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 />

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 />

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 />

given its diverse collection of suburbs<br />
and the individual needs of which each<br />
possesses.<br />

delivery of Peninsula Park and for the light<br />
rail in Wentworth point,” she said.<br />
Sitting Councillor and former Lord<br />
Mayor Andrew Wilson will also recontest,<br />

infrastructure, traffic, lack of parking and<br />
supporting small business.<br />

focus on the everyday issues and we have<br />
tailored our campaign to the individual<br />
needs of each area,” he said.<br />
“I am campaigning for a bridge from<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 />
followed by Christine Rigby.<br />
A fresh face on the Local Government<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 />

new mass vaccination hub has<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 />
which stopped vaccine operations on<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 />

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 />

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 />

entertainment destination in Western Sydney,<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 />
NSW Sport Awards.<br />
Attended by the elite of NSW sport,<br />
next year’s Awards gala dinner,<br />
which will be held in <strong>Parra</strong>matta, will<br />

Sport NSW Chairperson Carolyn<br />

finalists on their nominations.<br />
“With sport being severely disrupted<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 />
