vent or ganisers and the Sta te G overnment are sick of tick et re-sellers makin g big profi t mar gins and rippin g off consumers, and have warned they will crack down on scalpers.

NSW Minister for F air Tradin g, An thony R oberts this w eek announced new la ws to protec t consumers f rom ticket sc alping and tick et f raud when buying tickets to major sport, concert or entertainment events.

Mr R oberts said the NS W G overnment w ill set clear r ules so fans are made a ware of the terms and conditions when either selling or purchasing a ticket on the secondary market.

“These new la ws w ill improve transparenc y in the mark etplace, protec t consumers and allo w the ev ent or ganiser to e nforce their te rms and conditions to protec t g enuine fans from tick et scalping and fraud,” Mr Roberts said.

“These reforms have the support of the nation’s sporting bodies because regrettably, genuine fans have been ripped off b y tick et sc alpers ei ther charging sky - high prices, or sellin g tick ets tha t don’t actually exist.

Anthony Roberts announces the proposed new laws this week “Even if a purchased ticket is genuine, the ticket may still be worthless, if the event owner cancels the ticket for bein g resold in breach of i ts terms and conditions.

“Often the perpetra tor simply disappears lea ving the consumer out of pocket.”

Mr Roberts said previous attempts to stamp out ticket sc alping had not really had an y major impact, and it was time for a long-term solution.

“Ev ent or ganisers ha ve tried to ad dress tick et scalping with varying success by allocating tickets

to sporting clubs, limi ting the number of tick ets that can be bought by any one person and staging the release of tickets,” he said.

As part of the proposed new la ws, re- sellers must pro vide a clear and legible imag e of the ticket, showing the tick et number, row and sea t number but with the barcode obscured.

They must also include details of the terms and conditions of sale of the ticket, and notice of any condition which allo ws the tick et to be c ancelled if it is resold.

Drugs crisis rolls on and there are deeper questions still to be asked

troy.dodds@innercityweekender.com.au

Sometimes it is not the answ ers that get us into trouble, but the questions.

The questions w e don’t want to ask, the questions we fail to ask, and the questions w e know we need to ask of ourselves.

One of the big news stories of 2013 has been the ASADA scandal in Australian sport – a story that took a very significant twist last week when NRL star Sandor E arl appeared on ‘ The Footy Show’ to tell his story.

Earl, f or t hose n ot i nterested i n f ootball, w as the first NRL pla yer to be handed an inf raction notice in this whole ASADA scandal, over his use of the banned substance CJC-1295.

He made various claims durin g his in terview about his former club, the Panthers, and the club itself has responded widely to those.

The righ ts and wron gs of all of this w ill be sorted out by smarter and more involved people than myself. But I do want to make a few points.

Firstly, I commend S andor E arl for the wa y he spok e and presen ted himself on ‘ The Footy Show’ last Thursday.

Anyone who believes the stereotype that rugby league players are all c avemen earning millions of dollars a year should do themselv es a fa vour and find a copy of the interview online.

Secondly, I commend the Panthers for their response – i t was sw ift, via a Warren Wilson press conference the ne xt da y and v ia Phil G ould’s

TROY DODDS @doseofdoddsy

I commend the Panthers for their response

quite emotional column in The Sun-Herald over the weekend that followed.

The question tha t probably hasn ’t been ask ed enough is how Stephen Dank was allowed to mix so freely with Sandor Earl in the first place?

If we accept that Dank was not employed by the Panthers (and w e ha ve no reason not to ), then why was the blok e at training long enough and regularly enough to form a bond with Earl?

One c an only hope tha t this stor y proves how closely NRL clubs need to k eep a firm ey e on every aspect of their operations. The who, what, where, when and why needs to be asked of every department and every situation.

And of S andor Earl, the questionin g over why he kept so much of this f rom the club ’s doctors and staff has not been nearly intense enough.

Earl clearly wan ts people to accept tha t he wasn’t supported enough by Penrith, but admits he played a role in k eeping secrets – you cannot have it both ways.

But perhaps the best question of all, and a question tha t has a whole ran ge of loaded answers, was asked by a very emotional Jan Earl – Sandor’s mum. She v ery simply ask ed who was advising kids like her son.

One of the big questions here surrounds wh y Sandor E arl did wha t he did. One g ets the feeling it wasn't to cheat. Rugby league may one day find some troubling answers.

Local real estate market heats up as figures show surge in auction numbers

local news

The inner west is growing in popularity with those looking to purchase a new home BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

H

ome owners in the Marrickville Local G overnment Area are taking advantage of a hot property mark et w ith the number of auction listings up by an incredible 25.7 per cent on last year.

Australian P roperty M onitors (APM) figures sho w tha t in 2012 the number of homes listed for auc tion betw een J une to August was 801. In the same time this year, the number of homes listed for auction had climbed to 1007.

Senior E conomist Dr Andrew W ilson from APM said the numbers were an indicator of the gro wing popularity of the inner west region.

“The inner w est continues to be one of Sydney’s hottest housing market regions.

Despite typic ally pro viding the highest number of auc tion listings of an y of S yd-

The Harrison Street house that sold for $1,000,000 before auction ney’s regions, the inner west also provides the highest clearance rates,” he said.

Mr W ilson said w ith the property market gaining in momentum with buyers looking to g et in to the mark et, i t wasn ’t surprising for sellers to use auctions to sell their homes.

Ed T ancred, S ales Manag er for Ra y

White Marrickville and Dulw ich Hill, said the number of buy ers from other parts of Sydney lookin g to purchase in the Marrickville area from other areas was pushing up the prices.

“Our offices are g etting 30- 40 per cen t of North Shore and Inner East people who are selling their apartments and choosing

to live in this area,” he told the Inner City Weekender this week.

Property is also being snapped up fast.

“In Harrison Street, Marrickville we were looking to sell a t around the $8 00,000 mark at auction. It was sol d prior to auction for $1, 000,000 and in only four da ys of being on the market,” Mr Tancred said.

NSW Police are urging Sydneysiders to plan ahead as more than 1.7 million people are expected to descend on Sydney to celebrate the International Fleet Review and a range of activities over the long weekend.

Operation Coventry is the highvisibility policing operation for the International Fleet Review and will see additional general duties, plain clothes and specialist police patrol the Sydney CBD and harbour to provide a safe and enjoyable time for all spectators.

The operation will include General Duties police, with assistance from specialist commands including Police Transport Command, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Public

“The population of Marrickville is getting older,” said Mayor of Marrickville, Jo Haylen.

“In 1991 more than nine per cent of the population were over 65. 10 years later, this had increased to 10.6 per cent. And forecasts show that by 2022 it’s expected that about 13 per cent of our population will be over 65 years.”

The 2014 Inner West Seniors’ Calendar aims to prevent accidents by raising older people’s awareness of road safety issues.

A road safety message is displayed on each month of the calendar along with a number of handy hints that can help prevent accidents and reduce risks.

Local residents can pick up a copy of the calendar from Council.

New Mayor’s vision for unity as she promises to be a leader for the people

BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

N

ew Mayor Jo Haylen has set her sights on becomin g a “leader for the people ” and deli vering the best outcomes for all in the Marrickville L ocal G overnment Area in her tenure for the next 12 months.

Having e xperienced poli tics in her university da ys, Cr Ha ylen understands the intricate na ture of the wa y poli tics pla ys out at all levels.

But she’s also tasted poli tical life in the biggest ways in Canberra.

“I worked for the federal g overnment in Canberra where y ou spend most of y our time in meetin gs w ith bureauc rats, who talk to other bureauc rats. You don’t hear from people first hand,” she said.

But all of tha t is about to chan ge and she’s lookin g for ward to communic ating with people first hand.

“Residents don’t care about what political label you wear, they care about getting things done. S eeing their parks are upgraded, the footpa th is fix ed and essential services are delivered to them,” said Cr Haylen, who is Marrickv ille’s youngest ever female mayor.

And unlik e the poli tics outside of lo cal g overnment, Cr Ha ylen relishes the thought of working with her fellow Councillors no matter what side of the poli tical fence they may stand.

“I’ve worked really w ell w ith my North Ward Counc illors Mark Gar diner who ’s a Liberal Counc illor and w ears tha t badg e, Sylvie Ellsmore who w ears the Green badge and myself as the Labor Councillor. We’ve worked really well together on many projects,” she said.

“Local government is the level where so many issues are shared. I’m excited about providing leadership to w ork w ith all Councillors to see good things come about for residents of Marrickville.”

She said the k ey to enhanc ing the characteristics of Marrickv ille is to buil d relationships betw een residen ts. P roviding open spaces for residents to communicate with each other is one wa y the community will be strengthened.

Slow driver catches the eye of local police officers

Items stolen in brazen Marrickville robbery

About 12.40am last Friday morning police were performing a routine patrol when they observed a vehicle travelling very slowly. Due to the manner of driving police turned to follow the vehicle and at this time the vehicle accelerated and sped off. Police activated their warning devices and stopped the vehicle.

The driver was subjected to a roadside breath test that returned a positive result.

As a result the driver was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station for a breath analysis.

The breath analysis returned a high range reading.

Police immediately suspended the driver’s licence and charged the driver with high range PCA.

About 10pm on Saturday, September 28 a female was putting shopping items in her car which was parked on Arthur Street near the intersection of Illawarra Road, Marrickville. Whilst doing this she had placed a number of items including a camera, iPad and Mac Book next to the car on the ground that she had purchased earlier in the day.

During this time a male has walked past the car and grabbed the items on the ground. The victim chased the male along Arthur Street and lost sight of him at Livingstone Road. The male was described as wearing a hooded jumper and jeans. No further description was given.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact police.

Once inside the premises the person/s have rummaged through one of the rooms of the property.

The property taken during the break and enter incident included numerous items of jewellery.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Marrickville Local Area Command on 9568 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

80,000 footy fans

battle it out for the ultimate prize in Australian rugby league.

With such a big crowd in attendance, Marrickville residents planning to attend the big game are being advised to take public transport to the venue.

Public transport is included in the match ticket price.

Extra trains and buses will be running to ANZ Stadium from right across Sydney with transport officials hoping people will leave the car at home.

The exact crowd figure for Sunday is a mystery given tickets went on sale months ago, with many thousands purchased by South Sydney Rabbitohs supporters, who expected their team to be there on the big day.

The Rabbitohs went down to Manly last Friday night, however, and many thousands of tickets have been placed on Gumtree and eBay. The NRL is encouraging league fans who have tickets to get along to the game no matter what, as it is one of the great days and spectacles in Australian sport.

FASHION

When to spend big on fashion items KATHERINE TWEED katherine.tweed@ innercityweekender. com.au

These days, walking from one store and into another can be the difference between spending $100, $1,000 or even $10,000. I recently went shopping for a new handbag and in my head, I had a rough idea of what I wanted it to look like but I was open to inspiration. I trudged all day long through store after store, trying to find the ‘right’ one but by the end of the day I was so mentally and physically exhausted that I had to give up.

It wasn’t the sheer amount of bags that exhausted me, although there were thousands, it was the range in price that I just couldn’t get my head around.

In one department store, I could buy a handbag for as little as $20 and one for over $10,000 and that’s not to mention the bags that were ‘price upon application’.

For some people, spending a lot on fashion is no drama but what about the average people out there, the ones who can’t afford to just spend wherever they want to – how do we choose what to pull out the big bucks on and what we scrimp on?

Variety stores like Kmart and Target are great for picking up those basic items at a reasonable price but there are some things you simply can’t do cheap.

The first is shoes. I was always a serial cheap shoe-buyer and I loved it but that was until I pulled out my wallet for a pair of decent shoes. I have never looked back – decent shoes are better for our feet and are much more comfortable.

You can’t get away with a cheap suit. A cheap suit will stand out next to a good one, and not for any positive reasons. If you spend a little extra to get something that fits right and has quality stitching and lining, it will last a lot longer too.

Leather jackets and jeans are also worth the extra cash!

HEALTHY LIFE

fat does not always mean it is better for you.

Always check your facts and details

FITNESS

Do your research and make the right calls

Different and unique forms of exercise

Some health foods are killing us. Most people are familiar w ith mac ro nutrients, these are the broad groups c alled protein, fats and carbohydrates.

None of these groups are bad. You use all of them to live.

I read a study the other day that said much of people’s knowledge on fitness ELISHA topics comes from media and advertisSTEIN ing. Ads saying ‘low fat’ sound healthy to a lot of people, but w e are consumRegistered nurse and midwife ing more lo w fa t produc ts than ev er before. So why are we still getting fatter than ever?

Low cholesterol is another line, some people no w think this is a deadly poison. Cholesterol is essen tial in our bodies and helps make up and repair our cells. Our body can manufacture it as it is essential for brain health.

Look up Chris Masterjohn Phd on the net for an e xpert’s view on what cholesterol really does, or search for Anthony Colpo –he sho ws women with higher cholesterol li ve longer!

Your brain is the most cholesterol rich organ in the body!

There are many studies that show low cholesterol negatively effects brain health.

Research by an Iowa State University scientist suggests that cholesterol-reducing drugs known as statins may lessen brain function.

Yeon-Kyun Shin, a biophysics professor in the department of biochemistry, biophysics and molec ular biology, says the results of his study sho ws that drugs that inhibit the liver from making cholesterol may also keep the brain from making cholesterol, which is vital to efficient brain function.

At the end of the day, it’s your body, you always get the final say, so make an informed decision because it’s you that has to live with the decision.

Do your research and make sure it all adds up.

So you’re not into gyms or standard “exercise” but you know you feel great when you’re your fit so what can you do? Well thanks to nerdfitness.com here are some ideas.

Martial arts: Be honest. You watched ‘The Matrix’, you heard Neo go “I kno w Kung Fu” and y ou wanted to be able to one day say the same thing. Whether it’s Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Tae Kwon D o, Karate or C apoeira, there’s a martial art out there that will make you feel like a badass.

Build a standin g desk: I t’s no surprise tha t there’s a stron g correlation between sitting all day and an early grave. Why not fix your posture, strengthen your legs, and spend the da y being more productive with a standing desk?

Stop meeting for coffee: If somebody wants to meet up with you for coffee, suggest something active; throwing a baseball, tossing a f risbee, going for a hik e – anything that gets you up and moving. I say yes to pretty much anybody that invites me to play golf. Wink wink.

Clean: Ugh, nobody lik es to clean the house or apartmen t.

I certainly don’t. So I make a game out of i t. I see ho w much I can accomplish w ith a sin gle song blasting at max v olume.

Of course, after g etting through one son g, I figure “ well, I’ve already started, might as well keep going”.

Do handstands: This is a fun ac tivity that builds up serious arm and core stren gth and will leave you sweating bullets after even a few minutes. Find a park, g o do handstands, c artwheels, somersaults, and whatever else makes you feel young again. Go on, give it a try!

Parkour: The beginner’s guide to Parkour is one of the most popular on Nerd Fitness. I don’t care how old you are, there’s no reason y ou c an’t g et started w ith rollin g around in y our yard and vaulting over picnic tables and bike racks.

Playout: Is Parkour too serious for you? Try a playout! Spiderman was on to something – climbing walls, swinging from skyscrapers, and poppin g flips around the bad guys. Y ou might not be able to swing between buildings, but you can definitely visit a playground in your area and get creative!

Ten wakes up to new show The new hosts of Channel T en’s upcomin g breakfast sho w ‘Wake Up’ aren’t too worried about their longstanding competition on the other networks, instead the trio want to focus on making the best TV possible for their viewers.

Natasha Ex elby, J ames Ma thison and Na tarsha B elling are currently on a whirlwind Australian adventure hopping from town to town in their big red ‘W ake Up’ bus to find out wha t real Australians want in a breakfast show.

“This new sho w is about findin g out wha t our audience wants and I think certain markets are forgotten,” Belling said.

“We’ve had some fan tastic feedback but one of the main messages people ha ve said is they wan t to see real people have real conversations and we think that will be easy for us to do because we are throwing away the autocue and scripts,” Exelby added.

Another exciting initiative the show is introducing to v iewers is localised news bulletins in each state, something which is common overseas but very unique in the Australian breakfast TV arena.

“Often y ou’ll wa tch the na tional news and there ’ll be a shooting out west but if you’re living in Queensland that’s not really relevant to y ou. Similarly if ther e’s a storm in Queensland you don’t really c are in P enrith, so I think tha t will be a major difference,” Exelby said.

While B elling and Ex elby ha ve been lon gstayers on Ten’s various news bulletins over the years their male co-host in Ma thison has joined the team w ith a v ery different television upbringing behind him.

Mathison’s claim to fame was co - hosting ‘Australian Idol’ from 2003 to 2008 before quitting the hit sho w to w ork on fello w Channel T en series ‘The Project’.

“I don’t kno w if I’ m fully prepa red to w ork in news but the beauty is I’ m w orking alon gside two excellent journalists who can fill in any gaps I might have,” Mathison said.

The show is set to debut next month.

rlington Oval was the venue for a football celebration last Sunday when the State L eague Di vision 2 Grand Final was won by Stanmore Hawks beating Fairfield City Lions 1-0.

On a warm Spring afternoon the Hawks played a har d fough t match in f ront of around 1, 000 spectators who witnessed Nick Paradisis score in the 12th minute.

Hawks P resident T ony Pan teli said the pla yers did g o in to the ma tch feelin g the pressure of winning especially after taking out the minor premiership, effectively handing them the club championship for this year.

“Our e xpectations w ere high. L eading the competition all year we could never go down in the Grand Final, partic ularly after bein g minor premiers,” he said.

He said it was now up to Football NSW to promote the club.

The Stanmore Hawks celebrate winning the 2013 Grand Final “The Grand Final match was crucial for us because it would prove we should not have been relegated to State League Division 2. Taking out the club championship means i t’s up to F ootball NSW to promote us to Division 1,” he said.

Nothing seems to bother the club ho wever, not ev en the though t of bein g promoted to a higher league.

“We’re c apable of bein g competi tive in Division 1, but if w e want to be in the top three teams for that division we need to bring two to three players into that squad,” Mr Pan teli told the Weekender.

From the outset, this team set their sigh ts on winning the competition.

Mission accomplished – in style.
