Crew members from bulk carrier MV Sanyu walk off a vessel at Evans Landing and straight into a Queensland Health mini van, where they were taken directly to Weipa Airport to be flown to Brisbane.

LOCALS KEPT IN THE DARK ABOUT CASE

COVID confusion

By MATT NICHOLLS

EVERY crew member aboard a bulk carrier anchored off Weipa has tested positive to COVID-19, with nine of them left on board the vessel.

There was and is no safety risk to the

Cape community, but that didn’t stop widespread panic and confusion when the news was broken on Wednesday.

Queensland’s chief health officer Jeanette Young gave little detail about how the infected crew members would be handled locally, while there were no

public communications from Member for Cook Cynthia Lui, Rio Tinto or the Weipa Town Authority.

At 4pm, almost seven hours after the news was released, Rio Tinto put out a generic statement on its local Facebook page with little detail.

WEDNESDAY FROM 7.30PM

Originally it was 19 of 21 crew members reported to have COVID-19, but the two not infected were airlifted to Cairns and later tested positive.

They have since been flown to a hospital in south-east Queensland.

Panic levels heighten as result of misinformation EDITORIAL

By MATT NICHOLLS THE people of Cape York were let down by the Queensland government, Rio Tinto and the Weipa Town Authority last Wednesday.

While in their eyes there was nothing for locals to worry about, it was a different story for those who did not hold all the information.

Phones ran hot, the Facebook rumour mill went into overdrive and panicked parents were calling schools, preparing to pull their kids out of classrooms.

In her press conference, Dr Jeanette Young, the chief health officer of Queensland, gave scant detail about how Weipa people would be kept safe when she announced that a bulk carrier would be sent our way with a crew of 21 – 19 of whom were infected with COVID-19.

Cape York is lucky to have fended off the virus so far, with zero cases of community transmission in the region.

Locals look back on last year’s bubble with not-so-fond memories, but are nonetheless thankful they were kept safe.

That’s all they needed to hear from someone last week – that they would be safe.

And they needed to hear it from someone important. Not a newspaper editor, not via Facebook, but from a reputable leader and one with all the facts.

We might like the simple life in the Cape, but that does not mean we are to be treated as simpletons, unable to grasp the complexities of moving men off a ship and to the airport.

Once the facts are made clear, people breathe a little easier.

Our local leaders let us down last week. We hope there is no next time, but if so, they have learnt some important lessons.

This is a file picture of bulk carrier MV Sanyu, which is anchored off the coast of Weipa with nine crew on board.

Dr Jeanette Young was lacking in detail at her press conference.

Warren Entsch was glad the crew was looked after by state officials.

Why we had to look after the crew members of this vessel QUEENSLAND had an obligation to look after the crew members of an iron ore ship that was bound for Western Australia, Warren Entsch says.

The Member for Leichhardt said it was a no-brainer.

“As a country we have the capacity to do the right thing by them,” he said.

“I actually want to congratulate all the authorities who are offering support and getting these people into the proper care they need.”

The MV Sanyu had left the Phillipines and was steaming

through the Torres Strait when it requested a pilot. In the process, it was revealed the vessel had unwell crew members.

Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service CEO Bev Hamerton said they received advice of the potential situation on the ship on Monday, when it was off Goods Island in the Torres Strait.

“Two staff from Thursday Island Hospital in full personal protection equipment were then flown to the ship on Tuesday to assess and test the crew, with the test samples undergo-

ing rapid testing at the hospital laboratory,” she said.

“When the tests came back positive for 19 of the crew, a decision was taken to relocate the ship to waters off Weipa to facilitate easier and safer removal of those crew deemed as requiring hospital care and retrieval to COVID hospitals.”

All 21 crew members have ended up with COVID-19, but nine remain on board the vessel, which is still anchored off the coast of Weipa.

It will take several weeks before it can depart.

Five crew members were transported off MV Sanyu to the Evans Landing wharf on Thursday morning by Carpentaria Contracting’s Strait Shooter.

Careful planning results in low risk to community

By MATT NICHOLLS

STRICT protocols should ensure that Cape York residents are at no risk of catching COVID-19 from the crew members who were transported to Weipa and put on a plane to Brisbane.

Vance Wallin, the owner of Carpentaria Contracting, said there was no way for the crew members from MV Sanyu to pass it onto his three workers who transported them from their anchor point to the Evans Landing wharf.

“They were in full protective gear and upstairs and had no contact with the crew,” he said.

“Before they went out to pick them up, we put chairs out on the deck for them to sit on. At no point did they go inside the vessel (Strait Shooter) or interact with anyone that wasn’t a medical person in full protective gear.

“From the wharf, they got straight into a mini van and were taken to Weipa Hospital.”

Mr Wallin was not a member

Torres and Cape Health service CEO Bev Hamerton.

of the three-man team that operated Strait Shooter.

He instead flew in three Cairns employees and they are now isolating on another boat, ensuring that no shortcuts are taken to protect the Weipa and wider community.

Carpentaria Contracting did two runs, transporting five crew members on Wednesday night and another five crew members on Thursday morning.

The two crew members that had originally tested negative to COVID-19 were airlifted off the vessel and taken to Cairns, but

have since tested positive and were transported to Brisbane.

Nine crew members, all with COVID-19, have been left on board the vessel to ensure the ship’s safety.

“The removal of the crew from the ship and their transfer by air from Weipa by retrieval aircraft posed minimal risk to anyone involved, or to the public of Weipa,” Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service CEO Bev Hamerton said.

“The transfer of crew from the ship to Weipa airport and subsequent retrieval by air to south-east Queensland hospitals was undertaken under the strictest infection control procedures.

“Everyone involved in the process was masked and wore full personal protection equipment – including the affected crew members.

“There was no contact with anyone not immediately involved in the retrieval process.

“They were transported from the wharf to the airport in a

Torres and Cape HHS vehicle, driven by a staff member from the Weipa Integrated Health Service. The health service vehicle also was followed by an ambulance if needed.

“Both the vessel that transported the crew from ship to shore and the vehicle that transported them to the airport were deep cleaned before each transfer, as well as after the final transfer.

“All health and emergency service personnel involved in the movement of the ship’s crew, along with any other officials involved, will have their health monitored daily for the next 14 days to ensure their continued safety.

“Torres and Cape HHS clinical staff will continue to support Maritime Safety Queensland in monitoring the health of the crew remaining aboard the affected ship.

“No staff from Weipa Integrated Health Service have been on the ship.”

An Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft from No. 1 Squadron, departs on a flying operation from RAAF Base Scherge during Exercise Talisman Sabre 2021.

An Air Force C-130J Hercules aircraft arrives at RAAF Base Scherger.

Scherger brought to life for TS21 THERE was a hive of activity at Cape York’s RAAF Base Scherger last week as part of a major military operation.

Air Force personnel were praised for transforming the bare base to a functional site for Exercise Talisman Sabre.

No. 382 Contingency Response Squadron Commanding Officer Wing Commander Stuart Wheal applauded the “one team” approach for the successful activation of RAAF Base Scherger.

Teams from the Combat Support Group and Surveillance and Response Group worked seamlessly to establish the fully functioning air base to facilitate air operations during the biennial multinational exercise.

“The planning has been months in the making,” Wing Commander Wheal said.

“No. 382 Squadron’s logistics staff worked diligently to get the equipment needed up there in a timely manner, to the coordination with all the wings of CSG to staff the base with the appropriately trained and ready people.

“However, in the grander scheme, Combat Support Division has been planning with all participants for a lot longer, establishing the requirements of CSG for the exercise as well as highlighting the training outcomes CSG needs from the event.”

Wing Commander Wheal said the aim of the team effort was to transform the bare base of RAAF Base Scherger into one that provided a similar level of service of-

fered by permanent air bases.

“We have many of the usual base services available. The mess and kitchen will be operational, as will air traffic control, the base command post and an array of other functions required to project air power,” he said “It is just like operating out of Amberley, but temporary.

“What is important to remember is that a Contingency Response Squadron such as 382, can be tasked to establish a base like this in a very short time frame within a variety of environments.

“The team that pulls the activation of Scherger together isn’t just 382 Squadron.

“We can’t forget SRG and the 27 Squadron caretakers who are al-

ways on the ground there keeping the base in a condition that makes our job easier.”

Wing Commander Wheal said participating in large-scale exercises such as TS21 provided an important opportunity for his squadron to apply its training.

“Scherger is an exciting opportunity for 382 Squadron. The squadron has been jumping out of their skin to take part and appreciates the opportunities that this exercise is bringing,” he said.

“We are working with elements of the Air Force that we do not normally work with.

“Learning more about their contribution to air power and refining our skills are awesome outcomes of the exercise.”

IN their first exercise since joining the Air Force, two young aviators were last week deployed to RAAF Base Scherger to help bring the bare base to an operational capability.

Aircraftwomen Maeghan Lewis, 24, and Alese Clark, 22, were deployed as personnel capability specialists working from the base command post.

“As administration staff, we were heavily involved in the exercise planning and preparation,” Aircraftwoman Lewis said.

“Our main role once we arrived was to track personnel coming in and out of the location and coordinate accommodation, the payment of allowances to members,” Aircraftwoman Clark said.

Aircraftwoman Lewis said the multi-national exercise provided perspective on capabilities.

“Working at a contingency response squadron (CRS) we have heard and learnt a lot about what we do, so it’s amazing to see all the training put in action,” she said.

“It’s a great opportunity to see what all of the other sections do and get some experience in exercise operations.

Aircraftwoman Clark said working from a bare base helped

her understand what it took to project air power.

“It has been really interesting to see how all the various components combine to work together as an integral element of such a large-scale exercise,” she said.

“This is the first time both Maeghan and I have deployed on an exercise; it’s an experience neither of us will forget and sets us up well for our future in the Air Force.”

Held every two years, Exercise Talisman Sabre is the largest bilateral training activity between Australia and the United States, aimed to test Australian interoperability with the United States and other participating forces in complex warfighting scenarios.

Microgrids could power up the Cape THREE projects across Cape York and the Torres Strait have been awarded funding to help reduce the reliance on diesel-generated power in the region.

Ener-G Management Group will receive $1,732,940 towards feasibility studies that will investigate microgrid technologies for Napranum, as well as Muralug (Prince of Wales) Island.

“Muralug is a community in Torres Strait that has no community electricity service while the Napranum community seeks to transition from current reliance upon mining operations for its energy supply to self-generation,” said Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch.

He said the federal government was continuing to support the supply of secure, reliable and affordable power for regional and remote communities to drive economic growth and help them get ahead.

“Microgrids reduce regional communities’ reliance on diesel generation, bringing down the price of electricity bills for households and businesses and cutting emissions,” the MP said.

Volt Advisory Group will receive $1,995,000 towards undertaking a study into a renewable microgrid for Wujal Wujal.

“This could lead to potential co-ownership with the local Wujal Wujal community and resulting education, employment, and emissions reduction benefits,” Mr Entsch said.

“Finally, Ergon Energy will receive $546,720 towards a feasibility study that will focus on the communities of Bamaga, Horn Island, Thursday Island, Palm Island and Magnetic Island.

“The study will lead a transition to renewable energy, emissions reductions and improvement in resilience by displacing imported fossil fuels with local renewable fuel sources.

“It will also analyse viable options to value stack the hydrogen technology with non-energy generation industries, such as the transport industry.”

The federal government has committed $25 million for 20 microgrid feasibility studies under the Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund.

Cape artists to feature at CIAF WUJAL Wujal artist Lila Creek will be one of many Cape York representatives to have works featured at the upcoming Cairns Indigenous Art Fair.

Lila was born in Mossman in 1952, and has been an avid artist for many years. She has a large family with four children, three step-children, 21 grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren.

“I love going out with the fam-

ily to the beach hunting for food and having a fire with damper,” she said.

Lila’s mother’s people come from the Kuku Nyungkul clan of the Shipton Flat/Helenvale area.

Her father belongs to the Kaanju tribe of Coen.

Lila has participated in many group exhibitions over the past few years including Cape York Art in Cooktown, the Darwin and

Cairns Indigenous Art Fairs, and the Endeavour Voyage exhibition at the National Museum of Australia.

CIAF officially opens on Thursday, August 18 in Cairns.

General manager Darrell Harris said CIAF 2021 was shaping up to be one of the most significant events in its 12-year history.

Organisers have already enacted their digital COVID plan.

Accelerating success.

CORONAVIRUS ravaged small and medium Queensland businesses will finally have access to support payments with the state government to announce its first COVID-19 package for the sector since the introduction of snap lockdowns.

One-off payments of $5000 will now be available to businesses across the state, regardless of whether they are in a lockdown area.

To be eligible for this particular grant, a business must have an annual turnover of $75,000 or more and have a payroll of $10m a year or less.

The support package is slated to cost

the state government $260 million and is designed to help the sector through greater Brisbane’s current lockdown.

Treasurer Cameron Dick said Queensland’s economy had “recovered quickly from short sharp lockdowns” but acknowledged the current lockdown has come very soon since the last.

“We understand two lockdowns within a month presents a new challenge, which is why I am announcing this package,” he said.

Business peak bodies have been crying out for a state government support package since March when Queensland went into lockdown after JobKeeper expired.

Vaccination teams arrive in Cape CAPE York and Northern Peninsula Area residents are being urged to step up and get their jabs when the vaccination teams arrive in their communities.

The Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service are in the NPA this week, visiting all five of the communities, and will make their way to other parts of the Cape next week.

“We are encouraging people to book in early for the Weipa public clinic at the Storm Surge Shelter, as well as for Coen, Lockhart River, Kowanyama, Napranum and Pormpuraaw,” CEO Bev Hamerton said.

“You can call our booking number on (07) 3497 3442 to book.

“As in the Torres Strait, we will be offering Pfizer vaccination – not AstraZeneca – to everyone in each Cape York and Northern Peninsula

NEWS IN BRIEF New citizens welcomed SIX new Australian citizens took the pledge of allegience at a ceremony in Weipa last week.

WTA chairman Michael Rowland said the new citizens came from a raft of different backgrounds and each had a story to tell of their journey to become Australians.

“It’s one of the best things about this job; to welcome our newest citizens,” he said.

“We are a lucky country and we sometimes forget that.”

Testing numbers strong THE Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service has tested almost triple the population of Weipa since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Raw numbers reveal the scale of the Torres and Cape HHS’s COVID-19 response.

Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Beverley Hamerton said the community had played an important part in the fight against the pandemic by getting tested in large numbers right across the region.

As of July 29, 10,875 tests on 7194 people have been completed in the Torres and Cape HHS region and no quarantine notices issued.

Torres and Cape HHS has administered 7125 vaccinations, including 5539 Pfizer doses and 1586 AstraZeneca doses.

Business grants available THE state government’s popular Business Basics grants are getting a $5 million top up, with $5000 grants available for small businesses in Far North Queensland.

Minister for Employment and Small Business Di Farmer said the grants were delivering on the commitment in the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan to back small business.

“The hugely popular Business Basics grant was launched on May 31, and as we had acted on the feedback from my Small Business Roadshow and shared details and an example application form in advance, we received thousands of applications very quickly,” she said.

“While it was fantastic that there were so many people ready to go with strong applications, the last round was oversubscribed and so it’s running again with a focus on regional Queensland.”

St Joseph’s celebrate education

By MEGAN PEARCE St Joseph’s school principal

LAST week in Weipa we celebrated Catholic Education Week, an annual event to promote the special ethos of Catholic schools and to highlight the great things that take place in Catholic schools every day.

The theme for this year was: A Spirited Tomorrow.

Catholic education strives to make a difference in the lives of those in our schools and in the wider community by challenging young people to live out the message of Jesus and to reach their full potential as compassionate, contributing, life-giving members of society.

There are 309 Catholic schools in Queensland that educate around 154,000 students and employ more than 20,000 teachers and staff, and most celebrated Catholic Education Week in some way.

St Joseph’s Weipa joined together as a community to celebrate all the wonderful aspects of learning in a Catholic school.

At St Joseph’s every child is known, valued and cared for in an environment where our students strive to achieve high expectations in a safe, happy environment fostering humility, care and respect.

The week started with a special Spirit of St Joseph Mass and announced the Spirit of St Joseph recipients.

Students, teachers and parents took part in some dancing last Wednesday.

St Joseph’s Parish School principal Megan Pearce with Father Dariusz Osinski and the recipients of the Spirit of St Joseph Award for 2021.

The Spirit of St Joseph Award is given annually to a student from each class that best shows generous, loving service to others, in the manner of St Joseph.

On Wednesday evening, our families came and enjoyed a fun filled night of dancing when we celebrated our inaugural MAD Showcase Let’s Dance, which gave our students the opportunity to share what they learnt in our music, arts and drama program in semester one.

Our first MAD was definitely a joyful event with so many memorable moments.

A highlight for the week was our open classrooms morning on Friday when we welcomed families into classrooms to find out more about learning and teaching at St Joseph’s.

Council has limited room for spending AURUKUN Shire Council has approved the annual budget for the 2021-22 financial year.

Mayor Keri Tamwoy outlined the importance of the budget saying it was key to ensuring the ongoing operation of the many services that the council operates for the benefit of the whole Aurukun township.

Acknowledging the financial pressures on the community, Cr Tamwoy said there had been an extended effort in establishing cost savings in the year’s budget with increases to council’s services fees and charges capped at 1.61%.

“While council receives substantial grant funding from both state and federal bodies, there is also a significant effort in producing own-source revenue from sales, fees and charges, private and contract works in order to fund council’s broad operations,” she said.

“The 2021-22 budget includes several major capital works projects, including the completion of the Aurukun Airport Terminal and upgrade of the Aurukun Waterfront Development, both partly funded

by the state through Works for Queensland funding.

“Council approved a capital works program of $10.3 million this financial year, which includes $1.25 million of council’s ownsource revenue toward the program, with no new borrowings required.

“Council was pleased to introduce a community safety plan in the past year and looks forward to the ongoing positive implementation of goals with more than $1.2 million for community policing, security and CCTV operations.”

Due to the impacts of COVID-19 on community celebrations in the past months, Aurukun Shire Council is looking forward to a full schedule of events.

While the palm cockatoo and the red goshawk are some of the most popular species in Weipa, Ms Dibben said she had a soft spot for the lemon bellied fly catcher.

Bauxite operations manager Michelle Elvy said: “Rio Tinto is not only proud to bring this event to life – we’re also very excited for the community to discover more about these beautiful birds, how they behave and how we can find and identify them.

“It’s very special to be a part of the community as we all immerse ourselves in the wonderfully diverse flora and fauna we live amongst here in Weipa.”

“The benefits of this experience include raising awareness and to support the education and research of our local wildlife.”

The birdwatching event starts at 7am on Saturday for the early birds and 9am for families keen on a sleep-in.

Minister in Cape to open projects POLICE Minister Mark Ryan joined Kowanyama community representatives on Friday to officially open two important infrastructure projects supported by the state government.

Mr Ryan, who is Kowanyama’s ministerial champion, said more than $2 million was provided to Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council towards stage two of the airport terminal, as well as upgrades to the Kowanyama Community Meeting Place.

“The Kowanyama Airport Terminal received $1 million from the Building our Regions program and $500,000 from the Works for Queensland program, with council contributing approximately $105,000 to improve the security, safety and efficiency of the airport,” Mr Ryan said.

“The latest works included add-

ing more seating, an undercover standing area, a secure undercover baggage area, disabled and babychange facilities, and a kiosk and office space.

“The completion of these works will boost tourism and business opportunities, with long-term connectivity benefits for residents,

fly-in/fly-out service providers, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service, airline staff, and visitors to the region.”

Member for Cook Cynthia Lui said the council also received $520,000 from the Works for Queensland program and the COVID Works for Queensland

program for upgrades to the Kowanyama Community Meeting Place to create a more modern hub for locals to congregate, learn and connect.

“These newly upgraded facilities will allow for a variety of existing and new community activities and events, arts and crafts, as well as provide new employment and training opportunities,” she said.

“In the short term it is also providing an interim meeting venue for the local women’s group while their facility is being finished.”

Director General of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning, Damien Walker, said programs such as Building our Regions and Works for Queensland were designed to assist councils to build or upgrade infrastructure for

the long-term good of their communities.

“This is fantastic investment in the future of regional businesses and trades, as well as in the development of burgeoning communities,” he said.

Kowanyama mayor Robbie Sands thanked the government for its support to deliver these crucial projects in Kowanyama.

“The completion of the meeting place allows us to support our locals better, with more opportunities for engagement activities, education, support groups and events,” he said.

“And with the Kowanyama Transport Hub now having the same facilities as other airports, we hope to increase visitors to the region all year round supporting the development of our local economy.”

NEWS IN BRIEF Road safety grant WEIPA’S St Joseph’s Parish School has been awarded almost $14,000 to produce a road safety song and video.

The money comes from the Queensland government’s Community Road Safety Grants program.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said this year’s round of grants supported 55 road safety initiatives across the state, delivered by community-based, not-for-profit organisations, schools and local governments.

Member for Cook Cynthia Lui said the grants built on the government’s commitment to road safety.

Ombudsman eyes diversity THE Queensland Training Ombudsman will examine the support available for the state’s apprentices and trainees, with a focus on removing barriers for women in traditionally male-dominated trades.

Minister for Training and Skills Development Di Farmer has asked the Queensland Training Ombudsman to review the support measures available to apprentices and trainees across the state.

“Apprentices and trainees are the skilled workers our businesses and economy will rely on in the future, which is why we made investing in skills a focus in our COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan,” she said.

“There’s over $1 billion in training and skills this year alone, and our free TAFE and free apprenticeships for under 25s have helped more than 36,000 young Queenslanders so far.

“The Palaszczuk Government has made gender equity a key priority throughout our policy making, and that absolutely includes women training in traditionally maledominated trades.”

Plan to tackle gambling A FOUR-YEAR plan to prevent and minimise gambling harm to Queenslanders, families, and local communities was released by the state government during Responsible Gambling Awareness Week.

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said the gambling harm minimisation plan for Queensland outlined the shared roles and responsibilities for government, industry and community to reduce gambling-related harm in the state.

“We all have a role to play in supporting Queenslanders to gamble safely,” she said.

Mountain bike riders raise a quarter of a million TWO dozen riders have finished the 2021 Kenfrost Homes Ride to the Cape with more than weary muscles, bringing home a record donation amount for seriously ill children.

Twenty-four mountain bike riders took off from Cairns on July 17, biking up to 126km every day across difficult terrain to reach the tip of Cape York on Sunday, July 25 – all to raise funds for Ronald McDonald

House Charities North Australia.

RMHC North Australia chief executive Tamara South said the ride raised a record-breaking $250,000.

“The Kenfrost Homes Ride to the Cape has raised the equivalent of 1562 nights’ accommodation for seriously ill or injured children and their families,” Ms South said.

“This is the most successful single fundraising event

in RMHC North Australia’s history and is an incredible testament to everyone involved.

“Local families turn to us in times of great need and it’s with thanks to fundraisers like these that we are well placed to care for families when they need it most.”

Event organiser, Jill Lennox said the generosity of all involved saw the original fundraising target surpassed by more than $100,000.

Mum of five sets example Milestone up for our after six years of studying own RFDS ANTHEA Cartwright has celebrated her admission as a lawyer in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory.

There were times it felt impossible, but the young mum of five wouldn’t let anything stand in the way of her passion for law.

The proud Kunibidgi woman from Maningrida in North East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, completed her Bachelor of Laws across six years with CQUniversity.

The hectic time also saw Ms Cartwright grow her family to five kids, take on a full-time role as an Indigenous teacher aide, and live on the other side of the country from her Top End community.

“There were definitely times it felt impossible and I felt like giving up, but I had that dream from being a young girl, that I want to be a lawyer,” she said.

“I did everything online, all my Zoom sessions with my tutor, all my oral and video assignments online – it was the only way I could have done it.”

Living in Hervey Bay at the time, Ms Cartwright said initially she’d travelled to Maryborough for exams.

“I remember once I took my husband and my newborn with me, then fed the baby just before the three-hour exam, then the baby sat for three hours with dad in the car,

then I came out and fed again, and then we drove home,” she said.

“Looking back you have no idea how you did it, but now it’s all worth it!”

Ms Cartwright’s interest in law began with her passion for conservation.

“I originally wanted to become a park ranger – and where I was living in the bush outside Darwin, they were doing a lot of mining there,” she said.

“There’s a really vulnerable species in that area, the Red Goshawk, and I spotted one of the birds there and reported it to conservation and land management authorities, and they weren’t really interested.

“I realised you don’t actually have much of a say in protecting wildlife and heritage in a hands-on role, and my dad said to me maybe a lawyer can make more of a difference.”

Ms Cartwright graduated from CQUniversity in 2018 and hopes to begin an Environmental Science degree once she’s practicing as a lawyer.

Her long-term goal is admission into the High Court of Australia.

She said becoming a mum at 21, and her big family, was a vital part of her success.

THIS year marks 25 years of mental health service delivery by the Royal Flying Doctor Service for people living in regional, rural and remote Queensland.

The initial delivery of mental health services by the RFDS in Queensland followed a Commonwealth-funded feasibility study to explore several projects of national significance.

Once endorsed, the service was first delivered in 1996 by one clinical psychologist, Robert Williams.

Today, mental health services have become a mainstay for the RFDS with more than 12,000 mental health consultations delivered in rural and remote Queensland each year.

RFDS Queensland CEO Meredith Staib said the not-for-profit organisation had expanded its mental health workforce over recent years to help meet demand.

More than 30 staff are now employed to facilitate the current suite of mental health services.

“The RFDS is always looking at ways we can broaden our scope of healthcare delivery for the people of Queensland. The growth of our mental health program over the past 25 years is testament to our commitment to deliver world-class healthcare to people regardless of where they live,” Ms Staib said.

Queensland crocs make bold comeback in state CROCODILE populations in Queensland continue to recover after the reptiles were almost hunted to extinction before being protected in the 1970s, a new state government survey shows.

Department of Environment and Science wildlife program coordinator Dr Matt Brien who led the three-year Queensland Estuarine Crocodile Monitoring Program and said results showed the current estuarine crocodile population was estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000 nonhatchling animals.

“The population recovery has been relatively slow and highly variable across the ranges of species since the unregulated hunting of estuarine crocodiles for their skins was banned,” Dr Brien said.

“The average rate of population growth for the species across its range is 2.2 per cent per year and only 20 per cent of its population is found south of Cooktown.

“The survey showed the spatial distribution of crocodiles in Queensland has not changed, and there is no evidence of any southward expansion of its range.

“Due to the limited amount of suitable nesting habitat, the

Tourists on Western Cape Eco Tours at Weipa pull up near a sandbank to spot a croc sunning itself in the cooler winter period.

Queensland crocodile population is not expected to reach the size or density of the Northern Territory crocodile population.

“Although crocodile numbers have increased along Queensland’s east coast, the survey showed the average size of the animals has decreased.

“This is a likely consequence of the state government’s crocodile management program, where crocodiles assessed as posing a threat to public safety are removed from the wild – with more than 450 crocodiles removed from 2004 to 2019.”

Dr Matt Brien said members of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature crocodile specialist group had reviewed the design of the monitoring program and subsequent technical report, and that a committee led by Queensland’s chief scientist would now review the state’s crocodile management program in the context of the report’s findings.

Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said as part of its budget, the government would invest an initial $12 million over the next four years for the ongo-

ing management of crocodile populations.

“With croc populations slowly increasing, it’s important that we continue our CrocWise program and make sure human safety remains the number one priority,” Ms Scanlon said.

“This was the most comprehensive crocodile population monitoring program to be carried out in Queensland since the 1994-2003 survey.

“Our team surveyed rivers in Cape York and the Gulf and as far south as Maryborough on the east coast and detected no crocodiles south of the Fitzroy River.

SURVEY FAST FACTS  56 boat surveys in 42 rivers over 2200km;  14 helicopter surveys were in 27 rivers covering 2500km;  The number and density of crocodiles are highest in northern Cape York Peninsula (three per kilometre);  The number and density of crocodiles declines southward with 1.2 per km in the Gulf of Carpentaria and Cairns region, down to 0.2/km in Rockhampton’s Fitzroy River  About 20 per cent of the crocodile population is found on the populated east coast from Cooktown to Rockhampton.

Medal in our sights

SPORT IN BRIEF Italian fastest on planet LAMONT Marcell Jacobs has delivered Italy its first gold medal in the men’s 100 metres at the Tokyo Olympics.

Jacobs powered to a shock victory with a strong second half of the race, to win in a European record of 9.80 seconds.

Fred Kerley of the United States, who until recently was a 400m specialist, claimed silver in 9.84.

Canada’s Andre de Grasse took the bronze in 9.89.

Even in a race with no clear favourites, Jacobs was a surprise winner to take the mantle held for the past 13 years by the now-retired Usain Bolt.

Boomers three wins from golden gong A BLOCKBUSTER semi-final against the United States or Spain awaits the Boomers if they can beat Argentina in an Olympics quarter-final tonight.

The Boomers are hunting gold and will take confidence from a win over the Argentinian side in an exhibition match before they arrived in Tokyo,

Patty Mills hitting a three-pointer on the buzzer in a three-point win.

The Australian men’s basketball team has never won an Olympic medal.

If they beat Argentina, it’s likely they will do battle with a star-studded USA team in the semi-final.

But even if they lose the semi, they

would go into a bronze medal match in a bid to score that elusive gong.

Torres Strait product Mills has led the Boomers’ scoring in their three games to date, with 25 in a 84-67 win against Nigeria, 16 in a tight 86-83 triumph over Italy and 24 in Saturday night’s 89-76 win against Germany.

SPORT IN BRIEF Countback at Wackers TANNER Granzien did just enough to win Wednesday Wackers at the Carpentaria Golf Club, but he was made to earn it.

A countback was required to determine the winner between Granzien and Bernie Single after they both fired a nett 31.5 in the nine-hole social event.

“Both had great games, especially Bernie, who doesn’t play that often,” said Wackers stalwart Steve Head.

“Bernie has improved heaps and a win isn’t far away.”

Head was nearest to pin on the 15th, while Granzien was closest on 18th.

Lauren Clark continues to improve but had to settle for the Bradman’s in a field of 13 golfers.

Triffit triumphs SCOTT Triffit beat a big field of 22 golfers on Sunday morning to claim honours in the Dawn Busters golf.

He beat Dave Sands, who wasn’t far off the pace, while Pat Heffernan rounded up the field with the Hoffamn’s gong.

Grant Crossley landed the longest drive off the first tee, while Matt Byrne picked up the nearest to pin prize.

Women’s classic weekend LOCKDOWNS in the south-east corner won’t stop the Weipa Bowls Club’s Bauxite Classic from going ahead this weekend.

The women’s event will be held on Saturday and Sunday and the good prize money has attracted strong nominations.

The men’s event will be held the following weekend.

See next week’s paper for all the results and pictures.

Sports centre opening DETAILS are still being locked in, but Weipa residents are invited to the official opening of the new sports facility at Rocky Point on Saturday, August 14.

There will be some games of social tennis and a number of other activities as members of the public get their first-hand look at the $11 million facility.

The precinct contains squash courts, a multipurpose sports arena, tennis courts, a gymnasium and other facilities.

Rio Tinto Weipa footed the bill for the majority of the project.

More details next week.

Proud Australian Tia-Clair Toomey holds up the flag after her fifth CrossFit Games win yesterday.

Toomey won nine of the 15 events.

Weipa Olympian still the fittest woman on planet WEIPA product Tia-Clair Toomey has won a fifth CrossFit Games to etch her name into the record books.

Toomey, who still has family living in Weipa, was an Olympic representative at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in weightlifting and won a gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

But it is her performances in CrossFit – a huge competition in the United States and Europe – that have put her on the global map.

Toomey’s title puts her in the history books as one of only two people to win five titles. She is tied with her old training mate Mat Fraser.

Toomey has the most individual events wins of any athlete in the history of CrossFit and is tied with the most consecutive individual event wins.

The commentators described her as the most dominant athlete ever in CrossFit. Toomey wrapped up the title

Toomey thanked husband and coach Shane Orr. They met in Weipa.

with time to spare. She won nine of the 15 events and by the time she won the 15th and final event, it was a mere formality.

“I’m still trying to create (my legacy),” Toomey said on Monday morning Australian time. “(Being a role model) means

everything, we all at one stage in our life start off and are inspired by so many different people in our worlds.

“For me to be a small part or a big part of that is just really humbling and also is such an honour.”

“For anyone out there trying to do your absolute best, just keep going.

“It requires so much hard work, but with the right team behind you, and if you have that desire and determination, anything is possible. I’m standing here today, showing you it is.”

Toomey thanked her husband Shane Orr, also from Weipa, who coaches her.

“He has been there since the very beginning, even before CrossFit.” Toomey confirmed she would “absolutely” be at the CrossFit Games next year. Second place was Hungary’s Laura Horvath, and third was Iceland’s Annie Thorisdottir, who won the Games in 2011 and 2012.

Island’s water supply salvaged by technology

Sonar to the rescue

By MATT NICHOLLS

THREE WINS FROM GOLD

THURSDAY Island was in danger of running out of fresh water in June and only a slice of good luck stopped a disaster from occurring in the Torres Strait.

The region’s most populated island only carries about a week’s worth of water at any given time and relies on a pipeline from Horn Island to replenish stocks.

That pipeline sprung a leak in mid-June and some good fortune at the time prevented the issue from escalating.

Member for Cook Cynthia Lui said state-of-the-art sonar averted a potential fresh water supply crisis for Thursday Island residents.

She said the pipeline leak was quickly found when a Maritime Safety Queensland hydrographic survey ship helped out.

“Thursday Island normally has about one week’s fresh water supply, which is backed up by supply pumped from Horn Island via an underwater pipeline,” Ms Lui said.

“That pipeline sprung a leak, so you can imagine how challenging it could have been to find a leak in a water pipe which is already under water and sand.

“Luckily for Thursday Island residents, Maritime Safety Queensland’s hydrographic survey ship QG Norfolk was on an annual mapping patrol mid-June and heard about the problem.

Sonar technology helps locate leak in water pipe From – Page 1 “Working with Torres Shire Council, the crew conducted a seabed survey along the length of the underwater pipeline from Horn Island to Thursday Island,” Ms Lui told Strait Talkin’.

“Amazingly, the ship’s crew was able to use a multibeam sounder to identify a suspicious sand mound and scouring about 500 metres off the north-eastern point of Thursday Island.”

The ship’s survey results and images were reported to the coun-

cil, which quickly organised divers. The divers had found the leak, about a metre under the seabed, and carried out repairs.

Torres Shire mayor Vonda Malone said it appeared the pipeline was leaking, threatening Thursday Island’s water supply, but council could not determine exactly where the leak was, to be able to fix it.

“This situation was understandably causing distress among Thursday Island residents, who needed some assurance that their

water supply was secure, as water on our islands is a precious commodity,” Cr Malone said.

Ms Lui said the QG Norfolk voyaged north annually to check depths and dimensions of navigation channels.

“This was a great example of the state and local governments combining resources to support our community in a time of need, so well done to everyone involved in what could have been a very tricky and troubling situation,” the MP said.

Physio loving life in Torres Strait EVERY day is a little bit different for one of Australia’s most northerly physiotherapists.

Betty Mareko is one of two Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service physiotherapists in the Torres Strait, along with Jane Doepel, who is the senior physio at Thursday Island Hospital.

“We see all the usual back, shoulder and knee pains physios deal with on the mainland, but some of the causes are a little different here in the Torres Strait,” said Ms Mareko.

“For instance, a common cause of shoulder pain up here is from spear fishing in our northerly waters, which is quite a regular pastime up here.

“As clinicians working in a very remote area, we see a very wide variety of patients, ranging from the very young to the very old, for a wide variety of conditions.

“On the outer islands in one day we could see a patient with a respiratory condition requiring chest physio, a paediatric patient requiring input for development, a patient with weakness secondary to a neurological condition, as well as the more general musculoskeletal conditions.”

But the most rewarding part of working in the Torres Strait is working with the region’s elderly population.

Originally from Townsville, Ms

Betty Mareko examines patient Dinah Sailor for a knee condition.

Mareko is of Torres Strait Islander heritage. She has family links to Iama (Yam) and Masig (Yorke) islands in the Torres Strait, which she says helps her find common ground with her more elderly patients.

“I find especially with the elderly population, that they really engage with me when they realise I am able to communicate with them in the same language they understand,” she said.

“Each elderly patient I think of as my mother and I think carefully on how I would translate information to help improve their health literacy and health outcomes.

“When I achieve this, I feel like I have made a real difference to their lives.”

Ms Mareko says she became interested in physiotherapy during her time at Kirwan State High School in Townsville.

She was a competitive touch footballer and the intensity of the sport meant she was often visiting physiotherapists for treatment for various sporting sprains.

“That’s what got me interested in physiotherapy as a career, so I went on to James Cook University, where I got my degree,” she said.

She has now been working as a physiotherapist on Thursday Island for five years.

And it’s not just Thursday Island. Her patch is wide-ranging.

Ms Mareko also helps deliver fortnightly physiotherapy clinics to the Northern Peninsula Area

The well-travelled physio prepares for a helicopter flight to an outer island.

communities and twice-yearly clinics to every island in the Strait.

For most islands, travel is by chartered or scheduled air service but a couple of islands – Dauan and Ugar (Stephen) islands are only accessible by helicopter.

“Every community is unique and it’s great getting out and about to each one.”

Although now a professional clinician, the physio has not lost her love of sport.

“I still play competitive touch football and will be part of a Tor-

res Strait Islander touch team to go to the All Nations touch football carnival on the Gold Coast in December,” she said.

As well as touch football, Ms Mareko and partner Ryan Shibasaki also are part of a local boxing club for young people.

The club, Zenadth Kes Boxing, trains young boxers and takes them to competitions down south.

“Helping people every day and being very much a part of the community is just so amazing. I feel very privileged every day.”

Young trainee has future planned SEA Swift worker and new mother Petta Nona is proving an inspiration after gaining qualifications from the marine transport company’s highly-successful traineeship program in record time.

Petta, who hails from Badu Island, recently achieved both her Certificate III in Warehouse and Storage Operations and a forklift licence after entering Sea Swift’s traineeship program in Cairns in April 2020.

The TAFE course was scheduled to take 24 months, but Petta completed this in half the allotted time, despite giving birth to her daughter Zafia 11 months ago.

Petta said she hopes to inspire her peers and other young Indigenous woman that you can do anything you put your mind to.

“I’m a big believer in taking every opportunity as they come, as you don’t when the next one may arrive,” she said.

“I am an example that this is possible, and I have so much confidence looking back, knowing what I have achieved as a young woman while being a mum and working.

“I would like to give acknowledgement to my late father who was a humble man and quiet achiever. He pushed me through when I needed it.

“I always remember his advice

to me, not knowing it was the last time I would speak to him when I first started at Sea Swift – ‘Never lose hope, you never know what tomorrow will bring’.”

Petta said she became pregnant shortly after starting the traineeship, but that it inspired her even more to achieve her dreams.

“I love being a mum and am very thankful for my family’s support in helping me to gain this achievement, caring for Zafia along with daycare while I work a full-time job,” she said.

Petta is now ready to take the next step in her development to a diploma, with a goal to become an operational manager and even potentially run her own depot.

Sea Swift CEO Rochelle Macdonald said she was proud of her success.

“Petta’s commitment and determination as a Badu Island woman is to make her dreams come true and make her family proud,” Dr Macdonald said.

“She is a prime example that if you set your mind to it and put the work in, you can achieve anything and that nothing is impossible.

Sea Swift’s traineeship program aims to develop trainees, including young Indigenous workers, into long-term employees at Sea Swift across Northern Australia.

Petta Nona is congratulated by Sea Swift chief executive officer Rochelle Macdonald.

Half of eligible population Indigenous tourism is now vaccinated in region given help VACCINATION rates in the Torres Strait continue to improve with nearly half the eligible population aged 16 years and over now fully vaccinated with two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service chief executive Beverley Hamerton said the fully vaccinated rate across the Torres Strait reached 49.5 per cent last week, while just over 68 per cent of the eligible population had received at least one dose of vaccine.

Some communities have recorded very high rates, including Mer Island (73 per cent fully vaccinated), Boigu Island (71 per cent), Iama Island (67 per cent), Saibai Island (63 per cent) and St Paul’s community (60 per cent).

On Thursday Island, nearly 53 per cent of the eligible population is now fully vaccinated, while 68.5 per cent have received at least one dose.

“Given the initial hesitancy we experienced in the Torres Strait following the issues with the AstraZeneca vaccine that were highlighted across Australia in early April, we have done well to get

where we are today,’’ the CEO said last week.

“I continue to urge Torres Strait residents, as well as residents of the Northern Peninsula Area and Cape York where we will start vaccinating from this week, to ignore misinformation and rumours that continue to abound on social media channels.

“It’s important you get your information from the sources you can trust.

“So, if you’ve heard something

about vaccination that concerns you, please talk to your doctor, visit your local primary healthcare centre, or talk to our vaccination teams when we’re in your community.

“Vaccination is the best and only way to protect our communities so please take the opportunity to be vaccinated when our teams come to your communities.”

Ms Hamerton said the health service had delivered 357 mostly second dose Pfizer vaccinations

last week at St Paul’s and Kubin communities on Moa Island, as well as at Warraber and Poruma islands.

From this week, vaccination teams will back on Ugar (Stephen) to deliver second doses of Pfizer.

The teams will visit various other outer islands to give second dose Pfizer for those that had their first dose.

Later this week, a team will be on Mabiuag Island for the first dose of Pfizer.

THE first round of the federal government’s Indigenous Tourism Fund has been announced with five organisations across Leichhardt successfully receiving funding under the program.

MP Warren Entsch said the grants were designed to help Indigenous-owned tourism businesses and community organisations increase the number of Indigenous tourism products available and support the startup, stabilisation or growth of operators in the sector.

“We are extremely proud of the rich history and indigenous cultures we have in the region and want to showcase this to as many people as we can,” he said.

“Cape York Peninsula Lodge Cultural Discovery Tours at Bamaga will receive $100,000 towards purchasing a four-wheel drive and product development to further showcase indigenous culture in the remote northern region of Cape York Peninsula.

“I really look forward to seeing first-hand how these grants will benefit these organisations moving forward.”

HAPEE program delivers results HEARING Australia, with the support of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services across Australia, has helped over 8000 First Nations children aged 0-6 years in some 240 communities during the past 12 months.

Through the Hearing Assessment Program: Early Ears (HAPEE program) initiative, Hearing Australia is collaborating to address the high rates of ear disease and hearing loss in First Nations children.

The HAPEE program is a result of a $30 million investment by the federal government to reduce ear disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

The HAPEE program focuses on children who are not enrolled in primary school.

Hearing Australia managing director Kim Terrell, said that 76 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services had signed up to support the delivery of the HAPEE program in their communities.

“The HAPEE program was developed with Aboriginal Commu-

nity Controlled Health Organisations, the Department of Health, key people from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hearing health sector and Hearing Australia,” he said.

“The HAPEE program is run on a national basis and links with existing community programs.

“This is a key priority for Hearing Australia given that over the past 12 months, some 30 per cent of children assessed by our audiologists had undiagnosed middle ear infections, while some 25 per cent had some form of undiagnosed hearing loss.”

Proud Torres Strait Islander woman Denise Newman is a HAPEE community engagement officer and she uses her cultural insights to help engage her local community with HAPEE. “The response from the community is amazing,” she said.

“People understand the importance of health workers and carers being upskilled to identify hearing loss issues in children and then learning how to refer them to HAPEE. “What’s really important is that staff education is maintained and kept consistent so there are no gaps in the hearing help our kids receive.”

To support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Hearing Australia has developed a new resource kit for organisations, primary health services and early child education workers.

Resources can be downloaded for from the Hearing Australia website at www.hearing.com.au/ HAPEE/

Denise Newman is a community engagement officer for the HAPEE program.

Karen Paterson (nee Dorante) is a Wagadam/ Meriam woman from the Torres Strait and has signed up to be an R U OK? Ambassador.

Why it’s time to ask your mob, R U OK? R U OK? has launched “I ask my mob, in my way, are you OK?”, to support ‘Stronger Together’ a targeted suicide prevention campaign for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The suite of resources for “I ask my mob, in my way, are you OK?” includes culturally appropriate content led by community voices with guidance from the R U OK? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Group and in collaboration with the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association.

The campaign encourages people to engage and offer support to their family, friends and colleagues who may be struggling with life. The resources feature engaging and authentic stories that promote a sense of connection, hope and identity.

“The Stronger Together campaign reinforces the power of yarning and ‘I ask my mob, in my way, are you OK?’ is about showing the many ways we can ask, listen, encourage, and check in with our mob,” said campaign manager Steven Satour.

“The most important thing for our mob to remember is that you don’t have to be an expert, you just have to be yourself and ask, in your own way, so you look after your mob.

“The resources give us the opportunity to get conversations started with individuals, organisations, and communities across Australia,” Mr Satour said.

“The stories released show there are so many ways we can, and already do, have R U OK? conversations.”

The resources will help peo-

ple feel more confident in having an R U OK? conversation and will serve as a platform to the development of additional tools for communities.

“We’ll also be bringing communities together to translate these resources because we know language is central to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures,” Mr Satour said.

“Culture is also fundamental for our overall social and emotional wellbeing.”

Reducing deaths by suicide and suicidal behaviour among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians is an issue of major concern for many communities and a public health priority.

Dr Vanessa Lee-Ah Mat is the chair of the R U, OK? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

Advisory Group, who provide professional counsel and voices of lived experience to guide the campaign.

“Nationally, Indigenous people die from suicide at twice the rate of non-Indigenous people,” she said.

“We know that starting conversations early can stop little problems growing into big ones.

We need our mob to ask the question, their way.

“When we launched Stronger Together in 2019 it got conversations started.

“These new stories from our community will help to keep the conversation going,” said Dr Lee-Ah Mat. The free Stronger Together community resources are available on the R U OK? website ruok.org.au/strongertogether
