Melrose Park residents are rejoicing the decision by<br />

Transport Minister Andrew Constance to not run the<br />

proposed Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 route along<br />

Wharf Road but along adjacent Waratah Street instead.<br />

Under the original proposed Wharf Road route a<br />

number of houses would have to be purchased and<br />

demolished. <strong>The</strong> residents were furious.<br />

Andrew Constance met with residents and Ryde MP<br />

Victor Dominello early on Monday morning on site to<br />

announce “the Government has been listening to<br />

feedback from the community and an alternate route<br />

along Waratah Street will be investigated”.<br />

In October 2017 the NSW Government announced<br />

the preferred route for PLR Stage 2 which will connect<br />

the Parramatta CBD to Ermington, Melrose Park,<br />

Wentworth Point and Sydney Olympic Park along a<br />

nine kilometre route.<br />

Planning approval was granted in May <strong>2018</strong> for Stage<br />

1 which will link Westmead to Carlingford via the<br />

Parramatta CBD and Camelia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tram route through the Parramatta CBD could be<br />

equally destructive as the disaster in Sydney CBD<br />

along George Street where a $1 billion dollars lawsuit<br />

opened in the NSW Supreme Court yesterday.<br />

JB’s World<br />

YOU WOULD think there is a<br />

State election brewing with all the<br />

political manoeuvring going on at<br />

the moment with politicians and<br />

would-be MPs madly scrambling<br />

for media attention. This week<br />

Labor’s candidate for Ryde at<br />

next year’s March election Ryde<br />

mayor Clr Jerome Laxale was<br />

busy countering Ryde Liberal<br />

MP Victor Dominello’s<br />

announcement about his<br />

Meadowbank Education<br />

Precinct while Victor Dominello<br />

was hosing down objections to<br />

the Wharf Road tram track<br />

proposal. See details inside. <br />

<strong>2018</strong> Northern Districts Business<br />

Awards Nominations Have Closed<br />

<strong>The</strong> Northern Districts community has thrown its support behind its local<br />

businesses with thousands of nominations received for this year’s Northern<br />

Districts Local Business Awards.<br />

Nominations for the awards have closed and counting is underway to determine this year’s<br />

finalists.<br />

Precedent Productions Managing Director<br />

and Awards founder Steve Loe said Northern<br />

Districts residents had taken particular<br />

advantage of the opportunity to<br />

lodge nominations via the Awards’<br />

website.<br />

Online nominations have<br />

become popular this year with<br />

more customers selecting this<br />

method, rather than posting a<br />

printed coupon.<br />

“This year, more people<br />

than ever took the opportunity<br />

to nominate their favourite<br />

businesses online,” Mr Loe said.<br />

“Coupled with the printed<br />

coupons, we were inundated with<br />

thousands of nominations.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Northern Districts community is closeknit<br />

and parochial in the very best sense of the<br />

word as they support each other and celebrate<br />

everyone’s achievements.<br />

“That’s just one of the many reasons why so<br />

many people choose to live, work and operate<br />

businesses in the area.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Precedent Productions teamhave already<br />

started to review the nominations, find the most<br />

popular nominees in each business category<br />

and notify those who are chosen as finalists.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Awards’ anonymous judges will then visit<br />

each finalist to assess their services from a<br />

customer’s point of view.<br />

Roy Leembruggen<br />

inventor of the double<br />

decker electric<br />

trains and pioneer electric<br />

vehicle promoter<br />

would’ve been 90 on<br />

Monday but unfortunately<br />

died recently.<br />

He could’ve died of a<br />

broken heart because<br />

of Gladys Berejiklian’s<br />

change of heart in<br />

wrecking Sydney with<br />

trams when she was going<br />

to introduce electric<br />

buses when in opposition<br />

with meetings introduced<br />

by JB.<br />

When becoming<br />

Transport Minister and<br />

now Premier she says<br />

she “changed her mind”<br />

as did then premier<br />

Barry O’Farrell.<br />

JB asked Premier Berejiklian<br />

at the National<br />

Press Club luncheon<br />

meeting in Sydney recently<br />

“who changed<br />

your mind and has she<br />

checked his or her Swiss<br />

bank account”.<br />

Roy Leembruggen<br />

was insistent that the<br />

light rail (tram) lobby<br />

is the richest and most<br />

influential in the world<br />

and they have been<br />

fined by the FBI for<br />

nearly two billion dollars<br />

for corruption in<br />

every continent except<br />

Australia – yet.<br />

Premier Berejiklian<br />

treated JB’s question<br />

with disdain and instead<br />

flippantly invited me to<br />

be her guest on the first<br />

journey down George<br />

Street.<br />

I replied: she may not<br />

be premier when that<br />

happens!<br />

4 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 4 <strong>July</strong>, <strong>2018</strong><br />

Help needed for<br />

drought<br />

stricken farmers<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

Don’t doubt the drought!<br />

Imagine your lawns, our<br />

parks, our playing fields<br />

without a blade of grass,<br />

and without the availability<br />

of water.<br />

This is the scene that our<br />

country friends are exposed<br />

to day after day, month after<br />

month. However, this is only<br />

the tip of the drought “iceberg”.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n reality bites! <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

stock is in very poor health,<br />

barely able to stand. <strong>The</strong> sale<br />

price is worthless, and then<br />

ultimately and tragically there<br />

is no choice but to destroy<br />

their livestock.<br />

Recently the Premier and<br />

Deputy Premier visited a<br />

property at Dubbo sifting<br />

drought stained dirt through<br />

their hands in front of the media.<br />

<strong>The</strong> response by the<br />

State Government for the<br />

drought relief was short,<br />

unresearched, and lacked<br />

compassion for the suffering<br />

which exist in the bush.<br />

It included a fifty thousand<br />

dollar seven year LOAN!!!!,<br />

support for innovation for<br />

farming, and…… wait for<br />

this…..guidance for the<br />

preparation for impending<br />

drought.<br />

Clearly this proposal was<br />

developed by bureaucrats in<br />

Macquarie Street!<br />

If our Local Member, Mr<br />

Anthony Roberts (a Minister<br />

in the Government) actually<br />

agrees and supports this nonsense,<br />

then he and his cabinet<br />

colleagues need to confront<br />

the real issues facing the<br />

farmers and their suffering.<br />

Not just a “fly in and fly out”<br />

visit expressing the governments<br />

so called understanding<br />

and sympathy to the bush.<br />

<strong>The</strong> key support the farmers<br />

need is a subsidy program so<br />

feed and hay can be transported<br />

to the farm gate. Due<br />

to the lack of available feed<br />

most need to be obtained<br />

from WA. <strong>The</strong> cost of feeding<br />

farm stock is prohibitive.<br />

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

a subsidy based program for<br />

our public transport system<br />

for 85 percent. Where is the<br />

subsidies support for our<br />

farmers and their transport<br />

costs?<br />

Having grown up in North<br />

Western NSW I have experienced<br />

and witnessed the<br />

devastation, the suffering,<br />

and the anguish of a prolonged<br />

drought.<br />

<strong>The</strong> wider affect the drought<br />

has on a town’s community<br />

is severe and in some cases<br />

Rational thoughts<br />

or ‘racist rants’<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

I thought I’d move from<br />

looking at Mr Ikonomou’s<br />

racist rant (don’t you just<br />

love that phrase?) as if it<br />

held any historical or factual<br />

evidence to the language he<br />

uses. (Year 9 English would<br />

love this!)<br />

For a start, we PC fairies<br />

actually live at the “bottom” of<br />

the garden - a misquote from<br />

a poem originally by Rose<br />

Fyleman (Try Google, gentle<br />

reader. Be warned - she’s also<br />

an “other.”)<br />

None of us, by the way, are<br />

in the habit of ignoring crime,<br />

density of population or the<br />

other ills of modernity. We just<br />

don’t blame any particular<br />

group.<br />

Mr I, as I now fondly think of<br />

him (well, it is always “me, me,<br />

me” isn’t it?) uses the classic<br />

terms of the racist, so he cannot<br />

be pinned down to justify<br />

what he says.<br />

Let’s see: “billions of dollars<br />

of Chinese money (some<br />

undoubtedly corrupt)” - does<br />

he mean the money is corrupt,<br />

the Chinese who invest<br />

it are corrupt or does the word<br />

“undoubtedly” give him away<br />

- he does not actually know?<br />

Actually, if we look at<br />

Australian history we’d understand<br />

that in the past it<br />

was British money and then<br />

American money that bought<br />

up our assets - think General<br />

Motors Holden (how long<br />

was it actually an Australian<br />

car?); British Tobacco - we’ve<br />

smoked ourselves to death<br />

ever since - what say you<br />

about corruption?<br />

More people die from nicotine<br />

than ice, Mr I, terrible as<br />

the latter is.<br />

High rise may be ugly and<br />

crowding out the traditional<br />

home.<br />

Well, we could expand<br />

into the food-growing areas<br />

around our cities with traditional<br />

quarter acre blocks.<br />

That’s where the wogs and<br />

ities (excuse the expressions,)<br />

who were the “huge influx” of<br />

the 1950s, ended up.<br />

But, Mr I, they weren’t<br />

“Asian” were they? What happened<br />

to the Italian market<br />

gardens that once were the<br />

feature of Eastwood?<br />

Section 4.55 – Amend<br />

Of course we’ve got to be<br />

wary of people who think they<br />

can “buy” influence with political<br />

donations.<br />

Watch out for mining magnates,<br />

property developers,<br />

newspaper owners, retired<br />

politicians and their ilk.<br />

That’s why we live in a<br />

healthy democracy which has<br />

laws to protect us, active journalists<br />

(like in this paper) to<br />

suss out such attempts.<br />

But, Mr I, why have such a<br />

narrow focus? Racist rants<br />

are no substitute for rational<br />

thought.<br />

Did we need “that type of<br />

migrant” in the 1870s that<br />

bred our first terrorist, Ned<br />

Kelly - Irish, cop killer?<br />

Did we need those sons of<br />

old England that murdered<br />

and raped at Myall Creek in<br />

1838?<br />

Dear Mr I, we’ve tried taking<br />

you seriously, we’ve tried to<br />

suggest that you are laughable.<br />

Find something else<br />

to do. Join a political party -<br />

Pauline would probably take<br />

Australian Mental<br />

Health Prize<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

<strong>The</strong> majority of Australians<br />

are touched by the<br />

impact of mental health in<br />

some way.<br />

Many live with the daily burden<br />

of anxiety or depression,<br />

or care for a loved one.<br />

Devastatingly, thousands<br />

of Australians die by suicide<br />

each year and many more<br />

make an attempt.<br />

It is the leading cause of<br />

death for Australians between<br />

15 and 44 years of age, but it<br />

can be prevented.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are thousands of people<br />

working tirelessly to make<br />

a difference in this field and<br />

their efforts could not be more<br />

urgent.<br />

Anyone who knows of such<br />

a person would no doubt appreciate<br />

their achievements,<br />

but I would encourage them<br />

to take it one step further and<br />

nominate them for the Australian<br />

Mental Health Prize.<br />

Big Asian demand<br />

for NSW coal<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

A new report on expected<br />

Asian demand for Australian<br />

thermal coal highlights<br />

a significant opportunity for<br />

NSW, and the risk that this<br />

opportunity may be lost to<br />

others.<br />

<strong>The</strong> report by expert industry<br />

analyst Commodity Insights<br />

(commissioned by the<br />

MCA and COAL21 Fund) has<br />

forecast strong demand for<br />

Australian thermal coal, including<br />

here in NSW, across<br />

existing and emerging Asian<br />

markets between now and<br />

2030.<br />

<strong>The</strong> report estimates that<br />

Asian thermal coal demand<br />

is expected to grow over<br />

400 million tonnes (Mt) from<br />

740Mt in 2017 to 1147Mt in<br />

2030 - that’s double Australia’s<br />

total 2017 thermal coal<br />

export volume of 200Mt.<br />

Demand is expected to be<br />

driven by increased regional<br />

industrialisation and the development<br />

of high efficiency<br />

low emission (HELE) coalfired<br />

power stations across<br />

many of NSW traditional<br />

coal export markets including<br />

Japan, China, Taiwan and<br />

Korea, as well as in emerging<br />

markets like Vietnam, the Philippines<br />

and Thailand.<br />

This report confirms strong<br />

future prospects for NSW<br />

coal exports due to a significant<br />

increase in Asian<br />

demand for thermal coal for<br />

power generation, providing<br />

an opportunity for more NSW<br />

mining jobs, higher sustained<br />

NSW mining royalties and<br />

lower global emissions.”<br />

It should also be understood<br />

that failure to grasp this<br />

opportunity will mean thermal<br />

coal will be supplied by others,<br />

resulting in fewer NSW<br />

jobs, less NSW mining royalties,<br />

and potentially higher<br />

global emissions from low<br />

quality coal.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NSW Budget was a<br />

clear demonstration of the<br />

economic benefits of mining<br />

to NSW, with a record $1.8<br />

billion in royalties for 2017-<br />

18, and even higher royalties<br />

forecast for the years ahead<br />

to help to pay for better services<br />

for the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> projected $7.4 billion in<br />

mining royalties to 2021-22<br />

would more than pay for the<br />

NSW Government’s $6 billion<br />

commitment to fund 170 new<br />

and upgraded schools, or pay<br />

for almost all of the NSW Government’s<br />

$8 billion commitment<br />

for better health facilities<br />

including 40 new or upgraded<br />

hospital across NSW.<br />

This report shows that with<br />

the right policies to support<br />

mining we can lock in these<br />

benefits for the longer term.<br />

However, the report highlights<br />

the need for an efficient mining<br />

approvals process and a<br />

regulatory system that is effective<br />

but not burdensome.<br />

Bridge is good for the brain<br />

and a fulfilling activity<br />

BRIDGE is derived from<br />

the 17th century card<br />

game whist, which was in<br />

vogue among the English<br />

nobility of the time.<br />

In whist, four players (who<br />

comprise two partnerships)<br />

are each dealt 13 cards from<br />

a 52 card deck, with a partnership’s<br />

objective being to<br />

win as many tricks as possible.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was no auction to<br />

determine the trump suit as<br />

there is in modern bridge<br />

and the scoring was vastly<br />

more simple.<br />

In 1925 Contract bridge<br />

was invented by the American<br />

Harold Vanderbilt.<br />

It quickly gained popularity<br />

in the United States and it<br />

experienced its Golden Age<br />

in the 1930s and 1940s during<br />

which time the game featured<br />

prominently in Sports<br />

Illustrated and competed<br />

with baseball to be America’s<br />

national pastime.<br />

Bridge remains popular<br />

around the world today.<br />

It combines the elements<br />

of mental stimulation, luck<br />

and socialising all of which<br />

are hard to find in other<br />

games as cheap and easy<br />

to play.<br />

* * *<br />

ALTHOUGH bridge’s<br />

golden age may not be<br />

replicated again, millions<br />

of Americans still enjoy the<br />

game.<br />

<strong>The</strong> game is a dominant<br />

force in European countries<br />

such as France, Italy, <strong>The</strong><br />

Netherlands, Norway and<br />

Iceland whilst other unlikely<br />

hotbeds of bridge include<br />

Brazil, Turkey and Israel.<br />

In recent years the game<br />

has spread like wildfire<br />

through China and Indonesia.<br />

Bridge is one of the few<br />

games played today by people<br />

of all ages, faiths and nationalities.<br />

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

with BOB TERNES<br />

Closer to home, bridge in<br />

Australia is controlled by the<br />

Australian Bridge Federation<br />

which has about 330 clubs<br />

under its umbrella with a total<br />

membership in excess of<br />

35,000.<br />

You will find a thriving<br />

bridge club in almost every<br />

regional city in Australia and<br />

these clubs are always delighted<br />

to welcome visitors<br />

to participate in their sessions.<br />

It certainly adds another<br />

dimension to the joys of<br />

travel knowing that it is easy<br />

to meet the locals and enjoy<br />

a social game of bridge with<br />

them.<br />

Still on the travel theme,<br />

bridge holidays have become<br />

extremely popular<br />

with a growing number of<br />

players.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se holidays are normally<br />

run by experienced<br />

professional players and<br />

teachers and enable players<br />

to improve their bridge play<br />

whilst meeting new friends<br />

and enjoying new holiday<br />

destinations.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se holidays explore<br />

exotic locations both in<br />

Australia and overseas and,<br />

because of the group travel,<br />

are often available at discounted<br />

prices.<br />

* * *<br />

EVEN closer to home,<br />

the Hunters Hill Bridge Club<br />

has successfully operated<br />

in Hunters Hill for more than<br />

forty years.<br />

Today it boasts over 350<br />

members who, because of<br />

the support of the Hunters<br />

Hill Council, enjoy playing<br />

at numerous bridge sessions<br />

during the week in the<br />

beautiful Henley Community<br />

Centre located on the banks<br />

of the Parramatta River.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Club caters to all<br />

standards of players from<br />

absolute beginners to established<br />

representative<br />

players. <strong>The</strong> Club is very active<br />

in promoting the game<br />

and throughout the year it<br />

provides lessons for beginners<br />

as well as for intermediate<br />

and advanced players.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se lessons are given<br />

by accredited teachers and<br />

representative players and<br />

enable club members continually<br />

to improve their skills<br />

and enjoyment of the game.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Club operates in a<br />

friendly, social atmosphere<br />

with the real opportunity<br />

of making new and lasting<br />

friendships whilst enjoying<br />

a hugely challenging game<br />

requiring skill, knowledge,<br />

concentration and logic.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Club is run by the<br />

members as a not-for-profit<br />

organisation which enables<br />

it to keep costs to a minimum.<br />

For a very small outlay you<br />

can enjoy a game of bridge<br />

over a three hour period in<br />

very congenial surroundings.<br />

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

Club looks forward to welcoming<br />

you as a member.<br />

Gladesville residents force removal of ‘diabolical’ stop sign<br />

GLADESVILLE residents backed by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> and City of Ryde<br />

Clr Roy Maggio have been able to get the council to remove a controversial<br />

STOP sign at the intersection of Monash and Buffalo Roads.<br />

Councillor Maggio received<br />

confirmation on<br />

Thursday the sign would<br />

be removed, two days after<br />

he raised the issue as<br />

an Urgency motion during<br />

the last council meeting.<br />

<strong>The</strong> action responds<br />

to reports to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> of car crashes - related<br />

to the stop sign –<br />

from local residents who<br />

said it had been “dangerously”<br />

placed by council<br />

workers on busy Monash<br />

Road to give preferential<br />

right of way to traffic from<br />

the less used, adjoining<br />

Buffalo Road.<br />

Resident Phil Lown (pictured,<br />

right) lives alongside<br />

the intersection and told<br />

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

majority of motorists driving<br />

north along Monash<br />

Road fail to stop at the<br />

stop sign.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y are either disregarding<br />

the stop sign or<br />

they simply cannot see<br />

it as the two stop signs<br />

there are set about a metre<br />

higher than the Roads<br />

and Maritime Services and<br />

Australian standards,” Mr<br />

Lown said.<br />

A study undertaken by<br />

this newspaper on Thursday<br />

afternoon confirmed<br />

that 51 out of one hundred<br />

peak hour cars completely<br />

ignored the stop sign, 39<br />

slowed but did not stop<br />

and only ten fully stopped<br />

as directed.<br />

“At night, when the stop<br />

sign is less visible, even<br />

fewer cars stop and they<br />

completely ignore the<br />

speed limit, ” one resident<br />

said<br />

Some residents said the<br />

main danger came from<br />

the confusion of Buffalo<br />

Road motorists - turning<br />

right into Monash Road<br />

- who are cannot see the<br />

Monash Road stop sign<br />

which gives them preferential<br />

right of way.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y naturally assume<br />

they should give way to<br />

cars on their right, approaching<br />

from a much<br />

busier road,” one resident<br />

said.<br />

“We’ve seen many cars<br />

almost collide because no<br />

one is sure who has the<br />

right of way.”<br />

To make a dangerous<br />

situation worse, Mr Lown<br />

said some buses are leaking<br />

oil at the intersection<br />

which causes cars who<br />

break suddenly at the intersection<br />

to skid.<br />

“You can actually see<br />

skid marks at the intersection<br />

and trees which have<br />

lost their branches as cars<br />

and buses veer into the<br />

curb.”<br />

It is the dangerous situation<br />

on the curbside that<br />

concerns local mum Lena<br />

Candy, pictured.<br />

“I fear crossing this intersection<br />

with my child and<br />

we should never, ever have<br />

been put in this situation,”<br />

she said.<br />

“What makes it worse<br />

is that residents were not<br />

even consulted when the<br />

stop sign was put in.”<br />

Although Mr Lown described<br />

the situation as<br />

“diabolical” he stopped<br />

short of blaming the council<br />

for it.<br />

“I’m not blaming anyone<br />

at all, but we should learn<br />

from this and get the problem<br />

fixed before there is a<br />

fatality,” he said.<br />

Councillor Maggio<br />

agreed and welcomed the<br />

decision to remove the<br />

sign but wants further action<br />

taken after consultation<br />

with residents.<br />

“What we need immediately<br />

are speed humps<br />

a few hundred yards<br />

from the intersection on<br />

Monash Road, which will<br />

at least slow the traffic,”<br />

he said.<br />

“We also need to talk<br />

with those residents who<br />

tell as these streets have<br />

become a rat run for cars<br />

avoiding Victoria Road.”<br />

Mr Lown agreed.<br />

”If council will not agree<br />

to the re-instatement of<br />

the old system then we<br />

need to have reduced<br />

speed limits,” he said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> faster the traffic<br />

goes, the more horrendous<br />

the accidents will be.”<br />

He would also like to see<br />

the police and bus drivers<br />

consulted alongside residents.<br />

”We have not even<br />

touched on the property<br />

value diminution now being<br />

felt by several residents,”<br />

he said.<br />

GLADESVILLE residents<br />

are pictured in<br />

stop sign on Monash<br />

Road, which was removed<br />

after an urgency<br />

motion was put by Clr<br />

yde mayor accused of<br />

evelopment hypocrisy<br />

CITY of Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale has been accused of being a<br />

hypocrite in his campaign against local over development.<br />

<strong>The</strong> accusation<br />

against the Mayor –<br />

who is also the Labor<br />

candidate for Ryde –<br />

was made by Liberal<br />

councillors during<br />

last Tuesday night’s<br />

council meeting in a<br />

debate about two Top<br />

Ryde sites that could<br />

be developed for high<br />

rise residential apartments<br />

under the City<br />

of Ryde’s Four Year<br />

Plan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Liberal councillors<br />

supported a<br />

motion by Liberal<br />

Clr Chris Moujalli to<br />

have the potential<br />

developments at Top<br />

Ryde’s Argyle Centre<br />

(33-35 Blaxland<br />

Road) and the Battery<br />

World site (741-<br />

747 Victoria Road) removed<br />

from the Four<br />

Year Plan, which has<br />

the Mayor’s support.<br />

Councillor Moujalli<br />

said it is hypocritical<br />

of the Mayor to campaign<br />

against overdevelopment<br />

in the City<br />

of Ryde, but include<br />

the two Top Ryde<br />

sites in the plan.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Mayor comes<br />

out against property<br />

developers yet he<br />

wants to be a property<br />

developer himself,”<br />

Clr Moujalli said.<br />

Councillor Sarkis<br />

Yedelian OAM<br />

agreed.<br />

“We are freezing<br />

everyone’s else’s developments<br />

and we<br />

should not set a bad<br />

example ourselves,”<br />

he said.<br />

“We also say we are<br />

against overdevelopment<br />

and we blame<br />

the state government,<br />

so let us not<br />

support overdevelopment<br />

ourselves.”<br />

Mayor Laxale said<br />

he “rejected outright”<br />

the claim that the inclusion<br />

of these sites<br />

in the Four Year Plan<br />

sealed their fate and<br />

stressed that any<br />

development would<br />

have to have community<br />

consultation and<br />

community support.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is some political<br />

game being<br />

played here,” he said.<br />

“I cannot support<br />

this amendment (to<br />

exclude the sites<br />

from the plan) because<br />

I know these<br />

sites are intricately<br />

linked with the future<br />

of the Civic Centre<br />

and we need to look<br />

at these sites together,<br />

not separate<br />

them.<br />

“We also need to<br />

have workshops prior<br />

to any community<br />

consultation.”<br />

Save the<br />

Argyle Centre<br />

Heritage minded<br />

Liberal Clr Trenton<br />

Brown said that<br />

while the council’s<br />

zoning allowed for<br />

residential apartments<br />

on the sites,<br />

the Argyle Centre<br />

should remain as<br />

a community arts<br />

venue.<br />

“You, the Mayor,<br />

say there will be no<br />

residential apartments<br />

on the Civic<br />

Centre site and yet<br />

you want high rise<br />

development on the<br />

Battery World Site,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I strongly put the<br />

view that the Argyle<br />

Centre, especially,<br />

should remain zoned<br />

for the arts and why<br />

we are embracing it<br />

for residential is just<br />

not clear.<br />

“Let us ask the<br />

community if they<br />

want high rise residential<br />

here and I’m<br />

sure they will reject<br />

it.”<br />

Independent Clr<br />

Roy Maggio has<br />

long campaigned<br />

for something to be<br />

done about the vacant<br />

Argyle Centre<br />

building and supports<br />

the inclusion<br />

of this site in the<br />

Four Year Plan.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re are eight<br />

councillors here<br />

working for our<br />

community and four<br />

Liberal councillors<br />

who are not,” he<br />

said.<br />

“It is our right to<br />

move on with this,<br />

for the benefit of our<br />

community.”<br />

Ultimate care<br />

for you, your wishes<br />

and your family.<br />

WL-ULT-<strong>TWT</strong>-9x14.5cm-0418<br />

Just move on! Councillor Roy Maggio says he wants to see something done<br />

about the Argyle Centre in Top Ryde, which has remained vacant and derelict for<br />

more than a decade. <strong>TWT</strong> on-the-spot PHOTO<br />

High Drama at Ryde Secondary College<br />

RYDE Secondary College unveiled its acting talent when more than 60 students showed their<br />

wares at the annual Drama Showcase Night.<br />

Students from the<br />

elective Drama classes<br />

in Years 9 to 12, along<br />

with the College Drama<br />

Club performed a range<br />

of scripted and self-devised<br />

pieces for a packed<br />

house.<br />

Years 9, 10 and 12 students<br />

created their own<br />

works.<br />

Not only did they direct<br />

and act in their performances,<br />

they also scripted<br />

the work from scratch<br />

with Year 11 students<br />

performing excerpts from<br />

famous playwrights including<br />

Shakespeare,<br />

Samuel Beckett and Oscar<br />

Wilde.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Drama Club, which<br />

consists of mainly Year 7<br />

and 8 students, devised<br />

an ensemble piece under<br />

the direction of their tutor<br />

Cate Cunningham.<br />

‘<strong>The</strong> great thing about<br />

drama is that it is accessible<br />

to all,” said Alison<br />

Shaw, Heat Teacher of<br />

Creative and Performing<br />

Arts at Ryde.<br />

“Students from different<br />

grades, different friendship<br />

groups, with varying<br />

abilities and skills were all<br />

able to work collaboratively<br />

and showcase their<br />

talents,” she said.<br />

“Every student left with<br />

a great sense of accomplishment<br />

and a sense<br />

of belonging, having<br />

been part of such a large<br />

event.’<br />

Principal Cassy Norris<br />

said that the night was<br />

particularly special because<br />

students from the<br />

college’s support unit,<br />

mainstream and selective<br />

classes were all represented<br />

and worked so<br />

well together.<br />

JIMMY JONG HOON PARK<br />

THERE are several major risk factors with skin cancer, Eastwood based Dr Peter Kim (pictured)<br />

said this week.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se factors are fair skin,<br />

family history, personal history,<br />

exposure to the sun, freckles,<br />

non healing skin lesions and immune<br />

suppression.<br />

“If you have any of these factors,<br />

you are automatically at a<br />

higher risk of having a skin cancer,”<br />

Dr Kim said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> fairer your skin is the<br />

more likely it is that your skin<br />

will burn and you will have a<br />

higher risk of developing skin<br />

cancer.<br />

“A typical stereotype of these<br />

skin types are people from European,<br />

Scandinavian and British<br />

descent as their skin is fair and<br />

they tend to burn rather than<br />

tan.”<br />

Family history and personal<br />

history are also factors.<br />

“Some skin cancers tend to run<br />

in the family and if you had one<br />

skin cancer, you are more likely<br />

to have another one,” Dr Kim<br />

said.<br />

Australian governments have<br />

funded major advertising campaigns<br />

to warn of the risk of over<br />

exposure to sunlight, often using<br />

models with fair skin and freckles.<br />

“Whether it is recreational or<br />

work related, prolong exposure<br />

to high level UV exposure is the<br />

reason why Australia is the skin<br />

cancer capital of the world,” he<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> number of freckles in<br />

your body is a positive correlation<br />

to the risk of developing<br />

melanoma.”<br />

People with a non healing skin<br />

lesion should seek medical advice.<br />

“Skin cancers don’t heal and<br />

that is why they present as a non<br />

healing skin lesion.<br />

“All non healing skin lesions<br />

should attract medical attention.”<br />

Immune suppression also increases<br />

the risk.<br />

“Whether you immune is suppressed<br />

because of chemotherapy,<br />

medications or medical<br />

illness, these patients are more<br />

susceptible to skin cancers.”<br />

Dr Kim stressed that two out<br />

of every three Australians will<br />

be diagnosed with skin cancer<br />

by the time they are 70 and that<br />

more than 750,000 people treated<br />

for one or more non-melanoma<br />

skin cancers in Australia<br />

each year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> recent statistics further<br />

indicate that 13,134 Australians<br />

were diagnosed with melanoma<br />

while 2015, 2,162 people died<br />

from skin cancer in Australia.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se fatalities include 1,520<br />

from melanoma and 642 from<br />

non-melanoma skin cancers.<br />

Ryde looks to<br />

adopt a sister<br />

THE KOREAN CITY<br />

of Dong Dae Mun<br />

could be a sister city<br />

with the City of Ryde<br />

under a Friendship<br />

Agreement prposed<br />

by Clr Dr Peter Kim.<br />

Councillors voted unanimously<br />

at last Tuesday<br />

night’s council meeting<br />

to give in-principle agreement<br />

to the sister city<br />

proposal and requested<br />

General Manager George<br />

Dedes bring a report on<br />

the idea to an upcoming<br />

council meeting.<br />

Mr Dedes is also expected<br />

to consult with<br />

the local Korean speaking<br />

community and with<br />

the South Korean consulate.<br />

Local resident Jason<br />

Koh addressed the council<br />

meeting and spoke of<br />

trade opportunities that<br />

could flow from a sister<br />

city agreement.<br />

“Sister city agreements<br />

can be symbolic but<br />

the beauty of sister city<br />

agreements is that they<br />

encourage both friendship<br />

and businesses<br />

partnerships,” he said.<br />

“If the City of Ryde<br />

takes this partnership<br />

seriously it will maximise<br />

joint venture opportunities<br />

with Dong Dae Mun<br />

City, which is a centre<br />

piece of South Korea’s<br />

economic hub.”<br />

Labor promises to keep Marsden High<br />

and Meadowbank Public School open<br />

MEADOWBANK Public School and Marsden High School will be saved<br />

from demolition under a promise made to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> on Monday<br />

by Shadow Minister for Education, Jihad Dibb.<br />

Mr Dibb said both<br />

schools will be retained<br />

and upgraded<br />

under a Labor government<br />

as well as<br />

the new education<br />

precinct at the Meadowbank<br />

TAFE site going<br />

ahead.<br />

Ryde MP Victor<br />

Dominello last week<br />

touted the demolition<br />

of the two schools to<br />

make way for parkland<br />

but statistics<br />

quoted by Mr Dibb<br />

reveal that Marsden<br />

High and Meadowbank<br />

will be needed<br />

to meet the needs of<br />

a growing community.<br />

He said the Melrose<br />

Park development<br />

on the former<br />

Putt Putt site Victoria<br />

Road will have several<br />

thousand units<br />

and require schooling<br />

for around three thousand<br />

extra students.<br />

“In the Ryde electorate<br />

the number of<br />

school age students<br />

in the is expected to<br />

increase by 22,000 by<br />

2036 and the neighbouring<br />

electorate of<br />

Parramatta is facing a<br />

similar school population<br />

explosion,” Mr<br />

Dibb said.<br />

Ryde Mayor Jerome<br />

Laxale agreed.<br />

“With the state government<br />

contuining<br />

to target Ryde with<br />

overdevelopment<br />

we need additional<br />

schools being open,<br />

not existing schools<br />

closed.”<br />

Labor candidate for<br />

Parramatta Liz Scully<br />

said parents in Ermington<br />

and Melrose<br />

Park are shocked by<br />

the proposed closure<br />

of Marsden High.<br />

“It also creates uncertainty<br />

for the families<br />

planning to enrol<br />

their children there<br />

and for the many<br />

proud Marsden High<br />

graduates this is a<br />

real slap in the face.”<br />

We’ll save Marsden High! Labor candidate for Parramatta Liz Scully is pictured at the school on<br />

Monday with City of Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale and Shadow Minister for Education, Jihad Dibb.<br />

Urgency Motion slams a government protest ban<br />

A STATE government plan to ban protest meetings on crown land and<br />

fine individual protestors up to $11,000 was blasted in an Urgency Motion<br />

put by Deputy Mayor Christopher Gordon during last Tuesday night’s City<br />

of Ryde council meeting.<br />

Deputy Mayor<br />

Gordon warned that<br />

the new Regulation<br />

13 (1) of the Crown<br />

Land Management<br />

Regulation (<strong>2018</strong>)<br />

is due comes into<br />

force this month<br />

and can prosecute<br />

any person taking<br />

part in any gathering,<br />

meeting or assembly<br />

on crown<br />

land except in the<br />

case of a cemetery<br />

or for the purpose of<br />

a religious or other<br />

ceremony of burial<br />

or commemoration.<br />

He said that the<br />

law will ban protestors<br />

at endangered<br />

community and environmental<br />

sites, if<br />

these are on parks<br />

or other crown<br />

lands.<br />

“As it stands, we<br />

would each face an<br />

$11,000 fine if we<br />

were told to move<br />

on, even from gatherings<br />

like the Armenian<br />

Genocide<br />

commemoration in<br />

Memorial Park in<br />

Meadowbank,” he<br />

said.<br />

“You will be fined<br />

if you were asked<br />

to move on and<br />

this law impacts on<br />

each and every one<br />

of us.”<br />

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

recently<br />

cracked down on<br />

protests at NSW<br />

Parliament with police<br />

at parliament<br />

house further empowered<br />

to search<br />

people and prohibit<br />

t-shirts and banners<br />

which display a protest<br />

slogan.<br />

Councillor Gordon<br />

said protests<br />

against the government’s<br />

proposed<br />

forced council amalgamations<br />

would be<br />

specifically targeted<br />

under the new law, if<br />

held on crown land.<br />

Supporters of the<br />

new law argue it<br />

strengthens police<br />

powers to protect<br />

innocent bystanders<br />

on crown land<br />

during protests but<br />

the Deputy Mayor<br />

argued it goes further<br />

than that.<br />

“Under this law a<br />

government public<br />

servant or even a<br />

council officer can<br />

make a move on<br />

notice, so it is not<br />

even the police,” he<br />

said.<br />

Liberal Clr Jordan<br />

Lane said opposition<br />

to the law is being<br />

driven by political<br />

extremists.<br />

“You (Clr Gordon)<br />

know the aim of<br />

this safe access Bill<br />

has nothing to do<br />

with stopping political<br />

protests and<br />

you know that opposition<br />

to it comes<br />

from the far right,”<br />

he said.<br />

“This simply empowers<br />

our law enforcement<br />

officers.”<br />

Similar laws were<br />

enacted during <strong>The</strong><br />

Troubles in Northern<br />

Ireland but Irish Republican<br />

protestors<br />

got around the laws<br />

by lawfully turning<br />

the funerals of Republicans<br />

into cemetery<br />

protests that<br />

would often draw<br />

tens of thousands<br />

of protestors.<br />

Marsfield fire grandmum<br />

in tearful council speech<br />

THE mother of the recent Marsfield home fire tragedy victims broke down in tears when she gave<br />

a heartfelt address at last Tuesday night’s City of Ryde council meeting.<br />

Zhongzhen Liu recently<br />

rushed to Ryde from<br />

China to be by the bedsides<br />

of Hao Wang and<br />

Fiona Yang who suffered<br />

serious burns when their<br />

Zanco Road home was<br />

engulfted by flames on<br />

March 28.<br />

Ms Liu is also caring for<br />

her nine-year-old granddaughter<br />

who attends<br />

Kent Road Public School<br />

and her four-year-old<br />

grandson who attends<br />

St George’s Preschool at<br />

Eastwood.<br />

Speaking through an<br />

interpreter she said the<br />

parents are still in an intensive<br />

care unit and her<br />

husband has returned to<br />

China.<br />

“I am the mother of the<br />

victims of the fire incident<br />

and every time I think<br />

back ton the bad news I<br />

feel unlucky but lucky at<br />

the same time,” she said.<br />

“When we arrived here<br />

we didn’t even have warm<br />

clothese with us but City<br />

of Ryde Clr Simon Zhou<br />

helped us with all our daily<br />

supplies and the (charity)<br />

organisations provided<br />

great help and gave us<br />

hope.<br />

“I cannot express my<br />

deep gratitude more and<br />

we will try our best to lead<br />

a happy and positive life.”<br />

Councillor Zhou received<br />

a personal commendation<br />

from City of<br />

Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale.<br />

Cate Sinclair from the<br />

Northern Centre (formerly<br />

Ryde Family Services)<br />

also praised Clr Zhou.<br />

“We were asked to find a<br />

way to support the Wang<br />

family and the immediate<br />

concerns were legal,<br />

financial, medical and accomodation<br />

related concerns,”<br />

she said.<br />

“Thanks to Christian<br />

Community Aid and Clr<br />

Zhou they (family support<br />

agencies) are doing an<br />

excellent job.<br />

“Not one agency can be<br />

all things to all people and<br />

the Northern Centre especially<br />

acknowledges the<br />

City of Ryde for support.”<br />

Councillor Zhou thanked<br />

City of Ryde staff for helping<br />

to secure the site of<br />

the fire and for assisting<br />

neighbours.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re are many heroes<br />

in our city and I acknowledge<br />

them all.”<br />

A luncheon will be held<br />

to thank the helpers.<br />

Zhongzhen Liu is close to tears as she thanks the<br />

City of Ryde at last Tuesday night’s council meeting.<br />

Hunters Hill heritage<br />

pops up on street boxes<br />

HUNTERS Hill’s utility boxes have come alive with heritage<br />

posters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> posters depict<br />

street scenes from<br />

Hunters Hill’s Victorian<br />

and Edwardian<br />

era and are taken from<br />

historic photographs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> idea for the utility<br />

art was first proposed<br />

by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> to Emeritus<br />

Mayor Sue Hoopmann<br />

several years ago with<br />

the idea of celebrating<br />

Hunters Hill’s sesquicentenary<br />

with images<br />

from the days when<br />

the muncipality was<br />

known as the French<br />

village.<br />

Councillor Justine<br />

McLaughlin acknowledged<br />

the contribution<br />

of the Public Art<br />

Committee and the<br />

Sign Vision company,<br />

which braved wet<br />

weather this week to<br />

get the job done.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Public Art Committee<br />

is made up of<br />

Annie Goodman from<br />

Council, myself and<br />

“<strong>The</strong> historic images<br />

reflect the social history<br />

of the area in<br />

which they are located<br />

and we deliberately<br />

avoided photos of just<br />

buildings where possible<br />

because in many<br />

cases, those buildings<br />

are still there!<br />

“We concentrated on<br />

images of the people<br />

and social interaction<br />

that would have been<br />

happening in and<br />

around those buildings.<br />

“For example down<br />

in Woolwich there is<br />

a great image of kids<br />

about to jump into the<br />

Woolwich baths, and<br />

garages that used to<br />

be along that strip.<br />

“Outside the Council<br />

Chambers there is<br />

resident NOW IN Virginia SIX Wise LANGUAGES! a great image of the<br />

and our other projects agenda for the first<br />

have included the Council Meeting ever<br />

“We even sat down<br />

with the Marist Sisters<br />

in their nursing<br />

homes to try to source<br />

images from their collections<br />

as well, as we<br />

wanted to reflect their<br />

contribution to the<br />

area.”<br />

Mayor Mark Bennett<br />

recognised the role of<br />

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

“<strong>The</strong> idea was first<br />

put forward by <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> correspondent<br />

in Hunters<br />

Hill to highlight our<br />

boxes on the centre<br />

verge at the overpass,”<br />

she said.<br />

“We need to get<br />

those covered next.<br />

Ideally we would love<br />

to obtain a sponsor<br />

or benefactor to<br />

help with the cost involved.”<br />

Rates set to rise in Hunters Hill<br />

RATES in Hunters Hill look set to rise with the council expected to seek a special rates variation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> proposed rates rise has<br />

been included in the council’s<br />

strategic plan, which was endorsed<br />

by councillors at Monday<br />

night’s extraordinary council<br />

meeting.<br />

It follows a recent community<br />

based survey which found that<br />

ratepayers will accept a rise to<br />

maintain existing assets and<br />

services.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> community has been<br />

clear about ensuring the council<br />

continues to maintain building,<br />

parks and recreation at agreed<br />

levels, ” the Strategic Plan<br />

states.<br />

“It will be necessary for council<br />

to consider reapplying to<br />

the Independent Pricing and<br />

Regulatory Tribunal to have the<br />

Community Facilities Asset Infrastructure<br />

special rate reinstated,”<br />

Only Liberal Clr Ben Collins<br />

questioned the proposed rate<br />

rise, which is supported by General<br />

Manager Barry Smith.<br />

Ratepayers will be notified on<br />

how much more their households<br />

will pay and why.<br />

“It will be necessary to explain<br />

to the community the impact<br />

that the special rate (rise) will<br />

have, such as the percentage increase<br />

and whether the increase<br />

will be permanent or temporary,”<br />

the report adds.<br />

Hunters Hill Council is currently<br />

seeking reimbursement of the<br />

tens of thousands of dollars it<br />

spent fighting the state government’s<br />

unsuccessful proposed<br />

forced merger with Lane Cove<br />

and the City of Ryde.<br />

Potholes targeted<br />

in Hunters Hill plan<br />

POTHOLE repairs and park<br />

maintenance have emerged as<br />

key ratepayer concerns identified<br />

in the council’s new strategic<br />

plan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plan was endorsed by<br />

councillors on Monday night<br />

and recommends that dangerous<br />

potholes should be made<br />

safe within five days of council<br />

staff being notified.<br />

Footpath trip hazards should<br />

be made safe within five days<br />

and blocked municipal drains<br />

cleared within 24 hours.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plan further recommends<br />

that parks and reserves<br />

be mowed at least every four<br />

weeks in summer and every six<br />

weeks in winter with amenity<br />

blocks being cleaned every two<br />

days.<br />

Dangerous street trees will<br />

be removed within 30 days, although<br />

falling branches and<br />

branches impacting on power<br />

lines may not (necessarily) warrant<br />

a tree’s complete removal.<br />

Residents angry with waste<br />

collection being carried out during<br />

the night have had their concerns<br />

heard in the plan, which<br />

recommends that no waste collection<br />

be done before 6 am.<br />

Murdered Ryde woman Cecilia Haddad<br />

POLICE NEWS<br />

Police suspect lover of<br />

murdered Ryde woman<br />

<strong>The</strong> former boyfriend of murdered Ryde woman<br />

Cecilia Haddad (pictured) could avoid extradition<br />

from Brazil despite a police warrant for his arrest.<br />

Suspect Mario Marcelo Santoro left Australia the<br />

weekend Ms Haddad’s body was found in the Lane<br />

Cove River area in April.but the arrest warrant does<br />

not ensure Brazil will hand him over, due to the extradition<br />

process between the two countries.<br />

A car found parked at West Ryde railway station<br />

has been linked with the case alongside a set of<br />

keys - reported to have been found by police - witnesses<br />

said were thrown from a car on the Anzac<br />

Bridge.<br />

Police allege thirty eight year old Ms Haddad,<br />

told Santoro to move out of her Ryde apartment<br />

weeks before her body was found on Sunday, April<br />

29 but said there was no signs of a disturbance at<br />

her home.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Brazilian-born executive moved to Sydney in<br />

2016 to work in the mining industry.<br />

Her last confirmed sighting was at a local barbecue<br />

the night before she vanished and she is<br />

reported to have made a phone call to a friend the<br />

following morning<br />

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the NSW government<br />

will assist police.<br />

“We want to make sure justice is served,” she<br />

said.<br />

****<br />

A SUSPECTED drug dealer was arrested and<br />

charged in Eastwood on Saturday.<br />

Police allege the 47 year old Willoughby man was<br />

found with the drugs cocaine and methamphetamine<br />

during a search of his car in Rutledge Street<br />

around 9.15pm on Saturday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> search is also alleged to have found an electric<br />

scale, a blister pack containing 10 tablets of<br />

Alprozolam, a flick knife with a 9 centimetre blade,<br />

a multi-tool with a blade, a used ice pipe and three<br />

mobile phones.<br />

He was charged with two counts of Supply Prohibited<br />

Drug, two counts of Possess Prohibited<br />

Drug and Custody of Knife In Public Place.<br />

He was given conditional bail to appear in Burwood<br />

Local Court on <strong>July</strong> 16.


Wednesday 4 <strong>July</strong>, <strong>2018</strong> THE WEEKLY TIMES 13<br />

Comparison rates don’t give<br />

Australians enough credit<br />

COMPARISON Rates<br />

were rolled out by<br />

ASIC with good intentions<br />

but have turned<br />

out to be quite useless,<br />

so I’ll continue to<br />

lobby for their removal<br />

on the basis they’re<br />

just not real.<br />

A Comparison Rate<br />

(CR) is a made-up, notional<br />

and unrealistic<br />

‘rate’ which tries to include<br />

ongoing fees into<br />

the actual interest rate,<br />

in a rudimentary effort to<br />

estimate the true cost of<br />

a loan.<br />

It’s like a car salesman<br />

giving you a price on a<br />

car that wraps up their<br />

estimate of fuel and repairs<br />

in the next few<br />

years.<br />

If you have a mortgage<br />

you probably pay an annual<br />

‘Package Fee’ of<br />

around $395 per annum,<br />

which means you pay<br />

no other ongoing fees.<br />

For an $800,000 mortgage,<br />

a $395 annual fee<br />

is the equivalent of only<br />

0.05% on top of the<br />

rate.<br />

So why the big difference<br />

between the actual<br />

& Comparison rates? It’s<br />

because the advertised<br />

comparison rates must<br />

be calculated on the assumption<br />

of a $150,000<br />

loan.<br />

On a small loan like<br />

that the annual fee represents<br />

a whopping<br />

0.26% - so a packaged<br />

is usually not recommend<br />

on such a<br />

small amount and<br />

you don’t need to<br />

be a rocket scientist<br />

to see this is<br />

deceptive.<br />

<strong>The</strong> annual Package<br />

Fee also includes<br />

the annual fee waiver for<br />

a Platinum credit card<br />

– which might normally<br />

be $179. Date: 3 <strong>July</strong> Is <strong>2018</strong> this 10:48 factored am<br />

into the CR? No.<br />

Many of my clients get<br />

the Raquel, benefits of running<br />

dual offset accounts.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se are free too. Are<br />

these savings included<br />

in the CR? No.<br />

From: Anthony Stavrinos anthony@weeklytimes.com.au<br />

Subject: Fwd: iChoice hates Comparison Rates<br />

For clarity, the true<br />

costs Regards, of a loan depend<br />

on three things you need<br />

to ask your broker:<br />

Anthony<br />

1. SET UP COSTS:<br />

“what is the total cost,<br />

to the cent, to set up<br />

this -- loan/refinance? Is<br />

there<br />

ANTHONY<br />

a rebate?”<br />

STAVRINOS<br />

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

1. ONGOING FEES:<br />

m: +61 (0) 411 188 111<br />

“What ph: +61 (0) are 9807 the 6666 ongoing<br />

annual (or monthly)<br />

fees?” coffee: piccolo, no sugar!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Barefoot Broker<br />

1. RATE: “Including<br />

any lifetime discount,<br />

what is the actual rate?”<br />

Ask your broker for a<br />

10-year Cost Comparison<br />

Projection taking<br />

the three things above<br />

into account.<br />

Ten years will iron out<br />

any initial rebate, discounted<br />

first year rate<br />

and all that nonsense.<br />

Have been trying to copy this table out - but it's a stubborn one.<br />

Decided in the end to forward it as it only seems to render properly in an email.<br />

Here is an example<br />

relating to Dr Elle from<br />

Woolwich where I am<br />

refinancing her investment<br />

loan from CBA to<br />

another bank where I’ve<br />

negotiated a variable<br />

rate of 3.59%, which<br />

saves Elle over $8,000<br />

per year.<br />

And here is the comparison<br />

I provided her,<br />

which is much more<br />

with Jason Khoury<br />

meaningful than a Comparison<br />

Rate.<br />

I want to make something<br />

really clear -<br />

iChoice sounds like a<br />

franchise, but it isn’t. It’s<br />

a family business and<br />

there are no banks who<br />

own it with me.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact that iChoice is<br />

the only non-franchise<br />

All the elements you need seem to be there. Not sure which page it's going on as yet but Chris will have a fair idea.<br />

brokerage to be ranked<br />

by in the MPA Top 10<br />

brokerages in Australia<br />

and number one in<br />

NSW, warms my heart.<br />

It’s happened very<br />

quickly. I was a sole<br />

trader 3 years ago and<br />

have since employed 4<br />

staff and have a second<br />

office.<br />

Jason at Ryde Park on the weekend with little<br />

Simon, Jackson & Tyson<br />

How did I do it? <strong>The</strong><br />

trick is to be able to<br />

clearly explain things to<br />

people without all the<br />

jargon and sales-talk we<br />

all get sick of. I keep it<br />

real, unlike the banks,<br />

that ramble on about<br />

features.<br />

I concentrate on the<br />

benefits that these features<br />

provide, taking<br />

into account the client’s<br />

unique situation and<br />

measure success by the<br />

number of people I’ve<br />

helped, not by volumes<br />

and certainly not by income.<br />

I’m honest with a genuine<br />

passion to help<br />

others get safely ahead<br />

and I find it hard to distinguish<br />

between friends<br />

and clients, because I<br />

treat everybody in my<br />

life the same.<br />

My team - Victoria,<br />

Alexia and Maroun -<br />

have driven our growth,<br />

using the same principles<br />

I’ve outlined and<br />

are capable and compassionate<br />

people I’m<br />

proud to have among<br />

my dearest friends.<br />

On a totally unrelated<br />

subject, I took the kids<br />

for lunch on the weekend<br />

at the caf, in Ryde<br />

there. Maybe I should<br />

host a sausage sizzle for<br />

all <strong>TWT</strong> readers one day<br />

A million dollar park for<br />

Lane Cove community<br />

LANE Cove North has a new park thanks to a one million dollar grant from<br />

Lane Cove MP Anthony Roberts matched dollar for dollar by Lane Cove<br />

Council.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Mindarie Park will<br />

be located at the corner of<br />

Mindarie Street and Kullah<br />

Parade and will feature an inclusive<br />

playspace.<br />

Mr Roberts told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> the park will become a<br />

model park for other municipalities<br />

because it has been<br />

designed for all people in the<br />

community.<br />

“It will be open to young<br />

and old people from all backgrounds<br />

and all abilities,” he<br />

said.<br />

“Parks are something I’m<br />

passionate about and to have<br />

a new park where mums can<br />

play with small children and<br />

socialise with other mums is<br />

just so extraordinary and so<br />

important.”<br />

He thanked Lane Cove Mayor<br />

Pam Palmer and councillors<br />

for their enthusiastic support.<br />

“This is the result of what<br />

can be done when you have<br />

a positive community and a<br />

responsive council,” he said.<br />

Truckies fear a toll slug<br />

Mr Crouch said the speculated<br />

purchase by the Transurban<br />

group will give it an<br />

increased ability to secure<br />

new toll road concessions<br />

based on increasing the<br />

heavy vehicle multiplier on<br />

its existing toll road assets.<br />

He said this is because the<br />

Berejiklian Government’s<br />

tolling principles require<br />

truck tolls to be at least<br />

three times higher than car<br />

tolls and Transurban has<br />

demonstrated a willingness<br />

to use interstate truck toll<br />

multipliers as part of its case<br />

for increasing local multipliers.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 16,000 hardworking<br />

trucking businesses in<br />

New South Wales cannot afford<br />

the truck tolls they are<br />

charged now,” Mr Crouch<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> proposed sale would<br />

inevitably result in tolls becoming<br />

even higher.<br />

“Motorists have the ability<br />

to hop on the train or<br />

catch the bus if they wish to<br />

avoid toll roads, but a freight<br />

transporter can’t strap their<br />

load to the back of a bicycle<br />

and hope for the best.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> government argues<br />

that truck tolls reflect the increased<br />

road maintenance<br />

cost caused by heavy vehicle<br />

use but Mr Crouch rejects<br />

this.<br />

“For a fully laden, six-axle<br />

articulated truck, the estimated<br />

marginal cost of road<br />

wear on an urban toll road is<br />

16 cents per kilometre,” he<br />

said.<br />

“On the M7 for example,<br />

the truck toll of $1.19 per<br />

kilometre is more than seven<br />

times the actual cost.”

Ryde young guns shine<br />

in Champions Trophy<br />

By CHRIS KARAS<br />

RYDE Hunters Hill hockey wizards Tom Craig, Lachlan Sharp<br />

and Tim Brand have covered themselves in glory with the world<br />

champion Australian Kookaburras hockey team.<br />

<strong>The</strong> outstanding trio<br />

helped the Kookaburras<br />

clinch a record 15th Champions<br />

Trophy in Breda,<br />

Netherlands with a victory<br />

over India in the final in<br />

shootouts.<br />

It was a meritorious<br />

achievement by the local<br />

Panthers’ products who<br />

stamped their mark at the<br />

prestigious tournament with<br />

classy performances.<br />

Australia and India finished<br />

1-all at fulltime in the<br />

final before the Kookaburras<br />

secured the trophy 3-1 in<br />

the shootout with goals by<br />

co-captain Aran Zalewski,<br />

Daniel Beale and Jeremy<br />

Edwards.<br />

Gun strikers Craig and<br />

Brand and attacking midfielder<br />

Sharp have come<br />

through the junior and senior<br />

ranks at Ryde-Hunters<br />

Hill Hockey Club and are all<br />

former recipients of the <strong>TWT</strong><br />

Club Six/Ryde Sports Foundation<br />

Sports Star of the<br />

Year Award.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are now established<br />

members of this skilful and<br />

exciting Kookaburras line<br />

up - which is a proud feat for<br />

the respected Ryde club that<br />

competes in the Sydney Premier<br />

Hockey League.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kookaburras drew<br />

3-all in their opening Champions<br />

Trophy clash with Belgium<br />

with Sharp nabbing a<br />

goal before posting victories<br />

over Pakistan (2-1), India<br />

(3-2) with Sharp and Hogan<br />

among the goal scorers and<br />

<strong>The</strong> Netherlands (3-1).<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir only defeat came in<br />

the final pool match against<br />

Argentina who registered a<br />

3-2 upset with 19 year old<br />

ace Tim Brand notching a<br />

double - his first goals for<br />

Australia at senior international<br />

level.<br />

20 year old Sharp and<br />

Craig, 23, were part of Australia’s<br />

triumphant Commonwealth<br />

Games team that<br />

captured gold on the Gold<br />

Ryde Hockey young guns Lachlan Sharp, Tom Craig and<br />

Tim Brand played key roles for the Kookaburras, who collected<br />

yet another Champions Trophy on Monday morning<br />

in Breda, Netherlands.<br />

Coast earlier this year.<br />

Young gun Sharp has experienced<br />

an incredible<br />

six month period with the<br />

mighty Kookaburras since<br />

making his senior international<br />

debut last December.<br />

Livewire Lachlan helped<br />

Australia claim back-to-back<br />

Hockey World League titles<br />

before playing alongside<br />

Ryde club mate Craig as<br />

the Kookaburras lifted the<br />

Sultan Azlan Shah Cup and<br />

Commonwealth Games titles.<br />

“What a wonderful tournament<br />

by our three heroes,”<br />

beamed a proud Ryde-<br />

Hunters Hill Hockey Club<br />

president Glen Castensen<br />

yesterday.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Club couldn’t be more<br />

delighted for them and their<br />

families,” he said.<br />

“It’s been an amazing week<br />

watching them perform so<br />

well on the highest international<br />

stage and play such<br />

critical roles for the world<br />

number one team - the<br />

Kookaburras success.<br />

“It’s such a special moment<br />

for them, our Club and everyone<br />

who has and continues<br />

to support these world<br />

class young men. Bravo Lachi,<br />

Tim and Tom.”<br />

This was the final iteration<br />

of the Champions Trophy<br />

which will now be replaced<br />

by the FIH Pro League from<br />

2019.<br />

All eyes now turn to the<br />

Men’s World Cup in November.<br />

Reigning <strong>TWT</strong> Club Six/Ryde Sports Foundation Sports Star of the Year Lachlan Sharp<br />

holds the silverware as Australia’s mighty Kookaburras celebrate a record 15th Champions<br />

Hockey Trophy title after defeating India in the final.<br />

Rabbitohs sign Tigers son of a gun<br />

SOUTH Sydney have<br />

secured the services of<br />

Wests Tigers’ emerging<br />

utility forward Bayley<br />

Sironen (pictured).<br />

<strong>The</strong> talented 21 year old<br />

colt, who is the youngest son<br />

of legendary Balmain international<br />

forward Paul Sironen<br />

and kid brother of Manly back<br />

rower Curtis Sironen, has<br />

signed a one-year deal with<br />

the Rabbitohs from 2019 with<br />

a one year option.<br />

Bayley is yet another product<br />

of the Tigers’ proud rugby<br />

league nursery at Holy Cross<br />

College Ryde and made two<br />

NRL appearances with the<br />

joint venture club last season.<br />

He will join his former Holy<br />

Cross Rhinos, Balmain junior<br />

representative and U/20s<br />

Holden Cup team mate Junior<br />

Tatola at the Rabbitohs next<br />

season.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair formed a crack<br />

combination for eleven seasons<br />

with the powerful Rhinos<br />

- winning a swag of premierships<br />

in the Balmain Junior<br />

League and Combined Sydney<br />

competitions.<br />

Bayley skippered the Tigers<br />

in the U/16 Harold Matthews<br />

and U/18 S.G Ball Cup series<br />

and tasted success with the<br />

NSW U/16 and U/20 representative<br />

teams.<br />

<strong>The</strong> skilful forward was rewarded<br />

for his strong performances<br />

in the Western<br />

Suburbs Magpies team this<br />

season in the Intrust Super<br />

premiership with a NSW Residents<br />

jumper.<br />

Bayley helped the Blues blitz<br />

Queensland Residents 36-20<br />

in the recent interstate challenge<br />

at ANZ Stadium that<br />

was played as a curtain raiser<br />

to State of Origin 2.<br />

He was joined in the NSW<br />

side by Western Suburbs<br />

Magpies forward team mates<br />

Luke Garner and Jacob<br />

Felise, who was released by<br />

the Tigers before the June 30<br />

deadline to join the Newcastle<br />

Knights.<br />

Tigers fans and supporters in their many thousands welcomed the Black-n-Golds back<br />

to their heritage home at Leichhardt Oval HQ on Sunday arvo with a sell-out crowd.<br />

By the one-eyed Tiger<br />

<strong>The</strong> fans voted with<br />

their feet and pockets to<br />

show the rugby league<br />

hierarchy that they want<br />

more Club games at their<br />

local home suburban<br />

grounds and not the<br />

huge heartless and<br />

soulless mega stadiums.<br />

Olympic size stadiums<br />

should be reserved for<br />

just that: Olympic events<br />

and other minor codes<br />

such as aerial pingpong<br />

and the likes.<br />

Leichhardt Oval was<br />

built for rugby league<br />

and it is the word’s best<br />

rugby league football<br />

venue acclaimed by both<br />

local Tigers and even<br />

visiting players who say<br />

there is no other ground<br />

to compare with it for its<br />

unique atmosphere or<br />

appearance.<br />

You could’ve even<br />

asked former rugby<br />

league referee, NSW<br />

Minister for Sport and<br />

now Gold Coast Tiddlies<br />

boss Graham Annersley<br />

on Sunday what he<br />

thought about our Holy<br />

Grail as I did.<br />

He beamed it is an<br />

absolutely fantastic<br />

ground win or lose and<br />

he has more experience<br />

in losing than winning<br />

with his mob.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tigers are now<br />

ideally positioned to start<br />

their run for grand final<br />

glory honours this week<br />

with a guaranteed two<br />

points this weekend.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are perfectly<br />

placed to play the<br />

underdog as they climb<br />

up the ladder for a<br />

grand final fixture at the<br />

Olympus arena Sunday<br />

September 30 with <strong>The</strong><br />
