BRACE FOR DRIER WET SEASON

El Niño kicks in By MATT NICHOLLS

DESPITE the emerging presence of a cyclone in the Coral Sea, Cape York residents should be prepared for a drier than usual December, experts warn. Apart from the odd shower, very little rain has been recorded in the region over the last six weeks, leaving locals begging for the heavens to open. Just 4mm was recorded at the Weipa Airport in November, down on last year’s 146mm and

the monthly average of 92.4mm, while at Cooktown 25.8mm was tipped out in November, down on the average of 58.5mm. And with the Bureau of Meteorology announcing this summer to be impacted by El Niño, Cape York residents should be expecting a well-below average wet season. The last time the country was hit by El Niño, the wet season in the Cape took a huge hit. In 2015-16, just 1200mm was recorded at both Weipa and Cooktown between October and April.

Weipa’s average rainfall for that period is 2000mm, while Cooktown usually measures about 1500mm in a wet season. Weipa Town Authority chair Michael Rowland said the demand for water was soaring. Last week, the WTA asked residents to cut back on their water usage so its systems could keep up. Weipa sources its water from an underground aquifer, but it needs to be pumped and treated before it’s released into the town supply. “It happens almost every year at

this time with a huge demand for water,” Mr Rowland said. “We’re seeing above and beyond the average daily usage. “Once the rain comes, we’ll see a massive drop in usage, but we’re asking people to be sensible about their watering hours and to make sure they are not leaving sprinklers on for hours on end.” Scattered storms and showers are expected across the Cape this week, but no major rain has been forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology.

RIO Tinto has approved a new 12.4MW solar farm and 8.8MVa/2.1MWh of battery storage to provide renewable energy for the Amrun bauxite operations. The 12.4MW solar farm and battery storage are part of Rio Tinto’s global decarbonisation strategy and ongoing efforts to reduce emissions at its Pacific bauxite, alumina and aluminium operations. They are expected to reduce Amrun’s diesel electricity consumption by 37 per cent and annual CO2-equivalent emissions by 14,000 tonnes, and will add to the existing 5.6MW of solar and 4MWh of battery power built for Rio Tinto’s Weipa operations and the local electricity network since 2015. Aggreko has been contracted to build, own, and operate the solar farm to supply renewable electricity to the mine operations, in addition to its current contract to supply electricity generated from an existing diesel power station. “The construction of the Amrun solar farm and battery storage system, which is located on

Rio Tinto already has a major solar farm located in Weipa.

Wik and Wik-Waya Traditional lands, is an important milestone for Weipa Operations and will contribute to Rio Tinto’s commitment to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions,” said Shona Markham, Rio Tinto Weipa operations general manager. “The Amrun solar farm will be one of three Weipa Opera-

tions solar stations, which will together provide 18MW of solar generation capacity to our mines and the Weipa town. “This project helps us make inroads towards our ambitions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our operations.” Managing director of Aggreko Asia Pacific George Whyte

said: “Aggreko is excited to be supporting Rio Tinto on working towards meeting their decarbonisation goals and our own with this project. “This partnership aligns with our mission to accelerate the energy transition and as a world leader in the supply of clean energy infrastructure, we are confident that we will successfully deliver reliable and efficient energy for Rio Tinto’s Amrun operations.” Early works have begun on the new solar farm, which is expected to be operational by early 2025. Once completed, the Amrun solar farm will provide about 21 gigawatt hours of renewable power annually. Combined with the existing Weipa renewable power generation network, the solar farms will reduce Weipa operations’ diesel consumption by an estimated 10 million litres per year and lower its annual greenhouse gas emissions by about 28,000 tonnes – the equivalent of taking more than 6000 internal combustion engine passenger cars off the road.

Australia’s first Winter Olympics gold medalist Steven Bradbury wowed locals in Weipa on Friday night as he launched the Last Man Standing beer at the Albatross Bay Resort. Locals said they loved hearing from the one-time speed skating champion, who signed books, roller skates and roller blades and posed for dozens of pictures.

A 21-YEAR-OLD is lucky to be alive after he was attacked by a 1.8m bull shark off the coast of Cape York last week. Matthew Davitt was airlifted from Clack Island to Cooktown and then transported to Cairns Hospital on Thursday for medical treatment to puncture wounds on his right arm. He told 7NEWS he had been around sharks his whole life but “never had an issue with them.” Mr Davitt was diving for sea cucumbers at Tydeman Reef and had spotted the bull shark while diving down. However, he said the shark’s

behaviour changed in a split second and “torpedoed” into him. “Before I could even think, he’d done a somersault and smashed me on the arm ... Just going ballistic, thrashing at it,” he told 7NEWS. “He just torpedoed towards me and just latched on. “I was like trying to push him away, trying to punch him.” The helicopter was sent around 11.30am, said critical flight paramedic Valerie Hurlblatt. “He was in the water swimming next to a shark when it changed behaviour and it turned

and attacked him,” she said in Cairns. “It has bitten his right arm and he’s sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his right arm.” She said he was helped out of the water and into a tender by the others who were with him. “They’ve applied a temporary tourniquet and basic first aid, which has saved his life,” Ms Hurlblatt said. “(It) stopped the bleeding, and (they) transferred him into the main boat he was on. “He was actually in good spirits, considering – he was very grateful.”

Mr Davitt thanked his mates and the first responders. “I’ve always been around sharks me whole life, never had an issue with them,” Davitt said. “But this was just wrong place at the wrong time. “I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life.” Ms Hurlblatt praised those who administered the initial first aid, saying he was “really lucky there was a tourniquet on hand”. “That has definitely saved his life,” she said. “It stemmed the bleeding enough to get him onto the main vessel.”

POLICE last week charged a 34-year-old Aurukun man with multiple drugs and weapons offences. Officers intercepted a vehicle at Koolkan Lane and allegedly seized an unregistered rifle, several rounds of ammunition, a quantity of cannabis and cans of restricted liquor. “You can put this down to old

fashioned police work,” said Senior Sergeant Warren Flegg, the acting officer in charge at Aurukun station. “We worked with information received from the community to help us.” Police allege the rifle was unregistered and was reported missing in 2016. Officers then searched the man’s property and found a shotgun that was not secured.

The 34-year-old man was charged with two counts of each supplying dangerous drugs and secure storage of weapons, and one count each of possessing dangerous drugs, possession of unregistered firearms, lost or stolen weapons, fail to correctly store explosives and prohibition of possession of liquor in a restricted area. He is due to appear in court on January 18.

WITNESSES SOUGHT COOKTOWN police are looking for the culprits responsible for a fire in the township. Initial investigation suggests around 10.50am on Tuesday, November 28, a fire was deliberately started in a mulch pile between the cricket nets and toilet block. Anyone who was in the area and saw something suspicious should contact police.

Suicide prevention trial to focus on helping Coen THE state government will spend more than $2 million over two years to trial and evaluate a comprehensive, sustainable, and culturally responsive suicide prevention trial in Coen and three other First Nations communities in the Far North. Widely accepted as a vital component of suicide prevention, postvention is the support and help provided to bereaved families and communities after a person dies by suicide. Indigenous suicide postvention service, Thirrili Ltd, will deliver the trial in Coen using principles of self-determination, allowing communities to identify the most appropriate re-

sponses based on their specific local needs. The suicide rate among First Nations Queenslanders is twice that of non-Indigenous Queenslanders, with the intergenerational impacts of trauma, colonisation and racism are known as contributing factors. Coen was chosen for the trial after a spate of recent suicides and attempted suicides. The trial will complement other community supports currently available, including flyin/fly-out health and mental health services provided by the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service, Royal Flying Doctors Service and Apunipima.

Thirrili Ltd is also working with community leaders to give them the skills and ongoing mentoring support to be able to intervene early in distress, identify people at risk, and provide timely support to prevent suicide. The three other communities will be identified for the trial through a collaborative process that also considers the social and emotional wellbeing and suicide response needs of each community. “Woven into our approach is a holistic understanding of health and wellbeing that includes our relationship with Country, family, community, and Cultural

health. Alongside an in-depth understanding of how First Nations people connect with support services,” said Thirrili executive Marnie Weule. “In this way we bring together the cultural knowledge and expertise of First Nations people to understand and address trauma and loss, and to reduce suicide.” The trial has been backed by local leaders in Coen, as well as Cook Shire Council.

Health traineeships on offer in the Cape HIGH school students interested in pursuing a career in health will now have a direct pathway thanks to a new traineeship program. Starting next year, the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service will offer traineeships to 20 students from throughout Cape York and the Torres Strait. The traineeships will be part of the Deadly Start Program following a state government investment of $300,000, which was announced in July. Over two years the students will complete their Certificate II in Health Services Support and a Certificate III, which will include paid work experience at one of the health service’s four hospitals – in Weipa, Bamaga, Cooktown, or Thursday Island. The health service has previously offered traineeships around the region, with particular success in the oral health team on Thursday Island where all of the dental assistants are locals.

The health service also offers work experience opportunities. “We know that more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working in our hospitals directly improves health outcomes for First Nations people,” said Queensland Health Minister Shannon Fentiman. “This is an exciting opportunity for young people to have a direct pathway into a career that allows them to support their home communities.” Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service Traineeship and Work Experience Coordinator Iadakul Bowie said: “Students will complete their traineeship during Year 11 and Year 12 with the aim of offering each one a position in the health service after they graduate. “Students can then decide if they want to pursue further specialised study in nursing, medicine, allied health, or other areas, or work in other areas.”

Iadakul Bowie is the traineeship and work experience coordinator for the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service.

The Regional Arts Services Network Tropical North team in a Creating Out Loud session with Dr Kate Power (second from left).

Peer coaching groups FAR North Queensland artists and artworkers are invited to expand their networks, rethink current practices and support each other through peer coaching groups. The Regional Arts Services Network Tropical North team recently completed the Creating Out Loud Program at the University of Queensland, enabling them to facilitate their own sessions. RASN Tropical North is a partnership between Regional Development Australia Tropical North and Cook Shire Council. RDA Tropical North Chief Executive Sonja Johnson said sessions would be rolled out across the region once expressions of interest to join the Creating Out Loud Program were received. “The seven-session program will provide a valuable opportunity for creative practitioners to connect, collaborate and thrive together,” she said. Creating Out Loud is a free peer coaching guide developed by UQ’s Dr Kate Power. It originally aimed to support Queensland’s artists and art managers through the recovery and rebuilding of business, artistic and cultural practices following the COVID-19 pandemic, but has continued to be used to empower connectivity in the arts sector. “Participants can build strong and trusting relationships with others across the sector, reducing their sense of isolation and supporting one another to pursue and achieve their goals,” Dr Power said. The peer coaching approach will ensure that developments made are sustainable and ongoing by being easily accessible. “It will provide an ongoing legacy as it teaches participants the skills to further support the region’s creative community by running these sessions within their own networks,” Ms Johnson said. “The RASN Tropical North team looks forward to sharing their insights and facilitating meaningful sessions that will contribute to the growth of the Tropical North’s arts and culture sector.” Register your interest in joining the Creating Out Loud Program by emailing Tony Castle at rasnmanager@ rdatropicalnorth.org.au

Cape’s talent on display at QRAA THREE Cape York artists have performed exceptionally on the big stage, winning honours at the Queensland Regional Art Awards. This year, the QRAA invited artists to explore the concept of “Perspective”, calling artists to enter work which considers the concept of perspective in its many facets, viewpoints and nuances. The theme played on a term known in the visual arts and relevant to our modern society. The pieces that were judged showcased stimulating entries that address this broad concept through the visual arts. The QRAA is an annual visual arts prize and exhibition for established and emerging artists living in regional and remote Queenslnand. Colina Wymarra, of Seisia, was awarded the Remote Area Artist Award for her painting, Athamu Ulwung (Picinini belong me), at the QRAA gala event at the Judith Wright Art Centre in Brisbane. Wymarra said she was inspired by her great grandmother. “For centuries women have experienced niolence in many forms,” she wrote. “Wandinu was a Gudang woman from Somerset, Cape York, who experienced violence not only through unwelcome settlements, but also in the form of being raped by a white man as a 13-year-old child which resulted in the birth of a son – my grandfather. “Wandinu experienced vio-

lence in many ways – invasion of her country, invasion of her body, judgement and isolation. “Throughout all of this, Wandinu survived, but tragically died from a snake bite a few months after giving birth and my grandfather was raised by the tribe. “I have never met Wandinu, but my view of her is a hurting but strong woman of whom I am a proud descendant of.” Coen’s Naomi Hobson won the Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award for her ceramic installation, Red Kangaroo and Little River Rock Cod. And Cairns-based artist Rosella Namok, who has close ties to the Cape after growing up at Temple Bay, was highly commended in the Art for Life Award.

“Temple Bay connects Rosella’s definitive painterly designs through a poetic landscape source into sculptural form. Temple Bay is a remote coastal location north of Lockhart River where the artist grew up,” her profile read. “Rosella has vivid memories of visiting the bay during her fishing trips, viewing the mangrove coastline from the water. “Assembled on a curved base, the sculpture shows 16 vertical bronze ‘ribbons’ representing the mangrove lines, finished with three distinctive patinas. “One side is an oceanic seagreen patina, the other an earthy ochre. Both the front and rear faces are high- polished bronze, which replicate Rosella’s finger marking patterns.”

Seisia’s Colina Wymarra was inspired by her great-grandmother. Rosella Namok produced a sculpture that was inspired by her upbringing at Temple Bay, north of Lockhart River.

NEWS IN BRIEF Drought Hub open

Sea Swift workers with the crew of the FV Santiego after they were pulled from their sinking boat.

Sea Swift rescues crew from sinking trawler THE crew aboard Sea Swift’s Albatross Bay have been hailed as life-savers after rescuing crew from a sinking vessel last week while en route from Cairns to Horn Island. The Albatross Bay received an emergency call from the Joint Rescue Communications Centre (JRCC) just after 6pm that a nearby trawler vessel, the FV Santiego, was in distress and uncontactable. Following several unsuccessful attempts to contact the Santiego using VHF radio, a request was made for Sea Swift’s vessel to divert to the scene. Upon arrival, the Sea Swift crew made contact with the vessel and determined the ship was sinking and unsalvageable. The Albatross Bay’s rescue vessel was then deployed and approached the sinking vessel, with Santiego crews reporting that the main engine was underwater, the generator had failed and the batteries were flat, causing them to abandon ship. The skipper of the prawn trawler, Steve Underhill, said he found water pouring into the engine room.

BEEF producers in Cape York and the Gulf are being encouraged to partake in the TNQ Producer Group, with expressions of interest now open. Led by the Tropical North Queensland Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub (TNQ Drought Hub), the group will focus on data-driven decisionmaking, exploring its role in informing strategies, improving outcomes and enhancing business performance. TNQ Drought Hub technical adoption officer Keerah Steele said it would offer participants the opportunity for collaboration, idea exchange and the sharing of best practices. “The TNQ Producer Group will focus on enhancing data collection capabilities and work towards digital integration and innovation,” she said. “Participants will be provided with comprehensive guidance and training on how to effectively collect relevant data such as livestock analytics and mapping, ensuring that the data they gather is accurate, reliable, and appropriate for their specific business needs. “Participants will also assess the current technological capabilities of the businesses involved and identify any gaps that need to be addressed so they can successfully transition to digital solutions.” Ms Steele said the group would also be assisted in completing a business analysis and plan to identify potential risks, challenges, and opportunities for the future. For more information, or to register, visit www.tnqdroughthub.com.au

Phone ban campaign

The FV Santiego took on too much water and eventually sunk near the Bloomfield River on Tuesday night.

“It was way too deep to worry about pumping out,” he told ABC Far North “We’d already lost it.” Mr Underhill was joined on board by his wife and stepson, as well as another crew member. The Santiego crew activated an emergency distress beacon and, within 20 minutes, a Border Force plane flew over the trawler while the Albatross Bay mobilised to rescue the crew. “We got to sit on the main boat until Sea Swift came over

and picked us up and we all watched it sink,” Mr Underhill said. “Plan B was to go on to shore, set up camp and wait for the rescue there.” The Volunteer Coast Guard picked the crew up and took them to Cooktown. “I’ve fished all my life, mate – it was pretty well controlled,” Mr Underhill said. “Everyone was safe.” Mr Underhill told the ABC that the trawler was old.

“The owner had just spent a lot of money on the boat trying to get it going again for us and it was just coming together.” Sea Swift managing director Chris Pearce said he was immensely proud of the Albatross Bay crew’s ability to pivot and assist others in such an emergency. “Our team’s swift action and expertise exemplify Sea Swift’s commitment to safety and service in northern Australian waters,” he said.

A WEBSITE and social media campaign has been launched to help support families and students in the lead up to the 2024 school year when students will be required keep their mobile phones ‘away for the day’. The campaign highlights the important role parents and carers play in students’ safe and responsible use of mobile devices, both during and outside school hours. The mobile phone ban will extend to wearable devices like smartwatches, which can be worn, but must have notifications switched off, so that phone calls, messages and other notifications cannot be sent or received during school hours. This will bring consistency across the nation, with all other states and territories agreeing to restrictions on the use of mobile phones in all government schools.

Running festival to benefit from NQBP ONE of Weipa’s premier community events will be boosted through North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation’s 2023-24 community fund. The 2024 Weipa Running Festival, along with eight other community fund recipients will share $60,000 in funding, with each initiative expected to deliver tangible benefits and promote goodwill across NQBP’s port communities. Over 50 applications were received in the second year of the community fund from a large range of community groups across all NQBP’s four port communities. The NQBP team worked carefully to evaluate each application, with each of the successful applicants demonstrating an ability to make a real difference in their respective communities. All the initiatives supported have a strong alignment with NQBP’s values of excellence, unity, respect, and integrity. Selected initiatives also promote the principles of diversity and inclusion, and recognition of First Nations Peoples. Weipa Running Festival’s Rose Robbins said NQBP’s sponsorship would enable the event to go from strength to strength. “We’ve been able to purchase

is an annual sponsorship program open to non-profit groups and organisations, and registered charities. NQBP is a Queensland Government-owned corporation responsible for the ports of Hay Point, Mackay, Abbot Point, and Weipa. The NQBP Community Fund will be reopened next year.

Cape York’s culture showcased at Opera House CAPE York cultural dancers have taken centre stage at the Sydney Opera House, vying for the top spot at DanceRites, a First Nations dance competition. Coen’s ALLKUMO Malpa Paman dance team and two teams from AFL Cape York House performed alongside 24 groups from around the nation. “It’s always great being able to perform and see the different cultures from across Australia and the Torres Strait do the same,” Coen Regional Aboriginal Corporation general manager Lucretia Huen said. AFL Cape York House presented both an Aboriginal dance team and a Torres Strait Islander dance team. “The young people were extremely proud to be there, but also their families and communities over the last couple of days have

just shown so much support,” AFL Cape York Girls House boarding manager Sean Hunter said. Mr Hunter gathered over 50 members of the AFL Cape York House community to welcome the dancers when they landed in Cairns last week. “This was the first competitive event our dancers have participat-

ed in, and it was an opportunity for them to build on their confidence, engage in culture and show off their cheeky character as they performed,” he said. The Aboriginal dance team placed second overall, and the Torres Strait Islander dance team placed in the top eight. Coen’s ALLKUMO team didn’t

place, but they were extremely proud to showcase their culture regardless. “The dancers were very proud of their performance and they got to sit as spectators to watch the other performances, which they were pleased about,” Ms Huen said. She explained that the competitive aspect wasn’t important to the team because sharing culture wasn’t about winning. “There is no competition when it comes to culture, all cultural practices are unique and precious to the area they belong to. This was an opportunity for ALLKUMO to showcase Coen’s cultural uniqueness,” she said. She said the team was approached by many audience members who had never heard of Coen, highlighting the importance of performing on a national stage.

“It gives people from metropolitan areas a glimpse into how different dances and songlines are, especially if they have not been to Cape York,” she said. “The fact that we were able to perform our cultural dances at the Opera House was great in itself, not everyone can say they did that.” Both the ALLKUMO dance teams and AFL Cape York House teams travelled down and competed thanks to the support of their communities. ALLKUMO thanked its sponsors, the Cook Shire Council, Toolka Land Trust, Kalan Enterprises and Coen Regional Aboriginal Corporation. AFL Cape York House was grateful for the support from AFL Cape York Foundation, James Cook University and Cairns Airport.

Vince Harrigan is excited for the benefit of more rangers in Normanby Station.

Funding boost for ranger groups By CHISA HASEGAWA

CAPE York Traditional Owner organisations will employ 14 new Indigenous Land and Sea rangers as part of 46 positions being added across the state by the Queensland government. The investment of around $27 million annually will bring the number of rangers to more than 200, doubling the number of funded Indigenous Land and Sea ranger positions. “The Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger program is not just an in-

vestment in jobs and our environment, it’s also an investment in rebuilding Indigenous knowledge and empowering Queensland’s Traditional Owners to care for country,” said Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Leanne Linard. “After all, who better to care for Country – managing native wetlands, bushlands, coastal areas and estuaries across Queensland – than the people who have been caring for it for the past 60,000 years.” Juunjuwarra Aboriginal Corporation and Dabu Jajikal Aboriginal

Corporation will receive their first four-person ranger team. Juunjuwarra chair Mathew Neil Jacko said the ranger program will help them manage The Starcke River Catchment and Sea. “This means a lot to us - to be working on Country and caring for Land and Sea,” he said. “This opportunity fills us with pride.” They are excited to have the resources to revive culture and “stop the deterioration”. “Feral pigs and cattle, weeds, climate change, and unmanaged

visitors have all taken a toll on the area’s important biodiversity,” Mr Jacko said. “We look forward to cleaning it up and making it a great place for all to visit again.” The funding will also add rangers to existing teams. Normanby, Wuthani and Olkola Aboriginal Corporation will each receive funding for two extra rangers. Normanby Land Management Ranger Coordinator Vince Harrigan said the new positions would double the team.

“We’re going to be able to get a lot more done,” he said. “We have a Healthy Country Plan that describes our goals and vision for the future of our people on Country, and these new positions help us get a lot closer to achieving those goals.” “We have a great working relationship with the Queensland Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger program, and we appreciate that they support us to manage our homelands with a mix of cultural knowledge and western science,” he said.

An electric barrier fence protects the golden-shouldered parrot nest.

Protection of the golden-shouldered parrot is a priority of Artemis Station.

Protection of rare bird a success By CHISA HASEGAWA

THE Conservation Partners’ Artemis Nature Fund has reported a 100 per cent success rate in their recent golden-shouldered parrots (GSPs) nest protection trial. The trial involved building electric barrier fencing around active GSP nests to protect them from predators following a largely unsuccessful nesting season in 202223. The GSPs are an extremely endangered bird species found only on the Cape York Peninsula. Artemis Station was once a stronghold for the species, but the population has dwindled to about 50 birds over the past 10 years.

Chicks in their nest.

“All the evidence suggests Artemis parrots will disappear completely if we don’t act now,” Artemis Nature Fund stated.

The setup consisted of two barriers: an outer layer to stop wandering cattle and an inner layer to deliver a powerful but harmless electric shock to any nest robbers. “Every single nest where we installed electric barrier fencing throughout the 2022-23 nesting season was successful,” they stated. “The fenced nests added 23 new parrots to the Artemis population.” The GSP has many predators, such as goannas, butcherbirds, sparrowhawks, tree snakes and feral cats, and their impacts have only worsened with changes in the habitat. An increase in tree and shrub density has allowed predators to

grow in number and aided their ambush-hunting tactics. “Basically, there are now more predators that are killing parrots more effectively. Parrots simply cannot see the predators in time to escape,” they stated. The electric barrier fencing trial is one of the short-term solutions for securing and growing the population of GSPs. Artemis Nature Fund explained that though the long-term stable solution was to restore the GSP’s habitat, it would take too long. “It’s a risky strategy to rely solely on habitat restoration to reverse the decline of GSPs on Artemis. Restoring a significant amount of GSP habitat may take another five

to 10 years,” Artemis Nature Fund said. “During this time, the population may dwindle to such low numbers that recovery is impossible, so we need to secure and grow the remaining GSP population now.” Following the success of the trial, the Artemis Nature Fund aims to install electric barrier fences around all active nests found at the station. In 2024, they believe they will find 20 active nests. “Given the five eggs per nest average, we’re talking about being able to add 100 or so parrots to the population next year alone. This will be a significant outcome, not just for the Artemis population, but the species generally,” they stated.

of NPA residents invited to Victims crime pool take part in national study increased NORTHERN Peninsula Area residents are invited to take part in a nationwide study on Indigenous media usage and access. Funded by the National Indigenous Australians Agency, a team of independent researchers are visiting 20 First Nations communities across the country to conduct yarning sessions. Over the course of six months, researchers are asking questions about media type preferences and challenges surrounding access, which will then be presented to the NIAA. “We want to know more about it so that we can go back to the NIAA with a substantial report and say this is what people want in these areas, this is what they have and this is what’s missing,” Griffith University researcher Susan de Groot Heupner said. “The main aim of the research is to push for funding to be directed in the areas where people want it.” Participants will engage in an unstructured but guided discussion on what they use to access media, whether they rely on traditional forms of media or are moving towards newer forms, and what issues they come across when accessing media. “For example, if they’re relying on their phone for all of their me-

dia consumption, what is the state of internet in certain areas?” Ms de Groot Heupner said. She said taking an Indigenous methodology approach was crucial in understanding what communities need. A nationwide survey has also been rolled out, but findings from the yarning session will add much needed information that the survey can’t provide.

“It doesn’t really tell you, especially in remote and regional areas, what Indigenous media or any kind of media means to Indigenous people, hence why we are going out into the field and talking to people,” she said. Ms de Groot Heupner encouraged any residents interested in participating to register by texting 0403 672 414.

“If people are not able to come at the set time, we can also have one-on-one conversations because for us, it’s more important that people get their say,” she said. The session will be held on Tuesday, December 12 from 3pm to 5pm at the New Mapoon Hall. There will be a light dinner and participants will receive a $20 IBIS voucher for their time.

THE state government has passed a new bill which means all victims will be able to access greater financial assistance. The government has allocated more than $200 million over the next five years to boost victim support services – which have experienced increased demand for support from victims and their families – and financial assistance to victims of crime. Additional Victim Assist Queensland staff will help speed up the assessment of applications. As well as the funding to support the amendments passed today, the Queensland government has allocated $18 million to establish the recently announced Victims’ Commissioner office. Of this, $6 million will be for non-government organisations that support victims. The government is also committed to ensuring greater representation of victims of crime on the Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council (QSAC). This Bill will expand QSAC to include a member with lived experience as a victim of crime. This will ensure the views of victims are represented in its important deliberations about sentencing.
