Where chainstores failed to get a foothold - or considered it not really worthwhile, proper little family owned small traders have remained in business, for decades. Thankfully, Shrewsbury seemed to get the balance about right.
Sure we had a Virgin Records, an HMV, Starbucks and all that. Waterstones did their usual 'cuckoo-in-the-nest' thing to several independent bookshops nearby, too. But generally, they've not allowed Tesco and their like into town, thereby preserving some of the town's character. And for that the town planners can be applauded.
They're only small and still quite new, but we do have a vinyl only indie record shop, now.

(c) paragraph (b) of this order shall operate as a limitation of debate under standing order 142.
I intend to move an amendment to the motion to omit paragraphs (b) and (c). The Centre Alliance is no stranger to standing order 142. I was here in the chamber on 20 June and listened to how people were absolutely disgusted that the government would deploy such a tactic. I'm not walking away from the fact that we supported that at the time, but I point out it was a tactic that basically sought to guillotine the committee stage of a bill. In this instance, we have a couple of bills that are going to be debated and put through the chamber this morning, and there's a risk that one of them won't even get a second reading debate. Something that the Centre Alliance doesn't support at all—in any way, shape or form—is the gagging of second reading debates.
I do this without the theatrics and without any histrionic contribution. I just simply want to make it very clear that to allow only two hours for these two important bills is extremely problematic.
Let's talk about the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Bill 2017. That bill is, of course, enabling legislation for the TPP. The TPP is a significant agreement that has been worked on for a decade. The only opportunity the parliament gets to deal with this particular bill—and I know that people on the Labor side of the Senate support me in saying this, because our treaty process is so broken and there have been so many recommendations about how to change it—and the only chance this parliament really gets to have a say in any of the treaties that we sign up to is when it comes to enabling legislation. That's what we're dealing with here.
Yesterday and the day before we dealt with customs bills. Today we are being asked to consider at the committee stage the judicial review bill. I tell the minister that I have a number of very detailed questions that go absolutely to the bill and an understanding of how the bill is written, how it would affect Australian companies and how it would affect the procurement process. I'd like the opportunity to ask those in a calm, civilised, unpressured environment. I know that Senator Whish-Wilson has some questions, as does Senator Hanson-Young, relating to other elements of the TPP, understanding that a consequence of passing that bill is that the TPP will come into force. I've made the chamber well aware of our concerns with that—the first concern being that there are ISDS provisions in that bill.
On ISDS provisions: I understand the argument from the government. They say that they protect Australian companies. But, unfortunately, the bill has an adverse effect here in Australia. We've seen the case of Philip Morris. Philip Morris brought an action against Australia in relation to tobacco plain packaging. They did so after the tobacco companies challenged this parliament in our High Court as to whether the legislation that enabled the tobacco plain packaging to come into effect was lawful. They challenged that in our High Court, and they lost—they lost. They then set up a company in Hong Kong and sought to use the ISDS provisions in that arrangement that we had between Hong Kong and Australia. Just so the chamber is clear, Centre Alliance supported Australia in opposing that particular ISDS claim. Indeed the Commonwealth, rightly, argued that the tribunal was without jurisdiction, because Philip Morris had set up the company in Hong Kong specifically for the purposes of initiating ISDS, and the tribunal found that it did not have jurisdiction in that case. So Australia was successful in that.
But the taxpayer, unfortunately, was made to bear the cost of that case. The government, for well over two years, tried to keep the cost of that case secret. They were asked at estimates, and they made claims about cabinet in confidence. I note that there are a lot of cabinet-in-confidence claims being made around this chamber and, indeed, across the Senate committee rooms. Most of them are very flawed and most of them undermine the doctrine. Nonetheless, former Senator Xenophon and I beat down that claim until the department recognised that they were on a loser. They then switched to international relations and said, 'Well, we can't do this because it will damage international relations.' Finally, when the Information Commissioner ruled in favour of former Senator Xenophon, the department took it to the AAT, spending more taxpayers' money to try and prevent us finding out how much that cost. The Productivity Commission had, somehow, guessed $50 million but we now know the truth. It was $39 million—$39 million in legal fees as a result of an action raised under ISDS.
What the ISDS provisions seek to do is take the sovereign risk that is borne by corporations and pass that risk to the taxpayer. I understand why the Liberal Party might want to do that; because they don't want their corporate donors to have any sovereign risk. They'd rather that that risk sit with the taxpayer; the taxpayer who has to pay for it out of some budget that would otherwise go to support the social structure of this country.
We are highly offended by the ISDS. I know the government once again says, 'No, it's good,' but even the Europeans are walking away from it. President Trump has removed it from the NAFTA. Other very solid jurisdictions that don't have crazy leaders or do strange things are walking away from ISDS. It's actually part of the Labor Party national platform not to support trade deals with ISDS, yet we've seen at least six occasions over the last couple of days where Labor have voted against their own national platform.
The other area of concern is labour market testing. We have traversed this topic in the past few days, but it applies also to the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Bill 2017, because it now is the last thing that stands in the way of the TPP-11 agreement coming into force for this country. The waiving of that labour market testing will allow foreign companies to bring workers into Australia without having to test to find out whether or not there is some Australian worker who can do that job. We may have electricians come in from overseas who don't even understand some of our wiring rules, so it's not just about workers; it's also about safety. I know this because I've listened to what the unions have had to say, through the media and through submissions that they've made.
Once again, I find it totally disturbing that the Labor Party, who have a fundamental objection to the waiving of labour market testing, yesterday on numerous occasions voted to allow that to occur. One Nation were against it. The Greens were against it. Centre Alliance had pronounced that it would not support it. That left it to Labor. Labor had the choice. They could have rejected this. We are not saying: walk away from the TPP. We just need to cut the cancer out. In fact, we even put up a motion yesterday that would allow the TPP to enter into effect but sunset, so that we would make it very clear to foreign nations that indeed the Labor Party were committed to removing this, and the enabling legislation would expire on 1 January 2020. But they didn't want to vote for that. They've done a deal with the coalition, just as they've done a deal here to try to shut down discussion. So we do need to have a solid committee stage for the judicial review bill.
The other bill that we are being asked to consider is the Treasury Laws Amendment (Lower Taxes for Small and Medium Businesses) Bill 2018. I want to put on the record that Centre Alliance supports this bill. However, we have to ask: what's the urgency? Why do we have to get it through the parliament today?
I've got an interjection from Senator Whish-Wilson. He's suggesting it might be because there's a by-election in Wentworth on Saturday. We must absolutely recognise that that is what this is about. This is not measured policy.
I have great respect for Senator Cormann. He always works through legislation carefully. He negotiates well with the crossbench. He is very honourable in his representations to us. He does what he says he will do. So I'm very surprised that, in this instance, you are now seeking to guillotine the committee stage and almost completely gag the second reading stage of a bill. You know that that is not the way democracies are supposed to work. It surprises me that you would support this motion to guillotine and gag, particularly in the circumstances where there is no hurry. The TPP negotiations have been going on for over a decade. We don't have to rush this today. The tax cuts aren't going to come in the moment we pass the legislation. What is the urgency? I get it that sometimes there are urgent bills that pass through the parliament—the legislation on strawberries, for example—when we are dealing with an urgent issue, and the parliament works extremely well. I don't understand why it is that they are seeking to do this.
She went on and on, saying how bad this was. That was an instance where we had allowed debate. I hope I get to ask some questions; I do have some genuine questions to ask on the judicial review bill. We're actually going into a situation where, presumably, no-one gets to speak during the second reading of the tax bill. Through you, Madam Deputy President, do people really find that acceptable? Does Senator Cormann find that acceptable? Does Senator Fifield find that acceptable? Does Senator Wong find that acceptable that there will possibly be no debate?
I just want to point out something: I think there are about three sitting weeks left where there will be legislation that passes through this chamber and, when it passes through this chamber, there are going to be moments where the Labor Party are very opposed to it. The message you're going to send us today is, 'When that occurs, Centre Alliance, what you should do is support the government and either gag or guillotine the debate.' Is that really what you want us to do? Senator Cormann said: 'We respect that the government controls the Senate. We do that all the time. We work with you to make sure that you are managing carefully the legislation that passes through this place and we support you.' But in doing this sort of stuff, where you know it's not the right thing to do, you put that great relationship that we have in jeopardy, and that may affect you moving forward. I urge you to really think carefully about what it is that you're doing today.
What is the plan for second readings for the tax bill? Is it a case that we're simply going to allocate one speaker from each party? Is that how it's going to work? Senator Patrick doesn't get to have a say. Senator Storer doesn't get to have his say. Senator Ruston doesn't get to have her say. Senator Hanson doesn't get to have her say. Is this how this works? How are you going to do that? How are you going to manage simply not allowing anyone to speak on an important bill? I know Labor have had a bit of trouble with this bill. They might not want to talk about it because they've flipped and they've flopped and they've flipped. They may need some time to actually clarify what their position is, because some of us struggle to work out what it is. Some of us simply don't know.
We would like to hear from everyone, particularly as a crossbencher who doesn't have the great resources that the government or the Labor Party have. Sometimes we sit in this chamber and listen to what people are saying, and it actually changes our minds. It actually brings in the thought, 'Maybe we haven't considered this properly,' or, 'Maybe we have to use our influence positively to get an amendment across the line to fix something that gets raised in the speeches in the second reading debate that might be wrong.' This is very, very unfortunate territory that we are marching through. I'm extremely disappointed with the government. I will give you credit because you did give advance warning of the motion, but that doesn't change the outcome. You haven't ambushed anyone here, which is good, but it still doesn't change what the outcome is, and that is that this is a guillotine.
I want to ask some questions on the judicial review bill, which may have some significance. They're genuine questions. I'll stand to be criticised if I ask these questions and you find that they're filibustering. They're genuine questions about the operation of the bill that might assist a court in interpreting what the parliamentary will was when a litigation is commenced. There are some details in the bill—and I know quite a lot about procurement; I've been involved in it for a long time. I know some of the loopholes that are employed by departments to get around some of the rules. That might be a little bit disingenuous, but the reality is I've been on the other side of the fence, dealing in environments trying to win contracts. I know that a lot of companies get to the end of a procurement and are rather upset by the outcome. Some of that could be emotional. Some of it is simply because the company has invested a lot of time and money. But there are some uncertainties in the bill that is being put to the parliament. I'd like to have those clarified in the committee stage, and that's going to take me a little bit of time. Unfortunately, Senator Cormann, you're not allowing me any time. That's extremely disappointing.
We would like to have a say to support the bill that you are bringing into the parliament on the small to medium business tax cuts. We have some good things to say about that. We want to let our constituents know why we are supporting that, but you are, unfortunately, going to deny us that opportunity. I think that's sad.
The government will not be supporting the amendment moved by Senator Patrick. I also have very high regard for Senator Patrick and the way he engages with the government, but let me say that, if he were sincere in his wish to ask questions about the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Bill 2017, we could have spent the last 20 minutes dealing with that particular bill. In relation to those two pieces of legislation, one is, as Senator Patrick said, an enabling piece of legislation giving effect to the trans-Pacific partnership agreement. That is a debate that has been going on for some time. Indeed, the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Bill 2017 also strengthens the opportunity for small business to appeal against bad decisions of government departments in the context of procurement.
In relation to the small- and medium-sized business tax cuts legislation in particular, this is a debate that has been going on for more than two years. All we're doing with this bill is bringing forward tax cuts that have previously been legislated by this parliament, including having passed through this Senate. You might recall, we had a very, very, very lengthy debate in March 2017 when the Senate ultimately voted to reduce to 25 per cent the corporate tax rate for businesses with a turnover of up to $50 million. The decision of the time was to do that over a time period to 2026-27. Subsequently, of course, the government sought to pass legislation to implement business tax cuts down to 25 per cent over the same period for all businesses across Australia. That was unsuccessful, and everybody here in the Senate remembers the circumstances of that. That was also a pretty lengthy debate which went over months.
The government has accepted the verdict of the Senate. The government has announced very clearly that all we're trying to do here is bring forward what has already been legislated. We think it's important to provide that certainty to small- and medium-sized businesses as soon as possible so that we can have the beneficial effect of increased investment, stronger growth, more jobs and higher wages as soon as possible, because by giving that certainty to small- and medium-sized businesses at the earliest opportunity, we of course help them make investment decisions today about their future growth opportunities. I don't think it's fair to say that there hasn't been ample opportunity for debate in relation to the government's proposal to reduce the corporate tax rate for small- and medium-sized businesses with a turnover of up to $50 million in the Senate over the last two years or so. This is not the time to make a decision. I believe that there is consensus in the chamber for this to happen.
The government is very grateful that in relation to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement and the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Bill 2017 the Labor Party has backed in the national interest. We understand that that it's been a difficult debate and that some of the issues that Senator Patrick raises are issues that the Labor Party also had to work their way through. We are very grateful that ultimately the Labor Party's judgement is to back this legislation in because it's going to be good for Australia.
We're obviously not sitting next week—it's Senate estimates next week—and I think it's important for us as the Senate to deal with those two important pieces of legislation before we leave. I'm not going to hold the Senate up any longer because I want us to get to the debate as fast as we can so that Senator Patrick and others can ask questions about the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Bill and the legislation to implement tax cuts for small- and medium-sized businesses faster. I think it's important that we get on with it.
The Senate is a house of review—we're a house of review. Our job is not to be a rubber stamp for the executive. Our job is to scrutinise legislation. Our job is to slow down the pace of legislation, particularly when it is as far-reaching as some of the legislation that has been before this chamber.
Our job is not to work to a timetable dictated to by a by-election because you mob knifed your own Prime Minister and now have to face the consequences of it over the weekend. Our job is to be deliberative. Our job is to take our time. Our job is to scrutinise legislation, debate on the details of that legislation and then make considered decisions about it. That's what the role of the Senate is. We Greens take that role seriously. We take our role in scrutinising government legislation, particularly when it's legislation that this government wants to rush through at the eleventh hour on the eve of a by-election, very seriously.
Our role in this place is now being frustrated by the government, and it seems with the support of the Labor Party, for absolutely no reason other than to work to a timetable that is dictated to by a by-election and to help the Prime Minister stay in the Lodge for a few more months. I'm sorry, but we are not going to commit to reducing Australia's revenue base by $10 billion and spend less than an hour considering the implications of that.
One of the two bills that we're discussing today enables the passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership—another deal between the Liberals and the Labor Party to give more power to corporations, shut the community out and ensure that when it comes to protecting environment or public health, or indeed labour laws in this country, that we're handing over a blank cheque to huge multinationals. Yet, here we are looking to rush that legislation through at the eleventh hour because we've been dictated to by a Prime Minister who's more concerned about keeping his job than he is about looking after ordinary Australians.
And now we've got a second bill that's going to be rushed through in the next hour and a half that's going to cut taxes for companies with a turnover of up to $50 million. The government and the Labor Party are spruiking this as tax cuts for small business, but in no-one's definition is a threshold of up to $50 million a small business. These are significant medium-sized businesses—some of them large businesses—that need to make a contribution to the prosperity of this nation.
This tax cut won't take effect until July 2020, when the tax rate moves to 26 per cent; it will move to 25 per cent a year later. It's not this year; it's not next year; it's the year after that. Yet here we are rushing this legislation because the government wants to deliver certainty to small businesses, to medium sized businesses and to large businesses. It's two years out, and you're talking about certainty. You won't even be the government next year! You talk about certainty, and you're responsible for undermining certainty when it comes to some of the most significant businesses in this country. In the energy sector, where's the certainty? You've got no climate policy and no energy policy. You're undermining the only policy that's working at the moment, the Renewable Energy Target. You have been responsible for introducing massive uncertainty into the energy sector, and you've got the gall to talk about certainty for business. What a joke!
We're not going to see bakers making more bread tomorrow because you pass this legislation and rush it through the Senate in the next hour and a half without giving the opportunity for the Senate to do its job and scrutinise the legislation. There's not a single business that's going to employ one additional staff member because you rush through this bill in this time frame and move the company tax rate in two years time! Spare us the insults.
The reality is the government has decided that we will not uphold the important democratic principles on which this chamber is founded—that we are a house of review that exists to scrutinise government legislation, particularly those pieces of legislation that rip billions of dollars out of our schools and our hospitals. This is money that could be spent on increasing Newstart, addressing the homelessness crisis in this country, addressing domestic violence, closing the gap with Indigenous Australians, protecting the Great Barrier Reef, investing in climate change and addressing economic inequality in this country. Instead, you want to ram through a piece of legislation, with the support of the Labor Party, that rips billions of dollars from those areas we know desperately need it.
What's your argument? 'We've got to deliver certainty.' How remarkable! The only certainty you want to deliver is the certainty of knowing that you're shoring up your chance in the Wentworth by-election. That's the certainty you're after; it's not certainty for small business but certainty for your preselected candidate that is what you want. Do you seriously believe that a local cafe in Brisbane is going to stop making coffee if you don't pass this legislation without the scrutiny that it deserves within the next hour and a half? Do you seriously think that? Are you insulting our intelligence by doing what you're doing? Of course you are.
This isn't about being competitive on tax in 2021. It's about being competitive in Wentworth on Saturday. That's what it's about. The only reason we are being told to rush through this piece of legislation is that the Liberal Party dumped their Prime Minister. That's why we are being forced to rush it. That's what happens when you have a government governing for their own internal reasons rather than governing for the nation. Of course, we've had the latest iteration. You want to talk about certainty? How about the certainty of knowing who the Deputy Prime Minister of this country is. Let's start there. Here we are on the eve of a by-election with the prospect of Barnaby Joyce becoming the Deputy Prime Minister again. You are an embarrassment. You are an international embarrassment.
The world is looking at the Liberal Party right now and you have turned Australia into a laughing-stock. Now we're supposed to wave through a $10-odd billion hit to budget revenue because some focus group in Wentworth said it might help you shore up your chances there. There's a huge cost in doing what you are doing. You have demonstrated that you are prepared to trash our democracy when it's in your narrow political interest. That's what you've done. You've shown it time and time and time again. You've shown you don't care about democracy, you don't care about the way this chamber works. Only a few weeks ago you cancelled parliament because you were in an effort to roll the Prime Minister of this country. You've shown—when it comes to orchestrating raids on union offices and having the media there before anyone else—that you don't care about democracy. You've shown with your attacks on charities and other advocates that you don't care about democracy. You've shown with those massive corporate donations that line the pockets of the Liberal Party that you don't care about democracy. You've shown in your reluctance to support a national anticorruption watchdog that you don't care about democracy. You've shown in the way that you privilege lobbyists in this building, without any transparency, keeping the public out but keeping big business in, that you don't care about democracy in Australia.
Here we are with the motion before the Senate. Let's go to what that motion says. That motion says that within the next hour and 40 minutes we are going to debate the passage of two pieces of legislation, and in an hour and 40 minutes you will gag any further debate and we'll be forced to vote on it. We won't have the opportunity to talk about your promises around what these cuts to big business do. We won't be able to use the committee stage to interrogate the assumptions on which that policy is made. We won't be able to use the committee stage to talk about what the other options are for that $10 billion in revenue and what it could be used for.
Here we are, only a few weeks after a huge international report, the IPCC report, where nearly 100 scientists came together to sound a warning shot to the rest of the world—saying that if we don't transition our economy away from coal to renewables, we're going to lose our coral reefs; we're going to see more extreme weather; the drought that we're experiencing right now, that is crippling rural Australia, will become a regular phenomenon. Yet, you have a renewable energy sector riven with uncertainty because of the actions of this government, and you have the gall to talk about the need for certainty in the business community.
What does a tax cut do for the Great Barrier Reef? It does nothing. What does a tax cut do for those people who are sleeping rough tonight? It does nothing. What does a tax cut do for those people who can't put food on the table because Newstart condemns them to living in poverty? It does nothing. What does a tax cut do for those people on a hospital waiting list who are waiting to get their hip or knee replaced? It does nothing. What does a tax cut do for the 90 per cent of kids in public schools who won't get funding to the bare standard that they need? It does nothing. What does a tax cut do for those people who are fleeing domestic violence and can't get access to crisis accommodation? It does nothing. Yet, here we are with $10 billion ripped out of the services that we know need them and, in a desperate rush in the lead-up to the Wentworth by-election, a government, supported by the Labor Party, trashing our democracy and preventing the Senate from doing its job. We won't stand for it. We'll take this opportunity now and we'll continue to take it all the way up to the next election to highlight your hypocrisy and to highlight who you represent. You don't represent business in this country; you represent yourselves. This is a desperate pitch in the lead-up to the Wentworth by-election because you are so worried and so concerned that you're prepared to do and say anything in a desperate attempt to hold on to power. Look at that disgraceful decision to consider relocating our embassy to Jerusalem. It was met with international condemnation. You're prepared to trash the relationship with some of our most important partners. You're prepared to side with One Nation.
I'll take that interjection from Senator Patrick. You're prepared to side with the racists and bigots in this chamber.
Please take a seat, Senator Di Natale.
I rise on a point of order. I object to being called racist.
I didn't refer to anybody specifically. I said, 'You're prepared to side with the racists and bigots in this chamber.' People can draw their own inferences about who that was directed at. The reality is this is a government that's prepared to side with the racists and bigots in this chamber in a desperate attempt to hold on to power. We saw that only a few days ago when they supported that disgraceful motion that was presented in this chamber and cited as an administration error. There are no depths to which this government will not stoop. There are no depths to which they will not stoop. While we disagree, fundamentally, with Centre Alliance and Senator Patrick's support for the small business tax cuts, the one thing we do agree on is that the Senate should be allowed to do its job. While we disagree on many areas of policy, the one area that we do agree on—indeed, this is something shared by most members of the crossbench—is that we are elected here to hold governments to account regardless of their persuasion. Today, the political duopoly, the Coles and Woolies of politics, are locking us out. They are preventing us from doing our job.
We have two significant pieces of legislation before us. One piece is designed to facilitate a trade agreement that will hand over inordinate power to large corporations, that gives the power to corporations to sue governments for taking action to safeguard our environment and to protect public health. It's saying to mining companies, 'You can sue sovereign governments if they deny you a permit to exploit a particular resource.' It's saying to corporations, 'If you take action to protect the public health of our community, a corporation can now sue a sovereign government.' This is the sort of legislation that we are being prevented from scrutinising as a result of the decision of the Liberal Party with the support of the Labor Party.
We are about to have a debate in this country leading into an election around tax cuts. I fear that what we're going to see is this giveaway continue all the way to the next election—my tax cut is bigger than your tax cut. We need to know what the impact of those tax cuts is on our community. We need to know what a $10 billion tax cut does, what the opportunity cost is of ripping that money away from the essential public services that we know so desperately need them.
Again I say to you, and I urge the chamber: do not support this motion. I say this again directly to the Liberal Party: we understand what is driving the Liberal Party—desperation, clinging onto power, saving their hides. holding onto Wentworth. It's what's driven them to make those rash announcements in the lead-up to this by-election. But why on earth would the Labor Party be facilitating them in passing this motion that stops the Senate from doing its job?
I remind you again, and hope you have pause to reconsider supporting this motion: this chamber is not a rubber stamp. It is a house of review. We have been charged with an awesome responsibility by the Australian people to ensure that every bill that passes from the lower house to the Senate gets the due scrutiny it deserves. We need to slow down the pace of legislation to interrogate it, to examine unintended consequences—not to accelerate it, not to rush it through, not to jam it and ram it through, which is what this motion does.
We're supposed to be a democracy that ensures that both houses do their job. The role of the Senate is being frustrated by a government for no other reason than a desperate Prime Minister seeking to cling onto power. The Labor Party shouldn't facilitate them in doing that.
The question is that the question be now put.
The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Patrick to omit paragraphs (b) and (c) be agreed to.
The question is that Senator Fifield's motion be agreed to.

Anyone who loves the sea, or feels drawn to stories of the sea, will likely feel drawn to The Luminous Sea by Melissa Barbeau, like I was. I was even nervous going into this book – I so wanted it to be good. Happily, it is more than good – it is splendid in every way.
The Luminous Sea takes place in a small outport of Newfoundland where a couple of university researchers are studying the recent phosphorescence of the water. On one of Vivienne's trips out to collect samples, she brings in a creature she has never seen before. With excitement, she brings the creature in to her supervisor, Colleen. Together, they fashion a tank out of a chest freezer in the storage building they're using as their lab, right outside of town.
The night air is warm on the luminous sea. Water laps against the hull. There is a splash as something unseen breaches the surface of the bay and Vivienne glances overboard. The air smells of brine and bilge water. Land smells drift on the breeze – smoke from dying fires that glow like lighted matches on the far beaches, hay meadows, the smell of the woods. A fragranced world made of base notes and top notes, scents you notice right away and ones that come later, that linger. Like perfume. There are land sounds, too, but they are far away and miniature. Splinters of laughter, the heartbeat base thrum of a radio heard as if through a thick pane of glass, fading as night shuffles its way towards dawn.
Vivienne is fascinated by the creature and immediately starts referring to her as a "she" rather than the "it" preferred by her supervisors. She worries for the creature's health as time goes on, and as she watches Colleen and Isaiah perform tests and take samples. Tension builds between the colleagues until Vivienne not only does not feel welcome anymore, but no longer wants to be a part of it. She begins to wonder if there is a way to save the creature before it's too late.
Vivienne stands on the step, her hand hovering over the handle, before swinging the door wide and stepping over the threshold and into the lab. The late afternoon sunlight follows hers in, splashing across the dusty floor. Colleen sits at the work bench entering data sets into an Excel spreadsheet. Isaiah hunches over a microscope, peering into the eyepiece. Vivienne's shadow, long and slinky, stretches across the room to touch him. She feels a shudder of revulsion, and moves so it reaches, instead, to stroke the freezer.
In addition to the compelling plot of the story, The Luminous Sea is beautifully written. The imagery and atmosphere of the novel is mesmerizing. The reader is right there in the outport with the characters and you can feel the spark and sizzle in the air as Vivienne lurks around Damson Bay, out of the way of Colleen and Isaiah (especially Isaiah – as disagreeable as Colleen's temper is, Isaiah's false joviality is worse). Vivienne befriends Tama, who runs the cafe (and makes preserves out of jellyfish!), and who might have her own reasons for wanting to help Vivienne out.
I have a fondness for jellyfish.
The fishermen stopping in for a cup of coffee after coming off the water offer ever more apocalyptic opinions about the jellyfish blooms smothering the coastline: they're getting so thick, maid, the boat brings up short on them; the bay's going to be a bowl of gelatine, mix in a little custard and you'll have dessert; I believe they must go all the way down — won't be long now you'll be able to jump off the cliff by the lighthouse and bounce your way over to the far point.
If you've been wondering at all about picking this book up, please do!
The storm cloud breaks and a deluge of irritation comes pelting down on Vivienne. She has not brought an umbrella.
The last thing she needs is wings and antennae in her jellies, faceted eyes staring out as if preserved in amber, waiting to be spread on toast.
She wonders if, on clear nights, the creature can see the moon or if the ceiling of the sea is nothing but a field of blurry blue.
She wonders if all the little microorganisms can see this giant eye staring down at them unblinking. She wonders if they all swim to the edges of the slide, trying to escape her glare.
Thanks to Breakwater Books for sending me a copy of this book! Other Breakwater Books I have loved: Ledger of the Open Hand by Leslie Vryenhoek and The Greatest Hits of Wanda Jaynes by Bridget Canning.
Not only does the writing sound as luminous as the title, but the cover looks gorgeous too. And given what you've told us, along with the quotes, this is yet another title I'm adding to my To Buy list. It sounds like a wonderful read.
Hooray! There was something about this book that cast a little spell on me.
Naomi, you've introduced me to a number of books and authors I never would have come across otherwise, thank you. I'm excited to read some of these books because they are way out of what I would normally choose letvalone think about.
Well, you've certainly sold me! I look forward to reading it. Thanks. Great review.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
This one sounds good. I will put it on my Goodreads list. Lovely cover!
No better recommendation than that!
Can't read your review yet; I'm half-way through the book!
I'm so glad you're reading it, too. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
What beautiful excerpts Naomi and a gorgeous cover. Sounds like a real gem.
It is! Made even better by knowing very little about it going in – the best kind of reading experience.
I would have picked this up just for the cover, but it's good to hear that the contents match up to it!
I love jellyfish too! I wish I lived closer to the sea, there's something unmistakably magical about the ocean. I love lakes, but the ocean is definitely more interesting. Sounds like a lovely little novel!
So true! Lakes are wonderful to swim in, but the ocean is full of mystery.
I adore the sea so this definitely appeals so long as there isn't too much about jellyfish- the nearest I have to a phobia!
I think I've seen a few science fiction movies in which a character decides that a creature isn't just a creature but something more special. Did this book get science fiction-y at all, or did it stay realistic?
No, it's not science-fiction-y. It all feels like real life, except for the creature itself.
I admire jellyfish too, not in preserves though (and admittedly, at a distance). This one is now on my TBR as well. The quotations about sight and touch (the storm) definitely pull me in.
No. And then you have a wet, dirty sweater. Rain jackets work better!


Love Being in Motion with your Kids.
This has been the best purchase ever for running. We had our first child a 2 years ago. My brother in-law and his wife bought us one of the best jogging strollers on the market. I was looking at the first addition of the Kidrunner but was a little skeptical because it was a new product and a new idea. I missed the first launch because of my skepticism. I keep an eye on the product to see if there was going to be another launch and there was, but I was still undecided if I wanted to purchase one. After a couple of weeks and a little pushing from my wife I decided to get one. It showed up and our son was a little afraid of it at first but by the third run we couldn't get him out of it. We were keeping our Kidrunner in a spare room next to the front door, but we had to move it to the garage because our son started wanting to go for a ride every couple of hours. This was the point where I had to tell my wife she was right about investing in the Kidrunner. She told me with all the miles I log in a week it was an easy decision for her. I average between 25-35 miles a week and have found that the Kidrunner is much easier to run with then the stroller. The first reason is that you don't have to steer it, it just follows you. The second is you don't have to worry about controlling the speed when descending because it stays with you. The third is it is easy to use. I you must do is buckle the kid in like you would a car seat and clip on the belt and go. The only suggestion I have for this product is figuring out how to fit two kids in it or a way to connect two Kidrunners together. In the meantime, I will use the jogging stroller and the Kidrunner.
I received my KIDRUNNER a few weeks ago, & the least I can say is that it's trully amazing.
You're now able to run & share time with familly without compromize & avoiding injuries. That's priceless.
The stroller is well made with quality products. Once you find the "sweat spot", the ride is very smooth & the child loves it. The faster you run, the smoother the ride is.
I also customized mine with reflective stickers to get more visibility.
My son loves it, I love it, you'll love it!
Now as for the actual running experience for me, it was such a thrill to actually maintain my same running form as if I was alone. I was amazed how KidRunner simply works. I thought I'd feel the bounce or see the carrier bounce all over the place, but it didn't! All the vibrations were absorbed by the Harmonic Damping System (HDS). It was easy enough to turn and come to a stop. I've now completed 3 half marathons with it and log about 15-20 miles a week on it and I have nothing but good things to say about it. More importantly, my son (now 19 months old), loves the thing. It has allowed us to spend more time together and get him out doors. He typically falls asleep in it which shows how smooth the ride is.
My life has been changed!!
This "stroller" has revolutionized the stroller world. It is so smooth, even on gravel roads. Your hands are free to swing or even hold trekking poles, making your effort with kid in tow natural and fun. The adjustable "pod" is so helpful when nap time sets in as well as shielding the sun from your little one's face. The adjustable arm is great for different heights while the waist harness is super comfortable. Thank you KidRunner for being amazing innovators and building this amazing adventure-mobile!!
I love the kid runner! The KR has made family runs so much more enjoyable with the freedom of being able to run naturally and swing my arms. It also makes managing my nutty dog much easier now that my hands are free.... The product is extremely well-designed and has a lot of nice features, like the pockets in the cockpit for your little ones snacks or toys and a detachable fork plate that allows for easy vehicle transport. Once you hit your stride you don't even know the KR is there and as a bonus it provides a nice little speed boost when going doing hills :-). For parents who loving running with their kids this is no brainer pickup. I love it and am so excited to be taking more runs with my family together .
It was a long time waiting since I saw it until I got mine and I really worth the wait, My 2yo daughter love it, I feel great on my arms and shoulder after using a typical running stroller, Im sure there are few things that can be do better, we will help the designer team with our experience using it to develop and create new ideas for the greatest of the kid runners.
As a former NCAA athlete, an avid runner, a pediatrician and now a mom, I had a lot of demanding expectations about KidRunner. It had to be safe, comfortable for my daughter and me and better performance/fewer injuries than my traditional kid stroller. KidRunner met and exceeded every one of my expectations. Before KidRunner, I was starting to run less as a mom even though I wanted to maintain my fitness and emotional well being more than ever. KidRunner is letting me balance my love of running with my love of being a parent.
I wasn't sure how "bumpy" the run would be but once you take a few strides everything falls into place and it is very level. You feel the weight in your legs and bum so you feel the extra burn where you would like it to be, especially going up hills. I am sure my speed and trail runs will benefit when I go back out alone. I'm almost tempted to put a bag of sand in for early morning runs before my kid gets up to really kick it up a notch. It is more convenient that a push stroller throwing off my stride and using my back more than I like from a higher angle. I am pretty sure I have been getting dirty looks from neighbors when I pushed the stroller out 10 feet in front of me and speed up to catch it just so I could get a little bit of proper form in. I've found that putting my phone in the inside pouch and pairing it with my airpods and using Siri to play podcasts or music and make phone calls is heaven. (Only on greenways of course) I love having my arms free. There is also enough freedom in the belt to turn back and check on your kid as you run to make sure they aren't misbehaving. If they are young, I would recommend you taking off their shoes or strapping them extra tight. My kid likes to throw his shoes off and you might miss it and get a blank stare when you ask them what happened to their shoes. I plan to try it out at the beach in a week and test out a more literal "Chariots of Fire." I'll probably play the theme song on my airpods when I do.
4. Not really suited for trails, the pram feels most bumps. I am running my tyres half inflated to help soften the ride. Would love if I could buy wider Tyres to suit the trails.
Apart from that it is ace!!!! I am going to start to custom the runner this week!
Before the kidrunner I used my chariot and in my usual running route there is a steep hill, everytime we would run up, he'd yell, "why did you stop?" My response, "because you are way too heavy." Now with the kid runner, he doesn't even ask about me running too slow up hill.
This stroller is designed with high end material that makes my run comfortable and most importantly my kid is safe. I finally get to pump my arms running. Who would've thought, running with your arms, kidrunner you are a genius!!!
My 3 year old daughter and I love it!!!
The first time I ran while pushing/steering a jogging stroller was miserable; it is tough and unnatural so I quit altogether despite my kid's desire to join me for jogs... and then came KidRunner! I got it 2 weeks ago and if you are going to jog with your kids, this is by far the best way to do it. First, the company's customer service has been amazing from start to finish — which is much needed for a brand new product. Second, KidRunner is exactly what was promised — a gorgeous, well-designed and high-performing sports equipment. I used it this last weekend to run in a 5K Saturday and a 5K Sunday with my family. The designers made it easy to adjust the pitch with quick release tighteners such that your kid's weight/center of gravity is essentially directly under the wheels. It feels weightless and since it is hands free, you run with your natural posture and upper body arm swing. Another great thing about KidRunner is that my daughter loves it!!! She is 3 years old and we talk sometimes while I jog. She points out all of the animals and asks me questions. I think she is comforted to have me in her direct vision at all times. And she sometimes takes a nap. I highly recommend KidRunner for any parent who wants to enjoy jogging with their kid.
We love being parents. And we love being active. KidRunner parents, Andy and Sarah share their stories about parenting, fitness and personal goals. Their stories are the reasons we invented the first and only great way to run with kids; hands and arms free, multi-terrain and high performance.
Our dream as parents, designers and engineers was to love being in motion with our kids. We started by changing everything about the jogging stroller. Now, Bike and Nordic Skiing are around the corner! And we can't wait to share them.
KidRunner is the lightest, most efficient way to run with your kids. It's innovative design and advanced materials make it the only natural form, multi-terrain jogging stroller. Now, parents and kids all over the world are doing amazing things with their KidRunners.

Le paleron est une partie plate et charnue qui avoisine l'omoplate du bœuf. Cette partie correspond, chez l'homme, au muscle deltoïde.

En boucherie, c'est une partie d'un bœuf ou d'un porc située dans la région supérieure et postérieure de l'épaule. Cette partie charnue de l'épaule est cuisinée en bouillon, en ragoût ou braisée.

Le paleron de veau ou de bœuf est situé au niveau de l'omoplate, près du collier. C'est un morceau gras et charnu, séparé en deux par un 'nerf'(en fait du tissu conjonctif) qui se gélifie dans les plats mijotés. Cette spécificité fait du paleron une pièce de choix pour bien des recettes où ce côté gélatineux est apprécié : carbonnade, bourguignon, pot-au-feu ou encore en daube. Dans la découpe belge avec la race bovine  le Blanc Bleu Belge (type viandeuse et essentiellement réservée à la boucherie), cette pièce peut être utilisée en steak, braisée et même dans certains cas en viande pour fondue.

The New York Rangers' loss in five games of the Stanley Cup Final is disappointing for the fans. Seeing the team make it as far as they did is a point of pride, as is how they handled themselves against the Los Angeles Kings.
The bar is set to exceed what they did this season next year and to do that the Rangers and GM Glen Sather have some hard decisions to make.
According to CapGeek.com, the Rangers have nearly $54 million committed to the salary cap next season to 13 players. That means they have to fill out their roster on a nearly $17 million budget to fill 10 spots. That also likely means Brad Richards' future in New York is highly in doubt.
The Rangers have one remaining compliance buyout and it would be shocking if they don't use it on Richards. The talk of him being bought out has been going since last summer. It came up again during the playoffs and his $6.67 million cap hit over the next six seasons coupled with his poor playoff production makes him a prime, and likely, candidate to give the Rangers lots of breathing room under the cap.
Richards is still a good player, he's just not nearly $7 million per season against the cap good at this point.
That added space would be huge as the Rangers have five restricted free agents to re-sign and three of them are big ones. Chris Kreider, Derick Brassard, and Mats Zuccarello were all key forwards in the regular season and playoffs and will be looking for a raise.
Toss in unrestricted free agent forwards Benoit Pouliot, Brian Boyle, Dominic Moore, and defenseman Anton Stralman (who will undoubtedly get a big offer) and it's looking as though the Rangers will have a much different look if they're going to make a run at the Cup next season.


Given the existence of these lists, it's intriguing when lotteries go unclaimed (as happened in Melbourne this week) – and this is the topic of Jim Kokoris's novel, The Rich Part of Life.
Teddy's mother was killed in a car accident, leaving him, his younger brother and their father, Theo. Theo is an eccentric Civil War professor, whose grief is crippling.
I couldn't count on him for much. He frequently got lost when he drove, misplaced his wallet and keys almost daily, and drifted off in the middle of most conversations.
Theo enters a lottery using his wife's old numbers, and wins $190 million. He is slow to claim the prize and when he does, the family's life changes in unexpected ways. Despite Teddy's wishlist (a ranch, new bikes and a big television), Theo seemingly has no interest in spending the money. Naturally, other people do. Theo's elderly aunt and his brother, Frank, move in and various acquaintances and neighbours are suddenly very friendly. Teddy begins to understand that to be 'rich' means many things.
The broad concept for this story is appealing, and presents questions such as how money changes people, and whether some are more 'deserving' of a windfall than others. The exploration of the eternal question – can money buy happiness, or in this case ameliorate grief – is a little too obviously executed given the family's situation but nevertheless was interesting. Notably, while people avoided the family in their grief, they clamoured to be near in their prosperity.
My problem with the story was that it became cluttered with characters, each trying to stake their claim and each with obvious motivations. Furthermore, these additional characters were all a little odd – the ex-beauty-queen, the washed-up actor who only played vampires; a motherless baby; a worldly football player-turned-bodyguard, and so on. As the story became increasingly 'busy', the delicately explored relationship between Teddy and Theo was lost, and any reflections on grief that Kokoris could provide from Teddy's perspective were drowned in the noise – a shame given that Teddy's voice was perceptive and real.
…she went back to slurping her soup, an indulgence she allowed herself when my father wasn't around. He once quietly had told her that people, other than himself, might find slurping soup pedestrian. I don't know what to do," she said after an especially pedestrian slurp.
And because everything's better with bacon, try this pumpkin and bacon soup.
As part of the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge, I'm comparing the Belfast summer and Melburnian winter. The results for the day I finished this book (July 3): Belfast 9°-24° and Melbourne 6°-15°.
It's an interesting idea but I think because its the sort of thing everyone has considered & makes lists for whether we play or not, it has to be really well done. I do like pumpkin & bacon soup though!

Thomas Thorne Racing Helmet: Will be the helmets of the future?
The designer Thomas Thorne presents its vision of how will evolve Motorcycle helmets over the coming years to become plagued sophisticated models of electronic gadgets able to inform and help at all times to users. Will we see a day in the street?
If there is something that allows internet is above any other media, globalization, but not only the material, it is also of ideas. The communication which we enjoy today, we get to discover ideas that otherwise would hardly have come to our retinas.
In this particular case it comes to helmets designed by Thomas Thorne, which based on ingenuity and many hours of computer behind, has created a series of helmets that seem taken from a science fiction movie with a series of "improvements" that make it much more than the best ally of all bikers.
Among the different proposals and leaving aside the eye-catching design which are not specified materials, closures, approvals… emphasizes the protection bars in the rear, its bizarre air inlets, motion systems and fixing the screen. But above all, what catches the attention of this proposal is its data viewer, which theoretically should be attached to the bike and provide the same information, RPM, speed or temperature and other data.
At the moment this prototype, a hybrid between a helmet and known Google Glass are only in the mind and sketches of Thorne, but who knows if one day the big brands adopt the idea as their own and adapted these systems end up in helmets of the racers and the street itself.

Promises are broken every day. Promises are broken so much that instead of merely saying, "I will do this", we are forced to say "trust me" or "Really, I promise" or "I swear to God". Promises are not something that God takes lightly. When God says something, He means it. It is up to us to realize that God isn't our roommate in college who said that they would do the dishes and then they don't. We can trust God.
Lord, thank You that in a world that is full of broken promises, I don't need to wonder or worry about Your promises.

To address these threats, the State of New York has enacted the Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE) law. Project SAVE is a comprehensive planning effort that addresses prevention, response and recovery with respect to a variety of emergencies in schools.
Individual charter schools are required by the NYSED to complete 2 safety plans: a District- Wide Safety Plan and a Building-Level Safety Plan. These plans differ as defined here taken directly from the NY Safe Schools website.


Description: Cancers level of compassion for others can leave them feeling a bit upset because you can be loyal to a fault and take things on that you don't need too. While enjoying life you can eat foods with friends that may not be good for you. This feeling of upset stomachs, being a bit down or needing to relax may be lightened with these herbs. You might also want to take some time to make sure you surround yourself with good people who don't always need you.
