24.01.2022 Congratulations to artist Jenny McCracken and her team on doing an amazing job on the water tower in Walgett. A fantastic tribute to the great Jimmy Little. Was thrilled when Jimmy’s daughter Franny asked to use my B & w portrait. Even more thrilled to see the finished work.

22.01.2022 ‘HUNDREDS of thousands dollars’ worth of horses have been shot at a remote Northern Territory station by members of a sporting shooters’ association. Thirty of ...Killarney Station’s best horses, worth about $500,000, were shot by two members of the association on Sunday. ‘The members did not have permission to shoot in the area from Killarney’s managers or directors.’ 29 horses, there were. It was the SSAA’s NT branch, who had an arrangement with the station to rock on down and shoot. Pigs, not horses. The shooters were shown a map with the station in the middle, in the centre of a circle with a 10km radius. Told there was to be no banging inside the circle, to which they agreed. They found the horses 4.4km from the station centre, shot them all and then tried to drag some of the carcasses away and hide them before giving up, going back to the station and telling them they ‘maybe shot some horses they shouldn’t have’. ‘Killarney Station manager Jamie Laurisson said the station’s families and employees had been left rattled and dumbfounded. It was a mind-numbingly stupid, careless and reckless act, he said. ‘The horses were not shot in a humane or professional manner as one would expect from members of a shooters’ association. Initially (there was) shock and disbelief, then grief, anger, heartbreak and devastation. ‘Mr Laurisson said the station would be seeking compensation, with years’ worth of work having been put into breeding and training the horses.’ Nobody’s taking odds on whether they’re invited back. Half a million dollars’s worth of horseflesh. Not even dog food now. www.equiprove.com The equiprove Equine Intelligence Network collects, curates and connects Australian equine information.

19.01.2022 Congratulations Sarah. After creating a reworked version of the song ‘From Little Things, Big Things Grow’ by Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly during the COVID 19 loc...kdown, Sarah organised for the radio station to broadcast the song at certain times of the day, so students could be filmed singing the song. This footage was used to create a video of the students singing together, creating a sense of community amid social isolation. ARIA

15.01.2022 SANTA CLAUS GRANTED COVID-19 QUARANTINE EXEMPTION The global COVID-19 pandemic will not impede Santa or his helpers’ entry into NSW this Christmas, after ...he was granted a special "essential workers" exemption by NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard. Mr Hazzard said he had written to Mr Claus's North Pole address to say he and his elves and nine reindeers are not required to complete a 14-day isolation in hotel quarantine after their sleigh crosses the NSW border. "Mr Claus, I understand you have significant magical powers which allow you to travel the world safely without transmitting COVID-19," Mr Hazzard wrote in the letter. "I am aware you have safely delivered presents to children in Australia during previous pandemics and as a result I am confident you will take the necessary precautions to keep our community safe. "Accordingly, this exemption will include the following precautions: All presents will be delivered after bedtime to minimise contact; You and your elves maintain 1.5 metres physical distancing should you encounter others; If you are unwell, you get a COVID-19 test and isolate right away; You and your elves must wash your hands regularly and carry hand sanitiser; Wear a mask if you or your elves are ever unable to maintain physical distancing." The Minister's statement noted that a spokeswoman for Santa Claus confirmed receipt of the special exemption and said Santa and his helpers were only too happy to comply, having secured a jumbo supply of hand and hoof sanitiser to last their journey. "After a challenging year, Mr Claus wants this Christmas to be the best yet," she said.

03.01.2022 February 16th, 1942; Former Broken Hill residents, Sister Vivian Bullwinkel and Matron Irene Drummond, were amongst a group of 22 nurses who were ordered to wal...k into the waters off Banka Island, Indonesia, by Japanese soldiers. When the women were waist deep in the surf, still with their backs to land, they were shot down by their captor's on the shore. Sister Bullwinkel was the only survivor of the massacre. It is reported that, as the women walked into the water, Sister Bullwinkel said to her fellow nurses "Chin up girls, I'm proud of you and I love you."
