Spaceport fires up By MATT NICHOLLS

A SPACEPORT on the outskirts of Weipa is still a major possibility as an Australian-based company eyes the Cape York location. Discussions have already begun

between the Palm Branch Group’s Spaze Oz arm and key stakeholders in Weipa and Napranum. The site would be located near the RAAF Scherger base, about 43km from Weipa. However, the project is a long

way off, with environmental approvals required, as well as planning permits and an agreement with Traditional Owners. And then there’s the funding. Palm Branch Group director James Palmer told Cape York

Weekly the company had yet to lock in funding for the facility, to be called Space Centre Australia. “There’s definitely interest in the private sector and we may be looking at some government funds through NAIF (Northern Australia

From – Page 1 Mr Palmer made a presentation to Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch several weeks ago, explaining his vision for the project. The MP said he was impressed with the concept and hoped a spaceport would take off in Cape York. “It’s been talked about for a long time, although it’s never been discussed properly or been in the right place,” Mr Entsch told Cape York Weekly. “The location out of Weipa just makes sense because it’s close to the airport, to the deep water port, and there is a lot of land around that is suitable. “This won’t be a spaceport like you see on TV in America. “It’s small rockets that are launching very small satellites.” In a statement, Mr Palmer said the Space Centre Australia facility would be cutting-edge and give Australia the advantage in the race to win launches. “Advanced design work has commenced on the first large scale multi-use spaceport designed to be a collaboration centre for the advancement of the Australian and international space industry sectors.

“Space Centre Australia infrastructure will be designed to accommodate small to large vertical launch vehicle systems and comprise these facilities:  Launch vehicle development and handling centre;  Four launch staging pads;  Integrated launch control centre;  Integrated mission control centre;  Fuel handling facilities;  Datacentre facilities;  Broadband satellite communications facility;

 Accommodation facilities;  Administration facilities;  Security operations centre. Implementation of the Space Centre Australia facility will be delivered in three phases, Mr Palmer said. “Phase 1 is scheduled to commence preliminary construction in early 2022 pending completion of land, development, and environmental approvals,” the optimistic director said. “Working closely with the traditional owners, state and local government, the construction

activities will create approximately 100-200 employment opportunities. “When complete, Space Centre Australia is estimated to provide 300 full-time permanent roles. “Investment in this project is supported through a consortium of financial sources.” Mr Palmer said representatives from Palm Branch Group and Space Centre Australia Pty would be conducting community consultation in Weipa and Napranum in August.

Good news for the Cape as dates pushed forward By MATT NICHOLLS

CAPE York’s vaccination plan has been changed dramatically to speed up the rollout in the remote communities. Weipa and Cooktown’s dates will remain the same, however, there have been major changes to the smaller communities in a bid to have the program done by early November. Coen, for example, will get access to Pfizer more than two months ahead of the original schedule, but will have just two days to get vaccinated in the town, rather than five. Kowanyama, Lockhart River, Aurukun, Pormpuraaw, Wujal Wujal and Hope Vale are all big winners in the changed rollout. But like Coen, that means fewer days on the ground in some communities. Lockhart River residents will have three days to get their first jab, while Napranum will have three days instead of five. Mapoon residents will have two days instead of five, although locals can make an appointment at Weipa if they are unable to attend on those dates. Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service executive director of medical services Tony Brown said vaccinations on Cape York would now start from August 9. “We’ve had multiple vaccination teams working in the Torres Strait which has allowed us to move a little ahead of our previous planned schedule,” Dr Brown said. “As such, our teams will be able to move to Cape York a little earlier. “At Weipa, we will be set up in the Storm Surge Shelter for three weeks, allowing ample opportunity for everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated. “As in the Torres Strait and the Northern Peninsula area, we will be offering Pfizer vaccination to anyone and everyone in

each community aged 16 years and over. “We know Cape York residents are very keen to be vaccinated. But I am sure they will understand we had to start in the Torres Strait first due to the growing risk posed by COVID-19 spreading from Papua New Guinea. “We’ve also had to overcome significant challenges to deliver vaccines to these remote island communities, with multiple trips required, often by air. “We have to either send them by helicopter or by fixed-wing and it is quite a logistical exercise to do communications, let alone deliver the vaccine, maintain vaccine cold chains and accommodate staff for up to a week at a time in areas within very limited accommodation.” Dr Brown said to achieve full vaccination status, the health

service needed people to turn up to clinics and be vaccinated. “Our vaccination rates can only be as good as the number of people who turn up,” he said. “I know there is some vaccine hesitancy in all of our communities, but the reality is that unless as many of us as possible are fully vaccinated, we will never be able to get back to a near-normal life. “The latest scientific research indicates that we need to reach 85 per cent vaccine coverage right across Australia to have any hope of achieving a level of herd immunity. “We are a long way off that both here in the Torres and Cape region and right across Australia. We must do our bit to boost vaccination rates.” Bookings are now being taken at some clinics across the region for the Pfizer jabs.

CT scanner saves nurse NEWS IN BRIEF RFDS flight after crash Treaty meeting canned

By MATT NICHOLLS

WEIPA’S new CT scanner has already saved at least one RFDS flight after a woman was able to be treated locally after a vehicle rollover earlier this month. Agnes McIvor was driving to Weipa from the Laura Dance Festival and was almost home when she lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the trees. She managed to escape with just a scratch on her left ear and some general soreness. “I’m feeling very lucky; very blessed,” she said. “There’s a little bit of survivor’s guilt and there’s a little bit of euphoria as well.” Ms McIvor said she could not thank the first responders

enough for their excellent service and treatment. “They were just fantastic. The fire fighters, the police, the ambulance staff and the doctors and nurses at the Weipa Hospital – I was well looked after,” she said. The nurse said she was usually on the other side of the

hospital bed and admitted it felt strange to be a patient with her colleagues treating her. “They were so professional,” she said. “Weipa has an amazing team at the hospital.” Ms McIvor said she was about 15km from Weipa when the accident occurred. “I didn’t fall asleep but there might have been a fatigue element to it. I was just excited about getting home on that last stretch,” she said. “I came into a corner and hit a deep hole and then fish-tailed. I tried to correct and lost control and went into the trees and ended up upside down.” This was around 9.30pm. A car came past not long after the

crash but didn’t spot her in the scrub. “I couldn’t get out of the car, but I was lucky I could reach my phone and call 000 straight away,” Ms McIvor said. “The response time was really fast and the firies were amazing. They were so careful. They had to cut two sides of the car out because they were worried about my spine.” A CT scan wouldn’t have been possible at Weipa just a month earlier, but the new machine saved Ms McIvor a trip to Cairns for a further check-up. “Absolutely I would have been sent out if I couldn’t have got the scan in Weipa,” she said. “It’s a great asset for the hospital and the community.”

PLANNED meetings for the Path to Treaty working group have been cancelled. Meetings were scheduled for Napranum on Wednesday and Coen on Thursday, but were cancelled last week. “While the cancellation of these meetings is disappointing, the Treaty Advancement Committee is open to rescheduling, however any future meetings must take into consideration COVID-19 restrictions at the time and be within the Treaty Advancement Committee’s tenure which ends on August 12,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “The Treaty Advancement Committee will also share video footage of the Townsville briefing to provide the communities of Coen and Napranum information on the progress of Queensland’s Path to Treaty.”

Snake catcher bitten BELOVED Weipa snake enthusiast Warren ‘Wazza’ Rolston had to be flown out with the Royal Flying Doctor Service after he was bitten by a northern brown snake earlier this month. Mr Rolston is well known to Weipa locals for removing unwanted snakes, but this one got the better of him. “First aid was administered and he was promptly taken to the hospital via ambulance where he was treated with care and given antivenom when the envenomation made itself known,” daughter Haley said. “He was flown to Cairns that night and monitored until it was clear that everything was going to be fine and came home on the next available flight.”

Music grant for CIAF

Big sculptures wanted for CIAF in 2022 THE Cairns Indigenous Art Fair is calling for Indigenous artists to participate in a new initiative that will see 13 large-scale works feature prominently within the extensively refurbished Cairns Convention Centre. When it is unveiled at its 13th annual event in August next year, CIAF’s commissioning project, Big Sculpture Showcase, is destined to make a powerful statement with-

in the non-exhibition surrounds of Cairns’ award-winning convention centre. CIAF artistic director Janina Harding said for the past 12 years CIAF has worked hard to support an authentic and ethical Queensland Indigenous art movement that incorporates two diverse cultures unique to Aboriginal and Torres Strait people. “Big Sculpture Showcase is an exciting

project that celebrates both cultures while spanning both traditional and contemporary artistic responses to cultural expression, stories, design elements, motifs, symbolism and imagery,” Ms Harding said. CIAF will hit the road at the completion of this year’s event to ensure artists from across the Cape and the Torres Strait are aware of the project and want to get involved.

THE Cairns Indigenous Art Fair has been awarded a $48,170 grant under the federal government’s Indigenous Contemporary Music program. The $2 million program is aimed at increasing development opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musicians and bands. Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch said the grant would allow CIAF to further support local indigenous artists take the next step in their careers. “CIAF is Australia’s premier Indigenous art fair,” Mr Entsch said. “The funding towards the CIAF Live it Up – Unearthed New Indigenous Contemporary Music project will showcase emerging talent in live performance and industry mentoring workshops during this year’s event.”

Region’s top doctor heads south By MATT NICHOLLS

THE man who has steered the Cape and Torres Strait through the pandemic is pulling up stumps and heading to Roma. Dr Tony Brown will leave the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service in just a couple of weeks and says he departs with fond memories of the region he has called home since 2015. “I have enjoyed my time enormously, but this is a big opportunity,” said the new CEO of the South West Hospital and Health Service. Before talking about the impact of COVID on his role and how he tackled it with his team, Dr Brown said he was thrilled to leave the Torres and Cape HHS in a better state than when he arrived. “There was a lot of work to be done around improving the culture and clinical governance,” he said. “Some of the sites needed a lot of work as well.” Dr Brown said health facilities in the Cape and Torres Strait had improved significantly in six years, with further works being held at Thursday Island and Weipa, as well as a future plan to upgrade Cooktown’s hospital. “I can’t think of too many things that are worse off,” he said. “The new CT scanner at Weipa Hospital is going to be a huge boost for that part of the Cape, and I’m very glad that birthing is going to be happening there soon.”

Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service’s top doctor Tony Brown is the new CEO of the South West HHS.

COVID CHALLENGES WHEN the coronavirus became a major concern in Australia around March last year, Dr Brown and the executive team at the Torres and Cape HHS went into overdrive. “It’s been a high pressure 18 months,” the outgoing director of medical services said. “When you look back, the team did an amazing job in collaborating with the communities to keep the region COVID-free. “We changed the way we delivered care via telehealth and by internal capacity building ... doing

that difficult piece of work around moving in and out of that biosecurity zone.” Dr Brown said although it wasn’t of public interest, there was a lot of pressure on getting the internal governance correct. “The reason for that is so we have documented exactly what decisions we’ve made, while we’ve made them, so that at any point, someone comes back and says: ‘So why did you do that? And and why did it cost that?’, we have an answer,” he explained. The vaccination rollout started

strongly in the Torres Strait, which was prioritised for two reasons: to protect vulnerable residents; and to protect those sharing a border with Papua New Guinea. But it hit a snag when blood clots in a small percentage of AstraZeneca vaccine recipients forced the federal government to change the medical advice on the jabs. “That made it very hard for us,” Dr Brown said. “Things were going well and the reason we chose AstraZeneca was because it was easier to store and transport and that is what was

needed in a remote area. We had to pause the rollout when the advice changed and that led to a lot of hesitancy in the communities, which we’ve been working to address.” The Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service had to reset its rollout plan in the Torres Strait to accommodate for the Pfizer jab, which meant extra logistics for storage and transport. “We’re seeing more positive results, but it does change from island to island,” Dr Brown said. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there about COVID-19 and the vaccination, which makes our job harder because we know that we need a high percentage of the population to get vaccinated for it to be a success. “But the team does a great job in talking to locals, giving them as much information as possible and encouraging them to come in and get vaccinated.” Dr Brown said he believed the state and federal governments had largely done a good job in keeping Australians safe. Asked what he would change if he was Prime Minister or Premier for the day, he said: “Not too much, maybe just lift the availability of Pfizer. “It’s been a challenging time for all governments and health departments. There was no playbook for this pandemic. The next step is to get everyone vaccinated as quickly as possible.”

Could the state buy Bramwell Station?

Bramwell Station is one of the Cape’s most popular tourist destinations.

WENDY Kozicka believes the state government could buy Cape York’s most northern cattle station for conservation. The owner of Bramwell Station said it wouldn’t surprise her if the Queensland government made an offer to buy the property before it goes up for auction on August 11. The government has history in buying Cape York properties, including Springvale Station between Lakeland and Cooktown.

“It has already been suggested,” she told Cape York Weekly when asked if she thought the state might be interested. “It would make sense in some ways because of the pristine wilderness on the eastern side of the property.” Ms Kozicka, who owns the station with partner Vince Bowyer, said it would be a bittersweet day when Bramwell sells. “I love this place. It’s a very special part of the world.”

Weipa Taxi Service ~ MOVING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY FOR OVER 30 YEARS Tuesday, July 13, 2021 – Cape York Weekly – Page 7

Mental health a priority for RFDS BEST known for its work to help regional and remote patients in desperate need, the Royal Flying Doctor Service is growing its preventative health network in the bush. Teresa Gibson, a community support worker for the RFDS is passionate about helping people better understand the impacts of mental health. “My work is about giving back to community to help people understand the impact of poor mental health. I love empowering people to make better choices for their health and wellbeing,” she said. Ms Gibson has just delivered her 20th Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid training session. She said it was fitting that her personal milestone coincided with NAIDOC Week, an opportunity to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. “This year’s theme Heal Country is especially relevant to the work that I do and helping people to make informed decisions for their health and wellbeing,” Ms Gibson said. “A person’s social and emotional wellbeing directly impacts their physical health and Indigenous people, in particular, are vulnerable when it comes to chronic disease.” Ms Gibson, who began work with the RFDS in 2013, said it

Teresa Gibson, fourth from right, delivered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid training in Cooktown recently.

was therefore important that Indigenous people nurture their social and emotional wellbeing, as well as their physical health. “Mental health first aid is a course which teaches participants how to assist people who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem,” she said. “Participants also learn what to do in a mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received, or the crisis resolves.”

RFDS Queensland chief executive Meredith Staib said the Far North Mental Health Service was proud to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid training free-ofcharge to several communities across Cape York each year. “As we celebrate NAIDOC Week, the RFDS wishes to reinforce our commitment to acknowledging and honouring the First Nations people,” Ms Staib said. “We are proud to highlight outcomes from our Reconciliation Action Plan, which aims to drive and embed reconciliation initiatives into our business. “Ultimately, through our RAP, we hope to improve health outcomes and build unity, equity and respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians.”

Weipa trainee off to state awards By MATT NICHOLLS A DETERMINED Weipa student is in the mix to pick up a statewide award after she was named the Far North’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student of the year at the 60th annual Queensland Training Awards. Siobhan Hogan picked up the gong for her work as a schoolbased trainee with Rio Tinto. Her hard work to obtain her Certificate II in Engineering paid off as she was offered a role with the Weipa-based mining company. Siobhan is both an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and is proud of her heritage. Member for Cook Cynthia Lui applauded her dedication. “Siobhan got this qualification after securing a diesel fitting traineeship to follow her interest in mechanics, and gain knowledge through hands-on learning,” Ms Lui said. “Siobhan is proud to be working as a First Nations woman in a non-traditional field and hopes that her experience will help her to advocate for more girls to pursue similar pathways. “Her goal now is to complete

Year 12 and continue her training with an apprenticeship.” Siobhan’s achievements were celebrated with family and staff from Western Cape College at a special event at Rio Tinto’s lodge on Friday afternoon. Other local finalists were also invited to watch the awards ceremony on a live stream. Weipa’s Reece Zamiak was a regional finalist in both the Harry Hauenschild Apprentice of the Year and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year categories. Western Cape College student Jakub Wone was a finalist for the School-Based Trainee or Apprentice of the Year. New Weipa resident Delaney Allen flew under the radar and won the 2021 Equity VET Student of the Year for the region. Ms Allen is a proud Indigenous woman and single mother of four. Juggling study and family was challenging for her, but they were also her biggest motivations to keep going. After completing her Certificate III in Education Support last year, she was offered a student support position at Weipa Cape College.

Hammer ready to spark Maroons HAMISO Tabuai-Fidow is adamant he is ready to take the State of Origin arena head-on. The teenage speedster will realise a childhood dream when he runs out for Queensland in the dead rubber on Wednesday night. It is part of blooding of the next generation of Maroons, desperate to add speed and spark to their edges. Tabuai-Fidow said he was floored when he received the phone call about his debut, but is adamant he is ready. It is not false bravado, but a confidence earned working under some of the greatest speedsters in the game. While it might appear a meteoric rise for Tabuai-Fidow, it is a pathway he has been on for several years, after playing for the Maroons in the under-18s back in 2019. That year, Tabuai-Fidow helped end the Blues’ three-year dominance in the junior Origin arena, and also turned plenty of heads in a camp after he wrong-footed Maroons veteran Will Chambers in an opposed training session. “It feels like yesterday that I was playing in the under-18s Maroons, I can remember that atmosphere at the game, it was hectic,” Tabuai-Fidow said. “We learnt a lot in that camp, and I can’t wait to get into this camp and just soak everything up over the week. I am over the moon, I got the call from Greeny (Maroons coach Paul Green) and was just lost for words. “It was my dream to play in

Torres Strait Islander Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (right) will bring speed and energy to the Queensland side on Wednesday.

Origin and now I get my chance. I want to rip in and play some good football.” The year Tabuai-Fidow wore Maroon for the first time was the same season he was tucked under the wing of Cowboys legend Matty Bowen in the Blackhawks under18s program. Bowen, who was the one player Tabuai-Fidow idolised growing up, became a mentor to the young flyer and their friendship continues today. Bowen was one of the first to message him after news of his selection broke.

“I am very proud,” the Hope Vale product said. “I am still pretty close to Hammer. I talk to him every chance I get every week. It is not always about footy, it is just to keep him level-headed. “I want him to keep having fun, you can see when he scores tries … he is smiling. I want him to keep smiling.” It may be a “scary” proposition but Queensland are backing themselves to avoid the unwanted stigma of being the first Maroons team to lose a State of Origin series 3-0 on home soil.

An embattled Queensland received a much-needed boost when Wednesday’s game was relocated from Newcastle to the Gold Coast. After hosting games in Townsville and Brisbane, the Maroons have the Origin home advantage yet again after the NSW government advised it would not allow a major event to be held at McDonald Jones Stadium with a crowd in a bid to minimise the chance of Greater Sydney’s COVID-19 outbreak spreading. Queensland appeared to need all the help they could get in their bid to inject some pride back in the jer-

sey after losing the first two games by a combined 76-6 points. The Maroons are reeling after forward Jai Arrow was forced to leave camp just days before game three following a biosecurity protocol breach at the team hotel. It fuelled criticism of the Maroons’ team culture and leadership, with the NRL continuing its investigation into whether more Queensland players were involved. Maroons legend Johnathan Thurston said he was hurt by the criticism that has been levelled at this year’s squad and wants to set the record straight about the culture he is proud to be part of. “The Queensland culture, to me, is a set of behaviours and standards that have been set by the players who have come before… in regards to our preparation during the week, it’s always been lighthearted off the field, making sure you build relationships and friendships, so that when you do play on the Wednesday night, that you’ve got each other’s back,” Thurston said. “To have our culture questioned is having a crack at the players who have worn the jersey before us – Artie Beetson, Wally Lewis, Dick ‘Tosser’ Turner. “We’ve had 10 players play 30 or more Origins, including Nate Myles, and we’ve had a player play 42 Origins in Cameron Smith. “These players set the behaviours and standards for the next generation to follow… so for people to be questioning our culture, they’re personally having a crack at those who have come before.”

SPORT IN BRIEF Officer claims prize WEIPA police officer Jim Hunter had a nice round of golf last week to pick up the Wednesday Wackers prize at the Carpentaria Golf Club. In a field of 16, he beat Grant Crossley by two strokes on handicap. Hunter’s shot on the 7th, where he got the nearest to pin, was a catalyst for the victory. Dale “Dasher” Holmquest was nearest on the 9th, while Jim Taylor didn’t have his best round and claimed Bradman’s.

Derek says Tata to rivals

Weipa men’s fours team: Russell Welby, Dallas Kitchin, Rod Enman and Fraser Maguire.

THE Sunday Dawnbusters crew were no match for wily veteran Derek Tata, who beat a field of 18 on the weekend. Grant Crossley was runner-up for the second time in four days, which means he’s due this week. Jamie Hutton had the longest drive and Mick Auston nabbed the nearest to pin prize, while Dillon Wonfor picked up the unwanted honour of Hoffman’s for finishing at the back of the field.

Skippers assess the situation.

Weipa foursome go down to Edge Hill on home rink

WEIPA Bowls Club’s men’s fours team couldn’t make it past the first round of the Far North knockout tournament on the weekend. Drawn against Edge Hill at the Edge Hill green was always going to be a tough assignment, but the job was made even more difficult when Col Kelly showed up. The former Australian representative was filling in for an absent player and proved the key to Edge Hill’s big win against the visitors. The home side didn’t win it all, though, with honours going to Brothers Edmonton, who beat South Johnstone in the final at Edge Hill on Sunday.

‘Big sister’ proud of Barty TENNIS legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley has paid a heartfelt tribute to “little sister” Ash Barty, saying she just sensed it was “her time” to win Wimbledon. Barty’s nerve-wracking 6-3 6-7 6-3 final victory over Czech Karolina Pliskova came 10 years after Barty won the Wimbledon girls’ singles title at age 15, and exactly 50 years after Goolagong Cawley hoisted the Venus Rosewater Dish for the first time. “I hope I made Evonne proud,” Barty said during an emotional victory speech. Goolagong Cawley left her in no doubt. “Oh she certainly did,” the former world number one said from her home on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on Sunday.

The Edge Hill Bowls Club is a great place for spectators to watch the action unfold.

Djokovic wins 20th major NOVAK Djokovic has won his sixth Wimbledon men’s singles title with a 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Matteo Berrettini. The world number one’s latest grand slam title is a record-equalling 20th for his career and ties him with rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Djokovic had some prospective bad news for the rest of men’s tennis. “It means none of us three will stop,” he said with a smile.

These Yungaburra bowlers knew to escape the heat.

LENGTHY QUEUES SPARK RENEWED CALLS

Time for a bridge? By MATT NICHOLLS

MASSIVE queues at the Jardine River ferry have sparked fresh calls to build a bridge. Tourists and locals have been forced to wait for several hours – in some cases overnight – to get across the Jardine River as traffic numbers rise as a result of a record tourism year. The debate over whether to build a bridge has been a divisive subject for years. There are several camps with differing opinions on the matter – locals who want the bridge to give them 24/7 access out of the Northern Peninsula Area; locals who are concerned about a bigger influx of tourists; tourists who don’t want to pay $100 and queue for hours; and tourists who love the iconic nature of the Jardine River ferry. Bully Sanders from Cape York Ice and Tackle said he could see both sides of the argument. “There would be positives and negatives,” he said. “I can see both sides of it. It would be good for freight, but we (the community) might lose a lot of money (from the ferry’s income).” Continued – Page 5

There have been some lengthy queues for the Jardine River ferry this tourist season.

Patty humbled to be a flag-bearer OLYMPICS veteran Patty Mills says he understands the privileged position he is in to be one of the two flag-bearers for the Australian team at Tokyo. “As a proud Kokatha, Naghiralgal and Dauareb-Meriam man it’s incredible. A very passionate moment I can feel in my bones,” Mills said after the announcement that he and Cate Campbell will lead the Aussie team at the opening ceremony. “It’s about identity, it’s about being proud of who you are, and being passionate about that, so it’s obviously an honour.” Tokyo will be Mills’ fourth Olympic Games, and the 32-yearold is relishing the responsibility he will undertake as a leader for both the Australian men’s basketball team and the wider Australian Olympic team. “I don’t think it’s going to be tough at all to balance both, I think the roles complement each other,” Mills said. “For me, who really gets going off stuff like this, it’s fuel to the fire, it just adds that other burning sensation to go and achieve a gold medal.” Whilst spending most of his professional career in the United States, Mills has maintained a strong connection with his home country through much of his offcourt endeavours. He has pledged to use his platform as a means of helping struggling Australians find elevated standards of life and progression within their communities. “The ability to be in a position where I can give back where I can is important and not only to my communities where I’m from and elsewhere as well, so this is special,” Mills said. As one of the many Olympians inspired by the heroics of Cathy Freeman, Mills will look to the precedent set by the 400m gold medallist to assist his leadership in Tokyo. “The biggest impact that Cathy had on me is just being true to

yourself and being proud of who you are; being passionate about your identity and letting that fuel the fire to achieve those dreams,” he said. “Along with Cathy Freeman there are a lot of other Indigenous role models who I looked up to in numerous different sports and I think all of that packaged together has impacted me in a really good way where I feel like I’m in a position to be able to be that role model. “This is a very important position and a leadership position that I feel comfortable in, and this is such an honour and a privilege to lead this team alongside Cate.” Mills described the opportunity

to share flag-bearer duties with Campbell as “unbelievable”. “I think it’s really unique and really cool, and I’m looking forward to sharing this moment with someone,” Mills said. “In past experiences it’s been the lone soldier out the front, so for us to share that moment is going to be very special. “Following Cate’s career over from the other side of the world, obviously meeting a few times at the Olympic Games and seeing the work that she does outside of the pool is very cool, and something that I keep a close eye on, so very deserving and again I’m really stoked for the opportunity to share this moment with her.”

Skytrans chief executive officer Alan Milne says the Cairns-Horn Island route will provide an alternative for Torres Strait residents and allow current customers to fly to and from the region on one booking.

Skytrans returning to old routes

By MATT NICHOLLS

COMPETITION is returning to the skies for Torres Strait passengers as Skytrans plans its return to the Cairns-Horn Island route. Weekday flights will start at the end of the month and will depart Cairns earlier than the first Qantas flight, giving locals and business travellers a chance to spend more time in the region. “We are also going to be returning to the NPA, with our Horn Island flight to then make a stop at Bamaga and then back to Horn, before returning to Cairns,” Skytrans CEO Alan Milne told Cape York Weekly. “This will allow us to deliver freight and pick up freight from the NPA, as well as passengers

who are happy to go to Cairns via Horn Island.” Mr Milne said the airline was bringing back the service between Horn Island and Cairns to better service current customers on the outer islands. “When you want to travel from Badu Island, or Darnley, for example, you can book one ticket and we’ll take you right through to Cairns,” the CEO said. “This will make travel a lot easier and the flights are accessible under the Local Fare Scheme.” Skytrans has also brokered a deal with the Rebel ferry so that passengers travelling to or from Thursday Island can book the route directly, including the ferry service. The re-opened route will be ser-

viced by a new Dash 8 plane that is expected to join the fleet in the coming weeks. “We have been listening to the calls of the locals, as well as business travellers, who said they wanted Skytrans to return to the Horn Island-Cairns route,” Mr Milne said. “We hope that the service is now supported so that it remains for many years to come. “There are also some opportunities in the freight industry so please get in touch with us to see what we can offer you.” The first Cairns-Horn flight will depart on Friday, July 30. Tickets can now be booked online or through your local booking agent. See next week’s paper for the full Torres Strait schedule.

star Positive numbers on Moa, TikTok gets gig on but others fall well behind TV series RESIDENTS of Warraber and Poruma islands and the St Paul’s and Kubin communities on Moa Island turned out in large numbers last week to receive their first dose of Pfizer vaccine. On Moa Island, 128 people were vaccinated in the St Paul’s community out of an eligible population of 181 people, while 83 out of an eligible 98 people at the Kubin community also were vaccinated. On Warraber Island, 93 people out of an eligible population of 153 were vaccinated and on Poruma (Coconut) Island, 53 people out of an eligible population of 130 were vaccinated. Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service Executive Director of Medical Services Dr Tony Brown said the turnouts at Warraber, Kubin and St Paul’s in particular had been heartening. “I commend residents in these communities for coming along and rolling up their sleeves in such numbers,” he said. “In doing so, they are not just protecting themselves but their communities.” Dr Brown said 282 people also

from Wednesday to Friday and to Erub (Darnley) Island from Tuesday to Friday. “We will also have a team delivering the second dose of Pfizer on Horn Island at the sports complex from from Monday to Friday and at the community hall on Hammond on Friday,” Dr Brown said. “The following week, we will be back on Badu and Mer islands to deliver the second dose of Pfizer. “We will then deliver the second dose of Pfizer to residents of Warraber and Poruma islands, the St Paul’s and Kubin communities on Moa Island from July 26-30. “I urge everyone to turn up and be vaccinated when our teams are in their communities. “Going forward, anyone in our communities who did not receive a vaccination whilst our teams were in their communities, with either their first or second dose, can contact their local health facility and express their interest in having a vaccination.” Dr Brown said he wanted to remind everyone they required two doses of COVID-19 vaccine to be maximally protected.

TORRES Strait Islander TikTok sensation Wollie Gela will star on new TV series All My Friends are Racist. Created by Enoch Mailangi, the show is a comedy aimed at deconstructing racism. It’s a queer, blak love story, about two best friends who are cancelled by all their friends who find a book that the two use to list racist friends. The show sounded great to Gela, who has more than 25,000 TikTok followers and says he receives racial and confronting commentary daily on social media platforms, including TikTok. “I’m a proud young person from Darnley Island, Boigu Island, Kaurareg, Butchella and Kubbi Kubbi,” Gela said. “My passion is people, culture and community – I express my passion by volunteering at Deadly Inspiring Youth Doing Good.” The show has been tipped to be released in the coming months on ABC iview.

Queues at the Jardine River ferry have spanned for several kilometres at times this tourist season.

Lengthy queues at ferry ignite calls for bridge From – Page 1 Mr Sanders said the advantages of a bridge to bring in more road freight could benefit the Northern Peninsula Area businesses and create economic opportunities. The issue will raise its head next week when Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch will meet with NPARC councillors and staff to discuss issues in the region. The federal MP has been vocal about the need for a bridge across the Jardine River for many years and hopes the new council will give the project the green light. There is a $10 million commitment from the federal government to go towards the construction of a bridge. That won’t be enough to get the job done, but it’s a start, considering it would likely be a state government project. “I’m seriously concerned about the decision that was made recently to talk about a second ferry,” Mr Entsch said. “If they are serious about that then there is absolutely no value in a bridge. “We’ve got people waiting hours in line to get across the river. In some cases, the wait time has been longer than the drive time from Weipa to the Jardine.” Patsy Lennox from Loyalty Beach Camp Ground said a bridge made sense for both locals and tourists. “Build a bridge,” she said immediately when asked her preference. “I think the long waits this tourist season has shown that we need a bridge. “More and more road is getting sealed and that means more traffic, which means that the wait times will only get longer. “The barge has broken down three times this year, which has meant for some really long wait times.” Ms Lennox said her business and most others in the NPA were enjoying a bumper tourist season. “We’ve had a few big cancellations because of the COVID in Sydney but it’s been very good,” she said. Mr Entsch said building a bridge over the Jardine River would create enough economic growth and jobs in the NPA to replace the

Doctor happy to be a role model

JAMES Cook University graduate Dr Nathan Passi wants to inspire a new generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors and create change in Indigenous health. The Townsville University Hospital emergency medicine registrar is proud of his Torres Strait Islander heritage. The theme of NAIDOC Week in 2021, Heal Country, holds special significance for Dr Passi’s family as direct descendants of Sam and David Passi, two of the five Murray (Mer) Islanders whose battle for recognition of their legal rights as traditional land owners resulted in the landmark Mabo ruling. “Country represents identity, spirituality and connection,” Dr Passi says. “Country is very important to my people, and my family, as my ancestors fought for recognition of Indigenous land rights and Indigenous identity as plaintiffs in the Mabo case. “I would encourage people to read about Indigenous history, learn about your local area and really connect with the country we are so fortunate to live on.” Dr Passi’s training in emergency medicine has included two rotations to Palm Island, the largest Indigenous community in Queensland, which he says has had

the biggest impact on his career. “Emergency medicine is a fastpaced specialty. It’s all about quick assessments and decisions,” he said. “No one wants to come to the emergency department and for most people it is the worst part of their day. Sometimes by the nature of the ED environment, it can be more difficult to form strong connections with patients. “In Mount Isa I worked with amazing FACEMs (Fellows of the

Australasian College for Emergency Medicine) like Dr Julia De Boos and Dr Zafar Smith, who showed me the power of taking the time to connect with patients, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. “But it was my time on Palm Island where I was really able to put this into action. “It was eye-opening to see how positively the community and Indigenous staff received me, and how well they responded to

an Indigenous doctor; and it all stemmed from the time I took with patients and their families in the ED. It has had the biggest impact on me so far in my career. “I realised as an Indigenous doctor I was in a unique position to have a powerful influence on my patients in ED. “Through my interactions, I’m hopeful I can help break down barriers to improve access to health services, encourage positive lifestyle changes and hopefully also

show young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids that they, too, can become doctors.” Dr Passi has recently been involved in a project headed by Dr Jon Hodge to establish an Indigenous health pathway for junior doctors at Townsville University Hospital. He is also the co-chair of the Transforming EDs Towards Cultural Safety Committee at TUH and is a trainee representative on the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine Indigenous Health Committee. The former Ryan Catholic College student says he has become more active in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health as a result of his clinical experiences in Mount Isa and on Palm Island. “We forget that there were close to 500 Indigenous nations across Australia at the time of colonisation, each with a distinct culture and different belief systems,” Dr Passi said. “I try hard to have a conversation with my Indigenous patients and understand who they are and acknowledge where they come from. Our Indigenous patients want to be seen and acknowledged, and want their cultures to be celebrated.” – Article supplied by JCU

TSRA launches career development plan COINCIDING with the start of NAIDOC Week celebrations, the Torres Strait Regional Authority launched its Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal Recruitment and Career Development Strategy 2021-2024. The strategy has been developed over the past year. Extensive consultation was conducted with Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal staff. It builds on the TSRA’s strategic goals and vision by increasing Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal participation in the

Australian public service, and enhanced satisfaction of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal staff within the organisation. TSRA chair Pedro Stephen said the strategy recognised the unique history and circumstances within the TSRA as the Commonwealth’s leading agency on Indigenous affairs in the region. “Enabling Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal staff to realise their career aspirations and potential is a core value of the TSRA,” he said. “I am proud that we have

launched this strategy – it builds on the inclusive workplace culture and empowerment of our staff. Further, it exemplifies the importance of cultural integrity and recognises Ailan Kastom and traditional Aboriginal cultures.” TSRA chief executive Leilani Bin-Juda worked on the development of the strategy from inception to delivery. “The strategy showed a deep commitment and investment in TSRA’s future workforce by recognising the immense contribution Torres Strait Islander and

Aboriginal employees make to the Australian public service,” the CEO said. “It was important that the strategy identified key areas of focus including cultural integrity, career pathways, and career development and advancement The strategy aligns with the Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Workforce Strategy 2020-2024, as well as the National Agreement on Closing the Gap measures. A copy of the strategy can be found on the TSRA website.

Census data helping to keep Torres culture alive RENOWNED Torres Strait Islander cultural group from Mer (Murray) Island, Eip Karem Beizam, uses census data to support continuation of culture for the Meriam community living away from the island. Proud Meriam woman Ofa Mabo is a lead coordinator of the cultural group which has more than 60 members of professional dancers, weavers, linguists, singers and songwriters. “Our mission is to ensure the Meriam people and culture survives for generations to come,” Ms Mabo said. “We are using census data to help us with this mission. “Other cultural groups can also use the census data to identify opportunities to build a better tomorrow.” Eip Karem Beizam used census data to identify a need in the community and address it. The census revealed low numbers of people speaking Meriam Mer at home. Eip Karem Beziam used census data to secure funding to run cultural programs and language workshops for Meriam people. “Census data reveals that

only 1.7 per cent of Torres Strait Islanders spoke Meriam Mer at home, compared to 7 per cent for the Kalaw Lagaw Ya and Kalaw Kawa Ya language groups,” Ms Mabo said. “The most common language spoken in Torres Strait Islander households was Yumplatok, which is Torres Strait Creole.” Ms Mabo also works for the Australian Bureau of Statistics as a census engagement manager on Thursday Island. A big part of her role is to make sure communities and islands across the Torres Strait are well informed and prepared to complete the census.

“The further we live away from home, the harder it can get to continue speaking and practicing language, because we are coming out of the natural environment,” Ms Mabo said. Eip Karem Beizam run a number of language programs on Thursday Island, and have travelled extensively to perform and practice culture in Townsville, Sydney and Canberra where Meriam people reside. “We use funds from grants to pay for venues to come together to provide a safe space for the language to be spoken without barriers,” Ms Mabo said. The group relies on Meri-

am Elders and fluent language speakers to help facilitate workshops and pass on knowledge to younger generations. “Statistics prove that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people die younger than nonAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It is critical that we acknowledge and embrace the wisdom of the Elders that we have now, especially those who are fluent speakers,” Ms Mabo said. She is encouraging other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural groups to use census data to support programs that keep Indigenous languages and cultures alive. The 2021 Australian census will be held nationally on Tuesday, August 10. For people in remote communities, there will be census field staff on the ground in July and August to help people complete their census form. Information and resources to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is available at www.census.abs. gov.au/indigenous or by phone on 1800 512 441.

Strait twist put on a classic play A MODERN take of Shakespeare’s Othello will premiere at this year’s Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. This tri-lingual (Kala Lagaw Ya, Yumpla Tok and English) production is set between Cairns and the Torres Strait, illuminating the vital role of the Torres Strait Light Infantry during World War II. More than 800 Torres Strait Islander men volunteered to protect the northern tip of Australia and this setting inspired the adaptation. For co-creator and lead actor Jimi Bani, staging Othello at CIAF is a chance to share the stories of his family, while fulfilling a longheld career aspiration. “Othello is the role I have been wanting to play since studying and graduating from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts – it’s always been my dream and I’m so grateful that the opportunity has finally come,” he said. “It’s fitting that we set this version in wartime 1942 in the Torres Strait. My grandfather, the late Solomon Gela and my great grandfather, the late Ephraim Bani Snr both enlisted – as did all ablebodied Torres Strait Islander men. “I grew up on Thursday Island and had the privilege of hearing their war stories, and I continue to carry all these men and women in my heart.” Jimi will be joined by a stellar cast with Emily Burton as Desdemona, Benjin Maza as Cassio, Andrew Buchanan as Iago, Majeda Beatty as Bianca and Eugene Gilfedder as Brabantio. Casting also includes Matt McInally as Rodorigo, Sarah Ogden as Emilia and Kevin Hides as the Lieutenant Colonel. As audiences would expect from a Jimi Bani production, family is always integral to the experience, and his brothers complete the company – Richard Bani as Montano, with Conwell and Gabriel Bani as soldiers/dancers.

Torres Strait actor Jimi Bani has joined forces with director Jason Klarwein to put a Torres Strait twist on Shakespeare classic Othello.

Director Jason Klarwein has relished collaborating with Jimi again, finding Othello the ideal play to connect with the unique story of the Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion. “Jimi and I have a strong professional relationship after creating My Name Is Jimi with his father, the late Adhi Dimple Bani,” he said. “I am very blessed to be able to further our connection through promoting and preserving the languages and culture distinct to Torres Strait Islander peoples. “Many people know about the bombings of Darwin during the

war, but not many know the story of Horn Island and the straits, which were bombed more than 500 times. “This had a huge cultural impact on Far North Queensland, for not only First Nations peoples, but all people living there. “This era of change and danger makes a perfect platform from which to begin the tragic twists and turns of Othello.” Lee Lewis, artistic director of Queensland Theatre, is excited to premiere Othello in North Queensland, the first company production to debut outside of Brisbane since 2017.

“Jimi Bani is one of the true treasures of Australian theatre. It was such a joy to see audiences captivated by his incredible presence in Our Town earlier this year. I can’t wait for CIAF audiences to be first to see him in this new, deeply personal production of Othello,” Ms Lewis said. “Premiering work in centres other than Brisbane is essential for us as the state theatre company, and we are so pleased that our partnership with CIAF allows us to do just that.” Janina Harding, artistic director of CIAF sees Othello as adding an important and thought-provoking

perspective to the CIAF experience this year. “For CIAF to premiere this provocative interpretation of Othello is a perfect fit for today’s social climate, as it addresses issues of ‘othering’ and racism,” she said. “I look forward to CIAF audiences gaining new insights, whilst being entertained by the brilliant Torres Strait Islander-led cast.” Othello will be performed from August 16-21 at Bulmba-ja, Cairns as part of the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair. Bookings can be made through queenslandtheatre.com.au or by calling 1800 355 528.
