Community spirit alive and kicking<br />
One thing COVID-19 can’t lockdown is the support<br />
we’ve been receiving for our community. Just last<br />
week we delivered 300 food hampers to locals<br />
most in need thanks to a whopping 300kg meat<br />
donation from farmer Robert Mackenzie’s Mackas<br />
Angus Beef. We’ll also be collaborating with<br />
dedicated organisations to distribute hundreds<br />
more in the next couple of weeks.<br />
We’re distributing OzHarvest hampers next week<br />
to vulnerable residents and those experiencing<br />
hardship, plus 125 refugee families thanks to help<br />
from a specialised refugee centre. The hamper<br />
will include long-life milk, fruit, vegetables, oil,<br />
cereal, rice and canned food. Resilience NSW will<br />
supply wipes, face masks and hand sanitiser in each<br />
hamper.<br />
Families in the area have been doing it tough. With<br />
the shutdown of businesses, there have been many<br />
families who have no household income, but still<br />
have to pay bills. I’m glad we can pull together<br />
a gesture the community can appreciate and<br />
be proud of. I thank everyone involved for their<br />
support and generosity. If you know someone in<br />

Let’s reach 80% vaccination<br />
We’re aiming to be the first council area with<br />
80% of our population vaccinated. I’m calling<br />
on our community to roll up their sleeves<br />
and book a vaccination appointment as soon<br />
as possible so we can start rebuilding our<br />
community.<br />
We’re supporting business so we can bounce back post lockdown. For more information visit,<br />

Support for our local businesses<br />
I’m pleased that Council will waive all unpaid<br />
outdoor dining and goods on display application<br />
and licensing fees for the rest of this year. These<br />
fees are normally paid by businesses to council<br />
to have tables and chairs on the footpath or to<br />
display their goods on the footpath in front of their<br />
stores. We’ll also ensure that any of our commercial<br />
lessees are able to approach us to discuss rent<br />
deferral and relief options. This will provide them<br />
with some certainty over their businesses and their<br />
lease arrangements with us. We’ve provided a<br />
lot of information on our website for businesses<br />
– including regular webinars on how to access<br />
support. Our business engagement team is<br />
available to offer support.<br />
We are here for our residents and our local<br />
businesses, and I encourage all affected by<br />
COVID-19 to contact us or visit our web page.<br />
We’ve proven we’re a strong and resilient<br />
community and we will come through this again<br />
as we did before.<br />
We are tracking well as a state and have hit<br />
our 6 million target. Just this week our Prime<br />
Minister and Premier announced that zero<br />
cases isn’t the goal anymore – vaccination<br />
targets are. We’re very keen to contribute to<br />
this to see some easing of restrictions at the<br />
end of lockdown. Over 50% of people in NSW<br />
have had at least one dose. It’s a target my<br />
council and community want to keep on track.<br />
Our suburbs are major hotspots experiencing<br />
some of the toughest restrictions alongside<br />
an alarming increase in cases. Having 80% of<br />
our community vaccinated is the fastest and<br />
safest way out of this pandemic. Let’s roll up<br />
our sleeves and be that council from western<br />
Sydney who smashed their vaccination targets.<br />

Willow Grove fight lost<br />
“The people of <strong>Parra</strong>matta will not forgive or forget”, say heritage activists<br />
NICOLA BARTON<br />
parra news » Tuesday, <strong>August</strong> <strong>31</strong>, <strong>2021</strong><br />
The green ban imposed by the<br />
Construction, Forestry, Maritime,<br />
Mining and Energy Union<br />
(CFMEU) on <strong>Parra</strong>matta’s Willow Grove<br />
site was lifted last week.<br />
St Georges Terraces will be revitalised<br />
and incorporated in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
Powerhouse, however the historic,<br />
140-year-old Victorian Italianate Villa<br />
will be dismantled in the coming months,<br />
placed in storage and eventually relocated<br />
to a different site.<br />
Arts Minister Don Harwin said the<br />
CFMEU and others who have a clear interest<br />
in the future location of Willow Grove<br />
will be invited to participate.<br />
“The union’s decision to lift the ban<br />
comes after our lengthy discussions and I<br />
welcome it,” he said.<br />
“The government is looking forward<br />
to announcing the main contractor for<br />
the construction of the Powerhouse<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta in the near future.<br />
“Powerhouse <strong>Parra</strong>matta will be the<br />
first State cultural institution in western<br />
Sydney.<br />
Historic Willow Grove is to be relocated as construction gets underway on the Powerhouse <strong>Parra</strong>matta in the near future.<br />
“It will be a magnificent science and<br />
technology museum that will delight<br />
families and greatly contribute to the<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta community.”<br />
Museum Trust President, Peter Collins<br />
said: “This decision is without doubt the<br />
right one for the many communities of<br />
western Sydney and the NSW economy.”<br />
North <strong>Parra</strong>matta Residents Action<br />
Group (NPRAG) spokesperson Suzette<br />
Meade said the community “do not<br />
support Willow Grove’s relocation as a<br />
win for heritage and firmly believe it will<br />
lose all heritage significance when it’s<br />
removed from where it was built over a<br />
century ago”.<br />
“There has been nothing but total disrespect<br />
to <strong>Parra</strong>matta’s heritage under the<br />
Berejiklian Government,” she said.<br />
“The Berejiklian Government is a serial<br />
offender when it comes to outrageous<br />
heritage crimes in <strong>Parra</strong>matta. The people<br />
of <strong>Parra</strong>matta will not forgive or forget.”<br />
Ms Meade thanked the union and<br />
community for their tireless efforts.<br />
“To the people all over NSW that donated<br />
money to the Willow Grove court case,<br />
tied a heart on the fence, made signs and<br />
marched beside us – we thank you for your<br />
strong stand to demand better.”<br />
PUBLIC EXHIBITION<br />
Planning Proposal, draft site-specific Development Control Plan (DCP) and draft Planning Agreement<br />
for 135 George Street and 118 Harris Street, <strong>Parra</strong>matta (Albion Hotel site)<br />
The City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta is publicly exhibiting a<br />
Planning Proposal, with its respective draft<br />
site-specific DCP and draft Planning Agreement,<br />
for land at 135 George Street and 118 Harris<br />
Street, <strong>Parra</strong>matta (Albion Hotel site).<br />
The Planning Proposal seeks to amend the<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta Local Environmental Plan 2011<br />
(PLEP 2011) by:<br />
• Increasing the maximum building height<br />
(HOB) mapped control from 54 metres to<br />
144 metres (165.6 metres including the 15%<br />
design excellence bonus);<br />
• Increasing the maximum floor-space ratio (FSR)<br />
mapped control from 4∶1 to 10∶1 (11.5∶1 including<br />
the existing 15% design excellence bonus);<br />
• Inclusion of a site-specific clause providing a<br />
bonus FSR of 5% (i.e 0.5∶1) for High Performing<br />
Buildings (taking the total FSR to 12∶1);<br />
• Inclusion of a site-specific clause in relation to<br />
the requirement for minimum commercial floor<br />
space and allowing for additional commercial<br />
floor space to be exempt from the FSR control<br />
where the development doesn’t exceed a height<br />
of 165.6 metres;<br />
• Inclusion of a site-specific clause that applies<br />
the maximum car parking rates consistent<br />
with the <strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD Planning Proposal;<br />
• Inclusion of a site-specific clause that ensures<br />
no additional overshadowing to Experiment<br />
Farm between 10am and 2pm on 21 June.<br />
The draft site-specific DCP proposes detailed<br />
guidelines on built form, setbacks, building<br />
separation, public domain, access, parking,<br />
servicing and sustainability. This will be included<br />
as part of <strong>Parra</strong>matta DCP 2011 which can be<br />
accessed via Council’s website.<br />
The draft Planning Agreement is to enable Council<br />
to receive a monetary contribution towards<br />
community infrastructure in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD<br />
and also for the dedication of land, creation of<br />
public easements and public domain embellishment<br />
works within the site.<br />
Council has been authorised as the local<br />
plan-making authority as confirmed in the<br />
Gateway Determination.<br />
The planning proposal, draft plans and supporting<br />
information will be publicly exhibited from<br />
1 September to 30 September <strong>2021</strong>, and can<br />
be viewed at:<br />
• Council’s website: <strong>News</strong> | City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />

Drowning in mixed messaging<br />
We’re constantly told to trust the health<br />
advice, but I’d love to see the advice that<br />
gives the green light to weddings with five<br />
guests (vaccinated or not), yet won’t allow<br />
fully vaccinated people from separate<br />
households in <strong>Parra</strong>matta or Cumberland<br />
to have a picnic in a park.<br />
It’s not hard to see why people are confused<br />
and bewildered by some of the<br />
messaging at present.<br />
The virus is so dangerous you can’t see<br />
your grandkids.<br />
But here’s the good news: if your grandkid<br />
is getting married, no problem.<br />
It’s a total mess.<br />

When Westmead Hospital declared a<br />
yellow emergency last week, it provided<br />
an uncomfortable glimpse of what our future<br />
of living with COVID might look like.<br />
Perfection in a global pandemic is impossible.<br />
However, Westmead was forced<br />
to put a 24-hour pause on accepting new<br />
patients, source an extra 100 private beds<br />
and redirect cases as far as Wollongong<br />
for a simple reason: it was being overwhelmed.<br />
“We acknowledge we are no<br />
longer operating in a business-as-usual<br />
environment,” acting general manager<br />
Jenelle Matic wrote to staff.<br />
There’s no doubt our local health system<br />
is under pressure while western<br />
Sydney bears the majority of the state’s<br />
COVID caseload. Based on figures released<br />
by Health Minister Brad Hazzard,<br />
Westmead was managing 121 COVID<br />
cases in its wards, including 23 in Intensive<br />
Care units, as of mid-last week. Ambulances<br />
brought in 280 COVID patients<br />
over the preceding seven days. Staff have<br />
been handling hundreds more cases in<br />
the community.<br />
Despite these heroic efforts, there has<br />
obviously been a logjam transferring patients<br />
between settings.<br />
When paramedics have to ramp patients<br />
in the hospital car park for six hours, it’s a<br />

<strong>News</strong>...............................................1-17<br />
Business..........................................18<br />
Life & Style ...........................19-20<br />
sure sign the system has hit crisis point.<br />
It also raises the question: if this is what<br />
hospitals like Westmead look like under a<br />
lockdown scenario, what happens when<br />
Sydney opens up?<br />
Vaccination is our main tool to reduce<br />
community transmission. It’s good that<br />
50 per cent or more of adults have had<br />
their first dose across most of <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
LGA with Carlingford, Epping, Winston<br />
Hills and Toongabbie doing particularly<br />
well. Cumberland continues to run somewhat<br />
behind. Yet case numbers continue<br />
to rise and even Dr Kerry Chant warns<br />
they will go “way above” 1000 a day.<br />
The vaccination rate will max out at<br />
some point. Only now is the rollout beginning<br />
to extend to children. As other<br />
nations are finding, we’ll also need a<br />
booster strategy to combat vaccine waning<br />
effectiveness over time.<br />
This indicates our health system needs<br />
to be prepared. Many have more detailed<br />
working knowledge than me, but<br />
the key challenges are apparent. What<br />
are the projected case numbers that hospitals<br />
like Westmead will face in future?<br />
Do we have the necessary capacity – and<br />
importantly staff? Already, it’s taking too<br />
long to give many of our health and aged<br />
care workers the jab. Some paramedics<br />
Entertainment ....................21-27<br />
Business Directory .......28-29<br />
Auto...........................................30-<strong>31</strong><br />
are working 21-hour shifts. When busy<br />
health teams are forced to isolate for 14<br />
days due to COVID exposure, it places<br />
operations at risk.<br />
Hospital infrastructure is another issue<br />
along with workforce planning. Tragically,<br />
we’ve seen so many fatalities at<br />
hospitals like Liverpool, Nepean and St<br />
George where the virus seeped into non-<br />
COVID patients. So, what are the physical<br />
changes needed to expand capacity and<br />
make wards safe? Do we need to build<br />
new COVID-only hospitals or temporarily<br />
repurpose existing ones?<br />
Finally, how will we continue to care for<br />
other conditions that are a major cause<br />
of morbidity, including heart attacks and<br />
strokes? At Westmead, live donor transplants<br />
have reportedly been cancelled<br />
indefinitely as resources are diverted. But<br />
what is termed elective surgery is essential<br />
surgery if you’re the person requiring<br />
it.<br />
If you listen to the federal and state governments,<br />
moving to ease restrictions,<br />
the response is essentially “nothing to<br />
see here”. We all want to open up safely,<br />
but the Prime Minister and Premier can’t<br />
dismiss reasonable questions. We need<br />
to be vigilant now about what living with<br />
COVID means for our health system.<br />

A gift from the country<br />
Struggling Cumberland families in need supported by generous donations<br />
NICOLA BARTON<br />
In true Aussie spirit, kindness has<br />
been spread from the bush to the city<br />
as donated meat, fruit and vegetables<br />
were made into hearty meals for Cumberland<br />
residents in need.<br />
Mid North Coast beef farmer Robert<br />
Mackenzie from Mackas Beef donated<br />
300kg of angus beef mince, while Hilltop<br />
Fruit Market at Coleman Street, Merrylands,<br />
LJ Hooker Granville & Guildford,<br />
Cumberland City Councillor Joseph<br />
Rahme and two anonymous donors<br />
provided 300 boxes of fruit and vegetables.<br />
The food hampers comprised delicious<br />
shepherd’s pies and lasagnes made by a<br />
professional chef from the donated goods,<br />
as well as fresh fruit, vegetables and meat.<br />
This was packaged and delivered by<br />
Defence Force personnel to households in<br />
need who have been identified by police,<br />
local charities and Cumberland City<br />
Council.<br />
Cr Rahme, who led the project, said the<br />
joint initiative showed all parts of the<br />
Australian community coming together.<br />
“I’m very proud to see our local businesses,<br />
government, defence and the<br />
community coming together with our<br />
country cousins to provide for households<br />
in need,” he said.<br />
“When I started to spread the word,<br />
many local businesses were keen to jump<br />
on board.”<br />
Cr Rahme also gained the support of<br />
Trims Fresh Merrylands, Woolworths<br />
Merrylands and Bidfood Sydney, which<br />
all donated produce and Confoil Australia<br />
which donated trays and packaging<br />
Meat and Livestock Australia’s Sam<br />
Burke and resident Belinda Barakat were<br />
also instrumental in the initiative, as well<br />
as generous contributions from Bakers<br />
Delight Merrylands and local worker<br />
Cameron Simpson.<br />
Mr Mackenzie, from Salt Ash, north of<br />
Newcastle, said it was his opportunity to<br />
support the city that supported the bush.<br />
“The city always digs deep in times of<br />
flood, drought and bushfire for farmers<br />
and regional communities and this is an<br />
opportunity for us to give to the city during<br />
their time of need,” he said.<br />
Mayor Steve Christou said families in the<br />
area had been doing it tough, so the donation<br />
was welcomed.<br />
The Australian Defence Force helped package and deliver the donations.<br />

Westmead Private<br />
joins COVID battle<br />
NICOLA BARTON<br />
Westmead Private Hospital<br />
is joining the fight<br />
against COVID-19, as<br />
staff are deployed to assist the<br />
NSW Government’s response to<br />
the current outbreak.<br />
Private hospital staff will help<br />
support the large-scale vaccination<br />
effort currently underway and<br />
support workforce demands in the<br />
NSW public health system.<br />
A number of private hospitals<br />
across Greater Sydney including<br />
the Blue Mountains, Central Coast<br />
and Wollongong are putting their<br />
hands up to assist where possible.<br />
As a result, non-urgent elective<br />
surgery is being temporarily<br />
postponed at participating private<br />
hospitals.<br />
All emergency surgery and urgent<br />
elective surgery will continue to be<br />
performed during this challenging<br />
period and people who require<br />
emergency surgery will still have<br />
access to it.<br />
A NSW Health spokesperson<br />
said it acknowledges the critical<br />
importance of private hospitals in<br />
delivering timely and high-quality<br />
care for our communities and<br />
thanks them for their ongoing<br />
partnership in responding to the<br />
current pandemic.<br />
“These private hospitals have<br />
been conducting additional elective<br />
surgery on behalf of the public<br />
health system for patients who had<br />
their non-urgent elective surgery<br />
postponed in 2020, following a<br />
National Cabinet decision,” the<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
“Ensuring adequate system<br />
capacity as well as patient, staff and<br />
public safety will be key factors in<br />
the delivery of healthcare services<br />
during this time.<br />
“Patients due to receive nonurgent<br />
elective surgery impacted<br />
by these changes are being<br />
contacted and encouraged to<br />
seek medical attention should<br />
they experience a change in their<br />
condition so they can be reviewed<br />
and re-prioritised to a more urgent<br />
category if required.”<br />

Clinical Nurse Educator Kay<br />
Downie, who assisted at the Year<br />
12 vaccination rollout said it’s<br />
important for both private and<br />
public healthcare to work together<br />
to combat the virus that has devastated<br />
so many.<br />
“I worked in the post-vaccine<br />
observation area and was team<br />
leader for any medical emergencies,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I’m so proud of the thousands<br />
of teenagers doing their bit to help<br />

amazed at NSW’s ability to pull<br />
together a mass vaccination centre<br />
in five days.<br />
“It’s great to see such collaboration<br />
from both private and public<br />
sectors across all healthcare<br />
disciplines.<br />
“After seeing both sides of the<br />
fight – vaccination and Special<br />
Health Accommodation quarantine<br />
– it’s very clear that the<br />
COVID-19 situation is rapidly<br />
escalating here in NSW and I<br />
encourage all with the ability to do<br />
so to help out in any way they can<br />
and get vaccinated!”<br />

Baulkham Hills: Man charged after<br />
frightening incident with MP<br />
A man has been charged over the<br />
alleged intimidation of a senior government<br />
official in Baulkham Hills recently.<br />
About 3pm on Friday, <strong>August</strong> 20, the<br />
Member of Parliament (MP) was walking<br />
along Old Northern Road, Baulkham<br />
Hills, when he was approached by a man,<br />
not known to him.<br />
The man questioned the MP, recording<br />
the interaction on his mobile phone and<br />
allegedly continued to verbally abuse<br />
and intimidate him as he followed him to<br />
a nearby shopping centre.<br />
A 47-year-old man attempted to intervene<br />
and was also verbally abused.<br />
Officers from The Hills Police<br />
Area Command were notified and<br />
commenced an investigation.<br />
Following inquiries, detectives<br />
attended a unit on Old Northern Road,<br />
Baulkham Hills just after 5pm, and<br />
arrested a 35-year-old man.<br />
He was taken to Castle Hill Police<br />
Station and charged with two counts of<br />
‘stalk/intimidate intend fear physical<br />
harm’, and not ‘comply with noticed<br />
direction’.<br />
The man was granted conditional<br />
bail and was due to at <strong>Parra</strong>matta Local<br />
Court on Tuesday, <strong>August</strong> <strong>31</strong>.<br />
Wentworth Point: COVID positive<br />
man on the run finally located<br />
27-year-old Anthony Karam, who<br />
was wanted on an outstanding arrest<br />
warrant for multiple alleged breaches<br />
of the Public Health Order, was found at<br />
Wentworth Point and charged.<br />
Mr Karam tested positive to COVID-19<br />
and failed to isolate as directed by the<br />
Public Health Order.<br />
A warrant for his arrest was issued<br />
on <strong>August</strong> 20 but despite numerous<br />
attempts, police were unable to locate<br />
him.<br />
Following a public appeal for information,<br />
and extensive inquiries by officers<br />
attached to Bankstown Police Area<br />
Command, Mr Karam was arrested<br />
at a unit on Footbridge Boulevard,<br />
The HSC has been officially<br />
delayed, with exams to now start<br />
on November 9.<br />
It comes as the State Government<br />
reveals its plan for students to return to<br />
the classroom.<br />
The bad news for parents is that at-home<br />
learning will continue for another two<br />
months.<br />
Face-to-face learning in NSW will<br />
return on October 25 when Kindergarten<br />
and Year 1 students return to school.<br />
Other years will return progressively<br />
after that.<br />
“The return to school plan provides<br />
parents, teachers and students with<br />
certainty and a path forward for the<br />
return to face-to-face learning,” Ms<br />
Berejiklian said.<br />
“We know the last few months have<br />
been tough on the school community<br />
and we are deeply grateful to parents,<br />
teachers and students for the sacrifices<br />
you have made. Please continue to<br />
POLICE SNAPSHOT<br />

School plan confirmed<br />
protect our students by getting vaccinated<br />
as quickly as possible.”<br />
Minister for Education and Early<br />
Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell said<br />
the education and safety of students is<br />
essential.<br />
“The classroom is where students learn<br />
best and I thank the entire community<br />
for playing their role in this return by<br />
getting vaccinated,” Ms Mitchell said.<br />
The State Government has also<br />
confirmed that teachers must be vaccinated<br />
by November 8.<br />
Meanwhile, from this week authorised<br />
workers leaving either the <strong>Parra</strong>matta or<br />
Cumberland Local Government Areas<br />
for work must carry a permit issued by<br />
Service NSW.<br />
Those workers must have had at least<br />
one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by<br />
Monday, September 6 to continue working.<br />
A plan to accept rapid testing as an<br />
alternate to the vaccine was scrapped.

Julie Owens Bulletin<br />
Failed vaccine rollout<br />
putting hospitals at risk<br />
Western Sydney has been left behind by<br />
Scott Morrison’s vaccine rollout. Now our<br />
hospitals are being stretched to breaking<br />
point.<br />
Last week, three hospitals – Westmead, Blacktown and<br />
Nepean – were forced to turn away COVID patients.<br />
As daily case numbers have tipped over one thousand,<br />
there has also been a surge in the number of<br />
hospitalisations and people needing intensive care. At<br />
time of writing, there are 115 people in intensive care and<br />
43 people on ventilators.<br />
The overwhelming majority of people in intensive care<br />
are unvaccinated. Only 13% have received at least one<br />
dose of the COVID vaccine.<br />
COVID patients are now filling 1 in 5 intensive care beds<br />
in NSW and there is very little capacity left in intensive<br />
care units to cope with the expected rise in case<br />
numbers.<br />
Our hospital and community healthcare workers have<br />
been caught in the middle of this crisis. Doctors, nurses,<br />
paramedics and cleaners have taken huge personal risks<br />
and worked tirelessly to keep us safe since the beginning<br />
of the pandemic.<br />
Now they tell us they’re exhausted. Paramedics backed<br />
up outside hospitals in COVID exposed PPE don’t even<br />
have the opportunity to have a drink of water or go to<br />
the toilet.<br />
All these workers and the desperately ill patients filling<br />
up our hospital wards deserved much better. They<br />
deserved an effective vaccine rollout that gave everyone<br />
who wanted to get vaccinated the opportunity to do so.<br />
Six months into the rollout, I’m still getting calls every<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta needs vaccine<br />
hubs now<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta and surrounding suburbs have some of<br />
the highest<br />
COVID-19 cases and some of<br />
the lowest vaccination rates.<br />
Scan the<br />
QR code to sign<br />
the petition demanding<br />
more vaccination hubs in<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />
day from people who can’t book a vaccine appointment<br />
in their local area. Others tell me they’re facing a<br />
months long wait to get their first dose when it’s now a<br />
requirement for them to go to work.<br />
The NSW Government has announced an easing of<br />
restrictions for fully vaccinated people on 13 September.<br />
While I’m sure we’d all agree that we want to see the<br />
light at the end of the tunnel, only 20-29% on people in<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta and surrounding suburbs are fully vaccinated.<br />
With Westmead Hospital turning away COVID patients<br />
and setting up a makeshift unit to triage patients, it’s<br />
obvious that we urgently need access to more vaccines.<br />
That’s why I’m demanding that walk-in vaccination<br />
hubs be set up in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD and surrounding<br />
suburbs.<br />
The Morrison Government’s failure to secure enough<br />
vaccine supplies and get them where they’re most<br />
needed has put Western Sydney at greatest risk in this<br />
outbreak.<br />
If you think our state and federal governments should<br />
stop blaming Western Sydney for this outbreak and start<br />
working together to set up walk-in vaccination centres<br />
in <strong>Parra</strong>matta now, scan the QR code below to sign the<br />

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER<br />
Last week’s photo was taken at the<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta River walk, near Wilde<br />
Avenue.<br />
We’d like to wish all the Dads out<br />
there a very Happy Father’s Day for<br />
this Sunday. Times are tough at the<br />
moment, and there will be no huge<br />
Father’s Day celebrations or lunches,<br />
but for those lucky enough to be at home with<br />
their kids on this special day, we hope you have<br />
an awesome time. To those who can’t be with<br />
their kids, we’re thinking of you too!<br />
Bad look: In her Twitter bio, former<br />
Labor MP Emma Husar says “Tweet<br />
nicely or don’t tweet at all”. But it<br />
appears she doesn’t follow her own<br />
advice. She recently responded to a<br />
Tweet that asked “what annoys you or grates<br />
you most” about Prime Minister Scott Morrison.<br />
She replied: “That he is still breathing”. We think<br />
that’s pretty poor form.<br />

Space available in <strong>Parra</strong><br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD office vacancy rate reaches highest level in 11 years<br />
NICOLA BARTON<br />
The Property Council of Australia says<br />
the time is right for businesses looking<br />
to make their mark in <strong>Parra</strong>matta’s<br />
CBD, as premium office space becomes available.<br />
Due to the completion of new office accommodation,<br />
along with the withdrawal of a major<br />
tenant, significant premium office space has<br />
now freed up in one of Australia’s fastest growing<br />
office markets.<br />
The Property Council of Australia’s Western<br />
Sydney Regional Director Ross Grove said<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta was seeing a significant increase in<br />
its office vacancy rate as new buildings continued<br />
to come online.<br />
“This increase in supply, particularly at the<br />
premium level, will allow local businesses to<br />
re-evaluate what their office needs are, and<br />
free up opportunities to upgrade their presence<br />
in <strong>Parra</strong>matta,” he said.<br />
“<strong>Parra</strong>matta’s office future continues to be<br />
one of excitement with more than 100,000sqm<br />
coming online over the next six months,<br />
assuming the present restrictions ease over the<br />
short to medium term.”<br />
The Property Council of Australia’s Office<br />
Market report released recently reveals a 3.8<br />
per cent increase in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD office<br />
vacancy rate – the highest level seen since July<br />
2010.<br />
The change is attributed to 26,500sqm of<br />
supply additions and 7016sqm of net absorption,<br />
which in large part is reflected in the<br />
opening of 52 Smith Street, <strong>Parra</strong>matta and<br />
a decision from National Australia Bank to<br />
reshape its office presence across the country.<br />
Mr Grove said the coming completion of 6<br />
and 8 <strong>Parra</strong>matta Square, along with 6 Hassall<br />
Street would continue to add to <strong>Parra</strong>matta’s<br />
premium office space.<br />
“As these new opportunities come online, the<br />
future of some of our older office stock can be<br />
revisited,” he said.<br />
“<strong>Parra</strong>matta sits at the heart of a skilled and<br />
talented workforce, and the underlying infrastructure<br />
narrative will continue to position it<br />
as a destination for future investment.<br />
“As <strong>Parra</strong>matta Light Rail comes to completion,<br />
and early works begin for Sydney Metro<br />
West, this will be one of Australia’s most<br />
connected cities and an obvious inclusion on<br />
the shortlist for future business decisions.”<br />
A further 109,722sqm of office space is set to<br />
be delivered in the second half of <strong>2021</strong>, with<br />
61,899sqm of space due to come online in 2022.<br />
More office space is coming online in <strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />

You would click and collect your<br />
groceries, but would you do it for<br />
a new car?<br />
This is the question many locals,<br />
currently under strict COVID restrictions,<br />
are having to ask themselves, as they<br />
weigh up the new added risks of buying in<br />
lockdown.<br />
From limited supplies and long wait<br />
times to removing face-to-face negotiations<br />
and inspections, the time for buying<br />
a car is far from ideal.<br />
Oatlands resident Anthony Coorey<br />
knows first hand the challenges of buying<br />
a car in the current climate, after he<br />
bought a brand new Volkswagen without<br />
ever seeing it in person.<br />
With only two left of its kind in the state,<br />
he was told he had to be quick and so took<br />
the risky plunge to purchase the vehicle.<br />
“I didn’t even get to test drive the car,” he<br />
said.<br />
“This particular model is in high demand<br />
and there is a significant backlog, so I just<br />
had to trust my gut.”<br />
Mr Coorey said with the click and collect<br />
system, keys are left on the front seat and<br />
customers have a phone call with a sales<br />
rep to go through the car’s features.<br />
“What this means though is that you<br />
have to pay full price, I couldn’t negotiate,<br />
so I couldn’t get any extras thrown in<br />
LOCAL NEWS<br />
Click, collect and drive: How<br />
to buy a new car in lockdown<br />
NICOLA BARTON<br />
Anthony Coorey recently purchased a new car via click and collect.<br />
there, however they had no accessories left<br />
to give anyway!” he said.<br />
Whilst traditional visits to the showroom<br />
or dealership are currently out of the question,<br />
some dealerships are using technology<br />
in an attempt to boost consumer<br />
confidence. The NRMA says the ability to<br />
test drive is unlikely but that dealerships<br />
are “doing everything they can to create a<br />
thorough buying experience online”.<br />
This is being achieved through video<br />
calls to describe vehicle features and drive<br />
experience.<br />
The NRMA strongly recommends that<br />
you thoroughly research all aspects, take a<br />
good look at the pictures that accompany<br />
the ad, ask for a 360-degree walk-through<br />
via video and don’t be afraid to ask lots of<br />
questions.<br />
When it comes to buying privately,<br />
COVID Health Orders still apply.<br />
A NSW Health spokesperson reminded<br />
the community that the stay-at-home<br />
orders are designed to limit interaction<br />
between people from different households.<br />
“Please make practical and sensible decisions<br />
that will limit your risk of acquiring<br />
COVID-19,” the spokesperson said.<br />
NSW Health recommends that people<br />
make trips for essential shopping, including<br />
for purchasing a vehicle, as brief,<br />
COVID-safe and close to home as possible,<br />
especially in Local Government Areas of<br />
concern.<br />

Solving the working from home<br />
headaches one step at a time<br />
Here we are still in lockdown and<br />
“working from home”. What<br />
exactly does that mean? Let’s<br />
look at some things impacting working<br />
from home.<br />
Procrastination<br />
Morning: I’m tired, I’ll start a half hour<br />
late and make it up at lunch.<br />
Lunch: A person’s got to eat and take<br />
time to clear his head, I’ll knock-off a half<br />
hour later plus another 10 minutes from<br />
lunch.<br />
Knock-off: Man I’m tired, I’ll start<br />
earlier tomorrow.<br />
WW43815<br />
Distractions<br />
Your children, their children, the guy<br />
somewhere in the street who keeps<br />
pounding on his drum set without letup,<br />
the car with the noisy exhaust pipe being<br />
“warmed up” for 30 minutes before<br />
being driven, barking dogs who join<br />
one another around the neighbourhood<br />
in a parody of the nun’s chorus, white<br />
cockatoo mobs perching on the fence<br />
squawking in the dawn, midday and<br />
sundown encouraged by the neighbour<br />
who intermittently illegally feeds them.<br />
Children<br />
Enough said!<br />
Any of these things are what those<br />
running a business or working from<br />
home contend with on a daily basis.<br />
So, how do we deal with it? Try making<br />
a list of the things that are causing you a<br />
problem on one side of the page, leave at<br />

more than you can deliver is a danger<br />
this week. If you pace yourself and<br />
take practical baby steps, then you’ll get<br />
things done without too much confusion<br />
and chaos. Romance is also highlighted,<br />
as the planets amplify your relationship<br />
zones. Singles – do your best to distinguish<br />
between a soul mate connection<br />
and a dating disaster. If in doubt, let your<br />
intuition be your guide.<br />
ARIES<br />
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20<br />
Rambunctious Rams – you’re keen to<br />
call the shots but remember there’s a<br />
big difference between leading others<br />
and just being plain bossy. Domineering<br />
behaviour will lead to unnecessary dramas<br />
so slip on your humility hat, as Venus<br />
encourages you to be a consultative<br />
Lamb (especially in close relationships).<br />
The Sun and Mars urge you to establish<br />
a regular exercise routine and make<br />
healthier food choices. Green smoothies<br />
and chia cupcakes anyone?<br />
TAURUS<br />
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21<br />
It’s a good week to step in and take the<br />
initiative with a child, teenager or friend<br />
who is facing challenges. If you offer a<br />
positive, proactive solution (without<br />
being bossy or judgemental) then they<br />
might just accept your advice! When<br />
it comes to a paid or volunteer job, a<br />
practical step-by-step plan could lead to<br />
more work in the future. Be inspired by<br />
birthday great Beyonce: “Life isn’t about<br />
living without problems. Life is about<br />
solving problems.”<br />

Hey Twins … prepare for a split-personality<br />
kind of week! The Sun and Mars<br />
are visiting practical, earthy Virgo (and<br />
steady Saturn trines your ruler Mercury).<br />
But Mars opposes nebulous Neptune (in<br />
the opposite sign of Pisces). So things<br />
will tend to oscillate between organised<br />
calm and confusing chaos in the coming<br />
days. And beware fake news! Whether<br />
it’s from family, friends, work colleagues<br />
or the media, make sure you doublecheck<br />
all information that comes your<br />
way.<br />
Have you got a long list of domestic<br />
chores that you’ve been avoiding? With<br />
the planets activating your home zone,<br />
tackle the to-do list with extra energy<br />
and enthusiasm. But it would be wise<br />
to handle a feisty neighbour or family<br />
member with a double dose of diplomacy.<br />
And don’t fall into the trap of<br />
being side-tracked (or persuaded) into<br />
pursuing someone else’s agenda. Have<br />
the courage, conviction and fortitude<br />
to forge your own path and follow your<br />
own dreams.<br />
The stars favour communicating, social<br />
networking and multi-tasking to the<br />
max! You crave your comfortable Lion<br />
routines, but you need to shake them<br />
up with some creative thinking and adventurous<br />
ideas. And are you stuck in<br />
worry wart mode? Seek advice from an<br />
older friend or family member … someone<br />
whose wisdom and experience you<br />
respect. A problem shared is a problem<br />
halved. For some lucky singles, love<br />
could be as close as the girl or boy next<br />
door.<br />
The creative Sun and confident Mars<br />
are both moving through your sign (and<br />
Saturn trines your power planet Mercury<br />
at the moment). So you’ll be at your versatile<br />
Virgo best as you impress others<br />
with your methodical mind, broad general<br />
knowledge, multi-tasking skills and<br />
meticulous attention to detail. Which<br />
makes it a particularly suitable week to<br />
analyse evidence, power through paperwork,<br />
do research, edit work, revise<br />
projects, make decisions and problemsolve.<br />

With Mercury and Venus both visiting<br />
your sign, it will be hard for people<br />
to resist your Libran charms. If you ask<br />
for the moon and stars, others might just<br />
deliver. Singles – it’s a good time to attract<br />
your soul mate. So send out the<br />
appropriate signals, and then go after<br />
them! Mercury and Saturn also push you<br />
to build firm foundations for the future.<br />
As actress/comedienne (and birthday<br />
great) Lily Tomlin observes: “The road<br />
to success is always under construction.”<br />
This week, with Venus and Mercury<br />
visiting your seclusion zone, take a wellearned<br />
break from the madness around<br />
you and escape somewhere quiet where<br />
you can relax and rejuvenate. And rediscover<br />
your Scorpio vim, vigour and<br />
verve! The power of imagination is also<br />
on your side. You’ll find ideas and inspiration<br />
come from daydreaming and<br />
creative visualisation, as you retreat into<br />
your own private world. Strictly invitation<br />
only!<br />
When it comes to a relative or work<br />
colleague, you’ll have to dig deep if you<br />
want to decipher what’s really going on.<br />
Make sure you focus on verified facts,<br />
rather than vague hearsay. It is a good<br />
week to concentrate on your goals for<br />
the future. The more adventurous they<br />
are, the better. Be inspired by Beyonce<br />
(who turns 40 on Saturday). “I can never<br />
be safe; I always try and go against the<br />
grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing,<br />
I just set a higher goal.”<br />
Don’t hide your Capricorn light under<br />
a bushel! The Sun, Mars, Mercury and<br />
Venus are activating the highest part of<br />
your horoscope. So it’s time to communicate<br />
creatively, move mountains and<br />
make a real difference. Public speaking,<br />
performing, publishing and podcasting<br />
are favoured, as you showcase your<br />
leadership skills. Be inspired by birthday<br />
great, entertainer Freddie Mercury. “I always<br />
knew I was a star, and now the rest<br />
of the world seems to agree with me.”<br />

EARLY EDUCATION<br />
WITH KATH MCMURTRIE • ALFRED STREET<br />
EARLY EDUCATION CENTRE • 9637 2082<br />
Helping kids shine: Jumpstart your<br />
child’s learning via early education<br />
Early education is so much more<br />
than just ‘child minding.’<br />
Inspiring and passionate educators<br />
can be the key to a child’s success.<br />
Noticing and nurturing each child’s<br />
abilities, they play an integral role in<br />
helping them shine.<br />
Laying the foundations<br />
Early education sets the foundations<br />
for how children will learn in the future.<br />
Young children’s brains are still developing,<br />
making the first five years an extra<br />
important time.<br />
High-quality care at the start can shape<br />
thinking, language and math skills for<br />
the future.<br />
Supported and structured playtime<br />
Young children learn best through play<br />
– but that doesn’t mean that all fun-time<br />
is equal.<br />
A qualified teacher can guide playtime<br />
and provide the structure needed to<br />
learn and grow.<br />
Supported play gives children a chance<br />
to experiment, explore the world and, of<br />
course, have fun!<br />
A nurturing environment to learn and<br />
grow<br />
Learning is not only about academics,<br />
but also social and emotional development.<br />
Trained educators create a warm<br />
and inclusive environment, so all children<br />
feel welcome and supported.<br />
As children engage in groups, they<br />
can also develop emotional-regulation,<br />
social skills and positive relationships.<br />
Early Education is an opportunity to<br />
inspire, engage and encourage your<br />
child. At Alfred Street Early Education<br />
Centre, we offer nurturing, qualified,<br />
foundational support – and a boost to<br />
a brighter future. Contact 9637 2082 or<br />
visit alfredstreet.com.au to learn more.<br />

AUSSIE DRAMA<br />
FINDS A NEW HOME<br />
EMILY FESZCZUK<br />
If you are looking to escape lockdown<br />
for an hour or two then jump<br />
into the funny Aussie television drama,<br />
‘Five Bedrooms’.<br />
Once you have binged the first<br />
season, you can follow the second that has<br />
just premiered on the recently launched<br />
streaming service, Paramount Plus.<br />
With 35 years’ experience in the entertainment<br />
industry, cast member Doris<br />
Younane told <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong> that the story<br />
line is a special one.<br />
“It is about five very different people from<br />
different walks of life, in different financial<br />
positions who decide at a wedding to buy<br />
a house together,” Doris said.<br />
“It is a really clever idea, how they navigate<br />
the world within the house and how<br />
they become each other’s support systems.”<br />
Living in a share house when she studied<br />
at NIDA, Doris said she wouldn’t want<br />
to do it again but relates to her character<br />
Heather in real life.<br />
“I can relate to the feeling of a woman<br />
feeling a little invisible once you hit a certain<br />
age but she is braver than me and has<br />
a very sharp sense of humour,” she said.<br />
“She is beautifully written by Christine<br />
Bartlett and I haven’t had a character like<br />
this my entire career so I adore being her,<br />
plus she is the romance part of the show<br />
which I am liking.”<br />
Heather’s romance is heating up with<br />
Ben, who is played by Stephen Peacocke,<br />
another member of the talented Australian<br />
cast.<br />
“Stephen and I get on really well but he<br />
really is such a great actor which makes it<br />
easy for us with challenging scenes,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Australia is thanking me for him which<br />
is hilarious… the fact that they have explored<br />
a woman in her age group falling<br />
in love with a gorgeous guy like him in a<br />
very truthful way has restored some faith<br />
in relationships.”<br />
With filming underway of the third season,<br />
Doris said now is the perfect time to<br />
settle in at home and take a peek into the<br />
‘Five Bedrooms’.<br />
“There are some massive moments that<br />
will make you laugh and cry, as well as<br />
some challenges that are penciled beautifully<br />
by the writers including the wonderful<br />
Michael Lucas,” she said.<br />
Doris said there’s a few rules before sitting<br />
down to watch the series, which originally<br />
premiered on Channel 10.<br />
“Grab some popcorn, a little bit of wine<br />
and fall in love with some real people who<br />
are living life,” she said.<br />
‘Five Bedrooms’ is available to stream<br />
on Paramount Plus now. To sign up, visit<br />

TV NEWS<br />
Basketball is returning to 10 for the<br />
first time in six years, with the NBL signing<br />
a three-year deal with the network.<br />
The deal will see two games broadcast<br />
live each Sunday afternoon in a marquee<br />
timeslot during the NBL season, showcasing<br />
four hours of basketball action on<br />
10 Peach and streamed live in HD on 10<br />
Play, from 1pm. Last month, Foxtel also<br />
announced a new three-year agreement<br />
with the NBL and ESPN.<br />
Unsurprisingly both Channel Nine<br />
and Foxtel have decided not to air the<br />
final season of ‘Ellen’ from September.<br />
It’s understood the program costs too<br />
much to air here in Australia and it’s just<br />
not worth it largely due to Ellen’s decline<br />
in ratings and tarnished image of late.<br />
The new season of ‘Gogglebox<br />
Australia’ will premiere on Thursday,<br />
September 9 at 8.30pm on 10. There are<br />
plenty of changes to the cast this season,<br />
with best mates and physiotherapists<br />
Adam and Symon returning after a few<br />
years off. Two ‘Gogglebox’ families residing<br />
in Sydney’s hotspots, the Delpechitra<br />
and the Elias families, will sit out this<br />
NOVEMBER 12<br />
HOME SWEET HOME ALONE,<br />
DISNEY+<br />
SUNDAY AFTERNOONS BASKETBALL, 10<br />
season. The rest of the cast remains<br />
unchanged.<br />
Upcoming documentary series ‘Inside<br />
Central Station: Australia’s Busiest<br />
Railway’ will premiere on SBS on Sunday,<br />
September 12 at 7.30pm. The 10-part<br />
series, narrated by actor Shane Jacobson,<br />
has camera crews embedded at Sydney’s<br />
Central station, the Rail Operations Centre<br />
and on the tracks and platforms of the<br />
vast network.<br />
Good news for Stan subscribers with<br />
the streaming service inking a new deal<br />
with WarnerMedia for new television and<br />
film content.<br />
Japanese declutter goddess Marie<br />
Kondo is back with a new series on<br />
Netflix. ‘Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo’<br />
is a three-part series in which she assists<br />
people to improve their lifestyle. It drops<br />
this Tuesday, <strong>August</strong> <strong>31</strong>.<br />
New family comedy ‘Home Sweet<br />
Home Alone’, a new addition to the<br />
‘Home Alone’ film franchise, will debut<br />
on November 12 on Disney+. Max Mercer<br />
is a mischievous and resourceful young<br />
boy who has been left behind while his<br />
family is in Japan for the holidays. So<br />
when a married couple attempting to retrieve<br />
a priceless heirloom set their sights<br />
on the Mercer family’s home, it is up to<br />
Max to protect it from the trespassers.<br />
Some surprising news this week with<br />
Bryan Cranston legal drama ‘Your Honor’<br />
being renewed for a second season. There<br />
had previously been no plans for the<br />
show to return.<br />

AUTO<br />
Always the people’s car<br />
How the Toyota Corolla established itself as a market leader internationally<br />
NATHAN TAYLOR<br />
Toyota has sold its 50 millionth<br />
Corolla, cementing its position as<br />
the world’s most popular model.<br />
Over the course of the past 54 years,<br />
Australians have played a significant role<br />
in its success with more than 1.5 million<br />
Corollas sold locally.<br />
Australia was the first export market for<br />
Corolla when 15 examples of the small<br />
1.1-litre KE10 two-door sedan left the<br />
factory in Japan in November 1966.<br />
They went on sale here the following<br />
year and every generation since has been<br />
warmly embraced by Aussie car buyers.<br />
Toyota Australia Vice President Sales,<br />
Marketing and Franchise Operations,<br />
Sean Hanley, said the success of Corolla<br />
was built on its quality, durability and reliability<br />
and every owner had a story to tell.<br />
“For many people, the affordability,<br />
efficiency and fun-to-drive attitude that<br />
Corolla has always epitomised meant it<br />
was often a first car,” he said.<br />
“Among the millions of owners, there<br />
are more than a few fond memories and<br />
here in Australia it has been so warmly<br />
The 2018 Toyota Corolla ZR (front), SX (left), and Ascent Sport (right).<br />
received that it has become part of our<br />
cultural landscape.<br />
“We would like to thank those millions of<br />
people that have put their trust in Toyota<br />
and made Corolla the world’s most popular<br />
nameplate.”<br />
Such was the appeal of Japan’s “people’s<br />
car” in Australia that in 1968, Toyota<br />
started local assembly of the Corolla at a<br />
factory in Port Melbourne – the first such<br />
operation outside of Japan.<br />
Toyota Australia went on to build more<br />
than 666,000 Corollas until 1999 at factories<br />
in Port Melbourne, Dandenong and<br />
Altona.<br />
Australia was also the scene for Corolla’s<br />
first win in international motorsport with<br />
a class victory in the 1968 Hardi-Ferodo<br />
500 at Bathurst.<br />
This began a strong motorsport career<br />
for Corolla in Australian motorsport,<br />
which included winning the 2008 Australian<br />
Rally Championship in the hands of<br />
Neal Bates and Coral Taylor.<br />
The success of Corolla in Australia has<br />
been replicated across the globe. In 1997,<br />
it became the world’s most popular nameplate<br />
and last year, it was bought by more<br />
than 1.1 million customers.<br />
It is sold in more than 150 countries and<br />
regions at the rate of approximately one<br />
every 28 seconds over the past year and is<br />
produced at 12 plants across the world in<br />
Japan, Brazil, Venezuela, China, Pakistan,<br />
South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam,<br />
Turkey, US and the UK.<br />
Here in Australia, the car’s enduring<br />
reputation for quality, durability and reliability<br />
was a key attraction for its customers.<br />
In September 2007, 40 years after the<br />
original Corolla went on sale, it notched<br />
up its millionth sale.<br />
Since then, a further 500,000 Australian<br />
customers have bought a new Corolla with<br />
the car being the most popular passenger<br />
car in Australia for the past eight years.<br />
From the very beginning, Corolla was<br />
designed to be affordable, safe, efficient<br />
and practical with a fun to drive attitude. It<br />
is those qualities, along with its legendary<br />
reliability, that have won customers across<br />
the world.<br />

<strong>Parra</strong>matta scores Hackney coup<br />
NATHAN TAYLOR<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta’s chances of reaching<br />
the Finals for the first time since<br />
the 2018/19 season have received<br />
a significant boost after signing talented<br />
NSW and Penrith cricketer Ryan Hackney<br />
for the upcoming season.<br />
The 22-year-old left-hand batsman joins<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta after a sensational Grade<br />
career with Penrith, which started way<br />
back in 2013 as a young teenager.<br />
Hackney has been an important member<br />
of Penrith’s first grade team for a number<br />
of years, opening the batting when the<br />
Cats won the Belvidere Cup in 2019.<br />
Speaking with <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong> from a cricket<br />
camp in the Northern Territory, Hackney<br />
said it was a tough decision to leave<br />
Penrith for their western Sydney rival.<br />
“For me it was a pretty hard decision<br />
because I love Penrith and had some great<br />
memories there,” he said.<br />
“I’m a Penrith junior, so it was a tough<br />
decision in that regard, but I think for me<br />
and where my career is at, I really want<br />
to get the best of out myself and I feel at<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta I can do that.”<br />
Hackney, who’s been a member of the<br />
NSW Blues for a number of years, said he<br />
had several clubs chasing his signature<br />
for next season but a close friendship with<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta skipper Nick Bertus was the<br />
deciding factor.<br />
“I played a lot of Second XI for NSW with<br />
Nick Bertus and I feel the two of us batted<br />
really well together. I feel like we can<br />
help each other and win games of cricket<br />
together,” he said.<br />
“There were other clubs in the mix, but<br />
I’m pretty good mates with Bert off the<br />
field, so I think that will help make the<br />
transition a little easier too.”<br />
Before Hackney straps on the pads for<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta, he’ll spend the next few<br />
months playing for Ipswich, alongside<br />
Bertus, in the strong Brisbane competition.<br />
With summer’s cricket season still in<br />
limbo here in NSW due to the lockdown,<br />
Hackney will use his time in the Sunshine<br />
State to strengthen his connection with<br />
Bertus.<br />
“We’re really looking forward to playing<br />
in Brisbane because the standard up there<br />
is pretty good as there’s only 12 teams<br />
while Sydney has 20,” Hackney said.<br />
“The depth of players is a lot stronger, so<br />
I’m really looking forward to it.”<br />
Ryan Hackney has left Penrith to join <strong>Parra</strong>matta for the upcoming cricket season.<br />
