HISTORY: Ross sheep producer Georgina Wallace from Trefusis with her grand champion fleece at the Australian Fleece Competition in Bendigo.

Trefusis fleece tops all ROSS sheep producers Georgina and Hamish Wallace have recorded a near perfect score to be crowned grand champions at the Australian Fleece Competition in Bendigo.

The 17th annual event was held in Bendigo over the weekend, where the Northern Tasmania producers scored 97.1 points out of a possible 100 for their entered fleece.

The score is possibly the highest score in the com-

petition’s history. It is the second time in three years the Wallaces have won grand champion fleece.

“We’ve come from a traditional Saxon superfine flock and we decided in 2009 we needed to make some significant changes with where the wool market was at,” Ms Wallace said.

“We embraced the changes and knew we were going to suffer a couple of years of pain with losing traditional Saxon ram buyers.

“I licked my wounds but at the end of the day it proves we have persevered and we are starting to see some results.”

In 2015, Trefusis took out the grand champion title with a productive ewe fleece.

“To win grand champion for two years in the last three proves that if you believe in what you’re doing and work hard, through thick and thin, you will get there,” Ms Wallace said.

“We’re a small fish in a big

pond – to win two years ago was exciting, this year I cried again,” she said.

“To win the grand champion fleece out of so many fleeces is phenomenal - I am thrilled.”

Ms Wallace also secured the most successful stud exhibitor award.

Their win was a close call ahead of fellow Tasmanian exhibitor, Roxford Pastoral, who won Reserve Champion award, scoring 97 - a mere .1 behind.

Competition judges, Australian Merino Export Company’s Chris Kelly and Landmark’s Matthew Thomas, praised the impeccable preparation of the fleeces, which they said was reflected by the record high points achieved this year.

The annual competition is run by the Australian Sheep Breeders Association, Australian Wool Testing Authority and Landmark, as part of the Australian Sheep and Wool Show.

NO FURTHER influenza A cases have been reported in Launceston General Hospital since Saturday night.

However, Tasmanian Health Service Executive Director of Operations Eric Daniels said the result could change as testing was ongoing to determine whether other patients have been infected.

Six cases of influenza A were confirmed in ward 6D, with testing protocols still in place.

Mr Daniels said the results were likely to be known on Tuesday.

“Additional cleaning is being conducted to prevent further spread of the virus,” he said.

The hospital was forced to stop admissions to the general medical ward because of the number of cases of influenza A on Friday. By 3pm, three cases had been confirmed with four others suspected.

Mr Daniels reminded visitors that entry to the ward was being restricted while infection control was in place.

He advised anyone suffering from influenza or similiar symptoms, which include fever, dry cough and fatigue, to avoid visiting patients.

Whovians react to announcement of show’s first female Doctor FOR the first time in its 54-year history, the BBC’s beloved sci-fi time travel show Doctor Who has a female lead.

British actress Jodie Whittaker was announced on Sunday as the Thirteenth Doctor in a surprise announcement for a show that has traditionally kept the main character male.

The Doctor is an alien character who reinvents themselves through regeneration, while flying through time and space in a big blue police box, chasing the mysteries of the universe.

Taking over from Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi, Whittaker said she was “beyond excited” to be named the first female Doctor in a show all about “hope”.

Reaction to the announcement has been mostly excited to finally see a woman take on the iconic role of the madcap Time Lord with a few misgivings about what direction the show will take next.

One of Tasmania’s biggest Doctor Who fans is 10-yearold Chelsea Anderson.

books, trading cards, a Cyberman mask and a Matt Smith-era sonic screwdriver, Chelsea has watched all the series since Christopher

Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor.

Her favourite may be Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor, but when Peter Capaldi announced he was leaving,

she said she felt sad.

Of the show’s run of human companions tossed into strange adventures with the Doctor, Chelsea’s

favourite is Clara, known as The Impossible Girl.

But with Whittaker stepping into the TARDIS for the future, Chelsea is curious to

see what happens.

“I think it will be interesting to see how the Doctor deals with becoming a woman,” she said.

Vehicles ‘weapons’: Allen

BY ROB INGLIS

VEHICLES used in a dangerous or negligent fashion need to be considered deadly weapons under the law, a police advocate says.

The statement comes after the state government proposed increased penalties for dangerous and negligent driving.

On Sunday, Police Minister Rene Hidding announced the government had drafted legislation to increase penalties for people convicted

of dangerous or negligent driving.

Under the draft bill, those charged with dangerous driving would have to front the Supreme Court instead of the Magistrates Court, with dangerous driving offences being moved from the Traffic Act to the Criminal Code Act. The maximum penalty for a dangerous driving conviction would be increased to 21 years. Harsher penalties for negligent driving would also be introduced.

Offenders who cause

death by negligent driving would face a maximum penalty of two years’ jail instead of one, while those found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm by negligent driving would face one year instead of six months.

The draft legislation comes in the wake of the June hitand-run death of Vanessa Hayward in New Town.

The Hodgman government also passed legislation earlier this year to introduce tougher police evasion laws, responding, in part, to the

death of Hobart mother Sarah Paino in 2016, who was killed by a teenage boy who was evading police in a stolen vehicle.

Police Association of Tasmania president Pat Allen said when vehicles were used in a dangerous or negligent fashion it was akin to wielding a knife.

He believed sentencing for dangerous and negligent driving would get “harder” if the proposed changes were to take effect. ”This shows the commu-

nity it’s [a] serious [offence],” Mr Allen said.

“If we save one or two lives, it’s all worth it.”

The parents of Natalia Pearn, who was killed on the Midland Highway in 2013 as a result of another person’s negligent driving, wrote to Premier Will Hodgman, Attorney-General Vanessa Goodwin and Labor justice spokeswoman Lara Giddings in February 2016, following Ms Paino’s death.

Kris and Alan Pearn called on the letter’s recipients to

take dangerous and negligent driving more “seriously”.

“Change will give us a little more peace,” they wrote.

The Pearns said that while nothing would bring their daughter back, changes to the law would offer some comfort.

“Victims’ families need to have faith that, when the perpetrator goes to court, the sentence will be appropriate and reflect the seriousness of the injury or death caused and not leave them feeling let down,” they wrote. subaru.com.au

Model predicts 50cm falls Chaser's predictions contradicts Bureau

BY HAYDEN JOHNSON AND LEAH MCBEY

TASMANIA’S high country could be covered in snow when a cold front crosses the state towards the end of the week – and a young storm chaser is predicting falls of 50 centimetres.

After the first weekend of skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing at Ben Lomond on Sunday, the summit could again see a dusting of snow later this week.

Mild temperatures are expected across the north of the state on Tuesday and Wednesday before a cold front moves in late.

Brisbane-based storm chaser Thomas Hinterdorfer predicts 49.3 centimetres of snow will fall at Cradle Mountain next week.

According to Mr Hinterdorfer’s modelling, Tasmania could be in for a serious snow dumping next week.

The young storm chaser, who will travel to Tasmania for the snow event, based his prediction on a weather system moving north from the Antarctica about Sunday.

“If anything, the models are showing it to be stronger,” he said.

“The temperatures were from minus five to minus seven, but are now in the minus six to minus nine range.

“Based on what I’ve seen on the models, there’s a big surge coming up from Antarctica that will last until Tuesday.

“From Sunday to Tuesday the models are showing snow in the 30-50 cm range over mountain and lakes in highland Tasmania,” he said, adding there could be up to 20 centimetres of snow to low levels.

But the storm chaser's joy was clouded by the Bureau of Meteorology’s modelling.

Bureau forecaster Matthew Thomas said about five centimetres of snow was expected to fall in the Cradle Mountain and Central Plateau areas on Thursday.

On Wednesday the snow level is expected to lower to about 400 metres in parts of the state late in the day.

On Thursday he said the coldest air would have arrived, and showers could bring snow in the central parts of Tasmania.

“It’s not going to be enormous amounts but there’s going to be some about,” he said.

DUSTING: Harper Lamprey, 3, plays in the white powder at Ben Lomond during her first trip to the snow on Saturday.

He expected the summit of Ben Lomond could see a dusting of snow but said there was not “terribly much expected in the North East”.

It is anticipated the snow

would dissipate on Friday and Saturday before it returns on Sunday.

Mr Thomas said the snow level could lower to 500 metres and again bring snow to

the Central Plateau and Cradle Valley areas.

“There will be a little bit about on Sunday and Monday, and some about Wednesday into Thursday

about Cradle Valley and the Central Plateau area,” he said.

Mr Thomas said there was “nothing at all unusual about these cold fronts”.

Chinese agricultural exports confidence 2018, with the effects to be felt across the globe.

Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association chief executive Peter Skillern said a slowing Chinese economy had to be put in perspective.

“In terms of the flow-on effect to the agriculture sector in Tasmania, we’re not likely to see a significant change,”

Mr Skillern said.

“The slow down from a Chinese preservative may be a slow down, but from the rest of the world’s perspective, it’s not at all.”

The report went on to find Tasmania’s tourism sector was benefiting from a lower Australian dollar and that jobs growth had increased.

But it also found “retail turnover has been consistently on a slowing trend for much of the past year”.

Tasmanian Small Business Council executive officer Robert Mallett said traditional business was changing as spending altered, but overall, things were looking up.

“It’s an odd situation –

confidence is high but, in fact, profitability is not great across the board,” he said.

“There are some things we’re tending to be making do with for longer and we’re spending our money on different things.”

Treasurer Peter Gutwein said that in terms of exports, China was important, but so

were other parts of the world.

“We’ve seen tremendous export growth increases to the United States and to parts of Europe as well,” he said.

“Our single largest export market will always be mainland Australia and we’re still seeing strong growth across mainland states.”

Gaming staff number debate Impact of phasing out pokies reported

BY MICHELLE WISBEY

Inside Out 4 Kids expands services EDUCATION CITY Mission’s support service for children who have suffered loss or are experiencing grief is going mobile, expanding services across the North and North-West of the state.

With support from the Community Support Levy

Charitable Organisations Grants Program, Inside Out 4 Kids counsellors now have a new Hyundai i30 to help their programs’ outreach.

Inside Out 4 Kids presently works in 20 local schools and recently opened its new Hub on Frederick Street.

“With a car dedicated to

the service it just means the service is a lot more responsive … over a wider geographic spread,” City Mission chief executive Stephen Brown said.

“We’ve had quite a bit of interest over the North-West coast now, so the next school we’re moving into is at Wes-

ley Vale and then we’re going further up … Burnie way.”

Mr Brown said there was a need in schools to have trained support staff for children who were dealing with trauma: a survey in 2016 showed 16 Northern schools have 200 students in need.

ANALYSTS say they have found inconsistencies in the reported number of Tasmanians employed in the gambling sector as they begin to probe the impact of phasing out poker machines.

The Gambling on the Future paper from The Australia Institute, released on Monday, questioned the number of people in the sector, saying Australian Bureau of Statistics data found the number employees sat at about 1500.

This compared to a 2015 social and economic impact study which said the number was more than 4000.

Australia Institute Tasmanian director Leanne Minshull found many businesses with a gaming licence said often their employees only work in gaming roles about 19 per cent of the time.

“It’s just the way that people are quoting their numbers that’s really led to this confusion,” Ms Minshull said.

“We want to provide as much of our analysis and research as we can so people in communities can make informed choices about the future of the industry.

“It’s the right time to look at what needs to be done in the future to make sure that we’re maximising the state economy and we’re minimising harm to people.”

But Treasurer Peter Gutwein said he had no reason to doubt the numbers pre-

viously given to the government through an ACIL Allen Consulting study.

“The Australia Institute report, as far as I’m concerned, reflects those that have driven the report,” he said.

“I feel very confident in the numbers that were provided by ACIL.” The paper also found the cost of poker machine-related problem gambling exceeded revenue from poker machine-related gambling taxes and fees.

Tasmanian author James Boyce, who released a book on the gaming industry in the state, said with many machines based in lower socioeconomic areas, spending was often high in disadvantaged communities.

“About $200 million is taken out of the Tasmanian economy every year and it's not from saving, we know that from the research, it’s from money that would be spent otherwise,” Boyce said.

“Other areas of expenditure employ far more people than poker machines.”

Greens leader Cassy O’Connor said the cost of poker machines outweighed the benefits.

“These numbers tell a devastatingly sad story of avoidable human suffering caused by the proliferation of pokies in pubs and clubs in Tasmania,” Ms O’Connor said.

“Poker machines claim lives and they steal money out of the pockets of some of our poorest people.”

MLC calls for review into fracking issue THERE are renewed calls for an inquiry into gas exploration in Tasmania as the federal government ramps up its calls for states to lift bans on the controversial energy.

Tasmania has a moratorium on gas exploration which is due to expire in 2020.

As the nation’s gas industry faces price increases and

challenges, Minister for the Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg called on states and territories to do more “to get more supply into the market”.

His comments follow those of Treasurer Scott Morrison who, in June, threatened governments with financial penalties – in-

cluding the review into GST – if they limit fracking or gas exploration.

When asked about Mr Morrison’s threat, Treasurer Peter Gutwein said; “we won't be blackmailed into being silenced on the GST”.

As the federal government steps up its rhetoric around gas exploration, Independ-

ent MLC Mike Gaffney called for the state government to hold an inquiry into fracking and other gas exploration.

He said the government should not “sit back on and wait” for the moratorium decision to roll around before reviewing the issue.

“It’s so we’re not left in a situation where we have to

rapidly rush around and find answers and look for reasons,” he said.

Mr Gaffney questioned the viability of gas exploration, classing Tasmania as a “small region”.

“I just believe there are other forms of energy we can explore that are more environmentally friendly,”

he said.

A spokeswoman for the government said there were “no plans” to reconsider the gas moratorium.

Mr Frydenberg said “national solutions are required to national problems” such as high gas and electricity prices.

DAMAGED: A Smithton house is likely to be demolished after fire ripped through it on Sunday night.

Smithton house fire bill totals $500,000 FIRE investigators believe a heater installed in 1982 caused a house fire in Smithton on Sunday night.

The fire broke out at the Cantara Road residence shortly after 6pm and was estimated to have caused $500,000 in damages.

The elderly owner of the remote property was listening to the football and making Anzac biscuits when he heard strange noises and discovered the blaze.

He was unable to call for help because his landline phone had been cut off.

The man ran to his neighbours to get help after his efforts to extinguish the fire with a hose were unsuccessful.

Six fire crews arrived on the scene shortly afterwards to find a large part of the house on fire, with flames

Crews battled the blaze for one hour before they were able to get it under control.

It was another two hours before the fire was extinguished.

Burnie station officer Wayne Viney was part of

the team investigating the fire’s cause.

Mr Viney said the owner of the house had maintained the heater responsible for the fire, but investigators uncovered “some damage to the fire box of the wood heating part of the furnace”.

Councils remain under review TWO municipalities in Tasmania’s south could continue without elected representatives, Local Government Minister Peter Gutwein said on Monday.

He is considering extending the Glenorchy City Council aldermen’s suspension for another six months.

In a letter to the aldermen, Mr Gutwein said he was not convinced it was in the community’s best interests to reinstate the council.

“I have received [correspondence] from members of the Glenorchy community who are concerned about restoring members of the council back to office before the Board of Inquiry report is finalised,” he said.

Meanwhile the commissioner for the Huon Valley Council, Adriana Taylor, has had her role extended for another 12 months.

She was appointed to restore stability to the municipality following a Board of Inquiry and the subsequent dismissal of the Huon Valley councillors.

“To provide a newly elected council with the best chance to succeed it is important that the new general manager and staff have the time to ensure that these new arrangements are embedded solidly into the culture of the council,” Mr Gutwein said.

HOT SUMMER: Human-induced climate change was almost certainly responsible for the heat waves experienced in the Tasman Sea. Source : UTas

Aquaculture exposed

BY TESS BRUNTON

MARINE heatwaves pose a significant threat to one of the state’s major industries.

Tasmania’s aquaculture industry, which is susceptible to marine heatwaves, is worth more than $730 million, according to Brand Tasmania.

A UTas study released on Monday found marine heatwaves experienced off Tasmania’s east coast in 2015/16 were almost certainly be-

cause of human-induced climate change.

Lead author Dr Eric Oliver said, “Significant impacts were felt across marine ecosystems, including an outbreak of Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome, enhanced mortality of blacklip abalone, poor performance of salmon aquaculture, and intrusions by fish normally seen in warmer, more northerly waters”.

There was an increasing probability of extreme events

in the future, he said.

Huon Aquaculture deputy chief executive officer Philip Wiese said the marine heatwaves meant there were “hard business decisions” made That included bringing forward salmon harvest to avoid negative effects on fish health and growth, he said.

“This adversely impacted Huon's profitability for the 2016 financial year, but was necessary in order to provide a solid platform for the fu-

ture,” Mr Wiese said.

However, selective breeding and fish nutrition programs were underway to mitigate the effects of marine heatwaves, he said.

Tassal Group corporate engagement senior manager Barbara McGregor said Tassal worked with an annual fluctuation in temperature of over 10 degrees Celsius and was “well positioned”. “[It] is well positioned through mitigation strategies and contingencies to cope

with temperature fluctuation and variation between farming zones, as well as vertical temperature stratification within the water column,” Ms McGregor said.

The business undertook a long term approach to climate change with research assessing broodstock, enabling the identification of naturally resilient fish best able to adapt to temperature conditions, she said.

The state government was contacted for comment.

Perth bypass design tick LOCAL GOVERNMENT

BY HOLLY MONERY

IF PLANS for the Perth Link Road upgrade were changed to add off and on ramps to Drummond Street the project would be set back by at least a year, require significant redesign and need more federal funds, the Northern Midlands Council has been told.

In a letter to the council, Infrastructure Minister Rene Hidding said he was considering suspending the devel-

opment application for the Midland Highway upgrade to clarify the council’s position.

In response the council voted to allow the development application to proceed as originally designed at its Monday meeting.

The current proposal will see Illawarra Road, which connects Perth and Longford, turned into a cul-de-sac on the eastern side.

In March the council asked the state government to maintain the Illawarra Road passageway due to

Illawarra Road

social connections and commercial advantages.

However, at June’s meeting councillors chose not to

support an additional single access road into West Perth from Illawarra Road.

An alternate motion for a two-way road was also lost, at a vote of four to four.

“While I accept that outcome resulted in the motion being lost, it is apparent that, with one councillor absent... council may well hold a majority preference for a totally different design to the design in our development application currently being assessed by your officers,” Mr Hidding said.

The council also agreed it was open to discussing changes to the date of Australia Day but would not support immediate lobbying for change.

All Tasmanian councils have been asked to decide whether to support the City of Hobart’s motion regarding Australia Day at next week’s Local Government Association of Tasmania meeting.

The motion before the meeting is “that LGAT be requested to lobby Tasmania’s 29 councils to consider ef-

forts they could take to lobby the federal government to change the date of recognition of Australia Day.” Northern Midland councillors agreed to move an amendment to Hobart’s motion, removing the words change the date and to instead ask LGAT to initiate discussions in relation to the date of Australia Day. “The very least we can do is help a discussion start that might make a difference,” Cr Mary Knowles said.

Stars bring smiles to children’s ward

SUPPORT: Tornadoes' Richard Dickel, Miliakere Koyamainavure and Jayde Brazendale meet with patients Ellie-May Orchard, 14, and Grace Orchard.

ON A gloomy Tasmanian day the smiles of children lit up the Launceston General Hospital after a visit from the city's basketball stars.

On Monday morning Bellamy’s Launceston Tornadoes coach Richard Dickel, import Miliakere Koyamainavure and centre, Jayde Brazendale, took gifts to the young patients.

Dickel and the team spent the morning talking with the children about their experiences in the hospital.

He hoped the visit from the city’s basketball team would “enlighten their day a little”.

“It’s something we should

be doing quite a lot because it’s getting into the community and getting the girls to realise that not everybody’s as lucky as they are at points in time, and inspiring people in different ways,” he said.

“It’s an incredibly lucky privilege to be able to come into a place like this and see these kids that aren’t as well off as we are.”

Dickel, who took over as head coach in May, said it was vital the team engage with the community.

“We've got to be out there and inspiring young people and getting inspired by people we see,” he said.

Wind farms to blow energy into Tassie Energy Minister Matthew Groom said support for renewable energy had been consistently strong for many years and “will be ongoing”.

On Friday, public consultation started for Low Head Wind Farm, which proposed a $50 to $60 million, 10-turbine wind farm to be built on coastal land between Low

Head and Beechford.

Founder and director Shane Bartel said the wind farm would be able to “piggy back” off the recently announced Wild Cattle Hill Wind Farm in the Central Highlands by utilising its large cranes, already in the area. If the project is approved by the end of the

year, building will start in the 2018/2019 summer.

The $300 million, 49-turbine Wild Cattle Hill Wind Farm is set to be completed by 2020, after it was announced last month.

A power purchase agreement between Westcoast Wind Pty Ltd and Hydro Tasmania was announced

late last month for the $280 million, 33-turbine Granville Harbour Wind Farm.

Mr Groom said, “We remain very confident of our future renewable development potential and that potential has been reinforced in recent weeks with significant further wind development announcements. We have

continued to advocate in support of policies that can further strengthen our reputation as a renewable energy powerhouse in response to the recent Finkel Review and in pursuing the Battery of the Nation initiative in partnership with the Commonwealth government”.

Aussie woman shot dead by cops in US THE shooting of an Australian woman by US police has raised serious concerns after it was revealed the officers didn’t have their body cameras turned on.

Justine Damond, believed to be aged in her 40s, was killed in Minneapolis about 11.30pm local time on Saturday after two officers responded to a report of a possible assault.

Ms Damond, originally from Sydney and also known as Justine Ruszczyk,

Her stepson Zach Damond, 22, said she called police after hearing a noise near their house in the suburb of Fulton.

“My mum was shot for reasons I don’t know,” Mr Damond said in a video posted on Facebook.

“I demand answers …

I’m so done with all this Justine Damond violence.

“I just know she heard a was a trained veterinarian who worked as a spir- sound in the alley so then itual healer and meditation she called the police and the cops showed up. teacher.

“She was a very passionate woman, she probably thought something bad was happening and then next thing I know they take my best friend’s life.”

Ms Damond ran her meditation workshops at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, which paid tribute in a Facebook post.

“We are so sad to report the tragic shooting of Justine Damond,” the community’s post said.

“Justine was one of the

most loving people you would ever meet. We can’t even imagine LHSC without her.”

Ms Damond, whose partner is Don Damond, 50, is believed to have been living in the US for at least the past three years.

Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges wants to know why the officers’ body cameras were off.

“I am heartsick and deeply disturbed by what happened,” she said.

Military to get power to help police in terror attacks MALCOLM Turnbull wants to make it easier for Australia’s military to help police deal with terrorist attacks.

The prime minister unveiled a raft of changes on Monday, including having special forces provide specialised training to local police officers.

“Our enemies are agile and innovative. We have to stay ahead of them,” Mr Turnbull told reporters at the Holsworthy Barracks in Sydney’s south-west.

Citing recent attacks in London, he insisted police will remain the first responders to any incident, but it was time to increase co-operation with the military.

Defence will offer soldiers for embedding within police forces to bolster engagement between authorities.

“We have to ensure that every resource we have – legislative, military, police, intelligence, security – is always at the highest stand-

ard and able to be brought to bear to keep Australians safe,” Mr Turnbull said.

The process involved in a military ‘call out’ to an incident will be streamlined,

including a provision that limits the states from asking for military assistance until their capability has been exceeded.

“If we are ever required

to be called out it … allows us to support them more quickly and in a better way,” defence force chief Mark Binskin said.

The changes come after

recent international terrorist attacks and follow a review into the deadly 2014 Lindt Cafe siege in Sydney.

Labor is expected to support the new measures.

Libs tell Turnbull, Abbott to stop spat SENIOR Liberals are at odds over the best way for Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott to sort out their differences, but agree infighting can only benefit Labor.

New Liberal Party president Nick Greiner has told the prime minister and his predecessor to “be adults” and resolve their differences face-to-face for the good of the party.

Mr Greiner plans to talk to Mr Abbott – who has publicly argued for policy changes on issues from immigration to climate change to win back conservative voter support for the Turnbull government – in coming weeks.

However, cabinet minister Arthur Sinodinos says there’s no need for a meeting between Mr Abbott and Mr Turnbull.

“There’s got to be less of this sort of talk now … our focus should be on what does the public want,” Senator Sinodinos told Sky News.

Liberal MP Craig Kelly said Mr Abbott’s interventions should be seen as positive for the party.

“We have to embrace differences of opinion – we have to say this is good and healthy,” he said.

Cabinet minister Michael Keenan declined to say whether a meeting would be useful, saying Mr Greiner was making an “obvious point” about the need to end internal bickering.

“If we’re talking about ourselves, if we’re talking about our disagreements, then we’re not really talking to the Australian people,” Mr Keenan said.

IN BRIEF WOMAN’S DEATH AT BUCK’S GOVERNMENT WANTS BANKS CYBER ATTACKS SERVE AS A OF ANY SIZE TO BE BANKS PARTY ‘NOT SUSPICIOUS’ WARNING, SAYS MINISTER THE identity of a woman found dead in a Melbourne hotel room after a buck’s party is still unknown, but police say her death is not suspicious.

The woman, aged in her 20s, was found dead in the Oaks on Market serviced apartments on Sunday morning.

“Police are not treating the death of a woman located in Melbourne’s CBD as suspicious,”

police said on Monday.

Four men visiting from interstate were taken into custody for questioning but were released later on Sunday night without charge.

The men, all aged in their late 20s and early 30s, travelled to Melbourne from the ACT and NSW for the Saturday night party.

The woman’s body was found in one of the their rooms.

ALL banks will be allowed to call themselves banks, no matter their size, under eased federal government rules to broaden competition.

TheTurnbull government has released draft legislation to allow any banking business with an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) licence to call itself a bank.

At present, only ADIs

with capital greater than $50 million are permitted to use the term “bank”.

“This acts to discourage innovative new players from entering the market,” Treasurer Scott Morrison and Financial Services Minister Kelly O’Dwyer said in a joint statement on Monday.

They hope the move will encourage more competition on loans and other financial products.

RECENT global ransomware attacks must act as a wake-up call for Australia as the digital economy grows, Justice Minister Michael Keenan says.

Speaking at an international conference on cybercrime, Mr Keenan says while the WannaCry incident in mid-May and the more recent Petya ransomware incident had not affected Australia greatly, they

should serve as a warning.

Mr Keenan told the conference the internet-based economy contributed $79 billion to the Australian economy in 2014 and that total is forecast to grow to $139 billion annually by 2020.

He says the international cyber attacks provide a reminder to all internet users to be vigilant about protecting themselves.

Gupta plans to spend $1b on upgrading steelworks Keenan BRITISH industrialist Sanjeev Gupta plans to invest $1 billion or more in Arrium’s Whyalla Steelworks to ensure its future viability.

Mr Gupta toured the SA facility on Monday and says the plant has the potential to be a world-class steel producer.

“We’re very excited about the journey ahead,” he said.

“The work ahead is a tall order, but one that we will definitely rise to.”

Mr Gupta heads up the GFG Alliance which has signed a binding agreement to buy the steelmaker, with the deal expected to be completed by August.

He says investment and growth in Whyalla will come in stages, but just the short to medium-term plans involved investment of more than $1 billion.

“There are longer-term plans which could be far more grand in terms of steel capacity,” Mr Gupta said.

Harrison has to pay Seven’s legal costs AMBER Harrison has been ordered to pay all Seven West Media’s legal costs after a judge found she made allegations she could not substantiate and acted unreasonably in her battle with the company.

The ex-lover of Seven boss Tim Worner faces a bill which could total hunAmber Harrison dreds of thousands of dollars after she was ordered “I’m not going to pay it,” to pay costs.

But Ms Harrison says she told the Nine Network.

“I can’t pay it. They knew she won’t cough up.

it would bankrupt me and the Supreme Court of NSW has helped them do it.”

Ms Harrison, a former Seven employee, had been embroiled in a bitter battle with the broadcaster since December, when she publicly revealed details of the affair and other confidential information.

Justice John Sackar said Ms Harrison decided to contest Seven’s claim and run a cross-claim “mounted on allegations she could

not substantiate”. She “continued to run this case in the face of adverse interlocutory findings, settlement offers, and a complete absence of evidence”, he said in his NSW Supreme Court judgment on Monday.

“This conduct is in my view unreasonable.”

Seven had sought a permanent gag order preventing Ms Harrison from detailing the affair or launching any legal proceedings. It contended that

her social media posts had breached her employment contract and a deed in which the company agreed to pay her $427,418 in instalments for her silence.

The judge said the proceedings had, from the outset, been engulfed in “a vitriolic atmosphere”.

“The allegations from both sides, whether entirely true or not, have often been personal, scandalous, and sadly ripe for media and public consumption.”

ABC radio breakfast host Red Symons is in a Melbourne hospital recovering from a fall.

The girl was aged 14 when the pair began communicating online in 2015. As the relationship continued, it’s alleged the man sexually assaulted the young girl at an oval in Hornsby Heights between February 2015 and January 2016.

Detectives on Monday released an image of the suspect. The 37-year-old man handed himself in to Chatswood Police Station about 3pm, a police spokeswoman said.

Detective Acting Superintendent Peter Yeomans earlier said the circumstances were “extremely traumatic”.

“A person who grooms young children online is what you’d describe as a predator,” he said.

VICTORIAN homeowners are being encouraged to stamp their valuables with a unique “synthetic DNA” as part of a sixmonth trial to deter crooks and make it easier to return stolen goods.

Residents of 1000 homes in Geelong and Whittlesea will be encouraged to mark their valuables – including technology equipment and jewellery – with the coded DNA liquid. If a

marked item is stolen and recovered police will be able to use an ultraviolet lamp to find the liquid, which will link the item back to its owner.

Victoria Police Assistant CommissionerTess Walsh said the technology is a deterrent to thieves.

“This pilot is an Australian first, however the technology has already been utilised by police in the UK and New Zealand,” she said.

WORLD

Jakarta’s Telegram ban ‘ineffective’ Jakarta INDONESIA’S move to block access to popular messaging service Telegram will do little to curb extremist activity, with hardliners already announcing it has encouraged them to “hold a dagger instead of a cellphone”, experts say.

Telegram had too much content promoting radicalism, extremism and “ha-

tred belief” and needed to be blocked to safeguard the “integrity” of the republic, Indonesia’s communication ministry announced on Friday.

The web version of the messaging service can no longer be accessed in the archipelago, with preparations to also shut down the application if the company does not prepare standard operating procedures, the government said.

But an analyst with the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) Nava Nuraniyah said it would create more challenges.

“If anything, it makes the extremists much more creative than before, they keep finding new platforms (to use),” she told a panel discussion at the Jakarta Foreign Correspondents Club on Monday.

Infiltration, she said, was more “realistic and ur-

gent”, and the government should aim to identify and map out ISIS networks on Telegram.

Once Telegram group, going by the name of PT Unikiller with the tagline “Killing the future”, stated the ban was a “warning/ whip” for them.

“So that we start to hold a dagger, bayonet, sword and revolver … instead of holding a cellphone,” it noted.

Woman killed trying to vote Caracas

CHAOS: An injured man is ferried to hospital after a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims crashed. Picture: AP

At least 16 dead as bus skids off mountain road Srinagar AT least 16 Hindu pilgrims were killed and 27 injured when the bus in which they were travelling skidded off a mountain road and fell into a 45-metre deep gorge in Indian Kashmir.

The bus was heading

towards Srinagar, the state capital, when it veered off the mountainous road in the Kashmir Valley.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter to express his condolences on the loss of lives.

Hundreds of thousands of Hindus visit the Amar-

nath cave deep in the Himalayas in the months of July and August every year.

Last week, seven Hindu pilgrims, most of them women, were killed in a gun battle that erupted in Indian Kashmir following two militant attacks on police, stoking outrage

and protests nationwide.

Both India and Pakistan claim control over the region of Kashmir in full, but they govern separate parts.

The two countries have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947 – two of them over Kashmir.

HUNDREDS of thousands of Venezuelans have lined up to vote in a symbolic rejection of President Nicolas Maduro’s plan to rewrite the constitution.

The unofficial referendum, in which at least one person has died, was organised by the political opposition.

A 61-year-old woman was killed and four people were wounded in shooting that erupted after government supporters swarmed an opposition polling site in the traditionally progovernment Catia neighbourhood of Caracas.

The chief prosecutor’s office said Xiomara Soledad Scott, a nurse,

was killed and three were wounded in the incident.

Earlier reports said at least two people had died.

“There was an incident in Catia a short while ago in which paramilitaries opened fire,” opposition spokesman Carlos Ocariz said.

Video posted online showed massive crowds outside the church, then hundreds of people running in panic as men on motorcycles zoomed past and shots rang out.

Mr Maduro made no mention of the incident in comments on state television shortly after the official close of the opposition poll, but called for an end to violence that he blamed on the opposition.

COMMENT

POPE’S VIEW

Medicare scare is just the tip of the data iceberg

DAVID DOWNIE

O

UR social services are organised by massive databases. Health, welfare, education and the pension all require reams of information about identity, social needs, eligibility, and entitlement. We should be thinking about these enormous data holdings when we read the news that thieves have been selling Medicare numbers linked to identities on the “dark web” – a mostly untraceable anonymous corner of the internet.

That last detail is what has made this such a scandal for the government, as Human Services Minister Alan Tudge and the AFP have scrambled to identity the systems’ weaknesses. But the fact that the Medicare numbers are being sold is the only thing that makes this an unusual data security breach.

Australian government databases are constantly being accessed by people who are not authorised to do so.

Governments manage a lot of data because we ask them to do it a lot. They run thousands of complex systems. Many of these systems have been jerry-rigged and adapted from earlier systems. But repeated episodes of unauthorised access show that these complex systems are in dire need of reform. It is clear that the “permission” structures on these government databases are deeply broken. Last week's Medicare breach has been made possible because thousands and thousands of people – bureaucrats, health professionals, and so on – can access the Medicare database. Government databases need to be restructured to prevent, not simply penalise, employees from going on fishing expeditions.

In the past, economic reform was targeted at big sectors like banking, telecommunications, and trade. As Australian governments evolve inevitably into complex information brokers, the next wave of reform will have to focus on data management.

Chris Berg is a postdoctoral fellow at RMIT University and Senior Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs.

Teamwork best outcome for TasWater A S PART of his campaign to takeover TasWater, Tasmanian Treasurer Peter Gutwein says the Commonwealth government will not provide any funding for water and sewerage infrastructure in this state while the corporation is owned by councils.

Yet there is a long history of the Australian government directing funding to councils for water and sewerage upgrades, through state governments.

In Tasmania, the Northern Midlands Council received more than $1 million in 2000/01 to upgrade the Campbelltown, Evandale, Perth and Cressy sewage treatment plants, and in 2008/9, the Clarence City Council received a $10.5 million grant from the Commonwealth for the Clarence Recycled Water Scheme in 2008-09.

Mr Gutwein says the Commonwealth will not provide any funding for TasWater under its current ownership structure and the concern is that he may well have done a deal with his federal counterpart to this end.

If that is the case, he has done a gross disservice to Tasmania and Tasmanians.

At the most recent federal election, the Labor Party offered $75 million to assist the upgrading of Tasmania’s water and sewerage

infrastructure.

Councils were also promised $400 million in federal funding at the outset of the reform process, however nothing was forthcoming.

There are precedents for Commonwealth funding and Mr Gutwein cannot claim that it won’t be provided now, unless he has told his federal colleagues to adopt this position for his own political purposes.

The state government is also able to provide funding, particularly where it wants to facilitate major developments such as the relocation of the Macquarie Point sewerage plant for its pet Mac Point development project, or the Cameron Bay plant to assist the proposed Museum of Old and New Art expansion.

There’s also Launceston’s historic combined water and sewerage system that requires major investment to avoid ongoing discharges into the Tamar River at times of high rainfall. All this can be achieved without the angst, agony, cost and legal doubt of the proposed takeover of TasWater.

TasWater is now part-way through a major 10-year infrastructure upgrade program that will elevate our water and sewerage services to relevant national health and environmental standards.

It is achieving this at a sustainable cost that fits within TasWater’s financial capacity, includes only modest price rises for consumers and provides a reasonable return on the investment councils have made in the corporation.

This, as well as the legal impediment to the proposed takeover, already widely canvassed, is reason enough for TasWater to remain under its current local government ownership.

Added to this is the strength of the experienced independent board of directors and expert management team and workforce, many of whom would be placed at risk by a state government takeover.

The best outcome for Tasmanians is for the three tiers of government to work together to continue the upgrading of Tasmania’s water and sewerage services, cost effectively and in a reasonable timeframe.

This is the course the state government should be adopting, rather than mounting its pointless takeover and continually attacking TasWater and its local government owners.

David Downie is the Mayor of the Northern Midlands Council and chief representative of TasWater’s owner councils.

Poker machine debate takes on two sides

A

NEW report has suggested that there are discrepancies around the economical impact if poker machines were to disappear from Tasmania.

Hobart-based The Australia Institute produced the report, in the midst of the state’s Tasmanian Joint Select Committee on Future Gaming Markets inquiry.

The institute suggests that the employment numbers relating to gambling lean more towards the 1500 jobs recently reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, as opposed to the 4000 detailed in state government reports.

The report goes on to argue that the cost of poker machine-related problem gambling sits far and above the revenues received from the machines – that’s $184 million (in 2011) versus $53.4 million (in 2016).

The government has refuted the report and its figures around employment, citing research and reports from a consulting firm in 2015.

It went on to brand the institute as Greens-leaning, in reference to the Greens’ long-held views that poker machines are detrimental to Tasmania and Tasmanians.

It is another case of pitting report against report; figures against figures.

The gambling industry, and pokies in particular, is such a multi-faceted beast in Tasmania, it is hard to know which set of eyes to stare into first.

If we are to make a decision on the future of the machines in Tasmania, we need to decide on which basis we are going to do it.

It could be a pure numbers-based decision, weighing up the cost of problem gambling on pokies, versus the revenue that

they feed into the economy.

But does that pay no heed to those people whose lives are devastatingly impacted by problem gambling that stems from pokies?

Would we then be taking the line of “for the greater good”, and placing the needs of many above the needs of the 0.5 per cent of adult Tasmanians who identified as problem gamblers?

Or, do we decide that the revenue is too much to pass up, taking into those employed in the industry who could be left jobless?

The decision around the future of poker machines in the state won’t be easy, and not everyone will be happy. It is a testament to our conscious as a community that we are pushing ahead with it regardless, through the joint select committee.

Hopefully the state as a whole comes out ahead.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

YOUR SAY

FIVE CENT COIN

GUN VIOLENCE

MALCOLM Scott suggests we should get rid of the five cent coin as they are a nuisance (The Examiner, July 5).

I am certain there are many who would disagree.

Sometimes we need to look past the economical view when evaluating the worth of an item.

Recently on local television, I saw a young child give a donation to a charity telethon that they saved by themself.

The donation was mainly five cent coins.

The size of the donation was irrelevant.

The lessons learnt by the child were invaluable.

The self-worth the child felt was immeasurable.

Whilst many people may consider the five cent coin a nuisance, I respectfully suggest it is a commodity that today still serves a purpose, albeit not to the same extent it once did.

I suspect once the five cent coins are removed from circulation people will start whingeing about the 10 cent coin.

Anthony Camino, Youngtown.

ACCORDING to the American Gun Violence Archive some 13,286 people were killed by firearms, with 26,819 injured, during 2015 (figures exclude suicide.)

It is estimated that there are 300 million guns held in homes throughout the US. Jack Sonneman argues that members of the National Rifle Association in the US have never shot nor caused any gun violence (The Examiner, June 30).

Leaving this ridiculous assertion aside, it’s worth noting that the NRA is most dangerous not for any violence its membership might cause, but for its consistent and powerful objection to gun reform, no matter how trivial that reform might be.

COAL TODD Hills (The Examiner, July 4) many countries smarter than ours and particularly India and China, are moving away as quickly as they can from energy through burning coal.

This will take time but they have realised that the future is in increased use of renewable energy.

There is no smart money being invested in building coal fired power stations. The reality in Australia is that several stations will close in the next few years .

The last station to come on line was over two decades ago. That we were going to reach this situation came as no surprise to anyone except our present government. So much for forward planning.

Looking ahead there could be a vital manufacturing industry in renewables. Plain

YOUR FIVE CENTS: Anthony Camino suggests we need to look past the face value of the five-cent coin.

old physics dictates that increase in renewable energy is the only way into the future as use of fossil fuels diminish. And the concept of "clean coal" beggars belief.

We have arrived at the present crisis because so many years have wasted in denial of the science of climate change and politicians on both sides unholy alliance with the mining and fossil fuel industries.

JUDICIARY SYSTEM THE RECENT contempt of court proceedings against three Coalition ministers has many people scratching their heads at the outcome.

The ministers involved were required to front the court and advise why they should not be held as being in contempt of the courts.

Instead the Solicitor General appears on their behalf and expresses regret for their comments, but no apologies.

One week later still being held in contempt they manage to grudgingly offer an apology which appears to have been accepted and the matter closed.

There is without doubt a serious breach of division between the state and the judiciary and yet it is swept under the carpet as though it was of no consequence.

FARM SAFETY WEEK ADVERTISING FEATURE

Keep kids safe, sound FARM life can be great fun and educational for children but parents and carers need to be mindful of the risks.

About 20 children aged under 15 years are killed on an Australian farm every year and many more are injured and treated in hospital or by general practitioners.

The major causes of child deaths and injuries on farms are dams, farm vehicles, machinery, motorcycles and horses.

Age and development characteristics also place children at greater risk.

A study of on-farm fatalities from 2001-2004 by the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety (ACAHS), based in Moree, NSW, found children under 14 years make up 15 to 20 per cent of farm injury deaths, and about 66pc are male.

The main agents of fatality and serious injury are drowning in dams (mostly under five year olds); quad bikes or four-wheeled motorbikes, and farm vehicles.

About one-quarter of all children who died were visitors to the farm, but for quad bikes, about half were

visitors. Drowning accounted for 35 to 40pc of child farm deaths, with farm dams being by far the most common site.

Toddler drowning on farms have reduced in recent years – particularly in dams, which have halved since the 1990s, but drowning is still the number one cause of child farm deaths.

ACAHS compiles data using the National Coronial Information System, which takes several years of investigation to release reliable data. Media reports from 2007 to mid-2010 suggest at least 10 more children have drowned on farms over that time. However, the media tended to under-estimate the true number of drowning in-

cidents on farms, an ACAHS spokesman said.

Major water safety agencies such as RLSSA, Kids Alive and Kidsafe recommend farms have a securely fenced house yard or “safe play area” with child-resistant gates and latches to prevent toddlers drowning on farms.

Ripper way to prevent injuries FARMSAFE Australia’s Child Safety on Farms Program runs the RIPPER II – Growing Kids On Farms initiative.

The program gives primary school teachers evidence-based safety content and learning activities linked to the curriculum of every state and territory.

RIPPER II gives teachers a background section highlighting injury causes and recommended interventions for child safety on farms.

The content is provided within the context of learning about farm life and farm environments.

It was launched in 2005 and since then, more than 2000 resource folders and nearly 4000 CD versions of the resource have been distributed to primary schools all over rural Australia.

Melbourne market rises despite rates MELBOURNE has overtaken Sydney as Australia’s hottest housing market, with prices rising 5 per cent over the past month despite increases in interestonly mortgage rates.

Home prices in the Victorian capital climbed 1.4 per cent for a third consecutive week in the seven days to July 16, data from property analytics firm CoreLogic show.

Sydney prices rose just 0.7 per cent in the past week, with monthly growth slowing from 3.4 per cent to 3.1 per cent.

Melbourne’s monthly growth accelerated from 4.3 per cent to 5 per cent in the same time despite lenders increasing interestonly mortgage rates in response to regulatory intervention designed to limit riskier lending and reduce risks arising from record household debt.

Home construction to ‘slow amid stupidity’ HOME building will further slow amid signs “gravity may soon start to catch up with stupidity” in the Australian property market, according to Deloitte.

The financial firm also believes the unprecedented scale of household debt due to low wage growth and elevated property prices means the Reserve Bank will be forced to resist global pressure to lift the cash rate for some time.

Deloitte Access Economics partner Chris Richardson building is set to shrink further amid increasing evidence gravity may soon start to catch up with stupidity in housing markets,” Deloitte Access Economics partner Chris Richardson said.

Property price growth in the two hottest markets of Sydney and Melbourne has started to slow, but values across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth have still risen by about 10 per cent over the

past year against the backdrop of a record-low cash rate of 1.5 per cent.

Mr Richardson said the Reserve Bank of Australia would start raising the cash rate some time next year, but that household debt would act as a brake on the pace of increases.

“Australia’s heavily indebted families are now the Reserve Bank’s problem, which is why, although interest rates will indeed rise in the next few years, they won’t rise sharply,” he said.

"When young people demonstrate their commitment to achieve, our club will always do its best to help them," she said.

Objections must be made as “strictly confidential”.

Objections should be sent to the Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission GPO Box 1372 Hobart or emailed to gaming@ treasury.tas.gov.au

WOOLMERS Bridge replacement has been listed as the Northern Midlands Council’s top priority project for the current financial year.

The bridge is “rapidly approaching the end of its useful service life”, the council’s general manager Des Jennings wrote in the July agenda.

The bridge could be completely closed by 2018 if it is not replaced.

“The bridge is subject to regular inspections following tomming [additional support] under some of the spans,” he said.

“The expected deterioration of the bridge has resulted in the imposition of a 12-tonne load limit.”

The council’s top five projects were listed in its July agenda.

The Perth Structure Plan is council's second priority.

“The Perth Link Road Project will see the Midland Highway divert heavy traffic away from the central business district of Perth … Stage two will being to impact on Perth by 2020,” Mr Jennings said.

“It is imperative that the recently completed Perth structure plan be implemented to ensure that the

town can grow.”

Campbell Town main street and urban design and traffic management strategy was also listed as a council priority.

Mr Jennings said the project had the potential to create significant economic benefits for the town.

“The town’s main street is in dire need of a makeover to capitalise on existing assets, improve urban design and landscaping, and to address traffic management and pedestrian safety concerns,” he said.

Mr Jennings said rejuvenating the town’s main street would entice travellers to spend longer in the town.

The TRANSlink Precinct Renewal Project’s stormwater was rated as priority number four as the council identified it as a growing industrial hub. The precinct is opposite the Launceston Airport.

“The precinct is a key economic driver and an important linkage point for freight, business and industry across the state,” he said.

An Evandale Road update came in at number five for the council. While this is not a council-owned road, it has been identified as a priority because it is the “gateway” to Northern Tasmania.

Grants benefit Meander region

BY TARLIA JORDAN

MORE than $75,000 will be given back to the Meander Valley region this financial year in community grants.

With four grant rounds each year, council aims to balance the funds at about $18,800 a quarter.

Meander Valley’s community grants committee recommended 10 applications worth more than $20,000, which council endorsed at its July meeting.

This will leave less cash for the next round of grants.

More than $56,000 worth of grants was received by the council in total.

Councillor Ian Mackenzie was on the committee, and said they believed they had the donation allocations right.

“The applications were significant. It’s great to see near $24,000 coming back into the community,” Cr MacKenzie said.

Councillor Michael Kelly said it was a “good day for Westbury”, which received more than half of the funds.

Westbury Rotary Club received $3000 for safety upgrades to its food van. The club requested more than $8000.

Westbury Primary School’s parents and friends

association received nearly $3000 for the Westbury Maypole Festival, and the town’s cricket club was allocated $2600 for a storage container.

Meander Valley Suns applied for more than $5500 for match day footballs and received a grant of $2070.

Mole Creek Progress Association received $2000 for the town’s community garden. Deloraine House and Goodstart Learning received the same amount for its community gardens.

Darts Tasmania applied for $7150 for junior nationals, and was allocated $1850.

Deloraine Golf Club received $1000 to renovate its greens and Prospect Combined Probus Club also received $1000 to subsidise cultural trips, against the $2800-plus it applied for.

Three applications did not receive funding.

Prospect Hawks’ request for kitchen equipment was refused because the club has not acquitted a previous agreement.

Kimberley Progress Association requested $2565 for recreation ground toilets, but the council refused the application because of environmental health concerns for temporary toilets. LINC and Mole Creek Primary School applied for $2100.

A MOTION to fly the Aboriginal flag at the Break O’Day Council chambers failed at Monday’s meeting.

Councillor Kylie Wright moved the motion that asked the council to fly the Aboriginal flag at the council chambers at St Helens on week days.

The flag would be flown alongside the Australian flag.

“As an inclusive community, and in light of the recent NAIDOC week celebrations, I think it is very fitting that this subject be raised,” Cr Wright said.

“I have consulted with Aboriginal elders of our community who have responded very much in favour of council daily flying the Aboriginal flag, as Tasmania has such a diverse history regarding our Aboriginal people.”

Cr Wright said she had been approached by some Aboriginal people in the community about flying the flag.

“We’re trying to build relationships with the Aboriginal community and I think this would be a great thing for us to consider,” she said.

Councillor Hannah Rubenach seconded the motion, and said she had also been approached by Ab-

original people in the Break O’Day community.

Cr Rubenach said similar motions had been to council before, but had failed.

She said flying the flag was a good way to represent inclusion.

“It’s time and we need to reconsider this. We’re trying to build that relationship,” she said.

“This is one way to get [Aboriginal people] recognised in our community.”

Councillor John McGiveron said it was important to recognise it, but suggested flying the flag on “special occasions”.

He said flying the flag on these occasions would make people recognise when something was happening.

“For special occasions it’s really good, but not everyday,” Cr McGiveron said.

Cr Wright said “every day was a special occasion” especially because the council flies the Australian flag daily.

Cr Wright and Cr Rubenach were the only two people who voted for the motion.

The Break O’Day Council flew an Aboriginal flag, along side the Australian flag, during NAIDOC week.

Councillors Margaret Osborne and Janet Drummond did not attend the meeting.

Dragon centre tender received DORSET Council has accepted a tender for the Tin Dragon Interpretation Centre at Derby.

Mayor Greg Howard said a motion passed at a closed council session “a couple of months ago”.

Cr Howard said he was unable to release any more information until the contract was signed.

“I can’t release the details because we haven’t signed the contract and the people who have bought it don’t want the details released until the contract is signed,” he said.

“It’s with their lawyers at the moment. I can’t say if it will remain an interpretation centre.”

Cr Howard said all tenders received were from Tasmania.

“We’re hoping to get it done as soon as possible so we can get things started,” he said.

Cr Howard said there had been “a few hold ups”.

“We have to make a few things happen first. The whole site is declared a heritage site because at the moment it is all on the one title and that includes the old school house museum,” he said.

“We would cut that off and keep that as the heritage site, because I think (the school is) genuinely the only heritage part of the site.”

Cr Howard said the council was losing about $200,000 a year before the centre was leased.

“When we leased the cafe and the interpretation centre it cut out the majority of our losses,” he said.

“It’s not the sort of business that we think we should be in and that’s why we put it up for sale.”

Cr Howard said he would like to see the site developed to cater for some of the things missing from Derby.

“From a tourist point of view at the moment, Derby is missing some more upmarket accommodation,” he said.

“What we found from the Enduro World Series was that a lot of the visitors are willing to pay for more expensive accommodation than is fully catered for.”

The centre was announced in 2004 and was planned to include a history trail which started in Launceston. It was meant to celebrate the Chinese influence of tin mining in the North-East. The trail was expected to cost about $3 million, however the other parts were never built.

Children aged 10 to 16 are invited to a four-hour clinic working on their footy skills and knowledge.

Northern Bombers and Launceston Blues senior players will attend the clinic onThursday, July 20 from 9.30am and finishes at 2pm.

The clinic costs $50 and includes lunch, snacks and drinks.To book, visit www. trybooking.com/297551.

The council is working to find a temporary location for a park in the town. Mr Vos said there was a proposed site, but neighbours “protested strongly� against it.

Mr Vos said the council

planned to work with the region’s youth group about where the temporary park should be built. He said the council will ask if a skate park is still a priority for youth in Legana.

DEVIOT CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN WINTER A VISIT from Santa is a must at Deviot Community Association’s Christmas in Winter.

A three-course dinner with all the Christmas favourites will make this night just as “well attended� as previous events. “It’s a great way to spend

a winter’s night in cosy warmth and good cheer,�

Organisers said.

Seats are limited, to book contact Kaye on 6394 3936.

The BYO event is being held on July 29 at 6.30pm.

Tickets are $45 per person.

Attendees are asked to bring a $5 Secret Santa gift.

A TAMAR River foreshore walkway is one step closer after a grant was given to the Legana Community Group.

A design and feasibility study will be undertaken after the state government gave an $11,800 Community Infrastructure Grant to the group.

The study will consider the general layout of the walkway, lookouts, elevated sections, the number of stairs and a possible nine-metrelong bridge design.

Group member Jim Collier said plans were still in their infancy. “It will eventually be part of the overall Legana structure plan which shows a shared pathway virtually circum-navigating the whole of new Legana,� Mr Collier said. “It’s a path along the river foreshore of Legana between Tanner Drive and Jetty Road.

It would have a resting place and a picnic spot about halfway along so that people can sit and have a break.�

Mr Collier said the two-kilometre return walk would suit everyone in the community. “We anticipate having to do a field survey and report for the flora and fauna, a possible marine and ecology re-

port as well as an Aboriginal heritage assessment. There may well be other reports defined by [Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment],� he said.

The project is expected to cost about $1 million, with the feasibility study expected to be complete by September.

Mr Collier said the group hadn’t received any negative feedback about the project, despite the idea being circulated to about 1500 houses in the area with the original Legana Structure Plans about three years ago.

In a letter to Mr Collier in 2016, West Tamar Council community service manager Michele Gibbins said the council supported the project. “Your proposal to design a rivertrail for shared pedestrian and cyclist use will provide the community with a safe place to be active within the Legana area,� she said. “Council is very supportive of your objective to encourage pedestrian and cycle participation, this objective aligns with council’s Legana Structure Plan to develop an extensive shared pathway system to link the major open space areas to the residential precinct and village centre.�

Aussie blames toilet stop for stage disappointment CYCLING

Michael Matthews

MICHAEL Matthews believes the call of nature may have prevented him from claiming a second-straight Tour de France stage victory.

The Australian sprint star was in a 28-man breakaway group with fewer than 40km to go in Sunday’s 15th stage when he succumbed to the urge to urinate.

“I really think I had the legs to win today … I think it cost me the win,” Matthews told News Corp Australia. “When you’re in the breakaway, it’s hard to stop for a nature break because there’s so many people on the side of the road.

“You can’t do it while you’re riding.

“I was really busting the whole race and the only

time I could really find to stop and have a p--- was on the climb.”

Matthews won the intermediate sprint to claim a maximum 20 points during the stage between Laissac-Severac l’Eglise and Le Puy-en-Velay.

But it wasn’t enough to claim the lead sprinter’s green jersey from Marcel Kittel, although he did cut

the German’s points classification lead from 99 to 79.

Failing to win the stage cost Matthews 30 points.

Chris Froome retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey on Sunday, while Dutchman Bauke Mollema won the 189.5km-stage A day earlier, Team Sunweb’s Matthews burst clear for his first stage win of this year’s Tour.

Family man Federer considered retiring TENNIS ROGER Federer has revealed hiking in the Swiss alps with his family – rather than any obsession to return to his record-setting ways – was the inspiration behind his extraordinary renaissance.

Federer’s unprecedented eighth Wimbledon men’s singles triumph and unmatched 19th career major confirmed the tennis wizard’s place alongside the likes of Pele, Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Michael Jordan and Usain Bolt as arguably the greatest athlete of all-time.

But, wanting no part in any such discussion, the humble Swiss insisted it was his love of his family that continues to drive his competitive spirit at almost 36.

Moments after his triumph, Federer wept after learning his two three-yearold sons Leo and Lennart had unexpectedly been courtside alongside fellow identical twins, seven-yearold daughters Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, and his wife Mirka, mother Lynette,

LEGEND: Roger Federer with his eighth Wimbledon trophy. Picture: Kyodo father Robert and sister Diana.

“It was unreal to have a moment like this because I know maybe this moment will never come back for us,” Federer said following his 6-3 6-1 6-4 win over Marin Cilic.

“They (the boys) think it’s probably a nice view and a nice playground – but it’s not and hopefully one day they’ll understand.

“The girls understand the difference between practice and a match and between the first round and the fi-

IN BRIEF ROAR SIGN ITALIAN MARQUEE MACCARONE

Massimo Maccarone

27

BRISBANE Roar’s search for a marquee frontman is over with veteran Italian Massimo Maccarone joining the A-League club on a one-year deal.

Coach John Aloisi confirmed Maccarone had accepted an offer from the Roar and was expected to arrive in Australia in the coming days to meet his new teammates.

“Massimo’s excited to be joining us,” Aloisi told News Corp. “Massimo not only makes great forward runs but he also

links up with players around him very well.”

The signing continues Brisbane’s attacking overhaul after the departures of Jamie Maclaren, Brandon Borrello,Thomas Broich andTommy Oar. Maccarone, a two-time Italian international, will be 38 by the time the new A-League season begins but is coming off a reasonably strong Serie A campaign for Empoli, scoring five goals in 28 games.

nals, so I was happy that they were there and were so excited when I won.”

The now 19-time grand slam champion admitted he toyed with retirement after limping out of Wimbledon last year after re-injuring his surgically

repaired knee during his five-set semi-final loss to Milos Raonic.

But time out offered Federer new-found perspective.

“With my kids, my girls, I had the best time,” he recalled.

“Good weather last year in summer, after Wimbledon last year after, this time around.

“The good thing was actually I didn’t have to have surgery. I was most scared to have a second surgery and that really would have scared me and really made me maybe believe that this was the final straw now.

“But because I didn’t have to have surgery, I could walk. I just couldn’t play five-set matches on a regular basis. I couldn’t play five days in a row.

“So that was my problem really. So it was really my last five per cent missing but, because of it, I always got swollen knees.

“But hiking, and doing all of these normal things with my kids, I could actually do them all.”

Pay dispute could shade women’s World Cup CRICKET THE clock is still ticking in Australian cricket’s pay stoush, with the sport risking further damage if peace is not brokered this week.

Monday brought no progress in protracted pay talks. The next round of meetings between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers’ Association is now expected to take place on Wednesday.

Australia face India in their women’s World Cup semi-final on Thursday, with the tournament decider to come at Lord’s on Sunday.

There is every chance Australia will lift the trophy.

The defending champions dropped only one game in the pool stage and remain title favourites.

There is also every chance a ticker-tape parade upon returning home would be a celebration for unemployed players. It would arguably be the most unedifying chapter of the saga yet.

Louise Evans, who sits on the board of advocacy group Women Sport Australia, described it as a “laughable” scenario.

“Cricket Australia has done a fantastic job in being a frontrunner in paying elite female cricketers a living wage,” Evans said.

“But if the team comes home, they’re unemployed … then they’re going to undo all that fantastic work.

“If it comes to that, what a ridiculous thing for Cricket Australia to allow to happen.”

Evans added it would result in “seismic damage” to the sport.

HAMILTON WINS BRITISH GP, RICCIARDO FIFTH

Lewis Hamilton

LEWIS Hamilton of Mercedes won the Formula One British Grand Prix for a recordequalling fifth time on Sunday and closed to within one point of Ferrari championship leader Sebastian Vettel.

Hamilton easily converted his 67th career pole position into a 57th victory as Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo powered his way through the field to finish fifth after starting from 19th on the grid.

Ricciardo went into

the race with a five-place grid penalty because he changed the gearbox on his Red Bull.

Chasing a sixth-straight podium finish, Ricciardo’s Silverstone issues were further compounded when his car suffered a suspected turbo failure during qualifying.

“I just felt like the whole race I was overtaking cars and I hope the fans enjoyed it,” Ricciardo said.

“It was great fun coming back through the field and I gave it everything.”

Filly will have another dip RACING

BY GREG MANSFIELD

STAR Tasmanian filly Hot Dipped will be given another chance to win her first race in Melbourne after going agonisingly close at Caulfield on Saturday.

Hot Dipped was beaten by a nose in the $100,000 Henry Dwyer Racing Handicap, ironically going down to another Tasmanian-bred filly, Moonlites Choice.

Trainer Brendan McShane will stick to his plan to bring Hot Dipped home on Tuesday night but, all going well, she will return to Victoria in four weeks.

McShane is hoping a change of venue will bring a change of luck, as he has selected a 1400-metre benchmark 84 mares’ race at Flemington.

“It will be nice to see her at another track where we’ll get the chance to ride her patiently,” the trainer said.

“She ran well against the boys at Flemington as a twoyear-old (finishing fifth in the VRC Sires Produce).”

McShane said he took no negatives out of Hot

“I thought it was a good ride (by apprentice Brandon Stockdale) and a good effort by the filly in a fast-run race,”

Dangerfield laughs off Cornes’ injury barb CATS

Patrick Dangerfield

ANOTHER week, another Kane Cornes AFL hand grenade.

Patrick Dangerfield has laughed off Cornes’ claim that the Geelong star carries on about injuries.

Dangerfield injured an ankle early in Saturday’s blockbuster against Hawthorn, but he became the hero.

Geelong played him deep as a one-out forward and he proved the matchwinner, kicking 5.6.

But the following day, Cornes claimed when Dangerfield played for Adelaide, teammates told him to stop talking up injury problems.

“I didn’t have that conversation, so maybe Kane should do a little bit more research next

time,” Dangerfield told KIIS.FM. There is local context to the Cornes barb, given his long playing career at the Crows’ hated local rivals Port Adelaide.

“It’s great we have someone from the Crows’ inner sanctum – no-one is as welcome as Kane Cornes in the Adelaide changerooms,” Dangerfield said, sarcastically.

“I can only laugh at Kane, I don’t think I need to reference his career at times.

“I don’t take it hard … it makes for certainly entertaining TV.” Last week, Cornes had his old Port Adelaide premiership teammate Damien Hardwick fuming.

The Richmond coach disparaged Cornes’ for writing “s--- comments”.

Dusty’s Brownlow hopes still alive TIGERS

DUSTIN Martin remains eligible to win the Brownlow Medal after avoiding suspension for striking Brisbane’s Nick Robertson.

But the Tigers superstar must walk a tightrope for the remainder of the season after the match review panel handed him two fines for separate incidents in Sunday’s game against Brisbane.

A third low-level offence would trigger a one-game suspension, leaving the offcontract Martin ineligible to win his first Brownlow.

Fyfe re-signs with Freo for six years DOCKERS FREMANTLE captain Nat Fyfe insists he never seriously considered leaving the Dockers, and he’s optimistic he will be part of the club’s first premiership.

Fyfe ended months of speculation on Monday by re-signing with the Dockers until the end of 2023.

The six-year deal is the longest contract extension in Fremantle’s history, and is believed to be worth about $1.2 million a season.

Fyfe, as a restricted free agent, could have earned far more on the open market.

And the 2015 Brownlow medallist could have even pushed for a bigger deal at the Dockers, according to his manager Jason Dover.

But Fyfe accepted less money at the Dockers in order to leave the club with enough salary cap room to buld a squad capable of winning a flag.

Fyfe’s re-signing means the attention will now intensify on out-of-contract Richmond star Dustin Martin.

IN BRIEF SLOANE HAS UNTIL GAME DAY TO PROVE HE’S OK COLLINGWOOD SKIPPER GOES UNDER THE KNIFE

Rory Sloane

ADELAIDE could delay a decision on star onballer Rory Sloane’s fitness until the day of their looming blockbuster against Geelong.

Sloane was concussed during the Crows’ win against Melbourne and is in doubt for Friday night’s top-of-the-table clash.

Sloane will undergo concussion tests throughout the week and Adelaide assistant coach James Podsiadly said a final test could be held on Friday morning.

“When you get concussed there is always doubt,” Podsiadly said on Monday.

“Our medical staff are pretty good at going through the protocol and if he gets through that and they’re confident, we will play him.”

The ladder-leading Crows were also sweating on results of scans on Monday on the injured left hamstring of defender Jake Lever, who missed the start of the season because of a similar injury.

Scott Pendlebury

SCOTT Pendlebury’s broken finger could be a major blow for Collingwood and coach Nathan Buckley as they aim for a strong finish to the AFL season.

The Magpies captain was due to undergo surgery on Monday to have a pin inserted in the finger after suffering the injury in Saturday night’s win over Gold Coast.

Pendlebury will not know until after the operation how long he will be out, although

he probably will miss Sunday’s Etihad Stadium game against West Coast.

But it could be multiple weeks and there is speculation that the injury could end the star midfielder’s season.

“If it’s two, three, four, five weeks, whatever it is, I will just go about the (recovery) process,” Pendlebury said.

The weekend’s win meant there has been an easing of the rampant speculation about Buckley’s future.

Port expect Ryder to overcome injury Shuey: POWER PORT Adelaide expect influential ruckman Paddy Ryder to overcome an ankle injury in time for Saturday’s AFL game against Melbourne.

The Power are also bullish about defender Matthew Broadbent being cleared to return from his ankle injury.

Broadbent’s comeback after two games out would leave the fourth-placed Power with no players on their injured list.

Ryder hurt his right ankle in a marking contest during Port’s 70-point win against North Melbourne last Saturday.

“I have spoken to him this morning and he’s pretty positive so I would imagine he would be ready to go,” Port assistant coach Michael Voss said on Monday.

“It will be a good battle because he’s up against a fairly handy ruckman in

(Melbourne’s Max) Gawn, who gives them first use, and Paddy’s been in wonderful form throughout the whole year.”

Voss said Ryder was unlikely to train until Thursday ahead of the MCG encounter against the seventh-placed Demons.

“We will give him every opportunity. By Thursday, he will be on the park and have a bit of a kick around and see how he’s going,” Voss said.

“He has had such a huge workload this year that missing a training session at this time of the year isn’t such a bad thing.”

Broadbent has missed three of the past four games, including the last two, because of an ankle strain.

“He should be available,” Voss said.

“He is one of those ones that has had a slow buildup, a bit of a hiccup, but we think he will be right later in the week.”

AFL yet to talk finals with ANZ Stadium FINALS THE AFL and ANZ Stadium are yet to discuss the looming possibility of GWS hosting Sydney in this year’s finals.

The Swans’ barnstorming form is raising the prospect of the two teams clashing in September, with the Giants as the home team.

Spotless Stadium only has a capacity of 24,000 and the two Sydney teams attracted a crowd of 60,000

at ANZ Stadium last year when they met in a final for the first time.

The AFL no longer has a contract with ANZ Stadium and ground management have confirmed they have had no talks with the league about this year’s finals.

For now, the AFL’s official line is that the Giants have one home venue – Spotless Stadium.

“At the moment we don’t have a contract anywhere else,” a spokesman said.

In February, AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan raised the prospect, however remote, of returning to ANZ Stadium should the two Sydney teams meet again in the finals.

“The fact that there were more than 60,000 people there at the qualifying finals shows how much demand there is and if we played it at another venue we would have locked out a lot of people,” McLachlan said.

GWS are third, two games and percentage ahead of sixth-placed Sydney with six rounds left.

Given this season’s extraordinary twists and turns, it is even possible that the Swans could finish above the Giants and save the AFL potential blushes.

If Sydney are the home team, the game would be played at the SCG which holds a capacity of just over 42,000.

GWS did not sell out their only Spotless Stadium final, last year’s preliminary final loss to the Western Bulldogs.

The growing prospect of a GWS-Sydney final comes as Geelong continue to lobby for a home final at the redeveloped Simonds Stadium.

The Cats have no guarantees yet from the AFL that they would host a nonVictorian team at their home ground in September.

Eagles’ future is bright EAGLES WEST Coast veteran Luke Shuey is confident the club possess enough talented youth to ensure the ageing squad will thrive in future years.

The Eagles entered this season with the oldest squad in the AFL, headed by 34-year-old recruits Sam Mitchell and Drew Petrie.

Despite boasting so much the experience, Eagles face a massive battle to lock down a top-four berth, and are still no guarantee to even play finals. inconsistencies Their have led some experts to question why the Eagles are playing so many veterans.

But Shuey insisted there was enough young talent being given a go.

He said the likes of Dom Sheed, Tom Barrass, Jackson Nelson, Tom Cole, and Liam Duggan were examples of the next wave of players coming through the ranks.

The Eagles also have high hopes for the likes of Malcolm Karpany, Kurt Mutimer, Luke Partington, Daniel Venables, and Willie Rioli.

“Some of our young kids have progressed really well over the last couple of years, and this year especially,” Shuey said.

“Liam Duggan had probably his best game for the club yesterday. Dom Sheed put in another terrific performance.

“There are a big list of young players – first to fourth year – who have played really well at times.

And they’re going to be carrying this club for the next 10 years or so.”

Stringer injury opens door for Cloke BULLDOGS

IN THE MIX: BulldogTravis Cloke. Picture: AAP

TRAVIS Cloke could be set for an AFL return as the Western Bulldogs look to replace injured forward Jake Stringer.

The 23-year-old Stringer will be sidelined for up to three weeks after straining his hamstring during Sunday’s 20-point win over Carlton at the MCG. Stringer left the ground minutes into the second quarter and sat out the rest of the game with his left leg iced as the Bulldogs went

on to claim a 12.10 (82) to 9.8 (62) win.

“We’ve assessed Jake today and can confirm he does have a hamstring strain,” Bulldogs physiotherapist Chris Bell said on Monday.

“We’re going to put a structure around Jake but at this stage, we imagine he will miss the next two to three games of football.”

The Bulldogs face Gold Coast in Cairns on Saturday, with veteran defender Matthew Boyd a chance to return from an achilles injury.

Stringer’s absence could pave the way for Cloke to play his first game of senior football in more than a month.

The former Collingwood spearhead played his second straight game in the VFL on Saturday night after taking time off last month to deal with mental health issues.

“Travis played pretty well,” coach Luke Beveridge said on Sunday.

“He’s two games back now and he seemed to enjoy last night. He’ll be an-

other player that we’ll consider.”

Premiership forward Tory Dickson is also in the mix after the Dogs struggled for efficiency inside-50 against Carlton.

“I thought he played really well last night with some of his spark and spunk back,” Beveridge said.

Young ruckman Tom Campbell (abdominal strain) and midfielder Josh Dunkley (shoulder) have returned to training, with Campbell likely to return in coming weeks.

The family club bares its new feminine side AFL IN LAUNCESTON

BY ANDREW MATHIESON REWARDS: All-Australian Tassie pair Mia King and Daria Bannister celebrate.

Footy’s friends among the elite FOOTBALL STRONG national carnivals for Daria Bannister and Mia King has earned the Launceston pair landmark All-Australian selections.

Starring for the Allies at the AFLW under-18 national championships, Bannister, who plays for Launceston’s TSLW club, and King, for TWL North side East Launceston, both had been announced in the team for the first time over the weekend.

Bannister is already listed in the North Melbourne AFL women’s academy in the hope of debuting with the Kangaroos shall the club be granted an AFLW licence for the 2019 competition.

King’s story is even more remarkable playing at her first-ever carnival for the undefeated Allies side.

The 16-year-old’s shock selection ensured she was one of the youngest players named All-Australian and is eligible for the under-18 carnival for a further two years.

King joined Bannister at AFL Tasmania women’s testing session at the Silverdome last December to start out her football dream.

HAWK EYE: New Hawthorn chief executive Tracey Gaudry gazes across the views inside UTas Stadium during her first official club visit to Launceston. Picture: Scott Gelston

IT’S not lost on Hawks boss Tracey Gaudry for a moment that she’s the first female in charge of an AFL club in the exclusively male domain.

The confident 48-year-old could be labeled a pioneer for women in sport, not just for multiple national titles on the bike where she reached world number three amid several famed tour wins.

No other female before had reigned as CEO of the Amy Gillett Foundation, the head of the Oceania Cycling Confederation (OCC) and vice president of the UCI, the powerful international body that governs cycling.

This all coming from a woman on her appointment two months back that spent an hour or so with Alastair Clarkson “around my kitchen table” – of all places – to convince the coach’s place was to stay at Hawthorn.

But should the straight talker’s methods be believed, the club has a open-and-shut case to supply one of the next AFLW licences that will call on Tasmanian women’s help.

“Our strategy in regards to women’s football has been to build from grassroots up, so our strategy this year was to first build a VFL women’s team and to enter into the next round of expansion for AFL women,” Gaudry said.

“Fundamental to our submission is a commitment to be playing at least one of our home games at UTas Stadium for a start, and to be leveraging our community engagement throughout the state to encourage women and girls to play football.

“While we have the great membership of any club,

more importantly we have the greatest number of female members of any club, so our ability to reach out and encourage participation is very strong.”

When stepping into the club headquarters, the luminary figures of Michael Tuck, Leigh Matthews and John Kennedy stand ominously in portraits behind her.

It’s a timely reminder of family club’s values – but one that until her arrival almost excluded women’s roles to the point her male predecessors snubbed the inaugural AFLW competition.

“I’ve come on board at a pivotal time for a great footy club,” she reminds herself.

Now the Hawks want to tap into female talent in Tasmania to put a chink in North Melbourne’s armour of exclusivity from its women's academy into the state.

It’s a push that Gaudry has driven from the fateful day she first saw the images of the family club on the wall.

“Tasmania will become a part of not only our participation call, but of our feeder system of players for our list management for our future team,” Gaudry said.

“From a personal perspective as a female for whom sport has become a wonderful enabler, the involvement of more females in sport, whether not they make it through to an elite level, is such a strong determinant for their self-confidence, their mindset, their future education as sport is a great enabler for society.

“So if football can play a role in encouraging more women to take up the sport and that Hawthorn facilitates participation, we’ll achieve great societal outcomes.”

Riders ready for interschools challenge EQUESTRIAN FIVE riders have been named

by Equestrian Tasmania for the interschools national championships, to be held in Toowoomba in September.

Riders making the trip to Queensland will compete against fellow students from primary and secondary schools across the nation.

Year 12 Launceston College student Sam Bessell, of Scottsdale, has been named captain, and is set to compete in the secondary 100cm showjumping and the secondary 95cm combined training.

Grade 7 Ulverstone rider Jordan Gale will compete in both secondary preliminary and novice dressage.

Hobart rider Chloe Daun will compete in the primary 80cm showjumping and the same class in the combined training.

They will be joined by Alanah and Laura Monty, also of Hobart, both competing in the secondary 90cm show jumping.

Due to the distance, all riders will be competing on borrowed horses from Queensland – a challenge for them to adjust and compete

successfully.

Team manager Jamie Buckby said a sixth rider will potentially join the team: all riders are responsible for their own sponsorship for the competition and loan of their horse.

Bessell, Gale and Alanah and Laura all competed in the 2016 Interschools nationals at Sydney’s Homebush Olympic equestrian venue, as part of a larger team of nine riders.

Gale successfully took out 6th overall in the preliminary dressage last year.

Brown, Riewoldt on the attacking front TASMANIANS IN THE AFL

BY ALEX FAIR

BEN Brown’s form resurgence continued on Saturday as the big man from Devonport stood tall in North Melbourne’s heavy loss to Port Adelaide.

After managing just 5.5 from rounds 10-14, the 24-year-old has roared back to life with 10.4 in the past three rounds.

This includes 3.0 from10 touches and four marks, with two goal assists and five score involvements against the Power on Tom Clurey.

He now has 41.20 for the

year, just one goal away from bettering his 41.18 last year.

It was a less enjoyable time of it for Clarence’s Mitchell Hibberd, who suffered a shoulder injury which has ended his season.

Clarence’s Jack Riewoldt had a strong, but inaccurate day in Richmond’s win over Brisbane.

Opposed to Harris Andrews, Riewoldt kicked 4.4, on goal assist and nine score involvements from 14 touches, took six marks and laid two tackles. The two-time Coleman Medalist now has 40.26 for the season.

George Town’s Toby Nankervis spent time forward,

and finished with 18 touches [10 contested] to go with 14 hit-outs.

Launceston’s Thomas Bellchambers continued his fine season as Essendon thumped St Kilda.

Bellchambers was too strong for Tom Hickey in the ruck, winning that individual ruck battle 26 hit-outs to 19, and was also able to have an impact around the ground.

He kicked two goals in the third quarter as the Dons put the foot down, and finished with 14 possessions, four marks and five tackles.

Teammate Josh Green, of Clarence, was dangerous up front, also finishing with

2.0 from 12 touches with three touches.

Dodges Ferry’s Jeremy Howe returned from injury as Collingwood upset Gold Coast, but his output was lower than usual in the backhalf with just 14 touches and four marks.

In the opposition, Hobart’s Aaron Hall also made his return from injury and collected 21 touches [15 uncontested] at 81 per cent disposal efficiency, with three marks, two tackles and 1.0.

Launceston’s Jake Kolodjashnij was strong in defence in Geelong’s win over Hawthorn, finishing with 15 possessions, six marks and

five tackles.

North Hobart’s Liam Jones celebrated his contract extension with Carlton with another solid performance in defence for the Blues as they lost to the Western Bulldogs.

Jones shut down Jack Redpath and finished with nine touches [six of them intercepts], six marks [five intercepts] and three tackles.

Burnie’s Lachie Weller had 20 touches, took four marks, laid two tackles and kicked 0.1 in Fremantle’s loss to West Coast. Hobart’s Hugh Greenwood had 16 touches and laid seven tackles as Adelaide defeated Melbourne.

NORTH Launceston key players Josh Ponting and Alex Lee have been both cleared to play for the side’s clash against Glenorchy.

Ponting had been cited for making contact with Burnie’s Jaidyn Cox in Sunday’s game, but the match review panel found the contact incidental.

Lee was referred for high contact on Darcy Crane, but the match review panel found no evidence of head contact.

Glenorchy’s Matt Joseph accepted one week for high contact against Clarence.

THE muscles are all fully stretched, their kicking boots are firmly in place and they have now been presented the famous Map guernseys.

For the Tasmanian AFL inclusion team, they could not be any better prepared for the state’s second-ever national carnival.

The best state footballers with intellectual disabilities will showcase their unique playing abilities to the football community from July 24-30 on the Gold Coast.

“The 2017 team is looking a lot stronger than previous

years,” New Horizons team coordinator Vanessa Wyllie said. “There’s been more experience under-pressure for most of the players.”

The Tasmanians warmed up for the carnival on Sunday against the Launceston AllStars at the NTCA Ground.

The grudge match against the team’s mentors, Old Scotch stars, prominent politicians and councillors was a precursor to AFL Tasmania’s jumper presentation.

Tasmanian Football Council general manager Jackson Hills was full of praise for the Launceston-based New Horizons Club’s work in co-

ordinating the playing squad that includes seven players from the North.

“In years gone by, our players participated in a composite team with Victoria,” Hills said, “but through a successful awareness campaign and a series of come and try days across the state, we have been able to get more players and supporters involved in this great initiative.”

Players will run football clinics in southern Queensland special schools and play an AFL nines match at Metricon Stadium in the Gold Coast and Richmond clash.

Kenzie leads global charge TASMANIANS ABROAD

BY ROB SHAW

A NEW Australian record was the silver lining for Deon Kenzie as he finished second in the T38 800-metres final at the World Para-Athletics Championships.

After winning his heat on day one in London, the 21-year-old Forth athlete surpassed his own expectations by clocking 2:02.15 in finishing behind Irish winner Michael McKillop.

“I put it all on the line early, which is what I set out [for] today, and I couldn’t have put in more,” Kenzie said.

“It’s always a pleasure racing Michael, he’s a good friend of mine. He’s a world class athlete and hopefully one day I’ll get him.

“The crowd here is awesome, and it’s great to see London putting so much effort and energy into the Paralympic movement, and to have a crowd like this is absolutely fantastic.”

Kenzie, who has cerebral palsy affecting the right side of his body, will race again on Saturday in the T38 1500m in which he is the world record holder.

Kenzie’s silver came a day after Launceston-born Todd Hodgetts claimed a bronze medal with his final throw in the F20 shot put.

The Melbourne-based 29-year-old, who has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, was competing in the same stadium he won a Paralympic title in 2012.

JOHANNESBURG Hobart’s Jeremy Edwards claimed his second international goal as the Kookaburras continued on their winning ways against New Zealand at the World League semi-finals in Johannesburg.

After going behind to Jared Panchia’s field goal, Edwards launched Australia’s fightback from a 53rd-minute penalty corner seven minutes before Jeremy Hayward

sealed the 2-1 win.

It was the Kookaburras’ third straight win in the pool games.

They were due to complete their group matches against Japan on Monday night (Tas time) ahead of quarter-finals beginning on Wednesday.

Edwards, 25, who has played 20 games for the national team, is the sole Tasmanian on the tour following new dad Eddie Ockenden’s withdrawal.

Another wicket in Australia’s 59-run win against South Africa cemented Kristen Beams’ position among the best bowlers at the women’s ICC World Cup. The 32-year-old spinner, originally of Exeter, took 128 in her team’s final pool match in Taunton as South Africa fell short of its 270 victory target.

Beams has taken wickets in all six of Australia’s match-

However, the fixture marked the first time the No.11 has been required to bat on the tour and she was dismissed lbw by Marizanne Kapp for a golden duck in the penultimate over.

Class on crisis control AFL offer lesson in damage limitation

S

EX, drugs and violence.

Welcome to a particularly sordid episode of life at the AFL. Senior staff resign for having affairs, another goes for fighting before the self-confessed stopper of the buck in the Essendon supplements saga gets asked to present one of the game’s most prestigious accolades.

Even by the high standards of AFL House, the levels of hypocrisy and spin have been off the scale.

Donald Trump could learn a lot about crisis control from Gillon McLachlan.

The AFL CEO has been in damage limitation mode and, it has to be said, he’s a natural.

He dealt with the league’s latest scandal in the customary manner – by putting out a press release.

What it said between the lines is far more informative than what was on them.

The opening line was: “The AFL that I want to lead is a professional organisation based on integrity, respect, care for each other and responsibility.”

This translates as: “Two of my staff have been caught with their pants down.”

McLachlan went on to detail how he had accepted the resignations of AFL general managers Simon Lethlean and Richard Simkiss.

“This has occurred following issues that have fully come to light over the past few days.”

Translation: “It’s been

splashed all over the Herald Sun.” He praised both men for their honesty and for taking ownership of their mistakes and waxed lyrical about the AFL’s “journey” to a more equal and respectful workplace.

Such spin had not been seen since Old Trafford 1993 courtesy of another dishy Melbourne tweaker.

McLachlan’s statement concluded: “This weekend, our 18 clubs will again take the field, and everyone who works in our industry must not forget that the game, our fans, our clubs and our people are our first and last responsibility.”

Tell that to the Essendon 34.

Just a few days after diversity manager Ali Fahour had also left the AFL for dishing out the sort of punishment that floors Manny Pacquiao, McLachlan followed page two of the damage limitation manual by calling a press conference.

Questioned about the AFL’s transparent cultural problems, he said the AFL had no transparent cultural problems. In fact, he said the events had underlined the AFL’s accountability even though the AFL had only demonstrated any accountability once the affairs had been exposed in the press.

He did, however, admit that the AFL’s image was “a work in progress”.

So is Trump’s presidency.

Of late, the AFL has grandstanded on its sudden

LOOKING BACK: Former Essendon coach James Hird has been given a call by the AFL.

desire to involve a gender it had happily ignored for the previous 120 years.

Ironically, it was Lethlean who had overseen the launch of AFLW. It surely won’t be long before the next themed round celebrating women fires

up an AFL charm offensive in the same way that racial abuse of Eddie Betts, Lance Franklin or Adam Goodes is all forgotten once the Dreamtime at the G celebrations kick off.

Keen to complete the scandal hat-trick, the AFL

wasted little time in announcing that James Hird would present this year’s Norm Smith Medal.

The 2000 winner of the Grand Final’s best-onground is next in line for the honour but given he was banned by the AFL for

his role in the supplements saga it was hardly surprising when Twitterland swiftly compared the move to Lance Armstrong being invited to present Chris Froome’s yellow jersey.

Fortunately, while our national footy code may have given rise to one of Australia’s most efficient spin departments, it has also spawned another national institution.

As with most AFL matters, the saga was neatly summed up in a couple of Tweets from Titus O’Reily.

“Huge story brewing at AFL House, even bigger than the Thomas the Tank announcement yesterday,” he began.

And concluded: “No more inappropriate relations at AFL House. Another great tradition of footy lost to history.”

GOLD RUSH

Trademark Birtwhistle burst lands another timely world crown TRIATHLON

BY ROB SHAW

ANOTHER trademark finishing burst from Jake Birtwhistle has earned the Tasmanian a second world title.

A day after sprinting home to claim his second successive World Triathlon Series

silver medal in Hamburg, the 22-year-old anchored Australia to its first teams relay world championship.

It proved a particularly timely result for the former under-23 world champ in the first teams relay race since the announcement that the event will be on the schedule

of the 2020 Olympic Games.

“I will give it to Hamburg, I love it here,” said a delighted Birtwhistle.

“To come out here with these guys, we were all able to put together a good race and end up as world champions, it is pretty awesome.”

Already on the Common-

wealth Games program for the Gold Coast next year, the mixed teams relay involves two women and two men each completing a 300-metre swim; seven kilometre ride and 1.6km run.

Australia’s latest Commonwealth Games nomination, Victorian Charlotte

McShane, took the first leg followed by Hervey Bay teenager Matthew Hauser and fellow Queenslander and Rio Olympian Ashleigh Gentle, who, like Birtwhistle, had also finished second in the previous day’s individual event.

Birtwhistle set off in fifth

place, 36 seconds off the leaders, and made up 10 seconds on the swim before working with riders from the Netherlands and Great Britain on the bike as they chased down the USA and Canada.
