“If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it’s that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh… well, there it is.” – Dr Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park.

By Nick Palmisano

Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of the most represented theropods in the history of dinosaurs on screen. The original beastie, T. Rex gave me both chilling nightmares and feverish dreams of pursuing palaeontology as a child, after being mesmerized in the original film, Jurassic Park.

The primary reason there are three movies is because we never learn anything. We create dinosaurs. T. Rex is amazingly scary. Dinosaurs eat us. Money is good. Let’s try again. Double the serving of T. Rex. Disaster. One more time. Spinosaurus. Death.

Twenty years on from the events of Jurassic Park and the idiot humans are still not learning anything. Enter Jurassic World, the brand new fourth entry into the beloved film franchise. The park is open! A sight I’ve dreamed for the better part of 15 years. People! Shameless Samsung product placement! Screaming children riding baby Triceratops! Wait. What? Yes, that’s right. Children are literally plodding around on baby dinosaurs, a 165 million year old petting zoo. How delightful!

However you imagined the park to look once it finally became a fully-fledged tourist destination, I guarantee you’ll be impressed by the length park operations have gone to ensure it feels like you never left Dreamworld Gold Coast. Everything is blue and tropical and beautiful, and the cafes are probably full of $9 milkshakes.

Despite the milkshakes bringing all the families to the yard, the park is struggling. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas-Howard) is the Park Operations Manager, under pressure from corporate to raise profit and up the ‘wow’ factor. Apparently regular dinosaurs just don’t cut the mustard with attendees anymore. Consumerism at its finest.

There are literally people texting during a T. Rex feeding. Our girl is old news for the younger generation. Don’t worry though, Dr Henry ‘Frankenstein’ Wu (B.D. Wong), (the only cast member to return from the original film) has all the answers. Enter the first hybrid dinosaur, a monstrosity cooked up in the lab a la Walter White style, the Indominus Rex, an amalgamation of a bunch of other quite-scary-enough dinosaurs.

For the fourth time, life finds a way. Indominus is ridiculously smart, powerful, and has the ability to camouflage. Not to mention she’s insane from being kept in isolation. Thus, maverick raptor whisperer and trainer Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) gets in on the action courtesy of script-mandated romance with Howard, in an attempt to stop Indominus and rescue Claire’s nephews caught up in the chaos.

It really is quite the spectacle I had been hoping for. Yes, there’s a lot of CGI. Before seeing the film I was of the mind this would detract from the animatronic engineering I admired so much in the original, but this is not the case. There are a ton of trailers online, but none of them truly give away the inner workings of the film, nor its scene structure.

Once again the dinosaurs are the true stars of this film, and it’s a real joy to watch them command the screen, even with the lack of animatronics. There are a lot more dinosaurs this time around, eighteen different kinds to be precise, appearing in many of the locales you would recognize from the original Jurassic Park.

At once a throwback, a commemoration to the original, seminal film, and a fresh entry for the Jurassic Park legacy, there’s a lot here for diehard fans to be excited about, and a lot of nostalgia for those who grew up with dinosaurs.

Jurassic World makes the same mistakes its predecessors did, but it does so with a ton of flair, humour, and cheeky awareness, undoubtedly finding its way.

An estimated 200 Townsville residents joined thousands of protestors across Australia and internationally, making their voices heard in the ongoing fight against the forced closure of remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia.  

By Sophie Dillon

The Call to Action Protest is a response to the announcement of WA Premier Colin Barnett that more than a hundred Aboriginal communities in the state faced imminent closure.

Townsville protest took place on May 1 at 08:15am outside Stockland Shopping Centre with protestors blocking the Nathan St and Ross River Road intersection for 15 minutes.

James Cook University lecturer Maxwell Lenoy, one of the organisers of the Townsville Call to Action Protest says he is against the Government’s decision.

“Governments should not have the freedom to force communities to close without consent and without a valid reason,” Lenoy says.

The Federal Government is backing Premier Barnett’s announcement and sees the closure as a cost-saving measure for the state’s struggling economy.

Lenoy says the Western Australia government has been doing the closure in secret.

“They [government] are forcing communities to be evacuated by hiring security firms to come in and move people out without any consent and without any forward plan in place to help those members when they then are moved to another regional city.

“The national and international call to action will make it clear to the Government that the community, Indigenous and all Australians, are aware that this is happening and that they will not stand for it,” Lenoy says.

The proposed closure plans attracted widespread condemnation particularly as they followed Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s comments that taxpayer’s shouldn’t be expected to fund the “lifestyle choices” of Aboriginal people who live on their homelands.

JCU Indigenous Support Officer Florence Onus says she fears that if the proposed policy succeeds in Western Australia and South Australia, then the same can happen elsewhere, including Queensland.

“We’re marching because the Western Australia government announced that they’re going to close 150 Aboriginal remote communities, “ Florence says.

A similar policy is being considered in South Australia, she says.

“The Federal Government supports this so we’re very concerned here in Townsville that that’s going to set a precedent for every state and territory.”

The main organizer of the Call to Action protest Meyalah Blackman agrees with Onus and is concerned that the forced removal will reach Queensland remote communities.

“It’s a ripple effect; the buck doesn’t just stop at the removal of Western Australian communities. It’ll affect everybody in the long run,” Blackman says.

One of the many Non-Indigenous Australians who joined in the Townville Call to Action, Josh Denman, felt that it was important to show support for the cause.

“It’s all well and good for me to sit at home and say that the forced closure of these communities is a bad thing, but it’s another thing to come out and make a stand and actually do something about it,” he says.

An Indigenous Australian from Palm Island, Whanjullah joined the protest to stand together with the local, national and international community.

“The reason why we’ve all come out here is to stand in solidarity with the people right across the world about the forced closures of our communities, ” Whanjullah says.

The protests have been covered by social media, running in conjunction with a digital campaign that emboldens people to join in the fight by declaring their support under the hashtag #SOSBlakAustralia.

Many well known names have thrown their support behind the Call to Action campaign including Hugh Jackman, The Veronicas, and Hilltop Hoods. Academics such as Victoria Grieves, Craig Moritz and Sandy Toussaint have also added their voice to the conversation.

James Cook University archaeology students visited Laos on a research trip to study the Plain of Jars, with funding from the New Colombo Plan.

By Nick Palmisano

Eight JCU College of Arts, Society and Education (CASE) archaeology students returned from a research trip to the Plain of Jars, an ancient site in Laos, with funding from the New Colombo Plan covering their travel costs.

Six of the eight students received grants from the New Colombo mobility grant to assist them with travel and research expenses.

The New Colombo Plan is an initiative from the Liberal Government, an evolution of Labour’s AsiaBound program, which was designed to provide opportunities for Australian tertiary students to visit South East Asia for study and research experience.

The NCP opens up scholarship options for both long and short term exchanges, including mobility grants designed for research trips like the Laos project.

Archaeology major Hollie Gill received $3000 to fund her journey to Laos which was essential for her to take part in the project.

“The grant covered all of my flights as well as some extra costs like part of my accommodation, says Hollie.

“Gaining experience in the field is an essential part of any degree, especially archaeology, and would not have been financially possible for me without this grant.”

Hollie hopes that the Laos project brings more awareness about the situation in Laos, and encourages discussion around its leftover explosives.

“I think archaeological work at the Plain of Jars will assist in developing and promoting tourism within the area, especially if it is eventually declared a World Heritage Site, says Hollie.

“This will hopefully bring funding for more extensive clearing of the UXO for the communities, as well as assisting the rehabilitation programs in place.”

ARTEFACT: Lan Xang Smoking Pipe found at the Plain of Jars

Plain of Jars Site

The Plain of Jars is a grassy plateau in central Laos’ Xieng Khouang province, surrounded by mountains, creating a bowl like valley that was once home to a Bronze Age culture.

This civilization is assumed to be responsible for the creation of hundreds of stone jars of various sizes, some only three feet high, with the larger ones measuring ten feet. Archaeologists don’t yet know their true purpose or origin but there are many theories.

JCU archaeology professor and research trip organizer, Dr Nigel Chang, offers one of the more accepted explanations.

“The jars may have something to do with people burying their dead, or filling them up with crematory remains.

“The problem is the jars were discovered a long time ago by international scientists, and they’ve been known about in the country for a lot longer.

“Most of the jars have been heavily looted and are now missing a lot of artefacts, so they’re a bit of a mystery to work out what they’re for, and we don’t know who the people who made them were,” he said.

During the Vietnam War, the US military dropped more than two million tons of bombs on Laos. Today it is estimated that there are 80 million unexploded bombs still remaining in the country.

Unexploded Ordinance Teams accompanied Nigel, his students, and other researchers, clearing areas of explosives before archaeological work could begin. The process is painstaking, as Nigel says.

“Every area we work has to be cleared one way or another, by people who know what they’re doing so we don’t find unexploded bombs when we’re excavating. We do a lot of traditional surveys, walking across the land very precisely, very carefully, and that becomes much harder to do,” says Nigel.

The Cane Toad is listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999) as being a threat to the survival, abundance, or evolutionary development of native species in Australia due to their rapid spread and negative impact on native wildlife. 

By Jemma Boisen & Jayde Baguley

The Australian Government is increasing efforts to control the cane toad population and reduce the impact on native wildlife in parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory and Northern areas of New South Wales by funding research into how the biodiversity impacts of the cane toad can be better managed.

Efforts to eradicate them include the management of government controlled lands, a cane toad advisory group, and community action such as Toad Day Out.

COUNCIL SAYS: Land Protection Officer for the Townsville Council, Luke Playford. SOURCE: Jemma Boisen

Land Protection Officer for the Townsville Council, Luke Playford, said that Toad Day Out aims to control feral animals to look after native wildlife and to focus on the toad because it is an urban animal and easy to catch.

“For people at home we recommend people catch them, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the fridge for a day and put them in the freezer. That puts them to sleep,” Mr Playford said.

Another method for humanely disposing of toads is the use of an RSPCA approved product spray HopStop which causes the toad to become unconscious and die.

Between 2008 and 2010 the Government provided over $3 million to develop a national cane toad plan and fund research and development for sustainable control measures.

The Government’s current plan, the Stop the Toad Foundation (STTF), has built a mesh fence that is designed to keep cane toads out of an area but allow other native animals to pass through in native parks.

The STTF states, “It (the fences) will be monitored for the next few years to determine its success and the biodiversity inside and outside the fence once toads arrive.”

The fences are cost effective, easy to build and offer a practical solution to limiting the spread of toads from the more arid areas of Australia.

In addition to these fences, City councils in Cairns, Townsville, and many other areas organize annual Toad Day Out events, where locals humanely capture toads and give them to the council.

They run competitions to see who can catch the heaviest toad and have cane toad races.

Through funding events such as the Toad Day Out, the public is encouraged to be proactive in the removal of cane toads from the environment.

The growing cane toad population is threatening native wildlife, particularly the lives of native frogs.

Female cane toads can lay anywhere from 8,000-30,000 eggs at any time, significantly more than native frogs who can only lay 1,000-2,000 eggs a year.

Some people may also mistake small frogs for cane toads due to similar characteristics like colour and skin texture.

“We [Toad Day Out] don’t accept toads smaller than 50 millimetres in length so there is no chance of catching native frogs,” Mr Playford said.

A 2004 study showed that cane toads had a significant impact on the nesting habits of rainbow bee-eaters, destroying one third of their ground nests and eating their eggs and young.

According to National Geographic, in 1935 around 3,000 cane toads were released into sugarcane fields to reduce the cane beetle populations.

This was unsuccessful and since 1935 the cane toad population is estimated to have risen into the millions.

Julia, an environmental education major, said that poetry is something that she and her friends really enjoy at home in the United States.

“It’s been great sharing something that shows my identity and giving back to the university.”

“I hope to organize more slams before I go back home, hopefully once a month,” Miss Dunn said.

The poetry slam featured nine poets who had four to five poems written, and was hosted by JCU student and comedian from the Comedy Generation, Laurie Page.

One of the first applicants, 17 year old Chloe Dow, said the night was a major success.

“I was really happy that I made it into the second round…I feel more confident in my writing and oral skills now because of the poetry slam,” Chloe said.

The poetry slam progressed through four elimination rounds resulting in a winner, Olivia Lee Mei Lin.

Olivia, a Malaysian exchange student, experienced competitive poetry writing for the first time.

“I saw the poetry slam flyer and my friends suggested I do it.”

“This was the first time I wrote something serious,” Olivia said.

Julia received many applicants for the slam but had to turn some away due to popularity.

Julia hopes the next slam is bigger and better with a more vocal audience.

“Back home in New York the audience yells out and participates more with the poet,” said Julia.

The Queensland State Government has failed to give James Cook University any reason as to why an Indigenous Representative was not appointed to the University’s Council.

It is the first time in almost 20 years that there has been an absence of indigenous representation on the Council.

JCU Council Secretary Michael Kern says it is a very disappointing matter.

“We were given no reason as to why someone wasn’t appointed,” Kern says.

“On this occasion, the government actually didn’t support our nominations, which is quite unusual.

“The two previous governments did support the recommendations.

“We have a pretty gold star process on how we choose [a candidate].

“It is very annoying.”

Mr Kern says, however,  JCU has no statutory obligations to have an indigenous representative in Council.

“The Council can still do its job.

“However it is just really important for us and the university to have an Indigenous person participating in decision making at the highest level.”

The Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Reference Group are working on developing a process that could help ensure that an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander representative will be appointed in the future.

“So really now, the only avenue left for the university would be through its additional member and because of all the uncertainty that was going on in the lead up to the transitional hand over period, the Chancellor asked the Council to extend the appointment of the current additional member, Mr Ernie Landy through to the end of 2014,” Kern says.

“So potentially at the end of this process, and we now know who’s on the council.

“If there was no Indigenous representative and the Council thought that it was very important, they could well move to seek to appoint a new representative but it would require quite a deal of lobbying and support.

“I think we’re the second highest university with Indigenous enrolments.

“I think it’s a valid question to ask; why don’t we have a representative.”

JCU is the only university in the Western Hemisphere who has a main library named after an indigenous member of the community.

Former advisor to the Vice Chancellor on Indigenous matters and current Adjunct Professor at JCU Gracelyn Smallwood says she is disappointed that not many people are investigating into the matter more.

“I think it’s very sad that there’s not too many people kicking up about it actually,” Smallwood says.

“I am extremely disappointed especially where there is such a major disparity between educational outcomes, between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians which is why there’s such a big promotion in government and non-government institutions about closing the gap.”

Smallwood says she is displeased regarding the current political climate.

“I would strongly advise the Council to ask why there isn’t an Indigenous representative.”

JCU Chancellor John Grey says he wasn’t impressed by the decision either.

“I think its very disappointing that we don’t have an Indigenous representative at the moment and that was the decision by the government,” Grey says.

“I’m not impressed by that especially considering our dedication towards reconciliation.”

Athletes from James Cook University are preparing to compete in men’s basketball, volleyball and mixed touch at the Northern University Games in July.

By Gabrielle Vacher

Students from JCU are spending five days of the mid-semester break contending against like-minded students from across the region in the Northern University Games on the Sunshine Coast.

The 35 JCU representatives will be competing in the men’s basketball, volleyball, and mixed touch with the anticipation of qualifying for the Australian University Games, to be held in Sydney from the 28^th September to the 3^rd October.

JCU Sport and Recreation Officer Renee Frizzell is in charge of the preparations for the Games.

“Northern University Games are quite different to the Australian University Games,” Renee says.

“The Northern, Southern and Eastern Games are regional and determine which universities will qualify for division 2 of the more popular sports at the Australian Games – netball, lawn bowls, tenpin bowling, mixed touch, men’s basketball, indoor volleyball, soccer, and hockey. The rest of division 2 is established by the teams that did well at the Australian Games the previous year.”

After placing third in division 2 at the Australian University Games grand final last year, the JCU mixed touch team automatically qualifies to compete in division 2 again in 2014.

“Despite the fact that we already qualify for the Australian Games, we’re sending a mixed touch team down with the aim of taking out the gold,” says Renee.

“Last year we lost in the Northern Games grand final against Griffith Gold Coast who along with the Queensland University of Technology will be our toughest competitors.

“Our team is stronger than last year – we have Betty Mareko who is an Australian touch representative and will be an outstanding addition.”

Although unsuccessful in 2013, Renee has high expectations for the JCU men’s basketball and volleyball team.

“We have so much new and competitive young sporting talent in the basketball team especially, I hope that the boys do well,” she says.

“Plus it really is fantastic to have a handful of athletes from Cairns competing in our volleyball team, unfortunately last year our representatives were from the Townsville campus only.”

The University Games have built an enormous reputation dubbed as one of the ‘best weeks’ of a student’s life, renowned for providing a friendly but competitive environment combining the perfect mix of athleticism, sportsmanship and opportunity to socialise with thousands of students from across Queensland and New South Wales.

Mixed touch team member Bri Rossato is thrilled to be competing in the Northern Games again.

“I went last year and had an amazing time,” Bri says.

“It’s quite similar to the Australian University Games, but with a more tight-knit group.

“It was such a great week, with decent competition and a decent bunch of people.”

JCU students highlight struggles of bullying and friendship.

By Sandra Haaland

Bullying, teenage struggles and friendship were a few of the themes depicted in Art Curriculum One’s play ‘Gemma and Kate and Willow’  last week.

The inspiration for the play came from everyday stories told by year eight girls from St Margaret Mary’s College.

Art Curriculum One student Shauna Crabbe with help from fellow students wrote ‘Gemma and Kate and Willow’ which was performed by students for St Margaret Mary’s College and JCU.

“The girls at the school really enjoyed talking to us and said they connected with the topics discussed and they could recognize that we had used some of their stories in the play,” Shauna says.

“We basically took the stories as inspiration and changed it into a script, because we had to choose a storyline and tried to incorporate the ideas and story’s from the girls.”

The play takes place at a college with scenes from the classroom, bus stop, bus and a park.

Play: Students performing the play.

For the past seven weeks, JCU students have been interviewing the girls, converting their stories into a script and rehearsing the play.

Shauna says the process of making the script was a long road, but she is happy with the outcome.

“I had to rewrite the script a fair few times and as our class are very respectful to each other, no one would step on anyone’s toes and because of that we were circling our tales for about five weeks before our final product was made,” Shauna says.

The students also introduced social media platform Facebook as a ‘character,’ played by drama major student Laurence Page.

Laurence Page as the ‘character’ Facebook

“To do Facebook was an excellent idea, and the college girls loved it,” Laurence says.

“In a process like this I find it very hard to do the same thing every week and a good actor would just do the lines and change it up but I just had to mess with the script entirely but it made it fun and kept people interested I hope.”

Acting: Laurence Page as the ‘character’ Facebook

It is the first time that an Art Curriculum One class has performed a project like this at JCU.

“We are the first group to do this and there are some kinks that need to be worked out for the next group,” Laurence says.

“It gives an opportunity to students who don’t have a lot of experience with drama to implement actual drama techniques, were sitting in a classroom and taking notes isn’t giving them that knowledge.”

25 John Flynn College residents are fundraising to change the lives of thousands of young people living in extreme poverty.

By Gabrielle Vacher

James Cook University students fundraising for Oaktree’s Live Below the Line campaign have reached the final month of donations.

Along with thousands of Australian participants, 25 John Flynn College residents restricted themselves to eat only $2 worth of food a day between May 5^th and May 9^th to better understand and raise awareness for extreme poverty.

Although college students have little control over the meals prepared in the dining hall, Brenton Mayer and Rosie Mathews coordinated with the chefs to provide the 25 participants with five days of cheap nutrition.

“Brenton, myself and 28 others were keen to tackle the Live below the Line challenge in 2013, but we didn’t see how it would be feasible to prepare all of our meals on college with such a large group participating and such limited cooking facilities to share,” Rosie says.

“Our head chef Rob and the rest of the cooking staff were very supportive and helpful when we approached them about coordinating with us, and it was so successful last year that they were more than happy to take part take this year as well.”

Challenge: JCU students are endeavouring to ‘Live Below the Line.’

Rosie says the cooperation of the kitchen staff encouraged more students to participate.

“Knowing that the meals would be prepared for us definitely had a huge impact on the number of residents who decided to partake in the challenge,” she says.

“We students only had to organise the ingredients by pooling our money and then buying all of the food in bulk, which was split evenly between us.

“The cooks also asked us for meal ideas and the Live below the Line website provided some great recipes that we adapted, and even students from Flynn had some awesome ideas and improvements from last year.

“Most importantly, by collaborating with the kitchen staff we were able to raise so much more awareness on college as we were eating our meals at the same time and in the same place as everybody else – in the dining hall.

“We even had the chance to do some fundraising during lunch and dinner.”

Rosie believes it was the ‘simple things’ that made a difference during the five days of low-budget dieting.

“It was the cheap tea, cordial and jelly that provided something tastier to our otherwise bland menu – these were considered our ‘treats’ and the sugar hit definitely increased the moral of the group!”

“Apart from that we had ‘no brand’ bread, jam, and butter to share for the week, as well as some corn flakes for breakfast and rice, pasta and frozen vegetables for dinner,” Rosie says.

John Flynn College residents Sky Brunker and Emma Green struggled to find the energy for sport and physical activity throughout the five-day challenge.

“Receiving only carb-based foods for every meal affected me, as the change was so rapid and I was no longer receiving the essential vitamins and nutrients I needed,” Sky says.

“My immune system become quite vulnerable and I fell sick towards the end of the trial.

“The biggest problem was then how much the diet affected my ability to do physical activity – I would become instantly light-headed and if I continued I would become quite nauseous.”

“We really did eat so much white bread and rice!” says Emma.

“Overall it wasn’t as bad as I expected, particularly considering our college did it in a large group – it is easier having people to do it with you.

“I really missed fruit and vegetables though, and it was definitely a struggle to play sport.”

The Live below the Line movement is run by Oaktree, Australia’s largest youth-run organisation with over 150,000 members and funded almost entirely by public donations.

Since 2010 it has grown into a multi-million-dollar fundraising campaign that dedicates 90.1 per cent of all money raised to those living in poverty by providing scholarships, renovating schools and training teachers to offer quality education for thousands of young people in East Timor, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea.

Rosie, Sky and Emma agree that the campaign is one of the best ways to raise awareness for extreme poverty.

“It was a massive eye opener for me to consider how many people live on less than this for a lot longer than five days,” Sky says.

“It is an amazing cause that is changing so many lives for the better and I would definitely encourage more people to participate.”

“Even though living on $2 of food a day is clearly not in any way close to simulating the lives of people living in extreme poverty, it does release a strong message,” Rosie says.

“The World Bank estimates that extreme poverty may be eliminated by 2030, so if Oaktree can spread awareness and trigger some much needed action then this is certainly a worthwhile cause!”
