By George CLARKE, AAP Kalyn Ponga has declared there are more chapters to write in Newcastle's revival story as the 2025 wooden spooners aim to upset Penrith to make the grand final. After Sunday's dramacharged 12-10 win over the Warriors in Auckland, Newcastle's Cinderella finals run will extend into another week with Justin Holbrook's set to face Penrith in a preliminary final at Accor Stadium. Fullback Ponga will feature after he passed the head injury assessment which left him watching the dying stages of the

then you don't want to sit in that for too long," Ponga said. "You want to get your mind to the next game, and that's been our strength this year. "I think when it's all said and done, when we're sitting at home in the off season, I'll look back and be pretty proud of this season. "But it's kind of hard right now because we're not done. "All I do know is I'm really proud of this group for the efforts that they've put in throughout the whole year. I don't want to reflect too much just yet." The Knights had the luxury of giving representative forward Dylan Lucas a cameo in the final 20 minutes of the win in

Auckland and his return from injury will be a major boost for a side that has stumbled into September without a handful of big hitters. Newcastle have survived into week three without their first-choice front-row duo of Jacob Saifiti and Trey Mooney and have thrived in attack despite the absence of injured star playmaker Dylan Brown. "The belief sort of comes from the year. You go into these games relying on what you've done throughout the year," Ponga said. "So many times we've had injuries, had to overcome adversity and challenges, and as a playing group, we've handled that pretty well. No doubt it'll be the same next week."

MAYOR Claire Pontin has warned that proposed changes to the distribution of Federal Government Financial Assistance Grants by the NSW Government will force MidCoast Council to look at cutting services to the community. MidCoast Council says it stands to lose $5 million annually from July 2027 and, if the new methodology is adopted by the NSW Grants Commission, Cr Pontin says the implications for the region are clear. “Realistically, it means we will have to look at reducing services or service levels,” she said. “Councils affected by this change, including our own, are already struggling with infrastructure backlogs and continued costshifting from State and Federal governments. “That means less money for our already struggling road network and less money for our community as a whole.” Cr Pontin has been outspoken in her efforts to limit cost-shifting by State and Federal governments. She has also recently urged the Federal Government to increase its

Financial Assistance Grants. "The proposed changes to how the money is distributed in NSW is not equitable." Cr Pontin said. "While some small councils need help, this goes too far and is taking from councils that are already in significant financial need. “MidCoast Council has spent considerable time cutting costs and trying to put this Council in a stronger financial position, but if these changes are made, it will be two steps forward and three steps back. “The money has to come from somewhere, and a loss of that magnitude cannot be absorbed. “Our community should not be asked to carry the consequences of a funding redistribution that fails to properly recognise what it costs to run a regional Council like ours.” Mayor Pontin said the cost of delivering services across a large, dispersed community that is constantly disaster affected is significantly more and needs to be recognised. “We are not opposed to reviewing or

improving the methodology, and we support a system that is simple, transparent, reliable and directed to councils with the greatest relative need." she said. MidCoast Council will prepare a submission to the NSW Grants Commission before the 9 October deadline.

Stephens Council is about to begin a targeted pest control treatment in Medowie and Raymond Terrace. Starting 24 September, a licensed contractor will release the European Rabbit RHDV2 (calicivirus) at specific parks and sporting complexes; the virus is lethal to unvaccinated rabbits, but harmless to humans, dogs, cats, and the native wildlife.

However, some Port Stephens residents question whether the operation will be thorough enough. Lorraine Broadway lives on Lemon Tree Passage Road, where no pest treatment is currently planned. Her garden has been ravaged by wild rabbits. “If we go outside, there are holes everywhere,” Ms Broadway said. “My husband has Parkinson’s. If he went out to the bins and tripped on those holes, he could have a very nasty fall.” The danger of rabbits also extends to other pets. “I can’t take my dog off leash for a walk, because they want to chase the rabbits. “At times I’ve just had to drop the leash because I would have gone over.” News Of The Area has also confirmed several rabbit sightings in the Nelson Bay area. Port Stephens Council has not advised if pest control operations are planned outside Medowie and Raymond Terrace. In the meantime, pet rabbit owners are encouraged to make sure that their pet’s vaccinations are up to date to ensure their safety. More information is available on Port Stephens Council’s website at portstephens. nsw.gov.au/environment/pest-animals.

win over the Warriors from the dressing room. Victory over the Panthers this Sunday would count as the Knights' biggest scalp to date and would cap the club's remarkable turnaround from wooden spooners to grand finalists in the space of 12 months. The Roosters were the last side to finish last (2009) and reach the decider the following year. But captain Ponga claims he has no desire to look back on the Knights' rapid progress under first-year Newcastle coach Holbrook as he believes there are more chapters to write.

Old Bar Beach Festival back for 2026 OLD Bar Beach Festival is an iconic beachside celebration across the October long weekend. It’s part car show, part music festival and all coastal community spirit. Unique to the festival is the largest gathering of VW Kombis in Australia. The display and parade have become so iconic that the festival hosted the launch of Volkswagen Australia’s new electric Kombi: ID Buzz. From simple beginnings in 2005 the festival has grown to attract people from across Australia and the world. The festival program encourages a diverse crowd including Kombi lovers, motor enthusiasts, families, music fans, foodies, holidaymakers and art supporters. It was inducted into the NSW Tourism Hall of Fame in 2011. “Old Bar Beach Festival is one of our region’s signature events and Council is proud to support it,” said Council's Executive Manager of Sustainable Development Rachel Pleasant. “Spendmapp data shows that the festival generates a positive economic impact for Old Bar and the

surrounding area, with visitor spending supporting local accommodation providers, campgrounds, cafés, restaurants and other businesses. “Recent analysis indicates

the festival contributed approximately $3.2 million in local spending. Visitors staying overnight are an important part of that economic contribution.” The event will run from

Friday 2 to Sunday 4 October 2026 at the Old Bar Sporting Fields, Old Bar Road, Old Bar. There will be a Kombi display and parade, live music across the weekend, classic car and bike display, mega

MOTORCYCLISTS on NSW roads are at far greater risk of being killed in a crash than other motor vehicle users, according to the NSW Government’s Towards Zero campaign. Motorcycle fatalities accounted for 20.7 per cent of all road fatalities and nearly 4,500 injuries in 2024 despite motorcycles making up only 3.7 per cent of registered motor vehicles. This year alone, Transport for NSW Road fatalities statistics shows that motorcyclist and pedal cyclist fatalities in NSW stand at 186 males and 60 females for the year to date (January 1 to midSeptember 2026), compared

to 187 males and 53 females during the same period in 2025. October is Motorcycle Awareness Month 2026 and this year’s focus is the everyday behaviours all vehicle users can adopt to help make NSW roads safer. This road safety campaign was officially launched by the Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCCNSW) in Newcastle on Saturday, 19 September. “Motorcycle Awareness Month, held throughout October, is an important opportunity to put motorcycle safety firmly at the forefront of the public agenda,” MCCNSW Chair Stephen Hopper said.

“Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. We all need to adopt behaviours to mitigate this vulnerability. “Drivers and riders share the road, and we all make decisions every day that affect the safety of the people around us. “This year we're focusing on behavioural change, encouraging motorists and riders to adopt small, practical things they can do differently that can reduce risk.” Mr Hopper said the 2026 campaign recognised that simply knowing motorcycles were on the road was not enough. “Awareness matters, but

what really matters is what happens next - whether a driver makes that extra check before turning or changing lanes, or whether a rider thinks carefully about their position, visibility and the space around them. “A head check before changing lanes is a life saver.

You can help make NSW roads safer

NSW throughout October using digital and traditional media, community activities and motorcycle events. “You don't have to ride a motorcycle to be part of Motorcycle Awareness Month. If you use the road, this campaign is for you,” Mr Hopper said. Transport for NSW is a key supporter of Motorcycle Awareness Month 2026.

In December 2020, a partner of a law firm went to see Lorenzo in hospital to take instructions for his Will. The solicitor asked Lorenzo if he would allow her to record their conversation – Lorenzo consented. The recording is 32:05 minutes in duration and was put into evidence. The solicitor then left the hospital room to draft the Will. When returning to the room for Lorenzo to sign the Will, the interaction was again recorded. This video was 15:23 minutes in duration. This recording was also put into evidence. Lorenzo signed the Will. The video of the giving of instructions for, and the making of, the Will were generally supportive of a finding of capacity. Lorenzo is demonstrated to be attentive to what he was being told and able to engage in a discussion with the lawyers about what should be put in his will.

In relation to the manner of distribution of his assets, he proposed the method of division which gave each child two parts and each grandchild one part. He was able to explain the method of division accurately and in a manner that was more straightforward than it was explained to him by the solicitor. He clearly engaged with other significant issues about his estate, making decisions about: (a) the age at which it would be appropriate that the grandchildren access their share; (b) the distribution of Luisa’s share if she predeceased him; and (c) whether to include testamentary trusts.

are working longer hours just to keep their doors open and their staff employed. “This program gives business owners an opportunity to speak with an independent advisor who understands those challenges and can provide practical, tailored advice.

MidCoast Council joins fight against proposed changes to Financial Assistance Grants FROM Page 1 The four councils, who represent the four largest councils by population in the region, warn the proposal would divert more than $33 million away from their communities next year alone. They say that funding is required to meet increasing infrastructure and service demands. The NSW Grants Commission is proposing that the stripped funding be reallocated to other councils whose residents can less afford higher rates. Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Central Coast and MidCoast councils say the proposed methodology shifts funding pressure between councils, when what is needed

most is an overall increase in Local Government funding. For MidCoast Council, one of the largest regional councils in the state, serving a community spread across 10,000 square kilometres and a road network spanning 3,600km, the impact is significant. MidCoast currently receives $23.9 million in Federal Assistance Grants, which will be reduced to $18.9 million under the proposed changes. Facing a projected reduction of $5 million per year, MidCoast’s General Manager Adrian Panuccio says the loss will have a big impact on the region. Over a 10-year period it will equate to a $55 million hole for a community, which

is still reeling from a one in 500-year flood event in May last year. “This is not the type of loss that can be absorbed, we will have to look at reducing services and options for increasing costs. This is the last thing our community needs to be facing,” Mr Panuccio said. “We had almost 4000 properties across our region requiring rebuilding, restoration or repair and numerous public spaces damaged that we still haven’t had any assistance with repairing for our community. “We have an estimated $320 million of damage sustained to our road and bridge network that we are working through.” Mr Panuccio said the

reality of the proposed funding reduction would mean Council would have to consider how key services were delivered, and reduce the level of maintenance and repairs on key community infrastructure. “We are still battling on behalf of our community to attract funding for key projects as a result of the flood, we cannot expect our community to pick up the tab for this as well,” Mr Panuccio said. The four councils support efforts to ensure fair funding outcomes for rural and regional communities but say this should not come at the expense of other communities facing significant growth pressures. Instead, they are advocating for an increase in the overall funding available to local government consistent with motions passed for many

years at the NSW and National Local Government Annual Conferences. In July this year the Australian Federal Government and the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) secured increased untied federal funding to address local council resource pressures. The four councils believe that, until it is known how much additional funding will be provided to the NSW Government for distribution in assistance grants, no redistribution should take place that strips tens of millions of dollars annually from local coastal councils. The proposed methodology by the NSW Grants Commission assumes that residents in Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the Central Coast and MidCoast

can afford to pay more in rates than other councils in the Hunter. The calculations include income the councils have received, including emergency grants used to rebuild after natural disasters, along with levies councils collect on behalf of the NSW Government. In the case of Newcastle, the new methodology even includes the income of Newcastle Airport, despite the Airport being a separate legal entity whose income is entirely invested into airport operations. The four councils are calling on the NSW Government to pause the proposed changes until the Federal Government's commitment to increase Financial Assistance Grant funding has been implemented.

One dead, one critically injured in multi-vehicle crash A FEMALE driver involved in a fatal multivehicle crash on The Bucketts Way on Sunday, 20 September, allegedly tested positive to a roadside breath test at the scene. During the crash, police say a utility pulling a horse float flipped and rolled, crashing into the two motorcycles, one ridden by a man in his 30s and one by a man in his 70s.

The incident occurred around 10:20am near Gunns Gully Road, Booral, about 30km northwest of Nelson Bay. The younger man died at the scene, while the elder suffered serious leg injuries. He was airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition. Officers attached to Port Stephens-Hunter Police District attended and found that a utility

pulling a horse float had flipped and rolled, crashing into two motorcycles. The driver of the utility – an 18-year-old woman – was assessed at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics; however, she did not require further treatment. She was taken to Stroud Police Station for a breath analysis after allegedly testing positive to a roadside breath test at the scene.

The horse in the float was uninjured. Police have established a crime scene and an investigation into the cause of the crash has commenced. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers. com.au. Information is managed on a confidential basis.

Refuge from violence opens By Althea GUINSBERG

THE region now has its first refuge for women and children escaping domestic and family violence. Aunty Colleen’s Place is a purpose-built refuge with six self-contained units offering one to three bedrooms. Each unit includes a kitchen, bathroom, laundry and private outdoor space, as well as an area for pets. One unit is accessible for people with limited mobility. There are also sensory play and recreation areas for children, a fruit and vegetable garden and a separate space where families can meet with support workers. Staff from Port Stephens Family and Neighbourhood Services will provide support to the women and children staying there. Service Manager Sue Pollock said the refuge was something the Port Stephens community had needed for many years. “Many women are forced to stay or return to violent relationships because they do not have anywhere to go,” Ms Pollock said. “This refuge will ensure we can provide women and children with safety as they take their next steps to rebuild, recover and heal.” The refuge was named after Aunty Colleen, a proud Worimi woman who cared deeply for her community and was known for supporting younger generations. “She was proud of her culture, a steadfast advocate for justice, and was passionate about passing on her knowledge and values,” Ms Pollock said. “Aunty Colleen’s Place will be a place of safety, belonging and comfort for women and children to catch their breath and to heal.” Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington

said the refuge had been a long time coming. “Our long-awaited, much-needed refuge means a lot to my community,” Ms Washington said. “We know the difference it will make to women and children who walk through its doors.” The $7.2 million refuge was funded by the NSW Government through its Core and Cluster program and delivered by Hume Community Housing.

A meal with meaning for devastated Nepal By Jacie WHITFIELD A BEAUTIFUL evening, a table full of food and almost 150 people together in Port Stephens last Tuesday became something much bigger – a show of support stretching thousands of kilometres from our community to families devastated by flooding in Nepal. Saltwater Restaurant joined forces with other cafés and restaurants around the Bay to host a buffet dinner for 148 guests, raising approximately $7120 for people affected by the disaster. Guests travelled from Newcastle and Maitland, while locals came from Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay and across Port Stephens to support the fundraiser. Behind the evening was a particularly personal connection. A large number of Nepalese chefs and team members work across local restaurants, while many others from the Nepalese community have made Port Stephens home, working in aged care, childcare and other industries. While none of Saltwater’s chefs had been directly affected by the floods, members of the wider Nepalese community have lost extended family members.

“When we heard what was happening, we felt we couldn't just stand by,” Kiran Chavan said. “We wanted to use our restaurants and our hospitality community to do something practical to help. “For us, it was about bringing people together through food and turning that support into something meaningful for families back in Nepal.” And perhaps there could be no more fitting way for the Nepalese community to do that than through feeding people. That spirit of hospitality

was evident on Tuesday evening, but this time the act of feeding people in Port Stephens was helping to feed, shelter and support people on the other side of the world. The money raised will be donated to the Nepal Prime Minister’s Relief Fund to support relief efforts for people affected by the floods. For families in Nepal, the situation remains devastating. Some have lost loved ones, others are still searching for missing family members, while homes have been destroyed or damaged so badly they are no longer

liveable. But the effects of the disaster have not stopped at Nepal’s borders. For Nepalese people living in Australia, there is the anguish of waiting for news from home, trying to support family from thousands of kilometres away and, for some, facing the difficult decision of whether they can return. Some are attempting to travel home to grieve and support their families, while work, university and other commitments mean others simply cannot leave Australia. Young Nepalese students

who have only recently arrived here may be trying to continue their studies while simultaneously worrying about whether their families are safe and their homes are still standing. “For many Nepalese people, every phone call from home brings anxiety because they don't know whether their family members are safe or whether their homes are still standing,” Kiran said. Against that backdrop, Tuesday night demonstrated the influence a small coastal community can have far beyond its own shores. A meal bought in Port

Stephens became money for relief in Nepal. A local restaurant became a gathering place for two communities. And an evening built around the Nepalese tradition of feeding and caring for guests became an opportunity for those guests to give something back. “We are very grateful to everyone who came, donated and supported the evening,” Kiran said. “The generosity of the Port Stephens community meant a lot to our team especially to the Nepalese community.” q Owners Kiran Chavan and Monica Dhungana, bowing to fundraiser dinner guests while saying “Atithi Devo Bhava” meaning “Treat your guest like God”, with MC Peter North.

Pollies put people first in fight for pool WINGHAM Memorial Swimming Pool will be rebuilt following a rare but successful collaborative campaign involving grassroots community advocates and elected representatives from all levels of government. The pool was irreparably damaged during the May 2025 one-in-500-year flood event and has remained closed since.

The rebuild will now proceed, thanks to $15 million in Federal and State Government funding that has been secured to replace the much-loved community facility. MidCoast Council Mayor Claire Pontin said the funding announcement was a great outcome for Wingham following 16 months of strong advocacy. “This is fantastic news for

A MAN died at Saltwater Beach on Sunday, 20 September after being pulled from the water. About 1.45pm emergency services were called to Saltwater, about 18km south east of Taree, following reports three people were in trouble in the water. Officers attached to Manning/Great Lakes Police District attended, alongside

Surf Lifesavers. Three men – all aged in their 20s – were removed from the water. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated all three men, however, one could not be revived. The other two men were taken to Manning Base Hospital for treatment. Police have commenced an investigation into the incident, and a report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

Wingham and for everyone who has worked so hard to see this much needed community facility returned,” Cr Pontin said. “Council has been chasing funding to replace the pool, because like so much of the damage sustained to our public spaces during the May 2025 flood, this is beyond our capability to fund independently. “Securing $15 million in Federal and State Government funding means we can now move forward with returning this important facility to the Wingham community.” Mayor Pontin paid particular tribute to the NSW Minister for Recovery Janelle Saffin for her continued support and efforts to secure funding for the pool replacement. “I’d like to thank Minister Saffin for her perseverance to this project, which resulted in securing the State funds, and her efforts in seeking the matching payment from the Federal

Government. “The community has made it very clear how much the Wingham pool means to them and I thank everyone who has helped advocate for its return,” Cr Pontin said. “I’d also like to thank Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for matching the State funding and acknowledge our local members, the Federal Member for Lyne Alison Penfold and State Member for Myall Lakes Tanya Thompson for their continued support.” A sense of cohesion and teamwork also shone through in comments from the Federal Member for Lyne, Alison Penfold MP, who has spoken about the pool in Federal Parliament. “While we may not always agree on policy, today is a very good example of members of Parliament working across political lines and across different levels of government to support a community in need,” Ms Penfold said.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Ms Penfold commended Wingham residents’ vital role in achieving the desired outcome. “For 16 months, the people of Wingham have refused to accept that their pool should be lost because of a natural disaster,” Ms Penfold said. “They signed petitions, attended meetings, wrote letters, made phone calls and kept speaking up. “Almost 3,800 people signed the community petition calling for the pool to be rebuilt. “That determination has delivered today’s announcement.” Mayor Pontin reflected on the fact that recovery from a natural disaster could not be limited to repairing roads and bridges. “It must also restore the places that hold communities together and give people hope,” Cr Pontin said. “This is the Wingham community’s victory. Wingham is getting its pool back.”

Cr Pontin called out the stellar efforts of certain campaigners. “It is also important to acknowledge the members of the Wingham community, including Friends of Wingham Pool and Wingham Swimming Club, who got behind the efforts to secure this funding,” Cr Pontin said. The replacement pool will be constructed at the existing site, retaining the facility close to the Wingham town centre. Council staff have already been working on tender documents, and as soon as the final funding details are provided and a funding deed is received, tenders will be called for the design of the pool. A tender for construction will follow in 2027. “There are still a number of steps to go through and a lot of work to do before the Wingham community has a new pool to swim in, but the end result will be a facility that will last for generations,” Cr Pontin said.

Stinker's Stories

By John 'Stinker' CLARKE

Aboriginal contribution to oyster-farming must never be underestimated By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE IT was a hot westerly wind that fanned a raging bushfire that swept towards the houses on the waterfront at Swan Bay in 1965. The residents of the small community battled the extreme heat as best they could, however, with limited supplies of tank water, it was feared that all would be lost. Exhausted and out of water, it seemed that the battle to save their homes was over. Just when it appeared that the fire would claim the community, a launch motored around the point and into the bay.

The work boat was crowded with a full crew of Aboriginal workers from Phillips’ oyster sheds. Carrying buckets, the men leapt into the mud at low tide and waded ashore. They proceeded to fill their buckets with water and race to the back of the houses. Time and time again the buckets were filled and finally the fire was under control and the houses were saved. Expecting no praise for their efforts, the crew clambered back onto the launch and returned to their oyster shed. This incident simply highlighted the value of the Aboriginal people to the oyster industry, particularly to the harbour, west of Soldiers Point. It is well acknowledged that,

without their participation, the industry would not have expanded and developed in the way that it did. Highly respected by all, the Aboriginal involvement and contribution must never be underestimated. Their total contribution, work skills and their very nature led many in the oyster business to conclude that the industry would have struggled, some say floundered, but for the efforts of these proud Aboriginal families. I spoke to many Worimi people and it was obvious to me that these people were very dignified, proud of their achievements and particularly proud of their culture. Neville Lilley and John Ridgeway were two of those persons.

Bream are easy to catch but hard to eat By John ‘Stinker’ CLAKRE

RECREATIONAL fishing is a funny game. It has evolved since my early days on the Tweed River into a monster industry that caters for all expectations. Fishing for me was such a simple thing. Time to go was when it was time for a feed. The extended family all lived under the one roof and all could catch fish. My mother and grandmother could match it with the best. When the decision was made to go fishing, the main

target fish were generally bream and flathead in the river, or tailor off the beach. During the summer months, whiting were the preferred fish. The men all had cane rods and Alvey reels, the women chose handlines on corks or bottles. Dark moonless nights on the top of the tide guaranteed bream. Mullet gut on a 2/0 French hook and a pea sinker did the trick. To attract the fish, a prune tin was filled with mullet scraps and half a brick before

the lid was hammered down. Wire was tied to the tin before it was under-armed into the water – a “Stinker” berley pot. The bream went crackers. With no bag limits (that we were aware of), we filled the bag into the night. Around a long wooden table, the family eagerly awaited the tray of bream, which had sizzled in the hot oil on the old wood stove. Pepper and salt, a few lemons and a pile of sliced dry bread were essential items to accompany the meal.

A shake of the salt, a squeeze of the lemon and you were in business. The reason for the dry bread soon became evident as family members began grabbing their throats and choking on the bones. Quickly swallowing the bread cleared the digestive tract and feasting could continue. This was all part of the bream eating experience.

OPINION

NSW Govt must stop attacking recreational fishing DEAR News Of The Area,

THE NSW Government’s proposed changes to bag limits for snapper and yellowtail kingfish should concern every recreational fisher in this state. Once again, recreational fishers appear to be the easiest target when the Government wants to be seen to be doing something about fish stocks. But where is the evidence that simply cutting bag limits will deliver the outcomes being claimed? There is an even bigger question the Government needs to answer: are our current legal size limits actually allowing these fish to reach breeding size before they can legally be taken? The current NSW minimum legal length for snapper is just 30cm. Yet NSW Fisheries’ own stock assessment states that snapper reach maturity at around 26cm in northern NSW and 32cm in southern NSW. That means the legal size in southern NSW can actually

8 MYALL COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

be below the size at which 50 per cent of snapper have reached maturity. (NSW Department of Primary Industries). The situation with yellowtail kingfish is even more concerning. The current minimum legal length is 65cm, while NSW Fisheries research estimates that 50 per cent of female kingfish reach maturity at approximately 83cm fork length. Kingfish can legally be removed from the fishery well before a significant proportion of females have reached maturity. (NSW Department of Primary Industries). NSW Fisheries itself says minimum size limits are a management tool designed to ensure that most fish have the opportunity to grow to breeding size and spawn at least once before being caught. (NSW Department of Primary Industries). So before the Government reaches for another bag-limit reduction on recreational fishers, perhaps it should explain why the existing management settings allow fish

to be legally harvested before many have even had the opportunity to breed. This raises serious questions about whether the Government is actually managing the resource properly or simply continuing to place restrictions on recreational fishers because they are an easy political target. Recreational fishers are not the enemy of our fisheries. They are among the biggest stakeholders in NSW’s marine environment and contribute enormously to coastal communities through spending on boats, fuel, tackle, bait, accommodation, tourism and local businesses. They also pay a recreational fishing fee that is supposed to support recreational fishing and fisheries management. If fish stocks are genuinely under pressure, then the Government should provide the public with the full science behind its decisions, identify all sources of fishing mortality, and demonstrate that

www.newsofthearea.com.au

every sector is being treated fairly. Simply reducing the recreational bag limit does not address the fundamental question of whether the fishery is being managed for maximum sustainability. We need a fisheries department that understands the biology of these species, listens to the people who spend their weekends on the water, and manages fish stocks based on sound science rather than political convenience. Recreational fishers are willing to support sensible, evidence-based conservation measures. What they will not accept is being continually singled out while fundamental questions about fisheries management remain unanswered. Stop attacking recreational fishing. Start managing the resource properly. Regards, Troy Radford.

DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK

21-27 September 2026

It’s time to talk about dementia DURING Dementia Action Week, organisers and health professionals are keen to bust one of the biggest fallacies - that memory loss is simply a part of getting older. The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) president Dr Rod Martin says people should not wait until they are certain something is wrong before seeking advice. “Changes in memory or thinking can be confronting, and it can be tempting to put them down to getting older or avoid talking about them altogether,” Dr Martin says. “But dementia is not a normal part of ageing, and there can be many reasons why someone's memory, thinking or behaviour changes. “If you've noticed something that concerns you — in yourself, your partner, a parent or someone else you care about — talk to your doctor. Dementia is Australia’s leading cause of death, but it is not a topic that everyone feels comfortable talking about. During Dementia Action Week 2026, which runs from Monday, September 21 to Sunday, September 27, the goal is to start conversations, raise understanding of the illness, reduce the stigma, and help people find the care and support that is available. With close to half a million Australians living with dementia and an estimated 1,700,000 people involved in dementia care, dementia touches most of our lives in some way. Dementia Australia Advocate Gina Callan, who lives with dementia, says conversations about dementia don’t have to be grounded in expertise to be meaningful and valuable. “Curiosity encourages conversations,” Gina said. “Asking questions, listening and being open to different experiences can help build understanding and reduces the stigma that surrounds dementia.

"Spending time with people who live with dementia can help others understand what we want them to know and can help answer the questions they might be too afraid to ask directly." Dementia is a collection of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain. It’s not one specific disease and it’s much more common after the age of 65. The effects of dementia vary from person to person but generally affect people’s mood, memory, thinking and behaviour. Hereditary dementia is rare but does occur, depending on the cause of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is one medical condition that causes dementia symptoms and one in three people who experience Alzheimer’s have a parent or sibling who received a diagnosis. But, in reality, it can happen to anyone. This year's Dementia Action Week theme, “It's time

to talk about dementia,” has particular relevance for rural and remote communities, where access to specialist dementia services can be more difficult. “Seeing your doctor doesn't mean you have dementia,” Dr Martin says. “It means starting a conversation about what's changed and working out what needs to happen next. “And if dementia is diagnosed, your local doctor can continue to be there for you and your family throughout the journey." YouGov research, commissioned by Dementia Australia, found that more than half of respondents report having little to no knowledge about dementia, and, while close to all respondents are aware of dementia, only one in 10 say they know a lot about it. “The research also found that eight in 10 respondents who had a personal connection to dementia say that they or someone they know has experienced

stigma, exclusion, disrespect or unequal treatment; including assumptions being made about what someone can or cannot do, or being left out of social activities,” said Dementia Australia Chief Executive Officer Professor Tanya Buchanan. “Through conversations, such as those we’re asking you to have this Dementia Action Week, we can work to dismantle this stigma and instead create a more welcoming and inclusive dementia-friendly Australia.” This week, Dementia

Australia is asking everyone to join the conversation. Everyone has a voice and a role to play, and every conversation will make a difference to people living with dementia, their families and carers. Dementia Action Week 2026 runs from 21 – 27 September. World Alzheimer’s Day is on 21 September.

On the Couch

PEOPLE with dogs often treat them like small humans but there are a number of issues with letting dogs lick the leftovers from dishes.

Perhaps you could reframe the problem by suggesting that you are worried about the potential health risks for the dog. There are numerous human foods that are problematic for dogs including avocado, chocolate, grapes, macadamia nuts and onion. Foods with too much salt are also an issue, so the safest bet is to feed the dog good quality pet food that contains all the essential vitamins and minerals in their own bowl. A further issue is that a dog that gets to lick human dishes will tend to hover around the dinner table waiting for this special post-meal treat. This encourages antisocial behaviour and can make guests feel exceedingly uncomfortable. Something along the lines of, 'Roger is a beautiful Doberman, but I feel a bit violated when his nose is resting in my crotch while he waits for leftovers,' may do the trick, even with the most ignorant pet owners. There is also, as you state, the

issue of hygiene. Now I don't know about your friend's dog, but just this week I have watched my own dog dig up and chew on a month-old bone, lick my other dog's ears, lick his own - how do I say this politely? - nether regions, devour a used tissue, and treat the kitty litter tray in the laundry like an all-you-caneat buffet (promptly vomiting and then eating that too). Now that is not a tongue that I would like to come in contact with my dinner plate, even if it was followed by the 'sanitise cycle' on the dishwasher. Perhaps, if this behaviour continues, you could bring your own plate as a not-so-subtle indication of your unwillingness to accept this behaviour. I don't think there is any sensitive way to broach the subject, and whatever you try will no doubt insult your friend in much the same way that her behaviour has offended you.

when held in super. These became a cash flow bonanza for the fund and its beneficiary. Superannuation is all about saving income during your working life in order to provide for greater income opportunity when retired. It also saves the government from needing to provide pensions for those who save during their working life, plus offers tax relief as an incentive to attract you into super. The trick with super has always been the need to remain alive until you reach the required age where you can retire and enjoy a tax-

effective income in your remaining years. The other side of super is the argument that these savings are your money and there are people who have specific needs for their money earlier than retirement. They may need to buy their first home, for example, or encounter medical issues that need immediate and substantial financial expenditure. I’m not taking sides in this debate as that will probably be decided at the next federal election and, of course, the desirability of having your super in place to grow until retirement needs to be

matched against other needs that may be of immediate benefit to that particular super investor. The one area not being discussed is that of the tax benefits that super savers have received while the protective treatment of super is in place. Should those needing to cash in their super early then be required to refund their tax savings to the government, who will be required to pay that person a pension at their eventual retirement? No easy answers in this debate.

Although Starship has achieved major milestones, it still needs to prove orbital refuelling—a vital technology for carrying massive cargo loads on long journeys to the Moon and Mars. Once that happens, Musk hopes launches could eventually take place every few days. The Moon offers another important advantage. If something goes wrong, replacement equipment or rescue crews can arrive within days instead of months. Many of the technologies developed there—including habitat construction, water extraction, power generation and life-support systems—will also be needed on Mars. Much of this work is expected to

be carried out by Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots. Unlike people, they need no food, water or oxygen. Powered mainly by solar energy, they can work day and night in dangerous environments without risking human lives. Creating a permanent settlement will still be enormously difficult. Future colonists will need reliable supplies of electricity, oxygen, water and fuel, along with habitats that protect them from harmful space radiation. Scientists believe frozen water lies beneath the Martian surface, while oxygen and rocket fuel could be produced using local resources. Even after these technical problems are solved, life on Mars

will be far from glamorous. Johnson says it would be exciting but also demanding, with settlers spending most of their time inside enclosed habitats while the harsh Martian landscape waits just beyond the airlock. Whether Musk's ambitious timetable succeeds remains to be seen. But thanks to reusable rockets, rapidly advancing robotics, artificial intelligence and expanding satellite networks, humanity's first permanent homes beyond Earth are beginning to look less like science fiction and more like the next great engineering challenge.

DEAR Jasminda, MY friend lets her dog 'prewash' the dinner plates and dessert bowls by licking up any leftovers before she puts them in the dishwasher. As much as I love going there for dinner, I am disgusted by this unhygienic act. How do I sensitively raise this issue?

Stargazing

Robots will be first to colonise the moon ELON Musk has built a career on chasing ideas many people once thought impossible. Now the SpaceX founder has revealed perhaps his boldest dream yet: creating permanent human settlements on the Moon and, eventually, Mars. The first steps could begin before the end of 2026. But instead of astronauts leading the way, Musk wants fleets of intelligent humanoid robots to go first. Their job will be to unload cargo, build habitats, install power systems and prepare everything needed for people to live safely in space before the first settlers arrive. In recent months, Musk has shifted more attention toward the Moon as the ideal starting point. At just three days from Earth, it is far easier and safer to reach

months is too early to offer policies for scrutiny, but the Government seems to be desperate to change direction away from its present economic malaise. Surprisingly they have chosen superannuation as their fighting point, a policy that lost Bill Shorten an election in which the outsider Scott Morrison gained the win. This was due to present Treasurer Dr Jim Chalmers’ attack on the assets of the retired community, plus everyone else who was saving for super. The argument for change is interesting, given the fact that former ALP PM Paul Keating set up a really successful scheme, which included retaining Franking Credits on investment income than Mars, which lies around six months away. Engineers can test new technologies, solve problems and learn how to build off-world communities much closer to home. Musk believes a permanent lunar settlement could become reality within the next decade. Mars would follow later, with cargo missions beginning within seven years and self-sustaining cities potentially appearing sometime between 2045 and 2055. A project of this scale needs far more than rockets. It also requires a communications network capable of linking Earth, the Moon and Mars. SpaceX has proposed building an enormous constellation of about 100,000 satellites to provide high-speed communications while supplying the computing power future artificial intelligence systems will need. Space engineer Jim Cantrell believes this satellite network is the key to the entire plan. Rather than carrying powerful computers inside every robot, most of the heavy processing could take place remotely through the satellite system, allowing the robots to work together far more efficiently. SpaceX continues expanding its Starlink satellite network, however Musk says an even larger spacecraft than Starship may eventually be required to transport the huge amounts of machinery needed to build entire settlements. Transporting all that equipment remains one of the greatest challenges.

ORIGINAL GANGSTERS WITH SEAN BEAN SBS2, 8.30pm

When Sean Bean (pictured) appears on-screen, mortal peril usually isn’t far behind. The iconic British actor has at least 25 deaths to his name across ﬁlm and television. Rest assured, Bean remains safe and sound throughout this four-part documentary exploring history’s greatest gangsters. Blending reenactments with exclusive interviews and some of the most notorious true-crime stories of all time, the series uncovers new details about Al Capone, the Peaky Blinders and more. This week, groundbreaking Harlem racketeer Stephanie St. Clair is in focus.

From food-loving farmers to bold bogan besties and a seriously chic creative couple, this 16th season of MKR has it all. Showcasing the country’s funny, friendly and feisty home cooks, this year’s competition focuses on real people and the dishes they love to serve. It begins in the Gold Coast hinterland, where wholesome mother-daughter team Krysten and Lucy (pictured) are ready to impress with their instant restaurant, Puggles – named for the baby platypuses that live in their nearby creek. While their beef tartare entrée and paella main aim to set the bar high, the proof will be in the pudding when self-taught baker Lucy serves her signature mangococonut croissant puff sweet rice dessert.

School’s out for the real students right now, but class is just getting started for six of Australia’s cheekiest comedians. In a new competition show ﬁlmed on location at an actual Sydney school, Matt Okine, Becky Lucas, Dave Hughes, Nina Oyama, Luke McGregor and Bron Lewis pair up to take on a variety of challenges and assessments related to school subjects. Principal Julia Morris (pictured) is in charge of dishing out points and punishments. As with Taskmasters, the same contestants stick around all season, so expect friendly rivalries to develop. 2509

Thompson, a talented young local swimmer who is striving to get to the School Sport Australia National Swimming Championships in Melbourne this November and has the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games in her sights. Kayleigh along with her biggest fan and mum, Lauren, enjoyed the days’

festivities as did the couple of hundred attendees. The day attracted players, families and spectators from as far afield as Karuah, Bulahdelah and Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest and included fun games for all ages, including adults and 50+ Walking Footballers. The day’s score tallies

were posted on a score board for everyone to keep an eye on which town won what game and, of course, the ongoing combined scoreline. At the end of the day, Karuah and Bulahdelah placed equal first with Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest a very close second, meaning that the recently rediscovered

original Perpetual Town of Origin Shield, first awarded in 1993, was awarded to the players from the two winning towns to share over the next 12 months. Walking football’s Twilight Season will kick off at 5pm on Wednesday, 7 October.

Thursday, 24 September 2026 By Shayne REYNOLDS LAST Saturday was a sensational celebration of the 2026 season with the Tea Gardens Soccer Club grand finals played and the club’s presentation awards ceremony following the final whistle. The jumping castles, face painters and balloon artists had a break while we took some time to present every registered player with their trophies and awards. Congratulations to all of our players for their efforts all season and a special mention to: Bodhi McGrath - Tiny Champion on the minis field award. Hugo Barker - Midi Champion on the field award. William Hood - Best and Fairest award.
