Star News Group associate editor and author PHIL JARRATT sits down with controversial social reform advocate and lawyer Noel Pearson. The light on the hill Lawyer, academic, historian, land rights ac- tivist, advocate for social reform, provocateur ... Noel Pearson, now 55, has worn many hats over his illustrious and frequently controver- sial career. Perhaps the one that fits him best now is philosopher, and he can be seen wear- ing it as he walks or kayaks along the Noosa River, not far from his home outside Tewantin, lost in his many thoughts. Pearson keeps a low profile in his adopted community, preferring the anonymity of his family’s neighbourhood bubble after more than 30 years as an often-divisive figure at the forefront of Indigenous reforms. “I’m a FIFO fixer these days,” he chuckles. “Fly in, fly out, get home to my bubble.” He grew up on the Lutheran Aboriginal Mis- sion at Hope Vale on Cape York, became the first of his extended family to graduate with double degrees (history and law) from uni- versity and became the “poster child” for the Aboriginal land rights movement in the early 1990s. But it was his branching out into the even more provocative issues of social welfare reform in Aboriginal communities that made him a national figure in the new century, lion- ised and criticised in about equal measure by his people and by the media. Pearson has his detractors, but not even his fiercest critics can deny the power of his ideas and his delivery of them. Through his voluminous writings and the magnificent ora- tory of “The Light On The Hill”, his Ben Chifley Memorial speech in 2000, and his eulogy for Gough Whitlam in 2014, he has become the most passionate and eloquent voice for social justice, black or white, since Charles Perkins.

This was happening before my time, but the big eye-opener for me was when I went to high school in Brisbane. The church opened up high school access before the state, and from 1964 some Hope Vale kids were able to go to boarding school at St Peter’s Lutheran Col- lege. My father’s generation was only allowed to go to school to grade three, then they had to start working at 14. When I went to St Pe- ter’s it was the first time I’d been in the white man’s world. My whole life to that point had been at a remote mission where the only white people were the ones running the place. I’d never known racism, although I had a sense of it when I went into Cooktown as a child, just watching the interaction between our people and white people. We had a certain place in their little town. If you walked past the old Sovereign Hotel in Cooktown you wouldn’t hear words like that? Well, we wouldn’t do that! (Laughs). We had our place. We arrived on the back of the mis- sion truck, we’d go up to the hospital for check- ups, we’d go to the cafe and then go and sit in the park. We had a strict routine and where we could go was very limited. So my aware- ness of racism was very dim until high school, and then I was exposed to it not just within the school but outside as well. The other day I was with my son in Brisbane and we drove past Brisbane Boys College, and I told him I played rugby there, and I’ve never forgotten it. It was a Wednesday afternoon and half the school was on the sidelines calling us abos. Our whole backline was made up of PNG and Aboriginal kids. But we gave as good as we got, and if you were good at sport, you survived. I was good at rugby, basketball and athletics, so I survived. In fact I loved it. Why did you go to Sydney University? To get out of jail. To escape what was now the National Party. Joh was now ascendant, and he had cottoned onto the fact that kicking the blackfellas wasn’t a bad move politically. That tore me up, knowing the good he’d done for us Hope Vale Lutheran Mission, 1950s. Picture: HOPE VALE through the mission, but I realised that he had to be viewed from two angles.

20 BURNETT TODAY Thursday, 7 January, 2021 BurnettToday.com.au RURAL MATTERS Rural Matters AgForce’s 2021 wishlist By AgForce CEO Michael Guerin More than a few of us will be glad to see the back of 2020. Covid’s impact in terms of loss of life, business closures, lockdowns, social isola- tion, and border closures cannot be denied. For agriculture it was largely business as usual, except that the focus on food security and supply was at an all-time high. AgForce helped achieve many wins for ag- riculture when it came to Covid: having agri- culture declared an essential service; working with government to secure the Agricultural Class Exemption; successfully advocating to digitise the exemption pass; removing doubt and uncertainty around movement of agricul- tural workers across the Queensland border. Our wins weren’t confined to Covid though, with drought continuing into its ninth year for many we didn’t take our eyes off this dev- astating issue either, successfully delaying the impact of State Government Drought Reform, identifying that drought affected farmers could access JobKeeper, and securing re-funding of the Emergency Water Infrastructure Scheme. We also had a significant win on live ex- ports, accomplishing through advocacy with other State Farming Organisations a reduction in additional costs of approximately $30 mil- lion within the Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock. Our efforts have also seen further state funding for predator fencing. But with time ended on 2020, let’s look to what our wish list for 2021 might be. Rain and plenty of it is right at the top. Not so much that it causes flooding of course, but several years of good weather seasons that al- low the crops to grow and the livestock to pros- per is definitely number one. Hand in hand with that is our wish for en- during drought policies and programs that ALL Queensland producers can engage with and access with ease. Wins within transport also feature promi- nently, including more funding for upgrades for country rail lines, delivering on the re- quested ‘inland Bruce Highway’, strategic spending on maintenance and infrastructure for key rural and regional freight routes, and a well-funded stock route management system with modern regulation. Covid has brought home the reality of just how easily diseases and organisms can spread, so in 2021 we’d been hoping for no AgForce CEO Michael Guerin Picture: CONTRIBUTED new biosecurity pest and weed incursions into Queensland, the successful eradication of well as recreational use, are definitely on our tioning the Reef.

Finger on the Pulse

Firstly, I’ll explain what a pulse is in culinary terms – a pulse is the edible seed removed from a leguminous pod. The pods can be purchased whole and fresh, but the seeds are often removed and dried prior to sale. So, think of a fresh sweet pea pod as a legume, and a dried split pea as a pulse. Pulses are a cheap source of protein and have become a staple ingredient for many cultures around the world, particularly in countries such as India where millions of people are vegetarian. And, with the growth of whole-foods plant-based (Vegan) eating, sales of various beans have grown considerably. As most pulses are dried, they often need to be soaked in advance (overnight) to make them tender and speed up the cooking process. However, most pulses and beans can be purchased in a can and do not require soaking… which is convenient for the impatient cook (such as myself). Lentil Sloppy Joe • 2 tbsp extra virgin peanut oil • ½ onion, finely diced • 2 cloves garlic, crushed • ½ cup red capsicum, finely diced • 1tsp dried chilli flakes • 1 tsp curry powder • 1 can (400g) crushed tomato • 1 can (400g) brown lentils • pinch seasalt and ground pepper • 4 burger buns

1. In a saucepan heat olive oil on a medium heat, add the onions and gently cook until tender. 2. Add garlic and capsicum; cook for several minutes until capsicum becomes tender. 3. Add chilli flakes and curry powder and cook spices for 2 minutes. 4. Add the can of crushed tomatoes and bring to a gentle simmer. 5. Add drained and washed lentils, cook until mixture has evaporated the liquid and thickened, and season with salt and pepper. 6. Serve on burger rolls. Sliced tomato and shredded lettuce can be an optional extra.
