NEW RESTRICTIONS: 5 TEST POSITIVE

■ FIVE new positive COVID-19 cases mean that new restrictions came into effect at 6pm Tuesday (May 25).

Private gatherings are limited to five visitors a day; public gatherings are restricted to 30 people. Face masks must be worn indoors including in shopping centres and workplaces.

Two men in their 30s and 70s, a woman in her 30s and a pre-schooler, all in the City of Whittlesea, have been confirmed as cases. A man in his 60s was the fifth case announced yesterday (Tue.).

The restrictions follow a blunder where the incorrect supermarket in Epping was identified as a public exposure site.

“Our investigations reveal the individual shopped at the Woolworths Epping North supermarket, corner Epping Rd and Lyndarum Drive (2 Lyndarum Drive), from 5.40pm to 6.38pm on Saturday, May 8,” said Professor Brett Sutton.

“The original exposure site was Woolworths Epping, corner of Cooper and High St s, Epping, on May 8 – a location which is adjacent to other exposure sites. This was an error,” Prof. Sutton said.

Prof. Sutton said that the Department of Health picked up traces of COVID-19 in the wastewater around the Epping and Wollert area.

The latest public exposure sites include Jump Swim Schools, 4/37 The Concord, Bundoora; Futsal Brunswick, 409 Victoria St, Brunswick; Nando’s Epping Dalton Rd, Shop 17 Dalton Village, 351-371 Dalton Rd, Epping; Epping North Shopping Centre, 2 Lyndarum Drive, Epping; House and Party, 2 Lyndarum Drive, Epping; Woolworths Epping North, Shop 13, 2 Lyndarum Drive, Epping; Urban Diner Food Court, Epping Plaza; Highpoint Shopping Centre, 120-200 Rosamond Rd, Maribyrnong; Shell Coles Express, 192 Broadway, Reservoir; B.T. Connor Reserve, Broadhurst Ave, Reservoir.

Anniversary for FOGO ■ Boroondara Council’s Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) kerbside collection service has just celebrated its first birthday.

To mark the event, the Council held a community celebration at Camberwell Primary School on Saturday(May 22).

Costa Georgiadis from the ABC’s Gardening Australia program was special guest. He spoke about the importance of the FOGO service, as well as the sustainable practices to continue to drive bet-

ter environmental outcomes. Previously, h food and garden waste made up up more than half the contents of the average Boroondara waste bin.

On average, Boroondara is now diverting 68 per cent of waste generated away from landfill – an increase in almost 20 per cent from a year ago.

Since FOGO was introduced in May 2020, the Council has seen around 200 tonnes of food and garden waste being redirected into FOGO bins each week.

The Whip Our Spy in Parliament

Is Dan missed?

■ Are the sounds of I Get Along Without You Very Well being hummed in the Labor corridors at State Parliament?

Is Premier Dan Andrews really being missed by the public, as he continues his extensive sick leave, following a debilitising accident at a Mornington Peninsula B&B early this year.

Welcome aboard

■ It has taken a number of years, but well done to the office of Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green (Labor) for getting in touch with The Local Paper and starting the flow of media releases. The newspaper’s team has been asking for this link since 2016. There is an eagerness to be fair in political coverage.

It’s women and chldren first

■ The State Labor Government was on the front foot last week with a Budget that workis towards ending family violence and building a more equal future for women.

There is an aim toi help people from diverse backgrounds and more practical support for victim survivors.

The State Budget looks ro deliver $521.6 million to end family violence and progress gender equality. This includes a $354 million investment to implement all 227 recommendations of the world-first Royal Commission into Family Violence, and builds on unparalleled investments of more than $3.1 billion.

Bushfire fight ■ The State Government says it is spendingmore than $517 million will go towards reducing the risk of bushfires, including $15.6 million to increase work to remove long grasses and other highly flammable undergrowth.

More than $133 million will upgrade the digital radio service for Forest Fire Management Victoria staff and other emergency response personnel, so forest fires are contained more quickly while also keeping firefighters safe.

This will mean personnel can avoid radio black spots and communicate better with other first responders – including Country FireAuthority volunteers – when fighting fires and responding to remote emergencies.

A further $22.5 million will use the expertise of Aboriginal cultural burning in Victoria’s land management, contributing to bushfire preparation in local communities.

‘Out of money’

■ Deputy Opposition Leader Cindy McLeish said the Government’s Budget sends a clear message that it is ut of money and raiding the pockets of country families, farmers and small business owners.

“Nearly $285 million is slashed from regional development and $61.3 million butchered from the agriculture budget,” Ms McLeish said.

“Cuts to biosecurity, no new money to fix crumbling regional roads and millions of dollars plundered from regional public transport to pay for trains in Melbourne.”

Points of order ■ State Parliamentarians are on duty at Spring St for two sitting days this week (Tue. and Wed., May 25 and 26). The next sitting days are June 8-9-10, just before the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

■ MPs last week had a moment to remember death of Francis ‘Frank’ Patrick Sheehan, member of the Legislative Assembly for the district of Ballarat South from April 3, 1982 to October 2, 1992.

Edelsten is due to face court on October 8.” The report stated that Edelsten said she was shocked, saddened and distressed by the charges and intended to vigorously fight them.”

Eastern Metropolitan MLC Rod Barton believes the 2021 Victorian budget is a Labor budget with Labor values. He says this budget has focused on mental health, education and healthcare, with significant investment in the Eastern Metropolitan region. Barton is pleased to see $386 million dedicated to the government’s new Road Safety Strategy.

“This investment has been encouraged by the Road Toll Inquiry which Mr Barton was heavily involved in this past year,” says a media release from his office. The $3.8 billion announced to address our current mental health crisis will deliver critical support to our community. Barton has been advocating for more tailored supports for senior's mental health and is happy to see $264 million for new local and tailored services for adults and older adults. When the mental health of our seniors declines, this disadvantages the entire community. Barton will continue to push for more community-based services.”

Monash Council is one of 46 Vic torian councils to sign on to VECO, the Victorian Energy Collaboration, the largest ever emissions reduction project by local government in Australia. VECO, will provide 45 per cent of all Victorian councils’ electricity requirements with 100 per cent renewables.

The project will see the replacement of old, failed concrete blocks with a fit-for-purpose tipping area.

As a result of these works, scheduled to commence on Monday (May 31), the facility will be unable to accept tipping of some materials during construction. Customers may choose to unload this material manually.

Some large vehicles and vehicle combinations may be restricted because of limited space. The works will require the temporary relocation of the metal and concrete disposal areas to the existing general waste and green waste areas.

Because of the nature of these works, arrangements may need to be adjusted throughout the construction period.

W’horse eyes Fwy land ■ Whitehorse City Council is considering a proposal to become the future land manager of the Healesville Freeway Reserve.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning contacted the Council to seek an expression of interest to manage the 35 hectare parcel of land that runs from Springvale Rd, Forest Hill to Boronia Rd, Vermont. It is reserved for conservation, recreation and leisure.

Whitehorse Mayor, CrAndrew Munroe said the Council is always interested in exploring partnership opportunities with other levels of government to increase open space and community facilities for our existing and future population.

"We are actively considering the proposal to become land manager of the Healesville Freeway Reserve and will keep the community informed about Council's possible options," Cr Munroe said.

DELWP is the interim land manager of the reserve. ● Ambulance wait times are the worst since the Andrews Government came to power, says Forest Hill MLA Neil Angus.

Box Hill Inst. opens centre ■ Box Hill Institute has opened a $10.2 million trades training centre at its Lilydale Lakeside campus to deliver industry-current apprenticeship training in wood, electrical, plumbing and automotive trades.

The new, purpose-built, flexibly designed facility will provide the Yarra Ranges and surrounding areas with training opportunities, addressing key gaps in the education and training available in the region, which has an increasing demand for skilled workers.

In consultation with the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation, the trades centre has been given an indigenous ● Aunty Doreen Garvey-Wandin Australian name - Nallei Jerring Nyerboing - which the name as we thought of the and industrious was perfect to means, Join Unite Industrious. community atmosphere being represent all areas of works that Senior elder Aunty Doreen at the campus. will be done in that building,” “We thought that join and Aunty Doreen GarveyGarvey-Wandin said, "We came together and came up with unite was perfect for that area Wandin was quoted to say.

New provider at Knox ■ Not-for-profit aged care services provider Uniting AgeWell will deliver domestic assistance, personal care, respite care and social services for older residents in Knox from July 1.

This will help the older residents to remain living independently at home, says a media statement from Knox City Council.

The announcement follows the Council’s decision last year to cease providing these Commonwealth Home Support Program services, in response to national reforms that would require Council to substantially increase client fees and threaten the viability of Council continuing to be a provider.

Knox City Council Mayor, Cr Lisa Cooper, said residents will continue to receive the same direct care services they previously relied on at the same frequency.

“Continuity of care is our highest priority for our older residents. We are working closely with Uniting AgeWell to ensure a smooth transition for all clients and their carers,” said Cr Cooper.

“Council will continue to provide food services (meals on wheels), home maintenance, home modifications and occupational therapy, and will reinvest any savings in complementary services to support our seniors to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives here in Knox.”

● Cr Lisa Cooper, Knox Mayor

When The Rain Stops Falling ■ Theatre Works and Iron Lung Theatre present Andrew Bovell's multi award-winning play When the Rain Stops Falling at Theatre Works from July 10 - 31.

Directed by Briony Dunn, When the Rain Stops Falling spans four generations over eight decades across two countries, between a prediction in London in 1959 and its outcome in Australia 80 years later.

Set in Alice Springs, 2039. A fish falls from the sky. It’s been raining for days, the apocalypse moves ever closer and Gabriel York knows something is wrong. And so begins this epic sprawling drama, where fish fall from the sky, a daughter inherits a secret and where the rain never stops.

Taking place between two worlds, When The Rain Stops Falling reaches from the claustrophobia of a small flat in rainy London in 1959 to the windswept coast of South Australia and beyond, following the journey of Gabriel Law as he retraces his father’s footsteps, desperately attempting to solve the mystery of his disappearance.

“Andrew Bovell has an incredible way of making the everyday reach out and touch us in an extraordinary way. And this play does that,” explains Iron Lung’s Director Briony Dunn.

Founded in 2018 by NIDA graduates Esther van Doornum and Briony Dunn, Iron Lung is a Melbourne-based independent theatre com-

● Helen Koehne and Adam Jon ■ In the 19th century, opera went to the people in far-flung regional areas, thanks to innovative entrepreneurs who set up their own companies and took to the road.

That tradition is alive and well in 2021, thanks to GBD Productions' Mr Lyster's Touring Opera Company, which is taking its current production of Donizetti's comic opera Don Pasquale, to various Victorian regional locations, including Tarnagulla, Oxley, Avoca and Daylesford.

As in the 19th century, the arrival of an opera company in town is a big event, and country opera lovers are flocking to hear the company perform in their own town, without the bother of a trip to a large regional centre or Melbourne. So it's no surprise that some of the dates are already booked out.

But Melbourne opera lovers won't miss out - Don Pasquale is coming to Prahran's MC Showroom on Sunday June 13 at 2pm, for its only Melbourne performance.

This light and frothy opera centres around Ernesto wanting to marry his beloved Norina, but his uncle Don Pasquale wants him to marry a mire noble wife so Don P doesn't have to look after his nephew any more.

So the Don gets together with the conniving Dr Malatesta to trick the young lovers, and the story follows the usual twists and turns of romance, but does have a happy ending.

Don Pasquale is full of beautiful music, played on the piano by Pamela Christie, following the tradition of the 19th century touring operas.

Rising young star Adam Jon is playing Dr Malatesta, and in a strange twist of fate, Adam was studying on an opera scholarship in Italy, and was about to take to the stage of the Pavarotti theatre as Dr Malatesta, when two weeks before show time, everything was shut down and he had to return to Australia.

Needless to say, Adam is delighted to have the chance to strut his stuff as Dr Malatesta in his hometown and state.

Joining Adam on stage are Helen Koehne, Hew Wagner, Jamie Moffat, Trevor Mills, Jessica Joan Graham, Adelaide Soccio Greenaway, Josh Morton-Galea and Thomas Saar.

What’s On Yarra Valley Writers Festival

■ The second Yarra Valley Writers Festival will be held between July 16 -18 in various locations in Warburton.

This word-filled event features contemporary Australian writers and thinkers discussing the theme of resilience.

With topics covering sex, history, motherhood, environment, crime loneliness, music, vulnerability and family, Warburton will become the home of conversations and ideas with Don Watson, Helen Garner, Jock Serong, Tony Birch, Kate Mildenhall, Nardi Simpson, Stuart Coupe, Rick Morton, Jessie Tu, Victoria Hannan, Garry Disher, Monica Dux and more featuring across the program.

Yarra Valley Writers Festival Director Brook Powell said the winter weekend of words is for readers, thinkers and wine lovers who are seeking inspiration and creativity as well as wanting to be challenged through thought-provoking conversation.

“This year’s program will champion resilience. Conversation by conversation we will dissect what society thinks it is, what we believe it to be and how it shows up in both daily life and global acts.

“The program explores how true resilience can often sit in the small repeated acts of survival, as well as the enormously impressive ‘against-all-odds’ stories.

“The authors will discuss cultural, personal, financial, creative, environmental and community resilience and together we will leave feeling inspired, humbled, joyful – and maybe even ever-so-slightly changed,” said Ms Powell.

The Yarra Valley Writers Festival will feature talks, lunches, workshops and special events. Bookings essential prior to arrival.

Tickets to the Yarra Valley Writers Festival are available at yarravalleywriters festival.com - Cheryl Threadgold

En Pointe

■ I confess I don’t know my jetés from my pliés, nor my pirouettes from my fouettés, but I have transformed into a ‘balletomane’ after seeing En Pointe. Morning Melodies began in 1985 and this 451st concert was the first for 2021. There could be no finer way to celebrate the Arts, than to experience the supreme talent of the Australian Ballet students at Hamer Hall.

Paquita grand pas classique is an excerpt from the 19th century ballet Paquita, with music by Ludwig Minkus, and staged by Joanne Michel and Andrew Murphy after Marius Petipa. Set in Spain, a red-lit background framed the dancers, perfectly complementing their gorgeous costumes and exuberant dancing. A grand pas classique is a ‘dance with variations to demonstrate ballet technique’, including ensembles, duets and solos. The dancers displayed stunning athleticism and finesse and the music swelled stirringly as everyone participated in the spirited finale.

Next was Little Chaos. Bare-topped men in grey tights slithered onto the stage, the grey background a sombre accessory as dancers leapt and writhed to an insistent score by Ólafur Arnalds and Ezio Bosso. Heavy on strings, the music and movement gradually slowed, as the dancers alternately slid and flopped to the floor, the frenzied pace reaching stillness. Choreographer Simon Dow developed this piece during COVID, as students faced six months of remote learning - especially trying for dancers unable to graduate in 2020.

Waltz of the Hours from Coppélia by Arthur Saint-Léon, was staged by Sabrina Lezzi with music by Léo Delibes. The dancers wore elegant black dresses and the dancing was assured, occasionally employing jerky, doll-like steps, as befits Coppélia.

The final piece was White Nights, choreographed by Stephen Baynes with music

by Alexander Borodin. Courtship rituals were enacted with vigour then languid grace, as the dance ended quietly and gently.

The concert was a terrific showcase for the next generation of ballet stars for the Australian Ballet. The future looks extremely rosy.

Storytelling at Glen Eira ■ The Glen Eira Storytelling Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary and opens Saturday June 19, running until Sunday July 4.

The Festival will continue to embrace storytelling in all its forms for all ages and interests: through exhibitions, concerts, cabaret, theatre, comedy performances, Your Stories popups, film, discussion panels, talks, open mic sessions, art installations and more.

Because of capacity limits, many events will also be live-streamed for you to enjoy from the comfort of your home.

Personal stories inspire. As a household name, storyteller, lawyer and broadcaster Jon Faine ‘talks back’ about his life, peers, achievements and challenges.

Mike Rolls has lived through one of the world’s deadliest diseases and multiple amputations. He draws upon his resilience to embrace ‘uncertainty’ and share the benefits of a positively inspiring ‘What’s Next?’ mindset.

Two local and prolific Creative Couples: Mitch Vane and Danny Katz (Little Lunch series, also on ABC TV) ,and Fiona Harris and Mike McLeish (internationally award-winning web series The Drop Off recently acquired by Channel 9) present on living, working creatively together and apart in venues of personal significance: Glen Eira Town Hall and Rippon Lea Estate.

Local Glen Eira sites will be activated with pop-up projections from the Your Stories project collected from the people in the community during the pandemic.

Observations The Image is Not Nothing

■ How does the world remember its collective trauma?

The exhibition, The Image is not Nothing (Concrete Archives), presented across two venues, Living Museum of the West, Pipemakers Park, Maribyrnong and Margaret Lawrence Gallery, University of Melbourne Southbank, looks at acts of genocide, terror and collective memory.

The curators, Lisa Radford and Yhonnie Scarce, have put together artworks from 20 emerging and established international and Australian artists representing moving legacies of moments in our cultural history that we’d rather forget but must remember.

Andree Korpys and Markus Löffler’s video installation Reflecting Absence reveals echoes of triumphalist New York monuments, the Stock Exchange, the statue of George Washington on Wall Street, Trump Tower and Times Square in all its electrified brashness is juxtaposed with grainy images of tourists congregating at the twin reflective pools of the 9/11 memorial.

Like Super-8 holiday movies, the footage captures the nostalgic atmosphere of the past, disturbing our sense of the meaning of memorialisation.

Judy Watson’s video installation, The Witness Tree, asks what are indigenous memorials?

The tragedies accompanying colonisation still unobserved and unrecognised.

Nina Sanadze’s epic Apotheosis, a collection of disfigured, vandalised, defaced, mutilated wisps of Soviet monumental sculpture left lying on the ground, embodies a past regime long dead.

In light of the recent destruction rendered on Palmyra and the Bamiyan Buddhas, Sanadze taps into a sense of mourning for cultural heritage lost.

Phil Collins’s deeply moving video installation, zasto ne govorim srpski (na srpskom), is visceral in its depiction of the deadly conflict that followed the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

Witness testimony reveals the erasure of language, and with it, genocide and crimes against humanity.

There are many more evocative works in this exhibition. All leave a trace on our conscience.

Exhibition dates and times: Until June 26. Margaret Lawrence Gallery, 40 Dodds Street, Southbank. Tuesday - Saturday 125pm. Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West, Pipemakers Park, Van Ness Avenue, Maribyrnong.

Flashes

● Jude Perl will perform in the Glen Eira Storytelling Festival

■ The Underground Cinema was held last weekend at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. There was storytelling surrounded by more than 20 actors, utilising the various spaces across the Centre.

■ Friends: The Musical Parody will open at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre on Sunday, June 20.

Dustyesky’s seasons of Melbournova ■ Australia’s fake Russian choir Dustyesky was due to play in Melbourne as part of the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, but after postponement, will now be appearing at the Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne on Thursday July 1 and Sunday July 4, with further shows at the Brunswick Ballroom scheduled for Friday July 2 and Saturday July 3. All original ticket buyers have been contacted directly by the ticketing agent regarding the new shows.

Dustyesky says of the Melbourne shows: “Bring on the famous four seasons of Melbournova in one day. Dustyesky comes to huddle around the fires and bar heaters of your socialist tractor and dry-cleaning collectives.

Davai.”

As featured on ABC TV's Australian

Story, when 28 blokes from the Northern Rivers coastal community of Mullumbimby came together to share beers and sing Russian songs, Dustyesky was born.

None of them are Russian, have a connection to Russia or even speak the language, yet they have gained global notoriety, and stardom in the motherland, for their spirited renditions of Red Army and traditional Russian folk songs.

Performing in four-part harmonies with gusto and élan, Dustyesky has entertained crowds at Woodford Folk Festival, Mullum Music Festival, Falls Festival, Melbourne Fringe Festival, and most recently WOMADelaide – becoming instant festival icons with their powerful voices, potent masculinity, and rustic charm.

■ Hi everyone, remotely from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites in West Hollywood comes this week's news

Out and About

First win in 287 days

■ North Melbourne sealed its first win in 287 days, its first for season 2021 and its first under coach David Noble, leading to heart-warming post-game scenes in Hobart.

The Kangaroos trailed by a point against Hawthorn at threequarter time, but kicked four final term goals to get over the line by seven points.

It was the first of the 2021 season for this young team. A long way to go yet and I believe this group with a new coach has the opportunity to grow and be successful.

This proud club which was founded 152 years ago never gives up. Four Premiership cups on the trophy stand: 1975, 1977, 1996 and 1999.

We all partied like it was 1999 back then. I think I still have an injury from that time. We are in good hands in the top office with former player Ben Buckley as our Chairman; great facilities at Arden St, and I feel that the planets are aligning for 2022.

Back with the parents ■ For millions of young Americans, the pandemic has been a time machine back to the early eighties.

By July 2020, 52 per cent of 18 to 29 years or 26.6 million adults, were now residing with a parent, according to a new Pew Research Centre analysis, the highest number since the Great Depression.

In New York, some 300,000 left the city. Many of those people found themselves living in time capsules: lovingly preserved childhood bedrooms, plastered in posters and magazine cut-outs of boy bands and James Cameron blockbusters, and tricked out with décor from the Myspace era.

Many are still there. Jess Cohen, 39, was one of them. She left her Manhattan apartment during the pandemic to move back in with her family in Fresh Meadows, Queens.

Her modest bedroom hadn't changed since high school, two decades ago. A Titanic poster, a Barbie-sized Kate Winslet doll, the sign-in board from her Sweet Sixteen, stuffed animals and glass knickknacks from a school formal where just as she had left them. The girlish pink walls were the cherry on top of what feels like a ‘Blossom’ meets ‘Clarissa Explains It All’ retrospective.

Europe starts to re-open ■ The European Council has now agreed to recommend that member countries once again allow vacation travel, although it is not clear when those restrictions might be eased as individual countries will need to formalize the change.

But Scott Keyes, founder of Scott's Cheap Flights, says this bodes well for the usually busy summer travel season.

"The good news is for folks who have been able to get their shots, who are fully vaccinated, it seems like Europe travel will be open for you this summer and you can expect to be able to take those trips that so many of us have been putting off for the past year."

It is a big reversal from last summer when many countries prohibited Americans from entering because of climbing cases.

Now, with vaccinations as high as 76 per cent in parts of the Bay Area, the "Bienvenue, entrez vous" mat is out.

Keyes says this is also welcome news to the travel industry.

"There has been a lot of uncertainty about whether or not this summer travel season which is so important for folks who work in travel, especially in southern Europe was going to happen this year," he said.

"If we missed another summer travel season like we did this past year, that could have been an existential crisis for a lot of folks working in travel, a lot of people who rely on tourists to put food on the table.

“So I think this announcement from the EU that the summer travel season will likely not only happen but include vaccinated Americans I think is giving folks a lot of excitement and confidence for these upcoming months."

The EU is expected to start using a Digital Green Certificate for its own residents to store their vaccination information, but it is not clear if that system will also be put in place for travellers.

And with some European countries lagging behind in vaccinations, it is not known just what the conditions will be for travellers this summer.

■ China will soon confirm that its population has dropped for the first time since it started recording the figure in 1949, the Financial Times reports.

The new Chinese census was completed last year and its release was expected this month but has been mysteriously delayed.

The headline figure will reportedly show that the nation's population has declined below the 1.4 billion mark recorded two years ago, even though Beijing has relaxed most of its notoriously strict family-planning policies.

Huang Wenzheng, a fellow at Beijing think tank, the Centre for China and Globalization, said the census release will be "handled very carefully" because it could have "a huge impact on how the Chinese people see their country and how various government departments work."

He added: "The pace and scale of China's demographic crisis are faster and bigger than we imagined. That could have a disastrous impact on the country."

■ California is to begin increasing early release credits for about 76,000 inmates, including tens of thousands who were convicted of violent crimes, as the state continues to reduce its prison population.

The Associated Press reported that of the 76,000 who will be eligible for early release, some 63,000 were convicted of violent crimes.

They will now be eligible to obtain good behaviour credits that will "shorten their sentences by one-third instead of the one-fifth that had been in place since 2017."

That number includes 20,000 inmates who were sentenced to life sentences with the possibility of parole.

"More than 10,000 inmates convicted of a second serious but nonviolent offense under the state's 'three strikes' law will be eligible for release after serving half their sentences.

“That's an increase from the current time-served credit of one-third of their sentence."

In addition, nearly 2900 nonviolent inmates who were imprisoned as part of the "three strikes" law will be eligible for early release after serving half of their sentence.

Further, "all minimum security inmates in work camps, including those in firefighting camps, will be eligible for the same month of earlier release for every month they spend in the camp, regardless of the severity of their crime."

■ Do you find yourself reaching for the calculator, even for the really simple math problems?

There's a lot of concern these days that technology, like artificial intelligence, is too smart for its own good.

Despite fear over how intrusive these algorithms are becoming, a new study finds people are actually more willing to trust a computer than their fellow man.

Researchers at the University of Georgia say this is especially true when people find tasks too challenging to handle alone.

However, it's not just the "heavy lifting" humans are running to computers for help with. From choosing the next song in the playlist to finding better fitting pants, algorithms are making more and more of the daily decisions in people's lives whether they realize it or not. " Algorithms are able to do a huge number of tasks, and the number of tasks that they are able to do is expanding practically every day," says Eric Bogert, a Ph.D. student in the Terry College of Business Department of Management Information Systems, in a university release. "It seems like there's a bias towards leaning more heavily on algorithms as a task gets harder and that effect is stronger than the bias towards relying on advice from other people."

Magazine ■ I clearly remember interviewing June Bronhill in 1992. It was a bit like talking to Queen Elizabeth but there was a twinkle in her eye and I soon relaxed in her presence.

The radio interview was to promote a show that June was doing at that time titled, Legends.

I was at the opening night and when June sang Vilia from The Merry Widow, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. It was marvellous and I will never forget it.

June Mary Gough was born in Broken Hill, New South Wales in 1929 and began singing at the age of four. When June was 20 she came third in The Sun Aria Vocal and won the competition the following year.

She never forgot that it was the people of Broken Hill who raised the money to send her to England in 1952 to further her operatic studies.

Whilst in England she adopted the stage name of June Bronhill which was an abbreviation of her beloved home town.

June trained with the Sadler's Wells Company and became one of their leading coloratura sopranos. She appeared in leading roles in their productions of Die Fledermaus, The Gypsy Baron, Don Pasquale, The Telephone, Martha and Hänsel und Gretel.

Her performance in The Merry Widow in 1958 saved the company from financial ruin. In 1960 June Bronhill triumphantly returned to Broken Hill and the crowds flocked to the air-

Whatever Happened To ...

June Bronhill

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM port to greet her. It was bigger than the Queen's visit in 1954.

In 1962 June Bronhill starred as Maria Von Trapp in the first Australian production of The Sound Of Music for J. C. Williamson's.

In 1962 June played Elizabeth Barrett Browning in the West End musical Robert and Elizabeth opposite another Australian, Keith Michell.

I still remember her performance in 1966 when she performed the role at The Princess Theatre in Melbourne, this time working with Dennis Quilley and Frank Thring.

During her fabulous career June starred in Gilbert & Sullivan productions such as HMS Pinafore, Iolanthe and Pirates of Penzance.

● June Bronhill She also starred in the musical comedies, The Maid Of The Mountains, Call Me Madam, A Little Night Music, Nunsense, My Fair Lady and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. In her later years June acted in several straight plays Arsenic And Old Lace and Straight And Narrow.

In 1977 she received the OBE for her services to the performing arts. June was married twice and had a daughter, Carolyn.

In 1980 she was cast as Mrs Slocombe in the Australian television version of Are You Being Served and played opposite one of the original cast members, John Inman.

June worked in many concerts and shows with her dear friend, Dennis Olsen. During her career she recorded more than 30 albums. Sadly June lost her hearing at the age of 65 and this impacted on her quality of life in her final years.

J June Bronhill passed away in a Sydney nursing home in January 2005. Her funeral was held in Broken Hill. Two days later, on Australia Day, there was a two minute silence held in her home town as a mark of respect for their beloved citizen.

June conquered the world and performed in operas, musical comedies and plays. June Bronhill truly earned the title of ‘Australian Legend’.

Beside her wonderful voice her acting particularly in the sleepwalking scene was excellent.

Banquo was given a strong and enjoyable performance by Adrian Tamburini. His acting was enhanced by a wonderful bass showing how a good voice can lift a show.

A large chorus as determined by Verdi which gave voice to many and echoed across Her Majesty's Theatre. Another great production from Melbourne Opera giving Melburnians and visitors a chance to see operas not often seen in Melbourne.

Macbeth with Melb. Opera

■ Tuesday May 18 saw the Melbourne Opera present Macbeth

by Verdi at Her Majesty's Theatre Melbourne.

A great evening of opera to welcome Melbourne Opera's fans back to the theatre after COVID-19.

Director Bruce Beresford has said in his notes that this production is predominately the 1847 version but with Macbeth's last aria which has been restored.

The production made good use of a rear and front screen for extra effects. A large cast as Verdi increased the number of witches from the original three to 30 and he introduced a large group of jaunty assassins for the murder of Banquo.

This made for a very busy stage which on occasion did seem to be a little cramped.

Macbeth was portrayed by Simon Meadows who caught the character to perfection giving a good performance and his arias were superb. He had a great rapport with Helena Dix as Lady Macbeth.

Dix as Lady Macbeth was greatly appreciated by the opening night audience for her wonderful voice in her arias and duets. She also caught the essence of such a scheming woman with her own destiny in mind.

Surreal Landscapes - curated by Danny Lacy and Rosie Weiss Surreal Landscapes is a group exhibition that explores the way artists position subtle and strange, absurd and dreamlike interventions within the landscape, abstracting and shifting our reading of the landscape.

These interventions often exist around an historical or personal narrative and embed political and social commentary within these representations.

Art Trams

■ Melbourne’s Art Trams are making their triumphant return for Rising, Victoria’s newest major cultural event, and for the first time are designed entirely by Victorian First Peoples artists.

Curated by Rising Artistic Associate Kimberley Moulton (Yorta Yorta) and rolling out over the next two weeks, the six First Peoples Art Trams reflect a sense of place that is core to Rising.

The six selected artists whose work will be featured are: ■ Deanne Gilson ■ Thomas Marks ■ Aunty Rochelle Patten ■ Jarra Karalinar Steel ■ Ray Thomas ■ Aunty Zeta Thomson - Contributed

● Justin Bieber ■ Three years ago, Justin Bieber felt like he was overdue to buy a new car. Rather than visiting a dealer showroom he texted the auto yard to have them build a special one-off concept car - nothing less than a futuristic Rolls-Royce .

The Biebs has just taken delivery of the Roller and was seen shopping in LA last week with his child bride sitting alongside, en route to a dinner date.

Heaven knows what the RR cost as the prototype looks like a two-tone spaceship as it floats above the road.

Twiggy celebrates

■ English model-actress Twiggy won two Golden Globe awards for her part in the Boy Friend film. That was 50 years ago. Time passes quickly.

Photos of Twiggy will once again grace the pages of our dailies when the 2021 Melbourne Cup rolls around.

Iggy Pop warning

■ We have only seen a fleeting preview of the latest film featuring rock icon Iggy Pop. It looks mighty scary, yet the name of the film The Dawn could pass for a pantomime.

SBS Presents

■ The next season of 'Who do you think you are ?'' starts on SBS , June 8 at 7.30 pm. The rollcall of celebs is impressive and should be interesting, they include Celia Pacquola, Malcolm Turnbull, Denise Drysdale, Jeff from the Wiggles, Uncle Jack Charles, Grant Denyer and Natalie Bassingthwaite.

Stonnington tender for Carols

■ A tender has been advertised by the City of Stonnington for an experienced individual, or people, to take on control of musical direction for Christmas Carols in the Park, season 2021. More info on the Stonnington tenders page - John O’Keefe

Theatre Extra Meow Meow

■ The intro to the singing sensation, the diva that is Meow Meow, set the scene: “From the backrooms of Berlin, the tar pits of Johannesburg, the opium dens of Shanghai, the vagaries of Vegas, the speakeasys of New York City”.

What followed was hilarious and dazzling.

Costume changes—feathers, sequins, a ridiculously long train—and sight gags abound.

Between the jokes, Meow Meow delivered glittering renditions of classics such as Jacques Brel’s Ne Me Quitte Pas, French chanteuse Barbara’s Parce Que Je T'Aime and Piazzolla’s Rinasceró.

Unsuspecting but game audience members are cajoled onto the stage and instructed to stroke from knee to ankle: “Fully consenting ladies and gentlemen.”

Meow Meow then thrills with Spoliansky’s delectable Ich bin ein Vamp commanding the luckless but gallant audience members to ‘get me into a swastika by the end of the song’.

“Usually Melbourne, people throw flowers at this point.”

She sulks offstage, muttering “Do I have to do everything myself?’ returning with bunches of flowers, distributing them to the hapless audience members in the front row.

“Timing is everything” she deadpans. All at once, she stops the orchestra and calls for the trapeze: “What! No trapeze?”

Instead, she launches herself at the audience, and crowd surfs through the next number. Through all the laughter, we witness her amazing artistry accompanied by the wonderful MSO conducted by Ben Northey.

Act Two sees a fabulous delivery of Brecht and Weil’s Surabaya Johnny. While Brecht and Weil may be the sound of Weimar Germany, Meow Meow—self-confessed ‘post-postmodernist’—yanks us into the 21stcentury with renditions of Patty Griffin’s Be Careful, Amanda Palmer’s Missed Me, and Radiohead’s Fake Plastic Trees.

And, from the sublime to the ridiculous, Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini in French, Mandarin and an outlandish avant-garde. Presented at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne.

Magazine

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not FILM: LOVE AND MONSTERS (Streaming on NETFLIX): G e n r e : Action/Comedy/Sci-Fi/Adventure.

Cast: Dylan O'Brien, Jessica Henwick, Tandi Wright, Michael Rooker, Bruce Spence.

Year: 2020.

Rating: P G .

Length: 109 Minutes.

Stars: * * * ½ Review: A post-apocalyptic action-comedy of a young love-struck survivor of a "monsterpocalypse" who leaves his underground bunker after seven years of shelter and braves the creature-inhabited Earth in order to find his high school sweetheart.

Delightfully entertaining creature-feature adventure romp has everything fans of the genre could wish for, giant man-eating bugs, an immensely likeable lead on a cross country trek through monster infested terrain, quirky characters and the search for romance, the creature-feature equivalent reminiscent in plot of 2009's "Zombieland" (without the zombies) that delivers a refreshing blast on an age old formula that is sure to even entertain the more jaded of the genre.

"Maze Runner" star Dylan O'Brien is a standout as the love-struck boy on a death defying a mission, superbly displaying all the fear, loneliness, gusto and comic energy that ranks alongside the likes of "Indiana Jones," and is aided by a superb supporting cast that includes Jessica Henwick as the girlfriend he goes in search for, screen veteran character actor Michael Rooker (Mississippi Burning, JFK, Guardians of the Galaxy) as a survival expert our young hero meets along the way, along with a loveable pooch named "Boy." Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, this is a brisk, fun, lean, mean, thrilling, fresh, funny and ultimately an emotionally fulfilling post-apocalyptic dystopian survival romp, a well made journey inspired by many of the genre before it, but unlike too many of those that have also been inspired by the genre before them, "Love and Monsters" stands heads, tails and creatures above them, deservedly joining a long list classic creature-features that have thrilled and entertained audiences for generations.

FILM: THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW (Streaming on NETFLIX): G e n r e : Crime/Drama/Mystery.

Cast: Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Julianne Moore, Wyatt Russell, Anthony Mackie.

Year: 2021.

Rating: M .

Length: 100 Minutes.

Stars: * * ½ Review: A whodunnit crime-drama-mystery of an agoraphobic woman living alone in New York City who witnesses a disturbing act of violence while spying on her neighbours Based on the best selling thriller novel by A.J. Finn, and from a screenplay by celebrated Pulitzer Prize winning playwright (August: Osage County, Bug and Killer Joe) and actor (Lady Bird, The Post) Tracy Letts, this is ultimately nothing more than a inferior rehash of the timeless Alfred Hitchcock 1954 classic "Rear Window," but nonetheless, especially for younger generations who are yet to experience the world of the cinematic master of suspense, there's enough here to hold interest throughout as the all too familiar plot twists unfold.

Competently directed by Joe Wright, whose previous credits include the Oscar nominated "Pride and Prejudice" (2005) and the Oscar winning "Atonement" (2007) and "Darkest Hour" (2017), has here put together a stellar cast beginning with six time Oscar nominee Amy Adams in a surprisingly shallow performance as the overly stressed, pill popping agoraphobic psychologist who witnesses the crime from her window, Oscar winner Gary Oldman as the suspected abusive husband, along with Oscar winner Julienne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Wyatt Russell as the tenant, and Tracy Letts as the psychiatrist to our troubled protagonist.

Heavily inspired by the film-noir genre of the '40s and '50s, most notably such classics as Otto Preminger's "Laura" (1944), "Dark Passage" (1947) and the Hitchcock classics "Spellbound" (1945) and, not surprisingly, "Rear Window" (1954) itself, there's a lot on offer with an abundance of possibilities, but sadly falls short on atmosphere, exposition and emotion to the full effect, but the cast do their best as they weave in and out of the dark and tangled web of deceit, and for this reason it's worth the time and effort, however, as long as the Hitchcock's "Rear Window" is out there, this window will always remain a distant and foggy reflection of the unsurpassed textbook masterpiece that inspired it.

Rourke’s Reviews First Love ■ (MA). 110 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas May 27.

Initially set for theatrical release March last year, Takashi Miike's energetic, highly entertaining action/ comedy/romance thankfully receives a much-deserved big screen release, and is a crazed, often hilarious cross between After Hours (1985) and Stranger Of Mine (2005).

A budding romance between Reo (Masataka Kubota) and Monika (Sakurako Konishi) is put to the test, as they inadvertently become involved with warring gangsters and corrupt cops over a very memorable night.

Miike plays out the outlandish scenario with skilled precision, and there are standout performances from Shota Sometani and Becky.

RATING - ****

Oxygen ■ (M). 101 minutes. Now streaming on Netflix.

Alexandre Aja, whose body of work as a director has been variable at best, delivers his best film since High Tension (2003), the knockout horror/thriller that put him on the cinematic map.

The less you know about the plot the better, suffice to say that Elizabeth (Melanie Laurent) wakes up in a medical chamber, and has to figure out how she got there and why, before her dwindling oxygen supply runs out.

Although Aja's visual clues gives away some plot turns way too early, there is still much fun to be had, and this works better than the somewhat disappointing Ryan Reynolds film, Buried (2010).

Slick and well-paced, and despite its one chamber setting, the film zips by quickly, indicating that the film-makers have successfully drawn the viewer in. Laurent does well in her confined setting, while Mathieu Amalric is perfectly cast as the voice of the A.I. central computer, M.I.L.O. The interaction between Elizabeth and M.I.L.O certainly reminded me of Donald Cammel's classic 1977 film, Demon Seed.

RATING - ***½

Those Who Wish Me Dead

■ (MA). 100 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

Routine and formulaic, seemingly cobbling together plot threads from every action/thriller from the late 90s-early 00s, the latest film from Taylor Sheridan is genuinely disappointing.

Hannah (Angelina Jolie) is your standard action hero, a fire jumper

relegated to menial field work after a rescue that went horribly wrong, with fatalities that continue to haunt her.

While stationed at a fire tower, Hannah encounters Connor (Finn Little), a young boy who is on the run from two assassins (Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult), who have killed his whistleblower father, and are now pursuing him , thinking the child may be carrying vital information.

Hannah must protect Connor, while also trying to avoid a forest fire which is raging through the immediate area.

Everything in the script is thin and familiar, and even Jolie's role is dull and one-dimensional.

The two assassins, supposedly among the best in the business, make some seriously illogical mistakes (reminding me of Tom Cruise's alarmingly dumb killer in Collateral).

Taylor Sheridan needs to stick to writing, as his attempts at directing (here and Yellowstone TV series) leave much to be desired, and is unbalancing his undeniable talents as a screenwriter.

His heavy-handed attempts at making this a modern western just shows what a terrific job David Mackenzie did on the Sheridanpenned Hell Or High Water (2016).

While not as bad as Firestorm (1998), this is an action film to forget.

RATING - **

Spiral : From The Book Of Saw ■ (R). 93 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

Great potential goes wanting in this awful attempt to revitalise the Saw franchise.

Chris Rock plays a grizzled detective who heads a gruesome case that appears to imitate the notorious Jigsaw murders that plagued the city.

Relevant subject matter is pushed aside to trot out the sameold-same-old. Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw 2, 3 and 4) sinks everything with his cliched, clumsy and highly outdated approach, and the twist is painfully easy to pick, but not as painful as the non-ending which sets everything up for yet another sequel.

Enough already.

■ Writer, Director John Krasinski described his sequel of A Quiet Place II in one word, “Deeper” to that of the widely acclaimed Part I when asked online from New York at the end of recent preview screening at a Melbourne Cinema.

More so in that Part II goes deeper into exploring the relationship of the Abbott family siblings to their mother following the loss of their father in Part I. All against a background of overwhelming odds following some 400 days of terror and the destruction of their home town, the Abbotts are forced to seek help and possible human life in a post-apocalyptic world.

Venturing into the unknown but soon realizing the blind alien monsters, rampant in Part I are still lurking and hunting humans by reacting to the slightest sound.

Beginning Part II, Krasinski recalls the tranquility of day 1 in Part I of the Abbott family enjoying a Little League Baseball Game watching son Marcus (Noah Jupe) about to hit out.

Only to be halted by a blaze in the sky with aliens descending and immediately causing mayhem, terror, death and destruction of the Town, leaving family patriarch Lee Abbott (John Krasinski) dead.

Some great sequences are played out and needed to be seen

before we jumped to the core of Part II, day 474 when the remaining Abbotts’ set out with mother, Evelyn (Emily Blunt) with her new born baby, deaf daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and deaf son Marcus.

There are several intertwining stories as they venture out, Evelyn leaving the safety of a disused steel furnace to find oxygen cylinder for her baby, leaving him the care of son Marcus, while determined daughter Regan has snuck out on her own to seek help.

During this time Emmett (Cillian Murphy) has survived and links up with the family and certainly endues all that the family do during the separate encounters that follow with the alien monsters.

Let’s not tell the story, but to say there are some outstanding performances by Emily Blunt determined for the sake of her children, Millicent Simmonds, living a world of silence with her lifesaving cochlear implant and deaf Noah Jupe quite exceptional as the injured Marcus.

Dare I say with Part II ending abruptly, does this mean a Part III? Devotees to Part I will not be disappointed with A Quiet Place Part II. Released nationally in selected cinemas from May 27.

‘Every Second’ counts ■ The trials and tribulation of IVF are well to the fore with award winning playwright Vanessa Bates, Every Second.

Drawing on her own experiences over 10 years of trying to conceive, she penned what is a dark comedy of two couples drawn together through their countless pregnancy tests while putting their relationships on the line.

It is a subject that has not often been a vehicle for theatre or widely discussed, however Every Second is an open and frank exposé, piece of theatre.

Wit Incorporated’s Director Emma Drysdale chose a communal lake on which to centre the couple’s encounters in what was a large open space, at times too distant and losing some of the intimacy, but that is the configuration of the Bluestone Church Arts Space with side walls seating.

The joint struggle to conceive tests the wife-husband relationship but more so stress on the wives.

Meg (Madeleine Magee Carr) gives a powerful performance throughout at times volatile, but delicately handling the simulated intercourse scenes with conviction with husband Tim ((Riley Nottingham)

Wife Jen (Lansy Feng) is more stable, undergoing acupuncture, praying to a statuette of the Virgin Mary, and seeking help with fertility symbols in the expectation she will be able to conceive. There are touching moments between Jen and Meg in their sharing of emotions. Husbands Tim and Bill run their own race with Tim (Riley Nottingham) another strong performance, while being shown to be unfaithful, and testing his intimacy with wife Meg does allow his love and empathy Meg at the end.

Bill (Richard Mealey) had some of the more lighthearted lines to deliver, with some great chemistry with wife Jen, particularly with their affirmation of love for each other so poignantly delivered.

The play can be close to the bone for those in the same predicament, but it is a story that should be shared, reminding us all of the fragility of IVF. Performance Season: Until May 29.

Early eyes on Queensland Derby

■ Some of Australia's best three-year-olds will contest the Queensland Derby this Saturday.

The Ciaron Maher-David Eustace trained youngster, Explosive Jack, is the favourite to take out the three-year-old classic over 2400 metres.

One of the best youngster's going around at moment, he has raced eight times for five wins and two minor placings.

Ridden by Irish rider, John Allen, he blitzed them in the recent South Australian Derby over this trip, and is the one to beat again.

On the second line of betting is his stablemate, Let's Karaka Deel, a good second to Explosive Jack in the SA Derby.

He too has proved his consistency, having won one of his eight starts with five seconds.

He was piloted by young Victorian jockey, Ben Allen, no relation to John, who won the Derby.

Prior to the South Australian Derby, he ran a good second to Royal Mile in the Port Adelaide Guineas.

He will be right in the firing line here, after being hampered in the run last start.

With Let's Karaka Deel on the second line, is the Chris Waller-trained, Senor Toba, who improved on his previous run by winning the Sir Frank Packer Plate over 2000 metres at Randwick on April 24.

He is by the leading sire Toronado, and going back to January 21, he won at Moonee Valley, by nearly two lengths after missing the start.

It would pay to forget his run when second up at Randwick, after being last on the turn, when eighth behind Kiku on a Heavy 9 track.

Waller likes what he sees at the moment with the grey three-year old.

One that will have no worries running the 2400 metres of the Derby is the Ciaron MaherDavid Eustace trained Through Irish Eyes, a New Zealand bred three-year-old.

He has only five starts for a win and three placings, and will have no worries with the trip.14pars.

Next is the Richard and Michael Freedman trained youngster, High Supremacy, who ran a good third behind Senor Toba and Achiever, in the Sir Frank Packer Plate at Randwick.

He is by the Cox Plate winner, Savabeel, out of the good race mare, Lady Chaparral, by High Chaparral.

He is inclined to get back in the field and finished hard over the 2000 of the Plate, and will be well suited here over 2400 metres. At the odds of about $12, he is worth a place bet.

The New Zealander, Hezashocka, trained by Emma Clotworthy, has good form, with a win at Ellersee, back on April 24, over 2100 metres.

The Matthew Cumani-trained, three-yearold Khoehoe is good on his day, and although he missed a place in the Sir Frank Packer Plate, he is much better than that, He is a winner of three of his 11 starts with three minor placings, that includes city wins.

He is not out of this and could run the place.

An interesting runner is Quiet Michael, prepared by Chris Waller, having won at Hawkesbury back on May 4, breaking through for his maiden win over 1800 metres.

I like the favourite Explosive Jack and Let's Karaka Deel, they have the runs on the board.

Sires prices up

● Explosive Jack. Racing Photos. behind Hungry Heart and Duais. Prior to that was second in the Adrian Knox Stakes at Randwick behind Duais.

By the Cox Plate winner, Ocean Park, she has had 11 starts, for two wins, and three placings, and the journey won't worry her.

Victorian Oaks winner, Personal, went around in the South Australian Derby, and got way out of her ground, finishing on, but missed the place.

Prior to that she had been most consistent for the Hayes-Dabernig combination. I feel the colts might be a bit too strong for her.

One to watch if it goes around, is the well preformed New Zealander, Daq Iansweet Junior, in the strong camp of Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, having won over 2000 and 210 metres, with two wins and a placing, in eight starts.

■ The Australian Darley operation has announced their prices for their stallions for 2021.

Heading this year's team is the champion sire and-son duo of Exceed and Excel and his world champion sprinter, Bivouac.

Following a stellar 24 months both on the racetrack, and in the sales ring, where Exceed and Excel was responsible for a career-best $2.1 million colt earning him the title of leading sire by average at last month's Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

Exceed and Excel now headlines the roster fee of $ 132,000, including GST. His electrifying triple Group One winning son, Bivouac, will stand his first season at Kelvinside at a fee of $66,000, (including GST).

Relocating to Kelvinside this season is Street Boss, standing at $55,000, (including GST), on the back of his ever-increasing demand as an elite sire of two-year-olds.

As the sire of Group One, ATC Sires' Produce winner, Anamoe, and as well as the Group One Winterbottom Stakes winner in Western Australian in Elite Street.

Street Boss is one of only four Australian stallions to sire multiple Group One winners this season.

The roster includes a new trio of shuttle stallions, made up of European juveniles in 25 years.

Pinatubo will stand at $44,000 (including GST), who joins the Kelvinside roster in New South Wales.

Northwood Park's Victorian roster received a major boost with the additions of the world's highest-ranked horse of 2020, Ghaiyyath ($27,500 including GST).
