Independents say no deal with Libs or ALP T

wo of the crossbenchers likely to decide who governs Australia for the next three years won't commit to supporting either side before parliament returns.

At this stage, neither the coalition nor Labor has a sufficient number of lower house seats to form majority government after Saturday's general election.

Tasmanian independent Andrew Wilkie plans to hear out a confidence motion debate on the first day parliament sits in August before deciding whether to support the coalition or Labor.

"I would make a decision at the time and if circumstances don't change beyond that I would be consistent," he told ABC radio on Monday, saying he'd also look at which party won the most votes and seats along with who was most fit to govern.

After that, he'd consider every bill and motion in parliament on its merits.

But the MP warned the prime minister and the coalition would have to "rewrite their budget" and revise many policy positions.

"I don't think Malcolm Turnbull now has a mandate to implement what he took to the election," Mr Wilkie said.

Indi MP Cathy McGowan says she'll apply her personal moral

compass along with a sense of what is best for her northern Victoria electorate and the nation in deciding how to vote.

"The problem with making a deal at the beginning ... is that you take away your ability to actually make a decision on the legislation at the time depending on the circumstances," she told ABC radio.

In terms of supporting a government, she wants to wait for the vote count to near completion.

Ms McGowan would also like to see how the coalition and Labor intend to work together, saying she doesn't want to see "that divide-and-conquer stuff" of the past few parliaments.

Mr Turnbull and Labor leader Bill Shorten contacted crossbenchers on Sunday as a hung parliament became a live possibility.

But neither has spoken to Pauline Hanson, who is expected to win a seat in the Senate.

She suspects the prime minister "has lost my number" and just laughed when asked on the Seven Network if she'd heard from Mr Shorten.

"At this point I am totally independent, maybe not like everybody else," the One Nation leader said.

Truck stuck under Melbourne I bridge - again

t took just twenty-six days after gantries were installed at Melbourne’s notorious Montague Street Bridge for a truck to get stuck underneath.

Twitter user @samcos73 took a photo of a truck stuck under the bridge about 10.45am on Wednesday.

The gantries were installed in early June to warn trucks and buses of the low bridge height after more than 100 incidents since 2011, with the worst incident involving a tourist coach that lost part of its roof in February, injuring 11 people.

Labor defends Medicare text message L

Mini-bikes speeding before fatal Vic crash A

Melbourne court has heard a group of mini-motorbikes was speeding outside a shopping centre before a mother was hit at a pedestrian crossing and died from brain injuries.

Nineteen-year-old Caleb Jakobsson is charged with culpable driving causing the death of Andrea Lehane, a 34-year-old nurse, whose life support was switched off after the accident last September.

Witness Glenn Edgerton told a committal hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court the group was going quite fast for the area.

to indicate that it was a message from Medicare, rather to identify the subject of the text," the spokesman said in a statement.

He also disputed the idea that voters would have been deceived by the text, given the prominent role Medicare had played in Labor's campaign.

"The message was consistent with Labor's message throughout the campaign.

There should be no surprise that this was not a government message."

Labor has come under fire over the text message, which appeared to identify the public health insurer as its sender.

"Mr Turnbull's plans to privatise Medicare will take us down the road of no return," the text read.

"Time is running out to save Medicare."

The Australian Federal Police is looking into a complaint about the message but a Labor source said the party had not been contacted by investigators.

Man 'didn't intend to kill wife' with bat A

man who hit his wife on the head with a baseball bat while she slept did not intend to kill her, a Brisbane trial has heard.

Defence lawyer Carl Heaton told the jury in closing submissions on Monday that Cobb's attempt to stem the bleeding with a pillow, calling triple-zero and never shying away from what he did indicated he did not want his wife to die.

Stephen John Asling, 55, is charged over the death of the 62-yearold, who was ambushed and shot dead outside his house in Kew in December 2003.

Attempts by the defence to suppress details of the case were unsuccessful as the first day of the hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court got underway on Monday.

Turnbull ducks leadership questions M

He was dressed casually, in an anorak and jumper.

Aust man facing US child porn allegations A

ustralian rugby player and accused attempted child sex trafficker Michael Quinn's US legal troubles appear set to get worse after the alleged discovery of "suspected child pornography" on his iPhone.

A prosecutor has told a US District Court judge in Los Angeles the 33-year-old from Melbourne could be hit with new charges.

Forensic exams on the phone and his iPad, seized after he was arrested at an undercover child sex sting in a Los Angeles beachside hotel room last month, are yet to be completed.

"The discovery of child pornography could lead to additional charges against the defendant," assistant US attorney Joey Blanch wrote in a court filing this week.

Quinn was already facing the prospect of life in jail without the possibility of parole after he allegedly paid an undercover US agent, who was posing as a pimp, $US260 to have sex with a six-year-old boy at the hotel.

Quinn allegedly arrived at the hotel with a camera, film and a monopod to support the camera.

Ms Blanch also revealed Quinn has been offered a plea deal, although a spokesman for the prosecutor declined to tell AAP the details.

"A plea offer has been extended by the government, but defendant needs additional time to review the offer with his counsel," Ms Blanch wrote in the filing.

Quinn has entered not guilty pleas to one count of attempted child sex trafficking and one count of travelling with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.

A trial is scheduled in Los Angeles on August 30.

The attempted child sex trafficking charge carries a minimum sentence of 15 years' in US federal prison and a maximum of life without parole.

Ms Blanch also told the court prosecutors have screen captures of communication between Quinn and undercover law enforcement from a social networking site.

The prosecution case also includes alleged audio-video recordings of Quinn at the LA hotel.

Quinn has been held at a downtown LA jail since his arrest.

The Monash University-educated geneticist, who worked at a leading Melbourne IVF clinic, was a member of the Melbourne Chargers rugby club.

He was in the US to play in the Bingham Cup in Nashville, Tennessee, a tournament honouring September 11 hero and pioneer of gay rugby clubs, Mark Bingham.

Drug bust in Vic nets 275kg of meth M

ore than a quarter-tonne of methamphetamine has been found hidden under the floorboards of three Victorian shipping containers.

Police say they started investigating a Melbourne drug importation syndicate in February, linking shipping consignments to the group.

One Malaysian and seven Australians have been charged with drug offences after a 275kg seizure of the drug, the AFP said on Monday.

A search of three shipping containers found about 275kg of crystal methamphetamine, it will be alleged.

Police say the drugs have a street value of about $275 million.

As part of a controlled operation, the drugs were then delivered last week to an industrial estate in Bayswater, the AFP said.

The bust was a result of an investigation by the Victoria Joint Organised Crime Task Force, involving both state and federal police.

People allegedly accessing the containers led to raids on properties in South Yarra, Braybrook, Bayswater, Brunswick, Box Hill and Glen Waverley.

Mars dunes hint at atmosphere thinning

R

ipples found on the sand dunes of Mars, often much larger than those found on similar dunes on Earth, suggest the red planet's atmosphere is thinner than it once was, NASA says.

The Curiosity rover, which has been on Mars for almost four years, explored the Bagnold Dunes on the northwestern flank of Mars' Mount Sharp six

months ago, making the first study of active sand dunes off Earth.

NASA scientists studying Curiosity's data found that ripples on Martian dunes were in many cases much larger than those on Earth likely due to the red planet's thinner atmosphere.

The rover also found smaller

That evidence suggested Mars once had a thicker atmosphere that had since been lost.

DPP loses appeal over Vic ice killer A

man who was high on ice when he murdered a Melbourne jewellery store owner will not have his 27-year prison term increased after the DPP lost its appeal.

Gavin Perry was on parole in July 2013 when he stabbed and killed Dermot O'Toole during an armed robbery at his Hastings jewellery shop, the Jewel Shed.

The DPP's appeal for a longer term of imprisonment was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on Friday because the sentence was already higher than any sentence previously imposed for statutory murder.

Their co-accused Omar Bchinnati, 29, did not appear in court but was remanded in custody to appear at a committal mention hearing alongside the others, who are on bail, on September 23.

WA man faces Bali court over ‘fake’ visa A

n Australian man wanted in Perth on drug charges has faced a Bali court for allegedly claiming to be two different men in forged and stolen travel documents.

Shaun Edward Davidson, 30, was quiet and wore a white collared shirt when he arrived in Denpasar District Court on Monday, more than two months after he was arrested by immigration officials and taken into custody.

Prosecutor Ika Lusiana said officers first spoke to Dobson in February 29 while he was staying at Rabasta Beach Resort in Kuta.

The Western Australian allegedly claimed he was “Michael John Bayman” and presented a passport that showed a man who looked different to Dobson.

When immigration officials returned to his hotel the following day, they found that his visa - known as a KITAS - showed his photograph but was under the name “Eddie Lonsdale”.

The following month immigration officials allegedly discovered the serial number on the KITAS matched that of

a man “Franklin Steven”.

Ms Lusiana told the court that upon being questioned Davidson had conceded the passport was not his, adding that he had found it in a hotel six months before.

He also allegedly confessed to paying a local forger 1.5 million rupiah ($A150) to create the false visa.

Davidson, who has been charged with using a fake or forged visa and using someone else’s immigration documents, could face up to seven years if convicted.

Davidson is believed to have travelled to Indonesia on January 28 last year - the same day he was due to appear at the Perth Magistrates Court on a number of drug offences, including possessing a prohibited drug with the intention to sell or supply.

An arrest warrant was issued on the same day.

He is currently being held in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan Prison.

His matter will return to court in July.

Asian fires emitted most carbon since 1997

"884 million tonnes of carbon dioxide was emitted in the region last year"

In this Sept. 12, 2015 file photo, a fireman works to contain a wildfire on a field in Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra, Indonesia. A dry and blistering hot northern Alberta was burning and doing so unusually early in the year, but that was only the latest of many gargantuan fires on an Earth that’s grown hotter with more extreme weather.

F

orest fires that blanketed Southeast Asia in thick haze last year released the greatest amount of climate-changing carbon since record blazes in 1997, producing emissions higher than in the whole of the European Union, scientists say.

The study by scientists from the Netherlands, Britain and Indonesia, published in the online journal Scientific Reports recently, was the first scientific report calculating greenhouse gas emissions from the fires using Singapore, Malaysia and northern Indonesia measurements on the ground combined with satellite observations. choked under a layer of toxic smog in September and October last year, caused "There have been some isolated studies by thousands of fires started in Indonesia to before where people artificially set fires in cheaply clear land for palm oil crops and for the lab to try to understand the chemical pulp and paper plantations. characteristics of peatland fire smoke in Indonesia," said Martin Wooster, one of The fires and resulting haze, an annual the scientists and a professor of earth occurrence, pushed up pollution levels, observation science at King's College caused schools to close, flights to be disrupted and people to fall sick across the London. region.

Last year's blazes were the worst for years with El Nino, a warming of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific, causing tinderdry conditions.

"But no one had done this on natural fires, and especially not on the kind of extreme fires seen in 2015," he added.

The researchers first measured the ground-level smoke composition from

peatland burning in the region, including in Indonesia's Central Kalimantan province, one of the worst-hit areas.

They combined the data with satellite information to work out greenhouse gas emission estimates from the fires.

They concluded that 884 million tonnes of carbon dioxide was emitted in the region last year, with 97 per cent originating from forest fires in Indonesia.

The results showed that regional carbon dioxide emissions from the fires were 11.3 million tonnes per day in September and October 2015, more than the 28-nation EU's daily emissions of 8.9 million tonnes during the same period.

The researchers also said the emissions were worse than during the 1997 fires, considered the worst on record.

She said she was also seen by another man at the clinic - who she knew as a professor named Bruce - but he didn't seem to know what he was doing when Di Paolo wasn't there.

"Bruce was really confused and he didn't know what to do," she said.

"I had to tell him how to use the ultrasound machine at one stage, because he couldn't work it out."

Between 2006 to 2015, Di Paolo is alleged to have duped patients out of more than $342,000 by offering fertility treatment under the guise of being a medical practitioner.

His charges relate to the mainly adult women he treated at his Brighton and St Kilda Rd clinics.

n 2008 BMW Group Design unveiled the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model: a concept car with a seamless, flexible, fabric outer shell stretched over a movable substructure, whose functions were only enabled when actually needed.

Since a new Now GINA has acted as the inspirational material not only allows new shapes but force behind a creative collaboration between Designworks and Puma.

breathable and sufficiently durable to meet the needs of a shoe that wraps around the foot in a single piece. Uniting beauty and performance, they created a light shoe with a very simple design gesture. Automotive design thinking is immediately evident in the proportions that make the material shine – and in the simplicity that prevents it from competing with too many other design features. Fine, laser-cut perforations flow across the front of the X-CAT, underlining the impression of motion while adding ventilation.

Another design cue taken from the original GINA concept is the functional aesthetic of revealing the underlying structure when tightening the shoe. The designers also re- thought the concept for the sole and the Puma DISC, applying BMW engineering approaches to add greater precision. They viewed the sole as the engine of the foot, the driver of movement. This produced a unique design which was inspired by interconnecting gears and integrates both engineered flexibility and interlinked stability.

"It almost seems as if Jupiter is throwing a firework party for the imminent arrival of Juno."

To highlight changes in the auroras, which cover areas bigger than the Earth, Hubble is observing Jupiter daily for around a month.

US PROBES TESLA AFTER FATAL 'AUTO' CRASH

A

U S national traffic safety body is opening a preliminary investigation into 25,000 Tesla Motors Model S cars after a driver of one of the vehicles was killed using the autopilot mode.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the crash came in a 2015 Model S operating with automated driving systems engaged, and "calls for an examination of the design and performance of any driving aids in use at the time of the crash".

The investigation is the first step before

the agency could seek to order a recall if it finds the vehicles were unsafe.

NHTSA said in a statement the driver of the 2015 Model S was killed while operating in Autopilot mode in a crash on May 7 in Williston, Florida. It said preliminary reports indicate the vehicle crash occurred when a tractor-trailer made a left turn in front of the Tesla at an intersection.

The company said "the high ride height of the trailer combined with its positioning across the road and the extremely rare circumstances of the impact caused the Model S to pass under the trailer".

The bottom of the trailer hit the windshield of the Model S, killing the occupant.

Tesla said that "Autopilot is getting better all the time, but it is not perfect and still requires the driver to remain alert.

Tesla said in a blog post that this is the first known fatality in just over 130 million Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is miles where Autopilot was activated. unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver Tesla said "neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the compared to purely manual driving." brake was not applied".

Discovery sheds light on 'hobbit' demise

I

t may not yet be enough to convince a jury, but mounting evidence suggests ancestors of modern humans wiped out the world's only known population of hobbits.

A race of 104cm tall humans - known as "hobbits" - were using stone tools on the Indonesian island of Flores 50,000 years ago but then mysteriously vanished.

Scientists now believe modern Homo sapiens humans were using fire in the hobbits' cave at least 41,000 years ago.

The discovery of hearths in the Liang Bua cave indicates that hobbits and modern humans both occupied the site within 9000 years of each other.

Researchers are searching for more evidence that will remove any remaining alibi modern humans might have.

If the two species came together at the same place and time it could explain the hobbits' extinction.

An international team of scientists uncovered the remains of a previously unknown species of small-statured human, Homo floresiensis, in Liang Bua cave in 2003.

Known as "hobbits" after the characters invented by Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkein, the creatures were originally thought to have lived as recently as 12,000 years ago.

Later experts dated the bones at between 190,000 and 60,000 years old, while the

ormer Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has praised Britain's decision to leave the European Union, saying he hopes the United Kingdom can move forward alone.

"I was a huge fan when (the EU) started. I've lived all over Europe so I thought 'how great'," he said, according to British media outlets.

Your Horoscopes ARIES You love being in the heart of something creative. It stimulates you and feeds your excitement. Be prepared with your innovative ideas because this week will need a lot of them.

You are seeking personal independence in your relationship.

Prepare for action though because this will result to tension.

TAURUS It’s not wise to keep your partner from reaching his/ her full potential as an individual. Love could only be filled with romance and adventure if you let your partner feel more comfortable to be who he/she wants want to be.

GEMINI Beware of a lie or some mean gossips this week. The good things is that truth is on your turf so you know better than to be affected. As soon as you are above it, nothing will be wrong anymore. There will be opportunities to work together with someone you like which makes the project more enticing.

CANCER Being happy is a choice. Bear in mind that misery is not determined by the circumstances around it but the disposition that you have. If you can accept your partner’s weaknesses and let go of your expectations, you will have peace of mind and will learn to work through them.

LEO You are a person who values his/her freedom above all and being independent in love will surprise you. You long for security and don’t depend on coincidences. Be clear with how you want your relationship to work and see if you and your partner are on the same page.

VIRGO Listen to the faint voice inside of you, Virgo. It will stop you from going on a risky adventure. You are in the process of transition as you allow a new wave of creativity take over.

Guide it towards the direction of commercial opportunities so you can increase your profit. Your health is at its best.

LIBRA Disagreements with your partner can happen this week.

That’s because your expectations are too high, Libra. Nagging will only make things worst. If you keep an open-mind and listen, you will see where he/she is coming from and learn to adjust.

SCORPIO Cupid will be working overtime this week. If you are single, you could easily fall in love while those in a relationship can’t keep their hands off each other. A specific change is not happening fast enough for you. You are working hard but you seem to be invisible still. Patience is the key, Scorpio. Good things come to those who wait.

SAGITTARIUS You’re not the best person to get in the middle of the love problems of others because that could backfire on you like a boomerang. If planning to go for a vacation or having a big purchase, check that tempting offer thoroughly. Check if your bank account can afford it at the moment.

No regrets about Errol Flynn: centenarian L

egendary Hollywood star Olivia de Havilland, who celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday, has no regrets that nothing came of her crush on Tasmanian-born swashbuckler Errol Flynn.

sister and fellow actress Joan Fontaine, who died in 2013, she says she is still in good shape as tells the newspaper her doctor informed her that she was a "magnificent organism".

In a rare interview to mark her milestone event, she admits she was strongly attracted to Flynn when she rose to fame as a leading lady with him in films like 1935's Captain Blood and the 1938 epic The Adventures of Robin Hood.

The Gone With The Wind star, who has lived in France since 1953, puts her robust health down to the effectiveness of French medicine.

De Havilland, who played Robin Hood's love interest Maid Marian, told The Times: "I had a very big crush on Errol Flynn, I thought he was absolutely smashing."

However, she is now glad that she did not become romantically involved with the famous Lothario, adding, "Nothing came of it. I'm not going to regret that. It could have ruined my life."

De Havilland, who won Academy Awards in 1947 and 1950, is the oldest living Oscar-winner, is one of the last survivors from the classic era of Hollywood films.

"For every complaint known to man, and for the extra ones known only to the French, there is an armoury of medicines," she explains.

As for today's stars, she has huge praise for a number of actors including Daniel DayLewis, who she declares a "genius", and Mark Rylance.

Actresses she admires include Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep.

Despite rising to stardom over 80 years ago, de Havilland feels it is only now she is comfortable with her fame.

"I think overnight success when you are very young is extremely disorientating," she said.

"It may be that only now am I Having outlived her contemporaries, including her adjusting to it, overcoming it."

The Veronicas want to make health doco T

he Veronicas have a new way to deal with bodyshamers they want to educate them.

The petite singing sisters are tired of comments about their weight and have some pretty strong views on healthy eating.

Recently, they hit back at a Facebook troll who insisted they

"eat something" and he would pay for the food with a lengthy, healthy vegetarian, shopping list that included organic vegetables, quinoa and brown rice.

"It makes it so exhausting and hilarious when people try to have the conversation with us with the most ignorant statements, like a troll on Facebook on a photo, because it's something we've taken very personally in our personal life for over six or seven years now and it's been a passion" Lisa Origliasso told AAP. The twin sisters say they've actively researched information on how to be healthy and gotten

to the point where they think the recommended healthy food pyramid is not actually that healthy.

"Our food pyramid, the kind of diet that is constantly promoted, is completely warped," Jessica Origliasso said.

"It's not based around anything to do with healing your body."

The pyramid is a visual guide which shows the recommended proportions of different types of food - such as dairy, grains, meat and vegetables - that people should consume in any one day for good health, according to Australian Dietary Guidelines.

But the girls don't agree with its recommendations.

"That food pyramid is based off your body being in a constant state of inflammation," Lisa said.

The Veronicas, who were inspired by directors such as David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino to create

their latest music video for single, In My Blood, would also like to put their healthy eating message across through film.

"We would love to do a documentary," Lisa said.

"I think it would be nice to talk to our peers about it and create something that would educate people because we've really had to discover and research a lot for ourselves over the past few years on how to be healthy. And there's not one place where you can go to find that information."

The sisters say they've spent years researching healthy eating and nutrition and that's the message they would love to spread.

"It's not something that's taught in school, it's not given to you by the mainstream media it's something that you have to actively seek out as an alternative," Jessica said. * In My Blood is out now.

KEVIN BLOODY WILSON’S RIOT IN ROSEBUD

By Terri Lee Fatouros

I

f you’ve ever caught yourself changing the words of an innocent song into a bawdy ballad, then you can be assured that comedian songster; Kevin Bloody Wilson has had an effect on you at some stage in your life. When his debut album Your average Australian Yobbo was released in 1984, Wilson never imagined that 30 years onward his popularity would be so prevalent that he’d be releasing his 18th album entitled Wrong Wrong Wrong, while touring the world including Australia.

Growing up in Kalgoorlie inspired his comedic side. He met his wife Betty there whom later became his tour manager, doing the logistics, bookings, merchandise and much more due to her background in accountancy. He still keeps friends with his old mates from his sparkie days too. In fact it’s his friends who continually inspire him to be Kevin Bloody Wilson. He claims they are funnier than him.

“The trick to stay motivated is this. I get them together every so often and put on a slab of piss, get them drunk, then steal all their good material, that’s basically how it works.” He laughs. Jokingly he claims that the Kalgoorlie funerals were more fun that city weddings.

I asked Wilson what his basic philosophy is and how he feels when people may look down their noses at him. He totally understands not every one is into his type of humour. But the jokes on them cause he goes out of his way to shock them. He can’t help himself, as he is the perpetual larrikin.

In fact, tattooed on his wrist is D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F, translating to Do I look like I give a f@#k. He doesn’t care less if they have an opinion on his gigs cause they are not buying his CD’s or tickets to his shows anyway.

Nevertheless, Wilson has just come back from doing a month of sold out shows in America and his popularity is as strong now as it was when he began thirty years ago. Wilson’s warmth and down to earth personality along with his larrikin showmanship, natural talent and keen observation of his fellow human gives rise to his mischievous sense of rude humour.

He never tries to analyse what he does. If it keeps making his mates laugh then he will continue doing it.

A highlight of his career was doing his own sold out show at the London Palladium

around 1997 called The Far Canal Tour.

Interesting enough, his prime objective is being a good father, husband, and grandfather to his five grandchildren. He has been happily married for 44 years. This is instilled in his daughter Jenny, a talented comedian like her dad; that her two children come first.

However, Jenny Talia from Australia as she is known does follow in her father’s footsteps performing bawdy songs and is currently based in Chicago. Her bawdy ballads come from the female perspective, with the likes of Camel Toe and Chocolate is Better than Sex. Wilson and I chatted and laughed for over 40 minutes. Ironically we were both in our cars parked in random car parks, me in Carrum and he in Perth, as we conversed.

He had me in hysterics when he explained the meaning behind his Born again Piss Tank album of some years back. “It’s a take on the Born Again Christians who don’t have a sense of humour. I gave up drinking for two days.

During this time I got an epiphany that I cant live without alcohol.”

But as far as a higher power goes, well someone has created this amazing day in Perth, he claims.

Kev lands at Rosebud Hotel this August with his Second of the Final Farewell Tours Wilson thinks it’s a hoot when people sing Perhaps. He laughs saying, “the trick is I’ll their own bawdy ballads knowing full well he’s probably do four years of Final Tours, then probably influenced them in some way. He take six months off. Then I’ll start with The grew up listening to the ole dinky die ballads Come Back Tours and try and do more and was changing the words even then. come back tours than Farnham. Then I’ll For example he says, Chris Kristofferson’s get myself diagnosed with Bi polar and do song, Take the Ribbon from your Hair was the Split up Tour, take another six months changed to Wipe the Dribble from your Chin... off then come back with the Reunion Wilson understands we all have the propensity Tour.” He laughs roguishly. to do that sort of stuff, to make it fit.

A FISHERMEN’S TALE Two men are fishing in a boat under a bridge and see a funeral procession starting across the bridge. One of the men stands up, takes off his cap and bows his head. The procession crosses the bridge, and the man puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel and continues fishing. His friend says, “That was touching. I didn’t know you had it in you.”

He responds, “Well, I guess it was the right thing to do -- after all, I was married to her for 40 years.”

SweePee crowned

WORLD'S UGLIEST DOG A

blind and nearly hairless 17-year-old Chinese crested Chihuahua-mix named SweePee Rambo has been crowned the World's Ugliest Dog. Jason Wurtz, SweePee's owner, recently took home $US1500 ($A2000) and a trophy from the bizarre annual competition that is part of the Sonoma Marin Fair in California.

Three judges used personality, appearance and the audiences' reaction to decide the winning dog from dozens of entries.

SweePee, with her glassy eyes, wrinkled skin and small tuft of hair, faced competition from entries like Zsa-Zsa, an English bulldog with a jutting jaw, protruding teeth and a floppy tongue that hung out of his mouth.

SweePee followed in the footsteps of last year's winner Quasi Modo, a pitbull German shepherd mix, whose deformed back resembles a hyena.

This was the 28th year of the competition.

Right: Ugly dog contestants Sweepee Rambo and owner Jason Wurtz celebrate in winning the 2016 World's Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, USA

Chloe

Miss Mew

Hi there, my name is Chloe and I’m full of beans!I really enjoy being around people, so I would love to spend lots of time inside with you. My coat is low-maintenance, but I might need some grooming when I’m moulting. I might be a little too energetic for children, but I’m perfect company for a house with adults. I’m bursting with energy and would love to be your jogging companion.

Location – Peninsula Phone – (03) 5978 9000

Hi there, my name is Miss Mew and I look forward to having an indoor lifestyle in my new home. This will protect my light features from the sun. I’m a shy puss just waiting to blossom in the right home. I’m a smoochy puss. I have a short, easy-care coat.

I would like to live in a quiet adult household. I need to go to a home with no other pets. I am desexed.

Cody

Hey guys! My name is Jet. I am a spunky young man with a lot of love to give, I am a cheeky boy who loves exploring. I was handed in as a stray to the pound so my background is a mystery but I do love head scratches, a good cuddle and strawberries!

If you think you could give me a forever home or even a foster home please contact FFR today!

“...epitomises pure Swedish style”

V

olvo Car Australia has announced the official launch price of its much anticipated luxury large sedan, the All-New S90, which boasts world leading safety features and sophisticated Swedish design and style.

Featuring a no-compromise driving experience and true prestige class proportions, the All-New S90 is the second car to be developed based on Volvo’s new SPA platform. The first was Volvo’s award-winning XC90 luxury SUV released in 2015.

“The All-New S90 combines outstanding driving performance, industry-leading safety features and a high quality, luxurious interior that epitomises pure Swedish style,” said Kevin McCann, Managing Director of Volvo Car Australia.

“The S90 is without doubt the best luxury sedan Volvo has ever produced. It sets a new standard that will strengthen Volvo’s position in the prestige sedan segment in Australia.”

The All-New S90 features class leading intelligent safety features, including standard semi-autonomous pilot assist, a sleek cockpit with intuitive user interface and outstanding driving performance with Drive-E engines. New PowerPulse is the latest innovation from Volvo, delivering instantaneous turbo response in the D5 powertrain through an ingenious use of compressed air, used to spool up the turbo before exhaust gases can build up to follow through.

assistance available at speeds above 50 km/h and without a car in front. The Pilot Assist now works up to 130 km/h.

Volvo City Safety which currently detects pedestrians and cyclists, has been enhanced in the All-New S90 to detect large animals (e.g. horses and cows). The radar/camera unit can detect large animals standing on the road or slowly moving across it with the side towards the car. If a collision is judged to be imminent and the driver does not react, the car will brake itself with a maximum speed reduction of 15 km/h, so as to avoid or mitigate a collision.

Volvo’s Run-Off Road system uses data from the radar/camera unit and visible road markings and road edges to determine if road departure is imminent. The Run-Off Road Mitigation system intervenes by helping the driver steer in a path that will reduce the risk of road departure – and if this is not enough, it will also reduce the speed of the car. Run-Off Road Mitigation is active between 65-140 km/h, day and night.

Should a road departure be unavoidable, prepared front seat belts and energy absorbing seat cushions will offer the driver and front passenger maximum protection.

PowerPulse technology is a brand new Volvo technology that allows for quicker acceleration from standstill, by reducing the turbo lag found in Diesel engines when the accelerator is pressed quickly at low revs in first or second gear. This is done by The All-New S90 is equipped with adding a small electric compressor a high level of safety features, both which releases air into the exhaust protective and preventive, making system before the turbocharger it one of the safest luxury sedans – thus making the turbocharger’s on the road. Volvo continues its leadership in safety and autonomous turbine wheel start to spin instantly and thereby also the compressor driving by introducing the second wheel. generation of Pilot Assist in the All-New S90. This system combines T6 Inscription and D5 Inscription will the functionalities of Lane Keep be the two first variants and will be at Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control the dealerships during October. T5 and further improves this so the Momentum and D4 Momentum will vehicle is kept in the centre of the follow in November. Further variants lane with light steering adjustments will be available during the first half (driver must keep their hand on the of 2017, and will be a subject of steering wheel). It also has steering further announcements.

DAY FALLS APART, JOHNSON WINS WGC

W

orld No.1 Jason Day has vowed to use his spectacular late collapse at the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational as motivation heading to the British Open.

Day was on track for a fourth win of the year and eighth win in 20 starts when he led at Firestone Country Club with four holes to play, only to implode.

His stumbles allowed a surging US Open champion Dustin Johnson his second win in as many starts, rocketing the American to world No.2.

Johnson matched his Saturday fourunder-66 with another to soar up to six-under-274 for the championship while Day, who held the lead for most of the final round dropped four shots in his final four holes to crash out.

Day missed a four-foot par putt on the 15th before butchering the par five 16th with a double-bogey seven.

His tee shot went way left and ended up behind dense trees, a punch shot under them ended up in the right rough and despite a ruling of a free drop after a spectator moved his ball behind a tree Day then punched his third into water.

His fifth shot went long and two shots later his championship was effectively over.

Needing to finish birdie-birdie to force a playoff Day's effort from the fringe on the 17th came up short and then a wild drive on 18 ended any hopes of a miracle hole out.

He finished with a two-over-72 to be tied third at three under with Jordan Spieth (67), Matt Kuchar (66) and

Kevin Chappell (67).

Scott Piercy (70) took second alone at five under.

"I'm disappointed, but I've got to try and focus on what I did great this week, move on, and try and get better for the British Open," Day said.

"I feel like my game is coming around nicely."

Asked if he regretted his decision of going for the green with his water-bound punch shot Day insisted he believed it was the play but he just failed to execute it.

"I hit a good shot, I just didn't hit it hard enough," he said.

Day had turned his last five 54-hole leads into victory but is now six of 13 all-time.

Ironically it was a triple-bogey eight in the same hole, albeit in the third round, that scuppered Day's hopes in the 2015 event.

Adam Scott closed with a two-under-68 to finish at even par in a tie for 10th, his first top 10 since his WGC win in March.

Matt Jones (69) was the next best Australian at two over while Marcus Fraser, Nathan Holman, Marc Leishman and Steven Bowditch finished well off the pace.

Radradra slamming is unfair, says teammate

Radradra was present for a routine video review at Old Saleyards Reserve on Monday, and is still expected to appear for the club in their next NRL

fixture against the Sydney Roosters on Friday night.

Gordon said the Fijian flyer put in a good performance against the Sharks.

"He had a lot of tough carries and the Sharks (did) a really good job on him," he said.

"He can't score length of the field tries every week but I thought he (did) a lot of hard work. He's a great player and the Sharks (did) a really good job on him."

Radradra is slated to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Tuesday, where he is expected to plead not guilty to domestic violence charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and two counts of common assault.

Melbourne rookie in sight of Folau mark

Aussie Sapphires win U17 world title

A

ustralia's next crop of female basketball stars have delivered the country's first world title in a decade.

The Sapphires beat Italy 62-38 in the final of the under-17 FIBA world championships in Spain to finish undefeated and win the gold medal early on Sunday morning (AEST).

It's Australia's best-ever result at the tournament, having never previously finished better than fifth.

They join the 2006 Opals and under-19 Gems as Australia's only world championship-winning women's teams.

Monique Conti, Ezi Magbegor and captain Jasmine Simmons were among the standouts,

named in the All-Star five with Magbegor also earning MVP. "I couldn't be prouder of my team," Sapphires coach Shannon Seebohm said.

"When we got together for our camp to select the team, we talked about being the best defensive team in the world and really committing to that side of the ball and I could not have imagined it to go any better.

"It's an unbelievable feeling.

I can see a lot of our girls playing for the Opals one day."

The Sapphires handed the USA their first-ever loss in the tournament's history en route to the gold-medal match, beating them 73-60 in the semi-final.

omparisons with Israel Folau appear inevitable for after the Fijian flyer remained on track to shatter the dual international's NRL rookie try scoring record.

Vunivalu took his season tally to 16 tries in 10 games after flying high with a hat-trick in Melbourne's 48-6 record demolition of Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

"He is getting an opportunity probably earlier than he expected and what we expected.

"But he's a wonderful kid.

"He has a lot of natural ability but he is willing to learn and works hard."

The 192cm winger has featured in barely 30 games of football in his life after being spotted

by Storm scouts playing rugby in New Zealand and joining Melbourne just two years ago.

And with eight regular season games left, Vunivalu is already in "He was outstanding in the air.

He has an ability to get over sight of Folau's record for most the try line," Storm coach Craig tries in a rookie season.

Bellamy said after the eight try Folau crossed for an impressive romp inflicted Brisbane's worst 21 tries in 27 games in his first home loss.

The Australian 19-year-old says he has been targeted by opponents desperate to outplay him since he landed in the US in 2013 with a big reputation.

"It's always been like that for me since high school.

"Everyone has always wanted to go at me and have that shot."

The 76ers will play three Summer League games this week in Utah and then join 23 other NBA teams for the 10-day Las Vegas Summer League tournament.

Simmons will also go head-tohead with the Celtics' 23-year-old second round 2015 draft pick Marcus Thornton, who spent last year in the NBL with the Sydney Kings.

Simmons signed his rookie contract, worth more than $US16 million ($A21.48 million) the next three years, on Saturday.

The 76ers likely paid him the maximum allowed for his first year: $US5.9 million ($A7.92 million).

Cyclist Perkins cops Rio non-selection

S

hane Perkins will accept his Rio Olympics nonselection, saying an appeal would have created too much stress.

While the Australian track cyclist admitted to disappointment and frustration at missing out on the men's sprint team for Rio, he is also proud of what he has achieved in the last six months.

Perkins revealed on Monday he is a second reserve for the men's sprinters, essentially meaning two other riders must be ruled out for medical reasons if the London Olympian is to compete in Rio. "Everyone knows my results in the last year and people would obviously think 'why don't you appeal?'," he told AAP.

fought back with a succession of good results to put himself back in Olympics contention.

Perkins spoke a length on Monday about his non-selection and was philosophical.

His calm reaction was far removed from the fiery sprinter who clashed on the track with future brother-in-law Ryan Bayley before the Beijing Olympics.

Perkins also found himself in trouble two years later at the Delhi Commonwealth Games when he angrily gestured at race officials.

"I'm fortunate that I've been through those tough times and the good times," Perkins said.

"It gives you a bit of perspective on sometimes your decision making and how you'll react in certain situations.

"My reason is that, as a person, I didn't feel like I wanted to go down that path because it can be a hugely stressful one for myself, "It would be really easy - and it is easy - to just fly off the handle my family, my teammates, and get angry, point the finger at heading towards Rio." everybody else.

Perkins' fate has been one of the "What's harder is to sit back and biggest pre-Rio stories for the Australian Olympic cycling team, ... understand where they're coming from." which will be announced on Tuesday in Adelaide.

Perkins added it was easier to cop not going to Rio because It looms as a big couple of days since last October, he could not for fellow track sprinter Anna have done more to stake his Meares - on Wednesday, she is claim for selection. also expected to be named as the flag bearer for the Australian Rio team.

Late last month, Australian cycling legend Shane Kelly endorsed Perkins' recall to the national team for the Games.

Perkins was dropped from the national program last October and considered retirement, but

The 29 year-old is now focussed on the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

After Rio, he hopes to re-join the Australian track program.

"It's obviously my hope that I am on Cycling Australia's radar for the future," he said.

SPORT  59 The MRP laid eight charges after assessing round 15 AFL action with the Bombers duo the only players to be offered bans.

Richmond's Jack Riewoldt and Trent Cotchin and Port Adelaide's Justin Westhoff, Kane Mitchell and Jasper Pittard received fines for wrestling or being involved in a melee during the Power's win on Friday night.

Carlton's Dale Thomas escaped with a fine for his high bump on Collingwood's James Aish.

It was a steadying moment for the baby-faced forward, who carried a weight of expectation into the game.

Jack ensured the Silvagni name represented Carlton on the field for seven straight decades with his debut, following on from premiershipwinning grandfather Sergio and fullback-of-the-century father Stephen.

"His workrate was solid. He's running hard out the back, leading up to the ball carrier.

But that wasn't entirely Collingwood's fault.

Late in the final quarter, Silvagni showed his Silvagni, 18, was the youngest selflessness with a squaring player on the field in Saturday pass after marking in the night's 12-point loss to forward pocket, denying himself Collingwood but wasn't fazed a chance to break the duck to by the occasion. give Bryce Gibbs an improved He leapt into action with a mark angle. and pass to set up Jed Lamb Bolton was torn between for the first goal of the match. praising Silvagni's

"It's step one in hopefully a really long career," he said.

"In terms of a third generation at our club, it's something to be excited about. I hope our members are excited about, but we still need to keep it really in perspective."

To that end, Bolton wasn't about to pencil in Silvagni for next Sunday's meeting with Adelaide.

"We're pleased with his first game ... but I like to really dissect and have a look on every part of that," he said.

Swans focus on A fter falling to the Western Bulldogs, Sydney face a week of soul-searching before Friday's hit-out with Geelong provides them a shot at redemption.

The Swans blew a golden chance to reclaim top spot on the AFL ladder on Saturday, pipped by four points in the final seconds of play at the SCG. Coach John Longmire's side had the upper hand at halftime but fell victim to a third-quarter walloping by Dogs midfielders Marcus Bontempelli and Tom Liberatore, the latter steering his team to a five-goal streak.

Lance Franklin looked to have saved a sinking ship in the final

term, before comeback kid Jason Johannisen booted the winning major moments before the siren sounded.

Standout performer Luke Parker lamented the Swans' disorganisation at pivotal moments.

"It's cost us a few times, our structures this year," Parker said.

"It's frustrating we're not getting it right at a crucial time of the game."

The result means Sydney have slipped to fourth and are bunched in a cluster of teams on 40 points instead of where they could be - at the summit ahead of Hawthorn.

"There's no better way to bounce back"

Crows not thinking top four yet: Lyons

A

delaide midfielder Jarryd Lyons has cautioned his AFL teammates against thinking about a possible topfour finish.

The Crows beat Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday to rise to fifth on the ladder but Lyons says the Crows aren't looking too far ahead.

"We just want to make the finals before we start talking about top four, it's so close you drop a couple of games here and there and all of a sudden you're out of the eight," he told reporters on Monday.

"We are, it's the old cliche, taking it one week at a time which is pretty much all we can do at the moment with how close it is.

"The club is in a good position at the moment and we're playing good footy which is the key."

The Crows are among six clubs with 10 wins and four losses - one win behind ladder leaders Hawthorn and also one victory ahead of eighthplaced West Coast.

Adelaide have logged six consecutive wins and return to the MCG this Sunday to play Carlton.

"The good thing is we go back to the G, that is where you have got to play your best footy, that is where it is all put on the line in September (in finals) so it will be nice to get back there again," Lyons said.

Cats ready to unleash fit Mitch Clark

G

eelong are on the verge of unleashing Mitch Clark against Sydney, with the key tall doing everything coach Chris Scott has asked of him in his return from a debilitating calf injury.

Clark's last AFL game for the Cats was in round nine last season, but Scott said he had been tempted to bring him into the side that went on to suffer a shock loss to St Kilda before the bye.

Second-placed Geelong host the fourth-placed Swans at Simonds Stadium on Friday night in a clash that promises to be the match of the round.

Roos says they need to sustain attack

M

elbourne coach Paul Roos says they played a very good game of football against Adelaide but they need to improve.

The Demons attack just wasn't enough against a tough Crows side and Roos says they need to sustain their aggression the whole game.

He says they've made a huge improvement in their ball movement, but not quite at that level for long enough.

"I won't go into detail but there was a few injuries that were restricting me from doing that earlier in the season but I'm getting on top of them now and feeling good," Ablett said when asked about regaining the ability to run through packs with the ball in recent weeks.

Star Saint backs AFL captaincy switch S

t Kilda veteran Leigh Montagna believes the time might be right for teammate Nick Riewoldt to hand the Saints' AFL captaincy to a younger player next season.

Riewoldt, 33, has captained the club for 212 of his 311 AFL games, joining Footscray legend Ted Whitten in equalthird on the all-time list of matches as a captain at the weekend.

The star forward recently signed a new one-year deal to play on next season and could overtake Carlton's Stephen Kernahan (226 games) as the longest-serving skipper in history if he stays in the role.

"I probably think it's been in the works for a couple of years that there will be a handover, a succession, and it might be next year.

"hopefully we can get both those guys locked away in the next month or so"

Ablett wants Suns star duo to stay FOOTBALL

G

old Coast captain Gary Ablett will be surprised if the Suns don't do all they can to retain off-contract pair Jaeger O'Meara and Dion Prestia.

Ablett says he's spoken to both players about their future, and while he himself isn't putting them under any pressure, he's expecting the AFL club to push hard to resign the midfielders.

O'Meara made a successful return from a career-threatening knee injury last weekend with a half for the club's reserves - his first taste of football since rupturing a patella tendon in April last year.

Both the 22-year-old and ball-magnet Prestia have been linked with a move to a

"We want those guys hanging around this football club," Ablett said.

"They're valued around the club and they're a big part of this football side.

"I know for Jaeger it was about getting back and playing a few games first before they started talking contracts. I don't know what's happening with Dion.

"I'm sure the club's pushing hard and hopefully we can get both those guys locked

After injury-plagued seasons in 2014 and 2015, many were questioning whether the 32-year-old could recapture his best after a lukewarm start to this season.

Ablett admits he was short of run after failing to feature in any of the Suns' pre-season fixtures but after a season-best display against Hawthorn in Tasmania, the midfield general backed that up with another hard-
