Do tenants really need renter’s insurance?
As a tenant, who’s responsible for replacing all of your stuff if it gets stolen or damaged? What happens if someone gets injured in your rental property and they want to sue you? These are questions worth asking – and it’s why you should consider taking out renter’s insurance if you’re a tenant. Renter’s insurance usually covers two things – contents, and legal liability. That means it will replace goods that are stolen or damaged, and will protect Peace of mind you from the huge legal costs if an accident occurs at the property you for less than rent – like if someone falls down the $1 a day stairs and injures themselves. If you are renting it is worth considering renters insurance. For a small cost you can have the peace of mind to know that your valuable contents are covered if the unexpected happens. Why not drop into the branch in Sanctuary Point and we can quickly tell you how much peace of mind will cost you, you could be surprised to know that it could be less than $1 per day Until next month Keith Robinson – 4443 9825

7 8 Events JERVIS BAY FASHIONING ART MARITIME MUSEUM FROM WASTE Single use items are just not fashionable anymore – unless you are artist Ruth Downes. An exhibition at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum, Barely Wearable: Body Adornment in the Age of Overconsumption, explores waste and remnant in playful, stylish forms. Taking advantage of our throwaway culture, Ruth creates intriguing wearable pieces that raise the question of what impact and value our garbage could really have. With a background that includes design and public art, Ruth has an eye for pattern, shape and colour. Looking beyond the original purpose of the discarded objects and seeing instead the potential for a statement fashion piece, Ruth’s playful experiments allow the beauty and uniqueness of everyday, throwaway items to be realised. Disposable razors, with their familiar orange plastic handles are assembled to create a bright geometric statement piece, while the discarded keys from an old piano are threaded together to create a new object that is recognisable in element, yet unfamiliar in arrangement. The celebration of these humble, everyday, throwaway items is contrary to their original intended purpose – especially when faced with materials such as coffee pods, beer bottle caps and disposable cutlery – all designed to be immediately discarded after use. But it’s not just rubbish created by humans that Ruth is interested in. The litter shed by plants is also skilfully tamed and arranged, making an organic mess that would breakdown, into a durable and treasured item. Barely Wearable is playful, surprising and thought-provoking exhibition that raises the question of value. At what point does something become rubbish and can this status be reversed if fashioned into something new? Barely Wearable is now open and runs until Sunday 29th November 2020 at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum, Huskisson. www.jervisbaymaritimemuseum.com.au.
