No quitting for McNeilly
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
A 61-year-old Stirling
man swam for more than
10 hours to conquer the
Rottnest Channel Swim last
weekend.

pond. Photo by John Nettleton
Jim McNeilly endured
countless jellyfish stings and
aching shoulders to complete
the 19.7km race in 10 hours, 16
minutes.
Some 221 swimmers started
the race but 36 dropped out of
the gruelling swimathon from
Cottesloe to Rotto.
McNeilly finished last—but
he doesn’t care.
“I was doing OK until I
got further out and then the
wake from the tankers started
battering me. I forgot about
them!” he laughed.
To prepare, Mr McNeilly had
swum five times a week for six
months.
Each week he covered 25km
in around nine hours.
He trained at the Terry
Tyzack Aquatic Centre and at
City Beach.
During the Rotto swim Mr
McNeilly was chaperoned by
six support crew, travelling
nearby in a catamaran and
kayak.
To keep his energy levels
up they plied him with sugarwater, bananas and water.
Race rules forbade him from
touching the boat or stopping
during the 10-hour paddle.
“I have completed the race
three times before in a quartet,”
he said.
“But this was the first time
I did it solo—it was tough
going.”
A team leader at Stirling city
council, Mr McNeilly raised

Site safety fears
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
NORTH PERTH residents are concerned
for their safety after a 14-metre roofing
sheet fl ew from a construction site along
a busy stretch of Fitzgerald Street.
The potentially lethal corrugated iron
crashlanded beside a car park on nearby
Wasley Street, just missing a tradie at a
cement mixer.
Steve Lowe heard a “boom” and ran out
to investigate, taking photographs of the
aftermath.
The Voice understands windy conditions
on February 16 could have caught roofers off
guard.
The four-storey site, located at the corner
of Wasley and Fitzgerald Streets, is being
developed into shops and offices.
Mr Lowe, a local resident and qualified
occupational health and safety rep, described
the site as a “time bomb”.
“I’ve seen lots of workers walking on the
roof with no harness on or hard hats on,” he
told the Voice.
“Workers are climbing down scaffolding,
the site is not secured at the weekend and
people are tripping up on uneven brickwork
outside.
“The site was a time bomb—a pedestrian
on Fitzgerald Street could have been killed by
that falling roof section.”
Mr Lowe said an on-site tradie had

confided the developers were using cheap,
cash-in-hand labour.
Mr Lowe reported the accident to both
WorkSafe and Vincent city council but hasn’t
heard back.
Worksafe spokesperson Caroline Devaney
confirmed the site was to be investigated.
Council CEO John Giorgi said the council
had had, “on-going issues with the site since
the development commenced”.
Following the incident a council technical
officer and ranger visited the site to discuss
issues including trip hazards, secure fences
and the clearing of footpaths.
“Most of the required actions have been
undertaken,” Mr Giorgi said.
“When the ranger went on-site he met two

The worksite, located on a busy strip
in Fitzgerald Street, has caused misery
for neighbouring businesses.
Last year the Voice was provided
with photos of nearby cars splashed
with cement, blocked footpaths and
cement dust pollution during dry
cutting operations.
The council halted work because the
builder didn’t have the required permit.

Cr John Carey has asked
council managers to look into
the feasibility of taking the
time-consuming and thankless
task off rangers so they can
get back to duties such as
dog management, abandoned
vehicles and shopping trolleys,
street traders, patrolling parks,
reporting graffiti, returning lost
pets and finding new homes for
strays.
“The number one issue I’m
dealing with as a councillor
is the parking issues—that’s
residents who feel they’re being
parked out by commuters,” Cr
Carey says.
“Generally people are happy
with the rangers, but rangers
cover a range of issues.
“What I’m suggesting is we
look at creating a dedicated
parking enforcement team
which would have only parking
enforcement officers and that

ROS HARLEY has lost a bid
to provide free parking for
ACROD sticker holders at
Perth Oval.
Every week when there’s a
game the parking around Perth
Oval is chockers and spectators
are charged $22 per vehicle to
park (there’s a discount if they
car pool).
Traditionally people with
disabilities were charged at the
lowest rate for carpoolers—$17.
Vincent city council staff
recommended lowering that to
$10, but Cr Harley wanted to
scrap it entirely.
Cr Harley, whose father has
an ACROD permit, says “they
don’t have the same transport
options as other people coming
to the game”.
“If an ACROD holder wants

stadium, I say to them: bravo.
It reduces traffic.... I don’t see a
problem.
“We need to express some
compassion for why people have
an ACROD sticker in the first
place.”
Cr John Carey agreed: “Let’s
just make it free. Let’s not be
stingy.
“Given they’re already facing
a disability we don’t want to
have a disincentive... that makes
them park further from the
gate.”
Cr Dudley Maier wanted
parkers with disabilities to pay
the same fee as everyone else,
saying ACROD bays were about
ease of access, not a price break.
“You could be Gina Rinehart
and be an ACROD holder and
you get a discount,” he said of
the staff-recommended proposal.
The council voted to charge
ACROD parkers $10.

Barking mad
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
A BAYSWATER ranger has
ordered Noranda residents
to leash their dogs, despite
signage indicating they were
in a dog-friendly reserve.

Our Property Managers

OUR FEES
Let’s be perfectly clear about our fees. Our fee is a flat fee of 10% all inclusive.
You pay no more. So if we lease your property for say $400 per week you get
$360 and we receive $40.
It’s as simple as that.
SAVINGS TO YOU
Holden Reserve is not on
the council’s list of dog exercise
areas but signs at the park show
bounding pooches.
Noranda’s Louis Marcus says
he’s been exercising his dogs
at Holden Reserve for 20 years
without problem.
“I’ve never had one
complaint about my dogs
running about the reserve,” he
said.
Cr Mike Anderton exercises
his black labrador on the reserve
every morning—off the leash.
“The attitude of some of the
council rangers was a bit off,” he
told the Voice.
“They descended on the
reserve and started ordering
people off in a rude manner.”
Following a fiery dispute
with the rangers, an irked
resident contacted Cr Alan
Radford with her concerns.
Cr Radford now wants a
review of all dog-friendly parks
in Bayswater to clear up any
confusion.
“Until we have a review I
think people should be able to
exercise their dogs off the leash
at Holden Reserve,” he said.
“But in general, I think it’s
time for a review of all the parks
and reserves.
“For instance, Robert
Thompson Reserve is classified
as dog-friendly but I think there
are too many kids playing there
for it to be safe—it’s like a large
children’s playground.”

The review comes in the wake
of Vincent residents pushing for
dog fencing around Jack Marks
reserve.
Arguments between dog
walkers and soccer players using
the reserve have gone back and
forth for years.
In April Vincent spent
$15,000 fencing the bike path at
Robertson Park after a pup was
run over by a cyclist, racking up
a $10,000 vet bill.

I AM not in the habit of
writing letters to the paper
but I just had to type a short
note to let you know how
much I enjoyed reading
Claire Yates’ Speaker’s Corner
article, The trouble with Dexta
(Voice, February 25, 2012).
I laughed till I cried. Then I
tried reading it to those around
me who were wondering what
on earth had overtaken me. I
think they laughed more at the
sight of me struggling to get the
words out!
I went through two very
large, extra-thick tissues.
Could you please thank Claire
from all of us who very much
appreciated her article. I hope
you have been able to send a
copy to the mechanics at the
Shell service station in Williams.

Small is

THE Perth Voice has raised
some very important
issues with regard to small
businesses and independent
retailers being priced out of
the local business districts.
Whilst market forces must
prevail, local governments and
residents have a responsibility to
enable the vibrancy of our innercity precincts.
Inner-city environs must
retain links to the past but also
refl ect contemporary society and
the need to adapt to the future.
Small markets, accommodation,
developments with shops on
the ground fl oor, public art,
pedestrian- and cycle-friendly
design elements all make for a
vibrant and exciting community.
We also need mechanical
workshops, tyre shops, scooter
shops, and petrol stations. The
kinds of things we like to use
but no-one wants next door. This
of course means allowing and
encouraging new commercial
developments in these precincts,
especially along our main
arteries including Beaufort,
William, Fitzgerald, Oxford and
Newcastle Streets. The more
commercial space the cheaper
the rent, the more diversity.
The Perth Centre for
Photography (PCP) (Voice,
February 18, 2012) is the latest
example of the rent squeeze.
Unfortunately this phenomenon
is squeezing the life out of our
arts community as well as small
retailers.
PCP is a not-for-profit
arts organisation that plays a
vital role in the Perth cultural
landscape, showcasing emerging
local, national and international
artists. A 20 per cent rent hike
almost spelled the end of PCP in
its 20th year.
Fortunately for PCP, the
Metropolitan Redevelopment
Authority (formerly EPRA) came
to the rescue with an offer of
premises at 100 Aberdeen Street.
PCP has now transformed the
premises into Perth’s newest
contemporary arts space.
The MRA has done an
amazing job in renovating the
inner city and has breathed new
life into a tired Northbridge.
William Street and surrounds is
now a vibrant city hub, offering
food, music, independent retail
and the arts. Perth people can
reclaim this space and enjoy an
exciting cultural precinct. This is
not luck, it’s good planning.
By providing the right
conditions, small businesses
and the arts can fl ourish. I
encourage readers to come and
see for yourselves—no need to
go to Sydney or Melbourne for
examples of what can happen
in the Vincent Villages, it’s
happening just up the road.

Chair, Perth Centre for
Photography
Facts please,
not verbal
fisticuffs
ORTHODOX scientists
believe their findings are
irrefutable thanks to their
rational thinking, free of any
emotional bias.
It is therefore surprising that
Mr S Harper (Voice Mail, February
18, 2012) should indulge in
abusive language to discredit
people who beg to differ from
his views on climate change,
instead of winning them over
with objective facts.
A difficult task no doubt,
given he seems to be a bit
confused on the issue. He
rejects the carbon dioxide
findings endorsed worldwide
by officially approved
scientists, and then refers to
empirical measurements which
scientists reject as invalid until
confirmed mathematically or
experimentally.
Given that heat energy
isn’t a substance that can be
identified tangibly, he too
ignores it completely. Yet it can
be measured and the air currents
it generates can be monitored:
Given that a large US power
plant burns up to six tons of
coal per minute, day in day out,
it is quite normal for people
to wonder where that wasted
polluting heat ends up.
There is no excuse to assume
our use of fossil fuel is irrelevant
to climate change: Prove it. As

Losing
temperances
I WELCOME the decision of
the WA liquor commission in
not agreeing to Woolworths’
proposal to build a
superstore in Cockburn.
A deciding factor infl uencing
that decision was the close
proximity of the youth centre
and the important issue of health
and the potential harm to youth
who attend the centre.
The commission has yet to
announce its decision in relation
to a similar proposal by Coles
to build a super liquor store in
Maylands.
We in the Maylands
community would welcome the
commission showing similar
sensitivity to our suburb.
We have many groups
working to provide valuable
services to people with alcoholrelated issues, for example
55 Central, Shopfront, Derbal
Bidjar and the Elizabeth Hansen
Autumn Centre.
The new super store would
seriously undermine the good
work of these groups.
It should also be noted that
we already have 15 liquor outlets
in a two-kilometre radius of the
proposed super store.
Given these facts I hope the
commission pays attention to the
needs and wishes of the people
of Maylands

“Three of us started there the
same day: Tom Kay, Eddie Plews and
myself. I never forget the interview.
We looked round the station with
Tom Guthrie who was the station
engineer at the time. He was the one,
as a side issue, he was president of
the East Perth Football Club. And
so, when they found a really good
candidate in the football crowd
in a country town, Mr Guthrie
would give them a job at East Perth
shovelling coal so that they could
play with East Perth Football Club.
We ended up with about five or six
players and an umpire all at East
Perth.” —Sid Clarke
“You had to be very careful in
those days putting on and taking
off plant [increasing or decreasing
power output]. You might be taking
off plant because there was one of
the soap operas or one of the popular
programmes on television was coming
to an end. But you had to anticipate
that, when it came to an end,
everybody would get up and make a
cup of coffee. All the billies went on
and the load would come up again.
Many of us were caught in that sort
of situation. Yes, it’s amazing how
television influenced the load on the
system.” —Bill Winch
“As soon as we turned 18, we
were called up for the army business:
conscription. Once we told them
what we did and where we were,
they said ‘oh no you’re totally
exempt whilst being employed by the
WAGR,” and gave us a white form.
Well, of course, we were a bit put
out by this, with being labelled as
deserters and frightened to go to the
army. My two best mates had gone
and anyway we had this white paper
which I wasn’t too happy with; so we
were stuck there for the duration.”
—Sid Clarke
History unplugged
“In December 1981 the
power station was finally
decommissioned,” Dr Layman
says. “It switched off all power
and that was it. But at that time
there was only a very small
workforce left there because East
Perth was not generating much
power into the grid at all.”
By then the new power
stations at Kwinana, South
Fremantle, Bunbury and Collie
had dwarfed the old workhorse.
“For the last five or so years
the East Perth workers had
known that East Perth power
station would be closed. They
could see the writing on the
wall... some left the industry but
most were redeployed.
by DAVID BELL
THE rugged history of the
East Perth power station
has been unearthed by local
historians.
Built in 1916 after three years’
construction, for decades it was
the only power station servicing
Perth’s main power load.
Mount Lawley’s Lenore
Layman edited Powering Perth,
and says she and the book’s
other contributors were spurred
to collect local histories because
the main players were shuffl ing
off this mortal coil.
“There are men’s stories
of working at the station, and
women’s stories of the take up
of electricity in the home,” Dr
Layman says.
She says women told her
stories about a time when every
house had just a single power
point, and if you wanted to do
some ironing you had to unplug
the home’s one light bulb and
plug the iron into the ceiling.
Absolute joy
“What they remember is the
absolute joy of acquiring the
fridge, the iron, the washing
machine.
“They talk about great joy,
how wonderful it was.”
But while many—aided by
advertisements—think these
inventions led to women having
more leisure time, Dr Layman
explains it really just freed them
up to enter the paid workplace
during WWII.
Men’s tales are of bitterly
hard physical work, but many
old timers said there was a real
camaraderie and remembered
the place with warmth.
“They said it was a good
place to work, which is an
extraordinary statement given
how dangerous, dirty, dusty and
coal-ridden it was, but it had
really good social relationships
amongst the men.”
Dr Layman says the workers
felt the weight of the city on their
• Lenore Layman
shoulders and that brought them
even closer: “They were the only
power station supplying all the
electricity for Perth, they were an
essential service. If they didn’t
keep the machines running then
the lights went out in Perth, the
trams stopped and the factories
stopped, so they really were
like an essential service, very
much I suppose like the medical
professionals or the fire fighters.
“Christmas Day, New Year’s
Eve, it didn’t matter: They
worked, and they also worked
over most weekends during the
war.”
Some of the hardest yakka
happened on weekends. When
the city’s factories closed there
was a window of low demand
between Saturday midnight
and Monday morning to make
necessary repairs to the main
turbine, the stalwart “number
six” that provided almost half
the station’s power.
At 5am Monday “they had
to get the number six turbine
running because that’s when
Hadfield’s Foundry’s electrical
arc furnaces and other main
industries switched on.”
East Perth shut down in 1981
but the workers had seen the
day coming from a ways off.
Skeleton
“They did it gradually over
a number of years, so at the end
there was just a skeleton staff.
“But East Perth remains
extremely important in the
system, because the East Perth
control centre is still the core
control centre for the whole
south-west integrated grid.”
Today the station is in ruins
with various plans to breathe
new life into it coming to
nothing.
Authorities no longer permit
people inside the derelict site,
which has had to be treated for
asbestos and noxious chemicals
that leached into its soil from
decades of coal slurry.
The former Labor
government had signalled siting
the new WA Museum at the
site but Colin Barnett shelved
that following the 2008 election.
Today the site sits in the hands of
the newly minted Metropolitian
Regional Authority. The
government wants to keep the
heritage buildings but hand the
place over to the private sector
to clean up and run. The high
cost has so far kept investors
away, despite the prime site.

FROM THE CHAMBER
PERTH lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi’s
election promise for wifi in the
city centre is going ahead following
a unanimous vote at last week’s PCC
meeting. The first stage will scout wifi
hub locations close to public spaces that
also encourage visitors to extend their
stay in the city. Ms Scaffidi referred to the
plan as “my baby” and says it’ll start with
hotspots but she eventually wants blanket
coverage. PCC wage-slaves will crunch
numbers and report back on likely costs
before July.
Perth city council
ANOTHER 170 vehicle detection
sensors will be installed in parking
bays across West Perth, Northbridge and
East Perth, at a cost of about $115,000,
joining 500 already being trialled. The PCC
says, hand on its heart, they’re for “data
collection” purposes only. The sensors
allow grey ghosts (do they still wear grey?)
to target over-stayers rather than randomly
fl oat about like Dementors, looking for
prey. The sensors have apparently already
improved compliance from 75 per cent to
85 per cent. “Some businesses/retailers
have expressed that there is a marked
improvement in turnover and availability
of bays. This has also been confirmed by
the statistical data,” the PCC report says.
BIG changes are on the way for some
of Northbridge with the allowable plot
ratio likely to increase from 2:1 to 3:1, and
even more for hotels. It could be a nice
little windfall for owners.
Sheds save lives

O L D t i m e r s i n B a y s w a t e r a re
campaigning for a men’s shed.
Baysey is shedless and men want a social
hub where they can meet, build spice racks,
drink tea and talk about footy.
There are more than 700 registered men’s
sheds across Australia.
The campaign is being spearheaded
by Osboine Contemporary Aged Care, a
residential home for the elderly.
Aged care coordinator Kim Sinclair says
it was initiated by a country bloke named
“Max”.
“One of our our residents is an ex-farmer
and loved tinkering about in his shed,” she
told the Voice.
“So his family approached us with the
idea about a men’s shed, and we canvassed
other male residents who were interested.
“It will be a great place for our male
residents to mingle with the wider
community and socialise.”
Other community groups gunning for
a shed include Lions Club Morley, Rotary
Morley and Men’s Shed Association
member Jim Chantry.
Mr Chantry says the underlying
foundation of any shed is men’s health.
“Men don’t talk about their feelings,
they prefer to tough it out,” he said.
“After a man retires he usually does the
big trip with his wife and then a feeling of

worthlessness kicks in when he’s sitting
about all day.
“This get’s you out of the house and
socialising with other blokes—it’s great.”
Famous sheddies include PM Julie
Gillard’s dandy Tim Mathieson, who’d
organised a “surprise shed” for partners of
world leaders during CHOGM.
Mathieson, patron of the MSA, claims

the sheds prevent 2000 suicides every year.
Bayswater city council is planning to
hold a community meeting to gauge the
level of interest.
In 2006 it approved a funding application
for a men’s shed and sensory garden at the
Morley Senior Citizen’s Centre. The council
returned the $22,719 grant in 2007 as the
project was not completed.

BAYSWATER is going all rad with a
BMX, scooter and skate competition
at Wotton skatepark.
BOOMSHANKA! will be held at
Wotton Reserve on March 31 and feature
live bands, infl atable castles and loads of
gravity-defying stunts.
Organiser Tim Yuen says a scooter
craze is taking hold at the moment with
“a lot of primary school kids and early
high-schoolers”.
“Skateboarding and BMXs tend to be
popular with a lot of people in their early
20s, but people of all ages will be taking
part at the competition.”
Yuen, 27, helped design the hugely
popular skatepark at Crimea Park.
After travelling the world for four
years (where he concedes he had “too
much fun”), he returned to Perth and
now works in child care.
But he still finds some time to get
out his skateboard and do some 360s in
Baysey.
The council is also running a
competition prior to the event.
Skate fans are required to shoot a
30-second film clip of skate, scooter or
BMX tricks and stunts at either Wotton or
Crimea skate parks, for the chance to win
an iPad.
Video clips will be available on the
council website from March 14 for public
voting with the winners announced
during BOOMSHANKA!.

The jacarandas have
been slowly introduced
to North Perth’s Wasley
Street as coral trees planted
over the past 30 years come
to the end of their lives.
Mr Lowe says he’d
prefer to see native trees
and shrubs planted on
verges.
“Native trees give more shade, they use
less water and native birds prefer to nest in
them,” he said.
“Why are we using jacarandas, when we
have native trees we can introduce?
“To plant one under a power line is just
adding insult to injury.”
Vincent CEO John Giorgi says the
council is listening to locals: “The majority
of requests from adjacent residents were to
plant jacarandas,” he said.

“This is the theme the city is
introducing in Wasley Street rather
than having a mixture of various tree
species which are then more difficult to
manage and aesthetically does not look
as effective as a streetscape of similar
species.
“The city has Australian and WA
native trees in many of its streetscapes
[but] being an established inner city area
the majority of established streetscapes
are mature and contain exotic species.”

Around 90 of a randomly invited
pool of 1000 residents showed up to
the deliberative democracy forum last
Saturday. The forum was an initiative of
mayor Alannah MacTiernan, who says she
wants to give locals more say in the future
of their city.
Four options were on the table:
• no change to Vincent’s borders;
• amalgamate with Perth city council;
• completely redraw adjoining council
boundaries to create a new city of 100,000;
• expansion of Vincent to include
one or all of:, “Mount Lawley, Menora/
Coolbinia, Inglewood, Maylands, East
Perth/Claisebrook”.
Most reportedly favoured expanding
borders to include some or all those
suburbs.
There were two main factors driving
people’s opinions. The most important
was “financial viability”—meaning no
excessive rate increases and sufficient
resources to maintain services like rangers
and bin collections. The other was that
people wanted the city to snap up the parts
of Stirling that had the most Vincenty feel.
Peter Kennedy is a Vincent resident
in the northern part of Mount Lawley
bordering Stirling, and attended the forum.
“I thought it worked pretty well,” he
says.
“Vincent is essentially a small inner-city
council, about 15 years old, and it’s a bit
peaceful. And if the government is keen on
having fewer councils, you’ve got to think
about what that means for you.
“If we have to get bigger, then we want
to have some sort of community of interest
with the adjoining areas.”
Expanding Vincent north past Walcott
Street makes sense, he says. Currently the
divide between Vincent and Stirling is

known as “the Berlin Wall” and leads to
strange things like 40kmh speed limits on
one side of Walcott Street and 60kmh on the
other. There’s also the street art: Stirling’s
gone for blue and white art deco. Vincent’s
going for an artist-led mashup of New Yorkstyle sculpture and furniture.
“You’ve got Vincent responsible on one
side and Stirling on the other. That doesn’t
make sense to me,” Mr Kennedy says.
“You need to have consistent speed
limits for a start, perhaps better parking so
you have less onstreet parking so the traffic
can move through more easily without
bottlenecks in the morning and afternoon
peaks.”
A bigger council will also have a louder
voice when it comes to public transport
issues, like the planned light rail down
Alexander Drive/Fitzgerald Street.
Mr Kennedy says he was pleasantly

surprised to see people were more interested
in taking over the parts of town that felt
more like Vincent, rather than going for the
bits of Perth city council that would bring
in big bucks from high rates.
A veteran journo who’s covered politics
across four decades, Mr Kennedy says it
was refreshing to see a council involve
ordinary people, and was glad to see a good
turnout of locals interested in how they’re
governed.
“Full marks to the Vincent council for
doing it,” he said.
“They were well organised, there wasn’t
any messing around... the discussion and
so on was well led, and I think there was a
general good feeling about it.”
Ms MacTiernan says Vincent will
now include the locals’ opinions in its
submission to the WA government, which
has been pushing councils to merge.

2012 CENTENARY CELEBRATION
KEEP Oliver away from chooks and
duck if you see Matthew messing with
reality.
Nothing is as it seems through the lenses
of these two young photographic artists
whose works go on display in Perth next
month.
Oliver Oakley, 20, of Coolbinia, and
Matthew Saville, 23, of Northbridge, will
exhibit their collection at Smart Space in
William Street, Perth, from March 17 to
April 8.
Pear consists of works-in-pairs, each
exploring the common ground between
two seemingly different images.
“Oliver doesn’t see things the same
as me, but I like the way he sees things,”
Matthew says, having met Oliver at the 2011
CLIP Awards at the Centre for Photography
in Perth. “We are on the same page but do
things differently.
I like to see what
happens when you
mess with reality.”
Oliver says he
produces separate
images while
Matthew blends his
into collages, using
film and d i gi t a l
cameras to capture
striking and often
subtle connections
between objects.
“I’m pretty
democratic about
what I choose to
shoot,” Oliver told
the Voice. “In fact, I
don’t really choose.
It’s kinda like how
I take photographs,
rather than what I
take a photo of.”
Which could explain why Oliver recently
became interested in the almost human-like
surfaces of two raw chooks. “I was out at
the shops and saw a deal on two whole
chooks,” he explains. “I decided to take
them home to photograph. I put them in
positions and let them slide off each other.”
Oliver lists his surroundings: “That’s

why I got myself a camera. I wanted to
explore what I saw using equipment that
doesn’t have to be sophisticated.”
Matthew, who has toured the US with
Tame Impala as their photographer and
worked with Perth bands The Silents and
Pond, lists Nan Goldin and Ryan McGinley
as his infl uences.
Having studied design in London,
Matthew says he wants to take the pointand-shoot approach to photography to a
new level that focuses on a world largely
unseen by people.
Common themes in his works include
freedom, identity and desire: “Pear adds
another dimension to this idea,” he explains
in the collection brief. “It is about parallels
that you may not have otherwise noticed.
“You can see that the commonalities
between the paired images are striking in
some instances but subtle in others.
“Yet in all of them, you will see a dialogue,
a back and forth motion, an interconnection,

Elected in 2008, Mr
Sutherland—at the time Perth’s
deputy lord mayor—won the
newly formed seat of Mount
Lawley after beating Labor ’s
highly-fancied Karen Brown, a
senior journalist.
“I’ve always known I’m going
to have a fight on my hands,” Mr
Sutherland says calmly.
“I’m not going to make
any comments about another
candidate. My motto is don’t
worry about what opposition
does, worry about what you’re
doing.”
He enjoys a narrow 2.2 per
cent margin but the borders of
his electorate have since been
redrawn and ABC election analyst
Antony Green has suggested the
margin is now 1.7 per cent.

‘If Mount Lawley goes, the Liberal party
will go down the toilet’ Michael Sutherland MP
Mr Sutherland says Mount
Lawley will be a key indicator for
how the Liberals fare at the next
election.
“If Mount Lawley goes, the
Liberal party will go down the
toilet,” Mr Sutherland says.
While the Barnett team was
riding high and confident of an
easy return to government with
Eric Ripper at Labor ’s helm,
there’s reportedly some worry
in the ranks about the newly
energised Mark McGowan-led
opposition.
Mr Sutherland says his strength
is his hard-won reputation as
the man on the ground, heavily
involved with sports and seniors
clubs and school events.
There have been some
frustrations during his first term.
Locals are still coming to him
concerned about low-level antisocial behaviour like graffiti and
other vandalism.
The tough-on-crime Liberal
thinks his party is best equipped
to deal with the problem but he
niggles at the pace of change.
He’s similarly frustrated by
how long it takes councils to do
things.
“I’m disappointed with the
very slow progress of the Stirling
council on Dianella Plaza,” he
says.
“That should be a regional hub.
It’s taking far too long.”
Last week Mr Kucera told
the Voice that if he won the seat
one of his strengths would be
working well with the Labor
mayors of Stirling and Vincent—
David Boothman and Alannah
MacTiernan.
Mr Sutherland says he’s yet
to work with Ms MacTiernan on
anything but reckons they’ll get
along fine when it comes up.
Sign

lollipop
man
“I am delighted that
I have been able to have
these electronic speed
signs installed,” he said.
“Many motorists
inadvertently pick up
speed coming down the
hill [and] these signs
will assist motorists as
they are a highly visible
reminder of the 40-kay
school zone.”

Year of the Dragon
I
’D heard good things about
the Fat Dragon from our
cockney sales rep Andy
“the geezer” Archibald—a
man who’s had more “number
69s” than Ron Jeremy.
The geyser could sell shampoo
to Peter Garrett so, after some
blarney from him I entered the
dragon last weekend.
The Mt Lawley restaurant
opened in January and has already
secured a high-profile following,
including the bling of Lisa Scaffidi.
“My favourite dishes are Snag
Choy Bow (they do it with duck)
and the Kung Pow Chicken ,” the
Perth lord mayor was happy to
impart.
“...the whole venue is
contemporary and the food is
simply delicious.”
After such a glowing
testimonial I was practically
drooling onto my sporran.
The Fat Dragon signage is
reminiscent of a poster from
Kill Bill: Blood-red with a white
raggedy font.
The interior prolonged the
theme, with walls and floors
alternating between black and red,
like a faulty traffic light.
It felt contemporary yet slightly
old-school, with a tattooed girl
adorning the rear wall (artwork,
not a waitress).
FOOD
STEPHEN POLLOCK
The menu was compact and
contained a nice mix of Aussie
favourites (sweet and sour pork,
honey king prawns) and more
esoteric fare (Peking pork chops,
Malaysian Kari curry).
I decided to stray from my
western comfort zone and ordered
the patagonian toothfish with XO
sauce ($27.50), while ‘er indoors
went for the crab meat egg foo
young ($24.80).
Both dishes were in the Fat’s
top 10 recommendations.
As an overture we chose
wonton soup ($6.80) and duck
and shitake dumplings ($10.40).
The wonton soup, six
dumplings bobbing up and down
in a translucent broth, tasted fresh
and fragrant.
The generous portions and
fl avours (no lonely pastry adrift
a greasy ocean) fuelled my
optimism for the main course.
The crispy duck dumplings
were addictive and complemented
by a chilli sauce that wasn’t too
intimidating.
In between courses ‘er indoors
scanned the tables for a glimpse
of Madame Scaffidi, but those
golden tresses were nowhere to
be seen.
“Maybe she’s at home watching
Midsomer Murders,” the good lady
sighed.
The smiley waiter was soon enroute with our mains, zig-zagging
past amorous couples.
The wok-seared toothfish was
an imposing, crunchy-skinned
fillet. A few tentative bites
revealed a strongish, fatty fish
that occupied the twilight zone
in between cod and barramundi.
The XO sauce (a spicy seafood
sauce popular in Cantonese dishes)
added mild heat, maintaining my
interest for the duration of the
dish. It was a pleasing detour that
rewarded an adventurous spirit.
Meanwhile, the good lady was
wading through her foo young: an
enjoyable dish where occasionally
the delicate crab was bullied by an
over-zealous yolk.
Those seeking good service and
unpretentious food, brimming
with fl avours, will enjoy the Fat
Dragon.
In the words of the geezer: “It’s
bootiful”.

IXTEEN is the most awkward of
ages.
An emotional tightrope between
bubble gum and night clubs.
Savannah Fleming took her adolescent
angst and channelled it into a series of
revealing self-portraits.
He work is a naked jumble of
emotions: Laughter, sorrow, joy and
everything in-between. German
expressionism meets Glee.
Fleming’s description of her selfimage is detached and esoteric: “I tried
to shy away from any typically beautiful
images and instead portray the unseen
expressions – many of which are not
fl attering in the least,” she told the Voice.
“Aside from being a lot more fun to
draw, I chose the exaggerated expressions
because they forced me to come to terms
with my own face as representative of me
and my expressions as my primary means
for communication and connectivity with
others in the world.”
Her work turned heads and is now
being shown in Year 12 Perspectives at WA
Art Gallery.
Fleming painstakingly created seven
dry-paint etchings for the exhibition.
Each took around three hours to make,
with many false starts and duds cast
aside.
She filled in narrow fissures with a
cheap ballpoint pen.
“For me, the etching medium was an
Self at 16
• Savannah Fleming strikes one of the poses for her self-portrait Rechts um die ecke.

obvious choice, as with the fine etching
tools I can aptly portray all the subtle
nuances of the face and create tone and
form without having to overwhelm the
image with colour.”
Fleming is infl uenced by British artist
David Hockney (A Bigger Splash), who
achieved fame with his pop art paintings
in the 1960s.
But it was a book of his figurative
pencil drawings that stimulated her
imagination.
She also cites Auguste Rodin, the
godfather of modern sculpture, as a
classical hero.
Now 17, Fleming has just enrolled in
fine arts at Curtin University.

The artist would like to work in 2D
animation and emulate the achievements
of her favourite anime director Satoshi
Kon (Perfect Blue).
Meanwhile, Fleming leaves us with
a chilling thought: “Honesty is a major
theme in my work. With such fine-tuned
control over our faces, how can we ever
be honest with others or trust that their
expressions too, are truthfully expressing
how they feel?”
Year 12 Perspectives is at WA Art

BAYSY’S GOT TALENT—Singers are sought
from the Mount Lawley, Leederville and Bayswater
areas to sign up for solo roles, ensemble pieces and
choral songs for a new production crossing Mozart’s
romantic comedy opera Cosi fan Tutte with the 1960s
Las Vegas songs of the Rat Pack. Frank Sinatra, Dean
Martin and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, together
at last! It’s like mixing frozen peas and doughnuts!
The play will draw some parallels between Cosi fan
Tutti’s plot and the Rat Pack’s misogynistic attitudes
towards women. “Above all, we want to emphasis
the comedy in this opera and have some fun with it,” director David Hardie says.

FRANCOFILMOFILE— New French movie A Happy Event (La Salle de Bain
c’est Bon) is an intimate look at a woman’s most joyous and terrifying life
experience: first time motherhood. A graduate student’s thesis writing is disrupted
by a baby falling out of her, and she struggles to connect with the child. Getting
reviews as a funny and taboo-breaking film, it opens at Cinema Paradiso and
Luna on SX March 21 to April 19.
YA? YA!—You should check out the newish James Street music venue Ya
Yas, because sells what must be some of the cheaper pints in Northbridge.
Also, the shows they put on aren’t half bad. Wednesday March 7 there’s a Whitney
Houston Tribute Night with DJs competing to break down her songs in the most
“DTF” way possible. No idea what that means, but if you head along you can
get your hair and makeup done by Head Studio on the night.
VENNERABLE—In the medieaval era artists tried to understand the
unknowable through sublime and grotesque imaginings alike, with
tales of sorcery and miracles infesting the medieval mindset. A church
in those days looked more like the set from an early Sam Raimi film, with
demons and undead and horrible creatures scaring people closer to god.
Now four artists revisit those strange days with A Magnificent World.
Duo Pia Bennett and Joshua Fitzpatrick piece together found imagery
into paintings, linocuts and sculpture evoking beauty and bestiality of
the bygone world, Theo Costantino disrupts and distorts found images
into notions of embodiment, death, transience and memory, and Anna
Nazzari refl ects on the mediaeval belief that the world is explainable
through an “omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent” creator with her
series of vampire hybrid animals. A search for meaning in the dark ages
of knowledge, it’s on at the Venn Gallery, 16 Queen Street Perth, until
March 16.

Coming from often violent regimes,
some women find it difficult to stand up
for themselves when facing the health
system, CMWA boss Pippa Brennan says.
But having experienced home birth in
refugee camps many prefer hospital.
The program also offers doulas,
volunteer student midwives, who offer
non-clinical support during pregnancy.
Instead of seeing doulas as rivals
to midwives they are often vital,

If you are serious
about security
DON’T LEAVE HOME
WITHOUT IT!
Worried about keeping your home safe and
secure while you’re on holidays,
at work or even in the house?
The most important item in making your home safe
from intruders is often overlooked when security is
considered. Of course it’s your meterbox!
The meterbox is like the heart of your home - without
power you have no lights, no cordless phone, no electricity and in some cases no security system
Thieves can switch off your power at the meterbox
just to see if you have an active alarm system. Don’t
rely on back-up batteries - they frequently fail because the use by date has been overlooked. Thieves
would much rather go elsewhere than rob your home
if the meterboxes are professionally locked up by the
Meterbox Man.
Locking your meterbox is recommended by the
Police, Western Power, Alinta Gas, RAC and all
insurance companies. So for peace of mind and a
safer home call the Meterbox Man.

The real deal on the Loop
E
VERYONE dreams of owning a
house with a pool.
But the reality is often a dreary
facsimile of the image in your brain: A
murky crater that drains money and is
adorned with russet leaves.
This Maylands house is the real deal,
with a designer Infinity pool that overlooks
Lake Brearley.
The edge of the pool suddenly drops
into the mouth of the reservoir, an inky-blue
abyss fringed with trees and high-rise fl ats.
It gives the impression of being in a
pool within a pool, like one of those neverending Russian dolls that explodes into
the horizon.
Flanking the pool is a small decking
area, which can accommodate a couple of
loungers and a small table.
It is the perfect spot for sipping Brandies
Alexander and reading Barbara Cartland
after a refreshing dip.
For those who regard home pools
as a fiddly expense, this beauty has an
automated pool cleaner, solar heating and
chlorinator.
Flanking the pool area is a huge
limestone alfresco area (30sqm) where you
can towel-down and bake in the sun.
Another house-highlight is the
mammoth first-floor balcony (35sqm),
where you can enjoy panoramic views of
the lake.
ESTATE
STEPHEN POLLOCK
The balcony, clad in terracotta
and arctic-blue tiles, is eyecatching and complemented by
a demure balustrade.
It is a perfect spot for hosting
dinner parties with friends,
family, and hungry interlopers
who turn up unannounced.
The interior has been designed
to maximise the potential of the view:
Full-length windows, traversed by thin
beams, ensure you can spot every eddy and
coruscating ripple.
The main living area is impressive with
polished sheoak fl ooring creating a huge
timber mirror that bounces light off the
four walls.
Needless to say this house has a premium
finish and lots of extras, including Smeg
cooking appliances, a media room and
reverse-cycle air conditioning.
The kitchen, featuring granite benchtops,
is particularly fetching and has plenty of
room to rustle up dinner-time manna.
The main bedroom is a corker with a
large ensuite and walk-in robes. The ensuite
features double vanities and a large corner
spa that could accommodate a small village.
The other three bedrooms don’t disappoint
and employ a neutral, relaxing colour
scheme. All three bathrooms are spacious
and stylish.
In terms of parking, this home includes
a double-lockup garage.
For middle-aged men who like to spend
hours smashing their balls, Maylands
Peninsula golf course is only a chip-andrun away. The rest of the family can enjoy
exploring cycle paths and trails that lead to
the Swan River and East Perth.
Prospective buyers will be seduced by
the prospect of sitting in that pool and
gazing at a casino pink sunset.

LIFE IS GREAT AT THE GABLES
Very hard to find land available this close to the city in this price range, so look at this fantastic
selection of land available. It’s nestled in a quiet leafy street close to the train and shops, cleared
ready to build and we also can provide preliminary plans of homes suitable to fit these blocks. So
for a very attractive combined price, you can now get a brand new home instead of a villa. Call me
now to secure your choice before they are gone.
This second floor apartment could be your ticket to the future either as your first step onto the real
estate ladder or as a brilliant investment to add to, or start your property portfolio. This secure, well
maintained block of apartments has long been sought after, mainly due to the good sized units that
are easy to rent out and get a good return. The other reason is the top location in this exceedingly
popular suburb. With a neutral décor throughout, there is plenty of space and a well-designed floor
plan. There are wooden floors with a modern functional kitchen and upgraded bathroom. The
bedrooms are both well-proportioned and the balcony adds space to the open plan design.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
If you start from a relaxed place
and are natural in your efforts, then
harmony will prevail. The moment you get tense and
try to push against nature, then you’ll get tangled in
assorted briar patches. The planets simply won’t
allow you to burn rubber minus awareness.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
Femininity serves you well. If you are a
woman, access the very core of your
nature. If you are a man, soak up all that the women
around you are offering. Get friendly with moods
and moonlight, longing and feeling. If you can, your
life will be all the richer.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
Life is returning to some degree of
normality. Even though the Pisces
Sun is reinforcing nebulousness and longing,
something inside feels like it has found an old and
familiar pulse. Wonder, curiosity and communication
are your strengths. Play to them.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22)
The Moon starts the week in Cancer.
The Sun is in Pisces. This should have
you in clover. Your heaven rests on life, energy, love,
creativity – whatever - moving and flowing. The
planets and stars suggest that this is one of those
moments. Forget resistance. Go with it.
• Sharron Ashworth—underwent a journey from TV to retail. Photo by David Bell
Awfully big adventure
B
EAUFORT STREET is
sounding like a tough
beat lately, with a few
independent stores in the
past year moving out to
escape high rents and quiet
streets.
But there are success stories
scattered about. On a Thursday
morning not long after opening
time, Awfully Gorgeous has
a half-dozen customers in its
small shop front, looking over
the stylish array of clothes,
jewellery and homewares.
Owner Sharron Ashworth
happily reports that business
has grown 25 per cent since she
opened last July.
“It’s expanding faster than I
imagined,” she says.
“I just think there’s always
TRADERS
DAVID BELL
things the big chain stores don’t
offer that the little independent
stores do offer.”
While we’re chatting one
eavesdropping customer chimes
in, “the big stores give me a
headache”.
Ashworth’s store has
plenty on offer and it’s hard
to pin down a theme between
the clothes, jewellery and
homewares, beyond things she
herself finds stylish.
“I handpick everything,
I don’t tend to buy off the
internet. I prefer to go and touch
and pick and feel.
“It’s kind of a bohemian chic
sort of thing. I’m trying to cover
all shapes and budgets.
“It’s the sort of shopping I
like to do myself: Pick myself up
something, and a gift too.
“It’s nice to have a mixture,”
Ashworth says.
But of her three lines, the
clothing has been most popular.
The jewellery pulls its weight
(long term she intends to
expand this side of things in
response to customer demand).
The homewares is puttering
along.
One of the problems of
independence is clothing
wholesalers want people like
Ashworth to buy big numbers
of clothes in different sizes,
which is difficult for small
business budgets to cover.
The shop is a pretty big
change for the woman who’d
spent decades in TV, most
recently as an ABC producer,
organising funding for
documentaries.
“I’ve been working in TV for
28 years and I felt like I wanted
a change, something that’s a bit
creative.
“It was a huge step, it’s a lot
of work, and it’s still evolving.”
As for choosing to open in
Beaufort Street, Ashworth says
“I’ve lived in the area for 25
years, and I knew it had to be
here.”

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
You might feel like you are standing on
a hill, holding on to flagpole that you feel
you have to defend to the end. Bearing in mind that
now would be a good time for you to open up in
relationship, this could be problematic. Let go of
taking a hard line.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
By slowing you down, Saturn has
opened you up to emotions and
feelings that are utterly in tune with the ambience of
the day. Though you may have struggled, as life has
brought you down this narrow lane, now you get to
taste the fruits. Sensitivity is your prize.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
Truth is your love affair. Even
when others feel you are being
obstreperously obstructive, in your heart and
mind you are going for honesty. The truth is not an
intellectual or academic thing. It’s emotional and felt.
The Piscean Sun is opening doors for you. Go in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The goalposts keep moving. If you try to
nail circumstance down, then life will get
frustrating. Move with the goalposts. As the rules
change, go with the shift. The moment you become
fixed, everything comes unstuck. You’re mutable.
Be mutable! Stay feather-light.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Forget impulsiveness. It will only lead
you up a goat track, so to say. Go with
the steady undercurrents that you trust. When you
move from a relaxed starting point, your intuition
stays intact and keeps you on the right path. Your
sixth sense is potent. Trust it.

There’s a lot around that could
make you feel like a stranger in
a strange land. You’ll be fine if you can let your
emotions flow. If you block them, or anybody else’s,
then the cosmic gears could crunch and give you a
karmic kangaroo hop. Soften any hard edges.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
As others brood and ponder, gently move
towards your friends, your tribe. There’s
a guidance- system inside that is programmed to
put you in the right place, with the right people to
encourage expansion. Let it do its work. Listen to it.
It’s time to be in that place.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The Sun is with you. It is offering you
the gift of strength and centring. It is
giving you presence. It is helping you to celebrate
your particular individuality. In loving yourself, love
is invited close. Let the Moon provoke you into a
satisfying emotional adventure.
