HIDDEN EPIDEMIC

Talking POINTS

with BOB HOLLAND

What’s happening in Victoria has been a bit of a reality check for many people and the implications are being felt and talked about everywhere. One thing is obvious, Coronavirus is far from behind us yet. Most people are aware of the dramas that media companies are currently going through. On that, here’s a bit of trivia that would be music to the ears of businesses who advertise on Prime Television. In a recent ratings survey, 27 of the 30 most popular TV programs were on the 7 Network. That’s an amazing statistic!

How many locals are still suffering breathing difficulties from the persistent smoke during last year’s fire seasons?

A reader pulled me up last week to say how much they liked Newswatch, especially the way I am giving our Councillors a bit of stick. I make no bones about this, I stand by anything I’ve said, and I have no intention of letting up. Watching how our Councillors handle themselves in Council meetings and hearing the way they debate or talk about issues in the main, frustrates me no end. We need them to show a lot more businesslike savvy, forward thinking and entrepreneurial flair in their various contributions. There’s a lot of wonderful activity happening in Orange at the present time, but unless I’m badly mistaken, little or none of it can be credited to our Councillors from having any real vision or ideas. Councillors often get their names pinned to media releases and show up at happenings, but that’s more about protocol than them having anything significant to do with what’s occurring or what the issue is.

A dragon boat racing event on the Nepean River at the height of last season’s months-long bushfire smoke haze has left local psychologist Lisa Cunial — for one— with long-term breathing problems. The fact that she has never been asthmatic or suffered respiratory conditions before makes her sure that the unprecedented smoke haze that blanketed Australia’s east coast for weeks on end is the cause.

To be fair however, I’d be more than happy to be challenged or corrected if anything I’ve said above is not a fair or reasonable assessment of the present situation. I’d particularly be pleased to hear from any of our Councillors who feel my comments require correction on any front, or if they feel they can take genuine credit for something significant that’s happened or is currently happening in Orange.

SMOKE ON THE WAT THE FIRE THAT CONTINUES TO BURN: Smoke effects subject of study It affected thousands of locals and is still impacting many hundreds months after the event. Understanding the long-term health impacts of bushfire smoke will be the focus of a new study being undertaken at the Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The study, funded by the Medical Research Future Fund’s (MRFF) Bushfire Impact Research grants program will seek to better understand the physiological impacts of prolonged bushfire smoke exposure, to improve health outcomes for Australians. Professor Phil Hansbro, Deputy Director at the Centenary Institute as well as Director of the Centenary UTS Centre for Inflammation was the successful recipient of the grant and will be leading a team of specialist respiratory disease researchers and clinicians on the project. “The true extent of bushfire smoke on people is still largely unknown,” Professor Hansbro said. “We just don’t know the full impact on people resulting from prolonged smoke inhalation or if short term effects resolve after the exposure ends. There is a real knowledge gap as to what level of smoke exposure is likely ok and what level may lead to adverse health effects, particularly for the more vulnerable in our society.” For this study, the research team will explore the short and prolonged physiological effects of bushfire smoke using mouse models and primary human cells and tissues. Assessed will be how bushfire smoke affects the airways, lungs and other organs and what the long-term consequences of this exposure could be. Potential smoke impact on healthy individuals and those with common pre-existing respiratory disease such as asthma, emphysema and lung cancer will also be explored. “Ideally from our study, we’ll be able to help define safe levels of bushfire smoke exposure across all of these population groups,” said Professor Hansbro. The researchers will then use their findings to evaluate new prevention strategies and treatment measures. This will include the appraisal of anti-inflammatory drugs already in pre-clinical development that can be taken to help mitigate the effects of excessive bushfire smoke inhalation. The aim is to implement the study findings into practice, as quickly as is practically possible. Professor Hansbro is grateful for the opportunity provided by the federal government. “Bushfires and smoke are a constant feature of the Australian environment and will continue to impact many of us, whether in the bush, towns or larger cities. Our research will lead to improved knowledge in this critical area ultimately leading to improved health and wellbeing outcomes for many Australians,” he said. More information on the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund and its funding of research into the health effects of bushfires can be found online.

FOR WINES, SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES; BUT ORCHARDISTS SAY, SHE’LL BE APPLES

Smoke damage to our winegrowers and orchardists from last season’s devastating bushfires is a tale of two industries. Winemakers had to contend with the devastating effects of smoke taint to their precious crop, while our orchardists held-up relatively well, industry insiders say. Asked how much of last year’s grape crop was destroyed by smoke taint, Dan Shaw from the prestigious Philip Shaw Wines said: “all of it… a couple of hundred tonnes.” In an industry where your reputation is your most valuable commodity and one bad vintage can destroy a lifetime’s work, the local producer simply could not risk the impact that smoke-tainted wine could have on their standing. The effects of smoke taint on a crop of grapes and the wine from which they are made is impossible to calculate before the wine is matured, Mr Shaw explained of the winery’s Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. “You’ll know it’s there, that’s for sure… It can also get worse over time,” he said. He said that the drought had already reduced the likely size of the 2019/2020 growing season before the bushfires destroyed the crop and COVID-19 put the wine tourism sector into a three-month shutdown. “It’s definitely been a really hard year for grape growers, a lot have been affected by this,” he said. In another sign of how badly bushfire smoke affected local production, Orange Cool Store normally receives hundreds of tonnes of grapes from local producers before they are ready for processing, but received none for the last season. Mr Shaw welcomed the recent announcement of $36 million in grants funding to help wine and apple producers impacted by the bushfires get back on their feet. “It’s been a tough year for our country communities, with the impacts of drought, bushfires and COVID-19 hitting primary producers hard - wine grape and apple growers were no exception,” Local Federal Member, Andrew Gee said. “The impacts of the bushfires have been devastating, with approximately 60,000 tonnes of the wine grape harvest lost due to smoke taint, and approximately 170.5 hectares of apple orchards needing to be replaced. “Wine grape and apple producers are vital to regional prosperity, investment and economic growth. “In the Central-West, our acclaimed wine producers attract wine enthusiasts from across the globe - putting tourism dollars back into our local community and creating jobs. Not every grape producer or orchardist will require this funding but it’s good to know it is there if it is needed,” Mr Gee said. Mr Shaw agreed, saying that the money could save struggling wineries from going under: “Some businesses are struggling to stay in the industry; that this allows more growers to source this support is a great thing,” he said. Meanwhile Chairman of Orange Cool Stores Steve Mastronardi from Meadow View did not believe that any local orchardists would be accessing the new relief money. “None of the local orchardists were affected, it really only applies to the wines” He said that it was only orchardists in the Batlow region who had their actual trees destroyed by the widespread bushfires throughout December and January who will need

to replant. “All the orchardists affected had the fires actually rip through their properties and it destroyed their trees and infrastructure.” In contrast to local wine-growers, he said that recent steady rain episodes meant that “things are looking a bit brighter, if we get rain towards the end of the year, we’ll be okay, I think,” he said. With about 100 hectares of mostly cherries and apples at Borenore, he said that he doubted many of the district’s 22 orchardists would seek the Federal assistance. He said that the coronavirus and the subsequent emphasis on safe produce for many consumers had sharpened people’s minds on the importance of clean and healthy food and produce. “I think it has had the effect of sharpening everyone’s focus on what farmers actually do. It’s got people to sit-up and take notice of where their food comes from and how important that is.” It’s probably been a good thing in that regard,” he said. Local cider-maker, James Kendell from Small Acres Cyder confirmed that it was drought and not smoke taint that halted him bottling any apple crop from last season. “We simply didn’t have any water, that’s why we had no crop,” he explained. Things though are looking-up this year good subsoil moisture and dams reasonably-full. “If we get rain later in the year, we’ll be okay,” he said. “We’ve still got previous vintages, so we haven’t run-out of cider,” he concluded.

TER - FIRE IN THE SKY HOW BAD WERE LAST YEAR’S BUSHFIRES? by DAVID DIXON

Australia’s highest-ever loss of human life from a bushfire with 173 fatalities and thousands left homeless from 400 individual fires recorded on Saturday 7 February. The Ash Wednesday fires were a series of bushfires that occurred in south-eastern Australia on 16 February 1983, which was Ash Wednesday. Within 12-hours, more than 180 fires fanned by winds of up to 110 km/h caused widespread destruction across the states of Victoria and South Australia. Years of severe drought and extreme weather combined to create one of Australia’s worst fire days in a century. In Victoria, 47 people died. There were 28 deaths in South Australia. This included 14 volunteers in Victoria and 3 in South Australia. Many of the fatalities were as a result of firestorm conditions caused by a sudden and violent wind change in the evening which rapidly changed the direction and size of the fire front.

How bad, in fact, were the bushfires last fire season year compared to those in the past decades before wall-to-wall media coverage made each tragedy, each burnt-out suburb, appear of historical importance. Making direct comparisons between years and decades for fire seasons is fraught, the technology to fight fires, population of the areas hit, media coverage, and winter fuelload reduction policies, all vary so dramatically that each fire season is almost a separate story. The 2019/2020 fire season certainly appeared unique. Starting in early October, it seemed that a new fire area broke-out on an almost daily basis with homes, Iives, and property lost on a depressingly-regular basis. Few if any remember previous instances of the apocalyptic and claustrophobic smoke haze that seemed to blanket large areas of eastern Australian for days on end; choking the life and hope out of even the most stoic Australians.

How did they compare, for instance, with the devastation of January 1939 in Victoria when 67 died; February 1967 in Tasmania with 3000 homes lost and 47 died; and Black Saturday in 2009 when 173 Victorians lost their lives in one day? In brief, the 20019/2020 fires were among the worst; but not wholly-unique among the 230-year history of European settlement in Australia. The worst year recorded for area burned, oddly enough, was 1974, when 117,000,000 hectares (290,000,000 acres) hectares burned, equivalent to the area of France, Spain, and Portugal combined. As most of these fires were in remote areas though, many Australians were only vaguely-aware of the amount of destruction to the natural environment. In fact, it was only after satellite images revealed the true extent of the devastation that Australian authorities themselves were aware of the scope of the damage. For loss of life, The Black Saturday bushfires of February 2009 were the most destructive. These fires occurred during extreme bushfire weather conditions and resulted in

Up to 8000 people were evacuated in Victoria at the height of the crisis and a state of disaster was declared for the first time in South Australia’s history. More than 35 townhouses were burned in a small town in Victoria. Ash Wednesday was one of Australia’s costliest natural disasters More than 3700 buildings were destroyed or damaged and 2545 individuals and families lost their homes. Livestock losses included more than 340,000 sheep, 18,000 cattle and numerous native animals either dead or later destroyed. A total of 4,540 insurance claims were paid totalling A$176 million with a total estimated cost of well over $400 million. The Black Friday bushfires of 13 January 1939, in Victoria, Australia, were part of the devastating 1938–1939 bushfire season in Australia, which saw bushfires burning for the whole summer, and ash fall as far away as New Zealand. It was calculated that three-quarters of the State of Victoria was directly or indirectly affected by the disaster, while other Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory were also badly hit by fires and extreme heat. Fires burned almost 2,000,000 hectares (4,900,000 acres) of land in Victoria, where 71 people were killed, and several towns were entirely obliterated. Over 1300 homes and 69 sawmills were burned, and 3700 buildings were destroyed or damaged.

SMOKING FIRE AT DRAGON-BOAT RACING LEAVES LISA BREATHLESS A dragon boat racing event on the Nepean River at the height of last season’s monthslong bushfire smoke haze has left local psychologist Lisa Cunial with long-term breathing problems. The fact that she has never been asthmatic or suffered respiratory conditions before makes her sure that the unprecedented smoke haze that blanketed Australia’s east coast for weeks on end is the cause. “No, I never have in the past, (suffered breathing problems),” she explains. “I went to a regatta for dragon boats at Penrith at the old Olympic Rowing Stadium,” she explains. “I was racing, but not beyond what I would normally do, just basically exerting myself to a normal level; when I started having breathing problems on the day, on the way back,” she explains.

“It got worse, so I presented myself the next day to Emergency at Orange Hospital. My breathing got progressively Worse and the doctors said it was to do with ‘reactive airways syndrome,’” she explained. Lisa’s tale of woe doesn’t end there with persistent symptoms that continue to affect her quality of life. “If I get anywhere near smoke, from the next-door neighbour’s chimney, to cigarette smoke, to people burning-off, I have a reaction,” she explained. “I have an air purifier at home and at work and I’m taking asthma ventolin and preventers; I was also on heavy steroids for a week,” she said. “Respiratory-wise, these are things I’ve never had to take before.” She supports the Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney

study into the long-term health impacts of bushfire smoke knowing many locals who are also suffering months after the event. “I’ve spoken to a lot of people who said they couldn’t go on a walk because of the effects of the smoke,” she said. She said that central tablelands locals should be trying to minimise the amount of smoke in the air by burning their home fires as hot as possible and not burning-off litter unnecessarily. “If they’re using wood fires, don’t let them smoke, burn the wood as hot as possible,” she said. “We should be looking at strategies to minimise smoke at this time,” she believes. She believes that Rural Fire Service and private landholder burn-offs to reduce fuel loads should also be limited due to the number of people sensitive to particle

COLOUR CITY REIMAGINED

WITH OWN COMMUNITY-RUN GARDEN

n Benefits of community gardens are many and varied and include the simple pleasure of working with plants and watching beautiful things flourish.

Flowering annuals once adorned many of our public parks, footpaths, and roadsides and could once again, Orange City Councillor Scott Munro believes.

Establishment of a community-run nursery and garden at the Orange Botanic Garden is the answer to our once-more becoming the colour city, he argues. “A long time before I was a Councillor, they (Council) had their own nursery and the town was beautiful with flowers everywhere,” Cr Munro said. “We could have that again.” “If we had a community-run garden, nursery, and orchard, there would be very little cost in running it,” he said. Benefits of a such a resource based at the Botanic Gardens in North Orange would be many and varied including the simple pleasure of working with plants and watching beautiful things flourish. “It would provide the opportunity for people wanting to do good things and plant some bulbs and watch them grow. For the children, they get to see where their food comes from. Local schools could be involved as well,” he explained. “Plants could be grown for our parks and gardens to again beautify our city, there used to be flowers, annuals, planted everywhere around Orange, you simply don’t see that anymore,” Cr Munro said. Everyone would win, he says, from a resource that would have low running costs and overheads, but which would benefit everyone involved. “We don’t plant a lot of annuals at the

We could have a hothouse to grow flowers that could then be replanted around town. I remember how attractive Orange used to look in the spring,” he remembers. Orange Showground already hosts a community garden — the ELF (Environmental Learning Facility) Community Garden — that promotes the principals of “permaculture” for members and visitors. The garden is centred around a “whole systems” approach utilising the patterns and resilient features observed in natural ecosystems. Cr Munro has something different in mind, a Council-sponsored, communityrun facility to provide plants, trees, and flowers to help adorn the city. “It would

“I’d just like to put it out there, if someone is interested in a community garden, then I will support it with Council,” he explained. He believes that the Botanic Gardens is “a massive area” that could easily host such a facility. The garden would provide the same role as those now popping-up in major cities throughout the world designed to offer metropolitan-bound residents the opportunity of communing with the natural world. “If you look at the concept in the big city areas, the community look after it, protect it, and benefit from it.” “It would be available for people who can’t have their own garden. I’m sure we have many people from farming and orcharding backgrounds in retirement who could help. There are a lot of talented people in agriculture in the area.” His inspiration for the garden-nurseryorchard project comes from his own pleasure at working outside on his farm west of Orange. It’s a lovely place where you can really enjoy the beauty of the natural world around us,” he said. “I’m out on the farm now doing some fencing and it’s wonderful, it gives you time to think, you’re in your own space,” he concluded.

Gypsy life appeals in a 1950s classic style

n Thumbs-up to life on the open road; long-time caravanners Clare and Brian Heffernan with Canobolas Caravan Park Manager, Renee Clancey.

by DAVID DIXON

That quintessential symbol of post-war affluence and mobility — the humble caravan — has made a resurgence with increasing numbers of Aussies hitting the open-road to escape our troubled times.

Canobolas Caravan Park has seen a huge spike in bookings since the first coronavirus lockdowns were lifted, Manager Renee Clancey explained.

“We had more last weekend and the (Queens Birthday) Long Weekend was even busier,” she said.

Post-coronavirus life-on-the-road now looking a whole lot brighter Coronavirus has changed everything, including how we enjoy travel. That 1950's favourite — the caravan — is suddenly back in vogue.

Ownership of caravans and other Recreational Vehicles (RVs) is now at record levels. One in 13 Australian households now own a caravan or camper with about 700,000 recreational vehicles now on our roads. The caravaning and camping industry is a $23.3 billion industry that manufactures 23,000 vehicle per annum; services over 700,000 vehicles on the road; generates 12 million trips; and creates 60 million visitor nights across the country. Interest in buying a recreational vehicle has surged during the coronavirus lockdown as travel restrictions ease; good news for not only the local manufacturing and retail markets, but also the tourism sector, with the flow-on effect reaching many regional towns including Orange (see attached story) as excited caravaners again hit the road. The three-month coronavirus lockdown and continuing international travel ban has seen Australians rediscover their love of regional travel. “Recent weeks have shown a shift in people’s behaviour — having been cooped up for months, Australians are now turning their attention to travelling within their own backyard,” CEO of the Caravan Industry Association of Australia, Stuart Lamont said. The spike in demand across the country is reflective of the need to escape, with keen travellers reconsidering what they might want to do with the funds they had earmarked for a big overseas trip, to instead invest in a recreational vehicle to explore Australia.

A moving recreation…

This surprise revival is giving our local tourism sector a lift with our beautiful corner of God’s Own Country increasinglypopular with our esteemed grey nomads.

“Normally we’re around 80 per cent full; during the lockdown, we were down to about 30 percent… we actually struggled a bit. But now, we’re fully booked-out. We’ve had a lot of people come from the South Coast, they say they really enjoy coming to the country-side,” Renee explained.

Travellers typically stay about three days, having a look at the unique sights of Orange district before moving-on to their next destination in our wide, brown land.

Long-time caravanners Clare and Brian Heffernan agreed on the appeal of the nomadic life, saying that living life on the go has been fantastic fun. “We’ve been on the road 12-years and we’ve loved it!” Clare enthused. “It’s the best decision we ever made,” Brian added.

A member of Caravanning and Camping Industry of Australia, Canobolas appeals to many older visitors attracted to their simple facilities and lower rates. “We find here, we do have a lot of older people who

“We have a daughter and grandkids here. We have a daughter in Broome, one in Millthorpe, and one in Wollongong, so being on the road is perfect for us,” Brian explained.

“It’s a lifestyle choice for us and we get to meet new people wherever we go,” Clare said. “I also do less housework and we don’t have to worry about mowing the lawn,” she laughed. As well as enjoying the natural beauty and the friendly folk of the Central Tablelands, our facilities here are another bonus for both Clare and Brian. “We also use Orange as a medical base while we’re here, you have excellent facilities at the hospital and the like,” Brian said. “I’m not sure I can go and live in a house again,” he concluded.

• There are about 711,000 registered recreational vehicles (caravan and campervans) in Australia. • The caravan and camping industry contributes $23 billion in economic benefit to Australia. • Last year there were 12 million caravan and camping trips making caravan and camping the most popular accommodation option for Australians, this was across 60 million visitor nights throughout the country. • There are 18 million Australians that have stayed in caravan parks previously, with 19 million Australians who say they would consider staying in a caravan park in the future. • Visitor expenditure of caravan/ camping visitors is annually about $8.6 billion with 90 per cent of that spending in regional Australia. • Australians under quarantine for three-months are keen to get back on the road with 80 per cent of caravan/ camping consumers indicating that they would take a trip within two months of the full-restrictions easing. • More than 30 per cent of caravan/ camping consumers say they would consider purchasing another recreational vehicle within the next two years.

requires updating in line with the general changes instituted by other Councils in NSW and that this should be a topic for a follow on study.

AMANDA: One issue is our Heritage Review. Council is currently seeking community comment on this.

BOB: But what does this mean for the local community and property owners?

BOB: Is anything that is proposed very controversial?

A review of the planning guidelines which protect heritage buildings and zones in Orange is recommending: • an expansion of the city’s existing heritage zones • the creation of three new heritage zones in areas which weren’t listed before • adding an extra thirty-six individual places to be added to list of the local heritage-listed places. The proposed heritage conservation areas to be re-named and expanded would be: • Dalton – the former central conservation area, • East Orange heritage conservation area, • Bowen – the former southern portion of the East Orange Area, • an expanded Glenroi Duration Cottages heritage conservation area, and • new heritage conservation areas for Newman Park, Blackmans Swamp and Bletchington. BOB: Heritage issues can cause conflict and we’ve all seen that at times. What’s your take on this? AMANDA: I have worked at councils where proposals to add individual houses to a heritage register caused anger and anxiety amongst the owners of those properties because of fears of restrictions on what they could do with their own property. This review adds 36 properties to the local heritage lists and there does not seem to be much concern being expressed publicly and that may be because the review is open for comment until 31st July. https://www.orange.nsw. gov.au/new-proposal-to-expand-oranges-heritage-zones/ As we know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the value of heritage is also subjective. When I first came to live in Australia 20 years ago I was a bit of a philistine where Australian Colonial heritage was concerned as I had been living close to an 11th Century castle and a 12th Century Cathedral in Lincoln in England! I do, of course, recognise that the local community values different things as heritage in different places. Orange City Council has written to 1800 residents and has a Podcast on the topic of the Heritage Review. The Podcast explains that the proposals aim to get the best of the old and new combined as time does not stand still and appropriate development of heritage items is needed for modern living and aspirations. It is made clear that developers should

AMANDA: I don’t think that the implications are made very clear by Council of what it means for the community and property owners within the new Heritage Conservation Areas. The Council’s media release says: Once the exhibition period has concluded and all the received submissions have been considered, a final report will be considered by Council. Once adopted, the recommendations within the heritage study review report will then be the subject of a planning proposal to amend the Local Environmental Plan 2011 to legislate the changes. This means adding new Heritage Conservation Areas to part 5.10 Heritage Conservation of the Orange Local Environmental Plan and the following explains what that means for Heritage Conservation Areas: Objectives include to conserve the heritage significance of heritage items and heritage conservation areas including associated fabric, settings and views. This then affects how proposals in Heritage Conservation Areas are dealt with including that consent is required for many things including erecting a building on land that is within a heritage conservation area. In considering a development proposal Council must consider the effect of the proposed development on the heritage significance of the area. Before granting consent, Council may require a heritage management document to be prepared that assesses the extent to which the carrying out of the proposed development would affect the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area concerned. The Council may require, after considering the heritage significance of a heritage item and the extent of change proposed to it, the submission of a heritage conservation management plan before granting consent. When people decide to settle in a particular area, they are keen to have an understanding of the extent of changes that may happen in the future, as they are buying because they like the current situation. It is strange that the Council adds that guidelines and controls will come later. The Council’s media release on the topic The review also considered the topic of guidelines and controls for development in heritage areas. It was recommended that this matter

| Saturday 4 July, 2020 |

AMANDA: Many of the proposals regarding Heritage Conservation Areas have been around since 2012, but there is development pressure as we know, particularly for housing. The Orange Local Housing Strategy is also on exhibition for community comment at the same time. It includes the Housing Vision that ‘respects and enhances our heritage, unique local features and character.’ Certainly, the character and lifestyle of Orange are significant in attracting new residents and tourists. I am aware that one of the new proposed Heritage Conservation Areas has been the subject of a previous very controversial development proposal for 3 two-storey Boarding Houses at 194A March Street that was recommended for refusal and was refused by Council in 2018. Part of the reasoning for refusal was ‘the site layout and building design are incompatible with the character of the surrounding area and heritage setting.’ I see that there is a Development Application currently being considered by Council for 194A March Street which is in the middle of the proposed Newman Park Heritage Conservation Area. The DA proposal involves two stages, the first being the construction of 7 new two-storey dwelling houses, each with three-bedrooms and attached single garage (‘multi-dwelling housing’); and the second stage involving subdivision of the land to create 8 Community Title Lots (1 community parcel and 7 residential lots) so that each dwelling is on its own lot. The proposal also involves the provision of 5 visitor car parking spaces, a new sealed driveway, and landscaping. The exhibition for this DA closed some time ago and I am aware there were objections. It is not clear when it will come to Council for decision, but it will clearly be controversial given that it is in a new Heritage Conservation Area and has many similar planning issues to the previous DA including two-storey buildings. It will be interesting to see what eventuates. EDITOR’S NOTE: Amanda welcomes feedback or enquiries about issues raised in City Watch. You can contact her at aes@ amandaspaldingconsulting.com

THOUSAND $50 SHOPPING VOUCHERS: EACH ONE A STEP TO “RETAIL RECOVERY” Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures; with Orange City Council giving-away $50,000 worth of shopping gift-cards to help kick-start our local economy after the big lockdown. Launching the ‘Orange City Council Retail Recovery’ campaign, Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said that local residents can go in the draw to win one of 1000 of the $50 gift cards by entering the coupon from the adjacent advertisement in this week’s Newswatch and Orange City Life. “This is a great initiative from Orange Council’s Rebound Committee, we’ll be drawing our winners once a week so get your entry in,” Cr Kidd said, admitting to being “a mad shoplocal person”. Now, more than ever, as the local community comes-out from the coronavirus quarantine period, he believes that it’s time to support local businesses with 115 having already signed-up for the program. “Because if we don’t shop locally, these people haven’t got a job; that’s something that people sometimes forget with online shopping,” he said. “We know our local retailers have been doing it tough during the pandemic,” Cr Kidd said. “Local residents are very loyal to the Orange business community, so this campaign will make it easier for them to spend in a local store.” “Now’s the time for residents to get their entries in. For the next five weeks, we’ll be doing a draw every week. Each week will be giving two hundred winners a $50 Shop Orange gift card to spend at

a local participating business.” “We want this money to be spent before the end of September, so these dollars can get circulating in the economy as soon as possible.” This campaign is a unique way for Council to support the local economy as we recover from a once-in-a-generation event: “We had something similar in 2008–2009 (during the global financial crisis) but this is the biggest campaign by a long way,” he explained. Orange City Council Employment and Economic Development Committee Chair, Cr Tony Mileto said that the campaign is a way to help not just local retailers but the wider community. “It’s an opportunity to stimulate local business but also help people in need who are struggling,” he said.

“When someone uses one of these cards at a local store, it’s very likely they’ll be topping it up to buy something that’s worth more than $50,” Cr Mileto said. “That’s going to increase the value of the Council’s spending.” “$50,000 is only a fraction of the revenue that’s spent at local stores in a year, but it all helps. It could tip the balance that will let someone make perhaps their first visit to a local store since the pandemic close-down.” “Of course it’s a lot of money, but it’s the right thing to do,” Cr Mileto concluded.

HARD-HAT RECOVERY WITH $79M “LOCAL HERO” CAPITAL WORKS SPEND

n Money well-spent: The new $25 million sporting precinct is taking shape with construction set for completion by the end of 2023.

Taking the advice of a former treasury official to “go hard and go early,” Orange City Council is planning a hard-hat local recovery with $79 million worth of capital works projects for the coming year financial year. The works as much as possible will also utilise locally-sourced contractors, Orange City Council’s Finance Committee Chair, Councillor Jeff Whitton said. The projects are designed to create or sustain up to 158 full-time roles within Council and among private contractors. “It is an ambitious stimulus program for the local community,” Cr Whitton said. “We’re giving something back in the way of local trades, project managers, local sub-contractors… basically, we’re aiming to use local tradespeople, where that is legally possible,” Cr Whitton said.

the community,” he explained. “All of our deficit program is to make facilities to benefit the community,” he said. In a separate project, the city’s CBD will begin its transformation with Council’s commitment to inject $5 million in this year to upscale and renew parts of the Town Centre. The “Future City” project is about supporting current businesses, modernising certain elements such as lighting thus creating a CBD which will attract new investment.

Council would in fact be seeking State Government advice on local procurement guidelines to ensure that work that can stay local does, Cr Whitton explained.

The new $25 million sporting precinct which is being funded by the State Government will also take shape, with construction set for completion by the end of 2023.

“We’ve written to the Premier and Local Government Minister on how to keep as much contracting locally as we can,” saying that Council was unapologetic about the size and extent of the program.

These projects, along with many more are set to begin following last night’s Orange City Council meeting which saw the Council adopt the new financial blueprint for 2020/21.

A cybersecurity business executive, he said that, the middle of a worldwide pandemic is not the time for Council to be penny-pinching.

Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said he’s looking forward to seeing all of these projects come to fruition: “We’ve got big plans for Orange and our local residents, and they are reflected in this new budget.” Cr Kidd said.

“Council do have an obligation to be responsible financially, but there are times when any business needs to go into debt, Council is now doing that to save

“With 158 full-time jobs on the horizon, we’ll see a flow-on effect from

those employees, creating additional employment in the sectors that Council finds it difficult to support such as the retail and services sectors. “We want to ensure we’re still meeting

...WITH 158 FULL-TIME JOBS ON THE HORIZON, WE’LL SEE A FLOW-ON EFFECT FROM THOSE EMPLOYEES...

the community’s basic expectations with construction and development, while also making sure we continue to move forward as a city.”

| Saturday 4 July, 2020 |

Cr Whitton said he believes this budget reflects what the community has been asking for: “As Councillors, it’s our job to listen to what our local residents are asking for, and I believe this budget addresses the majority of those requests,” Cr Whitton said. “We have just under one million dollars being spent on footpaths and far more than that on a number of road upgrades. We’ll also see the reintroduction of an annual city-wide bulky waste collection, an initiative many local residents have been asking for.” Orange City Council has also included a $1.8 million loss of revenue provision in the 2020/2021 budget to cover closures and reductions of certain services/activities related He said that Council needs to access as much federal and State Government money as possible before the tap is eventually turned-off as we return to more normal times. “With all the fantastic work that the State Government and federal Government have done to stimulate the economy, this is an opportunity for Orange, and one that we have to take, “he concluded.

FINE DINING BACK IN FASHION; BUT NO LINGERING OVER REPAST

Three months of chowingdown on takeaway during the coronavirus lockdown has whetted local epicureans’ appetites for fine dining with few quibbling over staggered sittings to ensure everyone gets to eat, a local restaurateur says.

helpful: “we have had no net profit for more than four months. We are still not on the upturn, but with JobKeeper payments, we can still pay many staff,” he said.

He says that despite social distancing forcing the capacity of his already-snug Modern Japanese eatery from 35 down to only 15, he is doing “not too bad.”

habit of limited dining times with two sessions per evening for most nights. With stories circulating of diners at some establishments having their plates taken from under them as they are still eating, he said they have instituted a discreet half-hour notification to allow people to finish their meals in comfort.

“We’re down about 15–20 per cent at the moment; April was awful as we were down more than 50 per cent, May was not too bad, about 25 per cent,” he said.

“We have two sittings every day except Sunday. On weekdays we have 5.30–7.30 and 7.30–9.30. On Friday and Saturday, 6–8 and 8–10,” he explained.

He said that most diners “have been okay” about coming back out with few expressing concerns regarding coronavirus: “I see people in many places, they are not really worried about COVID.”

He said that required social distancing and more stringent cleaning policies have been fine with their mostly 30–50 year-old diners. “Most people know and understand, they are all people with good manners,” he said.

With the summer January-February season normally his slowest, the coronavirus pandemic hit right at the time in March when he normally sees his business pick-up.

“We did takeaway only during the lockdown and we did okay, but now people are wanting to dine-in, not eat takeaway,” John Lee from Raku Izakaya explained.

He said though that, with many temporary visa-holders among his staff unable to access any Government support, they have had to get by as best they can.

“We have not shutdown so that is good, but with no vaccine until next year maybe, we have to keep working. “Because while we must take care, the economy is very, very important, we must keep going,” John concluded.

MELBOURNE CUP IN JULY! Probably not a good year for Christmas in July celebrations. However, we are getting something to replace it – Melbourne Cup in July! What better day to get out the virtual fireworks than the 4th of July? It may not be big on your radar, but a couple of local MPs have horses in it. Due to the renewed outbreak of Covid19 in Melbourne, it’s being run in Eden-Monaro so as not to disappoint punters. Phil Donato has a runner, and it’s drawn the No 1 barrier! Phil’s down there at the big race and this morning, pulled the colourful SFF rug off his horse, and hopes it’s flying colours will be first past the finishing post today. Not to be outdone, Andrew’s down there too, Geeing up his gee-gee, Hiccupz while the PM’s on his stable-mate Fee-Fee whose pedigree name punters can’t pronounce. Andrew’s hoping Hiccupz can contain Fee-Fee and Phil’s runner, MattieStattie in statico as Hiccupz flies past the post. There are 14 horses at the barrier, a credible Melbourne Cup on this beautiful crisp July day, with punters dressed up to the nines… top hats, bow-ties and tails for the men, and frothy or feathered headpieces worn by the women. They’re loading the barriers now, with MattieStattie trained by the Shooters, Fishers & Farmers in barrier 1, followed by the sparking Everready Jansson trained by the Science set, locked in by attendants. Medical Marijuana moves in quietly under the influence of jockey Mick Balderstone trained by the HEMP Party; James Holgate moves the skittish independent Fossilgate straight in. The Nats steed Hiccupz ridden into barrier 5 by jockey Trevor Hicks without incident, as the Liberal Democrats trained chef DemoCrae plays up at the back of the barrier before being expertly manouvered in by barrier attendants. Half-way loaded now, Sustainable Australia trained Angelic Centre heads joyfully into barrier 7. Highly rated ALP trained local mare, McKristy McBain is shying a bit, but leaves Albo behind as she moves into barier 8. Australia One’s Independently trained mountain mustang Bosi Nova is dancing around a bit, rearing up, but expertly guided into the 9th barrier, while New Liberal’s independently trained filly Porta Oughta is constructing a bit of climate change before neatly locked into barrier 10. Greens trained filly, GreenGriff steps up

into 11, and Christian Democrat trained ReStore Storey is guided by jockey Narelle into the 12th barrier. Only 2 to go now, Australian Federation trained Potterfed, giving a little pigroot before being brought under control by attendants, then No 14, last to go in, is the Liberal trained Fee-Fee owned by the ScoMo stables. They’re ready now, the starter settles, then they’re OFF in the Eden-Monaro Cup. Terrible start, straggling all over the place with over half the punters pre-polling, they gather up, heading toward the first 200 metre mark. Porta Oughta out in front with Potterfed and GreenGriff, Fossilgate with a solar spurt is leader of the bunched up lot; Angelic Centre jostling with McKristy McBain on the fence, Fee-Fee in the centre with DemoCrae, Bosi Nova and Mattie Stattie neck a neck with Hiccupz trying hard to Restore Storey to the fence. Everready and Medical Marijuana behind Mattie Stattie as the settle around the 500 metre mark.

Everready’s batteries are flat and there’s no base-load to stoke him up; Angelic Centre’s in a similar position dropping to the back… Fossilgate’s run out of pedalpower too. GreenGriff is just too green and has run out of steam. Potterfed’s energy’s failing as he drops back from the centre; ReStore Storey is holding her own on the rails, but locked in by MattieStattie.

Fossilgate’s moved out front but looking tired already, Potterfed feeling youthful still with GreenGriff looking green and falling back. Porta Oughta taking charge, ReStore Storey, was on fire and set up ReStore to help others is being shafted by Everready and hemped by Medical Marijuana. MattieStattie and McKristy McBain are holding with Angelic Centre in the middle, DemoCrae is cooking Everready, Fee-Fee is being fooled by Albo; Hiccupz and Bosi Nova are tussling it out for conservative territory.

As they come into the strait Albo’s got the crowd stacked, and the bookies organised to pay out in Aldi bags to thank the punters and stackers. McKristy McBain’s galloping on ignorant of it all; ScoMo’s got half the crowd locked up and preferencing Fee-Fee; TopNat and Barilaro have stopped a moment to shore up preferences for the same side. Phil Donato’s going mad as MattieStattie is shooting straight for the finish-line, ReStore Storey can’t possibly make it up, but Hiccupz, Fee-Fee, Bosi Nova, McKristy McBain are all chasing MattieStattie. Jockeys have the whips out, it’s Hiccupz, Bosi Nova moving up, but here comes McKristy McBain and Fee-Fee. They’re all tight coming to the finish-line – Fee-Fee and McKristy McBain – Bosi Nova and MattieStattie, Hiccupz – it’s close with preferences – it’s a tight line – it’s going to be a photo finish, there’s not a nose in it. Hiccupz, but here’s Bosi Nova right in there, Fee-Fee stretching forward, McKristy McBain in vain, MattieStattie still there, Hiccupz, Bosi Nova, Hiccupzzz … it might be MattieStattie – it’s too hard to call – it’s a photo and the tightest 5 horse finish in the history of the cup!

What’s going on in the sidelines nearly as interesting as the race now, as head trainers Albanese and Morrison are getting into fisticuffs in the stands, while TopNat McCormack and scratched Pork Barilaro are throwing insults, but Andrew’s gee-gee Hiccupz is running his own race and starting to gather steam through the field as they pass the half-way mark. Fee-Fee and McKristy McBain are gaining speed too, as is MattieStattie galloping forward now and shooting for the stars with Bosi Nova firming up with preferences stacking up his personal vote. Porta Oughta be doing better but is falling back with DemoCrae and Medical Marijuana.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s a photo finish, and going to take some sorting out. Whatever the stewards decide, there WILL be protests, allegations of interference and branch stacking so there WILL be a Stewards Inquiry – or two! It’s just too hard to call: it’s moment’s like this we need John Kerr around to dismiss the protests, because they WILL change the outcome!

Phil Donato is going MAD – he thinks it’s MattieStattie, Albo thinks McKristy McBain’s in the Aldi bag, Andrew’s all geed up – Barilaro and TopNat are actually shaking hands – they think Hiccupz’ got it and Scomo reckons Fee-Fee’s in the bag.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

WE CAN DO better with BOB HOLLAND

The Journey: I’m looking forward to these school holidays. It’s a chance to hit the road with the family and enjoy a bit of a break. We know where we’re going. We know what road to take. We know how long it will take us to arrive at our destination (subject to change, depending on how the kids travel). When you hit the road for a journey there is a real sense of freedom. It’s just you, the car and the bitumen. I remember when I first got my P’s and the sense of freedom I now had. I could go anywhere I wanted. Experts are predicting that Australians are going to re-discover the ‘Great Australian Road Trip’ in the coming months as international travel is off the cards. The open road offers us freedom. It offers us adventure. It offers us an escape. We can sometimes think that when we go and hit the road, we are blazing a new trail. We are stepping out. We are going somewhere new. But the reality is, we’re not. We are bound to the road. We are bound to the speed limits and road rules. This road is not a new road. It has been travelled many

13

times before us. For us it may seem like an adventure, but for others it is the mundane stretch of road that is part of the daily commute to work. Many people describe life as a journey. That life is what we make it. Why is it then that we find ourselves constrained? We are bound by principles, convictions, experiences, moments that have shaped us to think and act in certain ways. We think we have arrived at our destination, only to realise that it’s not what we expected and that we need more. Where are you going? What is the journey that you are on? There is a deep sense in all of us to understand life. To understand the meaning of life. Jesus answers this longing. It is in Jesus that you can find true meaning, hope, peace, satisfaction and joy. It is in Jesus that our journey reaches its end. He is the destination and he won’t point you somewhere else. So as you go for a drive these school holidays, take the time to ask yourself, where am I going and what journey am I on? I want to encourage you to consider Jesus as the one who is the true destination for your heart.

Last week we received a letter from someone who was very annoyed that the work on Orange Courthouse had gone to a Dubbo building firm. The writer, although acknowledging that price would have played a part, couldn’t understand why an Orange building firm couldn’t have been every bit as competitive. This issue has been a bone of contention for some time and again received some attention by our Councillors recently. I can speak from personal experience, having tendered for Council’s newspaper advertising at different times, and being a winner on one occasion and a loser on others. I have also often heard from other businesspeople about feeling badly done by when tendering for local Council work or purchases. To be fair, it can’t be easy for Council and my feeling is that many decisions are made for very reasonable reasons, but not necessarily good reasons, if that makes sense. For example, take the Courthouse work. This particular job may have had nothing to do with our Council, it was possibly tendered out by someone else such as the Department of Justice. But whether it was or wasn’t handled by our Council, the process was probably still the same. Price would be a major factor, as would reputation and the

ability to do the work satisfactorily. Then there’s the potential added benefits for other sectors in town such as the hospitality sector. If an out of town firm gets a major job in Orange, chances are that that flows on, with workers staying in town for periods of time, and all the local spending on food, accommodation etc. that comes with that. You can see that there can be a lot more to it than just dealing with a local firm, that’s what I mean by reasonable reasons but not necessarily good reasons. That said, I would like to see our Council support local suppliers to a far greater extent. I believe most people would want to see our Council give local work to locals, buy goods and services from locals and generally support locals at every turn. I personally don’t think price should come into it, within reason of course. To do that, our Council would have to have a conviction and willingness to defend their actions in the face of strong opposition. We live in times when whatever you do, someone will oppose you. Councils, like so many others today, try to please everyone and that’s impossible. Speaking for myself, I think Orange Council can do better at supporting locals and I for one, don’t care about the cost. Governments at all levels are notorious for wasting money when they need or want to, so why should cost be a worry to anyone?

M & J BUTCHERY ‘Consistency and quality the recipe for success at M&J Butchery

A successful local butcher with 40 years’ experience, M&J Butchery was an obvious candidate for our Roll of Honour. From the minute you step into his tidy Moulder Street store you can see that owner Michael Borg takes pride in what his does. His meat counter is always immaculately well-presented and the quality of what he sells is obvious.

good German butcher in Fyshwick. He did really good stuff, doing it how it should be done so I did nearly four years there,” said Michael. “And there I did a lot of other stuff; smoking and doing the old-fashioned stuff, like dry hanging and the curing side of it, because not many guys were doing that in Orange at the time.”

“Consistency is a big thing for us,” said Michael. “Consistency of quality. Week in, week out our quality is always exactly the same. You can come back in six weeks’ time or four years’ time and you will always have that same quality.”

All of Michael’s steaks are aged a minimum of 30 days and he is particular about the quality of the meat he sources, although that has proved to be a challenge these past few years.

Michael began his apprenticeship here in Orange 40 years ago at the Greengate Butchery in Prince Street. His desire to prefect his craft took him to Canberra, where he learnt under an experienced German butcher.

“What with the coronavirus now and the drought that we’ve had. There has been difficulty in getting the good quality products coming through,” said Michael, who believes that maintaining that quality is one of the things that sets them apart from the large supermarkets.

“I went to learn how to make sausages properly. There was a

“I think we just have more control of our quality lines coming through and what we put out there. I think we trim a little bit better; our chicken lines are all free range, all our sausages are low in fat content. We don’t try hide anything. It is all out on display and we’ll show you before you take it, so you see what you are getting. We just try to do everything a little bit nicer,” he said. “And I’ve had customers who normally shop at big grocery stores saying, ‘Gee, I never tasted a steak that good or lamb with that much flavour. “We’ve been here since 2004 and it has been an up and down ride because of what has been going on in the town, but consistency has kept us where we are. We’re out of the main drag and not right in there where people are walking past every day, so obviously they are coming here for that reason — our consistency and quality.”

DON’T OVERCLAIM ON RENTAL PROPERTIES THIS TAX YEAR… Residential rental property-owners concerned about how COVID-19, floods, or bushfires have reduced their income this last financial year have been asked to ensure that they claim only for legitimate expenses, the Australian Tax Office says. Many of these losses over the financial year could be the result of tenants paying less rent or entering deferred payments plans or from travel restrictions which have affected demand for short-term rental properties. New legislation also affects the tax deductions that owners of vacant land can claim.

income and must be included in tax returns. Many banks have moved to defer loan repayments for stressed mortgagees. In these circumstances, rental property owners are still able to claim interest being charged on the loan as a deduction- even if the bank defers the repayments.

SHORT TERM RENTALS

“Last year, we also saw a number of taxpayers make simple mistakes such as claiming deductions for travel to inspect their rental properties,” Ms Foat said.

We often see people with short term rental properties claiming for 100 per cent of their expenses when they actually use the property for their own use or provide it to family and friends for free or at a reduced rate. Properties need to be rented out or be genuinely available for rent to claim a deduction.

Residential property owners can’t claim any deductions for costs incurred in travelling to residential rental property unless they are in the rare situation of being in the business of letting rental properties.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed property owners and tenants in unforeseen circumstances. Many tenants are paying reduced rent or have ceased paying because their income has been adversely affected by COVID-19.

INCORRECTLY CLAIMING LOAN INTEREST

While rental income may be reduced, owners will continue to incur normal expenses on their rental property and will still be able to claim these expenses in their tax return as long as the reduced rent charged is determined at arms’ length, having regard to the current market conditions. This applies whether the reduction in rent was initiated by the tenants or the owner. Some owners may have rental insurance that covers a loss of income. It is important to remember that any pay-outs from these types of policies are assessable

Initial repairs for damage that existed when the property was purchased can’t be claimed as an immediate deduction but may be claimed over a number of years as a capital works deduction.

COMMON MISTAKES

ATO Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat explained that, whatever the circumstances, the most important first-step is to keep records of all expenses. “Without good records, you will find it difficult to declare all your rental-related income in your tax return and work out what expenses you can claim as deductions.”

You should include rent as income at the time it is paid, so you only need to declare the rent you have received as income. If payments by your tenants are deferred until the next financial year you do not need to include these payments until you receive them.

capital works and are deductible over a number of years.

Taxpayers that take out a loan to purchase a rental property can claim interest (or a portion of the interest) as a tax deduction. However, directing some of the loan money to personal use, such as paying for living expenses, buying a boat, or going on a holiday is not deductible use. The ATO uses data and analytics look closely to ensure that deductions are only claimed on the portion of the loan that relates directly to the rental property.

CAPITAL WORKS AND REPAIRS “Each year, some taxpayers claim capital works as a lump sum rather than spreading the cost over a number of years. Others claim the initial work needed to get a property ready for rent immediately instead of spreading the cost over a number of years,” Ms Foat said. Repairs or maintenance to restore something that’s broken, damaged or deteriorating in a property you already rent out are deductible immediately. Improvements or renovations are categorised as

| Saturday 4 July, 2020 |

Factors such as reserving the property or leaving it vacant over peak periods, not charging the market rate and the types of terms and conditions of the bookings are all taken into consideration when deciding if active and genuine efforts are being made to ensure a property is available for rent. If a property is not genuinely available for rent, you need to limit your deductions to the days when it is. If you are allowing friends or family to stay in the property at a reduced price, you need to limit your deductions to the amount of rent received for these periods. Don’t forget to include all your rental income, especially from sharing economy platforms. We are matching data received from these providers to information in tax returns and will be following up discrepancies.

POOR RECORD-KEEPING The number one cause of the ATO disallowing a claim is taxpayers being unable to produce receipts or other documents to support a claim. Furnishing fraudulent or doctored records will attract higher penalties and may also result in prosecution.

DROUGHT, BUSHFIRES, FLOODS, THE CORONAVIRUS… JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO GO BACK IN THE WATER; IT’S TAX TIME 2020. (PICTURE: JOHN KICH).

TROUBLESOME 2020 TAX TO CAUSE ADVICE DELAYS Drought, bushfires, floods, the coronavirus… just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water; it’s tax time 2020. The extraordinary events around the 2019/2020 financial year could, however, see delays before all necessary tax information is available to lodge tax returns.

during the year, JobSeeker and certain termination payments remain subject to tax, and income from gig economy activities such as ride-sharing and odd jobs may also be taxable,” Ms Kasapidis added.

To make things a little easier for those businesses buffeted and battered by recent events, CPA (Certified Practising Accountant) Australia has provided some useful tips for taxpayers ranging from local small businesses, sole operators, to students.

“If you’re in business, check that you’re up to date on employee payments, superannuation contributions, asset purchases or trust obligations by 30 June. After 30 June is when you need to bring your records together and get to a tax agent to lodge your income tax return and possibly other tax forms.

“COVID-19 has affected the incomes and businesses of many Australians, and these impacts can have tax consequences, so it’s critical to get your tax affairs in order and be aware of available concessions,” CPA Australia’s tax policy adviser, Elinor Kasapidis said. However, Ms Kasapidis warned employees and investors that it may take a few weeks after 30 June before all their necessary tax information is available to lodge their tax return. “While many taxpayers might be tempted to lodge early this year, the pre-filled data in tax returns from third parties, such as banks and employers, means that many tax returns may not be ready for lodgement until late July — or even mid-August.

“It is important to be aware that the government and ATO have provided tax support and specific guidance related to COVID-19, and the ATO will be using software and other means to check that claims are correct,” Ms Kasapidis said.

COVID-19 issues for business include losses, cancelled contracts, rent forgiveness, renegotiated loans, bad debts, income from certain government grants, trading stock and private company loan repayments. “A tax professional can check that the JobKeeper claims and GST adjustments by a business have been done correctly,” Ms Kasapidis said.

HOW DO THEY WORK? WHAT COVID TESTS TELL US.

NEARLY THREE MILLION LOWURGENCY EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS More than one-third of emergency department (ED) presentations in 2018–19 were for lower urgency care according to a new report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). Some of these presentations could have been managed by GPs or community health services. The report, Use of emergency departments for lower urgency care: 2015–16 to 2018–19, includes information for Primary Health Network regions and local (SA3) areas across Australia. “In 2018–19, 35% of hospital ED presentations (2.9 million) were classified as lower urgency, down from 38% in 2015–16,” AIHW spokesperson, Michael Frost said. EDs provide care for people who require urgent, and often life-saving, medical attention.

While coronavirus testing is all the rage, unless you’ve had one, most people are unaware of what they actually entail. Testing for COVID-19 are designed to offer much-needed information to help understand and manage this viral infection on an individual, local, national and global level. “The most reliable way to test someone for a current COVID-19 infection is with what we call a ‘PCR test,’ which is the test being administered at the COVID-19 clinics around the country right now,” Dr Jill Thistlethwaite (GP) said. “A PCR test can detect the virus which causes COVID-19 if it’s present on a swab, usually taken from the back of your nose and throat. “However, medical tests are rarely 100% accurate and there have been people with COVID-19 whose initial PCR test results were negative, so it is important to follow your

health professional’s advice. This may still include a period of isolation even if your test result is negative,” she says. Another kind of test is a serology test, also known as an antibody test, but at the moment these tests have a very limited role. “A COVID-19 serology test uses a blood sample to help indicate if you’ve had a COVID-19 infection in the past. They are not used for diagnosis of a current infection,” says Dr Thistlethwaite. Being informed and following the latest evidence-based advice are the best ways to protect you and your family during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ask your GP, pharmacist or other health professional if you have questions about your medicines and COVID-19.

New medical places open at CSU Orange Charles Sturt University will be allocated an additional five medical Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) at the medical school in Orange. The medical school is part of the Australian Government’s MurrayDarling Medical Schools Network initiative that will help address the significant shortage of doctors in rural Australia. Local Federal Member, Andrew Gee, welcomed the announcement of the five new medical places, which brings the total number of CSPs at Charles Sturt University to 37. “This is great news for Charles Sturt University’s medical school and the broader Calare community,” Mr Gee said.

“Doctors, nurses and allied health professionals are critical to the health and wellbeing of country Australia, particularly now, as we work towards a post-COVID world.

“The Australian Government is committed to the health and prosperity of country Australia, and we will continue to work alongside our country universities and communities to

Lower urgency cases are those where people are assessed as needing semi-urgent (triage category 4: should be seen within 1 hour) or non-urgent care (category 5: should be seen within 2 hours) and does not include people who arrived by ambulance or police, were subsequently admitted to hospital or died. Across Australia, the use of EDs for lower urgency care ranged from 53 presentations per 1,000 people in Queensland’s Darling Downs and West Moreton Primary Health Network region, to 333 per 1,000 people in the Western NSW Primary Health Network region. Close to half of all lower urgency presentations (45% or 1.3 million) were for people aged under 25; children under 15 represented 29% (or 852,000) of all lower urgency cases. Just under half (47%) of all lower urgency ED presentations were after-hours. People aged under 65 were more likely to present after-hours (48% of presentations for this age group) than people aged 65 and over (39% of presentations for this age group).

“The new medical CSPs will create opportunities for local kids to become local doctors – and will increase the number of country medical professionals within our community. “We know students who successfully complete their studies in a country area are more likely to stay, with seven out of ten graduates from regional universities going on to work and live in country Australia.

However, many people present to the ED for health conditions that may be managed more appropriately and effectively in a different health care setting, such as through their general practitioner or a community walk-in clinic.

Mr Frost noted that not all lower urgency patients could be treated in a primary health care setting. “For instance, an elderly person living in a small regional town who fractures their arm may be more appropriately treated at an ED rather than their local GP,” Mr Frost said. n Local Federal Member, Andrew Gee, welcomed the announcement of the five new medical places, which brings the total number of CSPs at Charles Sturt University to 37.

improve rural training opportunities and ensure the future distribution of the medical workforce,” Mr Gee said.

| Saturday 4 July, 2020 |

“This person may receive a triage category of 4 or 5 but may have pre-existing health conditions and need diagnostic imaging tests not readily available at the GP. “Understanding how and when people use EDs can help improve decision-making, service planning, and care coordination,” Mr Frost concluded.

VOLUNTEER STEVE THE PLOUGHS LONELY Barracker

FURROW DURING SPORTING WINTER Everyone volunteers, from the nine board members down, they all chip-in,” he said. “From coaches of the Wallas (young juniors) to grounds staff, we’d have maybe 50 people volunteering in some form or another.”

SOMEONE’S GOT TO DO IT, YOU JUST WORK AWAY, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING’S OKAY... With two away games to start the shortened seasons — Forbes and then Bathurst Bulldogs — the club is keen as mustard for a good crowd for their first home game, the local derby against City. “They’ve recruited really well and we’re expecting a good game,” he said.

n Steve Quilty at Emu’s Rugby Club. Volunteers keeping local clubs going during the long, lonely 2020 sporting winter.

by DAVID DIXON

It’s not just the players, fans, and officials who have missed-out during our lost winter of local sport, it is also the mostly-unseen volunteers like Steve Quilty at Emu’s Rugby Club. Steve recently cut a lonely but contented figure at Emu’s — going-over the grounds, cleaning-up around the grandstands, keeping the sheds neat and tidy, waiting for the local premiership’s big restart on Saturday, July 18. “You know how it is with us old guys, we don’t mind being left to ourselves,” he explained, getting-out the blower vac for another round of tidying-up around the outer. A relative of internationally-

acclaimed Australian painter, Ben Quilty, he is one of the army of volunteers that keep country sport going, year-in, year-out. “Someone’s got to do it, you just work away, making sure everything’s okay... You must have a quiet news-day, if you’re talking to me,” he laughs. Emu’s Vice-President Nigel Staniforth said that volunteers including Steve are the essence of local clubs like Emus: “They’re a big part of every club.

With the large surrounds of their main oval, they expect to be able to handle a homecrowd of around 1000 without breaching social distancing rules. “The crowd should be around normal, we’re hoping.” Despite the shortened seasons, the local rugby powerhouse will have plenty of teams in most grades for the coming season including from under sixes through to under 16s in the juniors plus firsts, seconds, thirds (maybe), a women’s team, and U/18s. “We’re quite a big club, we’ve been a little bit surprised actually. But that’s down to good leadership from our board who have worked hard to get us back-up and running as quickly as possible,” he said. Meanwhile volunteers like Steve keep-on keeping-on in their solitary vigils until, once again, the line-out calls; referee’s whistle; and the cries, cheers, and boos of the crowd, echo around this local sporting institution. “You just work-away, making sure everything is okay. I mean, if people came for a function and the place looked run-down, the carpets not clean. Well, it’s not a good look, is it?” “In the end, we are all salesmen,” he concluded.

IS MOTOR-RACING, REALLY TRULY A PROPER SPORT? Listening to the pompous bloviations of a pampered racing car driver about the latest fashionable cause the other day, brought-up some uncomfortable truths about the industry. Someone online commented that the world-renowned motoring marque that this driver gets paid millions to cruise around in each year has a somewhat, how shall we say, “problematic” history regarding the use of indentured (ie slave labour) during one of the conflagrations of the mid-20th century. Ignoring the rather vexed issue of why anyone should listen to a racing car driver’s opinion about race relations, the issue broughtup a wider question. Is motorracing a sport in the true sense of the term. Self-promoting Formula I supremo Bernie Ecclestone once declared the grand prix series as “the greatest show on earth”. That it could be one could argue, but that doesn’t make it the greatest “sport” on earth. Would test cricket, that gruelling measure of skill, temperament, concentration, and physical courage, be as enthralling if Steve Smith was allowed to use a bat three centimetres wider than everyone else’s? Or if Mitchell Starc was allowed to bring his own ball that had been technicallyengineered to swing late at his direction? Yet this is what essentially happens with motor-racing. The driver’s main piece of equipment their cars, are — within the specifications of the sport — constantly fine-tuned and reengineered to provide greater power, steering, handling, and braking. The aim with all these teams, engineers, mechanics, and aerodynamic experts, is to provide a technical advantage to your driver so that your driver wins, earning the plaudits, prizemoney, prestige, and celebrity on a worldrenowned basis. Yet how good would one of the socalled champion drivers perform in a less technically-advanced car? Not very good, likely. A real-time experiment was held a number of years ago when an Australian Formula I driver who had only a few years before won the world championship, drove in a production car in the Bathurst 1000.

This esteemed, internationallyfamous driver finished mid-field up against the local hacks at Mt Panorama, mostly earning a petulant reputation for publiclybemoaning the rubbish car he was being asked to drive. Production car driving was of course an attempt to overcome this problem of money over talent determining who won major racing events by attempting to provide identical cars to all drivers so that skill, talent, and courage would alone be the determining factor in races. However once the large motor racing groups got involved in the sport as means to promote their brands, the same issues of technical advantage again appeared. And then there is the conduct of the drivers. Would any real sport allow for over-entitled participants to intentionally wreck their competitors vehicles so as to ruin their chances of victory, and thereby ensure their own? Formula I enthusiasts might recall the white-hot rivalry in the late 1980s and early 1990s between legendary Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna and his French rival, Alain Prost. Both were plausibly accused of intentionally causing accidents that denied their rival a chance to win the Formula I while ensuring their own victory. That’s not to mention German Michael Shumaker, one of the greatest drivers ever, who by an uncanny chance of fate managed to destroy rival driver’s vehicles on a number of occasions when they threatened his hold on the world title. Cheating is as old as sport itself, but in real sports, there is a penalty for intentional foul-play. Drivers in Formula I rarely if ever suffer any penalty for what are seemingly-intentional fouls on their opponents. Watching the excitement and pageantry of a close, hard-fought race between two super-skilled drivers is one of world sports great events. No-one denies that the drivers are great sportsmen showing the same courage, athleticism, and focus of any great athlete. But being a great sportsman doesn’t mean that you’re competing in a real sport.

He incorrectly states that “fishing was specifically endorsed under Council’s own Management Plan.” The Plan that Cr Romano is referring to was prepared in 2013, was never presented to a Council meeting, nor put on public exhibition, and not endorsed by Council. It is used by Council staff only as an operational guide when implementing the objectives of the endorsed Plan of Management for Ploughmans Valley, adopted by Council in 2006. Council staff determined that fishing in the Wetlands did not meet the objectives of this Plan, and so was deemed to be a prohibited activity, and this has always been the case. So again, Cr Romano is not correct in saying that the Wetland “should have been always opened for fishing and fishing was always allowed there.” This is not true! Furthermore, local children have never been seen as a problem with fishing. The most recent damage to the Wetland vegetation has been caused by irresponsible adults, not children. It is also disappointing that Cr Romano did not support the proposal for a fishing and viewing platform which would have provided a safer facility for all users. Children have for years enjoyed harmless fishing and yabbying, playing in the old willow tree and in the creek, and cycling everywhere, and really enjoying themselves.

In your Newswatch article ‘Fishing’s Back On’ Council’s Deputy Mayor gets it wrong, not once but repeatedly. It’s important to set the record straight. “Recreational fishing was specifically endorsed under Council’s own management plan… the truth is, that it should have been always opened for fishing and fishing was always allowed there.” Wrong! The 2006 Plan of Management endorsed by Council makes no mention of fishing and there has always been permanent signage at the wetlands saying ‘no fishing.’ While the 2013 wetlands management study lists fishing as one of a number of activities that COULD be permissible, no decision was ever made to do so and the study was never endorsed by Council. “This was simply another attempt to deny local children the outdoor fun of fishing.” Wrong! Community members and Councillors advocating for the rescission motion spoke about enabling fishing to happen in a safe and environmentally sensitive way that respects the wetlands’ primary function as a stormwater harvesting facility and wildlife habitat. “The push to ban fishing at the location was driven by a small group of activists who are ‘trying to stop people enjoying themselves.’” Wrong! A spokesman for the group addressed Council on two occasions and spoke about the range of ways that children and people of all ages currently enjoy the wetlands. And the fact that people can enjoy the wetlands has a lot to do

with this group. The Ploughmans Wetlands Care Group, like most community organisations, is made up of a number of dedicated volunteers. These people have put in hundreds of hours to help make the wetlands what they are today. For one of our civic leaders to make no effort to meet with them, refuse to listen to them and then disparage them for voicing an opinion is not only wrong, it’s an abuse of the Deputy Mayoral role and responsibilities.
