CAPE YORK STAKEHOLDERS UNITE:

“No one speaks for us, but us”

Cape York stakeholders, together with Senate, Federal, State and Local Government representatives gathered at Musgrave Roadhouse last Saturday to discuss possible World Heritage listing for Cape York. Photo: Stretch Noonan. By Giembra Busmer

MORE than 150 Cape York stakeholders gathered at Musgrave last Saturday to discuss the Federal Government’s plan to rush Cape York World Heritage nomination through by February 2012. Residents, graziers, businesspeople, tourism operators, Traditional Owners, and representatives from Senate, Federal, State and Local Government attended the three-hour forum, and comprehensively rejected the Federal Government’s plan to

consult only with Traditional Owners on a possible World Heritage listing. The meeting was chaired by former Cape York Sustainable Futures president, Bob Sullivan who introduced the many speakers who presented information and opinion on both the ramiﬁcations of World Heritage listing and the flawed process of consultation so far. Traditional Owner (Kalinga and Mary Valley) Conrad Yeatman provided a “Welcome to Country”, and stressed the necessity for unity among all Cape York stakeholders.

“I have experienced two examples of dodgy decision making in my lifetime already. Today is important because we need unity in ﬁnding a balance for the future of Cape York. United we stand strong, divided we are weak. “With doubtful decision making, and flawed consultation to lock this country up and not provide the potential to the younger generation will be a very sad story, and the third piece of dodgy decision making I have seen in my time,” Mr Yeatman  continued page 2 said.

World Heritage listing consultation rejected by Cape York stakeholders  from page 1

Guy Chester, a consultant with extensive knowledge of the pluses and minuses of World Heritage listing worldwide, presented information to the forum on the World Heritage Convention and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Operational Guidelines for implementation. Mr Chester also spoke in detail about other World Heritage sites in Australia, and what can and can’t happen in them. He also drew attention to the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities document “A World Heritage Nomination for Cape York Peninsula” (available on line at www.environment.gov.au/ heritage/about/world/capeyork/nomination.html) posted on-line on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 which lists potential areas for nomination (in summary) as: • Diverse ecosystems • Coastal dune fields • Steep escarpments and rainforests • Natural river catchments • Hundreds of kilometres of undisturbed coastal scenery • Flood and marine plains • Western slopes and plains • Shelburne Bay, Cape Bedford, Cape Flattery, tropical dune fields • Chenier dune formations stretch for hundreds of kilometres • Globally rare tropical savannah • West-flowing river systems, extensive coastal wetlands • Tropical monsoon savannah, rainforests, grasslands “As you can see there are natural values in all of these areas, and some would meet the requirements for World

Heritage property, without any capacity for development,” he said. The current consultation process was discussed at length and was declared a “sham” as • Only selective people are being consulted • It is being rushed • It does not present a proposal with the boundaries, the values and management arrangements in place. Representing Cook Shire Council, Deputy Mayor, Penny Johnson said she was “bitterly disappointed” that the Federal Government has not consulted with elected leaders of Cape York.

“Their views as elected representatives, and their positions as elected leaders, along with those of Traditional Owners and custodians, and well-respected community members have been disregarded and diminished,” Ms Johnson said. At the conclusion of the meeting Traditional Owner Andrew Yeatman proposed a motion that the government immediately cease proceedings until it was prepared to engage with the whole of the community. With the exception of one Lakeland grazier, the motion was unanimously approved.  continued page 3

Heritage listing as they have ‘outstanding universal value’ under the natural values criteria,” Mr Chester said. Mr Chester also spoke about a series of questions CYSF had put forward to Federal Environment Minister, Tony Burke regarding World Heritage listing and consultation which had received unsatisfactory answers. “For example, we specifically asked whether Cape York leaseholders (pastoralists) would be consulted and we have not had a response to the question,” he said. Watson River Station pastoralist lease-holder Cameron Quartermaine said he believed pastoralists were being ignored in the consultation process. “We’ve dedicated our lives to working on, and looking after the land and we are being left out of this completely,” Mr Quartermaine said. “We should be entitled to a say too.” Neil Hewett from Cooper Creek Wilderness and Daintree Tourism addressed the forum and spoke about his first-hand experiences living and working in the World Heritage listed Wet Tropics area. “Australia has a very interesting interpretation of World Heritage which is complicated by dishonesty on a multitude of different levels,” Mr Hewett said. “When you look at the demographics of this country, with 85 per cent of the population living in cities, demanding their recreational playgrounds be protected, but in a particular way – they want to visit when it suits them, but they don’t really want to part with any money in the process.” “The people like me, living in the middle of the Daintree rainforest, are expected to cover the cost of managing this World

Request for consultation to cease immediately Preamble: It should be noted that Cape York is not as sparsely populated as it is led to believe, nor should Cape York be the conscience of the rest of Australia. The Cape York Community is deeply concerned that the Commonwealth is going to nominate area(s) of Cape York for World Heritage without engaging with us. The Community understands the Government is selectively consulting with Traditional Owners. The people of Cape York have had enough of a nonrepresentative body undertaking consultation on Cape York. We have no conﬁdence in Balkanu or any of the Pearson organisations running any consultation on our behalf. Motion: The people of Cape York demand that both tiers of government cease the present World Heritage listing consultation process until they formally commit to a more suitable process involving all residents and stakeholders. Further, the people demand ownership over the engagement process and the people demand that in the event of consideration for any declaration, the government provides evidence of the commitment of budget and resources to manage the plan and to ensure economic and social beneﬁts to mitigate long term impacts.

Biodiversity funding opens ENVIRONMENT Minister Tony Burke announced on Monday, November 5, new funding to help protect and manage the unique biodiversity values of northern Australia. Mr Burke said the Northern Australia Targeted Investment, the latest round of the Biodiversity Fund, would help Indigenous communities, farmers, environmental groups and land managers protect the unique biodiversity of northern Australia. The Biodiversity Fund seeks to protect and sustainably manage high value ecosystems in Northern Australia including places which support signiﬁcant natural and indigenous heritage values, for example through projects located in and adjacent to current or potential national and World Heritage areas. “Providing long-term support to land managers leads to enduring results for our environment and for the community,” Mr Burke said. “Across Australia, farmers

Peninsula People’s Forum quotes

“The very recognition of the value that allows for a country like Australia to say ‘this is something so special that it deserves to be protected for the beneﬁt of humankind as a whole’ is a testament to the custodial excellence of the Indigenous occupants in that landscape since time immemorial.” – Neil Hewett, Daintree Tourism (above).

“One of the ﬁrst questions I asked the World Heritage officers was ‘what are the economical development opportunities we have for future generations?’ The response I received was ‘you can do weed management and spraying’. I didn’t put my kids through 16 years of schooling for them to walk around with a spray pack on their back.” – Kalinga and Mary Valley Tradition Owner, Andrew Yeatman (below right) with his father Conrad.

“The people of Cape York want to look forward to an economically diverse future and break away from welfare dependency. “If we take away the constraints, give tenure security to the people in this area and assist them to become financially independent, they won’t need government funding to survive. “But World Heritage will be another spike in the economic cofﬁn of Cape York – we have to say absolutely, unequivocally no.” – Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch (above).

Deadly canisters wash up on beaches Canisters containing deadly chemicals have been found washed ashore in Cairns, and as far north as the Torres Strait Islands. Silver canisters containing Aluminium Phosphide, a chemical used for fumigating shops, has been discovered on beaches between Ayr and Ingham. “We now have confirmation that canisters have been found in Mission Beach, Bingal Bay, Cairns, Archer Point near Cooktown and an island in the Torres Straits,” said Heidi Taylor of marine conservation group Tangaroa Blue. “We would like to let volunteers (and beachgoers) know along the entire Queensland East coast to be aware

that they may find these canisters and not to touch or open them, call the police and stay well clear,” she said. The Queensland Police Service is urging north Queensland beachgoers to avoid handling the canisters washed up on beaches and to immediately call Triple Zero (000) to report them to Queensland Fire Rescue Service.

Safety at Home book launched Rio Tinto Alcan Weipa launched their new Safety at Home book this week to residents through presentations to the students at the Western Cape College. This new book provides families with simple tips for safety at home, and has a handy family reference page at the front to record important medical information and contact details. The presentations included an introduction to the book and its purpose, and also a showing of the second “Come Home Safely” video starring employees and their families. Rio Tinto Alcan Weipa general manager operations JoAnne Scarini said that achieving zero harm and the safety of our employees is one of the core values across site. “We want all our employees to go home safely at the end of each shift, and as a part of our “Come Home Safely” campaign we are supporting our local community through initiatives like this Safety at Home book to ensure this extends to safety in the home,” Ms Scarini said. “We hope families can use this book, and especially the

front reference page, as a communication tool so that all of your important information is kept in a central and handy place in case of an emergency.” A copy of the book was distributed to each family who has a child attending the Western Cape College. Those who would like a copy of the book are encouraged to attend Rio Tinto Alcan Weipa’s final quarterly community forum for the year, where copies will be available and Fire and Rescue officers will be on hand to provide First Aid advice and handy tips straight from the book. Parents who already have a copy of the book can also bring them down on this date. The RTAW final quarterly community forum will be held on Saturday, November 17 and will include free mine tours departing from the Western Cape Cultural Centre, Evans Landing at 9.30am.

Breakthrough for Indigenous town planning For the first time Indigenous councils in Queensland will have local planning schemes to guide the development of their communities. Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jeff Seeney recently announced the first three draft planning schemes for Wujal Wujal, Cherbourg and Kowanyama had been approved for display and public comment. Mr Seeney and Local Government Minister David Crisafulli welcomed the plans. “People living in these areas know what they want and need and this will let them take control of planning decisions for their communities,” Mr Seeney said. “In many communities, isolation during the wet season and lack of access to professional services have triggered the need for a more practical approach to planning. “They will now have a clear, considered, user-friendly framework to guide how they develop their communities.” Planning schemes provide a detailed direction for the area focusing on community aspirations like land use, development, infrastructure and valuable features of the area, whilst ensuring the needs of the state and the regional community are incorporated. Mr Seeney said for the first time the State Government was working with Indigenous communities to ensure development considers local and cultural matters. “In the past there was a lack of consultation between state agencies

WEIPA MYOTHERAPY

leading to haphazard development and conflicting outcomes.” Mr Seeney said the Indigenous council planning schemes were essentially simplified versions of those for bigger councils. “The Wujal Wujal planning scheme was the first to pioneer this process and in many respects has paved the way for other schemes,” he said. “The Kowanyama planning scheme has captured the community’s views and is recognised as the benchmark in the Indigenous council planning schemes to date. “It’s been written for people who aren’t professional planners – something people will want to look at rather than something they have to look at.” Mr Seeney noted the establishment of Indigenous planning schemes was the result of collaboration across a number of government departments. “Department of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs’ involvement was an integral part in the developing these planning schemes and I thank them for their efforts.” Local Government Minister David Crisafulli said much had been made about the Government’s decision to review alcohol management plans but responsible use of alcohol was only one part of the puzzle. “So is home ownership, so is better planning,” Mr Crisafulli said. “In effect we are acknowledging that there will be challenges along the way but failure to empower these indigenous communities will guarantee generations of hopelessness.”

uarding your health...naturally

Milk Thistle the liver cleanser With Christmas and the New Year just around the corner (along with the excesses that this season can cause!), I thought I might share some advice on keeping our bodies healthy during the party season. The liver is the main detoxifying organ in the body, and performs many functions vital to our health - It produces and stores bile (which breaks down fats from the food we eat), cleanses drugs, hormones and toxins, distributes certain nutrients including iron, copper, vitamin D and E, regulates blood glucose and metabolism, removes old blood cells from circulation, and manages cholesterol release. Plus, blood from the digestive system must first filter through the liver before it travels anywhere else in the body. And the list goes on! So it’s fair to say that considering the lifestyle and diets most of us have, perhaps the liver could do with a bit of a break?

Simple ways of supporting the liver can be: starting the day with a glass of hot water and lemon juice, having a fresh fruit and veggie juice instead of store-bought drinks, decreasing sugar, refined foods, caffeine and alcohol (it’s also a great remedy for hang-overs!) Milk thistle is widely used in traditional western herbal medicine as a liver tonic (to correct imbalances) and to support normal liver function. It is also used to treat minor disorders of the digestive tract such as indigestion, and acts as a powerful antioxidant. If you drink alcohol, smoke, over-eat regularly or consume processed foods, take prescription medications, or have recurrent illnesses, taking a liver support supplement is strongly recommended, and could make a huge difference in your everyday wellbeing. Blackmores Milk Thistle provides a hefty 7gms of active herb, without gluten, wheat, or sweeteners, so you can be sure of its effectiveness, purity and safety. Milk thistle also combines

Around one in every seven pregnant women smoke but that figure rises to half for pregnant Indigenous women. The campaign will run for four weeks with television and print ads promoting the benefits of quitting for both the mother and baby, and offering support via a helpline and a smart phone app. Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek says there is a separate ad targeted at Indigenous women and their partners. “The Breaking the chain ads show both Indigenous men and women talking about how they want to be alive to look after their kids, that they want to be strong and healthy and around when their kids grow up,” she said. “Those ads have worked very effectively in Indigenous communities and had good responses from the

people that they’re targeted to.” Ms Plibersek says the campaign promotes the benefits of quitting, rather than the negative impacts of smoking. “If the message is too negative, sometimes people can completely switch off,” she said. The Cancer Council’s Ian Olver has welcomed the tone of the campaign. “The best way of encouraging pregnant women to stop smoking is to support them rather than condemn them,” he said. He says he expects pregnant smokers will respond well to the gentler message. “You do find every so often there’s a group that really don’t respond and I think the Government have been clever in doing the proper testing and discovering the best way of encouraging pregnant women to stop smoking,” he said. The campaign comes as plain packaged cigarettes hit store shelves from next month.

Western Cape Indigenous rangers lead the way in protecting shorebirds

Mapoon Land & Sea Rangers out in the field with Birdlife Australia.

Every year, thousands of migratory shorebirds stop over on the Western Cape on their 10,000 km journey from Arctic breeding areas to non-breeding grounds in Southern Australia and New Zealand. A further three shorebird species find an important breeding refuge on our beaches, including the globally red-listed Beach Stone Curlew. Whether they are migratory or

resident species, most of us would not even notice these little miracles of endurance and ingenuity during our trips to the beach. Their small size and near-perfect camouflage makes them hard to spot and tricky to identify. It may also be the main reason why we find it hard to give them the space they need to rest or breed on Australian beaches. Enter the Mapoon and Napranum

Land & Sea Rangers. With the help of BirdLife Australia and the North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance Limited (NAILSMA) the rangers successfully completed training in shorebird identification, conservation and data collection early in October. The rangers are using cuttinged g e tech n o lo g y to cap tu r e information and GPS locations for

shorebirds and other important species by participating in I-Tracker, a project run through NAILSMA which supports Indigenous land and sea managers across north Australia to collect information locally about their land and sea country. This training means the Rangers can join the global survey and conservation effort for migratory shorebirds, and helps them to inform visitors about sensitive beach areas and responsi-

ble behaviour on Sea Country. You can help shorebirds by following this simple rule: when on the beach let big flocks of birds rest and recover from their journey to the Cape, and avoid driving above the high tide mark. For further information contact Napranum Land & Sea Rangers (4069 7138) or Jane Blackwood, Mapoon Land & Sea co-ordinator (4090 9054).

O n We d n e s d a y, October 24, students and staff of the Positive Pathways to Success Program (PPTS) and volunteer chefs, J B a n d L i n d s a y, hosted a barbecue for community, families and Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) visitors, Jenni Champion and Stephen McCarthy. Jenni and Stephen spoke about the employment and learning opportunities in agriculture and tourism offered by the ILC. Of particular interest to the boys was the pathway to employment via training in the Certificate ll Agriculture Beef, on ILC-owned

cattle properties in the Cape, and the prospect of employment on properties in other Australian states. Damien John, who has lodged an application to become a trainee at Crocodile Station near Lakeland, spoke with both Jenni and Stephen about his work experience at Springvale Sation, and his keen interest to pursue this career path. When asked why he was so keen Damien replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;my grandather and uncles worked on stationsâ&#x20AC;?. Many of the boys attending the PPTS Program have family connections to the pastoral industry in the Cape.

Walking in the footsteps of their grandfathers, and creating their own stories for the future, is a tradition they are keen to continue. Jenni spoke to the girls about opportunities for employment at Voyages Ayers Rock Resort, an ILC training and employment facility. Rondell Mark and A n i t a Wo o d l e y a r e close to completing their Certificate lll in Business, and both were keen to hear about jobs that offered the prospect of travel. Family members who attended were impressed with the range of tranining and employment pathways available for their children.

No joy for Rocky Point residents

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

I mentioned a few weeks ago that the Weipa Town Authority (WTA) acknowledged the receipt of a community petition supporting the installation of kerb and channelling in the courts of eastern Rocky Point. A total of seven hundred and nineteen (719) people signed the petition, with widespread support from across, and even outside (7%) the community. No doubt the information provided to a small ‘action group’ from Rocky Point at a meeting with WTA and RTA earlier last week has been communicated by them more broadly. I can now confirm that RTA have prioritised its allocated capital funding for 2013 to the town’s water upgrade, underpinning the development approval for Golf Links Stage 2. RTA Capital funding to the WTA for the kerb and channelling project will not be available until 2014 at the earliest. The project still remains a critical priority for WTA.

Come in and see us

The water upgrade, once completed, will improve water pressure and hydrant flow compliance right throughout the town by late 2013, at no cost to the rate payer. The petition has posed a number of questions for the WTA and we have undertaken serious analysis of the data. Given the massive costs of the project (in the order of $9-13 million dependent on mobilisation and rollout schedules) there is an apparent need to both identify and then address the short, and long-term needs of all residents in the eastern areas of Rocky Point, as only 55% supported the petition. If not funded by RTA the WTA will need to roll-out the project through ratepayer funded initiatives. No doubt the signatories to the petition understood the potential impacts on all ratepayers when they signed. As would be the case for mainstream Councils, projects of this significance are rolled-out in one of three ways: through external funding including loans, increases to revenue base

As the days are getting hotter and the wet season still a way off, we experience a dry heat which can lead to dehydration if you do not supply your body with sufficient fluid intake. When I talk fluid intake it is important you understand that I am talking about water intake, as some drinks will dehydrate you further. Alcoholic beverages at night, coffee in the morning, soft drinks, some teas and even some sports drinks may contribute to dehydration. If your drinks contain a lot of sugar, caffeine or alcohol they act as diuretics. That means that your body will eliminate more fluid than it is taking in as the sugar or caffeine can extract the sugar from the cells. For example - 200ml of beer will cause your body to eliminate 300ml. That will certainly dehydrate you if you choose not to drink any water in between your alcoholic beverages. And what about sports drinks? A good balanced sports drink should supply your body with lost nutrients in a fast and effective way, so that the cells can communicate and work the way they were intended to. It is a chemical process which requires calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, along with the right combination of carbohydrates. Some of the sports and energy drinks you can buy do not supply this, despite the claims that they make. So be aware of

or re-evaluation of current service levels. The mathematics are simple, a Council cannot fund projects it has no ability to fund. In the past two years, aside from the latest electrical upgrades, the rate payers have expended over half a million dollars in roads and drainage works in the Rocky Point area; appreciably more than any other area in town. These works have resulted in both compliments and ‘brick bats’ from the residents being directed our way, sending us significant mixed messages. The WTA needs to address the concerns of all the residents in these courts, there is no doubt. The petition started a process for us to collect more specific data. For instance the data collected from the WTA complaints register since 2008 depicts a completely different perspective of the issues. We would appreciate assistance from the residents through this next brief period of data collection. Again I must point out that the massive costs associated with the project demand our considered response, with the potential impacts to ratepayers foremost in the minds of the WTA Members.

putting your well-being in the hands of a marketing strategist. Although salt is needed to replenish the sweating worker you will be surprised to hear that salt is also a diuretic. If you eat extreme salty foods, like chips or processed foods with lots of “flavour”, your kidneys will have to work harder to excrete the excess salt from the body to keep a natural balance by excreting more fluids to transport the salt out. In a nutshell, water is your best choice when hydrating. You should get enough nutrients through healthy food choices so there should be no need to supplement with salty, sugary or electrolyte enriched drinks. Make sure that you drink three to five litres of water when working outside and sweating a lot. If you experience cramps in your muscles or feel fatigued make sure you take some rest. If the cramps are persistent over a longer period of time it may be beneficial to look at supplementing with magnesium, as it is proven to help relieve muscular cramping. However, do not waste your money with some cheap magnesium pills as your body needs certain nutrients along with magnesium to absorb it – if you do you will find yourself having only expensive urine. Talk to a nutritionist or naturopath about the best food sources of magnesium, and if you decide to supplement with it make sure you choose a supplement that your naturopath or chemist recommends. Other great ideas to hydrate are fresh coconut water, water with freshly squeezed lemon or orange juice. Don’t let the heat get you down and turn your cells from a healthy grape into a prune - keep hydrated.

Young people from opposite ends of the country connect and achieve Six young people from Mapoon and Napranum have just returned from the cold climes of Tasmania where they have continued the relationship started 3 years ago with Scotch Oakburn College, a Uniting Church school in Launceston. Youthworker James Hughes accompanied the young Cape York representatives... DURING the time the Cape York young people spent in Tasmania they played in snow on Mt Wellington, flew across 400 metres of flying fox cable, swam in the ocean in 10 degrees Celcius water, walked around Dove Lake at the foot of Cradle Mountain and braved the Mersey River rapids in white water rafts. Aged between 13 and 23 years, these young Cape representatives were not only engaged in the exciting action activities listed above, but also more esoteric pursuits such as joining in the school chapel services, and speaking eloquently about themselves and their culture in front of 700 young people and teachers. It was great to re-connect with friends from the school made earlier and also make new friends as young people from both the north of Australia and the south found much in common with each other. The young people from up north also spoke to Tasmanian Traditional Owners, who welcomed them, and they listened as they were shown aspects of Aboriginal culture by the custodians of the ancient culture of Tasmania. One of the skills they were taught was how to make rope by twisting and weaving the leaves from a certain bush plant. Everyone was surprised by how strong the rope that was created was, and how useful it had become. The Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre gave the young people permission to camp at Larapuna, near the beautiful ‘Bay of Fires’ beach on the north-east coast of the island. Throughout this trip the stories of Indigenous young people from Cape York were woven together with the stories of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania to make strong bonds of friendship. There were quite a few moments during the trip to Tasmania where the young people were forced to confront their fears and overcome

their shame through the nature of the activity. However, they had the support of trained guides and also their friends, who also were facing the same thing. Commenting on the young Cape Yorker’s experiences James Hughes said: “This is the beauty of these activities – they take the kids outside their comfort zone and there is no going back, or stopping and not going any further. It is impossible. “So the young people find that they can achieve far more than they imagined through finding inner strength and resolve and completing the activity. “And then what a sense of ac-

New local business to assist employers A NEW business in the region has good news for local job seekers and for local businesses. The Australian Federal Government has recently contracted MEGT (Australia) Ltd to set up a new office in Weipa in order to help employers with their apprentices and trainees. Jan Griffin, general manager of MEGT Australian Apprenticeships Centre says it is part of her strategy to ensure the Weipa office, located in Memorial Square, is staffed by Rikki Cooper who has a detailed knowledge of the local industry conditions as well as all the benefits (both State and Federal) that local businesses can tap into when they employ their apprentices or trainees. This includes government money for increasing the skills of their current staff. “We provide a free service,” explains Ms Griffin. “The Federal Government has contracted us to assess the eligibility of businesses

for government funding, to promote apprenticeships and traineeships in the region and to make it as easy as possible for businesses to employ and train staff through an apprenticeship or traineeship arrangement. “It’s also an important part of my strategy to ensure the new office is supported by a considerable infrastructure. This ensures the information they receive about government benefits and local training providers is always up to date and ensures benefits are processed promptly.” Mrs Cooper’s support infrastructure includes the 900 other Australian Apprenticeships Centre staff, providing the administration side of processing the paperwork and the significant IT, marketing, HR and administration MEGT provides. This support structure allows Mrs Cooper to visit businesses and their apprentices and trainees at their worksite. This is essential in the Weipa region because of the long distances between

businesses. “The training support our new staff receive is important in terms of the quality of service they provide the region. We act as consultants on a wide range of industry career development options and businesses use us for bipartisan workforce planning advice,” continued Ms Grifﬁn.

“It’s important that we get it right as it will affect the futures not only of the businesses we consult to, but also of the wealth of the community.” The MEGT Weipa office is located at shop 1, Memorial Square, Weipa and Rikki Cooper can be contacted on 0409 885 288.

the local aged care, child care or enrolled nurses sectors and importantly, the school-based trainees that are being given a head start to their career with the help of the Western Cape College and local employers,” she said. Mrs Cooper explained that there is a slight change to funding to help people over 25 years of age change careers and skills through an apprenticeship with the eligible employer receiving a lump sum amount of $4,000 at the end of the first year of the apprenticeship. “That will definitely make it a lot easier for small and mediumsized businesses to track when they are going to receive that funding.” Another change is a reduction in one of the government incentives for existing workers who recommence in an Australian Apprenticeship that does not lead to an occupation on the National Skills Needs List (at the Certificate III or IV level). The good news for small and medium-sized builders, plumbers and electricians (industries on the National Skills Needs list) is that a Kickstart Bonus payment will come into effect if their apprentice commences between December 1, 2012 and February 28, 2013. According to Mrs Cooper this Kickstart Bonus will effectively increase the incentive paid to them from $4,000 to $7,350. “I’m expecting a lot of phone calls from now and over the next few weeks to help explain what

impact these changes will have on local businesses,’ continued Mrs Cooper. “There will be a lot of tradespeople who will want to take advantage of the additional funding in the Kickstart Bonus, and it’s a sensible time to put someone on as an apprentice – when we are going into a slower building and construction period. “It means they can take time with school leavers to settle them into their business and spend more time training them before the big rush of work starts again early next year. “The Western Cape College will need to identify those students interested in going into a trade while they are still in year 10, not just the school leavers after they ﬁnish their exams. The very best students will be targeted by local businesses wanting to take advantage of the Kickstart Bonus,” Mrs Cooper said. “It’s just as well we started our 13 MEGT backup service of a 24-hour hotline last week!”

Funding reforms affect local businesses and school leavers ON October 19 the Federal Government announced reforms to Australian Government financial incentives in order to better target incentives to employers, and put a greater emphasis on full-time jobs in skills that the economy urgently needs. “There are five reforms,” explained Rikki Cooper from the Weipa MEGT Australian Apprenticeships Centre. “The first one to take effect is that from October 23, 2012, except for three sectors, Diploma and Advanced Diploma Australian Apprenticeships will no longer be eligible to attract certain employer incentives. “The three sectors not affected are in aged care, child care and enrolled nurses.” Mrs Cooper explained that from October 23, there will also be reductions in the amount of employer ﬁnancial incentives for part-time Certiﬁcate III and IV Australian Apprenticeships. “There will still be a payment made – but it will be $1,500 and paid upon completion. This change will mainly affect our local retail businesses that employ part-time staff under a traineeship, but there may be other businesses in the region that will also be affected.” “There are exceptions to this however, and they are for industries that are on the National Skills Needs List (at right), such as building and construction,

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Remembrance Day Sunday, November 11, 2012 What is the significance of Remembrance Day? Remembrance Day, celebrated on November 11 every year, is one of Australia’s most important national commemorations. The day marks the anniversary of the armistice, on November 11, 1918, which led to the end of World War I, the Great War. The day was originally referred to as Armistice Day. What happens on Remembrance Day? On Remembrance Day, one minute’s silence is observed by allied nations at the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month in honour of those who have died or been wounded in duty since World War I. The original idea of five minutes’ silence was mooted by Melbourne journalist and World War I veteran Edward George Honey. He suggested this act of public commemoration in a letter published in London’s Evening Standard in 1919. South African Percy

Patrick suggested two minutes silence. At the end of World War II, the Australian and British governments extended the commemoration to those who have served and suffered in all military conflicts, renaming Armistice Day, Remembrance Day. Since 1997, one minute’s silence has been observed for all injured and fallen soldiers. What is the difference between Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day? While both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day have similar aims today, their origins were very different: Remembrance Day, marks the anniversary of armistice between the Germans and the allied forces, on November 11, 1918, which led to the end of World War I. The nation is asked to pause for one minute to commemorate and pay respect to those who have served and suffered for Australia’s cause in all military conflicts since World War I. Allied

nations also pay their respects for their respective country through a minute’s silence on Remembrance Day. ANZAC Day commemorates the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in Gallipoli, in 1915, during World War I. The date, April 25, was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916. Every year commemorative services are held, during which Australians and New Zealanders pay their respects to and acknowledge those who have served and died for our respective countries in war, conflicts and peace operations. What is the significance of the red poppy? The Flanders poppy, the emblem of Remembrance Day, was among the first plants to bloom on the ravaged battlefields of northern France and Belgium during World War I. It gained its symbolic resonance through Colonel John McCrae’s poignant poem In Flanders Fields (1915). In response to McCrae’s

Cablegram notifying the Australian Governor General of the signing of the Armistice with Germany in November, 1918. The text reads: “Governor General Melbourne Most urgent armistice signed 5 AM this morning Long”.

poem, Moina Michael from the American YMCA wrote We Shall Keep the Faith (1918), imploring people to wear a poppy in memory of those who served on the battlefields. The French YMCA sug-

gested selling Armistice Day poppies to raise funds for the benefit of war widows, orphans and veterans in need in 1918 – a tradition that continues to this day. Originally, these silk poppies were made by World War

I orphans in the devastated regions of France. The poppies were first brought from France and sold in Australia in 1921. The poppies are now made locally by RSL members, and proceeds continue to support veteran’s welfare.

Wireless signal sent by 2nd Australian Division regarding the ceasefire 1918. Text reads: “Message from General Foch to Commander in Chief BEF reads Hostilities will cease on the whole front on the 11th November French Time 11 Oclock AAA. The Allied troops will not cross until further orders the line reached on that date at that time AAA. Signed Foch 6.35 am”.

REMEMBRANCE DAY Sunday, November 11, 2012

Remembrance Day commemorates the suspension of hostilities and the initiation of peace talks by countries that participated in the First World War. Since that day Australians observe that significant event each year with “two minutes silence” in remembrance of those who fought and died in wars in which Australian has been involved.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Australia’s first commemorative $2 coin honours the fallen In the lead-up to Remembrance Day, it is only fitting that Australia’s first ever $2 commemorative circulating coin features the poppy flower, a symbol synonymous with this important day of reflection. To further honour the sacrifice of all Australians involved in war and armed conflict, the Royal Australian Mint wanted the first ever $2 commemorative coin to count for something more and has also produced a special colour printed version of the $2 coin with a red poppy to be distributed through the national RSL Red Poppy Appeal. Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, the Hon Bernie Ripoll MP, acknowledged the significance of this day and the partnership with the Royal Australian Mint and RSL. “Remembrance Day is a time when Australia stops and remembers the courageous men and women that made sacrifices for their country, and this coin will carry on that message, a special reminder for when people receive this coin in their change,” Mr Ripoll said.

“As we know red poppies are sold around the country in the leadup to Remembrance Day through the RSL Red Poppy Appeal and this year it seemed only fitting that a special version of the $2 coin be a part of that national appeal.” The coloured coin, of which there will be half a million, will be circulated nationally through the RSL Red Poppy Appeal. The non-coloured poppy coin, to be produced in a minimum run of five million, will be distributed through the normal channels via banks and retail outlets over the coming months. Mr Ripoll said this was an historical moment in Australia’s coining history. “The $2 coin has had the same design on it since it was introduced back in 1988 and the Royal Australian Mint has chosen a simple yet effective design to carry the message of Remembrance Day,” Mr Ripoll said. “This coin highlights the world class innovation and skill of the Royal Australian Mint and the entire team there is to be congratulated for the quality of the finished product.”

B Coy prepares Members of B Coy 51FNQR spent last weekend preparing their boats and vehicles for the cyclone season (pictured at right). When the Army is called out to aid the civil community it is referred to as DACC (Defence Aid Civil Community). Training was also conducted in readiness for Remembrance Day as the soldiers of B Coy will be providing a catafalque party for the Remembrance Day Service at the War Memorial at Rocky Point.

Both coins feature a poppy design surrounded by the words ‘Lest we forget’ and ‘Remembrance Day’ in repetitive micro-lettering. Royal Australian Mint Chief Executive Officer Mr Ross MacDiarmid said this release is one that the Royal Australian Mint team have been working very hard towards and will not go unnoticed around the world.

“Only one other country, Canada, has released coloured coins into circulation and the fact that we have added micro-lettering into the design showcases our world class innovative capabilities,” Mr MacDiarmid said. A collectible coin product is also available for $12.95 from the Royal Australian Mint. For more information visit www.ramint.gov.

Each year the Cancer Council calls on Queensland women to get the girls together in the month of October for a Girls’ Night In. The idea behind the Girls Night In is to simply spend a night in with the girls and donate what you would have spent on a night out to help Cancer Council beat women’s cancers. Whether it’s a DVD marathon, a casual dinner party, a pamper evening, a book club, a movie or games night or even just inviting the girls over for a catch up, simply do what you enjoy in support of those you love most. Girls Night In events raise money to fund women’s cancer research, prevention and education programs and support services. Every dollar donated in support of Girls’ Night In helps Cancer Council to support the one in two Queensland women who will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. This year I had decided on getting a couple of girlfriends together and that I would host a small Girls Night In. From what started as a small get together, the event grew and grew with 32 women attending and a huge $1240 raised. The night was filled with lots of laughs, many raffles and we finished

Intergalactic battle looms in squash finals Semi-finals were played at Weipa Squash Club last week and in an epic battle, Luke Skywalker grasped victory from the lightsabre of Darth Vader. Han Solo proved to be too fast in his Millennium Falcon and out-paced the skills of the old Jedi, Obi Wan Kenobi. In a nutshell, Darth Vader are out and Han Solo are straight through to the grand final. Team Han Solo began their onslaught of Team Obi-Wan Kenobi when A5 Joe Buckley licked Otis Drum (as sub for Ben Braun) (3-0). A4 Wendy Long put up a brave fight against Cole Dalton but to no avail (0-3). A3 Jarrod Stockman (as sub for Glen Egan) on the other hand put up a shield and only let Steve Lugsdin penetrate in the last “long” game (3-0). A2 Nick Brookes defeated Tom Murray by only one point in this five game marathon, despite Nick taking the first “long” game, then they alternated victory (3-2). A1 Grant Foster won the

first two games against Rod Wawryzniak, but Rod picked up the pace and took the next three (2-3). Team Darth Vader went down to Team Luke Skywalker, beginning with A5 Jimmy Baira being defeated by Adam Blocksidge (who subbed for Michael Cridland) (0-3). A4 Jay Murray was on fire against Justin Hyytinen albeit that Justin upped the anti and forced the second game to “long”. A3 Jay Dumbleton lasted the distance but could not get the points against Shane Spagnol after the first “long” game. A2 Rod Bielby suffered defeat at the hands of Ross Hyytinnen in three games (0-3) A 1 Dave Edward narrowly defeated Luke Dorsett (by five points!) but alas for Team Darth Vader, it was too late (3-2). B grade had their own epic battle when Princess Leia managed to defeat the Jedi Master Yoda (was it her diplomacy or his wisdom, knowing he still has a chance to duel his way back into the final?).

Meanwhile, the mighty Chewbacca must have used superior agility (or shaved in preparation for Movember, or was it Jabba’s lack of agility?), which sees Jabba the Hutt roll out of the competition, and Princess Leia go straight to the top. Nevertheless, Team Princess Leia did it with style, when B6 Lucy Boxall drew the competitiveness out of Jess Hall which saw her actually surpass Lucy’s points but not games (3-2). B5 Renee Williams looks like she won easily against Cicely Baira, but scores can be deceiving as Cicely is a formidable opponent (3-0). B4 Tim Manning played well to defeat Andrew Glenn in three games as Andrew was warming up in the third, forcing it to long (3-0). Nicole Dearling (as sub for B2 Josh Donnelly after winning her own game on forfeit) only lost by four points against Kerry Scales in a five-game marathon which would have been great to watch (2-3). B1 Chris Bienvenu played a hard four-game match

against Otis Drum, only going down four points (1-3). Team Chewbacca easily defeated Team Jabba the Hut, on what must have been a bad night for the latter team, when B6 Ruth Harris defeated Brandon Waretini (who just quietly I do not believe gave it his all) (3-0). B5 Dean Eastgauffe defeated Kristie Moran in what would have been an excellent match to watch (3-1), and B4 Ben Ghee played as best he could against a tougher opponent Ian Newsome (0-3). B3 Melissa Ghee however met with much resistance in the second and third games, but powered on to take the match (3-1), and Emma Thomas (as sub for B2 Tom Bellinger) certainly showed no mercy against Patrick Lightart (3-0). As I am pre-playing my game Tuesday afternoon, I am looking forward to being able to attend to photographing the rest of my team kicking Team Yoda’s short ass! Yours squashfully, Ruth Harris

Cowboys to play Dragons in Cairns

The Toyota Cowboys will play both of their major pre-season NRL trials for 2013 in North Queensland after last week announcing a return to Cairns for a clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons. The match at Barlow Park on Saturday night, February 16 will be the second of three hitouts for the Cowboys prior to the start of the Telstra Premiership. North Queensland has also confirmed it will play the Gold Coast Titans on Saturday night, February 23 at Virgin Australia Stadium in Mackay, while a venue for their opening trial, on the same weekend of the NRL All Stars Game at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, has yet to be locked in. The Cowboys will go into camp in Cairns for three days prior to the Dragons trial and will undertake a number of community visits during their stay. General manager – football Peter Parr and NRL squad members Ashley Graham and Glenn Hall were in Cairns last week to announce details of the Cowboys’ involvement in the match to be staged in conjunction with the Northern Pride and Cairns District Rugby League. “Since our inception, the Cairns region has always been a Cowboys stronghold,” Parr said. “It has some of our most passionate North Queensland members and supporters so we’re very happy that we’re able to bring our NRL squad back to the city in February. “This will be our 10th visit to Cairns in 11 years for a pre-season game to go along with the junior rugby league and community work we undertake in the region each year. “With the Dragons being one of the NRL’s iconic brands and most popular clubs, I’m sure we’ll get a full house at Barlow Park and it will be a night for local league fans to remember.” The Pride’s Intrust Super Cup team, under new coach Jason Demetriou, will also play a match on the February 16 program against the Cowboys’ Toyota Cup team.

Junior golfers tee-off in second round of club championships A WARM Sunday morning saw the Carpentaria Golf Club juniors tee-off for their second round of the championships. It was a tough one for some this week and the winners will be announced next Sunday at the pool when we have our presentation. This Sunday will be the parents verses kids match, with tee-off at 8am (we have to beat them this year), followed by our presentation at the Weipa swimming pool from 3pm to 6pm with a barbecue. Cost is $10 for adults or extras and the junior golfers eat free. On behalf of all the juniors we

would like to say a big thank you to Duane and Mary Singleton for all their hard work with the juniors over the years. In 2013 we will need new junior co-ordinators to run the new season and any parents interested in taking on this role should see Duane or Mary. Thank you also to all the parents who come down and support their children’s game every Sunday and help run the juniors. So don’t forget your hats, sunscreen, water bottles and parents and see you on the tee.

– Lisa Francisco

bottom fish, only bait. Ryan Phillip, trolling a Gold Laser Pro up off Duyfken landed a huge 1440cm Spanish Mackerel. This was the biggest Mackerel they got, along with some good Tuskies caught on Squid. If you put the time in you will get a feed. In the rivers the fishing hasn’t improved from last week and some anglers are finding fish, while others missing out. The Mission River bridge has still been giving up a few fish, mainly Queenfish and some small Bream. Red Beach has had some Grunter, Queenfish and the odd Salmon. The tides play a big part on how the fish bite, and the tides last weekend weren’t the greatest. A lot of anglers are waiting for the Grunter to turn up in big numbers. Evans Landing has slowed down a bit but is still worth a throw for Grunter, Trevally and the ever-present Queenfish. Further down south the Archer River has some nice Sooties for the taking, and even Stretch (with the help of Scoop The Newshound) managed to get amongst them while he and Gee were on holidays. Until next week, slight breezes, smooth seas and tight lines. – Cheers, China

THIS SUNDAY

Well, this week’s report may give you a feeling of deja vu, but the current weather would drive a man to drink. The wind just won’t stop, but when it does fishing can be good as some readers have been getting some great fish. I got to have a fish with Darren Lee, chasing Billfish, last Saturday and the bait even proved to be hard to catch, and what normally takes 10 minutes ended up taking over half an hour, and even then it was the bare minimum we needed. Heading out we were looking for tell-tale signs of hovering birds that are looking for bait fish driven to the surface by the predatory fish feeding on them, but today they were very few and far between them. While we were looking, Weipa Billfish club member Bill, fishing aboard his 6.8 metre Haines, hooked-up and landed a 200-pound Black Marlin on the Nine Mile. We unfortunately searched all day to find one small bait ball and caught two small Mack Tuna, and then they were gone. We only had one small Sailfish and a couple of baits taken by some large Barracudas. The leads had plenty of showings of fish on the sounder but we weren’t after

Alf Wilson story

Cape York Crusaders finished a fantastic third at the Queensland under 17 youth girls Australian Rules championships held in Cairns. Six teams contested the championships held at Watson’s Oval from October 26 to 28. The Crusaders team consisted of players from around Cape York and was selected from the recent Chris Johnson Cup in Bamaga. The youngest member of the team was 14-year-old Teannu Fujii. Brisbane Flames went through five rounds undefeated to win the championships with 20 points, followed by Southern

Stars on 16, Crusaders 12, Suncoast Storm 4, Central Coast Cobras 4 and North Queensland Lions. In round one, the Qantaslink-sponsored Crusaders 2-7-19 narrowly defeated North Queensland Lions, a team made up of Cairns and Townsville players, 2-5-17. Vera Gibuma and Andrina Lui booted the goals for Crusaders whose best players were Vera, Latoya Billy and Lititia Tabua. Elisha King and Rachel Broad kicked the goals for the Lions and best players were Elisha, Rachel and Luana Healy. Crusaders scored a hand-

some win in round two beating Central Coast Cobras 5-7-37 to 2-1-13. Best players for Crusaders were Kathy Loban, Vera Gibuma and Renea Guligo. Brisbane Flames were too good for the Crusaders winning 10-4-64 to 1-0-6 in round three. Best Crusaders were Latoya Billy, Kathy Loban and Tanya Jobi whilst the goalkicker was Moesha Soki. Round four saw Crusaders 5-0-30 defeat Suncoast Storm 0-0-3. Goals were shared between Gwen Dau, Renae Guligo and Zita Mueller. Their last game was in round five and Crusaders lost by three

points to Southern Stars 2-3-15 to 2-0-12. Crusaders best were Renea Guligo, Latoya Billy and Shandel Sam. The Crusaders girls impressed everybody with their sportsmanship and high quality football. The girls off-field singing and dancing also kept the atmosphere up at Watson’s Oval, culminating in a six team dance-off in the middle of the field following the final siren of the final game. Career development was as much a part of their visit to Cairns as was AFL and the Crusaders players met tourism operators and businesses between games to further their job prospects.
