BATTLE FOR BENNELONG<br />

By-Election Saturday December 16,2017<br />

10 Days to Go!<br />

WIN! with TWT!<br />

Campaign heats up!<br />

BY TWT ON-THE-SPOT TEAM<br />

Electioneering is reaching fever pitch in the Bennelong<br />

by-election campaign with just ten days to<br />

go to election day on Saturday week.<br />

Tempers have become frayed in some parts with an altercation<br />

occurring at the Epping pre-poll voting booth between<br />

Greens and Australian Conservatives supporters. Liberal<br />

and Labor volunteers assisted as peace keepers.<br />

Both Liberal and Labor parties have brought out their big<br />

guns daily to campaign for their respective candidates sitting<br />

MP John Alexander OAM and former NSW premier Kristina<br />

Keneally.<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

I agree wholeheartedly<br />

with comments<br />

made by E Martin of<br />

West Ryde (TWT letters<br />

November 29) of<br />

the opportunistic return<br />

of “I am nobody’s<br />

girl” Kristina Keneally<br />

who criticises liberal<br />

policies but forgets<br />

that she was the head<br />

of NSW government<br />

when some cabinet<br />

members used their<br />

authority to “rip off”<br />

the state.<br />

vailed<br />

and now they are<br />

<br />

prisons.<br />

Her leadership quali-<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

be even a councillor<br />

in any council in this<br />

state.<br />

On a recent cam-<br />

<br />

was confronted by a<br />

local lady in front of<br />

TV cameras and other<br />

media journos in Eastwood.<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

In what might sound<br />

surprising to some, it<br />

was with great delight<br />

that today I received a<br />

reminder from NRMA<br />

Insurance to renew my<br />

car’s compulsory third<br />

party (CTP) green slip.<br />

<br />

<br />

exponentially and are<br />

beyond exorbitant.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

as I do on comprehensive<br />

insurance.<br />

This is why I was so<br />

<br />

saw that as a result of<br />

recent NSW Government<br />

reforms handed<br />

down by our very<br />

nance<br />

Minister Victor<br />

<br />

slip cost had been<br />

slashed from around<br />

THE END-product always<br />

amazes me when<br />

a group of people collaborate<br />

and commit to<br />

something.<br />

Earlier in the year I attended<br />

a book launched by<br />

a group of diverse people<br />

who met regularly as part of<br />

a writing group.<br />

This anthology is a gift to<br />

all readers.<br />

It has stories within a story<br />

of its own.<br />

The book is called Pieces<br />

of North Shore. I enjoyed<br />

<br />

a relaxing colourful read.<br />

The last chapter called<br />

‘These aren’t conversations<br />

I have’ left a smile on my<br />

face.<br />

It was written by Maria<br />

Atwell and is an analogy<br />

comparing a working-class<br />

Melbourne suburb to the<br />

North Shore niceness until<br />

the niceness is shattered by<br />

an encounter with Maria.<br />

* * *<br />

THE FIRST author wrote<br />

from a house’s point of<br />

view.<br />

Every house has a story.<br />

This house was perched<br />

on sandstone looking<br />

north-east towards Gardigal<br />

National Park.<br />

The house tells the story<br />

of the family. A late 20th to<br />

early 21st century window<br />

into the life of a Sydney<br />

North Shore family.<br />

The launch of the book<br />

was at the Stanton Library<br />

ting<br />

to launch the book in<br />

the library’s conference<br />

room, a beautiful room.<br />

The semi-circular windows<br />

captured both the<br />

light and the rosellas dancing<br />

in the maple treetops on<br />

that Sunday afternoon.<br />

To The POINT<br />

With<br />

LYNDA MITCHELL<br />

Cheryl Szatow, a former<br />

Kuring-gai mayor (2015-<br />

2016), launched the book<br />

which contains thirteen<br />

original pieces by seven<br />

writers. Each of the writers<br />

wrote about their various<br />

experiences of living in Sydney’s<br />

North Shore.<br />

The writers read aloud extracts<br />

of their stories, which<br />

convinced me to purchase<br />

it.<br />

Sue Little, one of the writers,<br />

spoke about how the<br />

<br />

of years getting to know<br />

each other before they<br />

wrote the book together.<br />

An overview of some of<br />

the pieces follow.<br />

* * *<br />

ANNIE MIRZA’s piece is<br />

about a teenager overcoming<br />

obesity due to kindness<br />

of a resident protector who<br />

intervened and busted bullies<br />

trying to pick a street<br />

<br />

Don’t Call Me Shirley tells<br />

how boarding at Riverview<br />

introduced David McFadden<br />

to living in the North<br />

Shore.<br />

He explores and shares<br />

his experience of life in different<br />

parts and tells how<br />

he returned to settle in the<br />

North Shore.<br />

Another piece is about<br />

crossing the bridge to the<br />

promised land and sharing<br />

<br />

ing<br />

various Sydney suburbs.<br />

Rosana Wayand found<br />

this fascinating when applying<br />

for a North Shore rental.<br />

One must be brave to<br />

head for the promised land!<br />

Michael Yee’s Borderlands<br />

is a conversational<br />

piece that lets you listen in<br />

to North Shore teenager’s<br />

private conversations.<br />

The conversations in-<br />

<br />

school divides.<br />

<br />

dinner in Lane Cove leaves<br />

a smile on your modern<br />

face.<br />

I would recommend this<br />

book to anyone interested<br />

in the diversity of Sydney<br />

life or to anyone who enjoys<br />

curling up with a book on a<br />

rainy afternoon.<br />

* * *<br />

THE WRITERS signed<br />

books and afternoon tea<br />

was enjoyed - completing<br />

the launch.<br />

Bennelong Barney: Greens hit<br />

pavement, Conservatives vent<br />

Greens Bennelong by-election candidate, Justin<br />

Alick, has called on Australian Conservatives<br />

leader Cory Bernardi to reject violence after<br />

tensions spilled over during pre-poll campaigning<br />

in Epping.<br />

Mr Bernardi dismissed the<br />

incident - involving one of<br />

his party’s volunteers and<br />

another from the Greens -<br />

as a “stunt” and said had<br />

been told one of his “elderly”<br />

supporters had been “physically<br />

intimidated” and at one<br />

point, jostled.<br />

He said the Greens volunteer<br />

“took a dive” and “was<br />

said to be quite distressed.”<br />

“It was immediately reported<br />

to the electoral com-<br />

<br />

(the) Liberals. This is unfor-<br />

tunately the sort of extreme<br />

tactics taken,” Mr Bernardi<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Alick rejected the<br />

South Australian senator’s<br />

version of events and that<br />

it was the Greens volunteer<br />

that was pushed over by a<br />

Conservatives volunteer.<br />

“Footage of this incident<br />

has been circulated by the<br />

media and on social media,”<br />

he told The Weekly Times.<br />

“Fortunately, our volunteer<br />

wasn’t seriously hurt and we<br />

are respect his privacy and<br />

wish that he not to be placed<br />

in the national spotlight because<br />

of this incident.<br />

“There is no place for violence<br />

in Australian democracy,<br />

and peace and nonviolence<br />

is one of the Greens<br />

four founding principles.”<br />

Mr Alick called on Mr Ber-<br />

nardi to also publicly reject<br />

violence - or the threat of<br />

violence - at polling booths.<br />

“This is an important election,<br />

but the safety of the<br />

voting public, and any volunteers,<br />

is far more important,”<br />

he said.<br />

Amid claim and counter-<br />

<br />

stone in last week’s non-lifethreatening<br />

incident, two key<br />

facts have emerged.<br />

An elderly Greens volunteer<br />

ended up on his back<br />

on a concrete footpath and<br />

an Australian Conservatives<br />

volunteer vented his frustration<br />

in an anti-Greens tirade<br />

immediately after the incident.<br />

“The Greens are destructive<br />

and a fascist organisation,”<br />

the AC volunteer shouted to-<br />

<br />

his mobile phone.<br />

“Don’t vote for him (Mr<br />

Alick) please. This guy<br />

physically abused me this<br />

morning. This guy put his elbow<br />

on me. He pushed me<br />

against the wall - I’ve got witnesses.”<br />

With limited pedestrian<br />

real estate adjacent Beecroft<br />

Road near the entrance<br />

to Epping’s polling booth<br />

for early by-election voters,<br />

tempers among the large<br />

contingent of volunteers<br />

packed into the area were<br />

destined to fray.<br />

“There’s lots of volunteers<br />

down at pre-poll,” Mr Alick<br />

said.<br />

“But if you’re at a crowded<br />

pub and someone bumps<br />

into you, you can respond<br />

calmly or you can resort to<br />

violence.<br />

“It’s unfortunate that in this<br />

instance, the Bernardi supporter<br />

chose the latter.”<br />

Mr Alick said one high-<br />

per<br />

columnist and Bernardi<br />

supporter had even taken<br />

to social media to claim a<br />

91-year-old Liberal Party<br />

volunteer had been pushed<br />

over by a Greens volunteer in<br />

the same incident.<br />

“This is false. It’s my understanding<br />

the Liberal vol-<br />

<br />

exhaustion and collapsed in<br />

a separate incident,” he said.<br />

BATTLE FOR BENNELONG<br />

By-Election Saturday December 16,2017<br />

Keneally campaigns<br />

on schools funding<br />

Labor’s star candidate in the Bennelong by-election, Kristina Keneally, has continued to campaign<br />

on restoring schools funding in both the public and Catholic sector.<br />

Last week, Ms Keneally<br />

launched a NSW Teachers<br />

Federation mobile billboard<br />

being used as part of its<br />

campaign opposing cuts<br />

of more than $11 million to<br />

schools in the Bennelong<br />

electorate by the Federal<br />

Department of Education.<br />

She has also written to the<br />

local Catholic Diocese to re-<br />

store<br />

every dollar of the $17<br />

billion Malcolm Turnbull has<br />

cut from schools “including<br />

funding unfairly ripped from<br />

local Catholic schools”.<br />

“Every child should have<br />

access to the best education<br />

- no matter where their<br />

parents choose to send<br />

them,” Ms Keneally said.<br />

tack<br />

on Catholic schools is<br />

proach<br />

to services - they cut<br />

services. Labor invests in<br />

services.<br />

ADVERTISEMENT<br />

“Catholic schools play a<br />

vital role in providing a quality<br />

education to children from<br />

all kinds of backgrounds.<br />

They deserve to fairly and<br />

equitably funded.”<br />

Malcolm Turnbull does not<br />

<br />

he had “ripped funding from<br />

Catholic schools across the<br />

country, including here in<br />

Bennelong”.<br />

<br />

funding torn from local<br />

schools and for a fair funding<br />

model based on need,”<br />

she said.<br />

But Education Minister,<br />

Simon Birmingham, said the<br />

<br />

<br />

Federation were a desperate<br />

attempt to push for an<br />

unfunded Labor promise<br />

clearly rejected four years<br />

ago.<br />

“Students across Bennelong<br />

are set for an average<br />

boost of around $2,125<br />

each under the Turnbull<br />

ing<br />

plan,” he said.<br />

“There are no cuts. If the<br />

<br />

thinks an extra $19.7 million<br />

for Bennelong schools over<br />

the next decade is a “cut”,<br />

then they clearly need to go<br />

back to school.”<br />

NSW Teachers Federation<br />

President Maurie Mulheron<br />

said the by-election was<br />

an important opportunity to<br />

hold Mr Turnbull to account<br />

for deep cuts in funding for<br />

local schools.<br />

<br />

across the electorate of<br />

Bennelong,” he said.1<br />

“Malcolm Turnbull has<br />

slashed education funding<br />

here and Liberal candidate<br />

John Alexander has supported<br />

him all the way.”<br />

Meanwhile, Catholic<br />

Schools NSW chief executive,<br />

Dallas McInerney, has<br />

<br />

Catholic schools asking all<br />

candidates how they will address<br />

funding shortfalls.<br />

<br />

for responses to three key<br />

questions was today.<br />

“In Bennelong, all 11 Catholic<br />

systemic schools will be<br />

denied the 10-year transition<br />

afforded to independent<br />

stand-alone schools,”<br />

he wrotes.<br />

“Catholic schools in Bennelong<br />

will be $9.8 million<br />

worse off in 2018 and<br />

$52.3m worse off over the<br />

decade to 2027.”<br />

The responses from candidates<br />

will be provided to<br />

<br />

Catholic school students to<br />

help inform their vote on the<br />

December 16 by-election.<br />

Liberal candidate in the Bennelong by-election John Alexander and<br />

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop - preferred as PM over Malcolm Turnbull<br />

according to the latest poll - team up as baristas on the campaign trail at<br />

Coffee Stop in Epping. TWT on the-spot PHOTO<br />

Religious freedom and family values<br />

top the Christian Democrats policies<br />

The Christian Democrats hope voters will consider religious freedom,<br />

grassroots democracy, local government rights and traditional marriage<br />

when they go to the polls on Saturday, December 16.<br />

Christian Democrats State<br />

Director Craig Hall told The<br />

Weekly Times that a vote for<br />

candidate Gui Dong (William)<br />

Cao is also vote for traditional<br />

family values.<br />

“Top of our list is freedom of<br />

religion, freedom of speech,<br />

traditional marriage and other<br />

traditional family values,” Mr<br />

Hall said.<br />

“Central to our philosophy is<br />

local democracy and we hope<br />

voters will recall how Reverend<br />

Fred Nile MLC stood by<br />

voters in Ryde and Hunters<br />

Advertisement<br />

<br />

council amalgamations.<br />

“This is central to our belief<br />

because we are a grassroots<br />

political party and Christianity<br />

itself started as a grassroots<br />

faith.”<br />

An important part of the<br />

Christian Democrats philosophy<br />

is support for older and<br />

retired people.<br />

<br />

to lower energy bills in Bennelong<br />

OPPOSITION leader Bill<br />

Shorten has responded<br />

to a recent article in The<br />

Weekly Times about residents<br />

struggling to pay<br />

higher power bills and<br />

vowed to take action to<br />

lower them.<br />

Mr Shorten made his<br />

promise in West Ryde last<br />

week at a campaign stop<br />

for Bennelong’s Labor candidate<br />

Kristina Keneally.<br />

The Weekly Times revealed<br />

how many residents<br />

were paying up to 30 per<br />

cent in electricty bills with<br />

some homes paying more<br />

than $700 per quarter.<br />

Mr Shorten described<br />

Bennelong as “ground<br />

zero” for struggling residents.<br />

“We are determined to<br />

see the people of Bennelong<br />

paying lower energy<br />

prices,” Mr Shorten said.<br />

“We will start by ensuring<br />

that Australian gas is sold<br />

<br />

China.<br />

“We will also lower ener-<br />

gy prices by encouring investment<br />

and competition<br />

in the energy market and<br />

we will not get this until the<br />

rules are clear.<br />

“We need to reform the<br />

energy market and we are<br />

committed to reform.”<br />

Mr Shorten said more<br />

competition through alternative<br />

energy sources<br />

would also lower bills.<br />

Ms Kenneally said Bennelong<br />

is an electorate<br />

with higher than average<br />

rents and lower than aver-<br />

age renter’s incomes and<br />

the last thing constituents<br />

<br />

higher energy bills.<br />

“I am committed to lower<br />

<br />

lower them if I’m elected,”<br />

she said.<br />

an all-weather, synthetic<br />

surface are already underway<br />

is a game-changer for<br />

sports fans in our community<br />

The Stage 2 works will<br />

provide more training<br />

booming in Ryde, it is so<br />

important that our amenities<br />

Annual Fun Run/Walk a big success<br />

RYDE EASTWOOD Leagues Club recently hosted its second annual Run for Fun/Walk between<br />

Meadowbank and Rydalmere wharves.<br />

ed<br />

Ryde-Eastwood family including<br />

<br />

of the club’s Fitness Edge Health &<br />

Aquatic Centre, turned out on a wet<br />

and blustery Sunday morning, a stellar<br />

turnout given the inclement conditions.<br />

This year the Leagues Club’s Board<br />

of Directors generously donated<br />

<br />

to the Children’s Medical Research<br />

Institute.<br />

Event organiser Jo Luke, the club’s<br />

Human Resources Manager, declared<br />

the event a great success.<br />

“We couldn’t have asked for a better<br />

turnout, especially with the unpredictable<br />

weather conditions,” she<br />

said.<br />

“From the little children that took<br />

part to the grandparents, everybody<br />

gave their all. And special thanks go<br />

to all those volunteers who made the<br />

morning run like clockwork.”<br />

Ryde Librarians recognised<br />

MORE than a million readers visited the City of<br />

Ryde’s public libraries this year.<br />

Ryde Library Service<br />

amongst an elite set of<br />

six NSW library services<br />

with a million visitors<br />

ranking.<br />

The libraries also boasts<br />

other impressive statistics<br />

which include nearly<br />

a million items borrowed<br />

annually, 97,000 loans of<br />

eBooks, eMagazines and<br />

Ryde scraps Pickering’s heritage policy<br />

THE DESPISED Heritage Policy of former Mayor Bill Pickering was scrapped by the unanimous<br />

vote of Ryde’s new councillors on Tuesday night.<br />

eAudios, 1,800 programs<br />

and events, 63,000 event<br />

attendees and 160,000<br />

information requests.<br />

The impressice statistics<br />

are from the City of<br />

<br />

Ryde, Eastwood, North<br />

Ryde, West Ryde and<br />

Gladesville which serve<br />

to 35,000 residents of the<br />

City of Ryde and Hunters<br />

Hill local government<br />

areas.<br />

Ryde Library Services<br />

also won the prestigious<br />

Marketing Award<br />

for Public Libraries for<br />

the “March to a Million”<br />

promotion.<br />

“The Award recognises<br />

marketing excellence<br />

by a Council-operated<br />

public library servicing<br />

a community of over<br />

100,000 residents and<br />

was announced at the<br />

annual conference of the<br />

New South Wales Public<br />

Libraries Association,”<br />

City of Ryde Mayor Jerome<br />

Laxale said.<br />

March to a Million was<br />

a three-month community<br />

awareness campaign<br />

promoting the services,<br />

collections and pro-<br />

<br />

Ryde libraries to achieve<br />

one million visitors in the<br />

<br />

The creative use of a<br />

distinctive red and white<br />

footprint logo, branded<br />

giveaways such as re-<br />

<br />

cookies, marketing material<br />

and special promotions,<br />

saw the campaign<br />

exceed its goal<br />

with 1,017,089 recorded<br />

<br />

increase in the use of<br />

services, collections and<br />

new memberships.<br />

Mayor Laxale congrat-<br />

motion’s<br />

success.<br />

“This was a well-conceived<br />

and cleverly executed<br />

campaign that<br />

achieved all its stated<br />

goals.<br />

“Not only did our library<br />

services reach<br />

the magic million visits,<br />

public awareness of the<br />

value of the library and<br />

the extensive range of<br />

free services provided to<br />

the community also increased.<br />

The Pickering policy<br />

left heritage protection<br />

and listing up to<br />

the property’s owner or<br />

developer with the result<br />

that many historic<br />

homes were demolished<br />

or substantially rebuilt.<br />

This outraged many<br />

residents in heritage<br />

streets who argued<br />

the value of their own<br />

homes was subsequently<br />

reduced as their<br />

street’s historic character<br />

and steetscape<br />

changed.<br />

Under the new policy<br />

endorsed by new Mayor<br />

Jerome Laxale with the<br />

strong support of the<br />

Ryde Liberals, Greens<br />

and Independents the<br />

council will now heritage<br />

list homes of significant<br />

historic importance.<br />

In a further motion<br />

by Liberal Clr Trenton<br />

Brown, the council will<br />

also conduct an inventory<br />

of heritage homes<br />

across the City of Ryde.<br />

Mayor Laxale blasted<br />

the Pickering policy.<br />

“We deciced the owner<br />

would have the last<br />

say and what we found<br />

is that a new owner<br />

comes in and knocks<br />

down a historic home<br />

because of our poor<br />

policy,” the Mayor said.<br />

“I will not stand for this<br />

and it is time to correct<br />

our heritage policy.”<br />

Councillor Brown<br />

agreed.<br />

“In the past we’ve not<br />

done enough and there<br />

are those with no appreciation<br />

of the history<br />

and heritage of our<br />

country,” he said.<br />

The change in policy<br />

was made after neighbours<br />

of the heritage<br />

Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale is pictured outside historic 330 Rowe Street in Eastwood.<br />

home at 330 Rowe<br />

Street, Eastwood, urged<br />

councillors at last Tuesday<br />

night’s council<br />

meeting not to approve<br />

a proposal for a childcare<br />

centreat the site for<br />

74 children.<br />

Eunice and Jim Dumas<br />

were among residents<br />

who objected to<br />

the loss of the 1906 era<br />

Federation cottage at<br />

330 Rowe Street, once<br />

owned by local chemist<br />

J.Vale and the council’s<br />

responsibility to save it.<br />

“We, too, have rights,”<br />

Jim Dumas said.<br />

Neighbour Jacqualine<br />

Raad said she sought<br />

justice from councillors.<br />

“I have lived all my<br />

life in Rowe Street and<br />

I seek justice from this<br />

council, this street is our<br />

home, it is my home.<br />

“This (proposed) development<br />

is a wolf in<br />

sheep’s clothing.”<br />

Local resident Martin<br />

Ho said the proposed<br />

childcare centre<br />

is “commercial in nature<br />

and disregards the<br />

community.”<br />

“I do not want to tell<br />

my children we’ve lost<br />

this historic home forever.”<br />

The change is Ryde’s<br />

heritage policy has<br />

been welcomed by heritage<br />

campaigner’s in<br />

neighbouring Hunters<br />

Hill who said the Pickering<br />

heritage policy<br />

was a major reason why<br />

Hunters Hill Council opposed<br />

a forced merger<br />

SYDNEY Cricket Club’s talented colt Tristen McDonald<br />

has been a batsman on a mission this summer in<br />

the NSW Premier Cricket competition.<br />

When the Central<br />

Coast junior product<br />

was dropped from the<br />

<br />

last season he vowed<br />

that he would return<br />

by scoring a mountain<br />

of runs in the minor<br />

grades.<br />

And the stylish top order<br />

bat was true to his<br />

word.<br />

McDonald, who hails<br />

from Woy Woy, commenced<br />

the 2017-18<br />

season for the Sydney<br />

club in second grade<br />

and has proved a revelation<br />

with innings of 96,<br />

109, 63 and 120 before<br />

his recall to the top grade<br />

for last week’s clash with<br />

Sydney University at<br />

Sydney University Oval.<br />

He continued his early<br />

season run harvest last<br />

Saturday by top scoring<br />

for the Tigers with a<br />

gritty 60 in a rain-marred<br />

draw with the Students.<br />

Chasing Sydney University’s<br />

total of 8 dec<br />

351, the Tigers were<br />

5-192 in reply when the<br />

match was abandoned<br />

after 60 overs.<br />

McDonald’s superb<br />

half century took his<br />

season tally to 451 runs<br />

at a healthy average of<br />

75.2 and looks to have<br />

consolidated his spot in<br />

<br />

<br />

115 balls and clouted six<br />

boundaries and a six and<br />

posted a third wicket<br />

stand of 85 with standin<br />

skipper Harry Dalton,<br />

who was unbeaten on<br />

57 with eight boundaries<br />

<br />

due to rain.<br />

McDonald was caught<br />

<br />

the bowling of 19 year<br />

old leg spinner Devlin<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Opener Justin Mosca<br />

also impressed with a<br />

polished knock of 60.<br />

MEANWHILE Sydney’s<br />

Ash Squire collected an<br />

eight wicket haul in the<br />

Tigers’ second grade<br />

victory over Sydney University<br />

Not since the Ryde<br />

Angels participated in<br />

a women’s competition<br />

back in the early 1970s<br />

has a girls side pulled<br />

on the boots at a senior<br />

level.<br />

The formation of a Ryde<br />

Eastwood women’s team<br />

will provide a pathway for<br />

the numerous young girls<br />

that participate in the<br />

Balmain Junior League<br />

Mini and Mod League<br />

competitions.<br />

Women players from<br />

18 years up now have<br />

an opportunity to enjoy<br />

playing rugby league.<br />

“They have stood,<br />

watched and supported<br />

their male counterparts<br />

playing the game - now<br />

they have the chance to<br />

impress the boys with<br />

their skills and passion<br />

for the game, “ said<br />

North Ryde JRLFC president<br />

and Ryde Eastwood<br />

<br />

“With ladies from the<br />

North Ryde and Carlingford<br />

Junior Rugby<br />

League Clubs already<br />

signed on, as well as<br />

others from around the<br />

Balmain district, this<br />

side will be a melting pot<br />

of local talent, all looking<br />

forward to forming a<br />

competitive side that will<br />

be a force to be reckoned<br />

with in the 2018<br />

competition,” Glenn<br />

said.<br />

“They do still require<br />

more women to join the<br />

squad to ensure that<br />

they can make this happen,”<br />

he added.<br />

The Hawks are also<br />

looking for players to<br />

compete in U/18 and<br />

U/20 competitions next<br />

season.<br />

up a great lineup of<br />

new quality player<br />

especially in the<br />

forwards where<br />

premiership games are<br />

won.<br />

Critics who have<br />

criticised the lack of<br />

mongrel up front are<br />

happy with the addition<br />

of Chris McQueen<br />

and especially Russell<br />

Packer who spent<br />

twelve months at Her<br />

Majesty’s pleasure for<br />

stomping on someone’s<br />

head as indication of<br />

aggressive behaviour.<br />

Add Kiwi Test forward<br />

Ben Matulino and<br />

Robbie Rochow plus<br />

utility Josh Reynolds<br />

and sharp backs Taane<br />

Milne, Mahe Fonua and<br />

Corey Thompson.<br />

Look out 2018. Here<br />

we come. See ya there.<br />
