VINCENT looks to be split down the middle in what the mayor describes as “a very poor outcome” for ratepayers.

Alannah MacTiernan has heard Perth will gobble up the bit to Bulwer or Vincent Street. The rest will be swept into Stirling.

She would have preferred all of Vincent going into the capital, to protect its growing inner-city vibe.

“[Stirling’s] a very big council, it deals with a lot of suburban

issues, it is fundamentally

will be a very poor outcome.”Ms MacTiernan isn’t alone:

Stirling mayor David Boothman doesn’t like the Solomonesque solution either.

“To be quite frank, I think Stirling’s big enough,” he says. “We don’t need another aquatic centre, and we believe there’s a level of debt that would come with that.”

Cr John Carey, who chairs the Beaufort Street Network, says a split is “the worst-case scenario for

our local community”.“It just would not make any

sense to put inner-city areas like Highgate, parts of Mount Lawley around Beaufort Street, and Angove Street, into a suburban council. It seems crazy that we’ve got this incredible inner-city vibrant area that’d be put under the City of Stirling which has a

A VINCENT council candidate has been banned from posting comments on the council’s offi cial Facebook site.

Perennial council critic Debbie Saunders, whose nom de plume was Bob Jones, was blocked after what council CEO John Giorgi claims was a, “series of negative comments (across a variety of matters on our Facebook page)”.

Unconcerned by claims he’s impeding on free speech, Mr Giorgi says the page, “aims to promote council o erings with a focus on positive, ‘social’ content that benefi t[s] the community”.

A JOURNALISM academic well versed in defamation law believes Vincent city council is leaving itself wide open to being sued by people with the same names of people convicted of trawling for sex in Highgate.

When Vincent fi rst published its rogues gallery it left out middle names and suburbs and, in all but one case, ages.

In the weeks since it’s endeavoured to provide more details but of the fi ve new names posted since, none have ages or suburbs and one—Liam Williams—had no middle name.

Curtin university journalism head Joseph Fernandez says there is “room for confusion so that innocent people whose names resemble those named on the website might be mistaken for the o enders”.

“It is enough for the person suing for defamation to show that ordinary reasonable persons thought that the published name referred to him,” he says.

“Also, if the objective of this exercise is to actually shame the o ender then such an outcome can only be achieved if the o ender is clearly identifi able.”

Council CEO John Giorgi says the council’s not doing anything di erent to newspapers.

He says sta attend court but not all information is mentioned during hearings.

“Note that before launching the page, the city’s received legal advice concerning this matter,” he adds.

Disclosure: Reporter David Bell tutored in media law at Curtin in 2012 under Dr Fernandez.

Page rules state posts can be removed without notice, and “fans” are told to contact the council directly for serious matters.

Ms Saunders, who runs the Oxford Street cafe 50mL, was blocked after asking whether a man credited with taking a Facebook photo of mayor Alannah MacTiernan was the Anthony Minh Tran recently posted on the council’s website, convicted for soliciting a prostitute in Highgate.

Ms Saunders opposes the council’s “name and shame” campaign, describing it as a “mediaeval practice” that doesn’t solve the problem.

“I was highlighting that if the city is only going to

publish names then they leave themselves open to defamation cases when those people of that same name su er any negative consequences,” she wrote to councillors following her comment’s deletion and her blocking. I think it is grossly negligent to publish only a name, when countless others in Perth have the same name. Is it going to take a law suit for anything to be done?”

Cr Dudley Maier believes Ms Saunders has a point.

According to the electoral roll 277 people have the same fi rst and last names in Vincent alone and 19 have identical fi rst, middle and last names. “That’s why it’s so important to get the address where we can.”

Legal ‘danger’

by STEPHEN POLLOCK

SATELLITE navigation company TomTom allows a list of 18 Perth and Fremantle brothels to be made available to drivers as “points of interest” on its WA map.

The list—created by Perth cabbie Phillip McGree— is free and can be downloaded by anyone with a compatible TomTom who connects to its online update service.

It is unclear if TomTom validates or regulates user uploads, although there is a “report as o ensive, copyrighted etc” feedback option beside the POI download.

The brothel POI is rated 3.5 out of 5 by TomTom users.

Prostitution in WA is legal but operating a brothel is not.

For years WA police have turned a blind eye to bordellos and unoffi cially regulated them, much to local councils’ and residents’ chagrin.

In 2011 the Barnett government attempted to

introduce new prostitution laws to ban brothels from residential areas and make them legal in limited industrial zones. The bill failed to gain political traction and was dropped from the government’s legislative agenda following the March election.

Veteran cabbie Stephen Satchell says he drives around 30 people—fi ve per cent of his fares—to Perth knocking shops every month.

“I’d say that about 75 per cent of my brothel fares are FIFO workers in their mid-20s, the rest are middle-aged men on interstate business.

“The majority of them go at the weekend, between 2am and 6am on a Sunday morning, but I get a few randy ones during the week as well.

“Langtrees in Burswood and International 300 in East Perth are my most popular drop-o s.”

The Voice gave TomTom two days to comment, but the company didn’t get back to us.

THREE mature native gum trees have been poisoned along the Maylands foreshore. Two have died, one struggles on.

Bayswater council sta suspect homeowners of killing the trees at Berringa Park Wetlands in order to get a better view of the Swan River, but proving it is hard going.

“The drill holes—typically used to assist in poisoning trees—and ringbarking strongly suggest the attack was a deliberate attempt to kill the trees,” Swan River Trust manager Stephen Lloyd says.

The council voted to erect a 1.5m sign at Berringa Park, reminding people that destroying trees is a criminal o ence. The maximum penalty for killing a tree is $5000.

Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker describes the attacks as “selfi sh”.

“Tree poisoning is a direct attack on the right of the entire community to enjoy and have access to beautiful parklands amongst our suburbs,” she says.

“I support the SRT and the Bayswater city council in measures taken to combat this selfi sh act of destruction of public property and our community’s natural environment.”

Cr Chris Cornish says the “wetlands area is a delicate

ecosystem which we must preserve”.

Cr Sonia Turkington is more circumspect: “I support council’s decision to provide in principle support to the Swan River Trust to erect a sign where a tree has been poisoned.

‘Selfi sh’ attack on foreshore fl ora

“However, I do not support groups that come in and plant vegetation that will deliberately take away the views of the river which people enjoy.”

After a tree was poisoned in Bardon Park in 2008, council erected two similar signs.

night works

Notifi cation Of Night Works On Vincent StreetOn Tuesday 6 August works will commence to install a new electricity transmission cable underneath Vincent Street, to reinforce the supply of power to the urban rail network.

Due to heavy traffi c fl ow on Vincent Street the works have been scheduled to occur at night after the rail closures, between the following dates:

Tuesday 6 August to Sunday 18 AugustBetween the hours of 7:30pm – 5:30am

There will be a trench crossing the road between Morriston Street and Cleaver Street that will be backfi lled once works are complete.

The work will be undertaken in accordance with an approved traffi c management plan. As such, please note that during these times there will be delays to traffi c.

Construction crews will do their best to keep noise levels to a minimum to avoid any disturbance to residents and the planned works are not expected to affect the power supply in your area.

Ravenous for more ratesRE: “Mini blocks spook Vincent” (Voice, July 21, 2013). The City of Vincent could oppose or compromise, but it is greedy for rates, which is the truth of the situation.

No thought of what we want, no preservation of ensuing trees, no thought to parking and bins on verges. And will it spend extra money coming in on underground power? No.

Robert HartAnderson St, Mt HawthornThe Ed says: Local elected councils

have less and less say about these issues, Robert. Developers often appeal unfavourable decisions to the unelected SAT (and get sympathetic hearings) while decisions on big developments are now made by the unelected DAPs. The days of local communities determining their own local planning amenity are over.

No Moore discriminationTHE federal Liberal candidate for Perth, Darryl Moore, is “mystifi ed why so many people are interested in same-sex marriage” (Voice, July 21, 2013).

Mr Moore, how would you feel if your country denied you the right to marry the person you love, the person with whom you share the most important part of your life?

Lack of marriage equality directly a ects the lives of many voters, their families and friends. The Liberal Party refuses to acknowledge and accept the fact that same-sex marriage is supported by a majority of Australians.

Legal recognition of same-sex marriage is a change that is opposed by a dogged minority, whose lives will not be adversely a ected in any way when it comes to pass. Marriage equality is a human rights issue in which Australia lags embarrassingly behind a rapidly growing list of other nations.

Need I go on?Jeff HughesHaig Park Circle, East Perth

TornABRUPT whining of local councils’ indiscriminate chainsaws tear me apart.

They’re a precursor of more record heatwaves, fl oods and destructive winds.

Bridget SawyerClifton Tce, Mount Lawley

Magic millionI SUGGEST for starters that Ron Willis and his concerned “Voicelanders” (Voice, July 21, 2013) get behind the City of Stirling’s “Million Tree Initiative” and, after they have exhausted their e orts with this, they can get involved with the city’s “Adopt a Park” program.

If every resident ensured there was a street tree or two outside their house and nurtured the tree until it established itself, a big battle would be won. I have encouraged Stirling to market its million tree initiative plan through schools by encouraging students to get their families involved.

Another incentive could be to give a small rates rebate to local property owners if a tree is still in place and growing, say after three years.

I am a big supporter of putting trees back and local councils should undertake a street tree audit and replace missing trees.

I do not, however, believe we need another “Big Brother”—a state watchdog for trees.

Ron, take up my o er for a co ee and I will take you through step-by-step my dealings with the local councils about trees and greening of the area.

Moore info pleaseIT is good that federal Liberal Perth candidate Darryl Moore has fi nally made clear his strong opposition to marriage equality. However, he has not fully explained himself to voters.

Opposition leader Tony Abbott has said his party-room will decide the issue of a conscience vote on this matter after the election. That means if Mr Moore is elected as the Member for Perth he will have a say later this year on whether or not the cCalition will allow a free vote for its members, just as the Labor Party already does.

The voters of Perth now know Mr Moore will personally vote against

same-sex marriage, but he has not said whether he supports a free vote for his colleagues. Where does he stand on that?

I call on Mr Moore to make his position clear before the election.

We have a great community and I am dedicated to working with you all to make Perth a place where everyone gets an opportunity to have a good life.

I will fight for public transport, reducing congestion on our roads, better schools and a bigger share of Commonwealth money for Perth and WA. And I am determined to deal with the very real issue of climate change.

Federal Labor has committed $500 million for rail projects in Perth and over a billion dollars to improve our roads in the eastern corridor.

I will bring the experience, strength and determination to the task of delivering these projects for our area.

A MAMMOTH $350 million, three-tower project has been given the thumbs up for the old Emu brewery site on Mounts Bay Road.

The Perth development assessments panel—including PCC councillor Rob Butler—unanimously approved the 268-apartment, 120-hotel room development by owner AAIG Pty Ltd (said by local planning boffi ns to be Singapore and Malaysian-owned).

THE Barnett government is set to do a u-turn and allow Muslims to celebrate Eid at Kings Park.

In March, the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority refused an application for a 2000-people Eid-al-Fitr celebration at the Saw Avenue picnic area, arguing capacity for the area was limited to 500 (Voice, March 9, 2013).

BGPA chief Mark Webb had

• Images of the huge Emu Brewery project. Image supplied | Cox Howlett & Bailey Woodland. View from Kings Park.

The 31-level offi ce block will fl ood Perth with an additional 48,000sqm of offi ce space and it’s hoped the 35-level tower will ease the squeeze on Perth’s dire short-term accommodation shortage.

A combination of residential and commercial use would reportedly “increase the day time and night time activity in the locality” and the attached public plaza will spruce up pedestrian links in the area.

Online forum Skyscraper City, a hangout for town

planners, urban design hobbyists and assorted tall building enthusiasts, was abuzz: “This would be the ultimate skyline changer we’ve wanted for so long,” posted hayds. “This will be the nice cherry on top [of] everything else going on,” ryan79 said. “A kick-arse design was submitted for once,” Bullswool commented.

AndyGM was cautious: “Cursed site, will never happen,” he said, referring to six previous approvals for the site that never started.

Green light for old amber site

said the popular community event had outgrown the picnic area and could create parking and traffi c snarls.

The decision threatened to bring to an end a trouble-free 19-year tradition that is enormously popular with local families.

Following further discussions with the BGPA the Islamic Centre is now planning to submit a revised application and management plan for the event.

“Recognising the importance of the Eid celebration to the Islamic community, there has

been ongoing constructive discussions between Kings Park and the Islamic Centre to fi nd a suitable location for the Eid prayers,” WA multicultural interests offi ce spokesperson Liz Rehfeldt said.

The BGPA says Hale Oval, with a capacity for 2000, is shaping up as a possibility.

The Voice contacted the centre but it didn’t get back to us.

The BGPA estimates 4500 attended Eid-al-Fitr and 4000 attended Eid-al-Adha in Kings Park last year.

A REHEARSAL studio in Mount Hawthorn has been given an eleventh hour stay of execution.

Vincent sta wanted to close down Dream Studio on Oxford Street and had recommended councillors axe it.

A sta report said the business doesn’t “protect and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the city’s inhabitants”.

It says there aren’t enough parking bays and there was a recent noise complaint.

Sta ers had given owner JB Poole “numerous extensions to deadlines” to get back to them with more info for a retrospective approval, the report says.

It also notes a spotted history of operating without approvals and outside approval conditions.

The place looked likely to get the chop but, just hours before the council meeting, the item was deferred as Cr Ros Harley moved for a compromise to save the longstanding business.

Cr Harley wants Mr Poole to provide an acoustic report, paved car bays, and cash-in-lieu payments for any required carbays he’s unable to squeeze in.

A VOLUNTEER group that helps people overcome narcotics addiction has been refused a discount on venue hire in Maylands.

Bayswater city council is charging Narcotics Anonymous the full rack rate of $3120 for a three-day hire of the RISE for an August conference.

Cr Graham Pittaway was unrepentant, saying the council was not a “bleeding hearts club”.

NA usually books a place in Yokine for $1000 but it was unavailable.

Cr Alan Radford says the group has nothing to do with Bayswater and as a state-wide

body doesn’t merit a discount.But Cr Chris Cornish says the

council has previously provided fi nancial support to national and statewide groups, including the WA cancer council, Telethon and the Fred Hollows Foundation.

“We dish out donations left, right and centre—didn’t we give a donation to a frisbee group—and here we are knocking back a worthy organisation who are trying to address a huge problem in society,” he told colleagues.

The self-funded NA, run by volunteers, relies on donations to survive and a hat is passed around after every meeting.

It provides a 12-step program for recovering drug addicts throughout the world and hold 24 meetings in Perth’s

metropolitan area every yearCr Marlene Robinson says

drugs touch many lives in Bayswater and it doesn’t matter where the organisation is based.

Cr Sonia Turkington was also in favour of a discount: “Goodness knows, drugs are a problem of today—narcotics is a killer.”

Around 600 people are expected to attend the NA convention, including representatives from WA correctional services and people who run homeless shelters.

Half of NA’s members are in rehabilitation centres.

The Voice contacted NA, but it didn’t get back to us.

The convention is scheduled for August 16-18.

Rehearsal reprieve

TRANBY HOUSE on the Maylands foreshore is set to become a tourist attraction, with Captain Cook Cruises set to re-launch its river cruise to the site.

Bayswater city council has voted to modify the new Tranby Jetty to accommodate larger commercial vessels, after the company expressed interest in making the heritage-listed house a stop-o point.

Cr Sonia Turkington says the National Trust has struggled to attract visitors to the circa 1839 house, and the cruise visits will provide a major tourism fi llip for Maylands. “We have a responsibility to bring tourists into Bayswater,” she says.

Council is building a $247,000 Tranby Jetty after the original fell into disrepair. It is expected to be ready by November.

Cooks’ CEO Pauline McAlinden says the plan is to o er daily cruises to Tranby, with 15-minute stopovers.

“It’s early days so we’ll need to talk with Bayswater council and Tranby House about what we can do,” she says. “The main priority is to get people back to the house and give it exposure.” The jetty will be open to all commercial vessels but the council will not charge a fee in order to avoid complications over state funding rules.

The item was brought up at the last minute and several councillors wanted more time to examine the likely impact of a larger vessel. “We want to use the river; but wisely,” Cr Mike Anderton says. “I have a background in marine engineering and I think we need to do a study on what impact these larger vessels may have on the riverbank.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support.

Authorised by the Australian Government, Capital Hill, Canberra.

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a signifi cant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a signifi cant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

ALL PLUMBING PROBLEMS

by STEPHEN POLLOCK

AN offi cial report on the $544,000 rort at Stirling city council that triggered a former employee’s suicide is nowhere in sight three years after the investigation began.

In 2010 a WA corruption and crime commission inquiry revealed collusion dating back to 2003.

Investigators believed a former building manager had received kickbacks in return for guaranteeing contracts to suppliers, regardless of whether they cost more.

The day the man was to testify in 2010 he killed

himself. Since then, a number of contractors have been charged and made to pay restitution but the CCC appears in no hurry to publish an offi cial report.

“The commission doesn’t have a date when a report on the city of Stirling will be tabled in the parliament,” CCC spokesperson Owen Cole told the Voice.

Former Stirling councillor Paul Collins says that until the report is published, a cloud of uncertainty will hang over the council: “It is now more than three years since the CCC investigation began and will be three years this November since public hearings were held which identifi ed a number of fl aws in the city’s procurement of goods and services,” he says. “One witness called to give evidence committed suicide and a number of criminal convictions have since been attained against di erent persons but we still do not a have a fi nal or even interim report.

“The CCC’s report will be very important in determining full accountability at the city for the misconduct but this will be harder to achieve the longer the CCC takes.”

In 2009 Mr Collins, along with members of the council’s audit committee, pushed for an independent audit after noticing contracts over $10,000 hadn’t been put out for tender. Their probing kickstarted a wider investigation that uncovered alleged rorting, which led to the CCC’s involvement.

Mayor David Boothman says the council has worked closely with the CCC to signifi cantly reduce the risk of future rorts.

“In terms of fi nancial checks and balances we are now the benchmark by which other councils in Australia measure themselves against.”

A PHOTO of dog poo has been handed to Vincent city councillors by a ratepayer deeply unhappy with the approval of a block of units and offi ces in North Perth

The Albert North Perth—an eight-offi ce, 11-unit project on Albert Street—was initially deferred when it went in front of council in December 2011.

The WA heritage council spoke against the development saying it would negatively impact on the neighbouring primary school’s heritage value, and the school P&C was concerned it’d block the library’s natural light.

After some rejigs it was approved by councillors in February 2012.

Now, as site works commence, three locals are opposing the project, asking councillors to reconsider the approval almost 18 months after it was given the thumbs up.

Neighbour Hesson Razavi says it’ll block out most of the sunlight from his backyard.

Nearby resident Paul O’Brien says community consultation failed because he’d only found out about the development from his neighbours.

Local Craig Willis says it shouldn’t

A PAPERWORK snafu has seen trees outside the Albert North Perth development severely overpruned.

Locals were concerned when they spotted the trees had been given a drastic haircut.

Council CEO John Giorgi says it was a mistake that so much was cut o . Vincent had received a request “to cut back the trees from the property line” and added “this is a normal request from residents/developers, which is actioned on an ongoing basis throughout the city”.

The council engaged a contractor and a crew came around to lop o some branches.

“Unfortunately, the contractor’s paperwork contained an error and

go ahead on safety grounds because the “blind” vehicle exit is near a school. He also points out that while council approved four offi ces, the developer is now advertising eight.

But Ms MacTiernan says the locals are out of luck: Nothing can be done to go back on the decision and any attempt would see the council pulled in front of

the powerful state administrative tribunal which handles planning appeals.

She says the eight offi ces instead of four are a non-issue: The council approval covered a set amount of space for a particular use and how it was divvied up wasn’t important.

The mayor says she found it hard to believe anyone could’ve been unaware of this project given the attention it received and the information that went out.

The $63,000 from the project’s per cent for art cash looks likely to be spent on a 2.8m 300kg reading light by artist Robin Yakinthou, subject to input from locals (as it’ll be put on public land near the school and not on the development site). Guiding Light”, aims to refl ect an education theme for the school next door.

It was the artist’s concept sketch of the lamp that led Mr Willis to hand dog poo pictures to councillors, asking them to seriously consider the turds as an alternative to the giant lamp.

Mr Willis was annoyed he’d had a meeting set up with council CEO John Giorgi, who didn’t show and sent minions along instead. “The lack of respect was pretty ordinary,” Mr Willis said. The council took his questions on notice and will undoubtedly work feverishly on a response.

No joy for late bemoaners

another crew attended the same job and undertook additional pruning.

“The city’s offi cers are currently liaising with the contractor regarding this matter to determine what action will be taken.” He says the trees’ shapes were already compromised by powerlines.

THE Coode Street Cafe is tucked away in the back bits of Bayswater’s

slice of Mt Lawley but the secret has been well and truly out for years now.

On a rainy Thursday lunchtime the place was heaving with customers. And little wonder, with the cafe groaning under the weight of a slew of “best breakfast” awards collected since 2007.

Breakfast, lunch, co ee and cake: Coode Street does it all brilliantly.

Take one look at the food cabinets with the contents glistening like Crown jewels and promising a sweet or savoury gem, and it’s no wonder.

The range of cakes immediately caught my attention: Too vast to mention, but suffi ce to say I wasn’t going to overdo the savouries.

Lit up like a Broadway play there were plenty of these on display too, including chicken pies, bacon and leek tarts, smoked salmon, goats cheese and asparagus tarts and quiches.

Apart from a couple of sweet things everything is made on the premises, owner Terry Burgon told the Voice.

The cafe started as a deli 20 years ago and “converted” from there, he says, adding it’s been a long process.

Getting down to business I pointed to the sweet potato and

spinach tart ($15.50).The mix of sweet potato and

the sharpness of feta, with a perfectly cooked pastry case was great, as was the homemade beetroot and pumpkin salad it came with.

It was “buyer beware” for Dave, who’d ordered the tuna patty ($15.50) without reading the fi ne print.

They were delicious but, with feta mixed through, weren’t a suitable choice for my cheese-allergy a icted man.

The waiter was a delight, whipping away the patty and in no time returning with a couple of free-range poached eggs on toast.

“Creamy,” hubby declared, his happy smile restored.

The lemon zingers ($7.50) we washed our food down with were terrifi c, the sharpness of the lemon winning out over the sweetness of the apple, and a pleasing ginger “zing” after taste.

Time to revisit the cake cabinet. “It’s like a Cherry Ripe,”

the waiter said as I eyed o a slice of the lovebite ($7.50).

One of the few cakes not made at the cafe, it came from North Fremantle sweeties Rawsome.

Based on the Paleo diet they’re raw, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, sugar-free—and one would think taste-free, but how wrong one would be. A Cherry Ripe it was, on steroids, a rich chocolate delight, topped with shredded coconut. If this is good for you, sign me up.

D’Angerous went for the lemon meringue ($7), and reckoned it could have been sharper but that didn’t stop him eating the lot.

Two hours passed in a fl ash as we talked, ate and watched the rain fall gently over the tree-lined street from the warmth of our window seat. Blissful.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Mars is loitering in Cancer. There must still be something to get in the world of

emotion. Perhaps you are feeling pensive about some of the reactions you have had in the past that you aren’t keen to repeat. Some kind of an awakening is happening. Old habits aren’t working. Renew.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Venus has moved into fellow earth sign, Virgo. To feed off the sense of satisfaction

this brings, take yourself into the bush and look at the wonders of the natural order. The spine of a leaf, the colours of a rock, the texture of a tree, is where the food of natural beauty lies. Savour it.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)Mercury is staying in Cancer for a little while longer. That means there’s

a whole lot of emotion colouring your view of the world. As much as you would like to put up a wall and pretend it isn’t there, it is – and it will be. till you stop resisting. Be a little muddy, vulnerable and open.

CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)There’s an inordinate amount of energy fl owing through the water

signs, of which you are one. That means the current of emotion you have been dipping your toes in, just got deeper and stronger. Even the heat of the Aries Moon can’t shunt you from following your feelings.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)The Sun has moved into Leo, which sets a large portion of your being to rest. There is still however, a large

torrent of energy fl owing through the emotional water signs. There is still a great need for a rudder. You aren’t in it up to your ears any more, but balance is required.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)Venus has moved into Virgo. The goddess of love is walking through your garden.

This is an important time to get it, that there’s no confl ict between simple pleasure and your spirit’s longing. The spiritual and the mundane are two poles of the same energy. Kindy leads to uni.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)It’s a tricky time for Libran’s. Venus is in Virgo. She’s grounding love but to air

signs that feels like a bit of a downer. It’s a misconcep-tion but one to be worked through. Flight isn’t the only pleasurable sensation. You may be called on to offer confl icting parties some sage advice.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)It’s a winning time for water signs. Life is supporting feeling above all

else. Emotionality and feeling are two very different things. Don’t mistake one for the other. Feeling comes with awareness - and is wise. Emotionality is cathartic and wild but as blind as a fl ying fox.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)There is an interesting astrological clash going on between those parts

of ourselves that feel deeply and those that skim across the surface, reacting impetuously to all that is in front of our eyes. Your job is to go a little deeper and resolve this tension with added understanding.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)There’s a big question bubbling up. It’s to do with the issue of how to be

yourself without getting so hardline that you shut other people out. In the process of protecting integrity, certain other precious qualities get lost. There are other ways to go about this. Think beyond the box.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Everything in you wants to move impetuously. Maybe you really do have to

follow this for a while, even though to your friends it looks like you’re taking the hard path. The beauty about the space you are in now, is that you are living and learning things for yourself. That’s good.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)There is a huge run of energy for the water signs – and there’s nothing

more watery than a fi sh. Go with your feelings. There really is no other way. Life will remind you to stay grounded every now and again. The lovely little things need as much attention as the really big things.

Spray will whip it off in a fl ash. Also great for paint or ink marks on clothes, shoes or furnishings, or cleaning scuff marks from vinyl fl oors.

Lovely LaundryStubborn stains? With the grime-busting

properties of natural eucalyptus, a spray of Bosisto’s before laundering will help lift grubby dirt, grass and oil stains from clothes.

Rubbish Bins & ToiletsTh ere’s nothing worse than rubbish bin and toilet

odours… and there’s nothing that eliminates them quicker than Bosisto’s Eucalyptus Spray. Use it on household bins, nappy bins, compost and wheelie bins and in the bathroom for a long-lasting Aussie bush aroma.

Get fresh with Bosisto’sGenerations of Aussie families have grown up with the distinctive aroma of Bosisto’s ‘Parrot’ brand Eucalyptus Oil. With its fresh scent and endless natural uses for health and home, Bosisto’s remains a much-loved favourite in today’s modern homes.

Th e eucalyptus harvesting process is one that is naturally renewable and sustainable, with many extra environmental benefi ts.

Eventually, each tree will become part of Australian history, helping revitalise an industry that’s as much a part of our culture as thongs and beach barbecues - keeping jobs and profi ts in Australia.

JUST when you thought every last drop of green blood had been squeezed

out of the zombie genre, along comes Michael Logan with Apocalypse Cow (Forget the cud, they want blood...).

The novel’s a satire about cattle transformed into human-eating zombies, after a secret government bio-weapon goes awry.

As Britain descends into zombie chaos, ministers cynically blame al-Qaeda.

Only a twisted Glaswegian could write about heifers stomping about Britain, munching on nubile girls and having sex with lollipop men.

“It’s a biting social and political satire through the sadly underused medium of zombie cows,” quips Logan.

“I have always loved zombies and wanted to write a light-hearted novel in the genre without being repetitive.

“It struck me that nobody had done zombie animals, which struck me as a little odd given that most global pandemics that are supposed to wipe out the world start with animals (SARS, bird fl u, etc).”

Logan’s debut novel is a testament to the dark British sense of humour—the penumbra between uneasiness and laughter.

The kind exemplifi ed in UK TV shows The League of Gentlemen and The Thick of It.

Logan, 42, says growing up in Glasgow helped forge his mordant wit.

“Glaswegians are simultaneously very dark and very funny people,” he says.

“It can often be diffi cult to tell whether somebody is screaming abuse at you or telling a joke.

“Sometimes they seem to be the same thing.”

Logan made his fi ction-writing breakthrough in 2011: As joint winner of The Terry Pratchett fi rst novel award he was given a publishing deal.

For many years, he was an author trapped in an engineer’s body.

He spent his 20s working as an electronics engineer in the gloomy central belt of Scotland, satisfying his creative urge by playing guitar in bands and drinking lots of beer.

On turning 30 he started to dabble with fi ction and quickly found recognition when a number of his short stories

ARTSSTEPHEN POLLOCK

appeared in literary journals.Buoyed by success, Logan

moved with his then-partner to Budapest and tried his hand at journalism, learning Hungarian and working at The Budapest Times.

“I felt no love nor particular natural aptitude for engineering, so getting out to do something I loved felt wonderful,” he says.

In 2008, he and his wife—who works in humanitarian aid—relocated again to Kenya.

Logan, who still works as a journo in Nairobi, says African culture is a great muse.

“The thing I love the most about Kenya and the wider continent is that everything is changing so quickly,” he says.

“There is chaos and energy and a loose attitude towards rules, which creates a sense of freedom you don’t feel in developed nations.

“It is defi nitely stimulating.”Apocalypse Cow was released

in Australia this month.(The Ed says: Pedants may recall

the 2006 NZ fl ick, “Black Sheep”, about killer sheep feasting on people but of course they were mutants, not zombies.)

WITH the world agog at the imminent arrival of a new royal baby, it seemed

appropriate to be reviewing a home on Queen Street, as I’d been hoping for a girl.

The little princess would have made history, with recent historic changes to succession laws meaning a fi rst-born girl is no longer passed over for a younger brother.

Of course given the longevity of the Windsors, she’d have had to wait awhile, with Liz going strong, Charles next in line and then her own dad.

This three-bedroom Bayswater home too has longevity on its side.

It’s one of the original homesteads in the area, and the lovely four-bedroom, weatherboard cottage has plenty of grace, charm and elegance, as befi tting the Swan colony’s squattocracy.

Embracing the home the wrap-around verandah gazes out over a swathe of grass, rose beds and a central fountain.

ESTATEJENNY D’ANGEREEEEEEJE

Come spring the view will be framed with gorgeous, dripping bunches of mauve wisteria, thanks to an ancient vine stretching the length of the verandah.

As to be expected in a home of this vintage, the ceilings are high, jarrah fl oors fl ow, and there’s plenty of decorative fi re places and ceiling roses.

A section of the verandah has been enclosed forming a huge dressing-room and ensuite for the main bedroom.

Winter or summer the central lounge is a refuge from the hurly burly, with a beautiful fi replace and elegant French doors to the verandah.

A rear extension houses the kitchen/dining area.

The kitchen is a spacious domain with timber-fronted cupboards and plenty of bench space.

From the sink you can see the Darling Ranges, and watch planes coming and

going at the international airport—but it’s far enough away for the sound to be on mute, the vendor says.

Step through a bank of doors to the covered patio and you’d think you were in the country with a swathe of grass and terraced garden looking out across the leafy suburb’s many trees to the hills beyond.

Despite the “country” feel this delightful home, sitting on 1009sqm, is central to a swag of shops, cafes and restaurants, and you’ll have no excuse for being late catching a plane. For more sedate pursuits closer to home, the river foreshore is a short walk away.
