Vincent votes
to stay alive
by DAVID BELL
VINCENT voters are
overwhelmingly opposed to
the abolition of their city.
In a plebiscite run alongside
last weekend’s council elections,
a whopping 77 per cent (4564)
answered “no” to the question
“do you agree the City of Vincent
should be abolished”.
The landslide vote is a slap in
the face to premier Colin Barnett’s
plan to make Vincent disappear.
If the city is to be abolished, 90
per cent prefer amalgamation with
Perth, with just 10 per cent voting
for a division of the city between
Perth and Stirling, the option first
mooted by WA local government
minister Tony Simpson.
There are 21,102 eligible
electors in Vincent but just 30 per
cent bothered to vote.
New mayor John Carey says
ballots were issued late, which
may have affected the response.

SAFETY
MONTH
We’re targeting graffiti
Throughout October,
free anti-graffiti packs are
available to residents and

community support and
participation in graffiti
removal and prevention.

“I will be asking the council
that we write to the WA electoral
commission because I was
strongly disappointed with how
late the ballots got out,” he told
the Voice.
“From my reading of it we
were one of the last councils [to
get ballots out].”

He says the ballots were also
complex and some of Vincent’s
older residents who speak English
as a second language had trouble
with the forms. Others have said
the fact there was both a state
and federal election in 2013 had
contributed to voter fatigue.

The former deputy mayor
says he’ll continue the “Stay
in Stirling” campaign led by
predecessor David Boothman,
who was re-elected unopposed
to Balga ward but decided not to
recontest the top job.
Cr Italiano says his first
order of business will be to
seek an urgent meeting with
WA local government minister
Tony Simpson “to ensure he
understands the council’s
resolve in this regard”.
“We cannot sit by and see
parts of our council carved
up to the detriment of all our
ratepayers.”

Cr Matt Buckels, seeking reelection, looked nervous early on

Albert reigns in Baysy
by DAVID BELL
SYLVAN ALBERT is
Bayswater’s new mayor,
sweeping aside Terry Kenyon
seven votes to four.
Cr Albert—the Liberals’
candidate for Maylands at the
state election—was elevated to
the position by the new council
following last weekend’s ward
elections that saw two incumbent
councillors defeated.
To rub salt into Cr Kenyon’s
wounds, his long-time nemesis
Cr Mike Sabatino was elected
deputy mayor.
Earlier, Cr Kenyon had clung
onto his west ward seat with
just 0.5 per cent the difference
between taking one of two seats
on offer. He scored 27.64 per
cent (1505 votes) to cling to the
IN
OUT
• Sylvan Albert • Terry Kenyon
ward’s top spot with newcomer
Stephanie Coates coming in nine
votes and a fraction of a per cent
behind to claim the second seat.
Cr Marlene Robinson could only
watch in dismay with her 1478
votes—just 27 votes behind Cr
Kenyon—not enough for reelection.
In north ward, Michelle
Sutherland—married to Mt
Lawley Liberal MP Michael—
topped the poll with 1268 votes.
With 1007 votes Cr Alan Radford
bumped out Mark Whitehouse
by four votes to claim the ward’s
second seat, ending Graham
Pittaway’s career (949 votes).
In south ward local cafe owner
John Rifici scored 52.02 per cent
(1044 votes) to claim the one spot
on offer.
Bayswater residents’
association Tony Green says
“it’s really a new era” for the
council, with what he believes
is a breakdown of deep-seated
factional divides.
“We’ve had some of the
long-term servers like Marlene
Robinson and Graham Pittaway
gone and replaced with young
professional people,” he told
the Voice. “We’re hoping for a
more dynamic council. I’m quite
pleased with the mix. You’ve got
the old bulls and the young bulls.
There’ll be times when they go

Click go the stiles
boys click, click, click
by BRENDAN FOSTER
DURING the heady days of
WA cricket in the 1970s the
melodic click of the wroughtiron turnstiles would echo
throughout the WACA
as fans streamed into the
ground.
With the advent of
automative ticketing in the ‘80s,
the century-old turnstiles were
silenced as the gates were ripped
up and shoved into storage.
Now cricket nuts can have
that magical feeling of cranking
through the Victorian-style
gates again, with eight of the
turnstiles built between 1890 and
1920 returning to the members’
entrance.
Heritage ironwork specialist
Brad Jackson was given the
task of reviving the rusted-out
ba e gates which will be up and
running for the WA vs England
game on October 31.
“I was a bit shocked by the
condition they were in,” he told
the Voice.
“Anything steel had
just corroded. It was a bit
intimidating at first, especially
when you looked at the lock
boxes because they were just
full of dirt. They were covered
in about three inches of filth
because they hadn’t been
touched in 30 years.”
“Four were cast by the Ledger
Family Foundry, which was run
by Heath Ledger’s grandfather,”

of just two left in WA, says.
“And another two were cast in
England and are from the same
series that appear in the Dublin
Botanical Gardens.”
He describes the
craftsmanship as outstanding:
“Aesthetically it’s a beautiful
thing,” he says, running his
hand over a recently-painted
gate. “It’s a utilitarian piece
that served a function, but it
is beautifully designed and
really well-made. Anything cast
iron you would have to have a
pattern-maker carve out first in
wood perfectly.
“With the Ledger one,
someone was there with a chisel
carving all that out to make a
pattern that went to the foundry.
“There would have been a
month’s work just in that pattern
for that one casting.
“There is an awful a lot of
work in that one design.”
WACA Museum curator
Stephen Hall says the turnstiles
are an important part of the
history of the ground.
“The idea was to let people
today reengage with them,”

Leave us
alone!
I AGREE entirely with Marie
Slyth (Voice Mail, October 19,
2013).
Vincent council operates
e cently and offers great service
to its residents.
It has some fantastic cash
cows coming up for maturity
such as Tamala Park and these
would be used to further
enhance the overall ambience of
inner-urban living. A conspiracy
theorist might say it is exactly
because of these cash cows the
big merger is promoted.
Over the past 17 years we
have seen what was then a junior
council evolve into something
that is the envy of other lesser
known entities.
Now to backpedal has an
enormous cost to everyone at a
time we are trying to eliminate
debt and costs. It seems criminal
to even to try to force this
marriage-cum-merger.
These ridiculous notions
come around every now and
then and they detract from what
we are supposed to be doing—
getting on with living in an
environment where most people
are very happy.
I say leave us alone—we’ve
done very well thank you. I love
where I live—don’t interfere.

Not all
change for
the better
RECENTLY I was
approached by the City of
Bayswater to undertake a
small job on a book titled
Changes They’ve Seen, which
sets out the history and
development of the city and
its significant role in the
wider context of settlement in
metropolitan Perth.
As I thumbed through the
pages I wondered what the
people in the illustrations would
think about their city now: Many
would marvel at the progress
but would be horrified to turn
to the back of the book to find it
was printed in China.
I’m sure if they were to ask
why, it would be explained the
city needed to be responsible in
its spending which, of course
these days, is a euphemism
for getting the lowest price
wherever you can get it. So
rather than the money being
spent in the local community
where it would continue
to circulate and add to the
sustainability of local ratepaying businesses it now
circulates in China.
I have made some initial
enquiries as to how this situation
came about. Fremantle Press
published the book and relies
primarily on funding from the
WA state government (fac.org.
au/sponsors) and it advised
Bayswater it was not possible to
have the book printed in WA.
This is completely false and
the book could have easily
been printed and bound within
the boundaries of the City of
mail
• Due to an email glitch there’s no Chatfi eld this week. Sob.
Bayswater. Let’s hope as a final
insult to local business there was
not the usual flight to China to
do a “press check” junket, as is
so often the case when printing
work is sent offshore. That
would be the final insult.
I would encourage all those
that used public monies to
get this book printed offshore
to look around the City of
Bayswater at the unemployed,
at the closed businesses and at
the youth trying to make a few
cents cleaning windows at tra c
lights and feel some sense of
accomplishment that they have
contributed in a meaningful way
to what they see.

Invisible
election
candidates
I THANK Reece Harley for
phoning me to apologise
for misattributing, in his
letter published in Voice
Mail (October 19, 2013) the
remark about City of Perth
councillors being afraid of
having to doorknock if they
were to have 22,000 extra
voters.
He makes a very valid point
that it is di cult to doorknock
people who live in secure
apartment complexes.
But the comment from
John Carey was, I believe,
aimed at current City of Perth
councillors—they are the ones
who have decided they only
want the asset-rich, not the
people-rich, parts of Vincent.
Reece is a fresh voice and might
well have a different view.
Although secure complexes
are on the increase in Vincent,
they are not yet an excuse for the
lack of candidate visibility that
has characterised this election
in Vincent. I live in the south
ward, where there were eight
candidates standing for election
to two vacancies, but I have only
received any election material
from one and only seen anything
other than a “vote for me” ad in
the Voice about a few others.
So, despite my high hopes
for a high voter turnout for
the plebiscite, the low turnout
(30 per cent at October 15)
is perhaps not surprising, as
candidates don’t seem to be very
interested in getting elected.

Woolly eyepopper
THERE is a UK evening
paper that can almost match
the Voice (“Democra-sigh”,
October 19, 2013) for an eyecatching headline.
Villagers at Wilberforce near
Harrogate awoke recently to
find that sheep had invaded
their gardens. The consequent
Evening Press (York) headline:
Wool bah fuss.
For this snippet we are
indebted to that dear old thing,
my mentor William Dixon
Smith. His exquisite phrasing
of the Queen’s English helps
reduce my own erring.
The above prompts me
to seek an Icelandic writer’s
recommended novel that
concerns, I gather, sheep turds.
Perhaps these can be read like
tea leaves.

A passion for
the planet
DOES the prime minister and
members of the Liberal Party
really think the people of
Australia are not concerned
with the pressure on our
environment which will
ensue with the repealing of
the carbon tax?
Because we are passionate
and care about the future of our
country, we need to retain the
carbon tax, spend on renewable
energy sources, educate the
population on the urgency of our
situation, and encourage us to
live simply.
Direct Action already
happens with many people
involved in regeneration
and caring for local areas
throughout this country, without
intervention from federal
government.
A five per cent reduction in
emissions is ludicrous given
the environmental damage
already inflicted on our
country. Twenty-five per cent is
doable.

Harley rides
into top slot
by DAVID BELL
NEWCOMER Reece Harley
has topped the field at the
Perth city council elections,
beating even seasoned
veterans to nab the most
votes and the first of four
council seats up for grabs.
Mr Harley, 26, scored 17.68
per cent (1782 votes), followed
by Cr Judy McEvoy, re-elected
with 16.19 per cent (1632 votes),
Cr James Limnios (14.42 per cent
and 1453 votes) and another
newcomer, Keith Yong (12.68 per
cent, 1278 votes).
In the eight-horse race
incumbent councillor Lyndon
Rodgers—often a lone voice on
the PCC—came seventh, well
out of contention with 9.64 per
cent (972 votes).
Cr Harley, a heritage buff
who started the Crawley Rotary
branch, is the second-youngest
councillor to win o ce at the
PCC (the first was Chas Hopkins
who also started at 26 but was a
few months younger. He went
on to become lord mayor).
Cr Harley credited his
strong result to grassroots
campaigning: Letterboxing flyers
and personally doorknocking
just about every house he could
get to, including public housing
tenants.
He says he’d grown up in
a Homeswest property and
was able to share his story
with constituents, some of
whom said they’d never had
a political candidate knock on
their door before (although
one remembered Julie Bishop
dropping by at a previous
federal election).
Cr Harley believes the
changing demographics of the
capital also helped his vote.
“We’re seeing more and more
residents moving into the city
and increasingly they’re my age
demographic.”
He says campaigning is an
expensive process: “I”m not a
rich man, I’m probably your
average joe when it comes
to statistics. I’m a young guy
and I’m not earning a lot of
money... the costs are quite
high, but obviously it’s worth
it because now I’ve got this
great opportunity to be able to
contribute to the city and get
involved in decision-making.”

MRA grounds helipad plan
by CARMELO AMALFI
CATALINA AIRLINES has flown
from one tangle of red tape into
another.
Fresh from completing noise tests
for the Swan River Trust for its plans to
launch and land seaplanes on the river—
it reckons it passed with flying colours—
it is now arguing with another WA
government agency over separate plans
to use a helipad in East Perth.
Catalina boss Mack McCormack
has been trying for two years to reach
agreement over the use of a disused
helipad at Trinity College.
Up till this week he’s been embroiled
in negotiations with the Metropolitan
Redevelopment Authority, a powerful
but unelected body that is essentially a
planning czar for everything within its
boundaries.
He says an 18-month draft licence
Catalina he’s been working through with
the MRA is unreasonable and designed to
deter him accessing the helipad.
One of the conditions is he may not
use public roads nor footpaths to get
people to and from the helipad.
“They’re trying to make it very hard
for us,” he says. “Trinity support us
so long as we don’t fly during year 12
exams. We also have assured them we
will not operate before peak times before
and after school to avoid congestion on
Trinity Avenue.”
This week, the MRA pulled the plug
entirely, with CEO Kieran Kinsella
saying the MRA has, “notified Catalina
Airlines that it is unable to continue lease
negotiations”.
In a letter to Catalina Mr Kinsella
states development work on the Riverside
project adjacent to the helipad is due to
start in June so it will be unavailable.
Mr McCormack says there is “no
operational helipad in Perth” and he
believes he has the support of deputy
premier Kim Hames for the project.

Seaplane noise
test a ‘success’
by CARMELO AMALFI
A FLAT glassy Swan, few boats, birds
and not a dolphin in sight.
Within a rod’s throw from shore,
trust o cers and marine and aviation
authorities meet on the water to witness
the temporary disturbance of Perth’s
iconic river.
On cue, the single-engine Cessna
prepares to land flying up the river from
Crawley where seaplanes berthed during
World War Two.
The roar of the engines as the plane
touches down on the surface of the water
is picked up by nearby monitors in South
Perth.
Catalina Airlines, which conducted
the noise tests, says the levels recorded
were about 12 decibels below those
recommended by the department of
environment and conservation.
It wants to operate two seaplanes—the
Cessna for 10 passengers and a twinengine Grumman Albatross G111 for up
to 24 passengers.
They will fly to Rottnest, the Abrolhos
islands off Geraldton, Mandurah,
Margaret River and other sightseeing,
diving and snorkelling destinations in
WA.
The noise tests are a hurdle to cross
before the company is issued with a
licence to operate on the Swan.
The Swan River Trust board meets next
month to consider the proposal to launch
WA’s latest tourism venture.

A SINGLE photograph from 1906 of
a policeman on a horse is about to
change Maylands author Norman
Jorgensen’s life.
Mr Jorgensen was recently awarded
a $30,000 grant from the WA arts
department to write a book about the
life of Jack Kelly, a WA policeman,
international circus star and younger
brother to the infamous Ned.
“I had been researching another
book I had been working on about the
he
Goldfields, and I came across this picture
cture
of a policeman on a horse,” Mr Jorgensen
nsen
n
tells the Voice.
“It said ‘Jack Kelly, policeman, brother
otheer
of Ned.’ And the more research I did,, th
thee
more interesting he became.”
Jack was five when his brother took
ok
the long drop, growing up to tour thee
world as a stunt rider but returning when
when
his children took sick. Despite Ned’s
less than cordial relations with Victoria’s
riaa’s
“traps” Jack happily donned the Royal
yall
blue.
Mr Jorgensen says Jack often played
yeed
up his familial connections and portrayed
raye
yed
Ned in re-enactments.
“To the working class Ned was a
hero,” he says. “I think Jack played on it
a fair bit. He was obviously quite proud
oud
of him.”
When his wife died Jack’s wanderlust
rlust
took hold again and he became a
stuntman for Barnum and Bailey in the
US. His horseman prowess reportedly led
to him becoming a famous stuntman in
nascient Hollywoodland, where he also
taught stars of the day how to ride. He
eventually ended up in Buenos Aires to
teach horse-riding, where he died in 1956.

including to areas that back then would
have been rough to say the least.
“He travelled the world in a time
when many people didn’t,” Mr Jorgensen
says. “I see him as a fascinating character,

All the circle-dancing of avoidance is over.
Truth is quite a simple thing when we get
down to it. With defensiveness and anxiety out of
the way, truth has a completely different ring than
when such things are clouding the issue. It’s time for
contact. It’s time for a breakthrough.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)
Mercury, the planet of communication, is retrograde - and in Scorpio.
Scorpions tends towards laying low at the best of
times, so with Mercury in here, it’s hardly likely that
people are going to be forthright. This is not an easy

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)
The Moon begins its week in Cancer,
charging you up with emotion.
Generally your inclination is to go out and take care
of other people’s feelings, rather than feel your own.
This moment is too much of a hot potato to get away
with that manoeuvre. Be at home in your own heart.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Slowly, after a succession of bright
successes and problematic misses,
you are rising into a new sense of personal authority.
This one is less frantic and ego driven. The genuine
you is starting to shine. There are less spotlights, but
infinitely more respect. Be natural and unassuming.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Mars is in your garden. Mars is
adventurous, wilful, strong and a little bit
wild. He is a force to be reckoned with. He may be a
part of yourself that you are beginning to find, or he
may come in the form of a tall dark stranger. Accept
him as he is - and he gives. Don’t, and he gets cross.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
As the Sun moves into Scorpio, so
it is cooling off time for Librans. After
excitement it is healthy to withdraw and digest.
If you think that you must stay excited all the time,
you’ll wear out your nervous system in no time fl at.
Relaxation is what is called for. Gently put it into place.
Win one of five double
passes to Rooftop Movies.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
In astrology, the goat has a fishes tail.
This has always been a great mystery.
What does a mountain climbing beast need with a
fishes tail? It suggests that we must deal with the
depths as well as height. Depth provides the contrast
that makes the heights shine. Slow it all down.

Tom Keely’s reputation is in ruins.
And that’s the upside. Divorced and
unemployed, he’s lost faith in everything
precious to him.
Holed up in a grim highrise,
cultivating his newfound isolation, Keely
looks down at a society from which
he’s retired hurt and angry. He’s done
fighting the good fight, and well past
caring.
But even in his seedy fl at, ducking
the neighbours, he’s not safe from
entanglement. All it takes is an
awkward encounter in the lobby.
A woman from his past, a boy the
likes of which he’s never met before.
Two strangers leading a life beyond his
experience and into whose orbit he falls
despite himself.
What follows is a heart-stopping,
groundbreaking novel for our times
– funny, confronting, exhilarating and
haunting. Inhabited by unforgettable
characters, Eyrie asks how, in an
impossibly compromised world, we can
ever hope to do the right thing.

to be dipped in the deeply rich
teriyaki sauce. A solid meal but
I was on the verge of raising
unkempt eyebrows at the price.
The duck and scallop ($38)
was an interesting combo of
two meats of very different
consistencies, but the scallops
were perfectly seared, the duck
chewy and rich, and the leafy
salad crisp and fresh.
Chilli Orange is a little pricier
than I’d normally aim for on
a weeknight out but, given it
wasn’t that long ago your only
option was a $3 hot dog at the
pool hall, I’m pretty thankful
for the choice on Angove Street
today.

DAVID BELL
NGOVE STREET is
killing it just now.
Once little more than
a side street near the pool hall,
these days it’s full of top-notch
cafes and quirky shopfronts and
on any given weekday morning
there’s a healthy population
down on the strip.
Chilli Orange is up there with
the best. It’s hard to pigeonhole:
Variously described as
“Asian”, “tapas” and “modern
Australian”. None nail it.
I don’t know how to describe
the joint but I know we had a
French waiter and I ate a pretty
damned good steak that sure
wasn’t tapas-sized.
For entrees we started out
with some pork belly ($16.90).
Sourced from Linley Valley,
it’s admirably free-range, and
served in squares with kim chi,
spring onion and cucumber.
The outer carapace is supremely
crunchy, and the inner flesh
soft as butter. It’s an incredible
contrast of textures and the
flavours of the hoi sin sauce
meld beautifully with the
sesame oil and chilli. A+, would
eat again.
We also picked up the
tempura king prawns ($15.90)
and were rewarded with
HOTEL
for $49.50
Tables available in our stylish Restaurant

trifectas, fashion awards, lucky door prizes

It’s a stage Dior scandal
by JENNY DʼANGER
GEORGINA GAYLER well recalls
her first performance with comedy
outfit The Big Hoo Haa: And she’d
appear on stage near-naked any day
rather than go through that again.
“Underwear pales into insignificance
to standing back stage at Lazy Susan’s,”
the exuberant 32-year-old tells the Voice.
Which is just as well as the Fremantle
local is centre-stage in some very sexy
Dior scanties in her role as highpowered divorce lawyer Helena, a
woman with a taste for other women’s
husbands. It’s one of a number of
characters Gaylor portrays in Black
Swan’s two-actor “play with songs”,
Midsummer (a four-piece provides live
music from a bar setting on stage).
Set in Edinburgh, Gayler had to
master a brogue: “My granny is from
Aberdeen and I’m not game to try it out
on her,” she laughs.
Brendan Hanson is the other half,
playing amongst others the lead
character of Bob, a petty criminal whom
fate throws together with Helena, on a
wet midsummer’s weekend in a bar.
She’s a lawyer, he’s a crim and they

Gayler says: “But they do.”
It’s the beginning of a
legendary lost weekend
of debauchery, hangovers,
ruined weddings, a bag of
stolen money, Goth kids
and Japanese rope bondage.

2009 Edinburgh Fringe,

JENNY D’ANGER
JE
OCT SPECIAL
HIS quintessential
Australian turn-of-thecentury home could
have been conjured from
the pages of Tim Winton’s
Cloudstreet.
Although a single storey
home, its age-mellowed brick
and iron lace work of the front
verandah and the glorious
tree-lined street are reminiscent
of the homes of the Lambs and
Pickles.
No doubt when built this
two-bedroom abode would have
been home to a mum,a dad and
a brood of kids.
But times and expectations
change and this cute-as-a-button
dwelling is now perfect for a
couple looking for inner-city
living that’s not an apartment.
Or, it could well suit a family
with a young one that doesn’t
mind living closer to each other
than is today’s norm.
Gorgeous jarrah floors flow
throughout, except for one of the
street-facing bedrooms, which is
aged pine.
Many original features
are retained and restored,
including the front door and its
impressively large lock.
The central lounge is a cosy
space to unwind after a grueling
day pushing pens. Next door is
the kitchen, with its fantastic old
Metters wood stove: I remember
one just like it when I was at
primary school and the great
meals mum would whip up.
Her apple pies were awesome

and there was a magic I’ve never
forgotten about sitting in front
of the fire tucking into a bowl of
soup on a cold winter’s day.
This kitchen is commodious
enough for new owners to keep
the Metters as a talking point,
while installing a modern stove/
oven. For bonus space there’s a
walk-in pantry.
The old back verandah
has been enclosed and there’s
scope to extend (with council
approval) to create a sun-filled
family room.
And there’d still be room for
a courtyard garden on this tidy
214sqm property. The rear is
admittedly spartan with all that
brick paving for the cars, but a
few well-placed big pots filled
with lush plants will fix that
quick smart (if you don’t want
to go to the expense of digging
it all up).
There’s rear access to park
two cars in tandem, while
visitors get their own bay out the
front.
Standing on the verge you
feel you could reach out and
touch the city skyscrapers.
Beautiful Queens Gardens,
with its ornamental lakes, is at
the bottom of the street in the
other direction.
This delightful home is
minutes from the city’s east end
and the upcoming Riverside
Marina redevelopment.

of equal

A CENTREPIECE of this
year’s parade will be a
giant float of male and
female wedding couples
symbolising the ongoing
push for marriage equality.
“In terms of gay and lesbian
rights, WA is one of the best
places in the world to live,”
Pride co-president Daniel Smith
says.
“But there is one thing
outstanding at the national level,
and that is gay marriage.”
Pride’s artistic director Paula
Hart is working on the floats
this year, and the theme will be
“rainbow nation”.
Mr Smith says the rainbow
both represents the diversity of
the community coming from all
walks of life, and the solidarity
of all those diverse people
working together.
Plenty to see and do
M
OVIES, plays and music are on rooftopmovies.com.au.
Meanwhile there’s a free selection of
all through the month at this
films from the Melbourne Queer Festival,
year’s Pridefest.
Modern classics like Hedwig and the
Angry Inch screen at Rooftop movies
November 14 at 8pm, telling the tale of a
sex-change operation gone frustratingly
wrong.
November 21 sees Milk grace the screen,
telling the story of Harvey Milk, the first
openly gay politician in California. The
Sean Penn film
is so powerful
it inspired
legendary
octogenarian
magician James
Randi to come
out as gay after
spending most of
a century hiding
his sexuality.

Pride in the sun
T
HIS year’s Pride parade
will be held during the
day.
“We believe rainbows belong in
the daylight,” Pride co-president
Daniel Smith says.
“We think it sends a really
positive message. Our community
is much more diverse: We don’t
just live our lives in the city in
the night-time. It provides a
great opportunity for people to
participate. We’ve looked around
the world and the best events
occur during the daytime.”
Along with drawing more
families to the November 2
parade, organisers are hoping
it will help benefit more local
businesses.
Pride’s been running for 24
years and Mr Smith says it’s
evolved over the years: From
its early days as an in-your-face
struggle against oppression—and
overtly sexualised—it morphed
into a Sydney-style mardis gras
party, famous for fishnets and
bare-bummed chaps. As rights
progressed, and the involvement
of gay and lesbian people in
varied roles became more
widespread and socially accepted,
the parades struggled for numbers
and relevance.
“What we’ve seen over the
past decade is, as law reform is
achieved in WA in the past decade,
the parade has struggled a little
bit for identity and purpose,” Mr
Smith says.
He says younger gay and
lesbian people may not feel
discrimination as acutely as their
forebears but it’s important they
not take their rights for granted,
as there are many who occupy
influential positions who still
believe gays and lesbians should
be discriminated against.
“If you get born into a world
with colour TV, you think that’s
how it’s always been,” he says.
“They’re very lucky to be born
into a world where a lot of battles

have been fought and won, but...
the message we’d like to get across
to young people is: You can’t take
your rights for granted. There
are plenty of examples around
the world (Russia, Uganda) and
Australia where gay and lesbian
rights are going backwards.”
While the parade during the
day is aiming for a more familyfriendly feel, there’ll also be a
chance for people to let their hair
down at the 18+ Celebration event

headlined by Didier Cohen and
