Cudgen Connection masterplan By Jonathon Howard

The survey results

The Cudgen Connection proposal was presented at Tweed, Casuarina, and Kingscliff shopping centres recently, with community engagement officers speaking to

165 people. The engagement found that 70 per cent of those surveyed are in favour, 11 per cent against and 19 per cent undecided. Comments from residents included that the proposal next to the new hospital “makes sense, it’s needed”, “You can’t build a hospital and not have the support facilities”, and “It has to happen. Start tomorrow”. The project team found those comments were in line with recent polling of 500 Tweed Shire residents by survey company Insightfully, an independent social opinion and research company commissioned by the Cudgen Connection project team to conduct the survey. The Insightfully survey ranked priorities for Tweed residents as affordable housing for essential workers (83%), more mental health services (72%), more local jobs (68%), more independence and less reliance on Queensland for health services and jobs (65%), and more specialist health services (60%). The report noted an overwhelming majority praised the concept with statements such as “I like the idea of private hospital and medical suites”. “More services are good for us and improve the value of our property,” the

survey stated. “Fantastic if you put a hospital there, you need outlying services around it.” “Good idea – might as well use the land there. We need quarters for nurses and we need car parking.”

Council motion calls for political input While many residents agree more health services and housing are important, Tweed Shire Councillor James Owen wants to hear from our state political leaders and their position on the matter. The development will be determined by the state government as a hospital is considered to be a state significant development. Cr Owen said he had not made a firm decision on the proposal and is supportive of additional health services in the shire, but feels it’s important to understand the views of political leaders first. Cr Owen will move that council’s general manager writes to leading government members requesting that “they advise council whether they will uphold the integrity of the Cudgen Plateau and support the existing retention of state significant farmland”.

PLANS TO develop land west of the new Tweed Valley Hospital are storming ahead as a proposed development known as Cudgen Connection prepares to submit a new masterplan to Tweed Shire Council. The masterplan proposes a more than $300 million investment in state-of-theart healthcare, education and essential worker housing, with a view to develop a health precinct at the corner of Tweed Coast Road and Cudgen Road. The proposal includes essential worker housing, a mental health hospital, childcare, retail to support the precinct, a transport interchange, community hub, university campus, private hospital, medical suites, and a medi-hotel. One of the biggest hurdles for the proposed development is the site’s zoning as state significant farmland (SSF), which remains a firm stopping point for many residents and local groups, including the Kingscliff Ratepayers Association. However, it appears public sentiment towards the site could be shifting, according to the Cudgen Connection team, which includes Digital Infratech managing director Allan Larkin and Centuria Healthcare managing director Andrew Hemming, who have been busy undertaking extensive local research. The research has so far indicated that some residents believe the need for health services and housing could take priority over the farmland zoning of the site. Both Mr Larkin and Mr Hemming along with their team of ‘connectors’ have been busy. They’ve researched the viability of the proposed land parcel for farming as well as gauging public sentiment around the proposed development. Cudgen Connection has found that 70 per cent of those surveyed believe a development of this nature “makes sense” next to the new hospital. Mr Larkin said the development is on land identified as SSF, which remains a concern for residents, particularly in Kingscliff. “However, the majority of residents agreed the site hadn’t been farmed for decades, was not quality agricultural land, and is unsuitable for farming,” Mr Larkin said, highlighting that professional soil tests carried out on his land support this point. “Queries about traffic, car parking, building heights and ‘keeping it green’ by integrating development with the environment have also been addressed in the latest masterplan.”

Letter of the Week

CONGRATULATIONS DENIS PURCELL

Fuel article a good read

Great article written by Jo Kennett in regard to high fuel prices in Tweed Heads (TVW Motoring November 9). These fuel retailers need shaming. I regularly travel to far western NSW, a round trip of about 2,500km, and over the past three years Tweed Heads has had the most expensive fuel I encountered. Denis Purcell, Tweed Heads

Fuel rip off

South of the border we pay 40c a litre more, with no reasonable explanation for this disparity at service stations, and they are supplied by the same tankers. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) advise us to suck it up. What good are they? They advise they monitor fuel price in more than 190 regional locations across Australia. If they think a fuel retailer has broken competition or consumer law, they investigate the issue further and may take action. Clearly this has not been adhered to in our area. Do they only go to the border and no further? Bilinga ser vice station in Queensland is only four kilometres from Tweed Heads. Are we in the Tweed being ripped off? Too right we are. All the prices on the Tweed are about the same but there is no collusion. It looks very suspicious based on them all asking the same price. The falling Aussie dollar has a slight impact, so it’s more likely high prices are coming from OPEC supply refinery shutdowns. That doesn’t explain the difference between the Gold Coast and the Tweed. As stated in The Weekly Motoring section, the only logical explanation seems to be that they have a lot more fuel stations and a lot more competition to win over customers. So what do we do? Accept that the

Tweed can charge 20 per cent extra for fuel over the Gold Coast or speak up? Where else do you pay 20 per cent more for commodities that are within a few kilometres of where you live? I, for one, will be boycotting service stations in my area of the Tweed and would suggest to other Tweed residents who live within a reasonable distance of the Gold Coast to do the same. David Baker, Tweed Heads West

Hard to see a GP

It is beyond a joke trying to see a doctor these days. In fact, it is most upsetting and exacerbates health concerns to not be able to get a consultation when a patient needs one. Especially regarding repeat prescriptions and specialist referrals. The patient is stressed. The doctors are double-booked. The receptionists are on the front line — in the firing line of unhappy and at times desperate patients. The only other option is to present to ED, then the hospitals are inundated. And this situation has been created by whom? By bureaucrats advising health ministers to alter the status of Murwillumbah to a metropolitan area! Can you believe it? Murwillumbah is the centre of a rural area. A lot of patients are from rural areas outside the town. The population is also increasing. It shouldn’t be so hard to consult a doctor for a health issue causing concern. And certainly not to have to wait two weeks for an appointment! Something has got to change. Serena V Dolinska, Upper Burringbar

Sometimes there’s only self-serve

Jacqui Harris, Tweed Heads

Someone else’s job

I have always hated self-serve shopping. I agree with residents saying they are standing there watching us do their job. There has been numerous times I have shopped at around 5pm or 6pm because it’s generally quieter, but when arriving at the checkout at Woolies Kingscliff there has been not one open. When I ask them to open a checkout for me as I have a full load, they roll their eyes and reluctantly open or send me through express which then clogs them up. I don’t understand the response of Coles saying it’s quicker, it may be the case only because they have one serviced checkout open, obviously if they opened more there wouldn’t be a wait. Also saying that customers can pack their bags the way they like is a laugh. If they actually trained staff as they used to do they would all know how to pack a bag properly. Bring back the good old-fashioned service and values for that matter, and with a smile would be nice. Jill Mansfield, Kingscliff

No to self-serve shopping

I am strongly opposed to self-serve shopping (TVW, November 9). Where are our youth going to work if everything is self-serve. I started my part-time work in Woolworths in my teens whilst at school and this was a great way to earn money while studying. Please don’t take this away from the youth and anyone wanting part-time work or making a full time career being a shop assistant, they are badly needed. Nelmae Palmer, Tweed Heads

I recently shopped at Coles at Tweed Self-serve is serving no City and I must admit it was about one 8pm, but I was very disappointed that I had no other option but to go through self-serve.

I would like to give my thoughts regarding self-serve checkouts (TVW, Nov 9).

Self-serve madness

I shopped at Coles Tweed City last Monday and I only had a few items. There was one checkout staffed with a long line of customers. The only other choice was self-serve. Usually I wouldn’t use self-serve but I was in a hurry. What a joke! I had a problem with scanning and had to wait for a staff member to proceed. The only other staff member was serving cigarette customers so I had to wait. Until Coles provides a staffed express checkout I will shop at Woolworths and IGA. Jenny Greenwood, Tweed Heads

No to nuclear power

I feel that to go to nuclear power would be a big mistake. When a nuclear power plant fails it costs a fortune to correct. No one talks about how to get rid of the waste. The problem will be left for our children and their children and even longer. Peter Hanson, Banora Point

No voters not elitist

I write in response to a recent Voice referendum letter (TVW, Nov 9). What a load of crap you speak rich elites. I know many local people who are basic down to earth Aussies that voted no because that’s how they feel.

Michael King, Bilambil

Denigration of the No voter

I am concerned by the disregard for our democratic process as displayed by all the sooking and bad sportsmanship from those who cannot let go of the failed Yes campaign. Sixty percent of Australians chose not to be bullied and manipulated into compliance. Rather than the No campaign being driven by Mark Sarakis’ (TVW October 9) shadowy multimillionaires and billionaires, we were all blatantly subjected to admonishments from every sports team and “influencer”, including the ABC. In fact, I couldn’t do my grocery shopping in a big chain supermarket without being assaulted by repetition of a song I once loved - Farnham’s “You’re the Voice”. The denigration of the No voters as somehow ignorant, hoodwinked, or even “racist”, is, in fact, denigration of our wonderful democratic system, which makes this country such a desirable destination worldwide. Continuing to bemoan the loss of a free and democratic referendum makes the losers of this campaign seem like a pack of spoilt brats. Robbie Wesley, Murwillumbah

I appreciate our First Nations people need to be recognised and they have been. Maybe some of the Elders should take more control of the billions spent already and our governments going forward be also responsible for where and what these funds are spent on. Albo you spent all that money on the referendum but you don’t want to go back and explain where the billions have been spent.

Ph:

I would say that roughly 80 per cent of people don’t want to make their grocery shopping a chore, into a day out shopping, which is happening rapidly at Coles and Woolworths. Woolworths now have security guards on some days watching the self-serve checkouts. I personally don’t use them because they take someone’s job and I feel most uncomfortable having a person scrutinising my movements by simply paying for food to put on our table. People have asked for more checkouts to be opened and the response is often ‘we have no staff’.

Battle-axe plan faces vote By Jonathon Howard

The battle-axe development has faced a range a criticisms from neighbouring residents

should this motion be unsuccessful,” he said. “I believe the developer at this site should revisit the plans to ensure they are more in line with council’s planning policies. “Should this compliance take place, I see no reason to deny moving forward with a project outcome.” Cr Polglase stressed the need for new housing in the Tweed, which he said was “enormous”. “I think Covid made people in Sydney and Melbourne switch their focus to areas such as the Tweed and that’s leading to a highly charged real estate market,” he said. “Therefore, if this particular development application is to revisit the plans, it’s assisting in addressing the shortage of housing in the Tweed.” Mayor Chris Cherry said the proposed Lalina Road development is a difficult one. “We need housing so desperately, but when we get an application like this, that is on an enclosed battle-axe lot, so the access is difficult and the potential to significantly impact on all the neighbouring houses is

so high, it just does not seem like a real effort has been made to try to work with the constraints of the site,” she said. “The development proposes 15 dwellings, 13 of them four-bedroom and two that are three-bedroom, and they are located all around the perimeter of the site so the whole concept just does not seem to match the land or the neighbourhood at all. “I am really disappointed that more changes were not made to this to try to design a development in keeping with the site and the area. “Residents surrounding the site have raised a lot of amenity issues in terms of privacy and overshadowing which have really not been addressed by the proposal. “Unfortunately, I think it is simply an overdevelopment of the site, I think construction costs are so high at the moment that it pushes proponents to try to go a bit over the top with what they are trying to fit on the site, but at the end of the day we need to ensure that we are still achieving good design, both for the surrounding residents and the future residents on the site.”

PLANS TO develop 15 townhouses on a battle-axe block at 11 Lalina Avenue in Tweed Heads West is being recommended for refusal during Tweed Shire Council’s monthly meeting this week. The $5.2-million proposal from Elkn Pty Ltd outlines plans to demolish the site’s existing structures and build 15 three to four-bedroom townhouses wedged between 22 other residential properties. Council’s report noted a range of non-compliance with the Tweed Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plan, stating the proposal is “indicative of an overdevelopment of the site”. “Any reconsideration of the application would require a substantial redesign of the proposal,” council’s report reads. “It is considered that development of this unique site is achievable with a design that has consideration for the site’s context and a reduction in the number of units. “Whilst it is acknowledged that there is an acute housing shortage locally and nationally, the current housing shortage should not be used to justify poor residential development outcomes that can have lasting impacts for existing residents and future occupants.” Council highlighted the applicant had submitted an application that was determined under officer delegation on June 5, 2023, and was refused due to a lack of detail in key areas. Cr Warren Polglase acknowledged the proposal appears to be an overdevelopment of the site, but he’s supportive of developing the site for crucial housing. “The compliance issues must be addressed in this application. However, I note the applicant has a right to appeal

Calls for holiday let crackdown By Jonathon Howard

End coming for pen and paper stat decs

THE CRACKDOWN on short-term holiday letting in the Tweed Shire is underway, says Councillor Nola Firth, who wants to call on the state government to give Tweed Shire Council control over shortterm housing. Short-term holiday letting is a global phenomenon that many believe is contributing to increased rents and in turn increased homelessness. While states such as Victoria are set to impose a short-term housing tax in the coming years, NSW is yet to firm up its position on the future of short-term holiday letting, such as, but not limited to, Airbnb. Councils are stepping up to limit shortterm holiday letting and Byron Shire Council are leading. “Our neighbouring shire of Byron, which has a similar affordable housing and rental availability shortage, has recently been granted a 60-day cap on such short-term accommodation,” Cr Firth wrote in her motion that is up for a vote at this month’s council meeting. “It is timely that Tweed Shire Council proceeds to request similar opportunity to control our short-term housing.” Councillor Firth will move that council notes there is a severe shortage of affordable housing and rental accommodation which is contributing to highly stressful situations including homelessness and lack of worker accommodation. The motion requests that council commences a “process towards enabling local control by council over short term housing and writes to the NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, the Hon. Paul Scully MP requesting our shire to

For hundreds of years people have had to sign statutory declarations in wet ink, but the end is coming for Commonwealth pen and paper stat decs as the legally ofﬁcial declarations join the digital age. The Federal government has introduced to parliament the Statutory Declarations Amendment Bill 2023, which allows Commonwealth stat decs to be executed validly in new ways, including electronically and by digital veriﬁcation through the use of a prescribed online platform. The Bill is expected to come into law in 2024. A stat dec is a written statement that the declarant asserts to be true. They are used to create reliable statements and attest to events for administrative, civil, commercial and private purposes, such as supporting an application for sick leave or applying for a government service. Lying in a stat dec is a criminal offence under section 11 of the Statutory Declarations Act 1959 and the maximum penalty is four years of imprisonment. People will still be able to sign a stat dec the traditional way, with pen and paper and an authorised person witnessing their signature. But, under the new legislation, they will also be able to use an electronic signature, or have an authorised person witness their signature via a video call. They can also be fully digitised, by using an approved digital identity service to verify the identity of the declarant, replacing a human witness.

The website 'Inside Airbnb' reports 6,860 Airbnb listings across the Northern Rivers

be considered for such control.” Cr Firth’s motion highlighted the struggles of individuals and families trying to find an affordable home and the large number of short-term holiday lets. “Within the shire there are around 1400 non-hosted short-term accommodation properties,” the motion reads. “These are free standing properties where the host does not also reside on the property. “These properties could potentially contribute to ameliorating this dire situation by becoming long-term rental homes rather than holiday accommodation.” Mayor Cherry told The Weekly she is pleased that Cr Firth has brought this motion forward. “We have received a petition with 150 signatories asking us to advocate to the state government to try to get local control over short-term holiday letting (STHL) in our shire,” she said. “I think there is a general recognition in the community that using so many of our homes for STHL is having a significant impact on our available and affordable housing, and unless there is a way to

control that, we may never get on top of the severe housing shortage gripping our shire. Never reach a point again where our children can afford to own their own home in our shire. Mayor Cherry said during the Local Government NSW conference in Sydney this week, councillors from across NSW, including Tweed, heard from housing expert Professor Peter Phibbs from Sydney University who said we need to reduce the growth of STHL if we want to help deliver more housing right now into the market. “The current state government is now conducting a review into the STHL legislation and I think acknowledges the major disruption STHL has had on the planned provision of housing in many councils,” Mayor Cherry said. “When we allow every house to be used as a business, we lose homes for our families, homes for our key workers and homes for our students. It’s time to get a better balance.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you own a short-term holiday let? The Weekly would like to hear your thoughts and letters via editor@theweekly.net.au

Students march for climate

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus told parliament this will save time and money, as small to medium businesses spend many hours executing more than 3.8 million statutory declarations and could save $156 million per year.

TWEED SHIRE students are set to march for greater action on climate change at Knox Park in Murwillumbah on Friday, November 17, from 11am. March organiser and passionate climate activist Audrey O’Donnell-Parr told The Weekly all school students and community members are invited to take action for our Earth at this “peaceful protest so we, the future generations, have a more environmentally sustainable future to walk into”. “Join us to demand a climate safe future

However, Taylor Kennedy at Stacks Law Firm says there are concerns the move to digital stat decs could diminish the reliability and respect for the legal standing of the statutory declaration. “Not having an authorised witness such as a justice of the peace when signing a stat dec removes that important step which ensures the person knows what they are signing, and the consequences of lying in the declaration,” Ms Kennedy said.

as part of the national School Strike 4 Climate event, which is expected to attract thousands of students across Australia,” she said. “People are coming from far and wide to Murwillumbah to join the movement, demanding that the federal government #ShiftThePower away from the fossil fuel industry.” Ms O’Donnell-Parr said the federal government has approved nine mines in the last 12 months and given $9 million in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, “and

“It could lead to a person being coerced or pressured to sign, when they may not fully comprehend the consequences of what they are doing. “On the other hand, digital stat decs will make it much easier to submit a stat dec if living remotely or when overseas.

yet we are in the most critical time for climate action”. “As a result of federal apathy, school students must take to the streets valuing their future, all of our futures, over school and be the real leaders in this climate crisis,” she said. “School students are united by our concern for the future of the planet that we live in, we have bridged the thousands of kilometres that separates us to create one of the biggest movements in Australian history,” the website reads.

Protecting precious osprey in the Tweed This November, Council is shining a spotlight on one of the Tweed’s favourite top-order predators – the osprey, listed as vulnerable to extinction in NSW. To help educate the community about the local osprey population, Council has launched a new webpage and online StoryMap – a tool which provides an informative, fun and interactive way for residents and kids to engage and learn about these amazing birds. Ospreys are integral to biodiversity in estuarine ecosystems and their presence in waterways can be an indicator of good waterway health. Council’s Team Leader Coast and Waterways Tom Alletson said working to protect the local osprey population has been a focus for many years. “Ospreys in the Tweed are much admired and cherished by locals and tourists alike," Mr Alletson said. “Council is working to ensure ospreys are secure in the wild,

their habitat is protected and restored and they remain an iconic member of our community for future generations.” Council is also urging the community to help the local osprey population in 3 ways: • Dispose of fishing line and tackle responsibly • Help monitor nest sites during breeding season from March to November – contact via Council’s website at tweed.nsw.gov.au/osprey • Protect and rehabilitate estuarine osprey habitat for future generations via Council’s River Health Grants scheme at tweed.nsw.gov.au/rivers-creeks Protecting the Tweed Coast osprey population is one way Council is looking after the Tweed’s environment for future generations to enjoy. To learn more about the osprey, visit the new StoryMap interactive site or find out how you can volunteer to monitor nesting sites, visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/osprey

Recreation Ground playground on track to open by Christmas Work on the exciting new playground upgrade at Recreation Ground, Tweed Heads is progressing well with the new play equipment now installed. The swings and bouldering wall are now in place with a new public toilet to be installed next week.

Work on the upgrade to the park and playground at Recreation Ground is getting closer to completion with much of the playground equipment now installed.

The park and playground are expected to reopen in time for Christmas (weather permitting) and the upgrade will make it more welcoming and accessible for everyone to enjoy. The upgraded park will include a new public toilet, play equipment for 2 to 12-year-olds, swings, nature play with teepee, bouldering wall, basketball key, built shade structure, accessible barbecues, picnic setting and seating, landscaping and additional tree planting. This exciting project is one way Council is providing our community with more opportunities to be active and healthy and even more reasons to love the Tweed. Council received a $200,000 grant from the NSW Government’s Everyone Can Play program to upgrade Recreation Ground to be more inclusive of everyone, which will be matched by Council. An additional $400,000 in funding has also been received from the NSW Government’s Regional Housing Fund for youth recreation facilities and park facilities. For more information about the project, visit yoursaytweed.com.au/recreationground or contact Council’s Parks and Active Communities team on 02 6670 2400.

It’s the last chance to register for the free Community Action Network forum to be held this Saturday morning (18 November) at Kingscliff Community Hall. The workshop will explore the actions we can take as individuals to reduce our electricity use (and bills), as well as supporting our friends and communities in steps towards sustainable, renewable energy and how we might influence the broader community and leaders for climate action. All welcome and morning tea is provided. Registrations essential at tweed.nsw.gov.au/climate-change

Tom Murray enjoys a chair yoga class at the 2023 festival.

Local organisations have until 30 November to register their events to feature in next year’s Tweed Seniors Festival, which will take place from Monday 11 to Sunday 24 March 2024 across the region. The Tweed Seniors Festival celebrates the role and contributions older people make to our community and runs as part of the NSW Seniors Festival, which is the largest celebration of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Next year’s festival theme is ‘Reach Beyond’ which encourages older people to seek out new experiences and make new friends by participating in planned festivities – and beyond. Organisations are encouraged to think of ways they can engage with seniors in the community during the festival – and perhaps offer a discount for seniors to try out their classes or programs. Events can be registered up until Thursday 30 November. Some event ideas that have been a hit in the past include concerts, lunches and special classes or leisure activities – even tours or exhibitions. Events during the festival will be included for free in the 2024 Tweed Shire Seniors Festival program and published in the Tweed Link. To register an event for the 2024 Seniors Festival, visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/seniors-festival or contact Lyn Porter on 07 5569 3110 or communityservices@tweed. nsw.gov.au

National Recycling Week: what goes around comes around It’s National Recycling Week, a perfect time to remind us about the importance of recycling and using our yellow kerbside bins the right way. Last year some 8,500 tonnes of material were collected from our yellow bins across the Tweed. The good news is, instead of heading to landfill, this material goes on to be recycled into other new products or materials. The not so good news is, not everything collected is recyclable. Items such as plastic bags and food waste in our yellow bins contaminate the rest of the material. Our biggest problem across the Tweed is plastic bags in our recycling bins. Never bag your recycling. Keep it lose and keep it simple. Only items on this list belong in your yellow bin: • Hard plastic bottles and containers • Steel and aluminium cans • Clean paper and cardboard (including long-life cartons) • Glass bottles and jars. You also need to: • Wipe or rinse out food and drink from containers • Remove all lids and kiss goodbye to anything smaller than a credit card (they belong in the red bin). If you have any items you’re unsure about, Council has a handy online tool, Waste Wizard. Simply tell it what item you want to put in a bin and it will tell you which bin it belongs in.

Keep an eye out for Miconia Did you know that Miconia (Miconia calvescens) is one of the biggest threats to our rainforests? Since 2003 our Weed Biosecurity Officers have searched thousands of hectares of private and public land, removing almost 200 individual plants from the environment. Miconia is a tree growing up to 15 m tall and has a superficial root system which may cause landslides. It shades out the native forest understorey and threatens endemic species with extinction. Mature trees can flower and fruit three times per year producing up to 5 million seeds which can remain viable for up to 16 years.

Miconia is listed as a prevention weed in the North Coast Regional Strategic Weed Management Plan and is prohibited matter under the Biosecurity Act 2015. For more information visit WeedWise weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/Miconia

During the 1970s and 80s it was a popular ornamental plant sold in Qld and NSW. Since 2010 an eradication program has removed all known Miconia plants in the Lismore City, Byron and Tweed Shire council areas. However, seedlings continue to be found during regular extensive searches in the Far North Coast Region.

Cudgen masterplan Continued from page 3 ...

Cr Owen said the general manager should write to NSW Premier Chris Minns, NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully, NSW Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman, NSW Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Scott Farlow and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest. Councillor Warren Polglase said he was impressed by the scope of the research and data released. He acknowledged the state significant farmland status (SSF) of the site but agreed that the site was not viable for farming. “I believe the science that’s been accumulated on this site so far demonstrates that it’s not SSF,” he said. “I will support Cudgen Connection on this site. It’s right next door to the hospital and offers a solution at no cost to council.

“There are also community benefits in the form of the community centre, the accommodation precinct and the private hospital. “It’s about time that we as elected members reveal what we believe, we need to show leadership and the benefits, it’s no good pussyfooting around as we have done in the past. “This development is a precinct that will deliver greater health services and accommodation to assist the facilities.” In response to those residents calling on the company to build on another site, Cr Polglase asked where is there another suitable and accessible site in the Tweed? YOUR THOUGHTS: Would you support this development? Please send your thoughts or letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

Derelict club fire again By Jo Kennett

FIREFIGHTERS ARE frustrated that callouts to the derelict former Terranora Country Club in Bilambil Heights are keeping them away from potentially life-threatening fires and are asking for the public’s assistance. Fire and Rescue NSW Banora Point firefighters were called to a rubbish fire in the abandoned club on Sunday morning, November 12. “It looked like it was a rubbish fire in the bay area,” Deputy Captain Jamie Bowe said. “Most of the time we get called there it’s usually just a rubbish fire and the actual building isn’t on fire. “We get called up there a lot. We’ve been twice in the last two weeks and overall we have been going there for years.

“It’s just a hindrance to local firefighters, for example when we were there yesterday, Fire and Rescue Kingscliff had to go all the way to West Tweed for an incident instead of us who were nearby. “It takes us away from more serious fires.” Deputy Captain Bowe said the clubhouse has fencing around but people are still getting through. “I don’t know who is doing it,” he said. “We’d like locals to be vigilant and report any trespassing they see to the police. “It’s private land and likely trespassers are going in and starting the fires.” He said that if residents do think they see a fire, they should always call Triple 000 because “it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

The peaceful motel gets top reviews for its views over the river and amazing location

Emergency at motel By Jo Kennett

THERE WAS more mayhem in Murwillumbah on Monday morning, November 14, but it turned out to be a couple of medical incidents and not the sort of police dramas that have been playing out around town lately. Locals were wondering if there was a siege or a hold-up when multiple police vehicles and ambulances descended on a Tweed Valley Way motel near Condong. Tweed Valley Motel owner Bob Deer said they were unfortunate to have three medical incidents with guests at the same time. “As a result I don’t know whether there was some confusion,” Bob told The Weekly. “I didn’t call the police, I just called the ambulances. “The police might have wondered what was going on because there were two calls for ambulances within a couple of minutes of each other.” Tweed Police told Bob they just attended to make sure everything was okay. “There were three people involved (two guests in one room and another in a different room) but only one was taken to hospital,” he said. “I haven’t been told what happened to the other two, but they didn’t go to hospital and police weren’t pressing any charges and said

there was nothing for them here. “I spoke to the man that went to hospital. He was released last night and said he had a lung infection which caused a medical problem.” Bob was surprised how many emergency service vehicles turned up after his calls. “I reckon I saw three ambulances and that surprised me,” he said. “People were ringing up asking what was going on; I think they put it up on Murwillumbah Matters (Facebook page). “Early on, just after the police and ambulance got here, three emergency vehicles went flying past heading into town and I was thinking, there was plenty of action going on. “I reckon they overshot and came back and I think the fact that there were two emergency calls two or three minutes apart to Triple Zero was what got people concerned.” Bob and his family moved from a sleepy town in country Victoria to Murwillumbah 25 years ago. He said his kids thought when they moved there that there were plenty of dramas and action in town. “The servo next door (Liberty, recently the scene of an attempted armed hold-up) reckoned we were trying to outdo them with their robbery,” he said. “We have a lot of excitement. This is Murwillumbah.”

THE TWEED’S tourism excellence was on show in Sydney on Wednesday, November 8, with three gold award wins at the state’s most coveted industry awards event, the NSW Tourism Awards. Taking out the top honours were Potager – A Kitchen Garden, winning for a second year running in the Tourism Restaurants and Catering Services category; Husk Farm Distillery in the Tourism Wineries, Distilleries, and Breweries category; and The Tweed Tourism Company awarded gold for Tourism Marketing & Campaigns. Also recognised at the gala awards event was Tweed Eco Cruises, taking out silver in the Tour and Transport Operators category and Berger Houseboat Holidays, a finalist in the Unique Accommodation category. Tweed Tourism Company General Manager Sally Scott said the sweep of wins were “a celebration of the hard work, innovation and tenacity of the region’s tourism businesses.” “We are incredibly proud of all the Tweed tourism businesses that were recognised at this year’s NSW Tourism Awards and, along with Potager and Husk Farm Distillery, were thrilled to be recognised with a gold award on the night. “Our Tweed winners and finalists should be proud of achieving excellence not only for their ow n b u s i n e s s e s but for also representing the whole region at a state level and helping to lift the profile and reputation of our collective tourism industry.”

Potager owner Peter Burr said their second win in a row “was a wonderful validation for all the hard work of the Potager team in delivering exceptional visitor experiences.” Husk Distillery owners said their win was a testament to the hard work and vision of the entire team at Husk Farm. “We hope this award will give us more opportunity to bring people together on our farm in the beautiful Tweed Valley and showcase the region, our unique Ink Gin, and the sustainable connection between Husk Rum and the land.” The wins come on the back of the success of Bistro Livi and Pipit at the Good Food Guide 2024 awards. Murwillumbah’s Bistro Livi won the prestigious Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2024 Regional Restaurant of the Year for a regional restaurant in NSW and the ACT and was also awarded two hats. Alice Dw yer of Pipit in Pottsville won the Good Food Guide 2023 Oceania Cruises Service Excellence Award. “The SMH Good Food Awards are a bit like the Oscars of Australian food,” Pipit business manager Yen Trinh said. “We got two hats and won Regional Restaurant last year, so it’s nice to see Livi join the two hat club this year. “The Service Excellence Award for Alice was especially important and meaningful too because great food and dining is nothing without service.”

Mayday mayhem By Jo Kennett

A FISHERMAN who had engine trouble miles out to sea off Tweed Heads on Wednesday, November 8, got his distress signals mixed up, resulting in a flotilla of rescue vessels and a rescue helicopter racing to the scene thinking his life was in danger. Tweed Heads Water Police joined Marine Rescue Point Danger in the multi-agency marine search and rescue response following a mayday call received by the Volunteer Marine Rescue Seaway Tower at Southport. The mayday indicated the vessel in distress was approximately eight nautical miles east of Tweed Heads. The response included Marine Rescue NSW Point Danger, Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service Queensland and Volunteer Marine Rescue Southport. The Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter successfully located the vessel at approximately 11.20 am and directed the Tweed Heads Marine Area Command vessel Macquarie to the disabled

boat. The vessel was taken under tow safely into Tweed Heads. Marine Area Command is reminding skippers that a mayday call relates to imminent danger to the vessel and passengers, while a pan-pan distress call is used when a vessel requires urgent assistance but is not in imminent danger. The next day, Marine Rescue Point Danger provided a tow back to Tweed Heads for a pair of fishermen who also had engine troubles. The crew of Point Danger 31 went to the aid of the 6.5-metre-long centre console vessel after their watch officer Graham pinpointed the vessel in distress at 12 nautical miles offshore utilising a distressed vessel (DV) locate tool. The DV was engineered by Lake Macquarie Marine Rescue volunteer Matt Dorhauer and allows the rescuers immediate access to a vessel’s location with a simple reply to a text message.

Potty mum’s book on ‘me time’ By Jo Kennett

Little Souls Wellness Centre is a multi-disciplinary Allied Health hub with offices in Tweed Heads and Bangalow. Providing a positive and warm environment where parents, children and individuals feel supported and uplifted.

FOR LOCAL mothers silently pleading for more time to themselves, one Pottsville mum may have the answer, and her book on the subject, A Mother’s Space: Permission to Pause, is getting plenty of praise. Te h l a J a n e B owe r s p e n t t e n ye a r s experimenting and having conversations with hundreds of mothers to find fresh solutions to the obstacles faced when attempting to have alone time. A Mother’s Space: Permission to Pause offers the motivation needed to dedicate personal space to wellbeing and self-nourishment so craved by mums. “As a mother of two (aged 12 and nine years) I have spent the past decade researching and experimenting with spacious opportunities in motherhood,” Tehla said. “My findings offer practical solutions for timepoor mothers that are realistic and achievable. “My book presents these findings in an accessible format and speaks directly to the many mothers who are silently pleading for more alone time, but have no idea how or where to start.” Tehla said mums need guilt-free space for selfcare, “not once in a blue moon but every day.”

“It’s time for the ‘space blockers’ such as guilt, self-worth, identity, relationship stress and career angst to take a back seat,” she said. “Prioritising meaningful alone time that is uplifting and purposeful can take as little as fifteen minutes per day, and can make the world of difference to a mother’s self-esteem and satisfaction levels.” The State of Motherhood Survey revealed that around 70 per cent of mums have less than one hour of solo time per day that was not family or work oriented. “Mothers are craving solutions to this issue – A Mother’s Space: Permission to Pause provides this,” Tehla said. Tehla has been getting rave reviews for her book. Award-winning journalist and author Amy Molloy said it is “a beautiful book about how to find small pockets of time in your life as a mother for self-care.” “This book is a powerful reminder to mothers to fill up our own cups more often. Reading it alone gives you permission to do this on a regular basis without guilt,” Maritza Barone, host of wellbeing podcast Things You Can’t Un-hear, wrote. A Mother’s Space: Permission to Pause is available from bookstores.

CONSTRUCTION OF the main hospital building for the new Tweed Valley Hospital is nearing completion, but talk across town is the concern for potential traffic jams once the new hospital opens in 2024. Health Infrastructure told The Weekly it is confident the traffic management plan is solid, as it puts the final touches on parts of the building this month and in December. “The multi-deck car park was completed in early November, and the Health Hub and Learning Development and Research Centre buildings are due for completion in December 2023,” the spokesperson said. “With the substantial completion of buildings on the hospital site, the focus of activities is currently on finalising the external works, including landscaping and road works. “The Northern NSW Local Health District and Health Infrastructure have worked with a transport engineering consultant (Bitzios), Transport for NSW, Surfside Buslines (now Kinetic), TAFE NSW, Tweed Shire Council and the Queensland State Government on a precinct-wide transport and access plan for the area surrounding the Tweed Valley Hospital. “This plan considers community and public transport, traffic flows and volumes including peak times, car parking amenity, walking and cycling tracks.” Several Tweed Coast residents have told The Weekly the influx of patients, visitors and staff to the hospital could create a daily traffic jam in peak times. In response, the spokesperson said Health Infrastructure is confident in the traffic assessments that were completed during the planning stages of the new hospital and considers peak hour traffic movements. “During construction there have been up to 550 workers accessing the hospital site each day,” the spokesperson said.

“By comparison, when the hospital opens it is anticipated that there will be around 350 staff on the hospital campus during peak day shifts, which commence at varying times throughout the day. “Tweed Shire Council is currently rolling out the duplication of Tweed Coast Road, which includes the section of road from the M1 leading to the hospital site. “This is in addition to the duplication of Cudgen Road and improvements to the Cudgen Road and Tweed Coast Road intersection as part of the hospital development’s scope.” The spokesperson said the Tweed Valley Hospital campus will have a total of 1,200 car parking spaces on opening, including accessible and short-term parking bays. “This is a significant increase from the 230 parking bays on the existing Tweed Hospital site,” the spokesperson said. “The majority of these car parks will be in the new multi-deck car park, which includes dedicated staff parking, electronic vehicle charging stations for staff, and end of trip facilities that are designed to support people who cycle, jog or walk to work. “In July 2023, the NSW Government confirmed that car parking on the Tweed Valley Hospital campus will be free.”

Health Infrastructure says it's confident in its traffic assessment plan for the new hospital

Optus has come under intense scrutiny following a major outage due to a software update

Optus outage outrage

90810

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED BUSINESSES impacted by the Optus outage on Wednesday, November 8, to Thursday, November 9, are being encouraged to contact their Optus account manager. The Optus outage impacted an estimated 10 million people and hundreds of businesses across the country last week, including many Tweed Shire residents. Optus customers were offered additional data packages as compensation for the outage, which has further outraged residents with the offer labelled as a token gesture. “I just wish Optus would give me a little refund as we never use all the data we have on our plan anyway,” said one resident via social media. “I won’t use the extra data they’re giving when I don’t use what we already have.” Several other Tweed residents agreed with the above comment and stressed that many Optus users have unlimited data anyway. “This is what I got from Optus (data package), I’m on a prepaid month to month and I never use all my data,” another comment online read. “Clearly they could only give unlimited on the weekends, what a joke, thanks for nothing Optus.” Another comment outlined the concerns for businesses who rely on internet. “What about businesses relying on their internet that day that lost hundreds or thousands of dollars?” one resident questioned online. “A pathetic data gift is an absolute joke to them.”

The Weekly took these and other concerns to the Optus media team, including asking what happened to cause the outage. An Optus spokesperson said the outage was caused by a network shutdown in the company’s core network after a software update. “In common with major global telecommunication networks, the Optus network is designed with multiple layers of fallback and redundancy,” the Optus spokesperson said. “At the heart of this is a modern intelligent router network developed with the world’s leading vendors. “Despite this, a network event yesterday triggered a cascading failure which resulted in the shutdown of services to our customers.” Regarding compensation, The Weekly questioned whether Optus feels the data offer to its Northern NSW customers is adequate following such a broad sweeping outage and subsequent disruption. “We understand some businesses were uniquely impacted and encourage any with concerns to contact their Optus account manager or Optus Business Centre,” the spokesperson said. “For all other business customers, message us anytime in My Optus app — which remains the easiest way to contact Optus — or call Business Care 13 33 43.” The Weekly asked Optus if it could outline actions to prevent this type of outage in the future? “Our engineers are investigating thoroughly and we will learn from this outage and continue to improve,” the Optus spokesperson said.

Deaf writers workshop a first Overgrown trees WHAT IS believed to be one of the first deaf writers workshops in Australia was recently held at Crystal Creek, with participants, facilitators and interpreters saying it was an amazing experience. Melaina Faranda — the author of over fifty books and a writing teacher — facilitated the weekend workshop organised by Auslan interpreter Michelle Maguire. “Michelle attends my creative writing courses and we got talking about how powerful it could be to run a writing course specifically for deaf people,” Melaina said. “Michelle has been working in the deaf community for over thirty years as a professional Auslan interpreter and she also hosts bespoke retreats for the deaf. “Being a person who loves language, I was fascinated by her explanations of Auslan. I learned that people born deaf with English as a second language often think in sign language, not words. “Having worked as a teacher for three decades, I rely on verbal feedback; there’s a circuitry and momentum created, so I was nervous. I honestly didn’t know what it would be like teaching without that verbal feedback. To my delight it was an extraordinary experience. “Michelle or Dan interpreted in a way in which it felt like I was in direct communication with the participants, who were full of animation, excitement, and gratitude for being in a space where they were able to share deeper stories and be encouraged and taught how to become writers. “I came away teary with gratitude for the privilege of being allowed into these people’s rich and diverse experiences, and a space of such mutual warmth, humour, and receptivity. “What we did was incredibly rare. There

was a pioneering feeling in the room that right here in the heart of the Murwillumbah area we are changing things.” Michelle was born to deaf parents, and has two deaf siblings. “I grew up with Auslan; English is my second language,” Michelle said. “Auslan isn’t flowery like English, but is a very rich and expressive language, so beautiful and poetic. “My father had a low level of English literacy but was a master storyteller in his own language. “He would paint stories using Auslan and deaf people would gather around and be mesmerised by his visual storytelling. “I’m nervous before any retreat, but I was especially so this time because my courses tend to be very hands-on, creative and practical, for instance do-it-yourself skincare or art lessons — but nothing to do with writing and literacy.” Michelle said they are hoping to self-publish an anthology of the participants’ work next year. Ida Rogers, a local deaf participant, said that Melaina, Michelle and Dan did a great job. “I’m an adult educator myself, I’ve been teaching adults for 21 years, and Melaina was absolutely excellent in the information she shared and the way she acknowledged our concerns and worked with us,” Ida said. “We usually don’t get that kind of attention from a teacher so I just give big claps for Melaina. “I was surprised with my creative writing. I’ve written a lot, but not with my deaf peers. “Dan and Michelle are both native signers so that helps a lot and they did a fantastic job.” Ida said the education system has “com-

pletely failed” deaf people in Australia. “Many deaf people are fluent in Auslan or other signed languages but usually come from families that are hearing and don’t know sign language, so there is a delay in the deaf person developing their language, which means their literacy skills are very delayed,”she said. “I am a third-generation deaf person and so generations of my family had terrible educations, which is why I wanted to become a teacher and change things in whatever ways I can. “Deaf people have been waiting to tell our stories but no one has ever been interested so hopefully that’s going to change. “When the workshop ended I felt like, OMG. I drove home under a full moon and everything was perfect. It was excellent and we need to be able to do this again.” Melaina and Michelle will be running a course in April next year. Melaina also runs courses for hearing writers, and her next will be on Monday nights in Murwillumbah from January 29 to February 29, 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

A PETITION containing 37 signatures titled “Fire Hazard Scenic Drive” will be discussed by councillors during their monthly meeting on Thursday, November 16. The petition is calling on Tweed Shire Council to investigate the removal or control of the overgrown camphor laurel trees and vegetation, which residents say has been neglected along Scenic Drive for a “very long time and is evident by the size of the trees that have grown”. “We would appreciate mitigating action by council to remove all these large trees and overgrown vegetation to reduce the impact a fire in our area would have,” the petition reads. “Given the proximity of the massive trees on council land to houses on the lower side of Karingal Avenue (some just metres away from existing structures), we would request council to control and remove the overgrown vegetation that runs below our properties to Scenic Drive. “Ironically, some of the largest trees on council land are camphor laurels that contain a volatile oil and are commune growing, and recognised as a weed in the Noxious Weed Act. “We would appreciate it if all these trees were removed along with the other overgrown vegetation.” The Weekly took the petition and concerns to council staff for more input and Council’s Director of Sustainable Communities and Environment Naomi Searle provided the following response. “Council will need to refer the matter to the NSW Rural Fire Service to assess the level of bushfire risk these trees may pose,” Ms Searle said. “Advice provided will guide any action council may take.”

MAKE A PLAN: CCR Kamala at a recent Plan C training workshop

By Jo Kennett

McGuiness Funerals

NORTHERN RIVERS organisation Plan C is conducting its final round of free disaster readiness training in Murwillumbah, starting this Saturday, November 18. With uncertainty over funding beyond this year, this may be your last chance to participate in the popular Community Carers and Responders (CCR) training. CCR participants receive comprehensive training in disaster management, community building, and emergency communication. The three-day program runs over November 18 and 24, ending on December 2 from 9am to 5pm. Attendees also attend separate first aid and psychological first aid training days, all at no cost. “At Plan C, we empower individuals and communities to take action,” lead trainer and CEO Jean Renouf, who has experience in disaster relief around the world, said.

Helps you relax and feel great!

“Our approach focuses on the positive actions and changes that individuals and communities can make to build resilience together.” Plan C has already trained over 55 CCRs in the Tweed since the 2022 floods, resulting in various community projects, including risk reduction plans and community-building events. Pottsville Community-led Resilience Team Leader Melanie Crowe said that apart from learning about disaster resilience, the training helped her network with like-minded individuals in Pottsville and across the Northern Rivers. “Together Pottsville is almost entirely made up of CCRs,” Melanie said. “It’s been incredibly beneficial to be a part of the CCR network” Tweed Shire residents are invited to become part of this collective effort to strengthen community bonds, prepare for future challenges, and support each other.

LONGTIME LOCAL and passionate Tweed Palliative Support manager Edna Gorton OAM is celebrating her 90th birthday today (Thursday, November 16). Edna is a local treasure to the Tweed and is going strong in her role managing the Tweed Pallative Support Second-hand Store on Queen Street. “I absoluately love it here,” she told The Weekly about her work. “It’s a wonderful team and I enjoy every minute of it.”

There’s expected to be plenty of celebrations throughout Edna’s day. “I was a little shocked to get a photo in the paper as I wasn’t prepared,” she said. Edna said she has no plans on retiring just yet. “No, I still love it here, I’d be here everyday if I could,” she said. Tweed Palliative Support president Meredith Dennis OAM said she wanted to wish Edna a happy 90th birthday and heaped praise on her work at the store. “She’s the lifeblood of that store — Edna is amazing and is a local icon!” she said. “She’s been at the store for 15 years.”

with Robert Hawken

CONDONG MILL’S crushing and harvesting concluded on Thursday, November 2, which was a very early finish for the season. This was due to a smaller crop, only 80 per cent of what is average, and also due to the extended fine, dry weather conditions and excellent mill performance. Our area’s eight harvesters cut a total of 399,137.58 tonnes of cane with an average CCS of 12.15 and ash of 1.8 per cent. Because of the early finish, we can expect a significantly better crop next year as the ratoons (regrowth) and plant cane will have a lengthened growing season. The recent rain has been very welcome and will give the young cane a big boost. With warmer weather the crop will really grow well and growers will concentrate on fertilising, as well as grass and weed control for the next several weeks. The north coast is one of the few farming areas in NSW with reliable average rainfall and is acknowledged as a significant agricultural area with a high contribution to the state and national economies, particularly in times when other regions are in severe drought, so it is important that local, state and federal governments consider this in their planning policies. It is now twelve months since the formation of the NSW Farmers’ Far North Coast Branch. The NSW Farmers’ Association is a very broad-based organisation that represents all primary industries in NSW. They do so in a very professional way, interacting with government departments, politicians and various local

government and community groups and other farming-based organisations. Our local branch continues to attract new members as farmers become aware of the need for a strong voice of advocacy on behalf of rural industries. Several canegrowers have joined as well as cattle producers and horticulturalists. The increasing pressures on primary producers and rural communities in general cause a lot of uncertainty about the sustainability of agriculture and we need a united voice more than ever to keep Australian farmers farming and ensure food and fibre are produced in Australia for the long term. Anyone interested in joining the NSW Farmers’ Association should visit: nswfarmers.org.au for more information. It’s National Ag Day on Friday, November 17, with the theme, ‘Grow you good thing!’. The day expresses admiration for Australian farmers as they manage the challenges of climate, pests and fluctuations in markets to grow world-class food and fibre. For more information and to get involved in gratitude for farmers log on to agday. org.au The recent Murwillumbah Show was a great success and it was good to see so many exhibits in the sugar cane section. I extend my thanks to the Tweed River Agricultural Society and sponsors of the event and congratulate all involved. Until next month, work safe and stay well. Best wishes to all Tweed Valley Weekly readers, Rob Hawken

Cane harvest wraps up THE SUGAR cane crushing season has come to end with the Broadwater Mill crushing the last of the 2023 crop. The last bin was tipped at 3.45pm on Friday, November 3, which took the annual crop for the Richmond River to 307,546 tonnes. The Harwood Mill was the first to finish the year after crushing 404,799 tonnes of cane by 2.30am on Monday, October 23. At Condong the mill finished crushing for the season on Thursday, November 2, at 10.21am, having crushed a total of 398,760 tonnes. The 2023 season has been another year of mixed emotions as the region continues to work through crop recovery and decreased sugar supply. Whilst a lengthy dry period made for ideal harvesting conditions and encouraged higher than average CCS (sugar content) across all areas, it also created drier than ideal conditions for early planting. The dry did delay planting of new crops for some growers keen to boost their production area and take advantage of the record high prices on offer. The rain that came in late October and early November, however, has provided a promising injection of moisture for both the ratoon crops and new plantings. Sunshine Sugar CEO Mr Chris Connors said the positive outlook for sugar prices is playing

a key role in sustaining the NSW sugar industry as it continues to rebuild from the flood events of 2022. “Whilst the 2023 season was a short one, we were prepared for it and had put measures in place to safeguard and support our growers and our business,” he said. “We did this by supplementing our raw sugar stocks with supply from Queensland to maintain production in our refinery, which in turn has enabled us to maintain sales to our domestic customers.” Looking ahead, more crops are coming online as growers replant, and in some cases, expand their cropping area. As such, the three local sugar mills expect to see a much longer season next year as these new crops come online. The NSW sugar industry has a track record spanning more than 150 years. Mr Connors highlighted the resilience demonstrated by local sugar cane growers and the industry as a whole continues to resonate across the Northern Rivers. “As increased production and higher prices see the industry go from strength to strength and demonstrate its ongoing capacity to generate jobs and income into the future,” he said.

Principal’s moving armistice tribute

HANDMADE & viNTAGE stalls SKATE & Adventure park MUSIC & STREET FOOD PLANTS & PRODUCE pet friendly 100 stalls

By Rachel Watkins, Principal of Uki Public School

E MARK

WHY DO we have a special assembly to acknowledge Remembrance Day? To answer this, let’s try to imagine what it might have been like to be surrounded by war all those years ago. Many of the battlefields in 1918 were in northern Europe, which is very cold in November. Many thousands of men were in trenches which are like big, long holes in the ground. The trenches were full of mud and freezing cold. Many of the men were sick or injured. In some ways, I think the worst part would have been the noise. The constant sound of enormous canon fire, explosions and machine gun fire. Many of the men in the trenches were very young, and I think it must have been terrifying to have been surrounded, constantly, day and night, by this huge awful noise. Imagine if it were you. So imagine how it must have been when at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, all that noise stopped. There was a ceasefire. No more heavy artillery. No more explosions. No more canon fire. Just silence. And in that silence, when the fighting stopped, the soldiers would have gradually been able to hear other sounds, such as birds singing, the wind blowing, people talking to each other, maybe even whistling. Right now, some people in the world are experiencing war. Later in our assembly, we will have a minute’s silence. During that minute, I would like to invite you just to think about how anybody involved in war would want to have an armistice

Principal Rachel Watkins gave a moving speech at 11am on November 11, which marks the end of World War I

— to have the fighting finish. To do that, we can listen to the sounds of our everyday life in the village. People walking, cars driving, maybe some music, maybe some birds singing. Because these are the sounds of peace. These are the sounds of life without war and conflict, and we’re so lucky to hear those sounds, and not others. And I think, maybe, those young soldiers in the trenches in the First World War, and in every conflict since then, may just think that all the terrible fear and the hardship they endured would be worth it, for them to know that we here in Uki are now able to hear the sounds of peace. No explosions. No canons, no guns. Normal life. Not fighting, but peace, which is what every single soldier desperately wanted. This is what happened at 11am on the 11th day of November 1918, and this is why it’s so important for us to acknowledge this day with our special assembly.

From the Farm with Craig Huff NSW Farmers - Far North Coast Branch

Keep Farmers Farming

farmers are already trying to absorb an estimated $100 million to manage the nation’s biosecurity risk with mandatory additional identification of livestock. Farmers already make a massive contribution to biosecurity. As the burdens placed on farming by governments continue to increase and local farming becomes less and less viable, it is little wonder local food clean food options are less and less available in supermarkets, with more and more Chinese imports. Based on ag pesticide management practices observed in Asia, they are not a very attractive option. What is desperately needed is effective policies to strengthen and increase the sustainability of agriculture in our area. This will support clean local food security and importantly help the environment by minimising food miles.

LAST WEEK the NFF (National Farmers’ Federation) with the full support of the NSW Farmers Association launched ‘Keep Farmers Farming” (keepfarmersfarming.org.au/). This campaign lists some key policy challenges and is designed to bring awareness to governments at all levels that the current rollout of existing and developing policy burdening farmers is simply not sustainable. An example is the current proposal by the federal government to take aim at farmers specifically, and tax them by way of additional levy payments under the label of a “biosecurity levy”. This demonstrates the depth of the lack of understanding. There seems to be a misconception that farmers can pass these costs on, but the fact that farmers are price takers (unable to pass on costs like many businesses) and must absorb these costs has not been considered. Biosecurity benefits the whole of the community. Australian food consumers are the ultimate beneficiaries. For example, after the failed management of varroa mite impacting the bee industry, Australian consumers, like the rest of the world, will not have an option to purchase chemical free honey as the mite spreads across the nation. The mite entered Newcastle in an imported container, but the importers (mostly larger corporations) are not considered for contribution to the biosecurity risk they create on a daily basis. The easier targets are small business farming families who will burden by these additional taxes. As the leadership of NSW Farmers have recently pointed out, asking farmers to carry the biosecurity cost actually penalises the principal victims. James Jackson, director of NSW Farmers put it this way, “what sort of bizarre world taxes victims, specifically to fund the police?” At a time of drought and low livestock prices,

The Jazz Kings NICOLE PARKER BROWN and The Jazz Kings are an eclectic band that produces a blend of beautiful jazz and Latin music that enlivens audiences and will be performing at the Condong Bowling Club on Friday, November 24. The inspiring artists all have an exceptional background in music production as performers and entertainers that create tunes that come straight from the heart. Although jazz is their main genre, they have an extensive blues and swing repertoire which has been demonstrated at many festivals and venues including Jumpers and Jazz Warwick, The Brisbane Jazz Club, The Tedder Ave Flower Festival, CSI Southport, Twin Towns, and many jazz clubs and corporate events. They are also booked on the Bravo Performing Arts Cruise sailing out of Sydney in October 2024. Jose McLaughlin (Gerry and the Pacemak-

ers), has joined The Jazz Kings and the band are currently in the studio to record their second album. With a planned release of the album in January 2024, it will have “a touch of the blues” as well as some new jazz arrangements and a couple of originals by the renowned Peter Uppman. Vocalist Nicole Parker-Brown will also be recording some of her bluesy/jazzy favourites in her original style. The other members of the band are Gordon Matheson (guitar – watch out for “Still Got the Blues”), Rodney Ford (drums and vocals) and Col Atkinson (bass and vocals). Jose will be recording Ferry Cross The Mersey in a jazz style never recorded before, and Peter Uppman not only writes, arranges and composes, but also plays trumpet and flugelhorn and is main vocalist.

GARDENING GURU Julia Hancock (right) is launching her new book at the Murwillumbah Library on Thursday, November 16. The first edition of Gardening in Tweed Shire, published in 2013, was a sell-out success. Now Julia has updated this mustread gardening book to include issues that have arisen over the last decade created by the effects of climate change. “This book builds on all the practical topics contained in my first book such as garden design, site preparation, soil, plant maintenance and propagation,” Julia told The Weekly.

“New chapters include information on how to cope with drought, floods and extreme temperatures both for the plants we grow and for the people who grow them. “Gardeners can do much to prevent the negative impacts of changing weather patterns to still enjoy a beautiful and productive back yard.” Julia will be happy to answer any gardening questions posed by the audience and will be signing copies of her book after her talk at 10am on Thursday, November 16, in the Murwillumbah Library. The book is available for $35 from JH Williams, Murwillumbah Street, Murwillumbah.

He first discovered the Man in Black when he was five years old and heard A Boy Named Sue on the radio. Like Cash, Tex is known as a rock ‘n’ roll outlaw. He has been frontman for The Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon, and now tours with The Fat Rubber Band. Cash wrote most of his classic songs, which are often full of sorrow, suffering, and redemption. He struggled with addiction to alcohol, amphetamines and barbiturates. Johnny Cash was an activist, performing in prisons and singing songs about Indian (now First Nation) tragedies and cowboy violence. Cash wrote songs and toured for about 50 years, always with the best. On December 4, 1956, Elvis Presley dropped in on Sun Records studio while Carl Perkins was in the studio cutting new tracks, with Jerry Lee Lewis on piano. Cash was also in the studio, and the four started an impromptu jam session. Owner Sam Phillips left the tapes running and the recordings, almost half of which were gospel

Tex has loved Johnny Cash since he was five.

songs, survived. They have since been released under the title Million Dollar Quartet. In the mid-1980s, Cash recorded and toured with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson as The Highwaymen. He got a whole new audience from folk when he recorded Girl from the North Country with Bob Dylan in 1969. Lovers of folk music were shocked but soon realised the genius and gravitas of the Man in Black with the powerful deep baritone voice and great songs. Tex Perkins: The Man in Black is on at 8pm on Thursday, November 23 at Twin Towns, Tweed Heads. Tickets at twintowns.com.au

“No job is too big or too small, and if you have something else that requires a pressure clean, all you need to do is ask,” he said.

“My partner is a local of nearly 30 years and has a deep connection to the Tweed and surrounding shires, with family and friends living in the area,” he said.

“Northern Rivers Aqua Pressure Cleaning services all of the Tweed, Byron, Ballina and Lismore Shires,” he said.

FEATURED BUSINESS

For commercial jobs, we oﬀer all of these jobs as well as carparks etc.

He relocated the business to Murwillumbah two years ago after living and working on the Southern Gold Coast for the past 17 years.

Dean is hoping to grow his business and to let all of the Tweed Shire and beyond know about the services he oﬀers.

The information is sourced from official tender portals and links back to the relevant procurement platforms

for tender submissions. “We want to make it easy for businesses to see at a glance, the projects that are open for tender across the Northern Rivers. With seven local council websites to track, the Live Northern Rivers platform is an opportunity to show these tenders together on one page,” Nathan McGrath, RDA Northern Rivers Director of Regional Development said.

Casuarina breaker is Tweed’s first Olympian By Jo Kennett

A CASUARINA teen is off to the Paris Olympics after winning gold at the Ocean Breaking Championship, which saw him secure one of only 16 spots for male breakers in the world. 16-year-old Jeff Dunne will be the youngest competitor in the event which is destined to be a showstopper, staged under the iconic Eiffel Tower along with the skateboarding and BMX events. Rhondda and Tony were in Sydney to see their son’s win. “We all cried. We were very excited,” Tony told the Weekly. “It was just the emotion because it was so nerve wracking after two years of him wanting to be the one boy from Oceania - Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands - that goes through to the Olympics. “The female winner, Rachael Gunn is a 36-year-old university lecturer from Sydney. 36 and 16 is a big difference but she is brilliant.” Tony said the judging criteria is very subjec-

tive so they never know who is going to win until the end. “There were three rounds between the final two and nine judges and Jeff got 25 out of 27 points,” he said. “The other guy got two which showed how good Jeff was. “He’s very humble and now everything is focused on Paris.” Jeff started breaking when he was five and the family lived in Brisbane. “My sister was into dance and there was a class my sister went to and there was a break dancing class in the other room so I started going to that and found some of the moves really easy,” Jeff said. “We moved to NSW when I was seven and I started getting into it more. “I was doing it each week at home and I started getting really serious when I was about 11 or 12.” By the time Jeff was 13, breaking was added to the Paris Olympics event. “I said to myself I want to make first place in the Olympic qualifications and I said to my mum I wanted to make the podium in the Paris 2024 Olympics,” Jeff told The Weekly. “I’ve been working really hard for the last few years but the Olympics really inspired me to work harder. “I break and do gym workouts for three to four hours a day.” The Year 10 Lindisfarne student said he was extremely nervous at the Oceania championships. “If I didn’t qualify I could potentially be chosen in another ranking system that would have been a lot harder,” he said. “Luckily I felt I was in that zone, that flow state of mind, I just felt light and nailed everything. “I was expecting to win because I’d been

training so hard since they announced the Olympics.” Jeff said it was an emotional win for his whole family. “I really wanted to give mum and dad a big hug because they were there in the dark times when I really had to push hard to make it through,” he said. “They came up to me at the end and they were crying and I cried as well. “I go to Paris in August next year and I’m extremely excited about it. “A big shout out to Team Cream in Nerang for all their support. They were there when I was growing up and they have become very close family and friends.” One of the things that makes sports like

breaking and skating so inspiring is the camaraderie between competitors. “A f t e r t h ey a n nounced I had won I gave my crew mate in the final a big hug and then all my other crewmates came over and gave me a big hug,” he said. “Everyone is really supportive of each other because they know how much hard work, time and discipline it takes to be that good. “We leave the competitiveness and emotion on the floor at the end because we respect each other. “Maybe it’s because of where it’s come from (the streets of New York) and how far the sport has come. We all know we have unlimited potential to be the best.”

Danish students visit Moloney prepares to defend title By Jo Kennett

A GROUP of Danish students who have been studying at Kingscliff TAFE have just finished a course learning life saving skills from volunteers at Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club. Thursday, November 9, was the last day of the Danes Surf Safety eight week course. “This is our tenth group of 17 to 18 year old Danish study tour students attending TAFE campus to undertake equivalent Year 12 studies,” Head Teacher Kingscliff and Murwillumbah Career Pathways, Kristie Trudgett said. “They also got to enjoy some amazing Australian experiences, such as a trip to K’Gari (Fraser Island), excursions to Dreamworld and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, surfing lessons, and a cultural walk through Fingal Headland with local Bundjalung guides. “On top of all this, each year the group of students are put through their Surf Safety Certificate under the expert and nurturing guidance of the great trainers at Cudgen Surf Lifesaving Club. “This program is not only great fun but

By Jo Kennett

provides the young Danes with essential surf awareness to ensure their stay in Australia is not only fun, but safe.” “‘Tak surf livreddende’ is Danish for, ‘Thank you Surf Life Saving,” Cudgen Headland SLSC’s Michael Kenny said. “This was the message from 22 Cudgen Headland SLSC temporary members who have completed their eight week (2 hours per week) Swim and Surf Survival Program. “It was our favourite lesson of the week,” one of the students, Anton, said. The program has been running for ten years, instigated by Michael Kenny and Cheryl Cain as a drowning prevention strategy for visiting Danish students studying at Kingscliff TAFE. The students’ last day of TAFE is on Tuesday, November 21, with a graduation dinner that night at the Kingscliff campus Caldera restaurant, before heading home on November 22. Congratulations to the students and well done the Cudgen Headland SLSC Water Safety team and everyone involved in the program at Kingscliff TAFE.

WBO BANTAMWEIGHT world champion Kingscliff boxer Jason Moloney has revealed the sport that has made him a household name was merely an afterthought when he first stepped in the ring, as he prepares to defend his world title early next year. Moloney pulled on the gloves for the first time in his mid teens as a way to keep fit in the off-season as he chased a career in his first love, Australian Rules. The highlight of his amateur career, in which he had 75 fights, was representing Australia in the men’s flyweight division at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010. He turned professional in 2014, and has a record of 26 wins and two losses. He claimed the WBO bantamweight world title in May last year with a majority decision win over Filipino Vincent Astrolabio in California. But Moloney revealed that “being a Melbourne boy”, his first sporting love was Aussie rules. “I loved AFL and wanted to be a professional footballer. That was my dream,” he said. “When I was 13, I decided to take up b ox i n g , mainly to get fit

for footy in the off-season. “I kept using boxing for fitness for about three years and then the passion took over and I decided to start fighting and give football away.” Moloney didn’t enjoy the most auspicious start to his boxing career, losing his first three amateur fights. But with hard work and an unwavering determination, the results turned around. And that, the 32-year-old says, is the most valuable piece of advice he can offer. “Obviously it’s a tough sport and you have to work extremely hard to achieve success but the big thing is being consistent and staying dedicated,” Jason said. “As I’ve come through, I’ve seen so many younger fighters with so much talent go to waste because they’ve given up early. “If you stick to boxing, you can achieve great things.” Moloney turned professional at age 24 with the goal to become world champion. “It’s great eight years on to have achieved that dream but it’s certainly not over,” he said. He is now preparing for his first title defence, most likely in early 2024, with his opponent and the location of the fight yet to be decided.
