In the accompanying interview, Carey quipped that she had “never had a diva moment”.

The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission recently released an unclassified 2017 report on organised crime in Australia.

Gangland widow eyes Shorten’s seat G angland widow Roberta Williams wants a tilt at federal politics but her proposed run could be over before it’s even begun.

She’s nominating as a candidate for the Australian People’s Party to run against Opposition Leader Bill Shorten in his seat of Maribyrnong, but her status as an undischarged bankrupt is likely to make her ineligible.

Ms Williams gained notoriety during Melbourne’s gangland wars as the wife of slain underworld kingpin Carl Williams.

MOVING AUSTRALIA DAY IS ‘GARBAGE’:

JOYCE

A

bid for a suburban Adelaide council to acknowledge Australia Day as the day of European invasion and shift the traditional celebrations is “garbage” and “social engineering”, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce says.

The Marion Council will consider a motion next month from Councillor Bruce Hull seeking to recognise the feelings of indigenous Australians.

But Mr Joyce has suggested the council stick to “rubbish and roads”.

“Every time a council decides their job is not to look after rubbish and roads but some social engineering for our nation, it is just garbage,” he told reporters in Adelaide on Monday.

Melbourne man who threw a beer can at police and sideswiped a cop car has been caught when he got peckish during the pursuit and stopped for takeaway food.

Police say they saw the man, aged 20, driving erratically on the Princess Highway in Mulgrave at about 9:50pm on Thursday and when they began to pursue him, he threw a beer can at them and sideswiped a police car.

A few minutes later, police caught the man trying to use the drive-through of a Springvale takeaway restaurant and they expect to charge him with a host of traffic offences, discharging a weapon and drug possession.

Watchdog takes ticket reseller to court

T

icket reseller Viagogo will have to defend itself in court after the consumer watchdog accused it of duping customers about ticket costs and tricking them into panic buying.

Viagogo, which resells unwanted tickets to big-name concerts and sporting events, is facing action in the Federal Court for allegedly misleading or deceptive conduct.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission accuses it of failing to disclose “significant and unavoidable fees up-front in the ticket price”.

It cites a range of cases where customers have paid about about a third more than the advertised price, once booking and handling fees were included.

The watchdog also accuses Viagogo of creating a false sense of urgency to entice people to buy tickets.

It alleges the company uses its website to claim tickets to certain events are scarce and likely to run out. But Viagogo doesn’t reveal its references to scarcity relate only to the tickets it has for sale.

“Viagogo’s statements such as ‘less than 1% of tickets remaining’ created a sense of urgency for people to buy them straight away, when tickets may have still been available through other ticket sources,” ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard said on Monday.

Finally, the company is accused of representing itself as an authorised seller of original tickets when in fact it’s a platform for tickets being on-sold by others who no longer want them.

The court action follows recent warnings by the Queensland, NSW and ACT governments for event-goers to avoid Viagogo after waves of complaints, including that buyers received fake tickets, no tickets at all, and could not

Choice spokesman Tom Godfrey obtain refunds.

The ACCC will ask the Federal Court to consider penalties and compliance orders against Viagogo, which is based in Switzerland. AAP has sought comment from the company.

The consumer advocacy group Choice referred Viagogo and another ticket reseller, Ticketmaster Resale, to the ACCC in March after its own investigation into allegedly dodgy pricing practices and marketing claims.

“Our investigation found Viagogo was the worst offender, from dripping in unavoidable fees in its online checkout to incorrectly claiming it has the cheapest tickets on offer,” Choice spokesman Tom Godfrey said on Monday.

On Sunday, the NSW Better Regulation Minister Matt Kean said it was estimated about 600 consumers across the state had lost about $130,000 on tickets to events such as Adele and Midnight Oil concerts and State of Origin matches.

Consumers have been urged to steer clear of Viagogo and buy tickets from the venue or the official ticket seller.

n antique thermometer at a Melbourne auction house has broken, with a specialist hazmat crew and scientist called in to remove the potentially deadly substance.

The incident occurred at a

Computer experts were also being used to run sophisticated scams, steal identities and hide money.

“The use of professional facilitators often results in financial gains for criminals through tax evasion, money laundering, superannuation fraud and phoenixing activities.”

With public sector corruption identified as an issue in the report, it notes Australia’s ranking on Transparency International’s corruption perceptions index has dropped from seventh in 2012 to 13th in 2016.

The report puts this down to “a number of well-publicised instances of corruption in sport as well as publicity generated by several recent anti-corruption agency and royal commission investigations into criminality and workplace misconduct”.

Global links are a major concern, with up to 70 per cent of Australia’s serious and organised crime threats based offshore or having offshore connections.

“As visibility of criminal activities becomes increasingly obscured through new technologies and sophisticated methods, it is clear that a connected, informed and

www.bignews.com.au collaborative response to the threat is required,” Nicole Rose, acting chief executive of the ACIC, says in the report.

The ACIC identified future threats such as a rise in cocaine supply, the high use of opioids, methamphetamine (ice) use, exploitation of the financial sector, visa and migration system fraud, and online scams.

Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan said fighting organised crime was a massive challenge.

“The highlights for this particular report reveals links between serious and organised crime and potential terrorists,” he told reporters in Perth.

“It also highlights the rise in cocaine supply. It’s a trend that is worrying us and (the report also) highlights the fact that prescription drugs ... is an increasing problem.”

Mr Keenan said commonwealth agencies were working closely with state and territory agencies on the problem.

“That co-operation between state and federal law enforcement is absolutely vital if we’re going to have a compressive national response to beat criminality,” he said.

TEN SALE SPARKS NEW MEDIA REFORM DEBATE

T

he decision by US media giant CBS to buy the Ten Network has sparked a new debate over the Turnbull government’s media ownership reforms.

The American broadcaster announced on Monday it had entered into a binding agreement to acquire the business and assets of the troubled Australian media company.

Labor leader Bill Shorten welcomed the news, noting the government’s argument for abolishing the so-called two-outof three rule was to save Ten. “Well CBS has saved Channel Ten so we don’t need to tamper with media diversity laws,” he told reporters in Melbourne.

Malcolm Turnbull defended the proposed changes, insisting the existing provisions were drafted

Senate, Labor was guaranteeing foreign companies would advance at the expense of the Australian business, he said.

“We’re standing up for Australian companies, we’re standing up for Australian jobs, and it’s about time (Mr) Shorten woke up to himself and recognised that the only beneficiaries of his opposition to media law reform are Google, Facebook, Netflix and Amazon.

“They’d be cheering Bill on, because they’d say - the more divided the Australian media sector is, the easier it is to pick them off.”

The government is still in negotiations with the Nick Xenophon Team to secure passage of its reforms through the Senate when parliament resumes next week.

in a pre-internet era.

“We need to have media ownership laws that enable the industry to respond competitively to the threat from the internet, from companies like Netflix and Amazon and so forth,” the prime minister told reporters in the NSW Snowy Mountains.

“If Channel Ten is bought by CBS, fine ... but you have got the rest of the industry.’

Mr Turnbull insisted the package of changes was not a Ten Network amendment agenda.

“This is about ensuring the sustainability of the entire media.”

Mr Turnbull noted newspaper companies, such as Fairfax Media, and regional broadcasters were screaming out for reforms.

WA potash miners hope to ride food boom

A

slew of junior explorers are advancing plans to mine potash in Western Australia, hoping to ride a boom in food production that is expected to boost demand for the fertiliser.

Five separate projects to produce Sulphate of Potash (SoP) from brine beneath WA salt lakes are currently undergoing pre-feasibility studies.

ASX-listed companies looking to develop local potash projects include Agrimin, Australian Potash, Kalium Lakes, BC Iron and Salt Lake Potash.

The businesses hope to benefit from potential future shortages in the fertiliser market that could replicate the current scramble for minerals such as lithium and graphite that are used to manufacture electric batteries.

Agrimin chief executive Mark Savich says the growing importance of greenhouses will fuel demand for good quality potash, just as the construction of battery plants has boosted demand for lithium.

‘NO ONE WITHOUT SIN’: BERNARDI ACCUSES PM

F

ormer Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has pointed the finger at Malcolm Turnbull as the government accuses Labor of conspiring with a foreign political party.

Senator Bernardi helped deliver an embarrassing parliamentary defeat for the coalition on Wednesday when he voted with Labor and the Greens to thwart a censure move against Labor frontbencher Penny Wong.

Senator Wong has admitted her chief of staff was involved in fishing for information during a conversation with a friend from the NZ Labour Party - something she has since labelled unwise - that contributed to Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce’s eligibility to sit in parliament being referred to the High Court.

Fresh from the vote, Senator Bernardi revealed the prime minister and others contacted someone in the UK Tory party and tried to stop him speaking at one of their conferences.

“No one here is without sin,” he told Sky News.

“They would all exploit the same opportunity.”

Senator Bernardi accused the government of overcooking the allegations of conspiracy.

Work to start on Adani mine in October

I

ndian mining giant Adani has announced it will break ground on its Carmichael coal mine in Queensland in October.

Company chairman Gautam Adani issued a statement overnight, confirming the start of works for the $16.5 billion project in Queensland’s Galilee basin, with the first coal to be produced by the facility in March 2020.

Adani’s Australian head Jeyakumar Janakaraj said Charters Towers-based civil contracting firm GA Services would be among the first regional contractors to benefit from the start of works.

“Adani Australia’s regional content initiatives will have long-

term benefits for Queensland, particularly for contractors like GA Services who help us meet our Indigenous content targets,” said Mr Janakaraj said in a statement.

The company decided to move forward on the project after the Federal Court dismissed two legal bids to stop it from going ahead, from traditional owners and environmental groups.

Appeals lodged by the Australian Conservation Foundation and traditional land owner Adrian Burragubba were dismissed on Friday.

However, the Environmental Defenders Office said it would continue to examine the lawfulness of the mine.

Honey a pot of gold against superbugs

NZ BEEKEEPER IN WA DRUG SMUGGLING

H

umble honey could be the cure to slowing the spread of superbugs and antibiotic resistance.

With drug resistant infections expected to kill an estimated 10 million people by 2050, scientists across the globe are working to tackle the problem and among their ranks, Sydney scientist Nural Cokcetin has something to buzz about.

As bacteria continue to evolve and fight off antibiotics, Dr Cokcetin’s lab studies have conclusively found bacteria and some superbugs are unable to resist the medicinal properties of honey.

“It’s so exciting that honey has been around for thousands of years and the bacteria still have not learned ways to become resistant to it,” she told AAP after presenting her findings at the University of Technology Sydney during Science Week.

Dr Cokcetin has studied the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties in honey for more than 10 years.

“We showed that under conditions where you can very quickly get antibiotic resistance in the lab you still couldn’t see this honey resistance.

“We tested with different bugs, different kinds of honey and different antibiotics but the results were consistent.”

Dr Cokcetin is in the process of identifying the active properties in a sample study of more than 1000 varieties of honey.

TRIAL A Different factors including sugar content, PH levels and the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO) typically found in Manuka honey, all impact the way honey can be used as medicine.

As well as boosting healthy gut bacteria, honey has been proven to help chronic non-healing wounds.

Dr Cokcetin points to a case - one of many - of an 80-year-old patient with a chronic infection on her legs. The wounds resisted all treatment and her doctor was prepared to amputate. As a last-ditch effort, her nurse suggested the topical application of medical-grade honey and the infection cleared up in 10 weeks.

“In this woman’s case, the honey literally saved her limbs.”

68-year-old beekeeper from New Zealand unwittingly imported cocaine into Australia after he was tricked by a criminal enterprise who targeted him online, a Perth court has heard.

Roy Arbon flew from Brazil, via Dubai, to Perth in February last year and was found at the airport with 2.5 kilograms of 79 per cent-pure cocaine hidden inside the lining of his suitcase.

His defence counsel told the District Court of WA on Monday her client was a good man who had fallen victim to online scams in recent years and was seeking loans for his organic honey business, not knowing the people who duped him were involved in drug trafficking.

Breast implantrelated cancer cases rise

VENEZUELA ZOO ANIMALS ‘STOLEN FOR FOOD’

V

enezuela authorities are investigating the theft of animals from a zoo that were likely snatched to be eaten, a further sign of hunger in a country struggling with chronic food shortages.

Two collared peccaries, which look like boars, were stolen at the weekend from the Zulia Metropolitan Zoological Park in the city of Maracaibo.

“What we presume is that they (were taken) with the intention of eating them,” Luis Morales, police say.

The collapse of the country’s socialist economic model has created chronic food shortages that have fuelled malnutrition and left millions seeking food anywhere they can find it.

President Nicolas Maduro blames food shortages on opposition protests that have blocked streets and highways and a broader “economic war” led by adversaries with the help of Washington.

But zoo head Leonardo Nunez said a wave of thefts - which in recent weeks had affected 10 species including a buffalo that was cut into pieces - was orchestrated by “drug dealers” seeking to sell the animals.

Mauricio Castillo, a former zoo director, said thieves had made off with two tapirs, a jungle animal that is also similar to a pig and described as vulnerable to extinction.

he number of Australian women diagnosed with a rare but deadly form of blood cancer linked to breast implants has risen, leading to calls from health experts for greater awareness.

Last year the Therapeutic Goods Administration confirmed 46 cases of breast implant-associated (BIA) ALCL, including three deaths.

The number of cases has since risen to 53, according to a paper published in the Medical Journal of Australia.

Professor Sanchia Aranda, CEO of the Cancer Council Australia, says while the risk is low it’s important that women who’ve had breast enhancement to clarify with their surgeon the type of implants used.

“Analysis shows that there is a link between a particular type of breast implants with an either textured or polyurethane surface and anaplastic large cell lymphoma,” said Prof Aranda.

“Women who are concerned about their breast implants may wish to speak to their surgeon to verify what type of implant they have,” she added.

According to the MJA paper, all the cases of BIA ALCL occurred three to 14 years after implantation in women with exposure to implants with surface rendering that was either textured or polyurethane.

There have been none so far recorded in women who had implants with smooth surfaces, the authors explained.

The risk of developing this type of cancer remains relatively low - between one-in-1000 or onein-10,000 women.

However the risk associated with textured or polyurethane implants is around 10 times higher - one-in- 4000 to one-in-7000 - compared with smoother implants.

Professor Aranda says women who notice any changes to their breasts should see their doctor straight away.

The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic

Surgeons has joined the calls for greater vigilance.

“All women with implants who note changes in their breasts should seek advice,” a joint statement on Monday said.

Symptoms of the disease include swelling, pain or enlargement, “Breast implant associated-Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare cancer that can be effectively treated if detected early,” the statement said.

THE FACTS •B IA-ALCL is a cancer of lymphatic cells and a form of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma • I t is not a breast cancer • I t occurs in association with breast implants and to date exclusively with exposure to textured implants • I t takes an average of 7-10 years after implant surgery before it develops • I f caught early it can be cured with surgery

within weeks, the federal government says.

Human Services Minister Alan Tudge on Thursday introduced legislation to extend two existing trials and expand the program to other sites.

He told parliament the cards had proven effective in Western Australia’s East Kimberley and Ceduna in South Australia, with a recent review finding alcohol consumption, illegal drug use and gambling had fallen.

The cards quarantine 80 per cent of welfare payments

Mr Tudge told MPs. “Now there’s an opportunity to expand the cashless debit card to new locations.”

Many communities have expressed interest in having the card introduced into their regions and consultations have already begun, he said.

The new legislation removes the limit of three trial sites and end date of June 30, 2018.

Parliament, however, will retain oversight in terms of new locations, cohorts and timing.

Defence shield: ‘It can’t be off a shelf’ Thousands of Aussies

WANT TO BE SPIES E

ver dreamt of being a spy?

It seems you’re not alone.

Almost 20,000 people applied for work at Australia’s domestic intelligence agency last year - but only a few hundred had any success.

ASIO ran 54 recruitment campaigns throughout 2015 and 2016, spending nearly $800,000 on advertising, a new parliamentary committee report reveals.

It received 12,997 applications, from which 278 candidates were either given a job or placed in a merit pool.

On top of that, more than 6500 applications were submitted to ASIO’s online employment register, with people selected for a variety of vacancies.

ASIO has 1880 staff, 45 per cent of them women.

uying a defence missile shield to protect Australia from North Korean intercontinental ballistic missiles is more complicated than grocery shopping, the federal government warns.

Former prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott have called for Australia to get a shield, similar to America’s THAAD system.

But Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne shot down the prospects of acquiring a system as he toured defence contractor Raytheon Australia in Canberra on Monday.

It would potentially take seven to 10 years to build and cost in the tens of billions of dollars, he said.

The government earlier this year commissioned Raytheon to develop a short-range system to protect deployed troops at the cost of more than $1 billion.

But Mr Pyne said if the government did invest in a longer-range system it would

The report, tabled in parliament on Tuesday, also noted the increased level of threat to personal safety of ASIO staff.

In its submission, the agency said reporting of suspicious activities and behaviours in and around ASIO premises had risen.

It has introduced new stafftracking and duress alert technologies to support operatives, enhanced security measures at its headquarters - including more armed AFP officers - and a suite of improved safety and security training.

be at the expense of other defence investments.

“Saying we need an intercontinental ballistic missiles defence shield is an easy thing to say,” Mr Pyne told reporters.

“It’s not like heading down to Woolworths and purchasing it off the shelf.”

Mr Pyne insisted the threat posed by North Korea was not at a point where he was receiving advice the government needed to change its military investment plans.

Over the weekend, North Korea fired three short range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan which travelled about 250km.

Mr Pyne cut a virtual ribbon for Raytheon Australia’s whizz bang 320-degree cave of 72 screens.

Houston braces for ‘unprecedented’ rain C

atastrophic flooding triggered by Tropical Storm Harvey has inundated Houston, forcing residents of the fourth most populous US city to flee their homes in boats or hunker down in anticipation of more days of

“unprecedented” rainfall.

Harvey came ashore late on Friday as the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in more than 50 years and has killed at least two people.

The death toll is expected to rise as the storm triggers additional tidal surges and tornadoes, with parts of the region expected to see a year’s worth of rainfall in the space of a week.

The storm caused chest-deep flooding on some streets in Houston as rivers and channels overflowed their banks.

More than 76cm of rain had fallen in parts of Houston in the past 48 hours, the National Weather Service said on Sunday, adding more was on the way.

“What we’re seeing is the most devastating flood event in Houston’s recorded history.

Sewing s Machine

Sales, Service . & Accessories Top Brands Great Prices.

We’re seeing levels of rainfall that are unprecedented,” said Steve Bowen, chief meteorologist at reinsurance firm Aon Benfield.

Total rain could reach 1.27m in some coastal areas of Texas by the end of the week or the average rainfall for an entire year.

Harvey was downgraded to a tropical storm on Saturday because its winds had slowed but days of torrential rain are forecast.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott told a news conference that new tornado warnings were expected later on Sunday.

President Donald Trump plans to go to Texas on Tuesday to survey damage from the storm, a White House spokeswoman said on Sunday.

The storm struck at the heart of the country’s oil and gas industry, forcing operators to close several refineries and evacuate and close offshore platforms.

The Gulf is home to about nearly half of the nation’s refining capacity and the reduced supply could affect petrol supplies across the US southeast and other parts of the country.

The swift rise of floods

surprised authorities and Houston residents with boats were asked to help with rescues.

Emergency services told the city’s 2.3 million inhabitants to climb onto the roofs of houses, if necessary, to escape the water.

People in Houston and other areas of Texas were asked not to leave their homes, even if they flooded, as roads were impassable.

Harvey slammed into Texas as a category 4 hurricane with winds of 210km/h, making it the strongest storm to hit the state since 1961.

Harvey ripped off roofs, destroyed buildings, flooded coastal towns and had cut off power to about 280,000 people in Texas as of Sunday.

The size and strength of Harvey dredged up memories of Katrina, the 2005 hurricane that killed 1800 people in a disaster made worse by a slow government emergency response.

Trump, facing the first big US natural disaster since he took office in January, signed a disaster proclamation on Friday, triggering federal relief efforts.

MORE GUN CHARGES OVER BRIGHTON SIEGE O ne of four Melbourne men accused of supplying guns to Brighton siege terrorist Yacqub Khayre has been charged with further firearms offences.

George Matte-Hado, 37, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

He has been charged with an additional four offences over his alleged role in arming Khayre.

“It was found the firearm used in Brighton, the one allegedly sold by Matte-Hado,

was in fact a handgun,” police prosecutor Senior Constable Chris Govic told the court.

Khayre used a sawn-off, double-barrelled shotgun to shoot police, and had another firearm with him.

The 29-year-old, who claimed allegiance to Islamic State, injured three police officers before he was shot dead.

Matte-Hado allegedly sold the double-barrelled shotgun for $2000 to a middleman in the car park of a housing estate in May.

Jack Bobridge charged with drug offences

D

uel Olympic silver medal cyclist Jack Bobridge has appeared in a Perth court charged with drug offences.

The 28-year-old appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday charged with five counts of drug possession and another count of possessing MDMA with the intent to sell or supply.

The three-time Olympian was charged after police searched a Yokine home and North Perth business on Wednesday as part of an operation targeting drug dealing at licensed venues in Perth’s entertainment district.

Bobridge retired from professional cycling late last year due to rheumatoid arthritis.

Over his career, the cyclist also claimed three world championship gold medals and broke the individual pursuit world record in 2011.

Bobridge left professional team Trek-Segafredo in September after winning silver in the Rio Olympics.

VIC ANTI-VAXX DOCTOR VERGES ON SUSPENSION A

Melbourne GP who bragged about getting hundreds of children to dodge vaccinations has one week to explain to the health watchdog why he should not be suspended.

Dr John Piesse was on Thursday notified by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency that it was looking to suspend his medical registration, he told Fairfax Media.

When a practitioner is notified of such a move, they have one week to argue their case.

Dr Piesse, who works at the Natural Healing Centre in Mitcham and the Natural Institute of Integrative Medicine in Hawthorn, boasted at an anti-vaccination rally that he got hundreds of children exempted from the “no jab-no play” laws.

He’s been under investigation

by AHPRA since 2016.

Both state and federal health ministers came out on Thursday calling for AHPRA to throw the book at Dr Piesse.

“Practitioners who pedal lies and misinformation about

immunisation are a menace and put the health and safety of children at great risk - they must be stopped,” Acting Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley said.

MISSION TARGETS SITES OF PAST MARTIAN LIFE

A

n American mission to Mars will focus on three key areas where alien life may once have thrived and gather samples to be returned to Earth, scientists have been told.

The Mars 2020 mission will launch a rover to the Red Planet in three years time to look for chemical relics of Martian bugs.

ExoMars Rover, a European mission also launching in 2020, will use similar techniques to search for life biosignatures.

However the Nasa craft will also collect 30 to 40 rock samples and seal them in titanium tubes on the Martian surface for future retrieval.

Deputy project scientist Dr Ken Williford was speaking at the Goldschmidt Conference geochemistry meeting in Paris, France.

He said: “Mars 2020 represents a crucial first step towards a possible Mars sample return.

“Our objective is to collect a diverse set of samples from

our landing site with the best potential to preserve records of the evolution of Mars - including the presence of life if it was there.

“We’ll use our onboard instruments to provide the critical field context that future scientists would need to understand the measurements made back on Earth.”

Potential landing sites for Mars 2020 have been whittled down to three, said Dr Williford.

One site at Columbia Hills in Gusev crater was previously visited by the Nasa Spirit rover and features silica deposits thought to be evidence of hydrothermal springs, which on Earth are havens for life.

The two other sites are located close together on the edge of Isidis Planitia, one of the largest and oldest impact craters in the solar system.

Northeast Syrtis contains ancient exposed Martian crust that bears signs of alteration in the presence of liquid water.

Scientists believe the site could have hosted sub-surface life.

The remaining site, Jezero crater, is thought to be the location of an ancient river delta and lake which could have been a prime spot for living organisms.

Dr Williford added: “We’ve got some hard decisions in front of us.

“Because of the possibility of sample return, the selected site could have an outsized impact on the future of Mars science compared to a typical mission.

“We’ve been working hard to understand the scientific potential of the different sites and engaging the international scientific community for input on this

consequential choice.

“The team is extremely excited about the opportunity to bring a powerful new payload to the surface of Mars and produce some spectacular results wherever we end up.”

SA Police to get better eyes in the sky C

riminals on the run in South Australia won’t be able to hide under the cover of darkness thanks to new infra-red sensors fitted to police helicopters.

The new technology will also help find people lost in difficult terrain and track stolen vehicles during high-risk pursuits.

The $4.6 million sensors provide high-definition images and can be combined with mapping technology, allowing aircrews to co-ordinate ground resources to precise locations.

They were fitted to police helicopters recently and have now been added to the state’s rescue choppers.

“This upgrade complements recent investments such as the

new firearms simulator, facial recognition technology and body-worn cameras, “ Police Minister Peter Malinauskas said recently.

The new system replaces less sophisticated cameras which are around 20 years old.

Superintendent David O’Donovan said the new technology meant the SA police and rescue helicopters were among the most mission-capable in the world.

“This technology enhances our search and rescue capabilities and provides state-of-the-art operational options with regard to the tracking and locating of offenders,” Superintendent O’Donovan said.

PALASZCZUK BACKS BATTERY FACTORY PLAN

Robot to search Antarctic icy depths T

The world-class vehicle forms part of a $24 million research initiative, partly funded by the federal government’s Australian Research Council, to investigate the role Antarctica and the Southern Ocean play in the world’s climate.

The self-powered robot has been christened ‘nupiri muka’, meaning Eye of the Sea in the language of Tasmanian Aboriginals.

“Nupiri muka is the newest and one of the most capable AUVs in the world for use under sea ice and ice shelves,” AMC Principal Professor Neil Bose said.

“It will allow us to further build our global reputation for engineering in extreme environments, and help foster strong ties with the international research community.”

The craft’s customised frame makes it ideal for navigating through challenging under-ice conditions, and can travel more than 140km or for 24 hours on a single battery charge.

The new research tool is due on its maiden Antarctic mission by 2018 or 2019, but must first pass a second series of practice trials off the Tasmanian coast.

Wahlberg proved you can collect big bank by making critically panned films like maligned sequels Transformers: The Last Knight and Daddy’s Home 2.

“Markie Mark is officially Richie Rich,” Forbes announced on Tuesday with the release of its annual Hollywood’s highest-paid leading man list.

Eddie Murphy dragged into Mel B’s divorce

E

ddie Murphy will be dragged into Mel B’s bitter divorce battle if her estranged husband seeks visitation of the actor’s daughter with the former Spice Girl.

A judge in Los Angeles on Thursday ruled Stephen Belafonte could apply for access to 10-year-old Angel as a step-parent, in a move that would allow the Hollywood actor to join the legal battle.

Susan Wiesner, representing the Leeds-born singer, real name Melanie Brown, pleaded for the girl’s involvement to be kept private to prevent the case further descending into a media “circus”.

Wiesner said: “We have got another parent here, we have got Eddie Murphy.

“If the court’s going to give him notice of proceedings and embroiling him in litigation, then we are putting his little girl in the middle of this media firestorm.”

She asked for the girl, who Murphy, 54, and Brown, 42, had during their brief relationship, to remain “the last one in this family that can have protection and privacy”.

Michael Hanasab, for Belafonte, argued his client has raised the girl since infancy and said she already lacks privacy because she is “paraded around” on US celebrity news website TMZ. Los Angeles Superior Court’s Judge Lawrence

Riff granted Belafonte’s request to submit papers allowing him to apply for visitation in the future.

“Mr Murphy is entitled to be joined as a party as soon as Mr Belafonte seeks any visitation with Angel,” he added.

Mother-of-three Brown alleges Belafonte, 42, with whom she has daughter Madison, tormented her with years of physical and mental abuse.

The hearings have been damaging so far for both sides, with the court being told Brown has “wiped out” her $US50 million Spice Girls fortune after leading an “extravagant” lifestyle.

Belafonte, who has already failed to win temporary rights over Angel, has dismissed Brown’s claims as false - with his lawyers describing them as “nothing more than a smear campaign”.

Brown, now a judge on America’s Got Talent, married the film producer in Las Vegas in June 2007. She was also a judge previously on Australia’s X Factor.

She filed for divorce on March 20, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

Another hearing in the case is set for Friday, with a full divorce hearing scheduled to begin on September 25.

The veteran Australian musicians will play on Hobart’s Wrest Point lawns on Wednesday, November 22.

was demolished.

They were the last Australian band to play at the venue, with frontman Jimmy Barnes saying they would “tear the place to the ground”.

It was also where the band played their final gigs in 1983 before not playing together for 15 years.

After Hobart the rockers will travel to Newcastle to headline the Supercar championships on Saturday, November 25 alongside Spiderbait and Delta Goodrem.

With a career spanning 40 years and 6.9 million albums sold in Australia, the band were

honoured with the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music at the APRA awards last year.

TAYLOR SWIFT RELEASES NEW SONG

Y

ou can finally shake it off: Taylor Swift has released her new single.

The 27-year-old singer dropped the upbeat song “Look What You Made Me Do” late Thursday to streaming platforms and iTunes. The song with sharp lyrics features elements of pop, dance and house.

The anticipation of the song helped Swift trend heavily on social media. The song is the first single from her sixth album, “Reputation,” to be released November 10. A clip on the song’s video will premiere Friday on “Good Morning America.”

Swift wiped her social media pages clean last week and caused a frenzy online with video snippets of slithery snake parts.

The new song was written and produced by Swift and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, who performs in the bands Bleachers and fun.

POLANSKI VICTIM’S BID TO END CASE REJECTED

A

Los Angeles judge has denied the impassioned plea of Roman Polanski’s victim to end the criminal case against the fugitive director.

Judge Scott Gordon on Friday ruled that Polanski must appear in a Los Angeles court if he expects to have his fourdecade-old case resolved.

Gordon’s ruling follows a request by Samantha Geimer to end a “40-year sentence” she says was imposed on both perpetrator and victim.

Polanski pleaded guilty to having unlawful sex with Geimer when she was 13. He fled the country on the eve of sentencing in 1978.

Polanski’s attorneys have failed to persuade judges to sentence him in absentia for the 42 days he was incarcerated for psychological testing before he fled.

Geimer has long supported Polanski’s efforts but made her plea in court for the first time in June.

food | drink French oysters on sale in vending machines

I

n a change from chocolates and champagne, the French are starting to offer fresh oysters from vending machines in the hope of selling more of the delicacy outside business hours.

One pioneer is Tony Berthelot, an oyster farmer whose automatic dispenser of live oysters on the Ile de Re island off France’s western coast offers a range of quantities, types and sizes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

French oyster farmers are following in the footsteps of other producers of fresh food who once manned stalls along roadsides for long hours but now uses machines.

“We can come at midnight if we want, if we have a craving for oysters. It’s excellent; they’re really fresh,” Christel Petinon, a 45-year-old oyster lover holidaying on the island, told Reuters.

The Ile de Re’s refrigerated dispenser, one of the first and with glass panels so customers can see what they are buying, is broadly similar to those that offer snacks and drinks at railway stations and office buildings worldwide.

Customers use their bank card for access, opening the door of their choice from a range of carton sizes and oyster types.

Berthelot, 30 years an oyster farmer, sees it as an extra source of revenue rather than an alternative to normal points of sale like food markets, fishmongers and supermarkets.

“We felt as though we were losing lots of sales when we are closed,” he said.

“There was a cost involved when buying this machine, of course, but we’re paying it back in instalments ... And today, in theory, we can say that the calculations are correct and it’s working.”

Selling oysters from a machine bets on more than just open-mindedness among consumers. Live molluscs not kept cool enough or stored too long out of seawater can cause food poisoning when opened.

The Berthelots say the machine has an appeal to a younger generation accustomed to buying on the internet and unperturbed by the absence of a shopkeeper.

Gourmet Farmer plates up a new challenge

I

n the first season of Gourmet Farmer, Matthew Evans had a simple dream: to run his own farm in Tasmania.

The former Sydney Morning Herald food critic allowed cameras to document his move from big-city life to rural Tassie, running a farm for the first time.

Then he met his partner Sadie, they had a son, Hedley, and the farm had to get bigger - two pigs became 22 and season two was born.

By season three, things got a whole lot more ambitious and the family had taken up residence on the bigger Fat Pig Farm.

Now, season four, the goal is even bigger as Evans pursues his dream to open a restaurant on Fat Pig Farm.

The cameras followed the family for nearly two years as they made this dream a reality for the SBS series.

“It’s quite funny it’s like our holiday pics sometimes, and my son sometimes likes to watch old episodes,” he said.

Evans combines the TV work, making Gourmet Farmer and several documentary projects, with farm work, writing recipes, making appearances at Hobart’s Salamanca Market to sell Fat Pig Farm produce and making and selling bacon.

On top of all that, they’ve decided to open a restaurant.

“I’d had this idea in my head but I was a bit clueless about what it might entail,” he said.

“We bought this property and thought ‘oh we could

probably do something here’ but we didn’t really know how hard that might be in terms of the cost of the infrastructure and the length of the time to build it, the hoops that we would have to go through to get it done. We were quite naive about what it might take.”

To say the show captures some trials and tribulations is an understatement. There are building delays, extra costs and some things that were truly out of their hands, all captured for the whole country to see.

“It was a pretty wet year so we were sort of battling to build a wood oven at the worst time of year in the worst weather to build a wood oven. And I guess there’s a bit of frustration in how long it took to open, we were probably seven months late by the time we opened,” he said.

It’s been a long and eventful road to get to that place where their focus is now on the customer.

And it’s all been documented for them as the series kicks off again for its fourth season, serving as a reminder in case they ever want to take something like this on again.

“In terms of new projects for us, I’m not sure we’ll be rushing into anything,” he said. “Certainly nothing as grandiose as this.” *Gourmet Farmer airs on Thursdays at 8pm (AEST) on SBS and is also available on SBS OnDemand Catchup TV.

Wine study aims to end cork-or-cap debate

B

ritish scientists could soon provide a definitive answer to the years-long debate over whether wine tastes better from a cork or screw cap bottle.

Members of the public can take part in the Oxford University experiment that is using brain-scanning technology to test how the sounds, aromas and sensations associated with opening a wine bottle influence their taste buds.

Researchers will also fit participants with brainscanning headwear, monitoring their pleasure receptors as they take part in a further series of tests.

The experiment aims to end years of debate among the wine industry and consumers

alike about which method produces the best taste.

The most widely held opinion so far seems to be that no closure - natural or synthetic cork, screw cap or even the latest screw cork - is perfect.

Professor Charles Spence, head of experimental psychology at the Crossmodal Research Laboratory, said the experiment marked the first effort by scientists to definitively prove which closure provided the most positive drinking experience.

“Our brains have a powerful hold over our taste buds, and it will be interesting to see the differing effects the multi-sensory aspects of wine drinking have on our perception of taste,” he said.

“This is a debate that has

“This ia a Debate that has been ongoing in the Wine Industry for many years”

been ongoing in the wine industry for many years and we hope this trial will go some way to providing a definitive answer to this

fascinating question.”

The live experiment ran from July 28 to July 29 in London’s Soho and the results will be released later this year.

Compliments pay when it comes to food

P

aying compliments pays off, at least when it comes to fast food, Austrian economists have found in a study that involved buying 100 cones of ice cream and 800 kebab wraps.

The Innsbruck University researchers sent several people to fast food restaurants over a series of days to buy soft serve ice cream, the university said.

To measure the effect of praise and recognition in

consumer interactions, the experimenters ended their order with the sentence “You have the best ice cream in town.”

They then left the shop to weigh their serving with a small scale.

They found that the praise got them 10 per cent more ice cream on average than when they ordered without paying a compliment.

Instead of praise, the researchers also tried tipping

the salesperson at the time of ordering.

This increased the serving by an average of 17 per cent, but after accounting for the tip, the actual value increase was only 7 per cent.

Praising and tipping kebab vendors brought similar results.

Over several days, customers who paid compliments got continuously growing portions that ended up being bigger than the ones that were only

accompanied by tips.

Lead author Michael Kirchler said his study showed that “there is a tendency to underestimate immaterial incentives such as recognition and praise and to overestimate monetary incentives.”

To reach their findings, the experimenters did not have to gorge on fast food, but they gave most of the ice cream to passers-by and the kebab to a charity.

taking the festival into some towns and venues that we have never played at before – look out, it is going to rock!”

After a sell-out run in the 2017 Red Hot Summer Tour, John Farnham – the voice of the Australian music industry returns for 2018. Revered as one of the best male vocalists – by both fans and fellow musicians – he has had an incredibly versatile career.

His 1986 album Whispering Jack was the first record to sell over a million copies ....continued in Australia and its chart topping single You’re The Headlined by the ‘voice’ Voice cemented the honey of Australian music, John Farnham, with special guests toned solo artist as the ‘voice’ of the country. Over the next Daryl Braithwaite, Baby several years he released hit Animals, The Black Sorrows (with Vika and Linda) & 1927. after hit, including Pressure Shows in the first run – which Down, Reasons, A Touch of Paradise, Age of Reason, was announced earlier in Two Strong Hearts, Angels, the year featuring headliner Talk of The Town, Chain Queen of rock Suzi Quatro Reaction, Burn For You, – have already sold-out, or Have A Little Faith (In Us) are almost at capacity. This and That’s Freedom to name second all-Australian line-up is guaranteed to sell-out well a few. Audiences will have the chance to celebrate five before 2018. decades of great music when Promoter Duane McDonald John takes to the stage on says the return of John the 2018 run.

Farnham as a headliner A long-time supporter of on the Red Hot Summer the Red Hot Summer Tour, Tour is by popular demand.

“Audiences loved seeing John Daryl Braithwaite puts on an incredible performance. He is Farnham as part of the 2017 sold out tour,” he says. We’ve one of the most recognisable joined together an incredible voices in the Australian music scene, and with a diverse Aussie line-up, some artists career that has spanned who have been part of the Red Hot Summer Tour family decades. Daryl’s consistency for a long time and some who as a performer has never wavered, something that sees we are newly welcomed to him performing regularly to the stage. It is going to be packed crowds around the a massive summer! We are

country. Starting his career in the 1970s as the front man for Sherbet, Daryl was crowned King of Pop and the band produced 20 national Top 40 singles. In the 1980’s Daryl set out on his own solo career, releasing smash hit singles such as One Summer, As The Days Go By and Sugar Train to name a few. His anthemic version of The Horses is always a crowd-pleaser and a favourite for Red Hot Summer Tour fans.

Baby Animals burst onto the Australian scene in the 1990s with a solid rock force and a sassy lead singer. Suze DeMarchi proved that girls could rock just as hard as guys and the Baby Animals soon kicked some impressive rock butt with hits such as Rush You, Early Warning and One Word. The band scored themselves ARIA awards for best album and toured the globe. When they split in the mid-1990s they ended a special era of Australian music. The band’s inclusion again on the Red Hot Summer Tour line-up is a rare chance for music fans to see their original rock at its best.

Another icon of Australian music, Joe Camilleri, will be bringing his legendary band The Black Sorrows to the 2018 line-up. An incredible songwriter, Joe penned some unforgettable hits with The Black Sorrows, from tracks like Harley & Rose, Dear Children, The Chosen Ones, Never Let Me Go and Chained to the Wheel to Hold On

To Me and New Craze. Any live show is guaranteed to get audiences on their feet dancing. After the success of his first band Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons, Joe pulled together a group of musicians and launched The Black Sorrows. Since then, the band have sold more than a million albums worldwide, toured Europe (to sell-out shows) and won an ARIA for Best Band. The Black Sorrows, with Vika and Linda, will certainly put on a party for the Red Hot Summer Tour.

As a band, 1927 are known for their enduring hits – with a swag of classics such as That’s When I Think Of You, Compulsory Hero, To Love Me, Don’t Forget Me and If I Could, to name a few. They smashed onto the music scene with their quintuple platinum debut Ish in 1988, garnering themselves multiple ARIA awards. With countless live performances, 1927 have reached legendary status and their most recent release – Generation i – has earned them a whole new legion of fans. Their inclusion on the 2018 Red Hot Summer Tour is an exciting one indeed.

Brimstone rain a hellish end for dinosaurs D

inosaurs met a hellish end as fiery brimstone rained down from the sky and broiled the Earth’s surface after a massive asteroid struck the planet.

The biblical horror continued with billions of tonnes of soot from the fires blotting out the sun and plunging the Earth into icy darkness for nearly two years, new research has shown.

In addition, large-scale destruction of the protective ozone layer high in the atmosphere led to DNAdamaging levels of ultraviolet radiation.

By the end of the disaster, known as the K-Pg extinction, more than three quarters of species on Earth, including all the dinosaurs that did not evolve into birds, had been wiped out.

Scientists recreated the nightmarish aftermath of the meteor strike 66 million years ago using powerful computer simulations and evidence from the estimated 15 billion tonnes of fine soot left behind by the cataclysm.

The 10-kilometre wide space rock smashed into a shallow sea off Mexico’s Yucatan peninsular, triggering earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and, worst of all, a burning rain of incandescent rock particles that ignited raging global fires.

Soot from the fires swept up into the atmosphere by air currents blocked out 99 per cent of the sun’s light for around 18 months, making every day as dark as a moonlit night.

During this time average temperatures plummeted by 28C on land and 20C in the oceans and surviving plant life deprived of photosynthesis perished.

Lead scientist Dr Charles Bardeen, from the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research, said: “The extinction of many of the large animals on land could have been caused by the immediate aftermath of the impact, but animals that lived in the oceans or those that could burrow underground or slip underwater temporarily could have survived.

“Our study picks up the story after the initial effects after the earthquakes and the tsunamis and the broiling. We wanted to look at the long-term consequences of the amount of soot we think was created and what those consequences might have meant for the animals that were left.”

The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, raises the frightening prospect of what might happen to the Earth after a global nuclear war.

FOUR ADDED TO THE LION PRIDE AT VIC ZOO

T

he pride at a Melbourne Zoo has grown by four after a lioness gave birth to a litter of ferocious fluff balls.

Lioness Nilo gave birth to her brood in quick succession in the early hours of last Saturday at Werribee Open Range Zoo. They are off display in a special nesting den, with vets and keepers monitoring them via video camera.

“The team are pleased to see lioness Nilo recovering well following the birth, attentively

feeding and grooming the cubs,” the zoo said in a statement.

“It’s very important that Nilo has a secluded space to bond with and to care for her cubs during these first few weeks.”

The gender of the cubs will be determined at about six weeks of age.

Born after a gestation of three months, lion cubs are particularly vulnerable at birth - they don’t open their eyes at about 10 days or become mobile until three weeks.

Meet Reed

I’m devilishly handsome and have big brown eyes that make the ladies go weak at the knees.

I’d like to live in a home with no other pets, but kids that weren’t too little would be cool to play with. I’m quite the athlete, so if there’s someone who’s looking for a jogging companion then I’m definitely your man. I promise I won’t ever complain about the weather or fake an injury just because I feel like a sleep-in – so long as I have company I’ll always be ready for a new adventure.

GEMINI Helping others will score points for you but not to the extent of letting them suck up a lot of your energy.Bear in mind that “no” is a full sentence, Gemini. You need to create firm boundaries. If they truly care, they will understand that you’re dealing with a full plate.

CANCER This week revolves around proper planning, Cancer. Take your time to come up with a good strategy instead of jumping in. Fortunately, there’s a good trine between traditional Saturn and unconventional Uranus which combines the past and the future.

LEO The stars are in a position favourable to your career this week, Leo. The only question is how confident you are with your skills. Whether it’s about getting a business off the ground or moving up in the corporate ladder, the more you believe it’s yours, the more likely you’ll obtain it.

VIRGO Get ready for the spotlights, Virgo. People will begin to notice you at work and if you’re single and looking, your charm is extra addictive this week. The stars say that whatever opportunities come your way, they’re results of your hard work and you’re ready for them.

LIBRA Your mantra for this week should be: “I can do this.” This week brings a lot of opportunities and you have the tendency to see big results very fast. Don’t get overwhelmed, instead do some proper research, Libra. If there’s anything that you’ve learned from the past, that is it’s no fun to live in fear.

SCORPIO This week challenges you to come up with actionable steps to get back on top of things, Scorpio. Dreaming is fine but reckless behaviour isn’t. Desires don’t always have to be fulfilled because sometimes the risks are just too big.

SAGITTARIUS You could be a bit weepy this week, Sagi, but that’s not a bad thing. You might find yourself staring sentimentally in front of you and you wonder how things have to go on with you and the rest of the world. The cosmos is focused on your psychological sector and it’s bringing back a lot of memories.

CAPRICORN This week calls for making most of your resources, Cap. There could be a lot that needs your attention and you could be overwhelmed. Use your network to help you out. There should be a couple of friends who’s willing to lend a hand. It’s never pleasant to lose something or someone but you can still learn a lesson from it: let it go!

AQUARIUS Let everything else be for a moment, Aquarius. Like the bird’s nest you will also create a pleasant place to live in. Mixed message can cause conflicts this week unless you make yourself clear. You’ve been kind not to hurt other people by beating around the bush hoping that they’ll be able to read between the lines but find that this approach does not work.

PISCES This is going to be a week full of variation, Pisces. Anything is possible: peaks, lows and something in between. While you have a lot of obligations on your plate, make it a point to take care of your needs to restore your vitality.

TAURUS Happiness can be found in a tiny corner. It doesn’t always have to be grand and spectacular, Taurus. Being open to the beauty around you makes you realize just how much abundance surrounds you. Your wishes reach out to infinity. That’s understandable because you only want the best of the best even though it often is unattainable.

War is its own punishment.

"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege."

NSW house prices push Aussies into flats C

limbing property prices and a growing demand to rent in NSW have boosted approvals for new medium density developments in the state, despite a slowing trend nationally.

Development approvals for units, townhouses and semidetached houses, grew almost six per cent in NSW for the year to March 2017, according to Bankwest’s Housing Density Report.

But nationally, approvals fell 6.5 per cent to 110,471, down from 118,156 in the previous corresponding period.

The report, which analyses approvals in medium and low density housing, also found Sydney was the only capital city to jump in approvals, increasing by 11.6 per cent in the year to March.

It also showed that over the longer term, in the five years to June 2016, NSW medium density stock grew by 14.7 per cent to 860,423.

Bankwest general manager broker sales Stewart Saunders says the growth highlights the

strong demand for property in Australia’s most populous state and its harbour-side city.

“The growth seen in Sydney and NSW shows the existence of a highly competitive property market there with price pressures creating continued opportunity for medium density housing in the city,” Mr Saunders said.

He said NSW’s population was having a direct impact on the housing stock.

In the five years to June 2016,

MATCHMAKING SITE FOR LONG-TERM VIC LEASES

V

ictorians looking for a serious relationship lasting longer than five years can find one online thanks to a government matchmaking service - for tenants and landlords.

Rental agreements of more than five years will be possible under reforms to residential tenancy laws being introduced into parliament this week.

An online matching service will also be created to connect landlords and tenants looking for longer leases.

“Right now, too many families are forced to move from house to house, year after year, because they can’t find a longterm lease,” Consumer Affairs

Minister Marlene Kairouz said on Tuesday.

“The new online matching service will connect tenants and landlords, making it easier for people interested in longterm leases to get the certainty they want.”

Funding of $1.25 million has been set aside for the reforms, which the government plans to have in place by the end of the year.

But opposition consumer affairs spokeswoman Emma Kealy said money was being wasted on a taxpayer-funded website that effectively mirrored the service provided by commercial real estate websites.

NSW’s population grew 8.1 per cent to almost 7.5 million and became home to more than 562,500 more residents.

Mr Saunders said despite the growth in NSW, nationally approvals took their biggest down turn in more than four years, driven by falls in Western Australia and Queensland.

The end of the resources boom and a slowing of WA’s population growth drove medium density building

approvals down 27.1 per cent, while Queensland’s surplus of apartment style accommodation pushed approvals 25.6 per cent lower.

Despite this, NSW only made up three of the top ten fastest growing local areas for medium density housing.

WA’s Cottesloe led the chart with more than half of all medium density housing approved in the area in the year to March, closely followed by Queensland’s Nerang.

HOME SALES AND PRICES PICK UP PACE

Activity in Australia’s housing market is picking up, with a rise in house prices across most capitals in the past week and a continuing climb in the number of auctions resulting in a sale.

Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth all recorded higher home values for the week ending August 13, while Brisbane crept lower recording a slight 0.1 per cent fall, according to data from property statistics firm CoreLogic.

Across the combined capital cities, preliminary auction clearance rates rose to 71.7 per cent, up on the first week of August when the final clearance rate was 67.5 per cent.

Among the recorded 2,041 capital city auctions - a single hammer fall down on week’s 2,040 auctions - Melbourne’s preliminary clearance rate was up to 77.7 per cent, while Sydney’s clearance rate also improved, up to 70.8 per cent.

FORD FOCUS RS LIMITED EDITION CONFIRMED FOR AUSTRALIA OFFERING AUSSIE ENTHUSIASTS THE DRIVER’S SEAT OF A HYPER HATCH

T

he Ford Focus RS Limited Edition has been confirmed for the Australian market in what will be one of the most capable, complete hyper hatches ever offered to performance customers locally. The upgrades for the RS Limited Edition are a direct result of customer feedback since the current Focus RS’s launch.

A batch of 500 Focus RS Limited Editions will begin arriving in November 2017, enabled by the strong appetite for the performance hyper HONDA CRV 4D WAGON 2000

hatch since its July 2016 launch.

Confirmation of the upgraded version of the Focus RS comes following a raft of media accolades both globally and locally, the most recent coming this week with the RS crowned MOTOR magazine’s 2017 Bang for Your Bucks Champion.

“Ford’s performance models are an important part of our line-up, and we’re excited to offer Australians an even more capable version of the Focus RS, which has struck a chord with driving enthusiasts across the country,” said Ford President

The sophisticated AWD system enables Dynamic Torque Vectoring, which means that the Focus RS can split its torque not only front-to-rear, but also sideto-side for unprecedented roadholding. The current RS was also the first to offer selectable drive modes that alter steering, engine and exhaust settings, as well as adjustable dampers and Launch Control.

The Ford Focus RS Limited Edition will be offered for a MLP of $56,990 with Australian deliveries commencing in November 2017.

SMITH SAYS SLATER KEEPING NRL FUTURE QUIET

T

hey have spent 15 NRL season togethers and even share a birthday but Melbourne skipper Cameron Smith says he doesn’t have a clue if Billy Slater will play on in 2018.

Slater only scored one try in Melbourne 64-6 romp over South Sydney but had a hand in many of the 10 others in another shining display.

The 34-year-old says he is still to make a decision on his playing future and hasn’t been giving any hints away, even to his best mate.

“It’s really hard to get any sort of indication on what he’s going to do,” Smith said.

“Some weeks he’s fine

and he gets around with a bounce in his step and other weeks he mopes around a bit because his body is bashed up.”

Smith, who is signed until the end of 2018, said he would love to have Slater alongside him for that season but didn’t expect the Test fullback to make a call any time soon.

“I don’t want to put any pressure on him as he’s given enough and done enough in the game and for this club to make a decision for him,” Smith said.

“We’d all love for him to play on, even fans of other teams love watching Billy play.”

FINALS TIME << cont. from front page...

COMBATING PACE WILL DECIDE ASHES: VAUGHAN

H

Ryan taking tips from Socceroos legend

A

few words of advice from Socceroos legend Mark Schwarzer have emboldened Mathew Ryan’s belief he belongs in the English Premier League.

Ryan is in Japan ahead of Thursday’s crucial World Cup qualifier at Saitama Stadium, having travelled straight to the airport after keeping his first clean sheet with new club Brighton and Hove Albion in a 0-0 draw against Watford.

The 25-year-old is three games into his career in England’s top flight and after facing scrutiny for a couple of minor ball-handling blunders, he reckons its cut-throat nature will make him a better player.

He also has the benefit of a direct line to Schwarzer, the former Middlesborough, Fulham, Chelsea and Leicester gloveman-turned-television pundit who has taken Ryan under his wing and told him everything he needs to know about the Premier League.

“It was nice to get an insight from him, obviously someone that has had experience at that level for many years,” Ryan told reporters in Tokyo.

“I’m doing my best to learn as

quickly as I can.

“It’s very helpful when you have someone like him giving you a few pointers - what to look out for, a lot of general things (like) the speed of the Premier League, the physicality, coming for crosses. I appreciate his advice.”

Ryan, who joined Brighton after he was frozen out of firstteam action at La Liga club Valencia, said there was no margin for error in England.

“The tiniest little things, you get punished for,” he said.

“I know mixing it against those sorts of players and teams, it raises your game that much more in order to stamp out those little blemishes.”

Ryan said he is taking great confidence into the Socceroos camp as the team reassembles for the first time since their gallant Confederations Cup campaign.

“The challenge is on us now to continue on from the progress we made,” he said.

“Knowing us as a playing group ... we try to sacrifice every aspect of our lives in order to have the best careers we can have and create the best moments we can.”

ow England’s batsmen fare against Australia’s pace attack could go a long way to determining the outcome of this summer’s Ashes, according to Michael Vaughan.

The 2005 Ashes-winning captain admitted he thought England would have “no chance” of retaining the urn a few months ago although he has been encouraged by their progress under Joe Root.

The trip is likely to be the toughest test of Root’s fledgling reign and Vaughan believes England’s hopes rest with their batsmen and whether they can combat Australia’s enviable battery of pace bowlers.

“I think they’ve got a chance,” he said. “I would have said four or five months ago ‘no chance’. But I just think they’ve found a bit of consistency.

“I think the arrival of Joe Root as a captain has certainly given them an edge, I think you need that. This England side have got pretty much everything covered.

It’s just whether the batting can cope with the pace of Australia.

“Can they bat against the pace and the bouncing ball, swinging Kookaburra ball for 20 overs?

Can they cope with that? “(Mitchell) Starc, ( Josh) Hazlewood, ( Jackson) Bird, ( James) Pattinson - and you’re looking at (Pat) Cummins coming back in to the Test team as well -

will bowl quicker than England, no question about that.

“They’ll bowl five or six miles an hour quicker and if the batsmen can cope with that and score 400-plus in the first innings on a regular basis then they’ll have a chance. If they can’t cope with the pace they’ll have no chance.”

While England’s twin batting pillars Alastair Cook and Root continue to churn out runs, the rest of the top order is far from solidified.

Mark Stoneman, Tom Westley and Dawid Malan have only two Tests against a weakened West Indies to nail down their spot for the first Ashes match in Brisbane on November 23.

Vaughan feels England have little choice.

“You’d want to know two games to go before an Ashes series pretty much 90 per cent of your squad,” he said. “Numbers two, three and five are still a little bit vulnerable.

“The problem with playing against the West Indies is they might only get one knock in each game, there might only be two knocks before the Ashes series is picked. I wouldn’t think that they can go and look elsewhere.

“I would think that the majority of the squad is now and should be pretty much gearing towards what they’re going to do in Australia.”

HEAVY TENNIS SCHEDULE

“Most of the injuries in tennis are what are classified as overuse,” Todd Ellenbecker, the ATP’s vice president of medical services said.

“Not one particular force or trauma but a continued, repeated, overload of smaller forces that lead to a breakdown in the player’s body.”

Five top 11 men’s players are little down time for anyone among those who have said they who wants to be a regular will miss the year’s final grand competitor during the ATP slam, starting Monday in New and WTA seasons, which last York: former world No.1 and twoapproximately 11 and 10 months, time champion Djokovic (elbow), respectively.

UFC STAR MCGREGOR EYES MORE MONEY FIGHTS

C

onor McGregor was exhausted and hurt by the 10th round, his audacious venture undone by every logical problem with a mixed martial artist entering a professional boxing ring for the first time to take on the most accomplished boxer of recent years.

Yet he lasted longer and fought more competitively against Floyd Mayweather than just about anyone expected.

McGregor was gracious and analytical afterward, but he was bothered by one aspect of his defeat -- referee Robert Byrd’s seemingly wise decision to stop the bout while McGregor was still on his wobbly legs.

“Let the man put me down,” the Irishman said.

Even though he didn’t get his wish to taste the canvas, McGregor left the Vegas ring with his honour intact and he can go just about anywhere he wants

from here.

“I’ll see what’s next, but I’m open,” McGregor said.

“I love a good fight, and tonight was a damn good fight.

“I can’t tell you exactly what’s next, but something will be next.”

After hanging in there against Mayweather, McGregor is in an unprecedented position as a huge draw in two combat sports.

McGregor will make no decisions before his upcoming yachting holiday in Ibiza, but he certainly doesn’t seem eager to limit himself to one sport.

“I believe I’ll do it again,” McGregor said of boxing, before immediately adding: “I’m looking forward to kicking something again.

“I’m also looking forward to grappling. I’m looking forward to getting back in and having a good, solid knock again.”

The UFC wants its biggest star back in the octagon quickly.

Yet the UFC also just made untold millions from McGregor’s dalliance with boxing.

UFC president Dana White realises McGregor will be impressed by boxing money and says he is willing to write a cheque that will keep McGregor in the cage.

“I would rather he did not (box again),” White said.

“This is not what he does. He is a mixed martial artist.”

A trilogy fight with Nate Diaz is an obvious choice for McGregor’s next UFC fight after their two crowd-pleasing brawls in 2016, but it would more likely be at the lightweight limit of 155 pounds, not the 170-pound welterweight mark at which they fought the first two times last year.

Other possible UFC opponents include the winner of the interim lightweight title fight between Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee in October.

McGregor also has said he would like to fight No.1 lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov in a major UFC event in Russia.

If it’s boxing again, a fight with his retired sparring partner Paulie Malignaggi seems logical.

No matter what he decides, McGregor has established himself as a major sports icon and he intends to cash in on that success.

“I’m young, I’m fit and I’m fresh,” McGregor said.

“I’ll continue to get better, and I’ll continue to make adjustments that I learned from this fight to make myself a better fighter.

“I always have, and I always will.”

(hip), 2016 champion Wawrinka (knee), Canada’s Milos Raonic (wrist) and Japan’s Kei Nishikori (wrist).

The women’s draw has not been robbed of the same level of star power with the most highprofile withdrawal due to injury being 2011 US Open champion Samantha Stosur (hand). Sixtime champion Serena Williams is absent due to pregnancy.

With a non-stop stream of tournaments on hard courts, grass and clay, coupled with racquet technology that allows players to hit the ball harder than ever before, the physical toll on bodies mounts up.

“Tennis is indeed unique in that it is one of the only high level sports played on multiple surfaces at the elite level,” said Ellenbecker. “We know that different ball speeds, and trajectories-court surface interfaces do affect the player’s body. However, definitive injury risk research is scant.”

Ellenbecker said after matches, a player’s focus shifts immediately from performance to recovery sessions.

Bill Norris, the ATP’s former

director of medical services who spent 35 years patching up the broken and sore bodies Ken Rosewall to Roger Federer, said players have little choice but to pace themselves by taking regular breaks if they want to stay competitive late in their careers.

“Federer has changed a lot of coaches, but he’s kept a great team around him,” said Norris.

“By (age) 30-35 you know what your body is capable of, what the competition is capable of. If you schedule yourself right and pace yourself you will have some reserve.”

The run enjoyed by Federer and 37-year-old American Venus Williams, a finalist at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, has prompted many to ask whether a 40-year could soon walk off with one of the four grand slam titles.

“From a truly anatomical standpoint, the work the players are doing now to maintain elite levels of human performance well into their 30s it is indeed possible and perceivable that we might see champions at this level among players in their 40s,” said Ellenbecker.

GINOBILI RETURNING FOR 16TH NBA SEASON S

an Antonio Spurs secured the services of Australian point guard Patty Mills in July and now they’ve locked up veteran Manu Ginobili for a 16th NBA season.

The Spurs re-signed the 40-year-old Argentine guard on Thursday. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Ginobili will become the eighth player in NBA history to spend his entire career with one team and play at least 16 seasons, joining Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, John

Stockton, Reggie Miller and John Havlicek.

Ginobili averaged 7.5 points, 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 69 games last season.

In 992 career regular-season games, he has averaged 13.6 points, 3.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds.

The four-time NBA champion has averaged 14.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists, through his 213 playoff games.

The 2017/18 NBA season begins in October.

BULLDOG BOB’S KIND HARDWICK: TIGERS CAN WORDS FOR SAINT NICK ACHIEVE AFL ULTIMATE R etired St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt has received a kind word of reassurance from an unlikely source before he brought his decorated AFL career to a close.

Having retired himself on Friday night, Western Bulldogs great Bob Murphy reached out to Riewoldt.

“He sent me a message on Saturday morning saying ‘Mate, the sun came up and life is actually OK on this side ... good luck for Sunday’,” Riewoldt told reporters after his 336-game career ended on Sunday with a 41-point loss to Richmond.

“To know that he woke up the next day feeling OK was a comforting thought.”

Riewoldt had 15 touches and kicked a goal in his final AFL appearance.

He was warmly applauded by the 69,104 fans in attendance as he was chaired off the MCG by teammate Josh Bruce and cousin Jack Riewoldt.

The six-time best-and-fairest

winner has maintained a high level of performance in his 17th AFL season.

He admitted he wrestled with the decision to retire even after he’d made the announcement, but is excited about the future.

“I’m comfortable with it, but absolutely in my own private time I’ve had moments,” he said.

“Even at various stages last week running around at Etihad for my last home game there were probably five or six times where I thought ‘Gee I could do this for another two years’.

“Then something would happen two minutes later and I’d think ‘Nah I’m done’.

“I think you fight it and have that wrestle internally but it is absolutely the right time for me to finish.

“I’m really excited about what’s next.

“I don’t think it would be the right time if I wasn’t having those feelings; I’m really comfortable with it.”
