Council GM review overhaul refused Tim Howard

Clarence Valley Council has voted down a push to overhaul the way it reviews the performance of its general manager, following a long, often tense debate that exposed deep divisions over governance, transparency and longstanding practices inside the council chamber. The motion, moved by Cr Lynne Cairns and supported by Cr Greg Clancy, was defeated at the council’s final meeting of 2025, with only those two councillors voting in favour. An attempted amendment to defer changes until after the next review also failed. The debate — stretching across questions, points of order and competing interpretations of contracts and state guidelines — crystallised arguments that have been simmering for years and which The Northern Rivers Times has previously reported on: concerns about process, councillor oversight, and the balance of power between elected representatives and senior staff. At the centre of the dispute was Cr Cairns’ notice of motion seeking to change three key elements of the general manager’s annual performance review: appointing a new external facilitator, involving the full council in developing the performance agreement, and ensuring key performance indicators (KPIs) are updated annually in line with NSW Government guidelines. During the meeting it was revealed there had been a long standing failure of the council to follow review panel guidelines laid out by the Office of Local Government. Cr Cairns argued that the existing system — where the mayor consults directly with the general manager and an external facilitator — falls short of both the general manager’s contract and state guidelines, which say performance agreements should be

reviewed annually and presented to the governing body. “This should have been done ages back,” Cr Cairns told the meeting. “We haven’t even seen the performance agreement that the mayor and general manager have agreed upon, and under the contract and the guidelines, we should.” Cr Clancy, who has repeatedly raised concerns about the process since his election in 2016, said the issue was not about the individual occupying the role but about governance. “This is not above board and by the book,” he said. “Regardless of who the general manager is, we have to have a system that is fair and works so that we can properly assess performance.” Cr Clancy pointed to last year’s review panel report, which he described as “half a page, very vague”, and said panel members had not seen it before it appeared in the business paper — an issue he says he raised privately at the time. Opponents of the motion did not dispute that the review process could be improved in future, but argued the proposal was ill-timed and potentially unfair.

An attempt by Cr Cristie Yager to salvage part of the motion — by deferring all proposed changes until after the upcoming review — failed narrowly. Cr Yager said she supported the principle of refreshing the facilitator and improving the process, but agreed it was unfair to impose changes so late. “I feel like it’s going to be this or nothing,” she said, urging councillors to compromise.

Alison Bryant abstained.

While the motion failed decisively, the debate echoed many of the themes that have dominated Clarence Valley Council over the past year: disputes over adherence to policy, frustration from some councillors about being excluded from key decisions, and sharp disagreements over what constitutes transparency and good governance. As The Northern Rivers Times has previously reported, these tensions have surfaced in extraordinary meetings, Code of Conduct disputes and arguments over the legality and propriety of council processes. Thursday’s decision leaves the current performance review framework intact — at least for now. But the depth and intensity of the debate suggests the issue is unlikely to disappear, with several councillors signalling that the structure of the general manager’s

review will return to the chamber in the new year. After the meeting, at which a review panel member Cr Bryant resigned from council, there was speculation about how the panel would be constituted. It was due to meet to review the GMs performance the day after the meeting, but Cr Bryant’s resignation and uncertainty over the council’s decision delayed it. Mayor Smith said the GM had agreed to the panel sitting one member short, but also agreed to the possibility of including Cr Yager, if there was support for that from councillors. But Cr Cairns said the options had narrowed since that statement to the panel holding the review one member short. The panel now consists of Mayor Smith, deputy mayor Cr Clancy and the GM’s nominee, Cr Novak.

Concerns mount over future of century-old Sportsman’s Creek Weir Tim Howard

Plans released by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) have raised alarm among Lawrence residents and farmers, who fear the possible removal of the nearly 100-year-old Sportsman’s Creek Weir could threaten farmland, local infrastructure and a significant piece of the village’s history. The weir, constructed in 1927, is a central element in managing water levels across the Everlasting Swamp, one of the largest remaining coastal floodplain wetlands in NSW. It also plays a key role in protecting surrounding agricultural land and the village of Lawrence from inundation. NPWS outlined possible future works in a document released in December, The Everlasting Swamp Blue Carbon Demonstration Project, which canvasses options including changes to, or removal of, existing drainage infrastructure as part of a long-term wetland restoration strategy. While NPWS argues that restoring more natural water flows could improve environmental outcomes, some landholders say the proposals underestimate the risks to farms, roads, ferry access and the broader community. Local residents point out that the weir remains structurally sound despite its age. One community member who recently inspected

the structure with a civil engineer said the weir was in “good condition for a 100-year-old structure” and remained solid and fit for purpose. The historical significance of the weir has also come into focus. Former Lawrence Primary School principal and local historian Mike Gillespie has highlighted the structure’s origins while researching his book Lawrence: The History of a Clarence River Settlement. In 1988, Mr Gillespie interviewed Ron Oxenford, then in his 90s, whose father Gus Oxenford, along with his brother, built the weir in 1926. The Oxenford brothers were prominent contractors on the Clarence, having earlier constructed the second Sportsman’s Creek bridge in 1911. According to Oxenford’s account, the weir was built using on-site mixed concrete, river gravel and a “flying fox” pulley system to transport concrete across the creek in a large timber box. The structure that remains today is essentially the same wall poured nearly a century ago. Mr Gillespie said he was “alarmed” at the prospect of the weir being destroyed, both because of the potential loss of productive farmland and the disappearance of one of the last remaining historic river structures in Lawrence. “There’s little, if any, of the river infrastructure left from Lawrence’s early days,” he said. “This is the last standing

The Sportsmans Creek Weir, built almost 100 years ago could be removed if plans released by the National Parks and Wildlife Service are approved. Residents and farmers alarmed at the prospect have scheduled a meeting in the Lawrence Public Hall later this month.

structure and it deserves to be preserved.” Community anxiety has also been amplified by recent public meetings. Resident Collette White, who lives on the swamp, said she was deeply concerned about how increased water levels would affect access roads and the Lawrence ferry during major rain events. “When the swamp is already full and we get heavy rain while the river is high, our ferry goes off,” she said. “I didn’t see that reflected

in the study, and I can’t see how Mantons Road would stay passable.” Ms White also expressed concern that farmers feel pressured and unsupported. “It’s their land and they know it better than anyone,” she said. “I hope they don’t feel forced to give up and sell to National Parks because the community wasn’t there to back them.” Local farmer and member of the Sportsmans Creek Weir Drainage Union Mark Elliott was more blunt, accusing NPWS of pursuing a predetermined

outcome tied to carbon credit generation. “The plan is to flood the swamp and sell carbon credits, with all money going to the NSW Government,” Mr Elliott said in a social media post following a recent meeting. He claimed removal of the weir, levee banks and floodgates was the preferred methodology, and argued that modelling was being used to justify a desired outcome rather than respond to on-ground realities. NPWS, however, points to extensive hydrodynamic modelling undertaken by researchers from UNSW, which examined how different watermanagement scenarios would affect the Everlasting Swamp and neighbouring properties. The modelling study acknowledges the importance of flood mitigation works to agriculture, while also noting that drainage infrastructure has contributed to ecological decline and acid sulphate soil runoff into the Clarence estuary. Researchers tested a range of scenarios using field data collected over nine months, including water levels, water quality, drone imagery and soil assessments. The model was calibrated against observed conditions and showed predicted water levels matched recorded data within 0.1 metres. According to the executive summary, the modelling indicates that a staged restoration approach could improve

environmental outcomes without significantly impacting most adjoining landholders, provided changes are carefully managed and undertaken with stakeholder agreement. The study also identifies the Sportsman’s Creek Weir as the dominant structure controlling hydrology across the swamp, noting that while the community values the weir, its age means its long-term status must be a priority consideration. Concerns over maintenance are not new. In 2014, landholders told The Daily Examiner they feared Lawrence could be “wiped out” if the weir failed, and complained that NPWS, despite owning most of the surrounding wetland, was not contributing to insurance or upkeep costs. As debate over the swamp’s future intensifies, residents are calling for genuine consultation, recognition of local knowledge and serious consideration of both heritage and agricultural impacts before any irreversible decisions are made. A community information session to discuss the Everlasting Swamp proposals, including the future of the Sportsman’s Creek Weir, has been scheduled for January 21 in the Lawrence Public Hall. The meeting, from 4pm to 7pm follows a session on December 13, 2025. Its inside the public exhibition period for the restoration options, which runs until January 31.

Road upgrades to begin at Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre Jeff Gibbs

Essential road upgrade works will soon get underway at the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre, with Lismore City Council confirming construction will begin in early February. The initial stage of the project will involve full pavement rehabilitation of the main internal road between the facility’s front gate and weighbridge. Works will include kerb reinstatement and drainage improvements, addressing damage caused by the 2022 natural disasters and ongoing heavy vehicle use since that time. Council says the upgrades are necessary to improve safety, durability and traffic flow at one of the region’s most heavily used waste facilities. To allow the works

to be completed safely and efficiently, traffic management will be in place from early February through to late March, subject to weather conditions and contractor availability. During the construction period, operating hours at the waste facility will

be reduced, with both the Recycling & Recovery Centre and the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens closing at 1pm each day. Residents, contractors and local businesses are being encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and factor the earlier

closure into their schedules while the works are underway. Once the initial road rehabilitation is complete, further construction and remediation will commence deeper within the site. This next phase will focus on upgrading internal roads

and hardstands as part of the delivery of the new Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre Masterplan. Lismore Mayor Steve Krieg said the project marked the beginning of a broader transformation of the facility. “This is the start of a

bigger vision: a safer, more efficient Recycling & Recovery Centre that supports our community and the circular economy,” Mayor Krieg said. The works are jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and will be delivered by Ireland Civil Contracting. Council acknowledged the disruption the works may cause but thanked the community for its patience and understanding as the upgrades are delivered. Further updates on construction progress and any changes to access arrangements will be shared through Council’s website and social media channels. More information about the project is available on the Lismore City Council website.

Plans released for flood-resilient housing development in East Lismore Jeff Gibbs

Plans for the first stage of a major new housing development in East Lismore have been officially released, marking an important step in the region’s long-term recovery and flood-resilient rebuilding following the devastating 2022 floods. The Minns Labor Government has opened community consultation on Stage 1 of the proposed development, which will ultimately deliver up to 400 new homes designed to provide safer and more affordable housing for flood-impacted residents, while allowing families to remain connected to the Lismore community. The project is being delivered through a partnership between Landcom and the NSW Reconstruction Authority. Stage 1 is expected to deliver around 100 homes, including smaller, more affordable dwellings such as terraces and low-rise

apartments. Long-term vision for East Lismore Early master planning is now underway for the full 72-hectare site, with the long-term goal of creating a sustainable and resilient community of at least 400 dwellings. The development has been shaped by lessons learned from repeated flooding events and is designed to meet the future housing needs of residents displaced by floods. Landcom will invest at least $75 million into developing the site, while the NSW Reconstruction Authority will contribute $15 million toward land acquisition and enabling infrastructure. Funding will support essential works including new roads, electricity, water and sewerage connections to ensure the development is fully serviced and futureready. At least 20 per cent of homes will be set aside as affordable housing for very low- to moderate-income households, offering

critical support to residents who continue to face housing pressure across the Northern Rivers. Priority for flood-impacted residents Residents who have participated in the Resilient Homes Program and accepted a buyback offer will receive priority access to homes within the development. Eligible participants will be given at least 30 business days to purchase land or housing before any remaining homes are released to the open market. The East Lismore project forms part of the broader Resilient Lands Program, which aims to guide new housing development away from high-risk flood zones while maintaining community connections. Following the 2022 floods, the Australian and NSW Governments jointly committed $880 million to the Resilient Homes Program. The NSW Government also allocated an additional $100 million to the Resilient Lands Program, with both

initiatives delivered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority. The East Lismore site is one of three priority locations identified under the Resilient Lands Program to accelerate land and housing supply for flood-affected communities across the Northern Rivers. Momentum already building Construction activity is already underway nearby. In November 2025, Landcom commenced construction of 50 buildto-rent apartments at the

corner of Crawford Road and Military Road, west of the Stage 1 development area. These apartments are intended to provide additional housing options while the broader master plan progresses. Community consultation now open Community consultation on Stage 1 is now open, with residents invited to review the plans and provide feedback until 9am on Monday, 16 February 2026. A development application is expected to be lodged with Lismore City Council by mid-2026.

Subject to approvals, land and home sales are expected to begin later in 2026, followed by major construction works. Minister for Recovery and the North Coast Janelle Saffin said the release of the plans was another positive step for Lismore’s recovery, while NSW Reconstruction Authority Executive Director Graham Kennett and Landcom executive Andrew Cooper said the project would deliver much-needed, floodresilient housing for the community.

Council looks to support 75th anniversary of historic flight Tim Howard Clarence Valley Council has unanimously supported a mayoral minute from Mayor Ray Smith to explore staging a commemorative event in 2026 marking the 75th anniversary of a remarkable chapter in Australian aviation history — the first trans-Pacific flight from Australia to Chile in 1951. At the council’s December meeting, Mayor Smith moved the minute under item five, seeking inprinciple support to begin planning for a potential celebration and historical recognition of the flight that began, in earnest, from Grafton. “This is a significant occasion worth acknowledging,” Smith told councillors, emphasising the importance of preserving and celebrating local and national history. He clarified that the motion was not asking for funding at this point, but rather for direction so a scope and cost report could be presented at the council’s February 2026 meeting. Smith noted that the 75th anniversary falls in March next year, and while a March-dated event might be challenging to organise immediately, the planning and consultation needed to start early. Cr Peter Johnstone asked why the Mayoral Minute had come to council so late in the year. Smith acknowledged it had only recently been drawn to his attention, despite the significance of the anniversary. Cr Debrah Novak welcomed the proposal, noting Grafton’s longstanding connections to aviation history, including local aviation pioneers and innovators, and asked whether a focus group might be established to help shape the event. With no opposition, the motion to explore possibilities was carried unanimously. The flight made aviation history and pioneered a trans-Pacific route still in use today. In March 1951, aircraft enthusiasts in Grafton witnessed history when

Minister for Air Thomas White farewelling the crew at Sydney's Rose Bay flying boat base, NSW. The crew members, dressed in uniforms specially designed by Taylor for the flight are, L-R: Capt P G 'Bill' Taylor, Capt Harry Purvis, flight officers A Allison (radio operator), Jack Percival (executive officer) and E L'Huillier (Flight Engineer).

The fully restored Frigate Bird II, aka A24-385 during its service with the RAAF in World War 2, wowed visitors to the Powerhouse Museum for more than three decades.

a Consolidated PB2B2 Catalina flying boat, named Frigate Bird II and registered VH-ASA, arrived in Grafton on March 13 and departed the following day to begin a daring island-hopping flight across the South Pacific towards Chile. Although the official take-off from Australian shores was at Sydney’s Rose Bay flying boat base earlier the same day, the stop on the Clarence River served as the final shakedown before the Catalina headed eastward. The Catalina had been selected by its pilot, Captain Patrick Gordon “Bill” Taylor, a veteran aviator whose pioneering career spanned important air routes across the globe. He flew with legendary aviator Charles KingsfordSmith during the 1930s and on the outbreak of war joined the RAAF. After serving with the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II, Taylor chose this particular ex-RAAF aircraft — formerly A24-385 — for the 1951 mission because it was in the best condition of those available. He repainted and renamed the aircraft Frigate Bird II, adding the civil registration VH-ASA — signifying Australia-South America — to reflect its ambitious mission.

Taylor and his small crew — First Officer G H “Harry” Purvis, Engineer E D “Blue” L’Huillier, Radio Officer Angus Allison, and Sydney Morning Herald journalist Jack Percival — set off on a two-week survey flight to chart an air route across thousands of miles of open ocean. Their route took them via Noumea (New Caledonia), Fiji, Samoa, Aitutaki (Cook Islands), Tahiti and Mangareva (French Oceania), and finally the hazardous refuelling stop at Easter Island before landing in Valparaiso, Chile. The Easter Island stop was a perilous moment in the journey — the men faced a storm and breaking waves that snapped all three anchor ropes, forcing Taylor to use JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) rockets, fitted by the RAAF, to get the overloaded flying boat airborne in rough seas. The achievement was historic: the flight covered more than 8,400 miles (about 13,600 km) and was celebrated internationally as opening the last great aviation link between Australia and South America. After returning to Australia in April via a similar route — touchdown in Brisbane before back to Sydney — the Frigate

Sunderland flying boats on the Clarence River at Grafton. They were used for a regular service between Grafton and Sydney from 1948 until 1957. Like the Catalina flying boat, the Sunderlands were wartime flying birds who took a turn in civilian life after the war.

Bird II was presented to Captain Taylor by the Commonwealth Government in recognition of his feat. After retiring from service and languishing for years at the former flying boat base at Rathmines on Lake Macquarie, the Frigate Bird II was eventually gifted by Taylor to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney in 1961. The aircraft was restored and for decades became a centrepiece of the museum’s transport

collection, suspended 10m above the gallery floor to awe visitors with its size and story. In recent years, the aircraft has featured in special exhibitions — notably being brought down from its suspended position so the public could view it more closely, including original objects, photographs and oral histories connected with the flight. Council’s next step will involve community consultation and planning to define the nature of the

commemorative event in 2026, including possible grants, sponsorships and the extent of council involvement. If significant costs are identified, council will revisit budget considerations in the February meeting. Local historians and aviation enthusiasts are expected to contribute to ensuring that this milestone — both for Grafton and Australian aviation — is remembered and celebrated fittingly.

Northern Rivers among busiest as Marine Rescue NSW volunteers complete more than 4,500 rescues in demanding year Jeff Gibbs

Centre on 493. Greater Sydney was the busiest region overall with 1,737 missions, while the Monaro region recorded its busiest year on record.

Volunteer crews from Marine Rescue NSW were kept on constant alert throughout 2025, completing more than 4,500 search and rescue missions across the state during one of the organisation’s most demanding years on record. While Lake Macquarie emerged as the busiest single waterway in New South Wales, the Northern Rivers again proved to be a high-demand region, with local volunteers responding to hundreds of incidents across coastal bars, rivers and offshore waters. Statewide, Marine Rescue NSW volunteers carried out 4,512 search and rescue missions, including 1,326 emergency responses, safely returning 9,886 people to shore. Almost a third of the organisation’s 46 units experienced record demand during the year.

Marine Rescue NSW radio operators played a critical role, monitoring nearly 270,000 people aboard more than 71,000 logged-on vessels and handling more than 226,000 radio calls, including 105 MAYDAY distress calls.

bar-crossing conditions, strong tidal flows and rapidly changing weather. Preventable incidents still a concern Despite the heavy workload, Marine Rescue NSW recorded a six per cent reduction in incidents compared with the 2023 record year. The organisation credited improved boating education and greater awareness of weather warnings. However, preventable breakdowns remain a

major issue. Sixty-one per cent of rescues in 2025 were linked to avoidable problems, including flat batteries, engine failures and fuel shortages. Volunteers also responded to missing person searches, vessel fires and medical emergencies, often in remote or hazardous locations.

Marine Rescue NSW is again urging boaters to take simple steps to stay safe, including logging on and off, wearing lifejackets, checking vessel maintenance, carrying sufficient fuel and monitoring weather conditions. The organisation finished 2025 with more than 3,500 volunteers statewide, including a growing number of young members, ensuring Marine Rescue NSW remains ready to respond — day or night — across the Northern Rivers and beyond.

Diary of a flood survivor For those following along at home, I can happily advise you that our little garden, to replace where I pool once stood, is slowly coming along. A friend had some leftover bags of soil she was happy to give away and it filled one of the four gardens. We are trying to do as much around the house on a shoestring budget which means it takes a while to achieve the final goals but the bank account isn’t getting hammered. My biggest problem now is actually growing from the seeds I have saved. So far, no luck so will report on that in later columns.

I can also report that we have been approved to get the bottom part of our house retrofitted and this will hopefully start sometime soon. So, if I were to make a new year’s resolution, I would like to say that by the end of the year, the downstairs will once again have walls and a

ceiling and a polished concrete floor. All this using materials that will be flood resistant as much as possible. Instead of the flood resistant walls being nailed in, they will be screwed, so when (not if) another flood comes through, we can unscrew

the walls, dry the internals out to prevent mould growing, then place them back. It is the price we pay to have the beautiful views we do and to be able to walk our dog next to the river and live in such a beautiful little community. Little steps

New Year, New Records at Tweed Heads Return and Earn Depot Robert Heyward

When luck is more than just a name Title: The Lucky Sisters Author: Rachel Johns Price: $24.49 Distributor: Booktopia Lucky by name but are they lucky by nature? Twins, Stevie and Nora Lucky were both adopted by their parents and brought up in a happy normal household. As sisters, they couldn’t be more different. Stevie is the laid back, grab-opportunitiesby-the seat-of- your pants kind of gal who loves eating Kit Kats and Nora is the steady, organised, health nut chef. When their mother dies, Nora decides to find their biological parents, against Stevie’s better judgement. What they find out, however, is not news

they necessarily want to hear. The twins’ reaction to the information they receive becomes a search for what really matters to them in their lives. With their relationship, lives and loves all on the line, the sisters may need more than luck to get through it all. Rachel Johns was an English teacher who turned to writing and has never looked back. Her novel The Patterson Girls won the 2016 ABIA for General Fiction and she’s a two-time winner of the Romance Writers of Australia RUBY Award. She lives in Swan Valley with her husband and two of her three sons. You can order The Lucky Sisters through booktopia.com.au

The St Vincent de Paul Society NSW-operated Tweed Heads Return and Earn Depot has kicked off 2026 by smashing major recycling milestones, highlighting both community spirit and growing environmental awareness across the region. Since opening, the **Return and Earn depot in Tweed Heads has now processed an extraordinary 25 million containers, returning $2.5 million directly back into the local community. The achievement marks a powerful start to the New Year and reinforces the depot’s role as both an environmental and social asset. Record-breaking weeks over Christmas and New Year Momentum surged in the lead-up to Christmas, with the depot recording 210,000 containers processed in a single week. That record was quickly surpassed in the first week of January, when more than 230,000 containers

were returned — the highest weekly total since the depot began operations. These figures signal a strong commitment from locals to keep recycling front of mind, even during the busiest time of year. Each container returned reduces waste while contributing to meaningful community outcomes. Recycling that supports people in need Beyond environmental benefits, every container returned helps fund vital support services. As a return point operator, St Vincent de Paul Society NSW receives a handling fee for each

container processed. That income is reinvested into programs assisting people experiencing hardship. In the last financial year alone, 2,977 people in the Tweed Heads region received help from the Society. More than $560,000 in financial and material assistance was distributed, supporting residents with essentials including food, clothing, financial aid and housing support. Notably, 85 per cent of people seeking assistance requested food support, while almost half were experiencing housing stress, underscoring

the increasing cost-ofliving pressures facing communities across NSW. Small actions, lasting impact These New Year milestones demonstrate how simple, everyday actions can create lasting change. By returning containers, residents are not only protecting the environment but also directly supporting neighbours doing it tough. As 2026 unfolds, the Tweed Heads Return and Earn Depot stands as a clear example of how sustainability and social impact can go hand in hand.

Letters to the Editor “Leemo has views on just about anything”

‘MUM, WHAT’S for DINNER?’ ‘Leemo, I have a coupla’ ‘EXPLAIN WHY’ questions for you. Please respond applying the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth for a change - Gottit?’ Hmmm! ‘Mum Jane’s‘ tone of voice, meanie eyes & mega pruney frown indicated strife brewing:for me! I awaited the onslaught! ‘OK, Leems, firstly, WHY did you send a new photo featuring you AND me with your story to the paper this week? WHY would you do so without even asking me? Whilst I help you with it AT TIMES with your spelling, I’m not even remotely comfortable with the assumption I’m ‘in league’ with some of the ‘outrageous nonsense’ you write. (as was remarked upon by an astute reader in a recent ‘Letter to the Editor’) NEXT: WHY, at times, does it take the serving of 3 different treats to you before you deign to eat one but ignore the others? Do you know how wasteful & costly this can be when I do our Aged Pension budget?’ ‘Frankly, I’d heard quite enough so I told her to ‘zip it’. Goodie! She looked MOST taken aback & her eyes crossed over. ‘Now just listen Mum, I shall answer your ‘EXPLAIN WHY’ questions in order but I shall firstly pass on some amazing ‘life’ facts to you simpy as a ‘fun learning’ interlude. Mum, did you know there are 2 million ants for every human on the planet? The EARS of African elephants are much larger than their Indian & Asian cousins?’ ‘LEEMO, (she was shouting) answer my ‘Explain WHY’ questions RIGHT NOW! STOP being evasive with the truth & rabbiting on with nonsense about ants & elephants ‘cos I’m not in

the slightest bit interested. Eeeek! ‘OK Mum. Eerrrm..I kinda sent the new pic with us both in it by a ‘true’ mistake & once I realised my error it was too late to change it. Mum, I do wish I COULD have done so ‘cos in the new picture it looks like you’re trying to strangle me whilst smiling and it’s a shocker of a photo of me – I much preferred my old one where I look regal & handsome.’ She glared at me. ‘that’s the biggest load of claptrap I’ve ever heard Leems & in truth I ‘probly may well have been trying to strangle you – gottit!’ Hmmmm! I’ll just ignore her & move on to the WHY question about my treat eating: ‘As for my ‘discerning feline palate’ Mum, might I enquire if YOU would eat something you didn’t feel like eating? Yep, I may well like the tin of Pate & Vege mix on Monday & Tuna stuff tin on Tuesday but it does not always follow that I will like it next time.. that’s where you go so wrong with my treats. You must learn to ‘anticipate’ my dietary needs. Us cats, sorta like humans, have our own individual taste preferences at certain times & days depending on what’s on our calendar, where the moon & the tide is & what we’re thinking about. As an example, I most certainly would NOT feel like eating prawn chunks in tuna gravy for brekkie Thursday THIS WEEK…but I might NEXT Thursday!! Cats are most particular about food and will decline it if we don’t feel like it one day but just ‘might’ enjoy it another day. Do you follow?’ Obviously she didn’t ‘cos her pruney face took on the best example of the word ‘daunting’ I’ve ever come across in my years of prolific reading. Tea & ginger nuts were served. ‘You see Mum, I ALWAYS anticipate what you want and act on it – gottit?’ She grabbed me & I received many hugs & rubs & said ‘Right my beautiful boy, we’re at a stalemate here like a Chess game – SO, let’s just be a little more understanding of each other from now on & respect the ‘differences’ in treat choices we choose. ‘Ooooh, Mum, I’d LOVE some Tuna Slivers in Anchovy Gravy for dins tonight.’ I got ‘THE LOOK’ but all is now sorted. With hugs & purrs, Leemo.

Clarence Valley Votes With Its Wallet Selling out across the Clarence Valley proves the community supports a newspaper that tells the truth without fear or favour. Keep it up. P. Harrington – South Grafton Brave Reporting in a Small Community It takes extra courage to publish hard truths when everyone knows everyone. That bravery deserves recognition. D. Wallace – Goonellabah Sold Out Says It All When a local paper sells out within hours, it tells you everything you need to know. People are hungry for honest reporting, and The Northern Rivers Times delivered. J. O’Donnell – Grafton This Paper Has Backbone Too many local papers have lost their spine. The Northern Rivers Times hasn’t — and that’s why people are talking about these stories.

P. O’Reilly – Tweed Heads Readers Know Quality Journalism The paper disappearing from shelves in Yamba so quickly shows readers value fearless, independent news. This is what happens when journalism hits home. M. Carver – Yamba Long Live Leemo and the Buddies Every week I read Leemo last, so I finish the paper smiling. The New Year column was ridiculous in the best possible way. T. Collins – Yamba Thank You for Asking the Hard Questions The detailed coverage shows time, effort and integrity. Thank you for doing the work others avoid. J. McArthur – Kyogle Keep Going — Don’t Back Down Some people will be uncomfortable with this reporting. That’s usually a sign it’s doing its job. R. Malone – Byron Bay Finally, Someone Tells the Truth It takes guts to report on powerful people without fear or favour. The Northern Rivers Times has done what too many outlets won’t — told the story as it actually is. M. Patterson – Grafton Recipes That Nearly Caused a Domestic The recipe page should come with a warning. I laughed so hard reading it that my partner thought I’d lost the plot — then tried to cook it and nearly lost a finger. Worth it. D. Harris – Lismore Maclean Couldn’t Get a Copy By mid-morning there wasn’t a single copy left in Maclean. That doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when a paper earns trust. S. Reynolds – Maclean Water Stories Done Right Ballina’s Water Stories project shows what respectful, inclusive council work looks like when it’s done properly. M. Douglas – East Ballina Recognition Well Deserved This is exactly the kind of

young person we should be celebrating. Millie makes our region proud. A. Peterson – Tweed Heads Book Reviews I Actually Read I don’t usually stop for book reviews, but Samantha’s review of The Tale Comes to an End hooked me. Thoughtful, honest and spoiler-free — I’ve already ordered the book. A. Jennings – Ballina Enough Is Enough at Council Reading about Clarence Valley Council’s year-long dysfunction made my blood boil. Extraordinary meetings, legal disputes, walkouts and confusion over basic procedures are not what we elect councillors for. This isn’t robust debate — it’s institutional failure. R. Thompson – Grafton This Is Not Leadership The Mayor’s Right of Reply felt like an exercise in deflection. When Parliament is being misled, intentionally or not, apologies and corrections should come quickly. Instead, we get stubborn denial. J. Matthews – Yamba Public Trust Has Been Destroyed Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. After reading this coverage, I don’t trust council minutes, explanations or decision-making processes anymore. That’s a frightening place for a community to be. K. Wilson – Maclean Leemo Speaks the Truth Leemo may be a cat, but he understands humans better than most politicians. Funny, sharp and strangely comforting. R. Bennett – Grafton Weaponised Governance Codes of Conduct are meant to protect integrity, not be used as political weapons. What’s described here looks like a culture of silencing, not accountability. D. Harper – South Grafton Disgraceful Treatment of Vulnerable People Evicting long-term caravan park residents before having a proper plan in place is cruel. These are real people, not numbers on a spreadsheet. Council

should be ashamed. L. Franklin – Brooms Head Who Is Running This Council? Reading this article left me wondering who is actually in charge. Councillors blame staff, staff blame councillors, and residents are caught in the middle. M. O’Connor – Iluka Pumpkin Festival Puts Kyogle on the Map The coverage of the Summerland Giant Pumpkin and Watermelon Festival was outstanding. It captured everything that makes Kyogle special — community spirit, humour, creativity and pride. You could almost smell the pumpkins through the page. J. Wallace – Kyogle Extraordinary Meetings Are Now Normal When “extraordinary” meetings happen all the time, it signals a complete breakdown in governance. This council can’t even manage disagreement properly. S. Bennett – Lawrence Minutes Should Tell the Truth If meeting recordings and official minutes don’t match, that’s not a technical error — it’s a serious governance issue. Accuracy matters. P. Reynolds – Ulmarra Resignation Says It All Cr Allison Bryant’s resignation speaks louder than any press release. When good people walk away, it’s because something is deeply wrong. A. Walker – Casino Defensive, Not Accountable The Mayor’s response to criticism has been defensive at every turn. Leadership means accountability, not circling the wagons. G. Howard – Kyogle I Came for Dinner, Stayed for the Laughs The food looked great, but the commentary was even better. I’ve never snorted tea through my nose over a recipe before. K. Wallace – Lennox Head Community Groups Treated Like Enemies Threatening volunteer community groups with legal action is outrageous. Councils should encourage

January 15, 2026 community engagement, not intimidate it. F. Nolan – Yamba Fails the Pub Test Completely If council explanations don’t make sense over a beer at the local pub, they won’t make sense anywhere. C. Daly – Goonellabah Transparency Is Not Optional Access to information is fundamental. If councillors and residents can’t get straight answers, something is seriously broken. H. Carter – Lismore Embarrassing for the Region This kind of dysfunction damages the reputation of the entire Clarence Valley. Other councils manage disagreements without imploding. T. Mason – Ballina More Than Just Big Veggies The write-up about the Pumpkin Festival showed it’s not just about giant produce, but about families, growers and tradition. It made me want to grab the kids and head to Stratheden Street. L. McPherson – Bonalbo State Intervention Seems Inevitable When the Office of Local Government starts talking about formal intervention, it’s clear the situation has gone far too far. R. Jenkins – Evans Head Cooking Page Is Absolute Chaos I don’t know who writes the recipes, but they clearly

NEWS cook like the rest of us — mess everywhere, laughs included. Please never make it sensible. S. O’Brien – Gold Coast Racism Should Have Been Dealt With Immediately The handling of racist remarks was slow and indecisive. Moral clarity should not require months of process. J. Collins – Byron Bay The Wrecking Ball Says It All Arguing over symbolic art while housing, governance and trust collapse is painfully ironic. D. Lawson – Bangalow Leadership Is About Courage True leadership means standing up when it’s uncomfortable. Too many councillors seem more worried about procedure than principle. P. Sinclair – Alstonville Process Used as a Shield Procedure has become a shield to avoid accountability. The community sees through it. J. Murphy – Coraki A Stark Contrast Reading about Millie Trustum in the same edition was jarring. Her courage and generosity stand in sharp contrast to council infighting. E. Grant – Casino An Inspiration to Us All Millie Trustum’s story is humbling. Despite unimaginable challenges, she gives back to others. That’s real leadership. S. Langford – Lismore

If the rest of the paper vanished tomorrow, I’d still buy it just for the cooking page. Equal parts food, therapy and stand-up comedy. P. Donnelly – Coolangatta

Water Stories Done Right Ballina’s Water Stories project shows what respectful, inclusive council work looks like when it’s done properly. M. Douglas – East Ballina

A Sedan Worth Looking At Again The MG7 motoring feature was clear, informative and refreshingly practical. It’s good to see a detailed breakdown that actually considers regional drivers who spend hours on highways, not just city commuters. This article genuinely made me reconsider sedans as a smart option again. T. McAllister – Kyogle

Truth-Telling Matters Hearing Nyangbal voices alongside settler history is long overdue. This project sets a strong example. J. Thomas – Lennox Head Positive Projects Rebuild Trust Initiatives like Water Stories help rebuild faith in local government. Clarence Valley should take notes. L. Harradine – Ballina The Community Is Watching Now After this year, silence will no longer be accepted. Residents are paying attention — and we expect better. T. O’Brien – Tweed Heads Leemo Never Misses Leemo’s column once again had me laughing out loud like a mad person. Whoever came up with fake pets and battery sabotage deserves a Logie. M. Foster – Evans Head Five Stars for the Recipe Page Alone

Local Sport Coverage Done Right The cricket and surfing coverage reminded me why local sport still matters. From grassroots cricket to national surfing pathways, it showed effort, inclusion and pride in our region. These are the stories that bring communities together. J. Reynolds – Maclean A Year of Failure, Plain and Simple This wasn’t bad luck or poor communication — it was failure. The Clarence Valley Council article laid bare a year of cowardice, chaos and moral collapse. Racist remarks tolerated, vulnerable residents pushed aside, and Codes of Conduct used as weapons instead of safeguards. Leadership didn’t just falter, it vanished when it was needed most. The community deserves better than this mess. D. Callaghan – Grafton

The worth of worth… by Nigel Dawe

LIKE listening to the English language as an unacquainted speaker; trying to fathom what life would be like as someone not raised in a capitalist/ consumer culture, is something beyond my wildest comprehension. In the very least, it’s akin to swimming out to sea from a tiny island that is surrounded by nothing but very deep water on all sides. Accumulating wealth, or simply ‘chasing the dollar’ is something so ingrained in our conditioning from such a young age, that most of us don’t even realise or fathom that there are countless other ways to get through our days. Our purpose and worth have become so interlocked with our earning potential and bank ‘balances’, not to mention what we own, that we as a collective have become much the poorer for it. Having grown up in a working-class environment, much of my formative life was spent reflecting on that which constituted wealth, work, riches, poverty, opportunity, privilege, and affluence (to name just a few of the ‘players’ that make up the allencompassing contact sport that is capitalism). For something so important it amazed me how it was structured, if not ‘allowed’ to be determined by the tailored interests of so few. I’ve often said to friends that the only reason I’d like to become filthy rich (and the fact we even link or fit ‘filthy’ into this phrase just about says it all) would be to set up scholarships in every town I travelled through for people that had something to offer, but hadn’t gained the

opportunity to realise those gifts. Or as Winston Churchill once reflected, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” “Your personal experiences with money,” once said Morgan Housel, “make up maybe 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works.” For some that 80% is more like 100%, as they are utterly incapable of conceiving anything beyond the barbed wire parameters of a market driven economy. As long as you’re ‘profiting’ and ‘getting ahead’ (of what I’ve never been able to comprehend) who cares, they say – if each of my wants and whims are being met. I’m not sure if our notions of value will ever be associated with anything other than through the filter of financial metrics, but I do hope that we get to a point where the overriding drive is to distribute and share, rather than to just blindly accumulate. As Edmund Burke who directly witnessed the dawn of the industrial age once said, “If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we’ll become poor indeed.” As if heralding, albeit advancing the very same sentiment, Alain de Botton more recently noted, “Wealth is not an absolute. It is relative to desire. Every time we yearn for something we cannot afford, we grow poorer, whatever our resources. And every time we feel satisfied with what we have, we can be counted as rich, however little we may actually possess.”

Anaconda

January 15, 2026

Jeff Gibbs

The 2025 reboot of Anaconda brings the iconic killer-snake franchise back with slick visuals, a more serious tone and a contemporary ensemble cast. While the film leans heavily on suspense and spectacle rather than campy fun, much of its success rests on how convincingly the cast sells the escalating danger. Overall, the performances are solid, even if few truly stand out.

Cast performances The film is built around an ensemble rather than a single star, and that choice shapes the performances throughout. The lead actor, portraying the expedition’s reluctant field leader, delivers a grounded and believable performance. Rather than playing the role as a fearless action hero, the character is visibly strained by responsibility, which adds credibility as the body count rises. This restrained approach works well and helps anchor the film emotionally.

The female co-lead, cast as a wildlife biologist, brings intelligence and calm authority to the group. Her performance is one of the film’s stronger elements, particularly in scenes where scientific reasoning clashes with panic and fear. She convincingly conveys awe and horror when confronted with the scale of the anaconda, selling the creature as a genuine threat rather than a CGI gimmick. Supporting cast members vary in impact. The documentary filmmaker character adds tension through moral conflict, questioning whether the mission should continue as conditions worsen. While the performance is competent, the character occasionally falls into familiar genre territory. Meanwhile, the corporate-backed expedition member—effectively the human antagonist—leans into arrogance and recklessness. This performance is intentionally broad, but it works within the context of the story, as their poor decisions directly fuel the chaos. Several secondary characters exist largely to raise the stakes,

and while their screen time is limited, most performances are effective enough to make their fates matter. Not every character is fully developed, but the cast generally commits to the material, avoiding the detached performances that often plague creature features. Chemistry and group dynamics Where the cast truly succeeds is in group interaction. The sense of unease and mistrust builds convincingly as personalities clash under pressure. Arguments feel organic rather than forced, and moments of silence—shared glances, hesitation, fear—are often more effective than dialogue. This collective tension helps maintain momentum, especially during the film’s slower middle act.

Final verdict While Anaconda (2025) may not deliver iconic, career-defining performances, the cast does enough to elevate the material. Their commitment grounds the film’s more exaggerated moments and helps maintain suspense. Combined with impressive visuals and a tense

atmosphere, the performances ensure the film remains engaging, even when the story follows familiar territory.

With Swiss legend Roger Federer returning to Rod Laver Arena for a special exhibition match against rivals Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt ahead of the Australian Open, and seven-time grand slam singles champion Venus Williams scoring a wildcard entry to the tournament, tennis fans could be forgiven for thinking they’re stuck in a time warp. However, there’ll be plenty of rising stars and fresh faces eager to make their mark on the court as the main draw gets under way on Sunday. Todd Woodbridge, Jim Courier and Jelena Dokic (pictured) are among the former champions on hand to call all the action as the world’s best players duke it out for the coveted title.

Charting the desperate exploits of a flight attendant who is blackmailed into smuggling drugs for a criminal gang, this nerveshredding crime thriller is such a turbulent journey that it will leave you reaching for an oxygen mask. In Thursday’s increasingly claustrophobic instalment, Jo (Katherine Kelly, pictured) rushes to Sofia in Bulgaria when her wrongly imprisoned son Sonny (Harry Cadby) is stabbed. While keeping vigil by his bedside, Jo gets caught up in a second attempt on Sonny’s life and struggles to trust the mysterious Cormac (Stuart Martin). Co-created by Mike Walden (Marcella, Whitstable Pearl) and Adam Randall (Slow Horses), it’s sure to have you on 1601 the edge of your seat.

Everyone’s favourite scallywag is back – a moustachioed Tristan (Callum Woodhouse, pictured) returns from his service with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in Cairo, bringing a smile to everyone’s face at Skeldale House. Everyone, that is, except Carmody (James AnthonyRose). The magnetic Tristan doesn’t see eye to eye with his straitlaced replacement on their first meeting, a situation only exacerbated by fact that Carmody has made himself at home in his bedroom. While the reason for Tristan’s discharge isn’t yet clear, there are hints that the vet’s cheery demeanour masks the true extent of what he witnessed at war, the impact of which is set to be explored in future episodes.

Three Generations, One Special Place: A Family’s Evans Head Holiday Tradition Jeff Gibbs

For one Brisbane family, Evans Head isn’t just a holiday destination — it’s a lifelong tradition woven through four generations. The love affair began more than 40 years ago, when a one-year-old Adam first arrived for a Christmas break by the sea. Since then, almost every Christmas and New Year has been spent in the same familiar place, surrounded by family, salt air and the gentle rhythm of the river. What started as childhood holidays has grown into something much bigger — a legacy now being passed down to the next generation. Fishing has always been at the heart of those summers. Taught by his dad from as far back as

Evans Head. Each year, the family escapes Brisbane for three full weeks, settling into the laid-back coastal lifestyle. Days are spent along the riverbanks or out on the water, with the boys rarely far from their rods. From early mornings to evenings under the stars, fishing

Ram 1500 TRX set to return as revived SRT division eyes Australia

Jeff Gibbs

High-performance V8 utes could be heading back to Australian showrooms, with the Ram 1500 TRX reportedly set to return as the first new model from Stellantis’ revived SRT performance division. According to overseas reports, the legendary TRX — which bowed out in 2023 — is being readied for a comeback under the reborn Street and Racing Technology (SRT) banner, reigniting hopes it could again be offered locally. The original Ram 1500 TRX earned cult status thanks to its supercharged 6.2-litre Hellcat V8, producing 523kW and 882Nm, making it one of the most powerful production pick-ups ever built. It was engineered as a direct rival to the Ford F-150 Raptor R and gained a strong following in Australia despite its premium price tag. Stellantis confirmed late last year it had re-established the SRT division, consolidating performance development across brands including Ram, Dodge and Jeep. The

RAM 1500 TRX move signalled a renewed commitment to highperformance combustion models, even as the global industry transitions toward electrification. While official specifications for the revived TRX have not yet been released, industry speculation suggests the model could return with an updated version of the Hellcat V8, possibly enhanced by mild-hybrid technology to meet tightening emissions regulations. Full electrification is considered unlikely in the short term, as SRT aims

to preserve its muscle-car heritage.

product.

For Australian buyers, the news is particularly significant. Ram Trucks Australia previously offered the TRX in limited numbers, converting the vehicles to right-hand drive locally. Strong demand saw allocations sell out quickly, despite prices pushing well beyond $200,000. Although Stellantis has not confirmed Australian availability, the return of the TRX significantly improves its prospects. Ram remains committed to the local market, and Australia continues to

Australia’s fastest-growing jobs revealed as AI reshapes the workforce Jeff Gibbs

Australia’s labour market is undergoing a profound shift, with artificial intelligence driving rapid growth in new and unexpected roles, while reshaping how businesses recruit, manage risk and plan for the future. New data highlighted in late 2025 shows that many of the country’s fastest-growing jobs are directly linked to artificial intelligence, data analysis and executivelevel risk management, reflecting how deeply digital technologies are now embedded across the economy. At the top of the list is AI engineer, a role focused on designing, building and deploying artificial intelligence systems. Demand for these specialists has surged as organisations adopt AI tools to automate processes, analyse large datasets and improve decision-making across sectors including finance, healthcare, retail and logistics. Employers are increasingly competing for talent with advanced technical skills, pushing salaries higher and making AI expertise one of the most sought-after capabilities in the job market. Another rapidly expanding role is chief risk officer, highlighting how businesses are grappling with complex challenges ranging from cybersecurity threats and data governance to regulatory compliance and ethical AI use. As automation and AI accelerate, organisations are placing greater emphasis on risk oversight to ensure new technologies are deployed safely and responsibly. The data also points to

strong growth in roles such as data analysts, machine learning specialists and technology project managers. These positions bridge the gap between raw technical capability and real-world business outcomes, translating AI insights into operational improvements and strategic decisions. According to employment analysts, the rise of AI-driven jobs does not mean traditional roles are disappearing overnight. Instead, the workforce is being reshaped, with some tasks automated while new responsibilities emerge. However, separate research has warned that around one in four Australian jobs could be at high risk of automation over the coming decades, particularly roles involving repetitive or routine tasks. This dual trend — job creation alongside disruption — has intensified calls for large-scale upskilling and retraining. Governments, universities and employers are under pressure to ensure workers can transition into new roles as technology changes the nature of work. Digital literacy, adaptability

and lifelong learning are increasingly viewed as essential, regardless of industry. The Federal Government has acknowledged the scale of change, moving to accelerate AI adoption through a national framework aimed at boosting productivity while managing risks. The plan is designed to encourage innovation, attract investment and ensure Australia remains competitive globally, while also addressing concerns around workforce displacement and data security. Importantly, experts say the AI employment boom is not confined to capital cities. Regional Australia stands to benefit as businesses adopt remote-friendly digital roles and technology enables high-value work to be performed outside traditional metropolitan hubs. This presents opportunities for regional communities, including the Northern Rivers, provided workers have access to training and reliable digital infrastructure. While technical roles dominate the fastest-

growing list, jobs requiring strong human skills — such as healthcare, education, construction and community services — are expected to remain resilient. These professions rely heavily on interpersonal interaction,

judgement and hands-on expertise, areas where AI currently plays a supporting rather than replacing role. As Australia’s economy continues to evolve, the message from labour market data is clear:

artificial intelligence is not just changing how people work, but what work looks like. Those who invest in skills development and adaptability are likely to be best placed to navigate the next phase of workforce transformation.

Australia’s biggest tax dodgers banned from leaving the country under ATO crackdown Jeff Gibbs

Australia’s most serious tax debtors are being stopped at the border under new enforcement measures by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), as authorities step up efforts to recover millions of dollars in unpaid tax. The ATO has confirmed it is increasingly using Departure Prohibition Orders (DPOs) to prevent individuals with significant tax debts from leaving Australia. The orders are aimed at people who have persistently refused to engage with the tax office or who pose a high risk of attempting to avoid repayment by travelling overseas. Under a DPO, a person can be stopped at an airport or seaport and prevented from departing the country until their tax matters are resolved. This may include entering into

a repayment arrangement, providing financial disclosures, or settling outstanding debts in full. The ATO says the orders are not used lightly and are targeted only at the most serious cases. Most affected individuals reportedly owe hundreds of thousands — and in some cases millions — of dollars in unpaid tax, penalties and interest. Australian Taxation Office officials say the vast majority of taxpayers do the right thing, but a small minority deliberately avoid their obligations, creating an unfair burden on the wider community. The crackdown forms part of broader compliance action as the ATO increases scrutiny on high-wealth individuals, company directors and those involved in complex financial arrangements. Authorities say early engagement with the tax office remains the best

way for taxpayers to avoid harsh enforcement measures. Importantly, DPOs can be lifted quickly if individuals demonstrate genuine intent to resolve their debts. In some cases, people have been allowed to travel within hours once suitable arrangements were made. The ATO has also issued a warning that ignoring correspondence or attempting to conceal assets increases the likelihood of stronger action. With datamatching technology and international informationsharing agreements now well established, tax officials say it is becoming increasingly difficult to evade detection. For Australians struggling to meet their tax obligations, the message is clear: communicate early, seek professional advice and work with the ATO before enforcement escalates.

Heatwave Health Warning: How to Stay Safe as Temperatures Soar Jeff Gibbs

As heatwave conditions grip large parts of Australia, health authorities are urging residents to take extra precautions to avoid serious heat-related illness. Prolonged periods of extreme heat can place significant strain on the body, particularly for older people, young children, outdoor workers and those with chronic health conditions. Heat-related illness occurs when the body struggles to regulate its internal temperature. Common early symptoms include dizziness, headaches, nausea, muscle cramps and excessive sweating. If left untreated, heat exhaustion can progress to heatstroke, a

life-threatening condition marked by confusion, fainting, seizures and dangerously high body temperature. Medical professionals warn that heat stress does not only affect people outdoors. Indoor environments without adequate ventilation or cooling can also become hazardous,

particularly overnight when temperatures remain elevated. Poor sleep, dehydration and cumulative heat exposure can quickly increase health risks. Staying hydrated is one of the most effective ways to protect against heatrelated illness. People are encouraged to drink water regularly throughout the

Mental health is as important as physical health

Looking after your mental health and wellbeing helps you stay strong and resilient for the road ahead. Staying connected with others, keeping active and reaching out when you need support can help you feel strong, grounded and well – no matter what life brings. For more information to support your mental health and wellbeing, visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/support or call the Mental Health line on 1800 011 511.

day, even if they do not feel thirsty. Alcohol, caffeine and sugary drinks should be limited, as they can worsen dehydration. Light meals are recommended, as heavy foods increase metabolic heat. Keeping cool is equally important. Where possible, people should remain in air-conditioned spaces or use fans in well-ventilated

areas. Cool showers, damp towels and placing feet in cool water can help lower body temperature. Curtains and blinds should be closed during the hottest parts of the day to reduce indoor heat build-up. Outdoor activities should be rescheduled to early morning or evening hours when temperatures are lower. If working outside is unavoidable, frequent breaks in shaded areas are essential, along with loose, light-coloured clothing and broad-brimmed hats. Employers are reminded of their responsibility to monitor workers for signs of heat stress. Checking on vulnerable neighbours, friends and family members is strongly encouraged during heatwaves. Older people may not feel thirst

as readily, while young children can overheat quickly. Pets also need protection, with constant access to shade and fresh water and never being left in parked vehicles. Health experts stress that early action saves lives. Anyone experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion should stop activity immediately, move to a cool place, hydrate and seek medical advice. If symptoms worsen or include confusion or loss of consciousness, emergency assistance should be sought without delay. With heatwaves expected to become more frequent and intense, understanding the warning signs and taking simple preventative steps can make a critical difference in staying safe during extreme weather.

Strong stance on EU FTA needed as 2026 trade headwinds loom Ian Rogers

Australia’s peak farm body is again urging the Federal Government to stand firm in trade negotiations with Europe, warning that accepting a subpar deal would compound growing global pressures on the agricultural sector heading into 2026. The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) says international trade uncertainty is already hitting farmers’ bottom lines, with fresh challenges emerging across key export markets. NFF President Hamish McIntyre said China’s newly announced postquota tariff of 55 per cent on beef exports was a major blow to the cattle industry, with estimates suggesting losses of more than $1 billion. China remains Australia’s second-largest beef export market, making the impact significant for producers nationwide. Meanwhile, Mr McIntyre said ongoing volatility in United States trade policy continued to create uncertainty, not only for Australia’s largest beef market but also across global trading systems more broadly. Closer to home, rising export cost-recovery

charges announced late last year by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry are adding further pressure by increasing supply-chain costs and reducing international competitiveness. Against this backdrop, the NFF says the proposed European Union Free Trade Agreement has become the most critical

trade policy issue for Australian agriculture in 2026. “There are many global trade factors outside Australia’s control,” Mr McIntyre said. “However, the deal we choose to accept from the EU is entirely within the Australian Government’s control.”

He warned that agreeing to a weak deal would undermine Australia’s long-standing commitment to open and liberalised trade, setting a dangerous precedent for future negotiations. “If we drift from these principles, we weaken our position in international forums such as the World Trade Organisation and the

Cairns Group,” he said. Mr McIntyre said Australian negotiators must continue to push for materially improved access for key agricultural sectors, particularly red meat, dairy, sugar and rice. He pointed to Europe’s own recent actions, noting that EU member states were prepared to reject

agreements they viewed as inadequate, including the proposed deal with MERCOSUR nations. Australian agriculture exports around 80 per cent of the food and fibre it produces, making fair and balanced trade agreements essential not only for farmers, but for national productivity and economic growth.

Best-Ever Slow Cooker Bolognaise

Serves 6

his is the kind of bolognaise that makes your house smell like an Italian nonna has moved in and refuses to leave (in a good way). You throw everything into the slow cooker, walk away feeling wildly productive, and return hours later to a sauce so rich and comforting it could emotionally support you. This is dinner that says, “I care,” without you actually having to stand at the stove stirring like a martyr. It’s low effort, high reward, and absolutely not here for weeknight nonsense. Perfect for busy days, lazy Sundays, or when you want leftovers that somehow taste better the next day. This sauce simmers gently, letting the flavours mingle, gossip, and become best friends. It’s PG-13 comfort food: wholesome, warming, and just a little bit saucy.

Ingredients (serves 6) • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 brown onion, finely chopped 2 carrots, finely chopped 2 celery stalks, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 750 g beef mince 2 tablespoons tomato paste 400 g can crushed tomatoes 500 ml beef stock 125 ml red wine (optional but encouraged) 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried basil 2 bay leaves Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste To serve: cooked pasta, grated parmesan, fresh basil

Method 1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Prep 40m

Serves 12

Tips for Success Add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and smelling excellent. 2. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. 3. Increase heat, add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up, until browned. No pink bits allowed. 4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. This step builds flavour and makes you feel like a pro. 5. Transfer everything to the slow cooker. Add crushed tomatoes, beef stock, red wine (if using), oregano, basil and bay leaves. Season well. 6. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours. 7. Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning, and serve over pasta with parmesan.

• Chop the vegetables finely so they melt into the sauce. No surprise carrot chunks. • If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes. • Taste at the end. Bolognaise loves attention.

Leftovers (The Gift That Keeps Giving) Use leftovers for lasagne, stuffed baked potatoes, toasted sandwiches, or spooned over polenta.

Over-21 Tiramisu Slice (ID Required)

his is tiramisu that has absolutely lived a little. It’s bold, boozy, unapologetic and not remotely interested in being served to children, pets, or anyone who thinks coffee after 3pm is “too much”. This slice doesn’t whisper espresso — it shouts it, then follows up with a splash of something strong and a wink. Elegant on the plate, reckless in the fridge at midnight. Perfect for dinner parties that drift into “just one more drink” territory, this is dessert with benefits. Creamy mascarpone, caffeine, alcohol and chocolate — essentially a night out in slice form. It’s smooth, indulgent and guaranteed to loosen conversation and waistband buttons. PG-13 has left the building.

Ingredients • • • • • • • • • •

250 g mascarpone 300 ml thickened cream ½ cup icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1½ cups strong espresso coffee, cooled ¼ cup coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or Tia Maria) 2 tablespoons dark rum or marsala wine 250 g savoiardi sponge fingers Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting 100 g dark chocolate, finely grated

Method

1. Whip cream to soft peaks. Fold through mascarpone, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth. 2. Combine coffee, coffee liqueur and rum or marsala in a shallow dish. 3. Quickly dunk biscuits (no swimming lessons) and line a tray. 4. Spread over half the cream mixture. 5. Repeat layers, finishing with cream. 6. Chill overnight for maximum flavour and regret-free

slicing. 7. Dust heavily with cocoa and chocolate before serving.

Tips for Success • Strong coffee matters. Weak coffee is a crime here. • Chill overnight — the booze needs time to behave badly. • Best served with laughter and zero responsibilities tomorrow.

GARDENING

Creating a Food Forest in the Northern Rivers Jeff Gibbs

Across the Northern Rivers, more gardeners are turning to food forests as a smart, resilient way to grow fresh produce. A food forest mimics the structure of a natural forest while producing fruit, vegetables, herbs and edible natives. Importantly, it suits the region’s subtropical climate, rich soils and seasonal rainfall. A food forest works by layering plants so they support one another. Over time, this creates a low-maintenance system that improves soil health, boosts biodiversity and delivers food year after year.

Step 1: Observe and plan your site Before planting, take time to understand your land. Note where the sun falls, how water moves during heavy rain, and which areas stay dry or

damp. In the Northern Rivers, drainage is crucial, particularly on floodprone or heavy clay soils. Mapping these conditions helps avoid losses later. Also consider access paths, future growth and how close trees will be to fences or buildings.

Step 2: Start with soil health Healthy soil is the backbone of any food forest. Begin by reducing compaction and increasing organic matter. Mulch heavily with sugarcane, wood chips or leaf litter to protect soil and retain moisture. Compost, aged manure and worm castings will encourage beneficial microbes and earthworms. In subtropical areas, mulching also reduces weed pressure and prevents soil erosion during summer storms.

Step 3: Establish the canopy layer Plant your largest, long-

term trees first. These include fruit and nut trees suited to the Northern Rivers such as macadamia, avocado, mango, citrus and native bush foods. Space them well, allowing for mature size and airflow. These trees create shade, shelter and organic matter for everything below.

Unlike traditional gardens, food forests thrive on dense planting. This shades soil, reduces weeds and maximises productivity. After planting, mulch again to lock in moisture and protect young plants. Water regularly during establishment, especially through dry winter spells.

Step 4: Add lower layers

Step 6: Maintain and observe

Once canopy trees are in place, build the remaining layers. This includes smaller fruit trees, shrubs, herbs, groundcovers, climbers and root crops. Think of layers as working together. For example, nitrogen-fixing plants like pigeon pea enrich the soil, while lemongrass and sweet potato suppress weeds. Climbers such as passionfruit can use trees as natural supports, saving space.

In the first two years, maintenance is mainly watering, mulching and light pruning. Over time, the system becomes more self-sustaining. Fallen leaves feed the soil, pests balance naturally and yields increase. A well-designed food forest is never static. Observe what thrives, replace what fails and adapt to changing seasons. For Northern Rivers households, a food forest offers fresh food, resilience against climate extremes and a deeper connection to the land.

Step 5: Plant densely and mulch deeply

Bartlett ton puts Iluka on front foot Tim Howard

A patient, unbeaten 108 from Iluka’s Dean Bartlett has put his team in a good position to press for its first win of the season in the opening round of two day cricket in the Clarence River first grade competition. Bartlett, batting at No 3, anchored a disciplined batting effort from IIuka against GDSC Easts, who laboured through 72.4 overs to dismiss the hosts for 287. He faced 196 deliveries and hit 14 fours and a six and was involved in a lengthy partnership with opening batter Ed Burton, 74 and another valuable stand with Beau Dean Oestmann, 36. The Iluka top four contributed 228 of the team score, laying the foundation for their competitive total. Initially Bartlett played second fiddle to the more aggressive Burton, who plundered his runs in just 80 balls. He then ensured the lower order batters continued to contribute with several

reaching double figures. The innings fell away toward the end with last three wickets tumbling for two runs. It left Easts with a tricky 10 minutes of batting, in which they faced three overs for three runs

without loss. Easts all rounder Shannon Connor put in a typical marathon performance, bowling 25.4 overs and taking 6-91, including wickets from the final two balls of the innings. In the unlikely event of

another Iluka innings, he is on a hat trick. Skipper and left-arm spinner Dave Duroux was the other major wicket taker, taking 3-55 from 15 overs. The ultra-aggressive Connor is Iluka’s biggest

Sports Results Jackson Lights Up Casino Social Golf Sunday morning social golf at Casino Golf Club delivered fireworks, with Wayne Jackson producing a red-hot round to take the winner’s honours on 25 stableford points. Jackson was simply unstoppable, holding off a strong late charge from Darren Diews on 22. The putter was on song for J. Olive, who claimed the putting trophy with a silky 13 putts, while Diews doubled his success by snaring the players draw. Nearest-the-pin action was fierce, with G. Skennar sharp on the 4th, P. Piccoli deadly on the 5th and 7th, G. Randall finding the mark on the 6th, Diews striking gold on the 17th and B. Yates sealing the 18th. Next Sunday’s event, proudly sponsored by Richmond Valley Meats at the RSM Shopping Village Casino, is yet to be locked in — but visitors are always welcome. Teeoff runs from 6.30am to 7.30am. Cherry Street Croquet

Delivers Drama Across the Boards The lawns at Cherry Street Croquet Club were alive with tension, momentum swings and thrilling finishes as Association, Ricochet and Twilight Golf Croquet all produced gripping contests. Association Croquet: Photo-Finish Finishes Association Croquet served up two nail-biters, with R. Chapman edging P. Waters 13–12 in a heartstopper. In the other clash, G. Porter and P. Hume combined beautifully to overcome G. Drew and S. Hume 14–11 in a hardfought battle. Ricochet Croquet: End-toEnd Action Ricochet Croquet was relentless from start to finish. P. Waters and R. Chapman fought to a dead-even 11–11 draw with D. Scott and G. Porter, while P. Scott and Bev Bill powered past J. Doust and J. Hannigan 12–8. Big performances followed, with N. Watts and N. Barnes claiming a commanding 17–11 win over B. Wellings and M. Russell. C. Edlund was

clinical in a dominant 26–11 victory over M. Field, while H. Young and R. Allen secured a solid 14–10 result against Brenton Bill. Late drama saw D. Jones and M. Field squeeze past C. Edlund and H. Young 11–10, R. Allen and Bev Bill edge J. Doust and N. Barnes 14–11, and D. Scott and M. Russell finish locked at 13–13 with N. Watts and J. Hannigan. Twilight Golf Croquet: Points Race Heats Up Twilight Golf Croquet was fast, furious and fiercely contested, with R. Offley topping the leaderboard on 17, just ahead of M. Rennie on 16. A tightly packed chasing pack followed, with S. Holland, D. Jones, J. Hannigan, Bev Bill and G. Porter all tied on 14, keeping the competition wide open.

Medal Another bumper field turned out for the January Monthly Medal at Coraki Golf Club, and it was K. Osborne who stole the show with a superb nett 65 to claim the medal — a cracking round from start to finish. S. Smith secured the Veterans win, with S. Ormond runner-up and D. Johnson third. R. Earnshaw picked up the free game, while the chicken and ball winners list ran long, including C. McClymont, S. McDonough, T. Wood, W. Henwood, M. Stafford, J. Nilsson, R. Rodda, J. Larkin, G. Flaherty, D. Beerens, R. Black and S. Toms. Nearest-the-pin honours went to R. Rodda on the 3rd and 12th, with Osborne again featuring on the 6th and 15th. The putting competition was shared by D. Beerens and D. Johnson. Next up is an 18-hole two-person ambrose this Thursday, 15 January, with an 8.00am shotgun start. Till then — good golfing! Max

threat when the game resumes on Saturday. He has a history of playing big innings, scoring quickly and turning games on their heads. Premiers Harwood put the squeeze on Maclean United when they visited Barry Watts Oval, Maclean. Some ultra-tight bowling eventually dismissed Maclean for 108 from 64.5 – that’s 1.5 runs an over – a run chase unlikely to concern the premiers. Maclean captain Dan McColl top scored with 44 from 104 balls with three 4 and a 6, but only two other players managed double figures. The Fischer brothers, Isaac and Duncan, opened the bowling and took six wickets between them. Duncan removed veteran opener Geoff Simmons for

a 23-ball duck and Isaac got the other opener Brady Walker for 4 from 20 balls, which put Maclean on the back foot early and they never fully recovered. Isaac finished with 5-27 from 17.5 overs and also wrapped up the innings with his final two balls. He might be in with a show of a hat trick on Saturday. Legspinner Jacob McMahon, 3-27 from 13 overs took valuable middle order wickets, including the important one of McColl. It was a creditable effort to hang in there until the 65th over, but Harwood’s tight bowling and fielding should prove decisive when the match resumes. Lawrence is in a strong position at 3-71 when it resumes its run chase of Tucabia Copmanhurst’s 150 at Ellem Oval, Grafton, on Saturday. Tucabia made a bright start to its innings with Beau Savil, 24 and Travis Anderson, 16, scoring quickly. But opening bowler Nathan Williams, 3-42 from eight overs, recovered from some early stick to take the first three wickets and bring the match back to an even keel. Tucabia’s middle order settled in and Matt Pigg, 30, his son Joe, 25 and Matt Dougherty, 19 battled hard, without going big. Lawrence skipper Ben Shaw did the hard yards in the middle overs and was rewarded with the fine figures of 5-34 from eight overs. Lawrence shared the bowling around in the hot conditions with six of the team taking a turn at the crease.

You risk more than your own safety going a few K’s over. No matter how quiet it is, or how many times you’ve driven the road, every kilometre over the speed limit increases the risk of a serious crash. Isn’t it time we got serious about casual speeding?
