ustralia and the UK have joined forces to keep pressure on China over North Korea, but a Chinese government-linked think tank insists China is powerless to negotiate with its rogue neighbour. Analysts from the China Institute of International Studies, affiliated with China’s ministry of foreign affairs, argue the west has miscalculated the influence China has over North Korea. They say China has no avenue to negotiate with North Korea, insisting the dictatorship has shut the door on China. “You are pushing China to do something, but in this dilemma China can do almost nothing,” an analyst told Australian reporters in Beijing. Analysts argue China is taking the mature approach to North Korea, insisting the rogue regime’s missile tests are an attempt to create

Abbott wary of gay marriage postal vote
T
ony Abbott thinks giving Australians a say on samesex marriage via the post would be a better alternative to a parliamentary vote. But the former prime minister queries how much real authority a postal plebiscite would have. His federal Liberal colleague Peter Dutton has pushed the case for a postal plebiscite, saying he would like the issue resolved in this term of parliament. “I certainly think that will be better, much better, than just trying to ram this thing through the parliament,” Mr Abbott told 2GB’s Ray Hadley on Monday. Having a vote in parliament - as
Labor wants - would be a breach of faith with voters because the coalition didn’t agree to one before the 2016 election, he said. Mr Abbott conceded a postal plebiscite was an alternative given Labor’s unwillingness to hold a formal poll. “Here you have Bill Shorten yesterday demanding a referendum on four-year (federal) terms but is unwilling to let the people have their say on any change to the Marriage Act,” he said. A move to four-year terms requires a change to the constitution through a referendum.

Class action filed over
TAKATA AIRBAGS A
n open class action will be filed against car manufacturers in Australia over the ongoing Takata airbag saga now linked to 18 deaths around the world. Toyota, Honda and Mazda are in lawyers’ crosshairs for alleged breaches of Australian Consumer Law. The class action follows revelations this week some companies are refitting defective Takata airbags with the same brand of potentially-faulty products. Lawyer Damian Scattini said motorists needed to enforce their consumer rights. “It is, quite frankly, outrageous and almost inconceivable that there are over one million cars on Australian roads that contain a ‘safety’ product that could, at any time, explode with lethal force,” he said in a statement on Tuesday. The Federal Court legal action would be complementary to any measures taken by regulators, Mr Scattini said.
The Australian government on Monday warned it could enforce a mandatory recall at the direction of the consumer watchdog if it wasn’t satisfied car makers were prioritising the current voluntary measure. It has written to all manufacturers demanding an urgent update after NSW Police said the death of a 58-year-old man in Sydney last week was likely due to a defective airbag. The man was hit in the neck by a small fragment during a collision. Takata airbags use ammonium nitrate to trigger inflation, but the chemical can deteriorate over time and cause a metal canister to explode too forcefully, projecting shrapnel. The Sydney incident was the first death in Australia to be linked to Takata airbags. Potential Brisbane plaintiff Tamika Moulton, 29, said she had sought assurances from Toyota her 2007 Yaris was safe after having its airbag replaced, but

DALI TO BE EXHUMED FOR PATERNITY TEST

M
adrid The body of surrealist painter Salvador Dali is to be exhumed on Thursday to carry out a paternity test after a Spanish judge ordered the move in June. Revered for his eccentric works, such as the melting clocks in the 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory, and instantly recognisable for his signature handlebar moustache, Dali died of heart failure in 1989 at the age of 84. He was thought to be childless. But a 61-year-old Spanish woman from the city of Girona, who was not named by the court, convinced the judge that Dali should be unearthed in order to find if she is the artist’s daughter. It is well-known that the
“Takata is deeply sorry for all loss of life and injuries that have occurred in any case where a Takata airbag inflator has failed to deploy as intended,” a spokesman said in a statement to AAP. More than 2.3 million vehicles in Australia were subject to the recall originally issued in 2009, but only 850,000 have had their Takata airbags replaced.
woman, who works as a tarot card reader, has been claiming since 2007 that she is Dali’s child. She is seeking legal recognition as his daughter, which could also entitle her to portions of his property and rights to his art. She says her mother was employed in Dali’s household in the mid-1950s and the two had a secret love affair. Dali would have been married to his muse Gala at the time. Dali is buried among his art works under the glass dome of the Dali Theatre and Museum in Figueres, a city is Spain’s northeastern Catalonia region. The Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation is expected to make a statement to journalists about the exhumation on Friday.
SICKIES AND POOR SLEEP LINKED: STUDY
P
oor sleep and sick days are cosy bedfellows with more than one in four Australians taking a day off a month because they’re too tired, researchers say. A study of 551 working adults found 27 per cent missed one or more days of work
in the past month because of a sleep problem, Sleep Health Foundation researcher Professor Robert Adams said. “Surprisingly, we discovered that you don’t need to be an insomniac or a severe snorer to have sleep problems that stop you going to work,” he said.

CHINA ‘POWERLESS’ IN NORTH KOREA DILEMMA leverage to force the US to open dialogue. They argue China has more to lose than most nations if tensions boil over, fearing a flood of refugees over its north-east border if North Korea made a suicidal first move. “It’s terrible so that’s why China needs to make sure the situation calms down,” one analyst said. “If China and other countries don’t use the brakes, maybe these two trains will collide.” Australia has received reports North Korea may use the anniversary of the end of the Korean War to fire another test missile. It comes amid reports the Pentagon predicts Kim Jong-un will be able to make reliable, nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles as early as next year. Defence Minister Marise Payne recently repeated calls for China to engage with North Korea “to emphasise the foolhardy nature of the activities in which they’re occupied in relation to missile activities”. British Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon also urged China to step up.
“It is now for Beijing to use the influence it has over the North Korean regime to get it to abandon its program,” he said. The analysts maintain North Korea isn’t interested in dealing with China, insisting the US controls the situation. “We need to make sure the DPRK has their security guaranteed by the international community. “North Korea should suspend nuclear and missile testing but the US and South Korea should suspend military exercises.” * The reporter travelled to China on a delegation hosted by the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs.
Photo distributed by the North Korean government on July 29, 2017, shows what was said to be the launch of a Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile at an undisclosed location in North Korea.

Diana traumatised by engagement interview made by her speech coach Peter Settelen in the early 1990s. After meeting Charles a few years earlier and not being swayed by the royal presence, she initially changed her mind at the barbecue. “I sat there and this man walked in and I thought, ‘well I am quite impressed this time round’. I was different and everything else,” she said. “He chatted me up - like a bad rash he was all over me.” When she sympathised with the prince about the recent funeral of his great uncle and mentor Lord Louis Mountbatten, killed by the IRA in 1979, and how he had needed someone “beside” him at the service, Charles responded amorously. Diana said: “Wrong word whereupon he leapt upon me and started kissing me and everything - this is not what people do. And he was all over me for the rest of the evening, followed me around (like a) puppy.” She confessed they only met 13 times before they married but when they were interviewed
to mark their engagement the Princess was left dumbstruck by the Prince’s response to the question about whether they were in love. Diana replied “of course” and Charles gave his famous response “Whatever in love means”. The princess said: “That threw me completely, I thought what a strange (answer) - absolutely traumatised me.” Diana later speaks candidly about her battles with an eating disorder. “Everybody knew about the bulimia in the family and they all blamed the failure of the marriage on the bulimia, and that’s taken some time to get them to think differently. “I said I was rejected, I didn’t think I was good enough for this family, so I took it out on myself. “I said ‘I could’ve gone to alcohol, which would’ve been obvious, I could’ve been anorexic, which would be even more obvious. I decided to do the more discreet thing, which ultimately wasn’t discreet but I chose to hurt myself instead of hurting all of you’.”

PHILIPPINE MAYOR KILLED IN ANTI-DRUG RAID
M
anila Twelve people, including a city mayor, have been killed in a shoot-out with police officers during a series of pre-dawn anti-drug raids in the southern Philippines. Police officers also arrested the vice mayor of Ozamiz City, about 780km south of Manila, during the raids on Sunday, Chief Superintendent Timoteo Pacleb, a regional police director said. Police simultaneously served search warrants against the properties of Reynaldo Parojinog Senior, mayor of Ozamiz City, his daughter Vice Mayor Nova Parojinog and three other family
members on allegations they were trading in illegal drugs, Pacleb said. “The police personnel were met with volley of gunfire from their security, prompting the police to retaliate,” he added. Aside from Parojinog, his wife, a provincial board member who was also a relative and four security aides of the family were among those killed in the shootout, Pacleb said. The identities of the other people slain were still being verified. Police confiscated highpowered firearms and an undetermined amount
of methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, from at least four houses of the Parojinog family, the city’s information office said. Last week, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte vowed that his aggressive campaign against illegal drugs will not ease despite mounting criticism over the rising death toll. More than 3000 suspects have been killed in anti-drug operations since Duterte became president on June 30, 2016, according to police statistics. But human rights groups have warned that the actual death toll could be higher.
First Australians arrived even earlier
N
ew proof has been found showing Aboriginal people lived in Australia up to 18,000 years earlier than once thought, at the same time now-extinct species of giant animals roamed the land. A team of archaeologists have uncovered a treasure trove of evidence with global
significance for the history of human evolution, confirming the colonisation of Australia at least 65,000 years ago. That’s much earlier than previous estimates of between 47,000 and 60,000 years. The discovery was made at the Northern Territory’s Madjedbebe rock shelter, located on the
traditional lands of the Mirarr people surrounded by the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. It sets a new minimum age for the dispersal of modern humans out of Africa and across south Asia, and the subsequent interactions of homo sapiens with Neanderthals and Denisovans.
MAN BUSTED OVER DRUGFILLED BRA INSERTS
A
Hong Kong man has been jailed in Melbourne for his involvement in a shipment of drug-filled push-up bra inserts with a street value nudging $15 million. Li Yeung, 24, was jailed for eight years on Thursday for attempting to possess more than 13kg of pure methamphetamine shipped from China to Australia in February 2016. The drugs, addressed to Yeung’s house at Box Hill, were hidden inside more than 1100 bra inserts in a shipment busted by Australian Federal Police. “The liquid inside the push-up bra inserts was methamphetamine,” Victorian County Court Judge Frances Hogan said in her sentencing. Federal officers detected the drugs when they arrived in Melbourne, and set a trap to catch the culprit. “They substituted an inert substance for the drug and reconstructed the boxes for a controlled delivery,” Judge Hogan said.

Government subsidises miracle cancer drug
T
housands of Australians fighting late-stage renal and lung cancer will soon get easier access to a new miracle drug. From Tuesday, the federal government will subsidise Opdivo so that patients will pay just $38.80 per treatment, or $6.30 for those with a concession card. Up to now, patients have had to fork out about $5000 a course adding up to more than $130,000 per year. “This drug changes lives and save lives,” Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Sunday. “For patients and their families it provides the precious gift of a full and healthy life.” It’s one of the biggest listings ever on the Pharmaceutical
Benefits Scheme, costing the government $1.1 billion. The drug has been credited with saving the life of AFL star Jarryd Roughead among others. It’s a type of immunotherapy that helps make cancer cells more vulnerable to attack by your body’s own immune cells. Unlike conventional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation, it activates white blood cells that help fight disease so they can attack cancer cells in your body. The federal government says it is more effective and safer than current therapies and can improve and extend the life of patients. “The hardest part of this role is to witness families facing
the most tragic of medical diagnoses,” Mr Hunt said. “The most uplifting is to see breakthroughs that save lives , transform families and give people real hope - and that’s exactly what Opdivo does.” Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Australia, with about 8000 people dying from the disease each year. Some 3500 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed annually, making it the ninth most common cancer in Australia. Peak bodies Lung Health Australia and Kidney Health Australia both welcomed the drug’s listing, saying it could make a significant difference to patients’ lives.
But Judge Frank Gucciardo said during sentencing that Tymms was believed to “still nurture feelings” for Fogarty and hoped to rekindle their relationship after the pair is released from jail. The court was told Tymms pleaded guilty to trafficking a drug of dependence in Wangaratta between January 2013 and September 2014. The pair tried to conceal their trafficking by renting premises to deal from, using many telephones with “fictitious” names, using encryption services and
laundering money through TAB wagering accounts. In 2014, Fogarty gave birth to the couple’s child. Soon after the birth, she called Tymms from hospital with directions to collect debt money. Judge Gucciardo said Tymms’ role in the couple’s drug business, because of his relationship with Fogarty, was as “enabler and facilitator” to achieve her purposes. Aoart from the assault from his girlfriend, Tymms was also attacked on two other occasions
while involved in the drug business. Tymms was sentenced to 10 months in jail, followed by an 18-month community corrections order with 200 hours of community work. Fogarty, 27, who was sentenced in March 2016 to seven years’ jail for drug trafficking, was dubbed in the media as the “ice queen”. Judge Gucciardo noted he had already served 131 days in presentence detention.
drugs in Australia had made the nation an attractive market for organised crime. The average street price of ice in China is $100 per gram compared to $620 in Australia, based on UN figures, leading to a significant increase in the amount and purity of ice smuggled into Australia. Mr Keenan said Australian Federal Police had begun fighting the drug at its source and were now working with Chinese authorities. He said the approach “is a great example of how international co-operation is stopping drugs from hitting the streets here in Australia,” with 13 tonnes of ice already being stopped in the past 18 months.
A network of antigang squads across Australia is also working to stop illegal drugs in the community but the damage ice inflicts on users, families and frontline staff in hospitals and emergency services makes it the main focus. The study of wastewater from 37 treatment plants which cover 51 per cent of the population between October 2016 and February 2017 also found the consumption of pain killers oxycodone and fentanyl had dropped but their use remained significant, particularly in regional Australia. The analysis of Australia’s sewage is the second in a series
VIC LOVER JAILED FOR AIDING ‘ICE QUEEN’
Y
oung lovers who ran a drug empire in country Victoria are now both behind bars after the boyfriend of violent “ice queen” Jessica Fogarty was jailed for 10 months. Matthew Tymms, 25, helped his girlfriend sell about six to eight ounces of ice a week, making about a $4000 profit per ounce, the County Court of Victoria was told on Tuesday. Despite their huge earnings, the relationship was tumultuous, with Fogarty at one point breaking Tymms’ nose.
COCAINE USE UP BUT ICE IS THE REAL PROBLEM A
ustralia’s ice problem could be the worst in the world, according to Justice Minister Michael Keenan. While ice continues to be a risk to the nation and is the most dangerous of illegal drugs, figures show it remains the most popular. “This is a diabolical drug,” Mr Keenan said on Wednesday. Results of a national study of wastewater find Western Australia has the biggest problem of all the states, with one regional site averaging just over 80 doses per 1000 people per day, while Perth had around 60 doses. “Australia has probably the most significant ice problem in the world,” Mr Keenan said. He said high prices for illicit
of nine tests of the nation’s wastewater for drugs. Of the 13 drugs tested for, alcohol and tobacco remained the most used in all states and territories with cocaine use in Australia’s capital cities double that of the country sites tested. Researchers also found the use of cocaine dramatically increased in the ACT in December 2016 and was on the rise while alcohol consumption, along with ice use actually dropped below the national average.

Murray was born in Hungary in 1945, arriving in Australia as a refugee as a child. A 35-year career bringing the world game into Australian homes followed. Murray - known as Mr Football for his advocacy of the sport - became the face of soccer coverage at SBS. He was present at the outset of the National Soccer League and presented several World Cups as the sport transitioned into the A-League era. He was inducted into the Football Federation Australia Hall of Fame in 2003, before retiring in 2014. SBS managing director Michael Ebeid paid tribute on Monday, saying “no one better embodied what SBS represents than Les
Murray”. “From humble refugee origins, he became one Australia’s most recognised and loved sporting identities,” Ebeid said. Others were quick to follow in paying tribute. “The world lost a football colossus this morning, Les Murray AM. He fought well into extra time but whistle has blown. His legacy is lasting,” former Socceroo and SBS broadcaster Craig Foster wrote. Federal opposition leader Bill Shorten said, “Les Murray brought the world game to Australian homes. He was the voice of famous victory and heartbreaking defeat, of joy and despair. Vale.” His long-term broadcasting partner, former Socceroos captain Johnny Warren, died of cancer in 2004.

exican authorities have rescued 147 Central Americans abandoned in the wilderness of Veracruz state after suspected human smugglers forced them out of the cramped tractor trailer they were travelling in on their way to the United States. The migrants, 74 from Honduras, 59 from Guatemala, 13 from El Salvador and one from Nicaragua were in the back of the poorly ventilated vehicle as they travelled to the border state of Tamaulipas, where they would eventually be smuggled into the United States, Mexico’s national immigration institute said. Among those rescued were 48 minors, including 14 travelling without an adult companion. They were abandoned near a highway in the city of Ozuluama, Veracruz. Earlier this month, 10 people died and 29 were hospitalised after more than 100 illegal immigrants were packed into a stifling tractor trailer for a 150-mile (240-km) drive from the
US-Mexico border to San Antonio, where survivors spilled out into a Walmart parking lot in the Texas city. “According to the testimony of migrants, the alleged traffickers, who used the VeracruzTampico route, in order to reach the United States, abandoned the migrants in the wilderness, where they were forced to hide in the bushes” without food or water, the immigration institute said. Personnel from the immigration institute gave medical attention, food and water to the rescued Central Americans and contacted their respective embassies. Plagued by gang violence and poverty, the trio of Central American nations, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, together send the bulk of migrants entering the United States illegally. Turf wars between gangs have sparked a surge in violence in Mexico in the past 18 months, also raising the incentive for some young Mexicans to risk the crossing.
PRIZED AUSSIE DROP SELLS FOR $52,000
A
bottle of prized 1951 Penfolds Grange Hermitage has sold auction for almost $52,000. Melbourne-based MW Wines auctioned off the experimental drop to an unnamed private collector for $51,750 on Wednesday, making it one of the most expensive bottles ever sold
in Australia. MW Wines has told Fairfax it was a “staggering” price. Fewer than 20 bottles are believed to still exist from 1800 bottles of the very first vintage, which Penfold’s chief winemaker Max Schubert gave away to his family and friends.

Sugar intake linked to depression in men
M
en with a sweet tooth could be making themselves anxious and depressed by consuming too much sugar, a UK study suggests. Scientists found that men who consumed more than 67 grams of sugar per day increased their risk of mood disorders by more than a fifth compared with those with an intake of less than 39.5 grams. “High sugar diets have a number of influences on our health but our study shows that there might also be a link between sugar and mood disorders, particularly among men,” lead researcher Dr Anika Knuppel, from University College London’s Institute of Epidemiology and Health, said. “There are numerous factors that influence chances for
mood disorders, but having a diet high in sugary foods and drinks might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back,” Dr Knuppel said. “There is increasing evidence for the physical damage sugar has on our health. Our work suggests an additional mental health effect.” But Australian expert Dr Anna Kokavec is not convinced. Dr Kokavec is an experienced biological researcher, currently working as a psychologist in private practice and as a research consultant at Victoria University. She says there is little in the findings to confirm that sugar causes depression. “The science confirms that
U2 URGES END TO ACHTUNG BABY LAWSUIT sucrose can significantly increase insulin level, which subsequently can affect the uptake of tryptophan and alter the synthesis of serotonin,” she said. While low serotonin is a key factor in depression, the biological factors associated with the mental disorder need to be investigated before any conclusions about sugar can be made, she said. “This is a self-report study that has not looked at biological factors. It is purely reporting questionnaire data,” Dr Kokavec said.
SA WOMAN ADMITS TO RACIST RANT ON BUS
A
woman who went on a racist rant on an Adelaide bus engaged in behaviour that “cannot be condoned in a civilised society”, a court has heard. Stacey Marie Thomason
pleaded guilty to an abusive language charge in the Adelaide Magistrates Court in relation to the verbal attack on a woman and her young child on a bus in November last year. In sentencing Thomason to 200
hours of community service work on Monday, Magistrate David McLeod said the 31-year-old had directed a racial slur at an Asian woman and had also called her a “f*****g c***” in front of other passengers.
The 34-year-old Ormeau man was driving through Waterford West, south of Brisbane, when he crashed into a parked car and then a tree. He will appear in the Beenleigh
Magistrates Court on August 18 to face a charge of driving under the influence of liquor after blowing a breath alcohol reading of .306 per cent.

rish rock group U2 has asked a US judge to dismiss a lawsuit by a British songwriter and guitarist who claimed that the band lifted large parts of one of his works for a song on its 1991 blockbuster album Achtung Baby. In a filing with the US District Court in Manhattan, U2 said ordinary listeners would find that its song The Fly and Paul Rose’s 1989 instrumental Nae Slappin sound “nothing alike”, and no reasonable jury could find them substantially similar. The band also questioned why Rose waited until February to sue, saying “nothing about ‘The Fly’ has changed in the quarter century since it was released”. A lawyer for Rose had no immediate comment. Rose has said he is seeking at least $US5 million ($A6.3 million) in damages from U2 lead singer Bono, bandmates The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr, and UMG Recordings Inc, a Vivendi SA unit that releases records under U2’s label Island Records. According to the complaint, Rose had given a demo tape of Nae Slappin to Island, and The Fly later incorporated its guitar solo, distortion and percussive effects.

Aust robotics team win Amazon competition
A
n Australian robot partly held together with cable ties has defeated 15 international teams to win a competition by global retail giant
Amazon in Japan. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, based at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, battled
teams to win the $US80,000 ($A100,280) competition with their ‘Cartman’ robot picking up and storing the most items for Amazon in the shortest amount of time. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, based at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, battled and won against 15 other international teams using their ‘Cartman’ robot. The centre’s chief operations officer, Dr Sue Keay, described the competition as “tense” but the team proved their ability from the outset when they won through to the eight-team final. Despite being one of the “cheaper” robots in the competition, Cartman took top prize by picking up and storing the most items for retail giant Amazon in the shortest amount of time. Dr Keay said it was a fine result for a robot unpacked and reassembled from a suitcase with
“at least one key component held together with cable ties”. Team leader Dr Juxi Leitner said Cartman may have been the lowest-cost robot competing, but paid credit to its innovative Cartesian manipulator. “We were the only team with a Cartesian robot at the event. Cartman was definitely a large reason for our success,” he said. Cartman works by moving along three axes and picking items up using either suction or a pincer grip, making squishy items like socks, no problem. The robot was built from scratch by the robotics team which includes researchers from QUT, the Australian National University and the University of Adelaide. “Looking at the overall performance across all teams, we see huge advances in robotics and Artificial Intelligence,” said Adelaide-based team member Dr Anton Milan.
THREE PLEAD GUILTY TO SYDNEY TERROR PLOT F
ive men and a teenager plotting to carry out a terrorist attack on Sydney police headquarters and other government buildings are now behind bars. Jibryl Almaouie and Sulayman Khalid on Monday in the NSW Supreme Court in Parramatta pleaded guilty to conspiring to carry out an act of terror in late 2014. Another person under 18,
who cannot be named, also pleaded guilty to the plan which involved carrying out attacks on government buildings with firearms. The two men and the teen who pleaded guilty on Monday are among six involved in the plot. Three other men, Mohamed Almaouie, Farhad Said and Ibrahim Ghazzawy, have previously pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of knowingly

making a document likely to facilitate a terrorist act. Ghazzawy was sentenced in May to a maximum term of eight years and six months in jail and will be eligible for parole in April, 2022. Almaouie, Khalid and the teen did not stand when Justice Geoff Bellew entered the courtroom on Monday. Neither did their families watching from the public gallery. “Not guilty, oh sorry, I mean guilty,” Khalid said on entering his plea. Khalid and Almaouie were
remanded in custody and despite lawyers argiung for the teen’s strict bail should be continued, Justice Bellew revoked it. The teen smiled and blew a kiss to his family, who cried, as he was led away into custody. He will be held in a juvenile justice facility, Justice Bellew said. The charge of conspiring to do acts in preparation of a terrorist act carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. All five yet to be sentenced are due to reappear for sentencing submissions in early October.
SCHOOLBOY SEX COMPLAINANT GIVES EVIDENCE
A
woman charged with having sex with a schoolboy while she worked as his teacher in the 1980s has heard the alleged victim’s evidence in court. Kathryn Joy Woods, who faced a pre-trial committal hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday, is charged with 14 indecent and sexual offences against a child aged under 16. Magistrate Franz Holzer closed the court while the alleged victim, now aged in his 40s, gave
evidence. The offences allegedly occurred between January 1984 and December 1985, when the boy was aged between 10 and 16, and under her supervision and care. The alleged offences include acts of gross indecency, sexual penetration and indecent assault. Woods was supported by her husband during Monday’s proceedings. The court is expected to reopen to the public following the complainant’s evidence.

RECORD FINE FOR WA ‘FREE RANGE’ EGG FARMER O ne of WA’s biggest egg producers has been slugged more than $1 million after it deceived shoppers by falsely labelling some of its products free range, and consumer class action may follow. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission brought the action against Snowdale Holdings over its farms in Carabooda and the Swan Valley in Perth’s north, where the company produced brands including Eggs by Ellah. The farms have since been closed but Snowdale still produces eggs at a large Gingin operation, where it claims hens are stocked at no more than 1500 per hectare. At the former Perth operations, the barns were overstocked and had only one exit, which was too small, so half of the hens probably never got outside. Chickens had to compete with
up to 17,000 others before they could exit the steel sheds. According to Humane Society International, which alerted the ACCC to a neighbour’s claims about the company, some of the sheds held up to 14 chickens per square metre. Snowdale was fined $750,000 in the Federal Court in Perth on Tuesday and must also pay $300,000 in court costs. Humane Society International said the highest penalty previously handed down for such a case was $300,000. Snowdale, a major supplier to Coles and Woolworths, has also been ordered to undergo a consumer law compliance program and publish a corrective notice. Justice Antony Siopis said the conduct was deliberate and “particularly serious”. “This is because the contravening conduct comprised
the making of misleading statements about a staple food product purchased by a very large number of consumers,” he said. “The fact that during the relevant period, Snowdale sold more than 60 million eggs as ‘free range’ eggs is testimony to the extent to which Snowdale’s contravening conduct affected consumers. “Consumers in Western Australia, during the relevant period, paid a premium of between $5 million to $8.5 million for a product which they did not receive.” Not all of that went to Snowdale, however, with Justice Siopis estimating the company itself gained between $1.7 million and $1.9 million in extra revenue “and probably even more”. Outside court, Humane Society International’s Dinny Laurence said the penalty was a major win. “We think that this is a great
result,” Ms Laurence told reporters. “More than the pecuniary penalty, I think that the sanctions that have been imposed on Snowdale are incredibly important.. “There is a monitoring program, which is a wonderful thing. To have a penalty for the past is one thing but to restrain future transgressions of this kind are another.” Ms Laurence said a class action was “a very real possibility”.

GoT AUTHOR HINTS TWO MORE BOOKS COMING
A Russian man identified as Alexander Vinnik in this photo dated Wednesday, July 26, 2017, is escorted by police officers to the courthouse at the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. Vinnik, 38, is accused by U.S. prosecutors of running of major bitcoin exchange that helped to launder criminal proceeds from syndicates around the world.
$4 Billion A
Bitcoin Laundering Suspect Arrested
Russian man suspected of being the anonymous mastermind behind one of the world’s oldest cryptocurrency exchanges and of laundering at least $US4 billion ($A5 billion) has been arrested in Greece, police and sources say. Police sources have identified him as Alexander Vinnik, 38, who was arrested after a tip-off in a small beachside village in northern Greece on a US warrant. Police said the United States would seek to extradite him. Two sources close to the BTC-e virtual currency exchange, who declined to be named while commenting on an ongoing case, said Vinnik was a key person behind the platform, which has been offline since reporting “technical problems” late on Tuesday. “An internationally sought ‘mastermind’ of a crime organisation has been arrested” Greek police said in a statement. “Since 2011 the 38-year-old has been running a criminal organisation which administers one of the most important websites of electronic crime in the world.” Police said “at least” $US4 billion in cash had been laundered through a bitcoin platform since 2011 - the year BTC-e was founded - with 7 million bitcoins deposited, and 5.5 million bitcoins in withdrawals. Bitcoin was the first digital currency to successfully use cryptography to keep transactions secure and hidden, making conventional financial regulation difficult if not
impossible . Vennik’s arrest is the latest in a series of US operations against Russian cyber criminals in Europe. Last week, the US Justice Department moved to shut down the dark web marketplace AlphaBay . The US prosecutions come as scrutiny of Russian hackers intensifies, after US intelligence officials accused Moscow of hacking last year’s US presidential election to bolster Donald Trump’s chances, something Russia denies. There was no indication Vennik’s case was connected to the US hacking charges. The US Justice Department, the Russian Foreign Ministry and BTC-e did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Founded in 2011, BTC-e is one of the oldest and most obscure virtual currency exchanges, allowing users to trade bitcoin anonymously against fiat currencies, such as the US dollar, and other virtual currencies. Until today, the people behind it had remained anonymous. It is known in crypto-currency markets as one with the most relaxed standards for checking the identity of its users, to combat money laundering, and for not collaborating with law enforcement. This helped make it “a favourite money-laundering location” and the exchange has been connected to recent ransomware attacks, said James Smith, chief executive of Elliptic, a company that works with law enforcement to track illicit bitcoin transactions.
A
uthor George R.R. Martin has hinted at the possibility of not one but two new Game of Thrones books in 2018, whetting the appetites of fans who have been waiting for the next instalment of the epic saga since 2011. Martin, whose A Song of Ice and Fire novels were adapted into HBO’s hit medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones, currently is working on the sixth instalment, Winds of Winter, continuing the story from 2011’s A Dance With Dragons. “I am still working on it, I am still months away (how many? good question), I still have good days and bad days, and that’s all I care to say,” Martin wrote on his blog, grrm.livejournal.com, during the weekend. “I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018... and who knows, maybe two. A boy can dream...,” he said. The seventh season of the television show, which premiered this month, already has advanced beyond the events of Martin’s published books. There have been recent contradictory reports about Winds of Winter - that Martin had not even been started it or that he had finished
it but was holding it back - and the author dismissed those as “equally false and equally moronic”. Game of Thrones follows the epic story of warring families in a multi-generational struggle for control of the Iron Throne, which rules over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Martin has come under fire from avid Game of Thrones fans for taking so long to finish Winds of Winter and starting work on other projects. The author said in his blog post that he was working on a two-part history of Westeros’ Targaryen kings called Fire and Blood, with the first part to be released sometime late 2018 or early 2019. A trailer for the HBO show, released last week, shows a brewing battle between Cersei Lannister, who currently sits on the Iron Throne, and Daenerys Targaryen, who has travelled with her army and dragons to reclaim her ancestral home. The series will conclude next year with the eighth season, which will reveal who will sit on the Iron Throne. A series of spin-offs is being developed at HBO.

e was once the Solo Man, an Australian soft drink advertising star from the 1980s famous for man-of-action feats like canoeing off cliff faces. Now Mark Robert Coutelas has been charged in Cambodia with using and selling the drug ice, just years after being jailed in Thailand for drug offences. Mark Robert Coutelas was arrested at a guesthouse by military police in the coastal city Sihanoukville recently, provincial deputy military police commander Keo Sophal said. The 57-yearold appeared at Preah Sihanouk provincial court and was charged with the unlawful keeping, transporting or trafficking of narcotics. Court spokesman Lim Bunheng said Coutelas had “admitted” to previously being sentenced to two years imprisonment in Thailand for “drug trafficking”. Coutelas is being held at Preah Sihanouk provincial prison and will face court at a later date.
According to Thai reports, in 2014 he was arrested at an apartment on the resort island of Phuket in possession of a hand gun, ammunition and a small amount of crystal methamphetamine. He was later jailed. In a May 25 post on his Facebook page, Coutelas tells a friend: “Living in Sihanoukville Cambodia at this minute in Phnom Pehn. I LOVE CHANG CLUB!!! I miss you buddy. Me blacklist (sic) for (sic) Thailand 110 years (sic).” Earlier this year, he also posted he had begun a new business, Back Pain Solutions Sihanoukvill, following on from his experience as a chiropractor in Australia. He also describes himself as “Living a simple happy life in the present moment without causing anyone or anything any pain”. The Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs said it “stands ready to offer consular assistance, in accordance with the Consular Services Charter, to Australians who are arrested or detained overseas”.

World’s First Quantum Computer
MICROSOFT TEAMS UP WITH SYDNEY UNIVERSITY
S
ydney is in the running to build and operate the world’s first quantum computer in what experts are calling this generation’s space race. Microsoft and the University of Sydney have teamed up to research and develop a quantum computer capable of solving problems current computers can’t. At the announcement of the multi-year partnership in Sydney recently, the tech giant said the potential for the science was
endless and could solve global issues including climate change and medicine. Quantum computers promise to deliver a massive increase in processing power over conventional computers by using a single electron or nucleus of an atom as the basic processing unit - a quantum bit, or qubit. By performing multiple calculations simultaneously, quantum computers could be applied to economic modelling, fast database searches, modelling of biological molecules and drugs, and encryption and decryption of information. The university’s Professor David Reilly is in charge of the project, named Station Q Sydney, and said while current computers allow scientists to analyse atoms inside of materials, they can’t create materials from specific
elements. “What we can’t do at the moment in our technology is we can’t go in reverse,” Prof Reilly said. “I can’t give you the periodic table and say, there, choose any element you like on the periodic table (and) assemble them in a combination I want.” With the quantum computer, he said chemical properties such as the strength of magnates could be combined with thermal or electrical properties to design and build entirely new materials. “Having a quantum computer gives us the computational power to start to attack quantum chemistry problems and quantum materials problems that reverse that whole process,” Prof Reilly said. The tech giant had the luxury of picking a “dream team” of academics from across the world
and chose the team at the University of Sydney. “Sydney represents this very unique capability of spanning physics through engineering,” said Microsoft’s head architect of their quantum computation team Doug Carmean. The partnership with Microsoft will join Purdue University in the US, Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Denmark’s University of Copenhagen. But Prof Reilly said Sydney was best placed to get the computer running. “It’s going to come together here in this country, in this city, I think is where we switch on the quantum machine.”
USA Shuts Down Huge Online Drug Marketplace
T
he US Justice Department has shut down the dark web marketplace AlphaBay, working with international partners to knock offline the site accused of allowing hundreds of thousands of people to buy and sell drugs, firearms, computer hacking tools and other illicit goods. The action marked one of the largest law enforcement actions ever taken against criminals on the dark web, authorities said, striking a blow to the international drug trade that has increasingly moved online in recent years. AlphaBay mysteriously went offline earlier this month. It was widely considered the biggest online black market for
drugs, estimated to host daily transactions totalling hundreds of thousands of dollars. The site allowed users to sell and buy opioids, including fentanyl and heroin, contributing to a rising drug epidemic in the United States, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said. “The dark net is not a place to hide,” Sessions said at a
AlphaBay and Hansa Market were two of the top three criminal marketplaces on the dark web, Europol chief Rob Wainwright said at the press conference. The international operation to seize AlphaBay’s servers also involved authorities in Thailand, Lithuania, Canada, Britain and France. The operation included the arrest on July 5 of suspected AlphaBay founder Alexandre Cazes, a Canadian citizen arrested on behalf of the United States in Thailand.

Three Square Market, also known as 32M, said more than 50 employees are voluntarily getting implants August 1 at what the company is calling a “chip party” at its River Falls headquarters.

But a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee said he worries about the potential for “function creep”, where the stated purpose of a technology ends up spilling over into other uses, including surveillance. “This is one of those technologies that sound like it might create some kind of
efficiency, but to me the downside is just too great,” said Michael Zimmer, who teaches internet ethics and privacy at the college’s School of Information Studies. Zimmer said what 32M is trying to achieve can be done through less invasive means, like with an iPhone app. “Part of my general concern is that we don’t go too fast and that we understand the implications of these sorts of (technologies), which is why it’s good we’re having this conversation,” he said.
Scientists run ultrasounds on whale sharks
S
cientists in Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands have conducted the first ultrasound exams on whale sharks living in the wild. The exercise was carried out in the Darwin Wolf marine reserve by experts from Ecuador, Japan, Spain, Britain and New Zealand, biologist Harry Reyes told EFE. Researchers had to operate at depths as low as 37m to perform ultrasound on four whale sharks - three females and a male. The team also took blood samples from two of the sharks. The whale shark, the world’s
largest fish, can extend more than 15m in length, Reyes said. Tests found no evidence that any of the females was pregnant, according to Reyes, the director for conservation of marine ecosystems at Galapagos National Park. He said scientists need to learn more about the whale shark to better design measures aimed at protecting the species. The team included experts from the Churashima Foundation on the Japanese island of Okinawa, where several whale sharks are kept in captivity.
CHINA BIDS TO BECOME AI LEADER BY 2030

The plan, approved by the State Council, says production of AIrelated technology should touch $US22 billion ($A28 billion) by 2020, rising to $US60 billion
in 2025 and $US147 billion in 2030. This will place China “at par with leading powers in the technology and its application,” the report added. According to consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, the plan could boost the GDP of the world’s second largest economy by as much as 26 per cent.
VIRTUAL REALITY TO DOMINATE: SPIELBERG
S
teven Spielberg has warned that a future dominated by virtual reality is coming “whether we like it or not”. The US director was discussing his new movie, Ready Player One, at ComicCon San Diego. The film is an adaptation of Ernest Cline's book that depicts a dystopian world
and flash back at the same time to a decade I was very involved in, the 1980s, but a flash forward to a future that I think is out there awaiting all of us whether we like it or not.” He described the world it is set in, where fossil fuels are depleted and extreme weather is pummelling the globe, as “so dystopic”.

where humans take refuge in virtual reality in a world scarred by the effects of global warming. Set in 2044, it entwines 1980s culture and futuristic concepts. On reading the book, Spielberg said: “It was like the most amazing flash forward
And virtual reality opens up the possibility of being able to do “anything you can possibly imagine”, he said. He added that he feared being “vilified for some kind of grand act of grand larceny of vanity” because so many of the moments in Cline's book focused on his own donations to culture. Spielberg said he had to leave parts of his work out otherwise he felt he would have had to defer directing it.

MUSK HINTS AT NYC TO DC HYPERLOOP APPROVAL
E
ntrepreneur Elon Musk says he's received “verbal government approval” to build an underground transport hyperloop between New York and Washington, DC, although he did not say who gave the approval or how any such project would proceed. Musk, the outspoken chief executive of electric car maker Tesla Inc and rocket company SpaceX, advocates developing magnetically levitated hyperloop trains that would travel in airless tunnels, which he says would be more efficient and faster than current high-speed trains. He recently started a project, the Boring Co, to build transport
tunnels. In two tweets recently he said, “just received verbal government approval for the Boring Company to build an underground NY-Phil-Balt-DC hyperloop. NY-DC in 29 mins” and that the trains would go city centre to city centre. By travelling in vacuum tubes on magnetic cushions, hyperloop trains would avoid being slowed down by air pressure or the friction of wheels on rails, making them faster and cheaper to operate, supporters say. A number of start-ups have begun to develop the technology, despite concerns about the cost and practicality.
Major infrastructure projects typically require complex approval from various levels of government and likely would cost billions of dollars. President Donald Trump in March met with Musk, who raised the Boring Company idea then, White House officials said. Musk also talked about his plans to launch a mission to Mars. White House National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn in April praised the idea of Musk using tunnels to speed rail transit on the densely populated east coast of the United States and also to cut traffic
congestion in Los Angeles. The White House and Transportation Department did not immediately comment on Musk's tweet. The Boring Company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

CELEBRITY Dunkirk shoot was emotional: Harry Styles H
arry Styles says not having a clue what he was doing in his first acting job helped him to give a realistic portrayal of an inexperienced British soldier. The One Direction singer makes his film debut in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, which portrays desperate WWII evacuation of British troops from the French beach. But the pop star said that his lack of acting experience could be seen as a positive as many of the troops at Dunkirk were youths with little time in the military
behind them. According to The Sun he said: “Before filming I watched films like Saving Private Ryan for inspiration. “But I kind of went into this with a feeling a bit like I didn’t know what I was doing. I kind of wanted to go in that way. “The young soldiers also didn’t have any idea what they faced or what they were getting into. “And for me, I think always being a little bit nervous when I was filming helped me. “Any tension I felt personally helped the character.”
Shooting on the beach where the battle took place turned out to be an emotional experience for Styles, who had to perform some of his scenes in the water. The 23-year-old admitted he found himself longing for a cosy recording studio. “My first day was the worst weather we had on the shoot and I thought, what am I doing, I want to be back in the studio. “The long days in the water were definitely the most challenging. “It’s where you end up so exhausted that however much
you want to do it, you start to get emotional. “And being underwater is just on another level, because you obviously can’t breathe. “But what the film is about and where the film is set didn’t really leave any room for personal -discomfort. “No-one was thinking, oh my leg hurts, or, I’m tired.”
ustralia’s two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has revealed she will play villain Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, and says it’s all because of her kids. Speaking on the stage at ComicCon in San Diego the two-time
Oscar winner told an audience of 6,500 fans at the convention on Saturday that she she got involved in the franchise through a “happy accident”. “It’s a universe that I’ve sort of been happily dragged into by my
kids,” she said. Thor’s alter ego Aussie star Chris Hemsworth said he became tired of the Marvel Comics superhero so he spoke to Kiwi director Taika Waititi and they agreed to give him a “mid-life
crisis”. “I’ve put up with this character five times, this is Marvel’s 167th film or something, me personally I got a bit bored myself and thought we’ve got to try something different,” he said.

Jada Pinkett Smith denies swinger rumours J
ada Pinkett Smith has addressed speculation about her relationship with husband Will Smith, insisting: “We do not swing.” Rumours about the Hollywood stars having an open marriage and attending swingers parties have circled for years. But 45-year-old Pinkett Smith denied the rumours in an interview on BBC Radio 1Xtra. “Now I do have a couple of boyfriends and a couple of girlfriends but we don’t swing.” The Smiths have been married since 1997 and are parents to son Jaden, 19, and daughter Willow, 16.
MADONNA
HALTS AUCTION OF INTIMATE ITEMS
M
adonna has persuaded a US judge to halt the auction of 22 personal items, including a pair of worn satin panties, a brush containing her hair and a break-up letter from a former boyfriend, the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Justice Gerald Lebovits of the New York State Supreme Court temporarily blocked the online auction of the items, which was scheduled for Wednesday, and directed the auctioneer, Gotta Have It Collectibles, to explain on September 6 why he should not issue a preliminary injunction. Lebovits issued his order on Tuesday, a few hours after Madonna sued, and made it public on Wednesday. In a court filing, Madonna said
Pinkett Smith said of the secret to their long marriage: “I think, you know, one of the things I had to learn was that you really have to go off and find what makes you happy for yourself. “Two partners have to go find their happiness and come together as two happy people and then you help build on that happiness but what you can’t expect is for your partner to make you happy. “All these expectations of people being certain things for you, you know, you’ve got to come to the table with your own happiness, with your own joy, so
that you guys can share that together. “And I really had to learn that. We’ve got to deal with our traumas, we’ve got to deal with our bulls**t and really just come together as whole people and then really support that and add to that. “But man when you are trying to get somebody to like fill all the holes within you and all your pain, and thinking your partner is supposed to save you from your traumas. Man, that’s a way to destroy a relationship.” The actress stars in new comedy movie Girl’s Trip, which
sees her sharing a steamy scene with actor Kofi Siriboe. Asked how her husband felt about the scene, she joked: “Will and I have been married for 20 years. “He’s not feeling any kind of way about that. “After 20 years he’s probably like, thank you Kofi (claps).”
Next James Bond film set for 2019
J
the 22 items were among 128 being consigned for the auction, mostly by Darlene Lutz, whom she described as a longtime friend and art consultant. The singer, 58, said she was not trying to block the auction of all the items but would face “irreparable harm” if many of her “extremely private and personally sensitive belongings” were sold. “It seems obvious that defendant Lutz betrayed my trust in an outrageous effort to obtain my possessions without my knowledge or consent,” she said. In a court filing, Lutz said she and Madonna had a “falling out” in 2004 that led to a legal settlement that should have resolved the singer’s latest claims.
ames Bond is returning to movie theatres in November 2019, but producers aren’t giving any indications who will play Britain’s most famous fictional spy. Eon Productions and MGM studios said in a statement that the 25th Bond film will be released in US theatres on November 8, 2019, with a slightly earlier release in Britain. They gave no title, casting or other details. Britain’s Daniel Craig has
played Bond in the last four films, including 2012’s Skyfall and 2015’s Spectre. His reprisal of the role for a fifth time has been the subject of much speculation after the actor said in 2015 that he would rather slash his wrists than play Bond again. Actors such as Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston and Tom Hardy have all been named as potential candidates to step into the fast cars and sharply tailored suits of Bond, MI6’s secret agent 007.
AFFLECK: I’M STILL BATMAN, DESPITE RUMOURS
B
en Affleck is still Batman. The US actor shot down rumours that he would be hanging up his cape for the stand-alone Batman film, even though he recently ceded directing responsibilities. Speaking to a crowd of about 6,500 fans at San Diego ComicCon, Affleck unequivocally assured the crowd that he is still starring in The Batman. On Friday, the trade publication
The Hollywood Reporter published a report that Warner Bros was working on plans to “usher out Affleck’s Batman gracefully” and suggested that it might happen before The Batman. The report threatened to overshadow Warner Bros’ flashy Hall H presentation on Saturday, which was focused on hyping the studio’s big superhero mashup film Justice League, which hits theatres in November.

statement Friday that the wax Beyonce was back on display after adjustments to “the styling and lighting of her figure”. A spokeswoman for the museum declined to specify what changes were made. A representative for Beyonce did not return an email seeking comment.

GRINSPOON – A GUIDE TO BETTER LIVING I
conic Aussie rockers Grinspoon have today released their highly anticipated, 20th Anniversary deluxe edition of the album that propelled their careers into the stratosphere, Guide To Better Living. Fittingly, the release lands on the day they are set to kick off their upcoming national tour, which is now almost completely sold out, as fans clamour to secure their tickets. Hockey Dad are already on board as main support for the epic tour, and today Grinspoon are chuffed to announce their additional supports My Echo, Good Boy, Royal Chant and The Dead Love who will be jumping on the road for a bunch of shows each. Having just performed in the
coveted slot at the State of Origin on Wednesday, Grinners are busier than ever – and their fans cannot get enough. Tickets to their Tivoli Theatre show sold out in just thirty minutes after going on sale, and now more than half the tour is sold out, with 20 of the 31 shows already certified sellouts and very limited tickets are still available to all other shows. To correspond with the tour, the accompanying expanded; multi-format reissue of Guide To Better Living is available from today. The Grinspoon-curated 20th Anniversary edition of Guide To Better Living sees the original 16-track album expand to a mammoth 49 track feast of rarities, live tracks and unreleased recordings. The
album also appears on vinyl for the very first time in the form of a limited edition red vinyl pressing, coupling the original album with a second disc Live At CBGB’s – an incendiary 10-track live recording of the band taken from the fabled CBGB’s venue in New York. Thrilled with the response to the reissue of the album and the hugely popular tour, frontman Phil Jamieson has a message for the album: “Happy 20th birthday GTBL! We are so proud you have grown up to be the album we imagined you’d become… it’s such a delight to see the people of Australia wanting to see you live and listen to you on vinyl. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect you to turn out so great
- but you did. You must have had some awesome parents! All our love, GSPN.” The Guide To Better Living Tour will see the band play the album cover to cover across July-September 2017, alongside a selection of later favourites from their albums that followed. Grinspoon is Phil Jamieson on vocals, Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass and Kristian Hopes on drums. Grinspoon play The Pier Bandroom in Frankston this Friday August 4 and the new album Guide To Better Living Deluxe 20th Anniversary Edition is out now. For more details visit grinspoon.com.au

LEO This is not a week to hide away. Step forward, Leo. Show yourself and manifest yourself. Start by breaking down the mission into smaller sub-tasks. Don’t hesitate because you will get support and cooperation from experienced people who may be the key to victory.
SAGITTARIUS Be a true leader this week, Sagi. If the people around are starting to act selfish and dependent on you, this may be a sign that you’ve been babying them too much. Make sure to hold them accountable for their responsibilities. CAPRICORN Step into a leadership role this week, Cap. That’s not just about delegating task but you also have to convince everyone to make a unilateral decision for the good of the group. If people don’t understand your thinking immediately, don’t lose confident. AQUARIUS Your emotional life is a bit chaotic at the moment. Cry if you want to cry, but after you dry those tears, find time to discover what is bothering you. A big part of it could be the pressure brought about by trying to achieve a work-life balance. PISCES Your inner control freak is a bit challenged this week, Pisces. Taskmaster Saturn in your sign has made you quite the perfectionist. Fortunately, an event in the past reminds you to stay flexible. Friends surprise you with an email or a phone call.

CANCER You’re a sign who doesn’t give up easily, Cancer. So instead of taking the the opposition too seriously, you turn it into a motivation booster to keep pushing ahead. You have inspired a lot of people too, so expect a small gesture you didn’t count on to come your way.
SCORPIO Breathe easy, Scorpio. You could have pushed yourself past your natural limits. Put the brakes on that driving energy, declutter and downsize. Bear in mind that there’s strength in numbers, so why suffer by trying to do it all on your own?

GEMINI You may find yourself playing a more proactive role in your love life this week, Gemini. Your partner has returned to you or you might have found a new partner. If you just started dating, the relationship is still fragile but with enough empathy things will work out just fine.
LIBRA This could become quite a passionate week in the arena of love. If you’re single, you’re looking for someone who loves to flirt as much as you do. If you’re in a relationship, you revive your courtship rituals.

TAURUS You’re responsible for creating your own happiness, Taurus, so don’t let this depend on anyone else. Your desire for independence doesn’t have to be sabotaged by other people’s needy demands.
VIRGO Look out and don’t do anything crazy or wild this week, Virgo. It’s not an ideal period to dive into crazy financial adventures because that will end up wrong. Make sure that you’re living within your means.

Meet Hugh
My life has been a little rough so far, I’ve never really had anyone to love me or show me what it’s like to be part of a family. I love soft toys and teddys. But a human family would be my favourite thing, because then I can have someone who will talk back- the conversations been a bit one sided if I’m honest! Because of my past I need to go to a home without any cats or small dogs around. Doe to my lack of experience I’m still a bit shy, so little kids are a bit scary. The right owners will understand, and will teach me all about the world in my own time. RSPCA NO. 864259

The Castle house sells for $40K at auction
T
hey’ve gotta be dreamin’ - the house from cult Australian film The Castle has sold for seven times more than the reserve price. But this is not a house - it’s a home. Agents put an auction reserve of $5000 on the weatherboard dwelling, but a bidding war between two buyers on Wednesday afternoon pushed it to $40,000. It will now be relocated from a block at Strathmore, in northwest Melbourne, to a caravan park at regional Beechworth. “We were very surprised it went up to that. The owner would have been happy with $5,000,” real estate agent Rebecca Towns told AAP on Wednesday. “They are intending to make it a residence at a caravan park.”
Moonee Valley City councillors rejected the heritage protection bid at a council meeting last year, five votes to four. The weatherboard house, with a “Victoriana feel”, was the centrepiece of the movie’s storyline, with main character Darryl Kerrigan going to the High Court to stop the government from seizing his home which was located beside an airport runway. The owner of the post-war weatherboard house wanted to demolish it and build two townhouses, so the council stepped in, ordering a report on its social and historical significance. The other house made famous by the film, the holiday shack in Bonnie Doon, is available as a holiday rental on Airbnb.
SYDNEY’S HOUSING MARKET CONTINUES TO SLOW
S
ydney’s housing market is continuing to slow with the monthly growth in the price of a home down one per cent, latest auction figures show. The Harbour City’s home prices were flat in the week to July 23, but over the month the growth in prices slowed from 3.1 per cent to 2.1 per cent, according to data from property analytics firm CoreLogic. Home prices in Melbourne also held steady in the week after climbing for three consecutive weeks, while Adelaide prices were up 0.5 per cent, but both Brisbane and Perth’s home values fell, by 0.6 per cent and 0.2 per cent, respectively. Melbourne’s monthly growth also slipped, to 4.2 per cent from 5.0 per cent the previous week. The median Sydney house price is now $920,000, while in
Melbourne it is $690,000. Despite both Sydney and Melbourne’s fall, overall monthly growth across Australia’s capital cities was up 2.2 per cent. Overall auction volumes across all capital cities were higher, week-on-week - with 1,712 properties going under the hammer in the seven days to Sunday compared to 1,627 the previous week - and than the same time last year. Melbourne sold 537 houses while Sydney sold 361 homes. The CoreLogic report, released recently, said Melbourne’s market had continued to show some resilience to softer conditions, with the number of homes actually selling at auction remaining well above 70 per cent since July 2016, while Sydney had been tracking below the 70 per cent over the past six weeks.
FORMER RICH-LISTER GORE SEEKING LEGAL AID
B
ankrupt former property developer Craig Gore is expected to apply for legal aid to fund his fight against fraud charges. Once on the BRW Rich List, Gore is now before Brisbane Magistrates Court over allegations he defrauded superannuation companies of almost $800,000. He was expected to apply to vary his bail at the court on Friday after he was in April banned from returning to his home in Stockholm, Sweden, where his wife Marina is from. But his matter was instead adjourned until August 18, when he is expected to seek legal aid funding, the court heard on Friday. Gore has been charged with 12 counts of fraud and three counts of making decisions that affect a business while disqualified from managing corporations. The 50-year-old allegedly defrauded superannuation companies of $795,000 between 2013 and 2014, for the benefit of Arion Financial. He is also accused of participating in or making decisions for three separate companies between 2010 and 2014, including Arion, while disqualified from managing corporations. The twice-bankrupt developer was permanently banned from the financial services industry in 2015 by the Federal Court.
Gore and others enticed about 400 people to use their superannuation to invest in schemes in the United States and British Virgin Islands, an Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigation found. About $1.7 million was swindled from investors’ savings, Judge Richard White said ASIC found. Gore, a former motor racing identity, is the son of Mike Gore, who developed Gold Coast resort Sanctuary Cove in 1988. He left Australia owing $25 million in 1992 and died in Canada of a heart attack two years later.

The newest luxury van in our range, the Piazza adds a generous amount of undercover floorspace by utilizing the area above the draw bar of the caravan. Taking only minutes to set up and once mastered, is arguably quicker to roll out than the self winding awning which is standard on all models, the Deck gives the Piazza an additional 9sqm of undercover living space and is especially useful if considering traveling with pets. With the addition of a TV/DVD, lighting and speakers, as well as a 12V socket, this area truly comes alive on those beautiful balmy nights.

Slow sales for I MayweatherMcGregor fight
t’s supposed to be the hottest ticket in sports But fans aren’t exactly storming the box office to buy tickets for Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fight next month with Conor McGregor. An online check revealed hundreds - even thousands - of seats still available from Ticketmaster at the T-Mobile Arena for the August 26 fight. There are so many open seats that fans with enough room left on their credit cards can buy six tickets together in 162 different spots throughout the 20,000 seat arena. That might be because of the astronomical prices set by promoters - the cheapest original tickets on Ticketmaster have a face value of $3500 (A$4400). Or maybe fans are just waiting for the right time to buy, hoping the price will go down. Either way, promoter Leonard Ellerbe isn’t terribly concerned. He says the fight will not only sell out, but break records for the
squad of English Premier League giants Liverpool. He has represented Australia at Under-17 and Under-20 level, and was a part of the Joeys squad at the 2015 Under-17 World Cup. richest gate. “We’re very excited and very happy with ticket sales so far,” Ellerbe told The Associated Press. “We’re well on our way to smashing our own record which transcended the sport.” That record was a $US72,198,500 gate set by Mayweather in his 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao. That live gate was more than three times bigger than any previous boxing gate. Five days after tickets first went on sale, seats throughout the arena are widely available. Prices start at $3500 - plus another $300 or so for buyer fees - and climb to $10,000 near the ring. There are “platinum” seats that go for as much as $14,995. Another sign that demand may be lacking is hotel prices for the weekend of the fight. There are still plenty of rooms available online in the $300-$400 range, including several hotels operated by MGM Grand, which owns the T-Mobile Arena.

Maradona wants RORY MCILROY FIRES LONG-TIME CADDIE to stop next ‘Hand of God’ R
D
iego Maradona has backed the use of video assistant referees (VARs) in football even though he is aware that his infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal would not have stood if the technology had existed during his heyday. The goal during the 1986 World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and England is one of the most talked about in the history of football, alongside his brilliant solo run past five defenders in the same game that gave his side a 2-1 victory. The diminutive Argentine, who tapped the ball over the head of oncoming goalkeeper Peter Shilton with his fist to score his country’s first goal, gained even more notoriety when he claimed afterwards it had been scored by the ‘Hand of God’. “Obviously I think about it whenever I show my support for the use of technology,” Maradona said in an interview posted on FIFA’s website. “I thought about it and, sure, that goal wouldn’t have stood if technology had been around. And I’ll tell you something else: at the 1990 World Cup I used my hand to clear the ball off the line against the Soviet Union. “We were lucky because the referee didn’t see it. You couldn’t use technology back then, but
it’s a different story today.” FIFA has tested VAR technology at several tournaments ahead of next year’s World Cup in Russia, including at last month’s Confederations Cup, and its head of refereeing Massimo Busacca said afterwards that the technology should be refined. The governing body has already said it would like to use VAR at the 2018 World Cup, and football’s law-making body IFAB is expected to decide next March whether to allow them to become part of the game on a permanent basis. VAR involves two video assistant referees who monitor the action on screens and draw the match referee’s attention to possible officiating mistakes. But criticisms include the time taken to make decisions and the referees’ criteria in deciding when to use the system, with some close calls being made without consulting the VARs. Maradona cited Frank Lampard’s disallowed goal for England against Germany at the 2010 World Cup and Geoff Hurst’s goal that won England the Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966, which modern replays later showed did not fully cross the line, as instances where technology could have made a difference.
ory McIlroy has sacked his long-time caddie JP Fitzgerald, ending a partnership that took the Northern Irishman to four major titles and the top of the world rankings. McIlroy will have a new caddie on his bag at the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational this week after ending his nine-year relationship with his fellow Irishman, said a source. Fitzgerald’s sacking comes barely a week after he publicly thanked his bagman for jolting him into gear when he made a poor start to the British Open. McIlroy, who won his last major at the 2014 US PGA Championship, employed Fitzgerald in 2008 shortly after turning professional. The pair enjoyed a brilliantly successful partnership as
McIlroy took over from Tiger Woods as the game’s dominant force and became world number one. “He has taken me from 200 in the world to major champion,” McIlroy said of Fitzgerald in 2011. At the British Open at Royal Birkdale earlier this month, McIlroy again heaped praise on Fitzgerald, who delivered some blunt words to his boss after the Northern Irishman started the tournament with a string of bogeys. After fighting back to shoot one-over 71 in the first round, McIlroy told reporters that Fitzgerald had done a “great job”. Forbes estimated that Fitzgerald earned $US1.65 million ($A2.07 million) from his cut of McIlroy’s prize money over the 12 months to June this year.

Mark Milligan re-joins A-League’s Victory M
elbourne Victory have swooped to re-sign their A-League winning captain Mark Milligan after the Socceroo missed out on a dream move to England. Milligan, 31, has returned to AAMI Park on a one-year marquee deal. The Socceroo utility was honest enough to admit returning to the A-League wasn’t his first choice. And Victory coach Kevin Muscat was mature enough to understand Milligan’s ambitions. After leaving Victory as Joe Marston Medallist in their 2015 winning grand final, Milligan spent two years at UAE-based Baniyas. At the expiration of his contract this off-season, he had two opportunities in Britain only to see them scuttled. Bizarre visa laws require a player’s national team to have spent a certain amount of time among the world’s top 50 nations. As Australia fell short of the requirement, Milligan was marooned.
“When England came up it was “It gives us a great amount of obviously something I needed to stability.” explore,” Milligan said on Monday Milligan indicated Carl Valeri morning. was likely to remain as Victory’s “It was something that I hadn’t captain. been able to do since I was 20 years old. “There was a couple of teams that looked into it ... as it turned out, the visa situation made it impossible. “It was tough in the sense that it was out of my control.” That’s not to say Milligan isn’t happy to be back. “When I came off contract I wasn’t planning on this (but) things aligned,” he said. “Once I spoke to Musky the choice was easy.” Muscat, who now has seven past or present internationals at his disposal, couldn’t hide his delight to bring Milligan home. “I’ve been in contact ever since he left the football club but it was only in the last few days we were able to table an offer he has accepted,” he said. “We’ve added a vital part to the team.

He joins an all-star Victory squad including internationals Besart Berisha, Kosta Barbarouses, James Troisi, Valeri and Rhys Williams. With three visa slots still available, Muscat said he wasn’t done adding to the squad. “We’re pretty excited at the squad we’re putting together,” he said. “Based on players becoming available ... we’re looking at adding a couple of quality players to the list. Time will tell.”

DELLY TIPS SUCCESS FOR AUSSIE NBA ROOKIE
N
BA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has set the blueprint for Australian rookie Thon Maker to scale similar heights, Milwaukee
SPORT 59
www.bignews.com.au Bucks teammate Matthew Dellavedova says. The 20-year-old Maker impressed in his debut season as the Bucks returned to the Eastern Conference playoffs, where they were eliminated in the first round by the Toronto Raptors. A first-round draft pick in 2016, Maker was part of the Bucks’ starting five in 34 games, including all six playoff appearances. Much of the Bucks’ success was due to a magnificent season from 22-year-old Antetokounmpo, who earned his first All-Star selection and was named the NBA’s most
improved player. The 211cm “Greek Freak” became only the fifth player in NBA history to lead his team in every major statistical category points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Dellavedova, who last year became the sixth Australian to win an NBA championship when the Cleveland Cavaliers downed Golden State, sees parallels between Maker and Antetokounmpo. Like his star teammate, the 216cm Maker boasts remarkable athleticism for a big man and has shown he’s more than capable of draining shots from beyond the arc. “I think it gave Thon a blueprint to follow,” Dellavedova said at a promotional event in Melbourne on Thursday. “Thon is a great kid, works extremely hard and has an unbelievable attitude. “For someone to have his size and athletic ability but
also the skill and the shooting stroke, it’s going to be exciting to see what he does. “Giannis came in raw and athletic but he’s really improved his game. You’ve seen the growth from year to year, and what he’s doing now, and I think that is the perfect person for Thon to look up to and try to follow.” Australia’s representation in the NBA is set to grow further next season, with last year’s No.1 draft pick Ben Simmons poised to make his long-anticipated debut for the Philadelphia 76ers. Simmons, Maker and Utah Jazz point guard Dante Exum are among the next generation of stars set to feature in a formidable Boomers lineup at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Boomers had one of their best campaigns at last year’s Rio Games, with Dellavedova and fellow NBA stars Patty Mills and Andrew Bogut falling one point short of a bronze medal. “We gave it a really good crack last year and unfortunately came up short, but that’s the best Boomers team I’ve played on,” Dellavedova said. “When we continue to incorporate guys like Benny and Thon and Dante into that, I think the future only gets brighter.”
Opals reach basketball’s Asia Cup final A
ustralia’s Opals have created history by advancing to the final of basketball’s women’s Asia Cup after a 17-point victory over South
Korea. A day after smashing North Korea to qualify for next year’s World Cup, the Opals led at every break in the 81-64 semi-final win in India. The result means Australia, in their maiden tournament appearance, are the first non-East Asian nation to reach the final. Forward Kelsey Griffin led all scorers with 16 points while US college star Alanna Smith chipped in with 12. Sara Blicavs and Lauren Mansfield both added 10 points. World No.4 Australia will face defending champions Japan in Saturday’s final after they overcame China 74-71. The Opals defeated world No.13 Japan 83-74 in the group phase. The top-four teams at the Asia Cup gain automatic qualification for the World Cup in Spain in September 2018.

AUSTRALIAN TRIATHLON AFL GRAND FINAL LURE PIONEER DIES AFTER MOTIVATES NAITANUI ACCIDENT
G
arth Prowd, one of triathlon’s most important figures, has died after a cycling accident in Spain. Prowd was found unconscious following the road bike accident on July 22 in Barcelona, where he was having a family holiday. The long-time Noosa triathlon race director never regained consciousness and his life support was turned off on Sunday night (AEST). Prowd was 65. Under Prowd, Noosa became one of the sport’s biggest and most important races. Noosa started in 1983, only five years after the sport’s genesis in the United States, and Prowd joined the race organising committee two years later. In the late 1980s, Prowd turned the triathlon into a multi-
sport festival featuring swim, bike and run events. For nearly 30 years he was managing director of USM Events, which ran the Noosa festival along with several other triathlons and other sport and lifestyle events. He sold the company in 2009. For three years during the 1990s, Noosa was a World Cup race and it has always attracted a strong Australian and international elite field. But it is primarily a destination race for age groupers. Two years ago it became the sport’s biggest Olympic-distance triathlon, attracting 8000 entrants. Prowd was awarded the Order of Australia in 2005 for his services to sport. He is survived by his wife Robyn and children Sally, Megan and Katie.

W
est Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui has kept the door open for a fairytale return this AFL season, saying it would be hard to knock back the chance to play in a grand final. Naitanui hasn’t played since undergoing a knee reconstruction in August last year, but he’s back in full training at the club. With just four rounds left in the home-and-away season, Naitanui is running out of time to return. A very best-case scenario would see Naitanui return in the final round of the season - against Adelaide in Perth. If the eighth-placed Eagles are already out of finals calculations by then, it’s almost certain Naitanui would be wrapped in cotton wool until next season. But if West Coast can string some wins together and transform themselves into a legitimate premiership threat, then the chances of Naitanui returning would increase significantly. Naitanui said there was no point making a decision on his availability just yet. “I’m just going to keep training and see how we go,” Naitanui said on Monday. “The last thing I want to do is just focus on my little rehab stuff, and then we make it to a grand final and I’m not a chance or I’ve talked myself out of it because
I haven’t trained the way I want to do. “Hopefully the team can keep progressing to give me more time, which is what I need.” Playing Naitanui this year would come with risks. But if the Eagles somehow defied their recent form to make it through to a preliminary final, playing Naitanui might be a gamble worth taking. West Coast have struggled in the ruck department all season. Injuries to Naitanui and Scott Lycett (shoulder) has meant veteran Drew Petrie and former Cat Nathan Vardy have been forced to shoulder the ruck duties - with mixed results. Naitanui, who said his leap isn’t back to where it used to be just yet, said he would be open to playing a WAFL match before making an AFL return. The 201cm ruckman recently completed an intensive twoweek training camp in the US, where his reconstructed left knee was put to the test under the watchful eye of renowned sports reconditioning specialist Bill Knowles. Naitanui says he has full confidence in his knee now, but concedes he still needs to do more work on his jumping, landing, slowing down, and changing directions.

FL leaders Adelaide will sweat on fitness tests on a key trio including Eddie Betts for Sunday’s AFL grudge match against Port Adelaide. The ladder-leading Crows hope Betts can come back from a week off because of appendicitis, with defender Jake Lever and midfielder Brad Crouch also in the frame to return from injury. Lever has missed the past two matches because of a hamstring

have to play two more seasons. He has signed on for 2018 but didn’t want to predict beyond then. ‘”I’ve heard some people talk about the 400 mark but I’m just enjoying playing at the moment,” Smith said. “Touch wood I stay healthy and can play as many games as I can and if I’m able to reach 400, that’s great. “It’s not something I’m looking at and trying to achieve ... 400 that would be quite special and nice to achieve but it’s quite a long way away.” Smith, who started his Storm career back in 2002, has stunningly only missed 11 games through injury. He said he always trained hard to prepare himself for each game and prided himself on his resilience. “It’s got to be a mixture of luck and hard work,” Smith said. “As my career’s gone on I understand how to get myself around the park and try to be smart with managing the game and myself. “There’s times when you don’t feel up to playing or being in the middle and facing the big blokes and you just grit your teeth and get through it and get the job done.”
injury and Crouch was sidelined for Sunday’s draw against Collingwood by a fractured cheekbone. “The prognosis on all those guys is pretty positive,” Crows coach Don Pyke said post-match. “Eddie, Brad and Lever should all be available at this point, we’re optimistic on all three.” But key backman Kyle Hartigan has suffered a setback in his return from a hamstring strain.
Saints’ Riewoldt confirms AFL retirement << cont. from front page...
Riewoldt will bow out as one of the greatest players in AFL history, a freakish talent who was renowned for his courage and leadership. The five-time All-Australian holds the record for the most games as St Kilda captain and, unofficially, the all-time AFL marks record. He also won a record six club best and fairest awards. The announcement follows months of speculation about whether this season would be it. The 34-year-old has played 333 games since his 2001 debut, second only to Robert Harvey’s 383 at St Kilda. Riewoldt holds the club record for the most games as captain with 220 and also the most best and fairest awards with six. He gave up the captaincy last year to Jarryn Geary. He never played in a premiership team but came agonisingly close, with the Saints narrowly losing to Geelong in the 2009 grand final and then losing the grand final replay the following year after drawing with Collingwood. “I guess that’s an aspect of my career that I’ve beaten myself up over at various stages,” he said. “But it’s not until you really take inventory of everything that’s occurred and you ask yourself the question. “The reason I’m content is going through those experiences, what more could
we have done? Personally could I have trained any harder? Could I have pushed any more? Could I have prepared any better? “The answer’s no. “Until they start giving away premiership medals, I’m content, knowing we gave it an absolute crack.” Riewoldt was rested on the weekend as the Saints lost to Port Adelaide by two points and he has played 14 games this season. He has struggled for much of his career with chronic knee problems. NICK RIEWOLDT • Age 34 • Recruited by St Kilda from the Southport (Qld) with the priority No.1 selection, 2000 national draft • AFL debut round 15, 2001
• 333 senior games for St Kilda, second behind Robert Harvey’s 383 • Six-time club best and fairest • Five-time All-Australian (captain 2009, vice-captain 2014) • Rising Star winner 2002 • Club record 220 games as captain • 714 goals, third-most for St Kilda • Four-time club leading goalkicker • 2004 AFLPA most valuable player • Three-time international rules player • Most marks in a season with 256, in 2004.

JOE DANIHER ON TRACK FOR AFL’S COLEMAN
G
reater Western Sydney expect Jeremy Cameron to miss their next three AFL matches after reinjuring his hamstring. The star forward felt symptoms of the injury that had kept him sidelined for the previous two weeks during Saturday’s win over Fremantle, but played out the game. Giants head of athletic performance David Joyce told the club’s website that Cameron copped a knock before the main break but appeared fine to continue playing. “He got a hit in his back in the second quarter and felt some symptoms down that leg,” he said. “He tested really well throughout the second half. “We went out repeatedly just to check on him and he was fine. We specifically tested him at three-quarter time and he was fine. “He actually presented worse post match so we scanned him and unfortunately it’s revealed he’s got a hamstring strain. It’s a grade two which means three weeks.”

t’s been a while since Essendon fans savoured a piece of AFL silverware, but that wait could be about to end. With four weeks left in the season, Joe Daniher finds himself in pole position for the Coleman Medal. A commanding haul of six goals against Western Bulldogs on Sunday lifted Daniher two clear of the pack. The 23-year-old sits on 53 goals, ahead of Sydney’s Lance Franklin and North Melbourne bolter Ben Brown. Daniher showed his prowess at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, converting a number of contested marks but also producing at ground level. Coach John Worsfold suggested Daniher would be a very worthy recipient of the award - even if it was an afterthought in his current thinking.
