Talking POINTS

with DAVID DIXON

Interesting subject at last week’s Council meeting was a motion by Councillor Kevin Duffy regarding slander and libels. =e Council resolved to get someone to come and talk to the councillors in a closed session on the issue with several of our elected good and great curious about whether there was a specific issue that caused the matter to be raised. Most people are aware that our ratheronerous laws of defamation don’t actually apply both State and Federal Parliaments with MPs allowed to say pretty much anything they want to. However, as local government is not (yet) recognised in our Constitution, there are in effect few legal protections for those speaking at Council meetings. On a general note, our ouncillors still appear to have a problem in making definite decisions about DA, especially when any objection whatsoever is raised by the public, and despite what Council staff invariably recommend. =e proposed solar farm is the latest case in point. On that matter, our intrepid elected leader, Cr Kidd, recently visited a giant solar power farm outside the city of Wagga Wagga. He wanted to have a look at how the renewable energy provider operates with proposal for a five mega-watt solar farm for the Molong Road currently up before Council. One of our readers was curious about why the Level 2 Water Restrictions specify the hours of 6–9pm each altern te evening for watering their garden. =e reader felt that these hours should perhaps be later in the evening to avoid the still-hot sun at that daylight-saving time. Apparently though, Council will consider applications by affected individuals to amend those hours under request.

FOR ORANGE

Parking fine reprieve for drivers continues Seeking to ensure we all have a slightly-less stressed Christmas, Orange Council is continuing its policy of issuing warnings for most vehicles overstaying the time-limits in the CBD. For many drivers, warnings are still being issued rather than ﬁnes to help our main street in its post-COVID-19 recovery.

VEry quickly

Nis leniency, however, doesn’t apply for those illegally parked in No Parking, No Stopping, loading zones, bus zones, taxi-zones, or disabled parking spots. Nese drivers will receive the full ﬁne as per usual.

Harmony Day success at Naidoc Week While many events at this year’s Naidoc Week, including the Naidoc street march were cancelled due to COVID-19, the traditional Harmony Cup football match went ahead. Ne Harmony Cup is a soccer match between local Indigenous and multicultural soccer teams and includes Indigenous and multicultural dance and food to highlight how we are all one people.

Drivers are asked to enjoy the temporaryreprieve, because in the new year, “Robo-cop”, Orange Council’s mobile parking patrol, is back on the road. Unlike the parking officers who mark tyres before coming back sometime later to book these who have overstayed, Robocop offers no such visual clue. He is relentless, never sleeps, offers no warnings, and strikes like a thief in the night!

WALKING A MILE ON OUR NEW FOOTPATHS Sound of power drills and sledgehammers is testament to a major footpath building program going on around our streets.

Making Orange a more “walkable” city is one of the aims of the multi-million-dollar Future City program with Council putting their money where their mouth is by tripling spending on building concrete footpaths this ﬁnancial year. Council is spending $550,000 creating new footpaths and $350,000 renewing old footpaths this ﬁnancial year for a total of $900,000 allocated in the 2020/21 budget.

Ne spending is part of a threeyear boost to footpath funding for the city, with a further $750,000 slated for next year and $600,000 the year ajer that.

Nis ﬁnancial year, about 13 new footpaths will be built in areas around the city identiﬁed as being missing links in the network that are most in need of a footpath, such as locations close to schools, nursing homes and shops, or where there are safety issues. Another nine failing footpaths are being replaced. Nere are also nine new footpaths being installed in north Orange, which are funded by developer contributions.

Wine to help Wires wombats Cicadas saved after long sleEp Little Giant Wine has partnered with wildlife rescue organisation to support the work it does in rescuing and treating wombats who are facing increasing threats from habitat loss, vehicle collisions and disease. The funding received from the sales of Little Giant goes towards WIRES who help thousands of wombats who have suffered injuries from bushfires, vehicle collisions and a commonly occurring skin infection, mange, which if left untreated can cause a slow and painful death. “We are incredibly grateful for the support of Little Giant Wine whose contribution enables our volunteers to help sick and injured wombats grow up and live happy and healthy lives,” WIRES CEO Leanne Taylor said.

Young Connor Dunn recently rescued two cicada’s that got stuck on the tape around telegraph poles advertising a petition opposing re-development of public housing in east Orange. So as not to have wasted their 17-odd years as pupae underground, he gave them some leaves to sit amongst and a safe space (a food container) to recover, naming one “Mr Green” (on the right) and the other “Tiger”.

COVID driving online Chrissie shopping Recent ﬁgures for Christmas 2020 shows even more the importance of Orange shoppers supporting local retailers this festive season. In a sign of how the coronavirus may have changed our shopping habits permanently, research reveals that online Christmas shopping by Australians is expected to almost double compared to previous years. Shopping in-store is set to decrease, with respondents saying they plan to do only half their Christmas shopping in-store: a 30 per cent year-on-year decrease from 75 per cent of Christmas shopping being done in-store previously. Over a third of Australians are more stressed about Christmas shopping this year due to COVID-19 and there is particular concern over the Christmas rush, with a quarter of Australians claiming they don’t feel comfortable shopping in-store due to crowds this year. Nese factors are likely driving increased virtual shopping as 36 per cent believe shopping online is less stressful than dealing with crowds in stores.

POST-PANDEMIC BOOM SEES “SEISMIC SHIFT” TO THE BUSH Familyfirst makes the push to the bush the best, Donato Country beats city in the one major metric of lifestyle that really matters, Local Member — and former City-boy — Phil Donato believes.

“Seismic shiW” in post-COVID Australia has seen Orange grow with the same net population last year as Sydney is expecting this year. And that’s in raw ﬁgures, not percentages. Ze population of greater Sydney is forecast to rise by just 500 people in the year to next June and that’s exactly what Orange experienced last recorded year. “it’s a seismic shiW in how our city is growing,” Orange Mayor and the Colour City’s number one fan, Councilor Reg Kidd said. While Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Demographer Andrew Howe says that “it is early days” to see whether the century-old country city drift has reversed, the coronavirus pandemic could only be accelerating trends that were already apparent in NSW.

recorded year. “Orange Local Government area increased by about 500 last financial year,” he said. He said though that even pre-pandemic, the central west had been the beneﬁciary of people moving to the bush from the big smoke. “Our most recent ﬁgures for the region show about 4500 people moving from Sydney to the central west each year.” He said that many of these movements would be for reasons of education and employment. He said that a strong move by Sydney people coming bush, anecdotally-supported by observations in the local tourism, real estate, and hospitality markets in recent months, is supported by Victoria figures.

“It’s been an outﬂow of people from Sydney than the other way,” he said.

“Melbourne going into stricter lockdown saw a noticeable change in their migration patterns. ey had an outflow of minus 8000. hat is the first time since 1997 that more people moved from Victorian to NSW than the other way,” he said.

He said that people who are moving to the country are doing so for quality of life reasons.

He said that the most recent ABS figures were for the June quarter which would not really reflect internal migration data.

“ t’s probably more the older population that are moving-out for the country life… there’s more from the city to the country at this stage,” he explained.

“ he next figures in about March will show if the pandemic has changed those figures, that will be a really interesting result,” he said.

“A lot would be to do with lifestyle funded by their retirement. Zey want to downsize and have a good quality of life.”

NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes says the COVID-19 pandemic will have the greatest influence on reshaping Sydney since the Spanish flu and the mass adoption of motor vehicles last century.

“In recent times, it’s more the other way around with more people moving out of Sydney than the other way ” he said.

He said that Orange had been the direct recipient of this internal migration with a net gain in the hundreds in the last

His comments come as the population of greater Sydney is forecast to rise by just 500 people in the year to next June due to a slump in people migrating from overseas. Zat compares with projections before COVID-19 for the city to grow by 92,500 people in the same period. Cr Kidd said that evidence he had heard about the number of people wanting to make the push to Orange indicated a “seismic shiW” in how country areas are perceived by city dwellers. “It’s a boom time for country towns, Wagga, Dubbo, Bathurst, the Central Coast. “COVID saw people going-out and seeing places they’ve never been to before. “”We’ve all found how easy it is to work from home,” he added. He said that the excessive price of Sydney housing, among the highest in the world, has seen a boom in local real estate by treechangers making the move. “Look at the house you can buy here and one you get in Sydney for $1 million and the employment rates here are on par with Sydney or better.” He said that the experience almost 30 years ago of NSW Agriculture staﬀ who made the move here was a case in how quickly people adopt to the country life. “So many of those people didn’t want to move here, and when they did, they loved it.” “Once they saw what is out here, they said, ‘isn’t it good?’.” “Sydney is just getting so congested, why would you want live there?” Cr Kidd concluded.

“First thing, it’s a great place to bring-up your family,” Mr Donato, one the thousands of locals who have made the city-country switch says. “It’s got an incredible quality of life with good schools and good communities, why wouldn’t you want to live in the country?” he said. Growing-up above his parent’s fruit shop in Chester Hill in western Sydney before a move first to Moorebank near Liverpool and then Picton south of Sydney, he moved to Orange in 2005. “It’s an ideal place, you’ve got less traffic, less crime, with terrific friendly people.” He believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has shown how easy it is with current technology to work from home with even senior bureaucrats functioning effectively remotely during the big lockdown. “COVID has really shown people the capability of working from home. Why would you not want to work from home rather than a giant office block in Parramatta?” He said that regional centres like Orange, Bathurst and Mudgee providing many of the conveniences and services of larger cities without the drawbacks are on track for a postpandemic boom. “I think there is ample evidence of the numbers of people moving to the area that is consistent with what real estate agents are saying, that the local real estate market is red-hot.” “I love the regions, why would you want to live anywhere else?” he concluded.

Sport stadium could become white elephant — Sullivan SO MUCH FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION OVER THE CONTROVERSIAL PROPOSED SPORTS STADIUM FOR SOUTH ORANGE! Orange City Council has been accused of seeking to make the proposed sports precinct a reality by removing hundreds of trees from the site with a littlepublicised Development Application recently lodged. A>er initially denying that the development application for removal of the trees had been advertised locally, a Council spokesperson said that the DA had been “inadvertently lodged before it was complete” and had since been withdrawn (see attached article). Former much-loved mayor of Orange, Tim Sullivan has now weighed-in on the controversy saying that he believes the new stadium could become a $25 million white elephant for the Colour City. A

outdoor staff supervisor who helped develop the g at the site proposed for the sports stadium also believes it should be preserved as a unique green space in the growing south Orange area. Frame added that the grounds were created thousands of man-hours by patients and staff in the 1960s and contained many unique tree species that should be preserved. New sports stadium developments get a “free-pass” on their cost, environmental and social impact, and lost green space opportunities, opponents of the proposed $25 million Orange Sports Precinct believe. Irreplaceable open areas in south Orange— the need for which have become most apparent during the COVID-19 crisis — will be lost with construction of the precinct planned for the Bloomfield site, they say. A online “Change.org” petition

calls for the proposed precinct — to include cricket and multipurpose ovals, an athletic field and track with covered seating and a rugby union and league field with grandstand and seating mounds to sit 8500 fans — to be reconsidered. Long-time south Orange local Julie Pont said that the permanent loss of “a readymade botanical garden on our doorstep” should see other sites considered for the precinct before any further work continues. Former Mayor, Tim Sullivan (1983–91) who worked at the Bloomfield Hospital for four decades, agrees, saying that he can’t see the stadium representing value for money. “ât area for the stadium was originally all part of the hospital. ê bottom part of Brabham was an aerodrome for light aircraft and the area where the (Ex-Services) golf course was paddock. They would get the patients to walk around and pick-up stones and rocks to golf course and cricket oval,” Mr Sullivan said. “Every section of Bloomfield had a gardener; in the 1960s there were 1200 patients there and they had to be occupied, so they were assigned to the gardener who helped develop the beautiful site that is there now,” he said. He said that claims a large rectangular sports stadium would attract large sporting events could a mirage. “When I was Mayor, one of the things I wasn’t in favour of was the putting all the lights at Brabham. “They said we’d get all these cricket matches, and soccer matches there from major teams, they never came,” he said. The sports stadium with funding promise by the State Government during the last NSW election, could suffer the same fate with major football games already at rival towns, he said. “Mudgee’s Glen Willow stadium has got their oval and they already attract major games, Bathurst attracts major

games here may not be many other (NRL) teams that want to come here,” he said.“I am thinking I’m not sure how much use it will get. I mean it costs Bathurst about $100,000 to subsidise the game each time they go there.” He said that the sudden offer from the Berejiklian Government for the stadium saw the sport precinct proposal suddenly moved from north to south Orange, an area he says it is unsuited for. “Bloomﬁeld is really a health complex with the new hospital, the private hospital, and the University course moving there,” Mr Sullivan said. He said that the European style gardens and trees at the Bloomfield site were planted over decades after advice from the legendary Kew Gardens in London. “All through Bloomfield there are trees not found anywhere in Orange, a lot will have to go, and then you’ve got the parking. There’s not enough parking for the hospital already, where are all the cars going to go?” “It’ll cause a lot of problems and

negative impacts, you’ve got to wonder what we’ll get out of it, and yet you’ve got the north Orange site with not too much trouble at all,” he added. Former Bloomfield colleague Chuck Frame agrees with much of Mr Sullivan’s comments, saying that the south Orange site offers a unique place that should be preserved. “I was assets manager out here, I looked a>er the outdoor staﬀ, the tradies and the work in developing the golf course site,” he said. “I believe that this should be preserved as designated parkland, they’ve been entrusted with the jewel in the crown,” he said. “^ey’ve got some unique species here, they actually sent soil samples and topographical maps and the climate details to Kew Gardens in London, and the head gardener there sent back how it was all to be established and even with seedlings,” he said. “All these plans, they determined the layout and the species and how it would all look, and you are now going to say

we’re building a sport stadium adjacent to it ,” he said. Mr Frame believes that this alone should pause any plans for a sports stadium precinct in south Orange. ” You’ve got unique species here with many horticulturists over the years coming here to study.” “We developed the golf course as part of Bloomﬁeld Hospital with the patients doing it all by hand, we had one giant winch for removing stumps, that was it, with the work supervised by the outdoor staff and even the nurses.

grounds immediately and help identify a new site for the sports precinct. “No community consultation has been undertaken for this enormous facility despite the potential impact on the Orange regional area,” the petition — with about 300 signatures — continues. It draws parallels between the Orange proposal to the muchcriticised multi-billion-dollar stadium rebuild proposal for Sydney’s major football venues; including the Olympic Stadium, completed barely two decades ago.

Ms Pont said that the unique stand of stately pines on the site located on the southern side of Brabham Sports Fields and incorporating the old Ex-Services Golf Club grounds provides a natural green space needed now more than ever.

“We’ve watched the NSW Govt repeat mistake a\er mistake with rebuilding stadiums unnecessarily and without any sense. Who even owns the Bloomﬁeld site to allow this facility to be built on?”

“Has the coronavirus not taught us the importance of fresh air and the great outdoors to maintain health?

“Other sites need to be considered that won’t involve decimating a fabulous site as is.”

“We have a ready-made botanical garden on our doorstep. With little eﬀort, this can be developed to include walking and cycle tracks.” She believes that the trees, decades-old and irreplaceable, and the area’s proximity to both Orange Health Service and future urban development, should preclude its consideration for the sports precinct. “Surely recovering patients from the new hospital precinct adjoining this space would be better-served by being able to walk in a bit of nature, than gazing out on slabs of cement. “Qere is plenty of degraded land elsewhere — in close proximity to Orange central — for a sports stadium without destroying over 400 beautiful, majestic trees,” she added. Qe Change-org petition — directed to local Member, Phil Donato, (a supporter of the project) asks Orange Council to stop work on the Bloomﬁeld

Comments on the change.org petition have made similar points:

“No public consultation. Plenty of other sites. And where’s the 50-metre indoor pool in your plans?” “As a patient in the hospital, it was a pleasure to look out the windows and see the kangaroos, birds and other animals that call the golf course home. What happened to consultation?”

Whoops! Council’s premature application for tree removal Orange City Council suffered an embarrassing case of premature application recently when a development application (DA) to remove 513 trees from the proposed sports stadium site at south Orange had to be withdrawn. Opponents of the siting of the sports precinct — claiming that Council is intending to push-through the stadium without proper community consultation — were recently incensed to see a small DA published proposing removal of hundreds of trees at the site. Orange City Council initially claimed that there was no such DA on the work but amended this once the hard-copy of the DA was produced, saying that the whole thing was simply a mistake. “Qe DA for the proposed removal of trees, to make way for the new sports precinct, is the first of a number of steps towards gaining planning approval for this project,” Orange City Council Communications Officer, Allan Reeder said. “It’s an important project and it’s important the community gets access to good information about the proposal,” he added. “Qe DA is a large document. It includes an independent environmental assessment and details the numbers and kinds of trees proposed to be removed. “Qis DA document was inadvertently-lodged before it was complete. Qe DA has now been withdrawn,” he explained. “It will be lodged when it is complete and once all required documents have been added. It’s expected that will happen in early December, when it will be available for community comment,” Mr Reeder concluded.

“Bloomﬁeld is a very old place and is historic. Qere are better places for this!” Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd recently told , that: “a major project like this is still subject to the normal checks and balances, planning assessments and opportunities for community input.” Mr Sullivan said Council should revisit their original plans for the stadium complex in the fast-growing area around the northern distributor. “I mean, I was former president of CYMS, I love football as much as anyone, but if it is built, it should go in north Orange,” he said.

Watching garden grow no need for rigid water rules Good news for keen gardeners unhappy with Orange City Council’s prescribed Level 2 Water Restrictions, you can change them! Home-owners are entitled to contact Orange City Council to request to have their two watering periods for their gardens and lawns amended to suit their work hours, lifestyle, or garden requirements. However, hours will still be restricted to the three hours morning, three hours evening currently in place. Home-owners won’t be allowed to return to the free-for-all of the past where ratepayers just watered their garden and lawns at will. Newswatch was recently contacted by a homeowner currently establishing a new garden who feels that the current hours are too rigid. he ratepayer believes that it is still too hot for much of the evening watering period which can lead to extensive water loss through evaporation and the danger of establishing plants being “burnt” through water application at a hot time of day. Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said, however that the set watering times, (6–9am, 6-9pm daylight saving) on alternate days deﬁned by odds and even house numbers, have been assigned aNer much thought and discussion of issues to do with peak wateruse periods, industry needs, home-owner

convenience, and summer-time temperatures. “Oese water periods have been set by our experts, water management people, with consideration for the best time to reduce evaporation and the like,” Cr Kidd explained. “But there are people who work at the mines, work late, do odd shiN-work hours, and the like, who simply aren’t home at these hours to regularly water. Or they may have health issues to do with the time of day, temperatures and other problems.” “Oe truth is, if someone came in and said, ‘I’m not back home until 9 o’clock most days, we’d consider it. “If they wrote us a letter and said, ‘I’m at 27 so-and-so street and I work at these times and I’m not home at those hours,’ I’m sure we’d look at it sympathetically,” he said. He said though that allowing everyone to set their own hours in the current water situation simply wouldn’t work. “You can’t have a situation where everyone just says, ‘I want to water at midday and 3am,’ it would be impossible to monitor and keep check-on, we wouldn’t know how much they were watering and simply couldn’t keep track of water-use,” he said.

Level 2 water restrictions are currently in force for all areas of Orange City Council including Spring Hill and Lucknow. Failure to comply with these restrictions can result in on-the-spot fines of $220 with a maximum penalty of $2000.

If your property has a range of street numbers then it should be treated as odd or even as per the first number in the range eg if your property is 12-15 Smith Street then you can water on even days in accordance with the restrictions.

This means that if the street number of your property is odd you can water in accordance with the restrictions on odd days. If your property has an even number you can water in accordance with the restrictions on even days.

If your property has no street number then it should be treated as an even property eg if your property is "Tara" then you can water on even days in accordance with the restrictions.

East Orange public housing plan to blight suburb, locals Long-term residents have been told they are being forcibly-relocated from solid 1950s brick bungalow houses in Spring Street and Summer Place to be replaced by multi-unit complexes, locals opposing the development say. Cey believe that this will jeopardise a sudden rise in popularity with younger families moving into the ageing suburb because of its “inner-city feel”. Eight public housing homes in the area are believed to be aﬀected in Spring St and Summer Place with the letter from the “Ce Team Leader, Department of Communities and Justice Housing NSW, Western NSW stating bluntly: “NSW Land and Housing Corporation intends to redevelop the property in which you currently live. Cis means that you will need to be relocated to alternative accommodation.” Ce local’s public campaign against the move has, however, already grabbed the attention of NSW Upper House MP for the area, Sam Farraway MLC who has agreed to see locals onsite to hear their concerns about the proposed development.

Ce area is currently an integrated mixed public/private housing area with historic homes adjacent to tidy and well-kept public housing properties. “Cis is the perfect example of where these things are working and working well,” Spring St resident Deanne Phillips (OAM) said. “Public housing should be proud of what the situation is here.” Living opposite some of the aﬀected properties in the historic Victorian house “Strathroy”(1884) — home of the East Orange municipality’s ﬁrst two mayors Josiah Parker and James Bonnor — she said that the area has a friendly village feel with everyone getting-on. “Cere’s a really strong feeling of community with people from all backgrounds and experience.” Ce houses in question are neat and wellkept mid-20th century bungalows typical of the era, she said. “Cey’re very solid double-brick homes built in 1953. Ce tragedy is that the Land and Housing Corporation view them as only

suitable for demolition,” Ms Phillips said. Ce proposed redevelopment could not have come at a worse time for the area, she believes. “East Orange is now beneﬁtting from investments by young people seeking inner-city living and who are buying-up and restoring older homes,” she said. “Cere’s now an exciting buzz to the community and all that will be stopped, it will be ruined by high-density villas,” she believes. “these people don’t want multistory housing beside them.” Ms Phillips added that the residents the public housing now felt powerless against their effective landlord, a large government agency. “Cey’re feeling that they don’t have a voice, one couple are in their 80s and have beautifully-manicured lawns and have been in the same house for years.” “It’s outrageous, here is the perfect match of public and private housing, we’re really good neighbours and we support each other, and now they want to come in and destroy the area,” she said. Resident Justine Dunn lives in an historic 19th century workers cottage beside three of the homes targeted for redevelopment and says that appeals to the Land and Housing Corporation for information have gone unheeded. “As yet, we cannot get one bugger to tell us what’s going on, we simply don’t know,” she said. “Why are you destroying these houses? Cey want to cram as many houses as possible into this area. Cey should just show us the plans, we have no idea what they are doing,” she said.

Historic Victorian house “Strathroy”(1884) — home of the East Orange municipality’s ﬁrst two mayors Josiah Parker and James Bonnor.

She said that those opposing the development understand that public housing is a public asset, but the top-down nature of the decisions is its worrying feature.

“I was gob smacked; it was a bit of a shock really. We understand that this is public housing and not their own homes, but it’s the reasons that they want them to move that we object to.” She said that three residents in Spring St have received the letters with at least two more in Summer St east and two in the Summer Place cul de sac. “All of these houses are 1950s homes, they’re really solid and double-brick, they’re lovely places,” she said. Residents of the properties themselves were reticent about publicly opposing their evictions or the proposed redevelopment due to concerns about the consequences for their own eligibility for future public housing, she said. Ms Dunn said that proposals for highdensity housing will destroy the old-style feel of the neighbourhood. “What are we going to end up with? Units backed-up against suburban fences?” Ce area is strictly mid-20th century Australian suburban and utterly unsuited to concentration of housing in the area. “I grew up in the house next door and my Dad lived there since he was seven.” She said that having public housing is not the issue, but the destruction of 1950s bungalows that complement the mixed housing area. “We’re not being snobs about living next door to ‘Housing Commission’ properties, the question is, how are you progressing as a society if you’re crushing people into high-density housing?” “Ceir mission statement is to not create huge housing commission areas, but that’s what they’re doing here. “Cese are very vulnerable people, and they are just going to kick them out and ask them to go somewhere else, it’s not good enough,” Ms Dunn concluded.

Angle parking helping make city more walker-friendly

“I like back-in parking,” Cr Kidd said in response to plans under Orange Council’s Future City plan to transform the centre of Orange into a more walkable precinct with proposed nose-in parking for the CBD. “You can park right in front of the shop you want to go to, and then when you leave, you just drive straight-off,” he said in defence of our current rear-to-kerb parking. “While detailed arrangements are still to be decided, it’s intended that nose-in parking would be introduced in the CBD area bounded by Peisley and Hill Streets, and from Kite to Byng Street,” the Future City proposals however, states (see attached article). Se Future City proposal lists a number of supposed benefits of f ront-in parking including ensuring traffic flowing more readily and keeping vehicle emissions away from the footpath and outdoor diners. Vikki Bradwell from north of the border agrees: “I’m a Queenslander and I don’t know any better,” she laughed. “I come from the Gold Coast and it’s all front-in up there, it’s what I’m used to.”

In fact, it says rear-to-kerb parking is illegal in a number of jurisdictions, such as South Australia.

Austroads prefers nose-in parking because: • It keeps traffic flowing in a one lane traffic environment.

Nose-in parking is one proposal put forward as part of Orange Council’s Future City plan to transform the centre of Orange into a more walkable precinct. Se idea to replace rear-to-kerb parking and parallel parking in the CBD, including for Summer St, aims to slow cars down to make the area more pedestrian-friendly while at the same time keeping traffic flowing to avoid delays and frustration for motorists. While detailed arrangements are still to be decided, it’s intended that nose-in parking would be introduced in the CBD area bounded by Peisley and Hill Streets, and from Kite to Byng Street. Austroads Guide to Traffic Management 2020 says angled parking can accommodate up to twice as many vehicles as parallel parking and nose-in angled parking is the preferred option in most situations.

• Vehicle exhaust emissions face away from the footpath, pedestrians and outdoor dining.

“It’s quicker and easier to get in and out,” she said. Matt Charles says that many towns such as West Wyalong have front-in parking and it is something that you simply get used to. Dave Cole like most locals interviewed disagreed, saying that he felt that rear-in parking was more secure and aestheticallyappealing.

• Vacant spaces are clearly visible and a motorist is able to slow down and move directly into a parking space causing little delay to following motorists. • Drivers reversing out from the parking bay can select a time when passing traﬃc will not be disrupted. • A stationary driver about to reverse into the parking bay tends to disrupt passing traﬃc by trapping a vehicle behind.

“I totally agree with the current parking, it’s both safer and it looks better. It’s also easier to get-out with rear-to-kerb parking,” he added.

• When parking, motorists can view high kerbs and footpath obstructions more easily. • Cars are not reversing into a pedestrian environment. Vehicle attachments such as tow bars and bicycle racks also pose a hazard to pedestrians when overhanging the edge of the kerb.

“I ﬁnd front to kerb too confusing,” Kathy Sielicki said. “I know that Victorians have that, but you don’t change the NSW rules just to suit what they’re doing.” “We don’t want to be Mexicans,” she laughed.

Adrianne Seymour said she doubted that Orange’s relatively-narrow streets could support nose-in parking successfully. “I prefer backing in, you’re careful watching what you do, and then going-out front ways. I think it’s safer, also, I don’t think our streets are wide enough,” she added. Amanda Smith was another local against changing the way we park. “I think it’s a bad idea. I know we have wide streets, and the current system gives everyone room to drive up and down without too many delays,” she said Ben Cooke has been driving on local roads for more than 60 years and thinks now is not the time to turn to the dark-side. “I’d rather have our way. You’re backing out otherwise and you’re not looking,” he said. “I’ve been up to Queensland where it’s common and I think it’s risky, particularly when you are getting-out,” he believes. Another lifetime local, James Williams, is another against the proposal: “I don’t like the idea of reversing into traffic, it’s a safety issue,” he said. “Cootamundra’s got it and I go around the town when I pass through just to avoid it, that’s what I think of it,” he said. Sue Duchnaj says that the move towards nosein parking has only shown the problems that it creates. “It’s been tried in a number of towns and simply hasn’t worked.” “I don’t like reversing out into traffic, it’s a safety issue. It hasn’t worked in other towns that have tried it.” She said that the physical strain of backing-out into traffic is also more taxing and difficult: “When you drive out, you’re looking straight ahead. When you are reversing, you’re twisting and turning to see what’s coming behind you, it’s far more stressful,” she added. Rachel Baseggio (with daughter Sophia) described the proposal as a waste of money. “Sere’s plenty of parking around at the moment, why would we change? “Sere’s the Woolies car-park, the underground car-park, it’s simply not necessary,” she believes. Last word goes to Cr Kidd who said that nothing has been yet been set in concrete on the proposal. “At the moment, we’re just throwing-it out there to see what people want,” he concluded.

A-DAY FOR POP-UP ART WITH GRAND OPENING SATURDAY Orange’s first art-shop pop-up launches next week with a diverse group of four local art groups displaying original works. Next Saturday, November 28 is “A-day” for the innovative project that has been driven by distinguished local artist, Hank Spirek. “Dere will be four groups of artists each with their own ‘pod’… there will not be any featured artists, it’s about all the artists in Orange that rarely get a look in from the elites,” Hank explained of the Summer Centre shop-front exhibition. “We plan on putting up the display screens on the 21st, the works on the 22/23rd, and we open the doors on the 25th. We will have an ‘open door’ on Saturday the 28th,” Hank explained to local art-lovers looking to get in early. Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd — a strong supporter of the innovative proposal to utilise vacant shop-fronts in Orange to display local art works — is pencilled-in for the official opening from about 11am. “That’s great, I’d be proud to do it,” Cr Kidd told . Hank’s efforts to make painting as synonymous with Orange as quality wine, heritage, and good food, had inspired a good-Samaritan to offer the prime shopfront to get the idea started. “De landlord contacted me directly and was very positive,” Hank said excitedly. “De exhibition will go for up four months but maybe a little less depending on how we go,” he said. Attendees won’t have to pre-register

with the art shop operating like any other commercial business in town. “It will be like a regular store. It will be open to the public with COVID marshals making sure we don’t exceed 18 people in the space at one time,” Hank explained. “We’re going to work on a commission basis for art-works sold, so the more we move, the more we make.” Hank, who arrived in Orange only about two years ago, recently harnessed representatives of half a dozen local art societies from the developing “Arts Cooperative” to promote the idea to Council. De sudden offer from the landlord of one of the vacant Summer Centre shopfronts will involve all the local groups who supported the “Art Explosion” pop-up Christmas Art Festival proposal. “De problem’s not going to be finding art to fill-it, the question is how many can we fit in?” Hank said. “De idea is that we will first have art works from all the groups involved in a general exhibition and then we will offer the space for each group for a period of time,” he said. De aim is to show people who may not normally go to an art exhibition the fullrange of works produced in the vibrant local arts scene. “I’m talking to seven different groups at present and the idea is that each group will rotate arounds the space aèr the first exhibition.” De most exciting part of the project is that it has inspired the disparate local arts groups to find common ground on the best way to promote the distinct works from each group.

Standing on the inside; Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd with artists Hank Spirek.

“De whole point is to get the Orange art groups working together, to get the people in the community to generate a little bit of interest in the art scene.” Hank believes that local art could become as important a part of our tourism attraction as our high-altitude wines, good food, beautiful scenery, and heritage. One of the attractions of the gallery popup is that it has the potential to expose locals to affordable art that they may not otherwise consider. “De thing is, we’re not the high-end of art prices, we’re looking at being as reasonable as they can get.” He said though that he would like to see other landlords around town with vacant shops to also consider the benefits of offering their premises for art pop-ups. “If this is a success, it could generate

a bit of energy for the concept, give it a kick-along.” “To really get this going, I’d like to see another shop-owner on the other side of town step-up,” he enthused. He sees the art exhibition as being linked to some of the other cultural attractions of Orange. Groups who are likely to be involved in the exhibition include the Wilderests, Orange Art Society, and the Orange Fauves, the Colour City Creatives, the Orange Sketchers, and Orange Art Society.” Leaders of this developing ‘Arts Cooperative’ recently met with Council staﬀ to present ideas they have for improving the proﬁle of the vibrant arts scene in the Colour City.

COVID-cut coach back on the road of trains, that’s why the direct coach service is so important,” the reader said.

But some good news for a reader who contact recently about the suspension of the privately-run daily coach service to and from Sydney for doctors’ appointments and the like, the service — which shut-down in March — is looking to get back on the road by early December. The reader had used the service a number of times due to the fact that it takes trave ler straight to Central Station in Sydney without having to load and unload at Lithgow on the inter-urban train network as usual with the Country Link coach service. “My grandfather needs to go to Sydney for a doctor’s appointment and he is not in a position to get in out

“Dis service then goes on straight to the domestic and internationally terminals at Sydney airport for travellers also. We’re told to move to the country, but, if you don’t or can’t drive, it’s just so restrictive to try and get around.” A spokesperson for the service, Australia Wide Coaches, said that a new timetable is being developed to get the service back up and running before Christmas. “We are still ascertaining which were our busiest days in the week for the Orange/ Sydney/ Orange daily Express service,” spokesperson Stefan Robinson said. “Dis week, we will make a decision on which days we’ll resume the service (initially on a part time basis, with set days each week) from early December. At this stage, we’re aiming for Friday 4 December as the ﬁrst day it resumes,” Mr Robinson said.

Find me if you “can”? Sometimes we can be so close to something, we can’t see what we’re looking at. This picture is what drivers arriving in Orange at the Bathurst end of town see. Who would ever know there is a public toilet available there? Isn’t it high-time the “Driver Reviver” sign a few hundred metres down the road had something on it to highlight there’s a public toilet ahead? is certain that some visitors would welcome such information.

New paint job The former inn long known as “Kelly’s Rugby Hotel” has recently been given a new paint job. Looks quite attractive! The traditional rusty brown tonings have been replaced with more grey and white colouring. Greys and whites for such buildings must be the flavour of the month because a few of our hotels have also had paint jobs in recent times, all with similar colour schemes.

Trash or treasure? This building in Summer Street created a lot of discussion at Council recently, all over its heritage value. It came-up following a development application (DA) for a new accommodation facility on the site. In today’s world, it’s not unusual for DA’s to have to overcome heritage issues like this one, but good sense appears to have prevailed and the DA has been approved. Interestingly, one compromise discussed was to put photographs of the façade in the foyer of the new accommodation facility.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? The ducks in Cook Park share their pond with this piece of artwork. They don’t seem to mind.

Drivers be warned!

Out of sight!

Unless you take a drive-up Woodward Street over the railway line heading south, you probably won’t know about the considerable building activity happening up in that neck of the woods. It’s a bit of an eye-opener and shows, yet again, that there’s a lot happening in Orange despite the COVID-19 issue. It’s worth taking a tour there just for a look.

Reading parking signs can sometimes be confusing and we’ve all been caught at one time or another, but here’s one you won’t see too often. This is one of the parking signs outside Cook Park in Samson Street. Obviously faded over time and probably won’t cause any problems for drivers, given it’s meant to say 45 degree angle parking, rear-end in and there’s no time limits. Just one more for the Council “to do” list.

Something to do… Currently, there’s a small and somewhat thoughtprovoking exhibition in the Blowes Conservatory in Cook Park that will interest many locals. It’s about one of Orange’s most famous families, the Dalton Family, and it’s worth a look if local history interests you. It’s also a nice use of the facility.

BIRD’S-EYEview with JEANINE BIRD

! u o y o t g n i m o c ” t e s “The Great Re Resetting your Property, Freedom & Mindset You may not know it, but you are being reset in “4e Great Reset”. #e Covid pandemic is meant to be the cover to usher this in, and hopefully, the elites think, would be followed by a war to keep you in the dark. Trump has gotten in their way, making peace deals, bringing troops home, rejecting lock-downs. You think I’m joking? #is has been in the planning for decades. I have talked about the UN and it’s agenda and the global banker’s agendas, and the Great Reset is where they are supposed to come together perfectly. However, if you knew what they had in store for YOU, you may not be so dismissive. #e World Bank, the IMF, the WTO, WHO, in cahoots with Big Media and Big Pharma mates with all the UN agreements, foremost being the Paris accord, of which we are part, are using “climate change” and “Sustainable Development” goals to usher in a monetary reset which will mean they will not only control the global financial system (they already do), but nearly every aspect of your life. You WILL lose equity in/or your property with the financial reset. Perhaps the NSW Govt’s ditching of stamp duty in lieu of an annual “land tax” is part of this compliance? Property owners may not be able to pay annually and ultimately forced to sell up (especially pensioners or farmers slugged with onerous fees). #e UN/WEF have a video out explaining it saying (paraphrased) “You will own nothing, and be happy”. Take note: @is is the future they have mapped out for YOU. I got interested in the UN and their agreements when I realised what the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child really was. I once had a copy of the original Polish draV, which advocated taking children from their parents. I was fortunate to be mentored by a barrister with many degrees in international and humanist law, who also spoke against the implications of Australia signing up to international agreements because by doing so, it OVER-RIDES our Common Law here in Australia. #e water-shed for this was the Tasmanian Dam case, not for the dam, but for the legal implications it had for Australia. #e High Court effectively ruled that by virtue of (the Commonwealth) signing one of these UN agreements, it would over-ride the State’s rights. Since then, we’ve signed a plethora of these agreements, and totally eroded our Constitution, our freedoms, and our rights. What we, the Aussie people want is of no concern any more. Effectively, UN law now rules our Common law. #is CONCERNS YOU, your loss of property rights and YOUR freedom so do your research, don’t take my word for it. You are not that far away from losing it all via an induced global depression on the heels of Covid19. #ere’s a not-so-secret war being waged against us – and many world leaders, including Prince Charles have echoed World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Chair, Klaus

Schwab’s sentiments in his book “COVID-19: 4e Great Reset” to “make good use of the pandemic” and “not letting the crisis go to waste”. It’s to be ushered in under Covid. I remind you about two High Court Judges on the Tasmanian Dam Case who in 1983 could foresee this as well: Judge Wilson: “...It is no exaggeration to say that what is emerging is a sophisticated network of international arrangements directed to the personal, economic, social and cultural development of all human beings. #e eﬀect of investing the Parliament with power through section 51 (xxix) in all these areas would be transfer to the Commonwealth of virtually unlimited power in almost every conceivable aspect of life in Australia, including health and hospitals, the work place, law and order, education and recreational and cultural activity to mention but a few ….” Justice Gibbs: “...#ere would be no ﬁeld of power which the Commonwealth could not invade, and the federal balance achieved by the Constitution could be entirely destroyed”. Yet Justice Lionel Murphy thought this wouldn’t be enough! He said “...Australia would be an International cripple unable to participate fully in the emerging world order....” (being fully aware that we were committed to World Government because we signed a UN Agreement under UNCTAD (UN Conference on Trade and Devt) – the Declaration for the Establishment of a New International Economic Order adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1974.)

Are we there yet? For anyone new to this, Dr Mercola’s (mercola.com) article “What is the Great Reset”, is a good introduction, quoting multiple sources. It may be conspiracy, but it certainly is no theory. It’s totally out there, and is embedded in many documents. Some quotes from the Mercola.com article: “Winter Oak a British nonproﬁt social justice organization — points out that Schwab and his globalist accomplices are using the COVID-19 pandemic “to bypass democratic accountability, to override opposition, to accelerate their agenda and to impose it on the rest of humankind against our will.” “Ultimately, the Great Reset will result in two tiers of people: #e technocratic elite, who have all the power and rule over all assets, and the rest of humanity, who have no power, no assets and no say-so in anything.” (JB: @ink Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables”, or Biden’s “chubs”). In a nutshell, the Great Reset refers to a global agenda to monitor and control the world through

digital surveillance. As explained by journalist James Corbett in his October 16, 2020, Corbett Report above,1 the Great Reset is a new “social contract” that ties every person to it through an electronic ID linked to your bank account and health records, and a social credit ID that will end up dictating every facet of your life. (JB: think contact tracing, vaccination, lock-down, arrests by thought police, cashless welfare debit card). It’s about getting rid of capitalism and free enterprise, and replacing them with “sustainable development” and “stakeholder capitalism” — terms that belie their nefarious, anti-humanity intents. “A radical movement called the Great Reset embraced by some Democrats poses a grave threat to liberty and free markets in the United States and around the world … #e Great Reset is perhaps the biggest danger to capitalism and individual rights since the collapse of the Soviet Union … “.... to achieve the kind of radical transformation of every part of society has its challenges. NO PERSON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD AGREE TO IT IF AWARE OF THE DETAILS OF THE WHOLE PLAN. So, to roll this out, they had to use psychological manipulation, and fear is the most effective tool there is. As explained by psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin, there’s an entire school of public health research that focuses on identifying the most effective ways to frighten people into accepting desired public health measures. By adding confusion and uncertainty to the mix, you can bring an individual from fear to anxiety — a state of confusion in which you can no longer think logically — and in this state, you are more easily manipulated. (end quotes) Hmmm.... Remember the WEF deciding on the “flooding” tactic to scare us? You’ll all know many people who’ve been frightened by our Government’s scare tactics, not to mention the debt rung up, suicides and economic fallout. So, go and read the Mercola article for yourself. Also, search “Cops for Covid Truth”. Understand that we’re being manipulated by the “elites”, and our governments are party to it. With Covid we’ve seen mask wearing imposed, scaring people and bankrupting businesses over something we now know is no worse than the seasonal flu, arresting anyone who dares question all in the name of “health”; and social media shutting anyone (like Drs) down who say it’s easily curable without their vaccines that alter our DNA. #e globalist UN/banking web is deep and wide and it affects every one of us. Our “new normal” enslavement will be the “Great Reset”. #at is, unless Trump is returned: the only world leader fighting the central bank system, and something for which previous Presidents have been assassinated.

CITYwatch

AMANDA SPALDING with Bob Holland

IS ORANGE FIT FOR THE FUTURE? Bob: Before we get into this week’s topic, I wanted to ask your opinion on something that attracted my attention at the Council meeting this week.

I have been looking for Orange City Council’s Fit for the Future Council Improvement Proposal for ages, and eventually a friend of mine found it for me on the Independent Pricing

Councillors were presented with an extensive list of what I’d call outstanding matters, some of these dated back a couple of years. Often during a Council meeting, a question or matter report or something else. Looking at the list this week, it seems to almost be endless and clearly gave the feeling that many things on it may just sit there forever or are in the too hard basket.

Amanda: It is customary for a regular report like this to go to Council as part of the role of the General Manager to implement, without undue delay, lawful decisions of the council. This is an interesting report as it shows the amount of business Council is getting through. The table is 29 pages long with 15 pages showing completed actions and 14 showing actions in progress. Most of the outstanding actions are from Council meetings in 2020. The oldest one is from March 2019 in which Councillor Nugent raised a Matter Arising – Councillor Nugent requested a report to be brought back to Council on examples of how other Councils protect trees and in particular the use of tree bonds. Information is to be provided.

body.Improvement Proposal submitted by Orange City Council made the case for it to The ‘the outcome

Understandably, given the debacle of the whole process it seems that the NSW Government is not going to pursue councils to report on savings they have made in implementing their Fit Programs. Itfor is the not Future clear toImprovement me that Orange City Council has achieved the savings of $5.3M suggested if it continued to stand alone. It is my experience that councils do not tend to report on The Office Localmade, Government hasmake changed its website recent andtoit by is now savings theyofhave or indeed savings, unlessinthey aretimes, required an difficult tobody. find anything at all on business improvement.

Understandably, given the debacle of the whole process it seems that the NSW Government is not going to pursue councils to report on savings they have made in implementing their Fit for the Future Improvement Programs. Bob: So, can we hold Orange City Council accountable for the $5.3M of savings it intended to make by standing alone? What did Orange City Council say it would do?

the role of Councillors is strategic!! So, of the 14 pages of actions not yet completed we have the following:

expects local communities to hold their local council accountable.

The majority of the actions outstanding are from Council resolutions i.e. normal Council business. 4 of the outstanding actions are from Notices of Motion i.e. issues raised by Councillors and approved by Council for action 6 of the actions are Questions Taken on Notice. 2 of those were from Councillor

6th October 2020 – 6th October 2020 – Bob: OK thanks, now back to this week’s topic which is another interesting one for anyone who really cares about how our Council should operate. We often talk about the high rates and other charges in Orange. Does the Council ever

Amanda: The only ongoing Business Improvement Program I can discover that is being pursued by Orange City Council is mentioned in the Delivery/Operational Plan without any measures or targets:

Many councils do pursue ongoing Business Improvement Programs to ensure the Value For Money of Council services, and the changes to the Local Government Act that took place in 2016 included adding: Guiding principles for councils – which include: residents and ratepayers. .

It is interesting that the financial statements for 2019/20 have not yet been presented to Council as the draft financial statements were presented to Council on 15th September 2020 2020 for approval be audited. for approval to be to audited. wasreported: reported: ‘The completed and audited Financial Statements are normally required to ItItwas

be lodged with the Office of Local Government no later than 31 October, but due to COVID-19, this has been extended to 30 November 2020. However, it is the intention of both Council and the Auditor to still target a lodgement date of 31 October 2020. The Auditor will be invited to make a presentation to Council upon completion of the audit process.’

As the audited accounts have not yet been presented to Council and the next meeting is due on 1st December 2020 it appears that the Council has failed to meet the deadline

It seems that the most recent comprehensive improvement initiative for councils pursued by the NSW Government is the Fit For the Future program that took place in 2015 and was part of the proposals for amalgamations of several councils many of which did not take place including the amalgamation proposed for Orange Cabonne and Blayney Councils.

were approved for audit on 15th September does this mean there have been problems in the audit? If you would like to discuss any of the matters that Bob and I raise in our conversations, please feel free to contact me at aespalding2@bigpond.com

NSWbudget 2020/2021

GOVERNMENT SPENDS BIG TO GET OUT OF OUR COVID-HOLE It was never going to be a pretty picture, and the NSW 2020/2021 State Budget didn’t disappoint with a $16 billion deficit the headline figure, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has confirmed. He said though that the Government was seeking to rescue the economy from the coronavirus recession with an estimated return to surplus by 2024 Mr Perrottet announced the massive loss while delivering his fourth budget which he described as “completely appropriate for our time.” Be deficit blow-out is the result of cash being splashed on stimulus measures on the back of a forecast $25 billion drop in revenue over five years. Be budget flags one major startling reform aimed at giving home-buyers given the choice to opt-out of paying

stamp duty and instead pay an annual property tax.

splashed on new homes or upgrades. Be Government says it will create 1300 new social houses across the State, just under half of which will be built in regional areas.

Be Government will start public consultation on the move, which would reduce the upfront cost of a home, and would not aﬀect current owners not buying or selling.

Good news for some businesses in the budget includes payroll tax rate being cut from 5.45 per cent to 4.86 per cent with the tax threshold being increased from $1 million to $1.2 million.

Once a home was subject to property tax, subsequent owners would also have to continue paying it. Be reform would see existing stamp duty concessions for first home buyers replaced with a grant of up to $25,000. “Tax reform is challenging, it’s tough,” Mr Perrottet said. “Stamp duty impedes young people from getting into their first home. “I guess sometimes there’s no good time for reform, but that’s why we need to take it on,” he said. Be budget papers confirm the Government will sell its 49 per cent share in the roads system, WestConnex, and plans to investigate whether it should

cafes, and clubs and the other two can be used for entertainment activities, such as cultural institutions, performing arts, cinemas, and amusement parks.

Be NSW Government is gi^ing every adult an e-voucher to encourage our hospitality sector, one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Be vouchers cannot be used on retail, alcohol, gambling, or cigarettes and can be used only at COVID-safe businesses that sign on to the scheme.

Be voucher will be for everyone over the age of 18 with four $25 vouchers under the NSW Budget’s Out and About scheme. The vouchers though can’t be used on retail, alcohol, gambling, or cigarettes and will be trialled in December before a full roll-out next year

“We want to encourage people to open up their wallets and contribute to the stimulus eﬀect,” Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said.

Be Out and About voucher scheme will cost the Government $500 million and aims to keep the economy ﬂowing a^er Christmas. Anyone over the age of 18 will receive four $25 vouchers through the Service NSW mobile app. Two can be used on food at restaurants,

“Be dining and entertainment industries were among the hardest hit by the pandemic and I would encourage people to utilise this scheme once it is up and running and to make sure they spend a bit extra on the way through, too.” Be four vouchers also cannot be combined, and each voucher can be used only once, which means if the spend is less than $25 the remaining amount will expire.

Be NSW Government will run a trial of the program in the Sydney CBD over December, before a full rollout in early 2021. Be Government will also look at limiting the use of the dining vouchers to less busy days such as Monday to Bursday to better manage COVID-19 restrictions.

JOBS Minister for CREATING Customer Service, Victorand OUR FUTURE SECURING Dominello said the CBD trial would help iron out any issues. “We must be COVID smart as well as COVID safe and the success of this program will depend upon people continuing to follow the rules,” Mr Dominello said.

NSWbudget 2020/2021

NEARLY $56 MILLION FOR DEMENTIA CARE Dementia advocacy groups have welcomed the NSW Government’s budget announcement to increase support for palliative care services and invest in aged care training. Je funding of $55.9 million for palliative care services over four years includes an additional 5000 End of Life support packages and access to specialist allied health professionals to provide better quality care and support.

FARMER LAND TAX, PAY SERVICE FREEZE TO HIT ORANGE, DONATO Regional areas will be hardest hit by the State Government’s 1.5 per cent cap on public service wages in the State budget and a proposed new land tax for primary producers, Local Member Phil Donato believes. He also accused the Coalition Government of attempting to “slipthrough” the land tax proposal that will hit farmers just as they come-out the worst bushfire and drought seasons on record. “Je real concern that has emerged from the budget papers is the Liberal National Government’s sneaky plan to slug farmers with a land tax on their farms,” Mr Donato said. “It was hidden in the budget papers, but not in the discussion papers we received beforehand,” he explained. He said that in trying to juggle its land tax regime to encourage new home building, farmers who produce our ﬁbre and food, are being hit with a new tax on their properties. “It’s a land tax on what they call the ‘unimproved value’ of their land of .3 per cent, which doesn’t sound much, but if you have a one million dollar property, that’s $30,000, which is a lot if you’re struggling,” he said. “It looked like being a good season, but now this.” “We believe that this is harsh and unfair and could push some struggling farmers over the edge,” he said. He said that farmers already pay a number of imposts that are not levied

on other sections of the economy, something that the National Party Members should have recognised. “Jey should have identified this issue, they already pay for Local Lands Services and a range of other taxes and regulations that they have to deal with,” he said. Je virtual pay-freeze on public servants would also impact regional areas like Orange inordinately, he argued. “In a town like Orange, there’s a large contingent of local in the Public Service, in nursing, teaching, the DPI, and that money would have been spent directly in the local community,” he said. “it would have circulated in country areas which is a good way of stimulating the local economy,” he said. Mr Donato said that the budget made grim reading and “reflected the situation that we’re in, post-COVID.” “It’s more of a response aimed at stimulating the economy, but there wasn’t much substance,” he said. Added to the environment bill currently before the Parliament looking to shut down our coal-fired cheap power with the promotion of alternative power sources, the budget doesn’t do a lot for country NSW, he said. “Jey said there’s no interest in the market to build new coal-fired power plants and they want to move to solar,

wind and hydro.” He said. “But they’re still gonna’ need coalfired base-load power for the times that these other sources aren’t running,” he said. He added that the proposed $100 spend voucher for all citizens was a bit of gesture politics. “I’m not sure the ($100) voucher is going to benefit anyone really,” he said. “Je community expected that our Government would have to tighten its belt a\er they necessarily employed deficit-inducing stimulus and health protection measures in response to COVID-19,” said Mr Donato. “Je community are generally sympathetic to the state of the economy, knowing full well that the pandemic was an unprecedented world-wide economic wrecking ball. “Je NSW Government could never have made a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but still they tried. Je budget was full of recycled funding which has either been a re-announcement of previous budgets, or funding of projects which have long been delivered. “Overall, the Orange electorate is performing economically well, in spite of COVID. Je absence of any real budget benefits will be buffered by an economic resilient electorate which is buoyed with the breaking of drought and a boom in domestic tourism,” Mr Donato concluded

Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe said this investment in funding is welcome, and a focus on dementia-specific services is also essential to ensure appropriate supports for people living with dementia. “Dementia is a terminal illness and appropriate palliative care is an essential element of quality care and end of life care for people with dementia, as well as for their families and carers,” Ms McCabe said. “Improving palliative care for people with dementia, no matter where they live, must be a policy priority, Australia-wide, across the states and territories.” Dementia Australia also acknowledges the investment in aged care training, including up to 20,000 training places to skill people working in aged care and $17 million to boost jobs in the disability support sector. “We encourage a focus on dementia-specific training in this package. With over two thirds of all people living in residential aged care experiencing moderate to severe cognitive impairment, it is essential that a minimum level of dementia-specific training becomes a prerequisite to work in aged care across all parts of the system,” Ms McCabe said. “We know from our work and broad consultation with people living with dementia, their families and carers, that if we get quality care right for dementia then there will be quality care for all. “Staff education and training are paramount to improving the deficiencies in the current system, eliminating the misuse of physical and chemical restraint, and treating people with the respect, dignity and care they deserve.” In 2020, there are an estimated 153,000 people living with dementia in NSW. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people living with dementia is expected to increase to an estimated 345,000 people by 2058. “Dementia impacts many people in NSW and further action is needed to support them,” Ms McCabe said. “We look forward to continuing our work with the NSW Government to ensure people living with dementia, their families and carers receive the best, quality dementia care,” Ms McCabe concluded.

WORKLOAD JUMP LIFTING OUR VOLUNTEER BURDEN Workload of local sporting volunteers has increased up to 100 per cent with a new program to try and get our most under-appreciated assistants back into Aussie sport.

range of strategies to overcome the barriers for getting people back out into their communities and sporting clubs.” <e latest Sport Australia data indicates that 57 per cent of sports volunteers had not returned to any sports volunteering activity by August, while roughly a third of adults and children who expected to play at least one sport between April and December were back playing the same number of sports and a small number ( of both groups) were playing more sports.

Sport Australia and Volunteering Australia recently joined forces to help tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing the sports industry during the pandemic — the future of its volunteers.

Mr Dalton said the challenge was not only bringing volunteers back to sport but providing a plan to support them in a complex environment.

<e two peak industry bodies have entered a formal partnership to further develop their co-operation in the ﬁeld and explore new ways to promote and positively impact volunteering in the Australian community. Volunteers play a critical role within the Australian sporting landscape with over three million Aussies contributing across all levels of sport. With approximately 72 per cent of sport and recreation roles held by volunteers, the sector depends on them to coach our players, manage our community clubs, and provide positive sporting experiences for participants at all stages of life. Orange District Basketball Association Referees Coordinator, Carl Smith estimates that the workload of OBA volunteers has gone-up 100 per cent post-COVID. “We’ve had to double the number of volunteers, at games we used to have one court supervisor, now we have two,” he explained. “We also have to have people on the doors to ensure that we monitor people coming and going, it has meant an increased need for volunteers,” he said. <e pandemic also gave an urgency to the work of volunteers who had far more to worry about than just fair play and games starting on time.

“<ere has been a singular focus on encouraging participants back to sport, but without volunteers there is no return to play and our data is showing that volunteers are returning to sport at a proportionately slower rate than participants.

scoring, monitoring parent numbers at games, checking players and spectators, sanitising balls and courts, scanning temperatures at the door and checking for COVID-symptoms: ‘We did lose a few older volunteers but we’ve been really lucky,” Carl said.

“We are looking to deepen our understanding of the challenges for sports in the recruitment and retention of volunteers and work collaboratively across the sector to identify opportunities to support them,” he said.

Other sports haven’t been so fortunate though, with publication of data earlier in the year showing a 65 per cent decline nationwide in the volunteer workforce as a result of the pandemic. “<e COVID-19 pandemic has signiﬁcantly impacted sport in Australia and the role of the volunteer is now more important than ever. We need our volunteers to help rebuild our sporting communities and contribute to our social and economic recovery,” Sport Australia Acting CEO, Rob Dalton said.

“When COVID was at its peak, we had to make sure that we complied absolutely 100 per cent with all the regulations or risk having the sport shut-down totally,” Carl explained.

“Recent Sport Australia data shows that up until August 2020, over two million volunteers in sport had not resumed their usual volunteering levels, which illustrates the gravity of the challenge the industry is facing and the need for a coordinated approach between our organisations and our partners in the sports sector to address it.

<e Association gets by with about 30–40 regular volunteers with tasks ranging from coaching, refereeing,

“Our partnership with Volunteering Australia will enable us to work together and alongside the sector to develop a

Sport Australia and Volunteering Australia have identiﬁed three key focus areas to explore under their new partnership – attracting more volunteers to sport; reducing barriers to volunteer recruitment; and increasing volunteer retention and quality of experience. “Participation in sport has the capacity to improve lives, strengthen communities, and hurdle language and cultural barriers like few other endeavors,” Volunteering Australia CEO, Mark Pearce said. “Whilst we celebrate our sporting achievements, these wouldn’t be possible without the committed eﬀorts of over three million volunteers who support participation at every level,” he added. As for Orange District Basketball Association, Carl says that although they are traveling well at the moment, the more the merrier. “Absolutely, we’re always looking for more volunteers,” he said, adding that the Associations AGM in midDecember is the perfect time to put your name forward.

HIIT your straps to get fit, high-impact out of COVID Slow and steady may win you the race, but it won’t give your body the aerobic workout it needs post-COVID-19, fitness experts believe. These intense training regimes are also becoming increasingly-popular locally, instructors say. Short bursts of intense exercise — known as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) — is the way to get back into shape by summer and stay that way, an expert exercise physiology researcher says. Getting fit by exercising intensely for a few minutes a day, several times a week, might sound too good to be true if COVID-19 lockdown has leK you with an expanded waistline. And with the coming and going of exercise trends with catchy names and celebrity endorsements, it would be easy to dismiss high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as just another fad. But it’s far from it and could be your answer to getting back into shape in time for summer, Dr Andrew Keech says. Qe UNSW Medicine exercise physiology researcher, who has been studying the science of exercise for 20 years, said most sports followed an unstructured form of HIIT – for example, rugby league, basketball, and tennis. “Efforts are generally short and vigorous and then the athlete rests for a short period before another hard effort,” Dr Keech said. Local fitness instructor Jesse Keegan from Fitness Perfection agrees, saying that high intensity training is becoming increasingly-popular in Orange. “Definitely, high-intensity training keeps your heart rate up and helps cardiovascular health as well. An added benefit is that it doesn’t take long,” explained. He said that high-intensity training sessions oKen involve only 30–40-minute sessions with alternating 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, or 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. “You’re doing a mixture of exercises, you might do 10 seconds of squat

jumps and 20 seconds of push-ups, we also have an ‘air bike in there,” he added. “In simple terms, it burns your fat quicker.” Dr Keach agrees, saying that the evidence for its success is overwhelming. “So, HIIT is a fancy way of saying, ‘work hard for a while, recover and then do it all again’. Qis is what athletes have been doing for many years. Dr Keech even uses HIIT himself as an achievable and efficient way to stay in shape while juggling other commitments. “With two young children and an academic carrier to build, before the pandemic I had no time for long, slow jogs. For me, pounding the pavement is not overly enjoyable,” he said. “Instead, I use a large hill near our home which is an easy workout: I run uphill at about 90 per cent maximum speed for about 20 seconds and then walk back down. I do this five times and that’s it – the benefits show just from that. “So, there is no need to ‘smash yourself ’ with a huge workout that wipes you out for the rest of the day – like many personal training or bootcamp style workouts are nowadays – to gain meaningful benefits for your cardiovascular health.” Dr Keech said the benefits of HIIT had become clearer in recent years with accumulating research showing it was effective for improving aerobic fitness and cardiovascular-related health indicators, such as blood pressure, body fat levels and glucose control. “In my main area of expertise – cardiac benefits – it was a seminal study in 2007 by Ulrik Wisloff, a leading Norwegian exercise scientist,

Local fitness instructor, Jesse Keegan from Fitness Perfection. High intensity training is becoming increasingly-popular in Orange. that applied HIIT successfully to cardiac rehab patients with an average age of 75 years that started the ball rolling in HIIT research,” he said. “Qe evidence is clear that HIIT is superior to traditional moderateintensity continuous training (MICT) – for example, the long slow jog – for improving aerobic fitness. Having a high level of aerobic fitness is important for your health. “Aerobic fitness is an index of how well a range of bodily systems are functioning and it’s a strong, independent predictor of mortality risk, especially for cardiovascular disease which causes things like heart attacks.” Dr Keech said HIIT also appears to offer long-term benefits for those who remained committed for months. “We can infer from sustained longer-term improvement in aerobic fitness that HIIT likely induces more heart muscle and a larger chamber size, meaning more blood can be pumped out per beat. Qis is called leK ventricular hypertrophy and is a longer-lasting change,” he said. “For many people, this is the most important change to strive for – a stronger, healthier heart is a big end goal. “HIIT also offers other cardiovascular benefits. Multiple meta-analyses studies have shown HIIT is more effective than MICT for improving glucose control and insulin sensitivity, so it is especially good for lowering diabetic risk.”

Even if you rarely exercise, it’s never too late to start doing HIIT, Dr Keech said. “When you get fitter, you lower your risk of early mortality and this is especially important for those who have not exercised much in their life – you can get great benefit from starting regular exercise,” he said. “HIIT is not a passing fad – it is a genuine intervention with a range of advantages over MICT, including time-efficiency, enjoyment and the challenge of mastering a concentrated form of exercise,” he said. “If you design a HIIT program thoughtfully – for example, with shorter bursts or longer rest periods and build up gradually – you can limit the sense of discomfort or fatigue that many people find unappealing about exercise. “Remember, the human body likes to work hard and while results from exercise vary across individuals, HIIT can encourage positive changes that improve health and ultimately, lower the risk of an early death.” With exercise a routine, Jesse says Fitness Perfection is slowly getting back to its pre-coronavirus membership levels though it has taken time. “it’s not where we were 12 months ago, but we’ve got our COVID-safe plan still in place regarding temperature checks, wiping down and cleaning all equipment, we’re very strict on that,” Jesse concluded.

MS BIRD SHOULD KEEP HER TRUMP OPINIONS TO HERSELF

TIME FOR OUR SUMMER ST JAYWALKERS TO FACE FINES

issuing infringements for this illegal behaviour. It does not matter what the traﬃc lightcontrolled intersection in Orange is, jay-walking is common. It is illegal, yet no-one seems to raise this issue. It is always pointed at the motorist; why are we so greatly discriminated against?

A1er reading the story in Saturday’s issue of Newswatch of November 14, it was somewhat false on how the Council are blaming the speed at which cars travel up and down Summer Street.

Be blame for these accidents is honestly 50/50. So, come on NSW Police, start to abide by the traﬃc code and get oﬀ your butts and start issuing tickets for jay-walking and working with motorists instead of turning a blind-eye.

Be ﬁnger was pointed at motorists and not one mention of the illegal jay-walking pedestrians. Bey continue to cross the road at the pedestrian lights opposite the Post Oﬃce when the cars have green and they have red “Don’t Walk”. Both young and old, parents with children, either walking beside them or being pushed in prams.

In reply to the article by Jeanine Bird last Saturday — which I feel was a lot of unsubstantiated nonsense — I would like to say that, the only time the American voters “got it wrong”, as she says, was at the 2016 election when they voted in a narcissistic dictator. I notice amongst Trump’s accomplishments, there was no mention of his inability to deal with a world-wide pandemic that has killed nearly 240,00 people and that he is personallyresponsible for 700 of those deaths from people catching COVID at rallies that he needed to have to serve his own ego.

I am deeply-disappointed in your newspaper for printing such an article, I thought it was going to be a local paper covering local issues, I know we all have our own opinions, but I think, in future, Ms Bird should keep hers to herself. Anne Smith

Not once have I seen a police person here in Orange issue tickets for this, even when they are standing at the lights watching this occur. Rodney M Millar

OPEN HOUSES TIME

Trump seems to have convinced a few people like Ms Bird, who have fallen under his spell, that he is some sort of saviour, but the majority of the world is rejoicing at his downfall. He has created nothing but mayhem and certainly is no patriot, he only rules to serve himself and the only legacy he will leave is that of hatred and bigotry.
