PROUDLY MADE IN

AUSTRALIA

In response to Paul King’s (Oakey Coal Action

Alliance) recent letter to the editor, Mr King is

misguided in his criticism of New Acland Mine.

We are grateful for the encouragement of our

many supporters, including local farmers, neighbours,

business leaders, nearby families and community

groups who want Stage 3 approved.

Over the past decade, New Acland Mine has

proved time and time again that mining and agriculture

can co-exist.

Acland Pastoral Company, established in 2006,

is a farming, grazing and land management enterprise

based at New Acland. The company oversees

10,000ha of land, 2,000 head of cattle, and manages

2,400ha of crops, which are primarily sold

locally.

New Acland’s environmental credentials have

been formally recognised with the Queensland

Government certifying 349ha of progressively

rehabilitated open-cut mined land at New Acland.

To put the size of the area in context, the certification

covers an area of around 300 Suncorp

Stadiums. To date, more than 740ha of land has

been rehabilitated.

Leading independent livestock consultants and

a Queensland university also conducted a fiveyear,

scientifically-controlled cattle grazing trial at

New Acland. The results found rehabilitated mining

land is as productive, if not even more productive,

than non-mined land.

It’s essential to understand New Acland Mine

does not rely on groundwater bores for any of its

mining operations. It purchases its water requirements

from the Wetalla Wastewater Reclamation

Facility under an existing long term supply contract

with the Toowoomba Regional Council.

No resources project in Queensland history has

been more scrutinised than New Acland Stage 3.

The Resources Minister critically assessed the

project and found it stacks up environmentally,

socially and financially.

When approved, Stage 3 will generate significant

employment opportunities and benefits for

the Darling Downs region. Local workers, contractors

and businesses will benefit to the tune of

$1b over the life of the project.

This is not just about a mine, it’s about securing

jobs, keeping local businesses strong and putting

money back in the pockets of hard-working regional

Queenslanders.

Manager

Consultation but no action

I’d like to support Judy Hobson and the editor’s

comments regarding excessive clearing in Highfields

and surrounding environments.

We seem to have a process of periodic council

public consultation on planning schemes but

planning outcomes that are unsatisfactory to say

the least. I can’t believe anyone at such meetings

would have advocated removal of old growth trees

and clear felling for developments, for example.

Yet here we are.

Obviously, there are population pressures in

South-East Queensland, including our region, and

not every part of the environment can be saved.

However, planning should be just that. Wildlife

and plant corridors so that native species can survive

and live alongside us rather than be banished

and even face threats of extinction is a good place

to start.

A few years ago, scrub turkeys decided to move

in at my home and now a male is building a nest.

I’m not exactly pleased, but by using tree guards

for the new plants we want to keep is a compromise

we can live with. (see photo.)

Some areas will need to be sacrificed for higher

density living. If that is the case, then this should

be done with minimum footprint and effect on the

surrounding environment.

It might be better to have limited height high rise

accommodation in selected areas than clear-felling

of land to provide 300-400m lots with acres of

rooftop-to-rooftop dwellings.

The latter is more destructive, ugly and wasteful

than inner-urban apartment living. It is hard

to understand when such developments appear in

isolated locations largely devoid of infrastructure

such as Cabarlah.

Those who are fortunate enough to live on

blocks large enough to accommodate trees and

homes for wildlife and native flora should be able

Petition attracts 6839 signatures

After four weeks of gathering

support, Bird Life Southern

Queensland Darling Downs convener

Scot McPhie has handed a

petition to the Toowoomba Regional

Council urging the adoption

of tree protection laws.

Mr McPhie handed the petition

of 6839 signatures to Water

and Waste Committee Chair

Councillor Rebecca Vonhoff on

Monday.

The petition, started on August

31, was in response to the

Toowoomba Regional Council

not currently having laws to prevent

the clearing of mature trees

and habitat.

Mr McPhie said for the city

to call itself the Garden City and

not have any vegetation protection

laws for mature trees was

crazy in this day-and-age.

“There are plenty of people

from this area and throughout

Australia who have expressed

their concerns through this petition,”

he said.

“I started this petition because

I happened to drive past and saw

what had recently happened at

Reis Road, Highfields.

"I knew that area well and

always thought if it was ever

developed; it would be an attractive

development because of the

grass land and mature trees.”

Community disapproval of

indiscriminate land clearing has

come to the forefront after work

on a multi-stage development at

Reis Road in Highfields started

on Monday, August 22, resulting

in many mature native trees being

destroyed.

Mr McPhie said the petition

took off as soon as he started it

on Change.org.

“I saw that the petition was

shared 970 times and viewed

about 40,000 times on social

media and I would wake up to

1000 more signatures,” he said.

“The community sentiment is

very strongly in favour of what

we are proposing.

"We’re not after anything radical.

We’re not saying we don’t

need development. We just need

it to be appropriate and to be

balanced against the needs of the

environment.

“We’re lagging behind the

other councils in South East

Queensland and it reflects poorly

on the Toowoomba Region.”

Cr Vonhoff said she was grateful

to receive the petition that

she would present to the council

at its next meeting on October

25.

“I note 6839 people have

signed it which is a lot and I

won’t prejudge or prejudice

what council does but I would

say that’s enough people fo

those in the council to pay heed

and take notice of what is said,”

Cr Vonhoff said.

“Planning is a very complex

issue but we really want to value

the environment and we need to

do this sensitively.

“We’re a growing region. People

need houses but we need to

grow in a sensitive and environmentally

responsible way otherwise

we will lose the support of

the community for growth.”

Cr Vonhoff said the petition

could see a potential change to

the council’s planning scheme.

“We are in the position at the

moment where the council is

doing all that work on the new

planning scheme and that is

a huge body of work. It takes

many years,” she said.

“I understand it’s a source

Free Deliveries

of frustration for people in the

community but I can’t say it

enough that it is complex and we

do want to work with the community

to do it right.”

Mr McPhie said he hoped

the council would proactively

reform the vegetation management

laws.

“There needs to be a system

where mature growth trees are

identified and protected," he

said.

"There needs to be a benchmark

against which they’re

judged and there also needs to

be stiff penalties for developers

who won’t do that."

“It can’t just be worked in as

a business cost; it’s got to be a

deterrent, so they (the council)

have got to be fair-dinkum about

designing the laws and deterrents

and checking the compliance.

“If that’s not done in the lifetime

of this council, then that’s

certainly something that I and

many others in the community

will be wanting to make an election

issue at the next local government

election.”

Council explores tree planting options


will examine ways in which it

can partner with the community

to plant more trees in rural and

urban locations.

The council endorsed a motion

calling for a report into tree

planting options, subject to budgetary

considerations, at its September

meeting.

TRC Planning and Development

Committee chair Cr Megan

O’Hara Sullivan said she envisaged

a community partnership

where the council and interested

parties, including private landholders,

would work to plant

more trees across the region.

“It is worthy to aim for an

ambitious tree planting program

in response to recent and past

vegetation loss as a result of our

expanding urban footprint,” Cr

O’Hara Sullivan said.

“Landowners may clear vegetation

on their property without

seeking approval from the council,

so long as they comply with

any relevant State or Federal

legislation.

“The council is looking at

provisions in the new Planning

Scheme to provide closer scrutiny

on vegetation removal and

potential complementary planting.

“There are many opportunities

for tree planting programs to

be positive community-building

exercises.

“Aside from the aesthetic

benefits of planting appropriate

species in suitable urban and

district locations, there are many

other positive effects that can be

realised.

“The council can continue

to play its part in reducing

loose carbon in the atmosphere

through a growing program such

as this proposal.

“Tree planting can help stabilise

areas, such as cleared sites

along our eastern escarpment, as

well as adjacent to waterways

and lineal parklands that also

function as stormwater conduits.

“Targeted planting programs

also could help restore natural

water courses that have been denuded

due to various activities

over the years.

“Last year’s event had visitors

from all over Southern

Queensland and we anticipate

people will again travel for this

upcoming expo.”

The Expo will have a number

of vendors with pertinent information

on health products, retirement

villages, lawyers, social

clubs, education and more.

“The expo provides information

for seniors, relatives and

carers all under one roof,” Mrs

Gillies said.

“We’re looking forward to

this year’s event which we consider

a community service.

“It feels great to be contributing

something to local seniors.

“The Expo is organised by se-

Ted Lewis, Wendy Heelan, Hazel Gillies and Julie Nutley

Toowoomba Seniors Expo committee

niors - for seniors.”

The theme for Queensland

Seniors Month, which runs from

October 1-31 is social connection

and is about connecting

with one another and aims to

improve community attitudes

towards older people, facilitate

community participation and

activity by older people, including

Indigenous and culturally

and linguistically diverse backgrounds

and more.

“We would like to thank the


for their help sponsoring the

event this year.

“Their support makes it a lot

easier to organise the expo,” Mrs

Gillies said.

Donation brings music to

Brownesholme

The sound of music now fills Carinity’s newest

aged care community in Highfields thanks

to a generous donation of a 100-year-old German-made

piano to The Residences at Brownesholme

aged care by Barry and Helen Bawden

OAM.

Helen’s father purchased the piano for her second

hand when she was 14. She owned it for more

than 60 years and is delighted that it is now bringing

joy to others.

Carinity presented the Bawdens with a certificate

of appreciation for their kind donation, which

also included a piano stool containing sheet music,

and a commemorative plaque sits on top of the

century-old piano.

An inscription on the piano cites it was “manufactured

expressly” for Kuhnel & Co in Adelaide,

the largest piano and organ store in Australia at

the time.

The Bawdens recently sold their property at

Oakey and moved into the Carinity Brownesholme

retirement village adjacent to The Residences

at Brownesholme aged care.

“My family had been at us to downsize for quite

some time because they knew it was just too hard

for me to manage a big house anymore, especially

with my physical condition,” Helen said.

“We came to look at Brownesholme and fell in

love with it and put our name down there and then.

We love the area and the way the village is laid

out. It is homely and the grounds are beautiful.

Give back our little one

These ducks photographed in Highfields were, at first,

a family of six. Then they were five. Today we saw a little

girl take a duckling. The children in our street adore this

family of ducks and saw this happen.

They yelled out to the girl and her parent but the parent

yelled out: “We don’t care” and drove off. The children

chased after the car but obviously couldn’t stop it.

This is absolutely appalling, even more appalling to see

that a parent is encouraging this kind of behaviour. If you

are reading this, please return the duckling to its family.

Grave concerns about Inland Rail

A small South East Queensland

council holds grave concerns

over the future of their

community as Inland Rail proceeds

full steam ahead with

plans to rip through the heart of

their towns.

Looking to protect the disaster

fatigued region from yet another

blow, Lockyer Valley Regional

Council is calling on State and

Commonwealth Governments

to ensure the nation’s salad bowl

doesn’t pay the price for the

project’s convenience.

Reflecting on the growing

frustration of her council and

community, Lockyer Valley Regional

Council Mayor Tanya

Milligan noted the region’s substantiated

concerns appear to be

falling on deaf ears.

“Our region has been put

through the ringer with overlapping

natural disasters and soon

we’ll have infrastructure of national

significance dividing our

towns in two and creating further

hurdles to overcome on our

journey to flood resilience,” Cr

Milligan said.

“It doesn’t matter what part

of the process you look at, the

proposed route will have serious

generational impacts on our

townships, and decision makers

designing the railway are not

taking our concerns seriously.

“We have been raising our

concerns since this project was

first announced and continue

to advocate for our community

in our ongoing objection to the

unreasonable impacts of Inland

Rail.

“Despite repeated requests,

the Australian Rail Track Corporation

has been unable or unwilling

to provide the council with

key information such as costs of

the planned infrastructure and

the alternate route, specifics of

the assessment process used by

ARTC to compare options or

even revised traffic modelling

and safety assessments.

“The decision on alignment

will affect the safety, amenity

APPEAR to be FALLING on DEAF EARS

Lockyer Valley Regional Councillors, Mayor Tanya Milligan, Rick Vela, Chris Wilson, Janice

Holstein, Deputy Mayor Jason Cook, Michael Hagan and Brett Qualischefski

and liveability of our community

for 100 years - yet Councillors

have been given platitudes rather

than facts.

“We understand this is vital

transport infrastructure and we

aren’t saying ‘not in my backyard.’

But we are saying it must be

moved outside of our townships.

Deputy Mayor, Cr Jason Cook

said the council had been demanding

explanations on behalf

of their community, but the ones

they’ve been provided aren’t

making much sense.

“We understand it might cost

a little more to move the route

outside of the Gatton township.

"But when picturing 2km

long, double-stacked freight

trains roaring through the centre

of a busy town more than 40

times a day, realigning the route

just seems like a no brainer,” Cr

Cook said.

“Surely reducing the enormous

impacts on our community

is a reasonable investment by

the government.

"The explanations and justifications

we are being provided

by Inland Rail just simply don’t

stack up.

“The current proposal is likely

to add insult to injury with

increased flooding risks, as our

community recovers from a

spate of three severe weather

events in the last 12 months.

“Beyond that, reduced connectivity

between the two sides

of the rail line is likely to create

a ‘wrong side of the tracks’

social issue as well as genuine

health concerns from noise impacts.

“In full flight the Inland Rail

project is tipped to disrupt the

ability to sleep for hundreds of

residents living within a kilometre

of the rail corridor – which is

both a health and wellbeing issue

and an unsettling truth about

the project.

Mayor Milligan called on the

Australian and Queensland Governments

to come to the region

and ground-truth the impacts of

the project for themselves.

“I am calling on all layers

of government to listen to our

concerns, and demonstrate their

respect for Australia’s rural

towns,” Cr Milligan said.

“Seeing the project on the

ground is very different to viewing

concept plans on a screen

and is a sure-fire way to ensure

all the stakeholders in the project

are fully informed on the

impacts it will have before it is

too late.

“While we are a small piece

in a large national scale puzzle,

that shouldn’t discredit our

concerns and we deserve both a

voice and a platform to be heard.

“Inland Rail offers no benefits

whatsoever to our community

and contrary to what some

members of our community are

mistakenly led to believe, it does

not include passenger rail.

“All we’re asking for is a fair

go, and for the route to be adjusted

so our liveability and ability

to respond to natural disasters

are not so severely impacted.

“This project will be devastating

for our community unless

the reference design is improved

substantially to address our concerns.

“I invite relevant State and

Commonwealth ministers to

meet with us and hear first-hand

of our concerns so that the right

decision can be made.”

Cr Milligan noted that her

statements were not made by or

on behalf of ARTC.

MENTAL HEALTH MONTH

October is recognised as Mental Health month throughout

a number of Australian states. Here in Queensland, we

celebrate Mental Health Week between 8-16th of October.

Mental Health Week is an annual awareness initiative that

promotes individual and community mental health and

well-being and boosts the awareness of mental illness

prevalence within the community.

Mental health refers to one’s psychological, emotional, and

social well-being. It influences the way we think, feel and act. It

impacts the way we process stress, make choices, and interact

with others. Mental health is important throughout all stages of

life and is influenced by biological factors such as genes and

brain chemistry, life experiences such as trauma, and family

history.

Research suggests exercise is beneficial for managing poor

mental health. Exercise releases chemicals like endorphins and

serotonin that improve your mood. It is an excuse to get outside,

reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation and putting you in

touch with other people. Regular exercise is proven to reduce

stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety contributing to

helping achieve recovery from mental health issues.

Exercise pumps blood to the brain which helps you think

clearly. It increases the size of the hippocampus, the part of the

brain responsible for memory. It increases connections between

the nerve cells in the brain, improving memory and protecting

you from injury and disease.

How much exercise do you need? Australian guidelines

recommend at least 30 minutes of exercise of moderate intensity

on most or all days of the week! Practising mindfulness while

doing exercise will reduce your stress and contribute to a healthy

mind! Here at MET Phys, we can provide you with an appropriate

exercise program! Better yet, come join us for affordable group

classes to help with motivation and social interactions.

This is general advice, if you would like information tailored

to suit your needs please contact your local allied health

professionals at MET Phys on 07 45 993 165 or come in and

see us! We are just beside the Lifeline in Highfields

at Shop 1 & 2, 10517 New England Highway, Highfields, 4352.

Council project extends life of

waste management landfill

MAJOR PROJECT COSTING $5.3 MILLION


is undertaking a major project

costing $5.3 million to extend

the life of the Toowoomba Waste

Management Centre landfill off

Hermitage Road at Cranley.

Water and Waste Committee

portfolio leader Cr Nancy Sommerfield

said work has started

on a second vertical expansion

at the landfill, scheduled to be

completed in the first half of

2023, weather permitting.

Cr Sommerfield said vertical

expansion included the construction

of a fully lined and

engineered landfill cell above

previously filled cells.

The expansion could be likened

to ‘piggy-backing’ on the

existing filled waste cells.

“Vertical expansion above an

existing and completed landfill

cell was identified as the most

cost-effective and efficient method

to meet our more immediate

needs and comply with environmental

requirements,” she said.

“Making good use of space

at landfills means the vertical

expansion works within the confines

of the current footprint.

“The new cell will add around

240,000m³ of airspace, which

adds up to three years to the

landfill life before another cell

will be needed.

“Residents’ willingness to divert

as many materials as possible

from the general waste

bin or when visiting the Greater

Toowoomba Waste Management

Facility means we are reducing

the volume of material that ends

up in our landfill, in line with

Queensland Government waste

reduction targets.

Successfully achieving

Queensland’s ambitious waste

diversion targets can help extend

the life of the landfill even further.

Cr SOMMERFIELD

Environmental safeguards

"This has cost savings for the

council and ratepayers, while

also improving our environmental

outcomes.

“This second vertical expansion

project is part of a progressive,

six-stage expansion

planned at the site over 20 years

on the current landfilling footprint.

“Work on stage one, which

was the first vertical expansion

project in Australia, was completed

in late 2017.

“Expansion to the west of the

existing landfilling operation at

the Hermitage Road site has the

potential to extend the life of the

facility by more than 50 years.

“Maximising landfill space by

vertical expansion and extension

onsite to the west is far cheaper

than establishing landfilling

operations at a new landfill site

and offers better environmental

safeguards.”

Cr Sommerfield said the

project involved multiple liners

within the cell, essentially like a

giant bin liner, above a drainage

aggregate layer containing the

leachate system that is designed

to capture any liquid in leachate

tanks.

Cr Sommerfield said 19,000

tonnes of clay and 2900m3 of

gravel and rock (for the drainage

layer) all sourced from the Harlaxton

quarry would be used in

various earthworks.

“The new cell has wells installed

which will collect the gas

produced by the breakdown of

organic waste.

"The gas is collected and used

in our innovative project, in conjunction

with Queensland firm

LGI, to supply up to 50 per cent

of the power to run the nearby

Wetalla Water Reclamation Facility

via a 1000 kilowatt gasfired

generator,” Cr Sommerfield

said.

Cr Sommerfield said specialist

Brisbane firm DECC Environmental

had started work on

the project with support from

Toowoomba civil engineering

firm, Harrison Infrastructure

Group.

Both companies have a proven

track record in delivering

similar projects.

Orchids thrive in good season

Among the hundreds of orchid species native

to Australia, there are a few that have no

leaves.

One of these locally can be seen just starting

to flower. Sometimes they are on the ground

(over the grass or similar) but most commonly

the Tree Climbing Orchids are up the trunk

from one to five metres.

Unless flowering, the dark bootlace-like

stems are not very noticable.

Orchids with no leaves are totally dependent

on specific fungus that feed them.

Trying to transplant them invariably fails

because they need particular organic litter

(from native Australian plants) and their species

of fungus.

Fortunately, there are some quality local

bushland parks, and some private land, where

the right litter and fungus are available (lantana

and privet thickets are no good.)

With the good season, they are present now

and bushwalkers should get to see some. Remember

to take only photos and leave no disturbance.

Club member Diane Robson and Lorelei

The September meeting of the Highfields

Garden Club was held at the Cabarlah home of

Sally and John Dowling.

The property is surrounded by remnant forest

and farms.

Members gathered on the large lawn area in

front of the house to hear John talk about how he

and Sally learnt about the property’s soil issues and

requirements over the last few years to produce the

colourful, sprawling garden.

John explained the previous history of the land,

once cleared for dairying, and the remains of the

railway line to Crows Nest alongside the property.

He also discussed management of weeds in

his garden.Guest speaker Caitlyn Mason from

the Queensland Dahlia Society presented a very

informative talk on growing Dahlias.

Caitlyn explained the various aspects of growing

dahlias including lifting of Dahlia tubers, timing

of planting tubers, fertilizing the growing plants to

enable cut flower production through summer and

into autumn. She then demonstrated separating

a clump of tubers and propagating Dahlia plants

from cuttings.

After the meeting members wandered the garden

admiring the flowering garden beds and hedges,

wisteria arch, espaliered pear walk and water

features.

There was also a display of metal garden structures

made by local metal worker Murray Anderson

for sale and a plant stall provided by Lorelei

Bartkowski from Highfields Garden Centre.

normal dollar.

It’s a Donation Dollar.

If everyone gave them as they

found them, every year $300 million

would go to those who need it most.

Crows Nest toy library to open

Progress Crows Nest is inviting the community

to the opening of the new Crows Nest Toy Library

next week.

The Crows Nest Toy Library is a Progress

Crows Nest initiative the association has been

working on since 2021.

Progress Crows Nest secretary Trish Mullins

said many community groups, businesses and

families have contributed to the toy library opening

on Saturday, October 8 and we look forward

to welcoming community members to the event.

“This is the only toy library in the Toowoomba

Region and the Kath Dickson Family Centre welcomes

all families to come along to the opening

to witness the multitude of toys available for borrowing

on a regular basis,” she said.

“In particular, the Crows Nest State School are

committed supporters through the provision of the

Little Possums building and Progressive Community

Crows Nest's generous financial support

to acquire a large number of new educational toys

for the facility.

“There were a few stop signs and roundabouts

to negotiate but the project was propelled into top

gear once Kath Dickson Family Centre became

aware of the concept, and fully engaged with it.

“We would also thank Meats and More Crows

Nest and the Curly Carrot for providing sausages

and a celebratory cake.”

Mrs Mullins said a part time kindergarten

teacher had been employed to facilitate the library

including training and support of community volunteers.

Manchester Unity Odd Fellows

raise funds for hospice

The Darling Downs District Manchester Unity

Independent Order of Odd Fellows is raising money

for charity throughout the region.

District grand master Brad Blanch with fellow

members Emily Newtown and Bradley Newtown

were selling tickets at the Highfields Plaza Shopping

Centre for a multi-draw raffle for Toowoomba

Hospice.

Members will set up in various locations in the

Toowoomba Region until the raffle is drawn on

Friday, December 16.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows aims to

provide a framework that promotes personal and

social development.

Mr Blanch said that each year, the District

Grand Master chooses a local charity to support.


“I have chosen the Toowoomba Hospice because

I have had family and friends who have been

at the Toowoomba Hospice,” he said.

“This facility does a fantastic job supporting local

people facing terminal illness and they rely on

the community to keep it running.”

The Darling Downs district will have upcoming

stores at the following locations:

• Crows Nest - October 7 and 24

• Range Shopping Centre - October 15 and December

Highfields State School student Cassidy

Dudley is now an Australian champion after

taking first place prize at the National Cross

Country Championships.

Cassidy, 10, competed in the para girls

10 years category at the championships that

were held at Adelaide on Saturday, August

27.

She finished the 2km race with a 12 minute

14 second time, to take the title.

Cassidy, who has cerebral palsy, was

awarded the Lions Club of Highfields North

Eastern Downs’ Children of Courage award

in June for her accomplishments making it

to the Darling Downs team to compete in the

state championship.

After winning a gold medal at the State

championships, she qualified for the national

competition at Adelaide.

In the lead-up to the championships, Cassidy

qualified for the Darling Downs cross

country team in June and trained at her

school’s 2km track and at home.

Parents Louise and Michael Dudley said

they were very proud of their daughter’s

achievements.

“She said she wants to be a Paralympian

and I believe she might just do that,” Mrs

Dudley said.

What’s on

in

October

- - - - - - - -

Good question. Is it really the root of all evil?

I don’t believe all, but certainly when the

gaining of money is done for the wrong reasons,

it would seem to be at the base of a good many

things that are not right.

Illegal trafficking of every kind is all done for

the gain of money.

Many families, friends and business associates

have been divided over the issue of money when

one party has wanted more than their fair share.

Unfortunately, misrepresentation of why money

is needed for a cause, for example, is also commonplace

in today’s world.

With Christmas approaching, there is likely to

be an increase of advertising asking for financial

help with various projects.

It has come to my attention over the years that

many organisations that appear to be doing the

right thing, end up giving only a small percentage

of monies raised to the actual cause.

A quick search on the salaries of the leaders of

any organisation will give a good picture of how

much of your giving actually does go to the people

that need it.

Inflated salaries and lifestyles of some of these

leaders are a good indication that your giving

would be better utilised closer to home.

We live in a different world to when a man’s

handshake was a form of contract that was held to.

Advertising of all kinds bombards us daily, but

it’s not necessarily always a true picture of the

product or idea that is being sold.

What are our responsibilities in the light of this?

rules regarding e-devices.

“The State Government has

drafted new laws for e-devices

and the roll-out of this legislation

is being planned for November

2022.

“Given the above, we believe

the timing is not right to

undertake the trial.

"But we do believe it may be

an idea worth pursuing in the

future.

“These new laws would assist

with mitigating some of the risks

which were raised during our

survey period.

"Once residents have had

time to familiarise themselves

with the updated rules, we could

potentially look at a trial in

2023-24.

“While we won’t be pro-

Is money the root of all evil?

Firstly of course, is to ensure that we are honest

and upright in all our own dealings with money.

Even a small thing like pointing out that we’ve

been given too much change after a purchase,

mark us out as a person of integrity.

Secondly it is wise to do a little research before

giving to organisations that are not personally

know by us.

Giving to local struggling families or other local

entities that we know of first hand is a better

way of ensuring that our giving gets to the point

of actual need.

The source of this subject is found in 1 Timothy

6:10 “ For the love of money is the root of all

kinds of evil.”

Love is the key word here. If the love of money

causes you to be dishonest in your dealings with it,

then this Bible quote refers to it as evil.

Proverbs 11:1 gives us two sides of the picture:

“ A deceptive balance is an abomination to the

Lord; but a just weight is his delight.”

This positive aspect of giving is echoed in 2

Corinthians 9:7 “So let each one give as he purposes

in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity;

for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Dear God, I come before you today to ask that

you would create in me integrity and honesty in

my dealings with money; and to help me to give

willingly and cheerfully to the projects and causes

that you put on my heart.

I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

Georgie Somerset wins new term

as AgForce president

IMPORTANT AGRICULTURE IS VALUED

AgForce General

President Georgie Somerset

is celebrating an

election win, following

a hotly contested leadership

battle.

Mrs Somerset has

been president since

2018 and this was the

first time she was challenged

for the position.

She faced tough competition

from AgForce

Cattle Board President

William Wilson from

north Queensland

Mrs Somerset is a

beef cattle farmer from

Durong (west of Kingaroy),

and she said she

was proud to be able to

continue to represent

AgForce’s 6500 members

and thanked them

for their support.

“It is more important

than ever that agriculture

is valued as

we navigate global

pressures, biosecurity

threats to our industries,

and a climate conscious

community,” she said.

“In order to do this,

we need a strong industry

organisation that

can represent members

effectively on issues

beyond their individual

control.”

Following his defeat,

Mr Wilson will be

standing down from the

AgForce Cattle Board,

after four years as Director

and four years as

President.

Disease control adds to profits

There is no doubt

we have had plenty of

rain to grow this year’s

winter cereal crops like

wheat and barley.

However, it is never

all good news is it, with

foliar leaf diseases running

rampant in many

areas.

Wholesale fungicide

applications have been

made to many hectares

of cereal and pulse

crops.

As usual it is always

an expensive decision

about spraying protectant

fungicides or

not with future weather

conditions playing a

part.

I recall Nick Poole

of the FAR organisation

, who scientifically

informs and advises

many farmers and particularly

agronomists

about protecting the

money leaves from

Your local agent

By PAUL McINTOSH

Industry Development Agronomist - Northern region

For Pulse Australia and the Australian Herbicide

Resistance Initiative

stripe rust and other

fungal diseases.

In Queensland over

the decades, we generally

have had a much

reduced need to apply

fungicides on our traditional

winter cereals of

wheat and barley.

Nick, however, talks

about maximising and

optimising our economics

by keeping those top

three solar panel leaves

protected.

Nick knows his stuff

and he is talking about

the flag leaf as T1 and

the next two leaves

down the stem. Also he

cautions about planting

a susceptible variety,

strongly advocating

the top three particular

green leaves are protected

at that Growth

Stage 31 and 32 and

then protection of the

flag leaf at growth stage

39, with the gap of fungicide

applications to

not exceed four weeks.

Overuse of our fungicide

options is obviously

a waste of money

and also as many of us

believe, it leaves the

door open for fungicide

resistance to surface in

the future.

As I say in the many

talks I do on pesticide

resistance, fungicide

resistance is one type

of pesticide resistance I

am not looking forward

too.

This is a major reason

to select varieties

not classed as susceptible

or even moderately

Needing someone

to help with jobs

around the home?

A healthy wheat crop

susceptible to the host

of foliar diseases.

However listening

to Nick’s sage advice

and reading my written

words is easy to do.

But putting it in to

practice in our expected

high yielding paddocks

of wheat or barley is another

matter.

Much concern has

been voiced about

over-spraying or not

needed fungicide spraying

of our cereal crops.

Yet this is easy to

warn about and not easy

to say; ‘No to a fungicide

spray application’.

For the future I would

say it is a fair bet that

even if we get half a

season next winter, then

leaf disease could be on

the cards again.

So perhaps choose

your 2023 winter cereal

varieties a bit more

carefully than just accepting

what you have

in your silo.
