Ear-bashing THANKS for highlighting the danger to public health caused by people deliberately modifying vehicles to emit ear-splitting levels of noise (“Roar Wounds,” Voice, November 5, 2022).

THIS week Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, dubbed “dangerous” by WA media, was in Perth for two public lectures. The West Australian newspaper’s description of him as a “gateway to far-right extremism” was hard to reconcile with the mild, esoteric, and slightly flat performance Prof Peterson delivered at Tuesday night’s show at HBF Stadium.

IS convenience a euphemism for poor quality? Maybe in some quarters, but a lot of eateries are now managing to strike the balance between good quality food and everyday affordability.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on Brown Street is on the top floor (level 3) with great views of the city…

THE Pride Parade returns to the streets of Northbridge today (Saturday November 26) after a two-year absence. The parade was cancelled due to a pandemic in 2020, and moved to more spacious grounds at Gloucester Park in 2021 so people could spread out in line with WA Health Department advice. The parade’s return to Northbridge…

A PLAN for five inner-city councils to collaborate on an e-scooter share scheme has fallen apart after the City of Perth got cold feet. Originally Perth was meant to be part of a five-way collaboration to trial e-scooters between Vincent, South Perth, Subiaco, and Victoria Park councils, taking in UWA and Kings Park. But Perth…

SMOKING and vaping are officially outlawed in the five town centres in Vincent as of November 22. For the first six months smokers will be ‘educated’ rather than fined for lighting up.

BAYSWATER-BASED women’s refuge Orana House has marked a milestone of helping 10 families escape violence and get into rental housing. Housing the families was an uphill battle against a lack of affordable housing and landlords who are reluctant to take on tenants who’ve fled family domestic violence. Orana House has operated as a shelter and…
