Woodburn ready to start class action SAMANTHA ELLEY A community meeting hosted by Woodburn Business and Community Chamber at the Memorial Hall saw the majority of residents put up their hands to be involved in a class action against both State and Federal governments on the effects of the M1 highway in the recent catastrophic floods.

Spokesperson for the class action Vanessa Allport, has lived in Woodburn for only 15 months, spending $80,000 on renovations of her home on River Street during that time.

“My house is single storey but it has never had a flood in it in the past 100 years,” she said.

“It went completely under.

“I had flood insurance up until October/ November last year, when my insurance company cancelled my coverage.”

The disability respite

The NSW Government has announced a $350 million investment in temporary modular housing to give people place to call home while they rebuild their lives.

Discussions are underway with local councils across Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Richmond Valley and Lismore Local Government Areas to identify suitable sites for the homes, with preparatory works due to this week.

worker said on the day she left her home, she and her two children evacuated only taking suitcases of clothes.

“A friend came and got me,” she said.

“I thought I would be getting out so I wasn’t stranded and that once the waters went down, I’d come back.

“I’ve lost everything.”

With nearly a quarter of the Woodburn town in attendance at the community meeting, Vanessa and her advisor Nick Crouch of Crouch Amirbeaggi Business Advisors & Insolvency Services, explained the best plan of attack for a class action.

“There is a political solution and we have to do it now with a federal election only six weeks away,” he said.

“They made a road worse for the people of Woodburn, where they will need $150-$200,000 per resident to fix what’s happened,” said Mr Crouch.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the NSW Government was working hand in hand with Councils and communities to deliver the housing solutions.

“There’s no doubt that housing is the most pressing challenge for the thousands of people impacted by these said.

“We’re committed to delivering safe and secure housing communities and this $350 million in 12 29 30 31 35

“That’s around $30 million to fix what they spent $5 billion on.”

Mr Crouch told the meeting attendees they had homework to do and that was to tell their friends living in the Page electorate to join the class action.

Ms Allport said she decided to start the class action when she was driving along the highway and had an overall view of the water.

“I was already annoyed about (the effects of the new highway stopping the water from getting away),” she said.

“I thought ‘Oh my god, it’s a dam’.

“A hydrologist who lives here said the natural course of water was disrupted with the new highway.

“I have no agenda, I just want us all to get help to start our lives again.”

The delivery of up to 2000 temporary modular homes to approved sites across the hardest hit regions comes in addition to the NSW Governnment’s funding to assist around 25,000 households through rental support, Disaster relief programs and the Back Home program.

Scepticism over solar farm info sessions TIM HOWARD Clarence Valley residents opposed to a controversial 85 megawatt solar farm near Grafton are sceptical the value of information sessions the proponents have advertised for later this month.

Infinergy Australia proposed to build power station at a property between 58 Boorman’s Lane and 100 Dilkoon Rd Lower Southgate.

They have just advertised two information sessions to be held at the Grafton Library on April 28 from 4pm to 7pm and April 29 between 11am and 1.30pm.

A spokesman for the the No Solar for Southgate Alliance,

Stephen Grimes, said he believed the sessions were just a box-ticking exercise for the proponents.

“Whatever we say about any of their proposals, they always come up with a way around it,” Mr Grimes said.

“No doubt anything people bring up at these sessions will be just swept aside.”

He said the recent floods had shown there were issues with the location.

“The roads to the site were flooded and inaccessible for days,” he said.

“I live adjacent to the site and we had no road access for 10 days in the first flood and three days in the second.

“We pointed out the North West corner of the site would be flooded, but they said it was no problem, that they would put the panels on stands above the flood level.”

Mr Grimes said a recent accident when a suspected lightning strike set a neighbour’s off grid power system alight, resulting in his house burning down, was an example of the danger the solar farm could pose to locals.

“If something had happened to cause the three big batteries at the farm to burn, the toxic smoke would be all over residents who wouldn’t be able to get away from it,” he said.

“If the roads were flooded like they’ve just been, there’s no way the

fire brigade would be able to get in and put it out.

“And those fires are difficult to put out.”

Mr Grimes said the residents have been active since Infinergy proposed the farm in the middle of last year.

Last year they raised a petition for the Clarence Valley Council, which although not the consent body for the project, gave the residents qualified support.

“The council planners told us they said our concerns about land use and the plan to turn high value agricultural land into an industrial site,” he said.

“There was also nothing about a heavy industrial development like this in the local

planning documents.”

He said the residents met every Monday night to discuss tactics and make sure they kept abreast of all developments.

Infinergy has created a website for the project, www. clarencevalleysolarfarm. com.au that contains updates on the company’s progress with the farm.

It has completed a scoping report for the project and submitted it to the NSW Department of Planning Environment and Industry.

The department has given the company its Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements document, which outlines the steps

the company must take before the DPIE makes a determination on the project.

The company said the project would generate enough electricity to power 51,000 average NSW homes.

In addition to the panels the site would contain three batteries and associated infrastructure.

Mr Grimes said residents would attend the drop-ins to reiterate their opposition to the proposal.

“None of the resident is opposed to solar,” he said. “But it has to be in the right location.

“If it was up on the Tablelands or out west, I don’t there would be a problem with it,” he said.

Fast cars and climbing wall excite minister TIM HOWARD Cars and a climbing wall are well on their way to becoming new attractions for Clarence Valley young people after two youth programs secured the keys to new premises in South Grafton last week.

Changing Lanes, Changing Lives, a youth-driven program that combines car mechanics and car fun and the Clarence Valley Youth Hub, which runs programs that empower young people, will soon begin operating out of an industrial shed in Through St (behind Mend and Make Do).

The programs, run by The New School of Arts in South Grafton, also excited the new Minister for Regional Youth, Arts and Aboriginal Affairs, Ben Franklin, who spent two days in the Clarence last week.

Mr Franklin met Changing Lanes co-ordinator Zac Masters and Youth Hub co-ordinator Amanda Daffey on April 12 and liked what he heard so much he promised to

chip in some money.

“There’s not a lot of funds around at the moment, as you can understand, but I am pretty confident I can get my hands on $2000$3000,” he said.

The two co-ordinators outlined what their programs had achieved.

Mr Masters said the Changing Lanes program was a youth and community garage, where people aged 13 and older could come to learn mechanical skills and also have fun with cars.

“We’ve got access to tools and expertise to teach people about looking after cars,” he said.

“But we also get into motor sports and we have a mobile driving simulator.”

The program also had a committee called Pit Crew, a reference group, which provides community input into the group.

He said a valuable addition has been two police highway patrol members with an interest in cars, who have become involved.

“It’s good for the group to see and mix with police,” he said. “They see they’re just like other people and interested in some of the same things they are.”

He said the program had been running from a shed behind a building in Queen St, which the group outgrew almost immediately.

“We have had seven cars donated to the group to work on, so its really, really crowded over there now,” he said.

Ms Daffey’s ambition is to include a climbing wall in the new shed, after they visited the Bellingen Youth Centre.

“They had a wall for

climbing there as the focus of the centre and it was really popular with the people there,” she said.

She said these facilities don’t come cheap, costing around $24,000 to construct, but they become valuable pieces of community infrastructure.

She said the Youth Hub ran programs that that provided services to young people, including providing suitable entertainment.

“Last week we ran a pool party at Yamba and tonight we’re having cinema under the stars in Maclean,” she said.

She said there was a

serious side to these programs, which aimed to encourage young people to become involved in the community.

“We ask them what thy want their community to look like and to think about what they can do to make it happen,” she said.

Mr Masters and Ms Daffey said people needed to realise they were seeing increasingly young people dealing with problems of youth homelessness and disconnection from education.

“There’s a lot of homeless youth, but nothing locally for them,” Ms Daffey said.

“Many of them are too young to receive any government assistance.”

Mr Master said he knew of one local person who housed up to 15 people in his garage through the week.

“He won’t have them over the weekend, because, as he says, he wants a bit of a life,” he said.

“On the weekends they sleep under bridges or wherever they can find.”

They said the Clarence Valley has an dubious record as the region with the longest average school suspensions.

Ms Daffey said the this created problems for students integrating back into the school group.

“They lose touch with the education, get expelled and end up doing stuff on the streets,” she said.

She said her program tried to connect them back to their schooling through the school and their parents.

Mr Franklin said he was excited by the success of these programs and would do what he could to help them grow in their new building.

“I know there is a lot of help coming from the community, but the government has a part to play in developing these high quality assets,” he said.

“These are clearly terrific programs that are catching kids who are falling through the system and giving them opportunities to contribute to the community,” he said.

Cottage opens to help homeless SAMANTHA ELLEY The opening of Fletcher Street Cottage in Byron Bay last week was very timely, if the most recent report from the Salvation Army is anything to go by.

According to the non profit’s latest Social Justice Stocktake report, 80 per cent of Richmond residents and 69 per cent of Page residents are concerned about housing affordability and homelessness.

This was before the most catastrophic of floods hit the region destroying many people’s homes.

“Homelessness in Byron Bay is only second to Sydney,” said Jenny Ryan, Manager of Fletcher Street Cottage.

“Of the people sleeping rough here, there is a high vulnerability to chronic and mental health issues.”

The cottage opened last Tuesday and has already started providing a daily breakfast, showers, laundry facilities and office support throughout the working week.

“We also have specialised support from groups like the Homelessness, Health and Outreach Team (HHOT), Social Futures and My Momentum,” said Ms Ryan.

“We are hoping to have more specialised services such as legal aid, a GP and dentist in the future.”

Fletcher Street Cottage evolved through

community support where the Byron Community Centre saw a growing need in the area to help those who were sleeping in the dunes, in their cars or even couch surfing.

“We wanted a homey cottagey feeling,” said Ms Ryan.

“Last year we ran a campaign over a month that saw us raise $400,000 and this was during a Covid lockdown.”

The money was used to provide showers and laundry facilities, along with a commercial

kitchen that could provide breakfast in the light-filled courtyard and even a vegetable garden out the back.

“The campaign even provided for six staff roles to help run the cottage,” said Ms Ryan.

“Creative Capital project-managed the renovations and their attention to detail was amazing.

“Details such as providing the courtyard with powerpoints so people who come for breakfast can charge their phones.

“Often if they are

sleeping rough, there is no opportunity to do that.”

Ms Ryan said the aim of the cottage was to give people respite from the angst of being homeless, or houseless and help them to get back on their feet in whatever they needed.

“We are heavily involved in the End Street Rough Sleeping project,” she said.

“But if there is no change to the affordable housing structures we will always see people sleeping rough.”

Ocean Sentinel sculpture immortalises coral crusader When corals settle and grow all over Peter Harrison’s submerged body in a few years’ time the natural process of decay and rebirth will thrill the Southern Cross University marine ecologist.

Fortunately for Peter – and for marine science – it’s not a moment of foreboding.

Instead, in a fascinating art-science metamorphosis, the corals will make their new home on a 2.2 metre-tall submerged likeness by UK installation artist Jason deClaires Taylor. deClaires Taylor’s Ocean Sentinels is a series of eight sculptures, modelled off a handpicked selection of the Great Barrier Reef’s worldleading marine scientists and conservationists, including Southern Cross University’s Distinguished Professor Peter Harrison.

These are a hybrid-form sculpture: a synthesis of human figures and natural marine forms. Crafted using a new high grade, low-carbon earth-friendly concrete and reinforced with marine stainless steel, they weigh as much as 2.8 tonnes.

The artist has morphed Professor Harrison with branching Acropora corals (also known as staghorn corals). Around the statue base, deClaires Taylor has added molecular structures as a nod to Professor Harrison’s extensive scientific research on coral spawning (mass reproduction).

“I hope that in years to come a variety of endemic species such as corals, sponges and hydroids will change the sculptures’

appearance in vibrant and unpredictable ways,” said Mr deCaires Taylor who has been creating underwater museums and sculpture parks beneath the waves for the past 16 years, submerging more than 1,100 living artworks throughout the world’s seas and oceans.

“Like the Great Barrier Reef itself, they will become a living and evolving part of the ecosystem, emphasising both its fragility and its endurance.”

Professor Harrison said he was honoured to have his life’s work celebrated in art at Townsville, nearby to

where his internationallyrecognised coral reef and restoration research began 40 decades ago at Magnetic Island.

“It’s absolutely brilliant; I love the way the coral is engulfing the human form.

In the future I can’t wait to see live corals growing all over it and I disappear.

“I’m hoping Acropora branching corals establish themselves first. It’s the first coral I worked on 40 years ago. These hard, foundational corals are so important for providing habitat for fish and other organisms on the Reef.”

Where to see the Ocean Sentinels All eight Ocean Sentinel pieces are planned to be installed in shallow depths on reef areas near Townsville (at this stage mid-2022), providing the perfect experience for snorkellers and divers to get up close to the sculptures.

Until then, five sculptures (including Professor Harrison’s) are on display at Townsville’s Museum of Tropical Queensland (until May 15), providing the opportunity to see the sentinels on dry land.

2021 Conference

LARA LEAHY

LG NSW 2021 meeting was held in February 2022 due to COVID restrictions.

However, the flooding in February prevented many councils from being represented.

Councillor Danielle Mulholland, who has since been voted in as Chair of the Policy Review Committee, was in attendance.

Cr Mulholland spoke to the motions put forward by the councils in the Northern Rivers region if a council representative was unable to attend.

Policies that were discussed at this years meeting that were initiated by the Northern Rivers include: • Ballina Shire Council requested a royal commission into affordable housing; for NSW to develop a campaign to seek support for a commission to determine not just affordability but the future of housing in Australia. Ballina also brought up fossil fuel divestment with the aim of sustainability investment outcomes.

• Byron Shire Council called for discussion on stamp duty recycling for housing investment to increase housing opportunities. Byron also wants to see First Nations Voice to Council to increase indigenous involvement, awareness and respect in the community.

• Clarence Valley Council requested power to construct and maintain flood mitigation works.

• Tweed Shire Council – Regenerative landscape management that requests investment and research in regenerative agriculture to position NSW as a world leader in best practise landscape management and food security.

Lismore City Council “Energy roadmap” was covered by Dubbo Regional Councils “Gas decarbonisation roadmap”. Essentially to implement sustainable principles and reducing reliance on gas, increasing the use of electric vehicle solutions so NSW can be a leader by setting business, industry and households up to be resilient and sustainable in a decarbonising world.

All of the above policies have been incorporated into local govt policy for actioning.

Kyogle Shire Council lobbied for a change in the formula to determine

Financial Asset Grants, known as FAGs. This vital stream of income was initially introduced to provide funding for disadvantaged councils whose constituents are spread over large areas - especially in rural and regional situations. However the formula has been flattened to benefit all councils across NSW. FAGS as a percentage of council rates revenue makes up 2% of Sydney cities income, 25% for Gunnedah Shire Council and a whopping 63% for Kyogle Shire Council. Cr Mullholland says, “The formula amendment we want will provide the state Grants Commissions with more flexibility in the distribution of the funds to those councils who need it most. It is certainly not a city vs rural/ regional council proposition - this is about delivering necessary and basic services in areas where the population is horizontal rather than vertical.”

Horizontal populations needing more infrastructure - roads, pavements, bridges, causeways as they cover larger areas.

“The larger and generally most affluent Councils in the eastern parts of Sydney are getting an above average share of the FAGs due to the distortion created by the minimum per capita grant amount - how can this be justified when we have people with disabilities who have no pavement to walk on? Or decent roads to drive on? No kerb or guttering, ageing infrastructure, or no water or sewer?”

Kyogle’s motion was not mentioned at the conference, as the prior motion was voted in, making Kyogle’s a moot point. In that motion, Forbes Shire Council wanted LG NSW to urge the Federal Government not to make changes to the methodology of Financial Assistance Grant funding until it is value backed to 1% of Commonwealth tax revenue.

Cr Mullholland was frustrated by this decision as , “the call for FAGS to be tied to tax revenue is not supported. FAGs have not been tied to Commonwealth taxation revenue since 1986. The Federal government has no plans to retie FAGs funding to Commonwealth tax revenue as they see this as increasing the volatility of the payments received by local governments. This is from a direct quote from Minister Coulston’s

letter dated 16 December of 2020 and this position is supported by the new Assistant Minister for Local Government, Kevin Hogan. So why don’t we move forward with a motion which is more in keeping with the intent of the act under which FAGS are distributed, knowing there is the political will to make this change?”

Fighting for councils record low rate peg IPART rate pegging has been set at 0.7% this coming financial year instead of around the predicted 2.5%.

Although that sounds like a discount, in reality, it means that councils will be underfunded, potentially severely.

The LG NSW report says “It fails to recognise the current skyrocketing cost of commodities including fuel costs, construction materials as well as contract and wage increases., “This will leave councils with a shortfall in 2022-23 of anywhere between $90,000 for a small council, $250,000 for a mid-size council and up to over $2 million for the largest councils. The total shortfall for all councils is estimated to be $80-$100 million.”

Cr Danielle Mullholland went on to say, “In the absence of corrective action all councils will be required to cut planned expenditure on infrastructure, services and jobs. The shortfall equates with up to 1,000 jobs.

This is an undesirable outcome for communities, councils and the State Government.

“This blow comes on top of the financial impacts on councils of successive natural disasters and the

ongoing COVID pandemic. Councils have incurred tens of millions of dollars in increased costs in supporting their communities and lost revenue as the result of the downturn in economic activity.”

The Minister for Local Government, Wendy Tucker MP, is undertaking a review on how the 0.7% IPART was determined. A look at the current formula, terminology and data will be reassessed and localised for individual councils to provide a more accurate figure reflecting their specific needs. The aim is to have revised methodologies for next financial year.

In the interim, councils can apply for a variation to the current 0.7% rate to have it brought into line with the councils requirements. Once that is done (by April 29th), IPART open up a community consultation forum in May, (via their website) to gauge community feedback (this consultation is only open to those people in a council that have requested a rate variation). By June 21st, a final report is issued with IPARTS determination so it can be applied for the 2022-23 financial year.

State Government has introduced a $120 million dollar Local Council Support Package. The details of how, when and where this funding is to be distributed is yet to be finalised, but it is being split into two packages. $40 million will go directly to councils to cover extra operational costs, and $80 million will be made available to councils to borrow from to cover rates that are unable to be paid. These loans are expected to have generous benefits - low interest with long repayment time frames.

NEWS Workshopping Cr Danielle Mulholland attended two workshops and a presentation while attending the LG NSW conference.

The workshops were on housing and domestic violence, and the presentation was on climate change. Cr Mulholland reports the following information for further discussion in Kyogle, however they are sensible recommendations for the whole region.

Housing “No matter your income, there is a home for you in NSW. The question is, where?” an enigmatic point made by the Shadow Minister for Planning, Paul Scully.

Housing affordability and supply has reached crisis point. The LG NSW conference surrounded the issues being experienced in Sydney, needless to say rural and regional areas felt the frustration of being omitted from the larger discussion.

First home buyers schemes, developer investment as well as commitments for affordable indigenous housing and talk of what needs to be done dominated the discussion, however solutions to produce 42,000 homes in the next 40 years (believed to be a conservative figure) were short on offer.

NSW has completed a housing strategy report. Supply, affordability, diversity and resilience are the new pillars to be built on.

Locally, the suggestions being put forward are; • To inform the state and federal ministers to address the housing crisis in the Northern Rivers via the JO.

LG NSW is a nongovernmental agency that began in 1883.

It has a vital role supporting councils with leadership and management training, information on grant applications as well as policy making and advice.

This needs to incorporate all the issues being felt across the region, including social housing which is currently below the state average.

• Assess crown land that may be unlocked for housing development.

• Advocate around the housing crisis being experienced post flood and request state and federal government take urgent action to provide accommodation in the short term, and implement strategic responses that reduce the flood risk in the longer term.

Domestic Violence Due to the shocking figures that one in four women experience domestic violence (DV) from the age of 15, expect to see some changes initiated by councils as community influencers.

There is also concern in the increase in the use of DV claims for personal benefit.

These, as well as other issues linked to DV will be addressed to introduce preventative measures starting by fostering positive, equal and respectful relationships across the gender

spectrum.

A new national draft plan addressing women and children in DV situations has been released. Blue Mountains Council have an active solution that is a good example of what can be achieved - the Coalition Against Violent Abuse.

Potential areas for discussion include: • Engage with local groups and media to promote information surrounding DV issues.

• Programs for school aged children.

• Special events to promote gender awareness and acceptance • Involvement in awareness raising activities . “White Ribbon Day” and “Paint a fingernail purple” - indicates a person who has survived domestic violence • Transforming male toilets to genderless option.

• Encourage the inclusion of women in sport.

Climate Change “The benefits of taking action on climate change far outweigh the cost of inaction.” The need is to accelerate targets, otherwise severe consequences can result. If you do not believe in Climate Change, the directive is not to try and change your mind. However, you are asked to leave those trying to make a positive difference, to do their work.

Climate change (as accepted) is accelerating and we need to address the sources - burning of fossil fuels including coal, oil and gas. Consuming these products leads to loss of life due to extreme heat, which kills

11

more people in Australia than any other weather pattern. There will be increasing impacts on primary producers with extreme weather events including prolonged drought and flood events.

The Climate Council states we need to reduce our net emissions by 2025 - 2050 is too late to prevent the global temperature exceeding the two degree limit.

If all the targets that councils have set are met, we would be 96% of the way to achieving the targets set by the Federal Government. Councils and communities are starting to adapt to climate change. An example in Newcastle: • Solar farms are saving Newcastle residents around $9m per annum. This covers about half of their council’s energy use. Administration emissions have been cut by 70%.

• They have transferred their vehicles and machinery to battery power, including larger trucks, chainsaws etc. They are currently transitioning garbage trucks to electric power, reducing mechanical wear and tear.

• Also looking at hydrogen cell technology to power vehicles.

It is suggested that councils review The Northern Rivers Joint Organisation Renewable Energy Blueprint, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) AR6 Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Report released this year.

Councils can research and initiate appropriate and practical recommendations to implement in their areas.

The views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s).

THANK YOU It was a fun afternoon in Evans Head catching up with all my friends from Line dancing. We met we danced for the next two hours, I then headed home back to Casino.

Whilst on my way home I was involved in a car accident, all it took was one second and in a blink of an eye another vehicle swerved on to my side of the road and collided so please drive carefully I would like to make a very special thank you to the Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade and the VRA and whoever else was involved in the accident rescue. A very big thank you to you all I would also like to say a very special thank you to all my family and friends for all the support, best calls and emails. I can’t thank you all enough for your support it’s helping me through my

recovery. I would also like to say a big thank you to the Intensive Care Unit at the Lismore Base Hospital and all the staff.

Thanks again everyone Allie Connolly (Alma) Casino IN RESPONSE TO G. MACDONALD (NR TIMES APRIL 14, 2022): I AM NO ‘AGENT’ FOR ANY PARTY. Far from standing as any sort of fake candidate, I’ve deliberately chosen to stand as an Independent who will represent the community and not the party platform of either major party.

I do not have to toe any party line.

I’m standing as a community Independent because the people of Page are telling me their concerns are not being heard in Canberra.

They want action on climate; they want a Federal ICAC; they want integrity and honesty in politics, they want the housing crisis addressed; they want more funding for aged care, health care and mental health programs.

They want climate action.

I’m proud to have received funding from Climate 200, because it makes electoral success possible. They would not fund me without substantial local funding (over $40,000 of my funding is local). All I had to commit to in their eligibility criteria is that I will act with

honesty and integrity in government. If I was anything else, there would be no point in my running.

Far from standing as some sort of ‘stooge,’ I intend to go to Canberra as an independent who will work with other independents to keep the major parties honest. We will call on them to represent the wishes of electorates who are fed up with their failure to listen; their constant negative attack style politics and their hypocrisy and dishonesty.

I will vote for the issues my community asks for and needs. I housing and local industry, climate action and a federal integrity commission with teeth to hold all politicians to account, including me.

Warm regards, Dr Hanabeth Luke Independent for Page CRANKY Readers may recall my previous letters critising all MPs and the way they treat the aged in relation to the reduction of their aged pensions.

It is blatant discrimination and bastardry.

I am considering standing for the Senate with the following objective policies.

If there isn’t enough money to pay adequate aged pensions in the Treasury and the disgusting assets and income tests is to remain, then I will obtain the required funding TNLby:logo Selling Kirribilli

House to provide for accommodation to victims, incapacitated and the unemployed rather than see them have to visit snake oil bankers for mortgages on their homes as MPs expect of aged pensioners.

I will have all MPs have to travel by public transport on a 12 month $250 travel card.

Cut MPs travel and allowances and they can stay at local hotels.

Reduce MPs salaries according to their other income and assets in the same way as for the Aged Pensioner.

I will sell the PMs jet and he can travel by train or bus.

Sell off the fancy motor vehicles used

by MPs. Plenty of 2nd hand vehicles out there and they can drive themselves.

Increase taxes on the rich by reintroducing the progressive taxation system.

Sell the Australian Ambassadors residences in the USA and GB. The Bronx and East End are available for their new homes.

Immediately sack those that want to use Parliament House for their sexual activities.

Have independent candidates declare where their preferences are going.

Health Funds will stop rorting with extortionate premiums or I will have legislation introduced to do so.. No more health by wealth.

Tax the Governor Generals salary as the Queen now pays income

tax.

Am I on a winner so far?

CRANKY Claire De Ellae Urbenville HOMELESSNESS ISSUE AFTER FLOODS There are many property owners in the Northern Rivers who leave their houses / apartments empty for a good portion of the year and only visit occasionally.

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

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

Liz Friend Ocean Shores THANK YOU BARRY WALSH...I’M WITH YOU 100+% (NRT 24/2) Once upon a time.

Something truly really wonderful happened.

It was an historic land hand back decision to the Widjabul Wiabal people that established Lismore City Council as a Regional Leader in reconciliation with First

Nation’s People.

HOWEVER, an Apprentice, newly learning, Councillor to Lismore City Council, has proposed that this historic gesture be... well, kinda cancelled ‘cos Lismore City Council needs to sell things to get themselves out of the $$$ pothole What the hell have the Widjabul Wiabal people have to do with the incompetence of Lismore City Council over many years? Truly unbelievable. What I had naively thought might have seen a change in Council direction is once again in a faraway land.

Benni Girard’s Hill SHOCK HORROR! Albanese didn’t know the unemployment So what! What is the that don’t show the true picture?

Frydenberg won’t tell us how many hours a week someone must work to be considered employed. He won’t tell you how many people have a job that doesn’t pay a living wage.

He will campaign using these dodgy takes’ Scomo tells you he will create 1 million jobs maybe we should ask him how many of these will be permanent and pay a living wage.

things you’ll ever see.

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

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

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

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

college degree.”

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

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

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

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

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

Independent antidote to decline in democracy TIM HOWARD Australian democracy has been in decline and one of the few hopeful signs was the rise of independent candidates in the federal election says former ABC journalist Kerry O’Brien.

O’Brien and former Independent Member for Indi, Cathy McGowan, were in Grafton earlier this month to lead a discussion about the role of independents in the upcoming election.

The discussion was organised by the Independent candidate for Page, Hanabeth Luke, and attracted a crowd of about 120 to the Grafton District Services Club on April 3.

Just before the event, O’Brien spoke to The Northern Rivers Times about the state of Australian politics.

A career spanning 56 as a journalist and political advisor has given O’Brien an insight into the national scene.

He was press secretary to Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and his deputy Lionel Bowen and has fronted the national broadcaster’s flagship current affairs programs, Four Corners, Lateline and the 7.30 Report.

O’Brien, who now lives in Byron Bay, said the malaise gripping Australian political life goes back 20 to 30 years and has been exacerbated by a fall in media standards over the same time.

“II think it’s about the decline of the effectiveness and the relevance of the major parties,” he said.

“They have become

disconnected from their bases and what happened to Labor maybe 25 years ago, where the old left of Labor walked away disgruntled and became part of the Greens is now happening with the with what you would call the small ‘l’ or moderate Liberals, who feel they’ve no longer got a voice in the Liberal Party.”

O’Brien said he was not interested in aligning with any party, but had fears for what he described as “the decline of democracy”.

He said the major parties had lost the support of the public.

“Today … there is enormous cynicism, disillusion and confusion amongst the broad Australian public about what has gone wrong with government,” he said. “(It’s) why it is less responsive than it needs to be, why so many people no longer feel they are enfranchised.”

On the media scene O’Brien said his old employer, the ABC, has never been so important in the digital age.

He said the collapse of the funding model for traditional media meant resources for quality journalism had been stripped away and it struggled to remain relevant.

But he said while Auntie’s newsrooms while they were not under those commercial pressures, they still came under attack from government cutbacks.

O’Brien said the major parties took too many people too much for granted and had become

obsessed with power for powers sake, rather than a goal like “running a country”.

“There are too many areas where policy vacuums have been created, climate change is the obvious one,” he said.

The role

of factions in the party was another area where O’Brien said politics had changed radically in the 21st Century.

“The major parties are too caught up in their own internal politics,” he said.

“They have become rigid with their factional games and the electorate is forgotten.”

He said Labor’s factions had once served an Important function as vehicle to run its policy debates.

He said this was demonstrated in the Hawke/Keating years (1983-96), where there was a lot of serious policy and a great deal of reform resulted.

“Over time those factions became more

interested in using their influence inside the party to promote members inside the faction into ministries.

“It became a career device more than a policy-driven device.

“In both parties now the branches are deeply factionalised and those factions are more about using the numbers to get their person up into the parliament and in many cases it is regardless if they have abilities that can be used constructively in the parliament.”

Falling party membership has also become an issue.

“Any membership drives you now see have little to do with reinvigorating the party and more about

branch stacking to get a favoured person into the parliament,” he said.

“It’s all about the use and abuse of power. It’s not the use of power for serious democratic outcomes.”

O’Brien has watched the rise of independents and saw them as some sort of antidote to the decline of democracy he feared.

“What I’m seeing is healthy debates being sparked by the presence of independents in the process,” he said.

“What I’m interested in is genuine grassroots discussion which is putting the spotlight on what democracy means and how the atrophying of the veins of the major parties can be countered.

“At the least they’re

driving healthy debate and asking the questions that need to be asked.”

O’Brien has not written off the major parties, but he would like to see a multi-party system develop here.

“There are no rules about how a democracy should be in terms of how many parties there should be,” he said.

“One of the key requirements for a healthy democracy is stability and one thing you can absolutely say – regardless of what side of politics you come from – the politics that emanate from Canberra these days are deeply unstable and you only have to look at the number of leaders in the last 20 years to see the evidence of that.”

Help for Terry the Sssssnake catcher SAMANTHA ELLEY AND SAMANTHA KENNEDY Whenever a resident found a snake on their premises and wanted it removed, there was always one person they could rely on for help.

Terry the snake catcher.

Terry Collins and his family have lived in Coraki for the past 35 years and like so many others, they lost everything in the two recent floods.

Terry travels between Tabulam, Old Bonalbo, Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Grafton and the Tweed, catching and releasing snakes when needed.

He only ever asks for fuel money when he is called out and will catch snakes for free for the older pensioners, who often provide him with a home-cooked meal as a gesture of thanks.

The floods have made Terry even busier as he has been catching up to 40 snakes a day, due to the flood waters displacing them, forcing them to find higher ground, which usually means homes and sheds.

Terry doesn’t just

release the snakes back into the wild. He often takes them home, cleans them of any ticks they may have and feeds them for up to a week before he finds the right place to free them.

During the second flood, while helping a mother and young child with a brown snake in their car, he was bitten.

Luckily his sister Tamara is a nurse and with the aid of snake compression bandages he survived and is still recovering.

Terry needs a number of snake catching tools to continue his work including proper size medium snake gloves, a fridge, TV, microwave or a small toaster oven and fuel or fuel cards.

“All me boots got washed away, I’ve contacted Blundstone to see if I could get some replacement boots and I’m still waiting for them to come through the mail,” said Terry.

“They need to be proper snake catching gloves, which I will probably never be able to afford again.”

Terry said he has been saving every drop of fuel to be able to catch snakes

as he is needed.

“Everyone has a gift, sparkies can do electricals, builders rebuild homes,” he said.

“I was just doing what I could do and that’s catching snakes.”

If you would like to help Terry get back on his feet and equip him properly to keep catching snakes, you can contact him or his sister Tamara on Facebook. His page is Terry Coraki Snake Catcher.

Festivals one-stop shop guide goes live Music festival organisers now have a one-stop shop to help them plan the ultimate safe and sound event.

The online Music Festivals Guide has been developed to make it easier for operators to organise their events and get on with the job of entertaining communities.

Minister for Hospitality and Racing Kevin Anderson said music

festivals are a big part of the State’s entertainment scene and the NSW Government is committed to helping them return with “Music festivals are a

great time for people to enjoy a live performance, but they also provide an economic boost to towns and regions through jobs and tourism dollars,” Mr Anderson said.

“We know organising

a festival can be a challenging process and that is why we have developed this website, to cut the red tape and make it easier for organisers to get their events up and running.”

The online resource will enable festival organisers to refer to a simple approvals checklist, understand who to talk to, what approvals are needed, and when, so the festival

runs smoothly.

Bluesfest CEO Nadja Konietzko said the music festival guide is welcome because the more guidance there is when obtaining approvals, the clearer the processes.

“The past four years have been challenging, as we’ve had money held in escrow and unavailable to us, shortage of experienced crew who are leaving the industry

impacts.”

The NSW Government also launched the Event Saver Fund in January to to organisers of major events, in the event they are cancelled or a direct result of a Public Health Order.

Federal Labor is backing veterans Shayne Neumann said a new veteran hub in the Tweed would be a one-stop shop for veterans and their families to access a range of services, including transition, wellbeing support, advocacy, employment, housing assistance and social

connection.

“The centre will be a family-friendly space and provide one-on-one support for veterans and their families, bringing together critical services under one roof,” he said.

“It’s important for our veterans and their families to have a

dedicated place where they can go to connect with each other and access the assistance they need close to home.

“There has been an increased need for support services in the region as a result of long wait times for veteran claims, the Royal

Commission into defence and veteran suicide, and Australia’s withdrawal from the conflict in Afghanistan last year.”

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot said a new centre would be a much-needed addition to the region and would also benefit

Mayor’s answer sparks more questions TIM HOWARD Clarence Valley Mayor Ian Tiley may have broken the rules when he was asked if two councillors had breached the council’s Code of Conduct with comments critical of him in the media.

Part 9 of the Clarence Valley Council Code of Conduct contains guidelines on what can and cannot be said about Code of Conduct complaints.

Under the sub heading Disclosure of information about the consideration of a matter under the Procedures, it says: 9.10 You must not allege breaches of this code other than by way of a complaint made or initiated under the Procedures.

9.11 You must not make allegations about, or disclose information about, suspected

breaches of this code at council, committee or other meetings, whether open to the public or not, or in any other forum, whether public or not.

The paragraphs raise questions over the mayor’s answer to a question if Crs Debrah Novak and Karen Toms might have breached the Code of Comments with letters to the editor and a radio interview, critical of him.

He said they definitely had, but also stressed he was not convinced a Code of Conduct complaint was a good idea. ““But that’s all I want to say,” he said last month. “I don’t want to add fuel to the fire. There may be repercussions, but I want to talk about positive things.”

The council’s acting general manager, Laura Black, confirmed in a subsequent interview on breakfast radio Loving

Life FM103.1, there was no Code of Conduct complaint against Crs Novak and Toms.

Cr Tiley refused to discuss the issue further.

“All it’s doing is throwing more fuel on the fire,” he said last week. “I won’t make any further comments on the matter.”

But he said Code of Conduct complaints were confidential and he did not know of any before the council now.

The mayor was also incorrect when he said in his radio interview that Cr Novak had breached the code twice.

Cr Novak’s only breach was in 2018 over social media comments she made about some council staff members.

She was formally censured and undertook training courses that cost the council $7450.

She disputed the mayor’s claim that cumulative code

breaches could result in stiffer censure.

Cr Novak said because of Part 9 of the code she did not want to comment further and said it would be best to seek clarification from the NSW Office of Local Government Cr Toms said it was not up to the mayor to discipline councillors.

“A mayor is one of nine equals,” she said.

“He was elected by the majority of his peers.

“A mayor’s role does not include making a determination of wrongdoing against his peers conduct then sharing his determination publicly.

“There is a code of conduct and procedures in the event of conduct complaints to the general manager against councillors.

Cr Toms said her letter to the editor was not critical of the council.

“It was standing up for council process,” she

said. “My letter corrected the mayor’s statement of his feelings and beliefs on the process so far of the pending sale of the South Grafton Visitor Information Centre.

“The staff were following the former council’s resolutions which included delegations to the general manager.”

A spokesperson for the NSWOLG said the office preferred councils to deal with these sorts of matters, barring exceptional circumstances.

He said the office has a Model Code of Conduct that was a minimum benchmark for all councils.

“Information about code of conduct complaints must be treated as confidential to ensure complaints are dealt with fairly,” he said.

“It is a breach of the code to publicly allege

breaches by others, or to disclose information about complaints.

“Councillors are free to comment on council business, but must do so in line with the council’s media policy, and must not disclose confidential information, or they will be in breach of the council’s code of conduct.”

He said prior breaches of the code do not automatically attract stiffer penalties.

“When determining the penalty for a breach of a council’s code of conduct, previous breaches of the code may be considered but would not automatically result in suspension,” he said.

The Model Code of Conduct for Local Councils in NSW, under the Local Government Act 1993 is under independent review now.

It is due to be completed in the second half of this year.

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

BROTHER MIKE teaches Mum to drive…

‘Leemo Cat’ again.

Ooooh, how nifty life is! ‘Mum Jane’ and me have been living in a most amicable fashion for days now.

(She adores me of course.) I decided to ask her some nifty questions in my endeavour to prolong this UNUSUAL state of blissful harmony.

‘Mum, did you truly really see lions when you lived in Africa?’

She looked quite enraptured that I was exhibiting an interest in her life. (It’s called serious “sucking up” actually.) ‘Leems my precious, I saw MANY MANY lions, and on one occasion I was so close to a Pride of them, I could almost pat them’. I responded by asking ‘EEEK Mum, weren’t you alarmed? They could have done swift feline pounces, pinned you to the ground and shared you for lunch.’

A kinda ‘curious’ look went across her wrinky countenance, hmmmm?

She went on. ‘Leems, I guess I should ‘fess up about this encounter so sit back and listen.’

So, I sat in my most beguiling pose, paws neatly tucked, ears a zealous look on my face. Well, one day, one of Mum’s brothers, Mike, paid her a visit.

He came all the way from Australia. Whilst visiting, he asked Mum when she had learned

to drive ‘cos there was a big land rover right outside her house.

Mum told him she had not learned to drive and was ‘minding’ it for a few months for a friend. So, with kind intent, Mike suggested that whilst he was staying he would teach her to drive.

THEN, only an hour later, Mum received a message from the Game Warden saying that there was a Pride of lions feasting on a zebra kill and would she and Mike like to come and see them?

‘Naturally Leems, Mike was most excited about this opportunity.’

He informed Mum that “she” should drive the land rover. He would tell her what pedals & stuff to push. So, off they went into the bush. Mum told me Mike was a rather RARE type of driving instructor. About every 8 minutes he would say ‘OK Jane, STOP! You missed a pothole/ bump…do you want to go back and try again?’ Mum said she was a little confused about these ‘driving commands’ but guessed they must be a way of ensuring she learned to drive in a most excellent manner. Aha, they spied the Game Warden’s vehicle, and he signalled them to follow him. It would appear that Mum took this as an indicator to GO FAST…so she did, straight into a thorn tree, under which 5 very shocked lions had their zebra lunch rudely interrupted. They were not amused and made drooling. From what I could work out, Mum burst into tears and hid under the steering wheel. Mike told her to get up and bloody well drive. OMG, I was story. I’m not going in our little car with her ever ever again.

Believe you me.. it gets worse. I’ll tell you HOW Mum actually GOT her Driver’s Licence another time.

Most shaky purrsies, Leemo.

THE GOOD DOCTOR

PRIME7, 9pm

SATURDAY

FATHER BROWN

ABC, 7.30pm

This week, Father Brown turns into Dan Brown, with everyone’s favourite crime-solving priest (Mark Williams) on a mission to recover a lost relic in a 15th-century castle. A mysterious visit from the new Cardinal sets the plot in motion, having discovered that a priceless Papal tiara missing for half a millennium is likely hidden in nearby Brintley Castle. A sly ruse sees Lady Felicia (Nancy Carroll) and charismatic charlatan Hercule Flambeau (John Light), accompanied by Father Brown and Mrs McCarthy (Sorcha Cusack), pretend to be scouting for wedding venues in order to infiltrate the castle and solve the centuries-old mystery.

Life-and-death situations are the backbone of medical dramas. When a patient’s life is in danger, the melodramatic music surges and viewers are sucked into the high-stakes emotions. In The Good Doctor, the lens is instead on the small (and big) interactions between its characters. Shaun (Freddie Highmore, right) is one of the most unique medicos seen in a TV series; a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, he struggles socially and abhors change. In ““Piece of Cake”, he is pushed to the edge. It contains the standard life-on-the-line situation, but it’s the pressure of dealing with changes to the hospital’s staff and procedures that provides the pulse.

TRAVEL GUIDES

NBN, 7.30pm

After five seasons of travel shenanigans, fans know what to expect from this offbeat series which sends a hotchpotch group of Aussies to various destinations around the world. Featuring the “bogan” Fren family, posh retirees Kevin and Janetta, and tough-as-nails country sisters Stacey and Mel (above), even after years of sightseeing, there’s no real evolution in their hackneyed reviews. Scripted or not, we can almost guess how they’ll critique a location; perhaps that’s the definition of comfort viewing. Tonight, the amateur reviewers continue their tour around Australia, with the nation’s most far-flung capital city, Perth, the destination put under their microscope this week.

Short-term holiday rental hosts warned not to risk being uninsured The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) is warning short-term holiday rental hosts not to place their most valuable asset at risk.

The attraction of earning extra income from short-term holiday appealing, but for the uninsured it could lead to disaster.

Almost 500,000 Australian hosts have listed their property on short-term holiday rental platforms since 2016 and Easter and Christmas are particularly popular

times to list a home.

However, hosts who offer their properties on short-term holiday rental platforms are most likely not protected for any damage caused by their short-term tenants under their home and contents insurance.

Most insurers regard short-term holiday rental as a commercial use of a property or a business activity.

A home building or contents claim incurred while a property is being rented by short-term tenants may be declined,

leaving the host potentially vulnerable to Some insurers have responded to the increasing popularity of short-term holiday rentals by offering specialty policies. Cover like this can be tailored to the number of nights the property is rented and the daily cost can be as little as the price of a take-away coffee.

It can cover paying guest-related accidental or malicious damage, theft or attempted theft,

personal liability if a guest is injured, identity theft, and strata property damage.

Short-term landlord insurance policies are also available to cover a professionally managed property.

Hosts considering short-term holiday renting should: • Check their building and contents insurance policy details prior to advertising on short-stay holiday rental platforms.

If the policy doesn’t cover short-term rental look for a specialty

• Not rely solely on the rental platform’s host protection insurance as there may be gaps in the cover offered.

• Be aware that home insurance includes public liability coverage, however, the commercial activity of short-term holiday stays may invalidate this cover for some claims.

• Reduce the risk of theft by removing

valuables.

• Check strata rules, tenancy agreements and local council laws because these may prohibit short-stay holiday rental.

• Ensure their property is safe and secure.

Andrew Hall, CEO ICA said: “The Insurance Council is aware of frightening stories of hosts returning after short-term paying guests have departed to of possessions or

“The RBA has estimated that 3½ per cent of Australia’s dwellings may be exposed to elevated risk from climate-related events – denoted by a ‘value at risk’ of more than 1 per cent – and this share of dwellings could increase to 8 per cent by the end of the century.

“With the total value of the residential market

Commercial landlord hardship fund applications open Commercial landlords who provided rental relief to tenants between January 14 and March 13, 2022 can now apply for grants of up to $3,000 a month per eligible property.

Small Business Minister Eleni Petinos said the third tranche of the Commercial Landlord Hardship Fund would allow eligible landlords to offset the costs of providing rental

assistance to tenants who experienced disruption during the Omicron wave.

“Because of the disruption caused to small businesses

by Omicron, we’ve extended the Commercial Landlord Hardship Fund that has already provided $14 million to nearly 2,000 businesses,” Ms Petinos said.

“Eligible commercial

landlords who provided support to retail and commercial tenants from 14 January to 13 March this year can now apply for grants of up to $3,000 a month for each eligible property.

“Throughout the pandemic the NSW Government has responded to the evolving challenges and we will continue to provide the small business community with

the necessary support.”

To be eligible for a grant through the third round of the scheme, landlords with up to $5 million in total land holdings must have entered into an agreement to provide rental relief to tenants between January 14 and March 13, 2022.

The grant is equal to the value of the rental waiver provided to tenants, up to a maximum of $3000 per

month, for each eligible property.

Stronger focus on biosecurity welcomed NSW Farmers is backing calls from NSW Agriculture Minister Dugald Saunders to make biosecurity a stronger focus ahead of the federal election, as pests and diseases continue to threaten the multibillion-dollar agriculture sector.

Biosecurity was front of mind for Minister Saunders this week as he attended the Royal Easter Show and urged his federal Nationals counterparts to do more on the critical issue.

Matthew Madden from the NSW Farmers Biosecurity Committee said pushing for biosecurity funding

was a key focus for the association, prompting several pre-budget requests for the state government.

“Over the past few years we’ve seen commitments to biosecurity that haven’t really delivered the sustainable funding required for long-term growth and security,” Mr Madden said.

“Biosecurity is a perpetual concern given the extreme cost a disease outbreak would carry, as well as the significant trade advantage Australia holds thanks to our relative disease-free status.

“At a state level, investment needs to be made in research and development to find smart and innovative solutions to threats, while at a national level we need a long-term funding model that makes those presenting a biosecurity risk pay.”

In recent years, reports on the state of biosecurity operations in Australia have highlighted the need for agencies to better respond to biosecurity risk and for adequate investment in detection systems. The discovery of two live-rooted rose plants at the Sydney Gateway Facility last

year carried the risk of introducing Xylella fastidiosa, which was an incurable threat to more than 500 plant species and native plants.

A single disease outbreak could cost billions and would be fatal to the growth of Australian agriculture, Mr Madden said.

“Australia needs to be prepared with a stronger biosecurity system to fight emergent threats in a modern world,” he said.

“The recent spread of Japanese encephalitis virus to places it has never been in Australia, namely NSW and Victoria, tells us

something about our changing environment and ecosystems – and we need to be prepared for that.

“We have been forewarned by Australia’s chief science agency, CSIRO, that a globalised world and a changing climate will present new biosecurity risks, and we absolutely cannot be caught flatfooted on this issue.”

NSW Farmers has asked the NSW Government to commit to: • $25 million in the next year to fund mitigation and preparedness action that ensures primary

producers have the capacity to effectively prepare, respond, and recover from incursions of exotic pests and disease.

• $60 million over two years to ensure that biosecurity training, testing, diagnostic tools across multiple commodity areas are both prioritised and delivered.

• $2 million over two years to take a leading role in livestock traceability education, compliance, and costs.

Agricultural productivity must not be forgotten NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin says the decision to renew petroleum exploration licenses in the Liverpool Plains is a very disappointing given the agricultural productivity of the land and water in the region.

Last week the NSW Government quietly renewed coal seam gas exploration tenements owned by Santos.

Mr Martin, a grain

farmer from the area, said NSW Farmers policy was that CSG posed an unacceptable and unmanageable risk

to the water resources, soil and air quality, local and rural communities.

amount of highly fertile, productive agricultural land in this country, and we must be very careful about how we use it,” Mr Martin said.

“Australia feeds 75 million people every year and there are increasing demands for food from our healthy plants and healthy animals.

“Once agricultural land is lost it is lost forever, and it is disappointing to see this decision

leave the gate open for developments that are just not right for this area.”

Mr Martin said the fact remained the full impact of this exploration was unknown.

“We don’t know what might happen to our land and water, and what irreparable damage might be caused,” Mr Martin said.

“We need to protect the Liverpool Plains, as it is

an iconic food producing region, from degradation by coal and coal seam gas development.

“If the NSW Government does not heed warnings about the risk of long-term damage to land and water resources, then it must take full responsibility and liability for any damage.”

NSW Farmers has warned politicians to focus on outcomes, not point-scoring, as the federal election campaign heats up.

With both sides squaring off on the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, NSW Farmers Water Taskforce Chair Richard Bootle said NSW Farmers Association had clear policy that purchasing

water buybacks shouldn’t recommence until the Commonwealth had made a full assessment of the: a. transparency and auditing of previous water purchases, b. impact on new purchases on the viability of group supply systems, c. impact on new purchases on irrigation dependent communities,

including demographics, and d. impact on irrigated agriculture’s ability to continue to sustain and increase food production.

“Just announcing more water recovery without going into the how and why is simply not good enough, and has the potential to do real damage to the years of progress made on water management,” Mr Bootle

said.

“There are ways to achieve environmental outcomes while protecting productivity and the sustainability of our regions, but it’s not by playing political hardball.”

Farmers have endured and a mouse plague since the basin plan was introduced more than a decade ago, and

the sector has started growing again. This year Australian agriculture is valued at more than $80 billion, and $1 out of every $7 of export in NSW comes from the farm sector. With Australia’s food and Mr Bootle said there needed to be certainty for farmers and regional investment.

“There are real

opportunities to deliver environmental outcomes to the river system without reducing production,” Mr Bootle said.

“I would call on both sides to put aside the political point scoring around who’s tougher on water, and instead build upon the opportunities in the basin plan that have been hard fought but are still yet incomplete.”

Thank a farmer on your next shop NSW Farmers Dairy Committee Chair Colin Thompson says the best way to thank farmers is being savvy when you shop.

With the focus well and truly on agriculture during the Royal Easter Show, Mr Thompson said it was important not to forget those flood-affected dairy farmers on the north and south coasts.

“While farmers on the south coast were spared the terrible flooding we saw around Lismore, everyone on the east coast copped an absolute drenching over the past few weeks,” Mr Thompson said.

“Supporting our farmers can be as simple as choosing to buy quality branded Australian products at the supermarket.

“The recovery from these floods will take a long time, but every little bit helps.”

Hunting licence course now available online The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has made it easier for hunters with the launch of the new Restricted Game Hunting Licence (R-Licence) Accreditation Course.

DPI Deputy Director General Fisheries and Hunting, Sean Sloan said making hunter education more accessible is a crucial step in ensuring hunting is conducted safely and ethically in NSW. “In order to get licensed to hunt in over 200 NSW State forests declared and

open to hunting, hunters must first successfully complete the R-Licence Accreditation Course and become a member of an Approved Hunting Organisation,” Mr Sloan said.

“The process of obtaining a licence has now been accelerated, by introducing an online option to complete the accreditation course, in addition to the current face-to-face mode of delivery.

“Having the course available online means hunters can access the

course anywhere, at any time, and complete the training at their own pace.

“This is fantastic news for hunters from all over Australia who want to get licensed to hunt in NSW and improve their hunting knowledge.”

Regulated hunting generates a range of social and economic benefits of NSW. In 2020-21, it is estimated that hunting related activities generated $1,406 million in expenditure.

The new R-Licence

Accreditation Course features real-life hunting scenarios and best practice methods to provide hunters with more comprehensive and relevant education about legal hunting in NSW. “The online option brings the R-Licence Accreditation Course into the digital age with new graphics, images, animations and video tutorials,” he said.

“Additional training modules that previously needed to be completed by hunters after they have obtained their

Free trade agreement welcome news The announcement of an interim Free Trade Agreement with India is welcome news for the Australian macadamia industry, says Jolyon Burnett, the CEO of the industry’s peak industry body, the Australian Macadamia Society (AMS).

The agreement will see a removal of import tariffs on Australian macadamias into India over the next seven

years, making India a very attractive market for Australian macadamia exporters. Currently the tariff is sitting at 32%.

“We congratulate the Australian government on this historic agreement and the years of detailed negotiations that are behind it,” said Mr Burnett.

Mr Burnett said the removal of the tariff will align perfectly with the industry’s plans to

develop India as one of the largest and most important markets for Australian Macadamias.

“This agreement opens the door to a potentially huge market at a time when the industry is rapidly increasing supply and actively looking for new markets.

“Eating nuts is part of the Indian way of life and with the necessary market research and trade development, India has

the potential to be worth up to $100 million to the industry.”

Mr Burnett said that with support from the Australian Government through its Agricultural Trade and Market Access Cooperation (ATMAC) program, the AMS has recently completed initial market development work which has of the Indian market.

R-Licence have also been incorporated into the accreditation course, to further expedite the process for newly licensed hunters.

“It is also good news for hunters wanting to hunt interstate or overseas, as the new course is approved by the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA), allowing licence holders to apply for reciprocal licensing in IHEA member states across the world.”

The new R-Licence Accreditation Course

is part of the NSW Department of Primary Industries Hunter Learning, Education and Accreditation Program (LEAP).

Hunter LEAP ensures that individuals seeking to hunt on public lands are suitably educated and provides NSW Game Hunting Licence holders with access to a range of short courses and workshops to improve their skills and learn new techniques.

The highlight is the addition of Ford’s proven 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel, which is being offered on both Ranger and the Everest SUV. “We’re offering this engine specifically because some customers told us they wanted more power and torque for towing and extreme off-roading,” said Maharaj.

Ford engineers treated the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel like a brand-new engine, resulting in 184 kW of power at 3,250 rpm and 600Nm of torque from 1,750-2,250 rpm in both Ranger and Everest. “We did a lot of application calibration and validation work in both the US and

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

Australia to make sure it would meet the needs of Ranger and Everest customers,” said Maharaj.

“The 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel delivers,” added Maharaj. “When you drive a Ranger with the V6 turbo-diesel, it feels like a much bigger truck. And it feels strong in the sense that it’s got plenty of power and torque, which is exactly what our customers told us they wanted.”

In addition to the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel, the Ranger will also offer the Single-Turbo 2.0-litre and the Bi-Turbo 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder diesels.

The bi-turbo makes 154 kW at 3,750 rpm and 500 Nm from 1,750-2,000. It has a bypass system that determines the optimum operating mode, meaning the turbochargers can operate in series (at lower engine speeds for enhanced torque and responsiveness) or the smaller turbo can be bypassed allowing the larger turbocharger to deliver high power.

The Single-Turbo diesel has 125 kW at 3,500 rpm and 405 Nm from 1,750-2,500 rpm.

Transmission choices include a 10-speed auto that’s available on the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel and 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo engines.

The current six-speed automatic transmission available on Ranger will continue with the 2.0L Single-Turbo.

“Our customers told us that one of the reasons they love Ranger is because it’s one of the best vehicles on the road for ride comfort and car-like performance. So, retaining that and balancing it with off-road performance has been key throughout the development of Next-Generation Ranger,” said Rob Hugo, dynamic experiences supervisor, Ranger.

A 50mm track and wheelbase increase for Next-Gen Ranger has improved vehicle stability on- and off-road, said Hugo. It has also improved the unladen front approach angle and unladen rear departure angle.

The track increases the width of Next-Gen Ranger’s tray which now fits a Euro pallet.

The rear dampers were moved outboard of the springs which makes for a more controlled ride whether the vehicle is laden or not.

“The outboard dampers have allowed us to tune a more controlled ride whether the vehicle is carrying a heavy load or not and solve a common complaint of

pickups with inboard mounted dampers that they can bounce or skip when unladen,” Hugo said.

There’s more storage space inside of Ranger; under-seat storage on Super and Double Cab models retractable drink holders on Wildtrak and Raptor.

There’s room under the bonnet for an optional second battery.

The Wildtrak can be fitted with an optional auxiliary switch bank (standard on Raptor) making it easier to install accessories like driving lights, a winch and more. Moulded slots in the bedliner allow you to fit dividers to customise the tray, allowing you to store gear and stop it from sliding around.

Ford is offering two four-wheel drive systems for Next-Gen Ranger. The base four-wheel drive is a ‘part-time’ system with a two-speed electronic shift-onthe-fly transfer case offering 2H, 4H and 4L as modes of operation. Next-Gen Ranger is also available with an on-demand four-wheel drive system (2H, 4A, 4H, and 4L) which allows Ranger to be driven in four-wheel drive on high-traction surfaces via its 4A (automatic) mode. When selected, the system continuously distributes

power between the front and rear axles for optimum performance in all on-road conditions.

The Ranger continues to be offered with an electronic rear differential lock which can be activated via the SYNC 4A13 screen. A differential lock allows both wheels on a specific axle to turn at the same speed providing additional traction when you’re off-roading.

The latest Ranger will offer up to six, depending on the variant.

The modes are: Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul (auto only), Slippery for on-road, and Mud/Ruts and Sand for use off-road. These modes adjust everything from the gearshift to throttle response, traction and stability controls, ABS and more.

“These selectable drive modes are a very simple way of getting advanced traction to the wheels the way it needs to be delivered without having to be an expert,” said Hugo.

Tow/Haul mode is a brandnew drive mode and is designed for those towing or carrying a heavy load in their Ranger. Selecting Tow/Haul mode optimises the gear shift timing to maintain power when you’re climbing up a hill or deliver the right amount of engine braking when you’re travelling down a hill. The latest Ranger continues with a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg with a 350 kg tow ball download limit.

Next-Gen Ranger, depending on the model, now has an integrated trailer brake controller, trailer connection checklist and trailer light check to simplify the process of hooking up your trailer. Driver assistance technology allow for drivers to programme the size of their trailer for added coverage of their blind spots.

Unemployment drops to 7.8%; lowest for more than two years The latest Roy Morgan employment series data shows unemployment dropping to its lowest since the pandemic began, down 0.7% points to 7.8% - the lowest since October 2019. However, underemployment increased by almost as much and was up 0.6% points to 8.4%.

The moves in the employment market led to unemployment falling 94,000 to 1.13 million Australians (7.8% of the workforce) in March while under-employment increased 93,000 to

1.22 million (8.4% of the workforce). Overall unemployment and under-employment was virtually unchanged at 2.36 million.

• Workforce increased 80,000 in March as employers hire more workers: The workforce in March was 14,523,000 (up 80,000 from February) – comprised of 13,390,000 employed Australians (up 174,000) and 1,133,000 unemployed Australians looking for work (down 94,000); • Employment

increased driven by an increase in part-time employment: Australian employment increased by 174,000 to 13,390,000 in March driven by an increase in part-time employment, up 289,000 to 4,712,000.

However, full-time employment decreased by 115,000 to 8,678,000; • Unemployment was down in March and is well down on a year ago: 1,133,000 Australians were unemployed (7.8% of the workforce), a decrease of 94,000 from February with fewer people looking for full-

time work (down 76,000 to 387,000) and also fewer people looking for part-time work, down 18,000 to 746,000.

• Under-employment was up in March as part-time employment increased: In addition to the unemployed, 1.22 million Australians (8.4% of the workforce) were under-employed – working part-time but looking for more work, an increase of 93,000 (up 0.6% points) from February. When part-time employment increases (up 289,000 in March), underemployment usually increases as well as more people working part-time leads to more people wanting to work more hours.

In total 2.36 million Australians (16.2% of the workforce) were either unemployed or under-employed in March, virtually unchanged on February.

Nevertheless, this is the lowest combined unemployed and underemployed since prepandemic in November 2019 – 2.23 million (16.1%).

Compared to early March 2020, before the nation-wide lockdown, in March 2022 there were almost 200,000 more Australians either unemployed or under-employed (+0.6% points) even though overall employment (13,390,000) is over 500,000 higher than it was pre-COVID-19 (12,872,000).

Roy Morgan’s 7.8% for March is nearly 4% points higher than the ABS estimate for February 2022 of 4.0%. for February counts as employed an additional 130,800 Australians who were working zero hours for ‘economic reasons’ or ‘other reasons’ – such as being forced into isolation for being a close contact addition, the ABS notes 221,800 workers worked zero hours due to illness, injury or sick leave in is 99,200 higher than the average for February from 2016-2021 of 122,600.

If these 230,000 non-workers are

added back the ABS unemployment estimate increases to 793,000 (5.7% of the workforce).

The ABS also claims there are an additional 926,000 Australians (6.6% of the workforce) under-employed for a total of 1.72 million unemployed or underemployed (12.3% of the workforce).

Michele Levine, CEO Roy Morgan, says there is good news for the Morrison Government in Roy Morgan’s March unemployment estimates, but there are also concerns that should be a focus of the current Federal Election campaign: This Roy Morgan survey on Australia’s unemployment and ‘under-employed’* is based on weekly interviews of 820,263 Australians aged 14 and over between January 2007 and March 2022 and includes 6,046 telephone and online interviews in March 2022. *The ‘underemployed’ are those people who are in parttime work or freelancers who are looking for more work.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

The price of eggs, on your face When we were kids and made a completely irrelevant comment in the course of family discussions, the response invariably came “What’s that got to do with the price of eggs”.

In a fashion not unlike watching telly and seeing yourself watching telly on which you were watching yourself watching telly or standing in the kinky mirror room at Luna Park we puzzled over what that expression had to do with the price of eggs.

Later, it surprised us to discover that elsewhere it’s the price of fish that matters. Perhaps in Russia and Ukraine it’s the price of freedom, while the price of fish and eggs is relegated to the realms of reality rather than rhetoric.

However, decades later, last week, the answer was finally revealed about the importance of prices. If you want to be Prime Minister you must know the price of eggs, and everything else, including the cost of trying to score cheap political points, as Albo discovered on day one.

Equally, everyone agrees that his gaff has been aired so widely and thoroughly that to give it another would be childish, churlish and deserving of chastening, but, well, who can resist?

Clearly none of our politicians know the price of anything, a failing they glibly and arrogantly brush aside as evidence of their common touch, and for one reason, they’ve got enough dough that it doesn’t matter how much stuff

costs, they can afford it. Unlike those on unemployment benefit, or jobkeeper or jobseeker whatever stupid marketing term they give it, and welfare payments generally.

Welfare payments are kept so low, so the Coalition bleats - indeed they think they are still too high to encourage people to find work.

But it doesn’t.

However it does encourage eating poorly, going without stuff pollies take for granted, stealing to get a taste of pollie life, and knowing the price of everything.

However there are some things the price of which even politicians now know : French Submarines ($5Billion), undeserved jobkeeper payments ($20Billion), Harvey Norman ($16Mill)…no wonder they needed Robot-debt.

Anyway, you don’t need to know the price of eggs, you just need to know that you can end up with them on your face, which admittedly is a better prospect than fish.

I wonder if any pollie apart from disgraced former premier Barry O’Farrell, knows the price of wine?

Well, normal people do, but for politicians, here they are : Max Crus is a Clarence Valleybased wine writer and Grape Expectations is now in its 26th year of publication. Find out more about Max or sign up for his weekly reviews and musings by visiting maxcrus.com.au

Principia Mornington Peninsula Altior Pinot Noir 2020, $60.

From the moment this hits your nostrils you want to hide the bottle from others. Ever so slightly softer than its Kindred kin, below, but with a slight edge in alcohol, these twins are inseparable in quality.

Delicious pinot. 9.7/10.

Principia Mornington Peninsula Kindred Hill Pinot Noir 2020, $60.

This is about as pinot as it gets, which is a good thing for those who love the stuff and a turnoff for those who like their wine big and brutal. Can you have a foot in both camps? Or a hand on both bottles? You will hope so when you try these two.

It’s Prin-kip-ear, btw. 9.7/10. de Bortoli Organic Shiraz Field Blend, 2020, $17.50.

“Each grape has a story…” says the label. True.

They’ve been squashed, fermented and passed through my digestive system and now languish in a sewage treatment plant awaiting rebirth, perhaps to irrigate another vine. Not exactly bedtime reading, but all worthy. Thanks grapes. 9/10. de Bortoli Riverina Noble One 2018, $36 (375ml).

It’s easy to forget how good Noble One is and as good as many Aussie stickies are, when you come back to this, you cannot help thinking, yeah, this is still my favourite. 9.6/10.

Rewild of Murray-Darling Sauvignon Blanc 2021, $9.99.

Sustainably made and vegan friendly is worth the price of entry alone. That you get half-decent sauv blanc too is a bonus, even Robot debt victims could afford a bottle…one. 8.8/10.

Rewild of Murray-Darling Rosé 2021, $9.99.

Good on Rewild for spruiking the Riverland (or Sunraysia or whatever). This is soft and pale and not a million miles from rosés of Provence (actually it’s about 20,000 km). 9/10.

“We are still people who want to be treated equally.”

Those are the words of Courtney Ryan, a STEPS Pathways College boarding student and a young adult living with autism.

For Courtney, like many of the students staying at the college, Autism Awareness Month brings a sense of empowerment and the hope for more inclusion and equality throughout the community.

The month of April also offers the perfect opportunity for those who are unfamiliar with autism and other disabilities to put themselves in an uncomfortable position and start a conversation.

STEPS Pathways College training manager Karen Caldwell said simply starting a conversation with someone is one of the best ways to raise awareness around the topic.

“What I see is people seem scared to talk to someone who has a disability of any sort.

They don’t want to offend so they don’t start a conversation,” Mrs Caldwell said.

“Starting a conversation about autism is the same as talking about mental health

or any other disability, it’s about making yourself vulnerable enough and living in the space of being uncomfortable. Just go up, say hello and listen to them.”

Mrs Caldwell said the simple act of listening and showing you care can make a tremendous difference, especially for someone who feels like they may not fit in.

“When you get our students to talk about themselves, they come alive,” she said.

“Getting that network of friends who like them just the way they are is so important and when you come to the college you get to see that although everybody’s unique, we’re all a team. We all count on each other, and we all work together.”

And it’s that team spirit that makes STEPS Pathways College feel like home for so many of the students who take the enormous leap out of their comfort zones when enrolling in the course.

It doesn’t take long for the students to start feeling more comfortable however, with the unique college environment offering a rare opportunity for the young adults to truly be themselves.

“Pathways is all about showing our students that there are ways we all need to behave to be able to operate in society, but we also teach our students that you don’t have to be anybody other than who you are,” Mrs Caldwell said.

“Students learn the essential skills that they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and we also equip them with the skills that they need to be able to socialise with the rest of the world.”

For Courtney, she’ll be using her skills to secure a position in business administration after she graduates… that is when she’s not kicking butt in martial arts during her down time, having just obtained her purple belt.

“My hope is that I’ll be treated the same as others when I start looking for a job,” she says.

Autism Awareness Month runs across the entire month of April and aims to improve the lives of people living on the spectrum by providing helpful resources and raising awareness around the topic.

The Long Way Home competition is

we think ‘Let go’ is a good theme for right now. It could mean let go of an object, like a rope, a safety net, a balloon, a leash, the handlebars, an oar, a waterbomb or a plate full of cakes. It could also mean letting go of your fears, hopes, regrets, bad decisions or bad habits. It could mean letting go of the past. You can interpret the theme any way you like.

‘The Long Way Home’ is about our stories and who we are. It’s about what makes this place so special and unique,’ said the winner of last year’s open category, Kathryn Goldie.

Everyone from schoolkids to adults is invited to send something in. The competition is open to new, emerging and established writers. This may be something, or perhaps you have been writing for years. Let the theme inspire you, and start putting down some words! We asked Claire Aman, one of the Long Way Home directors, year.‘After four years of collecting stories from across every part of the Clarence Valley, I can say the local writers just get better and better!

Have you read the winners from the latest book? They’re amazing,’ said Aman. ‘So, this year, I want to see how creative our local writers are with the theme. I expect to be surprised, shocked, moved – and to laugh lots.’ The collection of every year in a beautifully designed and printed book. ‘Stories From the Clarence Valley 2021 - Look Up’, is available online. It’s also for sale at Grafton Book Warehouse, South Grafton Books and Gifts, Coldstream Gallery, and The Nook in Yamba.

“The Regional Events Acceleration Fund boosts local economies like ours by supporting the growth of existing events and attracting new major domestic and

international ones,” Mr Singh said.

“I know footy fans across our city, and far beyond, are looking forward to the 2022 NRL Telstra Premiership Sharks and Gold Coast Titans. I can’t wait to see this exciting re-match bring the bumper crowds back to C.ex Coffs International Stadium.”

Dino Mezzatesta Group CEO of Cronulla Sharks adds: “The game in

2021 was a wonderful experience for our players, members and fans and for the NSW North Coast community and we expect nothing different this time around.

“We were embraced by the local Council, community and rugby league supporters of the region last season which made the decision to return an easy one, with taking this game to Coffs giving us the opportunity

to again showcase our club and the NRL to a regional audience.

“The Sharks are now invested in the Coffs coast area as it allows us to expand our brand, we are keen to grow what has become a solid supporter base and further develop our partnerships in community programs in the region.”
