Mayor encouraged by meeting with Minister and Coordinator General over Red Hill Mine approval Stepping out of the meeting with the State Development and Natural Resources and Mines Minister Dr Anthony Lynham and the Coordinator General last week, Mayor Anne Baker is optimistic the state government is listening to the concerns of regional Queenslanders and the negative impacts of 100% forced FIFO. “At this point we are encouraged the Coordinator General’s new workforce requirements will deliver meaningful change to our region and provide employment opportunities both locally and regionally.” After seeking clarification on the proposed 3000 bed camp as part of the Red Hill Mine approval, Mayor Anne Baker said, “While this was originally proposed by the proponent, I can confirm that this has not been assessed or approved and that’s a win for the region.” “The commitment we received from the Coordinator General and Minister is that Council will have the opportunity to have input into any future assessments of any Red Hill Mine Project proposed camp, understanding all approvals will be dependent on demonstrated need.”
“I am very encouraged by discussions regarding the new framework and conditioning around workforce planning and accommodation capacity, and the reporting and monitoring regime. “I am positive the Minister and Coordinator General understand our concerns and the social and economic challenges an oversupply of camp accommodation will have on the region. “This was further supported by reassurances that the assessment process will take into account the existing accommodation capacity, before any unnecessary camps are built near established resource communities,” she said. “We were given a level of confidence that the Coordinator General will review the conditions and assessment of the Red Hill Mine Project taking into the account the findings of both the FIFO Panel Review and the parliamentary inquiry.” “Isaac Regional Council will continue to advocate and engage with the State Government on behalf of Isaac communities to drive positive change,” Mayor Baker said.

Council advocates FIFO priorities at national assembly The council of Queensland’s largest mining region is putting motions on the national agenda calling for action on concerns caused by fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) workforce practices. Mayor Anne Baker said Isaac Regional Council will move four key motions at the 2015 National General Assembly of Local Government (NGA) in Canberra. “Council will continue to strongly advocate at national forums on behalf of regional communities so all Australian local governments can have the opportunity to understand, consider and support cases advanced by Council. “These four motions highlight the urgent need to reform taxation, reduce duplication in planning and regulation, acknowledge cost-shifts due to nonresident workforces and implement a method to accurately measure nonresidential workforces.” The House Standing Committee on Regional Australia made 21 recommendations to the Federal Government in its ‘Cancer of the bush or salvation for our cities: fly in, fly out and drive in, drive out workforce practices in regional Australia’ report (Windsor Report). Isaac Mayor Anne Baker said Council was very concerned, on behalf of regional Australians, that it appears the Federal Government has only fully agreed to two of 21 recommendations
put forward in the national inquiry report. “It’s extremely disappointing after all the hard work and input from regional Australians to see this report collect dust for more than two years and to eventuate to such a dismissive outcome.” “The inquiry has taken in 26 public hearings and 232 submissions over 17 months, there clearly is a welldocumented, national impact here,” she said. “Since the report was handed down, we’ve seen more than 7,000 state-wide job losses in the mining industry which have hollowed out our regional resource communities.”
Mayor Baker said funding methodologies by State and Federal Governments fail to acknowledge the true costs for local governments associated with hosting a non-resident workforce. “Examples of exacerbated costs include hastened deterioration of road infrastructure, increased waste storage requirements and impacts to essential services, including health, police and emergency services.”
“The practice of introducing 100% non-resident workforces near existing regional communities, combined with falling coal prices, mining industry cost cutting measures and the completion of many growth and construction projects has had a significant negative impact in regional communities across Australia.” “The Windsor Report recommendations are designed to ensure that investment by mining industries in regional communities is balanced and fair. “When inclusive workforce practices are reintroduced by mining companies operating near existing regional communities, regional Australia will be able to continue to be a positive and integral part of economic growth.”

More than physical activity Sun Safety Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to effectively reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. • • • • •
Seek shade Wear sun protective clothing that covers as much of your body as possible Put on a broad-brimmed hat that shades your face, neck and ears Wear wrap-around sunglasses Apply SPF30+ or higher broad spectrum water resistant sunscreen every two hours
• For more information on preventing skin cancer, visit: http:// www.cancer.org.au/preventing-cancer/sun-protection/ preventing-skin-cancer/ Weekly Challenge: Check your skin The first sign of a melanoma is usually the appearance of a new spot, or a change in an existing freckle or mole. The change may be in size, shape or colour and is normally noticed over several weeks or months. The ABCDE guidelines provide a very useful way to monitor your skin and detect the early signs of melanoma. It is important that you seek expert advice if you notice any of the following: A is for ASYMMETRY: One-half of a mole or birthmark does not match the other.
B is for BORDER irregularity: The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred. C is for COLOUR variation: The colour is not the same all over, but may have differing shades of brown or black, sometimes with patches of red, white, or blue. D is for DIAMETER: The area is larger than 6 millimetres (about the size of a pencil eraser) or is growing larger. E is for EVOLVING: Changes in size, shape, colour, elevation, or another trait such as itching, bleeding or crusting. This last point is likely the strongest of all of the warning signs. How do I make sure I don’t miss anything? • Stand in front of a full length mirror in a well lit room. • Start at the top and work your way down your body. • Begin by using a brush or hairdryer to part your hair into sections so that you can check your scalp. • Move to your face and neck, not forgetting your ears, nostrils and lips. • Be sure to check both the top and underneath of your arms. Don’t forget your fingernails. • As you move down your body don’t forget to check places where the sun doesn’t shine! Melanoma can be found in places that do not have exposed skin. • Ask a partner or family member to check your scalp and back. • The best way to monitor changes on your skin is by taking photographs every few months and comparing them to identify any changes. React quickly if you see something growing and/or changing.

Show you care, donate a pair for Ronald McDonald House When there is an accident or a traumatic event some families leave with just the clothes on their backs in a rush with their sick or hurt child and end up at Ronald McDonald House in Townsville. Ronald McDonald House often receives donations of clothes for people in these situations, but they don’t receive donations of NEW underwear. We are asking people to donate a NEW pair of underwear – men, women’s or children’s any size shape or colour. Please drop all donations at either of the Clermont Primary Schools in our collection boxes. My family received unforgettable help from this awesome organisation in 2013/2014 for the 15 weeks we stayed at RMH when our twins were born nine weeks early. Our daughter was born with Oesophageal Atresia and has a lengthy tough battle ahead involving major surgeries. Without RMH I don’t know what our family would have done, when home was over 500kms away. They even supplied Christmas presents to our children when we had to spend Christmas at the hospital. RMH supplies meals and food in communal kitchens, toiletries, clothes, hotel like accommodation, movie nights for the kids, donated tickets and vouchers to events in Townsville for the families as well as so much more. Without Ronald McDonald house, families of sick children would have so much more to deal with instead of being able to focus on their child. Thank you Georgina Looker.

Health Matters What your poo can tell you Mention poo - or bowel motions, number twos or whatever you want to call them - and most people pull a face and change the subject. Yet there’s much you need to know about poo. Bowel problems The most important thing poo can let us know about our health is whether we have a bowel tumour. Bowel tumours often bleed so you should always talk to your doctor if you see any blood after you poo. You might notice blood on the outside of stools, on toilet paper after you wipe or in the bottom of the toilet bowl. As well, certain coloured stools are associated with bleeding. So maroon, dark red, bright red or very black poo (especially if it’s extremely smelly) are worth getting checked out. While you should never ignore any blood associated with your poo, it’s worth remembering not all bleeding is bowel cancer. Haemorrhoids, anal fissures, bowel polyps, peptic ulcers and a range of other digestive diseases can also cause bleeding. Colour coding When we think of poo, we tend to think of a certain shade of brown. But what ends up in the toilet bowel can be anything from brown to green to black. While what you eat can affect the colour of your stools, so can certain health conditions.
Stool gets its brown colour from bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. During the digestion process bile mixes with we have eaten, and it changes colour from green to brown as it travels to our colon. Generally, a meal takes three days to pass through the body to reappear in your toilet bowl. In some instances however, this process is sped up (for instance, if you have diarrhoea) and this can lead to green poo. Black poo may contain blood from further up your digestive tract, but it can also mean you are taking iron tablets – or gorging yourself on licorice or blueberries. While bright red blood on your stools warrant a trip to your doctor as it can mean bleeding in your digestive tract, beetroot can also make your poo look red. A very pale poo, which can mean a lack of bile, is pretty rare, although it could mean a bile duct obstruction, which requires medical treatment. Other messages from your poo Poo is composed of water and solid matter consisting of dead bacteria, indigestible food matter, cholesterol and fats, protein and inorganic substances like iron phosphate. These are all collected along the digestive tract from your mouth to your bottom. Bowel motions come in a variety of shapes, sizes and consistencies, ranging from hard pebbles to sausage
shaped smooth, fluffy or cracked edges, to fluffy lumps to straight out diarrhoea. Harder poo suggests constipation, runny is the opposite! However, everyone’s poo is different and its appearance changes from day to day. You may see mucus on Monday and have a hard poo on Tuesday. These variations are nothing to be worried about, unless they are still there a few days later because some factors may be relevant depending on your medical history. Diarrhoea can be a sign of anything from a tummy bug or food poisoning to a food intolerance, or possibly just a reminder that you had too many alcoholic drinks the night before. As well, some medications can cause diarrhoea. In most cases diarrhoea will clear up after a day or two, but sometimes it will warrant a trip to the doctor. Any changes to your poo’s consistency or colour which last more than a few days should be reported to your doctor. But if the only thing that has changed is the colour of your poo – and you have no other symptoms (or any sign of blood) or pre-existing health conditions and these changes don’t last too long – then don’t worry too much.
And remember… Protect, Prevent, Live Well
