Candidates Final Appeals<br />

BY THE WEEKLY TIMES ON-THE-SPOT TEAM<br />

Bennelong voters go to the polls this Saturday after<br />

five weeks of intensive campaigning by twelve candidates<br />

vying for the seat vacated by Liberals John Alexander<br />

OAM over his dual citizenship doubts.<br />

Mr Alexander is recontesting the seat with his main opponent the<br />

former NSW State Premier Kristina Keneally which has seen the<br />

big guns from both major parties bombarding the electorate daily.<br />

<strong>The</strong> by-election has given an opportunity for a large line-up of<br />

new parties and independents to introduce themselves to the<br />

electorate and the community as a whole including Corey Bernardi’s<br />

Australian Conservatives.<br />

Meadowbank TAFE to be centre piece<br />

of new education precinct - Dominello<br />

MEADOWBANK TAFE will not be sold off and will be a centre piece of a new<br />

educational precinct, Ryde MP Victor Dominello announced on Friday.<br />

Mr Dominello made the announcement at the TAFE site alongside the New South<br />

Wales Minister for TAFE Adam Marshall and Bennelong Liberal candidate John Alexander<br />

but stopped short of announcing new schools at the site.<br />

“I look forward to providing the community<br />

with more details as we progress this exciting<br />

initiative next year,” Mr Dominello said.<br />

His announcement follows a recent community<br />

forum hosted in West Ryde by City of Ryde<br />

Mayor and state Labor candidate Jerome Laxale<br />

where the opposition’s spokesperson on TAFE<br />

Prue Car warned of a “sell off” of Meadowbank<br />

TAFE to property developers.<br />

Mr Dominello said Meadowbank TAFE will not<br />

be sold off.<br />

“Meadowbank TAFE is not for sale and not a<br />

blade of grass will be sold to any private interests<br />

while I am the local MP,” he said.<br />

Mr Marshall also squashed speculation that<br />

there will be staff cuts and building closures<br />

when the educational precinct is being built.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> proposed educational precinct is not expected<br />

to have any impact on TAFE staffing and<br />

measures will be taken to ensure there is minimal<br />

disruption,” Mr Marshall said.<br />

“In fact, it will help ensure facilities at Meadowbank<br />

TAFE can be modernised and continue<br />

to provide the best services to give local people<br />

4 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 13 <strong>December</strong>, <strong>2017</strong><br />

Council ‘facts’ on<br />

Ann Thorn Park<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

I wish to point out a<br />

number of inaccuracies<br />

in your story published 6<br />

<strong>December</strong> <strong>2017</strong> ‘Furious<br />

Meadowbank residents<br />

fight back as development<br />

threatens park’.<br />

It is important that residents<br />

know the facts in a<br />

matter of concern to all.<br />

Firstly, at no time did<br />

residents “yell” at Council<br />

staff. Residents were<br />

upset at the loss of a<br />

small portion of the parkland,<br />

which Council has<br />

always opposed, but<br />

they were not rude.<br />

Construction works<br />

between 30 November<br />

<strong>2017</strong> and Monday 4 <strong>December</strong><br />

<strong>2017</strong> were undertaken<br />

by contractors<br />

Diona Pty Ltd on behalf<br />

of the Holdmark Property<br />

Group at Ann Thorn Park<br />

to relocate a Sydney Water<br />

Corporation owned<br />

water main.<br />

At that time, Council immediately<br />

advised residents<br />

by hand delivered<br />

letter that work would<br />

take place. <strong>The</strong> letter included<br />

the history of the<br />

development process<br />

that dates back to 2013.<br />

<strong>The</strong> statement that residents<br />

were informed that<br />

use of the parkland “is<br />

currently before a State<br />

Government Joint Regional<br />

Planning Panel”<br />

is incorrect. Residents<br />

were advised that the<br />

entire Holdmark development<br />

was previously<br />

approved by the State<br />

Government’s Planning<br />

Assessment Commission<br />

and Joint Regional Planning<br />

Panel.<br />

I would like to restate<br />

some other pertinent<br />

facts relating to this de-<br />

- 6 and 13 <strong>December</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

Letters to the Editor<br />

velopment:<br />

<strong>The</strong> relocation of the<br />

water main forms part of<br />

preparation for essential<br />

drainage and stormwater<br />

works to alleviate flooding<br />

in the area. It is the<br />

responsibility of the contractor<br />

to notify residents<br />

of the works on behalf<br />

of the utility provider.<br />

When Council is advised<br />

of these works, it always<br />

endeavours to keep residents<br />

informed in a timely<br />

manner.<br />

It is correct that State<br />

Government authority<br />

over major development<br />

approval and utilities like<br />

drainage and power supply<br />

always takes precedence<br />

over local government<br />

Council controls.<br />

Council has objected to<br />

the size and scale of the<br />

Holdmark development<br />

from the start. Council<br />

is not working “with” the<br />

State Government on this<br />

and supports the residents’<br />

position.<br />

Residents can be assured<br />

that Council will do<br />

everything in its power to<br />

advocate on their behalf<br />

for locally sensitive, wellconsidered<br />

development<br />

to meet the demands of<br />

population growth that<br />

will deliver sustainable,<br />

well planned communities.<br />

Parkland is a<br />

precious amenity<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

Thank you for your<br />

coverage of the Ann<br />

Thorn Park in Meadowbank<br />

last week<br />

(TWT 06/12/17).<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact that so many<br />

residents braved the<br />

heavy rain to voice their<br />

concerns over the possible<br />

destruction of the<br />

park with a developerdriven<br />

roadway is testament<br />

to the depth of<br />

their anger.<br />

I am writing to assure<br />

locals that the Greens<br />

Councillors, Edwina<br />

Clifton and myself, fully<br />

support them in their<br />

protest.<br />

Parkland is precious<br />

both of itself and as an<br />

amenity; in that particular<br />

area over-development<br />

has annihilated<br />

green space. I know<br />

that Clr Purcell also<br />

stands with us on this<br />

matter.<br />

Clr CHRISTOPHER GORDON<br />

Deputy Mayor, City of<br />

Ryde<br />

Open space for<br />

Meadowbank<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

I am writing in response<br />

to the news<br />

that, “Ann Thorn Park,<br />

in Meadowbank, would<br />

have its trees destroyed<br />

and a road put through<br />

it”, as told by an excavation<br />

contractor in late<br />

November to local residents.<br />

Firstly, this is no way for<br />

development news to be<br />

brought to public attention.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are policies and<br />

procedures that must<br />

be met to ensure proper<br />

communication and<br />

proper consultation.<br />

Secondly, no such proposals<br />

have been formally<br />

brought before council<br />

for consideration. As it<br />

stands, there is a need<br />

for works to ameliorate<br />

traffic from the proposed<br />

Bowden Street traffic<br />

lights, but nothing has<br />

been formally proposed<br />

as of today.<br />

Thirdly, how much do<br />

residents of Meadowbank<br />

have to put up with?<br />

<strong>The</strong> state planning bodies,<br />

under the direction of<br />

state MPs, have made a<br />

mockery of local planning<br />

laws, and as a result, we<br />

have a less than optimum<br />

result in Meadowbank -<br />

with little thought given<br />

to infrastructure, public<br />

amenity or open spaces.<br />

It is everything wrong<br />

with this state’s planning<br />

policies and it just cannot<br />

continue.<br />

Ryde’s Labor councillors<br />

will be fully behind<br />

Meadowbank residents<br />

in finding the best solution<br />

to hang onto their little<br />

bit of green space that<br />

Hunters Hill under attack<br />

again - local Planning Panels<br />

UNDER RECENT<br />

changes to the Environmental<br />

Planning<br />

and Assessment Act<br />

1979, rushed through<br />

Parliament, Local<br />

Planning Panels (also<br />

known as IHAPs) will<br />

become mandatory for<br />

councils in the Greater<br />

Sydney Region and for<br />

Wollongong City Council,<br />

including Hunters<br />

Hill from March 1, 2018.<br />

This outrageous action<br />

by the NSW Government<br />

will see elected councillors<br />

have no say in determining<br />

development applications<br />

in the communities in which<br />

they live.<br />

This ill-conceived legislation<br />

is justified by Minister<br />

Roberts as to address the<br />

risk of corruption?<br />

Or is it just another attempt<br />

by the State to circumvent<br />

local democracy<br />

so as to put development<br />

before community?<br />

This will create a serious<br />

challenge as to how<br />

we continue to protect the<br />

unique built and natural environmental<br />

heritage, character<br />

and sense of place of<br />

our municipality.<br />

<strong>The</strong> state government has<br />

failed to consult or to make<br />

a case for mandating these<br />

panels.<br />

Most councils including<br />

Hunters Hill already have<br />

in place robust systems to<br />

assess Development Applications<br />

in an effective and<br />

transparent manner.<br />

* * *<br />

COUNCILS THAT current-<br />

To <strong>The</strong> POINT<br />

With<br />

ROSS WILLIAMS<br />

ly have voluntary IHAPs are<br />

shocked by the interference<br />

in what should be a locally<br />

determined process being<br />

taken over by the state and<br />

out of the hands of local<br />

communities.<br />

Hunters Hill Council wrote<br />

to the Minister requesting<br />

the government repeal this<br />

legislation and that he explain<br />

these changes, but<br />

Minister Roberts continues<br />

to refuse to consult with<br />

Hunters Hill Council.<br />

He has not given any<br />

justification for his government’s<br />

actions nor to my<br />

knowledge the courtesy of<br />

a reply.<br />

What this legislation does<br />

is to prohibit our elected<br />

representatives from taking<br />

any part in Development<br />

Applications and handing<br />

the decision to an unelected<br />

panel, comprising three<br />

members appointed by the<br />

Minister and one community<br />

representative appointed<br />

by the Council.<br />

<strong>The</strong> panel will not be accountable<br />

to the Hunters<br />

Hill community but to the<br />

state government.<br />

* * *<br />

THE SITUATION is made<br />

worse by these government<br />

appointees, such as<br />

architects and town planners,<br />

being drawn from the<br />

development industry.<br />

How can these so called<br />

“technical experts” be considered<br />

as impartial or independent?<br />

<strong>The</strong> forced introduction of<br />

Local Planning Panels will<br />

create unnecessary additional<br />

bureaucratic process<br />

and will introduce additional<br />

professional and administrative<br />

costs on councils<br />

and their rate payers.<br />

By the Governments own<br />

“Fact Sheet” these costs<br />

could be $100,000 to local<br />

communities (in Hunters<br />

Hill it is estimated to be<br />

$60,000).<br />

This is money that could<br />

otherwise be spent on local<br />

community priorities.<br />

At the last week’s Local<br />

Government NSW Conference<br />

involving all councils<br />

from across the state, a<br />

motion was overwhelmingly<br />

passed “calling on the NSW<br />

government to revoke the<br />

legislation that mandates<br />

IHAPS (Local Planning Panels)”.<br />

Further the President of<br />

LG NSW has written to<br />

Ministers on behalf of NSW<br />

councils expressing strident<br />

opposition to Local Planning<br />

Panels (IHAPs) and<br />

denouncing the erosion of<br />

local democracy with the<br />

imposition of these Panels.<br />

ROSS<br />

Councillor<br />

WILLIAMS<br />

on Hunters<br />

is a<br />

Hill<br />

Council.<br />

Councillors vote to<br />

scrap parking meters!<br />

THE WEEKLY TIMES<br />

has won the fight to<br />

scrap the cash grab<br />

parking meters at<br />

Buffalo Creek Reserve.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Hunters Hill<br />

Council voted on Tuesday<br />

night to remove the<br />

parking meters from July<br />

1 next year, subject to<br />

a feasibility report from<br />

General Manager Barry<br />

Smith.<br />

Only Mayor Mark Bennett<br />

voted against the<br />

motion to remove the<br />

parking meters – which<br />

would see the loss of<br />

around $40,000 per year<br />

in income – when it was<br />

proposed by Clr Zac<br />

Miles, who supports <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong>’ campaign<br />

to get rid of them.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se meters were<br />

installed as a revenue<br />

measure and the park<br />

has suffered a loss of<br />

patronage, it is empty !”<br />

Clr Miles said.<br />

Deputy Mayor Ross<br />

Williams spoke of the<br />

strong support for their<br />

removal from TWT readers.<br />

“We had 700 people<br />

pack the Town Hall, all<br />

very much opposed to<br />

parking meters in Hunters<br />

Hill,” he said.<br />

“It is a real issue and<br />

I share the same view<br />

about the parking meters<br />

at Clarkes Point.”<br />

General Manager<br />

Barry Smith said Hunters<br />

Hill could be sued for<br />

breach of contract if the<br />

meters are scrapped and<br />

warned of the impact a<br />

loss of revenue would<br />

have on the council’s<br />

HUNTERS HILL NEWS<br />

budget.<br />

“That position will be<br />

worse, not only for this<br />

year but for the entire<br />

long term financial plan if<br />

this motion is adopted,”<br />

he said.<br />

Councillor Elizabeth<br />

Krassoi said other income<br />

options could be<br />

considered.<br />

“By July we can find a<br />

lot of No Stopping signs<br />

we can make money out<br />

of.”<br />

RADIO ACTIVE Nelson<br />

Parade will be discussed<br />

by council staff,<br />

residents and government<br />

officials at a public<br />

meeting.<br />

Councillors voted<br />

unanimously to host the<br />

meeting early next year<br />

at Hunters Hill Town in<br />

response to a Mayoral<br />

Minute and reports that<br />

property values in and<br />

around the contaminated<br />

Hunters Hill site have<br />

dropped by around $50<br />

million.<br />

<strong>The</strong> radio active and<br />

other contaminated<br />

waste has been known<br />

to the council and governments<br />

for at least<br />

ten years but attempts<br />

to remove it have failed<br />

as an alternative, politically<br />

acceptable, dumping<br />

ground has not been<br />

found.<br />

“This is a political football,<br />

not a technical issue<br />

and we need to write<br />

to Lane Cove MP Anthony<br />

Roberts to accelerate<br />

this, ” Deputy Mayor<br />

Ross Williams said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> council is expected<br />

to invite representatives<br />

from the Environmental<br />

Protection<br />

Authority and Planning<br />

NSW to the meeting<br />

alongside Mr Roberts<br />

and the Nelson Parade<br />

Action Group.<br />

* * *<br />

A PUBLIC MEETING<br />

will be hosted by Hunters<br />

Hill Council in February<br />

to discuss any updates<br />

on a proposed retail and<br />

residential development<br />

at the Gladesville Shopping<br />

Village.<br />

<strong>The</strong> meeting is expected<br />

to provide details<br />

on a planning proposal,<br />

which will be considered<br />

by the state government.<br />

“At the moment it is<br />

not even a concept,”<br />

Deputy Mayor Ross Williams<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> current situation<br />

is difficult to understand<br />

at a community level<br />

and we could be looking<br />

at a 20 storey building of<br />

240 units.”<br />

Councillors will consider<br />

relocating the heritage<br />

cottage on the site<br />

at 10 Cowell Street and<br />

proposed sites include<br />

Heydon Park, Valentia<br />

Street Reserve, Gladesville<br />

Reserve and Boronia<br />

Park.

LGNSW Conference<br />

conference<br />

<strong>2017</strong>:<br />

blasts forced mergers<br />

An Overview<br />

CITY of Sydney Labor Clr Linda Scott (pictured) has been elected<br />

as the new President of the NSW Local Government Association.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

Local Government<br />

correspondent at the<br />

Association’s Annual<br />

Conference in Sydney<br />

this month - Phil Jenkyn<br />

OAM - also reports that<br />

City of Canada Bay’s<br />

Mayor Angelo Tsirekas<br />

(ALP) has been elected<br />

Vice President, representing<br />

our local Metro<br />

Urban area.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> election of the<br />

new Board signalled a<br />

significant shift towards<br />

the Labor Party,” Mr<br />

Jenkyn reports.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Liberal/National<br />

Party candidate for the<br />

position of President Cr<br />

Gail Giles-Gidney was<br />

defeated and there are<br />

only five representatives<br />

of the Coalition on<br />

the Board of 19 members.<br />

“This devastatingly<br />

poor result for the Coalition<br />

follows a similar<br />

poor performance in<br />

the recent local government<br />

elections.”<br />

Mr Jenkyn said motions<br />

passed at the<br />

conference reflected<br />

council and community<br />

anger against the state<br />

government over forced<br />

mergers.<br />

He said conference<br />

Motion 85 on forced<br />

an amalgamation with<br />

one or more councils is<br />

proposed there must be<br />

a binding referendum in<br />

each council area asking<br />

voters if they want<br />

their council to be amalgamated<br />

or not.<br />

In order for an amalgamation<br />

to go ahead,<br />

each council area<br />

would need to achieve<br />

a majority vote in favour<br />

of the amalgamation.<br />

“This reflects the recently<br />

defeated Bill<br />

passed by the Upper<br />

House on the same<br />

idea Local Government<br />

Amendment (Amalgamation<br />

Referendums)<br />

Bill <strong>2017</strong>; to allow indi-<br />

Jenkyn said.<br />

On the issue of Mandatory<br />

the President to campaign<br />

<strong>The</strong> first Local Government NSW (LGNSW) Association Conference held following<br />

the forced amalgamation of councils by the NSW State Government took place 4 - 6<br />

<strong>December</strong> <strong>2017</strong> in Sydney. <strong>The</strong> election of the new Board signalled a significant shift<br />

towards the Labor Party.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Liberal/National Party candidate for the position of President Cr Gail Giles-<br />

Gidney was defeated, and there are only five representatives of the Coalition on the<br />

performance in the recent local government elections.<br />

<strong>The</strong> result of the election was as follows:<br />

Battle For Bennelong<br />

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

PM urges Bennelong<br />

voters to return JA<br />

PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has used his solo appearance on the<br />

ABC’s political panel program, Q&A, to plead for Bennelong voters to<br />

again elect Liberal candidate John Alexander to the seat.<br />

“Of course John Alexander<br />

is recontesting<br />

Bennelong on the<br />

weekend,” Mr Turnbull<br />

said.<br />

“Everyone from Bennelong<br />

that is watching,<br />

remember to vote for<br />

John Alexander - Australia’s<br />

champion, Bennelong’s<br />

champion.”<br />

Mr Turnbull has so far<br />

made two visits to the<br />

Bennelong electorate,<br />

the most recent on the<br />

weekend to Top Ryde<br />

where he met and chatted<br />

with local shoppers<br />

and business owners.<br />

He was expected to<br />

visit again on Tuesday<br />

afternoon as <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> was going to<br />

press.<br />

During his Top Ryde<br />

visit, the PM criticised<br />

Beijing for interfering<br />

in domestic politics, a<br />

stance thought to be<br />

widely popular amongst<br />

the Australian public but<br />

possibly less so among<br />

Bennelong voters, with<br />

21 per cent of Chinese<br />

heritage according to<br />

the latest census data.<br />

He also launched into<br />

a stinging attack of Mr<br />

Alexander’s opponent,<br />

Labor’s star candidate<br />

Kristina Keneally.<br />

“She failed the people<br />

of Bennelong as (NSW)<br />

Premier,” Mr Turnbull<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re’s no question<br />

about that. She cancelled<br />

the north-west<br />

metro, she enabled<br />

massive development<br />

and didn’t build the infrastructure<br />

to enable<br />

the community to remain<br />

liveable.<br />

“It was a colossal failure<br />

in policy, I think everybody<br />

recognises that.<br />

So she failed Bennelong<br />

then.”<br />

But Ms Keneally shot<br />

back, accusing the PM<br />

of failing to bring hope<br />

or answers to the people<br />

of Bennelong and<br />

instead “he offered<br />

attacks, he offered<br />

smears and he offered<br />

lies. It’s pathetic from<br />

the Prime Minister.”<br />

_“Remember when<br />

Malcolm Turnbull came<br />

to office there was so<br />

much hope for him?”<br />

she said.<br />

“He used to stand up<br />

for what he believed in.<br />

He’s shrunken in the<br />

job. He’s a shrunken<br />

Prime Minister.”<br />

Prior to appearing on<br />

Q&A, Mr Turnbull said<br />

losing the Bennelong<br />

by-election would make<br />

governing the country<br />

difficult.<br />

“We’d be down to 75<br />

votes-all in the house<br />

and it would be very<br />

precarious,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PM then launched<br />

into an attack of Labor<br />

candidate Kristina Keneally,<br />

who has accused<br />

Mr Turnbull of alarming<br />

rhetoric amounting to<br />

“China-phobia”.<br />

“Kristina Keneally I see<br />

is trying to play this up<br />

and suggest that I of<br />

all people am anti-Chinese.<br />

That just shows<br />

how desperate she is,”<br />

Mr Turnbull said.<br />

“If Kristina Keneally<br />

were to win in Bennelong<br />

not only would you<br />

be allowing her to do in<br />

Bennelong what she did<br />

in NSW, you’d be bringing<br />

Bill Shorten closer to<br />

the prime ministership.”<br />

Former<br />

PM’s visit<br />

Mr Turnbull has been<br />

one of many Liberal<br />

Party luminaries to visit<br />

Bennelong during the<br />

campaign in recent<br />

weeks.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re have been<br />

sightings of former PM<br />

and member for Warringah,<br />

Tony Abbott, and<br />

recently re-elected New<br />

England MP Barnaby<br />

Joyce during their ‘under<br />

the radar’ visits to<br />

It’s all smiles from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who backed the Liberal Party during Monday night’s appearance<br />

on the ABC’s Q & A program.<br />

Bennelong.<br />

And front-benchers<br />

who have actively<br />

campaigned alongside<br />

Mr Alexander include<br />

Energy Minister Josh<br />

Frydenberg, Treasurer<br />

Scott Morrison, Deputy<br />

PM and Foreign Affairs<br />

Minister Julie Bishop,<br />

Justice Minister Michael<br />

Keenan and Social Services<br />

Minister Christian<br />

Porter.<br />

So it came as no surprise<br />

that former prime<br />

minister John Howard,<br />

who held the seat of<br />

Bennelong for 33 years<br />

before he was unseated<br />

by Maxine McKew in<br />

2007, also made an appearance.<br />

“It’s not going to be a<br />

walkover, it’s going to<br />

be very tough,” he conceded.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Labor party is<br />

throwing massive re-<br />

sources. <strong>The</strong>y’ve got a<br />

candidate who they may<br />

think is very popular but<br />

there’s a lot of people<br />

who remember she was<br />

the last of a long line of<br />

failed Labor premiers of<br />

NSW.<br />

“You’ve got the resources<br />

of the Labor<br />

Party, of GetUp!, of the<br />

union and a candidate<br />

for the Labor Party who<br />

has a high profile.”<br />

He praised Mr Alexander’s<br />

honesty in renouncing<br />

his British citizenship<br />

ties, Mr Howard<br />

said the former tennis<br />

star was as “dinky-di”<br />

as they come.<br />

“It is unbelievable<br />

when you think that his<br />

tralia before WWI and<br />

he represented Australia<br />

in the Davis Cup,” Mr<br />

there’s a doubt but it’s<br />

father emigrated to Aus-<br />

Howard said.<br />

“If ever<br />

dinky-di<br />

John Alexander.<br />

there was<br />

Aussie,<br />

And<br />

a<br />

it’s<br />

yet<br />

the law.”<br />

racist, a bigot, homophobe,<br />

Islamaphobe<br />

but I would never want<br />

to be called a politician,”<br />

Mr Robinson<br />

said.<br />

“That’s one of the<br />

lowest words you can<br />

call anyone. It’s time<br />

for a democratic disruption,<br />

time to vote<br />

career politicians out.”<br />

Mr Robinson spent<br />

the first 30 years of his<br />

life in Willoughby and<br />

attended Marist Brothers<br />

North Shore in Miller<br />

Street, North Shore.<br />

After completing<br />

studies at UNSW, he<br />

specialised in orthopaedic<br />

surgery and<br />

continues to work as<br />

an orthopaedic surgeon<br />

in various states.<br />

Tony has strong family<br />

ties to Sydney and if<br />

elected, will relocate to<br />

the seat of Bennelong.<br />

Tony is married with<br />

three adult children<br />

and a recent grandfather.<br />

He was a proud supporter<br />

of the North<br />

Sydney Rugby League<br />

Bears, unfortunately<br />

now defunct.<br />

Mr Robinson was<br />

seething over the Liberal<br />

Party’s decision to<br />

place him last on their<br />

‘how to vote’ materials.<br />

He said the Liberal<br />

Party was effectively<br />

playing a game of “diversified<br />

multi-brand<br />

marketing” and this<br />

represented a new<br />

strategy in politics:<br />

“You produce one<br />

product and sell it under<br />

different brands.”<br />

“Strategists at the<br />

LNP dangle the Nationals<br />

as a carrot for<br />

country voters, while<br />

Australian Conservatives<br />

is the brand for<br />

frustrated, conservative<br />

Liberals,” he said.<br />

“In the end, it all ends<br />

up with Team Turnbull.<br />

Ever wondered why in<br />

2016 - and again in the<br />

Bennelong by-election<br />

- the Liberals put ALA<br />

last on their HTV cards,<br />

behind Labor, Greens<br />

and hard-left activist<br />

groups?”<br />

Mr Robinson said<br />

that in contrast, the<br />

Liberals and Australian<br />

Conservatives were<br />

preferencing eachother,<br />

with Fred Nile’s CDP<br />

“as the middle token.”<br />

“A vote for the Australian<br />

Conservatives<br />

means more of the<br />

same for the old boys,<br />

who pull the strings at<br />

LNP headquarters,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And more of the<br />

same for Australia:<br />

More Islam, globalisation,<br />

bureaucracy,<br />

immigration, welfareshoppers,<br />

political<br />

correctness and more<br />

public debt.”<br />

Tony Robinson encourages<br />

voters in<br />

Bennelong to vote 1<br />

for ALA and adds: “<strong>The</strong><br />

preferences are up to<br />

each voter to decide.<br />

Today Liberals and Labor<br />

are both bad choices<br />

for our country.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> ALA’s website<br />

says the party’s members<br />

are “civic-minded<br />

Australians” who cannot<br />

remain passive<br />

while “damage is done<br />

to our nation, our communities<br />

and our families.”<br />

It says members of<br />

Australian Liberty Alliance<br />

make a stand for<br />

what is right, just and<br />

not negotiable; values<br />

our forefathers worked<br />

and died for.<br />

“We give civic-minded<br />

Australians the opportunity<br />

to become<br />

part of a new movement,<br />

a political party<br />

that offers Australian<br />

voters a new vision<br />

and hope for the future.”<br />

Christian voters respond to Christian<br />

Democrats religious freedom policies<br />

RELIGIOUS freedom has emerged as a key issue for Christians in the lead up to this<br />

Saturday’s election day in Bennelong.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> has learned<br />

that many Christians from a non-<br />

English background will put the<br />

issue first when they vote, as<br />

concerns emerge about how<br />

same sex marriage laws will impact<br />

on Christian churches.<br />

<strong>The</strong> concerns are expected to<br />

be a vote winner for <strong>The</strong> Christian<br />

Democrat candidate Gui<br />

Dong (William) Cao, who also<br />

stands for grassroots democracy<br />

and local government rights.<br />

Christian Democrats State Director<br />

Craig Hall told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> that a vote for candidate<br />

Gui Dong (William) Cao is also a<br />

vote for traditional family values.<br />

“Top of our list is traditional<br />

marriage , freedom of religion,<br />

freedom of speech as well as<br />

traditional family values,” Mr Hall<br />

said.<br />

Mr Hall hopes voters will remember<br />

to support Ryde has<br />

from party leader the Rev Fred<br />

Nile.<br />

“We hope voters will recall how<br />

Reverend Fred Nile MLC stood<br />

by voters in Ryde and Hunters<br />

Hill to fight against forced council<br />

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 Christian<br />

Democrats philosophy is<br />

support for older and retired<br />

people.<br />

“This means we will fight for<br />

quality funding for aged cut and<br />

we oppose cuts to services to<br />

aged care,” Mr Hall said.<br />

While the Christian Democrats<br />

are unashamedly Christian in<br />

policy and ethics, the party is<br />

strictly non-denomenational.<br />

“We don’t favour any denomination<br />

of ethnicity and we hope<br />

to have the support of the Orthodox<br />

Christian community<br />

in Bennelong as well as from<br />

Armenian, Chinese and Korean<br />

speaking Christians.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christian Democrats are<br />

expected to give first preferences<br />

to the Australian Conservatives.

Australian Conservatives’<br />

debut in Bennelong<br />

Better, not bigger<br />

THERE’S a new force in the Australian political<br />

landscape, the Australian Conservatives, which<br />

will be running its first ever candidate Joram Richa<br />

at the Bennelong by-election this weekend.<br />

Richa, a 25-year-old<br />

Maronite Catholic from<br />

Hunters Hill, was a captain’s<br />

pick by party founder,<br />

South Australian Senator<br />

Cory Bernardi.<br />

“We do need principles<br />

and integrity back in our<br />

political system. We need<br />

to give people faith in politics<br />

again,” Mr Richa said.<br />

“Secondly, there’s a<br />

growing debt crisis, a<br />

looming debt crisis that<br />

Australia faces in the very<br />

near future.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> next major issue is<br />

the issue of family and the<br />

promotion of stronger families<br />

and also the issue of<br />

radical gender theory that<br />

is attacking our childrens’<br />

minds.”<br />

He said the Labor and<br />

Liberal parties had failed<br />

the people of Bennelong<br />

“in a number of ways unfortunately<br />

but firstly just<br />

addressing the rising cost<br />

of living.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong>ir campaign has been<br />

focused more so on attacking<br />

eachother than actually<br />

addressing these issues,”<br />

Mr Richa said.<br />

“I suppose the other issue<br />

is the majority of the people<br />

in Bennelong voted ‘No’<br />

in the same-sex marriage<br />

survey – there is a strong<br />

conservative voice in the<br />

electorate and this voice is<br />

being completely ignored in<br />

the current campaign.”<br />

“That’s what I’m here for,”<br />

Mr Richa said, adding he<br />

would “absolutely” represent<br />

that voice.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Australian Conservatives<br />

are impressively transparent<br />

on policy platform.<br />

Apart from traditional pillars<br />

of conservatism that<br />

form the key planks of its<br />

manifesto, the party is also<br />

advocating the biggest and<br />

most obvious ‘no brainer’ in<br />

the discussion around energy<br />

policy.<br />

At the end of November,<br />

Senator Bernardi moved in<br />

the Australian Senate to repeal<br />

the blanket ban on exploring<br />

a nuclear fuel cycle<br />

for Australia.<br />

Senator Bernardi explained<br />

to the senate that<br />

his home state of South<br />

Australia was the equivalent<br />

of a world superpower in<br />

uranium resources, and for<br />

its own economic benefit<br />

needed a nuclear fuel cycle<br />

to grow the state economy.<br />

He said the Bill aimed to<br />

correct an “act of economic<br />

vandalism” and “environmental<br />

self-harm” perpetrated<br />

by the Australian<br />

Greens.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y pretend that the<br />

environment is their thing,<br />

but it’s not. It’s actually<br />

about economic vandalism<br />

– that’s their thing,” Senator<br />

Bernardi said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> most telling argument<br />

is that 19 years ago,<br />

they dogmatically insisted<br />

that there be a prohibition,<br />

on even the investigation,<br />

on even entertaining the<br />

thought of nuclear power in<br />

this country.”<br />

Mr Richa is placed 10th<br />

on the 12-candidate ballot<br />

paper for the Bennelong<br />

by-election.<br />

Dick Smith supports & endorses<br />

Sustainable Australia Party<br />

Famous Australian environmentalist<br />

and entrepreneur Dick Smith is an<br />

enthusiastic supporter of Sustainable<br />

Australia and has joined as a member.<br />

He endorses the Party’s Bennelong<br />

candidate Wesley Folitarik who<br />

claims to be the only local residential<br />

candidate living in Bennelong.<br />

Wesley is a professional urban planner<br />

and a passionate advocate for<br />

the Bennelong community having a<br />

greater say on the future to ensure<br />

better, not bigger development.<br />

He says the four main issues are<br />

jobs, housing, planning and the environment.<br />

Wesley says “I’m serious about secure<br />

jobs in a more diverse economy,<br />

affordable housing for first home<br />

buyers and renters, better planning to<br />

save Bennelong from overdevelopment<br />

and a sustainable environment<br />

and population”.<br />

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

a visit to Meadowbank this week. She is pictured with TAFE organiser Rob Long and Senator<br />

Doug Cameron. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO.<br />

PRIVATE healthcare<br />

patients in Bennelong<br />

are jumping the queue<br />

ahead of Medicare<br />

patients, Bennelong’s<br />

Labor candidate Kristina<br />

Keneally said last<br />

week.<br />

Ms Keneally said more<br />

than 4,000 people in Bennelong<br />

are suffering long<br />

waits in a system that favours<br />

those who can afford<br />

to pay privately.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Labor candidate<br />

based her comments on<br />

the latest Australian Institute<br />

of Health and Welfare’s<br />

“Private Health Insurance<br />

Use in Australian<br />

Hospitals” which revealed<br />

that public patients wait on<br />

average four times longer<br />

than people using private<br />

health insurance to have<br />

elective surgery.<br />

“Today we find out that<br />

people who can afford private<br />

health insurance are<br />

skipping the queue and<br />

public patients are forced<br />

to wait up to four times<br />

longer for surgery,” Ms Keneally<br />

alleged.<br />

“Here in Bennelong there<br />

are 4,000 people waiting in<br />

pain for important elective<br />

surgeries.”<br />

Ms Keneally promoted<br />

Labor’s policy of equal opportunity<br />

for all patients,<br />

regardless of their insurance.<br />

Keneally says “China-phobia”<br />

may backfire on PM Turnbull<br />

Labor’s star candidate in the Bennelong by-election,<br />

Kristina Keneally, says the electorate’s Asian communities<br />

are alarmed at anti-China rhetoric led by Prime<br />

Minister Malcolm Turnbull.<br />

“Malcolm Turnbull is<br />

harming his candidate<br />

here in Bennelong. <strong>The</strong><br />

Liberals are harming their<br />

own candidate and their<br />

own chances as they<br />

continue to spread this<br />

China-phobia,” she said.<br />

Triggered by the controversy<br />

surrounding Labor<br />

Senator Sam Dastyari’s<br />

links with Chinese<br />

businessmen, Mr Turnbull<br />

ramped up criticism<br />

of Beijing’s interference<br />

in domestic politics on<br />

the weekend.<br />

It follows the federal<br />

government’s announcement<br />

of wide-ranging reforms<br />

to espionage and<br />

foreign interference legislation,<br />

with Attorney-<br />

General George Brandis<br />

describing meddling as<br />

an “extremely serious<br />

problem”.<br />

“Modern China was<br />

founded in 1949 with<br />

these words -- ‘the Chinese<br />

people have stood<br />

up’,” Turnbull told reporters,”<br />

attempting to speak<br />

in both English and Mandarin.<br />

“It was an assertion of<br />

sovereignty, it was an<br />

assertion of pride. And<br />

we stand up, and so we<br />

said, ‘the Australian people<br />

stand up’.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PM’s latest comments.<br />

made during a<br />

visit to Top Ryde shopping<br />

centre while campaigning<br />

with Liberal<br />

candidate for Bennelong,<br />

John Alexander, had unsettled<br />

locals from the<br />

Chinese and Korean<br />

communities, Ms Keneally<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y are really alarmed<br />

by the prime minister’s<br />

rhetoric. <strong>The</strong>y see it as<br />

China-phobia,” she said.<br />

”<strong>The</strong>y see it as scaremongering.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y see<br />

the suggestion from<br />

the prime minister that<br />

people from Chinese or<br />

Asian backgrounds are<br />

somehow suspicious<br />

and they don’t like it.”<br />

Foreign Minister Julie<br />

Bishop would not be<br />

drawn on the impact of<br />

perceived anti-China<br />

commentary from the<br />

government.<br />

“By-elections are always<br />

difficult, particularly<br />

for an incumbent<br />

government, but there<br />

will be a range of issues<br />

that affect the outcome<br />

in Bennelong,” Ms Bishop<br />

said.<br />

“John Alexander is a<br />

very popular local member,<br />

he is working very<br />

hard, and he is a very<br />

strong advocate for the<br />

people of Bennelong.<br />

“I’m hoping that we’ll<br />

get a very strong result<br />

in Bennelong, but of<br />

course there are a whole<br />

range of issues that affect<br />

by-elections.”<br />

Labor frontbencher<br />

Matt Thistlethwaite said<br />

he was hopeful that Ms<br />

Keneally could win Bennelong<br />

and had visited<br />

the electorate twice to<br />

campaign with Ms Keneally.<br />

“Her energy, her enthusiasm<br />

for that particular<br />

seat I think is<br />

overwhelming and I<br />

think she’s going to do a<br />

great job, and I’m hopeful<br />

that she’ll get over<br />

the line.<br />

Mr Thistlethwaite<br />

claimed Mr Alexander<br />

“didn’t look like his<br />

heart was in it”.<br />

“He looked like he was<br />

simply going through<br />

the motions,” he said.<br />

“We were on the prepoll<br />

one day. He lasted<br />

about 20 minutes and<br />

he took off. From the<br />

time he was there, you<br />

can tell on a person’s<br />

face, John Alexander<br />

didn’t look like his heart<br />

was in it, and I think that<br />

that’s starting to come<br />

through.”<br />

On Tuesday, Mr Dastyari<br />

announced his<br />

resignation, saying he<br />

would not be returning<br />

to the Senate in 2018.<br />

<strong>The</strong> State Government<br />

was announced last<br />

Thursday by Lane Cove<br />

MP Anthony Roberts<br />

who said the widening<br />

and upgrade of Delhi<br />

Road will be from the<br />

Hills M2 motorway to<br />

the Lane Cove National<br />

Park and will reduce<br />

travel times.<br />

<strong>The</strong> works will be undertaken<br />

next year by<br />

Landcom to coincide<br />

with the first arrival of<br />

5,000 new residents at<br />

Landcom’s Lachlan’s<br />

Line Priority Precinct<br />

development<br />

“<strong>The</strong> sustainable development<br />

of a new<br />

mixed-use precinct like<br />

Lachlan’s Line requires<br />

upgrades to local infrastructure,<br />

including<br />

roads, to support<br />

the growth of this new<br />

community,” Mr Roberts<br />

said.<br />

“Landcom has already<br />

commenced<br />

these works and is on<br />

target to deliver this<br />

important infrastructure<br />

upgrade prior to<br />

the first residents moving<br />

into the Lachlan’s<br />

Line development.”<br />

Mr Roberts conceded<br />

that the works could<br />

cause traffic delays.<br />

“I thank road users<br />

in advance for their<br />

patience as we undertake<br />

these important<br />

works,” he said.<br />

will include the construction<br />

of an additional<br />

eastbound lane,<br />

undergrounding of<br />

of bus stops,<br />

modifications to associated<br />

Mr Roberts added.<br />

<strong>The</strong> works are scheduled<br />

to begin shortly in<br />

order for completion<br />

to be achieved in mid-<br />

2018, prior to Transport<br />

Santa’s visit delights<br />

local Graves family<br />

A TOY BUNNY RABBIT, a model car and a baby rattle are a Macquarie<br />

Park family’s special request to Santa for Christmas.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Graves family visited<br />

Santa on Level One of the<br />

Macquarie Shopping Centre<br />

on Friday and put their<br />

Christmas wishes to him,<br />

in person.<br />

“It was a special occasion<br />

for our family, we were<br />

delighted to meet Santa<br />

and we will be thrilled to<br />

see the photo in our local<br />

newspaper,” Mum Prue<br />

Graves said.<br />

Santa said that - while<br />

he mostly lives at the North<br />

Pole - he loves to visit <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> territory and<br />

have his photo taken with<br />

local families.<br />

He will be at Macquarie<br />

Shopping Centre from<br />

9.30am until 6pm on Monday,<br />

Tuesday and Wednesday<br />

as well as from 9am to<br />

Christ-massive generosity<br />

for Toys N Tucker Appeal<br />

Rev David Mears, Senior Minister at Christ Church Gladesville, pictured in front of a small portion<br />

of donations in this year’s Anglicare Toys N Tucker Christmas Appeal.<br />

“We’ve been blown away by our<br />

community’s generosity” said Rev<br />

Mears in response to the collection of<br />

new toys and food from Gladesville<br />

and Putney residents.<br />

Anglicare needed to send a 1.5<br />

tonne van to collect the donations.<br />

<strong>The</strong> appeal was run by Christ<br />

Church Gladesville who worked<br />

in partnership with Putney Public<br />

School and Christ Church Gladesville<br />

Pre-School in asking neighbours,<br />

school families and friends to donate<br />

tinned food, toiletry items or toys.<br />

“Christmas reminds us of God’s<br />

gift to us in Jesus, so it seems fitting<br />

that our community would reflect that<br />

generosity in their gifts to others,”<br />

Rev Mears said.<br />

“Our church has been part of the<br />

Gladesville community for almost 140<br />

years and we love being able to encourage<br />

our neighbours to look out<br />

for those less fortunate. I’m thankful<br />

to God for Principal John Koletti,<br />

Director Tara Downton and all the<br />

families at Putney Public and Christ<br />

Church Preschool for their help in this<br />

collection.”<br />

All donations were collected by Anglicare<br />

to be packaged into gift boxes<br />

at their warehouse in Villawood.<br />

Christmas Services at Christ Church<br />

Gladesville are 5pm, 7pm and 11pm<br />

(Christmas Eve) and 8am and 9:30am<br />

proudly a Vincentian<br />

parish and compassion<br />

for others is at the very<br />

heart of our mission.”<br />

Roseanna said people<br />

can still place requests<br />

on the tree.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y can come to<br />

any Mass and place<br />

their request alongside<br />

their name, address<br />

and phone number,” Ms<br />

Gallo said.<br />

Compassion, charity<br />

and mercy for others<br />

has been the hallmark<br />

of our local Catholic<br />

churches during the<br />

pontificate of Pope<br />

Francis, with Christmas<br />

a special time to<br />

proclaim the Catholic<br />

Church commitment.<br />

“It is absolutely essential<br />

for the Church<br />

F R E E<br />

and for the credibility of<br />

her message that she<br />

herself live and testify<br />

to Mercy,” Pope Francis<br />

writes.<br />

“Her language and her<br />

gestures must transmit<br />

mercy, so as to touch<br />

the hearts of all people<br />

and inspire them to find<br />

the road that leads to<br />

the Father.”<br />

As well as celebrating<br />

the birth of Jesus<br />

Christ, Christmas a traditional<br />

time of goodwill<br />

to all and Pope Francis<br />

writes of Jesus’ love<br />

and forgiveness.<br />

“Mercy will always be<br />

greater than any sin and<br />

no one can place limits<br />

on the love of God, who<br />

is ever ready to forgive.”<br />

Senior Australian of Year NSW<br />

JOHN KNIGHT<br />

217 Vimiera Road, Eastwood<br />

TIS that Spectacular Time Of <strong>The</strong> Year once again. And<br />

it is my pleasure to send my sincere greeting for the<br />

Yule time season.<br />

Christmas (most fun if<br />

there are children around)<br />

is for kind greetings,<br />

warmth and friendship,<br />

and putting our cares<br />

away for a few weeks.<br />

Enjoy, for as we gradually<br />

age, many quietly<br />

drop off the twig. About<br />

to hit 90 this month, I<br />

have no peer group left.<br />

All have departed. 86<br />

seems to be the “critical<br />

time”.<br />

So if you are heading in<br />

that direction, take “extra<br />

precautions”. Specially<br />

regarding your health.<br />

I was unlucky enough<br />

to develop yet another<br />

cancer early this year,<br />

even though I had serious<br />

throat cancer in 2012.<br />

Having lived an abstemious<br />

life for nearly a<br />

century, felt a bit cheated.<br />

Not sure how long I was<br />

wandering around with a<br />

cancer in the colon, specially<br />

as I had undergone<br />

a colonoscopy just 15<br />

months earlier.<br />

Bowel cancer is relentless,<br />

always starts as a<br />

tiny wart (polyp), and removed<br />

very promptly is<br />

curable.<br />

If left, travels madly,<br />

and there is no hope.<br />

As my seven years<br />

older brother Ron found<br />

out at age 62. If over 40,<br />

have the examination<br />

regularly. I plead with<br />

you!<br />

Big event of the year<br />

was receiving an award<br />

Senior Australian Of <strong>The</strong><br />

Year <strong>2017</strong> for NSW.<br />

Reason? Medi Aid, the<br />

non profit Foundation<br />

set up in 1971 with late<br />

wife Noreen (which you<br />

all knew) now houses<br />

500 elderly with no home<br />

or money with a lovely<br />

home unit on the Gold<br />

Coast at a low rent.<br />

Persons will reach<br />

1,000 before I depart<br />

Planet Earth, and are well<br />

on the way.<br />

All our funds come from<br />

book royalties.<br />

Plus real estate projects<br />

in which I have<br />

been involved since age<br />

26, having my surgery<br />

adjacent to a real estate<br />

agency.<br />

Medi Aid houses a<br />

vast number of elderly<br />

residents both in Sydney<br />

and the Gold Coast.<br />

Vimiera Village at Eastwood<br />

is our flagship.<br />

(250 units, and where I<br />

now live).<br />

I love all of my “special<br />

friends” and hope the<br />

year 2018 is both happy<br />

and successful.

Why you should prepare your car for a road trip<br />

IT’S a liberating feeling when you close your jam packed boot, pull out of your driveway and your<br />

GPS starts giving you directions to your holiday destination.<br />

You are now on the road!<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing worse,<br />

however, when the car<br />

breaks down because you<br />

haven’t prepared properly<br />

for a road trip.<br />

“Many drivers unfortunately<br />

don’t understand<br />

why it’s so crucial to prepare<br />

their car for a long<br />

driving holiday,” said Leon<br />

Saliba, co-founder of<br />

Sparesbox.com.au<br />

“A little bit of understanding<br />

will make them think<br />

twice about overlooking<br />

the basics that could potentially<br />

ruin a holiday or<br />

have you broken down on<br />

a freeway with crying kids<br />

in the back seat,” he said.<br />

some basic tips on<br />

how and why you should<br />

prepare your car before<br />

you head off on a road trip.<br />

Tyre Checks<br />

Aside from being unsafe,<br />

if your tyre pressure isn’t<br />

correct it’ll also hit you in<br />

the hip pocket. Low tyre<br />

pressure creates more friction<br />

on the road resulting<br />

in more fuel consumption.<br />

On a long road trip, this<br />

means more money spent<br />

at the petrol station rather<br />

than at a cool bar or restaurant.<br />

Aim to check your tyre<br />

SMASH REPAIRS<br />

pressure when your tyres<br />

are cold as the reading is<br />

less accurate when they’re<br />

hot from driving. A good<br />

time to check your tyres<br />

is first thing in the morning<br />

at a petrol station close to<br />

your home.<br />

Wiper Check<br />

Window wipers are easily<br />

sun-damaged and if<br />

they haven’t been used in<br />

a while it’s easy to forget<br />

to check them. But having<br />

your vision is impaired by a<br />

smudged windscreen and<br />

realising how dangerous<br />

it can be to drive without<br />

good vision of the road<br />

isn’t ideal on long road<br />

trips.<br />

Avoid the danger by<br />

changing your wipers before<br />

you head off and topping<br />

up your washer fluid.<br />

Engine Oil<br />

Optimal running of your<br />

car’s engine relies on<br />

maintaining the correct<br />

fluid levels.<br />

In the same was as you<br />

go to the dentist annually<br />

but brush your teeth<br />

daily, you should expect to<br />

service your car annually<br />

and top-up your engine oil<br />

regularly – think of it like<br />

brushing your teeth.<br />

Low engine oil levels<br />

put unnecessary stress<br />

and wear and tear on the<br />

engine and it will end up<br />

leading to a root canal of a<br />

service, which will cost you<br />

thousands! This can easily<br />

be prevented with a simple<br />

regular oil top-up.<br />

Brakes<br />

Even the least savvy driver<br />

knows brakes are important<br />

for obvious safety<br />

reasons and you can tell<br />

immediately if they’re<br />

working or not.<br />

What you might not<br />

know is that brakes use<br />

a hydraulic system which<br />

requires fluid to keep them<br />

working.<br />

Due to different environmental<br />

factors, with constant<br />

use, and the passage<br />

of time, brake fluid levels<br />

decrease. As every person<br />

uses their car for different<br />

periods, it’s worth<br />

checking to see the last<br />

Rare gold for Frasers Property<br />

FRASERS Property Australia’s head office in Rhodes has just received a rare Gold rating WELL<br />

certification.<br />

It is one of the first in<br />

Australia and only the<br />

fourteenth worldwide.<br />

<strong>The</strong> WELL Building<br />

Standard is revolutionising<br />

the way people<br />

think about buildings,<br />

it covers seven core<br />

concepts of health and<br />

explores how design<br />

can be optimised to<br />

advance human health<br />

and well-being.<br />

BVN in conjunction<br />

with Frasers Property’s<br />

commercial division,<br />

led the $9.8 million fitout<br />

comprising 3,700<br />

sqm spread across two<br />

levels of an existing<br />

commercial building.<br />

Completed in 2016<br />

it was one of the first<br />

projects in Australia<br />

to target both 6-Star<br />

Green Star Interiors<br />

v1.1 (Green Building<br />

Council of Australia)<br />

and WELL (International<br />

Well Building Institute)<br />

certifications.<br />

According to Ms Ninotschka<br />

Titchkosky,<br />

BVN Principal: “<strong>The</strong><br />

workplace is an enabler<br />

for team building,<br />

coaching and developing<br />

people, but is also<br />

seen as a means to directly<br />

affect occupant’s<br />

health – making employee<br />

wellbeing a top<br />

priority.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> approach taken<br />

with the Frasers’ design<br />

makes conscious<br />

use of passive design<br />

as part of a strategy to<br />

encourage movement,<br />

both for wellness and<br />

to promote unplanned<br />

conversations and collaboration,”<br />

noted Ms<br />

Titchkosky.<br />

“Fundamental to the<br />

design is the belief that<br />

the built environment<br />

can directly affect our<br />

health – making employee<br />

well-being a top<br />

priority,” Reini Otter,<br />

Frasers Executive General<br />

Manager Commercial<br />

& Industrial commented.<br />

WELL buildings are<br />

given credits for seven<br />

categories including<br />

air, water, nourishment,<br />

light, fitness, comfort<br />

and mind.<br />

Some of the WELL<br />

features in the Rhodes<br />

office are:<br />

·Subtle active design<br />

to facilitate a healthier<br />

environment including:<br />

Single point of entry<br />

for all staff; mingle with<br />

more people; walk to<br />

your desk through a<br />

town hall space designed<br />

to encourage<br />

interaction<br />

·Natural light and<br />

views – accessible to<br />

many and owned by<br />

no-one with sight lines<br />

across entire floor plate<br />

·Indoor plants and<br />

trees (three metres<br />

high) improve air quality<br />

and connection to<br />

nature<br />

·Thirty per cent sitto-stand<br />

desks and<br />

standing conference<br />

and meeting points<br />

throughout.<br />

Frasers Property<br />

also run several wellness<br />

in the workplace<br />

initiatives that include<br />

free access to Rhodes<br />

Corporate Business<br />

gymnasium for<br />

staff, and include design<br />

elements such<br />

as end of trip facilities<br />

with showers, lockers<br />

and change rooms, indoor<br />

plants and trees<br />

to improve air quality,<br />

plenty of natural light<br />

and access to outdoor<br />

spaces and the inclusion<br />

of passive design<br />

to encourage movement<br />

and collaboration<br />

within the workplace.

CONCORD & Ryde Sailing Club Commodore Duncan McRae thanks Michael<br />

Hughes Foundation Director and NSW Ambulance paramedic Kevin<br />

McSweeney for his donation of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)<br />

- on wall in background - to the Sailing Club.<br />

Concord & Ryde Sailing Club members young and old, practicing their CPR on the mannequins.<br />

AED training for Concord-Ryde sailors<br />

SAILING can potentially be a dangerous sport and Concord & Ryde Sailing Club takes<br />

member safety very seriously.<br />

As such the club was<br />

pleased to be a recipient<br />

of a generous donation<br />

by <strong>The</strong> Michael Hughes<br />

Foundation of an Automatic<br />

External Defibrillator<br />

(AED).<br />

As part of the donation,<br />

the Foundation offered<br />

to provide free training to<br />

club members.<br />

<strong>The</strong> AED training was<br />

held at the club recently<br />

and there was a great turnout<br />

of over 20 club members<br />

of all ages.<br />

Everyone thought it was<br />

worthwhile and appreciated<br />

the opportunity to<br />

practice the skills learned.<br />

Kevin Mc Sweeney, a<br />

paramedic with NSW Ambulance<br />

and Director of<br />

the Michael Hughes Foundation,<br />

was the presenter.<br />

He provided a very engaging<br />

and informative<br />

talk and all attendees had<br />

the opportunity to practice<br />

CPR on the mannequins<br />

afterwards.<br />

Why is having an AED so<br />

important?<br />

According to St John’s<br />

Ambulance there were<br />

over 30,000 deaths from<br />

Sudden Cardiac Arrest<br />

(SCA) in 2013.<br />

SCA is the leading cause<br />

of death in Australia and<br />

90 people a day are affected<br />

by SCA outside of<br />

hospital.<br />

Without defibrillation:<br />

Survival rate is between<br />

2 per cent and 5 per cent<br />

and for every minute that<br />

passes, the chance of<br />

survival reduces by 10 per<br />

cent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> average ambulance<br />

response time is 9-14 minutes<br />

in metro areas – up<br />

to 30 minutes in regional<br />

areas.<br />

SCA can strike anyone,<br />

anywhere, anytime with<br />

the only definitive treatment<br />

a defibrillator shock.<br />

Having an AED on hand<br />

can make the difference in<br />

the first few minutes of a<br />

SCA incident.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are easy to use,<br />

maintain and can save a<br />

life prior to ambulance arrival.<br />

AEDs are important because<br />

they strengthen the<br />

Chain of Survival. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

can restore a normal heart<br />

rhythm in victims of SCA.<br />

Most AEDs are designed<br />

for use by non-medical<br />

personnel such as lay<br />

rescuers who have been<br />

properly trained.<br />

Having more people in<br />

the community who can<br />

respond to a medical<br />

Emergency by providing<br />

defibrillation will greatly<br />

increase sudden cardiac<br />

arrest survival rates<br />

Having a defibrillator on<br />

site will allow club members<br />

to be better prepared<br />

and respond to an emergency<br />

involving sudden<br />

cardiac arrest.<br />

Concord & Ryde Sailing<br />

are very grateful to the Michael<br />

Hughes Foundation<br />

for making this possible.<br />

Wednesday 13 <strong>December</strong>, <strong>2017</strong> THE WEEKLY TIMES 39<br />

Tigers roar into<br />

Twenty20 Cup finals<br />

SYDNEY Cricket Club young guns Harry Manenti and<br />

Liam Scott are two talented sportsmen in a big hurry.<br />

Fresh from their recent<br />

stand out performances<br />

with national<br />

U/17 champions NSW<br />

Metro, the emerging<br />

Tiger cubs have<br />

stepped up a class this<br />

week by pitting their<br />

skills against the best<br />

young cricketers in the<br />

country.<br />

Selectors chose the<br />

Sydney colts to participate<br />

in the National Under<br />

19 Championships in<br />

Tasmania and the promising<br />

duo have been up<br />

for the challenge.<br />

17 year old Manenti of<br />

Concord was selected in<br />

a Cricket Australia X1 for<br />

the prestigious tournament<br />

while Ryde native<br />

Scott,17, turned out for<br />

Northern Territory.<br />

It was a positive move<br />

by officials to blood the<br />

young all rounders in the<br />

older junior representative<br />

ranks where they’ve<br />

shown a maturity that<br />

belies their years.<br />

Both are highly regarded<br />

in NSW cricket circles<br />

and continue to develop<br />

in the Tigers’ lower<br />

grades.<br />

MEANWHILE Sydney<br />

will feature in this Sunday’s<br />

Kingsgrove Sports<br />

Twenty20 preliminary<br />

finals at the SCG when<br />

they square off with<br />

Sutherland for a place in<br />

the final.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tigers (143) advanced<br />

on a countback<br />

after posting a dramatic<br />

tie with Gordon (143) last<br />

Sunday at Chatswood<br />

Oval.<br />

Rookie batsman Matthew<br />

Pasternatsky kept<br />

the Tigers in the hunt<br />

with a dashing 45 off 23<br />

balls that included three<br />

sixes and three boundaries<br />

before he was run<br />

out off the final delivery.<br />

Bermudan international<br />

Delray Rawlins also<br />

shone for the Tigers -<br />

cracking 34 runs off 32<br />

balls after earlier snaring<br />

2-34 with his wily leg<br />

spin bowling.<br />

All rounder Ryan Felsch<br />

chimed in with 32 runs<br />

off 23 balls.<br />

Sydney now has<br />

a tough assignment<br />

against a Sutherland<br />

team spearheaded by<br />

former Australian ace<br />

Shane Watson.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tigers’ Twenty20<br />

success eased the pain<br />

of Sydney’s first defeat<br />

in the <strong>2017</strong>-18 NSW Premier<br />

Cricket first grade<br />

competition the previous<br />

day.<br />

Bankstown registered<br />

a 30 run victory over the<br />

Tigers in a limited overs<br />

fixture at Drummoyne<br />

Oval with quicks Aaron<br />

Bird (3-36), Kyle Brockley<br />

(3-50) and Ben Taylor<br />

(2-41) sharing the spoils.<br />

Earlier half centuries<br />

from Daniel Solway (54)<br />

and skipper-keeper<br />

Michael Stretton (53)<br />

helped the visitors post<br />

9-233.<br />

Anthony Mosca (49),<br />

$12,234 grant for Hunters Hill Sailing Club<br />

HUNTERS Hill Sailing Club has received funding to the tune of $12,234 through the Australian<br />

Government’s Stronger Communities Program. Federal MP for North Sydney Trent Zimmerman<br />

announced the funding at the Sailing Club in Woolwich last Sunday. <strong>The</strong> grant will be used for the<br />

purchase of a commercial dishwasher and new safety Rigid hulled inflatable boats. Mr Zimmerman<br />

is pictured with l to r Hunters Hill Sailing Club president Maria Quinlan, Australian Sailing vice<br />

president Sarah Kenny, Hunters Hill Mayor Mark Bennett and Hunters Hill Sailing Club Commodore<br />

Stuart MacIntyre. Sarah, who is also Australia and Oceania’s representative to the World Sailing<br />

Council, said the funding was a massive boost for the Sailing Club.<br />

Lachlan Sharp (second left) celebrates after the Kookaburras’ 2-1 victory over Argentina in<br />

the Hockey World League trophy decider in India.<br />

RYDE-Hunters Hill hockey sensation Lachlan Sharp (pictured) has capped a memorable<br />

senior international debut series by helping the world champion Kookaburras claim<br />

back-to-back Hockey World League titles in India.<br />

<strong>The</strong> attacking midfielder<br />

covered himself in<br />

glory when named Junior<br />

Player of the Match<br />

in the Kookaburras’ 3-0<br />

semi final triumph over<br />

Germany and in the<br />

championship decider,<br />

producing skilfil performances<br />

to impress keen<br />

judges.<br />

Australia’s heart-stopping<br />

2-1 win over the Argentinians<br />

in Bhubaneswar<br />

was a tremendous<br />

feat and a reward for<br />

extreme hard work, said<br />

skipper Mark Knowles.<br />

Blake Govers’ 58th<br />

minute drag flick<br />

clinched the win for<br />

Australia, although the<br />

Kookaburras needed to<br />

withstand a late rally of<br />

pressure from the 2016<br />

Rio Olympic gold medallists.<br />

Earlier, Jeremy Hayward<br />

opened the scoring<br />

from a penalty corner<br />

in the 17th minute,<br />

but Argentina levelled<br />

within 60 seconds via<br />

Agustin Bugallo.<br />

<strong>The</strong> result marks a significant<br />

milestone for the<br />

Kookaburras in their final<br />

game of <strong>2017</strong>, ahead of<br />

a huge year where they<br />

will compete at the 2018<br />

Commonwealth Games<br />

on the Gold Coast and<br />

the 2018 World Cup in<br />

India.<br />

Australia edged the<br />

contest after a tight first<br />

quarter where Eddie<br />

Ockenden had the best<br />

chance with an angled<br />

shot which was saved<br />

by Argentina goalkeeper<br />

Juan Vivaldi.<br />

<strong>The</strong> match came alive<br />

in the second term when<br />

Hayward put the Kookaburras<br />

ahead from the<br />

first penalty corner of<br />

the game with a drag<br />

flick to Vivaldi’s left.<br />

Australia’s joy quickly<br />

turned when Juan Gilardi<br />

crashed a pass inside<br />

the shooting circle<br />

which Bugallo deflected<br />

for the equaliser.<br />

Diego Paz and Sharp<br />

both had chances before<br />

the main interval<br />

for either side, before<br />

Argentina heaped on the<br />

pressure in the third.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lions initially had<br />

a penalty stroke which<br />

was reversed upon review<br />

in the 32nd minute,<br />

before Tyler Lovell<br />

made a fine double save<br />

to deny Gonzalo Peillat<br />

Lachlan Sharp<br />

and Nahuel Salis from a<br />

penalty corner.<br />

Ockenden hit the<br />

crossbar on the stroke<br />

of half-time after an<br />

ambitious drive forward<br />

from Knowles.<br />

Juan Lopez fired a<br />

good chance wide early<br />

in the last, before Australia<br />

made the breakthrough.<br />

Govers won the penalty<br />

corner for Australia,<br />

before powering a clinical<br />

finish past Vivaldi’s<br />

left for the match winner.<br />

Argentina won three<br />

late penalty corners<br />

but Lovell and Australia<br />

stood firm to clinch a<br />

famous triumph to end<br />

<strong>2017</strong> on a high.
