Cook Shire announces funding support RESIDENTS of flood-impacted Ayton, Bloomfield, Helenvale and Rossville will be able to access financial assistance designed to bolster community resilience following a non-competitive $50,000 funding announcement by Cook Shire Council.

With more than 140 residences within the Cook Shire local government area inundated by floodwater in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Jasper, the council said on 1 February, 2024 that it was taking “decisive steps” to mitigate future natural disasters.

Mayor Peter Scott highlighted the myriad challenges faced during the aftermath, including emergency and telecommunications infrastructure, a lack of coordination on the

ground locally for communities, and the need for collaboration.

“With roads blocked and power and telecommunications systems out, one of the biggest challenges was being able to contact, connect with, and support our communities when they needed us most,” he said.

“These critical funds will go towards building resilience within the identified communities based on feedback received.”

When Cook Shire teams were able to access communities to provide on-the-ground support following the flooding, three key areas were identified that the $50,000 funding allocation will specifically target.

To help empower local communities,

funding for emergency and telecommunications infrastructure, including generators, satellite communications, emergency first aid equipment, and other resilience-enhancing items will be eligible for funding.

Mayor Scott said employing and training staff located in communities during significant events would also improve communication and coordination with the Local Disaster Coordination Centre.

Additional funding will be allocated towards enhancing disaster resilience in other communities once local workshops have been conducted.

For more information about accessing the funding, call Cook Shire on 4082 0500.

Ambulance stations opt for Starlink as back-up

By CHISA HASEGAWA

QUEENSLAND Ambulance Service will soon install another back-up connection system at its stations in Bamaga and Thursday Island to ensure operators can connect to paramedics when there is an outage.

Starlink, which will be fixed at the two stations, goes by satellite technology and can be used when there is no cellular service.

QAS Acting Commissioner for the Far Northern Region Brina Keating said the Bamaga and Thursday Island stations used the Telstra cellular network, which would stay.

“Starlink isn’t our primary use,” she said.

“It’s just an additional way to make sure that we’re connected and that every way we contact our officers and paramedics is reliable.”

Acting Commissioner Keating said there were no immediate plans to install the technology anywhere else on Cape York, like the Coen and Weipa QAS bases, but they will assess how useful the technology is.

The decision comes less than a fortnight after most of Cape York lost Telstra service for about 40 hours, during which time many residents were unable to call triple zero.

Queensland Ambulance Service is trialling a Starlink back-up in some communities to help bolster connectivity.

“They’re our priority areas at the moment, because of the information we’ve had up to this point, but we’re just going to assess it and see how we go,” Acting Commissioner Keating said.

“This is relatively new technology, so we like to try all these things and see how they go first, and make sure it lives up to our expectations, so that’s why we’ve only rolled it out in a few areas.”

She assured the community that Starlink was simply another back-up, and that paramedics also had another satellite option called Push to Talk.

“If we didn’t have Starlink,

the paramedics would still respond to the case,” Acting Commissioner Keating said.

“It’s really important for people in the Torres and Cape to know that we can access and talk to our paramedics, even when there is an outage.

“I understand that communities are quite concerned about not having connectivity all the time, but from an emergency services point of view, we are well connected, and we have redundant technologies to make sure we are still able to respond when there is outages.”

There are also emergency phones at the front of ambu-

lance stations in Bamaga, Coen, Cooktown, Thursday Island and Weipa.

For when there is cellular service, she also advised residents to download the Emergency Plus app.

“It’s a free app that tells you exactly where you are if you needed to call triple zero but didn’t know where you are,” Acting Commissioner Keating said.

“Particularly in the Torres and Cape with long stretches of road, it can be really helpful, and can actually give you the latitude and longitude and also the street address.”

Police charge man with murder after 11 years

WEIPA

Inquest adjourned as a result of arrest

THE coronial inquest tasked with looking into the 2013 disappearance of 23-year-old Ms Bernard and the competency of the subsequent police investigation will not reconvene next month following a murder charge being laid against the last person to see her.

The inquest, which began in Cairns in 2022, was scheduled to resume in Brisbane before Coroner Nerida Wilson on 19-23 February.

However, a spokesperson for the Coroners Court of Queensland confirmed to Cape York Weekly that the process would be removed from the calendar until the court

proceedings against Archer River quarry caretaker Thomas Maxwell Byrnes had concluded.

On 31 January, 2024, police charged the 62-year-old Coen man with one count of murder relating to the Kowanyama mother’s disappearance nearly 11 years earlier.

“The coronial investigation and inquest has ceased until the conclusion of the police investigation and all court processes,” the spokesperson said.

“As required by the Coroners Act, the inquest previously scheduled to recommence 19 February, 2024 will now be del-

isted and adjourned to a date to be fixed.”

In a statement released following Mr Byrnes’ arrest, Ms Bernard’s family said they believed the inquest had played a vital role in putting pressure back on police to increase their investigative efforts.

“The pressure from our lawyer and then the coroner has ensured the police did their job, and to go back and follow up their failed investigation in 2013,” the statement reads.

Police have been criticised for their handling of the disappearance, and one of the focuses of the inquest is “the adequacy of the police investigation”.

lice ... and tell us anything you may know.”

Police have faced intense criticism from Ms Bernard’s family and friends about how the investigation has been handled since she disappeared, with the inquest tasked with delivering a finding on a number of key points, including the adequacy of police efforts.

In a statement released through lawyer Debbie Kilroy on the morning of the court appearance, Ms Bernard’s family blasted the police investigation.

“When we reported our loved one missing to the police in 2013, they believed the man who is now charged with her murder, and who told police that she ran off in the middle of the night for no reason,” it read.

“The police never suspected his involvement in her death

During the hearing, no pleas were entered, nor applications for bail made on his behalf, with Magistrate Terence Brown ordering Mr Byrnes’ defence lawyer be presented with a brief of evidence by 27 March.

Following the hearing, Detective Acting Superintendent Mick Searle told media police acknowledged there had been “challenges and shortcomings through the initial investigation”, and would not outline the specific allegations in relation to the murder charge as it was before the court.

“We recognise that [Ms Bernard’s] disappearance has had a devastating impact on her family and on her community,” Acting Superintendent Searle said.

“We have not located Ms Bernard, and are still urging anyone with information to contact po-

and in the disposal of her body, which has never been found.

“Our women do not go missing and they don’t run off into the dark for no reason.”

Mr Byrnes told the inquest in 2022 that Ms Bernard was only wearing a towel when she ran into bushland in the vicinity of the quarry on the night she disappeared.

The family urged Mr Byrnes to disclose the location of the body of their “granddaughter, daughter, mother, sister, niece, aunty and cousin” and provided information that told of a woman who loved life, her country, her culture and her children.

“We are grieving and we want her returned home,” the family said in the statement.

“This man must tell us where she is, so we can bring her home to her traditional homeland, so she can be buried alongside her loved ones.

“Many do not know that Ms Bernard is a Kowanyama woman who lived all her life in her community where the Mitchell River flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria.

“Ms Bernard was a cheeky little girl who grew into a quiet, proud and loving mother.

“She loved to dance and to swim in the freshwater on her country.”

Mr Byrnes will appear in court again on 19 April, 2024.

THE family of missing Kowanyama woman Ms Bernard have slammed police for a “failed investigation” as the man charged with her murder faced a Cairns court for the first time on Wednesday morning.

Ms Bernard, a 23-year-old mother of two, disappeared almost 11 years ago after last being seen at the Archer River quarry about 11pm on February 10, 2013.

She had been seen at the Exchange Hotel in Coen earlier that evening and was expected to travel to Kowanyama, but never arrived.

A large-scale search of the area was undertaken at the time of Ms Bernard’s disappearance, and a 2022 Cairns coronial inquest was told that the last person to see her alive was quarry caretaker Thomas Maxwell Byrnes, who denied any involvement.

On 31 January, police announced a 62-year-old Coen man, who had been assisting with their inquiries in relation to the “suspicious disappearance”, had been charged with one count of murder.

Thomas Maxwell Byrnes appeared in Cairns Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning via videolink from the watchhouse in Weipa.

must Connection to culture has PDR be sealed, positive impact on youth says RDA

By LYNDON KEANE

THE only thing more eye-catching than the vivid colours of PCYC Napranum’s new club mural are the proud, beaming smiles of the youth leaders who helped create it.

While the artwork is the most visible sign of the success of PCYC Napranum’s Club and Culture program, it’s how participants are being moulded as emerging leaders that is being celebrated most by the community.

For the past six months, the program – which includes sport, fishing, art, storytelling and dancing – has been attracting more and more youth wanting to learn about their culture as they develop the skills needed to one day lead Napranum.

Club manager Sergeant Rhonda Spence said many children in the community were starting their day at PCYC Napranum’s breakfast club before returning to participate in program activities at the end of the school day.

“It’s where they can come, have fun and be safe when they enjoy each other’s company,” she told Cape York Weekly.

“PCYC Napranum offers exposure, creativity and learning through the delivery of activities under our Club and Culture program.

“The kids here just want to learn about where they come from, their clans and those things, and we try to incorporate that into the programs.”

The mural will take pride of place in the new activity and cultural hub room at the club, and was a collaborative effort between the Napranum Youth Boys, Napranum

Page 4 – Cape York Weekly – Tuesday, February 6, 2024

Youth Girls, PCYC Napranum staff and members of the community.

Sergeant Spence praised the unified approach to creating the artwork, and acknowledged the efforts of Youth Leadership Team members Cherylyn Mene-Dick and Benson Kris, both 16.

“Cherylyn and Benson played a

huge part in the design and painting of our club mural with support by community member Marsha Hall,” Sergeant Spence explained.

Cherylyn said she believed the combination of fun activities and leadership opportunities was what made the Club and Culture program such a hit.

“I get to learn and do amazing things like painting, which is telling a story with art, and crafts,” she said.

“I also get to help our younger people have fun.”

Sergeant Spence said the program’s theme for 2024 was empowering youth to give back to their peers and their community.

“We want to bring these kids up to be emerging leaders in their community, so our motto for this year is giving back,” she said.

“The sport is really good, but we are teaching them that it’s important to give back, so they’ll be going out into the community and being youth leaders for our younger kids.”

Benson praised the program and said he was excited about being recognised as a youth leader in Napranum.

“We are learning about giving back to our community, and I am looking forward to showing everyone what we can do,” he said.

THE long-held dream of sealing the Peninsula Developmental Road to Weipa has been identified as a priority of Regional Development Australia Tropical North following the release of the organisation’s five-year strategic plan The 2024-2029 plan was developed in collaboration with the Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils and the Torres Cape Indigenous Councils Alliance and sets the agenda for the region’s future.

While the plan also flags advocacy for an 18th Cairns-based team in the NRL, it is the sealing of the PDR that will catch the attention of many Cape York residents and business owners.

“The strategy identifies key priority development areas and infrastructure projects canvasing land-use perspectives, emerging growth industries and considerations for population growth and liveability to inform government investment decisions,” RDA Tropical North Chair Professor Hurriyet Babacan said at the document’s launch in Cairns.

A new economic development precinct in Lakeland was also mentioned in the strategic plan.

Mandate clear on World Heritage

By LYNDON KEANE

TRADITIONAL Owners are calling on the State and Federal Governments to show their hand amid concerns a proposed World Heritage listing for parts of Cape York will limit economic and social growth in remote communities.

The joint plan was revealed earlier this year, with the Queensland Government currently undertaking cultural heritage studies to determine the makeup of the tentative World Heritage list.

Once the list is approved by Federal Minister for Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek, it will be submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre for assessment.

While a World Heritage listing can take years to formalise, some Traditional Owners said they were concerned the Cape York World Heritage Taskforce was taking a “cloak and dagger” approach to groundwork for the tentative listing in a bid to rush it through.

One eastern Cape York Traditional Owner, who spoke to Cape York Weekly on the condition of anonymity, said there was a lack of transparency and communication about the current process, despite government assertions Traditional Owners would be afforded “free, prior and informed consent” about the process.

“They’ve been saying this’ll all be above board, but none of us

Traditional Owners in Cape York say the region is already well protected by those with a close connection to Country.

know what’s going on,” they explained.

“The [Cape York] Land Council’s (CYLC) working with them, but there’s more questions than information at the moment.

“We’ve been looking after our land a lot longer than there’s been [World Heritage] listing, so why do we need another set of rules telling us how to look after the land we know best?”

The CYLC has been engaged by the Queensland Government to provide legal and anthropological support to Traditional Owners as part of the current process.

Aboriginal affairs activist Jack Wilkie-Jans, who is originally from Mapoon, echoed concerns about the scope and transparency

of consultation with Traditional Owner groups across Cape York.

“There have allegedly been several consultations [in late 2023] but I don’t believe that it’s transparent at all, especially because the approach the government is taking doesn’t include transparency on the limitations it will cause,” he explained.

“Should World Heritage listing go ahead, large parts of Cape York will be under the control of an international body. The mandate’s been clear to government that we don’t want World Heritage listing on Cape York.”

There is speculation the plan will focus on existing national parks on Cape York first, before potentially identifying other sites

for nomination, however, neither the State nor Federal Government would clarify which locations were on the radar.

Cape York Weekly put a number of questions to the State and Federal Governments about the World Heritage push, including whether it was hypocritical to seek World Heritage listing for parcels of land that have the potential to be adjacent to existing or emerging mining operations across Cape York.

Queensland Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef Leanne Linard said “a map is not yet available” for which areas would likely make it to the tentative list.

“The Miles and Albanese Governments are committed to World

Heritage listing for Cape York. An application for listing will only proceed with the free, prior and informed consent of interested Traditional Owners.

“It is disappointing that some people are seeking to undermine the process.

“The Traditional Owners I engaged with personally on country last year were appreciative of the Government’s support.”

Commenting on behalf of Minister Plibersek, a spokesperson for the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water said “the Cape York Land Council and Queensland Government are leading consultations with Traditional Owner groups about a potential tentative list submission for Cape York”.

The Traditional Owner who spoke to Cape York Weekly said they were yet to be convinced about the sincerity of the World Heritage plan, and that they believed it getting the green light would lead to overly prescriptive restrictions for communities.

“Me and my family are scared this will mean our communities can’t grow with more people and houses, and people wanting to start a business,” they said.

“Cape York’s already protected by the Traditional Owners. We don’t need more people telling us how to protect our country.”

Big changes ahead for Weipa as three leaders step down

By LYNDON KEANE

Mayor Keri Tamwoy.

WEIPA Town Authority chair Michael Rowland does not miss a beat in response to the question of whether he will be stepping down following next month’s Queensland local government elections.

“That’s absolutely, one hundred per cent correct,” he laughs.

In case there was any lingering doubt, the four-term elected representative adds that his assertion is “unequivocal”.

“After 16 years, it’s time for new blood, new vision and new enthusiasm,” Mr Rowland said.

The WTA is set for a major leadership shift on 16 March, 2024, with Mr Rowland not being the only member set to step away from the local government spotlight.

Cape York Weekly understands that, of the four elected members in the seven-person leadership group, only Jamie Gane will be seeking re-election, leaving three spots vacated by Mr Rowland, Deputy Chair Stretch Noonan and Dave Donald.

Mr Rowland described the timing of the shift at the top of the WTA organisational structure “a bit like a changing of the guard”, and urged Weipa residents to consider nominating as a candidate to lead the township through the next four years of its evolution.

“It’s interesting times for Weipa,” he admitted as he reflected on nearly two decades of service.

“We only need four [candidates for the elected positions] but it would be good if we could have five, six or seven put their hand up.”

With debate about the normalisation of Weipa from its current Rio Tinto-controlled format to a conventional local government likely to remain the elephant in the room over the next four years, Mr Rowland said he believed the

Cape York leaders to seek re-election

community needed an injection of youth in its leadership.

“We need fresh, young vision to start stepping up and having a go,” he said.

The outgoing chair also took aim at WTA critics who continued to fire shots from the safety of their lounge rooms.

“It’s one thing to be one of these keyboard warriors to actually

nominating [as an elected member],” he told Cape York Weekly.

“It’s very different when you put your hand up and make the commitment to deliver.”

In addition to the four elected members who are voted in, two WTA members are appointed by Rio Tinto, with the seventh member appointed by the Alngith Traditional Owners.

TWO of Cape York’s highestprofile mayors say unfinished business is driving them to chase another four years in their respective council’s top job.

With nominations for the Queensland local government elections opening last week, Aurukun Mayor Keri Tamwoy and Lockhart River Mayor Wayne Butcher have both confirmed they will run as mayoral candidates when voters go to the polls on 16 March.

Both mayors have been fierce advocates for their communities, with Mayor Tamwoy telling Cape York Weekly she believed another term in office would allow some big-ticket projects to come to fruition in Aurukun.

“I do intend to nominate again, and hope to be reelected, as I would need another term to implement some things that council have been unable to, as four years is not enough time to actually make things happen,” she explained.

In confirming her candidacy, Mayor Tamwoy admitted the past four years at the head of the table in the council chamber had taken its toll.

“I have given much thought to this very heavy topic, as it has been a very difficult term for me as mayor, both personally and professionally,” she said.

“I must say it has been one of the best experiences I have had being a mayor, and it has given me a deep appreciation for the role.”

Mayor Butcher said, if reelected, his fourth term would be his last, adding that building sustainability, capability and capacity for the organisation were at the top of his to-do list.

“I’m definitely nominating and running one more time for the mayor’s position, as this will be my last if elected, as we have to finalise some big community projects,” he said. “[The Lockhart River] community has been supporting sustainable and stable governance for the past three election cycles, which has given the community and council sustainable growth.”

Mayor Butcher said he was proud of how his leadership to date had allowed the council to attract key investment in major community infrastructure, including housing, water and sewerage treatment facilities, and social and recreational infrastructure.

Several of Cape York’s other council leaders approached about their candidacy did not respond to Cape York Weekly.

It is understood Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council Mayor Robbie Sands, who is also chair of the Torres and Cape Indigenous Council Alliance, will be seeking election for a second term. Mapoon Mayor Aileen Addo is expected to retire.

Candidates have until midday on 13 February, 2024 to submit their nomination.

Lion’s Den back on track, says publican THE publican of the Lion’s Den Hotel says the Australia Day festivities have given her and the staff and volunteers a big morale boost, with still lots more work to do in the clean-up process.

“It was a really beautiful day. It was really good to see all the locals and regulars come back,” grateful pub owner Judy Fry said.

“There are people that have been coming to the Lion’s Den longer than I’ve been here, so I think it was personal for those people.”

The publican said volunteers had a tough time cleaning the place before they welcomed back patrons on 26 January.

“It’s hard, because you clean one room and the dirt just goes to another room. No matter what you touch, even though you’ve just cleaned it, everything still produced mud,” Ms Fry said.

“There was a couple of ladies who came and helped us out, and the sweat was pouring off them, but they just kept at it.”

Lost in the flood was a historic pianola – a self-playing piano – which had been a part of the Lion’s Den since it’s inception.

“It would have been here since day one, but it was just completely ruined. It was really old, so it was pretty battered before, but

it just couldn’t be saved which was upsetting,” Ms Fry said.

She said there was still a long way to go with the clean-up, but that spirits remained high and progress was being made.

“We’re hoping to be fully open for Easter and the start of dry season, which is still two months away and everything is coming into shape,” she said.

“We’ve got a lot of things organised, it’s just about putting them in place.

“It’s also such an old pub so we want to redo all the electric wiring as well.”

Strong results for turtle protection on Cape York

By CHISA HASEGAWA

MORE than 5000 turtle nests were monitored along the western Cape York Peninsula during the 2023 season, with only 1112 per cent of them damaged by predators.

This result highlighted the positive impact the Western Cape Turtle Threat Abatement Alliance (WCTTAA) has had over the past 10 years in reducing nest predation from over 90 per cent, to as low as 10 per cent for various turtle species.

At a forum held in Cairns on 30 January, 36 attendees celebrated the 2023 result, discussed key issues and prepared for the 2024 turtle season.

WCTTAA coordinator Dr Manuela Fischer said 2023 was a good year for the turtles.

“Apart from keeping turtle nest predation to a sustainable number of under 30 per cent, and on some beaches under 10 per cent, we set up a new data collection system, NESTOR, to improve the accuracy of nest monitoring and resolved the problem of losing data,” she said.

“We also trialled a method of checking and reducing nest temperature, which because of climate change, has been increasing.

“From the preliminary findings, we are seeing amazing re-

NEWS IN BRIEF Housing help for youth AT-RISK youth leaving their Cape York home to pursue a job or education in Cairns will soon have an additional option for a safe roof over their head after the Queensland government announced the development of a youth foyer in the city.

The facility is one of eight being built across the state and provides safe housing options for young people aged between 16 and 25 years old while they pursue education, a job and eventually their own home.

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Planning Meaghan Scanlon said the youth foyers would deliver more than just a physical building for residents.

“It’s hard to do well at school or uni, hold down a job and plot out your future when you don’t have a safe place to stay,” she said.

“Youth foyers aren’t just a bed to sleep in, it’s a place that provides wraparound support to study, get a good job, their own place and eventually home ownership.”

The government has previously built youth foyers on the Gold Coast and in Logan, with another 40-bed facility in Townsville near completion.

Tourism dollars get tropical

A successful year for WCTTAA in protecting a significant number of turtle nests.

sults, so we will be conducting the official study this year on a broader scale.”

Dr Fischer announced WCTTAA had secured funding for the next two years, and there was more to come to protect turtle nests in 2024.

“We have a really busy year ahead,” she said.

“Funding from the State and Federal Governments, under the Nest to Ocean Program, is now locked in for another two years which is excellent news.”

To protect the nests, rangers use purpose-built, rust-proof

cages, which are installed over them to prevent feral animals from attacking the eggs.

The funding will assist in a new welding course organised for the rangers, so they can build their own cages in the future.

“This is a really important development for the Alliance members,” Dr Fischer explained.

“These cages are pivotal in protecting nests and hatchlings from predators, which dig up the eggs.

“Building them on Country will upskill the ranger capac-

ity and save time and money.”

The rangers also remove marine debris, monitor the beaches and carry out pre-season culling of feral animals, which the funding will also go towards. “[It] will help with feral pig culling before the nesting season begins, which unfortunately didn’t happen in some areas last year,” Dr Fischer said.

“It will also help fund an upgrade of equipment for the ranger camps, so they can effectively manage the seven census beaches, covering 150 kilometres of coastline.”

RESIDENTS of local government areas on Cape York are being encouraged to explore their own backyard by getting their hands on “Tropical Dollars” designed to assist the Tropical Cyclone Jasper recovery.

On 1 February, a $450,000 joint federal and state initiative was announced that offers those living in Far North Queensland, including Cape York, $100 off a tourism experience in the Cairns and Great Barrier Reef regions when they spend $200 or more.

Minister for Tourism and Sport Michael Healy said it was hoped the promotion would allow the region’s tourism sector to get back on its feet following the natural disasters experienced in December 2023. “[It] will contribute to the recovery of our local tourism industry, building back the strength of this wonderful community,” he said.

Second fibre link needed: Entsch

By LYNDON KEANE

WHILE the confusion surrounding who was to blame for the Telstra outage that left many Cape York residents unable to use their phones for 40 hours continues, one Far North politician says the longterm solution is more fibre.

Telstra and its contractors have remained silent about the ongoing reliability crisis since Cape York Weekly broke the news the telecommunications giant had been caught in a lie about the cause of the mid-January outage.

After the story broke, Telstra hit back and claimed it had been “upfront and factual throughout and strongly refute your claims of dishonesty”.

But Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch agreed that there were too many inconsistencies in Telstra’s account, adding he had been informed there was a chance the root causes of the problem were cost cutting and contractors engaging subcontractors.

“Clearly there was some false information, or, if it wasn’t false, it was certainly misleading,” Mr Entsch told Cape York Weekly.

“What they’re telling me, the contractors are telling me, is that Telstra basically then screwed them down on price [and] they then went to this other mob and got them down on price, and they [the subcontractor] are substandard in the delivering of the service.

“There’s been a scramble, I understand, with this second-tier or third-tier contractor racing around to try and fuel up all of these sites now, because they haven’t done it prior to the wet.”

The cause of the 19-21 January, 2024 outage was found to be the generator at Telstra’s Coen tower running out of fuel.

Residents, business leaders and elected representatives from across Cape York have been scathing of Telstra’s service delivery since the most recent outage, but Mr Entsch said nothing would change until there was a redundancy in place for the far northern telecommunications network.

“The fact that we have one single link through to the Torres Strait is something that we’ve known for a long time, and that’s not adequate,” he said.

“What I have asked Telstra reps

to do … is to come through with a proposal to give us the alternative link.

“You’ve now got fibre into Normanton … so what do I need to go for to get fibre from Normanton up to the western cape, to Weipa or somewhere like that?”

The latest outage came just days before the Federal Government announced the launch of its triennial Regional Telecommunications Review, which is tasked with examining the existing and future telecommunication needs of regional and remote Australia.

Mr Entsch denied the lack of prioritisation was due to the fact there was only one federal vote covering the entirety of Cape York.

“It’s about serving population,” he said.

“You’ve got to be practical when you’re looking at this, but it doesn’t mean to say that we can’t continue to upgrade.

“They key is now to get a second fibre cable, and it’s got to be linked right up to the Torres Strait.

“If you get one that’s coming up from the south and it fails, you can immediately switch over to [the Normanton connection].”

Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch wants Cape York’s telecommunications to have more security so phone outages are less common in the region.

Resilient Wujal Wujal learners given top marks

PCYC Cooktown’s Sergeant Mira Al-Tamimi and Wujal Wujal students make the most of the temporary classroom.

STUDENTS from the displaced community of Wujal Wujal have received top marks for resilience after commencing term one in a makeshift classroom in Cooktown.

The students, who normally attend Bloomfield River State School, were unable to return to their regular classrooms following the devastation caused by Tropical Cyclone Jasper and unprecedented flooding.

PCYC Cooktown opened its doors as a temporary school for the budding learners, and is now the classroom for 14 children between prep and year 6.

The children are following the standard school curriculum and have several teachers delivering the program.

Sergeant Mira Al-Tamimi said the team had stepped up to create a supportive environment to begin the school year.

“It’s a little more relaxed, of course, but the kids are still taught the same thing as their peers in established schools,” Sergeant AlTamimi explained.

“We expect the kids will be with us for at least another month, if not longer.”

Sergeant Al-Tamimi said the students had “demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of a tumultuous start to the year”, referring to the evacuation of about 300 Wujal Wujal residents in December 2023.

“The children and their families are currently in temporary accommodation in Cooktown and surrounds after their homes were destroyed by floodwaters,” Sergeant Al-Tamimi said.

“Amidst all the uncertainties these families are facing, one thing is certain – they are in the most caring and capable hands.”

Dogs to get hip for the snip in February YOUR four-legged mate may not immediately think so, but Cook Shire Council is telling the community “it’s hip to snip” as it provides free desexing for male dogs from 26-28 February.

Extending on the success of last year’s desexing program for female dogs, the council’s animal management team is this time offering the service for male dogs by promoting that it is cool – and responsible – to get your dog snipped.

Animal management was a key concern identified in the council’s 2023 Community Scorecard Survey, and the current initiative aims to prevent unwanted litters by promoting responsible pet ownership, and reducing

the reliance on traditional costly strategies such as collecting, holding, rehoming and, in extreme cases, euthanising pets.

Mayor Peter Scott urged residents to be responsible dog owners and make the most of the initiative, given there is no permanent veterinary presence in Cooktown.

“With no vet in Cooktown, we acknowledge that the cost of travel combined with vet fees often poses significant financial barriers for pet owners on low incomes”, he said.

“We’ve identified that by helping these pet owners, we are helping make our community safer for all our residents, including our four-legged friends.”

Mayor Scott also emphasised the importance of desexing as not only a cost-saving measure, but also in managing the animals at home and in the community.

Visiting Mareeba vet Dr Justin Little of Central Veterinary Surgery will be performing the procedures as part of the “it’s hip to snip” initiative.

Some conditions do apply to the initiative, with places strictly limited.

Only male dogs are eligible for free desexing, and they must be microchipped and registered with the council, with owners needing to be Cook Shire residents with a healthcare or pensioner concession card.

NEWS IN BRIEF Board role for Wymarra AUSTRALIA’S peak social work body now has Torres Strait Islander representation following the appointment of Muriel Wymarra to a directorship on its board.

The Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) announced last week Ms Wymarra would take a seat on the board after a career that has already included challenging departmental policies in remote Aboriginal communities, and providing counselling support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

“This is an exciting opportunity for a Torres Strait Islander social work practitioner to represent and amplify the rich diversity of Australia’s culture,” Ms Wymarra said.

AASW president Linda Ford welcomed the appointment as a “significant milestone for the AASW board”.

“Her wealth of experience and dedication to advocating for the Torres Strait Islander community aligns seamlessly with our inclusivity and cultural integrity mission,” Ms Ford said.

New JPs sworn in at Coen

By CHISA HASEGAWA

COEN now has access to four new Justices of the Peace (JPs), bringing the total number of volunteers qualified to certify legal documents to six.

The new JPs, who are staff at Coen Regional Aboriginal Corporation (CRAC), underwent a week-long intensive training program to take on responsibilities such as signing documents that require a qualified witness, and hearing certain types of court matters.

At CRAC, community members can now receive more timely assistance with documents

such as wills, affidavits, statutory declarations and identification.

New JP and CRAC staff member Leisha Murgha said there was a high demand for JPs in Coen.

“There’s a big need for it in community, especially for identification reasons,” she said.

“Everyone is part of all sorts of different families and CRAC is like a one-stop shop where they come to get that kind of thing sorted out.

“I think being responsible for looking over legal documents, it’s also important to have a variety of JPs.”

The four new JPs are still waiting for their stamps and numbers before starting their work, but Ms Murgha said she believed their addition would prove beneficial to the community, with the local JP ranks swelling to six.

“It’ll help us to be more accessible and quick in getting to the documents,” she said.

“If one’s not available, there will be another one there.

“Especially because one [experienced JP] is retired, and kind of likes to be left alone.”

The staff completed modules and criminal history checks in order to be sworn in.

“It was a bit difficult and pretty full on,” Ms Murgha told Cape York Weekly.

“We had a representative come up to train us on the ground from 8:30am to 4:30pm every day for a week, so there were definitely some long days.”

She said she was excited to continue serving and supporting the Coen community alongside her co-workers with their new qualifications.

“I’m proud of myself,” she said.

“It’s an accomplishment for me to have completed something that is also handy for the members of my community.”

BACKPACKERS will have an opportunity to extend their stay in Australia and assist community recovery efforts after the federal government announced changes to the Working Holiday Maker (WHM) visa program on 2 February.

Under previous arrangements, people who held a WHM and worked or volunteered in areas affected by floods and bushfires were eligible to apply for a second or third WHM visa.

The changes mean that work now will extend beyond flood and bushfire recovery to other forms of natural disasters, such as cyclones or storm surges.

Minister for Emergency Management Murray Watt said the amendment to the program would also allow backpackers to feel closer to their local community.

“When it comes to recovering from natural disasters, it’s always all hands on deck to assist in the cleanup and rebuild.

So, making it easier for working holiday makers to help out in the aftermath of these events is going to be a great help for local communities, particularly those who have recently experienced cyclones or floods,” he said.

Cairns-based Senator Nita Green said the new arrangement “will mean so much for tourism towns like Cairns, who when faced with natural disasters, can often lose that pull for backpackers to come and work here”.

A FAIR SHARE FOR REGIONAL NEWS Regional Australian communities deserve local news as much as our big cities do.

Local independent newspapers still connect more than 80% of the country, but currently the commonwealth government invests close to 0% of its advertising budget here.

The federal government could help secure the future of regional news with zero extra cost by simply allocating a fairer share of government advertising to local and regional news services.

One page per week of important government information in regional newspapers would be a great start. This shouldn’t be controversial.

It’s a simple and fair solution for the future of regional news.

It’s Groundhog Day for Cape York

By LYNDON KEANE

MIDNIGHT Oil lead singer and former federal environment and heritage minister Peter Garrett must feel like he is stuck in a Cape York-themed reboot of Groundhog Day, that Bill Murray classic in which the protagonist finds himself repeating the same day with no end to the madness in sight.

In late 2023, Garrett was trotted out as the poster boy in the hunt to secure Traditional Owner consent for the joint State and Federal Government push to list parts of Cape York as sites of outstanding universal value through the UNESCO World Heritage Centre.

It should have felt like familiar ground for Garrett, because he was beating exactly the same path in 2010 when he was still in Parliament and the last concerted attempt to get Cape York on the World Heritage list was made.

Don’t get me wrong: Garrett is inarguably a passionate environmental and Indigenous affairs activist, and his political life and work with the Oils, one of our truly cracking homegrown rock bands, is testament to this.

The problem – as it was back in 2010 – is that Garrett, or at least his political masters, seem to have made a fundamental mistake in ignoring the prevailing sentiment that many Traditional Owners do not want Cape York to make its way to UNESCO’s honour roll.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Why? Because there are genuine concerns about the process for green lighting the locations that make it onto the Queensland Government’s tentative list, which will then be endorsed by the Federal Minister for the Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek.

Once it has been approved in Canberra, the list will then make its way into the red tape-lined halls of the Paris-based gatekeepers of everything World Heritage, some 14,500 kilometres from Cape York.

From start to finish, the process can take years, but several Traditional Owners have already flagged apprehension about the transparency of the initial fact finding, and why there seems to be a rush to get the tentative list completed.

The joint effort has been singing off the same song sheet that the process will be dead in the water if Traditional Owners do not provide “free, prior and informed” consent to which sites end up going under the UNESCO microscope.

The hurdle seems to be that the majority of Traditional Owners – as well as media outlets – are being kept in the dark about which locations across the 137,000 square kilometres that make up Cape York are being seriously considered.

One eastern Cape York Tra-

There are concerns World Heritage listing areas of Cape York will have a detrimental impact on future economic development and growth opportunities for remote communities.

ditional Owner this publication spoke to said they were worried World Heritage status would create an additional level of bureaucracy to land management, and stimy the potential of communities to grow, move or explore business opportunities.

It is a valid reason for disquiet, as is the extra level of reporting that comes into play as soon as World Heritage listing is granted – at two-, three- and six-year intervals, depending on which statutory entity the report is going to.

You would be hard pressed to find someone who does not think the stunning landscape of Cape

York needs to be protected, but it is political arrogance to assume that protection can be better afforded through supplementary paper pushing than by the Traditional Owners who have been looking after it for tens of thousands of years.

As for the apparent rush to compile the tentative list, the political cynics out there could be forgiven for thinking the process was anything more than an attempt to sure up a few green votes with a state election scheduled for October this year, and federal polling booths to appear everywhere by mid-2025.

It remains to be seen whether this new push by Labor will be a

Groundhog Day of 2010, but you have to question how seriously it is taking the process, given rolling out an ageing rocker as a quasi political frontman – irrespective of how much of a passion project it is for them – has rarely delivered success with stakeholders and the voting public.

Cape York, and the Traditional Owners who have ensured this incredible part of Australia retains the natural beauty and environmental importance to make it worthy of World Heritage consideration, deserve better than to be treated like mute political chess pieces once again.

Warren ENTSCH MP Federal Member for Leichhardt

I’d like to take the opportunity to thank outgoing Editor of the Cape York Weekly, Matt Nicholls for his tremendous reporting over the years and dedicated service to the local Cape York Community. I wish you all the best for the future.

Local news, written by locals, for locals is critically important and accordingly I would also like to extend a warm welcome and congratualtions to Lyndon Keane as the new Editor of the Cape York Weekly and I look forward to following your work across the region.

Enrolment is strong at uni centre

By CHISA HASEGAWA

JUST six months since its official opening, a Cooktown university centre is celebrating tremendous growth as it welcomes a new staff member to keep up with demand.

Country Universities Centre Cape York is a dedicated study centre for remote students, providing them with reliable high-speed internet, modern technology and academic support.

CUC Cape York manager Jenni James said 59 students had registered for semester two and several were already completing their studies.

“Usage of the centre has exceeded our expectations, with usage regularly reaching eight students accessing the centre on any given day,” she said.

“We’re proud to have welcomed placement students from Cooktown Hospital, as well as local high school students, including those enrolled in distance education programs throughout the region.

“We’ve also got all of our university and TAFE students who appreciate the centre as a quiet, distraction-free environment.

“The coffee, snacks and air conditioning are also a welcome bonus for many of our students to keep their brains firing during long hours of study.”

Last month, the centre brought on Kerry Clough as the student support and outreach coordinator.

CUC Cape York team members Kerry Clough, Jenni James and Tiannie Otto are celebrating 59 students enrolling to study in the second semester of the Cooktown hub’s operation.

“Kerry’s role will strengthen our team to provide one-on-one academic support to students and manage the widening participation program currently being developed to encourage university participation by partnering with our local communities to codesign programs that address our unique challenges in supporting access to higher education,” Ms James said.

Ms Clough arrives in the role with a wealth of knowledge and experience in education and remote communities.

“I’ve been involved in universities and education, and I really liked the concept,” Ms Clough told Cape York Weekly.

“Being from a regional area myself in Tasmania and raising my children down there, I knew what the barriers could be, so access to education is so important for me.”

Ms Clough said facilities like the CUC were important.

“A lot of the systems that we have in universities, or even just any learning institution, [are] set up for the average person who has

access to computers, has reasonable literacy and numeracy skills, who come from an educational background and have family in the community that supports them,” Ms Clough said.

“It’s really not set up for people who struggle to have the most basic needs, so a lot of people have those barriers to overcome before they can even access education.

“CUC addresses a lot of those barriers, because people don’t necessarily have to leave their communities to get an education.

“When they come into the study hub, they’ve got access to good computers, good internet speed and academic support.”

Ms Clough said in her role, she could support students in many different ways.

“I can provide academic learning support and also student service type support, like helping with their wellbeing,” she said.

“It could also be around advocacy or accessing different processes within the university or other institution process.

“They wouldn’t ordinarily get these kinds of support if they were working from home, and it can be quite isolating just using the laptop at home.”

She said it was also important for her to reach students who had not considered higher education as a viable option.

“The outreach side of it is to try and build some pathways and connections with people who wouldn’t normally access higher education,” Ms Clough said.

“Education can be life-changing – it gives people opportunities and it gives them choices in life.

“I think if it’s a choice for them, that’s great, but if they haven’t got a choice, that’s where we’ve really let these people down.

“If that’s what they want to do, it also gives an opportunity to leave the community, build up those skills and hopefully return to their community with those skills.”

Massive numbers hit the Weipa course WEIPA parkrun participants have covered the staggering equivalent of one-and-a-half times around the equator since the weekly community event launched in July 2016.

The national parkrun movement offers those competing the opportunity to walk, jog or run a 5km course around their town each Saturday morning.

In the past seven-and-a-half years in Weipa, 1710 participants have completed 13,037 parkruns, burning some serious rubber on their shoes – and thongs – to notch up a total distance of 65,185km.

To put that into context, the circumference of the equator is a touch over 40,000km.

In a statistic reflective of Wei-

pa’s community-focused mindset, 449 individuals have volunteered 2,354 times to ensure the starter’s gun fires every week.

Seventy participants took to the course on Saturday for parkrun 351, with nine maiden runners celebrated and three personal bests recorded.

For those pondering whether they can set a record for the

course, Damien Messmer set a blistering pace of 16 minutes, 46 seconds at parkrun 235 in 2021.

Lizzy Bagnall is the reigning women’s record holder, with a personal best of 18 minutes, 41 seconds set in April 2023 at parkrun 266.

Weipa parkrun starts at 7am each Saturday from the shelter near the Nanum roundabout.

Cape Catch of the Week DO you want to be as famous (well, Cape York famous) as young Lenny Mintern with his barramundi?

Cape Catch of the Week will showcase a Cape York angler – big or small – and provide them ultimate bragging rights around the barbecue or campfire.

All you have to do is send us a photo of you and your catch, and answer a few simple questions.

If everything goes to plan, we are hoping to be able to offer a great weekly prize, but for the time being, the best you can hope for is seeing your mug and your catch online, and sticking the clipping from the paper on your beer fridge as a conversation starter.

And now, without further ado, meet your first Cape Catch of the Week winner, Lenny Mintern. And thanks to his dad, Glenn, for helping out with the answers.

Q&A WITH LENNY MINTERN How old are you?

I’m nearly four years old.

Where do you call home?

I live in Nanum in Weipa.

What do you like most about living on Cape York?

All the types of fishing we can do around town.

What is your favourite fish species to target?

Barramundi, because they jump out the water.

Where is your favourite location to wet a line?

My favourite spot to fish is the beach next to Rocky Point boat ramp, because you can play at the beach while waiting for bites.

Lenny Mintern with a beaut Weipa barra.

SPORT IN BRIEF Sands trumps mud A FIELD of 13 teed off in wet conditions when they took to Carpentaria Golf Club in Weipa on 31 January.

After players finished the front nine and returned to the clubhouse, Dave Sands proved triumphant with a nett 33, his more generous handicap keeping runner-up Mick Cernaka at bay with a nett 35.

Sands went around the course with 49 off the stick, while Cernaka recorded 41.

Elijah Graham took nearest to the pin honours on the 7th hole, with the 9th NTP prize going unclaimed. Evan Krall was crowned the Bradmans victor.

Craven claims Dawnbusters ROSS Craven won a humid edition of Dawnbusters on 4 February with an impressive par round, improving on his runner-up status from the week before.

With 17 players contesting the course at Carpentaria Golf Club, Craven proved too good, eking out a convincing win from second-placed Leigh Allender.

Ellmarie Duvenhague took Hoffmans honours for the round, with Christian Philpot’s dialed-in radar securing nearest to the pin glory.

Craven rounded out a strong showing by claiming the men’s longest drive, while Duvenhague took the big hitting bragging rights for the women.

Competitors will tackle the front nine on 11 February, with the first group scheduled to tee off at 6:30am.

Running Festival date set COMPETITORS will lace up their shoes on 21 July to tackle this year’s Weipa Running Festival.

Following a successful annual general meeting on 28 January, the new committee has hit the ground running to ensure the township’s premier running event will be another success.

The event will offer five courses, ranging from 2.5 kilometres to a full marathon.

Do you want to feature as our next Cape Catch of the Week? Flick a photo of your best recent catch to editor@capeyorkweekly.com.au or text it to 0419 891 666 by 9am on Sundays. The better the picture, the better chance you’ll have of getting published!

Who is your favourite fishing buddy?

I like fishing with dad because I catch more fish than him.

What is your biggest brag catch?

The biggest fish was a saratoga at the lakes that nearly spooled us, and

my favourite was my first legal barra that we took home and had for tea.

Bait versus lure?

Lenny’s dad said he prefers bait fishing, but the goal for 2024 is to catch a good barra on a lure!

Golf club AGMs THE Cooktown Golf Club will hold its annual general meeting this Saturday from 8.30am at the clubhouse on Quarantine Bay Road. The Carpentaria Golf Club meets on Saturday, 17 February at 9am.
