No access mad e no difference to some, as barric ading was rem oved.

Dune erosion in no-access areas caused by quad bikes and vehicles.

MAPOON Traditional Owners were shocked at the lack of respect shown to their environment by campers at Cullen Point over the Easter long weekend. In early March Mapoon Land & Sea Rangers reported that wet season tides had inundated the north shore of the popular camping area at Cullen Point, causing beach erosion to the banks and cliffs and the sensitive area was closed to traffic and camping. Barricading was erected and cooperation from local residents and the general public was sought while advice was sought on how best to maintain and restore the area. Following the Easter weekend Tjungundji Traditional Owners Geraldine Mamoose and Alma Day visited Cullen Point, and were horrified at the damage and destruction that had been inflicted on the area. “I found it very disturbing coming out here, even after the area had been cleaned up,” Ms Mamoose, a Mapoon Land & Sea Ranger said. “It really tells a story. People just have no respect.” UU continued page 2

Quad bike tracks covered sensitive dune areas, eroded through quad, motorbike and vehicle damage.

Restricting access had little effect as taped-off roads were driven on to provide access to out-of-bounds areas.

caused concern for Mrs Day who said she feels responsible for people who visit her land. “I want people to share our land and to come here, but they must respect it and not damage it,” she said. “I am afraid for people that there are so many crocodiles here, people need to be careful. If they are just riding everywhere they are not only damaging the area they are putting themselves at risk.” There were also reports of vehicles, quad and motorcycle riders driving and riding endlessly up and down Front Beach, including during

Large amounts of rubbish were dumped in and around Cullen Point, toilet cleaning gear was thrown from the public toilets at the main camping ground, and bollards and fencing around the toilet area were removed. Barrier fences and signs made no difference to some, as they were removed or run over to gain access to out-of bounds areas with quad bikes and cars. “A lot of the regeneration plantings have been smashed and run over,” Ms Mamoose told the Bully on Saturday.

“It’s really upsetting, as we have spent a lot of time trying to regenerate the area. To see people totally disrespect the work we do as Rangers, and just drive cars and quad bikes through these areas is awful.” Campers also showed little respect when it came to fires over the Easter weekend, with many left burning after the visitors had vacated the area. Evidence of standing, live trees cut for firewood, fires placed too close to fences, and vegetation burned was seen all around the area. New quad tracks created in the bush and sensitive areas

a beachside Easter Sunday church service. “That was just so disrespectful, and it was very upsetting for the community members at the service,” Mrs Day said. The Traditional Owners pointed out that not all the damage can be blamed on visitors, and that locals had to show respect when using the area also. “We need to learn how to manage the people and the environment as well. It is up to the people themselves to decide to do the right thing,” Mrs Day said.

78;:257+ :22'6 &$55,(56 This boatie and his family were able to contact Weipa Police to arrange VMR assistance when their engine failed on a fishing trip last Thursday. Their tow back to Evans Landing by Weipa VMR was the last free assist to be conducted before charges will apply.

PETER Graham (Crazy Pete), contacted the Western Cape Bulletin following last week’s article covering Volunteer Marine Rescue and the new guidelines for RACQ type of on water assistance for boaties. The ink had not had time to dry on last week’s edition when the first call for assistance came in. It was mentioned in the story that boaties did not need to carry a beacon if you are within half a nautical mile (about one kilometre) from shore. The following story just goes

to show how quickly situations at sea can turn full circle in a matter of minutes. A couple and their four yearold child left Evans Landing for a very short trip across the harbour to Roberts Creek last Thursday. After fishing for some time, in their very small tinnie, it was time to make the 10-minute trip back to the Landing. It was a perfect day, fine and reasonably calm. Somewhere near the halfway mark back to the Landing the gearbox seized on the outboard, and the skipper dropped

anchor while he investigated the problem. It very quickly became apparent that the small anchor was no match for the rushing outgoing tide. Despite their best efforts the tinnie began a fast drift out to sea, out through the mouth of the harbour and through the leads and out into open water. It was just a matter of pure luck that the weather was kind, and the skipper managed to make contact with Weipa Police, via his mobile phone. Police then contacted Crazy and an assist was put into ac-

tion with VMR crewman Nick Prus. “The point here being,� said Crazy, “Although the vessel was well within the inshore limits in relation to beacons, and was not required to carry one on that particular voyage, this could have had a far different ending had the weather changed, or the skipper’s phone not worked�. The vessel was the last one to receive a free assist before the new system rolls out. It was the second assist for that particular day.

QCCU need your wish lists QUEENSLAND Country Credit Union are calling for local notfor-profit groups to submit proposals for grant funding under their community grants scheme which runs until midMay. The local Credit Union has funded 28 projects in Weipa, to a total of over $78,000, in the past eight years and is looking again to support local not-for profit-groups with worthwhile projects and programs. Queensland Country Branch Manager Darryl Hill said the program had led to the establishment

of some very strong relationships with community groups. “We have been thrilled to provide funding for local groups to help them realise their goals over the past eight years. “Last year we funded a variety of initiatives, from sporting equipment to office equipment and furniture and even paint.� he said. Interested groups can obtain a brochure and an application form at qccu.com.au, or visit the Queensland Country Credit Union branches at Corner of Kerr Point Drive and Commercial Avenue for more information.

Crocodile culling a no-brainer IN response to an article in last week’s Western Cape Bulletin regarding the new State Government’s intention to implement “an improved statewide croc management plan”, Australia Zoo wildlife ranger (Cape York) Barry Lyon has prepared the following common sense reasons not to re-introduce crocodile culling in the Cape... 1. As apex predators, crocodiles are vital in keeping their ecosystems healthy. They keep in check the balance of animal numbers below them - as any observant angler will tell you, where there are good numbers of crocodiles, the river is healthy with balanced fish populations. Crocodiles are slow growing predators, living similar life spans to humans. Start taking the big ones out and it upsets the social structure, breeding success, and soon the river/billabong health. Start culling crocodiles and you will upset the balance and lose that vital ecological health that sustains healthy fisheries. Back in the 1970’s I was involved with crocodile research/ surveys with the QNPWS just after the hunting era. We searched for, and tried to catch, crocodiles over countless kilometres of Gulf riverways, in most places rarely seeing them nor, incidentally, barramundi. However our trapping nets caught untold thousands of catfish and bony bream. It was only when we drove cross country to very remote billabongs that good numbers of crocodiles, a balanced diversity of barramundi and other fish were found - in what were very healthy waterholes.This vital role and relationship has been obvious time and time again. 2. Being apex predators and being mostly confined to aquatic/ estuarine habitats, crocodiles don’t occur in massive populations like grazing animals, or smaller predators such as barramundi. Realistically, the total area of rivers and billabongs is just a small fraction of the landscape, thus their numbers can be easily depleted. Interestingly, the human populations of Africa has mostly learnt to live with such predators as big cats which unlike crocodiles, confined to the water (except when nesting, basking or taking short distance movements), roam widely across the landscape and are therefore much more of a threat. 3. Non-consumptive use of wildlife is sustainable on an ongoing basis. Big cats and bears are huge ongoing revenue raisers in those countries where they occur as a result of the large numbers of tourists that wish to see them. If not hunted, they continue being available, year after year. However, once an animal is dead it can no longer contribute in this way, nor are they any longer part of their ecosystems. 4. We have untold thousands of feral animals that need controlling: why not focus on them? 5. There is a huge potential Page 4 Western Cape Bulletin April 18, 2012

tourist market on Cape York to show visitors crocodiles and other wildlife for substantial economic reward, should people/ communities want to take such initiatives on. Overseas tourists and Australians are crying out for such experiences, but need to rely on guided operators to ensure a full and safe experience. All that is needed are boats, some guides or rangers and some marketing, and it will readily happen (as it does in the NT). 6. Crocodiles are totems for some Cape York indigenous people - killing them is taboo. 7. Current knowledge shows that crocodiles are self-limiting in terms of population levels. Once populations reach an optimum level that relates to available habitat and food, crocodiles keep their own populations under control, as evidenced by the number of crocodile killed by their own (with large males killing and possibly eating smaller crocodiles). 8. The Northern Territory has far greater numbers of crocodiles than Queensland - a result of much better and far more extensive habitat. Surveys there show up to 40 crocodiles per kilometre of river, compared to just 8 or 10 in Queensland’s richest crocodile river. The NT has healthy crocodile populations and the best barramundi fishing in the world - the two species and thousands of anglers living side by side (see point 1). 9. Culling crocodiles does not make anywhere crocodile free or crocodile safe. Others move in to take the place of those removed, and it is absolutely impossible in remote areas to make places crocodile-free or crocodile safe. They are simply a fact of life, just like traffic jams in a city. 10) Any crocodile threat has to be kept in perspective. Crocodiles cause approximately one fatality per year In Australia, compared with 1500 to 2000 deaths (plus thousands of other injuries) from vehicle accidents. Even bees are

statistically more dangerous. Nuisance or problem crocs are dealt with by the authorities, and people living in crocodile areas need to abide by croc safe rules, just like road rules. A number of old bushies I know point out that crocodiles live in rivers, billabongs and along coastlines - in total a relatively small part of the country - leaving plenty of Australia where there are no crocodiles if people want to move to those places. 11) The ethics surrounding reintroducing hunting for large, wild, predatory animals is very negatively controversial and way out of date. Hunting such wildlife is basically about satisfying the egos of big game hunters, nothing more. One would expect that many overseas nature-loving tourists would boycott the NT or any other parts of Australia if hunting were reintroduced. 12) Estuarine crocodiles are living dinosaurs, the world’s largest living reptiles and the iconic animal of Australia’s north. Our country is the earth’s last remaining stronghold for estuarine crocodiles. 13) Fatally shooting crocodiles requires a high level of accuracy to hit a small target area, being even more difficult at night. This creates the risk of non-fatally shot, injured and cranky crocodiles swimming around in our rivers, now posing a significant risk to people’s safety. 14) Allowing hunting/culling will open a huge can of worms in terms of an expansion of poaching, which is virtually impossible to control. Currently listed as vulnerable, hunting crocodiles opens a very wide door for a black market hunting and skin industry. 15) Australia Zoo remains totally committed to the protection of crocodiles and learning more about these remarkable animals, and continues to invest substantial resources into researching them each year and educating children and the broader community.

Weipa RSL sub-branch prepares for ANZAC Day

Weipa RSL sub-branch members (from left) Shirley Russell, president Ian Dickinson, ceremonial officer Ian Pressley and Lloyd Williams manned the memorabilia stall at the Weipa shopping centre last Saturday. Anyone who missed out can catch them again this Saturday morning. Photo: Fiona Langsdorf.

MEMBERS of the Weipa RSL sub-branch were busy manning a memorabilia stall last Saturday at the Weipa Shopping Centre prior to next week’s ANZAC Day comemmorations. President Neil Dickinson said funds raised from the stall would go towards RSL community projects and Legacy. The local sub-branch will also be auctioning a miniature slouch hat (pictured front

left) at the gunfire breakfast to be held next Wednesday, at the B Company 51st Battalion Far North Queensland Regiment’s headquarters at Villers-Bretonneux depot Evans Landing at 7am, following the Weipa ANZAC Day dawn service. Mr Dickinson said the miniature slouch hats were an exact replica of slouch hats worn by Aussie diggers and were originally manufactured

during the Second World War as souvenirs for diggers. Manufacture has since ceased and according to Mr Dickinson the little hats are “as rare as hen’s teeth”. Mr Dickinson purchased the slouch hat from Sydney Hatters and has decided to put it up for auction to raise funds for the Weipa RSL sub-branch, to be used towards community projects and Legacy. If you missed out on your

chance to purchase Defence Force memorabilia last Saturday, be sure to be at the Weipa Shopping Centre this Saturday morning for your chance to stock up before ANZAC Day. More information regarding Weipa ANZAC Day commemorations, and an exciting Western Cape Bulletin ANZAC Day competition, can be found on page 17.

NEWS Global warming unlikely to mean the end of coral reefs CLIMATE change will mean winners and losers on the coral reef, a new study has found. And while critical issues remain, researchers found global warming was unlikely to mean the end of coral reefs along the Great Barrier Reef. The report, which details the first large-scale investigation of climate effects on corals, found that, as ocean temperatures rise, some species of corals are likely to succeed at the expense of others. Te r r y H u g h e s o f James Cook University said researchers examined coral composition along the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef. “The good news is that, rather than experiencing wholesale destruction, many coral reefs will survive climate change by changing the mix of coral species as the ocean warms and becomes more acidic,� Mr Hughes said. “That’s important for people who rely on the rich and beautiful coral reefs of today for food, tourism, and other livelihoods.� Researchers identified and measured more than 35,000 coral colonies

on 33 reefs, revealing a surprising flexibility in the assembly of corals. As they saw one species decline in abundance, some other species would tend to rise. The waxing or waning of any given coral species the researchers observed as they moved along the coastline occurred independently of changes to other coral species. Hughes concludes that corals’ response to climate change is likely to be more complicated than many had thought. “If susceptible table and branching species are replaced by moundshaped corals, it would leave fewer nooks and crannies where fish shelter and feed,� he said. “Coral reefs are also threatened by much more local impacts, especially by pollution and overfishing. “We need to address all of the threats, including climate change, to give coral reefs a fighting chance for the future.� The report was published online on April 12 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology.

FRIDAY Combining an educational and recyling theme, together with local arts and crafts, the Weipa Visitor Information Centre supplies local information to newcomers and visitors.

THE Weipa Visitor Information Centre is busily preparing for the upcoming tourist season. Located in Iraci Ave, Evans Landing the centre opened mid-2011, in response to an ever-increasing demand for local information in the tourist season. Using an educational and recycling theme, three local women opened and voluntarily operated the centre from July to November. The aim was to readily supply local information such as town maps, places of interest, permits, shopping hours, accommodation, along with AQIS and Fisheries regulations. With an increasing influx of contractors and government department employees, newcomers are keen to learn the day to day activities of life on the Cape and the girls at the centre are there to provide that information.

Some species of coral may do better than others as global temperatures rise, researchers have found. Photo: Steve Evans.

According to the girls the response to the infomation centre has been heartening, and preparations are now underway to open “even bigger and better� in 2012. An arts and craft section delivers an insight to the wealth of local talent, with displays of ceramics, craft, candles, indigenous paintings, didgeridoos, jewellery and much more, either on display or for sale. The Weipa Visitor Information Centre will be launching a competition next week in an effort to find a suitable logo for the centre, incorporating a turtle. They will also be asking the community to offer suggestions for a suitable name for the centre that will represent not only Weipa but all that we love and hold precious in the Cape. Details of the logo and name competitions will be published in next week’s Western Cape Bulletin.

Thank you, people of Cook I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank all the good people of Cook for the faith that was instilled in me on polling day. Although we may not have reached the goal this time, the uniform

result across the electorate of Cook and also the State, shows that in future years we will definitely be the third alternative that Queensland and Australia needs. Bob Katter and I are very excited about the future prospects of Katter’s Australian Party, in both a State and Federal arena. We still have the fastest growing membership base of all

the political parties. I thoroughly enjoyed the past six months and I had the opportunity to meet many, many wonderful people. I thank all of my hard working teams across the regions, for without such help I wouldn’t have been able to achieve the result we did. In three years time, if the need arises to step back into the arena as

a candidate, then I will be digging out my old corflutes and stepping up to the plate. I won’t be disappearing into the mist, and I look forward to seeing many of you in future times. Thank you to all of those who helped on polling day and the many months prior. Locky Bensted Mareeba

What are Queensland’s top innovations? ARE Queenslanders an innovative lot? The organisers of the Queensland Heritage Festival think so but want public input ahead of the month-long celebration. The National Trust of Queensland is staging the festival from today, April 18 and has drawn up its own shortlist of top Queensland innovations to spark debate. Trust president Stephen Sheaffe said the festival theme - Amazing Stories: Innovation and Invention – celebrated the state’s long history of overcoming adversity through innovation. “Queensland is very diverse. It’s a very decentralised state. For people to come to this type of environment they had to be innovative to survive,� he said. “There is nothing more iconic than the Queenslander, which addressed the problems of ventilation, white ants and flooding but hundreds of lesser known innovations have also transformed the place we call home. “We want to hear what ordinary Queenslanders think. They have the best sense of Queensland’s history and often have family connections to the state’s pioneers.� The Trust’s list includes the Queenslander and Qantas. It also includes lesser known innovations such as the pineapple peeler and the national integrity system. Mr

Sheaffe said the festival had an important role to play in raising awareness of heritage and how to protect it. “I think people have a natural interest in heritage because they do want to know about where they came from,� he said. “And they will act to protect that heritage if given the chance, as the success of the fundraising

invented this pineapple peeler in 1971 after watching his wife cutting the peel off a pineapple before slicing it. He thought of a better way and took it to The Inventors programme in 1972. It brought an enthusiastic response. The invention adjusts to any size of pineapple, peeling and coring one slice at a time. The peeler was developed, patented and manufactured and has been sold all over the world.

The Queenslander The mix of materials and design in the traditional Queenslander solved the problems presented by the Queensland environment. Timber was a light and inexpensive but it was vulnerable to attack from termites. Houses were constructed on stumps to

The high heat conductivity of tin iron roofing and the poor insulation offered by timber meant that ventilation was critical, which was why the raised profile proved so popular.

HEALTH

Good Life

The following exercises are easy and need no equipment and are intended to strengthen a healthy back to keep it healthy.

with Jeany Schall

A pain in the back I HAVE recently updated the Goodline manual-handling presentation for our induction and thought I would share with you the facts about how back pain and injuries occur. Depending on your age and activity levels, if you have never suffered from any back pain before, you are one of the lucky ones. Pain in the back may or can be consistent while moving or being still, sitting, standing or laying down. For some there is no escape. Therefore it is in your best interest to maintain a healthy, happy back. Here’s some anatomy: Your back is made out of 24 vertebraes which are aligned onto each other. Each vertebrae is a single bone, which is divided by discs and connected with muscles joints and ligaments to keep you up straight, facilitate movement and posture, to prevent damage to your spine and protect the spinal cord. The discs take the weight, and the sliding joints guide, limit and control movement. The discs are made up of two parts which serve different purposes, the ball in the middle is 90% water and takes the load from above. Surrounding the ball are 90 fibrous tissues which hug the ball tightly and prevent it from flattening under load. Your discs mainly act as shock absorbers and spacers so that your nerves can operate the way they have been intended to and communicate between the brain and all motor neuron actions throughout your body. When the nerves are damaged it can cause some severe pain, a tingling sensation or a limp, and a part of your body can be completely “gone� or could possibly be paralysed. This is why I am encouraging you to take appropriate

actions to preserve your back and discs as much as you can. Did you know? • Lower back pain occurs with the same frequency in people with sedentary occupations as those in heavy labour • Poor hydration and nutrition may contribute to increased back and disc injuries • Musculo-skeletal disorders arising from work situations contribute to major expenses and are a major reason for lost time due to injuries • Smokers are more likely to suffer back pain than non-smokers • Being overweight increases the likelihood of back pain • Age doesn’t necessarily make any difference, bad backs affect people of all ages • Poor handling techniques when you are young will contribute to problems in later life Those who have suffered from a back injury are three times more likely to suffer injury again. Back pain is not always necessarily caused by heavy work and heavy weights. Other factors can contribute as well, such as poor static posture, remaining too long in one position, sudden movement, vibration during handling and often through psychological stress. What can you do? To retain a happy, healthy back or to improve the health of your back, and therefore your overall wellbeing the answer is simple. Strengthen it! Please be advised that if you are suffering from back pain already, or have degenerative discs the worst thing is to do nothing, but you may want to see a professional that can give you tailored exercises for your particular condition.

also pull in your lower back. Don’t let that back round. That can happen if you become fatigued. And if you do, stop and take a break. When you get stronger bring your knees above the hips (as shown) and keep the chin away from you chest. Hold for 10 seconds (breathing) and repeat three times.

Tighten buttocks. Shoulder to knees should be in straight line. Hold for a count of five. Slowly lower buttocks to floor. Repeat five to fifteen times. To increase difficulty of the basic bridge, raise one leg off ground (squeeze buttocks firmly before you raise your leg). Hold for five seconds. Switch sides. Repeat five to fifteen times.

War driving project to help prevent identity theft

Queensland Depots: Humbug Wharf, Weipa 24 Tingara Street, Portsmith

NATIONAL Consumer Fraud Week is now underway and Queensland Police are launching a new project aimed at encouraging the public to protect their identity and personal information online. The State Crime Operations Command’s Fraud and Corporate Crime Group have announced the rollout of the ‘War Driving Project’, which will focus on prompting the community to check their wireless internet connection and ensure it’s secure. Detective Superintendent Brian Hay said police have identified a large number of homes and businesses within the greater Brisbane area with wireless connections that are not secure or have limited protection. These people may as well put their bank account details, passwords and personal details on a billboard on the side of the highway. “Unprotected or unsecured wireless networks are easy to infiltrate and hack. Criminals can then either take over the connection and commit fraud online or steal the personal details of the owner. This is definitely the next

step in identity fraud.” “Check your connection tonight and make sure it is protected,” Detective Superintendent Hay said. The biggest concern for police is ‘open’ wireless connections (access points). An open or unprotected connection or point allows anyone to use your internet, monitor your activity, or steal your identity information. Another concern for police is access points that use ‘WEP’ (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption as their sole means of security. This is an older form of security or encryption and offers a limited protection. “Having WEP encryption is like using a closed screen door as your sole means of security at home. The WPA or WPA2 security encryption is certainly what we would recommend as it offers a high degree of protection,” Detective Superintendent Hay said. For more information on the War Driving Project or tips on how to secure your connection, visit the Queensland Police Service website http://www.police.qld.gov. au/safewifi

The authority of Jesus to do what he did in the Temple was questioned by the chief priests, teachers of the Law and the elders, and the Lord’s answer given in the form of a question back to them left them stunned. The gospel writer Matthew reports that many blind and crippled people came to Jesus in the Temple straight after he drove out the evil from his Father’s house, and he healed them all. Notice that those who are looking for help will always be attracted to God’s houses where they feel love and see it in action. (Matthew Ch 21 vs 14-17).

Did the hearts of the chief priests and the teachers of the Law soften towards Jesus because of his wonderful acts? No way! These guys were so hard in their hearts (spirits) that they actually became angry with Jesus, and the kids for calling Jesus “David’s Son”. You see, in their innocence, by repeating what they heard earlier on by the crowd who greeted Jesus when he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, the kids were proclaiming that Jesus was the Messiah! (The Jews believed that a descendant of David would be the Messiah).

But check out Matthew Ch 9 v 13 and think on it. Last week we asked the question about why Jesus kept quiet when he was fronted up to Pilate to answer false accusations aimed at him, given that he proved to be a very skilful debater. (Mark Ch 15 vs 2-5.) He never said a word, and I reckon that he kept quiet even though he had the skills to prove the lies wrong, because then Pilate could have set him free! He would have messed up his Father’s plan for him to go to the Cross. What do you reckon? The Lord Jesus died for you and me. Rev Michael Connolly.

Queensland local government elections – April 28, 2012

Your vote does count LOCAL government elections will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2012 and The Western Cape Bulletin will this week introduce to you the chairperson candidates for the Weipa Town Authority (WTA), and the mayoral candidates for Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council. In the 2004 local elections one WTA candidate won their seat by just one vote, so although voting in the WTA elections is not compulsory, readers are reminded that your vote can indeed make a difference to the outcome of the election. In past elections, Weipa voters have been quite apathetic, with only 12 per cent of those on the electoral roll voting in the 2008 elections, and 25 per cent in the 2004 elections. However, with a great deal of discussion around the future direction of the town, and a record number of candidates nominated for WTA

positions it is hoped that a large per centage of voters on the roll will take five minutes and vote. Weipa returning officer and WTA CEO, Ian Pressley, spoke with ABC Far North this week and said he believed the changing demographics of the town were responsible for the increased interest in this year’s elections. “I think there’s a lot more interest in the community these days... people have been able to purchase their own homes, and I think people are just starting to take a lot more interest in what decisions their local authority (council) are making in relation to the town,” Mr Pressley said. With four candidates nominated for the position of WTA chairperson, and six running for the three vacant positions in the member area Mr Pressley hopes voters will be more inclined to cast a vote. “I think the fact we’ve had

so many members nominate is an indication that people are showing some interest, and I think the town is maturing as a result,” he said. “We’re hoping that given the interest this time around that people get out and vote, and take this a little bit more seriously, so that they can vote for the person they want to represent them over the course of the next four years.” If you will not be in the electoral district Saturday, April 28 you can make sure you have your say, and cast a pre-poll vote at the centres listed on this page. Voters can contact the Electoral Commission Queensland’s helpline on 1300 881 665, Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, and Saturday 8am to 6pm, including election day for more information, or go to the ECQ website www.ecq.qld.gov.au

I WAS born and raised at Napranum, which was then known as the “Weipa Mission Station”. While living in Napranum I have seen first-hand the difficulties that the community have had to endure; however I have also seen, and been a part of, the successes the community of Napranum have been able to achieve over the years. Prior to becoming the mayor of the Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council in 2008 I worked as a healthworker for many years. During this time I have stood for council on two occasions and was elected as councillor in 1990, and again during a by-election in 2006. During my term in office as mayor my fellow councillors and I have had to undertake and make some hard decisions, taking into consideration our community and the changes within the Local Government Act and how we stand to benefit from them. It has been a long and hard drive however, with transparency, accountability, dedication and persistence, we have managed to establish some good outcomes that were necessary for the de-

velopment of the community and the wellbeing of the people by enabling the community to be financially stable through working closely with the previous CEO, financial consultant and finance staff to get an “unqualified audit”; and ensuring that the recognition and partnership with the government and non-government agencies that was lost in the past was restored to our advantage. Should I be elected as mayor for another term in the up and coming local government elections on Saturday, April 28, 2012, I will dedicate myself too ensuring that what is on the current agenda is fulfilled and that: • The delivery of the five houses and the four two-bedroom duplexes that are allocated to Napranum will commence and be completed as soon as possible; • Funding for the current community bus service is followed up to ensure that the people of Napranum who do not have their own transport can continue to have transportation; • A youth program is negotiated, developed and delivered within the next few months;

• Accommodation for the people that are doing apprenticeships within the council is in place; and for when they have to leave the community to do their studies at TAFE; • The 20 apprenticeships that have been forecast for the youth of community is implemented effectively and appropriately; • Expansion of our current “Working on Country” ranger program is implemented; • The replacement of the street lighting within the community is completed over the next one to three months; • A day care centre for the community is completed, and delivery of the service take effect within the next two months; • Playground equipment for the two allocated sites around the community are installed within the next one to three months; • The upgrade of our sports oval and basketball courts and the transformation of the tennis courts into a volleyball court is put into effect; • Avenues for a wholesale store is explored and implemented; • The Napranum Community by-laws reinstated and enforced; • Funding for upgrades of access

roads to traditional lands on our DOGIT is followed up and put into effect; • Funding and re-establishment of the events steering committee is put into effect as soon as possible; • The re-establishment of the health action group (hat) is put into effect as soon as possible. In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to inform the residents of Napranum that the completion and adoption of the 10-year Community Plan, five-year Corporate Plan and the one-year Operational Plan has been finalised. The purpose of these plans is to help us ensure that we capture the needs of the community and deliver the necessities. These plans are open, and available to the community at various organisations within the community, and will also be available on the Napranum web-site in the next week or so. I would also like to add that the plans are active documents and that suggestions for changes, feedback/comments from the community is welcome, and will be taken into consideration and will be greatly appreciated.

If elected as mayor of Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council I would address the following issues: Human rights – employment, education, health and housing; Cultural heritage – keeping it strong; Our housing situation (overcrowding); Education of our Indigenous children; Land and sea issues. At the end of my four-year term as mayor I would like to have completed my diploma in community development and have been able to improve the lives of my Indigenous people’s to the mainstream standard, as well as ensuring law and order for the future. I will be my people’s voice to lobby the government for a better way of living, rather than the third world conditions we have to live in. As a fifth generation grandmother I know the future of the next generation depends on us now, and voices from my community need to be heard. All communities are not exactly the same.

Candidate for mayor, Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council

I WAS born on Thursday Island and moved to Napranum in 1971. From 1986 to 1991 I worked for the Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council (NASC), and then for Comalco/Rio Tinto from 1991 to 1998, returning to Napranum in 2005 to take up a teamleader position for Na Kuraga. I have also been employed as a youth worker for NASC, a SEDS officer, and as a supervisor for CEA and manager of CDEP. I am currently employed as the leading hand for the NASC council services. Some of the specific issues I would like to address if elected to the position of NASC mayor would include: • Implement and fast-track adequate housing that is cost effective and green safe; • Employment, training and development that is tailored to our young people’s needs; • Move to recognise the TOs and bring the balance be-

I AM a traditional member of Anathangayth tribe, which owns lands within the Napranum Local Shire Council area, due-east of Weipa. I have been involved in Aboriginal affairs since 1993. In 1997 I was voted in by the people of the Cape York zone onto the board of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), where I served a total

of nine years. During this period of my life I gained valuable knowledge in governance and politics at local, state and federal levels. If elected as mayor of the Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council I would look at the status of the Community Plans, identify what takes priority, and make sure that all services are addressed by local government

tween community members that we may embrace the 21st century together; • Better town planning, better roads, a new boat ramp and storm water drainage; • Close the gap between councillors and community members with a more open form of communication, including public meetings and newsletters; • Maintain and support the Napranum Sports Association to develop a structure for our youth’s activities and entertainment for the broader community; • Encourage opportunities for small businesses and economic development within our community and the region; • Support changes toward the AMP with community consultation on alcohol policies; • Closing the gap between education and employment by factoring work placement opportunities within the council administration and building sector;

standards. When this is done, I would look at policies and training before we all start going forward, and to identify portfolios. I will address policies concerning: • Health and education, employment and social issues • Homeless, age care, housing, home ownership, and single-person accommodation; • Land tenure, Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) and land transfers, and form a solid Traditional Owner reference group; • Leasing, enterprises, contracts; • Sustainable development on homelands, traditional outstations, road upgrade and tourist camp areas; • Infrastructure – service station, water, sewerage, roads, council maintenance and repairs, workshops, power and telecommunications; • Kerb and channelling and stormwater drainage of all main streets; • Law and order – justice system;

• Environment, land and sea management policies are adhered to in the hope of a sustainable future. At the end of my four year term I hope to have developed and secured the trust of the people to continue leading them, in or out of politics. I also envisage maintaining a standard of accountability, set by the people of Napranum and the government, and define the difference between leadership and integral leadership. Napranum has been my home for over 40 years and I love the people of my community. Whenever I speak, I speak for the people. I live to serve the people because I know that the greatest commodity on the planet (that the land is second to), is the health and wellbeing of our people. I believe that with my understanding of the needs of the Napranum community I have the capacity to prepare the people for the 21st century.

• Men, women and youth groups, services and programs; • Sports and recreational programs, sports and recreation centre, sports oval. I will also be addressing the following specific issues: • Support from the WCCA Trust; • Rio Tinto – Weipa relations with strong dialogue to ensure opportunities for enterprises; • Federal, State and Local Government services for Napranum, and open discussion on CDEP; • Governance training; • Code of conduct; • Rehabilitate the old dump area and develop a new site operated by Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council; • Tavern for social functions, motel accommodation; • New multi-purpose shopping centre for the community. If elected, at the end of my four-year term I would like to have achieved a good sustainable plan for Napranum. Also, a solid agreement with Rio Tinto regarding contracting opportuni-

ties, land management and rehabilitating mined areas. I envisage our own housing management system – managed by Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council; new sub-divisions for new housing, and a social housing management system managed by a corporation. I will encourage community-based businesses and will support Nanum Tawap Corporation and their operation of the block plant, topsoil, sawmill and sand supply. I would like to see a public transport firmly established with bus and taxi services owned and operated by Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council. Overall, after a four-year term I would expect to establish a legacy of sustainability for the community. I want to share my knowledge and ideas with my people. Fresh ides lead to fresh change and fresh opportunities. I believe that I have what it takes to assist Napranum into becoming a progressive and productive community.

Queensland local government elections – April 28, 2012

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION APRIL 28, 2012

Ian McNamara Candidate for chair, Weipa Town Authority

MY family moved to Weipa in 1981 when I purchased Weipa Newsagency & Sports store, which we operated for 21 years. Back in 1981 the newsagency was situated in Cumrumja Close, in which we now reside. Late in 1981 we moved to the newly-opened Nanum Shopping Centre and in 1989 we built the McNamara Centre in Commercial Avenue, which we still own, although we sold the newsagency in 2002. During the 90s I served on the first town body, then called the Weipa Cititzens Advisory

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION APRIL 28, 2012

Gina Jenkins Candidate for chair, Weipa Town Authority

Committee, later called Weipa Town Committee. Owing to work commitments I did not nominate in 2000. When I was looking to invest in Weipa I spoke to then Town Manager, Jim Brown, about the life expectancy of the mine, and he advised that Weipa was fairly safe for 30 to 40 years, until the mine was moved to south of the Embley River. I have since been assured by mine management that Weipa will continue to be the town for the duration of the mining south of the Embley. The mine means jobs, and jobs means that the house and business values are maintained. Let us all accept that Weipa and Rio Tinto go hand-in-hand, and without the mine Weipa would be a seasonal tourist town. Whether we go to a Council, or stay with Rio Tinto under the Commonwealth Aluminium Act 1957 makes little difference, but I do not think it would be beneficial to Weipa to be made part of the Cook Shire. If we stay as we are we have the best of two worlds; we can access grants from both the State and Federal Governments, as well as Rio Tinto. The present Weipa Town Authority have done a marvellous job of accessing State and Federal Government grants for numerous town facilities. During the 90s we were unable to access any of this funding. I am nominating for the Chair of Weipa Town Authority and if elected my first priority would be town infrastructure, which is old and in desperate

need of maintenance. I would move to have the rehabilitation and extension of water, sewerage, power and roads fast-tracked. This way we can slowly bring the old infrastructure up to scratch and at the same time extend the services to new land development to address the housing shortage. This would keep jobs in Weipa while maintaining the house and business values. With the development of South of Embley, extending mining for 40-odd years, the future of Weipa looks very bright. The road to normalisation is ongoing. While Rio Tinto and the State Government negotiate how much the town infrastructure is worth, Weipa Town Authority should enter an interim agreement with Rio Tinto to have a set amount to offset the transition to normal local government. I will continue to lobby Rio Tinto for the Weipa Town Authority to have its own ABN number so that the federal government will look more favourably at abolishing GST on rates and giving federal assistance grants. We need to triple the size of the Evans Landing boat ramp, which has become dangerous with so many people trying to launch and retrieve on just one ramp. We need to lobby to get the same $99 airfares as other towns on the Cape are offered.

MY reason for wanting to be your chairperson of our great town is simply to continue to move Weipa forward. I moved to Weipa when I was 15 years of age and completed my schooling at Weipa North State High School. I then completed a traineeship with Comalco and yes, I married a local boy who completed all his schooling here and then an apprenticeship with Comalco. Brett and I have two children who are both employed as apprentices, working with Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA). While raising our two children, I completed a four-year university Bachelor of Education. I worked as a teacher at Kuranda, Mareeba, Cloncurry, Bamaga, Weipa and TAFE. I am firmly committed to the concept of self-development and am nearing completion of a double degree, majoring in Human Resource and Community Relations. I am a local girl who has made herself an academic by planning well ahead, being organised, heaps of commitment and just good old plain hard work. In addition to a rewarding career as a teacher, I have been privileged

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION APRIL 28, 2012

Bill Ennis Candidate for chair, Weipa Town Authority

I WOULD like to proffer my nomination for the chair of Weipa Town Authority and introduce myself to many of you. I am a 50-year resident of the Gulf and Cape York areas and have previous experience in local government, serving seven years as a councillor on the Carpentaria Shire Council (CSC), three of which as deputy chair. This vast shire then extended west to Burketown and

to work with a great team within the Weipa Department of Communities as a child safety officer and as an operator with RTA. I have presently turned my drive to a challenge that I hold very close which is our Weipa youth. I was instrumental with the development of the Cloncurry PCYC that continues a very successful and productive operation that reaches out to, and assists the Cloncurry community to stay healthy and active. I am the local co-ordinator of the Weipa PCYC and for the last six months worked very hard to ensure the success of the Weipa PCYC school-age care. So let’s get down to the grind, my pledge to you...this will be: a strong Weipa Town Authority team with whom I will work collaboratively to answer the needs of Weipa. We will achieve this together by aligning with the Weipa Community Plan and by engaging with all key stakeholders, but most importantly, everyday Weipa people, who are affected by everyday Weipa issues. I am firmly committed to the key principals of honesty, integrity, efficiency, ownership and participation, whilst remaining totally

north to include Pormpuraaw and Kowanyama. During my time on the CSC I also gained valuable experience participating on the Carpentaria Library board, and with the Gulf Local Authority Development Association and Gulf Savannah Tourist Association. I also contributed to various community and discussion groups including the ambulance society and the progress association. In the past 50 years I have owned and operated successful businesses in engineering fishing and tourism. For the past 22 years I have worked on projects large and small in Weipa, and I believe it’s time to give something back, as Weipa has contributed to me both financially and socially. I believe that with my experience in business and local affairs I will bring skills highly useful to the role of chairperson. A few of the issues I would like to address include: Establish a local fire brigade; Install more pedestrian crossings at all major facilities (ie, hospital, Woolworths, Golf Links Estate and the Western Cape College to the hostel); Road safety courses for primary school children. These are the types of activities a normally functioning town council initiates. I would like to thank Carrie Gay for her years of service on the Weipa Town Authority and her contributions to the Weipa community.

transparent and accountable to the entire Weipa community. I have listened and commenced in-roads to address some everyday problems. Through my face book page Weipa Working Together, my community engagement and business interactions have provided me with some key information to put together some key priorities that you have put forward to me as being very important, including but not limited to: • Youth Activities (PCYC); • Safe school area parking and access; • Increase in numbers of emergency services staff (QPS & QAS); • Weipa Community Plan; • Kerbing and channelling; • Land acquisition; • Community sustainability; • Improved local facilities; • Water pressure; • Dog control. My last request is that you take the time on April 28 to let the WTA hear your voice, by placing your valued and important vote. Please remember, a vote for Gina Jenkins is a vote for Weipa Working Together.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION APRIL 28, 2012

Peter McCulkin Candidate for chair, Weipa Town Authority

I HAVE had close ties with the community of Weipa and the broader region since 1999, having now established the first privately-owned driver training service on Cape York. I was an elected member of the Weipa Town Authority (WTA) from 2004-2008, and was part of that WTA team responsible for upgrades to the Rocky Point boat ramp, funding and construction of the new aquatic centre and establishment of the new regional hospital. I am past Inaugural president of the Weipa Fishing Classic Incorporated and current committee member, having assisted in seeing the event grow into one of the Cape’s most iconic annual events. I have been further involved, at the committee level, in a broad range of other community events including the annual Weipa Bull Ride, Weipa’s Wine by the Sea and Weipa Fun Day, also including work with the Western Cape College P&C. I have been heavily involved in marine turtle conservation on the Western Cape since 2001 and assisted the Mapoon Shire Council and Traditional custodians of the Janie Creek area establish Camp Chivaree. More recently I have also facilitated community, student and staff forums for the Western Cape College as a precursor to developing the Western Cape Community Partnership Agreement. Page 16 Western Cape Bulletin April 18, 2012

I have over 25 years public service with extensive experience as a manager then director with the Queensland Government. I have provided extensive briefings to departmental chief executives, ministers and the premier in relation to my role, which saw me travel nationally and internationally in the interests of growing the state’s economy through maritime investment. Under my leadership the ‘mantra’ for the Weipa Town Authority would be the ‘Weipa Community Plan’, a document prepared “by the people of Weipa for the people of Weipa”. Using my intimate knowledge of the ‘machinery of government’ I would advocate strongly for Weipa in order to implement key priorities of the plan; which in broad terms relates to diversifying our economy, improving Weipa’s liveability and a negotiated transitional governance structure with the State Government and Rio Tinto. After my first term of four years I would like the WTA to have addressed the concerns across our suburban areas in relation to water pressure, roads and nuisance dogs, along with a well-planned Andoom Oval (Lions Park/showgrounds) stage one upgrade. The new hospital has some unfinished business from my last term on the WTA (2004-2008); I would like to have completed discussions with the new LNP government in relation to provision of maternity facilities here in Weipa, whilst also having resolved the current uncertainty with the local GP service. Having developed a very close working relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, the Bertiehaugh Road would be opened to tourists, marine infrastructure and marina facilities undergoing development approval with WTA; whilst also having worked closely with Rio Tinto to establish a viable and sustainable model of transitional governance for the WTA to allow ‘normal’ council functionality. Why should you vote for me? Proven experience. The factor that clearly sets me apart from my opponents is my past experience on the WTA as well as the extensive experience I possess in dealing with the ‘machinery of government’ at a high level. This experience will be pivotal as the WTA moves through the next four years. There is an absolute need for all three levels of government to be working together here in Weipa and I have a proven ability to achieve that.

ANZAC DAY

ANZAC DAY Dawn Service at the Weipa Memorial

The ANZAC Day tradition ANZAC Day – April 25 – is probably Australia’s most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day. When war broke out in 1914, Australia had been a federal commonwealth for only 13 years. The new national government was eager to establish its reputation among the nations of the world. In 1915 Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula in order to open the Dardanelles to the allied navies. The ultimate objective was to capture Constantinople (now Istanbul in Turkey), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, an ally of Germany.

The Australian and New Zealand forces landed on Gallipoli on April 25, meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. What had been planned as a bold stroke to knock Turkey out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months. At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated, after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. Over 8,000 Australian soldiers had been killed. News of the landing on Gallipoli had made a profound impact on Australians at home, and April 25 soon became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in the war. Although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions during the campaign left us all a powerful legacy. The creation of what became known as the “ANZAC legend” became an important part of the identity of both nations, shaping the ways they viewed both their

past and their future. April 25 was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916. It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt. Marches were held all over Australia; in the Sydney march, convoys of cars carried wounded soldiers from Gallipoli attended by nurses. For the remaining years of the war, ANZAC Day was used as an occasion for patriotic rallies and recruiting campaigns, and parades of serving members of the AIF were held in most cities. During the 1920s ANZAC Day became established as a national day of commemoration for the 60,000 Australians who had died during the war. In 1927, for the first time every state observed some form of public holiday on ANZAC Day. By the mid-1930s, all the rituals we now associate with the day – dawn vigils, marches, memorial services, reunions, two-up games – were firmly

established as part of ANZAC Day culture. With the coming of the Second World War, ANZAC Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in that war. In subsequent years the meaning of the day has been further broadened to include Australians killed in all the military operations in which Australia has been involved. Australians recognise April 25 as an occasion of national remembrance, which takes two forms. Commemorative services are held at dawn – the time of the original landing – across the nation. Later in the day, ex-servicemen and women meet to take part in marches through the major cities and in many smaller centres. Commemorative ceremonies are more formal and are held at war memorials around the country. In these ways, ANZAC Day is a time when Australians reflect on the many different meanings of war.

Master Of Ceremonies Mr Ian Pressley OAM

Keeping the spirit alive ON ANZAC Day each year Australians pause to reflect on the service of our sailors, soldiers and airmen. We remember their courage, service and sacrifice and we proudly acknowledge the history of the ANZAC spirit. The landing at Gallipoli is where the ANZAC spirit was first expressed and Australians through the generations have continued to acknowledge and demonstrate the spirit of service and mateship. This year, to mark the 97th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli, the Sands of Gallipoli campaign has commissioned a beautiful historically correct artwork depicting the event. The artwork by the renowned artist David Rowlands is named “The Spirit - Gallipoli Landing 1915” and has been reviewed by a number of military historians who agree that it represents the most accurate depiction to date of the dawn landing at Anzac Cove on April 25, 1915. The Western Cape Bulletin invites you to join in sharing this beautiful piece by giving you the opportunity to win a unique prize which truly reflects the spirit of the ANZAC tradition, courtesy of The Military Shop. By sending us a photo of yourself commemorating ANZAC Day 2012, you will go in the running to win a limited edition set of six medallions, currently valued at $225.

ARIES ARIE RIE ES S (March h 21st 21 1st - April A 20th) 20 A meeting with friends may be more enjoyable than you expect. Make sure that you steer clear of a topic which has caused friction in the past, however. Romance. This is not the best time to ask for any favours. A favourable aspect to Mercury right at the end of the week will improve communication with your partner.

TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st) You may be feeling as though you are everybody’s servant at the moment! Don’t let other people make you feel guilty for not helping them. Romance. This will be an excellent time for romance: however, you should be careful of vague promises which are not backed up by action.

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st)

FOR KIDS

You will feel that a lack of ready money is limiting your activities. Something which you have been planning will have to be postponed due to lack of funds. Romance. You may need to give in a little more in order to put a recent disagreement with your partner to rest. You won’t achieve anything by prolonging the dispute.

CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd) Your mind will be focused on your work. It is important to be clear about what you want to achieve in your career, and to make steps in the right direction. Romance. A domestic crisis will have to be sorted out before it gets out of hand. You may not be in the best of moods when you discover who was responsible!

LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) A favourable aspect to Uranus will make you especially creative this week. Time spent developing a new idea will pay off many times over. Romance. Your positive mood will help to give your love-life a boost. An evening with a new friend will work out much better than expected.

VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)

FINDWORD No. 94 A LAUGH WITH LOTSA

You will be extremely adventurous, and will need to find an outlet for your energy. If you don’t find one, you may start to take your frustration out on other people. Romance. If you are starting a new relationship, you may want to wait a few weeks before making a major move. This relationship will take a while to build up strength.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd) Don’t let problems at work spill over into your social life: if you are not able to get a proper perspective on the situation it will be impossible to deal with it effectively. Romance. The next few days should be an especially good time for romance. Don’t appear to be too eager, however.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd)

For all your printing needs – www.lotsa.com.au

MUDDY RIVER

A move to a different job may not solve all your problems. Before you consider such a drastic step, you should think hard about the advantages of your present work. Romance. Time spent extending your circle of friends will pay off in an unexpected way. You may need to be the one who takes the initiative, however.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st) Don’t miss an important opportunity later in the week. A favourable aspect to Jupiter will make this an especially good time for making money. Romance. You will be able to get on much better with your partner this week. You may be quite surprised when you hear their slant on a recent disagreement.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th) Some changes are coming up, and you will have to keep a clear head to decide on the best course of action. Try to avoid getting into a disagreement with your boss. Romance. Your generous mood will help you to attract a new admirer. Put this person to the test before you take their approaches seriously!

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)

QUOTE OF THE DAY The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing. – Socrates Page 22 Western Cape Bulletin April 18, 2012

SOLUTIONS No. 94

A difficult aspect to Saturn could make you quite negative at times. You may feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel! A chance event later in the week will turn things around faster than you expect. Romance. A dream about your partner will help you to understand your recent behaviour towards them. A long discussion will help to iron out any problems.

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th) Your work will be getting you down at the moment. This is not the best time for a major change, however, and you must be cautious about making a major move which you might regret later. Romance. Don’t change a decision once you have made it. Your partner needs to have some clarity and direction from you at the moment.

The Cowboys played the Roosters in Darwin to promote our game, and the North Queenslanders turned it on with a stella display of attacking footy. Thurston and Bowen had the ball on a string, while Tariq Sims and young gun Jason Taumalolo absolutely caused havoc in the forwards. Melbourne Storm are the benchmark at the moment, but the Broncos are breathing heavily down their neck with some great performances. Round seven was another great round of footy with the Broncos too big, too strong for the Raiders and the Dragons too classy for the Knights on Friday night. Super Saturday saw three great games with the Storm playing in a dead-set arm wrestle with the Bulldogs, but the Storm prevailed with a hard fought win. The Cowboys were simply outstanding and handed out one footballing lesson to the Roosters. The Titans caused the upset of the

round by knocking off the Sea Eagles. On Sunday the Warriors bounced back to form with a big win over the Rabbitohs while the Sharks took a big bite out of the Eels. The Tigers piled on the points against a hapless Panthers team who have failed to score in two consecutive weeks. The Northern Pride and Tweed Heads battled it out at a very wet sporting complex in the Tweed with the Tweed Seagulls just winning 24-22. Coach David Maiden is very confident his team will bounce back in their next game against Sunshine Coast in two weeks time. The Australian test team was selected last night to play the Kiwis on Friday night in New Zealand. Looking at the team I’m very confident we will win convincingly against our Trans Tasman rivals. City and Country were also picked, and all I can say is there are some surprising namings and Queensland are looking good for a seventh series win.

Scotty’s AFL round-up

This week Management rejoiced in the arrival of more things in cardboard boxes and I tried to act enthused about the realization that the boxes contained dining chairs. More dining chairs to add to or replace the ones our family had been dining off quite successfully for the last few years. I pointed out that we had agreed some time ago that we were not planning on having 15 kids, and that perhaps we would have to invite people over every night to ensure that we get our money’s worth out of the new acquisitions. Management assured me that they were in fact desperately needed and remarked with wonder at the “drama” of the shape and angles of the legs with the kitchen table and the contrast with the colour of the floor mat. I retorted that that was nothing compared with the “catastrophe” that engulfed me once I reviewed the invoice and contemplated the stark contrast between the amount charged for freight and the balance of our savings account. Needless to say by the end of

the day it was OUT: old chairs and memories; IN: new chairs and grey hairs; and life goes on. Down at Collingwood this week it seems as though the disease that has inflicted the Demons and Tigers for the last 10 years, (The Couldn’t Organise a Fart in a Curry Eating Contest disease), is spreading throughout the inner suburbs of Melbourne and the Pies are facing a crisis. Injuries abound, a ten-goal loss to the arch enemy, Nick Maxwell is captain, and apparently FIGJAM has lost the connection with some of the players. It is strangely satisfying seeing the Pies in crisis. I should apologize now to the Pies supporters out there for bagging them out but, no, I won’t. Somehow I think the Pies will bounce back by the end of the year. The tipping comp is red hot at the moment with a couple of nines and quite a few people picking 8. Great effort and the comp will be tough all year with this sort of standard set early. Sophie Smith is leading the way on 23 with a couple of 8s in the last two

Viking Wench is an interesting character with interesting ideas on who to tip, it looks like we’ve got a punter with some experience in our midst and definitely one to watch. This week I’ve gone for the Aints over the Shockers at the Telstra Dome, the Moody Blues over the Spitfires at Headquarters, the luke warm Pies over the Electricity Suppliers in the Battle of the Morons at Docklands (a half time moccasin throwing competition is on the agenda), the Croweaters over the Gee We’re S#&t Giants at Football Park on Saturday, the Weagles over the Mayblooms in the match of the round at Subi, The Boys from Brisvegas over the Meter Maids at the GABBA, The Bloods just over the Shinboners in the City of Lights on Sunday, and the Dishlickers over the Red legs in a dreary affair during the witching hour on Sunday evening.

time this year and losing, and seeing them now come up against the Tigers in the first game at home for the year, my head tells me to pick the Tiges in what would be a major upset. My heart tells me that my head is out of whack so I’ll pick the Cats, just as I don’t think they can be off the boil for too long, and the unveiling of the 2011 flag should see them fire up. Looks like Auskick is a goer so watch out for an advertisement with more details, but take it that the next session will be Sunday, April 29 at 9am at Central Oval. Bring the kids, some sun protection and a cold drink and come and have some fun. We’ll get more organised with a bit of support from the guys at AFL Cape York, who are always keen to assist and a great time should be had by all. Dads, what better way to get in the good books with Management than take the kids and wear them out over an hour or so, and then cash in the credit points, kick back on the couch and catch the game later in the afternoon. Cheers for now, happy tipping. Scotty.

Weipa Goodline Cup kicks-off

Sports briefs...

THE 2012 Weipa Goodline Cup kicked-off last weekend with an enthusiastic crowd on Saturday night. There was also a women’s game played between the Weipa and Napranum girls and I’m sure we’ll have a women’s competition starting very soon. Round one saw the Weipa Raiders up against the Natives in a very tough, physical game. Natives were the eventual winners 28-6. Weipa Raiders best players were Trey Kemp, Justin Barba and Walter Gates, while Natives best players were Eli Tabuai, Harry Cook and Dixon Wapau. Natives 28 ( J. Nixon, E. Tabuai, W. Cook, D. Neilleman,

Terri under the weather

W. Adidi tries, and C. Bowen four goals); Raiders 6 ( T. Kemp try and R. McLaughlin one goal). The second game of round one was between Napranum Balas United against Mapoon. This was a very close game with Napranum just winning in the final minutes. Napranum best players were Daniel Bandicootcha , Pat Ropeyarn and Jencol Peter, while Mapoon best players were Les Hall, David Reid and Aide Mamouse . Napranum 24 (A. Port, B. Grogan, J. Peter, P. Ropeyarn, M. Burke tries, and P. Mene two goals ) – Mapoon 18 ( D. Reid, L. Hall, T. Tiplady tries, and D. Reid three goals).

Although the Weipa Raiders put up a good fight they went down to the Natives in round one of the Cup.

All quiet on the squash front

The Natives side were successful in the first round of the Goodline Cup, defeating Weipa Raiders 28-6. Mapoon only just went down to Napranum in the first round of the Goodline Cup.

THERE is no fishing report this week from Weipa Bait & Tackle’s inimitable Terri as he is a little under the weather. Hope you’re feeling better soon mate and back catching the big ones. I guess while you’re out of action the rest of us should hook in and make sure you have plenty to talk about on your return. And don’t forget to email your fishing photos to Terri at weipabaitandtackle@bigpond.com.

Weipa Tennis Association

NOTHING local to report this week as Weipa Squash Club fixtures only commence again on Tuesday (A grade) and Thursday (B grade) nights this week, now that school has resumed. I noticed some enthusiasts playing during the break to keep up their fitness or pre-play their games. A new issue of squash racquets will be arriving any day for those members who missed out on the last shipment, plus our new keys should be available in the near future from the Weipa Sports Association. The major Squash event closest to my heart will be at the Commonwealth Games to be held at the Gold Coast commencing April 4, 2018 (just less than six years to go) so I will be saving the pennies to hopefully have ringside seats at some of these games. Will be back to report the results from this week’s games in next week’s Bully. Yours squashfully Ruth Harris

Australia Week celebrations hosted by the Australian High Commission in PNG. Through support from Rio Tinto and Bougainville Copper Limited, the three young Indigenous Australians travelled to Port Mo-

resby for a cultural tour and to engage with local communities. The three football enthusiasts included Rio Tinto Alcan Weipa’s Ben Masso, along with Wayne Miller, a building services trainer from Ceduna (SA) and Kevin

Taylor, a second-year medical student from Port Hedland (WA). They were selected to represent the Footy Means Business programme internationally as outstanding examples of leaders in employment, education and the

football community. Through the AFL PNG programme the trio were given the opportunity to lead an AFL skills clinic at a local primary school and were greeted by a crowd of eager students. UU continued page 27
