DARWIN DEMOLITION 

Eels on track to break Premiership drought 

The Parramatta Eels have reached the quarter-way 

mark of the NRL season with just one loss as they look 

to break a Premiership drought that dates back 35 years. 

They returned from TIO Stadium in Darwin with two 

more competition points in the bag, thumping 

Brisbane 46-6 and sounding a warning siren to 

premiership favourites and western Sydney 

rivals Penrith. 

Only the Panthers stand between the Eels 

and the top of the NRL ladder. 

Parramatta face last placed Canterbury 

this Saturday night at Stadium 

Australia before a blockbuster 

against the Sydney Roosters at 

Bankwest Stadium on Friday, 

May 7.

WE REMEMBERED THEM 

Special tributes to the fallen at ANZAC services 

COVID-19 restrictions meant numbers were 

down on previous years, but hundreds still 

attended Dawn Services in Parramatta and 

surrounds on Sunday, paying their respects on 

ANZAC Day. 

Wreaths were laid in commemoration of 

those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy 

today, while the sounding of ‘The Last Post’ cut 

through the chill of the morning air. 

Many of those who couldn't attend Dawn 

Services took part in simple, solemn driveway 

services, or watched live streams of commemorations.

ANZAC Day 2021 

LORD 

MAYOR’S 

MESSAGE 

CR BOB 

DWYER 

On Sunday I attended the ANZAC Day Dawn 

Service hosted by the Parramatta RSL sub- 

Branch to remember and honour all the 

Australian and New Zealand men and women 

who served and sacrificed for our nation. It 

was a moving ceremony, and it was wonderful 

to see our community come together in 

commemoration of ANZAC Day once again 

after not being able to do so last year. 

I would like to recognise and thank the 

Parramatta and Epping RSL sub-Branches for 

hosting COVID-safe ceremonies and for all of 

the support they provide to our local veterans 

and community. 

You can access Council’s ANZAC Day Online 

Experience until 2 May. It includes a range of 

historical articles, photos, and stories from 

local soldiers, as well as the details of a special 

conservation project. The Online Experience 

can be accessed at cityofparramatta.co/

EducateAT Parramatta Alliance 

Last week we launched a ground-breaking 

alliance to help establish Parramatta as the 

best city in Australia for students to study and 

succeed. The EducateAT Parramatta Alliance 

unites top universities that have a presence in 

Parramatta to advocate for, and attract talent 

to, our City. 

A ceremony was held on Wednesday 21 April 

at Western Sydney University’s Parramatta 

City campus to sign the EducateAT Parramatta 

Charter. I signed the charter along with 

City of Parramatta CEO Brett Newman and 

representatives from Western Sydney University, 

University of Sydney, UNSW Sydney, University 

of New England, Swinburne University of 

Technology, and the Western Sydney Local 

Health District. 

Under this charter, alliance members will 

develop a range of projects to position 

Parramatta as a destination for educational 

excellence; advocate for more affordable 

student accommodation and better transport 

options; link students with industry; and improve 

the City’s liveability and sustainability. 

Parramatta is already known for its $1.6 billion 

education sector, which includes world-class 

universities and the respected Westmead 

Health Precinct. I am looking forward to working 

with this alliance to achieve our shared vision of 

making the centre of global Sydney a thriving 

hub of academic excellence and vocational 

training. 

and introduce them to new and broader 

audiences, as well as inspire future generations.

Sydney Writers’ Festival events in 

Parramatta 

Sydney Writers’ Festival has returned for 2021, 

with special events running until 2 May. This 

is a great opportunity for us to highlight and 

support our local writers, artists, and performers 

I was pleased to hear that the Parramatta River 

Catchment Group (PRCG) has been awarded 

the 2021 Stormwater National Awards for 

Excellence in Strategic or Master Planning. As 

one of the founding members of the PRCG, 

City of Parramatta Council is proud to be 

a leading player in the development of the 

PRCG Masterplan, which will help to make the 

Parramatta River swimmable. 

Council believes that cleaning up the 

Parramatta River is critical to making our 

City a great place to live and work, and I am 

looking forward to continuing to build strong 

partnerships with our surrounding councils, 

State Government agencies, and local 

community groups to ensure we achieve our 

collective goal of making Parramatta River 

swimmable again.

Dwyer: Let the 

people decide 

NICOLA BARTON 

The people of Parramatta could be 

given the power to elect their own 

Lord Mayor, if Councillors choose 

to support it. 

Lord Mayor Bob Dwyer has put forward 

a notice of motion, calling for Council to 

hold a constitutional referendum at this 

September’s Local Government Election 

to canvass voters on introducing a popularly 

elected Lord Mayor from September 

2024. 

Traditionally, City of Parramatta Councillors 

have selected their own Lord Mayor, 

which has seen a significant number of 

differing representatives in the position. 

There are only four Lord Mayors in the 

State of NSW. 

The City of Parramatta is the only of the 

four that does not popularly elect its Lord 

Mayor. 

Cr Dwyer said it’s time for the residents 

of Parramatta to have their say about who 

they would like to support for the position. 

“On the basis that in more recent times, 

we have been favourably compared with 

the City of Sydney Council, then I have 

a passionate view that it is time City of 

Parramatta also have a popularly elected 

Lord Mayor for a four year period,” he said 

“I believe a popularly elected Lord Mayor 

in the City of Parramatta is required by 

September 2024 due to the ongoing growth 

of our city into a true major commercial 

city. 

“We are already the Central River City, as 

designed by the State Government, to be 

Sydney’s second Central Business District. 

“By September 2024 I will certainly not 

be a City of Parramatta Councillor, hence 

my thoughts are merely about the future of 

the City of Parramatta.” 

Other western Sydney Councils with a 

popularly elected Mayor include The Hills 

Shire and Fairfield City Councils. 

Earlier this year a Penrith City Councillor 

similarly attempted to put forward a 

motion calling for a constitutional referendum, 

however it was defeated. 

Cr Dwyer said he appreciated most of 

his Councillor colleagues do not intend to 

support his motion, however he believes if 

a constitutional referendum is deferred, it 

will be “too late” for the City of Parramatta. 

“We need to think about the future; if 

this isn’t supported it won’t be until 2028 

that we can revisit this again,” he said. 

This year’s election is on September 4.

Editor’s Note

Troy Dodds 

@troydodds 

We must always remember 

It may have been a little different to 

what we’re used to, but ANZAC Day was 

still very special on Sunday. 

What we’ve learned this year and last is 

that it doesn’t matter where or how you 

commemorate this important day, it’s 

that you do it at all. 

Whether you stood on your driveway or 

balcony, watched a livestream or managed 

to get to a Dawn Service, the very 

fact you dedicated a slice of your day to 

those who fought for the lives we enjoy 

today is so important. 

We can never, ever lose this tradition. 

It’s up to us to ensure it survives.

Joy of running with strangers 

The Uber driver pulls up at the end of 

the road. “What’s going on here?” he 

turns to me, bewildered. 

Trumper Street, Ermington certainly 

looks a sight at 7.56am on what’s meant 

to be a sleepy Saturday morning. Dozens 

of men, women, boys and girls are 

converging on George Kendall Riverside 

Park from all directions. Some in hoodies, 

others singlets, making a beeline for 

the start line. Because everyone knows 

the Parramatta parkrun starts at 8am. On 

the dot. 

It was so tempting not to bother. I’d 

stopped doing parkrun when it got mothballed 

during COVID. 

And my car was conked out (hence the 

last-minute Uber dash). But I’d faithfully 

promised a friend. 

Suddenly here we all were: an amazing 

turnout of 301 runners doing our best to 

socially distance as the race coordinator 

barked out pre-event instructions and led 

us in applause for the volunteers. 

You might think what weird people 

would want to do a timed 5-kilometre run 

with hundreds of strangers when they 

could be having breakfast in bed? You’d 

be wrong. Parkrun might have once felt 

like a cult. But it’s now a suburban phenomenon.

News...............................................1-17 

Horoscopes.................................18 

Founded by Paul Sinton-Hewitt in 2004, 

the first race was staged in London. Since 

then, the movement has gone global. Our 

local franchise, which winds scenically 

along the Parramatta River almost to Rydalmere 

wharf before turning back – has 

been staged 395 times. 

The great thing at Ermo is everyone is 

welcome. People pushing prams, chatting 

with neighbours or running with dogs. 

Primary school long distance champions. 

Puffing 60-year-olds drenched in sweat. 

Others taking it easy as they recover from 

injury. 

And I guess people like me, fast approaching 

their mid-life crisis, where the 

only sensible option might be to train for 

that elusive marathon. 

The lure of parkrun isn’t about the times 

(although it still hurts to be overtaken by 

a little squirt, one-quarter your size). But 

the camaraderie from putting an event 

together. 

It really takes a community to make 

each Saturday work – just as it took a pandemic 

to stop it. 

From the wardens who march out early 

to mark the course, to the people scanning 

barcodes, brandishing stopwatches 

and performing first aid. 

There’s a great spirit of mateship among 

Entertainment ....................19-27 

Business Directory ......28-30 

runners too, as people encourage each 

other or warn of approaching collisions 

(because for some reason, the course also 

seems to attract every cyclist this side of 

the Tour De France). 

In Sinton-Hewitt’s words: “The regularity 

and reliability of parkrun provides 

a comfort that comes from knowing it is 

always the same time, the same place, the 

same friendly faces. As is it for so many of 

you, parkrun is my sanctuary.” 

On this day, I’m a little rusty. And I ruefully 

learn that socially distancing from 

the lead pack won’t be a problem. 

There’s a moment on the return leg 

when you feel like petering out to a walk. 

Particularly as you approach “Heartbreak 

Hill”, the ironic name my friends have 

coined for a slight ascent from the river 

that’s only 10 metres long but inconvenient 

nonetheless. 

But something steels me. Maybe it’s the 

thought of Corroboree Café at Ermington 

shops after the race, home to the bestvalue 

“big breakfast” in Sydney. Or simply 

the knowledge that I’ve done the hard 

part – getting out of bed – so I can bound 

into the weekend with positivity and life 

with new energy. 

If you haven’t done so already, check 

out parkrun.

Still looking for answers 

Coroner says Granville schoolgirl was murdered 

NICOLA BARTON 

Missing Granville school girl 

Quanne Diec died by homicide, 

a Coroner has found but many 

unanswered questions remain for her 

family. 

It’s been almost 23 years since the 

12-year-old disappeared when walking 

from her home to catch a train to school, 

but to this day her body has never been 

found. Despite the meticulous investigation 

that followed no substantial evidence, 

other than circumstantial, was uncovered. 

NSW Police suspected she was deceased 

and so the matter was referred to the Coroners 

Court. 

An inquest into her death commenced 

recently where NSW Deputy State Coroner 

Magistrate Derek Lee ruled that Quanne 

died the day she went missing on July 27, 

1998 or after. 

Despite no solid evidence leading to the 

place or precise cause of death, Mr Lee 

found the victim died by homicide. 

“It is most likely that Quanne went 

missing, and died in suspicious circumstances,” 

he found. 

“The manner of death is therefore homicide. 

“The absence of any postmortem examination 

does not allow for any finding to be 

made as to the precise cause of Quanne’s 

death.” 

The question as to where Quanne’s 

remains lie and who is responsible 

remains a mystery. 

Despite former nightclub bouncer 

Vinzent Tarantino previously confessing 

to her murder, he was found not guilty of 

the crime in 2019. 

Mr Tarantino’s former partner Laila 

Faily was the first to report his confessions 

to police, claiming he admitted to murdering 

Quanne by strangling her on his bed. 

Mr Tarantino later confessed to police 

himself, claiming it was a “ransom gone 

wrong”. 

He was subsequently charged with 

murder, however later pleaded not guilty, 

telling the Supreme Court he had only 

made the admissions due to fear of reprisal 

from members of an outlaw motorcycle 

gang. 

Without substantial evidence linking 

him to the crime, he was found not guilty 

in court. 

Quanne Diec went missing in 1998. 

He does, however, remain a person of 

interest to police. 

Mr Lee has recommended the case be 

referred to the State Crime Command 

Unsolved Homicide Team. 

“It is hoped that one day some further 

information will be provided to Quanne’s 

family to hopefully allow them to find 

some measure of solace from such a tragic 

and devastating event,” he said.

Anzac memory lives on 

Before dawn on 25 April 1915, the first 

soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand 

Army Corps landed on the shores of the 

Gallipoli peninsula. They were some of at least 

130,000 soldiers on both sides who lost their 

lives at Gallipoli. 

April 25th is not about military victory. Instead, 

it’s a commemorative day when the loss of war 

first scarred the conscience of Australia. 

The loss was felt across the whole community. 

Anzac Day has become an occasion to honour 

all who have worn our country’s uniform in 

service. It is a day of gatherings of veterans, 

of reunions, of services, of community 

involvement, of reflection and appreciating 

our forebears. 

Supporting small business 

I met with the team at Lloyds Enterprise last 

week in my ongoing effort to support thriving 

small business. 

Lloyds Enterprise engages high-net-worth 

individuals and provides them with an array of 

professional services. From business advisory, 

corporate finance, management consulting 

to large project consulting, Lloyds Enterprise 

assists its clientele in growing their business to 

a successfully sustainable entity with increased 

wealth opportunities. 

At Cumberland City Council we take pride in 

supporting our local businesses. 

Meet Your Mayor success 

Every week I take a couple of hours to meet 

with community face-to-face at shopping 

centres, train stations and community centres 

in what I’ve called “Meet Your Mayor” 

sessions. It’s an opportunity for me to listen 

to issues and concerns. 

I’m proud to announce that over 300 

enquiries have been raised at my weekly 

“Meet Your Mayor” sessions since this 

initiative began. To date, 86% of issues 

raised have been resolved to our 

residents’ satisfaction. 

My approach has always been accessibility to 

residents so I am glad we are able to achieve 

outcomes together. 

It’s important to look at the way we service 

the community, and these face-to-face 

sessions have been a real game changer 

offering insight into what residents have 

come to expect from Council. 

In Cumberland City, we have a strong veteran 

history. Anzac Day is of great importance 

to me and honouring and respecting the 

memory of our fallen soldiers and those who 

have served our great nation will always be of 

great priority to Cumberland City Council. 

I will ensure we will continue to honour their 

legacy with monuments across the region 

dedicated to those who have served. 

It has been over 100 years since the First 

World War ended. But these Australians 

paved the way for the freedoms and values 

we cherish today. 

We will continue to honour their courage and 

continue to support and encourage our local 

RSLs with all resources available to us. 

We will continue to support our residents and local 

businesses to the best of our abilities with every 

resource available to us. 

Mayor Steve Christou with Joseph Moussa and George Tamer 

of Lloyds Enterprise and staff. 

I am regularly approached on a range of 

topics from infrastructure upgrades to parks, 

schools, housing, immigration, health, waste, 

traffic safety, and other issues where residents 

would like assistance. 

I’m delighted that residents have taken us up 

on the offer to connect and I am extremely 

pleased with our success rate. 

We’re here to help so please come and visit 

me at one of my “Meet Your Mayor” sessions 

in Stockland Merrylands and other locations.

Emergency services arrived a short 

time later and extinguished the fire. 

Both men were arrested by police and

Seven Hills: Police appeal for help 

after robbery and assault 

Police are investigating after a man was 

injured during a robbery and assault at 

Seven Hills recently. 

About 11.20pm on Monday, April 19, 

a man was walking towards his parked 

car on Best Road when he noticed a man 

inside. 

As he neared the Audi, the other man 

saw him approaching and ran from the 

scene. 

The owner of the car chased the man in 

his vehicle into Boomerang Place where 

he stopped and confronted the other 

man and an altercation commenced. 

Police have been told the man produced 

a weapon and assaulted the driver before

The 43-year-old man was treated at the 

scene for facial injuries by NSW Ambulance 

Paramedics before being taken to 

Blacktown Hospital in a stable condition. 

Police are now searching for a man 

described as being of Caucasian appearance 

with a chubby build wearing a 

cream or grey hooded jumper.

Bridge is quite a sight 

Construction continues on 

NICOLA BARTON 

big infrastructure project 

If you drive on James Ruse Drive, it’s 

unlikely you’ll miss it, as the second 

longest steel arch bridge in the state is 

assembled. 

The bridge, once completed, will connect 

light rail users, cyclists and pedestrians 

when the Parramatta Light Rail opens in 

2023. 

Minister for Transport and Roads 

Andrew Constance said the biggest of 

the six bridges being constructed for the 

project will stretch across six lanes of 

traffic on James Ruse Drive in Rosehill, to 

accommodate the new light rail and walking 

and bike-riding path. 

“The giant bronze arches will be an 

amazing sight for locals and anyone travelling 

through the area,” he said. 

“The new bridge has the second longest 

steel arch bridge span in the state, behind 

the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 

“This bridge is currently on a construction 

site next to James Ruse Drive, where 

the fabricated steelwork, each piece 

weighing up to 60 tonnes, has been assembled 

to build the 15-metre-high steel arch.” 

It’s hard to miss construction of the new bridge. Photo: Melissa Stevens. 

The Australian-made steelwork for the 

bridge was fabricated by western Sydney 

based company, S&L Steel, before it was 

transported to Rosehill for assembly. 

Parramatta MP Geoff Lee said the 

project is committed to using Australian 

resources wherever possible and supporting 

local jobs. 

“The Australian steel was fabricated in 

a workshop at Rooty Hill, creating around 

50 jobs for western Sydney,” he said. 

“The bridge will be a great asset for the 

local community as it will not only support 

the new light rail, but it will make it much 

safer for pedestrians and cyclists to cross 

the very busy James Ruse Drive.” 

Over the coming weeks, the temporary 

support frames will be removed, and 

the arch will be fitted out with precast 

concrete, concrete deck, precast concrete 

barriers, and temporary steel railing and 

protection screens. 

After this is completed, the 1425-tonne 

steel and concrete structure will be lifted 

into place during a weekend closure of 

James Ruse Drive at some point in the 

coming months.

Honour fallen Anzacs by 

supporting our veterans 

Anzac Day in 2020 was very different for all of us. 

The ceremonies and marches were cancelled, but people in 

Parramatta still found ways to pay our respects under COVID 

restrictions. 

I joined people ar ound Australia reflecting on the sacrific es 

made by our veterans and those who continue to serve by 

holding my own dawn service on my balcony as part of Light 

up the Dawn. 

While we lit candles in socially dis tanced safety, defence 

personnel worked tirelessly to support the pandemic response. 

Their efforts contact tracing, in quarantine and at state border 

checkpoints helped s top the spread and make community 

commemorations possible this year. 

On Sunday I was honoured to be part of services held by 

the City of Parramatta RSL Sub-branch, Granville RSL Subbranch 

and the Consortium of Tamil Associations NSW in 

Wentworthville. 

This is important – but our support f or veterans shouldn’t start 

and finish with symbolic recognition on Anzac Day. 

Since the start of the Afghan war, we have lost many more 

veterans to suicide than soldiers killed in combat. 

Veterans have been telling us for years now that we need a 

Royal Commission into this unending tragedy. The Morrison 

Government resisted their calls – proposing a National 

Commissioner for Defence and Veteran Suicide Prevention, 

More affordable child care 

Australians pay some of the highest child care 

costs in the world. In fact, fees have gone up 

more than 35% under the Liberals. That’s why 

Labor will make it more affordable for 97% of 

families with childr en in child care – scan the QR 

code to find out how much you’ll save. 

ADVERTISEMENT 

Julie Owens Bulletin 

despite veterans’ concerns that it would not have the 

independence, scope or resources of a Royal Commission – 

before finally calling a R oyal Commission last week. 

Labor is disappoint ed this has taken so long, but we are 

ready to work with the Government to make sure this Royal 

Commission has the strong and broad powers and Terms of 

Reference that it needs. 

Unfortunately, early reports indicate that it will not cover 

the role of departments lik e Defence and Veterans’ Affairs, 

previous reviews and inquiries like the 2019 Productivity 

Commission report, veteran homelessness, or the impact of 

anti-malarial drug trials on v eterans’ mental health. 

The Morrison Government needs to do better – and the first 

step is to consult widely on how the Royal Commission should 

be run. This means listening to the voices of the veterans’ 

community and the families of veterans who have tragically 

died by suicide and can no longer speak f or themselves. 

One of the best ways to honour the service of our fallen 

diggers is to look after our living servic e men and women 

and their families through a strong veteran support system. 

Listening to the voices of veterans and their families through 

this Royal Commission is a crucial s tep towards building one.

no question players need to make 

smarter choices, the focus needs 

to be on the individual who allegedly illegally

the real issue is much, much deeper. Hopefully 

we can do better moving forward.

A 

charity for children with 

rare forms of dementia 

will receive a generous 

community donation, after local 

residents banded together for 

the worthy cause. 

Laing+Simmons Wentworthville 

Sales Manager, Leon 

Gietzmann coordinated the 

community initiative after a 

twist of fate saw him help local 

resident, Ingrid Maack purchase 

her new home. 

Ms Maack has been heavily 

involved with fundraising initiatives 

for the Sanfilippo Children’s 

Foundation. 

Sanfilippo is a rare genetic 

condition that causes childhood 

dementia and fatal brain damage. 

Most children with the condition 

never reach adulthood. 

When Mr Gietzmann heard of 

her work, he said, it really struck 

a chord. 

“Understanding the passion

for this important community 

organisation, I realised that there 

was a way for Laing+Simmons to 

contribute as well,” he said. 

Mr Gietzmann wanted to help 

in a way that was close to his own 

heart: gardening. 

“I’m a green thumb throughand-through, 

and I run a plant 

swap group with nearly 400 

members. I felt if I organised 

donations for a plant sale that the 

community would respond, and 

they did,” he said.

over 100 attendees on the day. 

So far about $2000 has been 

raised but Mr Gietzmann is 

hoping to raise $5000.

A 

new program aimed at improving 

work prospects for older 

Australians with disability is 

coming to western Sydney. 

AimBig Employment will launch its 

pilot SkillRestart program this month, 

with the aim to challenge stereotypes 

and increase job opportunities for 

mature workers with disability. 

The most recent review into Australia’s 

retirement income system found 

that almost 20 per cent of Australians 

between 55 and 64-years-old were 

receiving either JobSeeker, the Carer 

Payment or the Disability Support 

Pension. 

It also highlighted that it usually took 

much longer for older Australians to find 

a new job than younger job seekers. 

Add disability into the mix and the 

employment opportunities for mature 

workers become even scarcer. 

SkillRestart is a practical, hands-on 

group training program that runs for 12 

weeks. At the same time participants 

will be working towards a Certificate 

III in Business and work with real businesses 

throughout the training to come 

out with practical experience. 

AimBig Employment General Manager 

Terry Wilson said the focus on digital 

literacy and confidence is critical.

New program aims to help

NICOLA BARTON 

A new jobs program is headed our way. 

“It is easy to feel left behind with today’s 

rapidly changing workplace technology 

and software, particularly if you never 

worked in an office environment or have 

experienced a break in employment,” he 

said. 

“Unfortunately, the odds are unfairly 

stacked against mature Australians 

with disability, but employers can get so 

much from this group if they are willing 

to give them a chance.” 

AimBig Employment are looking for 

participants in western Sydney to take 

part in the free pilot program. 

Participants must be over 50-years-old 

and have a disability.

Property attracts big price 

$12.3 million sale proves popularity of Lidcombe 

NICOLA BARTON 

An Adidas-anchored, blue-chip 

property in Lidcombe has sold to 

a private investor for a whopping 

$12.3 million. 

The sale of the property, situated at 55-59 

Parramatta Road, Lidcombe represents a 

net yield of 5.6 per cent, making it a landmark 

high-profile investment in the area. 

Real estate professionals believe it 

indicates high investment interest in 

Lidcombe and surrounding suburbs. 

The property was marketed and sold by 

Ray White Commercial Western Sydney 

Senior Sales Executive Jai Sethi, Managing 

Director Peter Vines, and Asian Investment 

Services Director Victor Sheu. 

Fully leased, the 2,595sqm space on a 

prominent corner block was offered to the 

market via expressions of interest. 

Mr Sethi said they received over 100 

enquiries, issuing multiple contracts as 

the campaign rolled out, with buyer interest 

from across the country. 

“This fully leased asset represented a 

highly sought-after opportunity to acquire 

a secure investment with projected future 

A property on Parramatta Road at Lidcombe has attracted a huge sale price. 

upside in the epicentre of the Parramatta 

Road bulky goods retail corridor,” he said. 

“We believe that convenience-based 

retail is hugely benefitting from consumers 

not having to go into shopping centres. 

“The potential to value-add, reposition 

or redevelop with bonus FSR available for 

specific developments (subject to council 

approval), really appealed to the investment 

market. 

“The property also benefits from the high 

exposure corner position on Parramatta 

Road which accommodates over three 

million commuters every year.” 

The building is currently anchored 

by Adidas and is further occupied by a 

number of other tenants. 

Mr Sheu said Lidcombe is an attractive 

suburb for prospective investors. 

“One of the most well-equipped suburbs 

in all of Sydney, Lidcombe is home to an 

immense amount of variety in multiple 

forms – housing, businesses, restaurants, 

streetscapes, and even cultures,” he said. 

“The range of interest received as part of 

the campaign was local Asian groups. 

“Some were occupiers looking to potentially 

take over part of the building, but a 

number were investors with a view to hold 

and tap into the underlying upside of the 

location in the future. 

“Deals like the recent $129.5 million sale 

of Auburn Central shopping centre tells 

us that Lidcombe and areas around this 

suburb are becoming a real attraction for 

the investor market.”

Getting back on track 

After the pandemic drove us to the pantry, it’s time for a health overhaul 

NICOLA BARTON 

It’s an understatement to say the past 

12 months have been a rollercoaster, 

from pandemic health concerns and 

economic uncertainty, to lockdown and 

restrictions; but what impact has it had 

on our waistlines? 

According to a CSIRO survey undertaken 

in June last year, 34 per cent of Australians 

reported frequently raiding the pantry 

for snacks, with 32 per cent reporting 

increased ‘comfort eating’ of junk foods. 

The issue of unhealthy eating habits and 

being overweight is nothing new, with 25.5 

per cent of the Parramatta Local Government 

Area considered as being obese, 

according to 2019 data released by the 

Mitchell Institute. 

Local Dietician and Newington-local, 

Tuo Tao says it’s time to get back on track. 

“The statistics show a lot of people put 

on weight during the pandemic,” he told 

Parra News. 

“When people started working from 

home, they began snacking a lot more, 

they lost their usual structure of eating 

and others weren’t exercising as much.” 

Dietician Tuo Tao doing a supermarket tour with a customer. 

Last year during the pandemic’s peak, Mr 

Tao launched an online platform and free 

Facebook community called Eat Savvi, 

aimed at providing tips for individuals, 

couples and families to make positive, 

healthy changes in their lives. 

When it comes to knowing which products 

to choose, fads and placebos can 

make it difficult to navigate through the 

wealth of products available. 

Uniquely for Parramatta, as a place of 

such rich diversity, it’s not a simple cookie 

cutter approach when it comes to improving 

your diet. 

“It can be overwhelming with all the 

thousands of types of foods on offer and 

that prompted me to help people navigate 

that, not just through the pandemic but to 

make long term lifestyle changes,” Mr Tao 

said. 

“Now I use social media to provide hands 

on tips, catered to different cultures and 

lifestyles and also talk about a lot of trendy 

foods and what is good or not good.” 

For those who don’t know where to start, 

Mr Tao says “be mindful”. 

“My first tip to start with is always to be 

mindful when it comes to food and to use 

all your sensations to enjoy food,” Mr Tao 

said. 

“Get 100 per cent satisfaction from the 

foods you love, rather than just scoffing 

down so that when you do have them you 

are really taking that in. 

“Cutting out carbohydrates and sugar 

is important but easier said than done so 

start small.”

AQUARIUS 

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19 

The current planetary placements (the 

Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus are 

visiting your home zone and Saturn is 

sauntering through your sign) are teaching 

you to slow down and appreciate 

the wisdom in your world, the people 

in your life and the love in your heart. 

So be inspired by birthday great, singersongwriter 

Willie Nelson: “I take it not 

only a day at a time, but a moment at a 

time, and keep it at that pace. If you can 

be happy right now, then you’ll always 

be happy”.

PISCES 

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20 

You need to be clear and straightforward 

in the way you communicate with 

other people this week. Don’t waste precious 

time pussyfooting around or being 

‘creatively elastic’ with the truth. With 

four planets in earthy Taurus, it’s time 

to be a more practical Pisces and stick 

to the facts, especially when it comes to 

relatives, neighbours and local community 

matters. By all means escape into a 

fabulous fantasy world – but make sure 

you can step back into reality when it’s 

required! 

ARIES 

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20 

Monday night’s Full Supermoon increases 

your magnetism and boosts 

your ability to inspire others and transform 

your own life. So do your best to 

find appropriate ways to let off steam 

and choose challenging projects to 

channel your fiery energy into. A major 

relationship (whether of the romantic, 

platonic or professional variety) could 

also go through a metamorphosis, as 

you voice your concerns in a respectful 

way and work through a problem that’s 

been holding you back. 

TAURUS 

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21 

With unpredictable Uranus still moving 

slowly through Taurus, old rules 

have changed and outdated ideologies 

have been replaced. Change, disruption 

and transformation are the new norm. 

So businesses need to innovate; communities 

need to be creative; people 

need to pivot; and Bulls need to be very 

adaptable. So your motto for the moment 

is from birthday great, comedian 

and producer Jerry Seinfeld: “If life boils 

down to one thing, it’s movement. To 

live is to keep moving”.

MAY 22 TO JUNE 21 

CANCER

VIRGO 

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23 

Avoid being a superficial and garrulous 

Gemini. You’ll find there’s a lot 

more going on beneath the surface than 

meets the eye. The planets (especially 

the Supermoon in Scorpio) encourage 

you to slow down, strip back the layers 

of polite conversation, dive deep, listen 

and do some learning. Venus, Neptune 

and Pluto also boost creativity, compassion, 

perception and intuition. So you’ll 

find thoughtful observation and insightful 

soul-searching will take you far this 

week Twins. 

On Monday night there’s a Full Supermoon 

(in fellow water sign Scorpio). 

So expect an emotionally intense week 

when unresolved issues with a partner, 

family member or close friend could 

rise to the surface and demand to be 

addressed. Jealousy, possessiveness or 

power games could also be cause for 

concern. Resist the urge to be a sidestepping 

Crab! Do your best to keep 

things in perspective, as you deal with 

any drama in a straightforward and honest 

way. 

Watch out for domestic dramas this 

week, as the Full Supermoon shines a 

harsh spotlight on a brewing and stewing 

family situation. Being housebound, 

quarantine rules, lockdowns laws or 

social distancing guidelines could contribute 

to you feeling restless and rather 

reckless! Clever Cats will cool down, 

calm down and observe keenly from 

the sidelines. Friday night’s Sun/Uranus 

conjunction could spark a brilliant creative 

idea that shakes up your career or 

helps you find a new job. 

This week you’re in a curious state of 

mind, as Mercury and the Full Supermoon 

generate a promising opportunity 

involving international connections, 

publishing, education or social media. 

So get your ideas out there on the world 

wide web, as you inform and entertain 

others with your mercurial thoughts. 

Your motto for the moment is from 

writer (and fellow Virgo) Samuel Johnson: 

“Curiosity is one of the permanent 

and certain characteristics of a vigorous 

mind”.

The buzz word this week is transformation. 

Librans have a talent for creating 

beauty … in the way you speak, sing, 

write, dance, dress, draw, decorate, cook 

or just generally create. So that’s what 

you must do. In a world full of sickness, 

uncertainty and financial problems, you 

can divert people’s attention to a more 

beautiful and magical place. Be inspired 

by birthday great, comedian Jerry Seinfeld: 

“When someone does a small task 

beautifully, their whole environment is 

affected by it”. 

Metamorphosis is the name of the 

game, as the Full Supermoon in Scorpio 

pushes you to rise Phoenix-like from 

the ashes of a difficult situation. A challenging 

relationship has the potential 

to be reborn into a much more positive 

partnership. But you must be prepared 

to release old grudges; let go of the past; 

forgive and forget. So your motto is from 

birthday great, writer Harper Lee: “You 

can’t really get to know a person until 

you get in their shoes and walk around 

in them”. 

Innovative ideas and lightning flashes 

of inspiration make for a thought-provoking 

week. But there’s a tendency to 

be a real know-it-all (especially at work) 

and you’re likely to blurt out the most inappropriate 

comment to the most inappropriate 

person. So take your foot out 

of your mouth and think things through 

(carefully) before you speak! Heed the 

wise words of birthday great, writer 

Harper Lee: “Folks don’t like to have 

somebody around knowing more than 

they do”. 

Can you keep your control-freak tendencies 

under control this week? If you 

can, then you’ll astound and amaze others 

with your can-do Capricorn attitude, 

your natural personal authority, your 

networking skills and talent for leadership. 

You’re ready, willing and able to 

work hard and help others. Just make 

sure you are generous and inclusive 

as you encourage family, friends, colleagues 

and community members to 

pull together during the ongoing COVID 

challenge.

MOVIES, TELEVISION, MUSIC AND MORE – PARRAMATTA’S LEADING ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE 


STILL MAKING 

MEMORABLE MUSIC 

ERIN CHRISTIE 

After many years in the industry, 

Kevin Mitchell – more 

commonly known these days 

as Bob Evans – is still finding 

ways to challenge himself and 

create great music. 

His much-anticipated new album, ‘Tomorrowland’, 

has been out for just one 

week, but already he is keeping himself 

preoccupied with thoughts of what might 

come next. 

The 43-year-old rose to fame with Jebediah, 

the popular ‘90s act made up of himself, 

Chris Daymond, Vanessa Thornton, 

and Kevin’s brother Brett, whom he had 

been ‘performing’ with for many years already. 

“My older brother, Brett – he had a cassette 

tape of the band Kiss, and me and my 

brothers all had masks, Kiss masks,” Kevin 

said in a chat with Parra News. 

“I had the drummer, Peter Criss … we 

used to listen to ‘Dynasty’ by Kiss and put 

on our masks and get these plastic tennis 

racquets and put on mini concerts in our 

bedrooms. 

“I always loved music and loved being 

around it.” 

After begging his mother to enrol him in 

dance classes at age seven, Kevin began 

to play instruments and write songs at 

12. Now, with almost three decades in the 

industry, he believes he has matured as a 

musician. 

“I used to believe in the idea that inspiration 

is a lightning strike, you just had to 

wait for it to happen,” he said. 

“I’ve been doing this for 26 years now 

since Jebediah started … along the way I 

started to change my belief that if you wait 

for inspiration to happen, you’re not putting 

yourself in the best position for it.” 

A testament to this, Kevin demonstrates 

an ongoing love of creating music that has 

kept him working across both his solo act 

and Jebediah, who are touring this year. 

“I think there’s a nostalgia factor for people 

coming to watch Jebediah,” he said. 

“For us, it’s not so much a nostalgia thing, 

but it is a little bit like time-travel. 

“When we walk on stage it’s kind of like 

getting into a time machine, and for the 45 

minutes that we’re on stage, it’s kind of like 

we all turn into teenagers again. 

“I think that’s what the crowd is experiencing 

as well.” 

Although his work as Bob Evans keeps 

him busy, he says that Jebediah has also 

been working on an album over the last 

few years. 

“I like to think that we’ve still got another 

record left in us to make,” he said. 

Bob Evans’ brand new album ‘Tomorrowland’ 

is available now to buy or 

stream.

Plenty of lessons to take from historical epic 

THE COURIER 

 

1 hour, 51 minutes 

ERIN CHRISTIE 

Based on the gut-wrenching true 

story of a Soviet agent and the kindhearted 

man recruited to help him, 

‘The Courier’ is a gripping watch for 

any modern history buff. 

However, going in with no prior 

knowledge of the Cuban Missile Crisis 

makes this film as educational as it 

is exciting. 

Greville Wynne, a talented salesman, 

was recruited by MI6 given his 

frequent trips to Eastern Europe, to 

act as a courier passing state secrets 

from Soviet spy Oleg Penkovsky onto 

the British and American authorities. 

The information passed on by Penkovsky 

was essential to the UK’s discovery 

of Soviet emplacement of missiles 

in Cuba during one of the most hostile 

crises of the last 100 years. 

Wynne is played by Benedict Cumberbatch 

in a rare role where the audience 

can easily forget the presence of 

such a renowned actor; he slips into 

the character effortlessly. He is supported 

by a believable crew of actors, 

including Rachel Brosnahan, a seasoned 

comedy actress, who manages 

to hit her stride as Emily Donovan, a 

dedicated CIA agent torn between her 

dedication to her work and saving the 

lives of Wynne and Penkovsky. 

There are many lessons to take from 

this film, but also how as individuals, 

we can help change the world.

The new season of ‘Big Brother’ 

premiered last night on Channel Seven 

and continues tonight. Like last year, this 

season has been filmed in advance, except 

for a live finale in which viewers can 

choose the winner. Sonia Kruger returns 

as host. 

A second season of ‘The Hills: New 

Beginnings’, a sequel to the famed docuseries 

‘The Hills’, will premiere at 8.30pm 

on Thursday, May 13 on MTV. After a year 

of lockdowns and lost time, the cast of 

Hollywood’s most iconic friend group 

is reuniting. This season finds them at 

a crossroads and their lives tested like 

never before. Audrina Patridge, Ashley 

Wahler, Brandon Thomas Lee, Brody Jenner, 

Frankie Delgado, Heidi Pratt, Jason 

Wahler, Jennifer Delgado, Justin “Bobby” 

Brescia, Kaitlynn Carter, Spencer Pratt 

and Whitney Port return alongside newcomer 

Caroline D’Amore. Kristin Cavallari 

will also appear. 

Streaming from Friday, July 30, 

‘Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson’, a 

new six-part docuseries coming to Apple 

TV+ will examine sound creation and the

revolutionary technology that has shaped 

music as we know it. The series will 

feature Paul McCartney, Questlove, King 

Princess, Dave Grohl, Adrock and Mike 

D from the Beastie Boys, Charli XCX and 

more. Each episode of ‘Watch the Sound 

with Mark Ronson’ will follow Ronson 

as he uncovers the untold stories behind 

music creation and the lengths producers 

and creators are willing to go to find the 

perfect sound. 

UK drama ‘Call the Midwife’ has been 

renewed for two more seasons, taking 

it to Series 12 and 13, the latter in 2024. 

Season 10 is currently airing on Monday 

nights on BBC First. 

Just as production is getting underway 

on the second season, Netflix has 

renewed hit romance ‘Bridgerton’ for 

a third and fourth. ‘Bridgerton’ was a 

runaway hit last year, so Netflix must be 

very confident in the show to make this 

decision. 

New Zack Snyder movie ‘Army of the 

Dead’ will drop on Netflix on Friday, May 

21. Following a zombie outbreak in Las 

Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the 

ultimate gamble, venturing in the quarantine 

zone to pull off the greatest heist ever 

attempted. The film stars former wrestler 

turned action hero David Bautista. 

Smash hit cop drama ‘Blue Bloods’ 

has been renewed for a 12th season. The 

show airs inconsistently on Channel 10 

in Australia but has been a Friday night 

staple in the US for more than a decade. 

It is currently mid-way through airing its 

11th season.

AUTO 

GWM makes its mark 

The game-changing Haval H6 arrives in showrooms across Australia 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

The all-new Haval H6 is now 

on sale with first deliveries 

and demonstrator models 

now in all 54 GWM Australian 

showrooms. 

Demand for the company’s highly 

anticipated new mid-sized SUV 

is expected to be strong with a 

number of dealers having already 

taken deposits from customers 

eager to be amongst the first to own 

a new H6. 

The all-new Haval H6 range kicks 

off from $30,990 Driveaway for the 

feature-packed H6 Premium 2WD 

with 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol 

engine good for 150kW and 320Nm 

and mated to a 7-speed Dual Clutch 

Transmission. 

Next is the mid-spec H6 Lux 2WD 

at $33,990 Driveaway with the 

range-topping H6 Ultra at $36,990 

Driveaway for 2WD and $38,990 

Driveaway for 4WD. 

All new Haval H6’s are backed 

by a seven-year unlimited km 

warranty and five years roadside 

assist. A Capped Price Servicing 

program will also be available on 

H6 to ensure that the significant 

value being offered at purchase is 

continued throughout the ownership 

period. 

As a replacement for the previous 

generation H6, the all-new H6 is 

more advanced in almost every 

way and loaded with levels of technology 

and standard active safety 

features that are usually only found 

in SUVs at higher price brackets. 

Initial customer demand indicates 

that the mid and high grades 

will be the volume sellers, mirroring 

what has been seen with the 

GWM Ute since launch. 

The all-new Haval H6 is the first of 

a new generation of SUV products 

that will further define GWM in 

Australia and which are expected 

to confirm the brand as a serious 

player in the country’s highly 

competitive new car market. 

Full specifications for the all-new 

Haval H6 can be found at www. 

gwmhaval.com.au. 

The all-new Haval H6 is available now.

Dragway ready for racing 

Major refurbishment of Sydney Dragway complete; Nitro Thunder on next month 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

Racers at Sydney Dragway are 

set for their best performances, 

with the resurfacing works 

officially opened last Wednesday. 

Minister for Sport Geoff Lee said the 

new international standard surface 

forms part of the NSW Government’s 

$33 million upgrade of facilities at 

Sydney Motorsport Park. 

“The NSW Government is committed 

to providing high quality and 

safe motorsport facilities and the 

resurfacing of the Sydney Dragway 

will be heavily used by the drag racing 

community,” he said 

“This upgrade replaces the previous 

15-year-old surface, providing a worldclass 

surface for races of all levels.” 

Key features of the surface upgrades 

include a new, continuously reinforced 

concrete surface, as well as significant 

upgrades to the grandstand, corporate 

facilities, lighting and power, amenities 

and general building maintenance. 

“These upgrades will provide an 

outstanding event experience for petrol 

heads and motor racing lovers,” Mr Lee 

said. 

Sydney Dragway General Manager, 

Darryl Stephen, said he’s looking 

forward to their first major event at the 

Eastern Creek facility since the refurbishments. 

“We’ve already seen some world 

record setting performances on the 

new surface in testing, and we are looking 

forward to opening our doors for 

our fans to enjoy the facilities here at 

Sydney Dragway for the Gulf Western 

Oil Nitro Thunder on May 6 and 7,” he 

said. 

“I would like to thank the NSW 

Government, Western Sydney Parklands 

Trust, NSW Office of Sport and 

the Drag Racing community for their 

support throughout the project and 

venue upgrades.” 

The new surface will be used for an 

exciting calendar of events in 2021.
