by DAVID BELLDOGS will soon offi cially be allowed to sit at outdoor dining areas in Vincent city council.
Dogs have been banned at restaurants in Vincent since 1994, though the law is rarely observed or enforced. After reconsidering the WA Food Act 2008 the council now reckons it’s alright to let pooches loiter.
Cr John Carey has a red Aussie terrier called Chewy—he looks a bit like a mini-wookie—that’s apparently looking forward to heading along for a latte.
“I think liberalising the laws isn’t a bad idea,” Cr Carey says.
“Dogs build community and bring people together... you only have to go to our local parks to see that. For our urban activity centres we have to be a little bit more liberalised like other parts of the world.
“I understand that some people may be concerned about having dogs in these areas but you’ve got to remember that these are the outside areas of cafes, so it’s not changing the rules so that dogs can be sitting inside eating areas. . . although I’m sure some dog owners will love that.
“Clearly dog owners have to be responsible wherever they take them, they’ve got to be on the leash.”
Cr Carey says it’s a perfect rule change for Vincent, since he reckons there’s a pretty high proportion of dog ownership in the area ( 3227 registered dogs amongst 31,200 humans)
“The Beaufort Street Festival dog show got 102 dogs last year! One thing’s for sure around our area: People love their dogs, they take their dogs seriously and
by CARMELO AMALFICORPORATE marketing has wormed its way into WA classrooms with schools openly fl outing regulations set by the WA education department.
Schools’ use of sponsorship is governed by the School Education Act 1999 and School Education Regulations 2000.
They state sponsorship must not adversely affect the safety, health, welfare or best interests of students, nor require the school, school staff and students to endorse or promote any goods or services.
“When executives representing PepsiCo’s Gatorade brand approach a secondary school to talk to students about fi tness and hydration, teachers become complicit (and unpaid promoters) in a corporate marketing activity,” says Deakin University consumer behaviour and marketing lecturer Paul Harrison.
“Similarly, when Coles asks schools to collect coupons for sporting equipment, they are reinforcing positive associations with the Coles brand.
“And when kindergarten fund-raising drives are built around sales of Freddo Frogs and Caramello Koalas, they are doing a long-term branding favour for Cadbury (owned by Kraft Foods).”
He told the Voice from London that businesses sponsor schools to increase sales and generate product loyalty.
Principals who don’t understand this, and who believe the companies are simply being altruistic, are either naive or have an unsophisticated view of the role of sponsorship and advertising.
Schools are happy hunting grounds for corporations because they provide companies with

they’re going to love taking them to cafes.”
The new law was due to be passed Tuesday but the meeting
was adjourned because of the Almost Mayan Apocalypse Storm of 2012, so it’ll likely be considered at the next meeting.
the opportunity to expose their brands to captive audiences of children and adolescents.
“The major issue here is that by allowing certain brands and businesses to be promoted and advertised in the school newsletters, and through sponsorship, then the school councils are giving implicit support to those particular brands, which the children and other members of the community will absorb, and this will infl uence buying decisions.”
The department’s rules also state that:
• materials provided through sponsorship must not be used unless they are clearly identifi ed as being provided by sponsors;
• sponsorship cannot compel any student to participate in an activity unless the student chooses to do so;
• sponsorship cannot enable the distribution to students of material promoting or endorsing any particular denomination, sect or political party.

• from page 1“Those regulations are a
concern,” Dr Harrison says.“Can you imagine a fi ve-year-
old or even a 15-year-old saying to a group of peers and their teacher that they didn’t want to participate in a sponsored activity?
“It puts a lot of psychological pressure on people whom the department is meant to be taking care of.
David Axworthy, the WA education department’s deputy-director of schools, brushed off the concerns.
“Principals have the ability to decide if the sponsorship will add value to the educational program, and what benefi ts students will receive,” he said.
“Advertisements in school newsletters do not endorse
by CARMELO AMALFIBECOME a new Dollarmite. Live in Coinland. Spend $10 and collect earn and learn stickers from Woolies. Or get a health insurance quote to avoid $800 in extra tax.
Public schools are under siege by a smorgasbord of corporate marketing strategies disguised as educational and healthy “learning” initiatives.
Steven Salamon, the principal of Maylands Peninsula primary school, makes no bones about embracing the corporate world in the class.
The school uses sponsors such as Harcourts, Aussie Home Loans and Bosch Timber Floors to support academic excellence awards, writers of the month and the school’s best noodlers.
Mr Salamon says its open-door policy is about engaging the local community.
“We are promoting excellence through these programs,” he says.
“We’re providing an additional incentive for children to achieve excellence. We’re not there to promote or market those businesses.”
He says the sponsorship allows the school to “add value” to activities and events above and beyond what it receives from government.
He adds sponsorship is governed by strict WA education department policies and is scrutinised by a board of teachers and parents.
At Beaconsfi eld primary school, Bunnings, Woolworths and the Commonwealth Bank have got their feet through the doors via a variety of activities and events.
According to the school’s June 5 newsletter, Bunnings staff visited the school and, with students, installed a new garden bed: “We continue to be supported by our partners outside the school which in turn support student learning and assist us to enhance our school environment,” the newsletter states. We value Bunnings’ ongoing support.”
In its May 22 issue, it welcomed “some very special visitors from the Commonwealth Bank” to a junior assembly to hear about an “amazing new competition”.
“All you have to do is bank fi ve times in Term 2 for your chance to win,” the newsletter reports, referring to the bank’s Dollarmize Yourself promotion.
The bank describes the promotion as “truly unique”, giving one lucky school student the chance to be the face and name of a new Dollarmite character by making deposits into a Youthsaver account through the school.
“Not only that, the new character will live in Coinland for a whole year. Cool, eh?” the bank promises, in addition to other prizes such as Dollarmite fi gurines, $1500 towards a school excursion, family movie passes and Apple iPads for the school.
One of the biggest corporate programs WA primary and secondary schools are involved in is Woolworths’ earn and learn program which last year provided $4.5m of learning resources to more than 6900 schools across Australia.
People must shop at Woolworths to “earn” one sticker for every $10 spent, which they then give to their children’s school.
products or encourage students to support any brand at any time.”
He said principals should consult their school communities and “exercise common sense before entering into any commercial agreement or partnership”.
Dr Harrison noted that in March the Alliance of Girls’ Schools in Victoria, a lobby that promotes single-sex schooling for girls, invited Amy Smith, the head of weight-loss company Jenny Craig, to speak at a teachers’ conference.
The invitation sparked an angry response from health experts who said the conference was implicitly endorsing the diet industry. More than 1000 people signed an online petition calling for Ms Smith to be dumped.
“If children are consistently exposed to a particular brand (say, McDonald’s) in an environment where they are educated, they will make unconscious (and positive) links to that brand,” Dr Harrison says. “If they then see the brand on television, on outdoor advertising, even the logo as they drive past the store, this connection is reinforced.
“The school’s implicit support of the brand reduces parents’ ability to counter the infl uence.”
Dr Harrison says the objective of schools is to provide children with the skills to contribute to society, through knowledge, critical thinking and social interaction.

RED SHIELD APPEAL
by STEPHEN POLLOCKPECKISH priests at an iconic North Perth monastery may soon have their prayers answered.
Following the Voice’s June 2 story about the the Redemptorist Monastery receiving no
by STEPHEN POLLOCKA PERTH man and a woman are facing gaol for singing satirical Christmas carols outside a cosmetics shop.
Activists Alex Bainbridge and Miranda Wood were protesting with Friends of Palestine against the chain Secreat in Cannington’s Carousel shopping centre in December when pinged.
Mr Bainbridge claims Secreat uses minerals from the Dead Sea in its products, sourced from the Israeli-occupied Jordan Valley in the Palestinian West Bank.
Decked in Santa hats, the pair and a 20-strong group stood near the Seacret stand and sang carols with modifi ed lyrics, such as:
Once in royal David’s cityStood a big apartheid wall;People entering and leavingHad to pass a checkpoint hall.The State Security
Investigation Group—a crack WA police unit that deals with racially motivated, unlawful behaviour—descended on the singers and arrested Mr Bainbridge and Ms Wood for trespass. If convicted they face up to a year in gaol and a $12,000 fi ne.
Mr Bainbridge’s video camera was confi scated and later returned—minus its memory card, which had included footage of the protest. The whereabouts of the card—and the legality of its removal—are unknown.
Well-known to police as a member of at least four WA political organisations, including the Socialist Alliance, Defend Free Speech Perth and Refugee Rights Action Network, Mr Bainbridge claims he may have been singled out for arrest.
“It was a non-violent, light-hearted protest and we weren’t bothering anyone,” he told the Voice.
“The Carousel security guards weren’t going to
• Alex Bainbridge and Miranda Wood sang satirical Christmas carols and got pinged by the cops for it. Photo by Jeremy Dixon
intervene; it was only the police who were worried about the carol singing.
“I reckoned they had been tipped off and were waiting for us there.”
WA Police would not comment on why just two of the 20 protestors were arrested.
Lawyer Tim Kucera, son of former assistant police commissioner and Labor MP Bob Kucera, will represent the pair pro bono. The case will be heard at the Perth Magistrates
Court on June 28.Meanwhile, Perth city
council has dropped two charges against Mr Bainbridge relating to protesting but he is still waiting to fi nd out if the the PCC will prosecute him for a demonstration in council chambers last month.
A YouTube video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkxqt456sqw, lampooning the Carousel arrest has had more than 1000 views in the fi ve days since it was posted.
Voice turns up kitchen heatapplications for a cook after advertising in several papers—including the expensive West Australian—it’s now received at least 15.
Most applicants are in their early 40s, with an equal split of males and females.
Monastery manager Bernadette Glass just hopes she
doesn’t end up with a potty-mouthed Gordon Ramsay wannabe.
“Hopefully I won’t be phoning up the Voice in tears next week!” she laughed.
The monastery is home to seven clergy who are praying for the resurrection of their simple three-course lunch.
It’s beginning to look a lot like trespass. . .

Freedom for all, FrankI NOTED with interest PCC CEO Frank Edwards’ response to the free speech campaign (Voice, June 2, 2012) when he said, “this group should not assume that they are somehow different from the rest of the community when it comes to complying with by-laws”.
I would like to assure Mr Edwards that we are seeking no special privileges for ourselves. We want free speech for everybody!

A slow burnJUST a follow-up to my previous letter (Voice Mail, June 2, 2012).
Yesterday morning, I drove at the designated speed limit of 30kph along the section of Oxford Street and encountered road rage from the ute tailgating me; he tooted his car horn in frustration.
This leaves me with a dilemma; face a speeding fi ne or endure road rage?

Rabbit powerBEHOLD, the awesome power of rabbits—of late their even splitting City of Perth council.
Cr Lyndon Rodgers—famed for his down-to-earth opinions—was reportedly transported briefl y to Kalgoorlie’s Hay Street. This whispered, yet unconfi rmed, to be a rallying venue for tetchy rabbits.
Reading of this certainly spun me back to the UK and a savouring of childhood aromas: rabbit pie, stew and curry—pardon my drooling.
Next, I’m expecting Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffi di to press for naming the new Goderich Street bunny-art-lit complex Watership Down, after the bestselling children’s novel by the late Richard Adams.
With rabbits estimated to be outnumbering people in Oz by millions to one, it might be wise our giving them more respect.
Ron WillisFirst Ave, Mount Lawley
A Liberal bit of spendingIN response to the Labor Member for Maylands attack (Voice Speakers’ Corner, June 9, 2012) on this year’s State Budget I would like to cut through the political diatribe and simply state the facts.
People living in the Maylands electorate will benefi t from a $6.2 million project to upgrade Bayswater train station along with Ashfi eld, Guildford and Maddington stations.
Our river foreshore will also be protected with $381,232 for two new fl oating jetties, including a replacement for the dangerous old jetty at Tranby and Riverside Gardens.
As a local father with two young daughters, I am particularly pleased with the $58.5 million investment in early child health care with 100 new child health nurses for free health checks in the critical early years.
The Labor Member for Maylands should really be focussing on the carbon tax and the negative impact this will have on cost of living pressures for families and households across the electorate.
I believe the greatest threat to everyone’s cost of living is Labor’s impending carbon tax which will increase everyday prices across virtually every area.
Other things funded in the 2012-13 Liberal State Budget that will benefi t locals include:
• $22m for preliminary works for the Royal Perth Hospital redevelopment, ahead of a $158m refurbishment
• $164m to purchase 45 new train carriages, carrying an additional 8400 passengers
• Building infrastructure for cyclists—$20m to grow Perth’s principal shared path network
• $4.3m for the Career Fire and Rescue Service Bassendean/Kiara Fire Station
• Introduction of the new $200 Cost of Living Assistance payment from October 1, 2012
• $4m to upgrade 41 family

centres and 29 child care centres • 10 new Child and Parent
Centres on school sites to help families nurture young children
• 130 fl ashing LED 40kph signs to make roads around schools safer
• The largest ever funding pool for WA Police with $1.2 billion to protect our community
• 100 extra police offi cers, 30 auxiliary offi cers and 30 additional support staff
• Major upgrades to police stations like Morley and Mirrabooka, turning them into crime-fi ghting hubs and providing a base for over 80 police offi cers
All of these worthwhile spending initiatives seem to be brushed over by the local Labor Member because she knows the Labor Party has taken Maylands for granted for so long. I am proud to be part of the Barnett Liberal team and I look forward to meeting as many people as possible as I doorknock around Maylands and surrounding suburbs over the coming months.

Kids need foot in the doorIN your front page story “Priests pray for new cook.” (Voice, June 2, 2012) I was most interested to read Hospitality Group training manager Iain McDougall’s comment the WA industry is suffering its worst skills shortage in 25 years.
My son had a fi rst year baking apprenticeship until the bakery/patisserie closed in March.
Since then he has applied for numerous fi rst-year chef apprenticeships without success. He has Certifi cates 1 and 2 in Cooking and Hospitality and experience in working in a variety of kitchens.
He is well aware of the long hours and demands involved in working in these conditions but is yet to have an application acknowledged, let alone the offer of a trial.
He has left his resume at every bakery, café or restaurant willing to take it, but without any luck
So we have an industry crying out for more chefs and cooks, and a young man who desperately wants to continue working in that industry but who can’t get his foot in the door. Something doesn’t add up.
S ElliottWest LeedervilleThe Ed says: Here’s hoping your son
was one of the 15 or so applicants to respond to the story! Best of luck to him if so.

I DON’T want to see anyone “chuck a piss”. No golden streams crossing
my path, thank you. Call me old fashioned, a traditionalist, or a proper, but I reserve the right to not see someone urinating, nor for that matter exposing themselves, as I walk the streets.
On any weekend in Northbridge, Perth’s main night entertainment district, this is however an unavoidable sight. I’ve lived in other cities in this great country—Sydney, Melbourne, and even Alice Springs (yes, technically a town) and this open-air urination seems to be a bit of a West Aussie sport. Maybe it’s got something to do with it being a a mining town, or the immense amounts of booze imbibed, but it seems that on a Perth night out, the thing to do is to let it all hang out.
According to Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffi di “this is a serious issue and it says a lot about our city”. I agree. Perth is awash with single FIFO (fl y-in-fl y-out) men off the mines for a week, and desperate to spend their money on squeezing three weekends into one. Perth’s mining boom nightlife culture has become a rather unbearable struggle for its old time locals, many of whom choose to avoid certain areas altogether. Thus how the city chooses to respond to anti-social behaviour is signifi cant in shaping the culture of the town.
Ironically the City of Perth has taken a recommendation to install urilifts. Somehow by installing a set of mechanical pop-up open-air urination stalls, for all the boys that just can’t wait to let it out, they hope to deter it. I fi rmly believe that supporting the practice of open-air urination is the death knell of our civilisation. Whilst the council may think it’s stemming the fl ow, it’s in fact validating it.
There are innumerable reasons why this plan is all wrong. Any man who is brave enough to pull himself out for a wee in an inner-city street is obviously too drunk to be stumbling around. Men are menacing in extremely drunken states, and I speak from personal experience and on behalf of my friends, after being personally heckled, hounded, grabbed, and almost victim to the crossfi re of
drunken fi sts. Additional to his anti-social behavior, a drunk man with a full bladder is highly unlikely to locate the urinal, wait for the urinal, and pee IN the urinal. By encouraging the deed, we’re aiding the stinking aftermath.
What is more odious than the act of inner-city public urination? This uncivilised behaviour is disgusting, and completely lacking in dignity. There’s a real danger in aiding and supporting this practice of men pissing in the street. I am by no means a pee-freely prude. I’ve been to India, and I’ve seen every kind of toilet behaviour you can imagine (and with great relief came home).
I can even admit that within an appropriate context (ie, camping) I fi nd the male ability to urinate at will on location rather enviable. But in a city—a space shared and frequented by many of varying race, religion, and cultural values, formalising this practise is contravention of the rights of people who do not want to encounter it. By making it a urine-freely environment, we’re not only setting the social conduct bar lower, we’re denying others the right to exist in an environment free of urine.
My fi nal qualm may seem petty, but is one very dear to
my heart. In an age of perceived gender equality, this move to enable men to not only jump the (toilet) queue but skip it altogether is plain unjust. How much of Perth’s $2.8 million public toilet plan is being devoted soley to relieving the boys? More to the point, if the act of public urination is being allowed for men, what the heck are we women supposed to do if the urge to publicly urinate takes us? How’s a lady meant to hoik a leg over a stall in a pair of platform heels? Surely there are grounds for complaint to the equal opportunity commission! I hereby challenge Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffi di—if men get to piss in public, then so should the women.
In a town of FIFOs, bogans, tourists, and locals, it’s hard to cater for everyone. But in offering a facility for anti-social behaviour do we risk encouraging it? Are we simply shifting the line in the sand, only to be shifted a little further, and further still? It feels like Perth has bent to the mining culture in so many ways but on this small battle, the fi ght between the blokes and the rest of us, I think the City of Perth should stand fi rm and fi nd a way forward that doesn’t resemble pissing in the wind.

by STEPHEN POLLOCKA PERTH man who is HIV-positive says the WA AIDS Council has dropped the ball in the fi ght against the disease.
And he’s not alone, with 96 per cent of 143 people on James Rendell’s HIV support website saying the council needs a shake-up
Mr Rendell says the council isn’t doing enough with the more than $2 million a year it receives in state government funding to slow the rate of infection and to support those living with the disease.
Recovering from a motorcycle accident he is struggling to fi nd a doctor in Perth willing to perform surgery on him.
He’d like the AIDS Council to operate a drop-in centre where people with HIV AIDS can meet and share their issues. These could then be put to the council so it could lobby for more reform.
Mr Rendell, vice-chair of the group People Living with HIV AIDS WA, says the council should also be doing more to improve people’s access to GPs and life-saving medication.
He says sufferers can only see s100 doctors (the only ones allowed to prescribe HIV medication) at Royal Perth Hospital, blowing out appointment waits.
“The system is too centralised with everything lumped together at the RPH,” he says. “Over in the eastern states you
by DAVID BELLVINCENT city council is scrambling to fi nd $200,000 in legal and planning fees it spent on the concrete plants saga.
WA planning minister John Day recently granted the two Claisebrook plants fi ve-year extensions, over the strenuous objections of the council.
The council usually budgets $60,000 for planning consultants
and legal fees in a whole year: This year it’s $260,000, largely due to fi ghting the plants’ bid to stay in town. Some $49,000 that had been set aside for upgrading the Hyde Park playground will now go to line lawyers’ pockets, with another $100,000 taken off the upgrade of Little Parry Street. About $11,000 will be nabbed from the budget for a drainage retention basin in Robertson Park to help deal with fl oods during big storms. Staffers say the work will still get
done, but will have to be done on the cheap.
At Tuesday’s council meeting mayor Alannah MacTiernan says the council will keep an eagle eye on the two concrete plants to ensure they stick to every condition of their extension licences.
Cr Warren McGrath noted his concern the minister hadn’t imposed an “exit plan” for 2017, suggesting the plants might be able to reapply for another extension in fi ve years.

can get an appointment with an HIV doctor at a GP clinic on the same day.”
WA AIDS Council chief Trish Langdon says the doubling of WA’s infection rates over the past 10 years—to 4.2 persons per 100,000—is largely down to the high number of mining industry workers visiting neighbouring countries and having unprotected sex with infected prostitutes. That correlates with a warning issued by the WA health department last November about soaring rates of STIs and HIV across the Goldfi elds, Kimberley and Pilbara.
“The number of WA people acquiring HIV in WA/Australia has remained quite stable over the past 10-12 years,” she notes.
“In 2010 and 2011 we had just over 100 new diagnoses.”
She says the council participates in “a variety of
expos and festivals including Pride, school health expos, leavers’ at Rottnest and Dunsborough, university orientation days” to get the message out.
“Firstly, it is not the sole responsibility of the WA AIDS Council to maintain or reduce new HIV infections,” she said.
“The Australian HIV strategy has always used a whole-of-government approach which means that other areas of services delivery all contribute to keeping people safe from acquiring HIV or other blood-borne viruses.”
WA health minister Kim Hames says waiting times are not lengthy and he has no plans to change things: “Royal Perth Hospital has advised that patients diagnosed with HIV are contacted and seen to within one or two days of their referral being received,” he said.

by DAVID BELLWORLD-famous Sydney artist Beastman has been selected to paint the fi rst mural of the Beaufort Street enhancement plan.
Vincent city council is spending $182,000 on New York-style seating, unique street bins, and weird bus shelters with green walls and LED lighting.
Cash was set aside for street art and Beastman is fi rst cab off that rank.
In an oddly poetic bent the usually dry and bureaucratic council agenda states “‘Beastman’ is... infl uenced by the beauty and symbolism behind nature’s repetitive geometric patterns and organic lines”.
by STEPHEN POLLOCK“DEVIOUS” eastern states graffi ti rings are targeting Perth.
In February, WA Police became aware of eastern states taggers migrating to WA and defacing Perth buildings.
In response, the police started surveillance and have since seized spray cans, wire cutters and marker pens during raids on three houses in North Perth, one in Dianella and one in Beaconsfi eld.
More than 30 charges have been laid against four men aged from 22 and 27, including criminal damage, trespassing and burglary.
Graffi ti team chief Keryn Reid says computers confi scated during the raids suggested more eastern states gangs were planning to vandalise WA.
“They are not random
individual taggers, they are organised, methodical, calculated and devious,” she said.
I think this would constitute a ‘ring’.
“It is also apparent that they do in fact know many other graffi ti offenders and they converse regularly in relation to their exploits.
“The current targets are from Victoria, however evidence tells us they have been active in NSW and have travelled to Queensland.”
More than 100 spray cans and a range of weapons, drugs and stolen goods have been seized in a series of operations across WA.
Known collectively as Operation Eraser, the raids have been ongoing since February 2011 and are credited with the 43 per cent drop in graffi ti offences in 2011-12.
The graffi ti task force was
established two years ago by the Barnett government, which also doubled fi nes to $24,000, with up to two years inside for serial offenders.
Mt Lawley MP Michael Sutherland, a member of the task force, says the courts aren’t following through.
“Members of the public are still waiting for the courts to set an example by handing down a stiff sentence to a graffi ti vandal,” he told the Voice.
“Some of the sentences handed down and reported in the press of late have been pathetic and do not serve as a deterrent.
“We need to send a strong message that graffi ti vandalism is a crime, it costs millions of dollars, which is dead money which could be much better spent elsewhere.
“The whole community pays for the crimes of a few.”
Cops target graffgangs

“‘Beastman’s tightly detailed, often symmetrical paintings depict a parallel world of hope and survival inhabited by his ‘beastlike’ yet beautiful and emotive characters.”
The report concludes, “the mythical creatures hidden amongst his organic lines resonate with an incredibly broad demographic—young and old, arty, conservative, corporate and street”.
The Voice got in touch with the artist via email and he said: “I have no idea what I’m going to paint on the Beaufort Street wall yet, will most likely improvise the painting, it’s a much more organic process that way: “I like to let the location and surroundings determine the colour palette and style of the piece.”
The council will spend $3000 on it. Initially $2000 had been put aside but Cr John Carey—known as “Mr Beaufort Street” by colleagues—proposed the extra.
“The Beastman is quite well known and quite respected in the graffi ti art mural community. It’s great to have a mix of local, national and international,” he said.
“We already know Stormie Mills is on the street so we’ve got local people as well.
“I quite like this work, it is fun.”
Beastman won the job over fi ve Perth-based artists including Sean Morris’ unusual “depictions of the kitsch in contemporary life” and Andrew Nicholls’ “racy” demon drawings.

by DAVID BELLTHE West Perth regeneration plan has been abandoned for now.
The masterplan was intended to “revitalise the light and service industrial area of West Perth” by turning it into a “high density mixed use area” a Vincent council report says.
But on Tuesday night the council decided to abandon it, most likely leaving it on the shelf until the Leederville, Claisebrook and North Perth masterplans are complete.
If mayor Alannah MacTiernan’s predictions are right the West Perth plan could be mothballed permanently: She recently warned colleagues that Vincent would cease to exist within a year, likely to be re-merged with Perth or possibly Stirling.
The regeneration masterplan would have covered the area between Loftus, Newcastle and Charles Streets and the Graham Farmer Freeway, as well as north of Newcastle Street.
The council will also save between $200,000 and $250,000 by shelving a study of the project.
The council report refers to the Leederville, Claisebrook and North Perth masterplans as “priority projects,” and says staff will not be able to allocate enough resources” to West Perth.
Cr Matt Buckels was a bit cut up, saying he was most excited about the West Perth regeneration.
by STEPHEN POLLOCKST BART’S has gone all bling.
The homeless shelter in East Perth has two new dogs—Little Bart and his sister Bling—to help keep residents active and happy.
Little Bart is named in honour of the original Bart, a huge and charismatic Irish elkhound who stayed at the shelter before his death in 2009.
Bart was somewhat of a local legend and bonded with many of the residents and visitors he rubbed thighs with.
He even managed to soften the heart of ex-Kalgoorlie miner Jim Giltrap, a tough old larrikin who stayed in the shelter for more than 10 years.
The pair became inseparable and Bart would keep watch outside Jim’s room at night.
When Jim was diagnosed with cancer and eventually went into palliative care, he would get
tenants to sneak Bart out of the shelter and smuggle him into his hospital room—no mean feat given Bart’s size.
In his fi nal days, Jim missed Bart so much that he discharged himself so they could stay together in a private residence.
His health deteriorated rapidly so St Bartholomew’s CEO Lynne Evans took Bart to be by Jim’s bedside, keeping
vigil in the two days before Jim’s death.
Ms Evans says Little Bart has since taken on Bart’s mantle and has helped transform the life of resident Clayton Ridell.
“When Clayton arrived as St Bart’s he was really unhappy and pretty angry with life,” she said.
“Now he looks after Little Bart—taking him for walks and feeding him—it has given him a purpose in life, he’s really contented.”
Little Bart and Bling were bought by St Bart’s using a LotteryWest grant.
At the cheque presentation, former resident Peter Melling took along a painting of the original Bart, a tribute to the shaggy elkhound.
St Bart’s was established in 1963 at the Rectory of St Bartholomew’s Church in Kensington Street.

by STEPHEN POLLOCKTHE WA Liquor Commission has rejected Coles’ application for a First Choice liquor superstore on Guildford Road in Maylands.
Plans for the 1250sqm booze barn were met with strong opposition from the local community, with more than 1400 signatures in two petitions opposing the development.
Bayswater city council had voted against the $7 million project in December 2011 but the Barnett government’s unelected development assessment
by STEPHEN POLLOCKSINISTER drones circled over Perth last Friday, snapping pictures of pupils at Mt Lawley Senior High School.
It wasn’t a new truant monitoring scheme introduced by the Barnett government, but a science exhibition held at the school by Cyber Technology.
The Bibra Lake-based company, formed in 2006, is the market leader in developing and producing unstaffed aerial vehicles.
Its cutting-edge fl eet includes the cyberEye II (a medium-altitude long endurance vehicle used for tracking) and the $35,000 cyberQuad (a hovering vehicle used for special forces surveillance in condensed urban areas).
Its cyberWraith drone—a high-speed jet-powered drone capable of carrying a payload of up to 6kg—is specifi cally designed as a target for weapons testing and operations training.
Cyber Technology founder Chris Mounkley, who served as a British soldier for 15 years, says he does not sell drones that deploy weapons: “I have seen the carnage fi rst-hand that drones can do, so I made the decision on starting the company not to sell those,” he said.
“The majority of our drones are used for geo-survey and geo-mapping in the civilian sector, and for use by Australian government agencies.
“The weapons-testing drones are used as target practice by the military to test their surface to air missile defences.”
The science showcase, organised by parent and TV producer Russell Goodrick, was attended by WA chief scientist Lyn Beazley.
Prof Beazley gave a talk to students, encouraging them to study science at school and university, and reverse the downturn in the number of science graduates.
In 1991, 94 per cent of year 11 and 12

students were enrolled in science subjects, in 2010 this had dropped to 51 per cent (federal education department).
Mt Lawley Liberal MP Michael Sutherland, who attended the talk, said the school had a reputation for science excellence: “This event was a
fantastic opportunity to highlight and appreciate Mt Lawley High School and their students’ achievements in science,” he said. “Science education is essential for Australia’s future in an increasing technological world and should be encouraged at all times and at all levels.”
School droning that excites
panel approved it in February, over the protestations of locals.
In its ruling last week, the WA liquor commission stated the proposed location— in the vicinity of 55 Central (a crisis centre) and the Elizabeth Hanson Autumn Centre—”was a critical consideration in forming its view of the likelihood of harm and ill health resulting from the grant of the application”.
Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker says rejection is a victory for the local community: “I look forward to a more suitable iconic development on that site,” she said.

by DAVID BELLPERTH city council is doubling its in-house public relations team to four, at an extra cost of around $175,000 a year.
For years media manager Peter Jackson has done the heavy lifting with the help of an offsider, but the top brass reckons the job needs another two people.
The positions for three PR operatives (two new and one replacement) were seen on seek.com.au during the week.
“Effective communication with internal and external stakeholders is essential to the effective operation of any large organisation and the City of Perth strives to provide the best service possible within budgetary constraints,” PCC CEO Frank Edwards said in a written statement funnelled to us by Mr Jackson.
That’s pretty standard for communication with the PCC—ask a simple question and something saccharin and long-winded comes back by email.
Though, to be fair, lord mayor Lisa Scaffi di more often than not opts to communicate directly and is known for replying to emails within 24 hours.
Mr Edwards went on to say: “The city has operated with only two media and public relations staff for more than a decade and during that time the city’s population has doubled and the number of media platforms has become far more diverse.”
by DAVID BELLMOTORISTS parking in Vincent city council will pay 10 cents more an hour from July 1.
Council staff had wanted to increase the meter charge from $2.10 to $2.40 an hour in places like Brisbane Street and Oxford Street car parks (the fi rst hour remaining free).
But elected members rebelled and mayor Alannah MacTiernan pushed an amendment through to limit the increase to 10 cents an hour: “We were very concerned about the raise,” she said at Tuesday’s meeting.
“Most of that kerbside parking only went in a year ago... I understand the councillors were concerned about how acceptable it would be to have a 20 per cent increase within nine months.”
“Considering the infl ation rate is four, 4.5 per cent, it is
by STEPHEN POLLOCKMYSTERIOUS creosote waste has delayed the construction of The Foyer in Oxford Street by eight months.
The homeless youth shelter in Leederville is now expected to be completed by July next year.
Workers discovered the waste material in August last year during excavation for an underground car park.
They had to lay down tools until the waste was removed in accordance with WA environment department rules.
The site has previously been
used as a police station, post offi ce and more recently as a TAFE.
How and when the creosote was buried remains a mystery but WA housing department boss Stewart Kestel says it’s now been given the all-clear.
Mt Lawley Society patron Barrie Baker believes it could have come from metal and carpentry work: “In 1942, the Department of Defence built a production building there to manufacture equipment for the wartime effort,” he said.
“It would have had carpentry and metalwork areas, so that
would be my best guess on the origins.
“Prior to that the land was vacant and anything could have been dumped on it.”
The Foyer Oxford at the corner of Oxford and Richmond Streets will accommodate up to 98 people between the ages of 16 and 25.
It will include 24-hour on-site support and small apartments for those with children.
Homeswest will fund construction and a 50-year lease has been agreed with the WA training and workforce development department.
Waste delays shelter
stretching the friendship a little bit but it puts a cap on it,” Ms MacTiernan says.
Cr John Carey says a 20 per cent rise “would be declaring war on our urban villages”.
There wasn’t unanimous agreement over what to do with parking fees.
Cr Josh Topelberg says parking is always full in Leederville, suggesting rates could go up there, but “many days of the week on Beaufort Street you could put a bowling ball down the parking lanes—though the Public Transport Authority would rather put bus lanes”.
Cr Carey told colleagues: “You can talk all you want about science. To increase [fees] by 20 per cent would be slogging our urban villages around the head... it would be handling our carparking strategy poorly.”
The council expects to rake in $5m in parking fees this year, along with $2.9m in fi nes.

Perth.Cindy’s from London where
things are open ‘round the clock. You can even buy a pair of sneakers from a chemist at 5am Easter Sunday.
Here in mining boom Perth, wandering through Northbridge on a Monday afternoon, all we saw was a procession of ‘closed’ signs.
But a last-ditch gamble actually saw a pretty good spread put in front of us.
SurprisedIt was a long shot when
we wandered into the Old Shanghai food hall on James Street. Traditionally food halls have a reputation for cuisine slightly above service station and slightly below school cafeteria.
But an unassuming dim sum place way up the back surprised us.
Go way back many generations and you discover Cindy’s family is Cantonese, and they’ve spent many a weekend making home-made yum cha, so I was a bit nervous introducing her to Perth’s offering.
Thankfully, Hong Kong Dim Sum got a thumbs up.
Its beef fl our roll sees tender chunks of meat wrapped up in a slippery, slimy steamed casings, and they do it a little differently here by splicing them with chunks of bitey chives. It’s a refreshing addition that cuts through the oily meat. Top marks, except they fall apart and are almost impossible to eat with chopsticks (surely the world’s most impractical eating utensil).
We also went for a round of those classic dim sum mainstays: the barbecue pork buns. These things are delicious. They should be the new meat pie. If someone sold pork buns at a footy match they’d be an overnight

Hong Kong highlight
millionaire. Steamed white dough as soft as a cloud comes apart to reveal barbecued char siu pork strips (which, by the way, is listed amongst CNN’s 50 most delicious foods in the world). It’s a handful of pure joy. Even ign’ant westerners usually squeamish about the totally bizarre stuff you can fi nd at dim sum usually love the pork buns.
We also picked up a round of dumplings, picking the winter bamboo prawn dumplings and the mushroom and prawn dumplings. It’s done slightly different here compared to most places around town, in that instead of a slimy exterior, the
fl our casings are served dry and chewy. Once you pry them open they give way to juicy chunks of prawn—and yes, it’s real prawn, from real living things, none of that mystery crab stick sponge.
For about $30 between us we walked (or waddled) out completely stuffed. There are so few places in Perth where you can get stuffed to the brim with good cooked food for $15 a head.
Overall we were pretty surprised to fi nd pretty good grub in a food hall. It’s not quite into hidden gem territory, but if you’re wandering around hungry on a Monday I defi nitely recommend venturing into this unassuming food hall on James Street.

WARNING: This is a biased review.
I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan. I’ve watched every episode of Buffy, genuinely enjoyed Angel and have fallen in love with Captain Reynolds from Firefl y. At this stage Joss Whedon could film himself standing in line at the post offi ce and I’d still watch.
That said, the blurb of his new fi lm The Cabin in the Woods, co-written with Buffy mainstay Drew Goddard, sounds suspiciously tired: Five friends go into the woods and blah blah blah yawn. Just another slasher movie, right?
Not quite. In Cabin, Whedon and Goddard completely destroy the genre. They make you question every slasher movie you’ve ever seen.
Giving away too much would be doing you a disservice, because most of the fun lies in watching the layers strip away (and just as soon as you think you know what’s going on, you quickly discover the conspiracy is even more twisted). Besides, Whedon himself has warned that if anyone gives away the secret, “I will personally come to your house and make fun of you in front of people you respect”.
But it’s not giving away too much to tell you that within the fi rst fi ve minutes we learn that fi ve stereotypical teens venturing into the woods for a weekend holiday are being watched by a mysterious and casually evil corporation.
Beyond that, the conspiracy that envelopes them is just unbelievable, and entirely unguessable. Do not go spoil this for yourself on Wikipedia. Just shell out a few bucks and enjoy being tricked. If you’ve ever enjoyed
movies like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you’ll love it (actually, if you hate those kinds of fi lms, you’ll probably love this all the more).
Along with the killer twists and amazing creature effects, there’s all the usual signs of high quality you’d expect from the Whedon/Goddard duo, including witty dialogue that had the cinema in uproar, and truly human characters that you actually come to care about by the time the knives start fl ashing. Thematically there are echoes of the evil corporation Wolfram & Hart from Angel, only dialed up to 11 now that Whedon actually has a decent budget to play with.
The fi lm’s release had a troubled history. It was all set to go in 2010, but then MGM fell on its arse and it got delayed. Two years later it fi nally made its American debut to wide acclaim, but its new handler Roadshow Films baf fl ingly decided not to show it in Australian cinemas,
despite Whedon just having proved himself once again by writing and directing The Avengers (now the third-highest grossing fi lm of all time).
Roadshow hadn’t counted on Whedon’s huge internet following. The various cliches he played with in Buffy The Vampire Slayer led fans to create the massively popular site TVTropes just to document them all (it’s since expanded to all kinds of movie and media tropes). Whedon’s hit internet series Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along only cemented his online reputation.
And as governments, corporations and Bette Midler have learned in recent years: You do not want to mess with the internet.
Following an immense campaign that shamed the company into action, and threatening mass boycotts, the fandom won a (limited) release, and The Cabin in the Woods now opens at Luna Leederville from June 14.
THE School for Wives is the story of a man who
desperately wants to get married but is afraid a smart woman will cheat him. His solution? Enlist the help of a local convent to raise a girl so stupidly innocent she won’t know the fi rst thing about cheating. She will be ever-faithful. The perfect wife. Or is she? Written by Moliére 350 years ago it continues to raise eyebrows in comic disbelief and touches on on-line chat room where the person you’re talking to may not be who, or what, you think. A Bell Shakespeare and Perth Theatre Trust production this surprisingly modern tale is on at the Heath Ledger Theatre, July 11 to 14. tix at Bocs.
THE language is blue and the skin shades of brown in emerging writer Michelle White and Deadly Award writer/performer Karla
Hart’s Black as Michael Jackson. The series of monologues is a raw, emotional and at times irreverent look at race, identity and what it’s like to want to be proud of identifying as Aboriginal. “I’m not racist but…” is oft heard the pair say. “If us blackfellas had a dollar for every time we heard that…we’d be rich.” It’s at The Blue Room from June 20 to July 7. Tix $25 (conc $20) at 9227 7005.
THE who’s who of international Buddhism was in town earlier this year for the International Conference on Buddhism and
Australia. Hot on the heels of that success comes a photography exhibition at the Perth Town Hall with an overview of 32 years of Buddhism in former Russian Estonia. It’s open 10am to 4pm, but you’ll need to get in quick it fi nishes on Sunday (June 16).
THE music of Spain has an undeniably evocative essence whether its the fi re of fl amenco or the passion of folk and art
song. Guitarist Duncan Gardiner together with Emily Clements (fl ute) and Irina Vasileve-Thoo (piano) present a veritable feast of Spanish music in true tapas style at The Bodhi Tree Bookshop/Cafe Sunday June 17, 4.30.
FRESH from the sell-out success of his last critically acclaimed hit The Fabulous Frances Faye in Australia, cabaret wild child
Nick Christo drags his new offering Well Swung (“My career is failing so I have to do a swing show”) kicking and screaming into town next month. “With rare cuts of juicy jazz standards, stuffed fat with stick of bubblegum pop, all sliced to perfection with outrageous razor sharp quippery,” the promo screams. It’s part of the Cabaret Soiree 2012 downstairs at the Maj. Tix from bocs or 9484 1133.

voice estateA LUXURY fl at with stairs? Sounds
like a paradox that only exists in the mind of a Saudi sheik.
But on Murray Street the vision has been realised and cemented in a swanky apartment block. This luxury three-bedroom fl at spans two levels and offers exciting views of the city.
It is perfect for a young couple, swish single or the wily investor.
With 132sqm of living space to play with, the days of feeling like an urban sardine are over.
The kitchen is minimalist: A series of white, black and stainless steel rectangles.
It’s practical too and comes with all the latest appliances and oodles of cupboard space.
The stylish feel is continued in the lounge, where white walls complement inset ceiling lights and funky furniture.
From this vintage point you can walk out onto the north-facing balcony and preside over the city, like an antipodean Gordon Gekko.
A brief jaunt upstairs leads to the main bedroom, complete with walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony. It is understated and a perfect place to capture some zzzs after a hard day at the stock exchange, tussling with the Dow Jones and the Footsy.
The other two bedrooms are airy and have a relaxing colour scheme which is easy on the eye. Both bathrooms are sparkling with cabinet showers and stylish vanities.
For added convenience, the fl at comes with two carport spaces. Handy, considering Perth city council is rubbing its hands with Dickensian glee at the prospect of raising parking fees fi ve per cent from July 1.
The Zenith apartment block includes a subterranean gym and swimming pool, handy if you are pushed for time but fancy a quick workout to elevate your heart rate.
An astute investor will appreciate that this fl at has the potential to be rented out for around $1300 a week and is close to the Elizabeth Quay redevelopment.
It is the perfect lock-up-and-leave, especially with the inclusion of strata management.
This apartment is literally in the heart of the city: A punt from Barrack Street and close to all the shops, restaurants and pub you could ever want to visit.

Be advised
There are many myths around viral hepatitis and it is time to set some of these straight. Hepatitis B and C can be serious conditions, but they are both treatable, manageable and, most importantly, preventable.
Hepatitis B is transmitted only by blood and sexual fl uids. It is vaccine preventable, and for most adults will be only a short term infection from which they will recover naturally. Hepatitis C is transmitted only via blood to blood contact (such as sharing injecting equipment, or through unsterile backyard tattoos and piercings).
Although some adults will recover naturally, most will develop a lifelong infection which, if untreated, can cause signifi cant liver damage. There is no preventative vaccine for Hep C. You can get a Hep B or C test at your local GP.

The Men’s Advisory Network (MAN) has a Bloke’s Book hot-off-the-press. It’s a directory of all the support services for boys and men in WA (go to: http://www.man.org.au).
If you would like some assistance, from fi nancial guidance, mental health support, mentoring, and services for groups with special needs, then the Bloke’s Book is for you.
MAN also just held the Men in Black Ball at the Hyatt Regency in Perth. At this annual gala event, more than 400 people celebrated the accomplishments of the last year for boys and men in WA.
This year, former ABC sports reporter Glenn Mitchell spoke honestly and openly about his struggles with mental health. The night was a huge success, raising thousands of dollars for MAN to continue our work as WA’s peak body for Men’s Health and Wellbeing.
If you’re up for a free on-the-spot health check then stop-by. We will also be joining a wide array of agencies promoting Men’s Health and Wellbeing at a community seminar to be held at the WACA on Wednesday 13th June, 2012, from 5.45 – 9.15pm.

The M Clinic – a sexual health clinic for men who have sex with men seeking testing for sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV– opened its doors in July 2010. This unique peer based service has experienced such rapid growth that it has recently moved to meet the clients’ needs.
“The growth of the clinic has been beyond what any of us could’ve expected, and we didn’t foresee the need to move would come so soon,” M Clinic Coordinator, Michael Atkinson said.
When asked about the move, a regular M Clinic client said, “A move will be good for the clinic and the clients, especially to a location closer to the community. Hopefully moving into a bigger building will mean the waiting room won’t be as crowded on busy days and that the M Clinic will become more accessible once again” he said.
The new clinic has 2-hour street parking and easy access from public transport and Northbridge is an enjoyable stroll away.
For more information, to check yourappointment time or to book your sexual healthscreen phone the M Clinic on 9227 0734 or go towww.mclinic.org.au.
As part of Men’s Health Week (June 11-17), Australian Hearing Perth is putting the spotlight on men’s hearing health by raising awareness of the effects of loud noise on your hearing.
According to Kirsten Richardson Manager at Australian Hearing Perth, around 60 per cent of people over 60 suffer from a hearing loss. Research has also shown hearing loss is more prevalent among men, due to noise exposure in the workplace and during war service.
In support of Men’s Health Week, Australian Hearing is also offering free hearing checks at its Perth Centre, Maylands visiting site and Victoria Park centre for local pensioners.
“Hearing loss caused by noise damage is mostly acquired gradually as the result of exposure to loud noises over an extended period,” Kirsten said.
Australian Hearing provides subsidised hearing care for eligible people, including pensioners and most veterans.

June 16 - June 23, 2012
ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)It will be what you do, not what you say that will communicate loudest.
Bring your actions into line with the feelings in your heart. Be careful of getting distracted by lines of logic that shift you away from all that is real and meaningful. If you do this, you’ll be dancing.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)The Moon charges you up and fi lls you to bursting, with feelings of friendliness
and community. It’s your tribe who see you through when the chips are all over the place. Jupiter has now offi cially gone, taking away some of the pressure to perform. Take it easy.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)With Jupiter in Gemini, the pressure is on to break old patterns that
have been keeping you small and begin exploring what it means to expand and grow. Jupiter makes us look at those strategies we have that we think are making us big but are actually keeping us small.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22)Mercury is in Cancer, ensuring that you hold a lot of weight when it comes
to matters of communication. You are providing the checks and balances. If what is being said doesn’t match what is being felt, you will be the one letting the world know. Do it lightly.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)The Gemini Sun suits you well. It makes you feel playful and light. Be
sure not to be dazzled by your own light. There is a twist to the Gemini tale. That twist usually involves not spotting the problematic issues that are hiding in the shadows. Be playful but stay real.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)The drive is on to spell out all that you see and all that you feel. This is likely to work
best when you are speaking from your feelings. If you commit yourself to ideas that haven’t passed through the sieve of your heart, you’ll end up on shaky ground. Authenticity resonates.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)Here is a chance for movement where there has been none. The lightness of
the Gemini Sun lifts some of the weight from your heart. The moment you feel lighter, then things that didn’t seem possible suddenly seem possible. Be lifted by the grace of circumstance.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) The pressure is on to change. None of that pressure is going to
have any effect if it’s not applied sensitively. If your emotions aren’t catered for, you will feel and be intransigent. The moment there’s some tenderness, you will express your loyalty and devotion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)The message is and has been for some time, to integrate your feelings. It’s not
possible to get forward traction whilst discounting what your subtle sense is trying to say to you. The message is certainly to lighten up, but it’s not going to happen without your soul on side.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The Moon begins the week in Taurus, which sets a lovely, comfortable,
earthy tone. As well as being so sensuous, she is working hard to bring good friends together. Friends and simple pleasures are your greatest resource. Be sure to value them as your foundations.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)The moment you take it all too seriously, it all comes tumbling down. The instant you
take it lightly, the journey to an appropriate future accelerates exponentially. Love provides light where you perhaps imagined it was getting a little dim. Avoid ‘shoulds’ like the plague.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)The Gemini Sun has you feeling like life is operating in a slightly superfi cial
key. It’s all in the interpretation. Existential angst can be seen as superfi cial too. Gemini is all about embracing the full paradox of life, with a sense of fascination and wonder. Get on board.

Take two Germans, add two Italians, a ripe Russian and a dash of Czech, mix well and
simmer until perfect.Fremantle Chamber Orchestra’s winter

ACTON has experienced yet another strong month for sales, prompting Managing Director Graeme Baxter to suggest the market is recovering. “One or two good months may be considered a lucky fl uke, but we’ve had six consecutive months with strong sales and I genuinely believe we are seeing a recovery,” he said.
ACTON’s May sales were slightly lower than sales for April, but 14.04 percent higher than sales in May 2011.
“Sales have risen and fallen marginally each month, but all have been signifi cantly higher than the 12 months previous,” said Mr Baxter. “If people have been waiting for the market to turn before buying, then I’d say the time to buy is now. Such consistently strong sales will
soon translate into price growth. Investors in particular should look to buy. The low vacancy rate, coupled with share market volatility, low interest rates and growing rents make investing very attractive.”
Despite this good news, Mr Baxter feels the market still remains pessimistic.
“There is still a lot of doom and gloom out there, people are very concerned about the European situation. I think they should focus more on what’s happening in Australia, and Western Australia in particular. I know that people don’t like to listen to agents, they tend to think we’re trying to talk the market up for our own benefi t, so I ask that they consider the opinions of other experts.”
Credible sources like RBA Governor Glenn
Stevens and the Western Australian Government also have a positive outlook. When it comes to the economy Mr Stevens recently said Australia’s glass is well and truly half-full, with plenty of reasons for optimism. Recent economic data showed growth of 4 percent over the past year, unemployment sitting around 5 percent and underlying infl ation just above 2 percent. Plus the Australian fi nancial system is sound and interest rates are relatively low.
The Western Australian economy is even better placed, with the lowest unemployment rate in the country at 4.1 percent, demand for labour strong, and population and wages growth expected. The State Treasury is also forecasting house price growth over the next few years.
