Fixing road woes

TWO of Wyndham’s three rail crossings will be removed at a cost believed to be around $240 million if Labor wins the next election. Last week Labor launched its 2014 election campaign by announcing it would remove 50 of the state’s worst level crossings. It has also promised to build a West Gate Distributor from the West Gate Freeway to the Port of Melbourne that it is claimed will take 5000 trucks a day off the bridge. The ambitious program will be funded by the sale of the Port of Melbourne, which is expected to garner $5 to $6 billion, and will see the Cherry St and Cottrell St rail crossings replaced by rail-underroad or rail-over-road systems. The Hoppers Crossing Geelong Rd rail crossing could be revealed as another one to go when another 10 crossings are announced before November 2014. Member for Tarneit and Shadow Treasurer Tim Pallas told Star that 20 crossings would be removed in the government’s first term if they were elected while the remaining 30 would be done in the next term. He said the last one would be started by the end of their second term.

“If you want to find one thing that irritates people the most in Melbourne, it’s probably the failure for road and rail networks to work together seamlessly,” Mr Pallas said. “We will stand behind this plan and demonstrate that it is do-able.” But Chairperson for the Wyndham Transport Advisory Committee and former Wyndham Mayor, John Menegazzo, said he still thought the Napthine Government’s plan of an East West Link was the way forward. “For Wyndham itself I think the East West Link is going to be better at reducing congestion,” Mr Menegazzo told Star. “I applaud the Opposition for coming up with a plan to remove the rail crossings, but there are still a lot of deficiencies in that plan as far securing the costs goes. “At the moment it is still just a plan and there is a lot of meat missing from that plan.” Mr Pallas said while traffic around Melbourne would be effected during the construction phases of the crossings, he was confident it could be managed. “We need to manage it properly and minimise the impact on the local community. The question is, is it worth it, and I think the answer would be unambiguously yes.”

MORE children were locked inside of cars in Hoppers Crossing last year than any other suburb in Victoria, Ambulance Victoria figures have revealed. Statistics from 1 September 2012 to 31 August 2013 showed that paramedics attended 24 incidents of people being locked inside cars in Hoppers Crossing. The data was qualified with information that not all incidents could be guaranteed to be involving children, as sometimes adults became trapped in vehicles, but Ambulance Victoria estimated that 87.4 per cent

Morons leave kids in cars I READ with interest that we are the second worst suburb for people leaving kids in cars. What sort of moron leaves a child in a car? I hear radio stations reminding people not to leave their children or their pets in the car on hot days. If people are that stupid, we should be reminding them to put pants on before leaving the house, make sure you drive on the left side of the road, and avoid sticking sharp objects into your eyes. Unfortunately there is no exam to become a parent, but surely you care about your child enough not to leave them baking in a car, while you slip into the shops or do whatever. If you see this take place I ask you, for the sake of the child, to ring the police. This has got to stop. I HOSTED a charity trivia night recently and I have to say they were one of the rudest crowds I have ever come across. Also this year at football functions I have noticed the increasing trend of people who simply continue their conversations when someone is talking on the microphone. Why has this changed? Have we become so selfabsorbed that what someone else has to say is not as important as what we want to say? I have never been an MC who feels comfortable ordering people to be quiet, but I now have no choice but to shush people, because no amount of polite persuasion seems to work. I fail to understand why people pay money to go to a sports function and then talk while the speakers are talking. Have you noticed this? GREAT to see the council is cracking down on people who drop cigarette butts on the ground. How about a general beef up on anyone responsible for the litter that chokes our streets. Food and drink containers, bottles, junk mail pamphlets. Let’s make a serious effort to clean up our streets, not just a one dimensional focus that looks like it might be one person’s pet hate.

ing left in a hot car can quickly become life threatening,” he said. “This can be catastrophic and unfortunately in the past there have been cases of children dying in hot cars. Leaving them in the car even for a few minutes is not acceptable,” he said. Mr Drummond said accidents where keys were locked in the car with a child were common, while other cases were deliberate acts. “Some people think they can just duck into the shop and leave their child but there’s a risk they will be delayed and it’s a risk that’s not worth taking,” he said.

of all triple-zero calls involved children. Wyndham was also easily the capital of the West for the dangerous incidents, with 57 triple-zero calls throughout the municipality. The figures promoted a warning from paramedics, with the mercury rising over the upcoming weeks and months. Group Manager Brett Drummond said leaving children in a car could prove deadly. “Tragically there have been cases of children dying in hot cars in Victoria in recent years,” Mr Drummond said. “Babies and young children can’t regulate their body temperature like adults can, so be-

Pallas picks Werribee By XAVIER SMERDON AFTER months of speculation, Member for Tarneit Tim Pallas has announced he will be moving to the newly created state electorate of Werribee. Mr Pallas told Star last week he would be nominating for pre-selection of the seat, which will be created at next year’s election following a restructure this year. He said he was told by the Labor Party that he needed to pick between Tarneit and Werribee and the new Werribee seat was a natural fit

for him. “Basically my office is here and the council I deal with the majority of the time is here,” Mr Pallas said. “More importantly, the community that I deal with and work with every day is based around Werribee.” Current Member for Derrimut, Telmo Languiller, has also put his hand up to move to the restructured Tarneit electorate. Mr Languiller, who moved to Australia in 1974 with his family after they were forced to flee his birth country of Uruguay following civil

unrest, said he was excited about the challenges that would face him in his new electorate. “I remain the Member for Derrimut until the election in November 2014, and I am very grateful to the people of Derrimut who I have represented since 1999,” Mr Languiller said. “Tim Pallas is already located in Werribee and the Labor Party made a collective decision that it would be best for me to contest the next election in the seat of Tarneit. “I believe the new challenges will be exciting, but many of the

issues such as infrastructure and a growing population are the same.” A new candidate will also be announced to contest the newly formed electorate of St Albans, which Mr Pallas said was a good thing for the West. “It means one more seat in the West and out of the 88 seats in Parliament, the West gets another vote,” he said. “This is a community that likes to rise to a challenge and I’m very happy that I can continue to represent them.”

Police arrests By XAVIER SMERDON THREE men from Truganina have been arrested over a spate of robberies in the Western Suburbs. Detectives from the Altona North Armed Robbery Taskforce charged the men over armed robberies that took place between 26 September and 12 November. A Victoria Police spokesperson said two of the robberies targeted adult entertainment stores in Footscray and Footscray West while a third took place at a service station. The men aged 28, 27 and 19 and all from Truganina were charged with armed robbery and other related offences. They were scheduled to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court late last week.

By XAVIER SMERDON ONE of Wyndham’s oldest and most respected schools is at risk of losing its international accreditation if it does not receive urgent upgrades to some of its crumbling facilities. Werribee Secondary College brought in independent risk assessors to determine what aspects of some of the buildings were dangerous to students and staff. They reportedly found thousands of risks and the school has now developed a business case which will be submitted to the State Government. The business case will request $7 million in immediate funding to

lower the risks at the school. Star visited the school recently and was shown crumbling walls, flood damage and other damage throughout one third of the school. Dead maggots have also filled light fixtures in some of the buildings where possums have died in the roof. “College Council has declared an imperative that the safety and wellbeing of the children and staff at Werribee Secondary College are no longer to be compromised,” Deputy Principal of the Werribee Secondary College Greg Lentini said. CEO of the Committee for Wyndham, Chris Potaris, said the school,

which is the only one in Victoria to offer the International Baccalaureate and one of a handful around Australia to be internationally accredited, was at risk of losing its reputation. “The Council of International School’s Accreditation Team has warned that the physical amenities of the school aren’t up to international standards and that if it isn’t rebuilt the school could lose their international accreditation and their international baccalaureate,” Mr Potaris said. “If the school were to lose their international baccalaureate program, it would be a sad indictment on this current government.” A spokesperson for Education

Minister Martin Dixon said the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s Emergency Maintenance program helped schools to fix unforeseen infrastructure issues which pose an immediate risk to the health and safety of staff, students or visitors. “The Government must responsibly balance and prioritise the capital needs of over 1500 government schools in Victoria,” the spokesperson said. “The needs of Werribee Secondary College will be considered as part of future budget deliberations.” A public meeting will be held on 4 December from 6pm at the school.

Recognise disability THE Wyndham community will come together on Monday as part of International Day of People with a Disability. The community is invited to enjoy the United Nations sanctioned day to promote greater understanding of people with a disability and to encourage support for their rights and wellbeing. Chaffey Ward Councillor and council’s representative on the Wyndham Disability Action Group Marie Brittan said Wyndham City Council was proud to support the positive contributions made by local residents

with a disability. “The aim of International Day for People with a Disability is to break down the barriers for people with a disability while celebrating their abilities,” Cr Brittan said. “It is about bringing the community together to help make a difference in every aspect of the social, economic, political and cultural lives of people with a disability,” she said. Events on the day will include a community lunch and forum on healthy eating at Kelly Park Community Centre from 11.30am.

The Mambourin Services will also host a concert from 11am which will include a hiphop workshop, live band, radio broadcast and sausage sizzle. The Iramoo Community Centre has also jumped on board and will host a community luncheon and exhibition from noon. For more information on International Day for People with a Disability including a full list of events taking place in Wyndham, phone Wyndham City’s Aged and Disability Department on 9742 0777 or visit www.wyndham.vic.gov.au

TWO of Wyndham’s younger residents are excelling beyond their years. Grade 6 student Kiran Phanidhar Baireddy and Year 8 student Alexandra Stojanova have just completed the Kumon English program, which means both students are now capable of studying at Year 12 VCE level for English. The Kumon Method of learning is an individualised learning method taught at Kumon centres across the world, including a Point Cook centre. Students can start the program, for either maths or English, at any age and at the level where they can attain a perfect score by studying on their own,

and excel gradually. Staff Assistant at the Point Cook Kumon Centre Doreen Nguyen said Kumon gave all students an opportunity to develop and build on skills they learnt at school. “It’s a level based program that helps students build on everything that they’ve already learnt at school,” she said. Ms Nguyen said the program helped students get ahead in school by helping them develop the necessary skills needed to work effectively and independently in all their subjects. She said Kiran and Alexandra’s efforts in successfully completing the English program would help them feel more confident at school and make their future studies easier, which is

the aim of the program. “It’s amazing, it’s really inspirational because it shows it’s in everybody’s reach if a grade six boy can do it why not someone else,” she said. Kiran started the program when he was in grade four and Alexandra when she was in grade six. Ms Nguyen said the students achievements showed a good comparison of how students start and finish the program at different stages of their schooling and at their own pace. Kiran and Alexandra are two of three students to successful complete the program at the Point Cook centre. Both students are also months away from completing the Kumon maths program.

Mosquito warning AS SUMMER approaches and the mercury continues to rise, Wyndham residents are being warned to expect the arrival of some annoying neighbours. Councillor Intaj Khan said although mosquitoes may inconvenience the human species from time to time, they are part of the natural environment. “Unfortunately, mosquitoes can carry diseases which may affect you or your family. However, there are steps you can take to limit getting bitten by these annoying little creatures,” Cr Khan said.

“Ensure there is no still water lying around your home, because water provides breeding conditions for mosquitoes. This includes children’s pools, buckets, tyres, boats and other items that can hold water. “Weeds and long grass provide shelter, so make sure your lawn is left neat and tidy throughout the summer period. Make sure that flywire screens are on your windows and doors to keep unwanted guests out of your house and away from your family.” Cr Khan said dawn and dusk

during summer were the times when mosquitoes were most active, so residents should avoid being outside or make sure that are prepared and protected from mosquitoes. “While some councils have a program of spraying to try and reduce the number of mosquitoes in affected areas, Wyndham City does not undertake this activity. The effectiveness of these programs remains unclear and it may release extra chemicals into our living environment.”

Filming an end to violence By YASEMIN TALAT A POINT Cook filmmaker is taking a stand against domestic violence through the production of a new short film. Producer and writer Tony Hooper has joined forces with director Byron J Brochmann in standing against domestic violence and sending the message across a medium everyone can share. Mr Hooper hoped the short film titled ‘Under the Bed’ will raise awareness of the growing problem of domestic violence and its effects on families. “It’s a sad truth that domestic violence is widespread across our communities, affecting every walk of life, with nearly all Australians knowing someone who has suffered from this evil,” Mr Hooper said. Mr Hooper said the film concentrated on the children and forgotten victims of domestic violence. He said the story reflected the loss of innocence that children suffered in an abusive household. “If we want to break the cycle of pain we need to do something and that’s not turning a blind eye and that’s being proactive and hopefully giving families a chance to reinvent themselves and give those kids a sense of hope,” he said. The issue is extremely personal to Mr Hooper who also suffered abuse as a child. “As someone who knows the true horror of abuse I wanted to push boundaries within the subject, with our goal from the production to create awareness that each of us needs to take responsibility to speak out when we see abuse,” Mr Hooper said. But the film cannot be completed without much needed

Elena Tass, left, and Salomi Ganthala have been awarded for their leadership and Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI teamwork skills. 110432

Leaders of the future By XAVIER SMERDON TWO Hoppers Crossing students have been awarded for displaying some of the best teamwork and leadership skills in Australia. Salomi Ganthala and Elena Tass from Heathdale Christian College were announced as winners of the Australian Defence Force’s Long Tan Leadership and Teamwork Awards last week. The girls were nominated for the award by their teachers and were chosen as recipients for “their contribution towards enhancing community spirit within both the school and the broader community”.

Salomi recently finished her VCE exams and has spent the last year as school captain, while Elena is about to finish year 10. Both girls have travelled to the Philippines with their school to volunteer at orphanages and both girls are also heavily involved in a range of different sports. For winning the award, Elena will receive $250 and Salomi will receive $550 to go towards their further studies. And while they both lead very busy lifestyles with all their commitments, both girls said they had no intentions of slowing down.

“I think it’s important to have a balance and make the most out of the opportunities you have,” Salomi said. “Our school provides us with so many great opportunities but unless you take up those opportunities, you won’t benefit from them.” “I’m not going to say no to something that I really want to do,” Elena said. “I want to look back at all the opportunities I’ve been given and know that I made the most of them.” Both girls are now planning return trips to the Philippines to continue some of the work they started there.

Present to save lives By YASEMIN TALAT THE donation that could save many lives was presented from one volunteer organisation to another last week. The Werribee Lions Club presented the Truganina Fire Brigade with an Automated External Defibrillator at a dinner and handover presentation at the Truganina Fire Station. Werribee Lions President Bruce Hudgson said it was a logical and positive way to help another volunteer organisation. Community Liaison Officer for the Brigade Graham Abbott said the donation brought the two organisations together and helped both parties further un-

derstand and respect the contribution each makes to the community of Wyndham. “The contribution of the AED to the brigade by Lions is a wonderful example of co-operation between two volunteer organisations, both serving the community to produce an outcome that benefits ever person that lives and works in Wyndham,” said Mr Abbott. The donation was accepted by Brigade Captain Colleen Goodfellow on behalf of the community. “The donation of the Automated External Defibrillator is a donation not only to the Fire Brigade, but also to the whole community of Tarneit and Tru-

ganina,” she said. The vital addition to the brigade and the community will come with many benefits. Volunteer firefighter and professional nurse Paul Townsend said the AED would assist firefighters even further when dealing with different situations. “From a medical point of view, this AED will assist the brigade in providing another facet of our service to the community; going beyond our primary role as firefighters and assisting us in dealing with the wide range of situations we encounter on a daily basis,” Mr Townsend said. Cheerleaders Erin, Maramena, Chloe and Emily hold on tight to Lauren. 110297 Picture: JOE MASTROIANNI

By XAVIER SMERDON FLIPPING, twisting and flying through the air might sound scary to some people, but for a group of elite athletes and future elite athletes from Werribee, it is all part of their sport. While it is typically thought of as a way to keep people interested in other sports, cheerleading is establishing itself as a sport in its own right. Southern Cross Cheerleading in Werribee will be holding an open day to introduce people to their unique but rapidly growing sport. Cheerleading coach Edi George first discovered the sport when she was studying at RMIT University and de-

cided to use her experience as a dancer to join the university’s cheerleading team. Since then she has travelled the world with her sport and last year her and two other coaches from Southern Cross Cheerleading flew to Disneyland in Florida to compete in the world championships, where they came second. Ms George joked that she originally decided to try cheerleading because she “just really liked the little skirts”. But she said the team environment was what kept her interested in the sport. “It sounds cheesy, but it is such a positive environment to be a part of,” Ms George said. “I like the fact that literally

the weakest link can make or break the team. “You’re always welcome, always wanted and always needed.” Ms George said since she started the sport in 2010 she had already seen it start gain in popularity in Australia. “It has grown exponentially,” she said. “It seems to be something that a lot of adults are starting. It’s really addictive, you get hooked.” Southern Cross Cheerleading will be holding their open day on Sunday 1 December from 1pm to 2pm at Werribee Gymnastics at 52 Riverside Avenue.

Running for health By YASEMIN TALAT LAUREN Douglas will be stepping in the right direction this weekend when she takes part in the Bupa Take Steps for Good Health fun run. The Werribee resident will be taking to the The Tan at the Royal Botanical Gardens on Sunday 1 December, to help inspire others to take a step towards a healthier lifestyle. “I started running a couple of years ago, but just casually for fun,” Lauren said. Lauren, who will be taking part in the 4 km run category, aspires to run longer distances and take part in more running events in the future. “It’s a good way to ease my way into it,” Lauren said. She hopes her participation will encourage others to also give it a go. “Everyone can see me participate and think if Lauren can do it hopefully I can do it to.” Take Steps for Good Health is about inspiring Victorians to take small, long-term steps towards good health. The event will help raise funds for Diabetes Australia, helping specifically with diabetes kid’s camps and medical research. The summer and good health festival will also include Summer’s Healthiest Picnic with live cooking demonstration, health and wellness stalls and a heap of entertainment for the family. Take Steps ambassador and leading nutritionist, Dr Joanna McMillan will be there to give healthy lifestyle insights.

Samantha Moody’s self-portrait. 110694

Picture: SAMANTHA MOODY

In the mood for photography By XAVIER SMERDON FOR Werribee’s Samantha Moody, making herself float and defy gravity is just another ordinary day. The 21-year-old photographer recently completed her Advanced Diploma of Photography at Photography Studies College (PSC) in Melbourne. Along with 18 of her fellow students, a collection of her works is currently on display at a graduation exhibition. Samantha chose to enter only self-portraits into the exhibition and she said she hoped that people would be able to see a story in her photos. One of the photos, entitled Weightless, shows Samantha seemingly floating while her long white dress and blonde

hair hang down to towards the ground. She said the photo took her roughly three hours to complete, with one and a half hours set aside just for taking the actual photos and the rest of the time used for pre and post production. Samantha said she first became interested in photography when she picked up her mother’s simple digital camera when she was in Year 9 at school. “I just used to borrow my Mum’s camera and take photos of my friends at school and eventually everybody knew me as the photography girl,” Samantha said. “I just really enjoyed it and eventually it became my voice.” At such a young age, Sa-

mantha already has her eyes set firmly on her goal of becoming a professional photographer, and earlier this year she set up her own company, Samantha Moody Photography. “My photography has completely changed since I first took the camera to school,” she said. “I don’t even know how to explain it. “At first it was just for fun and now it is still fun but it’s also a career choice. I get so excited when I know another shoot is coming up.” The exhibition, Fresh 13, will be held at Yarra Sculpture Gallery in Abbotsford until 8 December. For more information visit www.psc.edu.au

CHRISTMAS marks the season of giving and with the launch of the Wesley Mission Victoria’s 22nd Food for Families appeal last week there is no better time to start giving. The Food for Families appeal collects donations of nonperishable food and toiletries for disadvantaged families in the lead up to Christmas. The Food for Families coordinator and Hoppers Crossing resident Lulu Nyirenda said she felt strongly about helping those in need this Christmas. “This is something that I’m really passionate about and before I started working here

I wasn’t aware of how serious this issue was,” Ms Nyirenda said. She said she hoped those who could afford to donate would jump on board and help those within the community who were not as fortunate. “A lot of the families we help are either homeless or at the risk of being homeless. They are quite disadvantaged and a lot of them can’t afford meals especially during Christmas time,” Ms Nyirenda said. “It’s important for the Wyndham community to be aware of these issues,” she said. “And it’s important for everyone to help out.” Donations of non-perishable

food items, toiletries and even toys and gifts can be made at participating Woolworths or IGA stores across Melbourne, including many in Wyndham. Last year the appeal collected 48 tonnes of donations, providing non-perishable food and toiletries to thousands of homeless and disadvantaged families throughout the year. This year the goal is 50 tonnes, which will help families in need for several months. To support Food for Families you can donate non-perishable food and toiletries at participating Woolworths and IGA stores or cash online at www.foodforfamilies.com.au

Got the movie munchies? A FRESH batch of thrilling, action-packed, romantic, funny and scary movies will soon hit the cinemas and there is something to suit everyone’s taste. For those hungry for a bit of action, checkout The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in cinemas now. The second movie in the Games trilogy starring Jennifer Lawrence and Australia’s favourite son Liam Hemsworth.

Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very

much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever. In cinemas: Now Thor: The Dark World is still performing strong at the box office and is the second installation of the popular Marvel series. The adventures of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Mighty

Avenger, continue as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos... but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that

even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. In cinemas: Now Screamers beware. Insidious: Chapter 2 is in cinemas now and promises to chill the audiences to the core. The famed horror team of

director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell reunite with the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey and Ty Simpkins in Insidious: Chapter 2, a terrifying sequel to the acclaimed horror film, which follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.

This inviting light filled unit takes a stylish approach to delivering single level traditions of comfort and convenience in a location that lets you walk to Werribee Plaza, wander through parkland reserves and catch public transport to the city. A living/dining area that opens to exceptionally generous outdoor surroundings is complemented by effective gas heating and an efficient modern kitchen zone while northern light adds a natural advantage to two double bedrooms that share a central bathroom and separate laundry. Fully insulated and further enhanced by ducted evaporative cooling, this ideal modern unit also appreciates a lock up single garage. This is the way to do ‘single level’ in style.

The inviting spaces of this substantial modern family home are more than matched by the lowmaintenance ease of its accompanying outdoor surroundings. Generous living and dining domains featuring timber flooring and reverse cycle heating/cooling are arranged around a kitchen equipped with broad benches and ample storage. In their own zone, three bedrooms, each with built in robes, share a bathroom in which stylish fittings and fresh presentation make a great impression. On every aspect, the outdoor appeal is apparent. Extensive patio spaces, inviting entertaining areas, a carport and a double garage each make a major contribution to the quality and the convenience of a family friendly address close to the parkland and bike paths that border Skeleton Creek.

“Once again Rick O’Halloran has delivered above & beyond our expectations” We have known Rick O’Halloran for over a decade and he has SOLD our previous family homes & investment properties many times before. He’s not only our agent but we consider him a friend. Though our home was listed for sale for only 9 days, at all times throughout our campaign we have been informed of the exact processes and progress for the sale of our home. Right from the very beginning Rick provided us with a diligent plan of how to sell our property with forward thinking ideas and marketing strategies. Pricing for such a property seemed to be somewhat difficult and my husband and I were a little concerned with what and how the best plan of attack would be but Rick immediately overcame any concern we may have had and excelled beyond with superior negotiating strategies and overwhelming experience to achieve a RECORD BREAKING PRICE for our family!! Without a doubt we would recommend Barry Plant Tarneit!! The professionalism, trust and dedication that Rick thrives on to achieve the BEST results in the marketplace truly are NUMBER 1! SELECT ONLY THE BEST AGENTS TO SELL YOUR HOME – CHOOSE BARRY PLANT ! Yours truly –

BRIGHT SIGNS FOR RECOVERY ESTHER LAUAKI

HIGHER levels of new dwelling commencements and steady recovery in renovations investment from a 10 year low are signs of a brighter outlook for the coming year according to new research. Housing Industry Association released the spring 2013 edition of its National Outlook which it describes as Australia’s most comprehensive housing report card. The industry watchdog’s latest national outlook highlights the prospects for a broader based recovery in new housing development which has largely been driven by New South Wales and Western Australia to date.

HIA senior economist Shane Garrett believes renovations investment is expected to grow in a majority of states and territories after falling to a 10 year low over the past 12 months. “Growth in housing starts during 2013/14 will be concentrated in large states like NSW, Queensland and WA. “Growth in renovations will be much more broad-based, with increases occurring across most states.” RP Data research released this month indicates a higher number of properties now on the market than in any other period this year.

It suggests that the heightened volume of stock on the market would provide challenges should the advertised number of properties continue to grow which include falling home values or an instability in sustaining the elevated levels long term. “Looking further ahead, we see dwelling commencements lifting above the 170,000 per year mark by 2016/17, matching the highs achieved during the post-GFC stimulus. “Over this timeframe, renovations activity is also likely to increase steadily, reaching $30.3 billion by 2017/18,” Mr Garrett said. Record low interest rates and

HOMES OPEN TO EXPERIENCE CASIANA Grove in Cranbourne is one of the latest in Fairhaven Homes’ amazing range of displays which is open now for home buyers to experience. Two designs out of the Fairhaven range and one from the Bridgewater range are on display for viewing. The Fairhaven Queenscliff 416 is a 41.6 square, two storey, four bedroom home which features two bathrooms and a double garage. It includes a theatre room, study and rumpus room, a spacious family and meals area that leads to a covered outdoor area. It is priced at $283,400. Fairhaven’s Sorrento 328 is a 32.8 square, single storey, four bedroom home with two bathrooms and a double garage. It also features a formal lounge, entertainer’s kitchen and living room opening onto covered outdoor area. It is priced at $223,400. Finally, the Bridgewater Riverview 266 is a 26.6 square, single storey, four bedroom home with rumpus room, master bedroom with walk-in wardrobes, walk-in pantry, large family and meals area which opens onto covered outdoor area. It is priced at $169,400. The current Elite Inclusions on offer for the Fairhaven range means that luxury is standard. Just some of the features included with the standard pricing are flooring, ducted heating, Colorbond roofing, kitchen stone bench tops, stainless steel appliances, a range of architraves, skirting, tapware and door furniture. The Getting Started promotion for the Bridgewater range provides Colorbond roofing, ducted heating,

flooring, stone benchtops to kitchen, stainless steel appliances and soft close drawers included as standard. The opening of the Casiana Grove display homes now means Fairhaven Homes have 11 of its homes on open to view throughout Melbourne’s south-east. Ambrosia Estate, Parks Edge Estate, Waterford Rise, Vesper Drive

Narre Warren and now Casiana Grove Estate are all open seven days a week from 11am to 5pm. Casiana Grove Display Homes are now open at 11 Red Maple Drive, Cranbourne West. Contact 0400 569 480 or visit www.fairhavenhomes.com.au for more information.

strong population growth is driving increased demand for housing, he said. “In this context, it is absolutely crucial that planning reforms and infrastructure delivery facilitate the requisite supply of new housing. “There currently exist many bottlenecks around land supply, infrastructure and the time taken to achieve planning approval for new dwellings. “It is important that both Federal and State governments address these obstacles and work with the housing industry in delivering a sufficient supply of affordable housing,” Mr Garrett said.

F How would you rate your FB: ccooking skills? S SW: I’d never put my hand u up for MasterChef, but I can cook to impress if I have to. I generally follow recipes but end up varying them to taste or because I have different ingredients. I enjoy flicking through recipe books with nice foodie pictures looking for inspiration, but I can be a bit of a lazy cook, and if it looks like there’s more than 10 ingredients in a recipe, I’m about ready to turn the page. FB: What is your signature dish? SW: Risotto – I can always whip up a tasty one, but the family favourite is pumpkin and chicken with fresh coriander. My kids call it ‘orange risotto’ (because of the pumpkin). FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? SW: First course: Ricotta filled zucchini flowers in tempura batter – elegant, light and tasty (experienced this down at Josephs at Werribee Mansion). Main course: Lamb shank with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted eggplant and rocket

““Co sho oking is with uald be enliteke love. It all” – Hbandon, red into (Amer arriet Vaor not at nH ica colunmnewspapoerne nist) r

Food Bytes proudly sponsored by Westpoint Ford

and pear salad with balsamic dressing (just a combination of favourites). Dessert: Sticky date pudding and ice cream or rhubarb crumble and custard (thought I might go for something chocolate until I really thought hard about it). And something to nibble with a night cap – dark chocolate coated candied orange peel (I make this myself and it is to die for). FB: What is your favourite food? SW: Too hard to narrow it down to one but if I have to …an Indian curry with eggplant in it. Do I really have to stop at one? A really, really fruity moist fruit cake. This is what I craved when I was pregnant! FB: What is your favourite drink? SW: Bourbon and coke or a good cup of tea (must have one as soon as I wake up - tea that is - it’s the best one of the day). FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? LM: Robert Murphy from the Western Bulldogs for his

football brain, his insights and his humour, evident in his weekly column in The Age. Shame I have to narrow it down to one Bulldog, but I don’t want all footy heads at the table. Phillip Adams - Late Night Live on Radio National. Best interviewer and conversationalist ever. Malala Yousafzai – the Pakistani school girl who was shot by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ education. J.K. Rowling – her life story and story telling ability are compelling. And she’s a bit

secretive so a lot to find out about her. And Elvis, because I’ve always been a fan, but I wouldn’t rely on him for the conversation. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? SW: Cultivate a worm farm (outside) for all your organic kitchen waste (I keep a mini bin on the bench that gets emptied into the worm farm every couple of days). Organic waste, food etc is about 40 percent of our garbage that goes to landfill. Turn it into good garden compost!

Onpot As you know, I’m a sucker for useful kitchen gadgets and the latest offering from Dreamfarm - the Onpot - would make a nifty little Christmas stocking filler as well. The Onpot is a pot lid holder that rests the lid on the edge of the pot, so the condensation (and food

splatter) drips straight back into the pot. Heat resistant, it’s designed to stay stuck to your lid, so it’s there whenever you need it. Priced at just under $12, the Onpot comes in a variety of bright neon colours. To order, visit www.dreamfarm.com.au

shorts Pick of the Tigers Tight bowling Sports

By LIAM TWOMEY

WERRIBEE lived up to its reputation of giving mature age recruits a chance to reach the AFL system with Ben Brown the latest Tiger to make the jump. Brown was drafted by North Melbourne at pick 47 in the third round of selections. After being recruited to Werribee for the 2013 season, Brown proved a winner, playing in 18 matches for the Tigers as well as being named in the club’s best players on four occasions. His selection by the Kangaroos will mean the forward remains at Werribee when he isn’t playing for the senior side. He wasn’t the only Tiger to end up at the Kangaroos with Luke McDonald taken as a father/son selection at pick eight. After playing his TAC Cup football for the Oakleigh Chargers, McDonald left the juniors behind to start his senior career with Werribee. Werribee coach John Lamont said it was a great result for the club. “We were extremely confident Ben would get drafted,” he said. “I knew he was rated by North Melbourne recruiting staff, without a doubt. “Luke McDonald is obviously a little bit of a different one (being a father/ son selection).

“Jarred Moore and myself worked closely with him and once it all simplified and he was able to pretty much focus on his Werribee stuff he really came into his own. “He really blossomed in the last part of the season. Across the three finals, he was probably our best player. He did a great job.” The good news didn’t stop there for the Tigers with last year’s rookie selection Kyle Hartigan upgraded to the Crows’ senior list with pick 76. “It was great for Kyle Hartigan as well,” Lamont said. “Twelve months ago he got the rookie list spot with Adelaide and he was redrafted ... and he will get a two-year deal now. “A lot of kids will give it a go but then come up with an excuse like, I’m not enjoying my footy or they go and play for money somewhere. Kyle really hung in there and kept at it and it was terrific to see.” For the players from Werribee who missed out on selection in the AFL national draft, they now turn their attention to the rookie draft, which will take place on Wednesday 27 November. The Tigers have a host of players knocking on the door of selection including Scott Sherlock, Jake Wilson, Darcy Fort and Scott Clouston.

from Centrals WERRIBEE Centrals now sit just outside the top four in the North A1 Division of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association after picking up its second win of the season against Craigieburn on Saturday. After sending the home team in to bat at Aitken Reserve for the limited overs match, the Centurions were able to restrict Craigieburn to 8/68 in 35 overs. Justin Davies was the clear standout for the visitors, taking a very effective 3/7 in eight overs, while Aaron Edrich was also quite economical with 2/14 from seven. Led by middle-order batsmen Blair Hemmingson (27) and Luke Simpson (14), the Centurions made light work of their run chase, reaching their target of 69 for the loss of six wickets before going on to post 9/123 by the end of their 35-over dig. Meanwhile in the VTCA Senior Division, Hoppers Crossing’s home match with Beaumaris at Hogans Road Reserve was abandoned, resulting in a default draw.

Hawks zero in on a screaming Jet By ADEM SARICAOGLU EXCITING Western Jets utility James Sicily lived every young footballer’s dream last week. On Thursday AFL premier Hawthorn used its pick 56 to snare the 18-year-old former Keilor junior - who turned out to be the only Jet selected in this year’s national draft. “I’m pretty stoked and pretty excited to get stuck into it,” Sicily told Star the following day. “They’re the best team currently going around, so I’m looking forward to learning off the senior players and going from there.” Watching the draft from home, Sicily admits he became a touch nervy when Essendon, who along with Hawthorn contacted him earlier in the week, took extra time to make its selection at pick 55. Eventually the Bombers went with South Australian midfielder Orazio Fantasia, allowing the Hawks to swoop on

Sicily with the next pick. “When it got into the 50s I was getting pretty nervous,” Sicily said. “I knew that with the last two picks, 55 and 56, that if I didn’t get picked by then I probably wasn’t going to get picked, because they were the two clubs I spoke to during the week.” Jets coach Torin Baker, who prior to the draft rated Sicily his side’s best chance of landing on an AFL list, was pleased to see the Vic Metro representative get to Hawthorn. “I’m very excited for James,” Baker said. “The fact that he’s gone to a really good club like Hawthorn is fantastic for him and everyone at the Jets is really excited for him.” Used largely as a roaming utility for much of his top-age year, Sicily became regarded as one of the more versatile players going around in the TAC Cup this season.

Sicily’s strong marking ability became a feature of his game throughout the year but it was his excellent result in the 20-metre sprint at the draft combine that really turned heads. While acknowledging a strong summer in the gym will be essential, Baker can see Sicily slotting into Hawthorn’s forward line before establishing himself as a midfielder later into his AFL career. “He’s obviously going to have to put on some size to get him in a position where they see fit,” Baker said. “I personally think he’ll be a forward at first that’ll probably play in the midfield later on as his body develops.” Meanwhile Jake Greiser and David Iaccarino, who were both overlooked on Thursday, will be hoping to join their Jets teammate in the AFL ranks with this week’s rookie draft taking place on Wednesday.

POINT Cook is second in the Williamstown and District Cricket Association’s C-Composite competition after scoring an easy one-day win over Sunshine United at Saltwater Reserve on Saturday. An unbeaten century from Spiros Goustis (104 not out) that was well-supported by opener Dasith Jayatilake (54) helped put Point Cook in a strong position early in the piece. The Goustis-Jayatilake pairing combined for 155 runs for the second wicket, leading the hosts to a score of 8/189 by the end of their 40 overs. In response Sunshine United struggled, only managing to get to 76 before losing its final wicket in the 36th over. James Doolan was the standout bowler for Point Cook, claiming 4/11 and three maidens in his 10-over spell. Inclement weather led to the abandonment of many WDCA fixtures over the weekend, including four of the five A-Turf matches scheduled for Saturday. IN ONLY his seventh season of racing, 30-yearold Melton resident Dominic Dudkiewicz has taken out the Footscray Cycling Club’s 2013 Road Aggregate after contesting 23 gruelling road races in and around Melbourne’s West. Having won the 2013 Criterium Aggregate earlier in the year, Dudkiewicz is the club’s most complete rider, topping both disciplines, a fact he attributes to his competitive nature. “I’m naturally a very competitive person so the competitive aspect of cycling is definitely a big part of the appeal and is certainly what gets me up on a cold, dark winter morning to train,” he said. “It’s a great feeling when the training pays off in the form of a race win.” Dudkiewicz was picked up this year by Target Trek Racing, but still makes as many appearances at Footscray races as possible. “I’m really proud to be a member of FCC,” he said. “The club has a long and rich heritage and the volunteers do an extraordinary job to ensure great and frequent racing. “The FCC has a lot of active members and it’s a very friendly, inviting atmosphere at the club. I couldn’t imagine a better club to ride for.” Second in the Aggregate was 41-year-old Ascot Vale resident Miles DaCosta. The breakaway specialist consistently performing at a very high level all season, with third-placed Bob Shannon standing out as the class act in B Grade for the whole road season.

Tough Bulldogs earn their place By LIAM TWOMEY FOOTSCRAY Edgewater has rocketed to the top of the Premier Cricket ladder following a hard-fought win against Frankston Peninsula on Saturday. The Bulldogs resumed their innings at 2/56 in reply to Frankston’s total of 166 on day one. After the loss of two wickets last week, captain Dean Russ (47 not out) was joined at the crease by Dylan Kight and the pair looked to increase the advantage. The day didn’t start as planned, though, with Russ dismissed by Scott Bo-

land after adding just one run to his score. That left Footscray at 3/64, still 103 runs away from victory. Boland continued to tie up one end and together with opening bowler Jayde Herrick, Frankston built the pressure. However Footscray’s middle order wasn’t going away. Although the contributions of Sunam Gautam (11), Michael Hill (10) and Lucas Dredge (10) didn’t look massive on the scorecard, the trio provided excellent support to Kight. The Bulldogs’ wicketkeeper was the rock of the innings on his way to 60 be-

fore he was eventually dismissed with the score at 7/151. With only 16 runs needed for victory, Mitchell Winter-Irving, Michael Nalesnyik and Hamish Winter-Irving combined to see the Bulldogs home. Footscray now sits in first place on the Premier Cricket ladder with a 6-1 win/loss record for the season. The club’s only defeat came at the hands of Richmond in round three. The Bulldogs will be looking to continue their winning run against the 16th placed Greenvale Kangaroos when round eight begins on Saturday.

ANOTHER week, another big name signing for the Williamstown Football Club. This time its former North Melbourne listed AFL player Brad Mangan who has committed to the Seagulls for the next two years. The 22-year-old is originally from Kyabram and played TAC Cup football with the Murray Bushrangers. After his junior football finished, Mangan joined Werribee in the VFL. At the Tigers he established himself as one of the best defenders in the VFL and his form was recognised when North Melbourne selected him with Pick 28 in the 2011 Rookie Draft. After being delisted at the end of the 2012 season, Mangan was recruited to West Adelaide where he was coached by Andy Collins. Williamstown football man-

ager Chris Dixon said the club was delighted to have Mangan on board for the next two years. “He’s a player who we’ve admired in the past and obviously Andy Collins has had a lot to do with in the last 12 months,” Dixon said. “Brad is probably remembered in VFL circles as a real shut down defender but over at West Adelaide this year he played a much different role. “Brad had an outstanding season this year which was recognised by his selection in the SANFL Team of the Year so it’s obviously an extremely exciting acquisition for us.” While playing at West Adelaide, Mangan finished equal fourth in the club’s best and fairest award and gained selection in the SANFL Team of the Year.

Big week for Giants By ADEM SARICAOGLU THE Werribee Giants enjoyed a good week in Division Two Summer League baseball, scoring back-toback wins against Mulgrave. In the first of those two battles on Wednesday night at Altona’s Melbourne Ballpark, the Giants easily accounted for Mulgrave to come away with a 7-3 win. Then, in the return game on Sunday at Werribee’s President’s Park, the Giants did it again, this time scoring a 3-2 win to take their season record to 5-3. While coach Phil Balzer remains comfortable with his side’s progress, he does admit his Giants need to improve their offence as the Christmas break approaches. “We scored six runs in one inning on Wednesday and one in another, and then scored three in one inning today,” Balzer explained. “Over the 16 or 17 innings played we only scored in three of them, so from that point of view we need to be more productive with our batting than

what we’ve been over that time. “We won, so we’re happy with that, but we need to improve if we want to compete with the top teams.” Pitcher Dane Gregory held the fort well on the mound in Wednesday’s game, while Matt Howe and import Chad Northcott were both impressive with the bat, drawing praise from Balzer. “Dane went five innings and was pretty solid for us,” Balzer said. “He’s one of our two’s pitchers but got the start on Wednesday and he’ll get the start this Wednesday (against Port Melbourne). “I think he gave up a run in the first inning then went four innings with shut-out pitching and then gave up another couple in the fifth. “Hitting-wise Chad Northcott was exceptional on Wednesday night, as was Matty Howe, once again.” The Giants will face Port Melbourne in another fixture under lights this Wednesday evening in Altona before fronting up for the return clash on the road this Sunday.

Wade Balzer was one of Werribee’s relief pitchers against Mulgrave on Wednesday evening. 76652 Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI

Mucci leaps for triple joy Sunshine & Western Region Sports Club Inc.

Don Deeble

Rising

star By LIAM TWOMEY NOT many athletes have the ability to win three national titles in one day. But then again, not many have the exceptional talents of Celeste Mucci. After proving too quick to catch on the soccer field as a junior, Mucci joined the Altona Little Athletics Club before progressing to the Williamtown Athletics Club. It was there she teamed up with club coach David Jamieson and burning up the track became second nature. Competing at the National Championships in Perth earlier this year, Mucci received her schedule for the day, which included the finals for her hurdles, long jump and high jump events. While some would have been daunted by the hectic program, the Seaholme resident produced her best on the big stage. Mucci claimed gold in all three events. “That was probably the best ex-

perience for me so far,” she said. “That day I found out I had all those events and that they were all going to clash as well. “I won my long jump which gave me a lot of confidence for the rest of my events. I just kept going and it was such a good day,” Mucci said. “I didn’t have any family over in Perth so I was by myself with the team. I called my mum at the end of the day and she couldn’t believe it. She actually didn’t believe me at first.” Not done yet, the 14-year-old also joined her Victorian teammates in capturing gold in the 4x100 relay. In her final event of the program, the 100 metres, Mucci just missed a clean sweep and came second in the final. However, she did run a personal best. “I’ve always lost to that girl by a fair bit but this time it was just by a little bit,” she said. “Hopefully in the next race I’ll be able to get her.” Winning is nothing new for Mucci who has made a habit of finishing first throughout her career. The Williamstown High School student claimed two firsts (hurdles and high jump) and two seconds (long jump and 100m) at the 2013 Victorian Junior Track and Field

Championships. Across a number of events, there has also been gold at the State Multi Event, 2012 ADIDAS All Schools and Secondary School Victorian Sport Association and State Finals. Not surprisingly, Mucci is aiming for even greater success in the future. “I’m happy doing as many events as possible at the moment,” she said. “I might focus on the heptathlon, which is seven events. If not, I’ll just probably go down to the one or two. “I want to represent Australia at a World Junior Championships or at the Commonwealth Games and then maybe Olympics when I’m older.” For her outstanding sporting achievements Mucci has been named this month’s Don Deeble Rising Star nominee. The award is run by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club in conjunction with the Star News Group. Celeste will receive $1000 donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club and other prizes to assist in her future sporting goals. The Don Deeble Rising Star Award recognises young athletes in the Western Suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at a state and national level.

Lauren packs a punch By ADEM SARICAOGLU

KEVIN HILLIER

AFL draft moves things up a notch GREAT to see Werribee’s Ben Brown drafted by North Melbourne and Western Jet James Sicily get his chance at Hawthorn in last week’s AFL draft. Hopefully a few more names will be added Wednesday morning via the rookie draft.

Lauren Camilleri will go to Perth in the hope of qualifying for the 2014 Commonwealth Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI Games in Glasgow. 89933 Having now beaten Harris, who was regarded as the best 51kg fighter in the country, Camilleri admits she is a touch surprised about just how much she’s progressed in the past 12 months. “It’s always been a dream to represent my country and especially to go to the Common-

wealth Games and the Olympics, but I didn’t think I’d be this successful so soon,” Camilleri admitted. “I do believe in myself though and I know I can get there, but after each fight I just surprise myself even more and more.”

I WAS glad to get plenty of feedback from readers regarding my comments last week on money in local senior football. The vast majority are worried that it is killing the game, and turning players into mercenaries, who are playing for the dollars not the love of the game or the jumper. I have no problem with players being paid, but some of the figures being bandied about are ridiculous for suburban football and I fear they are not sustainable. I have also heard that payments are being made to under-18 players, that is just plain wrong and should be stamped out immediately. The problem is, it is a classic ‘he said she said’ and can never be proved. If my mail is correct, a former Priest Medallist might be making a comeback, but not with the club where he won his medal, which is strange for many reasons. THERE seems to be some mixed messages coming out about the Werribee Racing Club. The Werribee Racing Club is saying that the meeting on 15 December is definitely going ahead and that the meeting could have been held earlier this month but it was the right decision to postpone it. What? I also don’t understand why prize-money for the Cup has been increased. Why do you need to increase the prize-money now? Is this a way to placate owners and the jockeys with a dollar incentive? I also believe that the jockeys told officials that the track was not right several weeks ago. I won’t be surprised if the jockeys have a very big say in whether racing actually happens on 15 December. I WAS really happy to launch the new SEN Cricket show ‘Howzat’ last Saturday and have my old mate Billy Birmingham on as our first guest. The show airs every Saturday during summer from 11am till 1pm and features Rodney Hogg, Smokey Dawson and myself talking cricket for two hours. Tickets are still available to hear Hoggy this Wednesday night at the Werribee Sports Club for a special Ashes Dinner. Call Janelle on 9741 9862. BILLY Birmingham has a new best of CD on the market called “Willy Nilly” featuring some of the best moments of the 30 years of the 12th Man. I sent the very first 12th Man record to Richie Benaud to listen to, to give his thoughts for my 3XY radio show. Richie thought it was very funny and my friendship with Billy started then. I marvel at his talent both as a writer and impersonator. As he pointed out on Saturday everyone from kids to females to old blokes now think they can “Do a Richie”. THE Altona Bowls Club held a Sports Night last Saturday and it was a great night. The panel included Cam Mooney, Jason Love, Tony Vasil and Lazar Vidovic. What happens in the room stays in the room, but I can say the insights into the football and racing world were enlightening and entertaining. Jason is back in local footy as the new coach of the Port Melbourne Football Club and I think he will be great for the club. They need a new direction and new faces to get them back to the powerhouse they have been.

GUN Hoppers Crossing boxer Lauren Camilleri now has her eyes firmly set on Glasgow and the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The 23-year-old recently became the Victorian champion in the 51kg weight division after knocking off the highly-rated Kristy Harris in a tense four-round fight. After starting her career at 54kg, Camilleri decided to drop back to 51kg in the hope of qualifying for the Glasgow Games. Having spent some time with Harris at the Australian Institute of Sport, Camilleri knew she had to find a way to beat her in pursuit of her dream to represent Australia. “I had to spar her at the AIS, which was pretty confronting,” Camilleri explained. “I felt I did pretty well considering my experience, but still the nerves got the better of me and then from then on I knew that basically Kristy was the girl that was going to be in my weight class. “I had to work towards beating her because she was the biggest threat, and every step I took this year was to beat her and all my hard work around that eventually paid off.” Camilleri’s win over Harris was by far her best result to date, but it also marked what has been a considerable rise through the ranks after she only gloved up for her first fight little more than a year ago. Next on Camilleri’s radar are the 2014 national championships in Perth, which will serve as a Commonwealth Games qualifier.

’Tis the season for road safety THE Australian Road Safety Foundation is urging all drivers to travel safely and make this season’s road toll zero. Safety Foundation chairman Russell White said most traffic incidents are preventable and all drivers must take responsibility for the road toll. “As always, this Christmas and New Year holiday period we will see an increased police presence on the roads and more road safety messages in the me-

dia, as well initiatives such as Driver Reviver rest stops on our busiest roads. “These measures are significant because research shows that there is no major difference in the daily fatality rate between the Christmas and New Year holiday period and the remainder of the year. “It is important to consider how much worse the holiday fatality rate could be if these additional enforcement, road safety

and fatigue reduction measures were not in place,” said Mr Russell. Australian Road Safety Foundation’s tips for driving safely these holidays: Plan ahead and be flexible - Take a little time to make sure that you and your vehicle are safe before hitting the road. - Plan to avoid the worst peak traffic periods when many highways become congested.

- Allow plenty of time and make the journey part of the holiday. - Schedule regular rest stops. Be alert to changes - Check relevant state traffic and travel information websites or call the relevant number for real time updates about road changes, delays, closures and incidents. Drive to the conditions - This includes your vehicle

you’ll take breaks on your trip. Identify the safest routes - Some routes are safer than others. - You need to know that roadside hazards like trees, ditches, poles and narrow shoulders can increase risk. - Intersections can be dangerous and so can busy roads without a median barrier. Visit www.ntc.gov.au for more information and tips.

and load, the road, weather, traffic conditions, the speed limit and a safe speed may differ and if you are tired or on medication that affects your driving. Watch out for fatigue - Long trips are tiring and fatigue can be deadly behind the wheel. - Plan to get enough rest beforehand and during the trip so that you drive fresh. - Plan in advance where

Punto punts along nicely By EWAN KENNEDY THE new Fiat chiefs of the company, headed up by the dynamically determined Veronica Johns, are determined to make Fiat a full house player, not a fringe player. Not surpassingly the first move by the new Fiat Australia was to dramatically reduce prices. Unlike the oh-so-cute Fiat 500 and the ultra-chic Fiat Panda the Punto is relatively conservative in its shape. That’s a deliberate spread of styles by the designers, and those looking for the driving flair of an Italian machine, but who aren’t into automotive high fashion are already taking Punto seriously. While the overall shape me be on the subtle side, Fiat dealers carry an extensive range of customisation gear so your Punto can take its own direction in the styling stakes. Some of our favourite dressup items are Italian nationalcolours decals on the B-pillars and checkered-flag covers for the door mirrors. How about Fiat embossed covers for the tyre valve caps? True! Despite its low price the entry level Fiat Punto Pop comes with plenty of standard equipment; denim inserts in the seats, a six-speaker radio/CD/ MP3 audio system with steering wheel controls, and the Fiat/Microsoft Blue&Me with

Model range Pop 1.4-litre petrol: $16,000 (manual), $17,500 (automatic); Easy 1.4-litre petrol: $19,300 (automatic); Lounge 1.4-litre petrol: $21,800 (automatic).

Bluetooth and voice activation to minimise driver inattention. Fiat Punto Easy has 15-inch alloy wheels, more stylish dashboard, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, a front seat armrest, and rear parking sensors. The topline Fiat Punto Lounge that we tested comes with 16-inch alloys, sports seats in the front, a soft-touch finish to the dash, climate control air conditioning, ambient lighting and automatic wipers. The engine in the Punto is the basic version of Fiat’s 1.4-litre four-cylinder unit. It has a power output of just 57 kW. Peak torque is 115 Nm at 3250 revs. Gearbox choices are a conventional six-speed manual and the same gearbox in Dualogic format - that is without a clutch pedal as the manual gearbox changes itself. Passive safety is by way of seven airbags on all models with the exception of the Pop, which misses out on a driver’s knee bag. Major active safety items are ESC and ABS. Handling, ah handling, the Italians do it brilliantly!

Neat styling of the latest Fiat Punto looks to be timeless. This may be a conservative looking small car, but it can be hunted along with a great deal of verve on your favourite driving road. It’s light and nimble, the steering can be done on the throttle when you’re really driving, and the feedback through the wheel and the seat of your pants is excellent. As a bonus, the Fiat Punto probably attracts less attention from the police than its look-at-me brothers,

the 500 and Panda. Comfort is surprisingly good when you take into account the sporting nature of the suspension, but it can be taken by surprise over big bumps and hollows. The 57 kilowatt Fiat engine’s no fireball and you have to work at the gearbox to keep things happening. The Dualogic automated manual in our test Punto Lounge generally changed down promptly to get extra engine power.

It has manual overrides should you decide to make your own decisions. As usual with this type of gearbox the changes in the lower gears tend to be jerky. We sampled the full-manual Punto and can report the change action of the manual gearbox is very good; all the more so when you remember it’s a front-drive car. Indeed, it can be fun for those who love their doing their own gear shifting.

Driven sensibly the Punto will use about six to seven litres per 100 kilometres on country roads. This will increase to nine to 11 litres if you’re doing heavyduty commuting. The styling, while neat enough, doesn’t do a lot for us, but it’s likely to remain timeless though, perhaps not quite as timeless as its little brother Fiat 500 Cinquecento - which is heading gleefully towards its 60th birthday.

Frontal styling of the Prado follows a familiar theme, but has a much bolder look than before.

TOYOTA Australia has launched a mid-life upgrade of its top-selling Land Cruiser model. There are significant changes to the exterior and interior of the Prado, as well as improvements to seating access, handling, suspension and 4WD systems. As part of the revamp, Toyota has dropped the three-door Prado. Toyota has increased the forward folding angle of the second row seats by more than 12 per cent which has created an easier entry and exit for the third row occupants. Prado now has four models: GX, a five-seater with optional seven seats, the seven-seat GXL and VX, and top of the range Kakadu. Traditionally GX is favoured by fleet buyers such as Australia’s mining industry. The volume seller in the range is the GXL which has a strong following with private buyers and accounts for around 70 per cent of Prado sales. VX and Kakadu appeal to luxury buyers and are specified accordingly. Prices start from $55,990 for the GX rising to $91,590 for Kakadu. The Prado GX and GXL are distinctly different vehicles from the VX and Kakadu with different suspensions and 4WD systems. The towing rate stays at 2500kg. Engines remain the same with the 202 kW 4.0-litre petrol, and 127 kW/410 Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel. The Prado GX and GXL come standard with a six-speed manual transmission and offer an optional five-speed sequential auto. Prado VX and Kakadu come standard with the automatic transmission. Fuel consumption is officially rated at 8.5 litres

per 100 km from the diesel and 11.5 L/100 km from the petrol. The latest Toyota Prado has a bolder front, courtesy of a five-bar grille atop an oversized bumper. The grille stands out because the fitting has no base with the five bars embedded on the top of the bumper. Prado VX and Kakadu get LED headlights and daytime running lights. The tail light clusters have also been re-designed. The Prado GX and GXL models get 17-inch, six-spoke alloy wheels while VX and Kakadu get 18-inch 12-spoke alloys. There is no change to the vital statistics of size or the offroad handling with the turning circle remaining at 11.6 metres while the approach, departure and ramp over angles are also untouched. Prado has a revised interior with the centre stacker having a new audio panel above the 7-inch full colour screen that shows the reversing camera images. There’s satellite navigation on VX and Kakadu. Prado GX gets manual air conditioning while the others have dual-zone air conditioning. Australia’s grey-nomad community will be pleased with the addition of trailer sway control which assists the driver if a towed vehicle such as a caravan becomes unsettled. Prado has seven airbags, stability and traction control, an emergency brake signal that automatically flashes the stop lights to warn other motorists and a rear view camera. While the previous model Kakadu had a system that offered off-road settings of rock, mogul, loose rock and mud and sand, the system now has a fifth setting - rock and dirt. This gives more traction control on slippery rocks when ascending hills.

This system works only in low range and the driver simply switches between modes with the selected mode being shown in the instrument cluster on a new 4.2-inch colour information display between the speedo and tachometer. Prado Kakadu has a forward looking wide angle camera lens with images showing on the 7-inch screen that gives a front-of-bonnet view of what’s ahead. VX and Kakadu models use a different Australiandeveloped suspension system than GX and GXL. Toyota purchased the rights to use the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System from a Western Australia company. This new model has an improved version of the technology which benefits handling stability and ride comfort with smoother front-rear weight transfer during cornering. The system enables the stabiliser bars to loosen for offroad work giving longer wheel articulation and then tightens the bars for smoother turning on-road. Although the Prado GX and GXL have different suspension set ups to VX and Kakadu the differences are only marked when at the extremes: in difficult off-road conditions and cornering on-road. In ‘normal’ driving both systems cope well with the hefty weight of Prado - the lightest variant is 2205 kg while Kakadu tips the scales at 2435 kg. On road, the Kakadu is smoother around the bends than the GXL and seems to sit flatter. Model range From GX 3.0-litre turbodiesel five-seat 4WD wagon: $55,990 (manual), $58,690 (automatic) to Kakadu 3.0-litre turbodiesel seven-seat 4WD wagon: $92,590 (automatic)
