Police, ACCC, consumer affairs called in over ads

Real estate warfare

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

ALLEGATIONS of secret commissions to Geelong real estate agents have been referred to Victoria Police and consumer affairs watchdogs. The allegations were included in a $1.4 million County Court writ lodged by MMP Greater Geelong, publishers of The Weekly Review, against Hayeswinckle Real Estate. The writ alleges Hayeswinckle was induced to break a contract with the Review to switch its advertising to the Geelong Advertiser. MMP communications director John

Hine said the company had made a complaint about the alleged secret commissions to the police fraud squad, Consumer Affairs Victoria and the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC). The Estate Agents Act prohibits agents from retaining rebates or discounts on any goods or services, such as advertising. Rebates or the value of any gifts must be returned to the vendor. “Hayeswinckle vendors have every right to pursue their agent for the rebates we allege he has received from the Advertiser,” Mr Hine said.

The newspaper war broke out late last year between the News Ltd’s Advertiser and the Review over real estate advertising. The Review, part owned by Fairfax Media, signed 25 of Geelong’s real estate agencies to become shareholders in the publication, receiving fixed dividends for set amounts of advertising spend. The writ alleges Hayeswinckle was contracted to spend $470,400 annually in the Review but broke the contract at the behest of News Ltd, receiving $50,000 a year, hospitality and a diamond ring from the Advertiser.

Hayeswinckle also received “uncommercial discounting and the waiver or postponement of long overdue debt”, according to the statement of claim. Mr Hine said the Advertiser’s attempt to claw back lost revenue was “no surprise”. “What they have done is what we expected them to do ... for him (Mr Hayes) to deny this will end him up in a witness box in court and he will look silly.” Mr Hine said the Review entered the Geelong market at the invitation of a group of real estate agents because the Advertiser’s pricing was “ridiculous”.

Real estate warfare over ad deals From page 1 “They were charging $1600 a page before we launched, now they’re offering $750 a page,” he said. “We turned it from a profitable to a loss-making business. “We can understand why the Advertiser is so desperately trying to resuscitate the corpse.” Hayeswinckle managing director Danny Hayes said he was caught in a media war. “I’m being bullied into being told I can’t sell into the Geelong Advertiser or offer that product and I have a moral issue with that. “I offer my vendors their marketing options. I can’t make people choose where to spend

lose money on his Review shareholding dividend to support vendor marketing choice. “It’s clear (they) have to make an example of me so the other agents think twice about doing what I’ve done but I’m comfortable with our legal stance. “This thing’s a lot bigger than me.,” Mr Hayes said. “The contract doesn’t stipulate that I cannot offer other print media. It’s got ACCC written all over it.” A News Ltd spokesperson said any suggestion of improper behaviour on the Advertiser’s behalf was “ridiculous”. The Independent does not make any suggestion of wrongdoing by any party.

Barwon Health drawn into ‘fake posts’ probe By NOEL MURPHY BARWON Health, already facing bed and surgery reductions from Gillard Government funding cuts, has been embroiled in a pro-Labor fake online messages scandal. Labor-friendly comments posted with the federal parliamentary computer network about Barwon Health are under investigation by Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS). The investigation also covers comments from the network about Colac Area Health, Bulla Dairy Foods and other organisations.

At least nine false names were reportedly used on the one computer under the guises of employees at the various organisations. Liberal senator Michael Ronaldson believed “political operatives” in parliament were “secretly campaigning’’ for the federal seat of Corangamite. Labor’s Darren Cheeseman holds Corangamite with Australia’s narrowest federal margin. “The Department of Parliamentary Services has indicated that, in some cases, the usage by individuals is clear,” Senator Ronaldson told the Independent this week.

“The department has taken on notice and will report back to the committee what the protocol will be if the site is identified as a site that potentially belongs to a member or a senator or their office.” Mr Cheeseman had not returned the Independent’s repeated calls for comment when the paper went to press. The fake online message story emerged in the Colac Herald last week, prompting Mr Ronaldson to attack the Gillard Government’s recent health cuts. Barwon Health is closing 24 beds

and its elective surgery waiting times will blow out by 100 per cent. Colac Area Health has been forced to close its emergency department at night, prompting community outrage. DPS head Carol Mills told a parliamentary committee any offending staff member would present a “code of conduct issue”. “If it was identified as a site that potentially belongs to a member or a senator or their office, we would have to look at that separately,’’ she said. The investigation is expected to report next week.

New-look Cats head west for cup opener to season By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG coach Chris Scott plans to use the early NAB Cup rounds to reignite his team’s chemistry following a swag of off-season acquisitions. “We’ve effectively brought in seven or eight players from the squad that was available last year,” Scott said. Geelong enlisted injury-prone North Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh, veteran Melbourne defender Jared Rivers and exciting Gold Coast onballer Josh Caddy during the off-season. The Cats actively recruited from other clubs in a change from their development philosophy of the past few seasons. “When you consider Caddy, McIntosh and Rivers plus Josh Cowan, Travis Varcoe and Nathan Vardy should be back, that’s a big percentage of the team that wasn’t available last year,” Scott said. “And while those guys aren’t all certainties to be in our best 22, they’re close.” The Cats play West Coast and Fremantle in the opening round robin format of the NAB Cup at Subiaco on Saturday. “It’s a ground we haven’t played all that well at even though we’ve had some close results,” Scott said. “We’re looking to play well, first and foremost, and looking to get some experience over in Perth. “We only play there once this year but traditionally we play there twice, so it’s really important you play your very best football against the best teams in the hardest venues and both the Perth teams and Subiaco are tough. “We’d also like to see some of our young players, not only our really inexperienced players but our

In brief Burglars hunted POLICE want to question two men who drove a yellow and blue van about burgled properties in central Geelong. Police believed the men were involved in an attempted burglary of a shop on Ryrie St about 3am on January 29 before successfully breaking into a Mercer St premises half an hour later.

New ‘avenue’ A 13km “avenue” of about 50,000 trees, shrubs and bushes will carry pedestrians and cyclist from Corio near Geelong’s ring road to Church St in Hamlyn Heights, council has announced. Council said the Greenway Project would create a canopy over Ted Wilson Trail, giving users the impression of a “tunnel effect” as they travelled.

Health injection STATE and federal governments has announced funding injections for Barwon Health as it reels from earlier cuts that forced bed closures and waiting list revisions. State Government will give Barwon Health $500,000 for specialist staff to deal with “alcohol and drug-related presentations”, while Canberra will supply $2.2 million in extra funding for eight beds and treatment of 70 extra emergency patients.

Headquarters push GEELONG should be national headquarters rather than just a “launch site” for a proposed National Disability Insurance Scheme, according to Mayor Keith Fagg. He said council had proposed the city as the headquarters based on attributes such as Geelong’s disability sector expertise, mix of infrastructure and “great lifestyle” for attracting and retaining staff.

Park village KARDINIA Park will house an Australian Masters Games “village” to service 8000-plus participants and volunteers, according to organisers. They said the village, with Avalon Airport as naming rights sponsor, would host opening and closing ceremonies and potentially some sports as part of the 14th annual games in October.

Bullying officer UNHAPPY CHAPPY: Paul Chapman, left, has an apparent finger injury checked at training this week. Picture: GREG WANE 93942 second, third and fourth year players who haven’t had much of an opportunity. “There are a few of them we’ll be pushing really hard for round one while some of the older players tend to manage themselves through the NAB Cup. “We’ve got a big group of youngish players that need to be playing close to their best straight away to press their case.”

Missing from the opening round will be James Kelly, Paul Chapman, Dawson Simpson and Josh Hunt as they recover from injuries or illness. Recruit Hamish McIntosh had arthroscopic knee surgery this week and will be sidelined for two or three weeks, Scott said. Training staff would investigate the Cats’ spate of foot injuries to discover whether they had a common cause, he said.

GROVEDALE Primary School will be among the first in Victoria to have a “welfare officer”, state Education Minister Martin Dixon has announced. He said State Government would employ 90 of the officers in schools across Victoria to “help stamp out bullying and provide additional support to students and families”.

Jetty works POINT Lonsdale Jetty has entered the final stages of a $600,000 upgrade project, Parks Victoria has announced. A spokesperson said the jetty would close temporarily for works during the next fortnight but reopen in evenings and on weekends. 15-02-13

Developers renew creek push By NOEL MURPHY TORQUAY’S land war is heating up sharply again, with Christian College and developer Amex ramping up their campaign to have the town’s west approved for housing and a new school. In a flyer to school parents, Christian College has accused Surf Coast Shire of an “incomprehensible” lack of support and reprised Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s attack on it as “the most incompetent (local council) in the state”. Amex has been soliciting signed

statements from Torquay residents on their opinions about the council, councillors and development. The new campaign has begun as the shire exhibits its draft C66 amendment, ruling out housing west of Duffields Rd in Spring Creek. The Christian College flyer asked “parents, relatives, friends and members of the Surf Coast community” to actively support the school bid. “We believe the silent majority is not being heard on this issue,” the flyer stated.

“To defer allowing the process for a new school to even commence is simply nonsensical.” The school argued it had 300 children from the Surf Coast area travelling into Geelong to attend the college’s Highton campus. The school restated its arguments the proposed site had been designated “future urban growth” since 1980. Shire planning officers had told the college the site “met all the requirements for a school” and that the proposed cam-

pus fitted within previous shire development plans. Cr David Bell, previously an outspoken critic of developing the western Spring Creek area, told the Independent he understood the college’s case but said the town had changed significantly since 1980. “To jump in and say ‘Just build it’, that’s not sensible planning. The decision we take now will affect the town and how it grows for the next 30 years. “I’m sick of people harping on.

“Every community has a right to its say in planning. “This isn’t about just 300 kids but 11,000 people.” A spokesperson for Amex, proponent of a Torquay Green residential development, said the survey was a way to “better-understand community needs and concerns’’. The family behind the company had a “strong track record in high quality, sustainable, community focused land development”, he said.

Rentals ‘in clear’

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

A GEELONG rental business has avoided an Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) undertaking over unfair contracts. Household goods supplier Mr Rental Australia, which has a Ryrie St franchise, will have to refund more than $300,000 to 1560 customers nationally after ASIC ruled it had charged an unfair fee for terminating agreements early. Geelong franchisee Piyush Goyal said his customers needn’t worry as he had never charged the fee since opening his store a year ago. 1063301-RMB07-13

3000-plus entries make multisport a ‘huge success’ By MICHELLE HERBISON GEELONG Multisport Festival attracted more than 3000 participants over an “extremely successful” three days, according to organisers. USM Events’ Courtney Akrigg praised the Geelong community for its “outstanding” support last weekend. “The event sidelines were filled with cheering friends, families and supporters. There was a fantastic and friendly vibe around the town. “The accommodation houses, cafes and restaurants were busy and the

waterfront was very much alive.” As part of the event, a Geelong Independent Superkidz Triathlon involved an enthusiastic field of children making a splash with a swim, ride and run over a specially-designed kids’ course. Milan Eliadis, 9, crossed the line with a big smile and a sprint finish. “It was so much fun,” she said. “It’s my third triathlon now and I can’t wait to do more.” Each Independent Superkidz finisher was awarded with a commemo-

rative medal and a T-shirt. Independent managing editor Tony Galpin was thrilled to be involved in the community event helping kids participate in such a fantastic sport. “The Superkidz triathlon was all about children having a go. It was great to see so many kids having fun and with so many people out here supporting.” Local Geelong triathlete Peter Kerr won an Australian championship in the event’s URBAN Geelong ITU Sprint Triathlon Oceania Cup, finishing behind Frenchman Gregory

Rouault and Kiwi Tony Dodds. “I’m rapt to have come third up against those guys,” Kerr said. Australian Christian Kemp ran away from a world-class field to claim his second major victory in the festival’s URBAN Geelong Long Course event. Kemp has faced struggle to return to fill fitness after nearly tearing his calf from the bone in 2011. “I’m stoked,” he said. “Two out of two after a couple of terrible years - I’m just so happy.”

A BOTTLENECK slide guitar concert will offer Drysdale Festival of Glass exhibitors a social event in the region, according to organisers. Portarlington restaurant Harvester Moon’s Bernard Reed said local guitarist Alister Turrill would entertain festival exhibitors on Saturday night before Sunday’s Festival of Glass. “The Festival of Glass committee wanted to hold something so the exhibitors can come and have a social night out before the event started on Sunday,” Mr Reed said. Mr Reed said Turrill would use an exhibitormade bottleneck slide that would be auctioned at the end of the night along with other products, with funds donated to the festival committee. Mr Reed, daughter Tessa and son William would join Turrill to perform blues standards and contemporary covers. Drysdale Festival of Glass committee chair Doug Carson said the festival would host eight more exhibitors than last year. “Some are doing demonstrations like copper enamelling and stuff we haven’t seen before.” Drysdale Festival of Glass will showcase local and visiting glass artists at Bellarine Secondary College Sports Centre, Peninsula Dve, between 10am and 4pm Sunday.

BARWON Heads’ traders group will seek support from the town’s community association to improve parking, traffic and safety issues. Barwon Heads Traders and Tourism Association spokesperson Bernard Napthine said his group would next week present for discussion its set of priority projects for the town to Barwon Heads Association. “With the two organisations speaking together perhaps there’s more chance we’ll get things happening,” Mr Napthine said.

A survey of traders last year produced the list of goals for immediate, medium-term and longterm action. “We thought that because some of the answers were not just traders issues we should meet with BHA to see which things we’d be able to work on together,” Mr Napthine said. Immediate goals included installing permanent security cameras at both ends of Hitchcock Ave and a permanent tourist information van during summer. Medium-term ideas included using the town’s existing kindergarten site for car parking after

the kinder was removed and development of a “pop-up” business policy. Long-term actions included a walking trails project and streetscape works. Barwon Heads Association president Judith Brooks welcomed the discussions. “Most people would agree we have issues with traffic and civic pride in the town.” Ward councillor Andy Richards called the ideas “sensible”. “I’ll go through them with the traders and council officers to see what we can do and in what timeframe.”

Mr Carson said the event would encourage visitors to enter Drysdale to purchase coffee and food, providing support for the town’s traders. “Last year we got such a lot of good feedback from the traders in town. It was a fantastic day for people poking around Drysdale.” Drysdale Festival of Glass will showcase local and visiting glass artists at Bellarine Secondary College Sports Centre, Peninsula Dve, between 10am and 4pm Sunday.

Motorcyclists have 38 times the risk of serious injury.

‘Knot’ so usual for waterfront

By NOEL MURPHY

MYSTERY MAN: The “Phanton Knotter” installs more of his handiwork on a waterfront bollard.

GOT KNOTTED: The mysterious knots have been delighting passers-by on Geelong’s waterfront. Pictures: GREG WANE 93981 “Two or three people did and it’s taken off from there.’’ PK, who lives in inner-suburban Geelong, said his knots were both a bit of fun and a bit of therapy for hands he damaged when playing football as a younger man. “There are thousands of knots and I’m impressed with one

GEELONG

I developed myself,’’ he said. “It started out as a racking knot we used as a bit of fendering on barges so they didn’t hit the wharf. I added three or four movements to add some bulk. “I’m told it looks just like a trilobite, an animal form found in fossils. I’d like to credit that.”

GEELONG’S “Phantom Knotter’’ has hitched, looped and shanked the city’s waterfront in a frenzy that’s roping in newcomers daily. PK, as he’s also been dubbed, has become an overnight Facebook sensation with fans posting shots of curious and intricate knots he’s hooked and slipped and rolled at numerous sites along the city’s shoreline. The Phantom Knotter, who has targeted posts and poles, bollards, even sculptures, told the Independent he had installed more than 100 rope knots around town. “It’s a bit of novelty and a bit of fun,’’ he said, declining to reveal his identity “just yet’’. “A lot of the knots I put on you can slip off and take away. If they cut them off that’s great too – I like it if people take them as souvenirs. “I’m a member of the International Guild of Knot Tiers and as part of that you try to encourage people to learn about knots.’’ The Phantom Knotter emerged on Facebook page Geelong. He was aware his knots were generating considerable interest. “I came out of the shipping industry,” he said. “I’ve been teaching my grandkids. My grandson’s fairly good and my granddaughter knows how to splice three-strand bits. “It all started when we were out fishing. My granddaughter said ‘I’ll tie a knot out here and see if anyone notices it’.

DRAFT ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY

GEELONG CYCLING CLUB CRITERIUM

The City of Greater Geelong is working on a new Road Safety Strategy. This will guide local partnership activities that aim to reduce road crashes and road trauma.

SATURDAY 23 FEBRUARY

The Draft Geelong Road Safety Strategy can be viewed at the City’s Customer Service Centres from Monday 11 February until Thursday 28 March and on our website www.geelongaustralia.com.au under the “Have Your Say” section.

The Geelong Cycling Club will be holding a cycling race in the Ocean Grove Industrial Estate on Saturday 23rd February 2013. Access to Sinclair St, Everist Rd and Marine Pde will be closed to vehicle traffic between 5pm and 8.30pm.

A CANCER patient left feeling like a “freak” because she is unable to pay for cosmetic surgery says her condition is worsening. Brenda Hoad, 56, of Hamlyn Heights, owes $6000 for operations so far but must pay Barwon Health $3500 up front before she can have surgery to fix a gaping hole in her half-built nose. “The packing in my nose is starting to rot and the fluid seeping out is starting to have a smell,’’ she told the Independent. As a US citizen, Mrs Hoad is ineligible for Medicare benefits. She said she was unable to strike a repayment scheme with Barwon Health, accusing the service of holding her health to ransom. The Independent revealed her plight three weeks ago. “This is now affecting my overall health. I find it hard to sleep and I have constant headaches now,’’ Ms Hoad said. “My eyes go blurry which means I can’t see when they do, which in turn means I need to shut my eyes to get it to go away.

Exotic taste of orchid addicts ORCHIDS are addictive, according to members of Geelong Orchid and Indoor Plant Club. Just not in the same way as other addictive foliage more usually ingested - these addicts can’t stop collecting and growing more and more of the exotic plant. “You start with a couple, get a few more and before you know it you’re looking for them everywhere,” club secretary Judy Dietrich confided. Fellow member Alf Appleyard agreed. “Anywhere you go you have to include side trips to check out more orchids,” he added. “You find yourself chasing garage sales if they advertise plants to check for orchids. You get so you can spot an orchid at 100 paces. “We’re like bees to the honey pot.” Club members confessed they had around 2000 various orchid plants at different stages of development. “There are more than 30,000 species of orchids worldwide. Orchids have been around a long time,” Judy explained. “There was a time when orchids had their own economy, similar to the historical European tulip economy, when prices of the floral plants skyrocketed.

“Orchids are the most documented of any plant in history through the Kew Botanical Gardens in England.” Judy said orchids were unique for their labellum, or lip, one of the petals that takes on a distinctive shape. They also had a reputation as being rare and difficult to grow, she conceded, but anyone could produce colourful specimens. “We run a new growers group, just on an informal basis, where you can get problems solved and pick up valuable information and tips. “We often visit other growers and learn from them and you can keep up with research and trends. “The group also holds a plant clinic where you can bring along your orchids and get advice.” The club has monthly meetings at Geelong Botanical Gardens, usually featuring a guest speaker, a display and a competition so members can enter their latest prize plant. “We like to take them in and show them off,” Judy laughed.

ADDICTIVE: Orchids have a special allure, according to members of the Geelong club. The club’s regular plants sales were also popular, she said. “You might struggle a bit if there was no club to support you. You can find out so much information.” The club also has two orchid shows a year in winter and spring. Judy said the club hoped to host a Country Challenge for its 50th anniversary in 2015, while members always visited an annual Melbourne Orchid Spectacular. She asked anyone wanting more information to phone her on 5229 5477.

Buckets& Bouquets BOUQUETS to The Authentic Gardener’s Meredith for a creative design and advice to suit my budget and garden style. She has given me a beautiful, easy-care and often-admired garden. Happy Gardener, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to the person who handed in my wallet at Otway Fly and to the staff and police who returned it. Such generosity of spirit capped off a great visit to this world-class facility. Don, Indented Head

BUCKETS to a Mythbusters episode screened on SBS at a time when children could have been watching. The program conducted an experiment on movie gun sounds and had a table full of live ammunition and weapons, which I found disturbing. I’m sure many would agree Mythbusters could perform other demonstrations. Anonymous, Corio

BUCKETS to Caroline (Buckets & Bouquets, February 8). What are you, a motorist or some kind of bird? A sign flashing messages in “bright colours” should not distract you from driving. I hope I never encounter you near traffic lights. Maybe you should consider handing in your licence. Watching The Road, East Geelong

BUCKETS to a woman who took out her anger on a tiny dog at Torquay Farmers’ Market on February 2. She used threatening words to the bewildered dog and forcefully tugged on its leash. I hope she seeks help rather than take out her problems on innocent beings. Jodie, Waurn Ponds BUCKETS to a radio station for stopping Fast Money on Fridays. I would much prefer Fast Money than some of the station’s other games. Please put it back on. Ex-Player, Highton

BOUQUETS to two lovely people. The first was a man at Leopold who pulled over and checked why my car engine was steaming. The second was a Belmont lady who offered me a cold drink on a hot day as I waited outside her house for my lift. Grateful, Highton BOUQUETS to Mitre 10 North Geelong’s Anthony for excellent customer service when I was looking for plastic door strips. His employer should be proud of him. Jennifer, Corio

BOUQUETS to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at BreastScreen for their care, compassion and support. They made a difficult situation much easier to tolerate. We are lucky to have this wonderful facility in Geelong. Kim, Highton

BOUQUETS to all who contributed to Geelong Community Reef, From Craft to Coral. Facilitated by Geelong West Neighbourhood House, this stunning exhibition highlighting our fragile marine ecology will be at Shearers Arms Gallery, 202 Aberdeen St, Geelong West, from 16 February to 16 March. Craft And Coral Lover, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to everyone who looked after escapee pup Jeffrey on a very hot Wednesday. You we all very helpful and it was much appreciated. Big thanks to my neighbour especially for keeping him cool and safe. Massively Grateful Owner, Corio

SATURDAY 16TH FEB

Funding push needs more pier pressure IS IT unreasonable to seek realistic funding levels for both the Great Ocean Road and a local necessity? The mix of a federal election dovetailing into a state election offers an invaluable opportunity, especially given the dually tentative status of governance, to also stump up funding for a local public-private-funded Yarra St pier (Independent, January 25). The cost-effective benefits would be pretty much unquantifiable. Not only would a serious new-

age pier provide a non-invasive multi-purpose convention centre when Simonds Stadium’s Fred Flannigan Room is booked out, it would also provide hospitality and retail alternatives and liner moorings. A new pier would also provide the building block for marina extensions, which Festival of Sail demands, as well as providing closure to the waterfront vision and initiatives of the Kennett government. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

SAILS, HO: Festival of Sails would be just one beneficiary of a new Yarra St pier, a reader says.

House of Bollocks

Power in the people

COULD Mr Bollocks, nee Cheeseman, (Independent, February 8) please ask his leader to bring some order and discipline back into federal parliament’s question time? It has become a common practice for the Gillard Government to not answer opposition questions by ignoring them and instead turning the answer into a vitriolic attack on the coalition. It’s not so if a question is asked by the crossbenchers. The Dorothy Dix questions from the Government benches also turn into a berating of the Liberal and National parties. So I ask Mr Bollocks to please ask his leader or the speaker to insist that questions are answered. After all, it is our House of the People. Bob Dare Portarlington

ALAN Barron holds the view that humans are too puny to affect our environment (Letters, February 8). This statement reflects his profound lack of understanding of the natural world. Rather than succumbing to websites that reinforce his world view, he really should get out more. Seven billion humans, many living profligate lifestyles, are soiling their own nest big time. Leaving aside the never ending argument about carbon dioxide emissions, one only needs to be aware of our choking rivers, fish-free oceans, denuded soils, devastated forests, bleached coral reefs and, most importantly as a result of all of this damage, the worldwide crash in biodiversity to realise humans significantly affect their environment. Let us not despair, however because many in our community are fighting back and showing another way of living. Corporations are powerful enough to influence governments but lose their power if we don’t buy their junk or their shares. For example, electricity demand dropped eight per cent in Australia last year. Much of this was due to solar panels on roofs and more-efficient devices. Also, governments, at least in democracies, that don’t do the people’s bidding can still be voted out. Leigh Adamson Belmont

Free to reference Nazis GAVIN Brown (Letters, February 8) must be intransigent to imply that every reference to the term Nazi is aimed solely at the holocaust of World War II. The Nazis were a political regime before becoming radical and unbalanced. Inevitably they were defeated and obliterated. Mr Brown’s letter was superfluous and designed to promote the contentious issue of anthropogenic climate change. Mr Brown demanded that climate change sceptics be restricted, censored and/or silenced, effectively annihilating any voice that challenges or questions so-called scientists, for environmentalists’ de-industrialisation agenda. Is that democratic? If Mr Brown is so certain the “majority” is proclimate change then the forthcoming federal election should be a landslide win for the Labor-Greens alliance. Its climate-change policies are crippling Australian business, industry, the disadvantaged and poor. Instead, it has virtually guaranteed Tony Abbott and the Liberal party a victory based on the promise to rescind unpopular taxes and policies. Labor voters are devastated! Free speech must be protected and reinforced. Therefore, any reference to Nazis should not necessitate an automatic apology to the Jewish community. The term Nazi refers to a member of the former German National Socialist party, a bona-fide political collective. I hope the Independent will continue to represent the views and opinions of all contributors who have valid information to share with the community, members of which can then make up their own minds.

Bounty on the bay I WAS delighted to present the Melbourne-to-Geelong multihull passage race trophy at the largest annual keelboat regatta in the Southern Hemisphere, held in Geelong over the Australia Day weekend. More than 4500 competitors on 320 yachts battled it out for some of Australia’s most prestigious sailing trophies during Geelong’s Festival of Sails. The Baillieu Government recognises the significance of Victoria’s oldest sport event as a standout fixture on the Victorian sailing and tourism calendar. An overall investment of $1 million returned in excess of $8 million of economic benefit to Geelong. The festival, with its numerous shore-side activities, attracted an estimated 100,000 visitors over the long weekend. It is another reminder of the immense popularity of Geelong’s waterfront. The Baillieu Government is proud to be part of the festival’s continued growth and success and looks forward to Melges 24 2014 World Championships in January. Securing this event for Geelong is a major win for Victoria and the Geelong region. My congratulations to Royal Geelong Yacht Club commodore Andrew Neilson, Festival of Sails chairman Ian Murray, the organising committee members, sponsors, volunteers and competitors.

Colac filmmakers on the run By MICHELLE HERBISON A LOCALLY-FILMED movie coming to Geelong is all about following your dreams – even if they are a bit backward. Young Colac filmmaking team Jarrod Theodore and Lachlan Ryan say they are enjoying unprecedented success with their quirky Aussie sporting comedy, Reverse Runner. The film premieres at Geelong’s Village Cinemas on 21 February after becoming Colac cinema’s “third most-successful film of all time” with more than 4000 attendees. Theodore said the movie’s hero was “slightly backwards” Kid Campbell who “doesn’t fit in” until he discovers the sport of reverse running at an “Alternate Athletics”. “Kid Campbell gets sucked into the world of the Alternate Athletics, which has things like chair-throwing and the 100m backwards sprint – all the sports no one else wants – and he finds a lot of obstacles along the way.” Geelong’s John Landy Athletics Field features in the film as the site of the athletics competition. Marathon runner Steve Moneghetti, sports commentator Bruce McAvaney, comedian Dave Callan and Geelong actor Bianca Linton make appearances in the film.

Theodore and Ryan travelled to the United States to successfully lure The Mighty Ducks director Stephen Herek into the role of executive producer. The story’s theme of “following your childhood dreams” and “doing something left of centre” rings true with the film-making pair, who grew up together in Colac making films, then both attended film school in Melbourne. “Growing up in a small country town, most of our mates were playing footy and cricket when we’d want them to be acting in our films,” Theodore remembered. Theodore and Ryan spent four tireless years working on the self-financed film in between jobs in radio and television. They created the idea for the Alternate Athletics after main actor Dan Cannon saw a fun backwards race at a sports carnival. The team since discovered reverse running enthusiasts actually do exist. Theodore said he and Ryan “never planned” Reverse Runner would be such a success. “We were just these young kids running around with a camera. We never thought it’d be the biggest film in our home town, let alone branch out to Geelong.”

REVERSE FORWARD: Colac filmmakers Jarrod Theodore and Lachlan Ryan hope to hit the big time with Reverse Runner.

to enjoy the show,” Brough said. “I always had a nice crowd.” Brough believed performing regularly at local venues helped her gain a good “grounding” to build a fan base. Her fans were to thank for securing songs Heart and Prettiest Thing in top 20 positions in the pop genre last year, she said. Brough admitted she found the “drive” to record EP Counting Waves after supporting Lisa Mitchell at a Bended Elbow gig last June.

“I just thought ‘Wow, this is the big time’ and I knew I needed something professional to show people. “So I jumped into gear and recorded Counting Waves at university while I was studying.” Brough hoped to record a new EP or possibly an album this year despite her “hectic” honours studies for Contemporary Music. “I’ve been writing some new music, so hopefully,” she said cheerfully.

ENYA INSPIRATION: Imogen Brough is building a solid fan base on the back of local performances.

SEXUALLY EXPLICIT ENTERTAINMENT MAY OFFEND

GEELONG singer-songwriter Imogen Brough thinks she has Enya’s ethereal music “built in” because her parents played it so much when she was young. It’s little wonder then that Brough would build a singing career on emulating the Celtic singer’s style – with a signature twist, of course. “I’d love to mix Enya’s ethereal sound with modern-day pop music,” Brough told the Independent. “Even if that means creating music for radio and then a producing separate world-music style.” Brough will headline Celtics in Concert at Ocean Grove Hotel this Friday night alongside an array of local Celtic music performers. Brough said she was yet to perform with any of the other acts but was “glad” organiser and musician Jill Meehan asked her to be involved. “It’s always exciting to meet new local artists and perform with them.” Brough spent the summer “singing and holidaying” after earning gigs at Torquay’s Café Moby and Lorne’s Pacific Hotel. She was “pulling people in” from the sea during her regular Monday performances at Pacific Hotel. “Swimmers and kayakers would say they could hear me sing from the water so they came

house, called a rondavel, to shelter the children. Ms Selby says money is running short for Angel’s second rondavel, to house a kitchen. Angel also wants to install a water tank for the children and fencing for a vegetable garden and farm animals such as a goat and chickens. Angel is happy to continue caring for the “many” orphaned children in the area but financial support is “critical”, Ms Selby says. The House of Angels charity auction night at The Peninsula will feature a wide range of items for bidding, including sports memorabilia, bicycles and kitchenware. Patrons will receive a glass of champagne on arrival and supper will be provided during the auction. The auction begins 8am Thursday, February 21. The Peninsula is at 195 Queenscliff Rd, Newcomb, phone 5248 2606.

FULLY EQUIPPED: Refurbished Kombis are fitted out for all needs. POLISHED panels, gleaming chrome and car enthusiasts covered Elephant Walk for the annual Torquay Motor Show last Sunday. About 4000 people came to see 400 of the region’s best modified and restored vehicles. A new section was added this year for surfer vehicles which featured a line up of

mostly Kombis, all fully restored and tastefully modified. Paul Hodges won the class for his 1966 restored Kombi. The show was organised by the Torquay Rotary Club with local motor sport identity Gary Grant heading up the judging team. Next year’s show is already being planned for Sunday 9 February 2014.

ALL NEW AGAIN: The quintessential surfer van, the Volkswagen Kombi, is finding popularity again with a new generation of surfers.

HONDA Insight was the first ever petrol-electric hybrid car to go on sale in Australia, pre-dating the better known Toyota Prius by about six months. That vehicle, launched to a startled public in 2001, was very much an engineering special. Designed to showcase Honda’s long standing reputation for being conscious of the environment, that Insight had unusual aerodynamic lines owing more to the wind tunnel than the stylist’s pen. The latest Insight, launched in 2011, was also shaped in the wind tunnel, but being visually pleasing was also part of the design brief. The shape is also a foretaste of another model, the Honda CR-Z, a sporting hybrid. Honda Insight is a practical fivedoor hatchback with room for four adults, it has a voluminous boot as the battery and other hybrid components have been scaled down in size compared with previous Honda hybrids. Insight can easily be used as a family car. A small 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is coupled with an electric motor, positioned between the engine and the continuously variable transmission. The electric motor chips in with power during acceleration and sometimes while cruising as well as capturing energy from the vehicle’s momentum during braking. Rated fuel consumption is 4.6 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined Australian driving cycle, although the best we achieved during our review was 5.1 L/100 km. Overall the Insight was running in the 5.5 to 6.0 range most of the time. This consumption is matched by some small diesel cars. However, the Honda is decidedly cleaner with carbon dioxide emissions measured at 109 grams per km on the official test. Honda Insight has earned a fivestar ANCAP crash rating. All cars are equipped with Honda’s Vehicle Stability Assist system, designed to come to the driver’s aid in cornering, during acceleration and sharp manoeuvres by applying braking to the right or left-hand wheels as needed, as well as

managing engine torque distribution. Electric power-assisted rack-andpinion steering provides smooth feedback from the road, while anti-skid brakes with electronic brake force distribution ensures firm yet linear braking. Push a green (what other colour would it be?) button on the dashboard and a small forest of trees sprout on the display screen and lose their leaves according to how much fuel is being used and pollution emitted. Stop the Insight at the lights or a road junction and . . . silence! Power is automatically shut down to help save fuel. Other than that, and the different powertrain sound created by the use of the continuously variable transmission, the new Honda Insight sounds and feels much like any other car. Road holding and comfort are good, though not exactly in a sporting manner as economy tyres are used. Selecting Sport mode appears to make little difference to how the car responds (maybe it needs more urging) and steering wheel-mounted shift paddles seem over the top. The Insight is at its best in stopstart city driving, the bonus being constant braking topping up the battery when the car slows and/or brakes. Though aimed at city driving, where a hybrid makes the most sense, Honda Insight is capable enough on the open road. We did feel there was too much road noise on coarse-chip surfaces, but on smooth roads the Insight is quieter than average. Rough surfaces do upset the ride at times but not to the extent of being dangerous. This isn’t the sort of car aimed at drivers in the great Aussie bush but for the occasional holiday trip it will work well enough. The VTi receives LED daytime running lights, integrated Bluetooth with steering-wheel mounted controls and new door mirrors with side turn indicators. The VTi-L receives the same LED daytime running lights and a leather gear shift knob. Honda has big ambitions for hybrid technology and is aiming to have hybrid technology in 10 per cent of all Australian Hondas within three years.

IndySport Indy Sport Rams set to batter Joeysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hopes DESPITE some gallant individual efforts, Geelong Cricket Club fell agonisingly short of their target last Saturday consequently to drop out of finals calculations. Chasing Camberwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 219, the Cats were wellplaced at 2/109 thanks to some quality batting by James Crosthwaite, 87, and Hayden Butterworth, 39. But, as it has done all season, Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brittle middle order failed when exposed and fell to 9/188. Marc Carson and Jake Reed werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to lie down without a fight and edged ever closer but when Carson was dismissed the Cats were seven runs short of their target. With two games left, Geelong will host St Kilda this round and, while its season is effectively over, players still have something to be gained if they wish to impress for next season. In Geelong Cricket Association, the division one ladder has been thrown in the air and, with so many critical games hanging in the balance, who knows

Local

cricket Jim Timberlake

how it will look by the close of play this weekend. Leopold made a competitive 196 against Grovedale on the back of fine century by Ben Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. Grovedale has some talent in its batting line-up but Leopoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowling canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken lightly and will be hard to beat. For Geelong West, Sam Loftus starred with 173 in his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of 9/318 against St Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Rams will win this game easily and put a massive dent in Joeysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finals aspirations. Newtown & Chilwell has risen from the dead to post 7/269 at Stinton Oval against East Belmont.

The Lions should play finals but their deep batting line-up will have to win this game to avoid tumbling down the table. In division two, Torquay and Thomson both put in sterling performances at just the right time of the season. Torquay batted first in its game against St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, posting an incredible 438. After being 3/59, Luke Slater, 195, and Shane Thompson, 122, put on 203 for the fourth wicket. A win tomorrow should see the Tigers re-enter the top six. Thomson was the other side to hit form at the right time. Batting first against Modewarre, the Tigers raced to 8/212 from just 48 overs, with Jayden Hicks top scoring on 69 before a timely declaration by Brad Grapsas. Hicks again starred, this time with the ball, tak-

ing 4/22 to see Modewarre all out for 89. An outright seems assured for Thomson in a result that will virtually assure finals action. With most games going to plan in division three, Teesdale looks the only side capable of causing an upset and significantly rearranging the ladder. Bowling first against Shelford last week, Teesdale toiled hard to dismiss its host for 180. Shaun Campbell was the pick of the bowlers taking 4/47, while Sam Campbell leant good support with 3/26. For Shelford, Michael Lymer top-scored with 86 before being unfotunately run out just shy of a welldeserved century. In reply, Teesdale had to survive 13 overs and did so with a positive attitude, knocking 65 runs off its target without the loss of a wicket. A likely win tomorrow will keep Teesdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals hopes alive.

Anglers rapt with plastic as snapper taken in Corio Bay outer-harbour On the

bite Brian Long

GREAT weather produced outstanding action on Corio Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer-harbour for soft plastics anglers over the past week. Danny Clapinski and Peter Baceley enjoyed fantastic results, landing a nice bag of snapper to 4kg on Gulp swimming mullet in the Pumpkinseed colour. Greg and Nathan Little fished the same area, returning with four fish all better than 3kg apiece and reporting that some nice rock flathead were also encountered. Tim Carroll and Bianca Gordon found a patch of snapper on the shallow grass beds, catching a dozen pinkies to 45cm on a variety of Gulp soft plastics. Don Collins fished the channel edge of Wilson Spit for a bag-limit catch of snapper, most around 38cm but the largest hitting 4.3kg. Don caught half his fish on salted pilchard and the rest on soft plastics. Squid were taken on the grass beds between Clifton Springs and Leopold from first light to around 8.30am. Small natural-coloured jigs were best. Troy Parked fished close in at Bird Rock where he found whiting and garfish busy as the tide started to run off from high. Daniel Pullen trolled over the reefy ground between Point Lillias and the quarries where he was plagued by pike, some close to 1m. He used a deepdiving Sebile Koolie minnows in water averaging under 4m. The best whiting action was generally enjoyed from St Leonards to Queenscliff. Paul Dean landed his bag limit of fish to 44cm twice in close to Edwards Point.

PLASTIC RAPT: Danny Clapinski with his snapper.

TOP CATCH: Tim Carroll and Bianca Gordon show off snapper taken with soft plastics.

Tye Parker also fishing close to the entrance of Swan Bay where his berley trail brought a flathead to the back of the boat. The 78cm fish was the biggest of seven landed for the afternoon. Reasonable numbers of salmon were present in The Rip area. Trolling close to Bell Reef on a line heading toward Corsair Rock soon located shoals. When southerly winds werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cursing surf anglers Black Rock, Cinema Point and many areas just past Lorne were productive. Surf spin anglers continued taking reasonable numbers of salmon, with fish over 2kg landed at Cinema Point of late. High tides were clearly best. Spin anglers working the Barwon River upstream of Buckley Falls caught redfin fishing on lure while constantly moving in search of a shoal. Paul Harper fished downstream of the Ceres Bridge where he caught plenty of small reddies but landed eight

around 900g by the end of the day, with a Mepps Aglia spinner in the Phosphorescent colour working best. Below Buckley Falls was best for carp action, especially during late afternoon and into the evening. Lake Purrumbete remained consistent for quality trout on bait and lure. Garry Welsh cast lures from his kayak near Shag Rock where he landed a 4.7kg brown after a 20-minute battle. Lake Tooliorook hosted plenty of anglers who caught trout to more than 3kg. Trolling Tassie Devils close to shore was productive, while land-based anglers had results casing lures after wading out a little. Harry Watts fished fly after dark at Lake Wendouree, catching six fish just under 1kg in two hours on Monday night with a floating mudeye pattern. Bluefin tuna were caught off Portland to the

South Australian border. Fish over 35kg were boated but Aaron Page reported sighting fish he estimated around 50kg in only 35m of water. Small lures such as Zukers, Pirates, Clones along with bibbed offerings from Rapala have been working. This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tides should be ideal for the surf, with late afternoon best for salmon on lure before changing to bait for snapper as the evening progresses. In freshwater, Wurdee Boluc Reservoir should be worth trying with lures such as Tiger minnows, squidgy slick rigs and larger bladed spinners.
