MORE TO LOVE The editor’s desk As our region grapples with what some are calling the worst drought since the mid-1960s, it's perhaps timely to turn out attention to the issue of our longterm water security (see our cover story on pages 4 and 5).

Dams have always been political hot potatoes, even before the rise of environmental activism.

A lot of Warwick people believe Leslie Dam is in the wrong place and to some extent they are right, but it's a reflection of past community debates and tensions over water storage.

It may well be time to seriously look again at a proposal dating back at least to the 1930s - that of a dam at Elbow Valley on the Condamine River east of Warwick, which would have both irrigation and flood mitigation benefits.

Likewise, the push for a new dam for Stanthorpe - at Emu Swamp on the Severn River - continues in earnest.

And even if the Southern Downs Regional Council won't support Emu Swamp, surely it's worth looking at the option of raising Storm King Dam, which has never been fully explored.

It was only a few short years ago - in 2007 - that the council was seriously considering trucking water from Leslie Dam to Storm King.

As a community we need to keep an open mind about all the options. If the current rainfall situation doesn't spur action, what will?

CARVERY STAFF LEFT IN THE DARK

BY JEREMY SOLLARS Former staff of the now-closed Rose City Carvery are appealing to Fair Work Australia in an attempt to recover their entitlements - as well as looking for new jobs - after the popular eatery closed without warning last week.

Staff were not told the business was closing and a group of them who happened to be in Rose City Shoppingworld last Wednesday night, 4 July, were shocked to see the owner dismantling the premises.

Other staff found out on Thursday morning when they turned up for work.

An ex-employee who spoke to the Free Times said the discovery was

"heartbreaking".

"A group of about seven of us were on our way to the movies about 7pm and were just ducking into Woolworths when we noticed the lights were on (in the carvery)," she said.

"We went over there and found (the owner) packing everything up and pulling everything apart, along with his son-in-law and a friend.

"We asked him what was going on and he just said, 'We're closing up, no work tomorrow', and that he'd try and pay us cash in hand for the week."

The former employee said the carvery had "always been busy" since re-opening after a four-month closure for renovations

as part of the $40 million Rose City Shoppingworld redevelopment.

A spokesman for Rose City Shoppingworld owner the McConaghy Group said the company "had been in negotiations with Rose City Carvery for a period of time in regard to a breach of its lease agreement".

"No notice had been provided to centre management by the tenant that they were vacating and McConaghy Group were surprised to find that they had fled the premises during Wednesday evening," the spokesman said.

"Rose City Carvery had been one of the most popular food operators in the centre.

"The expansion of Rose City

Shoppingworld has been received very favourably and McConaghy Group is pleased with customer traffic to the centre and has been receiving positive feedback from centre retailers."

The Free Times sought comment from the owners of Rose City Carvery, Neil and Helena Parfitt, but none had been received by time of printing this week.

The Bread Factory adjacent to Coles remains closed despite opening in April shortly after the new Coles supermarket opened its doors.

Several other new businesses are due to open in the centre in the coming weeks and months including a new café. ●

HUNT ON FOR ARSONIST

BY JEREMY SOLLARS Police are hunting for an arsonist believed to be responsible for a series of bushfires in the Dalveen area, one of which came close to threatening a local residence.

On Thursday 7 June and on the weekend of 16-17 June rural fire crews attended fires on private property at Tunnel Road at Dalveen, and a fire on O'Keefe's Road on the weekend of 25-26 June.

All the fires involved stacks of timber believed to have been set alight by a person or persons unknown.

In the case of the O'Keefe's Road fire 10 acres were burnt and flames almost reached a hayshed on the property, and rural firefighters have said with a change of wind direction the home on the property may have been under threat, along with

neighbouring properties.

The arson activity is particularly troubling due to the tinder-dry conditions across the region, with both the Warwick and Stanthorpe areas identified by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services as the prime bushfire 'hot spots' on the Darling Downs this year.

The bushfire season 'officially' starts in August but as reported last week in the Free Times volunteer rural fire crews are already on high alert.

Dalveen residents are being urged to report any suspicious behaviour or unfamiliar vehicles in the area to the police - call Crime Stoppers anonymously 24 hours a day on 1800 333 000.

TIME TO SAY

'DAM IT' Looking to the heavens: Ed Kemp believes the region’s long-term water ‘big picture’ is being overlooked.

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

A

s the region looks to the skies during what some are calling the worst drought since 1965, calls continue for governments at all levels to address the issue of long-term water security for the Southern Downs and Granite Belt.

A renewed push for a new dam for Stanthorpe - at Emu Swamp on the Severn River - is being driven by the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce.

But with Warwick's Leslie Dam sitting at just over 10 per cent of full capacity this week talk of a new dam at this end of the region has also been renewed.

The Free Times caught up with local identity Ed Kemp, who in his role as secretary and treasurer of the Warwick District Recreational Fish Stocking Association spends a fair bit of time out at Leslie Dam. He is firmly of the belief that despite the low level of the dam there's no reason for Warwick residents to panic about the urban

water supply running out any time soon.

But he has some equally strong views about what our politicians should be looking at when it comes to water, both for town and farming use.

"I think with prudent management including a higher level of water restrictions - there's probably three years' worth of water in Leslie Dam for urban use," Ed said.

"Obviously the downstream irrigators are going to struggle to get their allocations for now and that's why we should be again looking at a dam at Elbow Valley on the Condamine.

"The benefits for irrigators would be huge and a dam out there would also have huge flood mitigation benefits for Warwick.

"Landowners would need to be fairly and adequately compensated and maybe now, when we're in drought, is the time to start looking at acquiring properties.

"I'd also like to see the option of raising the level of (Stanthorpe's) Storm King Dam, which could be a viable alternative to a new dam down there.

"All these things have been talked about for years but nothing has been looked at seriously, which I think needs to change."

A dam at Elbow Valley east of Warwick was first proposed back in the 1930s and test holes were bored in the vicinity of Craikes Road decades ago, but the plan has sat on the drawing board ever since.

Ed Kemp acknowledges the area is prime farming land, but like many in the community he worries about a lack of action in the political sphere to shore up the region's water supplies. ●

DAM IDEA NOT NEW Like the Elbow Valley option for Warwick, the idea of a new dam at Emu Swamp southwest of Stanthorpe isn't exactly new.

A myriad of environmental and hydrological studies and business cases have been compiled on Emu Swamp over the past couple of decades and it seems no closer to reality.

But the Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce - the current dam

'proponent' - remains determined to turn the dream into a reality, particularly after the Southern Downs Regional Council effectively washed its hands of the project.

In simple terms, the concept for the Emu Swamp Dam is primarily as a water supply for agriculture, with a backup allocation for urban water use in times of extreme drought, if Storm King Dam were to run dry.

The Chamber is currently compiling a fresh business case to take to the Queensland Government which, if it accepts the business case is viable, would in turn make a recommendation to the Federal Government to fund the project, which has a current construction cost of $60 million, including a pipeline network to carry the water to producers across the Granite Belt.

Chamber spokesman Lloyd Taylor told the Free Times this week their "aspirational" construction start time would be July 2019 - with a two year construction period - but the Chamber is under no illusions about the practical challenges involved in dambuilding.

"We have growers who have committed around $23 million to buy water from the dam, but the reality is that even if we get the business case approved by the state, the federal government is going to want to see signed, binding contracts with users before it will even think about putting a cent on the table," Lloyd said.

"We want to stress that if Emu Swamp becomes a reality - and there are a lot of 'ifs' around that - it's going to be at no cost to the council and we don't believe ratepayers should have to bear any of the cost.

"This is an irrigation project, but council would be able to take unusable water from Storm King Dam and it would provide 450 megalitres for the council to use for urban supplies in an emergent situation."

EMU SWAMP DAM BASICS ... · Total capacity of 3900 megalitres (ML) · Inundation area of 210 hectares, total area (with buffer zone) of 534 hectares, buffer zone to be used for community recreation purposes · Commercial irrigators, ie farmers, would pay for their allocations under individual contracts · Would include an 'emergency' allocation for Stanthorpe urban use of 450ML · Federal Government would meet

Lloyd says the alternative of raising Storm King Dam would need to be initiated by the council - which owns Storm King - but he points out that no full-blown engineering study has been done to determine if the existing wall is strong enough to take additional pressure if a second stage were to go on.

He said while Storm King Dam's total allocation is 1150ML it's only feasible to use around 650ML annually for urban supplies to ensure the dam remains sustainable longterm, but that some of that spare capacity could be channelled into a dam at Emu Swamp.

"At the end of the day we have to come up with a business case that stacks up for the Queensland Government," he said. ● $60 million construction cost; would be owned and operated by a not-forprofit company · Stanthorpe Chamber of Commerce expects to have its new business case to the Queensland Government

by November this year; state would then assess and if deemed viable would seek construction funding from Canberra · Chamber plans more public consultation over the dam in coming months, refuting claims from some quarters that planning for the dam is a 'closed shop' among the Granite Belt farming community. ●

SOUTHERN DOWNS STATE MP JAMES LISTER ON Emu Swamp Dam - The horticultural industry is worth hundreds of millions of dollars to our electorate of Southern Downs. We could produce more fruit and vegetables, if only we had more secure supplies of water. By providing a secure source of supplemented water, such as Emu Swamp Dam, for our fruit and vegetable industry, we can expand production, employment and prosperity for the small businesses and workers in our communities. The Stanthorpe and Granite Belt Chamber of Commerce are doing excellent work on this with funds from the Federal Government. It will give us a much more accurate estimate of the cost of building and running Emu Swamp Dam. The Detailed Business Case report to the Queensland Government won't be completed until the end of the year, but already it is clear that the cost of building the dam will be vastly less than previous estimates.

Storm King Dam - Providing a secure urban water supply for Stanthorpe is the job of the Southern Downs Regional Council, so I can only

make general observations on this matter. I am advised that detailed plans for the dam wall at Storm King cannot be located. There would need to be a thorough engineering and feasibility study undertaken before the case of raising the dam wall could be determined. One point I would make though is that raising the height of the wall will not change the size of the catchment. It might well be that increasing the capacity of Storm King Dam will not significantly improve urban water security for Stanthorpe.

Elbow Valley Dam - I think Elbow Valley would have been a better location for a Dam than where Leslie Dam is, but that is a matter of history and we need to be looking to the future. I am a great believer in the building of dams, and I will do all I can to expand water infrastructure in our electorate of Southern Downs.

If our Warwick agricultural industry would like to see a dam built, I will be very happy to hear from them and I will help in any way that I can to have the case examined. Access to additional irrigation water would be a fantastic shot in the arm for our producers and the people and small businesses of Warwick. ●

LET US DRINK Karara residents are continuing to lobby the Southern Downs Regional Council in a bid to reverse a council decision to cut off their reticulated water supply.

Councillors voted in a confidential

session at their June general meeting to cut off the water supply to the small village west of Warwick, giving residents a month’s notice.

The council has said it will supply all residences with a 5000 gallon water tank and a once-off free fill and it is understood this work will go out to tender shortly.

The council has said a survey conducted earlier this year showed the water - which is not suitable for drinking - had a low take-up rate.

Residents have written to the council insisting the decision be reviewed and are waiting on a response.

This program is designed to help tech entrepreneurs to scale up their startups to employ more people," she said.

"Regional Queensland is a great source of tech innovation and ingenuity

and we want to help showcase that to the world.

THE FLIGHT FOR LIFE LifeFlight helicopter rescue crews and doctors have given a record number of people a second chance at life, performing almost 5,500 lifesaving missions in the past 12 months, the charity revealed this week.

The end of the financial year marked the charity's busiest in its 37-year history, with its doctors, community rescue helicopters and Air Ambulance jets performing a record 5,452 missions.

This brings the service's total number of patients helped to more than 50,000 since its very first airlift in 1981.

Over the 2017-2018 financial year the RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopters completed 1,819 community-based missions throughout Queensland.

574 of those were completed by the Toowoomba aeromedical crew, costing around $7.1 million - at no cost to patients.

The top five mission types for the Toowoomba-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter, according to injury and illness were: Motor vehicle and motorcycle accidents (on and off road, quad bike and pedestrian) (60), cardiac conditions (58), infection / serious illness (52), respiratory conditions (39) and abdominal conditions (35). ●

Warwick Friendly Society dispensary manager Joel Breen and general manager Ahmad Almesfer.

Established over a century ago, the Warwick Friendly Society has played an extensive part in the history of the Southern Downs region.

Formed in 1909 and as the result of an amalgamation of smaller friendly societies in the area, the Warwick Friendly Society fulfilled a vital role - providing financial and social services to families and individuals in a time before government welfare and health insurance.

In 1912, the Society's first pharmacy opened on the corner of Palmerin and Grafton Street, providing the community with a dispensary for all its medical needs. The Warwick Friendly Society has since expanded to include a second pharmacy and, with the cooperation of fellow doctors and health professionals in Warwick, saw the successful construction of a health centre situated in Wood Street.

Despite the long history and considerable

evolution that the Warwick Friendly Society has undergone, there is one thing that they have ensured will never change - their commitment to serving the great community of Warwick. And in their continued efforts to bring the best service and prices to the people of Warwick, they are proud to announce that Warwick Friendly Society has partnered with Guardian Pharmacies. When asked about the move, Warwick Friendly Society general manager Ahmad Almesfer, said, "Guardian is a brand that has been committed to delivering healthcare solutions around Australia for over 30 years and we look forward to starting the next chapter of our story with their support".

To celebrate this new partnership, Warwick Friendly Society will be holding events at both of their new-look pharmacies this Saturday 14 July. With a wide array of activities for the kids and plenty of prizes to be won, it will be a good day spent with good friends. ●

A code of conduct for hosts and guests along with a limited number of "strikes and you're out" policy will be central to Queensland's response to shortterm letting, says Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones.

Having chaired the government's fourth industry reference group round table on short-term letting last week, Ms Jones said the group would present a number of documents to the government in coming months, including a code of conduct.

"Tourism is a cornerstone of Queensland's economy so it's important that we strike a balance in our response to growth in the short-term accommodation sector," she said.

"After a productive discussion with the industry reference group yesterday, what's clear is the need for a clear set of guidelines to promote respect among hosts and guests here in Queensland.

"Our industry reference group will work on this code of conduct and will submit formal recommendations to the government in coming months."

Ms Jones said the government would also look to introduce a system of data sharing in the short-term accommodation sector.

"We don't want to target mums and dads who want to make a bit of extra coin to pay off their mortgage," she said.

"But it's important for councils to be able to tell the difference between someone who is renting out their own home and someone who's running a business." ●

12379138-LN12-18

CODE OF CONDUCT

Community groups can apply for Federal funding through the Volunteer Grants program, set to open next month, Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said this week.

Mr Littleproud said the Coalition Government was providing $20 million worth of grants valued between $1000 and $5000 to not-for-profit organisations.

"Volunteers are the fabric of our bush community," Minister Littleproud said.

"Anyone who has popped into their local library or charity store will recognise the smiling face of their local volunteer worker. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community.

"These grants can be put towards essential items that help make the work of our volunteers easier, safer, and more enjoyable, such as equipment, training, transport and background screening.

"Volunteers tirelessly work long hours. We need to make sure not-forprofit organisations have some financial backing so they can keep giving back to our communities.

"I encourage all not-for-profit organisations in Maranoa to apply for the Volunteer Grants round to assist our volunteers and encourage volunteering."

The Volunteer Grants round is expected to open in August.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOR ASIA A "uniquely Queensland" variety of strawberry from runners grown on the Granite Belt could soon be enjoyed by consumers in Indonesia and Hong Kong after a Queensland Government trade delegation tour.

The government says its program to help local food businesses woo international consumers "is already bearing fruit", with high hopes that Asian suppliers will soon be ordering Red Rhapsody strawberries grown on the Sunshine Coast.

Premier and Minister for Trade Annastacia Palaszczuk last week said a Queensland delegation had just returned from a 12-day export development push targeting evolving Asian markets for our strawberries.

"This uniquely Queensland strawberry, developed right here in Queensland by Department of Agriculture staff, has attracted the interest of chefs and restauranteurs from the world," the Premier said.

"Now, a successful delegation to Hong Kong and Indonesia has generated great interest from suppliers, with commercial orders for the product expected to be placed in the coming days.

"With that bumper crop of Red Rhapsody on the Sunshine Coast right now, the timing couldn't be better."

Runners for the Sunshine Coast growers are produced at Ashbern Farms' Stanthorpe property on West Road from October through to May. Ashbern Farms director Brendon Hoyle told the Free Times runners from their Stanthorpe operation - which also produces the Albion and San Andreas varieties - go as far as Western Australia, supplying winter strawberry growers in warm regions.

Ashbern Farms has had its Stanthorpe presence for the past nine years and has its Sunshine Coast farm in the Glasshouse Mountains.

HORTICULTURE IS PROGRAM'S FOCUS Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said three Queensland strawberry businesses would work collaboratively to conduct research and trials with the information to be shared with all strawberry growers in Queensland.

"Elimbah-based E & A Coco and Sons

Red Rhapsody strawberries are a Queensland innovation. (Image courtesy Ashbern Farms).

Pty Ltd have collaborated with other Sunshine Coast strawberry businesses, Ashbern Farms and Berry Patch, and the Queensland Strawberry Grower Association and their work will ultimately benefit the entire industry," Mr Furner said.

"Red Rhapsody is a highly productive and flavoursome strawberry variety developed in Queensland by the DAF research team as an early harvest variety.

"The berry itself is very resistant to diseases and bruising in the supply chain which makes it ideal for exporting to Asia.

"Since its introduction to the market three years ago, many Queenslanders have become familiar with Red

Rhapsody's dark red/purple colour, which differentiates it from other Queensland grown winter strawberries, and good flavour balance."

Mr Furner said the GQFE was part of the Palaszczuk Government's commitment to increase Queensland's exports and deliver more jobs and strong economic growth in regional areas.

"We are assisting six diverse food companies from macadamias, mangoes and melons, to strawberries, sweet corn and pork to build their business capability in the first round of funding under the GQFE with a second round of funding available in July 2018," Mr Furner said.

"Companies targeting the export

priorities of their sector can apply for matched funding of up to $100,000 (minimum of $50,000) over two years per eligible project with applicants to co-contribute at least 50 per cent of the total funds required.

"The program focuses primarily on horticulture as Queensland is Australia's largest producer of vegetables and the second largest producer of fruit and nuts."

The next funding round for applications opens at the start on 1 July.

Food producers who would like to know more can phone 13 25 23 or email GQFE@daf.qld.gov.au ●

ALLEGED FRAUDSTER CASE ADJOURNED

BY JEREMY SOLLARS A man charged with cattle fraud in excess of $1.5 million has had his case mentioned for the second time in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday 25 June.

Anthony Robert Lee, 65, of Evans Head in New South Wales, is alleged to have placed an advertisement in rural media in early 2017 for a company wanting to purchase cattle for processing for export.

A Queensland Police Media statement issued in February said that "as a result, three cattle properties contacted the company in April, May and June 2017 where they entered into contracts to supply Wagyu and Wagyu cross cattle".

"It will then be alleged the companies did not receive full payment for the sales agreed upon after supplying the cattle," the

statement said.

Detectives from the Queensland Police State Crime Command's Major and Organised Crime Squad (Rural) charged Lee after what they described as a "protracted fraud investigation".

Lee first appeared in the Lismore Local Court in late February after his arrest in NSW and was afterwards placed in the custody of Queensland police.

He has not yet been required to enter a plea and the matter is due to be heard again in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday 23 July.

Detectives have described the alleged $1.5m fraud as "crippling" to the cattle industry and the cattle companies involved.

One of the companies involved is based in Springsure in Central Queensland and

The ad placed in regional media. another is based in Charters Towers, while the other two are based in New South Wales. Police believe there could be more victims of this fraud and are encouraging any others to come forward. ●

$1.5m worth of Wagyu and Wagyu-cross cattle are involved in the alleged fraud.

RURAL LINKS BIG BANKS CALLED OUT Minister for Agriculture and Maranoa MP David Littleproud has called on the big banks to help farmers manage drought and tough times by offering offset accounts for Farm Management Deposits.

FMDs allow farmers to remove money from their taxable income in good years by depositing it into an FMD account. They can withdraw the money during a bad year and pay tax on the withdrawal then.

"The Coalition Government increased the cap on FMD accounts from $400,000 to $800,000 in 2016," Mr Littleproud said this week.

"We also allowed banks to give farmers the chance to use their FMD to offset interest on their loans, the same as a home loan often has an everyday offset account which offsets interest from the home loan.

"However no big bank has taken the opportunity.

"This is a chance for the big banks to regain their standing in the community following evidence in the Royal Commission.

"The big banks have been able to provide these FMD offsets since 2016, and time's up.

"The big banks need to right their wrongs. Our banks should back our farmers.

"The only bank to have gotten on board FMD offset accounts is the Rural Bank and I applaud them for it."

IN THE DARK ON TARIFFS This week marked two years until the end of transitional and obsolete electricity tariffs. From 1 July 2020, many of the tariffs that were specifically designed to meet the needs of irrigation and other farming activities will be phased out, leaving farmers to negotiate higher cost demand-based tariffs.

Queensland Farmers' Federation President Stuart Armitage said the standard business demand-based tariff options were unsuitable for the state's agriculture sector and without a genuine transition program, farmers would be left in the dark.

"At the end of 2016, there were about 42,000 regional businesses

Opposition to set out a clear path for affordable energy for intensive, semiintensive and irrigated agriculture by developing a suite of suitable tariffs, efficiently pricing electricity, and increasing investment to help farmers improve their energy efficiency and demand management."

For more information about the end of the transitional electricity tariffs in regional Queensland visit www.qff.org.au

currently on eight different tariffs classified as transitional or obsolete.

About 17,400 of these connections are for farming and irrigation purposes," Mr Armitage said.

"The ability for these farm businesses to now adjust in a two-year period when many still have no usage data to make tariff selection choices is unreasonable, particularly to a demand tariff."

"Irrigated agriculture will not only have to deal with the direct impact of high energy costs but also the rising cost of water should the Queensland Government decide to permit bulk water and distribution scheme operators like SunWater to recover their increasing electricity costs."

"The current lack of clarity on what tariffs would be suitable for irrigation and other agricultural-specific operations, and the significant bill increases farmers will face moving from transitional tariffs to standard business demand-based tariffs is unacceptable."

"QFF continues to call on the Queensland Government and the

SHEEP YARDINGS UP Meat and Livestock Australia says the traditional winter shortage has begun to impact lamb numbers, while dry conditions in NSW have seen increased sheep yardings.

For the month of June, eastern states lamb yardings totalled 679,000 head, down 134,000 head (17%) year-on-year, driven by a 21% decline in NSW. Market reports suggest lamb supply has fallen across most categories, particularly in southern NSW saleyards where lighter weight lambs are often well-supplied at this time of year. ●

OPINION

NEWS

WHY A FREE PRESS MATTERS Readers may recall that the Southern Downs Regional Council recently placed a three-month moratorium on responding to enquiries from the Southern Free Times, after they took exception to some of our reporting.

Talking in a genuinely global sense, I think it’s worth a reminder about the role of the media in a democratic society and how freedom of the press is being threatened both here in Australia and overseas.

I’m currently reading a book called ‘The First Casualty’, written by Australian journalist Peter Greste, who along with two colleagues was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned while reporting in Egypt in 2014 on suspicion of terror charges, and was eventually released after eight months behind bars following a re-trial.

In his book Greste writes extensively and eloquently about how press freedom in recent times has not only been under attack from extremist governments and groups like IS, but also from supposedly democratic governments in the US and here in Australia.

Greste makes the vital point that while Donald Trump regularly attacks and denigrates the media - including individual

journalists - it was under his predecessor Barack Obama that American journalism really began to be reined in, through that administration’s use of the US Espionage Act, repeatedly invoked in attempts to shut down reporting related to the ‘War On Terror’, following on from George W Bush’s pronouncement after 9/11 that “You’re either with us, or you’re with the terrorists” the media included.

What’s also interesting to note is how press freedom is ranked, country by country by Reporters Without Borders, an international body which promotes and defends freedom of information, along with raising awareness of how journalists are treated by regimes around the world including their incarceration and murder.

Not surprisingly, the US comes in at 45 out of 180 on the Reporters Without Borders ‘2018 World Press Freedom Index’ (North Korea sits at the 180 spot, and Norway at #1), but Australia doesn’t fare a heck of a lot better, at 19.

This is what Reporters Without Borders has to say about the current Australian media landscape "While Australia has good public media, the ownership of its print media is heavily concentrated. Two media groups - News Corporation (owned by billionaire

Rupert Murdoch) and Fairfax Media - are responsible for 85% of newspaper sales.

Media coverage of refugees and Australia’s offshore refugee detention centers (Nauru and Manus) is very restricted.

Whistleblowers who disclose information about conditions in the refugee centers or operations by the Australian Security Intelligence Organization are now exposed to the possibility of imprisonment. A telecommunications law has opened the way to surveillance of the metadata of journalists’ communications. In January 2018, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s government yet again proposed legislation that would jeopardize the confidentiality of journalists’ sources."

Not exactly a glowing report, is it?

Now more than ever, our larger freedoms as individuals depend on a free press. To quote the legendary American broadcaster Walter Cronkite, “Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.”

BEING DROUGHT READY A roundtable meeting in Canberra this week was a constructive step towards the development of an enduring policy that assists farmers to prepare for, manage and recover from drought, AgForce Queensland Farmers said.

The drought roundtable was chaired

by Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud and attended by the National Farmers' Federation, state farming organisations and banking representatives.

AgForce General President Grant Maudsley said with more than half of Queensland still drought declared, many farmers were hurting and the prolonged nature of the drought had taken an enormous toll on regional communities.

"The roundtable meeting was the next step in the process following the Prime Minister's recent visit to drought affected areas in western Queensland, and the subsequent announcement of an extension of the Farm Household Allowance from three to four years," he said.

"AgForce welcomed the opportunity to be part of the roundtable and present ideas on behalf of Queensland primary producers. There were some very constructive conversations at this week's meeting and it's clear that collaboration between governments at all levels, the financial sector and primary producers will be the key to developing an enduring drought policy." ●

WORK STARTS ON THE NEXT Warwick author and researcher Deborah Wheeler is working on volume two of her history of Stanthorpe's Kyoomba Sanitorium, with volume one officially launched at the Stanthorpe RSL club on April 24 this year.

Kyoomba was established for repatriated Diggers suffering from tuberculosis (TB) and those who developed lung damage due to the effects of the German gas they encountered while serving in the trenches on the frontline of combat in World War I. The Stanthorpe RSL received a $20,000 grant from the Queensland Government under its 'Spirit of Service' funding program to enable volume one to be produced, and has now been granted an additional $45,000 under the government's Queensland Anzac Centenary Lasting Legacies funding.

This allows Deborah, their official researcher, to continue with her research, including unearthing details of the many soldiers who were treated at Kyoomba and the many doctors, nurses and other staff who cared for them. exhibition and more, with the opening of the Hall's renovations at 11am.

All-morning breakfast, country cooking and tea, coffee and cold drinks available. For Hall booking enquiries call Erin on 0481 545 141.

SOUTHERN FREE TIMES 21

THE SPIN

LEAGUE AT ALL LEVELS CENTRE STAGE State of Origin is firmly in our minds at the moment - as I am finalising Spin this week I certainly hope the Maroons will have farewelled one of the greats of the game, Billy Slater with a victory in game three denying those pesky Blues a clean sweep.

State of Origin and its beginnings are part of the Queenslanders DNA but in 1980 when Ron McAuliffe realised a dream and Origin was born there was another football competition in its infancy - the Confraternity Shield. Over the ensuing years the two competitions have become very much intertwined.

The Schoolboy's competition which sprang from humble beginnings in Bundaberg all those years ago has now grown exponentially to perhaps the strongest schoolboy's competition in Rugby league land.

Confraternity developed because young talented league players at Independent Schools were denied the opportunity to play in the State Schools competition and it diminished their chance of playing for their State or Country from a school level.

Confro as it is affectionately known has certainly changed that.

This year 48 teams from one end of the state to the other competed in Charters Towers. While it is a great football nursery it is far more - with a unique emphasis on fellowship and strong ethical values.

There were few luxuries for the boys from St Joey's and Assumption College who travelled to the Towers this year. The team basically looks after themselves with the assistance of some diehard managers and coaching staff. I doubt there would have been one of the boys who was not pleased to get home last weekend to a comfy bed but wouldn't have missed the opportunity for the world.

Confraternity and State of Origin seem to go hand in hand since they arrived on the football stage at the same time and have both grown into something truly special.

From the ranks of Confraternity a host of players have made their way to the State of Origin ranks. Included in the most recent playing group are Val Holmes Cameron Munster Corey Oates Anthony Milford Coen Hess to name just a few and of course the retired Origin greats Thurston and Cronk and injured Matt Scott.

20 former Confro players have played in the green and gold and over 80 have played or are currently playing NRL. Not a bad record.

More than their rugby league achievements those who have played in the competition no matter what dizzy heights they reach seem to fondly recall their Confro days as some of their best memories and helped shape them into wonderful young men.

At a time when rugby league is falling out of favour with some of the younger generation Confro is surely one of the important lifelines for the success of rugby league in the future.

- Casey COACH RECONGISED The combined St Joey's /Assumption College rugby league squad were resigned to coming home from the 2018 Confraternity competition in Charters Towers empty handed this year after a vicious gastric bug flattened most of the team. They were not however anticipating that their coach Bob Bell would be named Coach of the 22 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

|

St Joey's and Assumption teammates after their final game - players were spent at the end of the game, finishing with just a couple of reserves on thee bench after sickness ko'd the team.

Confraternity Shield Merit team. Bell was given the honour ahead of 47 Coaches from colleges across Queensland.

It is great recognition for the coaching stalwart who was a handy footballer himself before taking up coaching juniors in Stanthorpe and now in Warwick.

The team and support crew were thrilled with the announcement. Their coach has been instrumental in lifting the profile and success of the combined side over the past few years.

The side regularly punches above its weight at this carnival and for the past two years have won their grade.

The team looked to be on track for more success with outstanding wins in their opening games against more fancied opposition. They opened their account with wins over Marist College, Emerald and All Souls St Gabriel's 1 before a gastro bug infiltrated the ranks. They went down in the quarter finals 28-12 to Clairvaux Mackillop College after finishing with only a couple of reserves on the bench and most of the side showing signs of the dreaded bug.

Despite the loss it was a gutsy effort against some quality opposition and although there was no silverware joining them on the flight home the performance was actually a step up from their past wins in a lower division.

The overall winners of the carnival were Jonathon Thurston's former school St Mary's College, Toowoomba who defeated St Peter Claver College, Riverview 42-6.

KAY TAKES JULY MEDAL Stanthorpe Golfers were vying for the July Monthly Medal last Saturday. It was a good day's golf sponsored by club member Michael O'Brien.

President Stephen Kay and Rob Reeves both finished the round with the excellent score of nett 67. After the obligatory count

back it was the president who was awarded the medal. Good mate Rob Reeves was forced to settle for the runners up spot.

In conjunction with the medal event, the Dale Mullen's trophy sponsored by Michael Thompson was presented to John Spiller for the best score of the day. Spiller returned 76 for the round.

Mandy Benussi took out the ladies' medal event scoring a nett 80 for the round.

Hot on her heels was Nikki Waterworth just one shot back.

The men's Putting honours went to Kev Rowling who needed 26 putts for his round.

Trish Fittock was the ladies' winner with 29 putts for the round and family bragging rights as husband Tom needed another 11 putts for his round. Perhaps some tuition is in order?

John Spiller collected the balls for best pin shot at three and the pro-pin at 1/10.

Mark Hendry collected the balls at 12 and there were no takers for 17. After a busy morning manning a street stall one of the final fund raisers for grandson Billy Webb, Kay Webb had the best approach at 17. Matt Waterworth held the pro-pin at 9/18 and Alan Kerr (OA -i.e. older A grader) held pro-pin at 5/14. The Birdies nest proved too elusive for the field.

Players may have noticed the irrigation work done around the course.

Thanks to the RSL golf group for their $6100 donation towards this project. David St John has also provided a load of top soil which will be used around the course and Keith Jones has been busy with the garden area at the sixth tee. The club thanks them both for their contribution.

This week Reece Plumbing is sponsoring a Single Stableford event and there is a time sheet on the board.

Players will be hoping for some kinder conditions this weekend.

SIMMERS RETURNS WITH WIN Jack Frost was up and about early on Sunday morning to greet the good field who turned out for Sporters meanwhile Sporters President Ray Thorn has escaped to a somewhat warmer spot near Cooktown for a few weeks.

Aaron Simmers fresh from an overseas holiday returned in good form to score a win on his return.

Another player finding his best form is Casey Leotta who recorded the best gross for the day and also the balls for runner up.

John Walsh and Angelo Maugeri also collected the balls for the run down.

Winner, Aaron Simmers, held the pin shot at 12 and Paul Byrnes at 17. Matt Waterworth collected the prize for the propin. Seen leaving with a meat tray in hand were John Walsh and Steve McEvoy.

Sporters will tee off at the same time, 8.00am this Sunday.

GEITZ CALLS TIME Champion netballer and one of the Southern Downs most popular sportswomen has called time on her international career with the Australian Diamonds. Geitz who made her return to the international stage in the GC 2018 Commonwealth games after the birth of son Barney says the time is right to step down from the side. She made the announcement earlier in the week at the Queensland State Age Netball championships where she says she fell in love with the game.

Geitz who has had an illustrious career with the Diamonds which included 71 appearances for the Australian team will play out the current season with her team the Queensland Firebirds in the Suncorp Super Netball Competition but says she will has not yet made a decision on her future with the team. Her legion of fans will be hoping to see her in the Firebird's colours for several more seasons. freetimes.com.au

Brothers, the Warriors now sit at the head of the leader board two points clear of arch rivals Valleys but will be taking nothing for granted in the run up to the finals.

In Round 14 they out muscled, out classed and out played Brothers. It was a comprehensive performance however it was the team's attitude rather than the 68-4 score line which most impressed Coach Travis Burns. Following their surprise loss in the recent the Madsen Rasmussen where they squandered what looked to be a winning lead Burns revealed the side has been focusing on closing out their games something they did well at Glenholme Park on Sunday.

Wattles began the game in explosive fashion and had raced to a 22 point lead midway through the first half. Kyle Wagner finally got Brothers on the scoreboard but at halftime Wattles held a 38-4 lead. Jackson Green bamboozled the defence notching a four try tally for the afternoon. Brayden Wilson was equally illusive scoring three tries on the left wing. There was a queue of other try scorers - Nick Van Der Poel, Mark Gordon, Travis Burns, Tyler Gillam Ty Gardner Nick van der Poel and Andrew Richardson all crossed for four pointers as Wattles powered to a big score. Matt Duggan kicked eight conversions.

In other games Wattles had a comfortable 46-10 win in Reserve Grade but Brothers had some joy winning the Under 18 game 52-14, The assignment for Wattles this week is sure to be more difficult when they host second placed Valleys who are coming off a round 14 bye. It will be a class game at Platz Oval on Sunday afternoon and who knows it could be a dress rehearsal for the grand final.

COWBOYS IN THE HUNT The Warwick Cowboys look to have cemented their position in the TRL top five after a tough road trip to Goondiwindi last weekend.

The Boars pushed the visitors all game but the Cowboys managed to retain the lead throughout to claim the important two points in a 24-18 victory.

David McGrady who only recently joined the side showed his worth with a classy try while Darren Pettiford, Joe Fuimaono, Dylan McLoughlin also scored for the Cowboys. McGrady added the extras nailing four conversions.

The Cowboy's Reserve Grade also had a gutsy 26-24 win but the Under 18's went down 40-20 to the home side.

The Cowboys will be looking to further enhance their chances of playing finals football this weekend when they host the Gatton Hawks at Fr Ranger Oval on Saturday night. The home side will need to be at their best. Despite their position on the ladder, the Hawks are in good touch after an impressive round 14 win over

Goals: Will Carter 2) GREMLINS SCORE GOOD WIN Although they had not played for several weeks and were down on numbers, the Stanthorpe Gremlins scored a knockout blow to their opponents Brothers in last Sunday's Clive Berghofer Second division clash at Glenholme Park. The win put Stanthorpe right in the finals mix. Gatton head the standings four points clear of Stanthorpe and Dalby who are both sitting on 14 points. Hot on their heels are Pittsworth and the Cowboys.

The last few games will be crucial for the Stanthorpe side. Their run to the final includes a clash this Saturday Valleys - their final game at Sullivan Oval for the season; a bye and two away games against Dalby.

A win this weekend and another in one of their final clashes is crucial.

DISRUPTIONS ALL ROUND Mallet players had a disputed week last week with a broken water main causing the cancellation of Gateball on Friday and only small fields at Association Croquet and Ricochet games.

With just a handful of players at Association Croquet Joy Newman and Andrea Denkewitz played Peter Tunbridge and Heather Widderick.

Both Joy and Andrea each recorded one peel on their way to a winning score of 26-14.

Peter Tunbridge played well on the losing team also recording a peel.

Pat Schnoor and Grace Howard played an entertaining and very close game. Both recorded breaks of three but it was Pat Schnoor who recorded a one point win.

Final score 26-25.

Misty rain and unpleasant conditions obviously deterred many players for the Ricochet game. Those who did play were forced to delay the start of play until conditions improved slightly when play got underway Jenny Tunbridge played a lone hand against John Draper and Val Fancourt.

Tunbridge was unfazed by the conditions and had a great game, hardly missing a shot. She went on to record a 26-14 win.

Bill Golding played solo against Andrea Denkewitz and a new player to Ricochet, Liz Ellway. Bill got away to a good start before the ladies hit their stride and at one stage took the lead in the game. Golding rallied with his last couple of turns to win an entertaining game 26-21.

The conditions for Golf Croquet were also less than ideal however a reasonable field including overseas players Melanie and Hanika before leaving the district to explore other parts of the country. The Golf Croquet group have certainly enjoyed their company and although they played only a handful of games both performed very well showing a real aptitude for the game.

Shirley Page, Marian Castles, and Elaine Brown played Justin Liddy, Liz Ellway and visitor Hanika. This was a very close game but unfortunately someone forgot to record the scores so the winners remain a mystery.

Pauline Inglis and Bev Sullivan narrowly scored a narrow 9-8 win in their game against Melanie.

Heavy drizzle during the morning tea break forced the cancellation of any further play.

WATTLES EYE THE PRIZE Only four rounds of the TRL remain before the finals get underway and Wattles have their sights set on a minor premiership.

After an impressive win last weekend over
