HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Our Special
Centenary
Celebration

Edition

This week we celebrate the 100th
Birthday of your local newspaper
The Weekly Times.

W e had planned big and joyous
celebrations for all to enjoy but
unfortunately this has been limited
by the Covid-19 outbreak.

However we will come back
bigger and better than ever when
circumstances permit.

Meanwhile please make the best
of it and good wishes from the
Editor and TWT Team.

1921-2021 BETTER DAYS ahead is
our Birthday Wish to all
JB’s World readers and advertisers as
we celebrate 100 years of
continuous and uninter-
rupted publication through
world wars, the Great
Depression, fires, floods,
natural disasters and the
Good Times!

Let’s hope that the current
Covid-19 disastrous restric-
tions and lockdowns will
soon be a sad memory of the
past as we approach a new
era of happiness, joy and
prosperity.

THE WEEKLY TIMES 100th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION EDITION 1921-2021

John Alexander’s Tribute to

By JOHN ALEXANDER OAM, MP

TWT CentenaryFederal Member for Bennelong
John Booth is The Weekly Times, The Weekly
Times is John Booth. PM’s Special Award to TWT Dynamic Duo

of 100 years if it weren’t for John who has worked tirelessly
seven days a week often till after midnight pursuing his pas-
sion to inform, to bring the news and his opinions to the peo-
ple of this region.

John is a great man and greatness generates any number
of responses from respect to admiration to feelings of inad-
equacy which sometimes leads to jealousy. We in Australia
don’t always do tall poppies well.

This legend of Bennelong and beyond has been built on
fearlessly having a go, taking risks and when failure has vis-
ited, licking the wounds and having another go.

As Winston Churchill declared “it’s not how many times you
get knocked down it’s how many times you get up”. In my
game success is judged on wins not your losses.

John is still standing, standing tall and despite all of his
achievement and success he still strives every day to make a
difference, to make things right, make things better.

Thirty years ago when I was trying to get support to rede-
velop the Ryde Aquatic centre John was visiting his twin
brother in London during Wimbledon and I took the oppor-
tunity to introduce him to David Lloyd my co founder of Next
Generation Clubs. John listened intently, was encouraging of
our endeavour and remained supportive through our trials
and tribulations in our fight to get it up.

When I introduced a local version of Knighthoods, Mate Of
Bennelong, it was no contest that John was chosen for this
Honour bestowed by Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

The official greeting G’day Mate is so fitting.
John is a great person to call mate.
His mate.

local residents and the local council
have been fighting to have state gov-

years.

The Mayor said it is an honour to be
Mayor during the victory.

“This is the definitive outcome the
whole municipality has been fighting
for and I’m especially proud to have
been the councillor who successfully
proposed the motion to reject the state
government’s plan to encapsulate the
waste on site,” he said.

“And once you remove the waste you
also remove the stigma on our whole
municipality, it is a win every local resi-
dent can celebrate.”

He said once the site had been
cleaned it is up to the government to
consult residents on future plans for it.

“These are highly valued blocks of
land and building property on the site
would send a clear and powerful mes-
sage that Nelson Parade is a safe, resi-
dential street,’’ he said.

He said it is significant the waste re-
