Childcare fees stop parents working more

arents are telling childcare providers they want to work more but can’t afford the extra days of care because they’re hitting the ceiling on government subsidies. More than half the parents surveyed by the nation’s largest childcare organisation, Goodstart Early Learning, say they would work or study more if the cap on a rebate covering half the cost of fees was lifted. Under the government’s plans for overhauling childcare subsidies, the $7500 annual cap would be scrapped for families earning less than $185,000 and lifted to $10,000 for richer parents. “We think that’s great and we think we’ve been waiting long enough for it and bring it on,” Goodstart chief executive Julia Davison told reporters at a press conference with the prime minister in Canberra on Monday. The change is expected to mean 90,000 families who would normally hit the cap will no longer run out of childcare fee subsidies. The $7500 figure has been frozen since 2008, when it would have covered half the

cost of a typical family’s fees for 50 weeks of full time child care. It now covers just 30 weeks of care - meaning fees effectively double for families for four or five months each year. As well as scrapping the cap for most families, the government plans to roll all childcare subsidies into a single payment that would be means-and-activity-tested. It’s combined the childcare package with a range of cuts to welfare payments in an omnibus bill it wants the Senate to approve. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Ms Davison he hoped her arguments about the benefits would be very persuasive with senators. “Here you have one of the largest childcare organisations in the country throwing its support behind it because they know that this will meet the needs of their parents,” he told reporters. “It ensures that those families who work the most hours get the most hours of care; it ensures that the largest amount of subsidy goes to families on the lowest incomes.”

Climate Council scientist Will Steffen said Australia had to act to meet its emission reduction targets. “Climate change is making extreme weather worse - the only way we can stop it is to get greenhouse gases down,” he said. Although the report stated short observational records made it difficult to discern trends for cyclones, bushfires and thunderstorms, Prof Steffen said he was confident in the predictions. “I don’t think it affects our confidence at all because we understand the underlying physics,” he said.

Consumers wanting more from energy firms

igher prices might be enticing consumers to switch energy companies, but many believe they aren’t necessarily getting a better deal after making the move. A new survey of 2300 energy consumers has found that when it comes to value for money for electricity, households are less satisfied than they are with their banking, water, mobile phone, insurance and internet services. Half of all households in Victoria, NSW and South Australia said they had considered switching providers in the past three years, but most didn’t end up making the move, the survey by Energy Consumers Australia found. But of those that did switch, about half reported no change in their satisfaction levels. Energy Consumers

Australia chief executive Rosemary Sinclair said while policy makers had long encouraged consumers to switch electricity companies to ensure they were getting the best deal, there were several barriers to ensuring that’s what they ended up with. Some were worried they

to do something about it’,” Ms Sinclair said. The survey was the second of its kind and conducted between August and September 2016, just after retail energy prices rose in most states. The Energy Consumers Association plans to repeat the survey every six months to help track changes in sentiment and identify trends to help inform energy market and policy development. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has pledged to make electricity prices and energy security defining issues in 2017. Ms Sinclair said the Energy Consumers Association planned to include its survey findings in its submission to Chief Scientist Alan Finkel’s ongoing examination of energy market security. His report is due to be released later this year.

Polygamous families protest

US BIGAMY LAW T

he family on the TV reality show Sister Wives and several hundred other protesters in polygamous relationships have rallied in Utah, saying they will not stop fighting for the right to plural marriage. Holding signs saying “I love all my moms” and “If we were gay, we’d be OK”, the group gathered in the rain on the steps of the Utah Capitol on Friday afternoon. “I am not a criminal,” proclaimed Joe Darger, a Utah man who has three wives and helped organise the rally. “If you commit adultery, that’s not a felony. It’s only a crime when you have a family and you pretend to be married.” The demonstration comes a month after the US Supreme Court declined to hear a case

from Kody Brown and his four wives on the TLC show Sister Wives challenging Utah’s bigamy law. The court left Utah’s law in place, but state legislators are considering changes that would leave those convicted under it facing harsher penalties if they are also convicted of other crimes such as domestic abuse. Outside the Capitol, polygamy supporters said the law criminalising a relationship between consenting adults kept anyone witnessing crimes such as fraud or abuse from speaking out. Prosecutors say they generally leave polygamists alone but need to keep the ban to pursue polygamists for other crimes. Only 10 people have been

The Supreme Court said Monday, Jan 24, 2017, it won’t hear an appeal from the family on TV’s “Sister Wives” challenging Utah’s law banning polygamy. The decision ends the family’s long legal fight to overturn a seldom used and unique provision of Utah’s law that the Browns and other polygamous families contend has a chilling effect by sending law-abiding plural families into hiding because of fear of prosecution.

charged with violating the law between 2001 and 2011. Court documents show there are about 30,000 polygamists in Utah.

Anything goes on Grammys red carpet

he pop world’s reigning divas duelled on the Grammys red carpet, raising eyebrows with cleavage-baring looks, while others drew attention with politically charged fashion statements. Fresh off her Super Bowl performance and due to sing with Metallica on the music industry’s big night, Lady Gaga showed up just minutes before the awards show in a barely-there black vinyl bolero jacket, short shorts embossed with chains and thigh-high boots. “There wasn’t much of it,” deadpanned television host Ryan Seacrest of the outfit during the E! red carpet broadcast. Earlier, singer Joy Villa drew gasps when she removed a generous white cape with a flourish to reveal a form-fitting “Make America Great Again” dress underneath, with “Trump” written up the back. Chance the Rapper, nominated for nine Grammys, sported a black hoodie with “Obama” written on the back and “Thank you” on the front. A no-show on the red carpet

covered flesh or headscratching spectacle - such as Gaga’s arrival at the 2011 Grammys in a translucent egg. Paris Jackson, the 19-yearold daughter of pop icon Michael Jackson, wore a multicoloured beaded Balmain gown, and stayed coy about her future music plans: “I guess we’ll find out,” she teased. Carrie Underwood, nominated for the country song “Church Bells,” wore a Nashville-worthy red sparkling number with a was Beyonce, pregnant with twins and expected to perform at the show where she leads with nine Grammys nominations. Vying with Beyonce for all three top awards - album, song and record of the year - was Adele, who wrapped herself in a long-sleeved, lichen green, sparkling Givenchy gown that crossed the bodice, in one of the more modest looks on the red carpet. A platinum blonde Katy Perry poured herself into a Tom Ford ensemble that was molten champagne gold on top with purple feathers below. The outspoken pop star broached politics, but kept it non-committal. “There’s so much divisiveness and people on one side or the other and we just need to listen to each other,” Perry said. The Grammys is where pop stars push the envelope on fashion beyond the more classic dress-up looks worn by their film colleagues two weeks later at the Academy Awards, whether barely

cut-out cleavage. Red, with a cutout at the bodice, was also the color choice for country singer Faith Hill. Similarly, and true to J-Lo form, Jennifer Lopez wore a cleavage-revealing lavender gown - what she called an “orchid confection” - with a dramatic bow at the neck. Adele walked in matronly, military green. Villa wasn’t alone in taking on the administration of President Donald Trump. A member of the band Highly Suspect wore a jacket with “IMPEACH” on the back.

Josh Dun, left, and Tyler Joseph of “Twenty One Pilots” appear onstage without pants to accept the award for best pop duo/ group performance for “Stressed Out” at the 59th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017, in Los Angeles.

arterial stiffening, which contributes to development of hypertension. Professor Reece says the study could explain the disturbing physical transformation addicts experience after years of crystal meth use. A few years ago a US antidrug campaign, produced by Rehabs.com, released before-and-after photos of meth addicts which showed the “most horrific” loss of weight and obvious ageing of the skin. “Suddenly the whole picture makes sense,” Ass Prof Reece told AAP. The researchers at UWA examined 55 amphetamine users, 107 tobacco users, 68 methadone users and 483 non-smokers over a five year period between 2006 to 2011.

People with known cardiovascular disease were not included. Using tonometry technology, like that used on the eye to test for glaucoma, the researchers monitored the participants radial pulse to measure arterial stiffness, which gave them a biological age. The results of the study found people who habitually used amphetamines aged much faster than the nonaddicts. On average, their age increased by about 25 per cent.

Time for national obesity plan: expert T

he current lack of co-ordinated national action on the obesity epidemic in Australia is “unacceptable”, says prominent researcher Laureate Professor Nick Talley. Prof Talley is the chair of the Council of Presidents of Medical Colleges - a coalition of Australia’s most influential doctors’ groups and has written an editorial calling for urgent action to halt the “alarming” rates of obesity. More than one-in-four children are now overweight or obese, as are over twothirds of all adults. Of the children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, one-third is

either overweight or obese. “It is alarming how much unhealthy body weight has expanded since the 1970s, when obesity was uncommon,” Prof Talley wrote in the Medical Journal of Australia. “Aside from aesthetics, the problem is not excess weight per se, but the serious health consequences that stem from being overweight or obese,” he wrote. The serious health consequences include an increased risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes - all of which shorten life expectancy. Prof Talley says all areas of the health sector, governments and community must work together.

“The current lack of coordinated national approach is not acceptable,” Prof Talley said. As a starting point, Prof Talley wants to see the formation of a national task force established by the commonwealth government to oversee a national plan to combat obesity. The task force is part of a six-point plan of action established by the National Health Summit on Obesity, held last year. “It is time now that Australian health care professional, organisations, training future health care professional, and government at all levels begin looking at what we can do together, the

six-point plan is a start” said Prof Talley. The six point plan includes: • Reclassifying obesity as a chronic disease to remove stigma • Introducing a tax on sugarsweetened beverages • Incentives for food reformulation • Reduce unhealthy food marketing to children • Education and upskilling: targeted training for all medical and health professionals to ensure a focus on nutrition, physical activity and obesity prevention and management • Pre-conception planning: expand prenatal and early childhood obesity prevention strategies

MP PLANS TO CURB FAKE ABORIGINAL ART SALES

federal independent MP wants to make it illegal to sell fake Aboriginal art, souvenirs and cultural items. Bob Katter recently introduced to parliament a private bill he hopes will stop non-indigenous people - including foreigners - from exploiting and profiting from

the “oldest culture on earth”. “Ninety per cent of the stuff being sold is rubbish, which our first Australians get nothing out of,” he told the lower house. “If there be one thing that first Australians be allowed to keep and own it is their own culture.” Mr Katter claimed up to 80

per cent of tourist shops and markets sold ‘Aboriginal style’ souvenirs, many of which were imported from overseas. He demonstrated to MPs the difference in quality and sound between a pair of authentic Aboriginal clapping sticks and one made in Asia. “I’m sick of buying for my kids clap sticks that don’t clap, bullroarers that don’t roar, boomerangs that don’t come back and woomeras that won’t mount a spear.” The Arts Law Centre of Australia, Indigenous Art Code and copyright agency

Viscopy have all thrown their support for the proposed legislation. It had been an issue of concern for the community for some time, they said in a joint statement. “This is an opportunity to ensure that Indigenous communities and artists regain control of goods that bear their art, their culture, what belongs to them; that consumers are not misled; and that ethical businesses are recognised,” Indigenous Art Code CEO Gabrielle Sullivan said.

Treasurer Scott Morrison say the blitz brings the total number of forced sales of properties in breach of

foreign investment rules to 61, with a combined value of $107 million. Mr Morrison said enforcing foreign investment rules was part of the government’s initiative of ensuring housing is more affordable. He had a blunt message for those who bid against Australians to buy properties when they weren’t legally able to. “We will find you and I will force you to sell it,” the treasurer told Sydney’s 2GB radio.

VAPING A GATEWAY TO TEEN SMOKING: STUDY

Vaping is a “one-way bridge” to cigarette smoking among teenagers a new study suggests, days after a separate study suggested vaping is safer than cigarettes. The study, published in the journal Tobacco Control, examined data from American pupils in their final year of high school in 2014 and again a year later. The authors found that among teens who had never smoked a cigarette by the final year of high school (17-18-year-olds), those who

had vaped in the previous 30 days were more than four times more likely to report past-year cigarette smoking when questioned at follow-up. They said this finding was “consistent with a desensitisation process”.

QUINOA’S Most GENETIC kids see SECRETS ADULT REVEALED CONTENT Q A

online

British report has found 70 per cent of children and young people have seen inappropriate images and videos online with almost half of teenage children seeing nude or nearly nude photos of their peers being shared. It also found that many youngsters are sharing pictures they would not want their parents to see, with some sharing content with people they only know online. The report, published to mark Safer Internet Day, examined the central role sharing images and videos online now played in children’s lives, a director of the UK Safer Internet Centre and chief executive of Childnet Will Gardner said. “This can magnify the risks and pressures that young people face, while also offering fun new opportunities for selfexpression and creativity,” Gardner said. The report also found among 13 to 17-year-olds alone, almost half said they had seen nude, or nearly nude, pictures of someone they knew being shared

around their school or community. Young people also said they took 12 “selfies” on average before posting one on a website, the report found - while 43 per cent said that they worry about how attractive they look when they share photos. This fear was more common among girls than boys. UK CHILDREN ONLINE HABITS

• 70 per cent of eight to 17-year-olds viewed images inappropriate for their age in the last year • Over one in five said that someone had posted an image or video in an attempt to bully them

• 65 per cent shared a video or image with someone they only know online

• Around two thirds have posted an image or video for a positive reason in the last year

• The online poll of 1,500 eight to 17-year-olds was commissioned by the UK Safer Internet Centre and carried out by ResearchBods.

uinoa, the sacred “mother grain” of the ancient Inca civilisation suppressed by Spanish conquistadors, could become an increasingly important food source in the future thanks to genetic secrets revealed in a new study. Scientists says they have mapped the genome of quinoa and identified a gene that could be manipulated to get rid of the grain’s natural bitter taste and pave the way for more widespread commercial use.

Quinoa already grows well in harsh conditions such as salty and low-quality soil, high elevations and cool temperatures, meaning it can flourish in locales where common cereal crops like wheat and rice may struggle. But the presence of toxic and bitter chemicals called saponins in its seeds has been one of the impediments to extensive cultivation. Plant scientist Mark Tester of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia said the research pinpointed a gene that guides production of saponins in quinoa. This knowledge could enable breeding of quinoa without saponins, to make the seeds sweeter. Currently, quinoa grain must be processed through washing and drying after harvest to remove saponins. “Quinoa is currently greatly under-utilised,” said Tester, who led the

 

research published in the journal Nature. “It is highly nutritious, with a high protein content that, importantly, has a very good balance of amino acids, which is unusual for our major grains. It is gluten free and high in vitamins and minerals, too.”

Increased quinoa production could improve food security on a planet with unrelenting human population growth, Tester said. There are potential disadvantages to reducing saponins, perhaps increasing susceptibility to fungal infections or bird predation, Tester added.

Quinoa, which boasts a nutty flavour, can be used the same ways as rice and wheat. It can be cooked and served on its own, turned into pasta, put in soups, eaten as a cereal or fermented to make beer or chicha, a beverage of the Andes. The crop was sacred to the ancient Incas, who called it “chisoya mama,” or the “mother grain.”

During their South American conquest 500 years ago, Spaniards suppressed quinoa cultivation because of its use in indigenous religious ceremonies. They forbade quinoa cultivation for a time, with the Incas forced to grow wheat instead.

Quinoa is still a minor crop globally, grown mostly in Peru and Bolivia. It has become fashionable in the West in recent years, primarily as a health food.

NICHOLSON SET FOR FIRST FILM SINCE 2010

fter a seven year hiatus from film, Jack Nicholson is expected to return to the big screen in an English language remake of the Oscar-nominated German comedy Toni Erdmann. Nicholson and Kristen Wiig are attached to star, according to a person close to the production who requested anonymity because of a lack of authorisation to speak publicly about the project. The trade publication Variety first reported the news Tuesday. Nicholson last appeared in a film in 2010 in James L Brooks’s How Do You Know and has been considered by many to be retired from film acting. “The movie business is

the greatest business but I only want to do films that move people, films about emotions and people,” Nicholson said in a 2013 interview with The Sun. Toni Erdmann, from writer-director Maren Ade, became somewhat of an international sensation after its Cannes premiere in May 2016. The film, about a father with a proclivity for corny pranks who tries to get his overworked grown daughter to lighten up, is up for a foreign language Oscar this year. Ade will executive produce the remake, but no director has been set. In a 2016 interview with

The music awards show takes place in Los Angeles on Sunday.

I don’t feel the need that it’s remade but it depends on the conditions,” she said. “Everybody has his price.” Representatives for Nicholson and Wiig did not immediately respond to request for comment.

The films, and the bestselling books by EL James they are based on, were accused of normalising abuse as campaigners protested outside the UK premiere of the film to say the series perpetuates damaging stereotypes. However, Johnson said she saw her character as the opposite of a victim. Arriving at the Odeon in

Leicester Square, she said: “I think if those people were to see the film they would see that Anastasia is an incredibly empowered young woman and everything she does is of her own volition. “I think she carries herself with such integrity and self worth that maybe if they watched it they would feel a little bit inspired.”

category for his hit Never Be Like You featuring Kai, with The Chainsmokers instead victorious for Don’t Let Me Down. But just a few minutes later a stunned Flume heard his name called out as winner of Best Dance/Electronic Album for Skin. “Wow. This is totally insane,” he told the at the ceremony underway in Los Angeles. Flume is no stranger to winning awards in Australia, with hauls at ARIA ustralian DJ and ceremonies, but at the music music producer world’s biggest night he was Harley Streten, best known as Flume, was almost floored to win in a category lost for words as he climbed featuring Jean-Michel Jarre, the stairs to the stage at the Tycho, Underworld and Louie Vega. 59th Grammy Awards to “I’m really proud to be accept his win. here representing Australia The 25-year-old from and Australian music at Sydney had just missed out on the Best Dance recording the Grammys on this stage

right now,” Flume told the audience. Australia’s other Grammy nominees had a rough start to the ceremony with Keith Urban, Sia and Hillsong Young & Free among the early nominees to miss out on awards. Urban missed out on Best Country Album and Best Country Song. Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling!, for the movie Trolls, won the best written song for visual media award ahead of Sia’s Try Everything, from the Disney animated hit Zootopia. Hillary Scott & The Scott Family dashed the hopes of two Australian nominees in the Christian music categories. Australian brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone and their band For King & Country were nominated for Best Contemporary Christian

Music Performance/Song for their hit Priceless, but fell to the Scotts. Hillsong Young & Free, the latest offshoot of the Sydneybased mega Hillsong church, were also left empty-handed to the Scotts in the Best Contemporary Christian album category.

amous for its revolving dancefloor, and status as host to some of the biggest bands of the 70’s and 80’s, the once iconic 21st Century Nightclub in Frankston is being relaunched as the Pier Bandroom. From the team that successfully resurrected The Croxton Bandroom, the newly renovated Pier Bandroom will breathe considerable life back into the south side’s live music scene. Two epic events will take place on Saturday 18 March

to celebrate the relaunch of the venue.

Running from 2pm-9pm, the Pier Bandroom Street Party will take over Davey Street from the Nepean Highway down towards Frankston pier. This outdoor mini festival will be headlined by Birds Of Tokyo, with a killer supports including Pierce Brothers, Ecca Vandal, Ali Barter and

The Gooch Palms, and beats provided by Red Bull DJs. Once the sun goes down, the action moves inside to

the Pier Bandroom itself. The Official Bandroom Launch will feature an epic headline set by COG, shaking downtown Frankston with their trademark monolithic prog metal anthems. Supports to be announced. Punters can pay $40 a ticket for either event, or pay $60

for a combined ticket to both shows. Following the launch, The Living End bring their

‘Staring Down the Highway’ tour to the Pier Bandroom on Saturday 1 April. With these massive shows, and a slate of live gigs soon to be announced, Pier Bandroom is set to become a beacon for music lovers in Melbourne’s outer suburbs. For the biggest bands of

the 70’s and 80’s a show at the legendary 21st Century Nightclub in Frankston was an essential inclusion on any

tour itinerary. Massive acts like Sherbert and Skyhooks, through to bands like Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil in the 80’s paid homage to the suburban masses in this infamous shrine to excess, housing what was claimed to be the largest revolving dancefloor in the Southern Hemisphere. In the times since, the venue, trading as the Pier Hotel, has continued to serve local patrons, hosting everything from cover bands through to techno DJ’s and dance parties, its central Frankston location is one of the keys to its endearing and indeed enduring qualities. Pier Bandroom launches Saturday March 18 at Pier Hotel, 1 Davey Street in Frankston. Tickets are $40 each/$60 combined ticket via Oztix and for more information visit www. pierbandroom.com.au

ANDY PHILLIPS – THE HOUSE OF ROCK

here is a buzz about Andy Phillips and deservedly so! His profile has risen quickly to become one of the hardest working and most talked about local artists to come on the local scene the last few years. Andy is known as a cool, likeable, laid-back dude, who can play the hell out of a guitar. Launching this week, Andy Phillips presents House Of Rock, a weekly jam session paying tribute to the 1970’s every Wednesday night at the Seaford Hotel complete with guitar riffs and raw emotion. Take a step back to pre MTV, pre mobile phones and pre digital age. A time when things were less complicated: good mates, beer, transistor radios, the car stereo, dancing and

live rock music at the local. Revisit the 70’s every Wed night with Andy Phillips, backed by a rocking band and special guest musicians each week. Paying tribute to the rock greats of the era: Thin Lizzy, ZZ Top, Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, AD/DC, The Doors, Hendrix, Creedence, Pink Floyd and many more. Growing up listening only to his Dad’s vinyl rock collection - it steeped into his blood; Andy can do justice and pay tribute to the music of the era that very few musicians of his age can. Get down to the Seaford Hotel every Wednesday night for House Of Rock 70’s Jam Sessions featuring Andy Phillips and guests from 7.30pm. #HouseOfRockSeaford

ARIES There is a big chance you’ll have a fruitful week, Aries. Passionate Mars, your planet, can be overbearing and aggressive but it will help you sort things through. Expect some tensions as well though. It’s alright to admit that everything isn’t all rainbows all the time.

TAURUS Neptune, the Planet of Illusions is in your turf this week, Taurus. Dreams, abstract thought and mysteries play an important role this week. It wouldn’t hurt to have faith and open up your mind when it comes to love and work this week. Take the stage and treat spectators to your talents, anything that you’re are expert in. GEMINI Look forward to a busy week, Gemini. Things might not go as smoothly as you hoped for, so extra time and effort, not to mention patience are needed from you. According to the stars the division of the chores at home and the behaviour/education of children will be on the foreground this week.

CANCER Did you succeed in getting clarity about a certain issue concerning your relationship? Fortunately, the proactive positive Sun will cruise through Moon, your ruler planet, which can mitigate some of the drama.

If you use logic you can solve the puzzle without guesswork.

LEO All the ingredients for a good week are there, Leo. Your imagination will be supersized because of these. Creativity is the key; you can derive inspiration from almost anything. You’re on an ambitious quest, working tirelessly on a business plan.

Unfortunately, you might react a little bit too strong when something doesn’t happen like you want it to happen right away. LIBRA Walk away from negative people as much as possible, Libra. You’re blessed with a “can’t stop, won’t stop” aura, so you don’t need the distraction this week. If you feel unappreciated at work, you’ll feel a push towards more profitable opportunities. SCORPIO The stars highlight your relationships this week, Scorpio. Nothing will go wrong if you follow your heart in everything that involves love. Don’t exaggerate though and give enough attention to your mind. SAGITTARIUS You are on an ambitious quest this week, Sagi. While others are silently developing their plans, you’re ready with your pitches and power launches. The most beautiful days for love will start on Thursday. Everything seems to be okay financially as well.

Aussie snail named after Attenborough

“Given he was visiting and he’s now 90 years of age we thought it would be a wonderful tribute and one he’d greatly appreciate. The 35mm-long snail is the latest in a long line of animals and plants including a prehistoric marine reptile, the Sirdavidia flower, bugs, and a long-beaked echidna to be named after Sir David. The snail lives in just 80 square kilometres of wet forest and has been listed as a vulnerable species due to its sensitivity to changes in climate and habitat. As well as choosing Sir David’s name for the snail, the Australian Museum has made him its first Lifetime Patron in recognition of his extensive

newly discovered snail that lives in a remote Tasmanian forest has been named after a giant of the conservation world - Sir David Attenborough. The colourful red and green mollusc was named Attenborougharion rubicundus by the Australian Museum in a tribute to the world-famous naturalist, who was recently on a speaking tour in Sydney. It was discovered last December by two of the museum’s scientists while they were working in forests on the Tasman and Forestier peninsulas, near Port Arthur in Tasmania’s south east. “We could think of no better person to name a new genus after than Sir David Attenborough,” the museum’s chief executive Kim McKay said.

Choosing The Right Agent The most important part of selling or leasing your home is making sure that you have chosen the right agent. Make sure you feel comfortable enough that you can be honest with your agent, this person is going to be in your home, around your family and in many cases they will be privy to financial & personal information regarding you & your family. If you have an instant repour then you are half way there. Be sure the agent is experienced, ask them if they will be the one conducting your ‘Open for inspections’ & private viewings. Many agents have personal assistants or buyer agents who conduct the inspections and deal directly with the buyers rather than the experienced agent you’ve chosen and trusted to negotiate the sale of what may be your biggest asset. In-experienced agents lack confidence, experience & maturity when it comes to challenging & negotiating price. Knowledge of the property you are selling, the attributes it has to offer, the location & infrastructure such as shops and schools - this is important when it comes to challenging buyer objections regarding price. I always say that if a buyer gives me two reason not to buy your home or pay their highest price.. then I will give them 10 reasons why they have to. When you’re flying you want an experienced pilot in control at all times. Imagine if you were an hour into your flight and the pilot announces he is going to sleep, that his apprentice is going to take control for the remainder of the flight. Having an experienced agent in control of what may be your most valuable asset should guarantee a much safer and a less stressful Real Estate journey. Good Luck & Real Estate blessings to you!!

The Mercedes-AMG GT R

ever before has Mercedes-AMG packed so much motorsport technology into a production vehicle than into the new AMG GT R. The front-midengine configuration with transaxle, twin-turbo V8 engine rated at 430 kW, extensively modified suspension, new aerodynamics and intelligent lightweight construction lay the foundations for an especially dynamic driving experience. Wider front and rear wings allow an increased track width for optimum grip and even higher cornering speeds. The new front apron with active elements, the large rear aerofoil and the new rear apron with double diffuser enhance aerodynamic efficiency and help ensure optimum grip. The same applies to other new features such as active rear wheel steering, nine-way adjustable traction control

system and adjustable coil-over suspension with additional electronic control. What is more, the new AMG Panamericana grille emphasises the unique standing of the AMG GT R. Its characteristic form with vertical fins celebrated its world première on the MercedesAMG GT3 customer-sport racing car and has now also been used for the first time for an AMG series-production vehicle in the AMG GT R. “With the new AMG GT R, we have reached the next level of driving performance. This roadgoing sports car with motorracing genes and innovative technical solutions offers an ultimate driving experience that allows people to feel our motorsport origins in every fibre. It combines the driving dynamics of our AMG GT3 racing car with the everyday practicality of the AMG GT.

Figures such as 3.6 seconds from zero to 100 Those with petrol in their km/h and a top speed of 318 veins will be thrilled by the km/h, combined with the radical longitudinal and lateral outstanding driving dynamics, acceleration, the precise turnwill undoubtedly translate in, and the sensational grip.

Its development was (MRLP); final options and largely based on vast motor standard specifications will be racing experience in AMG announced closer to the local GT3 customer sport and the German Touring Car Masters. launch.

2017 Holden Commodore is here

olden has saved the best until last for its final year of locally produced Commodore, combining high-tech features with exceptional customer value and the dynamic performance Commodore has built its reputation on over the past 38 years. Holden Director – Communications, Sean Poppitt, said the 2017 Commodore honoured the attributes that have elevated it to be one of Australia’s most loved cars, whilst hinting at the exciting, technology focus the next-

generation will offer. “Commodore has always stood for leading driving dynamics, exceptional customer value and a striking road presence, and the 2017 Commodore is a perfect example of that,” said Mr. Poppitt. “Not only have we added some great styling enhancements like black accents and some stunning new colours, we’ve also dialed up the technology offering with head-up display and satellite navigation available on SV6 models.” Adding to cosmetic

enhancements, Holden has introduced three new colours to the 2017 Commodore range, including Light My Fire (orange), Spitfire Green and Son of a Gun Grey, giving customers looking for a collectable final model year vehicle another tough decision to make. The Commodore range has been simplified for 2017 with manual transmission reserved for V8 sports sedans and utes, whilst SS-V models and Calais Sportwagon are no longer available.

As with all Holden vehicles, Commodore also promises exceptional customer value beyond the point of purchase thanks to Holden’s leading Lifetime Capped Price Servicing program, as well as financial assistance from Holden Financial Services. With high demand expected, customers are encouraged to order any personally configured MY17 Commodore vehicles via their local Holden dealer before April 2017, with all vehicles ordered after that being subject to availability.

ere’s what you won’t find on Kangaroo Island: Traffic lights, fast food outlets, locked doors, crowds, stress. Here’s what you will find: An array of wildlife - kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, echindas, seal lions, fur seals, eagles, and more. Dazzling nature. Immaculate beaches. Rare flora and fauna. “It’s magical,” says naturalist, tour guide and proud local Nikki Redman. “It’s just wow. An amazing experience - around each

Remarkable Rocks on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. The rocks are a series of 500 million year-old granite boulders formed over time by waves, wind and rain.

corner there is always something there.” Redman is passionate and proud of her island, located off South Australia’s southern coast. It’s the third-largest island in Australia, but there’s nothing in the way of fast food outlets, cinemas and nightclubs amenities we’ve come to know. There are 3 supermarkets and three pubs, spread over an island some 155 kilometres long and 55km wide. And locals chuckle when

as SA’s first colony in 1836, some 34 years after the island was discovered by Captain Matthew Flinders. Embarking from his ship, Flinders and crew members walked up to the island’s kangaroos, who had never seen humans before, and clubbed 31 of them to death. The seafaring skipper was so grateful for the new-found food source, he named the land Kangaroo Island. The island has its own subspecies of kangaroo, related to the Western Grey. There are also 267 species of birds and 900 plant species, 45 endemic to the island. Within 30 minutes of arrival on the island on a tour with Redman’s Kangaroo Island Odysseys, guests creep through bushland to within metres of kangaroos in their natural habitat. These marsupials can travel at speeds of up to 70km/h but mostly just stand looking at the curious humans. Tourists such as Keith Deacon, a 59-year-old decorator from Leicester in England and his wife Mandy, marvel at the experience. “We didn’t think you can get that close. We thought we’d see them from a distance, I even thought we’d need binoculars,” he says. The Deacons and others on this particular tour, including Canadian retirees Tom Barker and Pat Robinson, later sneak through other parts of the island’s bush to within metres of tammar visitors lock their doors - on wallabies. an island near-bereft of crime, The tour party stop on the there’s simply no need. sides of roads - only 600km of Redman, a tour guide with the island’s 1600km of roads Kangaroo Island Odysseys, are bituminised - to watch once left the front door to her echidnas, koalas and goannas Kingscote home wide open creep into the bush. when visiting another part “It’s terrific because we of the island for two days. were hoping to see kangaroos On return, her house was and wallabies because we untouched. don’t have those at home,” The affable guide describes Robinson says. Kingscote as the island’s “big We also visit Seal Bay, city” - about 1600 people of where we walk within metres its estimated 4700 population of some of the bay’s 1000 wild live there. Australia sea-lions, one of the Kingscote was established rarest seal species.

A NATURAL ADVENTURE

The magnificent sea-lions are plonked on the sand, resting after spending three days in the ocean hunting and feeding. After three days rest on the beach, they go hunting again while others breed in the sand dunes. Redman also takes her tour group along Kangaroo Island’s stunning rugged coastlines, untouched by development. We stop at Vivonne Bay, named Australia’s best beach by Sydney University’s Professor Andrew Short after he surveyed some 10,000 major beaches in the country. But for our tour guide, the highlight of the island is Cape du Couedic, the headland at the island’s southwest tip. The cape is where you’ll find tourist drawcard Admirals Arch - a spectacular rockbridge created by thousands of years of erosion and which is home to a fur seal colony. A short drive from the arch is the aptly-named Remarkable Rocks - massive granite boulders dated to 500 million years old, which waves, wind and rain have crafted into distinct, unusual shapes. The area is also launching point for the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail - a 16km, five-day coastline journey that opened last October and was recently voted by Lonely Planet as the world’s thirdbest new tourist attraction. “People love what we do,” says Redman. “The island is a two-day destination and our tours are about going through the wild and finding people as much nature as possible, and the beautiful scenery. “And it’s not just going and taking a photo: I want people to experience it - smell, touch, see - and have that feeling of learning a little bit about that nature so you learn to respect it. “I like everyone to take away that little bit of love for my island. And I think people really do have that love for the island when they leave.”

IF YOU GO... GETTING THERE:

Kangaroo Island island is 13km off the southern coast of South Australia. A 90 minute drive from Adelaide’s central business district, the island is accessible by plane or ferry.

Kangaroo Island SeaLink ferries depart from Cape Jervis and arrive at Penneshaw. On average, eight ferries to and from the island daily at various times. Standard one-way fare is 49 per adult, $25 for children. Standard one-way fares for passenger cars and campers is $98. Daily flights, of 30 minute duration, are available through Regional Express airline, from $278 one-way.

STAYING THERE

SeaLink offers more than 120 accommodation choices on the island, from self-contained; hotel/motel; bed and breakfast; caravan and camping; hostel/ backpackers. The Aurora Ozone Hotel and Apartments is the largest accommodation in Kingscote, the biggest town on the island, with peak-season rates from $179 per night.

PLAYING THERE

Self-drive around the island, or take a guided tours from various operators such as Kangaroo Island Odysseys www.kangarooislandodysseys. com.au.

The island is a natural playground: visit one of the many drawcards such as Seal Bay, Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch; swim with dolphins on a marine adventure tour; go underground at Kelly Caves; take one of numerous wildlife hikes; sneak through bushland to spy on kangaroos, koalas and tammar wallabies. Adventurists are also catered for, with marine tours, sand skiing, quad-bikes - and so are foodies with various restaurants, wineries, a gin distillery and brewery. * The writer travelled as a guest of Kangaroo Island Odysseys.

SPORT Walker reappointed as Crows captain

MUNDINE CALLS FOR GREEN REMATCH IN PERTH

nthony Mundine has called for a third bout with Danny Green, declaring he will "destroy" his long-time rival in his hometown of Perth. Mundine went down to Green in a controversial points decision in Adelaide on February 3, squaring the ledger at one-all 11 years after beating his fierce rival in Sydney. Mundine's camp has lodged an appeal with the Australian National Boxing Federation in the hope of getting the result changed to 'no decision'. But the 41-year-old former super-middleweight

and middleweight world champion is keen to settle the score on hostile territory. "I want to beat him, whip him and hurt him in his own backyard in his own home in Perth," told SEN radio. "All his family can come, all his friends can come and witness him getting fried. "I want to whip his arse. "This time I really feel I can hurt him really bad. I want to put an end to his career." Green has hosed down talk of a rematch, saying he is happy to retire a winner. Mundine says he is keen

to fight Green with the right referee who will allow the two veterans to go at it on the inside and the outside. "Ninety per cent of the people that know boxing know that I won the fight," Mundine said. "Even his fans were coming up to me after the fight saying I won the fight. "I'm not talking one or two people, I'm talking everyone that I run into." Mundine said he wants to fight Green at 83 kilograms, four heavier than what he weighed during the Adelaide bout.

ey forward Taylor Walker will captain Adelaide for a third consecutive AFL season. Walker heads a six-man leadership group at the Crows featuring two newcomers, goalsneak Eddie Betts and Tom Lynch. Midfielder Rory Sloane has been reappointed as vicecaptain with Daniel Talia and Scott Thompson also in the leadership group. Ruckman Sam Jacobs, onballer Richard Douglas and retired ex-skipper Nathan van Berlo drop out of last year's seven-man leadership group. Walker, 26, was last season named the league's captain of the year by the AFL Players' Association. "It's always an honour to be named captain of your football club and it's a responsibility I thoroughly enjoy," Walker said in a statement on Monday.

MARADONA

handed FIFA ambassadorial role F

ormer Argentina captain Diego Maradona has been given an ambassadorial role by the game's global governing body FIFA. "Now it's official," the 1986 World Cup winner said on his Facebook page last Thursday. "Finally I can fulfill one of the lifelong dreams; to work for a clean and transparent

FIFA alongside people who really love football." The ex-Boca Juniors, Napoli and Barcelona forward, 56, was a harsh critic of disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who is serving a six-year ban for ethics violations. The world body is recovering from the worst graft scandal in its history, with dozens of people,

including ex-FIFA executive committee members, indicted in the United States since May 2015. Maradona, who has 91 caps, has been invited back into the FIFA fold thanks to a warm relationship with Blatter's successor Gianni Infantino, who was elected in February last year.

BRAYSHAW HOPING FOR BETTER AFL FORTUNES

econd-year blues are a common affliction in the AFL but few suffer them as badly as Melbourne's Angus Brayshaw did last year. It started with the serious knee injury, sustained in the opening seconds of the Demons' first preseason clash. Then there were the concussions, both sustained on the comeback trail in the VFL within the space of a few weeks. For Brayshaw, who had an outstanding debut season in 2015, the experience was isolating and mentally challenging despite the best efforts of his club. "It's certainly a frustrating injury to deal with because it's a real personal sort of injury," the 21-year-old told AAP. "People can't see that anything's wrong with you but you might feel terrible on different days and it comes and goes. "I think probably early on, it was difficult mentally to work my way into contact training, thinking about what could

happen if I have another concussion. "But the club were terrific in the way they managed me and they let me go at my own pace where I was comfortable. "I played the last seven games in a row and didn't have to worry about it and even now, I don't even think about it anymore. Hopefully all my good luck has been saved for this year because I've spent all of my bad luck last year." Declaring himself stronger and fitter after a solid preseason, Brayshaw has nonetheless been carefully managed after suffering calf soreness early in the campaign. But the tough onballer impressed during the Demons' intra-club match last week and has declared himself 100 per cent fit for Saturday's preseason opener against the Western Bulldogs. The Demons' midfield looms as one of the most impressive in the competition with star recruit Jordan Lewis joining

co-captains Jack Viney and Nathan Jones and young bulls Brayshaw, Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver. "We've got a group of young midfielders who just want to compete," Brayshaw said. "We think we're being taught the right way, and if we get the right characters and

competitors together then I think the rest will take care of itself. "(Lewis) is obviously a super player as well so the more we can draw off him, the better we'll be. When games get tight and things are on the line, he's certainly going to be a calming influence."

South extend olive branch to Victory

he head of South Melbourne's A-League bid has extended the hand of friendship to Melbourne Victory chiefs in an effort to head off any animosity between the two clubs. With expansion in the air, the prospect of the former NSL behemoth and the A-League's biggest club meeting on the field is as close as it's ever been. It's a potential meeting that has fans salivating, but one Victory may not be so keen on. With a bulk of South Melbourne's support moving into Victory's column on the creation of the new league, a school of thought suggests the threetime champions don't want

their neighbours in the A-League. Victory chairman Anthony Di Pietro raised eyebrows last week when he, in a fiery address, called on FFA to ensure expansion took the game to new audiences. "At the core of any expansion, we must be confident that any new licences don't compromise the mainstream integrity and the marketability of the competition," Di Pietro said. Those comments could be read as a notso-subtle dig at South Melbourne's candidacy but Bill Papastergiadis, South board member and A-League bid head, said Victory needn't worry. "We're absolutely no

threat to Victory. We're an asset to Victory, to the A-League and football in general," he told AAP. "We're not about cannibalising their membership, their supporters or the interest they've developed. "We think we can value add and that's the beauty of the South Melbourne bid. It's about the past coming to the future." Papastergiadis said he would seek to talk to Di Pietro to help smooth the passage for their entry into the big time. "I've reached out to their president over the weekend for a coffee to talk to him a little bit about what we might bring to the table," he said.

"We've had discussions with (board member) Joe Mirabella and a few of the other people at Victory. "We see ourselves as working together with Victory as custodians of the game." South's potential entry into the league would create the "biggest and best" derby in Australia "by a long shot", according to Papastergiadis. "It would be the perfect storm," he said. "The latent interest in the former NSL powerhouse with the current A-League powerhouse. Those two coming together could only be for the betterment of football."

IBRAHIMOVIC EYEING FURTHER UNITED GLORY

latan Ibrahimovic wants to lift more trophies before his first season at Manchester United is out. The 35-year-old arrived to much fanfare in the summer and has lived up to the hype, having already become the first United player to score 20 goals in a season since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. There will be plenty of opportunities to add to that tally as United are fighting on four fronts, with the EFL Cup final against Southampton awaiting after matches in the FA Cup and Europa League. Chelsea's indomitable form means the Premier League title is likely beyond reach, but Ibrahimovic is determined to add to August's Community Shield triumph. "We just need to keep going," Ibrahimovic said after Saturday's 2-0 win against Watford. "We want to go through the Europa League and we have

a good game at home against St Etienne. "From five trophies this season we have won one and we are still in four. "I think from the teams in front, only one will become champions. The rest will not get a trophy, but we have one and we can get our second one. "And we are still in the Europa League and FA Cup, so if we don't become champions in the Premier League at least we can try and win two or three trophies." United certainly have the strength in depth to juggle domestic and continental exertions, while their improvements under Jose Mourinho continue. The Portuguese described his side's first-half display against Watford as "art", epitomised by Juan Mata's impressive team goal that the recalled Anthony Martial added to after the break.

Langer backs Shaun Marsh for Test No.6

ustralia's T20 coach Justin Langer has thrown his support behind Shaun Marsh to fill the much-coveted No.6 vacancy in Australia's Test side. Days before he takes up his national role for Australia's three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, Langer weighed into the debate about who would best fit the middle-order position for the much-anticipated four-Test series which starts in India on February 23. "It depends on which balance they go for, how Australia wants to line up," the former Test batsman told AAP. "If they go the traditional XI you'd pick Shaun because of his record in not only the subcontinent but for Australia. "He deserves to play, Shaun

"It'd be a great position for me to try and nail down and that's something I'm hoping to do, starting in India." When naming the squad interim Chairman of Selectors Trevor Hohns highlighted the need for flexibility against the world's No.1 Test side. As West Australian coach, deserves to play in the Test "Shaun (Marsh) is proven in match.

American Kim salivating at new golf season F lamboyant American golfer Christina Kim loves her sport. And food. So it's natural to combine both when talking about her change in golf club brands. "I have a very discerning palate for golf clubs," the world No.88 said in Adelaide on Monday.

Kim, who will open her season at the Australian Open at Royal Adelaide from Thursday, has switched to Parsons Xtreme Golf clubs. "I have never really had a set of wedges where I felt like I could hole out from 110 yards and in, and I salivate at the prospect ... it's like food, it just has me salivating," she said. " ... It's nice to have irons that are really buttery but have enough crispness where you can get proper feedback." The 32-year-old Californian Kim enters the fresh season hoping to bridge the gap between the chasing pack and young guns such as New Zealand's world No.1 Lydia Ko, second-ranked Ariya

Jutanugarn from Thailand and rising American Brooke Henderson. "It's not getting harder and harder to win because of all the young kids, it's getting harder to win because of Lydia Ko, Ariya Jutanugarn and and Brooke Henderson," Kim said. "We have got some of the most incredible golfers in modern day out on the LPGA Tour at one time. It's just phenomenal for the game of golf. "They come from all different parts of the world and from all differing walks of life. And I think that it just really showcases how amazing this sport is."

WE’VE OBVIOUSLY PICKED UP A FEW NEW GUYS AS WELL SO I THINK WE’RE SET FOR A GREAT YEAR

TOP FOUR STILL THE GOAL FOR NEW HAWKS

awthorn's AFL side will have a different look in 2017 but the Hawks' mantra will stay the same - secure a top-four berth, regroup and go again. An off-season of significant change has seen premiership stars Sam Mitchell, Jordan Lewis and

Bradley Hill depart, with Jarryd Roughead assuming the captaincy after triplepremiership skipper Luke Hodge stepped aside. Liam Shiels was also part of Alastair Clarkson's bold makeover, the 25-year-old ascending to the vicecaptaincy alongside Isaac Smith.

Shiels admits there is a different feel around the club entering the 2017 season, but that doesn't mean expectations are lower. "Our mantra for probably the past five years now has been to finish top four to give ourselves the best chance to do some damage

in September ... that stays the same," Shiels said. "Losing those guys does give the young guys the chance to step up ... there's spots up for grabs, so the energy at training has been fantastic. "We've got great young players coming through,
