MELBOURNE TO WELCOME

M

elbourne is set to explode into the new year with the city’s biggest ever fireworks show.

Lord Mayor Robert Doyle has announced details of the glittering $3 million fireworks display that will be visible from anywhere with a view of the city skyline.

“The city will sparkle as 13.5 tonnes of fireworks, a third more than last year, are fired from 22 rooftops across the city, making it the biggest fireworks show that Melbourne has ever seen,” Mr Doyle said in a statement on Friday.

SA COP KILLER GETS MORE JAIL OVER ESCAPE

A

man who killed a police officer more than 30 years ago has time added to his prison sentence for escaping custody in Adelaide.

Gordon Marshall, 48, fled from staff at a pre-release centre north of Adelaide as he was returning from day leave in July.

He was detained outside the city’s main court complex in the CBD the next day, putting the building in lockdown for a short time.

The District Court sentenced him on Monday for being unlawfully at large, adding nine months to his existing prison term.

The Northfield facility that he escaped from houses prisoners in their final months before they are released into the community.

Jailed initially for shooting dead a police officer in 1985, Marshall was released on parole in 1996 but was jailed again in 2008 over further offending.

In 2011, he divorced from pop star and actress Jennifer Lopez.

Vic man gets life for murdering parents

I

n order to get away with murdering his mother, Ian Thomas had to kill his father.

With church-going Pauline Thomas, 63, lying dead in the Wangaratta family home’s shed, Thomas, 38, armed himself with a 12-gauge shot gun and a pick axe handle and waited for his father to return home.

He shot William Thomas once through the chest.

The injury killed the 65-yearold but Thomas, enraged, attacked the body with the pick-axe handle.

He then brought his mother’s body into the house, wrapped both of his parents in sheets and doonas, and fled.

While on the road he called his mother and left a chilling message: “Say G’day to dad ...

Love you Mum, bye.”

After his arrest two days later on April 23, 2013,

Thomas told police his father had murdered his mother and he had killed his father in selfdefence.

His Victorian Supreme Court murder trial heard he had confessed to his girlfriend Jacinta Emselle that he had strangled his mother because she was nagging and

annoying him.

The jury rejected his account, and Ian Thomas was on Monday jailed for life - with a minimum terms of 32 years - for murdering his parents.

Justice Lex Lasry said Thomas strangled his mother and then murdered his father to shift the blame to him.

“It was a calculated plan and callous killing,” Justice Lasry said.

Speaking outside the Wangaratta court, Thomas’ aunt Libby Thomas said her nephew deserved to be punished.

The fractured Thomas family had initially stood by Ian until the lawyer they hired told them to walk away.

“We visited Ian in the remand centre and he just blatantly lied to us that he didn’t do it,” Ms Thomas said.

“We looked like fools.”

Pauline and William Thomas were “like everyone” she said.

“There was no sign ... of any problems. This came as a real shock.”

She said her nephew will never accept responsibility for what he did.

“Because Ian is Ian,” she said.

EXTREMIST VIC CHILD KILLER ‘FACES VIC TALKS OF DANGER PLANS: HARD TIME IN JAIL’ COURT

A

Victorian child killer who stomped on his girlfriend’s toddler has been assaulted in custody and will find jail time more onerous than other criminals, a court has heard.

Former security guard Mussie Debresay was found guilty by a jury of the toddler’s manslaughter in September.

He was cleared of the more serious charge of murder.

The two-year-old died as a result of blunt force trauma in May, 2005 when her abdomen was compressed by a severe force doctors said couldn’t have been accidental.

Defence barrister Dermot Dann QC told a Supreme Court plea hearing on Monday his client would find jail more burdensome than other inmates.

He had been assaulted in custody for his crime, made a number of suicide attempts and developed a major depressive disorder.

Mr Dann also argued an 11year delay in the case should count in his client’s favour.

Debresay had felt like he had been under investigation the whole time and at one stage had a murder charge hanging over his head, he said.

Prosecutor Sally Flynn told the court Debresay’s assault on the vulnerable child was violent, brutal and deliberate.

Stomping on the child as she lay helpless on the floor was a particularly violent act, she said.

Debresay failed to seek immediate medical help, and then lied to treating doctors

to try to protect himself, Ms Flynn said.

The victim’s brother told police he saw Debresay stomping or standing on his sister because she’d been naughty and had urinated on the couch.

Justice Forrest said the jury accepted the toddler’s injury must have been inflicted with “very significant force”.

Mr Dann said Debresay has prospects of rehabilitation, the support of his family and understands his sentence will be lengthy.

He will be sentenced on Wednesday.

‘Liquid biopsy’ hope for pancreatic cancer

T

umour DNA in the bloodstream can be used to predict the survival chances of patients with pancreatic cancer, research suggests.

The “liquid biopsy” could help doctors work out the best treatment strategies for patients with advanced forms of the disease, scientists believe.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers because it is so often diagnosed late.

Scientists in the US looked for traces of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood of 135 pancreatic cancer patients.

Of these, 31 had operable tumours, 36 had locally advanced disease, and 68 had cancer that had spread around the body.

Of the operable patients, six had detectable ctDNA. These patients survived for 19.3 months compared with 32.2 months for those with no tumour DNA in their

blood.

Among the 104 patients with advanced disease, the 50 with detectable ctDNA survived just 6.5 months. The remainder with no ctDNA survived for 19 months.

Dr Jean-Baptiste Bachet, from Sorbonne University in Paris, said: “Our study ... confirms the strong prognostic value of the presence of ctDNA and of its level, when detected, in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Victorian primary school teacher who sexually abused six of his students during the 1970s has lost a bid to have his jail term slashed.

Robert Leonard Morris pleaded guilty to sex offences against the children and was jailed in March for six years,

with a minimum of four years.

Between 1971 and 1977 Morris inappropriately touched children aged six to 13 and made them touch his genitals, his sentencing hearing was told.

The court heard that happened sometimes while they were sitting on his lap

while reading in front of classmates.

Morris argued the jail term was “manifestly excessive”.

This was despite the sentencing judge indicating that he was mindful that, at the time of offending, the maximum sentence for each charge was five years’

“Our results demonstrate the utility of circulating biomarkers in subclassifying cancers and managing treatment.

“We need to confirm these results in prospective clinical trials to better assess the predictive value of this biomarker in light of the dynamic biological changes that occur during treatment.”

The findings are published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.

VIC SEX ABUSE TEACHER LOSES APPEAL BID A

imprisonment.

The Court of Appeal on Monday dismissed his appeal - saying the sentencing judge was right to treat the severe, lifelong impact of the assault on the victims with great significance.

Rare conjoined twin calves die after birth

A

farmer has stumbled on the body of rare conjoined twin calves on his property in Western Australia’s Great Southern region.

Malcolm Auld found the speckle park breed calves, who were up to nine weeks premature, on his property in Napier, about 30km north of Albany.

Mr Auld said he had not seen conjoined calves in his 32 years of cattle farming, and described the incident as a “freak of nature”.

Conjoined twins occur when an embryo doesn’t completely divide in half, and most do

not survive as the animals’ physiology usually fails shortly after birth.

Mr Auld named the twins Dr Speckle and Mr Pied, after what he considered the “most famous split personality”, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Head of Murdoch University’s farm animal veterinary services Michael Laurence said while conjoined twins were uncommon, he had seen many abnormalities with cattle.

“I’ve seen calves with extra “Vets see it all.” legs, missing pieces, two He said deformities were rare but not unsurprising, heads, inside out calves,” Dr however he was surprised Laurence told AAP.

Ph: 1300 BIG NEWS Jordanian security forces fire unidentified projectiles into Karak Castle, during an ongoing attack, in the central town of Karak, about 140 kilometers (87 miles) south of the capital Amman in Jordan, Sunday, Dec.18, 2016. Officials say gunmen have carried out a series of attacks in central Jordan, including at the Crusader castle popular with tourists, killing four members of the Jordanian security forces and a woman visiting from Canada.

Gunmen kill 10 in Jordan attacks

G

unmen ahave ssaulted Jordanian police in a series of attacks killing seven officers, two local civilians and a woman visiting from Canada.

At least 34 people, including two foreign nationals, were wounded in Sunday’s violence, which was one of the bloodiest attacks in Jordan in recent memory.

Security officials said in a statement at least four gunmen were killed and that troops continued to search the area. The statement said large amounts of weapons had been seized. It made no reference to local media reports that at one point, the attackers had held hostages.

The shootings were the latest in a series of attacks that have challenged this pro-Western kingdom’s claim to be an oasis of calm in a region threatened by Islamic extremists.

The killing of the Canadian tourist could further hurt Jordan’s embattled tourism sector, which has declined sharply since Islamic State seized large parts of neighboring Syria and Iraq two years ago.

Another Canadian was injured in the shooting,

Canada’s Global Affairs spokesman John Babcock said.

“Canadian officials in Amman are actively working with local authorities to gather additional information and are providing consular assistance to Canadians at this difficult time,” he said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks in and near Karak.

The chain of events began when a police patrol received reports of a house fire in the town of Qatraneh in the Karak district, said a statement by Jordan’s Public Security Directorate. Officers responding to the call came under fire from inside the house, the statement said. Two policemen were wounded and the assailants fled in a car, it said.

In another attack, gunmen fired on a security patrol in Karak, causing no injuries, the statement said.

Armed men also opened fire on a police station at Karak Castle, a Crusader fort, wounding 15 members of the security forces, 17 local civilians while two foreign nationals were injured.

Jordan faces homegrown extremism, with hundreds

of Jordanians fighting alongside other IS militants in Iraq and Syria and several thousand more supporting the extremist group in the kingdom. Jordan is a key US ally, and a member of a US-led military coalition fighting IS.

MEXICAN POLICE FIND FIVE BODIES IN TRUCK

P

olice in the western Mexico state of Jalisco have found a truck loaded with five bodies, all covered in plastic bags.

The chef state prosecutor says the discovery came early Sunday after police received a tip about a convoy of armed men travelling in pickup trucks.

Officers and soldiers went to check out the report and detained 10 suspects and the trucks on the outskirts of the state capital of Guadalajara.

State Prosecutor Eduardo Almaguer says investigators are working to identify the bodies.

Jalisco is home to Mexico’s fastest-growing drug gang, the Jalisco New Generation cartel.

Four metre shark killed Tas diver: coroner F

orensic tests found that a great white shark of up to 4.2 metres long killed an experienced diver off the east coast of Tasmania.

Hobart man Damian John Johnson, 46, died in July 2015 when diving in the Mercury Passage with his 20-yearold daughter, and coroner Olivia McTaggart on Monday published her findings based on the evidence of shark experts.

“They underwent a detailed analysis of the bite marks, injuries and damage to Mr Johnson’s dive gear for the purpose of determining the type and size of the shark and the manner of the attack,” Ms McTaggart said.

Scrapes including those found on Mr Johnson’s weight belt were consistent with the serrated teeth of a great white shark.

“The injuries sustained to Mr Johnson and the damage to the dive gear suggest at least two major bites,” she continued.

“Estimates of tooth base width based on measurements taken from the dive gear suggest a shark of 3.9 - 4.2 metres in length was responsible for the damage.”

During their early morning dive, Mr Johnson and his daughter returned to their boat with a haul of scallops and realising they were below their legal catch limit, he returned for more.

When Mr Johnson failed to resurface, his daughter returned to the water to find her father in the jaws of the shark.

The day before in the same stretch of water two divers survived a close brush with a large shark.

Despite attempting to alert authorities the same day, it was the next morning by the time the pair successfully raised the alarm and Mr Johnson was already dead.

Ms McTaggart said people should contact Tasmania Police in the event of a shark sighting, so the wider community can be notified.

There have been 11 reported shark attacks in Tasmanian waters since 1820 and Mr Johnson’s death is the latest of six fatal attacks, the coroner noted.

Sightings of great white sharks - a protected species - in the area of Mr Johnson’s death are not unusual.

Emergency crews searched farmland, grassland, wooded areas and creeks near Gisborne and Toolern Vale on Monday as the investigation into Ms Ristevski’s suspicious disappearance drags into a sixth month.

Detective Inspector Stephen Dennis says Monday’s search was “the most significant we’ve conducted to date”.

“We are confident that we will find out what happened,” he told reporters at the search site.

“We will be here for as long as it takes to search the area.”

Ms Ristevski, 47, has not been seen since June 29 when she reportedly left her Avondale Heights home after an argument with her

husband Borce.

She hasn’t used her bank accounts or phone since.

Det Insp Dennis refused to comment on whether Borce Ristevski was being cooperative and wouldn’t reveal what prompted Monday’s search.

“There has been ongoing discussions with various members of the family,” he said.

The detective said Christmas would be “extremely tough” for Ms Ristevski’s family.

“Karen has been missing for just on six months,” he said.

Aust to lose Triple-A ‘sooner or later’

E

conomists are warning both sides of politics to get their act together on budget repair, insisting it’s inevitable Australia will lose its triple-A credit rating.

Economic growth forecasts have been significantly downgraded in the federal government’s mid-year budget update on Monday, following shockingly weak September quarter growth figures.

Real GDP is expected to come in at two per cent in 2016/17, compared to 2.5 per cent in the May budget.

It’s now forecast to remain below trend at 2.75 per cent in 2017/18 before picking up to three per cent in 2018/19, after the national accounts showed the economy shrank by 0.5 per cent in the September quarter, posting its worst performance since

the global financial crisis.

While the update shows a slight improvement for the budget deficit in 2016/17, it’s expected to worsen by more than $10 billion over the forward estimates.

The long-awaited return to surplus is still projected for 2020/21.

That’s possible, but unlikely, AMP chief economist Shane Oliver says.

“If I was going to bet on it I’d say it’d be a year or two later,” he told AAP. Dr Oliver believes Treasury’s forecasts on wages growth - projected to top three per cent by 2018/19 - are too optimistic.

On top of that, spending remains too high and iron ore prices are unlikely to remain at current highs.

It’s a matter of when, not

if, Australia loses its triple-A rating.

“We’re seeing bigger deficits for longer than we saw as a result of the 1990s recession which is a poor indictment on our ability to control spending and balance the budget.

“Sooner or later, we will get downgraded.”

Ratings agencies Standard & Poor’s, Fitch and Moody’s have kept Australia’s rating at triple-A following Monday’s update.

HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham says the government has more work to do on budget repair.

“There’s more adjustment that needs to be made in terms of spending cuts and tax reform to get more revenue out of the tax system,” he said.

“Otherwise, ultimately

Australia may very well lose its triple-A rating.”

Treasurer Scott Morrison and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said the economy was continuing its transition in the wake of the mining investment boom, despite the downward revision to growth forecasts.

“Economic growth is expected to increase over the forecast period, as the drag from the decline in mining investment dissipates and the economy transitions to broader-based growth, supported by historically low interest rates and a lower Australian dollar,” they said.

“To support economic growth the government will continue to implement our national plan for jobs and growth.”

France has widened highrisk restrictions to the entire country after the detection of several cases of the H5N8 strain in farms. A case of H5N8 bird flu was also reported on a farm in Britain on Friday.

JAILED ISRAELI PM GETS EARLY RELEASE D Vic woman finds

tiger snake

tinsel on tree I t’s no partridge in a pear tree but a Melbourne woman got a seasonal surprise when she found a tiger snake entwined among the tinsel on her Christmas tree.

The Frankston woman discovered the serpent in her tree on Sunday morning and called in professional snake catcher Barry Goldsmith.

“It’s one of the more different ones, but we find them in all sorts of places,” Mr Goldsmith told AAP on

Monday.

“Tiger snakes are very good climbers.”

Mr Goldsmith, who runs Snake Catcher Victoria, says the woman did the right thing by taking a photo of the snake then closing off the room until a professional arrived.

With the warmer weather, snakes are more active, but people should leave them alone and not try and kill them, Mr Goldsmith said.

“It’s dangerous, it’s illegal, and it’s cruel.”

isgraced former Israeli president Moshe Katsav, who has been serving a sevenyear prison sentence for rape, is set for early release after five years behind bars, a parole board order says.

But the release of Katsav has been delayed by at least a week while state prosecutors consider whether to appeal against the parole board’s decision.

Katsav left office in 2007 and was convicted of raping an aide when he was a cabinet minister in the late 1990s.

He was also convicted of molesting or sexually harassing two other women employees during his 2000-

2007 term as president.

Katsav, a former member of the right-wing Likud party, was jailed in 2011. He had for a long time denied any wrongdoing and was turned down for early release on two previous occasions.

In its decision on Sunday, the board wrote that since the first failed hearing, Katsav had “travelled a long path, had benefited from prison therapy services and had recognised and regretted his actions against the women and the pain he had caused them”.

Katsav’s lawyers told reporters that he broke down in tears after hearing the board’s decision to release him.

Justice Paul Coghlan says Kepenci has refused HIV treatment since at least 2014 and is likely to die within six to 12 months.

US DICTIONARY SUMS UP 2016: SURREAL U Beaut Trailers Flat Top Trailers

W

as 2016 a dream or a nightmare?

Try something in between: “surreal”, which is US dictionary MerriamWebster’s word of the year, unveiled on Monday.

Meaning “marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream” or “unbelievable, fantastic”, the word joins Oxford’s “post-truth” and Dictionary.com’s “xenophobia” as the year’s top choices.

“It just seems like one of those years,” said Peter Sokolowski, MerriamWebster’s editor at large.

The company tracks yearover-year growth and spikes in lookups of words on its website to come up with the top choice.

This time around, there were many periods of interest in “surreal” throughout the year, often in the aftermath of tragedy, Sokolowski said.

Major spikes came after the Brussels attack in March and again in July, after the Bastille Day massacre in Nice and the attempted coup in Turkey.

All three received huge attention around the globe and had many in the media reaching for “surreal” to describe both the physical scenes and the “mental landscapes”, Sokolowski said.

The single biggest spike in lookups came in November, he said, specifically November 9, the day Donald Trump went from candidate to presidentelect.

There were also smaller

spikes, including after the death of Prince in April at age 57 and after the June shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

OTHER WORDS THAT RATED SIGNIFICANT SPIKES IN LOOKUPS: BIGLY: Yes, it’s a word but a rare and sometimes archaic form of “big” dating to around 1400, Sokolowski said. It made its way into the collective mind thanks to Trump, who was fond of using “big league” as an adverb but making it sound like bigly.

DEPLORABLE: Thank you, Hillary Clinton and your basket full of, though it’s not technically a noun.

IRREGARDLESS: It’s considered a “non-standard” word for regardless. It’s best avoided, Sokolowski said.

Irregardless was used during the calling of the last game of the World Series and its use was pilloried on social media, he said.

REVENANT: Leonardo DiCaprio played one in a movie of the same name, sending people scurrying to the dictionary. It describes “one that returns after death or a long absence”. It can be traced to the 1820s and while it sounds biblical, it is not, Sokolowski said.

FECKLESS: It’s how Vice President-elect Mike Pence described President Obama’s foreign policy when he debated Democrat Tim Kaine.

It means weak or worthless.

PREMIER OPENS T

he largest shark barrier in Western Australia has been officially opened as various Perth beaches were closed both days of the weekend due to sightings of the predator.

The $900,000, 430 metre by 270 metre barrier would make Sorrento Beach in Perth’s north a place

where people felt safe, Premier Colin Barnett said on Sunday.

About 5km south of Sorrento at Trigg Beach, swimmers and surfers including regular Sunday morning surf life saving “nippers” were ordered out of the water because of a shark being sighted less than an hour before Mr Barnett spoke at Sorrento.

FINAL STAGE HARDEST FOR PARIS OLY24 BID

P

aris is the hot favourite to win the right to host the 2024 Olympics Games but, having fallen at the final hurdle before, knows the hardest part is convincing the International Olympic Committee (IOC) its bid is the strongest.

In July 2005 in Singapore, London pipped an overconfident Paris, which had lost out to Beijing for the 2008 Games, to stage the 2012 Summer Olympics, triggering tears in the French camp when the vote results were announced.

Paris has put together a compact bid but three-time Olympic canoeing champion Tony Estanguet, who leads the candidacy with former International Rugby Board president Bernard Lapasset, warned that selling the project would be key.

“We’re exactly where we

wanted to be at this time of the process. What’s left for us now is to go and sell our project,” Estanguet told Reuters at the Paris 2024 general assembly.

“We have learnt from past bids to come back stronger than Paris 2012 with athletes now at the heart of the candidacy.”

Paris last hosted the Games in 1924. The winner of the three-horse race between Los Angeles, Paris and Budapest will be announced on

September 13, 2017 in Lima.

IOC president Thomas Bach recently said the bid process was producing “too many losers”, and there was speculation the 2024 and 2028 Games could be awarded simultaneously.

“We have not been officially contacted on that, so we stay on track and want to win the 2024 Olympics according to existing rules,” Estanguet said.

“The race is far from over.

There is still a long promoting phase left and it’s going to be very difficult. “We know too well that a campaign can be decided in the final weeks, just like in politics.”

France faces a presidential election in April and May, with power likely to shift from the left to the right as conservative Francois Fillon

and far-right leader Marine Le Pen are well ahead in the polls. “We are supported by the city (of Paris), the region and the State, who are not on the same political side,” Estanguet said.

“We’ve met several candidates and we have the feeling that they all support the bid. There is stability which may not be the case for Los Angeles who have a municipal election (in MarchMay).

“A match is won on D-Day. Whatever the situation will be when we go to Lima, we must stay focused until we cross the line,” said Estanguet.

WA’S LARGEST SHARK BARRIER Further south, Floreat and City beaches were closed for part of Saturday after two large tiger sharks were caught on an angler’s hook.

Two people were killed in shark attacks in a week in WA this year - diver Doreen Collyer and surfer Ben Gerring.

Of the 23 known sharkrelated fatalities in the past 100 years in WA, 14 have occurred since 2000.

Mr Barnett said there were obviously more sharks in the water and he believed governments had a responsibility to make beaches as safe as possible to protect a wonderful part of Australian life.

“Clearly more people are using our beaches. If you go surfing or diving on reefs people know there will always be that risk,” he told reporters.

“The state government is looking at a whole range of different methods to try to improve water safety and reduce the danger of shark attacks.”

The Sorrento shark barriers or beach enclosure is made of robust nylon and there are other such enclosures in Busselton, Albany and Dunsborough.

The role of surf lifesavers and helicopter aerial patrols

were crucial in spotting sharks and alerting people via social media, Mr Barnett said.

The WA government also has a controversial shark cull or capture and kill policy, which it used to catch sharks after this year’s two fatal attacks in which baited drum lines were set in areas deemed dangerous.

KANGAROO JUMPS INTO VICTORIAN COUPLE’S BED

A

Victorian couple was stunned to find a furry intruder land on their bed after a kangaroo crashed through their window.

Bill and Norma McConnell were enjoying a Sunday morning lie-in when a flying kangaroo bounced onto their bed.

“It’s obviously had the momentum to jump through the window and virtually land on top of Norma, only a few feet from her face” Mr McConnell told 3AW radio.

The roo kept going, bounding off the bed, through the bedroom door and down the passageway.

“It took a while to realise it was in fact a kangaroo” Mr McConnell said.

He gave chase, watching the marsupial bang into furniture as it tried to escape out closed windows.

“I picked up a chair, like a lion tamer, to protect myself just in case” Mr McConnnell

Riot police outside HMP Birmingham

INMATES TAKE OVER UK JAIL

H

undreds of rioting prisoners have taken control of at least two wings of an English jail, authorities say, in the latest and most serious disturbance at a British prison this year.

The trouble erupted at HMP Birmingham in central England, which can hold 1450 male prisoners, on Friday morning, forcing staff to withdraw, according to G4S, the private firm that runs the prison.

“Our teams withdrew following a disturbance and sealed two wings, which include some administrative offices,” said Jerry Pethericka, Managing Director for G4S custodial and detention services.

“The disturbance has since spread to two further wings.

All staff have been accounted for.” The Prison Officers’ Association (POA), which represents jail staff, said the incident involved about 300 inmates.

“It’s understood a set of keys giving access to residential areas was taken from an officer and that offenders have since occupied some blocks and exercise facilities,” West Midlands Police said in statement.

G4S said extra officers had been sent to the jail near Birmingham city centre which was built in 1849.

Specialist riot control officers and dog units had also been deployed to attempt to regain control.

The company said due to the severity of the incident, the Prison Service had taken charge of the operation.

“The situation is contained, the perimeter is secure and there is no risk to the public,” the Ministry of Justice said in a statement.

“We are absolutely clear that prisoners who behave in this way will be punished and could spend significantly longer behind bars,” There have been several serious incidents in jails this year including an alleged murder, and last month prisoners took over parts of Bedford prison in central England before police and extra prison officers were drafted in to restore control.

A week after the Bedford incident, thousands of prison officers in England and Wales walked out in protest at rising levels of jail violence and concerns about the health and safety of staff and inmates.

The government has unveiled plans to reform prisons and improve safety, but the Prison Governors’ Association (PGA) said jails were in a parlous state because of a decline in pay and the cutting of staff numbers.

“The prison service is around 800 uniformed staff short and the cavalry of the promised additional 2500 staff are months and years away from arriving,” it added in a statement.

NASA CHECKING DRILL PROBLEM ON MARS ROVER

N

ASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has halted its trek up a mountain filled with potentially habitable niches for life while engineers troubleshoot a problem with one of its key instruments.

Curiosity landed on Mars four years ago to determine if the planet most like earth in the solar system ever had the ingredients for life.

To answer the question, Curiosity has been drilling into rocks and chemically analysing the samples.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory project scientist Ashwin Vasavada said its work had been suspended due to a suspected problem with the instrument’s motor.

The problem first appeared about a week ago and project

engineers thought they had resolved it, but the problems cropped back up, Vasavada said at a conference in San Francisco.

The problem comes as scientists are beginning to gather a glimpse of the history of Mars replete with life-friendly, water-rich environments and intriguing chemistry, including the first detection of the element boron.

Scientists believe boron may have led to the formation of the sugar ribose and ribonucleic acid, or RNA, which is present in all living cells on earth.

This photo released by NASA shows a self-portrait taken by the NASA rover Curiosity in Gale Crater on Mars.

Scientists have learned that the crater was filled with water several times The concentrations of boron in its history. Curiosity is currently in an area known are increasing as Curiosity ascends Mount Sharp, a 5km as the Murray Formation, located about 200 metres mound of sediment rising from the floor of Gale Crater, above where the rover landed.

The span represents tens where the rover made a

“It turns out that this Murray Formation is really sort of a bonanza of all the things we intended to study when we picked the landing site,” Grotzinger said.

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.

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 21stcentury jobs.

JULIA ROBERTS STARRING IN FIRST TV SERIES J

ulia Roberts has signed on to star in her first-ever TV series.

The Oscar-winning a-lister will star in a limited series based on Maria Semple’s New York Times best seller novel, Today Will Be

Different.

Semple will also pen the script for the TV adaptation of her own book.

Roberts will play the lead role of Eleanor Flood, a character who is admittedly a bit of a mess but decides

to tackle the little things she has been neglecting.

Of course, life gets in the way of success as a fake-sick son, errant husband, and a former colleague with bombdropping memoir derail her modest plan.

Aside from starring, Roberts will also executive produce the series by way of her Red Om Films banner, along with executive producers Semple, Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle.

“I’m giddy that Eleanor Flood will be brought to life by Julia Roberts and am elated to collaborate with

Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and the team at Annapurna on this endeavour. This will be a fun ride!” Semple said in a statement.

Roberts is the latest movie star to jump over to television with actress Meryl Streep starring in the series, The Nix and Julianne Moore and Robert DeNiro starring in a pricey Amazon series.

The limited series marks the first regular TV role for Roberts, who is most known for her iconic roles in Pretty Woman, Erin Brokovich and most recently, a small yet lucrative role in Mother’s Day.

ROGUE ONE’ TAKING IN BIG OPENING WEEKEND

R

ogue One: A Star Wars Story is dominating the domestic US box office with a huge $US140 million ($A191 million) opening weekend coming into view, early estimates showed on Friday.

The film also took in $US33 million ($A45 million) in its first two days in international markets and should wind up the weekend with $US150 million ($A205 million) from foreign territories when it opens in nearly every major moviegoing market except China and South Korea.

Rogue One will put up the second-largest December domestic opening in history, behind last year’s $US248 million ($A339 million)

debut of Star Wars: Episode VII -- The Force Awakens on the same weekend.

Should it hit $140 million in North America this weekend, Rogue One will wind up 17th on the list of the North American launches of all time.

Rogue One is the eighth film in the Star Wars franchise but the first to step outside the narrative of the other seven films.

It follows a group of rebel spies trying to steal the schematics for the Empire’s Death Star.

Meanwhile, Will Smith’s drama “Collateral Beauty” is showing little traction, with early estimates of a weekend at under $US8 million ($A11 million).

This image released by Lucasfilm Ltd. shows Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso in a scene from, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”

HOLLYWOOD LEGEND

ZSA ZSA GABOR DIES AT 99

U

S actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, whose 60-year career of playing herself helped paved the way for today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, has died. She was 99.

Edward Lozzi, who was a longtime publicist for Gabor, said the Hungarian-born actress passed away at her Los Angeles home after years of decline and illness.

Her husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, said she died of a heart attack.

“Everything was fine, then suddenly her hands went cold,” he said.

“We tried everything, but her heart just stopped and that was it.”

Gabor, by most accounts, had a personality that generally outshone her acting skills. Her bubbly demeanour and looks helped land her a string of wealthy husbands. She had a penchant for calling everyone “dah-ling” in her thick Hungarian accent.

Along with her two sisters, Eva and Magda, she became a fixture on Hollywood’s social circuit in her prime.

She was once branded “the most expensive

courtesan since Madame de Pompadour,” but Gabor insisted that only her marriage to husband No.2, hotel mogul Conrad Hilton, was financially motivated.

In fact, marriage could have been the Gabor family business and Zsa Zsa, the company’s CEO. Her nine marriages topped the five

by Eva, who starred in the 1960s sitcom Green Acres, and the six of Magda, whose Hollywood career was mostly based on being the third Gabor sister.

While her acting skills were rarely lauded, Gabor carved out a career in her early days in Hollywood. Her finest film roles came with Moulin Rouge, where she earned good reviews, in 1952 and Lili in 1953.

She appeared in more than 30 movies and by the 1970s she began to reject smaller roles, saying: “I may be a character but I do not want to be a character actress.”

Gabor eventually ended up in low-budget films with such titles as Queen of Outer Space and Picture Mommy Dead.

Greater success came with TV appearances where

she disclosed she called everyone “dah-ling” because she could not remember names well, and she relied on self-parodying jokes based on her marriages, haughty demeanour and taste for opulence.

“I am a marvellous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house,” she was quoted as saying.

In the final episode of the 1960s television series Batman, Gabor played the guest villainess, Minerva, who used hair dryers to steal information from men’s brains.

Gabor, one of the last stars of Hollywood’s golden age, was not seen in public in her final years as she struggled with her health, including broken bones and cuts from a car accident.

She also suffered a stroke and a broken hip, enduring complications from hip replacement surgery. She had much of her right leg amputated in 2011 because of an infection.

Gabor’s most recent stint at the hospital came just days after her 99th birthday last February for breathing difficulties.

Born Sari Gabor into a wealthy family, she was named Miss Hungary in the 1930s. When World War II approached, Zsa Zsa and her sisters headed for the United States, leaving behind her first husband, Burhan Belge, a Turkish diplomat.

Soon after arriving in Hollywood, where Eva was working as an actress, Gabor married Hilton, with whom she had a daughter, Francesca, who died in January 2015.

In 1949, after divorcing

Hilton, Gabor married British actor George Sanders, whom she later was to call her one true love. Sanders would end up married to Magda. Eva Gabor died in 1995 and Magda in 1997.

In addition to Belge, Hilton and Sanders, Zsa Zsa Gabor was married to New York businessman Herbert Hutner, oilman Joshua Cosden, Barbie doll designer Jack Ryan, her divorce lawyer Michael O’Hara, Count Felipe de Alba of Mexico and Frederic Prinz von Anhalt.

The marriage to de Alba was annulled because her divorce from O’Hara was not final at the time of the wedding. The 1986 marriage to von Anhalt, which lasted until her death, was by far her longest.

Throughout her Hollywood heyday, Gabor listed her birthday only as February 6, steadfastly refusing to reveal the year. A former spokesman, John Blanchette, said she was born in 1917.

In 1989, Gabor’s temper landed her in jail for three days after she slapped a policeman who had stopped her Rolls-Royce because of an expired licence tag.

She emerged from jail complaining about the food.

“Zsa Zsa did not suffer fools well,” said Lozzi, who represented her during that period. “Her beautiful lips and mouth would also be her worst enemy when and if she turned on the verbal machine gun.”

She sued Francesca in 2005, saying her daughter had taken out a loan against Gabor’s Bel Air, California, home and used the transaction to steal $US2 million ($A2.7 million).

This January on Friday 13th at Rosebud Hotel fans can see the next best thing in Dave Growl’s Faux Fighters.

CAPRICORN Things aren’t going exactly how you want it in love but that is inherent to your stubborn ways. Just lean back and trust on your positivism to decide the right course. A financial issue sticks and that’s kind of good as well because as soon as you push your own will through you will start a small war. That doesn’t solve anything.

AQUARIUS Luck is heading your way so if you adjust the circumstances you will soon find your optimistic views again. Let worries slide off of your shoulders and enjoy love. Are you thinking about all the things that have gone wrong this year? Setbacks are a part of life and it’s up to you to decide how you deal with that. It’s useless to sulk around on the couch.

PISCES There are some interesting trips on the menu and some pleasant encounters with a romantic touch. Give into intimacy without worrying or limitations and let yourself go completely. You are very thoughtful towards others but keep a close eye on who deserves this. You should avoid someone who is trying to take advantage of you.

LEO Your love life will get a new impulse and you’ll be more sexually active than usual. You are struggling with the difference between lust and love though. You have an idea in your mind and nothing or nobody can get it out of there. Consult someone who knows about things to prevent that you skip any important details.

SAGITTARIUS Of course your partner adores you but because of that you might start to believe in your own popularity and act accordingly. Not everyone will like that. Mind your words. You are very spontaneous and let words flow freely and with that you should ask for that raise but you could also chase people up the curtains.

CANCER It’s going to be a week filled with ups and downs. It’s going to be quite exhausting. On top of that emotions could rise so high that you will need a handkerchief.

You are looking for structure in a love relationship. Think about the possibilities to earn something extra abroad because your financial intuition is pretty sharp at the moment.

SCORPIO You can fight that inner restlessness by giving into a long cherished wish and fulfilling it. You will meet someone, and it could be an old lover, who reminds you of a past romance. Chores that shouldn’t be postponed are waiting for you at home. The temptation to shop is very big at the moment.

GEMINI Your bubbling existence will come to a hold for a while. If it were up to you, you’d lock yourself up in the bedroom and you would finish that book that has been on the nightstand for ages. Love is a bit slower at the moment. Consider a weekend break to a nice city to have a look at the latest fashion.

LIBRA You are impatient in love but don’t head into the danger zone by making some unexpected moves. That’s fun for you but how does your partner feel about it? You feel as if you are in a bodice from which you want to break free. Come up with a strategy for the best way to do this without frustrating others.

TAURUS Invite yourself to a personal investigation. Why are things going they way they are? Think about this quietly and take your time for it. You also have questions that still need an answer in the area of sexuality. If you can’t figure it out yourself you should ask an expert for advice.

VIRGO You can’t agree with everyone all the time but this week it seems as if you don’t succeed to agree with anyone. Don’t just try to find the cause with others but see if you have a part in this all as well.

Meet Queenie

I don’t have a taste for gold and riches, instead I enjoy the simpler life.

A few cuddles, some nice walks, and a loving home. That’s all I really want!

I can be a little quiet and shy around new people and in new situations.

I’m looking for a new home that will be ok with this, and help me navigate the world at my own pace. I’m looking forward to some socialisation and training, and can’t wait to learn lots of new things with you!

PUTIN’S BARKING DOG TAKES CENTRE STAGE

A

head of his visit to Japan later this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin brought his dog Yume into an interview with Japanese journalists, and the large Akita breed made sure she as well as her master were well heard.

Putin gave an interview to Nippon Television and Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper in Moscow on Tuesday, accompanied at first by Yume, who was given to him by Japan’s Akita Prefecture in 2012.

Yume, who was not on a leash, entered the room quietly but she soon began barking loudly at the media crew, who stood still and smiled at the dog.

“We are glad to see Yume happy and cheerful. However, we were a bit surprised and afraid that the beginning of the meeting would be like this,” one of the journalists said, according to a Kremlin transcript of the interview.

Putin said Yume was protective of him. “You were right to take caution, Yume is a no-nonsense dog,” he said.

“There are many people here, with camcorders running, lights shining and cameras clicking. She is being a guard dog.”

A decade ago, with cameras running, Putin allowed his big black labrador Koni to bound into a room where he was receiving German Chancellor Angela Merkel at his Black Sea Putin eventually drew the residence, ignoring warnings Akita’s attention with treats before showing some tricks she from protocol that she has a fear of dogs. can do.

BIG AUTO 57

Fit for a champion: The BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition confirmed for Australia German racing driver Marco Wittman has enjoyed a special relationship with BMW Motorsport since his debut in the 2013 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, better known as the DTM. Piloting the BMW M4 DTM in its 2014 debut season, Wittman was able to seal the DTM driver’s championship for BMW Team RMG. The combination took four round victories out of ten, beating some of the toughest tin-top competition in the world in the process.

Remaining with BMW Team RMG and his faithful BMW M4 DTM over the last two seasons, Wittman was able to secure a second DTM driver’s championship in 2016, adding a further three race victories to his

illustrious career.

To commemorate this victory, BMW M has announced an exclusive road-going version of the racer: the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition.

Limited to a global run of only 200, BMW Group Australia is proud to confirm a 10-unit allocation.

“Securing five per cent of the M4 DTM Champion Edition’s global allocation is an honour for BMW in this country,” said BMW Group Australia CEO Marc Werner.

“It once again proves the popularity of M Division product ‘Down Under’.

“On the back of the sold-out M4 GTS, the M4 DTM Champion Edition offers similar racetrackinspired performance with further exclusivity, and is a fitting

tribute to Marco’s achievements.”

Developed under the bonnet of the 2015 BMW M4 MotoGP Safety Car, BMW M’s unique water injection system made its production debut on the M4 GTS. Now the M4 DTM Champion Edition’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six uses this system, which sprays a water mist to lower inlet temperatures.

This enables increased turbo boost pressure and more aggressive ignition timing, which in turn realises exceptional gains in power and torque.

Peak power and torque are rated at 368kW and 600Nm respectively, representing 51kW and 50Nm increases over the regular M4 variant.

Offered exclusively with the seven-speed M Double Clutch

Transmission and driving the rear wheels in the best motorsport tradition, the M4 DTM Champion Edition will hit 100km/h from a standstill in only 3.8 seconds, before heading to a limited top speed of 305km/h where conditions allow.

Fuel consumption is listed at 8.5L/100km on the combined cycle, with 199g/km CO2.

In addition to the track-focused mechanical specification, the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition remains equipped for everyday use. BMW’s Professional Navigation System with iDrive functionality is standard and the vehicle is also equipped with air conditioning, front and rear park distance control and auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors.

RLPA defend McKinnon’s right to sue NRL

T

he players’ union has defended Alex McKinnon’s right to sue over the tackle which left him paralysed and called on the NRL to provide greater cover for players who suffer catastrophic injuries.

McKinnon is preparing to launch legal proceedings against the NRL and Melbourne forward Jordan McLean over the 2014 tackle which left him wheelchair bound.

An NRL spokesman said while no claim had been received, McKinnon’s lawyers had notified them of their intentions.

The 24-year-old former Newcastle second-rower’s career ended after a threeman tackle involving McLean,

who was suspended for seven weeks, and Jesse and Kenny Bromwich.

Rugby League Players Association chief executive Ian Prendergast said McKinnon’s injury had been life-altering and people should consider his position before judging him.

“We all need to respect the situation Alex is in, no one can understand what he’s going through,” he said.

“He’s got independent legal representation, he’s entitled to pursue his legal rights and it’s important to let that play out without pre-judging the outcome.”

Prendergast said the players’ union had also reached out to McLean and offered him their support.

Following his retirement, McKinnon received the maximum $500,000 compensation payout from the NRL and around $1.2 million through fundraising efforts including the Rise for Alex round.

He was also paid out the final two years of his contract, estimated to be around $500,000, from the Knights.

He was also guaranteed a job for life by the NRL and works with the club in recruitment and development.

However he estimated it will cost him $20 million to lead a normal existence for the rest of his life and has spoken about his fears of being unable to support himself.

“I had no idea how much this injury was going to cost,”

Surfing rookie wins big at Pipeline A

rookie blossomed and a veteran’s world tour career ended on a mixed day for Australian surfers at Hawaii’s Pipe Masters.

With only two days left in the event window, organisers churned through 23 heats on Sunday (Monday AEDT) in the second and third rounds.

Newcastle rookie Ryan Callinan pulled off the day’s biggest upset at Banzai Pipeline, eliminating Brazilian world No.2 Gabriel Medina in the third round.

Medina only needed a 6.75 late in their heat to win, but Callinan held on to reach the fourth heat of a world tour event for the first time.

Callinan also beat Brazilian rookie of the year Caio Ibelli in the second round.

“I guess this is a good end to the year already,” Callinan said.

“Round three has kind of got me this year and the two guys I beat today have kind of got me in most of the events, so it is good to get a bit of payback in.”

Despite his big day, Callinan will have to requalify next year for the world tour.

Compatriot Kai Otton said after he lost to American Kolohe Andino in round three that he would not go through requalifying next year, ending his decade on the world tour.

“It’s kind of a forced retirement I guess,” Otton said.

“I would have gone again next year if all the boys were there, but I’m not going to chase the QS so it’s probably my last event.

It’s been a dream - I didn’t qualify until I was 27 and 10 years later it’s been great fun.”

Former world champion Joel Parkinson and Josh Kerr were the other Australians to win through to round four.

After starting the year with three wins from four rounds, Matt Wilkinson lost his round-three heat to Frenchman Jeremy Flores.

Despite dropping out of the title race, Wilkinson said the season had given him confidence that he can be a contender.

“I feel like I’ve had a lot of missed opportunities in the back half of this year and I could have been fighting for a title,” Wilkinson said.

“I obviously would have wanted to do better here, but I am stoked going into the off-season.”

Julian Wilson, the 2014 Pipe Master, also fell to American Kanoa Igarashi in the third round.

Eleven-time world champion Kelly Slater ended the day with a tight win over fellow American Conner Coffin, beating him by just .07.

Newly-crowned world champion John John Florence, a North Shore local, also remains in contention for his first Pipeline Masters title.

RIOLI SIGNS NEW AFL DEAL WITH HAWKS

C

yril Rioli's contract extension should ensure he's a one-club player, except Hawthorn have shown that's now a tenuous AFL concept.

The Hawks announced on Friday the 27-year-old dynamo had re-signed until the end of 2020.

Hawthorn stunned the AFL during the trade period two months ago when they orchestrated Sam Mitchell's move to Hawthorn and Jordan Lewis' transfer to Melbourne.

Only days earlier, Mitchell had won the club's best and fairest award, Lewis was second and Rioli was fifth in the voting.

Rioli told the club website the decision to re-sign was easy.

"I'm very happy where I am, and couldn't see myself being anywhere else," Rioli

said.

"There was no hesitation after being offered the extension ... it was a nobrainer for me and I said yes immediately."

One of the league's most exciting players made his AFL debut with Hawthorn in 2008 - the season that ended with their upset grand final win over Geelong.

He's now a four-time premiership player and won the Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the 2015 grand final.

The Hawks star joined famous uncles Maurice Rioli and Michael Long in winning the medal.

Rioli has overcome persistent hamstring injuries to play 178 games.

He had 21 games this season and kicked 47 goals, earning his third AllAustralian selection.

MESSI

inspires Barca to thumping derby win L

ionel Messi has produced a vintage secondhalf performance to help Barcelona to a 4-1 win over local rivals Espanyol which allowed the champions to cut the gap with La Liga leaders Real Madrid to three points.

Luis Suarez celebrated signing a new contract with Barca on Friday by firing the home side ahead in the 18th minute with the help of a brilliant pass from Andres Iniesta and the Uruguayan struck again in the 67th after a mazy run from Messi.

The Argentine maestro cut the Espanyol defence to ribbons again to allow Jordi Alba to score the third in the 68th before capping the victory with a goal of his own in the 89th, after David Lopez had pulled one back for the visiting side.

Barca are second in the standings on 34 points, three behind Real Madrid who have played a game less due to their participation in the Club World Cup final, while Sevilla are third on 33.

Espanyol have not beaten Barcelona since 2009 although they went into the game on the back of a ninegame unbeaten run in the league, conceding only once in their last six.

Their positive form counted for little though against a Barca side who have

rediscovered their groove following a slump in form in November.

The home side made their intentions clear when Suarez burst through the middle and worked the ball to Neymar, only for Messi to send the final pass whistling past the near post.

The opener came from a lightning-quick break which began with a sliding tackle from Javier Mascherano on compatriot Pablo Piatti and Iniesta produced a sumptuous diagonal long ball for Suarez to knock into the far corner with one touch.

In the second half, Messi seized a loose ball and skipped past five Espanyol defenders before firing at goal, his shot spilled by substitute goalkeeper Roberto and Suarez gobbling up the rebound to score again.

Messi produced another breathtaking run into the box a minute later, worming his way through four defenders and laying the ball off for Alba to ram past Roberto.

Lopez briefly silenced a jubilant Nou Camp with a well worked counter but Messi got the festivities started again with a fully deserved goal of his own, latching on to a generous chipped pass by Suarez to tap in the fourth.

Also on Sunday Leganes drew 1-1 with Eibar and Deportivo beat Osasuna 2-0.

AUSTRALIAN SPORT STORIES OF THE YEAR << cont. from back page...

Sydney Wanderers 3-1 in the grand final - the Sydney club’s third loss in four years in the decider - and Adelaide fell in love with mastermind coach, Spanish great Guillermo Amor.

SCRATCHY SOCCEROOS The Socceroos opened their World Cup qualifying campaign with three consecutive wins and fans started booking tickets for the sport’s showcase in Russia in 2018. But they may be seeking refunds after Ange Postecoglou’s side couldn’t bank a win from their next three qualifiers - though five more games remain next year to seal a spot.

WILLIAMS’ CUP, AGAIN Lloyd Williams won a record fifth Melbourne Cup as an owner when import Almandin outlasted Irish raider Heartbreak City to take out Australia’s favourite horse

World Twenty20 competition, but the nation’s women remain No.1 in the world.

BOMBERS AWAY Essendon’s captain Jobe Watson gave up his 2012 Brownlow medal before the AFL could strip it off him, after being among 34 players banned over the club’s supplements scandal.

Watson and a batch of the banned will return next year but the Brownlow has been retrospectively awarded to Richmond’s Trent Cotchin and Hawk-turned-Eagle Sam Mitchell.

ADELAIDE’S AMOR Adelaide United were winless after eight A-League rounds, yet recovered spectacularly to claim the club’s first championship in the 2015-16 season. The Reds defeated Western

race. Jockey Kerrin McEvoy’s triumph also broke the record for the longest gap between cup winners - 16 years.

NICK THE TANK ENGINE Tennis brat Nick Kyrgios ends the year with a careerhigh ranking of 13. But the Australian’s year will be remembered for a shocking tank which resulted in a three-week ban which again has pundits questioning his commitment.

WAVES OF SUCCESS Six years after being anointed the next big thing in women’s surfing, Australian Tyler Wright won the world championship at the age of 22.

NETBALL NERVES The Australian Diamonds retained their world topranking, and also the Constellation Cup. But the real drama came in the trans-Tasman competition

grand final. The Queensland Firebirds became the first club to claim consecutive titles in a nerve-jangling grand final - it took them until double extra-time to shake off the NSW Swifts.

AUSTRALIAN SPORT STORIES OF THE YEAR

F

airytales. Flops.

Fiascos. Fulfilment - Australia’s sporting year had the lot.

Here’s some of the year’s biggest sport stories.

SHARKS FINALLY BITE Cronulla ended 49 years of misery and missed opportunities to claim the NRL premiership. The Sharks captured their firstever title with a pulsating 14-12 grand final triumph against Melbourne Storm in a sweet victory for coach Shane Flanagan, suspended by the NRL for 12 months during

the peptides drama two years ago.

BULLDOGS FINALLY BARK The Western Bulldogs won the AFL premiership and a flood of joyous tears ended the club’s 62-year drought.

The blue-collar battlers downed Sydney by 22 points in a gripping grand final.

Coach Luke Beveridge’s team became the first club to take the flag from seventh spot.

OLYMPIC SLIDE Australia’s Olympic team went to Rio targeting a topfive seat on the medal table.

But favourites flopped as the nation returned its lowest medal haul since 1992 - 29 medals, only eight of them gold. Australia’s Games were tarred by nine athletes being arrested for tampering with their accreditation, three of the team being mugged, and their athletes’ village accommodation catching fire.

KING OF THE POOL While most of his Olympic teammates fizzled, unheralded swimmer Kyle Chalmers sizzled. The 18-year-old won the blue riband 100m freestyle

final - not bad for a kid who admitted merely hoping to make the final, and to not knowing most of rivals as he doesn’t really follow the sport that closely.

CRICKETERS CRASH Australia’s Test cricketers were top of the world in August. Just three months later, they were third and the team was shredded in the biggest selection carveup in a generation after five consecutive losses. The Australians also didn’t make it out of the group stage in the
