Newstart: slippery slope to poverty Picture: Darren Howe

Big stretch, but ends barely meet MARGARET says most weeks she has to choose between purchasing medication for her husband or buying food. The Albionvale resident, who did not want her surname published, says she struggles to last the fortnight on the $533 payment. A full-time carer to her husband who has a physical disability, Margaret says it has been impossible for her to gain employment through the Newstart scheme, leaving her, like many others, stuck in a cycle of poverty. ‘‘We take out at least $80 a week for medication for my hus-

band then take from that money for rent, bills and water and we are left with nothing,’’ she says. ‘‘Most weeks we barely have enough money to eat and just buy food that will keep us full for longer, rather than food we would actually like to eat. We just get the cheapest we can get of whatever we buy.’’ Margaret says an extra $50 a week would make a big difference, allowing her to spend more on food and health support services. — Melissa Cunningham

Below the line: Anna Dooland says it’s important that welfare payments are increased.

G4955552AP-a14Aug

BRIMBANK welfare agencies are urging the federal government to increase payments to the community’s most vulnerable residents ahead of tonight’s federal budget announcement. Good Shepherd financial counsellor Anna Dooland told the Weekly hundreds of Brimbank families were living below the poverty line and unable to to afford food, rent and the cost of living. She said demand for the organisation’s services had soared since thousands of single parents were moved from parenting payments of $663 a fortnight onto the $533 a fortnight Newstart unemployment allowance on January 1. ‘‘Many of the women and men we encounter are single parents on the allowance who are completely capable, competent and educated individuals,’’ she said. ‘‘By the time they come to see us they’re at the end of their tether because they have been applying for jobs. They’ve been continually rejected, struggled to make ends meet, and are trying to do everything themselves.’’ Brimbank has the highest number of single-parent families in Melbourne’s west (19.7 per cent). Ms Dooland said many single parents were seeking material aid, food vouchers and financial assistance to send their children to school. Many were paying at least $150 a week on rent and were without essential items such as whitegoods. She said the system lacked flexibility for parents who were limited with the time they had to apply for jobs. Ms Dooland’s calls are echoed by more than 40 prominent Australian

charities and welfare organisations which, with the Australian Council for Social Services, have penned an open letter urging the government to boost the Newstart payment by $50 a week. ACOSS chief executive officer Cassandra Goldie said keeping payments so low was driving people further into misery. ‘‘It’s only making life even harder for people already struggling to lift themselves up and more fully participate in our society through paid work,’’ she said. “Increasing Newstart by $50 a week will help lift over one-million people out of this despairing situation and provide a welcome stimulus to the economy because every single cent will be spent on mere survival.’’ Maribyrnong Labor MP Bill Shorten was tight-lipped ahead of tonight’s budget but said he recognised that making ends meet on Newstart was not easy. ‘‘But I should also stress that Newstart is a transitional payment designed to encourage people back in to work. We have to get the balance right.’’ He said it the government intended to manage the budget in a responsible way that prioritised jobs.

Nick welcomes easing of struggle for family and friends BRIMBANK families, carers and advocates of people with disabilities say funding the landmark national disability care scheme will give people with disabilities a chance to realise their dreams. The scheme, known as DisabilityCare, is one step closer with Victoria last week agreeing to a full rollout of the plan by the end of the decade. The federal government will spend $2.6 billion to establish the scheme, while the state government will contribute $2.5 billion. Under the deal, Victoria will also receive $244 million a year from 2019-20, to be funded by an increase in the Medicare levy. Maribyrnong Labor MP Bill Shorten said the scheme was the most fundamental social policy reform since the introduction of Medicare and would benefit 2286 people living in the electorate. Deer Park resident Nick Warlond, 21, who has a physical and intellectual disability, told the Weekly the scheme would transform the lives of people with disabilities, their families and carers. ‘‘I’m hoping it will give me the support I need to move into independ-

ent housing and increase my work opportunities,’’ he said. ‘‘Life has been very difficult until now, especially for my parents and family. Without the NDIS a better life won’t happen.’’ Mr Warlond says he hopes those to benefit most will be people who don’t have the support of family and friends. ‘‘Some people with a disability are very alone and struggle with lack of support. I hope this helps them make the most of their lives.’’ NDIS Victorian campaigner James O’Brien said the scheme would provide certainty to more than 100,000 Victorians with serious disabilities. ‘‘It will allow them greater choice and control over the services they need,’’ he said. ‘‘But it’s important that Disability Care Australia has a comprehensive approach to planning to insure people with disabilities are fully informed of how the system will operate and can easily navigate it.’’ The Medicare levy will increase from 1.5 to 2 per cent from July 1 next year. — Melissa Cunningham Hopes and dreams: Nick Warlond says DisabilityCare will transform the lives of thousands.

End nigh for crowded rooming houses BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM BRIMBANK Council has investigated almost 20 boarding houses since the beginning of the year. Acting general manager of city development Stuart Menzies told the Weekly officers had probed 19 properties in Sunshine, St Albans and surrounding areas that were operating as illegal boarding houses. Mr Menzies said all landlords had been informed of compliance requirements and forced

to revert the properties back to single-resident occupation. He said illegal boarding houses continued to be a major issue in the area. Since 2011, the council has investigated more than 100 properties believed to be illegally operating as boarding houses. As reported by the Weekly, some of the worst conditions seen by inspectors in Brimbank have involved a mother and three children living in a single bedroom and people cooking and living in their bedrooms. Living areas had also been con-

verted into bedrooms and then sub-let to tenants. ‘‘[The] council gathers information about suspected boarding houses requiring investigation through observations by council officers, notifications from Consumer Affairs Victoria and information from the public,’’ Mr Menzies said. Research last year revealed an eight-fold increase in the number of western suburbs residents resorting to boarding houses. A report showed the west was bearing the brunt of a city-wide explosion in boarding

houses with people being squeezed out of the rental market. Rooming house numbers across the west soared from 36 in the 2006 Counting the Homeless report, to 339 in 2011. Brimbank’s Inspector Chris Gilbert said police worked with council to ensure there were no links with crime in areas where there was a high volume of boarding houses.

Cash for crossing ‘sent to marginal seats’ BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM THE 2013-14 state budget has delivered a mixed bag for Melbourne’s western suburbs and funding for many items was announced before the papers were officially released last week. Tabling the Napthine government’s first budget last Tuesday, Treasurer Michael O’Brien confirmed funding for dental care and the west’s first dedicated P-12 autism school, at Laverton. But Labor MPs argued Brimbank and the north-west had been overlooked, with no specific funding allocated to new schools and public transport services. Before the budget, the government announced $52 million to begin planning and works at seven dangerous level crossings in Melbourne, including the deadly Main Road crossing in St Albans. But work to remove the crossing is unlikely to begin this year, with no additional funding allocated. Dianne Dejanovic, whose son Christian died after being hit by a train at the crossing last year, said she was disgusted the government had neglected to fund the $180 million needed to remove the railway. Earlier this month, the Weekly reported the state government had turned down $90 million from the federal government to fund half the removal of the crossing. ‘‘There have been more deaths at this single crossing than at any other crossing in Victoria,’’ Ms Dejanovic said. ‘‘The deaths continue to stack up, but it’s falling on deaf ears. This is a political decision by the government to pool funding in marginal seats. Until this crossing is removed people’s lives

Crossing unfunded: Dianne Dejanovic has accused the government of putting marginal seats ahead of lives. will remain at risk, there will be more deaths and more heartache,’’ she said. Derrimut Labor MP Telmo Languiller said it was disappointing that funds were allocated only for planning, not construction. “Over $450 million has now been cut from public transport since the Coalition took government.’’ Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn defended the budget and said the money allocated would ‘‘kick-

start much needed planning and works’’ at the crossing. The budget controversially included $294 million over two years for the eastern stage of the east-west link, defying calls to start work in the traffic-choked west. Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury defended the decision to fund the eastern section first. ‘‘We had to start somewhere. We

have got this first stage under way and that will improve traffic by diverting people away from the M1 corridor.’’ — With Benjamin Millar

HAVE YOUR SAY Post a comment to this story at brimbankweekly.com.au

ONE of Brimbank’s most dilapidated schools and north-west commuters have been overlooked in last week’s state budget. After earlier missing out on a slice of $51 million in maintenance funding, Sunshine College did not receive any money in the 2013-14 budget. The stalled Caroline Springs train station project was also overlooked, as was the electrification and duplication of the Melton line and a plethora of roadworks. Earlier this month, Sunshine College principal Tim Blunt told the Weekly more than $20 million was needed to redevelop the school’s three ageing campuses. Keilor Labor MP Natalie Hutchins said she was disappointed no specific funding had been allocated to north-west schools. ‘‘The government has failed to secure land for new secondary schools for the growing population in the west and give maintenance funding to the schools who need it most.’’ Western Metropolitan Greens MP Colleen Hartland criticised the government’s treatment of public transport. ‘‘The government has ignored the facts and have sentenced the western suburbs population to another year of inadequate public transport and worsening traffic congestion.’’ — Melissa Cunningham

SAVE Sunvale campaigners have written to the state government calling for immediate action to preserve the former primary school site as open land. The group wants the government to honour a pre-election commitment to implement a Sunvale Community Park initiative. ‘‘Sunshine is a community with special needs and with a shortage of basic community infrastructure such as open space and active recreation facilities,’’ it wrote. Save Sunvale members John Hedditch and Sean Spencer have been calling for the site to be kept as open space since 2010 when the Education Department announced plans to offload the property. A merger with Sunshine East and Braybrook primary schools to

form Sunshine Harvester Primary led to Sunvale’s last pupils leaving in September 2009. Mr Hedditch said he welcomed opportunities for partnerships between governments and the community to finance the site’s transformation. As reported by the Weekly in March, two designs have been drawn up. One proposes that half the site be used as parkland, with the other half zoned for residential use. The group’s preferred option is for the whole site to be rezoned for open space. Last May, Brimbank Council made an offer for the western portion of the Sunvale site. A spokesman for Education Minister Martin Dixon said the site had been declared surplus to educational requirements and had been included in the department’s disposal program.

A LACK of funding has left Melton youth with one less place to go, with the Street Surfer bus to cease operation on June 30. The bus was a mobile communal space for youth to watch movies, play games, and meet and make new friends. Cr Bob Turner, who started the ‘surfer bus’ initiative with his wife Val 10 years ago, said it was too costly to maintain the bus and there was a lack of volunteers to help run it. ‘‘If we wanted to continue, we’d have to look at replacing the bus and that’s a big expense, around $7000. It’s hard to get that money.’’ Cr Turner hoped that without the bus, more youth would go to The Gap, a drop-in youth centre on Graham Street. ‘‘When the Street Surfer started we’d get 100-150 kids per night come through the bus. We had 12 volunteers who were in and out and about 40 people helping out over the years. We’ve had great support from the community in Melton, from businesses and from council to get the bus up and running. ‘‘It’s sad that it’s ending. It’s a big project for us; it was a great learning curve for how to get involved in the community. This was my wife’s idea, but we had a really strong committee of people who helped us get up and running.’’

Priorities jostle as budget looms BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM BRIMBANK residents are pushing for more bike paths, upgrades to ease road congestion and community space to showcase art in this month’s council budget. Keilor Ratepayers Association president Susan Jennison said she wanted the council to fund traffic lights at the interchange between Calder Park Drive and Sunshine Avenue to ease traffic on the busy road. ‘‘The interchange is a massive problem for drivers and is extremely dangerous during peak hours,’’ she said. Ms Jennison also wants the council to expand opening hours at the Keilor library, build another toilet block at Keilor Village and establish more community hubs. ‘‘Keilor still remains behind other areas of Brimbank in terms of the community space it offers for residents young and old.’’ Sunshine resident Geraldine

Brooks wanted less money spent on roads and more invested into bike paths and parks. She said consideration needed to be given to building an arts precinct that included performance spaces and a ‘‘people’s museum’’ to celebrate the area’s working-class history. Ms Brooks urged the council to respond to climate change by funding food gardens and lobbying the state government for money to improve waterways. ‘‘We also need more accessible child and maternal health care centres,’’ she said. ‘‘Many of the old centres have closed down over the years and while there are some in the local area, there needs to be more which are within walking distance for parents who don’t drive.’’ The council remained tightlipped about possible increases to rates bills. The draft 2013-14 budget will be released at the council’s May 28 meeting in Sunshine.

Hubba bubba, we get a new hub A $2.1 MILLION community hub was opened in Sydenham on Friday. It has a library, maternal and child health services and neighbourhood house, and was funded by Brimbank Council to address population increases in the city’s north-west. Council chairman John Watson (pictured) says the hub also has an art space, multipurpose community areas and computers. “It’s designed to be an active, thriving place where the community feels welcome and inspired.’’ The hub is opposite Watergardens railway station at Level 1, 1 Station Street.

INBRIEF Gambling apps ‘risky’ Brimbank Council will host a program to highlight the risks of problem gambling among youth during Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (May 20-26). A seminar at Sunshine library on May 22 will showcase art produced by year 7 and 8 students as part of a competition exploring the theme ‘Responsible Gambling – For the Family’’. There will also be guest speakers from Gambler’s Help Western and HealthWest Partnership. Council chairman John Watson said parents needed to be particularly vigilant about the types of online applications their children were using, given the availability and ease of access to free online gambling applications. “Research shows that many parents and teachers are mostly unaware of the dangers being posed to children and teenagers by free gaming apps,’’ he said. The seminar is from 3.30-5pm. For support with problem gambling, phone 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au

Burglary arrest in Ardeer A man was arrested after being caught trying to burgle a house in Ardeer. The Altona North man, 37, was caught by police at 3am on May 5. Inspector Chris Gilbert said the man tried to flee on foot before being caught. He said the man was also suspected of being involved in a burglary in Forrest Street earlier this month. He

will appear at Sunshine Magistrates Court later this month.

Commuter robbed at station Police are searching for a man who robbed a commuter as he was leaving Sunshine train station. The incident occurred about 5.30am on May 4. Inspector Gilbert said a man of African appearance approached the 23-yearold commuter in Dickson Street and stole his wallet and phone after placing him in a headlock. Information to Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000

Young leaders honoured Fourteen students from the north-west have been recognised for displaying leadership. The 2012 year 12 students were recognised as part of MP Brendan O’Connor’s Gorton young leaders awards. Mr O’Connor congratulated the recipients for their commitment to public leadership in their schools. The former year 12 students were selected from seven schools across the electorate.‘‘I’m certainly pleased to be able to say that so many bright and capable young leaders call Melbourne’s west their home,’’ Mr O’Connor said. Their achievements included co-ordinating blood drives, volunteering at Sunshine Hospital and working with Brimbank’s youth action committee.

Summit of equals Year 11 students Omar Mussa and Jonathan Reeves (pictured) were part of a recent cultural and religious diversity roundtable discussion at Overnewton College. Jewish, Muslim and Christian students from across Melbourne met last Wednesday to engage with each other and dispel myths and inaccuracies about their religions. Also involved were state and federal police, MPs, rabbis, priests and imams. Overnewton’s senior chaplain, Reverend Kim Cruickshank, said: ‘‘The roundtable discussions are a great way to bring together students from diverse backgrounds, who otherwise may never meet, and bring them together in conversation.’’ — Samantha Little

Heart attack hot spot BY NICK TOSCANO and MELISSA CUNNINGHAM A NEW study ranking Brimbank as one of Melbourne’s heart attack hot spots has increased pressure on the council and state government to step up health and prevention programs. Heart Foundation data reveals that residents in lower socio-economic areas were at the highest risk of heart attack. Residents in Brimbank were 1.2 times more likely than the rest of Victoria to be hospitalised due to heart attack. There were six heart attacks for every 10,000 people in Brimbank between 2007-08 and 2011-12, compared to two in the City of Melbourne and three each in Yarra and Port Phillip. Heart Foundation spokeswoman Kellie-Ann Jolly said there was a strong link between risk factors for heart disease and socio-economic disadvantage. ‘‘Some of the issues are around low income levels and the capacity to be

physically active, and to be able to afford healthier options of food. We don’t always see the healthier choice as the easier to access or afford, and we know there are higher numbers of fastfood outlets in lower socio-economic areas.’’ Ms Jolly said commuters in outer suburbs were often forced to drive to and from work due to poor public transport, which could also contribute to heart disease. ‘‘The further you go away from the centre of Melbourne, the less physical activity you’re doing each day, and we see that with overweight and obesity rates.’’ A state government inquiry last year into the impacts of urban design on health found population growth in outer suburbs was outstripping basic infrastructure such as public transport, parks and medical services, creating ‘‘obesogenic’’ environments that promoted weight gain. Ms Jolly said better planning was needed from state and local governments to ensure the right mix of services for outer-suburban residents.

Western Health director of cardiology Nicholas Cox said Sunshine and Footscray hospitals treated among the highest number of heart attack patients in the state. ‘‘While there has really been a decrease in inner-city presentations of heart attack patients, there continues to be an increase in the western suburbs. We are also seeing an evolving demographic of patients with cardiovascular disease, with Indian and Sri Lankan migrants increasing the demand for services,’’ Dr Cox said. Western Health was working with the government to expand cardiovascular services at Sunshine Hospital. For Professor Robert Whitbourn, a cardiologist based at Wyndham Private, the west’s high rate of heart disease came as no surprise. ‘‘It could be the high rate of smoking, the high rate of ethnicity and people from various backgrounds who may not have access to education about medical services, and the lack of attention to risk factors like blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.’’

The budget also includes $1.5 million for a community hub in the Atherstone estate. Cr Borg said he had made it ‘‘extremely clear’’ he wouldn’t support any rate increase. ‘‘I don’t disagree with the whole budget; I think there’s some facilities there that are really needed.’’ Cr Bob Turner, who voted for the budget, claimed Cr Borg had failed to attend budget meetings prior to the release of the draft. ‘‘We never saw you one night for one discussion. You’ve got to sit down with your fellow councillors and discuss what you want. If you discuss what you want we can work together. We must work as a team. ‘‘A lot of people will really suffer from 4 per cent, but they’ll also suffer if they don’t have a kindergarten for their kids.’’ Mayor Kathy Majdlik said the draft budget was ‘‘robust’’ and ‘‘well balanced’’. Written submissions close May 30 and the budget will be voted on at a council meeting on June 11.

MELTON councillors have clashed over a ‘‘meanspirited’’ draft budget, with a proposed rates hike of 4 per cent leading to fiery debate. Councillors Lara Carli and Broden Borg objected to the increase. However, a 5-2 vote approved it. The average rates rise is less than last year’s 4.5 per cent increase. However, Cr Carli labelled it ‘‘mean-spirited’’ and said many of the projects listed were not needed in Melton right now. ‘‘To some, 4 per cent seems little, but I can assure our residents that with the pressures families are facing today, 4 per cent is a heavy burden,’’ she said. ‘‘We’ve got millions being spent over in Atherstone where I was told there’s roughly about 30 people. I’m not saying it’s not needed. I’m saying it’s not needed right now; it’s not a priority right now.’’ The 2013-14 budget sets aside $36.5 million for capital works, which includes $8.9 million for road infrastructure, $17.5 million for community buildings and $4.1 million for recreational assets. Major spending includes $21 million for a

West’s seniors sign up for aspirin trial

4% rates hike ‘a heavy burden’ BY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

●

ABOUT 100 senior citizens have met in Altona as part of Australia’s largest medical trial to test whether agerelated diseases can be delayed or prevented by aspirin. About 300 people in Melbourne’s west are taking part in the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) trial, with a further 300 healthy older people from the western suburbs sought. Monash associate professor Robyn Woods said researchers were investigating whether aspirin could extend lifespan or prevent heart attack, stroke, dementia and certain cancers. She said the trial looked at whether benefits, such as possible delayed mental decline, outweighed risks like increased bleeding. Participants hail from suburbs including Maribyrnong, Hoppers Crossing, Williams-

About 16,000 Australians over 70 and 3000 in the US are expected to take part in the trial being conducted in partnership with the Berman Center for Outcomes and Clinical Research in the US. Half the participants receive

100mg of enteric-coated aspirin daily and the other half receive a matching placebo (dummy tablet), undergoing health checks for five years. Eleven thousand Australians have enrolled to date. More information: 1800 728 745 or aspree.org — Goya Dmytryshchak

New batch of leaders is Bulldogs’ goal Launched last week in an AFL first, the project involves the club partnering with Brimbank, Maribyrnong, Hobsons May, Moonee Valley and Melton councils as well as the AFL, SportsWest and state government. Forty year 9 and 10 students were nominated by the councils for showing leadership in their

communities. Bulldogs chief executive Simon Garlick said the project showed the power of football to extend beyond the playing field. It was fitting the project was named after club legend Ted Whitten, who played a record 321 VFL games for Footscray, he said. The project squad will take part in an eight-

month program that will include mentoring, leadership sessions with coaches and skills clinics with players. Each young leader will also complete a community leadership project in partnership with their council. — Benjamin Millar

A NEW Western Bulldogs program is training young people in Melbourne’s western suburbs to be leaders. The Whitten Project will give 40 boys and girls from diverse communities the chance to develop leadership skills by working closely with the club’s leadership team.

Science that’s off the wall ARTIST Robert Jackson is preparing to add a splash of colour to St Albans Secondary College. The Albion resident will complete a science-themed mural for the school as part of Brimbank Council’s ‘Art Spaces’ project, which provides emerging artists with an area to create works to be displayed throughout the municipality. Mr Jackson (pictured) says the 64-panel oil-paint mural will explore themes like biology, mathematics and space and depict famous scientists such as Newton, Einstein and Pythagoras. Mr Jackson says he ‘‘can’t praise the

council highly enough’’ for the opportunities provided to the art community through the project. ‘‘[The mural] was much too big for my home studio, so having the space provided for me is fantastic.’’ He says he’s excited the community will benefit from Art Spaces. There will be an open day at the Keilor art shed on Kennedy Street from 2pm on Saturday. The council is inviting expressions of interest from artists wishing to use spaces.

contentment Finding

As Australia’s first international supergroup, The Seekers were in a world of their own, but 50 years on they’re now much happier to share. Sarah Harris reports

P

eeping from beneath the blunt, heavy fringe, the trademark tresses tumbling over her left shoulder, Judith Durham’s look remains as distinctive as the incredible voice. Squint and you could be in the Sixties, only as Athol Guy jokes, “My glasses have got thinner and the hair has disappeared.” It’s the last day of rehearsals in South Melbourne’s Deluxe Audio studio before The Seekers embark on a national concert tour to celebrate their golden jubilee. Come down from the chill autumn mornings of the Macedon Ranges he’s called home for the past 45 years, Guy is wearing a surgical mask to protect his fellow band members from a cold ahead of their first sell-out performance in Geelong. Whipping it off for the photo shoot, he scarcely allows himself to breathe over the diminutive Durham. Still they hug and clown between shots with the easy familiarity of old, old friends. Watching them, it’s hard to believe there was ever a 25-year hiatus in relations between Durham and her fellow band members. While Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger maintained close relations and would re-form three-quarters of The Seekers several times, it seemed that when Durham walked away it was for good. That they remained apart for almost five times longer than they were together is all the more astonishing when you consider just how many records they set in those few early years. What must it have been like when The Seekers became Australia’s first-ever supergroup hitting the Top Five in Australia, the UK and the US simultaneously? They had headed to England for what was to have been a 10-week working holiday in 1964 – almost crossing paths with The Beatles, who caused hysteria on what turned out to be their only Australian tour. If, as John Lennon famously observed, The Beatles became “bigger than Jesus”, The Seekers at their peak were bigger still. Once described by a reviewer as “three bank tellers and a secretary”, they had the power to dislodge the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who and The Beatles from the charts. But as The Seekers’ popularity grew, Essendon-born Durham was slowly being crippled by eating disorders and anxiety. “My weight problems had started when I was 15 or 16,” she recalls. “Being an overweight person in blues, jazz and even classical singing was quite acceptable, so I could see myself in those roles. “When we were catapulted into the pop world I became even more self conscious about the fact I didn’t live up to the image of Carnaby Street and the swinging ’60s. “I didn’t even realise Britain was swinging when we left Australia. I was still running around trying to match my

handbags and gloves like the Queen. “She was kind of my role model.” Only the Queen never abdicated. Durham, beloved as she was, did. “I needed to leave, I needed to do something else. I couldn’t have stayed a Seeker my whole life,” she says today. Back then, caught in her own bubble, she had no real inkling of the pain she caused fans or even “the boys” as she fondly refers to her fellow band members. It was perhaps hardest for Woodley, who lost both his band family and his mother within six months of Durham’s departure. He dislikes dwelling on that period but, when pushed, admits when they finally came together again there was “unfinished business and things to talk about. You don’t just wipe away 25 years.” But with the simple, humble words, “I’m sorry if I ever hurt you”, Durham did just that. When The Seekers finally returned to the studio, the musical rapport that first wowed those lucky 30 or 40 who’d gathered at the Treble Clef on Toorak Road for their first public appearance that seminal Monday night in December 1962 was, in Potger’s words, “absolutely instant”. “We got together in a little recording studio in South Yarra and Bruce and I fired up our guitars, Athol fired up his bass and we started singing I’ll Never Find Another You. It was magic. I still have the cassette. We are putting it on eBay in 2062,” he laughs. The subsequent concert video of the “little celebration” for the anniversary of the 25-year reunion knocked Michael Jackson’s Thriller 10th Anniversary video off the No.1 spot. The Seekers have been coming together and setting new records on and off ever since. Last month a portrait of the quartet was hung in the National Gallery in Canberra – 45 years after they were jointly honoured as Australians of the Year. Between an in-your-face image of Australia’s first lady of rock Chrissy Amphlett and the late Howard Arkley’s airbrushed interpretation of fellow [now former] heroin addict Nick Cave, the work by Helen Edwards looks like a family portrait. Bold, brassy, larger-than-life Amphlett had died just days before this interview, a fact not lost on The Seekers. All appreciate the fragility of life. Durham, who with her husband Ron Edgeworth survived a serious car accident at Kyneton in 1990, lost the love of her life to motor neurone disease four years later. Guy had a lucky escape last year when his BMW – stopped in the emergency lane on the Calder Freeway at Gisborne – was rear-ended at 100km/h by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. More recently Potger had a tram crash-test his Volvo in Bourke Street.

“We’ve all had our scrapes,” Guy says. “Yet here we are. We thank God we are still able to get up and play together – the only group as I understand it still together in its iconic form 50 years later.’’ In retrospect, could they have maintained the juggernaut that was The Seekers or did Durham really do them all a favour? “It became rather academic. We went our separate ways virtually overnight,” Woodley says. “We were in a syndrome where if you didn’t have a hit with every record you didn’t have a career. We were getting songs like the daughter of Georgy Girl and the son of Morningtown Ride sent to us – there was a lot of sameness to it,” Guy recalls. “It is extremely difficult to judge from within. We made a collective decision we had perhaps peaked and were coasting or cruising,” Potger explains. “But the fans didn’t think that and they showed it in no uncertain terms when we broke up. They kept it all alive.” What’s the magic to The Seekers? “If only we knew,” Guy laughs. “It is a very inexact science, but we haven’t manufactured anything more than what happened when we first opened our mouths together on night one.” “It’s the simple melodies that people can easily pick up on and sing to themselves and it makes people feel good together,” Durham ventures. “It’s the same ingredient as Christmas carols.” The coffee shop where the quartet first sang is now the headquarters of Audio Hearing Melbourne and while their original audience may well be customers, the Seekers still sound like Christmas … come round again.

Post: The Editor, PO Box 740, Niddrie, 3042, or email westletters@mmpgroup.com.au Post a web comment to any story at brimbankweekly.com.au Place blame where it’s due I take strong exemption to the suggestion that the federal government’s offer to help fund the St Albans crossing upgrade was not genuine (Weekly, April 30). This assertion from the state government is completely untrue. My colleague, Anthony Albanese, made this offer in good faith in February, hoping to get a bipartisan deal that would fix this blight on St Albans once and for all. State governments of all political persuasions have failed on this issue in the past and we were very keen to make a decent contribution to fasttrack a solution and avoid further loss of life. The Napthine government chose, for its own reasons, not to take the opportunity to fix the crossing at half of what it will otherwise cost them to build it. I can only assume it has other funding priorities, but it should be honest about them. Somehow trying to blame the federal government for this is dishonest and cynical. Maribyrnong MP Bill Shorten

Let’s break stigma of mental illness Stigma and prejudice can have a big impact on the lives of people dealing with mental illness. In Schizophrenia Awareness Week (May 12 -18)

Temporary carers needed!

we can all play a role in reducing the stigma around this illness. People with mental illnesses, especially schizophrenia, still struggle with stigma. Many say its impact can be as bad as the illness itself. So long as stigma and stereotyping go unchallenged, people will delay seeking help and find it harder to accept their diagnosis and treatment. They will also encounter social barriers impeding their recovery and shy away from sharing their stories of resilience and courage that can help many others. With one in five affected with a mental illness every year, reducing stigma across all diagnoses is important for everyone. Greater understanding provides hope. Jack Heath, chief executive, SANE Australia

Re: New school to cater for record growth (Weekly, April 30): The debt for infrastructure keeps building up to create increasing state deficits because of our high rates of population growth. The government’s worship of ‘‘economic growth’’ relies on population growth and the housing industry, but the economic benefits of population growth never are able to keep abreast with costing demands. Construction of housing doesn’t provide long-term jobs; neither does it increase our exports and manufacturing outputs. Tony B

‘I have daughters I want to watch grow up’ The ambassador for Ovarian Cancer Australia talks to Melissa Cunningham orinda Leeder was only 35 when her life as she knew it began crumbling around her. As a young mum to two daughters, the Caroline Springs resident and full-time nurse (pictured) says she never thought a lump found in her abdomen in 2005 would turn out to be stage three ovarian cancer. ‘‘I found a lump in my abdomen about the size of a nectarine. I immediately went to my GP who thought I had appendicitis and wanted scans.’’ It wasn’t until months later that blood tests revealed she had ovarian cancer. By that time, the tumour had grown to the size of a melon. Days later she was admitted to hospital, operated on and started chemotherapy. ‘‘When I was diagnosed, the first thing I asked my oncologist was, ‘What do I have to do to live? I have two daughters I want to watch grow up. They need me’.’’ In the past six years, Ms Leeder, now 43, has endured six abdominal operations, including a total hysterectomy. Tumours spread to her liver, bowel and bladder and she continues to battle

secondary symptoms of the disease. But she has refused to give up hope. ‘‘From the start I always remained positive, never allowing myself to think I was going to die. I never asked, ‘why me?’’’ Ms Leeder, who volunteers as an ambassador for Ovarian Cancer Australia, says it’s her mission to promote awareness about the disease. With no screening test available, she says it’s important for women to be aware of the signs of ovarian cancer and not ignore symptoms when they appear. Common symptoms include abdominal and pelvic pain, increased abdominal size and persistent bloating. More than 800 women die from the disease each year. ‘‘I want to play a role to ensure that even if one woman hears me and one woman is saved,’’ Ms Leeder says. ‘‘You always fear, it never leaves you. But being diagnosed with ovarian cancer and the fight has been a gift. Life is so valuable. I never take a day for granted.’’ Last Wednesday was World Ovarian Cancer Day.

addison and Kayla Parker are determined to be heard this month. The Caroline Springs sisters are speaking out to publicise EhlersDanlos syndrome (EDS), a disability they both have. Frustrated by a lack of recognition during last year’s official awareness month, the sisters have organised a range of activities in Melton this year. Maddison, 10, and Kayla, 7, want to tell people about the syndrome, which affects joints and muscle strength and causes chronic pain and easily damaged, bruised skin. Mum Kathy Parker says the girls organised a flag-raising ceremony at Caroline Springs library and a trivia night at Melton Community Hall on May 24.

M

They’ve even talked their dad into getting an EDS tattoo. ‘‘They designed an EDS flag and the Melton mayor will raise it with the girls and fly it for the month at Caroline Springs library,’’ Mrs Parker said. ‘‘Every weekend they’ll have a stall at different shopping centres, where they will sell keyrings, wristbands and things like that.’’ Mrs Parker says the girls spend 60 per cent of each day in a wheelchair. The sisters say they will keep raising awareness of the disability until there is an EDS clinic in Melbourne. For more details about the trivia night, email kathy.parker @me.com

Hear us: Maddison and Kayla are raising awareness about their rare condition.

Spacious, light-filled living And outside you’ll enjoy the pergola, fish pond, landscaped gardens and citrus trees, writes Mark Bunker n popular The Avenue estate, this 32-square house is strong on presentation. Things like the spacious and light-filled living areas, each with french doors, add to this home’s warm character, while the Japanese-inspired outdoor deck and fish-pond flanked by landscaped hedges are impressive touches. Of the four spacious bedrooms, the main at the front has a chandelier, walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The three others at the back are arranged around a sparkling bathroom and have built-in wardrobes, holland blinds and awnings

shading them from the north-west aspect. A feature is the two-way powder room, accessed from the main bedroom’s en suite and hallway. A study is opposite, while further down there’s a lounge and adjoining living room with roman blinds and ceiling fans. The latter has french doors onto the paved patio. The best feature of the family-meals hub is the full-width windows (with roman blinds) and two sets of french doors, while the polished floorboards and high ceilings with fans and wide cornices add appeal.

Kitchen highlights are an island bench with breakfast bar and an Asko stainless-steel dishwasher. There’s also a microwave nook and a Westinghouse oven and cooktop. A concreted side driveway provides ample space for a boat or trailer, while it’s also primed for barbecues and alfresco dining bordered by stylish bamboo fence screens. In the far corner, there’s a pergola with decking, Japanese-style windows and seating. Nearby, a large fish pond adds to the Eastern theme and there’s a vegie patch and pear and citrus trees.

Land of opportunity Larger-than-average blocks are now available at Forsyth Park ome buyers looking for largerthan-average blocks in a familyfriendly location need look no further than Forsyth Park in Truganina. Purchasers Jason Woolley and fiance´e Julia Knott have taken advantage of the good-sized blocks and are looking forward to building their dream home. With a young daughter and growing family to accommodate, the second-home buyers were happy to move from their Moonee Ponds two-bedroom terrace to a block which will have a big backyard. “We had been researching numerous options in the area and originally we were interested in Williams Landing down the road,” Jason said. ‘‘But after seeing the size of the blocks Forsyth Park had, tied in with the value for money, we were keen to find out more.” Blocks measuring

H

350-680 square metres and starting at $210,000 are now available. Services offered in the area are also what drew the family to Truganina. “I work in the city so having the freeway just down the road will save me the stress of sitting in traffic every morning,’’ Jason said. “We also travel to Geelong as Julia plays netball there and I coach, so our future home at Forsyth Park will keep us at the halfway mark.” Forsyth Park has a large park and medical centre and there are shops and schools nearby. Jason has also researched the area for these services, and more. “I’ve heard nothing but good reports about the local schools, which is great knowing we are going to be in a safe, family environment.’’ For more information visit Forysth Park’s sales office or website.

Forsyth Park Price: Land from $210,000 Address: Sayers Road, Truganina Phone: 9684 8121 Website: forsythpark.com.au

Moving in: Jason Woolley and Julia Knott (above) were attracted to Forsyth Park because of the good-sized blocks on offer.

The trio attended a function for the organisation’s 2700 nurses last Wednesday night, acknowledging the work they do every day. ‘‘Nurses and midwives play one of the most important roles in our hospitals,’’ Ms Patterson said. ‘‘At Western Health, they make up 40 per cent of the entire workforce. They are here 24 hours a day; they’re the first point of contact for patients and the last person they see before they leave.’’

Tikka tikka, boom MISHRA’S KITCHEN Address: 18 Wembley Avenue, Yarraville Contact: 9314 3336 Hours: Wednesday-Friday, 11am-2.30pm; Monday-Saturday, 5-10pm Unlicensed

HILARY McNEVIN EATING OUT n Wembley Avenue in Yarraville, just off Francis Street, there’s a strip of small shops and one can’t help but stand out with its bright pink cushions along the front window. Mishra’s Kitchen is the epitome of a good local Indian, slightly off the beaten track, colourful, bright and filled with the rich perfumes of a myriad of delicious spices. Sajeev Mishra works behind the counter in the open kitchen, kneading dough for naan breads, watching his dishes on the stove, putting plates and takeaway containers together. He co-ordinates dishes like a conductor with his orchestra, bringing all the different aspects of this layered cuisine together to create delicious and, in this instance, very well-priced dishes.

O

There’s a small selection of entre´es, including Samosa (2 for $5), which are almost rotund from being stuffed with gently spiced vegetables. If you’re a tandoori fan, like my children, Mishra’s Tandoori Murgh (chicken) won’t disappoint. Order half ($10) or a whole chicken ($18) from the tandoor oven. Lamb, fish and prawn dishes are also done in this style and you receive mildly spiced, slightly sweet tender pieces of chicken with a small fresh salad. From a good choice of curries, we tried the lamb rogan josh ($12) and asked for it at medium heat. It’s robust in spice but not overpowering with lots of cumin and coriander seed. The Jhinga Madras ($14) is a generous serving of prawns in a rich, creamy sauce of coconut milk with the savoury addition of mustard seeds; it’s bold, sweet and complex.

Spoiled for choice: Mishra’s lamb-shank curry is one of many tempting menu items. There’s a large choice of vegetarian dishes, all for $10 and including Baigar Baigan, a textural eggplant curry, and the classic Palak Paneer, a mix of spinach puree and Indian cheese all bound together with mild curry spice. The service is charming, thoughtful and friendly and Mishra is

a constant presence ensuring that all his guests dining in the small room are happy and that the takeaway dishes go out on time (there’s delivery to nearby areas). Enjoy Mishra’s; it’s worth a visit and hard to miss — the window with the bright pink cushions.

Regional Rail Link (RRL) is a landmark project designed to remove major bottlenecks in the rail network and enable more frequent services. The Regional Rail Link Authority (RRLA) is applying the Victorian Government’s new ‘Passenger Rail Infrastructure Noise’ policy, to consider locations where future rail noise may need to be addressed. To find out about RRLA’s approach to implementing the policy, and the findings of our recent noise investigations, come along to any of the following Community Information Sessions:

avarotti, Domingo, Carreras and (insert your name here). Is there, hidden deep within your being, a massive, undiscovered talent? Is your true destiny to be rich, famous and loved by all? Shouldn’t there be a star on your door? Seriously, instead of trying out for The Voice shouldn’t The Voice be coming to you? Of course it should and now it will. Well sort of anyway. And all it costs is $229. Philips has unveiled a combination wireless microphone and speaker for an iPad that, in gentler times would have been called a clever karaoke machine, but it’s 2013 so it’s called The Voice. Get this and the free app that goes with it and you’ll have everything that happens on the hit television show unfolding at home. The app starts you off with a limited number of songs that you can belt out as the on-screen lyrics change colour to keep you in time with the music. If that doesn’t work there are guiding vocals to help you pick things up. Think of these as the backing singers; when you’re done with them just kick them out of the studio merely by turning their volume down. It also has auto-tune, which steps in when you have difficulty reaching some of the more challenging notes. Don’t tell anyone, but professional singers have been using this software for years. When you’ve got it all right,

record the track and a score will be given. By taking part in a blind audition you can see just how you rate with the coaches and, when your confidence is up, you can challenge others by dialling up battle mode. Each performance is rated on pitch, rhythm, vocal range and voice quality. You’ll know you’re improving when the computer starts rewarding you with more songs. Or you can pay a subscription (from $1.99 a week) to access the full offering of tracks. Finally, post your recordings online to find out just how many people out there realise that you have what it takes. You can also put them on Facebook if you’re game. The microphone is a high-sensitivity unit with a wide dynamic range and you can dial in some echo. It also has noise cancellation to ensure full attention is accorded to your talents and not the rude remarks of those muttering through a green haze of jealousy. The mike is Bluetooth enabled so you can detach it from its stand and wander around the room for more intimate contact with your many admirers. Handy if you wish to throw yourself bodily into the expression of song. The speaker unit also packs Bluetooth and plays music from compatible smartphones and tablets as well as working in with The Voice. Just to be safe we’ll end with a screamingly obvious word of warning: Do not attempt to use this equipment in the shower. I

Skills to reach goals inding a well-rounded school that caters to students who want to succeed in the performing arts, sport or other academic industries can be challenging, but Essendon Keilor College aims to provide each student with the skills to achieve in their chosen field. The multicultural college – with sister schools in Vietnam, Italy and Japan — runs a Vocational Education and Training (VET) Sport and Recreation Program designed to prepare boys for the AFL draft. And for performing arts students, the annual musical is a great way to learn about the industry. Arts graduates have gone on to study at the Victorian College of the Arts and National Institute of Dramatic Arts, among others. “90 per cent of our students go on to study at university or TAFE,” principal David Adamson says. Next year the college will undergo an exciting change. Year 10 students will move to the Essendon campus – previously only VCE – and the junior campuses – Niddrie and East Keilor – will cater solely to year 7 to 9 students. “The move will mean year 10 students will have access to a wider range of VCE subjects on the

Varied focus at all levels rom humble beginnings nearly 26 years ago, Overnewton Anglican Community College has grown to become a Prep-Year 12 school with campuses at Keilor and Taylors Lakes and a separate year 9 campus. Principal Jim Laussen attributes the college’s success to its rich and varied academic and cocurricular program at all year levels. ‘‘Our success is also linked with parents of students contributing 18 hours of service to the college each term. ‘‘This is key to the success of students’ experiences here because they know they have the support and commitment of their parents behind them,’’ Mr Laussen says. A hallmark of the Junior School is a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, alongside an enquiry-based approach to the broader curriculum. ‘‘A ‘You Can Do It’ program is another emphasis’’, says Mr Laussen, ‘‘which is based on developing confidence, persistence, organisation, getting along and resilience.’’ Art Costa’s ‘Habits of Mind’, highlighting 16

habits to help individuals be successful, is provided to Middle School students. ‘‘They are asked to consider these habits when planning, reflecting on and undertaking tasks and in their personal endeavours,’’ says Mr Laussen. ‘‘And Canowindra, the year 9 campus, allows students to focus on their individual development and maintain peer interaction through an integrated hands-on program.’’ One student reaping the benefits of Overnewton’s education is year 11 student, Dino Vlachos, who was presented with a Spirit of Anzac award from the Premier for his essay on the Anzac spirit.

Draw brings no joy to Cavaliers BY LANCE JENKINSON GREEN Gully Cavaliers and Melbourne Knights played out a 1-1 draw in the Victorian Premier League local derby at Green Gully Reserve on Saturday. It would have been a totally different story had it not been for late heroics of Cavs goalkeeper Kieran Gonzalez. Gonzalez denied Knights penalty taker Thomas Fraser from the spot with a save in the 92nd minute. It was a drama-filled second half with both goals coming a minute apart. Mathew Sanders put the Cavaliers in front with a headed goal from a corner in the 57th minute. Fraser, the hero turned villain for the Knights, answered back a minute later to earn a share of the points. The draw did the Cavaliers few favours, remaining bogged down in the bottom half of the table while the Knights are still in the top six. In state league 2, Sydenham Park moved into mid-table and stifled the progress of Keilor Park in a 2-1 win at Keilor Lodge Reserve. In the Friday night game, Westgate again dropped a point under lights at Ardeer Reserve, drawing 1-1 with Brunswick City. It was happy days for local clubs in state league 3 with Westvale, North Sunshine Eagles and Cairnlea all winning. Westvale romped over Altona City 4-0 at McKechnie Reserve to steer away from the relegation zone. North Sunshine reaped three priceless points on the road in a 2-1 victory over Melbourne University to remain in touching distance of top side Sporting Whittlesea. Cairnlea is on the rise as well after edging Banyule City by a goal. In state league 4, Maribyrnong Greens went down 2-1 to the in-form Williamstown away at JT Gray Reserve.

FFV bid to fill gaps as applicants sought for new league BY TEO PELLIZZERI THE most extensive soccer reform ever undertaken in Victoria is counting down to decision time as Football Federation Victoria awaits applications for its new state league structure. The National Premier Leagues Victoria is set to become the top state league competition next year and the FFV is inviting expressions of interest. While the FFV has remained tight-lipped about expressions of interest received so far, the Weekly understands the number of applications that will be submitted by the May 31 deadline will be in double figures. Football Federation Australia is rolling out its national premier leagues model to fill what it [ 30 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

believes are ‘‘key gaps in the talented player development pathway’’. The overhaul will see the end of the springsummer youth competition Victorian Champions League and also divide winter FFV leagues into NPLV and community competitions. The divide means NPLV clubs will act as representative clubs for ‘‘zones’’ to be set by FFV, and may only recruit players from the community clubs of their catchment area. The FFV is requiring a clear separation between NPLV clubs and community clubs, one or the other, meaning a successful NPLV outfit cannot also field teams in community divisions. At this stage the FFV is asking for ‘‘applicants’’, meaning existing clubs in their current form can apply to be part of the NPLV, as well as

May 14, 2013

merged clubs or even newly formed entities. However, the FFV has also released an extensive checklist of requirements for any applicant. These include the mandatory fielding of 12 grades, and a limit of one junior team per grade. The NPLV men’s and women’s leagues will, in theory, then replace the existing VPL and WVPL competitions. To put the requirements in context, the only existing FFV club with a team in both the men’s and women’s premier leagues is South Melbourne. An extensive list of coaching credentials required for each NPLV grade, from under-12s up to open age, has also been published by the FFV. The FFV has said it intends to have two NPLV conferences to cover the entire state, should numbers allow.

Falcons show grit A LION-HEARTED City West Falcons forced a 48-all draw with Peninsula Waves in the Victorian Netball League championship. The Falcons had only seven fit top-tier players, with Demi Woodlock missing with illness and Liz Watson unavailable for selection. Of course, they tired late in a thrilling game at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night, but the spirited Falcons found a way to claim a share of the points under trying circumstances. ‘‘We were pretty light on,’’ Falcons coach Marg Lind told the Weekly. ‘‘Given the fact that we had to run seven throughout the game, it was good to get a draw, it’s better than a loss.’’ The Falcons came out like a house on fire to lead by six goals at the first break. They would keep hold of the advantage until the last quarter. This was mainly due to their goalers Julia Knott and Maggie Lind putting on a clinic under the cylinder. Knott and Lind combined for a 93 per cent shooting accuracy, landing 48 from 52 shots. Knott was superb, landing 36 from 39 attempts. Lind made the most of limited opportunities with 12 from 13. ‘‘We had seven less shots, so we were lucky the goalers shot at 93 per cent, ’’ Lind said. ‘‘Both goalers were really good.’’ There was not the same love for the work of the Falcons mid-court. Praised seven days earlier, they came crashing back to earth after a disappointing showing that allowed the Waves to get back into the contest. ‘‘We were about seven up early in the piece and let them back in it,’’ Lind said. ‘‘Our mid-court took their foot off the pedal, lost a bit of concentration and gave them an opportunity.’’ When you think you have the Falcons’ measure, this champion team gets up off the canvas and gives one more yelp. From three goals down, they managed to square the ledger late and gain a valuable share of the points to keep them in touch with the top two. Watson is set to return for the Falcons against North East Blaze tomorrow night, while new mum and goalkeeper Peta Fay could be a shock inclusion a month after giving birth. Meanwhile, VU-Western Lightning continued its dominance over the championship, turning the mid-point on top of the ladder. The Lightning improved to 8-1 after a 47-32 win over the Yarra Valley Grammar Ariels. VNL Championship: City West Falcons 48 Peninsula Waves 48, VU-Western Lightning 47 Yarra Valley Grammar Ariels 32 — Lance Jenkinson

Dragons pay dearly for poor first half A SPIRITED second half was not enough for Sunshine Heights to overcome Wyndham Vale in the Western Region Football League on Saturday. The Falcons set up the win with a six-goal second term, one that had them leading by 22 points at the main break. The first quarter saw Wyndham Vale eke out a three-point lead, with Sunshine Heights left to rue some missed opportunities — they had seven scoring shots to four. In a low-scoring second half the Dragons outscored their opponents. Three goals came in the third quarter to close the gap to just seven points at the final break. But they kicked only one goal in the final term as the Falcons calmly slotted two. The final margin was 15 points. Dragons coach Daniel Xuereb said the first half cost his team. ‘‘I was pretty disappointed in the first half,’’ he said. ‘‘They dominated and the scoreline flattered us at half-time.’’

BY DANIEL PAPROTH EVEN a strong wind could not stop Sunshine in the Western Region Football League on Saturday, the Kangaroos running out 63-point winners over Hoppers Crossing. Sunshine set up the win with a brilliant first half of football. Kicking with the wind in the opening term Sunshine had 11 shots on goal, registering seven majors, and had a 23-point lead at the first break. But it was the second quarter that really impressed. Kicking against the breeze the Kangaroos still managed five goals, and kept the Warriors to just 1.4 for the term. By half-time — and with Sunshine to be aided by the wind in the third — the game was effectively over, the Kangaroos up by 46 points. Sunshine increased the lead during a relatively even third quarter, reaching triple figures and 52 points in front by the final break. Both teams had plenty of opportunities in front of goal in the last quarter, but again it was Sunshine who took the advantage. The Kangaroos booted six for the term as Hoppers rued five behinds. Patrick Wiggins was the leading man for Sunshine with six goals while Ben Humphrey and Russell Douglas were sensational. Sunshine coach Brett Jacobs was stoked with the win, saying his team adhered to two game plans laid out by the coaches. ‘‘It was probably a three to four goal wind so we went in with two game plans,’’ he said. ‘‘We had a style that we wanted to play with the wind and a style against it. And all credit to the players, they were disciplined and played that way throughout the game. ‘‘It was very effective. After kicking with it in the first we really set up the win in that second quarter. The players worked really hard.’’ Jacobs said the Kangaroos, who now sit third on the ladder with a 4-1 record, had had a solid start to the season. Sunshine is away to St Albans this Saturday. Deer Park continued its unbeaten start to the year with a 123-point win over Albion while St Albans had a 45-point win over Yarraville Seddon.

Big relief for coach as gritty Lions overpower Burgers TAYLORS Lakes coach Steve Burns let out a sigh of relief as the Lions ran out three-goal winners over West Coburg in the Essendon District Football League on Saturday. With 10 minutes left on the clock, the scores were level and West Coburg looked poised to take the points before the Lions booted the late goals necessary to get an 18-point win. They are now two games clear of the Burgers in fourth. With a strong wind blowing, one Burns estimated as a five-goal breeze,

the Lions started the game in good, if inaccurate, style. They had nine shots to three in the opening term but converted only three. West Coburg pegged it back in the second term to be within four points at half-time before Taylors Lakes again missed opportunities to close out its opponent in the third quarter — 10 shots on goal but only three converted, meaning the Burgers trailed by just seven points at the final break. ‘‘At the end of the day I was just

happy to win,’’ said Burns of the game. ‘‘We finished off the game well but we butchered that many chances in the first and third quarters and it nearly came back to bite us. We had plenty of the ball inside 50 but our ball use and our composure hurt us. I think our preseason got us through.’’ In division 2, Hillside beat Roxburgh Park by 21 points while Keilor Park lost to Moonee Valley by 45. Keilor played its round five match at the start of the season and had the week off. — Daniel Paproth
