As I listened to the others tell their heart breaking stories, I remember thinking: "This is NOT going to be me. I'm not going to be sitting in this meeting 5 years from now still crying about my dead child." I was going to approach this grief thing just as I had the rest of my life. Give me a book to read. Send me to a therapist. Tell me the steps that I needed to take. I'd follow every piece of advice and I would get OVER this horrible pain…quickly.
I was so naive and so judgmental back then. At first, I would comfort myself that THEIR pain was bigger than my pain. It was the only explanation that I could find that years after their babies' deaths they were still devastated. As time went on and I continued to attend the support group, I revised my original hypothesis. No, MY pain was definitely bigger than their pain.
It took me a very long time to come to the realization that there was more than enough pain to go around and that we all had more pain and sadness than we could bear. It was only by banding together and sharing our pain that we made life more bearable.
After eight years of attending the group every month, I began facilitating that same group. I began to introduce myself to newly bereaved parents as "the long view". Today, my daughter would have been 23 years old. I am still the long view.
I have very little control over the events of my life, but I do control the grace and dignity with which I respond to those events.
I have to grow my dead child just as I grow my live children. My dead child still has birthdays, milestones and anniversaries.
The pain of having a child die never goes away. We learn to live with it and we learn to cope. We rediscover hope.
I am still her parent. As her parent, I will never stop loving her and I will never forget her.
Time does not automatically heal all. I had to put in the hard work. I had to cry. I had to rant. I had to learn that life is not always fair and that I am not entitled to a pain-free, perfect life. As time went on, my family and I round a new normal. We found hope. We found the courage to have another baby. We found the strength to move forward.
I learned to carry my daughter in my heart rather than in my arms. I learned how to look for the gifts that she gave to me if only I would open my eyes to acknowledge them.
My life has been so unbelievably enriched by the experience. Of course, I'd prefer that my baby had lived, but all in all, I'm happy. I have hope. I am a survivor. I am strong and capable. And, I'd like to believe that my daughter has taught me how to live in grace and dignity and perhaps to be a little less judgmental. After 23 years, I am your long view.

Parliament /
Morialta Electorate
Petitions /
South Australian Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme
Broadly, our Aboriginal Affairs Action Plan, identifying 32 specific items with performance measures and deliverables, is an early marker of the very sincere methodology that this government is taking to this part of public policy. There was an announcement earlier this week that the support given to those more than 300 South Australians identified by the assessor as being part of the stolen generations would increase from $20,000 to $30,000. This is not as much as some other jurisdictions but is certainly a substantially increased figure. It was a result of community consultation as to how best to spend the unused funds, at that point in time, from the community program. I think this is a sign of our sincere commitment to ensuring that those people have the best opportunity in life that we can deliver to make up for some of the past wrongs.
As the motion identifies, and as the Premier said in his speech, we absolutely encourage people to read the report by the Independent Assessor, John Hill, on the South Australian Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme. It makes for sobering reading and it makes for serious reading, but I think any South Australian who has an interest in public policy, in our history and in supporting the best outcomes for our entire community would benefit from reading it. It is entirely readable.
I will go to the general observations, where I particularly want to draw to the members' attention a couple of things on pages 39 and 40. I encourage all members and observers to go on and do their own reading. In describing the way that he went about compiling this report, John Hill writes:
It became clear to me…how an applicant was treated after removal bore no relationship at all to the reasons for or method of removal. Children were removed as early as a few days old through to the teens; they were removed with court orders, without court orders, by adoption or by informal fostering arrangements. None of these pathways seem to have produced, in and of themselves, better outcomes. Children were variously placed in (usually) church-run institutions, either on reserves or in the city, placed in foster care or on occasions, adopted.
If they were lucky, they would experience kindness, security and love, regardless of where they were placed or why they were placed there. But, even these lucky ones usually were denied access to family, forbidden to speak language and sometimes were not even aware of their Aboriginality.
The unlucky—the majority—had horrible, even barbaric experiences. The care at best was often indifferent, perfunctory and authoritarian—within both institutions and families. Many children were told that they had been abandoned or that their parents were dead; many in family care were treated as little more than domestic servants; if there were other children in the family they were often the second class citizens, made to eat later with smaller portions, given few new clothes and toys. There is no doubt that some foster carers exploited the welfare payments for Aboriginal foster children to support their own lifestyle.
John Hill concludes that statement by saying:
Just as our returned soldiers are recognised, the Stolen Generations need to be shown continued care and understanding by the community generally, and by government in particular.
I do not think there is a member in this chamber who would disagree with those sentiments or be appalled. I do not think there is a person in our community who would be anything but appalled by the descriptions of the treatments of children. The consequential effects on community, alienation from culture and understanding of place in the world amongst young Aboriginal men and women today has had significant and profound effects, and there are steps that we can take, must take and are taking to address some of those issues.
We said sorry in this chamber 22 years ago and we had the national apology halfway since, 11 years ago. It does do to remind ourselves sometimes of the appalling treatment that has led to individual suffering, individual pain for those people who have been particularly affected as individuals, but I suppose it is more community suffering, such as the loss of language.
The deputy leader talked about leaders, such as Uncle Lewis. I was talking with Uncle Lewis and his son Micky recently about the impact of language in schools and the challenges as we support the teaching of the Kaurna language to people who are eager to learn it, but of course there are so few people who have the capacity to teach it. That is a significant challenge for us and one that we are eager to address.
I asked the question: if we are talking about Aboriginal language, then where is our starting point? And, of course, the first starting point suggested was to start with the land that the school is on. Of course, 70 per cent of our schools in South Australia are on Kaurna land, so that has a particular resonance with the Kaurna language.
I was very pleased when we announced the government's Innovative Language Program Grants late last year. However, of the five primary schools that got those Innovative Language Program Grants—assessed on merit as to the capability of the school to deliver a program that was innovative, that would enrich student and benefit language studies—one was indeed Adnyamathanha in the member for Stuart's electorate, and I know it is working with the University of Adelaide. I think it was Leigh Creek from memory.
The work that is being done in education is critical to addressing this over the longer term, helping to reduce that alienation from culture and increase an understanding of pride in culture, a pride in history and position in the world amongst young people. One of the things that was described by Professor Peter Buckskin—who is the chair of our reference school and who is developing our Aboriginal Education Strategy 2019 to 2029—is that it is not enough for us to do what we can to help a student get ready for school: we also must do what we can to ensure that the school is ready for the student.
There are cultural challenges in that. Sometimes it is challenging for somebody who has had no experience in culture to be able to make that connection, but we as a government, we as an education department—and I am sure the opposition supports this—are working very hard to fulfil our Aboriginal Education Strategy. We have funded support to ensure that that cultural support is there and for our staff to be ready to give those students the support they need.
I commend the government's Aboriginal Action Plan to all those in the chamber, and not only the 32 actions there but also the Aboriginal Education Strategy. We have a 10-year set of goals with some very ambitious targets. We want to see young Aboriginal people in our community have the same educational outcomes as a proportion of the rest of the population.
It is heart-wrenching to even say the words that that is an ambitious goal. It should not be an ambitious goal, yet it is understandably so. But how can our aspiration be anything less for our Aboriginal young people and for South Australia as a community? So that is our goal. We have shorter term targets and a road map to supporting those students to have that achievement.
We are investing significantly in identifying challenged groups to get extra support. We are investing in the South Australian Aboriginal Sports Training Academy (SAASTA). Indeed, they are extending their remit. I understand that they desire now to call themselves the secondary training academy, as we are extending beyond just sports training to STEM education and other forms of education.
We are supporting the Clontarf Foundation, which has enabled us to engage extra resources from the federal government and from the private sector for a group of students—young boys in particular—who would not be eligible for the support that SAASTA provides, to get them back into school and back into education using the opportunity created by some of their heroes in the football field. They have access to football training, but to get it you have to be working at school.
There is a lot of work to do here, but in December, of course, we had the appointment of South Australia's first ever Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People. At a personal level, I am particularly pleased that April Lawrie did well and got the role because, of course, we have been working with her all year on the development of the Aboriginal Education Strategy, as the former director of Aboriginal education in the education department. April has been in place for a couple of months now. She has a significant body of work ahead of her, and I have great confidence in her capacity to impact real change in the way that government does its business. I think that there is a strong body of work ahead there.
I commend the motion to the house. I thank all those people who, at potentially significant personal challenge to themselves, contributed to the assessor's report, shared their stories with the assessor and continue to engage with government to ensure that the next generations have a better time of it and a better life, and we as a government are committed to supporting that.
Mr HUGHES (Giles) (12:27): I rise today to add a few words and to acknowledge the strong bipartisan support for this motion. Not only do we have the tabling of the report of the South Australian Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme but also yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the national apology by the then prime minister, Kevin Rudd, reflecting the views of many people in our community. I do not want to reflect upon the resistance at the time by some to that apology in our national parliament. The important thing is that the apology was made and the sentiments expressed did have widespread support across the major political parties and some of the smaller political parties.
South Australia is at its best when it does lead, and it is worthwhile reminding ourselves that it is 22 years, as the member for Morialta pointed out, since this parliament made an apology to the stolen generations. The report and the actions that are going to be taken are a practical manifestation of both that apology and the words in this chamber. It is worthwhile reflecting on the words of the Hon. John Hill in the introduction to the report. He said:
There is much for government and society, in general, to reflect on and learn in relation to the policies and practices that produced the Stolen Generations—the Apology, the Bringing Them Home Report and the establishment of the Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme were all important steps; but they are but small steps on the road to Reconciliation; the intergenerational impacts are profound and need sustained and culturally sensitive attention.
For far too many years the trauma arising as a result of children being taken away from their families was not addressed, and when trauma is not addressed it cascades down through the generations in all sorts of forms. One of the most disturbing things—and there were a lot of disturbing things—was to hear a woman who was taken as a young child. As a result, she found it incredibly difficult to love. She said that she lacked the capacity to love and so, when she had children, that impact was there: it impacted on her children. That shows one way in which this trauma, this injustice, has cascaded down the generations.
The breakfast yesterday in honour of the 11th anniversary was attended by a lot of people, as these breakfasts always are. Probably 1,500-plus people were there and, as has been said, it was good to see students from a number of schools attend the breakfast and maybe get some insight into what happened.
Those opposite have acknowledged the Welcome to Country from Suzanne Russell on that day, and it was a moving, powerful Welcome to Country. We often say that a picture can paint a thousand words, but music often goes beyond words and touches something incredibly deep. To listen to the music yesterday from Vonda was deeply moving and deeply touching.
In the question and answer session was a man I consider a bit of a legend, Uncle Jack Charles. He was taken away from his family at a young age to the point where early on in his life he did not know that he was Aboriginal. He is a man who has clearly been through a lot, including homelessness and being a user of heroin until the age of 60. He talked about how he was a cat-burglar, amongst other things. His was the story of a life shaped by much that had happened in the early part of his life when he had absolutely no control.
He did not deny agency or deny choices he had made, but those choices were made in a particular context at a particular time. To see someone who came through that, there was obviously a resilience there. I thought the humour, self-deprecation and his capacity to reach out in an extremely open and honest way in telling his story was incredibly important. If you have not seen the short documentary about his life, I would encourage you to do so. He is now a man who makes a contribution in so many ways by going back to the prisons in which he served, amongst other prisons, and various centres where juveniles are held to tell his story in a way that hopefully people can understand and respond to.
I think the words of the apology 11 years ago are worth reflecting upon. I am not a particularly articulate person. You can make of prime minister Rudd whatever you want, but the point is that he did make that apology and that government did make that apology. I know at the time it would have been supported by a significant number of people on the other side of the chamber. His words were:
The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia's history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future.
We apologise for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians.
We apologise especially for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, their communities and their country.
For the pain, suffering and hurt of these Stolen Generations, their descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry.
To the mothers and the fathers, the brothers and the sisters, for the breaking up of families and communities, we say sorry.
And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture, we say sorry.
These are incredibly important words. I would just like to finish by mentioning the Hon. John Hill and the work, the effort and the sensitivity with which he approached the task he was given. He spoke to a lot of people during this process. I think there were 449 applicants of whom he spoke directly to 352, and just a small number of those stories are reflected in the report. The member for Morialta and others have indicated that it would pay people to read the report and some of those personal stories.
I would like to commend the Hon. John Hill but, as he said, the people who should really be commended are those who came forward and all those who suffered as a result of those past policies. We do need to learn from what has happened because we have a tendency to repeat transgressions in different forms as we go on. I commend the motion and the strong bipartisan support for the motion.
Mr DULUK (Waite) (12:36): I also rise to say a few words on the Premier's motion before the house in relation to the report by the Independent Assessor, the Hon. John Hill, in terms of the South Australian Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme. I am glad, as I think are all sides of the house, that this has now become a bipartisan issue.
For much of the last parliament, the then government did not want to take serious steps in terms of appropriate reparations on this matter. The original bill was introduced in the upper house back in 2014 as a result of the work of the Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee, which I now serve on. I recall saying back in 2015 that the bill was about righting the historical wrong of forcibly removing children from their parents solely on the basis of the colour of their skin.
As the Premier and the Minister for Education remarked in their contributions, I urge members to take the opportunity to get their hands on the report and read the applicants' submissions, their experiences and what they went through. One of the important lessons that we have perhaps learned from the wrongs of the past is around the taking away of language, the importance of language to people and what language means. The more we can do to preserve language for this nation—any language but, in this context, Indigenous language—is so important for the identity of so many people.
As a government, we have talked so much about the wrongs of the past, and it is important. I give full credit to the Premier as the minister responsible for the balance of funds in the reparations scheme. Some additional $10,000 will be given to the 312 successful applicants under the scheme as part of the residual tail in funding. What is important is what we can do, in terms of practical steps going forward, to further walk down the path of reconciliation. It is not just a statement of acknowledgement, which is so important, but a statement of what more needs to be done.
We must also acknowledge that there is dysfunction in many Indigenous communities. There are standards of living, standards of crime and standards of health outcomes that we just would not accept in any other community in Australia. It is our job, in government and in those communities, to collectively, practically and hastily correct a lot of those social ills. It is important to do so. Bearing in mind that we have recognised the sins of the past, it is the responsibility of us all to ensure that Australians, no matter where they live, have the best possible outcomes going forward.
Going back to the language component, the teaching and continuation of language and culture is so important to so many of us, no matter where we come from. That plays an important role in terms of reconciliation.
The Prime Minister is today speaking about Closing the Gap, which addresses some of the recommendations that came out of the national apology 11 years ago. The 11th Closing the Gap report is being handed down today and reveals a decade-long failure to meet so many of the targets that were set 11 years ago in relation to health, education, employment and life expectancy outcomes for Indigenous communities. These targets have not been met, and that is a failing of federal, state and local governments and a failing of our Australian community more broadly.
As part of the Closing the Gap initiatives announced by Prime Minister Morrison today, a huge injection of education funding—$200 million—is to be implemented into 300 schools across the nation in order to keep Indigenous children in school and to design our whole education system. One thing I always talk about in this chamber is how providing the right education to all Australians is a great way of lifting people out of poverty and other circumstances and empowering individuals to make the right choices. In his contribution, the member for Giles referred to Uncle Jack and making the right choices in people's lives.
I commend the work of Reconciliation SA in promoting reconciliation and healing the rift between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. I am proud to be a board member and parliamentary representative, along with the member for Giles. Reconciliation SA also looks at practical ways in which we can raise recognition, and the need for our communities to work together and stand together.
I commend the recent work of this government, and specifically the Premier for his whole-of-government approach to reconciliation. This side of the house believes it should no longer be a symbolic term and gesture, or a politically correct echo chamber platitude, but a practical component, which is so important. Having a whole-of-government approach and ensuring that government departments in their entirety have an Indigenous focus is so important. As I said at the beginning of my contribution, an important part of reconciliation is recognition of stolen generations and additional funding by way of reparations.
Governments cannot solve all the problems in this policy area, and nor should they be seen as the sole body that can do so. In the past year, the Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee received a lot of evidence from Aboriginal communities all around South Australia, including from your communities, Deputy Speaker. In the evidence presented to our committee, in terms of the operational review of the Aboriginal Lands Trust Act, one of the overwhelming views was the right to autonomy and the right to the responsibility to make decisions for themselves. I think it is so important that we as the state government ensure that every single South Australian is treated equally and given the rights and responsibilities they need to make the correct choices in their own lives.
In closing, I encourage members to obtain a copy of the Report of the South Australian Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme. I thank the Independent Assessor, the Hon. John Hill, for his work. More importantly, I thank those individuals—I think there were some 400-odd individuals who applied under the scheme and 312 successful applicants—for coming forward, for sharing their stories and for allowing themselves to be in some way acknowledged for the hurt caused to them and their families for no reason other than where, when and why they were born.
Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (12:45): I also rise to make a short contribution to note that the Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme report has been received. It is a small step on the road to reconciliation but a critical part of the healing process for our First Nation people who have been here for many generations going back 65,000 years. It has been a massive disruption in that time line for so many, so it is an important step that has been brought to us by the Independent Assessor, the Hon. John Hill.
I commend Mr Hill for the thoroughness of his work and the content of the report itself. I note in the report that, to satisfy the need for accountability and transparency, he had to outline the processes undertaken, but that would really be an injustice to the stories of so many people that are part of that. So, rather than being just a bland document, it does outline many of the stories of people who were affected by this, to ensure that it is a real account.
In regard to how this report came to be received in this parliament here in South Australia, it goes back many years but, in terms of the path to reconciliation, one of the first steps was in the federal parliament with the Bringing Them Home report tabled in 1995. That was an inquiry into the stolen generations and the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. The report itself made many recommendations, including recording testimonies of people and about how important it is that people's stories are heard, acknowledging that, and an apology, a commemoration, and education for the wider Australian community about the hurt and suffering experienced, including assisting Aboriginal people to learn their language again.
We heard the member for Waite saying that one of the real disruptive elements of this is the loss of language. I have certainly noticed in my time in public office, first as mayor and now as the member for Morphett, the growing awareness around the Kaurna language in the area we are living in on the Kaurna plains, and how there is a significant effort made by Indigenous people to relearn their language and hear it spoken as well. It certainly tries to reinstitute that link.
Finally, getting back to the Bringing Them Home report, another recommendation was that compensation, as a lump sum, be considered. While you can never use money as a way to try to recompense for the hurt and suffering people have gone through, the main rationale for this national compensation was so that they did not have to go to court to be compensated. Significantly, two days later in May 1997, after that report was tabled here in the South Australian parliament, an apology was given by the then South Australian minister for Aboriginal affairs, Dean Brown, who was later to become premier. It stated:
…to the children who were taken from their mothers and fathers, to the mothers and fathers who watched in pain as their babies and children were taken from their side or from their schools. To those people, we apologise.
That was an important next step for people but, while apologies are certainly important, continuing action is also required. Out of that, public education is obviously required. Further to that, in 2010 the Hon. Tammy Franks introduced the Stolen Generations Reparations Tribunal Bill in an attempt to take up one of the recommendations from the Bringing Them Home report. This led to a parliamentary inquiry into the reparations scheme, which was initially taken up in a bipartisan fashion, certainly by this side of the house. Ultimately, the former government established the reparations scheme, which has now become the responsibility of our government to complete. Originally, a $20,000 ex gratia payment was envisaged to those affected, having South Australia as their origin. This is a very important next step.
The other part to this report that I think is important is that it also documents the statements of many of the applicants. In fact, there were 449 applicants to this scheme and the Independent Assessor met with over 300 of them. Reading some of the stories in the report really was a tale of sadness. The stories that were put onto paper were harrowing. The Hon. John Hill stressed that it is important to see them as survivors, not as victims. Also, he noted that it was important to acknowledge their generosity of spirit. Again, as the Hon. John Hill said, rather than trying to tell their story, it is best to let some of the worst affected of this stolen generation tell their own story.
One lady was taken from her mother whilst very young. The unfortunate thing about this was that she was given to adoptive parents and those adoptive parents divorced, and this led to the child being put into an orphanage. It just beggars belief what benefits the authorities could have ever expected from of a child being taken away from its birth mother and then left in an orphanage. I will tell her story in her words:
[In this orphanage] Every week new children turned up, fresh from the desert—
They were told they were there for an education—
…but us children, young as we were, we knew that the only education they wanted was hunting and gathering.
She goes on to say:
On one occasion I came across two tiny children two and three years of age who had just arrived from the desert. They were cowering and sobbing in the corner of the huge dominating foyer with a massive staircase and balustrade. I was only young myself, 11 or 12. I got down on my hands and knees and stretched out my hand to them to try and coax them out of the corner…seeing them cowering there, terrified, has haunted me my whole life…I sobbed myself to sleep—yet again.
These are tales of sadness. Unfortunately, when she found her original birth mother, she was informed that she was of the Narungga people of Point Pearce.
…I have documentation which traces my family back four generations and I have been told that I am the fourth generation to be stolen. So my mother, my mother's mother and her mother were all forcibly removed.
As I have said, there was massive disruption of this proud culture. Young children, 11 and 12 years old, were taking the place of mothers for even younger children. It is very hard to comprehend how this could be seen as beneficial to them. She further states:
NO ONE IN MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD EVER SAID 'I LOVE YOU'…NO ONE EVER GAVE ME A HUG.
NO ONE EVER ASKED ME 'HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY?'
BECAUSE NO ONE CARED!
These are harrowing stories and there are further stories. Just to bring home this story of sadness, two young sisters were brought into another orphanage and separated. If I could just highlight a statement within the report:
The children so strong, so versatile in times of adversity playing and working throughout the days, at night the muffled sounds of crying for home, scared and alone with no hope no voice.
Children grieving, waiting for scheduled family visits. Some lucky, some not. Sadness prevailed, hope diminished each time.
Putting the stories of people into this report really brings home the disruption and dislocation experienced by the stolen generations. Hopefully, this reparation is a step. I will finish by acknowledging what the Hon. John Hill said, and I quote:
There is much for government and society, in general, to reflect on and learn in relation to the policies and practices that produced the Stolen Generations [and the steps that have been taken now] are but small steps on the road to Reconciliation; the intergenerational impacts are profound and need sustained and culturally sensitive attention.
It really is important that this government continues with that in mind. I note that the Premier is very involved. He is the first Premier to take on the responsibility of the Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation portfolio, and it is an important portfolio. He has done this to ensure that it is front of mind across all government agencies. If all in this house could continue to keep it front of mind, it can only be beneficial and will help in the road to reconciliation.
Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (12:56): I rise also to support the motion and to commend the Premier and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in this place, as the member for Morphett has observed, on his motion today to note the report of the South Australian Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme by the Hon. John Hill.
I have listened carefully to the debate this morning and this afternoon on the motion, and I wholeheartedly endorse and amplify all the observations of honourable members to date. I do not propose to repeat them, but I encourage all of us here, and all South Australians, to read and to absorb some of the personal stories expressed in the report. There are so many.
We must take the important step to go about the process of implementing the reparations scheme and that we do so fairly and diligently as a government. I commend the government for its work in that direction so far. I will say a few words later in my remarks about the Aboriginal Affairs Action Plan that was launched by the Premier at the end of last year, which will take this forward.
I propose to make some remarks about the history of Indigenous relations in this state, including some of its very positive aspects dating back to the beginning of the colony and also some of the more shameful episodes we have unfortunately encountered. It is true that the history of South Australia is a history that differs in some ways from that of the federated Australia post 1901. It is important to note that our endeavours to relate, to engage, to understand and ultimately to reconcile have followed a journey in this state that is its own journey. I seek leave to continue my remarks.
Leave granted; debate adjourned.
Sitting suspended from 12:59 to 14:00.

LA's Teenage Pop-Punk Phenom Releases Record "Socially Distance"
LA born Mystery Rose-aka Zoe Rose- graces us with her debut album Socially Distant today, October 15th, 2021. The young star has been on the scene for two years, dropping five singles since the ripe age of 16 years old. Rose cultivated the songs on her new album under the tutelage of musician-producer Dan West (d'Animal, LoveyDove, Sidewalk Society) and has been praised for her vulnerability and rawness in her lyrics. Rose shows how dynamic she is from the get-go, her lead single "Stability" is a gut punch of nostalgia and sentimentality followed up by "Lovebirds on the Weekend," a straight-up rock banger, full of crunchy electric guitar and a screw you attitude. Deployed in torch ballads and pop-punk numbers, her wise-beyond her-years songwriting imbues the 11 songs with beauty.
Although she has obviously grown up with millennial pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Mystery Rose sets herself apart with emo pop-punk twists worthy of Mitski or Soccer Mommy, complemented by Dan West's spot-on arrangements. Mystery Rose commands the kineticism of youth while realizing there are some lessons people never stop learning. Rose opened up about the new album to Ghettoblaster Magazine, "the album is a reminder of the isolation we all felt during the Covid-19 lockdowns. Many of the songs were written specifically to that theme and recorded from a distance […] 'Take Me Back' takes you on a journey of yearning for the past, even though I am only eighteen. […] The album concludes with 'Just Gonna Walk This Lonely Road.' This song sums it all up nicely. The song allows us to each surrender to the fact that we were all lonely and 'the past is the present now.'"
With these songs, she does just that, holding space for nostalgia, anger, and reckoning alike." All of the songs have a theme of isolation, loneliness and break ups. However, there is also a feeling of acceptance," she explains. While under the guidance of musician-producer Dan West, who produced Socially Distant from, a, well, social distance, Rose felt herself emboldened. West had helped Rose realize not only her talent but her desire to make music early on. "I was intrigued with him immediately because he acted more like a student than an adult and always had two fistfuls of coffee," Rose laughs. Working with West, Rose has been steadily writing and recording. She's dropped five singles since 2018, and they've caught the ears of Indie Alliance DJ's, including Rodney Bingenheimer, whose "Rodney on the ROQ" show launched a host of legendary artists (Blondie, Joan Jett, Nirvana.)
Mystery Rose's songs are commanding attention with good reason. On Socially Distant, Rose reaches deeper into her storytelling, releasing a powerful arsenal of timely songs whose themes are evergreen. West's arrangements support the versatility of Rose's singing and writing. Throughout, she stays true to her love of live instruments, not including any programmed beats on the album. Rose has a backing band as well and is eager for venues to re-open.
Rose says lead single "Stability" is "about relationships. No matter who breaks things off, it affects your stability and your confidence about moving forward in another relationship. The lyrics revisit the happy parts of a relationship alongside memories of feeling pain—and of causing it. "Chances are you can't see / you are messing with my stability / eternally," Rose sings. The verses, built on guitar strums and a softly emotive voice, give way to an up-tempo, drum-driven chorus.
Later, "Picture Perfect" takes listeners on a sweeping journey with dramatic twists and turns of tuneful exuberance that will leave no heartstrings un-tugged. The chorus finds Rose's voice sounding both ethereal and rich. "It is about seeking that perfect state of balance," Rose explains. The song shows off her vocal range and ability to pull off high-production ballads, all while eloquently capturing a moment.
While the songs on Socially Distant run the sonic gamut, they're clearly written by the same deft hand, felt by the same bruised heart, and sung by a voice that has a lot more to say.

The Leschi neighborhood is hot: so hot that a stripped down (way, way down) fixer like this one can ask $899K.
The home, originally built in 1957, has mid-century curb appeal. Such appeal disappears inside the home, where walls, floors, and windows are all absent.
Should windows return, the listing promises that there are "possible lake views."
The property offers a 5,438 square foot lot with the existing structure taking up 2,560 of those square feet. The listing bills this existing structure as three beds, 2.5 baths, though the only real evidence of such is a lone and remarkably unscathed toilet (pictured in gallery, above).
Still, for the right person, 311 35th Avenue might be an amazing opportunity. It's already down to the studs, so it's essentially a blank canvas.
And, though $899,000 is a lot for such an extreme fixer, this price equals out to $351 a square foot. The current median price-per-square (based on sales in the last 30 days ) in this popular neighborhood is $488.
The property last sold in 2016 for $719,000.
When the average sale-to-list price ratio is 106 percent in Leschi, we have to wonder what 311 35th Avenue might sell for now.


IT was hardly a fitting match to mark the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Liverpool's first game.
That 7-1 win against Rotherham Town in 1892 was the start of the Reds' glorious history, which includes being champions of Europe on five occasions.
But there was nothing remotely glorious about this match at an unusually-subdued Anfield.
Not that Burnley were complaining as they maintained their unbeaten start to the season away from home with another excellent performance.
They took the lead through Scott Arfield and after Mohamed Salah had equalised for the home side, Sean Dyche's men could have won it.
Ben Mee produced two late headers from successive Robbie Brady corners which caused panic for Liverpool.
The first was headed off the line by Joel Matip and the second was blocked by Reds keeper Simon Mignolet.
Liverpool, with Philippe Coutinho starting for the first time since he was blocked from joining Barcelona, at least picked up the point which made it 1,000 at home in the Premier League. But this will still be viewed as two points dropped.
Dyche, though, was understandably delighted. He admitted: "You've got to defend well in the Premier League, but particularly at places like this.
"They made seven changes, but were still throwing on players who cost fortunes.
"But we are doing better away from home because we are learning about the Premier League. It's not just what I am doing, but what the players are doing.
"We came here to make it uncomfortable for Liverpool. Everyone tells you they are struggling from set pieces and we nearly won it from a couple of those situations.
There was a big focus before the match on Liverpool's defensive record, just a week after their 5-0 beating at Manchester City.
Boss Jurgen Klopp stated before the match that he's happy to shoulder the blame for the goals conceded.
But he was clearly unhappy with his back four - and central defenders Matip and Ragnar Klavan in particular - when Burnley took the lead in the 26th minute.
Brady climbed well to win James Tarkowski's long ball in the air, Chris Wood challenged and the centre of the Liverpool defence opened up invitingly for Arfield to race through and stroke the ball into the far corner of the net.
Klopp was feeling better, though, three minutes later when Liverpool hit back with a quick equaliser.
Some Liverpool fans thought their side had taken the lead in the 41st minute when Daniel Sturridge's left-foot strike crashed into the netting.
But celebrations were cut short when everyone realised Sturridge had hit the side netting from Coutinho's perfectly-weighted pass.
Burnley keeper Nick Pope, in for the injured Tom Heaton, then held on to a low effort from the adventurous Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Coutinho adopted a shoot-onsight policy as Liverpool stepped up the pressure and his lead was followed by Can.
The German midfielder produced an effort which was too hot to hold for Pope - later booked for time wasting - but Burnley managed to survive on that occasion at the expense of a corner.
Pope then beat out a rocket of an effort from Sturridge as the England striker cut in from the right before striking the ball left-footed.
The Clarets keeper saved well again from Alexander-Arnold six minutes from time as Liveroool made a late charge to win it.
And two minutes later, Pope superbly turned substitute Dominic Solanke's close-range effort on to the underside of the bar, after Liverpool had appealed for a penalty when Mee challenged Salah.
As the tension increased, Can and Burnley's Jack Cork were cautioned when they clashed in added time.

And St Molleran's Club congratulates Carrick Swan player Gerry Walsh on his great success as a member of the Tipperary Intermediate hurling team that won the All-Ireland title last week. The corner back gave a brilliant individual display of hurling in the final.

Born out of necessity, Mukuru plots fintech expansion across Africa
by Adriaan Kruger
Mukuru started 17 years ago as a solution to a problem two Zimbabwean immigrants faced in London.
Born out of necessity, Mukuru has grown from a remittances platform into an international fintech company. Now, it is looking to expand into East and West Africa, and expand flows between Africa and Asia.
In 2004, Mukuru's founders couldn't find an affordable, easy and secure way of sending money and goods to their families in Zimbabwe.
"In many instances, people had to rely on informal means to remit money to family back home," says Mukuru chief information officer Sandy Rheeder. The founders identified a niche in millions of people who did not have a basic bank account but needed to do an international banking transaction involving foreign currency.
The formal banking system is largely inaccessible for migrants, many of whom have difficulty providing formal proof of earnings, an address or even acceptable identity documents. It's also very expensive.
"It can cost up to R600 for a single transaction to transfer money internationally through the banking sector, and can take several days," says Rheeder.
To find a solution to this, Mukuru built mobile and web-based technologies to enable migrants and immigrants working in the UK and EU countries, as well as SADC countries, to send money to family in their home country across Africa.
Capturing the intra-African cross-border flows and adding products such as groceries, airtime, DStv and electricity purchases has seen Mukuru develop into a fintech company.
"Other companies have not managed to capture this segment of the market as a pan-African player," says Rheeder.
Giving an identity to the unbanked
To reach the unbanked, Mukuru sought out a new way to capture proof of identity and address. Working with the South African Reserve Bank, a process was approved where Mukuru agents capture and verify documents (such as passports and asylum papers) at a customer's place of residence, eliminating the need for customers to travel long distances to send money home.
"Instead of being an obstacle, compliance becomes an enabler," says Rheeder.
"Another trend that developed over time is that money is no longer only flowing one way, say from SA to neighbouring countries like Zimbabwe and Malawi. We see it going both ways.
"Two-way trade is growing, whether it be to buy consumer goods in another country or to pay for the import of farming machinery, seeds and fertiliser," she adds.
Mukuru says it has more than 320 000 pay-in and pay-out partners including banks, retailers and cellular providers in all the African countries it services. In SA, these include the likes of Shoprite subsidiaries, Pick n Pay, and Pep stores.
COVID-19 has accelerated the uptake of online financial services and new technology – sometimes because it is the only option available.
Rheeder says Mukuru currently facilitates millions of transactions each year. These include remittances of cash, and even the distribution of financial aid on behalf of various organisations.
"We do not innovate and launch new technologies purely for the sake of innovation or to create something new, but to make a difference in the lives of people. We listen to our customers and find solutions to their unique problems," Rheeder says.
Mukuru's next step is growing its offering into East and West Africa as well as expanding flows from Africa to Asia. The company's growth activities, including strategic global partnerships with leaders in their respective fields, are all aimed at providing an ecosystem of relevant solutions for customers. – Moneyweb

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • "A twist-and-turn whodunit, set in a five-star hotel, from the perspective of the maid who finds the body. Think Clue. Think page-turner."—Glamour
NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE • ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—Glamour, W magazine, PopSugar, The Rumpus, Book Riot, CrimeReads, She Reads
Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by.
Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life's complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection.
But Molly's orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what's happening, Molly's unusual demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it's too late?
A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

The book is ok, i did enjoy it. However it had a slow start. The ending is a shock but also a disappointment. They build a character and then turned it into a twisted person. Read it
couldn't put it down!
By purpellie
This book unfolded in a way that I did not expect it to. The scene was set beautifully, and I found myself feeling bad for the main character. I, in fact, also found myself underestimating her like the rest of the characters. Like every good mystery, there was a twist at the end and everything turned out alright. Great story!
So good I couldn't put it down.
By OKByMe#3
Refreshingly unusual lead character, wonderful writing. Too good to stop until finished.
Very disappointing
By tallsuperboy
The pace is very slow with so many unnecessary details which take up half the book which is 200 pages. Molly was so annoying and she brought up her grandma on every which got repetitive. The ending made little to no sense when you line it to Mollys action from the beginning. Basically nothing happens except from 10 pages out of 400. The killer reveal was cool but at then end anticlimactic. Honestly it's just a waste of time
In a word…stunning.
By law23333
The writing was beautifully done. The story had many twists and turns. Highly addictive, hard to put down.
By hdhwfgjh da usjsvdu
I love this book I'm not much of a book reader but this book inspires me
Highly engaging
By WWKeep
The author created a character so lovable, so intriguing that us readers are compelled to read on. One could say this is a murder mystery involving greed, ambition, drugs, and deceit, but that would miss the point entirely. A wonderful read!
A look into a surprising kaleidoscope
By T Xmas
I was sort of put off when I began reading. The style and VOICE of the character was a bit to digest. I found it plodding until the plot revealed the nefarious undercurrent. I read the whole thing and am happy I saw it through.
By msgtb
This book might have been marketed as a Young Adult choice. It has some charm, but is otherwise predictable, and not particularly clever. I think the author means to suggest that the main character is on the spectrum, and bright but oblivious to social clues. The author doesn't stay consistent to that theme though, allowing the main character to be both mailable and keen enough to maneuver the ending.
Disappointing read
By fixtheproblem2019
I was super excited to read the book but to my surprise the book was not good at all. It had a very slow pace for the first half and only started to get interesting towards the end. Molly maid was supposed to be a normal awkward quirky maid in this hotel and the first half of the book (which was really slow ) made it seem she was also very oblivious to her surroundings. Which is exactly why the ending did not make sense at all because they were too many holes in the book. The details were put in the wrong places.

With Full Setup, one of our trained inspectors will visit your site and inspect all of your development's building elements, common property and infrastructure and write up a description and condition assessment of each.
He will also create a list of recommended jobs and their cost, a funding cashflow table and include everything else that makes your plan a fully compliant, high quality document.
But the big advantage of a Plan Heaven plan, is that it will be setup in an awesome online tool that's a breeze to update and manage.
Choose this option when you are new to Plan Heaven and need your plan set up for the first time.
But if you have a small development with not much maintenance going on, check out the Account Access Only option. It's just the ticket for you to prepare and manage a fully compliant DIY plan.
Update options are only available in the second or subsequent years after your plan has been initially set up in Plan Heaven.
Choose the Site Visit Update option when you would like us to update your plan in any year and that update is to include another site visit by one of our trained inspectors.
With this option, our inspector will review and update all jobs and job costs based on new observations, updated costings, work carried out over the past year and any changes to the plan requested by the body corporate..
However, if not much has changed and you would like to reduce the cost of your update, you could consider one of the other two update options .
Choose this option when you want to update your plan in any year but the update doesn't warrant another site inspection.
From our desk, we will review and update all jobs and job costs based on updated costings and information provided by the body corporate. This will include work carried out over the past year, any proposed new jobs and rescheduling of jobs from year to year.
This is an option that allows you to have a fully updated plan at a reduced cost because you current plan only needs a few tweaks and the Plan Heaven app is a breeze to update.
Choose this option if you don't want to update your plan in any one year.
Alternatively you can update it yourself, by sitting down with the your committee and working out the changes you want to make, then logging in to your Plan Heaven account and following the online tutorials.
This option can also be chosen in the first year by any body corporate that would like to set up their plan themselves in Plan Heaven and operate their account on a full DIY basis.
Plan Heaven has been designed to be intuitive for DIY'ers to use and we're also only an email or phone call away if you need help.

Why does HKL use electricity generated using renewable energy sources?
Electricity production using wind and hydropower does not generate carbon dioxide emissions or waste. Water and wind are also renewable energy sources, the capacities of which can be further increased.
The strategic goal in HKL's objective programme for 2010–2015 is for HKL's rail traffic to remain the environmentally friendliest means of transport in the region. In accordance with the objective programme, HKL is committed to improving energy efficiency in its transport services as well as at its premises.
HKL's operations emphasize the assessment of environmental impacts and the continuous development of environmental management. In 2013, HKL began the preparation of an activity management system. The activity management system covers the management of quality, the environment, and occupational health and safety. The activity management system will be certified by 2015.
Is hydropower harmful to the environment?
Hydropower is a renewable and globally climate-friendly form of energy production, which does not generate direct carbon dioxide emissions.
However, hydropower production does result in local harmful impacts to water systems, which have to do with changes in their natural state, such as the construction of artificial lakes and the disruption of the natural travel routes of fish. However, the passage of migratory fish can be ensured with the use of fish ladders constructed in connection with hydropower plants.
Hydropower has significant potential in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
Hydropower production can be easily and quickly adjusted, which is why it is used especially in load-following. In other words, hydropower production is increased during periods of peak consumption and reduced during periods of low consumption. Load-following hydropower plants can also be used to replace load-following coal plants that cause carbon dioxide emissions. Hydropower generation can also be easily increased by expanding the capacity of existing hydropower plants.
According to lifecycle models, a hydropower plant operating in cold climate generates 15 g/kWh of indirect carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide emissions generated by hydropower are some 50 times lower than the emissions generated by alternative energy production methods that utilise fossil fuels.

Is wind power production harmful to the environment?
Wind power is fuel-less energy, which does not generate emissions into the air, water or soil. However, as is the case with all forms of energy production, wind power does have some negative environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of wind power can be divided into impacts related to the construction of wind power plants, their operation and decommissioning.
The operational impacts of wind power have to do with landscape perspectives as well as the sound and movement of lights and shadows caused by the rotation of turbine blades.
The operation of a wind power plant does not impact the surrounding vegetation. However, wind power plants may impact their surrounding wildlife. The most significant environmental impact caused by the operation of wind power plants is their impact on bird populations. However, according to studies, migratory birds in particular learn to avoid wind power plants, and the presence of wind power plants has not been shown to reduce the sizes of bird populations nesting near the plants.
Finland's wind power capacity could be expanded significantly, and new wind power plants could be constructed out at sea, for example, which would minimise their landscape and sound impact. As the production of natural wind energy increases, so too does the security of the electricity supply, which in turn reduces the amount of harmful emissions into the air.
The carbon dioxide emissions of wind power production are only some 10 g/kWh, consisting mainly of emissions caused by the construction, assembly, transportation and maintenance of wind power plants. Considering the structure of Finland's electricity production, the greenhouse gas reduction potential of wind power is estimated to be approximately 700g CO2/kWh.

How is the energy consumption of metro trains and trams being reduced?
The energy consumption of public transport is managed by designing efficient routes, training drivers in economical driving and maintaining the good condition of metro trains and trams.
HKL is committed to improving energy-efficiency, not only in its transport services, but also in its premises. The municipal energy efficiency agreement (KETS) sets the objectives for the monitoring, reduction and reporting of energy consumption in our premises. We also emphasise lifecycle thinking in all our procurements and construction efforts.
