Premier’s election pledge<br />
$5 million boost for local Maronite community if Liberals win State Election<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
As the NSW Liberal Party continues to<br />
fight to keep <strong>Parra</strong>matta blue ahead<br />
of the State Election, NSW Premier<br />
Dominic Perrottet has made another visit to<br />
the seat to pledge an investment in the local<br />
Maronite community.<br />
If re-elected, the NSW Government has<br />
promised $5 million to assist the growing<br />
Maronite community in <strong>Parra</strong>matta. The<br />
funding would go towards supporting the<br />
continued refurbishment and upgrade of the<br />
Our Lady of Lebanon Co-Cathedral precinct<br />
in Harris Park.<br />
The Maronite College is also set to receive<br />
an additional $100,000 for the installation<br />
of solar panels, to help reduce the school’s<br />
energy bills and make it more environmentally<br />
sustainable.<br />
Perrottet visited Our Lady of Lebanon<br />
Co-Cathedral in Harris Park to make the<br />
announcement, before he dropped by the<br />
Maronite College of the Holy Family, where<br />
students waving the Australian flag gave the<br />
NSW Premier a very warm welcome.<br />
Perrottet said the Maronite community have<br />
always been a “passionate” group of people<br />
and that the additional funding will help the<br />
tens of thousands of Maronite community<br />
members who visit the Harris Park area.<br />
“These facilities are a critical community<br />
Dominic Perrottet, Mark Coure, Katie Mullens and current State Member for <strong>Parra</strong>matta Geoff Lee with representatives of the Our Lady of<br />
Lebanon Co-Cathedral. Photo: Melissa Stevens.<br />
hub, and our investment will help the Parish<br />
accommodate the growing Maronite community,”<br />
he said.<br />
Also visiting the sites was Minister for<br />
Multiculturalism Mark Coure, who said the<br />
Maronite community has “always contributed”<br />
to the state since the 1800s to make it a<br />
great place to live.<br />
“Whether it be through charities, community<br />
organisations or volunteering, the Maronite<br />
community is a remarkable representation of<br />
our multicultural and multi-faith society, and<br />
this is our investing back,” he said.<br />
NSW Liberal Candidate for <strong>Parra</strong>matta Katie<br />
Mullens called the funding a “big win” for the<br />
local Maronite community.<br />
“Only the Perrottet Liberal Government has<br />
a plan and vision to help support our growing<br />
communities,” Mullens said.<br />
“Our strong economic management allows<br />
us to invest in community facilities and<br />
services for our community, with the experience<br />
and leadership needed to make sure they<br />
are delivered.<br />
“The Maronites have played a huge part in<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta’s history and development. This<br />
investment will help realise our vision for this<br />
important community precinct.”<br />
Bishop of the Maronite Catholic Eparchy<br />
of Saint Maron of Sydney Antoine-Charbel<br />
Tarabay also welcomed the announcement<br />
from the Premier.<br />
“Funding will help us to continue serving<br />
the Maronite community in Harris Park and<br />
surrounds, and will enable us to meet the<br />
needs of our growing community,” he said.<br />
Labor’s candidate for <strong>Parra</strong>matta Donna<br />
Davis was contacted for comment but no<br />
response was received by the deadline.<br />

Life bans not the answer to racism<br />
Now that emotions have been tempered a<br />
little in the wake of last week’s racism drama<br />
surrounding South Sydney star Latrell Mitchell<br />
at Penrith, can we accept that banning a<br />
teenage boy from rugby league games for life<br />
would be over the top in the extreme?<br />
There is no place for racism in rugby league,<br />
or in any area of life for that matter. It continues<br />
to baffle me that we deal with such matters<br />
in <strong>2023</strong>, yet here we are.<br />
Indeed, Mitchell should not come to Penrith<br />
and be subjected to what is alleged to have<br />
happened last Thursday night. That, surely, we<br />
can all agree on.<br />
And it is understandable that emotions were<br />
Guest Columnist<br />
Liberal Candidate for <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
My name is Katie Mullens and I’m the local<br />
Liberal Candidate for the state seat of <strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />
I have lived in <strong>Parra</strong>matta most of my adult<br />
life.<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta is my home and I am passionate<br />
about this electorate.<br />
I am the first person in my family to get a<br />
university degree. I grew up in a small country<br />
town and moved to <strong>Parra</strong>matta to study law<br />
at our local university and build my future.<br />
Since graduating, I have worked as a lawyer<br />
at a North <strong>Parra</strong>matta firm, helping local residents,<br />
families, and small businesses. Working<br />
to help the local community has been<br />
really inspiring, and helped motivate me to<br />
put my hand up as the Liberal candidate for<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />
My desire is to be a true advocate and representative<br />
for the community. Working as a<br />
lawyer has given me a lived grass roots experience<br />
in the community and I know this will<br />
translate well to representing the community<br />
on as broader scale.<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta is a wonderful place to live and I<br />
have seen the transformation of this city and<br />
electorate since it became a Liberal held seat<br />
in 2011. Our current local Member Geoff Lee<br />
through the NSW Liberal Party has delivered<br />

high in the 24 hours that followed the incident<br />
at the foot of the Mountains.<br />
On the night, Souths coach Jason Demetriou<br />
erupted in support of his player, and called<br />
for a life ban for the individual who allegedly<br />
made the remark.<br />
The next day, NRL CEO Andrew Abdo labelled<br />
the incident unacceptable and said action<br />
would be taken.<br />
The rugby league fan base, and the wider<br />
community, also piled on, with this ‘life ban’<br />
term continually thrown about.<br />
A ‘life ban’ is the easy way out of the scenario<br />
and a robotic response to dealing with such<br />
issues.<br />
Katie Mullens<br />
record billions of dollars in transformative<br />
projects and infrastructure to <strong>Parra</strong>matta,<br />
including things like the Stadium which is<br />
bringing crowds and business to <strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />
The Liberal Party continues to deliver to the<br />
community in an exciting and innovative way.<br />
There are so many works in the pipeline that<br />
I am excited to see completed, such as <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
Light Rail Stages 1 and 2, the Metro,<br />
Powerhouse, investment into Westmead Hospital,<br />
upgrades to the Riverside Theatres and<br />
more.<br />
One of the greatest things about <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
is our community. It’s warm and welcoming,<br />
embracing so many who come here from all<br />
over Australia and the world. Our diversity is<br />
something to be celebrated and a re-elected<br />
Liberal government will be doing just that. We<br />
have announced $10 million dollars in additional<br />
security for places of worship, schools<br />
and other buildings that display religious<br />
icons. We will invest $5 million to assist the<br />
Maronite community by supporting the continued<br />
refurbishment and upgrade of Our<br />
Lady of Lebanon Co-Cathedral precinct! We<br />
will invest into the Maronite College will also<br />
receive an additional $100,000 for the installation<br />
of solar panels.<br />

This is a sport that welcomes back into its<br />
fold convicted criminals, and bans drug users<br />
who impact the integrity of the sport for just a<br />
few years, not life.<br />
It would be hypocritical then, surely, to issue<br />
a life ban to a spectator for a remark he allegedly<br />
made; a remark that is disgraceful in the<br />
extreme, but certainly not up there with some<br />
rugby league ‘crimes’ of the past.<br />
Rugby league is a sport that prides itself on<br />
education and second chances.<br />
Just because a ‘life ban’ sounds like the right<br />
language to use to make it loud and clear<br />
you’re against what happened, does not mean<br />
it’s the right course of action.<br />
Why you should give me a chance<br />
work to recognise and revitalise Little India<br />
Harris Park as a cultural precinct through a<br />
$1 million investment. As part of this commitment<br />
a NSW Government application will be<br />
made to the Geographical Names Board to officially<br />
recognise Marion Street, Wigram Street<br />
and Station Street East as ‘Little India’ in the<br />
first month of a new term. I am excited to be<br />
part of a team that places value on our multicultural<br />
society and invests in it.<br />
The top issue that comes up most of the time<br />
when I’m out in the community is people’s<br />
worries about their economic security. Increasing<br />
rates, inflation and global economic<br />
uncertainty is having an impact on our businesses<br />
and family budgets. This is why I think<br />
one of the most important challenges facing<br />
the Government is steering our economy and<br />
keeping it strong. The Perrottet Government<br />
has introduced a range of practical support<br />
to ease pressure on family’s budgets, including<br />
Toll Relief, Back to School vouchers and<br />
an energy saver scheme that will reduce your<br />
electricity bill by $250.<br />
On <strong>March</strong> 25 <strong>2023</strong> I seek your support to give<br />
me the opportunity to continue the good work<br />
of Geoff Lee, and also to be a new strong advocate<br />
for the community. Give me a chance – I<br />
will not let you down.<br />

Westmead scores clinic<br />
New urgent care clinic at Westmead to help ease pressure on “overworked” staff<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
The Federal Government has<br />
announced a new urgent care centre<br />
will be located in Westmead to help<br />
relieve the pressure on emergency departments.<br />
As part of Prime Minister Anthony<br />
Albanese’s Federal Election promise, <strong>14</strong> out<br />
of 50 new urgent care centres are set to make<br />
NSW its new home, including one at Westmead<br />
Hospital.<br />
Open for extended hours seven days a<br />
week, the Medicare urgent care clinics will<br />
provide bulk billed treatment for urgent but<br />
non-life-threatening emergencies.<br />
Designed to help patients get timely,<br />
high-quality healthcare, the urgent care<br />
clinics will look to ease the rising pressure on<br />
NSW hospitals.<br />
The announcement comes after the Bureau<br />
of Health Information (BHI) released its latest<br />
Healthcare Quarterly report, revealing that<br />
emergency departments experienced “near<br />
record demand” from October to December<br />
2022.<br />
At Westmead Hospital only 37 per cent<br />
of patients received treatment on time, a<br />
decrease of 12.5 per cent compared to the<br />
same quarter in the previous year, with<br />
semi-urgent or non-urgent presentations<br />
making up 32 per cent of all presentations at<br />
Westmead will get a new urgent care clinic to help ease some of the pressure on Westmead<br />
Hospital’s emergency department. Photo: Melissa Stevens.<br />
the emergency department.<br />
The report also revealed 29 per cent of<br />
patients who arrived at Westmead Hospital’s<br />
emergency department waited over 30<br />
minutes to be transferred into care of emergency<br />
department staff.<br />
Federal Member for <strong>Parra</strong>matta, Dr Andrew<br />
Charlton said an urgent care clinic in Westmead<br />
will help take some of the pressure off<br />
overworked and overstretched emergency<br />
department staff.<br />
“This clinic will help relieve some of the<br />
immense pressure in the emergency department<br />
at one of Australia’s biggest hospitals,<br />
Westmead Hospital,” he said.<br />
“With an Urgent Care Clinic in Westmead,<br />
we will see some of the pressure ease and wait<br />
times decrease while helping make sure those<br />
who need non-serious urgent treatment get it<br />
better and sooner.”<br />
Medicare urgent care clinics will also be<br />
established in other key areas, including<br />
Penrith, Blacktown and Campbelltown.<br />
An Expression of Interest (EOI) will be run by<br />
Andrew Charlton said an urgent care<br />
clinic in Westmead will help “overworked”<br />
emergency department staff.<br />
Photo: Melissa Stevens.<br />
the relevant NSW Primary Health Networks<br />
from <strong>March</strong> 2 to help inform the location of<br />
these urgent care clinics, with submissions<br />
set to close on April 12.<br />
Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark<br />
Butler said Medicare urgent care clinics<br />
are just one way the Federal Government is<br />
“ensuring Australians get the medical care<br />
they need when they need it”.<br />
He added that the Federal Government is<br />
committed to having the urgent care clinics<br />
across Australia operating this year.<br />

Mums and babies stay together<br />
thanks to new Westmead project<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
Pregnant women and new mothers<br />
suffering from mental illnesses will<br />
soon have access to specialist care<br />
without fear of being separated from their<br />
babies, thanks to Westmead Hospital’s new<br />
unit.<br />
The state’s second purpose-built Mother<br />
and Baby Unit (MBU) is expected to be fully<br />
operatable at Westmead Hospital as of next<br />
month.<br />
The new facility is designed to keep families<br />
together when a mother requires hospitalisation<br />
for a severe perinatal mental illness.<br />
Based at Redbank House, the eight bed unit<br />
will be staffed by specialist perinatal health<br />
professionals who can attend to the mental<br />
health needs of the mother, as well as facilitate<br />
appropriate care of the baby and promote<br />
positive mother-baby interactions.<br />
The new unit will enable up to 120 women<br />
each year to receive specialist multi-disciplinary<br />
mental health care providing access<br />
to maternity, obstetric, paediatric and other<br />
medical services.<br />
Professor Bill Brakoulias, Mental Health<br />
Executive Director at Western Sydney Local<br />
Health District, said the Westmead MBU<br />
is a welcome addition to the mental health<br />
services delivered in western Sydney.<br />
Dominic Perrottet, Bronnie Taylor and Katie Mullens at the opening<br />
of the new unit. Photo: Toby Zerna.<br />
“Greater western Sydney is a rapidly growing<br />
region with the highest birth rate in NSW,”<br />
Brakoulias said.<br />
“The proportion of women receiving antenatal<br />
care in the first trimester is high and<br />
regular antenatal care is associated with<br />
better maternal health in pregnancy, fewer<br />
interventions in late pregnancy and positive<br />
child health outcomes.”<br />
The service will be available to western<br />
Sydney residents, as well as those from other<br />
metro, rural and regional areas in NSW.<br />
Each bedroom is large enough to accommodate<br />
a mother, their baby and a partner,<br />
and has been specially designed to meet<br />
different levels of care, as well as to create a<br />
family-friendly environment.<br />
The unit will also offer patients a landscaped<br />
outdoor area for exercise, relaxation<br />
and family visits and will also include space<br />
and equipment for antenatal care, a 24-hour<br />
respite nursery, a parent craft room, a retreat<br />
room and consultation and group therapy<br />
rooms.<br />

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, Minister<br />
for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor and Liberal<br />
Candidate for <strong>Parra</strong>matta Katie Mullens<br />
recently visited the new facility and the unit’s<br />
specialist team.<br />
“This is an important next step in mental<br />
health services for the <strong>Parra</strong>matta area,”<br />
Mullens said.<br />
“It’s investments like this which make a<br />
huge difference [to ensure] the current and<br />
future healthcare needs of the <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
and broader community are met.”<br />

Darley makes a splash<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta Councillor takes to the pool for Laps for Life fundraising initiative<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
A<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta Councillor is swimming<br />
to save lives this month as part of the<br />
Laps for Life fundraiser.<br />
Throughout <strong>March</strong>, local Councillor Kellie<br />
Darley will be diving into Epping Aquatic<br />
Centre to help make sure young people in<br />
Australia have the mental health support they<br />
urgently need.<br />
Kicking off her Laps for Life fundraiser,<br />
Darley will be raising vital funds for Reach<br />
Out.<br />
Anonymous and confidential, ReachOut<br />
is a safe place that provides a wide range of<br />
support options that allow young people to<br />
engage in the ways they want to, when they<br />
want to.<br />
With more than one in three young people<br />
experiencing mental health difficulties, and<br />
suicide remaining the leading cause of death<br />
for young Australians aged 16 to 24, Darley<br />
knew Laps for Life was something she had to<br />
get involved with.<br />
“I was shocked when I found out how many<br />
young people die every year from suicide,”<br />
Darley told <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
“I’ve been swimming for my own mental<br />
health and for exercise at Epping Pool and I<br />
just thought [Laps for Life] was a great way to<br />
raise awareness of the need for more mental<br />
health services for young people.”<br />
Kellie Darley is taking part in the Laps for Life fundraiser.<br />
Darley has committed to swimming an<br />
average of 10 laps a day, which will be about<br />
15km in total for the month. And although<br />
she said she’s feeling quite sore from all the<br />
swimming, Darley has found it has already<br />
significantly helped with her own mental<br />
health.<br />
“It’s just lovely, particularly the Epping Pool,<br />
to spend half an hour, 40 minutes, in the water<br />
for just some down time from everything else<br />
going on,” she said.<br />
“I’ve let my health go, which can happen<br />
particularly as a mum and being a new Councillor,<br />
and there’s not enough hours in the day<br />
so I really wanted to prioritise my health this<br />
year and at the same time raise money for a<br />
really great cause.”<br />
Having already surpassed her initial<br />
fundraising target of $600, Darley has been<br />
amazed at the support she has received from<br />
the community so far.<br />
She’s now encouraging more people to help<br />
save lives by donating to her fundraiser to<br />
improve mental health services for young<br />
people.<br />
“These are preventable deaths, 400 kids<br />
every year and you think about all the families..<br />
I would hate to be a parent who loses<br />
their child to suicide, it would just be horrific,”<br />
she said.<br />
“So, even just starting that conversation<br />
[and] people being aware of the services<br />
available, particularly parents whose kids are<br />
moving into their teenage years and just what<br />
helps there, is all really important.”<br />

Volcano’s set for major facelift Call to address work shortages<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
An artist’s impression of the proposed new look for Volcano’s Steakhouse.<br />
Image: Faculty Design.<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
Popular <strong>Parra</strong>matta restaurant Volcano’s<br />
Steakhouse is set for a major<br />
facelift, with new additions on its<br />
way.<br />
Known for its fresh flavours and quality<br />
dishes, Volcano’s Steakhouse has recently<br />
lodged plans with the City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta for<br />
a whole new look.<br />
If the Development Application (DA) is<br />
approved, the steakhouse would receive a<br />
new fit out of the existing seating area and<br />
minor cosmetic changes to the façade of the<br />
restaurant. The changes would see a slight<br />
decrease in seats from 90 to 84.<br />
The new look has been designed by Faculty<br />
Design, a team of designers who specialise<br />
in retail and hospitality. The Statement of<br />
Environmental Effects said the proposed<br />
upgrades have been designed in a way that<br />
complements the location and will not create<br />
an eye sore to the surrounding area.<br />
Located at 311 Church Street, Volcano’s<br />
Steakhouse <strong>Parra</strong>matta is locally owned<br />
and operated. Its menu is full of classic<br />
steakhouse favourites, from T-bone to<br />
porterhouse. Visitors to the restaurant are<br />
also able to enjoy ordering from a range of<br />
burgers, ribs, salads and chicken dishes.<br />
The DA comes after businesses along<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta’s Church Street were heavily<br />
impacted by COVID, as well as by the<br />
construction of the Light Rail, with many<br />
reporting a decrease among their patronage.<br />
Business NSW, the peak policy and<br />
advocacy body that represents NSW<br />
businesses, is calling on the State<br />
and Federal Government to improve international<br />
students’ work hours.<br />
In January 2022, student work visa restrictions<br />
were completely removed to allow<br />
primary and secondary student visa holders<br />
to work over their normal limit of 40 hours<br />
per fortnight, in an effort to address workforce<br />
shortages.<br />
As of July 1 these restrictions will return<br />
for student visa holders, but capped at the<br />
increased rate of 48 hours per week.<br />
A further change means selected new and<br />
existing international graduate visa holders<br />
will also now be eligible to work for four years<br />
post-graduation, an increase from two years.<br />
Although Business NSW welcomes these<br />
changes, CEO Dan Hunter said more still<br />
needs to be done to address workforce shortages.<br />
“With a record number of job vacancies<br />
in NSW, nine in 10 businesses are unable to<br />
recruit staff they need to keep their doors<br />
open,” Hunter said.<br />
“We’ve all heard about businesses being<br />
forced to close early, reduce their trading<br />
days or shut their doors completely because<br />
they don’t have enough staff.<br />
“With businesses already juggling interest<br />
rate rises, ballooning energy costs and supply<br />
chain problems, labour shortage relief would<br />
be more than welcome.”<br />
As part of its ‘We Mean Business’ election<br />
campaign, Business NSW is now urging<br />
the State and Federal Government to work<br />
Business NSW CEO Dan Hunter said more<br />
needs to be done to fix the worker shortage.<br />
together to expand the NSW Skilled Visa<br />
Nomination program from 15,000 to at least<br />
30,000 places.<br />
“Businesses need to be able to operate<br />
without being handcuffed by a people and<br />
skills shortage,” Hunter said.<br />
The ‘We Mean Business’ policy platform<br />
represents the collective views of businesses,<br />
representing industries, sectors and economies<br />
right across the state of NSW.<br />

TURNING BACK TIME<br />
This throwback to James<br />
Ruse Agricultural High<br />
School was taken in the<br />
1960s! The photo captures<br />
the young boys as they<br />
participate in a school council<br />
session.<br />
James Ruse Agricultural<br />
High School is one of four<br />
agricultural high schools in<br />
NSW established in 1959 as a<br />
boys’ high school offering the<br />
opportunity for metropolitan<br />
students to study agriculture<br />
as part of their secondary<br />
school studies.<br />
The prestigious school<br />
became co-educational in<br />
1977 and is the one agricultural<br />
high school that operates<br />
for day students only.<br />
James Ruse Agricultural<br />
High School was recently<br />
named the best ranked<br />
school in western Sydney<br />
for its NAPLAN results, as<br />
well as the number one high<br />
school in NSW for the HSC for<br />
the 27th consecutive year.<br />

Having never cruised before, I will<br />
admit that I may have assumed<br />
that cruise ships were full of older<br />
people playing bingo but as I found myself at<br />
a nightclub on Deck 18 at 1am that pre-conceived<br />
notion was quickly overcome.<br />
Taking it back a step to when I was invited<br />
to board P&O’s Pacific Adventure for a fournight<br />
getaway to Moreton Island, I never<br />
could have imagined how much is on offer on<br />
each level of what is essentially a floating hotel<br />
and resort.<br />
Following over 2,600 lanyard wearing<br />
guests, I was quick to grab the first of many<br />
strawberry daiquiris and head to the sail away<br />
party where we witnessed the stunning sight<br />
of barely scraping under the Sydney Harbour<br />
Bridge.<br />
With 21 dining options available there is a<br />
lot to try, and 400 Gradi by award-winning<br />
Melbourne chef Johnny Di Francesco was<br />
a delicious choice to load up on authentic<br />
Italian before setting out to discover all the<br />
different and stylishly designed corners of the<br />
ship, including one of the stage shows on each<br />
night.<br />
TRAVEL<br />
P&O PACIFIC ADVENTURE<br />
Words: Emily Feszczuk | Photos: Supplied | More Info: www.pocruises.com.au<br />
“I NEVER COULD HAVE<br />
IMAGINED HOW MUCH IS<br />
ON OFFER ON EACH LEVEL<br />
OF WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY<br />
A FLOATING HOTEL AND<br />
RESORT”<br />
After a peaceful sleep with the newfound<br />
sensation of being gently rocked by the<br />
ocean, we took in the vast blue view from our<br />
comfortable balcony room and then went up<br />
to the main deck to see it in all its glory.<br />
The seasoned travellers set up on their deck<br />
chairs early and it is easy to see how people<br />
can spend their whole holiday in the Oasis<br />
adults only pool area or the Magrodome<br />
family area, not to mention the dual racing<br />
waterslides which were a hit for everyone,<br />
regardless of age.<br />
Wanting to immerse myself in the experience,<br />
I bought my bingo tickets, my lucky<br />
dabber and as I joined a full lively theatre, I<br />
discovered how fun it is thinking you are just<br />
one legs 11 away from winning a cash prize<br />
(spoiler – I didn’t win).<br />
The rest of the afternoon was spent by taking<br />
a cocktail class in a charming hole-in-thewall<br />
bar, getting some lunch from The Pantry<br />
which has a range of cuisines in a buffet style<br />
and spending more time screaming than<br />
taking in the view as I (reluctantly) ziplined<br />
across the top of the ship, which is a must do<br />
for adrenaline seekers.<br />
The Gatsby themed night saw as equally as<br />
many feather boas as a Harry Styles concert<br />
and it was the perfect attire to witness the<br />
very cheeky and cabaret style show – Blanc de<br />
Blanc, Uncorked!<br />
After some more delicious drinks, and a late<br />
comedy show we found ourselves at the Altitude<br />
nightclub which parties all night long but<br />
is a convenient easy walk back to your room.<br />
Trying to fit in every session of trivia and<br />
karaoke at the Adventure hotel meant that<br />
a day of relaxation was needed which came<br />
when we had a shore day where people<br />
ventured out to Tangalooma Island Resort.<br />
Taking advantage of a noticeably quieter<br />
ship, we spent the day at the Byron Beach<br />
Club which is a private access area for guests<br />
booking into suites.<br />
Swimming, sunning ourselves, and playing<br />
games like connect four was perfect before we<br />
headed out to explore the island on a tender<br />
and took in the magnitude of the Pacific<br />
Adventure from the shoreline.<br />
Our shore excursion was one we will not<br />
forget where a pod of wild dolphins came<br />
up to us in the shallows at sunset to be fed<br />
16 parra news » Tuesday, <strong>March</strong> <strong>14</strong>, <strong>2023</strong>
and marvelled at (and marvel I<br />
certainly did).<br />
The white themed Bianco party<br />
was a blast, and the sea days<br />
became a blur of more bingo,<br />
listening to live music and watching<br />
groups of friends and families<br />
relaxing and enjoying the wonderful<br />
atmosphere and phenomenal<br />
service given by the 1100 members<br />
of cheerful crew.<br />
There is so much included within<br />
a cruise package with shows and<br />
complimentary restaurants but<br />
adding on a hot stone massage at<br />
the Elemis at Sea Spa and dinner<br />
at celebrity chef Luke Mangan’s<br />
bar and grill will leave you wanting<br />
more.<br />
Sitting down for a drink with<br />
P&O Cruise Director Sam Austin,<br />
he summed up<br />
why cruise<br />
ships prove to be a popular holiday<br />
choice for all generations.<br />
“I’ve worked in the cruise industry<br />
for eight years and there has<br />
been a huge stigma about cruising<br />
being for old people but that is<br />
changing with adults only cruise<br />
lines, we do themed cruises and<br />
P&O did the first ever pride cruise<br />
in Australia which was insane,”<br />
Austin said.<br />
“We have a night club, loud music<br />
venues, quiet places you can sit<br />
to relax, a variety of shows with<br />
talented performers, fun activities<br />
and incredible kids centres that<br />
cater for the young ones so make<br />
sure to experience as much as you<br />
can.”<br />
With endless food, drinks and<br />
activities, if you have never hit the<br />
seas before or if you are a cruise<br />
veteran, make sure to get down the<br />
gangway of a P&O liner.<br />

The Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune<br />
are all stimulating your cash<br />
zone. Letting finances take their own<br />
course seems tempting but you need<br />
to keep up to speed with money matters.<br />
If you increase your financial literacy<br />
then it will pay off handsomely<br />
further down the track, as you replace<br />
short-term whims with wise longterm<br />
strategies. Slow down on Thursday<br />
and Friday, otherwise you could<br />
do something rash or say something<br />
stupid.<br />
Perceptive Pisceans have an uncanny<br />
sixth sense and you’ll be using<br />
it in spades as the Sun, Mercury,<br />
Saturn and Neptune all meander<br />
through your sign. You’ll feel increasingly<br />
inspired, compassionate and/or<br />
spiritually inclined. So it’s the perfect<br />
time to break out the paint brushes,<br />
dance in the moonlight, help someone<br />
in need or explore a new spiritual<br />
practice. The Sun/Mercury/Neptune<br />
hook-ups particularly highlight creativity<br />
and healing.<br />
This week Mars (your power planet)<br />
squares Neptune, the Sun and Mercury.<br />
Which could confuse your mind,<br />
fire up your temper and increase your<br />
impatience. Rational, reasonable<br />
Rams will simmer down, take a few<br />
deep breaths, and transform your exasperation<br />
into red hot creativity and<br />
vigorous physical activity. Wisdom for<br />
the week is from birthday great, lawyer<br />
and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “You<br />
can disagree without being disagreeable.”<br />
Venus (your ruler) shifts into Taurus,<br />
so you’ll be at your flirtatious best as<br />
you charm the cynics and dazzle the<br />
doubters. If you’re attached, it’s time<br />
to rejuvenate the relationship with<br />
some good old-fashioned romance.<br />
Single Bulls – you could meet your<br />
soul mate while you’re doing routine<br />
daily chores … like grocery shopping<br />
or walking the dog. But watch your<br />
luxury-loving urge to splurge doesn’t<br />
spin out of control via a spontaneous<br />
spending spree.<br />

With gung-ho Mars still in Gemini,<br />
your quicksilver energy is firing on all<br />
cylinders this week. The Sun, Mercury,<br />
Saturn and Neptune also set the<br />
stage for a career upgrade. (But your<br />
tendency to over-talk and over-share<br />
could get you into trouble – especially<br />
if you spread gossip.) When it comes<br />
to a difficult professional relationship,<br />
you may feel as if you’re going backwards.<br />
Compromise and patience<br />
will set you on the road to a satisfying<br />
long-term solution.<br />
With no less than six planets activating<br />
your career and aspirations zones,<br />
it’s time to have ambitious dreams<br />
and set humongous goals. Stop procrastinating<br />
and instead, ask yourself<br />
an important question. “Do I need<br />
to tweak my dreams to make them<br />
a more honest reflection of the real<br />
me?” Believe in yourself, be authentic<br />
and reach for the stars! But you<br />
may feel rather crabby on Thursday<br />
and Friday when Mars inflames your<br />
moods and shortens your patience.<br />
This week the Sun (your patron<br />
planet) links up with Neptune in the<br />
gentle, mystical sign of Pisces. So slow<br />
down and calm down Cats! Tap into<br />
your imaginative, intuitive, spiritual<br />
side. Dream a special dream that will<br />
propel you into a magical future. And<br />
aim to surround yourself with family<br />
and friends who support and encourage<br />
your aspirations. So your motto<br />
is from birthday great, actress Glenn<br />
Close, “Be aware of your inner voice<br />
and follow it.”<br />
Attached Virgo – is your relationship<br />
stuck in a time-warp where it’s been<br />
difficult to move forward? This week’s<br />
stars bring a shift in perspective, as<br />
you view your lover in a promising<br />
(and realistic) new light. Single Virgo<br />
– are you sick and tired of looking for<br />
love? Your Prince or Princess is waiting<br />
in the wings, but you may have to<br />
kiss a few frogs before you finally find<br />
them! Friday night favours friendships<br />
and romantic declarations in the<br />
moonlight.<br />

With lucky Venus and prosperous<br />
Jupiter in your partnership zone, this<br />
week is all about cosy companionship,<br />
inspired collaboration and generous<br />
joint ventures. The more you focus<br />
on the needs of loved ones (and the<br />
more you cooperate with others) the<br />
happier everyone will be. However –<br />
with Mars increasing your impatience<br />
– take extra care when driving, travelling<br />
and talking (don’t speed, double-check<br />
your itinerary, and don’t<br />
pass on garrulous gossip).<br />
You’ll feel more inspired than usual,<br />
as the planets stimulate your self-expression<br />
zone. Use the power of your<br />
imagination to solve problems and<br />
soar into higher realms of creativity.<br />
Your motto for the week is from<br />
birthday great Albert Einstein, “Logic<br />
will get you from A to B. Imagination<br />
will take you everywhere.” Love and<br />
friendship are favoured on Thursday,<br />
and the weekend’s a great time to organise<br />
a neighbourhood get-together<br />
or a romantic rendezvous.<br />
Are you confused about which path<br />
to follow in the future? Pay close attention<br />
to your nightly dreams. They<br />
are full of creative ideas and symbolic<br />
wisdom that can lead you in the right<br />
direction. Painters, artists, writers,<br />
musicians and performers will feel<br />
particularly inspired as Venus, Jupiter<br />
and Saturn boost creativity and<br />
productivity. Some Sagittarians will<br />
bump into a lover from the past. But<br />
do you really want to travel down that<br />
rocky road again?<br />
Family matters and domestic DIY<br />
projects are favoured this week, as<br />
lucky Venus and prosperous Jupiter<br />
navigate their way through your home<br />
zone. Can you figure out a problem<br />
that has loved ones stymied? They’re<br />
expecting you to come up with the<br />
goods so get creative! For many Capricorns,<br />
luck and family are linked.<br />
You’ll also find the more time and effort<br />
you put into education, communication<br />
and social media, the more<br />
successful you’ll be.<br />

to avoid being labelled a ‘TikTokker’ for the<br />
rest of his life, he set his sights on the city.<br />
“I started on TikTok when I was in Year 11,<br />
so then after I moved to Melbourne from<br />
the country, I thought I better try and do<br />
something else,” he told <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
It was there that Pavey met fellow<br />
comedian Luke Kidgell, who similarly<br />
got his start on Tik-<br />
Tok. Having<br />
opened for<br />
Kidgell last<br />
year on his<br />
tour, Pavey<br />
assures that his<br />
success so far has nothing to do<br />
with his talent – just a bit of luck.<br />
“I always knew that I wanted to do standup<br />
after doing TikTok, but the scale it’s gotten<br />
to now has been really surprising. The<br />
response has been absolutely insane so far,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I guess I got pretty lucky to meet Luke<br />
and all that, and they helped me get started,<br />
and then took me on the road for his tour.<br />
It’s been a pretty quick shortcut into getting<br />
into my own tour.”<br />
Many would know Pavey from his content<br />
surrounding his diagnosis with Cystic Fibrosis<br />
(CF) – a life-threatening disorder that<br />
primarily damages the lungs and digestive<br />
system. It’s for this reason that the name of<br />
the show, ‘Literally Dying’, may not come as<br />
a surprise.<br />
“A lot of my stuff in the show this year is<br />
about CF and all my health issues, which I<br />
think is a little bit different to what people<br />
might have seen in the past, compared to<br />
especially Internet dudes who have done<br />
stand-up shows in the past,” he said.<br />
“Even after my shows with Luke, people<br />
were really connected to the stuff about CF,<br />
so I think that’s been the major draw card so<br />
far.”<br />
Pavey assures that the show will be more<br />
than an hour-long sob story, taking on the<br />
topic of how he’s used humour to cope with<br />
the tough stuff, and introducing himself<br />
properly to an audience who may have only<br />
ever seen him through a screen.<br />
“I’m excited to do the show and introduce<br />
myself in a whole new light,” he said.<br />
“I think it’ll give people a better idea of the<br />
fact that I’m more than just that TikTok comedian,<br />
which is something that I’m really<br />
excited about.”<br />
Having just kicked off his tour in Ballarat,<br />
Pavey will be heading back to The Joan in<br />
Penrith on Tuesday, <strong>March</strong> 28, after opening<br />
for Kidgell there last year. Despite his aim to<br />
become known outside of TikTok, Pavey is<br />
hoping the show will help him come back to<br />
his roots.<br />
“Penrith was great [last time], I got one of<br />
my first viral stand-up clips out of Penrith,<br />
so hopefully they can do the same again<br />
when I come back,” he said.<br />
Blake Pavey’s ‘Literally Dying’ will be on<br />
at The Joan in Penrith on Tuesday, <strong>March</strong><br />
28 at 6.30pm. Tickets are $40. For more<br />

her musical works. The show will see Childs<br />
perform hits and fan favourites from ‘Union’,<br />
‘House of Hope’, ‘The Woman’s Boat’ and<br />
‘Keep the Faith’, before introducing songs<br />
from her new albums, ‘It’s All a Beautiful<br />
Noise’ and ‘Citizens of the Planet’.<br />
The latter two albums will be part of a<br />
very special sea change for Childs in the<br />
next few years, being part of two unique 3D<br />

CASSIDY PEARCE<br />
Formed in 1982, Pseudo Echo have<br />
long been one of Australia’s most<br />
iconic new wave bands. Now, after a<br />
three-year hiatus, they’re returning to the<br />
stage, bringing their epic national tour to<br />
Blue Mountains Theatre.<br />
Despite being best known for their cover<br />
of ‘Funky Town’, Pseudo Echo pioneered<br />
the ‘80s with their avant-garde look and<br />
electro sound, introducing audiences to a<br />
new sound in an era of pub rock and making<br />
history as the first unrecorded band to<br />
appear on ABC’s ‘Countdown’.<br />
The Ultimate Tour will see some of their<br />
greatest hits, such as classics from ‘Autumnal<br />
Park’ and ‘Love An Adventure’, and feature<br />
tracks from the controversial, yet much<br />
loved stadium rock ‘Race’ album, performed<br />
live on stage with a six-piece line-up, fronted<br />
by founding member Brian Canham.<br />
Some of these songs haven’t been<br />
performed since their release, so for fans of<br />
the band, this show is not to be missed!<br />
If you enjoy your classic ‘80s music and<br />
want to transport yourself back to the iconic<br />
decade, then round up your friends and<br />
book your tickets fast!<br />
‘Pseudo Echo Ultimate Tour’ will be on<br />
at Blue Mountains Theatre in Springwood<br />
on Friday, <strong>March</strong> 24 at 8pm. Tickets are<br />
$65. For more information or to book, visit<br />

TV NEWS<br />
Ê One of the surprising bits of news to<br />
come through this week was confirmation<br />
that ‘Shark Tank’ would be returning to 10<br />
later this year. It’s unbelievably been five<br />
years since we last saw the series, which<br />
brings together five business superstars, who<br />
put their own cash on the line to try and turn<br />
the next big idea into a profitable venture.<br />
When ‘Shark Tank’ last screened in 2018,<br />
the ‘Sharks’ included Steve Baxter, Janine<br />
Allis, Andrew Banks, Naomi Simson and Glen<br />
Richards. No word on the new line-up yet.<br />
Ê 10 has confirmed Melissa Leong and<br />
international chef Amaury Guichon as judges<br />
for ‘MasterChef: Dessert Masters’. Offering<br />
$100,000 in prize money, the ‘short run’<br />
series is expected to feature well-known<br />
names in pastry, desserts and all things<br />
sweet. ‘MasterChef: Dessert Masters’ will air<br />
later this year.<br />
Ê Former ‘Sunrise’ host Sam Armytage has<br />
been confirmed as the new host of ‘Farmer<br />
Wants A Wife’. Channel Seven have already<br />
started airing promos for the series, which is<br />
expected to air after Easter. Long-time host<br />

Natalie Gruzlewski will still be involved but<br />
in a scaled back role.<br />
Ê Highly anticipated SBS series ‘Alone Australia’<br />
will premiere with a double episode on<br />
Wednesday, <strong>March</strong> 29 at 7.30pm. The 11-part<br />
series sees 10 Australian survivalists dropped<br />
in the Tasmanian wilderness, completely<br />
isolated from the world and each other,<br />
stripped of modern possessions, contact and<br />
comforts, to self-document their experience<br />
– the last one standing takes home $250,000.<br />
It’s a shame it’s on SBS because this sounds<br />
like a show not to be missed!<br />
Ê ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’, a live-action reimagining<br />
of the J.M. Barrie novel and the 1953<br />
animated classic, will screen next month on<br />
Disney+. ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ introduces<br />
Wendy Darling, a young girl afraid to leave<br />
her childhood home behind, who meets Peter<br />
Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside<br />
her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell,<br />
she travels with Peter to the magical world of<br />
Neverland. There, she encounters an evil pirate<br />
captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on<br />
a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will<br />
change her life forever. Starring Jude Law as<br />
Captain Hook, ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ drops on<br />
Friday, April 28.<br />
Ê Still on Disney+ and the streamer has<br />
just released the trailer for new film ‘Boston<br />
Strangler’, which is set to be released this<br />
Friday, <strong>March</strong> 17. The film follows Loretta<br />
McLaughlin (Keira Knightley), a reporter<br />
for the Record-American newspaper, who<br />
becomes the first journalist to connect the<br />
Boston Strangler murders. The trailer is a<br />
beauty!<br />
Ê Huge news for fans of ‘Billions’ this week<br />
with confirmation that Damian Lewis will<br />
return for the seventh season of the finance<br />
drama. The show hasn’t quite been the same<br />
since the abrupt departure of Lewis’ character<br />
Axe after season 5. ‘Billions’ returns to<br />
Stan later this year.<br />

How to beat Str8ts –<br />
Like Sudoku, no single number can<br />
repeat in any row or column. But...<br />
rows and columns are divided by black<br />
squares into compartments. These<br />
need to be filled in with numbers that<br />
complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set<br />
of numbers with no gaps but can be in<br />
any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black<br />
cells remove that number as an option<br />
in that row and column, and are not part<br />
of any straight. Glance at the solution to<br />
see how ‘straights’ are formed.<br />

Wallen’s epic new album<br />
If Morgan Wallen’s (pictured)<br />
new record is on in your car, your<br />
better make it a long road trip.<br />
‘One Thing At A Time’ was<br />
released last Friday and it features<br />
an extraordinary 36 tracks.<br />
“This record represents the last<br />
few years of my life, the highs and<br />
the lows,” Wallen said.<br />
“It also brings together the<br />
musical influences that have<br />
shaped me as an artist – country,<br />
alternative and hip-hop. There<br />
are 36 songs on this album<br />
because we just kept exploring<br />
with fresh lyrics, music and<br />
production ideas and these are<br />
the songs that felt right to me. It<br />
was a blast to create, and I was so<br />
grateful to be back in the studio to<br />
lay this out for my fans.”<br />
The album is available now<br />
on all your regular streaming<br />
services.<br />
Wallen is about to tour Australia<br />
and appear at the CMC Rocks<br />
festival in Queensland later this<br />
month.<br />
Paisley back with a bang<br />
Country music staple Brad<br />
Paisley has released a new track,<br />
‘Same Here’.<br />
It’s the first song on his new<br />
label, UMG, as Paisley begins<br />
the next stage in his successful<br />
country career.<br />
Paisley will release a brand new<br />
studio album later this year, his<br />
first in some time.<br />
Paisley first broke into the country<br />
scene in 1999 with the hit ‘He<br />
Didn’t Have To Be’.<br />

Bragging rights to go on the line<br />
NATHAN TAYLOR<br />
After their shock loss to Perth last weekend,<br />
the Western Sydney Wanderers<br />
have no better fixture to turn things<br />
around than this Saturday night’s third and<br />
final Sydney Derby.<br />
With both sides winning one game apiece<br />
during their first two meetings this season,<br />
Saturday evening’s blockbuster at Allianz<br />
Stadium will be for bragging rights.<br />
The Wanderers enter this weekend’s Sydney<br />
Derby in fourth place on the A-League Men’s<br />
ladder while Sydney FC are hot on their tails<br />
in sixth position.<br />
Western Sydney had the opportunity to<br />
remain in second heading into Saturday’s<br />
game however a 96th minute goal to Perth last<br />
Friday at HBF Park cruelled their chances.<br />
It was a stunning last gasp victory from the<br />
Glory, who overcame the blow of receiving the<br />
second-fastest red card in A-League history to<br />
pull off the 1-0 win.<br />
Perth defender Jordan Elsey was sent off after<br />
93 seconds for his clumsy studs-up challenge<br />
that caught Wanderers star Yeni Ngbakoto on<br />
his Achilles tendon.<br />
Glory defended their backsides off for the<br />
entire match before catching a lucky break in<br />
the 84th minute when Wanderers defender<br />
Tomislav Mrcela was also shown a red.<br />
Perth went on an attacking rampage at the<br />
death, with midfielder Aaron McEneff securing<br />
the match winner deep into injury time.<br />
