n Numan Haider’s radicalisation led to his own demise, inquest hears...
Shooting ‘justified’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells Police and intelligence officers have been cleared of any adverse findings over the death of radicalised teen Numan Haider outside Endeavour Hills Police Station, State Coroner John Olle has found. A piece of overlooked critical information may have prevented the fateful meeting between the 18-year-old and two police officers on 23 September 2014, Mr Olle stated in his findings on 31 July. Haider was recorded during a call to an unidentified male that “if I had a knife I would’ve stabbed them” - referring to police who intervened in his Shahada flag-waving protest in Dandenong Plaza a week earlier. “The police didn’t even search me.” The call - which didn’t connect - was later uncovered by a Coroner’s investigator, but had not been captured by ASIO monitoring at the time. It was the one piece of information that was likely to alter the police’s approach, Mr Olle said. Utimately, though, the cause of Haider’s death was his own dangerous conduct, he said. “I find that Numan engaged in a course of conduct that involved radicalisation and behaviour that was increasingly dangerous, ultimately causing his death,” Mr Olle stated at the Coronor’s Court of Victoria, Melbourne. Officer A, who had fired the single fatal
Numan Haider.
shot, was left with no other realistic option after Haider had stabbed him and Officer B with a folding knife, Mr Olle said. At that point, Haider had repeatedly stabbed Officer B to the head and neck, and had crouched over to stab the fallen officer’s stomach, Mr Olle said. “Other non-fatal tactical options available to Officer A would not have prevented the potentially fatal injuries being inflicted on Officer B by Numan.” Mr Olle found the risk assessments and decisions to meet Haider “could not reasonably be subject to criticism”. Before his attack on police, Haider had made several Facebook posts supporting “extremist views”. He sought weapons such as a knife and a Taser disguised as an iPhone. He was believed to have visited an extremist Islamic centre in Bankstown, Sydney,
just over a week before the fatal incident. His passport was also cancelled due to the belief he could join overseas terrorist groups. Days before, a Facebook post depicted Haider in a balaclava, military camouflage and holding a Shahada flag in the style of “members of terror groups”, and calling police and ASIO officers “dogs” in the wake of large-scale raids on mosques in Sydney and Brisbane. Officer A and B had not been alerted to the post prior to the meeting. They later told the inquiry this was a significant omission. Mr Olle said he couldn’t eliminate “hindsight bias” from assessing the post’s significance. He found there was no causal connection between that information and the manner and cause of Haider’s death. Haider’s radicalisation transformed a “happy go lucky” teenager of a practicing Muslim family.
Haider and his family had fled Afghanistan from persecution by the Taliban when he was seven years old. He attended Southern Cross Primary School in Endeavour Hills and Lyndale Secondary College in Dandenong North. In his last months he lost interest in his apprenticeship and playing sport, became obsessed with Middle East issues and spent “inordinate” time with a group of young males. He met some of the group at Hallam mosque, and with one of them he attended the Al-Furqan centre in Springvale South, which was linked to recruitment for jihadist groups such as Islamic State. “It is those closest to the individual, such as Numan’s friends and associates in this case, that were best placed to be aware of his increasing radicalisation, but they did not act on it, for reasons which are unclear,” Mr Olle stated. The Coroner either treated Haider’s associates’ evidence with caution or “very little weight”. They did not give “full and frank answers” and seemed to serve their own and Haider’s interests, Mr Olle stated. Haider’s parents, who had determinedly tried to separate their son from the group, were absent for the findings. The court was told that they were overseas.

Council’s butting out of federal policy debates By Cam Lucadou-Wells and Victoria Stone-Meadows In a heated debate, Casey councillors have voted down a plan to advocate against marriage equality, with mayor Sam Aziz declaring the council would no longer be distracted by federal matters. Two weeks after a heavily-criticised motion on national conscription, councillors largely abstained from Cr Rosalie Crestani’s push for the council to support a “huge silent majority”. At the 1 August meeting, Cr Crestani particularly lashed out at the abstaining Cr Rex Flannery, accusing him of reneging on his support for her motion. While explaining his position to the meeting, Cr Flannery said he had earlier told Cr Crestani that if same-sex marriage was allowed, “we would probably have to tear up the Bible”. “I unfortunately don’t have a Bible,” he told the meeting. At that point, Cr Crestani interjected and was urged to take her seat as she handed Cr Flannery her Bible. Cr Flannery said he himself was “torn” over the issue. The council also voted down a push for Casey to direct a 700-strong residents’ petition on the same issue to every federal MP in the country. Councillors supported an alternative motion to write to the head petitioner to suggest the petition ought to be sent directly to the federal government without the council’s involvement. Cr Crestani said the timing of the motion was a “gift” given changes to the Marriage Act could be voted upon in Canberra as soon as next week. It was vital to protect one of the most “sacred covenants in human history” that was handed down by God - that marriage was between one man and one woman, Cr Crestani said. She likened the possible change to the “hedonistic end” of the Roman empire, opening the door to multiple spouses, incest and child marriage. “What is worse than paedophilia being legislated?” She warned councillors that she would “remind you all of this night” whenever the council ventured into state and federal matters. “There are some things that are just priceless.
The recalled hot water bottle.
Bottles are in hot water after leaks
Casey councillors Wayne Smith and Rosalie Crestani clashed in a debate about marriage equality. “Money doesn’t matter if you don’t have a healthy society.” Most councillors however seemed to agree with Cr Gary Rowe that the council should “stick to its knitting”. “I think this is going one step too far. “We need to stick to those things that local government is very good at - that is rates, roads and rubbish.” Mayor Aziz said he was concerned with the “pattern” of exciting media interest in “a divisive debate on a peripheral issue” to the council. He said in hindsight the conscription motion a fortnight earlier was a mistake, condemning Casey to much criticism across the nation. Cr Aziz asked what would be next - a letter to NASA to settle on Mars, or to the UN Security Council on what to do about North Korea? “I want to put a line under this debate.” Cr Wayne Smith said councillors couldn’t claim to know the majority position of their constituents. According to his own Facebook survey, people on both sides of the debate unanimously thought Casey’s intervention was inappropriate, Cr Smith said.
“Every one of them agreed they didn’t vote in councillors to have a position on this.” Cr Smith also said council having an official position on marriage equality would cause undue stress and division within the Casey community. “Us writing a letter is not going to have one iota of effect,” he said. “No matter what decision we make we are going to alienate a section of the community; we have got a huge LGBTIQ community and if this went though they will feel much worse and it will cause a lot of angst for the pro Marriage Act people too.” “My view is why set up division when there doesn’t need to be? Especially when it is not going to have any effect on the level where it matters.” This is not the first time Cr Crestani has attracted controversy with her views on LGBTIQ issues. In 2014 she staged an unsuccessful attempt to have any council support for LGBTIQ people shut down and just last month led a successful charge against the State Government’s ‘building respectful relationships’ and ‘safe schools’ programs.
Facelift for Casey ARC brings big frog to the pool
A Hallam retailer is in hot water over burns. On Monday 31 July, Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Marlene Kairouz said a consumer complaint unearthed thousands of faulty hot water bottles from Wens Bros Trading. The company trades from a retail outlet in Hallam and a Clayton warehouse. Ms Kairouz said the seams of a hot water bottle split and burnt a consumer, who then tipped off Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV). CAV seized more than 4000 faulty hot water bag products from both Wens Bros Trading locations. Testing conducted for Consumer Affairs Victoria found the products did not have the rubber thickness and seam strength required and failed to meet mandatory safety standards for hot water bottles. “In the colder months, nothing is better than climbing into bed with a hot water bottle to keep warm - but this shouldn’t be accompanied by a fear that the bottle might burst,” Ms Kairouz said. The product also carried insufficient instructions explaining how to use it safely. A product recall notice for the faulty hot water bottles is online at www.recalls.gov.au. “It is vital Victorians keep an eye out for these faulty and defective hot water bottles as they could potentially cause injuries,” she said. The public warning followed an earlier recall on exploding birthday candles and other toys and novelty products discovered at Wens Bros Trading. Ms Kairouz said the hot water bags were unsafe and might not be robust enough to handle normal use. She urged any consumer who had purchased the product to immediately stop using it and return it for a full refund. Visit www.consumer.vic.gov.au to report product safety concerns.

Student voices heard By Casey Neill
Council's plans go digital The City of Casey’s 2017 to 2021 Council Plan has been presented in a digital format for the first time. The Council Plan details how the City of Casey will work towards key projects to improve the liveability of the municipality. The council is aiming to promote ongoing feedback on the plan with its new digital platform. City of Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said the plan has been informed through council run community engagement projects such as the Casey Next Survey and the Casey People’s Panel. “Our Council Plan for the next four years is driven by the expectations and the needs of our residents,” he said. “The 54 Casey People’s Panel members helped identify these priorities, and will be part of the delivery of a number of key objectives to put the City of Casey ahead of the rest.” “As the biggest and one of the fastest growing municipalities in the state, we want to ensure that we are continually catering to the needs of our rapidly expanding community,” he said. Over the next six months the council aims to incorporate access to council documents, build its annual Action Plan, and report on project progress through the online platform. To view the 2017-21 Council Plan visit www. ourfuture.casey.vic.gov.au.

Gleneagles students Rowan, Canis and Sarah at the congress. The Gleneagles trio looked at placing students in year levels based on ability rather than age. “We worked with our action teams to build on our ideas and ultimately pitch them out at the open morning on the last day,” she said. Education Minister James Merlino joined Commissioner for Children and Young People Liana Buchanan, teachers and students at the event. “I was one of the four students in my action
team that had to pitch out our group’s idea,” Canis said. “I was really nervous but excited at same time since it was the first time I was presenting to a minister or a commissioner. “However, it was extremely rewarding once I did it and it made me more confident for future public speaking opportunities.”

Endeavour Hills teens joined others from across the state to shine a light on student issues. Gleneagles Secondary College student Canis walked away from the Victoria Student Representative Congress inspired. “I realised how much I enjoy working with others to work on implementing ideas and pitching them out,” she said. “I’ve become more passionate about student voice and now want to find a way for students at my school to have their voices heard - kind of like the idea of having a Gleneagles Congress. “I realised how big ideas and big changes all start from a small spark, from one person who has an extremely big passion. “Any change is possible if you do something about it.” Canis said a valuable lesson she will implement as this year’s school captain was that it was OK to disagree but not OK to disrespect. “Re-engage, do not just disagree,” she said. The congress ran from Monday 10 July to Wednesday 12 July at the University of Melbourne’s Ormond College. The Victorian Student Representative Council is the peak body representing school-aged students in Victoria. “I was keen to meet student leaders from other schools across the state in order to understand the bigger issues in education, share and exchange experiences, and build relationships and co-operation with other schools,” Canis said. “I was fortunate enough that my teachers enrolled me to attend the congress along with two other student leaders from Gleneagles, Rowan and Sarah. “This year is the first year our school participated.” More than 200 students took part. “Many of them shared their great ideas at the action market on the first day, from tackling environmental issues in schools to teaching real world skills as part of the school curriculum,” Canis said. “We were then split into 12 different action teams, each focusing on one issue or idea.”
In Brief
A man wanted on warrants over assault and unlawful imprisonment is known to frequent Endeavour Hills. Police are appealing for public help to find Andrew Joseph Mete, 35, (pictured). He’s described as 175 centimetres tall with straight brown hair and a medium build. He might be travelling in a red 2004 Holden Adventurer station wagon with registration XKO458. Police warned anyone who saw Mete not to approach him.

Looking Back
Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society
100 years ago 2 August 1917 To commemorate the entry of Great Britain into the war, a concert and recruiting meeting is to be held at the Dandenong Town Hall on Saturday evening next. A first-class programme has been arranged and the public are cordially invited to attend the function and make it a great success - as befits the occasion.
50 years ago 8 August 1967 Special tour in new buses Grenda’s Bus Services operating from Foster Street, Dandenong, hosted a number of local VIPs on a tour last week to introduce new parlour coaches in the existing fleet. The new coaches feature fully automatic gear boxes, pressurised cabins, adjustable seats, individual lights and air ducts, also air
suspension. The coaches will be available for charters. Ken and Lance Grenda made the introductory tour.
20 years ago 4 August 1997 Ideal place for leading arts centre Dandenong has been named as the ideal site for a $30 million performing arts centre. A consultant’s report commissioned by the Ministry for Arts and soon to be released, shows Dandenong as the front runner for a world-class performing arts centre. It states the south-east needs a “double-A standard” performing arts facility capable of seating more than 500 and providing worldclass facilities for international touring groups. The report states Dandenong is the only regional centre in Victoria which does not have a significant performing arts centre.
A number of sites were investigated. Dandenong Town Hall was selected as a strong contender. The proposal is for: a state of the art complex with a 1500-seat recital hall, an intimate theatre with a raked floor and seating for 300. The centre would be suitable for local professional and amateur performances as well as international and national productions. The council’s manager of strategic planning, Mr Michael Tierney, said the report showed the government would be most interested in supporting a facility of world class standard. “If we are going to drum this thing up, it has to be exceptional and far superior to any existing reginal facilities,” he said.
5 years ago 6 August 2012 Your Voice Re: Taxi wheelchair woes for disabled.
I am a country taxi driver who drives a wheelchair taxi and the stories we hear from our customers of their experience with Melbourne taxis and suburbs are just horrific. When the licence holder actually drove the taxi, there was a lot more care about the business and the customer. Now the licences are owned by people living in nursing homes who have nothing to do with the service. The industry giants take their huge profits running dispatch of the taxis, with all profits going to major companies. At the end of the day there is a pittance left for the driver who gets minimal credit and slave pay. It is a silly unsustainable system. The industry has lacked any innovation in providing an affordable transport system.
Church faith in region’s progress What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s bestknown street names. This week the Journal looks at Moysey Lane, named for Susannah.
WHAT’S IN A
The Revitalising Central Dandenong project created the north-south connector between George Street and Halpin Way that’s now known as Moysey Lane. Greater Dandenong Council agreed to the name in 2013 as part of a plan to reflect Dandenong’s diversity and history. Dandenong and District Historical Society members and a leading heritage consultant revealed the site’s historic connection to Susannah Brown Moysey, nee Treeby. Susannah was born in Modbury, England, in 1825. She married Ugborough-born James Bickford Moysey at age 18 in 1843. Together with James’ cousin Nicholas they took up an offer from the Port Phillip District,
NAME later Victoria, to travel to Port Phillip for 18/14/0 each. They arrived aboard the Sea Queen in April 1844. James was thought to be the first white settler in Beaumaris. Susannah was a devoted Christian and had for many years dreamed of a church in Dandenong. In September 1892, failing health forced her to give up her weekly trips to Berwick to meet with fellow Christians. With help from family members she visited and brought together local people for a Sunday communion service in the old Salvation Army
Susannah Moysey and her fourth son, William. Citadel at Walker and Langhorne streets until it was burnt down in 1895 - the year of Susannah’s death. Her efforts, and her family’s, strengthened the Dandenong Church of Christ congregation
and led to a weatherboard church being built on the south-west corner of George and Robinson streets in 1904. The church opened on 28 August following 11 weeks of construction by builder David Brown for the cost of 500 pounds. Volunteers added a Sunday school to the church’s rear for £140 in early 1918. Further working bees lined the hall and built the kitchen. The church housed numerous religious groups including the Assembly of God (until 1977), the United Pentecostal Fellowship and the Church of the Word. In October 2000, spiritual movement Sant Nirankari Mission bought the church and hall. Places Victoria acquired it in 2009 to as part of Revitalising Central Dandenong. James died in 1889 on his Narre Warren Farm at the age of 80. Susannah lived with her daughter, Elizabeth, until she died in 1895, aged 70.

Now Recruiting
Casey finds the cap fits By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey is planning to stay within the State Government’s rates cap in next year’s budget, mayor Sam Aziz has told a Narre Warren business group. “We will not be applying for a rates increase above two per cent,” Cr Aziz told Narre Warren Region Business Group’s AGM on 27 July. “That is already happening in 2017-’18 and it’s going to happen in 2018-’19.” It would mark the third consecutive year within the rates cap since Casey’s failed bid to the Essential Services Commission for a variation in 2015-’16. Cr Aziz told the group the rates decision was built on efficiencies and savings over several years. The council would still be able to invest in required infrastructure despite the restriction.
Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik later told Star News the pledge was made on the back of a “stash of money” for 10 years at the expense of ratepayers. “This slush fund will continue forever and a day if allowed. “As far as limiting a rate variation for 2018-’19, nothing is set in concrete.” Cr Aziz also outlined a vision for Narre Warren’s CBD, including a footbridge linking Webb Street to Fountain Gate shopping centre. There were also plans for better links with the railway station and a multi-level car park. He hoped for a significant project on the civic centre and library sites, both soon to be redundant upon the opening of Bunjil Place in October. Guest speaker and former WorkSafe inspector Dave Mackie spoke on workplace safety chal-
lenges, including the flammable cladding on city high-rises. Mr Mackie said the construction industry had been “lucky” to avoid more injuries in the wake of a recent prosecution of a crane installer for a spate of crane collapses. “Bits are coming off the high-rises every second day. Parts just fall onto the road but luckily no-one gets hurt.” He told of the need for tact and diplomacy as an inspector. “A lot of it is about how you deal with people. “No-one likes to be told what to do. The best thing you can do is involve people, ask for their opinion and let them come up with the solutions.” At the meeting, Narre Warren Region Business Group elected its president Steve Osborne, vice-president Michael Parker, treasurer Richard Edwards and secretary Tim Allan.

The event ran for 46 hours over the weekend starting on Friday, 28 July where teams identified problems, built working prototypes and published their source as an open code. Entrepreneurs, IT specialists and anyone with a general interest in data were encouraged to participate in the event, which took place across Australia and New Zealand. Projects included web, mobile or augmented reality applications, new analysis or 3D printed visualisations to understand data and patterns. GovHack has inspired governments across Australia to improve how they deliver their data, to make it easier for the public to understand how governments use revenues, and to focus more attention on delivering citizen-centric services.
By Victoria Stone-Meadows Casey Council has passed without comment a motion that will see the budget for its new website increase by $300,000. The motion was listed on the agenda for the council meeting on Tuesday 1 August, but council agreed to pass the motion with no discussion. In September 2016 council awarded a $274,560 contact to Previous Next Pty Ltd to build a new council website, staff intranet and Bunjil Place website. The total budgeted amount for the project was originally set at $470,000 but council has now approved a $300,000 increase to the total budgeted amount. Casey Council’s Acting Manager Digital and Data Paul Dow said the contract variation was akin to moving resources within the bounds of the project. “The website redevelopment project will still be delivered on budget and on time, it’s just that the budget distribution for the project is changing,” he said. “While the website development cost has increased to accommodate necessary enhancements and functionality, council has offset the cost by finding savings in other areas of the project.” The new websites being developed for council will aim to allow residents to connect and transact with council on a number of devices, while the intranet is supposed to increase staff efficiency. “Through council’s Customer Focus Strategy and Digital Casey Strategy we’re committed to ensuring our customers are at the centre of everything we do and these new digital products will make it easier for our community to connect and transact with council,” Mr Dow said. “Our new council website will make it easier for our community to find and understand the information they need and conduct their council transactions online anytime, anywhere and on any device.” “The new Bunjil Place website will attract users to the facility and have functionality to purchase tickets to programs and events.”

Restaurant manager Paul Abdo, Nonna Clara, Frank Capuzzi and Angelo LoMonaco toast their new venture.
EPA is digging in By Cam Lucadou-Wells Officers from the Environment Protection Authority will be embedded in Casey council’s offices to improve the EPA’s response to pollution and waste issues. Casey is one of 13 Victorian councils to take part in the $4.8 million, pilot program, which stemmed from an independent inquiry into the EPA. The Officers for the Protection of the Local Environment (OPLEs) will work with the council and EPA to tackle small-scale complaints of illegal dumping, litter, noise, dust and odour at industrial sites and businesses. Their work is expected to help EPA’s regular officers respond to larger and more complex pollution reports, EPA southern metro manager Marleen Matthias said. She said EPA’s regular officers would continue to manage dust issues from the O’Grady Road, Hallam site. “The pilot aims to deliver a more localised and faster response to local small-scale waste and pollution issues. “It won’t only be about enforcement, a major
focus for the OPLEs will be providing pro-active support and compliance advice to businesses in their regions.” The trial will encourage greater co-operation between the Council and EPA, Ms Mathias said. “EPA will work with the councils to formulate work plans for the officers that meet each municipality’s local needs.” Casey councillor Damien Rosario, in welcoming the move, said it would put “more people on the ground” to tackle pollution complaints in a timely fashion. Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the state-funded program would give practical support to councils. “The new officers will complement the role of existing EPA based environment protection officers meaning more officers on the ground, more support and expert advice, and more investigations into compliance.” The 15-month program will begin in September. It is part of the State Government’s $162.5 million budgeted response over five years to the EPA inquiry’s findings.

A Springvale gym raised almost $3000 for suicide prevention through a 24-hour treadmill challenge. Anytime Fitness collected about $1800 in donations at the 28 to 29 July event, plus a further $1000 from Sandown Greyhounds. Springvale Football Club volunteered its time, and Springvale Woolworths, Mt Eliza Bakers Delight, Subway Keysborough, Supps247 and Springvale Kebab helped to keep the runners fuelled. Across Australia the event raised about $300,000 for Suicide Prevention Australia. Donations can still be made at anytimefitnessppp4spa2017.everydayhero.do/. More than 600 people took a behind-thescenes look at some of Dandenong’s most iconic buildings. Greater Dandenong Council opened the Drum Theatre, Dandenong Civic Centre and the Heritage Hill precinct on 29 and 30 July as part of Open House Melbourne. It was the first time the municipality participated in the annual event which has been held since 2008. Mayor Jim Memeti said the event exposed Dandenong to a whole new audience, with 70 per cent of the attendees hailing from outside Greater Dandenong and 39 per cent of them visiting for the first time.
Overheard in the newsroom: “So should I write that you’re open seven days or that you’re closed on Wednesdays?” A confusing exchange followed. No one ever did get to the bottom of the restaurant’s exact opening hours. A Dandenong business is one of the faces of this year’s Victorian Small Business Festival. Uncle’s Smallgoods has been a Dandenong fixture since 1994. Bert Glinka and Brendan D’Amelio acquired the store in September 2013. They both had corporate jobs that they hated and decided to sell Uncles sausages at a festival, to huge success. The elderly Uncles owners were looking to step back and put the duo to the test with a truckload of wood for the smoker before agreeing to hand over the reins. This year they launched a sausage bouquet for Valentine’s Day and were inundated with demand. Their online store is now going strong, they acquired a factory in Dandenong late last year to pursue the wholesale market, and opened Sunny and Thor in Harmony Square earlier this year.

Maintain regular check-ups for health “Everyone is so busy these days that our oral health and visits to the dentist may be forgotten,” Libby said. “But it only takes a few minutes of brushing and flossing a day to keep our teeth clean and gums healthy. “Dental Health Week is the perfect time to book a dental check-up and to teach kids about the importance of healthy eating and cleaning their teeth.” Oral Health for Busy Lives is the theme for this year’s Dental Health Week which runs from 7 to 13 August. “This year we wanted to emphasize the importance of caring for your oral hygiene every day,” said Professor David Manton, the Chair of the ADA’s Oral Health Committee. “Dental Health Week acts as a reminder to Australians to visit their local dentist regularly and to imple-
ment healthy oral practices at home.” Research has highlighted that 68 per cent of the population only visit the dentist for specific problems, rather than for regular check-ups and preventive reasons. This figure remains high despite more than 40 per cent of Australian children experiencing tooth decay and 30 per cent of Australian adults having untreated tooth decay. “Our oral health is fundamental to our overall general health and our quality of life, so it is important that we make the time to take care of our oral health despite our busy schedules,” added Professor David Manton. “Australians should be visiting the dentist proactively, rather than as a reactive measure to fix dental problems.” For more information on the Australian Dental Association or to book

As Australians’ lives grow busier, their oral health can suffer. A national survey by the Australian Dental Association (ADA) has found that 65 per cent of people hadn’t visited the dentist in more than two years, while 16 per cent said they didn’t have time to go to the dentist. ADA Dental Health Week ambassador and four-time Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer Libby Trickett knows that oral hygiene can be overlooked when people are juggling work, family and other commitments. With her hands full as a radio announcer, mental health ambassador and mother to toddler, Poppy, Libby is known for her beaming smile and still makes time to floss, brush her teeth twice a day and visit her dentist regularly.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Big door to opportunities
Innovation gives the added spark
By Casey Neill
By Casey Neill
Chyka Keebaugh turned a passion passed on from her grandmothers into an internationallyrenowned events business. SEBN and the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce hosted the Women in Business lunch at Atura Dandenong in Eumemmerring on Friday 28 July. “Today is about inspiration and empowerment by hearing from a very successful woman in business,” SEBN manager Sandra George said. Chyka is a wife, mother and owner of The Big Group. “There’s nothing I love more than hearing a room full of women talking because it usually means something wonderful is happening,” she said. She told the lunch that her parents travelled for 10 months of the year so her chalk and cheese grandmothers filled the gap. “My grandmothers were my most amazing influence,” she said. Chyka followed her love for food into a cadetship at the now-defunct Australia Hotel in Melbourne. She tackled every task and when it folded was offered a job in London. With encouragement from her parents, who didn’t like the boy she was dating, she made the leap overseas - into what turned out to be a secretarial position. She’d never typed. She left and signed up for a course at Le Cordon Bleu. It was in French and she didn’t know a word. Chyka loved every minute of working in the decoration department at Laura Ashley. She moved home and onto Rowlands for two years, catering parties for magnates the likes of Alan Bond and Christopher Skase. “It was truly an extraordinary time,” she said. “People were entertaining like they never had before.” She met her husband Bruce during this time. They together started a company called Big and Small. Their first big job was catering the opening of Melbourne precinct Southgate for 6500 people. They were 23 years old and roped in family and friends armed with business cards and company aprons to lend a hand. “The next day the phone started ringing,” she said. The Keebaughs branched out into retail and expanded their decorating offerings. Channel 10 offered the pair a cooking show but Bruce “became a robot” while filming a test run. Instead they offered Chyka a weekly segment on Channel 10’s Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton. “I loved it, it was so much fun,” she said. She’d never envisaged herself working in television.
Guest speaker Chyka Keebaugh.
“When opportunity arises it’s up to you to decide to walk through that door or to close it,” she said. But don’t regret whichever call you make, she told guests. Chyka does, however, carry some guilt about putting her two children into day care. “Having your own business and having children is so hard,” she said. “Bruce certainly didn’t have the same guilt I did.” But they’re now both “independent human beings”. Chyka’s most recent television foray was on reality show The Real Housewives of Melbourne. It was pitched to her as a show about seven successful business women. “I gullibly believed that,” she said. “It was a doorway that I went through. No regrets.” She did quickly leave the popular series. “I didn’t believe you should bring a woman down for the sake of a storyline,” she said. But it’s given her a “second career at age 48”. Chyka started a blog four years ago and is focused on her individual brand. A coffee table book, a homewares range and more are on the cards and she and Bruce are regularly managing extravagant parties in the Middle East. “Who knows how long it will last?” she said. She urged guests to take risks and be brave,
Tiffany Murray and Amanda Checken from the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce, SEBN manager Sandra George, guest speaker Chyka Keebaugh, and Greater Dandenong Council’s Marie Dinsdale and Jennifer Ebdon. and to get online and make even a “boring” business appear interesting. “You just need to embrace it because it’s the way of the future,” she said. “Who would have thought someone would pay someone to do shout-outs on social media?” Chyka also told guests to be honest leaders, to empower young people to share their ideas and advice, and to make their personal relationships a priority. “Don’t let other people judge you because it’s not their place,” she said.
South-east manufacturers are battling rising energy prices but have unique access to opportunities for innovation. The South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) held its 14th AGM at the Australian Synchrotron in Clayton on Tuesday 1 August. It welcomed a new president in Greg Northrop from AFL Telecommunications, ABeCK Group’s Peter Angelico as its new vice president, and David Collomb from Bombardier as a new board member. “I strongly believe that together we are more,” Mr Collomb said. The outgoing president and vice president, Simon Whiteley from Corex and Hilton Manufacturing’s Todd Hartley, will stay on the board. “The beginning of supply chains on-shoring that arose in the previous year has improved the outlook of many local businesses,” Mr Whiteley said in his address. He said that colloquially, data was emerging as the “oil of the future”. “To meet this development, an improvement in internet connectivity is essential,” he said. “The continued bias in the south-east NBN rollout towards residential over business continues to undermine our potential. “It is essential that the next generation of employees are upskilled to support the innovation and keep our overseas rivals at bay.” The Casey and Cardinia councils were among SEMMA’s new members in the past 12 months. Executive officer Adrian Boden said there were now six councils on board. “We are now a truly regional organisation representing manufacturers across the region,” he said. Mr Boden said skyrocketing electricity prices was a key issue that SEMMA was raising on behalf of its members. The cost for its negotiated group purchase deal had gone up 250 per cent from its previous threeyear deal. Mr Boden said there was a need for a national structured energy policy. “It’s a prime example of where politicians must work together for the greater good,” he said. “We need a quick and collaborative solution.” SEMMA and other regional groups will present information session The Future is Now and Always has Been at Dandenong’s Drum Theatre from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Tuesday 12 September. “Innovation is not something that’s going to happen in five years’ time. It will happen today,” he said. He said the research and development capabilities and knowledge available to manufacturers in the area was better than anywhere else in the world.

SPORT A rumble over Thunder’s return By Nick Creely With the Dandenong Thunder destined to return the top-flight of NPL football next year, the excitement around the rooms of George Andrews Reserve can be felt far and wide. Every challenge that has come the Thunder’s way in 2017, they have risen to the occasion. Losing their coach Giuseppe Anastasi on the eve of the season shook the club, but the new man, Gianfranco Impellizzeri, has brought a renewed energy to the club. And with just three rounds of football left to play to decide their fate, the Thunder is once again primed for promotion back to where they believe they truly belong. But who could forget last year’s pain, with the Thunder falling just a solitary point from promotion, as Kingston City fell over the line in a painstaking learning curve for the club. With that in mind, star striker Brandon Barnes is refusing to get ahead of himself, knowing all too well how quickly things can change in the game of soccer. “After last year, I don’t think anyone thinks we’ve won anything just yet - but all the boys are aware that if we win, it’s just about the points nothing’s been said around the club (about promotion) but we need to make sure we just keep winning,” he said. 2017 has seen the Thunder become an attacking powerhouse, with Barnes and Veton Korcari becoming the most dangerous duo in the game, as shown by the stunning statistics that clearly indicate they are the best side in the competition by a long margin. Add that to the brilliant Simon Colosimo in defence, Kristian Sarkies in midfield and Frazer
It's been all smiles for Dandenong Thunder in 2017, but the greatest challenge is yet to come. 170575 Picture: ROB CAREW Maclaren as goal keeper, and you’ve got a power packed side capable of doing serious damage if they are promoted as expected.
Scarily enough, Barnes - who is arguably the finest striker in the country not on an A-League roster - believes he still hasn’t hit peak form this
Golden girls kicking sand as they roll up the wins Haileybury Year 12 student Carrie Van Rensburg has brought home Gold from the 2017 Youth Commonwealth Games held in the Bahamas last month. Carrie - who attends the Keysborough campus - and her volleyball partner Rebecca won Gold against New Zealand 21-13, dominating the game from start to finish. They completed the tournament unbeaten and didn’t drop a single set throughout the games in what is an outstanding achievement. It all started with a victory over England before victories over the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tabago and Rwanda seeing them face the Kiwi’s for the Gold Medal. “Going into the match Bec and I were very nervous, we had watched the Kiwis throughout the tournament and knew they would be our toughest rivals,” Carrie said. “Before our game Bec and I went to the locker room and told each other exactly what we are going to do: be aggressive, be loud and be present. “Once we got into our warm up all the nerves had disappeared and we were ready to play from the first touch of the ball.” Carrie explained how there are always ups and downs throughout what was a gruelling tournament. “Some games were better than others but for the most part I am happy with my consistency,” she explained. “I knew if I was confident my skills would follow, so it was more trying to get my mindset in the right place more than anything.” The volleyball guns have been training for the Youth Commonwealth Games for a year. “Gold was always our goal and its awesome that we were able to achieve it,” Carrie said. Carrie explained that now the games are over, she needs to focus on finishing Year 12, but after completing her studies she is looking to go to Europe to play on the tour. “I just want to get as many different experiences playing as possible and what’s better than on the different beaches of Europe,” she said.
season despite sitting over 10 goals in front of the next best in the competition. Despite enjoying another prolific season as the main man at the Thunder, Barnes has yet to reach his 2016 form, where he scored a remarkable eight goals in a game against Nunawading. “I look back on this season so far, and I’m probably a bit harsh on myself, but I’m not really happy with how I’ve done - I’ve had a bit of a target that I’ve kept to myself this year and I’m a little bit off at the minute, but there’s still three games to go and I will get back on track and get back to where I should be,” he said. “I feel like my form has not dropped, but I haven’t got to where I’d like it to be - I’ve obviously had a baby recently so I’ve had a few things on my mind there with my family. “But I’m obviously the top goal scorer by about 10 goals even though I’m not in the best form which probably shows a lot about myself, so I’m still doing what I can for the boys on the weekends. “It’s probably a credit to myself really.” After joining the Thunder at the beginning of 2016, the club at George Andrews Reserve has hardly lost a game with him as the star. After fielding big money offers at the end of 2016, the man who won the ‘Golden Boot’ last year stuck fat with the club, desperate to get the club back to the top-flight after being relegated at the end of 2015. “The two seasons I’ve been here now, the combination of players and the team is unbelievable and I feel it edges our team last year,” Barnes said. “Even the staff behind the scenes and people on the board is just awesome - it’s a great place to be.”
Sticky wickets for new soil In an interesting turn of events in the Dandenong District Cricket Association, all turf wicket tables are set to be replaced in February and March 2018. The DDCA has advised all clubs - except clubs in the Casey and Kingston areas - that the City of Greater Dandenong no longer has Portland Soil available for the turf wickets. This means that all wickets with this soil will be replaced by Black Wicket Soil from Hume Turf. There is set to be an interruption to cricket for the following DDCA turf grounds: February - Coomoora Reserve (Coomoora) and Wachter Reserve (Parkmore Pirates) will have no cricket played for the last three rounds and finals. March - Alex Nelson Reserve (Springvale South), Parkfield Reserve (Parkfield), Rowley Allen Reserve (Keysborough) and Springvale Reserve (Springvale) will be unavailable for the 2017/18 finals. All DDCA clubs outside the Greater Dandenong area, for example Narre Warren in the Casey region and Dingley in the Kingston City, will need to replace their turf wickets if they are using the Portland Soil. In other news around the DDCA, new Turf 1 club St Mary’s have added a star recruit to its ranks, with Sri-Lankan firstclass cricketer Kaushalya Gajasinghe signing on as a playing-coach for 2017/18. He will replace last year’s premiership winning captain-coach Jake Needham, who will not be returning to the club after securing employment in the UK. Gajasinghe, 25, has played 46 first-class matches as well as representing Sri Lanka at Under-19 level and adds instant star power to the side. Another DDCA Turf 1 club, Cranbourne, is on the verge of announcing their new captain for the 2017/18 season, after the loss of Steven Spoljaric to Springvale South.

Aston Dee Bee through Aston Dee Bee forced his way into next Thursday’s Victorian National Sprint final with a professional heat win last Thursday night at Sandown Park. He jumped at a price of $3.20 in a wide open market that reflected the quality of the field taking part in one of the highlights of the state’s greyhound racing calendar. Raw Ability led throughout the early stages before Worm Burner made his presence felt up front. The pair collided turning for home which allowed Aston Dee Bee to take a vital race winning lead. The final margin was one and a half lengths from kennel mate Bewildering, Vostok and Hit The Highway who also advance to next week’s final too. Luke Thompson, son of trainer Seona Thompson, said the box draw played a pivotal role in Aston Dee Bee’s win. “He was lucky he had box one. Worm Burner looked like he was going to be hard to beat but unfortunately there was a bit of trouble,” Thompson explained. Being on the rail made all the difference for Aston Dee Bee tonight.” Earlier on, star veteran Bruce Tycoon snared heat one at the lucrative starting price of $27. A stalwart of the Rob Britton kennel, Bruce Tycoon held firm on the rail through the first turn before he matched motors with the leader Lucky Chap down the back. Bruce’s position on the fence proved vital as he edged out Lucky Chap late and excelled away to win by 2 and a half lengths in 29.59, the fastest of the two heats. Runner-up Lucky Chap, Extreme Magic and Black Mumbo also gained a spot in next week’s decider, which will be an exciting spectacle. The winner of next Thursday night’s final will represent Victoria in the Group 1 National Sprint final at Albion Park on Friday 25 August.

Top-of-the-table Rangers hold Tornadoes at bay By Nick Creely SEABL REVIEW - ROUND 18 A dominant 86-58 victory to the Dandenong Rangers Women’s side on Saturday evening has seen the Rangers finish the home-and-away season in top spot. At Dandenong Stadium, the Rangers clashed with Launceston Tornadoes and were never headed after a dominant 23-13 opening quarter. That lead grew legs to 23 at half time, and despite some fight in the third quarter the Tornadoes were completely outclassed in a brilliant 19-6 last quarter, with the Rangers shooting hot and finding vital momentum heading into the finals. The usual suspects in Lauren Scherf (23 points, 15 rebounds), Amelia Todhunter (16 points) and Rosie Fadljevic (10 points, five rebounds) were all in top-notch form for the home side. The Rangers finish the 22 match home-andaway season with a 15-7 record and a percentage of 115.05, and will now have a big finals series
Dandenong to face the Heat
Amelia Todhunter dropped 16 points in Saturday’s victory. 166958 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS ahead of them starting next week. Other results saw Melbourne defeat Bendigo 76-65, Hobart beat Frankston 87-74 and Ballarat just edge Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence 94-90. Meanwhile, Dandenong’s Men team were unable to contain a rampaging final quarter blitz from
the North West Tasmania Thunder, going down 97-108 in their final home-and-away clash of the season on Saturday night. In what was a bizarre turn of events, play had to be postponed until 9pm due to travel issues for the Thunder, who had their flight delayed. The game was a preview of next week’s much anticipated final the between the two sides, and it was the home side who started slowly, 20-27. A more disciplined and sharpshooting Dandenong then turned the screws in the second quarter to hold a narrow half time margin, scores remained level 65-65 heading into the final quarter. But an inspired 43-32 final quarter from the Thunder, inspired by the monumental efforts of Ahmad Starks (31 points, 11 assists) got the visitors over the line. Lucas Barker (21 points, six rebounds) played a strong game for the Rangers. In another strong season for the men in green, they finish with a 16-8 record and in third spot, and will face the Thunder once again in a final next week.
The Victorian Premier Cricket fixtures have been released, with Dandenong set to travel to face Frankston in the opening round on 7 October. After the Panthers disappointingly lost to Melbourne in the semis last season, they will be desperate to get their season off on the right foot against last year’s 17th placed Heat. In total, the Panthers will play nine home matches at Shepley Oval - including two Twenty20’s against Prahran and reigning premiers Fitzroy-Doncaster. It’s been a historic off-season for Dandenong, with both the men’s and women’s sides merging into one club in what has been described as a landmark move for elite cricket in the south-east. So far this off-season, the Panthers have added St Kilda left-arm quick Jak Jowett, while Darren Pattinson will be returning to the club to assist the bowlers.

Local derby punctuated by persistent Thunder strikes By Nick Creely NPL2 East REVIEW - ROUND 16 CATCH UP The story may be that the Dandenong Thunder rocked past Dandenong City 2-1 in a powerful second half blitz, but Saturday’s clash at Frank Holohan Reserve was so much more than the final score line suggests. The Thunder claimed the coveted ‘Jim Memeti Cup’, dedicated to Dandenong’s soccer loving mayor for the second time for the season. And the healthy crowd also came to witness the moment the Thunder all but assured their promotion into the top tier of NPL football in 2018. They now surge seven points clear of the City in second, but it was a game that didn’t go all to plan right from the start for both sides. City were rocked by the late withdrawal of star defender James Kelly - one of their most important players so far in 2017. Then, only 20 minutes into the first half, the 32 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 7 August, 2017
City were forced to make wholesale changes with another star, Milicevic, also going down injured and not returning to the field. But it didn’t stop the City from getting their enthusiastic crowd into the game, with Daniel Visevic finding the back of the net in the 31st minute to send Frank Holohan into raptures. Some strong defensive work from the City restricted Thunder strikers Brandon Barnes and Veton Korcari from working their magic, and suddenly the top-of-the-ladder visitors looked on the back foot. Going into half time, the undermanned City were 1-0 off and eyeing off a season defining victory. With everything on the line for both sides, the first part of the second half was a cracker, but there was always a feeling the Thunder’s strikepower would eventually break the game open. But everytime it looked likely the Thunder would capitalise on one of their many attacking forays, the brave City defenders stood firm. But a piece of magic from none other than
Barnes finally got the Thunder on the board in the 70th minute. Despite looking out of position, Barnes - who was outside the box - used his left boot to crash a ball off the post and into the net, equaling the scores at 1-1. Desperation crept in for both sides who were eager to land the finishing blow, and once again it was with minutes to play that the Thunder stood up and found the back of the net. In the 88th minute, Samuel Catherine tapped the ball home to stun the crowd and seal a 2-1 victory. The City were brave, and with an undermanned and under siege defense, would most certainly walk off the field with their heads held high. But it appears the Thunder will now return to the top ranks after two years in the wilderness, Dandenong Thunder celebrate a monumental victory and boy do they look like making a splash in 2018. on Saturday. 171304 Picture: ROB CAREW

Shaky Bulls leave the door ajar By Nick Creely JOURNAL FOOTBALL REVIEW EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW - ROUND 15 Noble Park’s season is now hanging in the balance after yet another agonising defeat on Saturday to Doncaster, 6.8(44) to 7.6(48). Mick Fogarty’s men - who started the season like a house on fire - now remain in fifth position, only on percentage, with three matches to go, and have lost their past two outings. Against the wind in the first quarter the Bulls managed to quell the Sharks to an extent, holding them to just three goals, although they failed to kick a goal themselves. Finding a bit more spark in the second quarter, superstar Sam Monaghan (two goals) helped claw the hosts back into the game somewhat, but still faced a 12-point deficit into half time. But another goalless quarter meant the Bulls would have to scramble to win in the last, with the Sharks opening up a game high 23-point margin with a quarter left to play. And despite roaring home with a four-goal to one last quarter, the Bulls fell short of the fourth placed Sharks, leaving the door ajar for a late season swoop by either Blackburn or Norwood. The Bulls need to respond when they travel to face third placed Balwyn on Saturday. SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE DIVISION 2 - ROUND 17 A rarely troubled Keysborough helped themselves to a workmanlike 15-point victory over Springvale Districts, 9.11(65) to 7.8(50). The third placed Burras, off the back of another Tim Werner (two goals) special, led at every change despite a plucky Demons’ lineup refusing to go away. Perennial goal kicker Stefan Feehan (four goals) was outstanding for the visitors, and took his tally up to 34 for the season. The finals bound Burras travel to play Hampton at Peterson Street on Saturday, while Spring-

DIVISION 3 - ROUND 16 Flicking the switch in a dominant six-goal third quarter, the Doveton Eagles smashed Carrum-Patterson Lakes by 38 points at Power Reserve on Saturday. After leading by 21 points in an inaccurate first half, the Eagles found another gear in the third kicking 6.2 to just 1.0 to run away with the contest in stunning fashion, 15.13(103) to 9.11(65).
Corrie Wilson racked yet another best-afield performance for the Eagles, while Enyate Samadi (three goals) was equally impressive. Meanwhile, Endeavour Hills paid for its horrible inaccuracy, losing to Black Rock by 10-points at McDonald Reserve, 8.13(61) to 5.21(51). Kicking 1.6 in the first quarter, the Eagles were woeful in front of goal, kicking 4.15 in the remaining three quarters. In other matches, Sandown 1.3(9) were never
going to threaten Hallam 28.12(180), Dandenong 9.11(65) were outplayed by Lyndale 23.13(151), Lyndhurst 11.9(75) scored an away win over Moorabbin 7.6(48) and Ashwood 14.14(98) defeated South Yarra 6.10(46). With just two rounds left to play the current top five is: Hallam, Ashwood, Doveton Eagles, Endeavour Hills and Black Rock.
Stingrays in a nasty mood against the Pioneers By Nick Creely TAC CUP - REVIEW - ROUND 15 Back at their Shepley Oval fortress, the Dandenong Stingrays expectedly dispatched the bottom placed Bendigo Pioneers by a whopping 89-points on a windy Saturday afternoon. After last week’s gut-wrenching two-point loss to Gippsland Power, the ‘Rays - desperate to get their top four hopes back on track - where in no mood to muck around right from the start. With a six-goal breeze favoring the ‘Rays in the opening term, the home side were on the board almost instantly through big man Bailey Williams. Quick goals to Finlay Bayne, Jamie Plumridge and Jai Nanscawen, who kicked a ripper out of a forward 50 stoppage, suddenly saw the home side lead 30 to 0 after just 10 minutes of play. They didn’t stop there, with the ‘Rays banging on another four goals and three behinds in the final twenty minutes to almost ice the game at quarter time - 51-points ahead of a clearly de-
jected Pioneers outfit. The ‘Rays - off the back of their usual suspects in midfield jet Hunter Clark, Riley D’Arcy (four goals), Nanscawen (two goals) and skipper Josh Bateman - added further pain, slamming on another 10 goals in the next two quarters to take an ominous 81-point lead into the final change. After a goal early in the final term to young forward Bayne, the feeling was well and truly out of the game, with the ‘Rays significantly taking the foot off the pedal. But it was a complete performance from a team just building nicely at the right time of the season. Clark - who was arguably best afield in last week’s thriller - once again starred through the midfield, and showed he can impact the scoreboard with another couple of classy goals. But apart from Clark, who was clearly the most dominant player on the park, the ‘Rays were well rounded all over the field, with Riley Bowman and Williams dominating the ruck, D’Arcy outmuscling the defenders up forward and sturdy
defender Angus Paterson ensuring there would be no defensive lapses. The ‘Rays will hit the road in Round 16 with a clash against the Greater Western Victoria Rebels in Ballarat. The Rebels sit second last in what has been a tough season, with the ‘Rays looking to continue their impressive build into the finals.

By Vani Naidoo, Marque Motoring The Australian love affair with dual-cab utes shows no sign of losing that fresh flush of romance with the vehicle’s ability to service both work and family commitments a major drawcard. The segment is highly competitive filled with all manner of temptations including utes that look like utes but drives like cars (well, almost), utes that have such a premium feel you couldn’t imagine getting it dusty, utes that are better offroad, those that are better on road, utes that can haul heavy trailers, others that would battle with an unbraked trailer, big and small, simple and swish. You get the picture… It is a lucrative market and Holden’s Colorado was not catching the eye. So the Colorado has received a major overhaul, both inside and out, with the entire range from single cab to crew cab and space cab in between, getting a makeover. But is it enough to turn the Colorado from a wallflower to the belle of the ball? We put the dual-cab 4x4 to the test. This Colorado is bolder and brasher than the one it replaces with a more aggressive stance, better form and a complementary new headlight design. It is important to Holden that the Colorado appeals to premium pickup buyers too and has styled it accordingly. The interior is a reflection of that philosophy too, with the new Colorado presenting a more cohesive design and the fit and finish to match. There is still an abundance of plastic, mind you, just with a softer touch especially at those important touchpoints. The dash itself is simple but effective with the size of the buttons and dials in keeping with the fact that this is a ute and also considerately placed close to reach.
The much-improved Holden Colorado dual-cab ute is now likely to catch the eye.
Model range Price: from $52,690 (plus on-road costs)
The steering wheel has the controls you use most but the feel in the hand is more practicality than premium. The Colorado has never battled with space and this iteration is true to that with plenty of head, leg and wriggle room wherever you sit in the dual-cab ute. The rear pew is flatter than we like but is happy to accommodate three in relative comfort. No air vents back there though which is an annoying oversight. Cabin storage is available but not abundant. The centre console bin, glovebox and deep door pockets are more than useful but the front double cup holders are poorly placed and whatever happened to the retracting cup holders that were fitted just under the air vents? Remote start, 18-inch alloys and auto headlights and wipers are among the standard fare as
well as a reversing camera, powered driver’s seat, LED tail lights and a soft tonneau cover. The tray is deep and long - the size dependent on the style of Colorado you choose - with payload in the LTZ dual-cab just over 1000kg. Towing capacity is 3500kg braked and 750kg unbraked which is in line with competitors. The LTZ features Holden’s latest generation MyLink infotainment system with an 8.0-inch colour touchscreen with smartphone mirroring through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a seven-speaker audio system, DAB+ digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity with USB capability. Phone pairing is simple and the MyLink system is intuitive and easy to use with a good graphics package. The screen is a bit fuzzy at night though which also affects the picture shown by the reverse camera. There is only one engine available across the range - a lusty four-cylinder 2.8-litre turbo-diesel paired with a six-speed manual transmission or six-speed automatic for $2200 more. The combination produces 147kW of power and 440Nm of torque in the manual version and 500Nm in the auto. That most of that torque is available from 2000rpm is one of the reasons the Colorado has the oomph needed when overtaking or hauling a load, even up a steep climb. Five star safety comes courtesy of, amongst others, seven airbags, traction and stability control, trailer sway control and hill-start assist. The LTZ also has forward collision alert, tyre pressure monitoring and lane departure warning to help you negate the perils of modern-day driving attitudes. To arrange a test drive contact Barry Bourke Holden, 755 Princes Highway, Berwick, phone 9707 2222.
