AIRD’S SNEAKY<br />
MEETINGS<br />
BY OUR CHIEF CIVIC ROUNDSMAN<br />
Dictator Premier Baird and his sidekick henchman minister<br />
for Mega Councils Toole were not content with announcing<br />
the death of Local Government on the eve of Christmas when<br />
Parliament was in recess but have followed up with another<br />
scam.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re really scraping at the bottom of the barrel. How<br />
low can you get and still seek credibility and respect? <strong>The</strong><br />
hypocrisy is mind boggling.<br />
How many citizens would know that Baird and co have<br />
arranged “public” meetings to have the final say on council<br />
mergers?<br />
<strong>The</strong> only announcement was a jumble of nondescript<br />
advertisements in the two daily papers and not a word to the<br />

Australia Day is a time first and foremost, to express appreciation for the country we<br />
are so blessed to live in. Australia is not perfect nowhere is. But in so many ways, to<br />
live in this country, in this Commonwealth, is to win the lottery. Our nation is safe, and<br />
free of war and strife, it is fair and open, and it is growing, swelling with opportunity both<br />
social and economic. Australia Day is a time to reflect in awe of how far such a country<br />
could come settled first by travellers , years ago, then again by the British, as<br />
a penal colony, then reconstituted by our citiens as a Commonwealth. Through it all,<br />
through the hardship and toil, through crisis domestic and international, ours has been<br />
a country that looks forward, with optimism, to the opportunities tomorrow might bring.<br />
Bennelong<br />
we do all Australians a disservice if we don’t look at the totality<br />
of our history, and do it a day with some significance.<br />
or a lot of my constituents, I’m sure the heavy questions of<br />
Australian history and politics are the last thing on their minds<br />
this riday, they’ll be enoying barbecues and celebrations with<br />

Turnbull blamed<br />
for power bills<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
Just received my electricity<br />
bill and on checking<br />
it with the same period<br />
last year found the<br />
increase was $192 and I<br />
had used less power.<br />
I put the blame on PM<br />
Turnbull for signing the<br />
Paris climate change<br />
agreement and therefore<br />
committing Australian<br />
households and businesses<br />
to what I believe<br />
an unnecessary financial<br />
burden.<br />
Before Mr Turnbull<br />
signed this agreement he<br />
must have known a number<br />
of related things.<br />
For a start climate commentators<br />
here and overseas<br />
believe there has<br />
been no global warming<br />
for over 20 years.<br />
He would also know that<br />
Australian CO2 emissions<br />
are so low that they make<br />
no difference to global<br />
warming.<br />
He would have known<br />
that the US was pulling<br />
out of the agreement (and<br />
now Germany) and China<br />
and India have been given<br />
leave passes on any commitment.<br />
So why on earth would<br />
Turnbull sign up Australia?<br />
He must have also<br />
known that it is highly<br />
doubtful the Paris agreement<br />
was ever going to<br />
be the answer to global<br />
warming.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reductions in CO2<br />
LETTERS to the Editor<br />
emissions-according to<br />
the UN-required to keep<br />
global temperature increases<br />
below 2 degrees<br />
could not be achieved or<br />
go anywhere near it, even<br />
if every country did what<br />
they promised to do under<br />
the Paris accord.<br />
Mr Turnbull would have<br />
also known that climate<br />
change money would be<br />
involved.<br />
He has already pledged<br />
$1 billion as a start.<br />
As well Australian taxpayers<br />
will be forking out<br />
subsidies to wind and solar<br />
farm owners to the tune<br />
of $45 billion by 2030.<br />
What a sorry state we<br />
are in.<br />
Both Liberal and Labor<br />
politicians are infected by<br />
ideologies that rob them of<br />
intelligence and common<br />
sense. I’ve had enough of<br />
them.<br />

Q ueries on<br />
painted street<br />
markings<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I have noticed that<br />
Ryde Council has recently<br />
taken to marking<br />
the road adjacent to<br />
some driveways with a<br />
white box with diagonals<br />
joining the corners.<br />
Is this because they think<br />
drivers are now too visually<br />
impaired to see to notice<br />
driveways or too retarded<br />

to know not to park across<br />
them?<br />
Or are they simply desperate<br />
to be seen to be<br />
doing something?<br />
It is another wonderful<br />
example of the triumph<br />
among bureaucrats of ideology<br />
over observation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> only positive thing<br />
one could say about these<br />
new road markings is that<br />
they are not quite as inane<br />
as the bicycle stencils on<br />
the roads often say just 50<br />
metres apart (Do they also<br />
think drivers are suffering<br />
from short term memory<br />
loss?) Or worse still the ludicrous<br />
short green painted<br />
bicycle lanes at some<br />
intersections.<br />
Don’t get me started<br />
on the speed humps everyone<br />
swerves around<br />
at normal or increased<br />
speed.<br />
Virtue signalling without<br />
any logic to your actions is<br />
merely<br />
signalling your desperation<br />
to be seen as politically<br />
correct.<br />

Top class mining<br />
innovation<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
<strong>The</strong> NSW Minerals<br />
Council has supported the<br />
release of the latest stage<br />
of the national Making<br />
the Future Possible campaign,<br />
featuring the Australian<br />
mining industry’s<br />
innovative use of cuttingedge<br />
drone technology.<br />
<strong>The</strong> use of new drone<br />
technology to enhance<br />
safety and productivity at<br />
mine sites is an example of<br />
how the mining industry in<br />
NSW and across the country<br />
is one of the most technologically<br />
advanced in the<br />
world, with a highly skilled<br />
mining workforce and ongoing<br />
investment in skills and<br />
training.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign’s latest<br />
focus on drones and technology<br />
complements another<br />
campaign theme that<br />
highlights the growth and<br />
success of NSW business<br />
Quarry Mining and its Managing<br />
Director, Kari Armitage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> growth and success<br />
of Hunter Valley business<br />
Quarry Mining is a great<br />
example how mining creates<br />
additional jobs beyond<br />
actual mining operations,<br />
including through the thousands<br />
of mining supplier<br />
businesses across NSW<br />
that are increasingly using<br />
innovation and technology<br />
to keep our mining industry<br />
as the world’s best.<br />
STEPHEN GALILEE<br />
CEO, NSW Minerals<br />
Council<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY ON AUSTRALIA DAY<br />
Two sides of<br />
the debate<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I do understand both sides<br />
of the debate over Australia<br />
Day. When the First Fleet<br />
sailed into Port Jackson the<br />
lives and lands of the Indigenous<br />
Australians changed<br />
forever. A day of loss.<br />
And the same for the convicts<br />
of the First Fleet, who<br />
were not in Australia by choice.<br />
Many of them would never see<br />
their homeland and loved ones<br />
again. A day of loss for them<br />
as well.<br />
I don’t think that changing<br />
the date of Australia Day is the<br />
answer. <strong>The</strong> day is what it is.<br />
But, why can we not begin<br />
the day commemorating and<br />
remembering the losses sustained?<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, we can move on<br />
to celebrating where we are today.<br />
And perhaps we can also<br />
incorporate a look at where we<br />
want to be in the future and<br />
how best to achieve that?<br />
A little bit like, dare I say it,<br />
Anzac Day?<br />
We begin the day remembering<br />
and commemorating those<br />
who served, and returned, and<br />
those who did not. <strong>The</strong>n, after<br />
the march, we tend to celebrate<br />
who we were – two up<br />
and the like.<br />
Australia Day could be the<br />
same. Commemorate. Celebrate.<br />
Contemplate.<br />
KIM PHILLIPS<br />
Ryde<br />
Settlers benefitted<br />
‘F irst Australians’<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I prefer to keep the date for<br />
Australia Day as <strong>January</strong> 26, at<br />
least at present.<br />
We can be sorry for past<br />
wrongs, but there are many<br />
things that have come from<br />
European Settlement of Australia<br />
that are benefiting the<br />
“First Australians” now.<br />
For example, medical assistance,<br />
support for education,<br />
dialogue which is happening<br />
now, and land rights.<br />
I don’t think everything was<br />
perfect for the people who<br />
lived here before European<br />
Settlement, I’m aware there<br />
were inter-tribal fights, and I’m<br />
sure there were times when<br />
droughts caused some groups<br />
and tribes to be very hungry.<br />
(eg You can only fish when<br />
there is water in the rivers and<br />
watercourses).<br />
Sometimes we’re led to believe<br />
everything was absolutely<br />
marvellous before 1770, but I<br />
would question if that is correct.<br />
If the English had not settled<br />
here, probably the French (who<br />
were close to forming settlements),<br />
the Germans or the<br />
Dutch probably would have.<br />
(or maybe the Chinese, or Indonesians).<br />
I agree with the paragraph<br />
on P5 of the TWT Wed.<br />
17.1.18: “Australia Day should<br />
be a day when ALL AUS-<br />
TRALIANS should celebrate<br />
together … and thank those<br />
who have come before us and<br />
provided a magnificent inheritance<br />
for us all to enjoy.”<br />
We can include the indigenous<br />
peoples in “those who<br />
have come before us and<br />
provided a magnificent inheritance<br />
for us all to enjoy” because<br />
we have much to learn<br />
from them, and would benefit<br />
from their ideas, eg land management,<br />
and many cultural<br />
ideas.<br />
W ither<br />
Australia<br />
day?<br />
RUTH NANNELLI<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
Leave it alone, it’s a well established<br />
day for all Australians<br />
even if a lot of us don’t<br />
know why.<br />
Let’s have another day for<br />
Aboriginal Australia and let<br />
Aboriginal people nominate it. I<br />
might point out that we have a<br />
spare holiday that is almost redundant,<br />
how about a little repacking<br />
of Queen’s Birthday?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a bigger question.<br />
Why are we messing around<br />
with this silly debate when we<br />
have a government that rejected<br />
the recommendation for a<br />
Makarrata Commission out of<br />
hand only a few months ago?<br />
Until the nation deals with<br />
those fundamental questions<br />
no amount of tweaking<br />
holidays will start to set things<br />
right.<br />
PETER MITCHELL<br />
Date MUST<br />
be changed!<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
Thank you for inviting readers<br />
to have our say about Australia<br />
Day. I think it MUST be<br />
changed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> choice of <strong>January</strong> 26 is,<br />
clearly, divisive, whereas a National<br />
Day should unite us.<br />
Of course, changing the date<br />
does not solve any problems<br />
for those who cant afford<br />
electricity, and in particular<br />
it does not solve the numerous<br />
problems of indigenous<br />
Australians. But it is a symbolic<br />
gesture and symbols<br />
ARE important - otherwise we<br />
wouldn't be discussing this<br />
topic at all.<br />
As for alternative dates, I<br />
understand Federation Day<br />
has been proposed, but there<br />
could be diculties with that.<br />
Maybe, then, a purely symbolic<br />
date with no historical<br />
significance. or example, the<br />
first day of Spring. Or the day<br />
after the winter solstice, when<br />
days start getting longer and<br />
spring is just round the corner.<br />

no connection with Empire, no<br />
exclusion of Western Australians,<br />
remember the Dutch got<br />
there 200 years before Cook.<br />
A great time of year to have<br />
a day off as there are too<br />
many public hols in the first<br />
half of the year.<br />
And most persuasively, it<br />
should be the day Australia<br />
is proclaimed a republic.<br />
WARWICK TAYLOR<br />
Gladesville<br />
Day to satisfy<br />
both camps<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I know a resolution that<br />
should satisfy both camps.<br />
As Australia Day in the past<br />
was actually celebrated on<br />
different days from state to<br />
state we should celebrate it on<br />
one of the other Australia Day<br />
dates that doesn't fall on the<br />
1st Fleet sailing into Botany<br />
Bay. July or August maybe?<br />
It is interesting to note that<br />
Australia Day as we know it<br />
has only been unified with<br />
NSW to coincide with the 1988<br />
bicentennial, thirty years ago -<br />
food for thought.<br />

In the war to end all wars<br />
ON THURSDAY last<br />
week, I welcomed ladies<br />
and gentlemen of the 3rd<br />
Squadron RAAF Association<br />
to a small commemoration<br />
service in front of<br />
the World War 1 Howitzer<br />
outside the Town Hall.<br />
It was 100 years exactly<br />
since the Squadron established<br />
its long term identity<br />
and over that time, a huge<br />
amount of stirring history<br />
has taken place under the<br />
3SQN Banner.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fathers of two of<br />
the Association members<br />
John Love and Des Sheehan<br />
served in 3AFC one<br />
hundred years ago.<br />
Also present were two<br />
surviving World War 2 Veterans<br />
Slim Moore, a skilled<br />
engine fitter who served<br />
in North Africa, Sicily and<br />
Italy; the Squadron’s last<br />
surviving pilot from that<br />
historic era Arthur Pardey,<br />
who flew the superlative<br />
Mustang fighter-bomber in<br />
Italy in the months before<br />
the German surrender in<br />
1945.<br />
Also present was Wayne<br />
Beattie, a “framie” - an<br />
airframe fitter in mirage<br />
supersonic fighters, who<br />
served over in Malaysia<br />
during 3 Squadron’s long<br />
period in residence there<br />
as part of our country’s<br />
commitment to South East<br />
Asia.<br />
<strong>The</strong> service was held beside<br />
the World War 1 Howitzer<br />
as the grandfather<br />
of one of the Association<br />
members was involved<br />
with its capture 100 years<br />
ago in 1918.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Australian breakthrough<br />
on the Hindenburg<br />
Line where the Howitzer<br />
HUNTERS HILL HAPPENINGS<br />
with Mayor MARK BENNETT<br />
was captured was actually<br />
the final battle that the<br />
Australian Corps fought.<br />
<strong>The</strong> restored gun therefore<br />
represents the end of<br />
their war and is an appropriate<br />
reminder of the tragedies<br />
of wars.<br />
* * *<br />
ONE OF the privileges<br />
of being Mayor is endorsing<br />
the citizenship of new<br />
Australians at our annual<br />
Australia Day ceremonies<br />
and on other occasions<br />
throughout the year.<br />
This year, our special<br />
guest and Australia Day<br />
Ambassador will be Ms<br />
Catherine Saxelby, a distinguished<br />
Australian who<br />
will also assist in formally<br />
recognising the generosity,<br />
commitment and achievements<br />
of those in our local<br />
community to receive<br />
Community Awards.<br />
Our Australia Day celebrations<br />
will be held in<br />
the Hunters Hill Town Hall,<br />
commencing at 9am this<br />
Friday <strong>January</strong> 26.<br />
All members of our community<br />
are invited to attend<br />
and join in celebrating our<br />
national spirit, but please<br />
note that bookings are essential.<br />

Scouts launch Appeal for new Boatshed at Meadowbank<br />
Epping Scouts aim to raise around<br />
$100,000 in donations to rebuild their boatshed<br />
on the Parramatta River at Meadowbank.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new boatshed will replace the existing<br />
boatshed and wharf which is too small to meet<br />
the scout group’s needs and must be replaced<br />
after suffering damage and deterioration.<br />
To make a donation visit the Epping Scouts<br />
website www.eppingscouts.com.au and follow<br />
the link to the GoFundMe boatshed appeal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> group has had a boatshed in Meadowbank<br />
since 1939 which has been used for sailing and<br />
canoeing activities by local scouts. <strong>The</strong> current<br />
building dates from 1977.<br />

Two TWT readers can win double passes to opening<br />

Shrek brings all the<br />
beloved characters<br />
you know from the<br />
film to life on stae<br />
and proves there’s<br />
more to the story<br />
than meets the ears.<br />
“Once upon a time,<br />
there was a little ogre<br />
named Shrek....”<br />
and thus begins the<br />
tale of an unlikely<br />
hero ho finds himself<br />
on a life-changing<br />
journey alongside<br />
a wisecracking Donkey<br />
and a feisty<br />
princess who resists<br />
her rescue.<br />
Throw in a shorttempered<br />
bad guy, a<br />
cookie with an attitude<br />
and<br />
over a dozen other<br />
fair tale misfits and<br />
you’ve got the kind of<br />
mess that calls for a<br />
real hero.<br />
Luckily, there’s one<br />
on hand... and his<br />
name is Shrek!<br />

Road works commence in Meadowbank this month<br />
MOTORISTS and pedestrians will soon experience a safer journey<br />
through a busy Meadowbank intersection with essential improvement<br />
work launched by Ryde MP Victor Dominello on Monday.<br />
Mr Dominello (pictured)<br />
said the $750,000 work<br />
will start at the intersection<br />
of Constitution Road and<br />
Railway Roads and should<br />
be completed by May.<br />
He said the first priority is<br />
pedestrian safety.<br />
“Hundreds of pedestrians<br />
make their way<br />
through this intersection<br />
each day so it is essential<br />
to improve the existing pedestrian<br />
facilities and install<br />
a signalised crossing,” Mr<br />
Dominello said.<br />
“This intersection provides<br />
direct access to<br />
Meadowbank Station,<br />
TAFE NSW Meadowbank<br />
and a number of cafes and<br />
recreation shops so a signalised<br />
pedestrian crossing<br />
will greatly improve safety.<br />
“Work will involve establishing<br />
a site compound, installing<br />
a new trac light at<br />
the intersection, replacing<br />
the raised kerb edge with<br />
new pram ramps as well as<br />
replacing large sections of<br />
asphalt and repainting line<br />
markings.<br />
“New signs, light poles<br />
and trac light sensors will<br />
also be installed.”<br />
Mr Dominello said work<br />
will be carried out by City<br />
of Ryde on behalf of Roads<br />
and Maritime Services between<br />
8pm and 5am Sunday<br />
to Thursday.<br />
“hanged trac conditions<br />
will be in place during<br />
work for the safety of<br />
workers and motorists,” Mr<br />
Dominello said.<br />
Access to bus stops in<br />
the work zone could also<br />
be affected and trac controllers<br />
will direct bus customers<br />
to temporary stopping<br />
points nearby.<br />
Mr Dominello said every<br />
effort will be made to minimise<br />
the impact of noise on<br />
residents and businesses.<br />

In another announcement<br />
by Mr Dominello<br />
some 100,000 business<br />
customers including taxi<br />
owners will be the first to<br />
receive their CTP Green<br />
Slip refunds this week, with<br />
cheques going out from<br />
today.<br />
He said the average refund<br />
will be $265 for businesses<br />
and $1,255 for taxi<br />
owners.<br />
“CTP refund cheques<br />
are now on their way to<br />
thousands of businesses<br />
across the state,” he said.<br />
“As a result of the Government’s<br />
reforms, $52<br />
million will be returned to<br />
business customers, including<br />
taxi operators, over<br />
the coming weeks.”<br />
Individual policy holders<br />
will be able to access<br />
their refunds online through<br />
Service NSW in the coming<br />
months. Sydney drivers,<br />
who pay the highest Green<br />
Slip prices, will see the largest<br />
refunds, at an average<br />
of $70 and country drivers<br />
will be 0 better off.<br />

Hunters Hill commemorates a World War One centenary<br />
ommemorated a sinifiant<br />
World War One centenary day during a memorial<br />
service at the Town Hall last Thursday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event commemorated<br />
the 100th Anniversary<br />
of founding of the famous<br />
Australian 3rd Squadron<br />
whose exploits played a<br />
crucial role in the capture<br />
of the German Howitzer<br />
gun that proudly stands<br />
beside the Town Hall’s War<br />
Memorial.<br />
In a keynote address historian<br />
James Oglethorpe<br />
said 3rd Squadron RE8 aircraft<br />
were deployed to fly<br />
over German lines and detect<br />
the howitzers, whose<br />
devasting 15mm shells<br />
killed more allied soldiers<br />
than any other Grerat War<br />
weapon.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Hunters Hill howitzer<br />
has many links to the<br />
rd Squadron, which flew<br />
directly overhead the place<br />
where this gun was captured<br />
and an RE8 was lost<br />
when it was hit by a German<br />
shell .. one that could<br />
have been fired by this<br />
very gun!” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 3rd Squadron<br />
were finding howiters<br />
as the shells whizzed<br />
around them and their ac-<br />
tions saved the lives of<br />
thousands of Australian<br />
troops.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hunters Hill howitzer<br />
was captured at La-<br />
Motte Farm near Estrees<br />
in France in 1918 by the<br />
20th Battalion (AIF) and<br />
presented to the heritage<br />
municipality for its contribution<br />
to the war effort.<br />
It also serves to remind<br />
local residents of the gratitude<br />
of the French people<br />
for Hunters Hill’s contribution<br />
to saving France and<br />
is one of many historic<br />
links between Hunters Hill<br />
and France.<br />
“When you touch this<br />
howitzer gun you are actually<br />
touching a piece of<br />
France because the iron<br />
ore used to construct it<br />
came from Lorraine in<br />
France,” Mr Oglethorpe<br />
said.<br />
“Amazingly, the French<br />
never destroyed the (iron<br />
ore) mines in Lorraine because<br />
they never contemplated<br />
losing Lorraine.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> historian also spoke<br />
of a poignant link between<br />
France and the 3rd Squadron,<br />
as the last aircraft shot<br />
down by the German air<br />
aces was near where the<br />
howitzer was captured.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> graves of the crew<br />
were never recovered and<br />
their bodies are somewhere<br />
on those rolling<br />
rench fields.”<br />
John Love is the son of<br />
World War One pilot Nigel<br />
Love and he was among<br />
guests at the commemoration<br />
who laid an orange<br />
rose beside the howitzer in<br />
honour of the 3rd Squadron’s<br />
orange insignia.<br />
He recalls his father recorded<br />
news of the last<br />
German counter offensive.<br />
“My father wrote in his<br />
diary ...we need not have<br />
worried as the line held by<br />
the Aussie five divisions in<br />
front of us held like a steel<br />
cable and arrested the attack<br />
permanently.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 3rd Squadron of the<br />
Australian Flying Corps<br />
was given a new key role<br />
at the time.. bombing and<br />
strafing forward trench positions<br />
and dropping aerial<br />
supllies by mini parachutes<br />
.. as well as taking out hostile<br />
gun battery positions<br />
and detailed mapping of<br />
enemy positions.”<br />
Mr Love also spoke about<br />
the horror of the Great War<br />
and the push to bring Australian<br />
soldiers home from<br />
the Western Front.<br />
It was a theme taken up<br />
by Hunters Hill Mayor Mark<br />
Bennett, who gave an address<br />
next to the howitzer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se symbols of <strong>The</strong><br />
Great War remind us of the<br />
terrible thing war is as well<br />
as the mateship and comradeship<br />
of war,” he said.<br />
“War is a tragedy and we<br />
must forever remain vigilant<br />
and ready to serve our<br />
country.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> commemoration in<br />
Hunters Hill coincides with<br />
commemoration services<br />
in France, particularly in<br />
the former German occupied<br />
areas liberated by<br />
Allied soldiers after four<br />
years of atrocities against<br />
the civillian population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city of Lille was liberated<br />
in1918 by General Sir<br />
William Birdwood, who led<br />
Australian troops at Gallipoli.<br />

Lives at risk as<br />
electricity and gas<br />
bills skyrocket!<br />
Skyrocketing electricity and gas charges are endangering the lives of many<br />
thousands of Australians in TWT territory.<br />
Reason for the dramatic power cost hikes<br />
is the State and Federal Governments’<br />
insane adherence to the hoax Climate<br />
Change/Global Warming ideology and reusable<br />
energy targets.<br />
It’s time the people spoke up and called<br />
the boneheaded MPs for what they are.<br />
GUTLESS DOPES who will condemn thousands<br />
of not so well off pensioners and battlers<br />
to death.<br />
Te als ad iies ae fired<br />

Health authorities say people who cannot<br />
afford heating are at greater risk.<br />
We have to face the reality that Australia’s<br />
mad adherence to the Paris Accord<br />
will not affect the world’s temperature<br />
one iota especially as the major<br />
emitters China, India and USA are not<br />
committed.<br />

HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!<br />
Another Massive $candal!<br />
BY OUR CHIEF CIVIC ROUNDSMAN<br />
Ryde’s erratic mayor Colonel Pickering has done it<br />
again – squandering Ryde ratepayers hard earned cash.<br />
He wasn’t satisfied spending nearly a million dollars of<br />
ratepayers money on the Save Ryde campaign before claiming<br />
he was the last of the Ryde City mayors and then proclaiming<br />
himself to become first of the new mega council<br />
mayors.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n in a reversal of form he was mayor of the City of Ryde<br />
again.<br />
Meanwhile as leader of the dysfunctional Liberals in council<br />
he has overseen Ryde Council wasting over $2,000,000<br />
a year renting premises at North Ryde when the Ryde Civic<br />
Centre is left empty.<br />
And on top of that he supported the million dollar phony international<br />
design competition for a new civic centre which<br />
will see pigs fly before it has a chance of construction.<br />
He has overseen ratepayers through council pay out<br />
$200,000 to students at the Beijing Institute of Architectural<br />
Design for the flawed winning entry.<br />
But NOW he has moved at last week’s Council meeting that<br />
a further $95,000 be paid to the Chinese to redesign the winning<br />
entry!<br />
What an absolute farce and waste of ratepayers money.<br />

PUBLIC UPROAR AT<br />
CIVIC CENTRE<br />
DEMOLITION PLANS<br />
BY OUR CHIEF CIVIC ROUNDSMAN<br />
Public anger has erupted over last week’s revelations in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> that Ryde’s<br />
Liberal led – or misled - Council is squandering over $2 million of Ryde ratepayers hard<br />
earned money in lavish accommodation at Macquarie Park.<br />
Especially as that relates to over $10<br />
million over the next five years when for<br />
a meagre $100,000 or so the existing<br />
Ryde Civic Centre building could be<br />
repaired and continue to be used.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building has been declared<br />
structurally sound and does not need<br />
to be demolished as has been stated by<br />
leading construction management<br />
expert Professor John Smolders of<br />
Newcastle University’s prestigious<br />
School of Architecture and Built<br />
Environment.<br />
Demolition of the Civic Centre<br />
building would also mean that the<br />
adjoining Civic Hall would be lost to the<br />
community as well. Regular users are<br />
devastated at the news. “Where can we<br />
go?” they are asking.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dysfunctional Liberal dominated Ryde City<br />
Council will be cleaned out at this year’s Council<br />

<strong>The</strong> Liberals were elected four years ago when State Labor<br />
was on the nose after 16 years of erratic Labor government.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reverse is true this year with the Liberals on the nose.<br />
When John Howard was the local Bennelong MP and Prime<br />
Minister he wouldn’t allow the local Liberals to stand for local<br />
government because he believed they could bring discredit<br />
to the party, and how right he was.<br />
Under the current leadership Ryde Council has degenerated<br />
to a three ring circus with the ringmaster a prize clown.<br />
A new breed of young, lean and clean Liberals are spearheading<br />

a meagre eleven votes from 53<br />
pre-selectors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> “People’s Mayor” Councillor Roy<br />

Clr Sarkis Yedelian was the only sitting<br />

Liberal councillors elected at the previous<br />
election.<br />
Eight candidates faced the preselectors<br />
on Saturday for East and Central Wards<br />
with Trenton Brown the only candidate<br />
for West Ward so another candidate will<br />
need to be found to represent a group on<br />

Jane Stott and Roy Maggio were overlooked<br />
in voting for East Ward won by<br />

Similarly Colonel Pickering was passed<br />
over in Central Ward with Clr Sarkis<br />
Yedelian picking up number one position<br />
and Christopher Moujalli number 2.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Colonel retiring<br />
Ryde mayor Bill Pickering<br />
has used the<br />
Ryde mayoralty and<br />
cited a major development<br />
deal hidden<br />
from public scrutiny<br />
to establish and promote<br />
a new housing<br />
association he’ll lead<br />
as “consulting chief<br />
executive”.<br />
Pickering<br />
resigned<br />
from the Liberal Party,<br />
along with sidekick,<br />
fellow Ryde councillor,<br />
Jane Stott, after the<br />
pair’s humiliating defeat<br />
in a Liberal Party<br />
preselection contest.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y spat the dummy<br />
and are now contesting<br />
this Saturday’s<br />
Ryde Council’s election<br />
central ward as<br />
Independents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Colonel must<br />
have seen the writing<br />
on the wall, establishing<br />
the Housing Supply<br />
Association as a<br />
not or rofit copany<br />
along with its<br />
website in late June,<br />
but claims the start-up<br />
industry body “already<br />
has government support”.<br />
Pickering’s<br />
longtime<br />
mate, NSW Planning<br />
Minister Anthony<br />
Roberts has given<br />
the HSA legitimacy,<br />
delivering a keynote<br />
address at its launch<br />
before 400 guests in<br />
Doltone House in late<br />
July, hinting the HSA’s<br />
members would have<br />
preferential<br />
access<br />
and a say in planning<br />
policy.<br />
“We now have for<br />
the first tie eer a<br />
purpose-lead organisation<br />
representing industry<br />
leaders that are<br />
working hand in hand<br />
with those seeking<br />
aordable housing in<br />
government to holistically<br />
address the issue<br />
of housing supply and<br />
aordability oberts<br />
told guests.<br />
“I look forward to<br />
working closely with<br />
the HSA and I would<br />
say that if you want a<br />
good voice, if you really<br />
want to participate<br />
in the policy make up,<br />
the HSA is a great op-<br />

<strong>The</strong> dysfunctional Liberal dominated Ryde City<br />
Council will be cleaned out at this year’s Council<br />
elections on Saturday September 9.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Liberals were elected four years ago when State Labor<br />
was on the nose after 16 years of erratic Labor government.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reverse is true this year with the Liberals on the nose.<br />
When John Howard was the local Bennelong MP and Prime<br />
Minister he wouldn’t allow the local Liberals to stand for local<br />
government because he believed they could bring discredit<br />
to the party, and how right he was.<br />
Under the current leadership Ryde Council has degenerated<br />
to a three ring circus with the ringmaster a prize clown.<br />
A new breed of young, lean and clean Liberals are spearheading<br />
the move to oust the existing decadent Liberal<br />
councillors in an attempt to create a better impression for<br />
the party prior to the next State elections when Labor is on<br />
the ascendancy.<br />
Nominations close August 9<br />

<strong>The</strong> couple were axed in a bloodbath<br />
pre-selection meeting at Ryde-Eastwood<br />
Leagues Club on Saturday when they received<br />
a meagre eleven votes from 53<br />
pre-selectors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> “People’s Mayor” Councillor Roy<br />
Maggio was also axed and is expected<br />
to stand as an Independent in East Ward.<br />
Clr Sarkis Yedelian was the only sitting<br />
Liberal Councillor to survive pre-selection<br />
blood letting out of an original six<br />
Liberal councillors elected at the previous<br />
election.<br />
Eight candidates faced the preselectors<br />
on Saturday for East and Central Wards<br />
with Trenton Brown the only candidate<br />
for West Ward so another candidate will<br />
need to be found to represent a group on<br />
the ballot paper.<br />
Jane Stott and Roy Maggio were overlooked<br />
in voting for East Ward won by<br />
Jordan Lane first and Brigid Meney second.<br />
Similarly Colonel Pickering was passed<br />
over in Central Ward with Clr Sarkis<br />
Yedelian picking up number one position<br />
and Christopher Moujalli number 2.<br />

Company and registration records<br />
show the new body was only<br />
established in late June this year<br />
and there is no record of any contact<br />
with Roberts about the HSA in<br />
quarterly ministerial diary disclosures<br />
since he became NSW Planning<br />
Minister early this year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> irony of recent comments<br />
announcing new legislation stripping<br />
councils of powers to approve<br />
developments between $5m<br />
and $30m in value, must have been<br />
lost on Roberts, who declared an<br />
“end the dodgy and dirty backroom<br />
deals” in local councils.<br />
“To the lurk merchants and spivs<br />
who inhabit the dark corridors of<br />
Council Chambers across Sydney,<br />
your trade is done,” Roberts said<br />
on his Facebook page.<br />
“Get another job. <strong>The</strong> NSW Government<br />
is done with your corrupt<br />
and dodgy behaviour.”<br />

Too Good to be True?<br />
COLONEL GONE!?<br />
A new breed of Young Turk Liberals are believed to be planning to replace the existing<br />
discredited Liberal councillors on Ryde City Council in a coup d’etat to avoid a whitewash at<br />
the next Council election on September 9.<br />
Young Liberals<br />
attempt to<br />
save Party’s<br />
name at next<br />
Council poll!<br />
Listed for the chopping block are irrational mayor <strong>The</strong><br />
Lt Colonel, deputy Jane Stott and the self proclaimed<br />
“People’s Mayor” Roy Maggio.<br />
BY OUR CHIEF CIVIC ROUNDSMAN<br />
<strong>The</strong> fourth remaining Liberal councillor from the original six is Sarkis<br />
Yedelian OAM who is believed to be on side with the rebels.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other two were Clr Craig Chung who resigned when elected to<br />
Sydney City Council and Artin Etmekdjian who was expelled when<br />
convicted of criminal offences.<br />
Labor has already preselected and announced its candidates for<br />
Ryde and published last week in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> and <strong>The</strong> Greens<br />
this week announce their candidates for Canada Bay. See Page 3.<br />
New faces at Hunters Hill<br />
Nominations for all candidates close 12 noon on Wednesday<br />
August 9 and pre-poll voting commences for two weeks from<br />
Monday August 28.<br />
Returning Officer for Hunters Hill is Jennifer Dash and she will be<br />
meeting with Hunters Hill General Manager Barry Smith today to<br />
arrange details of the local election arrangements.<br />
Hunters Hill is assured of new faces on the new council as at<br />
press time only two of the existing councillors have confirmed<br />
re-nominating, namely deputy mayor Mark Bennett being<br />
supported for mayor by retiring mayor Richard Quinn who is not<br />
seeking re-election and Clr Justine McLaughlin.<br />
Former mayor and a leader of the Save Hunters Hill Municipality<br />
Coalition Ross Williams is also nominating for another stint at<br />
mayor. At Lane Cove mayor Deborah Hutchens and former mayor<br />

Celebrating 9 6 Years<br />
BY OUR CIVIC ROUNDSMAN<br />
Ryde Mayor Colonel Bill Pickering has lashed out at what he described<br />
as a “left wing conspiracy” to dump him from the Liberal Party ticket at Saturday<br />
week’s Ryde Council election.<br />
Says ‘Ratbag Group’<br />
controls Liberal<br />
Party now in Ryde!<br />
In an extraordinary outburst at last Tuesday night’s<br />
Ryde Council meeting Colonel Pickering blamed his<br />
political dumping on a “ratbag group” linked to a left<br />
wing faction in the Liberal Party in Ryde whose key<br />
members are said to include Ryde MP Victor Dominello<br />
and former Ryde MP and faction supremo Michael<br />
Photios.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> party is no longer the Liberal Party” he said “all it is are<br />
factional hacks and when you replace senior people with factional<br />
hacks you’ll get what you deserve”.<br />
Colonel Pickering is said to have resigned from his once beloved<br />
Liberal Party and will now stand as an independent candidate with<br />
his Deputy Mayor Clr Jane Stott who was also dumped at preselection.<br />
Ryde’s self styled “People’s Mayor” Councillor Roy Maggio was<br />
also dumped and is now leading an Independent team in Ryde’s<br />
East Ward.<br />

How can I sell my properties at top price, fast & smoothly? . . .<br />
During the Spring and Summer selling, the outdoor improvements will<br />
attract more value to your home.<br />
Consider a few pot plants to add colour to your garden. Perhaps a herb or veggie patch<br />
which can provide convenience to make handy salad. It is easy to create a small area for<br />
this to impress small family buyers.<br />
or the entertainers, the alfresco deck with BB grills, or ust a simple cover deck by the<br />
pool would be great. <strong>The</strong> outdoor lifestyles are healthy choices for many of us no matter<br />
what age we are.<br />
Sheds are good for storage. Make sure it is well organised when being inspected.<br />
If you have a large garden, it’d be a great idea to have pergolas and paved sections for a<br />
kid’s play area. <strong>The</strong> bird stand or a few statues would also make the garden more stylish.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are fantastic ways to attract more families with kids or who own pets such as dogs that<br />
can run around the garden.<br />

Blake Powell fired the<br />
Mariners ahead from the<br />
penalty spot inside 10 minutes<br />
before Bobo restored<br />
parity with a clinical header<br />
just past the hour mark.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sky Blues enjoyed<br />
the better of the chances<br />
throughout the contest<br />
though Mariners youngster<br />
Lachlan Wales missed a<br />
huge opportunity from close<br />
range just before half time.<br />
Arnold said he was<br />
pleased with his side’s endeavor<br />
throughout the contest<br />
as the Sky Blues extended<br />
their lead at the top<br />
of the table to seven points.<br />
“Obviously it’s about scoring<br />
the goals. I thought the<br />
Mariners were very well set<br />
up tonight,” Arnold said at<br />
the post-match press conference.<br />
“I thought we worked extremely<br />
hard, the effort was<br />
fantastic and we go another<br />
point clear at the top which<br />
is the main thing.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> most important thing<br />
for me always is getting<br />
those opportunities, getting<br />
into those positions, getting<br />
players into good areas and<br />
it’ll come.”<br />
Arnold refuted suggestions<br />
the Mariners had<br />
worked out how to play his<br />
side, pointing to Sydney<br />
FC’s imperious recent record<br />
against the Gosfordbased<br />
side.<br />
Prior to Saturday night,<br />
Sydney had won eight and<br />
drawn one in the last 10<br />
meetings between the two<br />
sides.<br />
“It was a good game, the<br />
Mariners played well but<br />
they didn’t have a shot on<br />
target in the second half and<br />
we had enough chances to<br />
win two games,” Arnold<br />
said.<br />
“I think that for some reason<br />
overall, this being my<br />
200th game, someone up<br />
there wanted this to be a<br />
draw.”<br />

Wednesday 24 <strong>January</strong>, <strong>2018</strong> THE WEEKLY TIMES 31<br />
Record double ton<br />
for boom cub Liam<br />
RYDE cricket sensation Liam Scott (pictured) underlined<br />
his potential by producing a record-breaking double century<br />
in NSW Premier Cricket action last weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> boom 17 year old all<br />
rounder became the first<br />
Sydney Cricket Club player<br />
to crack a double ton in<br />
third grade after smashing<br />
an unbeaten 201 against<br />
North Sydney last Saturday<br />
at Bon Andrews Oval.<br />
In doing so, the former<br />
Australian U/16s representative<br />
eclipsed the previous<br />
mark of 179 not out shared<br />
by Peter Smith (1995-96)<br />
and Jack Quint (179) back in<br />
1932-33.<br />
Scott - part of the exciting<br />
new Tigers’ breed making<br />
an impact on the NSW Premier<br />
Cricket scene - faced<br />
223 balls and hammered<br />
five sixes and 26 boundaries<br />
during his magnificent<br />
knock to help Sydney<br />
amass 6-374 before declaring<br />
after 73 overs.<br />
He shared an opening<br />
stand of 158 with Nick Taylor<br />
(69) and a third wicket<br />
union of 91 with Mayank<br />
Sharma (53) - pulverising<br />
the North Sydney attack to<br />
all parts of the ground with<br />
his aggressive strokeplay.<br />
It was Liam’s highest<br />
score for the Tigers in grade<br />
cricket and his maiden century.<br />
A Ryde-Hunters Hill Pirates<br />
junior product and<br />
former TWT Club Six/Ryde<br />
Sports Foundation Sports<br />
Star of the Year finalist, the<br />
emerging Scott helped the<br />
NSW U/17s claim a national<br />
title last year along with<br />
talented Tigers’ club mate<br />
Harry Manenti.<br />
Liam backed up his super<br />
knock by scoring 34 the<br />
following day in Sydney’s<br />
crushing win over North<br />
Sydney in an Under 21<br />
Poidevin-Gray Shield fixture<br />
at Birchgrove Oval.<br />
MEANWHILE Bermudan<br />
international Delray Rawlins<br />
and<br />
Suffan Hassan posted<br />
centuries for the Tigers<br />
against North Sydney in<br />
second grade action at<br />
Drummoyne Oval.<br />
Rawlins - player of the<br />
match in Sydney’s Kingsgrove<br />
Sports Twenty20 Cup<br />
championship triumph over<br />
Penrith at the SCG before<br />
Christmas - cracked a superb<br />
152 with Hassan compiling<br />
an unbeaten 115 in<br />
Sydney’s huge first day total<br />
of 5 dec 358.<br />
Reigning A.W Green<br />
Shield U/16 champions<br />
Sydney bowed out of the<br />
title race after a dramatic<br />
loss to Northern District last<br />
Sunday in a qualifying final<br />
at Birchgrove Oval.<br />
Chasing 208 for victory,<br />
the spirited Rangers<br />
reached the target in the<br />
47th over after an unbroken<br />
20 run stand for the ninth<br />
wicket between Jayden<br />
Camp (43 not out) and Nikhil<br />
Ahluwalia (4 not out).<br />
It was a gutsy effort by<br />
Northern who were reeling<br />
at 6-113 and 8-189 at one<br />
stage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rangers were beaten<br />
by Sydney during the preliminary<br />
rounds but Sunday’s<br />
triumph avenged<br />
last season’s Green Shield<br />
Grand Final loss to the Tigers<br />
in a small way.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Tigers will meet Parramatta<br />
in an U/21 Poidevin-<br />
Gray Shield qualifying final<br />
on February 11 at Old Kings<br />
Oval after blitzing North<br />
Sydney in the final preliminary<br />
round last Sunday.<br />

Pirates too strong for Yaralla<br />
HUNTERS HILL Pirates<br />
survived the<br />
heatwave conditions<br />
to down Yaralla in a<br />
City & Suburban cricket<br />
fitre at oddard<br />
Park Concord last<br />
weekend.<br />
Both clubs always produce<br />
a close contest and<br />
this was again the case for<br />
the latest clash.<br />
With the match reduced<br />
to 28 overs each due to<br />
the scorching heat, the Hillies<br />
elected to bat first and<br />
compiled 41 runs before<br />
the first wicket fell.<br />
With solid batting from<br />
the top order, the Pirates<br />
racked up a tally of 183<br />
for the loss of only seven<br />
wickets.<br />
Team captain Andrew<br />
Hobden (29) combined<br />
with fellow opener Ashley<br />
Emanuel (27) in a productive<br />
start and new man<br />
Arron Williams continued<br />
his good form with a fine<br />
knock of 53 - his highest<br />
ever score for the Pirates.<br />
Alex Miller hit 42 including<br />
a one over binge of<br />
four boundaries. Cameos<br />
were also put in by Rodney<br />
Bourgonjen (11) and Manish<br />
“Mandy” Misra (10).<br />
In reply, Yaralla piled on<br />
31 runs before losing their<br />
first wicket but Misra with<br />
the new ball persisted and<br />
took 2-10 of his six overs.<br />
Miller at the other end on<br />
the change after ‘Woodsie’<br />
grabbed a wicket off his<br />
first ball and ended up with<br />
figures of 2-24.<br />
Bryce Williams (Arron’s<br />
dad) came on with spin<br />
and following Alex’s lead<br />
took a wicket first ball to<br />
leave the Yaralla team reeling<br />
at 5-54. Some keen Pirates’<br />
fielding resulted in a<br />
couple of run outs, just to<br />
keep the opposition from<br />
gaining any momentum.<br />
It was left to Andy Ball<br />
and Roy Maggio to seal<br />
victory for Hunters Hill with<br />
a wicket a piece - the final<br />
wicket falling on the last<br />
ball to dismiss Yaralla for<br />
142.<br />
Birchgrove’s premiership-winning D Grade team of 1981 featured a powerful front row of Frank Mooy, hooker<br />
Grade Laykoski and skipper Rod Sironen.<br />
Reunion for Birchgrove Scorpions<br />
BIRCHGROVE Scorpions Junior Rugby League Club - a force to be reckoned with in the<br />
almain nior eae drin the s and earl s is holdin a renion on atrda<br />
erar at almain olin l from m<br />
A breeding ground for<br />
many a Tigers player over<br />
the years, event organisers<br />
invite all former players, officials<br />
and supporters to attend<br />
the get-together.<br />
Club stalwart and long serving<br />
president Geoff Large<br />
said the Scorpions enjoyed a<br />
wealth of success - winning<br />
numerous premiership and<br />
Club Championship trophies -<br />
before disbanding in 1987.<br />
Birchgrove Juniors were a<br />
foundation club of the Balmain<br />
Junior League in 1908<br />
and competed briefly in the<br />
1930s before reforming as<br />
Birchgrove Scorpions in 1967.<br />
Experienced wingers John<br />
Davidson and Wayne Miranda<br />
were the first Birchgrove juniors<br />
to establish themselves<br />
with Balmain in the NSWRL<br />
premiership during the late<br />
1970s and early ‘80s.<br />
Miranda, a former Australian<br />
water polo rep, booted 252<br />
goals in 91 games for the Tigers<br />
and followed in the footsteps<br />
of his father Ray, who<br />
played with Balmain in 1942.<br />
Davidson, one of the toughest<br />
wingers to play in the<br />
NSWRL premiership, joined<br />
the Scorpions as a 15 year old<br />
and often played three matches<br />
on the one afternoon with<br />
the Birchgrove senior teams.<br />
Other Scorpions to earn their<br />
first grade spurs include two<br />
time Grand Final forward Kevin<br />
Hardwick; wingers Stephen<br />
Kerr and Garry Mara; props<br />
Mike Marketo, Mark Clinton<br />
and John Bilbija; halves Mick<br />
Campbell and Peter Camroux;<br />
fullbacks Peter Grounds and<br />
Rod Pethybridge; half Mark<br />
Ko’cass, Bruce Parnell and<br />
utility Jeff Earl.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Scorpions also fielded<br />
a host of representative players<br />
that made the grade in<br />
Gary Best, Laurie Cameron,<br />
Rod Sironen, Grade Laykoski,<br />
Craig Nolan, Peter O’Toole,<br />
Paul Garufi, Ken and Alan Hill,<br />
Brett Achurch, John Hanneman,<br />
Glenn Pearce, Steve<br />
Flecknoe, Mark Livingstone,<br />
Glenn Champley, Alan Beattie,<br />
Kevin “Stuff” Walters and centres<br />
Glen and Ross Thomson.<br />
Beattie and the Thomson<br />
brothers were the longestserving<br />
Scorpions - starting<br />
their careers in 1967 and<br />
graduating to the Balmain<br />
U/23 squad.<br />
Brothers Robert and Geoffrey<br />
Large chalked up 16<br />
years service while twins Jeff<br />
and Will Arthur were long term<br />
players.<br />
Each season the club presented<br />
a Coach’s Club Champion<br />
Award for the Player of<br />
the Year and recipients included<br />
current Australian womens<br />
water polo coach Greg<br />
McFadden, Alan Beattie, Tony<br />
Pearson, John Davidson,<br />
Grant Samson, Robert Mc-<br />
Jannett and John Hanneman<br />
and Mark Champley.<br />
Another fine player was Gary<br />
Gallen, father of Sharks’ international<br />
forward Paul Gallen,<br />
who captained the Birchgrove<br />
B Grade side during the late<br />
1970s.<br />
Birchgrove produced some<br />
fine coaches in their history<br />
and they include Joe Palmer,<br />
Allan Barnsfield, Glen O’Neill,<br />
Glen Charters, Brian Battin,<br />
Peter Large, Keith Perkins,<br />
Tony Newell, Rob Love, Les<br />
Ison, Frank Borg, Roy Totino,<br />
Ken and Barry Hogg, Robert<br />
Alston, Michael Mulry,<br />
Ray Swanson, Gavin Hoey,<br />
