SANTA’S HERE!<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

Santa Claus has come to town, bringing<br />

the fun and festivity to Westfield<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta once again.<br />

Families can experience the magic of Christmas<br />

by getting a snap with the man in the red<br />

suit, with bookings now open.<br />

The much-loved tradition of getting a photo<br />

with Santa will go ahead as usual, with some<br />

extra COVID safety measures in place. Photos<br />

will again be contactless this year, with families<br />

to be photographed 1.5 metres from Santa.<br />

Customers must also wear a mask when<br />

lining up but may remove their mask, only for<br />

the photo, once they are seated in position.<br />

For visits until December 15, people aged<br />

16 or over will need to show proof of COVID<br />

vaccination or proof of medical exemption.<br />

Westfield <strong>Parra</strong>matta will offer the full suite of<br />

Santa photography including ‘sensitive Santa’<br />

sensory sessions, as well as pet photography for<br />

the furry members of the family.<br />

Scentre Group Director of Customer Experience,<br />

Lillian Fadel said Westfield is delighted<br />

to welcome Santa back to their centres to kick<br />

off this years’ festive celebrations.<br />

“Santa’s arrival marks the beginning of the<br />

most magical time of the year at Westfield and<br />

this year we are working to ensure there will be<br />

more Christmas cheer than ever before,” she<br />

said.<br />

Westfield will continue to operate in line with<br />

government and health advice and will offer<br />

a safe Santa experience for <strong>2021</strong>, reflective of<br />

local requirements. Customers are encouraged<br />

to plan their journey and visit their local centre<br />

website for the most up-to-date information.<br />

Customers will need to book online, in<br />

advance to secure their spot with the jolly man<br />

in the red suit.<br />

End of an era as St George<br />

flames out at North Rocks<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

Another bank bites the dust at the<br />

North Rocks Shopping centre,<br />

adding to a list of others who<br />

have exited the centre over the years.<br />

St George Bank will close its North<br />

Rocks branch this Friday December 3,<br />

meaning the shopping centre will no<br />

longer have a bank.<br />

Customers in North Rocks can instead<br />

deposit cash and cheques, withdraw<br />

money and make balance enquiries at<br />

North Rocks Shopping Centre via Bank@<br />

Post at Australia Post.<br />

Alternatively, customers will have to<br />

travel to other St George branches at<br />

Carlingford Court, Baulkham Hills or<br />

Winston Hills.<br />

For locals it is a frustrating outcome<br />

and one that has occurred time and time<br />

again with a variety of different banking<br />

brands over the years.<br />

A St George spokesperson said the<br />

decision ultimately came down to usage<br />

demand.<br />

“When we close a branch, it is not a<br />

decision we take lightly,” the spokesperson<br />

said.<br />

“We take into consideration customer<br />

usage, location and proximity to other<br />

banking services.<br />

St George Bank at North Rocks.<br />

“We continue to follow our customers<br />

by investing in the ways they are choosing<br />

to bank.<br />

“This follows a significant shift toward<br />

digital and cashless banking, and declining<br />

foot traffic in bank branches.<br />

“To meet this changing customer<br />

demand, we have grown our 24/7 phone<br />

banking and virtual banking centres,<br />

as well as investing in digital banking<br />

services to help customers with managing<br />

their money online.”<br />

<strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong> contacted North Rocks<br />

Shopping Centre to ask if another bank<br />

would move into the centre but management<br />

declined to comment.<br />

LOCAL NEWS<br />

Impassioned pleas help send<br />

draft bill to public inquiry<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

The controversial draft bill for the<br />

Greater Sydney Parklands Trust<br />

will be sent to a public inquiry,<br />

following a recent decision by the NSW<br />

Upper House.<br />

The Greater Sydney Parklands agency<br />

was created by the NSW Department of<br />

Planning and seeks to overhaul three<br />

existing Trusts to collectively oversee<br />

and manage Centennial Park and Moore<br />

Park, Callan Park, <strong>Parra</strong>matta Park,<br />

Western Sydney Parkland and Fernhill<br />

Estate.<br />

Critics believe this leaves the door wide<br />

open for commercialisation of our public<br />

spaces but the State Government assures<br />

the superagency will “better protect”<br />

green spaces.<br />

A number of MPs made impassioned<br />

speeches, including Granville MP Julia<br />

Finn, Auburn MP Lynda Voltz and Blacktown<br />

MP Stephen Bali, outlining their<br />

distrust in the bill, effectively sending the<br />

matter to public inquiry in 2022.<br />

North <strong>Parra</strong>matta Residents Action<br />

Group and Alliance for Public Parklands<br />

spokesperson, Suzette Meade welcomed<br />

the inquiry and said the bill is far more<br />

complex than meets the eye.<br />

“This is far more complex an issue than<br />

Suzette Meade.<br />

coffee carts at Callan Park, the proposed<br />

parklands legislation would have allowed<br />

for more of our historic <strong>Parra</strong>matta Park<br />

to be taken for hotels and private use,” she<br />

said.<br />

“We hope the upper house inquiry into<br />

the Greater Sydney Parklands Agency Bill<br />

will shine a light on so many unanswered<br />

questions about the governance of public<br />

parks and how and why the Greater<br />

Sydney Parklands has already had unilateral<br />

powers to remove existing trustee<br />

boards of Centennial and <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

Parks and replace them with a new one<br />

size fits all board out of the Department<br />

of Planning.”<br />

Memorials, COVID and footy<br />

Stop swinging at Oatlands<br />

I cannot imagine the grief that the Abdallah<br />

and Sakr families have felt since<br />

the night that changed their lives on February<br />

1, 2020.<br />

The shock following the tragic crash that<br />

claimed the lives of Abdallah siblings Sienna,<br />

eight, Angelina, 12, and Antony, 13<br />

and their 11-year-old cousin Veronique<br />

quickly turned to a search for justice.<br />

Justice, if you can call it that, saw the<br />

drunk and drug affected driver that<br />

mowed down the children, Samuel Davidson,<br />

sentenced to at least 21 years in<br />

prison.<br />

This story rattled the entire country. It<br />

was easy for any parent to put themselves<br />

in that situation – an innocent summer<br />

walk for ice cream ending in the worst<br />

possible ‘wrong place at the wrong time’<br />

scenario.<br />

This story has taken a somewhat ugly<br />

turn in recent times as the families fight<br />

for the installation of a permanent memorial<br />

to the children lost that summer<br />

night almost two years ago outside Oatlands<br />

Golf Club.<br />

The club has rejected proposals for a<br />

memorial on the edge of its land, while at<br />

the same time pushing for a unit development<br />

at the site.<br />

I accept Oatlands Golf Club is showing a<br />

severe lack of compassion.<br />

But it is also within its rights to do so.<br />

If a tragedy such as this happened out<br />

the front of your place, you have no obligation<br />

to house a memorial and put future<br />

developments at risk.<br />

In all the punches being thrown at Oatlands<br />

Golf Club in recent weeks, it’s important<br />

to remember that the club is not<br />

responsible for this tragedy.<br />

Sure, the club may be cruel and heartless,<br />

but I’m not convinced getting the<br />

likes of Prime Minister Scott Morrison<br />

and Premier Dominic Perrottet involved<br />

is where we’re at here.<br />

To be honest, given the severe lack of<br />

compassion shown in this matter, if I<br />

were the family I’m not sure I’d want the<br />

memorial there now anyway.<br />

The community can offer its verdict on<br />

the behaviour of Oatlands Golf Club in<br />

many ways, including cancelling memberships<br />

and eating and drinking elsewhere.<br />

I’m not sure dragging them kicking and<br />

screaming to the table over the memorial<br />

is where we should be heading, nor am I<br />

convinced it’d feel like a win regardless.<br />

Let’s keep calm on virus variant<br />

I suspect two things when it comes to<br />

the Omicron variant of COVID-19.<br />

First, governments around the world<br />

don’t want to be accused of being slow<br />

to act, so as a result they’re being overly<br />

cautious in their response.<br />

Second, the media is getting very<br />

excited because it’s got some juicy news<br />

to report at an otherwise mundane time<br />

of the year full of stories about Christmas<br />

hams and postage delays.<br />

We need to take this seriously, of course,<br />

but let’s also keep our heads.<br />

A balanced approach is needed. Of<br />

course we need people to understand<br />

the variant is out there and potentially<br />

more dangerous, but the mental struggles<br />

many will face if talks of more border<br />

closures and lockdowns ramp up must<br />

also be considered.<br />

The challenge facing women’s sport<br />

Gender equality may be the dream,<br />

but in reality it is almost impossible to<br />

achieve – reality and circumstance will<br />

always play their part.<br />

You can manufacture it, of course.<br />

Quotas, procedures, policies... the list<br />

goes on.<br />

But the truth is the perfect set of<br />

circumstances will almost never align to<br />

offer true equality.<br />

This issue is one of serious discussion<br />

in sport at present around pay packets,<br />

particularly rugby league where the<br />

Queensland Rugby League recently<br />

committed to paying its female State of<br />

Origin players the same as male Maroons<br />

representatives.<br />

It puts pressure on the New South<br />

Wales Rugby League to follow suit with<br />

the Blues, and the NRL and its clubs will<br />

also likely face this issue with the NRLW<br />

competition as it continues to grow.<br />

The case for equal pay is that our female<br />

players are professional athletes often<br />

putting in the same time commitment as<br />

the men, if not more given they also have<br />

to juggle work commitments, given the<br />

NRLW runs for only a few weeks and is far<br />

from a full-time gig.<br />

The case against though is the reality,<br />

harsh as it may be, that the female game<br />

is not as popular as the men’s game.<br />

Maybe one day it will be, and certainly<br />

I’ve enjoyed the NRLW and Women’s<br />

State of Origin more and more each year,<br />

as the quality continues to improve.<br />

But the broadcast revenue, sponsorship<br />

dollars and ticketing income generated<br />

by the women’s game is a fraction of what<br />

the men’s game generates.<br />

I’ve always defended the high pay packets<br />

often earned by rugby league players<br />

because it is the players that deserve the<br />

biggest chunk of what the game generates<br />

in revenue, not people in suits and ties<br />

behind desks.<br />

But the players only deserve the income<br />

if the game is generating it above them.<br />

I couldn’t be happier that the women’s<br />

game is growing.<br />

But it took something like 80 years of<br />

rugby league for the men’s game to reach<br />

a point where we had full-time athletes<br />

being paid significant money.<br />

Nobody is suggesting the women should<br />

wait just as long, but we also shouldn’t<br />

put the cart before the horse.<br />

LORD<br />

MAYOR’S<br />

MESSAGE<br />

CR STEVEN<br />

ISSA<br />

City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta Council elections<br />

A reminder that local government elections will<br />

take place this Saturday, 4 December. I have<br />

made the decision not to stand for re-election<br />

so I will be watching on with interest and send<br />

my best wishes to all candidates.<br />

It has been an absolute honour to serve the City<br />

of <strong>Parra</strong>matta and represent the residents of<br />

Rosehill Ward. I was lucky enough to be elected<br />

to Council in 2012 and, since then, I’ve had the<br />

pleasure of being your Deputy Lord Mayor for<br />

two terms and, of course, most recently as your<br />

Lord Mayor. There have been many highlights<br />

during my time, but I am particularly proud to<br />

see the transformation of our City and launch of<br />

world-class projects such as <strong>Parra</strong>matta Square,<br />

the new aquatic leisure centre and arrival of<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta Light Rail and Metro West.<br />

My aim has always been for the City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

to be acknowledged for the wonderful place it<br />

is, so I look forward to seeing the City continue<br />

to grow and flourish.<br />

Municipality of <strong>Parra</strong>matta celebrates<br />

160 years<br />

plaque in <strong>Parra</strong>matta Square to commemorate<br />

the Proclamation of the Municipality of <strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />

The foundation plaque recognises 160 years since<br />

the first official local government was formed<br />

when Sir John Young, Governor of New South<br />

Wales, proclaimed the ‘Municipality of <strong>Parra</strong>matta’<br />

on 27 <strong>November</strong> 1861.<br />

The plaque will be laid at <strong>Parra</strong>matta’s newest<br />

civic, community and cultural building, <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

Hive (Phive), located adjacent to the historic<br />

Town Hall in <strong>Parra</strong>matta Square.<br />

Remembering H.M.A.S <strong>Parra</strong>matta (II)<br />

Wreaths to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the loss<br />

of H.M.A.S. <strong>Parra</strong>matta (II).<br />

On 27 <strong>November</strong> 1941, H.M.A.S. <strong>Parra</strong>matta (II)<br />

was sunk by a German submarine in the<br />

Mediterranean Sea near Tobruk. To mark the<br />

80th anniversary of this day, the Naval Association<br />

of Australia <strong>Parra</strong>matta Memorial (NAAPM)<br />

Sub Section recently hosted a memorial service<br />

to remember the 138 men of the H.M.A.S.<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta (II) who made a supreme sacrifice.<br />

If you would like to learn more about H.M.A.S<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta (II), there are online archives and<br />

local history stories available for you to explore.<br />

with disruption, and health<br />

and wellbeing. It was also an<br />

opportunity to network and<br />

connect with others in the City’s<br />

business community.<br />

NSW Small Business Commissioner Chris Lamont<br />

shared his observations on business recovery<br />

and what lies ahead for small business in 2022,<br />

while President of <strong>Parra</strong>matta Business Chamber<br />

of Commerce, Luke Magee chaired a panel<br />

discussion on recent business challenges and<br />

the road to recovery for small businesses.<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta Farmers Markets are back<br />

Last week saw the long-awaited return of<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta’s famous Farmers Markets to Centenary<br />

Square, with a mix of new stallholders and<br />

regular favourites bringing some mid-week buzz<br />

to the CBD.<br />

Traditionally held on a Friday, the Farmers<br />

Markets will be operating every Wednesday<br />

until 22 December between 7.<strong>30</strong>am and 2.<strong>30</strong>pm.<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta Farmers Markets regularly showcases<br />

a variety of seasonal produce from the Sydney<br />

basin and regional NSW including fresh fruits,<br />

vegetables, bread, honey, pastries, and flowers,<br />

as well as a selection of fresh and delicious<br />

street food – perfect for a quick bite.<br />

With the festive season approaching, there will<br />

also be plenty of unique gifts on offer from local<br />

businesses.<br />

We are lucky to have such wonderful markets<br />

on our doorstep, so I encourage everyone to visit<br />

and support our small businesses, local growers<br />

and food producers.<br />

PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - EPPING WARD<br />

Fresh blood certain in<br />

Epping Pool development, Town Centre and population debate set to be<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

The countdown is on until locals<br />

hit the polls for the <strong>2021</strong> Local<br />

Government Election.<br />

The election was postponed in September<br />

2020 and again in September <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

After a difficult two years due to the<br />

pandemic, this Local Government Election<br />

will be critical in shaping the way<br />

both <strong>Parra</strong>matta and Cumberland Cities<br />

move on from COVID-19’s struggles.<br />

This week <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong> will break down<br />

each of the City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta Council<br />

wards, the candidates who will throw<br />

their hat in the ring and the issues and<br />

policies they are taking to the election on<br />

December 4.<br />

The Council covers an estimated population<br />

of 260,296 and is dubbed ‘Sydney’s<br />

second city’. It is divided into five wards,<br />

each of which has three Councillors.<br />

Fresh blood is on the horizon for the<br />

Epping Ward, with only two of three<br />

incumbent Councillors to throw their hat<br />

in the ring. Bound to be hot topics are the<br />

Epping Pool development, Epping Town<br />

Centre, population strain on roads and<br />

Veteran Independent Councillor Lorraine<br />

Wearne.<br />

infrastructure, as well as greenspace and<br />

tree conservation.<br />

Veteran Independent Councillor<br />

Lorraine Wearne will recontest, with over<br />

25 years of service to the community under<br />

her belt. Cr Wearne served on the former<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta City Council from 1995-2016<br />

and for the current City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

Council since 2017.<br />

The self-funded independent has never<br />

been part of a political party, was the first<br />

female Lord Mayor of <strong>Parra</strong>matta City<br />

Council and has also served as Deputy.<br />

When asked what has kept her going all<br />

Former Liberal <strong>Parra</strong>matta Councillor<br />

Jean-Pierre (JP) Abood.<br />

these years, Cr Wearne told <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

there’s always unfinished business to<br />

make the community a better place.<br />

She is particularly passionate about<br />

unlocking open green space, increasing<br />

tree canopy, fixing infrastructure issues,<br />

maintaining the character of the area and<br />

attracting business into the town centre.<br />

“We need more communication<br />

between the different levels of government<br />

which must be addressed to tackle<br />

issues particularly around development<br />

and infrastructure debt due to population<br />

density,” she said.<br />

Sitting Labor Councillor Donna Davis.<br />

“We must also ensure we maintain a<br />

residential area, not everyone wants to live<br />

in a high rise apartment.”<br />

Second on the Lorraine Wearne<br />

Independents ticket is Ian McLeod, an<br />

Epping local and engineer with an interest<br />

in green space and traffic and third is<br />

Desmond Chung, a local accountant who<br />

is passionate about education and business<br />

opportunities.<br />

Sitting Labor Councillor Donna Davis<br />

will recontest, joined on her ticket by<br />

Cameron Maclean and Tony Lee.<br />

Cr Davis is focussing on appropriate<br />

battle for Epping Ward<br />

the key issues as seven candidates battle for three spots on new Council<br />

development, preservation of suburb<br />

character, protecting heritage and<br />

enhancing public space.<br />

“We need to ensure there is appropriate<br />

and sustainable development and really<br />

advocate for development to contain<br />

elements that support the rest of the<br />

community whether that be employment,<br />

retail or community space,” she said.<br />

“I have a strong track record of standing<br />

up with the community against inappropriate<br />

development. I also want to deliver<br />

more family-friendly community events<br />

across the whole of the ward.”<br />

Mr Maclean is an Epping local and<br />

university student with priorities<br />

surrounding Epping Pool delivery, as well<br />

as youth facilities and services and Mr<br />

Lee is a recently retired Senior Hospital<br />

Scientist and was a founding member of<br />

the Chinese Catholic Church of Sydney.<br />

Former Liberal <strong>Parra</strong>matta Councillor<br />

Jean-Pierre (JP) Abood will try for a comeback,<br />

now as an ungrouped independent.<br />

Mr Abood served on the former<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta City Council for four years<br />

when he was elected in 2012 to the then<br />

Lachlan Macquarie Ward.<br />

After his term, he did not recontest and<br />

was instead nominated for pre-selection<br />

for the Liberal’s 2016 Federal candidate,<br />

however was unsuccessful.<br />

Mr Abood said issues he is particularly<br />

interested in this time around are the<br />

delivery of Epping Pool, activation of<br />

Beecroft and improving traffic congestion.<br />

“The small things for me are a lot more<br />

important and that’s making sure the<br />

neighbourhoods are clean, families are<br />

looked after and residents have access to<br />

adequate services,” he said.<br />

Mr Abood is a home builder, former<br />

Director of Catholic Care Western Sydney<br />

and The Blue Mountains, former Chairman<br />

of the Maronite College of the Holy<br />

Family and volunteers in feeding the<br />

homeless. He is also still a registered<br />

member of the Liberal Party.<br />

Sitting Liberal Epping Ward Councillor<br />

Bill Tyrrell will not recontest and instead<br />

will throw his hat in the ring as an independent<br />

for Blacktown City Council.<br />

In the 2016 Local Government Election,<br />

the Liberal Party received 32.7 per cent<br />

of primary votes in the Epping Ward,<br />

Labor held 23.5 per cent, Lorraine Wearne<br />

Independents held 19.2 per cent and The<br />

Greens held 12 per cent.<br />

PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - PARRAMATTA WARD<br />

Talking points galore<br />

From the Powerhouse to light rail and debates over history, <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

Eleven candidates will fight for a<br />

seat at the table of the <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

Ward, the home of Sydney’s second<br />

city and the biggest projects in town.<br />

Voters will have plenty to think about<br />

come December 4; from the light rail and<br />

Powerhouse to population density and<br />

heritage conservation.<br />

Up for the challenge is sitting Labor<br />

Councillor Sameer Pandey, who will<br />

recontest, joined by <strong>Parra</strong>matta solicitor<br />

James Shaw and <strong>Parra</strong>matta Women’s<br />

Shelter Co-Chair Liz Scully.<br />

Cr Pandey said he is strongly advocating<br />

for improved parking, traffic and pedestrian<br />

safety, as well as cleaner streets,<br />

more open spaces and improved services.<br />

He is also passionate about supporting<br />

small businesses and creating strong<br />

financial management for the city.<br />

“I am keen to stand for the Labor agenda,<br />

which is to push for a smart, healthy,<br />

liveable, sustainable, progressive and<br />

inclusive city,” he said.<br />

“I think finding a balance between<br />

development and social and transport<br />

Labor candidate James Shaw, Councillor Sameer Pandey and candidate Liz Scully.<br />

infrastructure is very important.<br />

“I am keen to continue to work to make<br />

areas around schools safer, that child care<br />

remains council-owned and affordable<br />

and fight for more community spaces.”<br />

The sole sitting Greens Councillor, Phil<br />

Bradley, will also recontest, with running<br />

mates Annie Nielsen and Jacki Brown.<br />

Cr Bradley is passionate about green<br />

spaces, energy efficient buildings, heritage<br />

preservation and transparent governance.<br />

He said with <strong>Parra</strong>matta’s population<br />

Greens Councillor Phil Bradley.<br />

set to nearly double in the next 20 years,<br />

this council election will be “absolutely<br />

crucial” in deciding the city’s future.<br />

“<strong>Parra</strong>matta is at risk of turning into<br />

a city of shadows and wind tunnels,” he<br />

said.<br />

PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - PARRAMATTA WARD<br />

in hotly contested area<br />

Ward offers plenty to debate ahead of this Saturday’s Council election<br />

“Despite my objections, a majority of<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta Councillors have voted to<br />

allow buildings of up to 67 storeys high to<br />

be built over the next few years.<br />

“We need to have people on the Council<br />

who will ensure that new developments<br />

don’t destroy what we love about<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta and what makes it such a great<br />

place to live.<br />

“We need people who will protect the<br />

community’s interests, not just increase<br />

the profits of wealthy developers. The next<br />

few years will be absolutely crucial.”<br />

Our Local Community candidate Henry<br />

Green will also put his hand up, joined<br />

by running mates Alan Sexton and Jason<br />

Garrard.<br />

Mr Green is a retired businessman who<br />

lives in the South <strong>Parra</strong>matta heritage<br />

precinct.<br />

He is passionate about maintaining and<br />

preserving heritage and improving infrastructure.<br />

“I want to try and bring back a little bit<br />

of common sense to the Council,” he said.<br />

“I live in a heritage conservation area<br />

and I have been fighting for heritage preservation<br />

for many years.<br />

“I am also interested in improving footpaths,<br />

particularly around Toongabbie.”<br />

The Liberal Democrats will make their<br />

only City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta appearance in the<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta Ward, with Constitution Hill<br />

residents Charles and Hugo Rios throwing<br />

their hats in the ring.<br />

Sitting Liberal Councillor Martin Zaiter<br />

will not recontest as an independent.<br />

2017 election results in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

Ward saw the Liberal Party take out 32.1<br />

per cent of votes, Labor held <strong>30</strong> per cent,<br />

The Greens held 13.13, and OLC 9.3 per<br />

cent.<br />

With the absence of the Liberal brand,<br />

conservative ratepayers will be looking<br />

elsewhere to place their vote, providing<br />

a unique opportunity for conservative<br />

independents like the OLC to increase<br />

representation in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta Ward.<br />

PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - DUNDAS WARD<br />

The Dundas Dozen:<br />

Labor, Our Local Community and Independent candidates fight it out as<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

It’s a busy ballot paper for the Dundas<br />

Ward, as 12 candidates battle it out for<br />

a winning spot.<br />

The Telopea Master Plan will undoubtedly<br />

be a hot topic as locals hit the polls<br />

this weekend, as well as traffic concerns<br />

and lacking amenities.<br />

Four-time City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta Deputy<br />

Lord Mayor, Michelle Garrard will recontest<br />

as the lead candidate on the Our Local<br />

Community (OLC) ticket.<br />

Cr Garrard was elected Deputy Lord<br />

Mayor in 2017 and has held on to the position<br />

ever since.<br />

She has a keen interest in service delivery<br />

and efficiency, whilst bringing local<br />

government closer to the community.<br />

She is also passionate about improving<br />

traffic, pedestrian and safety issues and<br />

maintaining local heritage.<br />

“I’m really focussing on infrastructure<br />

delivery, I think the Dundas Ward particularly<br />

with the State Government’s Telopea<br />

Master Plan coming to commencement<br />

time, we really need to start focussing on<br />

the infrastructure deficiency, lobby the<br />

State Government and pick up the shortfall,”<br />

she said.<br />

“I also want to ensure Dundas Ward gets<br />

its fair share of the Better Neighbourhood<br />

program funding to upgrade our local<br />

centres.”<br />

Second on the OLC ticket is Wayne<br />

Butcher, followed by (Kevin) Xiaohua Wu.<br />

Sitting Labor Councillor Pierre Esber will<br />

recontest with running mates Anthony<br />

Ellard and Sam Daher.<br />

Cr Esber was first elected in 1999 to the<br />

former <strong>Parra</strong>matta City Council.<br />

He said he will be focusing on climate<br />

change and tree planting, advocating for<br />

the delivery of parks and amenities, and<br />

following through with the Heart of Play<br />

Master Plan.<br />

“It’s time for the focus to be on the<br />

suburbs of <strong>Parra</strong>matta, not just the CBD,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I also want to bring complying development<br />

back to the Council and stop everything<br />

going through private certifiers.<br />

“Another policy I have for the whole<br />

LGA is to drive for a popularly elected<br />

Lord Mayor; it’s time for the people of<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta to have their say.”<br />

Conservative independent Lee Malkoun<br />

Independent candidate Kellie Darley.<br />

will also throw his hat in the ring, with<br />

running mates Filena Lovisa and Souzie<br />

Wehbe.<br />

Mr Malkoun is a local high school<br />

teacher, is heavily involved in church and<br />

charity work and previously ran in 2016 for<br />

the Dundas Ward.<br />

He said tackling the issue of boarding<br />

houses, decluttering the streets, improving<br />

sporting facilities and improving<br />

Independent candidate Lee Malkoun.<br />

footpaths will be at the forefront of his<br />

campaign.<br />

“I am very passionate about small business<br />

and the recovery needed for not only<br />

our ward but the whole city,” he said.<br />

“I am also leading the charge with a<br />

group of locals against the Oatlands Golf<br />

Club development.”<br />

A fresh face on the campaign trail is<br />

founder of <strong>Parra</strong> Parents and organiser of<br />

Rooty Hill Village.<br />

Put more life in your retirement.<br />

After being encouraged by their family to live closer,<br />

Raymond & Madouce made the move to Rooty Hill<br />

Village to have more people around them. They felt<br />

right at home with the vibrant social life and have since<br />

formed many friendships. As Raymond says,<br />

“I can’t explain it. It’s just like home.<br />

It’s a happy place”.<br />

PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - DUNDAS WARD<br />

Long list of candidates<br />

passionate issues dominate the talking points ahead of going to the polls<br />

local litter clean ups, Kellie Darley,<br />

who will lead a group of independents.<br />

With a passion for community, environment<br />

and all-things parenthood,<br />

Ms Darley said she would bring a fresh<br />

perspective to the politically-charged<br />

City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta Council chamber.<br />

She has a strong focus for making<br />

the community beautiful, safer and<br />

cooler in summer, and if elected, will<br />

advocate for the delivery of a local<br />

community centre and improved<br />

infrastructure.<br />

“As a resident I have seen a lack<br />

of action, particularly in the outer<br />

suburbs, we know a lot happens in the<br />

CBD, but we need to better represent<br />

our outer communities,” she said.<br />

“I want to be a voice for the community<br />

and provide better representation<br />

for families and women.”<br />

Sitting Liberal Councillor Benjamin<br />

Barrak will not recontest as an independent.<br />

At the last election the Liberal Party<br />

had the strongest hold on votes at 35<br />

per cent, followed by Labor at 31.6 per<br />

cent.<br />

OLC held 15.6 per cent.<br />

rail in Wentworth point,” she said.<br />

Sitting Councillor and former Lord<br />

focus on the everyday issues and we have<br />

tailored our campaign to the individual<br />

needs of each area,” he said.<br />

Melrose Park into Wentworth Point and<br />

I will continue to call for the delivery of<br />

bridges and underpasses for a more walkable<br />

city.”<br />

Second on his ticket is James Laurence,<br />

PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - NORTH ROCKS WARD<br />

No current Councillors<br />

Fresh blood assured but it’s a tight race with 11 newcomers fighting it out<br />

NICOLA BARTON<br />

A<br />

huge shake-up is on the horizon<br />

for the North Rocks Ward, with no<br />

incumbent Councillors running<br />

as lead candidates.<br />

Sitting Liberal Councillor and former<br />

Lord Mayor Bob Dwyer will run as number<br />

two on a conservative independent ticket<br />

and Liberal Councillor Andrew Jefferies<br />

will not recontest.<br />

The third spot on the North Rocks Ward<br />

has remained vacant since the passing of<br />

Labor Councillor, Paul Han.<br />

As a traditionally conservative ward it<br />

is likely the Our Local Community Party<br />

(OLC) and independents, who are registered<br />

members of the Liberal Party, will be<br />

favoured in the polls.<br />

Georgina Valjak will lead the ticket of<br />

conservative Independents, followed by<br />

Cr Dwyer and Rob Mashford.<br />

Ms Valjak is a Winston Hills resident<br />

of over 20 years and was a member of its<br />

Residents Action Group.<br />

She said she will be focusing on local<br />

issues and putting the community first.<br />

“We are running because Liberal<br />

Labor candidate Ange Humphries.<br />

members on the City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta Council<br />

have a proven track record in providing<br />

well maintained public amenities,<br />

family-friendly facilities, convenient and<br />

comprehensive local services and a safe<br />

environment for families” she said.<br />

“The refurbishment of our local shopping<br />

hubs such as Chisholm Centre in Winston<br />

Hills and Carmen Drive in North Rocks<br />

and our local parks were so important to<br />

our community during lockdowns.”<br />

The group aims to be a Liberal voice<br />

Independent candidate Georgina Valjak.<br />

for the North Rocks Ward after the party<br />

chose not to field candidates in the City of<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />

Another more conservative option for<br />

voters, without the major party membership<br />

is OLC candidate Donna Wang.<br />

Ms Wang previously ran in the Epping<br />

Ward for OLC in 2017.<br />

The mother of two has experience in<br />

aged care and community services, and is<br />

passionate about accessibility, improving<br />

pedestrian safety and local infrastructure.<br />

OLC candidate Donna Wang.<br />

“There hasn’t been independent representation<br />

in the North Rocks Ward and<br />

it’s important that residents’ concerns are<br />

heard,” she said.<br />

Second on the OLC ticket is daughter<br />

of Deputy Lord Mayor Michelle Garrard,<br />

Kiara Garrard-Williams and John Hugh.<br />

Labor’s new lead candidate Ange<br />

Humphries will put her hand up, joined<br />

by running mates Alan Mascarenhas and<br />

Nick Nikolaidis.<br />

Ms Humphries is a working mum, North<br />

Police were notified and officers from<br />

the Police Transport and Public Safety<br />

Command North West Sector and<br />

Proactive Crime Team attended and<br />

He was charged with ‘use offensive<br />

weapon in company with intent (indictable)’<br />

and ‘affray’.<br />

He is next due to appear at <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

over gel blaster purchases<br />

A man has appeared in court after<br />

with bookings now open to<br />

locals.<br />

The centre, which generally hosts<br />

sports and community events, has been<br />

repurposed to deliver COVID-19 vaccinations<br />

to the western Sydney community<br />

following the recent closure of the<br />

Qudos Bank Arena Vaccination Centre,<br />

space to provide increased vaccination<br />

POLICE SNAPSHOT<br />

Compiled by Nicola Barton<br />

LOCAL NEWS<br />

Earlier this month, detectives from<br />

Cumberland Police Area Command<br />

commenced an investigation into the<br />

supply of replica firearms, parts and gelblasters<br />

in the Cumberland area.<br />

Following extensive investigations,<br />

detectives, with assistance from South<br />

West Metropolitan Operations Support<br />

Group, executed a search warrant at a<br />

unit on Station Street, Guildford, about<br />

7.45am on Wednesday, <strong>November</strong> 17.<br />

During the search, detectives allegedly<br />

seized a number of items, including 53<br />

gel-blasters, replica firearm parts, and<br />

electronic devices.<br />

The items seized will undergo further<br />

forensic examination.<br />

An 18-year-old man was arrested at<br />

the home and taken to Granville Police<br />

Station.<br />

He was charged with ‘unauthorised<br />

possession of firearms in aggravated<br />

circumstances’, ‘possess unauthorised<br />

prohibited firearm’, and ‘possess unauthorised<br />

firearm’.<br />

The man was refused bail and is due<br />

to appear at <strong>Parra</strong>matta Local Court on<br />

Thursday, <strong>November</strong> 18.<br />

Firearms Registry Commander, Superintendent<br />

Cameron Lindsay, said it is an<br />

offence to buy a gel blaster from a wholesaler,<br />

retailer or an individual seller from<br />

another state and have it sent into NSW.<br />

“Despite the fact that gel blasters are<br />

prohibited in NSW, we continue to see<br />

them being bought, sold and used across<br />

the state,” he said.<br />

“At the moment, we are working closely<br />

with Queensland Police, where the laws<br />

differ from ours, to stop gel blasters from<br />

entering NSW.<br />

“I want to remind the people of NSW<br />

that the penalties are high for possessing<br />

one of these items and, as we have seen<br />

with this arrest, you could face serious<br />

charges.”<br />

Inquiries are continuing.<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta needs the<br />

real NBN<br />

Reliable, quality, high speed internet is not a luxury or<br />

a nice-to-have — it’s essential 21st century economic<br />

infrastructure.<br />

But some people in <strong>Parra</strong>matta are struggling with slow<br />

internet because they’ve been connected to the NBN with<br />

old copper phone line technology.<br />

Parts of <strong>Parra</strong>matta including the CBD are still waiting to<br />

connect to the NBN at any speed, despite being promised<br />

the NBN by 2016.<br />

That’s why Labor has committed to invest $2.4 billion<br />

to give 1.5 million households and businesses relying on<br />

copper lines the option to connect to the NBN with fibre.<br />

Our plan will run fibre into the street and give Australians<br />

who rely on copper wire connections the choice of having<br />

fibre connected into their home, if they want faster speeds<br />

than their copper NBN can deliver.<br />

Nationally, nearly 7 in 8 premises in the Fibre to the Node<br />

footprint will have fibre access under Labor’s plan.<br />

The <strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD is still waiting for NBN & many locals are struggling<br />

with slow internet because they’re connected to the NBN with copper.<br />

This means residents and businesses in parts<br />

No action on Federal ICAC<br />

Back in 2018, under intense pressure from Labor, the Morrison Government promised to establish a national anticorruption<br />

commission.<br />

More than 1,000 days have passed and all they’ve done is release an “exposure draft” for a Bill – that is, a proposal. The<br />

draft Bill has been panned by experts including the Centre for Public Integrity, which said it would create “the weakest<br />

watchdog in the country.”<br />

Anti-corruption commissions with the power to hold MPs, public officials and agencies to account already exist in every<br />

state and territory and the ever-growing list of scandals shows why we need one at the federal level. Labor will introduce<br />

a strong, independent anti-corruption commission which will have all the powers of a standing Royal Commission and be<br />

able to investigate serious and systemic corruption in the federal government.<br />

Saturday is Council Election Day!<br />

The Council election is this Saturday 4 December. These elections only come round once every four years so<br />

it’s really important to make sure your vote is counted and your voice is heard.<br />

If you don’t think you’ll be able to make it to a polling place on election day, you can visit an early voting centre from<br />

9:00am to 5:00pm every day from now until Saturday. You may also be eligible to vote online. If you are, you have until<br />

1:00pm on election day to register for ‘iVote’.<br />

And most importantly - make sure you fill out your ballot papers correctly. The rules are slightly<br />

different for federal, state and council elections. You can find information about how to fill out<br />

you ballot papers online, or you can ask election staff for information at any polling place.<br />

AQUARIUS<br />

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19<br />

Do you know where you’re heading?<br />

With the Solar Eclipse stimulating your<br />

hopes and wishes zone, you need to<br />

have a long, hard think about creative<br />

adjustments that could improve your<br />

life in 2022. Have the courage to listen<br />

to your intuition and follow your big<br />

dreams. Saturn encourages you to set<br />

goals, make plans and pay close attention<br />

to details. As writer (and Sagittarian<br />

birthday great) Mark Twain reminds us,<br />

“The secret of getting ahead is getting<br />

started.”<br />

PISCES<br />

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20<br />

Don’t procrastinate Pisces! The Solar<br />

Eclipse ignites your ambition and<br />

the Mars/Neptune trine stirs your restless<br />

wanderlust. So it’s time to expand<br />

your mind, spread your wings and plan<br />

an adventurous trip. Be inspired by<br />

this week’s birthday great, writer Mark<br />

Twain. “Twenty years from now you will<br />

be more disappointed by the things you<br />

didn’t do than by the ones you did …<br />

Sail away from the safe harbour, catch<br />

the trade winds in your sails. Explore.<br />

Dream. Discover.”<br />

ARIES<br />

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20<br />

The Solar Eclipse encourages you to<br />

make decisions about your hopes and<br />

dreams for the future. The more ambitious<br />

your aspirations, the better! You’ll<br />

shun superficial encounters with others,<br />

preferring philosophical conversations<br />

with family, friends and colleagues. As<br />

Louisa May Alcott (this week’s birthday<br />

great) wrote, “We all have our own life<br />

to pursue, our own kind of dream to be<br />

weaving, and we all have the power to<br />

make wishes come true, as long as we<br />

keep believing.”<br />

TAURUS<br />

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21<br />

This week Mercury and the Solar<br />

Eclipse shine a bright spotlight on personal<br />

and shared finances, plus power<br />

and trust issues. You are pragmatic and<br />

have a good business brain – just make<br />

sure you’re using it! Ignorance is no excuse.<br />

Do all you can to improve your<br />

financial literacy ASAP. The Mars/Neptune<br />

trine is good news for a romantic<br />

relationship, a group project or helping<br />

a charitable cause. You’ll find creativity,<br />

compassion and kindness will take you<br />

far.<br />

Prepare for a relationship renaissance<br />

as Mercury (your power planet) and the<br />

Solar Eclipse kick-start your love life. Attached<br />

Twins will shift into an important<br />

new phase of an established partnership,<br />

while some singles will go on a first<br />

date. With Saturn and Jupiter jumping<br />

through your travel and learning zone,<br />

2022 looks promising for a local, interstate<br />

or overseas trip. Somewhere adventurous,<br />

exciting and COVID-safe.<br />

A fresh education cycle is also on the<br />

cards.<br />

With Saturn and the Solar Eclipse activating<br />

your wellbeing zone, it’s time<br />

to improve your diet and get your body<br />

moving via a gym membership, a new<br />

exercise program or a vigorous workout<br />

in the great outdoors. A disciplined daily<br />

routine is the key to improved health<br />

outcomes. Having fun with a four-legged<br />

friend is also favoured. Your motto is<br />

from writer Mark Twain (who was born<br />

on <strong>November</strong> <strong>30</strong>, 1835), “The human<br />

race has one really effective weapon and<br />

that is laughter.”<br />

The Solar Eclipse encourages you to tap<br />

into your inner muse and be the creative<br />

Cat you were born to be. As Madonna (a<br />

fellow Lion) sings, it’s time to “Express<br />

Yourself”. But don’t let imaginative daydreams<br />

turn into escapist delusions (especially<br />

on Monday and Tuesday). Do<br />

your best to separate fact from fiction,<br />

in your personal and professional lives.<br />

Cast off the misguided misconceptions<br />

of others, express the authentic you, and<br />

shine your Leo light for all to see... nice<br />

and bright!<br />

A close relationship could end up in<br />

a confusing mess if you misread each<br />

other’s words, actions and motives.<br />

So avoid jumping to conclusions and<br />

(when in doubt) don’t hesitate to ask for<br />

clarification. On Tuesday, your ruling<br />

planet Mercury connects with conscientious<br />

Saturn, so make it a priority to listen<br />

carefully, fine-tune details and complete<br />

practical projects. Saturday’s Solar<br />

Eclipse is all about re-connecting with<br />

family members and enjoying home<br />

sweet home.<br />

Saturday’s Solar Eclipse signals a fresh<br />

start involving a neighbour or a family<br />

member. Mercury and Venus also encourage<br />

you to hold out the olive branch<br />

of peace as you crank up your diplomatic<br />

skills, sympathise and compromise.<br />

Creative communication and smart<br />

negotiation are the secrets to smooth<br />

partnerships, as you take the time to talk<br />

things through. You could also make<br />

plans to study, teach, travel or undertake<br />

community service in the coming year.<br />

Mercury and the Solar Eclipse are<br />

moving through your money and selfesteem<br />

zone. So they encourage you to<br />

take a good long look at your bank balance,<br />

basic values, life philosophy and<br />

future aspirations. And how much do<br />

you truly value your authentic self, Scorpio?<br />

Remember, there is just no substitute<br />

for healthy core self-esteem. Your<br />

mantra for the week is from entertainer<br />

Bette Midler, “Cherish forever what<br />

makes you unique.”<br />

This week you’re ready to sparkle and<br />

shine, flirt and have fun, as Mercury and<br />

the Solar Eclipse light up your sign! With<br />

Saturn and Jupiter in your education and<br />

communication zone, you could find<br />

yourself studying, teaching, publishing<br />

or podcasting over the next few weeks.<br />

Your online presence could also take off,<br />

as Jupiter (your patron planet) boosts<br />

your social media profile. So make sure<br />

you have plenty of topical and interesting<br />

things to say.<br />

The planets send a media or educational<br />

opportunity your way but don’t sit<br />

on the sidelines and limit yourself Capricorn!<br />

And don’t let negative self-talk<br />

stymie your upward trajectory. You are<br />

far better at what you do than you think<br />

you are. This week the Sun and Saturn<br />

push you to shine like the inspiring professional<br />

you were born to be. So your<br />

motto for the moment is from writer C. S.<br />

Lewis (who was born on <strong>November</strong> 29,<br />

1898), “We are what we believe we are.”<br />

WITH NATHAN TODD<br />

WESTERN SYDNEY BUSINESS CENTRE • 4721 5011<br />

Heading into the Cosmic Cave:<br />

How we helped growing business<br />

For this week’s column we will be<br />

interviewing Emma who is the<br />

owner of Cosmic Cave. Emma<br />

started this business with a passion for<br />

home fragrance, crystals and spirituality.<br />

She does everything from planning,<br />

testing, making, packing and shipping<br />

so nothing but hard work and dedication<br />

goes into every single step of the<br />

process!<br />

Everything you see is lovingly handmade<br />

by her with only the best of<br />

intentions or carefully sourced with<br />

love and care. Only the highest quality<br />

ingredients go into making her candles<br />

and other items.<br />

Who is your advisor?<br />

Nathan and Katina.<br />

How long have you been receiving<br />

business advice from the WSBC?<br />

Around three weeks.<br />

What was the main struggle you identified<br />

within your business?<br />

Definitely the social media/advertising<br />

side of things. Growing an organic audience<br />

and getting your name out there<br />

was much harder than I anticipated!<br />

What were things you implemented<br />

that had a big impact on your business<br />

moving forward?<br />

Hashtags were a huge thing that, I feel,<br />

made a big difference! Also, joining various<br />

Facebook groups and marketplace<br />

have helped!<br />

What advice would you give to other<br />

small businesses in the same situation?<br />

Spend time researching your competitors.<br />

See what works for them and what<br />

you think could work for you. Ask your<br />

customers and followers what they<br />

want and if you’re stuck, contact WSBC<br />

because they are extremely helpful!<br />

What are your business goals for the<br />

future?<br />

My goals for the future are to become<br />

a recognisable brand, to increase my<br />

product range and to grow my following!<br />

HEART<br />

EMILY FESZCZUK<br />

Australian folk, rock and<br />

blues singer/songwriter<br />

Kim Churchill will make<br />

his way to the Blue Mountains<br />

next month for an<br />

intimate show at the Baroque Room at<br />

the Carrington Hotel.<br />

A night of storytelling and reflection,<br />

Kim will be launching the final EP,<br />

‘Again’, off his four-part EP collection;<br />

‘I Am Forgetting The End Again’.<br />

Spending most of his time living and<br />

touring out of his camper van, Kim<br />

wanted to document his experiences<br />

travelling the country and overseas.<br />

“The places I travel sort of morph<br />

who I am, so I wanted to record each<br />

one in a different part of the world to<br />

allow different reflections and create<br />

colour and vibrancy through music<br />

on the basis of my experiences,” Kim<br />

said.<br />

“The first was recorded in Berlin, the<br />

second Canada, the third in the Blue<br />

Mountains and the fourth in Devon in<br />

the UK, so in a way they are travel logs<br />

and a beautiful expression of how I felt<br />

and the people I met in those places.”<br />

With the process of each EP varying,<br />

Kim said he was worried about the<br />

project as a whole but said his core<br />

sound runs throughout.<br />

“I was concerned the sound would<br />

be so drastically different across the<br />

EPs and thought it would be hard to<br />

make it a coherent body of work but<br />

you know I am so deeply involved in<br />

what I am doing realistically when it<br />

was all said and done it was all me,”<br />

he said.<br />

“The producers all attacked things<br />

from different angles as well but as a<br />

full body of work it is a nice journey<br />

through the sounds and feelings that<br />

really reflect the vibe and energy of<br />

each place.”<br />

Last performing in Katoomba in<br />

March 2020, he said a special guest<br />

will join him for the upcoming performance.<br />

“This gig will be really beautiful<br />

because my cellist Joshua Luke Rea<br />

will be there, so it is an exciting style<br />

of show and he adds to my one man<br />

band,” he said.<br />

Kim said playing in the Blue Mountains<br />

is a special experience.<br />

“I get so excited to play shows in the<br />

Blue Mountains because the audience<br />

in that whole surrounding area has<br />

such a beautiful respect and passion<br />

for live music,” he said.<br />

Kim Churchill will be at Baroque<br />

Room in Katoomba on Sunday, December<br />

5 at 3pm and 7pm. Tickets<br />

are from $<strong>30</strong>. To book, visit events.<br />

The Little Prince invites Australians on an extraordinary adventure this Sydney Summer<br />

It’s the season of friends, family, community, and<br />

good cheer and to make it even better the cosmic<br />

and fantastic world of The Little Prince is making<br />

a grand return to Sydney, direct from Paris, after<br />

sell-out seasons in France, Dubai, and the Sydney<br />

Opera House earlier this year.<br />

The poignant story has charmed both kids and<br />

adults for over 80 years and remains one of the<br />

best-selling books ever published selling a<br />

stunning 200 million copies in 250 languages to<br />

become the second most translated book in<br />

modern history.<br />

An adaptation of the classic French novella which<br />

follows the story of a young boy who comes from<br />

a small planet but dreams of seeing the world,<br />

The Little Prince has struck a chord with many<br />

around the world. Now, it comes to life as an<br />

innovative theatre spectacular live on stage; a<br />

vivid universe filled with dance, music, acrobatics,<br />

and ground-breaking video mapping technology<br />

to replicate a magical world.<br />

As the first major international touring cast to<br />

come to Australia since the industry was shut<br />

down by the global pandemic, The Little Prince is<br />

a classic and compelling tale loved by generations,<br />

capturing hearts and challenging imaginations.<br />

A major coup for Western Sydney and its<br />

surrounds, The Little Prince will be gracing the<br />

stage of the Sydney Coliseum Theatre, West HQ,<br />

launching the theatre’s 2022 season which already<br />

features performances by Belinda Carlisle, Kasey<br />

Chambers and Busby Marou, Kate Miller-Heidke,<br />

Ross Nobel, Postmodern Jukebox, and Bill Bailey<br />

amongst others.<br />

West HQ believes the west is resilient, and as it<br />

rebounds from the harsh pandemic lockdown,<br />

hopes the production will give people something<br />

to look forward to after many months in social<br />

isolation; from the young to older generations, it is<br />

a show for everyone and a great way to experience<br />

live theatre for the first time, providing Western<br />

Sydney, and beyond, an international theatre<br />

experience.<br />

A huge drawcard for the region, The Little Prince<br />

is the perfect reason to get out and enjoy the<br />

thriving arts and culture scene on offer in Western<br />

Sydney.<br />

The Little Prince season runs from 1 January to 23<br />

January 2022 for a strictly limited 3-week season.<br />

Tickets now available at sydneycoliseum.com.au<br />

West HQ. One Destination. Countless Experiences.<br />

Welcome home.<br />

West HQ is Sydney’s leading hospitality and<br />

entertainment destination in Western Sydney,<br />

situated on an 8-hectare estate and located on<br />

the apex of the M4 and M7. A thriving precinct of<br />

separating the Harris family between two<br />

worlds. I’m yet to dive into this one but<br />

plan to over summer.<br />

REVIEW<br />

Halloween Kills<br />

<br />

1 hour, 45 minutes<br />

The pinnacle of horror movies has<br />

always been John Carpenter’s masterpiece<br />

‘Halloween’. Since the original<br />

scared the life out of cinemagoers in<br />

1978, there’s been numerous ‘Halloween’<br />

sequels (nine in fact) – some good,<br />

some downright awful.<br />

When the franchise was revived in<br />

2018, fans were told to forget all previous<br />

‘Halloween’ movies released after<br />

the 1978 original, which starred then<br />

newcomer Jamie Lee Curtis.<br />

Pretend ‘Halloween II’, ‘III’, ‘IV’, ‘V’, ‘VI’,<br />

‘H20’ and so on, didn’t happen. The new<br />

order would now be: ‘Halloween’ (1978),<br />

‘Halloween’ (2018), <strong>2021</strong>’s ‘Halloween<br />

Kills’ and next year’s final instalment<br />

‘Halloween Ends’. Are you keeping up?<br />

Having got reacquainted with the<br />

entire franchise in recent weeks, I made<br />

my triumphant return to the cinema for<br />

‘Halloween Kills’. The movie takes place<br />

immediately after 2018’s ‘Halloween’,<br />

which saw Jamie Lee Curtis reprise her<br />

breakout role as Laurie Strode.<br />

I have to stress: if you haven’t seen<br />

‘Halloween’ (2018) and of course the<br />

original in 1978, ‘Halloween Kills’ will<br />

be no good to you – unless of course you<br />

just want some alone time in the dark<br />

with your partner.<br />

‘Halloween Kills’ continues the saga<br />

between unstoppable killer Michael<br />

Myers and Laurie Strode.<br />

Injured and taken to hospital after her<br />

plot to kill Myers in a house fire failed,<br />

Laurie fights through the pain as she<br />

inspires residents of Haddonfield to rise<br />

up against ‘The Shape’.<br />

Taking matters into their own hands,<br />

the Strode women and other survivors<br />

form a vigilante mob to hunt down<br />

Myers and end his reign of terror once<br />

and for all. Now you know the plot, I<br />

must say this was a solid 105 minutes<br />

of edge-of-your-seat action. No, it won’t<br />

win an Oscar, but I think it continues the<br />

story well and takes it to new heights.<br />

I particularly enjoyed seeing some old<br />

characters back in the fold, a couple even<br />

featuring the original actors.<br />

– Nathan Taylor<br />

bigger, with four local residents<br />

named as finalists for the prestigious<br />

Sport NSW Chairperson Carolyn<br />

finalists on their nominations.<br />

because of the COVID-19 pandemic<br />

over the past two years, the <strong>2021</strong> NSW<br />

Sport Awards finalists have provided a<br />

bright ray of sunshine lifting spirits and<br />

providing instances of inspiration and<br />

motivation,” she said.<br />

“The finalists uphold NSW’s wellearned<br />

reputation as Australia’s premier<br />

sports state. They join a magnificent<br />

assembly of athletes, coaches, administrators<br />

and organisations who have<br />

been considered as finalists in the most<br />

prestigious sports awards NSW offers.”<br />
