fluffy black and white cat?” she asked.

“A few months ago, when we first moved in, he started meowing at our windows for our girl.

“We thought we kept them apart but two days ago our girl gave birth to a small black and white kitten... yes just the one.

“We rushed her to the

vet thinking, ‘where is the rest’, but nope she just had this little guy so I thought it would be a good laugh for us and the owner if we could find him as he was the sweetest boy, loved to hang out with us.

“And well since our girl has had her son, we haven’t seen him… how odd.”

Ms Blackburn said her indoor frisky feline is now set to be desexed.

“She got out, like I mean flew past me and took off, was missing for eight hours and showed up with her now missing boyfriend,” she said.

“And the little one will be desexed and chipped, vaccinations done. His mum was due to be when she got out.

“Don’t worry, the last thing we wanted was for more cats for the world.

We will be keeping her

son.

“I was just trying to share a funny story.”

Ms Blackburn shared some cure snaps of mum and bub.

“Maybe his father will see them,” she joked.

Among the responses to the post, including many jokes of kitten child support, one resident raised the issue of people leaving their cats to roam at night.

“There’s forever cats out roaming, setting off my security light in Hotham St,” the resident said.

“Wish people would keep their cats indoors so I can stop thinking people are snooping around my house.”

Another resident joked: “Only one kitten.

He must of went away quicker than he came around.”

North Coast on the vaccination home stretch NORTH Coast Covid-19 vaccination figures indicate more than 90 per cent of people aged 15 years and over in our region will be fully vaccinated by midNovember.

As travel restrictions ease across NSW from 1 November the region is now better prepared and protected to deal with the expected influx of visitors.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Officer Julie Sturgess said the region had made great progress in recent weeks.

Healthy North Coast’s latest figures show that first doses across the region are currently at 92 per cent and second doses – meaning fully vaccinated – are at 74 per cent.

“Second dose coverage is still a bit behind the NSW rate, however this is to be expected as the North Coast is playing catch up due to earlier supply constraints,” Ms Sturgess said.

‘The good news is that second dose coverage in the LGAs of Byron, Lismore, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour and Nambucca has increased by eight per cent since last week.

“Bellingen, Ballina, Kempsey and Richmond Valley increased by seven per cent. Tweed, Kyogle and Port MacquarieHastings rose by six per cent.

Spring clean your way into summer with a visit to your CRC

Invasive Species Council CEO Andrew Cox with award winners general manager Louise Orr, who accepted the award on behalf of the North Coast Local Land Services, and Scott Charlton, Manager Invasive Species Programs, representing Department of Primary Industries.

Yellow crazy ant action earns biosecurity gong SUCCESSFUL efforts to eradicate yellow crazy ants from NSW have been honoured with a 2020 Australian Biosecurity Award.

The award went to the NSW Department of Primary Industries and the North Coast Local Land Services, who coordinated the eradication effort.

Yellow crazy ants are on the list of 100 of the world’s worst invasive species and can swarm in great numbers, killing much larger animals like lizards, frogs, small mammals, turtle hatchlings and bird chicks.

A Lismore local, Milo Yeigh, first spotted the ants in the city’s CBD in May 2018, earning him one of our 2019 Froggatt Awards.

Further investigation revealed the ants had spread across 19 hectares of the city.

The ants were also detected at Terania Creek north of Lismore and close to the world heritage listed Nightcap National Park.

This infestation

is believed to have originated from the transfer of building materials from Lismore.

Over 18 months the NSW Department of Primary Industries and North Coast Local Land Services carried out an intensive biosecurity response that included treatment and surveillance as well as the use of Australia’s first yellow crazy ant detector dog, Jet. Six hundred residents within 10km of the two infestations received a letter asking them to check for yellow crazy ants.

The results indicate eradication of the ants from the two areas has been achieved to a 70 per cent level of confidence but locals will need to stay vigilant for any undetected yellow crazy ant nests for a number of years.

The nomination was made by the Invasive Species Council.

The award winners were announced at the ABARES Outlook Conference dinner in Canberra on Tuesday,

March 3.

Supporting agencies included the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Rous County Council, Lismore City Council and Wollongbar cattle tick inspection staff.

Two local environmental consultants, Envite and Reconeco, were engaged while Landcare, the NSW Rural Fire Service, SES and other community volunteers assisted with surveillance.

The highly invasive yellow crazy ants are a serious threat to tropical and subtropical areas in northern Australia and are found on Christmas Island, Arnhem Land and parts of coastal Queensland where they are under a mix of eradication, containment and control.

The Invasive Species Council is working with Townsville Council to eradicate the ant from the Townsville area.

This great effort by householders has resulted in huge saving to the community and their councils of more than $1.5 million.

These household problem waste items should never go into your kerbside bins, were they have the potential to harm people and the environment through explosion, fire and the pollution of ground water if they end up in landfill.

Your local CRC is the ‘right place for this problem waste.

So whether you’re moving house, renovating your home or just having a good old spring clean, take the

HOUSEHOLD problem waste items including batteries, smoke detectors, oils and paint being dropped off for free at a local CRC. opportunity this National Recycling Week (8th to 15th November) or in fact any week of the year, to drop off household problem waste for FREE by visiting your local CRC.

Popular skate park to undergo repairs THE popular Goonellabah Skate Park off Oliver Avenue will have sections of the park closed for up to four days from Monday, November to improve the surface areas of the park.

Sections of the park will be fenced off during repairs and community members are asked not to enter those areas until the works are completed, and to only use sections not fenced off.

Manager of Liveable and Active Communities Tony Duffy said the

repairs will improve the park for users.

“The work will improve the park’s durability and ensure it remains a popular and safe place for our community,” he said.

“Repairs will focus on smoothing the surface of roll out and banked areas, coloured tinted sealer and epoxy repairs to cracks throughout the skatepark.”

Since it opened in 2009, Council has scheduled regular repairs to ensure the longevity of the park.

Clubhouse supports youth bounce back CLUBHOUSE Lismore stands ready to help young people bounce back from the pandemic and is encouraging youth to get out of the house and back into the clubhouse to see their friends.

Lismore Clubhouse has re-opened and Clubhouse Ballina is opening reopening. Social Futures is the not-for-profit organisation that runs the two youth clubhouses.

Lismore Clubhouse youth worker Sean Spencer says youth in the Northern Rivers have suffered because of the lockdowns and the pandemic.

“I’ve kept in touch with the young people and parents and the pandemic has had some severe impacts on young people,” Mr Spencer said.

“It’s been heart-

breaking to hear some of the stories about some young people and the negative impacts the pandemic has had on them. Some of the young people don’t want to come out of their house and are now really withdrawn – super withdrawn even from their own families.

“Some of them have

gone nocturnal. Their sleeping patterns are out.

They are not sleeping properly, they are up all night on screens, they even see the sun come up.”

Social Futures’ Family Connect and Support service, which helps school children and their families facing challenges, says a third

of its referrals now concern children who don’t want to go back to school post-lockdown.

“It goes across all ages of children from primary to teens, and often affects children who may have been struggling a little before the pandemic, but now they are dealing with increased anxiety and are really struggling

to go to school,” said Family Connect and Support manager Fiona Halligan.

“This is down to many factors, many families have historical trauma and other things going on in the home, but Covid has added another layer of complexity.

“Not going to school, being at home and isolated from friends and learning has aggravated pre-existing anxiety for many children. It’s also of course been challenging for parents, trying to work and do home schooling.”

The Family Connect and Support program and the clubhouse are supporting young people to return to their prepandemic routines.

Social Futures also delivers the Headspace youth mental health service in Lismore

and Tweed Heads and Mijung Jarjums Kids and Mind, which supports children and young people up to 18 years who are at risk of developing mental illness, and their families.

Mr Spencer said prepandemic the clubhouse had an ‘awesome happening vibe’ and he was keen to welcome back the 10 to 20 young people who regularly dropped in afterschool and newcomers. Since the Lismore lockdown only about five youth a day have been attending.

Clubhouse Lismore is open 3.30pm to 6pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday and youth can visit on a drop-in basis.

It runs from the basement of the Lismore Music Conservatorium, at 152 Keen St, Lismore.

Keeping Tenterfield cemetery safe River Street works TENTERFIELD Shire Council wishes to remind all visitors to the Tenterfield Cemetery of some important safety requirements.

A recent audit of the grounds has found a large number of items that are identified as prohibited. Council appreciates the sensitive nature and emotional attachment to many of these items and their relationship to your loved one; unfortunately, as these items pose a

risk to council workers, maintenance workers and visitors, to ensure the continued up-keep and maintenance of the Cemetery, all prohibited items will need to be removed.

Council has no option and will soon begin the removal and disposal process of all glass articles. If any of the items are of sentimental value, please remove them immediately. All other items will be removed

to a basket located at the new storage shed for collection or later disposal.

In particular, the following items pose a risk and are not permitted in the cemetery; glass vases, statues, pot plants, lights and any other article other than flowers.

Special care should be taken on the cemetery grounds to ensure a safe and peaceful environment for all.

Activities such as

damaging, disturbing or interfering with any structure, flowers or plant are prohibited, and animals are not permitted to be taken on the grounds (unless required for assistance).

A complete list of prohibited items and activities can be found at the entrance to the cemetery.

For further, contact Tenterfield Shire Council on 6736 6000.

nearing completion BALLINA Shire Council is pleased to advise the road construction component of the River Street Duplication is nearing completion.

The final asphalt overlay has been applied to outbound lane of the River Street Duplication, with the line-making of outbound lanes scheduled for the week of November 1 (weather and site conditions dependent).

Landscaping of the median and approaches has started and will continue into early 2022.

Temporary lane/road closures and associated detours will be required when landscaping is underway.

“Leemo’s View” New look and feel events “LEEMO has views on just about anything”

LEEMO… a Prodigy?

Hmmm ‘LEEMO CAT’ writing again. I asked ‘Mum Jane’, was I, perhaps, a Kitten Prodigy...Mum, pleease tell me how brilliant a kitten I was, and the special traits I had that marked me indelibly as a ‘Prodigy’. She gave me a rather fixed stare, but I suspected her mind was probably in a quandary sorting the numerous talents I had manifested as a kitten. I waited. Mum spoke. “Leems, do you know what a Prodigy is per chance”? Hmm. I told her I KINDA knew. It means being very clever, attractive, wise and talented.

(Like me!) Hmmm...

Mum pondered more.

‘Well, Leems, the real interpretation of a Prodigy is a child (I ‘spose, posssssssibly a kitten) younger than 10 years old who shows astounding proficiency in one or more artistic or academic fields.’

‘Ooooh...well Mum, what proficiencies did “I” exhibit?’ More ponders. ‘Leems, let me give you some examples. Wolfgang Mozart was a prodigy, playing songs on the harpsichord at 4 years old. Hungarian chess grandmaster Judit Polgar was playing in tournaments at age 6. American Gregory Smith memorized and recited books and could add at 18 months old. The

Russian Prodigy, Elisey Mysin also at only 4, began playing piano Concertos.

What piffle I thought and meditated deeply....surely there were things I excelled at apart from poxy old music and reading and sums. Let me think. AHA...it started coming to me...‘Mum, remember even as a tiny wee kitten I always knew where my food bowls were even with my eyes shut? I also caught a tissue when I was only 3 months old. AND, remember how adept I was at climbing trees and re-potting our indoor pot plants by simply leaping in them and digging?

And hiding? And what about my ability to communicate to you with my melodious voice, (almost Opera standard actually) letting you know exactly what I needed?

Frankly, Mum didn’t look too impressed and told me to stop.

“Leems, in all truth, I honestly don’t feel any of these feats would stand comparison as a Prodigy to someone playing piano concertos at aged 4... do you?” Hmmmm...I felt very sad and upset. I expressed this by looking at Mum with my most excellent ever ‘Tiny Tim’ look... and conjured up a tear or two, at the same time emitting a kinda sniffle sob. CRIKEY... that got action. Mum put me on a soft cushion, and told me whilst stroking me “Leems, I think you are the most excellent feline in the whole world. Maybe if we’d had a piano or a chess set you would have exhibited much talent.

However, we didn’t.

I let you down in the Prodigy arena. I’m sorry Leems. Let me fix you a bowl of nifty treats and put ‘Bluey’ on our TV..there there now my beautiful boy”.

(Pssst...I reckon I’m an ACTING Prodigy... so there!) Purrsy good night, Leemo.

program set for the Tweed

By Margaret Dekker AN award-winning regional tourism group has been appointed to devise a new four-year Event Strategy for the Tweed, from 2022-2026.

Toowoomba-based Tilma Group, with national expertise in regional event management, fought off three other strong contenders for the top job with Tweed Shire Council, with the central brief to take a “holistic view of event development in the shire, “With the view to clearly establish the status of the event sector, the opportunities and challenges for growth, and the right mix of events to attract, retain and nurture,” a TSC report to councillors read.

Linda Tillman, Chief Tourism Visionary with Tilma Group, told The Northern Rivers Times she’s particularly thrilled to create this for the Tweed as she’s a born and bred Alstonville girl and studied in Lismore.

“I’m really looking forward to getting my teeth into it. We’ve worked with so many great regions all over Australia over the past fifteen years, I just love it, and to work with Tweed communities, we hope to get the best events for the Tweed,” Linda said.

While Linda is yet to formally start the

huge task, she and her colleague, global tourism developer Kushla Gale, who both studied at Southern Cross University in Lismore, are already eyeing off renowned sectors in the Tweed for inspiration.

“What’s the role of events in the Tweed and the maximum outcome of events, while still being environmentally and socially responsible?”

Linda posed.

Music, sport, aquatics, health and wellness, wilderness and the hinterland, food and

food-trails are among the starting points as Tilma Goup also aims to work with established Tweed tourism and destination brands.

“Everything is on the table, events are a really good way to activate brand,” Linda said.

“And Covid has forced us to look at things differently as we come out of the pandemic, with not as many big gatherings, people being used to being at home, how do we apply that new experience to events in the Tweed?” Linda asked.

Tilma Group is charged with reviewing existing event information in the Tweed, before preparing the new strategy.

Linda and Kushla will interview stakeholders across business and tourism, locals, and widely consult before finalising a Tweed Shire Events Strategy and action plan for Council adoption, expected by April 2022.

“We haven’t started to dive into that yet .. but this is all the fun we’re about to have,” Linda enthusiastically said.

Council allocates $45,000 for community donations

By Tonia Dynan COMMUNITY groups in the Tenterfield area will benefit from a total of $45,000 in contributions and donations from Tenterfield Shire Council.

School presentation nights were among the donations, as were Learn to Swim transport, the Westpac Helicopter Rescue Service, and the Tabulam SES. Hall committees also

received donations as did the Tenterfield Highlander Pipe Band. $1000 was contributed towards the purchase of a Huskvana TS242 TXDX 42 inch cut mower for the SSAA Tenterfield and another $1000 towards the purchase of a 22,500L water tank at the Tenterfield Showgrounds. $1000 went to the Tenterfield Show Society for the 2022 Tenterfield Autumn Festival, $500 to the CWA Tenterfield

branch for their luncheon to celebrate 100 years of CWA NSW, and $800 to the Rotary and Lions clubs for their annual Christmas Carnival.

The largest donation was for $3000 to the Seniors Week Committee to help fund Seniors Week activities.

The Tenterfield Community College also received some funding, as did the Bolivia Progress Association Inc, the Urbenville Progress Association Inc, the

Steinbrook Progress Association and many more.

Missing out on funding was the Probus Club, the Tenterfield Chamber of Tourism, Industry and Business, the Torrington Memorial Hall, Tenterfield High School, Legume Progress Association and Jubullum.

Council received 33 applications for the funding.

Show saddling up for a big day

By Margaret Dekker WITH the historic Tweed River Agricultural Show forced to cancel again this year, organisers haven’t given up, instead taking the horse by the reins to stage the Murwillumbah Horse and Pony Big Day Out this Saturday, November 6 on what would’ve been main Show Day. Peter McDonald, President of the Tweed River Agricultural Show Society, said more than 100 riders had already registered for the Big Day Out horse event and late entries might be considered in the Breed Classes, Led Classes, Hacks and Hunters, Rider Classes, Beginner Ring and Sporting competition events leading up to Saturday.

“We’ll still be full steam ahead in the competition offering with judges, stewards and volunteers all booked and committed,” Peter said.

“And no doubt there’ll be the mums and dads, and supporters coming along but we have no expectations about spectator numbers at this stage!”

Peter and wife Marissa McDonald told The Northern Rivers Times “they really didn’t have much choice, with Covid

taking the decision out of their hands,” but to cancel the two-day annual show, a major event on the TweedMurwillumbah calendar, for the second time in as many years.

“Crowd numbers had to be limited, and the public health order requirement of being double-vaccinated was another issue on top of that,” Peter said.

The Queensland border closure compounded the problem with many participants in the Show categories – from show

jumping and poultry, to stud beef and dairy cattle - plus many judges, sideshow operators and entrants in competitions from best banana and sugarcane, to needlework and preserves, unable to travel from or back to Queensland.

“It just got all too jolly hard,” Marissa McDonald, Show Secretary said.

‘Band, Beer and Burgers!’

To help drown their sorrows, or at least make use of the Show’s costly

liquor licence, organisers will throw open ‘The Branding Rail’ bar at the Showgrounds this Saturday night for the inaugural ‘Band, Beer and Burgers’ social do, straight after the horse event, for some longoverdue fun, frivolity and familiar country faces.

“To have a night for socialising with some music and fun, which none of us have been able to do for so long, we’ve been starved of that socialisation really,” Peter said.

“The spirit of Agricultural Shows is still alive and well, but as I’m certain with all Show Committees, we have had to adapt as well.”

Byron Bay’s Pink Zink Presents - “a four-piece band playing a mixture of Rock, Pop, Funk and Soul music, sure to get you up and dancing” - will perform with Spangled Dog Brewing Co and Husk Distillers providing the beverages.

TRAS wishes to acknowledge and thank all the wonderful sponsors who have

made it possible to bring The Rivers Equine Vets Big Day Out, as the Committee already starts to dream about the longawaited 120th Tweed River Agricultural Show on November 4-5, 2022.

By then, it’ll be three years in the hoping, and making.

“It’ll be the most wellplanned show, ever!”

Marissa laughed. $15 tickets to the Band, Beer and Burger night can be purchased at www.123tix.com. au. Gate opens at 5pm, children go free.

FUNDING FOR NAUGHTONS GAP Our Sustainable Future RICHMOND Valley Council’s Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements claim for damage to Naughtons Gap Road has been approved for upper limit funding of $4,335,445.

Ongoing monitoring and design work will lead to an estimated construction start date in early 2022, with works anticipated to be completed by late 2022.

Benns Road, Shannon Brook, is in line for a major upgrade following a $1,039,500 Fixing Local Roads grant. Total cost of the project is $1,386,000, with council tipping in $346,500.

Benns Road has significant heavy freight numbers servicing

the grain processing business, as well as local rural and residential properties. The project

involves repairing and rehabilitating three sections of pavement which have come under

stress from increasing heavy vehicle use.

The sections total 2.3km in length, with two of the sections being on bends and crests where the pavement condition is a high risk with two-way traffic in those areas. The third section is sealing an unsealed section into the major grain processing industry.

Our $465,100 claim for damage on Bungawalbin-Whiporie Road, Lagoon Road bridge approaches, Bailey Street and Coombell Road was also approved, as well as $14,506 for Main Camp culvert reconstruction works.

The magic of mediation in resolving personal conflict

By Margaret Dekker IT’S the fashionable alternative to long and costly court proceedings that’s fast-gaining recognition in resolving interpersonal conflict.

Mediation is increasingly the goto for partners, parents, employees, even neighbours who are at painful odds over myriad disputes like divorce or separation, custody, property settlement, commercial even workplace disputes, who want it sorted sooner than later.

Tweed Heads mediator Jimilla Houghton said mediation can make the difference between stagnating or moving forward.

“The whole purpose of mediation is a neutral, third party comes in and gives both parties the opportunity and space so they come up with their own solutions,” Jimilla explained.

She said the tenets of mediation are listening, validating people’s feelings then reframing language, and instead of fixing the situation, guide the parties involved to find their own solutions.

“Let’s help get you both to the other side of the bridge, and end this conflict,” she said.

Various agreements can be reached during mediation including heads of agreements and parenting plans and while not legally binding, they can be taken to solicitors to get drawn up into legal documents such as contracts, consent orders or binding financial agreements.

Herself a former Family lawyer on the Gold Coast, Jimilla completed high-level training watched by the Mediator Standards Board to join the ranks as a professional mediator, many of whom retrain after careers in law or psychology.

She credits former supervisors now mentors Bobbi Reilly and Robyn Hooworth from Global Professional Development as role-models in the art of successful mediation.

“You’re dealing with people’s lives, so you need to know what you’re doing and be responsible. A conversation is facilitated so that each party can share their side of the story and ultimately be guided through the process to negotiate an outcome to end their dispute.

There’s a high-level of duty of care,” Jimilla explained.

Especially with Family Dispute Resolution where parents are charged with making decisions of who their children will live with and how they’ll spend time with each parent.

“When you give people knowledge of what is deemed to be acting in the best interest of the child, parents can make good decisions,” she said.

“And the best people to make a decision about a child or children are the parents,” Jimilla, a nationally accredited FDR practitioner, said.

Jimilla believes with parenting matters, rather than head to court – which can take up to a year and involve barristers and a judge – mediation can help parents achieve what they’re capable of deciding themselves all along.

“What mediation does is it puts the onus back on the person .. ‘now let’s make the best decision rather than have a judge, who’s

never met you or your kids, make that decision for you.’”

And always with the rights of a child at the fore.

“Parents have responsibilities but it’s the children who have the rights, and it is that child’s right to have a meaningful relationship with both parents,” Jimilla reminded.

“Reframing the conversation to the parents to ask, ‘not what you need, but what does this child

need?”

Safe spaces can also be arranged for mediation to take place, like an online ‘zoom’ call or ‘shuffle rooms’ where the mediator moves between the two rooms and parties.

“That has given people a lot of freedom,” Jimilla said.

Freedom to talk, listen, and at last be heard. In all her years practising, one observation is true for Jimilla and that is the relief a person gets – that ‘ahah’ moment -

when he or she is finally heard.

“That’s the magic, when someone is heard, because they’ve held on to that hurt for so long and it’s finally acknowledged,” Jimilla said.

“There is never one absolute winner but if you can accept the basic principles of share arrangements, you can move forward.”

Jimilla’s also observed the irony of clients finally letting go.

“It can actually be a good thing!

What if Plan-B turns out to be better than Plan-A ever was?” she asked.

It’s recommended people get legal advice prior to mediation and in property settlement disputes, parties must be prepared to fully disclose all assets and liabilities.

City to Surf is no monkey business…or is it?

By Samantha Elley ONE area affected by the Covid-19 restrictions was the annual City to Surf fun run in Sydney.

This meant a certain few local gorillas were unable to do their regular fund-raising for the Leukaemia Foundation as easily has they have in

This did not deter Paul Stanley-Jones of Woodburn, however, as still donned the gorilla costume and did the City to Surf virtually.

that was to be expected.

“We still managed to raise $1550 in one week.”

Sadly, Paul ran as a single gorilla this year as his brother Rob and son Harry were unable to leave Sydney in time for the run on October 24. “(It) was a first for me but to top it off, it was 33

degrees,” said Paul.

“The hottest run we had had in the past 36 years was 24 degrees, so that’s another record!”

Paul did the run around Lake Kimberley at Banora point, where his wife Michelle’s parents live.

“It’s a 1.25km track around the lake so we

had to do 11 or so laps,” said Paul.

“Most the residents and walkers were a bit confused to start with, but as we did more laps, more and more people got into the spirit of it.

“Some were bringing out cold drinks and others were giving us cash donations.

“So as quiet as it was compared to 85,000 other people doing the same thing, it was still an awesome day.”

Paul said despite the worthwhile day, he is looking forward to 2022 as you can’t beat the real thing when it comes to running with a Sydney crowd.

Field taking shape for council election

By Tim Howard THE field for the December 4 Clarence Valley local government elections has begun to jostle for positions at the start gates.

Originally slated for a September 4 poll, the local government elections fell foul of the Covid lockdowns that kicked in during July and August.

And that date was a year on from the original local election date in September 2020.

Prior to the postponement, a field of 13, including four of the nine sitting councillors, put themselves up for election, but there have been changes.

But there have been two additions to the

criteria, iVote, the Commission’s technology-assisted online and telephone voting platform will be available at local council elections for the first time.

“Local Government elections will be held on 4 December but there are also several ways voters can get their vote in ahead of that date. Voter safety is paramount, as is ensuring every eligible elector in NSW has a chance to have their voice heard.

“For the first time all field, Jeff Fuller and Warren Lang who nominated soon after the government announced the postponed election date.

voters are eligible to vote in person at any time during the twoweek voting period when a polling place is open. Early voting venues are listed on our website,” he said.

Recent amendments to the Local Government Act 1993 and Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 mean that voters will have a longer period in which to apply for, receive and return postal voting packs.

Postal vote applications are open Clancy and Karen Toms said they would stand again.

Greens councillor Greg Clancy made the first move officially opening his campaign for re-election for a second term on social media in

now, and postal votes must be received by 6pm, December 17.

All polling places will be run in line with Covid-safe election guidelines including physical distancing, mask wearing, singleuse pens and queue management. Signage and staff will direct voters to check in.

He also championed grassroots democracy and social justice.

On the same day former Clarence Valley deputy mayor Craig Howe set up a Facebook group called Clarence Valley Council Meet the Candidates.

Mr Howe invited candidate post their fliers and other election material on the page and answer questions from their community about their polices and vision for the region.

MODERN NEW LIBRARY AN INVITING SPACE FOR USERS members joined during WITH its welcoming interior, wide open spaces and modern facilities, the new Evans Head Library was officially opened yesterday by Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis and Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow.

With new furniture, furnishings and amenities, the renovation both inside and out has transformed the library into a friendly community hub for residents and visitors to enjoy for many years.

The $880,000 renovation was funded via a $400,000 Public Library Infrastructure Grant from the NSW Government, and $480,000 from Council’s 2020-2021 capital works budget.

Casino-based Bennett & Robertson Constructions undertook the work, which has tripled the size of the library, allowing a greater number of users to move more freely throughout the building.

Another unique element of the upgrade was the addition a shaded courtyard area, complete with seating

In a nod to 100 years of surf lifesaving in Evans Head, the ‘Buzza Pearce’ lifeboat hangs from the library’s ceiling.

Sure to be a focal point during next year’s century celebrations.

Mr Gulaptis said libraries were no

longer just a place to borrow books; they had become bustling community hubs offering a range of services and entertainment for locals and visitors.

“This project has included a reconfigured floor plan and a complete refurbishment inside and out to help ensure the library is a vibrant space for people of all ages

NSW counselling services reach crisis point

Counselling services across NSW have reached crisis point due to an exponential growth in demand for counselling, Relationships Australia NSW (RANSW) announced today.

Over the past three years, RANSW has seen a staggering 2,200 per cent increase in clients on its waitlists for counselling services.

RANSW is a notfor-profit organisation which offers counselling, relationship breakdown and antiviolence services for individuals, couples and families who aren’t coping and need help.

RANSW CEO Elisabeth Shaw said this sharp increase in demand is driven by the pressures of the pandemic.

“Our counselling services are at a crisis point and we are asking for help,” Ms Shaw said.

“The combination of lockdowns, financial pressures and close confinement with

partners has resulted in a surge in demand for support – people are crying out for help.

“Despite this increase in demand, there has been no corresponding increase in funding for our services, beyond some emergency support in some quarters.

“More people asking for help is a good thing – but not being able to provide the support they need once they’ve asked, is a real problem.

“People enrol in a counselling service because they are at breaking point. Waiting months to see someone is unacceptable and can have a devastating effect on the person and their family.”

Ms Shaw said that based on client caseload and waitlist data at its current trajectory, without extra funding,

by June 2022, the average waitlist will increase from 503 to 2,147 people, waiting 66 days for their first session.

“Our counsellors

have reported that the most presented issues are violence, coercive control, and increased relationship pressures – all linked to the pandemic and its impacts.

“My fear is we don’t have the full picture yet. The impacts of the pandemic are not fully realised and there are lot of people in trouble out there.

“Relationships Australia NSW is one of the biggest providers of counselling services, but we’re not the only one, and I know we’re not alone in experiencing this issue.

“Many people in the government, private sector and not-for-profit sectors are talking the talk about mental health and relationships now – probably more than ever.

“Now it’s time for the NSW and Federal Governments to talk with their purse strings.

“The helpers need help.”

ANXIETY OVER VACCINE MANDATES WILL NOT

EXEMPT YOU FROM RECEIVING A COVID-19 VACCINE The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is warning patients that they will not receive a COVID-19 vaccine exemption on the grounds of anxiety over vaccine mandates.

It comes following an anti-vaxxer group providing followers with advice to seek a vaccine exemption on the grounds of “acute major anxiety caused by the threat of a mandatory medical procedure”.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation’s (ATAGI) Expanded Guidance, which was prepared to support completion of an immunisation exemption form, notes that exemptions can be granted for “acute major medical illness”, which ATAGI describes as undergoing major surgery or hospital admission for a serious illness.

Anxiety is not listed as a condition for vaccine exemption.

RACGP President Dr Karen Price said that the cynical ploy would not succeed.

“You will not receive an exemption from your GP if you report anxiety about the vaccine mandate,” she said.

“Anxiety is taken extremely seriously by GPs, and we are here to help any patient who presents with this condition or any other mental health issue.

However, anxiety about the vaccine mandate is not grounds for an exemption.

“Instead of seeking an exemption, why not talk to your GP about the concerns you have. We are experts in providing evidence-based information, GPs do this every day for other vaccinations and it’s a key part of our day-to-

day job.

“Vaccine mandates may restrict employment opportunities for some unvaccinated people, but no individual will ever be forcibly vaccinated. GPs live by the Hippocratic Oath and will not administer any medical care or treatment without patient consent.

“GPs and general practice teams have a lot on their plate at the minute. We are busy delivering COVID-19 vaccines and playing catch up on delayed healthcare due to patients delaying or avoiding screenings and consults during the pandemic.

“The last thing we need is groups of people emerging from the woodwork demanding a vaccine exemption because of information they have sourced from an anti-vaxxer group.”

Dr Price said that vaccine exemptions should not be freely handed out to patients.

“Only a vanishingly small number of people cannot receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines

due to what we call ‘contraindications’”, she said.

“You will be granted an exemption to the AstraZeneca vaccine if you have a history of capillary leak syndrome, or a serious adverse event attributed to a first dose of the vaccine. You will receive an exemption for Pfizer or Moderna if you have experienced anaphylaxis or any other serious adverse event following a first dose of an mRNA vaccine.

“You will not be granted an exemption if you have a history of heart disease or stroke, in fact you it is extra important that you get vaccinated right away.

“There are some ingredients in each vaccine that can cause anaphylaxis for people with a very particular allergy. However, the chances of you being allergic to ingredients in all available vaccines, and therefore exempt from receiving any COVID-19 vaccine, is miniscule.

“So, even if you do

have a contraindication to one vaccine, other vaccine options are available. Only a fraction of the overall population should be granted a COVID-19 vaccine exemption and, even then, some people will only have a temporary contraindication.

“I note too that many severely immunocompromised people, such as those receiving treatment

for blood cancer, definitely should receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

In fact, they are now eligible to receive a third primary dose to try and bring their immunity levels up and offer them maximum protection.”

Dr Price said that patients should heed the advice of their GP rather than anti-vaxxer groups.

“Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there, particularly on

social media, about the pandemic and COVID-19 vaccines,” she said.

“Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19. Not only that, by getting vaccinated you can help limit community transmission and protect more vulnerable groups, including older people, the severely immunocompromised and children under 12 who cannot yet receive a vaccine.

“It’s not just about you, your actions impact others. This is a deadly virus; it is not worth risking your health and the health of others when you can get vaccinated right now with extremely effective and safe vaccines that are completely free of charge to everyone.

“In Victoria, we should reach the 90% double dose vaccination rate in late November so congratulations to the vast majority of people who are ignoring antivaxxer efforts and doing the right thing. Keep up the great work and well done on helping to keep vulnerable members of our community safe.”

BOOSTER SHOT WELCOME BUT MUST BE

COMPULSORY FOR ALL HEALTH AND AGED CARE WORKERS

Catholic Health Australia has welcomed the approval of a booster COVID-19 shot but is calling on the federal government to ensure health and aged care workers remain a priority and that the shots are compulsory.

CHA, the largest non-government provider grouping of health, community, and aged care services in Australia, has been advocating strongly for a booster to be approved for a number of months. Frontline staff who got their first jabs early in the year have been worried their immunity is likely to be

dropping.

CHA’s health policy manager Alex Lynch said the sector was relieved by the Pfizer booster approval, but the government needed to do more to ensure safety.

“As we have been saying for weeks, there is strong evidence that the immunity offered against Delta by two vaccine doses wears off significantly after eight months,” Mr Lynch said.

“So, doctors, nurses, and those in aged care who got their first shots early are becoming vulnerable.

They need that booster.”

Mr Lynch added: “It’s good that health and aged

care workers are in that priority group, but we need that booster shot to be a compulsory condition for working in hospitals as well as residential and community aged care.”

“We need the government to send an unambiguous message: if you work in health or aged care then you must be vaccinated.

Mandating Covid vaccines for hospital staff should not be thought of as controversial; healthcare workers are already required to get jabs to protect against the likes of measles, mumps, and rubella.

TRAVEL 31

Queensland’s Scenic Rim one of the world’s hottest destinations IT’S been hundreds of millions of years in the making, and has weathered ravaging bushfires that headlined globally, and now the eyes of the world return to Queensland’s Scenic Rim for a celebration unlike any other - in a major international coup, the Scenic Rim has been named by global travel authority Lonely Planet as one of the hottest destinations to visit in 2022.

Unveiled across the world, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2022 names the top 10 countries, cities and regions to visit next year, with the Scenic Rim the only Australian inclusion.

This edition places particular emphasis on best sustainable travel experiences and named the Scenic Rim eighth in the Top 10 regions.

Just an hour from Brisbane and 30 minutes from the heart of the Gold Coast, the Scenic Rim stretches from Canungra to The Lost World, Beaudesert to Boonah, Tamborine Mountain to Kalbar and

is home to the ancient World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests, historic national parks, charming towns and villages, adventure parks, farm stays, craft breweries, boutique wineries, ecolodges, tantalising gourmet experiences, world class camping and glamping and breathtaking spaces in between.

“After bouncing back from the 2019 Black Summer bushfires with a raft of new attractions and a renewed focus on sustainability, the Scenic Rim in Queensland is primed to become of Australia’s low impact tourism power players,” said Lonely Planet’s Chris Zeiher.

“It’s such an untouched and diverse eco-based Australian destination.

From the amazing food and wine to the incredible rainforest and bush walks and memorable places to stay, this is an unexpected pocket of Australia that has it all.

“The thing that has struck me about the Scenic Rim are its people. The hospitality

you’ll experience is off-the-scale... the community will invite you in and make you feel like a part of the family.

“It’s a region that’s a shining example of a connected community that’s been forced to innovate in the face of serious adversity such as drought, fire and more recently Covid travel restrictions.”

Highlights of the region noted by Lonely Planet include Binna Burra Mountain Lodge and O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, Australia’s newest Great Walk in The Scenic Rim Trail by Spicers, ecolodges Nightfall Wilderness Camp and Mt Barney Lodge as well as the six national parks.

Summer Land Camels, the Scenic Rim Farm Box and Kooroomba

Vineyard and Lavender Farm were spotlighted for showcasing local produce, while boutique wineries and craft breweries, farm stays and characters of the region were all championed.

Scenic Rim Regional Council Mayor Greg Christensen said being named in the Top 10 Regions in the world for 2022 was a major coup, but not undeserved.

“This is a region of plenty, of rugged ranges, valleys, winding roads and the most welcoming people in the world.”

“It’s the region of flavour makers, growers, farmers, foodies and taste-chasers, of pathmakers and of forward thinking people who have worked to create visitor experiences that are unique, authentic, educational and

sustainable, and have persisted during even the most tumultuous and challenging times.

“As the eyes of the world look to our region, I applaud the people who have created - and keep creating - these experiences and the infrastructure that enables us to welcome visitors with such authenticity and connection.

“It’s here in the Scenic Rim that locals and visitors alike feel enriched and we are thrilled that this has been recognised; we look forward to sharing our beautiful region with visitors of all ages and from all corners of the world - as always, we ask everyone to tread lightly on our earth.”

Adventurer, naturalist and tourism pioneer Arthur Groom, who went on to found Binna Burra, was originator of the phrase Scenic Rim. He used it to describe the spectacular semicircle of ancient volcanic mountains that wrap around the beautiful valleys, and lay the fertile foundations

for the flavour-filled farmlands below.

Inclusion in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2022 Top 10 Regions sees the Scenic Rim surrounded by outstanding company.

The number one region for 2022 is the Westfjords in Iceland, followed by West Virginia, USA, Xishuangbanna in China, Kent’s Heritage Coast in the UK, Puerto Rico, Shikoku, Japan, Atacama Desert, Chile, Vancouver Island, Canada and Burgundy in France.

Each year, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel lists start with nominations from Lonely Planet’s vast community of staff, writers, bloggers, publishing partners and more. The nominations are then whittled down by their panel of travel experts to just 10 countries, 10 regions and 10 cities.

Each is chosen for its topicality, unique experiences, ‘wow’ factor and its ongoing commitment to sustainable tourism practices.

TRAVEL 33

Start planning your dream trip AS WE look to start enjoying our travel again, worldwide there are emerging trends.

The biggest trend, that the experience of the past 18 months has taught us will be flexibility.

Many suppliers are already aboard with more flexible booking policies, although these tend to be slightly costlier.

The move has been from just sightseeing to more immersive travel.

It is about experiencing a destination through being there like a local.

This may mean selecting a place to stay in a residential neighbourhood, living like a local. It’s about

the discovery process – selecting things to do, places to visit, food and drink, like a local would.

After being starved of travel for 18 months’ travellers are wanting to do back to back travel in 2022.

During this time, they were able to save cash and accrue lots of annual leave and are ready to spend both!

They are therefore booking multiple destinations in one booking. They may spend two weeks in an Asian destination, another in few weeks travelling in Europe before heading to America or Canada on the way home. If they are not doing back to back travel, they may be booking a few separate trips

Casino Travel Shoppe

throughout the year, and why not? Prices are great for many destinations at the moment.

For many of us travel is about the many new people we meet on our trips.

However, in the new era of travel there will be much less human interaction with airline and travel providers frontline staff. Technology will play a greater role to minimise human contact.

The next time you travel, like those check-in terminals in the airport you are familiar with, your hotel receptionist may be a digital screen.

When picking up your rental car it may be done through an app.

Beach getaways and

escaping into nature is seeing an everincreasing demand. It may be heading west and discovering the magnificent Broome and Kimberley wilderness or heading north and taking in the wonders of the Northern Territory in some of Australia’s most magnificent national parks such as Kakadu and Litchfield National Park. It may be going further north to the beaches of Phuket and Bali or east to one of the Pacific Islands.

BOOST FOR REGIONAL HOUSING AS PART OF NSW RECOVERY PACKAGE THE NSW Government announced a $35 million Regional Housing Package which will drive construction in the regions and deliver critical health accommodation improvements.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the package is part of the $200 million Regional Recovery package which will deliver long term support and certainty for the regions as the state reopens.

“Attracting and retaining health staff to regional and rural areas is a challenge nationwide for many reasons.This is about delivering convenient and comfortable accommodation to help overcome this,” Mr Toole said.

“The bulk of this investment will deliver modern, stylish and sustainable

accommodation close to our health facilities, which will house visiting specialists and medical staff in comfort while they are caring for our communities.

“As part of the package

$5 million has been allocated to deliver Regional Housing Delivery Plans, working with local councils, industry and regional communities to develop practical, local solutions

to manage their housing needs.”

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said the investment in health worker housing will save Local Health Districts the cost of

accommodating visiting medical staff offsite.

“Each year, millions of dollars is spent by regional Local Health Districts to house visiting specialists and health staff for short

stays while they conduct clinics or surgery,” Mr Hazzard said.

“Thanks to this accommodation initiative, those savings can now be reinvested back into vital health services for regional and rural communities for years to come.”

Hunter New England and Western NSW Local Health Districts will be the first to trial the facilities, which if well received could be incorporated at other sites across rural and regional NSW. The $200 million Regional Recovery Package builds upon the NSW Government’s record investment in regional NSW through the $2 billion Regional Growth Fund and the $4.2 billion Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund and 30 per cent of the Restart NSW Fund.

How to stem the rental surge NEW data from CoreLogic shows rents are surging at an unsustainable rate, prompting calls from Everybody’s Home for a significant expansion of social and affordable housing.

The data released shows annual rents had the fastest growth since 2008, climbing 1.9 per cent in the September quarter to post annual growth of 8.9 per cent.

The sharpest increases were in regional areas, which spiked by 12.5 per cent overall.

In metropolitan areas, Perth was up 14.5 per cent, Hobart by 12.8 per cent and Darwin by 20.9 per cent.

Brisbane increased 9.7 per cent, Adelaide 8.3 per cent and Canberra 9.6 per cent.

Sydney and Melbourne were in lockdown for part of the period

in question but still increased by 7.2 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively.

“These rent increases are eyewatering,” said Everybody’s Home National spokesperson, Kate Colvin.

“They come as many people had their income and job security smashed.”

Many households on low and modest incomes have suffered a double

whammy of weaker income and higher rental costs.

“It’s not as if buying provides an escape route from rent,” Ms Colvin said.

“House prices have surged even further.

“Big banks are now projecting a year on year price increase of 22 per cent.

“Housing should be a basic right in any society but especially a wealthy

advanced one like Australia.

“It’s essential to looking after our health, caring for family and earning an income.

“Yet these figures show that for many, getting and keeping a house is becoming a brutal survival of the fittest.

“Expanding social and affordable housing is the best way to tackle this problem.

“Giving people on low

and modest incomes greater housing choice will release a major pressure valve.

“An ever-increasing number of workers in industries such as aged care, hospitality and other essential industries are paying between a third and half of their income for basic housing.

“Australia can and must do better.”

NSW TO LEAD THE WAY ON NET ZERO BUILDINGS MORE than $4.8 million will be invested in speeding up the transformation of the State’s built environment towards net zero emissions, as part of the NSW Government’s Net Zero Buildings initiative.

Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean said decarbonising our built environment is a big challenge but there are

also big opportunities.

“Decarbonising our homes and offices means both building them with low emissions construction materials and powering them with renewables,” Mr Kean said.

“Embodied carbon – which is the carbon emissions created when we make construction materials like aluminium, concrete and steel – is

expected to become the largest source of emissions in the building sector in the coming years.

“That’s why we are developing a worldleading framework to measure and certify embodied carbon for new buildings.

“This program will boost transparency around building sustainability for

investors, building owners and tenants and help to create consumerled demand for lowcarbon construction materials.”

The framework will be designed to be available nationally, developed in partnership with other governments and industry groups, and be delivered as part of the NABERS program.

“The NSW building

and construction industry are already global leaders in building sustainability, with businesses participating in NABERS reducing carbon emissions at one of the fastest rates in the world, slashing energy use by an average of 33 per cent since 2010,” Mr Kean said.

“This is about taking sustainability up a notch, and pulling a powerful

lever to reduce emissions in the built environment and reduce emissions from the buildings we live, work and play in.”

The framework will initially be rolled-out to commercial buildings including offices, hotels, shopping centres and warehouses, with a view to expand to residential buildings in the future.

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

Blooms are popping up everywhere and the warmer weather has given an extra spring in people’s steps; it’s about this time of year that everyone decides they are a gardener again. Who wouldn’t when the flowers are flirting and the sun is smiling? Tonight, the crew have a treasure chest of gardening ideas and tips.

Costa explores the best native spring flowers to suit almost any garden, and Sophie (pictured above) plants containers with species that attract native bees. Jane gives the lowdown on new laws around netting fruit trees safely, Josh talks watering succulents, while Sophie also demonstrates how to prune native grasses.

It’s a celebration of nature.

It’s no surprise this Aussie political drama has returned for a second series. It featured an unforgettable performance by veteran support act Deborah Mailman (pictured below right, Offspring) in her first lead role, as well as an excellent Rachel Griffiths. The biting script and blistering examination of morality told the story of a smalltown woman changing the face of the Australian political landscape, and her journey is far from over. In tonight’s first instalment of its sixepisode return, Alex Irving (Mailman) faces the reality of her alliance with ruthless opposition leader Laurie Martin (William McInnes).

Meanwhile, dethroned PM Rachel Anderson (Griffiths) isn’t done yet.

The saying goes that variety is the spice of life, and America’s Got Talent holds that mantra close to its heart.

It’s the talent show for people with a short attention span; you never know what you’re going to get, besides the usual raft of singers.

If you’ve given into temptation and asked the internet who the winner of this 16th season is, never fear: it’s still immensely fun watching the theatrics unfold, along with the high-spirited banter between celebrity judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara (pictured above). Tonight, 12 performers vie for the seven spots to get into the semi-finals, including an acrobat, a mentalist and a stand-up comedian.

NSW BUSINESSES AND GRANTS AVAILABLE INDUSTRY AWARDED FOR

PROTECTING WORKERS

The NSW Government has recognised the work businesses and industry are doing in keeping their employees safe with the 2021 NSW SafeWork Awards.

Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said the SafeWork Awards recognise businesses and individuals for work health and safety excellence.

“The NSW Government SafeWork awards recognise businesses, industry associations and unions who have gone above and beyond when it comes to protecting workers and we have seen organisations doing great work to keep their employees safe,” Mr Anderson said.

“This year we have seen some fantastic initiatives such as Northern Rivers business Koppers Wood, who developed an innovative new way of fixing a nail plate to electricity poles.

Wollongong-based Prescribe Australia were recognised for the development of a purpose-built scissor lift to eliminate the hazardous manual task of workers lifting a 38kg plate over their heads, reducing the risk of crush injuries.

“Master Builders Association of NSW received the industry association award for initiatives such as the identification of a trend in shade cloth fires, leading to the development of a new standard for safety

mesh, the dissemination of regular safety alerts and engagement with industry and regulatory bodies on safety matters.

“We have seen great examples of businesses and industry working to reduce and remove risks and hazards in the workplace. It has been very promising to see such a vast range of initiatives that work to ensure safety for workers now and in the future.”

This is the 18th year of the SafeWork NSW Awards, which celebrate innovative solutions to help workers at risk across a variety of industries. For more information visit https:// www.safework.nsw. gov.au/advice-andresources/campaigns/ safework-awards

FOR NSW SMALL BUSINESS MONTH EVENTS

The NSW Government is helping small businesses bounce back from the pandemic with up to $640,000 in grants available to help organisations host events to generate new ideas and connect with fellow entrepreneurs.

Grants of up to $2,500 for local councils and $3,500 for chambers of commerce, industry associations and notfor-profit groups are available to help them organise events for the fifth NSW Small Business Month in March 2022.

Small Business Minister Damien Tudehope said Small Business Month was a unique opportunity to help the State’s hardworking small business owners by offering events that teach them new skills and inspire them with

new ideas.

“Small businesses have been tested like never before with drought, floods, bushfires, the mouse plague and COVID-19. They’ve made enormous sacrifices to get where we are today and I want to acknowledge their hard work, effort and resilience,” Mr Tudehope said.

“The theme of this Small Business Month is `Rebuild, Recharge, Renew’, which reflects the Government’s determination to help small businesses recover and build a brighter, stronger future.

“The skills, resilience and ambition of NSW small businesses are vital to our economy and our communities.”

Applications for event grants open on 1 November and must be submitted

by 10 December with organisations encouraged to get online, review the grant guidelines and start preparing applications now.

Grants are competitive and applications will be assessed against the published criteria.

The events must adhere to the relevant NSW Health advice, including having a COVID-safety plan, registration of all attendees, limiting the number of people in the venue, and attendees to remain seated as required at all events.

Further details on how small businesses and supporters can participate in NSW Small Business Month will be released in the coming weeks. For more information visit: smallbusinessmonth. nsw.gov.au

Businesses are cashing in on sustainability More than 300,000 low income workers to Protecting the planet is profitable, according to a new survey of 500 high level decision-makers in some of Australia’s largest companies.

The research conducted

by Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management, shows that the majority (63%) of businesses believe that sustainable transformation provides a competitive edge.

Additionally, over threequarters (77%) of business leaders believe that sustainable products and services have become an expectation for consumers and investors. And 60% report that investors and financial institutions are becoming increasingly focused on a company’s sustainability strategy.

These trends are likely to increase: a recent complementary study on the future of energy

by KPMG revealed that a majority of industry leaders believe that by 2030 a law will have been passed requiring companies to meet specific ESG (environment, social and governance) targets.

In response to this shift in stakeholder priorities, many are moving to accelerate their sustainable transformation. Nine in ten respondents to the Schneider Electric survey said they believed their organisations should accelerate their sustainable transformation.

Nearly 40% of respondents had a sustainability roadmap

in place and another 30% are discussing one.

More than a third have increased their investment in sustainability over the past three years.

The majority of businesses surveyed are implementing renewable energy, 64% are discussing or have begun purchasing renewable energy and the same percentage are considering or installing solar solar, while 43% are discussing or installing microgrids.

Schneider Electric’s Pacific Zone President and Managing Director Gareth O’Reilly, said: “Our study shows that 90% of Australian organisations understand and support the need for a greener and more responsible approach to energy.

Climate change has become a defining factor in the long-term prospects of many businesses and the next ten years will be critical to their future growth.

“Across the Pacific region we’re seeing a growing number of businesses wanting to integrate alternative energy management systems into their corporate strategy, with many exploring the use of microgrids and solar on an industrial scale to help provide a more competitive advantage.

“At Schneider Electric, we see electrification and digitisation as inseparable and critical parts of the fight against climate change. A successful corporate sustainability strategy needs to be designed and implemented end-to-end

to accelerate the delivery of concrete results across the business.

“The good news is that today’s digital technologies can help us make decisions smarter, faster, and more precisely – all of which is ultimately better for the planet.”

Almost three-quarters (72%) of organisations that took part in the survey believe that Australia must commit to ‘net zero’ carbon emissions by 2050.

Coles was one of the brands that participated in the study. Chief Sustainability, Property and Export Office, Thinus Keeve commented: “Under the Together to Zero focus area in Coles’ Sustainability Strategy, we have set a target of net zero emissions by 2050, as part of our ambition to become Australia’s most sustainable supermarket.

“Net zero emissions by 2050 is an ambition that aligns with the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming and will guide Coles’ ongoing work to drive sustainability in all parts of our business.

“We know this isn’t something we can do on our own and we will need to work with our team, customers, suppliers and communities to make a meaningful difference and reach our targets.

“As a significant step towards our net zero ambition, we have contracts in place with renewable energy providers that will allow the entire Coles Group to be powered by 100% renewable electricity by the end of FY25.”

qualify for super payments for the first time:

More than 300,000 low income workers to qualify for super payments for the first time: AIST welcomes legislation to scrap the $450 monthly income threshold The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has welcomed today’s introduction to Parliament of legislation to remove the minimum $450 monthly salary threshold that currently prevents at least 311,000 workers from receiving compulsory employer super contributions.

AIST CEO Eva Scheerlinck said the move to scrap the $450 monthly threshold - which the super industry had long called for – was an important equity measure that would make an immediate difference to the retirement outcomes of

some of Australia’s most disadvantaged workers.

“This legislation recognises that every worker has a right to employer super contributions, no matter how much they earn or how many hours they work,” Ms Scheerlinck said. “There is absolutely no justification for this arbitrary earnings threshold on employer super contributions.”

Ms Scheerlinck, who urged Parliament to pass the legislation without any change, said those affected by the current threshold were typically low-income earners and mostly women, some of whom work two or more jobs, each earning under $450 per month.

The legislation will expand the Super Guarantee to eligible employees earning salary

or wages less than $450 in a calendar month from a single employer.

“Given that superannuation guarantee payments are payable on the entire income for employees earning over $450, the current threshold creates a stark contrast of outcomes for employees that may be earning only slightly different income.”

However, Ms Scheerlinck said more needed to be done to improve fairness in the super system and to improve the retirement outcomes of women and low-income earners.

AIST is calling on the Government to introduce super on paid parental leave and to address the equity of the super tax concessions, which disproportionately benefit high income earning men.

Cow market was firm with cows selling to 391c/kg to an average of 381c/kg. Young cattle continued on very strong indeed with Angus steers selling to a top of 928c/kg and Angus heifers to 890c/kg

‘The forest floor is covered in fruit’: Bumper year for Black Apples

By Big Scrub Landcare Inc BLACK Apple (Planchonella australis) is one of the largest bush tucker foods in the Big Scrub.

A member of the Sapotaceae family, the same family as the persimmon, the fruit is slightly sweet, less tart than a Davidson plum and has a delicious texture. And, if you feel like foraging, the forest

floor is currently covered with the dark shiny fruit.

This year seems to be a particularly prolific year for the species, which is endemic to South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

Under a large tree, hundreds of fruit can be found. But be careful which fruit you eat – they cleverly allow their fruit to fall to ground

before they’re ripe.

It takes a few days to a week for them to soften and become more palatable, perfect for cassowaries (when they were around these parts), rodents, possums and larger fruit eating birds to feast on.

It’s best to collect them from the forest floor while still hard and let them ripen at home before eating.

The seeds are attractive, shiny, flat, and brown, and germinate easily.

The tree itself can grow up to 30 metres tall and has a fluted trunk with rough brown bark. It attracts birds and insects and is a favourite of the green catbird, which eats the fruit. Historically, it was grown for its hard wood for cabinet making and the yellow-patterned wood has also been used

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

to make rulers.

If the species had received the same treatment as apples or pears, it could have developed into a very sweet, tasty, highly sought-after fruit. With growth in the native fruit industry taking off, it will be interesting to see how it’s use develops. In the meantime, they’re a beautiful, slow-growing tree adding precious food and vibrant colour to our diverse rainforest.

46 RURAL NEWS EXTRA GLASS OF MILK A DAIRY GOOD IDEA FOR OLDER AUSTRALIANS

Extra daily milk, yoghurt, and cheese led to a 33% lower risk of all fractures Saving yourself from a serious injury could be as simple as drinking your milk, a new study has found.

According to new research from the University of Melbourne and Austin Health, elderly people who eat three-anda-half serves of dairy a day have a remarkably lower chance of breaking bones, fracturing hips and even falling down.

A two-year trial of more than 7000 aged care residents showed more milk, cheese and yoghurt was a cheap and simple

way of keeping elderly people safe.

NSW Farmers Dairy Committee Chair Colin Thompson said it backed up what doctors had been saying for a long time.

“We know good nutrition is so important to staying healthy, especially as we age,” Mr Thompson said.

“Just by adding a glass of milk in the morning or a tub of yoghurt to your breakfast, and having a bit of cheese with your lunch to your diet can have a big impact in terms of overall health.

“It’s good for your bones, it’s good for your muscles, and it tastes good too!”

The findings were published in the British Medical Journal, which reported foods rich in calcium and protein, such as milk, yoghurt, and cheese help prevent bone fragility, but few studies had investigated whether increasing daily intake of these foods was an effective and safe way to reduce fracture risk in older adults. The two-year randomised controlled trial of 7195 Australians found increasing intake of foods rich in calcium and protein such as milk, yoghurt, and cheese, reduced falls and fractures in older adults living in residential care.

CMI WELCOMES NET-ZERO AGREEMENT, CALLING FOR DETAILS The Carbon Market Institute has welcomed news that the Australian National Party has agreed on net zero by 2050, however says the details behind the decision will matter and no formal and stronger 2030 target is a major disappointment.

“A net zero target by 2050 is important.

Not just because it sets a clear target for infrastructure decisions being made now, but because it narrows the wriggle room. It could also mark the beginning of the end of Australia’s decades-long climate culture wars,” said CMI Chief Executive Officer, John Connor.

“CMI looks forward to the details of what will be included in the agreed package and hopes it heralds a departure from the false binary of ‘technology versus taxes’, with a shift to a technology and market investment approach.”

Australia can build on the positives

CMI Chief Executive Officer, John Connor

of the Technology Roadmap with sectoral packages and a stronger Safeguard Mechanism. This will mean that our big emitters are sent clear signals for short and long term investment in decarbonisation.

Sectoral packages and policies to be applied to energy, transport and agriculture will also be important to support emerging industries like carbon farming.

Mr Connor says the carbon farming industry could boost the millions being invested into regional Australia, diversifying farmer income streams, and strengthening ecosystem health and climate resilience.

“Detail in this policy area is important to make sure both investment and environmental goals are achieved, which may or may not be the case with rumoured recommendations,” he said.

“The lack of a stronger 2030 target in the form of an updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) is not just a missed opportunity in accelerating clean economy investment opportunities, but a handicap on our negotiators in Glasgow at COP26.

“While stronger 2030 projections are welcome, the reality is that formally lodged NDCs are the hard currency in climate negotiations. We remain stuck with a target devised by Prime Minister Tony Abbott in mid-2015,” concluded Mr Connor.

CMI looks forward to further detail on the Coalition policy package.

STRONGER FARMS BUILD STRONGER REGIONS: REPORT A new report from the Australian Farm Institute has found a unique connection between a strong agricultural sector and strong regional communities.

Commissioned by NSW Farmers, the Stronger Ag Sector Stronger Regions report found connectivity, infrastructure and workforce were key factors to the success of both farming and the regions, with strong potential to deliver lasting economic stability.

“This report confirms what we’ve suspected for some time, that the fates of farms and farming communities and closely intertwined,” NSW Farmers President James Jackson said.

“Agriculture is an increasingly important sector both in terms of economic output and food security, and we’re playing a key role in removing carbon from the atmosphere.

infrastructure water and environmental reform • cutting red tape for farm businesses • job creation • upskilling, training and education “NSW Farmers has a goal of growing the agriculture sector in our state to $30 billion by 2030, and that means more regional jobs and more opportunities for our communities,” Mr Jackson said.

“When COVID arrived, people started flocking to the regions and there’s clearly a strong level of interest in developing these towns and cities in the right way.

“What we’re doing is looking at every possible way to grow into the future, and with the right support from governments on investment and things like managing land use, we can make sure there’s opportunities for everyone.”

•

“Hopefully, this report will prompt governments to further invest in rural and regional communities and the future of agriculture, as we will get a win-win for everyone.”

While both the state and federal governments have

regional growth priorities, Mr Jackson said these need to complement each other and respond to the needs of regional communities. He said the report identified five policy priorities that would help drive future success: • supply chains and

INCREASED HARVESTABLE RIGHTS TO BRING GREATER WATER SECURITY TO COASTAL LANDHOLDERS The NSW Government has today taken an historic step to help coastal farmers produce more and better prepare for drought and bushfire by allowing greater water capture through an increase in harvestable rights.

Coastal farmers and landholders can currently store 10 per cent of the rain that falls on their properties, yet they will soon be able to better drought-proof their properties as the NSW Government increases their harvestable right to 30 per cent.

Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey said these changes would improve water security for property owners and assist with reducing bushfire risk for coastal towns.

“The NSW Eastern Seaboard has some of Australia’s richest soil, making it a producer’s dream with the production of dairy, beef cattle, macadamias,

potatoes and tomatoes contributing billions to the NSW GDP,” Mrs Pavey said.

“For our farmers on the coast this is just common sense for our communities. The increase came after the NSW Government undertook a long overdue review which included hydrological modelling and broad community consultation.

“We saw too many situations during the 2019/20 bushfire season where despite being in high rainfall areas, firefighters were unable to source water from nearby locations. By raising the harvestable right to allow more water to be stored across the landscape, we will be better prepared as a State for future disasters.”

Member for Myall

Lakes Stephen Bromhead said an increase in harvestable rights to 30 per cent means landholders can store more water for domestic and stock use and agriculture, allowing some farming operations to continue for longer, protecting local jobs and boosting local economies.

“The change means many landholders in

coastal catchments will be able to capture more water, while balancing the needs of the environment and downstream communities”, Mr Bromhead said.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said to prepare for future droughts, landholders need be able to capture water during wet periods to get them through those

very tough, dry times.

“It’s devastating to see the impact of drought on our towns. By holding more water in the wetter years, producers will be able to get through longer droughts and retain their staff growing the food from these regions we’ve all come to love,” Mr Singh said.

Mrs Pavey said the NSW Government will be undertaking detailed assessments of each individual coastal catchment over the next year to confirm the new limit is appropriate at a local level.

To balance this with the needs of the environment and downstream water users, water use will be restricted to domestic, stock and some agriculture uses, and farm dams will still only be allowed on first or second order streams.

These new rules will come into effect in early 2022 and the Natural Resources Access Regulator will enforce the strict rules.

Strong climate policy a win for regions, farmers say Monday, 25 October.

The National Party’s in-principle agreement to net zero by 2050 is a welcome first step towards a stronger climate policy, Farmers for Climate Action say.

The federal government is at the pointy end of its negotiations to finalise a net zero emissions by 2050 target as Prime Minister Scott Morrison prepares to attend COP26 in Glasgow.

Farmers for Climate Action CEO Fiona Davis said: “We look forward to seeing the

details of the federal government’s plan and what it will mean for regional communities

and agriculture.

“This plan needs to be credible, in line with the latest science and take into account climate impacts farmers are already seeing on the ground. We need urgent action to reduce emissions this decade.

“Farmers for Climate Action and its more than 6000 farmer members see great opportunity for farmers and regional Australia in strong climate policy. We

believe regional jobs will flow from sending a clear signal to the market and unlocking investment in regional Australia.

“Regional Australia needs a strong voice as climate policy is created to make sure we capitalise on the opportunities available and boost regional jobs.

“Our recent report by Ernst & Young shows agriculture can achieve net zero emissions by

2040 while growing productivity. Agriculture is already leading the way with key industry groups signed up to net zero targets.”

Farmers for Climate Action is a movement of more than 6000 farmers and agricultural leaders working to ensure that farmers, who are on the frontlines of climate change, are part of its solution.

LIVE

from Byron

THERE is something about Byron.

This wildly eclectic creative community has been the media’s muse for the last decade.

Everyone wants to talk about us. Our real estate.

Our celebs. Our beaches.

Our influencers. Our anti-vaxers. Our lives.

So instead of them talking about us – how about we share some of the colour of who we are?

That was the creative genesis that saw the creation of Byron Live, hosted and co-created

by Mandy Nolan and Astronaut Media.

Mandy is as iconic in Byron Bay as the lighthouse itself. Her opinions and humour have warned many philosophical travelers about dangerous terrain and sometimes she’ll lead you straight onto the rocks!

Mandy hosts a chat show with a difference.

For a start it’s live – with a swinging three-piece houseband, aka Lovejoy Trio, an opening choreographed dance routine by Danni from Sassy Salsa starring the big girl herself busting some moves and a live penis painter!

Yes! Pricasso, the world famous bloke who paints portraits with his penis. He’s on stage capturing the moment

throughout the show.

Byron Live’s featured guests are Australian comedy sensation and local dweller Akmal.

After an initial confrontation with a goanna this inner city boy has fallen in love with the wild country.

He talks to us about leaving Egypt, being kicked out of Rockhampton and finding home.

Media personality, actor and activist the glorious and the original surfer chick Nell Schofield is also on the hotseat, talking about her role in the seminal film Puberty Blues, nude activism and making waves.

Hussy Hicks live just over the border but they certainly belong here. Leesa Gentz and Julz Parker are the two extraordinary women in the power duo that Sarah Howells raved “Some artists need to be seen to be believed, and Hussy Hicks fit that category”.

They’re funny, fabulous and fricking electric on stage!

Byron Live will also feature a very special performance by Byron’s very own Francis Atkins.

Francis has wanted to play Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto 2 since he was a little boy.

It’s one of the greatest concertos ever written

and he got to guest solo with Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra!

An extraordinary achievement for a 23-year-old pianist.

His family and friends missed out seeing him so we invited him to Byron Live to play a much shortened version on the concerto and have a chat!

Unbelievably the night of the performance is 121 years to the day of the first ever live performance of the piece by the composer as the soloist. Amazing!

Byron Live is music, dance, conversation, comedy, inspiration… and it’s off the wall!

Mandy, the Greens candidate for Richmond, shows is giving it her all.

“If I get voted in next year I may not get to host another Byron Live, so I am giving this show everything!

“There is also a surprise guest... can’t say who yet, just waiting to announce!’

See the show on Thursday, December 2 at the Byron Theatre, Community Centre.

Tickets from mandynolan.com.au or byroncentre.com.au.

Doors open 6.30pm.

Early Bird tickets on sale now for $45, full price $60.

Amy Meng Playing House The act of playing is far from innocent. Whilst games are instrumental to a child’s psychosocial development, they are also imbued with problematic gender norms.

Drawing influences

from manga, anime and video games, in Playing House Amy Meng situates the bishoujo (beautiful young girl) within the context of kawaii (cute) culture and the domestic landscape, and investigates how our fascination with her escalates the infantilisation and

pornification of society.

NEXT GENERATION SUBARU WRX SPORTSWAGON

By EWAN KENNEDY Complementing the launch of the all-new Subaru WRX sedan, Subaru Australia has announced that a WRX Sportswagon will also arrive on Australian shores in second quarter of 2022.

A wolf in sheep’s clothing, the WRX Sportswagon combines the turbocharged performance of the sedan with a touch of sophistication and an abundance of practicality.

The WRX Sportswagon will be a model in its own right, with both the sedan and Sportswagon featuring specification tailored to their respective audiences.

Blair Read, the General

Manager of Subaru Australia, said: “The WRX is a true rally-bred vehicle that has earned

an iconic status over the decades, and the all-new WRX promises to deliver a thrilling experience to drivers.”

“The WRX Sportswagon offers Australians an

additional version of this performance machine with enhanced practicality for everyday use.

“We’re confident the all-new WRX and WRX Sportswagon

will continue to build upon the performance model’s rich heritage as it ushers in a new era of style, technology, razor sharp handling and exhilaration.”

FORD FOCUS ST UPDATED FOR 2022

By EWAN KENNEDY Ford has provided us with more details of the updated Focus ST, developed by Ford Performance. It has been facelifted body and there are new alloy wheel designs. It has what Ford Oz says is a, “headturning Mean Green paint option”. Inside are in-house developed Performance Seats.

The updated Focus ST introduces Ford’s next-generation SYNC 4 technology. It has embedded connected navigation and connected voice control with natural language understanding.

It has a 13.2-inch landscape centre screen.

Driver assistance technologies fitted to the

Focus ST for the first time include Blind Spot Assist. This works with in conjunction with the Blind Spot Information System by monitoring the driver’s blind spot for vehicles approaching from behind and beside. It can apply counter-steering to warn the driver and discourage a lane change manoeuvre if a potential collision is detected.

Ford also announced that from the updated 2022 model, the Focus line-up in Australia will consist only of the Focus ST hot hatch range, including the ST and premium ST X. Demand for the Focus ST continues to grow, and with the addition of ST X, means hot hatch customers can choose the

variant that best suits their needs.

The company explains that the small car segment in Australia has declined significantly over the past seven years, from 21 per cent of the total industry in 2014 to 12 per cent in 2020. Over the same period, the percentage of hot hatch sales in that segment more than tripled.

“As we focus our efforts in areas of future growth for Ford and the industry, we’re freshening and expanding our line-up across performance, commercial and family vehicles, including plans for at least five new electrified vehicles by the end of 2024,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia.

GENESIS G70 3.3T SPORT

By CHRIS RILEY

driver. The boot is on the small side.

Try as we may, we couldn’t get the navigation unit to accept an intersection of two streets as a destination.

With a 60-litre tank, the V6 drinks 95 premium unleaded and uses a claimed 10.2L/100km.

We averaged 9.3 litres per hundred after 400km of mixed driving which is pretty good considering the type of car.

A $10,000 Luxury Pack was also fitted to our test car along with matte finish paint which adds another $2000 to the price, bringing the grand total to $87,876.

The pack includes a 12.3-inch full screen instrument cluster with 3D function, head-up display, a 16-way adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, poweroperated rear boot lid and premium 15-speaker Lexicon audio.

STYLING The G70 has just had a facelift, which includes which includes a new front bumper, grille and headlights, along with a new rear bumper and tail lights.

Most notable are the striking signature quad headlights, featuring super thin LEDs, that bring the design into line with the rest of the lineup.

Below each headlight, air curtain inlets provide definition and well as helping to reduce aerodynamic drag.

The plunging ‘crest’ radiator grille gives the car a welcome, more aggressive look, while new air vents positioned behind the front wheels replace the previous shark gills. A parabolic line adds an elegant touch to the design.

Signature quad tail lights grace the rear, with prominent Genesis lettering across the boot with its restrained lip spoiler. Dual exhaust tips and a body-coloured diffuser add the finishing touches to the updates.

While the first edition of the G70 looked like a BMW, the latest iteration of the with its droopy, rounder lines is more suggestive of a Benz, especially the rear.

Standard kit includes leather and two-zone climate, 12-way poweradjustable heated and ventilated front seats, with four-way lumbar support for the driver.

INTERIOR There’s also ambient interior lighting, ‘touch’ style front door handles, keyless entry and start, automatic lights and wipers, auto-dimming

exterior mirrors, LED headlights and tail lights, a panoramic sunroof and power-operated boot lid.

An improved Qi phone charger fits larger devices, provides an increased 15W output for quicker charging and has an integrated cooling fan.

New touches include richly tactile G Matrix style quilting and classy geometric patterned trim inserts.

Headlining the tech updates is a 10.25-inch satellite navigation and Infotainment unit Sport and Sport Line styling with Luxury Package bring, in addition, a suede headlining and pillar covers, Sport-style swirl patterned aluminium trim inserts, and sports pedals.

These flagship variants also bring Nappa Leather upholstery in a choice of vibrant Sevilla Red, sophisticated Sandstorm Grey and classic Sport black among the selection of seven interior colours across Sport and standard styling.

There’s a lidded box between the seats, two console cupholders, a sunglasses saver overhead and bins in the doors.

There’s two power-only USB ports in the storage box and a multimedia connection at the front of the console, along with a 12-volt outlet.

INFOTAINMENT The standard infotainment system with a 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen incorporates satellite navigation, digital radio, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity

and 9-speaker audio including an external amplifier.

If you want the whiz-bang Lexicon system, you’re looking at $10,000 for the Luxury option package because it’s part of that. It has 11 channels, 660 Watts, and 15 speakers, it features Digital Signal Processing, A ‘custom’ button on the steering wheel can be mapped to numerous functions, while the ability to make multiple Bluetooth connections allows easy switching between media sources.

ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS Genesis G70 3.3T is powered by a revised, twin-turbocharged 3.3-litre petrol V6 that pumps out 274 kW at 6000 rpm and 510 Nm between 1300 and 4500 rpm, which is bang on the money. The latest model picks up a couple more kilowatts thanks to a new dual-mode, variable exhaust system.

The engine drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed auto that includes steering wheel mounted gear change paddles and with auto rev-matching on downshifts.

SAFETY The Genesis G70 has a five-star rating. There are side airbags and a front centre side airbag, bringing the grand total to 10.

Active driver-assist systems include forward collision-avoidance assist with car/pedestrian/ cyclist detection as well as junction turning function.

There’s rear cross-traffic collisionavoidance assist, blind-spot collisionavoidance assist rear, blind-spot view monitor, lane following assist, surround view monitor, multi collision braking, safe exit warning and rear occupant alert.

DRIVING The throaty rumble of the V6 as it springs to life is great. Nosing on to the motorway for the first time, we punch the accelerator and the G70 fires forward -- loud, urgent and convincing.

A new Sport+ mode further increases engine responsiveness and throttle sensitivity, engages enhanced gearbox logic and turns the traction control off.

It also brings the side bolsters of the driver’s seat to life, which move inwards to hold you

tighter.

Because G70 is a rear-drive car, switching to Sport+ means the back has the potential to ‘step out’ and could leave less experienced drivers looking embarrassed (and possibly out of pocket).

Turning on Sport+ also activates a track setting that screws down suspension travel to reduce body roll in corners. Based on vehicle sensors, such as G-force, steering angle, steering velocity and throttle position, as well as the drive mode, it provides the optimal damping force for each wheel.

The system can intelligently adjust compression and rebound forces up to 100 times per second using continuously variable dampers.

There’s also launch mode, designed to optimise acceleration from a standstill. But after you’ve had a play with this a couple of times, you’ll probably only return to impress friends.

What is guaranteed, however, is that this car will put a smile on your dial.

The ride from the adaptive dampers is exemplary, the steering is direct and responsive depending on mode and the car corners exceptionally well, sitting flat and controlled.

Although the changes delivered by the eightspeed auto are not as crisp as a twin clutch, we prefer the smoothness of a traditional auto.

Rear legroom is limited, especially with a taller

SUMMING UP This is a car to watch.

Genesis G70 will appeal to buyers who want something different and are tired of the same old fare. We feel the Genesis marque is sure to grow in stature.

Aries Mar21 21 - Apr ARIES MAR - APR 19 20 Instead of always attempting to get your own way, and endeavoring to persuade others to help you, you instead find you have enough energy yourself to work a bit harder and accomplish what you need. If tempted to argue with others it’s far better to give in, especially if what’s under dispute is of little significance. There is nothing 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. Concentrate on what is really important, namely your lover or if single - someone you desire!

Do not to bring work related issues into your love life.

Instead find relaxation and pleasure by snuggling up together or giving each other a comforting massage.

Tensions can easily be resolved by lovemaking! Be prepared to make the extra effort when you know it’s needed.

Taurus Apr - May TAURUS APR 2021 - MAY 20 21 Whatever you feel like doing, avoid making a dramatic scene worse by losing your self-control. If you’re running on adrenalin and prone to rash outbursts, compromise with others instead. Sometimes it is far better to give in to an overly aggressive protagonist to stave off their threat. Promoting a positive environment helps dispel any lasting effects of such disruption. Indulging in some outdoor activities helps eliminate the worst aspects of nervous irritability. A long walk can work wonders. In your relationship you’re facing a tense time. That’s partly due to you feeling uncertain and rather vulnerable. Try to prevent any arguments by making time for each other, listening to what your partner has to say, and being more sensitive to each other’s wishes. But it’s certainly just as important to express your own wishes; importantly, without complaining.

GEMINI MAYMay 21 - JUNE Gemini 22 - 20 June 23 Wanting to achieve is OK as long as whenever possible you include others and satisfactorily deal with their concerns. Don’t resort to angry outbursts if you’re criticized but consider if there is a benefit to be gained from the other person’s point of view that you can take into consideration and is likely to improve the outcome of your activities. Any excessive energy utilize in pursuit of healthy exercise, to help release tension or stress, avoid contact sports, jogging or Nordic walking is best.

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

Cancer Jun - Jul CANCER JUN 21 -24JULY 22 22 Your abundant energy together with the self-confidence and composure you display makes being successful both professionally and personally much more likely. You engage people in pleasant conversation which helps them to see your point of view. Use your new found enthusiasm to resurrect your interest in people or projects that you have neglected for a long time. Feeling very fit, you can easily be persuaded to improve your performance in the sports activities or exercise regime you enjoy most. The Gods of love and romance seem to be sitting on your shoulder this week and Cupid is ready to literally shoot off a zillion arrows. If you’re single you can rejoice over any new found romance. If you’re in a relationship, you shouldn’t give in to such temptations. Why not play a little game with your lover by flirting with strangers; this is bound to spice up your love life.

Leo Jul2323- AUG - Aug LEO JUL 22 23 You possess a higher than usual level of pent up anger that needs dealing with in a constructive way, if you don’t want to suffer from the consequences. Ease up on the talking and avoid putting others on the defensive.

If you require help from others be more patient and diplomatic in the way you approach them. Even if you personally feel on top form, be prepared to take things at a more leisurely pace otherwise you may suffer setbacks from unnecessarily taking on far more than you able to handle. You encounter difficulties due to your lack of consideration. You feel rather passionate; a quickie is certainly exciting, but not recommended all the time. If you’re able to slightly curb your enthusiasm, the thrill of anticipation makes it worthwhile; give your partner pleasure from sustained love making as well. If single, you need to relax; control your lust and passion.

Virgo Aug2324 - Sep VIRGO AUG - SEP 22 22 Your dynamic methods significantly help promote any project you undertake. The level of efficiency and thoughtfulness you display enhances your position in the workplace and enables you to satisfactorily deal diplomatically with any ongoing disputes. Make the most of the confidence you 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. You’re getting on very well with those you care about most and it appears you have a lot of positive influence on other people you meet as well. Even if from time to time, you and your lover seem to disagree, you’re both able to easily find compromises. Make sure that the romantic side of your relationship is not being overlooked or even completely forgotten.

LIBRA SEP - OCT 22 23 Libra Sep2323 - Oct Prospects are good, take advantage of any opportunity you get to let others know how committed you are. You’re able to state and define your point of view convincingly in every situation that occurs. Try to deal with as many outstanding issues and plans for the future as you possibly can.

As in all things a healthy balance is required, take a break when you can, going out for a jog in the evening, riding your bike or long walks in the country help you relax and unwind after a time of intense deliberations.

Your enhanced self–confidence makes you charming; you’re sparkling 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.

Scorpio Oct2324- NOV - Nov SCORPIO OCT 21 20 Most things you attempt are likely to turn out well. You have enough energy to successfully complete as many tasks as you want to take on. The only thing you can’t afford to do is to relax and take it easy. It’s important to take advantage of your excess energy and to apply it in a way that is as beneficial as possible, grasp the challenge and make your ideas a reality – both at work and at home. Make sure you are not in any way aggressive – it’s by being friendlier that you’re likely to succeed. Your partner finds you exhausting.

Your assertiveness is frequently the basis for heated discussions between you. Remember you’re facing the person who you love most! With a little patience and a kiss at the right moment it shouldn’t be too difficult to avoid serious problems in your relationship. You should make use of your energy to stimulate some hot passion!

SagittariusNOV Nov SAGITTARIUS 22 -22 DEC- 21Dec 21 All aspects of the experience you have previously accumulated are brought to bear and help you deal confidently with most situations as and when they arise. You’re satisfied with yourself and the effort you’re able to make towards stabilizing your circumstances and prospects for the future. It’s appropriate to seek improvements in your business, social and romantic life, whatever you dare to tackle leads to favorable responses from others, who are likely to approve of your suggestions and opinions. Being fair-minded about your own interests and those of your lover will bring about mutual respect; especially if you live in a long-term relationship, you’re able to make the necessary compromises that will stand the test of time.

If you’re single the chances of success are good too, thanks to your confident appearance you make a lasting impression on those you meet.

Capricorn CAPRICORN DECDec 22 - 22 JAN-19Jan 20 You feel fighting fit, on top form, as you experience vibrant energy running through your body! That’s why it is a great time to tackle any tasks you have put off recently. If you don’t have existing projects, it is a good time to start something new. Prepare yourself in anticipation for something good to happen shortly.

It is even possible for you to feel overwhelmed by so many opportunities coming your way. Take advantage of this crucial phase and make the most of it!! Once you’ve got your project off the ground, you meet with approval from others. This could be a great week for your love life. Whether you’re bringing new thinking into an existing relationship or if you’re single you begin a new relationship – the driving force for this positive change is you! But you need to have a healthy sense of reality. Don’t expect to have unrealistic encounters, or your lover to make an extra special effort, just for your sake alone!

AQUARIUS janJan 20 - 21 feb-18Feb 19 Aquarius Although you feel confident and ready to make improvements both at work as well as on the home front in ways you have not attempted before.

It’s easy for you to lose control and become embroiled in arguments which can cause problems that dent your pride. The maxim to follow is; to think twice before you act and proceed one step at a time with extra caution. Don’t let yourself be so easily provoked, consider situations sensibly before you finally make a decision about the most effective way to proceed. Concerning your love life – get ready for a surprise! It’s definitely time for you to be excited about what’s coming up. One thing is really clear; you certainly won’t be bored during the time that’s approaching. Admittedly, your current relationships can be quite confusing. However, remain coolheaded and make sure you try to make the best of any unexpected changes.

PiscesFEB Feb PISCES 19 -20MAR- Mar 20 21 You’re confident, composed and 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. In your love life all options are open and available. If you already have a partner or are still looking for one, you’ll be able to win them over with your sensual qualities and experience a great deal of pleasure together. Energy and harmony will be readily available to you, as well as endurance and self-control. Enjoy the affectionate time you spend in such a loving embrace.

NEW BOARD FOR GREYHOUND RACING NSW The NSW Government has announced a new Chair, Deputy Chair and Director for the Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) Board.

Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said the appointments provide the board with an array of experience while bringing in fresh ideas and perspectives.

“I am pleased to announce the GRNSW Board will be overseen by John Williams and Rebekah Giles as Chair and Deputy Chair with Helen Moore to join the board as a Director,” Mr Anderson said.

Mr Anderson said the appointments of Mr Williams, Ms Giles and Ms Moore will provide a fresh and innovative new outlook for Greyhound Racing NSW. “Mr Williams has been a great ambassador for rural and

regional Australia, possessing a wide range of experience including as a shearer, truck driver, farmer and owner of an import distribution business,” Mr Anderson said.

“Ms Moore has previously served on the GRNSW Board, and will be a valuable asset to GRNSW over the next two years. She

has extensive commercial and corporate experience including executive positions, currently as COO of Collins Food Group and previously at Woolworths Limited, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan.

“Ms Giles is a practising lawyer with a background in sports law. She has sat on

the GWS Giants board where she chaired the Integrity Committee. Ms Giles is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and is the Chair of the Centennial Parklands foundation.

“The NSW Government remains committed to supporting greyhound racing

in NSW having invested $30 million through the Capital Grants Program for safety upgrades at tracks.

“Additionally, the NSW Government has agreed to fully fund the regulator, the Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission, meaning $25 million is now available for investment in trackside amenities and rehoming facilities.

“Under the leadership of the outgoing Chair Hugh Armenis, GRNSW has advanced the code’s safe racing strategy and continued to put integrity and welfare at the centre of the sport.

“We look forward to bringing in a new era under the new board and continuing to work with GRNSW to provide a strong future for the greyhound racing industry here in NSW.”

MAX PERROTS’ SURFING

The WSL has announced the winners of the 2021 Red Bull Big Wave Awards. $350,000 in prize money was awarded across four categories for men’s and women’s divisions: Ride of the Year, Biggest Paddle, Biggest Tow, and Performer of the Year.

Winning the women’s ride of the year was Frances Justine Dupont at Jaws, Hawaii and winning the mens was California’s Peter Mel at Mavericks, California.

Biggest paddle in wave was Paige Alms and Kai Lenny. Biggest tow in was Justine Dupont and Sebastian Steudtner.

Performer of the year went to Justine Dupont and Kai Lenny.

France’s Justine Dupont solidified her position as one of the best in big wave surfing with Ride of the Year, Biggest Tow, and Performer of the Year honours.

Continuing to push

second year in a row, Dupont proved that she is as comfortable in

maxing Jaws as she is at Nazaré. “I think it was my best season so far, so I’m really stoked,” said Dupont.

This year’s Red Bull Big Wave Awards received over 600 submissions with some of the heaviest and most amazing big waves captured during the 2020/2021 season. All submitted waves were evaluated

by a comprehensive judging panel formed

by WSL judges, former pro surfers, big wave specialists, and by members of the WaveCo Science team.

“Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 Red Bull Big Wave Awards,” said Jessi Miley-Dyer, WSL SVP of Tours and Head of Competition.

“My favourite updates this year is that we’re

awarding first through fifth places in both men’s and women’s categories. We evaluated all submissions based on the size of the waves, of course, but we also took into account how heavy the waves were, as athletes are definitely pushing the boundaries of what’s possible by riding those giant waves.”

LIVING THE DREAM

The First Round winner of Delivering Dreams 2021 has just been announced. Eventer Emma Hulse of Greenwich in Sydney, NSW, scooped the $10,000 prize pool, while Darwin’s Nicole Mutimer took home the Readers’ Choice Award - a $1,000 spending spree with Performa Ride.

Both riders are delighted to have been included among the ten finalists, selected from over 700 applications, and even more thrilled to have been awarded the top prizes.

From small beginnings, Delivering Dreams has grown in leaps and bounds.

The initiative is the creation of Fiona Todd, Managing Director of the Equestrian Hub, who had very specific outcomes in mind when she developed the program.

“My long-held dream was to

everyday equestrians who are committed to achieving their best. With the ongoing support of our very generous sponsors, that particular dream has become a reality through the Delivering Dreams program,” she said.

The sponsorship, which includes equine nutritional supplements, coaching, and apparel, plays a significant role in helping to offset the costs associated with a very expensive sport, and is proudly supported by Ariat, the Australian Equine Institute, Barastoc, David Shoobridge, Finch Farm, Kentucky Equine

Research, Optus, PETstock, Performa Ride, Sterling Essentials, Trailrace, and Warwick Schiller Professional Horsemanship.

“That we are able to offer support to equestrians through Delivering Dreams brings tears to my eyes. I believe that with dedication and hard work, dreams are achievable.

To think that we are in a position, in partnership with our amazing sponsors, to play a part in helping everyday equestrians move closer to achieving their goals is beyond wonderful,” Ms Todd said.

“Even more pleasing is the

traction the initiative now has.

From small beginnings we’ve grown at an astonishing rate.

Already we have the support of some of the most trusted and best known names in Australia today. And as more sponsors come on board, the more we are able to offer successful applicants. It really is very, very exciting,” she added.

Applications are welcomed from all Equestrian Hub Magazine subscribers who are 12-years-old and over, no matter what their discipline or level of expertise. The Second Round for 2021 closes on 31 December.
