Panama leak puts heat on officials
I
celand's prime minister became the first major figure brought down by the leak of millions of records on offshore accounts as the scrutiny intensified around officials from other countries, including Ukraine's president.
Icelandic leader Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson stepped aside reently amid outrage over revelations he had used a shell company to shelter large sums while Iceland's economy was in crisis. Officials in several other countries also are facing questions about possibly dubious offshore tax-avoidance schemes, following the publication of the names of rich and powerful people linked to the leaks, dubbed the Panama Papers. They include Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko who, the leaks show, set up an offshore holding company to move his confectionery business offshore, possibly depriving Ukraine of millions of dollars in tax revenue. Poroshenko insists he has done nothing wrong and hasn't managed his assets since being elected, but some adversaries are calling for his removal from office. China and Russia, meanwhile, suppressed news of the leaks and rejected any allegations of impropriety by government officials named in the release of more than 11 million financial documents from a Panamanian law firm. The reports are from a global

They have been processing records from the Mossack Fonseca law firm that were first leaked to Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. China dismissed as "groundless" reports that the Panamanian law firm had arranged offshore companies for relatives of at least eight present or past members of the Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, the apex of power in China.

State media have ignored the reports and searches of websites and social media for the words "Panama documents" were blocked. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said he would not discuss the reports further and declined to say whether the individuals named would be investigated. Sueddeutsche Zeitung, working with Germany's NDR and WDR public television stations, reported on Monday that 14 German banks had used Mossack Fonseca's services to set up 1200 letterbox companies for clients.

Police recover the body of a 15-month-old girl who was found in Darebin creek after being abducted in Heidelberg West, in Melbourne.
Detectives spent Sunday scouring the crime scene at Heidelberg West, also retracing the steps of Sanaya Sahib's mother and searching a home where the pair had been staying. Sofina Nikat, 22, told police her 15-monthold girl was snatched out of her pram at Olympic Park about 10am on Saturday by a man who smelt of alcohol and was not wearing shoes. She said was pushed to the ground by the man, who ran off with her daughter towards a nearby shopping centre.

Aussies losing $15m in scams and fraud A
ustralians have lost nearly $4 million in investment scams this year alone, with the latest case of a Western Australian man duped by overseas fraudsters again raising alarm bells.
Peter Kleinig, 65, has been legally barred by state authorities from raising money from others to invest in a West African gold and silver mining scheme proven to be run by criminals. Despite losing millions of dollars to the false scheme, and
inducing a friend and other people to lose up to $2 million, Mr Kleinig refuses to believe it's a scam despite authorities' repeated warnings.
Superannuation is also commonly targeted by scammers who claim to offer a way to unlock retirement savings early, but upon release take the pay-out themselves.
"It's extremely sad that Peter Kleinig has lost his life savings and refuses to accept that he is at the centre of an investment fraud," Commissioner for Consumer Protection David Hillyard said.
The ACCC advises people to keep their personal details secret, be wary of unsolicited calls and emails, and to be suspicious of "too good to be true" investment schemes which promise a high return with little risk.
More than $15 million has been lost to scammers and fraudsters in 2016 so far with more than 21,000 cases reported to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
They should also check up on the legitimacy of a financial advisor or company through corporate regulator ASIC, and should always seek independent financial and legal advice The watchdog has received 303 reports of shoddy investment ploys before signing up to an investment. which have taken nearly $4 million from investors. Statistics on the ACCC site show people aged 45-54 as being most susceptible to investment scams, which include fake stock broker cold calls, share tips and promotions, and investment seminars spruiking risky `get rich quick' strategies and featuring self-made millionaires. Almost half of all dodgy investment proposals are initiated over the phone.

Labor open to banks royal commission A
Labor government could initiate a royal commission into banks after accusing Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of being too quick to rule out an inquiry into the sector.
The shadow cabinet is understood to have considered the idea of launching an inquiry if elected, after the government rejected calls for a commission despite Mr Turnbull criticising the big banks for mistreating their customers. Mr Turnbull recently used a Westpac 199th birthday function to remind banks of their duties not just to shareholders but the wider community. He accused some banks of "taking advantage" of their customers.
"I think Australians are sick of politicians who talk tough and do nothing."
The prime minister's comments came as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission investigate Westpac over the alleged multi-billion dollar rigging of interest rate trading. But Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said he saw no need for a royal commission. "Our banking system is well regulated," Senator Cormann said. Banks needed reminding of their social obligations but rejected the idea that whitecollar criminals were being let off under the coalition government, he said.
said. "I think Australians are sick of politicians who talk tough and do nothing." However, he stopped short of promising Labor would initiate a royal commission if it won the next election.
"Whenever anybody does anything wrong, Several coalition members have backed a they have to have the book thrown at them," royal commission. Senator Cormann said. "We need a full royal commission into the Opposition Leader Bill Shorten told profit-driven and immoral activities of the reporters in Brisbane the fact that Mr big banks and they must pay an appropriate Turnbull was concerned about the "bad behaviour" of banks pointed to the need for level of compensation to clients for past wrongs," former government whip Warren an inquiry. Entsch said. "It's time for Mr Turnbull to stop ruling out Nationals senator John Williams, who last quickly the option of the royal commission and instead start listening to what every day year crossed the floor to support a Greens motion for a royal commission, said he still Australians are saying and they don't like believed it was warranted. the bad behaviour of banks," Mr Shorten
Treasurer Scott Morrison said Mr Shorten was only looking at a banking royal commission as a distraction in the wake of the unions royal commission. "This is Bill Shorten seeking to play politics," Mr Morrison told Sky News. Asked whether he would rule out a banking inquiry, Mr Morrison said: "We are not proposing one, so I don't need to rule one out." He said the banking and finance sector was "well regulated and incredibly stable". "The sort of commentary that Bill Shorten is engaged in does potentially do harm to confidence about that sector and I don't think that is a very helpful thing for him to do," Mr Morrison said.

Vic couriers fight over $16.6m win A $16.6 million Powerball win is again at the centre of a legal stoush between former Geelong couriers. Gary Baron, a former Toll courier, won the millions in an October 2014 draw. Mr Baron was the organiser of a workplace lotto syndicate, whose members suspected the winning ticket was purchased with their money. Fourteen members of the syndicate started a fight in the Victorian Supreme Court before a settlement was reached last year. Now, a new writ has been lodged by another former Toll courier, John Joseph Dimasi, who claims he could be entitled to half or all of the $16.6 million win. Mr Dimasi was a member of the syndicate until he left Toll in March 2014. According to the writ Mr Baron asked Mr Dimasi if he wanted to continue putting money into Mr Baron's bank account for the lottery tickets, even though he no longer worked for the company. Mr Dimasi agreed, and gave Mr Baron $490 in cash and bank transfers in 2014 to pay for tickets. Mr Dimasi claims some or all of his money could have been used to buy the winning ticket. Mr Dimasi is also seeking an order preventing Mr Baron from spending, lending or dealing with the winnings until a court determination. In previous preliminary hearings, the Victorian Supreme Court ordered Tattslotto to provide details of how the winning ticket was paid for. The syndicate said they had become suspicious when a day after the prize was drawn Mr Baron called in sick for work and soon after resigned. When asked if the syndicate had been successful in the draw, Mr Baron said it hadn't. Five days after the multimillion-dollar draw, Tattslotto hired Toll to deliver a package containing a bottle to Mr Baron's address. The workers said they knew Tatts had a practice of sending a congratulatory bottle of champagne to major prize winners.
he US has condemned the latest "barbaric" killing in Bangladesh of an outspoken opponent of radical Islam and says it is considering granting refuge to a select number of bloggers who face imminent danger. Assailants hacked and shot to death 28-year-old law student Nazimuddin Samad on Wednesday night on a street in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka.
In December, US-based human rights groups urged the US to offer "humanitarian parole" for Bangladeshi writers targeted by extremists for their secular beliefs. Karin Deutsch Karlekar of PEN America reiterated that call to the US and other countries on Thursday, saying that Samad's killing "is a cruel illustration of the costs of inaction".
At least five secular bloggers and publishers were killed in similar attacks last year.
US State Department spokesman Mark Toner strongly condemned the "barbaric murder" of Samad and told reporters the US offers "unwavering support to the Bangladeshi people in their struggle against violent extremism".
That has heightened concern that religious extremists are getting a foothold in Bangladesh, a Muslim country with traditions of secularism and tolerance, and that authorities are failing to provide protection.
He said that humanitarian parole for a select number of bloggers who continue to be under "imminent danger" is one option under consideration, but referred questions on it to the Homeland Security Department.
The unidentified attackers shouted "Allahu Akbar", or "Allah is great", and escaped by motorcycle.
Students of the Jagannath University (jnu) demonstrate and set fire to a pile of bicycle tires as they protest against the murder of fellow student and online activist, 25-year-old law student Nazimuddin Samad, in the old part of Dhaka, Bangladesh, 07 april 2016. The secular activist and critic of religious fundamentalism was murdered in bangladesh allegedly by islamist extremists, although the police are still investigating the motive and have not ruled out any other hypothesis, several sources said.

Selfie 'idiots' shutting down Melb trains P
eople delaying trains by taking selfies and painting graffiti in Melbourne's city loop rail tunnels have prompted a $134 million safety upgrade.
Obstacle detection systems and CCTV cameras will be installed at the entrances of tunnels so the control centre is immediately alerted to intruders.
The number of people being caught intruding in the tunnels has spiked in recent years, with 40 or 50 people a year getting into the loop - up from just 11 in 2013.
The $134 million upgrade also includes new fire prevention systems, CCTV and alarms.
Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan has told reporters the upgrade will help save lives and Public Transport Minister Jacinta reduce major delays caused by Allan has told reporters it's loop shutdowns while reports of stupid, reckless behaviour. trespassers are investigated.
Truck smash adds to Melb train delays A
truck has smashed into a rail bridge in Melbourne, adding further delays to the city's train network. Commuters on the Werribee and Williamstown lines were advised trains are delayed by up to 10 minutes after a truck driver misjudged the clearance of the railway bridge near Footscray. The truck was carrying empty shipping containers - one of which has crumpled. "Sounded like a bomb went off," a witness at nearby Victoria University posted on Reddit. Across town commuters on the busy Belgrave and Lilydale lines had endured long delays
after a power outage stopped trains between Ringwood and Camberwell. Trains have since resumed but those forced to catch replacement buses expressed dismay and anger. Posting a photo of a queue of commuters streaming from the station, Jed Maxwell said on Twitter: "8 trainloads if people do not fit on to the 3 buses that have arrived at Ringwood since 7am!" It follows a mishap last month when thousands of commuters were stranded after a faulty cable shut down Melbourne's city loop for three hours.

World's wild tiger count rises T
he world's count of wild tigers has gone up for the first time in more than a century, with some 3890 counted by conservation groups and governments in the latest global census, wildlife conservation groups say. The tally marks a turnaround from the last worldwide estimate in 2010, when the number of tigers in the wild hit an all-time low of about 3200, according to the World Wildlife Fund and the Global Tiger Forum. India alone holds more than half of them, with 2226 tigers roaming reserves across the country, from the southern tip of Kerala state to the eastern swamps in West Bengal, according to its last count in 2014.
But experts have stopped short of saying the number of tigers itself was actually rising. In other words, it may just be that experts are aware of more tigers, thanks to the fact that survey methods are improving and more areas are being included. Still, this is the first time tiger counts are increasing since 1900, when there were more than 100,000 tigers in the wild. "More important than the absolute numbers is the trend, and we're seeing the trend going in the right direction," said Ginette Hemley, senior vice president of wildlife conservation at WWF. The global census, compiled from national tiger surveys as well as the International Union for Conservation of Nature, was
released a day before ministers from 13 countries meet for three days in New Delhi as they work toward doubling the world's wild tiger population from the 2010 low by 2022. Not all nations are seeing progress, though. While Russia, India, Bhutan and Nepal all counted more tigers in their latest surveys, Southeast Asian countries have struggled. They are also behind the others in conservation measures, and do not yet conduct a tiger census on their own. "When you have high-level political commitments, it can make all the difference," Hemley said. "When you have well protected habitat and you control the poaching, tigers will recover. That's a pretty simple formula. We know it works."
Cambodia is looking at reintroducing tigers after recently declaring them functionally extinct within its borders, meaning there are no longer any breeding tigers in the wild. Indonesia has also seen a rapid decline, thanks to having the world's highest rate of forest destruction to meet growing demand for producing palm oil as well as pulp and paper. The global tiger count is based on data from 2014. Here is the tally broken down by country: Bangladesh, 106; Bhutan, 103; Cambodia, 0; China, more than 7; India, 2,226; Indonesia, 371; Laos, 2; Malaysia, 250; Myanmar, no data available; Nepal, 198; Russia, 433; Thailand, 189; Vietnam, fewer than 5.

Alleged drug racket exposed by pharmacist A
handwritten prescription rang alarm bells for a pharmacist who called police, exposing an alleged testosterone and anabolic steroids trafficking racket at a Melbourne sports medicine and antiageing clinic.
man who shared office space with an art restorer accused of faking Brett Whitley paintings to sell for millions took photographs of the works being created, the Victorian Supreme Court has heard.
Book binder Guy Morel took eight photographs that captured the painting known as Blue Lavender Bay at various stages of completion in October 2007 in a locked storage area of a studio in Easey Street, Collingwood, prosecutor Susan Borg said. The court heard the photos also depict a pallet of paint that matches the painting.
they sold at an inflated price by passing them off as original works by Brett Whiteley. The painting Blue Lavender Bay was bought for $2.5 million by Sydney Swans chairman Andrew Pridham, the court heard. The paintings Orange Lavender Bay and Through the Window were also photographed as they were being created, Ms Borg said. A defence barrister acting for Mr Gant said the photos depict the process of copies being made of original Whiteley paintings.
It is a drug commonly used by people with low levels of testosterone.
Art conservator and restorer Mohamed Aman Siddique and art dealer Peter Stanley Gant are on trial after they pleaded not guilty to charges of obtaining financial advantage by deception and attempting to obtain financial advantage by deception.
Dr Sze-Tho is now before the courts on more than 240 charges including trafficking anabolic steroids and prescribing testosterone for other than medical treatment.

Cough medicine Benadryl made up 97,629 prescriptions at a cost of STG1.55 million.
Household brands such as Vaseline, Strepsils, Benadryl and Berocca account for hundreds of thousands of prescriptions every year, National Health Service data shows.
Hand sanitiser was also prescribed, while Strepsils, Halls, Throaties and Tyrozets lozenges accounted for more than STG25,000.
The pharmacist, who asked not to be named, has told the Melbourne Magistrates Court she contacted police in 2013 after receiving a prescription written by Hoong Pan Sze-Tho for 30 vials of Sustanon 250.
"It's not illegal to copy paintings, it's not even illegal to write Brett Whiteley on it," the court heard. "What happened at Easey Street and the sale of those paintings are completely separate stories," Mr Gant's barrister said in the trial that continues.
UK spending billions on prescriptions
Around 90 per cent of prescriptions are free of charge to patients. The figures for England, analysed by the Press Association, show multivitamins made up 1.33 million prescriptions in 2015, costing more than STG3.8 million ($A7.12 million). One of the biggest spends was for antacids, with more than four million prescriptions at a cost of just over STG26 million.
Millions of pounds worth of mouthwash was also prescribed, with one type available for STG2.99 in Superdrug accounting for a STG1.8 million.
In 2015, STG9.27 billion was spent on all prescriptions dispensed in the community - a 4.68 per cent rise on the STG8.85 billion in 2014, the data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre showed. In 2015, 1.08 billion prescription items were dispensed - a 1.79 per cent rise from the STG1.06 billion in 2014.
Critics said too much money was being "sqaundered" on bathroom cabinet items but the Royal College of GPs said doctors issued Cold sore treatments including Blistex cost more than STG23,000, prescriptions in the best interests of patients. Neutrogena cream was prescribed 8,137 times costing STG68,589, Dr Maureen Baker, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, said: Neutrogena T/Gel shampoo accounted for more than a STG1 "Prescribing is a core skill in general practice and family doctors will million and Berocca prescriptions cost STG4,100. always prescribe in the best interests of our patients".

Hayman takes Paris-Roubaix cycling title M
at Hayman cried in disbelief after winning Paris-Roubaix, the cycling monument that has defined his career. The well-respected Australian cycling domestique won a fiveman sprint to win the race known as the Hell Of The North and the Queen Of The Classics. It is the fifth win by an Australian in one of the sport's five monuments - the top one-day classics. This is also the third monument win for the Australian OricaGreenEDGE team since their 2012 formation. Hayman, who turns 38 on April 20, joins Stuart O'Grady as the only Australians to win Paris-Roubaix. It was a win against huge odds Hayman originally was ruled out of the European spring classics when he broke an arm while racing in late February. He had only been back on the road for 10 days, having spent three hours a day on an indoor bike to maintain his fitness. This was Hayman's 15th ParisRoubaix and he has finished in the top 10 twice, but his lack of preparation meant on Sunday he was a rank outsider.
While Hayman raised his arms in triumph at the finish line, he said his emotions immediately afterwards were pure disbelief. "I guess the stars aligned today and everything came together - all the years of experience and the times I've been close or thereabouts," he told AAP. "I'm not sure myself how I pulled it off ... I played it pretty calm in the final and I was prepared to lose." Hayman won the final sprint at the Roubaix velodrome ahead of Belgian legend Tom Boonen, who was aiming for a record fifth title in the race. "Even in the last kilometre, coming into the velodrome, I'm thinking 'yeah, first or second with Tom Boonen, that's not too bad, it's a good day out'," he said. "To actually pull it off, somewhere there was me still fighting for every inch." Hayman made the day's key break, 75km into the iconic 257.5km race that features more than 50km of brutal cobbled sections. The race came down to Hayman, Boonen, Great
Britain's Ian Stannard, Belgian Sep Vanmarcke and Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen. Hayman's chances appeared shot when he tangled with Stannard on a cobbled section and nearly crashed inside the last 20km, briefly losing touch with the leaders. "I was pretty low then, but I managed to claw my way back," he said of being dropped. "When I got back, I realised noone had fresh legs anymore."
Boonen was genuinely happy for Hayman afterwards, reflecting the esteem with which the Australian is held in the sport. Incredibly, this was only Hayman's third professional win, following the 2006 Commonwealth Games road title and Paris-Bourges five years ago. Heinrich Haussler's sixth place meant this was also the first time that two Australians had made the top 10 at Paris-Roubaix.

Toll hits 102 from temple fireworks blast People gather near damaged buildings at the spot where a massive fire broke out during a fireworks display at the Puttingal temple complex in Paravoor village, Kollam district, southern Kerala state, India, Sunday, April 10, 2016.

escue workers are sifting through a Hindu temple in southern India where more than 100 died when a fireworks display - an unauthorised pyrotechnic display that went horribly wrong - swept through for a religious festival packed with thousands. The official death toll so far from the pre-dawn fire on Sunday at the Puttingal temple complex in the village of Paravoor, stood at 102 people with 380 others hurt, officials said, but local media reports said the figure was higher. Scores of devotees ran in panic as the massive initial blast cut off power in the complex, while other explosions sent flames and debris raining down, a witness said. Many people were trapped.

Police were investigating for possible charges of culpable homicide, punishable with life imprisonment, and illegally storing a cache of explosives. Most of the 102 deaths occurred when the building where the fireworks were stored collapsed, Chandy told reporters. About 60 bodies have been identified, he said. TimesNow, an Indian television news channel, put the death toll at 112.
Chandy, the state's chief minister, said he had appointed a retired judge to investigate the events leading to the fire and that action would "People were screaming in the dark.

'Backbone' of Orange's economy shuts down A
round 200 workers in the central west NSW town of Orange face an uncertain future as production at the long-standing Electrolux manufacturing plant halts. The last of 12 million refrigerators built at the 74-year-old factory rolls off the assembly line on Monday. Orange's deputy mayor Chris Gryllis worked at the plant in the mid-1960s and says the town is losing the backbone of its economy. He said it could take the town years to fully recover. "Every second house in Orange would be associated with this factory in some way or another," Mr Gryllis told AAP. "Those of us who knew the factory have a
sentimental attachment to it." The Swedish-owned company announced in 2013 production at the factory would be moved offshore to Asia and Europe to cut costs in a hit to both the town and Australian manufacturing. The factory's general manager Mark O'Kane said it could not compete with overseas-based manufacturers. "At the end of the day a labour rate of $2.50 an hour, that is really hard to compete against," he told ABC radio. "I'm just fearful for Australian manufacturing." The Electrolux plant - Australia's only refrigerator-making factory - has employed around 40,000 people since it opened as a small arms factory in 1942.
At its peak, it employed 2000 people.
Ninety of the current 300 staff will be retained by the company to help decommission the plant. Some staff will retire, but Mr Gryllis is confident those left unemployed would eventually find jobs elsewhere if given the right training. He said Orange had the economic resilience to deal with the blow. "We've seen other factories, not as big, closing down," he said. "We have the orchards, the wine, the food. "We have become to some extent the nerve centre of the mining industry, so we're travelling quite well as a regional city."

NBN Co says retail service providers will get tiered discounts on the so-called connectively virtual circuit (CVC) that's used to reserve bandwidth on the NBN.
Telstra, the nation's biggest telecom operator, wasn't immediately available to comment on NBN's new pricing model. Rival telco Optus declined to comment.
"We know more bandwidth can mean a better broadband experience for homes and businesses, so we are excited to evolve our CVC pricing model for our retailers," NBN chief executive Bill Morrow said.
The new pricing model is calculated on the average CVC bandwidth assigned by retail providers to NBN customers.
The rise of streaming services such as Netflix, Presto and Stan has contributed to a near doubling in the average NBN usage to 125 gigabytes in April from 75 gigabytes in February 2015. "We know increased usage has presented challenges to our retailers, and we have consulted with them on a new CVC pricing
The more CVC bandwidth allowed for each customer, the bigger the CVC pricing discount available.

Facebook to describe photos for blind F acebook is training its computers to become seeing-eye guides for blind and visually impaired people as they scroll through the pictures posted on the world's largest online social network.
The feature rolling out on Facebook's iPhone app interprets what's in a picture using a form of artificial intelligence that recognizes faces and objects. The iPhone's built-in screen reader,
VoiceOver, must be turned on for Facebook's photo descriptions to be read. For now, the feature will only be available in English.
The descriptions initially will be confined to a vocabulary of 100 words in a restriction that will prevent the computer from providing a lot of details. Eventually, Facebook hopes to refine the technology so it's more precise and even answers questions that a user might pose about a picture.
Tesla unveils $45k Model 3 Electric Vehicle T
esla Motors has given a sneak preview of its Model 3 sedan, saying more than 130,000 people have ordered the car, even though it is more than a year away from production.
Musk said that 115,000 pre-orders had already been taken on Thursday alone for the car. Within a half hour, that number reached 137,600 in a rolling scroll projected onto a screen.
GM is on track to beat Tesla to the market with its Chevrolet Bolt electric car, which GM says will launch late this year, offering about 200 miles of electric driving range and a starting price of around $US35,000.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk unveiled a prototype of the Model 3 in Hawthorne, California on Thursday, to hundreds of Tesla owners and the media, saying the vehicle will go into production in 2017 at a starting price of $US35,000 ($A45,641).
Fans had camped out overnight, queuing outside Tesla stores across California to put down deposits on the car in scenes reminiscent of the launch of Apple Inc products.

High expectations ahead of the unveiling have restored Tesla's shares to around the $US230-mark, recovering from a year low of $US141.05 in February after analysts cut price targets and revenue expectations.
That's fewer hybrid and battery electric vehicles sold in two months than Ford sold of its F-series large utilities in February alone.
The Model 3 is critical to the Silicon Valley carmaker's growth plans and to sustaining its lofty stock price. Tesla shares have jumped in recent days in anticipation of the Model 3 launch.

Jaguar XJ Takes On Top Drone A
Jaguar XJ driven by leading movie stunt driver Mark Higgins took on one of the world’s best drone pilots in a unique ‘cat-and-mouse’ challenge that showcased how future technology could influence car chase filming. With one eye on a future potential movie stunt sequence, Higgins and drone pilot and racer JaeHong Li used the challenge to highlight how technology is developing in both the automotive and unmanned aircraft sectors. The development of advanced driver assistance systems with radar sensors and on board cameras is closely aligned to the development of technology in drones, which are now being used for everything from racing to autonomous parcel delivery. “Drones are becoming increasingly integrated into society and they can do some amazing things these days,” said Higgins, who is also a champion rally driver. “So when Jaguar offered up the XJ and all its technology to go up against one of the world’s top drone pilots, I jumped at the chance. “The Jaguar XJ is designed for the luxury executive market, but it is still a dynamic drive and very capable in all environments. So this was an exciting challenge to use it in. It was certainly up to the chase, and we found some fun ways to evade the drone!” The challenge, which took place at the Zhuhai International Circuit in China, saw
Higgins trying to shake off the drone through an industrialised zone containing shipping containers, wide tree-lined boulevards, pit garages and an underground car park. The XJ demonstrated agility and control with effortless performance during the challenge. Technology is making waves in both the car and drone industries – with the drone pilot using autonomous circling and 360-degree camera searching and Higgins in the XJ, benefitting from electric power assisted steering that improves responsiveness and feedback as well systems that use sensors and four on board cameras. Drone pilot JaeHong Li said:“Flying against the car gave us some interesting insight into how this kind of technology can be used for filming cars – and I think we’ve shown there’s some big potential for future movie car-chase sequences!” : “Technology in drones is developing fast, and like cars,
the latest trend is for pilot assistance. The DJI Inspire 1 drone we used is more about precision and poise than outright pace. It has the best-in-class, stabilized Zenmuse X5 aerial camera aboard, as it is mainly used for filming, and was perfect for this challenge. Jaguar spokesperson, Ian Hoban, Vehicle Line Director said: “Technology plays a significant part in new Jaguar vehicles these days – from driver assistance systems to telematics and infotainment. This race was an entertaining way to showcase our current technology of 360-degree cameras and sensors on the XJ. “In everyday situations, cameras and vehicle sensors bring an added reassurance to the driver, making it easier to manoeuvre and park. Our new systems are all about enhancing the driver experience and making it more relaxing, enjoyable and safe.”
Slack opens HQ in Melbourne S
lack, the email-killing app with millions of fans around the world - Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull among them - has chosen to set up its Asia Pacific headquarters in Melbourne. Touted as a replacement for email in workplaces, the San Francisco-based app's number of users has soared in the two years since its inception in 2014, with even Mr Turnbull reportedly
suggesting cabinet ministers use it. In a blog post announcing Slack's arrival in Australia, the company said adding Melbourne alongside offices in Dublin, Vancouver and San Francisco made sense, given the number of users in the Asia Pacific region. Slack co-founder and chief executive Stewart Butterfield, who also co-founded photo sharing website Flickr, visited Melbourne to open the office on March 31. "Melbourne has been incredibly welcoming and offers a wealth of talent, which made choosing the city as our Asia Pacific headquarters an easy decision," he said.
Seventy staff will be based at the office, which is located in Melbourne's old Carlton Draught brewery. Slack, which has been valued at $2.8 billion, is the workplace equivalent of Facebook's Messenger - allowing users to chat, conference, plan and send files without the constraints typically encountered with email. In NASA's Jet propulsion laboratory and the newsroom of London's The Times newspaper the app has started to replace email, meetings and file sharing applications.

My nostalgic side is quite sad to see it go, but my back isn't. J. K. Rowling."
The seller, Gerald Gray, of Worsley, England, said the winning bid far exceeded his expectations. The unassuming 1930s-era oak chair with a replacement burlap seat decorated with a red thistle sat in front of Rowling's typewriter when she was "writing two of the most important books of the modern era," said James Gannon, director of rare books at Heritage Auctions.
The first book was released in the United States in 1998 with the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
The chair was auctioned before - once by Rowling herself to benefit a charity in 2002 where it fetched $21,000, and on eBay in 2009 where it brought $29,000. "I plan to donate 10 per cent to J.K. Rowling's charity, Lumos, because that's what she did in the first place," said Gray, a businessman who runs a car speed control equipment company in Manchester, England, and in Sarasota, Florida, called AutoKontrol.
splats. She also signed the backrest in gold and rose colours and wrote "I wrote/Harry Potter/while sitting/on this chair" on the seat.
Before Rowling donated the chair to the "Chair-rish a Child" auction in support of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 2002, she painted the words "You may not/find me pretty/but don't judge/on what you see" on the stiles and
"The characters that Rowling created are the super heroes of the millennials as Batman and Superman were for the Sixties," said Rick Rounick, owner of the Soho Contemporary Art gallery, which specialises in pop culture. "The chair that Rowling claims gave her the magic to create the world of Harry Potter is a singularly significant object of her art and creative energy."

Cruise moving to Your Horoscopes Hubbard's UK base T
om Cruise is planning to live in the former home of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard.
The actor is a devoted follower of the controversial religious movement, and is reportedly moving to the $US16 million ($A21.32 million) mansion in East Grinstead, England where Hubbard once resided. Cruise put his own home in the English town up for sale last year, but is apparently not planning to abandon the area, which is Scientology's British base. Instead, the star is helping the movement's leader David Miscavige renovate the luxury Saint Hill Manor estate and use it as a home when he is in the UK.
According to the insider, the move has reaffirmed the Top Gun star's commitment to his faith and he hopes to promote it in Europe. Some of the continent's governments, such as Germany and France do not recognise Scientology as a religion. "It's worked a charm because Tom's more dedicated to Scientology than ever before," the source said. "He's investing a lot of his own money back into the UK Church and secretly the talk is how they want to be as influential as the Royal family.
"It might sound like a deluded dream but with bottomless cash and ongoing renovations they believe that, in time, Saint Hill Manor will overshadow "Tom is relocating to England and Buckingham Palace." uses the Scientology manor as his base," a source told Britain's Editors at the publication report that the Cruise-funded building Daily Mail newspaper. work will include the creation of a "It's the highest recognition to spa and gymnasium as well as a live where L high-end restaurant.

The mansion is also
near to the home of Cruise's adopted children with former wife Nicole Kidman, 23-year-old Bella and Connor, 21, who live 30km away in Croydon, England. Bella and her father have reportedly become close enough for the star to think of her as a potential leader within the Scientology movement.
"Tom's made a real effort with her lately and he clearly believes having a strong woman like Bella as a senior figure of the Church will help recruitment and its image as a whole," the source added.

If you decide to do the latter one, opt for a beach setting and flirt with someone you meet. CAPRICORN Being cautious works for you at times but being too cautious will make you end up nowhere.

The show's executive producer, Sue Vertue, said: "It's taken a while to gather everyone together for series four but I can confidently say I think it will be well worth the wait!"

eonardo DiCaprio's bear brawl and a steamy smooch from Fifty Shades of Grey are among movie moments battling for accolades at the MTV Movie Awards, where cheeky humour and naughty acts often upstage the winners at the youthorientated event.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the third-highest grossing film of all time, leads the nominees with 11 nods and will compete for movie of the year on Saturday alongside Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Creed, Deadpool and Straight Outta Compton. Viacom Inc's MTV Movie Awards, which will tape late on Saturday in Los Angeles and air on the MTV network on Sunday, ushers in the summer blockbuster season, featuring stars from upcoming action movies such as Captain America: Civil War, The Huntsman: Winter War and Suicide Squad. It's all about the unpredictable at the MTV Movie Awards, hosted by comedian Kevin Hart
and action star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, where fans vote for their favourite films and performances from the year. The show honours the year's biggest action-packed blockbusters that usually tend to be shunned during Hollywood's annual awards season. This year's irreverent categories include best fight - Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio and the Bear from The Revenant are among the nominees - and fan favourite award for best kiss. The best kiss nominees includes Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan from erotic movie Fifty Shades of Grey, Chris Hemsworth and Leslie Mann from comedy Vacation and comedian Amy Schumer and Bill Hader from raunchy comedy Trainwreck. Last year's awards show saw Zac Efron grab co-star Dave Franco's crotch when the two accepted the award for best comedic duo on stage, while Schumer shared a passionate kiss with model Amber Rose.

Remove Trump Hollywood star: petition T
housands of people have signed a petition calling for Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to be removed after it was repeatedly targeted by vandals.
The star has been daubed with a swastika, a mute symbol and even dog excrement during Trump's controversial campaign to become the next US president. The billionaire, who is the frontrunner to secure the Republican nomination, has been criticised for calling for a ban on Muslims entering the US and claiming women should face "some sort of punishment" for having abortions if the procedure was outlawed. The petition, which has attracted more than 15,000 signatures, claims Mr Trump's star is an "insult" and the acts of vandalism showed "the public's disdain" towards the monument. "It's clear that the community does not think he deserves
to be represented there," a statement on the Care2 Petitions website said.
"Trump's despicable messaging represents all the worst parts of our national conversation, which explains the public's disdain for this historical monument to him." The campaign comes after more than half a million people signed a petition in January calling for Mr Trump to be banned from entering the UK. It followed the former Apprentice star's comments on Muslims and his claims that parts of London were ''so radicalised'' that police were ''afraid for their own lives''. Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said there were no plans to remove the Trump star, which was bestowed in 2007. "Once a star has been added to the walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame," he said. "Because of this, we have never removed a star from the walk."

Kendra offers mum cash not to write book P
layboy pin-up-turned-reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson is begging her estranged mum to think twice before writing a tell-all about their relationship. Patti Wilkinson announced plans to reveal all about her daughter's life in a new book last year, explaining "there is only so much a mother can take", but Kendra is hoping she doesn't follow through. Speaking out about her literary gamble on Facebook, Patti wrote: "The time has come where I can't stay quiet anymore. I think a book is in order to tell the TRUTH! It will be factual and tell the entire story from MY eyes. Get ready for hearing some things that may take a certain someone down off of her pedestal." Mother-of-two Kendra, who has accused Patti of leaking stories to the press, insists she has no concerns about what her mum will write about, but she fears a book will destroy their relationship for good. "I don't think she was ready for me to have a life of my own," the
former model told Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday when asked why her relationship with her mother is so bad.
"I don't think she was ready to give me up to a man and have kids... and I believe that's it, but I still don't know. I've asked and I just hope one day I'll find out what I've done wrong." Kendra tackles the idea of her mum's book project in the new season of her hit US show Kendra On Top, and admits she can't imagine what dirt her mother has on her. "It's just been a rough couple of years and I just hope she doesn't write the book. Not in my case, not because I'm fearful; I just want her to remain hopeful with a relationship with me. "She put the threat out that she would write a tellall, and right now I'm trying to find out (what she's planning)... I'm still waiting on the answer and right now I'm not getting it, so that's kinda scary." And Kendra insists if her mother wants cold hard cash, she's prepared to pay her off, adding, "I would love to (do that) if she needs it." Hugh Hefner's ex, who is now married to former American football star Hank Baskett, is hoping the death of her maternal grandmother on Tuesday will help heal the rift between herself and her mum. "I just hope and pray... that right now we find some sort of hope with everything that's happened with my grandma."

Steven Tyler contemplating Aerosmith tour S
teven Tyler has fuelled speculation Aerosmith's next tour will be their last. The band is currently on a hiatus while frontman Tyler tackles a bid as a solo country music artist, but he is planning to regroup with the I Don't Want to Miss a Thing stars to hit the road again next year - and it may well be a goodbye trek. "I'm doing 30 (solo) shows from May until August," the singer tells Rolling Stone. "And then in 2017 we go out with Aerosmith. We're probably doing a farewell tour." Tyler, 68, goes on to insist if they all agree to bow out now, he would be happy with Aerosmith's legacy, but he would be just as satisfied if the fivepiece decides to forge on with another album, too. "Look, there's two bands that still have the original members, us and the (Rolling) Stones," he explains. "I'm grateful for that. Whether we do a farewell tour or go into the studio and do another record, I'm just excited about it." Tyler's comments emerge months after his bandmate, guitarist Brad Whitford, also raised the prospect of retiring Aerosmith sooner rather than later. "We are actually talking about that - about actually putting together a sort of wind-down tour which we would call the Farewell Tour," he said on the Eddie Trunk podcast in December. "I guess it's just because of our age. You know, something's gonna happen. It's just inevitable that somebody's not gonna be able to do it anymore. So it would be very nice to take a nice long bow and say thank you and... put it to bed kind of gracefully." Aerosmith last performed together in September. Whitford also revealed the band was due to hit the road in 2016, but Steven wanted to stay in the studio to complete work on his new solo material.

Jane Fonda's unhappy childhood
ane Fonda has told how she struggled to become a perfect woman as her father made her feel fat and unattractive. The 78-year-old actress said she had battled with her body image since childhood, developing an eating disorder and entering unhappy relationships to "validate" herself. Speaking in The Sunday Times, the Oscar winner said: "The culture that incubated in me since childhood insists that to be loved, a female has to be perfect: thin, pretty, have good hair, be nice rather than honest, ready to sacrifice, never smarter than a man, never angry. This didn't matter so much when I was a strong, feisty tomboy during childhood. But when I hit adolescence and the spectre of womanhood loomed, all that mattered was how I looked and fitted in. "My father would send my stepmother to tell me to lose weight and wear longer skirts. One of my stepmothers told me all the ways I'd have to change physically if I wanted a boyfriend. Meanwhile, I sort of ... hollowed out. Almost everything interesting about me scooped itself out." The fitness guru admitted it took years for her to become a true
feminist, needing to confront her relationships with men first. She said: "It's hard to be embodied if you hate your body. I developed an eating disorder (probably to fill the emptiness), and given that it was, at least partially, an inauthentic me that I presented to the world, I instinctively chose men who would never notice because of their own addictions and 'issues'. Ah, but they were interesting, charismatic, alpha men, and they validated me. If he's with me, I must be someone. "For me to really confront sexism would have required doing something about my relationships with men, and I couldn't. That was too scary." Confessing she didn't embody feminism until she was 60, Ms Fonda said women were a core issue that needed to be addressed, adding: "We will fail to solve any problem poverty, peace, sustainable development, environment, health - unless we look at it through a gender lens and make sure the solution will be good for women. "It took me 30 years to get it, but it's okay to be a late bloomer, as long as you don't miss the flower show."

Man’s best friend is getting smaller
" The preference for smaller dogs correlates with a trend towards more high density living"
A
ustralian pedigree dog lovers are choosing pugs and bulldogs over Labradors and German Shepherds, analysis by University of Sydney researchers shows. Published in Canine Genetics and Epidemiology, the findings reveal Australian fans of purebred dogs now favour small, brachycephalic breeds – with shorter and wider heads – which are more susceptible to respiratory problems, skin and eye conditions, and digestive disorders. The data on numbers of each breed registered, are published each year by the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC), and suggest veterinarians may need to prepare to treat more dogs with these conditions. The study investigated changes in the AKNC’s registration statistics between 1986 and 2013, examining trends in demand for Australian purebred dogs of various height, size and head shape. The preference for smaller dogs correlates with a trend towards more high density living, says one of the lead researchers Professor Paul McGreevy from the University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science.
Professor McGreevy co-authored the research with PhD candidate Kendy Teng.
often resulting in mild to life-threatening respiratory problems.
“Changes in the types of dwellings Australians are buying may indicate the space available for dogs has shrunk. Moreover, the purpose of dog ownership has continued to shift from the early days of domestication, away from duties such as hunting and guarding properties, for which dogs are more likely to be larger, to pure companionship, which can be fulfilled by a dog of any size.”
“A study in the UK shows half of owners of breeds susceptible to these health issues seem unaware of BAOS in their dogs,” says Professor McGreevy. “This implies owners did not make a fully informed decision when purchasing their brachycephalic dog, and that they may be unaware of treatment options when BAOS emerges, and that affected dogs may breed and pass the predisposition to BAOS onto future generations.”
Reasons behind the penchant for dogs with short, wide faces are less obvious but could reflect fashion, says Professor McGreevy. “Other studies also indicate the infantile facial features commonly seen in brachycephalic dogs with their round faces, chubby cheeks, big eyes and small nose and mouth, stimulate feelings of affection in humans.” Unfortunately, life expectancy among these popular breeds is an estimated four years lower than non-brachycephalic breeds. Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome (BAOS) is particularly prevalent,
Professor McGreevy and Kendy Teng co-wrote Trends in popularity of some morphological traits of purebred dogs in Australia with Dr Navneet Dhand and Dr Jenny-Ann Toribio, also from the University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science. The AKNC data used in the study accounted for 16.5 percent of newborn puppies in 2014 therefore may not be representative of the general dog population in Australia. It is more likely to better reflect trends in Australia’s purebred population.

INXS, CHISEL & THE OILS – ANZAC TRIBUTE T
he Chelsea Heights Hotel explodes with an Oz Rock Trifecta bringing together the music of three of Australian Rock music’s biggest bands, INXS, Cold Chisel and the mighty Midnight Oil. Australia’s most renowned tribute bands INXSIVE, Gold Chisel and The Midnight Oil Show come together in one super concert at one of Melbourne’s most iconic live music venues INXS helped shape the Australian musical landscape in the 80’s and 90’s. Their infectious blend of dance/rock saw them conquer the music charts not only in Australia, but worldwide. They built a reputation for staging electric and engaging live shows, fronted by their wildly charismatic and unpredictable front man, Michael Hutchence. Bringing to life this iconic Australian band INXSIVE have been performing to audiences right across our sunburnt country since 1997 and have built a reputation on reproducing not only the sound of Inxs, but also the live show that made them as memorable as they are today. Inxsive give every audience the opportunity to re-experience the inspiring, and proudly Australian music that Inxs created throughout their career. They are a “must see” for all Inxs fans and lovers of classic Aussie rock! COLD CHISEL we’re unquestionably one of the finest and most respected rock groups in Australian history. The songs of Cold Chisel helped to form part of what we like to call “The Great Australian Soundtrack”, with
many of them being best described as Aussie Rock Anthems. It is with great pride that GOLD CHISEL take these songs across Australia and allow all audiences to relive their memories, and at the same time introduce these incredible songs to a whole new generation of fans. Formed in the late 90’s, Gold Chisel perfectly re-creates the timeless Chisel classics we all grew up with. An absolute class act! MIDNIGHT OIL were more than just a rock & roll band. From the northern beaches of Sydney to the streets of Manhattan, they stopped traffic, inflamed passions, inspired fans, challenged concepts and broke new ground. To see Midnight Oil in full flight was to experience the full visceral, transcendent, kinetic power of live rock & roll. To experience Midnight Oil was to be inspired by ideas, to be encouraged to live life more passionately, to get involved in the world around you. Bringing the music of ‘The Oils’ back to live
venues around the country, THE MIDNIGHT OIL SHOW celebrate the music, the influences, and the artistry of the mighty Midnight Oil…They’re bringing back The Oils…with or without them! It’s a night of non-stop Aussie classics with three big bands at one of Melbourne’s greatest live music venues. Join INXSIVE, GOLD CHISEL and THE OILS for “AUSTRALIAN MADE, THE OZ ROCK TRIBUTE CONCERT” at THE CHELSEA HEIGHTS HOTEL on ANZAC EVE SUNDAY 24TH APRIL. Doors open at 8pm and Show starts at 9pm sharp.

Its striking design and high-end technologies demonstrate the concentrated expertise of the premium brand. Audi is unveiling its new open high-performance sports car at the New York International Auto Show 2016. “With its spontaneous throttle response, quick revving-up and inimitable sound, the 5.2 FSI naturally aspirated engine in the new Audi R8 Spyder delivers undiluted emotion,” said Dr.Ing.

of the road being traveled. The controls place the focus squarely on the driver, who can operate all important functions with the multifunction and satellite push-buttons without having to take their hands off the steering wheel or look away from the road. The large 12.3-inch, fully digital Audi virtual cockpit presents all information using rich 3D graphics – if desired, in a special performance view that includes driving dynamics information. The build quality of the new R8 Spyder, which is extensively hand-built at a manufactory near Neckarsulm, is of the highest standard. The driver and passenger sit on sport seats or bucket seats with a more highly contoured seat shape, for superior lateral support. Over and above the extensive standard equipment, customers have almost unlimited scope to tailor both the interior and exterior to their individual preferences. Add-on body components such as the front spoiler, the diffuser and the new sideblades are also available in carbon. LED headlights with newly developed laser technology maximise visibility and range for the driver, bringing increased safety at night. The new Audi R8 Spyder will arrive in Australia in the first half of 2017. Pricing and specification details will be announced closer to launch.

FISHINGREPORT GREAT FISHING CONDITIONS!
T
he fishing is still going well in Westernport; Water temperatures seem to be holding around the 18 degrees’ mark with whiting going well. Hot spots at the moment include the Eastern channel as some anglers are getting bag limits of quality fish up to 45cm. As far as how to catch these amazingly good eating fish goes, Pipi has been the standout bait with the use of a running sinker rig. The new moon saw some nice gummies snooping. This is a good sign for months to come as fishing for this species will only improve. Be sure to get your fresh bait ready! The Squid have kicked into action especially along Tyabb Bank where there are some rippers feeding during the slack of the high and low tides. Drifting with Jigs seems to be the winning tactic so far. But keep in mind, when you hook up to a squid it’s smart to mark that spot and to keep drifting over it as you have probably found a good patch of them. When you hook up onto a squid don’t be afraid to cast a jig behind it because there is a good chance to get his buddy.
Brought to you by:
There have been some big schools of salmon around with Tailor mixed in. This can be some of the best fishing as it is a load of fun on light gear and even non fisherman get addicted to this action. So next time you’re on the water keep your eyes open for the birds working and cast a lure into the school and have fun. Port Phillip is going well also with squid, whiting and pinkies being caught in close with some thumping Snapper being caught out wide from Mt Martha. Tuna season is under way and improving quick. Many of the keen anglers are already getting ready for the unreel action that these sports fish provide. Spot on Fishing in Mount Gambier report that the boys on board ‘Remarkable Fishing Charters’ have just sent us through a pic of this southern Bluefin tuna in 100 metres of water off Port MacDonnell. Hopefully we see a few more fish venture in closer!

NEGOTIATIONS NOT HURTING MY FOOTY: CRONK
O
ff-contract Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk isn't carrying the weight of negotiations onto the playing field.
Cronk said last week that contract decisions were playing on his mind and he wasn't happy with his performances this NRL season, but now he says the two matters are unrelated.
"I probably made the mistake of being a bit too honest in a press conference," he told SEN Breakfast.
"I said 'look I'm thinking about it, it's obviously in the back of my mind' and next minute everyone is talking about this decision and that it's affecting me and things like that."
At 32, Cronk's next contract will likely be the last of his career, and a move to Sydney to be closer to girlfriend and Fox Sports presenter Tara Rushton looms as a real possibility. The Queensland and Australia No.7 last re-signed with Melbourne in 2012, however the fact he has hired agent George Mimis to manage his affairs for the first time in his career highlights the new personal challenges facing him this time around. "It's really difficult," Cronk said. "I remember a few years back I went through a similar situation and it was quite an easy breeze. "I didn't have too many stresses or relationship sacrifices to make or decisions causing me some strain. "This time around it's more delicate, it's about life after football."
The Gumtree ad that motivated Reds' Elrich
T
arek Elrich was never more determined for Adelaide United to succeed in the A-League than when he was alerted to a Gumtree link advertising some not-very-hot property. "Someone was selling their two season passes for $50, saying they were sick of watching a bunch of flops," the Socceroos defender said.
Saturday night. Having done all they could by beating Melbourne City on Friday, the anxious team was left to watch their fate unfold on TV.
"I guarantee those tickets are worth a lot more than $50 now," Elrich said. "It was a hard place to be at the start of the season - not winning in eight games, the pressure was on. "But as a team we believed ... and now we're here." The Reds' minor premiership hopes hinged on Brisbane slipping up against Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park on

Masters meltdowns through the years
J
ordan Spieth's Masters meltdown on the back nine was hardly the first at Augusta National.
JORDAN SPIETH (2016) Four straight birdies had Spieth, chasing back-to-back green jackets, holding a fiveshot lead at the turn. He bogeyed No.10 and No.11 before putting two balls in the water in a quadruple bogey seven at the par-3 12th, handing Danny Willett a three-stroke advantage which he kept in claiming a first major title. RORY MCILROY (2011) McIlroy squandered a four-shot lead going into the final round. He shot 43 on the back nine and wound up 10 shots from the lead, leaving Charl Schwartzel to win his first major championship. GREG NORMAN (1996) The Australian had a final-round 78 to blow a six-shot lead in 1996, handing the Masters to Nick Faldo who shot a 67. Norman threeputted from about 12 feet on the 11th, sent his next shot into the water for a double bogey and had another double on 16 when his tee shot got wet again. ED SNEED (1979) American Sneed bogeyed the last three holes and lost in the Masters' first suddendeath playoff with Fuzzy Zoeller winning on his Augusta debut. KEN VENTURI (1956) Venturi, then an amateur, had a four-shot lead, before firing 80 in the final round to lose by one shot to Jack Burke Jr. To make matters worse, it was the first time CBS had televised the third and fourth round of the tournament.
Willett wins amazing Masters
E
ngland's Danny Willett has won the Masters after benefitting from a spectacular back nine collapse by defending champion Jordan Spieth.
Willett became just the second Englishman since Nick Faldo to claim a green jacket, thanks to a final round five-under-67 to be five-under 283 for the tournament for a three-shot win. World No.2 Spieth led Willett by five strokes when he made the turn at Augusta National on Sunday, before an monumental implosion in which he dropped six shots in the opening three holes of the back nine. After four straight birdies to close the front side, he made bogey on the 10th and again on the 11th, but it was an incredible quadruple bogey seven on the famous parthree 12th at Amen Corner that drowned his charge. Two balls in the water and another into a bunker threw the doors wide open and Willett was the man to step up.
Willett won by three shots over Spieth (73) and countryman Lee Westwood (69) who finished at two-under. Paul Casey (67), another Englishman, joined Americans JB Holmes (68) and Dustin Johnson (71) in fourth at one under. World No.1 Jason Day shot 73 to finish at one over as the leading Australian in a tie for 10th. Starting on the same score as Willett, Day was unable to muster a similar charge. He opened with a routine par but then failed to birdie the very gettable par-five second hole when his approach fanned way right into the crowds. A bogey on the fifth hurt his cause and while he made birdie on the par five eighth, a sloppy bogey on the 10th left him well off the lead pace. A late birdie on 15 was cancelled by a final hole bogey. Adam Scott, Australia's only previous Masters winner, shot 76 in his final round to be 11 over for the week.
Not since Greg Norman's epic collapse in 1996 and Rory McIlroy's 2011 meltdown Cameron Smith closed out his first has the Masters been so gut-wrenching for appearance at Augusta with a two-overa leader. 74 to finish at 15-over.

Campbell injures wrist while sleeping
M
ore rest will help former world champion Cate Campbell overcome a wrist complaint that has flared at the Rio Olympic swimming trials in Adelaide. Unfortunately that is just what caused it. Campbell has added to her long list of injuries with her most bizarre one yet. The former 100m freestyle world champion revealed on Monday she had damaged a wrist joint while napping last week. Campbell said she had bent her wrist back awkwardly - not once but twice - in her sleep. "I am an aggressive napper," Campbell laughed. "I woke up the first time and the wrist was sore then somehow I did it again - that did it." Campbell said "aggressive" physio had helped but did not rule out needing a local anaesthetic to relieve the pain. Asked what the best treatment was, Campbell said: "More rest should do it a lot of good". Campbell (53.25 seconds) was still fastest ahead of Monday night's 100m freestyle semi-finals, with her world champion sister Bronte (53.73) third quickest. The 2013 100m world champion wasn't getting much sympathy from her younger sister Bronte. "She is pretty talented to be able to injure herself while asleep," Bronte Campbell said. "Even when she is not doing anything she is hurting herself." Cate Campbell has a knack for overcoming hardship. She almost gave the sport away when she withdrew from the 2010 Commonwealth Games with a form of chronic fatigue syndrome. She bounced back by the 2012 London Olympics to help Australia win 4x100m freestyle gold, only to pull out of the individual event with pancreatitis. And she had overcome 2015 shoulder surgery to appear back to her best when she arrived for the Rio trials. Meanwhile, dual world champion Mitch Larkin (one minute, 57.27 seconds) was two seconds faster than his nearest rival ahead of Monday night's 200m backstroke semi-finals. Thomas Fraser-Holmes (200m individual medley) and Taylor McKeown (200m breaststroke) were fastest ahead of Monday night's other semi-finals. In Monday night's main event, Cameron McEvoy, James Magnussen and Kyle Chalmers will vie for 100m freestyle gold.

Pacquiao beats Bradley in farewell fight
M
anny Pacquiao may not be ready for retirement just quite yet.
Pacquiao returned from the biggest loss of his career with a bang Saturday night, knocking down Timothy Bradley twice on his way to a unanimous 12-round decision in their welterweight showdown. Pacquiao shook off the ring rust from a layoff of nearly a year after losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. to beat Bradley for a second time in the rubber match between the two fighters. In doing so, the Senate candidate in his native Philippines showed he may have to reconsider his plans to retire and devote his full time to politics. Pacquiao (58-6-2) knocked down Bradley (33-2-1) in the seventh round, though Bradley seemed to have slipped. He left no doubt in the ninth with a big left hand that sent Bradley sprawling.
the people." Pacquiao had no problems with the right shoulder he injured against Mayweather as he stalked Bradley across the ring, looking to land big shots. He landed enough of them to make Bradley wary, and the knockdown in the ninth round seemed to take the rest of the fight out of Bradley. "Manny was strong the entire fight and he was also very patient," Bradley said. "I wasn't professional enough to stay patient myself and I walked into shots." Both fighters took some time to get untracked, with the early rounds offering little action. Pacquiao seemed a bit rusty from his layoff and Bradley was unwilling to get inside and trade punches.
Pacquiao began picking up the pace and stalking Bradley, though, coming in behind a right jab and following it with his left hand. In the seventh round, he seemed to graze Bradley with a pair of punches and The fight was scored 116-110 by all three ringside judges. The Associated Press had Bradley went to his knees for what referee Tony Weeks ruled a knockdown. it 117-110. In the final seconds, many in the crowd of 14,665 at the MGM Grand arena were on their feet chanting "Manny! Manny!" as Pacquiao tried to end the bout with a flourish. He never came close to finishing off Bradley, though he was so far ahead on the ringside scorecards that it didn't matter.
"He was very quick, very explosive," Bradley said.
Pacquiao, who was guaranteed $US7 million ($A9.33 million), was fighting for the first time since losing to Mayweather last May in the richest fight ever. He lost a unanimous decision in that fight, blaming his laclustre performance on the shoulder injury that flared up in the fourth round and required surgery afterward.
If the fight was indeed the end of the 37-year-old Pacquiao's career, it was a remarkable one. Aside from the loss to Mayweather last year he did little wrong in If it was Pacquiao's last fight, he goes winning eight weight class titles in 21 years out as one of the biggest pay-per-view as a pro. attractions in the sport.

Hogg turning IPL at age 45
B
rad Hogg is showing no sign of slowing down as the veteran Australian spinner produced another masterful performance on the opening weekend of the Indian Premier League. The 45-year-old was almost unplayable on the Eden Park wicket, taking 3-19 to help his Kolkata Knight Riders to a nine-wicket win over the Dehli Daredevils. "There were dry patches there as well as the grass and it added that natural variation," Hogg said of the wicket. "So if you got it on the grass it skidded on and if you got it on the dry patch it turned. "When you've got a wicket like that when you don't know what's going to happen at the other end, god knows what the batsman's thinking." Hogg beat Pawan Negi in flight to have him stumped, before he drew edges from both Sanju Samson and Indian Test spinner Amit Mishra in his four-over spell. He was well backed-up by fellow Australian John Hastings, who took 2-6 as the Daredevils were bowled out for 98. Australian limited over quick Nathan Coulter-Nile had little impact with the ball for Dehli, taking 0-32 off four overs as Kolkata chased down the target with almost six over to spare.

Suns' AFL win over Blues comes at cost
T
hree wins from three AFL starts but Gold Coast's injury curse has struck again in a 54-point win against Carlton. The Suns maintained their unbeaten start to the season with the 13.17 (95) to 5.11 (41) victory on Saturday night at Metricon Stadium but lost defenders Trent McKenzie and Rory Thompson to injury during the contest. McKenzie broke his nose in a marking contest in the opening quarter while Thompson, whose 2015 campaign was wrecked by injuries, came off in the third term after hurting his right ankle. Despite the injuries, the Suns completed a comfortable, if unconvincing, victory over the winless Blues. The Suns had 23 marks inside 50 to Carlton's five but, too often, failed to make their pressure count. Tom Lynch continued his strong start to the season, kicking four goals to be the early leader in the Coleman Medal race with 13 overall. Jack Martin backed up his careerbest four goals against Fremantle last weekend with three more majors. Aaron Hall was once more superb with 40 disposals and a goal, while captain Gary Ablett picked up 36 disposals and an impressive eight tackles. The Blues had patches of good play during the match but, overall, made little impact. Ed Curnow led the way with 29 disposals, five marks and four tackles and young defender Jacob Weitering also had a strong display in a wellbeaten team.

Grima nears AFL comeback with Bombers
N
athan Grima's fairytale AFL comeback is moving closer to fruition, with Essendon coach John Worsfold confirming the former North Melbourne defender is a chance to face Geelong this weekend. Worsfold is considering several changes to his side after the Bombers suffered a 61-point loss to Port Adelaide on Friday night. Grima was forced into retirement by a chronic back injury in July last year, having managed just 86 games in seven seasons with the Kangaroos. His last game was North's heavy loss to Sydney in the 2014 preliminary final, but having been a surprise top-up player for the Dons, has pushed himself into contention with solid form in the VFL. "Grima's available this week, we didn't really consider him for selection last week around getting him as fit as we possibly can," Worsfold said on Monday. "It's obviously a brilliant story to see him feeling good physically because his back injury was a pretty serious one. The fact that he's back playing footy at all, let alone AFL level, is great news." Essendon were jumped early by the Power at Adelaide Oval, but Worsfold was happy with the way his charges worked into the game after a poor start.
Coach happy with improving Demons A
s a team of rookies playing against an experienced outfit on an unfamiliar ground in high winds, Melbourne coach Paul Roos is proud his charges came within a goal of beating North Melbourne.
"Overall I think we saw a showcase of the talent we've got," the coach said. "We're all about improvement.
"From round two to round three we've improved significantly against a highquality opposition who's played preliminary finals for the past two years.
It was the Demons' debut at Hobart's Bellerive Oval on Sunday when the Kangaroos won 21.10 (136) to 20.11 (131) "It's a pleasing day, but you don't win and in a tight-fought contest that came down to that's where the frustration comes in." the final siren.

"There's a lot more positives than negatives," Roos said of the game. "You would have loved Billy to have marked that ball and go back and kick a goal, that would have been nice." Nevertheless Roos is marking up Sunday's showing as a step forward.
Standout performances came from topscorer Dean Kent with four goals, Jesse Hogan with three goals and 19 disposals, Bernie Vince with 32 disposals, and Max Gawn with 63 disposals.
Melbourne meet Collingwood at the MCG for round four.
The heavy loss came on the back of their surprise breakthrough win over Melbourne, the coach admitting the roller coaster ride of form was likely to continue as his throwntogether side developed chemistry. "There's potential that our peaks and troughs are a bit more exaggerated (though)," he said. "We're not the only club that's going to go through that - some of the great teams in the competition have those weeks as well. "But we're still not really sure where we sit - there's a lot of challenges to learn about where we're at."
