The report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Annual Reports (Statutory Bodies) Act, 1984 and the Annual Reports (Statutory Bodies) Regulation 2005. The report details the work, achievements and relevant statutory and financial informa- tion of the State Sports Centre Trust.

At the same time there were some changes at the Authority itself, with Chairman David 2007-08 saw some excellent events in Richmond and CEO Brian Newman departing and our own Trust all of the venues. The year started with member Liz Ellis being appointed to the Authority’s Board.

On behalf of the Trust I would like to record which Australia powered home to beat my appreciation to Professor Richmond and Mr Newman and Jamaica by 72-53. The Sports Halls demonstrated their true value acknowledge the significant contribution that both have made to the following week when they hosted over 6000 participants in the evolution of Sydney Olympic Park. the Volleyball Junior Nationals, an event that until recently could only find the court capacity it needed in Melbourne.

The performances of our netball and basketball teams reflected the dramas in their respective national leagues. In the inaugural season of the ANZ Championships Trans-Tasman Netball Trophy, the newly formed NSW Swifts overcame a wobbly start to the season before finishing strongly to become the new semi- Alan Whelpton AO professional league’s first premiers. The West Sydney Razorbacks Chairman were not as fortunate and once again failed to qualify for the play- offs. At the end of the year the problems besetting the National Basketball League hit home in Sydney when cross-town rivals the Kings ceased to exist. This resulted in the West Sydney Razorbacks being re-launched as the Sydney Spirit with hopes and expectations of a strong 2008-09 season when they will be the only team left in Australia’s biggest city. We are delighted the new franchise has chosen the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre as its home court. The year also saw some excellent concerts with strong attendances highlighting the local popularity of contemporary Lebanese, Greek and Indian performers. A healthy number of product launches, meetings and conferences helped to underpin another sound financial performance at the Sports Centre. The surplus of $358,000 before depreciation and special grants was less than the previous year’s record result but well above the long term average. Pleasingly, the surplus reflected positive financial outcomes in all venues and in the growing area of programs.

Mr MAGUIRE (Wagga Wagga) [10.03 a.m.]: What can be more basic than providing infrastructure services such as sewerage funding in rural areas? I have raised on other occasions in this place the need for sewerage funding for towns in my electorate such as Collingullie and Yerong Creek. Nowhere in the Governor's Speech has she referred to additional funding for that important infrastructure. On 25 March 2001 the Premier announced that the State Government would spend an extra $60 million over the next four years to help country towns provide cleaner water and better sewerage systems.

  • Many Distinctive Australian Words Have Been Driven to Or Near To
    Many distinctive Australian words have been driven to or near to extinction in recent decades under the homogenising influence of mass media and imported culture, because of changes in fashion, or have fallen into disuse as society changes. Those who like or use these words regret their passing but informal vocabulary is by nature ephemeral. Others who use these words do so ironically. Some examples: . around the traps – around one's usual haunts. Formerly quite common, but now declining. It was famously used by ARL boss Ken Arthurson when news of a Super league was emerging in Rugby League during the 90's, "Word around the traps". Bodgie – a male member of a 1950s rock 'n' roll subculture, somewhat similar to the US greasers and British rockers. Now only historical. bonzer – excellent (almost extinct). Probably from the Spanish word bonanza, by way of American English. Also spelt bonza. cobber – friend, mate, "G'day, cobber". Not frequently used. cooee! – a shouted greeting or long-distance contact call, used as when searching for a lost person, esp. in the bush. Also in the colloquial phrase "not within cooee", meaning "a long way off". Used in conversation to recapture the attention of someone you were talking to. "Cooeee Brian, are you listening?" Once ubiquitous, now becoming less common. traps, trappers or jacks – police. These Australianisms have been largely replaced by the international cops, coppers, pigs or bacon. However the older, more affectionate wallopers is also still used. drongo – an idiot (usage in decline). Either referring to the drongo bird which have extravagantly flared tails and cavort noisily in groups as part of their mating habits, but also, possibly an indirect derivation, from the name of a remarkably unsuccessful racehorse.

  • Glumac Report Column, but Rest Assured, Throughout My Six Month Hiatus, I've Noticed a Number of Exciting Ventures Taking Place Within the Club
    28/03/09 AIN'T NUTHIN' LIKE THA OLD SCHOOL The late Tupac Amaru Shakur was dead right when he wrote the lyrics to his song: "It ain't nuthin' like tha [sic] old school". Well President Stevan Sipka, along with Vice-President Zoran Salipur are both cognisant of the fact that experience, coupled with the penchant of doing things the old way can lead to wonders. Both of them are right. Last Friday night I was with some schoolmates at Mounies, I mean Mounties - excuse the habit, I get mixed up with Minto as well - and we thought all hope was lost in the second half for the mighty Dragons. Just bear in mind I am a Doggies supporter (I hope Mr Vukas appreciates this) but I do have a soft spot for the Red V and them Wabbits from South Syndey. Any old how, with about 10 minutes on the board, Wendell Sailor - aka Big Dell - sailed across the paddock to set up a try for his teammate Matt Cooper. I tell you what, it was one titillating moment! Everyone was up in the air - including Merv, the 80-something year-old near the pokies area. Not sure if any of you watch the news, but Channel 7's sports reporter Nick Marshall-McCormack said, "he [Sailor] is the second-fastest player on the side, and he's only 34!" He can gun 40-metres in four secs flat! Now how does the Storm/Saints game pertain to Obilic's current situation? You'll have to read on folks.
