Alison Penfold succeeds Dr David Gillespie as Lyne MP
FROM Page 1
“It will be a great honour and privilege to represent the people of the Lyne electorate and I will do my very best as your representative in the federal parliament.”
Ms Penfold took 37.20 percent of first preference votes, with Mr Wilson trailing on
19.68 percent and Independent candidate Jeremy Miller claiming 15.84 percent.
All other candidates received less than 10 percent of the first preference vote.
Independent candidate Jeremy Miller congratulated Ms Penfold on her win.
“The people of Lyne have chosen you as our representative, and now we look to you to be our voice in Canberra - to listen, to engage, and to deliver real outcomes for our

Receiving around 16,000 first preference votes, Mr Miller believes his campaign sent a strong message to the major parties.
“While we didn’t quite get over the line this time, we have changed the political landscape in Lyne,” he said.
“The major parties now know they can’t take this community for granted.”

Thrive for Life Seniors’
Seminar: Your Ticket to a healthier, More Vibrant Life
Who says ageing means slowing down? If you think your best years are behind you, think again. Seniors today are rewriting the script – staying active, sharp, and independent well into their golden years.
But let’s be honest: all seniors reach a time when health and wellbeing become a concern, or at least a more important focus. On Saturday, May 24th a team of leading local health and wellbeing experts will gather to provide free advice for anyone determined to age on their own terms. Forget one-size-fits-all advice.
This seminar recognises that everyone’s needs are unique. Some may worry about the risk of falls or maintaining their independence, others juggle medication, and many are simply searching for ways to stay fit and active without risking injury. This free event offers four, 20-minute sessions to discuss these
concerns, offering actionable tips and real solutions. Session highlights include: Age Actively, Live Fully: Why settle for just more years when you can have more life in your years? Discover how movement-tailored to your abilities can boost energy, independence, and joy. Whether you’re manag-
ing a health issue or just want to keep up with the grandkids, this session delivers practical steps for a more vibrant daily routine.
Stay Steady, Stay Independent: Falls are a leading threat to senior independence, but they’re not inevitable. Learn how to strengthen your balance, spot hidden home hazards, and keep your footing—literally and figuratively.
Master Your Medications:
Modern medications can add years to your life but can also be risky if not properly managed and regularly reviewed. This session explains the importance of understanding what you are taking and offers a chance to arrange a personal medicine review with a local pharmacist, so you can take charge of your health.
Home Care, Your Way:
Is daily life getting trickier to manage? Most seniors want to remain living independently, however as we age, additional assistance with cleaning or personal care can really help. Former myHomecare Group CEO Andrew Mann will break down the basics of finding the right support, so you can stay safe and independent at home—without sacrificing comfort or dignity.
The Thrive for Life Seniors’ Seminar is being held at Blueheath Village in Medowie, so attendees can also tour brand-new, purpose-built
homes. See how smart design and a commitment to healthy, supported community living can make all the difference in daily life.
As David Kelly from Blueheath Village puts it, “We’re not just supporting health and wellbeing, we’re helping seniors enjoy the retirement they deserve, on their own terms. Whether they remain in their own home, or move into our new, purpose-built homes that have been designed to maximise mobility and minimise falls, all seniors can benefit from this seminar”
Ageing isn’t about fading into the background. It’s about living well, sharing stories, and embracing new adventures. The Blueheath ‘Thrive for Life’ Seminar is a one-day event on Saturday, May 24th from 11am to 2pm. The day is completely free and comes with a complimentary lunch, lucky door prizes, and tours of brand-new display homes. How to register
Tickets are limited. To book, please visit blueheath.com.au or call Adam on 0421 888 115.

10-year anniversary of devastating storms
By Thomas O’KEEFE
TEN years ago, on the evening of 20 April, a highly destructive East Coast Low (ECL) slammed into the coast just north of Hawks Nest causing damage in all directions.
Local observations saw wind gusts in excess of 145km/h, and rainfall exceeding 300mm within a 24-hour period.
Waves reached heights of 10m, and coastal erosion
worsened considerably.
The Myall Coast’s volunteer and professional emergency services were fully activated, working together on multiple fronts.
“Stroud SES members rescued three people trapped by falling trees and flying debris at Stewart and Lloyds campgrounds in the first hours,” recalls Stroud SES Deputy Commander Greg Snape.
“Then, with the support of the Pindimar/Tea Gardens RFS volunteers, they helped tenants at Hawks Nest Caravan Park gain shelter from gale-force winds and the resulting shrapnel from disintegrating caravans, annexes and other debris.”
The storm’s fury continued inland towards Stroud and Dungog, destroying houses in both townships.
The intensely concentrated rainfall trapped one person at the Stroud Showground while devastating flash flooding in Dungog claimed the lives of three people.
In Pindimar and North Arm Cove, high winds and heavy rain tore down trees,
Library upgrade set to begin
UPGRADE works for Tea Gardens Library will kick off mid-May 2025.
Works include a 97m² extension to provide a meeting and events space, an amenities upgrade, an access ramp upgrade, new carpet and self-serve technology.
“We are excited to upgrade the library facilities at Tea Gardens to
better meet the needs of the local community who love and use the space,” said Alex Mills, MidCoast Council’s Manager Libraries, Community and Cultural Services.
The library will close during the upgrade works for approximately five weeks from Thursday 24 July 2025.
There will be a temporary pop-up library in the Council Customer Service Point across the road from Tea Gardens
destroying more houses, sheds and commercial premises, blocking roads and bringing down powerlines.
A houseboat sank in Tea Gardens and the Argonaut fishing charter boat was damaged at its wharf.
“Failing communications networks and isolated communities increased the challenges to the SES who led the response to the unfolding disaster.
“Contractors were
employed by the SES to provide arborist and debris removal services.
“Over the following days and weeks, SES crews from the North Coast, Central Tablelands and New England were deployed to assist, while all other emergency services, as well as contractors, were employed in arborist and debris removals.
“By 23 April, the force of the storm had diminished, four persons had been killed
by its effects, over 250 homes were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by its fury, and stock losses and damage to rural properties mounted to a bill of over $1.08 billion dollars.”
The 2015 storm impacted a massive area, including the Hunter, Central Coast and Sydney Metro, with widespread flooding and power outages, and more than 40,000 people evacuated from over 40 towns in the Hunter Valley.
Library during the closure.
The pop-up library will have a small selection of titles to borrow and be available for reservation pick-up.
There will be no programs running during this time.
This project is funded by a Public Libraries Infrastructure Grant and State Library of NSW Local Special Projects Funding.
A small community donation was given to contribute to a new local history alcove in the library.
q The library will close during the upgrade works for approximately five weeks from Thursday 24 July 2025.
Fire station opens its doors
TEA Gardens Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is throwing open its doors for its annual Open Day on Saturday, 10 May 2025.
Tea Gardens Fire Station will be open from 10.00am to 2.00pm with a range of free activities including firefighting demonstrations, station tours and safety presentations.
Families can also see the fire trucks, firefighting and rescue equipment up close and chat to local firefighters about the simple steps they can take to lower fire risks.
FRNSW Captain James Wisemantel said the Open Day was an opportunity for firefighters to educate the community about the importance of having a
working smoke alarm, especially in the lead-up to winter.
“Each year around 20 people die in NSW from fires that could have been prevented, while hundreds more suffer life-changing health consequences,”
Captain Wisemantel said.
“Each death and injury is tragic for families, friends and the wider community.
“This year, we want you to prepare your homes early for winter.
“We see a 10 percent increase in the number of home fires during the cooler months, with more fires starting in bedrooms and loungerooms due to things like heaters and electric blankets.
“Now is the time to replace your smoke alarm if it is more than 10 years old.
“Remember, only working smoke alarms save lives.”
Captain Wisemantel said firefighters would also provide advice on lithium-ion batteries at the Open Day.
“Lithium-ion batteries can be found in many portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, e-bikes and e-scooters and although these devices make our lives easier, they have the potential to put us at risk,” he said.
“Lithium-ion batteries are the fastest growing fire risk in NSW so it is important for people to understand how to charge devices safely and what they can do if they catch fire.”

Resort residents support vital transport service
By Thomas O’KEEFE
RESIDENTS from across Palm Lake Resort Tea
Gardens pitched in to donate a significant sum to the local Free Clinic Bus charity, presented at a special Good Friday get-together in the Promenade on Friday, 18 April.
The donated funds, totalling $2030, were raised through a volunteer effort led by members of the Palm Lake Workshop in the village, who cleared out the garage of a recently-departed resident, Paul Greig.
“Workshop volunteers found a bunch of beautiful models, including some by Gordon Rowe, and opted
to sell them to Palm Lake residents, saying that they would donate the proceeds to a local cause, which we chose to be the Free Clinic Bus,” Workshop President Bob Peady told NOTA.
“It is a donation on behalf of Palm Lake Resort Tea Gardens residents and the Workshop, coordinated by the workshop and with permission of the Greig family.
“Inside Mr Greig's garage we found model ships, some useful items for the workshop, and decided to sell some things within the village and make a donation along with the sale of Gordon Rowe's stage coach.”
The funds were added to by the proceeds of a recent
sale to a Palm Lakes resident of one of Gordon Rowe’s beautiful models of a stage coach.
Jan Peeters, who accepted the donation on behalf of the Free Clinic Bus, said there are several volunteer drivers for the service among the Palm Lake Resort residents.
“Thank you very much to the residents for this donation and support, we have 22 drivers, 10 of whom are actually residents of Palm Lake, and one of our four coordinators is also a resident in the resort,” explained Jan.
“The Free Clinic Bus is a charity, which runs 100 percent on donations, volunteer drivers and coordinators, and helps

Scrap the tax
MY article published in NOTA 17/1/24 titled “Going Global” covered the so-called “luxury tax” on new vehicles.
This issue was again raised when discussing tax prior to the federal election.
As a long-time motoring buff, I’m strongly against that tax and have for many years tried to raise this issue with politicians.
However I’m also reminded of the
truism which states “if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving isn’t for you”.
Governments get hooked on the income provided by unrealistic taxes and therefore will not do anything positive to correct an illogical position.
In July of 2000 the Howard Government introduced the so-called “luxury car tax”.
It was introduced for the stated reason of protecting Australian built vehicles, mainly by General Motors and Ford, with the rider that it also protected the jobs of workers in the vehicle manufacturing industry, from price competition by imported vehicles of similar shape and design.
That tax is still in vogue today.
Even in 2025 this tax adds 33 percent to each dollar paid above the threshold of $80,567 for normally aspirated vehicles and $91,387 for so-called “fuel efficient vehicles” meaning hybrid or electric models.
So, the popular Toyota Landcruiser 300

DEAR Jasminda,
I AM someone who likes a firm handshake but some people in my social circle, and even at work seem to think it is acceptable to give me a hug or even a kiss.
How do I make my position clear without causing offence?
Alena P
Dear Alena,
THERE is nothing offensive about your desire to maintain personal boundaries and bodily autonomy. You should only accept what you feel comfortable with.
Some people are touchy feely and others aren't and that's ok, as long as each party understands the other's position.
I'm a bit of an awkward hugger and kisser and this can result in the even more uncomfortable situation where I turn the wrong way for a kiss on the cheek and end up in a semi-passionate
series is taxed an additional $5778.
In my view it is a huge stretch of credibility to call this vehicle a luxury model, for the purposes of taxation.
So why is this tax still necessary?
From observation, neither GM nor Ford are still building vehicles in Australia and Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Toyota have long gone from our shores too.
So how many auto workers’ jobs are now being protected by the luxury car tax?
I would have thought that no
embrace.
My advice to you is to make the first move and be firm about it.
If you're a handshaker, step forward with purpose and offer your hand.
Make sure the rest of your body is far away enough to avoid any unwanted cuddles.
Alternatively you can sneeze and/or cough/ and/or mention a nasty rash. That should keep your more amorous acquaintances at bay.
There will, unfortunately, still be people who don't pick up on not-sosubtle hints.
They may even try to make you feel bad by saying, 'You seem really uptight. I'm a hugger.'
To this, you could respond, 'Well, I'm a biter, so let's keep a comfortable distance for both our sakes.'
You could then throw in the line from Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal Lecter describes eating a census taker's liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Follow up with your best impression of Hannibal's slurping noise.
Let your eyes glaze over to add to the effect.
This should keep Nigel from accounts in his rightful place.
manufacturing would mean no jobs either.
The purpose of requiring this tax no longer exists, so why does it?
Just because the “tradie’s taxi” (4WD utes they use daily) might be fitted with leather seats, air conditioning and some electrical enhancements to make their time on the road safer and more comfortable, surely that doesn’t mean they and similar vehicles are luxury models.
Scrap the tax, I say.
Political opportunism and environmental hypocrisy
I WANT to call out the blatant hypocrisy and political opportunism driving the aggressive campaign against offshore wind projects in Port Stephens.
Opponents of offshore wind made alarmist claims about its potential impact on the marine environment, while at the same time aligning themselves with the Liberal Party, a party with a welldocumented record of inaction on climate
and environmental protection.
Sensing a political opportunity, the Liberal Party quickly amplified this opposition to secure votes in a marginal seat.
The “No Offshore Turbines Port Stephens” group rapidly mobilised local opposition to offshore wind by spreading misinformation eerily similar to U.S. MAGA-style disinformation tactics, falsely claiming wind farms kill whales and ruin the marine environment.
These narratives aren't grassroots, they're part of a broader, coordinated effort tied to fossil fuel interests.
This group’s links to Advance
Australia, a well-known disinformation outfit behind the “No” campaign against the Voice referendum, became clear when Sandra Bourke, a representative of Advance, supported local events distributing membership cards.
This mirrors global tactics used to erode public support for renewable energy and threatens the social licence critical for Australia's clean energy transition.
While offshore wind was an election issue in the seat of Paterson, it was clearly not a concern for voters, nor did it rate a mention, in the neighbouring seats of Newcastle, Hunter, or Shortland, demonstrating the Hunter region’s
Let us build ourselves a home
TODAY the Minns Government's announcement fast tracking to build 105,000 new homes across regional NSW.
I had to ask myself why-oh-why, today, did MidCoast Council identify their top three priorities as roads, financial sustainability and customer experience.
Not housing. Not tourism.
If MidCoast Council wants to fix its finances it should look to collaborate with neighbouring Port Stephens Council.
Our shared waters won a Top Tourism
Destination Award in March and Destination NSW sent a tourism trade envoy to the American Roadshow to market NSW as a world class visitor destination. This month, the ‘Sail Port Stephens’ event (April-May, 2025) will generate $2 million-plus from visitors over five weeks.
My rates contribute to $2 million of North Arm Cove’s collective input to Council’s coffers.
Council’s priorities are myopic.
We have no housing, no infrastructure and no interest from MidCoast Council.
Our location-location-location, developed
properly in collaboration with our neighbours, would nurse MidCoast Council out of the red and into the black.
Why-oh-why are they ignoring a shovel ready plan, a team of internationally award winning urban designers and 3000 landowners restricted to camping on their own land? (two consecutive nights over 60 days per year).
Let us build ourselves a home!
Regards, Nikki MILES, North Arm Cove.
support for the continued development of a clean energy future.
Democracy has spoken, and it’s time to put an end to the misinformation and environmental fearmongering surrounding offshore wind.
It’s time to move forward with a proper, fact-based assessment of the environmental and economic impacts of the Hunter offshore wind industry, ensuring the region can seize the opportunities of a clean energy future.
