Seeking
the ugly
truth
by DAVID BELL
THE Beaufort Street Network
wants to hear “the good,
the bad and the ugly” about
the street so it can keep
improving it.
Network chair Pam Herron
says Beaufort Street has seen
some big changes over the past
few years, such as murals, new
trees, public art, the colourful
Beaufort Street sign and the
quirky bathtub planters. Her
group’s also set up the popular
Beaufort Street art market
and handles the yearly street
festival.
But the street’s also had its
troubles. Gentrification sees rent
rise. Landlords sit on empty
buildings awaiting princely
rents (which may never come).
Independents get priced out by
lucrative bars and restaurants,
meaning daytime trade suffers.
The quirky stores pack up and
leave, and soon it’s only chains
that can afford the rent.
Now the network’s hoping
locals will come along for a
walk down Beaufort Street and
share ideas for how to make it
better. It’s on Wednesday May
6 at 6pm, and the details (and
a passive survey for folks who
don’t want to walk) are at www.
beaufortstreet.com.au/tell-us-whatyou-think
course and yacht club.
Cr Terry Kenyon, the
former mayor, says the
council should buy back the
riverside cafe it sold to the
rowing club.
“As far as I know the
rowing club only meet there
one day a week and for the
other six days it sits empty,”
he told colleagues.
“We should negotiate
with them about buying out
their 25-year lease, rather
than spending $20,000 on
another foreshore study.
“We have dilly-dallied
long enough on this.”
Cr Michelle Sutherland
also bemoaned the council’s
10-year procrastination.
“We’ve been operating at
a snail’s pace on this one,”
she says.
“We need to get the
ball rolling and could even
use some of the existing
infrastructure down there.”
Cr Sutherland said the
toilets were a “bit dicey” at
the rowing club but agreed
the premises could be
converted into a decent cafe.
Sea container cafes
are as popular as bushy
beards and jam jars and
can be found in Fremantle,
Cockburn and at Tomato
Lake, Belmont.
Cr Stephanie Coates
says the council should
take a look at Muvbox, a
pop-up shipping container
restaurant that can be easily
moved about.
Muslim
Pride
struts
the stage
‘this concept doesn’t even exist,
they don’t acknowledge it... most
people see it as ‘you fell and
bumped your head’ and got a
strange idea.’
by DAVID BELL
BEING queer, young and Muslim is like
being a “crescent-shaped peg” fitting into a
“Southern Cross-shaped hole” according to
new theatre troupe Third Culture Kids.
Writer Dure Khan, originally from
Peshawar in Pakistan, based her new play
Once We Were Kings on her experiences with
other young people navigating their way
through being queer and Muslim in Australia.
Director Mustafa al Mahdi says “most
people in the Muslim community, if they
don’t fit in they usually don’t rock the boat,
they keep it to themselves.
“They’re forced to keep multiple social
circles: there’s the religious circle, the social
circle, and their nightlife or queer circle, and
they never overlap... they try to keep links
with their families and culture, but that
contrasts with who they are and want to be.”
Some even maintain two Facebook
accounts to keep family sequestered from
their queer identity.
These days much of mainstream Australia
supports gay rights (about 70 per cent want
marriage equality) but for Muslim kids
coming out there are still many hurdles.
“Some of the Christian queers might
just have to break through one barrier, the
religious barrier,” al Mahdi says.
“The real interesting thing about queer
Muslim youths is they’re not just battling

religious conflicts, the conflict
is three tiers: the first is social
expectations, then cultural
expectations, then religious
expectations, and being queer is
opposing all three.”
Parents who grew up overseas
have a tough time understanding:
in many middle-eastern countries
there’s not even the words for
someone to express they’re queer.
In 2007, Iran’s then-president
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proudly
proclaimed there were no
homosexuals in his country.
“It’s not even in the
vocabulary,” al Mahdi says. “For
them this concept doesn’t even
exist, they don’t acknowledge it...
most people see it as ‘you fell
and bumped your head’” and got
a strange idea.
For queer kids growing up
without that reference point “the
worst thing is the confusion...
here the queer community know
what they are, they know what’s
being opposed and they know
what to fight back with”.
They’ve had a bit of backlash
even before the performance hit
the stage: al Mahdi says he’s been
told “you are defacing Islam,”
and the troupe initially had
trouble getting a male actor to
take part (along with the queer
subject matter, some complained
that in one scene there was
a woman leading prayer,
“unacceptable” to conservative
Muslims).
Khan is hoping the project
starts a conversation: “I also
hope it helps other queer or
questioning Muslims find
themselves and one another. We
are not haram (forbidden),” Dure
says, “and we are not alone.”
The troupe’s been surprised
by the number of people keen
to come on board: “This project
is kind of like a beacon, a light
in the sky, they see it and they
have the courage to come out,”
al Mahdi says. “Even though
it’s very small, it is a means of
support.”
He’s optimistic about the
future for queer Muslims. He
says the internet is opening
things up in a huge way. During
the Cold War, American rock
and roll tapes were smuggled
behind the iron curtain at great
risk. Today, the internet is a big
fat firehose of culture that’s near
impossible to plug.
“So much has changed
because of the internet, the
internet levels the field,” al
Mahdi says. He can now go pretty
much anywhere in the world and
drop a pop culture reference and
have it be understood, and it’s
becoming impossible to shield
people from queer realities.
“For the next generation, it’s
almost impossible to turn a blind
eye to it. These ideas only survive
on fear and ignorance, and fear
and ignorance can be cleared out
with the internet.”

Pooches need
foster parents
by DAVID BELL
DOG-fostering has helped
Maylands woman Christine
Jones recover from a violent
dog attack that injured her
and killed her pooch, Jeremy.
It’s almost five months since
two great danes attacked her on
Railway Parade in Maylands,
killing her little kelpie/King
Charles cavalier cross who had
been named after Jeremy Irons.
In the months since, she’s had
a little friend helping her on the
road to recovery: a foster dog
named Muppet who needed to
get out of the Shenton Park dog
home and get some extra care in
the lead up to surgery.
Muppet turned up a bit of a
cheeky boy but Ms Jones says
she let him know straight away
that mischief (and couch time)
was off limits. Even if she’d be
happy to have him cuddle up on
the couch, Muppet’s new family
might have strict rules and he
needs good behaviour to be
adopted.
Time out of the shelter is also
important for dogs looking for
forever homes: if they spend
too long in the kennel they can
get nervous and stressed, which
doesn’t make them appealing to
a new family.
Ms Jones says after Jeremy
was killed “this place felt like
a morgue. It didn’t feel like a
home anymore, it felt empty”.
“It was just a house. I
couldn’t enjoy my garden, I
let all my plants die. I thought
what’s the point of having a
garden if there’s no dog in it?”
Many dog fosterers end
up keeping their pooch (“it’s
called ‘foster failure, adoption
success’,” Ms Jones says),
but she says Muppet is very
adoptable and she’d prefer to
keep working with dogs who
need help.
Her first foster dog was Ernie,
who she nursed palliatively
through a terminal illness.
“I can’t say I haven’t thought
about [adopting Muppet]... but
it’s not about me, it’s about him,
and I reckon he’d be happy with
someone who can exercise him
every five minutes. And I don’t
think there’ll be any problem
with him getting a home. I see
my role as looking after them
until they get to that stage.”

Vegie patch parks plan
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
YOU might soon see
Bayswater locals nibbling
on yams and beetroots in
local parks after the council
approved the creation
of edible gardens on its
reserves.
The council will develop
a policy that lets locals turn
designated areas into fruit and
vegie patches.
“This is all about empowering
locals to take ownership of their
parks,” says Cr Chris Cornish.
“They will be able to take
under-utilised areas and plant
Eat for
Nepal
low-maintenance stuff, like
capsicums, and bay leaf and
lemon and orange trees.
“The areas don’t have to
be fenced off and locals can
plant where there is existing
infrastructure and reticulation:
so it won’t cost council much.”
Cr Cornish also won support
to allow residents to transform
their verges into vegie patches
(Voice, April 10, 2015), although
Cr Stephanie Coates expressed
concern about the presence of
insecticides and fertilisers, as
well as pollution if foodie verges
are on busy roads.
“We need to make sure
the officers develop a
E X P E R I E N C E
comprehensive policy on this
one,” she said.
Cr Terry Kenyon was worried
the council might be publicly
liable if a passer-by tripped over
a verge beetroot, but Cr Cornish
noted a two-metre setback was
required for clear pedestrian
access.
In a wide-ranging “green”
motion, councillors also voted
to advertise for expressions of
interest for a community garden.
“The concept has been around
for years,” Cr Barry McKenna
said. “But I think that with the
rise of Men’s Sheds it will be
good for retired men who don’t
want to do wood or metal work.”

per cent art
by DAVID BELL
BIG developers operating
in the Perth CBD may soon
have to shell out one per cent
of the cost of their projects for
public artworks, and more
Aboriginal art may one day
grace the streets.
Perth city council is playing
catchup with Vincent and
Bayswater councils in floating
the idea for its own per cent for
public art scheme.
In Vincent the scheme
has paid for works like the
Hollywoodesque Beaufort
Street sign, the Chen Wen Ling
sculpture on Vincent Street, and
the questionable OMG outside
the Beaufort Street McDonalds.
The PCC reckons it needs
more cash for artworks (though
not stated quite so succinctly
in the bulky bureaucratic draft
strategy) and putting a hat out to
the private realm is a good way
to “enhance aesthetic appeal of
developments within the city”
and “invite more people into the
city”.
With developments in the
CBD in the tens and sometimes
hundreds of millions of dollars,
even a one per cent commission
can mean serious art.
Council staffers are keen
to “ensure that the Aboriginal
community has a voice and a
presence in the city’s enduring
public art” (though not explicitly
called out in the document,
an enormous number of the
statues in the city are dead
white men—Alexander Forrest,
Bishop Hale, John Septimus Roe,
Captain Stirling, Edmund Rice
and Charles Court to name but
a few).
The draft’s up on the PCC
website for comment till May 15.

For those in this area who depend
on Transperth there was just no way
to be standing by the Eternal Flame
at sunrise. Everything depended
on having some means to get to the
train—no easy task if you live in
North Perth.
An uncle of mine served at
Gallipoli (Duley, M.G. S/N 12333,
New Zealand Rifle Brigade, KIA
France 21/2/1917) and I would have
been at Kings Park at dawn thinking
of him (and others) had it been
practicable. It was not! It would have
been easier to walk to Kings Park
than to get to the Esplanade train
station to catch a bus. Getting home
would have depended on buses
running a Sunday timetable which is
inadequate at best, or walking back.
Whoever dreamed up these
arrangements disenfranchised many
who live along one of the city’s main
northern arterial routes.
Shame on you!

Without
warning
THIS letter is to warn everyone
to be very careful when walking
dogs, and also to thank some
people who helped me through a
horrible trauma.
On December 7 in Railway
Parade, Maylands, I was walking
my dear little dog Jeremy when he
was viciously attacked by two great
danes, without any provocation
or warning. All three dogs were
leashed. I fought like a demon
against the two dogs to save him
but they were just too strong. I was
injured and am recovering slowly.
Jeremy was the sweetest,
friendliest, happiest dog I’ve ever
had. My brother described him as
a little package of anti-depressants.
He brightened the day of everyone
who crossed his path. I’d rescued
him from the pound and loved him
for 15 years. I had hoped he would
pass away peacefully in his sleep
instead of having to endure such a
nightmare. The woman walking the
dogs tried her very best to stop them
attacking but without much success.
She did eventually manage to get
the male off my boy but the bitch
was still attacking. A lady and a
gentleman passing by stopped to
help. The gentleman very bravely
held the male dog and helped to
tie it up against a nearby fence.
Meanwhile, I finally managed to get
the remaining dog off my boy, but by
this time my dear little Jeremy had
been literally ripped apart: he was
still alive but hanging on by a thread.
This letter is to thank those two
passers-by for their bravery and
kindness. I didn’t get their names so
I am hoping they or someone who
knows them will read this. Many
people would not have stopped to
help, and I’m sure it was a shocking
experience for both of them.
My dear Jeremy did not survive
the attack, but it would have been
even worse for us if they hadn’t

For our
next edition only
mail
stopped to help. I’d also like to
thank Bayswater ranger James. I was
housebound for months due to my
injuries, and he kindly visited me at
home. He also had to deal with the
owners of the attacking dogs, who
were shocked at what their dogs
had done. He was professional and
compassionate in a horrible situation.
He really is excellent at his job. I’d
like to thank Balcatta Veterinary
Hospital, for being open on a Sunday
night. Perth’s population of pets
and people is growing in leaps and
bounds, and we desperately need
more after-hours vets, and animal
ambulances.
The message I want people to
get from this is that these weren’t
so-called “dangerous breed” dogs,
owned by rotten people who let
them run wild. We had just been
walking past and my dog did
nothing to provoke them. I am a very
experienced dog owner and I know
dog behaviour. They gave absolutely
no warning; no barking, no growling,
nothing. These were well-cared for
dogs, owned and walked (on the
leash) by decent people. So this
could happen to anyone, and any
dog breed could attack. I’m sorry it’s
taken so long to write this, but I just
haven’t been able to face it. I still cry
every day for my boy.
If anyone has spare cash (or dog
food, dog coats, leashes, towels, etc)
they could make a donation to K9
Dog Rescue Group at www.k9.asn.
au, and that would be a kind way to
honour my dear Jeremy’s life.
Rest in peace my darling Jeremy.

Drop in bucket
I READ with interest the council’s
intent to spend up to $93,000
to restore Bungana and Brearly
lakes (Voice, April 25, 2015).
It is unfortunate that Mr Williams
believes these lakes are an eyesore
and a waste of money. We have lived
near the lake for three years and
could not wish for a better place.
The variety of birds is the outlook
is outstanding. Rarely a weekend
goes by where families, dog walkers,
bicyclists and couples don’t hang out
by these quiet and serene lakes.
Two-thirds of the lakes are either
covered in bush or parkland and
accessible to the public. I’ve even
seen some wedding parties have
their photos taken here.
Yes, they are an artefact of human
activities but we can’t change that.
They remain a nice, quiet spot in
Maylands. The reported $93,000 for
the upkeep of the lakes is a drop in
the bucket, considering the amount
in rates paid by the 300 or so houses
around the lake amounts to about
$300 per property and these lakes
have been here for more than 20
years.

AS a City of Bayswater ratepayer
I—and I’m certain other
ratepayers—are grateful for
your reports about the waste of
ratepayers’ money by the council.
The Eastern Reporter newspaper—
reporting on about 20 suburbs in this
area—does not inform readers about
these matters. Thanking you again.

‘Historic’ vote for flag
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
HISTORY was made Tuesday
when Bayswater city council voted
unanimously to fly an Aboriginal flag
outside and inside its civic HQ.
Previously the council only flew the
flag during NAIDOC and reconciliation
week. The council will spend $1500
installing a fourth flagpole for an
indigenous flag, to be flown permanently
alongside the national, WA and
Bayswater flags, and another $250 on five
Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander desktop flags, to be placed in the
civic chambers and reception.
The motion was tabled by ex-pom
Chris Cornish, who moved to Australia
with his family when he was 13-years-old.
“This is symbolic of saying we respect
your culture and traditions,” he said.
“A move that says there is a friendly
face waiting inside to greet you. But it
should be noted that this is only a baby
step towards reconciliation, and like
other councils have done I would like
Bayswater to develop a reconciliation
action plan.”
Cr Cornish says he’d originally
wanted a separate Torres Strait Islander
flag flown outside too, but changed his
mind because he thought he wouldn’t get
enough support.
Cr Barry McKenna declared flying
the Aboriginal flag “was the right thing
to do”: “You cannot deny the history
books,” he said. “There are Aboriginal
sites dating back thousands of years that
are located near to this very building.
Aboriginal people were walking on this
land long before the white man arrived.”
The campaign for the flag to be
flown permanently was initiated by
the Maylands ratepayers and residents
association.
“I was slightly disappointed the
TSI flag didn’t get the nod to be flown
outside, but now this is in place, it is
inevitable that will happen further down
the line,” MRRA president Roger Tomlins
says. “In general, we are delighted and
it is a great step forward for Bayswater
council.”
The move had the backing of
Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker and Perth
federal Labor MP Alannah MacTiernan.

PARADES. Sometimes they’re too
big and make too much sense. Two
artists are putting an end to that with Tiny
Parades, “a call to action, a noisy protest, a
mournful march and a joyous celebration”.
Why? Because parade. Across May and

BAYSWATER city council has allocated

on a sixth floor fire hydrant. Water flooded

tripped and part of the ground floor ceiling
collapsed. He’s due in Perth magistrates

Treat Mum to a Feast - Italian Style!
Golden Ravioli is Perth’s premier providore of artisan pasta and sauces.
Celebrating 50 years in operation this year, Golden Ravioli has a long and
proud history. Owned and operated by the Lenzarini family (of Romany
restaurant fame), Golden Ravioli was launched in 1964 in response to
Australia’s growing love affair with fresh pasta.
Winning many awards along the way, Golden Ravioli is still going strong
under the guidance of 86 year old Narciso Lenzarini, (the only surviving
brother) who imparts his passion, knowledge and work ethic to the
next generation. Golden Ravioli embodies a wonderful combination of
family, food and hard work.
This Mother’s Day, there’s no better way to show mum you care
than by cooking a wonderful Italian feast to share with her. Golden
Ravioli’s beautiful range of fresh and pre-cooked pasta and
gourmet sauces in convenient take home packages makes it easy
to look like a master chef and make mum’s day.

Thirty-four years ago Katherine Hawke opened
Katherine’s Corsetry, a veritable treasure trove of
lingerie, undergarments and sleepwear. Today her
daughter Helen holds the silken reins, keeping women
(and men) warm, wild or elegant through all seasons.
Shopping for underwear isn’t as simple as it used to
be. The choice on offer is mind-boggling – and can be
overwhelming, so it’s a real relief to know you can get
expert advice.
“We stock a full range of the most popular and bestquality brands, including Fayreform, Oroton, Caprice,
Elomi and Triumph, just to name a few,” says Helen.
Helen explains underwear is an important element to
every woman’s wardrobe.
“How it fits for comfort and structure and how it
relates to what you’re wearing, are important things to
consider. For example, small changes in bra shape can
make dramatic changes in bust line – we can provide
expert advice about what will best suit.”
If you’re after a lovely Mother’s Day gift, Katherine’s
has you covered.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)
The Taurus Sun helps to steady your
ship. When there are significant planets
in earthy signs, it gives you the sense that you are
supported, that there is ground under you, that you are
held. This is the safety that comes when we trust life. It
isn’t false security. Relax with life - and flow.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Though your agenda at the moment is
to expand your horizons, the Taurean
Sun is providing you with a puzzle on that front. The
very things that are frustrating you, are offering the next
round of clues as to what this expansion means. Let go
of smaller agenda’s, to get to the big ones.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
The world around you is matching the world
you have going on within you. Some kind of
harmony is arising. Notice when little moments of bliss,
sneak through like rays of light through forest leaves.
Focus on finding pleasure, rather than just focussing
on finding results.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
The Moon begins it’s week in Libra. It’s
almost full. This fills you with the love of
life. Your love of harmony can easily fall into the trap of
becoming too heady, too ideal, too mind-y. The Taurus
Sun has the lovely effect of bringing all that you love, to
delicious embodiment.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
The Taurus Sun is here for the
express purpose of bringing you
out of the realm of emotional difficulty, into a world of
simplicity, delight and ordinariness. Accept offers to go
out for a meal, a cup of coffee, or a dance. Ruminating
is not relevant. Satisfy your innocence here and there.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Saturn is really beginning to do his work
now. When Saturn is around, one of the
things that happens is that we get to see our fears,
to see how we are unconsciously protecting ourselves
from life, rather than living it. Your soul is calling you to
listen – at the expense of fantasy.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
There is delight where there has been
difficulty. There is empathy, where there
has been enmity. The Taurean Sun sets things straight,
that have been bent out of shape for way too long. Life
oscillates between resistance and flow. This moment
of vindication is giving you strength.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Life has you steaming ahead with your plans
and your passions. Your whole focus is on
grounding your higher interests, on making them real.
It takes considerable courage to stick with what means
most. There is more interest than resistance coming
your way. Ride the wave.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
If your interest in your journey of
healing, is leaning too much towards
obsessing with problems and away from the delight
of solution, it is time to change tack. There is nothing
wrong that needs to be fixed. The delight of solution
lies in celebrating what is. Forget your obsession.

Black Swan State Theatre Company is proud
to present the modern masterpiece Glengarry
Glen Ross from David Mamet, directed by Kate
Cherry and starring Damian Walshe-Howling
(Underbelly, Blue Heelers)and Peter Rowsthorn
(Kath and Kim) in the Heath Ledger Theatre, State
Theatre Centre of WA from Saturday 23 May to
Sunday 14 June 2015.
Internationally acclaimed and the subject of a
critically admired film, David Mamet’s Tony and
Pulitzer Prize winning drama tells the story of
salesmen struggling to stay afloat in the cut-throat
world of Chicago real estate.
Glengarry Glen Ross follows four real estate
agents presented with a dilemma: sell undesirable
property to unwilling buyers or find a new job.
Ricky Roma (Damian Walshe-Howling) is the
smooth talker, Shelly “The Machine” Levene
(Peter Rowsthorn) is on a bad run, George
Aaronow (Luke Hewitt) suffers from low selfesteem and Dave Moss (Kenneth Ransom) is the
bigmouth with dreams and schemes. With the
office manager, John Williamson (Will O’Mahony)
selling prime leads for cash, the four men go
to any lengths - including bribery, threats and
burglary - to close the deal. Based partly on
Mamet’s experiences working in a Chicago real
estate office during the late 1960s, the effect of this
play when it first opened in 1983 was explosive,
dealing with unbridled greed, desperation and
ruthless ambition, but it was also bold and honest.
Equal parts snappy dialogue, black humour
and verbal abuse, Glengarry Glen Ross is still a
daring and incisive look at humanity.
Peter Rowsthorn, Damian Walshe-Howling and Will O’Mahony

JENNY D’ANGER
E’S been dubbed
“the African Sting”,
but is Richard Bona
really “one of the planet’s five
revelations of the past decade”,
as claimed in an international
music magazine?
“I’d agreed with that, he is a
sensational musician, one of a few
in a generation who will make his
mark,” Perth International Jazz
Festival artistic director Graham
Woods opines.
Bona is the headline act in
the third annual jazz festival: in
Melbourne or Sydney his show
will set you back $100 or $150 but
you can catch him, and a swag of
other great musos, for a mere $25
at the Perth Cultural Centre.
PIJF’s manifesto is to take jazz
to the masses, Woods says. “We
are making it easy for people to
come and see these people.”
Hailing from West Africa’s
Cameroon, Bona was playing
a balafon (a sort of oversized
xylophone made from wood and
gourds) aged four; by 13 he’d
put together his first ensemble
performing at a French jazz club in
Cameroon’s port city Douala.
By 22 he was studying music
in Germany and France before
moving to New York’s Greenwich
Village jazz scene, where Harry
Belafonte’s mate spotted him in a
club and a couple of weeks later
Bona was Belafonte’s musical
director, bassist and arranger.
These days he’s in demand
with artists such as Paul Simon,
Chaka Khan and Harry Connick
Jr.
Bona will be joined by be a
swag of international and homegrown talent at this year’s festival
Empowered

A feast of jazz
including Polish pianist Artur
Dutkiewicz.
Barney McAll still calls
Australia home but the Grammynominated pianist, keyboardist
and composer lives in the Big
Apple these days.
“He’s doing great things over
there,” Wood says.
Perth-born Rachel Claudio is
making her mark in Paris with her
“blues and roots and soul lines”
style, and local jazz diva Jessie
Gordon won a “bunch of gongs”
at this years Fringe Festival.
PIJF collaborated with
Celebrate WA to jazz up the threeday long weekend (May 29–31)
and with 52 performers at a string
of venues the city will swing.
There’ll be a heap of music in
the Perth Cultural Centre’s Urban
Orchard and PICA stage, and
Brookfield Place, on St Georges
Terrace, will turn the usual
Sunday sleepiness of the business
district into party central, Wood
says.
“There will be a New Orleans
carnival atmosphere…a bluesbased party with a Cajun feel.”
Things kick off Friday, May
29. Check out Perth International
Jazz Festival’s website for the full
program, including a swag of free
shows.

STEPHEN POLLOCK
YLE BARTLETT (right)
is bringing indigenous
hip-hop to Mt Lawley.
The 27-year-old, who
occasionally does some rapping
on Bartlett Brothers tracks, is
branching out on his own with his
band Tribal Legacy.
But don’t expect clicheridden lyrics about gangstas,
bitches and “shizzle ma nizzle”.
Instead, Bartlett wants to promote
indigenous empowerment and
education.
“Growing up I was exposed to
and surrounded by crime, drugs,
alcoholism and all the negative
effects that come with that,” he
says. “At some point in my life
I stood back and observed and
had a good look at how drugs,
alcohol and violence was tearing
our indigenous community apart
and it was at that point I realised
I could either be a part of the
problem or a part of the solution.
“So through my music I have
been working hard to send a
positive message to our future
generation through the culture of
hip-hop.”
Through such songs as
Stand Up Bartlett encourages
young Aborigines to empower
themselves and to not sink into a
vortex of drink and drugs.
“The easy option is to mimic
American rappers and sing about
all that cliched stuff,” he says.
“The brave option is to say it
is a bad lifestyle choice and tell
people that through your lyrics.”
Till recently Bartlett worked as
a FIFO concreter in the mines but,
following the birth of his second
son, he has taken up a full time
post with Outcare—a not-forprofit group that helps young
offenders re-enter society.
“I did a bit of work with them
last year, showing some boys how
to lay concrete,” he says.
“But with my new baby I want
to spend more time at home, and
luckily a full-time position came
up with them.
“I get to work with a lot of
Aboriginal offenders trying
to get a foothold back in the
community—it’s very rewarding.”
As well as performing with
Tribal Legacy on the night, Bartlett
is running the event which will
feature another two indigenousstyle hip-hop acts. “You don’t
get much indigenous hip-hop
in Perth, so this event is a bit
unique,” he says.
“I’ve recently started
studying for a diploma in events
management, as my goal is to one
day start a business of my own in
planning events.”
The indigenous hip-hop night
will be at the Velvet Lounge in Mt
Lawley on May 29.

T
HE gentle sounds of a tennis
ball lobbed across a lawn court
and bird calls were the only
sounds on this North Perth street,
despite its proximity to the city.
A row of three swings swaying in three
verge trees aptly demonstrated just how
friendly and community-minded the folks
are on leafy Waugh Street.
This delightful and immaculate home
has all the hallmarks of its 1920s build.
Beautiful red roses frozen forever
in stained glass windows abound, and
fireplaces, high ceilings, deep skirting
boards and rich chocolate jarrah floors in
the original section of the home add to its
air of gentility. Roses decorate the french
doors of the spacious main bedroom,
which opens onto a generous verandah.
White plantation shutters make

curtains redundant and a walk-in robe/
dressing room keeps clutter at bay.
Federation tiles and a claw-foot bath are
stylish touches in the generous ensuite.
The rear of this five-bedroom home is
open-plan and modern, and central is the
country-style kitchen.
But if timber cupboards and raw brick
feature walls aren’t your thing there are
good bones for a quick and easy refit,
with plenty of bench space and oodles of
storage including a large, double pantry.
A bank of french doors off the living
area lead to a covered patio and pool,
with grass for kids to play and a low-
“ T H E Y’R E K E E P I N G T H E I R
P R O M I S E TO M Y DA D.”

maintenance garden.
The kids’ bedrooms are on the second
level, all double, all with built-in robes—
and from one you can see just how close
to the city this is by the huge office towers
seemingly close enough to touch.
Tennis anyone? You won’t break a
sweat walking to the North Perth Tennis
Club just up the road, and right next
to the bowling club and green grass of
Woodville Reserve.
North Perth primary school is a few
minutes’ walk away, and when it comes
to cafes and shops you’re spoilt for
choice, with the Angove and Fitzgerald
Street strips nearby.

“...you could
say that
real estate
really is in the
blood for this
family”
Stuart Irving, Catherine and
Brad Irving in their Beaufort
Street office
R
Strong Foundations
eal estate can be a tough game. Persistence,
planning and patience are key factors to
achieving long term success. For real estate
agents Irving and Keenan a deep local knowledge and
business relationships built on trust and honesty are also
fundamental. Thanks to these foundations the company
is celebrating 35 years in the industry this year.
Back in the late 70s, Stuart Irving and Peter Keenan
were hardworking real estate agents, involved in separate
firms. The duo kept crossing paths and after finding they
shared a similar work ethic, decided to join forces. They
set up in a rented room in the heart of Mt Lawley and
opened for business on 1 May 1980.
From their humble beginnings, many successful years
ensued, with Stuart and Peter establishing a high profile
in Mt Lawley and the surrounding suburbs. Irving
and Keenan developed a reputation, for integrity and
outstanding service.
“The bottom line is you’ve got to tell people the truth,
not just what they want to hear,” says Stuart. “In the
long run people realise that you have their best interests
at heart. I sold a property in the 70’s for $15,000. The
buyer said, ‘we paid too much’ but almost 45 years later
they’re still there and happy,” he laughs.
The company was later joined by Stuart’s son Brad
Irving. After studying at Curtin Business School, Brad
came on board to assist with residential sales and
Irving & Keenan celebrate 35 years in business
investments and then further cemented his commitment to
the family company by buying out both his father and Peter
Keenan in October 2008. Stuart’s daughter Catherine also
works in the business part time, looking after the admin.
As a family owned business, Irving and Keenan upholds
family values - trust and respect are paramount. Another
son Warick is also involved in the industry, working in
commercial sales for CBRE so you could say that real
estate really is in the blood for this family.
extensive local knowledge
Ably assisted by its professional team of sales agents,
property managers and administration staff, Irving and
Keenan provides a comprehensive range of real estate
services, including residential sales, auctions, property
management and investments. It helps being part of the
landscape for over three decades. Having extensive local
knowledge gives Irving and Keenan the edge - vital for
achieving results. With a wealth of experience, Stuart has
some sound advice for would be purchasers: “When it
comes to real estate, get 51% of the things you’re looking
for in a property. The rest is emotional - it’s about where
you have a sense of wellbeing.”
While the industry has had its ups and downs, Irving and
Keenan have remained true to their core values, which
holds them in good
stead for another 35
years.
To celebrate this
significant anniversary
Irving and Keenan
are offering three
months of generous
celebratory deals to
clients who may be
looking to either sell
their properties or

services of a property
management company.
