PM PROMISES TAX CUTS BEFORE NEXT ELECTION

M

alcolm Turnbull promises personal income tax cuts will be announced before the 2019 federal election, running alongside his government’s push for cutting the company tax rate cut to 25 per cent for all businesses.

“How much we can do and when we do it will depend on the budgetary circumstances but we do have the ability to do it,” the prime minister told Sky News on Sunday.

His comments came as the US Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s ambitious tax cuts, which will include lowering the US company tax rate from 35 per cent to 20 per cent.

SEX PREDATOR A RISK FOR VIC FEMALE GPS

F

emale doctors in suburban Melbourne are being exposed to “dangerous and unacceptable situations” by a convicted sex predator who makes appointments only with women, the AMA says.

The Australian Medical Association Victoria issued warnings of the convicted criminal in August and again earlier this month after “several” GPs had appointments with the man.

“During August and November 2017, AMA Victoria has been contacted by some of our GP members who work in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

We understand that several female GPs have been exposed to unacceptable behaviours by a particular male patient,” AMA Victoria president Lorraine Baker said in a statement.

“This person specifically

ALLEGED GROOM DENIES 60 MINUTES CLAIM

A

man has told a Sydney jury he was never married or engaged to a then-teenager, who told 60 Minutes she was kidnapped, taken to Syria and forced to marry her older cousin.

Giving evidence from Damascus via video link, Issam Alassad on Thursday laughed at a suggestion he was covering up a marriage to Nadia Tabbaa to avoid embarrassment at her having left Syria when she was 18.

Nadia’s parents, Mouhammad Tabbaa and his former wife Pamela Tabbaa, are suing the Nine Network for defamation in the NSW Supreme Court over a 60 Minutes program, broadcast in 2014, in which their daughter said she was kidnapped at 13, taken to Syria and forced to marry her relative.

requests to see female GPs. It is alleged that this person has a sexual offence record. The police have been informed, but appear limited in their powers to assist.”

Dr Baker says GP clinics would usually be considered “very safe places” to work, however there was a danger in one-on-one appointments.

In August, AMA Victoria sent out a short alert to members warning of the 40-year-old requesting to see only female GPs. “The male usually rings and says: ‘Dr X has seen me in the past and can I make another appointment to see her’,” the warning read.

It’s been reported the man lives in Corella Place, a sex offender facility in Ararat run by Corrections Victoria which has been contacted for comment.

PERTH CRICKETER CHARGED WITH RAPE IN UK

A

young Australian cricketer has been charged with two counts of rape in England’s west.

Alex Hepburn, 21, is due before the Worcester Magistrates Court on December 7, Worcestershire County Cricket Club said in a statement.

The Perth-born allrounder was charged on November 9 after a police investigation into an incident on April 1.

Hepburn’s father, Alex Hepburn Sr, told Perth’s The West Australian that his son plans to “strongly defend” the allegations and says the incident at his flat was consensual.

The club said Hepburn had been suspended on full pay pending further investigation.

SIA, NICK CAVE, LORDE SCORE GRAMMY NOD

The Aussie TASH raises serious cash A

s Aussie men eagerly prepare to bid farewell to their carefully cultivated moustaches, charity organisation Movember is set to beat its fundraising record.

More than 70,000 Australian ‘Mo Bros’ and ‘Mo Sisters’ participated in the month-long fundraising drive in 2017, a five per cent jump on 2016 when $80 million was raised.

“I’m pinching myself, I’m blown away by how successful this year has been,” founder Travis Garone told AAP at a Movember event in Melbourne on Thursday.

The initiative has seen men clean-shaving and growing moustaches from scratch throughout the month of November to raise funds for men’s health issues including prostate and testicular cancers and mental health.

It’s been going since 2003.

“It was a joke to grow mo’s and see what we could do, and now I look at the impact we have ... and I just can’t believe it,” Garone said.

INXS musician Kirk Pengilly, a prostate cancer survivor, has his signature moustache shaved to prepare for the start of Movember

“I’m so glad the typical Aussie bloke has jumped on board with this.”

A string of local celebrities also jumped behind the cause this year, including INXS rocker Kirk Pengilly, who joined the charity in 2014 following his own battle with prostate cancer.

“When you’re looking at things like testicular cancer and prostate cancer ... it’s dealing with manhood, with your penis, and men kind of don’t really talk about that,” he told AAP. “Men need to feel like they can talk about their issues without feeling like it will make them feminine.”

In November alone, 468 Australian men died from prostate cancer, testicular cancer or suicide, while suicide is the leading cause of death for Australian men between the ages of 15 and 44.

FORMER INXS STAR SAYS HE MISSES BUM SLAPS

A

mid sexual harassment claims levelled against Don Burke, former INXS guitarist Kirk Pengilly says he preferred the 1960s when you could slap a woman on the bum and it was taken as a compliment.

Pengilly, attending a Movember charity event in Melbourne on Thursday, said men were starting to feel they can’t even pay a

woman a compliment because it could be seen as sexual harassment.

“I really loved the 60s and 70s when life was so simple and you could slap a woman on the butt and it was taken as a compliment, not as sexual harassment,” he told AAP when asked about the claims against Don Burke and Harvey Weinstein.

Vic big wet was not ‘10/10’ as predicted

T

he Bureau of Meteorology shouldn’t have called the weekend’s big wet a “10/10” weather event, Victoria’s Emergency Commissioner says.

“I’m not saying the bureau has got it wrong, but ‘10/10’ ... was overused,” Craig Lapsley told ABC radio on Monday.

“I think that set a bar that was right up there.”

The city was told to bunker down for an “absolutely massive” rainfall event, with most outdoors events cancelled.

“Half the inhabitants of Melbourne have never ever seen anything like this,” the Bureau of Meteorology’s senior forecaster Scott Williams warned Victorians on Thursday.

“It is an event that poses a threat to life.”

But Melbourne was spared the brunt of the storm, with just 107mm of a predicted 200mm recorded in suburbs Kew, Doncaster and Blackburn.

Regional towns of Myrtleford and Euroa, however, were inundated with rain, with some homes and a caravan park damaged.

A community meeting will be held at Euroa on Monday to discuss clean up plans.

Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan and Victorian Minister for Emergency Services James Merlino on Sunday announced a disaster assistance package for affected Victorians.

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION AT PADDY’S MARKETS

A

man who allegedly attempted to abduct a young girl from Paddy’s Markets in Sydney has been arrested after he was earlier seen taking an interest in two other children.

NSW Police say the 41-yearold man attended the popular markets in Haymarket on Sunday afternoon and was observed watching a small child.

He then approached a second child, an 18-month-old girl, before the toddler’s parents noticed and picked her up.

The man was then seen ushering a four or five-year-old girl out on to Hay Street before witnesses intervened and the 41-year-old was detained.

He was subsequently charged with offensive conduct and breaching bail, and was due to appear at Central Local Court on Monday.

Detectives are appealing to the parents of the third child to come forward and assist with their investigation.

WATCHDOG TO PROBE GOOGLE, FACEBOOK IMPACT

T

The inquiry will consider the impact of such sites on media and advertising markets, as well as the level of choice and quality of news for consumers.

he future of a controversial Queensland mega-mine has suffered another setback with project funding from China looking increasingly unlikely.

The Greens have heralded the end of the project after a second Chinese bank ruled out providing any funding for the Adani Carmichael coal mine in Queensland’s Galilee Basin.

“Any financier with any sense doesn’t want Adani,” Greens senator Andrew Bartlett told reporters in Canberra on Monday.

“It’s time for Adani to give it up, save their money and for the politicians of Queensland to focus on the issues that will deliver genuine jobs for regional Queensland.”

A swing against the LNP in the recent state election showed that people don’t want corporations getting special deals, Senator Bartlett said.

“They want the community put first.”

Overnight, The Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) responded to reports Adani was seeking Chinese financing by distancing itself from the project.

“ICBC has not been, and does not intend

to be, engaged in arranging financing for this project,” a statement on the bank’s website.

Another of the ‘big four’ Chinese banks, the China Construction Bank has already ruled out supporting the project.

Australia’s own ‘big four’ banks have ruled out supporting the project, Likewise, the Queensland Labor government similarly promised to veto a federal government loan to the project during the recent state election.

Yet Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie said the Adani mine was still an “incredible project” that would be an important source of jobs for regional Queensland.

“I hope that private investment can be found to ensure that project does come to fruition,” Senator McKenzie said.

The senator campaigned in Rockhampton and Keppel during Queensland’s state election.

“On the ground, if you spoke to the young voters, if you spoke to the workers, they wanted to see this project go ahead because they knew it meant local jobs in that north Queensland area.”

Don Burke a ‘feral desperado’ Vic MP says

D

isgraced television personality Don Burke is a cowardly, “feral desperado” for trying to dodge accusations of sexual assault by hiding behind autism, a Victorian MP says.

“Having Asperger’s does not make anyone a filthy, perverted sleazebag, it does not lead to sexual assault, it does not lead to the sorts of activity Mr Burke stands accused of,” opposition Autism Spectrum Disorder spokesman Bernie Finn told parliament on Tuesday.

“They’ve had enough to deal with without having to put up with a feral desperado getting on to national television and

slandering them,” Mr Finn said, calling for an apology

from Burke, who has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.

ACCUSED COCAINE SMUGGLERS FACE VIC COURT

O

ne of two Mexican men charged with importing 300kg of cocaine worth $105 million into Melbourne is worried about his safety in prison.

Eduardo Radamez Chavez Gonzalez , 33, and Gabriel Altamirano Galindo, 34, faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday after authorities seized the drug allegedly hidden in pallets of cocoa and coffee powder.

Gonzalez’s barrister, Kurt Esser, said his client “has a genuine concern about his safety in a foreign place”.

“It’s not based on any factual evidence or hearsay,” he told Magistrate Ross Maxted.

“He hasn’t been to jail before.”

Counsel for Galindo, Jasmine Pisasale, also said it was the 34-year-old’s first time in custody.

“He suffers from anxiety,” she added.

DRESSMAKER ‘SCARED’ TO DISCUSS FINN

MURDER A

Galindo and Gonzalez have each been charged with importing a commercial quantity of cocaine on November 10.

Gonzalez faces an additional charge of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of cocaine.

The pair were charged on Wednesday after the drugs were discovered during a raid on an Altona business earlier in November, allegedly concealed in

boxes labelled as food products.

It followed a joint federal and state investigation into Gonzalez, who was first arrested at Melbourne Airport with a small quantity of cocaine earlier in November.

Galindo was arrested on Wednesday after police raided homes at Port Melbourne and Balaclava.

Both men have been remanded into custody to reappear in court on March 22.

dressmaker has admitted he’s too scared to talk about Shirley Finn’s 1975 murder but still told her inquest he has a “feeling” the then vice squad chief organised her execution-style killing.

Glenn Maxwell Properjohn, who made the satin ball gown the brothel madam was wearing when she was shot four times in the head at close range, knew Bernie Johnson well enough to have a spa with him once and described him as both “ruthless” and “quite nice”.

Asked in the WA Coroner’s Court on Thursday if he believed Mr Johnson had anything to do with the murder, Mr Properjohn said: “I think so - he organised it”.

VIC POLICE CRACK BABY FORMULA RACKET

P Aust couple gambles $100,000 on Oscar nod

A

ustralia’s most intriguing Oscar campaign this Hollywood awards season may not involve A-list hopefuls Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie or Nicole Kidman.

It likely belongs to Australian husband-and-wife Sean Meehan and Sam McGarry.

The Los Angeles-based filmmaking couple took a major gamble by pouring $A100,000 of their hard-earned savings into a film they shot in minus 14 degrees Celsius weather at the

base of the Canadian Rockies on a ridiculously brief schedule.

Next week they will discover if their short film, Lost Face, is in the running for the Academy Awards.

“We worked our asses off on commercials to make the money, tightened our belts and saved up,” Meehan, 44, told AAP. Lost Face has blazed an impressive trail at film festivals around the world, winning 46 awards including 26 best film prizes.

A win at the Edmonton International Film Festival qualified it for Oscar consideration and next week the Academy will cut 160 eligible films in the short film category to 10.

The final five will be announced on January 23 at the Academy’s official nomination ceremony.

Battling and beating the odds with Lost Face is not new for Meehan and McGarry.

“We did the hard yards on this one,” Meehan said.

www.camberwells

The 14 minute film is based on author Jack London’s short story of the same name.

It is set in the mid-1800s and follows the plight of Russian fur thieves captured by members of a North American tribe.

Meehan and McGarry only had enough money to shoot Lost Face in three days and unlike many short films, they paid all of their actors and crew.

Every scene was outdoors and because it was December there were only seven hours of daylight per day and the temperature never rose above freezing.

“When you’re looking at 14 minutes of screen time and having just 21 hours to shoot it, it is not much,” he said.

The couple moved from Sydney to LA seven years ago and have a 10-year-old daughter, Ruby.

They are in demand worldwide for shooting TV commercials with clients including McDonald’s, Volkswagen and Tourism Australia and will be in Portugal next week to shoot a Samsung ad.

They are hoping their $A100,000 gamble on Lost Face will not only lead to an Oscar nomination, but convince Hollywood they have the talent to make feature films.

olice have cracked a black-market baby formula ring in Melbourne, arresting seven people and finding hundreds of tins of allegedly stolen milk powder.

Officers raided properties at Richmond, Sunshine and Braybrook on Thursday, uncovering more than $300,000 worth of allegedly stolen property including baby formula and beauty products and about $500,000 cash.

A 34-year-old Footscray man has been charged with handling stolen goods and six others, ranging in age from 31 to 77, are being interviewed.

Gardner will be working alongside host Karl Stefanovic, after one of the worst-kept secrets in TV was finally confirmed.

It’s a return for Gardner, who spent seven years as part of the Today show line-up until 2014.

“He (Stefanovic) is predictably unpredictable and it really is going to be a

case of hold on to your hat,” Gardner said on radio Nova on Thursday morning, not long after the announcement.

She praised her new co-host, describing him as a really skilled broadcaster.

“I’ve got a lot to learn from him,” she said.

Stefanovic seemed relieved to finally have a permanent co-host after the furore of Wilkinson’s shock departure six weeks ago.

World spotlight shines on Maralinga horror S

ue Coleman-Haseldine was a toddler crawling around in the dirt when the winds brought the black mist.

Her white nappies on the washing line were burnt.

It was in the 1950s when the British began testing nuclear weapons at Maralinga in the South Australian outback.

The legacy of the bombs dropped continues to haunt the 67-year-old Aboriginal grandmother.

“We weren’t on ground zero at Maralinga, otherwise we would all be dead,” she told AAP. “I was born and grew up on a mission at Koonibba, but the winds came to us.”

Ceduna, the main township before the Nullarbor, is the cancer capital of Australia, Ms Coleman-Haseldine says.

She’s had her thyroid removed and will be on medication for the rest of her life.

Her 15-year-old

granddaughter is also battling thyroid cancer.

There are birth defects and cancers right across the community.

“It’s changed our genes,” she said.

“These diseases weren’t around before the bombs.”

On December 10, Ms Coleman-Haseldine will be in Oslo for the Noble Peace Prize award ceremony.

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is being recognised for its work to achieve a treatybased ban on nuclear weapons.

So far 122 countries have adopted the treaty, excluding Australia and countries with nuclear weapons - the US, UK, Russia, China, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel.

Only three countries have ratified the treaty and 50 are needed for it to become international law.

Sue Coleman-Haseldine ICAN is a grassroots movement that began in Carlton, Melbourne more than a decade ago.

In Norway, Ms ColemanHaseldine will tell the story of her people and their contaminated land.

“You’ve got to keep the past alive to protect the future,” she said.

Ms Coleman-Haseldine hopes Australia will reverse its opposition and sign the treaty.

The Turnbull government has ruled that out but the Labor Party will debate the issue at its national conference next year.

BARTENDER PAID $9500 BY TOP VIC RESTAURANT

O

ne of Melbourne’s most high-profile restaurants has paid a former bartender almost $10,000 after she took the owners to court for underpaying her.

Sorcha Harrop, 24, will withdraw her wage theft court action against Chin Chin and owners the Lucas Group after they agreed to pay her $9500 in back pay and superannuation earned while working at the restaurant from October 2016 to July 2017.

Ms Harrop argued she worked 14 hour days and did at least 12 hours of free labour each week at the restaurant famed for its long queues.

As part of the settlement, the Lucas Group will also conduct an independent audit of current and former employees.

“I am so happy to see Chin Chin admit they underpaid me, and commit to repay other Lucas Group workers who’ve also been ripped off,” Ms Harrop said in a statement on Monday.

“We wanted to send a message to Chin Chin and hospitality employers everywhere that ‘hospo’ workers won’t be silenced about wage theft. When we speak out, we are powerful.”

T

he speeding drink driver who killed a Melbourne nursing student, then fell pregnant after the crash, has been accused of selfishly dragging out the court case.

Subha Anand, 29 was triple the legal blood-alcohol limit when she slammed into the back of 19-year-old Natasha Pigot’s car at Williams Landing in January 2016, killing the young woman.

In the months that followed, Anand married her boyfriend and had a son, delaying her court case.

She pleaded guilty to culpable driving in June, more than 18 months after Ms Pigot was killed.

The victim’s mother Aleacha McMaster on Thursday spoke of the disbelief and heartbreak of losing her daughter.

“I wanted to die with her. How could I live my life without my baby?” she said at Anand’s presentence hearing in the Victorian County Court.

She said Anand never

apologised for what she did, and selfishly delayed court proceedings.

“I don’t think I could ever forgive you,” she said.

“You dragged this out for your own selfish purposes.”

Outside court, Ms McMaster said: “She chose to have the baby, get married and live a different life after she caused this accident.”

Anand has applied to have her child with her while she serves an inevitable prison sentence.

She had been drinking at home on the night of the crash but stormed out after an argument with her boyfriend.

She was travelling an estimated 115km/h in a 70km/h zone moments before she hit Ms Pigot’s car.

“There is no evidence of braking,” prosecutor Brendan Kissane QC said.

She was taken to hospital and later blew a blood-alcohol reading of 0.159 per cent.

“(She was) not in a position to have the proper control of a motor vehicle,” Mr Kissane said.

Anand, who grew up in New Delhi in India, will be sentenced on Friday, her 30th birthday.

She had been on bail but was taken into custody on Thursday before the sentencing.

NKorea’s latest missile is new ICBM

T

he Hwasong-15 missile that North Korea launched this week is a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile which can fly over 13,000km, a South Korean defence ministry spokesman has told Reuters.

Pyongyang said it had test-fired on Wednesday its most advanced missile, putting the US mainland within range, and in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

The latest provocation from the North prompted more insults from US President Donald Trump, who referred to North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un as “Little Rocket Man” and a “sick puppy”.

Trump had also dismissed a Chinese diplomatic effort to rein in North Korea’s weapons program as a failure on Thursday, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Beijing was doing a lot, but could do more to limit oil supplies to Pyongyang.

Despite international condemnation and sanctions, North Korea has continued on

its path towards developing a nuclear-tipped missile that could hit the US. After North Korea released video footage and photographs of Hwasong-15, analysts have said they appeared to show the North was indeed capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and could only be two or three tests away from being combat ready.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Thursday in a phone call with Trump that the new missile was North Korea’s most advanced so far, but it still has some technical issues to settle, like re-entry and terminal guidance system technology.

Trump and Moon pledged to continue applying strong sanctions and pressure on North Korea to bring it to talks.

Addressing an emergency UN Security Council meeting after this week’s missile launch, the US warned North Korea’s leadership it would be “utterly destroyed” if war were to break out.

OLIVER AND OLIVIA TOP AUSSIE BABY NAMES

O

livia has claimed the title of most popular girls’ baby name in Australia, putting it in the company of its male equivalent Oliver.

The girls name deriving from ‘olive’ has climbed two spots to number one in BabyCenter’s 2017 list of the 100 most popular girls names, while Oliver is at the top for boys for the seventh year running.

Kaiden is new on the boys list this year, coming in at 50, while Marley is the highestranked newcomer for girls at number 56.

Xander, Darcy, Isaiah and Zane are among other boys names fresh to the list, while

Anna, Luna, Alyssa and Maisie are new for girls.

Less parents, however, are opting to call their boys Beau, with the name taking the biggest tumble of 34 places to 95th spot.

Indiana had the greatest fall on the girls list, dropping 42 places to rank 88.

Charlie, Riley and Billie/Billy made both lists, with Charlie the most popular of the unsex names, taking seventh place on the boys list and 37th on the girls.

The BabyCenter list is based on the names selected by the popular parenting sites’ members each year.

MUSK’S SA BIG BATTERY TO BEGIN TESTING

T

he world’s largest lithiumion battery being built in South Australia to store renewable energy is about to enter final testing.

Premier Jay Weatherill says Elon Musk’s Tesla company has finished installing the battery powerpacks at Jamestown, in the state’s mid-north, where they are linked to an adjacent wind farm.

He says the 100-megawatt

battery will now be energised and tested to ensure it meets all energy market and state government regulatory requirements.

The premier says the battery will be up and running in time for summer to provide backup power and to help bring stability to the state’s electricity network.

“While others are just talking, we are delivering our energy

plan, making South Australia more self-sufficient, and providing backup power and more affordable energy for South Australians this summer,” he said.

“The world’s largest lithiumion battery will be an important part of our energy mix, and it sends the clearest message that South Australia will be a leader in renewable energy with battery

storage.”

Other elements of SA’s $530 million energy plan include the installation of government-owned emergency generation and support for a solar thermal power plant at Port Augusta.

The plan was launched after last year’s statewide blackout during severe storms and after a significant load-shedding event across Adelaide earlier this year.

Senator in failed bid to relax drone rules

F

amilies using drones to take Christmas photos in their own backyards risk a $900 fine, a crossbench senator says.

South Australian senator Cory Bernardi’s disallowance motion to relax rules around drone use failed recently.

He said under current regulations, people were only allowed within 30 metres of a drone while they were operating it.

“That means at Christmas time or any other time, if a family receives a drone under their Christmas tree and wants to operate it, then they are unable to do so in their own backyard,” Senator Bernardi said.

“It means that those who want to take a photo at a party or a family gathering cannot do so using a drone or risk getting a $900 fine.”

Earlier in the year, a recreational drone pilot was

fined $900 for hazardous flying near guests at the wedding of Nine Network presenters Peter Stefanovic and Sylvia Jeffreys.

LNP senator James McGrath said the government did not support Senator Bernardi’s motion because it would weaken safety protections for the public.

Labor and the Greens say they will wait to see the outcome of a parliamentary inquiry into drone safety before deciding whether they support changes.

Tesla unveils electric big-rig truck

T

esla has unveiled a prototype electric big-rig truck that it will start producing in 2019.

Chief Executive Elon Musk unveiled the big rig, dubbed the Tesla Semi, by riding the truck into an airport hangar near Los Angeles in front of a crowd of Tesla car owners and potential buyers.

Later the semi truck opened its trailer, and a new Roadster drove out. The car is an updated

version of Tesla’s first production vehicle. It can seat four and travel 1,000 km on a single charge, a new record for an electric vehicle, Musk said.

It can go from 0 to 100 km per hour in 1.9 seconds.

Musk has described electric trucks as Tesla’s next effort to move the economy away from fossil fuels through projects including

electric cars, solar roofs and power storage.

Some analysts fear the truck will be an expensive distraction for Tesla, which is burning cash, has never posted an annual profit, and is in self-described

“manufacturing hell” starting up production of the $US35,000 Model 3 sedan.

Musk did not give a price for the truck.

NBN CO WARNS OF DELAY TO SOME CONNECTIONS

H

undreds of thousands of Australians could be forced to wait months longer than expected to be connected to the national broadband network via pay television cables.

NBN Co on Monday announced it was temporarily suspending the rollout of the hybrid coaxialfibre (HFC) network to “improve customer experience”.

It warned of delays of six-to-nine months in new areas.

“While the good news is that we are working on a better experience for the internet providers and end users, the improvement efforts will take additional time,” CEO Bill Morrow said in a statement.

“We remain confident of reaching our goal of completing the build and connecting eight million Australian premises by 2020.”

Nearly one million premises are

ready to connect via HFC, with 370,000 having already done so.

Mr Morrow said too many Australians weren’t having the experience they deserved when getting connected over the HFC network and some weren’t experiencing its full potential.

Internet providers have been told of the changes, and the NBN website will be updated in coming weeks so people can check their address to see if there are any changes to their connection date.

Labor’s communications spokeswoman Michelle Rowland said Malcolm Turnbull used to champion the “dud” technology.

“This was supposed to be the game-changing technology,” she told reporters in Canberra.

“This was supposed to be future-proofing technology that would save four years and $30 billion by switching to the multitechnology mix. It has utterly failed.”

Though this is a small fraction of the size of the physical market for drugs, Europol head Rob Wainright said the number of products on offer was “growing exponentially”, “which must be an indication also of increased demand and supply”.

There were 350,000 products for sale on AlphaBay and Hansa, more than five times as many as were available on an earlier wellknown dark web market, Silk Road, in 2013, he said.

Goosdeel said the dark web is an increasingly attractive market because buyers and sellers are anonymous and there is a perception that drugs bought there are good quality.

The report found that since the first major dark web market, the “Farmer’s Market”, was launched in 2010 and shut down in 2012, dozens of new markets have appeared and replaced it.

Silk Road, has reappeared in versions 2.0 and 3.0 since the original was shut down.

There are now 14 dark web markets in operation with names like “Darknet Heroes League” and “House of Lions market”.

BMW 530E HYBRID AN IMPRESSIVE LIVE-WIRE I

t seems like the whole motoring world is going electric.

Who would have thought.

Leading marques have previously hitched their wagons to everything from hybrid technology to super-efficient petrol and diesel engines or even the futuristic hydrogen cells - but now they are all plunging into the electric pond.

Last month British giant Jaguar-Land Rover announced it would be offering a batterypowered version of every model it produces by 2020. The following day, Honda followed suit by promising an electric version of its entire fleet within two years.

The Germans, who mostly sniffed at Toyota’s commitment to hybrid petrolelectric technology when it was first introduced almost two decades ago, have now all followed suit in one form or another.

Mostly, they’re opting for the so-called “plug-in” hybrids - combining the green cred of an electric motor with the practicality of a petrol engine to back it up.

BMW is having a bob each way.

As well as its fully-electric i3 electric hatchback and i8 electric supercar models, it has added a handful of plug-in hybrids across its conventional range under its so-called “iPerformance” banner.

The latest addition is the plug-in version of the 5-Series executive sedan, called the 530E iPerformance, that blends a conventional petrol engine with enough battery power to drive emissions-free for a typical daily commute.

With its limited electric-only range, it can’t compete with the fully electric rival Tesla - but nor is it meant to.

Instead, the plug-in regimen means up to 50km of emissions-free driving on a fully-charged battery before being plugged in for a

“

recharge overnight.

That might sound like a token gesture, but in reality the 50km range is probably enough for most people to get to and from work - or the kindy, school or supermarket - and home again without having to revert to fossil fuel power.

Once safely back in the garage, you just plug the car into your conventional electric socket and it’s fully charged again by the time you’re ready to face another day.

Also, the growing number of quick-charge points in many inner-city streets and carparks means a 50km each-way commute is a possibility for many.

Our real-world experience put the

limited driving range. On a longer journey, where its fourcylinder petrol engine is put to greater use, the fuel efficency and emissions quotients are less impressive - but still respectable in the range of 6K/100km.

Still, this electric-drive option is an interesting addition to the 5-Series range, a longtime favourite for well-heeled executives. It’s the sixth member of the iPerformance family, joining plug-in variants of the 2-Series, 3-Series, X5, X3 and X1 SUV models.

The first thing you notice about the E-Drive is the sound of ... well ... nothing but silence. For those used to a rorty exhaust note more

of 6.2 seconds.

That kind of acceleration requires both electric and petrol power working in unison. Their combined output is 185kW and 420Nm - of which the two-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers 135kW. However it doesn’t compare to the punchy, sporty performance of the flagship 540i we drove a few months back.

All of that, of course, is mostly a side-dish to the qualities we’ve already come to admire in this latest 5-Series - its handsome road presence, plush and hightech interior and its impeccable ride and handling characteristics.

All pretty easy to like, regardless of how the car is being propelled.

The added weight of the electric batteries probably affects these qualities marginally in the 530E - and the batteries’ location beneath the rear seat slightly reduces boot capacity to a still useful 410 litres.

We’ve previously tested the seventh-generation 5 Series in its consummate form - the flagship 540i with the full list of luxury inclusions - from massaging seats to scented climate control airconditioning and a self-parking and semi-autonomous steering capability.

Our 530E test machine didn’t boast quite as much “fruit” but still makes a convincing argument for those seeking a car that’s plush yet a touch sporty, while bringing stunning fuel-efficiency and impressive practicality.

Its asking price of $108,900 plus onroad costs places it roughly at the mid-point of the 5-Series range - but its frugal thirst further enhances that value equation. In short, a livewire addition to the growing electric trend.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE WHOLE MOTORING WORLD IS GOING ELECTRIC.... range at closer to 30km - but that depends on driving habits.

The attraction of the plug-in model is that, should the battery be depleted, the car reverts to petrol-power - which also provides the primary propulsion source for any longer journeys.

For many buyers, it’s an acceptable stepping-off point while the world makes up its mind about how cars will be powered in the future. And, of course, it helps ease your green guilt in the meantime.

In the case of the 530E, it officially emits just 44 grams of carbon per kilometre - which is about a third of the emissions of a Toyota Camry Hybrid. So there’s no shame in driving your luxury sedan to work and back every day.

BMW claims fuel consumption of 2.3L/100km for the 530E although this obviously can be maintained for a

typical of the BMW experience, it takes a bit of getting used to.

But soon enough you’re gliding silently among the city traffic, oblivious to the fact that you’re travelling fuel-free, with virtually no compromise in the driving experience.

That’s partly because the electric power is delivered via the car’s conventional eightspeed automatic transmission, through the rear wheels. So there’s little variation in driving characteristics from electric to petrol power.

It feels nothing like fully-electric vehicles, like its BMW “i” siblings or, for instance, a Tesla.

The 530E can’t match the urgent acceleration of those pure electric plays - even in full electric mode - although it still delivers an impressive 0-100km/h speed

THURMAN: U

ma Thurman says Harvey Weinstein doesn’t “deserve a bullet” and hints she has been a victim of sexual harassment.

The actress, who earlier this month said she was too angry to share her thoughts on the slew of sexual misconduct allegations that have rocked Hollywood, broke her silence in an emotional Thanksgiving post on Instagram.

She wrote: “H A P P Y T H A N K S G I V I N G. I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others.

“I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons, #metoo, in case you couldn’t tell by the look on my face.

“I feel it’s important to take your time, be fair, be exact, so... Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! (Except you Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators - I’m glad it’s going slowly - you don’t deserve a bullet)

WEINSTEIN DOESN’T DESERVE BULLET

- stay tuned.”

When she was previously asked how she felt about women speaking out about their experiences of harassment, Thurman replied: “I think it’s commendable.

“I have learned, I am not a child and I have learned that ... when I’ve spoken in anger, I usually regret the way I express myself.

“So I’ve been waiting to feel less angry. And when I’m ready, I’ll say what I have to say.”

Dozens of actresses, including Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cara Delevingne have made allegations of harassment and assault against movie mogul Weinstein.

He has denied ever engaging in “non-consensual sexual conduct”.

Thurman has made a string of films that were produced by Weinstein, including Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill.

SOUTH AFRICA WINS MISS UNIVERSE

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, 22, who unleashed a big smile when she won, hails from Western Cape Province and recently earned a business management degree from North-West University.

Her passion for self-defense came in

handy when she was hijacked and held at gunpoint about a month after winning her title as Miss South Africa, she said in a video on the Miss Universe website.

Miss Colombia, aspiring actress Laura Gonzalez, 22, was the first runner-up.

The second runner-up was Miss Jamaica, Davina Bennett, 21. She is a model pursuing a degree in marketing at the University of the West Indies.

ustralian musician Kirin J. Callinan has proved a long-held belief: men in kilts often go commando.

The singer, who recently entered into a spat with US host Jimmy Fallon, made sure all eyes were on him on the ARIA red carpet.

Standing at the photo wall, he gave in to demands to lift his kilt and for a moment, everyone around copped an eyeful.

US host Fallon recently expressed his distaste for Callinan’s song Big Enough which featured Jimmy Barnes’ signature scream.

Callinan wrote a strongly worded letter to Fallon calling for him to have some respect, mostly for Aussie musical stalwart Barnes.

Callinan was nominated for Best Video at the 31st annual awards in Sydney but lost out to Bliss n Eso.

rinking red wine may elicit conflicting responses of feeling both sexy and tired, a new study suggests.

A quarter of red wine drinkers (25 per cent) report feeling sexy after a tipple.

But the beverage also appears to make three in five consumers (60 per cent) feel tired. The findings come from a large new study which discovered that different types of alcohol elicit different emotional responses.

The research, published in the journal BMJ Open, also suggests loutish drunken behaviour may be linked to the type of alcohol you consume.

After examining anonymised responses to the world’s largest online survey of legal and illicit drug and alcohol use among adults, researchers found that drinking spirits such as vodka, gin or rum appears to be more commonly associated with aggression than other drinks, 30 per cent of spirit drinkers reporting feeling aggressive after drinking spirits. This compared to about 2.5 per cent of red or white wine drinkers and 7 per cent of beer drinkers reporting feelings of aggression.

Spirits were also the type of alcohol most likely to bring on tearfulness among drinkers when compared to red wine, white wine and beer drinking,

Ben Milbourne masters

KITCHEN SCIENCE

A

few years ago, Tasmanian chef Ben Milbourne was introduced to Australia’s first cookbook, written more than 150 years ago by Edward Abbott.

The MasterChef Australia alumni was intrigued by how much had changed in the world of food media.

“The main difference is with the science and technology that’s changed over the years,” Milbourne said.

He came up with the idea for his TV series Food Lab which brings together his two backgrounds as a former high school science teacher and now his work as a chef.

“My science background really helped because cooking is basically a science experiment.

Every time you cook you’ve got an apparatus list, which is your ingredients, you’ve got a method, which is your recipe, and then you’ve got end results, was it good or was it bad? So from there it’s just been something that’s been constant throughout what I’ve done. It helps me

“Cooking is basically a science experiment” understand food and it helps me understand science,” he said.

Over 65 episodes, Milbourne teams up with scientists from the University of Queensland to examine the science behind each recipe he executes on camera.

“There’s lots of different cultural social science learnings that can happen in food every time you cook so as I’m cooking a recipe I can notice the science that’s happening. Then we go and see if we can unpack it a little bit,” he

Insect bread to be sold in Finland

O

ne of Finland’s largest food companies is selling what it claims to be a first: insect bread.

Markus Hellstrom, head of the Fazer group’s bakery division, says one loaf contains about 70 dried house crickets, ground into powder and added to the flour.

Hellstrom says the crickets represent three per cent of the bread’s weight.

He said “Finns are known to

be willing to try new things,” and according to a survey commissioned by Fazer “good taste, freshness” were among the main criteria for bread.

Hellstrom said in a statement that Finnish legislation was changed on November 1 to allow the sale of insects as food.

The first batch of cricket breads will be sold in major Finnish cities on Friday.

LOCAL BUSINESS BOOST

D

o you love to eat delicious food in a friendly environment?

Do you also love both quality dining and easy takeaway?

Then pop into Oporto in Baxter for a sensational and satisfying mouth watering experience!

Oporto started out in North Bondi in 1986 by Portuguese founder, Antonio Cerqueira.

Since then it has grown into a multi million dollar franchise with over 140 stores in Australia and New Zealand.

Barton Smith, owner of the Baxter stores situated inside the north and southbound Mornington Peninsula

Freeway BP Service Centre’s, was drawn to Oporto’s Franchise because they mirrored his ideals of personalized customer service with integrity.

Barton likes to make his diners feel appreciated and will talk them through the menu if it’s their first visit. The choice is huge.

Flame grilled Portuguese style chicken burgers, vegetarian burgers, wraps, chips, pita and garlic breads, Portuguese salads, Bondi Bites, (chicken pieces in lemon and herb coating) and so much more to choose from.

Barton doesn’t like the impersonal number system so customers are personally served if dining in. He finds it extremely gratifying when he hears, ‘that was awesome, a really delicious meal’.

Oporto uses quality ingredients and each meal is freshly cooked to order.

The portions are big and are served with original fresh garlic, ginger, chili, and lemon sauce, giving the food an uplifting zingy flavour. “Our sauce is not sweet and is perfect with our mayo,” says Barton.

Recently Oporto introduced genuine Portuguese tarts, which are famous throughout Portugal. These exquisite morsels are baked daily on the premises.

Baxter’s Oporto is offering a Portuguese tart and coffee deal for only $5.00.

I suggest you take advantage of this a.s.a.p.

Oporto Baxter is a Totally Integrated Unit (TIU) with a

petrol station and offers fast casual dining in a modern airconditioned, spacious, clean, and relaxing environment.

The facility has hygienic and roomy toilet and shower facilities and a safe play area for children.

For people on the go, the easy access drive through is a breeze to navigate and very ‘people’ friendly.

Oporto Baxter is open every day except Christmas and Good Friday from 9 to 9.

Rob Bellio runs Kingpin Kuztums and organizes rockabilly/rock ‘n’ roll shows and events. The focus of this year’s family friendly Rockabilly show was on cars, tattoos, Pin-up models, merchandise, and awesome bands.

Limited Edition ‘57 Belair, hot rods, 1936 Gold Ford Coupe, ‘53 Ford Mercury, GMC Sierra Classic and a 1929 A Model Ford Tourer were just some of the magnificent cars on display in the car park outside.

The Chelsea Heights Night Club was turned into a function room filled with stalls selling merchandise ranging from 50’s inspired diner milkshake and soda candles, makeup, clothes, jewelry, patches for jackets, and rock n’ roll memorabilia.

An elaborate tattoo stand was set up for punters to get tattoos and then participate in the ‘Best Tattoo’ contest.

Iconic Melbourne bands, Mighty Kings, Itchy Fingers, and That Redhead along with The Satellites, a renowned Adelaide rockabilly band especially flown in for the day, pumped out cool tunes from the 50’ and 60s along with originals.

The popular Pin-up girls flounced around getting pictures taken with fans in and around the cars.

People dressed the part and the dance floor was littered with jive and rock n’ roll dancers all day long.

34 ADOPT A PET

Meet April

You wouldn’t know it by looking at my big beautiful smile, but things can be a bit overwhelming for me at times. So I can’t wait to find my forever home where I’ll be introduced to lots of things and be allowed to live inside with you.

I haven’t had a lot of experience being around other animals or a lot of people, so I’d like an adult only home with no other pets, so that I can calmly and safely learn about the world.

I need someone patient and generous who will give me a chance.

Activists swim under SHOCKING JAPANESE WHALING FOOTAGE RELEASED NSW shark nets

A

marine conservationist has swum under a shark net on the NSW north coast in a bid to show they don’t really work.

Dean Jefferys filmed himself and others swimming under the mesh nets at an anti-net rally at Lennox Head on Saturday in an attempt to demonstrate they offered “no protection whatsoever”.

“There you go, straight under ... a shark can do that easy,” Mr Jefferys said in the video.

“It’s about time we started using non-lethal alternatives rather than these killing nets.”

The rally follows the NSW government’s announcement to deploy shark nets for a second time at Ballina, Lennox Head and Evans Head beaches with larger mesh to reduce unwanted catches including turtles, dolphins and manta rays.

But a Department of Primary Industries spokeswoman says

the nets aren’t meant to create an enclosed area or provide a barrier between beachgoers and sharks.

Instead, they are designed to reduce the likelihood of shark interactions by catching white, tiger and bull sharks aggregating near the netted beach.

“Sharks will swim at a range of depths from the surface to close to the seafloor,” the DPI spokeswoman told AAP on Tuesday.

“In the second net trial, the department will trial setting the nets at different heights in the water column.”

Contractors check the nets daily, weather permitting, and free all animals found alive “where it is practical and safe to do so”.

The spokeswoman warned it was an offence to interfere with or vandalise the nets and doing so carried a maximum penalty of $22,000.

B

loody footage of whales being harpooned in the Southern Ocean by Japanese whaling boats has been released after several federal governments blocked attempts to make it public.

The video, shot by Australian Customs workers in 2008, was released on Tuesday by activist group Sea Shepherd following a

five-year freedom of information (FOI) battle.

“The Australian Government has suppressed this footage for years. (It) shows the bloody brutality, cruelty and senseless killing of such beautiful, intelligent and majestic animals,” Sea Shepherd managing director Jeff Hansen said.

Johnny Cash home possible historic place

NSW GETS LION’S SHARE OF AIRBNB T HOARD S

even of the top 10 Airbnb hosts in Australia are in NSW with the highest earner in Sydney raking in $5.3 million a year across 247 properties.

New figures show the top earner in Australia was an unnamed host or property management company in Sydney booking $5.3 million in the 12 months to October 2017.

The Sydney “host” was making an average of $21,000 per property, well above the average earning of a Sydney host at $11,150 per listing each year.

Earners in Sydney make well above the median country income of about $4920.

NSW has more than 40,000 Airbnb listings - with 25,000 in Sydney alone - but is yet to pass specific laws governing holiday lettings. Instead, they’re left to local councils to regulate.

Among the top seven earners were two - one in Wingecarribee and another in Wyong - each pulling in $4 million across portfolios of 97 and 168 properties.

A host near Byron Bay took in $3.7 million across 40 properties.

The figures came from AirDNA - an analytics company that crunches the numbers based on data from Airbnb’s website.

Sydney Airbnb host Noa Peer has happily let out two modest properties for years on Airbnb for between $116 and $160 a night.

She is shocked a fellow operator in Sydney is earning $5.3 million annually.

“I’m not sure how that’s evening happening to be honest - how do they own that many properties.”

She was initially drawn to the personalised approach of the accommodation website and is surprised it’s increasingly being used by property management companies.

“I think it’s a reflection of the wealth distribution in Australia - but that’s a bigger problem than just Airbnb” Ms Peer said.

AirDNA chief executive Scott Shatford says Airbnb is increasingly becoming the domain of property management companies, despite starting out as a platform for individuals to share a spare room, apartment or house.

But Airbnb Australia manager Sam McDonagh insists two-thirds of listings are still people sharing the home they live in.

He says property managers are generally managing people’s homes and taking some of the work out of being a host by, for example, providing linen and cleaning services.

Mr McDonagh told AAP that ultimately “market dynamics” would determine the success or failure of big operators.

“We’re ambivalent in terms of whether someone has one property or five properties - if they’re a great host and they’re serving the community then we’re supportive of that.”

he boyhood home of country music icon Johnny Cash is being considered as a nominee for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program’s review board will meet on Wednesday to consider 14 properties for nomination to the list of the nation’s historic places.

The Cash home was built in 1934 in Dyess in northeastern Arkansas, about 48 kilometres

northwest of Memphis, Tennessee. The house and 16 hectares were provided to the Cash family as part of a government economic recovery program during the Great Depression.

Preservation Program spokesman Mark Christ told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that a final decision on whether the property is included on the list will be made by the National Park Service.

The childhood home, dating to the mid 1930s, of singer Johnny Cash, in Dyess, Ark. The country music icon Cash’s boyhood home is being considered as a nominee for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

SHARAPOVA IN ALLEGED HOUSING FRAUD PROBE T ennis star Maria Sharapova is being investigated by Indian police in a cheating and criminal conspiracy case over an ill-fated luxury housing project.

The probe involves a company which had used Sharapova to endorse the project that had never taken off.

Homestead Infrastructure is accused of taking millions of dollars from home buyers for a project named “Ballet by Maria

Sharapova”, a luxury apartment complex with its own helipad, tennis academy and other amenities.

The five-time grand-slam champion travelled to India in 2013 to launch the project at a glitzy ceremony. Police began the investigation a week ago.

Piyush Singh, a lawyer representing one of the home buyers, said Sharapova’s celebrity was the reason most people put their money into the project.

HAVAL TAKES COVERS OFF COMPANY’S FIRST PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

H

AVAL owner Jack Wey has unveiled a production version of the company’s first plug-in hybrid SUV at the Guangzhou Motor Show.

The all new P8 SUV – launched under the company’s eponymous WEY luxury brand – will go on sale in China in the first quarter of 2018.

The P8 will be used to spearhead the company’s charge toward sustainable fuel technology.

Unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the P8 boasts a PHEV powertrain coupling the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with electric motors on each axle. The combined power output of 250kW / 520 Nm will drive all four wheels via a sixspeed dual clutch transmission.

It can accelerate the P8 from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds, while also returning fuel consumption figures of 2.3 L/100km. The home charger, which runs off 220V, can fully charge the vehicle in just four hours. Maximum range on combined fuel will be 660 kilometres.

The P8 will come packed with safety features, including autonomous emergency braking, MAZDA MAZDA3 4D SEDAN 2004

“...FUEL CONSUMPTION FIGURES OF 2.3 L/100KM” forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane change assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, 360-degree camera and a streaming rear-view mirror.

Chairman Wey said the imminent launch of the P8 represented a milestone in his journey to put luxury vehicles within reach of all consumers.

Factory solar panels and more than adequate water storage means the van has the potential to go straight to ‘Free Camping Sites’ if required. The electric sliding side really opens up the living area for the family to enjoy quality time at the dinner table or watching TV/Movies.

Additional extras include: Factory window shading nets and a Full sized annexe that really provides another total van space that proving excellent for outdoor entertaining and cooking (outdoor BBQ gas point factory fitted with awning led lighting and speaker system) great for storage also.

Woods ties for 9th as Fowler wins with 61

Tiger Woods tees off from the 14th hole during the final round of the Hero World Challenge golf tournament at Albany Golf Club in Nassau, Bahamas

LONGMIRE WANTS YOUNG AFL BACKS TO STEP UP

S

ydney coach John Lonmgire wants his emerging AFL key defenders Lewis Melican and Aliir Aliir to take the load of their more experienced colleagues next season.

Melican, 21, displayed composure and assurance in his first season and became a permanent fixture in the Swans side after debuting in round five.

He played 17 games before a quadriceps injury ended his run in the side just prior to the finals.

23-year-old Aliir made his first 13 appearances in 2016, thrilling fans with his dash and athleticism before a knee injury ruled him out of the grand final.

A toe problem and form issues in 2017 restricted him to just three senior games early in the season.

With his stalwart key defender Heath Grundy turning 32 midway through next season, Longmire knows his younger backs need to take more responsibility.

“Melican, Aliir, these guys really need to take over that defence and help our experienced players and help lighten the load for them,” Longmire said on Monday.

Longmire was confident Aliir

could recapture the form he showed in his first season.

He said Aliir’s workload had been dropped back this week after he had trained for the last two.

“The aim is to progress him more again next week, so far he’s been in pretty good nic, but he’s not doing the whole program just yet,” Longmire said.

“We’re just making sure we build him up before Christmas, making sure we don’t overwork that toe that he had this time last year and make sure it’s nice and strong before he gets into the full program.

“We’re confident that he will be able to get himself.right. He showed the year before that he’s an important player to our team.”

The Swans’ fifth year and longer players started training on Monday.

Grundy, star forward Lance Franklin and captain and midfield ace Josh Kennedy were among a core of veterans who weren’t as active as many of their younger teammates.

Longmire said the expected the majority of his most experienced players would be back in full training by mid to late January.

iger Woods proved he could be competitive again after playing some good golf with a final-round four-under 68 to tie for ninth at the World Challenge in the Bahamas on Sunday.

World No.9 Rickie Fowler birdied his first seven holes and won the elite event by four strokes, thanks to a course record 11-under par 61 that left him at 18-under 270.

Woods was 10 strokes back but played pain free in hitting six birdies and an eagle at the Albany course before two closing bogeys.

He also had a double bogey in the 18-man event that featured eight of the world’s top 10.

“I showed some good signs,” Woods told NBC after finishing the event at eight-under 280.

“I hit some really good shots out there (and am ready for) a bright future.... and no pain.”

That was especially important to the 41-yearold, who once dominated the sport.

“I’ve had some tough times through the years with my back and then finally to come out on the good side and (be) able to get back out there and play.

It’s pretty cool,” he said.

He also spoke positively about the future.

“When I was struggling with my back, the world seemed very small. Day to day stuff was very difficult for me to do,” Woods said.

“Now I am able to sit back and enjoy it a little bit more ... it’s been really nice.”

He and his team will now sit down to determine how best to build his 2018 schedule for major championships.

“Play enough, but not play too much,” Woods said.

“I don’t know what golf courses I will be playing, what’s the best way to go about it. ...We’ll figure it out.”

Fowler was looking at a seven-stroke deficit when he began his round on Sunday but seven straight birdies and another at the ninth put him in front at the turn, which he made in eightunder 28.

He added three more birdies on the back nine for a sizzling, bogey-free round.

“I knew I needed to get off to a quick start today to at least show (overnight leader) Charley (Hoffman) I was there,” Fowler said.

“We took care of that and kept it rolling.”

Hoffman, who started the day with a five-stroke lead, shot 72 and faded to second at 274.

England’s Tommy Fleetwood (67) and Jordan Spieth (69) tied for third at 12-under 276.

SHANNON HURN KEEN TO KEEP EAGLES CAPTAINCY S

hannon Hurn says he wants to remain skipper at West Coast to help usher the club into a new era.

Hurn has captained the Eagles for the past three years, but Luke Shuey shapes as his likely successor - and the switch could happen as early as

this summer.

West Coast possessed the oldest team in the AFL last season, but that will be vastly different in 2018 following a list overhaul that included the retirements of Matt Priddis, Sam Mitchell, Sam Butler, and Drew Petrie.

‘Amazing’ Chapecoense qualify for Copa Lib

A

year on from losing most of their squad in a plane crash, Chapecoense have earned a place in the qualifying rounds of next year’s Copa Libertadores.

They won their final match of the Brazilian Serie A season 2-1 over Cortibia on Sunday.

A goal from Tulio de Melo in

the fifth minute of stoppage time gave the rebuilt Chapecoense victory to lift them into eighth place in the table and send their opponents down.

The win means Chapecoense will join seventh-placed Vasco da Gama in the qualifying rounds of next year’s Libertadores, South America’s equivalent of the

Champions League.

Chapecoense lost all but three members of their squad in November last year when the plane taking them to play in the Copa Sudamericana final crashed into a hillside in Colombia, killing 71 of the 77 people on board.

Twelve months on, players celebrated in tears at the

Chapecoense players celebrate their goal during Coritiba match at the Cond Arena for the Brazilian championship 2017

Arena Conda stadium, where on Wednesday a vigil and a memorial ceremony were held for the victims of the crash.

Defender Alan Ruschel, one of the survivors of the tragedy, did not play in the match but called Chapecoense’s qualification “amazing.”

Corinthians had already won the title before Sunday, with games to spare, and were trailed by Palmeiras, Santos, Gremio, Cruzeiro and Flamengo, all of whom qualified for the Libertadores.

Flamengo are already in the final of the Copa Sudamericana, the continent’s second-tier club competition, and if they win that they will qualify automatically for next year’s Copa Libertadores and create one extra space for a Brazilian team, ninth-placed Atletico Mineiro.

Four teams are relegated to Serie B, with Avai, whose failure to get more than a 1-1 draw at Santos was fatal, joining Coritiba, Ponte Preta and Atletico Goianiense.

They will be replaced in the top tier by America-MG, Internacional, Ceara and Parana.

HOLLOWAY KEEPS UFC FEATHERWEIGHT BELT M ax Holloway has defended his UFC featherweight title, beating Jose Aldo in a rematch and winning his 12th straight fight with a TKO late in the third

round.

Holloway (19-3) beat Aldo in his native Brazil in June, rallying from a slow start to win with a TKO in the third.

The Hawaiian was in control

throughout Saturday night’s bout in Detroit but Aldo (26-4) landed his fair share of punches and kicks.

Holloway’s last loss was to Conor McGregor in 2013 and no one is sure when McGregor is going to compete again in the UFC. Frankie Edgar was supposed to fight Holloway but broke an orbital bone a few weeks ago while training and Aldo was asked to fight two weeks earlier than he was scheduled.

Heavyweight Francis Ngannou knocked out Alistair Overeem (43-16) with a left hook and as the division’s top contender lay on his back motionless, a right fist made sure he was finished for the night.

Ngannou (11-1) likely set himself up to get a shot against champion Stipe Miocic.

“I’m ready for that,” he said.

“Ready as ever.”

Eddie Alvarez dropped Justin Gaethje in the middle of the octagon by thrusting his right

knee into his opponent’s chin in the third round for a TKO, ending a lightweight matchup that lived up to the billing of being very violent.

The former champion took his share of blows, leaving him with a jaw so swollen it looked like he had a tennis ball and wobbly legs.

Alvarez (29-5) gave Gaethje (181) his first loss, staying upright against the former Northern Colorado All-American wrestler and hitting him with a flurry of punches that drew blood about his right eye to affect his vision.

US Olympic champion Henry Cejudo, who won wrestling gold in 2008, beat Sergio Pettis with a unanimous decision in a flyweight bout.

Tecia Torres (10-1) started the main card by beating Michelle Waterson (14-6) with a unanimous decision, putting herself closer to a potential opportunity to fight women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas.

SOCCEROOS AVOID

ANOTHER GROUP OF DEATH << cont. from front page...

Australia has avoided another group of death in Russia but will be doing well to reach the knockout rounds after being drawn against three teams ranked in the world’s top 12 nations.

France are the most formidable opponents.

Les Bleus are ranked as one of the favourites in 2018 - behind only Germany and Brazil - and were responsible for knocking out heavyweights the Netherlands in qualifying.

But the Socceroos will rate their chances of progressing past both Peru (world No.11) and Denmark (12) given their struggles to reach Russia.

Denmark finished second in their European group behind Poland, losing to minnows Montenegro at home.

They eventually qualified with a play-off win over Ireland.

Peru finished fifth out of 10 teams in South American qualifying, defeating New Zealand in a play-off to book their place at a first World Cup since 1982.

Australia, without a coach after Ange Postecoglou’s resignation

last week, needed two play-offs of their own to progress to a fourthstraight tournament.

But they will be buoyed by the draw, which is more manageable than their task four years ago: heavyweights Chile, 2010 finalists the Netherlands and Spain, the team who beat the Dutch to lift the trophy in South Africa.

Several Socceroos took to Twitter to respond, using flexed muscle emojis to show their readiness to fight.

The top two nations in the fourteam group qualify for the round of 16.

The draw will also please the Socceroos’ backroom crew, given the opening game match against France is in Australia’s training base of Kazan.

The Socceroos can also draw upon memories of a win against France.

Under coach Frank Farina, Clayton Zane scored the only goal of the game against the thenworld champions at the 2001 Confederations Cup. The last meeting went less well, particularly for then Socceroos coach Holger Osieck.

Osieck was sacked in the aftermath of a 6-0 drubbing in

COTCHIN VOWS TO MAINTAIN TIGERS’ HUNT << cont. from back page...

The Bulldogs found life tough after their 2016 success but Cotchin said the Tigers wouldn’t try and avoid those pitfalls.

“Without being inside four walls, you don’t know how they approached it,” he said.

“I don’t know if it’s a premiership hangover. For whatever reason some clubs don’t perform to the level that’s expected the year following.

“Everyone’s different. That’s the beauty of our group. We’re unique and we’ll find our own way forward.

“There will be challenges, there goes a lot of luck into winning premierships but there’s also a lot of hard work and we look forward to sinking our teeth into that.”

Cotchin guaranteed there would be “no issues where guys are coming back unfit” ahead of day one at Punt Road, though he was unsure just where he lay after an off-season of celebration.

“I’ll see when I’m out there with the boys ... I’ve worked on the tan so that always helps when you run out there and the fitness coach is looking at you.”

Paris in 2013, to be replaced by Ange Postecoglou.

In great news for armchair viewers, the Socceroos will kick off their tournament at 8pm on Saturday June 16.

The second match against Denmark takes place on June 22 at 1am (AEST) before the

group stage finale against Peru at midnight on June 27.

Should Australia replicate their best result at a World Cup - in 2006 - and reach the knockout stage, they will play either Argentina, Iceland, Croatia or Nigeria.

Cotchin vows to maintain Tigers’ hunt T

rent Cotchin has led Richmond training for the first time as a premiership captain, vowing to maintain the spirit that led the Tigers to the 2017 flag.

Richmond’s resumption on Monday -- along with beaten grand finalists Adelaide and finalists Sydney -- means all AFL clubs have started their journeys to the 2018 premiership.

This year, the Tigers will be the chased -- not the chasers -- but Cotchin said their attitude wouldn’t be changing.

“We’re going out there to hunt as we did in 2017,” he said.

“We created a really energetic and exciting environment from day one of pre-season and we’re looking to do the same.

“The outside will want us to crumble under that pressure, but the reality is we had a really consistent year in 2017.

“We put some things in place and we continued to grow.

“The foundations that we created last year, if we can continue to build on those and repeat the sort of effort and intensity, that will hold us in good stead.”

As was always going to be the

case in the savage world of AFL football, Cotchin found himself addressing the notion of a premiership hangover just weeks after the club’s first flag in 37 years.
