Recreational fishers to have their say
SA’s peak recreational fishing body, RecFishSA is encouraging as many anglers as possible to attend its Fisho’s Forum at the Lakes Resort Hotel, West Lakes on 28 July.
The Fisho’s Forum is being held to provide anglers with the opportunity to hear from the government about their plans for recreational fishing and to provide input to important management issues for the recreational fishing sector.
Minister Katrine Hildyard (Recreation, Sport & Racing) will address the forum about the government’s commitment to supporting the $1.2 billion / year recreational fishing sector.
The results of the RecFish SA Priorities Survey which has been running for the past 3 weeks will also be presented at the forum and will provide RecFish SA with the information necessary to represent the views of the recreational sector.
Fisho’s will also have their opportunity to provide input on important issues such as the management of Snapper and King George whiting fisheries, reservoir fishing and fishing in the Port River Dolphin Sanctuary.
Registration for the forum is available on the RecFishSA website https://recfishsa.org.au/recfish-sanews/recfish-sa-fishos-forum-2022/
Recreational fishers who are unable attend the forum can also have their say by taking the online RecFish SA Priorities Survey https://recfishsa.org.au/recfish-sa-news/recfish-sa-recreational-fishingpriorities-survey/ and by tuning into the live stream on the RecFish SA Facebook site.

Quotes attributable to Mr Barry Brown, Chairperson, RecFish SA
“We’ve been running the on-line RecFish SA Priorities Survey for the past few weeks and have received some very interesting feedback from the sector. This information will be presented at the forum and we want to work with government to take action on the things that best support the sector.”
“Fishing is Australia’s most popular recreational activity; it generates over $1.2 billion a year in SA alone and over $12 billion nationally. People choose to spend their hard-earned money on recreational fishing and this investment is the lifeblood of many small coastal towns.
“South Australian governments have not invested in recreational fishing on a scale commensurate with its social and economic value and we are being left behind by other states and territories which recognise this value.”
“This forum is a chance for fishers to let government know what’s important to them and what they want the government to work on and improve”
“We all want to know how the government intends to sustain important fish stocks such as Snapper, whiting, garfish and squid and ensure that recreational fishers are given fair allocations of these resources.”
Well-known local angler and RecFish SA Deputy Chair, Andrew Harris agrees.
“It’s critical that recreational fishers are kept informed about the science behind fishing regulations and closures. Good management and equitable allocation are important for the sustainability of our fisheries and for our future generations to enjoy recreational activities.”
“RecFish SA applauds the State Government’s commitment to support recreational fishing, it is very important at this early stage to clearly set out what actions the government is taking to maintain and enhance recreational fishing in SA.”
“There are numerous independent, family-owned tackle stores in SA who have many millions of dollars invested in their businesses and who need the government to better manage fish stocks and invest more into recreational fishing.”

Created to be the “go-to” bag for travel, the Travel Duffle opens like a suitcase for the simplest packing process possible, with multiple compartments for essential travel items.
In current times of hurdles and restrictions for travel comes the need for appropriate products. After their success with the kick-starter funded “Flite Jacket,” travel goods brand Thin Air Global released their next addition to the range – the Thin Air Travel Duffle.

With so many bag and luggage choices around, the team at Thin Air knew that, due to the changing travel climate, baggage-processing issues, and with the increase of short weekenders becoming the new normal for many keen travellers. The Travel Duffle was born.

This impressive product zips completely open down the sides like a suitcase, revealing two large main compartments. The bag offers the perfect amount of space to pack for shorter 2-7 day trips, or as the carry-on bag for any travel distance.

It has a padded laptop compartment, which can fit up to standard 15.4” size laptops. The two external zippered compartments are perfect for the quick access items. It even has its own USB charging port, which you can connect to your own power bank and store inside the bag – allowing fast access to USB power for charging your devices.

Thin Air Global Founder Daniel Hooper, who combined his experience with supplying travel products for global retailers and his love of travel to create the brand, wanted travelers to have a minimal yet practical solution for current travel conditions.
“Travelling with the optimal size bag with practical features is so important,” says Hooper. “The travel industry is easing its way back slowly, and there’s now a strong “weekender length” market, with long haul gradually working its way back but enduring certain transit delays and hiccups for a lot of travellers. So, we wanted to provide a duffle bag option that can work really well practically for this season of travel, but then also continue to be something to enjoy for those longer trips that will be regular again in the future.”
The Thin Air Travel Duffle is available online at www.thinairglobal.com

About Thin Air Global Pty Ltd
Thin Air is a travel and lifestyle brand, providing practical and minimalistic items for travelling and exploring. The word “Thin Air” is used to reflect a range of products that are light, practical and comfortable when travelling. The Thin Air brand will be continually launching innovative items for the travel market.

The Retail and Fast Food Workers Union (RAFFWU) is a national union established in 2016 to fight for retail and fast food workers across Australia. We have members in every state and territory. Collectively our campaigns have returned over a billion dollars per annum in restoring wages, penalty rates, overtime, casual loadings and other conditions in the past 6 years.

On 22 July 2022 the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia handed down its decision in Retail and Fast Food Workers Union Incorporated v Woolworths Group Limited [2022] FedCFamC2G 578 – the Woolworths Union Busting case.

It brought to an end the long running fight by RAFFWU to hold union busters in Woolworths Group to account for their attacks on RAFFWU and our members. The case involved Senior Management at Woolworths Group targeting RAFFWU Delegate, Lauren Dyer, for raising a dispute about a serious car park safety issue.

The litigation exposed Woolworths kept a secret RAFFWU Tracker – to record issues involving RAFFWU. The litigation also exposed the Store Manager had immediately involved the SDA to help him suppress the safety campaign. RAFFWU has been told many workers who supported the campaign were threatened by SDA officials that their jobs were under threat unless they apologised to the Store Manager.

In response to the case Woolworths Group has promised to recognise the standing of RAFFWU as a union of workers, the Freedom of Association of our members and the right of RAFFWU to represent our members. Woolworths Group has issued guidance to its Store Managers and HR/People Services staff. Woolworths apologised, in writing, to Lauren and paid her $3000 compensation.

Obviously, RAFFWU is not so naive as to believe Woolworths Group will suddenly change and treat workers with dignity and respect. We will continue to actively pursue Woolworths Group wherever and whenever it attacks workers.

This case identifies that there is only one Union on the side of Woolworths workers – RAFFWU. While we were fighting for the safety of workers, SDA was threatening workers to get apologies and gifts for the Store Manager. Our members ensured the safety issue was fixed but were then pursued by the National Employee Relations Manager.

This is the second major union busting case won by RAFFWU after the successful Tantex litigation against a major McDonald’s franchisee for coercing children. RAFFWU remains before the courts against JB Hi-Fi over union busting.

Media enquiries can be directed to RAFFWU Secretary, Josh Cullinan, 0416 241 763

Liesel Jones OAM to swim the great barrier reef

Great Barrier Reef Ocean Swim Series (GBROSS) is excited to host its first official ocean swim event on top of one of the world’s seven natural wonders, starting on September 4th, 2022.

Official event ambassador, Liesel Jones OAM, will be attending all the events and urges swimming enthusiasts that this is an opportunity to tick off a trip to the Great Barrier Reef on their bucket list.

‘I’m really excited to be supporting this swim series – there are truly no other swims like these anywhere in the world. To take part in an event swimming directly over the Great Barrier Reef is something you’ll never forget!’ said Mrs Jones.

Gareth Sykes, Founder of GBROSS, and Director of our major sponsor, Team Elite Merchandise, says the reef swims have been a bucket list item of his own.

“After a successful trial event in 2021, and the return to normalcy post-pandemic, the reef swims are exciting events for us to plan, and even more so for those with the opportunity to attend,” Mr Sykes said.

“There are two event days on this year’s calendar, the ‘Classics’ which is a three-kilometre or five-kilometre swim on the 4th of September, or the ‘Challenge’ which is either a three-kilometre race or one kilometre swim the reef on the 22nd of October”

“With huge interest from swimmers in the Northern Hemisphere, this year is perfect for Australians and New Zealanders to get into the swims with some ease,” said Mr Sykes

GBROSS has ensured a fully inclusive experience out on the reef – transfers on the Quicksilver Reef Ferry, merchandise pack, event participation medal, photography, food, snorkelling opportunities, and chats with Olympic gold medalist, Liesel Jones OAM.

Luckily, it’s not so steep as to have much in common with Mt Everest…until recently. Now they share an exciting new similarity… you can find Himalayan Street Food in both locations.

A delicious new taste sensation has come to Petrie Terrace and, if you bear with us for a couple of more minutes, you will be in on the secret…think of it as being in the know on Himalayan Salt before the hippies (and “Entrepreneurs”) made all those pink lamps.

Uncle’s Momos has teamed up with Lord Of The Drinks to deliver Himalayan Street Food to Caxton St. Both brands are very well known and recognised in their cultural communities but working together in a premier Brisbane dining precinct is an exciting combination that you would be crazy to ignore.

In the foothills of the Himalayas, where the Newari Tribe sends out Food Venders into the streets of Kathmandu, the Himalayan Dumpling (or “Momo” to the locals) has held back the US Burger invasion entirely. The humble Momo has been the number one fast food on Mt Everest (and surrounds) for centuries.

With Crocodile from Rockhampton, Buffalo from Maleny, Kangaroo from Barcaldine, Chicken from Gympie and Veggies from local growers, this exotic food sensation has lower food miles than most of the stuff you buy at your local supermarket. Add to that the traditional Nepalese leaf plates it’s served on (called Tapari) which has a close to zero carbon footprint and delivers much needed economic benefit to remote Himalayan villagers without harming the source Sal trees. The fact that Momos are addictively delicious is only a little bonus, right?

Bipin Karki, owner of the Uncle’s Momos Group, said “Momos and Himalyan Street Food have been sold throughout Nepal, Tibet and in the shadow of Everest for centuries – bringing them to an iconic area within the Brisbane cuisine community is the culmination of a dream and a lot of hard work”

19 Caxton St is known, from a Brisbane heritage perspective, as “Berry’s Shop” and is estimated to have been built in 1880. Today it is the home of the next deliciousness to excite the Brisbane community.

Lord Of The Drinks offers a broad range of cocktails (and all of your favourite libations) while Uncle’s Momos delivers a whole new taste sensation that will quickly become your new addiction – you have been warned.

Initially opening for dining on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm, Uncle’s Momos at Lord Of The Drinks will also open for Suncorp Stadium Event days and for Private Functions while additional regular hours are being planned. Bookings, particularly for larger groups and functions, are encouraged. Bookings can be made by email at [email protected].

What’s a Momo?

The deliciousness known as the Himalayan Dumpling or Momo started in Nepal back in the 1300s – that makes them 700 years old! (Don’t worry, at Uncle’s Momos they believe in stock rotation). Momos were initially a Newari food in the Kathmandu valley. It was later introduced to Tibet, China and as far away as Japan by a Nepalese princess who was married to a Tibetan king in the late 1400s.

Today, Momos are the most popular food throughout Nepal – home of the peak of Mt Everest. It’s said that you can’t walk 100 metres in a Nepalese city or village without finding a place selling Momos. Buffalo Momos are the most popular type in Nepal.

Uncle’s Momos is very proud to provide you with the opportunity to eat Momos created using the authentic Himalayan recipe along with their fusion contribution to Australian cuisine in their Crocodile and Kangaroo dumplings.

About Crocodile Momos

Uncle’s Momos World’s First Crocodile Momos are created using meat that is ethically sourced directly from a Queensland farming operation. Be ready to try a completely different meat – perhaps you’ve had red meat like buffalo, or white meat like chicken or fish, this is reptile! We don’t want to freak you out too much….but …. if you have ever wanted to know what a dinosaur tasted like, here is your chance!

Crocodile meat looks like fish, cuts like chicken but cooks like fish and, when prepared properly, has a taste unlike either. Don’t believe the hype, it doesn’t taste like chicken at all!

Crocodile meat is low in fat and high in protein, so, if even if you’re not on a “cheat day”, you are good to go without any guilt.

Uncle’s Momos sources certified Halal meat wherever they can, but, if you really think about it, no one was keen to sign up to provide Halal crocodile meat so their crocodile meat IS NOT Halal.

About Uncle’s Momos Buffalo Meat

Water Buffalo have been present in Northern Australia since the 1820’s when 41 Asian Water Buffalo were imported. By the 1980s there were approximately 400,000 feral buffalos causing massive damage across the Top End. A cull program was set up and the feral population was reduced to under 100,000.

The international demand for Asian Water Buffalo meat and hides meant that some enterprising farmers around Australia have since developed carefully managed domesticated herds.

Buffalo meat is very low in fat (less than 2%) and comparatively low in cholesterol. This leanness makes buffalo meat very healthy. The fat composition in the lean meat has a higher proportion of polyunsaturated and omega 3 fatty acids than in chicken, lamb or beef. Buffalo meat has been found to be very high in protein, iron and zinc content.

Uncle’s Momos sources ethical best quality Australian Buffalo Meat from Maleny in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Queensland tech firm Little Phil is expanding into both North and South America off the back of groundbreaking partnerships as the nonprofit micro philanthropy platform continues to build its global presence.
In the United States and Canada, it is embarking on a number of collaborative projects with leading Non Fungible Tokens (NFT’s) trading platform Xillion. This partnership will see it working with multiple visual artists, music stars, sporting codes, and other celebrities to launch specific NFT’s aligned with charitable causes.
In South America, it will be embarking on launching groundbreaking initiatives with a number of Not-for-Profits in Paraguay which will see its Blockchain technologies made accessible to charities in the country.
“Essentially, what we are doing via the Little Phil platform is providing charities the ability to access Blockchain technologies as a source of funding reduced compliance costs and better transparency,” Little Phil co-founder and CEO Josh Murchie said.

“We have been at the forefront of applying Blockchain technology to charitable causes and our partnership with Xillion came about via our ability to show the artists that they represent transparency with where their money was going and direct connectivity with the charities they support. The partnership in Paraguay came about during a visit to the country last year where I was invited to demonstrate the platform in front of key stakeholders – this then led to the opportunity to develop projects to support a number of charitable initiatives being implemented using our technology.”
Little Phil, which stands for Little Philanthropist, is a nonprofit micro philanthropy platform founded in 2017 to bring transparency to the charitable sector by enabling donors to track their donations from start to finish and prevent third-party fundraisers from taking a large share of the funds raised.
Its goal is to provide charities, small and large, the ability to work in this space to empower them to increase their impact, while also allowing creators a greater ability to select causes that mean something to them.

This technology has seen it also develop a Company Giving initiative that sees businesses able to utilise Little Phil to develop tailored, fully tax-deductible (within Australia) corporate social responsibility programs driven by employees based on the causes they are passionate about.

About Little Phil:

Little Phil (short for little Philanthropist) was founded in October 2017 and believes that with the latest scalable technology and passionate people, we can make the world a better place.

It all started with a mission to develop a smartphone optimised giving platform designed for the next generation of givers. Little Phil has now evolved into creating a total giving ecosystem that connects donors, businesses, and brands more directly with charities and beneficiaries. This provides donors full transparency around where their donations go and charities the ability to showcase the difference every dollar makes in real-time.

Little Phil has won industry awards for innovation, represented Australian Fintech and Social Enterprise Startups at the largest technology conferences in the world, and is proudly supported by the Queensland governments Ignite Ideas Fund.

On World Elephant Day (12 August) spare a thought for the Asian elephant. Unlike African elephants which have a population of 415,000 (down from perhaps 10 million in 1930), Asian elephants represent just a fraction, with only 40,000 left and right on our doorstep, in Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia.

Nearly half of all Asian elephants are “captive” meaning across Asia they assist with wildlife tracking with specialists using them to traverse through high grass where jeeps can’t go, participate in religious festivals at temples and also can be seen by tourists at parks and resorts. Many elephants have a difficult existence, particularly those kept in crowded urban temples who are often chained.

A lot of work has been undertaken though in recent times to improve their welfare.

Our very own H-ELP Foundation in Australia has pioneered positive reinforcement training methods to eradicate the use of mahouts’ historical control “tools” and instead replace them with voice command and hand signals. This has improved the welfare of hundreds of elephants across the region. During Covid H-ELP were distributing thousands of dollars in emergency funds to partners in Asia to assist with the elephant feeding crisis, brought on by droughts and the decline in tourism revenues.

Animal Doctors International (ANI) have just started a mobile veterinary unit in Laos, which will provide preventative treatment (e.g. deworming), treat wounds, trim nails and provide regular check-ups and diagnostic tests, along with emergency care as well. Elephants can suffer from chronic pain, distress or experience malnutrition, which mobile vets can help with. H-ELP Foundation thought it important to partner with ANI to help fund their efforts. Have you ever wondered how to take blood from the elephant? From the back of the ear where skin is thinner… in some places their skin can be up to 6cm thick!

In North Thailand the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) have been facilitating elephant socialisation in friendship groups, ensuring they are physically and mentally healthy and given access to their natural environments. They have also undertaken workshops across the region to improve human elephant interactions. H-ELP partnered with GTAEF to raise money by putting elephants on Zoom calls, so anyone around the world can interact virtually live on their screen, with even a Q&A session. Great for schools or even a birthday present.

The Asian Captive Elephant Standards (ACES) have introduced accreditation to zoos and the tourism industry across Asia, which has strict requirements and audits on camp management, elephant welfare, elephant interactions, camp quality and infrastructure, visitor safety, biodiversity and conservation. This way tourists can check on the ACES accreditation of a tourism destination before visiting and be assured of ethical practices. They recently started talks with H-ELP Foundation for collaboration.

As part of World Elephant Day, the H-ELP Foundation is promoting the awareness of elephants right here at home by launching a free booklet, with the support of the Australian national commission for UNESCO, for use in early learning settings that includes in-class activities, #hugatrunkforelephants awareness challenge on social media (headlined by taekwondo world champion and three-time Olympian Carmen Marton) and colouring-in competition sponsored by Swarovski. It has already been sent to 1000 early learning settings across Australia and is being promoted by Early Childhood Australia. The Australian national commission for UNESCO has also shared it with their fellow commissions across Asia for distribution, putting Australia at the centre of this regional effort.

Co-author of the booklet and H-ELP board member Mark Trayling reflects, “these magnificent and highly intelligent animals are right on our doorstep and this is an opportunity for us to learn from them. Elephants can teach us a lot about ourselves as individuals and societies, so we hope early learning settings and schools across Australia participate in World Elephant Day with us, to encourage greater awareness, knowledge and love for elephants, including their challenges as a critically endangered species. Even the adults can join in on the #hugatrunkforelephants awareness challenge!”

On World Elephant Day, 12 August, we can give greater thought to the Asian elephant and be glad that there have been so many great strides made in their welfare in recent times. H-ELP also encourages the public to make a tax-deductible donation through its website www.h-elp.org so they can continue to help these gentle giants across Asia.

As cryptocurrency markets crash to yearly lows, Australian investors are searching for support in lodging their crypto tax returns.

Koinly(https://koinly.io/) is leading the pack – having launched in 2018, Koinly now offers over 700+ integrations, across the top wallets, blockchains and exchanges, including Binance, CoinJar, CoinSpot, Digital Surge, Swyftx, FTX, and many more.

With more integrations, Koinly makes it easier to gather all your crypto trades in one place.

It’s no surprise, then, that during their current tax season, Australian crypto investors prefer using Koinly as their go-to crypto tax software – and with over 1 million Australians holding crypto, we’re making it easier than ever to do your crypto taxes.

Koinly’s Head of Tax, Danny Talwar, explains that now more than ever, crypto investors need all the tools they can to help navigate tax time amidst unprecedented market volatility.

“These periods of volatility are expected as the technology and market underpinning crypto becomes more understood and matures. Over time things will settle and become more stable. Crypto is here to stay, and now more than ever, investors need support to steer through the complexities of tax obligations when it comes to crypto investments,” he said.

“In Australia, cryptocurrency is seen as an asset and attracts both Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax. This year, the ATO confirmed they would be focusing on crypto investments this tax time and recently updated their guidance on several crypto tax matters,”

“Crypto investors who have sold, traded, spent or even gifted crypto over the past financial year will need to pay Capital Gains Tax on their profits. Transactions such as airdrops, referral bonuses or yield generated as interest via DeFi protocols or CeFi apps will attract Income Tax,” Talwar continued.

In a nutshell, if you’ve sold, traded or made any income or interest from cryptocurrency in the last financial year, you’ll need to declare your crypto totals on your income tax return.

While this can be a headache for those who may have thousands of transactions across hundreds of different wallets and exchanges, Koinly is here to make crypto taxes easy.

Koinly can identify your taxable transactions from your non-taxable transactions, calculate both long-term and short-term capital gains and losses, as well as the fair market value of income from your crypto in AUD.

About Koinly: Koinly calculates your crypto taxes for you, catering to investors and traders at all levels. Whether it’s Crypto, DeFi or NFTs, the platform helps you save valuable time by reconciling your holdings to generate an ATO-compliant tax report in under 20 minutes.

Propell Property is thrilled to announce InvestHer, a division that specialises in empowering women to take charge of their financial future through property investment.
Based on Queensland’s Gold Coast, InvestHer by Propell serves clients across Australia, providing education, support and knowledge in an industry that has traditionally been dominated by males.
“InvestHer is all about empowering women to understand property investment and grow their own property portfolio, backed by strategy, confidence, experience and knowledge” – Karen Lacheta-Pell, Propell Property Partnerships Director.
InvestHer serves as a key piece in growing the female presence in the investment property industry. Despite women in Australia having the highest education rates of any nation, economic participation and financial security remain low. As prominent Financial and Property Services company CoreLogic suggests, there is a large disparity in investment property purchases between men and women. Ultimately, this stems from a lack of education and understanding of the investment market, and the absence of confidence when it comes to taking the steps to purchase investment properties.
The key is to aid driven, passionate women in feeling a sense of confidence in their property investment goals and objectives. Through InvestHer’s unique digital presence, women have widespread access to educational content through social media, email newsletters and blog posts, promoting a growth of knowledge and a focus upon tangible strategic outcomes.
“At InvestHer, we love working alongside women who are passionate about their financial freedom and the property investment market – the go-getters, women that know what they want, but need a hand to reach their goals.” – Karen Lacheta-Pell
Inspired by successful women in the Real Estate Industry, Propell Property Partnerships Director, and Manager of Investher, Karen Lacheta-Pell, instils her wealth of knowledge and understanding within this arm of the business, enabling other women to gain insight into the opportunities within the property investment market.
Whether it’s investing as an individual, or with a partner, InvestHer by Propell works alongside women across Australia to create their dream future and smash their financial goals.
