	Art Prints CH : Mawa Mask, a limited edition print by David Bosun, Australian Aboriginal artist
		The Mawa Mask, from Saibai Island, is 460 mm in height and is made from carved wood, painted, with eyes of nautilus shell with fibre added to it.
		This print is credited to and for the seven clans of Saibai Island for their well maintained cultural beliefs, practices and performances of their traditional dances and customs that I always admired when I was growing up.
		While seeing them performing their unique style of dancing during many festivals and traditional feastings, I was always overwhelmed by their technique, and wished that I was also from Saibai Island so I too would have the rights of performing and dressing in their warrior like dancing costumes.

	Auditor-General's Report #10 for 2003-2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Three Island Councils (Boigu, Saibai and Yorke) are of particular concern as the financial statements have yet to be finalised.
		QAO was advised by its contract auditor that the Erub Island Council had decided to adopt the accrual method of accounting in 2002–03 and that additional audit work was necessary to assist Council in preparing the statutory financial statements and to verify the entries processed to implement accrual accounting.
		In addition, the 2001–02 financial statements of Saibai Island Council were qualified on the basis that total actual expenditure recorded in the Statement of Budget and Actual Expenditure was understated by a net amount of $78,698 and therefore may have been misleading to financial statement readers.
