NO ANSWERS IN VIC GANGLAND

MURDER INQUESTS T

he murders of three underworld figures during Melbourne’s gangland war remain unsolved despite authorities knowing who may have wanted them dead.

The Victorian Coroners Court on Thursday held summary inquests into the deaths of fruit and vegetable wholesaler Frank Benvenuto, former lawyer Mario Condello and standover man Nikolai Radev, who were murdered between 2000 and 2006.

Detectives from Purana Taskforce provided summaries of their ongoing investigations to the inquests but say certain details can’t be released because it could jeopardise efforts to bring the killers to justice.

The inquest was told separate police investigations had identified possible motives and suspects linked to the men’s criminal activities.

However, state coroner Sara Hinchey said there was nothing a coronial inquest could do that would result in the men’s killers being identified.

Moments before Benvenuto was found dead in his car 16 years ago, another criminal left him a voicemail message.

“I don’t know what happened, we got cut off or whatever. Can you give me a ring? Ta, ta,” Victor Peirce said.

Peirce made the call at 3.50pm on May 8, 2000. He had called Benvenuto back after the 52-year-old rung him at 3.46pm, about the same time witnesses and neighbours saw his car and trailer sticking out from the kerb in Beaumaris, a flew blocks away from his home.

Benvenuto was slumped forward in the driver’s seat, but witnesses thought he was asleep.

It was only when someone checked on him at 4.05pm

they realised he was dead, and contacted emergency services.

Benvenuto was still holding his mobile phone in his left hand when paramedics arrived and found a puncture wound to his neck.

He’d been shot, and his foot was on the brake but the handbrake was not engaged, police say.

In 2006, Condello was repeatedly shot in the garage of his Brighton East home on February 6 while speaking to a friend on his mobile phone.

“The next thing I heard was a bang and three more bangs, then a period of silence and the phone got cut off,” the friend told police.

Condello’s school-aged son was watching TV when he heard the gunshots, and fled the house in a panic.

Police told the inquest Condello was a close friend of underworld identity Mick Gatto.

The pair were part of a group commonly known as the Carlton Crew, which became embroiled in a series of killings linked to their rivalry with a group led

by Carl Williams, who was murdered in prison.

Three years before Condello’s murder, Bulgarianborn Radev was shot multiple times as he retrieved a cigar from his car.

Police believe he was lured to Coburg on August 15, 2003 under the guise of meeting an amphetamine manufacturer.

A man known to police allegedly used two handguns to shoot Radev, and continued shooting the 44-year-old as he lay on the ground.

Investigators say the alleged shooter died in 2004.

None of Condello, Benvenuto or Radev’s families attended the inquests on Thursday.

The police investigations into their murders remains open.

offences.

While IBAC says allegations against eight were substantiated it says they were likely just “snapshots of a more widespread and serious problem for Victoria Police”.

Of those eight officers: - Two were charged with giving false evidence, misleading or attempting to mislead IBAC, and inciting a witness to mislead IBAC, and one was charged with criminal drug offences.

- One has been dismissed, three have resigned, three are suspended and one returned to work after an admonishment notice.

There are systemic deficiencies in Victoria Police’s illicit drug prevention and detection, IBAC concludes.

“Police officers cannot be selective in choosing which criminal laws they will obey,” IBAC Commissioner Stephen O’Bryan QC said in a statement.

“While most of the police officers investigated were aware they were engaging in illegal conduct, they rationalised their off-duty criminality as being separate to their obligations as police officers.”

Victoria Police’s alcohol and drugs policy says illicit drug use is not tolerated but there is ambiguity about the consequences, IBAC says.

Police have accepted the recommendations and are reviewing their practices and policies, a Victoria Police spokesman said in a statement.

A progress report is due on June 30 and Victoria Police must provide IBAC with a final report by June 30, 2018.

Police Minister Lisa Neville said drug use has “no place” within the force.

“This investigation related to a small group of police officers, and Victoria Police has since taken appropriate action through criminal, disciplinary and management interventions,” she said in a statement.

POLICE probe Aust woman’s assault claim

T

hai police are stepping up an investigating an Australian woman’s complaint of sexual assault in an area of Bangkok popular with backpackers.

In the complaint to Thai police the unnamed 21-year-old says she was allegedly assaulted by a tuktuk driver and another man as they returned to her accommodation after a night out in Khao San Road.

Thai police told local media the woman had flagged down a tuktuk or samlor taxi in the early hours of December

5 “after drinking heavily” and was taken to a vacant allotment where the alleged assault occurred around 4am.

Police are moving quickly on the investigation, including DNA testing, as the woman is booked to fly back to Australia on December 19.

“I will try to ensure that we get clear facts about this case before the victim’s scheduled departure from Thailand,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Sanit Mahathavorn told Thai reporters.

Sanit said police had

identified “several suspects including tuktuk drivers in the area, but so far had made no arrests”.

Earlier, Sanit said CCTV footage showed the woman walking with a foreign man near Khao San Road soon after the bars and restaurants had closed. The couple were seen again shortly later about 400 metres away.

Thai police have threatened legal action if the investigation reveals the woman has filed a false complaint.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) Smart Traveller report on Thailand warns tourists of serious criminal activity in popular tourist locations, such as Khao San Road.

“Be aware that food and drink spiking occurs, including around popular backpacker destinations such as Khao San Road in Bangkok” and other night time entertainment zones in the city, as well as Pattaya and Phuket, it states.

According to reports the Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren announced his ruling on Monday, after learning both defence teams and prosecutors agreed that a joint trail could pose legal risks.

Morgan Geyser, 14, and Anissa Weier, 15, were 12 when they allegedly

stabbed classmate Payton Leutner 19 times in a Waukesha park following a sleepover in 2014.

Payton survived after she was able to crawl to a path

where a cyclist found her.

Geyser and Weier have pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease to attempted homicide charges in adult court.

New Vic road ‘next cab off the rank’ SICK BOY, 5,

A

new Melbourne freeway is the “next cab off the rank” for Victoria’s big-builds program, but drivers will not be slugged with a road-user tax.

Infrastructure Victoria says a new road connecting freeways in the east and north is the “missing link” for the metropolitan area.

The government agrees, saying its business case is the most viable.

“Its urgency is the most viable to actually make a huge difference to the transit across the metropolitan area, to add to productivity, to ease congestion,” Special Minister of State Gavin Jennings told reporters on Wednesday.

“It has all the hallmarks of the next cab off the rank of major transport projects that need to be considered in Victoria.”

SANTA’S ARMS

A

Tennessee Santa Claus says a terminally ill 5-year-old boy died in his arms after he gave the child a present in the hospital.

The Knoxville NewsSentinel reports Eric SchmittMatzen, who does about 80 events a year as Santa, was asked a few weeks ago to visit the dying boy.

Schmitt-Matzen says he gave the child a toy. He says the boy gave him a big hug, asked “Santa, can you help me?” and died in his arms.

Schmitt-Matzen says it took him days to recover, but he’s continuing to play Santa.

The News-Sentinel report didn’t include details on the boy or the hospital. SchmittMatzen didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

AUST DATA DOWNLOADS DOUBLE OVER TWO YEARS

A

ustralia’s internet downloads have more than doubled over the past two years, as people watch increasing amounts of online video.

Nearly two in three people tune in to online video content, including Netflix, Stan and catch-up streaming services, according to figures from the Australian Communication and Media Authority’s 2015/16 report.

Australians downloaded nearly 2.2 million terabytes of data from April to June this year, compared to one million terabytes in 2014.

That’s roughly the equivalent of 2.2 billion high-definition Game of Thrones episodes.

The data accounts for all internet usage but video was a key driver, according to the report.

“Catch-up and subscription video, particularly video

content downloads, have driven data usage, rather than growth in the number of devices,” it said.

While more people are downloading video, free-to-air television still accounted for 59 per cent of the total video watched by Australians.

The report analysed the quarter to June 2016. It found: • 63 per cent of people watched online content, up from 53 per cent from the previous year

Because since four months, I’ve been saying it will be ‘10 years’. It will happen,” he added.

TECHNOLOGY 9

MEDIA BINGEING PARENTS SAY THEY’RE OK

P

arents spend more than nine hours a day with TVs, computers and other screen devices while also giving themselves high marks as role models for their children’s media use, survey results show.

Among the nearly 1800 parents in the US surveyed, daily screen time averaged nine hours and 22 minutes, with the bulk of that - seven hours and 43 minutes categorised as personal screen media and the other roughly 90 minutes spent on work screens.

The study also found they were enthusiastic about technology’s role in their children’s lives but wary of the risks it may hold, including loss of sleep and online oversharing.

Researchers from the nonprofit Common Sense Media group and Northwestern University’s Centre on Media and Human Development conducted the project.

Two-thirds of those surveyed said monitoring their children’s devices and social media accounts is more important than allowing them privacy.

It was the gap between

how much adults use media and what that might mean for their offspring that was particularly striking to James P. Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media , which helps families and educators assess and use media and technology effectively. The group’s first-ever investigation into parents’ tech habits mirrors its ongoing analysis of those of children and teenagers.

“I found the numbers astounding, the sheer volume of technology used by parents,” Steyer said. “There’s really a big disconnect between their own behaviour and their self-perception, as well as their perception of their kids.”

But a survey summary says 78 per cent of all parents believe they are good media and technology role models for their children.

The top concerns among all parents about potential adverse media effects included the fear that children may become technology addicts, that their physical activity will be affected and their face-to-face communication and sleep habits will be hurt.

UBER DRIVER ARRESTED OVER MELBOURNE SEX ASSAULT

U

ber says it removed a Melbourne driver’s access to the ridesharing app as soon as it became aware he was being investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting a female passenger.

Victoria Police arrested and interviewed the 40-yearold driver in mid-October after he allegedly assaulted the 26-year-old woman in Melbourne’s southeast in mid-July.

The Pakenham man was subsequently released with police on Monday suggesting he would be charged on summons with sexual assault.

“There is no place for the type of behaviour described and our thoughts are with the woman and her family,” an Uber spokesman told AAP in a statement on Monday.

“We removed the driver’s access to the platform as soon as we became aware of these allegations.”

Uber said it had been in contact with Victoria Police “and assisted with the investigation”.

It’s alleged the driver assaulted the woman after she caught the Uber in Berwick about 1.30am on July 17.

When it comes to kids’ online activities, parents worry about how much time is spent, how much personal information is shared and whether youngsters are being exposed to pornography or violent images or videos.

But 94 per cent of parents believe technology is helpful for children’s school work and education, with 89 per cent agreeing it will prepare youngsters for 21st-century jobs.

PREPARE FOR ‘MOST SHARED XMAS EVER’

P

arents are being urged to agree on social media rules with their children ahead of what experts are anticipating will be the “most shared Christmas ever” online.

Web safety group Internet Matters has issued a “12 shares of Christmas” list of tips for parents to help protect children from over-sharing on social media, which includes guidance on reducing the amount of personal information children share when posting images and other content to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social networks.

A new study by the group claims that less than half of parents have given their children advice or agreed rules on what to post online.

Carolyn Bunting, general manager of Internet Matters, said parents must do more to stay on top of technology.

“Millions of children will be unwrapping new smartphones or tablets on Christmas morning and, as our research suggests, many will use them immediately to share their Christmas online,” she said.

“While it’s fantastic that so many people will be sharing Christmas memories and family moments, it’s also crucial that parents are

aware of what their children are posting and are getting involved in their kids’ digital lives.”

According to the group, in the time it takes to cook an 9kg turkey - 4.5 hours - more than 1.3 billion images will be posted online, with more than 7 billion images expected to be shared on Christmas Day alone. “Parents might be surprised by how much their children will be sharing on Christmas Day,” said Ms Bunting.

“Everything from the presents they’ve received from Santa right down to dad snoring away in front of the TV at the end of the day. So it’s important that parents sit down and have regular conversations with them so they can set rules and boundaries.

“We have created some tips to help parents understand the potential risks of over-sharing online, from the amount of personal information they are making available to knowing who they are talking to, and ways to keep it appropriate and fun.”

The tips include discussions around privacy settings, inappropriate selfies, not sharing their location when posting and playing games or speaking with strangers online.

G

rammy-nominated singer Sia and her filmmaker-husband, Erik Anders Lang, are separating.

In a statement released through a spokesperson on Wednesday, Sia and Lang said “after much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple”.

They were married in August 2014. They said they are “dedicated to remaining friends”.

No more details were provided.

Sia, who has written songs for Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry and others, is known for her own hits like Chandelier and Cheap

She earned three Grammy nominations on Tuesday, including best pop vocal album for This Is Acting.

Lang’s website says he has created documentaries for Louis Vuitton, Honda, MTV and other companies.

That was among the revelations that came during the pop icon’s appearance on James Corden’s signature Carpool Karaoke segment that aired

CELEBRITY 11

on Wednesday night’s Late Late Show on CBS. Madonna says she made the first move with Jackson because “he’s a little bit shy.”

She says she never shared the story publicly “because no one ever asks” her.

Madonna also described herself as “quite square” these days, saying she doesn’t drink, smoke or party.

She still dances though.

At one point, she turned around in the front seat and twerked for the camera mounted on the dashboard of the SUV. Madonna and Corden belted out Vogue, Papa Don’t Preach and other hits during the segment.

merican Actor Evan Rachel Wood has revealed that she has been raped twice.

The revelation comes in a letter to Rolling Stone that Wood made public on Twitter on Monday.

In the note, she writes: “Yes, I have been raped.”

She says was assaulted once “by a significant other” she was together with at the time, and by a bar owner during a separate incident.

She says she initially questioned herself over both incidents, which she says took place “many, many years ago”.

The Westworld actress posted the letter after the incidents were mentioned in a Rolling Stone profile of her published earlier this month.

Wood says in the letter that she believes being raped “was one of the many factors” behind a suicide attempt when she was 22.

ARIES You notice that everything works out smoothly in love when you have a flexible and loyal attitude and you don’t see problems on the road before there are actual problems.

Don’t put too much weight on a setback. You have to look at life from the bright side. You will succeed in anything you want to do.

TAURUS You are a bit fickle in your relationships. Find the cause. This could be found with you because you are critical and easily bored. If you surprise someone who needs attention with a small gift you will gain a friend for life. Can’t you just force yourself one more time to complete something that has been lying around for too long now? Make time for it and enjoy the satisfaction it brings.

GEMINI A recent misunderstanding is solved and you should immediately do something about it if it has a tail. Do it tactful and in a controlled way because not everyone is strong enough to deal with your assertive manners. You want to push through a very special initiative but you should count on resistance. A cautious approach is better here.

CANCER A pleasant surprise can be expected in love. Someone will impress you but be careful. If you react in a cynical way or react too strongly the chance to have an exciting week will be gone. Your smile can work miracles. This is not a good week for impulsive decisions.

LEO You don’t have to complain because you get more than enough attention. The problem is you quickly find most people boring. Don’t sit on the couch for too long and head out because you will establish some remarkable connections. Take your time to make them stronger.

If you use logic you can solve the puzzle without guesswork.

NEXT-GENERATION HOLDEN COMMODORE BREAKS COVER Holden has revealed first images and more details of the all-new Commodore ahead of its Australian launch early in 2018. The next-gen Commodore takes cutting-edge safety, driving and infotainment technology and makes it available for today’s Australians, everywhere.

The next-generation Holden Commodore is democratizing technology.

Now with images of the next Commodore breaking cover, Australia gets its first look at the sleek and sophisticated design that will be hitting Australian roads in 2018. Designed in Germany by the Opel team with input from GM Holden’s team, the new Commodore takes the best of Europe and makes it great for Australia.

Building on information released last month regarding the next-generation

Combined with the howling V6, world-first allwheel-drive system and all the on-road performance you expect from the Commodore, this is a car that ticks all the boxes and more,” said Mr Keley.

Going on sale in Australia early in 2018, the new Commodore range will be headlined by the V6 flagship model, the first ever imported Commodore will honour the iconic nameplate by being the most technologicallyadvanced Holden ever. With a cutting-edge all-wheel-drive system channeling 230 kilowatts and 370 Newton metres to the road, combined with adaptive suspension technology, a company-first nine-speed automatic transmission and

torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, the next-generation Commodore will continue to cement Holden’s reputation for class-leading driving dynamics and on-road refinement.

Jeremy Tassone, Holden’s Engineering Group Manager for Vehicle Development, said the technical underpinnings of the next Commodore also represents Holden’s commitment to bringing the best vehicles from around the word to Australian customers.

“From its cutting-edge all-wheeldrive system, to nine-speed transmission and adaptive suspension, this is a true driver’s car in the way Commodore has always been. We’re taking the best of Europe and making it even better for our Australian customers. I can’t wait for our customers to get behind the wheel”

BRAZIL, ARGENTINA TO CLASH AT MCG: REPORT << cont. from front cover... and before the national team have to be in Russia on June 15 ahead of their first Confederations Cup game against Germany on June 19.

The date of the clash between five-time World Cup winners Brazil and two-time champions Argentina will depend on the MCG’s availability during the 2017 AFL season, with matches already scheduled for June 10, 12 and 17.

Should it come off, it would pit Barcelona superstars Messi and Neymar against each other.

But they wouldn’t be the only big names.

Argentina also features Manchester City pair Sergio Aguero and Pablo Zabaleta, Juventus star Gonzalo Higuain and Barcelona’s Javier Mascherano, while Brazil could field Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino and Chelsea’s David Luiz.

The nations rarely play each other outside the World Cup qualification cycle but the SuperClasico de las Americas offers a chance to fight for silverware.

Created in 2011, the match-up is the successor of the Roca Cup played irregularly between 1914 and 1976, and originally featured two games played in a home-andaway format.

Brazil won the first series 2-0 on aggregate before Argentina got revenge in 2012 via a penalty shootout.

In 2014, the format was changed to a one-match play-off at a neutral venue, won 2-0 by Brazil in Beijing.

A spokesperson for the Victorian government declined to confirm the fixture was in the pipeline, saying: “The government has nothing to add to this morning’s speculation.”

CRISTIANO RONALDO WINS FOURTH BALLON D’OR A

fter giving a European Championship title to Portugal and another Champions League trophy to Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo ends 2016 with something for himself - his fourth Ballon d’Or. Ronaldo on Monday won the world player of the year award, which this year is being handed out by France Football magazine separately from FIFA. Ronaldo also won the Ballon d’Or prize in 2013 and 2014, and the FIFA award in 2008 while still playing for Manchester United.

The Portugal forward is also in contention for FIFA’s prize this year, along with Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, who finished second and third to Ronaldo on Monday, respectively.

“This was likely the best year of my career, individually and collectively,” Ronaldo said in a pre-recorded video.

“It was unforgettable.”

Only Ronaldo and Messi have been voted the best in the world since 2007, when Kaka won the prize.

Messi won a record fifth award last year.

“I have to thank all my teammates, the national team, Real Madrid, all the people, all the players who helped me win this individual award,” Ronaldo said.

Messi was runner-up for the fifth time in his career, while Griezmann finished third after a remarkable year with France and Atletico Madrid.

Luis Suarez was fourth and Barcelona teammate Neymar fifth in the results announced by the Paris-based magazine.

The 31-year-old Ronaldo was picked from a list of 30 players by a group of international journalists selected by France Football, which for the previous six years awarded the coveted prize in partnership with FIFA. Soccer’s governing body, which relies on the votes of coaches, team captains, journalists and - for the first time - an online poll of fans, will be handing out its own award in January.

Ronaldo is receiving the Ballon d’Or award a month after his contract with Madrid was extended until 2021, keeping him in Spain until he is 36.

It has been an up-and-down season for him so far, but he couldn’t have finished the previous one more strongly.

Ronaldo converted a penalty kick in a shootout against Atletico Madrid in the final of the Champions

League, helping the Spanish powerhouse win the tournament for the second time in three seasons.

Ronaldo also won the Champions League title with Manchester United in 2008.

Ronaldo scored a record 11 goals in the group stage of the European competition last season and finished with a total of 16, one short of the record he set in 2014.

It was with Portugal that Ronaldo achieved one of his greatest feats, helping the nation win its maiden European title.

Ronaldo scored one of the goals for Portugal in the 2-0 win over Wales in the semi-finals at Euro 2016, then watched from the bench as his teammates defeated France 1-0 in extra time.

Ronaldo played only 25 minutes of the final at Stade de France in July before being substituted because of a leftknee injury.

going to leave that”.

Cotchin referred to the tumultuous circumstances when asked if the ceremony felt somewhat surreal.

“Obviously there’s a lot of emotion involved with that as well,” he said.

“You feel for people and it’s been going on for so long, but hopefully we can all take a step forward now.”

Cotchin confirmed he had contacted Watson in the wake of being awarded the

retrospective medal.

“I thought that was the right thing to do,” he said.

Cotchin’s wife Brooke and their children Harper and Mackenzie were in the front row for the ceremony.

Likewise Mitchell’s wife Lyndall, their son Mitchell and their twin daughters Scarlett and Emmerson flew over from Perth.

Mitchell is now at West Coast after a stunning trade at the end of this season.

His ex-Hawthorn teammates were unable to attend because they are at a

Queensland training camp.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was at the ceremony.

While the circumstances were unprecedented, Mitchell said he enjoyed the ceremony.

“It’s a beautiful way to do it - I mean winning it in front of 1400 people, live on TV is one thing, you wouldn’t knock that back,” he said.

“But having it like this, I certainly appreciate it for what it is.”

Mitchell added that while several of his old Hawks teammates had contacted

him on Tuesday morning, Clarkson had not.

“I know he’s not too big on the individual awards,” he said, while stressing he and Clarkson had parted on good terms.

Cotchin noted that while they now have a Brownlow each, Mitchell has won premierships and he has not.

“As I mentioned on stage, I’m envious of the bloke I won it with, because he’s managed to string together four premierships,” Cotchin said.

AFL AWARDS BROWNLOWS TO COTCHIN, MITCHELL

T

rent Cotchin and Sam Mitchell are officially the 2012 AFL Brownlow winners, receiving their medals at an unprecedented Melbourne ceremony.

In front of about 150 family, friends, dignitaries and media, the Richmond captain and the former Hawthorn star were honoured with a simple ceremony.

Ian Stewart, the last Tigers player to win the Brownlow in

1971, presented the medal to Cotchin.

Then Shane Crawford, Hawthorn’s most recent Brownlow winner in 1999, hung the medal around Mitchell’s neck.

Cotchin and Mitchell paid tribute to the family, friends, and club figures who had helped them in their careers.

Mitchell joked it felt like a wedding, with his group on one side of the room and Cotchin’s on the other.

“It’s obviously different something no one else has been through,” Mitchell said.

“Trent and I will share something unique for the rest of our lives.

“But it’s a happy day for us ... you’re bringing joy to all the people closest to you, in a way, that you would very rarely get to do.”

The presentation also marks another sign of closure to the long-running Essendon supplements debacle.

Cotchin and Mitchell originally finished joint runners-up to Essendon’s Jobe Watson in 2012.

But Watson gave up the medal last month in the wake of his doping ban.

He was among 34 current and past Essendon players banned because of the club’s disastrous 2012 supplements regime.

Asked about Watson, Mitchell replied simply: “I’m
