■ Principal’s complaints fell on deaf ears...

Predator priest

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS WIELDING a gun, stealing school funds and molesting children - no allegation was strong enough to dislodge parish priest Father Peter Searson from Doveton’s Holy Family Parish and school for 13 years.

Former student Julie Stewart told a Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse on 25 November that she was preyed on by Father Searson in the privacy of the Catholic confession box soon after he arrived in 1984.

Searson was the last of a string of four accused paedophile priests over-

seeing the Doveton parish from 197297.

During 12 months, Searson’s indecency progressed from coercing her to sit on his knee, requesting her to kiss his lips, and touching her genitals, Ms Stewart told the hearing at the County Court in Melbourne.

On the final occasion in 1985, he sat her on his lap while he was aroused and whispered “you’re a good girl. The Lord forgives you”.

Ms Stewart told the hearing she ran out “sobbing and hyperventilating” to a teacher and other children waiting in confessional.

She was taken to see principal Graham Sleeman at the time and didn’t go to confession again.

Mr Sleeman told the hearing after that incident he was “convinced beyond doubt” that his boss Searson was “interfering” with boys and girls.

“On that very day that she came out, a little girl who was always open and communicative to me became a total recluse.

“That is the day that I became extremely concerned about what other children in my care were going to be damaged by this guy.”

Mr Sleeman told the hearing he

argued with Searson’s concept of reconciliation, in which he was “hellbent” on instructing each child in the privacy of the confessional.

“He was, you’d almost say, paranoid about making it happen that way.”

Mr Sleeman’s repeated complaints were met with no action from the Catholic Education Office nor senior clergy right up to Archbishop Frank Little. They kept telling him there wasn’t enough evidence.

“That’s my greatest cross that I have to bear now, that perhaps I didn’t provide enough safety for the children that were placed in my care.

“I’m saying ‘yeah there’s the evidence, this is what he’s doing. It is contrary to church teachings, it’s contrary to general conduct of a person who is involved with children’.

“They treated me like a dill.”

By that time, the principal had complaints of Searson pulling an army service revolver on boy cleaners at the school, tape-recording confessions with children, stealing $45,000 of school money for personal use and asking children to kneel between his knees.

Ablett's anger over ‘vote assassination’ CASEY councillor Geoff Ablett has slammed the “faceless people” who he claimed tried to derail his state election campaign after he was officially cleared this week of misconduct over allegedly corrupt Liberal Party donations.

Cr Ablett and fellow Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon were cleared on Wednesday when the Victorian Ombudsman released her report, finding the allegations could not be substantiated.

But Ombudsman Deborah Glass has still urged tighter restrictions on political donations, warning that otherwise “a perception that politicians can be bought” could continue.

Crs Ablett and Stapledon - who stood as Liberal candidates in last year’s state election - always denied wrong-doing after being in-

terviewed as part of the state Ombudsman’s probe into donations and council planning decisions, which was first reported in The Australian last November.

Key allegations included that the councillors accepted donations from property developers in return for favourable council planning decisions.

Cr Ablett told Star News that Ms Glass’s findings were a “great, just outcome” for an “innocent person”.

“Right over the 12 months I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong,” he said.

“It’s disappointing to have faceless people do that to you.

“It was quite a shock to me and it did have an effect on me and my family.

“You think what types of people are doing this?”

Cr Ablett said the allegations

had been detrimental to his election campaign, claiming there was “a political agenda” to “destroy my reputation”.

Ahead of the election Cr Ablett only needed a 1.1 per cent swing to win the Cranbourne seat from Labor MP Jude Perera, but suffered a small swing against him.

“I’m extremely disappointed that it affected the perception of me four weeks out from the election,” he said.

“It was well orchestrated to character assassinate me so people wouldn’t vote for me.”

The Ombudsman’s findings also discuss allegations made against fellow Casey councillors Sam Aziz, now mayor, and Damian Rosario, who both did not run in the state election.

Ms Glass recommended restrictions be put in place on donations

made to candidates and political parties by property developers while also recommending that all donations to a candidate or political party should be required to be published on a publicly available register within 30 days of the relevant election.

“There can be little doubt that the lack of transparency in political donations and the lack of limitations on who can make those donations in Victoria creates an environment in which allegations of improper conduct can flourish,” she said.

“Whether they are substantiated or not, whether such allegations are legitimately made or are made for political mischief-making as is often claimed, is not the point.

“Ultimately, they create a perception that politicians can be bought, which reduces public trust in government.”

Cr Stapledon declined to comment at this time.

More lanes mooted for Monash Freeway

Premier Daniel Andrews joined Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley and Roads Minister Luke Donnellan on Sunday to announce plans to widen the Monash Freeway. to be announced by the end of the year.”

With the freeway construction to

start the same year as the previously announced Pakenham rail corridor upgrade - 2017 - concerns have been raised about traffic congestion.

Mr Donnellan admitted there would be “some disruptions and inconvenience to residents during the construction phase” but added the government would “manage the disruption as best we can to minimise any inconvenience”.

The man had left the Empire Nightclub on the Princes Highway about 3.10am on Sunday 22 November and was walking to the nearby McDonald’s when he was approached by three other men, also believed to have just left the club.

The group, all described as Islander in appearance, demanded the victim’s wallet and mobile phone and then one of them hit him in the leg with a stick.

The victim handed over money and the attackers fled.

EXTRA lanes will be added to the Monash Freeway in Melbourne’s outer south-east, with plans for a $400 million upgrade to the major arterial unveiled by the State Government last week.

Under the proposal, the freeway will be widened to five lanes running each way between EastLink and the South Gippsland Highway, and three lanes each way further out to Clyde Road.

Premier Daniel Andrews joined Roads Minister Luke Donnellan and Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley on Sunday morning in Hallam to announce the project, which is expected to go to tender in mid2016, with construction slated to begin in 2017, and expected to be finished the following year.

Roads Minister Luke Donnellan confirmed Labor would look to “partner” with the Federal Government to fund the upgrade, with some media outlets reporting they were looking for the Commonwealth to chip in as much as half of the estimated cost.

But Mr Donnellan wouldn’t specify how much would be sought from his Federal counterparts.

In October it was reported how the Turnbull Government was believed to have agreed to unlock the $1.5 billion East West Link money allocated to the State Government, provided it will be used on projects like the Monash Freeway.

“This is a $400 million upgrade and we’ll be looking to partner with the Commonwealth on this and many other major projects across Victoria,” Mr Donnellan said on Monday.

“The government will proceed with the Monash Upgrade regardless of the outcome of the marketled proposal, which is expected

From page 1 One of his class teachers was refusing to take her pupils to Searson’s reconciliation confessionals because of the allegations.

“I challenged them on the fact of ‘would you guys believe a video recording that I brought to you?’ And they didn’t respond.

“So I said ‘hey you wouldn’t even believe that, would you? Because it would create scandal for you guys, that you couldn’t handle’.”

Mr Sleeman threatened to resign in 1986, but was still told by the Catholic Education Office that Searson would remain at Doveton for the foreseeable future.

Mr Sleeman was warned he might not get another job if he resigned. And that’s the way it played out as he unsuccessfully applied for Catholic school principal vacancies over the next 10 years.

“What compounds this whole sorry story is the fact of the authority and the standing and the power. That the people in Doveton, or a good percentage of the people in Doveton, would have seen that the parish priest is someone who is beyond reproach.

“I believed, and I am convinced now, that the Melbourne Archdiocese had no concern for the parisioners of Holy Family School Doveton and what priests they sent to them.”

Ms Stewart told the hearing that no senior clergy or representatives from the Catholic Education Office spoke to her about the incident until 1997.

In that year, she was interviewed by Peter O’Callaghan QC, appointed as an independent commissioner by then Archbishop George Pell to examine child sexual abuse allegations within the Church.

That year, she was seated facing Fr Season and cross-examined by his lawyer in a “hostile” way during a hearing presided over by Mr O’Callaghan.

After the hearing, she signed a confidentiality statement in the next room. She later received a $25,000 from the archdiocese and a letter of apology from Archbishop Pell.

At the time, Searson was finally removed as priest, put on administrative leave and charged with unlawful assault after a complaint of him hitting an altar boy.

He was released without conviction on a good behaviour bond.

He died in 2009.

They're wolfing down the big bad kebabs

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A NEW frontier of kebabs has emerged in one of Noble Park’s budding foodie shopping strips.

Little Bad Wolf has a sassy carnivorous logo, sharp contemporary interior and website, and an adventurous menu.

The flair is especially astonishing for its location on humble retro Railway Parade which houses a quality butcher, deli and eateries.

Husband-and-wife owners Osman and Suzie Berk have used their respective architect and fashion designer backgrounds to reinvigorate the old home of Yarraman Kebabs.

It’s a bold, new venture for the couple.

“My husband always wanted something to do with food,” Suzie said.

“None of us had experience in the hospitality industry but you learn quickly.”

They gutted the place, retaining nothing but the slowly rotating kebab racks.

It’s staffed by up to six family members - one who crafts particularly popular, home-cooked baklava sweets.

At the heart of the shop’s invention is the food and an evolving menu that experiments with flavour.

The offerings of marinated lamb, chicken and asana kebabs and cevapi sausages, as well as a

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL wide range of dips and salads, combines the couple’s Turkish and Macedonian heritage.

There are some new takes on the asana kebab - a lamb, chilli, capsicum mince moulded around a flat skewer and slowly cooked over charcoals.

At the wolf’s den, they serve it with a pleasing burst of flavour such as sour cherries and goat feta.

Another eye-popping asana topping is gherkin, American mustard, beetroot relish, lettuce and onions.

For those with traditional taste, the kebabs can also be served with pitta bread or dashed with a simple onion, tomato salad.

Suzie said that more boundary-pushing flavours are on the way to attract a younger, adventurous diner.

“We’re trying to keep the traditional food as a base and then work it with different flavours.

“People are doing grand things with fruits,

Crestani reclaims role

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY councillor Rosalie Crestani was again the MC at Sunday’s Reclaim Australia rally in Melton, which saw several people arrested among the 1000-odd rival demonstrators, including one man who punched a horse.

It’s the second time Cr Crestani has been the master of ceremonies at a Reclaim Australia event, having hosted the group’s previous rally in Melbourne’s CBD in July.

About 500 people from the self-described patriot group Reclaim Australia attended the Melton Civic Centre on Sunday afternoon, along with a similar number of rival anti-racism protesters.

Roughly 500 police officers also turned up to monitor the event, which turned ugly when several scuffles broke out between Reclaim members and activists from the group No Room for Racism.

Cr Crestani, who is also the deputy

leader of Danny Nalliah’s Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP), said the fights occurred away from her and commended the police presence. “The scuffles were occurring way over out of my view,� she said. “It was very difficult to see ... I always feel safe at rallies because they (police) are good at keeping us separate. “I’ve never felt unsafe.�

Cr Crestani said she was a member of Reclaim Australia and not a member of the far-right group United Patriots Act, whose members also attended Sunday’s rally, but she said the UPF had a “pure motive�. “We can all criticise different parts of their approach ... but they have a pure motive,� she said. “It doesn’t come across as pleasant to some, sometimes it’s a cold-hard truth. “It’s something we have to be careful of but I meet many of these men and wom-

en and they have Australia’s best interests at heart.�

After Sunday’s rally, Hunters and Collectors front man Mark Seymour became the next musician to condemn the use of his music by Reclaim.

Mr Seymour labelled Reclaim Australia a “racist organisation� on Facebook after learning the group used his band’s classic track Holy Grail at the Melton rally.

The National Anthem was sung at the Reclaim rally by member Jonathan Willy Eli, who ran as an RUAP candidate in the seat of Cranbourne in last year’s state election.

Cr Crestani said Mr Eli’s son attends Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School, which made national headlines last month after Islamic students were given the choice of leaving the school’s Year 2-6 assembly before singing Advance Australia Fair.

Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School

principal Cheryl Irving had previously said the decision was made in adherence to Muharram - the Islamic month of mourning associated with Shi’a Muslims in which they do not participate in “joyful events�.

South Eastern Metropolitan state Greens MP Nina Springle slammed Cr Crestani earlier this year after she was MC at the previous Reclaim rally.

Ms Springle said Cr Crestani should be “condemned� for participating in the rally, which later saw the two women meet for lunch to discuss the issue. “Given the great contribution that generations of migrants have made to Australia, it is sad that Cr Crestani saw fit to participate in this way,� Ms Springle said at the time. “Her participation must be condemned in the strongest terms. “Fear and misunderstanding are the enemies of Australia’s peaceful, harmonious and multicultural way of life.�

Bunjil Place project is officially off the ground

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE first stage of the City of Casey’s new council chambers was kicked off, with Brookfield Multiplex Constructions Pty. Ltd chosen to bring the $125 million project to life.

With a proven track record and a resume reading Federation Square, Royal Melbourne Showgrounds and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, “Brookfield Multiplex was the standout team� for the job, Mayor Sam Aziz said.

On Monday 23 November the construction giant met with Casey council to formalise the agreement. “Today officially marks the begin-

ning of the construction process for Bunjil Place. This is an exciting day for the City of Casey and a significant milestone in the project’s timeline,� Cr Aziz said.

The build which will be ongoing for the next two years will be the only regional community facility of its kind, and Brookfield Multiplex managing director Graham Cottam said his team was thrilled to take on a “one-of-a-kind project�. “Brookfield has industry-leading, internationally accredited systems and processes, and we are ready and excited to hit the ground running and work with the council and Casey community to deliver Bunjil Place by late 2017,� Mr Cottam said.

A proud council, Brookfield Multiplex regional director Ross Snowball with Brookfield Multiplex managing director Graham Cottam, Casey Mayor Sam Aziz, Casey executive officer Mike Tyler and Councillors Damien Rosario, Mick Morland, Wayne Smith, Louise Berkelmans, Rafal Kaplon and Amanda Stapledon.

Hunt for school smash group THE assistant principal of an Endeavour Hills high school where 39 windows were smashed last month said the damage was a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Police are searching for three men who went on a rampage at Gleneagles Secondary College, about 10.30pm on Wednesday 14 October, smashing 39 windows and leaving the school with a $13,500 damage bill.

The men were all wearing hoodies and scarves when they smashed up the Reema Boulevard school, with one of them allegedly seen hitting one of the windows with a hammer.

The windows have since been repaired.

Assistant principal Kathie Toth said everyone at the school had been “disappointed� by the incident, noting the money could’ve been better spent on other things for the school. “It was significant damage, and its taxpayers’ money being wasted,� she said.

A SEA of white ribbons bearing heartfelt messages spread across the lawn at Harmony Square on Tuesday.

It was the end point for City of Greater Dandenong’s third annual Walk Against Family Violence, which started at The Kitchen and made its way down Lonsdale Street on 24 November.

Walkers wrote messages ranging from, “I pledge to take a stand” to “I survived despite the lies” and planted their ribbon on a larger white ribbon.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Heang Tak said there were 2123 family violence incidents reported in the municipality last year.

“To live in a world where our families and communities are free and safe from violence, we must treat all individuals - women, men, girls and boys - with dignity, equality and respect.”

He said the hundreds of people gathered in the square,

many wearing black T-shirts bearing White Ribbon slogans, was a sight he would not soon forget.

Paroa from Dandenong North was close to tears as he explained to the Journal that family violence was an issue for Pacific communities.

“It’s been a part of the culture to the point where it’s acceptable,” he said.

“Too many people - especially kids - have died because of domestic violence.

“As I was growing up, it was acceptable to have one child in the family who loses their life over domestic violence.”

He said only recently people had started to speak out about it.

“It hurts that much speaking about it,” he said.

“I’ve had a few friends who’ve lost their lives to domestic violence. I stress the word ‘few’. Not just one.

“The important thing is the education that this march provides.”

SPEAK OUT... CHALLENGE FAMILY VIOLENCE

Victims face wait for help

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FAMILY violence incidents are being “triaged“ by frustrated Casey police due to a lack of divisional van patrols, claim police officers.

A Casey-based police member in the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court witness box this month said his divisional van was delayed during a family violence callout on a weekday mid-afternoon.

This was due to the divvy being the only one available in the municipality at the time, which, he added, was often the case.

Police Association Victoria spokesman Sergeant Wayne Gatt said such a situation was “not atypical” due to increasing workloads and diminishing frontline resources at police stations.

“There’s circumstances that can occur quite easily where you have three or four divisional vans tied up and only have one available for new jobs.

“There’s no fat in the resources.”

Family violence callouts, although a high priority for police, were being “triaged” and forced back in a queue of jobs, Sgt Gatt said.

“It’s a growing trend where members of the public have to wait.”

Sgt Gatt said he had received calls from Casey police officers in “frustration and despair”; they had “little respite” from back-to-back night and weekend shifts.

Funding for frontline policing’s divisional vans and watchhouse crews was “less than ever before”, he said.

It was being diverted into taskforces such as the family violence unit.

The unit was a “great, commendable initiative” focused on recidivist offenders but a divisional van was still needed for frontline domestic violence, Sgt Gatt said.

“The rationale is taskforce policing reduces the workload for frontline divisions.

“That’s sometimes the case, but there will always be a call for a divisional van to attend crime scenes and accident scenes.

“This is increasing and not being resolved by taskforce policing.”

A teenage family violence victim in Casey-Cardinia told Star News Group she and her grandmother waited for police

for an hour while sheltering from her enraged, ice-addicted boyfriend in October.

As they waited, the man screamed threats from outside the house, smashed five windows and sent messages that he’d kill the pair.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said there was “never just one divisional van patrol rostered on in Casey”.

“The number of divisional van patrols rostered on is dependent on need and is increased during peak times.”

She said general-duties police were also supported by divisional vans from surrounding areas, and specialist units such as the Critical Incident Response Team, family violence and highway patrol teams.

“The Casey community does, and will continue to, receive a 24-hour police response from resources across the Police Service Area (PSA).

“We are keen to build a greater level of flexibility in our rostering and deployment models, so if a high level of service demand is needed - for example, to respond to a spike in crime rates in a certain area - then we have the flexibility to move our police around.”

Career on the front line

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A FORTNIGHT ago Phil Byrne stood during the Remembrance Day service in Narre Warren North and paid his silent respects to the fallen and those still serving.

The senior sergeant at the Endeavour Hills police station has seen first-hand the sacrifice made

by Australian soldiers.

In 2000 Senior Sergeant Byrne spent eight months in East Timor as a military liaison officer when Indonesia withdrew from the country.

The 50-year-old was one of only a small number of Victorian coppers chosen to work there, with the Australian Government recruiting about 30 policemen from each state.

When Indonesia withdrew from Timor, Sen Sgt Byrne said they took everything with them, including infrastructure and police officers.

“It was a pretty violent place, because there were a lot of militias still operating within East Timor that were sympathetic to Indonesia that I don’t think really wanted to pull out,” he told Star News.

“So the United Nations actually stepped in... and as a result they needed a police force in place during the transition.

“The federal police couldn’t deal with the numbers required to go over there so they asked the various state government police forces to contribute.”

While his service in East Timor qualified Sen Sgt Byrne for the Anzac March, the copper said his work paled in comparison to those Australian soldiers heavily involved in conflict.

“I got first-hand experience of what Australian and New Zealand soldiers were doing overseas and how dangerous it really was for them,” he said.

That’s not to say Sen Sgt Byrne wasn’t involved in his own “hairy situations” while in East Timor.

Working as a liaison officer he spent a lot of time with the military overseeing border checkpoints, as displaced East Timorese residents returned to their country.

On his second last day there Sen Sgt Byrne

Senior Sergeant Phil Byrne. 147056 found himself on one side of a dirt track in the “middle of nowhere” - the border - without Australian army support, while the Indonesian army stood on the other side.

Gum trees near the track reminded the cop of home.

“My interpreter, who traditionally didn’t like the Indonesians, had an exchange in their own language with them and one of the Indonesian military had a very old lady standing next to him and hit her in the head with the butt of his rifle, on their side of the border,” he said.

“My interpreter went nuts, verbally, and all the Indonesian military raised their rifles at us and I’ll never forget - I was with a 20-year-old young

Picture: ROB CAREW Federal policeman from Canberra and I looked at him and said it’s our second last day and we’re gonna die here.”

After a four minute stand-off with guns raised on both sides, only the eventual presence of a military helicopter saw everyone lower their weapons.

Despite the drama, Sen Sgt Byrne’s involvement in East Timor is one of the highlights in a career that will reach 25 years in March.

It’s one that has seen him work stations in Fitzroy, the CBD, Mount Waverley and now Endeavour Hills, which have all had their own challenges - some bigger than others.

It’s a little over a year since the tragic death of

Numan Haider. The 18-year-old was fatally shot outside the Endeavour Hills police station after attacking two police officers.

But the head of the station draws on a steely resolve when dealing with his work.

“I love this station,” Sen Sgt Byrne said.

“I’d like to think we’re like a family, especially considering what’s happened here over the last 18 months with the incident out the front, it’s sort of gelled us.

“And that’s been my focus, we’ve got to ensure the community is safe but part of my job is to ensure my staff are healthy too.

“And I think to date I haven’t done too badly.”

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… JUST one gift would be a meaningful Christmas gesture for each of Jesuran Wellness Centre’s 50 asylum-seeker clients, says the centre’s pastor Hilda pictured with Samuel Pastor Paul Panir Selvam.

To make this happen, the centre needs donations of saris, shirts or non-perishable Christmas fare such as tea, cake, puddings and bonbons for hampers, Ms Samuel said.

Cash is even better to buy suitable-sized clothes and toys for about 20 children.

The centre’s basic, free services for new arrivals, such as job help and training, lunches, library and a social hub, is also reliant on private funding.

It doesn’t take a cent of government funds.

THE City of Casey has joined the world’s largest treasure hunt.

With 2 million geocaches worldwide, Casey Fields was one of Victoria’s main destinations this month.

The Melbourne Adventure was launched in Casey on Sunday 15 November and councillor Geoff Ablett said the digital orienteering is a fantastic and innovative addition to the municipality.

“More than 1000 people visited Casey Fields to get involved in what is sure to be the largest geocaching event held in the southern hemisphere,” Cr Ablett said.

Participants on the day had the opportunity to engage in canoeing, kayaking and tree climbing all while navigating using their mobile GPS.

Anyone who can help is asked to donate cash or deliver goods to Jesuran Wellness Centre at Herbert Street, Dandenong from Tuesday to Sunday.

AN accused got off to a shaky start to his case at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 23 November.

As he fronted the bar table, he greeted the magistrate with a brightly colloquial “How you going?”

The judge snapped: “Are you talking to me?”

The accused paused, then stammered: “I’ve got someone who can speak for me.”

He then passed on his advocacy to his support worker sitting behind him.

SEVEN years driving with an expired Jordani international licence has finally caught up with a woman in her 50s. The woman became entrapped in a Dandenong Plaza roundabout after she entered it in the wrong direction.

She then reversed at speed about 15 metres into a vehicle behind her, then fled the scene in her car without exchanging details.

“There were significant language barriers,” the woman’s lawyer explained to a court.

“On what lawful basis did she believe she was entitled to drive the vehicle?” the judge asked the lawyer.

He placed the woman on a 12-month good behaviour bond on condition she wrote an apology letter to the victim and donated $250 to the court’s charitable fund.

Call to answer prayers

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY council will call on the State Government to reverse its decision to scrap special religious instruction from the Victorian school curriculum.

This month, the council resolved to write to Education Minister James Merlino and Multicultural Affairs Minister Robin Scott to urge them to reverse the decision after councillor Amanda Stapledon presented a joint letter signed by six residents in support of the religious study.

Earlier this year the Andrews govern-

to be “respected”.

“I think something as important as faith is something intrinsic to who we are,” Cr Stapledon said.

“It’s important to be in a place where it can be managed well and gives our wonderful diverse multicultural community an option to learn about their faith.”

Cr Kaplon was the only councillor to oppose the motion but has since changed his mind citing a “misunderstanding”.

He told Star News that he originally opposed the motion because he thought

ment ordered that the weekly 30-minute program move to lunchtime and before and after school in 2016 to accommodate new content on world histories, cultures, faiths and ethics.

Cr Stapledon urged the City of Casey to add its voice to a 9154-signature petition which was presented to Shadow Education Minister Nick Wakeling on 12 November calling on SRI to stay in the curriculum.

The Mayfield Ward councillor said the “religious identity of all students” needed

that SRI would have to be funded by the government, but Cr Kaplon said he was later told this was not the case.

It’s understood funding for SRI would come from organisations such as ACCESS Ministries, which provides SRI, chaplaincy and wellbeing services in Victorian schools, in partnership with Christian churches.

ACCESS Ministries spokesman Rob Ward, also a Casey resident, was in the council chamber when Cr Stapledon raised her motion.

Exchange of cultures is hitting the headlines M U LT I C U LT U R A L Commissioner Helen Kapalos was a welcome guest to the City of Casey this month.

The newly appointed chairperson of the Victorian Multicultural Commission and former newsreader was the guest speaker at a special community forum convened by Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley, where residents from a variety of different cultures were given the opportunity to discuss a range of issues.

Ms Graley said the community was thrilled at the chance to meet and chat with Helen.

“Our wonderfully diverse and growing local community faces many unique challenges and it is so very important that we all work together to ad-

dress them,” she said.

“I am very pleased that so many people from so many backgrounds got to meet the new chairperson of the Victorian Multicultural Commission right here in Casey.

“Ms Kapalos took a real interest in what people were saying, displaying such genuine compassion and warmth as she took the time to meet and hear from everyone.

“We had a fantastic discussion about the issues facing our community and I know that we will all continue to work together to make our community great.”

CCTV footage of the males police wish to speak to.

Assault TV hunt for two men POLICE have released images of two men they believe will be able to help them in their investigations over an assault outside a Dandenong shopping centre.

In the assault, two male offenders demanded the victim’s wallet then stole a credit card and assaulted the victim before proceeding to use the card at a fast food outlet on 31 July.

The two men are believed to frequent Narre Warren shopping centres and train stations and are described as Middle Eastern or Pacific Islander appearance aged 17 to 19.

One man is described as overweight with tattoos on both arms and the other is about 180cm tall with a thin build and short dark hair.

DANDENONG Market’s produce has impressed MasterChef’s The Spice Man. Jamie Ward, a contestant from the television show’s 2015 season, is jumping into The Kitchen to share recipes with shoppers.

“The first time I went there I was blown away. I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere else in Melbourne that had such a range of spices,” he said.

“It’s got such an array of different produce and the prices are ridiculously cheap.

“It’s filled with super friendly people as well.”

Mr Ward hosted his first Dandenong Market live cooking demonstration on Sunday 22 November.

He whipped up potato and lamb croquettes, spiced carrots and yoghurt sauce, and potato skin crisps with herbed salt and carrot head pesto.

“I’m trying to mix it up and keep it pretty simple,” he said.

“I want to showcase basic ingredients, your staple ingredients.

“I want to show different ways to use them, and every bit of them.”

Mr Ward was born in England and raised in Tasmania, but his Sri Lankan heritage has most influenced his cooking style.

“I just like to experiment with different spices,” he said.

“It’s not all about making food hot.

“It’s about taking ordinary

Jamie Ward in The Kitchen at Dandenong Market. 147238 Picture: ROB CAREW food and giving it a new dimension.”

He said coriander and cumin were the two spice staples for every pantry, followed by fennel seeds, mustard seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, cardamom and cloves.

On Sunday 6 December, he’ll present a beginner’s guide to all things chicken, including how to break down the bird into pieces.

He’ll make chicken stock that doesn’t take up too much freezer space and pulled chicken tostadas with chipotle mayonnaise and spicy tomato salsa.

He’ll make a Christmas turkey dish on Sunday 20 December, with sage, date and walnut

stuffing, Moorish turkey gravy, and honey, nutmeg and caraway seed roast carrots.

“That will be with rolled turkey breast. It’s still turkey but I’m going to show that you don’t have to just roast the whole bird,” he said.

Back to work will be the focus on Sunday 10 January, with Jamie’s top sandwiches.

City of Greater Dandenong built and funded The Kitchen through a Federal Government Healthy Communities Initiative (HCI) grant.

Professional chefs demonstrate produce, techniques and budget-conscious ideas for healthy food preparation.

Police refuse to play

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD VICTORIA Police will not be drawn into pursuits by youths who steal cars from homes and try to “lure” officers into chasing them, a senior officer made clear this week.

Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill addressed reporters on Tuesday in relation to the spate of car thefts occurring throughout the state, with new figures putting Victoria ahead of New South Wales for the first time in the total number of car thefts.

The National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council statistics showed Victoria had a 5.6 per cent increase in the year to October, up to 14,381 from 13,620.

For many months Star News has reported on a disturbing series of home burglaries in Casey in which thieves break into houses, often through unlocked doors, steal keys and use them to make off with the

occupants’ cars. Changes made to policy earlier this year mean police can no longer pursue criminals on the road unless they are suspected of a crime involving serious injury, present an immediate danger to the public, or if no other means of arrest is available.

“They’re stealing these motor cars to bait police, to lure them in, or attempt to lure them into engaging in a police pursuit,” Asst Comm Robert Hill said.

“And Victoria Police is very firm in its position where we’re not going to engage in that unsafe police practice, of engaging a motor car that is stolen for instance in these circumstances, driven by a 15-year-old.

“A 15-year-old that’s inexperienced behind the wheel, a 15-yearold that is often drug affected.”

The assistant commissioner’s comments come after a stolen car was involved earlier this month in a

fatal hit and run which claimed the life of a 47-year-old Carrum Downs mother.

An Endeavour Hills teenager linked to the incident was arrested last Thursday.

He was charged with armed robbery and assault related offences.

It’s believed the 18-year-old used the allegedly stolen BMW X5 during an armed robbery in Frankston three days before the car was involved in a crash in Mordialloc on Monday 9 November, after which victim Amanda Matheson died in hospital.

A 15-year-old teen was also remanded in custody last week in relation to the hit-and-run and will appear at a children’s court on Thursday 26 November.

It’s believed the 18-year-old from Endeavour Hills allegedly pulled out a gun when he stole a Ford XR6 from Bartlett Street in Frankston

South on Friday 6 November about 2.40am. He was arrested by Special Operations Group officers at a house in Gweno Avenue, Frankston, about 10.30am on Thursday 19 November.

The 18-year-old was charged by the Frankston Embona Armed Robbery Task Force.

“These people are brazen, these people have no regard for authority, no regard for law and order, no regard for their safety and the safety of the broader community,” Asst Comm Hill said.

“They’re stealing these motor cars predominantly to commit other crimes, and crimes of violence - car jackings, armed robberies, aggravated burglaries, commercial burglaries.”

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Car thieves set their hearts on Nissans

Circulation – 16,140* Readership – 25,824* Delivered FREE every Monday to Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Doveton.

Total Distribution area of the Dandenong Journal and Journal News: Dandenong, Dandenong North, Doveton, Endeavour Hills, Hallam, Keys Estate, Keysborough, Noble Park, Springvale & Springvale South.

THE Casey Criminal Investigations Unit has confirmed that Nissans are the flavour of the month after a spate of Pulsars and Skylines theft for spare parts and joy rides.

Three Nissan Pulsars have been stolen from residential addresses in Endeavour Hills and Doveton throughout November, and First Constable Alanna Goldsack said in each incident the cars had been forced open.

“The Pulsars are being recovered within a week of being reported stolen - it seems to be a trend in the area,” Const Goldsack said.

GRAND OPENING

“The offenders are experienced, and in each case the ignition port has been damaged.”

Const Goldsack said the Pulsars were stolen from driveways in

Sale

Panamax†

residential streets, and the thieves seemed to be gaining entry through the door with a “coat hanger” or similar technique.

“In each report, the cars have been locked and no windows have been smashed,” she said.

“It seems the offenders are releasing the break, putting the car in neutral and rolling away before starting the car down the street.”

Const Goldsack suggests making sure all valuables left inside cars are out of sight to prevent break-ins.

“Sensor lights around the driveway are a good deterrence as well as cameras and any type of security

that is visible,” she said.

Nissan Skylines have been the other desirable choice with three 1988 and 1999 Skyline models stolen within a week.

Detective Senior Constable Ange Butler said one Skyline had since been recovered but she believed the models were being targeted for spare parts.

“The Skyline was recovered in Doveton on Friday 20,” Det Sen Const Butler said.

The spate of Skyline thefts has been from residential addresses in Doveton, Narre Warren and Eumemmerring.

NEW HOMES & LAND

AFFORDABLE WATERFRONT LIFESTYLE Phillip Island’s Woolamai House is proving popular with buyers with over 60 per cent of stage one in the premium land development now sold and construction of the project is well underway.

Some 28 lots have been snapped up across the beachfront community, with the remaining lots expected to be popular among buyers with the final release of lots coming soon with the launch of stage two in January.

At Woolamai House, buyers can secure the same luxury lifestyle as the likes of Portsea, Sorrento and Torquay for just a fraction of the cost, with land starting from as little as $225,000, located along the pristine beaches of Cape Woolamai.

With a tiny Portsea beach box fetching a record $615,000 just last month, Woolamai House’s unique beachfront location and stunning homestead surrounds are fast earning it the title of one of Victoria’s hidden coastal hotspots.

With the construction of stage two, scheduled for completion by Christmas, Woolamai House is gearing up for the public launch of the last 22 lots from January next year in order to keep up with demand from both holiday-makers and permanent coastal residents alike.

Greg Price, sales agent for Woolamai House, said the major affordability factor combined with a million dollar waterfront lifestyle had struck a chord with buyers.

“We’ve had strong sales in stage one, and with the water right on your doorstep and expansive grounds surrounding Woolamai House, we’re expecting the final release of lots to be going out the door,” he said.

“We are seeing a trend developing at Woolamai House with established home buyers and a 50/50 ratio of permanent

residents and holiday-makers with the view to settle as end-users over a five-to-10 year period.

“Projects of this calibre and pricing are rare and it’s a huge drawcard to see premium land selling at such an affordable cost literally a stone’s throw from the sand.

“Phillip Island is immensely undervalued in terms of price point, location and quality - buyers are now seeing the huge potential in Cape Woolamai and its unrivalled lifestyle options on offer,” Mr Price said.

Zoran Pavlovic, development manager for Woolamai House, said the highly anticipated release of stage two was right

on schedule.

“We are eagerly looking forward to the completion of stage two and expect a healthy sales surge for the next 22 lots,” he said.

“We’ve fast-tracked our construction timeline which will essentially see buyers moving into their ultimate dream-home sooner rather than later,” Mr Pavlovic said.

Set within the grounds of one of Phillip Island’s first homesteads, Woolamai House is a unique 68-lot development featuring an original property constructed in 1867 by legendary Melbourne Cup horse trainer, Captain John Cleeland.

The original homestead has been restored

with the utmost care by the Grollo family with an expansive 1.6 hectares dedicated to open tree-lined spaces to remain on site.

The Woolamai House project will eventually have a collection of quality beachside homes. Only a handful of stunning beachfront allotments remain at this prestigious coastal development.

Lots range from 504 square metres to 930 square metres starting from $225,000.

Woolamai House is on Grofam Court, Cape Woolamai www.woolamaihouse.com.au For more information please contact Greg Price at Alex Scott on 5952 5711.

REGIONS SEE STRONG GROWTH It’s been a big year for the property market across the state with strong growth in sales activity in many areas of regional Victoria in the year to 30 September.

Total sales in regional Victoria increased 15 per cent over the year to 23,200 transactions, up from just over 20,200 sales for the same period last year.

The Surf Coast Shire in the state’s south-west recorded the highest increase in sales over the previous year, up more than 40 per cent to 482 sales.

This was followed by the predominately rural municipality of Baw Baw where sales volumes rose by more than 30 per cent

seen in the City of Ballarat where more than 1700 homes were sold over the year.

Sales volumes also rose in the City of Greater Bendigo, up 4.6 per cent over the same period last year to 1227 sales.

And, while auction activity is highly publicised in Melbourne, private sale remains the most popular way to sell a home in Victoria.

This is particularly the case in three regional centres - Ocean Grove, Mildura and Wodonga where private sales were the preferred method of marketing homes for sale.

In the year to 30 September, more than nine out of 10 homes in

to 746 sales.

This was up from 571 sales in the previous year.

Other municipalities recording significant increases in turnover include the City of La Trobe, up 20 per cent to 893 sales; Macedon Ranges, up 18.9 per cent to 585 sales; and Wellington Shire, up 18.3 per cent to 585 sales.

The City of Greater Geelong had regional Victoria’s highest turnover in the 12 months to 30 September, with almost 2700 sales.

This was up 11.4 per cent on the same period last year when there were 2400 sales.

High transaction levels were also

these locations were sold by private sale, rather than auction.

Of the 290 homes that sold in Ocean Grove over the year, almost 94 per cent of them were sold by private sale.

Mildura in the state’s north-west was also dominated by private sales with 526 homes, or 94 per cent, sold privately.

Over the same period only 53 auctions were held in the town.

Wodonga was another strong private sale performer with 92 per cent of the 239 homes sold over the year to 30 September being by private sale.

Family life takes a hit

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH IN THE first year Mick Morland was Mayor of Casey he had three meals at home with his family and has made sure his successor Cr Sam Aziz puts work-life balance at the forefront of his term as mayor.

“When you’re the mayor, the community always comes first, before your family,” Cr Morland said.

“Being mayor is a commitment your family takes on as well because if there’s a council function and a family barbecue on the same day my job as mayor would always come first.

“They don’t want Mick Morland they want the Mayor of Casey and if you got the job, you do the job despite your grandchild’s first birthday.”

After reminiscing on his two terms as mayor, Cr Morland said he wouldn’t rule out going for the top spot again.

“It’s a great honour for any one individual because you’re the city’s number one citizen and you

have the opportunity to make people feel special,” he said.

“But my advice to current mayor Cr Sam Aziz would be to take his young children with him to weekend events as much as possible.

“Because all of a sudden they will be grown up and I remember coming home after work (during his first term as mayor) and my sons said ‘welcome home dad’ and I said ‘I haven’t been anywhere’ they said ‘you weren’t here for us’.

“And that makes you feel terrible because you were there for the community but not there for your family, but when you take on the role as mayor you are printed on the program - you have to turn up,” he said.

Stressing his point in a recent council meeting, Cr Morland hopes Cr Aziz can balance his term as mayor with family life.

“Work-life balance is the biggest issue when you are mayor because often there are three events on the same night as well as weekends,” he said.

Casey councillor Mick Morland has offered some advice for new mayor Cr Sam Aziz. 146711 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Council makes a quick response to ward grants CASEY council has replaced its Ward Grant program with a new process to ensure it is in line with amendments to the Local Government Act. The council will now abide by the new Quick Response Grant policy after the Local Government Amendment (Improved Governance) Bill 2015 was passed by Parliament in October, which sees a number

of changes to the Local Government Act including abolishing councillor discretionary funds.

Edrington Ward councillor Susan Serey, who moved the motion, said the current Councillor Ward Grant policy would not be compliant under next year’s bill and the council has now resolved to adopt the new process.

“Although it’s not yet in operation, the council is quickly

responding to the new legislation in recognition of good governance,” Cr Serey said.

Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the Quick Response Grant program would allow the council to continue to provide “efficient funding opportunities” for community groups who need financial assistance in a “short time frame”.

“The Quick Response Grant

program will provide responses to applicants within three business days and will support community groups, sporting clubs and schools to provide services for the benefit of the Casey community,” he said.

The new grants program includes the same eligibility criteria as the previous policy.

The grants are designed for community groups, local organ-

isations, schools, sporting clubs and associations that service Casey and are facing unexpected expenses, trialling a new program or activity, or which don’t meet the criteria of other council grant programs.

Applicants will be required to submit an application online at www.casey.vic.gov.au/fundingandgrants.

Berwick Berwick South Cranbourne

Have your say on the future THE City of Casey is big and only getting bigger so residents are being invited to have their say on where future infrastructure funds should be spent.

Throughout November and December the council will hold Building our Future community consultations which will centre on the council’s five year capital works program.

Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the council was responding to a range of unprecedented challenges including population growth and next year’s rate capping.

“Casey is big and is growing fast with the city expected to be home to 490,000 residents by 2041.

“It is forecast that over 10 years, the impact of rate capping on Casey will be $150 million.

“That’s $150 million less council will have to deliver local parks, family and children’s centres and sporting facilities as residents move in,” Cr Aziz said.

The future projects up for discussion include the Autumn Place Family and Community Centre, Hunt Club Football and Cricket Recreation Facility, Glenelg Football and Cricket Recreation Facility and Casey Fields Soccer Facility.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Delight in dealmaking

By ANEEKA SIMONIS THERE are many reasons why Megan Quinn, co-founder of a $3.4 billion high-end fashion retailer, is an international success.

At a recent Casey-Cardinia Business Breakfast, the 51-year-old business genius spoke on the journey that led her to birthing luxury retailer Neta-Porter.

Her most important piece of advice to business operators: “move to the beat of your own drum”.

Net-a-Porter was released to the world in 1999 before online retailing was commonplace.

Unlike many pioneering businesses at the time, Net-a-Porter survived the dot com bust - a feat achieved by constant innovation and two-way communication with consumers.

“Innovation doesn’t need to be extraordinary. You just have to do something different. Something a little beyond what the customer expects to exceed expectations,” Ms Quinn said, as she spoke to a crowd of local business owners on Wednesday 25 November.

When the high-end fashion retailer, stocking everything from Alexander McQueen to Balmain, Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi and Vallentino, was launched, it was done so with no research into or experience in the market.

Ms Quinn described the early founding years as ‘constructive anarchy’ - explaining that dominant ideologies about the industry were ignored in the development phases in order to create “something different”.

Drawing on the words of late businesswoman Anita Roddick, Ms Quinn said she has long stood by the need for uniquity: “If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.”

But Net-a-Porter was not Ms Quinn’s only entrepreneurial success.

In the lead up to co-founding the billion-dollar business, the strong business woman worked in advertising, started the cleaning company Partners in Grime as well as founded consultancy firm Q&Co. The daughter of a town publican, Ms Quinn admitted she learnt the ropes to operating a successful business from her dad at a young age.

“I lived in pubs from a young age,” she said.

Megan Quinn inspired a crowd of local business owners with advice on Picture: GARY SISSONS innovation for long-term success. 147275 “My dad showed me to lead by example. He was always fair and sometimes needed to be firm. I watched him build an authentic relationship with his staff and customers,” she said.

That early insight taught her another of her most important lessons: “You’re never too senior to pick up a broom”.

Ms Quinn is now a non-executive director of UNICEF Australia and Spe-

cialty Fashion Group, and an Ambassador for Fitted for Work.

She was named the 15th most powerful woman in Australian retail in 2013 by Inside Retail.

Ms Quinn founded Net-a-Porter alongside three others including friend Natalie Massanet, Ms Massanet’s husband Arnaud, and Ms Quinn’s former husband Mark.

Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast attendees listened intently to Ms Quinn as she spoke about the successes of her $3.4 billion business.

Cricket consultants’ taxing times TAX consultants were pitched in a friendly cricket battle with some of Dandenong’s newest arrivals at Hemmings Park.

Deloitte workers took on a team of clients and staff from migrant and refugee agency AMES on the pitch on 20 November.

On the same day they shared their experience with AMES students at employment-readiness mentoring sessions.

It was part of Deloitte’s national Impact Day in which its staff volunteered in community activities.

AMES teacher Luke Treadwell said the volunteers gave valuable insight and feedback to AMES students.

“Our international lunch was also great and enjoyed by all,” he said.

The Greater Dandenong City Council has prepared Amendment C190 to the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme.

The land affected by the Amendment is 15–29 and 55–67 Coomoora Road, Springvale South.

The Amendment proposes to rezone the former Keysborough Primary School and the former Keysborough College (Coomoora Campus) from Public Use Zone 2 – Education to Neighbourhood Residential Zone 1, apply a new Schedule to the Development Plan Overlay to the same land and insert a new Reference Document into the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme in order to facilitate the future use and development of the land for residential.

Submissions must be made in writing giving the submitter’s name and contact address, clearly stating the grounds on which the Amendment is supported or opposed and indicating what changes (if any) the submitter wishes to make.

Name and contact details of submitters are required for Council to consider submissions and to notify such persons of the opportunity to attend Council meetings and any public hearing held to consider submissions. The closing date for submissions is 22 January 2016.

A submission must be sent to: Strategic Planning C190, City of Greater Dandenong, PO Box 200, DANDENONG VIC 3175 ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ ฀ any person to inspect free of charge until the end of the two months after the amendment comes into operation or lapses.

Stingrays six-cess

By JARROD POTTER TUESDAY’S AFL National Draft proved life-changing for six Dandenong Stingrays players who made the first step towards their football futures.

It was an incredibly successful outing for the Stingrays, with their picks the equal-most of any club in Australia, starting at the top of the list as superstar defender Jacob Weitering headed to Carlton with the first pick.

Weitering from Mt Martha, who just turned 18 last Monday, had been touted for months as the numberone-in-waiting, but it was a great relief to finally hear his name called at the Adelaide Convention Centre as he now starts his career as a Blue.

“I can’t thank everyone that has helped me over the journey, especially my family and my friends, both sitting at home watching and obviously here tonight (Tuesday),” Weitering said.

“Thank you so much for all you’ve done - obviously the AFL as well and the Carlton Football Club for picking me at pick one.

“I’m very excited - I can’t wait to get under way.”

After Kieran Collins (pick 26) was picked by the Bulldogs it was an anxious wait for the remaining Stingrays, but the good news from Adelaide filtered through after a tense couple of rounds.

Surprising many draft experts, the biggest Stingrays’ shock of the night came as Liam Hulett, who had missed most of the season through an ankle injury, earned a place on Melbourne’s list with pick 42.

Beaconsfield team mates Brandon White (pick 40) and Bailey Rice (father-son pick 49) will stay team mates now in the AFL as they head off to St Kilda together while Narre Warren midfielder Kurt Mutimer (pick 57) will go to West Coast to

Dean and Bailey Rice got to celebrate a new AFL addition to the family when Bailey was picked at 49 by St Kilda. 147549 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Sunshine schoolies after draft victory

Dandenong defender Jacob Weitering, right pictured with Carlton coach Brendon Bolton, was the first selection in Tuesday’s AFL National Draft.

Picture: AFL MEDIA cap off the Stingrays’ sensational draft.

“Unbelievable - you captured the video which I’m happy to share with anyone - it’s so surreal,” White said.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet - I was in tears and enjoying it with the family was unbelievable.

“It’s not too far away, so mum and dad will be a bit shattered that I’m still at home - but I’m excited

to be going down there and earning my respect from the team mates, coaching staff and all the hard work is ahead, really.”

Stingrays coach Craig Black was thrilled with the club’s efforts in one of the greatest drafts in its TAC Cup history.

We’re really happy with six people getting picked, but you still feel disappointed for a couple of boys on

the periphery,” Black said.

“It’s a fantastic result for us at the Stingrays - if you told me that at the start of the year I’d take it any day of the week.

“It’s great work and recognition for all the hard work of the coaches at the Stingrays - from under-15s, 16s all the way up to 18s and everyone involved in the TAC Cup program at the Stingrays.”

Bombers home in on Nyuon as AFL target

By JARROD POTTER FROM sitting at a desk at Shepley Oval doing his work, to rushing across the Bolte Bridge to join his new AFL club, Friday morning has been a whirlwind for newly selected Essendon footballer Gach Nyuon.

Nyuon, 18, from Keysborough, had his hopes fulfilled in the AFL rookie draft as a click of the mouse changed the 200cm ruckman’s life.

Capping off his incredible year - having earned All Australian and TAC Cup Team of the Year honours and a national championship - The Stingrays’ mainstay will get to play for the Bombers in 2016 after he was chosen with the fourth pick overall.

As soon as he arrived at his Dandenong Stingrays’ traineeship on Friday - where he helps out with Auskick and sponsor seminars - Nyuon received the phenomenal news at 11am.

“It’s great - I’m pretty excited,” Nyuon said on Friday morning just minutes after his name was called out.

“Sort of had a rough idea - they (Essendon) called me yesterday and told me what was going to happen and it’s a bit more of a relief I guess - it’s special.”

Dandenong Stingrays ruckman Gach Nyuon, right, has earned his place in the AFL after Essendon selected him in Friday’s rookie Picture: JARROD POTTER draft. 144584 Feelings leftover from Tuesday night - where he was overlooked at the AFL National Draft - proved fleeting, as Nyuon just went back to work on and off the field without worrying too much about the upcoming rookie draft.

“Missing out on the national draft was disappointing, but I just waited for today to see what hap-

pens,” Nyuon said.

“Not much changed this week - not with my work and training nothing changed from what I went about with the Stingrays.”

He didn’t get much time to let his newly-announced AFL career sink in, with Essendon beckoning him to make the trip out to the western suburbs immediately to be presented to the club,

players and media later today.

“I’m at Shepley Oval - but have to leave pretty soon as the Bombers want me to get over there and do some media,” Nyuon said.

Nyuon believes the hard work necessary to earn his place in the senior side will inspire him greatly, as he relishes the challenge of advancing from the rookie list.

“I reckon it’s going to push me more that I was going into the rookie draft - I knew I had national draft talent,” Nyuon said. “I’m ready to take it and get my best shot - I’ll work twice as hard if I need to but I’m ready to get into it.”

It caps off an amazing rise into the football world for Nyuon whose first AFL season will only be his fourth overall in football, after taking up the sport in 2012.

Following its amazing Tuesday night where six Stingrays were selected - including Carlton’s number one pick Jacob Weitering - Dandenong ended with seven players on AFL lists from its 2015 squad.

Another Greater Dandenong expat Alex Woodward was re-listed

by Hawthorn after the unlucky midfielder suffered another ACL knee injury earlier this year.

DEAN Rice was not fussed where his son ended up, he was just thrilled to see Bailey make it into the AFL. A contingent of family and friends gathered around to see Bailey Rice, 18, who grew up playing for Endeavour Hills, snatched one of only 70 spots on offer from the AFL clubs at Tuesday night’s national draft.

The Rice cohort had to wait into the third round to hear Bailey’s name and it came not from the Saints at first, but Richmond which used pick 49 to bid on the talented defender/midfielder.

But the Saints matched the bid to ensure the Rice legacy would continue onto the next generation as Bailey became one of six Dandenong Stingrays taken in the national draft - a fantastic result for the TAC Cup club.

“It’s crazy - I was just watching it with family and friends and I’m over the moon,” Rice said.

“I’m lost for words ... didn’t think the Saints were going to match it (Richmond’s bid) at first but I was pretty confident they would.”

Instead of heading to schoolies in Queensland later this week, Rice would be on a different trip to the sunshine state as he and Stingrays team mate Brandon White start pre-season with the Saints and get stuck into their careers.

“Got a call before saying I was going to Queensland on Saturday - was meant to go to schoolies on the 28th in Queensland but this is even better,” Rice said.

“Going to St Kilda and Queensland this week instead.”

A lot has changed for St Kilda Rice-to-Rice as the club has shifted from Moorabbin and Waverley Park when Dean ended his time there in 1993, to now training at Seaford and playing indoor home games at Etihad Stadium.

But the pride of getting into the system hasn’t changed and Dean Rice could not have been more excited to hear his son’s name called out.

“Very proud mate, just as a father let alone going to the same club that I played for - just that he gets the opportunity to play AFL footy,” Dean Rice said.

“He’s worked really hard at it and gets an opportunity that many kids don’t get and it could set him up for life now if he makes the most of it.”

Dean’s football legacy gave Bailey Rice a unique choice between Carlton and St Kilda by means of the father-son rule, but in the end the elder Rice thought his son’s dual-heritage didn’t serve him that much of an advantage.

“I think the whole structure was a bit weird - it was all over the place - and to a point I think Bailey having two clubs he could go to pushed him down the draft a bit,” Dean Rice said.

“Clubs were baulking at him, thinking ‘oh well, there’s no point us bidding on him if he’s going to go to one of those clubs anyway’, so it pushed his value down the draft a bit, but anyway he got to the club in the end and that’s the main thing.”

One of the loudest on the field, Bailey Rice was surprisingly lost for words on Tuesday night but wanted to make sure everyone in his life - whether around or away from the footy oval knew how much they meant to him.

“There are so many people I’d like to thank - I don’t want to do names as I’d probably miss a lot of people, but there are so many and I want to thank everyone who has been a part of my life,” Rice said.

Hats are at the ready

By ROY ASPINALL THE successful William Hill Sandown Guineas Day may have concluded the 2015 Spring Racing Carnival, but no-one should put away their fascinators just yet.

There’s another exciting day of racing this Saturday at William Hill Park Sandown with the 12th Greater Dandenong Community Race Day and it is free for all local residents and ratepayers to attend.

Sandown is not just a major sporting venue in the south-eastern suburbs but is an icon that the Greater Dandenong community can take pride in.

The feature event, the Listed $120,500 Doveton Stakes (1000 metres), has been won by some outstanding horses in the past including Apache Cat in 2007, Catapulted in 2012 and Vatican in 2013.

This year, organisers are expecting another good field of runners.

The Swettenham Stud Summer Championship will also begin this Saturday at William Hill Park.

The championship comprises nine heats in December and January followed by a $100,000 final to be run over 1700 metres at Caulfield on Australia Day. The day, organised by the City of Greater Dandenong Council in conjunction with the Melbourne Racing Club, will also include a Bungee fun run, jumping castle and pony rides for the kids.

Greater Dandenong residents or ratepayers can enjoy free admission for the entire family if they provide proof of their address.

Attractive dining packages are still available and bookings can be made by phoning Melbourne Racing Club on 9257 7100.

The current William Hill Park, Sandown Racecourse opened on 19 June 1965 before a crowd of 52,379 people, a record that has never been eclipsed.

GOLFERS WANTED An established Social Golf Club needs new players.

We play 14 Sunday morning games per year at various South Eastern courses.

Kelly Applebee has hung up her navy blues and bid farewell to the VicSpirit after 14 years. Picture: GETTY IMAGES

Applebee looks to bold new horizons

By JARROD POTTER “CRICKET has definitely given me a lot more than what I ever expected ... more than I’ve given it, so I definitely appreciate what the game has been able to give me.”

After a phenomenal career in the navy blue, former VicSpirit captain Kelly Applebee, 33, has announced her retirement following Sunday’s season-ending loss to New South Wales.

With 116 Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) matches and 59 Twenty20s under her belt more than any other player - Applebee said it was time to bow out and focus on the next chapter - raising her daughter Ella and featuring for the Melbourne Stars in the inaugural Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).

“I’ve been thinking about it for a little while and been reflecting on me as a player and the time commitment that it takes to train and prepare as much as you possibly can,” Applebee said. “I’ve got a little five

month old daughter Ella as well, so it’s probably a really good time for me and the team as well, we’ve got some good young players coming through and the timing just felt right.

“It’s quite bizarre to think I’ve played my last game for Victoria started playing when I was 18 and it’s been half my life-time playing for the one side -so I don’t think it will be until I watch the girls play next season that it will become reality.”

The City of Greater Dandenong 2014 Sportsperson of the Year who tirelessly works to improve Dandenong Women’s Cricket Club - moved to Melbourne from Bairnsdale as an 18-year-old and ever since she has piled on the achievements for Victoria.

She amassed 2894 runs for Victoria since her debut in 2001 and also picked up two one-day premierships (2003 and 2005) and triumphed in Women’s T20 (2010 and 2012).

But her greatest cricketing memories are of team mates and great

opponents - with these people of cricket set to always feature in her life off the field.

“I was out there when Meg Lanning made her first hundred, was out there with Sarah (Elliott) making her ton the other week,” Applebee said. “Being out there celebrating a player’s first wicket or handing over their cap coming into the team for the first time - they’re moments I’ll never ever forget and stuff I’ve been really proud of.

“I’ve played with some amazing cricketers along the way and learned so much about cricket and life from them, so I’m very, very proud to say I’ve played with some of the best in the world and some I call really good friends today.”

Applebee isn’t done with highcalibre cricket though; she will add a new cap to her collection on debut for the Melbourne Stars in their inaugural WBBL game on 5 December at the Junction Oval, St Kilda, against the Brisbane Heat, starting at 10am as part of a WBBL doubleheader.

“The Women’s Big Bash is a really exciting competition and is fantastic for women’s cricket in general,” Applebee said. “It will feel quite strange to be playing against someone like Sarah (Elliott) - Sarah and I have nearly played all our cricket together and will be weird lining up against her.

“Melbourne Stars have really embraced the women’s game and have the motto - one club, two teams - and has been great with its commitment to exposing our team to everyone as much as possible.”

She hasn’t made a decision on her future playing Women’s Premier Cricket with Dandenong, but whether she plays or not Applebee will always be a fixture around Greaves Reserve, helping push the club along as a coach.

“I don’t think they’ve seen the last of me just yet,” Applebee said.

“Dandenong has been my home away from home - moving down to Melbourne when I was 18 - and I’ve definitely got a lot left to give back to the club.”

Rangers flood the Flames

By JARROD POTTER WNBL - ROUND 8 DOUSING the Sydney Uni Flames has Dandenong back in the WNBL winner’s circle after a sensational Saturday night performance.

Putting some ongoing problems behind them, the Rangers have shown they’re a force to worry about as they thrashed the former WNBL ladder leaders by 20 points.

The Rangers came into the match down on personnel, with starters Aimie Clydesdale and Alex Bunton sidelined, and facing the league’s top side after back-to-back losses in a huge month of road-trips.

The bookies would’ve given any price for the hosts’ victory, but the Rangers didn’t let the occasion overwhelm them in a four-quarter demolition of the Flames.

From a 10-1 start, the Rangers gave no inch as the visitors weren’t able at any point to surpass the green-and-gold army.

Dandenong shared the workload at both ends using ithe full roster to perfection.

They swamped Katie-Rae Ebzery (16 points) and the Flames’ tall contingent before the Rangers charged back up court to knock down its shots throughout the squad.

Eight Rangers had five-or-more point with the spread paying off in particular through the second half as the margin ballooned.

Alex Bunton’s absence allowed centre Jacinta Kennedy (12 points, five rebounds, four assists) a chance to start and subsequently star at both ends.

The Rangers were plus-24 when Kennedy was on court as she negated the Flames’ WNBAexperienced talls Carolyn Swords (15 points, 13 rebounds) and Joslyn Tinkle (0 points).

Kennedy owned the post at both ends, as Swords’ double-double was claimed well and truly after the result was decided.

Amelia Todhunter (nine points, seven assists, seven rebounds) was another to relish her starting opportunity.

She pierced the Flames’ defences, setting up her team mates before filling out her own stats with a pair of sublime fourth-term treys.

Relishing her return to life at Dandenong this year, Steph Cumming (23 points) continued her mercurial season as she knocked in her sixth

Jacinta Kennedy was brilliant on Saturday as she put the brakes on Sydney Uni’s Carolyn Swords. 147746 15-or-more outing.

Cumming’s buzzer-beating three to end the half left Sydney Uni well and truly on the back foot and she continued to rattle off her shots while keeping a close eye on Flames’ captain Ebzery.

From all facets Dandenong blanketed the Sydney Uni effort and for Rangers coach Larissa Anderson, it showed no one is safe at the top as the

league is too even to allow any mistakes.

“At this standard if any teams have lapses you get punished and we’ve just been punished for lapses over the last couple of weeks,” Anderson said.

“That’s where all the girls copped it on the chin this week and I think it would be fair to say they brought it together.

“Our focus was what we could control and we had to go back to defence and throwing a few different things out there and giving it a crack.”

The win keeps the Rangers above .500 with a game in hand on the top four and will hope to push back into finals equation when Dandenong battles Perth at home on Friday before flying to face Adelaide on Sunday.

Northern rush of Bloods

Panthers’ Alleyne stops rot

By JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET ROUND 8 REVIEW (Twenty20) LETTING the foot off the accelerator almost cost Dandenong (8/110) against St Kilda (7/109).

Well ahead for the vast majority of the game, Dandenong in the end struggled to reach the target and only got there by the skilful lower-order work of David Alleyne (31no).

While he might have a few greys poking through his beard, Alleyne showed he hasn’t lost any touch over the journey as he rescued Dandenong’s batting.

What should’ve been a tiny total was allowed to balloon out as Dandenong failed to fire after devastating first-up spells from Justin Butterfield (3/13) and James Wilcock (3/23). The quick tandem eliminated the first five St Kilda bats for just 23 within the first five overs, leaving only the lower order to pierce.

But St Kilda returned fire as Alex Bychkov (40no) played a gallant innings - defending the good balls and rotating the singles alongside James Muirhead (21). With the tail-end wagging, St Kilda managed to hit a few boundaries at the death to post a 110 run-chase for

Picture: JARROD POTTER

A fist-pump from David Alleyne was a mild celebration after he guided Picture: JARROD POTTER Dandenong home on Saturday. 147745 the Panthers.

It looked easy at first - a meagre tally on a small ground - with usual suspects Tom Donnell (19) and Brett Forsyth (12) hitting the St Kilda spearheads to all points on the compass. But the rot set in fast - with the Panthers falling from the heavens in succession from 0/30 to 7/62 in the blink of an eye.

Some retaliation from Brenton Murphy (16) stemmed the bleeding before Alleyne - featuring in his 150th Premier first XI match - entered the field.

Working the singles with Peter Sweeney (9), Alleyne saw off St Kilda’s troublesome spinners Michael Beer (1/18), Josh Drummond (2/5) and Muirhead (2/17) before cashing in against the quicks for the final few overs.

Alleyne belted Jak Jowett (2/16) for 10 off the second last over - with two amazing cuts racing to the boundary - to leave 10 needed off the last.

Ensuring the last over tally wouldn’t get out of hand Alleyne flat batted Blade

Baxter over the rope before hitting three off the second ball, leaving to need two more from three deliveries.

James Wilcock (3no) nudged the winning runs, but the raucous applause went to the former Nottinghamshire/ Middlesex keeper-batsman.

“We had a bit of work to do - about 60 off 40 balls - and that was the equation I was thinking about,” Alleyne said.

“If we hit four or five boundaries in that and looked at a run a ball and we’d be there or there abouts and it just so happened that it worked out that way.

“We’ve played some really good cricket, certainly over this year - it’s always nice to be part of a win and hopefully there’s some more runs to come and more wins to come.”

The Panthers faced Footscray-Edgewater on Sunday after the Journal went to print.

In next weekend’s twin-fixture, Dandenong is home on Saturday to Geelong and away against Melbourne on Sunday.

DDCA - ROUND 5 REVIEW (Day 1) SECURING a win already, Springvale South toyed with North Dandenong as it aims for top of Turf 1.

SPRINGVALE SOUTH v NORTH DANDENONG North Dandenong (129 and 1/10) was left in disarray after Springvale South (2/137dec) powered through the visitors. It was a disaster from the start as the visitors succumbed early and often. Shane Leonard (30) and Uzair Qureshi (29) held back the tide, but the Northerners were easily dismissed. Nathan King (4/25) and Malinga Bandara (3/34) had a field day as North Dandenong wleft the crease in the 48th over.

King (39) was among it again early as he worked alongside Michael Vandort (62) to punish the Northern force. Perhaps the Bloods thought it was a Twenty20 as the tandem belted an incredible 137 off 25 overs.

Craig Slocombe called his charges back in for one last spell - snaring a wicket before stumps.

LYNDALE v PARKFIELD WITH work cut out for it chasing next week, Lyndale (0/7) will be hunting hugely after Parkfield’s (224) monster tally. oe Barrett (80), Shane Bell (44) and Travis D’Souza (40) flayed the ball from the top spots. Barrett was sensational early as he belted the Dales around Barry Powell Reserve, but missed out on a maiden Turf 1 century after Ben Montgomery (2/49) finally got his man. Barrett-Bell’s 117-run stand set Parkfield in motion and D’Souza

continued the good-natured hitting.

The visitors went the tonk and put the last runs in the ledger by stumps, as wickets fell fast but Lyndale’s chase grew. Ciaron Connolly (4/72) held up his end.

BUCKLEY RIDGES v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS Batting Heinz Southern Districts (0/19) into oblivion, Buckley Ridges (283) belted the fellow top-four side to leave a huge chase. After Michael Davies (4/65) snared two immediate scalps, the 2/0 score line looked horrendous, but it turned around quickly as Susantha Pradeep (120) and Jayson Hobbs (46) returned fire. Their 114-run stand was ended

by Davies, but Pradeep carried on with Dan Watson (33) and Suren Ekanayake (28) to belt his first ton.

The frenzy ended early as Pradeep fell to Matt Downe (3/62), leaving the tail to swat another 70 after his demise. Heinz remained 11-strong at stumps with a whopper to hunt down at Park Oval.

MORDIALLOC v DANDENONG WEST The woes of the reigning premier Mordialloc (145) continued as Dandenong West (2/23) charged through the home side. After falling to 8/78, the Bloodhounds were revived by Leon Kennedy (49) and under-15 Victorian schoolboys squad member Jakob Woinarski (27), but Peter Atkinson (3/52) and Andrew Harry (3/20) made sure the bowlers’ job ended early. The visitors lost the skipper Matt Sofoulis (7) towards the end of the day, with the nightwatchman Atkinson (0no) surviving until stumps.

Coach’s enviable record

By JARROD POTTER STEPPING aside as Dandenong’s SEABL women’s coach was an extremely difficult decision Larissa Anderson knew she had to make.

Leaving an unassailable legacy in SEABL coaching circles, Anderson vacated her winterleague position to focus on the WNBL summer side, after receiving her dream job earlier this year.

Anderson had been weighing up whether or not to continue juggling WNBL and SEABL as she did this year to great effect as Dandenong won a fourth SEABL championship in a 76-63 grand final triumph over Kilsyth.

But with her time and energy focused on the Rangers WNBL campaign, Anderson admitted it was a tough, but necessary decision to resign.

“It’s extremely hard - I’d love to keep doing it,” Anderson said.

“It gets to a point where I’ve been going back and forth for the last 18 months and it’s not fair on my family or the club - it’s fair to give another person a go with an amazing club.

“We’ve got Paps’ (Clare Papavs) 300th game next season and I would’ve loved to have coached her then, but as I have told her I wouldn’t miss it for the world and will be there.”

Her SEABL coaching record will stand as one of the league’s finest, as she coached Dandenong to four SEABL championships.

Her SEABL legacy is also reflected in her current WNBL roster with many players - such as Steph Cumming, Aimie Clydesdale, Amelia Todhunter, Alison Downie, Lauren Scherf and Tenaya Phillips - honing their skills in the SEABL side throughout the years.

“It’s been such a special group and will forever be a special group - I’ll still be involved but it’s important for the process and we have a new voice and someone who fits into the Dandenong culture,” Anderson said.

“We’ve kept the group of girls together - there will still be that key core nucleus ready to go and we will be able to build around it.”

Anderson isn’t lost to the SEABL side by any means - she’ll play a significant part in helping develop the side in tandem with the new coach.

Larissa Anderson will not coach the Dandenong's SEABL women's team in 2016, after resigning from the team recently. 146618 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS She’ll be a driving force in building a stronger culture throughout the association.

“I’m still going to be involved - I’ll be around in the off-season and work with the girls, help at training and still be heavily involved,” Anderson said.

“We want to find someone who is great for the culture that we can build throughout the Dandenong Basketball Association and to be on and stay together so the senior club stays together and that’s why we’ve gone down that process.”

Applications for the SEABL women’s coaching position close on Monday 30 November and should be directed to Damon Lowery at damon.lowery@ dandenongbasketball.com.au, or Trish Fallon at trish.fallon@dandenongbasketball.com.au

Sting’s winners are a big hit in the boxing ring Tandem colour change

By DAVID NAGEL

IN BOXING circles it will always be remembered as the Big Sting.

Five boxers from the Sting Gym in Dandenong entered the squared circle for the recent Victorian Amateur Boxing League State Titles - and all five came away as winners.

Elijah Sa’Lesui (Super Heavyweight), Thomas Konstantinidis (Light Middleweight), Jai Ashby Paule (Middleweight) and brothers David (Junior Super Middleweight) and John Mannu (Welterweight) added further lustre to the gym’s shining reputation in the sport.

Five world champions, Commonwealth, South Pacific, Australian and state title holders, head-coach and coowner of Sting Gym Michael Vukovic has seen it all.

“We’ve had a lot of success over the years but, to have five state title winners, this is a pretty big feather in our cap,” Vukovic said.

“It all comes down to hard work and the dedication of our fighters and our trainers.”

Vukovic won’t lay claim to all the credit, Konstantinidis is trained out of the same gym by 747 Fitness owner Kosta Drakoulakos but the boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts and mauy thai coach has seen enough in his time to know what separates the men from the boys.

His own career spanned just five fights, based out of Leo Berry’s iconic gym in Richmond, but it was enough to give him a sense of belonging and the urge to teach others.

“I started training probably 25 years ago and the first 12 years were out of my garage in Noble Park,” he said.

“But that grew too big so we moved to Richmond, sharing a gym with a weight-

“We moved to Chelsea for three years and this is our third location in Dandenong.

“We have a gym in Frankston and another in Broadmeadows is on the way.”

But, despite his wealth of knowledge, it’s never too late to learn and a trip to San Francisco changed his training methods forever.

“I couldn’t believe it. Up until then I

was a one-man show, I’d be the pad holder, the trainer, everything, but that trip changed my ideas,” he said.

“They had teams of people training their fighters and it made me swallow my pride and implement the same ideas in my gyms when I got back.

“The game has changed now, there is a lot more science involved now, better nutrition, people are looking after their bodies better, but for me the love of the sport is still the same.”

So is there a potential star on the horizon?

“We have an ex-rugby player, Toese Vousiutu, who I believe is the next big thing in Australian boxing,” he said.

“He’s a freak of nature, he’s already proved he can mix it with the big boys and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the Australian team at next year’s Olympics.”

Sounds like another ‘Big Sting’ might be just around the corner.

BRETT Deledio passing the ball to Shaun Grigg isn’t what you’d expect when watching Endeavour Hills cricket.

The Richmond Football Club tandem traded the black-and-gold for the green-and-gold as they represented Endeavour Hills in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA) Twenty20 competition.

They weren’t just hitand-giggle substitute players, though, as Deledio, in particular, was an exciting junior-age cricketer and claimed an Under 17 National Championship with Victoria before trading in his whites for a footy jumper.

Tuesday’s VSDCA Twenty20 Twilight clash against Croydon also featured St Kilda’s Josh Drummond as the side’s marquee player to add to the Eagles’ firepower.

Deledio’s off-spin caused a couple of headaches but, despite his credentials, the Hills were bowled out for just 94 in reply to Croydon’s 6/157.

Endeavour Hills faced Kew in day-two of VSDCA round five on Saturday.

MODEL RANGE Insignia VXR 2.8-litre five-door sedan: $51,990 (automatic)

wheels of the VXR unless it was backed off at times.

So a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system has been developed.

Power runs through a six-speed automatic transmission.

Engine performance is excellent, with a minimum of turbo lag and heaps of grunt once the turbo is spooling at its best.

Sport mode adds a nice note to the intake and exhaust. And also sharpens up the gearshifts beautifully.

Fuel consumption isn’t going to be a strong feature of a big turbo-petrol engine that’s getting on in years, but 10 to 13 litres per 100 kilometres on interesting country roads and around town isn’t too bad.

There’s little doubt the VXR is the best of the Insignia range, so deserves the honour of being in the vanguard of that 24-vehicle onslaught as Holden moves away from building cars in Australia to being a full importer. This German import certainly provides a lot of performance and style for a comparatively modest outlay.

HOLDEN Insignia VXR is designed and built by GM-Opel in Germany - but its engine is made in Holden’s Melbourne plant.

From Australia the engine is sent to Europe to be installed in many cars sold globally.

Though the Aussie engine is the big news, there’s plenty of Australian engineering input in many facets of the car which will play an important part of the future for GM-Holden.

Very much a sports sedan, Holden says Insignia VXR will compete directly with the likes of Subaru Liberty and Volkswagen Passat CC. But we wouldn’t be surprised if buyers on a relatively tight budget also considered the Insignia when the can’t quite gather the money to justify an Audi, BMW or Merc of similar size.

Insignia still has basically the same body we tested on the Opel-badged imports that were sold in Australia for a short time a couple of years back.

However, it recently had a significant facelift and, in VXR format, it certainly has a bold and purposeful look that defies the fact the body has been around for almost six years.

The 20-inch wheels fill out the guards nicely and play their part in the bold overall look.

Recaro sports seats provide good side support without being overly aggressive.

The cockpit is where the biggest changes have been introduced.

The instruments now largely electronic, with two 8.0-inch screens.

One scene is used for most, of the major instruments, the other screen for satellite navigation and infotainment displays.

The biggest change here is that the Insignia VXR uses the latest generation of GM’s MyLink system.

Through Holden’s MyLink you can connect to Bluetooth and access apps keeping them tuned into music, news, other entertainment and satellite navigation.

Embedded apps include Pandora, Stitcher and TuneIn allowing owners to create their own personal stations, stream their favourite podcasts, radio shows and news, and listen to the world’s radio from wherever they are.

Bluetooth connectivity means the touchscreen can be used to wirelessly stream audio files for playback from a paired mobile phone.

There’s a big emphasis on active safety, that is avoiding a crash. As well as excellent handling dynamics and brakes the Holden Insignia VXR there are Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Side Alert, Lane Change Alert, Forward Collision Alert, and Automatic Emergency Braking.

In Opel (and Vauxhall) speak the initials ‘VXR’ indicate this is the high-performance model in the range, in much the same way that HSV stands for ‘quick car’ in Australia.

The VXR is powered by a 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 producing 239 kW of power and a big 435 Nm of torque.

That sort of torque could overwhelm the front

Designed by Opel and now in Australia, the VXR version of the Holden Insignia is a stunner.
