HUNTER’S FUTURE

School trash talk

NSW Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Brad Hazzard, has visited the Hunter to inspect key development sites and launch the State Government’s new discussion paper, ‘The Lower Hunter over the next 20 Years’. Addressing members of the development industry on Friday, Mr Hazzard said the discussion paper was crucial to ensuring positive growth in the region over the next 20 years.

‘Binless’ day gets students talking about how to reduce waste MELISSAH COMBER

B

eing in charge of the environment is not an easy job, but someone has to do it. At Maitland Public School, this task falls on the shoulders of Year 6 student, India Laing, who was the driving force behind the school’s recent ‘Binless Playground Day’. Held last Wednesday, Binless Playground Day saw several schools around the Hunter remove all bins, encouraging students to bring their lunch in reusable or recyclable containers. India said her school participated because students want to cut down on rubbish, but also because it was a chance to learn about the damage done to the environment. “We hope to raise awareness about the harmful impacts that packaging and waste have on our marine system and marine animals,� she said. The students were able to add food scraps to the compost bin and dispose of paper in the classroom recycling bins. Maitland Public School Principal, Kevin Greaves, said that while going binless every day was not practical, it was an opportunity for the students to think about the long -term impacts of their actions. “It really gets them to think about how they can cut down, as well as consider better ways they can use their rubbish.�

ypsy is a 5-year-old blue heeler. She is very fit, extremely sociable, does not dig holes, and gets along well with horses, ponies, cattle, chickens and cats. She loves to play with and catch toys and lives for belly rubs. She loves all people of all ages and adores children. Gypsy has good basic training: she can sit, lay, fetch and walk on lead. A typical cattle dog, she is very clever, obedient and quick to learn new things. Gypsy is not friendly with new dogs, so she needs to be introduced slowly. As long as the other dog is submissive and no threat to her, then she will be friends with them. She has been house-trained but will need a quick refresher course in her new home. She is a very friendly and social girl and craves human companionship, so she needs to spend at least some time every day inside with her family.

Planning Minister defends decision to cut CBD rail line

N

SW Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Brad Hazzard, has visited the Hunter to inspect key development sites and launch the State Government’s new discussion paper, ‘The Lower Hunter over the next 20 Years’. Addressing members of the development industry at Town Hall on Friday, Mr Hazzard said the discussion paper was crucial to ensuring positive growth in the region over the next 20 years and the fi rst step in developing a new Lower Hunter Regional Strategy. Unsurprisingly, the revitalisation of the Newcastle CBD and the cutting of the rail line at Wickham formed the basis of Mr Hazzard’s keynote address. “I have absolutely no doubt that you effectively have the Berlin Wall dividing Newcastle,� Mr Hazzard said of the rail line. “Now, any money that some people in the room

think that our decision, inside two years of a major government change, about the Newcastle rail line is the wrong decision. “Well I’m sorry, it’s a decision that’s been taken. “I have seen the deterioration in Newcastle CBD. “It really is atrocious that there has been so little interest in development in the Newcastle CBD for so many years and that can’t be just a casual disinterest, that is obviously a fi nancial disinterest. “I’m determined that we have made the right decision and that it will actually happen and it will happen as soon as we can make it happen,� he said. Mr Hazzard made reassurances that bus links from Wickham train station to the CBD would be “fi rst-class� and said in some senses many people would fi nd connecting to the CBD quicker than what it currently is. The discussion paper can be viewed online at www.planning.nsw.gov. au/lowerhunter.

A

30-year-old Greta man has been charged with the murder of a woman whose body was found at Aberglasslyn over the weekend. After fronting Maitland Police Station on Sunday afternoon, the man was arrested and taken into custody where he was charged with murder. He was refused bail and appeared in Maitland Local Court on Monday, March 11. Police were called to the bank of the Hunter River off the Melville Ford Bridge Crossing on Aberglasslyn Road, at Aberglasslyn on Sunday morning around 8am following reports from members of the public, who had found a woman’s body next to the river. Central Hunter Detectives immediately launched an investigation into her death. The woman has now been identified as a 23-year-old from Rutherford. Police investigating the matter are asking witnesses or anyone who has any information about this case to come forward to help with their inquries. People who have any information about this incident are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit the online reporting page via www1.police. nsw.gov.au.

grew up in Sydney’s Cronulla. Yep, I’m a “shire girl” from the “insular peninsular”. Since 2005 my childhood hometown is better known for the beach riots and teenagers running the streets with Aussie flags as capes and lovely slogans like “we grew here, you flew here” emblazoned in indelible ink across their chests. When I tell people I am from Cronulla, the riots are the fi rst thing that comes to mind. It is not a racist suburb, but there does seem to be an inherent fear of the ‘outsider’. That fear is not just limited to the Shire. Over the past week, as politicians on both sides made a desperate pitch to Western Sydney, it became clear that this fear of the ‘outsider’ is fuelled from the top. Julia Gillard is clamping down on the rules surrounding 457 temporary skilled migrant visas, because she says the community “has expressed concerns” about rorts. The PM is unable to site specific examples and appears to have made this decision on anecdotal evidence. It’s a blatant pandering to the trade unions and cynically links job security with the perceived threat of foreign workers parachuting in. These 457 visas should be market

The Member for Cook says asylum seekers living in the community should do so under ‘behavioural protocols’ and local police and residents should be alerted when they move in. To be fair, Mr Morrison was reacting to the awful sexual assault of a Macquarie University student, but there’s around 10,000 asylum seekers living in the community and this is a one-off incident. The same rules don’t even apply to prisoners on parole or known peadophiles. These asylum seekers are not criminals – more often than not they came on a leaky boat and are desperate for a better life. The proposals put forward by the Federal Government and Opposition this week are an overreaction and a ploy not based on policy but cynical politics.

M

aitland MP, Robyn Parker, has indicated that the NSW Government will take responsibility for the Long Bridge at the western end of High Street. “My colleague, the Minister for Roads, Duncan Gay, has written to me advising that Roads and Maritime Services will take over management and maintenance responsibilities for the bridge from Maitland City Council,” Ms Parker said. “He also advised that any maintenance works would be subject to Statewide priorities,” she confi rmed. It is understood that discussions have taken place over a period of time after Maitland Council sought clarification from the then Roads and Traffic Authority that the RTA was responsible for funding the care and maintenance of the Long Bridge. “I note the former State Government refused to accept responsibility for the bridge despite the Council’s initial presentation of its case,” Ms Parker said. “I thank Minister Gay for being prepared to reconsider the matter. “With the management and maintenance issues now resolved, I now look forward to working with my Ministerial colleague, the RMS and Maitland Council.”

POLICE MATTERS Senior Constable Kel Boak, Crime Prevention Officer, Central Hunter Police

The many and varied duties of police

I

recently attended the weekly meeting of a local seniors housing project to lecture on safety. The great thing for a policeman attending these types of meetings (apart from the lovely slices) is interacting with the residents and listening to the stories they tell. At this particular meeting, I was asked “Apart from locking up villains and chasing speeding cars, what do police do?” The answer to that question is endless. Our main role is law and order but police also step up to the plate to fi ll numerous roles in our communities. Unlike the TV shows, most police work is more mundane and non-violent. In my varied rural postings across NSW I have removed cats from trees, sheep from roads and horses from bogs. I have been called on to chase snakes, save walkers from snow drifts, organise flood control in the absence of the SES, deal with grieving families, organise respite care for the ill, organise welfare for those in need, answer questions about the weather forecast, catch kids who had run away from school, provide petrol for stranded motorists, dress up as Santa Claus and myriad other things.

The public see police as the answer to many questions. An example is a letter I received last week. It had been sent by a lady from England and was addressed to the officer in charge of police at Mt Vincent. There has never been a police station at Mt Vincent but the enterprising local post mistress passed the letter on to a policeman living locally. Th rough this chain I received the letter which turned out to be from a daughter, carrying out the wishes of her deceased father to keep in contact with an aged lady living in the area. After some investigation, it was found the lady concerned had unfortunately died but was I able to pass on the letter to her family. Speaking to the family, the lady who had died had migrated to Australia to be with her sister, who had previously moved after marrying an Australian pilot in England during WWII. Th is is just a small example of the quiet things that police do which doesn’t make the news. PS: this does not mean that readers are encouraged to call me for cat rescues!

Friday’s International Women’s Day event raised over $8,000 for women’s causes

Fare for equality: Breakfast marks day for women

M

ore than 300 people gathered on Friday to celebrate International Women’s Day and to help raise funds to end violence against women. Belinda Smith, Chair of the UN Women Australia Hunter Chapter committee who organised the event, said the turnout was a great result with over $8,000 raised on the day. “So many local businesses and community members came along to the International Women’s Day breakfast and made it such a successful event,” Mrs Smith said.

“We held a raffle and sold purple ribbons to mark International Women’s Day and with the money raised...we have contributed a total of $30,000 in the last two years to the efforts of ending violence against women,” she said. The event at Wests New Lambton saw Hunter author and women’s advocate, Helen Cummings, join with businessman, Terry Lawler, to push the message of equality for women. A small group of students from Callaghan College also presented a short piece on what they hope to see achieved toward gender equality in their lifetimes.

Accommodating our youth Work begins on state-of-the-art housing facility for youth with disabilities AMELIA PARROTT

I

n a fi rst for the region, a new stateof-the-art accommodation facility for young people living with a disability is being built at Mount Hutton, with the villa-style properties set to provide long-term accommodation for six young people who are currently living in aged care centres. Staff from the disability service provider, Northcott, were joined by local Charlestown MP, Andrew Cornwell, on Wednesday morning to inspect the building work. In NSW, there are currently more than 6,500 young people with fulltime care needs living in aged care. Northcott’s Acting Service Manager NSW, Lyudmyla Dendtler, said the lack of appropriate accommodation for young people with disabilities was a primary concern for the organisation. “Nursing homes have a great purpose, but not for young people,� she said. “We fi nd the main issue is the lack of privacy – sometimes these young people are sharing rooms with much older people. “It’s just going to be a completely different feeling [here]...people will be going out, having barbeques, picnics and inviting people in.� The $2.2 million project was made possible thanks to a capital grant

MAITLAND MATTERS by Maitland City Council Mayor, Cr Peter Blackmore

There’s plenty to be inspired by in our city

I

t’s been a busy few weeks here in Maitland and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with a variety of interesting and inspiring people. Last week I attended a dinner for the St Vincent De Paul Society, and was fortunate enough to hear their CEO, Dr John Falzon, address the audience – what a remarkable speaker! I was riveted and so were the many people around me. Dr Falzon is an advocate for social equity with a vast range of experience behind him. He speaks very knowledgeably about community development and the fight for fairer communities around Australia. Seated near me were many people with similar objectives and interests as Dr Falzon – representatives from Vinnies Housing NSW, Northern Regions Department of Housing and local people involved with St Vincent De Paul. I know they, like me, would have been enriched and inspired by

his words and what he shared with us. I was also impressed to see MasterChef winner, Andy Allen, in action last weekend as I visited the Maitland Taste Festival. As a big supporter of delicious food and welcoming people into our city centre, I was very excited to walk through the crowds and the stalls soaking up the atmosphere. It’s wonderful to see a local boy like Andy Allen making a mark on the international cooking scene. Not only is it inspiring to see such talent, it’s a big win to have a natural advocate for Maitland and the many wonderful festivals and experiences we have to offer. Supporting these types of events and our city in general is a very important aspect of our lifestyle. It will be particularly important as we continue through a period of intense growth in our city to encourage new residents to engage in community events and initiatives so we can continue to thrive as a city well into the future.

STAYING HEALTHY

FASHION FIXATION

by Elisha Stein

by KATHERINE TWEED

Sleep is critical to healthy living

A

National Sleep Foundation study has challenged the long-held notion that the primary function of sleep is to give rest to the brain. Researchers have found that not getting enough shut-eye has a harmful impact on fat cells, reducing by 30 percent the ability to respond to insulin, a hormone that regulates energy. Sleep deprivation has long been associated with impaired brain function, causing decreased alertness and reduced cognitive ability. A recent study published by University of Chicago Medicine researchers is the fi rst description of a molecular mechanism directly connecting sleep loss to the disruption of energy regulation in humans, a process that can lead over time to weight gain, diabetes and other health problems. The study suggests that the role of sleep in energy metabolism is at least as important as it is in brain function. “We found that fat cells need sleep to function properly,� said study author, Associate Professor of Medicine, Matthew Brady, PhD.

“Many people think of fat as a problem, but it serves a vital function,� he said. “Body fat, also known as adipose tissue, stores and releases energy. In storage mode, fat cells remove fatty acids and lipids from the circulation where they can damage other tissues. When fat cells cannot respond effectively to insulin, these lipids leach out into the circulation, [with]serious complications.� Co-author of the study, Eve Van Cauter, PhD, who is the Frederick H. Rawson Professor of Medicine and director of the sleep, metabolism and health center at the University of Chicago, said that some people claim they can tolerate the cognitive effects of routine sleep deprivation. “In this small but thorough study, however, we found that seven out of seven subjects had a significant change in insulin sensitivity. They are not tolerating the metabolic consequences.� So what this means is that there’s more to missing a good night’s sleep than just feeling a bit tired, Sleep, along with your eating and exercise, is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle!

Elisha is a Registered Nurse and Midwife, with years of experience working in emergency departments, general wards, maternity and in the community.

Launch of new season fashions

O

ne of the best things about a change in season is the launch of Autumn/Winter fashions. Th is past week, I have been particularly following the Myer Autumn Winter 2013 Fashion Launch. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am fully aware that the official launch was in the last days of February, but the photos are only just beginning to circulate. I have been carefully reading what the critics have to say, following the reaction of models and photographers on Twitter and perusing through countless photo galleries. From what I have seen and heard, the trends for the season are worth getting excited about. Blacks and whites were really the star of the show, a trend that I didn’t see coming. Metallics and leather, as seen in the Manning Cartell collection, are set to be very popular as is the luxe sport trend, see the Nicola Finetti collection in Myer’s A/W show. Myer’s Menswear is all about dark colours; think black, deep blue and dark grey; clean cuts and

sophisticated styles. Kris Smith looked great (not that he ever doesn’t) in Arthur Galan AG; and I especially loved the bow tie. The show was great, the models looked hot and the clothes were fantastic. But what did disappoint me is that parts of the show and some of the clothing was a little unrealistic in the sense that it was made, literally, for the models. I know that it is normal in a show like this but I was a little annoyed that many pieces, particularly the spectacular dresses worn by Jennifer Hawkins, were custom made. It’s a shame we can’t all have a designer come around to our homes and fit us with the perfect dress! I wish that we could have seen the real thing – what it would look like if I had simply picked it up off the rack and put it on in the changerooms. Because that’s what Myer’s customers will do – walk in, try on a few dresses, and spend their hard earned on what’s in front of them. But, it is just one small criticism for a fabulous showcase. Th is is going to be a great season!

ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

Mars the planet of war enters over confident and assertive Aries on the 13th and immediately squares off against powerful Pluto, who is determined to keep him in line. Therefore you are likely to feel as if you’re caught in a power struggle that nobody can win. Dramas at work and home will throw your equilibrium, on a positive note if you’ve fallen into a rut this planetary shakeup may be a blessing in disguise, as thankfully benevolent Jupiter and quick thinking Uranus is there to help keep everyone in line.

YOUR HOROSCOPE by FRANCIS A BEVAN www.francisbevan.com

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

The planets are pushing you out of your comfort zone. At work, the New Moon on the 11th will usher in some big changes, while on the health front an innovative therapy will give you some new insights. Mars is making your hormones race and you need to be careful of being too assertive in relationships, as this will only cause power struggles with loved ones. The Full Moon on the 27th indicates that you may become anxious over a child, however given time this matter will resolve itself.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Dealings with those in authority is fraught with difficulties at this time, and whether this manifests as a dominant boss, difficult partner, problems with your father or battles with officials, you’ll need to be tolerant. Avoid power struggles and deal with problems logically. The New Moon on the 11th indicates a need to slow down and take life as it comes. The Full Moon on the 27th warns you not to be overly aggressive with loved ones.

GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

The planets make it awfully difficult for you to avoid fi nancial issues that have been swept under the carpet for way too long. You’ve turned a blind eye to some important issues surrounding your future security, however positive action can now transform this into a successful outcome. The Full Moon on the 27th indicates a need to set certain boundaries into place regarding your relationship with children or younger people.

CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

There are legal issues that need to be dealt with and some complications are likely. There may be fi nes or other bureaucratic debts to handle, also care should be taken when driving to avoid speeding tickets and other incidents. Remember haste makes waste, so allow more time to get your jobs done. The Full Moon on the 27th indicates that problems at home or with your mother are on the cards.

LEO JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

VIRGO With Venus in Pisces, your sensitive side surfaces and someone’s odd behaviour suddenly makes sense, while lovers are likely to fi nd themselves connecting on a deeper and more intimate level. When it comes to children and even adults who insist on acting like kids, the key phrase is ‘tough love’. Sometimes you have to take a stand and let others know exactly what you will and won’t put up with.

Sunday Brunch 9.30am to 12 noon on the East Side. We will be offering a great menu ranging from light snacks through to a full English Breakfast! All at affordable prices in our lovely Country Cottage Garden Tea Rooms. Quilting shop open if needed!

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

You may feel as though you are caught in the middle of a melodrama and it will be necessary for you to assert your authority especially when dealing with stubborn and demanding children or adults. Exercise will keep you grounded, so why not hit the gym or have a backyard blitz! Financially, you need to stick to the tried and tested, as the planets are making you become more aware of your fiscal position.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

You are ready to expand your social circle and with Venus increasing your community spirit, it’s the ideal time to leap into any local events and try to meet the neighbours. On a practical level, you’d be wise to get all quotes in writing and play it safe when shopping online. With Mars activating your domestic zone, be very careful of getting locked into power struggles with the family.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

Try not to get angry especially over fi nancial matters. You’re emotional and likely to snap at others if you don’t get your own way! You could fi nd yourself spending more than you are earning, so you will have to be disciplined to stop these debts spiralling out of control. It will also be necessary for you to guard against accidents in the home. The Full Moon on the 27th warns that anything to do with travelling or foreign affairs is not going to go to plan.

With Venus in your sign you’ll be injecting fun and glamour into your life and romantically you will go from strength to strength. Friendships need careful handling. However, be tactful with what you fi nd out, as not everyone has the same outlook that you do. The Full Moon on the 27th indicates that you need to be careful not to get yourself into a tight corner fi nancially.

You’ll need to be patient, rather than getting frustrated or angry, as Powerful Pluto is setting up road blocks both money wise and on the job front, so use these delays to fi ne tune your plans for progress in April. You may hear disturbing gossip that undermines the opinion you had of someone. Before you believe what you hear, be certain as to the source of your information. The New Moon on the 11th is the ideal time to focus on physical relationships!

Brimming with confidence, you’ll feel as though you can take on the world and win, never mind the tasks already on your agenda. However, if you insist on being arrogant and following this overly optimistic course you will only be a fool to yourself. You need to be wary of your stress levels and be more sensible regarding your schedule. The Full Moon on the 27th indicates a need to take better care of your health and energy levels.

SISTER ACT TWO AMELIA PARROTT

I

t takes something big to persuade a group to abandon a sound that has seen them through six records but for Canadian double act, Tegan and Sara, the reason was age. Both now in their thirties and still finding their name appearing under bigger indie acts after more than a decade in the business, the twins were forced to re-evaluate their career in a big way. The result is Heartthrob, a record that sees the Quins take a dramatic leap from their tried and tested indie rock leanings and embrace a much more mainstream, pop sound, a decision that Sara Quin said wasn’t an easy one to make. “I don’t think I was concerned that people would like it,” Quin revealed to TE. “I think that for me what was more distressing was just wanting to be able to talk about this record and not feel bad for having the ambition that we did. “I didn’t want people to write this off as a ploy to be successful. “I wanted people to say ‘This was Tegan and Sara wanting to be more successful’ and not have all these negative connotations associated with that.”

Although admitting that nowadays she is far more influenced by artists like Alicia Keys and Beyonce than Peaches or Arcade Fire, Quin is still quick to reaffirm her punk rock roots. “When we were teenagers in the 90s, this sort of idea of selling out or doing things that were disingenuous or too corporate, all of those ideas are very grounded in who we are as people. “I still go sit in my closet and sing at the top of my lungs and probably terrify my neighbours and sing about my broken heart and my insecurities and my deficits as a person. “I still eat, sleep and breathe this band.” Excited to showcase new material when the duo are in Australia next month as part of the Groovin’ the Moo Festival, Quin said despite being pop songs, their new tracks pose new challenges when it comes to performing live. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for people who are like, dancing around and running around in pop bands because I’m used to just standing incredibly stationary and singing in a fairly comfortable range for myself to now, suddenly I really have to focus all of my energy on these fairly athletic parts and harmonies even though they sound more simple straight forward songs, they’re actually quite a lot more complicated and less forgiving.

“I do get off stage and think, ‘Holy God, I’m tired’ – every single night.” Catch Tegan and Sara when they play at the Groovin’ the Moo Festival

at Maitland Showground on Saturday, April 27. Or, if you missed out on tickets, catch them at the Sydney Opera House from April 25-26.

fter a hugely successful 2011, Western Australian hip-hop artist Drapht has been noticeably absent from Australian stages, save for a few festival appearances. However, he’s currently redressing that balance with his 20-date ‘Uni-Verse’ tour that will bring him to the Bar on the Hill this week. Drapht, who is still riding the crest of his glorious fourth album, ‘Life Of Riley’ (which picked up a number one spot on the ARIA charts, ARIA and AIR nods for best urban release and three songs from the slab making the Triple J Hottest 100), said while the latest album would form the basis of the show, it would also incorporate tracks from his previous albums ‘Pale Rider’, ‘Who Am I’ and ‘Brothers Grimm’. “I’m definitely going to be touching on my whole career with this tour,� he said. “It’s been ten years now since I released ‘Pale Rider’ and I really appreciate the fact that I am able to develop those sounds that I came up with back then into something that is more representative of who I am now.� Drapht said that he essentially put everything he had into his latest album and was heartened by the fact that it had been so well received by both critics and punters alike. “Recording the album was such a gruelling process,� he said. “After the success of ‘Jimmy Recard’ [from the ‘Brothers Grimm set’] I kind of felt a bit of pressure to go one better, I

guess. Pretty much all of the recording, arranging and writing was done in my home studio so I was living and breathing the album all the time. “I’d find that I couldn’t even sit on the couch and watch television without feeling guilty for not working on the album. That said, I’d say the end result was definitely worth it and I’m really proud.� Catch Drapht when he plays at the Bar on the Hill on Friday, March 15.

Finals in jeopardy Friday’s heartbreaking loss sees Jets teeter on top six STEPHEN BISSET

T

he Newcastle Jets were left heartbroken with their fi nals chances in jeopardy after Perth Glory snatched a late extra-time goal to clinch a 2-1 victory during their clash at Hunter Stadium on Friday night. The Jets looked confident from the starting whistle and nearly went ahead in the third minute after striker, Adam Taggart, found himself on the end of a perfectly weighted through ball on the six-yard line. Taggart volleyed but his shot wasn’t good enough for Glory keeper Danny Vukovic who, with a reflex save, pushed it over the crossbar. Connor Chapman nearly made it 1-0 just moments later after he found himself unmarked from a Ruben Zadkovich free kick. Despite the Jets best efforts, it was the Glory who found the net fi rst, in the 24th minute. Liam Miller played a beautiful long ball to Chris Harold down the right wing, who ran the ball up the pitch before cutting back to Mathias Cordoba, who netted a shot from the edge of the area. After some good pressure from the Jets, their efforts fi nally paid off just before half time when Marko Jesic wrangled himself into space before playing a brilliant ball to Adam Taggart, whose fi rst-time shot made it 1-1 at the break. The Jets went into the second-half full

of confidence but couldn’t capitalise on a plethora of chances, including Michael Bridges in the 72nd minute who fl icked a Craig Goodwin corner dangerously close to the Glory net before Vukovic made a reflex save at the near post. Despite making many inroads into the Glory half, the Jets couldn’t manage to get ahead and, just when it looked as though both teams would take a share of the spoils, Michael Thwaite made the breakthrough for Perth in stoppage time after an errant corner wasn’t sufficiently cleared by the Jets’ defence, leaving the Glory captain to slot home a deflected ball from six-yards out. With just two Michael Bridges makes a run into clear space during Friday’s match rounds left to play in the regular A-League season, the Jets will to Hindmarsh Stadium to take on Adelaide be looking for three points when they travel United on Friday night.
