West’s own Game of Thrones A casting call to arms has gone out for fantasy film Order of the Wolf Wolf.

Newport actor Tim Ferris, who has appeared in films and TV series including Underbelly, City Homicide and Rush, stars in the film.

Cast and crew are being sought for the movie, which will be shot by Newport cinematographer Jerry Creaney in July and August at locations in and around Melbourne and central Victoria.

Creaney’s son Ryan, who sells his novellas on Amazon, wrote the film script for his father’s movie. Ryan’s work has a huge cult following in the US. Ferris says the film revolves around a battle to obtain the True Cross, a relic bringing power and wealth to those who possess it. “It’s very Game of Thrones,” he said. “I hope that’s not too ambitious to speak of the project like that.”

Jerry Creaney is crowdfunding to raise about half the film’s budget. Funds would be used for costumes, to secure locations and pay actors and crew.

Cr Hemphill said the project, which may include four-storey flyovers across the top of the freeway, could have significant impacts on Spotswood, South Kingsville and Altona North residents as well as people travelling in and out of Williamstown and Newport in peak hours.

“We’ve been given four to five weeks to respond to a project that could have ramifications for the community for decades to come.”

Maribyrnong councillor Martin Zakharov said he was confident the project would deliver a good outcome for his municipality.

“Not all of us here in Melbourne will be gaining from it, but certainly the City of

Maribyrnong will,” he said. Cr Zakharov’s colleagues had mixed responses to the distributor’s likely impacts: Councillors Michael Clarke and Sarah Carter said a lot of detail needed to be worked through, but the project offered a way forward.

Cr Cameron McDonald said the distributor would link freeways and get trucks off roads, but the Hyde Street ramps needed to be on the Hobsons Bay side of the bridge.

Cr Catherine Cumming said the project failed to deliver anything to Footscray or neighbouring councils. “Buckley Street will remain the same, trucks buzzing straight down ■ CONTINUED

A $5.5 billion tollway linking Melbourne’s west with the city is being rushed through without adequate detail or consultation, according to Hobsons Bay’s mayor.

Cr Peter Hemphill said the council was being forced to take a position on the Western Distributor project with too little information or time to make an informed decision.

The criticism follows the 4-3 vote by Maribyrnong councillors last week to offer in-principle support to Transurban’s project, provided a number of key conditions were met.

ALP councillors squeezed the motion through with the support of mayor Cameron

McDonald. Independent councillors Grant Miles, Nam Quach and Catherine Cumming voted against the project, arguing it could increase heavy truck traffic on Footscray’s residential streets.

Cr Hemphill said the Western Distributor would impact residents, commuters, sports clubs and businesses, yet “a distinct lack of information” was being provided.

“The council is being placed in the ridiculous situation of having to make a decision on its preferred option by mid-June, but we still need a lot of information from Transurban and the government to protect our community’s interests,” he said. “I don’t think we should be rushed to make a snap decision because 1219971-HM10-16

Claims are just nuts, says truckie

By Benjamin Millar The driver of a truck criticised for driving through Footscray with spiked wheel nut covers has hit back at claims he is a danger on the roads.

Star Weekly reported comments last week by Maribyrnong councillor Michael Clarke that the ‘Mad Max’ truck should be confiscated and the driver’s licence cancelled.

But the truck’s owner-driver, Will Stan, said Cr Clarke had damaged his reputation and threatened his livelihood without checking his facts.

Mr Stan, 22, said the wheel nut covers were

made of plastic and would shatter with any contact.

“My main concerns are what he said about the spiked nut covers and how he has made me look in the eyes of the public,” Mr Stan said.

He said the spiked nut covers, chosen to co-ordinate with the star pattern of his rig, sit within the legal dimensions of the truck.

He said he had driven with them for 18 months, passing all applicable inspections and receiving all relevant roadworthy certificates.

Cr Clarke last week said the nut covers posed a danger to cyclists.

His comments were met with scorn and ridicule on social media pages popular with the

transport industry. Mr Stan also countered the claim, noting the handlebars on any bicycle or motorbike would be the first thing to strike a truck before there was any chance of the nut covers making contact with a rider.

He said he had a blemish-free driving record and the accusations were stressful and disheartening.

“I’m a safe driver and there is no reason to be scared of me,” he said.

“There are repercussions for what he has said . . . I’m having my future in the company I sub-contract for questioned over this.

“It’s really hit me hard and caused me a lot of stress. They’re just shiny bits of plastic.”

Exhibition puts Footscray into focus A five-year photographic project charting the changing face of Footscray is coming to a close.

The ‘f5: Footscray in Transition’ project has involved five photographers capturing the fast-paced urban, environmental, social and cultural changes in Footscray since 2011.

Each year a new photographer chosen by Maribyrnong City Council has interpreted 10 familiar landmarks in Footscray including the

Nicholson Street Bridge, Footscray Station, Little Saigon and Nicholson Street Mall.

Photographers Karenne Rees, Grant Hobson, Pierre Vairo, James Voller and now Yarraville’s Kip Scott have each put their own creative touch on the project.

An exhibition at Footscray Community Arts Centre this week will feature 11 large photographic prints and a three-minute video

by Scott, along with two photos from each of the previous project artists.

The show opens 6-8pm Thursday and closes June 11. An artist conversation will be held 2-3.30pm Saturday, June 4. The council will also publish a 60-page colour catalogue, comprising works and statements by each artist.

Two adjoining Williamstown properties leased to three banks have sold to an investor at auction for $11.34 million.

The single-storey properties at 48-50 and 52-56 Douglas Parade are leased to the Commonwealth Bank, ANZ and Bank of Melbourne.

Fitzroys real estate had expected the bank freeholds to sell for more than $10 million and accurately predicted they were likely to be purchased by one buyer.

The two buildings were sold at separate auctions this month and each property had received more than 100 buyer inquiries.

The property leased to the CBA sold for $4.515 million while the second property went for $6.825 million.

Fitzroys agent James Gregson said interest in the properties and the auction results reflected the rarity of such an investment holding.

“The properties feature three new long leases to CBA, ANZ and Bank of Melbourne, significant long-term development upside, and are directly opposite to a top-performing Coles supermarket, in undisputedly the best retail location in Williamstown,” he said.

“Despite up to 10 bidders competing for both assets, the one buyer secured both properties, seeing a rare opportunity to have three adjoining banks in the portfolio coupled with excellent future development potential.”

The combined land area is 950 square metres and combined returns on the properties is $438,000 a year plus outgoings and GST. Goya Dmytryshchak

The dark humor of Dust

By Goya Dmytryshchak Australian rock legend Mark Seymour and a 64-member choir will help launch a book by Newport’s Donna Jackson about asbestos-related illness and social change through the arts.

Jackson’s book, Art and Social Change – Dust: A Case Study Study, will be launched by arts stalwart Robyn Archer at next month’s Williamstown Literary Festival.

The book documents the genesis of Jackson’s Dust stage production and how art can be more than light entertainment.

Her interest in asbestos stemmed from a chance meeting at Scienceworks in 2006.

“I met a bricklayer whose name is Ron Patton and he told me that he’d been to six funerals in six months of friends who’d been diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases,” Jackson said.

“I was surprised to find out that there were people from all different backgrounds, not just people in the building industry … that there were people who were renovating houses, pulling up carpet or fixing up bathrooms. And that they were exposed to asbestos … just by one fibre they could become really sick and become ill with a disease called mesothelioma and die.

“I was talking more to Ron Patton … he seemed to have a bit of a dark sense of humour.

He told me a story about building crematoriums with bricks and that was one of the ways that he was exposed to asbestos.

“He told me when he died he wanted to go into one of these kilns that he’d built at a crematorium with a lid off the coffin so he could admire his brickwork as he was cremated.”

Jackson was inspired by Mr Patton’s dark sense of humour and resilience to create the theatre production Dust, which had seven

successful seasons from 2008 to 2013. Seymour composed seven of the show’s eight songs.

Jackson’s book, which includes music from the show, has been distributed to 250 schools statewide.

Art and Social Change – Dust: A Case Study will be launched as the feature closing event of the Williamstown Literary Festival.

Seymour will perform, along with actor Jane Bayly, the Willin Wimmin and Victorian Trade Union choirs and local singers.

The event, with entry by gold coin donation, will run from 6-7.30pm on June 19 at Williamstown Town Hall. Bookings are required. For more information, visit www. willylitfest.org.au.

it,” she said. “I believe it does nothing for our neighbours. If anything it grinds Hobsons Bay to a halt. It shouldn’t be us pitted against Hobsons Bay.” Cr Grant Miles said too many issues didn’t stack up, including the potential loss of open space at Stony Creek and loss of Footscray and Yarraville river frontage to a new bridge crossing.

“The crux for me is pretty much throwing Footscray to the wolves in terms of a lack of curfews,” he said. “It’s worse than nothing for the people of Footscray. Why on earth would a truck driver pay $13 to use this tunnel when he can go on Buckley Street for free?”

Cr Nam Quach said the proposal made Footscray the path of least resistance for truck traffic.

A spokeswoman for Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said the Western Distributor design was being developed through comprehensive community and industry consultation, ongoing technical work and “a robust planning process”.

“The project will create a safe and efficient transport connection, providing direct access to the port to take trucks off local roads while minimising the impact on the local community,” she said. “The business case found the project will provide value for money, delivering an $11 billion boost to Victoria’s economy and creating 5600 jobs at the peak of construction.”

Pets put bite on owners

By Alexandra Laskie Dog, cat and rabbit bites accounted for almost 140 admissions to Western Health’s emergency departments over two years, according to a new research report.

Doctors Brian Yue and Jeanette Ting reviewed patients who presented with animal bite injuries to eight Victorian emergency departments – the Alfred, Austin, Royal Melbourne, Frankston, Monash Medical Centre, St Vincent’s and Western Health hospitals Footscray and Sunshine – in the 2012 and 2013 calendar years.

Dr Yue said of the 138 people admitted to either Sunshine or Footscray hospital emergency departments in the two-year period, almost 40 per cent were aged under 18. “It is quite a lot,” he said.

But the plastic surgery registrar said it was unfair to make a comparison with other hospitals in the study because of the varying demographic make-up of each hospital’s catchment.

“The figure is quite high, but we can’t say this is a significant difference [to other hospitals] because Sunshine and Footscray could have a greater paediatric population,” Dr Yue said.

“But in absolute numbers, this is not a small number.”

Dr Yue said that in the two years, 50 children aged under 18 presented to Western Health’s emergency departments with animal bites; 33 were inflicted by dogs, 15 by cats and two by rabbits.

The study, conducted with the assistance of four plastic surgeons and published in the Medical Journal of Australia, found that animal bites are common in Australia and their treatment is a substantial public health burden.

Prior to this study, there had been few investigations into the number of patients with animal bites admitted to hospital or the number requiring surgery.

‘‘

In absolute numbers, this is not a small number

’’

- Brian Yue

The findings reveal almost 720 people were presented to an emergency department across the eight hospitals in the two years.

The average age of patients was 36 and about 60 per cent of cases involved bites to the upper limbs. Half of all patients admitted to hospital required surgery. Most presented to an emergency department within 24 hours of the injury.

About half of all cases admitted to hospital were administered with intravenous antibiotics.

The study found that almost all bites sustained by children under 15 were dog bites, with 63 per cent of those to the head and neck.

Males were more likely to sustain dog-bite injuries, while cat bites were most common with middle-aged women.

By ’G, it’s a rough night Laverton’s Stephanie Hartnup will spend a night sleeping rough at the MCG to raise money for Melbourne City Mission’s support services for homeless youth.

The teacher will be among more than 1000 people sleeping in cardboard boxes as part of the Sleep at the ’G fundraising event on May 26.

It will be the fourth time that Ms Hartnup, 24, has taken part in the event.

“I just feel the need to be able to help those who might not necessarily be able to help themselves,” she said.

“There may be people that are less fortunate and I’m in a position where I am able to help.

Definitely, at my age, youth homeless is a real

issue, so I can definitely connect with people in my environment who are affected by youth homelessness.”

Every night in Victoria, more than 6000 young people couch surf or sleep rough.

Melbourne City Mission says homelessness is one of the most severe forms of disadvantage and social exclusion for a person, and it’s frightening and traumatic for young people.

Ms Hartnup has raised almost $600 so far, mainly by running a pop-up car wash with her partner.

Volunteers who lend support to Multiple Sclerosis Limited have been recognised with a special morning tea as part of National Volunteer Week.

The morning tea at Footscray last week paid tribute to those who give their time to help support people living with MS, a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system.

Multiple Sclerosis Limited chief executive Robyn Hunter said National Volunteer Week recognised the great contribution made by more than six million Australians who generously donate more than 700 million hours of service each year.

“At MS, we have 4256 volunteers who contributed over 139,062 hours in the last financial year,” she said.

Ms Hunter said participants and volunteers were being sought for the annual MS Walk and Fun Run in Albert Park on Sunday, June 5.

“The event raises critical funds to ensure no one with this chronic disease undertakes the journey alone,” she said.

Grant puts trail work on track

By Goya Dmytryshchak The state government on Friday announced it would contribute $650,000 towards a 3.2 kilometre section of the Kororoit Creek Trail, which will eventually link the Altona Coastal Park with Brooklyn.

The government’s contribution will help build a section of the shared bike and pedestrian trail between the Princes Freeway and Barnes Road at Altona North.

Hobsons Bay mayor Peter Hemphill said the council was awaiting news on a federal government grant for a further 4.3 kilometres

of trail to be built, completing the last section of a 7.5 kilometre “missing link”.

“This new section of trail connects to the north with the Federation Trail and will provide a vital connection through Melbourne’s west, as well as important links for the Altona, Altona North and Brooklyn communities to walk and cycle to work, home or any number of places while avoiding busy roads,” he said.

“I’d like to thank the state government for contributing to this vital link in our trail network – a trail that, once complete, will attract an estimated 5000 journeys a week by commuters, recreational cyclists and joggers.”

Altona MP Jill Hennessy said the trail was a vital project for Melbourne’s west, “one which will improve access to open space and increase opportunities for physical activity and social connectedness across our whole community”.

Toyota Australia last year contributed $1.8 million to build a 2.5 kilometre section of the trail.

The creek is a winter home for the endangered swift parrot and its rejuvenation has resulted in the return of more than 110 bird species.

Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek (FOLKC) president, Geoff Mitchelmore, said the latest funding was fantastic news.

“The completion of the trail to Cherry Lake from Geelong Road has been FOLKC’s goal since its inception in 2001 and is a fantastic result for the community,” he said.

“Now all we need is for the federal government to kick in the necessary funding for the last two sections linking Barnes Road to Cherry Lake.

“Hobsons Bay City Council has applied for this funding and hopefully this announcement by the state government will stimulate action to complete our long-awaited connection.”

The council aims to complete the trail over the next decade.

Mystery inspires author An unsolved mystery that rattled 1950s Melbourne is the inspiration for a new novel by a Yarraville writer.

Janice Simpson’s first crime novel, Murder in Mt Martha, began its journey as a non-fiction investigation into the discovery of the brutally mutilated body of 14-year-old Shirley May Collins on the Mornington Peninsula in 1953.

Police conducted a massive manhunt and interviewed hundreds of people but the case remained unsolved.

“I actually began writing about it in a non-fiction way, but realised I wasn’t making any headway so I let my imagination run with it,” Simpson said. “It needed to be fictionalised.”

Murder in Mt Martha carries readers back and forth between the events of 1953 and today when the central character, Nick Szabo, comes across an old newspaper clipping and begins to dig deeper into the case.

“It got massive coverage because it was so brutal and a 14-year-old girl,” Simpson said.

“They never charged anyone.”

Simpson said to get into the mind of the murderer for her “crime noir” she spent a lot of time researching sociopaths and psychopaths.

“It’s not a whodunit in the traditional sense, you find out early who it is,” she said.

“The point is finding out how this could happen.”

Murder in Mt Martha is a change of direction from Simpson’s previous books, which include a travel memoir about her bicycle trip from Paris to Istanbul (Let Sleeping Dogs Lie) and a book about the singles industry (All the Good Ones Aren’t Taken).

Refugees face racism, sexism

By Benjamin Millar Racism, sexism and exploitation by training providers are key barriers for refugee and migrant women seeking work, a study has found.

More than 60 women from Melbourne’s west took part in the 10-month research project by Footscray-based Women’s Health West, in partnership with Victoria University.

The report – Promoting Economic Participation and Equity for Women from Refugee and Migrant Backgrounds – found

systemic racism, gender roles and inadequate vocational training all limit the women’s economic participation in Australia.

Participants included Tibetan women, Oromo women from Ethiopia, Karen women from Myanmar, South Sudanese women and Farsi-speaking women from Afghanistan and Iran.

Women’s Health West chief executive Dr Robyn Gregory said the report, released last week, made 15 recommendations to help reduce the barriers facing migrant and refugee women in Australia.

“The ability for women to participate in paid employment, run small businesses, engage in training and education, as well as access financial services, is closely linked to their ability to be an active contributor to Australian society,” she said.

Dr Gregory said improved investment was needed in accessible education and training targeted at increasing the economic participation of migrant and refugee women.

“The report has also recognised the need for greater regulation of registered training organisations to put an end to exploitative

practices that have targeted migrant and refugee women.”

It found refugee and migrant women often encountered additional barriers because of their limited English, poor access to education and training and a lack of affordable care for children or family members.

Recommendations included more free English classes, funding for programs tackling racism and promoting women’s rights, stricter regulations for training organisations and research into Muslim women’s experiences of discrimination when trying to find work.

Be generous, say Dogs Bulldogs players Zaine Cordy and Nathan Hrovat (pictured inset) are urging footy fans and anyone else who can to get behind The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal.

The pair have been helping coach children under the care of The Salvation Army Westcare, an organisation providing support and services to children in the western suburbs who aren’t able to live with their families.

They are urging people to dig deep this weekend and help the appeal raise $74 million across the country to continue the support of more than one million Australians in need.

The Salvation Army helps about 2000 people each night with crisis accommodation, emotional support and essential supplies such as food and blankets.

Funds raised through the Red Shield Appeal go directly to The Salvation Army’s social and community service programs, which includes helping prevent those on the brink of homelessness.

Delicious!

Salvation Army captain Matthew Kean, who runs the Second Gear op shop in Altona, urged people to volunteer their time during the Red Shield Appeal doorknock weekend.

“At the op shop, we see a lot of the community come in and out of the store,” he said. “More and more people are coming to us for help and unemployment is one of the biggest reasons.

“The Hobsons Bay community is really generous and a lot of people try to help.”

A mum shares son’s drug fight

By Goya Dmytryshchak

‘‘

We stopped trying to be hyper-vigilant about every – Jane single little aspect

Almost two years ago, a Williamstown couple faced one of the biggest crises of their lives when their son had a severe psychotic episode as a result of drug use.

Jane (not her real name) said her son, then 21, had been using a range of drugs.

“Probably magic mushrooms, MDMA, a lot of cannabis, and it had been going on for a long time,” she said. “[My husband and I] both took carer’s leave . . . and ended up involved with him in youth mental health services.

“But we were struggling all the time because he continued to use substances in that time.

“Mostly for him, it was cannabis.”

Jane and her husband decided to attend a series of free information sessions being held for the first time at Footscray. They offered coping strategies for families affected by a loved one’s drug use.

Run by Family Drug Support, the Stepping Forward sessions were a breakthrough for the couple.

“My husband and I are both professionals and consider ourselves pretty well informed, but we learnt a heck of a lot,” Jane said.

“It was a lot of understanding about communication with the person who has a dependence, a lot of the language . . . you don’t talk about addiction, you talk about dependence. You actually need to think about yourself in this.

“It’s quite difficult to change that person and often the whole environment is charged with a lot of emotional anxiety, anger, grief, fear, you name it.

“You want to know why . . . why is it our family, why is it my son, he’s a beautiful boy?

Emotionally, you’re an absolute wreck.”

Jane said Stepping Forward had helped her and her husband gain perspective, learn different approaches and understand what was happening with their son.

“It’s very hard, but we stopped trying to be hyper-vigilant about every single little aspect of his life,” she said.

“We had to let go of certain things, which intuitively you don’t want to do.

“But in a sense it’s about saying this is his journey and in a way you have to be respectful of that whether you like it or not, and you also have to look after yourself.

“It’s really about recognising that I’m not in a position to fix this situation, so what can I do that looks after me.

“I think it helped us to put some boundaries in place for us around our son, and some

expectations. Right now, he’s actually not using.

“He’s in a really good place and he’s returned to tertiary studies.”

Three Stepping Forward sessions will be held next month at Western Health Drug Services, 3-7 Eleanor Street, Footscray.

Asylum heat on Labor

Hospital cuts spur petition

By Goya Dmytryshchak Western suburbs asylum seeker advocacy groups and sympathetic churches are banding together to send Labor a message ahead of July’s federal election.

Williamstown’s Dorothy Page, who co-founded the Hobsons Bay Refugee Network, said she would cast a protest vote against Labor over its “cruel” asylum-seeker policies.

“I’ve voted Labor all my life, unquestioningly you could say, but unless they do something I’m not going to vote for them,” she said.

“I think there are a lot of people who are going towards the Greens because they don’t want to vote with either of the others.

The government really doesn’t understand what the electorate’s thinking about asylum seekers.”

A growing list of Labor MPs and candidates have criticised ALP asylum-seeker policies.

Father Greg Trythall of St Mary’s Catholic Church in Williamstown said asylum seekers would be a political issue for years.

“I have visited the Middle East in recent years, especially Syria,” he said.

“Certain politicians need to visit some of these countries where refugees come from and realise the need of so many to protect their families and their own future by fleeing to a safe land full of potential opportunities.

“At the moment, some too-influential politicians have short-ranged vision.

“They need some better glasses to see a bigger picture for improvement of life of people in need.

“If they could visit some of the countries where refugees flee from I am sure they would end up with far more compassion.”

Asylum-seeker supporters Dorothy Page, Ann Morrow, Janet Howie, Mark Northwest and Father Greg Trythall from St Mary’s. (Joe Mastroianni)

Federal Gellibrand MP Tim Watts said he supported ALP policy on the detention of asylum seeker applicants in offshore facilities.

“There are no simple answers and people of good faith can and will disagree about the

best approach,” the Labor MP said. “Labor has a clear and unequivocal position – we will not put the people smugglers back in business.

“This position was determined at the Labor national conference and I support it.”

Footscray Hospital supporters are demanding a reversal to the federal government’s multi-billion dollar cuts to public hospitals and health services.

An online petition started by Monika Thomas cites estimates by activist group GetUp that suggest Footscray Hospital stands to lose more than $1 billion in federal funding in the next decade.

More than 450 people have signed the petition, urging a reversal of $54 billion in hospital and healthcare cuts.

“These enormous funding cuts come at a time when the Australian Medical Association and Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation are warning of an imminent crisis unless hospital funding is increased,” the petition says.

“They could mean fewer doctors, nurses, or beds, and longer emergency room and elective surgery wait times.”

The $1039 million projected funding loss at Footscray Hospital was calculated by dividing the amount of funding to be lost in Victoria by the number of beds in the hospital.

Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley said the GetUp campaign was out of date, factually incorrect and a deliberate attempt to mislead voters.

“The Coalition has publicly committed to investing over $23 billion to Victoria’s hospitals over five years, yet GetUp has deliberately kept this fact from residents in the west,” she said.

Superannuation is one of your biggest assets. Used well it can fund your life and can protect what you are working hard for now and in the future.

MY PLACE Overseas travel may have opened her eyes to all that the world has to offer, but West Footscray artist Heidi Weber tells Benjamin Millar that little treasures can be found at every local turn.

What’s your connection with West Footscray?

felt like the universe was telling us something.

With Kelly’s skills in textiles and sewing and mine in illustration, along with our common love of fashion, Heavenly Creatures was born.

The brand has since been taken over by young Melbourne designer Alexandra Meehan.

We moved to West Footscray when we were expecting our first child, almost 11 years ago.

The kids have been through crèche, kinder and school here so we feel very connected to the community.

What can you tell us about your art and this forthcoming exhibition at Post Industrial Design?

What do you like best about living here?

The people. I love that you can’t walk down the street without seeing someone you know, that a quick trip to Sims is impossible due to all the social catch-ups. I love that we live a minute’s walk from school and the kids socialise with a melting pot of nationalities. I love living so close to great and eclectic food and coffee.

The exhibition at PID brings together a few of my loves. Firstly portraiture, I love to draw and paint interesting faces that tell a story.

Second, I have drawn from my love of fashion and have incorporated textiles, stitching and beadwork into each piece. And finally my love for collecting is represented. I’m always on the lookout for treasures, be it on the beach, in antiques shops or on the side of the road.

What could make it better?

A wine bar.

Who or what has been the biggest inspiration in your life?

Has this area shaped who you are?

It certainly has. My three kids have been born in this suburb along with my children’s clothing label, Heavenly Creatures. Subsequently I have made lifelong friends and an incredible support network..

Travel has been my biggest inspiration. I moved to London when I was 22 and spent a lot of my 20s on various adventures around the globe.

Tell us about Heavenly Creatures.

POD@PID for great food and atmosphere.

After a long stint in the corporate world, it seemed the perfect time to make a change when I became pregnant with my first child. My great mate Kelly Duckworth and I had always talked about doing a creative project together and when she became pregnant at the same time we

All the good had gone: MP

OPEN

By Richard Willingham/The Age

(Scott Barbour/Fairfax Media)

All the goodness in former police minister Wade Noonan’s life had been drained; he could no longer find enjoyment in anything.

So the Williamstown MP took three months’ leave in February to deal with the “human misery and suffering” his work had exposed him to.

He returned to work on Monday but he is no longer police minister, instead he has been sworn in as Minister for Employment, Industry and Resources.

There was no one incident that triggered Mr Noonan’s trauma, but he traces its origins to the height of the ambulance crisis, when Labor was in opposition, when he met families of children who had died waiting for ambulances.

In some cases these people became “treasured friends”, and Mr Noonan carried their grief as he became police minister.

Firefighters suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often talk about their bucket of trauma gradually filling up over time, and when it is full, PTSD takes over.

For Mr Noonan the exposure to “unspeakable crimes, a level of detail that the public doesn’t see” as police minister began to fill his bucket.

It was the “accumulation of events”, he says, that began with that work in opposition.

“All the goodness had drained out of my life, and I couldn’t find any enjoyment in anything,” Mr Noonan said.

Upon taking leave, and reading stories of journalists’ experience of dealing with human misery, he discovered that he was suffering

WADE NOONAN

from vicarious trauma. This trauma shares symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder including anxiety, depression, irritability and insomnia.

So he sought help, took up new hobbies, spent more time with his family and tried to focus on the good things in life.

“I had an awareness that things weren’t right, I was determined not to get to a crisis point,” he said.

“I did consider quitting, not just quitting the ministry but walking away from politics.”

But returning to work was a critical part of his recovery, so his press conference with the Premier and new Police Minister Lisa Neville this week was a major milestone in his progress.

His public comments about mental health have stimulated more conversations in the police force about dealing with trauma.

Charcoal chicken does go unacknowledged for its central role in Australian life. I even think it’s a strong contender for our national dish.

But in other ways, to speak of a comeback is silly as charcoal chicken has gone nowhere.

On the downside, I find such ruminations a little disturbing as they conjure up visions of hipsterised charcoal poultry with fussy, over-priced side dishes and a food genre stripped of the spunk that makes it such a favourite.

Never mind, there will always be places that do it right … places such as Pier Street Charcoal Chicken.

Everything about this place is old school – the furniture, the salad line-up, the menu, the locals coming and going at a rapid rate.

The food, too, is old school – and very, very good.

This is peak charcoal chicken.

The coleslaw is fine, and more finely chopped than is often the case.

The chips are fresh out of the frier and beaut.

The tub of steaming hot gravy is wonderful for chip dipping.

I envisaged that the gravy would be super for dipping the dry breast meat, too.

This proves to be a pleasurable truth – but one that is completely unnecessary. Here, the breast meat is moist and tender.

Yes – tender! Which is very unusual and

CHARCOAL CHICKEN AT ITS BEST

to be wildly applauded. The rest of chicken is equally fine.

This half-a-bird meal, including a soft drink, costs me a handful of cents above $14.

And … it has been served on real crockery attended by metal cutlery.

A D V E R T I S I N G

Childhood spots can leave a mark for life Not that long ago, chicken pox was as common as Vegemite on toast. It was considered almost a rite of passage for children and, in fact, parents would happily take a healthy young child to a chicken pox party to ‘catch’ the itchy blisters from someone else’s poor kid.

To get it over and done with was the rationale, as well as the knowledge that the older the child, usually the worse the dose.

Of course, we now know that chicken pox can have serious consequences, especially for children and adults who have compromised immune systems, and equally for those moving into old age.

Those childhood blister-critters are the precursors to shingles decades later. Only if you’ve had chicken pox can the virus, which stays in nerve cells near the spine, become active again. We may not recall having chicken pox because it was a mild dose, but if shingles bite – on the face, chest, back, abdomen or pelvis – we can be sure we did have it.

These days, children get vaccinated for chicken pox, along with their measles-mumps jab, which explains why we no longer hear much about it.

This is an excellent thing, considering the damage shingles can wreak when we’re much older (especially over-80s) – and it’s not just the heavy-duty stabbing pain sufferers report. The herpes zoster infection (shingles) can cause deadly pneumonia in older patients.

But another nasty is called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a condition where acute pain continues after the shingles have cleared up. PHN can be a highly distressing and debilitating condition that can negatively affect a person’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing – and treatment is tricky.

The best treatment is prevention. In order to have the best chance of preventing PHN, patients and their doctors must act early once shingles erupts. The best therapy option is treatment with anti-viral agents.

This is sometimes very difficult as many patients, and even some doctors, may not know how to recognise the condition as shingles in the early stages.

However, in order for antiviral therapy to be effective, it must be administrated in the first 48 hours, at the latest 72 hours, from the onset of the rash.

So if even a mildly painful rash appears, run – don’t walk – to the doc’s because chicken pox and shingles is enough in one lifetime.

And don’t stress because that can trigger shingles.

Price: $510,000 – $560,000

This older house has potential for a makeover, but the real asset here is the good-sized block that measures about 600 square metres. It’s an ideal development site, subject to council approval, and has potential for constructing three townhouses. The house is fine to live in as is, but will need a bit of elbow grease to bring it up to modern expectations. Four large bedrooms, plus a study, make it a good size for a family. The lounge room at the front has floorboards and a gas heater set in an original fireplace and connects with the kitchen-meals room which has a gas cooker. The big backyard has substantial shedding.

The property is close to Victoria University and Footscray Park.

SPORT Merciless Magic goes on a goal spree The chase is starting to look daunting for Altona Magic’s rivals in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 1.

The Magic has opened up a whopping seven-point lead at the top of the ladder and the season is a mere eight rounds old.

A merciless Magic put Westgate to the sword in a 5-0 thrashing at Paisley Park Soccer Complex on Saturday evening.

The three points were in the bag at half-time with the Magic going to the break with a three-goal advantage and then rubbing further salt into the visitors’ wounds in the second half.

Adamson Ajayi is scoring for fun these days.

Ajayi produced a hat-trick to make it five goals

in the past two matches. He is averaging a goal a game for the season.

Ben Clarke fired in a double to make it five goals in eight games.

For Magic goalkeeper Ante Loncaric, it was a sixth clean sheet.

The Magic has scored more goals than any other side and conceded the fewest, hence their league-best goal difference of plus 18.

The Magic players have a tricky encounter with Keilor Park to negotiate on Saturday, but in this form, who can stop them?

Yarraville Glory came from a goal down at half-time to draw 1-1 with Cairnlea at McIvor Reserve.

As is so often the case, Goran Jozeljic found the back of the net for the Glory.

Altona East Phoenix put up a good fight against Preston Lions away at BT Connor Reserve before losing 2-1.

In state league 2, Altona City’s rough trot continued in a 2-1 loss to Moreland United at Kim Reserve.

City has slumped to third-last on the back of three consecutive losses.

A trip to title-contending Essendon United on Saturday appears to offer little respite for City.

Lance Jenkinson

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ There

have been many memorable games at the Whitten Oval over the years but last Saturday’s interleague game between the WRFL and the Ballarat Football League was a beauty.

The final result was a three-point win to the home team with a goal from Werribee Districts’ Andrew Panayi just seconds before the final siren. If you thought representative football meant nothing to the players, think again. The elation and disappointment shown by both winners and losers said it all. The game was hard and played in great spirit with no malice whatsoever. The concept of the AFL Victoria Community Challenge seems to be a winner, judging by this and other weekend results. As a showcase of senior and under-19 talent, it was well worthwhile.

Maybe the WRFL could look at a bye for all divisions for these games to get the full support of the region.

■ The

Big V gets a run this weekend when the VFL state team travels to Adelaide to take on the SANFL. While this game does not have the romance of the good old days when the Vics took on the Croweaters, it is an important game. Williamstown’s Andy Collins is the coach and state pride still means a lot at any level of football.

Werribee, Williamstown and Footscray have players in the squad, which will be trimmed this week in preparation for the game on Sunday. Whoever gets to don the Big V will do so with pride and commitment. Let’s hope the boys stick it right up them.

■ Wyndhamvale

Football Club – hot on the heels of its first win in Division 1 and its legends game last weekend – has its Past Players and Officials day when it hosts Altona on Saturday.

The club also has three players in the senior interleague side and one in the under-19s. There’s no doubt the Falcons are heading in the right direction.

Third time’s the charm

By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown young gun Jack Dorgan has been to hell and back three times in his football career.

No one would have thought any less of the 22-year-old if he decided to pull the pin after a third knee reconstruction.

The support of his Seagulls teammates and club support staff made the decision to return a whole lot easier.

“You sometimes begin to feel like a shadow in the football club,” Dorgan told Star Weekly.

“Your mates just pick you up every week and when you go and watch your team play such a good class of footy each week, you know why you’re still there.

“It’s tough, it obviously has its moments, but you work through it.

“We’ve got such good physios at the club, they’ve helped me through it each one at a time.”

Dorgan sat through last year’s Seagulls senior and development league premierships.

He would have been part of one of those sides had he not been on the injury list.

It made for a bittersweet feeling on grand final day, but also confirmed in his mind why

he wanted to get back in the blue and gold.

“It’s always tough sitting back and watching your best mates go out there and win a flag, but I was so happy that they won it,” Dorgan said.

“There’s people like Ben Jolley and Cam Lockwood who have been there for years and deserve it more than anyone.

“I just thought I’d love to be a part of that and this is a window of success for Williamstown and no better time to be a part of it.

“It’s obviously the right club to be around at the right time and the people that are at the club keep you there every year, the coaching staff, players and support staff.”

Dorgan has not only made a successful return to the playing field, but has already shown glimpses of career-best form.

Williamstown has rushed to extend his contract until the end of 2017 and he was last week named into the extended squad for the VFL’s clash with the SANFL this weekend.

It is a lot more than Dorgan expected on his return.

“I sort of expected to have the majority of the first half of the season coming through the twos,” the wingman/half forward said. “‘Collo’ [Seagulls coach Andy Collins] said

to me that he wants me to ease into it and my goal this year was to play footy, find my love for it again and enjoy it because I know how much time I’ve spent away from the game.

“I was lucky enough to get an early call up into the seniors and sort of held on to the opportunity that Collo’s kept giving me.”

Dorgan will know this week if he made the cut for the VFL representative team. The squad of 25 will be trimmed back to 23, but he was just thrilled to have made the extended squad.

“When I saw that I had to read it twice,” Dorgan said.

“There’s a lot of players out there I have somehow snuck in front of, but if I get the opportunity to play with the top VFL players, that would be amazing.”

Dorgan got his start in football in the juniors at Hoppers Crossing.

It was not long before he was on the radar of the Western Jets, placing him under the noses of the Williamstown scouts.

The apprentice electrician is no longer consumed by the AFL dream, as he has unfinished business at the Seagulls.

“It’s just more about winning a flag at Willy now,” Dorgan said.

He was also active with the Sunshine juniors in the old FDFL. He also was a life member of the National Go Kart Association and as a cyclist competed in a few Melbourne-Warrnambool races. He had a service station in Braybrook before running Sunshine Mowers for many years. Condolences to his family and friends.

Devils show their worth as top three break away Three teams are breaking away from the pack in division 2 of the Western Region Football League.

When powerhouses Caroline Springs, North Footscray and Yarraville-Seddon meet it’s an eight-point game.

And there was one last weekend, when North Footscray got the better of Yarraville-Seddon by 41 points at Yarraville Oval.

It was significant for the Devils, as it was their first win against one of the top three sides while Caroline Springs and Yarraville-Seddon had proved themselves in big games.

The Devils not only got their win on the top-three merry-go-round, but did so in a commanding fashion that will have the rest of the competition sitting up and taking note.

A fast start was crucial for the Devils and they got it with five goals to two in the opening term.

They were out of sight by three-quarter-time, after a similarly destructive six-goal third quarter.

Brodhi Green was the standout for the Devils, while Zak Atkins capped a strong game with three goals.

For Yarraville-Seddon, Lachie Longmire produced another A-grade performance, but it was not enough to get the home side over the line.

So it’s Caroline Springs and North Footscray occupying the finals double chance positions

and it’s over to Yarraville-Seddon to see what response it has after dropping to third.

West Footscray continues to show signs of improvement.

The Roosters not only took a quarter from Albanvale, but also led at half-time.

But Albanvale were far superior in the second half, banging on 14 goals to five to win by 53 points and leave the Roosters as the only second-tier side without a win this season.

In division 3, Newport Power came from behind at three-quarter-time to win a thriller over Sunshine Heights by four points at Bryan Martyn Oval.

Munir El Houli showed his star quality with six goals in a match-winning performance.

In only their first season as a senior club, the Power is perched nicely in second spot after seven rounds.

Braybrook has taken giant leaps forward in recent weeks and continued its trend upwards with a 12-point win over Laverton Magpies at Pennell Reserve.

Tyrone Charles pipped Jamie Lane for best-on-ground honours.

Lane finished with eight goals to move into fourth on the goalkicking list with 21.

Parkside strolled to a 58-point win over Sanctuary Lakes at Henry Turner Reserve to keep in touch with the top two.

It was a tough slog for Jack Rayner and the rest of the runners at Cruden Farm. (Supplied)

Rayner reigns in the mud Western Athletics rising star Jack Rayner has won the open men’s section at the Athletics Victoria 10-mile heritage race.

The race was the third round of the cross country series at the new location of Cruden Farm in Langwarrin.

The heritage round sees many clubs participate in their original club uniforms, and Rayner wore the original Sunshine singlet.

It was a tough race of four 4km loops, consisting of rolling hills and mud.

But Rayner, 20, lapped up the difficult conditions and led the way to victory for

Western’s division 2 men’s team.

He cleared away in the final lap to win by 17 seconds in a time of 50 minutes 15.9 seconds.

It was the first open win for Western Athletics at the event.

Other standout performers were Liam Cashin and Cody Shanahan in the under-20 6km event. Cashin replicated his win from the previous round, while Shanahan came in third.

In under-14 girls, Mia White once again proved her cross country ability by winning the 4km event.

Western pride fuels thrilling win

By Lance Jenkinson Goal sneak Andrew Panayi came to the rescue for the Western Region Football League in its heart-stopping three-point win over Ballarat Football League in the AFL Victoria Community Championships at the Whitten Oval on Saturday.

After a see-sawing game, Matthew Notman put the BFL in front deep into time-on of the last quarter, but the WRFL kept pressing and bombed a ball into the forward line, where Panayi was infringed upon in front of goal.

The rest was on the shoulders of the Werribee Districts forward, who did not let his side down with a set shot.

WRFL onballer Matt Dean said Panayi had been tagged “the iceman” because of the coolness with which he’d kicked the winning goal under immense pressure.

“We gave him an opportunity – kicked into the forward line and he got dragged down holding-the-man and didn’t miss from right in front,” Dean said.

WRFL coach Anthony Eames and his assistant, Steve Thom, asked for total commitment and pride in the jumper and that is exactly what they got.

The WRFL’s big-name former AFL players were no shows, so the league showcased the best locally-produced talent.

“It would’ve been awesome to have had the opportunity to play with people who have had the AFL experience, but unfortunately, for whatever reason, injuries or wanting a rest, they didn’t put their hand up,” Dean said.

“It gave an opportunity to other people who were more committed and more prepared to do what it takes to win on the day.”

Dean was outstanding at the coal face for the WRFL, collecting best-on-ground honours.

The Werribee Districts captain believes the medal could have easily gone to a number of his teammates.

“There were probably a handful of other people that probably could’ve taken it,” he said.

“I appreciate the people adjudged me worthy of the medal, but it’s a lot more enjoyable just to be a part of a win with the 22 other blokes who went out there today.”

Murray Boyd was colossal for the WRFL. The 56 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 25, 2016

The WRFL teams revels in its interleague glory. (Shawn Smits)

big man from Spotswood excelled in whichever positions he was deployed.

“He was up forward, in the ruck and dropping back … he was everywhere,” Dean said.

“As a big, strong presence on the field, everyone looks up to him and respects him very highly in the western region. He was a major factor in us being able to win.”

Jase Perkins (Deer Park) was the focal point for the WRFL with four goals, while small forward Daniel Castellano (Sunshine) also kicked four.

AFL Victoria Community Championships Seniors: WRFL 13.17 (95) d BFL 13.14 (92) Under-19: WRFL 22.12 (144) d BFL 7.7 (49) David Sablich (Spotswood), Braden Ferrari (Hoppers Crossing) and Tim Quick (Deer Park) also had major impacts.

On the back of their victory, the WRFL has

moved up to sixth in the statewide rankings.

They are slipping under the radar and thriving on the underdog tag.

Dean paid credit to Eames and Thom, the side’s coaches, and their fervent desire to earn respect for their league.

“They’re just so passionate about the western region – they’re western suburbs people and have grown up in the area.

“They have a bit of a mission to try and prove a point. Hopefully, over the next few years we can fight ourselves up the ranks and earn that respect.”

Tonga call-up lifts skipper’s hope

By Lance Jenkinson Footscray captain Martin Naufahu grew up dreaming of a professional rugby career.

The inside centre even let his mind wander to thoughts of playing international rugby.

He was born in Auckland to Tongan parents and when it became apparent to Naufahu that a career as an All Black had faded, the prospect of featuring for his parents’ nation became real.

Now Naufahu has made Tonga’s squad for a second time for next month’s Pacific Nations Cup. It is a huge opportunity for the 25-year-old to make his mark at a tournament of significance if he can convince the coach of his credentials.

“I’m pretty excited,” Naufahu told Star Weekly. “Any time you get called up to represent your country, you’re pretty proud.

“It’s another opportunity for me to try to get a Test cap.

“I was selected for last year’s Pacific Nations Cup. I made it to the bench but didn’t get onto the field, so this is a second chance I guess.”

Naufahu is not your average import.

The Truganina resident has bought into the culture of his club in his four years in Melbourne, so much so that Footscray made him skipper this season.

“I was pretty proud,” Naufahu said. “I was up to the challenge and I’m one of the senior players at the club with a lot of players moving on from last season.

“What the coach sees in me is that I lead the boys with my actions and I want to continue to lead by my actions and be the best I can.”

The Bulldogs have not exactly set the world on fire in recent times, but Naufahu has stayed loyal to the club that accepted him into the fold and aided in his selection for Melbourne Rising, a pathway to the Rebels in Super Rugby.

Footscray has found its rhythm, the Bulldogs making it three consecutive wins in a hard-fought 19-point victory over Essendon at Windy Hill on Sunday. Jordan Russell continued his fine campaign with a best-afield display for the Bulldogs, while Mitch Honeychurch and Josh Dunkley pressed their claims for an AFL call-up and Shaun Wyatt kicked four goals. Williamstown was left with a bitter taste after a five-point loss to Collingwood at the Holden Centre on Saturday.

Kyneton’s Ainslie Kemp didn’t think she was in the picture to make her debut for Melbourne Football Club’s women’s side in an AFL exhibition match on Sunday.

At just 19 and in her first full season of open-age women’s football with the VU Spurs, she’s been happy just to play against the likes of top women players Daisy Pearce and Katie Brennan in their VFL competition.

“I didn’t think I was at that [AFL] level to play for Melbourne,” Kemp said last week.

“I’m still learning … the skill and intensity are so much greater.”

Selectors thought otherwise and Kemp lined up alongside Pearce in the Demons’ side which took on Brisbane Lions at the MCG. It was a 71-point win for the Demons, with Kemp among the goalkickers.

Kemp said she “lost it” when she received the phone call from Demons coach Michelle Cowan telling her she was in the side.

“I didn’t really know [I was in contention],” she said. “I played in the under-22 match between Vic country and Vic metro and didn’t hear anything after that.

“Then I got a phone call from Michelle Cowan and I missed it. I heard the voice call and I was so nervous to call her back.

“She said ‘congratulations you’ve been picked in the team’.”

Playing on the MCG was a long way from the football field in Trentham, where Kemp started playing football with boys.

“I played at Trentham until I was 13 and a half and then I was too old. I had no idea girls football was a thing,” she said.

“Kyneton formed a girl’s team and it was a perfect time to be part of it.

“There were seven of us originally and the first game we had no idea what was going on.

The next week we had 21 players.”

Kemp played with the Tigers until last year.

When she got too old to play in the Bendigo Youth Girls competition, Kemp had a big decision . . . where she would play next.

Several clubs wanted to speak to her but the decision came down to two teams, the Spurs and Thunder.

“It all depended on where I went for uni,” she said.

Ainslie Kemp made her debut for Melbourne on Sunday. (Damjan Janevski)

“I was going to play for the Thunder if I got into Latrobe [in Bendigo].

“If I got into uni at VU, I would play for the Spurs. My first preference was VU.” Despite having to travel more than an hour to get to training and games, Kemp loves playing at the Spurs.

She has nothing but praise for the team, especially coach and women’s football legend Debbie Lee. “She has had so much experience,” Kemp said.

“You trust you are getting right information.

“She has been thinking about it and what she’s telling you she probably used as a player.”

MOTOR

By David Bonnici I wonder when Kia knew it was on the money with the new Sorento?

The Korean-maker’s SUVs were once timid affairs, with lacklustre looks that dated as soon as they rolled off the production line.

The past several years have seen great improvement in the Kia range, which has become a force to be reckoned with in the cut-throat SUV market. With the Sorento,

Kia has taken the improvement up another notch and this has been recognised with good sales and a swag of awards.

The latest Sorento is bigger than previous models and feels nice and solid on the road but is by no means a truck. It has nice sweeping lines more reminiscent of the European SUVs than its direct competitors from Japan.

I drove the top-spec Platinum model, which includes extras such as leather-appointed

(Supplied)

Kia’s Sorento shines

seats and panoramic sunroof. The driver is well catered for with a 10-way electronic multi-adjustment seat and electric steering wheel adjustment with two memory settings.

Space is good and there’s plenty of storage for odds and sods. It even has heating for the wood-look steering wheel, which I didn’t get to test because of the mild weather. I’m thinking a steering wheel cooler would be more beneficial for Australian conditions.

Entertainment and comms are displayed

on a seven-inch screen which does the business well. This comes with a 10-speaker sound system with amplifier that sounds the business. The seven-seater provides plenty of comfort in the middle row, with heaps of leg and headroom and nifty little sunscreens you can slide over the back door windows.

The two rear-most seats, which fold up from the floor of the large rear cargo area, provide relative comfort for two adults so shouldn’t trouble children at all. I drove the test vehicle to Hanging Rock with six adult passengers and the two sitting down the back reckoned they were pretty comfortable.

Everyone noticed how smooth and quiet the Sorento was as we drove up the Calder Highway.

The suspension is firm, tuned for Australian conditions and body roll is remarkably subtle for such a car.

It’s built for comfort. But even with seven adults weighting it down it had no issues with performance, thanks to the 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that provides a nice balance between power and economy – I averaged 8.1 litres/100 kilometres during the week I had it, which is good for a car this size.

Lower spec models have a 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine with the diesel turbo as an option costing an extra $3500.

The Platinum is replete with active safety features including all-wheel drive, active cruise control, blind spot detection, hill-start assist, emergency stop signal, reverse camera, rear cross traffic control.

This is a hell of a lot of car for about $61,000 drive away, and compares incredibly well with similarly equipped competitors.

The base model Si starts at $45,000 drive away.

Nissan’s big small star USED AND REVIEWED Nissan Tiida is a small-medium car with the sort of interior space that can accommodate a family and provide a smooth quiet ride with reasonable engine performance.

It replaced the very successful Nissan Pulsar in February, 2006, due to a clash of cultures.

Australians think a new car should hold onto the same name as the one it replaces; the Japanese feel a significantly improved new car deserves a new name.

Tiida was a flop in the sales race, which was a shame because it is a good car for the person looking for nothing more than sensible transport from A to B. When Tiida reached the end of its model life in February, 2013, the new model was called … wait for it … Pulsar.

Due to its undeserved poor name, the Nissan Tiida is now a bargain on the used-car market.

Tiida isn’t what you would call stylish. But

the boxy body makes for a surprisingly spacious interior in a car of this class and there’s as much legroom in the back seats as many cars a couple of sizes up.

What to look for • Make sure that the engine starts easily and idles smoothly from the moment it ticks over.

Be suspicious of any rattles from the bottom.

• Check for smoke from the exhaust if the engine is worked hard; driving up a hill in a high gear is a good test.

• An automatic transmission that has harsh changes may be overdue for a service.

• Tiidas are popular as family cars so look for a damaged interior created by bored kids.

• Look at the condition of the boot mats in case heavy loads have been ripping about during cornering or braking.

The premium small car is due to hit Honda showroms in June. Initial pre-order interest has centred on the upper-range RS (pictured) and VTi-LX models, which have list prices $31,790 and $33,590 repectively, plus on road costs. There are three other models in the range, which starts at $22,390 plus on roads.

61 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 25, 2016

MOTOR STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Mazda bumps off Corolla’s crown There’s myriad 4x4 utes on the Australian market. To the uninitiated they all look the same but for a badge, and they all do their job reasonably well … however, what sets them apart is reputation and brand loyalty.

It’s the latter that probably hasn’t been too kind to Mazda’s stake in the market. While Mazda has achieved the unthinkable in knocking the Toyota Corolla off its perch with the Mazda 3, you can’t see its big-rugged BT-50 ute doing the same to Toyota’s all-conquering Hilux.

That’s not to say the BT-50 isn’t as good.

While it’s a big chunky ute with a diesel engine, it’s actually quite refined in terms of interior styling, ride and comfort.

The suspension is a little springy, as you’d expect for a true 4WD, but the handling is smooth, and the 3.2-litre five-cylinder (yes, five) turbo diesel gives it plenty of grunt – it’s surprisingly nimble from a standing start.

The automatic transmission in the XTR model I test-drove was excellent, and made off-road driving a lot easier.

It’s also pretty fuel efficient, giving you around 10 litres/100kms combined driving (a bit less or more depending on payload), which is great going for a two-tonne ute.

The interior finish manages to balance blue-collar ruggedness with the quality you’ll find in Mazda passenger cars. It feels like an SUV, but you won’t feel compelled to take your work boots off before climbing in.

The front seats only have basic adjustments, but are comfortable, with good back support – important if you spend much of your working week behind the wheel.

The rear seats in the freestyle cab are rudimentary, and you wouldn’t want to sit

in them for a long drive. They feel like a park bench and have minimal leg room … okay for apprentices, but forget about taking the family to Kakadu.

Of course, the BT-50 does come with a dual cab version that’s one of the roomiest in its class, but this is another story.

The rear seat cushions lift up to give extra

storage. I must admit I had the car a few days before realising they were accessible via small rearward opening doors – the fact I didn’t notice them says a lot about the design and build quality.

There are plenty of features for a work vehicle, despite a concerted effort to keep the cost down. There’s a touch screen, with the usual phone and entertainment options, a trip computer, and you can install urban and off-road satnav, which is included in the top-spec XTR. The screen doesn’t display the reverse camera image; this shows up in the mirror. I like this concept, but the image is pretty small.

The side mirrors, however, are huge. I remember my driving instructor telling me to live in my mirrors – you could almost take him literally with these … they’re excellent.

The off-road driving was fun. There’s plenty of clearance and you can be helped in particularly rough terrain with hill-descent control and hill-start assist.

On-road safety features include an emergency stop signal (to help avoid rear-ending someone) and trailer sway control, not that you’d often need a trailer – the rear cargo area is huge and will carry around 1400 kilograms.

The BT-50 ticks all the boxes, with the added benefit of being cheaper than its Toyota Hilux.

Prices for the 4x4 freestyle cab start at $40,990 drive away, while the XTR will set you back $47,990.

By comparison, the base model Hilux 4x4 extra cab will cost you $49,246 to drive home, with the model up commensurately more.
