Remote work with Reduced Pay?
he COVID-19 pandemic con nues to reshape the workforce, with almost half of Australian workers willing to sacrifice part of their annual salary to work from home. New research by the University of South Australia has found that 45% of workers would be willing to accept a pay cut in exchange for remote work flexibility. A survey of more than 1100 Australian workers in 2020-21 found that the average worker, who can carry out their role effec vely at home, is willing to give up $3000 to $6000 in annual wages (4 to 8% of their salary). One fi h of par cipants would be willing to sacrifice $12 to $24,000 annually (16 to 33% of salaries). However, more than half (55%) of the par cipants indicated they would be unwilling to give up a por on of their wages to work from home and either see no benefit to produc vity or wellbeing or have various concerns with remote working. Lead researcher Associate Professor Akshay Vij said, Workers who didn’t place a posi ve value on remote working are more concerned about their rela onship with colleagues and their supervisors, as well as missing out on opportuni es for learning and career advancement, It was interes ng to find that these
concerns were raised more o en by workers who had more experience with remote working before the pandemic. Workers who had less experience with remote working arrangements were more posi ve about working from home.” The study found female workers were almost 30% more likely to value remote work than their male counterparts, while workers aged in their 30s and 50s were also more likely to value the ability to work from home. Workers in their 20s valued remote working the least, possibily due to a perceived importance of in-person interac ons to career growth. Couples with children who had either le home or s ll lived at home were prepared to sacrifice the most from their salary to work from home compared to couples with no children, single parents or those living alone or with others. It is clear that COVID-19 has significantly impacted the way in which people want to work. Workplaces around the world have adopted changes to support the work from home movement, developing the necessary protocols and processes to support their remote workers.

In the last month I’ve had two medical procedures. One was in a flash private hospital in a major regional city, the second one was at Maryborough Hospital. Both were day procedures under anaesthe c, and both had great medical outcomes. If I had to compare the two from a pa ent care perspec ve, I would have to say that MDHS won hands down. The staff were absolutely lovely - couldn’t do enough for me to make me feel comfortable - and they knocked pa ent care out of the park. The admi ng nurse was a lass who married a local lad and now calls Maryborough home. She was thorough and efficient, and made me feel at ease. Now before you say that I perhaps received ‘special care’, I watched her with subsequent pa ents, and everyone was treated as I was. Wai ng for my procedure I couldn’t have wanted for anything. A nice warm blanket, bed adjusted just right, you name it. Once I was wheeled into theatre it was so nice to see my regular GP administer my anaesthe c, something that always scares the ‘bejeesus’ out of me. Post-care things were also lovely. My husband received a phone call with lots of me for him to drive in from our farm to come and collect me. The next day I received a phone call from a MDHS nurse to ‘check up on how I went post op’. It wasn’t just a super-fast, ck the box call. Nope, we spoke for quite a while, and didn’t disconnect un l the nurse was absolutely certain I was A-OK. We are so blessed to have this great facility in town and with the new hospital build now well underway, I am looking forward to what the future holds for medical care in our great shire.

Then I no ced that my rose bushes looked a bit smaller than before and found that the buds and leaves had been "pruned". Over on the verandah I found that a plant that I was intending to nip the top out of had already been done and a newly po ed azalea had been pulled out of its pot and le on the ground. It could only have been kangaroos, so I keep the front gate closed now.
I was doing a bit of weeding on Saturday evening when the local galahs came home to roost. They were even noisier than usual and flying agitatedly so I watched them for a few moments before I saw five or six birds cruising high above them, they were big. By the me I came out the back to find the binoculars they had dri ed away. I really think they were wedge tail eagles but I don’t think they travel in packs. Perhaps they were just spending a Saturday evening giving all the smaller birds in the district a good scare. ROSIE

Celestial Footy - 140 years of Chinese Heritage Aussie Rules
eles al Footy – The Story of Chinese Heritage Aussie Rules by author Patrick Skene was recently launched in Ballarat last Friday, with special guests including Bill Moy. Published by Hardie Grant, the catalyst for the book began with Mr. Skene wri ng a story in The Guardian about the forgo en 140 year history of the Chinese Goldfields Aussie Rules Leagues in 2015. During the Covid 19 Pandemic, he found his Chinese friends “were copping a lot of abuse and blamed for CoVid… where their sense of place, of belonging was eroded.” Mr. Skene’s response was to extend his ini al interest in these forgo en stories, collec ng more of them and before he knew it, he had a book’s worth. “Some feel they have been pushed from being ‘Chinese-Australian’ back to being ‘Chinese. This book is my a empt to rebuild the hypen.” he wrote. Se ng their stories in this most Aussie of endeavours – forming teams and playing in Aussie Rules, the book shines a light on the unwavering commitment by Chinese-Australians through the years to play the sport they loved; reversing the long-held stereotype of Chinese-Australians holding onto isola onist cultural policies and refusal of assimila on with Australian interests and values. From the infamous Miners vs Market Gardeners ‘Celes al Football match on the Victorian Goldfields in 1892, the Golden Point Rice Eaters in Ballarat, James Henry Lepp, the first Chinese Australian football umpire to Dunolly’s own William Ying (Dunolly’s 1903 Premiership Team) – the book records how Chinese-Australians have not only embraced but enthusias cally followed and played football then and into the future. “William Ying was not only a footy player, he was a photographer and a Mining Chemist – an early Renaissance Man” Mr. Skene added. In his book’s introduc on, he concluded, “For me, Australia will not be a whole na on un l all its community’s stories are celebrated, including those
of the Chinese-Australians. From Chinese-Australian ANZAC sniper Billy Sing to the proud footballers in this book, Australia will be a fairer place when these stories are acknowledged, credited and celebrated – properly.”

William Henry Ying was born in Dunolly in 1884. His parents operated Ying’s Terminus Hotel in Thompson St. He studied to become a metallurgist and played football for Dunolly. He was also a photographer. Prior to moving to Majorca about 1908 Ying took a number of photographs in Dunolly. These include the Recrea on Reserve, Bet Bet and Pre y Jane Creek bridges. Mary Pelle er the Dunolly newsagent sold postcards with her name on them of Dunolly scenes. Some, if not all, of these photos had been taken by Billy Ying. John Tully

DUNOLLY BOWLING CLUB RESULTS: Tuesday 28/11 : Round 10 Dunolly Blue vs Dunolly Gold. T. Galofaro 30 vs F. Delconte 12. A. Weir 39 vs W. Stephens 23. K. Ellio 42 vs J. Haigh 11.

This year instead of pos ng on our no ce boards, and let’s be honest, not everyone looks at the board, (in previous years, although stated on the no ces the cut-off date, some wrote their names down the day before the event), invita ons were sent by mail to all members and social members, re our Christmas breakup, which also included a prepaid envelope with a return address. Goodness me within two days, all were sending back the invites before the cut-off date, this year, there will not be a spare seat & 90 members will enjoy the evening - Hannah and her helpers certainly will be busy on the night. Thank you to all Bowlers that have or are contribu ng toward our Christmas Hampers. We have 8 hampers at the moment. The ckets are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00.
