LORD 

MAYOR’S 

MESSAGE 

CR BOB 

DWYER 

Help a Neighbour 

This year, because of 

the pandemic, we were 

unable to hold an event, but 

instead observed the day from 

the safety of our homes. 

To commemorate Indian Independence Day, 

the City of Parramatta is showcasing a range 

of historical articles and stories for the 

community to explore.

Western Sydney Awards for 

Business Excellence 

On Friday 6 August, I had the pleasure of 

attending an online event where the finalists 

for the annual Western Sydney Awards for 

Business Excellence were announced. 

These awards are a great way to recognise 

and acknowledge the tremendous work done 

by our local professionals, business leaders 

and organisations. 

More than 120 finalists have been shortlisted 

across 18 award categories, which recognise 

achievements in fields such as business, export, 

sustainability, innovation, manufacturing, 

culture, as well as many others. 

The winners will be announced on Friday 

26 November. 

Check in on your neighbours in a COVID-safe way with 

Council’s Help a Neighbour calling cards. 

With the current strict lockdown restrictions in 

place, many people in our community have 

become isolated from their support systems 

and we are doing what we can to help. Last 

week we launched our Help a Neighbour 

initiative, so people will be able to check in on 

their neighbours in a COVID-safe way. 

We know that people want to help, so we’re 

inviting residents across the City of Parramatta 

to leave a Help a Neighbour calling card in 

the letterboxes of their neighbours and offer 

a helping hand – whether it’s picking up 

groceries and medical supplies or simply 

having a friendly phone conversation. 

The calling cards can be downloaded from 

Council’s website and printed out, or copied 

by hand, and left in a mailbox or under a 

door. The initiative follows Council’s recent 

announcement of a $2.9 million support 

package to assist local households and 

businesses impacted by the current COVID-19 

lockdown. 

National Science Week 

In celebration of National Science Week, 

which runs until 24 August, City of Parramatta 

Council is offering a broad range of online 

events and activities for science enthusiasts 

of all ages. 

Over the weekend, in partnership with the 

Powerhouse Museum for Sydney Science 

Festival 2021, Council presented online talks 

by Australia’s favourite science guru Dr Karl 

Kruszelnicki AM and Deadly Science founder 

Corey Tutt. I even had the opportunity to ask 

Dr Karl a question about Parramatta’s eels 

(the animals, not the Rugby League team) 

during his talk. 

If you missed out, don’t worry, there’s still 

some terrific stuff online, including a live 

science-themed Story Time session with the 

City of Parramatta Libraries on 19 August and 

a science quiz hosted by the Parramatta 

Heritage and Visitor Information Centre on 

22 August. 

Indian Independence Day 

Indian Independence Day is celebrated on 

15 August every year. This year marks the 

commencement of the 75th anniversary of the 

separation of India from the United Kingdom, 

when the 1947 Indian Independence Act came 

into effect. 

The Indian community is an integral part 

of the City of Parramatta, which boasts 

the largest population of people of Indian 

descent in Australia. Flag raising events form 

an important symbolic component of Indian 

Independence Day as India’s first Prime 

Minister Jawaharlal Nehru raised the Indian 

flag above the Lahori Gate to coincide with 

passage of the Act.

Please don’t leave home 

Premier’s desperate plea as COVID-19 cases continue to skyrocket 

NICOLA BARTON 

Merrylands, Guildford, and 

Auburn have been labelled 

as areas of “most concern” by 

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, as the 

state’s number of COVID cases continues 

to reach record highs. 

Ms Berejiklian sent a stern message to 

residents – get vaccinated and don’t leave 

your home “unless you absolutely have to”. 

“Please know that if you are in these 

areas you must not only take extra precautions 

but make sure you come forward for 

testing and stay home,” she said. 

“These suburbs are of most concern in 

the entire state.” 

A state-wide lockdown was announced 

over the weekend, aimed at minimising 

movement to protect regional communities 

from the escalating Greater Sydney 

outbreak. 

With vaccination seemingly the only 

way out, Cumberland City Mayor Steve 

Christou is urging residents to put their 

arms out in August. 

“I want to see our Local Government 

Area have the highest vaccination rate in 

A concerned NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian at a recent press conference. 

the state. I want us to be the first area in 

NSW so we can regain our freedoms,” he 

said. 

“We’re still waiting for the State Government 

to accept our offer of vaccination 

clinics in our facilities to speed the roll-out 

of the vaccine.” 

Cr Christou criticised the bungled 

vaccine roll-out and outbreak response, 

stating he feels there’s “no end in sight”. 

“The response of the government and 

enforcement of these draconian lockdowns 

has been completely ineffective, 

slow, and callous,” he said. 

“Families have been destroyed financially. 

The mental health of our residents 

is now a real concern.” 

The Federal Government announced 

Australia will receive one million doses 

of Pfizer, 530,000 of which are set to be 

prioritised for young people (20-39-yearolds) 

in the hardest hit regions of Greater 

Sydney. 

Walk-in vaccination clinics offering 

AstraZeneca locally include the Holroyd 

Centre (Waratah Room), Merrylands; the 

Greystanes Community Centre, Merrylands; 

Ted Burge Hall, Merrylands; Allan 

G Ezzy Community Centre, Pemulwuy; 

and the Guildford Community Centre, 

Guildford. 

The community is reminded that 

under the current restrictions, residents 

in both Cumberland and Parramatta 

Local Government Areas must not leave 

their suburb, including for work, unless 

declared essential by the State Government’s 

health orders. Increased fines are 

now in play 

parra news » Tuesday, August 17, 2021 

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BUSINESS 

Only essential businesses

> Ensuring unwell staff are not at work, get tested immediately 

and stay home until they return a negative test result 

> Wearing a face mask when working indoors 

and outdoors 

> 1.5m physical distancing where possible 

> Good hand hygiene and regular surface cleaning 

Financial grants to help those impacted by the current COVID-19 restrictions are available to eligible businesses.

Editor’s Note

Troy Dodds 

@troydodds 

Hazzard must face the music 

Health Minister Brad Hazzard seems 

constantly shocked, even offended, when 

journalists question the NSW Government’s 

response to the COVID-19 pandemic 

and the ongoing lockdown. 

He has been one of the worst government 

performers during this crisis. 

Nothing is his fault. 

His bizarre, long-winded answers to 

questions are embarrassing. 

While a shake-up isn’t on the cards during 

the lockdown, I can’t see how Hazzard 

stays on as Health Minister. 

Gladys Berejiklian must surely act once 

the worst of the lockdown is over.

Spring has come early to Parramatta. 

After weeks of being huddled inside, it’s 

becoming pleasant to venture onto the 

balcony again and soak up some sun. Our 

local parks at day’s end are filled with a 

steady stream of amblers. There is a hint 

of fragrance in the air, reminding us of a 

world to explore and a life to be lived. 

Then I turn on the television to find 

the Delta outbreak in NSW has spiked to 

nearly 400 cases, up from 300 last week. 

Now I really don’t want to be a killjoy. 

Or rail about the pandemic all the way 

until Christmas. 

Yet I believe, and feel the weight of 

health opinion agrees, that each day, 

each 11am press conference, is a missed 

opportunity to do more. 

We could have locked down earlier and 

harder – and we still could. Get everyone 

to comply and get it over with. Easier said 

than done, but there is ample evidence 

of what has worked around Australia, so 

why wouldn’t we at least try? 

A tighter definition of essential retail. 

Curfews and a ring of steel around Sydney 

to protect the regions and our remote 

indigenous population. Reinstating 

JobKeeper – and offering $450 cash payments 

to those forced to test and isolate 

just like Victoria did.

By skimping on these measures, the 

government has given the impression its 

lockdown is not completely serious. 

A stronger lockdown, supported by 

stronger financial help to drive compliance, 

is surely key to stemming case 

numbers in Western Sydney – including 

suburbs like Merrylands, Granville, 

Guildford, Wentworthville, Pendle Hill, 

Toongabbie and Girraween. 

The availability of support needs to be 

communicated in multiple languages. 

It must be generous enough to dissuade 

people from working when they have 

symptoms. 

But can we really expect much when 

most small businesses in NSW are still yet 

to receive COVID hardship and JobSaver 

payments, promised weeks ago? 

To appreciate how shambolic our state’s 

handling of Delta has been, consider how 

we reportedly rejected army personnel 

from the Commonwealth back in July, 

only to accept 300 troops and then 500 

more. 

Or the fact that the NSW Police Commissioner 

is only now moving to fix poorly 

drafted public health orders. 

With the exception of journalists like 

Andrew Clennell of Sky News who aren’t 

afraid to ask the tough questions, isn’t it

incumbent on everyone to do more to 

hold the government to account – from 

the media to all opposition parties? That’s 

not about politicking, but averting a catastrophe. 

It’s harnessing our system to 

force better outcomes. 

In the meantime, let’s get vaccinated. 

I’m 41 and eligible for Pfizer. Last week, 

I spent hours online and couldn’t make a 

booking until mid-October. 

I’m now considering AstraZeneca and 

waiting to hear more about Moderna. 

Perhaps that experience resonates with 

others who’ve encountered booking frustrations 

or adopted an approach that’s 

more wait-and-see. 

We now have three vaccines approved 

by the Australian Technical Advisory 

Group on Immunisation (ATAGI). Any 

should be considered effective, in conjunction 

with advice from a GP. Yet even 

here, the government could open more 

state-run walk-in vaccination hubs to 

take the pressure off GP clinics. 

There are huge crowds at the vaccination 

hub in Olympic Park each day. Our 

region has some of the city’s lowest COV- 

ID vaccination rates. 

Please Premier: it’s high time mass vaccination 

hubs were opened in Parramatta, 

Cumberland and the Hills.

Defying lockdown blues 

New cafe brings a smile to Ermington residents during ongoing pandemic 

NICOLA BARTON 

Opening a new business can be 

challenging at the best of times, 

let alone during lockdown. 

But for the ambitious Ermington resident, 

Su Mi Shin, this would not stand in 

the way of realising her dream to open a 

new trendy cafe in her suburb. 

Cafe4TY7 is the latest, Instagram-worthy 

breakfast and brunch spot, bringing 

smiles to the people of Ermington during 

this difficult time. 

Even though the circumstances are far 

from ideal, Ms Shin said the support and 

positivity from the community so far has 

been heartening to see. 

“Living in Ermington I was always looking 

for a brunch cafe and would always 

go to Rydalmere or West Ryde instead, so 

I thought why don’t I open my own?” she 

said. 

“When I bought the property everyone 

told me I was crazy and I got a bit scared 

but I just supported my decision and went 

ahead with the renovations.” 

After six months of refurbishments, Ms 

Shin said it was really difficult to see the 

COVID-19 situation escalating around her 

but was determined to open as planned. 

“Once they were done, we were in lockdown 

but I couldn’t wait,” she said. 

“I wanted to open for the workers I had 

already interviewed and I wanted to open 

for the community.” 

Situated at 47 Boronia Street, Ermington 

Cafe4TY7 offers a mouthwatering range 

of breakfast and brunch options as well as 

delicious coffee made from Pablo & Rusty 

roasted beans. 

The gorgeous cottage-like cafe will be the 

perfect meet spot once lockdown is lifted, 

but for now is only offering takeaway. 

“We are so excited to welcome our 

customers in-house once this lockdown is 

over but for now we are just open for takeaway,” 

she said. 

“We are so grateful for all the kind people 

that have popped in so far, Ermington 

really has the loveliest people. 

“We deserve a nice cafe spot for everyone 

and I just hope everyone loves it.” 

As Greater Sydney grapples with the 

economic challenges of the COVID-19 

pandemic and harsh lockdowns, now 

more than ever is a great time to shop 

small and support local businesses! 

Cafe 4TY7 owner Su Mi Shin is hoping people support her new venture.

CITY COUNCIL

A Message from Mayor Steve Christou 

For more information visit, www.cumberland.nsw.gov.au/arms-out-august 

Arms out in August 

We’ve launched a campaign this month called 

‘Arms out in August’ with the vision to be the first 

council area with 80% of our population vaccinated. 

I’m calling on the State Government to take us up 

on our offer to utilise our community centres. Just 

give us the nurses and the jabs, and everyone in 

our local government area the chance to make an 

appointment as soon as possible to get vaccinated 

so we can start rebuilding our community. 

Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the state is in “a 

race” to reach 6 million COVID vaccinations by the 

end of August, so we’re very keen to contribute to 

this to see some easing of restrictions at the end 

of lockdown this month. We are tracking well as a 

state to hit our 6 million target. We are now in the 

40 per cent range in terms of people who have 

Get vaccinated 

Let’s get to 80% together. 

had at least one dose. It’s a target my council and 

community want to keep on track. The premier has 

called it a race and we’re determined to sprint. 

Having 80% of our community vaccinated is the 

fastest and safest way out of this pandemic. I’m 

really excited about this initiative. Let’s roll up our 

sleeves and be that council from western Sydney 

who smashed their vaccination targets. We’ve 

created a dedicated page on our website about 

how to book a vaccination, where you can get it 

and when you’re eligible. We’ve also answered 

some FAQs and have recorded vaccination 

messaging in our city’s top languages.

We appreciate the thoughtfulness and generosity 

behind this gesture, especially coming from a 

council that isn’t necessarily our neighbour. That’s 

what happens when councils are not only in touch 

with their residents, but looking out and lending 

a helping hand to other communities too. We 

appreciate the help and look forward to working 

together closely on this initiative. 

A great cause to get 

behind 

On the topic of giving, we’re launching a 

charity register on our website where locals 

can list any materials or supplies they’re 

in need of and businesses and charity 

organisations can display what they’re able 

to provide and help with. At the moment it’s 

just for essential goods and food only but it’s 

a great way to activate the community spirit 

and connectedness we’re all after during 

lockdown. 

From being one of the most vulnerable 

societies across the state to taking a hit with 

some of the most toughest restrictions on our 

work and families, I encourage everyone to 

get involved in our charity register to help lift 

our city. After all, it is our sense of community 

and compassion towards others which will 

keep us safe and help us out of the pandemic.

New normal for 

HSC students 

NICOLA BARTON 

A 

flexible operating model for 

schools across Greater Sydney 

came into effect yesterday, 

excluding areas of concern including 

Parramatta and Cumberland. 

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian had 

originally planned for all Year 12 students 

to return to face-to-face learning this 

week, with an ambitious vision for mass 

vaccination and rapid antigen testing. 

But as cases continued to grow and with 

less than half of eligible Year 12 students 

booking in for the jab, that plan soon 

fizzled. 

Secondary schools outside of the areas 

of concern will now operate under an 

updated COVID safety plan, to provide 

opportunities for essential curriculum 

delivery, wellbeing support and check-ins 

for HSC students. 

HSC students from the LGAs of concern 

will remain learning from home, even 

if schools they attend are outside those 

LGAs. 

All school assessments and trial exams 

will be completed at home across all 

Greater Sydney schools. 

After facing similar disruptions in Year 

11, the graduating class of 2021 are again 

confronting the challenges of lockdown, 

now with even more pressure as exam 

season approaches. 

Delany Catholic College Granville delivered 

special gift packs to its Year 12 cohort 

recently and held a virtual morning tea to 

help brighten the day of students undergoing 

exam-prep stress. 

School Captains Naomi Habib and Brandon 

Zaiter agreed that staying connected 

with their teachers and peers was paramount 

for their mental health. 

“Learning from home is hard to manage 

and it has been quite difficult to stay motivated 

but our school has been amazing at 

providing extra support,” Naomi said. 

“It was great to get on the Zoom, get away 

from school work and share how we are 

going and our plans for next year,” Brandon 

added. 

Principal Paul Easton said the school 

was doing everything it could to ensure 

staff, students and parents felt supported. 

“We are doing check-ins, buddy 

programs, online afternoon tea sessions 

and just communicating as much information 

as we can to keep as much clarity 

around this time as we can,” he said.

Dundas: Man allegedly assaults 

COVID-19 testing site employee 

A man has been charged after an essential 

healthcare worker was allegedly 

assaulted while working at a COVID-19 

testing site in Dundas. 

About 4pm on Monday, August 9, a 

female staff member was performing 

duties at a COVID-19 testing site at Kissing 

Point Road, Dundas, when she was 

approached by an unknown man who 

was not wearing a mask. 

Police have been told the man began 

filming the 31-year-old worker on his 

mobile phone, before verbally abusing 

her about vaccinations. 

The man then allegedly dislodged the 

woman’s mask and punched her to the 

head. Several people awaiting testing 

exited their cars and assisted the woman. 

The man fled the scene on foot and 

officers from the Cumberland Police Area 

Command attended and commenced an 

investigation. 

The woman was treated at the scene 

and did not require hospitalisation. 

Following inquiries, investigators from 

Cumberland arrested a 50-year-old man 

at a home on Shortland Street, Telopea, 

just after 10.30am on Wednesday, August 

11. 

He was taken to Granville Police 

Station, where he was charged with 

‘common assault’, two counts of ‘possess 

prohibited drug’ and ‘breach of the 

public health orders’. 

Guildford: Man killed in suspected 

gang related shooting 

A man was killed in a gang related 

shooting in Guildford recently, with 

police still hunting for the gunman 

responsible.

Boundary Road, Chester Hill, following 

reports shots had been fired. 

Upon arrival, officers attached to 

Cumberland Police Area Command 

located an injured 25-year-old man. 

He was treated by NSW Ambulance 

paramedics at the scene, before being 

taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable 

condition. 

A short time later, emergency services 

attended Rhodes Avenue, Guildford, 

following reports a man had been shot. 

A man was located with a gunshot 

wound and treated by paramedics, 

however he died at the scene. 

Crime scenes were established and 

examined by specialist forensic police. 

Detectives from the State Crime 

Command’s Homicide Squad, assisted 

by Cumberland, have established 

Strike Force Shepherd to investigate the 

circumstances surrounding the incident. 

Police have confirmed it was a targeted 

attack and believe it is linked to the 

Alameddine organised crime network. 

Baulkham Hills: Boy hurt after 

falling from window onto concrete 

An infant boy fell two and a half metres 

from a window onto concrete at a home 

in Baulkham Hills recently. 

The boy was knocked unconscious 

from the impact and sustained a serious 

head injury. 

NSW Ambulance paramedics provided 

initial treatment to the patient, and 

transported him to Gooden Reserve to 

meet CareFlight’s clinical team. 

CareFlight’s specialist doctor and NSW 

Ambulance critical care paramedic 

performed a clinical assessment on the 

patient, before CareFlight’s specialist 

doctor placed him into an induced coma. 

The boy was conveyed to Westmead 

Hospital in a critical condition. 

Local Hero of the month 

Keith Steele 

Born at Willow Grove, Parramatta, 

in 1944, Keith Steele went on to marry 

his now wife Kathy before moving to 

Toongabbie where he has lived for over 

40 years. 

Mr Steele is known for his love of the 

environment and planting trees and has 

worked tirelessly to make Old Toongabbie’s 

Sue Savage Reserve a better place 

for everyone. 

Mr Steele has planted seeds that stand 

as huge trees today and is very proud of 

his babies; something he has been doing 

ever since he has lived in the suburb. 

During the drought he would water the 

seedlings daily, pulling around 100 litres 

of water in small buckets in his wheelbarrow 

every day to save the seedlings. 

Looking at the grown up trees now, he 

says it was all worth it. 

Over the years he has raised a number 

of issues to the Council, to help improve 

surroundings for the wider community, 

one of them being the clean-up of Toongabbie 

Creek. 

Thank you, Mr Steele, for your care 

for the environment, for supporting the 

community and making it a better place 

all-round. 

Local Hero of the month is selected by 

City of Parramatta Councillor Sameer 

Pandey. 

Cr Pandey chooses individuals who are 

passionate, selfless and make exceptional 

contributions to the community.

COVID information not 

up to standard 

ADVERTISEMENT 

Julie Owens Bulletin 

Last week the ABC reported that official COVID 

health information for multicultural communities 

was almost two months out of date. 

On 12 August, translations published on the Federal 

Government’s Department of Health website still stated 

that AstraZeneca was the preferred vaccine for Australians 

over 50 – medical advice that changed back in June. 

The Arabic translation didn’t mention the crucial advice 

that all adults in Greater Sydney should get the vaccine, 

whether AstraZeneca or Pfizer. 

This isn’t the first time multicultural communities have 

been given confusing or misleading information about 

coronavirus. Last year the Department of Health was 

caught using Google Translate for critical public health 

information, with “nonsensical” results. 

The Department of Health updated the translated 

information within hours of the ABC story being 

published, which begs the question – why didn’t they 

just update the translations every time the health advice 

changed? 

Everyone deserves to be safe, and to be provided with 

timely, accessible and accurate public health information. 

When the government fails to get this information out in 

other languages our culturally and linguistically diverse 

communities get left behind. 

The consequences for multicultural places like Western 

Sydney are obvious. We’re home to most of the ‘local 

government areas of concern’ and case numbers are still 

rising. 

Most Western Sydney residents weren’t old enough to be 

eligible to get vaccinated until lockdown started and the 

rules changed. Now many of us are relying on outdated 

information to make decisions about whether or not to 

get vaccinated. Unsurprisingly, Western Sydney has some 

of the lowest vaccination rates in NSW and most of us are 

still completely unvaccinated. 

The Morrison Government’s repeated failure to 

communicate coronavirus information to culturally and 

linguistically diverse communities is part of a pattern. 

In the 7th week of lockdown, my office is still taking

CALD communities have been calling for better coronavirus 

information since the start of the pandemic (photo taken prelockdown) 

calls from people trying to work out if they can claim 

support payments because there have been so many 

changes. And the Prime Minister’s failure to communicate 

clear information about vaccines has left many in the 

community confused and contributed to a concerning rise 

in vaccine hesitancy. 

Put simply, the coronavirus information we’re receiving 

from this government is not up to standard. 

Labor has been calling on the Morrison Government to 

engage community leaders and improve coronavirus 

information for CALD communities since the beginning of 

the pandemic. 

More than a year later our CALD communities are still 

being left behind.

Supporting local jobs 

Federal Government boosts employment program across the country 

NICOLA BARTON 

The Federal Government has 

appointed a new Employment 

Facilitator to help connect employers 

and job seekers with employment 

and training opportunities in western 

Sydney. 

The appointment is one of 51 across the 

country as part of the Federal Government’s 

$276 million Local Jobs Program 

and comes as lockdowns cause significant 

job insecurity in affected regions including 

Parramatta and Cumberland. 

The Local Jobs Program aims to increase 

the capacity of the workforces through 

supporting training and upskilling opportunities. 

Jamie Petschy has been appointed 

for western Sydney and will provide an 

on-the-ground presence locally, working 

with local businesses, training providers 

and job seekers to identify labour market 

challenges in the region. 

Mr Petschy is a western Sydney local and 

brings extensive experience in skilling 

and employment initiatives to the role. 

Minister for Employment, Workforce, 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Senator for Western Sydney, Marise Payne. 

Skills, Small and Family Business, Stuart 

Robert, said the appointment is a key part 

of the Federal Government’s Economic 

Plan and works alongside financial 

support available to businesses across 

western Sydney. 

“Western Sydney is facing a difficult time 

right now, it is the powerhouse of Australia’s 

national economy so this appointment 

is particularly important,” he said. 

“This appointment will put federal 

resources into western Sydney and will 

ensure as the community comes through 

this difficult period there are dedicated 

resources to help coordinate local job 

creation efforts and help with a skills-led 

economic recovery as we fight COVID-19.” 

Assistant Minister for Youth and 

Employment Services, Luke Howarth said 

the appointment would help local young 

job seekers who have faced disruption 

over recent months. 

“While it is vital we support businesses 

and individuals today during this difficult 

period, it is also important we help 

connect, train and skill tomorrow’s workers,” 

he said. 

Liberal Senator for Western Sydney, 

Senator Marise Payne, said the government 

is focused on supporting western 

Sydney as it fights COVID-19. 

“The high level of investment that is 

occurring in our region from government 

and industry, centred around precincts in 

Westmead, Parramatta, Badgerys Creek 

and Penrith, will generate job opportunities 

for decades to come,” she said. 

“As we fight through this difficult period 

it is important we get more locals to take 

up training and jobs in construction, 

advanced manufacturing, scientific and 

technical services, including in aged and 

disability care.”

NEW PODCAST TACKLES SCAMS, THEFT AND MORE 

A new crime prevention podcast has 

been launched, aimed at protecting the 

community from scams and theft. 

The five-part podcast, ‘Living Safely’ is a 

community education program delivered 

by Cumberland City Council in partnership 

with NSW Police. 

Protecting yourself from scams, securing 

your home and vehicle and reporting 

a crime are just a few of the topics which 

will be discussed and available in six 

languages. 

Mayor Steve Christou said the content 

was initially delivered as face-to-face 

workshops pre-pandemic, but has evolved 

into audio so it was more widely accessible. 

“We want to raise awareness of crime 

and safety issues and provide simple and 

practical tips on how to minimise the risk 

of becoming a victim of crime,” he said. 

“A bit of knowledge and a few small 

changes can make a big difference. 

“Our residents need to know they can 

trust governments and police and that 

help is available if they need it.” 

Listen to the podcast on Google, Apple, 

Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

across western Sydney who write their 

own book of poetry, which is later

RELIEF FOR 

HSC STUDENTS 

The graduating class of 2021 has 

experienced disruptions like no other; 

facing the challenges of COVID-19 

lockdowns in both their Year 11 and 12 

studies. 

With exam season approaching, the 

pressure is on for Year 12 students in 

Parramatta and Cumberland who are 

preparing at home. 

To take some of this anxiety away, 

Western Sydney University (WSU) 

announced it will again offer its HSC 

True Reward early offer program to 

ensure those whose studies have been 

disrupted still have a fair shot at achieving 

their higher education goals. 

The True Reward program provides 

students with an option to either use 

their HSC results or their Year 11 results 

as part of their university application 

for an early offer to WSU. 

WSU Vice-Chancellor and President 

Professor Barney Glover said the HSC 

True Reward program is providing 

school leavers and their families with 

much-needed peace of mind, during 

what is another challenging year for 

school students. 

“With the evolving COVID-19 situation 

continuing to have an impact on 

schooling, particularly at the moment 

in Greater Sydney, we want to be able 

to relieve students of some of their 

concerns or anxieties about disrupted 

exam preparations and what this 

means for gaining entry into their 

preferred university course for next 

year,” he said.

Don’t forget to 

clean your teeth! 

NICOLA BARTON 

Many of us may find we let 

ourselves go during lockdown, 

whether that be our hair growing 

out or overindulging in comfort foods. 

But shockingly, new data shows that 

many Australians are also skipping their 

morning teeth clean, with 50 per cent 

admitting to the unhygienic habit. 

The survey by HCF Dental revealed more 

than 2.7 million Australians admit to skipping 

brushing their teeth daily during lock 

down, and as many as 1.9 million people 

were only prompted to brush their teeth 

after putting on a mask and smelling their 

own breath. 

Whilst HCF Dental Parramatta are only 

open for urgent or emergency appointments 

during lockdown, they want to 

remind locals of how they can keep smiling 

during the pandemic. 

HCF Dentist Dr Chris Ho said it was more 

important than ever that people put extra 

thought into their oral health. 

“During lockdown a lot of our daily 

life has changed, but one thing you can 

control is your dental health,” he said. 

“While we’ve been forced to slow down, 

this is actually a great time to set up 

healthy habits.” 

Dr Ho’s top five tips for lockdown oral 

health are: 

Watch the snacks 

“Every time we eat or drink, the digestion 

process starts in the mouth, so if you 

constantly snack you don’t give your saliva 

time to work which could result in more 

acid in the mouth and more sensitivity 

and decay,” Dr Ho said. 

Don’t forget nutrition 

Dr Ho said food high in sugar can significantly 

damage tooth enamel. “The best 

drink for your teeth is water,” he said. 

De-stress 

“People who are more stressed may tend 

to clench their teeth and get jaw aches, so 

try some strategies to reduce stress for the 

sake of your smile as well as your mental 

health,” Dr Ho said. 

Find a new daily routine 

Dr Ho said people should be mindful 

of skipping healthy habits just because 

they’re no longer commuting to work or 

leaving the house. 

Make a plan to visit your dentist 

Dr Ho recommended people make a 

plan to visit their dentist when restrictions 

ease.

Stepping up for charity 

Can you do 10,000 steps a day? Challenge yourself to help raise vital funds 

NICOLA BARTON 

It’s that time of the year again to put 

on your walking shoes for a worthy 

cause, with registrations now open 

for STEPtember. 

The virtual challenge calls on individuals, 

teams and organisations to take 10,000 

steps per day for 30 days in an effort to 

raise funds that will improve the lives of 

people with cerebral palsy. 

There are over 40 different activities that 

can be converted to steps, helping participants 

walk, swim, ride, wheel or spin their 

way to their daily goal. 

Cerebral Palsy Alliance’s General 

Manager of Fundraising Lucy Jacka 

encouraged people of all ages and abilities 

to get a team together and take on the 

challenge. 

“STEPtember promotes individual 

health and wellness, whilst uniting 

participants in a common goal – to help 

people with cerebral palsy live their best 

lives,” she said. 

“As a virtual fundraising event, people 

from right across Australia can ‘step up’ to 

the challenge and reach their daily target 

STEPtember is back, raising money for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. 

at their own pace, in their own way.” 

STEPtember is a great way for people to 

stay connected, get motivated and move 

together for an important cause. 

Cerebral palsy is the most common 

physical disability in children, and in 

Australia accounts for one in every 700 

births. 

Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for a 

group of disorders caused by injury to the 

brain, most commonly during pregnancy. 

It is a permanent, lifelong condition with 

no known cure and can range from weakness 

in one hand, to an almost complete 

lack of voluntary movement. 

People with significant physical disabilities 

may require care 24 hours a day. 

Funds raised by the campaign go 

towards vital equipment, research, 

therapy and services for people living with 

cerebral palsy. 

Aside from raising money for a good 

cause, walking 10,000 steps a day is 

recommended by health professionals to 

promote a healthy lifestyle not just physically 

but also mentally. 

Particularly now with Greater Sydney 

riding out its lockdown, getting outdoors 

and walking either on your own or with 

a friend can be a great and much needed 

mood-booster during this time. 

This year the STEPtember team have set 

their sights on raising $11 million, their 

most ambitious fundraising target yet.

AQUARIUS 

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19 

Prepare for a Blue Moon … the second 

Full Moon in Aquarius in a month! 

Which will amp up your need for freedom, 

independence and avant-garde 

adventures. But don’t feel you have to 

tackle a current project or problem on 

your own. There are plenty of people 

around who are happy to help. All you 

have to do is sum up the courage to ask. 

But too much reckless haste could lead 

to an argument or accident, so slow 

down and pace yourself (especially on 

the weekend). 

HOROSCOPES 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY BOHO ASTRO - JOANNE MADELINE MOORE 

Daily posts at www.bohoastro.com | twitter @JoMadelineMoore | © Joanne Madeline Moore 2021 

PISCES 

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20 

It’s time to retreat, review and restore 

as the Full Blue Moon activates your 

contemplation and seclusion zone. Enjoy 

solo activities like meditation, yoga, 

spiritual pursuits, journal writing and 

long walks in nature. You’ll also be surrounded 

by innuendo and intrigue. 

What others say won’t necessarily be 

what they mean, so make sure you read 

between the lines to uncover what’s really 

going on. The weekend is wonderful 

for a relationship refresh or a social media 

surprise. 

ARIES 

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20 

This week peace-loving Venus encourages 

diplomacy in relationships, while 

Mars and Uranus boost energy, initiative, 

innovative ideas and dynamic leadership. 

Then the Full Blue Moon favours 

friendship, creativity and following your 

dreams. You’re feeling impatient but 

avoid rushing business and financial 

matters. With Mercury and Mars linking 

up in meticulous Virgo in your job zone, 

do your best to be mentally focused and 

unusually fastidious at work. You know 

you can do it! 

TAURUS 

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21 

The week starts with Venus (your power 

planet) shifting into your job zone, 

which bodes well for improved relations 

with a colleague, client and/or customer. 

Looking for employment? Don’t 

under-estimate the promising contacts 

you have within your professional peer 

group. An unexpected opportunity 

could also land in your lap via a friend 

or former lover, so start networking now. 

On the weekend a domestic project or 

work matter comes to a surprising conclusion. 

GEMINI 

MAY 22 TO JUNE 21 

CANCER 

JUNE 22 TO JULY 22 

LEO 

JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23 

VIRGO 

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23 

On Friday your ruler Mercury (planet 

of intelligence and communication) 

forms a positive aspect with wildly adventurous 

Uranus. It’s a wonderful week 

to exercise your brain cells via study, 

debate, teaching, reading, writing, public 

speaking and generally expanding 

your mind in all sorts of exciting new 

directions. Your motto for the moment 

is from witty Leo writer Dorothy Parker: 

“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There 

is no cure for curiosity.” 

If you’ve been burying your head in 

the sand, then a problem could come 

to a head and demand to be addressed. 

The planets encourage you to be direct 

about dealing with challenges, especially 

involving finances, intimacy and trust. 

Definitely no side-stepping allowed! Do 

your best to avoid being a snappy Crab 

on the weekend, when the unpredictable 

Full Moon magnifies mood swings 

and heightens your emotional sensitivity. 

Clear communication is the key. 

With the fiery Sun still charging 

through your sign, it’s time for largerthan-life 

Leos to let your hair down, express 

yourself and indulge your senses. 

Be inspired by movie star Mae West 

(born on August 17, 1892): “Too much of 

a good thing can be wonderful.” But this 

week there’s also a Sun-Jupiter opposition 

and a Full Blue Moon. So avoid the 

temptation to exaggerate, over-promise 

and under-deliver – especially involving 

personal relationships and business. 

You won’t solve problems if you’re procrastinating. 

Many Virgos will be full of 

vim and vigour this week as you analyse, 

strategise and mobilise! With proactive 

Mars and clever Mercury (your patron 

planet) linking up in your sign, it’s also 

a good time to redefine the persona you 

are presenting to the world. Be inspired 

by birthday great, fashion designer and 

business-woman Coco Chanel: “How 

many cares one loses when one decides 

not to be something but to be someone.” 

LIBRA 

SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23 

SCORPIO 

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22 

SAGITTARIUS 

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21 

CAPRICORN 

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20 

Venus vamps into your sign on Monday, 

which boosts your natural Libran 

charisma. But it also amps up your preoccupation 

with perfection. So try to 

focus on the evolving journey, rather 

than the final destination. On the weekend, 

the Full Blue Moon encourages 

you to focus on friendships and make a 

wish list of your goals for the future. Be 

inspired by birthday great Madonna: “I 

stand for freedom of expression, doing 

what you believe in, and going after your 

dreams.” 

This week there may be some conflict 

between domestic responsibilities and 

professional expectations. You’re keen 

to plunge into a personal project ASAP 

but make sure you do your homework 

first and don’t promise more than you 

can actually deliver. You could also 

experience problems with a work colleague 

or family member who is jealous 

of what you are achieving. Don’t let it 

deter you! Just flash them a warm Scorpio 

smile and encourage them to follow 

their dreams. 

The Sun/Jupiter opposition and the 

Full Moon in Aquarius rev up your restless 

side. Sagittarians are free spirits and 

you could still feel frustrated by ongoing 

social distancing rules and/or travel restrictions. 

Don’t let it stop you from being 

adventurous and taking on challenges 

in creative and COVID appropriate 

ways. Draw inspiration from birthday 

great Madonna: “If I can’t be daring in 

my work or the way I live my life, then I 

don’t really see the point of being on this 

planet.” 

Slow down, cool down and calm down 

Capricorn! Don’t make major mountains 

out of minor molehills, and waste 

precious time worrying about inconsequential 

problems this week. Things 

should run reasonably smoothly and, 

if there are complications, then clever 

communication will help you sail 

through any temporary turbulence. The 

weekend Mars/Uranus trine is terrific 

for education, learning, teaching, creative 

projects and cosmopolitan friendships.

A 

great childcare 

centre is like a 

family: connecting 

people young and old with 

encouragement, support and 

relationship. Embedding 

connections with children, 

their carers and their community, 

childcare centres can 

foster the emotional health 

and social wellbeing of our 

future generations. 

Childcare designed for the 

local community 

Education isn’t one-size-fits 

all: your child is unique – and 

their context is too. Understanding 

each child’s social 

environment is essential in 

supporting their learning 

journey. Working closely 

within community enables 

childcare services to create 

curated programs that suit 

your child’s needs. 

Families come first 

Family involvement is at the 

heart of great childcare. When 

EARLY EDUCATION 

WITH KATH MCMURTRIE • ALFRED STREET EARLY EDUCATION CENTRE • 9637 2082 

Why family involvement is critical 

there are open, inclusive 

and respectful relationships, 

families can discover the kind 

of care they want for their 

children. Seeing parents and 

carers as partners is better 

for children, as we all work 

together to help them flourish 

and thrive. 

Getting help from the 

community 

As the saying goes, “It takes 

a village.” Developing strong 

local ties can link childcare 

centres with diverse community 

groups and organisations, 

meaning they can access more 

resources. Uniting together 

helps us become more than 

the sum of our parts, offering 

a more well-rounded experience 

than if we each worked 

alone.

involvement is at the heart of 

our program. Call 9637 2082

MUSIC AND MAGIC 

AT THE COLISEUM 

EMILY FESZCZUK 

Award winning singer-songwriter 

Kate Miller-Heidke will 

be going back in time for her 

long awaited ‘Child in Reverse 

Tour’ later this year. 

The classically trained pop star will bring 

some new material and old favourites to 

Sydney Coliseum Theatre at West HQ. 

Releasing her fifth studio album of the 

same name last year, Kate told Parra News 

she is ready to get on the road from the end 

of September. 

“It’s been a long time coming, this tour 

was supposed to happen a year ago so I 

can’t wait to play some of these new songs, 

many of which we have never played live,” 

Kate said. 

While the pandemic is clouding the 

planned shows, Kate is keeping her fingers 

crossed everything goes ahead as planned. 

“Just on a more basic level to be in a room 

with real live humans is something I will 

never take for granted again and I think it 

will be pretty emotional for me,” she said. 

Becoming a mother to her son Ernie inspired 

Kate to write what she says is her 

most “personal record”, with themes of 

childhood. 

“Something that was at the forefront of 

my mind when I was writing these songs 

is that you are quite vulnerable as a child 

and what happens to you can then resonate 

your whole life,” she said. 

“Some songs on this record are about 

childhood trauma which makes it sound 

not fun to listen to but I promise there are 

fun poppy songs on there. 

“I am a fan of having sad lyrics but 

wrapped up in a sort of feel good package.” 

Being joined by a talented six-piece 

band, Kate said the shows later this year 

will include a mix of songs with some magic 

thrown in. 

“There will be an element of a greatest 

hits tour, obviously we will play stuff off 

the new record and people are requesting 

things which is great so it will be a balance 

of kind of old and new,” she said. 

“For me playing live has been at the centre 

of what I do and I love it… it is important 

for me to be entertaining, to take people 

on a journey, have some humour, and 

story telling at the heart of it.” 

Be entertained by Kate Miller-Heidke’s 

unique musical style and experience the 

drama she brings on stage for yourself. 

Tickets are on sale now for the planned 

tour. 

Kate Miller-Heidke will be on at Sydney 

Coliseum Theatre in Rooty Hill on Saturday, 

October 16. Tickets are from $79.90.

After We Fell Don’t Breathe 2 

1 hour, 35 minutes 1 hour, 39 minutes 


Just as Tessa makes the biggest 

decision of her young life, everything 

changes. 

Revelations about her family, and 

then Hardin’s, throw everything they 

knew before in doubt and makes their 

hard-won future together more difficult 

to claim. 

Can they overcome the challenges 

before them? 

‘After We Fell’ stars Stephen Moyer, 

Mira Sorvino, Arielle Kebbel, Hero 

Fiennes Tiffin, Josephine Langford 

and Louise Lombard. 

The movie is the third film in the

See these movies at... 

The sequel to 2016’s ‘Don’t Breathe’ is 

finally just around the corner – and it 

could be the first movie you see after 

lockdown (or one to have on the list 

when it finally does lift!) 

‘Don’t Breathe 2’ is set in the years 

following the initial deadly home 

invasion, where Norman Nordstrom 

(Stephen Lang) lives in quiet solace 

until his past sins catch up to him. 

Hiding out for years in an isolated 

cabin, Norman has taken in and raised 

a young girl orphaned from a house 

fire. Their quiet existence is shattered 

when a group of kidnappers show up 

and take the girl, forcing Norman to 

leave his safe haven to save her. 

‘Don’t Breathe 2’ is due to be released 

on August 26.

Celebrating an icon 

LandCruiser turns 70; Toyota to release special-edition versions 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

Toyota’s legendary LandCruiser 

turns 70 this month – an historic 

milestone being celebrated in 

Australia with the release of specialedition 

versions of the rugged Land- 

Cruiser 70 Series off-roader. 

The platinum anniversary marks the 

1951 Japanese debut of the Toyota BJ, 

which three years later was renamed 

LandCruiser – a brand that has been 

proudly displayed on more than 10 million 

vehicles sold worldwide. 

The special-edition model – available in 

single-cab, double-cab and wagon variants 

– features bold styling enhancements 

that complement LandCruiser’s rock-solid 

off-road reputation and ability to conquer 

some of the harshest terrain on the planet. 

Just 600 examples of the 70th Anniversary 

LandCruiser will be produced 

– 320 double cabs, 200 single cabs and 

80 wagons – available in three colours, 

French Vanilla, Merlot Red and Sandy 

Taupe. 

Arriving in dealerships in September, 

the Anniversary models are priced from 

The popular Toyota LandCruiser is celebrating its 70th anniversary. 

$80,050 (single cab), $82,600 (double cab) 

and $78,500 (wagon). 

Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales, 

Marketing and Franchise Operations, 

Sean Hanley, said Australian customers 

had made LandCruiser the icon it is today 

with 1.14 million having been sold locally. 

“The LandCruiser nameplate has earned 

legendary status in Australia, with a 

decades-long track record of durability 

and reliability in the toughest conditions 

our country has to offer,” he said. 

“The 70th Anniversary special-edition 

is a tribute to the many LandCruisers that 

came before it, helping Australians navigate 

our harsh and rugged environment, 

whether that’s through the desert, across 

the mountains or deep in the forest. 

“The icing on the cake as we celebrate 70 

years of LandCruiser will be the all-new 

300 Series that we will launch later this 

year with the capability, performance and 

comfort to take Australians further than 

ever before.” 

The LandCruiser 70th Anniversary 

special-edition is based on the flagship 

GXL grade and will be offered as a 76 Series 

wagon and 79 Series single and double cab 

chassis pick-up.

Haynes agrees to bat on 

Sydney Thunder finalises preparations ahead of WBBL title defence 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

Aussie star Rachael Haynes will 

lead Sydney Thunder’s title 

defence after re-signing with the 

club for the upcoming WBBL season. 

“I just really enjoy playing for a club that 

stands for something and is aligned with 

the community in the way it is,” Haynes, 

who enters her third season as a captain, 

said. 

“I’m really excited to be around for 

another 12 months.” 

The 34-year-old has been at the Thunder 

since the beginning of WBBL and has been 

an integral part of two titles, the first in 

WBBL|01 then as captain for WBBL|06. 

Last season’s success was made all the 

more significant by the unique situation 

of playing the entire tournament within a 

bio-secure ‘bubble’ due to the pandemic. 

“It was absolutely incredibly to be a part 

of… an incredible achievement and I’m 

looking forward to building on that experience 

with this side,” Haynes said. 

“We’ve got a core group of players there, 

and I think the exciting thing for our team 

is that I don’t think anyone has reached 

their ceiling yet. 

“I think we’ve got heaps of room for 

improvement and players are going to 

continue to get better.” 

Haynes went to the top of the club’s 

WBBL run-scorers list last season passing 

the player she took over the captaincy from 

in 2019, Thunder great Alex Blackwell. 

Blackwell, now the Thunder’s WBBL List 

Manager, said Haynes was a crucial signing 

given what she means to the club. 

“Rachael is completely committed, and 

I think that’s what is quite inspiring to 

people around her,” she said. 

“She continues to foster a really strong 

culture. 

“All players, from my point of view, seem 

to be very clear on their role, are highly 

valued within the set up and are provided 

with opportunities to develop. That’s what 

I’ve seen Rachael do so well over the last 

couple of years.” 

The Thunder is scheduled to begin their 

title defence against the Adelaide Strikers 

at North Sydney Oval on Saturday, October 

16, before renewing their crosstown 

rivalry with the Sydney Sixers the next day 

at the same venue. 

For Haynes, to be back playing in front of 

the Thunder Nation this season, would be 

“really uplifting”. 

Rachael Haynes will lead the Sydney Thunder again in the WBBL.

Star re-signs as club 

eyes Finals finish 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

Bryleeh Henry enjoyed her first 

season in the W-League so 

much that she’s coming back 

for more. 

The Penrith resident, who recently 

signed a new one-year deal with the 

Western Sydney Wanderers, joined 

the club last season after making 

waves in the NSW National Premier 

League Women’s competition with 

Football NSW Institute where she 

scored seven goals in 10 games. 

The 18-year-old former Xavier 

College student shone in her first 

W-League season and scored her first 

goals, a double against Melbourne 

City, towards the end of the season. 

Wanderers W-League coach Catherine 

Cannuli said she’s excited to 

work with Henry again. 

“Bryleeh is a dynamite on the field 

and her hard work over in the domestic 

competitions over the last few 

years has seen her reap the benefits in 

the W-League,” she said. 

“She is a passionate western Sydney 

girl and has a wealth of talent that we 

are looking forward to continuing to 

develop.” 

Henry, who was a member of the 

Junior Matildas back in 2019, said she 

was grateful for the chance to return 

to Wanderland for another season. 

“I was beyond grateful for the 

opportunity to make my debut in the 

W-League last season and even more 

grateful to make it at my hometown 

club,” she said. 

“I love the Wanderers. They are a 

family-based club and really take care 

of their players. The culture at the 

club is one I have never experienced 

before and having such an amazing 

culture really makes training every 

day so much more enjoyable.” 

The Wanderers missed out on a spot 

in the W-League Finals last season, 

finishing in sixth position with just 

four wins to their name. In June, they 

promoted club legend Catherine 

Cannuli as the team’s head coach. 

Henry said she’s ready to help to 

take the Wanderers to a Finals berth 

this upcoming season. 

“I learnt so much and I felt I grew 

massively as a player and a person 

[last year],” she said. 

“I know I still have a lot of work to 

do as a player to get where I want to 

be but I’m extremely excited to start 

working under Catherine and keep 

building from last season. 

“We were so unlucky to just miss the 

Finals stage last season, which was 

disappointing, but we will build off 

that and pick up where we left off and 

keep improving to hopefully bring 

the trophy home.” 

The 2021/22 W-League season is 

scheduled to kick-off on November 

12, hopefully uninterrupted by the 

COVID-19 pandemic. 

Bryleeh Henry has signed a new deal with the Western Sydney Wanderers.
