Ward to be re-established 

Westmead Hospital set to reopen its Palliative Care Unit after 12 years 

NICOLA BARTON 

After a two year-long public 

community campaign, Western 

Sydney Local Health District’s 

(WSLHD) Chief Executive has announced 

the Westmead Hospital Palliative Care 

Unit will be reopened. 

The news comes as a surprise to the 

dedicated advocates who have fought for 

its re-establishment and championed the 

importance of end of life care. 

Following the closure of its Supportive 

and Palliative Care Unit in 2009, 

Westmead Hospital has some dedicated 

palliative care beds inside its cancer ward, 

however these can be allocated to other 

types of patients as needed. 

Patients are otherwise transferred to Mt 

Druitt Hospital’s Palliative Care Ward. 

The Westmead Push for Palliative Care 

group, formed two years ago and led by 

former WSLHD Palliative Care Director, 

Dr Phillip Lee, have stressed the importance 

of a stand alone palliative care 

ward for more complex cases that require 

specialised treatment and believe Westmead, 

as a major training hospital, should 

Westmead Push for Palliative Care group members and allies at a roundtable earlier 

this year. 

be the benchmark for such care. 

Advocacy group member Caroline 

Raunjak said campaign members are 

celebrating the good news. 

“My response to the news initially was 

shock, almost disbelief,” she said. 

“After many years of advocating for this 

ward, it will come to fruition. 

“Finally the largest health precinct in 

NSW and the people of western Sydney, 

who deserve this, will have more palliative 

care beds available for them.” 

The future appeared grim earlier this 

year when Health Minister Brad Hazzard 

denied the need for the ward, despite pleas 

from health professionals and community 

leaders. 

However, following a parliamentary 

petition sponsored by Parramatta MP 

Geoff Lee, Mr Hazzard requested in 

March that WSLHD investigate the need 

to re-establish the ward. 

This sparked an independent review 

of WSLHD’s Palliative Care services, 

in which Parra News understands has 

recommended that the ward be reopened. 

Whilst it is understood WSLHD Chief 

Executive Graeme Loy confirmed they 

will do just that at the Westmead Hospital 

Medical Staff Council AGM, details, timeline 

and funding are yet to be announced. 

“Our priority is to ensure the people of 

western Sydney have access to health 

services which work for them now, and in 

the future,” a WSLHD spokesperson said. 

The spokesperson added it was “premature 

to comment on future service provision 

while the palliative care services 

review is ongoing”.

Editor’s Note

Troy Dodds 

@troydodds 

Not just families go on holidays 

Dominic Perrottet last week announced 

that households with school-aged children 

will receive $250 in vouchers for accommodation 

or activities to stimulate 

spending and economic activity. 

I don’t begrudge anyone the money, but 

not only families go on holidays. 

It’s become endemic in government to 

focus on “working families”. That’s where 

the votes are, they believe. 

But society has changed. More people 

are waiting to have kids later. Plenty 

of singles have disposal income they’re 

keen to spend. It’s a nice gesture, but it’s 

time to broaden our thinking.

It’s been a strange couple of weeks reemerging, 

hasn’t it? Getting rid of masks 

outdoors was nice; like a gag coming off. 

I got a cut at one of our buzzing local barbers, 

that such is the dire state of my pate, 

took an embarrassingly short time even 

after four months of growth. (More time 

was spent waiting in line than swivelling 

in the chair.) 

There’s been a sports class and ridiculously 

oversized schnitzel in the eastern 

suburbs. 

A quick coffee with a friend in the Parramatta 

CBD, joined impromptu by three 

others, and converted into a 90-minute 

rumination on life, politics, family and 

the state of the world. 

Suddenly, plans are being made. There 

are things in life to look forward to. A dinner 

at a mate’s brand new house. Tickets 

to the Sydney Film Festival. The possibility 

of travel if the airfares aren’t too steep. 

Many have made the point, but it’s true. 

After months of captivity, the conversation 

rushes out of you. We’re smiling like 

we’ve forgotten what it feels like. And 

slowly reconnecting with friends – taking 

in the obvious physical changes: who’s

had a good lockdown, looking fresher in 

the face, maybe put on weight. But also 

the nuances: who seems relaxed, versus 

who has a garden hose of grievances to 

uncoil, either talking in better or more 

embittered terms about their partner. 

By age 42, I’ve honed the ability to read 

my friends well. Friendship has always 

had an important place. I still remember 

the sleepovers where Mum somehow allowed 

four or five teenage boys to stay 

up in the lounge room watching movies 

like ‘Speed’ or ‘In the Line of Fire’. Socially 

speaking, school for anyone slightly eccentric 

can be a struggle to stay afloat. 

At university, you grow into that individuality 

more. The workplace is a shock. 

Suddenly you’re thrown into a whirlpool 

where everyone’s thrashing their way to 

the top. After-work drinks might be fun at 

the time. But you really don’t have much 

in common and when career paths diverge, 

your co-workers might leave no 

real lasting imprint. 

There are the friends you make on 

your travels – for me, strong bonds compressed 

while bar-hopping in Budapest

de Janeiro. They usually don’t last beyond 

the immediate experience – but just occasionally, 

delightfully, they do. 

There are people you enjoy the good 

times with – and then the ones who stick 

around during the troughs – when you’ve 

been dumped, maybe lost your job or had 

health problems. 

In the past 12 months, I’ve been startled 

when a friend asked me to loan them 

money. On the flipside, I’ve had to push 

one or two to do me a favour, or give me 

work. Boundaries get tested, with unpredictable 

results. To this catalogue, we can 

add the friendships that survived COVID. 

Fortunately, as we get older there’s less 

pressure to see the important people in 

our lives daily or integrate with their every 

twist and turn. 

I’m sure in coming weeks, I’ll gradually 

see more of my mates, one by one. We’ll 

get a sense of where we’re up to. 

Billions of people have walked the earth 

since time began, yet most of us only truly 

connect with a few dozen. While cherishing 

the old ones, I also hope to make new 

friends that open up more dimensions of 

life.

Eat Street is alive again 

Business owners relieved, but say many promises have been unfulfilled 

NICOLA BARTON 

Parramatta’s famous dining strip 

is now back open for business, 

following the completion of major 

light rail construction. 

Eat Street has taken a major hit over the 

past two years with both construction and 

the pandemic causing major financial 

blows to business owners. 

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the 

removal of construction fencing was even 

more significant as the state opened back 

up after months of restrictions. 

“We know it’s been a tough time for local 

businesses and I want to thank them for 

their support and patience,” he said. 

“It’s great to see all of the hard work has 

now paid off.” 

For John Chammas, owner of Mama and 

Papas, the completion of the works is a 

huge relief after a dark few years. 

“It’s been a war zone; turning off our 

water and electricity, the noise... we’ve 

been to hell and back,” he said. 

“Business has been amazing this week, 

the timing worked well with restrictions 

ending; we’ve got plenty of light at the end 

of the tunnel now.” 

Despite his relief and optimism that the 

famed dining strip will return to its former 

glory, he said there is still a fight ahead 

for business owners to hold Transport 

for NSW (TFNSW) accountable for some 

undelivered promises. 

“It looks good but it’s not practical, they 

wouldn’t listen to us, they just wanted to 

tick a box,” he said. 

“The umbrellas are too small, there’s 

gaps where the rain waterfalls through 

and the allocated umbrellas don’t even 

align with the front of our shops; they are 

completely useless in bad weather. 

“If the weather changes and we have a 

full house, there will be nowhere to put the 

outdoor customers. 

“They also told us there would be lights 

and heaters but they also haven’t been 

delivered.” 

TFNSW has now formally handed the 

street back to the City of Parramatta 

Council, meaning the Council will now 

be required to work with businesses to 

John Chammas is one of many restaurant owners hoping for a bright future. 

complete the outdoor dining infrastructure, 

including the connection of power 

and installation of heating and lighting. 

“A TFNSW activation called ‘Eat Street 

Uncovered’ is being rolled out to celebrate 

the completion of these works, including 

events and activities, in the coming 

months,” A TFNSW spokesperson said. 

Locals will be able to familiarise themselves 

with the rejuvenated space before 

trams start rolling in 2023. 

Those wishing to support businesses 

along the strip can park at Secure Parking

A leader for the future 

New AMSA President wants to create “home away from home” for expats 

NICOLA BARTON 

The Australian Malaysian 

Singaporean Association 

(AMSA) has appointed 

its 23rd president, Lidcombe 

resident Thomson Ch’ng. 

Mr Ch’ng first arrived in 

Australia in 2009 as an international 

student and has since 

been a voice and advocate for 

multiculturalism in Australia. 

Mr Ch’ng was a founding 

delegate and the fourth 

National President of Australia’s 

international student peak 

body – Council of International 

Students Australia (CISA) 

representing over 600,000 international 

students nation-wide. 

He was also a youth advisory 

committee member of the 

Federation of Ethnic Communities’ 

Council of Australia 

(FECCA), a convenor of the 

Asian Australian Alliance and 

has won many awards and 

honours for his contribution to 

the multicultural community in 

Australia. 

In March, he featured in the 

Australian National Maritime 

Museum’s ‘A Mile in My Shoes’, a 

project that celebrates the voices 

of migrants who have made 

Australia their home. 

Mr Ch’ng said he felt honoured 

to be elected President of AMSA. 

“I wish to thank all members 

for entrusting me with this 

great responsibility to lead the 

association,” he said. 

“Half a century is an incredible 

milestone for any organisation 

and I would like to thank all 

members, supporters, committee 

members and presidents of 

both past and present for their 

contribution, bringing AMSA to 

where it is today.” 

Mr Ch’ng said community 

groups like AMSA play a vital 

role in allowing multicultural 

communities to feel safe and 

supported whilst studying or 

working in Australia. 

His vision is to create a “home 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

away from home” for all Malaysians 

and Singaporeans in 

Australia. 

According to the Australian 

Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) 2016 

Census, there were 138,364 

Malaysia-born people and 

54,939 Singapore-born people 

in Australia. 

“The people-to-people link 

between Malaysia, Singapore 

and Australia is deep and has 

come a long way,” Mr Ch’ng said. 

“Malaysians and Singaporeans 

are success stories of Australia’s 

multiculturalism. 

“We look forward to deepening 

the relationship and contributing 

to Australia’s fabric of multicultural 

society.” 

Mr Ch’ng thanked outgoing 

President Colin Lee, committee 

members Rebecca Lee, Bun 

Leng Chea and Amelia Seow 

for their contributions over the 

years. 

The Executive Committeeelect 

will be officially inaugurated 

on January 1, 2022.

State Crime Command swoops 

Criminal Groups Squad detectives 

have charged 12 people as part of an 

investigation into a public place shooting 

and conspiracy to kidnap and murder 

another man in Merrylands last month. 

On Tuesday, September 28, detectives 

from the State Crime Command’s 

Criminal Groups Squad received 

information relating to a public place 

shooting outside a home on William 

Street, Merrylands, which occurred the 

night before. 

Subsequent inquiries revealed the

part of a conspiracy to murder another 

man and involved several associates of 

the Nomads outlaw motorcycle gang 

(OMCG). 

11 men and one woman between 20 

and 48-years-old have been arrested 

over their alleged roles in the incident. 

They remain before the courts. 

During the investigation police seized 

firearms, prohibited drugs, an electronic 

stun device and a substantial amount of 

cash. 

All items seized will undergo further 

forensic examination. 

Investigations by Criminal Groups 

Squad detectives continue.

While more than 20,000 people have 

expressed their interest so far, Director 

of Election Support Services Wayne 

Morgan said more applicants are needed 

than ever before. 

“We’re hiring additional staff in line 

with our COVID-19 Safety Plan,” Mr 

Morgan said. 

“Extra staff will support people in 

checking-in and out of polling places, 

maintaining physical distancing and 

additional cleaning measures. 

“If you’re enthusiastic about working 

with your community, it’s an excellent 

way to earn some extra money and learn 

new skills. 

“There are jobs available just on election

CITY OF PARRAMATTA 

2021 NSW LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS 

Saturday 4 September 2021 

Thinking of nominating as a candidate for your local Council? 

If you’re considering nominating as a candidate for the 2021 NSW Local Government elections, you should read this notice. It provides general 

guidance about the process of nominating, and candidates’ obligations and responsibilities. Prospective candidates should seek their own 

independent legal advice if they are unsure whether they are eligible to run for public office in a local council or how the law applies to their 

specific circumstances. 

Nominate as a Mayor or Councillor 

To nominate as a Mayor or Councillor you must lodge a nomination 

form, either by using the Electoral Commission’s online nomination 

system or delivering it to the Returning Officer. 

Nominating involves: 

• Read the instructions on the nomination form carefully – all parts must 

be completed. 

• You may be nominated by either a registered political party, or by 

two electors enrolled in the local government area or ward for which 

you are being nominated. For example, if you are being nominated as 

a candidate for a ward your nominators must be enrolled in that ward. 

• Candidates must also complete a candidate information sheet and 

statistical information sheet. 

• A nomination deposit must be paid. 

Grouping of Councillor candidates on the ballot paper 

Two or more Councillor candidates may form a group on the ballot 

paper, and where eligible, request a group voting square (box above 

the line) be printed on the ballot paper for the group. 

In addition to lodging the nomination form, these candidates must 

also lodge a Request to form a group form. 

Nomination deposit 

All candidates must pay a nomination deposit of $125 each to the 

NSW Electoral Commission. 

Where candidates also lodge a Request to form a group, the deposit 

is capped at $625 for a group of five candidates or more. 

If using the online nominations system, the deposit must be paid by 

either MasterCard or VISA. 

If using paper nomination forms, the nomination deposit must be paid 

by cash or bank or building society cheque. 

Start your nomination now 

The NSW Electoral Commission’s online nominations system is now 

available at elections.nsw.gov.au You can start the process of 

nominating online now. 

Alternatively, paper nomination forms are available by calling the 

Commission’s candidate helpdesk on 1300 022 011. 

Candidates who previously prepared a nomination form 

Following the postponement of the elections to Saturday 4 December 

2021, it was determined that any nomination or grouping forms created 

for the postponed Saturday 4 September 2021 elections will need to 

be redone. 

This decision was made to ensure information submitted in nomination 

forms is accurate and current. 

Lodge your nomination 

Candidates may lodge their nominations and pay the deposit online. 

However, if using paper nomination forms, you must lodge your 

nomination and deposit with the Returning Officer for the council 

area in which you intend to stand as a candidate. Returning Officer 

office locations can be found at elections.nsw.gov.au/lge21 

You are encouraged to start preparing your nomination form – and 

grouping form if applicable – now. 

The NSW Electoral Commission strongly encourages you to lodge your 

nomination online. As the public health situation can change quickly 

in any LGA, locations at which a nomination can be lodged in person 

ADVERTISEMENT 

may be closed in accordance with public health orders or if it becomes 

necessary due to risks associated with COVID-19. 

Nomination forms, grouping forms and nomination deposits must 

be lodged between Monday 25 October and 12 noon, Wednesday 

3 November 2021. 

Late nominations will not be accepted. 

Registration for electoral funding purposes 

NSW has strict laws that regulate the election campaign finances of 

political parties, candidates and groups at the election. These include 

requirements to operate a campaign account, and to record and 

disclose political donations and electoral expenditure. In addition, 

there are caps on political donations and electoral expenditure. 

Prior to being nominated, candidates and groups who wish to accept 

political donations or pay for electoral expenditure must first apply to 

the NSW Electoral Commission to be registered for electoral funding 

purposes. Only once registered is a candidate or group allowed to 

accept political donations and pay for electoral expenditure. 

Candidates and groups can apply to be registered through the NSW 

Electoral Commission’s new online registration and disclosure system, 

Funding and Disclosure Online. Forms are also available on the 

Commission’s website. 

Applications for registration for electoral funding purposes close on 

Wednesday 3 November 2021. 

From Thursday 4 November 2021, nominated candidates and groups 

that have not registered before being nominated are taken to be 

registered and will take on significant legal obligations for recordkeeping 

and making disclosures. Even already-registered candidates 

and groups who decide not to nominate will have some ongoing 

electoral funding law obligations. 

To learn more go to elections.nsw.gov.au/funding-and-disclosure 

Enquiries about being registered and the laws that apply to 

political donations and electoral expenditure should be sent to 

fdc@elections.nsw.gov.au 

Candidate Handbook and webinars 

A Candidate Handbook will be made available on the NSW Electoral 

Commission’s website. Educational webinars which assist candidates 

in navigating the process are also available. 

Ballot paper draw 

The Returning Officer will formally announce the candidates and 

conduct a draw to determine the order of groups (where applicable) 

and candidate names on the ballot paper at the office of the relevant 

Returning Officer at 10am, Thursday 4 November 2021. 

Observing the ballot paper draw will be subject to the capacity of the 

Returning Officer’s office and any NSW Health public health orders in 

effect at that time.

Have your say 

on new project 

NICOLA BARTON 

Whether it be a farmers’ market 

or a festival, the community 

is being asked to submit their 

ideas to help shape the future of Epping 

events at The Langston Precinct. 

Just as Greater Sydney exits three 

months of lockdown, residents can start 

to get creative about future event ideas to 

enjoy with family and friends next year. 

As Cbus Property approaches the final 

stages of its landmark project, the Australian 

property developer and investor has 

offered the project’s future residents and 

members of the local community the 

chance to have their say on the events and 

activities they wish to see on site upon its 

completion. 

Set within a landscaped 2,750-squaremetre 

public plaza adjoining a 

2,100-square-metre mixed-use retail 

precinct, including a supermarket, cafés, 

restaurants, and a number of other retail 

tenancies, The Langston is set to be a 

major central meeting point for Epping 

locals, situated opposite the train station. 

This community consultation will assist 

in the development of The Langston’s 

Place Activation Strategy to shape how 

the community interacts with and experiences 

the site’s public realm when it opens 

in early 2022. 

Cbus Property’s Chief Executive Officer, 

Adrian Pozzo, said it was essential to 

canvas opinion about how The Langston’s 

public spaces would be used. 

“Whether it is weekend events and festivals, 

farmers’ markets, family fun days, or 

any number of other suggestions, we want 

to hear the thoughts and comments of the 

community when it comes to setting out 

our Place Activation Strategy,” he said. 

“We have been engaging with the 

community from the outset of the project, 

through direct meetings with local 

community groups, formalised quarterly 

Construction Liaison Committee meetings, 

partnerships with local artists, and 

supporting community events. 

“In 2018, we hosted The Langston Weekender, 

which brought together nearly 

2,000 people from across the community 

for a weekend filled with food and beverage 

providers, public art, markets, live 

music, and pop-up retail.” 

Cbus Property is currently planning 

to host a Zoom community engagement 

session for the Epping community.

Making a difference 

Westfield Parramatta announces its incredible Local Heroes for 2021 

NICOLA BARTON 

Inspiring locals making a difference 

have not gone unnoticed, with the 

recipients of the 2021 Westfield Local 

Heroes announced. 

Now in its fourth year, the program 

recognises those whose work or contributions 

create positive benefits for others in 

the community and awards $10,000 grants 

to three successful finalists. 

This year’s three Parramatta heroes 

include Christine Cleary, Dr Ruth Parsell 

and Seethalakshmi Srinivasan. 

Ms Cleary has been recognised for her 

work as the founder of StreetMed, a charity 

that provides free healthcare, food and 

clothes to homeless and at-risk people in 

western Sydney. 

Twice-named Hills District Citizen of the 

Year, Ms Cleary spends most nights out on 

the streets leading a team of volunteers 

who provide physical and mental health 

checks, warm meals, emotional and practical 

support and food for pets. 

Dr Parsell is a deputy medical director 

at CareFlight, a charity that takes the 

emergency department to the patient in a

Not only does the Westmead resident 

save lives, but she is a role model who 

proves women can successfully combine 

raising a family and a successful, challenging 

career in aeromedical medicine. 

Ms Srinivasan creates positive new pathways 

for migrant parents and is a pillar 

of support for isolated and vulnerable 

women. As community liaison officer at

parents feel included, empowered and 

confident to thrive in the community. 

Reflecting on this year’s winners, Westfield 

Parramatta Centre Manager Adam 

Dillon said each was equally inspiring in 

undertaking their important work for the 

community. 

“The Westfield Local Heroes program 

continues to recognise and reward everyday 

people doing extraordinary things in 

our communities,” he said. 

“We are incredibly proud to be able to 

recognise the important work they are 

doing, and it’s with great pleasure that 

we announce our 2021 Westfield Local 

Heroes grant recipients. 

“It’s fantastic for our broader communities 

to see first-hand what a Westfield 

Local Heroes grant can help to achieve. 

“We thank our Parramatta community 

for voting and supporting all of our nominees; 

it’s a privilege to continue to support 

those who have made a lasting impact on 

the future of our local community.” 

We’re so excited to welcome people to our

Julie Owens Bulletin 

Raising the voices of youth 

In 2018, a young woman called Ruby Bisson came to me with an idea 

to raise the voices of local young people in our nation’s parliament. 

I made a commitment to read a speech written by a young person from 

Parramatta during each sitting of the Parliament that year. 

I’m proud to say that in 2021, this great idea that started in Parramatta has 

blossomed into Youth Voice in Parliament Week, with MPs from around 

Australia reading speeches from young people in their communities. 

This Youth Voice in Parliament week I read a speech by local high school 

student Reya, age 15. Reya said twenty years from now, she wanted to “see 

an Australia that is not afraid to battle climate change at its core...that is not 

starting the process of using renewable resources but one that has been for 

years. One that understands that to secure the future we have to start now.” 

Now more than ever, the voices of our young people need to be heard. I want 

to thank Raise Our Voice Australia, Ruby and all our young speechwriters for 

making this possible. 

Reya, 15 wants to see genuine action 

on climate change 


Morrison votes down corruption probe 

Last week the Morrison Government voted against a Privileges Committee investigation into potential 

contempt of the Parliament by Christian Porter, recommended by the Speaker of the House Tony Smith. 

This is the first time this has happened in the 120 year history of the Australian Parliament and signals to Morrison 

Government MPs that they are free to hide their financial interests behind so-called “blind trusts” - like the one Christian 

Poter used to accept an undisclosed amount up to $1 million dollars from secret benefactors with unknown motives to 

fund his personal legal action against the ABC. 

It’s been more than 1000 days since, under intense pressure from Labor, Mr Morrison promised to set up a federal anticorruption 

body. Instead of delivering on his promise, he’s showing us he has no interest in exposing corruption. He just 

wants it covered up. 

Only a Labor Government will deliver a National Anti-Corruption Commission with the power to hold Federal MPs to account. 

Local seniors locked out of aged care 

The Royal Commission into Aged Care recommended urgent action to clear home care package waiting 

lists, which were stuck at 100,000 for years. 

But the Morrison Government has only committed to fund 40,000 new places a year for two years, meaning thousands 

of seniors could be left waiting for care they urgently need. 

Seniors from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in Parramatta need to overcome extra hurdles to access 

aged care services and all too often end up with services that don’t meet their language or cultural needs and 

rely on family to deliver meals they can eat, or communicate with carers. 

Around half of Parramatta’s seniors speak a language other than English - nation-wide its around one in 

four – but the Morrison Government is not doing enough to make sure they can get the care they need 

in their old age. If this is affecting you or your loved ones, please contact my office.

Celebrating Tamil pride 

Not-for-profit Kamban Kazhagam Australia reaches 15-year milestone 

NICOLA BARTON 

Kamban Kazhagam Australia is 

celebrating 15 years of bringing 

Tamil culture to Australia. 

The not-for-profit organisation, based in 

Westmead, is named after legendary poet 

Kamban and is dedicated to the learning 

and appreciation of his renowned literary 

works Kamba Ramayanam. 

Kamban Kazhagam Australia was established 

to bring the teachings and lessons 

of the Kamba Ramayanam to Australia. 

Now, for 15 years, they have promoted 

and developed the valuable teachings of 

the Kamba Ramayanam to both new and 

learned audiences, including advocating 

for the growth of Tamil among young 

Australians. 

Mathurshan Sangarathasan, a young 

member of the organisation, said being of 

Tamil ancestry, one of the oldest cultures 

and languages in the world, is something 

that he’s extremely proud of. 

“A main focus for us has been accessibility, 

which has allowed us to enable free 

classes for senior, intermediate and beginner 

level speakers to grow and develop 

Kamban Kazhagam Australia is celebrating 15 years. 

their own skills in Tamil,” he said. 

“Starting senior classes in 2013, I have 

developed positive attributes in strengthening 

my language, communication and 

philosophical thinking. 

“Through our weekly classes we have 

established public speaking forums and 

contests which provide our students an 

opportunity to build confidence in their 

spoken literacy.” 

Kamban Kazhagam is a volunteer-run 

organisation that is heavily rooted within 

the Australian community, assisting 

with Clean Up Australia Day and having 

donated in excess of $15,000 to the NSW 

Fire Brigade as a result of the 2020 bushfires. 

The group hosts cultural events ranging 

from music, performance and literary 

arts, all aimed to increase involvement 

and spread the creative nuances of Tamil 

culture. 

These annual events showcase the 

display of artistic abilities spread throughout 

the Australian community, combined 

with international talent. 

“Aside from growing my love for the 

Tamil language and culture, over the last 

eight years I’ve grown a family of likeminded 

individuals whom I meet weekly 

to learn, share thoughts and discuss introspective 

applications of age-old cultural 

practises,” Mr Sangarathasan said. 

“It is fascinating to explore the ‘iliad and 

odysseys’, the legends, myths, tales and 

cultural intricacies of the Tamil language. 

“15 years of passion driven work by 

Kamban Kazhagam has allowed me to 

develop a sense of cultural awareness, 

while increasing the discussion surrounding 

Tamil arts in the community.”

How a cheap egg slicer reminded 

me of important business lessons 

You would think that, as a business 

advisor, I would have had 

more sense. 

One night while taking turns on kitchen 

duty, I broke the egg slicer. So, I surfed 

and found a number advertised on one 

of those mass product sale sites. One 

clearance site said that their slicer was 

“stainless steel”. At least one of the photos 

seemed to confirm it. It had a bonus that 

you could slice either horizontal slices 

or eight vertical segments and even slice 

other things. So, I ordered the device 

($5.25 postage paid) and waited. 

It arrived! Managed to make my way 

through the outer package breathlessly 

waiting to see the magnificent stainlesssteel 

egg slicer. BIG disappointment, 

dull grey flimsy plastic. It broke with the 

third egg sliced. 

Lessons learned 

Me/consumer 

You get what you pay for 

Don’t be anxious to buy 

Don’t believe the advertiser 

Don’t shop with them again 

Check the country of origin of product and seller 

Check the country of manufacture 

Gave the item an honest one-star 

review on the clearance site. So far, I have 

had four begging emails from the seller 

offering several inducements (including 

a replacement item!) to amend my 

review. 

If you are a seller/business, work back 

up the list, each step will demonstrate 

how intertwined your decisions and the 

seller’s experiences and perceptions are 

and how they can impact on your business.

Retirement often gives 

people more time to 

pursue their passions 

and hobbies and with a little 

bit of preparation and planning 

you can ensure you 

have your affairs in order, 

allowing you to sit back and

Our top tips for planning 

ahead for your retirement: 

– Ask yourself if your 

current home is suitable 

for now and into the 

future. Consider rightsizing

things we enjoy.”

AQUARIUS 

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19 

Aquarians can expect a rollicking ride, 

as your motivation levels fluctuate. Is a 

work colleague or loved one being difficult 

and demanding? Don’t be too 

hard on them … they have a lot on their 

plate. It’s a good week for goals, dreams, 

financial matters and taking care of business 

but you’ll feel a bit stir-crazy on the 

weekend. Try channelling your restless 

energy into challenging personal projects 

and adventurous outdoor pursuits, 

rather than sitting around feeling frustrated.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY BOHO ASTRO - JOANNE MADELINE MOORE

PISCES 

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20 

When it comes to plans for the future, 

you’re full of innovative ideas and creative 

schemes. But can you tell the difference 

between an inspiring daydream 

and a dodgy delusion? Realistic Saturn 

demands that you dig deep and set substantial 

goals that are worthy of your talents. 

And strive to get the balance right 

between being impulsive and taking 

thoughtful action. Spontaneity works 

sometimes but, at other times, perceptive 

Pisceans need to adopt a more 

measured approach. 

ARIES 

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20 

Promising opportunities are hovering 

around, and clever Rams will examine 

all possibilities in a sensible and realistic 

light. With Jupiter and Saturn both 

visiting your hopes and wishes zone, it’s 

important to have an exciting long-term 

goal that you’re working towards. You 

need to be patient though, as you focus 

on bringing your lofty dreams down to 

earth via a practical plan. Saturday’s 

Sun/Saturn square will be frustrating, 

so modify your expectations and pace 

yourself. 

TAURUS 

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21 

With Venus and Jupiter activating 

your career zone, find creative ways to 

inspire others and shine more brightly 

at work. You’re feeling positive about a 

challenge but sometimes there’s a fine 

line between being optimistic and being 

unrealistic. Wisdom for the week is from 

birthday great, painter Pablo Picasso 

(who was born on October 25, 1881), 

“Our goals can only be reached through 

the vehicle of a plan, in which we must 

fervently believe, and upon which we 

must vigorously act.”

VIRGO 

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23 

The Sun and Mars are visiting your 

wellbeing zone, so be proactive about 

finding a fitness routine that keeps you 

motivated. And choose healthy food 

options that you actually enjoy eating! 

Attached Twins – are you stuck in a relationship 

rut? Venus and Jupiter encourage 

you to be more adventurous with 

your partner. Unhappily single? Don’t be 

dazzled by bulging pecs or a substantial 

bank balance. Look for lasting love with 

someone who has similar goals and values. 

This week’s planetary patterns suggest 

retiring an outdated friendship so there’s 

room for a new one. Creativity is high, as 

you tap into the magical muse within. 

With Mars and Mercury visiting your 

domestic zone, strive to be more proactive 

and communicative about a current 

family problem. Plus adjust your home/ 

work ratio so it’s much more balanced. 

Many domestically inclined Crabs are 

in the mood to clean, de-clutter, decorate, 

renovate or cook up a storm at Casa 

Cancer. 

Many Lions will crank up the charisma, 

as you make family and friends feel extra 

special. Venus and Jupiter also stimulate 

your love of the good things in life, as you 

enjoy convivial company, beautiful surroundings, 

fine food and stylish fashion. 

But avoid the regular tendency to worry 

and obsess about something that is totally 

out of your control. Heed the wise 

words of Mary Engelbreit, “If you don’t 

like something, change it; if you can’t 

change it, change the way you think 

about it.” 

The Sun/Saturn square could exacerbate 

problems with a stressed colleague 

or a neurotic neighbour, as you misunderstand 

each other’s motives. Make it a 

priority to communicate your thoughts 

and feelings in a clear and compassionate 

way. It’s a suitable week to study financial 

matters, find something that’s 

been lost, tackle jobs you’ve previously 

put on the backburner, and cross tasks 

off your long to-do list. Family get-togethers 

and work functions are also favoured.

CAPRICORN 

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20 

Venus and Jupiter encourage you to 

contribute more of your time and talent 

to a worthy cause within your local community. 

And the planets also prompt you 

to text, tweet, post or publish your ideas 

to an appreciative audience. But keep 

your wits about you and avoid getting 

side-tracked by unrealistic expectations 

and dubious dreams. Inspiration for the 

week is from birthday great, actress Julia 

Roberts (who was born on October 28, 

1967), “Loving what you do is the secret 

to everything.” 

Have you been languishing on the 

sidelines? This week action-planet Mars 

joins the Sun in your sign so sarcasm 

and sulking are out, and buoyant joie de 

vivre is in! There’s much to look forward 

to as you attract good luck, acknowledge 

a success or celebrate an important 

milestone. It’s also time to be as proactive 

and positive as you can manage. So 

your mantra for the week is from Scorpio 

birthday great, painter Pablo Picasso, 

“One must act in painting as in life, directly.” 

Are your goals and dreams for the 

future ambitious enough? Venus and 

Jupiter encourage ruminating over bigpicture 

ideas. Romantic liaisons are 

likely and friendships are favoured. But 

there’s no room for false modesty or passive 

procrastination as you enjoy talking, 

texting, posting, promoting, publishing 

or podcasting. So your motto is from 

birthday great Katy Perry (who was born 

on October 25), “If you’re presenting 

yourself with confidence, you can pull 

off pretty much anything.” 

With Saturn (your patron planet) and 

Jupiter both stimulating your wealth 

zone, tap into the abundance that is all 

around you – and not just on a financial 

level. It’s time to combine your outer 

creativity with your inner strength, so 

that you shine brightly for all the world 

to see. Strong self-esteem and self-acceptance 

are your Capricorn birthright! 

So your motto for the moment is from 

entertainer Katy Perry (who turns 37 on 

October 25), “Self-acceptance is the key 

to be truly free.”

EARLY EDUCATION 

WITH KATH MCMURTRIE • ALFRED STREET EARLY 

EDUCATION CENTRE • 9637 2082 

Early education helps ensure your 

children are ready for school 

PN43815 

Being ready for school is about 

more than reading and writing. 

It’s also important to consider 

whether your child has social skills, is 

able to play well with others and can 

complete simple self-care tasks – all on 

their own! 

A head start for success 

Children who can identify their 

numbers and letters will be able to learn 

to read faster when starting school. 

Knowing basic language concepts and a 

bit about maths and science is important 

for them to start school with their best 

foot forward. 

The importance of social skills 

While your child may be great at maths, 

or already reading books above their 

level, this is only one part of the school 

readiness picture. Children also need 

to know how to play, socialise, make 

friends and share. These skills will make 

the transition to school much smoother. 

Early education helps bridge the gap 

A great early education program 

teaches children everything they need 

to adequately prepare them for the journey 

ahead. 

Early educators can assess how they are 

tracking and help decide whether they 

are ready to make the move to school. 

That’s why finding a great school readiness 

program is the easiest way to make 

the start of school exciting for your child. 

Alfred Street Early Education Centres 

have a program specially designed to 

prepare children for school. Call 9637

SEX IN 

THE 


SUBURBS 

EMILY FESZCZUK 

Can women have it all when it 

comes to sexual freedom, a career, 

family and sanity? 

The new Paramount+ original 

Australian series ‘Spreadsheet’ 

will explore just that, while documenting 

the chaos that is bound to ensue. 

Comedian and Australian acting legend 

Stephen Curry (pictured), who stars in the 

show, said it centres around ‘IT Crowd’ 

and ‘Doc Martin’ star Katherine Parkinson, 

who plays Lauren. 

“Lauren is a mother-of-two who finds 

herself newly divorced and wants to sow 

her wild oats to make up for lost time,” he 

told Parra News. 

“She sets up a spreadsheet of blokes with 

her best mate Alex, so that nothing clashes, 

to make it simple and easy but of course 

the complete opposite happens and everything 

gets complicated.” 

Adding to the complications is Stephen’s 

character Matt, who accidentally gets added 

to the sushi train of sex options. 

“Matt is an old friend and neighbour of 

hers, as well as being newly single and 

Lauren, who is a lawyer, is actually helping 

him with his divorce,” he said. 

“He is a paramedic and a good hearted 

man but he ends up accidentally sliding 

onto the spreadsheet as he keeps accidentally 

falling in to bed with her.” 

Dubbed as the ‘nice guy’, Stephen said 

he has some similarities with his romantic 

character. 

“I would like to think I am a nice guy like 

him but he is more ‘fumbly’ than me,” he 

said. 

“I do know if my wife ever left me I would 

probably be just as lost as him and I would 

need someone to hold my hand and have 

no clue if you swipe left or right on dating 

apps.” 

With a stellar supporting cast, Stephen 

said it was a joyous experience filming the 

show. 

“I had so much fun with the cast like with 

Robbie Magasiva… never worked with him 

before but he is very handsome,” he said. 

“Katrina Milosevic is a good friend of 

mine and we get on like a house on fire 

plus Ryan Shelton and Rowan Witt are very 

classy comedy actors and good fun to be 

around.” 

With plenty of humour, Stephen said it 

provides perfect light viewing. 

“The characters are beautifully written, 

so you can relate to them, but it is also ridiculously 

hilarious,” he said. 

“Katherine Parkinson is so good as the 

lead and it is genuine belly laugh funny, 

which is what you want in a comedy.” 

Enjoy the eight-part series and a cheeky 

dose of sex in the suburbs now. 

‘Spreadsheet’ is available to stream 

now on Paramount+, which is available 

from $8.95 per month.

‘Big Brother: VIP’, ‘SAS: Australia’,

‘Ultimate Tag’ and ‘Australia: Now and 

FEBRUARY 13

PREVIEW 

The Scary Of Sixty-First Antlers 

1 hour, 21 minutes 1 hour, 39 minutes 


Arcadia has just released the official 

trailer for ‘The Scary Of Sixty-First’. 

Directed and written by Dasha Nekrasova 

and starring Nekrasova, Betsey 

Brown, Madeline Quinn and Mark 

Rapaport, the contemporary horror 

is set to arrive in Australian cinemas 

nationally on December 16. 

Horrific real-world news story 

becomes giallo-inspired horror in 

this gleefully deranged interrogation 

of our conspiracy-fuelled, edge 

lord-filled times. 20-something New 

Yorkers Addie (Brown) and Noelle 

(Quinn) can’t believe their luck when 

they find an apartment in their price 

range in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. 

Of course, there’s a catch, and it’s not 

the food left to rot in the cupboard or 

the blood-stained mattresses. As they 

soon learn, the flat used to belong to the 

late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – and 

absolutely nothing good can come from 

staying there, stewing in the paranoiac, 

malevolent doom he left behind. 

The film will be in cinemas on 

December 16. 

From the visionary world of acclaimed 

director Scott Cooper and horror maestro 

Guillermo del Toro comes ‘Antlers’. 

In an isolated Oregon town, a middleschool 

teacher (Keri Russell) and her 

sheriff brother (Jesse Plemons) become 

embroiled with her enigmatic student 

(Jeremy T. Thomas) whose dark secrets 

lead to terrifying encounters with a 

legendary ancestral creature who came 

before them. 

Based on the short story The Quiet Boy 

by Nick Antosca. 

‘Antlers’ hits cinemas on October 28.

Time to get your motor running! 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

Sydney Motorsport Park will be the 

place to be over the next month 

if you’ve missed the smell of 

petroleum and the roar of dozens of V8 

engines throughout lockdown. 

Supercars will return to racing in 

spectacular style, with four back-to-back 

weekends of racing to be held at Sydney 

Motorsport Park, starting this Friday, 

October 29. 

The Eastern Creek track’s various 

layouts and dedicated lighting will be 

used over the next four weekends to 

produce a month-long spectacle for 

motorsport fans in NSW and around 

Australia. 

After a four-month hiatus due to COVID 

restrictions, Supercars will be back with 

a bang for fans prior to the season ending 

Bathurst 1000. 

The grand finale for 2021 is now a sixday 

event, starting on November 30 and 

finishing on December 5. 

Dubbed the Sydney Cup, multiple races 

will be held at night over the next four 

weeks and fans can expect a variation 

in formats and regulations to put on the 

best show ever seen at Sydney Motorsport 

Park. 

“What an exciting five-week period for 

motorsport in NSW with five spectacular 

events to round out the 2021 Supercars 

Championship season,” Minister for 

Western Sydney, Stuart Ayres said. 

“Sydney Motorsport Park is a worldclass 

venue and the NSW Government’s 

investment in permanent lights has 

created the unique opportunity for fans 

to enjoy two weeks of thrilling night 

racing at Eastern Creek.” 

Supercars CEO Sean Seamer said it’s 

fitting the sport returns to racing at 

Sydney Motorsport Park, as they did in 

2020. 

“Those first races [last year] produced 

some of the best entertainment in years, 

and this time will be no different,” he 

said. 

“The venue is world-class and under its 

new permanent lighting makes for spectacular 

viewing for fans at the circuit and 

watching at home. First and foremost, we 

are happy to be back, but we will make 

sure we use everything that SMSP has to 

offer to put on the best possible show.” 

Tickets for the first-ever Sydney Cup at 

Sydney Motorsport Park are now on sale. 

Supercars are back under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park.
