A really great game for those of us who like solving puzzles.

  

Nicholas and Edward Fitzgerald opened a brewery in Castlemaine, Victoria in 1877, brewing a product called XXX Sparkling Ale.

 

Our state’s long history in the brewing industry began in 1867, with the construction of a brewery in Toowoomba.

 

The brewery's original and official name was the Downs Brewery but came to be known as Perkins Brewery. The mastermind of this grand endeavour was an Irish immigrant by the name of Paddy Perkins, an avid entrepreneur who had his eyes and hopes set on conquering the beer industry.

 

It was this ambition that in its way inspired him, and his brother Thomas, to situate their business in Toowoomba. As it is today, ingredients were at the core of Paddy’s plans for success, including the choice of location. The water found in West Swamp Toowoomba at the time proved to be the best a brewer could find in South East Queensland, and from there our history and eventual love affair with amber ales would start.

 

Within two years of being established, this brewery would become one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, with the capacity to produce 400 hogshead (113,650 litres) of XXX (Extra Exhilarating Extract) beer per week. The opening of the brewery in Toowoomba also saw an increase of barley growing on the Downs, leading to experiments in the cultivation of hops, all of which were surprisingly unsuccessful.

 

The Perkins family were the dominant force in Queensland brewing up until a certain iconic beer came into prominence – XXXX Bitter Ale from the Castlemaine Brewery Brisbane. This was in some ways an ironic twist, given Paddy’s interest in a different Castlemaine’s Brewery in Victoria prior to establishing his own brewing business.

 

The Perkins and Co. Ltd Downs Brewery in Toowoomba and their off-shoot City Brewery in Brisbane were sold to the Castlemaine Brewery in August 1928. The company was then restructured as Castlemaine Perkins Ltd. The dedicated Downs Brewery label sadly ceased business in 1958.

 

In the many decades since Paddy first started to lose dominance, Castlemaine Perkins and the XXXX name has become synonymous with our state. The brewery in Milton is a Q150 Icon and a tourist attraction, right down to its ever-visible winking neon sign.

 

There have been a number of attempts over the years to directly rival Castlemaine Perkins in scale and name, but it has remained the “Queensland brewer and beer”. This constant has continued even despite three interesting facts – 1) much of the production for XXXX now being handled in Western Sydney, courtesy of current partner brand Toohey’s; 2) that ownership of the brewery has changed hands multiple times, with it now being owned by Japanese beer maker Kirin; and 3) beer consumption is an all-time low in Queensland as locals switch to other libations.

 

The one to maybe three-horse race that was beer brewing in Queensland for many years has expanded significantly in the past decade. This is in spite of recent ABS data saying that national alcohol consumption is now at a 50 year low (though beer remains the nation’s preferred beverage at a pub or bar).

 

At last official count, there were 90 independent breweries spread across Queensland, including 20 in our regional areas, employing an estimated 17,000 people. These smaller breweries, collectively, produced an average of 240,000 litres of beer in 2017 – a far cry from the 113,000 plus Paddy Perkin’s was able to produce weekly, but it’s an industry that is recognised as flourishing. And while this is not a new space, it is one that is currently a big part of our current social discourse – friends gathering together in their local establishment to see what’s new and what’s different that week.

 

We can only imagine what Paddy and his brother would make of this trend of small batches and flavour experiments. Nevertheless, Paddy and Thomas alongside their rivals (and eventual partners) at Castlemaine Brewing sewed the seeds for this boutique industry with their grand visions and pioneering spirit. Between them, they established a new industry (one that coordinates with many others in the state) and created a business that has been a cornerstone of our economy and culture for the better part of two centuries.

Adventures in OOna...

 

If you've ever followed our little set of postings for even a little bit of time, then you are sure to pick up on the fact that we are a little nuts about the little furrballs that share our lives. (ok, when it came to Bella, some said we were beyond nuts and were...ummm...what were the words..oh yes - koo-koo crazy obsess, but hey she was Bella...how could we not be). So if you spend any future time here checking out the world according to OOna then you surely will start to know every little crazy thing we do for her health and well-being. Hopefully my writings won't bore you......

 

Sooooo, it's been a year since OOna the crazy psycho kitty (as she is know at the vet) has been to the vet, yes my how time flies. I will say this, even though we miss Bella more than life itself - not having to go to the vet (and the specialist, or the surgeon) every week, has been nice. It's kind of this guilty mix of emotions that we have – it's nice, but we would trade it in a heartbeat if we could have Bella back tomorrow...but I digress, this is about OOna the evil mastermind. It's shot time and any who don't remember the last time, let me put it this way – she went totally physico after her shots and tried to kill the vet and all the assistants. (no, i'm serious she did) So now, it's a year later and a new vet, yes we decided to go with a new vet for little Miss. Chickenbreath to see if her experience might turn out better. In fact, we already love her new vet and OOna hasn't even seen her yet...she's Dr. Corse (Bella's incredible surgeon) wife Dr. Roshto. We have become good friend with them through Bella and her loss and Yvette is as amazing as he is. The funny thing is they are a lot like us only they are both vets.

 

Anyway, so the evil one has to go in for a check-up and shots and Dr. Roshto wants to give the little Chocolate chip feet monster a positive experience in hopes that she might start to like going to the vet again. Yeah well the OOna kitties says, "Fat chance!", but hey her minions are willing to give it a shot, we're just hoping we won't lose a finger or something. The future evil leader does not like going to the vet and tends to get a little...uh..."feisty" (as Dr. Roshto puts it). Let's put it this way, the little catnip sniffer makes tigers look like pussycats when she mad...uh, did I mention she only weights 8 pounds...8 pounds of freaking holy terror, that is. What you have to understand is, well we are dog people raising a cat. I mean, we make sure she gets superior care and loving - she gets EVO, which is a grain-free ancestral diet with the highest protein content, gets all the natural treats and toys, plus lots of loving and playing...but in the end deep down we will always be dog (weimaraner) people. Hey, after 13 and half years with our incredible Bella, how could we not be...

 

But anyway, so we have OOna, how doesn't feel she should have to go and see her nemesis the vet. We were told to try and get her in the crate when she's at her sweetest, which is in the morning right after you take a shower. Soooooooo, we gave it a shot, Scott tried to wrap the little monster in a towel right after a shower ( she was being all sweet and loving, kisses and all) and well let me put it this way, the little tasmanian went nuts - all claws, paws, spit and pee. And yes Scott was "nekked", but luckily no inguries, OOna was just pissed at him for a couple of days. So the next thing we were told to try was leaving her crate out and start putting treats in it to see if she would start going in there to eat them. Well, after about a week of this, the little rat finally started going in her crate but she would grab a treat and bring it back out to eat it for the first week. No biggie, we just kept placing treats in there for a couple more weeks, she fially started eating them in there (haha, the minions just might be a little smarter).

 

Well the morning of the visit is finally upon us...we placed the treats in the trap (errr...crate), she goes in, we slam the door shut, jump in the car and race to the vet (we convinced if she in the there for too long she'll figure out how to open that door...shudder). We dropped her off and made a run for it. (pheww)

 

So later Dr. Roshto calls us with her update...OOna is super healthy and definitely "feisty", someone's lip got bitten but we're not sure whose, we just said "OOna?...OOna who?" Unfornately, Dr. Roshto and OOna both know where we live...so I guess we have to go pick her up...glup!

 

Obey the OOna kitty!

Amateur photographer of the year 2012 runner up.

It was 5.23 pm on 21st august 2004 when Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina was wrapping up a rally protesting Sylhet blasts. A wave of grenade attacks on her left at least 16 people killed and left around 200 persons critically injured including top Awami League leaders Abdur Razzak, Amir Hossain Amu, Suranjit Sengupta, Ivy Rahman and Kazi Zafarullah.

The party secretary on Women affairs Ivy Rahman died in the Hospital later in the day. The unknown assailants fired seven bullets at the bulletproof SUV that Hasina boarded immediately after the blast.

The unusually poor deployment of police at the rally and the absence of forces on nearby building rooftops are a remarkable deviation from the usual practice.

Motaher Hossain, general secretary of AL Krishak League said some people on the roof of Ramna hotel and adjacent building were throwing bombs. At least 13 grenades exploded one after another, and also who were present on the spot told a white Microbus carried of some injured person who were among the assailant and were wounded by their own bomb.

Blame game started at the very moment Hasina spoke out loud about government’s conspiracy to kill the remaining member of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujiber Rahman’s remaining family members, BNP leaders hold back and Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan commented that they have blamed the government out of emotion. But soon BNP leaders changed their tone and started to blame AL for attacking their own rally, they argued AL had done it to destabilize the country and discredit the government only to grab the power.

Fiction and conspiracy theories were put forward by various columnists in the media. Pro Awami columnists blamed the fundamentalist forces and the right wing coalition government for this attack while pro BNP columnists blamed AL and pointed finger towards the country’s biggest neighbor India.

However most columnists inclined towards Awami league and left parties and leaders and activists of these parties discovered a pattern in the bomb blasts. In most cases secular forces and those who believe in culture, tradition and democratic values had been the target. The same group was behind the attack on Hasina’s rally.

Those pro BNP columnists pick up the same incident and argued Hasina was not the target of those assailants, if she were their target then why none of those grenades fall on the truck and also wrote thousand pages about AL’s possible motive behind this?

Some suspected it as a plot by international Muslim extremist groups; some pointed towards the association of ISI (Inter Services Intelligence); while Jamaat leader Matiur Rahman Nizami believes it is the work of “well known enemies of Islam” who masterminded, through various covert organizations, to carry out such brutal murders.

It became increasingly hard to dig out the truth from these fictions. With conspiracy theories you can use any piece of evidence to either prove or disprove your opinion and you can pick up any particular incident to strengthen your position. Truth has many faces but with conspiracy theory all you can achieve is a thousand shade of the truth and all these are equally probable and could be equally false.

In this present regime we have finally a charge sheet that clearly indicates Awami Leagues position is correct in this issue, RAB and other government intelligence agency finally concluded that Islamic militants are behind this attack and also a small fraction of BNP activists patronized this attack.

But is it the whole truth or only a facade? Lets look at the proceedings of the investigations.

To investigate 21st August 2004 bomb blast then BNP government first employed metropolitan police’s detective branch to investigate this incident, then this case was handed over to the criminal investigation department of Bangladesh Police. Five investigating officer under 3 officers in charge investigated this incident for over 4 years and they had submitted two charge sheet contradicting each other.

What is the progress in this case? When ever you ask this question to a law enforcement officer, a certain reply will be that “we are still investigating this matter. We had some lead but for the sake of this on going investigation we can not tell you anything.” Even after submitting charge sheet against 22 person in June 11, 2008 and acquitting all other person found guilty (on the first charge sheet presented by the CID), still the investigation has not been closed. So far we have 2 persons who claimed that they had actively participated in this failed assassination. On 26th June, 2005 Joj Miah from Noakhali confessed to police that for 5000 taka he carried out this attack under the order of Subrata Bain, a top terrorist. Subrata Bain and his group had close ties with some notorious AL leaders and they fled to India after alliance government took over the state in October 2001. He confessed to a magistrate that he had never seen any grenade before but Subrata Bain, Joy, Molla Masud ordered him to participate in this assassination. ASP of Police [CID] Abdur Rashid was the investigation officer then.

But the government were not satisfied with this finding so led by Munsi Atikur Rahman the investigation continued. The investigation found a paved path established by the coalition government.

So far we have two investigation reports, one of them was by Justice Jaynul Abedin, chairman of the one man investigation committee formed by the government to investigate 21st august grenade attack on Awami leagues rally. Awami League has rejected this report claiming it lacks neutrality. And another one was submitted by the Supreme Court Bar Association. According to Moudud Ahmed, who was Law minister at that time, claimed that this inquiry committee is illegal.

Jaynul Abedin’s investigation report:

Justice Jaynul Abedin had submitted his 162 pages manuscript of coalition governments collective story on 2nd October 2004. He was the member and chairman of one man inquiry committee formed by the government to investigate the grenade attack on Awami League rally on 21st august. On the eve of this submission those authorities in concern had invited journalist to give some insight of the report.

After scrutiny, critical and painstaking analysis, Jaynul Abedin did omit the possibility that coalition government and his ally, some extremist religious group and a part of Awami League was behind this heinous attack on Awami League activists.

But he did claim with certainty that a foreign intelligence agency actively participated in this event. They trained those assailants and equipped them with necessary ammunitions. He described this event on that informal press conference, “this incident is a naked attack on the independence and sovereignty of the country.”

Because Jaynul Abedin was a BNP activist in the past, Awami League questioned the neutrality of the investigation committee. Even though 123 people given their statement to this committee but that does not include Sheikh Hasina, who was the prime target of this massacre. Sheikh Hasina rejected the call for her statement.

In that one and half hour informal briefing on the report prior to its submission Jaynul concluded “the commission may not have received cooperation from all, which may have somewhat hindered the investigation, but the inquiry is in no way incomplete.”

Like any other investigation report submitted by any government formed investigation committee it also embraced the fate to remain unpublished till-to-date.

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) inquiry committee report:

On 22nd august, 2004, immediately after the grenade attack, The Supreme Court Bar Association formed an inquiry committee. Barrister Kamal Hossain was elected as the chairman of that committee and the other members of this committee were Rokonuddin Mahmud, Abdul Malek, Amir-ul-Islam, M Zahir and Muhammad Ayenuddin.

While Hasina wrapped up the rally, at that very moment a grenade went off loud and it was followed by at least 10 such explosions. Awami League leaders formed a human shield to cover Hasina from the splinter, they were injured in this process and soon after they escorted Hasina to her bullet proof SUV and Hasina left for Sudha Sadan, while on the move that SUV was attacked by bullets. Witnesses on their statement confirmed the SCBA inquiry committee that they had not seen any member of the law enforcing agency in action there.

After inspecting the place of occurrence on 27th august 2004 they went to Sudha Sadan, where Hasina assured the committee her full cooperation to find out the truth. Hasina’s security personal and her driver gave their statement to this committee and this committee also inspected the SUV.

Driver on his statement told the committee that he drove towards the east, then took a left turn and then he drove towards Sudha Sadan through zero point. But police officers deployed at the rally on 21st August on their statement said to inquiry committee, SUV carrying Sheikh Hasina away from that place drove westward, took a right turn, and then went to Sudha Sadan through zero point.

On 16th, 17th, 18th September the committee watched the video tape recorded by ATN, Channel I and NTV. On ATN video tape they saw a young man purposefully looking towards the multi storied Dhaka City Bhaban. Apart from this, on Channel I and NTV footage some suspicious incidents were seen by the committee members.

The inquiry committee sent two letters to Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, requesting her to extend cooperation for the inquiry and to direct the law enforcing agency to cooperate with them in interest of its work.

A letter was sent from the inquiry committee to IGP Shahudul Huq on 29 August 2004 requesting him to direct the police authorities to inform the inquiry committee of the number of persons who were deployed for maintaining the law and order in the public meeting on 21st August 2004 with the descriptions of their duties and locations.

After 3 weeks another letter was sent to him, requesting for his interview. The inquiry committee requested state minister of home affairs, but all of them turned down their request further more the law minister Moudud Ahmed on several occasion said that this inquiry committee had no legal basis and any report of any such illegal committee should not be recognized.

But the government did inform the SCBA inquiry committee that they had done every thing that is possible for them and sent a copy of the statement made by the State Minister for Home Affairs in the Parliament. In that speech the State Minister mentioned that the police made all out efforts to identify the culprits immediately after the incident and within 24 hours a Judicial Inquiry Commission was constituted with a judge of the Supreme Court as the sole Member. He also mentioned that the Government also arranged for an “international” inquiry into the 21st August incident side by side with Bangladesh police investigation and in response to the Government invitation 3 (three) teams from Interpol visited Bangladesh and helped the inquiry. Besides this, the government had also taken cooperation of FBI of USA.

The SCBA inquiry committee made repeated requests at the highest levels of the government for obtaining copies of reports of earlier bomb-blasts, the report of the ‘judicial inquiry’ into the 21 August, 2004 constituted by the Government, and other documents and information, but such requests have till-to-date were turned down.

The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) inquiry committee concluded it was a pre-planned attack, carried out on the basis of a carefully prepared plan, targeting Sheikh Hasina and other leaders and persons attending the rally. The firing of the bullets and grenades on the vehicle by which she was leaving the place of occurrence, confirms that she was the target.

The committee urged government to publish all reports of investigation within one month or else public may lead to believe attempt on Sheikh Hasina’s life was to some extent was patronized by this government.

The alleged HUJI rage against Awami League:

Some columnists claimed in the media that the AL government, after assuming power in 1996 barred Islamic scholars from issuing fatwa’s through a High Court order. The government also came on strong against the right wing protesters and arrested hundreds across the country. This had angered HUJI.

Mufti Abdul Hannan, the operative commander of the banned Harkatul Jihad-al-Islami revealed on 19th November 2006.

“I masterminded all grenade attacks across the country excepting the August 21, 2004 gruesome attack on the AL rally, and three people financed the outfit for carrying out the attacks”

Hannan gave another detailed statement on 1st November 2007:

“Kajol was given the responsibility to collect funds and grenades for the attack. They decided that 12 persons would carry out the attack and Kajol and Abu Jandal would select the commanders of the operation. It was decided that Kajol and Jandal brief the attackers about their positions and Jandal would throw the first grenade after getting instruction from Sayeed. The others would throw their grenades at around the same time. Hannan said the attackers targeted the truck and left the spot individually after the operation.”

However question remains as why HUJI chose to attack Hasina after all those years and during the period when there was a row of political killings of Awami League leaders (Kibria, Ahsan Master etc.) were happening. HUJI members were used but who masterminded the attack?

The BNP connection:

In January 2008, former deputy minister for information of the BNP government Abdus Salam Pintu was arrested for his involvement with the grenade attacks on Awami League rally on August 21 in 2004. He was arrested on the basis of confessional statement made earlier by detained Mufti Hannan who claimed that the attack on the AL rally was planned at the official residence of the former Deputy Minister. Hannan said that Pintu was present at the meeting and later supplied the grenades.

He made startling disclosure to interrogators about the involvement of former State Minister of Home Lutfuzzaman Babar and ‘Hawa Bhaban’ in the grenade attacks. From The New Nation:

“The CID officer said they were certain after the arrest of Mufti Hannan and Pintu that the attack on the AL rally had been aided and abetted by Lutfuzzaman Babar and the Hawa Bhaban.

“To hide the truth, former investigation officer Ruhul Amin, a CID officer, had gone to Pintu’s house several times,” he said, and added, “former State Minister of Home Babar was involved in the entire process and Pintu would regularly inquire with him about the progress.”

Pintu’s counsel Advocate Sanaullah Mia, however, told : “He was implicated only because his cousin Maulana Tajul Islam, a militant leader and an accused in the grenade attack case, had visited his house when Pintu was a Minister,”

HUJI is the culprit but who used them and why?

On June 11, 2008 charges were finally made against 22 persons including top Harkat-ul-Jihad (Huji) leader Mufti Abdul Hannan and BNP leader and former deputy minister Abdus Salam Pintu. Newspaper reports say:

“CID Chief Additional Inspector General Jabed Patwari said HUJI top leaders planned and carried out the attacks to kill Hasina as a few arrested attackers said in their confessional statements that Hasina would harm Islam if she was alive and came to power again.

BNP leader Pintu is not involved with Huji but he has been charged since the attackers had held two meetings at his residence to take decision about the attack.”

But the question remains whether HUJI tried to kill Hasina on their own or it was a political assassination plot linked by BNP to take out the opposition. Like every other political massacre the 21st August grenade attack on Hasina has no clear motive whatsoever and after 4 years of investigation we are not certain whether those who were behind this ghastly attack have finally been exposed. Will we be able to know the truth?

  

We do hope this stretches a smile on your face...

After failing to realise green is harder to pink then first thought and that even with incredible intellect and moustache you can still be defected by a masked maiden and a girl and her puppy, the mastermind went into hiding.

A few months in hiding gave her enough time to invent a even better method and now she's back and up to her old ways; convinced she can turn the world pink!

 

Happy Pretty Pink Tuesday, hope you are all having fun phooning today!
