EXPLORING ART

Thursday 21 March 2013 - - Sun City News www.suncitynews.com.au [email protected]

Debate about reporting ‘goodnews’ and ‘bad news’ has manyopinions. Occasionally I’mfronted with the comment:“There's nothing but bad newsin the paper. Why don't youwrite about some of the goodthings happening in this town?"

Of course, you scratch yournoggin' when you take anotherlook at the latest edition stuffedfull of positive news - weddings,engagements, sports coverage,people features, club meetingreports, church news, etcetera,etcetera, etcetera - Seemingly,none of it noticed by thecomplainer.

Bad news is good news fornewspapers for a number ofreasons:

n Like it or not, we humans areprogrammed to pay moreattention to an emergency or amajor problem brewing thanstories about two straight weeksof hot weather or the mayorgloating over a balanced budget.

n There is good reason we areprogrammed this way - The badnews must be dealt with, andour instincts and emotionscorrectly tell us so.

We may not always like it, butbad news harpoons our interestand demands action.

n Bad news is important newsand a newspaper that fails toreport it is akin to a bad parentignoring a teen's drug problem.If confronted, the kid won't likeit just as many readers won'tlike a story about teen drugabuse in our paper. But it needsto be exposed and dealt with.

n Bad news builds readershipbecause it attracts attention anddeep down readers want it,although they may not like it.

Yes, there are local newspapersthat cop the most flak in theirrole as the messenger, some inthe community would love tokill. But, invariably they are the

best-read, most relevant news-papers, and deservedly so.

At the Sun City News, we havealways tried to provided thecommunity with the bestcoverage of local news, good orbad - We have always offeredthe community the opportunityto publish their good news, butat the same time, we are notafraid to publish the ‘bad news’.

More importantly is that all thenews is factual, accurate and ofinterest to the wider community,rather than generic broad-based ‘of-no-interest’ news.

What’s your choice?

ExplanationIn the last issue of the Sun CityNews, it was reported that theShire of Gingin agreed to write off$115,195.17 owed by the GinginMeatworks, and transfer thesame amount from the MeatInspection Account to theMunicipal Fund Account.

Shire of Gingin CEO, JeremyEdwards explained: “The MeatInspection Restricted CashAccount is funded from surplusmeat inspection fees collectedfrom the Gingin Abattoir. At theend of each year any excess ordeficit resulting from provision ofmeat inspection services istransferred to/from the MeatInspection Restricted CashAccount. All costs associatedwith the meat inspection serviceare fully funded by the abattoir.”

Letters to the editorSecurity patrolsCast your mind back a few years,and the areas of Yanchep andTwo Rocks received securitypatrols of which was supposed toprevent crime in the area.

Do we still pay for this in ourcouncil rates? If so, couldsomeone explain to me wherethis service has gone, as I haven'tseen them for a number of years?

Not only can it help with truancy butalso the increased amount ofbreak-ins, assaults, car theft, arsonand suspicious behaviour thatappears to be happening of late.

Just a thought.

Kristel Arundel, Two Rocks.

Charnwood ParkCharnwood Park is one of themost beautiful and wellmaintained parks in the area of

which the City of Wanneroo canbe proud of.

It is used frequently by young andsenior citizens of Two Rocks forleasure with the family, strollingaround with the dog or justenjoying a quiet time in the shadeunder the trees watching thegalahs and rare birds.

It is also an ideal ground forvarious community activitiesincluding the annual concert ofthe City of Wanneroo.

Until today, nobody would eventhink of that such a jewel could bechanged in a football and cricketarena. Was it not said that thispark is completely unsuitable fora sports ground? And isn't it still?

The present proposal requires alot of tree to be removed, levelingthe ground etc., but at what cost?The result would be a sports

ground squeezed into its existingboundary limits and still too smallfor the real needs of the varioussport clubs taking intoconsideration the fast growingpopulation, particularly inYanchep.

Why give up such a jewel for thesake of an unsuitable sportsarena?

Better to use the money andinvest it in a more suitable area,preferably in Yanchep.

Rainer Breitfeld, Two Rocks.

Who moved the signs?I notice the speed limit signs onYanchep Beach Road have beenmoved about 500 metres easttowards St Andrews Drive and thespeed camera is a regularattraction within the old 80km/hzone - There was no warning andno public notices in any West

Australian newspaper. City ofWanneroo plead ignorant, sayingMains Road WA are responsible.

How many people have receivedspeeding tickets since this sneakyantic?

Name and address supplied.

ThanksI would like to thank Russell Perryfor clarifying the situation on theLindsay Homestead in the lastedition of the Sun City News.

However it delivered nothing tothe local community it appears alot of groups are involved. five atlast count, but no decision hasbeen made, who actually decideson what is a mystery?

There is a lot of procrastinationaround this project, surely itcannot be that hard, as anyimprovements would be welcome

especially the walkway down tothe homestead which in myopinion is an accident waiting tohappen with slips/falls.

The nearby boardwalks arefantastic down to the beach, butplease finish off what you started.I remember seeing an artistimpression of the area publishedin the Sun City News, back inDecember 2007.

Tony Rutherford, Yanchep.

Chook farmIs planning certainty out the door in Gingin?

Recent approval resulting from a 5/5 vote in councilto install large scale poultry farming in Wanerieamong the sub-divisions leaves a question onfuture planning certainty within the whole shire.

Many neighbours’ homes will be directly within theodour plume of the approved poultry enterprise.Those that have not yet built will be compromisedto do so, on their own land. Other offsite impactpotentials have been poorly assessed.

This is not a compatible land use, we all rely oncouncil to support and maintain proper review ofcompatible land use to have confidence in planningcertainty.

The subject will not only result in numerouspotential for off and on site impact but is within aknown tuart tree woodland and wildlife remnant ona high exposure road/alternate north route near theMoore River.

This has now the attention of the EPA, submissionto EPA will be available soon on the web site,www.epa.wa.gov.au the district of Wanerie inGingin would seek all concerned within the shire tosupport opposition to poultry venture interfacingincompatible areas in support of more sensibleplanning to prevail.

Crime report from District Superintendent, Charlie Carver Help make our community safer

How often have you witnessed some sort of criminalactivity, hooning, graffiting or even worse, had yourhome or car broken into, and done nothing about it?

Sadly, too many people are turning away and notbeing a responsible community citizen. Often peoplewill use the excuse - I don’t want to get involved’ or ‘Ifear comeback’.

Honestly, this is a very poor excuse, lazy excuse andindirectly supporting criminal activity in your area. Themore criminal activity that goes unreported will onlyencourage these criminals and they come back again,and again.

If everybody in your street was alert, supported eachother and worked with the police, then the overallcrime rate of the district would decrease dramatically.

Don’t use the excuse that there’s no-one at theYanchep police station - To report any criminalsuspicions, call 131 444 as soon as you notice it.

Callers to 131 444 will be asked to press '1' on theirphones if they require immediate police attendance. Ifyou need to report an incident which does not requireimmediate police attendance, you will be asked topress '2’, and if you require general information youwill be asked to press '3'.

Calls to 000 are for emergency or life-threateningsituations, when urgent police assistance is neededsuch as a serious crime in progress, being witnessedor just committed; any situation where life or seriousinjury is threatened; a car accident where people aretrapped or seriously injured; a serious air, rail or waterincident; any incident which poses an immediatethreat of danger to people or property; or an explosionor bomb incident or threat.

The more often the community reports incidents,issues and concerns to the police, the sooner thepolice can respond and help stop crime in your area.

Without everybody helping, the police are unable tohelp you. People that don’t want to report a criminalincident, usually have something to hide - Be involvedand help make our community safer.

Shopping in Two RocksRefinancing: one route toeffective debt managementWarrick Dunn from Tag Financeat Two Rocks Shopping Centresaid: “If you find yourselfsurrounded by mounting debt, itmay be time to considerconsolidating your debts intoone financial location.”

Refinancing can be a quick andsimple way to gain greatercontrol of your various debts,but there are few tricks toensure you get the best deal.

First, consider the rate ofinterest you are paying for eachof your loans. Credit cards andpersonal loans tend to carry ahigh interest rate and aretherefore not the mostfinancially viable loans.

So, what is the most cost-effective way to consolidateyour debts through refinancing?

If you have sufficient equity inyour property, it may be possibleto consolidate your higherinterest debts into your homeloan, which would have a lowerinterest rate.

Rather than paying an interestrate as high as 14 per cent for apersonal loan, your averagehome loan will carry an interestrate of less than 6 per cent for a$300,000 variable rate loan.

By consolidating your debt andrefinancing your home loan youmay be able to save thousands

of dollars that otherwise wouldbe spent on excessive interestrates. You would also ridyourself of some of the stress ofmanaging multiple monthlyrepayments.

If you are consideringrefinancing, then now may verywell be the right time to contactWarrick from Tag Finance.

Record low interest rates andstrong competition among themajor lenders can only meanone thing: savings are there forthe taking by savvy Aussieborrowers.

As features and rates vary fromproduct to product and fromlender to lender, let Warrick findyou the loan that reflects your

personal circumstances and isright for you.

To make an appointment todiscuss your finance, callWarrick on 0402 078 847 for anobligation free chat. After hoursappointments can be arranged.

Mug punters: the people and theirrelationship with politics and the mediaWe live in an era of expandedmedia and accelerated newscycles, in which citizens haveaccess to more information,and more opportunities toparticipate in the publicsphere, than ever before inhuman history. Yet pessimismreigns about the negativeimpact of political media onthe democratic process.

Citizens are said to bedisillusioned about politics andpoliticians, turned off by adysfunctional media. Theperiod running up to the 2010federal election, and since, hasseen regular debate andcommentary not just on policymatters such as the carbon taxand immigration, but on thepresentation of these by theparties and their spin machines.

Although Australia has acompulsory voting systemwhich, to a degree, maskspublic dissatisfaction anddisengagement, there is awidespread perception thatcitizens are fed up with thepolitical process, in large partbecause of the way in whichit is represented in the media.

Former ALP cabinet ministerLindsay Tanner’s 2011 book,Sideshow, argues thatAustralian media coverage ofpolitics undermines effectivedemocratic governance byfocusing on the trivial andephemeral – we recall thebrief, if intense media frenzywhich followed Tony Abbott’ssaying ‘shit happens’ toAustralian soldiers inAfghanistan in February2011. Should he have said‘shit’? Does it matter? Do wecare? It became the leadnews story across the mediathat day and into the next.

Former Liberal leaderMalcolm Fraser, quoted onthe cover of Tanner’s book,asserts that ‘the relationshipbetween politicians and themedia degrades public lifeand diminishes our future’.Media commentators andscholars – in Australia andinternationally – have beencritical of trends in the media-politics interaction since atleast the 1990s, when JayBlumler identified ‘a crisis ofpublic communication’ in theliberal democracies.

Critics have referred to aprocess of ‘dumbing down’ ofpolitical journalism, of a riseof “infotainment” and thecrowding out of hard or‘serious’ news andcommentary in the publicsphere by fluff and trivia, suchas the style of Julia’s glasses,or Abbott’s swimwear.

There has been one thinglargely missing from thisdebate, however – the viewsof the public itself; the greatmass of ordinary citizens whovote in elections, and who arein the end what it’s allsupposed to be about(politics, that is).

What do they think of the waypolitics is covered,represented, spoken andwritten about, in the myriadmedia forms and platformswhich take that job on?Beyond the occasionalopinion poll indicating thatlevels of trust in politicians arelower than journalists, orhigher than bankers, orroughly equivalent to what wefeel for used car dealers, wedon’t really know.

At QUT we’ve embarked onan ARC-funded researchproject which we hope willshed light on these questions.We’re calling the project:Politics, Media andDemocracy in Australia:public and producerperceptions of the politicalpublic sphere.

It will assist the makers ofpolitical media, we hope, todo a better job of engagingcitizens in the democraticprocess.

We’ll be constructing a ‘map’of all the media outlets and

formats in which politics isreported, analysed anddiscussed in Australia,exploring their interactions,and how they each contributeto the broader goal of aninformed, active citizenry.

We’ll be asking political mediapractitioners – the pundits,the producers, the editors, thewriters – what they believetheir role to be in Australianpublic life, and how that roleis reflected in their work.Then, we’ll ask ordinaryAustralians in cities andtowns across the country totell us their perceptions ofhow effective the twenty firstcentury public sphere is inproviding them with theinformation they need tomake rational choices inelections.

We’ll be exploring the role ofpublic participation mediaformats such as Q&A, andtalkback radio, where thepublic are physically presentin the political debate andable to make a contribution.One response of mediaorganisations to theperception that they – and thepoliticians – are too remotefrom the ordinary people hasbeen to introduce moreinteractive, participatorystyles of coverage; to engagetheir audiences moreproactively. Q&A is the bestexample of this trend, andwe’ll ask – does it work? DoAustralian viewers feel thatthis kind of live participation,augmented now by socialmedia (see the stream oftweets which crosses thescreen throughout abroadcast of Q&A),addresses their issues andconcerns more effectively

than traditional journalism, inwhich a presumed expert tellsus what it all means?

We’ll explore publicperceptions of another trendin political media – theattempt to humanise ourpoliticians. Now, there arethose who believe that the‘dumbing down’ of politics isseen nowhere more than inthe rise of light, insubstantial,human interest journalismabout political style andpersonality – the sideshowcondemned by LindsayTanner. But it might also beargued that, for better orworse, twenty first centurycitizens want to see theirleaders, actual and aspiring,in ordinary, non-professionalcontexts – to judge them as“real people”, rather than onlyas members of an exaltedelite. ABC’s Kitchen Cabinet,in which Annabel Crabbbreaks bread with a well-known pollie is an example ofhow media organisations aretrying to address that desire.

We’ll also ask about the roleof political satire in formingthe public’s perceptions. Weenter this project with a firmbelief in what someone oncecalled the ‘revolutionarypower of laughter’. Revolutionmay not be on the cards, butpoliticians in a moderndemocracy should expectcritical scrutiny of their effortsto include the kind of joshingthey receive on ShaunMicallef’s Mad As Hell. TheProject also has that satiricalquality, as has The Chaser atits best.

Such programs are not quitewhat Jurgen Habermasmeant when he rathersomberly defined the publicsphere in the late 1960s, butin 2013 perhaps they canplay a positive role inengaging the disengagedwith a different kind of politicalknowledge.
