$20 million for Clarence Way upgrade LARA LEAHY The fight for Clarence Way has had another win against the potholes.

36km of Clarence Way has been covered by an injection of funds

by Federal and Local Governments announced last week. $16 million has been provided by the Federal Government, and Kyogle Council has added $4 million to cover the stretch of road from Urbenville to Bonalbo.

“Works will start at either end and meet in the middle,“ Tony Lickiss said.

“This is a great example of what can be achieved when community partners with council.”

Efforts by local communities include signing and submitting petitions and the Bonalbo Progress Associations’ “I survived the Clarence

Way” stickers have made their mark.

Cr Danielle Mulholland reflects on what has taken 10 years to achieve so far, and would like to, “recognise the efforts that council staff, the community, and councilors have made to make this happen.”

“However, we need

more money to complete the road. It has to come from somewhere else, and I won’t be silenced until we get the funding.”

The final section of road, 22.5km of from Bonalbo to Sandilands is the last stretch to completed.

Tony Lickiss said:

“An application to the State Government has been submitted to the “Fixing County Roads” initiative.”

Cr Mullholland is fired up about making it happen, “We have Federal Government funding, we need State Government to come to the party. I’ll keep

talking about it until we get it.”

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said: “The Clarence Way is a critical route connecting the Bonalbo and Urbenville communities however the road is currently in exceptionally poor condition.

“This upgrade will see significant safety improvements including pavement widening and strengthening as well as drainage and delineation improvements.

“Importantly, the upgrade will ensure locals, businesses and other road users get to their destination safer and sooner.”

Kyogle Mayor Kylie Thomas said: “This is a great day for the region.

“Kyogle Council has worked tirelessly to highlight the absolutely key role that the Clarence Way plays in connecting our communities and businesses.

“The upgrade will benefit locals each and every day – making each trip safer and more comfortable and also kickstarting further community growth and development.”

$312 million boost for road and transport affected northern NSW communities will be accelerated further with $312 million committed to rebuilding and improving road and transport infrastructure in the region to better withstand the impact of natural disasters.

The Australian and NSW Governments’ Regional Roads and Transport Recovery Package will ensure infrastructure damaged

rebuilt, and resilience of transport assets are bolstered to face impacts of future natural disasters.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Barnaby Joyce said the Coalition Government is ensuring projects that will help communities recover and build back stronger.

“Delivering the vital

affected communities need will help them get back on their feet now and position them to better withstand the impact of similar events in the future,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“This is part of our plan to build the infrastructure that will make our communities and our nation as strong as possible as quickly as possible.”

Minister for Emergency Management and 44 48 50 51 52

National Recovery and Resilience Bridget McKenzie said this commitment is vital to the region’s recovery.

“This new funding will facilitate disaster recovery across the road and transport network in

corridors like drainage improvements, and strengthening road surfaces to better

and rural communities in northern NSW, which will help them return to normal sooner,” Ms McKenzie said.

“Funding will support construction of new roads, upgrades to

to support them all the way.”

“We are focused on doing what we can to ensure the people of the North Coast are connected and can keep moving, now and into the future,” Mr Farraway said.

by Transport for NSW to review each submission and make a recommendation to the Minister before the end of the year.

The future of business growth LARA LEAHY Business NSW CEO Daniel Hunter met with leaders in the Northern Rivers industries to discuss the future of business in the area.

The Regional Advisory Council met at the Business Hub to talk about concerns, solutions, and to initiate discussion on the importance and implementation of communication channels in the region. The need for action and response being utmost in mind of the delegates in attendance.

The aim is to bring to the table various segments of industry in the region to act as representatives to bring about growth needed for the area. Many segments of the Northern Rivers market were in attendance, including commerce, accounting,

manufacturing, tourism amongst others.

On discussing the role of the business hub, Mr Hunter said that the area is without doubt in need of this important resource for the business community after the flood events. The cost to Business NSW to set up the Hub was $100,000, “The aim is for long term support for the area - we can see the area will need this resource for 12 to 18 months, so we are looking to the state government to assist financially with ongoing costs.”

Mr Hunter is satisfied with the initiative to date, “It’s been very successful, we’ve put together a number of services here. It’s a place people can come and get advice and talk to a friendly face. It’s critical for the community that this service is extended.”

What is the Business Hub? Essentially, an office away from home.

Businesses can speak to reps from Services NSW and Rural Financial Counseling or set up at a hot desk. There are laptops available for use.There are meeting rooms and people to discuss a tailored roadmap to help you get back on track. At the door, a concierge greets you and will help point you in the right direction for the assistance you need.

Emma, the concierge on duty, reported, “People are saying that the networking and the space provided is increasing their productivity.

A change of location is helping with the mental stresses and feeling like they are not alone.”

There is the potential to expand, “I’d like to see some start ups, temporary businesses or pop up’s get involved that can contribute to the atmosphere of recovery.

Insurance advice would be a very beneficial addition.”

Jane Laverty, the regional manager of Business NSW spoke of the wider effect of

the Hub, “We are about supporting businesses that are wanting to invest in the region around new and existing enterprise.

We’ve had people contact us how they can invest and support the region come back even stronger.

“We are working hand in hand with State Government and Regional NSW to make

sure that it’s a seamless process.”

Ms Laverty sees benefit for the area in what they are doing, “Business NSW is a very strong brand, and we want to use that to make businesses feel supported with that strength. It is important that people realise the depth of the impact and that the area is still in recovery. It’s not a matter of jumping back into things straight away. This is going to be a slow rebuild and we will be here for the long haul. We need the government to join us in this vision.” Ms Laverty’s message is clear, “We have suffered loss, but we are resilient, and we will be back stronger than ever. “ Mr Hunter has had a busy week. Prior to coming to the region, he began it by lobbying for the lifitng of household contact isolation. “There

were exemptions for certain people - airport workers for example, but a lot of small businesses were left behind. People can’t get access to the things needed in regular lives.”

Mr Hunter was frustrated with the volume of “healthy people” that could be alleviating the situation.

By Tuesday night, Mr Hunter was aware that the government was listening, and the changes came in last Friday.

Both Victoria and New South Wales have lifted their restrictions, “leading the way and lifting those household contact isolation rules,” Mr Hunter said.

“Thats an example of the sort of advocacy we do on behalf of business.

We’re proactive.”

Minor parties land poll position in ‘donkey’ space LESLEY APPS There’s always a bit of anxious excitement in the air during the ballot draw for candidates contesting an election.

The order of appearance on the ballot paper does impact outcomes to some degree if you consider the lazy ‘donkey’ style of voting - numbering all the squares in order from either the top down or bottom up.

These are still considered formal votes and estimated to affect 1-2%* of the results, so with mutterings of hung parliaments and close contests down to a few hundred votes in some seats, any advantage would likely be welcome by candidates at the May 21 election.

At Friday’s ballot draw held in Grafton for Page’s House of Representatives candidates, minority

The ballot draw for Page House of Representative candidates contesting the upcoming Federal Election was held on Friday at Australian Electoral Commission office in Grafton. A few of the candidates and their representatives were there to witness democracy in action. Photo: Simon Hughes parties took out first and last positions, while the major contenders battled it out in the middle ground.

The official ballot paper order for the 10 candidates for Page is as follows: • Thomas Matthew SEARLES (Liberal Democratic Party) • Donna Lee PIKE

(Pauline Hanson’s One Nation) Kashmir Salmon MILLER (The Greens NSW) • Heather Mary SMITH (Australian Federation Party) • Patrick David DEEGAN (Australian Labor Party) • Brett Rodney DUROUX (Indigenous-

Aboriginal Party of Australia) • Ian Robert WILLIAMSON (United Australia Party) • Kevin John HOGAN (The Nationals) • Hanabeth LUKE (Independent) • Serge KILLINGBECK (TNL — formerly The New Liberals)

applications close Australian Red Cross has stopped taking new emergency cash applications, as the number of applications has met the level of funds available.

Red Cross Acting Director of Australian Programs Garry Page said $20 million dollars had been distributed so far through approximately 40,000 grants, and an estimated 30,000 eligible applications will be processed in the coming days and weeks “We anticipate these as-yet-unprocessed grants will mean available funds – almost $40 million – are effectively fully allocated,” he said.

“It wouldn’t be fair for us to continue to accept applications when there are unlikely to be grant funds available, so we have closed applications.

“Recently, we contacted people who had draft applications unsubmitted, or who we needed further details from, to let them know this step was coming.”

Funds for cash assistance are from public and corporate support for the Australia Unites Telethon hosted by broadcasters Nine, Seven and Ten, which raised $27.2 million.

“Every cent raised through the Telethon is being distributed as grants. That has been supplemented with $12.7 million from our Mr Page said.

“Other funds raised from the appeal will go to a dedicated cash assistance team, casework support for grant applicants, and immediate response and long-term recovery.”

Road to recovery Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin last week joined Premier Dominic Perrottet and Deputy Premier Paul Toole in Lismore for the announcement of the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation to lead the flood rebuilding effort.

Ms Saffin has been advocating for a reconstruction commission every day since the February 28 flood disaster and she welcomed the Premier’s announcement.

“Today is a good day.

Today we turn a corner in flood recovery.

“The Premier and Deputy Premier have announced what I have been calling for – a single, coordinated whole of government approach to the permanent recovery and rebuilding of our flood affected communities.

“The Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation will coordinate planning, rebuilding and construction work across multiple government agencies to help us rebuild our lives and communities. It will take account of mitigation and adaptation measures that are needed to rebuild back better and preparedness.

“The NRRC will sit within the Department of Regional NSW and be led by David Witherdin, who currently leads Public Works and the Soil Conservation Service.

“I have met with David Witherdin and

I have confidence he has the competence and competence required for the role.

“The NRRC will be supported by a community advisory body made up of local representatives who have the requisite skill, knowledge and attitude required to undertake such a role.”

“I have stated that putting the community front and centre is recognition of the critical role the community played in the flood rescue and recovery and the Premier recognised that today in the announcement.

“The Premier said that he has our back and will work with us for the long haul for this huge recovery job ahead.

Today’s announcement has demonstrated that.

“ I thank The Leader of the NSW Opposition Chris Minns for the support he has extended to me, backing my efforts but leaving me to do what is best for our community, and for publicly now backing today’s announcement.

“I am pleased to be able to report back to the community with this positive news, as we enter the eighth week of disaster recovery.

“I want to thank all who backed my sustained and strategic advocacy for this Northern Rivers reconstruction body to be established, including Business NSW and Southern Cross University.

“It shows that effective advocacy with local leadership for a common cause gets results.”

Temporary housing Ms Saffin has welcomed the NSW Government’s $350 million investment in temporary modular housing to give people displaced by floods a place to call home while they rebuild their lives.

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

The first confirmed location will be in Wollongbar, in partnership with Ballina Shire Council, with more sites expected to follow in coming days and weeks. It will be in the grounds of the

Wollongbar Sports Fields and will initially include around 25 temporary accommodation pods with capacity to house up to 100 people. The Pods come in various configurations which can accommodate one to four people and will be co-located with supporting infrastructure and amenities.

Modular homes (or pods) are standalone accommodation units that can house one to four people each.

Depending upon the configuration, the modular homes will either include bathroom and kitchen facilities or be supported by separate communal bathroom and kitchen facilities.

Ms Saffin said housing is one of the biggest challenges currently facing flood-affected

communities.

“We are working closely with the NSW Government and community stakeholders on medium-term solutions that keep communities together, supporting residents to continue living in their local area while they rebuild and recover,” Ms Saffin said.

“Changes to regulations have also been made to allow temporary accommodation, both private and government, to be set up more quickly without development consent. This means temporary homes, including caravans and self-contained vehicles, can be put in place for up to two years without council approval.”

The rollout of temporary housing sites is being staged to meet the significant demand in flood-affected regions. A range of suitable sites have been identified in partnership with councils, with more continuing to be investigated.

The NSW Government is also providing emergency accommodation in hotels and motels, Sport and Recreation camps, campervans and further support is also available via the 16-week rental assistance program.

Flood-affected community members seeking housing support are urged to contact Service NSW on 13 77 88, visit nsw.gov. au/floods or speak to recovery centre staff.

Funding supports community infrastructure The Lowanna community will benefit from $91,045 in funds to support the redevelopment of their multi-use court in the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh

said this funding will help Coffs Harbour City Council to deliver this important project for local residents.

“Restoration of the existing tennis court will provide a new multi-use space suitable for tennis, basketball and other hand ball sports,” Mr Singh said.

“It will be completed with removable tennis posts, side swing basketball posts, removable netball posts, an LED lighting system and a new sport surface with combination line marking.”

Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Paul Amos said: “This is so much more than

the upgrade of the existing tennis court. Our vision for this project is to create a welcoming and inclusive multi-use space for formal and informal events and gatherings that will further foster a sense of belonging and community in Lowanna and the surrounding

villages.”

Minister for Hospitality and Racing Kevin Anderson said the latest round of ClubGrants has awarded more than $4.2m to 43 projects across sport and recreation, arts and culture, community infrastructure and disaster readiness.

Appeal court gives doctor all-clear TIM HOWARD A Grafton doctor Australian Federal Police dramatically arrested in 2018, is free to begin practising again.

Earlier this month the Court of Appeal, NSW Supreme Court upheld an appeal from the doctor, William Russell Massingham Pridgeon, against the decision the Medical Council of NSW to indefinitely revoke his licence.

He Dr Pridgeon won his three-year battle to be allowed to practice medicine again when the court made its decision

on April 14.

The Medical Council revoked Dr Pridgeon’s ability to practice in October 2018, the day after a squad of AFP officers raided his Grafton practice.

It was part of a nationwide operation the police claimed broke a ring of people engaged in child stealing.

He has worked as a GP for 38 years,17 of them in Grafton, until October 2018 when his registration was suspended due to child stealing charges.

These charge have since been dropped because of lack of

evidence.

The charges arose over allegations that doctor had assisted a mother to protect her twin daughters from their father’s sexual abuse.

In an interview reported on social media, Dr Pridgeon said he had acted honourably and professionally.

“The Tribunal and the Supreme Court recognised what it called ‘extraordinary circumstances,’ he said.

“My actions would be regarded as exactly what a doctor should do.

We have an obligation to protect children from harm.

“I believe my actions were honourable, professional.”

He went on to say what he had done to keep these children away from their father’s alleged predation was itself lawful.

“Protecting children is not a crime, in fact the law demands that children are protected.

It is against the law not to protect a child,” he said. “We have a right to protect children.”

The Medical Council admitted when it banned Dr Pridgeon from practising that it was an “extraordinary decision” because there had been

The Court of Appeal found the Medical Council “paid lip service to the presumption of innocence” with conclusions patently infected by assumptions of guilt”.

The court ordered the Medical Council to pay Dr Pridgeon’s costs.

Free concert for Lismore region Like any worthy notion, this one emanated from a determined spirit in the days after the devastating floods crushed Lismore on February 28 and again on March 30.

To celebrate the resilience and lift the spirits of the Lismore Community, Lismore City Council, Chugg Entertainment and Helium will stage a free concert – ONE FROM THE HEART - at Lismore Showgrounds on Sunday, May 15 starring The Buckleys, Darlinghurst, Paul Kelly and Dan Kelly, Daryl Braithwaite, Sheppard, Lime Cordiale, Jon Stevens and Lismore’s own, Grinspoon.

Each family within the most affected areas - postcodes 2471, 2472 and 2480 - will be able

to order four tickets to the show now from Moshtix.

There will also be an additional 1,000 tickets available to purchase for everyone outside the nominated postcodes from Saturday, April 30 from Moshtix.

Lismore’s Mayor, Steve Krieg, was one of over 3,000 locals who’d been personally impacted by the flood devastation losing his family home and his business in the aftermath.

“About a week after the second flood hit us on March 30, I was talking with Council staff about what we could do to lift community spirits,” said Cr Krieg.

“What we needed was a line in the sand moment that would mark a shift in the community’s mood

of shock to begin the long hard road of rebuilding and restoring our homes and our community.

Same day one of Council’s team reached out to Rick Sleeman from Sports Marketing Australia” Sports Marketing Australia Director, Rick Sleeman said: “This idea grew legs very quickly from discussions with Lismore Council when one of SMA’s team asked if we could stage an event that might assist in lifting the spirits of the people of Lismore. Rather than a fund raiser, they were looking for a free community event something significant and authentic that could shift the town’s energy from shock to hope. The obvious ‘go to’ person was Chuggi [Michael

Chugg AM]. We’ve been working with Michael and his team for a number of years, and we knew from experience Chugg Music’s passion, compassion, talent and vast industry contacts were exactly what was needed to get this idea

off the ground.”

Chugg Entertainment’s Michael Chugg said: “I got a call from Rick and same day we had the first Zoom call with the Mayor and his team. The idea and reasoning behind staging a

concert resonated to me - that this was not about raising money but raising the community’s spirits. The lead time was incredibly tight; what would normally take four months of planning had to turned around in 6 weeks.

So, my first call was to [Helium Records] Mark Pope.”

Both Chugg and Pope were an integral part of the team that delivered the Wave Aid, Live Earth and Sound Relief Benefit Concerts in 2005, 2007 and 2009. They had the experience, knowledge, contacts and energy to make the impossible possible.

A few things to consider for ‘permanent’ camping LARA LEAHY Living in times of recovery, many people are facing alternate ways of living until they can reclaim their regular way of life.

Whether you know the people whose land you are staying on well or not, there are things to consider to set a dual living relationship up to be successful.

The earlier these are coordinated and established, the easier it will be for the long term comfort of all involved.

This is by no means an exhaustive list - it is a guide to assist those with too much to think about already…

Is there a set time frame either party needs to keep in mind?

Do you feel more comfortable with an arrangement that is assessed from time to time?

How do you let the other person know that space is no longer available?

Or you are ready to move on?

Space is not limited to a caravan - it will need to include thoughts for vehicle storage and temporary structures for self sufficiency.

How much space is available, and how much space are you ideally donating to a semi permanent visitor to use?

Will ongoing storage be necessary as life

progresses, or resources become available?

Self sufficiency is a matter to be considered.

Providing everything you need to exist without assistance, or how much a temporary dwelling will be dependent on existing permanent structures.

Services such as arranging a porta-loo, porta-shower, rubbish disposal and washing

clothes off site are relatively simple to organise, but areas need to be allocated that are agreeable to both parties.

Services that may require dependency include power and water supply.

Consider refrigeration requirements and air conditioning or heating that can be necessary as the temperatures drop.

The possibility of

generators and noise should be coordinated to both party’s’ satisfaction.

Other important considerations include site cleanliness, environment care (wildlife - animals, plants and things like gathering firewood and composting), and an expectation of what is needed when the visitors need to leave and removing anything

they have required or borrowed during their stay.

If there are any animals/pets, how are they need to be managed?

In the event of inclement weather, if the temporary accommodation fails, a backup plan as well as thought to fire safety and evacuation - especially in rural areas.

Certain information may also need to make up the initial discussions - like work place arrangements, or next of kin details.

Sharing personal space is best organised and agreed to in such a way that both parties feel comfortable.

Exchanging contact details, times and methods are the final critical piece.

There will always be additional things that have not been discussed prior to moving in.

The best rule of thumb for information, is if you don’t know - ask!

$9 million to keep our youth on track The NSW Government has today announced $9 million to extend the highly successful Youth Justice NSW early intervention program, Youth on Track.

Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Police Paul Toole said the Youth on Track program provides support for 10 to 17-year-olds who are at risk of longterm involvement in the criminal justice system.

“This is about giving young people who’ve had a brush with the law the tools to stop them re-offending – and we know it works,” Mr Toole said.

“Since its inception in 2013, the program has supported more than 350 young

offenders each year to reduce their risk of reoffending and halved their contact with police.

“The extension will help even more young people right across the state, whether they live in Bingara or Blacktown, get their lives back on track.”

Minister for Families and Communities and Minister for Disability Services, Natasha Maclaren-Jones said the extension will allow more young people across the state program.

“When a young person comes into contact with the criminal justice system, it is imperative we do everything we can to turn their life around,” Mrs Maclaren-Jones said.

“By intervening early and providing young people with the support they need using a multiagency approach, we can engage them in education, mental health services, family supports, and behaviour change that reduce their risk of reoffending.”

Case managers work closely with young people and their families, identifying triggers and supporting those with behavioural and mental health issues.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the program’s extension will change the lives of young people.

“It is wonderful to see the extension

program for our young people in Coffs Harbour,” Mr Singh said.

“Ensuring young offenders in the area receive individualised intervention is vital to empower them to avoid reoffending and make positive decisions.”

Social Futures Acting CEO Katrina Luckie said that the Coffs Harbour region is thrilled at the extension of such an incredible program.

In addition to Coffs Harbour, Youth on Track operates in the Hunter, Central West, Mid North Coast, New England, Blacktown and Riverina areas.

Referrals to the program are made by police, schools and a range of family support services.

Candidate calls for judicial inquiry into flood impact and recovery Dr Hanabeth Luke, Independent candidate for Page, is announcing her community backed call for a judicial inquiry into the Federal Government’s policy for disaster response, including the new highway’s impact on flooding and a review of recovery spending.

Citizens of Woodburn, Coraki and Broadwater have raised the issue that the new highway has contributed significantly to the extent of the recent flooding.

Dr Luke supports calls for an inquiry into the Government’s handling of this catastrophe, as

well as the influence of the new highway on the extent of the flood damage.

She has been listening to many families, business owners and farmers who are convinced that the highway acts as a ‘dam wall’ that changed the flow of water, increased the flood height, and held the water. Citizens have been raising concerns about the impact of the highway since 2005, with the Upper House Interim Inquiry into the planned Pacific Highway.

“Farmers and residents feel their local

knowledge was ignored by experts who instead relied heavily on flood modelling. Modelling is only as good as its inputs combined with the mathematics. We need to look at both. The data used is important. If at all flawed, it may well have led to the extent of this catastrophe.

“What we do know is that the flood height was 1.7 meters higher than previous records in Woodburn. I saw this first-hand in the height of the flood,” says Dr Luke.

“I also call for a review of the flood funding on offer and the basis of its allocation.

“It is outrageous that in a time of greatest need, support for many of our struggling families, business owners, and farmers post-flood is little more than ‘aid by media release’.

“It is heartbreaking to have people on one side of the Richmond River getting help that families on the other bank are not – that’s what’s happening in Woodburn right now.

“The latest “top up” payment has gone to Lismore residents only, and the initial flood funding that excluded flooded areas outside the Nationals held seat of Page, is a complete

“Nationals” disaster.

Postcode should not determine whether you deserve help.

“Excluding communities from support in desperate times is un-Australian, and exactly why we need a federal approach to ensure an equitable response. Ensuring this also requires having a Federal Integrity Commission with teeth.”

“As your Independent, I will fight to ensure that our taxpayer money is allocated on a needs-basis and spent on the things that matter most and determined by our united community

voice. I will champion a community petition to ensure this judicial inquiry happens. Elect me and I will present it myself!

“But promises are cheap. Only good governance and leadership will ensure that funds promised are spent where most needed. It’s what will ensure that the billions of dollars announced for flood-relief will go to the families, farmers and businesses who so desperately need them right now.”

Major new art prize a boost for artists Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre is thrilled to announce the establishment of a new major art prize, Wollumbin Art Award (WAA), with a total prize offering of $30,000.

The award, named for the sacred mountain which the Gallery overlooks, will be held biennially and is open to artists living and working in the Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Kyogle

and Scenic Rim shires, as well as Lismore and Gold Coast cities.

Muddiman OAM said: “We are so thrilled to be able to present this new

prize of $15,000 and a two-week residency at the Gallery’s Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio.

The Gallery has also established a $10,000 First Nations Bundjalung Award, which includes a solo exhibition in the Gallery and a $5,000 Emerging Artist Award.

New funding for war memorials From Lismore to Thirroul, Gundagai to Kogarah, more than 16 local government areas across NSW will benefit from new funding for conservation work to their local war memorials.

More than $125,000 will be invested in the protection and repair of local war memorials, under the Community War Memorials Fund 2021/22, which commemorate the sacrifice of service men and women.

Minister for Transport and Veterans David Elliott today announced the successful projects for the latest round of the community grants which support the conservation, repair and protection of local memorials.

“This Anzac Day, people across NSW will gather to pay respect and honour our diggers so it is vitally important we also protect our local war memorials so that young

people understand the sacrifices made during the war,” Mr Elliott said.

“A total of $125,160 was awarded in this round, with grants ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 so all communities should review the status of their local war memorials and apply for funding if any restoration work is needed.”

The recent grants will support a variety of conservation projects including: an arborist assessment of Newman Park Great War Memorial Avenue of Honour in Orange; repairs to the Corowa First and Second World Wars Memorial Clock; and the restoration of the St Andrew’s Anglican Church War Memorial

Lismore Parish representative Dr Ross Lehman said the funding had come at an important time as they were working to engage more with the community to encourage people to take the time to remember the service and sacrifice of our veterans.

“We are very thankful to be the recipients of

the NSW Government grants. Importantly we are looking forward to relocating the Honour Roll and Plaque to honour the veterans from the First World War.” Dr Lehman said.

Mr Elliott also called for applications for the latest round of the Community War Memorials Fund.

“I encourage all

communities who believe their local memorials needs repair or restoration to apply”.

The next round of the Community War Memorials Fund opens on Anzac Day and closes at 5pm on Monday 25 July 2022.

To be eligible for funding, the memorial must be listed on the NSW War Memorials Register.

The Anglican Parish of Lismore, St Andrew’s Anglican Church, was granted $10,000 towards the restoration and repair of the church’s WWII Memorial Gates, including electrical wiring for the lights, and the installation of a displaced Honour Roll at Nimbin and plaque in the Warrior’s Chapel of the Church.

Lower Clarence rainfall event highest since records began The Lower Clarence has experienced its biggest rainfall event since the start of record keeping in 1877, following the sizeable rainfall totals received in February and March this year.

Yamba’s cumulative total for February and March was 1267 millimetres with a total of 549mm recorded in February and a total of 718mm recorded during March.

Yamba received 274.4mm in one day alone on February 28 - the highest daily recording for the month of February since record keeping began. On

March 1, the following day, Yamba received 258.2mm, for a total of 532mm in 48 hours.

Clarence Valley Council has examined rainfall data from the Bureau of Meteorology’s Yamba Pilot Hill gauge as part of a review into the cause of ponding in some areas in Iluka following the major rainfall events.

“The significant rainfall has led to a saturated catchment and high water table, exacerbating the time taken for water to disperse,” Clarence Valley Council Director Works and Civil Jamie Fleeting said.

“There has been no event or combination of events since records began that comes close to the rainfall totals recorded at Yamba in February and March. Yamba’s rainfall to the end of March (1435.6mm) is higher than Yamba’s median annual rainfall (1407.3mm).

“We need to be aware that the most efficiently designed drainage systems are not built to cope with rainfall totals equal to that experienced in the recent flooding events.

“One of the issues is there are some properties

at Iluka that are quite low relative to the road causing ponding.

However, there are no simple solutions to this problem.”

Mr Fleeting said stage one of the Hickey Street development, including road and stormwater infrastructure, has been completed and that the development meets design control and design guidelines. He said a detailed geotechnical investigation had been carried out to examine soil permeability at the site.

“Clarence Valley Council is currently reviewing the drainage

network and assets in Iluka, as well as investigating the potential to raise the concrete levee at Marandowie Drive in Iluka,” Clarence Valley Council Mayor Ian Tiley said.

Mayor Tiley said he had been in touch with the community and was aware of their concerns and was pleased to receive the detailed report from Council’s Works and Civil team.

“There is no denying these floods have had a major impact on the Valley,” Mayor Tiley said.

“When we compare

the cumulative totals of rainfall data with historical flood events in January, February and March, the increase is 73 per cent above the 1974 flood event and there has been no combined event like this in 145 years of record keeping.

“We are working on providing solutions to all affected areas.

Council is assessing the damage caused by the floods and determining a way forward to manage issues in the community and revitalise its assets.

Please be patient while we are working on getting things fixed.”

Service NSW joins forces with Aust Post to help Lismore Residents in Lismore will be able to access Service NSW and Australia Post services in one convenient location, as part of a trial disaster rebuilding program to help disaster impacted communities recover.

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said a Service NSW Mobile Service Centre is now co-located with an Australia Post

Lismore Workers Golf Club car park.

“It is vital for government organisations to work together and support affected communities by providing them with easy access to a range of services in one easy location,” Mr Dominello said.

“Customers can visit the Service NSW and

Australia Post teams from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday to complete more than 1,000 government transactions and services, including replacing licences and also making postal, banking transactions.

“Service NSW is working towards a continued partnership with Australia Post to bring immediate and

coordinated emergency response efforts if and when required.”

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said this would help streamline the recovery process.

“Flood-affected residents and business owners need support as quickly as possible, with this co-location of Service NSW and

Australia Post to provide a great one-stop-shop for services,” Ms Cooke said.

“This initial co-location of the mobile services in Lismore will be available for three days until Friday, April 22, with both organisations then looking to provide affected towns in regional NSW.” Australia Post Group

& Managing Director Paul Graham said the co-location would ensure locals could maintain access to its services such as receiving and sending post, organising accessing banking and The Service NSW team is also stationed at the Community Hub in Lismore’s CBD.

Council supported a report to amend Council’s Revenue Policy to allow for a reduction in water consumption charges following the natural disaster event of late February 2022.

Councillors also agreed to allow for the deferral of up to two quarters

reoccupation of the land or building.

Furthermore, in a situation where houses have been deemed uninhabitable, residents can contact Council to have their bin collection stopped and an adjustment will be made to their rate notice.

‘Back Home’ flood grant now open

Flood-affected homeowners, renters and landlords can now apply for ‘Back Home’ grant payments to help replace appliances, reconnect utilities and carry out structural repairs to make their homes safe and habitable again.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the $112 million package, co-funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments, would provide one-off payments of $20,000 for owner-occupiers, $15,000 for landlords, and $5000 for renters across the Hawkesbury, Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Tweed Local Government Areas.

“Housing continues to be one of our most pressing priorities in flood-affected

communities, especially across the Northern Rivers, and this package helps support their rebuild and recovery,” Mr Toole said.

“We want to see people safely back in their homes. This grant provides payments to help people make critical repairs like fixing roofs, reconnecting utilities or replacing furniture and whitegoods.”

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said more than 10,000 homes had been assessed as damaged, with more than 4,000 assessed as uninhabitable across the State.

“Anyone who has registered already will receive an alert that the system is now taking formal application. More than 5,900 residents have already registered their

interest in the ‘Back Home’ grant and Service NSW will be reaching out to them in the coming days to ensure this support is delivered as quickly as possible.

Impacted households can apply on the Service NSW website or via the app, with support also available on 13 77 88,” Mr Dominello said.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the ‘Back Home’ grant is one of the many ways the NSW Government is helping flood-affected communities rebuild.

“This support will help people get back to their homes as quickly as possible as they work to recover from these devastating floods,” Ms Cooke said.

“The ‘Back Home’ grant is also open to

those with damaged households in suburbs that adjoin the hardest hit council areas.

“We are working hard to ensure these grants make it into the hands of those who need it most, regardless of where they live.”

The funds can go towards any clean-up costs to restore housing to a habitable condition, including: • Inspection and safe reconnection of utilities, such as electrical, gas, water, hot water and sewerage equipment not otherwise the responsibility of utility companies; • Necessary replacement or repairs to damaged essential household goods such as refrigerators, ovens, washing machines and microwaves; • Necessary replacement or repairs to

damaged equipment such as computers and tools; • Replacing other essential household contents; • Moving to a new property; and • Necessary structural repairs including roof, flooring, walls and fitting replacement (owners).

In addition to the eight hardest hit LGAs, the ‘Back Home’ grant can be accessed by owners and renters with households in the following adjoining areas: • Agnes Banks • Barcoongere • Berambing • Bilpin • Bucketty • Cattai • Coombadjha (2460) • Dirty Creek • Halfway Creek • Hernani • Leets Vale • Lower Portland • Maraylya

• Newton Boyd • Putty • Sherwood • Tabulam • Ten Mile Hollow • The Gulf • Upper Corindi (2456) • Urbenville • Vineyard • Wisemans Ferry • Woodenbong Low-income earners who are successful in their application for the Disaster Relief Grant (DRG) are unable to apply for the Back Home grant.

However, anyone who doesn’t qualify for the DRG can apply for the Back Home.

‘Leems, are you aware that prawn shells are totally safe to eat and contain nutrients

Mum Jane’s “LACK” of Etiquette ‘Leemo Cat’ once more. Oooh…the grossness of watching!!

‘Cos they were on special after Easter, ‘Mum Jane’ bought some prawns. Big fat Kingies. She told me that 11 were for her and 1 was for me. She placed a lonely prawn in MY bowl and sat at our table with HER prawns on a plate + a lemon cut in ¼’s, + salt & pepper + a bowl of warm water, a napkin & a book. I astutely observed her eating, with a total lack of any etiquette whatsoever in the correct way of eating prawns. Kinda ‘OFF COMES THE HEAD’ like Henry V111. Then the slimy poo string thing is removed. And THEN she eats ‘ALL’ THE REST OF IT… shell and all. Aaaargh gross! SO, ‘cos she has been nagging me about reading & learning, I found her a book by someone Miss Vanderbilt (who sounds most posh) about ETIQUETTE. ‘Mum, here’s a pressie for you and it will tell you about how to consume prawns at table correctly.’

Well, didn’t that get a raised eyebrow from her? ‘Mum, prawns should be eaten with knife & fork. AND, when squeezing lemon over them, you are ‘sposed to use your cupped hand, a spoon or your napkin, to shield others (e.g., ME, LEEMO) from squirts.’ The eyebrows went almost to her hairline this time which wrinkled her forehead

health? It’s kinda like eating an overcooked crunchy HOT chip (which I detest) but prawn shells are better for me than chips… so there! Crikey! I know, I’ll change the subject. I went to another page of the posh book. ‘Mum, are you drinking your wine according to the Rules of Etiquette? Did you know it involves 4 basic steps… Looking, Swirling, Smelling, and Tasting? OMG, the raised eyebrows went all the way to the back of her head this time. She looked kinda bald. Oh Lordy…this did not bode at all well.

‘LEEMS, YOU JUST LISTEN..OK?’. ‘I shall eat prawns in any manner which pleases me…not for some poxy elitist etiquette dictate from your silly book. I eat prawns applying the only way to enjoy them…. using my hands, not cutlery = NO WASHING UP.’ ‘And NO, I WILL NOT look, swirl or smell or taste ANY wine I wish to drink. I will simply open the bottle (of MY budgetary choice) and drink it.’

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.!

(Crikey..what a most strange & deplorable use of words. I DO NOT smoke pipes!)

(Ponder?) Moving on. ‘Oh Mum, you adorable most kind gorgeous Mother whom I love, would you mind carefully peeling my ONE prawn and cutting it into delectable cat size bites for me?’ (and take out that slimy bit!)

Later. YUMBOSI.. delicious..can I now have another brush Mum?? Nite & contented purrsies, Leemo.

Housing, roads, flood resilience and mitigation top wish list Temporary and permanent accommodation, rebuilding the battered road network and funding to support flood resilience and mitigation activities top the list of priorities as the Tweed moves into the postflood recovery phase.

Council is advocating strongly to all levels of government for additional support in the wake of the devastating flood of February 2022, which inundated thousands of homes and damaged more than 2,100 properties, rendering 500 uninhabitable.

The record flood has left a damage bill of an estimated $80 million on Council infrastructure, including more than $50 million in damages to the road network. This figure does not include the cost of damage to businesses and private homes in the Tweed – estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

These figures follow the announcement last week (12 April 2022) of an additional $855 million joint flood recovery support package from the NSW and Federal

Governments, as well as an additional $350 million package from the NSW Government for temporary housing for flood-affected communities in the Northern Rivers.

The NSW Government also announced today the creation of the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation to oversee recovery of the region.

Mayor of Tweed Shire Chris Cherry welcomed this additional support.

“We are grateful to the NSW Government for their decision to invest in temporary and more permanent housing for residents of the Northern Rivers displaced by the flood,” Cr Cherry said.

“We are seeking an urgent meeting with the new Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation to discuss a solution which is specific to the Tweed.

Our situation is quite different to that of our neighbours and we need to ensure we meet the needs of our residents moving forward.

“While we welcome pods in certain circumstances, we think they would be better placed on individual’s lands so they can be

close to where their family and community are and close to the home they are rebuilding.

“We’ve come a long way in the 7 weeks since the flood with the cleanup nearing an end and emergency repair works giving way to more permanent solutions.

“The streets may look a bit cleaner but the recovery is far from over.

We still have several hundred people displaced and in short-term accommodation – many of whom are suffering with not knowing what the future holds.

“We were experiencing a severe housing crisis exacerbated by COVID-19 before the flood: that has now been worsened and housing remains our top concern as we move forward with the recovery.

“We thank the State and Federal Governments for their support to date and will continue to advocate strongly on behalf of the Tweed community as we move to rebuild in a smarter, more floodresilient way.”

Council has listed the following issues in need of urgent attention, in some order of priority:

1. Housing • An incentive scheme to encourage owners of short-term holiday rental properties to provide longer-term temporary accommodation to flood victims.

• Purchase of flood-free land for relocation of industrial and residential properties via land swap arrangements or voluntary relocation plans.

• Expansion of current voluntary house purchase and voluntary house raising schemes.

2. Roads • Support with repair and rebuilding of roads impacted by significant landslides, particularly with those heavily used such as Scenic Drive at Bilambil, Tyalgum Road and Reserve Creek Road.

• Funding for improved reconstructions that are more resilient to future floods such as Tweed Valley Way at Blacks Drain and Kyogle Road rather than replacing the original infrastructure like-for-like.

• Review of Pacific Highway accessibility during flood events to prevent the roadway being inundated at Chinderah and cutting

the Tweed LGA in half as occurred during this flood event and in 2017.

3. Flood mitigation • Funding for a review of the Murwillumbah CBD Levee and Drainage Study and the recommendations which come from that which are likely to include improved flood pumping systems along with support for greater community and business preparedness.

• Repair and improvement of the Murwillumbah CBD flood levee.

• Review of impacts of M1 on flooding.

4. Rivers and riverbanks • There was extensive damage and flood scouring of riverbanks (up to 30m deep in places) that is significantly impacting and putting at high risk key infrastructure, such as Kyogle Road, Tweed Valley Way and others.

• Support for cleaningup rivers and restoration works.

5. State Emergency Services • Funding support for the building / rebuilding

of new SES unit facilities in Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads.

• Upgrade of evacuation centres.

• Membership drive to increase active members of the SES/ Rural Fire Service, e.g. through payroll concessions.

6. Community support • More funding assistance for organisations supporting communities.

7. Rebuild and repair costs • Assistance for local government with the significant cost to repair buildings and infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Council is working on its submission to the 2022 NSW Flood Inquiry – and is encouraging residents, businesses and community organisations in the Tweed to do the same.

The deadline for inquiry submissions is Friday, May 20, with late submissions considered by people directly impacted by the floods.

Solar energy at Byron hospital “The feasibility study indicated changing to renewable energy at Byron Central Hospital will offset the equivalent of 940 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year,” Mr Long said.

“We know renewable energy is better for the planet, but it’s also a financially sustainable option, with the estimated electricity cost savings to our health district across the life of the system being more than $3 million.”

The roof of Byron Central Hospital will soon be covered in photovoltaic (PV) panels, harnessing energy from the sun to provide more than half of the hospital’s annual electricity usage.

The 720 kilowatt system will be the largest rooftop mounted PV installation on the north coast, and the first of its kind for a hospital in the region.

Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) Director, Corporate Services, Matt Long, said the project will deliver significant reductions in greenhouses gases, as well as cost savings over the life of the system.

A boost to natural ventilation is headed to more than 10,000 public school classrooms with the rollout of automatic fresh air ventilation systems, as the NSW Government bolsters protection against COVID-19 for school communities.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the $100 million Air Quality Assurance Program is focused on delivering

permanent improvements to natural ventilation in classrooms, based on evidence and expert advice.

“The World Health Organisation, the Doherty Institute and NSW Health agree that maximising natural ventilation in classrooms by opening windows and doors remains the most effective method for minimising the spread of COVID-19 – and this

is the foundation of our approach in schools,” Ms Mitchell said.

“The NSW Government is committed to keeping students learning face to face at school and is taking steps to ensure that we maximise fresh air in our classrooms.

Installation of these systems will further enhance the quality of air in our classrooms.”

The Air Quality Assurance Program was

announced in October 2021 following the comprehensive audit of more than 150,000 spaces across all NSW public schools.

The audit, combined with independent, expert advice from building services consultant Steensen Varming, has guided the targeted approach to ventilation in schools.

The 10,000 classrooms

receive automatic fresh air ventilation build on the 2,000 classrooms announced last year.

The program is supporting permanent upgrades to windows, ceiling and exhaust fans, additional servicing of ventilation systems, procurement of 19,000 ongoing installation of automatic fresh air ventilation systems.

In addition to the

Air Quality Assurance Program, permanent fresh air ventilation systems are also being progressively installed in thousands of classrooms as part of the NSW Government’s $500 million Cooler Classrooms program.

As at February 2022, more than 5,500 classrooms and 380 libraries have had systems installed under this program.

Rules on political signage to be enforced As the Federal election campaign moves into full swing, candidates and their supporters are reminded they must comply with State and Council regulations when erecting political signage.

With nominations due to close tomorrow ahead of the poll on Saturday, May 21, Council is reminding candidates of the strict rules governing the erection and display of political signage.

Council officers will undertake a program of compliance and monitoring to ensure all posters and signage containing electoral material comply with the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 Division 2, Subdivision 13 - Election signs.

As part of these regulations, election signs must be no more than 0.8 square metres in area.

No signs are allowed to be

displayed on Council’s road reserves, either free-standing pole signs or those affixed to trees or street furniture.

Signage is also not allowed to be displayed on a trailer parked on a road or roadrelated areas.

Election signs can be affixed to private telegraph poles, however the owner needs to be certain the pole is not owned by an electricity provider as legal action has occurred elsewhere in NSW. Council officers will remove signs from public property if they are not standard-sized corflute with appropriate content, or if they are in a dangerous location. All signage connected to power poles will be reported to Essential Energy for their attention and action.

Signs can be attached to the walls of houses or commercial buildings, as long as they adhere to size limitations in State regulations and are not

attached to heritage or draft heritage items.

Any signs that do not comply with the above rules may be impounded

by Council officers and will attract a Council fee for retrieval.

Any signs remaining one week after the election (May 28) will be removed and impounded.

Electoral material Candidates are responsible for complying with their electoral material obligations under the Commonwealth Electoral Act. Additional information on electoral material can be found in the Candidates Handbook: February 2022 Federal elections and By-elections published by the Australian Electoral Commission.

$5 million in grants to support mental health and wellbeing Community Wellbeing and Resilience Flood Recovery Grants are now available to support the wellbeing and mental health of residents in flood impacted areas across Northern NSW. Minister for Regional Health and Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said the grants will be allocated to non-government organisations to help deliver local trauma and recovery programs to ensure support is available long after the clean-up has finished.

“Natural disasters cause unseen stress and anxiety for impacted communities and we need to recognise that rebuilding goes far beyond bricks and mortar,” Mrs Taylor said.

“These grants will help provide a much-needed boost for communities who have been through a very difficult time, and the NSW Government is committed to ensuring we are doing everything

we can to support them.”

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the grants would support resident’s mental health and wellbeing as the region rebuilds.

“The devastating flooding left an enormous emotional toll on local residents and business owners.

This funding will help provide the support they need on the long road to recovery,” Ms Cooke said.

The initiative will be delivered by Healthy North Coast through the PHN Program and in collaboration with the Northern NSW Local Health District.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Officer Julie Sturgess said the program will focus on young people, older people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the NSW local government areas of Lismore, Richmond

Valley, Tweed, Ballina, Byron, Kyogle and Clarence Valley.

“These communities are most at risk of poorer outcomes following natural disasters, but they also know best what they need to get back on their feet,” Ms Sturgess said.

“For that reason, development of grant proposals and delivery of programs will be coordinated locally to enable tailored, community-led solutions.”

Under the Community Wellbeing and Resilience Flood Recovery Grants program a total of $5 million will be available over 3 years and will be released in stages.

Funding will be allocated to selected proposals with a budget of $100,000 - $200,000 per year, and multiyear projects will be considered.

Chocolate, chocolate everywhere in Woodburn SAMANTHA ELLEY What started out as a small attempt to provide affected children over Easter, turned into two events in both Woodburn and Evans Head.

When Mandy Hansen received a donation of Easter eggs from her family in Sydney, she called out to her girlfriend Lauren Heath to help. “(Mandy) had gotten covid so she didn’t want to open or touch the donations,” said Lauren.

“I had just had covid so I went and got them and made up gift packs.

“We did a shout out asking for people to donate as we thought we’d make up 40 packs.

We ended up making 80.”

The giving didn’t stop there, however.

“I got a call from Jordy at the Woodburn hub one day to say I had a delivery of Easter eggs,” said Lauren.

“I said, ‘No worries, just put them in the fridge and I’ll come and get them’.

“He said, ‘Um no, this is not a drop in the fridge style donation’.”

Lauren had received around 500 chocolate

Easter eggs from the Bank of Queensland in Lismore, which arrived on a pallette.

“We had more chocolate than we knew what to do with,” she laughed.

It was at this time, Lauren, Mandy and a few others agreed to go big or go home.

They commandeered the Rod n Reel pub at Woodburn to hold an event that included a jumping castle and sausage sizzle and numerous gift packs for A similar event was held in Evans Head at the park.

They also arranged a shuttle bus for families at Wardell and Broadwater to come and enjoy the days.

Lauren estimated around 1000 people enjoyed the Evans Head day and the Woodburn pub saw people ‘packed to the rafters’.

“It was a beautiful weekend,” said Lauren.

“It was so special and it shows it often takes a village when support is needed.

“My husband Rhys Cunningham was roped into being the Easter bunny and the Woodburn RFS drove him around to visit the kids.”

Westlawn Public School pupil Rio Brown reads his account of the crucial World War 1 Battle of Romani.

Anzac Day back with a bang TIM HOWARD Marchers outnumbered the watchers at the Grafton Anzac Day ceremony as people the annual day of remembrance.

New Grafton RSL sub-Branch president Leith Basset said it was heartening to see so many people turn out after the problems with Covid-19 over the past two years.

Anyone who appreciates a nature documentary knows you can’t go past Sir David Attenborough’s treasure trove of offerings. With a career spanning more than seven decades of hosting, producing and writing natural history programs, the 95-year-old British national treasure is a feat of nature himself. In this latest series, it’s all about how our animal counterparts romance each other – or not – and keep their species going for another generation. In an episode which focuses on the wildlife of the oceans, we are privy to some of the most innovative and ingenious mating methods of all.

Twelve seasons in, the Reagan clan of New York City cops are like family to loyal viewers.

While not everyone would be thrilled to have the New York Police Commissioner as their father, there are many would give an arm or a leg to have the moustachioed Frank (Tom Selleck) as their dependable, morally superior father; if you’re in a scrape, he can be counted on for sage, upstanding advice. In “Tangled Up in Blue”, tune in to see how the drama unfolds – and Frank reacts – when Jamie (Will Estes) is caught driving under the influence after unknowingly being given drugs at a party. Meanwhile, Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is stalked by a recently released prisoner.

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH’S THE MATING GAME

SATURDAY

CALL THE MIDWIFE

ABC, 8.20pm

More than just a beautiful period drama, Call the Midwife has steadfastly delved into the struggles and challenges for women in the 1950s and ’60s as change roared around them. It’s a sweet and delicate confection that doesn’t shy away from taking a hard bite out of the social issues of its time. As season 10 kicks off tonight, viewers can rest assured that the show has been green-lighted for three more seasons, which will likely take the nuns of Nonnatus House into the ’70s. Tonight, it’s spring 1966. Amid a distressing birth, Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter, above) and Doctor Turner (Stephen McGann) disagree over whether to provide a private care service.

TRAVEL 39

At a time when space and solitude are travel’s greatest luxuries, Australia shines bright. Beyond the observatories found in many cities, the clear, dark skies of regional and outback Australia make for dazzling stargazing opportunities.

Aboriginal astronomy Many visitors to Western Australia’s Monkey Mia come to see its friendly dolphins, but you can also learn about the

Astro-tourism

night sky through Indigenous eyes on an Aboriginal astronomy tour.

Listen to Dreaming stories, cook damper

meditate to the sound of a didgeridoo.

Further north, in Broome, Ngurrangga Tours’ guides reveal how constellations were formed according to Aboriginal lore.

The brilliance of the night sky is paired with Aboriginal storytelling by a Gangalidda guide

with Yagurli Tours, in Burketown in outback Queensland, while at carbon-neutral Earth Sanctuary in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, astronomy programs are crafted to coincide with cosmic events throughout the year.

There’s also an on-site observatory, and an annual Dark Skies Festival.

Dark sky zones Designated sark sky zones abound in Australia.

The only thing glowing at night in Warrumbungle National Park, a 5.5-hour drive northwest of Sydney, is the Milky Way. Australia’s Dark Sky Park is just outside the town of Coonabarabran, which is also home to Siding Spring Observatory, which you can visit on daytime tours, and Milroy Observatory, which offers night-sky tours. Off the east coast of Australia, the

star-splashed skies above Norfolk Island have earned it the designation of Gold Level Dark Sky Town.

Remarkably, the River Murray International Dark Sky Reserve is just 90 minutes from South Australia’s capital, Adelaide.

Similarly negligible light pollution across regional Western Australia makes it another great place to admire the night sky; use stargazing trails to guide you.

Stargazing sleeps Is there anything quite as magical as drifting off to sleep while gazing at a bedazzlement of stars overhead? The Milky Way is your only backdrop at Bubbletent Australia in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Here, three transparent domed tents – each and stargazing apps – overlook the world’s second-largest canyon.

Glass mosaics by Jenny Sayer Jenny got her works for this exhibition safely upstairs just before she had to evacuate in the middle of the night. devastating for so many local artists, some losing years of work. Jenny lost much of her earlier work and her studio ended up being covered in oozing sticky mud, but her precious art material remained intact. The

advantage of working in glass is mud can be scrubbed off!

Jenny’s glass mosaic ‘paintings’ of the Australian bush are truly beautiful. They live and shimmer. Whether it is a scene of burnt out mangroves, the glass projects a liveliness by chaotically bouncing light that never remains the deceptive apparent

chaos of the Northern Rivers bush.

Throughout her life Jenny has drawn and painted but it wasn’t until 2007 that she discovered the thrill of working in glass, which hasn’t left her. Recently Jenny has incorporated bees wax and collage into her intricate, painstaking mosaics, adding yet another dimension.

Construction costs rising at the fastest annual pace sinace introduction of the GST CoreLogic’s Cordell Construction Cost Index (CCCI) for Q1 2022 showed national residential construction costs increased 9% over the 12 months to March 2022, the highest annual growth rate on record outside of the introduction of the GST (10.2% over the year to March 2001).

The CCCI quarterly growth rate reaccelerated in Q1 2022 to 2.4%, more than double Q4 2021 (1.1%) but below the 3.8% surge over the three months to September 2021.

CoreLogic Construction Cost Estimation Manager, John Bennett, says Cordell data shows timber, metals and imported products are driving much of the growth.

“Timber costs continue to rise, with cladding, decking and other timber items affected.

Steep rises in metal prices are also now

obvious impact from high residential building costs are with builders, new home buyers and renovators, another important consideration is the sum insured by home owners. With construction costs up more than 25% over

market, with structural components hit hard.

“We continued to see volatility in the rest of the market, with imported products the most vulnerable due to elevated shipping costs.

Rising fuel costs are also on the radar and we have continued to see further increases in the cost of other materials,” says Mr Bennett.

CoreLogic Research Director Tim Lawless says the annual change in construction costs is approaching double digits, with the impact multi-layered.

“Construction cost growth adds a further element of uncertainty to new building projects and renovations as well to the economy,” says Mr Lawless.

“While the most

important for home owners to reassess their insurance terms and make sure they are adequately covered should they need to make a claim.”

Queensland recorded the lowest quarterly increase in construction costs over Q1 2022 (2.2%), while South Australia saw the highest quarterly growth (2.5%).

New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia each rose 2.4%, in line with the national growth rate.

Mr Lawless says.

“Considering the record number of houses approved for construction during the

HomeBuilder grant along with additional rebuild and repair work from the construction materials is likely to remain high.

At the same time, supply side challenges persist. A shortage of key materials such as structural timbers and metal products along with higher fuel costs, and labour shortages, is likely to keep upwards pressure on building costs for some time yet.”

CoreLogic researches, tracks and reports on materials and labour through its Cordell construction solutions to help businesses make better decisions, estimate rebuild and insurance quotes easily and, ultimately, price risk effectively.

• CCCI in New South Wales and Victoria increased 2.4% over the March quarter, taking

both states’ annual growth rate to 8.8%.

This is the fastest pace of annual growth in construction costs for NSW and Victoria since the 12 months to June 2001.

• Western Australia’s CCCI rose 2.4% over the March quarter and 9.5% higher than the state’s decade average annual growth rate of 4.2%.

• Queensland’s CCCI increased 2.2% over Q1 2022, the lowest of the states. The sunshine state’s annual growth is now at 8.7%.

• South Australia recorded the highest quarterly and annual growth rates of the states, as 2.5% and 9.8% growth respectively.

The CCCI report measures the rate of change of construction costs within the residential market and covers freestanding and semi-detached single and two storey homes.

Have your say on the property sector Real estate agents, landlords, homebuyers and strata communities will have their say on the property sector, as the Minister for Fair Trading Eleni Petinos and Property Services Commissioner John Minns travel across the state to engage with industry stakeholders.

The tour has kicked off in Western Sydney, and over the coming weeks the pair will continue around the state to meet with professionals in the property industry.

Minister for Fair Trading Eleni Petinos said the consultation allows agents and industry to directly collaborate on issues that affect local communities.

“Buying a property is one of the biggest decisions most people will make in their lives and it can be highly stressful.

We’re on the ground to work with stakeholders and improve the property industry,” Ms

Petinos said.

“The property sector adds $24 billion to the NSW economy each year, so we must ensure the right regulations are in place to protect consumers and support the industry.”

The Property Services Commissioner John Minns said the consultations will ensure the regulator continues to engage with the right stakeholders.

“A vibrant property services industry ensures consumers benefit from great experiences, innovative services, and value for money,” Mr Minns said.

Ruined roads require more than promises The state’s peak agricultural body has reminded politicians funding alone is not damaged roads.

On Thursday the state and federal governments announced $312 million to rebuild and improve roads in the state’s north, which was recently smashed by successive However, farmers and landholders on the

Kempsey-Armidale Road, which links Armidale and the coast, have been waiting for repaired, to no avail. The road is so badly damaged now – closed in multiple places – that people are worried for their safety, and some landholders say they would sell up and move out, if they a farm on a ruined road.

Sandra Mitchell, a local NSW Farmers member who lives on the road, said it was time for all levels of government to stop passing the buck and for work to be done.

“This would never happen if this road was in front of a local councillor’s house,” Ms Mitchell said.

“We don’t care who does the work as long as it gets done, and soon – this is a disaster waiting

to happen.”

The road was regional road to a local road in 2009 despite steadily increasing thoroughfare between Kempsey and Armidale.

As the road crumbled, the local agriculture, tourism and timber industries all suffered as continual closures and reductions in load limits made operating

businesses untenable.

Prior to the 2019 State Election then-Roads Minister Melinda Pavey wrote to local residents and told them: “the KempseyArmidale Road will be Road under a re-elected NSW Nationals and Liberals Government.

It means, in effect, that the State will resume responsibility for maintaining and

improving the KempseyArmidale Road”.

Furthermore state MP Adam Marshall announced in 2020 that the NSW Government would fund work to repair the entire length of the road, but so far little work has been done to

people with construction equipment do,” Mr Martin said.

Farmers reveal tips to save big on groceries grocer rather than the supermarket could save you big,” NSW Farmers horticulture committee member Chris Stillard said.

“We had staff check out the prices this week and the supermarket was dearer on pretty much every type fruit and vegetable.

“This is a win-win for

Farmers have revealed the number one way for families to avoid the supermarket price hikes.

With the price of groceries rising at supermarkets around the country, NSW Farmers has found a simple way to save on common food items.

“Shopping at the local independent green

you and your community – not only can you save money, but you can also support a local small business in the process.”

In southeast Sydney this week, bananas, potatoes, oranges, tomatoes and cucumbers were all at least a dollar a kilo cheaper at a green grocer less than 100 metres from

a major supermarket.

There were even bigger savings on mushrooms and celery, while onions were less than half the price per kilo than the supermarket. Seasonal produce was also markedly cheaper, and Mr Stillard said adopting a seasonal diet would also help reduce the food bill.

“For families who are worried about the cost of living, eating fresh seasonal produce and doing a quick price check is an easy way to avoid paying too much,” Mr Stillard said.

“I find that the produce at my local green grocer is often fresher as well, because it hasn’t been kept in cold storage for a

long time.

“There’s always going to be a place for supermarkets to grab your box of cereal or other household items, but for me it’s the butcher, baker and green grocer for most of our food.”

NSW Young Woman of the Year Lismore’s Jenna Robinson has been awarded Royal AgShow’s NSW Young Woman of the Year for her zone, which stretches from Tweed Heads to Gloucester.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke met Jenna at the Sydney Royal Easter Show to celebrate her achievement.

The pair met in front of the Northern District Produce Stand at the Woolworths Food Dome, which features a display of local produce from Jenna’s floodimpacted community.

“Water stopped 20 centimetres short of my ceiling. We have lost all of our household items and will need to replace the walls, kitchen and everything inside the house,” Jenna said.

“Both of the towns that are close to my heart, Lismore and Woodburn, along with a lot of my family members have had devastation and heartbreak from losing items in their homes, some of them irreplaceable.”

Minister Cooke said Jenna’s story is one of incredible resilience, a trait reflective of the entire Northern Rivers community.

“Jenna’s perseverance and strength is extraordinary. Nothing was going to stop Jenna from going on this trip and being here at the Sydney Royal Easter Show to realise her dream of being an ambassador for young people in the Northern Rivers,” Ms Cooke said.

Consumers urged to buy a #nana4afarmer Fancy a banana or two or maybe even a hand?

Consumers are being encouraged to dig deep and throw a few extra of Australia’s favourite supermarket fruit into the trolley to help out Australia’s banana growers.

Like most farmers, banana growers nationally are currently enduring a time of unprecedented challenge, including low returns,

escalating farm input costs, COVID consumer buying challenges, worker shortages and weather events.

Already battling through long periods of poor market prices, the arrival of COVID put an unprecedented level of pressure on almost every Australian banana business as labour was thrown into turmoil – and continues to impact operations – while severe

weather events have also taken their toll.

More recently, global economic pressures have also dramatically driven up farm input costs, including escalating the price of fertiliser, chemicals, freight and fuel.

On top of this, a recent two-week heatwave in Far North Queensland’s growing region, caused a number of issues with fruit quality, with

some growers forced to destroy worst affected parts of crops.

As it goes, banana growers have always been among the most resilient of farmers – especially when it comes to dealing with adversity like that dished out by Mother Nature.

But at the moment, our Aussie banana growers could do with a helping hand. The industry has launched a social media

WaterNSW and Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR)

campaign #nana4afarmer (pronounced nah-nah or a farma) to encourage consumers to keep buying bananas – and more of them.

Australian Banana Growers’ Council chair Stephen Lowe said banana growers were the fabric of many regional and rural communities around Australia.

“We urge consumers to please continue to show your support and buy

a #nana4afarmer,” Mr Lowe said.

“Just adding a couple extra bananas in your shopping basket will make a considerable difference to our growers who continue to toil away to provide you with Australia’s numberone supermarket fruit.”

Feral deer in Tweed: 50 reported sightings in past year Feral deer are now in the Tweed, posing a serious problem if local populations establish and grow.

The breeding season or rut has begun for Fallow and Red deer, which is the time of year when they are most active.

Six species of feral deer have been introduced in Australia and they are fast becoming one of the nation’s most concerning pest animals

as they breed quickly manage as populations grow.

There have been 50 of feral deer reported in the Tweed since the Northern Rivers Feral Deer Alert program was launched in May 2021.

Council’s Feral Deer Rachel Hughes said there are indications of numbers increasing, and

to expect the unexpected.

“It is likely recent dispersed feral deer into new areas. Be on the look-out not only in rural areas but also in urban areas,” Ms Hughes said.

“Deer are renowned for jumping out from roadsides and bounding across roads. Some feral deer weigh up to 240kg – almost as much as a Harley Davidson motorbike – and 3 times

the weight of a male red kangaroo! That’s not something you want to see on the road in front of you, especially in the dark.

“They can also reduce the ability of farmers to earn a living and cause damage.

“Feral deer are most active at dawn and dusk which coincides with peak periods for road users.”

Along with reported sightings in the Tweed – including at Terranora just last week – there have been two recent sightings in the neighbouring Byron Shire.

Council is urging local residents, farmers, landholders, bushwalkers and motorists to report any feral deer sightings on FeralScan to help stop populations establishing in the Northern Rivers.

“We need these reports so we can understand where the deer are,” Ms Hughes said.

Feral deer hunting in NSW is controlled and regulated and it is illegal to hunt in National Parks and on public land.

Prevent feral deer getting out of control by reporting all sightings at www.feralscan.org.au/ deerscan or phone Local Land Services on 1300 795 299.

Regional voices needed for health panel NSW Farmers is encouraging people with a strong interest in rural and regional health to put their hand up for a new advisory body.

The NSW Government has opened expressions of interest for the new Regional Health Ministerial Advisory Panel, with Regional Health Minister Bronnie Taylor saying it would be integral in improving health outcomes for people across rural and regional NSW. Sarah Thompson, a NSW Farmers member and retired occupational therapist, said country communities experienced a lower level of access to health services, and welcomed moves to improve services.

“Regional, rural and remote communities deserve excellent health care and that’s what we want to see achieved,” Mrs Thompson said.

“We need a commitment, focus and funding to deliver the services that are needed, and this will be a great way

to let government know what those needs are.

“Providing health services in rural and remote communities has a whole different set of challenges and we need people with those experiences to have their say on how we can build future success.”

According to the NSW Government, the inaugural appointments to the panel will be for a period of up to three years – following selection by Minister Taylor and approval

by Cabinet – and will meet at least every three months.

For more, including the expression of interest form, please visit: www. health.nsw. gov.au.

New action plan aims to halve NSW road deaths New targets to halve deaths and reduce serious injuries by 30% on NSW roads by 2030 will underpin a NSW Government commitment to spend an additional $250 million on road safety.

Minister for Meropolitan Roads Natalie Ward said the newly-released 2026 Road Safety Action Plan outlined a series of important new road

safety initiatives to reduce the road toll.

“One death is a death too many and we want to create the safest road system we can, so that everyone using the road returns home safely to their families,” Mrs Ward said.

“We know the measures we’ve delivered through our previous Plan have worked to save lives.

270 people were killed on NSW roads last year,

our lowest road toll since 1923, but this number is still too high.”

Under the previous 2021 Road Safety Plan, NSW achieved its target of a 30% reduction in road deaths in the past decade.

“That was a heartening result but it’s vital we look to the future and continue the trend with the ultimate aim to be no deaths on our roads.

We should be treating

everyone on our roads as if they are family,” Mrs Ward said.

“Important initiatives in our new Plan include a new online Learner Licence Education and Testing Platform to improve interactive learning and access to a licence.”

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said rural and regional NSW would continue to be a key

focus under the Plan.

“People living in regional NSW typically spend more time on the road, driving further, and at higher speeds where safety infrastructure can make a life-saving difference,” Mr Farraway said.

“This funding boost will build on programs already making an important difference in our regional communities such as the

Saving Lives on Country Roads Initiative.”

The $250 million funding boost brings the NSW Government’s commitment to improving road safety to almost $2.4 billion years, excluding any potential further safety infrastructure funding.

All initiatives will be delivered through the Community Road Safety Fund.

Premium predictability for NSW businesses The NSW Government has issued a direction to Insurance and Care NSW (icare) to limit the average premium rate increase for NSW workers compensation to 2.9 per cent, ensuring predictability and stability for businesses.

This will see the average premium rate increased from 1.44 per cent of wages to 1.48

per cent for the policy year 2022-23, in line with rate increases in the last policy year and remaining below the national average.

This direction, made by the Minister for Finance Damien Tudehope in the public interest, to the State Insurance Regulatory Authority

(SIRA).

Mr Tudehope said the maintenance of a modest increase in premiums balances the cost impacts on NSW businesses and the long-term sustainability of the workers compensation scheme.

Red tape cut to mobilise interstate tradies Working in NSW is about to become easier for interstate tradespeople, with the Government rolling out the welcome mat to ease construction industry labour shortages.

From July 1, NSW will recognise a range of interstate building and construction registrations, with certain tradespeople no longer needing to apply for a NSW licence, or pay additional registration or

renewal fees.

Treasurer Matt Kean said more electricians, plumbers, and building workers coming to NSW would help the Government accelerate the repairs of homes, businesses, and schools damaged by the recent

By $&!&()"*$&+ With pandemic, war and bad weather chipping away at our lifestyles, automobile manufacturers, with their reliance on semi-conductors, have suffered more than most industries.

Mitsubishi is no exception and with shrinking supplies of tech equipment for its best-selling Outlander SUV, and increasing material, manufacturing and logistic costs, has reduced variants’ standard specification for a 22.5 model year.

For example, with the midrange Aspire model (the test vehicle) has a full digital driver display, has gone back to the seven-inch multi-information display, replacing the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the maker says, to optimise production and minimise supply delays.

However, there is still much to mention about the popular 22MY Aspire AWD, which sells for $43,990, plus on-road costs.

Mitsubishi is the first to admit the new Outlander is a fiveplus-two-seater rather than a seven-seater and has been quick to use this as a selling point.

The Outlander also recently gained top marks for adult and child occupant safety, safety assist systems and pedestrian

and cyclist protection in the independent ANCAP 2022 testing protocols, thus earning a top five-star rating.

All Outlanders are covered by Mitsubishi’s ten-year 200,000-kilometre warranty and capped price servicing, with all scheduled services done through the authorised Mitsubishi Motors Dealer Network. Otherwise, it’s a five-year / 100,000km one. !"#$%&' The new Outlander shares a chassis with the new Nissan X-Trail, which is some way off, and according to Mitsubishi, continues the tradition of an authentic SUV with a bold and distinctive exterior, including ‘muscular fenders and chiseled lines of the next generation Dynamic Shield grille’.

Designers have done a real job on the front end, with dominant squiggles of chrome descending from bonnet to bumper bracketing automatic levelling headlamps with adaptive driving beam, and incorporating daytime running lights.

This feature, to my mind, can either add to, or detract from the look of the vehicle, depending on the body colour behind it.

Too flashy, it is not totally to my

taste. However, the 20-inch alloy wheels with two-tone finish do complement the total set-up. .+"-'.#' Comfort and convenience are to the fore with the newly crafted cabin clothed in classy materials, including Microsuede / synthetic leather seat trim, leather steering wheel and gearshift knob and power driver’s seat with lumbar support.

As mentioned above, the new Outlander is a five-plus-twoseater rather than a seven-seater, with the third row having limited leg, head and toe room, plus upright backrest and is best suited to small kids.

Headrests can be stored in an underfloor cubby and there’s also a space-saver spare wheel underneath the rear of the vehicle. As for cargo, the maker quotes 163 litres with the third row in place, 478 litres with the third row folded, and 1473 litres with the second and third rows folded. %&()"*%&+,&" All 2022 Outlanders feature more technology and connectivity than previously, with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto now standard.

Instrument layout and controls have been simplified in line with

modern design.

Sadly, as stated above a planned 12.3-inch full colour digital instrument cluster has been abandoned in favour of the 7-inch colour multi-information display due to supply constraints.

There is a 10.8-inch full-colour windscreen head-up display as standard on the Aspire models and above, and wireless smartphone charger. ,&'%&,!-.-"/*&!+%!!%)&!

A newly developed 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 135 kW of power at 6000 rpm and 245 Nm of torque at 3600 rpm, is mated with a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Sport mode with eight pre-set gear ratios is available via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. !*(,"# All new Outlanders have earned a top five-star ANCP safety rating on the latest 2022 tests.

They already enjoyed a comprehensive set of active safety measures, including predictive forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, driver attention alert, land change assist, emergency stop signal and emergency brake assist.

In addition, all Outlanders have hill start assist and hill descent control, active stability control, trailer stability assist, traction control, anti-lock braking, electronic brakeforce distribution and brake override.

-0/%1%&' The new Outlander may have run into tough going but there’s no lack of new tech and equipment for Mitsubishi’s popular SUV. An upgraded powerplant ensures smooth going without any fireworks, after all it is only a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder unit taking on more than 1700kg of metal.

Generally, driving dynamics are adequate.

At hand is a new drive-by-wire transmission with new CVT logic, delivering a more direct shift pattern under large throttle inputs, while retaining smooth cruising and fuel efficiency of the CVT. Mitsubishi’s motorsport-developed Super All-Wheel Control all-wheel drive system serves up six drive modes – sport, gravel, snow, mud, eco and normal (default) – that adjusts the 4WD system to suit the going.

This re-engineered system includes active yaw control with rear-wheel brake control to independently act on all four wheels and a new hydraulic direct coupling device for faster all-wheel response. !2++*/# Despite the shortfall in technical upgrades, the Mitsubishi Outlander still has plenty for the discerning mid-size SUV buyer to Aspire to, not least the seven-seat capacity and extensive warranty plan. *"-*-'$*&3, +)0,$-$%&,425 Outlander ES 5-seat 2WD: $34,490 Outlander ES 7-seat 2WD: $35,490 Outlander ES 5-seat 4WD: $36,990 Outlander LS 7-seat 2WD: $37,990 Outlander LS 7-seat 4WD: $40,490 Outlander Aspire 7-seat 2WD: $41,490 Outlander Aspire 7-seat 4WD: $43,990 Outlander Exceed 7-seat 4WD: $48,490 Outlander Exceed Tourer 7-seat 4WD: $50,990 Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges.

HEALTH 55

Parents urged to get children under five vaccinated against flu INFLUENZA VACCINATION IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE Parents of children aged six months to under five years are urged to book their child in for a free flu vaccine with their GP, as this cohort is at risk of suffering serious illness from influenza.

Influenza vaccination is safe and effective, and children aged six months to under five years are eligible for a free vaccine from their GP under the National Immunisation Program (NIP).

Acting Executive Director, Health Protection NSW, Dr Vicky Sheppeard said young children are making up a higher proportion of flu cases than two years ago.

“Almost two in 10 flu notifications (17 per cent) in March were kids aged under five, compared with one in 10 (10 per cent) for the same period in 2019,” Dr Sheppeard said.

“With international borders reopening, increased social mixing and lower exposure to influenza over the past two years, more people of all ages will be at risk of influenza than in the past two years, when COVID-19 safeguard measures offered us greater protection.

“This year there is particular concern for those young children aged two and

under, who have never lived through a flu season or gained any immunity to the virus. We have plenty of vaccine supply available across NSW, so please book in with your GP now.”

While no influenza vaccines are licenced for use in children less than six months of age, vaccination during pregnancy does provide protection to infants in the early months of life.

“Women can get the flu shot at any time during pregnancy. It takes at least two weeks to make antibodies after getting a flu vaccine and those antibodies are passed on to the baby, offering a newborn protection against influenza,” Dr Sheppeard said.

Everyone six months and older is recommended to get a flu jab. Vaccinations are available through GPs for everyone aged six months and over and are also available through pharmacies for everyone aged 10 and over.

Those considered to be at higher risk of severe illness from influenza are eligible for a free flu vaccine and include: • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from six months of age

• Children from six months to under five years of age • People with serious health condi tions (including severe asthma, diabetes, cancer, immune disorders, obesity, kidney, heart, lung or liver disease) • Pregnant women • People aged 65 and over.

When people book, they should ask their pharmacist or GP which vaccine is right for them. NSW Health continues to urge everyone to take simple precautions to protect each other: • Stay at home if you are sick and avoid close contact with other people to protect yourself and the community from flu and COVID-19 • Wear a mask in indoor spaces if you are unable to physically distance • Gather in well ventilated spaces or open windows and doors • Sneeze into your elbow instead of your hands • Wash your hands thoroughly and often.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Wash away your sins and put your blessings through the ringer This was to be yet another political column, because, well, there’s not much else going on apart from a global environmental crisis, a few species extinctions, a couple of wars, bit of poverty and housing stress, starvation and other health matters, and anyway Albo is crook, so in deference this is an electioncampaign-free column and won’t that be a blessing?

What better segue then, to count our other blessings.

The Prime Minister might be blessed having a couple of girls who look like him (poor things), but our house is blessed with an amazing washing machine.

Actually, like kids, you are not so much blessed with a washing machine as with enough money to make the transaction with Harvey Norman in exchange for a thing that throws your clothes around and spins them until they are dizzy.

You used to be able to make kids do that, except Whitlam outlawed it about the time it became un-PC to say how blessed you were that your kids didn’t work in sheltered workshops, a term that became un-PC at the same time.

But I digress. Our washing machine has 12 settings, ‘Modes’ the manual calls them, but we’ve only had it six months so haven’t read that yet. Maybe it’s time because I don’t understand any of them.

There’s ‘ECO 40-60’, which is a term applied to rock bands of the Whitlam era which I never

Gralyn Estate Margaret River Reserve Shiraz 2011, $120 Yes, that vintage is correct. It’s older than our dog, understood. Same with the washing and half the price. Grand fare, despite its minimalist machine’s. It’s not 40-60 minutes, 12.5 per cent, from one of Margaret River’s oldest it goes for three hours! Not very wineries (and first cellar door) boasting only four Eco, specially on Earth Day. hectares under vine, so it’s rare too. 9.6/10.

There’s an ‘Express 20’ setting, which you would think means Gralyn Estate Margaret River Reserve Shiraz 2018, 20 minutes. Nup. It’s about 40 $120 minutes.

It’s not often you get the chance to try a couple of ‘Cottons’ is another. What wines half a generation apart, nor be so indulgent. happens if you put synthetics in Lash out and savour le difference or dare to be accidently? Will it know? Ditto diffident and leave for another seven years. 9.4/10.

‘Dark Garments/Denim’. Can you use the term ‘Dark Garments’ still Howard Park (Great Southern) Arbor Novae Pinot or is that like ‘Blessed Children’?

Gris 2020, $30 Equally, there’s ‘Woollens’, with It’s Earth Day, April 22nd, so get up and out a little hand beside it? What does there and do something eco. Use that setting on that mean? your washing machine or buy this wine or plant a ‘Delicates’? Mind your own new tree, which is what Arbor Novae means…the business. Is that the opposite of latter that is. Light, bright gris in a riesling bottle is ‘Outerwear’? appropriate. 9.1/10.

Then there’s the most mysterious setting, ’Proofing’. Perhaps it’s Howard Park (Porongurup) Arbor Novae, Riesling something Germans do with their 2021, $30 clothes.

Another Earth Day offering with art by Andy Ahh, washing was such a simple Quilty, so if you soak the label off carefully and chore when you were blessed with frame it, you’ll get your money back easily. Soft and kids to do it for you, after they round (both the wine and the art) in that WA riesling finished their shift in the coal mine way.

9.4/10. and Scomo was a boy.

Oh, there’s one more setting, Richard Hamilton McLaren Vale Burton’s Vineyard ‘Drain/Spin’, which is clearly Old Vine Grenache 2020, $38 political or about wine-tasting, so let’s go the latter and spin and drain Gimme that old vine religion, it’s good enough for me. And so is grenache which hides its 14.5 per cent these until Albo gets back : under a bushel. 9.3/10.

Max Crus is a Clarence ValleyRichard Hamilton McLaren Vale Hut Eleven Single based wine writer and Grape Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, $38 Expectations is now in its 26th Like Barossan cabernet, McLaren Vale’s are often year of publication. Find out more about Max or sign up for his underrated, indeed ignored, which is good. It keeps a lid on enthusiastic accountants and therefore prices. weekly reviews and musings by visiting maxcrus.com.au Wine-scribes do this deliberately of course. 9.4/10.

THE LONG WAY HOME - 2022 WRITING COMPETITION IS NOW OPEN This year, the local Clarence Valley

TTA THE COOLANGATTA BRANCH OF THE QCWA are carrying on the long-held tradition of caring for people in times of crisis and for those less fortunate within our community.

We are currently recruiting new members to enable us to contribute even more for our community.

The Long Way Home competition is events on the Clarence Valley calendar.

This year the theme is: Let go.

After two years of COVID, and the 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 written 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, what she expected to read 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.’ is published 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. Entries close 1 June 2022.

KINGSCLIFF KINGSCLIFFE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY MEMBERSHIP DRIVE AT KINGSCLIFF The Tweed Hospital branch of United Hospital Auxiliaries NSW is to conduct a membership drive at Kingscliff Shopping Village on April 28-29.

While the branch has had a close connection with The Tweed Hospital, it recognises that the new hospital will be located south of Tweed Heads and residents in those areas may be interested in volunteer work when the new hospital opens.

The branch welcomes the opportunity to talk to those who are retired, unemployed or simply looking for a chance to give back to one of our most critical services – our hospital.

There is a range of jobs that can be gift shop, fashion parades, jumble sales and luncheons. People with cars are very important to the running of these operations to transport material to the various venues.

The branch meetings are held monthly and the cost of membership is only $5 per year. There are some procedures that have to processed, such as police checks. Full vaccination is required for those volunteers who are working in the hospital.

So the public in the Kingscliff area and surrounds are invited to talk to our volunteers about our UHA branch of The Tweed Hospital. For more information contact John on 0421 085 985.
