Well situatiat and convenient for usWill recommit to friends
The friendly spirit and conviviality.
Room was renovated recently.
We enjoyed the breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. Easy access to parking lot, friendly staff, landscaping was nicely designed.
The sheets on the bed kept coming off (the bottom sheet kept coming off the mattress). One of two electronic card keys did not work. The staff had asked if it was kept close to my cell phone, which it was. They replaced it, but it still would not work.
Hotel indicated that it has a restaurant, but it looked very bare and unsure if it was truly a restaurant. Variety of food not very appealing. Went out of the hotel for dinner and breakfast.
Great breakfast that was included in our stay. Also like how they were pet friendly. Nothing really negative to say per say about the place you get what you pay for I would stay here again if I was in the area.
Didn't really like the fisherman next door who were quite loud and intoxicated but they did quite down about 11pm. Place is also very dated but very clean.
Fits the price and stars. It's a place to sleep. Nothing fancy, but nothing gross/unclean either. Quite decent.
Location and price
no appliances. not even a kettle.
wifi didn't work for most of the time.
colour tv was very blury and text could not be read.
Skiing . that's it
Horribly unorganized, waited forever for our room. No parking. Lobby was always closed off for private function. Staff was not good at providing suggestiobs on getting around and what there was to do. We booked as a group if 8 wanting two rooms and we were placed in separate hotels. We complained, they got us in same room but not together. Very upset. A lot of money spent for such a mediocre experience. Dinner was okay,
It's a great location in the village. The late check out on Sunday was great.
On the water, far enough away from the crummy part of town, nice atrium, quiet at night (high marks for that)
Restaurant way overpriced but we were stupid enough to eat there once anyway
Comfortable accommodations and helpful friendly staff.
The continental breakfast was a bit disappointing. (But the staff serving in the dining room were competent and pleasant.)
It really needs to be updated. Everything was old and worn. Way to expensive for what you got.
Clean, new, comfortable bed.
Not much wrong considering the great price. The halls are still being finished a bit but the room is great.
The proprietress was very friendly and helpful. The room was more then satisfactory for our needs.
Wifi not strong enough

Biblical Birthers? Titus Claims Bible Says Obama Ineligible for Presidency
Birther spokesman Herb Titus went on Voice of Christian Youth America's Crosstalk on Friday to discuss the progress of the birther movement. Undeterred by recent setbacks to the movement, Titus claimed that President Obama's ineligibility for office is written into the Bible and that in any case, the president "is more loyal to his African father than he is to the American nation."
When President Obama released his long-form birth certificate last year, birthers did not accept the blow to the central premise of their movement. Instead, they switched tacks and started claiming that the birth certificate was inconsequential and that the president was in fact ineligible because one of his parents was not a United States citizen.
Now, Titus seems to have blended this new definition of "natural born citizen" with some David Barton-style biblical analysis to conclude that God himself has declared Obama ineligible for the American presidency:
Titus: What's important is to realize that being a natural born citizen is based upon the law of nature. Any natural law is based on a law of nature which is revealed by God. And the notion is that no one is accidentally born in any particular nation to any particular parent. You're not born by accident, you're born by design. And who's the designer? Well, God's the designer. So if you're born of two parents, that is a mother and father, who are of the same citizenship, then you have been ordained by God to be a citizen of the nation of your parents. That's why he's a natural born citizen. So, there's a design in this that goes all the way back to scriptural principles.
Schneider: Dr. Titus, when this issue has come up time and time again to either the president or his press secretary, they are now referring to the long-form birth certificate that they released in 2011. In your opinion, does the presentation of this long-form certificate, as they have given it and said, 'See, there's the evidence,' in your opinion does this satisfy the matter?
Titus: Well, I think it does if your definition of natural born citizen is that the parents have to be citizens of the United States. Because the form that was produced by the Obama administration indicates that his father was not an American citizen. Where people said, where race usually you put 'black' but it has 'African.' Well, it shows that he had a national citizenship that was not the United States. So, you don't need anything more than the evidence that's already been furnished by the Obama administration themselves. You don't have to go behind it, you don't have to determine whether it's a fraudulent certificate. It says it on its face.
Titus: The people have a responsibility here to make sure that the Constitution is followed as it is written. I mean, if people don't like the natural born citizen requirement, then they can amend the Constitution. I think in this particular case, it demonstrates why the natural born citizen requirement is so important, because I think this president does have a divided loyalty. I think he is more loyal to his African father than he is to the American nation, and I think that's been well-documented.

Oliver Stone to direct film on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden
The project pairs one of cinema's most controversial directors with one of the most explosive news events in recent years — one that is ongoing.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Oliver Stone will write and direct a film about Edward Snowden, one of two high-profile films in the works about the National Security Agency leaker.
The Oscar winner announced Monday that he plans to adapt "The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man," a book by The Guardian journalist Luke Harding. The project pairs one of cinema's most controversial directors with one of the most explosive news events in recent years — one that is ongoing.
"This is one of the greatest stories of our time," Stone, 67, said in a statement. He added that making such a film is "a real challenge."
Stone has advocated for the former NSA contract systems analyst, who is living in Russia on a temporary grant of asylum after leaking massive amounts of NSA documents to the media.
"To me, Snowden is a hero because he revealed secrets that we should all know, that the United States has repeatedly violated the Fourth Amendment," Stone said in a press conference at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic.
Snowden has been charged in the U.S. with espionage and felony theft of government property.
But the effects of have revelations have been evident in the courts, Congress, Silicon Valley and capitals around the world, where even U.S. allies have reacted angrily to reports of U.S. monitoring of their leaders' cellphone calls. Brazil and members of the European Union are considering ways to better protect their data and U.S. technology companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are looking at ways to block the collection of data by the government.
Stone will have some deep-pocketed competition. Sony Pictures last month purchased the big-screen rights to Glenn Greenwald's "No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the U.S. Surveillance State." The film is being produced by James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

Stars avoid arbitration, agree to one-year deal with Mark Fistric
Jul 21, 2012, 3:43 PM EDT
Another day, another arbitration case avoided, this time in Dallas.
According to Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News, the Stars and defenseman Mark Fistric came to an agreement on a one-year, $1.45 million deal. TSN's Darren Dreger reports it's actually worth $1.475 million. What's $25,000 between friends? Fistric played in 60 games last season earning two assists and 41 penalty minutes.
Fistric also found a way to cause a bit of trouble thanks to a three-game suspension for charging Islanders rookie Nino Niederreiter. Fistric will look to see more consistent ice time this season as the Stars lost Sheldon Souray to Anaheim in free agency. He'll get pushed in training camp by a lot of hopeful Stars youth, namely Brenden Dillon and Phillip Larsen.

In addition to the construction delayed for the 17th SUKMA indoor badminton stadium, audience who attended badminton games held on Friday were annoyed by water leaking from the roof at the newly build Badminton Stadium.
Leaks were spotted at different parts of the badminton hall near the seating areas, fortunately, that didn't interrupt with any games.
Public Works Department (JKR) director Azizan Ab Rahman said the leak was just a minor defect. Water entered the stadium through the side roof due to poor workmanship by the installer.
"We spotted the leakages at 4pm and the leakages were repaired by 6pm," said Azizan.
"We've inspected the hall thoroughly to ensure no more leakages were found," he added.

There is always an "It" bag in Hollywood. And right now the bag du jour is Lanvin's "Happy" bag. Jessica Alba has one. So do Sarah Jessica Parker and Reese Witherspoon. Katie Holmes likes hers so much she's been photographed with it at least six times.
The bag is made of quilted leather with a ribbon wrapped chain link handle. It is very chic and lux and is an instant classic. The leather is soft, but sturdy and the bag is roomy enough to be practical.
The "Happy" bag is the latest "It" bag in a long line of "It" bags beloved by Hollywood stars. There's the Hermes Birkin, of course. Chanel's 2.55 quilted bags, the Balenciaga bag and Chloe's Marcie Leather Satchel. Remember how "Sex and The City" sent the Fendi Baguette flying off shelves?
Katie and the rest of the "Happy" gang have their bags in mauve, but it also comes in black and navy. I saw a leopard print version at Barneys that was pretty sweet too. So is the price tag.
The leopard bag is $2,500… the leather retails for $2,215. But that doesn't mean the stars paid that! In my next life, I hope I have my own personal designer handbag fairy godmother!
A girl can dream, right?

Once again, it's Barkevious Mingo.
On Thursday, ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper released his mock draft 4.0 and, not surprisingly, he projects the Jets will select the undersized pass rusher from LSU with the ninth overall pick. In the second round, he has Stanford TE Zach Ertz to the Jets at 39 overall.
Kiper has been consistent with Mingo-to-the-Jets. You can check out the entire first round, but here are Kiper's top nine:
1. Chiefs -- Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
2. Jaguars -- Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
3. Raiders -- Sharriff Floyd, DT, Florida
4. Eagles -- Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
5. Lions -- Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
6. Browns -- Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
7. Cardinals -- Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
8. Bills -- Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina
9. Jets -- Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU
Kiper's take: This is a pick I'm sticking with, because I really like the fit. The Jets need an athletic difference-maker on the edge for Rex Ryan. I've said before the interior of the defensive line should be a strength with Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples, but the Jets need edge speed. Mingo is a freak athlete and could become a star under Ryan's tutelage.

Will two-way player Shohei Otani be Japan's next MLB export?
How about a pitcher who can swing for the fences? San Francisco Giants ace and reigning World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner—who has two career grand slams and homered four times last season—is one such dual threat.
So is Shohei Otani. If you haven't heard about the 20-year-old Japanese sensation, you will soon. He plays for the Nippon-Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball, the highest level of baseball in Japan, but he has designs on playing major league baseball. His current team could "post" him in three or four years and allow him to sign with an MLB franchise.
Otani for is 20-4 with a 2.71 career ERA and 274 strikeouts in 259 innings over two-plus seasons in the NPB. He throws a 100 mph fastball—and he looked almost effortless while hitting that speed multiple times in this video from the 2014 All-Star Game. When he is in the lineup as a DH or outfielder, Otani hits with equal power. He has hit .251 with 15 home runs in 443 career at-bats.

Winter Meetings 2012: Detroit Tigers Linked to Outfielder Scott Hairston
Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski squashed rumors that his team had offered free agent outfielder Scott Hairston a two year contract. The free agent from the New York Mets is one of the targets of several teams during the MLB's annual Winter Meetings.
The Tigers are already busy trying to re-sign free agent pitcher Anibal Sanchez and also trade Brennan Boesch. Finding an insurance outfielder is apparently a priority for the Tigers as well. The Tigers have eight of their nine position battles settled, with left field the only role that is really up for grabs, barring any trades or huge free agent signings.
The Tigers are being linked to Hairston, who played in 134 games in the 2012 season. The versatile outfielder played center field (34), right field (48), left field (59) and also was a pinch hitter for the Mets last year. The slugger had 99 hits, 20 home runs and 57 RBIs during the 2012 season. Hairston also had eight stolen bases, while hitting .263 for the year. Hairston is a career .247 hitter.
Over his career, Hairston has played for the Mets, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres and Oakland Athletics. The outfielder was drafted in the third round of the 2001 MLB Draft by the Diamondbacks. Hairston attended Canyon del Oro High School and Central Arizona College. Ian Kinsler was a teammate of Hairston's in both high school and college.
If I'm Dombrowski, I am sitting tight on outfielders at the Winter Meetings. I would be more worried about getting pitching help. Austin Jackson will start in center field and newly acquired Torii Hunter is starting in right field. The left field position will most likely go to Avisail Garcia. This leaves Andy Dirks, Quintin Berry and rookie prospect Nick Castellanos as all potential outfielder substitutes. Dirks has proven himself over the last couple of years and could actually win the starting role with no surprise. Berry was named the Tigers Rookie of the Year and also their Tenth Man of the Year. Castellanos was moved to the outfield from third base, as he had Miguel Cabrera blocking his path to the majors.
Dombrowski has said that ideally the Tigers will find an outfielder who will sign a one year deal, which will be an insurance policy to the group of outfielders. Hairston is not a backup outfielder and the Tigers would have to overpay for him during the current meetings. Dombrowski should wait and see how the outfield battle shakes out during Spring Training.

KUALA LUMPUR: The suspect involved in the murder of L/Kpl T. Thivakar of the Bukit Aman Special Branch has been remanded for another five days.
Acting City CID chief Asst Comm Khairi Ahrasa said the remand of the suspect, who is a colleague of Thivakar, was extended from yesterday.
The suspect, a 33-year-old lance-corporal, was detained at about 11.30pm on Tuesday at the Travers police station some seven hours after Kpl's Thivakar's body was found near Bukit Persekutuan on Feb 4.
Kpl Thivakar, 37, was shot twice in the head.
When asked by reporters, his mother M. Selama said she last saw him going out to meet a friend to collect RM4,000 owed to him.

Inland Revenue is spending $1 million a month on consultants as it pushes ahead with its $1.5 billion IT project.
The department has confirmed it has paid nearly $10.6m in the past 10 months to the Australian division of French-based global IT company Capgemini.
The figure was revealed in an Official Information Act response the Green Party provided to the Sunday Star-Times last week.
The payments come after it was confirmed Inland Revenue had paid more than $30m in redundancies as it prepares for the IT upgrade.
"It's a lot of money. This level of spending clearly needs to be scrutinised as to whether this is the right investment," Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said.
"It is a big project and IT projects are expensive, but the fact they went with a model that's biased against New Zealand software providers is part of the problem. The way Inland Revenue did it [create the contract], our companies didn't stand a chance, and I'm not convinced contracting out to a big international company is the way to get best value for money."
Norman said the Greens would be seeking a full briefing from Inland Revenue bosses at parliamentary select committee level. "We will keep the heat on them," he said.
Documents released by Inland Revenue after an OIA request reveal Capgemini was the recommended vendor for the project partly because of its "commitment and understanding of the NZ market".
But Norman questioned that, saying the company had previously quit New Zealand, and only relaunched its operations in a bid to secure the contract.
"The way the firm won the contract is ludicrous, what commitment and understanding of the New Zealand market? This is a firm that walked away in the 2000s . . . and only came back late last year to get this contract. How many jobs have been created by giving this to Capgemini . . . bugger all, none in New Zealand I'd have thought."
Inland Revenue business transformation acting deputy commissioner Ron Grindle said the department appointed Capgemini to assist it with the planning phase of the project because it had the necessary global experience in public sector change.
"They have partnered with a local company, Tenzing Management and Technology Consultants Limited, to complement the expertise they are providing."
In July the Star-Times revealed Inland Revenue had paid about $31m to 526 staff made redundant over three years, as it prepared for the upgrade. That figure was revealed in documents released by Parliament's finance and expenditure committee, and was made up of $18.3m in the 2009-10 financial year, $6.5m in 2010-11, and $6.1m last year.
An Inland Revenue spokesperson said at the time that the costs included voluntary redundancies offered in the 2009-10 year. "They also reflect changes made as we look at where and how we deliver services, to make doing business with us easier and more efficient for customers. We need to ensure they can deal with us effectively, and we are responding to the changing ways they want to do business, such as online."
Revenue Minister Peter Dunne won't say how much Capgemini's "commercially sensitive" consultancy contract is worth.

Hundreds of concerned residents from all over the affected suburbs turned up at the beautiful historic Fremantle Victoria Hall on Tuesday evening to listen to CUSP Professor Peter Newman's talk about the pros and cons of the proposed PERTH FREIGHT LINK.
Newman wryly pointed out that the PFL was quite clearly designed to go around the City of Melville (for obvious political reasons) and that the Melville Mayor is on record saying that Melville was not for trucks. He also stressed that the BCR-Benefit Cost Ratio is important and will demand that the freight link would needs cars to reach a good BCR, so the freight link will not just be for trucks.
The strategies before the PFL were to increase freight on rail to at least 30 per cent, shift freight to the outer harbour and improve truck management.
Most trucks come and go to the port during day time hours when the journeys are longer because of all the other traffic on the roads and many come or go empty. Management believes it would be more effective to increase night time deliveries and pick ups at the port and that it could double container freight that way.
Professor Newman showed that the Fremantle Ports annual report 2013/14 indicated inner harbour capacity would be reached within 10-15 years, which really questions why State Government would want to spend billions on a new road to the port.
Peter Newman also said that the PFL would see a rapid increase in trucks on the road with more deliveries to the port and that would reduce the lifespan of the inner harbour. He warned the most likely scenario (to protect the financial viability of the new port owners) would be no rail and no outer harbour. He said an outer harbour at Kwinana is essential.
The CUSP transport expert painted a dark picture for the suburbs, the Beeliar wetlands and warned that North and East Fremantle would severely suffer from the PFL and would never be the same again. He wondered why designs are done on the run and that the Barnett government had no idea how to get through the bottle necks in North Fremantle with the suggested tunnel coming up near Marmion Street with nowhere else to go than the Canning traffic bridge. A duplication of the bridge would cost at least half a million dollars which our cash-strapped government has not got and is not budgeted for.
But it is also not simple to put freight to the port on rail as it would need 4-5 large and very expensive intermodal terminals.
The PFL would be disastrous for the economic growth and plans for the City of Fremantle while the building of an outer harbour port would see increase in land values in Fremantle and Kwinana.
Professor Newman said that thinking on the run was not great governance but he believed the Perth Freight Link was conceived by State Government under pressure from the Federal Government in Canberra as there is no clear State policy to build the road.
City of Fremantle CEO Graeme McKenzie outlined the City's policy on the PFL and port and stressed Council was in favour of retaining the working port in Freo. He also warned that the West End would not be able to cope with increased freight on rail because the railway line was in some locations only metres away from residential buildings.
Next Tuesday July 21 there will be a big RETHINK PERTH FREIGHT LINK forum at the Fremantle Townhall from 6-8 pm with Ben Elton as MC. Speakers will be MP Alannah MacTiernan, Senator Scott Ludlam, City of Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett and Freo's Mayor Brad Pettitt. Doors open at 5.30.
A reminder that tomorrow Tuesday July 14 at 6 pm Professor Peter Newman of Curtain University of Sustainable Policy will analyse the proposed Perth Freight Link.
It will be held at Victoria Hall from 6-7pm and entry is free.
If you feel like a quick bite before the talk I highly recommend the great Indian food from my friends at Zab Salad just opposite the hall!

I had not seen this artist impression of the planned Fremantle Ports Victoria Quay development that Oneperth published on-line, so wanted to share it with you. The publication reports State Planning Commission has recommended the approval of the plans.
What is missing in the picture is the railway line crossing at Pakenham Street that was going to connect with the extended Peter Hughes Drive, that was proposed, but we do see a substantial building taking up most of Pioneer Park.
The independent Oneperth also suggests there would be a four-storey bus exchange, probably to the east of the railway station. From memory it was suggested a pedestrian bridge would connect with the to be developed Woolstores shopping centre.
It will be interesting to see if State Government will release final plans for the project ahead of the planned sale of the port as that might well increase the price and put more money in the empty mismanaged coffers of our state.
According to Oneperth there had been no submissions received during a 21 day period, which seems extremely strange, but then again, I am not aware a submission period had been advertised, so most people in Fremantle probably would not have known about it.
I believe the ten-storey tower just to the east behind the railway station needs to be lowered to no more than six storeys as it overpowers the heritage station, and the huge building at Pioneer Park is unacceptable. Mayor Brad Pettitt has just written about increasing public open spaces and Fremantle can't afford to lose Pioneer Park as a lingering and recreation point to offset the proposed commercial ugliness at Victoria Quay.

Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt has summarised his fact-finding visit to some of the most liveable European cities on his blog and I have copied it here with my remarks and suggestions in Italic bold. I believe this should be a discussion the Fremantle community needs to have and a think tank would be nice to sit around with a few experts but also lay people like myself who are interested in urban design:
Brad Pettitt: Taking the European lessons learned and where Perth is at today I decided to have another go at defining the key ingredients of liveable and sustainable new developments. I think it is not as hard as is often make out and that these key ingredients can be narrowed down to a ten simple ingredients. These ingredients or perhaps commandments, however, are not etched on stone tablets so I'd appreciate your feedback on what I might be missing: Ten Ingredients for liveable and sustainable urban design:
- Gentrification is not the same as rejuvenation. Mandate a diversity of housing types, sizes and levels of affordability.
Roel: Gentrification is the rejuvenation of old run down buildings and in larger buildings, e.g. the Woolstores opposite Clancys, has the opportunity for diverse housing that would rejuvenate that area.
- Invest in high quality public parks and spaces for people to meet and recreate in. Make space for spontaneous community to flourish and especially for children to enjoy.
Roel: Small surprises scattered around the city for children so they can explore and discover and linger and do activities, but not massive playgrounds was something we talked about with David Engwicht when he had community sessions in Fremantle, but nothing has come from it.
- Plant street trees and lots of them. Trees are wonderfully generous towards even the dullest modern architecture.
Roel: We have very few trees in the CBD and that should be improved. It breaks up the monotony of building facades and streetscapes. Beach Street and High Street east could be tree-lined welcoming boulevards for example.
- Activate the street level with ground level shops and cafes. There should be a different business every ten metres on high streets and these ground floor usages should be diverse, meet local needs and be open diverse hours. This is essential to creating a "cities of short distances".
Roel: Retail diversity, good shop fronts and window displays are missing in Fremantle, and Notre Dame University still occupies too much ground level space that needs to be activated in the West End. It has been part of the Memorandum of Understanding with UNDA for years now, but they have done little to implement reactivation of their ground level properties. That is disappointing.
- Embed sustainability features into the design from the start. Water and fossil fuel based energy is going to be a lot more expensive in coming decades and our designs should plan to be future proof.
Roel: Why can't we start in Fremantle with a policy that requires all new buildings to have solar energy and rain water collection. It would make a big difference over time.
- Embed high quality and high frequency public transport into the development from the start. Preferably light rail or street cars that create investor certainty and influence a denser built form.
Roel: I love trams/light rail, but Fremantle does not have the population numbers for it yet to make it financially viable for private investors. The short-distance shopping experience with more localized deli's etc. should be encouraged.
- Traffic calm streets. Keep cars to fringe of residential developments or at least design them so cars don't dominate. Local streets are for people so make cars last in the transport hierarchy.
Roel: This is what they do so much better in many European cities. Prioritising pedestrian amenity in local streets and making safe places for kids to play in the streets is the way to go. Laneway access to carports instead of street access would be good where it can be done.
- Waste removal and storage needs to be well planned and designed into new developments so high levels recycling can occur and other waste turned into energy not just landfilled.
Roel: Waste removal away from streets and maybe create collection points could be something we should look at.
- Greater urban density is essential for our centres to be more liveable and sustainable. Global evidence suggests there is a sweet spot between 4 and 8 floors. There is no need to obsess over the height of buildings though; it's normally not the most significant amenity factor if you get the rest right.
Roel: Height should not be the main factor of concern, but design and building quality should be. We in W.A. compromise far too fast and approve bland, boring, mediocre, and really unacceptable, design and that does not make our cities more liveable. What we need is diversity, higher density and outstanding design, the heritage of the future we keep hearing about but that is never built. The City of Fremantle Council, the Planning Department and the Design Advisory Panel need to show a stronger front and tell developers that Fremantle does not want mediocre concrete boxes.
Brad: Mandate and integrate the above. This requires risk and leadership but future residents will thank you for it.

Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt has been publishing interesting articles on his blog about his fact-finding trip to some of the European most liveable cities. His latest article can be read in full here: https://cofremantle.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/lessons-learned-from-europe-part-two/
I commented on Brad's blog a few weeks ago that some of the things he is very impressed about are things we in Fremantle have long indicated as being desirable for our city and a lot of it was mentioned during the Fremantle 2029 community sessions, but largely ignored when the report on it was published.
Brad writes in his latest blog post that his observations in Europe showed that new development needs to be accompanied by a major provision of high quality green spaces at a total of 30% of the land size of the development, not the 10% that is standard in W.A. Increase in public open spaces and making it compulsory for new developments is something others in the Freo community and I personally have called for on this blog for years. It shows that there are visionaries with sensible and practical ideas in our own suburbs and they should be listened to better and taken seriously..
Brad also writes that new development needs to have a diverse range of housing that brings the community together of all ages and incomes, ideally in the same building. This is again something I an others have been pushing for for a long time, because there is a risk that especially the Fremantle CBD could become a yuppy town that is only affordable to those on high incomes, while those who need affordable housing are pushed away to the suburbs where anti-social behaviour often becomes a problem, as recent reports about Hilton and the one on the Iceworks development show.
I would love to see Brad initiate a public forum session on how we can plan and develop Fremantle better, because it is essential to get it right and it should not be left to a few ideology driven who have a big public profile and get all the media attention.
People have been critical of the Fremantle Mayor going on this trip and calling it a junket, but I really enjoy Brad Pettitt's first-hand reporting on those European cities, because we can make them relevant to what we are doing wrong here and improve faster that way.

It is interesting to read in the article by Kate Emery in the West Australian that the City of Vincent council is pushing for changes to the Local Government Act and in a motion have asked the W.A. Local Government Association-WALGA-to suggest the State Government change the act "To enhance governance, transparency, accountability and consistency."
I am all for that as many of the gripes the Fremantle community has with Council are basically all of the above, but it also should apply to State and Federal government where inconsistent governance has become a rule rather than an exception. The community gets very annoyed about piecemeal planning and ad-hoc decision-making.
Transparency buried in spin is also highly annoying, as is hiding behind commercial confidentiality, as the Kings Square project business plan debate has shown.
The City of Vincent also wants changes to the declaration of gifts and restrict gifts to Councillors. At present the maximum gift allowed is $ 300.00 but the City of Perth would like that to be pushed up as far a $ 1,000.00 because otherwise Elected Members would not be allowed to accept free tickets to events that cost more than $ 300.00.
I believe the whole free tickets for Councillors should be scrapped and only two Councillors per event should be delegated as observers and report back to Council. I have seen Facebook posts where Councillors ask who wants to come with them and that is not the way free tickets for Elected Members should be used.
There is no doubt for me that most Councillors work very hard and that it is almost a full time job to be on Council for a remuneration of under $ 30,000 a year, but I would like to see the standards lifted, especially more consistency and much higher transparency. It would keep all the cynicism and negativity away from social media, letters to editors and blogs and that would be a good thing.

It is interesting to hear that Grahame Searle, the Director of the Department of Housing, is moving to a new department that will deal with indigenous issues. Searle is the man who considered to move Housing to Fremantle, but we have heard lately that it is highly unlikely to happen.
The Fremantle community needs to know how much longer the City of Fremantle is going to wait and wait and wait before it pulls the plug on the Kings Square development, because the alleged plans B and C, etc. don't appear to exist. The Kings Square project was going to be the catalyst for the revitalisation of Freo's CBD and the struggling retail sector but it has now become more of a negative than a positive because nothing is happening.
Neither the City nor project partner Sirona Capital are telling us what their plans are. All we hear are promises and that the Mayor is going to have yet another chat with the Premier and that not all is lost yet. Really?
I want to write good and positive stories about the Kings Square development but nothing has been forthcoming but empty promises so far, so no wonder more and more business people and the general community are becoming cynical and very worried about it all.
What would happen with the new Civic Centre if the project did not go ahead? How much money would the community have to fork out to the architects, etc? How much income would have been lost by not leasing out Queensgate for years? So many questions but far too few answers from COF.
The reality is that even if the start of the development was in early 2016 we would not see anyone moving in to the Myer and Queensgate buildings till 2018, and long after that the Spicers site at Henderson street might go ahead.
Waiting longer and hoping and praying for a government department is no longer an option. If a department was to move to Fremantle Premier Barnett would probably make it an election promise for the 2017 election, so that is too far away to wait for.
The City of Fremantle needs to demand urgent action from their project partner or pull out and admit defeat that the project can't go ahead in the present economic climate. It would be a huge shame if that happened but just living in hope without tangible evidence that a major anchor tenant for the Myer building can be found is no longer good enough.

The protest events against the proposed PERTH FREIGHT LINK keep coming and I am certain there will be many more to come as communities along the route are getting more and more aware about the impact it will have on their lifestyle.
This Sunday July 5 Hamilton Hill will have a protest march starting at the Wally Hagen basketball stadium in Starling Street at 3.30 pm followed by a community forum at 5 pm at the RSL Club at 73 Frederick Road, Hamilton Hill.
I keep reading the argument that it is improper to criticise the PFL proposal by State Government when we here in Fremantle would like more support from them, but I believe that is just silly one-eyed political ideology speaking.
For me this is not about politics and Labor versus Liberal or Greens versus Liberal, but all about protecting communities and lifestyle and asking for better solutions. It is what we in Fremantle did when the local government amalgamation process went on and we suggested better boundaries for Freo than initially proposed by the government. We would have got them if East Fremantle had agreed to the amalgamation and if the State Government had not made such a mess off it. Now many communities and Councils are asking for the same consideration.
Please Premier Colin Barnett consider alternative and better solutions, invest to get more freight on rail, start seriously planning for a second port in Cockburn Sound, and don't split communities with a toll road and destroy the very significant Beeliar wetlands.
Roel Loopers
Several hundred people turned up this Sunday morning near Stock Road to express their opposition against the proposed Perth Freight Link Roe 8 highway extension, that would severely impact on communities along the route and the Beeliar wetlands. It would also create traffic chaos in North Fremantle and split communities in half with up to nine-metre-high noise protection walls.
Member for Fremantle Simone McGurk, Member for Willagee Peter Tinley, Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett and the opposition spokesman for the environment, together with members of the public, and a very brave and cute young lady, all spoke out against the proposed road development.
Logan Howlett urged the State Government to implement the Latitude 32 option, as proposed by the City of Cockburn Council, so we need to demand that Premier Colin Barnett changes his attitude and consider Latitude!
Communities all along the route should be very concerned, but so should Mosman Park, Claremont, Swanbourne, etc. as the new road will have a huge impact on their lifestyle as well.
