Local business owner tackles offensive graffiti By Rachael THORPE LAURIETON residents and business owners were appalled to discover hate symbols had been scrawled in a telephone box and on several signs in the town last week. Concerned that the graffiti could cause distress, local business owner Jacob Asquith armed himself with cleaning supplies and removed the offending symbols himself. “They were offensive,” he said. “That sort of thing is not needed or wanted in our small community.”

Registered nurse and Deputy Unit Commander Stephanie McMahon moved to the area two years. Looking for a way to participate in her adopted community, she joined the SES. “I feel privileged as part of the SES that the community have selected us as a recipient of their fundraising,” she said. “I love this community. It’s so tight-knit, and everyone looks out for everyone else.” SES volunteers attended on the day, demonstrating how to use a defibrillator and providing general first-aid advice. Helping the Deguaras organise the event were site manager Mark Ennor and their neighbours Jill Quirk and Margaret Latham. Member for Port Macquarie, Robert Dwyer cooked in a BBQ trailer loaned by the Tacking Point Lions Club and later enjoyed a steak sandwich. Wauchope musical duo Susan Ashton and Tom McIliveen entertained the crowd, combining traditional bush poetry with folk music. A sprinkling of rain didn’t dampen spirits, as village residents socialised and purchased plants, handcrafts and homemade treats. Mr Deguara expressed his gratitude to local businesses who supported the event through donations. “We raised $2033.50 for the SES,” he said. “I’m extremely happy with how it went; this year’s event was even more successful than our last one.”

CAMDEN Haven Concert Band offered the perfect way to while away an hour in the Spring-like sunshine for patrons at Laurieton Markets on Sunday, 30 August. Established in 1995, the band was incorporated in 2002 to include the Camden Haven Concert Band and Laurieton Voices Choir. With ages ranging from 10 to over 90, the band encourages school students and people of all ages to continue their musical development.
Many former youth band members have gone on to successful careers in the music industry. Musical director Iain Pole is the longest-serving band member, having joined in 1996. “You don’t have to be professional,” he said. “I was a flute player, but there were too many flutes in those days so I said I’ll play the French Horn.” The band’s musical director for 20 years, Mr Pole said the band has a real community feel, with family members and friends

The band recently received a grant from Kendall Community Op Shop for a travel drum kit and bags to transport large percussion instruments. “It makes it so much easier to get to events and saves damage to equipment,” band member Cherie Pauling said. Their annual concert ‘Poseidon's Playlist’ will be held at Laurieton United Services Club on Sunday, 27 September when the band and choir will perform songs with a water theme. There will also be

Residents urged to report cane toad sightings FROM Page 1 distances on vehicles, in freight and materials from cane toad impacted areas to other parts of the state,” the spokesperson said. Following the Lakewood detection, DPIRD has engaged with the local community through a social media alert and arranged a letterbox drop encouraging residents to watch for and report further sightings. “The public is an integral part of reporting unusual animal detections and DPIRD appreciates the support of the NSW community in reporting things like the cane toad in Port Macquarie,” the spokesperson said. “If members of the public
believe they’ve detected a cane toad they should catch it without harming it and report it with a photo via ToadScan.” DPIRD will contact people making reports to provide further assistance. Residents are also being encouraged to watch for cane toads potentially arriving as stowaways in luggage, camping equipment, caravans, vehicles, trailers and boats. Green waste, mulch, garden and building materials, equipment and freight can also provide opportunities for the pest to travel from cane toad-affected areas. The cane toad is listed as an extreme threat by the National Environment and Invasives Committee. Despite being a tropical
species, cane toads are capable of establishing selfsustaining populations as far south as Sydney, making early detection important to their management in NSW. The pest can affect native animals through predation and competition for resources, while toxins excreted through glands above a cane toad’s shoulders can poison native fauna, pets and other animals. Residents who suspect they have found a cane toad are encouraged to photograph and report the animal through ToadScan. q

Sundial Your Smile
SOVEREIGN Place Town Centre will come alive with Twilight Tastings 2026, bringing together fine food, wine, beer, and live entertainment - and a serving of community spirit. The free event will be held from 3 pm to 7 pm on Saturday, 5 September, offering visitors the opportunity to sample products from local and national producers, while meeting the makers and suppliers behind the brands. Ritchies IGA’s Tim Walker said preparations were coming together nicely, despite initial concerns about the weather. “The weather has panned out beautifully, and everything is coming together for what should be a fantastic afternoon,” Mr Walker said. “The idea behind Twilight Tastings is to bring together local and national wine, beer and food producers in the one location.
“We hope it can continue to grow and become an iconic event for the Greater Port Macquarie region.” Among the special guests will be renowned winemaker Neil McGuigan, while MasterChef Australia Top 8 contestant and World Food Championships finalist Sumeet Saigal will present a live cooking demonstration. Visitors will also be able to enjoy curated fine food options, local flavours and a selection of wine and beverage tastings. Suppliers and producers will be on hand to share their knowledge and offer eventday deals. Providing the soundtrack for the afternoon will be Black Magic, a 10-piece band performing live as the sun sets over Sovereign Place. A special barrel raffle will offer prizes, including accommodation at Leogate Estate and a vineyard tour. Twilight Tastings is
proudly supporting the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, adding an important fundraising element to the community celebration. Ritchies IGA organised the event with the support of Sovereign Place Centre representative Shae Brims, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, and Ritchies NSW State Liquor Manager Garth Tetley. Sancrox Rural Fire Brigade will also assist with parking. Mr Walker believes Twilight Tastings has the potential to become broader and bigger. “We would love to see it grow into a signature local event to showcase quality food and beverages, while bringing people together,” he said. Families and groups of friends are encouraged to enjoy a free afternoon of fine food, tastings, live music and community connection.

Community rallies behind child protection By Rachael THORPE
NATIONAL organisation Bravehearts was founded in 1997 and is acknowledged as a leading Australian child protection organisation dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. With statistics indicating that one in four Australian children have experienced sexual abuse, Bravehearts has a vision of a world where people, communities and systems all work together to protect children. The charity raises funds which facilitate their goal of providing a holistic and coordinated approach to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. This includes personal safety education for children and young people, as well as specialist counselling for affected children and their families.
Last month the Bravehearts Mid North Coast committee held their annual fundraising Breakfast for Bravehearts for 160 people featuring guest speakers Gary Jubelin, a former high profile Australian homicide detective, and Shane Fitzsimmons AO. Committee member Jenny Watts told News Of The Area the organisation was very grateful to the speakers for the donation of their time. “Unfortunately, our region is well above average for reported cases of child sexual abuse, and I’d encourage everyone if your child says they don’t feel comfortable around someone, pay attention,” she said. “Being local here and caring about our community, my colleague Janice Saunders and I were so very privileged to attend the recent Breakfast for Bravehearts Charity event, and so honoured to get the chance to learn more about

Bird flu threatens elephant seals AS the Australian government rushes to immunise certain native species against bird flu, it has also decided to protect its Macquarie Island researchers from risk. The Australian Government’s Antarctic Division has made the difficult decision to temporarily withdraw staff from Macquarie Island research station due to the psychosocial risk to expeditioners posed by a potential H5 avian influenza (bird flu) outbreak on the remote island. The research station, where 24 expeditioners currently live and work, was established on the Southern Ocean island about 1,500km south-east of Tasmania in 1948. While the risk to humans remains low, a significant mortality event during the upcoming seal breeding season could expose expeditioners to prolonged psychological stress and other workplace impacts.
The health, safety and wellbeing of expeditioners is the highest priority for the Australian Antarctic Division, making their withdrawal from Macquarie Island a necessary precaution. Sending a ship to extract our staff from Macquarie Island is a significant undertaking. “We’ve seen what this disease can do, based on our experience at Heard Island and McDonald Islands,” said Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water Deputy Secretary Sean Sullivan. “Given the risks to our expeditioners, and to minimise risks across the whole Antarctic Program, we consider it necessary to make this decision in advance of any significant wildlife mortality event.” The situation at Macquarie Island is different to Australia’s Antarctic stations, where stringent H5 bird flu preparations
can manage risks for expeditioners. While H5 bird flu has not yet been detected on the island, it is home to large elephant seal populations close to station buildings – and expert assessments predict a high likelihood of a significant mortality event during the upcoming breeding season. Elephant seals have proved particularly susceptible to H5 bird flu, with pup mortality rates of more than 90 per cent discovered in some colonies in the sub-Antarctic external territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands. “We’ve seen what this disease can do, based on our experience at Heard Island and McDonald Islands,” Mr Sullivan said. “Macquarie Island is unique in that thousands of elephant seal pups are born close to the station every spring. No other Australian Antarctic station is in this position, and there are no
elephant seal colonies on mainland Australia.” Australia’s icebreaking research and supply vessel, RSV Nuyina, will travel to the island in early October to retrieve personnel and essential cargo. The Australian Antarctic Division is currently working through steps to mitigate impacts for our international monitoring obligations, wildlife monitoring and infrastructure, and to best prepare the station for temporary closure. Overseas experience shows few direct actions can be taken to mitigate the impacts of H5 bird flu on native species. Owing to the island’s remoteness and harsh conditions, active control measures for wildlife are not planned at this stage. Fortunately, wildlife on Macquarie Island exists in a largely undisturbed state. The territory is free of most invasive species that threaten native species and ecosystems commonly found

in mainland Australia. This follows significant investment and effort in previous years to eradicate
rabbits, rats and mice, which has boosted resilience and increased chances of recovery among island seals.
Comboyne’s first Scarecrow Festival

By Shalise LEESFIELD WITH the recent arrival of Spring, the inaugural Comboyne Scarecrow Festival is fast approaching, kicking off on 12 September and running through to 11 October. Scarecrow creation and registration ends on 7 September, in time for the festival commencement.

Her entry, named Betsy and the Blueberry Burglar, is a human sized cat creature alongside a feathered friend. “The construction of this hilarious scarecrow has been

an upcycling adventure,” Ms Doeland said. Betsy the cat is crafted from an old painted pair of jeans and a jumper from a local op-shop. The scarecrow’s head is an old knitting and crochet art project of Doeland’s - the ‘itchy cat hat’. Ms Doeland told News Of The Area that the scarecrows will stand in their respective fields for the duration of the
festival, meaning artists must balance creativity and stability. The burglar bird is created with a sauce bottle, bubble wrap and feathers cut from frozen blueberry packets. “Together, they make quite the statement!” Ms Doeland said. Festival attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite scarecrow creation. The winners will be determined by a public ballot and the announcement will take place on 16 October at the Comboyne Ex-Servicemen’s and Citizens Club. The Comboyne Scarecrow Festival encourages the community to make the drive out to experience what the area has to offer. “Festivals like this are a brilliant way to shine a light on the local community and showcase the beauty of small town living,” Ms Doeland said.

Sensory experiences and creative practice

Alison will explore how different sensory experiences can shape creative practice and offer insights into the world around us, using
examples of artworks created by neurodivergent artists nationally and internationally. “There are many artists who use their neurodiverse experience to inform their work and this is what makes their work important and transformative,” said Alison.

The work was developed by Alison Bennett and Megan Beckwith, with Ramana Dienes-Browning in 2023, following a concept developed through a creative dialogue online over 10 years with Dean Walsh. “It is about the comfort and integration that many autistic people feel when submerged underwater and the strong sense of connection
felt with our non-human kin - in this case the aquatic creatures encountered whilst scuba diving.” ‘SubMerge’ is designed to be experienced while lying down under a weighted blanket to mimic the weight of water during scuba diving. Alison grew up on the Mid-North Coast. Her family owned property in Lorne and she attended Kendall Central School. “I feel a powerful connection to the region,” she said. “My childhood memories of being submerged in the waters of the Camden
‘SubMerge’ is part of ‘sensorial,’ currently exhibiting at The Glasshouse Regional Gallery.

Spring signals a fishing frenzy By Kate SHELTON
mullet gut have been effective baits. Flathead numbers remain steady, with goodsized fish being caught between Settlement Point and Rawdon Island. Lures and whitebait have proven successful for these elusive predators. There have also been reports of mud crabs emerging in the deeper sections of the river. For those fishing off the rocks, Point Plomer and Queens Head have delivered above-average tailor, while the area under the Lighthouse has produced respectable catches. Bream have been consistent, with early morning anglers enjoying the best results. Offshore, kingfish numbers have been on the rise, with mid-week anglers landing fish up to eight kilograms. Live bait has been the preferred method. A few nice snapper have also been caught, with lures proving effective for the larger specimens. Things are also starting to heat up around the Macleay River and South West Rocks, with Mitch from Outdoor Adventures getting amongst some excellent
SPRING has arrived on the Mid North Coast and over the coming weeks I would expect to see a significant increase in pelagic activity along our coastline. As the ocean currents begin to shift and baitfish numbers increase, large schools of bait are likely to congregate in the 100 to 200 metre depths, attracting some of the ocean’s most exciting predators, including tuna and striped marlin. This is a time of year that local offshore anglers eagerly anticipate and, if conditions continue to line up, we should see increasing numbers of striped marlin encountered between South West Rocks and Port Macquarie. All methods, including skip bait, lures and live bait, can be highly effective. The Hastings River this week has seen a slight slowdown in luderick activity in the lower reaches, but the breakwalls continue to produce fish when targeting them with green weed or sea cabbage. Bream fishing has improved, with Limeburners Creek holding some quality specimens. Yabbies and
kingfish while spearfishing and beach fishing. The water has been incredibly clear, making for some fantastic conditions underwater, with plenty of baitfish, longtail tuna and good-sized tailor moving through the area. With bait numbers building and water temperatures continuing to rise, the next few weeks should provide some exciting opportunities for both anglers and spearfishers. Heading south to the Camden Haven River region, the beaches have been sporadically visited by schools of salmon, which have been readily attracted to small metal lures. A few tailor have also been accompanying the salmon, although in smaller numbers. Both North Haven Beach and Rainbow Beach have been holding reasonable numbers of bream and whiting. For those seeking mulloway, the Lake Cathie area has continued to produce the best results for school-sized fish. Offshore in the Camden Haven area, snapper have been plentiful on most reefs, with a mix of plate-sized fish

and larger specimens. Soft plastics, along with anchoring and establishing a good burley trail, have been the most successful techniques for targeting the bigger fish.
As spring progresses and baitfish numbers increase, it will be interesting to see how quickly the pelagic activity builds across the region. With warmer weather,
increasing baitfish activity and more stable conditions hopefully on the way, the coming weeks should see plenty of exciting fishing opportunities across the Mid North Coast.

and it was a very moving night.” Ms Crowe’s aunt, local resident Jean Wyper, told News Of The Area, “Nicole has loved doing this since she was a nipper. “She has always been so keen. “I’m lucky to have her as a niece, the whole family is incredibly proud of her.” The event included a tribute to the lives lost in the Bondi terror attack, with volunteers from Bondi clubs formally recognised for their extraordinary courage as first responders providing medical treatment and trauma care despite the danger.
Camden Haven volunteer named NSW administrator of the year By Rachael THORPE THE Surf Life Saving NSW Awards of Excellence have been held annually since the 1990s with the aim of recognising outstanding volunteer contributions across lifesaving, education, surf sports and club administration. Nicole Crowe of Camden Haven SLSC was awarded Administrator of the Year at a gala event at the Hyatt Regency Sydney. The ceremony took place in front of 650 attendees, representing 129 clubs across the region, including
the Member for Port Macquarie Robert Dwyer. Camden Haven SLSC President Gary Hawkins said, “Nicole holds the following positions at Camden Haven SLSC. “Director of Administration, Registrar, Grants Officer, Junior Activities Chairperson, Hall Hire Manager, Child Safe Coordinator, Complaints Officer, Surf Sports support and a valued member on the Emergency Callout Team. “Her influence extends beyond the club, holding roles such as SLSMNC Branch Director of Member
Services, member of the SLSNSW Junior Working Group, Member Welfare Officer and a mentor on the SLSNSW Women's Mentoring Program>. “Nicole's volunteering started in 1995 when she gained her Bronze medallion, and since then has been the recipient of 20-year patrol service, 25-year Long Service and has recently been honoured with SLSMNC Branch Distinguished service award. “Last season saw Nicole patrol Grants Beach, recording a total of 134.5 volunteer hours.
“She was also instrumental in attending to all phases of compliance, promotion of club activities through social media, and attending carnivals as an official. “Nicole's attention to detail ensures the club is well organised and informed across all operations. “From growing membership to streamlining administration through improving compliance, her influence is measured by

Last Will not the last word MATEO moved to Australia as a young man and made his living renovating properties. He worked hard and built a substantial estate, including a rundown terrace in Surry Hills that he renovated and made his home. His sister, Rosa, and nephews, Diego and Javier, remained in his home country. Despite the distance, Mateo remained close to them, sending money home, helping them through difficult periods, and making wills providing for them. Later in life, Mateo became close with his neighbour, Amelie. Over time, their friendship deepened and they began living together. Amelie became financially dependent upon Mateo and invested much of her savings into the Surry Hills home and cared for Mateo as his health declined. Despite his life with Amelie, Mateo remained committed to his family back home and made a Will leaving 90 per cent of his estate to Rosa, Diego and Javier, and the remaining 10 per cent to Amelie. Several years later, Mateo became ill and his condition fluctuated. Some days he was alert and happily discussing his affairs. On others, doctors recorded concerns about his memory, orientation and ability to process information. During what appeared to be one of his better days, Mateo made a new will, leaving everything to Amelie. His family received nothing. Mateo died only days later. Mateo’s family challenged the will, raising concerns about Mateo’s testamentary capacity when the new will was made. The Court considered whether, despite appearing lucid when he signed the will, Mateo understood its effect, his property and the competing claims upon his estate. The Court was not satisfied. The earlier will applied. Amelie brought a family provision claim. The Court considered her financial dependence, care for Mateo and contributions to the home, together with Mateo’s longstanding support of his family. Ultimately, Amelie received the Surry Hills home, while Mateo’s remaining assets went to Rosa, Diego and Javier. Thank you to Ellysha Laklem for her assistance with this column.

DEAR Jasminda, I’VE just been told of my success in getting a new job. While I’m thrilled, part of it involves networking. Not only do I hate large social gatherings, I also have trouble remembering people’s names. I’m considering declining the job offer.
Renewable energy is cheaper DEAR Larry, carbon dioxide levels and global and cleaner temperatures. If you view a graph DEAR News of the Area
IT was good to get a response from Mr Duesberry to my recent letter about climate change and fossil fuel handouts. In this letter I pointed out that the Federal Government gives $31,000 per minute to overseas fossil fuel companies that are making millions of dollars in profits (Source: Australian Institute). This equates to billions of taxpayer dollars per year. If the Federal government was concerned about the people of Australia it would use this money to provide free dental care to all Australians, or eliminate homelessness, or put money into renewable energy and bring down the cost of electricity. However, the Government chooses to pander to the fossil fuel industry and hand out obscene amounts of money. Unfortunately, I have to disagree with Mr Duesbery that there is no correlation between
showing atmospheric CO2 and average global temperature the correlation is obvious. In statistical terms the correlation coefficient is between 0.88 and 0.92 which is a very strong value. I was very pleased that Mr Duesberry brought up the matter of renewable energy. Market forces will work to eliminate the use of coal and gas for electricity over time. Renewables are cheaper and cleaner. The following quote is from Giles Parkinson an energy expert from Reneweconomy. "Wholesale electricity prices through Australia’s main grid plunged by nearly 50 per cent in the June quarter [2026] amid a surge in renewable energy output to new seasonal highs, a slump in coal output and the lowest amount of gas generation for 23 years."
Regards, Michael Jones.
Politics should be hard work, not a headline grab DEAR News Of The Area, HISTORY shows us that prohibition does not work. You only need to look at alcohol, "illegal" drugs, abortion, celibacy in the Catholic church, gambling, assisted dying and the topic of the day - smoking - to name a few If people want something, they will find it. All governments can do is to minimise the adverse impacts of such activities through regulation, education, incentives and enforcement. It is irrefutable that smoking is bad for you and the mounting evidence is that illegal smokes and vapes are doubly so. There has been a great multipronged program in place to reduce the impact of smoking. Why give up now?
Currently it seems politicians would rather spend more money on hospital cancer wards than law enforcement. What baffles me is the lack of education through school/ community programs and advertising about the danger of illegal cigarettes. Anti smoking ads seem to have dropped off the earth. Are they saving money? Is the thinking that the war on smokes has been won? It will never be won but it is a fight worth having. Politicians, step up to the fight. That's why we elect you, to protect us - not for you to find the easy way out and grab a few headlines. Regards, Graeme Wilson.

Larry C.
SOCIAL anxiety can be debilitating and can result in numerous behaviours, including shunning the limelight and becoming an obscure agony aunt for a local paper. While I’m not suggesting this is your particular affliction, it could be, and it may be why you dislike networking. Alternatively, it could be because you detest the sensory overload of being surrounded by nattering people wearing lanyards and ill-fitting suits in a conference room with
Jackson Pollock-style carpet and flickering fluorescent lights. And you hate it even more when one of those people comes up to you, arm extended for a power handshake, before spending the next 15 minutes talking about the weather and/or the traffic and then doing a deep-dive into the problematic intersection of digital nomadism and corporate governance, the whole time seemingly unaware of the parsley sprig lodged between his front teeth. Larry, my suggestion is to do what everyone else does. First, head to the pre-meeting wine bar (or avail yourself of your accommodation’s minibar) and/or practise the art of the tilted-head nod and the ‘is that Veronica from Melbourne at the canapé table? It is! Please excuse me,’ exit strategy. As for remembering people’s names, the easiest way is to use their name frequently during initial discussions, and then come up with an association. You need to be careful with this, though. If a person’s name is Tom and your association is Jones, don’t accidentally call him David after the department store when you next meet. Even worse, don’t go up to him, clear your throat, and burst into ‘My, my, my Delilah.’ Carpe diem, Jasminda.
Labor must reject Hanson’s ‘politics of hate' THE Albanese Government must not capitulate to Pauline Hanson’s politics of hate by stripping rights from people seeking asylum in an attempt to appear tougher on migration. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke last week postponed a National Press Club address where he was expected to announce sweeping migration changes, reportedly including further restrictions on the work rights of people seeking asylum, and their ability to appeal protection decisions. The reported proposals represent an alarming attempt by the Labor Government to accommodate One Nation’s antimigrant agenda, rather than show strong leadership by challenging the fear, division and misinformation on which it depends. Removing work rights for people seeking asylum would deliberately force people into poverty and dependence on charities. It would prevent people from supporting themselves and their families, contributing to their communities and rebuilding their lives in safety. The government must instead ensure that people can support themselves and their families while they wait for their claims to be processed.
Where people are unable to work, they must have access to an adequate safety net so they are not forced into poverty, homelessness or reliance on overstretched charities. The Albanese Government must reject the deliberate scapegoating of migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum, and directly challenge the billionaire-funded misinformation campaign fuelling anti-migrant fear and division. At a time when some politicians are seeking to divide Australians for political gain, our government has a responsibility to bring people together. Australia needs leadership that promotes unity and compassion, defends the dignity of every person and upholds the Australian value of fairness. When governments attack migrants, they are sending a message to everyone in the country - that they have no serious plan to make life better for any of us, and they are looking for distractions. We deserve better from our leaders. Regards, Jana Favero, Deputy CEO, Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.

It was the 25-year celebration show featuring its original instigators, especially its first host Barry Cassidy. Conceived while they were working as overseas media correspondents, it was my choice as the “must-watch” show for its impressive lineup of commentators and guests. It provides highly informed information and predictions from non-aligned journalistic perspectives. While I will be commentating on the view of others, their background views are highly accurate, so they hold considerable value for me when I try to work out what is really going on within our nation. So, what are these insiders predicting for our future and where are we presently at in the political and economic structure of our country? For the last 60 years, Australia has been positioned in the centre of the left or right divide. But, now our centre has been greatly hollowed out due to the fact that the majority political views are now held at the very edges of the left and right. The socialist left and the conservative right now make up close to 80 per cent of our views. However, the ALP and Green alliance is seen as the stable, reliable, but unpopular force, while the conservative right of Liberals and Nationals has offended its followers to the point where they are deserting it in favour of the ultra-right One Nation, with its 20 per cent following. As we are now being governed to favour the edges, it is becoming more difficult to get the necessary support to deliver acceptable outcomes, which is leaving the voting population turned off, frustrated and completely disenfranchised when it comes to solving the cost of living, housing availability, inflation and interest rate issues. The result is a continual decline of our standard of living, which each side of the political divide seems unable to correct. The consensus of the view from the panellists sounds like more of the same after the next federal election. Which suggests to me that we need to consider the real prospect of an economic downturn for the share market, real estate values and our standard of living due to this indecision.

SPACE has always been fertile ground for myths, perhaps because the night sky is so enormous, mysterious and difficult to visit that humans have filled the gaps in our knowledge with stories, guesses and the occasional piece of complete nonsense. Some are harmless fun, while others are so persistent that they deserve a gentle blast of scientific reality. Take the wonderfully ridiculous idea that the Moon is made of cheese. Sorry, Wallace and Gromit, but the evidence is firmly against you because the Moon is a rocky world covered in dust, mountains, valleys and countless impact craters. Its surface has been battered by asteroids and meteoroids for billions of years, while ancient volcanic activity produced the enormous dark plains we call maria. The Moon isn't particularly shiny either, reflecting only about 12 per cent of the sunlight that falls upon it, making it about as reflective as worn asphalt. That beautiful glowing Moon, therefore, isn't a gigantic piece of Camembert beaming back at us; its minerals are simply reflecting sunlight. Then there are shooting stars, another case of misleading terminology because there is no star falling out of the heavens, desperately trying to find somewhere to land. A shooting star is usually a tiny piece of space debris, often no larger than a grain of sand, entering Earth's atmosphere at enormous speed, where friction and compression heat the surrounding gas and create the spectacular streak of light we see. The object itself is called a meteoroid while it is in space and a meteor when it produces that
brilliant streak, while any surviving piece that reaches the ground becomes a meteorite. So, when you see a shooting star, make a wish, but don't ask it to slow down because some meteors can enter the atmosphere at more than 70 kilometres per second, making that one very fast wishdelivery service. Now for one of the most famous myths of all: the Great Wall of China can be seen from space. It sounds plausible and has been repeated for decades, but it isn't true in the way people imagine. Astronauts in low Earth orbit can sometimes photograph portions of the wall under favourable conditions, but it is extremely difficult to distinguish with the naked eye because the wall is simply too narrow and blends into the surrounding landscape. From the Moon, forget it because the wall is far too narrow, and its winding shape doesn't magically turn it into a giant planetary sign saying “Welcome to China.” I remember astronaut Buzz Aldrin telling me that they couldn't see it from the Moon, and at roughly 384,400 kilometres away, even an enormous telescope would have trouble picking out such a relatively thin structure against the Earth's complicated landscape. And finally, we arrive at the flatEarth myth, at which point perhaps it really is time for a Panadol. Earth is demonstrably spherical, and we have mountains of evidence — literally and scientifically — including ships disappearing hullfirst over the horizon, There is also the small matter of time zones because when it
Facts speak louder than a Google search outcome DEAR News Of The Area, DR Dengate suggests that I should go to Google, which would show a correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature (‘Use fossil fuels to build renewable energy economy’, NOTA, 28/8/26). However, facts speak louder than Google. The fact is that world average temperature declined from 1880 to 1910. It again declined from 1940 to 1976, so much so that, at the time, an ice age was being predicted. All the while, atmospheric carbon dioxide continued to increase. If there were a correlation, the temperature should have continued to rise. His claim that "tens of thousands of scientists over the last 50 years" have supported a correlation between average
is lunchtime in Australia, people elsewhere can be asleep in darkness, and on a flat Earth illuminated by the Sun in the ordinary way, explaining that would require some remarkably creative geometry. The universe is full of genuine mysteries, but we don't need invented ones because the real

world temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide is irrelevant. Many scientists over the years have believed many things which were subsequently proved to be incorrect, including that the sun rotated around the earth. Given similar claims regarding what scientists believe and which have subsequently been debunked, it is incumbent on Dr Dengate to provide the names and qualifications of these scientists, including what they actually believe. It could be that they just support the view that carbon dioxide reflects infrared radiation, to which I agree. But I believe the miniscule amount in the atmosphere is insufficient to affect temperature, and the facts seem to support this. Regards, Wayne Duesbury.
story is far more fascinating: a rocky Moon, fiery meteors, a magnificent but difficult-to-see wall, and a spherical Earth hurtling through space. And thankfully, none of them is made of cheese. See Dave’s website www. davidreneke.com

A FREE weekly newspaper launches today in Port Macquarie. Independent media company News Of The Area (NOTA), who operate newspapers across the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions, welcome an eighth community to the fold with the launch of Port Macquarie News Of The Area. NOTA Director Mick Wright is excited to bring a quality, independent printed news source to the Port Macquarie-Hastings region. “We are strong believers in the value of community news; there are lots of incredible stories to be told here,” he said.
“We have been overwhelmed by the response from the community and are very excited about the journey ahead.” The Port Macquarie NOTA will hit news stands across the region each Friday morning, providing locals with a dedicated source of accurate and entertaining local news and sport. “We are going to take what we have learnt from operating our seven existing papers, while making the paper as specific to Port MacquarieHastings as possible,” said NOTA Group Editor Douglas Connor.

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ORIGIN ODYSSEY
NINE, 7.30pm
FRIDAY
SPY/MASTER SBS, 10.40pm
If you’re someone who finds international dramas where everyone speaks English unrealistic, be careful what you wish for. This cinematic Cold War thriller switches organically between English, Romanian, German, Arabic and Russian, depending on who’s speaking. The six-part story follows a rather perilous week in the life of fictional figure Victor Godeanu (Alec Secareanu, above right), the right-hand man to actual Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu (Claudiu Bleont) in 1978. Rightly fearful he’s about to be exposed as a Soviet spy, Victor takes a diplomatic trip to Germany as his chance to defect to the United States.
After last year’s Block saw bold colour-drenched rooms feature prominently, the class of 2026 has been much more sparing when it comes to highimpact hues. Beige, cream and natural tones have ruled supreme, but judge Shaynna Blaze declared during last night’s judging that the design “needs a defibrillator” and halfway through the competition, the teams are finally starting to see the light. This week’s guest suites introduce a green marble benchtop and pink tiling (don’t worry, they’re in separate houses) to the rather pallid palette we’ve seen so far. There’s also plenty of colourful commentary as 2018 contestant Spence Thomson steps in to help Tayla while dad Rick (both above) is recovering in hospital.
SBS, 7.30pm
Knee deep in Scottish stereotypes – from tartan and haggis to bagpipes and deep-fried Mars bars – Shaun Micallef guides comedian Luke McGregor (below right) on a tour of his ancestral homeland. The Hobart-born Rosehaven star admits he doesn’t know much about where his family comes from – and is surprised to learn his great-grandfather’s first name, let alone what he did for a living or why he left for Australia in 1930. After getting “kilted up” in Edinburgh, the travelling companions embark on an immersive journey through McGregor’s family tree. 0409

THE Camden Haven Snapper Classic has been hailed a great success, attracting 90 anglers across 34 teams, despite the event having to be postponed due to unfavourable weather. More than 100 people supported the rescheduled event, with Friday’s improved conditions providing a welcome sight for competitors and organisers. Team The Penguin, comprising Alex Swift and Chris Willcocks, took out the overall team honours, while Carew Dickson landed the competition’s biggest snapper, measuring an impressive 86 centimetres to the fork. Lachie Versluis was named the junior winner, while Suzanne Jack claimed the female angler title. Organisers said retaining 34 teams following the postponement was an incredible result for both the competition and the wider Camden Haven region. “We can’t thank our teams CONTINUED Page 13
