Clubs fire up for BBQ challenge

By Kimberly Lennard
WHICH Cronulla-Sutherland Junior Rugby League club holds the
best barbecue?
Beaus BBQ Challenge will see a panel of judges visit grounds
and judge the offerings over two weeks from this Saturday to
September 1.
The winners will be announced at half-time of the A grade grand
final on Sunday, September 8, at Remondis Stadium.
Cronulla-Sutherland Junior Rugby League president Scott
Longmuir helped develop the barbecue challenge.
Why? Because the junior footy barbecue is an iconic part of
Australian culture, Mr Longmuir said.
The clubs put a lot of effort into their barbecues. Its an
important source of income for them and people coming to the
games love the products and convenience of the barbecues, he
said.
This concept is a bit of fun that
uses the competitive spirit of the
junior league clubs.
So while the teams battle it out on
the field, the junior clubs will be
making sure they are on top of their
games with their barbecues.
It rewards the effort junior clubs put
into their barbecues and illustrates the
great support the club industry provides
for grassroots junior sport in the shire.
Beaus BBQ Challenge is sponsored
by Tradies, Club Central Menai and The
Sharks, who are the biggest supporters
of junior rugby league in the shire.

Breast-feeding ban
By Deborah Field
A GRAYS Point mother-of-three is fuming
after being told by the Australian Electoral
Commission (AEC) she could not change her
lunch break on election day to breastfeed her
six-month-old son.
The woman, who who wishes to remain
anonymous, was offered a position as a polling officer at Grays Point on September 7 and
was entitled to a 30-minute-break.
She claims that her request to split her break
into three 10-minute intervals to be taken

Mum denied breaks to tend baby

every two hours was denied by the Electoral
Commission office in Miranda because it
would not be fair to other staff.
I did not ask for extra breaks, just three
intervals, the woman said.
I was shocked to be told that this would not
be fair on the other employees and that they
think because of this the job would not be the
appropriate position for me at this stage.

People working at polling booths who

require breaks to eat because of medical reasons are encouraged by the AEC to declare this
before their shift starts, the woman said.
The woman said she contacted the AEC
ahead of time as a matter of courtesy.
The Australian Breastfeeding Association is
said to be outraged by the incident.
The Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW states

it is generally against the law to refuse to make

arrangements to assist a person to breastfeed at
work if the requests are reasonable.
The mother worked at a polling booth at
Hurstville during the state election.
An AEC spokesman said he was unable to
comment on specific circumstances.
I would like to emphasise that the AEC does
not discriminate on any basis and is proud of
our inclusionary policies, he said.
I am more than happy to examine this matter
further if the individual has evidence to the contrary regarding our employment practices.
