Entertainment, news, fun and sadness A home-made cake, a nurturing casserole or a warming soup served with loving hugs and cuddles is the tradition of Cabonne's local communities as we come together to help each other cope through times of loss.

It's called 'cocooning' where we wrap those suffering the most darkest times of grief to help lighten their loads.

Residents of Cabonne have grown with this tradition and will continue to embrace, in their own way, the continuation of 'what is a community' - and one of the many strengths of a close community.

Whilst the Express has a policy that prevents us from joining the mainstream media in covering the finer details of car accidents, accidental deaths, murders, etc - and taking photos of such times - we do believe that we should acknowledge that lives have been lost, injuries have eventuated, and that the communities of Molong and Manildra - and others - are suffering immense grief.

Our thoughts, prayers, love and compassion are with the families, friends and neighbours of those who are no longer with us and to those suffering.

Rozzi and Paul Molong Express

Molong's popular muso Tim Oxley was joined by 'Judidwen' Molong's popular local 'good witch' - who holds the power of creation and inspiration, poetry and local bush poetry at the MAG Molong Markets.

With microphone in hand, 'Judidwen' had a busy day interviewing stall holders, market-goers, and waving her magic wand at children and dogs who tried to steal her glamorous red pointed hat covered in black spiders.

"Yikes" said Tim when "down came a spider" on his mouth organ. "I'd rather one of your home-made vanilla slices Judidwen". Unfortunately for Tim, the vanilla slices like most other 'food on the go stalls' had sold out by the end of the markets (2 pm).

Editor's Note: Thank you to Tim who spoke on behalf of the Molong and District community to visiting television teams about last Friday's tragic loss. And to Jude, who made spirited music and fun to lift the spirits of both Molong locals and Manildra visitors on their sad loss. Well done!

Brittany Higgins story continues its damaging trail, with no end in sight

The Brittany Higgins saga has damaged almost everyone it has touched, or who’s touched it.

It will forever haunt Higgins, who alleged she was raped in 2019 in a minister’s office, and Bruce Lehrmann, who denied committing the alleged assault. An aborted trial has meant there is no legal judgement.

It helped destroy Scott Morrison. It deeply scarred Linda Reynolds, the minister in question, and had an impact on Fiona Brown, Reynolds’ staffer at the time who dealt with the matter.

In fresh rounds of this story that never goes away, more people are being dragged down, to greater or lesser degrees: the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions, police, some in the media. Now, Finance Minister Katy Gallagher is in the political frame.

After The Australian’s recent publication of texts between Higgins and her partner David Sharaz, exchanged in the run-up to the airing of Higgins’ 2021 interview with Ten’s Lisa Wilkinson, Gallagher faces allegations of misleading parliament.

In a testy exchange with Reynolds at a Senate estimates committee in 2021, Gallagher insisted she’d had no knowledge before the story broke.

Reynolds had claimed she’d been told by a Labor senator (who was the late Kimberley Kitching) “two weeks before about what you were intending to do with the story in my office”.

At the hearing Labor’s Senate leader Penny Wong immediately declared she’d had no knowledge, while Gallagher said categorically, “No one had any knowledge,” adding angrily, “how dare you!”

Reynolds subsequently said Gallagher and Wong later that day told her they’d had some prior indication but had nothing to do with the matter going public.

In the text exchange Sharaz, anxious to ensure the story would become an issue politically, flagged he’d shared information with Gallagher, whom he knew. He believed she would be useful in pursuing the matter when the Wilkinson interview was broadcast.

Gallagher at the weekend admitted she was told “there was going to be some public reporting that a young woman [was] making serious allegations about events that had occurred in a minister’s office”. Wong also qualified her position, saying she didn’t know “full details of the allegations before the story became public”.

The opposition is calling for Gallagher’s resignation or sacking, but that won’t be happening.

While her statement to the committee was misleading, Gallagher was not a minister. Indeed, even ministers do not fall on their sword these days for what was once considered the serious sin of misleading parliament. (In the 1980s, Hawke government minister John Brown did so, in the wake of an answer he gave to an opposition question.)

Precisely what Labor knew before the story broke remains unclear, as does precisely who in Labor knew about it. The Kitching leak indicated the senior Labor women in the Senate were aware – did they pass anything on?

But there was nothing improper about Gallagher receiving information – oppositions get alerts all the time. The issue was her denial at the Senate committee.

Labor will stare down the opposition’s attacks.

It can counter by saying returning to the issue brings fresh trauma for Higgins, and the private text messages should never have been leaked (where they came from is unknown).

If it chooses, Labor can raise Brown’s weekend claims that, when the heat was on her over her handling of the Higgins matter, she received little support from Scott Morrison and his office (to which she’d returned by the time the story broke). Her weekend interview with The Australian carried the implication Morrison may have misled parliament when he told the House of Representatives he’d spoken with her about the matter (Brown said he hadn’t).

There’s unlikely to be much mileage for the opposition in the pursuit of Gallagher – although that’s not to say she doesn’t have questions to answer.

MOLONG EXPRESS, Thursday 15 June 2023

As Anthony Albanese has pointed out, the issue was about the former government, not the then opposition.

For the Liberals to revisit it is to hark back to the Morrison days – bad territory for the Coalition.

Moreover, people have entrenched views about the Higgins matter and few opinions will shift.

Anyway, the public are now preoccupied with a range of bread-and-butter issues. They’re unlikely to focus on, or care about, the ins-and-outs of who in Labor knew what when.

But Reynolds cares a lot. All along she felt wrongly targeted, believing she behaved properly. Most recently, she was angered when not allowed into the mediation that saw Higgins receive a large sum of Commonwealth money. She wanted to mount her defence against the

What’s the Voice referendum about?

claims made about her and her office.

Reynolds intends to refer this payout to the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which commences operating on July 1.

Regardless of that, in the name of transparency, the government should provide the details of the payment.

Meanwhile, there’s a lot still to come in this story, even apart from what happens in defamation actions Lehrmann has launched. On the basis of the evidence we heard, the ACT inquiry into the conduct of criminal justice agencies in the case could be set to deliver a hefty load of brickbats in its report, due at the end of next month.

What is the Voice?

It’s about whether we should change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by setting up an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. A referendum is the only way to change the Australian Constitution.

The Voice would be a permanent body that gives independent advice to the Australian Parliament and Government on matters that affect First Nations people.

The Voice aims to help the Parliament and Government to make better decisions and deliver better outcomes for First Nations people.

Scan here to visit the website

How will the Voice be set up?

How it’s set up would be determined after the referendum with input from First Nations people, the broader public and the Government. The Parliament would then make a law to set up the Voice.

The intention is that its members will be chosen by and representative of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across Australia.

Molong markets fit for a monarch Winter weather didn’t deter more than 4000 people who attended the Molong Village Markets at the weekend.

More than 145 stallholders packed the rec grounds to sell their wares to locals and visitors alike.

While the King wasn’t in attendance, he would have found the markets fit for him!

Molong Advancement Group President, Peter Batten, said people attended the markets from across Australia including Mount Gambier, SA, who arranged their stay in Molong around the markets.

He said people attended from as far as Perth WA, Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, as well as

Sydney, Wollongong and the HunterValley.

It was also very well supported by locals, and those from neighbouring regions.

“The markets draw a broad cross section of people from many locations,” he said.

“But we couldn’t make the event as popular without the support from the community individuals and groups who help.”

He said more than 40 people volunteered on the day to assist.

Mr Batten said they raised more than $2800 in donations which would be put back into the community.

He said many stallholders had already booked in for the next markets in October - set to be big.

Remembering Max Coombs of 'Upton' Boomey A family farming story that started in 1801 at Mappowder, Dorsetshire, England

The black and white family photo is taken at the Coombs family farm ‘Upton’ on Christmas Day 1940. It was the last time that the nine members of the family were all at home together.

(Back l to r) Victor, Reginald (Reg), Hazel, Max, Max’s mother Laura, Eveline, Max’s father James (Jim) Seated: Douglas (Doug) and Darcy 'Upton' taken in 1968.

Max Coombs was born in 1929 into one of Boomey's early settler family's. He would often write to the Express about his childhood growing up on the family farm, 'Upton' as one of 9 children born to James and Laura Coombs. "It was a different place back then" he would say. "The world was a different place".

He reached the grand age of 94 (years old) on the 21st May 2023, just a couple of weeks before his passing. Max was the last of his Molong generation …all of his siblings, most of his friends and 62 first cousins have all gone before him.

‘Upton’ was a property of some 700 acres close to the tiny village of Boomey and just north east of Molong near Orange.

His parents, James and Laura inherited the property from James’ parents Robert and Elizabeth Coombs who had bought the land around 1870 after they had been successful in finding gold at Hill End. A comfortable country homestead was built by James and Laura in the 1920’s and by all accounts was the envy of the area. Laura organised ballroom dancing nights, piano lessons for the children, picnics by the river, tennis matches on the property’s own tennis court, and Sunday church at Biri. The homestead was even a polling booth on some occasions.

Upton was hardly a paddock in today's terms but the Coombs family loved the landscape and the sense of 'home' that helped to raise 7 growing children (Reginald, Douglas, Hazel, Darcy, Eveline, Victor and Maxwell).

Max would say "the days were long and there was plenty of unpaid overtime for each family member".

Farming wheat and sheep the family led a happy life working the land and being able to live and work together and to achieve well together.

It was an interesting point that Max would raise with

Max and Clare

The recent group picture is Max celebrating his 90th birthday in 2019. (L to R) Clare Coombs, Darryl Coombs, daughter Merylin, Max, Robert Coombs, daughter Loretta. family and others in later life. Son Robert recognised that "my grandfather was born in 1876. My father Max lived until 2023. That is a period of nearly 150 years which is spanned by a father and son. An amazing statistic in Australian family history.

In retirement years, Max would often write recounted stories of these happenings and childhood memories.

When he sent these stories into the local newspaper the “Molong Express”, he was delighted that they actually published them! The Editor, Rozzi Smith, told him that the readers loved the stories and recollections very much.

So Max in fact proudly became a “Writer, Author and Correspondent” The period of Max’s upbringing was also a particularly traumatic time. The world’s economy was about to crash, and this was closely followed by all the horrors of a world at war.

Max’s older brothers- Reg, Doug, Darcy and Victor did what many young Australians did at the time- they all signed up to do their bit. Max would have loved to as well but he was too young.

Max was very proud of his brother's war efforts and contribution. "There was no doubt about that" said Robert. Unfortunately, the conflict took the life of one of those siblings shortly thereafter- his brother Darcy who Max was very close to. This loss devastated Max, as no doubt it did the family. He would refer to Darcy with much love and affection- he felt that someone very important to him had been cruelly, and unnecessarily taken away from him.

So these events- hard work, conflict and war, economic depression, loss of family members no doubt impacted Max’s outlook and opinion. He spoke fondly of the characters that emerged from the times, the culture that it produced, the ideals that it manifested.

Change was nearly impossible for Max. From 'Upton' he learnt country values and embraced these throughout his life.

Considered to be very old fashioned and conservative in his views - he unashamedly loved the monarchy and the outreaches of the Empire, the pomp and the ceremony,

thought that Robert Menzies was the best leader in a couple of generations, and was suspicious of any liberal or progressive change. It was his duty to serve - not lead.

Max served in the defence forces as did his brothers.

He joined the RAAF in 1948 and remained for 22 years or so.

He didn’t see conflict, but he did serve overseas. He was in Momete in Papua New Guinea in the early 1950’s for a couple of years repairing Japanese damage to the airfield and infrastructure.

He had fond memories of that tour of duty and spoke well about the relationship that he and his colleagues forged with the local indigenous residents.

The family did not know a lot about this stay, except the detail of a particularly ordinary Christmas lunch that was served on one occasion. So scarce was the food that the best the RAAF Cooks and Stewards could serve up was two slices of sausage meat, rice and some salad.

For Max fresh farm raised and killed meats were firmly entrenched in his memories. It was his first Christmas without plump Roast Turkey and Baked Vegetables served in the Upton family dining room.

His memories of family dinners and fresh foods served by his mum, Laura and sisters were said to be amazing.

As country cooks have been known to grow, make and deliver. Roast meats, Bread and Butter Puddings, Steamed Puddings ... and delicious lamb chops.

Max’s RAAF service played another important role in his life- that’s when the Coombs kids were all born.

There was one much more important thing though that happened while Max was in the RAAF - that’s where he met his future wife Clare when they were both at Williamtown RAAF Base. Clare was in the WRAAF. Max reached the rank of Flight Sergeant before his retirement in 1970. From his Upton farming days - Max was able to present to employers a number of practical - tried and tested skills. Mechanical work being an important part of his life - which helped him to collect tractors to rebuild during his retirement.

His retirement from the RAAF also coincided with the family moving to Caves Beach in 1971 – a place that the family called home.

For Max, it was noticeable as he walked through the paddocks once owned and farmed by the Coombs family that 'home' was still amongst the wheat crops, and sheep grazing in the paddocks - illuminated by the magical sunsets that cast special images across the pristine landscape. Each shadow, each image - a reminder of James and Laura and his brothers and sisters at Upton.

Max will be recalled in the Coombs family history books as a hardworking honest and very sincere man.

His favourite saying “Better to be born lucky than rich” might sum up his life- though he had far more riches than luck- and besides- good players make their own luck anyway.

Reading the history books - that's what the Coombs family stood for throughout history of hardwork, belief, respect, family values.

A wonderful family story that first started in 1801 in Mappowder, Dorsetshire, England.

disaster, the insurance claims of many Molong locals are still up in the air.

That’s why I’m calling for a parliamentary inquiry into the response of insurers to natural disasters in Australia.

Time and time again after disasters, we have seen insurance companies weasel out of paying out claims. Enough is enough.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and opened up about how they have been treated by insurers. The heartbreaking stories shared at the community meeting reinforced the need for a lens to be turned insurance companies.

AMAZING WORK, MOLONG RSL SUBBRANCH!

n Molong last week, it was great to catch up with Marc Mathews, Compensation and Rehabilitation Advocate at the Molong RSL Sub-Branch. Recently, the Sub-Branch received $19,000 across three different grants to support the amazing work they do for veterans in our local community.

It’s fantastic that the Molong RSL Sub-Branch received a Volunteer Grant, which will enable the group to update their office with new computers and office furniture to give their operations a boost!

The Sub-Branch also got the green light for a Building Excellence in Support and Training grant, which will provide the group with greater financial support to deliver wellbeing advocacy training to assist veterans and their families who are seeking compensation.

A massive congratulations to the group for also securing a Saluting Their Service grant, which will assist the group to construct a Memorial Garden to commemorate the servicemen and women who have served in modern conflicts, such as Afghanistan, Iraq and East Timor. Once complete, this will be the first memorial in the Central West to mark contemporary conflict.

LOCAL BUSINESSES STILL BATTLING INSURANCE COMPANIES

R

ecently, I caught up with local businesswoman, Kate Redfern, to have a chat about the ongoing insurance issues facing many businesses in Molong.

investors in this beautiful town need to feel confident to buy in Molong knowing they will be supported by insurers should the worst happen.

While Kate and Sal's insurance claim for the old cafe building on Bank Street was granted, they are still waiting for an official verdict on her new building - an astounding eight months since the storm and flood event in Molong!

These delays are inexcusable.

It's good to see that local businesses are still pressing on with their insurance claims, but insurers need to be doing more to make sure rural communities can stand on their own two feet after disaster strikes. Our residents deserve better.

Unfortunately for many businesses on Bank Street, it’s the same story…

Disappointingly, insurers trying to do the right thing to help our local communities get back on their feet are few and far between.

After my chat with Kate, it’s clear that without people taking a degree of risk to purchase or open a business on the main street of Molong, the CBD would be non-existent. Future

MOLONG EXPRESS, Thursday 15 June 2023

j

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road.

He swerves to avoid hitting it, But unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.

Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.

A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.

She steps out of her car and asks the man what's wrong.

'I feel terrible,’! he explains, 'I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it.'

The blonde says, 'Don't worry.'

She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.

She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.

The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished.

He runs over to the woman and demands, 'What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?'

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

It says..

(Are you ready for this?)

(Are you sure?)

(This is bad!)

(OK, here it is) It says, 'Hair Spray - Restores life to dead hair, and adds permanent wave'.

A guy sits down in a diner and asks for a bowl of hot chili…

The waitress says, “Sorry, but the guy next to you got the last bowl”.

He looks over and sees that the guy’s finished his meal, but the bowl of chili is still full. He asks, “Are you going to eat that chili?”

The other guy says, “No. Help yourself”.

He slides the bowl of chili over and starts to eat. When he gets about half way down, his spoon hits something. He looks down, sees a dead mouse, and immediately vomits all the chili back into

The other guy says, “Yeah, that’s about as far as I got, too”.

Lucille decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00.

She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!"

The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use."

"But I didn't use them." ''Well, they are here, and you could have."

He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous.

"We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows.."

"Well, we have them, and you could have."

No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.

After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him.

The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00 "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me."

"But I didn't!"

"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

My mate Mick took 2 stuffed dogs to the Antiques Roadshow.

"Ooh!" said the presenter, "This is a very rare set, produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers taxidermists who operated in London at the turn of last century.

Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in good condition?" "...Sticks!" Mick replied...

Molong Golf

Sport

by the Ghost Walker Sunday of the long weekend saw twelve players at the Royal Molong Golf Course for what else but a twelve hole ambrose event. The frost was still on the ground in the shaded areas but the open fairways were clear of frost so we could see where our white golf ball went. Of course in some cases we weren’t on the fairway so we were looking for a white ball on white ground.

Balley and I were slow to get going and it took about five holes for us to get into the groove. Well Balley came good but I struggled for the whole twelve holes. Balley stated he might turn up early next week and play five holes to warm up before anyone else gets there. Yeah, we all believe him.

My golf swing is a bit like ironing a shirt. I get one side smoothed out, turn it over and there’s a big wrinkle on the other side. Then I iron that one out, turn it over and there’s yet another wrinkle and so on.

It turned out that Stubba won again. This time he was partnered by Rob who comes from Victoria and is staying at the showground caravan park. Rob plays off a low handicap of six and this was his first time playing sand greens. Stubba reckons Rob won it by himself and Stubba was just along for the ride.

Apparently Ged didn’t like his golf ball. He put it in the dam on the eleventh hole but was able to retrieve it. Next shot he put it back into the dam again. Just as well he had Bell to carry him.

Bro also had trouble but his problem was with the branch in front of the eighth tee. He hit the branch and the ball went back over his head and onto the seventh green from where he had just come from.

This is why these ambrose events are so much fun when someone goes into the dam or hits the branch and you have your golf partner to hopefully make a good shot. The partner sometimes stuffs up their shot as well so it’s laughs and a bit of stirring all round.

Six players plus Bell driving the golf cart had a hit on Monday morning playing a nine hole ambrose event. Stubba again teamed up with the best player, Quinney, and probably had the best score. Balley didn’t have a warmup but played pretty well. His partner again let him down.

Golf again on Sunday, 8.30am for 9am.

Anyone and everyone is more than welcome to join us.
