Shore Debating
GPS DEBATING REPORT
Round 2 - Shore v Kings
Shore’s debaters traveled to King’s last Friday to debate the latest issues in sport. Topics ranged
from sporting fans owning teams, to the legalization of performance-enhancing drugs, the
banning of sport cheats for life, and making sport compulsory all through primary and high
school. Shore took out wins in the 1sts, 2nds, 9As, 9Bs, 8As, 8Bs, 7As and 7Bs – a highly
successful evening.
Many of the adjudicators commented on the succinct and engaging manner of Shore’s speakers,
and their willingness to engage in the ideas put forth by their opposition.
This Friday, off to St Joseph’s to battle over the future of education. All support welcome.

An All-Too Convenient End
J Brice
On the 10 August 2019, American financier Jeffrey
Epstein was tragically found dead in his prison cell in
New York. His death, an apparent suicide, occurred at
the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York,
considered to be one of the most secure correctional
centres in the world. This facility had previously been
home to the Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo”
Guzman making the circumstances surrounding
Epstein’s death even more puzzling to authorities.
Epstein, the founder of the Jeff rey Epstein VI Found ation,
was charged with numerous sexual slavery incidents,
many of which involved children.
A wealthy financier with a penchant for underage
women, it was not his money that made his case so
intriguing to the public – it was the company he kept. Associated with some of the most famous figures in
the world, he counted friends such as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew, amongst a network
of high-profile politicians, celebrities and business elite. His case has filled the column inches in
newspapers worldwide for some time as allegations of who might be implicated in his illicit schemes aired.
As fuel to conspiracy theorists, Epstein’s death comes just a day
after the court in New York unsealed documents that revealed
the extent of his abuse of young women and the alleged global
operation of his sex-trafficking ring. These documents would
have formed the basis of the criminal case against Epstein, some
implicating his famous friends or at the very least raising serious
questions about their involvement and knowledge. His death
marks an all too convenient end for many. Just how many of his
famous entourage will be breathing sighs of relief at the news is
yet to be revealed but social media is filled with speculation and
questions, The photo on the left, as just one example, taken with
Prince Andrew with his arm around a young woman, deserves a
response but the questions it poses, together with many others for
Epstein, that now, sadly or possibly all too conveniently, cannot now be answered.

Simplicity Sells Simply
E Nam
“What consumers want from marketers is simply, simplicity”
- Harvard Business Review
What's the most important thing you can offer potential customers to move them from being interested to
actually purchasing your product? Apparently it’s all about being simple. Just last week, as I went to IGA
to buy my $1 drink to go with my lunch, I couldn’t help but
wonder: what is it about these drinks that is so appealing
over the others? Why do students take this drink instead of a
bigger drink in the back aisle that may be the better price?
Let’s have a look at three major factors that influence
consumer decisions.
Easy Navigation
While every product has its own market tricks to sell,
accessibility is a big part in actually determining if the
customers get to the product. If the consumer can be steered
directly to the product upon entry, they will be more likely
to stay engaged to the product. Take the $1 drinks from IGA,
for example, they are situated right at the front of the store.
As soon as you enter you can see the cans stacked up, ready
to be taken.
Trust
Oddly, perhaps, the information consumers find most trustworthy isn't impressive research or detailed
product data. Rather, it's commentary from other consumers in the form of reviews, descriptions of
intended use, etc. It is through the word of mouth that students tell each other about “that cheap can of
drink from IGA.” That’s all it requires for them to check out the product the next day.
Right Audience
Easy navigation and trust is important, but having the right audience for the product lies at the heart of
marketing. The IGA in North Sydney is a centre of activity for all sorts of people, from students up the
road to employees coming for lunch. The $1 can was the ideal match for students coming and going
everyday who needed a quick snack.
Seems like we’ve over-analysed the $1 Coke, but it goes to show that even the smallest things we buy
mindlessly from shops has market mechanisms in place to try lure us into buying the product. It’s so
simple to buy that Coke, isn’t it?
Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 567The New Way to Shop B Broadley Our world’s changing, there’s no doubt about it. But just when you think online shopping is destroying physical stores, these stores are coming back hard. In recent years the multinational technology company Amazon released a new concept store featuring no lines or checkout, and they have now 15 stores in the United States with more to come. Closer to home and Woolworths, one of Australia’s supermarket giants, is installing robots to process orders. All of this is driven by consumers’ changing needs and expectations in the retail market. Amazon has long been a leader and innovator in changing the way we shop. From creating a platform to buy and sell products; to tapping into the web services market, Amazon is paving the way for innovating our world. In certain cities you can now order a product in the morning and expect it to be delivered by the afternoon; how’s that for convenience? Although, as we always at some point need to run in to the store to grab something; Amazon is making this easier for us as well. If you head into an Amazon Go store in the United States, you just scan your phone and walk in. Once you’ve got all your items you just walk out, their intelligent system auto calculates what you’ve bought and that’s it. In Australia Woolworths is trying to do a similar thing to Amazon, by reducing customers time waiting for their orders from the online store. They’ve partnered with an American based robotic company to build a system to process orders, without the need of human labour. In effect this would reduce the overall cost and time to receive your purchase. Obviously, Woolworths’ new robotic system isn’t as advanced as what Amazon is doing in the United States, but hey it’s a start and I’m excited to see what lies in the future.

Valentine Holmes’ Fairy-tale
B Sinclair
Have you ever been told you can’t do something? Maybe, ‘you’ll never make the A’s team’, or ‘set 1 is far
beyond your capabilities’. Well, the former NRL player Valentine Holmes has defied the media in his
shock transfer to the NFL. The once Cronulla Shark, Queensland Origin star and Australian
representative has gone above expectations. After Jarrod Hayne’s NFL venture in 2016 that ended quite
abruptly, people thought that Holmes’ transfer was merely an impulsive lust for a dream. However,
Valentine proved to everyone his amazing ability and
determination in his recent debut in the NFL.
Valentine was born in 1995 and was signed by the Cronulla
Sharks when he was only 17. In 2016, Holmes was selected in the
Australian side, also debuting in the State of Origin for
Queensland. He scored a hattrick in Game III against New South
Wales. Holmes also won the NRL premiership in 2016 with the
Sharks. It is evident that Valentine was in seriously impressive
form, saying;
“I had a year left on my [Sharks] contract and I'm happy I made
this decision to come over and have a crack at this.”
He trained up to 12 hours a day learning the rules and athletic
demands of gridiron. Holmes left everything behind at the
Sharks and pursued his dream. He performed exceptionally well at the NFL combine workouts
consisting of tests such as the vertical jump, 40 yard dash, broad jump and others. In April of this year,
Holmes was signed by the New York Jets as part of the NFL’s international pathway program. His
determination and work ethic had defied the doubts.
Just recently, Holmes made his debut at running-back for the Jets. Reports say that Valentine showed
glimpses of blistering speed and soft hands. He made many runs for 10 yards plus spurred by his fellow
Australian quarterback Luke Falk. Holmes said;
“I was itching to get on. It was such a surreal experience it gave me goose bumps.”
So what can we learn from Valentine Holmes’ journey? Well, it shows that determination and
commitment lead to success and opportunity. Holmes defied the media, millions of dollar contracts in the
NRL and left everything behind to chase his dream. He worked extremely hard and showed this in his
debut. These characteristics were prevalent in the Old Boys Day at Northbridge. All the Shore teams were
playing with intensity regardless of their position in the match. It was an amazing day, with the
atmosphere by 3:15 for the 1st XV being the highlight in the Hawker Stand. As Summer sport approaches,
this lesson from Valentine Holmes of commitment and defying doubt should be applicable to all boys.
Chase that dream, make that team or crew, despite what anyone else thinks.
Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 569A Case for the Universal Basic Income
T Gordon
With the divisive current state of American politics, it
has seemed as if in recent times, even largely apolitical issues
have been the subject of heavy partisan debate. Issues ranging
from criminal justice reform to environmental policy have
evoked strong ideological debates and subsequently divided the
US congress quite decisively. However, with the Democratic
primaries quickly approaching, a range of new policies have
forced their way into public conversation, and one that I believe
has serious merit is Andrew Yang’s flagship policy of the
universal basic income (UBI), or “freedom dividend”. Yang
describes it as “a form of social security that guarantees a certain
amount of money to every citizen” and hence everybody from an
unemployed 18 year old to Bill Gates would receive a set sum of
money each month. I am of the opinion that this policy could be
the answer to America’s political divide, already having
garnered support from liberal progressives and conservative libertarians.
The policy comes from the backdrop of an increasingly automated workforce, where technological
advancement is making numerous jobs obsolete. A conventional view has held that while jobs will be
lost, more will be created and hence the problem of increasing unemployment will be kept in check.
While true, the jobs created have generally been highly skilled and specific and hence the structural shift
has meant, in the US in particular, low skilled, low paying positions have been destroyed. Thus, leaving
their former occupants unemployed and without a similar job to transition to. It is estimated that in the
next 12 years 1 out of 3 Americans will lose their jobs to automation.
From an economic standpoint the policy has several strong advantages. The UBI would provide a
strong, effective security net that would replace the current unemployment benefits system and pension
system. This does not mean that people would stop working, rather it encourages people to find jobs
that are a good fit for them without the same financial pressure that they would previously face on
unemployment benefits. It is important to note that the UBI is not a luxurious income and would ideally
supplement a prior income. Furthermore, a study by MIT found that there were “no effects of (cash)
transfers on work behaviour” so the evidence suggests that there wouldn’t be any reductions in size or
efficiency of the workforce.
Simulations of the UBI have shown that it would have strong positive impacts on the economy. The
concept of trickle-down economics is not supported by a substantial body of evidence and hence, Yang
suggests instead the idea of trickle up economics. It is undeniable that when people on low incomes
receive money, be that from tax receipts or elsewhere, they are substantially more likely to spend it than
Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 570wealthier people. The universal income supplements the whole population meaning the significantly larger lower to middle class in America would have more to spend, boosting the economy. Finally, one of the greatest benefits of the UBI is that it would recognise the contributions of people doing non-profit work such as caring for sick loved ones. Yang uses the example of his wife who stays at home looking after their kids, one of whom has autism. This is an example of the kind of essential work that unfortunately goes unrewarded and often unnoticed in today’s system. Now, it is inevitable that at this point one must question where this money would come from and whether policy like this would lead to a communist state. The answer to the former would revolve around an increase to the upper brackets of tax and in particular the corporate tax rate. Recent cuts to these two may have increased the wealth of the often mentioned 1% however there is not a lot of evidence to suggest, as mentioned earlier, that trickle-down theory has actually boosted the economy in the past. Furthermore, an increasingly stimulated economy would mean that people, in general would earn more, and hence more tax would be paid. Tax which would end up back in the hands of the taxpayer in the most direct way possible. The UBI would almost completely replace other social benefits, with the exception of medical related help, which would reduce the administrative burden on the government. Moreover, it would replace the pension system, meaning that the large portion of tax going to the pension would be more equitably distributed throughout the economy. To the latter question, this sort of policy is not communist or socialist. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos would still have their prodigious net worth, however their ability to profit off the increased efficiency of capital at the expense of human labour would be decreased. The UBI can be viewed as a means of sharing a nation’s prosperity, an unconditional cheque that benefits the whole country, not just those who own land and other capital. This is evident in the state of Alaska, where every citizen in the state receives a sum of money each month based on the profits of their oil industry. In this sense the UBI is not just a government handout, it’s the most efficient and fair way of distributing a country’s wealth. The reason for the widespread appeal of this proposed policy is simple; it takes the proposed solutions of the left and adjusts them to the concerns of the right. The problem of inefficiency in government spending is irrelevant, as the money is spent by the people, a part of the policy that has appealed significantly to libertarians. The policy would also truly help all citizens as everyone would have the right to the dividend, unlike cuts to tax brackets, where only people earning over that threshold benefit. It would be easy to dismiss this policy as radical or overly difficult to implement, however, a similar bill almost passed the United States Government in 1969. It wasn’t passed because Democrats, not Republicans, wanted a higher base income. Furthermore, it has been championed by several key figures in history, like Martin Luther King Jnr who spoke about a guaranteed national income on numerous occasions. While right now discussion around this policy has been limited to the US, we in Australia are not immune to the consequences of automation; one only has to go to Coles to see the self-serve checkouts taking jobs that once would have been occupied by people our age. It might seem like we are a long way away realistically from getting any such policy as evidenced by recent opposition to an increase in Newstart. However, our economy has been relatively stagnant over the last few years. With the interest rates approaching zero and quickly becoming ineffective, it might be time for the to government implement fiscal policy appropriate to our current economic situation.

Saturday 10 August After 12 weeks of competition spread across two terms the all-important final fixture of the Cross Country season was here. The GPS Championship decider hosted by Sydney Boys High at Centennial Park brought with it a welcome mood of excitement and anticipation. Friendly rivalry and banter were at their finest as the acclaimed Scots bagpipes bellowed across the start line one last time. Our final competition brought strong results across all age groups. A GPS Championship Medal was awarded to Nathan Stanmore who took out 1st place in the Junior U14s race on a day when it counted most. Isaac Lanham slotted right back into top 10 territory having been out of action for a couple of weeks and a PB from Lachlan Hunt ended the Juniors season on a high. Our large contingent of Intermediate runners continued to demonstrate that perseverance pays off with the majority of runners having made vast improvements, many more than thirty places. A top 10 finish from Matthew Afaras along with a top 20 finish for Will Nicholas was a great note to end on. Our most improved U16 runner for the season was Emerson Phillips and I look forward to hearing what future seasons hold for Emerson. This year we have had a number of runners represent the school and association at various levels and the success of these high performing individuals is to be commended, however the improvement and development of the less experienced runners is equally remarkable. Undoubtedly the most highly anticipated as well as the final race of the day was the Senior Opens. As I stood with my fellow Open team members for the very last time, I soaked up the atmosphere and revelled as I observed the strong team spirit, camaraderie and mateships forged across our tightly knit group. The Starting Marshall struggled to get a word in and couldn’t compete with the laughter, team antics and bagpipe action. As a large crowd gathered we managed to stay composed and let the frantic cheering from the sidelines spur us on until the starting gun sounded. A great start saw all Shore runners secure good positions out front. Hamish Longworth had another nail biting finish and a fantastic race placing 3rd overall. Hamish’s run along with solid performances from Lachlan Hall, Max Shadbolt and Xavier Phillips completed the Open Senior A team’s final race on a high. The season concluded with a team presentation to say thank you and to share well deserved recognition. The inaugural BOLT award recipient is Junior runner Nathan Stanmore who has consistently performed at a very high level all season and delivered many outstanding performances. The overall TICKER award for the season was awarded to Opens runner Hamish Longworth who always displays a large amount of ‘ticker’ in all aspects of his running and is simply unstoppable in his efforts. The illustrious MACHINE award is the most prestigious award given in Shore Cross Country and is presented to a member of the team who is a hard-working quiet achiever with incredible tenacity and determination. The recipient is always present at training and competitions all season long and demonstrates a high standard while encouraging others to do the same. Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 572
Intermediate runner Matthew Afaras is this year’s Machine Award recipient and he will
receive the 501 bib to wear proudly next season.
This is my final report for the season and the end of the road for my Cross Country journey at
Shore. It’s been such an honour to be a part of this team and I’d like to say a final few thank yous
to the many people who have helped and encouraged me along the way. I’ve really been
inspired by each and every member of the team. Running alongside the coaching staff each
week, no hierarchy, simply a mutual appreciation for the sport has been a particular highlight.
When I entered high school I could barely entertain the idea of running the block and would
never have imagined that with a few small words of encouragement, particularly from the Rev
Dudley in those early years, I would be running half marathons. MIC Mr. Brotherton’s support
and guidance in my final senior year and in my role as Captain have been invaluable and I hope
to see you on the start line of many marathons to come! Thank you Dr Auer, Mr Benn, Mr
Friend, Mr Palmer, Mr Stewart and of course coaches Ben St. Lawrence and Ruairidh
MacDonald for helping make Cross Country the well-oiled team that it is. I will particularly
miss our training runs to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and up Curry Mountain!
To my fellow team mates, thank you for running with me
each week, thank you for the part you played in my
journey. These years of training together have taught me so
much and I will take away many fond memories that will
stay with me for a lifetime of running.

The final windy round against Kings provided some mixed results. Some stand out efforts
include a hat-trick by Julian Teh in the 15F’s, Nick Zaleski getting 2 along with Cam Burnett in
the 14B’s and Tom Serhan the keeper in the 14 D’s also getting two away! A big thank you to all
the coaches and the referees for all your efforts this season. Also thanks to the parents for your
ongoing support on the side lines.
First X1 Report
The boys faced challenging conditions with an extremely strong south-westerly blowing across
the the Northbridge playing fields, with the temperature barely in double figures for the entirety
of the game. Shore started the first half with continuous pressure onto the Kings defence, which
started to show cracks, however the delivery of the final ball didn’t have the quality to break
down the opposition’s defensive line. WFroma half time score of nil all, the second half saw
Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 574Shore battle against the wind leading to poor decision making which allowed the Kings School to
rush into a 3 nil lead. True to form the Shore boys continued to battle and scored a consolation
goal from Nixon Maulbauer. A disappointing end to a season that showed promise and
something for the returning players to consider next season.
Second X1 Report
The 2nds finished the season with a 2-2 draw against Kings. After falling behind Shore
responded with two goals. Sam Dickson muscled the ball off a Kings defender before firing a
powerful shot into the net. Lachlan Whitehead’s strike deflected in after being set up by Max
Deutsch. Kings later equalised to lock the scores at 2-2.

Competition: Individual Stableford
After smiling on us for so long the weather gods turned a little nasty for the last round of the
season, dishing up a howling westerly to really test the swings and temperament of the golfers at
Royal Northbridge. But there was no rain so with a little rugging up it was a pleasant enough
day. And with a little imagination it was possible to get around somewhere near handicap.
What many less experienced players are yet to understand is the fact that the wind can have
quite a noticeable effect on putting when the greens are fast. And while the experienced golfers
might understand, putting that knowledge into practice is not always easy.
And so it was that tee to green some very solid golf was played with some of the lessons learned
through the year patent in the easy swings and consistent shot making. But on the greens there
was not much but the wailing and gnashing of teeth as the players racked up 40 odd putts for the
round. Unfortunately no one was able to trouble the prize committee this week.

Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 575Saturday 10 August Our 15A’s after their 43 – 7 win over Kings on Saturday completing an undefeated GPS Season On Saturday Shore played the final GPS Competition Round matches against The King’s School. Matches were also played against Waverley College & The Armidale School. The 1st XV rounded out their pre-match preparations with an emotional jersey presentation in front of each of the players’ parents and extended family. Following this the team was determined to finish the tough season on a high. When the team walked out they were greeted by what was easily the best atmosphere of any match this season. Despite the blustery conditions there was a huge and vocal crowd on hand to support the 1st XV in their final match. Shore were able to assert their physicality early with many dominant tackles, however field position favoured the visiting King’s side. King’s’ weight of territory and possession eventually wore the Shore team down and we were unable to stop a talented Kings backline from scoring several impressive tries. The Shore team and coaches were proud of their efforts and will always remember the wonderful atmosphere for the last match of the season. The 2nd XV had yet another close match, losing by only 2 points in their final fixture against Kings. Shore were very strong throughout the game and some dominant carries by Hugo Ohlsson, Jamie Clark and Ben Henchman ensured that the 2nd XV were able to get front foot ball. Shore went into half time with a 5 point lead thanks to a great try by Hugo Ohlsson and through a conversion and penalty goal from Charlie Murray. Unfortunately, Kings were able to regain the lead in the second half and whilst the 2ndXV scored a late try through Charlie Murray they left their run home a little too late and finished with a 17 – 19 loss. The 3rd XV finished the season off with an outstanding display of strong defence alongside some strong running in attack. The team displayed patience and resilience throughout and must be commended on finishing the season with a memorable win over The King’s School by 25 to 12. Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 576

43 – 7 win to conclude what was a stellar season for them. The 15B’s (31 – 7) and 15D’s
(66 – 7) also recorded big wins. The 15C’s made a great comeback to draw 26 all, while
our 15E’s played some great attacking rugby but eventually went down 29 – 50.
Our U14’s had a very challenging set of fixtures against a very strong Kings age group.
The 14A’s (0 – 60), 14B’s (5 – 39), 14C’s (7 – 52), 14D’s (5 – 73) and 14E’s (35 – 57) all lost.

13A’s (17 – 35), 13D’s (36 – 39) and 13E’s (17 – 22) all lost in very competitive matches.
Meanwhile the 13B’s (19 – 5), 13C’s (43 – 0) and 13F’s (39 – 5) all posted strong wins.
Special mentions to James Anderson (13D) for scoring four tries and to Rusty Debney-

Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 578Saturday 10 August Juniors The Junior side took on Barker 1 in windy conditions last Saturday and the opposition were leading 17 nil at quarter time after running with the breeze. Shore then dominated the second quarter scoring 16 to 1 and so the game was delicately poised at half time. Shore had a couple of key players out and only one reserve on the bench and Barker gradually started to take control of the match and were able to maintain a safe buffer through to the end. Strong performers for Shore were Ted Coakley, William Cole, Matthew Gill, Marcus Warner and Joel Wyborn. Goal scorers were: W Cole (1), H Frewin (1), T Florentzos (1), T Latimer (1). Result: Shore: 4 – 7 – 31 lost to Barker 1: 6 – 9 – 45 Intermediates An excellent victory by Shore against a talented opposition. It was an extremely windy day with difficult conditions for both sides. Nick Stratton was again excellent in the ruck with Isaac Foote, Alexei Stewart, Matt Derbidge and Max Russell controlling the ball through the midfield. Alex Wyborn, Charlie Marshall, Oscar Perez and Zac Warburton were solid in defence all day, repelling several attacks by Riverview. Cameron Dahlsen, Jonathan Saunders and Jacob Saxby provided excellent forward pressure. Shore spent the final three quarters clawing its way back from an early four goal deficit with Alexei Stewart kicking the winning goal with only 30 seconds remaining. A wonderful team win with all boys playing a role in the victory. It was a tremendous way to end the season and finish with a 9-1 record. Well done to all boys on the way they conducted themselves and the spirit in which they undertook all games. Goal scorers were A Stewart (3), J Saxby (2), R Adams (1), I Foote (1). Result: Shore: 7 – 8 – 50 def St Ignatius White: 7 – 3 – 45 Seniors The Seniors took on St Aloysius for the first time this season and both teams were keen to register a win. The game was physical from the start and the opposition dominated the clearances. Shore defended well, but St Aloysius certainly created more scoring opportunities. Goals were hard to come by and Shore was down 13 to 24 at half time. The game opened up in the third quarter and both teams kicked 3 goals, meaning that the game was there for the taking. As it turned out St Aloysius lifted a gear in the final term and were able to kick six unanswered goals to open up an impressive margin. Shore’s best on the day were Sean Metelovski, Isaac Edmunds, Charlie Rigby and Eddie Court. Goal scorers were J Dahlsen (2), D Adam-Smith (1), E Court (1), B Elsum (1), T Gordon (1). Result: Shore: 6 – 2 – 38 lost to St Aloysius: 12 – 9 – 81 P J Cameron Toby Bartrop handballs to Isac Edmunds with teammates shepherding Friday, 16 August 2019 Page 579

Max Entwistle (Year 8) and his mum, Kylie, with a score of 336. Third place was gained by
Hugo Friend (Year 8) and his dad, Micah, with a score of 332. ‘King of the Range’ this year was
Ben Roe with a very good score of 187 out of 200. Top parent scores were Michael Roe with 189,
James Hall 181 and Kylie Entwistle with 166. The presentation of the Small-bore shield was
followed by drinks, pies and sausage rolls to complete the event. The day proved very
enjoyable and rewarding for all shooters.
