Cat of theWeek
Kitten is named in honour of
the brave Ukrainian struggle
This week’s Cat Of The Week has been
named after Ukraine’s capital city.
“Our kitten Kyiv has named in honor of the Ukrainian
people who are putting up such a brave fight for their
lives in Kyiv,” Jonine from Gladesville’s World League
for Protection of Animals Adoption Centre said.
“Amazing little Kyiv is likewise putting up a very tenacious
fight for life after he was dumped in a small
air tight container at the bottom of our donation bin
last week.
“After being found he has been lovingly fed with
syringes of formula around the clock but at only one
week of age this tiny kitten is so helpless and venerable.
“He is an enthusiastic feeder who sleeps a lot but
he does try to stumble around and explore at feeding
time.”
Little Kyiv needs a loving owner who can take on his
brave struggle with him.
“His chances of survival are not great but be assured
we are doing all we can for this little hero and we assure
readers Kyiv will not be killed.”
Anyone who can help little Kyiv in any way is urged
to phone Jonine on 0409 741 414.
“In spite of numerous appeals for essential information
about Kyiv, the coward who dumped him has
shamefully not helped and we not been able to find
a suitable lactating mother cat to help nourish him.”
For around the clock updates on Kyiv’s progress
please visit: https://www.facebook.com/wlpaaustralia
The World League is located on the corner of Cowell
Street and Victoria Road.

Fr MARTIN’S MUSINGS
God at the top of our list
A priest friend of mine
recently shared with me
this insightful story when
he visited a lady in her
home, she said;
“I know it’s important
to keep God’s word but I
really don’t need to go to
church to do that.”
My friend without hesitation
replied;
“I wish that I could
be that strong in doing
God’s will without needing
to go to church.”
This was not the response
that this lady
was expecting to hear
and she quickly changed
the subject to her family.
It is interesting in life as
to how many people (me
included) have a written
list for the things that we

Six lucky TWT readers have won Reserve
A double passes to next month’s
magnificent Shen Yun - described by
Sydney audiences as The Perfect Family
Experience - on stage at the Sydney
Lyric from April 6 to April 17.
“Don’t miss the chance to be inspired by art
that connects heaven and earth—full of beauty,
humour, drama and wisdom,” the team at Shen
Yun said.
“Experience the world-renowned Shen Yun
performing arts show of tradition Chinese culture
spanning five thousand years of civilisation

are to do each day.
For example, what
type of groceries we will
buy, making an appointment
for a medical procedure
or remembering
to contact someone on
their birthday.
Yet I often wonder how
many people have on
the top of their list each
day to give God time
in personal prayer and
communal prayer each
week at their church.
The important point
to remember is that if
we have God at the top
of our list how often the
other routine things in
our list will happen so
much better.
Jesus of Nazareth had
something to say about
the importance of making
time with God in
these words;
“Watch and pray that
you will not fall into
temptation as the spirit
is willing but the flesh is
weak.” ( Matthew Chapter
26 verse 41).

From worms to possums, discover
the hidden world of Eden Gardens
Eden Gardens in Macquarie Park
is hosting a Sustainability Festival
on Sunday, April 3 with a special
focus on activities for children.
The Festival aims to teach children to learn
about and appreciate the benefits of sustainability
as well as cultivating a love of plants
and gardens.
Exhibitions Curator Meredith Kirton invited
families to come along and explore the hidden
world of gardens.
“At Eden Gardens we have always encouraged
children to come and play in our spaces,”
she said.
“We have a play area in a wonderful garden
that even houses a giant beehive.
“We also have a great kids sculpture trail as
part of Eden Unearthed: art in the gardens,
with challenging questions around many
works that promote thought and questioning.”
She said there will be different and fun activities
all day during the Festival.
“First up, get your hands dirty and learn
about worms and composting organic matter,
then come along for a coffee with the
kids at 9:30am and we will show you how
to transform those coffee grounds and tea
leaves into compost, thanks to worms.
“Each child can take home a mini milk bottle
worm farm to watch and continue to learn
from these amazing critters at home too.

JB asks: Remember Jack Lang?
Who remembers the Premier of NSW John Thomas Lang, known in his day as “The Big
Fella” who officially opened the Sydney Harbour Bridge March 19, 1932?
Jack Lang was a political giant in his time and
served as Colonial treasurer 1920 -1922 and Premier
and Colonial Treasurer 1925-1927 and 1930-1932.
He served during the turbulent times of the Great
Depression and was dramatically dismissed by the
Governor Philip Game for refusing to pay English
bondholders and raiding the banks to support workers..
He introduced the world’s first workers compensation
laws and founded the Government Insurance
Office GIO to finance it.. More next week with JB’s

Letters to the Editor
PM’s Damascus rail
conversion doesn’t wash
Dear Sir,
Scott Morrison’s
sudden election-eve
interest in rail is about
as genuine as his sudden
interest in the
Cronulla Sharks after
he won preselection
for the seat of Cook.
This Federal Government
has had nine years
to invest in better rail infrastructure,
and to provide
people with transport
options to reduce
their reliance on imported
fuel. They have done
absolutely nothing.
For Scott Morrison to
miraculously discover
rail now just adds salt to
the wounds of commuters,
and highlights his
chronic inability to plan
for the future.
The reported $1 billion
upgrade to the rail corridor
between Sydney
and Newcastle does
not appear to make any
sense and has come out
of the blue – without any
planning or consultation.
Spending a billion dollars
on extra tracks at
Wyong will make little if
any difference to travel
times between Sydney
and Newcastle, as the
notoriously slow sections
of the route are
further south between
Hornsby and Gosford.
This announcement
appears to be more
about buying votes in
the marginal seat of Dobell
than about genuine
improvements to the rail
network.
A real plan to improve
inter-city rail would involve
identifying a new
purpose-built railway
line for fast trains, as
was proposed by the
High Speed Rail Advisory
Group – a body
that this government
abolished.
As usual, Scott Morrison
is all spin and no
substance. Australians
deserve better.

Dear Sir,
Perhaps some of
your readers may
be able to assist me
in some historic research
I am presently
doing.
I am compiling a biography
on the life of Dan
Breen, a noted figure
from Ireland’s revolutionary
period of 100
years ago.
His daughter, Grainne
resided in Sydney, at
Balmain, Elizabeth Bay
and latterly at Drummoyne,
where she died
in March of 2016.
She worked as a
nurse, I suspect in the
psychiatric field.
I would be grateful if
anyone who might have
known this lady at any
time, would make contact

New research reveals
saddening stories
New research conducted
by the Centre
of Perinatal Excellence
(COPE) reveals
saddening stories
from hopeful, expectant,
and new parents
about negative experiences
at each stage of
the journey to parenthood
– and the impact
of those on their lives
and wellbeing.
Every year, 300,000
women give birth in this
country, and behind
that statistic are tens of
thousands of stories of
hidden distress.
Around 15% of couples
experience infertility.
Many describe it as
a physical and emotional
rollercoaster with
adverse impacts on
relationships, financial
security and mental
health.
Pregnancy can be far
from the glowing experience
often portrayed.
Prolonged and severe
morning sickness,
negative body image,
family violence, anxiety
and depression are just
some of the challenges
faced in pregnancy.
Miscarriage and stillbirth
are more common
than realised, leaving
people shattered and
heartbroken.
Birth trauma is underestimated,
with the
impact lasting for years.
The trauma can be magnified
by the words spoken
by health professionals
in the moment
that are never forgotten.
Professionals take heed!
Alarmingly, 75% of
parents describe emotional
and mental distress
in their first year of
parenting. Severe sleep
deprivation, relationship
tension and loneliness
contribute to poor mental
health and can trigger
terrifying thoughts,
outbursts of rage and
postnatal anxiety and
depression.
Due to high levels of
stigma and social pressure,
parents hide challenges
from others for
fear of judgement and
even worry about having
children removed from
their care.
This only exacerbates
the impacts on mental
health.
The findings emphasise
the critical need for
routine, universal, mental
health screening of all
hopeful, expectant and
new parents, to identify
distress early, and ensure
timely referral.
When it comes to education,
the current narrow
focus on post-natal
depression and anxiety
is too little, too late.
New approaches must
offer more comprehensive
information on the
broader range of challenges
at these vulnerable
life-stages and
address the stigma that
exists. See cope.org.au/

Council rejects Gladesville reserve synthetic turf
☐ Gladesville Reserve
A proposed synthetic turf football pitch
at Gladesville Reserve has been removed
for consideration - but not prohibited -
Hunter’s Hill councillors resolved during
last Monday night’s council meeting.
Synthetic turf for the pitch used by the
700-member All Saints Soccer Club had
been proposed under a $2 million state government
grant to upgrade the “poor condition”
of the playing surface which is regarded
by parents, players and visiting teams to
be unusable in wet weather.
Councillors voted to amend the draft Henley
Precinct Open Space Plan of Management
to remove the (proposed) use of synthetic
turf other than for cricket pitches.
The council’s decision responds to feedback
made during a recent public meeting
at the Henley Bowling Club where community
speakers opposed synthetic turf due to
its cost and alleged “micro plastic” environmental
hazards.
A draft motion by Deputy Mayor Elizabeth
Krassoi to “prohibit” synthetic turf was replaced
with the word “remove” after Liberal
Clr Tatyana Virgara argued synthetic turf
might be a viable future option as synthetic
turf technology adapts to meet environmental
needs.
Alongside a new natural turf pitch there is
also a proposal for a new clubhouse style
amenities block at the site.
Councillor Ross Williams (Ind) sought further
community consultation on a proposed
larger pitch and a possible removal of trees
but Clr Julia Prieston (Lib) said councillors
had missed multiple government deadlines
to act on the grant and further debate would
be a waste of time.
Deputy Mayor Krassoi also urged action.
“We’ve got the clubhouse, we’ve got the
field, we’ve got the two million dollars, now
let’s do it,” she said.
All Saints Soccer Club has indicated it will
not oppose the decision on the synthetic
pitch.

Why we listen to young people
It can be daunting, and difficult to
overcome roadblocks to become involved
important decision-making as
a young person.
For young people to be able to contribute
effectively to society, governments and
organisations need to value a different perspective,
and take a chance on hearing what
a younger generation has to say.
When I was elected to Hunter’s Hill Council
late last year, I learned that my community
did value the fresh outlook and energy for
change, that I had to offer.
The pace of change is accelerating in our
Millennial era, and you only have to look as
far as issues of environmental sustainability
or mental health to see that young people
have shaped this progression.
It is widely acknowledged that we need
young representatives at the table to be able
to formulate new solutions and advance
community goals.
* * *
This coming week we’re celebrating Youth
Week – a week-long celebration organised
by young people, for young people - in local
areas across Australia.
Youth Week aims to ensure that young people
have a voice and can influence change,
and feel connected, engaged with and welcomed
in their communities.
There will be activities and events available
across NSW for young people to attend and
participate in, ranging from forums and conferences,
to concerts and sports.
Ahead of Youth Week, Hunter’s Hill Council
held its annual Youth Summit – allowing local
high school students to share ideas for how
to promote good climate policy in our local
area and ways to boost youth engagement
with Council.
The Council will now work with the ideas
and projects pitched by those who attended,
to implement projects that are important to
youths living, working or studying in the area.
* * *
Relevantly, at our most recent Council
People sometimes refer to Hunters
Hill as being an area predominately
made up of ‘older’ residents.
However, when you look at the
demographics for our local government
area, data from our Community
Profile (based on Census of Population
and Housing results), it shows
that while we do have a higher proportion
of persons aged 60 or older
than Greater Sydney, we also have
higher proportion of young people,
aged under 18.
So, it’s fitting that around this time
of year we dedicate events and conversations
specifically to residents
in these important age groups.
On 24 March, we hosted our annual
Youth Summit at Town Hall.
It was an opportunity for local high
school students to share ideas with
our Council about sustainability
projects, and also how to get youth
more engaged in the community.
I’m passionate about youth representation
on our Council and that
was one of the reasons I stood for
election as a Councillor almost a
decade ago at the age of 21.
Having served two terms as a
Councillor and now entering a third
as Mayor, engaging a youth voice
through Council is something that
I believe is so important and it’s a
view I know other Councillors share
too.
Whether it is through a Youth Council
and having young people repre-

HUNTER’S HILL HAPPENINGS
with Mayor Zac Miles
Meeting on 21 April,
my fellow Councillors
and I resolved
plans for refurbishing
Figtree Park and
using the $4.75 million
funding grant
from the NSW Government
– including
endorsing the concept
of an inclusive
play space featuring
timber boardwalks,
climbing nets and
basket swings which will be set alongside
an accessible amenities block, plantings and
other enhancements.
The Council is also planning to fund upgrades
to play spaces at Weil Park in Woolwich,
and Harding Memorial Playground in
Gladesville as part of the “Playmaking Project,”
with youth consultation an integral part
of the brainstorming phase so that we can
develop the best spaces for our local young
people.
These projects are not exhaustive, and
are all in addition to the already established
bike track at Boronia Park, Libby’s Place at
Gladesville Reserve and the Yarn in Hunters
Hill – fostering innovative places for young
members to come together and feel part of
their community.
Last year, I campaigned that it was time
for a refresh, and articulated the frustration
shared by young people in our community
that our agenda is continually sidelined, due
to lack of representation in Council. Now, we
can and are making real change!
Julia Prieston is a councillor at Hunters
Hill Council
sented on our committees, or hosting
more events and promoting activities
that appeal to a younger demographic,
we hope to boost youth involvement
in what we do.
Equally importantly, with the NSW
Seniors Festival under way, we are
taking the opportunity to recognise
and thank older citizens in our community
for the contributions they
have made and continue to make.
Hunters Hill, working with Lane
Cove and Ryde as well as other service
organisations across our community,
has organised activities for
the Seniors Festival, including an
April 7 Garden Party on the former
bowling greens outside the Henley
Community Centre.

Liberals choose Simon Kennedy to contest Bennelong
Liberal Party members have chosen business executive, Simon
Kennedy, to contest the seat of Bennelong for the Liberal Party
at the upcoming federal election.
Raised in Epping, Mr Kennedy
is a former school captain of Epping
Boys High School and a former
member of the Ryde City Youth
Council.
Mr Kennedy said he was brought
up by a working single mother, who
taught him the value of hard work
and he started his working career
in the check-out queues of Epping
Coles and as a furniture removalist
for Epping Removals.
“Bennelong has been my home,
the place where I grew up and where
I want to build a future for my own
kids,” he said.
“It’s a great place, and we’ve had
extremely good representation from
great local members like John Howard
and John Alexander.
“JA has been outstanding representative
and tireless advocate for
Bennelong, who delivered so much
for our community. I hope to have the
opportunity to continue his important
work, delivering local infrastructure,
creating jobs and promoting our
small businesses.”
He said local families and small
businesses had endured challenging
times and he would work to support
the community in overcoming those
challenges.
“Our schools, services and infrastructure
need to keep up with the
growing community needs, and if
elected I will fight to get more funding
for local services and amenities
and to remove congestion from major
corridors including Epping, Marsden
and Victoria Roads,” he said.
The Member for Bennelong, John
Alexander OAM, said Mr Kennedy
was an exceptional candidate who
would be a strong voice for the community
in the Morrison Government.
“Simon has the experience and
track record to continue my work
of delivering for Bennelong community,”
As a former McKinsey executive,
Simon’s career took him to Washington
DC, working with the US government
on pro-business policies to
help millions of people into work.
In 2016, he co-founded McKinsey’s
Australian Public Sector Practice,
building strong relationships with
Cabinet Ministers, departments and
the private sector.
While working in the US, he met his
wife Nila, an infectious diseases doctor
at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital,
with the couple coming home
to give their two young children the
same upbringing and opportunities
he received.
One of the founders of Generation
Australia, a non-profit that places
long-term unemployed Sydney-siders
into jobs, Mr Kennedy has also
worked extensively with Barnardos
Australia and volunteered with the
local Rotary Club and Salvation
Army.
A Liberal Party statement said
that as part of the Morrison Liberal
team, Simon would work to deliver
economic recovery and a stronger
future for local families and businesses.
It has been four months since incumbent
Liberal Member for Bennelong,
Mr Alexander, announced he
would not be nominating for preselection
for the seat.
“After eleven years of having the
honour of representing the Federal
Seat of Bennelong and with nominations
for Liberal Party preselection
having been called, I should make
my intentions known,” Mr Alexander
said at the time.
“I make this announcement now in
fairness to those who may be interested
in nominating for preselection.
“I care deeply about the future of
Bennelong, and our Government,
and want the best possible candidates
competing for the honour of
being the Liberal Party candidate for
Bennelong.”
Government’s Bennelong investment
Meanwhile, Mr Kennedy, welcomed
the federal government’s investment
of almost $7 million for upgrading
of the Blaxland Road and Balaclava
Road intersection.
The Morrison Government is investing
an additional $2.2 million in
the 2022-23 Budget for this joint
state-federal project, to proceed with
the widening at the intersection, the
installation of a new raised median
and an upgrade of the existing traffic
signals.
Mr Kennedy said the funding to improve
this critical road juncture would
help road users to get through this
potential bottleneck faster and safer.
“This upgrade will improve the efficiency
and reliability of our roads
network, meaning that people will
spend less time in traffic and be able
to get to work or home faster, and get
to spend more time with their families,”
he said.
“The Morrison Government’s record
infrastructure investment pipeline has
been delivering better outcomes for
this community, and ensuring that we
have the roads and infrastructure that
Bennelong needs and deserves.”
He said Mr Alexander’s hard work
had delivered millions of dollars for
local infrastructure and amenities.
This included more than $90 million
in government funding for transport
improvements, such as $80 million
for the Macquarie University Station
Bus Interchange, $11 million for local
roads and community infrastructure
upgrades and now, almost $7 million
to bust congestion at a key Bennelong
intersection.

Preselection contest
Five candidates contested the preselection
ballot last Wednesday night at
The Epping Club.
Candidates Trenton Brown and Rose
Torossian were eliminated after the first
ballot, having attracted less than five
per cent of votes.
Mr Kennedy was seven votes short of
winning the contest in the first round,
with 51 per cent of the total votes required.
Craig Chung was the next to be eliminated
after his 48 votes were the lowest
of the three remaining candidates
with former Michaela Cash chief of
staff, Gisele Kapterian, attracting 80
votes and Mr Kennedy, 119.
Mr Kennedy defeated Ms Kapterian
148-95 in the final ballot.

PM opens new data centre in Mac Park
BY ANTHONY STAVRINOS
Prime Minister Scott Morrison
visited Macquarie Park on Friday
to open Macquarie Data
Centres’ new data centre at
Talavera Road - Intellicentre 3
(IC3 East).
As part of the event, the
Prime Minister was whisked
away from accompanying
media and into a room at the
facility to observe a “threat
hunt” with Macquarie’s ‘cyberwarriors’
involving the IT
infrastructure of a government
agency, using a playbook of
more than 4,000 techniques
employed by bad actors in the
cyber world.
The ‘cyberwarriors’ were
looking for patterns of compromise
or vulnerabilities
which could be exploited by
cybercriminals.
Speaking at the event, the
Prime Minister hailed IC3 East
as an example of the type of
secure, sovereign infrastructure
Australia needs to bolster
our cyber security capability
and accelerate the digital
economy.
“This centre we are finally
opening today – is about the
economy, it is about the digital
world that is transforming the
world, and it is about our security,”
he said.
“Increasingly, our economy
and our security depend on
each other.
“This campus is about both
– a mighty $200 million data
centre, Australian owned,
Australian operated, one of
the most trusted and certified
in Australia, with a team of
highly trained engineers delivering
up to 50 megawatts of
data storage capability.
“Our Government has set a
goal of Australia being a top
10 digital economy by 2030.”
He said an essential foundation
of such a goal was trust
and confidence.
“Trust in the regulatory systems
of a country, and confidence
it can meet the increasing
cyber challenges in our
world,” Mr Morrison said.
“Espionage, disinformation,
cyber-attacks, foreign interference,
and economic coercion
– these (are the) types of malignant
activities mounting in
our world.”
The official opening marked
the on-time, on-budget completion
of the data centre in
Macquarie’s Sydney Campus.
The project received an initial
investment of more than
$85 million and supported
over 1,200 construction, engineering,
cyber security, and
IT jobs throughout the COVID
pandemic.
The facility is designed to
support government organisations,
hyperscalers, global
multinationals and Australian
corporations with their IT infrastructure
and cybersecurity
needs.
“I was particularly excited to
join Prime Minister Scott Morrison
at the opening of the new
data centres at Macquarie Telecom,”
Mr Kennedy said.
“This represents a $180 million
investment by the company
in expanding its cyber security
services and capability.
“If elected, I will be a tireless
advocate for attracting more
innovative jobs to our community,
like the Macquarie Data
Centres.”
He said the community
would be the beneficiary as
more businesses, buoyed by
the government’s economic
plan, succeed and grew.
Kyinzom Dhongdue launched her campaign as the Democratic Alliance’s candidate
for Bennelong, at the Epping Community Centre on Saturday.
Among guests at the
launch supporting Kyinzom
was 2GB broadcaster and
philanthropist, Bill Crews.
“Running for Parliament
was not in my plan when I
came to Australia 16 years
ago as a stateless person,”
Kyinzom says.
“But as a Tibetan born in a
refugee camp in India, as a
result of China’s occupation
of Tibet, politics has always
been part of my destiny.
“I am a human rights advocate.
I am ready to give back
to the country that has given
me so much.”
She said she was running
for Parliament to give voice
to people who have not been
heard in Canberra.
“I am running to stamp out
corruption that is destroying
Australian democracy,
whether it’s money from China
or the fossil fuel industry,”
she said.
“For over a decade, I’d
walked in the halls of Parliament
to put human rights
before profit in Australia’s relationship
with China.
“But what I saw was corrupt
elites selling out, and
the Chinese Communist
Party infiltrating almost every
aspect of our free, democratic
society.”

6 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 30 March, 2022
Rowe Street East Car Park officially opened
Labor announces Laxale as its candidate for Bennelong
Labor has announced Jerome Laxale as its candidate for
Bennelong for the upcoming federal election.
Opposition Leader Anthony
Albanese made
the announcement on
Saturday morning in a
media doorstop with
selected invited outlets,
which did not include
The Weekly Times.
“This morning I announced
Jerome Laxale
as Labor’s candidate for
Bennelong,” Mr Albanese
said.
Mr Albanese described
the group of
around 20 people who
were photographed at
the launch as “a huge
crowd of community
members (who) turned
out to show their support
for him.”
“It’s clear how deeply
The City of Ryde officially
opened the new Rowe Street
East Car Park to the public
last week.
It will help address parking demand
in Eastwood and provide a
much-needed boost for the local
economy.
The new multi-level, short-stay
car park provides 146 spaces
with entry and exit points via
Rowe Street, and an exit via
Rowe Lane.
The car park also features a
range of modern and accessible
features including EV charging
stations, a passenger lift, number
plate recognition car park
management system and accessible
car spaces.
City of Ryde Mayor, Clr Jordan
Lane, said the new Rowe Street
East Car Park would support
small businesses in Eastwood.
“The new Rowe Street East car
park will address chronic parking
shortages in Eastwood, which
will in turn encourage more people
to visit the town centre to
shop, dine out or attend any of
the hundreds of wonderful businesses
located here,” Clr Lane
said.
“The City of Ryde is determined
to provide as much support
to our local businesses as
possible, and this new car park
is a prime example of how we
he cares about this area
and how loved he is by
the people here. Jerome
will deliver cheaper
childcare, strengthen
Medicare and lift wages
to build a better future
for Bennelong.”
Mr Albanese extended
his best wishes to
the retiring Member for
Bennelong, John Alexander
OAM, for his future
outside of politics.
“I want to pay tribute
to John Alexander. John
Alexander has made
representations to myself
when I was a Minister
in the Government,”
he said.
“He has also been a
strong advocate on issues
like high speed
rail, issues of which we
are in agreement. And
he’s also a mate who’s
greatly improved my
second serve.
“And that has been
important and has encouraged
me to be a bit
quicker round the court
these days.”
He said Mr Alexander
could be proud of his
work as a member for
Bennelong.
“But Bennelong needs
a new member. And I
was very determined
that Bennelong would
get the best member
possible,” Mr Albanese
said.
“And the best member
are going to achieve that.”
“I would like to thank the community
for its support with this
project and look forward to
working with them as we continue
to enhance the Eastwood
town centre as well as town centres
across the City of Ryde.”
The Rowe Street East car park
will be open 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
During the day, motorists can
enjoy two hours of free parking
with incremental rate increases
after that point.
An evening flat rate of $5 for
more than two hours parking applies
for vehicles that enter the
carpark after 6pm.
possible for this area of
Sydney is the person
standing next to me. Jerome
Laxale is a committed
local.
“He served as the
Mayor of Ryde and
continues to serve as a
councillor with a record
of achievement.”
Clr Laxale said Bennelong
was his home and
had been for the last 15
years.
“I’ve had an absolute
pleasure serving on
council for the last nine
years and as mayor for
five years of that entire
time,” he said.
“I live here, been here
15 years, my kids go to
school here and it would
be an absolute honor to
be part of the Albanese
Labor Government in a
couple of weeks’ time.”
☐ The Korean Drum Group, Ryde councillors and community members at last Wednesday’s official
opening of the Rowe Street East Car Park.
Dual nationality
issue clarified
Clr Laxale also clarified
the issue of the potential
hurdle his dual French citizenship
had on his candidacy.
In November 2017, Mr
Alexander resigned as
Member for Bennelong
before successfully recontesting
the seat at a
byelection, after discovering
he was a dual British
citizen and was ineligible
to sit in Parliament.
“Like many people in
this electorate, I held dual
nationality,” Clr Laxale
said.
“So, when Albo rang I
needed to go through a
process to get rid of those
dual nationalities.
“The story that I’ve got
is very similar to the stories
of many people in this
electorate. My parents
were both born overseas,
they moved to Australia
as a land of hope and opportunity.
“They worked hard, sent
me to school and university.
This is the story of Bennelong.
That came with
it, that second passport,
which I’ve now thankfully
extinguished, enabling
(me) to announce here today.
That’s why I’ve left it
a little bit late.”
Clr Laxale’s mother,
Roselyne, was born in
Reunion Island, a French
state. Her husband Alain
was born in Mauritius,
which has French heritage.
Clr Laxale was born in
Australia and remains fluent
in French which he
learned before English.
His candidacy had been
kept secret in recent
weeks, but a Labor Party
media spokesperson
jumped the gun on Thursday
morning, announcing
it to media before Mr Albanese
could.

Greek flag raised at Kissing Point
Two hundred and
one years of Greek
independence was
commemorated at
Kissing Point Park on
Friday.
The commemoration
featured the raising of
the National Flag of
Greece in line with a
council motion introduced
by City of Ryde
Deputy Mayor Roy
Maggio to recognise
the contribution the
estimated six thousand
Greek speaking local
citizens have made to
economic, civic and
community life.
Council’s general
manager George
Dedes, who is of Greek
descent, also attended
the commemoration.
“The Greek War of
Independence, also
known as the Greek
Revolution of 1821,
was a successful war
of independence by
Greek revolutionaries
against the Ottoman
Empire between 1821
and 1829,” Mr Dedes
told The Weekly Times.
“The war led to the
formation of modern
Greece. The revolution
is celebrated by
Greeks around the
world as independence
day on 25 March.
“The City of Ryde has
a strong connection to
Greece with more than
6,000 residents with
Greek heritage and
ancestry, so it is fitting
that as a Council we
are able to pay tribute
to Greece, its rich history
and its wonderful
people.”
The motion also requires
the Council to
promote this contribution
through its media
and community relations
networks.
Arthur Kopsias
thanked the Council
during his speech at
the flag raising ceremony
and noted that
the event was the first
time any Sydney council
had commemorated
Greek Independence
Day.
He said last year’s
historic anniversary
was not celebrated
due to the pandemic
and he invited neighbouring
Hunter’s Hill
Council to take part
in future commemorations.
The Greeks revolted
against the Ottoman
Turks following more
than 400 years of occupation,
repression
and massacres but
Europe did not officially
recognise the
new Greek state until
the London Protocol
of 1830, three years
after a decisive victory
against the Turks in the
Battle of Navarino.

the ‘NSW Environment Protection
Authority - Waste Less
Recycle More’ initiative, funded
from the waste levy.
The webinar is entitled: ‘How
to combat bad behaviour in your
apartment building using bylaws’.
Learn from Amanda, an experienced
strata lawyer, how to harness
the power of by-laws to restore
peace to your community.
Amanda shares those tools and
processes with you in an easy to
understand way, with the opportunity
for you to ask her questions.
As host of the Your Strata Property
podcast, Amanda shares the
tools and processes she has implemented
to help many building
and individual owners resolve
chronic problems – simply by
more effectively using by-laws.
With just a little knowledge of
this otherwise complex area of
the law, people can take confident
steps towards eliminating
the bad behaviour that’s preventing
them from properly enjoying
their home or investment.
“Basically many people who
own or live in an apartment (particularly
given the high density
apartment living in the northern
Sydney areas) are frequently
frustrated by their neighbours
given the close living proximity,”
Amanda says.
“The most irritating issues include
residents renovating without
any communication with
the strata committee or strata
manager; neighbours who create
unreasonable noise; dump their
rubbish creating a mess; or park
wherever they like.
“Many also feel unsure about
legal processes and Tribunal procedure
when they want to take
things further.”
Amanda is well-versed in a
number of associated topics, including:
Waste management and illegal
dumping: how communities
can better manage waste and
deal with problem residents illegally
dumping their items.
Noise complaints in strata:
how to deal with neighbours creating
unreasonable noise
Renovations: what approvals
do you need if you want to renovate
your apartment
Smoking in strata: how to
stop nuisance smokers
Short term letting: is this legal
and how can a community stop it
if they don’t want holiday makers
in their building
How the Public Health Order
impacts apartments: do people
have to be vaccinated to use the
building’s gym or pool?
Lane Cove Council’s sustainability
coordinator, Fiona Mc-
Cleary, said Illegal dumping can
present a danger to vehicles, pedestrians
and the environment.
“Items dumped on the kerbside
attract more waste, as well as
vermin such as rats, cockroaches
and flies,” she said.
“Illegally dumped waste also
significantly diminishes the look
and feel of Lane Cove.
“In 2020/21 there were 187
reports of illegal dumping, an
increase from 177 report the following
year.”
One of the key issues with recycling
arises from residents not
taking responsibility for recycling
correctly, particularly those living
in high rise buildings with waste
chutes.

☐ Josie from Link Wentworth is pictured with scholarship recipient Tina at the recent
scholarship ceremony.
Local community housing
provider, Link Wentworth has
donated $100,000 in scholarships
to help local residents
to pay for education, training,
hobbies and self-development.
Since being established in
2011, Link Wentworth (formerly
Link Housing) has donated a
total of half a million dollars
through their Scholarship Program.
Eastwood resident Tina, 41,
applied for a scholarship so she
could purchase the equipment
she needed to help her complete
a degree.
“I was unable to continue my
university studies as my new
course requirement was specific
equipment needed for designing
software,” she said
“I felt like there was no hope
for me as I definitely couldn’t afford
this.”
With Link Wentworth’s financial
assistance, Tina says she
can continue to pursue her
goals.
“I can see a positive, exciting
and bright future for myself in a
career I am passionate about.”
Tina and other local recipients
received their awards from
Hornsby Mayor Philip Ruddock
AO, at a Scholarship Program
Awards ceremony this month
at Link Wentworth’s Chatswood
Office.
Mayor Ruddock said Link
Wentworth’s contribution to
community life is appreciated
by the people of Hornsby.
“This is an extraordinary collaborative
effort for which I say
on behalf of all the citizens of
Hornsby is much appreciated,”
he said
“I thank Link Wentworth for
their generosity as they have
now given over half a million
dollars to assist residents taking
up opportunities that would not
otherwise be available to them.”
Link Wentworth is one of the
largest community housing
providers in Australia, managing
approximately 6,400 homes
with around 10,000 residents
and 200 staff.
It is committed to providing
homes for the most vulnerable
in the community and will host
a live stream event called The
Big Housing Debate on April 21
with a distinguished line up of
speakers.

Devastation as Sydney FC
dominate but lose Grand Final
Sydney FC have been defeated 2-1 by Melbourne Victory in a heartbreaking
Grand Final which they dominated with 20 shots to seven but just couldn’t
find the back of the net.
State Memorial Service for Shane Warne
A State Memorial Service to honour
former Australian test cricketer
Mr Shane Warne will be held at 7pm
on Wednesday 30 March at the Melbourne
Cricket Ground.
Mr Warne didn’t just inspire
a cricketing generation – he
defined it. Born for the big occasion,
he gave us irreplaceable MCG
memories: the Ashes hat trick, his 700th wicket
and calming Bay 13 in his trackies.
In recognition of Mr Warne’s achievements
and legacy, his family have requested that
public attendees come to the MCG dressed in
their cricket gear.
There will also be plenty of options to view
the service for fans outside Victoria.
ABC TV, Nine, Seven and Ten networks will all
telecast the service live and the event will also
be live streamed at:
vic.gov.au/state-memorial-service-shanewarne
The Sky Blues ran rampant
and had balls cleared
off the line, hit the post, a
goal disallowed plus numerous
chances saved by Dumont
in the Melbourne goal.
It proved costly early in the
second half when a speculative
cross from Cooney-
Cross found the head of
Jackson.
Melbourne went further
ahead just after the hour
when a ricochet fell to Zimmerman
who smashed the
ball home.
A fiery encounter continued
when Vine equalised
two minutes later from
Rule’s downward header.
Vine and Lowe had chances
to pull the Sky Blues level
late on but it wasn’t to be
and Sydney FC fall at the
final hurdle.
“It’s heart-breaking, the
girls are devastated,” said
Sydney FC coach Ante Juric.
“They always pick themselves
up.
“If you put everything into
something and you lose,
that’s still winning, and I
truly believe that because
sometimes the scoreline
doesn’t reflect what actually
happened.
“But that’s just life. They
know they put everything
into it and deserved to win
but we didn’t.”

16 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 30 March, 2022
Don’t miss your chance to win a motza
By the one eyed Tiger
There’s never been a better time to
bet ma-in-law’s funeral fund money
on the Tigers winning the grand final
with some of the more reckless
bookies touting a staggering 150 to
one odds at the moment.
In fact no team has
as good an odds as
the Tigers have right
now and you’d be mad
as a pom in the midday
sun not to take this gilt
edged, golden opportunity
to win a motza
on the Tigers winning
the Grand Final.
But get down to the
betting shop quickly
because these amazing
odds won’t last as
the Tigers prepare to
unleash their exciting
new brand of attacking
football on the Jellies,
Gummies and Bunnies
in coming weeks.
Like a seasoned professional
jockey - Tiger’s
supercoach Michael
‘Madge’ Maguire
has his team just
where he wants them
to be - with a clear
view of the pack - and
a team primed for an
upcoming surge.
Not only has Madge
the most exciting attack
in football, he’s
also got a mean new
sliding defence and a
team that plays for the
club’s famous reputation
and for each other.
“Our intent is there
and we have a committed
team,” Madge
said.
“We have a new system
and it works.”
He said he’s proud of
his players’ commitment.
“I was really proud
about how the boys
went about things this
week.
“That’s what the season
is all about, it is
about building who we
are as a group.
“It is called resilience
and
that
is
what I’ve seen.”
The Tigers two new
signings from English
champions Wigan -
five eighth Jackson
Hastings and centre
Oliver Gildart - have
been outstanding and
have exceeded the
fans expectations.
Captain and prop
James Tamou returned
last week and
we’re counting down
the games as our
ace goal kicker Adam
Doueihi recovers from
injury.
This Thursday night
we’re off to Cbus
Stadium on the Gold
Coast for an 8pm
start.
SEE YA THERE!
☐ Sign Language! Winger Ken Maumalo is one of the exciting new players who will ensure the Tigers are
your Number One best bet this season.
