« *jjj ^ x; This issue represents the final fortnightly edition of Time Off and it is also the last issue to carry a comprehensive "what's on" section. From Vol. 49 No. 7 which will be published on the 28th June, Time Off mil increase in price from 60 cents to 80 cents, but will at the same time contain more pages and a new editorial approach. The new monthly will be concentrating on in depth examinations of major issues affecting us all. However in doing so the magazine will not forego the important role it plays in publishing incisive and independently minded reviews of the South East Queensland cultural scene. You will find not only more high quality reviews of what is happening in film, music, theatre etc. but also first hand accounts of any new local developments in these areas. The longer time gap between issues wOl provide more opportunity for research and reflection. Consequently all readers will benefit from the outcome. We will be carrying extra pages of new cartoons by Matt Mawson and Tim Low, as well as drawings by Wendy Cernak and photographs by Nick Udovic. Don*t be surprised if one day you find a Time 0/jf journalist asking you to put forward (for publication) your own intuitive feelings about the major concerns in your life. Time Off is not a profit motivated, commercial enterprise — instead we are a genuine community magazine seeking to explore with you the most fundamental issues affecting our lives. We try to avoid shallow analysis of state political issues in order to allow a deeper understanding of the available social options to develop. If for example we feel that the Labor Party is failing to tackle this state's problems any more effectively than the Bjelke-Petersen Government then we are not frightened to constructively point out why this is so. (See report page 9 ). But just as we try to^act on your behalf in responsibly reporting the news, all readers of Time Off who appreciate such effort must help maintain our viability by encouraging others who have not yet heard of Time Off to take up a copy and discover what it does offer. Publishing an independently-minded magazine or newspaper is a difficult and often demanding task. We do not possess the extensive resources and staff available to corporation owned newspapers such as the Courier Mail or the National Times^ so we totally rely on your support and goodwill. This is what community media is about. Give us more feedback on what you find of value in any articles we run. And naturally give us your constructive criticisms of what you think the magazine is lacking. In the process of promoting social alternatives, Time Off becomes on^ itself, but as with any alternative we are only of lasting value if what we offer reaches and is understood by not just the "initiated" but the uninitiated as well.

TIME OFF May 31st, 1979 ADVICE TO A POLITICIAN

Do not answer questions: ask them. Do not forget your friends: use them. Do not forget your enemies: use their mistakes. Do not forget yourself: or if you do, deny it.

Have an enemy. That is essential. If you cannot find an "enemy of the people" find ah Enemy of the LaW (the Law has been acquired, piecemeal, by poUticians other than in Queensland). If you cannot find an "Enemy of the Law" make an enemy out of 'priorities' — or by prejudice. Remember: bigotry is only indefeiisible when it is ^ologetic. Hitler showed the poUtical strength of bigotry, MussoUni showed the voting power of prejudice. Leam from them. Of course you do not go so far as that (of course) They got things done though: the Electorate was contented, dissidents could always leave. You wiU find enemies soon enough.

This is a wealthy country, waiting to be exploited. Are you the one to do it? Brazen it out. And remember: justify nothing.

People who live in development brick-veneer bungalows have forgotten entirely whatever was once meant by words like "community". You will go far taking us all with you.

So the safest way to start this mterview would seem to be a question on how he found tiiose audiences. The reply is delivered with sufficient volume to reach the back staUs. Marvellous. Packed houses, screamu^ with laughter. Just what we Uke. And what attracteid Thring to this part in'The Kingfisher"?; The money.

No other reason? There is nothing apart from the money. Considering that Thring is coming back to Brisbane in five months for 'The Man Who Came To Dmner", the..same reasons could probably apply^ to hiis^ accepting this role. .••v^•*^ ":• Not really!

So obviously your hotel room has to be Mgh up enough to get away from traffic noise. It has to be weU away from noisy lifts, and at the end of the corridor so you don't have drunken people faUuig about outsade your door late at night. Obviously the best solution would be an apartment where one could be totally alone, but one needs certain services that hotels can provide - Uke food, and room service to ensure that one is awakened in time for a performance. Thring has a reputation for sleeping through until midday. For his next Brisbane season, he'U be required on stage at 10.30am matinees. The thought is obviously not a pleasant one. Baibaric. What are people douig out at Frank Thring that tune of day anyway?

assumption is that anyone who goes to Wilson can be "treated" for whatever it is that caused him or her to be there in the first place. The person's "condition" can be "assessed" while he or she is in "remand" at Wilson. There is no crime. There is only a bland all embracing social condition in individuals that an institution like Wilson is supposed to help alleviate. Yet the department has its methods of distinguishing different areas of the "non- aiminal" activities that come under its microscope. If a child is remanded it generally means the kid has done something for which it is felt he or she should be punished. tf he or she is placed in an institution for treatment then he or she is seen to be suitable material for programs that could aid the child's reintroduction into society. So while there is officially one attitude to children which denies their criminality, unofficially there is an ambivalent practical attitude and method which recognises that some children commit crimes in the full knowkd^ that that is what they are doing, while others are simply reacting to environmental pressures which cause them to do antisocial acts which on the This is an entrance that is plirases.

~~71 Flying Doctors'~~

The Royal Flying Doctor Service was 50 years old last year. It is the world famous service that started in Cloncurry to bring the healing arts to the isolated people in Australia's outback. On October 8, 1976, another medical service was started at the Cloncurry airport. It was the Inland Medical Centre and it had three aircraft, seven doctors, seven surgeries (three mobile) and 14 staff vehicles. Now it is on the verge of disappearing despite protests from people in an area covering nearly a quarter of Queensland. CALVIN NOACK reports:
