RESIDENTS from the Beacy Bronx say Homeswest has reneged on a promise they’d be no worse off when relocated.

The state housing department has already demolished dozens of houses in the block between Caesar Street and Fifth Avenue to make way for a medium-density development but long-termer Karen Anderson says she’s being bullied into accepting a “downgrade”.

Ms Anderson moved into her three-bedroom apartment across the road from Davis Park in 1979

on what was pitched as a “forever lease”.

Now Homeswest has told her she’ll have to accept a two-bedroom unit because her kids have grown up and moved out, and claims a staffer laughed at her when she asked for something with a similar-sized garden.

Ms Anderson says her grandson Jeramiah has autism, and her daughter Allira Bolton needs to stay at her house to get a break. The front yard gives him space to let off steam.

“Department of Housing said we would be provided with housing in the local area and we would

be no worse off as part of the redevelopment,” Ms Anderson said.

“But people are being asked to move into smaller, or unsuitable housing as far away as Bibra Lake and North Fremantle.

“I just want the government to keep the promises made to residents.”

Bowled overMs Anderson said some of the

older tenants, who’d lived there for three decades, had been told to return their homes to “original condition” despite the fact they are to be bowled over.

She was also angry that when she asked about the garden she’d spent her time developing into a lush green space, the response was to pot up what she could.

“But where could I even put all that.

“There’s all these things that people are attached to, but they’ve just been told to start again.”

Ms Bolton contacted Greens candidate Brad Pettitt to take up her cause, hoping his time as mayor would give him some insight.

But Dr Pettitt said the department had kept the council in the dark.

• From page 1“This is very frustrating and

disappointing, partly because the council was trusted to help keep people informed, but also because we don’t want to lose more affordable housing in the Fremantle area.

“Successive WA government have boarded up, demolished and not replaced many hundreds of social housing homes across the Fremantle area in the last decade.

“The Heart of Beaconsfield project will remove over 200 more.”

Dr Pettitt said the council was led to believe the department was going to work in stages to build one area older tenants

could move into before the project progressed. But instead the department had moved in with the bulldozers first.

He said it was another example of WA Labor treating vulnerable people “carelessly and with contempt”.

Department of Communities executive director Andrew Geddes wouldn’t say whether residents were promised they’d move into the same type of home, but there was a commitment to get them “suitable alternative accommodation that meets their housing needs and eligibility”.

He said some residents could qualify for an extra bedroom if they had a need such as space

for a carer.“Tenants are entitled to

decline offers if the new accommodation is not suitable, but most tenants are satisfied with the accommodation.

“To date the department has relocated 51 tenants and another 129 are yet to be relocated.”

Mr Geddes said reasonable relocation costs would be made, which could involve moving over air-conditioners or sheds, while potted plants would also be moved.

“On most occasions, tenants who have expressed a desire to maintain a garden have been relocated to established areas with existing gardens,” Mr Geddes said.

CLIMATE change and homelessness dominated the issues at a lively Fremantle state election debate on Thursday evening.

Around 120 voters cheered candidates offering the strongest action on a range of environmental issues from investing in renewable energy to phasing out logging in native forests.

“The defining issue of this campaign should be the climate crisis,” Socialist Alliance candidate Sam Wainwright said to kick off the candidate introductions.

Describing prime minister Scott Morrison’s hint of a technology-driven net-zero emissions target by 2050 as “smoke and mirrors to allow Australia to continue with business as usual”, Mr Wainwright outlined his party’s plan to go carbon neutral by 2030 and “rule out” any further exploration for fossil fuels.

Incumbent Labor MP Simone McGurk and Greens candidate Liberty Cramer exchanged barbs over each other’s contribution to fighting climate change.

Ms McGurk said the most effective control over emissions would be a price on carbon at the federal level, noting the Greens had stymied the Rudd government’s carbon tax while holding out for a “perfect” solution that never eventuated.

Ms Cramer countered that WA Labor closed down debate on the Greens’ climate plan in parliament, ended its moratorium on fracking, and approved projects on the Burrup Peninsula that would

Climatic debate

produce four times the pollution of Adani’s controversial Carmichael coal mine in Queensland.

Liberal hopeful Miquela Riley provided the night with her own energy, rising to her feet to speak on several occasions, and said under leader Zak Kirkup her party was putting $5 billion towards creating a zero-emission state government by 2030, underpinned by a hydrogen production facility, a solar and wind hub north of Geraldton and the longest electrical vehicle network in the world.

Ms Riley said the plan would be funded by dumping the outer harbour project.

Homelessness also came up regularly, with Notre Dame politics lecturer Martin Drum later telling the Herald the questions and responses showed there were still some raw wounds in the community in the wake of Tent City and its dismantling.

The WA Party’s Janetia

Knapp noted that while the WA government had raked in an extra $1.5 billion in extra royalties from iron ore exports, thousands were still sleeping rough or waiting years for social housing.

“No wonder Tent City came up,” Ms Knapp said.

One of the biggest responses of the night came when Ms Cramer got stuck into the McGowan government over the reduction in public housing on its watch, and then “panicking and running around buying hotel rooms” when tent cities emerged in East Perth and Fremantle to highlight the extent of the problem.

Ms McGurk said her 10-year homelessness strategy had been described by the sector as “world class”, while locally she’d helped get $1 million from state, local and private sources for the Housing First initiative, which had helped to get 20 chronically homeless people a place of their own.

Raw roarEXCESSIVELY raucous weekend motor vehicular traffic on the 450 metre stretch of South Terrace from Wray Avenue roundabout to the South Street intersection makes one glad to see it replaced on Monday mornings with far quieter workaday traffic.

Yet these excessively noisy weekenders – motorcyclists are the worst offenders – may be violating no traffic rules as long they stay below speed limits.

Installing a couple of speed humps along this as yet unencumbered length of roadway should fully ensure that no driver or motorcyclist speeded in bursts exceeding 50kmh.

This may be judged by determining the effectiveness of the half-dozen speed humps for some years in use on the 1.1km stretch of South Terrace from South Street to Douro Road roundabout.

However, the real problem of this weekend vehicular chaos along the above roadway and on many similar stretches of road is not so much speeding: rather it is the infernal racket of very loud, souped-up engines and noise-enhancing mufflers.

Noise of this kind is obviously sought after by the owners of these vehicles, and, for all I know, having loud engines is not illegal.

Yet I would argue it is now time to tone down these noise levels in South Terrace and in all Fremantle roadways and, for that matter, everywhere else in Perth.

To conclude, state and local governments would gain one hell of a lot of strong support if they went in big time for motor vehicular engine noise abatement.

This would not remain a feud

SensibleWHAT a fantastic and sensible letter from Steve Grady.

his suggestions hit the spot. This should apply to all state housing complexes.

We hear so much about the homeless, and there are so many desperate cases deserving of accommodation, but some of the people put into housing abuse it and those around them.

Sadly, they give state housing a bad name and I’m afraid all the tenants get tarred with the same brush.

I live in state housing, have been given a lovely home, have great neighbours, but every so often one rotten apple will appear and cause disruption.

Luckily through a united front we have made our concerns known and state housing have dealt with the problems when they occur.

Admittedly not always as quickly as we would like but obviously there are constraints so far as the law is concerned.

Housing should be given to those who genuinely want it and, as Mr Grady said, given to people who are more interested in trying to live a productive and respectful Life.

A Zucker punch

by STEVE GRANT

A NASCENT traders group wants the Fremantle Festival – complete with parade – reinstated to November.

Around 20 traders gathered over a couple of meetings on Tuesday to share concerns about the economic direction of the city, with the local council’s consultation and the chamber of commerce’s advocacy in the firing line.

The meetings were called by local cleaning and events contractor Mia Kriznic and Kakulas Sister co-owner Mike Finn and included representatives from Fishing Boat Harbour businesses.

Ms Kriznic told the Herald she started out with the aim of prodding the council to improve its paltry Christmas decorations, but as Tent City in Pioneer Park grew she increasingly found herself called on to provide a voice for businesses.

“They wanted a snapshot of what the impact was on traders, and I can tell you, it was terrible,” Ms Kriznic said.

She used her previous experience working in government to get video footage of Tent City residents smoking hard drugs outside a local cafe to premier Mark McGowan’s office with a plea for him to take action.

“It was frightening people coming off the train, but I think if we had a pro-active business voice, we would have said unequivocally ‘no, Pioneer Park is not an appropriate place to set up a homeless camp so close to businesses, but we can work with you to find out somewhere more suitable’,” she said.

Ms Kriznic said businesses

were desperate for the city’s anti-social problems to be sorted out, saying many were concerned the council was dominated by a social agenda rather than focusing on the “bread and butter” issues.

She also feels its destination marketing is pumping the city’s “alcohol economy” while its family-friendly flavour drips away.

But she says the biggest single issue is the council’s consultation with small businesses, noting the festival and Australia Day celebrations were radically changed without any reference to traders.

She’d like to see the festival returned to November, saying it marked an important change of seasons for a tourist city.

The council’s own foot traffic counter showed visitor numbers dropped by more than 10 per cent in November last year, putting the skids on the city’s post-Covid recovery, although the festival was likely responsible for a significant spike in numbers in July. The counter shows that overall foot traffic in the city is still half what it was before the Covid lockdown in March last year.

Ms Kriznic also wants an independent survey of residents and businesses to gauge their

views on the axed Australia Day activities.

“Then if we could hold Australia Day celebrations in a similar format to the City of Perth and make sure we respectfully recognise our Indigenous past and celebrate the day,” she said.

The traders group, which isn’t yet incorporated and hasn’t got a name, is clearly a shot over the bow of the chamber of commerce; Ms Kriznic said many businesses weren’t feeling their interests were being represented and she’d spoken to many who thought they’d become too pally with the council.

But chamber CEO Danicia Quinlan said any suggestions the group were a representative body was misleading.

“The chamber notes that there has, and always will be, a small group of individuals who tend to get quite vocal in the lead up to local elections in Fremantle,” Ms Quinlan said.

“They try to push the negative face of Fremantle, and are quite anti the council, and also the chamber.

“This is evident in this instance in their correspondence, circulated with a number of our members cc’d in so as to appear part of a larger group.”

Noting the chamber’s 300 members from major corporations to micro-businesses, Ms Quinlan said that represented 5000 employees and 50 per cent of the annual business rates collected by the city.

“We have had a seat at the table at local, state and national level since 1873. This history gives us depth,” Ms Quinlan said.

THE FREMANTLE HERALD...

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.

The ATO has released data showing that the number of people being helped by JobKeeper dropped by

56% over three months.At the end of September there were

around 3.6 million recipients under the program, but this fell to 1.5 million people by the end of December. During that time around 520,000 businesses exited the scheme. Business have had to retest for eligibility in early January which will result in another big reduction, but there are no fi gures available yet.

In WA our drop was 70% - that’s bigger than any other state and a refl ection of our success in keeping the virus out of the community and sustaining economy activity. Not surprisingly, Victoria had the smallest drop at 44%, with their locked down economy needing the most support.

Union spokesperson Sally McManus is calling for an extension of JobKeeper for those businesses still COVID affected. The Tourism Council of WA claim that tourism revenue declined $2.6 billion between March and November last year, and there’s no doubt that certain industries like retail, hospitality and the arts sector will be impacted heavily by any ongoing restrictions. Prominent musicians are currently banding together to plead their case.

Our own mini lockdown in early

February was a wake-up call for WA businesses and consumers alike. Of course we were incredibly lucky that the worst of it only really lasted a week, but the consequences of closing doors, even for a short time, is felt across a range of industries. It’s not just lost trading days, it’s wasted perishables, HR concerns, customer relations, uncertainty and of course mental health.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has ruled out an extension of JobKeeper beyond its current fi nish date, and I agree that in its current form it should end as planned. It was cobbled together in a time of crisis, and despite a few fl aws it did a pretty good job of keeping businesses alive. But you have to turn the tap off at some point.

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

However there will be businesses that genuinely need help beyond this time, and the Government has fl agged the possibility of further targeted support. Treasury estimates that about 100,000 workers will still be working either zero or extremely low hours when the program ends.

My suggestion? A subsidy on a re-active basis as needed. Where any business can demonstrate that a COVID event signifi cantly reduced revenue (such as lockdown, capacity restriction or border closure), they can apply for a proportionate reimbursement of their wage costs for that period – be it days, weeks or months. This would target the assistance to businesses and industries that really need it the most.

JobKeeper numbers nosedive

there’s no doubt that certain industries like retail, hospitality and the arts sector will be impacted heavily by any ongoing restrictions.

A PERTH hotel housing campers from Fremantle’s dismantled Tent City, was forced to kick out its 15 remaining homeless clients on Wednesday, with a $40,000 bill no one will pay.

Perth City Apartment Hotel is looking to the Department of Communities to cough up the cash, but it denies any involvement in booking people in. In a media statement released on the morning of the evictions, Communities was adamant the bookings were brokered by homeless advocate, Jesse Noakes.

The statement confirms Communities transported three people from Fremantle’s Pioneer Park, who were placed at the adjoining Inner-City Apartment Hotel – operated independently from the Perth City Apartments.

“Communities did not place any individuals in the Perth City Apartment Hotel,” it read.

Mr Noakes said he’s only responsible for two individuals, while the rest fell through the cracks whilst Tent City was being dismantled.

He said people had found an alternative means of getting to the hotel, and it’s likely they knew to go there because it was already accommodating people from East Perth’s Tent City.

One of the hotel’s lodgers, Steven Camilleri, said when Fremantle’s camp was being dismantled, he’d given his details to “someone with a clipboard,” and was told he’d get accommodation if he boarded a bus in the afternoon.

Mr Camilleri was captured by one of the major news outlets trying to board a bus, with his

trolley in-tow, but was turned away by an official because he had too much luggage.

“They left me for dead,” he said, not wanting to part ways with possessions gathered during 25 years on the street.

Mr Camilleri said he offered to pay $200 a week to keep staying at the hotel.

Natalie Garlett had been sleeping in her car for six months with her pregnant daughter and school-age son.

She said she’d spent three weeks sleeping in her car at Freo Tent City but missed out on getting her name on “the list,” when the Department of Communities came around.

Ms Garlett knew there were others from Tent City being accommodated at Perth City Apartment Hotel, so that’s why she went there.

“We are really grateful for the owners of this hotel and what they have done for us … but now we’re basically about to get evicted again, just like we were from our home last year”.

However, the day the eviction came, a private donor from the eastern states offered to pay for Ms Garlett and her family to stay in the hotel an extra week.

For others Communities said they offered accommodation at an alternative provider, “should members of this group agree to

engage with outreach workers”. A Department spokesperson

said four people were collected and taken to new accommodation on the morning of the evictions.

Some without accommodation options went to the Homeless Election Debate on Adelaide Terrace.

There were rumours others went back to the site of East Perth’s Tent City, but the Herald checked and found only a “No Camping” sign.

Hotel owner Eddie Kamil, who has been accommodating clients from a range of homeless service providers – including Communities – for years, is still $37,000 out of pocket.

It’s been four weeks since Mr Kamil received the first five people on a privately chartered Transperth bus after the McGowan government ordered Tent City closed on January 23.

He said he was under the impression the rooms would be government funded, because he was already accommodating people from East Perth’s Tent City, whose rooms were being paid for by government.

“We provided five rooms initially for about a dozen guests from December 24, and early in the New Year several more rooms were booked for the remaining people at that camp following the fires there.

“Initially Wungening and Uniting WA funded these rooms… and later we were told Communities took over payment”.

Mr Kamil said the people who arrived after Tent City said they’d been staying there.

“And Googling their names revealed most had been in media coverage which confirmed that,” he said.

Positive changeHILTON Primary School has already raised hundreds of dollars for sustainability projects through the Containers for Change scheme.

It’s just one of the many schools, community groups and sporting clubs across WA raising funds by claiming the 10-cent refund on eligible drinks containers.

Hilton Primary P&C member Frank Mofflin says the school received a grant from the Department of Water and Environment to purchase a Containers for Change trailer.

“The school community has jumped on board and after a little bit of promotion we raised $132,” he says.

“During the holidays we then encouraged the wider Hilton community to contribute and we raised another $161.

“The funds raised will be used by the P&C for sustainability projects at the school, and there is a real sense of excitement as to what we might do.

Thousands“I think during the year we’ll

be able to pick up thousands of dollars for the school without doing too much at all.

“It’s really easy to go down to the City of Fremantle depot because the staff are welcoming and it’s really straightforward, and we know the profits the City gets from Containers for Change

is money that goes back into the community.”

Drinks containers covered in the scheme include plastic and glass bottles, liquid paper-board cartons, and steel and aluminium cans between 150ml and three litres.

Wine, spirit, milk and cordial bottles are not accepted.

The City of Fremantle Containers for Change refund point is open six days a week, including 10am-4pm on Saturday and 12-4pm on Sunday, and is open to everyone not just City of Fremantle residents.

The entry is on Knutsford Street, just around the corner from the Fremantle Recycling Centre. To find out more visit fremantle.wa.gov.au/containersforchange

PERTH’S five-day Covid lockdown is being sharply felt by local artists, with Fringe World shows cancelled or running at reduced capacity.

This week the annual arts festival cancelled its awards, using the cash prizes to help affected artists through the Fringe Fund.

Perth based artist Chelsea Gibson performed in Prismatic and said Fringe’s decision to cancel awards and reviews put shows at a disadvantage for next year’s festival.

“We only had one reviewer come in for the entire season which really sucks for an emerging company, because reviews are something we can use when we make future applications to do shows so that people take a chance on us.

“With arts it is so hard for us to justify to people outside of our discipline that we are worthy of financial backing, the only way we can do that for people who aren’t in our industry is to tell them about awards,” Gibson said.

Fringe publicist Sian Collins acknowledged the importance of awards to artists.

INDI cinemas are facing a crisis when JobKeeper payments dry up next month, with predictions small players will be forced to close their doors.

Ingrid van den Berghe is managing director of Luna Palace Cinemas, which operates Luna on SX in Fremantle, and says despite WA’s relatively short shutdowns, the industry was doing it tough.

“It’s been a tough 10 months for us, and even tougher for a lot of our peers that are more reliant on the bigger product that comes from America, as none of the features are being released,” Ms van den Berghe said.

When they haven’t been closed down completely, Cinemas have been forced to operate with half-empty houses in order to comply with social distancing measures.

Cinemas may shutAccording to management

consultants PwC Australia, Covid stripped around $750 million from box offices across the country during 2020, while cinema advertising plummeted by around 60 per cent.

“I know that we as an industry are frightened about what’s going to happen come March,” Ms van den Berghe said.

JobKeeper“When JobKeeper stops for

everybody, and when the rent agreements come to an end, a lot of cinemas in Australia, and a lot of my peers are not going to be able to open their doors again.

“It would be terrible for the community, terrible for people that are going to lose their jobs, and also really bad for filmmakers.”

Ms van den Berghe met with federal Fremantle Labor MP Josh Wilson last week, urging him

to lobby prime minister Scott Morrison over extending the Covid cash.

Mr Wilson said the federal government needed to be “sensible and responsible” in supporting all businesses at risk from the pandemic.

“Independent cinemas like our own Fremantle institution Luna on SX are a vital part of our cultural fabric, for telling our stories and connecting with the wider world,” Mr Wilson said.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has hammered these businesses and many will be dangerously vulnerable if JobKeeper support is ripped away at the end of March.”

Cinema Australia founder and WA Made Film Festival director Matt Eeles warned any impact on cinema diversity would flow-on to local filmmakers.

“Filmmakers make movies for the big screen,” Mr Eeles said.

“It was a difficult decision to not present awards at the conclusion of the festival, but we felt that it was the only fair one given that judges were not able to see many of the shows due to the lockdown and the subsequent capacity restrictions.

“We felt that re-allocating awards money to the Fringe Fund was the fairest way of supporting the shows who were impacted by circumstances beyond their control,” Ms Collins said.

Local performer Reece Horne commended Fringe World’s decision.

“A lot of shows got shut down and they’ve got to try and make that money up somehow, so I think Fringe giving that money back to support them is a really good idea.

“The show going on is the core element of Fringe and that was taken away from so many artists.

“Giving them the support is more important than giving an award to another show that still had people come and enjoy it,” Horne said.

Writer and performer Eliza Smith’s show was cancelled due to the lockdown.

Her play If You Need was due to open a day after lockdown but the student collective running the show decided to cancel rather than risk racking up bigger debts.

“There is that feeling of guilt that you are letting people down by making the decision to cancel the show,” Smith said.

“Ultimately doing all that work and getting right up to the 11th hour and having to decide to cancel it was incredibly difficult.”

Smith said they were reimbursed the money they had put into the show by Fringe World and all involved in the show plan to put it on in future.

Ms Collins said the lockdown had a “considerable” financial impact on Fringe World, its artists and venues, but the organisation was working with the state government and Fringe Fund to support artists.

“I’ve never met a filmmaker who has told me they’re putting their heart and soul into a film for it to be shown on a TV screen.

“Without these cinemas, some locally produced films would simply go unseen on the big screen, and that would be a massive blow for audiences and film buffs alike.

Home-grown“Not only are these cinemas

important as a screening hub for individual films, they’re also the home of many film festivals that showcase WA and Perth-made movies.

“During the height of the pandemic we saw a bunch of film festivals move to an online pay-per-view streaming platform and from all reports, virtual audience numbers didn’t come anywhere close to the number of people who would usually attend a physical screening.”

PERTH FESTIVAL events put on hold during WA’s quick-fire Covid shutdown are back this week, including The Other Film Festival WA which showcases films created by and about people with disabilities.

The festival will be screening this weekend (Saturday Feb 20 and Sunday Feb 21) at 1.30, 4.30 and 6.30pm at disability arts organisation DADAA in the old boys school on Adelaide Street, Fremantle.

Freo resident Sam Kerr’s film Accept the Road Ahead will be featured, along with the BBC’s CripTales; monologues written, performed and directed by people with disabilities.

InclusiveDADAA director of art

services Ricky Arnold said the festival was created “because it was found that films were not very inclusive and were not telling stories about people with disabilities.

“The festival showcases excellence and overcomes preconceptions of what kind of content people with disabilities can make,” Mr Arnold said.

He said the festival had already made an impact on the screen industry, which had worked to become more inclusive and provide

Twisted tropes

opportunities for people with disabilities.

Festival curator Sarah Collins said she chose films which didn’t conform to the “usual tropes about disability in mainstream society,” but used it as a tool to inspire audiences.

“I have enjoyed finding films which subvert these tropes (if you subscribe to the idea the people with disability can do anything, how do you feel about them planning and carrying out a robbery?) and focus on people with disability telling their own stories, both in front of and behind the camera,” she said.

The screenings are structured into age groups, and Ms Collins said she made this decision so she could include an 18

plus category which “looks at things that aren’t usually in the conversation around disability, so things like sexuality, dating, sex and reproductive rights.

Sexuality“There is often this feeling

that people with disability need to be protected and looked after but really you have to let people out there live their lives and make their mistakes,” she said.

Ms Collins said the festival showed “people living messy, loud lives which you don’t often see portrayed in a disability context.”

Tickets for The Other Film Festival can be found on the Perth Festival website.

COVID-19 hasn’t stopped local filmmakers submitting

a record number of entries to the 2021 WA Made Film Festival.

Now in its second year, the Perth-based festival will be screening 53 West Australian films, including 27 world premieres, and 11 shorts made exclusively for the event.

Festival director Matt Eeles says WA filmmakers are a resolute bunch and the pandemic didn’t deter them from making some outstanding movies.

“After a tough year, we couldn’t be any prouder of the local filmmaking community and it’s an honour to be able to support local filmmakers through this festival,” Eeles says

“The WA Made Film Festival puts local filmmakers first, and that’s what matters the most.

“Our films won’t be programmed among international and national films like they are at other festivals. WA filmmakers and their films will be front and centre for everyone to celebrate and enjoy.”

The festival kicks off with Greenfield, a gritty drama set in the Wheatbelt town of Merredin.

James returns to the small town of Greenfield to win back his old girlfriend Kelly, but simmering tensions erupt when Kelly’s brother Michael tells James a dark secret that rocks the sleepy town to its core.

“Greenfield is a powerful piece of WA filmmaking which makes it the perfect film to open the festival,” Eeles says.

“The young cast are

impressive, turning in some of the finest performances I’ve ever seen in a local film.”

Superhero fans will love Batgirl Returns, a fan film written, directed and produced by comic book lovers Matthew W Reynolds and Chloe Brown.

Shot entirely in Perth, the film follows the adventures of Barbara Gordon, a Gotham City identity who trains herself to become batgirl.

A new addition to this year’s

festival is the smartphone filmmaking competition Get Smart! with Eeles saying he was “blown away” by the quality of submissions.

“From the quality of the acting, to the cinematography and the profound stories featured in the films, Get Smart! presented by Buy West Eat Best is a great introduction to an entirely new and extraordinarily competent generation of WA filmmakers.”

The eclectic short film section has eight documentaries including the demolition derby doco Last Man Standing and Wadjemup: koora wordel, kalygool wordel (Rottnest Island: always was, always will be) – a spiritual introduction to the island.

The WA Made Film Festival will be held at Palace Cinemas Raine Square from Friday March 12 – Sunday March 14, with selected sessions including pre- and after-show parties with nibbles and drinks, Q&As and prizes.

Case Study #14WHAT ‘KILLS’ STORAGE HOT WATER UNITS?Plumber wisdom with Tony Young

human hand can’t tolerate water at 50 degrees, you’re in for greater heat losses and increased $$$.2. Less cycles increase the life span. An appropriately sized unit (bigger the better) has a longer life as it undergoes less thermal shock.3. We usually have little control of what comes out of the tap from the Water Corp. However there are some options: a. Use your rain water for hot water only b. Filtering and water conditioning can be helpful but

an expensive optionc. Elevation - we notice that storage hot water units in

high rise apartments have longer life spans. We’ve had examples of up to 24 years life often occurring. This is due to foreign matter not rising to higher levels and settling out in storage make up tanks.

A hot water unit is a pretty big ‘grudge’ purchase for any household, so if you could get a few more years out of it, you’d be pretty happy. For example: A $2000 Rheem Stellar hot water unit lasts around 10 years, therefore its cost is $200 per year, but if it could last for say 15 years, its cost is $133 per year - it all adds up!So how to get the most life out of your hot water system? A function of three things shortens the life of your hot water unit:1. Water temperature. Each 5 degrees higher the water temperature takes 1 year off the life span. This is due to: a. Thermal shock - the greater the diff erential

between hot tank and cold water creates rapid changes in expansions and shrinkage of glass lined tanks

b. Liberation of oxygen which promotes corrosion c. Dissolving of minerals and salts 2. Number of heating cycles. Like any appliance, the more times it is used, the shorter the life span. Therefore a hot water unit in a family of 14 which goes from hot to cold 6 times in a day will die sooner than the same unit owned by a single person. I have had plenty of elderly customers who get up to 20 years’ life out of their hot water units. 3. Water quality. The more mineral and salts in the water, the faster the unit perishes due to corrosion. Hot water units on bore water will have a much shorter life than one run on rainwater.So what to do about it?1. Drop your water temperature. Jack Young (dear ole dad) runs his just above ‘vacation mode’ (Scottish infl uence the family thinks). If you heat your water to 70 degrees Celsius, but the

So how to get the most life out of your hot water system?”

If a gas leak is located, on your property, by law it must be repaired by a fully qualifi ed gas fi tter. Once the gas leak is located and repaired, the gas can be turned back on.*All repairs at extra cost to the testing of the system

$55*Including

GST

d. Anodes - all storage hot water units have protective anodes which are lower on the galvanic table than the metal of the tank. These lesser metals ‘sacrifi ce’ themselves when there is corrosion on metal components of the tank. How often should we change them? Depends on how much corrosive activity has been taking place. Some require 2 yearly replacement, but I have plenty of examples of only half consumed anodes at the 8 year mark. My rule of thumb? Pull the anode out at the 4 year mark and have a look.

Your hot water unit works night and day automatically giving you hot water until it doesn’t. Do you have $1500 - $2000 in your bank to buy a new one tomorrow?

Double the life of your hot water system

All Anode Replacements | 9312 1583 | www.allanodes.com.au

‘Sacrifi cial anodes’ are installed at the factory to prolong tank life. The ‘sacrifi cial anode’ is made from metal that corrodes faster than the tank. It’s usually eaten away by corrosion within 5 years. After that, the tank starts corroding and then it’s only a matter of time before you have to buy a new hot water heater - unless you do something to stop the cycle!

REASONS FOR ANODE REPLACEMENT• If you replace the ‘sacrifi cial anode’ before the tank

starts corroding, the tank will last years longer.

• Some preventative maintenance now can save you a lot of money in the future.

• The single most important factor in whether a water heater lives or dies, is the condition of its ‘sacrifi cial anode’.

If you have a gas, electric or solar storage water heater more than 4 years old, it needs to be checked.

Brush upAS we head towards the end of

summer, it’s a great time to give the outside of your home a good lick of

paint.The weather is slightly cooler for working and

fresh paint gives your outdoor area protection from the upcoming wetter months.

Here are some top painting tips from two-time Block contestants “Josh and Jenna”, who know a thing or two about DIY.

What project?“If you are wanting to add instant impact to

your outdoor space and have a couple of days to spare, painting your font fence is the ideal project,” Josh says.

“A front fence is usually the first thing people see when they arrive at your home, so adding a fresh coat of paint will give your property a new lease on life”

For those with less time on their hands or who would prefer a smaller project to get started on their DIY journey, there are a range of projects available.

“From upcycling an outdoor chair to painting your front door, there are plenty of simple outdoor painting projects that can be completed in a short amount of time. These projects are great to tackle during a summer afternoon at home,” Jenna added.

Prep“Paint won’t stick to dirty or rough surfaces, so

always be sure to start any project by giving your piece a good clean with water and sugar soap,” Josh explained.

“Once your piece is fully dry, you may also need to sand it depending on its quality. Sanding will help you to achieve a flawless finish and reduce the risk of any streaks on your finished piece.”.

If you’re painting a metal surface that has become rusty in some areas, such as a garage door, remove all the rust with a tool like a sander or drill prior to applying your paint.

Paint“When painting large surfaces outdoors, you’ll

want to make sure that you pick a day when the weather will allow for you to complete the entire project,” Josh said.

“Summer makes for the perfect time to refresh your outdoor space as the weather is warm and dry and will allow for the paint to stick well to your surface and dry quickly,”

“Because British Paints 4 Seasons is self-priming on most surfaces you can save time and get stuck into applying your colour to the surface straight away,” Jenna adds.

For walls, doors and fences, it is best to start at the top and work your way down, as you will be working with gravity rather than against it. For those smaller, harder to reach places, little brushes and rollers are the best tools to use to apply your paint.

• Jenna and Josh took The Block by storm.

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’.

SOLARPROOF 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 Your Roof!Reduce your energy bills this summer

TESTIMONIAL“I would recommend CCA solar-proofi ng 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

Perth’s Premier Rug Cleaning Service

The Rug Cleaning Company are partnered with CORROSION CONTROLCorrosion 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.

Most gas, electric or storage hot water systems contain an anode, which is designed to corrode after about 4 years. An anode is a metal rod, installed inside the tank. Its job is to attract corrosion to itself, and not the tank. Once the anode corrodes, the tank will start to rust and in time, if not attended to, the entire system will fail. More than 90% of hot water systems fail because the anode was never replaced. A new anode fully installed usually costs less than $200, much less than the $1000 it costs to replace the entire system!

=All Anode Replacements services all the Perth metro area, from Quinns Rocks to Mandurah. Owner/operator Dennis Warburton is a fully qualified and experienced tradesman, who takes pride in providing great service and good value for money. Pricing is simple, based on your system’s water capacity. Dennis offers an obligation-free inspection service, with no call out fee. If you don’t need a new anode, you are not charged.

Manna timefoodSTEPHEN POLLOCK

I NEED to apologise to God.My family and I were so

full after dinner at Shesh Besh on Shrove Tuesday, we had no room left for pancakes.

My young kids weren’t happy and said the big man would strike us down with lightning.

See you in purgatory, folks.Situated just up from the

Leederville cafe strip on Oxford Street, Shesh Besh is a casual Middle Eastern restaurant that lets its food do the talking – mezza, dips, salads and mains like Kafta, Lahem Mishwee and Shawarma Chicken.

Perhaps the best option for newbies is the Chef’s Table ($35 per head/minimum two people) which includes a mouth-watering selection from all areas of the

menu. The couple sitting beside us ordered the Chef’s Table, and as I waited for my meal I couldn’t resist peering and semi-drooling at their feast, prompting strange looks and glances.

Shesh’s dining room had plush dark green leather chairs, wooden tables with conspicuous metal studs, and a stone feature wall.

There was a slight air of the Ottoman Empire, but it wasn’t overblown or twee and created a nice atmosphere with the added bonus of the chairs being very comfortable.

Let’s get this out the way – the portions at Shesh Besh are humungous.

Don’t snack before you go there.

My plate was overflowing with chargrilled chicken cubes, colourful salad, thin slices of Turkish bread, toum, pickles and fragrant rice (Shish Tawook $26).

The tender chicken breast was

delicious and had been marinated in garlic, lemon and spices, giving it a deep complex flavour.

I really enjoyed the fresh salad which was teeming with tomatoes, onions and pickles.

It was enhanced by a liberal sprinkle of coriander, and tasted as good as it looked.

Rounding things off was a generous dollop of hummus and toum, a thick Lebanese sauce with a pungent garlic kick.

I hadn’t tried toum before, but it helped jump-start the palate and went perfectly with the ultra-thin bread.

This dish was the real deal and reminded me of being a young lad on holiday, eating at Mediterranean tavernas with my mum and dad.

There wasn’t a kids menu but the waitress was accommodating and asked the chef to slice the Shawarma Chicken Wrap ($18) into four, so our children could share it.

I’m glad I only ordered one as the serve was huge and it came with chips and a mound of colourful salad.

The dish wasn’t too spicy for

my young kids and they devoured their meal with glee.

Across the table my wife was enjoying her Falafel wrap and chips ($16), which came with a mini salad.

“The best Middle Eastern food I’ve had in ages – crammed with flavour and top quality ingredients.”

There was also a range of Turkish coffees, desserts and soft drinks, but we were well and truly stuffed and waddled outside to face God’s wrath.

home has oodles and oodles of character.

The pleasantries start in the cute front garden, which is framed by a vintage verandah and gorgeous lead light door.

The owners have employed a green-and-white colour scheme on the steps and supporting pillars, cleverly blending the exterior with the surrounding verdure.

The garden is rounded off with a lovely circular path made from rotary paving.

Inside you’ll find a stunning entrance hallway with ornate architraves and rich jarrah wooden floorboards.

Burnished wood has been employed to great effect on the doors and floors, creating that deep sense of heritage and history. It looks beautiful.

There are loads of original heritage features in this four bedroom two bathroom home, including some gorgeous vintage fireplaces, high ornate ceilings and ceiling medallions.

But don’t worry, the kitchen has been modernised and the bathrooms upgraded to meet the needs of the 21st century family.

The main bathroom is elegance personified and wouldn’t look out of place in an episode of Poirot, featuring a clawfoot bath, black-and-white chequered floor, and brass taps and faucet.

The kitchen has plenty of cupboard space and includes sleek black benchtops, white subway tiles and integrated appliances. It blends in with the rest of the house and isn’t jarring or incongruous.

The family area is especially nice with a wood burner in the corner and lead light windows

framing the flora in the garden.There’s also a throwback to

yesteryear with a sunroom and a dedicated dining room.

Call me old-fashioned but I still like a seperate dining room, especially when you have guests around, instead of eating in an open plan area or beside the

kitchen. There’s just a lovely feel to this house, which has been well-maintained and decorated with taste. Upstairs is the spacious third bedroom with a large west-facing balcony with views of the surrounding treetops and ocean in the distance.

The fourth bedroom is currently being used as home office, which is becoming a pre-requisite in these strange times.

If you’re a bit handy or arty, you’ll be glad to know there is a large brick workshop/studio in the lush back garden.

Workshop doesn’t really do it justice as it has lovely timber cabinets and exposed beams.

It would make a great spot for home brewing with a bar setup.

The home includes a laundry and double carport.

Situated on a 749sqm block on South Street, this home is close to Beaconsfield Primary School, Freo Farmers Market and all the locals shops and cafes, and it’s only a short walk into the heart of Fremantle.

This is a beautiful character home in a great location.

Faced with very little choice, buyers are fi ercely competing amongst themselves to buy desirable property across all local

markets. When looking at the numbers, it’s easy to see why.

Sales volumes across Perth are up 32 percent when compared to this week last year, supply of residential homes has fallen to only 3,694, apartments for sale number 2,052 and there’s only 2,070 vacant lots available. That’s 5,000 fewer properties to choose from than this time last year and 500 fewer than mid-January. The stock squeeze is on.

Average selling days are in free-fall, down to an average of 23 days. It was near double that two years ago at 44 days. Interest rates are at record lows.

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.

Queues at home opens, multiple offers and rapidly rising prices hardly describes buyer advantage, but in this rapidly rising market, acquiring property now is a buyer benefi t as prices continue to rise. For sellers, quitting property now suddenly seems like a silly idea, unless, of course, you’re buying and selling in the same market.

Upgraders are particularly advantaged as uniform percentage price rises deliver higher dollar amount increases over time.

Buying ‘subject to sale’ is now complete folly as cashed up buyers knock off conditional sales as fast as they are written. Buyers worried they might be unable to settle because of

Buying ‘subject to sale’ is now complete folly

needing to sell their own home, should not be overly fussed in this market; the risk is mitigated by a hot market ready to buy their home on favourable terms.

Agents have a legal responsibility to act in the best interests of the seller unless it is unlawful or unethical to do so. They are paid to ensure the buyer pays the highest possible price on the best possible terms.

One of the most effective ways to achieve this and discharge their fi duciary responsibility is to have multiple purchasers competing to buy. Skilled agents will try and create buyer competition.

Believe the agent when they tell you there are other offers in play. Buyers are prone to thinking the agent is telling fi bs in a bid to encourage an offer but that’s not typically the case, especially in this market.

Buyers hoping to see a levelling out of the buoyant market conditions will pretty soon be priced out of the suburbs they hoped to initially buy in. Don’t delay.

On Monday, more than 150 people, packed the South Fremantle Football Club (SFFC) rooms at the historic Fremantle Oval to celebrate the launch of the 2021 women’s football season.

It’s an exciting new era for the 121 year-old club since female players officially joined the ranks three years ago, and the Youth Girls making history last year taking out the 2020 inaugural Rogers Cup Premiership.

Women at SFFC play at three levels - Seniors (entering their second season in the official WA Football League Womens competition), Reserves, and Youth Girls (with many of last year’s Premiership players moving up to the WAFLW squad this year).

Club legend, Games Record Holder, and Manager of Football, Marty Atkins, is looking forward to the start of the WAFLW season tomorrow.

“SFFC is the premier family club and provides an opportunity for anyone, male or female, no matter what part of life’s journey they’re on, to come together to follow their passion for football,” he told The Herald.

And that shows in the diversity

Girls shine at one of Freo’s oldest footy clubs

by Jane Grljusich Herald Promotions

of the players including Melissa Silcock, a single working mum of four who’s also studying nursing; Taylah Cruttenden, WA’s fastest and the nation’s fifth-fastest under 20s 100m sprinter; Poppy Stockwell, in Hobart to represent WA in the national one day women’s cricket competition; and the Kowald sisters, Georgia, Sheridan and Miikaila, who travel from Katanning to play for the club.

And there’s some familiar names joining the ranks this year - Zoe Worsfold, daughter of 1997 Premiership Captain Peter; Cian Parsons, daughter of 2002 Fairest and Best Zane; alongside Indy Strom who played in last year’s Rogers Cup Premiership side, who is the sister of Mim, current Fremantle Dockers Womens ruckwoman (all are-sisters of 2020 Premiership Players Noah and Zac).

Get down to Freo Oval from 9.20am Sunday to support them and throughout season 2021.

The players would like to thank the women in leadership at SFFC including Board Directors Liz Houston and Hayley Manser (and although he’s a bloke - Director

Bruce Willis also rates a mention here), and operations team leaders Kelly Chalmers, Rochelle Whitelaw and Malira Cocking, as well as their loyal sponsors Acton Fremantle, Tailored Resources, St John Of God Murdoch, Pharmacy 777, and The Gate Bar and Bistro, and Armando Sports for making this article possible.

Shanay “Tiny” Del Borrello (captain Youth Girls Rogers Cup), Reserves captain Tina Waddell and

Seniors WAFLW captain Lauren Vecchio.

With Sudhir

AstrologyAstrologyFebruary 20 – February 27, 2021

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The big drama going on in this moment is between Taurus and Aquarius. You are

right in the thick of the action, because Mars is passing through Taurus. Taurus can fi xate on not wanting to change. Aquarius can fi xate on wanting change at all costs. Be conscious of what you are defending.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)As a fi xed sign, you are prone to fi xating. With Uranus, Mars and the Black Moon/

Lilith in your sign, you are likely to defend your position with some passion. There are four planets in Aquarius fi xating on the need for change. Great awareness is required here. Be alert to your tendencies.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)The rising Moon begins her week in Gemini. This will help you override the

deep waters released by the Sun’s entry into fathomless Pisces. You are your usual dexterous self, as all sorts of shifts and changes unfold around you. Your intuition will help you to be on the right side of history.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Moon will pass through Cancer in the middle of the week, soothing your

heart and soul just when it needs to be soothed. The surprises that destiny is offering up at regular intervals could easily get the better of you if you let them. Keep on coming back to a gentle quiet place inside.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)Your opposite sign, Aquarius, is presently going bananas. There

are four planets in Aquarius and they are provoking an inordinate amount of interest in the world outside your door. To stay sane, remember to stop focussing on the world at large for a while. Come back to sweet simplicity.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)The Sun has moved into Pisces. Rather than resist the fathomless mystery of existence,

embrace it this time round. There is an intimacy to not knowing. It’s not ignorance, it’s innocence that you need to catch hold of. Endless analysis doesn’t tend to add value or beauty to what’s going on.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) The Sun has moved into the unfathomable waters of Pisces. This

takes some of the gloss off your appearance of balance. Every now and again it is good to know that one is out of one’s depth. It keeps us humble. Try not to be at odds with your own discomfort. Ride it to a new awareness.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21Being someone who understands deep feelings and the reasons for

peoples prickly defences, you carry a responsibility now to communicate what you know. Your life experience is valuable. Others need to hear what you have to say. Help others to turn their breakdowns into breakthroughs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)There is plenty of tension in the air. The Sun’s movement into watery Pisces should

take the edge off things a little. If all goes well there’s a chance that compassion will show it’s face in places where it has been lacking. The human heart kicks into gear at the most interesting of times.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)Where others may be struggling, you are travelling well. Having had Pluto in your

midst for ages, initiating you into the art of release and regeneration, you have more faith in the underlying currents of change than you might previously have had. If others need you, be sure to offer your hand.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn remain in Aquarius, fi lling you with inordinate

amounts of energy and the occasional large obstacle. Saturn is the one providing obstacles. Sit with what is in your way with awareness and kindness and you will grow wise. Be open to the great mystery.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)The Sun has just moved into Pisces. This will give you a wave of vitality and

awakening. Though the Gemini Moon might have you initially questioning your own confi dence, your self-doubt won’t last long. There are deep currents at play at the moment. You are well equipped to ride them.

The untold story of how a band of renegade surfer girls in the 1980s fought to create their own professional sport, changing surf culture forever.

It’s the 1980s and the world of professional surfing is a circus of fluoro colours, peroxide hair and radical male egos. GIRLS CAN’T SURF follows the journey of a band of renegade surfers who took on the male-dominated professional surfing world to achieve equality and

change the sport forever. Featuring surfing greats Jodie Cooper, Frieda Zamba, Pauline Menczer, Lisa Andersen, Pam Burridge, Wendy Botha, Layne Beachley and more, GIRLS CAN’T SURF is a wild ride of clashing personalities, sexism, adventure and heartbreak, with each woman fighting against the odds to make their dreams of competing a reality.

In cinemas March 11.
