Is there a dark side to Australia’s backpacker industry?

PROSECUTORS want a harsher penalty handed to a Victorian pear-packing company after a young Irish backpacker’s scalp and ear were torn off by a conveyor belt.

Kalafatis Packing Pty Ltd pleaded guilty to failing to provide a safe system of work and was fined $50,000 without conviction in January.

But the sentence was “manifestly inadequate”, according to Acting Director of Public Prosecutions Gavin Silbert QC, who lodged an appeal on Wednesday.

The young woman was scrubbing the underside of a conveyor belt on November 7, 2015, when her hair became tangled in a rotating drive shaft, a court had previously been told.

Her scalp was then torn from her head and one of her ears was ripped off.

The woman was hired by a company which specialised in providing backpacker labour to the fruit industry.

In January, WorkSafe’s health and safety executive director Marnie Williams said the circumstances of the incident were appalling.

The court heard workers were required to clean the conveyors while they were energised and moving.

Annie Dunne was assessing the underside of a conveyor in order to scrub its surfaces when her hair became entangled in a rotating drive shaft and her scalp was torn from her head, WorkSafe says.

She also had one of her ears torn off.

“This truly was a shocking incident that has changed this young woman’s life in a split second,” Ms Williams says in a statement on Friday.

“It’s staggering that workers were expected to clean machines which were still in operation.”

She said the labour hire business engaged workers for the packing shed and left them exposed to risk of “serious injury and death”.

Ms Williams said there was a “blatant risk” of serious injury from entanglement, crushing or entrapment with both conveyors in the shed.

AN Ipswich girl got more than her morning tea today when she checked her school bag for snacks and instead found a red bellied black snake.

Terrifyingly, the student at Augusta State School in Augustine Heights, southwest of Brisbane, only realised the venomous snake was there when it slithered over her hand.

A staff member stepped in quickly to zip the snake inside and await its removal.

When licenced snake catcher Lana Field arrived, she found the two-foot juvenile snake curled up inside.

Ms Field said red bellied blacks were naturally shy, so it was likely looking for somewhere to hide when it slithered into the backpack.

Ironically, the snake — the mascot for the Slytherin house from the Harry Potter series — had found refuge in a Gryffindor bag.

Any fan of the series knows the two houses are mortal enemies.

“It had every opportunity to bite the child because she’s putting her hand in there in a dark space but it would have been more interested in hiding,” Ms Fields said.

“Nobody has ever died from a red bellied black bite.”

Ms Field, of Snake Catchers Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan & Gold Coast, said Ipswich call-outs for the species were common.

“Particularly in areas where the are rock retaining walls and any areas where there is some water in the vicinity.”

The school has both.

It is believed the school emailed parents about the snake on school grounds as a precaution.

Would you know what to do if you thought someone you love was suicidal?

It’s a complex situation best handled by professionals, but like physical emergencies, knowing mental health first aid can help.

The concept has been around since the 1990s but a new course focused on suicide has been developed.

Trys Reddick, an accredited Mental Health First Aid instructor, runs the course in Perth through his organisation Passionate Lives.

He relies on grant money to be able to deliver the service free of charge to the community.

At the moment the course is so popular he has 200 people on a waiting list.

What are the signs someone is feeling suicidal?

The course teaches several signs to look out for.

They include someone acting recklessly, talking or writing about suicide and withdrawing from friends and family.

Helping someone who is suicidal is complicated, but the course suggests three key actions to take.

The first is if you think someone’s suicidal, ask them directly.

If they say yes, don’t leave them alone, and try to get them professional help. A trusted GP is the first port of call.

One of Mr Reddicks’ students knows more about suicide than most.

Three years ago Paul Mallett tried to end his life.

“I don’t want to hide things, I’ve always drunk alcohol, it hasn’t been great,” Mr Mallett said.

“I probably still drink too much alcohol but ultimately a family breakdown led to a crisis for me.”

After 20 minutes, the 51-year-old called an ambulance.

“I guess it dawned on me, if I can’t look after my kids, who’s going to do it?

“The experiences I’ve had since then are things I wouldn’t trade for the world — teaching my son to drive a car, helping with homework, just chatting, going to the movies, all those things that normal people do.”

The course Mr Reddick teaches, which was developed by Mental Health First Aid Australia, has won a big tick of approval from Beyond Blue’s Grant Blashki.

“Mental health first aid is really appropriate for anyone in the community but especially people who are in the education sector or community groups or having a lot of contact with members of the public,” he said.

CATCHING a cold or the flu could put more than four million Brits at risk of a deadly asthma attack, a charity has warned.

A study of more than 7,500 people found more than 80 per cent of people reported the flu made their asthma symptoms worse, according to Asthma UK.

That amounts to an 4.3 million people in the UK.

Last year, more than 40,000 people with asthma were hospitalised after falling ill during the winter months.

And recent figures reveal some 193 people have died of flu-related complications this winter, prompting the charity to urge people with asthma to protect themselves.

That includes carrying your inhaler everywhere you go, taking your preventative medicine and wrapping up warm to protect yourself from the cold air.

Dr Andy Whittamore, a GP and Asthma UK’s clinical lead, said: “The flu outbreak this year is extremely concerning and needs to be taken seriously.

“As many as four in five people with asthma could be at an increased risk of life-threatening asthma attacks if they catch the virus.

“The best way for people with asthma to stay safe this winter is to make sure they take their asthma medicines as prescribed.

“This ensures their airways are less inflamed and sensitive, and will help them to resist the effects of the flu.

“Everyone with asthma should also make sure they are washing their hands regularly to prevent spreading viruses, and look after themselves by eating a varied, balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep.”

Cold air can irritate the lining of your lungs and throat, triggering asthma symptoms.

BREATHE EASY The surprising reason wearing a SCARF could save your life as big freeze hits

Asthma UK recommends wearing a scarf over your mouth to help warm the air your are breathing in.

Millions of people are thought to have been affected by the flu this winter, according to the online tool FluSurvey.

Flusurvey relies on 7,500 members of the public reporting when they are suffering flu-like symptoms – so the true number of flu cases is likely to be higher.

It has previously been suggested that the flu outbreak could become an epidemic if cases of the bug continue to rise.

An epidemic can only be declared by the Chief Medical Officer for England, Dame Sally Davies –  and GP consultations would need to reach a rate of more than 100 cases per 100,000 people.

The latest statistics from Public Health England (PHE), published last week, show the rate of GP consultations for the flu have reached 52.1 per 100,000.

Health bosses have renewed their call for people to get vaccinated against the flu as it is their best possible defence to prevent the bug.

Data from Public Health England last month showed this flu season is the “most significant” in seven years.

THERE’S been a break from the scorching hot weather. But summer is on the way back with heatwaves forecast across the country’s south.

AFTER a refreshing cool spell, the heat is making a return this week with a host of capitals likely to see temperatures in the high 30s and Adelaide topping out at a possible 40C by the weekend.

Parts of Sydney and Brisbane could also hit the 40C mark, Canberra is likely to get to at least 35C with Melbourne not far off as heatwave conditions making a reappearance.

“There’s been a bit of a nice reprieve from that heat but it’s coming back again particularly for the south of the country,” Sky News Weather meteorologist Rob Sharpe told news.com.au.

“In Adelaide, the heatwave is going to persist across much of the week. It won’t be quite as intense as the previous heatwave that crossed southeast Australia, but we’ll still see some pretty hot temperatures moving through,” he said.

“In Adelaide, the long-term average for February is 28.5C but on Sunday they got to 34C and that will rise this week to the point they will have six days in a row above average.”

Mr Sharpe said the South Australian capital was often in the heatwave firing line due to its position closer to the red centre and because it was further north than a number of other capitals. Heat lingers for longer in SA, he said.

But South Australia isn’t the only place due a dose of sun. The mercury will be rising in just about every eastern capital this week. A low- to severe-intensity heatwave will creep across SA, Victoria and much of central and southern NSW and the ACT.

Melbourne will peak at 34C on Wednesday while Canberra will hit 35C on Saturday. Sydney CBD will reach a summery 29C on Saturday but Penrith in the city’s west will climb as high as 39C. Brisbane will be a toasty 37C on Sunday but in neighbouring Ipswich 40C will be in order.

Regional areas of Victoria and NSW will be hotter still with Mildura and Albury likely to reach and possibly streak past 40C towards the end of the week.

“The reason it will get so hot is a high pressure system is setting up in the Tasman Sea off the NSW coast. Because the winds travel anticlockwise around high pressure systems, we have north-westerly winds drawing heat from the north of the country down into the south and that’s where it will sit for a number of days,” Mr Sharpe said.

However, a cool change is due and will spread gradually from south to east, sweeping through Tasmania and Victoria first.

“In Melbourne, the heat will spike around Wednesday or Thursday but then they will have a proper cool change during Saturday. But that will push the heat into the east of the country,” he said.

In Sydney, it will be Sunday when the heat begins to dissipate. Adelaide’s big drop will come at the end of the week with 39C on Friday followed by 29C on Saturday.

Further north in Queensland, rain has been the big feature with 30mm in the last few days in Brisbane. In the tropics it has been torrential with 148mm falling in Innisfail in Far North Queensland in the 24 hours to 9am on Monday.

Thursday will see a cool change heading across Tasmania and Victoria but heat lingering in Adelaide and into NSW and the ACT. Picture: Sky News WeatherSource:Supplied

WHEN THE HEAT WILL PEAK

ADELAIDE

When Oksana Lukyantseva from Kyiv saw a man having an epileptic seizure, she did what she had once heard was right: she laid him on his side, put a jacket under his head, and put a wooden stick between his teeth to prevent him from swallowing or biting his tongue.

When the epileptic seizure ended, the ambulance arrived, and even though everything was fine with the man, Lukyantseva later found out that she had actually acted wrong. She made a common mistake that could have done a lot of harm.

According to Fedir Serdiuk, the founder of the first aid course training program FAST, while attempting to unclench a person’s jaw and put a spoon or a pencil in their mouth during an epileptic seizure, there is a risk of causing painful dental trauma or tearing the jaw ligaments.

The worst thing that can happen to a person during a seizure is that they can slightly bite their tongue, but this never leads to fatal consequences, Serdiuk explained during a “First, Do No Harm” lecture on first aid.

He said there are many myths popular among Ukrainians regarding first aid, and people need to learn more about the topic.

In Kyiv, an ambulance usually takes up to 20 minutes to arrive, but every minute matters: If someone’s heart stops, they will have only about five minutes to be saved, and only three minutes if they are suffering from major blood loss.

In less critical cases, the first hour, the so-called “golden hour,” is critical. During this time, an injured person’s body functions can still be largely unimpaired, and it is possible to maintain them in a stable state. However, a first-aid giver has to know what to do during this first hour.

According to Kyiv’s latest official statistics for 2014-2015, some 70 percent of car accident casualties occurred due to improper first aid being given by bystanders, while 20 percent of the deaths occurred because it took people too long to call an ambulance, according to Oleksandr Komashko, head of the advisory and information department of the Center for Emergency Medical Care and Disaster Medicine.

Another common first aid myth says that applying an emergency tourniquet to stop bleeding after a major limb injury for too long can cause gangrene and lead to amputation. Tatyana Nagornaya, who attended the FAST training course, found out that this is nothing but a myth.

“We were on an island, and our friend hurt his leg. Peroxide didn’t stop the heavy bleeding. We had to apply a tourniquet. An hour later we took it off, and the bleeding had stopped,” Nagornaya said, adding that her friend’s leg was fine as well.

A survey of wounded people who required tourniquets was performed at the 10th Combat Support Hospital, U.S. Army Task Force North in Baghdad, Iraq, over seven months in 2006. Patients were evaluated for tourniquet use, limb outcome, and morbidity. As many as 232 patients had 428 tourniquets applied to injured limbs, and none of the limbs was lost or suffered lasting impairment.

First aid course knowledge can come in handy even if there isn’t a serious accident, Serdiuk says. The most common case is when someone starts choking on a piece of food. For many, the most obvious move it to pound the person on their back. Well, don’t: In this case, the foreign object may only descend lower, blocking the respiratory tract.

The easiest way is to tell the person to cough and thus to clear the blockage. However, when choking is severe, and the person can’t speak or breathe, the right thing to do is to apply strong pressure to their abdomen, a procedure called the Heimlich maneuver.

Another popular mistake mentioned by Serdiuk is applying foam or spray medicines immediately to burns. These, or any other oily remedies, cause heat to go deeper into the tissues, increasing the severity of the injury, he said.

ONCE known as Australia’s top swimming state, Queensland is now falling dangerously behind. Now, calls are being made for a compulsory swim program for school kids.

S.O.S Save Our Schoolkids: Swim campaign

QUEENSLAND kids are leaving primary school unable to swim, because schools are failing to teach them the basic survival skills needed to keep themselves safe in the water.

Despite the Sunshine State’s abundance of beaches, backyard pools and rivers and dams, Queensland is the only state in Australia that does not have a compulsory or comprehensive State Government-funded swimming program in its primary schools.

Today, The Courier-Mail and 45 other News Queensland publications — with the backing of major bodies such as the Australian Water Safety Council, Royal Life Saving Society Australia, Surf Life Saving Queensland and leading Olympians — is launching an S.O.S. campaign to “Save Our Schoolkids”.

Experts warn of a generation of young people who can’t swim to save themselves and have called for immediate action to prevent a rise in drownings and rescues.

Our campaign is calling on the State Government to commit to compulsory swim and water safety lessons in Queensland primary schools.

Students would have to achieve a set benchmark – including swimming 50m, treading water for two minutes and being able to recognise potential dangers – as part of the program promoted by the Australian Water Safety Council (AWSC).

AWSC convener Justin Scarr, also CEO of Royal Life Saving Society Australia, said more action was urgently needed to curtail child drownings and incidents.

Mr Scarr said Queensland was dragging the chain when it came to certified programs.

“Queensland has somewhat taken it (swimming ability among kids) for granted,’’ he said.

“The assumption is Queenslanders can swim before they walk because it is such an ideal environment for swimming … the water is part of everyday life for many people in the state.’’

Mr Scarr said Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT, NSW, and more recently, Victoria, had implemented school-based programs.

At the most recent National Swimming and Water Safety Education Symposium, it was revealed Tasmania’s extensive initiative was taken up by 100 per cent of government schools, ACT’s 99 per cent, South Australia’s 98.9 per cent, WA’s 97 per cent and NSW 85 per cent.

Victoria introduced compulsory lessons this year after a successful pilot program that followed a $9.15m funding boost from its state government.

The Queensland Government was unable to say how many of their students were involved in school-based programs.

In Queensland, swimming and water safety lessons are encouraged as part of the curriculum but are not compulsory or benchmarked, according to Education Queensland.

State Government funding is available for pool hire and transport costs, but lessons are at the principal’s discretion and sometimes part of health and physical education classes.

“The decision will depend on the school context and availability of appropriate resources,’’ a spokesman said.

Last year, 849 Queensland state primary schools received $1,003,984 in Learn to Swim funding from the State Government, an Education Queensland spokesman said.

That averages out at just under $1200 a year for each school.

Surf Life Saving Queensland chief George Hill said volunteers and lifeguards were alarmed by the growing number of young people getting into trouble in the ocean.

“We are seeing more and more young people unable to cope in the water and in this state, which offers a year-round swimming environment, it’s imperative we give them the skills and knowledge to stay safe,’’ he said.

“We have made the State Government aware of our concerns and we need to act now to prevent fatalities in the future.’’

Mr Scarr said many parents were diligent in sending kids aged up to four or five to lessons, but then it stopped as the family focus often turned to soccer, football or netball.

“As a consequence, we are seeing children losing the chance to develop the swimming and survival skills that previous generations enjoyed.

“Cost of lessons can be an issue and it can be a case of the haves and have nots. There is also an assumption that schools will take over the responsibility for developing these essential skills.’’

Mr Scarr said targeting of children during primary years was “absolutely critical’’, as they needed to learn the vital skills before their teenage years when they ventured into waterways without being under the watchful eyes of parents.

“For us, it makes sense to start in Year 2 and 3 otherwise we risk leaving it too late. There needs to be a commitment and it has to happen urgently,’’ Mr Scarr said.

The Catholic and independent school sectors said many of their schools offered water safety and swimming lessons.

Independent Schools Queensland executive director David Robertson said that while swimming was not mandated, most independent schools ran programs.

“Queensland independent schools recognise the importance of educating students about water safety and supporting them to be proficient swimmers,” Mr Robertson said.

Royal Life Saving Society Australia recently hosted a World Health Organisation conference attended by seven countries from the Asia-Pacific region.

The conference was advised that governments had to intervene to ensure swimming and safety programs for children, and primary schools were promoted as the best place to roll out initiatives.

Parent surveys have identified cost as the major barrier to swimming lessons.

Senior instructors say prices range from $16 and $20 with discounts offered for multiple visits or siblings. Most families opt for one session a week, with about 20 per cent paying for two.

Universally, a large number of individuals kick the bucket every year because of mischances or serious damage. Sadly, a considerable lot of those passings could have been avoided if first aid had been administered at the scene promptly before the emergency administrations arrived.

First aid, or emergency first aid, is the care that is given to an injured or wiped out individual preceding treatment by therapeutically prepared staff. In this article, we will take a gander at the historical backdrop of first aid, how it works and how to do it.

What is first aid?

Some self-restricting diseases or minor wounds may just require first aid intercession and no further treatment. First aid, by and large, comprises of some basic, frequently life-sparing procedures that a great many people can be prepared to perform with negligible gear.

First aid more often than not alludes to the organization of care to a human, despite the fact that it should likewise be possible on every creature. The point of first aid is to keep a weakening of the patient’s circumstance, to aid recuperation, and to save the life.

Actually, it isn’t classed as therapeutic treatment and ought not to be compared to what a doctor may do. First aid is a blend of some basic techniques, in addition to the utilization of good judgment.

A concise history of first aid

The historical backdrop of first aid changes relying upon what part of the world one is alluding to. Around the eleventh century in Europe the Order of St. John was made with the point of preparing individuals to therapeutically watch over casualties of front-line wounds – these were laypersons who were formally prepared in the organization of first aid.

Amid the Middle Ages in Europe first aid took a secondary lounge and did not by any stretch of the imagination reemerge until the second 50% of the nineteenth century. In 1859 Henry Dunant, a Swiss representative, prepared and sorted out neighborhood town people to manage first aid to combat zone casualties of the Battle of Solferino, Italy.

In 1863, four countries met in Geneva, Switzerland, and framed an association which turned into the advanced Red Cross – amid this gathering the term first aid was first utilized with its cutting-edge meaning.

The underlying point of the Red Cross was to direct aid to wiped out and injured warriors. Amid the modern transformation, Great Britain had various nonmilitary personnel rescue vehicle teams who might go to the emergency aid of diggers, railroad laborers, and policemen.

In 1877, St. John Ambulance was framed in England. It depended on the standards of the Knights Hospitaller, i.e. to show first aid. Before long a few associations joined St. John Ambulance. Through St. John Ambulance, first aid became common all through the British Empire.

What are the points of first aid?

• To save the life: this is the fundamental point of first aid; to save lives. This incorporates the life of the first aider, the setback (the casualty, the injured/debilitated individual), and spectators

• To prevent the further harm: the patient must be kept stable and his/her condition must not exacerbate before therapeutic administrations arrive. This may incorporate moving the patient out of mischief’s way, applying first aid procedures, keeping him/her warm and dry, applying strain to wounds to quit bleeding, and so forth.

• Promote recuperation: this may incorporate applying a mortar (gauze) to a little twisted; anything that may help in the recuperation procedure.

What are the skills of first aid?

ABC and D. The most widely recognized term referred to in first aid is ABC, which remains for Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. Indeed, the term additionally is regularly used by emergency wellbeing experts. The D remains for Defibrillation.

• Airway – the first aider needs to ensure the setback’s aviation route is clear. Chocking, which comes about because of the deterrent of aviation routes, can be deadly

• Breathing – when the first aider has discovered that the aviation routes are not hindered, he/she should decide the loss’ sufficiency of breathing, and if essential give safeguard relaxing

• Circulation – if the loss isn’t breathing the first aider ought to go straight for chest compressions and save relaxing. The chest compressions will give the course.

• Defibrillation – a few associations have this fourth step, while others incorporate this as a component of course

Step by step instructions to assess and keep up the ABC of a patient relies on the first aider. When ABC has been secured the first aider would then be able to concentrate on any extra medicines.

What is the recuperation position?

Regardless of whether the loss is breathing, yet is oblivious, there is as yet a critical danger of air passage obstruction The recuperation position limits the hazard to the patient. A first aider ought to do the accompanying:

• Remove glasses if the setback is wearing them

• Make sure the legs are straight

RELATED: Why Are You Having Heart Palpitations?

• Place the arm that is closest to you at right edges to the setback’s body (you are bowing alongside him/her)

• Bring the other arm across their chest; hold the back of his hand against his closest cheek

• With your another hand, hold the thigh that is uttermost from you and draw it up to the knee. Ensure his foot is level on the ground

• Slowly pull down on the raised knee and move him over towards you

• Move the upper leg somewhat with the goal that the setback’s hip and knee are bowed at right-edges. This ensures they don’t move back onto their face

• Gently tilt the head back with the goal that the air passage route is kept open.

What is Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)?

In the event that the setback isn’t breathing the first aider should do mouth to mouth (cardio-pneumonic revival).

It is improbable that CPR will begin a heart. Its motivation is to keep up the stream of oxygenated blood to the cerebrum and heart, and subsequently avoiding or possibly postponing tissue passing. CPR can broaden the short window of time amid which fruitful revival may happen without perpetual mind harm.

The new rules expressed that rescuers ought to go straight to CPR if there is no breathing, as opposed to at that point checking for a heartbeat. It additionally included that protect breathing without chest compressions must not be performed.

• 30 chest compressions – the first aider ought to bow beside the loss who ought to lie on his/her back. Place the foot rear area of one deliver the center of the loss’ chest, and place your other hand over your first hand and interweave the fingers. Push the chest down to around 1.5 to 2 inches and for a child of 1 to 8 years to most extreme of 1.5 inches and repeat this 30 times at a rate of 100 every moment.

• Give 2 breaths – Make beyond any doubt air passage is open and squeeze the nose so it closes. Tenderly raise the button upwards with the two fingers of your other hand. Take a full breath and seal your mouth over the setback’s mouth and inhale out into the air passage. You should see the setback’s chest rise and fall. To get another breath lift your head and take in profoundly. Play out the entire methodology once more.

Repeat the 30 chest compressions took after by two breaths around five times and afterward verify whether the setback has begun to inhale or not.
