MELVILLE CITY
HERALD
by CARMELO AMALFIPLANS to more than double the compulsory fi re levy for Banjup property owners are being challenged by Cockburn city council.
Following bushfi res in Banjup and Atwell in February, the WA fi re and emergency services department says it now plans to reclassify parts of Banjup from level three to level one.
A three-hectare level three property pays a $160 a year levy. If the changes go through it rises to $330.
The DFES has also advised property owners it wants more land cleared for wider buff er zones.
Cockburn council—which must collect the levy on behalf of the government—has voted to ask the department to justify the higher charge and to seek advice from WA parks and wildlife on the proposed 5m clearance buff er around buildings.
“There is no improvement in services from the DFES,” the council report bluntly states.
“There is inadequate water reticulation to assist the fi re brigade and the volunteer bushfi re brigade would need to be called and should be called in the fi rst instance as they are resourced to address such areas.”
The report says residents are paying a higher emergency services levy, “without receiving a premium service”.
“The council believes this anomaly should be corrected at the earliest time possible and ensure the owners are charged the appropriate levies.”
Council staff also question the wisdom of clearing native vegetation to create wider buff ers.
“The extra clearing of land around other buildings is contrary to the lifestyle choice of owners wishing to live in harmony with the fl ora and fauna of special resource areas.”
by JENNY DʼANGERWHEN school is out getting the average teenager out of bed before 10am can be nigh on impossible.
But Fremantle’s new skate park has them
getting their skates on—literally. And not just from
Freo.“We’re down here every day
at six o’clock,” says Hunter, 15, from Cottesloe. “[It’s] good to beat the crowds,” Mosman Park mate Bayley agrees.
Since the Esplanade park’s packed-out opening last weekend kids have been voting with their wheels and, with school holidays kicking off , the place is heaving.
“Sponsored skaters are coming down as well,” Lachlan, 15, says. Freo teen Ocean, 17, is so keen she’s tackling the “bowl” every day by 5am. She’s seen kids as young as three giving gentler slopes a go, and has talked to kids from as far as Clarkson who travel by train for more than an hour to get here. “This is exactly what the youth of Fremantle needed,” she says. “It’s good for all diff erent skills and styles.”
When the Herald dropped by the atmosphere was electric and the adrenal-rush palpable as kids tried out their moves, some as young as fi ve or six.

by CLARE KENYON MORE than 3500 people have signed petitions opposing a unit development that’s been approved for 93 Kitchener Road in Alfred Cove (Herald, April 5, 2014).
Bateman Liberal MP Matt Taylor and Labor MLC Sue Ellery presented the Striker Balance Action group petitions to state parliament last week.
Mr Taylor, who’s expressed concern with the way the development was handled by the joint development assessment panel, described the tally—gathered in just a few weeks—as “impressive”, comparing it to the relatively paltry 305 who’d petitioned against Cockburn’s

amalgamation: “Does the minister agree with me, the City of Melville and more than 3670 petitioners that this current proposal should never have been approved?” Mr Taylor asked WA planning minister John Day in parliament.
“I am certain the members of
JDAP and [state administrative tribunal] would not accept this proposal if it was next door to their R20 family home.”
The project, to redevelop the old Striker Pavilion site, is far above Melville council’s density guidelines for the area.
The council and local community vehemently opposed it but the JDAP—one of the panels established by premier Colin Barnett to bypass elected councils—approved it, stating there was discretion under the planning scheme to do so.
Two Melville councillors sit on the fi ve-member panel: Cr Mark Reynolds opposed it but Cr Nicole Foxton voted for it.

The council sponsored Skate Boarding Australia to run free clinics over the school holidays.
Meanwhile, UWA has debunked criticism by some that the skate park will become a hangout for hoodlums.
In a report released Monday, bo ns found that skate parks promote “good behaviour”.

by STEVE GRANTLABOR’S Fremantle branch has put head o ce on notice it wants preselections overhauled following the party’s Senate mauling two weeks ago.
Labor recorded its worst primary vote in more than a century—just under 22 per cent—and many are pointing the fi nger at backroom deals stitched together by powerful union bosses.
Rel ishing i ts new-found status as WA’s biggest branch, Fremantle last week passed a motion demanding party members have absolute say over who gets preselected for the Senate. It has also told Labor’s WA executive to roll out options for lower house preselection reform and wants to hear WA leader Mark McGowan’s views before the next meeting of the party’s rules committee.
Fremant le MLA S imone McGurk—whose preselection in 2012 was a result of one of those union deals—says the branch wants options because members realise that simply giving themselves the vote won’t fi x all the problems: “In fact, in NSW they have [direct preselections] for their lower house, and look what happened there.”
Anti-corruption hearings in NSW have unearthed a litany of stinky deals linked to preselection rorts and branch stacking. This
SIMONE McGURK says John Curtin college of the arts should lower its specialist intake to make room for more local students.
“Having a 90 to 95 per cent specialist intake has caused a distortion that has to be addressed, and I know we didn’t take this to the last election but I believe that has to come down,” she told the Herald.
She ’s annoyed the WA education department didn’t include this option in a survey it released last week which canvases parents’ views about education options in the southern suburbs (Herald, April 12, 2014).
“People are concerned it took any changes to John Curtin off
week the NSW branch announced that all Balmain voters—not just Labor party members—will get the chance to vote in a preselection, similar to a US-style primary. However, NSW secretary Jamie Clements rejected party elder John Faulkner’s call to break union bosses’ grip on state upper house and Senate preselections.
“Our present system rewards intrigue, trading favours and doing deals,” warned Senator Faulkner, a long-time advocate of enhanced party democracy.
Ms McGurk told the Herald there seemed to be a genuine “appetite for more local input”: however, powerbrokers in Labor head o ce ignored similar grassroots reform demands which emerged from
Labor’s unexpected loss to Colin Barnett in 2008.
The former Unions WA boss revealed she’d had misgivings about Labor’s number one senate candidate, Joe Bullock, despite her own preselection for Fremantle being part of the internal deal that gave him top spot on the ticket. That deal relegated her Left faction ally, Senator Louise Pratt, to number two and because of Labor’s dismal vote she’s lost her seat.
Mr Bullock, the powerful ‘shoppies’ union boss, is copping heat because a homophobic rant, including claims party members were “mad”, was reported on the eve of the election. The conservative Christian also boasted he hadn’t always voted for Labor.
“Some of his views were well known, but the sentiments he expressed in November were beyond the pale,” Ms McGurk says. Echoing last week’s calls from United Voice WA secretary Carolyn Smith, she says it would be “honourable” for him to resign.
“I knew he was opposed to same-sex marriage, but most of my dealings with him were through Unions WA, as he was the head of the shop assistants’ union, and I’d seen that he’d done a good job representing ordinary people.
“It’s a tough job running the SDA—you know they have to recruit 800 members a week just to keep the numbers up because they have such a churn rate.”
• Simone McGurk
McGowan faces Freo demands
the table. It’s been six months since the premier announced there would be a closure—well, amalgamations, but that effectively means a closure—and to make the consultation meaningful they would have to put out three or four options.”
But Ms McGurk says the survey has only a few motherhood statements and little substance.
She says it’s obvious South Fremantle and Hamilton senior high schools are in the picture for amalgamation, but which gets closed (and the land probably sold) is anyone’s guess.
But she says the surviving school must off er a good range of tertiary-entrance courses: “No-one wants to send their kids to an experiment.”
McGurk’s Curtin call
Mr Day replied there was nothing the government could do to reverse the decision as the JDAP and SAT were independent bodies. He said the council needed to change its
planning scheme if it wanted to avoid such projects being approved.

Arthur concernTHE Fremantle History Society committee is concerned about plans for the historic and sensitive area around J Shed and the broader Arthur Head precinct.
As with many such projects, accurate and comprehensive information is di cult to get in order to properly assess the proposal and its impact. The impact on heritage values must be assessed within a broader context both in terms of issues (access, proximity to water) and location (adjacent to an historic precinct and site of Fremantle’s foundation).
The society would like to congratulate the Herald for providing ongoing opportunities for the project to be aired publicly and in particular for printing Agnieshka Kiera’s recent Thinking Allowed article.
Because of Agnieshka’s long
IrreplaceableHOW many people can relate to your whole world being on your phone? Notes of your baby’s fi rst steps, fi rst word? Photos of your family holiday?
Everyone knows you should back up. How many of us actually do?
Well, I hadn’t and when my bag was stolen from Spearwood library last Saturday afternoon it wasn’t the money in my wallet (though I seriously can’t aff ord to lose $40), nor the painstaking process of cancelling cards at the front of my mind.
It’s recalling all those times you entered, those precious moments you wished to recall later, our baby’s fi rst words, her precious fi rst steps, those days I felt I’d failed as a mother, the days I felt I succeeded in being an absolute super mum.
I hadn’t uploaded photos from her fi rst trip to Ireland. The list goes heartbreakingly on.
The joke is the thief won’t be able to use the phone: It’s locked down. Cards are cancelled. I doubt our pull-out-in-case-of-toddler-emergency-biscuit is of interest. But precious memories are lost.

Cop thisWE nurses keep odd hours and work crazy shifts, tirelessly working early in the morning and late into the night.
A colleague had left her mobile phone at work so I off ered to bring it to her after I fi nished my shift at 9.30pm on Thursday April 10. With us both living south of the river I thought it would be easy enough to do. She suggested meeting at a main street near my home so I didn’t have to drive to her. We had not been to each other’s homes so neither of us knew exactly where the other lived.
I suggested meeting in the parking lot of Christ the King on Lefroy Road, as I didn’t want her sitting in her car in the park alone late at night.
Roadworks on Canning Highway slowed my journey, so I arrived at 10pm to fi nd she was not there.
When I called she told me of the traumatic and intimidating events that had occurred.
She had been waiting when a police car arrived with lights ablaze and directed into her face. She was alcohol breath-tested and questioned. Her car was checked and faults pointed out. After all her personal details were noted down she was ordered to move on.
I drove to meet her, near her house and returned her phone. She was shaken by the events that neither of us could fathom the reasons for.
This lady, a single mother of three, well into her 50s, who had fi nished her shift that evening, had been intimidated and treated like a suspicious person.
Granted, our choice of meeting place was made in hurry, with only safety in mind.
Is the church no longer such a place? As a parishioner I am disappointed a complaint had obviously been made by a local, who mistook my gentle-natured friend for someone with devious or criminal intentions. This done without knowing the circumstances.
I would like to extend an apology if using an open church parking lot frightened the complainant into calling police to investigate, when that police time could have been used better elsewhere.
It’s Lent, in the Catholic calendar. Love thy neighbour.

The Fremantle History Society believes strongly the J Shed precinct is intimately associated with Arthur Head and Bathers Beach. We are also concerned the proposed area lacks the physical amenity to support the proposal and hope alternative locations which already have appropriate services in place will be considered.

THE recent closure of Multicultural Arts of WA (better known by its
trading name of Kulcha) due to lack of financial support is a tragic and shameful loss for WA music, and musicians (such as Kavisha Mazella and Mark Cain) are correct to publicly voice their protest.
In this article, though, I would like to explore the other side of Kulcha: its considerable contribution to WA’s brand of peaceful multiculturalism. It is the loss of this aspect that should concern all Western Australians, whether they are interested in music or not.
To comprehend this point requires an understanding of the full breadth of the organisation and its history. Multicultural Arts of WA began as the North Perth Ethnic Music Centre (EMC) in a tiny o ce space in North Perth when musician Linsey Pollack observed that many extremely talented migrant musicians hung up their instruments upon arriving in Australia, leading to a loss of their potential contribution to our musical culture.
TappedWouldn’t it be great, he’d
felt, to have a vehicle whereby this hidden talented could be tapped to the benefi t of the entire community? Due to Linsey’s initial work a great many extraordinary musicians of a huge range of cultures were brought back to public performance.
The organisation, since re-named and relocated in Fremantle, continued this line of work with extensive statewide community-oriented programs such as the recent formation of a Brazilian-styled Samba band in the Pilbara and a Japanese Koto project in Broome. Yes, Multicultural Arts of WA had its o ce and principal venue in Fremantle but its reach was statewide.
The impact of this community work is perhaps best demonstrated with an example from the early days: a Chilean musician who’d worked with a popular Latin American folk band in the ‘80s and ‘90s said to me the most important aspect of h is involvement with multicultural arts was its facilitation of his integration with the general Australian community so quickly after his arrival.
If it had not been for this musical involvement he says he would have drifted into a Latin American enclave with relatively little interaction with

Anglo-Australians. The events he performed at drew a mix of Latin American and Anglo-Australian audiences in about equal numbers.
Such comments apply not just to him but to his family and numerous Latin American community members in the audience. Due to the continuing work of Kulcha the same process of social integration has occurred for many musicians and their communities, from places as diverse as Africa, Iran and Brazil. How much better is this nurtured mul t i cu l tura l i sm than the monocultural policies of the post-war era which, paradoxically, saw migrants form insular, separated enclaves, often associated with particular suburbs?
It is worth considering all this in the context of Australia’s approach to multiculturalism in comparison to overseas eff orts. In the 1970s Australia adopted what is often termed a “salad bowl” policy in which migrants were encouraged to retain aspects of their own cultural identity whilst simultaneously forming part of an integrated Australian society. As a result, Australia proudly stands out for the success of a peaceful multiculturalism that has avoided the sort of con fl ict associated with migration in other western countries (such as the 2005 Birmingham riots in the UK).
I do not suggest that level of tension is likely here, but it needs to be understood that our successful multiculturalism has not happened by accident—it is the product of careful public policy, programs and institutions (SBS is a national example), and that organisations like Kulcha make a substantial contribution to that process.
Given the valuable social contribution multicultural arts can make, an organisation along the lines of Kulcha becomes essential. The support of migrant musicians requires a specialist approach not usually available through mainstream arts and music agencies , which are accustomed to dealing with artists with conventional “western” aspirations in pop, jazz and classical music. Obviously, an organisation dealing with migrant musicians requires knowledge of a vast range of non-western world music styles and associated instruments. But this is only the beginning of the task.
To start with you need to fi nd the musicians: not surprisingly, migrant music ians do not usually seek out arts agencies upon arriving in Australia, preferring to dedicate their time to the more immediate practical issues associated with migration. In the original centre, Linsey spent many hours, usually of his own time, following leads, contacting migrant groups, and tracing musicians to their homes and workplaces. The same work continued in the organisation until recently, with much of it still carried out in unpaid time by members.
But above all there is the cultural sensitivity of working w i t h m i g r a n t m u s i c i a n s . These people often come from places where things were done differently. Often they have cultural, political, religious or personal history backgrounds that impact on the way they approach the role of musician in their new country.
WomenS o m e c o u n t r i e s d o n o t
permit women to perform publicly. In some parts of the world traditional music carries religious connotations that impose requirements upon performance. Some countries favour street performance over stage. Some traditions involve considerable improvisation, others frown upon it. One musician I worked with refused to perform in a South-West venue made of rammed earth because it reminded him too much of the poverty he had spent his life trying to escape. Another was perplexed when he was not festooned with free wine and food by the local restaurants as he would have been at home.
T h e m a i n t e n a n c e o f a specialised body to work with multicultural arts is an essential component of multiculturalism. Wi t h a l a rg e i n c re a s e i n immigration in recent years the need for such an organisation has increased, not decreased. Yet in spite of this, Kulcha received no money at all from any multicultural-related source in its last year of operation. This is wrong and I urge all interested to lobby for the establishment of a new body to carry on this important work, and for the allocation of adequate funding to do the job.

same time. The Herald witnessed almost comical scenes while recently checking out two navy warships being fi tted out.
With a long queue already waiting to turn right from Quill Way into Cockburn Road, four buses arrived at a carpark
below, spilling out tradies who sprinted to their cars, lunch boxes slapping against their legs as they ran.
The reason for their haste dawned on the Chook reporter, who hot-tailed it out of there along with dozens of others on a very dubious “outside” lane.
“Those people turning left go up Mayor Road and end up in this other road block at Beeliar Drive,” Mr Logan said.
“Every day the unions, the AMC, the workers contact me about this and I have been begging LandCorp and Main Roads to open up an outlet on the southern side of the complex. They’ve got an outlet there, you know, but they just won’t open it up.”

by CLARE KENYONALLIED MILLS is being coy about the future of the heritage-listed dingo fl our mill in North Fremantle.
The mill will soon be the last remnant of the industry that once dominated the area: the nearby Matilda Bay brewery and Tubemakers sites are being primed for residential redevelopment.
Driving past the mill recently the Chook noticed the iconic dingo sign was faded and little seems to have been spent on the facade.
The building’s condition also caught the eye of David Lyons, the son of a painter who’d completed his apprenticeship with the dingo’s original artist David Nash (not Alan Bond!). Mr Lyons has been plugging away since 2010 trying to
get Allied to splash out on some paint to bring the art back to life.
The company replied to him in February 2011 saying it didn’t have the money.
Mr Lyons approached the WA heritage o ce, but executive director Graeme Gammie says there’s nothing it can do.
“Care and maintenance is the responsibility of the private owners,” Mr Gammie told the Herald.
“To assist private owners with the conservation of their registered places the heritage council has an annual
grants program.”But when the
Chook contacted Allied—a 60-40 joint
venture between GrainCorp and
Cargill—a curt “no comment” was all it would off er on both
the mural and the mill’s future.
Drab Dingo omen?GrainCorp’s been in the news lately,
with US-based global food processor Archer Daniels Midland trying to buy the company out. ADM was knocked back by federal treasurer Joe Hockey following a senate inquiry last year into how the deal might aff ect competition across the country
Last month trade minister Andrew Robb confi rmed the government will immediately allow the American food conglomerate to lift its stake in GrainCorp from 19.85 per cent to almost 25 per cent. Mr Robb also fl agged a full takeover may be given the go-ahead later.
The sale is opposed by farmers who fear it will give ADM too much market power.

THE callous brutalisation of some of Australia’s most vulnerable
citizens is laid bare in an exhibition at the Fremantle Maritime Museum—Inside: Life in Children’s Homes and Institutions.
Senior national museum curator Jay Arthur was no stranger to detailing the abuse meted out to kids in care, having curated exhibitions on the stolen generation and child migrants.
But this one had been the most gruelling for both herself and her team, she says.
“It aff ected me quite considerably,” she told the Herald. “I felt an incredible responsibility to get it right…I had to get it right for them.”
The words of former child inmates tell the story, handwritten notes revealing years of pain.
“It was child labour—to build up the resources of the church,” one says. “We worked before and after school and at weekends. If they thought we weren’t working hard enough they hit us.
“I’ve still got the injury from one beating,” Michael O’Donaghue, incarcerated at Clontarf in the 1950s, says.
“I am now 82-years-old and these memories remain very clear. What happened to our childhood?” Carmel Durant asks.
A poignant sign from a Methodist babies home was donated, with instructions the broken glass wasn’t to be mended, as it represented the broken hearts of its tiny inmates.
The yellowed sign warns
ARTSJENNY D’ANGERAAAAAAAJE
sternly “visitors are requested not to touch the Babies”.
Juanita Burr was at St Joseph’s in Queensland in the 1950s: “The nuns had the best foods,” she recalls. “They gave us the stuff that was donated—it had weevils in it. I remember vomiting it up. THEY MADE ME EAT MY OWN VOMIT!”
Contrary to popular understanding, only a small percentage of the half-million kids institutionalised between 1940–80 were orphaned, Aboriginal or migrants.
The vast majority had families but circumstances, usually poverty, placed many in care. Women deserted by their partners had few alternatives for their children prior to 1973, says Dr Arthur. “Whitlam changed the world because he brought in single parent support.”
Young girls were institutionalised for “wild” behaviour: “My body still remembers all the shame of what I witnessed, and the corrosive, all-pervasive acid-urine smell of fears. I was thirteen years,” Barbara Lane writes of her time locked in an adult female psychiatric ward as recently as the 1980s.
Thirteen-year-old Rhonda Trivette was also locked in a psychiatric ward, despite there being no diagnosis of mental illness, and was not released until she was 21: “Every night…
waiting, just waiting, as afraid as ever and terrifi ed…just waiting for somebody to come in and rape, bash and probably knock me out.”
Children drew and shared maps of places to hide from paedophile priests at a Victorian St John of God home: the authors were known as members of the “bunny club” because they knew the best hidey holes.
Many of those who’d been institutionalised were left mentally scarred, suff ering from depression throughout their lives: The suicide rate amongst former inmates is high.
Dr Arthur says Australians must shake off their apathy, learn about the terrible truth of what occurred and collectively take responsibility for it.
“We allowed this to happen,” she says. “As long as the places were clean the [government] didn’t care. We didn’t care enough,” she says, stressing the “we”.
Inside: Life in Children’s Homes and Institutions provides a chilling, heartbreaking insight into Australia’s history, as recently as 30 years ago (the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse is hearing evidence of abuse that occurred as few as fi ve years ago—this is not a problem that has been solved).
The free exhibition is on at the Maritime Museum until June 29 and is a must-see.
Will Australia’s prolonged incarceration of refugees be the next subject of such an exhibition? How will history judge this generation for turning a blind eye while refugees are beaten to death in Australian-managed camps?
We didn’t care enoughExhibition explores brutal treatment of children

COCKBURN’S collection of
historical artefacts is running
out of space—of which there
is plenty at the old South
Fremantle power station,
says mayor Logan Howlett.
“I will be pushing to get the
ground oor developed for
a new museum and business
centre and the second oor for
activities such as Scitech and the
Museum of Early Childhood,”
he told the Herald, leaving space
for artists who have dif culty
nding room in Fremantle—the
soon-to-be-homeless WA Circus
School came to mind.“Why not?” the mayor said.
“And once it’s cleaned up, the
front of the power station could
be turned into ocean pools and
an adventure water playground.
Azelia Ley homestead is
over owing with thousands of
artefacts donated by people over
the years. We want to put them
on display.”Mr Howlett says the rst

station should be dedicated

museums and art galleries, the
rest for residential and hotel
apartments.Discussions had already

MORE than 40 workers at the
SMRC waste recycling plant in
Canning Vale could lose their
jobs after the WA government
ordered the place to shut
within weeks.Administration of cer Helen
Selleck says it will be the second
job she has lost in two years.
“I left retail in the hopes of
more security in a government
position and it’s upsetting,” she
told the Herald.“I think we do a brilliant job
here reducing land ll and now
that they’re looking at shutting
us down I’m worried about the
impact of that decision not just on
staff but on the WA environment.”
She says the Barnett
government has sent a clear
message: “They don’t care about
the impact on the environment,
which is upsetting.“A lot of people visiting the
facility are offering support for

it remaining open, let’s hope the
government comes to its senses.”
Mechanical tter Lyndon
Murray has worked at the SMRC
for nine-and-half years.
“I have two children; a two-
year-old and a four-year-old and
my family relies on my income,”
he said.“I’m surprised by the decision
but encouraged by the support
from the community for keeping
the facility open.“I hope the DEC comes to its
senses and puts the interest of the
environment and the community
rst and let us continue the work
we’re doing here.”Meanwhile, WA local
government association chief Troy
Pickard, the mayor of Joondalup,
says there is no guarantee the
DEC will allow the SMRC to re-
open even if the odour issues are
addressed.“The closure of this facility will
have a signi cant impact on our
rate of recycling and has potential
rami cations for the waste
treatment industry in this state,”
he said.• Council fury, residents’

some landowners hope LandCorp
can help them relocate to other
industrial areas such as latitude 32
in Hope Valley.Landowners along Cockburn
Road include the WA potato
marketing board, Western Salt
Re nery and Almoral Skin and
Hide Exporters.“They want a reasonable deal
out of this,” Cr Sullivan says. “For
some of them, relocating will cost
millions of dollars.”Once the land is made
available, developers can focus
on the building at the rear of the
cathedral-style power station.
Options include gutting and
decapitating the eight-storey
structure to accommodate a
13-storey hotel tower inside.
“It’s still early stages,” Cr
Sullivan says. “I think landowners
are waiting to see what comes
out of it. “Some are a little bit
incredulous that something would
happen to the power station.”
Ugly transformers could
be relocated to land owned by
Cockburn council, making room
for a market plaza that leads to
cycle paths, jetties, boat ramps,
and a Rottnest Island ferry service.
“Imagine 8000 people arriving
here,” Mr Howlett says, turning to

ago, so why can’t we now with
all the technology and progress
recreate that?”

FREMANTLE
HERALD
FREMANTLE is set to lose
the bulk-billing GP clinic at
Fremantle Hospital within
weeks.The 22-year-old service, run
by three dedicated doctors as a
non-pro t charitable trust, is to be
replaced by a commercial operator.
The Barnett government last
week told Fremantle Hospital
General Practice it had just four
weeks to shut its doors.
Clinic director Trenna Turner
says 20,000 patients are on
le—many of them elderly, poor,
unemployed, homeless and from
ethnic background—and there’s
already a GP shortage in the area.
“The patients are my concern,
I’d hate for some of them to nd
out we are closing down through
the media,” she told the Herald.
“It’s very dif cult.”
Dr Turner says moves to close
the non-pro t service appeared to
follow its request for nancial help
to cover a doctor shortage.
“One of our doctors died at
Christmas and we have struggled
to replace him,” she said.
“It’s dif cult for a practice like
ours to nd a replacement doctor
when we compete with private
MELVILLE residents will
be able to build pergolas,
basketball hoops, garden
sheds and cubby houses
without enduring the cost
and inconvenience of formal
application—if the council
approves a plan to slash red
tape.Last year council received
more than 400 applications for
minor adjustments or additions to
homes, clogging up the planning
department.
Under the new proposal
residents can build “minor
xtures” and “minor
appurtenances” so long as they
meet certain criteria.
For example, a shed can’t be
higher than 2.4 metres, a pergola
can’t cover more than two-thirds
of a back or front yard, and there’s
to be no more than one ag pole,
basketball, or netball hoop on a
property.
The report estimates the council
will lose around $55,000 a year
in foregone fees, but this will be
made up by saving on staff time,
and freeing them up to deal with
costlier applications.
“The minor scale of these
proposals means that their
resultant impacts are similarly
minimal, to the extent that
they can be readily managed
via the introduction of new
speci c minimum development
requirements,” the report reads.
Councillors will vote on the
amendment this month.

commercial operation, makes its
own determination of its ongoing
business arrangements”.
Dr Turner hopes the clinic can
keep operating beyond the four
weeks’ notice period, until new
operators are ready to start.
“[They] won’t be in place for a
length of time,” she says.
“In the meantime there’ll be
interim arrangements, but we
don’t know what they’ll be.”
She says the possibility of the
service going out to tender was
of executives who move around,
it’s been quite dif cult.”
Alfred Cove independent MP
Janet Woollard says, “executives of
Fremantle Hospital told Dr Turner
Tuesday that their hands were
tied, that their orders had come
from ‘higher up the food chain’”.
She wants WA health minister
Kim Hames to personally step in
and save the clinic.
“Thousands of less well-off
patients from across the south
metropolitan area have come to
depend on the hospital general
practice at Fremantle Hospital,”
she said.
“At a time when people are
struggling to get onto the books
of a family doctor, it’s ridiculous
that a government department
would use heavy-handed tactics to
shut down a practice with 20,000
patients.”
Patient Diana Forman says the
clinic provides an essential service
for locals: “I’ve been coming here
for a few years, it’s terri c to have
one so close,” she told the Herald.
“The doctors are lovely and so
are the staff, it’s like a family: You
get so close to them.
“I like that it’s attached to the
hospital, because if you need a test
you’re right there, and I tend to
like places that aren’t pretentious.”

FREMANTLEHERALD
by STEVE GRANTAMENDMENT 49 sailed through Fremantle council Wednesday night.
The changes to the council’s city planning scheme, touted as the biggest to hit Fremantle since CY O’Connor’s harbour was built, will now be sent to WA planning minister John Day for approval after winning unanimous support from councillors.Despite his support for the
amendment, Cr Jon Strachan presented a 732-signature petition calling for a maximum six storeys. It was not supported (the Woolstores shopping centre site will be allowed 10 storeys).
Councillors remained stony-faced as the petition was presented,
while the Chook detected a slightly
dismissive tone in the voice of CEO
Graeme Mackenzie as he pointed out almost half the signatures came from non-residents.Cr Josh Wilson said it was
appropriate for people in wider Fremantle to comment on the city’s future, but while he had taken opposition into account he remained convinced the council was making the right decision.
The amendment couldn’t get through without one last controversy: Cr Rob Fittock cast a throwaway line he was more impressed by 231 signatures from dog lovers wanting access to Gilbert Fraser Oval in North Fremantle than the petition’s 732.
That earned him a withering glare from Fremantle Society president Roel Loopers, who passed a furiously scribbled note across the chamber to the Chook: “Statement by Fittock about PSA 49
petition is arrogant, insulting and offensive,” it grumped.
by BRAD JEFFERIESTWO local Liberal MPs are demanding the immediate shutdown of the SMRC waste composting plant at Canning Vale, saying attempts to x the smells have failed and the place has run out of chances.
Their demand sought to pre-empt any decision by the WA environment department to extend a temporary operational licence. That decision was expected yesterday (Friday March 30, 2012).
Jandakot MP Joe Francis and Riverton MP Mike Nahan—who occupy two of the Liberal-National government’s most marginal seats—are demanding that premier Colin Barnett deal with the issue once and for all.“Colin said he’s going to take
it up,” Mr Francis told the Herald. “If he can’t take it up, there’s something wrong with democracy.
“This blatant and cynical disregard for the welfare and comfort of families in the neighbourhood cannot continue.
“The plant must be closed immediately.”Mr Nahan—a one-term MP
facing a challenge from Kim Beazley’s daughter Hannah—says, “the plant should be closed and it should remain closed and not be allowed to resume operations until its odour problems are totally eliminated”.The MPs say a hotline has
generated 101 complaints this month alone, and that fact was put to the premier “in no uncertain terms” at a meeting last week.
WA environment minister Bill Marmion implied to the Herald he was not getting involved, saying licensing decisions were made by his department CEO.“We’ve been pushing a stone

up the hill, and now I feel we’re at the top,” Mr Francis said.“It can go two ways from here,
down the other side or roll back on to us...we’ve put all our cards on the table.”“I want direction from them
this week, and I’d be disappointed if we don’t get it.”A community odour hotline
has registered more than 120 complaints this year: The SMRC’s of cial odour hotline has registered just 10. SMRC acting CEO Tim Youe
says the plant, owned jointly by local councils, is an important community facility.“If the RRRC ceases operation,
tens of thousands of tonnes of waste will be sent to land ll per year, resulting in a negative impact on the environment and local business.”
Kidogo calls in the craneby ALLI ORPOFTHE heritage-listed building
that houses Kidogo Arthouse will move 100 metres closer
to Bathers Beach this Sunday, April 1 in a move expected to cost Fremantle council just under $1 million.“The building will be a
centrepiece of the new ocean pool project, which is to be named Frail Pool in honour of the Frail Whale Flensing Company that used to operate from the beach,” mayor Brad Pettitt said.“Engineers assure us the
building can be cut from its foundations and pretty much picked up and put down without any heritage damage.”“It’s quite exciting to think
that people will be swimming and enjoying a spot where whale blubber used to coat the sands,” said Swedish project manager Ollia Forp. “But I suppose fat people on the beach should be careful just in case,” she laughed.
The Kidogo building is scheduled to move at 11.59am on Sunday April 1, 2012—which is April Fool’s Day.
• Mayor Brad Pettitt is looking forward to this crane moving

“Stay Cool this Summer...”
Wall Mounted Split Systems

ABOUT 40 people have
protested the imminent
closure of the bulk-billing
Fremantle Hospital GP clinic.
State Labor candidate Simone
McGurk and WA health shadow
Roger Cook addressed the crowd
outside the South Terrace clinic
on Wednesday evening.

two weeks ago the Barnett
government had decided to axe
the non-pro t clinic and put its
contract out to tender, all but
• continued page 2
THE doctor who set up the
Fremantle Hospital GP clinic
says the hospital’s emergency
department will be overrun by
non-critical patients when the
bulk-billing clinic closes.
Professor Max Kamien says
patients with social problems and
drug addictions will walk into
the casualty department rather
than seek out a new GP. They will
“mess up the system” and won’t
receive appropriate care.
“The truth is, no GP clinic
looking after disadvantaged
patients and practicising good
medicine—by this I mean a
holistic approach including social
welfare—will [commercially]
survive,” Prof Kamien says.
“You need to nd a saint, a
series of saints, who are willing
to work for maybe $50,000, and
they’re hard to nd.
‘Just survive’
“The patients are all Medicare
patients, you can just survive
if those patients are seen
rapidly, but these ones need
long appointments: It’s very
disappointing.”
Prof Kamien, a state nalist
for Australian of the Year in 2009,
started the clinic in the 1980s
under a joint relationship between
UWA and Fremantle Hospital.
It was so successful in
attracting patients that within a
few weeks the hospital started
taking some of them back.
Suturing and removing foreign
objects from eyes—most GPs’
bread and butter—were deemed
emergency procedures, leaving the
clinic with patients suffering more
serious health and welfare issues.
“They left us all the tough stuff,
HIV, dire social problems, and

so on, most of them poor and in
bad health with drug and alcohol
issues, the working ladies, etc”
Prof Kamien recalls.
“This needed an hour per
person, and to be frank a clinic
is never going to be nancially
viable if it takes an hour for
appointments.
Prof Kamien handed the clinic’s
reins over to Dr Trenna Turner and
says it’s “limped on” after being
ignored by Fremantle Hospital.
“It was Freo’s idea [and I’ve]
always been disappointed in them,
they have no intention of keeping
it how it was conceived.
“It just didn’t have a nancial
base: Freo Hospital got cold on
the idea and forgot why they set
it up.”The Australian Medical
Association (WA) says the clinic
saves the hospital between
$150,000 and $1 million each year
by seeing patients who would
otherwise admit themselves to the
emergency department.
AMA (WA) vice-president
Richard Choong describes the
Barnett government’s decision
to axe the clinic and replace it
with a commercial tender is
“disappointing”.
He’s “called on Fremantle
Hospital to talk further with the
clinic and to consider extra ways
in which it can assist this service to
continue”.New state Labor candidate for
Fremantle Simone McGurk has
seized on the issue as her most
pressing campaign priority.

A FRENCH busker has pleaded guilty to a charge of assault after snipping a lock of hair from a festival-goer at last weekend’s Fremantle Street Arts Festival.
Madcap mime artist Rodolphe Couthouis—aka Flochard—was given a spent conviction, but was slugged $125 in court costs.
“Everything is over and I’m a free man!” he laughed. “I am not a haircut criminal.”
Mr Couthouis says a woman who later insisted on his being charged had burst out laughing when he snipped off a ringlet while performing his rst show Blah Blah Blah on Easter Saturday.
“During the show, when I can see someone without hair on his head, I look at someone with long hair, and think maybe I can help the person with no hair,” he told the Herald. “I go to my bag and get my scissors out, come next to the woman and cut a little piece of hair and put it on his head.
“I did it very slowly—three times I look at her, look at him, so she can see what I’m doing.
by BRENDAN FOSTER
EVIDENCE has emerged the Barnett government instructed public servants to pay Homeswest contractor Trans eld regardless of the quality of work done.
An email marked “high importance”—issued to WA housing department property services two years ago, just after Trans eld was appointed—said all invoices “must be paid as submitted without fail” even in cases of ”non-compliance”.
“She laughed and everybody laughed.”
The street artist was gobsmacked when the cops phoned, asking him to head down to the Fremantle police station so he could be charged with assault.
The Herald understands Fremantle city council—the festival’s organiser—tried to head things off by offering the aggrieved woman a free haircut and 50 bucks, but she wouldn’t have a bar of it.
“I was thinking this must be a joke—are you kidding?” Mr Couthouis said. “I spent a long time at the of ce, trying to nd a solution, trying to nd a lawyer, worrying what’s going to happen.
“It’s so stupid and ridiculous.”Originally told to front the
Fremantle Magistrates Court on May 11 he pleaded for the case to be brought forward to Thursday April 12 as he was due to y out that night.
The Frenchman said he wouldn’t be changing his routine anytime soon: “I did it 50 times during my shows and never had a problem,” he said. “It seems like a lot of problem for a piece of hair.
“I didn’t cut her nger off.” • Rodolphe Couthouis—aka Flochard—surrenders to a hair-raising charge of assault. Photo by Steve Grant• More festival photos by Matthew Dwyer on pages 6 and 7.
Unkind cut for French artist
Blank chequeThe Labor opposition has
seized on the memo as evidence of maladministration.
WA planning shadow and Willagee MP Peter Tinley—who has doggedly pursued the department’s troubled relationship with Trans eld—now wants the Corruption and Crime Commission and WA auditor-general to get involved.
“I have been given signi cant evidence of jobs that were paid to the head contractors by the department of housing that the head contractor failed to complete,” Mr Tinley told the
Herald. “The jobs were ultimately given by the department to contractors outside of the head contractor model to complete, so these jobs were paid for twice.”
Mr Tinley grilled WA housing minister Troy Buswell in state parliament last week about contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and the reply was, “what’s the problem?”
“This is a minister who until only a few weeks ago was denying there were any problems at all within the failed privatisation until the evidence became so overwhelming he was forced to
acknowledge problems with the ‘implementation’,” Mr Tinley said.
Meanwhile, Mr Buswell has referred Mr Tinley to the CCC after the Willagee MP attacked Homeswest for demanding that neighbours of Homeswest properties share the cost of replacing asbestos fences.
Mr Buswell says Mr Tinley owns such a home and would have received one of the letters, and that he should have publicly disclosed his nancial interest.
Mr Tinley says he never received a letter and hasn’t been asked to contribute.For details, see the Competitions page

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)It’s near the end of the Sun’s annual journey through Aries. It’s time for
integration. The Moon is in Sagittarius, setting a tone of warm truth. Start the truth telling with yourself. Share it once it is integrated, distilled and checked thoroughly for distortions. Refl ect and ponder luxuriantly.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Venus is swimming through the ecstatic currents and dangerous depths of Pisces.
She is taking you to a feeling edge that is invigorating, for its broad sweep of potentialities. As the Sun moves to the end of Aries, the adrenal fuelled part of the adventure is mellowing out. Go deep.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) To fi nd your feet, life seems to be suggesting that you check if you
need to uproot yourself and plant yourself somewhere new. Discontent can drive creative process beautifully, with mindfulness added. So, add mindfulness to all the rattling and shaking. Action is implied.
CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)Life seems to be gently expanding horizons that have been set in stone for
aeons. In the process, you are turning into a force to be reckoned with. There are plenty of disparate voices speaking loudly at the moment. You are well equipped to more than hold your own. Know this well.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)The heat of the Aries Sun is mellowing. There is warmth in the air now, rather
than heat. Use this time to come home to yourself and to the ones you love. This home time is the crucible for creativity. Do nourishing things. Explore ways and means that bring you back to relaxation.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)It is by fl oating in the ocean of imagination that inspiration is called into action. To truly
be ourselves, we need to explore the vast unknown continent of our own mysterious being. Life is asking that you be creative. Create yourself. Break free from the prefabricated version.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)The North Node is now in Libra. It’s beginning to exert its infl uence. It is
starting to nudge all Librans to get their acts together. This moment doesn’t come around many times in a lifetime. It’s a long moment but it’s a one off. Put your endlessly cogitated plans into place somehow.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)Saturn is in cahoots with Chiron. Saturn is about confronting
signifi cant obstacles and turning them into stepping stones. Chiron is the shaman, the wounded healer. He/she is the part of us that knows that our woundedness is where the gift of healing lies, waiting to be found. Find it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)The Moon begins this week in Sagittarius. She warms you up. She cools you down.
She makes you feel. Then she makes you refl ect. She brings the currents of feeling, that are fl owing under the topsoil of science and logic, up to the surface. She makes you fl awed and beautiful.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The harder you grit your teeth and tense your shoulders, and try to hold on to a
way of being that is no longer relevant, the tougher it will be – and the more resistance you will provoke. The change Pluto is bringing in, is for real. Reactivity is a waste of energy. Reinvent yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Those who oppose each other, each have something special to give the other. As the
visionary one, your job is to fi gure out how to get the best out of those who are pitting themselves against each other. Find the deep harmony that rests under surface squabbles. Be cool and articulate.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Neptune, Venus and Chiron, are all fl ying through the constellation of
Pisces. That’s a lot of love, longing and healing. It is time to truly value all that is buried in your heart - and fi gure out how to get it out and about through your favourite means of expression. Life needs you as you are.
