The theatre of dinning
No4 is a performance. Run by a troupe of
passionate people; each playing their part
in the improvised script.
An experience at No4 starts with a
warm greeting. The waiter is a little
forward, suggestive and helpful. He
offers advice without the pretension of
education; takes the time to learn about
his guests in order to guide them through
the drama of a meal; instructive but so
gracious in manner. Nothing is too much
trouble.
Like the theatre, dinner at No4 is full
of surprises. Most of the night runs
according to the script. A well versed
script of interesting and harmonious
flavours, but interspersed is a raft of
miniature surprises; an expression of the
Chef ’s whim.
And then the piece de resistance comes
at that point where you think you can
go no further. The deft hands of our
esteemed pastry Chef combine flavour
and form to create deserts that have a
narrative in themselves. Like a punch
line of a plot the whole meal now makes
sense and reaches conclusion - Bravo!
Encore!

JANUARY
THE year starts with nine
businesses involved in a Stirling city
council rort having to re-pay almost
$1 million. But any chance the
pilfering taught the council a lesson
about the benefits of transparency
go out the window: “The sensitive
and confidential nature of the
investigation and the subsequent
legal negotiations restricted the
amount of information that could
be released to the community,”
says mayor David Boothman. The
name of the corrupt former building
inspector who killed himself before
giving testimony continues to be
censored—setting an extraordinary
precedent for protecting the
sensitivities of dead people.
HIDE and seek has a different
slant for the kids who live around
Noranda Avenue Reserve. They
hunt for syringes and broken glass
hiding in the playground then seek
an adult to help clean it up before
they get to slide. Local mum Zita
Williamson warns visitors not to let
kids play there, and says Bayswater
council’s done nothing despite
repeated complaints for years.
Eventually the council gets its act
together and promises to rake the
sandpit.
WHY travel when you can feel like
you’re in a third world country in
your own backyard? Canadian
visitor Frank O’Brien says Hyde
Park’s toilets are so manky he’d
rather stick his bum on one of
India’s notorious squats. He gives
the Voice an unforgettable tour of
poo smears in the stalls, needle
bins with no bottoms and the
western block where not a single
dunny has a seat.
IF Voiceland seemed less funny
than last year, that’s because WA’s
comic talent is being siphoned
off to keep t’othersiders laughing,
says comedian Paul Dragan. He’s
setting up the Comedy Shack on
Murray Street to try and give locals
a chance to headline and spend a
little extra time developing material
as enticement to stick it out on
the west coast. After all, he says,
Dave Hughes sucked when he first
started and look where he got.
THE fifth day of the Chinese
New Year is known as the God of
Wealth’s birthday, but that’s not
enough to convince Chinese-owned
mining companies to dig out a
single yuan for festivities. There’s
a Chinese whisper it might be
because organisers Chung Wah are
a bit too friendly with Singaporean
Chinese, who in turn are a bit too
friendly with Taiwan. Perth city
council and the state government
come to the rescue with some
funding.
FEBRUARY
IT could be a silent night at
Bayswater’s annual carols by
candlelight at the end of the
year, with council bureaucrats
complaining the event has become
“too religious”—yep, we shit you
not. They want the local reverends
to ease up on celebrating the birth
of that peacenik socialist in sandals
and maybe do a bit more with the
jolly consumer icon in red.
A DECENT kick-to-kick is hard
to find in Perth because planning
mandarins let developers get away
with pissy pocket parks rather than
decent ovals. It’s a story North
Perth United says it’s hearing from
amateur clubs across Voiceland as
they take the brave (or foolhardy)
step of giving up the Birdwood
Square’s uneven turf to hunt for
new digs.
TRENDY independent retailers are
making Beaufort Street a mecca
for shoppers, but that’s giving
greedy landlords bad ideas. They’re
pumping up rents which only the
big chain stores can afford, warns
Beaufort Street Network’s David
Doy. He’s working on a solution
but says chain store hell could be

inevitable, as it was in Subi.
IF Central Tafe’s enrolments go
through the roof they can thank
comedians Henry Inglis and
Aaron McCann. The pair put
together a gruesome advert for the
learnatorium featuring severed limbs
and a rod embedded in a jaw, and
it’s such a hit that by the end of the
year, it’s been viewed by 2.5 million
people, most of whom comment
“what the...”

long the bulldozers scrape away the
first bit of turf and the project’s off
and running.
SCHOOL kids trying to cross busy
Charles Street to get to North Perth
primary are in a catch-22. Parents
want a lollipop person because the
road’s so busy it’s too dangerous
to let kids cross. But because their
kids are too scared to cross, the
police department’s computers say
there’s not enough demand. The
P&C hopes paying for its own for a
short time will encourage more kids
to use the crossing and convince
Constable Hal to change his mind.
SELF-CENTRED Gen-Y workers
are driving Greens & Co boss Stuart
Lofthouse nuts. His Leederville
store’s getting hammered for poor
service and he reckons its because
he’s employing emos with baggy
jeans and fringes so long that
customers can’t see a fl icker of a
smile—if there is one. Research
shows Gen-Y aren’t very loyal
either, most ditching their job within
two years. Anyone considered
that might be a refl ection of the
increasing prevalence of “insecure
work”? What goes around comes
around, we guess.
CONCRETERS win another five
years in Claisebrook, despite
strident opposition from Vincent
council which wants to redevelop
the area with swanky apartments.
Holcim and Hanson’s licences had
been due to expire this year, but
the powerful but unelected state
administrative tribunal says planning
‘For the Voice the issue
is less about the pros
and cons of density
and more about the
near-complete lack of
control residents have’
minister John Day should give them
an extension, and blow us down he
did exactly what he was told!
TAGGERS should give a sigh
of relief that lawyer Michael
Sutherland’s career took a turn
towards politics rather than a seat
on the magistracy. The hang-emhigh MP gets stuck into the courts
for giving hard-core vandals a slap
on the wrist and reckons more
should spend time in porridge to
teach ‘em a lesson.
APRIL
THE Mount Lawley underpass
looks like a “dog’s dinner” and
needs upgrading says Liberal
candidate for Maylands Sylvan
Albert. He’s backed by Mt Lawley
Lib Michael Sutherland who
complains Bayswater council
promised to pay for urban art three
years ago but looks like reneging.
Mayor Terry Kenyon counters it’s
not the council’s underpass so it
shouldn’t have to pony up.
LABOR hopes to shame the
Barnett government with a social
media blitz about Perth’s jampacked trains. It invites commuters
to post pictures as part of its Stop
Perth’s Sardines campaign, but
when we checked late in the year
just three had bothered to do so
and two were pretty inconclusive—
mind you it’s hard to get a great
photo when you can’t move your
upper body.
A GROWING number of WA
women are birthing in secret
because they’re sick of doctors
treating pregnancy like a disease.
The free-birthers, as they’re
called, say medicos are addicted
to their drugs and scalpels
and make natural birth almost
impossible, particularly now the
health department has banned
midwives from working without a
doctor breathing down their neck.
The AMA says all homebirths are
dangerous, but free-birthers argue
20%OFF
a trip to a labour ward in WA’s
over-stretched hospitals is worse.
They’ve got a point—the World
Health Organization points out that
if caesarian rates rise above 15 per
cent any benefits are outweighed by
the negatives, which should give St
John of God in Murdoch the shivers
about its startling 55.8 per cent
caesarian rate.
RAT-RUNNERS have 150 locals
out protesting in Mt Lawley. Stirling
council has mooted opening
Carrington Street (a sleepy cul
de sac for 25 years) onto Central
Avenue, but Ian Merker reckons
it’ll turn one of Perth’s prettiest
spots into “downtown Beijing”.
The council promises it’s just a
plan at this stage and there’ll
be consultation before anything
happens. Ha ha ha. Soooo funny.
VINCENT VISION is dead!
proclaims former councillor Simon
Chester. He says approval for
several high-density developments
shows council staffers paid mere
lip-service to the weight of local
public opinion while preparing the
planning document. But mayor
Alannah MacTiernan—who as a
former planning minister has form
as a high-density fan—says the
WA planning commission snuck
in new rules a while back which
developers have only just cottoned
onto. It allows them to significantly
ramp up densities and the council’s
going to have to scramble to
salvage the situation, she warns.
For the Voice the issue is less about
the pros and cons of density and
more about the near-complete
lack of control residents have over
the shape of their community.
Centralised bureaucrats—whether
it’s the WAPC or SAT—continually
ride roughshod over local wishes,
including decisions of elected
councils. If we’re going to have a
state-controlled diktat let’s end the
expensive farce of pretending that
residents’ views count for anything.

MOBILE phone towers still give people
the heebie jeebies despite a mountain
of evidence showing they’re safe. When
Optus proposes a tower over the IGA in
Morley some shoppers reckon they’re
skedaddling, which has owner Kate
Fatorous hopping mad. Locals opposed
to the tower whip up a 529-signature
petition.
FREEBIE dinners for Bayswater’s
mayor and councillors are nearly axed
after the mayor’s majority faction finds
itself in the minority one night due to
injuries. The other side swoops in with
a motion to scrap the dinners and is
confident it has the numbers to ram the
decision through. But they don’t count
on the mayor and his remaining allies
simply walking out of the chamber after
declaring an interest in the item, leaving
the meeting without a quorum and
being forced to close early. The move
may have saved the dinners but it earns
the mayor and his supporters a rebuke
from WA local government minister
John Castrilli who says councils should
be above that sort of thing (later in the
month federal Liberal leader Tony Abbott
and frontbencher Christopher Pyne make
a mad dash for the exits of the House of
Representatives when they realise Craig
Thomson is voting with their side and
they don’t want his vote to count).
CEM SALAMAT from Mt Lawley is
almost Australia’s biggest geek. The IT
specialist (no surprise there) is one of six
finalists in a national competition, but
he’s edged out after foolishly submitting
an audition tape with cool jazz playing in
the background.
FREE speech protestors get booted
out of Perth city council chambers
after heckling councillors. An alliance
of groups who’ve run foul of the PCC’s
jackbooted rangers reckon the council’s
cracking down on dissent by imposing
exorbitant fees. But former army boy
and CEO Frank Edwards reckons it’s
all about keeping everyone safe and
orderly and politely ushers them out of
the chamber.
ARE police being instructed to ignore
crimes because they can’t cope
with the deluge of complaints? The
Chook’s certainly heard the rumour, and
backpacker Siana Thompson’s story
seems to give it some credence. When
she’s conned out of $185 by a bloke
who appears to have broken federal
laws that come with a 10-year gaol
sentence, and state fraud laws, she’s
fobbed off by a copper who reckons it’s
a civil matter. What’s worse is the same
cop that refuses to investigate tells her
she’s the fifth person to be taken in.
Back to the doughnuts. . .
STIRLING council has more staff who
are better paid and have less to do,
says former councillor Paul Collins. He
says wages have blown out from $46.2
million in 2007 to $77.8m five years later,
pushed along with 400 per cent more fat
cats earning more than $100,000 than
four years ago. Over the same period
the council’s capital works program
has shrunk. But human resources chief
Angela Wolstencroft pushes the old
chestnut of having to pay more to get
the best staff, an argument that never
seems to count when it comes to child
care workers, aged care workers and
teachers aides.

PECKISH priests at the Redemptorist
Monastery in North Perth are struggling
to find a new cook. The only taker
so far has been a saucy lass whose
constant “hey sugababe” almost has the
Catholic lads questioning the Church’s
rules about “thou shall not kill”. They’re
not after fillet mignon or the like, just
someone to rustle up a hot soup, and

JUST before falling asleep
trying to read a Vincent council
planning document, Mt Hawthorn
resident Michelle Dewell notices it
suggests ramping up the density
in her neighbourhood. Although
the rezoning is only out for
consultation, council approves a
six-unit development next door
which complies with the suggested
rezoning, which makes her think
it’s all a bit sneaky. Mayor Alannah
MacTiernan admits to a bit of eyeglazing herself when it comes to
reading her planning department’s
reports and promises community
meetings to bring everyone up to
speed.
HISTORIC Mt Lawley primary

his tears: “I had a special pen
that my mum bought for me, and
some of my artwork,” he sobbed.
The only saving grace is the fire

LIVING in aged care isn’t a
barrel of laughs, and the Gillard
government’s just made it worse
for oldies. Aged care lobbyist
Stephen Kobelke says the feds
schmoozed the sector with talk of
reform and a $50 million cutback,
so the announcement it was going
to target $480 million from personal
hygiene and “complex needs”
funding was a real slap in the
face. He notes most centres have
already done their yearly budgets,
so the announcement couldn’t have
come at a better time for creating
complete chaos.
UNLESS you’ve got a ticket to

rentals can make finding an

Bart’s is finding more and more

the centre’s swish new Lime Street
premises will go a little way to
easing the burden.

PERTH city councillor Judy McEvoy

because she says it doesn’t give
enough protection to whiteys. Cr

paints watjelas as aggressors, yet
she’s the one copping abuse in
Northbridge from Aboriginal people.
Cr James Limnios disagrees and
says he witnessed the “disgusting”
treatment of an Indian woman at
Perth airport, before putting his
hand up with the majority “no to
racism” vote in chambers.
SKIMPY barmaids at the WA
Italian Club have Stirling councillor
Giovanni Italiano hot under the
collar, as he reckons they’re out of
step with the country’s rich cultural
heritage. That’s funny, the Chook
recalls gawking at hundreds of
topless marble lassies at the Museo
Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.
Club pres Joe Radici says skimpies
only work a couple of hours a week.
He also defends the appearances
of substance-abusing footballers
Ben Cousins and Brendan Fevola at
the club, whom Cr Italiano reckons
aren’t great role models.
VINCENT council’s planning to

Loserville recently, with closed

TIRED of stepping around the
tell-tale yellow puddles after a
big weekend, Perth’s councillors
declare a war on wee. There’s $2.8
million over five years to improve the
capital’s public dunnies, and even
talk of pop-up urinals that emerge
from the ground at night.

can score free iPads, gardening

Here’s an idea for our legislators:
if corporations are really that
interested in educating kids, raise
the company tax by one per cent
and put that money into schools

SEPTEMBER
MAYLANDS’ popular
street festival is threatened
when Bayswater council
pulls $15,000 in funding
despite a 470-signature
petition. Cr Sylvan Albert, the
endorsed Liberal candidate
for Maylands, reckons the
move is aimed at him as he’s
also chair of the Maylands
Business Association and
isn’t one of the mayor’s
faction. A couple of local
businesses bail out the
festival and it’s a roaring
success.
WA’S first modern light
rail network will head up
Fitzgerald Street, pass
through Enid Blyton University
and on to Mirrabooka. The Metro Area Express
will include 15 stops and is expected to
transport its first passenger by 2018.
SICK of waiting for Julia Gillard and Tony
Abbott to come to their senses, Vincent council
proposes WA’s first same-sex relationship
register. The benefits of such a register are
that it provides official documentation of the
relationship (handy if people have partners from
overseas, want to draft a will, or separate and
divide property).
PERTH council’s got a new CEO, but councillor
Lyndon Rogers is unhappy a sub-committee put
forward just a single name rather than a shortlist.
Cr Rogers says he’s got nothing against new
bloke Gary Stevenson, but says it’s a bit of a
Clayton’s choice.
GO-KART becomes No-kart for promising
young North Perth revhead Henry Lake when
thieves nick his $2500 machine. He was due to
compete in the state championships but says
that’s going to be hard now he’ll have to stitch
together a bid on borrowed equipment.
MANY a saint has been prepared to sacrifice
their life defending their church, but in North
Perth just $2.10 an hour is enough to see a
bunch of Salvos abandon the Army. Vincent
council is rolling out parking machines
throughout the city, and Salvo Ken Smith
notes that since they’ve been installed nearby,
the congregation is noticeably thinner. Innercity residents are also grumpy, with Anthony
Phillips saying any families with two cars and no
driveway are going to be hit pretty hard.
OCTOBER
MILLION-DOLLAR
decisions of councils are
often made on a “whim” by
slackers who won’t read
their agenda says Bayswater
mayor Terry Kenyon, who
wants rules forcing councillors
to do their homework. It’s all
a bit anal warns Cr Sylvan
Albert who wants to know
who’ll be looking over his
shoulder to make sure he’s
being a good boy. Although
the new rule is tucked into
standing orders, there’s
some questions on whether
it contravenes the WA local
government act. Making
someone read through
Bayswater’s last War and
Peace effort—a whopping 505 pages—may
even contravene the Geneva Convention.
A NEW mum is fl oored when a child health
nurse refuses to visit because there’s no
parking. The woman, who complained to
Vincent council, was told it was now health
department “policy” not to send nurses
where there isn’t free parking. Mayor Alannah
MacTiernan says it’s appalling and her vow to
track down the nurse should send shivers down
her spine. The health department won’t say if
it happened or even if it’s policy, but does tell
the Voice it’s policy to try to visit all new mums
within 10 days of birth.
BACK to Bayswater—how that council gets
anything done with all the political bickering
is beyond the Voice. The latest storm is over
political advertising on street benches and
bus shelters. Mayor Terry Kenyon wants it
all banned, but that angers the Liberal Party
(including Cr Sylvan Albert, a Liberal candidate
for the 2013 state election) because they’ve
already invested a bundle in street signage and
reckon the rule is targeted at them.
MT LAWLEY Lib Michael Sutherland punched
above his weight in the marriage stakes; his
wife’s gorgeous, elegant and petite. So when
security at a Perth Glory match confiscate her
Chanel deodorant on the grounds she might
turn into a fl ame-throwing hooligan, the MP is
understandably upset. “Soon we will have to
strip down naked at the turnstiles and undergo
a full body search,” he laments about our
increasing lurch towards Orwellia (although he is
a fan of increased police powers so go figure).
Isn’t there something
you’d rather be doing...?

NOVEMBER
PASSENGERS on the doomed
44 bus from Bayswater to
Perth reckon some dodgy
counting techniques are
behind the service’s looming
cancellation. Alan Erceg says
a driver told him Transperth
bosses had told him not to
count passengers who paid
with cash, which would mean
patronage would be artificially
lowered. Transperth says it only
uses SmartRider information on
surveys of all its routes because
it provides more information
(WTF?). Maylands Labor MP
Lisa Baker wants the service
reinstated and reckons it’s full
every day.
MAYLANDS traders are fed up with louts
fighting in their stores and call for police action.
One woman had to lock herself inside with
customers after a syringe is pulled during a
punch-up between two blokes. At first it’s not
enough to move police, who see this as just
a normal day in Perth—that should tell them
something—but someone gets in their ear and a
week later they’re promising additional patrols.
TRYING to text your mates to tell ‘em to come
to the awesome Beaufort Street Festival is
a bit of a struggle because so many of the
100,000-strong crowd are doing the same thing
the network wobbles
DECEMBER
PROSTITUTES are stealing knickers from
washing lines and douching themselves in pools
along Stirling Street. The street-walkers are in
such epidemic proportions that lurkers have
started thinking any woman walking the street is
for sale, which makes life miserable for harassed
female residents. Vincent mayor Alannah
MacTiernan says it’s horrific and is looking
at CCTV for the area. She also wants better
lighting but says it’s being held up by Western
Power, “a completely monopolistic organisation
and completely unresponsive to anyone”.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
With Mars in Aquarius, you are bound
to be doing things differently. If there’s
any chance of going up a left-hand path, you will
go. The moment you see a fl ock of sheep, you’ll run
counter to them – and it will annoy you if they follow
you. You are not a herd animal.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
To really be yourself, the truth has to be
taken into account. Whether your job
is to receive it, or deliver it, there’s a good chance
your tendency to go for comfort and contentment is
going to be at least marginally rattled. This is the best
kind of rattled. It will rejuvenate you.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
There’s plenty of energy available.
You have the wind in your sails.
Point yourself in the right direction and go for it. What
could be more simple? Watch for the tendency to
complicate matters. Laugh at that part of yourself
should it try to get a leg in. Forward ho!
CANCER (June 22 – July 22)
It’s a full Moon in Cancer. You could
hardly wish for anything more. The
universal tides are pulling in your direction, giving
you juice, energy and enough madness to push you
into creative action. Expand, stretch, play and open.
Your shell will be eclipsed by your sensitivity.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
The Moon is full. This is an intriguing
full Moon for Leos. It highlights the
push and shove between our need for connectivity
and independence. The more you can stand on
your feet, the more you will feel safe to melt and fl ow
in intimacy. Life is intrinsically paradoxical.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
Slowly and silently you are moving into
a position of infl uence. This is more
than you having charmed yourself into a plum role.
Life is putting the keys in your hands and asking you
to drive. Though it feels like you are being thrown in
at the deep end, you will swim.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
The full Moon is having a very
direct effect on Scorpios. It is
likely to provide the momentum required to drag you
through any situations that have ground to a halt, for
one reason or another. This is an existential gift to be
received gratefully. Jettison the habit of reluctance.

but please do not phone. Please keep your notices short and

ACTUALLY, the Voice was a
bit sexed up that week, and
not just because our reporter
did a cruise along Stirling Street
for research: We also report
that Perth city council wants
to crack down on dildos and
crotchless panties in sex shop
window displays, and the iconic
1972 porno Deep Throat is
cancelled from Rooftop Movies
because many found it too
objectionable—particularly after
star Linda Boreman revealed
she was forced to do the film
at gunpoint. There’s also a
brouhaha about a “massage
parlour” Vincent suspects
is offering sex services—
particularly when six burly
blokes emerged from the building, which has
approval for just one massage room.
POLITICAL parties on the left and right are in
unusual agreement—they both reckon local
councils are overstepping their jurisdiction in
trying to tame free speech. The Liberal Party’s
locked in a stoush with Bayswater council
over a proposed ban on streetside advertising,
while the Socialist Alliance is backing doctor
Kamala Emanuel who was charged with failing
to comply with a move-on notice in Perth after
rangers called in the cops during a protest
about gas fracking.
VINCENT’S getting its version of the Berlin
Wall, with the council planning to build a fence
between dog walkers and soccer players at
Forrest Park to try to end the years of bickering.
HAVE the fun-hating Taliban infiltrated
Bayswater? What else can explain the council’s
decision to ban street festivals six months
before an election? With three polls due next
year there’s sod-all room to squeeze one in.
Cr Alan Radford says the decision is to stop
candidates “grandstanding”, but the Voice
couldn’t help but think street festivals are a
logical place to learn about the people you’re
going to vote for—otherwise you might end up
with some berk who’ll ban street festivals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Venus and Mercury continue to fire you
up with insight and energy. There is a
tendency for your unbridled enthusiasm to tread on
toes. This leads you to being at loggerheads with
people you intended to have as allies. The full Moon
should help you to ease any hiccups.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s a full Moon in Cancer. No-body is
more in its line of infl uence than your
good self. With awareness, you have a chance
to integrate your anti-dependent side, with your
dependent side. Neither clinging nor unrestrained
aloofness are good. Be whole - and responsive.

Mars is firing up your engines and sending

Thankfully life has placed a fine sense of humour in
your pocket, which makes all misfires loveable and
forgivable. Though feeling uprooted, this hunt for
fresh foundations will bear fruit.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The full Moon in Cancer makes you
dance. The universe is making a very
loud statement, supporting your watery, intuitive
take on things. A fl ow can’t be organised in quite the
same way a pallet of bricks can be. You will never be
a pallet of bricks. Vive le difference!
