HERO WANTED
Alira hopes Bulldogs will help make heart surgery less scary
BY MELANIE WHELAN
FOUR-YEAR-OLD Western
Bulldogs fan Alira Dobell
wants her heroes to help her
be braver in hospital.
Alira is preparing for her
second open heart surgery
and remains waiting for a
call-up from the cardiac
team at Royal Children’s
Hospital, which could come
any moment now.
All she hopes was to see
a couple of Bulldogs players
once she was in recovery.
Doctors, nurses and hospi-
tals – even X-rays – terrify the
Ballarat junior Bulldogs’ fan.
Alira’s mum Rohini Do-
bell said a lot of the anxiety
stemmed from changes to
her PEG feeding tube that
she needs for an oesopha-
gus condition.
Alira had her first open
heart surgery at four months
old but Ms Dobell said this
latest surgery, Alira’s fifth
overall, had been pretty un-
expected.
Tissue had built up under
her pulmonary valve and
she needed surgery to both
remove the excess tissue and
to repair the valve.
“She had only been go-
ing in to see specialists for
throat issues but then, things
changed quicker than ex-
pected for her heart,” Ms
Dobell said.
“Alira was getting extreme-
ly tired and would come
home from outings and sleep
for four hours. It was a lot of
sleep for a girl who hated
sleeping during the day.”
When the call for surgery
comes, Alira will make sure
her beloved plush Bulldogs’
mascot Woofa goes with her,
to help take care of her.
Alira keeps Bulldogs
books by her bed for night-
time reading with her mum,
including player lists, and
posters on her wall of her
AFL and AFLW heroes.
Marcus Bontempelli is her
favourite player because he
wears number four – her age.
Alira also knows Lachie
Hunter’s number is seven
and captain Bob Murphy
wears number two – Mur-
phy’s number is the same
as her younger sister
Sadie’s age.
“She is in love with the
Bulldogs,” Ms Dobell said.
“We’ve been to one game
this season and a few last
year but we watch them all
on television.
“If her father and I are
talking about the game, she’ll
always say ‘Mum and Dad
shush, the footy’s on’.
“She always wants to
high-five the mascots when
they come out on the field,
even though we usually
sit upstairs.”
Alira has been a Bulldog
since birth, just like her mum
and sister, and they have a
family membership – even
though her dad is a Haw-
thorn supporter.
Ms Dobell said Alira was
so excited to be part of the
Bulldogs’ guard of honour
when players ran out for a
match last year.

Boer War biscuit find
BY MELANIE WHELAN
A 116-YEAR-OLD biscuit is
one Ballarat family’s treas-
ured heirloom.
The biscuit, preserved
from the Boer War, is worked
into a small piece of art that
features a photograph and
ribbons woven about the
baked treat.
War Heritage Roadshow
project manager and con-
servator Sophie Lewincamp
said the biscuit was among
the brilliant and unexpect-
ed finds unearthed on the
first day of the state regional
event, which launched in
Ballarat on Wednesday.
“The family brought (the
biscuit) here in really good
condition,” Ms Lewincamp
said. “What we need to think
about as conservators are all
the materials – and this one
was a challenge as a mul-
ti-material piece, including
acid-free tissue paper and
padding for textiles.
“...We’re hoping to give
everyone who comes ways
they can look after their stuff
– we’re not looking for dona-
tions, but it’s helping people
to know when it’s appropri-
ate to seek a conservator.
“The main thing we want
people to know is never to
give up on an artifact.”
The two-day stop in Bal-
larat, which continues At Art
Gallery of Ballarat on Thurs-
day, drew a strong showing
on the back of Anzac Day.

unopened for decades.
Ballarat’s Julie Brusaschi

“I had all these items and

PARKING SOLUTIONS: A multi-storey car park along Mair Street was slated as a medium to long-term possibility in the 2014 Ballarat
Station Precinct Master Plan, but has since received no attention from council or government.
Mixed opinions on upgrade
BY OLIVIA SHYING
WHILE the city’s peak commerce body has
welcomed a $7 million upgrade to Mair
Street, some frustrated retailers feel the
changes could have a detrimental impact
on local businesses and the future of Bal-
larat’s CBD.
VicRoads says the upgrade, which is still in
its planning stages, will improve safety, ease
congestion and improve pedestrian and cy-
cling access to schools, shops and the train
station.
However, a group of retailers say they were
left out of the Citizen Advisory Group that
consisted of 34 members of the community
and retailers. The group was consulted in
October 2016 and provided feedback which
formed the basis of many of the plans.

“I don’t think the traffic lights are neces-

Car park
on Mair
an option
BY BRENDAN WRIGLEY
THE City of Ballarat will look to the private
sector for investment in multi-storey car
parking as part of its CBD Parking Action
Plan, including a potential space on Mair
Street.
The potential car park was first earmarked
as a medium to long-term opportunity as
part of the Ballarat Station Precinct Master
Plan, released by the City of Ballarat in 2014.
City of Ballarat mayor Samantha Mclntosh
said council would call for expressions of
interest in private sector investment in mul-
ti-storey, off-street parking in stage two of the
five-year plan. “It would make sense to have
something close in CBD, but we need to be
careful of the skyline and views.”
The state government’s $25 million invest-
ment in the precinct includes the creation of
a multi-storey, 270-space commuter car park
near Nolan Street, however no commitment
has been made for the Mair Street proposal.
Council representatives are due to meet
with Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan
in an effort to see the capacity of the car park
boosted prior to construction.
will see the benefits.”
City of Ballarat Mayor Samantha McIntosh
said council had not been fully briefed on the
plans by VicRoads.
“It’s always wise to be informed with these
sorts of projects – we want to make sure that
it fits in with our car parking action plans.
“As a council it’s important for us we do
whatever we can to support strong retail
business. Our local business community
will require a robust car parking system,” Cr
McIntosh said. VicRoads regional director
Ewen Nevett said the community will be able
to participate in June consultation.
“Consultation with the community and
retailers is absolutely central to the revitali-
sation of Mair Street,” Mr Nevett said.
“Once we have gathered further feedback
and finalised plans, we expect to start works
on the revitalization of Mair Street later
this year.”

Attempt
made to
import Grainy footage has

drugs
emerged of an alleged
arson attack in February.

BY ALICIA THOMAS
A 31-YEAR-OLD Uber driver
who was caught attempting
to import ephedrine from
India to manufacture drugs
in his chook shed has faced
court in Ballarat.
Patrick Leonidas, of Par-
wan near Bacchus Marsh,
had researched on the inter-
net how to make methylam-
phetamine (ice) in an effort
to make himself more money
to support his young family,
a County Court sitting in Bal-
larat on Wednesday heard.
The father of three, who
had once attempted to be-
come a priest in Greece, had
contacted a man in India
from whom he purchased
$6842 worth of ephedrine
- the drug used to manufac-
ture ice.
But the court heard the
shipment of the ephedrine
was intercepted when it ar-
rived in Sydney, after it was
discovered sewn into the
lining of garments which had
been sent in a dry cleaning
bag from New Delhi.
The address on the ship-
ment was linked to a PO
Box Leonidas had opened
in Melton.
On June 15, 2016
Australian Federal Police
attended Leonidas’ rural
Parwan property where a
clandestine lab was found in
a small chicken shed.
Keys to the Melton PO
Box, laboratory glassware
and instructions on how to
make ice using ephedrine
were also found.
Leonidas made admis-
sions to attempting to man-
ufacture the drug ice, telling
police he legally purchased
some of the scientific equip-
ment found in the chicken
shed from the Ballarat and
Melton areas.
But he had never made the
drug or sold any.
Leonidas has pleaded
guilty to one count each
of attempting to traffick
methylamphetamine, the
Commonwealth offence of
importing tier one goods,
and possessing cannabis.
He faces a maximum of
15 years behind bars for at-
tempting to traffick the drug.
Leonidas' lawyer told the
court it was clear her client
was a long way from making
any drugs, with Leonidas
abandoning his attempt in
April of 2016. She explained
to the court her client, who
had ended up bankrupt
in 2013, wanted to make
more money and get back
into a position to support
his family.
She added the decision to
embark on the "ridiculous"
endeavor was out of charac-
ter for her client who had no
criminal history.
With excellent rehabilita-
tive prospects, she submitted
a community corrections or-
der was a sentencing option
open to the court.
The plea hearing will con-
tinue on May 12.
UNKNOWN END: This kangaroo was released from a fence near Glenlyon but a wildlife
carer says it may not fully recover as the animals can suffer for weeks before dying.
Young joey trapped in fence
A WILDLIFE carer has urged
residents to call a shelter if
they stumble across injured
animals after a young joey
became stuck in fencing and
was separated from its mum
in Glenlyon at the weekend.
Two women helped free
the animal from a fence
near Suttons Lane on Satur-
day afternoon.
But Hepburn Wildlife
Shelter manager Gayle
Chappelle, who has years of
experience caring for injured
animals, said people should
call a wildlife centre to help
assess a kangaroo before it is
released back into the wild.

as you can,” she said.

torching

BALLARAT police have

for information to find two
arsonists who allegedly set
alight a truck along Spencer

Police said extensive
damage was caused to the
truck parked at a business
premises on Spencer Street
in the early hours of Sunday,
February 26.
“Offenders responsible
for a deliberately lit fire were
captured on CCTV, and po-

“Although the images are

of a large build and height,
possibly wearing a blue coat.
“The other male is wearing
a black windcheater with a
white motif on the front.”
Police called on business
owners to upgrade CCTV
systems but hoped someone
would come forward with
more information.

Drug
drivers
shock
police
‘‘
BY OLIVIA SHYING

AN ALARMING number
of drug-taking drivers have
made the decision to get
behind the wheel despite
numerous warnings from
police.
A total of 19 drivers were
detected driving with drugs
in their system during a
13-day police operation
aimed at reducing trauma on
the region’s roads.
Ballarat Highway Patrol
Senior Sergeant Pat Cleary
slammed this section of driv-
ers for failing to heed advise
and understand the poten-
tial trauma their decisions
could lead to. Overall, police
were relatively pleased with
Operation Nexus results but
say drivers need to remem-
ber that speed, fatigue, drug
and drink driving are major
contributors to fatalities.

causes to our trauma – drug

drug-taking driver was also
high, with one in 14 drivers
tested for drugs returning a
positive result.
“What is of concern is that
over 1400 motorists should
not have been on the roads,
being picked up by police for
disqualified, suspended or
unlicensed driving,” Acting
Deputy Commissioner Doug
Fryer said.
Senior Sergeant Cleary
said most drink drivers re-
turned relatively low-range
readings – suggesting drivers
were underestimating the
effects of consumed alcohol.
Also of concern were the 94
drivers detected speeding in

BLOC’s steampunk twist on Wicked hit ior Sergeant Cleary said.

BLOC Music Theatre’s up-
coming production of Wick-
ed will see a steampunk twist
on the long running Broad-
way hit.
The show opens at Her
Majesty’s next month.
“The costumes alone in
this production are months
in the making – each it’s own
piece of art with Steampunk
inspiration cogs and clocks
hand-created from hats to
toes,” Mr Hollywood said.
“The teams of people have
been building, sewing, danc-
ing and singing since De-
cember to create the master-
pieces you will see on stage.”
This year BLOC will team
up with the Order of Saint
John of Jerusalem Knights
Hospitaller Ballarat to sup-
port to support the On Track
Foundation Youth Scholar-
ship Fund. The theatre will
donate $5 from each ticket
sold on opening night. The
On Track Foundation who
are best known for their Soup
Bus also support students at
risk to stay at school.
Wicked is already the
17th longest running show
in London theatre history.
Wicked will open at Her Maj-
esty’s Theatre on Thursday,
May 11 and run until May 21.

“The message is taking
drugs and driving simply
don’t go together. The results
can be devastating.”
Senior Sergeant Cleary
urged drug takers to remem-
ber that illicit substances can
stay in a person’s system for
a long period of time – and
those who chose to take
drugs should not drive.
Statewide, the number of
the Ballarat region, however
this relatively low compared
to the more than 200 picked
up for speeding in the
Moorabool region.
“Generally, Ballarat mo-
torists can be commended
for their driving and heeding
the messages during this
operation period which has
resulted in relatively low
trauma which is a trend we
all need.”

Huge victory for residents
Subdivision denied
for safety concerns
BY JEREMY VENOSTA
BALLARAT City Council
voted unanimously against
a planned subdivision at
Mount Clear due to environ-
mental and safety concerns
for nearby residents.
The 21-house develop-
ment would have cut down
94 per cent of trees on the
property, which sits between
Geelong Road and Hermit-
age Avenue, and is covered
by environmental overlays.
Residents were also wor-
ried about the safety of peo-
ple on Hermitage Avenue,
where a proposed access
lane would let cars leave the
subdivision.
Five Mount Clear resi-
dents, representing 28 ob-
jectors, spoke against the
subdivision at council’s or-
dinary meeting on Wednes-
day night.
Council was presented
with a recommendation to
approve the proposal, how-
ever Cr Des Hudson moved
a motion to instead deny
the request.
Ian Moyle lives opposite
the proposed development
on Hermitage Avenue and
was one of the first residents
on the street more than 36
years ago.

City’s hottest property

at $1m mark: realtor
BY JESSICA BLACK

DEMAND for Ballarat’s top

tier properties is outstripping
supply, a report released this
week revealed.
Ballarat’s housing mar-
ket is on the rise along with
Melbourne and Bendigo,
according to national in-
dependent property valuer
Herron Todd White.
The report said the city’s
burgeoning growth was
driven by demand from
Melbourne, with demand
for central properties in the
$700,000 bracket exceed-
ed supply.
Ray White Ballarat direc-
tor Phillip Lee said there were
strong buyers in the $750,000
to $1 million market.
The realtor this year sold a
home in the Insignia Estate
sold in February for close to
$1 million.
“We have people who
earn big dollars back in
Melbourne and commute in
Ballarat,” Mr Lee said.
“If we had half a dozen
of these properties today
we’d sell them. There’s not
a lot on the market, that’s
the problem.”
Ballarat is one of three
Victorian cities revealed to
be on the rise in April, along
with Melbourne and Bendi-
go, the Herron Todd White
report said.
Mr Lee said Ballarat had
seen a steady growth in the

housing market and expect-
ed a stronger year ahead.
“Ballarat doesn’t get crash,
we get a leveling out,” he said.
“It’s just the supply and
demand in the Ballarat re-
gion. We have a lot of land
for sale in Ballarat and that in
itself holds us back a little bit
but certainly inner city pock-
ets, there’s been very strong
levels of activity where a lot
of auction properties are ex-
ceeding their reserve prices.”
Gippsland was the only
Victorian centre to approach
the bottom of the market.
Central, renovated homes
were achieving prices above
$1 million, with $3 million
sales recorded this month
in Ballarat Central and Lake
Wendouree.
Period homes in Ballarat
Central and at Lake Wen-
douree were most sought af-
ter, with demand exceeding
supply in the $700,000 plus
bracket, the report said.
The report’s authors said
the city’s growth “appeared
sustainable”, spurred by
rising prices in Melbourne
which were pushing buy-
ers into regional cities. The
report predicted continued
demand for Lake Wendouree
and Ballarat Central.
All cities peaking or ap-
proaching peak are in New
South Wales and Queens-
land including Sydney, Coffs
Harbour and the Sunshine
and Gold Coasts. Darwin,
Gladstone and Mackay had
reached the bottom on the
market, while Perth, Alice
Springs, Gipplsand and
Rockhampton were on their
way down. The report said
Horsham and Mildura’ were
starting to recover.
It's been a soggy April.

BALLARAT has almost dou-
bled its average April rainfall
after the Bureau of Meteorol-
ogy initially said the month
would be drier than usual.
The gauge at the air-
port registered more than
31.4mm of rain on Wednes-
day night since Monday,
bringing April’s total to a
whopping 98.4mm.
The monthly average
is 50.8mm.
Storms hit Ballarat in the
early hours of Wednesday
after the bureau issued a se-

The SES ended up reciev-

tance across the state.
Crews were particularly
busy in the southwest of

There’s a medium chance

Mr Trump reportedly
described it as the “worst

The tension was over
an Australia-US refugee

Barack Obama and later
reluctantly agreed to by Mr
Trump on the proviso there
was “extreme vetting”.

man stands
down amid
bully claims
THE Australian Olympic
Committee will trigger an
independent review into its
workplace amid claims of
widespread bullying over
more than a decade.
As the organisation’s
media director Mike
Tancred stood down on
Wednesday, AOC president
John Coates was dragged
into the bullying furore.
His former chief execu-
tive Fiona de Jong released
a chain of emails in which
Coates told a cancer-
suffering AOC staffer that
she didn’t work in a “shel-
tered workshop”.
The use of the term upset
the Australian Paralympic
Committee as Coates faces
the first challenge to his
AOC presidency since he
took the role 27 years ago.
Coates’ staunch ally Tan-
cred stood down pending
a resolution of a bullying
claim against him by de
Jong.
The AOC executive held
a crisis meeting on Wednes-
day night, deciding to refer
de Jong’s complaint to an
independent committee of
three senior counsel or re-
tired judges.
“Further, the AOC will
commission an independ-
ent review, overseen by the
incoming CEO, into work-
place practices to ensure
the best possible environ-
ment for our staff,” the ex-
ecutive said.

INSIGHT
Turns out, five
good friends
is all that you
need in life
I
T WAS the kind of evening that only
crops up once every couple of years.
My husband was away and my chil-
dren were with their grandparents. I
had known for weeks this rare window of
freedom beckoned – a fleeting chance to see
female friends. Yet there were precious few
I wanted to meet. Plus, I wanted to spend
time alone. So I poured myself a glass of
wine and luxuriated in my own company.
It's hard to get away from the notion that
having a sprawling social circle is yet anoth-
er box to tick on the checklist of modern life.
But is this realistic, let alone necessary?
And it might not be scientifically possible.
In the 1990s, British anthropologist Robin
Dunbar claimed the size of the human brain
means there is a finite number of people
we are able to maintain in our social sphere
(150) and that, among those, we are only ca-
pable of forming five truly close friendships.
I have many acquaintances. But in terms
of women I could call right now, who I make
an active effort to see on any sort of regular
basis? I can count them on one hand.
In our 20s, hours cultivating careers made
sloping off from work early untenable. As we
entered our 30s, there were pregnancies to
navigate. While I am every bit as fond of my
friends, with every month the amount there
is to catch up on becomes increasingly over-
whelming – and so I send an emoji-filled
text and put off the call for yet another week.
But putting authentic friendships on hold
as we navigate family and work needn't
signal disaster, says therapist Hilda Burke.
“Common values and mutual experiences
– even if not shared on a regular basis – can
help a friendship endure and feel fresh
without regular contact. If the foundations
are solid, friendships can last for a lifetime.”
So perhaps it is time to stop feeling
guilty and remind ourselves that, while we
might not be able to make our friendships
a priority, the ones that matter will remain
intact and be there to cheer you on.

POPE’S VIEW

Fundraising sweets
are not that innocent
I
WAS delighted to read that hospitals
around the country are removing sugary
drinks from their fridges because being
overweight and obese is associated
with a wide range of chronic health condi-
tions, including some cancers. The article
also picked up on the need to have tighter
restrictions on junk food advertising.
I thought back to last Saturday when I
arrived at netball with my daughter and the
adults at her club handed out “fun boxes”
of 50 chocolates to each child without any
engagement with parents.
You can just imagine the reaction of
the mum sitting next to me who has twins
playing in the same team: 100 chocolates
had just made their way into her household.
This is not responsible fundraising.
Sporting clubs should not be promoting
junk food. There should not be 50 choco-
lates sitting as a temptation in our house
and my daughter should not be marketing
for a chocolate company and selling their
products to other children.
The children involved don't exactly see
this as an optional exercise and feel pres-
sured to conform.
After an argument on the side of the court,
my daughter said she needed to be seen as

a team player and to care about fundraising
for her club. I caved in. In retrospect I
shouldn't have.
Essentially, our sporting clubs are helping
our major chocolate manufacturers to
normalise children promoting and selling
their unhealthy products under the auspices
of raising much-needed funds for clubs.
Our sporting clubs are clearly buying into
the deal even though there are plenty of
other fundraising options available (and I do
acknowledge that sporting clubs and other
community organisations are often chroni-
cally underfunded).
This flies in the face of campaigns
addressing the obesity epidemic we're
watching unfold before our eyes – and our
sporting clubs are promoting it.
The Victorian government's Better Health
Channel advises that the number of over-
weight children in Australia has doubled in
recent years, with a key consideration being
unhealthy food choices.
The potential for these choices to lead to
health problems including diabetes, eating
disorders, orthopaedic disorders, liver prob-
lems and respiratory disorders, just to name
a few, are well documented. When you
couple this with the significant social stigma

that is attached to overweight children and
associated bullying, we need to think about
how society has contributed to this issue.
When our sporting clubs help market
chocolate and encourage players to either
enjoy the products or sell to others, we've
got a big problem.
They're not the only ones, with many
schools doing the same and we as parents
helping to normalise this behaviour.
It's time for us to collectively act as role
models for our children and not be passive
contributors.
Our hospitals have started to lead the way.
It's time for sporting clubs, other community
organisations and institutions to follow.
And it’s time for parents like me to stop
folding in the face of unhappiness from our
children.
We can collectively address this issue by
wiping out the so called “fun box” and just
saying no.
We need to restrict the advertising of junk
food, not promote it.
Our children deserve better. The buck has
to stop with us all.

COMMEMORATIONS OPEN TO
EXPLOITATION?
Australia is spending the extraordinary
amount of A$562 million commemorating
the centenary of the first world war between
2014 and 2018 — far more than any other
nation, including the major combatants.
This is compelling proof we are very at-
tached to the cluster of beliefs and traditions
we call the “Anzac legend”.
While we identify Anzac as one of the
most prized components of the Australian
identity in 2017, that has not always been
the case. The values we associate with Anzac
today – mateship, sacrifice, the birth of the
nation – are not necessarily the qualities that
would have come to mind for an Australian
of the 1920s. And if you asked a 1970’s
university student what they thought about
Anzac, they might well have told you that it
was an old-fashioned idea that glorified war;
the sooner it was forgotten, the better.
The Anzac legend has an often-contro-
versial history. That history began almost
as soon as news of the dawn landing of
the Anzac troops at Gallipoli on April 25,
1915 reached Australian shores. The more
obvious occasion for Australia’s national
birth — the peaceful act of federation on
January 1, 1901 – lacked the bloody appeal
of Gallipoli. The Australian nation was
created during the age of “New Imperialism”,
when the empires of Europe were engaged
in furious competition for colonial outposts
and the resources and markets they would
bring. It was a contest that led in 1914 to the
outbreak of the first world war. According to
the chest-beating nationalism that accom-
panied and justified this imperial jostling,
war was the truest test of the character of
men and nations.
Australians felt especially keenly their lack
of bloody initiation (the frontier wars with
Aboriginal peoples did not count), given our
penal past. A good showing in battle would
expunge the convict stain and prove us
worthy members of the British race.
Even the radical poet Henry Lawson

NCE out of an important job
it appears to be easy to sound
off at your successors aided by
the reflections of an idyllic past.
Politicians have a fabulous penchant for
this ex- post-facto grandstanding, having
transformed into sages as time obscures or
forgets the errors and vices of their own day.
The latest to weigh into this field of advice
is Victoria's former police commissioner
Kel Glare. who was chief commissioner
from 1987 to 1992. In lines that are sure to
infuriate existing police command he has
said his old police force has "lost the plot"
when it comes to crime prevention. Mr
Glare has said the crime wave sweeping
Victoria wouldn't have happened under his
watch and added the state "hasn't been well
served by for some time" in terms of its chief
commissioners.
The enormous significance of Anzac day in the Australian calendar raises questions
about what it means and what should be allowed in its name.
favoured war as the national midwife over
peaceful federation; “We boast no more of
our bloodless flag, that rose from a nation’s
slime,” Instead, Lawson forewarned: “The
Star of the South shall rise, in the lurid
clouds of war.”
The earliest version of the Anzac legend
reflected the society from which it sprung.
It sought both to distinguish Australians
from Britons and earn their approval. Thus,
the original Anzac legend emphasised the
fighting ability of the Australian soldiers, and
their national distinctiveness.
Unlike the English, we were laconic and
egalitarian. We didn’t stand on ceremonies
like saluting and parading and in battle we
were second to none. None of these compar-
isons with Britain indicated disloyalty to the
“mother country”. One of the tenets of Anzac
commemoration remained our continuing
devotion to King and Empire.
Myths and legends always reflect the
societies in which they exist. So, we have
seen the Anzac legend bend and sway to
accommodate our contemporary concerns
This is a big call 25 years on but maybe
worth deeper investigation. If Mr Glare or
his community advocacy group has the
solutions to some of the more complex
issues besetting regional areas particularly
ice and mental health induced crime as well
as the rash of youth recidivism then they are
certainly worth listening to but the earnest-
ness of a desired outcome can easily obscure
the complexity of its execution.
If his answer is simply to get tough on
crime and “lock them all up’ then it has to
be said the public has heard it all before.
More importantly endeavours to pursue this
strategy both here and overseas have failed
to deliver the result a simplistic panacea
dangles before a frightened public. Our own
prison population in Victoria has doubled in
little over a decade and yet has not reduced
the crime rate. More holistic approaches
with diversity and inclusiveness. Women
and non-Anglo Australians have been
increasingly drawn into the Anzac tent.
As the centenary of the Gallipoli landing
loomed in 2015, it looked as if Anzac was
becoming the kind of commercially driven
carnival that Easter and Christmas have
morphed into. Canny business people knew
a cash cow when they saw one. There were
Gallipoli cruises, camps and concerts. Men’s
magazines and merchandisers peddled An-
zac porn before the Department of Veterans’
Affairs shut them down.
The most notorious of the “Brandzac”
ventures was Woolworths’ “Fresh in our
Memories” campaign — a public relations
disaster for the ages. Leading up to Anzac
Day in 2015, Woolworths encouraged people
to post images of those affected by war.
At the bottom of the images, Woolworths’
picture generator inserted the slogan “Fresh
in Our Memories” and the company’s logo.
The blatant commercial motive drew an
immediate social media backlash, including
a rash of satirical memes.

including comprehensive early intervention
and prevention must be part of a solution.
This talk serves the State Opposition well
in what it sees as weakness in the govern-
ment’s capacity to keep residents safe. But it
is worth reflecting on the difference between
perceptions of safety and the problems
crime statistics highlight. Are we in danger?
The relativity of the answer brings a more so-
bering light to an often emotional argument
and what we can indeed do about it.
Advocacy groups know they have emo-
tion, in particularly fear and a sense of pow-
erlessness, on their side and this lends itself
to the more colourful tabloid language like
“crime tsunami”s. No community should
live in fear but reducing the complex issues
which undermine both the perception and
the reality of this safety to sound bites serves
little purpose in a long term solution.
.
WOOLWORTHS’ blunder was a symptom
of a bigger problem. Perhaps the public
appetite for Anzac had been overestimat-
ed. Amid rumblings about Gallipoli fatigue,
Channels Seven and Nine scaled back their
plans for coverage of the dawn service in
Gallipoli. Lee Kernaghan’s “Spirit of the
Anzacs” arena spectacular was cancelled
due to poor ticket sales. Channel Nine’s
seven-partTV series, Gallipoli — predicted
to be the “biggest show on television”
in 2015 — was a spectacular ratings flop,
despite critical acclaim. Foxtel’s excellent
Deadline Gallipoli, starring Sam Worthing-
ton, also failed to fire.
Anzac commemoration has been noticea-
bly more muted since 2015. Prime Minister
MalcolmTurnbull is less ready than his
predecessorTony Abbott to exalt the An-
zacs and prime the nationalist pump. Like
his son-in-law and former army captain,
James Brown, who criticised our “Anzac
obsession” in his book Anzac’s Long
Shadow,Turnbull prefers to emphasise the
service and well-being of contemporary
military personnel and veterans.
Criticisms of the Anzac excess from
commentators including historian Marilyn
Lake, co-author of What’s Wrong with
Anzac?, and David Stephens at the Honest
History group have arguably helped to
temper the more exuberant rhetoric of
politicians and ambitions of cynical com-
mercial interests. Stephens has recently
co-editedThe Honest History Book, which
argues that: “Australia is more than Anzac
– and always has been.”
While Australians no longer blink an eye at
the rampant commercialisation of Easter
and Christmas, we have drawn the line at
allowing Anzac to be surrendered to the
profit gods. Does this mean that Anzac is
more sacred to Australians than the Chris-
tian traditions of Easter and Christmas?
With its invocations to suffering and sac-
rifice, its quasi-worship of long-deceased
young men and its solemn dawn service
rites, Anzac commemoration shares many
of the elements of conventional religion.
The historian Ken Inglis wondered as long
ago as 1960 whether Anzac functioned as
a secular religion in Australian society. In
2017 , I think we can confidently answer:
yes, it does.

Trooper Pete hangs up
his Sovereign Hill cap
BY JESSICA BLACK
TROOPER Pete has been
22 years on the Bradshaw
Street beat.
The Sovereign Hill troop-
er retired this week after
23-years at Ballarat’s out-
door museum.
Peter Bray came to Bal-
larat as a baby but had been
“in and out” until joining
“the Hill” in 1995.
Mr Bray said he payed his
part to the last.
“I played the role, I played
right to the end, of a really
grumpy sort of police officer.
“It never felt like acting
to me, a lot of the people in
our acting areas in Sovereign
Hill, they said ‘come on we
need you to get into some
acting’ and I said that’s not
me, acting you have to learn
lines, that wasn’t me.
“I was off the cuff, I’d work
with people with what they
were about.”
Since his retirement Mr
Bray said his phone was ring-
ing off the hook.
The former trooper has
boxes of cards from visitors
and friends, including one
from the father of a boy who
was “spellbound” by Mr Bray.
The letter read “his (Mr
Bray’s) ability to interact with
others outstanding … and at
an instant can step out of his
role to be a gentlemen”.
“The boy took a shine
to me and he didn’t want
to leave me, all he wanted
to do was be with me,” Mr
Bray said.
“They couldn’t believe I
had this kid spellbound, the
kids just get so spellbound
with me.”

“Over the last week there
were times when I had to
go outside not only my role
but outside Sovereign Hill
and listen to someone who
had some problems and
needed someone to talk to
and they had the trust in me
enough to put those things
to someone.”
Hanging up his badge and

Bonded in charm, spin and confidence
The fictional Alan Bond
has cash to splash but
he doesn’t know his
Manet from his Monet,
writes Debi Enker.
A
ustralian television is besotted with
biopics. When free-to-air networks
decide to commission “event”
miniseries, the focus will often be on real
people. Perhaps the rationale is that there’s
less of a need to sell the production as the
potential audience is already familiar with,
and, ideally, curious about, the subject.
The local industry isn’t alone in that
thinking. When the global giant National
Geographic decided to invest in its first
original drama series, the subject selected
was Albert Einstein.
Over recent years, there’s been no shortage
of home-grown offerings: Brock, Molly,
Beaconsfield, Hawke, Killing Time, various
Underbelly instalments, Better Man, Deadline
Gallipoli, Carlotta, Schapelle, Underground:
The Julian Assange Story, Catching Milat,
INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, Paper Giants:
The Birth of Cleo, Paper Giants: Magazine
Wars, Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War, Power
Games: The Packer-Murdoch Story, Peter
Allen: Not the Boy Next Door and Hoges: The
Paul Hogan Story.
But biopics can be a tricky proposition
and some are definitely better than others.
A straight chronology of highlights and
lowlights can be plodding and dull, while
sometimes taking dramatic licence and
inserting flourishes to spice up a story results
in cheesiness. But when they work, showing
us something that we didn’t know about the
person and their life and times – with 2015’s
miniseries on Peter Allen a good example –
the results can be compelling.
These screen biographies frequently play
out in flashback, probably so that viewers
Monk’s date with
The Bachelorette
Sophie Monk claims she’s desperate to meet a normal
man and Ten is desperate to avoid another prime-time
flop. Could this be a perfect match? By Karl Quinn.
D
esperate and Dateless: maybe that
should be the new title for Ten’s The
Bachelorette when it goes to air later
this year.
In taking the celebrity route with Sophie
Monk as its dateless dispenser of roses and
affections, the network is desperately trying
to recover from the big losses inflicted by its
weight-loss reality disaster The Biggest Loser
Transformed, the failure of which has blown a
hole in the network’s slow and steady recovery
over the past few years.
BLT, as no one ever called it, launched in
mid-March against Nine’s Married at First
Sight and Seven’s My Kitchen Rules. It was
meant to anchor Ten’s prime-time line-up
across the week, but pulled a dismal audience
of just 450,000 on debut, barely scraping into
the top 20 shows on the day.
Things only got worse from there, as the
show shed viewers faster than its contestants
could cast off the kilos. Audiences dipped
below 300,000, while its commercial rivals
were topping a million – on one occasion the
show was even beaten into fifth place by a
documentary on SBS about great railway
journeys.
Adrienne Pickering and Ben Mingay star in House of Bond.
unfamiliar with the subject get a quick
upfront recap on their significance. That’s
the approach taken by the latest entry to
the genre, Nine’s House of Bond. It arrives
as a kind of companion piece to the House
of Hancock (2015), which saw the network
embroiled in legal action when mining mogul
Gina Rinehart took exception to its portrayal
of her and her family.
Bond also focuses on the trials of a high-
profile, wealthy and controversial WA family
and promises to take us behind the closed
gilded doors of the mansions in a variation
on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Built
around an episodic structure and deftly
directed by Mark Joffe (Spotswood, Jack
Irish), its two parts divide neatly into the
A fortnight after launch, BLT was shunted
off to the bacon, lettuce and tomato slot,
airing at lunchtimes during the week, where it
has sometimes failed even to crack the top 100
programs of the day.
In its Biggest Indignity, The Biggest Loser
Transformed finale will be aired as a special
on an extended edition of the network’s panel
show Studio 10 on Monday, May 1.
Ten will be hoping the new season of
MasterChef can get things back on track,
but it knows from bitter experience that the
impact of one misfiring prime-time show can
be huge and long-lasting.
On some analyses, the ratings rot at Ten
set in with the failure of its big-budget reality
show The Renovators in mid-2011. Only in
the past 12 months or so has it looked to be
regaining significant ground.
But BLT’s failure has once again derailed
the wagon. Last Tuesday, Ten’s highest rating
show was The Project, which came in at
15th with just 490,000 viewers. Advertisers
demand more bang for their buck, and with a
half-yearly financial report due, the network’s
management will be desperate to assure
investors they are on the case.
rise and fall of Alan Bond. The opener sees
a brash young grasper building a real-estate
empire on debt and follows him through to the
historic 1983 victory in the America’s Cup.
After which it’s basically downhill –
ill-advised forays into brewing, media and
mining, the impact of the 1987 market crash
and the wrong-headed assault on Tiny
Rowland’s Lonrho conglomerate. Bond’s
business acumen is based on philosophies
such as “debt equals wealth” and “You don’t
need money: money needs you”. His approach
to life is summed up by the maxim: “Not
everyone gets the keys to the kingdom and if
you do, you need to act like a king.”
Boiled down to basics – marriage, affairs
and business gambles – the screenplay by
Sophie Monk is dishing out roses on
The Bachelorette later this year.
The Bachelorette is one of the key planks
of Ten’s prime-time platform, but there’s an
element of risk that the failure of BLT will
have amplified. Last year’s second season
didn’t rate as well as the first.
thecourier.com.au
Sarah Smith depicts Bond as a self-made
billionaire who invested in valuable paintings
as a status symbol but didn’t know his Manet
from his Monet. The story has the quality of
a Shakespearean tragedy: a central character
driven by ambition, greed and hubris whose
ethos is to keep moving forward, shark-like, to
evade constraint.
Opening with Bond at his cocky peak,
provocatively dancing on the deck of one of his
yachts, the drama quickly establishes him as
an unreliable narrator, displaying a rosy view
of his own actions and a PR man’s gift for spin.
But we can believe him when he says, “People
have said, ‘Be careful what you wish for.’ I never
had that problem: I always wanted more.”
Ben Mingay plays the one-time sign-
writer as a cocky flim-flam man, bubbling
with bluster and bulldust, driven by a go-go
energy and boundless appetite for money
and acquisitions. Much of the drama is built
around a love triangle between him, his earthy
redhead wife, Eileen (Adrienne Pickering),
the mother of his four barely seen children,
and his ethereal blonde mistress, Diana Bliss
(Rachael Taylor). There’s an entertaining
guest appearance from the reliably impressive
Sam Neill as the shrewd Rowland and Gyton
Grantley in a thankless role as money man
Peter Beckwith. The rest of the cast is largely
irrelevant, through no fault of their own.
Though Joffe nimbly manages to get
around it, with clever use of CGI, animation
and archival footage, and often by keeping
the frames tight, House of Bond was clearly
not a production with a lot of cash to splash
around, despite its focus on high-flyers and
a jet-set lifestyle.
But it does capture the flash-and-dazzle of
the era and offers some insight into a singular
and spectacular rise and fall.

Injecting a celebrity element in the form of
Monk, a popular actress-model-singer-radio
host who doesn’t take herself too seriously,
could be a canny move – even if it does look a
bit desperate, on both sides.
Interviewed by Karl Stefanovic on the
Logies red carpet just hours after her role
in season three had been announced, Monk
gave an explanation for her involvement in the
dating show.
“My mum suggested it,” the 37-year-old
said. “She’s like, ‘You should do that if you
can’t meet anyone new in the industry’… and
I was like, ‘No’. And then I went, ‘Actually,
yeah, if I want to meet someone down-to-
earth and normal, that’s how I’d do it’.”
Of course, most mere mortals would not
think a reality dating show was the place
to meet a normal down-to-earth suitor, but
Monk sprang to fame as a 19-year-old on the
reality show Popstars, which cast and created
a girl group, Bardot, from the ground up, so
her notion of normal might not be the same
as yours or mine.
Besides, there’s plenty of abnormal out
there in the normal world too. “At least they
background check them and stuff, so I know it
won’t be my stalkers,” she said of the casting
process for The Bachelorette. “It’s the safest
I can be.”
Of course, Monk is a reality TV veteran,
having also appeared as a judge on the US
dating show The Choice, and winning the 2015
season of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia.
Ten will be desperately hoping this coupling
can last the distance.

Fifty people have put
their lives on hold for a
shot at MasterChef fame,
and for some it’s worth
the risk. By Debi Enker.
P
eople apply for this cooking contest
hoping to change their lives. They want
a job in the food industry – running a
restaurant, training as a chef, developing a
product line, writing a cookbook. They aim to
turn an interest – oh, OK, a passion – into a
primary focus. And, as Channel Ten’s current
promotions emphasise, it’s not an entirely
fanciful aspiration.
Unlike “That Other Cooking Show”, many
MasterChef alumni have done exactly that
and their post-show trajectories shine like
beacons for the latest crop of aspirants.
People like Adam Liaw, Poh Ling Yeow and
Justine Schofield with TV shows; Julie
Goodwin and Hayden Quinn with cookbooks;
Marion Grasby with a food range; Andre
Ursini, Reynold Poernomo and Samira El
Khafir with their restaurants. Corny as it
might sound, for some, MasterChef has
proved a life-changing experience.
But in order to pursue that goal, resolve
must be summoned and sacrifices made.
Those wishing to compete must be prepared
to leave their family and friends, jobs and
homes, maybe for six months, if things go
well. If they do win that apron, they’ll enter
a reality-TV pressure-cooker: living in a
share house with other contestants and in
an environment where all that matters is the
next test and the response that their efforts
elicit from judges Gary Mehigan, George
Calombaris and Matt Preston.
Among those who’ve decided that they’re
up for the challenge is office worker Pia Gava,
a 48-year-old mother-of-two from Victoria.
The fact that she’s making gnocchi in a
gorgonzola sauce indicates that she’s gutsy as
many contestants in seasons past have been
eliminated after producing gnocchi dishes
deemed to be rubbery. But this is a recipe that
she learnt as a child in the family kitchen and

her own modern twists.
It’s her third attempt at MasterChef
selection and she says: “Before I sent off the
application, I sat down with my family. My son
will be in Year 12 and I had say, ‘Look, I might
not be here to support you and I won’t do this
unless you are OK with me not being here.’
They just said, ‘Are you crazy? You’ve helped
us all the time, this is for you.’”
At a neighbouring bench, 19-year-old
Branden Khou is having his second shot
at selection. One of 10 children, he has the

chocolate mousse with raspberry sorbet.

business studies and hopes to open a dessert
bar.

Ungermann wants to be a chef: “No matter
what happens, after this, I want to go into
the food industry. I want to be hands-on,

Keen on Asian cuisine and making
wontons in a spicy Sichuan oil, copywriter
Karlie, 26, from NSW, sees MasterChef as
“a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: it could
open so many doors”. Her aim is to combine
her interests in food and writing, perhaps
as a food critic.
Cooking “since she was old enough to
pick up a frypan”, Karlie says: “You have
to put everything on hold to get on to

You hope that the people you work for
understand why you’re doing this and want

For his part, her boyfriend of nine years
reckons: “Ever since I’ve known her, cooking’s
been her thing.”
He’s preparing himself to be eating a lot
more takeaway food if Karlie earns an apron:
“The cooking standard at home will be going
down,” he says.
In the noisy shed, as pots clatter, pans
fry and blue Band-Aids are applied to
injured fingers, the hopefuls range in age
from teenagers, who’ve applied as soon as
they’re old enough, to parents who’ve always
loved to cook. There’s a nurse, a crane
operator, a lawyer, students, office and retail
workers.
As they wheel the trolleys holding
their carefully conceived dishes into the

hopes are high and dreams have a chance of

Playing god in the era of technology

Ricky Whittle had to learn Shadow met, when she was a casino croupier
and he tried to scam her.

a bit more human.

but I certainly empathise with that feeling

I
t was only when he got to Comic-Con, the
huge American convention for fantasy
and comic enthusiasts, that British actor
Ricky Whittle realised what had happened to
him. Whittle plays Shadow Moon, the central
character in the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s
sprawling novel American Gods. About 2500
people were trying to fit into a room with
Gaiman; Whittle was in his wake. “I didn’t
realise that Neil was such a rock star,” he says.
“This show is going to 200 territories. I didn’t
know there were 200 territories in the world.
It’s become this monster.”
American Gods was published in 2001.
Its central idea is that the multiple waves
of people who went west to America –
adventurers, slaves and poor, huddled
masses – brought their gods with them.
The Viking god Odin, the African Anansi,
the Egyptian Anubis – they’re all still milling
around anonymously. Meanwhile, the hybrid
modern culture has produced its own gods.
Technology and shopping command our
devotion now.
Despite its length, American Gods is a
rattling yarn. Shadow Moon, a former petty
criminal, comes out of prison the same day his
wife is killed in a car accident. His best friend
is also killed; he learns they were lovers.
Devastated and with nowhere to go, Shadow
agrees to take a job with a persistent stranger
– a kind of gangster with the manners of a
music hall maestro (Ian McShane in fine
thespian form) offers him a job. He calls
himself Mr Wednesday. The name is a
giveaway, but Shadow isn’t the kind of
guy who knows the origins of the days of
the week.
Neil Gaiman has lived in the United States
since 1992 but still has the undiluted accent
of the English Home Counties where he
grew up.
What is odd, he says, is that the story seems
more pointedly relevant to Trump’s America
than it did when he wrote it.
“When I wrote the book,” he says, “I did not
think that it would be in any way politically
charged to have a mixed-race hero or to have
characters all the way through of different
ethnic backgrounds and persuasions – or
to do a book that was fundamentally about
immigration. It just seemed to me that this
was my story.”
The story itself has been stretched and
embroidered – the first series only covers
100 pages of the book as writers Bryan Fuller
Ricky Whittle plays Shadow Moon in the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.
and Michael Green have explored its narrative
byways and expanded characters.
Shadow’s wife Laura, despite being
ostensibly dead, is now a major character
of wanting to jump out of your own skin
sometimes, of banging your head against a
wall and not knowing what you want to do
with yourself.”
It is only in death that Laura finds a sense of
purpose, trying to win Shadow back.
“The story is so much about what you
choose to spend your time thinking about and
what you worship.
“It’s ironic that Laura’s essentially
worshipping love, given she doesn’t really
know how to do it.”
And yet that, of course, is what gods are all
about – personifying the mysteries that pass
our limited understanding.
Gaiman says he thinks the most
frightening new god in our time is the
mobile phone. We bend over it submissively
and we offer it our most precious sacrifice –
our time.
The most vital of the New World gods is
Technical Boy, who has also changed in this
current incarnation.
In the book, Technical Boy was an
overweight dark-web troll living in a
basement. Fifteen years on, he’s a bratty
clubber played by another young British
actor, Bruce Langley. Langley has done his
homework, possibly with a chaser of
Kool-Aid: he talks with the zeal of a convert
about the potential of sub-dermal data
implants.
“People’s interpretation of technology
has changed so much in 15 years,” Langley
says. “Now technology is synonymous with
progress, new and cutting edge, change,
fashion, all of these things.”
This is the great leap of American Gods,
of course: what does being a god mean?
Ian McShane says he plays Odin as a
grifter; to try to conjure the supernatural
would be ridiculous.
“The only way is to play him as more
down-to-earth than anyone else,” he says.
“How does a god behave? I don’t know.
I’ve never met one, have you?”
He breaks into a smile.
“Well, you might have done. You never
know. That’s such a clever idea.”

Browning was dubious about playing a wife, American Gods
but found she loved spiky, faithless Laura. WHEN

Facebook.
The “Before” photo was of
Brumfitt trim and toned in a bikini

worked incredibly hard to lose
weight after having a baby.
The “After” photo was a nude
portrait of a serenely smiling
Brumfitt – noticeably heavier but
considerably happier – having
ended her battle with her body and
chosen instead to embrace it for
having grown and nourished her
three children.
As Brumfitt explains in this

our pick free to air
River
Friday, 8.30pm, ABC
British screenwriter Abi Morgan
wrote the films The Iron Lady,
Shame and Suffragette, as well as
the TV series The Hour. So it makes
sense that when she creates her
first cop drama, it’s unlikely to be
a traditional police procedural as
she’s already demonstrated an
inventive approach to storytelling.
Her protagonist, Detective
Inspector John River (Stellan
Skarsgard), is not a conventional
cop. He sees dead people. He
calls them “manifests” rather
than ghosts, and they intrude
frequently into his troubled life.
He also seems to be haunted by a
real-life, 19th-century serial killer,
the Lambeth Poisoner, Dr Thomas
Cream (Eddie Marsan).
Skarsgard (Our Kind of Traitor,
Pirates of the Caribbean, The Girl
With the Dragon Tattoo) plays the
titular hero as a man burdened
by grief and despair. But while
giving her beleaguered hero a
supernatural connection, Morgan
also relies on one of the familiar
tropes of the detective genre, for
River is also an ace investigator
who, perhaps to the surprise of
his colleagues, has an 80 per
cent case clearance rate. Not
only does he see “manifests” –
which Morgan has described as
manifestations of grief – he also
spots inconsistencies and nuggets
of information that others miss.
His colleagues include his
long-time partner, Detective
Sergeant Jackie “Stevie” Stevenson
(the estimable Nicola Walker from
Last Tango in Halifax), newbie
detective sergeant Ira King (Adeel
Akhtar), stern but supportive boss,
DCI Chrissie Read (Lesley Manville),
and Rosa (Georgina Rich), the
police psychiatrist that Read has
coerced him into consulting.
Made for the BBC in 2015, the
six-part series (also available on
Netflix) is built around the spine
of an over-arching investigation
involving Stevie, the only law-
a “fat pig” and worse. But what
affected Brumfitt most were the
heartbreaking emails from women
whose hatred of their own bodies
was ruining their lives.
It was those women who inspired
Brumfitt to establish her Body
Image Movement, and to write,
produce and direct this eye-opening
and uplifting film.
The documentary sees the bubbly,
engaging Brumfitt travelling the
world to looking at the unbearable
pressures that society places on
women to conform to unattainable
standards of beauty – and to meet
women who have found freedom in
rejecting them.
But first Brumfitt explains how
she reached her own lowest point
and changed her perspective.
She had a history of dieting and
being typically critical of her
body, and she’s exceedingly candid
in explaining how the changes
that pregnancy, childbirth and
Nicola Walker, Stellan Skarsgard
and Georgina Rich star in River.
abiding member of an East End
crime family headed by formidable
matriarch Bridie (Sorcha Cusack).
Some episodes also feature self-
contained cases, which allow River
to demonstrate his investigative
skills and develop his relationship
with the sweet-natured King.
It might take a little time to warm
to River and his world, which is a
modern, neon-lit London, shot in
cold greys and blues, and pierced
by splashes of blood-red. He
seems a morose and often isolated
figure, frequently framed alone,
gazing through windows. And his
encounters with the other world,
and particularly with the devilish,
Plato-spouting Cream, can be
disconcerting, abruptly halting the
flow of the drama and sometimes
even appearing to divert it.
But once the groundwork is laid
– and it takes a couple of episodes
– the series settles into its stride
and starts to build in suspense and
psychological complexity, as well
as lending urgency to uncovering
the culprit in the central crime.
At the drama’s heart is River’s
relationship with Stevie. They’re
a classic odd couple, her warmth
and earthiness working in vivid
contrast to his slightly distracted,
sad and remote air. She relishes
’70s dance hits, takeaways and
karaoke – he reads books about
killers and wanders his high-rise
apartment at night, tormented
by sleeplessness. Skarsgard
and Walker are beautifully cast,
playing their roles with relish, and
they’re ably assisted by a strong
supporting cast.

motherhood wrought on it drove
her near to despair. At one point
she resolved to undergo cosmetic
surgery but decided against it for
fear of giving her young daughter a
sense of body shame.
The documentary’s vox pop of
women on an Australian street
underlines how widespread that
shame is – the most common word
they use to describe their bodies is
“disgusting”.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Wednesday, 8.30pm, SBS Viceland
Life can only be understood
backwards and only lived forwards.
It’s a damned nuisance, isn’t
it, so the possibilities created by
an ability to manoeuvre or cross
time planes suggests all sorts of
wondrous realms.
This directorial debut might
not be regarded as a triumph for
Richard Kelly, who is better known
as a screenwriter, but it has plenty
in it to like – especially if this is the
“Director’s Cut” version.
The title character (Jake
Gyllenhaal) is a moody
contemporary version of
Holden Caulfield, somewhere in
smalltown America during the
1980s – perhaps not far from
neighbourhoods where John
Hughes pondered the predictable
cliques and behaviour of teenage
existence through the often
impenetrable lens of paradox.
Donnie’s existence certainly
seems defined by the typical
tropes and expectations that
attend life in suburbia.
But normal American suburbia
is, as everyone knows, a domain
of weird behaviour, created by
spontaneous reactions against
inevitability.
Donnie is partially in the thrall
of internal “voices” – the entities
at the heart of Barbara O’Brien’s
model Stefania Ferrario provide
keen insights into the pernicious
effects of the fashion and publishing

Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko,

seminal book about schizophrenia,
Operators and Things (1950).
And, like James Stewart’s
character Elwood P Dodd in
Harvey (1950), his behaviour is
manipulated by a two-metre-tall
rabbit named Frank.
After one of Frank’s visitations
he finds himself on the roadway
outside his house when a jet
engine falls off an airliner and
crashes into his bedroom.
Just a normal day in the US?
Depends. Civil Aviation
Authorities have no record of a
commercial aircraft losing a motor
– but that’s hardly significant is it?
Perhaps not between 1986 and the
infamous 9/11 event in 2001 when
it appeared the sky was falling.
The stentorian Frank (an entity
channelling Hugh Hefner perhaps)
reveals some of the mechanisms
by which time portals operate and,
consequently, imbues him with an
ability to “see” or fathom the future
from unfolding events.
The kid’s relatively normal lifestyle
is suddenly kaleidoscopic. He can
predict future outcomes from causal
events and his hallucinations are
severe and apocalyptic.
It’s not easy to follow but the
film’s tone is agreeable as it swings
between comedy and horror.

Bill Nye Saves
the World
Netflix
Bill Nye – aka Bill Nye the Science
Guy – is America’s counterpart
to Australia’s Karl Kruszelnicki.
He’s his country’s best-loved
explainer of science, a resolute
voice of reason, and a snazzy
dresser to boot. So the prospect
of Nye getting a series with which
to combat misconceptions about
such vitally important matters
as vaccination and climate change
is terrific.
Sadly, Nye’s crucial first episode
about vaccines and the misguided
fears about vaccination seems
woefully misjudged. The tone
veers between condescending
and hectoring, there are too many
corny gags, too much time wasted
on skits of no educational value,
and – worst of all – what seems
a perverse determination not to
supply the very information most
needed by the people he’s trying
to reach.
It begins with an uninspired
segment in which Nye compares
vaccines to seatbelts and uses a
furry paper shredder to represent
a white blood cell gobbling up
pathogens.
Then reporter Emily Calandrelli
is off to look at the stunning
success of India’s recent polio
vaccination campaign. But the
vaccine-averse parents that Nye is
trying to reach here – mostly white,
university-educated Westerners
– have no personal stake in India.
Their concern is that vaccination
will harm their own children –
typically that it will somehow
cause them to become autistic.
However, the word “autism” isn’t
spoken until more than half-way
through the episode, and only in
one passing, insufficient mention
of the fact that the false link
between vaccination and autism
has been discredited.
It’s the pivotal moment of the
episode – the whole reason it
exists – but Nye and his panel blow
straight past it, not bothering to
lay out exactly how studies of
hundreds of thousands of children
have shown no link between
vaccines and autism, much less
how the vaccine preservative
that anti-vaccinators misguidedly
blamed for causing autism has
long since been withdrawn from
early childhood vaccinations
anyway; nor how many anti-
vaccinators quickly began blaming
other vaccine ingredients for
causing autism instead.
Those are the kinds of facts that
a show like such as Last Week
Tonight with John Oliver would
identify as being most pertinent
and use as the beginning of a
brick-by-brick demolition that
would leave everyone much better
informed. Let’s hope this series
gains that kind of focus.

Thomas steps down as Ardent Leisure CEO
ARDENT Leisure chief ex-
ecutive Deborah Thomas
is stepping down in a sur-
prise move that ends her
tenure of transformation,
six months on from the
tragedy that claimed four
lives at the company’s
Dreamworld theme park.
An announcement from
Ardent on Wednesday
said Ms Thomas had initi-
ated the change of com-
mand, stepping down to
be replaced by former Nine
Entertainment Co chief
operating officer and chief
financial officer Simon
Kelly.
Ms Thomas will become
chief customer officer and
chief operating officer for
Australasia on July 1, over-
seeing the revitalisation of
the troubled Gold Coast
theme park and Ardent’s
other Australian business-
es, WhiteWater World and
AMF bowling centres.
Mr Kelly will guide

BHP Billiton has cut its
full-year copper produc-
tion guidance and outlined
plans to sell some of its US

The mining giant on
Wednesday reported a
44 per cent drop in third
quarter copper production
largely due to industrial ac-
tion at its Escondida joint
venture in northern Chile.

March 31 was down 20 per

and trialling well. Expect a big showing. MR SUNDON (12)
he’s been chasing home some smart types and is amongst the
winning chances. MARGARET RUTH (13) is a quality filly that
was terrific again last start. Sure to run well again. CLARKES
HILL (7) he’s been close up but is still a maiden. Racing well
and must be respected. TENDEN (2) shows good ability and
ran well last start. Place hope. THE SPANYEN (11) won well

felt. EARLY SPEED: 2,3,6

Boxing loses great mentor
BY DANIEL SHORT
BOXING has lost one of its
great characters as Ian Fear
passed away aged 73.
Fear lost his battle with a
vascular disease on Satur-
day morning.
Fear will be remembered
as an impressive boxer, but
even more so for his dedi-
cation to the sport and the
life-changing influence he
had on many young boxers.
After beginning his boxing
career as a 10-year-old at the
Burwood Police Boys’ Club
in Sydney his career ended at
23, producing a stellar record
as both an amateur and pro-
fessional with just 13 losses
from 77 fights as an amateur,
while he had an 11-1 record
as a professional. However,
an eye injury left him blind
in one eye and consequently
cut his career short. But his
contribution to the sport was
far from finished.
Fear, who hails from Aus-
tral, trained many young box-
ers and brought his expertise
to Ballarat 14 years ago.
He set up a gym, Ballarat
Boxing Academy, and con-
tinued his great work with
youths, often boys who were

of his fighters came around
and I said to each of them, I
want you to tell a good mem-
ory of Feary – and then it
started, everyone was laugh-
ing, so many stories.”
“He liked it down here,
he’s met a lot of good people,
a lot of people look up to him.
“He squeezed a lot into
his 73 years. He’s a think-
er, he wasn’t one of those
guys who’d sit down and
watch TV.”
Fear’s service will be held
on May 6 at Gledswood
Homestead and Winery in
Catherine Field, New South
Wales. While Fear has had
a profound impact around
Ballarat, his son said the
service would be held in
Catherine Field where he
opened his first gym and had
so many friends.
Kelly added for those wish-
ing to pay tribute to Fear, but
could not make the service,
could place a mystery bet in
his honour on May 6.
“Grab a mystery bet for
him on the day, he loved
a punt.”

McGuire vows Pies
won’t turn on own
MAGPIES
COLLINGWOOD president
Eddie McGuire has pledged
support to embattled coach
Nathan Buckley and is ada-
mant the embattled club
won’t turn on their own.
Tuesday’s Anzac Day loss
to Essendon was inevitably
a tipping point, with their
failure in the biggest home-
and-away game of the sea-
son leaving the Magpies
floundering at 1-4.
Last August, Buckley ac-
knowledged his coaching
future at Collingwood was
tied to making the finals
this season.
But even though their
biggest losing margin is
only 19 points, their for-
ward line is impotent and
they will need a massive
turnaround to threaten the
top eight.
Again, Buckley put it
best when he said after
Tuesday’s loss that they are
not far off, but they are a
mile off.
Since Buckley took over
from Mick Malthouse in
McGuire’s controversial
succession plan, the Mag-
pies have slid from fourth

Under-fire Eagles suffer injury blows
EAGLES
ALREADY reeling from an-
other embarrassing MCG
capitulation, West Coast
will head into Saturday’s
western derby against Fre-
mantle without several key
players.
The Eagles have con-
firmed tough forward Jamie
Cripps will be sidelined for
two months after injur-
ing his ankle during their
51-point loss to Hawthorn
on Sunday.
Young defender Jack-
son Nelson fractured his
against Gold Coast, but
scans have shown no seri-
ous damage.
“He had a little run
around today and he’s been
getting up to pretty good
speed,” teammate Rory
Sloane told reporters on
Wednesday.
“That is one we will just
assess tomorrow. Obvious-

two seasons, and their last
finals appearance was in
2013.
On Wednesday, McGuire
strongly defended Buckley
and backed him to turn
around the floundering
team’s fortunes.
“Every time I’ve looked
to Nathan Buckley as a
wrist and will miss about a
month, having cemented
his spot in the side this sea-
son.
“Jamie, as we saw, had
a nasty turn of the ankle
very late in the game,” West
Coast football boss Craig
Vosso said.
“Unfortunately it’s a fair-
ly high-degree injury with
that ankle and he’s likely to
miss a period of about eight
weeks.
“Jackson Nelson suffered
a fracture to his wrist in the
course of the game; (he)
played it out really well. But
ly he came off the ground
pretty tight on the week-
end, but we will give him
every chance to play.”
Talia’s inclusion looms
large in Sunday’s Adelaide
Oval encounter given the
hot form of Richmond’s ace
forward Jack Riewoldt.
And the Crows could
also summon their own key
player, as a person, as a
coach, he has never let me
or Collingwood down,”
McGuire said.
“There has been no
greater servant of the
Collingwood Football Club.
“There is no better per-
son to have our club’s fu-
ture in his hands than Na-
it’s pulled up sore, so he’ll
be out for about a four-
week period.”
The Eagles are hope-
ful wingman Andrew Gaff
(ankle) and defender Brad
Sheppard (knee) will be
available despite pulling
up sore after the Hawthorn
game.
But veteran midfielder
Sam Mitchell appears un-
likely to play for a second
straight week as he recovers
from an ankle injury.
Vozzo said Mitchell
would be given a chance
to prove his fitness later in
forward Josh Jenkins, who
is pressing for selection af-
ter missing the past three
matches with a rib injury.
Jenkins, like Talia, will
face a fitness test on Thurs-
day ahead of team selec-
tion as the Crows seek to
continue their unbeaten
season.

whatever is required to the

And McGuire, president
since 1999, said their on-
field woes would not cause
off-field division.
“We will rally together.
Whether we get the results,
time will tell,” McGuire
the week, but coach Adam
Simpson earlier admitted
the 34-year-old’s recovery
was not progressing as well
as the Eagles had hoped.
Mitchell was sorely
missed against his old side
Hawthorn, with the Eagles
smashed in the contests
and seemingly troubled
again by the width of the
ground.

Hip injury

Jack
SWANS
A NAGGING injury has got
the better of Kieren Jack,
with the Sydney co-captain
to be rested from the win-
less Swans for at least one
game.
Jack had an interrupted
pre-season due to a hip in-
jury but has been selected
for each of the Swans’ first
five games.
However his productiv-
ity has been well down on
previous seasons, leading
some pundits to suggest he
should be dropped.
Coach John Longmire
suggested fitness rather
than form was the major
issue for the 2012 premier-
ship player.
“Kieren was one of the
players who had a good
pre-season but got injured
just before he was due to
play in the JLT series – with
a crook hip – and wasn’t
able to get any games un-
der his belt,” Longmire told
Fox Footy’s On the Couch.
“We’ve been playing him
now for five weeks and it’s
not getting better, it’s get-
ting worse, so he needs at
least a couple of weeks off.
“Hopefully some rest
and recovery over the next
few weeks will get him back
into good form and get him
fit and firing for the rest of
the season.”

BACCHUS Marsh is breath-

ruckman Daniel Burton was
cleared of structural damage
to his left knee.
Burton was injured in a
contest against Darley in
the opening round of the
Ballarat Football League at
Darley on Sunday.
Cobras coach Travis
Hodgson said an examina-
tion had given Burton the
all clear.
Hodgson said Burton was
a chance to line up against
Sunday in a grand final re-
match at Maddingley Park
on Saturday, when the Co-
bras will unfurl their first BFL
premiership flag.
He said the club had been
confident Burton had avoid-
ed major damage when its
medical staff allowed him to
play out the game.
Captain Tyson Shea is
unavailable for the round
two fixture, while fellow
premiership players Lachlan
Phyland (hand) and Simon
LaFranchi (hamstring) re-
main on the sidelines.
The Cobras will be keen to
bounce back from a defeat at
the hands of Darley.

there is no shame in being

He said his tactic for
dealing with nerves was to
remind himself the game
was no different to a practice
session back at the club.
“You’ve just got to zone
out,” he said. “Don’t put add-
ed pressure on yourself – as
long as you give it your best
you can’t really complain.”
Mahoney already has his
sights set on going that one
step further next year.
He also hopes to make an-

“That’s a real positive sign.
that was the definite high-

“It’s her first major tri-

learnt that she’s got to work
a lot harder with her swim

was really happy with how
her run went. But just gave

SIGNING
Ballarat basketball star off to Melbourne United

BASKETBALL
BY SIOBHAN CALAFIORE
BALLARAT’S rising bas-
ketball star Sam Short has
signed with Melbourne Unit-
ed for the upcoming Nation-
al Basketball League season.
Short, who has just re-
turned from injury for the
Ballarat Miners in the South
East Australian Basketball
League, becomes the second
Miner in two weeks to be
signed to United’s 12-man
roster following Craig Moller.
“I was really excited (to
find out the news) and am
just looking forward to the
challenge,” Short said.
“I’ve been talking to Craig
about how he goes about it
and just learning little things
from observing.”
Short, who was invited to
train with Melbourne United
last year, said he was excited
by the opportunities for im-
provement in the NBL.
“I’m looking forward to
going up against all those
high calibre guys that are
from European leagues and
NBA,” Short said.
Short is also hoping Mel-
bourne United’s preseason
practice games at the Mars
Minerdome continue so he
can play in front of the crowd
that has supported him
throughout his junior career.
The signing comes after
a break out year for the
19-year-old in 2016.
Short won a gold medal
representing Victoria at the
Under-20 Australian Junior
Championships, played in
the internationally renowned
Under-18 Albert Schweitzer
Tournament in Germany,
won a bronze medal at the
Australian Under-20 Nation-
al Championship and repre-
sented the Australian Emu’s
at the FIBA (International
Basketball Federation) Oce-
ania Under-19 qualification
tournaments.
“It was a very busy year but
it was great,” Short said.
“Representing my state
and my country is something
I’ve always aimed to do and
to be able to do that in the
same year is something I’m
really proud of.”
Miners coach Eric Hayes
said the opportunity was well
deserved and looked for-
ward to helping Short with
his development during the
transition.
“We are very proud of
Sam and his growth and de-
velopment from junior club
basketball through to senior
basketball,” Hayes said.
“Sam has put in so much
work over many years and
made many sacrifices to
achieve at a very high level so
this is testament to his effort
and mental toughness.”
