		When this situation arises, Councils are required to fund overdrawn grant balances with non-grant monies, and there is a risk that they may not be able to maintain adequate levels of liquidity to ensure that their debts can be paid as and when they fall due.
		Of the 13 Island Councils with finalised 2001–02 financial statements at 30 April 2003, seven were involved in the operation of enterprises.
		Island Councils are exempt from paying income tax, and there is a public expectation that public sector entities will pay their debts in full.

	Torres Straits Tourist Information
		It is ironic that the dan is often referred to as the ‘headdress of peace’, as it was traditionally donned by Torres Strait Island warriors during interclan warfare.
		These tropical islands, some of them sitting on their own coral reefs, have virtually no tourist infrastructure and very few people make the effort to see this gorgeous part of the world.
		The island is only a few kilometres from the Papua New Guinea coast and there are strong cultural ties with the communities across the border.
