11 Have your say with SBS! We have received the following from SBS: As you may know, SBS is starting the process of reviewing its radio schedule. From today, the community will have the opportunity to provide feedback in that process through the SBS Radio Consultation 2012 website. With limited resources, SBS needs to deliver on our Charter obligation in the most effective way. SBS has determined that our analogue schedule will be used to service Large Language Audiences High Needs Language Audiences SBS is proposing a set of Selection Criteria to determine the languages which will fall into the above groups. SBS Radio Consultation 2012 is about getting community feedback on the proposed Selection Criteria. For more information and to find out how you can provide feedback please visit the SBS Radio Consultation 2012 website ( during the consulation period of 2 30 April ooooo Your committee encourages all members to have their say in the SBS Radio Consultation Note that the deadline is 30 April. The Danish community has a weekly one-hour radio program whereas other languages even enjoy weekly or daily television news shows. Erik Thorup of Young Vikings in Melbourne expresses our concerns very well: Did you know there is a weekly Danish Radio Program on SBS? You find it on AM 1224 on Saturdays from to But that might change!! Please have your say on to try to persuade SBS to keep our Danish Program running. With a very small Danish Population which is very proficient in English and having arrived at a steady rate during the last century, and with an above average household income, we will be very low on the SBS list to keep. But wouldn t it be sad if we no longer could listen to what happens in our Australian home state and the other states and who the interesting Danish people are, who are visiting or living in Australia? I think so so voice your concern on the www site above.

13 At its April meeting, the committee discussed: Correspondence - Letter from Harly Pedersen regarding a new Viking group initiative - SBS Events March was another busy month with the new Det var en lørdag aften event, a special event for VisitDenmark through the general consulate in Sydney, and the Brisbane Folk History project hot on the heels of the State Election, Kafe Svea, Cafe Danmark as well as a private function. New equipment and maintenance Taps in the bathrooms have been replaced. Toilet seats will also be replaced soon. Quotes for a permanent awning in the court yard came close to $10,000 and the committee felt unable to commit funds at this stage. Some quotes have also been received for the removal and replace of the asbestos roof at a significant cost. Pending the roof project, the new lamps will not be installed yet. Money In spite of a high activity level, the surplus from the individual events seems to have dropped significantly. The preliminary accounts for March showed a deficit. The treasurer s computer had unfortunately crashed and the committee decided to defer approval of the March accounts to its next meeting. The treasurer hopes to be able to restore the club accounts. Membership 1 new member family joined since March. Only 6 new members before we reach the 200 member mark it would be very impressive if we reached this goal before the next renewal! Scandinavian Festival September 2012 Søren has worked hard to find sponsors for the festival and has hit a wall. Committee agreed to scale down event to avoid cost of road closure, tents and toilets. Events calendar Committee discussed the events calendar for the year up to 30 June Polling booth for Hamilton Ward for council election. 12/5 the Swedish club will repeat their highly successful Melodifestival from last year (Eurovision Song Contest) in a completely new version. For our June Saturday we re considering a Teddy Bear s Birthday Party. Skt Hans bonfire at Saga Vikings on 23 June. Food Supervisor Course The club funded two food supervisor courses four years ago and will now put another three committee members through the course to ensure that we always have a food supervisor in the kitchen.

15 Australian Natural Energy What is Solar Power? Solar power is clean, renewable energy that can reduce or totally eliminate your power bills. So how does it work? Solar converts light energy from the sun to electricity. When sunlight falls on the solar panels, they create DC power (like batteries). This power is changed to regular household power (AC power) by an inverter. A meter keeps track of the electricity you are producing & using in your home. If more electricity is produced than your home is using, it is fed back into the main power grid & you are credited for the excess by the power company. You draw power from the power grid at night or when your solar production is not enough to meet your electricity needs. If the value of the green power you feed back into the power grid is higher than the power you draw out, you receive an income from your electricity retailer instead of a bill. What Size System Do You Need? At Australian Natural Energy, we know that one size does not fit all. Each home & family s electricity requirements vary. That s why we custome our systems to meet your needs. We start by looking at your current average electricity usage per day. We also look at your roof layout & direction, any trees or shade affecting your roof & discuss your energy goals (whether you want to reduce or eliminate your power bills). To give you some idea of the size you need if you want to eliminate your home power bills, most systems are between 3kW & 5kW. And, if your roof is not in the ideal direction (North is best, but East or West is still OK), then it s not the end of the world. You may just need an additional panel. That s why it pays to talk with us about your unique situation. Call us for a free quote & to find out the current rebates available for your solar power system.

18 Dansk legegruppe for medlemmer af Heimdal Fredag i Heimdals lokaler, 36 Austin St, Newstead QLD 4006 Vi er en gruppe forældre, der taler dansk med vores børn vi ved, at de lærer dansk fra os, men hvad de lærer gennem leg med andre danske børn er en anden ting, hvilket er grunden til, at vi startede den danske legestue. Gruppen er for børn i alderen 0 til skolealderen og det koster $2 pr familie pr gang (pengene går til udgifter i forbindelse med afholdelse af gruppen). Hvis du er på Facebook, kan du også finde os under gruppen: Heimdal Brisbane Families w/kids Hvis du er interesseret eller mangler oplysninger, så kontakt: Tea Tlf: / depoulsen@hotmail.com Tina Tlf: / tina@kinkead.com.au Iben Mob igk1972@hotmail.com The Lyceum Club an invitation ooooo The Lyceum Club of Brisbane is a club for women (general age group being over forty-fifty). We have a central aim of fostering life long learning through regular guest lectures from experts on a broad range of topics and other weekly events such as book clubs, theatre visits, a cinema group and so on. We would like to raise awareness of our club and its benefits amongst Brisbane women who have lived here for some time and those who are new arrivals to the city. We also feel we do not have enough members whose first language is not English. We wonder if there might be any of your members who would like to be advised of our club. Whilst Membership is by invitation only, for our part we would be pleased to host interested non-members to as many as six functions to see if our activities suit their interests and decide whether the club is for them. If one or more of your members would like to attend, please could they contact me and I will be able to organise it and answer any queries they may have. If you felt it would be useful we would very much like as well to meet with you, to explain the benefits of our club. Whatever the case, we would like you to know of our activities and look forward to hearing from you. Further information can be found on our website Please contact Margaret Maynard on phone , if you would like to know more.

19 Tomme kirker Debatten om de tomme kirker har fyldt de danske medier: mange søndage er der slet ingen kirkegængere og præsten kan enten aflyse eller holde sin prædiken for kordegnen. Sankt Pauls kirke ved Nyboder og Aalholm Kirke i Valby er blot to af 16 kirker, som i første omgang skal lukkes i Københavns Stift. Sankt Pauls blev indviet i 1877 og Aalholm Kirke i Det formodes, at kirkerne vil blive revet ned. På nuværende tidspunkt er holdningen, at kirkerne ikke skal sælges og laves om til f.eks. supermarkeder eller diskoteker, men at nedrivning er en mere respektfuld løsning. Sankt Pauls Kirke på et postkort fra 1913 (kilde: Spar Salling solgt til Den Jyske Sparekasse Kunderne i den lille sparekasse Spar Salling skal fremover betjenes af den jyske Sparekasse med hovedsæde i Grindsted.Det er en realitet efter søndagens anden bankoverdragelse. Den Jyske Sparekasse oplyser, at man overtager medarbejdere, kunder, filialer, bygninger og andre aktiver fra Spar Salling, dog ikke sparekassens garantkapital og efterstillede gæld.»privat- og erhvervskunder vil således ikke mærke nogen umiddelbar forskel på deres pengeinstitut mandag morgen«, skriver Den Jyske Sparekasse i en pressemeddelelse. Garanterne taber penge Til gengæld vil der være en væsentlige forandring hos de garanter, der har ladet deres indskud tælle som ansvarlig kapital mod fordelagtige vilkår for deres bankforretninger.»spar Salling Sparekasse har garantkapital for 86 millioner kroner. Garanterne må forvente, at deres investering er tabt. Det samme gør sig gældende for den efterstillede kapital«, oplyser Den Jyske Sparekasse. Tidligere på aftenen mistede en anden jysk sparekasse, Sparekassen Østjylland sin selvstændighed, da den måtte lade sig opsluge af Sparekassen Kronjylland. Her mistede omkring garanter deres indskud.

20 Det dobbelte dødsfald får dog ikke erhvervsminister Ole Sohn (SF) til at vakle i sin tillid til de danske sparekasser.»det forhold, at to sparekasser er gået ned, er ikke et udtryk for, at der generelt er problemer blandt danske sparekasser«.»det er fortsat min opfattelse, at den danske pengeinstitutsektor generelt er sund og levedygtig«, siger Sohn ifølge en pressemeddelelse. (kilde: Mærsk McKinney Møller begravet fra Holmens Kirke i lørdags Da kirkeklokkerne kort før klokken 15 ringer, titter solen frem, og himlen får unægtelig samme lyseblå farve som det karakteristiske Mærsk-flag med den syvtakkede stjerne.»farvel Hr. Møller, hvil i fred Hr. Møller«råber en cyklist ud over folkemængden, da han cykler forbi Holmens Kirke. Han standser ikke og kører hurtigt videre. Men over helt almindelige danskere har taget plads foran kirken og på gaden overfor. Nogle er kommet for at vise afdøde Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller en sidste respekt, mens andre er dukket op for at være til»globegravelse«, som en af de fremmødte udtrykker det. Her er både unge og ældre. Vennepar, ægtepar, og folk der bare er ude at gå en tur med deres hund. Alle står de tæt op ad det hegn, som omkranser den smukke, røde sømandskirke fra 1600-tallet. Kirken har altid haft en særlig betydning for søens folk, og derfor er det heller ikke tilfældigt, at den ikoniske skibsreders sidste rejse begynder her. Blomsterhav og statsministre Foran kirken er det store skibsanker omkranset af et enormt blomsterhav. Buketter og kranse med roser, tulipaner, gerbera og årstidens blomster ligger side om side. De dominerende farver er naturligvis hvide og blå - helt i Mærsk-ånden. Men der er også kranse bestående af hvide og røde roser, som symboliserer den fædrelandskærlighed, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller vægtede så højt.»tak for alt«,»dyb respekt«og»hvil i fred«, står der med sirlig guldskrift på buketternes bånd. Anni Kohl er en af de helt almindelige danskere, der har taget opstilling foran kirken. Hun er selv forretningskvinde og har i mange år haft Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller som et forbillede.»jeg har stor respekt for det, han udrettede. Han satte virkelig Danmark på verdenskortet og promoverede landet helt indtil sin død. Det har åbnet mange døre for resten af erhvervslivet«, fortæller hun til politiken.dk.»sorry, but who died«, spørger en italiensk turist, der er blevet nysgerrig efter at vide, hvorfor så mange mennesker står foran kirken. Anni Kohl fortæller ham straks historien om de over Mærsk-ansatte og den verdensomspændende virksomhed, som Hr. Møller videreførte fra sin far. Bevægede medarbejder med blomster Længere henne står ægteparret Ronnie Nielsen og Tina Møller. Begge ansat i Mærsk-koncernen. De er i dagens anledning trukket i det pæne arbejdstøj. Han i Mærks-slips, hun med et blåt Mærsk-silketørklæde. Tina Møller holder en hvid rose og en blålig hyacint i hånden.»det var jo hans farver. Vi ville have lagt dem på Esplanaden, men det blev for emotionelt«, siger hun med bævrende stemme. Ronnie Nielsen fortæller, at de er kommet for at vise en sidste respekt til Hr. Møller, som de konsekvent omtaler ham som.»vi har jo set ham stort set hver dag de sidste fem-seks år. Det betyder alt at stå her i dag. Han havde en helt unik tilgang til hverdagen. Han var en bestemt herre, men med et glimt i øjet, og så havde han humor«, siger han. Chaneltasker og vandkæmmet hår Der er så mange mennesker, at folk står i flere rækker foran kirken. Alle betragter de de mange prominente gæster, der deltager i den private ceremoni i selve kirken. Den ene blankpolerede Mercedes efter den anden kører hen foran kirken og velklædte gæster stiler sig pænt i kø for at komme ind i kirken. Størstedelen af gæsterne tilhører den ældre generation. De er elegant klædt i sort, herrerne har nypudsede sko og vandkæmmet hår, men kvinderne bærer hvide perlekranse, sorte spadseredragter og har en designertaske over armen af mærkerne Chanel og Hermés. Men blandt gæsterne er også de tre tidligere statsministre Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, Poul Schlüter og Lars Løkke Rasmussen, der alle har taget deres hustruer med. Få minutter før bisættelsen går i gang, træder familien Mærsk ud foran kirken for at modtage den kongelige familie. Først ankommer prins Joachim og prinsesse Marie, dernæst kronprinseparret og sidst dronningen og prinsgemalen. Et sidste farvel Mens de mange begravelsesgæster sender den 98-årige skibsreder af sted med salmerne 'Nu ringer alle klokker mod sky', 'Altid frejdig, når du går', 'Dejlig er jorden' og 'Se, nu stiger solen af havets skød', begynder folk at trække væk fra kirken. De har nu sagt deres sidste farvel til en af de største danske personligheder i nyere tid - og så på en dag hvor selv himlen står i Mærsks tegn. (kilde:
