We want you! Warren Fire + Rescue are recruiting, as local numbers dip By HARRIET GILMORE A CRITICAL shortage of local fire-fighters in Warren, is putting pressure on surrounding communities, with the recent launch of a recruitment drive by Fire and Rescue, hoping to attract new members to the team. Despite the very enticing pay and benefits on offer for On-Call Firefighters, Warren Fire and Rescue currently has only six members, instead of a full-staff quota of at least 12 for the unit. This means that, when there is an urgent need in the community, fi refighters are travelling from Dubbo, Trangie, Nyngan, Gilgandra, and even further afield, to support the Warren crew. “Firies” as they are commonly-known, are paid to undertake an array of duties, including fi re suppression, rescue, hazardous material response, community education, and fi re prevention activities.

Give our water back! Call by Coulton, mayors, producers By HARRIET GILMORE A R ANGE of stakeholders from the Macquarie Valley came-together last week to call on the Federal Government to return water to the region. Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, joined Warren Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley and Narromine Mayor, Cr Craig Davies; in a cry for help for local communities. Local primary producers, Macquarie River Food and Fibre (MRFF) — which represents more than 500 water-users from the district — also attended the press conference in Dubbo held last Tuesday, demanding action on the issue. The collective argues that almost 40 gigalitres of water has been “over-recovered” from the Macquarie-Castlereagh catchment. They are therefore calling for this water to be returned and not counted as part of the 450 gigalitres of environmental water that the Federal Government is trying to secure as part of the Murray Darling Basin Plan. The Productivity Commissions’ recently-released review of the Murray Darling

Basin Plan, endorsed amendments made to the original Plan by the Commonwealth , under the Restoring Our Rivers Act 2023. “The Productivity Commission report just further validates Labor’s plans to recover the 450 gigalitres of additional environmental water,” Mr Coulton said at the media event. “Water Minister, Tanya Plibersek, has indicated that she has no intention of returning over-recovered water back into production, which is very concerning for Basin communities in my electorate,” he added. The setting-aside of more water for environmental river flows, was hollowing-out local agricultural production, Mr Coulton claimed. “Communities in the northern Basin have already been gutted by water buybacks and the over-recovery of water,” he said. “They’ve done more than their fair share of the heavy lifting, and cannot afford to lose any more productive water — water that is used to grow the crops that help feed our country.” Continued page 3

A total of 150 participants across 15 tables helped raise more than $3500 for cancer research at the trivia night for Rachel Maclean and Kevin Dwyer’s entry.
IT’S not a very gentlemanly name, but it is an event that does a lot of good work! Last Saturday night, two locals hosted a trivia night attended by more than 150 supporters, so as to raise their required donation for their entry into the annual “Sh!$box Rally”. The fundraising event, hosted by Kevin Dwyer and Rachel Maclean, is all part and parcel of the tri-annual Rally’s dedication to raising much-needed funds to support cancer research. The trivia night on Saturday was a great success, helping raise more than $3500 for their entry. But that is only part of the entertainment. The event’s organisers, say that getting out and doing something unique, positive, and proactive, brings an element of fun and excitement to the task of raising money to cure this heart-breaking disease. After their trivia night triumph, Kevin and Rachel are now able to participate in the 2024 Winter Sh!$box Rally that is kicking-off in June. The six-day drive starts in Melbourne and ends-up all the way to Alice Springs in central Australia. Part of the fun is that all vehicles participating, must be real old jalopies! Kevin, Rachel, and all other entrants, must fi rst raise at least $5000 per car to enter; secondly, their car can’t be worth more than $1500, making for some real bombs being pushed to their limits with hilarious results.

Give our water back! Call by Coulton, mayors, producers
Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, (centre); joined MRFF Executive Officer, Michael Drum; Warren Mayor, Cr Milton Quigley; Narromine Mayor, Cr Craig Davies; and MRFF Chair, Stewart Dentson; in Dubbo to call for over-recovered water to be returned to the Macquarie Valley. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. From page 1 He added that an over-emphasis on the environmental targets of the plan, would decimate local producers and the communities that rely on them. “It’s going to be challenging enough for the Government to meet the Basin Plan’s unrealistic water-recovery targets through voluntary water buybacks,”Mr Coulton said. “So, I fear that any water that has already been over-recovered in the Macquarie Valley, will be used to help achieve that 450 gigalitres, much to the detriment of the Dubbo, Narromine, Warren, Trangie, and Cobar communities.” A total of 38.2 gigalitres has been over-recovered in the Macquarie-Castlereagh catchment as of December 31, 2023, which equates to approximately $90 million of lost production per year at the farm-gate alone, it is claimed. Macquarie River Food and Fibre Executive Officer, Michael Drum, also called on the Federal Government to engage with key stakeholders to commence the process of returning over-recovered water back to the Macquarie Valley, as intended under the original Murray Darling Basin Plan water recovery process. “We strongly oppose the re-purposing of any over-recovered water for other environmental programs, such as the 450 gigalitres of additional environmental water, for which it was never intended,” Mr Drum said. “Use of Macquarie water for those programs is effectively ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’, unduly burdening our communities to cover for the Government, which hasn’t made any progress towards actual efficiency projects to recover that 450 gigalitres,” he added. Hard-hit rural townships and producers were now being ex-
pected to pay for this failure through their own local economies, he claimed. “The Government is now looking to keep what should be returned to the communities of the Macquarie, to cover their shortfall. “Surely our communities have suffered enough. It’s time to correct the ledger,” Mr Drum said. Warren Mayor, Cr Quigley, said that communities in the Macquarie Valley have been effectively disadvantaged from day one of the Murray Darling Basin Plan. “We’ve already suffered through 10 years of over-recovery, which has been recognised by past Federal water ministers, the Murray Darling Basin Authority, and other agencies, which all agree the water needs to be returned,” Cr Quigley said. “It’s unfair and unreasonable that our small communities shoulder the burden for other valleys in the Murray Darling Basin that have not contributed their fair share to the Plan; why should our town’s economic and social viability, be put further at risk than could be reasonably expected?” he asked. Narromine Mayor, Cr Craig Davies said the Government needs to consider the impact that this foregone water, has on the livelihood of towns like Narromine and Warren. “Prior to the recent amendments, the Basin Plan set equitable targets based on sound socio-economic tests,” Cr Davies said. “Retention or repurposing over-recovered water from the Macquarie by the Federal Government fails those tests on all measures; the inequity of this situation must be resolved immediately to stop the decade-long economic hardship felt by our communities,” he concluded.

We want you! Warren Fire + Rescue are recruiting, as local numbers dip FAITH MATTERS Preparing for the resurrection
Warren Fire and Rescue are looking for new recruit with Captain Renee Scott only one of six current on-call firefighters in town. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.
By SHIRLEY TODDHUNTER THIS is the season of Lent. For hundreds of years the church has set aside the six weeks before Easter as the Lenten Season. Originally this pre-Easter fast lasted only a few days, but by the fourth century a forty-day period (it does not include Sundays) had been established. This season gives us an opportunity to reflect on the central message of the Christian faith; that the life, death, and resurrection of the Son of God are his atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. This what makes Christianity what it is. Lent is a wonderful time for us to prepare for the joy of the Easter resurrection by searching our hearts for those hurts we have not forgiven. A time to ask forgiveness for our failure to forgive those who have caused those hurts. A time to restore a lost friendship, to mend a broken relationship so that we may go on with hope in our hearts. At peace with God. Look around. Do you see a lost friendship? A broken relationship? It isn’t easy to make the first overture towards renewing that friendship or mending that broken relationship and sometimes your efforts will be in vain, but the resulting peace that fills your heart because you’ve made the effort will make it worthwhile.

From page 1 Fire and Rescue NSW’s West Area Command Recruitment Coordinator, Wade Haines, said that these parttime, on-call, positions are a great opportunity for those who may want some extra cash, while also helping their local community; with the hours not as extensive as one may think. “Warren crews responded to just 57 incidents last financial year,” Wade revealed. “Crews might go a couple of weeks without a call, and then they might get two or three within a week, there’s no set pattern to it, it’s just the way it is,” he added. As well as emergency responses, the team also go-out to childcare facilities and primary schools for educational programs, as well as performing at-home fire safety checks for the community — all of which a recruit is paid to do. “A recruit on-call f iref ighter in Warren is paid a fortnightly ‘retainer’ of $78.28, as well as an hourly rate of $37.29 for attending incidents, training, and drills,” Wade explained. “They also receive paid leave entitlements, including annual leave, sick and long-service leave, and employer contributions to superannuation,” he said. These numbers, he said, are only the base rate for fi refighters. “This rate increases with rank, as recruits progress. A Fire and Rescue Captain, can make as much as $46.40 an hour!”
Fire and Rescue is also a registered training organisation, with the qualifications earnt, not only benefiting Fire and Rescue. “Every certificate and training that you do here is paid for, but it’s also nationally-recognised, so it can benefit you in your primary employment,” Wade said. “For local employers that are looking at letting their staff go and join Fire and Rescue, a lot of those certificates and training can be transferred over, like ‘fi rst aid’, ‘chainsaw’, ‘basic life support’, and ‘truck licence’, just to name a few,” Wade said. Benefits though include not just the critical training that is on offer to the crews, but also the invaluable sense of doing something important for others. “Firies and their families are entitled to five free counselling sessions a year, and free tickets to the Dubbo and Sydney Zoo. “I believe that helping the community is the most rewarding part of the role, and the culture in the fi refighting community is beneficial,” Wade said. The crews also develop a strong sense of camaraderie and belonging, he added. “Fire brigade, in general, is a tight community. “It doesn’t matter where you go, you make lifelong friends,” Wade said. To become a retained fighter, you need to be 17 years or older, and ‘reasonably fit and healthy’, as assessed through a medical and fitness assessment. “There is a physical aptitude test
that you do as part of your recruitment, which is just basic stuff that simulates what you do as a fi refighter,” Wade explained. “Warren is lucky enough to have firefighters available 24/7, however, the crew can roster themselves when it’s convenient to them, meaning you personally aren’t on call 24/7,” he added. There are minimum weekly hour requirements, and call-out and training attendance requirements, but Wade believes, the benefits outweigh the requirements. The flexible hours of on-call fi ries also mean the positions could be a suitable source of income for many. “Warren Fire and Rescue is open to all members of the community — however, you must be 17 or older and have your provisional licence at the least. “The position would suit school-leavers on their gap year who aren’t sure what they want to do and want to earn a bit of extra money or uni students, while they’re studying online,” Wade suggested. “It would also suit stay-at-home parents whose kids are at school from 8.30 until 3,30; if they can cover those gaps when the kids are at school, that’d be a big help for the Warren crew,” Wade concluded. If you’re interested in becoming a retained fi refighter or just want to get some more information, see the advertisement on this page.
Join the team who are prepared for anything Comprehensive training is provided for all on-call firefighters, covering all aspects of the work involved to keep your community safe. You’ll need to:

INSTALLATION crews were in town last Tuesday for successful completion of a major local sporting project; replacing the two-decade-old lights at Victoria Oval. While the work was expected to take up to 10 days to finalise, the whole project was completed in just three.

The more than $250,000 upgrade is expected to not only improve the quality, reliability, and longevity, of the lighting at Warren’s main sporting oval, but the new fittings are also more energy-efficient.

The home at 196 Dubbo Street suffered significant damage. PHOTO: WARREN STAR. By HARRIET GILMORE A HOUSE in south Warren has been destroyed after a fi re broke out in the early hours of Sunday morning. Crews from Warren Fire and Rescue arrived on the scene at the 196 Dubbo Street property just before 2am to fi nd a single-story home well-alight towards the back of the house. A spokesperson from Fire and Rescue NSW, said that fi refighters entered the home with lines of hose and attacked the fi re. “Due to the development of the fi re, structural collapse of the roof began to occur, and fi refighters were forced
to fight the fi re externally,” the spokesperson said. “Weather conditions exacerbated the fi refighting effort with embers from erratic winds threatening neighbouring properties; fi refighters worked to prevent spread to those properties using a number of hoselines for a number of hours,” they added. Local crews were supported by both Trangie Fire and Rescue crews as well as the Warren Rural Fire Service, with the crews managing to bring the blaze under control by about 4am. The home suffered significant damage and the cause of the blaze is not yet known.
The spokesperson from Fire and Rescue NSW, said investigations are still underway. Warren Fire and Rescue said in a post on their Facebook page, the blaze serves as a timely-reminder to check your smoke alarms and also to remember, when large incidents like these are occurring in your community, make sure you stay clear of the scene for your own safety and to also let all the emergency services do their job safely. There were no reports of injuries from the fire and no-one was believed to be in the house at the time of the blaze.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK ral Member Federal arkes for Parkes
Call for over-recovered water to be returned FEDERAL Water Minister, Tanya Plibersek, has recently indicated that she has no intention of returning over-recovered water from the Murray-Darling Basin back into production, which is very concerning for Basin communities in my electorate. It’s going to be challenging enough for the Government to meet the Basin Plan’s unrealistic water-recovery targets through voluntary water buybacks, so I fear that any water that has already been over-recovered in the northern Basin, will be used to help achieve that 450GL, much to the detriment of communities throughout the Gwydir, Namoi, Macquarie-Castlereagh, and Barwon-Darling catchments. Last week, I joined with the mayors of Warren and Narromine, as well as Macquarie River Food and Fibre, to call on the Federal Government to return over-recovered water to the Macquarie Valley. A total of 38.2 gigalitres has been over-recovered in the Macquarie-Castlereagh catchment, which equates to approximately $90 million of lost production per year at the farm-gate. These communities have already done more than their fair share of the heavy-lifting, so it’s time that
water is returned.
Funding for Dubbo poet to publish book LAST week, I had the pleasure of meeting Dubbo author Paulette (Poli) Sansey, to hear all about her book of poetry and art, “Into the Moonlit Village — The Battle of Crete”, which is a collaboration with artist Michael Winters. The book is about the Battle of Crete which occurred in 1941 during World War II, resulting in a four-year occupation of the Greek island by Nazi German soldiers. Australian soldiers played a critical role during the battle and occupation, and this book is a way of honouring them, as well as the local resistance effort, of which Poli’s own family were a part of. In fact, her grandfather was tragically executed and the family home was dynamited in 1944 as part of a reprisal campaign mounted by the Nazis. Poli grew-up hearing stories of the war and occupation from her mother who was a child at the time, so it has been a long-held ambition of hers to work on a book of this kind. I’m pleased that Poli’s book will now be able to be published, thanks to a $7624 grant provided under the Saluting Their Service (STS) Commemorative Grants Program. Applications for the next batch of STS grants are currently open until June 20.

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton (centre) catching-up with the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association of NSW President, Tanya Mitchell, and Vice-President and Tertiary Convener, Robin Beckwith, at the ICPA NSW’s 52nd Annual State Conference in Dubbo.
Catching up with constituents IT was wonderful to catchup with lots of constituents last week at various functions, including a Nationals branch get-together in Dubbo with Senator Perin Davies and State Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, and the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association of NSW 52nd Annual State Conference in Dubbo. I also visited the newly-refurbished Lumus Imaging in Dubbo, and also had the pleasure of catching-up with some of my former constituents at the 15th anniversary
of the Wellington Men’s Shed. I opened the Wellington Men’s Shed 15 years ago, and helped secure their new shed from a donation from the Australian Army (back when Wellington was still in the Parkes electorate), so it was wonderful to return and catch-up with the men, having played such a big role in their establishment.

Fungus to help fight a thorny African problem
Dr Ben Gooden from the CSIRO addressing locals on biocontrol methods Almost 100 local producers, farmers, and contractors attended an event hosted by the for African boxthorn. PHOTOS: WARREN STAR. Local Land Services at the Racecourse. By HARRIET GILMORE BIOCONTROL is now almost always the preferable means of reducing the impact of introduced pest species. With that in mind, a good crowd of about 100 farmers, contractors, and other interested locals from across the district, came together last Wednesday to learn about plans to control a pesky weed with a fungus. The event also heard from local experts and scientists on two other vexing agricultural issues, Imported Fire Ants, and toxic weeds and livestock. First-up though, was the issue of African boxthorn ((Lycium ferocissimum); the latest weed to be targeted with biocontrol measures. The release of the biocontrol measure, was approved after extensive testing identified a specific rust fungus, Puccinia Rapipes, as effective in reducing overall plant growth and the reproductive output of the species. Once used as a beautiful hedge plant, African boxthorn was fi rst brought to Australia from South Africa in the mid-
1800s. Since then, however, it has spread from around old homesteads and urban areas, and is now common across well-drained soils of the western slopes and plains. Considered a weed of national significance, African boxthorn is a hazard to both humans and stock. It is poisonous and its large thorns can injure livestock and prevent them from accessing shade around trees. It also provides shelter and food for introduced species such as foxes, rabbits, and starlings, and is also a host for pest insects including fruit fly, tomato fly, and the house fly. Extensive testing by the CSIRO, found the rust fungus posed no threat to native or ornamental vegetation, but was extremely effective at infecting African boxthorn and, overtime — not killing the plant itself — reducing its spread and growth. The CSRIO is currently looking for landowner candidates to take part in initial fungus release of the fungus and to monitor the success of the program.
CSIRO Weed Manager, Dr Ben Gooden, who spoke at the Local Land Services event in Warren last week, said the control methods were specifically targeted to areas where African boxthorn cannot be managed by chemical or mechanical control methods. This would include areas such as creek and river beds, among dense tree lines, on shared or public land areas; and in places that are difficult to target. These locations typically contribute to the re-infestation of this “weed of national significance” because they are in areas that farmers and other landowners have trouble accessing for control. Dr Gooden said the fungus may not be for everyone and was a long-term plan to reduce the plant’s vigour and spread, but those that were interested in participating in the program, should fi rst reach-out to the CSIRO. As well as hearing from Dr Gooden on the biocontrol for African boxthorn, the event also included an address by the Emergency Coordination Manager for Imported
LLS Vet Dr Danielle Plummer chats to local producers about toxic weeds for livestock.
Fire Ants, Tristan Cameron; and the Nyngan-based Local Land Services (LLS) Vet, Danielle Plummer, on toxic weeds and livestock. Mr Cameron outlined control methods currently in place through eastern Australia to help contain the current outbreak of Fire Ants in Queensland, which poses a significant risk to agriculture. “Detection and preparedness is key for the fi ght of Fire Ants down here,” Mr Cameron said. His office in Dubbo has received five samples of ants from concerned community members recently but, thankfully, none have been of the Imported Fire Ants. The current Biosecurity Order restricts the movement of fodder and feed from Queensland aiming to help prevent an outbreak of the devastating pest, and Mr Cameron said it was important that all local producers were aware of the restrictions and continued to monitor the issue locally. Dr Plummer in her presentation then said that poisonous plants cause more
than $100 million in damages to livestock every year so it was important that producers remained aware of risks in their areas. She said the main plants locals should be mindful of currently include: f Hairy panic f Heliotrope f Cowpea Aphids (bug) on loosen pasture f Tribulus spp. f Green cestrum f Polioencephalomalicia (PEM) Dr Plummer also said she has been seeing a number of cases of humpy back in sheep recently, but they aren’t certain what has been causing it. She therefore called for local producers to reach-out if they experience any such cases so that the LLS can help establish the cause. Other illness currently on the increase in the area, she said, include Barber’s pole in sheep and goats, and pink-eye and bovine ephemeral fever in cattle.
Funding available for arts, culture projects in the bush By HARRIET GILMORE FUNDING support for arts and cultural programs happening this year in Warren and the surrounding districts, is available now. Outback Arts and Create NSW are offering grants of up to $3000 to support creative and vibrant projects that ar4e being held from May 1, throughout regional NSW. The Country Arts Support Program (CASP) applications are due in early April and are available for activities including workshops, exhibitions, performances, artist-in-residence programs, and public art and design projects, Outback Arts Executive Director, Jamie-Lea Trindall said. “CASP is a significant annual investment directly into our region,” she explained. This year, we are hoping to see exciting new projects that celebrate and engage our remote communities.” Last year, Outback Arts handed-out almost $20,000 in
CASP grants, including $3000 to Warren’s Art’s Council to help fund the return of live theatre to town. The backing supported the much-acclaimed climate-inspired production of the “The End of Winter” last October. Other successful CASP funded projects last year included the production and launch of podcasts, performance development and presentation, creative skill workshops in painting and clay sculptures, jewellery making, natural foliage bouquet construction from local bushland, public artwork, and local history being captured in artistic displays. This long-running funding program is all about giving regional people access to a diverse range of cultural programs each year and bringing opportunities that may otherwise not be available. Interested applicants are encouraged to reach out to Outback Arts to discuss their projects before applying.

By HARRIET GILMORE A SHOWER of rain last Thursday morning didn’t dampen the spirits of more than 60 local ladies who came together at Ellerslie Lane to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD). A record-breaking 60 coffees were pumped-out in just 20 minutes by the girls to go with delicious barbecued bacon-and-egg rolls before the joyous crowd took a seat to hear from the effervescent speakers, Frances Evans and Grace Brennan. Ellerslie Lane owner, Bonnie Storer, said that she was incredibly proud to live in our “little levee bank town”. “How lucky are we, to be surrounded by such intelligent, tenacious, ambitious women who set such a fine example of what it means to be a chick in the bush?” Bonnie asked. “Let’s keep getting together, sharing stories, and lifting each other up,” she added. Honourable mention also went to the two inspiring speakers at the event. “Special thank you to the effervescent Frances Evans — you’re a bloody goer, Fran, and we love you. “And to Grace Brennan, who has connected bush and city women in an extraordinary way; it was a gift we didn’t know we needed,” Bonnie enthused. Frances, together with Bon-
nie and musician and patriarch of the Storer family, Greg Storer performed an original song at the event, written by Frances and Greg. The song, which drew many raucous laughs from the crowd, was a tongue-in-cheek rendition of the many tasks women juggle every day, highlighting that it’s okay to have a bad day, but everyone must “grab life by the ba!!$” and try to enjoy the good parts, while supporting one and other. Bonnie said she surprisingly found herself quite emotional at the breakfast event, and couldn’t quite work out why. “Maybe it was the music, it was bloody empowering,” she guessed. For the event, Grace Brennan also read a poem, entitled “Count Her In”, which she wrote especially for the breakfast. A full copy of the poem is included in this issue of the Warren Star, but Grace said it tells the story about women she knows. An impromptu panel discussion, featuring Kath Barnett, Amouse Ramsey, Milse Simmons, and Marguerite Wyatt, also kept the ladies of Warren entertained, with the panel discussing their childhood dreams, how they thought we should be investing in women, and what they wish for their daughters. Note: A special “thank-you”
from the Warren Star to Allison Ruskin Rowe, for help with photos from the IWD breakfast.
Count Her In — A poem by GRACE BRENNAN “THERE’S a woman at her kitchen table. She’s got an idea and it’s getting in the way. It won’t leave her alone. This dream. But the bath is running. And the mince is burning. There’s a woman at a kitchen table on the phone. Her pen is writing numbers on a piece of paper. Dates. Phone numbers. Duties. She can do it. Yep, ‘count her in’. She’d love to help. There’s a woman at a kitchen table listening. There’s a woman at her kitchen table with a suggestion. Something they haven’t thought of. She might need to speak up. There’s a woman at the kitchen table wondering what if. There’s a woman who thinks she might. A woman who knows there’s a time for everything. And now’s not the time. There’s a woman at her kitchen table calculating needs. Planning a response. Measuring success. Rarely celebrating the wins.
Guest speakers, Grace Brennan and Frances Evans with Ellerslie Lane owner and organiser of the IWD breakfast, Bonnie Storer (centre).
There’s a woman sending messages. How are you feeling? How did you go? Thinking of you. Can I do anything? What can I bring? There’s a woman at a kitchen table searching for space among the folded washing to place her cup of tea. There’s a woman waiting for permission. Smiling and nodding. A woman hoping she’ll get the nudge. A woman wishing someone would notice. Now, there’s a woman changing. A woman who knows she can. And a woman who does. The washing waits. The dinner spoils. ‘Count me in’, she says.”
Fast facts: Women in agriculture WOMEN are increasingly staking their claim in the agricultural sector, with more than 88,000 women working in agriculture in 2023. Celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) Deputy Secretary Tess Bishop said women account for more than a third of the agricultural workforce, making significant yet often unrecognised contributions to businesses and communities across Australia.
“Women have long played a vital role in agriculture and have often been overlooked. [International Women’s Day] is about celebrating and recognising the diversity of our sector and the key role women hold now and for future growth,” Ms Bishop said. “An increasing number of women are achieving qualifications in agriculture, including agricultural science, animal husbandry and wool science.” Here are some fast facts from DAFF about women in agriculture: f From 2016 to 2021, the number of women employed in agriculture grew by 7,105 workers, representing almost two-thirds (66 per cent) of the overall expansion in the agricultural industry. f Sheep, beef cattle and grain farming accounted for 42 per cent of women working in the agricultural sector. f According to the latest Australian Census, 48 per cent of women working in agriculture were employed as managers in 2021, down from 52 per cent in 2016. However, their number still increased between 2016 (37,787 female managers) and 2021 (38,275 female managers). f DAFF’s gender balance for women on portfolio boards is 48 per cent, with 52 per cent held by men.

Grand-stand finish secures Marthaguy’s big game spot By DOUG FREETH
A job well done: Marthaguy secure their spot in the grand final after a grand-stand finish against Coonamble. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.
He’s out! Marthaguy’s Harry Gaynor dismisses Coonamble captain, Tyne Chapman.
The tables start to turn… Marthaguy celebrates Harry Gaynor’s dismissal of Coonamble captain, Tyne Chapman.
AFTER wrapping-up their second consecutive minor premiership after a forfeit from Gulargambone last week, Marthaguy hosted the major semi-fi nal on Saturday against Coonamble. Having lost their last three games to Coonamble — including the knockout semi-fi nal last year— Marthaguy were keen to hit back against their new rivals. This was going to be a tough ask, however, after only qualifying 16 eligible players due to a number of forfeits and washouts hindering multiple players reaching the required three games played. With five players unavailable, there were therefore no tough selection calls to be made, and the team was set. Captain Andrew Freeth’s good fortune with the toss continued, and Marthaguy batted fi rst. Coonamble openers bowled well, and runs were hard to score and, In the fi fth over, Mark Glasson fell to have Marthaguy at only 1/3. James Glasson then joined Andrew at the crease, and they dug-in, reaching 13 runs after 10 overs. With the change of bowlers, runs began to flow and, by fi rst drinks, Marthaguy had moved to 1/33. James and Andrew continued to score at ease until, in the 20th over, Andrew (20) was bowled with the score on 53. Marthaguy lost five more wickets in the next six overs, with John McKay, Ritchie Flinn, Hugh Maunder, and Doug Freeth all falling cheaply, along with the big wicket of James Glasson (32) to have Marthaguy reeling at 7/66. Some cautious batting by Hugh Duncan and Harry Gaynor stabilised the innings before the two began to punish the bad balls. The two put on 49, before Harry (13) fell with five overs to go. Mick George followed shortly after to have Marthaguy nine for 116 with four overs left in the innings. Hugh Duncan then worked the strike well and hit big late, ably-assisted by Col Irving, to push the score to 133 before Hugh (53) fell in the last over. Marthaguy were all-out 133. A brilliant fightback anchored by Hugh after the mid-order collapse. As always, Coonamble went
hard early, taking six runs from the fi rst two balls, before danger-man Mark Stewart edged one off Doug Freeth to the keeper. With Mark gone, the scoring dropped, but some inconsistent bowling by Marthaguy openers, allowed Coonamble to make it to the fi rst drinks at 15 overs on a run rate to win the match at 1/45. Some better bowling by Hugh Duncan and James Glasson slowed the scoring dramatically, before fi nally, in the 22nd over with the score on 50, Hugh had the Coonamble fi rst-drop caught for 24. Hugh picked up two more quick wickets in the next four overs to really bring the game back into the balance. Coonamble skipper, Tyne, who had rescued his team in the past two games against Marthaguy, looked to hit his team out of trouble. He managed to take the score to 76 before Harry Gaynor had him caught behind for 17. James Glasson picked-up the other danger man in the next over and Marthaguy felt back on top with Coonamble at 6/81. Coonamble fought hard late in the innings and moved to 106, before a brilliant run-out by Mark Glasson, who only had one stump to aim at, threw it down. Coonamble batter, Rob Heinrich was hitting big and had his team close to victory at 122, before he was trapped in front by Doug Freeth to set up a grandstand fi nish. It came down to Coonamble needing just 12 runs and Marthaguy two wickets. Hugh Maunder picked-up the ninth wicket with the score on 124. A boundary by Coonamble got them within one shot of victory, before Johny McKay bowled the fi nal batter with the score on 129, putting Marthaguy through to the grand fi nal. It was an inconsistent performance as a whole by Marthaguy, but some great individual performances with both bat and ball by Hugh Duncan and James Glasson shone through. Marthaguy now has a week-off before the grand fi nal in Gilgandra in two weeks. Finally, a big congratulations to Marthaguy star middle-order batter, Dave Jenkins, and his new wife, Frankie, who tied the knot on the weekend. The whole team wishes you all the best for your future together.

Bush Chooks take on the Big Smoke!
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.
Contributed OVER the weekend, the Macquarie Emus Junior Rugby Club embarked on what could only be described as the trip of a lifetime to Sydney to see the inner workings of Super Rugby franchise, the NSW Waratahs. The journey would see more than 30 mighty Emu kids and some very brave parents embark from the Warren Post office at 7am on Friday morning with further pickups along the way at Trangie, Dubbo and fi nally at Orange. After a high-performance lunch meal of Macca’s, Hungry Jacks and Red Rooster in Lithgow, the group set off on the fi nal leg and home stretch of the long voyage to Sydney. Obviously fresh off a viewing of Days of Thunder or Talledega nights, the Bus driver confused the coach for NASCAR halfway up Mount Victoria before hearing a very worrying ‘pop’ out of the engine bay
followed by a very dark plume of dark smoke which no doubt had some Blue Mountains residents on high alert. Undeterred, two of the fi nest bush mechanics west of Trangie, Soldier McCormack and Ben Smith set to work with a fistful of zip ties, some garden hose and a short bit of wire and 20 minutes later the bus was back on the road! The party arrived at the YHA in The Rocks, mid-afternoon and after a quick check in the Emus were on the way to Allianz Stadium to watch the NSW Waratahs take on the Highlanders. The team was greeted by Michael Doyle from the NSW Waratahs who kindly gave the group a tour through the very impressive facilities at Rugby AU headquarters followed by a walk through the Waratahs changerooms and then onto the field at Allianz. The kids then participated in a match against a team from Manly and from all the Emu
kids accounts, the bush kids handsomely taught them a lesson in how to play the game they play in Heaven! Post-game, the kids were elated to clap both Super Rugby teams onto the field which will be something that they’ll never forget. Unfortunately, the home team was ultimately pipped at the end, falling 23-21 in a great game of Rugby. The Waratah players led by central west alumni Ned Hanigan, who originally hails from Coonamble, were very gracious in coming over and signing what seemed to be hundreds of autographs and gifting a few lucky recipients some match worn socks. It’s understood, much to one parent’s horror, that one of these was worn to bed that night! With day one in the books, the Emus once again boarded the bus and headed out to NSW Rugby HQ for a delve into the Waratahs brains trust and have a training session them-
selves once again led by the very generous Michael Doyle. After lunch it was over the coat hanger and off to Luna Park for the afternoon. Fortunately for the parents the kids were very easy to spot in their unique Nutrien team shirts which made the ‘herding cats’ exercise a lot easier than what it could have been. Once the kids had had their share of fun and the adults’ feet were about to pack it in, a quick dash across the harbour on the ferry was in order to wind up the day. A barbecue dinner and some well deserved cool drinks were in order to fi nish off the day on top of the rooftop at the YHA, encompassing a magnificent view of the Harbour and city Skyline. Like all things in life, all good things must come to an end! With the sun at their backs, the weary Emus made the arduous journey westward back across the mountains back to their homes at
Trangie, Nevertire, Tottenham and Warren. A magnificent trip was had by all! It must be said that this trip would not have been possibly without the efforts of Club Stalwarts Bec and Andrew Austin. They put together an awesome itinerary and everything came off like clockwork! Bec was able to source a community grant through Australian Grain Technologies (AGT) which greatly subsidised the cost of the trip and which ultimately made it possible. So, a big thanks to AGT and also to the Warren and Trangie Rugby Clubs for also contributing to the trip. No doubt these little kids will aspire to pulling on either a Pumas, Tigers or even Waratahs jersey after this trip! Please keep an eye on the Socials for all things Macquarie Emus and we are looking forward to another amazing year of Junior Rugby! The Bush Chook
