Quality forms show of force

WITH the sunshine streaming into the sheep pavilion, the heady smell of lanolin in the air and the quiet rumble of farmer chit chat across pens there was no mistaking Tasmania’s premier sheep and wool show was well under way on Friday in Campbell Town.

From the big rounded noses of huge Corriedeale rams to the jiggling tails of the Polwarth lambs it was the best of the best on display and judges had a huge job on their hands working out which stock would take home the ribbons.

Meat breed entries were well up on last year, and Nutrien livestock agent and sheep committee chair Will Millhouse, from Epping Forest, in his first year running the competition, couldn’t have been happier.

“We had everything from traditional British-bred meat sheep through to Dorpers which were only added to the show program two years ago,” he said.

Outstanding results on the day included Georgina Wallace, of Trefusis, taking out Most Successful Exhibitor in the Corrie- dale Section, Supreme Champion Wool Breed Ram and Grand Champion Merino or Poll Merino Ram and Paul Day, of Sunnybanks, with the Supreme Champion Prime Lamb Bred Ram.

“Of course Merinos still dominate in the wool breeds, and their numbers were boosted with the addition of Merino display pens

plus a superfine display of Saxon Merinos, organised by Simon Cameron, of Kingston Estate,” Mr Millhouse said.

“The superfine display really shows off what sheep studs can produce on a commercial scale and was the perfect introduction to the state’s fines wool producers for attendees at the Australian Superfine Breeders dinner on the Saturday night.”

The superfine display was a natural drawcard for more than 60 interstate and international delegates in Tasmania to attend the annual reunion of the Australian Superfine Woolgrowers Association held at Launceston Country Club on Saturday.

With 16 sheep on display from eight growers plus a wool display there was plenty of interest from locals and visitors alike.

“It really demonstrates the traditional superfine sheep in Tasmania and the terrific wool they produce,” Mr Cameron said.

International luxury clothing company Zegna Group and its founder Paolo Zegna, from Italy, announced the winners of their annual national wool competition the Ermenegildo Zegna Group Vellus Aureum International Trophy (Golden Fleece) for fleeces

of 13.9 micron or finer, which was won by a fleece measuring a world record 9.4 microns for fineness.

The Ermenegildo Zegna Group Extrafine Wool Trophy, for a line of wool from 1 to 5 bales, was won by Mr Cameron who entered a single bale that scored 94.5 out of a possible 100, just pipping a southern Queensland entry on 94.2. Fellow Tasmanians Allan and Carol Phillips, from Glen Stuart, came fifth and Sam and Mel Nicholson, from Bonnie’s Plains, came sixth.

All 10 finalists have their wool automatically purchased by Zeg

na Group at 50 per cent above the current market value.

In the wool section the standard was also extremely high, according to Midlands Agricultural Association executive committee member and wool chair Matilda Scott. “There was a great display from all over the state with Merino, Polwarth and Corriedale breeds well supported,” she said. The Vitale Barbaris Canonico fleece competition of old New England wool for fleeces 18.5 microns or finer attracted 23 entries, most achieving between 14-17 microns, and was won by Bruce Dunbabin’s Mayfield Estate, at Little Swanport.

In the commercial section weight and visual scores also figured in the points earned with the Most Valuable Fleece going to Bothwell’s Rockford Pastoral with a fleece valued at $110.

In three separate micron groups the winners were Connorville Station, Rockford, and Forton, at Epping Forest.

In the stud sections the Grand Champion Fleece went to Georgina Wallace, of Trefusis, Champion Corriedale Fleece to Blackwood Corriedales and Champion Polwarth Fleece to Riverview.

All the wool displayed at the show is either donated by the growers for the MAA to sell, or entered in other shows such as the Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo in July or the Longford Show later in the year.

Currie borrows to take on North

IN what could have been a perfectly still, sunny, warm winter’s day, moments before the opening siren, the oval was coated in a gentle white blanket of drizzle – just enough to whet the appetite for what was to come.

Craig Constable, Arnold Stellmaker, and Jackson Taylor from Grassy topped up for Currie, and with Tyler Smith back from suspension, Currie had just enough players to get on the ground.

With the dew, the ground was heavy, making running and roving hard work. It was on and Beau Mullin to Luke Graham inside North’s forward line kicked it just short. A nice bit of running from Michael Laskey saw him run clear of the contest, kicking into Tom Graham, who had a shot, but it fell short on the heavy track for a behind. Luke Graham snapped around the body for North’s second. Keenan Fanning under pressure got the ball to Dale Ellis but the play then became congested.

Currie’s pressure in the middle had been strong, and they forced the free to Brodie Milgate. Jak Youd kicked out after a point directly to North’s Luke Graham, and North got a free shot and goal.

The rain before the game and the thick wet, dead air had made a flat, heavy ball with no bounce. Several kicks fell shorter than intended and bouncing the ball on the run had seen it fall flat every time. If North had been more accurate, they would have really kicked away in the first quarter, however, at quarter time, they were still 27 points up.

There was certainly no wind advantage on Saturday, and the second quarter had Jackson Taylor open the quarter for Currie with a poster.

Jye Summers took a lovely grab on the wing as North went forward into Luke Graham, then in short to Jeramy Summers, who was going to line up… and goal. Clint Stretton had a shot on for another Currie behind. Jackson was rewarded for a run-down tackle and quickly kicked it into Constable, who kicked Currie’s first goal.

 Justin Summers sat on top of Jack Worral’s shoulder to take a nice mark and took it into North’s forward line with a quick reply to Currie’s goal. Another behind for Currie. Their end saw plenty of action in the quarter and was about to see some more with Youd out of defence into Milgate for Currie, who drove it forward before Ned Hunter ran it back out.

The competition felt more even in the second quarter, the ball was lighter, and kicking was more accurate with both teams seeing plenty of it and using their running players through the centre really well.

Keenan kicked nicely for North. Justin Summers seemed to be playing unmanned in the centre of the ground. He took an easy mark and got a 50 but missed slightly to the left, to see North go in at halftime 49 points up.

Justin Summers opened the third quarter with a North goal. Currie, through Milgate to Tom Graham and Taylor, combined well in Currie’s back line.

Stellmaker marked for Currie up forward but couldn’t hit Clint cleanly with Smith taking a big shot for Currie, which was marked on the goal line by Mullins. Currie did not squander the opportunity and locked the ball in their forward line.

Youd got a behind, but the strong forward pressure gave Clint a crack, and this time he didn’t miss. Matthew Button into Jeramy Summers about 30 out, with Jeramy on target with a goal for North. Jeramy shared the next opportunity around when he passed it to Jye Summers for another one.

 Jye had another go but scored only a behind, quickly followed by Jeramy slotting it through for another goal. The weather might have been cooling off, but it was a hot Summers’ day on the field with Jeramy, Justin, and Jye.

 Currie clawed one back late in the third, as a dark cloud cover descended. Currie was missing a few of their key position players, and this was not the Currie outfit of last week as North went into the last break 78 points up.

The start of the last quarter saw Currie go forward through a 50-meter penalty, but it only resulted in a Currie behind. Bailey Rainbow with a big kick out to Ned with clean hands. He drove it forward to a contest where it spilled out into the pocket.

Luke Graham gathered from Justin Summers, which saw a bit more contested play before North found the goals. Mullins, who was looking sore after a knock to the crown jewels, pulled himself up and scored another North goal. Ned with a fruitless punch in the centre gave a free to Tom Graham, who was accurate with his kick to the steady hands of Clint, who found another point.

Brett Noonan took a mark in front for North and kicked his first-ever goal, surrounded by his teammates congratulating him. Constable from the pocket centred in for Currie, and Tom Graham took a big mark and finished it off nicely. Currie immediately went forward again, Taylor to Laskey, Taylor again into Milgate, but the centring kick was intercepted by David Vellekoop.

Ellis kicked forward from an intercept and had to chase his own work with no one home in the pocket. His hard work was rewarded with a shot on goal that missed to the right. Luke Graham, who had a standout game, lined up another shot in front for North and scored. Tom Graham took the ball out of the centre bounce, into Milgate, to Taylor, who was caught by Mallinson right on the final siren, ending an eerily windless, still game as the afternoon blackened around the ground with North running out a comfortable winner by 86 points.

Next week is the mid-season long weekend break, so we will be back on June 17 for the Grassy v North.

Voice for the generations

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2023 was ‘Be a Voice for Generations.’

The theme encouraged all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives where we live, work and socialise.

It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

King Island District High School principal Denise Bryant said that activities were held across the school to recognise 2023 National Reconciliation Week.

“The Grade 5 students considered what a reconciled Australia looks like, sounds like and feels like,” she said.

“The school’s Launching into Learning sessions for children four and under was inspired by author/illustrator Bronwyn Bancroft’s books.

Children participated in a variety of indigenous activities including dot painting, leaf drawing, sand painting, collages and rain sticks.

“Classes learnt about the importance of indigenous culture and history. The dates for NRW remain the same each year May 27 to June 3.

“These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey: the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

“ Reconciliation Week leads into NAIDOC Week, which is held between July 2 and 9 and is during the last week of Term 2,” Ms Bryant said.

On 27 May 1967, Australia’s most successful referendum saw more than 90 per cent of Australians vote to give the Australian Government power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and recognise them in the Census.

On June 3, 1992, the Australian High Court delivered the Mabo decision, the culmination of Eddie Koiki Mabo’s challenge to the legal fiction of ‘terra nullius’ (land belonging to no one) and leading to the legal recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of lands.

This decision paved the way for Native Title.

In a week of reconciliation, Grade 9 and 10 students created dioramas to represent significant aspects of World War 2, including The Holocaust, Oskar Schindler, the Kokoda Trail, the bombing of Pearl Harbour, D-Day, and the bombing of Hiroshima.

Ms McFadzean was impressed with the engagement, collaboration, creativity and attention to detail. There will be an exhibition later this term.

The KIDHS Rock Café will be open Sunday 18 June 10am to 1 pm serving hot and cold drinks, savouries and sweets as part of Brixhibition. Visitors can browse the Lego exhibition and vote in the student competition. Enter through the KIDHS Main Entrance.

TASPORTS LIFT ISLAND FREIGHT RATES

TASPORTS has increased its charges for King Island shipping by about 7 per cent even as the Tasmanian Economic Regulator runs an inquiry into Bass Island Line.

Rumblings of discontent are continuing on King Island because few customers were aware of the regulator’s visit to the island at the end of May.

The increases are wharfage 6.9%, tonnage 6.5%, pilotage 6.7%, towage 6.8%,  general 7.7% and will take effect from July 1.

The Regulator did not undertake an awareness campaign nor any advertising of their proposed visit, and it appears that they are not required to do so despite the island visit’s objective being to meet with customers to inform the inquiry.

King Island’s two largest cattle producers Waverley Station and TRT Pastoral, a large agricultural contractor, island fertiliser importer, or Besties were not asked to meet.

The beef producers heard of the visit by an email from KIRDO that was distributed after OTTER arrived on the island.

“It was poor communication from them,” Beef Producers Group president Nick Lyttle said.

“There was not enough notice to pull together figures.

“We are planning to put in a submission.”

Elders did receive an email a few weeks before the visit, but there was no follow-up.

“The Regulator has identified key stakeholders to consult with, namely major customers, intermediaries involved in the King Island freight task, and those who have been in touch with the Regulator’s office,” the OTTER said.

“These groups were identified as being best placed to help address the Terms of Reference of the inquiry, with particular reference to Terms of Reference 4: Bass Island Line’s pricing behaviour impacts on other competitors and upstream and downstream supply chain participants.

Owner of Eastern Line Shipping Warren Dick met with OTTER after they left the island.

“I met with OTTER just after they had completed their research on the island.

“I was surprised that they hadn’t met with farmers and with people who had contacted them by actively reaching out.

“The people of King Island are customers, from the once-a-year box bringing to or sending from the island.

“Being an island, the costs and pricing directly affect everyone.

“I have questions: Will the King Island people actually get an honest and transparent review?  What is the quality of the report going to be and how much will be filtered.”

Mayor Marcus Blackie was not aware of their visit. A few businesses that did receive an email a couple of weeks before OTTER’s visit had not received an appointment confirmation.

Other businesses who consider themselves customers were not invited or informed.

“We were very busy with meetings and met with a lot of people,” the director of OTTER, Kirstan Long said before leaving the island.

Mr Blackie was unaware of the regulators’ visit  until advised by the Courier and organised a meeting.

“I and the head of our shipping executive Greg Morris were able to spend over an hour with the two representatives,” he said.

“I was able to cover the big picture aspects for King Island and Greg was able to drill down into a range of good examples and observations that ticked off their Bass Island Line shipping pricing inquiry terms of reference.

“We were then able to propose possible solutions for the regulator to consider and articulate our future aspirations for an ideal triangular shipping service, underpinned by a major harbour expansion at Grassy to bring in bigger ships in all weather.”

Freight forwarders Currie Cargoes and Jim McKenzie Agencies also met with the regulator and Mr Mc Kenzie said that he was able to demonstrate that changes, price increases and conditions imposed by Bass Island Line have led to major cost and pricing escalation.

Ms Long said there werer no no plans to return to the island at this time.

“The regulator is also happy to receive submissions from any interested parties who would like to provide input into the inquiry.”

“TasPorts has endeavoured to minimise the impact of any adjustments in port charges for the upcoming financial year,” the company said.

TasPorts said its pricing recognises current national and Tasmanian CPI, while also taking into consideration any difficulties and challenges that the industry may be facing.

“Our ongoing objective is to ensure that any adjustment in port charges is fair and reasonable, and aligned with our steadfast commitment to continual investment in our assets, so as to deliver real value for our customers,” the company said.

“TasPorts has a clear vision for the future of the state’s multi-port system and is developing fit-for-purpose infrastructure to facilitate future growth and demand.

“This year’s increase, below the Tasmanian December 2022 CPI of 7.7% and National CPI of 7.8%, will support TasPorts’ ongoing investments, ensuring satisfactory service levels across Tasmania’s multi-port system.

“TasPorts continues to streamline its internal pricing knowledge and ability to ensure the most appropriate charges are being set going forward,” the statement said.

Mine’s tungsten milestone

Group 6 Metals (G6M) has successfully produced its first tungsten concentrate at the G6M’s Dolphin Tungsten Mine at Grassy. Construction of the process plant is nearing completion, with performance testing under way to achieve 400,000tpa processing capacity.

Group 6 Metals Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Keith McKnight, said production of the first concentrate at the Dolphin Tungsten Mine is another significant milestone for Group 6 Metals and is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our site team and contractors.

The process plant has been running 24 hours a day for the past week, processing lower-grade commissioning ore. The team will now turn their focus to performance testing to increase throughput, grade and recovery.”

Tungsten is a critical mineral used in a variety of applications, including steelmaking, mining, construction, electronics and defence. The global demand for tungsten is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by demand from the construction, mining, defence sectors and new applications in the battery and technology sectors.

The commencement of production at the DTM is a significant milestone for Group 6 Metals thus positioning it to capitalise on the increasing demand for tungsten and becoming a leading producer of tungsten concentrate.

“The tungsten price has remained strong over the past 12 months supported by increased demand, supply disruptions from two of the largest producers in China and Russia and global inflationary pressures which has led to higher prices for raw materials, including tungsten,” Mr McKnight said.

All go for next show

THE King Island Show committee will be regrouping soon to start planning the next annual show day in March 2024.

Over the winter months, the show schedule and events are reviewed, and entertainment ideas are locked in.

“The King Island Show aims to honour many traditional annual show events and create a fun family day that the whole community can enjoy,” committee secretary Claire Perry said.

“The current show committee is a small group and we really need a boost of new interested people to join us.

“We are trying to make traditional committee roles more appealing by working out where we can be more efficient overall in our planning and running of the show and also find some extra people to help out in specific areas such as social media, photography and running of our soft serve ice cream machine at other community events,” she said.

“Committee roles include president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, chief pavilion steward, and assistant pavilion steward. 

“We really encourage and hope people who enjoy the show day and value the tradition of this event in our community will make contact, even if you are not confident in taking on an executive role this year but are willing to join us in a learning capacity or take on a specific job – it all helps,” Ms Perry said.

With King Island Show’s AGM approaching in June, anyone who has an interest in a committee position or any other specific section of the show and would like to contribute their time, skills and/or resources please contact Shannon Cooper 0499 102020 / kishow.president@gmail.com

US deal helps secure g6m role

The Australian Government has entered into a new agreement with the US which if approved by Congress could assist in future Group 6 Metals (G6M) development and production projects.

The agreement’s unwieldy title is the “Australia-United States Climate, Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Transformation Compact.”

Under this deal, the Pentagon will provide funding for projects in Australia aimed at extracting minerals that are considered essential for the US military.

The agreement, signed last week by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and US President Joe Biden in Hiroshima, is designed to fast-track the development of a responsible and secure global clean energy economy. It signifies the recognition of climate and clean energy as a crucial aspect of the alliance between the two countries, alongside defence and economic cooperation.

This agreement holds significant implications for both the environment and the Australian economy, as it could result in substantial subsidies for Australian mining, processing, and energy companies through Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

Under the new agreement, Biden plans to seek approval from for the Pentagon to add Australia as a “domestic source” within the Defense Production Act.

Put simply, if approved by Congress, the US would be able to directly invest in the production and purchase of Australian critical minerals and critical technologies and fund projects.

G6M managing director and CEO Keith McKnight told the Courier that by adding Australia as “domestic source”, the agreement could provide a framework of cooperation between Australian and US investors which could lead to increased investment in Australian mining companies, especially those focused on critical minerals, and tungsten has been classified as a critical mineral.

 “The compact could help reduce the risk of supply disruptions for critical minerals as Australia is a major producer of critical minerals.

“As China dominates the world’s supply of tungsten, this could be especially important as the Dolphin Tungsten Project comes back into production and becomes a significant producer of primary tungsten.   

“In 2022, the Biden Administration announced it would be working to increase the US stockpile of critical minerals, including tungsten.

“While details are yet to be released, it is possible that this will involve purchasing tungsten from foreign producers or investing in tungsten production.

“By adding Australia as a domestic source, the agreement supports this which is positive for the G6M and the Dolphin Tungsten Project as one of only a few new tungsten supplies coming into production this year.  

 “Overall, the Australia-United States Climate, Critical Minerals and Clean Energy Transformation Compact could have a very positive impact of on investment in Australian mining companies which could boost the economy and create jobs.” 

To further emphasise the importance of this development the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, visited Australia and critical minerals were also a focus.

The latest US formalised agreement follows last year’s Minerals Security Partnership agreement led by the US and signed by the world’s major democracies – including Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Britain, the US and the European Commission.

The world is in a great race to control the energy sources of the future and associated technologies.

This is everything from computer chips to wind turbines to electric vehicles to advanced weaponry and more and the minerals critical to winning this energy race.
