Let’s give it backby STEVE GRANT

THE Round House has become too expensive for Fremantle council to maintain and should be handed back to the state government, according to mayoral candidate Hannah Fitzhardinge.

“It’s like trying to keep a pet elephant on a minimum wage,” Cr Fitzhardinge said.

Given its roles as the Swan River Colony’s first gaol, and later as a holding cell for Indigenous people on their way to imprisonment on Wadjemup/Rottnest Island, she said it would be ideally

run by Fremantle Prison.“It’s the oldest building

in the state and is part of the story around the Prison and Wadjemup.”

Cr Fitzhardinge would include the Whaler’s Tunnel in the handover, but says whether the entire vesting of Arthur Head should be handed back needed more discussion.

OptimisticBut she says a council

having responsibility for such a significant and large heritage asset was something she hadn’t identified anywhere else in Australia.

“In the 80s when the city took up the vesting, they were probably optimistic about how much money it could make,” she said.

The council is in the throws of spending about $1 million on repairs to the tunnel, surrounding cliffs and Round House, but she says that’s “just the just-urgent works” and at least another $1 million is needed.

Cr Fitzhardinge said the looming 2029 bicentenary of the colony’s founding provided a great opportunity for the state government to show some of the port city’s heritage “some love” given Arthur

Head was where Captain Fremantle first stepped on the mainland.

Money saved from looking after the Round House could go into improving the city’s infrastructure, which in some cases is literally held together with gaffer tape.

Budget constraints“I think by and large the

council staff want to do a good job, and even they are frustrated by the budget constraints,” she said while examining the South Beach playground equipment swathed in black tape.

“We need a massive

lick of paint on our park benches and riverfront and oceanfront infrastructure.

“Everything doesn’t need to be sanitised with lines and hard edges, but you should be able to find a bench that’s safe and flooring that’s even.

“Right now we are a ‘fixer-upper’,” she said of the port city.

Cr Fitzhardinge said the council should also look at adopting a developer contribution scheme based on the one operating in Cockburn for the last decade.

“The difference, and why is probably has not happened here before,

is because Cockburn is greenfield.

“Because we don’t have that we have to look at a contribution for more diverse and larger developments.”

She said the scheme could involve quarantining funds to ensure they went into providing amenities, or it could incorporate some planning concessions.

She also reiterated her call for Notre Dame to “play a more significant role to compensate for their impact on the city” nominating students parking for free then using the CAT bus to get into the city for their studies.

• Mayoral candidate Hannah Fitzhardinge says the Round House is too much for a small council to look after, but the looming 2029 bicentenary of the Swan River Colony was the perfect opportunity for the state government to show some of Fremantle’s heritage some love. Not forking out for the expensive Round House could mean kids get to play on playgrounds

Absence of Accountability to Community Values Principles

and the Rule of Law.Local Government Accountability means:• Whatever is promised is actually achieved• And what is achieved is analysed and improved

again and again until what was promised satisfies the community

• And that the plan, project, task, review, reform investigation enforcement or process is not complete until the community is satisfied

• And that the personal views and values of employed executives and elected members do not satisfy any determination of accountability

Throughout the political spin across the local government reform process, there has been no evidence any change made or planned, had any credence in delivering accountability to the Minister’s mantra. Without respect for Model Local Government Policies, the Act. reform process itself is nothing more than a fool’s errand.

Despite community benefit being the long-stated WA Local Government Act., purpose, neither the Act. nor current reforms deliver any measurable governance benefit to protect community values. A good rule is recognised by its clarity of purpose and measured outcome. A good rule is open to inspection and accountable to its purpose. Enforcement of a good rule cannot be perverted to benefit the enforcer. A good rule is universal in application, irrespective of election, employment, volunteer, or public classification.

Because WA Local Government legislation and its ‘reforms’ apply segregation, prejudice and bias, they exploit known oppressive bullying techniques. Defined attributes of good ‘Rule of Law’ principles are failed by enforcing unmeasurable outcomes. As example. O� ensively high salaries of local government executives result from failed governance of perversely constructed rules designed to increase power or salary benefit absent from community benefit accountability. Nepotism is sponsored in local government employment through this legislative construction style.

Applying Local Government Model Governance Policy, guides lazy or recalcitrant local government executives to apply measured good governance to:• Accountability in measuring outcome impacts• Openness for potential of detriment or harm• Accountability to good management practices• Accountability to processes for improvement• Accountability to discrimination or prejudice free

enforcements• Accountability to universality in applying law • Accountability to integrity of inclusion of

Community engagement in compliance and governance management

Inept local government law has created at least six (6) behaviour standards to be applied to di� erent classes. Some legislated, some by executive rule, each indi� erently enforced. Good governance integrity consistency is noticeably absent from State ‘model code of conduct’ reforms.

Had the State’s “Better Regulation Program” been used to test for consistency conflict, examples like this would have been identified and corrected. Members of community are best placed to identify failures and o� er best practice remedy. Councils not including appropriate community membership on their governance committees are setting themselves up for governance failure and ine� icient local government management.

Adoption of Model Local Government Governance Policy is a guidance tool for managing good governance into local government practices.

Absence of Good GovernanceHave you noticed that Local Government rules, laws, codes and standards do not include a model code for good governance practices? Model Local Government Governance Policy is a code for good governance practice.

Good governance is the proving of competence of a rule, law, code or standard to the achievement of its purposed outcome. Unfortunately, local government governance is more often practiced as the enforcement of perversion of intent by benefit of vexatious or financial pleasures to employed executives.

Good governance is measuring, analysing and ensuring:• What is wanted by community is progressed• What is progressed is planned• What is planned is done• What is done conforms to its intended community

benefit outcome• Corrections for non-compliance are made• Community decides when the final result has been

achieved

You may also have noticed poor transferability of executive employment from the local government sector to the private sector. Application of protective parallel legislation in the local government sector restricts the learning of good governance skills necessary for successful transition to private sector employment.

Perhaps the Perth Casino Royal Commission will shed some light on the governance leadership of this Department. “One of the royal commission’s terms of reference is whether … the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) adequately managed any conflicts of interest by sta� …!

Enforcement BlindnessHave you noticed that enforcement of integrity standards is highly prejudiced against community values? Opportunity for members of the community to obtain justice is rare, as in most cases the community member is forced to pay a high penalty to prove their integrity. Melville City abuses delivered sta� immunity to:• Intentionally falsifying a report to a member of

Parliament expressly to cause harm • Misused funds to publish falsified reports for the

express purpose of causing detriment• Filed at least 5 trivial obviously vexatious

prosecutions expressly to cause harm• Supported if not employed, public media trolls

expressly to cause harm• Used their position to threaten contracts of parties

not engaging in mobbing campaigns

These and more governance failures show the Act. is perverted to fail protection of Community.

Enforcements are a poorly understood measure of management incompetence. For it is management practices which encourage and enable creation of ‘o� ences.’ Competence challenged executives openly use enforcements to disguise absence of good governance management skills.

Fines, prosecutions and similar penalisations are the weakest of all available management tools, for they drive underground, resentment, which later festers into costly management impediments.

There is a direct exponential relationship between a willingness to punish and retributory costs consequently wreaked upon the foolish punisher.

Persons who promote mobbing and bullying through fines, prosecutions or similar punishments are not fit to be employed, as their arrogance interferes with good governance management. Investigations into individual local governments are littered with classic examples of where enforcement blindness caused detriment.

Impact Not AssessedGood governance knowledge and skill is so frighteningly poor in the Dept. of Local Government itself, that the public can have no confidence, community benefit was ever a serious consideration across the current Local Government Act reform process. The Dept. o� handedly states; “the department, ensures that its legislative processes are in keeping with the requirements of the State Government’s Regulatory Impact Assessment process”. (RIA) Yet even a cursory glance at the State’s “Better Regulation Program,” which replaces the RIA, confirms there is no functional comparison between even the designed reform process structure and the State’s analysis guidelines. Had the Dept. shown good governance leadership, they would have rushed to publish confirmed research knowledge, demonstrating relationship confidence in cause-and-e� ect of proposed or applied ‘reforms.’ Political bias was applied to its reform process in absence of competence-measures testing. They fail to demonstrate employment of skill or knowledge to be able to identify, measure or prove integrity of their claim that “a proper assessment of options, including consultation with stakeholders, has occurred”. However, there is much published demonstrating their governance failure to:• Review without prejudice and bias• Test competence of assessments• Include all options• Assess for conflict, detriment and hidden harm• Consult for alternative views and options• Engage in equality and integrity with communities

These are now the regulatory impediments and red tape extensions Councils will need to deal with to best service their communities. Model Local Government Governance Policy is a readily available guidance tool to overcome regulatory impediments.

For example: Minister Cary’s forewarning of “Earlier Intervention, Streamlined Resolution, Stronger Penalties” delivers a frightening threat that causation removal and repair is to be obscured by enhancing autocratic bullying and intimidatory regimes. Which e� ect has already proven, extends disputation.

Given Council and local government roles in regulation, governance and enforcement, the Dept. of Treasury, “Better Regulation Program” (BRP) guidelines should be a compulsory inclusion to the education requirement of new councillors and Council business management manuals.

Model Local Government Governance Policy redirect intervention toward root cause analysis and installation of proven improvement remedies. Thus, ensuring sustainable outcomes and removing the currently regularly used element of bullying and intimidation from the local government armoury.

Establishing Model Local Government Governance Policy, would guide Councils and local government to overcome legislated debilities and focus toward establishing accountability integrity to the Community across all local government governance functions.

INDIGENOUS artists will shine at Fremantle’s Biennale festival running from November 5-21 this year.

Fremantle Biennale artistic director and co-founder Tom Mùller said at the festival’s launch at the Naval Store last Friday (August 20) the artists involved would add a new contemporary layer to “interrogate, reveal, and celebrate the cultural, social and historical uniqueness” of the Whadjuk Noongar people’s land.

Works in this year’s program include a look at Noongar stories through the stars and a performance which takes its inspiration from Black Lives Matter chants to bring together Noongar singers and dancers with a large brass ensemble on the banks of the Swan River where bull sharks would cross from the salt to fresh water.

Bundjulung artist and choreographer Amrita Hepi’s project Outside In aims to connect people “in moments of isolation”. Although it was inspired by a radio program which helped people in prison connect with their loved ones,

Indigenous focus for Freo Biennale

USING one of the latest human innovations, Moombaki uses 160 drones to present ancient Indigenous Dreaming stories found in the stars.

Indigenous artist Ilora

her performance has added meaning this year, with much of the world in isolation because of Covid-19.

Hepie has set up an international hotline for people to make dedications and song requests for loved ones they are missing, which will be put to a soundtrack that she will accompany with dance.

Speaking to a crowd dressed in black and navy blue, fellow Biennale co-founder Corine Van Hall said the festival had helped created conversations between Noongar and non-Indigenous artists.

The festival is held every two years in the Noongar season of Kambarang, and began in 2017.

This year’s includes 18 immersive artworks, performances and digital media.

The artists worked closely with traditional owners for 18 months to present an accurate representation of First Nations’ history, and how they experienced the cultural and spiritual significance of the land.

The Biennale’s title this year is Crossing 21, and performances are being held across Fremantle, Cockburn, Melville and Coogee Beach.

McGuire collaborated with local elders to develop the show, which shows how stories described in the stars and constellations are connected to Whadjuk land. It will be performed on the banks of the Swan River in Fremantle from

November 5-7, and Attadale from November 12-14, with the final performance at Coogee Beach on November 19-20.

McGuire is a Noongar/Kungarakan woman whose ancestry extends from Whadjuk country to the Fitzmaurice region in the Northern Territory.

She is currently studying a bachelor of fine arts at Curtin University.

The project was “an educational tool for Indigenous people to pass on traditional stories”, McGuire said at the Biennale launch.

Elder Karen Jacobs, who collaborated on Moombaki, said she and other traditional owners were grateful for the opportunity to share their culture through new technologies.

Moombaki got support from mining magnate Andrew Forrest’s Minderoo Foundation, the Federal government and local drone company Global Unmanned Systems.

Performances:Each of the performances

start at 7.30pm.

• Indigenous Australians were amongst the oldest astronomers, now Ilora McGuire is giving their stories an ultra-modern twist.

Hands off!MELVILLE City Council you have to be joking.

The wave park idea was bad enough but you have stepped up a level with your recent proposal for Burke Drive.

Two more ovals plus a netball court with lighting towers would completely destroy the ambience of this unique area.

The noise and traffic build-up in the area and parking everywhere including down side streets would be horrendous.

There are numerous ovals 400 hundred metres away at Troy and Tompkins parks.

What or who is behind this ludicrous plan to destroy this area which has become so popular with residents and dog walkers?

Yes it could do with some upgrading with maybe some exercise

equipment and picnic tables plus the clearing of some dead trees away.

Otherwise just LEAVE IT ALONE.Trish Attadale

... because life is sweet enough!

by DAISY WEBSTER

A MELVILLE councillor is standing his ground in a dispute with his own council over whether he completed a penalty imposed by the department of local government.

Cr Steve Kepert was ordered to apologise to the administrator of a Facebook page and the community over a 2018 post criticising the tone of comments being posted, and to undertake a course in being an effective councillor.

He appealed the three findings of minor misconduct, but lost, and two years later the department told CEO Marten Tieleman to take him to the SAT because it hadn’t been provided with evidence to show he’d done the course.

And this is when it started to get messy.

Cr Kepert applied in June 2019 for the council to fund his legal fees for the SAT fight.

He was successful, but a month later his colleagues turned on him when councillors Karen Wheatland, Nicole Robins, Matthew Woodall, June Barton and Clive Robartson put their signatures to a rescission motion; that requires at least a third of the council to even make it onto the agenda.

Kepert digs in over stat dec

• Steve Kepert

“We are there to represent the people,” said Cr Wheatland, who hadn’t been at the June meeting that approved the payment and co-ordinated the fightback.

“I believe the councillor needs to prove either that he has or hasn’t done the training and not take the hard-earned money of residents and ratepayers who are doing it tough in these Covid times,” she wrote in the preamble to the motion.

“The proof could just be supplied by the councillor to stop this whole process from happening.”

LawyersCr Kepert also agreed

that too much money had been spent on lawyers (he estimates at least $20,000), but his view is that the council is pursuing him unnecessarily anyway.

He also claims the council never asked him directly for any evidence he’d done the training.

“They never bothered to ask me, they simply took legal action against me.”

But mayor George Gear said this was “completely false”.

Mr Gear said he understood Cr Kepert had been asked at least twice for evidence of training. Other than that, the mayor didn’t really want to get involved, saying “I’m not even a part

of this”.Cr Kepert said he

met the council’s “legal advisors” at a confidential conference on Thursday August 12, providing them with a statutory declaration affirming he had completed the ordered training, but not receipts.

But from there he was unsure whether the process would go, and whether his term expiring in October would have any impact – an issue no one seemed to have an idea about.

Despite being found guilty of criticising an

online community web page, Cr Kepert’s views on government officials using social media to voice opinions has not changed.

“We still have big problems, there are politically motivated people who are unsafe to Melville residents.”

Cr Wheatland said social media was a good platform to speak to the community, but it could get the unwary into trouble and dramas could escalate quickly.

“As long as you adhere to guidelines it’s fine,” she said.

TWO luminaries from Fremantle’s history brigade have been honoured by having a local scholarship named after them.

The Ron and Dianne Davidson Research Scholarship offers $2,000 for new research contributing to the understanding of the history and heritage of Fremantle.

Mr Davidson died last October, while his wife lives in an aged care facility in North Fremantle.

They were long-time members of the Fremantle History Society which is offering the scholarship, but also active in the Fremantle Society whose exploits preserving the city’s heritage buildings they chronicled in their successful book Fighting for

Fremantle.FHS treasurer Anne Brake, who

worked with the pair on many projects, described them as “dear friends and fellow committee members, authors, historians and heritage/history warriors”.

Ms Brake said the research would mostly be for a 5000-8000 word monograph to be presented at the society’s Fremantle Studies Day held each October and published in its annual journal.

“We would, however, be happy to consider other forms of publication and presentation – but it must be based on new research.

“This is a pretty impressive undertaking for a local history society and I think it’s unique in WA and possibly Australia,” she said, stressing the “possibly”.

Applications for the scholarship close Friday September 24 and the application form can be downloaded from https://fhs.org.au

Scholarly honour

This is general information that is not personal fi nancial, investment or taxation advice, and does not take into account your personal circumstances. Do not act based on this information without fi rst obtaining the advice of a suitably qualifi ed professional.

I was recently asked this great question by a 20 year old. “If you had your time again, would you

make different investment decisions?” My immediate response was that I would invest into the share market earlier.

I’ve since refl ected on that question. I bought my fi rst property in 1988 just after my 20th birthday. Even though the $49,000 price tag stretched me (yes really), the reward was that I got a foot in the market early which enabled me to keep up with the growth of that sector and then upgrade as I needed or wanted to.

I guess this is why I didn’t invest as early as I would have liked to in the share market, especially as the interest rate on my home loan peaked at 18.5% two years after purchase. But I still no doubt could have made some sacrifi ces to put more aside into other investments.

With the benefi t of hindsight and the wisdom of middle age I now understand the incredible power of compound interest, and how much better off I might have been if my decisions in youth were just a little bit different.

A slightly wiser man than me called Albert Einstein once said “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the

world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.”

I opened my fi rst share trading account at age 30 with a couple of small picks in companies I knew. Over the next few years I expanded my holdings to a dozen or more investments. Hardly a diverse portfolio, but better than nothing.

These days diversity is so much easier. There are now over 300 ASX listed securities (known as ETFs or LICs) that themselves hold a diverse portfolio of equities, meaning you can invest in one and get an immediate spread across a whole range of other companies, commodities or sectors. Some are tied to an index like the ASX 300 or a sustainability index. Index based funds have minimal management and have costs as low as 0.1%.

by Mark Douglas FCPAManaging Partner of Francis A Joneswww.faj.com.au

So if I had my time again I’d invest more in the share market to access the power of the eighth wonder. If I had invested just $100 per week from the time I was 20, and got a 5% return, that portfolio would now be worth $436,000. A 10% return would give me $1,341,000. By the time I’m 65, my portfolio would be worth $879,000 at 5% growth and $4,551,000 at 10%.

By the way, Australian shares have returned 9.7% over the last 30 years.

As they say, “The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is now.”

With the benefi t of hindsight and the wisdom of middle age I now understand the incredible power of compound interest

THE number of vacant shops and commercial properties around

Fremantle’s CBD is a highly visible problem.

Vacancy spreads like a virus. It makes us feel

disconnected; it has an insidious psychological effect on a personal and community level. It affects our pride.

But what is the cause, and what can we do about it?

It’s time to start having an open and honest conversation about empty buildings so we can help return our streets to their vibrant and thriving potential.

When it comes to vacancies there are many factors at play; online shopping, cautious spending, bad business, urban sprawl, fast fashion and a pandemic.

Yet almost 90 per cent of Australian retail spending continues to pass through bricks and mortar premises.

And the problem isn’t a lack of businesses hoping to operate in Freo.

Spacemarket has a list of (over 30) exciting tenants who would love to open up in our CBD.

These are interesting, independent and innovative businesses – the type every town desires, the type that make people visit, browse and stay.

They are not “allied” mining businesses - a solution suggested in a previous Herald article (“Trade coast hope to fill empty Freo shops,” August 21, 2021).

The main problem here is that landlords refuse to reduce rents to meet the market.

And the reality is, if you own or inherit a

property within a C B D you should – in the

name of economic prosperity, community,

tourism – have an obligation to do something

with it.Freo, like many city-centres,

is in a post-gentrification market.

Prestige tenants are not interested in joining deserted high streets.

The gentrification boom, when brands take note of

A vaccine to Freo’s vacancy pandemic

SARAH BOOTH and KATE HULETT are the hardworking souls behind Spacemarket, which pairs disused spaces with useful

people. Since 2011, Spacemarket has matched over 400 tenants with more than 40,000m2 of floorspace, including the MANY projects in Fremantle. Spacemarket have mapped out the vacant spaces in Fremantle CBD, many of which have sat empty for more than two years. In this week’s THINKING ALLOWED they argue Freo shouldn’t be looking to fill shops with businesses allied with industry from the Western Trade Coast, but with funky, interesting retailers who’ll help draw back the crowds.

a place, move in, and drive up rents through demand, is over.

Those high-value tenants have moved out, but rental rates have not

adjusted accordingly.

Put simply, rents need to drop. Just like when a

residential property owner leases a property, they adjust the rent to an amount people are willing to pay.

Why do we not see this reflected in the commercial property market?

One factor is that keeping rents high allows property owners to maintain the ‘on paper’ valuation of their asset.

So, for many landlords, there’s no incentive to decrease the rent.

An empty property also acts as a tax write-off, which can be appealing for some property owners too.

In short, it can be beneficial to leave properties empty.

The impact of allowing these commercial spaces to remain

vacant is that

regeneration is stunted.

It’s a Catch-22

— to attract bigger tenants

back to our centres, we need

to make our cities healthy again. Yet prosperity and

growth won’t cycle back around while there are streets

full of empty shops.Property owners can’t ride

this out and direct the blame elsewhere.

They are a vital part of the solution and need to actively assist in re-establishing economic prosperity.

Offering market-aligned or at-cost rent will help get Freo back up and running.

It will benefit the businesses, consumers and the city.

It will even benefit the landlord.

It will save our city.We need to support those

landlords who actively seek to rent their properties, and penalise those who leave them empty – our city depends upon it.

Yet prosperity and growth won’t cycle back around while

there are streets full of empty shops.

It’s a Catch-22 — to attract bigger tenants back to our

centres, we need to make our cities healthy again

FREMANTLE council has been given $3.25 million from the McGowan government to continue its fight to save Port Beach.

In 2019 a series of storms caused the beach’s dunes to collapse, threatening to send buildings including Coast cafe and changerooms into the ocean. Since then the council has developed a plan to hold back the tide for 10 years before retreating and rebuilding back from the dunes.

The city extended the sea walls along the front of the beach, and dumped sand as a temporary emergency measure, but that has since washed away.

“The sea walls did exactly what they were implemented for and protected the infrastructure,” a spokesperson from the council said.

Transport and planning minister Rita Saffioti announced the extra funding at the beach on August 24 as part of an $18.5 million top-up to manage coastal erosion across Western Australia.

Ms Saffioti said Fremantle’s allocation would be for a sand nourishment program to protect the beach and its surrounding infrastructure.

The council will need approval from the Environmental Protection Agency to begin placing 150,000 cubic metres of sand, to ensure it doesn’t end up ruining Cottesloe’s beaches and sea grass areas.

“As a department we’re getting better and better, working with councils, making

sure we don’t move the problem from one part of the beach to the next,” Ms Saffioti said.

The sand will be managed over a 10-year timeframe while it is expected to travel north, although most of it will return as the seasons change.

“From time to time we may actually have to go to Leighton and then dig up some of that sand and move it back. That’s called back passing,” the council spokesperson said.

The council’s goal is to move the infrastructure at Port Beach and let nature take its course, but the state government has raised concerns about relocating.

“If we let the infrastructure just fall away, the cost of trying to replicate it would be very high,” Ms Saffioti said.

The council believes the state government wants to protect its assets. “From the states point of view, they’ve got other assets there like Port Beach Drive, the port itself, and the rail line, that they probably want to protect.”

Somewhere between 1960 and 1970, a nearby Caltex depot closed, and fuel tanks were removed. State government departments dumped beach sand over below-surface infrastructure to hide it.

Several years later, the Port Beach foreshore was handed to the council and since then erosion has caused some of this debris to come to the surface and wash into the ocean.

This reduced beach amenity, and left car parks and existing buildings vulnerable to storm erosion. The council spokesperson said the extent of the contamination wasn’t known when the council took over the beach, while environmental authorities at the time had signed off the remediation as Caltex and Ampol sites as meeting legal requirements.

The Herald contacted Coast restaurant and cafe owner Ian Hutchinson for comment. He has previously said he wants a more permanent solution.

• Erosion has seen infrastructure emerging from the dunes.

FRIDAY 17 SEPTEMBER 2021

by CARSON BODIE

APPROACHING a chess game in motion, many an observer has asked: “Who’s winning?”

The mates at Fremantle Chess Community are more interested in asking; “How are you?

For a game with a long history of famous egos, it’s somewhat surprising to hear chess described as a creative and spiritual endeavour, a pursuit of artistry, melody and intuition to which each player brings something new, valuable, and welcome.

This is the attitude at the heart of FCC, which was founded by Ben Gray, Toby Lhyne and Ned Robles after an encounter at South Fremantle small bar Percy Flint they all agree was serendipitous.

PhilosophyThe trio recognised a likeness

of philosophy right away, but Mr Lhyne credits the game itself with allowing them to develop real intimacy.

“When your mind is focused on chess and your heart is facing someone, it just opens you up in a certain way,” he said.

“We do all the small talk on the board and then the real talk comes through,” says Mr Gray.

Self expression is central to the unique ethic of the group, whose members value the artistic quality of play. The three say the misconception that there is the ‘right’ move in chess is partially responsible for the game’s elitist reputation.

By expanding chess to a broader and more creative definition, the Community makes space for all kinds of people to

participate who may otherwise be uninterested or intimidated. “It’s a juicy game, really,” says Mr Robles.

Mr Lhyne says the game is “too big” to be accounted for with a purely theoretical or mathematical approach. “You can’t run every possibility,” so he has learned to tap into his intuition.

The opportunity for wordless self-expression is perhaps the catalyst for their connection; each can pick out elements of their opponent’s play that speak to their character and values.

Mr Lhyne describes Mr Robles’ play as “spiritual”, and while

his own is “risky and colourful” according to the latter, he prefers “funky and sporadic”.

“Ben loves the pawns,” Mr Lhyne says of Mr Gray.

“He’s a man of the people.”

PawnsMr Gray believes pawns are

“wildly underused”, adding cheekily that the collective willingness to sacrifice them so freely speaks poorly of society’s respect for the working class.

Mr Gray and Mr Lhyne started playing chess while working together at Little Creatures,

playing more heavily during the lockdown at the beginning of last year as a way to stay connected.

Mr Robles, who has taken on a position of unofficial mentorship within the Community, has been playing since the age of seven. He credits his view of chess as a game offering something more to 1972 Aussie chess champ Trevor Hay, who died in 2016.

He was “a truly beautiful human being and a master of the game”, he says.

He recalls Mr Hay, a highly accomplished player, asking his opinion about a move despite the gulf of experience between them.

In that moment, he understood what it meant to play with grace and inclusivity. “It changed me,” he says.

Mr Hay pays it forward by asking people to bring used clothing to group meetings, which he drops off at St Pat’s.

It was the spirit of inclusivity that inspired a name change from a club to a community, particularly among women who may have been put off by the often accurate perception of chess as a boys’ club.

For the most part, the trio have allowed the club to develop organically, and have been surprised by some of its developments. They meet twice a week, Tuesday and Friday evenings at Percy Flint.

While there’s no thought of excluding women, they say the natural development of space for men to express vulnerability has become integral to their lives and mental health.

Mr Gray says the meetings have become something akin to a “mental health support group”.

“The chess serves as an icebreaker in a more meaningful way than just chit-chat. And what I’ve found very unexpected, but what it’s led to is some really great conversations that I don’t think would normally happen between individual males of various ages without such a forum.”

Anyone is welcome to join either “jam,” as the events are called, and updates can be found on the Fremantle Chess Community Facebook page. “We’re about welcoming people,” says Mr Lhyne.

No one should feel intimidated based on their level of experience, adds Mr Gray. “Rules are secondary to fun.

OUR universities are undergoing dramatic reductions in faculty

numbers. Courses are being

restructured and majors in social sciences and STEM disciplines are being made unavailable.

Why is this happening and what does it mean for our university staff, students, and graduates?

These are the questions that The Fremantle Network and five amazing speakers will be tackling with the Politics in the Pub audience at The Local Hotel on Tuesday night.

While my role is usually to organise the events and then let the speakers and audience bring the magic, this month’s topic is close to home.

I spent my twenties pursuing an academic career while working on my thesis, “The Precariat, Ph.D.: On Disposable Academics and the University System”.

The first in my family to go to university, the desire to become an academic was sparked on contact with the Longeragan lecture theatre at Murdoch University, where Dr Ian Cook blew my mind with his weekly lectures for the intro unit Structure, Thought and Reality (STAR).

Five years later I gave my own lecture on the fathers of sociology in the same packed theatre. It was a major personal milestone: I wasn’t paid much, but I put all my time and passion into it and my best mates came to support me on the day.

LecturesI’m told that the recording of

the lecture was used for a few years after, though I never heard anything about this from the university.

From there I swung from unit to unit, across the non-teaching periods of unemployment, working for free on publications and on presentations for conferences that I had to pay to attend.

To my mind it was all worth it. When there was work, I loved it, and everything else served to make me that little bit more competitive for the real goal: continuing employment – a career. Even my PhD thesis was initially intended to improve my knowledge of the higher education system and the world of academics – the title came later.

In 2020, following years of research into the state of play,

CHRISTIAN MAURI is one of the organisers of Politics in the Pub, the Fremantle Network’s thought-provoking gathering over a pint where the audience mixes it with experts on issues from business during Covid to electric vehicles. This Tuesday (August 31) they’re doing it again, looking at the somewhat depressing changes foisted on Australian universities. It’s at The Local Hotel from 7pm.

and having seen firsthand how the academics that inspired me and the values that I admired were being treated by our universities, I decided that my future would be more lovingly spent outside of the higher education sector.

This is fine, for life is long: exploration, changing paths, and all that jazz are part of the deal.

What is important is that we recognise and discuss the changes that are taking place before us, be they at UWA, Murdoch, or in the projections awaiting high school leavers in years to come.

For many, the restructuring of our institutions, reimagining of our workforces, and recalibration of our values around education are all cause for serious concern and sincerest commiserations.

For others, they are difficult responses to a changing world that presents exciting opportunities.

Having spent years looking into the topic, first with my heart as an undergraduate with stars in my eyes, and then with my head as a PhD with aspirations for a relatively secure family life, I’ve come to appreciate that there are always more edges, planes, and angles to the discussion.

Tuesday’s event is an opportunity to hear from a professor, a student rep, a journalist, a union man, and even a former vice-provost from over east who recently made Fremantle her home.

But the speakers are only half of the story: Politics in the

Pub is about audience input and warm conversation over a good meal at the lovely Local – no prior experience or credentials required. We kick off at 7pm and encourage you to get in early to secure a comfortable spot with friends.

Chop-chopartsSTEPHEN POLLOCK

CHOPPER’S back.The classic Australian

movie has been digitally remastered for a 20th anniversary edition with bonus footage and a limited release in cinemas across Australia.

Chopper has never been shown on streaming services in Australia, adding to the myth and cult following it has attracted since hitting the big screen in 2000.

Featuring a stunning breakout performance by Eric Bana as criminal Mark “Chopper” Read, it is an unflinching account of his turbulent life in and out of prison in Melbourne in the 1970s and 80s.

The film was written and directed by Andrew Dominik, based on Read’s autobiographies, and several lines in the movie have become part of the

Australian lexicon including “He couldn’t knock the fluff off a cappuccino.”

Cinema Australia founder Matt Eeles says Chopper tapped into our quirky obsession with criminals.

“Chopper gave audiences permission to root for the bad guy,” Eeles says.

“Like Scorsese’s Goodfellas, or Coppola’s The Godfather, Chopper manipulated audiences into an emotional connection with this evil character by telling it from his point of view only.

“Dominik tricked the audience into thinking Chopper was a likeable fella, just like the real life Chopper tricked people into thinking he was much more dangerous that he actually was.

“Chopper certainly hasn’t dated. If anything, it has gotten better with age.”

The early scenes were shot at Pentridge Prison, where Chopper had been incarcerated, creating a gritty and authentic feel, while

later scenes have over-saturated colours, reflecting an older Chopper’s paranoia and mania.

“Although it’s a wild, brutal ride, the film has a simplicity about it that is seldom seen nowadays in Australian cinema,” Eeles notes.

The film launched the Hollywood career of Bana and Dominik – Chopper was his directorial debut – and he went on to direct Brad Pitt in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Killing Them Softly.

Dominik said he had so many agents calling him in Hollywood after Chopper’s success he had to change hotels, eventually signing with an agent who called every single hotel in Los Angeles to track him down.

Dominik’s Hollywood career stalled a bit in the mid 2010s, but he re-emerged in recent years,

directing two episodes of the critically acclaimed Mindhunter on Netflix, and is now putting the finishing touches to Blonde, a film about Marilyn Monroe.

Eeles says the director still thinks a lot about Chopper Read, who died of liver cancer in 2013.

“Despite Chopper’s crimes and his claims of killing 19 people, Dominik genuinely cared for the guy,” Eeles says.

“He spent seven years of his life writing about this man. Following the film, Dominik and Chopper kept in touch, and according to Dominik, Chopper was very encouraging of him moving to Hollywood to make movies.

“Dominik told me that he still thinks about Chopper, the man, all the time.”

Before Chopper, Bana had never been a leading man and was known for his comedy turns in

the sketch show Full Frontal and films like The Castle, making his transformation into Chopper even more remarkable.

At the time, industry insiders were sniggering when they heard Bana had been cast as the hardened criminal.

Twenty years on, Eeles says it’s still Bana’s best performance and he’s having the last laugh.

“Every time I watch this film I’m totally engrossed in Bana’s performance,” Eeles says.

“In fact, Bana’s performance is so good that even Mark Read’s father thought he was watching his son act in the movie.

“Despite going on to work with Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg, Bana has never again reached the height of this performance since. He’s that good in it.”

Chopper (20th Anniversary) is showing at Luna on SX until Wednesday (September 1).

• Eric Bana is sensational as Mark Read in Chopper (20th Anniversary).

A NUCLEAR disaster was the catalyst for the first performance of

Facade in Fremantle 35 years ago – and now the show’s been revamped and is back at the same venue.

Featuring robots, puppets, baroque music, quirky portraits and dancers, Facade is a strange and lively jamboree of performance art, touching on our colonial past and the emotional baggage that comes with it.

Created by dance theatre veteran Chrissie Parrott AO, the show will be held in the Moores Building, where the original Facade was shown during the Perth Fringe Festival in 1986.

At that point, Moores had been recently taken over by the City of Fremantle.

“Stefan and I had just returned from living in Stockholm with our son Griffeth. We left because Chernobyl had literally just blasted,” Parrott says.

“This work was the first piece we made, and so yes I have a fond memory of that time and the beautiful Moores building was at the beginning of its new life also.”

Adding to the parallels and symmetries, dancer Stefan Karlsson, who performed in the original Facade, will feature in the

new production.He will be joined by five other

dancers, opera singer and comic Paul Rowe, actor Bruce Denny and musician Matt Jones.

“Facade is a singular work that sits as a little gem inside a vaudeville style performance scoring of many short vignettes with a baroque overture live music and nine performers,” Parrott says.

“The issues of colonial histories, the prevalence of visual culture and the place of the body in society are still relevant and regarding the social hiding and band aids we apply to so many leading political issues.”

Nuclear disasterParrott has pulled out all the

stops for the visually stunning show creating a 5x8m baroque style “proscenium arch” – festooned with up-cycled objet d’art including 1000 decorated pointe shoes – and 15 striking portraits of performers she has worked with.

Upstairs at the gallery, the audience can enjoy the Simulacra Lounge, where artist Geoffrey Drake-Brockman has created a laboratory filled with curiosities including automata, figurative artworks and vintage technological objects. Oh, and there’s a robotic ballerina for good measure.

This year Parriott received an Order of Australia in recognition of her contribution to dance

theatre over the past four decades.

During that time she has constantly pushed the envelope, creating more than 90 works and collaborating with the likes of WA Ballet, Perth Theatre Company and Sydney Theatre Company.

Parrott now lives in Nannup, where she is still heavily involved in the arts.

“Always curious and a realist, I’m inspired by observing the beauty and ugliness in people and events local and global,” she says.

“I hope to stay involved in the area of mentoring, and now that I am a regionally-based artist to facilitate bringing small scale contemporary theatre dance and music to be performed in our beautiful historic town halls and perform for regional folks in smaller towns.”

Facade is on September 12 - 20 at the Moores Building on Henry Street. Tix at trybooking.com/BTGEY

Parrott’s “Brutal Baroque” portraits are free to view from September 10 - 20. • “Brutal Baroque” portrait King/Kween by Chrissie Parrott.

THIS three bedroom apartment in Booragoon is full of surprises.

It’s amazing how much space there is, and it’s all very tastefully decorated with plantation shutters and lovely flooring.

The overall impression is bright and light, tricking your brain into thinking you are in a much larger property.

The surprises don’t end there – if you venture out the back there is a lovely courtyard with a private gate opening onto a sprawling shared garden with walking paths.

It is like something you would find down south in a rural retreat; a little slice of Margaret River in your backyard.

It would be handy if you have a small dog with a ready-made micro-park outside your back garden.

The courtyard itself is dappled with shade from the nearby trees and is a lovely spot to relax with a cup of coffee and a good book or a Kindle or ehm, tablet (whatever people read from these days).

The apartment itself has a lovely open plan lounge/dining room that is classy and has a nice family feel about it.

In fact, a family of three have lived here for many years, attesting to the amount of living space. It has

the look of a home that has been very well maintained.

There’s a decent galley-style kitchen with pantry and dishwasher, leading to a well-sized laundry at the side.

All the bedrooms are spacious with two of them and the living room opening onto the large balcony, which runs the length of the complex and overlooks the relaxing gardens.

The home includes air conditioning and a secure garage.

Situated in the Shirbank complex on Marcus Avenue, the

home is within walking distance of lots of local restaurants, cafes and parks, and Piney Lakes Reserve is nearby. The bus stops for the CBD and Freo are not far away, and it’s a five minute drive to Westfield Booragoon Shopping Centre.

Scrolling through the listings throughout greater Fremantle on reiwa.com the other day, not only are there hardly any homes

available for sale – about 75 across the region – most of the stock is apartments at a ratio of 85:15. Quality detached homes are in huge demand across the entire metro area with demand for Fremantle homes higher than elsewhere due to the nature of the built environment. Much of Fremantle is cottage-built, there are plenty of semi-detached homes on compact lots and apartments and terrace homes feature prominently.

This is good news for homeowners in Fremantle’s outer suburbs, White Gum Valley, Beaconsfi eld, Hilton, Hamilton Hill and East Fremantle where there is a greater proportion of detached homes than apartment and villa stock. Demand in these suburbs is generating strong competition amongst buyers with multiple offers on single homes on market now expected. In Fremantle itself, four bedroom homes are hard to fi nd with only 16 of them selling over the past 12 months at an average price of $1,159,438. In contrast, 46 one-to-two bedrooms homes sold last year at an average price of $794,652.

These comments are the writer’s own and do not necessarily refl ect the current opinions and policies of the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia.

Across the metro area, there are only 4,240 homes listed for sale, about 2,000 fewer than a year ago. Median house prices have surged from $475,000 in June last year to be $515,000 today. Units are graduating at a slower pace, up from $375,000 last year to sit at $400,000 last month.

With these tight stock levels, competition amongst agents to secure listings, knowing that they are almost guaranteed to sell, is fi ercer than usual. Letterboxes are fi lled with agent fl yers

Look for substance over style

informing occupants of everything from market updates to Anzac cookie recipes.

Agents will go to extraordinary lengths to ingratiate themselves on would-be sellers. Presented with the opportunity to list, some agents will turn up bearing fl owers, champagne and chocolates on multiple occasions to encourage the owners to list with them.

There can be a fi ne line between delivery of service and harassment. I have heard many times, owners end up listing with an agent just so they’d stop harassing them. This is often not their agent of choice.

Owners ought to give careful consideration to their reasons behind choosing their agent. I doubt would-be sellers would actively seek an agent that delivered the best gifts or had the most vibrant personality. Surely, sellers would prefer their agent to have a demonstrated competency and proven method of delivering the best sales outcome. Sometimes, your preferred agent will have both, but sellers are well advised to not be blindsided by charm and inducements alone. Look for substance over style, professionalism over persistence. It’s not a personality contest.

Obviously, sellers are likely to choose an agent they warm to and like over one they don’t. However, look for agents that will genuinely care about the outcome for you rather than those desperate for a listing to make their numbers look good.

Corrosion Control Australia (CCA) has been involved in product development in the fi eld of corrosion control and energy saving coatings for many years. The Perth-based group recently developed a way to include the anti-corrosion treatments and energy-saving membrane in one system called the ‘Roof Recovery System’.

COOLBOND is an eco-friendly water based coating system that protects your roof from the elements, and reduces heat transfer through your roof and walls. This is great news for homeowners in WA exposed to coastal conditions where airborne salt and pollutants combine to damage and corrode metal and masonry surfaces.

CCA recently completed a diffi cult access job for homeowners in White Gum Valley. Lisa and Tracy Rieniets fell in love with the area and bought a charming property, but it wasn’t without its challenges. The previous sealing of the internal ceiling cladding to roof had not been done correctly, allowing swarms of bees to fl y in.

Heat-Proof and Waterproof Your Roof!Reduce your energy bills this summer

TESTIMONIAL“I would recommend CCA’s COOLBOND® for every roof in Australia. Our two-storey home has no ceilings and a tin roof. Upstairs was sweltering hot in summer. We were hoping for some improvement when we had the roof painted, but the results have far exceeded our expectations. Day one post-treatment it was 30.5°C and you could not tell the difference in temperature between the lower and upper fl oors. On the second day, it reached 40.3°C. We didn’t need our air conditioner or fans - at all. We are amazed!I can already see there’s going to be a noticeable reduction in our summer power bill. That the solar proofi ng is non-toxic too makes it such a winner. It’s good to know we can reduce our carbon footprint in such a simple, eco-friendly way. To me, that’s sustainable living at its best. We can’t thank you enough Terry and Sean, for all you have done to help us.” Tracey Rieniets

Corrosion Control Australia (CCA) has been involved in product development in the fi eld of corrosion control and energy saving coatings for many years. The Perth-based group recently developed a way to include the anti-corrosion treatments and energy-saving membrane in one system called the ‘Roof Recovery System’.

COOLBOND is an eco-friendly water based coating system that protects your roof from the elements, and reduces heat transfer through your roof and walls. This is great news for homeowners in WA exposed to coastal conditions where airborne salt and pollutants combine to damage and corrode metal and masonry surfaces.

Corrosion Control Australia has developed a ground-breaking system to beautify and protect the roof and external walls of houses.

The system has been used extensively in extreme environments like mine sites and is now available to the homeowner in Coolbond Roof and Coolbond Wall.

Coolbond keeps the inside of your home cooler and has a sleek low sheen finish that is low glare and easy to maintain.

Metal roofs tend to fade over the years due to UV and moisture exposure, but Coolbond can revitalise faded sections and is far more cost effective than replacing the entire roof.

Experts in the field of corrosion, CCA can undertake extensive inspections and reports, advising on the best treatment for items like rusted fixings and gutters.

External walls with hairline cracks allow water to get in, so

CCA has developed Coolbond Wall, which can be applied directly onto existing wall finishes.

As well as looking great, it helps to maximise energy efficiency with clients reporting up to 20 per cent savings on their power bills in the summer. This is especially important with more of us working from home.

Coolbond is a cost-effective way to beautify and protect the roof and external walls of your home.

CORROSION CONTROL AUSTRALIA

BEFORE AFTER

herald mind body spirit

Bouncing backCOVID shattered her

dream of owning her own fitness studio, but

in typical Penelope Lane-fashion she bounced back and is now running exercise classes for the over 50s in Beaconsfield.

Aged 63, Lane realised her lifelong dream when she opened

‘Make My Health’ on Hampton Road in March – unfortunately the same week WA went into lockdown.

She was quickly forced to shut the business for good.

But Lane is a tough cookie and drew on the mental and physical strength she developed while training with an ex-SAS soldier.

“I was fortunate to be part of

the genesis of boot camps here in Perth,” she says.

“I reached the elite squad, of which I’m very proud. Particularly as I was an unfit mum of two small children at that time.

“I was invited to train as a gym instructor and then a group fitness instructor; all under the watchful and supportive eye of

the boot camp’s head trainer, an ex-SAS soldier.

“At the peak of my time as a trainer, I was running circuit training and boot camps for up to 50 participants.”

A qualified fitness/personal trainer for 33 years, stretching back to the days of bright leotards and headbands, Lane is now specialising in Fit Tone Flex classes for the over 50s.

She says her workouts are fun and easy-to-follow with body cardio, strength, flexibility and balance/brain exercises.

“Exercise is essential at any age and even more so as we age,” she says.

“I would say that it’s one of the most important things as we get older. We can struggle with our weight due to sitting more

and moving less, and there’s significant muscle tissue and bone density loss.”

Lane says exercise has been an integral part of her life and she has never stopped looking at new ways to keep fit.

“I started swimming when I was two months pregnant with my first child – that was 33 years ago,” she says.

“I haven’t stopped exercising since then, and a few years ago at the age of 61, I trained and ran my first half marathon – that’s 22km.”

She’s currently completing certificates in Functional Exercise Training for over 50’s, Brain Health Training and Individual Exercise Prescription.

The South Freo local, who has previously worked as a clinical psychologist, says mental health is as important as physical health – something she realised when her dream of owning a fitness studio imploded.

“Resilience is both a physical and mental/emotional strength. Equally important for navigating the stuff of life,” she says.

“Resilience is strength in vulnerability. And vulnerability is something I felt big time when the business I created crashed and burned.

“I am so excited to be starting the classes again as I know how important exercise is.

“I can’t state that enough – it has the potential to radically transform your physical and mental health.

“As someone commented: I am a good example of what I teach.”

Lane will be holding exercise classes at St Paul’s Church Hall in Beaconsfield.

To find out more and book go to fittoneflex.com.

• Penelope Lane shows the over 55s how it’s done (left), and after

completing her first half marathon, aged 61 (above).

AstrologyAstrologyAugust 28 – September 4, 2021

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Steady the ship, lest some of the pickles you are in bite. This is a healing time.

If you honour slow above fast, and hold true to your calling you’ll soon fi nd lightness and ease. Mars is in Virgo now, and giving you the tendency to get lost in details, which will not serve to further your cause.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)The presence of the Sun in Virgo is keeping you steady, which is exactly what you need

right now. If Venus in Libra intoxicates you with any notions of having your head in the clouds, you will come across unnecessary, self-created diffi culty. Keep it simple. Commit to going one step at a time.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)There’s a lot up there in the sky working for you. Venus is fi lling you

with a sense of harmony that is putting an unmovable smile on your face. You are placed well to do what you really want to do in the world, and successfully. Saturn is holding down the bass line and keeping you on track.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)Your friends are holding you tight. This is beginning to give you serious traction

in the world at large. The Moon begins her week in Taurus, setting a tone of steadiness. She will soon be in Cancer, fi lling you up with all the right feelings. The more grounded you are, the deeper you can fl ow.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)This is a time of introspection. Contemplate what might liberate you.

Ponder what might provide healing. Consider what it might be that would bring you closer to the mysterious land of your soul. The Sun’s transit of Virgo is inviting you to replenish yourself. Immerse yourself in nature.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)There’s no need to do anything fancy. Keep things simple and you’ll navigate life’s

changes seamlessly. Mars and Mercury are in Virgo, along with the Sun. They are having a tricky time with Neptune, in Pisces. Certain things are unknowable, unfathomable. Surrender yourself to this.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) Venus is in Libra. She is well aspected. This means that your sense of harmony,

justice and beauty are being given plenty of planetary assists. Bring all your goodness to bear on the situation you are in. By putting your cards on the table, you will attract all the appropriate friends you need.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21Communication is this week’s theme. There are many ways to say what we

want to say. Not all have much to do with language. Your planet, Pluto, is well-aspected this week. This will give you access to insight on the one hand, and a sense of direction coming from your soul on the other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Watch as your mind keeps offering the conservative option. This is being infl amed

by Mercury being in a tricky bout of horn-locking with your planet, Jupiter. Jupiter is famous for giant leaps of faith. Having to stop in your tracks and consider alternatives to going at full gallop will test you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)There’s a lovely mix of intuition and reason coming your way. When both are

functioning well and aren’t at odds with each other, it’s a good day. You are working hard to be yourself, to be a truly whole human being. As a goat with a fi shes tail, you are built for both the peaks and valleys.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Slowing down is working well for you. Attempting to sprint and force yourself

through obstacles isn’t. Saturn, aka Mr Slowpoke, is the source of all present blessings. Jupiter, the planet of acceleration, is caught in all sorts of cosmic tangles. Respond to what’s right in front of you.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Mars, in Virgo, is doing his level best to bring you back to solid ground.

Dreams are intoxicating things. When they are projections, rather than messages from our essential selves, they can lead us straight up the garden path. Be prepared to re-consider positions that you imagined were sacred.
