This week...

From the editor My son's school is fighting a battle over footwear. The rule is that shoes must be black OR white, not black AND white, which seems to be the footwear of choice for many students. It's not a safety issue, it's one of appearance.

I'm a stickler for uniform. I like it in principle and I like it in practice. I insist my children wear it. But I'm wondering if the colour of the rim on a shoe is worth going to the barricades over.

The school's policy says uniform fosters a co-operative community where personal presentation, safety and membership are important priorities.

The boys' policy seems to be: why are white rims on black shoes such an issue when some students (I suspect, girls) get away with bright pink and blue hair? And this mother's policy might be: why are shoes such an issue when the length of some of the girl's skirts make me blush?

My strawpoll suggests attitudes are far from uniform. "Quite petty," said one.

"Read the US Admiral's speech on why you should make your bed!" said another.

But from the wisest of them all: "Kids judge each other not by their footwear, but by how many Instagram followers they have, what cars their parents drive, and where they go on holiday."

We're all just trying to put our best foot forward. To the shops, or to the barricades?

Leonie Johnson is the new CEO of Primary Ethics.

New top job for ethics volunteer eonie Johnson’s five-year record of excellence as a volunteer for Primary Ethics has led to her appointment as the company’s chief executive officer.

The Hamilton South environmental engineer and mother of two will take up the role next month when she hands the top job in her

own environmental management company, BlueSkyGreen, to a successor.

Having won an award for her volunteer work last year, Leonie’s goal is to continue to expand Primary Ethics’ delivery of ethics classes to children in NSW schools as an alternative to scripture.

Started in 2010, the Sydney-based company has few paid roles; weekly classes for 30,000 students are delivered by 2000 volunteers.

“But we believe there are about 100,000 kids in NSW who are not attending scripture classes, so there about 70,000 that could be attending ethics classes,” Leonie said.

What is needed is more volunteers. “We are always looking for people to help, and you only need a couple of volunteers to get classes started at a school.”

Leonie’s started volunteering as ethics coordinator at Hamilton South Public School when here daughter Annabelle (now in year 10 at Merewether High) was in year 5.

“It was her choice not to attend scripture, and I was interested in being part of what was developing as an alternative,” Leonie said.

“We had some lively discussions around the dinner table,” said Leonie, whose son Nathan is now studying philosophy, politics and ethics at

the Australian National University, Canberra.

Expertise in education and training led Leonie to switch to the role of developing and delivering ethics teacher training, which she still does, and then classroom support and professional development.

Her commitment is based on a belief that ethics classes deliver what all children – and all adults – need.

“The skills of listening, taking turns to speak, reasoning and developing logical arguments are really important,” Leonie said.

“Kids start to question and challenge each other, respectfully, and have some of their own beliefs challenged. They become more comfortable being challenged, and asked to explain their views.

“It’s what should be happening in board meetings, management teams, and politics.”

Ethics volunteer teachers don’t need any qualifications, but must commit to two days’ training, half an hour a week in the classroom, full police checks and “lots of paperwork”.

“Mostly, they must be keen to learn. We have roles aside from classroom teachers, in coordination and support. The job is challenging, but well supported.”

Newcastle port focus of protest Hundreds of people are expected to take part in a protest against fossil fuels in the port of Newcastle on 7-8 May. Newcastle will be the Australian focus of international climate change protest Break Free, which will also be held in Indonesia, Germany, the UK, Turkey, Brazil, the US, Canada, South Africa, and Nigeria.

Organised by Greenpeace and 350.org, the protest is aimed at highlighting the role of fossil fuels in climate change and global warming.

Chloe Hopkins, and one of her “Nine Lives”.

Chloe’s Nine Lives ambton High student Chloe Hopkins has her work featured in the annual ARTEXPRESS, which showcases the most outstanding works produced by HSC visual arts students last year.

The exhibition, which includes 55 works chosen from 9000 student submissions, will run at the Art Gallery of NSW until 15 May. Chloe is in year 12, having studied visual art as an accelerated course last year in year 11.

Her work is called Nine Lives, and is inspired by the black market in big cats.

“My artwork intends to bring awareness to the loss of the big cats using well-known icons such as tigers,” Chloe said.

“Their fur is highly soughtafter in the black market for their intricate pelt designs, which I have recreated through painting.”

Next year, Chloe hopes to study art or graphic/web design.

Revised mosque plans lodged The Newcastle Muslim Association has lodged a development application with Cessnock City Council for its planned mosque at Buchanan, with a revised design intended on fitting in with the rural surrounds.

The revised design would see a “softened” look without minarets, domes or loudspeakers, and the building would be moved further back from the road.

About 200 people would use the mosque weekly for Friday prayers between noon and 3pm. View the application from 30 March to 27 April.

Boost in beds for Cessnock jail An extra 620 beds will be built at Cessnock Correctional Centre, making it the biggest jail in the state. The growth is part of the Better Prisons reform program that will add more than 1100 beds to NSW jails by the end of 2017.

The plan also has a greater focus on rehabilitation, out-of-cell time and inmate participation in programs and employment.

It’s time to pull together for our art gallery

I

love Newcastle Art Gallery but, sadly, our gallery has had a rough few years. I think it’s time we all pitched in to help rebuild the reputation of our gallery and support the people who dedicate themselves to its growth.

This week’s announcement of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Newcastle City Council and the Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation is of no surprise to me. Last year, I was a member of the foundation and spent time with them to help the organisation regroup and refocus on how best to raise funds for the acquisition of art for what is already one of the most significant art collections in Australia.

The relationship between the foundation and the previous incarnation of council was

bruising for all involved. I’m not across all the details, but when I was approached by the foundation to come on board, I hoped that my experience in media and within our community would help to rebuild both the relationship between the two organisations, and offer a bit of support to how the gallery, and the foundation, are perceived by the public.

The biggest misconception about the foundation is that it’s an arm of the council. It’s not. It’s an independent body dedicated to fundraising to support the art gallery. Your rates do not go to the foundation. The foundation raises money to buy art which then becomes part of an incredible collection that belongs to us all.

Our city is just beginning

Just as the people of the Newcastle community who work at NCIG contribute to the success of the organisation, NCIG wants to make a contribution to the future success and prosperity of Newcastle.

The primary objective of the program is to ensure that funding is available for community projects and services which provide benefits to the Newcastle area and in particular the Mayfield, Warabrook, Fern Bay and Stockton communities.

CAROL DUNCAN UNPLUGGED

Foundation, in collaboration with the gallery’s own expert staff and the renewed support of the council, will ensure that what is one of the country’s most valuable regional art collections continues to grow.

Newcastle Art Gallery came into existence thanks to the dream of a benefactor, and benefactors have continued to play a huge role in the success of the gallery’s collection. Even if you never visit the gallery (and if that’s the case you’ve missed some incredible events), I hope that we will all throw our support behind any new steps for a new Newcastle Art Gallery. carol@newcastleweekly.com.au

what I hope will be an incredible transformation but, sadly, the expanded gallery that the city’s art collection deserves is, again, not yet part of the plan. I think sometimes the discussion of redevelopment and expansion of our art gallery bogs down in ugly arguments from a noisy few who haven’t yet worked out that it’s OK to care about more than one thing at a time. It’s OK to want better sporting facilities and it’s also OK to want to see more of our extraordinary art collection on display. The more we share, the more people will come to see it.

The MOU is, I believe, a sensible step by both parties toward rebuilding a truly healthy relationship that enables the gallery to flourish. The work of the Newcastle Art Gallery

Gutsy performances show that all is not lost AHEAD OF THE GAME KEVIN CRANSON

of paying out some of the debts owed by the club, and the number might not have been as high if the governing body had acted sooner to take the club back from the clearly struggling businessman.

FFA have put a $5 million price tag on the Jets and would expect a new owner to inject significant capital into the club – something FFA have not been prepared to do since taking the reins.

Perhaps if they had stumped up for the marquee player allowances available, it would have resulted in higher memberships and more bums on seats.

When it comes to running clubs, the FFA’s philosophy appears to be “do as we say, not do as we do”.

• Nick Cowburn has toiled away manfully as a makeshift left fullback for the Jets since the departure of Lee Ki-je early in the season and was rewarded for an excellent performance against the Victory with selection in the A-League team of the week.

It would be nice to see him get a start in his preferred midfield position before the season is out.

HIT... Cory Denniss. Cory who? Two tries on his Knights debut for the 18-year-old local product. Ran hard, defended well and gave the fans a much-needed Cinderella story to cheer.

MISS... The Roosters.

ell, that was a rare treat for Newcastle sports fans – a weekend when neither of our national teams lost!

Neither of them won either but, here in Spoon City, we’ll look at that as two glasses half full.

In fact, we could pour one of those glasses into the other and make a full one.

I’ll drink to that.

Both results – the Knights’ 24-all with the Raiders at Hunter Stadium and the Jets 1-1 away to Melbourne Victory – were the kind of backs-to-the-wall performances that Newcastle fans love.

Perhaps we’re too easily pleased in seeing our underresourced footballing flagships simply being hard to beat, but it sure beats the hell out of the alternative.

• After two limp losses to start the season, Knights coach Nathan Brown noted in the lead-up to the Raiders match that you can’t win league games if you don’t win the battle at the advantage line.

Trailing 16-6 early in the second half and struggling to make headway, it appeared the message hadn’t gotten through.

Then, centre Sione Mata’utia launched out of the defensive line like a heat-seeking missile and nailed Raiders prop Paul Vaughan with a bell-ringer.

Suddenly, the Knights were on a roll and the fans found their voice.

Let’s call it a lightbulb moment.

• Football Federation Australia were crying poor last week over a $2.4 million loss incurred since taking over the Jets from failed owner Nathan Tinkler.

It’s doubtful there will be much sympathy for them.

That figure includes the cost

Coralee Wainman, who just turned 104.

Coralee celebrates a sweet, long life n the occasion of her 104th birthday, Coralee Wainman, of Cooranbong, shared her recipe for a long and happy life: “Lots of sugar, salt and chocolate, Weet-Bix for breakfast and no exercise whatsoever.”

Children in the Newcastle area are waiting right now for someone to adopt them.

facility, Coralee celebrated her 104th birthday last week with family, friends and staff.

The wife of prominent Cooranbong pioneer aviator Franklyn Wainman, Coralee was born in Adelaide in 1912, the year the Titanic sunk.

She moved to Cooranbong as a young child and, while living in the historic Ellen G White “Sunnyside” home, she met Frank when he put her on an ants’ nest.

Years after that memorable first meeting, Coralee, in 1935, became Frank’s bride. The wedding followed an extraordinary trip to Sydney to buy an engagement ring.

“It was very exciting,” remembers Coralee.

“I wasn’t one much for flying, but our trip to Sydney was such a historic moment, flying from Cooranbong in Charles Kingsford Smith’s plane Southern Cross, the plane that, just a few years earlier, had completed the world’s first TransPacific flight from California to Australia.”

The couple were the proprietors of the landmark Wainman’s Garage for 30 years, before Frank’s death in 1971. Married for 36 years, Coralee has been widowed for more than 45.

While she laments that she no longer enjoys the taste of chocolate, Coralee continues to swear by Weet-Bix for breakfast, with sugar.

Clubs boost opportunities Newcastle and Hunter clubs will work to increase job opportunities, social engagement and amenities for people with a disability.

ClubsNSW has signed an agreement with the state government as part of a statewide disability inclusion plan to provide improved access and participation for people with a disability.

About 125 clubs representatives met at Swansea RSL last week to discuss the initiative, which will include research.

Danny Bhoy, Civic Theatre, Thursday 31 March.

UNTICKING THE BOXES

fter becoming pretty much a household name in this country, thanks to a slew of sold-out national tours and more television appearances than you can poke a stick at, Scottish comedian Danny Bhoy is heading back to our shores and, this time, he’s aiming his sights at internet marketing.

“It’s basically about people’s overreliance on security and a seemingly endless quest to get our information,” Bhoy said of his show Please Untick This Box, which comes to the Civic Theatre next week.

“There’s so much of it going around at the moment and we just

kind of accept it. You know, like if I buy something now I have to give them my email. No one has ever really stopped and said ‘hang on, why am I doing this?’ so, this show is trying to redress that balance a little bit."

Starting life at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Bhoy said that Please Untick This Box, like all of his shows, is a constantly evolving beast.

“That’s the thing about comedy.

With music, when Elton John performs everyone wants to hear Candle in the Wind. But comedians always have to come up with new material – especially in this day and age of Youtube and such," he said.

“small enough to car e, lar ge enough to ent ertain ”

it’s a constant source of amazement just how far I’ve come.”

So for such a seasoned pro, performing at the Civic Theatre should be a doddle, right?

“It’s amazing how nervous I am still before I go out on stage. I’m a bundle of jitters,” he said.

“As soon as I walk out on stage it’s like I’m in some kind of Oriental spa – it’s just so relaxing.”

Australia was one of the first places that cottoned on to Bhoy’s laconic style of humour but what is it about his style of comedy that appeals to Aussie audiences so much?

“My style of comedy is very story-based, more in the tradition of Billy Connolly than set-up and punch-line comedy. And because both Scottish and Australian people both seem to really love hearing a guy tell a great story, normally in a pub,” he said.

“I’ve been very lucky in your wonderful country. I started down there playing in a room above a pub in Melbourne for 18 people, so

A triumphant Rubens will pull out all stops at Groovin the Moo.

MOOVIN’ WITH THE RUBENS ith the dust barely settled from their mammoth Triple J Hottest 100 win for the track Hoops, Menangle’s favourite sons, The Rubens, are champing at the bit to kick off their inaugural Groovin The Moo jaunt in Maitland next month.

“It’s our first time out and we can’t wait,” bass player Elliott

Margin said. “It’s a great festival and those regional crowds are always great.”

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind for The Rubens since the release of their critically acclaimed sophomore effort Hoops, especially with the title track taking out top honours in the national youth broadcaster’s annual competition.

“Yeah, I think it has kind of settled down now that we’ve had a bit of time to process everything. It’s still a pretty big shock,” Elliott said.

“When you’re in the studio, you do tend to lose sight of the end result because you’re just so close to everything. So, when you do step outside that bubble and see such a positive reaction to the work, it’s really heartening and rewarding.

We’re all really chuffed.”

Whereas the debut was an indie power pop bolt from the blue, Hoops is a much deeper and more considered record.

“The album started life quite differently,” he said. “With the first one, we’d only been a band for around nine months so we basically recorded all the songs we had at the time. We weren’t writing for an album, we were writing for shows.

“But, with this one we took a bunch of time off and went down to the South Coast for a whole bunch of writing.”

Given the success of the band’s

2012 debut – helped along in no small part by the massive single My Gun, Elliot said that while living up to the feted album was in the band’s mind going into Hoops, it was more of a case of itchy feet.

“Initially, there was a little nervousness about the second record but it was more about the fact that the first record kept us on the road for so long that we were becoming more and more excited about getting back in there,” Elliot said.

“Hoops definitely came from a place of excitement and it was a great process. We were never pushed for ideas, which is always a good thing.”

With Hoops keeping the band busy for some time yet, Elliot said the they were keen to look forward to the next phase of the Rubens.

“We’re all just super excited about being busy again,” he said.

FOOD

Kids have the Easter Bunny, so why shouldn’t grown-ups indulge? Do try this at home!

Preheat oven to 190°C. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.

Chocolate and pecan ice-cream profiteroles

For choux pastry, place 250ml of water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium–high heat. Remove from heat and, using a wooden spoon, beat in flour. Return to stovetop and stir over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until a ball forms and the mixture comes away. Take off heat and transfer dough to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium speed until dough is smooth and glossy.

Recipe from Dinner with Justine, by Justine Schofield, Plum, $39.99.

Choux pastry

500ml thickened cream 1 x can condensed milk (395g) 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 50g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), coarsely grated 60g pecans, toasted and roughly chopped 3 tsp brandy (optional)

75g butter 3 tsp caster sugar pinch of salt flakes 125g plain flour 4 eggs

DINING

For ice-cream, combine cream and condensed milk in a bowl and whisk until thick. Sift in cocoa powder, add chocolate, pecans and brandy and fold through. Pour into a 1.5 litre plastic container, cover with plastic wrap and the lid. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

CHOCOLOSSAL!

Chocolate ice-cream (makes 1 litre)

WINE

Pipe mounds of the choux pastry, 5cm in diameter, onto prepared trays, leaving 2cm between each. Wet hands and smooth over points on the dough.

Chocolate sauce 300g dark chocolate (70% cacao) 350ml cream

Bake profiteroles in oven for 40-45 minutes until golden and dry. Remove profiteroles from trays and allow to cool on a wire rack.

For sauce, break chocolate into even pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.

Bring cream to the boil, then pour over chocolate. Mix with a metal spoon for 3-4 minutes until chocolate has melted and sauce is smooth and silky.

To serve, cut profiteroles in half, fill with a scoop of the ice-cream and sandwich together. Drizzle over the hot sauce.

Self-saucing puddings Recipe from Patisserie by Melanie Dupuis & Anne Cazor, Hardie Grant Books, $59.99.

150g butter 50g plain flour 100g icing sugar 3 eggs Preheat oven to 180°C. Line six 8cm dessert rings with baking paper, with paper sticking out above the ring.

Pansies give winter colour y petunias and tomatoes, no doubt, look like yours – tired and bedraggled and definitely ready to be dug out. Please dispose of fly-infested tomatoes, don’t leave them to rot on the ground.

I am pleased to finally plant out new season flowers and vegetables, but firstly I’ll dig in poultry manure and an all-purpose plant food.

Although it is time to plant out spring flowers, I wait until later so that I can squeeze in an autumn/winter display that can be achieved quickly by choosing one of the many varieties of pansy. My

personal choice is pots filled with yellow marigolds, bordered with blue lobelia, which will flower until I change to colour for spring.

Although large flowered pansies, such as Jumbo Giants and Large Dynamic, are favoured by many gardeners, I often find some of the smaller blooms more showy, as they produce masses of flowers. Oasis Horticulture’s list of pansies is very extensive. Some of my favourites are Pansy Citrus, shades of orange, yellow and white; Butterfly Kiss, which is a pretty mix of colours; Pansy Seaside, mixing white, blue and yellow; and so many single

colours – yellow, orange, blue, violet, red, black and white.

I noticed during the last week that interest has waned in planting lettuce, which grow quite well during the colder months. No doubt the change in temperature has made us think of baked dinners and soups. Hence, the planting of Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and silver beet.

Each of the above flowers and vegetables can be planted in gardens, pots, troughs or raised beds. If planting in containers, indulge in a good quality potting mix as low-priced mediums don’t contain enough fertilisers or wetting agents.

Wherever you plant vegies or flowers they love a regular application of Flourish. It can be used on a weekly basis to encourage quicker growth.

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

THIS WEEK...

• Enjoy the Easter break, but don’t forget to water regularly.

• Dust cabbage and kale to deter moths that lay grubs.

• Lawns affected by army grubs should be fertilised and lightly top-dressed while there is still growing time to repair brown patches.

• Check out spring bulbs at retail outlets. Although planting out isn’t necessary yet, there are more choices of colour and varieties of tulips, daffodil, jonquil and hyacinth available. judy@newcastleweekly.com.au

“When my wife and I decided to sell our family home, we interviewed six agents to see who was the best. We decided to trust the sale of our home with the agent who had the best local knowledge and we felt we could trust Lisa. Lisa Spratt went way beyond her duty as an agent and found the right buyer for our home within 30 minutes. There was no hassle or fuss. I’ve sold many houses over the years and have always had great success in doing so. The sale of our home at 1 Allard St Redhead that Lisa handled for us was our BIGGEST success. Obviously, reaching the highest sale price for Redhead was FANTASTIC, and to be honest, I’m not sure we would have obtained that record price without Lisa Spratt. Lisa is honest, trustworthy and very dedicated to protecting the best interests of her clients, not to mention an extremely hard worker. These are not words I would use to describe many of the local agents. If you’re thinking of selling, then do your homework. Check the other local agents out, see for yourself what they are like, then get Lisa out and I’m sure you will see for yourself that she is the BEST choice. I would like to wish Lisa Spratt every success and, once again, thank her for helping our family to reach the RECORD selling price for Redhead.”

ORIX No 1 FOR QUALITY ONE OWNER CARS “simply the best”

March 25 – 31

PICK OF THE WEEK A Series Of Unfortunate Events Sunday, GO!, 6.30pm, PG (2004) Based on the first three in Daniel Handler’s Lemony Snicket series of children’s books, this densely stylised piece of bleak gothic fun has something of the nastiness of a Roald Dahl story. Jim Carrey (pictured middle) is in madcap form as the vile Count Olaf, who tries to swindle the wealthy Baudelaire children (Emily Browning, left and Liam Aiken, right) out of their inheritance after their parents are killed in a fire.

A worthy tale for children and adults alike.

Friday

The King’s Speech

Emma Monday, PRIME7, 12pm, PG (1996) There is certainly something to be said for the beguiling Gwyneth Paltrow’s (left) effortless immersion into meaty roles. Wonderfully costumed, photographed, scored and acted, this comely adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel is romantic comedy in full bloom. Paltrow is both radiant and assured as the title’s impudent Cupid character and an invigorating support cast including Jeremy Northam, Toni Collette and Ewan McGregor (again sporting bad hair extensions) appear to be having a ball.

Friday, PRIME7, 8.30pm, M (2010) Tom Hooper’s moving tale about the relationship between King George VI and an unorthodox speech therapist is a feelgood tale wrapped up in royal intrigue.

Colin Firth delivers a powerhouse performance as the stammering king, struggling to overcome his impediment in order to present a composed, eloquent figure to the English public as World War II breaks out. Equally inspiring is Geoffrey Rush, whose quirky, cheeky Lionel Logue bounces brilliantly off the reserved, austere royal he is trying to help.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Mars and Saturn are both in fiery, impulsive Aries and in favourable aspect with Uranus in Aries until 27 May. For the next few months, life will become exciting and adventurous.

Now is the ideal time to tend to your diet and get plenty of rest.

When it comes to your romantic life, pay attention to small details and don't leave anything to chance as you make your next move towards love. Assume nothing.

Remain meticulous as you woo with purpose.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

As March is a universal number 3 month, it is a very busy and social time. Three is the number of creativity, ideas, discussions and communications. This is the right time resolve issues at work or at home. If you feel exhausted, take a good break away.

Don't let anxieties and jealous behaviour get out of control. The more tightly you hold onto a loved one, the more likely they are to long for freedom and independence.

Even though change can be frustrating, it also opens up different perspectives that might never have crossed your mind.

With March being a universal number 3 month, bright colours are associated with the number 3 so listen to your creative instincts especially if you want to renovate your home or change your clothes and wardrobe. It’s also a great time to treat yourself to live theatre or music.

All throughout March, which is a very busy and social month, there are opportunities aplenty to get to know relatives and friends better and to allow you to cultivate new contacts and broaden your networks.

Thoughtful gestures and kind favours from loved ones will mean the world to you.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

Mars squares Neptune indicating a need to be careful of your temper, as any resentments with loved ones or colleagues will be more obvious than you'd like. Mars is a red hot planet and quickens your pace so be very careful of rushing around to avoid accidents.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21

Venus squares Saturn indicating that procrastination is dangerous.

Taking your work problems out of the office will only lead to disruption of your much-needed harmony at home.

Tackle issues before the end of the day. Be sure to consult your partner before making any radical changes to your home.

There will be study and travel in the life of many this month; it will also be auspicious for meeting new people, discussing new ideas, being sociable and friendly with siblings, neighbours and relatives.

A catch-up with people you rarely see will be a joy.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23

When Mars and Uranus align, romance becomes a no-holds-barred event. If you've ever needed the courage to do something especially romantic, this is your month!

Planning for the future could slip into overdrive, but leave space for unexpected developments.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 Mars in Sagittarius indicates a need to de-escalate any conflicts or at least put them off until tomorrow or even later! You've got the sense that people need to chill right now or things might get really bad. Uranus will provide unexpected breakthroughs.

Barnardos Australia urgently needs shortterm foster carers for local children in need.

We provide support, training and a generous tax free allowance of $1050 per fortnight.
