PECKISH priests at a North Perth monastery can’t fi nd a cook to rustle up their lunch.

The Redemptorist Monastery, home to seven clergy, has been looking for a kitchen-hand since April when its elderly cook retired.

A two-week advertising blitz in the West Australian, Gumtree and The Record earlier this month attracted zero applicants. So the Voice decided to lend a hand.

Hospitality Group Training manager Iain McDougall says the WA industry is suffering its worst

skills shortage in 25 years.“In three years’ time, WA will

need an additional 1500 cooks and chefs to meet demand,” he says.

“The training system will generate around 150 chefs during that time, which is only 10 per cent of what we need.”

The monastery did manage to secure a chef via St Mary’s Cathedral for a few weeks, but she was over-familiar and kept calling the priests “sugababes”.

An elderly volunteer is currently fi lling-in as a makeshift cook, but monastery manager Bernadette Glass is keen to get a professional onboard.

“We’re going to advertise in the newspapers again,” she said.

“It’s strange because we’re not looking for a fl ash cook; just someone to rustle up soup, a hot dish and dessert for lunch.

“I was surprised we didn’t attract a single applicant, because the hours are perfectly suited for someone with kids or who wants the afternoon to themselves.”

The position is Monday to Friday, 9am—2pm, and involves ordering stock, cooking lunch and keeping the kitchen tidy.

Mr McDougall says key factors affecting the chef shortage are mining companies poaching

kitchen staff with highly paid jobs, cooks travelling overseas to work and a surge in restaurant numbers.

“Reality cooking shows like MasterChef increase the awareness of cooking, but they don’t actually produce more cooks—it doesn’t represent the reality of the hard training required to become a chef,” he says.

Vincent mayor Alannah MacTiernan—Mr Day’s predecessor in the Labor government—says, “the decision

is disappointing, however it was probably the best that the city could have expected”.

She notes the decision imposes strict conditions including close monitoring, dust and cement management, noise attenuation and four other pages of restrictions.

She’s now planning an “exit strategy” to ensure the plants go when their time is up.

“The application for approval to operate indefi nitely from those sites has been rejected,” she says.

“This gives us the opportunity to work with all parties to develop an exit strategy, and there will need to be an exit strategy as more residents move into the new apartment blocks that are being developed in the area.”

ABOUT 60 free-speech activists defi ed Perth city council by-laws and protested without permits last Saturday.

The Defend Free Speech in Perth group says the PCC is unfairly cracking down on freedom of speech by demanding they pay hefty fees (up to $655 for Forrest Place) before staging protests.

They want the right to freely assemble and protest, hold signs, set up stalls to collect petitions, and also want to stick up posters to advertise events.

Despite the PCC being given the heads up a day before the protest, not a single ranger or council offi cial showed up on the day.

“City of Perth by-laws contravene our basic right to free speech, and we intend to defy these laws,” activist Jess McLeod warned the PCC before the rally.

“Activists, community and not-for-profi t groups face enough hurdles, without the

• Victoria Martin-Iverson risks a Perth city council fi ne. Photo supplied: Alex Bainbridge

city council cracking down on us for distributing information and getting petitions signed.

“These laws clearly disadvantage those who cannot afford the fees, and furthermore, the City of Perth council should not have the fi nal decision over what issues are allowed to be brought to the public.”

The protestors regard the lack of council presence as a win.

“People are outraged when they hear about the actions taken by the City of Perth at recent activist events, so it is good that they seem to be pulling their heads in,” activist Alex Bainbridge says.

“It is too early to say that we

have won a complete victory, but either way, we are not intimidated.”

A free speech festival is planned for July 7.

PCC CEO Frank Edwards says rangers kept an eye on the event Saturday “to see if any disruption was occurring”.

Mr Edwards says people are allowed to assemble and protest but stalls and posters need permission.

“This group should not assume they are somehow different from the rest of the community when it comes to complying with by-laws,” he said.

Permit protestPERTH city council has cancelled a series of fi nes that Alex Bainbridge intended to fi ght in court.

The PCC had slugged him $400 for setting up a stall without a permit, $120 for causing an obstruction in a thoroughfare and $100 for failing to obey authority.

Mr Bainbridge had planned to use the court cases to test the by-laws’ legitimacy, believing

they might contravene the Constitution’s implied right to freedom of political speech.

“The fact that City of Perth seems reluctant to actually prosecute the alleged breaches of by-laws shows that they don’t have a strong legal case for the actions they’ve taken,” he says.

PCC CEO Frank Edwards wouldn’t say why the fi nes were withdrawn.

HYDE PARK’S bird man is missing his bird.

For untold years an old Croatian bloke Alex has been cycling into Hyde Park to play chess, with corella Cheeky in his bike basket.

But now the bird has gone missing from his Lincoln Street unit and Alex has been cycling solo.

Voice reader Karen Shannahan alerted us to the missing bird, and says she recently approached Alex after noticing him out and about without the bird.

“I went up to him and said ‘hi, I believe you’re Alex,’ and ‘where’s your bird’?”

“He says ‘I don’t know. I think it was stolen’.”

Alex has posted signs around Hyde Park imploring people to call him on 0401 024 186 if they’ve seen the bird. It went missing May 7.

Alex and Cheeky are such iconic fi gures around the park that in 2006 artist Judith Forrest paid homage with the sculpture Pieces of Leisure in the west end of the park.

It once featured a mini-statue of Cheeky, but bogans stole it. We’ve heard the Vincent council is looking into ways to more thoroughly secure a replacement.

A FIVE-STOREY building proposed for Peninsula Road in Maylands is being opposed by a coalition of local residents and Labor MP Lisa Baker, who fear it will worsen traffi c problems.

Last year a 25-year old mother was killed when walking her son in a pram along Peninsula Road. Main Roads fi gures reveal that between 2006 and 2010, six people were injured in the 450m stretch between Kirkham Hill Terrace and Fogerthorpe Crescent.

Some 85 per cent of vehicles involved exceeded the 50kph limit between 7–13kmh.

The proposed $6.25 million complex by Royal Group Construction and Development includes 62 units and 79 basement parking bays.

Local resident Julie Austin-Dear says it’s too big, with its plot ratio “way outside of the acceptable development criteria for the plot’s R30 zoning”.

She says Peninsula Road is “already very busy and relatively narrow” and can’t handle more traffi c.

Ms Baker says the developers

• Residents oppose a fi ve-storey development on Peninsula Road. Photo by Jeremy Dixon

should not be able to use an eight-storey apartment block next door in their favour, saying, “recognition must be given to the fact that apartment towers of this nature were the planning mistakes of the 1960s and 1970s”.

“I also hold grave road safety concerns about the impact extra cars entering and exiting Peninsula Road—the only main access road in and out of the Maylands’ peninsula—will have.”

The developers have elected to completely bypass Bayswater

council and have the application heard by one of the new development assessment panels, comprised of three unelected offi cials appointed by the Barnett government, and two local councillors.

Earlier this year a DAP approved a Coles-owned First Choice liquor store for Maylands, over the objections of residents, a 700-signature petition and of Bayswater city council. That decision illustrates the power in the hands of the largely unelected DAPs.

Change neededYOUR front-page story (Voice, May 26, 2012) about the number of very high income earners across our many councils certainly seems to validate the need for local government change.

At the very least, amalgamating administrative services so more councils would benefi t from what appears, from the pay levels, to be a bunch of highly qualifi ed and skilled personal would seem a reasonable step forward for the communities.

Of course, we only have their word for their achievements to deserve these high levels of pay. Can we really believe the 89 per cent satisfaction from Stirling customers when voting day usually brings out less than 35 per cent of the community—or is that some other “customers” they are talking about?

Also, making comparisons with energy executives is not a good strategy when I’m not sure whether we are all totally happy with what we get from them!

Other government departments are constantly being measured by how well they spend their budgets to deliver the outcomes that have been agreed. How is it then that local government management can consistently go into the red, and/or fall behind with infrastructure outcomes while CEOs and other executives still stay on their highly paid contracts. Roll on the local government review. Perhaps we will see some sanity come from that.

Winter’s hereWELCOME to offi cial winter, Voicelanders.

What a giggle. The frame of my fl y-wire door still gets hot. Did anyone notice autumn?

My delightful liquidambar is only now putting on its gold, orange and ruby shimmer—a fi nal fl ing before moulting.

Last year about now I spent time in the so-called Liverpool summer where the wind rushed up the Mersey from the Irish Sea to deliver icy sabre slashes.

I fi rst arrived here in the late 1970s for sake of a slipping disc. Each trip to the UK reminds me why I’m always glad to return to Perth and WA with, for me, its perpetual summer.

Speed hazardTHE recent “beautifi cation” of Oxford Street, Leederville—the installation of meters and lowering the speed limit from 50kph to 30kph (10kph lower than school zones)—appears to have created a major accident blackspot.

After turning left into Oxford Street from Vincent Street, my vehicle proceeding in a northerly direction, hurtled recklessly at 39kph into the awaiting lens of a radar camera operated by a person who was obviously on a rest break from solving major crime in the area.

This misdemeanour incurred a fi ne of $75 with no demerit points.

Being a sceptic, obviously this stretch of road isn’t a ‘’cash cow’’ for our law enforcers, however please take care when travelling here in the future.

Keith HuntMarian St, Leederville

Roundabout responseDEAR Mr Buswell, I suppose I should thank you for your roundabout response to my email regarding Mt Lawley station, even though you responded via Perth Pravda aka Perth Voice (May 26, 2012), the paper of record for crackpots, losers, communists and busybodies rather than my original enquiry.

Your reply raises more questions than it answers. For instance, which are these stations that you claim are even more sparsely utilised than Mt Lawley?

As an aside, I still believe the close-to-life-size sculptural fi gures were chosen to make the platform appear busy, but—Daglish, right? It’s Daglish isn’t it? The last and only person I have ever seen get on the train in Daglish had two unicycles with him.

I accept your assertion that use of public transport is on the increase, but the full-to-bursting trains arriving from Joondalup

• Voice cartoonist Chatfi eld told us he was heading to the US for two weeks. We thought it’d be great to get a couple of America-inspired ’toons. “This is where I am right this minute,” he replied to our email. “No chance of getting to a drawing board I’m afraid. Perhaps next week! Got to go. Wife thinks I’m

working on our honeymoon.” The lack of commitment has been noted.

and Midland would suggest the real growth is further out than Mt Lawley. That was the point I was making. Why support a commuter desert like Mt Lawley when the real needs are further down the line?

And as to the school children using this station. I can’t really think of which schools this line serves, and in any case, what is that bike path next to the rail line for? If the bike path is to soon reach hell holes like Guildford Grammar, then shouldn’t these fi t young punks from Mt Lawley be riding their $3000 bikes there instead of hopping on a train?

And by the way, why aren’t you opening a small bar? I would suggest somewhere near Bayswater station. Maylands is played already.

WH O r e a l l y r u n s this country? The announcement by

the federal government that it has struck its fi rst Enterprise Migration Agreement with the world’s richest woman Gina Rinehart reveals just how eager our governments are to serve the mining billionaires.

Youth unemployment in Kwinana is at 26.4 per cent. So why a skills shortage?

Governments have stripped training schemes, removed apprentice ratios from awards, kept trainee wages pitifully low, not made apprenticeships a condition of government contracts and privatised institutions like Telstra and the railway workshops that used to provide tradespeople for the whole economy.

The two big stevedoring companies in Fremantle haven’t put on a single apprentice for more than two decades.

The big multi-nationals all want skilled workers, but none want to pay for it. Their solution? Poach them from small business or bring in “guest workers”.

These workers are over a barrel because they depend on the employer for their visa. There are plenty of examples of some being subject to terrible exploitation.

Of course, even if we make big business pay its way, restore apprentice ratios and match the people with the jobs, the massive

SAM WAINWRIGHT is a Fremantle city councillor, former wharfi e and MUA member, disability support worker and convenor of the

Walyalup-Fremantle branch of Socialist Alliance. He’s crook about 457s.

Boom for someexpansion in both the mining and offshore oil and gas industries will still need workers from both interstate and overseas.

Let’s welcome them—Australia was built by migrants. But there should be no category of second-class worker who can be thrown out when the boss doesn’t want them any more.

The migrants who made Australia home after the Second World War were given permanent residency with full citizenship rights. They became a vital part of our society. That’s how it should be today.

As long as a “guest worker” system exists, bosses will use it to push down everyone’s conditions. Gillard must scrap it.

Meanwhile Allseas, a contractor to Chevron on the Gorgon project, is bringing in workers on tourist visas and employing them on third-world wages.

Allseas contends that in waters excised from the Migration Zone in 2001, Australian labour law does not apply to vessels servicing the offshore oil and gas industry. On May 18 the Federal Court agreed.

So under international law the resources belong to Australia but Australian labour law does not apply. Mining bosses’ heaven!

The MUA is fi ghting this tooth

and nail. If generalised it would wipe out the Australian seafarer.

H o w a r d ’ s a n t i - r e f u g e e hysteria, his “weapon of mass distraction” is being used to directly attack our seafarers’ existence. The federal Labor government must be made to tear up this poisonous legacy too.

In 2010 the mining companies boasted about rolling Kevin Rudd and the Resource Super Profi t Tax. The watered down Mineral and Petroleum Resource Rent Tax may generate even less revenue in a downturn .

It’s all a far cry from Norway, whose state-owned oil company takes a 50 per cent stake in every project and then imposes a 90 per cent tax on the profi ts of the private partner, or of Venezuela and Bolivia that just nationalised their oil and gas industries outright.

Thanks to Barnett’s cutbacks the Disability Services Commission is planning to abolish the positions of 34 community social trainers who help adults with disabilities perform daily tasks.

Many are already missing out on this so-called boom, and we’re going backwards.

It really is time to share the wealth—OUR wealth, not Gina’s. That’s not the “politics of envy”, it’s the politics of social justice.

I SAW in last week’s Perth Voice an advertisement from a Liberal MP listing

the “benefi ts” of the 2012/13 State Budget. I looked long and hard for the benefi ts to people living in my electorate.

The first and biggest issue people continue to raise with me is the struggle they face paying bills, especially electricity (up by 62 per cent), water (up by 47 per cent), gas (up by 57 per cent) and rent.

The recent axing of the Hardship Efficiency Program (HEP) which taught people how to reduce their power bills, is the latest example of the Barnett government’s bad decisions and wrong priorities.

The government’s justifi cation is the HEP funding is to be better spent giving people a cash hand-out.

And what about Bayswater’s

MAYLANDS Labor MP LISA BAKER says the State Budget left a lot to be desired.

community-based organisation Environment House which ran the HEP program? Its 14 trained staff are all now jobless, with just two weeks’ notice.

In my electorate, public transport is a top priority—overcrowding on trains, not enough car parking at train stations, lack of feeder bus services, traffic congestion, the need for more bike paths…. Surely there must be a commitment in the 2012/13 State Budget for extra train carriages or more frequent train services on the Midland line? No.

Look out for WA transport minister Troy Buswell who, I’m sure, will soon “re-announce” extra car bays at local train stations—car bays that were promised four years ago, and may be fi nished by the end of this year.

Possibly in time for the 2013 election.

The people of my electorate will welcome the extra bays (even if they are a long time coming) and the spruce-up of Bayswater train station.

But they will also be asking why the government is delaying work on the much needed airport link until 2031.

In summary, I call this the Barnett government’s “nip and tuck” budget—a cosmetic makeover, four years overdue.

The real work remains to be done—leaving Maylands residents struggling with Barnett’s arrogance, bad decisions and top-end of town priorities as he pushes on with utilities price hikes and building his palace on the hill.

WHILE no-one could ever prove who poisoned the tree on Namur Street outside the North Perth Bowls Club, Vincent city council has long had its suspicions someone at the club might be responsible.

Cr Dudley Maier (right) wants to charge the club extra rent to make up the loss of the now-dead tree’s $20,000 to $40,000 value (according to the Burnley Valuation Method, which considers height, shade, and life expectancy).

At last week’s council meeting he sought to raise the club’s annual rent from $2600 to $4600, but failed to garner even a single supporter.

“The tree was a magnifi cent specimen

BAYSWATER is the only council in Voiceland that doesn’t record its council meetings.

In October 2010 the council voted to abolish recording, with Cr Graham Pittaway saying it was important to stop because some councillors were poring over tapes, nitpicking for misspoken words to take to lawyers.

Since his return to council the year before, he’d noted councillors had requested recordings 10 times “in my opinion, for their own reasons”.

New Cr Chris Cornish, elected in October, wants recordings to start again and he also wants audio made available on the council’s website.

“A lot of people are unable to attend the monthly council meeting

due to work/family commitments or transportation diffi culties,” he said.

“I know in the past there was opposition to recording the council meetings because of time constraints placed on staff who were later asked to scour over the recordings in order to identify potentially incriminating comments.

“Posting the recordings on the website will circumnavigate the staff: If anyone wants to fi nd out what was said they can check for themselves.”

Cr Cornish says the cost will be negligible and it will make the council more open and transparent.

Vincent, Stirling and Perth city councils don’t automatically release audio

and whomever poisoned it should be ashamed of themselves,”council CEO John Giorgi said in 2010.

The club had asked for its removal but because it was “a semi-mature native tree in excellent condition” the council rejected the request

and pruned it instead.A couple of weeks later the council’s

tree team noticed it had sickened, and discovered holes drilled into the base, which had been fi lled with poison.

The club strenuously denies involvement, with president Mark Goodridge saying members were happy with the pruning.

recordings to the public, but they are available on demand.

PCC CEO Frank Edwards isn’t a fan of open slather: “All council meetings are open to the public to attend and therefore if people wish to listen to the detailed debate, they should attend the meeting,” he said.

Vincent mayor Alannah MacTiernan says she is unaware of any public demand for council audio.

Bayswater mayor Terry Kenyon says publicly-available minutes suffi ce.

“Technology has changed and today the recommendations, amendments and the fi nal resolutions are captured by the minute-taker in real time, and agreed on-screen during the meeting,” he said.

A 1902 property in Mt Lawley has been saved from the developer’s wrecking ball.

The building, at the corner of Second Avenue and Beaufort Street, falls within the Mt Lawley heritage protection area and required approval for demolition.

Stirling city councillors were forced into a corner after two independent heritage reports disagreed about whether to save the commercial property, now occupied by Liquorland.

Cr David Michael said the modest-looking building could be returned to its “former glory”.

“A lot of the changes made to this building are reversible,” he said.

“It still has the original parapet walls and timber awnings.”

Ironically, a garbage truck crashed into the awnings of the building earlier this month, smashing the roof and causing traffi c woes along Beaufort Street.

It clipped the store causing damage to the security camera, signage and protruding awning.

Police had to close a lane in Beaufort Street and the entrance to Second Avenue until the early afternoon.

Council went against the offi cer’s recommendation and blocked demolition.

PREMIER Colin Barnett has been labelled a “forelock-tugging lap dog” after proposing Elizabeth Quay as the name for the Perth waterfront project.

Furious there was no opportunity for the public to have input into the name, Aboriginal Legal Service CEO Dennis Eggington says the name “reeks of colonial cringe”.

“The premier excuses such secrecy by citing the need to follow royal protocol in seeking permission from Britain to name one of Australia’s iconic wonders,” he scoffed.

“Had the premier extended the same courtesy to the Nyoongar People he would have been informed that this

MAYLANDS train commuters are sick of “being late for work” and of “aggressive behaviour from other commuters” according to a local MP’s survey.

Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker handed out 300 pocket-size surveys to passengers at the Maylands and Bayswater train stations in April.

ComplaintsShe received 38 replies, with

complaints ranging from getting bags and bodies stuck in the train door to having to step off the train to let other commuters out and a fear of falling over due to a lack of hang-on straps or poles.

Thirty-seven replies had experienced overcrowding and wanted the government to buy more carriages.

Survey respondents also backed calls

spiritually signifi cant natural feature has had a name for tens of thousands of years.

“Perhaps the premier’s forelock tugging will result in a knighthood, however it would be more appropriate for the Queen to name her latest lap dog Colin the Corgi.”

But Mr Barnett, says the name is appropriate after more than 100,000 turned out to see the Queen and Prince Philip at the Big Barbecue on the Esplanade during their visit to Perth for CHOGM. This year is also the diamond jubilee (60th anniversary) of her coronation.

“It is only fi tting that the area which is currently being transformed into an exciting and inclusive precinct for all West Australians should honour the Queen,” Mr Barnett said.

Perth lord mayor Lisa Scaffi fi says there should have been more consultation and perhaps recognition the project is made possible by mining resources from the north-west of the state.

She says WA has a history of naming things after British royals and enough’s enough.

There are two hospitals, two suburbs, many streets, Kings Park, Queens Gardens, His Majesty’s Theatre, King George Sound and even the Queen Victoria Spring Nature Reserve. The Queen already has the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre named after her.

“Let’s move on and be proud and loud in our 21st century and who we are and have become as a proud member of the Commonwealth but a strong city on the global stage in our own right,” she said.

Royal honour prompts ‘Colin the Corgi’ jibe

for a light rail system and more cycle paths.

Peak-hour trains on the Midland line are operating at 80 per cent and are projected to operate at 93 per cent capacity by 2016.

Ms Baker has campaigned incessantly for two years for transport minister Troy Buswell to deploy more carriages on the line, to no avail.

“It takes about two years between the ordering and delivery of a train carriage, so the government should be ordering new carriages now,” she says.

“Our position is that we need the 15 new three-car sets to catch up and then around 10 additional rail cars each year to meet growth.”

Last year 700 commuters signed Ms Baker’s petition calling on the Barnett government to address train overcrowding.

Mr Buswell says the Liberal-National government is spending $165 million on 45 new carriages and investing more in buses than has been seen in a decade.

DEAL OF THE WEEK!

The Perth Voice

For our next edition only ON Saturday Rachel Visser

won Miss NAIDOC Perth, amidst a fl urry of confetti and

newspaper headlines. But once the fl ash bulbs dim and the red

carpet fades, what are the chances of a 23 year-old Aboriginal woman making it as a professional full-time model?

The statistics are bleak: There was only one indigenous model on the catwalk at the 2011 Perth Fashion Festival.

Only two Aboriginal women have ever graced the cover of Vogue Australia.

Shannon McGuire, partner of West Coast Eagles legend David Wirrpanda, is one of a handful of indigenous women from Perth to make it in the industry.

Shot to fameAlong with Samantha Harris and Emily

Cattermole she represents the small coterie of indigenous modelling talent.

McGurie, who’d shot to fame as a contestant on Australia’s Next Top Model in 2005, says some models living in that show’s house had enjoyed a sheltered life.

“The eastern states girls were all nice to me, but some of them said I was the fi rst Aboriginal person they had ever met,” she told the Voice.

“I was pretty taken aback, it surprised me.”

McGuire says she initially attracts attention for her “unique” look, but acknowledges it can be hard to get mainstream commercial work.

“The commercial look for Australia tends to be a beachy, blue-eyed, blonde hair look.

“So it can be diffi cult to break into that

• Miss NAIDOC Perth fi nalists (winner Rachel Visser is fourth from left, in the blue sash). Photo by Stephen Pollock

market with darker skin.“Models can be bitchy, but I never

received any stick because of my indigenous background.”

PFF director Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan says she would have “loved” to have used more Aboriginal models at PFF, but none were available at the time.

“I believe that competitions such as the Kimberley Girl model search are a step in the right direction toward increasing the number of indigenous models in WA,” she says.

“I hope that this and other competitions will result in an increased presence of indigenous models in Perth , and consequently on the PFF runway.”

Encouragingly, The Dreamtime Sessions at this year’s Perth Fashion Week were dedicated solely to Aboriginal designers.

Small inroads are also being made at a global level and in May 2010 Samantha Harris was the second woman of Aboriginal

descent to feature on the cover of Vogue.The 19-year-old Queenslander followed

Elaine Harris, who’d landed a cover in 1993.Harris and Cattermole have since

worked on advertising campaigns for worldwide brands Levis, Saba, Oroton, Country Road and Berlei.

“Models of multi-racial descent have generally been very successful worldwide as they tend to have a unique look,” Harvey-Hanrahan says.

In December 2011 Harris signed a two-year extension to her fashion ambassadorship with major retailer David Jones.

According to a study by www.jezebel.com, just 16 per cent of models employed at the 2010 New York Fashion week were coloured, a far cry from the actual make-up of the general population.

Reconciliation Week, which celebrates cooperation between indigenous and non-indigenous people, ends Sunday.

STIRLING city council has taken “a baby step” towards a rapprochement with its Aboriginal community.

Last year, on the eve of NAIDOC week, mayor David Boothman conceded relations were strained, saying “we need to do more work on this at a council level”.

It was only in November 2010 that the council voted to permit the Aboriginal fl ag to fl y during NAIDOC and reconciliation week.

Neighbouring Vincent fl ies the Aboriginal fl ag every day.

Since the Voice’s report last year Cr Boothman has presided over bimonthly Aboriginal Action Group meetings between the council and local elders.

The meetings have resulted in a community art project at the Nollamara Community Centre, help for Aboriginal mums at the Herb Graham leisure centre and a weekly Aboriginal day at Nollamara Community Centre.

Elder Doolan Leisha Eatts says the relationship is far from perfect.

“The mayor is a good bloke and his heart is in the right place,” she says. “But some of the other staff and councillors aren’t interested.

“For instance, we weren’t consulted about what type of Noongar art was to be displayed at the Nollamara Community Centre.

“Other councils like Gosnells offered us petrol money to get to meetings. At Stirling we had to keep pestering them for it.

“We have made progress—but only a baby step.”

Cr Boothman says building trust with Aboriginal elders takes time.

“Some of these initiatives have taken up to two years to establish the connections, respect and trust,” he notes.

the Aboriginal elders or community but believe the members of the AAG would appreciate the genuine intent of council to continue to develop the relationships over the next few years.”

Neighbouring Vincent celebrated reconciliation week on Sunday with the recognition of Banks Reserve as a place of harmony between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.

Ms Eatts says she’d enjoyed a good relationship with former mayor Nick Catania but hadn’t met Alannah MacTiernan since she’d taken charge in October.

Stirling council will hold a breakfast during NAIDOC week (July 1–8) for Aboriginal elders at the Nollamara Community Centre.

Baby steps bear fruit

by DAVID BELL

VINCENT deputy mayor Warren McGrath is hoping to ease the pain of increased residential densities with a plan that could see old buildings reused, rather than new apartment blocks built.

The council has been wrestling with the WA government’s insistence that inner-city areas increase density: A few unpopular projects were approved recently, including a seven-unit block on Angove Street, a six-unit block on Anderson Street and another couple of big ones on Newcastle Street and in Claisebrook.

Despite local disquiet the council gave the nod, saying they were within height and bulk rules and that if they’d been rejected they would simply have been approved by the powerful state administrative tribunal, costing everyone involved time and money.

The decisions led former councillor Simon Chester to proclaim the council’s community-led vision for the city was dead.

While Cr McGrath doesn’t agree the Vincent Vision is dead, he has asked staff to “develop a strategy for improving outcomes in new residential, commercial and mixed use development”.

His idea was unanimously backed by the councillors who’ve been feeling plenty of heat from unhappy residents.

A report on the strategy will be ready by August.

MOUNT LAWLEY is one of my favourite spots in Perth: Art

deco houses, leafy avenues, kebab shops.

So visiting the Beaufort Street Merchant for a slap-up Sunday lunch seemed an entirely natural thing to do.

Small and elegant—like Bert Newton in tights—its menu limits the customer to one page of choices.

It has a mix of breakfast dishes (chorizo omelette, backed ricotta), salads (chickpea) and brassiere-style mains (pork cotoletta, pedro shank, catalan fi sh).

In addition to mains, there’s a couple of platters to share and enigmatic-sounding mushrooms stuffed with pearl barley ($24).

I ordered the coq au vin pie ($29.50) and seasonal greens ($9.50), while ‘er indoors went for the merchant burger ($23).

The coq au vin presentation was quirky: a chicken thigh bone, wrapped in crispy bacon, protruded from the top.

It alluded to a dog raising its

FOODSTEPHEN POLLOCK

hind-leg at a lamppost; albeit a pedigree poodle on the ritzy Champs-Élysées.

The pie was surrounded by a moat of sweet potato mash and red wine jus: Ingenious presentation which caused ‘er indoors to intermittently peer over her napkin.

The mash was addictive, especially when combined with the slow-cooked chook and mushroom on the tip of my fork.

The good lady’s burger arrived on a wooden board with a bowl of hand-cut chips and aioli—a rustic triumvirate.

The patty was sandwiched in between two slices of French-style bread, which were fl uffy and light.

“The best burger I’ve had in Perth: the beef was melt-in-the-mouth and the seasoning perfect,” she swooned.

We both tucked into refulgent

greens laced with butter: a tasty stack of asparagus and broccoli.

Merchant’s interior is art installation cum wine cellar: Saloon doors affi xed to the ceiling, giant cutlery pinned to the wall and baroque mirror frames.

It was like sitting inside a gentleman’s club designed by Damien Hirst.

There were plenty of cosy nooks to hide amongst Champagne bottles, as well as a brightly-lit window area.

Unfortunately we got stuck beside a garrulous American who thought the whole world revolved around his ego.

The Merchant, opened in 2005 by a brother and sister team, has built a reputation for quality and freshness.

It lives up to its hype and serves superior tucker.

Worried about keeping your home safe andsecure while you’re on holidays,

at work or even in the house? The most important item in making your home safe from intruders is often overlooked when security is considered. Of course it’s your meterbox! The meterbox is like the heart of your home - without power you have no lights, no cordless phone, no elec-tricity and in some cases no security systemThieves can switch off your power at the meterbox just to see if you have an active alarm system. Don’t rely on back-up batteries - they frequently fail be-cause the use by date has been overlooked. Thieves would much rather go elsewhere than rob your home if the meterboxes are professionally locked up by the Meterbox Man. Locking your meterbox is recommended by the Police, Western Power, Alinta Gas, RAC and all insurance companies. So for peace of mind and a safer home call the Meterbox Man.

worse than squeezing into a pair of marble-

wash jeans you’d bought in 1985.

With every passing step the button threatens to explode.

The same applies for houses: Why squeeze into a shoebox in the inner city when you can buy a bigger house slightly further out.

With this classy Dianella house you get a lot of space for your buck.

It has been designed with taste and eschews vulgar displays of wealth in favour of restraint.

Jarrah is ubiquitous in WA houses and I never tire of its rich, warm hue.

This house blends jarrah fl oorboards with cream walls and high ceilings: A classy triumvirate.

Out the back is a real man’s pool; not one of those splash pools that can only accommodate jockeys and hobbits.

It is deep and stylish: a blue jigsaw puzzle carved into limestone pavers.

It would take a few powerful strokes and kicks to traverse its limpid waters.

Fringing the pool are spiky palms and a covered alfresco area, which has plenty of room for tables and chairs.

Another covered alfresco area has been used as a games room, which includes a pool table with red baize.

It is the perfect spot for dad to guzzle beer and pretend he is “Fast Eddie” in The Hustler.

One of the garages has been converted into a teenage den—

its walls decked with guitars, saxophones and a wide-screen TV.

There is also a games console and PC to while away cold winter nights, assuming an amorous interloper is not on the agenda.

An ingenious use of an area which is too often strewn with dusty boxes, junk and unwanted exercise equipment.

All three bedrooms are cosy and relaxing, ensuring a pleasant night’s sleep.

The L-shaped kitchen is bright and well-equipped, featuring a nice mix of stainless steel and white workbenches.

At the small part of the L is a timber breakfast table, where mother and daughter can discuss the artistic merits of Australia’s Got Talent.

It is a cosy annex to enjoy breakfast and the odd light luncheon.

For added convenience, this house has two parking spaces and ducted air conditioning.

Located on Howes Crescent, it is close to Breckler Park, the WA golf club and the arterial Morley Drive.

This is a stylish family home with oodles of character and space (810sqm).

THERE’S a bit of a false dichotomy presented between art and science

these days.I suspect part of the problem

is scientists who adhere to the stereotypes of cold, clinical empiricists and artists who take a post-modern approach to such life tasks as paying bills.

But it wasn’t always the case. Artist Andrea Wood’s work calls on the days of the German scholars in the 19th century who’d delved into naturphilosophie: the idea that nature had a totality that could be uncovered by study.

These scholars would study arts alongside science, and their work would later go on to infl uence the hard sciences.

“ T h e c o n c e p t o f naturphilosophie was infl uential in the formation of what later became the disciplines of the natural sciences and which probably reached its closest realisation in the theory of evolution,” Wood says.

Her latest exhibition i can’t tell you now what I could have told you then is an archive of fragmentary ideas, inspired by another mix of art and science: Her time photographing and drawing the zoological specimens collection at UWA.

She was interested to discover that for the sc ient is ts she encountered at UWA, there wasn’t a huge disconnect between art

ARTSDAVID BELL

and science for them. One of the head professors had spent some time doing just what she’d done: sketching the odd critters held in the collection.

Another theme Wood is exploring looks at how even one person’s reaction to nature can change over time. The whole idea for the exhibition came about when she stumbled across a photograph she’d taken in England 20 years ago. A serene scene of rowboats on a lake with a swan gently paddling by, it represented for her a time of

youthful exuberance for nature.“In the course of my studies,

[my relationship with nature] has become more of a philosophical reverence,” she says. It’s from that change over time that she draws the exhibition’s title.

She’s different now, thanks to a lot of time and—maybe just a little bit—her stint amongst the specimens at UWA.

Even the Rorschach blotches in her latest work are starting to take on a scientifi c bent when she peers at them closely: “They start to look a lot like insects or animal specimens or bones”.

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm.

For more information on available training on how to minimise injury and save lives using First Aid techniques, or any other health related training, please phone Flex Training Services today on 08 9427 7518.

June 2 - June 9, 2012

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Though you are playful, your play contains a current of intensity. It could

be frustration. And it could be that this frustration is caused by communication. Though your instinctive knowing is probably right, it still needs explaining if you want others to share in it.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Cogs are sticking when they shouldn’t. Delays happening when they needn’t.

It would best not to try too hard to fi nd esoteric reasons – and it would be best to refrain from generating a head of steam. Neptune is involved. The best way to navigate Neptune is patience.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)The Sun, Venus and Mercury are sparking you up. Though it might

be diffi cult to get into drive mode, that’s not going to stop you from having a party in your heart. Defuse diffi culties by not giving them too much attention. The pipes will clear in their own time. Play.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Scorpio Moon at the beginning of the week suits you to a tee. It

gives you the sense that all your emotion and all your intensity is normal, healthy and affi rmed by existence. The more you fl ow, the more you grow. Let others analyse themselves into paralysis. Feel.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)You are in for a lovely meander across the savannah. There’s

enough peace in your heart to have you looking at all the dramas unfolding around you with a wry smile. If you can see the humour, chances are you will transmit it to others, infectiously. Stay true to yourself.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)Though you go hell-for-leather to communicate, there’s a gap between

what your mind says and what you are feeling in your belly. This confuses your audience no end. The moment you see a quizzical face, check that you are integrated and authentic. Synchronise.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)The path that was recently strewn with rocks and obstacles now feels

like a fl ight through a cool air-stream. There’s no need to ask what happened. Take it in. Enjoy this ease with all your heart. As your spirits lift, so clarity arises on matters that have been muddy.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) The Moon begins her week in your home. She fi lls you with

hope, depth, and the kind of intensity that makes you happy. Essentially, you get the feeling that it is a wonderful thing to be in your own skin. There’s play where there was a grind. Be as creative as can be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)The changes you envisioned but were not really convinced would actually

happen, are gathering on the horizon. Life is building momentum to take you forward into the satisfaction and healing your soul craves. Don’t get stuck on the details. Keep with the big picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Getting to know your local currents of emotion and feeling will serve you

better this week than will action. Give your maverick, construction-obsessed tendencies, a break. Those offering you the gift of sensitivity and intuition are saying something worth hearing.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Let go. Let go again - and when you feel like you’ve let go as much as you can, let

go once more. Existence is doing its best to invite you into the arms of trust. Trust is a state of being that makes life very pleasant to live. As you trust others, so they feel safe to give you truth.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Even though life seems to be trying to trip you up with logic and practical

challenges, the depth and intensity you crave is not so far away. Give heed to the creative longings that are tapping out their hypnotic beat in your heart. Make ‘now’ rich and the future will be richer.

A merry dance

natured cookbook author. But when Margot meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), a handsome artist that lives across the street, their mutual attraction is undeniable.
