50/1 shot continues stable’s roughies record
By Paul Mitchell A 50/1 success last week added another chapter to the Jaensch stable’s history of producing long-priced winners. Debutante Gusty Way saluted at the Murray Bridge midweek meeting (paying $55.60 on the TAB tote), but local mother-son training team Sue and Jason Jaensch hardly fell off their chairs after the one-length win. “No, we weren’t surprised,” said Naracoorte-based Sue. “We knew he went alright.” Gusty Way’s win sparked memories of the stable’s past winning longshots, headlined by a remarkable two-day double that saluted at odds of around 6000/1. “I went to Melbourne one day and won a race at 75/1 with Bronze Roulette, who went on to win the Swan Hill Cup,” Sue recalled. “And the next day we had a maiden horse win at 82/1.” Sue recalls Madja blowing punters out of the water at 100/1 at Stawell one day, but a Naracoorte Cup roughie is her […]
Statement by Nick McBride – Member for MacKillop
I have come to the conclusion that it is no longer tenable for me to remain in the Liberal party. I have been a proud member of this party for more than 30 years, so this has been an extremely difficult decision for me. I believe my constituents and electorate will be better served by me working as the Independent Member for MacKillop. My primary aim is to achieve better outcomes for the people of the MacKilllop electorate. I believe a party should work together regardless of individual beliefs to achieve good results for their community. Despite what the Liberal party may say, there are factional pressures at play which have resulted in disunity. I understand some people may be disappointed with my decision, given I was elected as a Liberal member. I hope those people can understand I have found it increasingly difficult to represent the party that I […]
Minister admits challenges at hospital
By Nasik Swami South Australian minister for Health and Wellbeing has admitted that infrastructure issues at the Naracoorte Hospital “have been long ignored”. Chris Picton said the issues would be fixed soon, assuring the public that many plans have been put in place that will address the most urgent and critical needs at the hospital. Responding to questions from The News, Mr Picton said, unlike the previous Liberal Government, the Malinauskas Labor Government was investing in regional health, including at Naracoorte. “There’s no doubt there are infrastructure issues at the hospital that have been long ignored. This is why we have committed $8m towards the first stage of the redevelopment of Naracoorte Hospital. “We were able to fund this project when we cancelled the previous plans for a $662m city basketball stadium and invested those funds into health.” Mr Picton explained that plans for the first stage of upgrades to […]
Hospital works
By Nasik Swami A lot of money will be spent on upgrading the Naracoorte Hospital in the next 12 months to ensure it provides “good and safe” services to the public. Limestone Coast Local Health Network Board chairman Grant King says they have received $8million from the state government for stage one upgrade work at the facility. The News continues to be asked by many of its readers to “find out” the strategic direction of the Naracoorte Hospital and what those in power are doing to fix the many challenges the public faces at the hospital. Some readers alleged the deteriorating state of the hospital’s old infrastructure included leaking roofs, electrical failures, plumbing problems, and damp walls. This newspaper sought comment and put questions to Mr King and the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, Chris Picton, on what was being done to improve services at the public hospital. Mr King […]
