Ryde, NSW 2109 Australia [email protected] This extended introduction to volume 10.2 of Perfect Beat revolves around an Aus- tralian documentary entitled Something in the Water (dir.

The discussion is an example of the dialogue Perfect Beat is seeking to foster amongst the academic community and wider readership. To this end, we take this opportunity to remind readers that smaller contributions (up to 3000 words) to the ‘Riffs’ section of the journal are still welcome, and may well be a suitable place to comment on issues within contemporary culture in the Pacific region.

    GLOUCESTER- GLOUCESTER- www.gloucesterpark.com.au SUMMER 2006 EDITION 3 Telstra Rally Australia Telstra Rally Australia’s Super Special Stage was held at Gloucester Park on the evenings of 26, 27 and 28 October. Record crowds witnessed thrilling rally action and entertainment, including classic car displays, aerial aerobatics, Shannons Motor Expo, Miss Rally Australia fashion parades and 96fm’s Fire Storm fireworks finale. Back at Gloucester Park Friday 3 November was the first week back at Gloucester Park, after two weeks without harness racing for Telstra Rally Australia. It was a great night for racing with the highlight being the $30,000 Alltools Mt Eden Sprint in which The Falcon Strike took first place. On course there was entertainment by Nicollette School of Dance and a prize draw with the winners taking home some fantastic power tools kindly donated by Alltools. Inaugural Melbourne Cup Gloucester Park enjoyed its inaugural Melbourne Cup function in the Beau Rivage restaurant over looking the beautiful Swan River. Guests enjoyed a fantastic afternoon which was hosted by Pip O’Connell from Postcards WA. Weekends Boutique (located in Rokeby Road, Subiaco) showcased a selection of their Spring and Summer Fashions to give guests a taste from their in-store collections of Australian and imported design labels including Verge, Veronika Maine, Ping Pong and Yarra Trail. Mr Ernie Manning, The West Australian’s Senior Racing Journalist, who was at Flemington covering the racing action was kind enough to provide his tips for the race, it was just a shame he didn’t pick the place getters! Some guests were also lucky enough to win door prizes from Weekends Boutique, Perth Wildcats and Cadbury Schweppes.

  • Legislative Assembly
    Legislative Assembly Tuesday, 7 June 2005 ESTIMATES COMMITTEES A & B ESTIMATES COMMITTEE A The meeting commenced at 9.00 am. Division 1: Parliament, $36 915 000 - Mrs D.J. Guise, Chairman. Mr F. Riebeling, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. Mr P.J. McHugh, Clerk of the Legislative Assembly. Mr R. Bremner, Executive Manager, Parliamentary Services. Mr M.D. Crouche, Finance Manager, Parliamentary Services. The CHAIRMAN: This estimates committee will be reported by Hansard staff. The daily proof Hansard will be published at 9.00 am tomorrow. The estimates committee’s consideration of the estimates will be restricted to discussion of those items for which a vote of money is proposed in the consolidated fund. This is the prime focus of the committee. Although there is scope for members to examine many matters, questions need to be clearly related to a page number, item, program or amount within the volumes. For example, members are free to pursue performance indicators that are included in the Budget Statements while there remains a clear link between the questions and the estimates. It is the intention of the Chairman to ensure that as many questions as possible are asked and answered and that both questions and answers are short and to the point. The Speaker may agree to provide supplementary information to the committee, rather than asking that the question be put on notice for the next sitting week. For the purpose of following up the provision of this information, I ask the Speaker to clearly indicate to the committee which supplementary information he agrees to provide and I will then allocate a reference number.
