Hvadenten det er vanillekranse, klejner, finsk brød eller kagenisser, det bliver bare lækkert. Julestue Kom igang med julepynten sammen med børnene, der skal klippes og klistres stjerner og julehjerter eller fantasidyr til at komme på juletræet. Sidste år lavede vi appelsiner med nelliker og flotte sløjfer og forgyldte grankogler. Juletræspyntning Kan I huske det flotte juletræ sidste år? Det skal pyntes igen fra top til fod og være klar til julefesterne i november og december for både den norske og schweiziske klub, inden det bliver vores egen tur 10. december 2011. Julemanden kommer kun, hvis træet stråler! Tilmelding og praktiske detaljer Alle juleaktiviteterne er gratis. Tilmelding til Lone Schmidt (hoimark.schmidt@bigpond.com) eller 33592026. Baren sælger juice og sodavand, kaffe og te og mon ikke vi kan klare hot dogs eller en ostemad til sultne forældre. BARE FOR OS! FILMEN OM DIRCH Nikolaj Lie Kaas spiller den altdominerende hoved- og titelrolle i den store danske film “Dirch” om den legendariske komiker Dirch Passer. København i slutningen af 50´erne, et stort forventningsfuldt publikum stimler sammen ned ad Frederiksberg Allé. De skal i teatret, og der er især én, de er kommet for at se: Dirch Passer - Danmarks morsomste mand. Han er ikke meget mere end 30 år gammel, og allerede en myte. Med et blik, en enkelt replik, har han publikum i sin hule hånd. Sammen med sin makker, sin sjæleven, sin åndelige bror, Kjeld Petersen (Lars Ranthe), er han på toppen af verden. De lægger gaderne øde med deres unikke sampil og fantastiske timing i revyernes højborg – Stig Lommers farverige ABC scene. Alt hvad Dirch nogensinde har drømt om er virkelighed, han og Kjeld nyder livet som berømtheder til fulde. Endeløse byture, letlevende damer, og konstant arbejde. Men i kulisserne lurer dæmonerne. “Dirch” spænder over 3 årtier og er en hyldest til komikken, til latteren og til håbet. PALACE BARRACKS CINEMAS 27.

Dobbelt statsborgerskab Der tegner sig i det nye danske Folketing et bredt flertal FOR dobbelt statsborgerskab, fortæller statsborger.dk: Dobbelt statsborgerskab er nævnt på side 55 i regeringsgrundlaget: ”Danmark er et moderne samfund i en international verden. Derfor skal det være muligt at have dobbelt statsborgerskab.” ( LINK: http://multimedia.jp.dk/archive/00300/Regeringsgrundlaget_300968a.pdf ) Fra statsborger.dk skal der lyde en stor tak til det tidligere radikale folketingsmedlem Jørgen Poulsen, der utrætteligt har kæmpet for vores sag, og fået sætningerne om dobbelt statsborgerskab med i regeringsgrundlaget. Kort efter offentliggørelsen af regeringsgrundlaget meldte Venstre sig under fanen, og da Liberal Alliance altid har støttet sagen er det nu ikke stemmer, der mangler. ( Se presseklip her: www.statsborger.dk/press.htm) Hvad sker der så nu? Integrationsministeriet er blevet nedlagt, og vi har fået oplyst, at det nu er Justitsministeriet, der har ansvaret for at ændre loven. Statsborger.dk og andre interesseorganisationer som Danes Worldwide ( www.danes.dk) og DABGO (www.dabgo.net) vil følge lovgivningsarbejdet nøje, og forsøge at komme med relevante input med udgangspunkt i de erfaringer, vi nu igennem mange års kampagne har indsamlet. www.statsborger.dk vil løbende holde Jer orienteret om sagens udvikling, og på Facebook mødes vi – også til sund debat! - i gruppen Dobbelt Statsborgerskab NU! ( http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/11034191452/ ) Når loven ér vedtaget, kan udedanskere søge om statsborgerskab i deres bopælslande, og udlændinge i Danmark kan søge dansk statsborgerskab uden af skulle fraskrive deres oprindelige statsborgerskab. Derfor opretter vi på Facebook-gruppen links til de forskellige landes betingelser for at ansøge om og opnå statsborgerskab – og alle er velkomne til at bidrage! Afsluttende er det os magtpåliggende at understrege, at dobbelt statsborgerskab er et spørgsmål om en ændring af Indfødsretsloven – mens spørgsmålet om stemmeret for udedanskere er et grundlovsspørgsmål, og dermed en helt anden sag. Dobbelt statsborgerskab vil give udedanskere ret til at stemme i deres bopælsland og naturaliserede udlændinge lov til at stemme i Danmark. Dobbelt statsborgerskab vil ligestille danskere i udlandet og udlændinge i Danmark med borgerne i de lande, Danmark både samarbejder og sammenligner sig med. Sagen om stemmeret til udedanskere er ikke Statsborger.dk´s sag, men kan f.eks. følges på denne side http://www.eksiltinget.dk Tina Thuesen – Schweiz - tthuesen@bluewin.ch Marianne Dellinger – USA - marianne.dellinger@gmail.com Charlotte Sylvestersen – Italien – info@italy.dk Lyt til interview med Tina Thuesen på www.sbs.com.au/radio Og hvis dit pas er tæt på at udløbe, husk at søg om nyt pas inden 31. december 2011 (kontakt den danske konsul i Brisbane, Lars Kirk, snarest) EM i fodbold Danmark vandt 4-1 over Cypern (7. oktober) og 2-1 over Portugal (11. oktober) og er dermed klar til EM. Danmark skal spille mod bl.a. Polen og Ukraine på udebane til EM i 2012. Nu skal smørrebrød være hipt i New York Hvordan udtaler man ord som smørrebrød, dyrlægens natmad og flæskesteg på amerikansk? Tja, det vil borgerne i New York kunne øve sig godt og grundigt på fra på mandag, når den københavnske smørrebrødsrestaurant Aamanns åbner en filial i Tribeca i millionbyen. At have en chance for at åbne i New York, det er jo helt fantastisk. Timingen er jo også – synes vi selv – rigtig god, for der er ikke nogen ordentlig repræsentant for det danske frokostbord i New York og interessen for nordisk gastronomi er stor, siger Adam Aamann til P1. Han satser på, at de frokosttilbud, der er populære i restauranten i København, også vil være det i New York. (www.dr.dk – 20. oktober 2011) Brisbane International Film Festival The 20th annual Brisbane International Film Festival runs from the 3-13 November with screenings being held at the Tribal Theatre, and the Palace Barracks and Centro Cinemas and is 11 days jam-packed full of films from around the world. Check out our website at www.biff.com.au Armadillo: Embedded for sixth months in 2009 with a volunteer Danish platoon in Forward Base Armadillo, a fortified outpost in Afghanistan adjacent to dug-in Taliban fighters, director Janus Metz and cinematographer Lars Skree were intimate witnesses to the young soldiers' everyday lives. This cinéma vérité approach requires no narration or commentary. The camera roves among the men, close-up, fully immersed in the action, even when the bullets start to fly. The recipient of the Critics' Week Grand Prize at Cannes, this engaging depiction of both the terror and mundanity of soldiers' lives sparked a furore in Denmark and provoked a military inquiry. With the recent loss of Australian lives in Afghanistan, Armadillo silently poses some pointed questions about our ongoing involvement in the region.

Hi, my name is Emma Schmidt. I work in the kitchen every café night. I’m studying a Dual Diploma of Tourism and Event Management at Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE.

Having received quite a beating in the 2010 rifle and shotgun event after success in winning the 2009 'hunt', we decided this year we should put up a better show if possible. Accordingly, 10 of us on the Danish team had a few monthly practice opportunities before the event. The level of development from the practices were likely varied, but we did enjoy ourselves, with cheers whenever someone managed to actually hit a clay pigeon. The rifle practice with open sights, hunting sights and target sights using .22LR ammunition allowed some skill practice across a range of stances with a lesser cost than the .223 rifles in the Moose Hunt event. On the day, we showed that Scandinavian genes in our women could match the winning Swedish female performance of 2010. The event was won by Inge Tvede, with a better rifle score able to balance out a winning Svenska shotgun performance to allow Inge to win the gold medal. Our Danish male population was well-represented with Kurt Sorensen taking out the silver medal. Congratulations to Gunnar for his bronze medal. All shooters reported enjoying themselves. The traditional split pea and ham soup with Punsch (originally a Swedish mix of arrak and rum with various herbs and spices, I believe), though this one was cleverly made of a concentrate blended with vodka. Much care was taken to ensure safe driving to follow and pleasant company and conversations made for a lovely day out. With such a great result and enjoyable event courtesy of the Swedes. we confessed to our practice and agreed to share the sessions with anyone wishing to join us next year. Kurt, Inge and Gunnar proudly displaying their medals and prizes (photo: Kim Tvede) Study & Stay in Australia? Your door to the best in Australian Education & Training….

We were again in a great position to man our stall selling Danish pastries, coffee and ice cream and it was good to see that many new hands joined up with old hands to get the team work going. One of the benefits to the club is also having our members work together and enjoy the day – whilst we have a busy stall, everybody had some fun and were part of the celebration of multiculturalism in Brisbane. We haven’t seen the official visitor numbers but everybody we have spoken to felt the visitor numbers were markedly down on last year and this combined with more food stalls impacted sales. Our turnover was down 30% on last year and the estimated funds raised for the club looks to be 50% down on last year to $2500. Whilst this is still a great contribution towards our running costs, I don’t feel the result reflects the big effort put into the event, and we have cut costs to an absolute minimum and also borrowed equipment to avoid hire costs. A big thank you goes to Henrik Caspersen who joined us with his coffee cart and Jacinta, barista extraordinaire – they churned out some great coffees. Many thanks to all our volunteers – it was a great day out and a tremendous effort for the club. photo: Tenna Bergmann Dansk legegruppe for medlemmer af Heimdal Fredag 9.30-11.30 i Heimdals lokaler, 36 Austin St, Newstead QLD 4006 Første søndag i måneden 10-12 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.
