Support for our carers
BY OLIVIA SHYING
HUNDREDS of families in
Ballarat are being thrust into
the often daunting role of
being a carer, often looking
after children that their fam-
ily members cannot care for.
Kerrie and Garry Mannix
had three children when
they took their young nieces
into their care.
“Initially it was very chal-
lenging – we went through
hell and back,” Ms Man-
nix said.
“We had taken their moth-
er in and treated her like our
daughter but she was even-
tually unable to look after her
own daughters.
“The children were in
foster care and we hunted
around asking family mem-
bers if they would care for the
children. No one put their
hands up – so we did.”
The Mannix’s, who have
cared for the girls since 2011,
were there to support other
kinship carers at a special-
ised Child and Family Ser-
vices forum.
CAFS manager of place-
ment and support Melissa
Riddiford said there were
hundreds of family mem-
bers – either grandparents or
aunts and uncles and other
relatives who found them-
selves a kinship carer.
“It’s so fraught with emo-
tions,” Ms Riddiford said.
“There are challenges
including financial hard-

ship, lifestyle changes – the
practicalities of looking after
an infant.
“This program provides
support as well as linking
carers with other people who
are going through the same
challenge.”
For the Mannix’s, en-
gaging with CAFS was a
game-changer.
“CAFS opened our eye
and linked us to support,” Ms
Mannix said.
“You have no clue (ini-
tially) of what is available or
what you can be linked to.
“You have rights – we have
rights and learn that there is
so much more out there for
you.”
Director of Kinship Carers
Victoria Anne McLeish said
the program was designed to
inform kinship carers of their
rights and support.
“The number of kinship
carers is rapidly growing –
there are hundreds of carers
in Ballarat and this program
is particularly targeted at new
carers,” Ms McLeish said.
Many carers are referred to
the program through DHHS.
The sessions are supporting
all DHHS kinship carers who
have entered the sector in
the last two years. The ses-
sions are funded by DHHS
from the $2.2 million Foster
and Kinship Care Develop-
ment Training, being rolled
out across the state.

University rewards strength, resilience
APOLLINAIRE Irumva has
survived genocide. At 17 he
was a Red Cross volunteer.
The Federation University
biomedical student, who
hopes to become a doctor,
was awarded the Foundation
Continuing Scholarship at
Mount Helen Campus on
Thursday.
The university awarded a
record 54 scholarships this
year.
“My life was really bad, I
survived genocide. I started
being hunted as a survivor
because I was a witness,” the
Rwandan father said.
“Every second is just an
addition to me, to be here.
For the babies, I had to go
back to school to give them a
role model.”
Sandra Cross received
the university’s $7000 Com-
mencement Scholarship for
a Bachelor in Nursing.
The mum-of-three’s
grandfather had always told
her to go into nursing but
instead she rebelled, and left
school at 10.
“I liked helping my grand-
dad so he used to tell me
‘you should be a nurse and
look after people’. He passed
away not long ago and I just
wanted to make him proud,
and I wish he could see this.”

grieve
for girl’s
death
BY DERRICK KRUSCHE
LORETO College is in
mourning after the death of
a 19-year-old former student
from meningococcal disease
on Wednesday night.
The Department of Health
and Human Services con-
firmed the Ballarat woman
died from invasive meningo-
coccal disease.
The Courier has chosen
not to name her for priva-
cy reasons.
A family member, who
did not wish to be identified,
spoke of her warmth towards
many in Ballarat.
“She was one of the kind-
est souls to walk this earth
and didn't deserve this,”
he said.
Loreto College princi-
pal Judith Potter said: “our
school is in mourning”.
The woman was complet-
ing her studies at Australian
Catholic University’s Bal-
larat campus.
A spokesman for the
Department of Health and
Human Services said further
testing was needed to con-
firm the type of meningococ-
cal infection.
“We extend our deepest
sympathies to the family
at this tragic time and are
respecting their privacy,”
he said.
“The department is work-
ing closely with Ballarat Base
Hospital, and is undertaking
all necessary public health
actions, which includes

“We are also working with

versity and local schools to

dents and families.
“The risk to other students
is very low.”
Victoria has had 23 con-
firmed cases of invasive
meningococcal disease so
far this year.
The state government’s
Better Health Channel said
meningococcal infection can
develop very quickly.
“Meningococcal bacteria
are only passed from person
to person by regular close,
prolonged household or in-
timate contact with infected
secretions from the back of
the nose and throat.”
Symptoms of invasive
meningococcal disease in
adults can include a fever,
headaches, loss of appetite
and neck stiffness.

Obligation of
all to prevent
local crime
BY OLIVIA SHYING
A STATE first community
safety forum will set the
standard as to how each
community is informed
of the safest choices they
can make.
Policing proactive unit
Leading Senior Constable
Des Hudson said the aim of
the upcoming Safer Commu-
nities forum was engage the
community with actions they
could take to reduce crime.
“We have seen instances
of theft from motor vehicle
and theft from residential
property – we will have a
number of services and
businesses available that will
be able to showcase various
products that will reduce the
likelihood of people being
targeted,” Leading Senior
Constable Hudson said.
“From a policing perspec-
tive it becomes disappoint-
ing that a number of offences
seems to be linked to the
prevalence of unlocked
cars, people not remov-
ing valuables.
“We don’t expect people
to live in fortresses but they
should take measures to pro-
tect themselves from oppor-
tunistic thieves.”
The event will focus on
safe living and securing
around the vehicle, home
and garage – to reduce high
volume crime and road
safety, within and the com-
munity and further engaging
children to prevent crime.
It will also focus on encour-
aging and empowering the
community to develop crime
prevention strategies around
the home and take a share
responsibility.

thorities will be in attend-

Hudson said while police

community was also vital to
ensuring a solution in terms
of crime reduction.

RSPCA
apply to
forfeit
animals
BY ERIN WILLIAMS
RSPCA Victoria has ex-
pressed concern 67 dogs will
be returned to two Wendou-
ree residents facing numer-
ous animal cruelty charges.
The pair, Fiona McCoy
and Daniel Murphy, were
charged by RSPCA Victoria
earlier this year under the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals Act 1986 with more
than 30 counts of alleged an-
imal cruelty.
They fronted Ballarat Mag-
istrates Court on Thursday
for another mention hearing.
The RSPCA put forward
an application to have the
seized animals, which are
currently in RSPCA’s care,
to be forfeited to them for
rehoming, or for an order
requiring the accused to
pay costs for the animals’
care and maintenance while
the matter continues before
the courts.
In discussing the applica-
tion, RSPCA Victoria prose-

The pair’s defence lawyer
Andrew Madden said his
clients would dispute the
application.
He said the animals were
working dogs with valuable
bloodlines, with one dog
worth $7000, and he was
concerned about appropri-
ate housing for them.
Mr Madden said his cli-
ents were losing income
because most of the dogs
had not been with his clients
since February, while others
were seized last year.
“They are dogs that have FUNDRAISERS: Ballarat Grammar pupils Zaidee, 9, and Addison, 9, at their 'target time' stall during the school's

The application, which

‘If you hit
it, you have
little control’
BY DERRICK KRUSCHE
BALLARAT highway patrol
officers have placed drivers
firmly on notice to watch out
when the temperature drops
for a silent killer: black ice.
The warning comes after
several road deaths have
been linked to the hidden
danger across our region in
recent years.
Ballarat Highway Patrol
Senior Sergeant Pat Cleary
told The Courier it was a
given black ice would form
when temperatures hit be-
low zero heading into winter
this year.
“We ask that people take
care on the roads, particu-
larly in the mornings when
the temperature is colder,”
he said.
“Drive slow and be pre-
pared to lower your speed
when required.”
Black ice is a glaze that
can form on any road when
sub-zero temperatures com-
bine with moisture on the
road surface.
It looks like the normal
surface of the road, but it
freezes clear without any
bubbles, which allows it to
blend in with any surface it
forms over.
VicRoads has advised mo-
torists to avoid driving in icy
conditions and, if one must
drive, to allow plenty of time
to drive slowly.
The road authority said:
“If you hit black ice, you will
have little or no control over
your vehicle”.

Art Gallery of Ballarat will fo-
cus on tackling a long-await-
ed expansion to add more
display and storage space.
Five vacancies on the
board have been filled with
new members.
All five said they were
ready to grow the gallery’s
reach and visitor numbers
and a possible expansion
was key to that strategy.
The new members are
Federation University art
academic Carole Wilson and
deputy vice-chancellor Todd
Walker, Selkirk Brick’s Ron
Selkirk, Ballarat Community
Health’s Jim Rodgers and
Cervuse Equipment’s Laura
Le Marshall.
Board chairman Mark
Harris, who is also a Ballarat
City councillor, said the pos-
sible expansion of the gallery
had been put off for too long
by council and the board.
“It is a beautiful public
art gallery, which we want
to be open to every person
that lives in Ballarat and the
region,” he said.
“We are not elitist, we love
it when its noisy with kids in

it and people are looking at
the art.
“So the redevelopment of
that whole precinct has been
put off too long on the coun-
cil and board agenda.”
Ms Wilson is a teacher at
Federation University’s Arts
Academy, while Mr Selkirk
has also studied fine art at
university.
Mr Selkirk said he was ex-
cited about the possibility of
expanding the gallery.
“I have a background of
arts involvement with a fine
arts degree,” he said.
“I want to focus on tours
and community access to
increase visitation.”
Growing patronage at the
gallery will include targeting
younger age groups,
Ms Le Marshall said the
gallery to widen its appeal to
a broader age group.
“Young people appreciate
art, but the target is 40 years
old plus,” she said.
“No 20-year-olds are us-
ing it.”
Mr Harris said the new
members brought a variety
of experiences and knowl-
edge to the board.
“The bottom line is we
have new board members,
which is fantastic, so all of
the input will be really appre-
ciated,” he said.
“We have academics like
Carol Wilson coming along,
but also people with a variety
of business interests.”
The five new members
take the board’s number
to 11, including chairman
Mr Harris.

The Lost
Ones Bar
opens up
history
AS PART of the revitalisation
of Camp Street culture, a
new bar has opened in the
arts precinct.
Located under the Lost
Ones contemporary art
gallery in a former Masonic
Lodge, the Lost Ones Base-
ment Bar has quite a few
stories of it’s own to tell of the
history of Ballarat, says own-
er and manager Tara Poole.
“This is the first Masonic
Lodge dining hall in Ballarat.
They outgrew it in 40 years;
1870 it was actually built. By
the early 1900s they outgrew
it,” says Ms Poole.
Ms Poole says the State
Electricity Commission
bought the building after
that.
“They purchased the
building as an entertain-
ment venue, a social club, for
their staff. So there's lots of
older Ballarat residents who
still come in here with very
fond memories.”
The Lost Ones Basement
Bar officially opened Thurs-
day night.

Uni protesters crash speech by education minister Mum was
PROTESTERS have dis-
rupted a speech by federal
Education Minister Simon
Birmingham just days after
he unveiled a plan for high-
er university course fees
and a lower income thresh-
old for loan repayments.
“No fees, no cuts, no
corporate universities,”
they chanted as they were
pulled off the stage by se-
curity at the National Press
Club in Canberra on Thurs-
day.
Senator Birmingham
was using the speech to de-
fend scaling back univer-
sity funding and requiring
students to pay back their
course loans sooner. The
minister brushed off the
interruption, describing it
as side entertainment.
“I think there has prob-
ably not been a year in the
last few decades when we
haven’t seen university stu-
dents protesting at some
stage,” he said.
“It is part of the rite of
passage of university stu-
dents nowadays.”

Earlier in Sydney, a small
group of university stu-
dents briefly blocked traffic
outside Malcolm Turnbull’s

About 20 students ini-
tially tried to occupy the
prime minister’s office in
Edgecliff but were stopped
by half-a-dozen NSW po-
lice officers. One student
was dragged off after draw-
ing devil horns on a glass
window in front of a poster

A GROUP of ice users sat

hours during a prolonged
and bloody assault on a
33-year-old mother, a Mel-

A witness to the death
of Melton woman Simone

Court of Victoria on Thurs-

The witness, who can

said Neil wrapped tape
around Ms Quinlan’s head

and ripped it off.
“He told her she was

THE campaign manager
for New Zealand’s National
Party says she raised con-
cerns during the 2014 elec-
tion about using a song
that sounded similar to
Eminem’s Lose Yourself,
but was told it would be
fine.
Jo de Joux told the High
Court in Wellington she
was concerned using the
song Eminem Esque raised
copyright issues for the
party.
Eminem’s music pub-
lishers Eight Mile Style are
suing the conservative po-
litical party for copyright
infringement after it used
the song in TV ads.
Ms De Joux said she
sought and received assur-
ances from music and ad-
vertising experts that using
Eminem Esque would be
acceptable because it was
part of a licensed music
library.
De Joux said she had not
sought legal advice or ap-
proached Eminem’s repre-
sentatives to get approval.
The publishers are seek-
ing a cash settlement.
The defence argued,
while the songs are similar,
they aren’t the same.

Poll pressure forces
Turnbull to move
T
HERE is no doubt that our PM,
Malcolm Turnbull, has become, in
recent weeks, an activist, somewhat
desperate to reposition himself in
the eyes of the electorate.
He has launched a wave of initiatives – the
jingoistic revamp of 457 visas, the jingoistic
revamp of requirements for Australian citi-
zenship, an Anzac Day visit to our troops in
Iraq and Afghanistan, new funding arrange-
ments for schools and universities, and now
off to meet with Donald Trump.
The ‘commentariat’ have been left in his
wake to attempt to interpret what all this
means, and how he is positioning himself
within and beyond the Liberal Party.
Perhaps it means little beyond the fact
that he is ‘wallowing’, with delight, in simply
being PM. Or, perhaps, he has been paying
out, in part to his ‘right wing’ colleagues,
while attempting to negate some of Han-
son’s appeal, and in part attempting to
recover some lost ground against, if not
‘wedge’, the ALP opposition.
Probably, all of the above! There is no
doubt that Malcolm is enjoying being prime
minister and so, to a significant extent, he
doesn’t concern himself with the ins and
outs of daily politics, and media comments.

Yet, he has the reality of real pressure from
Abbott, the Nats, and other conservatives in,
and beyond, his government, and the im-
pact that Shorten has had on key ‘bread and
butter’ issues such as health and education.
He is also well behind in most polls, and
has had to endure the most significant and
rapid decline in personal poll standing
in recorded history. He has clearly fallen
well short of the enormous expectations
that accompanied him when he took the
leadership from Abbott.
So, is Malcolm working to achieve some
sort of ‘clever’ political Lazarus strategy,
or is he simply creating much colour and
movement to distract?
Much has been written about the policy
positions Malcolm has taken in the past, on
issues such as climate, gay marriage, tax,
and so on.
While these past positions were funda-
mental to the expectations that accom-
panied his ascension to the leadership,
significant doubt now exists as to whether
Malcolm has ever really had a defined policy
agenda, that actually motivated him to
regain the leadership.
Or, was it simply just to be the Leader? In
these terms, it is perhaps futile to attempt

to interpret the recent spate of initiatives
beyond Malcolm bouncing from one to the
next for a multiplicity of reasons, but none
more important than simply him ‘being
there’, as PM.
Of course, in politics, you can only duck
and weave, and ‘spin’ issues, for so long. A
final day of reckoning will ultimately come.
While its significance has been down-
played by Malcolm, next Tuesday’s budget
could be a bell-weather for Malcolm.
All the budget rhetoric, all the positive
and exaggerated claims about the ‘strength’
of our economy, about our ‘exciting time to
be an Australian’, all in a most difficult and
unpredictable global environment, could
and should be laid bare, and responsibility
for neglect and drift shoved home to roost.
You may recall that Julia Gillard attempted
to redefine herself as ‘the Real Julia’. Mal-
colm is not in such a game. He leaves it up to
us, the voters, to define him.
Voters have been doing this, and it is why
his popularity ratings have slumped so far,
and so fast. If next week’s budget doesn’t
‘hit the spot’, the electoral ‘tagging’ could be
terminal for Malcolm.

EDITORIAL
Big future for the CBD centred around jobs
T
HE State Government has moved
swiftly to ensure its big jobs pitch
for the regions is not diluted this
week. The plan is to turn the heart
of the CBD into a major government services
hub to employ 1000 public servants, 600 of
which will be new Ballarat jobs.
The bigger picture here is genuinely
exciting for the CBD. As The Courier has said
ad-infinitum since the idea first emerged in
2014; this is a boon not only for a vast wasted
space bordered by Mair and Armstrong
Streets but has the potential to completely
revitalise whole CBD blocks with the
incoming workers. These workers wil serve
up to eight state departments some of whom
already have branches in the city. The bigger
plan here is to make an integrated govern-
ment services hub that serves the whole re-
gion if not the state. The focus on technology
and innovation in the specialisation of the
hub then has further benefits in establishing
a pool of expertise and a reputation for the
city. The idea has considerable weight in a
country looking to decentralise.
Importantly at the same time, the plan
will accommodate and work alongside the
current strategy for the site Ballarat council
has developed. This means the main Civic
Hall stays and the plans for a library expan-
sion can also be accommodated. Utilising
the library’s success gives the precinct a
demonstrable community benefit, one
where council already has the runs on the
board. It also means at least the landscaping
work done on the Doveton Street side can
continue uninterrupted. In doing this the
State Government has judiciously decided
this revitalisation will take place in conjunc-
tion with councils plans and sidestepped the
atrophying controversy that has shrouded
the Civic Hall for a decade and a half. But the
State Government has also brought the crit-
ically important viability back to the block.
The services hub means function; which
hopefully will be indispensable not only to
Ballarat but all of Victoria. From this flows
the commercial benefits for the whole CBD
and that is key to any lasting success. The
Government has also included about 350
car spaces in the overall plan to ensure the
vexing car parking issue does not become
the loudest clamour of a city that too often
wants country-town parking. While this is
well short of the 1000 employees who may
use the building it also points the way to a
different approach to how people travel and
park in Ballarat.
Whichever way you look at the plan it is
an epochal moment for our CBD.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS

HIDDEN TREASURES
I write regarding the performance of the
Singers of the Black Book in Melbourne last
Sunday, and at the Art Gallery of Ballarat
a week earlier. Both large audiences were
deeply impressed by the quality of the
performances and, in Melbourne, there was
genuine surprise that one of the nation's
very few groups specialising in the chants
and songs of the Ancients was to be found
in Ballarat; truly a hidden treasure. Gordon
Morrison, Peter Freund, Garth Horsfield and
Daniel Lamech are to be congratulated on
their achievement.
Mark Hill, Manager, Early Arts Guild of
Victoria.
ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR?
Do you think we should still sing these
words as our national anthem? Around the
world, we are held in scorn and derision, as
you and your politicians plot and scheme.
You want our asylum seekers forgotten and
out of mind, so you have put them on Manus
Island and Nauru where you can hide all
your misdeeds. Many Australians want to
love our neighbours as ourselves. Prime
Minister, you are not innocent of the ex-
ploitation of the minds and bodies of these
forsaken people. It is in your hands to seek
pardon for your actions and deliver these
people from their persecution, by settling
them in Australia immediately.
Diane Collacott, Ballarat.
TIME TO TALK
Regarding the current situation with
North Korea, we hear it mentioned almost
daily that, "all options are on the table",
usually implied as meaning sanctions
or military-type options. Now here is a
thought that I have not yet seen suggested
by anyone on the American side, and I
think merits consideration at least. Why not
do as President Eisenhower did in 1959 at
the height of the cold war with Russia? He
invited Premier Khrushchev to visit America
to experience the culture and the friendli-
The advent of a catastrophically destructive war between the United States and North
Korea has prompted some readers to advocate for more diplomatic solutions.
ness of the American people. At the time,
there was much sabre-rattling and threats of
nuclear Armageddon, and although the visit
was not without incident, history records
it as leading to some easing of tensions
between the two countries. I believe Kim
Jong Un, despite his bellicose speeches
and threats, would love to visit the USA.
Apparently he did some early-age schooling
in Switzerland and has travelled to China.
All he would know about the western world
would be through tv and watching movies.
He needs to broaden his horizons. It should
not be seen as a sign of weakness on the part
of America to invite Kim for a visit; rather
a sign of strength and great statesmanship,
and what is there to lose? Kim knows very
well who carries the biggest stick! If Kim
Jong Un could be assured of his security,
and that he would be met and treated with
civility, not insulted or belittled, but treated
with the respect he would feel he deserves
as a head of state, and above all, not be put
in situations where he would 'lose face', then
such an arranged visit could possibly have
some beneficial results. In the case of Nikita
Khrushchev's visit in 1959, one thing that
upset him greatly was that he could not visit
Disneyland because of his minder's security
concerns. I would think that in the case of
a visit by Kim, this would have to be a must
on his agenda and might even be seens as a
highlight of his tip.
But, in all seriousness, to put forward the
invitation to kim, even if rejected, would
show the world that whatever happens after-
ward, the American leadership had truly put
all options on the table and could act with
an easier conscience, considering what the
consequences could be for other countries
and peoples in the area. I have written
to the White House asking if a Kim visit/
meeting has been considered, but do not
expect the courtesy of a reply anytime soon.
Since writing this letter, in the last couple of
days, I have seen that President Trump has
indicated he would "be honoured" to meet
the North Korean leader which is a step in
the right direction.
Dale Collins, Alfredton
A BETTER KPI FOR LEADERS
What a very different Australia we would
have if the success of a prime minister was
measured by the drop in the gap between
the income of the top 10 per cent and
the bottom 10per cent during their term
in office.
Currently our policies are dictated by the
needs of the rich.
There is no chance that negative gearing,
for example, could ever be abolished or
modified as this would not only reduce
the wealth of most sitting MPs but, equally
importantly, their friends as well. Mean-
while we live in a country in which the rich
(the money addicts) get richer and the poor
miss out on the opportunity to actually
achieve, rather than just survive.
An increase in university fees is testimony
to this. It won't affect the wealthy as they
can afford to pay for their kids, and as for
themselves they are already educated in
their chosen field.
Making more money, a skill not taught in
universities, is their concern, not lifelong
learning and keeping up with the knowl-
edge revolution, skills which would help
them to govern more equitably.
Audrey Guy
MIXED MESSAGES
In the morning our Prime Minister, at his
most oratorical, tells us that budget repair
is essential to avoid passing "a mountain
of debt onto the shoulders of our children
and grandchildren", but, by sundown, we
learn that there are exceptions; that it is
OK for the children and grandchildren who
want a university education to shoulder a
mountain of debt.
Why are politicians involved in setting
course fees anyway? Do the armies of
government and university bureaucrats
who now micro-manage universities, and
consume at least one-third of the budget,
serve any useful purpose? Why are the
top university bureaucrats in Australia
paid three times as much as their Cana-
dian counterparts? Are they incapable of
balancing budgets?

NATURE NOTES
BY ROGER THOMAS
WITH the firewood season
here, many people are notic-
ing insects, spiders and other
creatures within their wood,
or hiding under its bark.
The range of creatures is
quite varied, with some of
the grubs seemingly without
any legs, other insects with
six legs, spiders with eight,
and centipede-like creatures
of 50 or more.
A larger and more prom-
inent one is the longicorn
beetle. The adult lives under
the bark or somewhere on
the trunk, but its grub is a
wood borer, often tunnelling
deep into the wood.
Longicorn beetles – some-
times called longhorn bee-
tles – are notable for their
extremely long antennae. In
some males, they might be
twice as long as the body.
Those of females are of-
ten shorter. Males of some
species have distinct barbs
on theirs.
They are rather slow-mov-
ing beetles, relying more on
their camouflage than their
speed to avoid predators.
Longicorn grubs usually
attack trees that are already
under stress; healthy trees
are not usually touched.
Eucalypts, wattles and
others are chosen. These
grubs are cream with reddish
mouthparts and no obvious
legs. They can be a pest in
sawn timber.
The beetle pictured was
found among the recently
sawn wood of a seemingly
healthy eucalypt that had to
be removed.
There were oval tunnels in
the heartwood at the base of
the tree, presumably those of
a longicorn grub.
Longicorn grubs pupate
inside the wood and emerge
by chewing their way out,
leaving an oval exit hole. The
beetles may feed on pollen,
leaves or bark, depending on
their species.
Unlike adults of insects
such as cicadas, butterflies,
dragonflies and bees, lon-
gicorn beetles live for some
time – more than just a
few weeks.
The beetles can fly quite
well, but they do so mostly
at dusk or night, so sightings
are uncommon.
ROBINS RETURN
A regular winter visitor to
open country around Bal-
larat is the flame robin.
The male has a vivid or-
ange-red breast, while the
female is rather plain light
brown, with a couple of
cream lines in the wing.
The first flame robins are
usually seen at about the
time of the first cold autumn
nights. The first sighting for
many observers this year
was at the Yarrowee River,
upstream of Brown Hill, on
Sunday. This attractive male
was found during a bird-ob-
serving walk organised by
the Leigh Catchment Group.
It was one of more than 20
species noted by the group.
Another interesting bird
found was the varied sittella.
Several rainbow lorikeets
were seen, as well as a yel-
low robin.
– large, wasp-like native in-
sects. While the caterpillars
are seen fairly often, the
adults are not well known.
The caterpillars are often
called “spitfires” because
they ooze a mustard liquid
from their mouths when
disturbed. They do not ac-
tually spit. This liquid often
smells of eucalyptus, and the
caterpillars are not normally
eaten by birds. Their congre-
gating habit helps protect
them during the day. At night
they separate to feed on
gumleaves, coming together
to cluster again before dawn.

Fish, spare

tribal fans
BY JESSICA BLACK
MICK Thomas has dodged
shrapnel and fish and front-
ed Midnight Oil fans who
couldn’t give a toss about the
support act.
Ticket In Tatts was struck
off the song list for years after
audiences began to throw
fistfuls of 10 cent pieces on
stage during the chorus, 'I'm
10 cents short of a dollar' and
damaged their guitars.

ties Anything frontman will
play Suttons House of Music
on Saturday, May 20.
“The crowd felt very much
a part of what we did and it
was lovely up the point but
there was a point where it
was kind of dangerous.
“People would throw stuff
that the song referred to and
it would become a competi-
tion to throw the new thing.
“One night they threw fish
because there was a song
that mentioned fish. People

“We had to retire some

who had a particularly ex-
pensive violin, used to run
and hide.”
Opening for The Oils was
“one of the scariest things
you could do”, Thomas said.
“It was threatening, their
crowds were so full on. Gar-

RBA’s key concern household spending MARKET

spending.

IN BRIEF
FAIRFAX REVENUE DOWN
6% SINCE CHRISTMAS
STRUGGLING Fairfax
Media’s news operations
are continuing to bleed
with revenue falling 11
per cent since Christmas.
The diversified media
company said total group
revenue also fell, by 6 per
cent, in the 17 weeks to
April 23 compared to
the prior corresponding
period.
Fairfax on Thursday said
revenue was down 11 per
cent for both its Metro
Media and its Australian
Community Media.
CEO Greg Hywood said
the company’s news
operations were in the
midst of a transition to
a more sustainable and
digitally focused model.
Meanwhile, the
only Fairfax units to
significantly raise
revenue were real
estate listing business
Domain, which jumped
10 per cent, and its total
digital businesses where
revenue leapt 18 per cent.
RIO TINTO EXPECTS TO SEE
FURTHER GROWTH IN ASIA
MINING giant RioTinto
expects further growth
in Asia due to China’s
One Belt One Road
initiative that is
expected to result in
heavy infrastructure
investments in the region.
“We see further growth
in Asia on the back of
the One Belt One Road
initiative,” chief executive
Jean Sebastien Jacques
said at the company’s
annual general meeting
onThursday.
China is the biggest
market for RioTinto’s
commodities, with Asia
accounting for about
70 per cent of its sales,
but demand for its iron
ore has been expected
to taper as China’s steel
production plateaus.
The steel-making
ingredient nearly doubled
in value during 2016,
but analysts widely
expect prices to return
to lower levels over the
next 12-18 months.
‘GOVERNMENT TO BLAME’
FOR GAS SUPPLY PROBLEM
OIL and gas producer
Santos says governments
are to blame for east coast
gas supply problems.
Prime Minister Malcolm
Turnbull recently
announced measures
allowing the federal
government to restrict
the export of liquefied
natural gas (LNG) to
protect domestic supply.
Santos chief executive
Kevin Gallagher says
a reliable domestic
gas supply is essential
for households and
businesses, but a
successful LNG export
industry is also important.
“The current domestic
supply issue is not
the fault of the LNG
projects at Gladstone,”
Mr Gallagher said. “It is
the result of a complete
failure of regulation in
the wholesale gas market
and actions by state and
territory governments to
ban or restrict exploration
and production.”

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20)

exaggerated during Friday
evening but don’t seem to
cause too many problems.
You seem to enjoy the
contact you share with

to misunderstandings
in partnerships and
marriages. Perhaps plans
for shared activities come
apart at the seam as a
result of these events.

BALLARAT HARRIERS
KIRK’S RESERVOIR RUN 29/04/2017
Ballarat Harriers Come and Try Day last Saturday at Kirks
Reservoir was very well attended, with a short and scenic, but
challenging course giving all a good workout. First time runner
Mark Steegstra showed off his recent half marathon form, and
got under the handicapper’s guard, finishing three and a half
minutes ahead of Riley Cocks and Maddy Seebeck. After that
the runners came in thick and fast, with Riley Schilz the first
registered runner across the line, ahead of Natalie Shea and
Corinna Preston. Paul Burge and Liam Hanrahan were fastest
males on the day, with Rachel Gibney and Natalie Shea heading
the women’s list.
In the junior events Sienna Morton and Sam Hansen were first
ones home.

Greater Western Sydney

is concerned about the
mounting tally of long-term
injuries on the Giants list.

Coniglio has recovered
from an ankle injury, while
co-captain and key defend-

after missing one match
with a sore hamstring.
Most of the other injured
Giants are set to miss even
bigger chunks of football
than Coniglio did.

Brett Deledio still hasn’t

This week, in-form key
back Nick Haynes joined
the ranks of the long-term
casualties, ruled out for up
to 10 weeks with a ham-
string problem.
Richardson was pleased
with how his forwards
had performed against
the Hawks and that
includes key forward
Josh Bruce, who
missed the easiest of
goals and has endured
merciless ribbing
this week from his
teammates.
“Paddy obviously is
a tall forward, a power
forward – I’m pretty
happy with the way
the boys are going in
that space,” Richardson
said.
The Tigers’ winning start
to the season came to an
abrupt halt in round six
when they ran headlong
into the Adelaide jugger-
naut and were trounced by
76 points, despite holding
the lead at quarter-time.
Beveridge was expecting
a fierce response at Etihad

“It’s like you get one and
lose one, so it’s disappoint-
ing with Haynesy being out
for 10 weeks.
“They are really long-
term injuries.”
He said Coniglio would
get his normal ration of
minutes on Friday despite
not being brought back
through the reserves.
“We gave him an extra
week, we needed to be-
cause this game is pretty
brutal as we know, and so
he needs to be able to get
through four quarters,”
Cameron said.
Haynes’s misfortune
opened the door for young
defender Harry Himmel-
berg to play his first sen-
ior game of the season on
Friday.
Cameron said he hadn’t
spoken again to Toby
Green about controlling
his aggression after the
feisty forward’s two-match
suspension earlier this
week.
“We’ve moved on pretty
quickly,” Cameron said.
WEST Coast coach Adam
Simpson has said it’s
touch and go whether
star ruckman Nic Naitanui
will return to the AFL this
season.
Naitanui hasn’t played
since tearing the anterior
cruciate ligament in
his left knee during
the round 23 win over
Hawthorn last year.
The 27-year-old is
holding out hope he can
play in the latter stages of
this season, but Simpson
hinted it might only be an
outside chance.

AFL boss
Lethlean
backs rule
changes
RULES OF THE GAME
PLAYERS are nervous
about conceding a free kick
when the ball goes out of
bounds and for the AFL, that
is mission accomplished.
As debate rages about
the deliberate out of bounds
and no third-man-up rule
changes this season, the
league’s laws of the game
committee met on Thursday
for the first time this season.
New AFL football opera-
tions manager Simon Leth-
lean said while there had
been some errors, overall
he was happy with how the
two new contentious provi-
sions were going.
But coaches continued
to express concern about
rule changes, with West
Coast’s Adam Simpson say-
ing the league might have
acted too quickly.
“We’ve probably just
gone in a bit arse-end really
how we’ve gone about it,”
he said.
Lethlean insisted the
new rules were the result of
extensive research.
“If you ask the players
now, when they kick the
ball towards the boundary
and it goes over, they will
be questioning themselves
… I’m OK with that situa-
tion,” Lethlean said.
He also stressed it was
the AFL Commission, not
the laws committee, that
authorised changes to the
game’s rules.
The new provisions are
certain to stay in place for
the remainder of the season.
“We acknowledged (it)
had some teething prob-
lems in the first few rounds
– the umpiring on that has
become clearer,” Lethlean
said of the crackdown on
third men up at ruck duels.
“He’s slightly turned
the corner the last week
or two. I’m seeing him
around the club and out
on the track a lot more,”
Simpson said.
“The stability to the
knee is looking really
good. It’s still going to be
touch and go this season,
but I think there’s still
hope there.
“I’d say in the next four
to six weeks there’s going
to be a direction with it.
“As long as there’s a
faint hope, I think we’ll
keep going for it.”

SHAKE UP
BY TIM O'CONNOR
D L
UNNSTOWN
coach Justin
Abrams has made
mass changes to
the side that was thrashed
at the hands of Ballan
last weekend.
Abrams said his boys
didn’t fire a shot in the loss
to the Blues, which leaves
the Towners winless and at
the foot of the league ladder.
It has been a tough
beginning to the year for
Dunnstown, which has
already met 2016 finalists
Bungaree, Gordon and
Buninyong and comes up
against reigning back-to-
back premiers Springbank
this weekend. After that,
consecutive battles against
Beaufort, Hepburn and
Waubra await.

BALLAN V
BEAUFORT
at Ballan, Saturday, 2.30pm
Last time: Beaufort 9.13 (67) d
Ballan 5.5 (35), round 15, 2016
Ballan: The Blues opened their
account with an impressive win
over Dunnstown last weekend,
but now face a huge task against
one of the in-form teams of the
competition.
Backman Dylan Galea and tall
Zachary Boland missed the victory
against the Towners, but are
among the inclusions to the side
this weekend.
Beaufort: The unbeaten Crows
are set to be without recruit Sam
Howard for the trip to Ballan.
Howard was part of the Beaufort
side that beat Buninyong by 38
points last weekend.

GORDON ON THE BACK FOOT EARLY IN 2017
HUGE GAME
BY TIM O'CONNOR
W
E’RE just four
rounds into
the Central
Highlands
Football League season,
but already one of the main
premiership fancies are
battling to remain in top four
contention.
Gordon has dropped
its past two matches and
faces another big test in
the unbeaten Waubta
this Saturday.
Since the top eight system
has been used in the CHFL,
between 13 and 14 wins
from the 17 rounds has been
required to secure a double
chance in finals.
The Eagles will slip to 2-3
with defeat this weekend.
Gordon coach Gary
Learmonth admits it hasn’t
been the ideal start to the
unavailable players this
weekend – including
onballers Aaron Sawers and
Tom Botter and forward Joe
Stefani – among seven se-
lected changes to the team.
“We had a performance
last week where there was
no effort so we are going
to bring guys in that we
think will give us effort,”
Abrams said.
Dunnstown will wear
a special blue and black
jumper on Saturday against
the Tigers for the annual
clash that raises money for
beyondblue.
Springbank’s selected side
includes two changes to the
one that beat Clunes last
round, with Flynn Donegan
and Jesse Galea the inclu-
sions this weekend.
That pair is set to replace
Ben Mundy and Rob-
bie Lockett.
BUNGAREE V
R’WOOD-C’HAP
at Bungaree, Saturday, 2.30pm
Last time: Bungaree 22.10 (142)
d Rokewood-Corindhap 3.2 (20),

Bungaree: Injuries have hit hard
at Bungaree, with forward Luke
Mirtschin and backman Matt
Harrington out with respective
broken hands and key big man
Shaun Finlayson sidelined with a
serious knee injury.
The Demons, which get back
coach Heath Pyke this weekend,
are coming off a loss to Waubra.
Roke-Corin: The Grasshoppers
welcome back speedy winger/
forward Jayden Hayes from
illness for the trip to Bungaree.
Hayes returns to a team that lost
to Daylesford by 28 points last
Saturday.
Prediction: BUNGAREE
campaign and that a loss
on the weekend will make
it tough for his side to reach
the top four at season’s end.
Many onlookers will
see this clash as a defining
one for Waubra, which
is unbeaten after games
against Learmonth, Newlyn,
Daylesford and Bungaree.
But Roos coach Grant
Luscombe doesn’t see it the
same way.
“I think because we are so
young that every game is a
learning curve and another
opportunity to gel and
improve,” he said.
Premiership player Paul
Dodds has been named to
play his first senior game
of 2017 on Saturday, while
Lachlan Simpson is out due
to an ankle injury.
Assistant coach Malcom
Niblett is also another week
away after hurting his groin.

HEPBURN
at Buninyong, Saturday, 2.30pm

Buninyong: After debuting
for the Bombers in the loss to
Beaufort last Saturday, Hayden
Walters returns to the North
Ballarat Roosters this weekend.
Onballer Sam Turner is also out
with a shoulder injury, while
swingman Adam Scott is among
the ins after getting over an
Achilles issue.
Hepburn: The Burras clinched a
vital win for its top four chances
with a two-point triumph against
Gordon last weekend. And coming
back for the trip to Buninyong will
be utility Aron Burns, who missed
against the Eagles.
Prediction: BUNINYONG
FIRST GAME: Paul Dodds has got the call-up after playing
in the reserves last weekend against Bungaree.
LEARMONTH OUT TO CAPITALISE ON A...
KIND DRAW
BY TIM O'CONNOR
EARMONTH looks
set to consolidate its
place inside the top
eight when it meets
another lowly opponent
in the early part of its
2017 campaign.
The Lakies host Carng-
ham-Linton on Saturday,
a team that has registered
just one victory from its past
20 outings.
After a round one loss
to Waubra, Learmonth has
beaten Rokewood-Corind-

to find its place in fourth
spot on the ladder.

against the Saints and

Daylesford: The Bulldogs got the
better of Rokewood-Corindhap
last weekend to square the
win-loss ledger at 2-2.
And the team gets back Ken
Cummings, who has missed
the past two games through
suspension.
Skipton: The Emus are set to
blood some under-18 players
against the Bulldogs, with the
junior side having the bye this
round.
There is also a host of key players
unavailable for the battling
visitors, including Adam Romey
and Sam Lehmann.

*THE VERDICT*
Redan could so easily have
been unbeaten and outside
Darley has been as impres-
sive as anyone to date.
There is an awfully long way
to go, but the Lions arguably
look better right now than
they did at any stage last
year, and that includes an
elimination final win over
North Ballarat City.
The test will be maintaining
it, but right now is all that
matters, and Redan is up
and about.
City will undoubtedly hit back
hard from the disappointment
of losing to Ballarat, and
line up much fresher after a
seven-day break.
The key to Redan is its de-
fensive pressure and if it can
shut down the likes of Will
Young and Derrick Micallef,
as the Swans did, the Lions
can finish on top.
PREDICTION: Redan
HE Ballarat Foot-
ball League season
is only new with
just two full rounds
having been played.
In most cases a loss at this
early stage is not going to
severely hurt a campaign.
At the same time though,
there is nothing liking get-
ting wins on the board early
to provide momentum.
So ask North Ballarat
City coach Jordyn Burke
and his Redan counterpart
Brendan Peace whether they
would prefer to go to the
inter-league break with a 2-1
or 1-2 record and the answer
is a no- brainer.
Each is desperate is
bring up a second win
in their clash at Eureka
Stadium on Saturday, which
should guarantee a high
octane contest.
It shapes as a battle
between North’s attacking
mindset and Redan’s blan-
ket defensive pressure.
Peace, who has again put
his return after a year-
long lay-off with a knee
reconstruction on hold,
said developing a defensive
mindset had been a focus for
the Lions.
It worked against Lake
Wendouree, even though
Redan did not get the points,
and took East Point away
from the game it wanted
to play.
North Ballarat City is
loaded in attack with Will
Young and Derrick Micallef,
who showed their potency
against Melton South first-
up.
While Ballarat nullified
them, it is hard to imagine
both being quiet again, es-

break with your nose
in front.
He is looking forward
to going into this match a
little fresher.
He said North had a
resilient group which just
wanted to get on with the job
at hand coming off a loss.
Redan has regained
forward Nick Willox after
missing with a corked leg
and called up recruit Tom
Morrish from Ouyen United,
while North Ballarat City
loses Sam Bromley-Lynch
(knee) for a few weeks and
Daniel Kilpatrick (tooth)
from an extended squad.
Two full rounds down and a
quick glance of the ladder
really does not tell us too
much yet.
This is largely down to the
fixture's seeding, with most
of the teams expected to
finish in the top half having
largely faced each other.
The Ballarat Swans have
provided the biggest surprise
so far with a win over North
Ballarat City.
Melton is unquestionably
the team under the most
pressure, being without a
win after three games in a
season the Bloods had high
hopes for.
They haven't had the easier
of draws, but they have had
winnable games and not
yet delivered.

LAST TIME: round 9, 2016 - Melton 13.9 (87) d
Ballarat 10.12 (72)
BALLARAT (4th): the Swans will be on a high after
beating North Ballarat City, but now that they have
set the bar this high the pressure is on to maintain it.
Ballarat runs into an out-of-form Melton and has a big
opportunity to go to the inter-league break unbeaten.
The Swans will be without young ruckman Bailey Van
Der Heuvel (unavailable), which will put more pressure
on the likes of Marcus Powling and Tom Conroy.
MELTON (11th): a crucial game for the Bloods, which
is feeling the pain of a winless run. Coach Brad Murphy
has made his players well aware that finals are likely
to be out of reach if this stretches to 0-4. Missing
skipper Jake Gleeson (concussion) does not make it any
easier, but the Bloods do get back Ryan Walker, and
Dyson Stevens (Northern Blues) and Brock Kennedy
(Werribee) back from the VFL. Murphy said Melton had
a good record at Alfredton.
PREDICTION: BALLARAT
LAST TIME: round 14, 2016 - Sebastopol 14.10 (94) d
Melton South 2.8 (20)
SEBASTOPOL (9th): gun forward Michael Powell
makes a return after an interrupted pre-season owing
to nose surgery and will provide a target for a team
featuring a wealth of youth. Unfortunately the Burra
is missing leading lights Brett Goodes (calf) and Jack
McNab (broken leg) for the first game on its new home
surface. Sebastopol defeated the Panthers twice last
year, but South is a different proposition this time.
MELTON SOUTH (1st): the Panthers venture away
from their home ground for the first time, and the
bigger ground will offer a new challenge. There is
debate as to whether Melton South will be better
in more open spaces, particularly with its forward
structure focused on Brendan Fevola, or be found
wanting for raw pace. This game against a young
combination taking small steps at a time is probably
not going to answer this query.
PREDICTION: MELTON SOUTH
LAST TIME: elimination final, 2016 - Sunbury 12.11
(83) d Darley 7.11 (53)
SUNBURY (8th): the Lions have lost young recruit
Mitch Trimboli, who is expected to miss up to six
weeks after having surgery to repair torn finger
ligaments. Sunbury has arguably had the toughest
draw of anyone to kick off, but at the same time while
encouraged coach Ben Jordan says the Lions have
too often played in patches.They will need much more
consistency against a rampaging Darley.
DARLEY (3rd): Chris Graham will miss through
suspension, but other than that the Devils remain in
good shape and there is no shortage of depth.
Coach Heath Scotland is expecting Sunbury to throw
plenty at them, but with competition high for places in
the team Darley is not about to let its winning run slip.
And with so many new faces Darley is only going to get
better with each run.
PREDICTION: DARLEY
LAST TIME: round 13, 2016 - East Point 10.14 (74) d
Lake Wendouree 9.13 (67)
EAST POINT (10th): another tough match-up for
the Kangaroos, emphasised by a common form-line
through Redan. One similarity they have with Lakers is
a failure to make the most of scoring opportunities.
Their performance against Redan was better than the
scoreboard indicated, but that was partly the price
for not being able to put the finishing touches on their
work. Lakers are not a big team, but the absence of
ruckman Rylan Rattley (ankle) will hurt in an area East
might otherwise have had an edge.
LAKE WENDOUREE (2nd): Lakers have got the job
done with two wins from two outings, but coach Tim
Malone says they still have a fair way to go in what is
deliberately a slow build. He has been pleased with
the introduction of some new blood, including young
ruckman Harry Monk. While Nick Peters is okay after a
heavy knock, Luke Bucknall has aggravated an ankle.

Roosters
boosted

key ins
North Ballarat gears
up for strong Zebras
VFL
BY DANIEL SHORT
NORTH Ballarat Roosters
will make six changes ahead
of its Victorian Football
League clash with Sandring-
ham on Saturday at Trevor
Barker Oval.
Oliver Tate, Lane Buck-
well, Nick Hausler, James
Keeble, Hayden Walters
and Jacob Wheelahan (23rd
man) all return to bolster a
side that suffered a 124-point
belting last week – including
a 108-11 second half.
The Roosters will need to
be as close to full strength
as possible as it prepares for
a Sandringham line-up that
could boast up to 20 AFL-list-
ed players.
St Kilda currently has only
three players on its injury
list, leaving North Ballarat
with a sizeable task against
its VFL affiliate.
Its main challenge will be
quelling the Zebras tall tim-
ber. Tom Hickey (201cm),
Patty McCartin (194cm),
Jason Holmes (203cm) and
former Rooster Rowan Mar-
shall (201cm).
Coach Marc Greig said the
height would be a concern,
but the group simply had
to focus on returning to its
best football.

with the Bendigo Pioneers earlier this season. Picture: Dylan Burns
“We don’t have the height
down back, so we’ve just got
to have our good players on
them,” Greig said.
“They’ll be a pretty strong
team – bring your A game.”
Greig said the side had
looked to address its de-
fensive structures in order
to better control opposi-
tion momentum.
“Our first halves have been
okay by nearly everyone,
but the second halves, most
blokes have dropped off.
“We’ve done a bit more
defensive work this week, so
that we don’t get blown out
of the water and can nullify
them at times. There’s a few
little things we’ve been work-
ing on, when the momentum
is not with us...we need to be
able to stem that and control
the tempo.”

RETURNING: Oliver Tate will be a welcome return to the Roosters line-up. He will add
some much-needed on-field leadership as well as quality ball-use from defence.
KEY POST: North Ballarat Roosters' Tony Lockyer accepts a handpass. He will be a part
of a backline entrusted with the sizeable task of controlling Sandringham's big guns.
TAC CUP
GREATER Western Victoria
Rebels face another chal-
lenge this weekend as it takes
on top-four side Oakleigh
Chargers in Saturday’s TAC
Cup encounter.
The Rebels have won its
past two matches to move
to 2-3, but it has gained wins
over two sides that only boast
one victory between them in
2017. The Chargers bode as
the group’s toughest chal-
lenge yet.
Coach Gerard FitzGerald
said this week would provide
a good gauge of where it sits
against a top side, he felt that
after five weeks of the year,
the group was now begin-
ning to execute its systems
more effectively.
“We’ve been beating sides
around us, this week we play
a side that’s 3-2 distinct to us
at 2-3,” FitzGerald said.
“We reckon we’ve made
sufficient progress to be able
to challenge against those
sides now...I think it’s a chal-
lenge we’re better equipped
for now than we were three
weeks ago.”
GWV Rebels has had to
manage many of the players

ball commitments this week.

THE North Ballarat Roost-

night match against William-

issues with the lighting.
The match has been
moved to 2pm on Saturday,

The club said the change
in fixturing was due to issues
with the lighting, however it
was not in the club’s control,
rather the council’s and sub-

The clash would have been
the club’s only night fixture
at Eureka Stadium and made
for a great spectacle for its

In what is a disappoint-

its supporters, the Roosters
stressed the matter was out
of its hands.
The stadium constructions
are centered around being

Dunnstown will host the
match which will be dedicat-

money for the cause. It will
wear a specially made jump-
er, while both clubs will wear
blue socks.
Dunnstown captain Rhys
Cahir said it was important
to start talking about these
issues within football clubs
and he hoped that in the fu-
ture that leagues around the
region would get on board
and possibly create a Beyond
Blue round.
“It came about with both
clubs being affected by the
loss of someone a couple of
seasons ago,” Cahir said.
“Hopefully we can build
it up so that in the future it
can become a Beyond Blue
round in the whole of Cen-
tral Highlands. Unfortunate-
ly, most people now know
someone who has com-
mitted suicide, it’s a good
cause to get some money
into. Just chat to a few blokes
who might not do it on there
own time, if someone’s there
and they grab a pamphlet it
might help someone out.”

as an athlete’s opportunity
to develop and progress into
the elite pathway of netball
in Australia.
“Whether it’s their first

develop their position-spe-
cific skills,” said West.
“The 17/under camp fo-

developing their skill set in
the attack and defence units,
then translating this new
knowledge into match-play.”

NATHAN Cooper-Brown has
been appointed as an assis-
tant coach for the national

which will compete in the
new International Basket-
ball Federation (FIBA) Asia

with him in this new capacity.
“He brings a dedication
and attention to detail that
will help this group have the
