Eternal anomalies in the inconstant business of music The Innocence Mission are that rare type of band able to faithfully occupy their own niche without ever coming close to feeling stale Each of their albums is like a world in miniature where even the smallest of tonal shifts is enough to create a sense of evolution and renewal When it hits perfectly it’s nothing short of a superpower – a modest one – amped up on demureness and poetic observation The sense of wonder inherent to Karen Peris’ luminous voice deserves much of the credit for that earthed as it is by dewy and spacious arrangements that bloom in unhurried and quietly elegant ways: Karen’s flowing piano chords meeting the exceptional guitar work of high school sweetheart turned husband Don and the sympathetic basslines of Mike Bitts a core member of the band since they formed in ‘86 is one of their most spectacularly beautiful deserving of mention in the same breath as the classic Befriended (2003) and reminiscent Arriving almost five years on from their last album See You Tomorrow which found them judiciously indulging in a slightly grander sound Midwinter Swimmers finds them mostly deviating back to the mean luxuriating in familiar sonic spaces made new with greater insight and deepened affection Birthed partly during the intense early years of the pandemic Peris says she was obliged to write the songs for Midwinter Swimmers in unusual places so as not to interrupt their Zoom classes: in the garage sitting cross-legged on the floor of her bedroom like she was a teenager again but it did make the experience of writing those songs memorable in a new way,” she says “Just being in a different physical space than usual was interesting.” 2024 marks 35 years since the release of their self-titled debut album – the first of two LPs to be produced by Larry Klein Joni Mitchell at the time – and 25 years since their fourth and perhaps best-known album Birds of My Neighborhood which is where Peris picks up when asked to choose the five songs she’s most proud of Listen any earlier than that and she starts to get a little self-conscious about the naivety of the songs “I’m really touched and grateful if people have felt a connection with those earlier songs but I do wish that I’d been able to write better at the time,” she says softly I was barely out of my teens when I wrote a lot of that The Innocence Mission first hit their stride with 1995’s third album Glow, with the soaring single “Bright As Yellow” bringing them as close to a mainstream moment as the band have ever come but it was their shift to home recording for Birds of My Neighborhood that came to define the trio’s unmistakably intimate sound but for whatever reason I have felt closer to our songs since then,” says Peris While "Bright As Yellow" didn't make Peris' cut here the five songs that did are all important milestones in her journey as a songwriter each one digging into the marrow of important themes of community and friendship making the minor feel major and charged with meaning KAREN PERIS: I think this was the first song that I wrote for the Birds of My Neighborhood album and the last part of that tour was going around Canada opening for Emmylou Harris I had read that there are so many beautiful lakes in Canada but we didn’t get to see any of them because we always had to keep moving on to the next place So I was imagining these lakes and seeing them in my mind’s eye and that’s why I ended up writing them into the landscape of this song I felt like the song took on a sort of lakeside atmosphere feeling like I was surrounded by woods and the glimmering water to feel like those people are singing with me We really loved getting to hear her singing every night The big thing on my mind during that time was that I was longing to be transformed into the mother of a child we were already years into our sadness about not having been able to have children That longing is more implicit in some of the other songs on Birds of My Neighborhood than in “The Lakes of Canada” but I guess that’s a part of it when I am singing about change I’d say it’s more about wanting to be better at talking and communicating and the line “I feel that I could change” probably has more in common with other songs that explore that idea including songs from Midwinter Swimmers – like “A Different Day” “Orange of the Westering Sun” and even underlying the buoyancy of the song “John Williams” – which have more to do with ideas of trusting of striving against fearfulness and not letting anxiety get in the way of acting on good intentions Songs about not being afraid of conversation I don’t want to impose too much on this song the longing for children but I can say that the word “change” has itself changed so much for me over the years When our kids finally were able to be born and then they started to get to school age I just wanted for everything to stay the same and to be able to hold the present moment and I find it interesting how some words can change so much in their meaning I never want to disagree with how someone else hears a song because I feel like the listener is a really important part of any song and that how someone completes it in their mind is the right way for it to be for them I would add that the image in the song of feeling a sudden joy at spotting a fish moving through the water is very real to me and I think it must be common to many people to perceive the gift of a sudden stronger-than-usual joy that is momentary but sustaining and helpful I don’t remember exactly what transpired to allow me to put those parts together I think there were 5 years between Glow and when Birds of My Neighborhood finally came out… and then our son was born in ‘98 so that was a pretty big deal and brought a lot of changes I definitely remember recording “The Lakes of Canada” up in our attic with a small studio setup before Don and my dad built a studio space downstairs in the basement of our house I think that being able to work on music at home was really good for us and really gave us a sense of exploration in what we were doing It was such a gift just to be able to take our time and try to get things sounding in a way that seemed right Being able to just sing by myself in a room with no one else around I think probably led to a more personal kind of singing so even in her death it was natural to think of her as being like a beacon like the image in the song of someone waving around lights on an airport runway signalling a place to land she worked in a hospice and in people’s homes caring for them and talking with their families She always talked to me how it was such a privilege for her to be with people in the last weeks of their lives and that she’d get a real sense of someone crossing a threshold when they were passing away She’d talk about there being such a peace about them so all of that was helpful to me in my being without her There was a comfort in thinking about all of that and that’s where this song comes from and why it’s an important one for me I can’t remember if it was a year or two years after she died that I wrote the song but I think any time that I could think about her and talk about her was comforting I should say that those particular words from that song are actually borrowed from the author E.M either from an essay he wrote or a talk that he gave where he said I do not want my voice to go out into the air.” If you look at the lyrics in a physical copy of the record that part should be in quotation marks and his name in the credits I felt like I understood what he was saying so it feels good to keep writing about her She and my dad really enjoyed travelling there We were in London one time for work and tried to walk around as much as possible because it was just so beautiful As a family I think we all have loved Maine so much which is at the very top of the northeast of our country We’ve had some really memorable trips up there together which I also think is a very beautiful city The Boston Public Library is really amazing The artist John Singer Sargent painted all these murals on the walls there and then when you go into the huge children’s book room everything is decorated with paintings of Curious George because I think the creators Margret and H.A Rey were from Massachusetts or had some other connection with Boston We haven’t travelled a great deal other than touring but it's been such a privilege to get to travel around the country and meet a lot of wonderful people and to get to experience a real sense of community through music That’s one of the most affecting things we’ve ever experienced and we are so I just have to figure out how to be able to do it again but that’s really different from singing in a concert I’ve taken a really long break from touring to be able to stay home with our kids and I didn’t realise that being able to sing for a long time was something that I probably needed to stay in practice about in order to have the kind of rhythm of breathing that goes along with that Maybe if we’re able to start with shorter shows It’s something we’re working on and still trying to figure out I do miss the community of the mind people we met KAREN PERIS: I knew I wanted to choose a song from this album and “The Brothers Williams Said” is one that do feel really close to I actually started writing it about 10 years before that but I could never get further with the lyrics than the first few lines or so and then something – I don’t remember what – prompted me to start playing it on piano instead and that opened up something in the song for me and then the rest of it unfolded pretty quickly I was glad when the words were able to resolve in a hopeful way Before that I didn’t have those parts like “See you tomorrow / Maybe tomorrow I’ll see you tomorrow,” and I think there’s a suggested hopefulness to those lines about there being a better understanding between people in the situation that the song is describing I felt like the piano chords left a lot of space around the melody and the words and that seemed to make sense to me because the song itself is about quietness It’s about the experience of shyness and of introversion that so many people have and it’s especially about the concern that shyness can be misunderstood for unfriendliness Even if maybe half the world would maybe consider themselves to be introverted I think there can still be this misperception that shyness is the opposite of friendliness to be talking about that misperception in this song People who have a quiet nature might feel very warmly towards other people they just maybe take a longer time before having the courage to express it or maybe their voices are sometimes drowned out by the noise around them We actually recorded this song – at the least the piano and the timpani parts – in the band room of our old high school which is the same room where I first met Don all those years ago It was so nice to be able to play their grand piano because I just have a smaller upright piano at home and this song just seemed to want to have a deeper and richer sound which I think really adding something lovely to the song I’m really glad that you could feel that because that’s kind of what I was hoping that the song could convey I bet it can be hard to be in your situation but I am sure that your kindness really comes through to the people around you So much can be conveyed just through a person’s face and that’s what I was hoping to say in this song as well I don’t really have a good answer as to why I don’t even really know many people named William I think it’s more about the sound of the word and the feeling of it when it becomes joined together with a melody but it’s a nice thing that just keeps happening KAREN PERIS: I wasn’t sure which song to pick from A Song is Way Above the Lawn so I just picked the first song that I wrote for it because I think all the other songs that followed really did come out of this one This song showed me that I seemed to want to be writing from the perspective of childhood and that’s such a vast expanse to be travelling because there’s an endless amount of wonder that’s felt in everyday moments and in the life of the imagination Even the thought of entering a library can feel like entering a world of doorways to other places and especially the friendships found in books I think I needed to give myself permission to keep working on songs from these countries of childhood maybe because I was worried that it would seem strange to someone else I felt like calling it a children’s album would maybe make sense of it to other people but in the end it was received as just a regular album that anyone could enjoy People didn’t seem to think it was strange I liked that it could be a way to extend the childhood of our own children and even for me to be in conversation with my childhood self which I think it probably always a good thing We had a set of World Book encyclopedias that one of my brothers had won in a contest and a set of child craft encyclopedias that went along with that I remember there were some really interesting stories and poems in those and some of the story fragments had been illustrated by Maurice Sendak [author of Where the Wild Things Are] We didn’t have many books other than those but my parents would often take us to the library I would take the bus downtown after activities were done and just sit there doing my homework until my dad was done with his work He worked just down the street from the library and we’d ride the bus home together we would go to the library downtown every week – the same library – and it looked identical to the way it did when I was little All those hours spent reading with my kids… I will probably always think of that as the highlight of my life I loved that we could feel like we were on all these adventures together and still be completely safe at the library or at home They really liked to be read to up until they were in middle school and we still read together sometimes just because we enjoy it Partly I was just thinking of all these big lion statues that are outside of some of our really stately libraries like the New York City Public Library and the Boston Public Library and I liked the feeling of these lions being really gentle characters like someone you could talk to as a friend in childhood I wanted to convey that finding a sense of friendship because of the characters we might meet there and feel something kindred with The world of the imagination is extended in all directions to encompass the people and the landscapes you meet in books I like the mystery of how even the weather in a book or a poem can override the actual weather where you are Jane Eyre is a vivid example of that for me It’s also a lessening of loneliness to feel some kind of understanding with an author or an extended idea of friendship with other people who have liked the same book there would be a card in a pocket in the back of every library book where you would sign your name and the librarian would stamp the date You could see the names of all the people who had read the same book which in itself could feel like a sort of community The other part of my answer is that our kids just always loved animals Our son is really allergic to dogs and cats but the kids liked any story or picture book that had to do with animals We were drawing animals together all the time So that’s really why I put them in these songs because I liked the idea of the songs extending our memories of all those animal stories we’d read together KAREN PERIS: I think I choose it mostly because it was a real comfort to work on because I was missing our kids so much when they were away at university It’s a song about how love can transcend distance I was trying to map out pictures of connectedness and thinking about all these different kinds of lines that run through the world and even my wonky way of mending a green cardigan that I was trying to do at the time and I was trying to criss-cross them all with some green thread It kind of looked like a street map when it was finished I remember thinking about how all these different kinds of lines are really just visible and audible signals of our deeper connections with each other and I’m often walking the same blocks that I walked with our kids when they were little so it can feel sometimes like the landscape is full of doorways to those memories and like doorways to possibility and just the joy of being alive I also think that the way a certain kind of weather looks can be a portal in the mind’s eye I guess I just went down all these different side streets of thoughts and they all sort of merged together in this song which is trying to get at something having to do with crossing over the distance to someone that I really missed maybe I am kind of a broken record about that [laughs] But I have always loved the idea of doorways in landscapes and other places I loved finding trees that looked like they could have doors in them trees with knots in the bark that seemed like they could open I’d imagine different animals visiting each other in the trees and a whole storybook world would appear I still like the idea of these portals but that’s taken on a different kind of meaning I think of them now in regards to memories and ways to hold on to these really dear people that I’m missing in that there can be a lot of trying of different ways and at different times to find the sound that it seems like a song wants to have We’re always searching for the right ingredients for a song to be able to have an atmosphere that one could enter into It took us a little while to arrive at the right version of “This Thread is a Green Street” The song seemed to want to have a little bit more of singing in unison than we’ve tried before so I tried singing to my own voice a couple of times It gave the song an atmosphere that seemed to fit what we’d been thinking of so we just kept going forward with that until it was done When I listen to other people’s music and when I think about all the different albums I hold in my head of things that I’ve loved it can feel really mysterious how someone has arrived at the sounds that they’ve used it’s really a case of just trying to go forward and to listen and pay attention to what might be affecting us as we’re recording because often that can be the right thing to go with but I found that one in an anthology and I really loved it right away It’s so striking that I feel like I was responding just to that one line – is it a street or years – on a couple of the songs from the new album [like “The Camera Divides the State of Maine”] and all that question was communicating to me Midwinter Swimmers is out 29 November via Bella Union Get the Best Fit take on the week in music direct to your inbox every Friday The fourth RIBA International Prize has been awarded to the Modulus Matrix: 85 Social Housing complex in Cornellà The design arranges five to six modules worth approximately 139 square feet apiece into 85 homes inspired by Japanese design with 18 on each floor Circulation cores are placed in each corner of the structure for easier access to the building and units receive an ample amount of sunlight and are easily cross-ventilated This "loose fit architecture" (as RIBA's president Muyiwa Oki calls it) is the key that helps the project stand out over more conventional forms of housing Setting its grid-like layout around a central courtyard facilitates easy movement and social exchange

Barcelona’s Metropolitan Institute of Land Development and Property Management (IMPSOL) was the client, expanding on its critically well-received housing development model that has produced over 5,000 homes to date in the region The project was completed in 2021 and stands as Spain’s largest timber frame structure Peris was joined by her fellow co-founder Jose Toral in saying: "We are very proud of the positive feedback from residents of Modulus Matrix Some were unsure about features like entering through a terrace having an open kitchen at the centre of the home but their perspectives changed after living in the space Now they feel this way of living better adapts to their needs Their first-hand experiences provide valuable insights into how housing around the world can evolve." commented finally: "Through this innovative approach to social housing Peris + Toral Arquitectes has responded to the shifting demands of societal groupings by crafting a housing project that is adaptive Not defined by stereotypes or fixed assumptions of what constitutes 'family' the intelligent organization of space encourages lively interaction and connection within the community ensuring that the architecture functions on different scales – from the discrete dwelling to the collective space This building has set a precedent for future developments in Barcelona and beyond."

Nova recalled Helen making a comment 'to either Adam [Doville] or James [Stewart] about how good looking they were' 'Do we judge people's performances on their good looks?' she asked 'And Craig Revel got excited when he the saw the men with their shirts unbuttoned.'  'I've I've known Ben for a number of years now,' Nova added on a more serious note He was an outstanding footballer and I sort of feel that he's back and living his life 'You go into each performance wanting to get to the next dance and it is disappointing,' Nova said of the result she's not harbouring any hard feelings: 'If was to go out on a bang then it was a nice way to go out,' she reflected Speaking about her nerves she felt on the show the first Aboriginal Australian Olympic gold medallistsaid: 'It's a horrible gut feeling when you're getting out there It's not as easy as some people think it may be.' She also classed herself as a 'performer' rather than an 'entertainer' and said that she thought contestants from musical and theatrical professions 'absolutely' had a 'leg up' on the competition there's a big difference between entertaining and performing on the sports field,' Nova said 'Sam [Jade] and Lisa [McCune] are entertainers by trade Nova hasn't had the chance to watch the series because she's currently commentating the Paris Olympics but said she had 'really nice comments come through from family and friends' Fans were in an uproar about Sunday night's elimination flooding X and the competition's Instagram page with comments such as: 'WTF Julie should of got to stay,' and 'Julie was ripped off bad.' 'Rigged they're really trying to redeem Ben,' another wrote with a fourth unhappy fan writing: 'Who's voting for Ben Has to be rigged for their whole bs "redemption arc."' added another The retired footballer shares the two children with his former partner Ben won the Brownlow Medal in 2005 and captained the West Coast Eagles from 2001 to 2005 securing the club's best and fairest awards four out of those season He played 238 games and booted 205 goals for the West Coast Eagles where he won a premiership with the club in 2006 His dramatic fall from grace was well documented from 2007 as he publicly battled a drug addiction. In 2021, Susan Backshell, who has acted as a mentor for Cousins since his last stint on jail, told Daily Mail Australia that he remains solely focused on his kids.  Sitting in a cold, cramped jail cell for the sixth time in 13 years, Ben decided enough was enough after seven months behind bars in 2020. 'For him to also come out and we all made ourselves vulnerable to perform the way we did, it brought a tear to our eyes seeing Ben on the dancefloor doing the Viennese waltz after the trials and tribulations that he's been through,' Nova added.  'He should be defined as a person who's achieved incredible things on the footy field and he's doing great things with his family life now.' Dancing With The Stars judge Mark Wilson, who has judged the Australian series for 14 seasons, said he loves that fans are so passionate, but has slammed any suggestions the judging is unfair as 'outrageous'.  The backlash to Julie and Nova's elimination 'is testament to how fierce the competition is this year,' he told Daily Mail Australia on Monday.  'We judge our celebrities purely on the dance routine they perform on the night. 'All four of us judges have extensive experience as judges and dancers and take the integrity of dancing very seriously,' Mark continued.  'Any suggestion of rigging and favouritism from the judges is preposterous and outrageous. 'As judges, we can sometimes disagree,' the five-time Australian dance champion continued. 'But we are all judging the technical ability, the natural talent and the quality of the routine that the celebrities perform on the night.'

Nova Perris says DTWS judges 'could have favourites'Commenting on this article has endedNewest{{#isModerationStatus}}{{moderationStatus}} Olympic gold medallist and former Federal Senator Nova Peris says she was appalled by Hawthorn legend Jason Dunstall’s joke about Willie Rioli’s late father at a Australian Rules Football Hall of Fame function last year Dunstall told the crowd how one of the few people he had beaten at a pre-season endurance race in the 1990s was Rioli Snr who died from a heart attack in 2022 aged just 52 “We had a young man come down from the Top End by the name of Willie Rioli… don’t think Willie had done much conditioning he looked like an 18-gallon keg on legs,” Dunstall told the crowd Get the first look at the digital newspaper curated daily stories and breaking headlines delivered to your inbox Get the NewsletterBy continuing you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.He said towards the end of the race he “got the scent of my first kill and it was invigorating.” “I put my neck out on the line and got him and a week later he was back in the Top End a fierce advocate for First Nations rights wrote an impassioned opinion piece detailing how offended she was by the comments and how it spoke to the barriers facing real acceptance for Indigenous Australians “Dunstall concluded the anecdote by noting that Rioli returned to the Top End shortly after. It was a deliberate attempt at humour at the expense of a man who had passed away a proud Aboriginal footballer who cannot speak back “It was a public humiliation of a man who should be remembered with honour.” The post came hours after Port Adelaide beat Hawthron. At the end of the spiteful game Rioli Jnr was pushed in the back while scoring a goal after taunting Hawks defender Changkuoth Jiath by holding out the ball towards him before kicking the major. He was then awarded a free kick in the goal square and kicked his second goal in as many minutes. Dunstall’s speech also came in the midst of Rioli Jnr’s cousin Cyril Rioli’s racism suit against the Hawks. The four-time premiership Hawk and other former Hawthorn Indigenous players late last year settled a federal court case with the club over racism claims. Rioli Jnr took leave from Port Adelaide after he was subjected to racial abuse online over his post but returned to training on Wednesday and is expected to play against the Swans on Sunday. Power coach Ken Hinkley called out the racists who had attacked his player and called for tougher punishments for those that peddle racist hate online. Peris, who campaigned for the Voice in 2023, wrote Dunstall’s anecdote was deeply offensive. “What astounds me is that Dunstall chose to mock an Aboriginal man, a minority of minorities. Someone who didn’t even get to go on to play a senior AFL game,” she wrote. “What was there to gain from that? Out of the entirety of what he could have said as a newly inducted legend, he chose to kick someone who isn’t here to defend himself. The Sport Australia Hall of Fame member, one of only nine Indigenous names on that honour roll among 450, also addressed Dunstall directly. “Jason Dunstall, you had a moment to elevate the game along with your new status. Instead, you chose to belittle,” she wrote. “You tarnished what should have been a sacred night. You mocked a man who cannot defend himself. You humiliated a son who is still playing our great game. And you reminded every young Aboriginal child watching that even our dead are not safe. “You spoke from the heart. You stood up for your father. You stood up for your people. You are not alone. Keep shining because you are the light in the darkness. You are loved, respected, and fiercely supported.” Latest EditionEdition Edition 5 May 20255 May 2025All-powerful Anthony Albanese says give me some R.E.S.P.E.C.T Olympian Nova Peris has voiced her outrage over a joke AFL legend Jason Dunstall told about an Indigenous former teammate branding it a 'public humiliation' of a man who couldn't defend himself Dunstall joked about Willie Rioli Sr as he was elevated to Legend status in an AFL Hall of Fame ceremony last June the 60-year-old admitted he was never known for his athletic ability and fitness and illustrated his point by saying in his 14 years with Hawthorn he only beat two other players when it came to endurance - one of whom was Rioli 'I remember we had a young man come down from the Top End by the name of Willie Rioli,' Dunstall began 'I don’t think Willie had done a lot of conditioning; he looked like an 18-gallon keg with legs.' The former full-forward recalled that he was catching up to Rioli as they ran laps with their Hawks teammates cheering Rioli on before Dunstall just pipped him at the finish line 'I got the scent of my first kill – it was invigorating Peris blasted Dunstall on Thursday, just after Rioli's son, Port Adelaide star Willie Jr, made headlines when he used a fiery social media post to explain that he hates the Hawks because of the way they have treated his family 'I was stunned and appalled by Jason Dunstall's decision to use his Australian Hall of Fame platform to mock the late Willie Rioli Sr,' she told News Corp 'To make a joke at his expense from the podium of one of football's highest honours is not just poor taste 'It is a stark betrayal of what that honour is meant to represent.' Peris specifically brought up Dunstall's remark about Rioli returning to his home in the Northern Territory 'It was a deliberate attempt at humour at the expense of a man who had passed away 'It was a public humiliation of a man who should be remembered with honour.' Rioli Sr - who went to high school with Peris - died of a heart attack in 2022 He did not play a first-grade game with Hawthorn after leaving his home in the Tiwi Islands to try to make it in Melbourne 'You don’t just mock a man; you mock a people A people who have already been knocked down by history time and again,' Peris said 'And to do that from the most prestigious platform in the sport is not only gutless Willie Rioli Jr was given time off by Port Adelaide after his post about Hawthorn resulted in him suffering racist abuse online Peris said the Power star was 'deeply' impacted by Dunstall's joke 'not because he's bitter Rioli Jr's uncle Cyril Rioli, who won four flags with the Hawks in a stellar career, left the game due to allegedly racist treatment he received while he was with the club, and was involved in taking the Hawks to the Australian Human Rights Commission along with three other First Nations families.

At a small gathering in Melbourne on Friday, former senator Nova Peris will evoke the legacy of Aboriginal rights activist William Cooper to call for greater solidarity among Indigenous people towards Jewish Australians. It is one of a series of planned commemorations of Cooper, whose by Nazi Germany has in recent years gained totemic status among Australian Jewry. The commemorations will take place against the backdrop on ongoing war in Gaza and . The culmination of the Melbourne event will see one of Cooper\\u2019s great, great-grandsons, Michael McDonogh, present a Victorian government representative with a statement of unity calling for an end to racism and greater social cohesion. A sharper message is expected to be delivered by Peris. Her support for Israel since the October 7 atrocities has put her at odds with Aboriginal activists such as Gary Foley \\u2013 a student of Cooper\\u2019s life and now a prominent figure with the pro-Palestine protest movement \\u2013 and Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe, who regularly attends pro-Palestine rallies and has drawn parallels between the experience of Indigenous Australians and Palestinians. According to a copy of her speech provided to this masthead, Peris will tell a group of multi-faith leaders and Jewish and Aboriginal community members that, in leading an Australian Aborigines\\u2019 League protest 86 years ago against the persecution of distant people he had never met, Cooper showed a moral clarity needed today. \\u201CWhen he marched to the German consulate in 1938, he didn\\u2019t march for his own people. He marched for the Jewish people \\u2013 strangers to him but bound to him by a shared understanding of suffering and the unyielding belief in justice,\\u201D Peris will say. \\u201CHe knew, as we must, that the fight against hate anywhere is a fight against hate everywhere. \\u201CAs I reflect on his legacy, I see the deep parallels between the Aboriginal and Jewish peoples. Both of us have endured systemic oppression and attempts to erase our histories, and yet both of us have survived\\u2014stronger, prouder, and more determined to ensure that these injustices are never forgotten. \\u201CWilliam Cooper\\u2019s protest ... was an extraordinary act of courage. It was an act of empathy, of moral clarity, and of profound humanity. It reminds us that we cannot stand silent in the face of injustice.\\u201D Cooper\\u2019s story was first brought to the attention of the Melbourne Holocaust Museum by Foley and now forms part of permanent Holocaust exhibits in Melbourne, Sydney and Jerusalem. McDonogh says that although his great, great-grandfather is rightly remembered for intervening on behalf of European Jews, he saw in their treatment by the Nazis echos of how Aboriginal people were still treated in Australia. \\u201CHe was watching his people being exterminated,\\u201D he said. \\u201CThat was the correlation with what the Nazis were trying to do to the Jewish people.\\u201D Cooper died before the establishment of Israel and the mass displacement of Arab Palestinians during the war in 1948. What would Cooper make of today\\u2019s conflict in the Middle East? McDonogh offers this perspective: \\u201CI think he would still be standing up for all kinds of human rights. But if one side refuses to acknowledge the other side\\u2019s existence, what are they supposed to do? If you are on the side of human rights, how can you pick a side?\\u201D There is dispute about some details of Cooper\\u2019s 1938 protest, which was sparsely documented in contemporaneous written records. There is no surviving copy of the text he is said to have left with the German consulate. Monash historian Bain Attwood, a Cooper biographer, doubts whether he would have walked to Footscray from the city, given his advanced years and ill health at the time. He argues that elements of the story have morphed from history into myth. Abe Schwarz, an interfaith and social justice campaigner who has spent 20 years raising public awareness of Cooper\\u2019s protest, said the accepted account was largely based on the oral testimony of witnesses to the event. Start the day with a summary of the day\\u2019s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights. . In repeating blatant Zionist propaganda to justify her support for Israel, Nova Peris erroneously and harmfully conflates Jewish identity with support for the Zionist project in Palestine, which in effect depicts all Jews as complicit in Israel’s criminality. Her abject apologism also betrays all indigenous peoples’ struggles against colonial oppression. Michelle Berkon is a Jewish Australian, aspiring mosaic artist, and former teacher. She has always been committed to social justice, environmental sustainability, and animal rights. As a member of Jews Against the Occupation ‘48 for a decade, she has repudiated Zionism and become active in the struggle for Palestinian rights.

Projects (3)SortLatestOldestA-ZZ-A✕ResetDate Tags:SaveSaveSign up to unlockmore of your company's projects The best Architecture Professionals behind the projects we publish there is mass shock and anger over Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza The opposition is such that the federal Labor government which has backed and aided the Israeli assault has cynically sought to distance itself from the consequences shedding crocodile tears over the mass civilian deaths while continuing to support the Israeli regime it is striking that the most rabid defenders of the Israeli war crimes are a layer of prominent Indigenous leaders exposes the fraud that these figures speak on behalf of oppressed Aboriginal people they are representatives of a corrupt and privileged elite state and military structures of capitalist rule Labor Party parliamentarian and Indigenous leader defending Israel and branding any opposition to it as antisemitic which is being boosted through paid advertising It was clearly developed in conjunction with Zionist organisations including with an interview where she called for pro-Palestinian activists to be imprisoned In the comments from the video that have received the most media attention Peris denounced pro-Palestinian protesters for flying the Australian Indigenous flag Adopting the tone of an exasperated lawyer about to launch action for a copyright infringement prior and informed consent to use our flag for your cause?” in that Peris played a leading role in a successful campaign to end copyright restrictions on the flag several years ago The media focus on the flag issue has been used to obscure the extraordinary character of the video as a whole It is among the clearest public articulations in Australia over the past four months of the ethno-nationalist and fascist program underlying the Israeli onslaught on Gaza There is nothing in Peris’ diatribe with which hardened Israeli/Zionist settlers who steal Palestinian land and chant “death to the Arabs” would disagree Peris begins with a potted history of the role played by Jewish lawyers in Indigenous legal cases including those establishing Aboriginal land rights Native title and land rights have been used by the Indigenous elite to amass substantial funds through access deals with mining and other corporations while the vast majority of Indigenous people have remained in abject poverty the fact that some of the lawyers who took land rights cases happened to be Jewish would be of limited interest to anyone who did not have an unhealthy obsession with race and ethnicity Her entire argument is premised on a complete identification of Judaism and the Jewish people with Israel opposed by a growing number of Jews around the world associating the Jewish people with a militarist and authoritarian state as it perpetrates heinous war crimes Peris references the doctrine of terra nullius Latin for “land belonging to nobody,” which was used to justify the British colonisation of Australia and the dispossession of its Indigenous population Terra nullius formed a key component of vicious anti-Aboriginal racism and denied any significance to the continuous Indigenous presence in Australia which is thought to span 60,000 years or more what on earth does it have to do with defending Israel as it is ethnically-cleansing Indigenous Palestinians It was not the Palestinians who were under assault Peris was committed to “helping your people overturn a similar lie which is now being told against the Jewish people That they have no connection to the land of Israel that they are ‘settler colonists.’ It is clear that enemies of the Jewish people now seek to impose a myth of terra nullius on the Jewish people the indigenous inhabitants of the land of Israel.” Peris declared: “It is historically and archaeologically proven that they were there fighting for their freedom in Israel before the birth of Christ and over a thousand years before the advent of Islam.” Those remarks are a combination of historical falsification religious obscurantism and ethno-supremacism straight out of the fascist playbook denies that the Palestinians have continuously occupied the land that is now Israel for generations and generations emerged in Europe in the latter part of the 19th century far more connected to political events in Europe than anything that had occurred in the Middle East millennia before with far greater numbers of Jewish people adhering to the internationalist perspective of the socialist movement including those that led to the victory of Hitler and then the horrors of the Holocaust for Zionism to establish a mass base of support among Jewish people The state of Israel was formed in 1948 as an imperialist outpost Its establishment was based on the brutal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians through terror and mass murder This was justified with a doctrine very similar to terra nullius with Zionists claiming that Palestinian villages that they weren’t putting the land to great use there are clear and distinct parallels between the colonial dispossession of the Australian Aboriginal people and the neo-colonial dispossession of the Palestinians Peris was simply mouthing Zionist talking points The claim that a substantial Jewish presence in what is now Israel justifies the establishment of an exclusively Jewish nation-state 2,000 years later but the foundation of this argument is religious not “archaeological” or “historical,” in the line that the Jewish people deserve the state of Israel because it was purportedly promised to them by God The entire premise is a mythical and ethno-nationalist one before modern nation-states were even known are marshaled as the pretext for maintaining an ethnically-exclusive nation-state in the 21st century Peris’ line about a Jewish presence in Israel predating the birth of Christ and the creation of Islam was clearly aimed at justifying the doctrine of Jewish racial domination that is the foundation of the Israeli state Peris’ arguments are the same as those advanced by far-right Zionists who insist on a providential Jewish right to conquer and occupy Gaza the West Bank and other parts of a supposed greater Israel It should be noted that the Australian Jewish Association which has thanked Peris for her video and aggressively promoted it has ties to settler organisations in Israel It is these forces whose bidding Peris is doing In an interview yesterday on the right-wing “Sky News,” Peris made another remarkable intervention the contents of a secret WhatsApp chat group was leaked and published online involving Jewish creatives and pro-Israel activists plotted to dox Palestinians and to have them fired from their jobs for opposing the assault on Gaza instead presenting the leak of the chat as a violation of privacy and the publication of a “Jew list.” Peris repeated these talking points to Sky The leaking had incited “racial harassment,” “pain” and “violence,” she asserted without a shred of evidence This necessitated “harsh measures.” “I would call for a prison sentence,” Peris declared The former athlete is not only supporting a genocide but is also calling for police-state repression against those who oppose it Peris’ reactionary positions are not an aberration another Indigenous leader Professor Marcia Langton branded all opposition to the Israeli onslaught as antisemitic and rejected any identification between the historic oppression of the Aboriginal people and the Palestinians Speaking to the Murdoch-owned Australian newspaper Langton declared that the Palestinians were effectively responsible for their own slaughter Other Indigenous leaders have put forward similar positions crass and opportunist interests are a factor one of the most prominent Zionist lobbyists in the country was also a founding board member and then co-chair of Reconciliation Australia which purports to advance the interests of Indigenous people He has a close relationship with Langton and several other Indigenous leaders But more fundamental than that is the class position of the Aboriginal leaders They are representatives of an elite that has been cultivated for years and that has its own selfish and predatory interests distinct from and opposed to those of ordinary people The intensely hostile attitude of figures such as Peris and Langton to the Palestinians is not fundamentally different to their attitude to impoverished Indigenous Australians a party that has been involved in every attack on Indigenous people over the past century or more Langton was a defender of the Northern Territory Intervention a brutal military-police occupation of Aboriginal lands Their aim is to promote division on every front The only means by which the onslaught against the Palestinians in Gaza can be stopped is through the mobilisation of the working class on an international scale against war and capitalism The same is true for ending the oppression of Indigenous people in Australia Fill out this form and we’ll contact you soon It has a lot meaning to me AVA means “Life” and “Peris” was my

historic core he is currently witnessing a resurfacing of mindful aesthetic desires Currently fascinated by the population of a city constantly in flux and unique restless desire accompanies the vast observations of Peris in this transformative space Peris has held numerous exhibitions in Europe and South America; with prominent solo shows in Spain Yet the fresh eyes by which he witnesses this city and confronting them; allowing Peris to explore a vast number of realities which currently occupy his aesthetic production Shadow as Witness marks Peris’ 1st ever exhibition in the city of Los Angeles artist from all over the world converge in this aesthetic space to question what happens after chiaroscuro How are those realities different than our own The centerpiece of the exhibition Sombra Liberada (Liberated Shadow) showcases Peris’ more recent aesthetic queries Inside this Calderesque mobile installation meant to surround and envelope the viewer a largely yet playful group of individuals sliced in motion and rendered in acetate invites the public to join and play Intimately shifting the reality of observed time yet permitting the viewer to occupy the space of the work itself; allow for an engagement friendly conceptual distortion of space and time Which is the current core of Peris’ practice as he believes that contemporary art is vastly preoccupied with the market and a series of other larger and exterior concerns that allow artists to forget that what matters at the end of the day is the truth Vicente PerisLa Sombra Liberada, 2017CuratorLoveVicente Peris

companies carefully curated by the Peris Costumes Group The partnership brings massive benefits to the UK film and tv production industry as Academy Costumes can widen its doors and offer clients direct access to Peris’s vast inventory of twelve million high-quality garments covering every historical period from the Ancient World through to today’s Contemporary and Designer pieces The size of the inventory actively promotes sustainability coupling quality with the quantity to meet all production needs Commenting on joining the Peris Group and developing the Academy brand founder and owner Adrian Gwillym says “We have always made for any historical period but our hire stock has always been heavily focused on the 20th century which naturally hindered Academy working on many productions set in a different time period With Academy joining the Peris Group and network all our clients will benefit They will still be working with the Academy they’ve always known but now we can deliver costumes of all time periods as well as giving an incredible depth to our making services.” “When I first visited Peris I was blown away by the quality and sheer scale of their stock but equally impressive is their ateliers making custom pieces at the highest quality and speed combine traditional techniques with modern manufacturing technology When I started Academy in 1984 my goal dream was to create the best making workshop in the world and now the partnership with Peris finally makes my dream come true….oh ” I am delighted with Academy joining the group and network From the moment I met Adrian there was an instant rapport I have always had a deep respect for the history of Peris and I wanted to build on the roots laid down in 1856 and develop a costume hire service that respected tradition but catered for the demands of 21st century film and tv production.” “With that in mind I have built a global network spanning 22 countries and the Peris philosophy in every country is for each of our partners to maintain their own identity and Peris helps to develop their individual brands.” “currently the group has just over twelve million garments and we’re constantly adding to it to maintain it’s quality and relevance to any period of history My goal has always been to stand out for our commitment to quality making it a go-to resource for costume designers worldwide.” “We’re looking forward to the opening of our London warehouse but in the mean- time we are bridging the gap between London We’re using the benefits of today’s technology to virtually bring you closer to Madrid and the networks vast collection coupled with our own delivery system At the same time we’re extending our program of inviting everyone as our guest to visit the heart of our collection in Madrid Working together we can face today’s production requirements.” and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio.” Before transitioning into asset management Today’s conversation is about the evolution of financial theory beginning with the rough and tumble world of 19th-century finance with its stock syndicates and Jay Gould conspired and fought to take from Joe Public the riches afforded to them by laissez-faire capitalism and the industrial revolution The first deals with the world as it was before 1929 with its unregulated The second part explores the world after the Great Crash and intellectual – supported the procurement and distribution of a new set of financial theories that promised to explain away uncertainty and guide the allocation of risk in the pursuit of profits we cannot help but function under the fallacies of its paradigms One of these fallacies is the notion that economies are independent phenomena that operate according to a certain set of physical laws Most people will acknowledge that our economic and financial models are imperfect but most people also think of them as being somewhat analogous to models developed in the natural sciences Because of this false comparison to physics (equilibrium) and nature (normal distributions) people often remain unaware of the centrality of politics in theories of the economy Economies are not independent phenomena that answer only to the laws of nature They are political and social phenomena that exist within a political system Theories of the economy that do not take into account the system within which they operate are flawed…in some cases are better at describing how the banking system operates in a laissez-faire society whereas Modern Monetary Theory is better at describing how it works in our current fiat-based system of unrestrained credit growth What often happens is that devotees of these different schools are actually advocating for a specific set of policies under the pretense that their views are scientific and that their policies derive logically from some objective view of how an ideal economy operates they are based on political values and societal ideals The MMT school is full of progressive social-democrats who want governments to play a larger role in the economy whereas the Austrian school is full of conservative libertarians who want less government This sorting along political lines is not a coincidence Investment theories operate rather differently than theories about the economy in that there is no argument in the investment world about what matters most the discrepancies between various investment theories require alternative explanations that do not rely on political ideology or moral sentiment It would seem sufficient to declare that the widespread adoption of theories like Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) was enabled by the growth of a large middle class with excess income available for investment that had not directly experienced the boom and bust of the Roaring 20’s and accelerated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 Entrepreneurially minded financial industry professionals saw an opportunity but this opportunity required a more streamlined approach to investing and one that would put themselves The need to bring order to the chaotic world of prices has encouraged the adoptions of systematic investment strategies that claimed the ability to quantify risk When it comes to investing other people’s money easy-to-understand theory that provides the illusion of control is a very valuable tool it is no wonder how theories purporting to quantify risk and target reward proliferated so quickly It was in everyone’s interest that they do so How these theories came together to form the dominant ideological template of risk-adjusted-return measured against exposure to the broader market is the essence of today’s episode Its significance can be found in the implications associated with equating diversification with correlation: trading idiosyncratic risk for systemic risk and what happens when everyone is doing it Producer & Host: Demetri Kofinas Join the conversation

result of feeling 'disrespected' by Essendon chief executive Xavier Campbell who was the first Aboriginal person to win Olympic gold had played a leading role in the organisation which advocates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people 'My decision is due to the Essendon Football Club CEO Xavier (Campbell) and the disrespectful treatment I have endured by him,' Peris' resignation email explained.  'The utter disrespect I have been shown with this project is nothing short of disgraceful and I find Xavier's leadership extremely poor which is a sad reflection on the Essendon Football Club as an organisation which is why I have had to remove myself from the board due to the association with EFC. 'No wonder our Aboriginal kids continually struggle, when people like myself get so disrespected and used up by the systems. 'It is my hope that in time, the AISHoF (Aboriginal and Islander Sports Hall of Fame) will have a new home somewhere independent of the EFC because they are acting like they own our history and they most certainly do not.' One such instance in which Peris is understood to have felt disrespected, according to the Herald Sun, is when Essendon pushed back on plans to pay for the transportation of a bronze statue of Peris from Federation Square to The Hanger. The statue - worth $250,000 - is expected to be moved to the bridge which connects the city with the MCG because the Bombers refused to pay the reported $2,000 for it to be moved to Tullamarine.  Moreover, Daniel Andrews' government were reportedly willing to split the bill with the AFL club to help fund the move, but Essendon declined, while Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett contacted Campbell offering to help when he learned of the drama. However, Campbell promptly phoned Peris to ask why his counterpart was interfering. 'You would all know how much I have loved being a part of the journey, the importance of shaping the future of this country coupled with the fact that I love my brother Michael [Long] and sister Leslie,' she wrote in her email to fellow Long Walk board members. 'This decision has not come lightly because I know how much I was valued by you all and in the absence of Michael, I have always stepped-up and represented his journey, as his story is also my own. 'My decision has nothing to do with any of you or The Long Walk Foundation itself. My decision is due to (Campbell).' Campbell recently signed a two-year extension to remain in his post as Essendon chief executive - a move that has not gone down well among supporters given the Bombers' poor performances on the pitch.  Essendon legend Michael Long told the Herald Sun on Wednesday night: 'We don't want her to go,' Long told the Herald Sun on Wednesday night. 'Nova's like a sister to me and I love her. She's self-made and a very proud Aboriginal woman.' Long added that he had not read Peris's email in full, but insisted the Long Walk Foundation always 'had the great support of Xavier Campbell'.

Project description by Peris + Toral ArquitectesThe desire to obtain homes that do not require an active heating or cooling system has conditioned the entire proposal From the orientation of the building to the construction system.The construction system of load-bearing walls with 20cm thick compacted earth blocks (BTC) with a density of about 2000kg/m3 offers a lot of inertia a sufficient mass to solve the acoustics between neighbors with a single sheet the clays give it a hygrothermal behavior that allows regulation of the humidity of the environment.Social Housing in Ibiza by Peris+Toral Arquitectes Photograph by Jose Hevia.In a heterogeneous environment without a very defined urban fabric the proposal prioritizes sunlight and orientation to the sea to find the prevailing winds of the Embat during the day and the Terral at night.Three aggregation units of up to four homes per landing allow all typologies to face south and have cross ventilation which concentrates the building in one piece whose scale dialogues with the surrounding buildings in keeping with the volume of the neighboring single-family homes through discontinuities that favor the use of roof terraces as terraces or green roofs.The result is an articulated volumetry which multiplies the number of corners –vortices– of the building to increase the speed of the air This solution improves ventilation in a climate like that of Ibiza in which the behavior of the building in summer is of particular concern.Social Housing in Ibiza by Peris+Toral Arquitectes Photograph by Jose Hevia.The project proposes a system of interconnecting rooms in a staggered fashion inserted between the main load-bearing and interlocking walls so that the structure shapes the space The system does not distinguish between the aggregation and the housing units but values the room as a spatial and project unit Each 4mx3m module consists of 12 m2 of surface regardless of use.The units consist of between four and six modules responding to a social housing program of one are made of larch wood that contrasts with the rawness of the earth The arrangement of the kitchen-dining room in the center of the house eliminates corridors and makes domestic work visible so that the living room gives space to the rest of the rooms until it equalizes them eliminating the hegemony of the living room to optimize the plan and obtain its maximum performance.In order to reduce energy demand there is a roof over the patio that works as an atrium in winter and as a solar chimney in summer the building becomes compact and captures heat through the galleries and atriums and is sheltered with a cork ETICS to avoid thermal bridges and infiltrations The inertia allows us to keep the heat during the night in summer the atrium is opened and the solar protections are deployed to increase the form factor of the building allowing it to dissipate heat and increasing the speed of the air to improve the thermal sensation and comfort.Social Housing in Ibiza by Peris+Toral Arquitectes Photograph by Jose Hevia.The atrium is not only an environmental sustainability strategy as it brings together circulations and community spaces to foster the social relations that build the community An access passage that connects the three lobbies articulates the gradient of intermediate spaces between the street and the community patios.The use of the same materials both in the home and in the community spaces the building has a wide spectrum of intermediate spaces Peris + Toral Arquitectes Technical Architect.- José Luis

Indigenous Olympian and former Federal senator Nova Peris has shared a photo of the magazine taken by her husband Scott Appleton when he flew from Alice Springs to Darwin on Tuesday. The magazine was in the seat pocket in front of the elderly lady next to Mr Appleton and appeared to be a spiteful reaction to the Welcome to Country broadcast by the airline before each landing.  The message said that 'no one respects' Indigenous people, labelling them as 'lazy' using a racist slur. 'Stop the stupid respect to Elders bulls***,' the second line read. 'Here's to hoping Qantas tell their cleaning contractors to remove Qantas books from planes with racist messages written on them,' Ms Peris wrote. Those commenting also expressed their dismay.  'Dreadful, ignorant racist statement, the magazine should have definitely been seen & removed by staff,' one person wrote. 'Cleaning staff need to be more vigilant but also people need to show respect for others,' commented another.  Mr Appleton is reported to have alerted a flight attendant about the defaced magazine, which was then removed.  'They handled the situation very well, and were extremely sensitive in the way it was handled,' he told the National Indigenous Times. Qantas expressed its shock and regret over the defaced magazine. 'We are appalled that someone would make these racist remarks,' a Qantas spokesperson told Yahoo News.  'We are committed to supporting our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and are proud that our crew acknowledge country for every flight landing in Australia.'
