Toxic ‘time bomb’ fear By Benjamin Millar

Battlelines are drawn Professional wrestler Erika Reid will break out her best and boldest moves when she takes on an interstate rival this week. The Braybrook star will fight Perth’s Lena Kross for the first time at the Italian Sports Club of Werribee. The two women will feature as one of the main events in Battle Lines, presented by Showdown Wrestling. Reid said her beloved pet rat, Pixie, often accompanied her to wrestling events. She described wrestling as “like theatre, but fighting”. “People are like, ‘Wrestling’s so fake’, but it’s not – it’s hard to fake getting punched in the head,” she said. “With wrestling, I enjoy the creative outlet, I enjoy the character and I enjoy fighting – I think that’s lots of fun.” Reid said that her full wrestling character name – Dreamtime Voodoo Witch Erika Reid – demonstrated her pride in her indigenous heritage and hopes of being a role model for children and indigenous young people. Battle Lines will be held Saturday, April 13. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7.30pm show start. Tickets: adults $20, children $15. Bookings: bit.ly/2Vp7App

Inner-west residents are demanding more urgency by authorities that regulate industrial waste companies following the latest toxic blaze. A massive chemical fire last Friday tore through a chemical waste plant in Campbellfield where a company had stockpiled more than double the 150,000 litres of waste for which it was licensed. The Environment Protection Authority had suspended Bradfield Industrial Service’s licence 15 days earlier and had inspected the premises the day before the fire. The fire re-ignited anxiety and anger in a community still dealing with the toxic fall-out from the August 30 Tottenham fire. Sue Vittori, from Friends of Cruickshank Park, said Friday’s incident confirmed that such “chemical time bombs” should not be located anywhere near residential areas. “It’s unbelievable that yet another toxic chemical warehouse has gone up … threatening the health of more Melbourne communities,” she said. “There needs to be a zero-tolerance policy for this land use in residential areas.” Brooklyn resident Carmen Largaiolli said the authorities tasked as watchdogs for the industry need to be better resourced and proactive. “There are so many cowboys out there doing the wrong thing, they need more people doing spot checks of industry – not just those who are registered, but at other locations as well,” she said. Ms Largaiolli said her family suffered respiratory issues in the wake of the Tottenham fire and she wanted to see much more focus on the human health impacts of such events. “Human health gets put on the backburner – all they do is tell us to go indoors and close the windows and I don’t think that’s good enough,” she said. “The Department of Health is focusing on hospital admissions, but if you go to a GP they are not going to report it.” Australian Workers’ Union secretary Ben Davis said the chemical waste industry was plagued by cowboy operators exploiting vulnerable workers. He said there needed to be greater transparency, including a public register of properties where chemical waste was stored and better tracking of waste to understand where it was being stockpiled. “We need a list of these sites and what each of them are licensed to hold,” he said.

Alibi questioned in murder case By Adam Cooper/The Age The mother of a man who is fighting a murder charge is accused of driving her son from the scene and then telling police he couldn’t have done it as he was “not well” and they were out walking her dog together at the time of the crime. Jason Lee Ashman, 48, sat in the Melbourne Magistrates Court dock on Wednesday and his mother, Rosanna Ashman, 66, sat four rows away in the body of the court, as both

appeared over the death of Dwayne Wright, who was shot at his home in Altona about 11.20pm on December 23 last year. Mr Wright, 26, died at the unit. Mr Ashman is charged with murder. His mother is charged with assisting an offender and perjury. Police allege she drove her son from the unit and the following day lied in a statement she gave to detectives. Defence counsel Ashlea Scroop, for Mr Ashman, told the court the question of who shot Mr Wright through a door was

in dispute and would be a key issue at the coming committal hearing. “His identity as the shooter is in doubt,” Ms Scroop said. But she conceded there were witnesses who told police Mr Ashman shot Mr Wright. A five-day committal hearing, which will determine whether the man and his mother face trial, is due to start on August 5 and feature 16 witnesses. Charge sheets for Ms Ashman allege she told police she was “not aware of anything

happening between Jason and the guy” and that her son got to her Kensington home about 9.30pm on December 23. “Jason and I left and took my dog, Floyd, for a walk. We were gone about half an hour,” she allegedly told police the day after the shooting. “Jason couldn’t have done anything because he’s not well … Jason didn’t go anywhere else after he got to my place.” Mr Ashman was remanded in custody and his mother had her bail extended.

Bradmill site in limbo A cloud hangs over the future of an activity centre planned for the former Bradmill factory site in Yarraville after the property owners allowed a permit for the project to expire. Beijing-based development conglomerate Chang Sheng applied to Maribyrnong council in 2017 for an extension to the permit to build a $20 million shopping centre development featuring a new library, medical centre, supermarkets, shops and apartments. However the two-year extension expired on February 28 without any further request to extend the permit being lodged. Council’s planning services director Nigel Higgins said the owner has until August to request an extension of time, otherwise the permit lapses. Chang Sheng bought the 24-hectare property from Colin De Lutis’ De Group in 2016, in a $172 million joint-venture with local Chinese media businessman Tommy Jiang. The entire site has a master plan for a $2.2 billion development dubbed ‘Yarraville Gardens’, allowing up to 1500 dwellings. Residents living near the abandoned Bradmill factory site have expressed frustration over the lengthy redevelopment delays and called for stronger measures to target antisocial behaviour at the site. Metropolitan Fire Brigade figures show the MFB has been called to extinguish 24 fires on the site in the past decade, including 18 fires in the abandoned factory buildings. The site owners could not be reached for comment. Benjamin Millar

Family violence scourge of west By Alesha Capone Police have attended 9141 family violence incidents in the west during a 12-month period, with Wyndham, Brimbank and Melton recording the highest numbers of offences. Between July, 2017, and June last year, Victoria Police recorded 2742 family violence offences in Wyndham, 2565 in Brimbank, 2065 in Melton, 971 in Hobsons Bay and 798 in Maribyrnong. By comparison, between July, 2016, and June, 2017, police recorded 8865 family violence

incidents in the west, with 2717 in Wyndham, 2246 in Brimbank, 2104 in Melton, 1016 in Hobsons Bay and 782 in Maribyrnong. Wyndham and Brimbank recorded the sixth and seventh highest numbers of family violence incidents in Victoria in the year to June last year, while Melton placed 10th on the list. Between July, 2017, and June last year, Casey recorded the highest number of family violence incidents in the state with 4733 offences, followed by Greater Geelong with 3319, Whittlesea with 3057, Hume with 3040 and Frankston with 2718.

Detective Senior Sergeant Brad Lawrence, from the Westgate Family Violence Investigation Unit, said: “The rapidly growing population in the area of Wyndham certainly contributes significantly to the high recording of family violence incidents in the area. “Local police have progressively specialised our response to family violence in recognition of the risk and complexity that these incidents pose.” He said that across the state, reports of family violence had gradually increased over time.

“Sadly, though, we continue to see unacceptable numbers of women and children who are not safe in their own homes,” he said. “We know that family violence takes many forms – it’s not just about physical violence. “It includes coercive and controlling behaviour and demeaning comments … it does not discriminate and knows no boundaries.” If you feel at risk of family violence or believe that someone you know is, seek help from police or a support service such as Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre (1800 015 188).

Reflecting on power Seabrook’s Fabiana Canepa is among 100 female photographers whose work features in a national exhibition opening in Sydney on Thursday. Works from the exhibition, titled Loud and Luminous, have also been compiled for a book presented to the National Library of Australia. The project, with the theme of “power”, aims to empower girls and women to pursue creative careers and promote gender equality in the arts. Canepa, who started pursuing photography five years ago during her marriage breakdown, said her exhibition piece focused on “self expression”. “[My photograph] is a young girl looking at her reflection … showing her self expression through her reflection in the mirror, but she is now content with who she is,” she said. “I thought, this is a wonderful time to tell people out there that are struggling with any

turmoil to use some sort of art therapy to express themselves.” Artist videos can be seen at www. loudandluminous.com.au or on social media and YouTube. Goya Dmytryshchak

Stepping out for Flynn

Estate agency investigated

By Goya Dmytryshchak Mates of a young veterinary surgeon from Williamstown are rallying to raise awareness of mental health struggles. A walk will be held in Williamstown next month to raise funds for suicide prevention in memory of Dr Flynn Hargreaves. Flynn’s Walk was started by his friend, Williamstown’s Jack Levitt, who has since become a committee member of Queensland charity Love Your Pet Love Your Vet.

‘‘

Victoria’s consumer watchdog has closed a real estate agency’s four offices across Melbourne. Consumer Affairs Victoria is investigating the withholding of funds by MIG Real Estate and closed its offices in Footscray, Somerton, Derrimut and the CBD. The action came as a result of investigations into “alleged trust fund defalcation” – or misappropriation – according to a spokesperson for Consumer Affairs Victoria. At the centre of the company is 41-year-old chief executive Amit Miglani, who set up MIG Real Estate in 2011. His 27-year-old partner, Rashi Kapoor, joined the agency in 2017 and was appointed chief operating officer within months. An MIG employee who repeatedly dealt with clients, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there were frequent problems with paying landlords’ rental income. No charges have been laid in respect of CAV’s investigation, which remains ongoing. Neither Ms Kapoor nor Mr Miglani have commented on the investigation. Both Mr Miglani and Ms Kapoor were contacted for comment.

He was one that slipped through … you have to have your radar up - Jack Levitt

’’

Mr Levitt said the charity was aimed at raising awareness that the rate of suicide among vets was four times higher than for the general population. Last year’s walk raised more than $27,000 for R U OK? Mr Levitt said the focus was on reducing the stigma that surrounded vets reaching out and asking for help. “You think about the person that’s gone every day – I think about Flynn every day,” he said. “That, to me, is how I deal with it and that’s how I like dealing with it. “The walk, as well, has been a way for me to channel that energy. “Feeling like you’re doing something when you feel pretty helpless has been really important. “He was one that slipped through and we now more than ever know that you have to have your radar up and be thinking about people and not dismiss someone if they say they’re not

Battle to keep Willy’s heritage By Goya Dmytryshchak After being embroiled in Victoria’s longest planning dispute against the high-rise residential development at the Port Phillip Woollen Mill site, the Save Williamstown residents’ group is rallying against a new proposal. Plans for the first six-storey residential and retail development in Douglas Parade have been refused by Hobsons Bay council and will be heard at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal next month. Holtfield Pty Ltd has applied to Hobsons Bay council to demolish the single-storey commercial building at 66 Douglas Parade, on the corner of Stevedore Street, to make way for the development. Bryce Raworth conservation and heritage consultancy, acting for the building’s owners, believes the demolition of the existing building, formerly Burke and Co. Drapers, would pose no issues from a heritage perspective. A report prepared for the applicant by Matrix Planning Australia states the Williamstown Activity Centre, which is predominantly one to two storeys in building height, appears to be underdeveloped. “There appears to have been little development pressure in recent years for higher development unlike other major activity centres in metropolitan Melbourne” it stated. “The proposal represents perhaps the first of more dense developments that would be expected to occur in the future.” Save Williamstown treasurer Daniel

McKinnon said the group would represent residents at the VCAT appeal. “We see the Burke’s proposal as the thin end of the wedge,” he said. “We do not want to see high-rise buildings springing up along Williamstown’s retail strips. “This has happened in other parts of Melbourne. We want council to look ahead and provide a set of rules for development in these areas. “Williamstown has a lot of history. It is a tourist destination because of its heritage. We don’t want to see that destroyed by a planning policy vacuum.” Mr McKinnon said the group understood that Melbourne’s population was growing and more homes were needed near public transport. “Over the last 10 years, there are many developments, especially near the train stations, that we have not objected to,” he said.

VU embraces block degrees By Benjamin Millar Victoria University students will become the first in Australia to complete their entire degrees in the “block mode” model that has been trialled by first-year students. The Swedish-style teaching model involves students studying subjects one at a time in four-week blocks rather than juggling several semester-long subjects at once. It was implemented last year for all first-year undergraduate higher education programs and extended this year to second-year courses. VU plans to move all of its vocational and higher education courses into the block mode by 2022.

VU vice chancellor Peter Dawkins said the model, tagged “The VU Way”, was often used in vocational education and some postgraduate courses, but had been largely absent in undergraduate higher education in Australia. “It offers a unique and empowering learning experience, which gives our students every chance to succeed on their terms,” he said. “By increasing the flexibility with which students can mix and match their units of study, the block enables students to gain vocational or higher education credentials concurrently or in a sequence in a true cross-university setting.” Professor Dawkins said the new model had delivered promising early signs for improved student engagement and results.

Data comparing 2017 and 2018, when the block mode was introduced, shows overall pass rates up 7.9 per cent, distinction grades up 6.8 per cent and high distinctions up 6.6 per cent. Pass rates for students from low socio-economic status backgrounds jumped by 15.3 per cent and for indigenous and Torres Strait Islander students rose by 19 per cent. Students from non-English-speaking backgrounds improved pass rates by 14.7 per cent. “The VU Way fulfills our vision of creating opportunity and success for any student from any background,” Professor Dawkins said.

The beauty of 3D It’s a case of art imitating life. Newport’s Living Artifact Design founder Carl Ardron has taken 3D printing to a new level, specialising in realistic sculpture portraits. “This is a much higher resolution, detailed capture that is honed off in software to become a more artistic-oriented object,” he said. “The sky is the limit, really – it’s virtually infinite – but I’m concentrating on a small range of products. “One of them is a bust, which is a full head with neck, shoulders and hair. “Something else I’m referring to as a ‘persona’ is a mask-like form, which is the front of the face without the skull. It’s quite elegant. “And a project I just finished is more sports

and arts oriented – not a trophy but a small form statuette.” Mr Ardon said he came up with the business model after being made redundant two years ago. “I had to reinvent myself,” he said. “I asked myself how to install value into these printed objects and my answer is beauty. “If I can install beauty into 3D printing, maybe I also bring some value with it.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Youth take lead on drugs By Goya Dmytryshchak A ‘TalkFest’ for young people is being held in Laverton next month to look at ways to prevent and minimise alcohol and other drug-related harm. It’s being hosted by Laverton Community Integrated Services (LCIS) and Laverton Youth Foundation (LYF). The two organisations successfully made a joint application to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation to start up a new Local Drug Action Team (LDAT).

Melton West, Melton, Burnside and Taylors Hill. The teams receive an initial $10,000 to develop community action plans and can apply for further funding to deliver activities. Initiatives could include peer support, mentoring, education in schools, support for young people and resources to reduce alcohol

harms in pregnancy. The TalkFest will be held at Laverton Community Hub on May 10. Anyone wanting to participate should register their interest with Emily Hynes from the Laverton Youth Foundation at lavertonyouthfoundation@lcis. org.au 12370889-CG45-17

LCIS operations manager Mary Francis said the TalkFest was aimed at hearing from young people what their needs are. “The core of our work as an LDAT is to work with young people to understand what they believe will be the most appropriate preventative methods,” she said. “So, is that around education? Is that around more local events and activities? Is that around having more access to other services, more access to other community organisations? “We’re not designing this program for young people – the young people are designing this for themselves. “Our role in this is simply to empower them to have a voice, to tell us what their needs are.” Seven new LDATs have been funded in the west, serving suburbs including Sunshine, Altona, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Williamstown, Newport, Braybrook, Tarneit, Maidstone, Rockbank, St Albans, Point Cook,

Healthy boost to outdoor fitness stations Five new outdoor fitness stations will be rolled out across Hobsons Bay following a popular trial at Altona’s Cherry Lake. Three stations costing $200,000 were installed around the lake’s shared trail as part of the trial by Hobsons Bay council, to gauge community interest. Cr Peter Hemphill said the feedback had been overwhelmingly positive. “On average, our research found that people spend between five and 10 minutes at each fitness station, with the most popular times being weekday evenings,” he said. “The majority of respondents visited the fitness stations two to three times a week and it is excellent to see people incorporating them into their weekly schedule.” Five new sites have been chosen based on community feedback. A large station to be installed in Apex Park on the Altona foreshore will have eight pieces of exercise equipment, including pieces suitable for use by older adults. It will be completed in May, along with a station on the Strand at Williamstown/Newport. Other stations will be installed in Homestead Run Reserve at Seabook, Epsom Street Reserve at Laverton and Craig Street Reserve at Spotswood. They are scheduled for completion by the year’s end.

Man charged over ‘racing’ death By Michael Fowler/The Age A man has been charged over the death of a motorcyclist believed to have been racing another rider on the Bolte Bridge last July. The 49-year-old from Williamstown has been charged with a range of offences including driving a vehicle in a race on a highway, and dangerous driving causing death. About 10pm on July 15, a Highett man lost control around a bend as he appeared to try to take the exit ramp towards Burnley Tunnel in Port Melbourne and crashed into a side barrier. The force of the crash threw the 32-year-old

from his bike and over the ramp. He died at the scene. Police released CCTV footage of the two motorcyclists weaving through traffic just moments before the crash. The Williamstown man, who was arrested two days after the crash then released shortly after, has also been charged with culpable driving, reckless conduct endangering life, careless driving, and exceeding the speed limit. A motorcycle was seized from a Cremorne home when he was arrested last year. A police spokeswoman said the man was facing multiple counts of the same charges, spanning the period that the motorcyclists

were allegedly racing. Culpable driving causing death has a maximum sentence of 20 years. Dangerous driving causing death and conduct endangering life both have a maximum sentence of 10 years. Driving a vehicle in a race on a highway has a maximum fine of $1289.50 for a first offence, and $2417.85 for a second. The Williamstown man was bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on May 29. CCTV of one of the motorcyclists on Bolte Bridge last year. (Victoria Police)

MAKE THE CALL ASK YOUR ENERGY COMPANY FOR A BETTER DEAL

Taking a lead on changes Sean Ryan is proud to be spreading the word about stamping out family violence. The Footscray man is one of dozens of community leaders working with migrant and refugee settlement agency AMES Australia to help change attitudes to family violence, particularly within culturally diverse communities. The Be Part of the Change campaign is aimed at helping end family violence in multicultural communities by training community leaders to deliver messages about the need to combat behaviour that leads to family violence. Mr Ryan, who is of Malaysian heritage, said he had taken a close interest in the topic since his mother went through her own experience with a partner. “I was interested in finding out more about why it’s happening,” he said. “I come from an Asian background and from the time you are a kid, there are these messages about what a boy or girl should or shouldn’t be doing. Or as a boy you are told things like you should stop crying.” Mr Ryan said it was important for people to take a stand against violence and the attitudes that underpin it. “In Malaysian culture, it’s not taboo to talk about, but you try not to find fault with someone,” he said. “There is a sense that you mind your own business.” AMES Australia program manager Wendy Lobwein said campaign participants were trained to return to their own communities and spread the message. “The campaign uses women’s voices, but also – critically – men’s voices, to deliver the message that family violence is unacceptable and that we all need to be part of the solution,” she said.

Happy birthday, Mabel By Benjamin Millar Yarraville’s Mabel Jones has celebrated her 100th birthday. A birthday party was held for Mabel on Friday at Doutta Galla Aged Services’ Yarraville Village, where she lives. Born on April 5, 1919, Mabel grew up in Footscray.

Footscray North Primary School pupils are vying for the honour of the state’s most active school as part of the 2019 Premier’s Active April challenge. Active April urges all Victorians to complete at least 30 minutes of exercise per day throughout April. Activities could include riding bikes, organised sports or even taking the dog on a walk. Active April participants can log their progress online via the website or by using a mobile app, while also collecting rewards in their ‘Virtual Trophy Cabinet’.

Mabel worked as a weaver in a mill, helped out at her father-in-law’s butcher shop and later worked as an upholsterer. She has a son and daughter, three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Her parents ran a poultry farm and she helped out by carrying buckets of eggs to customers before and after school. “I enjoyed knitting, playing in the paddocks with my brothers and sisters and dressing cats up like dolls to play with,” she said. Later in life, Mabel developed a love of fishing, sewing and gardening, particularly when it came to orchids and making floral

Thief loses conviction appeal By Goya Dmytryshchak A man facing deportation from Australia after serving jail time for an attempted home invasion and carjacking at Newport has lost an appeal against his armed robbery conviction. Mazin Putrus, 28, was sentenced in the County Court to five years and two months in jail, with a minimum of three years and 10 months, for his part in the 2016 armed robbery and other offences. He was convicted of one charge of armed robbery following a trial in the same court.

The Court of Appeal heard Putrus and two co-offenders drove in two vehicles to a house in Bradley Street, Newport, on April 13, 2016. The three men approached the front door, with Putrus’ co-offenders displaying their firearms. A few moments later, a car began to turn into the driveway. Putrus went to the driver-side door and told the victim to “get out of the f****** car”. One of his accomplices opened the passenger side door holding a firearm. Putrus got in the car and drove it a short

distance down the street before returning to the property. The three used the driver as leverage to try to gain entry to the house, eventually giving up and driving away. The Court of Appeal heard the only issue with the charge of armed robbery was whether Putrus had used force, or sought to put the victim in fear that force was going to be used, immediately before or at the time of the car theft. It was submitted on appeal that although Putrus unquestionably stole the car and threatened the victim at the front door of the

property, those threats were to gain entry to the house and not to steal the car. In dismissing the appeal, the Court of Appeal said the “conviction on the charge of armed robbery was inevitable on either scenario”. Putrus and his family, from a persecuted Christian minority in Iraq, had fled to Syria when he was 14 and arrived in Australia on humanitarian visas in 2009. At the time of his conviction, County Court Judge Susan Cohen said his visa had been cancelled and he was “most likely” to be deported upon release from prison.

Fast work relived for fun and funds Maribyrnong’s history of high-speed thrills and spills will be honoured when the Tracey’s Speedway Maribyrnong reunion is held at Maribyrnong Reserve on Sunday. The family fun day will feature a colourful array of current sprintcars and speedcars alongside sidecars, midgets, hot rods and solos that lit up the speedway for almost 20 years after it opened in 1946 as Maribyrnong Speedway. When 1947 solo motorcycle champion Fred Tracey took the reins in 1951, the speedway took his name. It went on to host other top names before eventually closing in 1964. Festivities will be held at Maribyrnong Road reserve from 10am-4pm on Sunday, April 14. Admission is free, with fundraising to be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital. Benjamin Millar

Projects support greatest needs By Benjamin Millar The tricky road for hospital patients and newly settled migrants in Melbourne’s west will become a little smoother thanks to two new partnerships announced in Footscray last week. Netflow, a joint venture between infrastructure giants Plenary and Cintra, is contracted by the Victorian government to deliver and maintain the $1.8 billion Western Roads Upgrade for the next 23 years. The company last week announced new long-term partnerships with Western Health and the Western Bulldogs Community

Foundation. The Western Health partnership will help to provide support to patients experiencing hardship via the Greatest Need Project. The initiative provides practical support for some of the most impoverished patients across Melbourne’s west. Western Health Foundation director Julia White said the project was established to provide direct assistance to those in our community at risk of falling through the gaps. “It’s an innovative program, designed to respond on a patient-by-patient basis to ensure everyone is able to receive the best healthcare for their specific needs,” she said.

Netflow Western Roads Upgrade chief executive Jose Espinosa said both Netflow and Western Health share the same philosophy of working to benefit the community. “It is a pleasure to be able to help Western Health continue its work in supporting these patients in the community that we both serve,” he said. The 23-year partnership with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation will help support newly-arrived migrants and refugees via the Ready SETTLE Go program. The partnership will deliver settlement and employability services to an extra 130 new migrants and refugees each year.

Maribyrnong mayor Martin Zakharov said Victorian laws required that all dogs and cats must have their registrations renewed with their local councils by April 10 each year or face fines of about $300. They must also be implanted with a microchip for identification purposes. “Registration fees fund a range of important animal services including after-hours rescue of injured animals, pet lost and found services, following up inquiries about nuisance or wandering pets, enforcing standards in animal businesses, and running local programs to educate pet owners about their rights and responsibilities,” Cr Zakharov said.

Baby battery death sparks review It’s been four years and two months since Allison Rees held her one-year-old daughter Isabella in her arms and kissed her goodbye for the last time. Isabella was 14 months old when she died after a small, round battery became lodged in her oesophagus. Last Thursday morning, Ms Rees stood outside the Coroners Court and said the family should be celebrating Isabella’s fifth birthday and sending her off to school. Instead, she broke down as she welcomed findings made following an inquest into her daughter’s death, which called for sweeping statewide clinical practice guidelines to be implemented in assessing

children who may have swallowed potentially lethal button batteries. “The thought of living without Bella and seeing her beautiful joyous smile again is heartbreaking,” Ms Rees said. “Even after all this time it still feels like a really bad dream. We believe our beautiful Bella could have been saved.” Isabella was sent home from Sunshine Hospital three times as doctors wrote off vomiting and fever as symptoms of a viral infection before she died on February 4, 2015. Rob, Isabella’s dad, told doctors he thought she might have swallowed something, but this information did not make it into medical

records, coroner Catlin English said in her findings on Thursday. Three days after the first hospital visit, Isabella was running a fever and vomiting. Ms Rees returned to the hospital and showed staff blood clots and dirty nappies containing black, tar-like faeces. On the fourth hospital visit, after Ms Rees found Isabella in tears and covered in blood in her cot, an X-ray discovered a small silver button battery lodged inside her. But by then it was too late. Isabella died hours later despite intensive resuscitation efforts. Ms English, who probed the safety of the batteries, as well as Isabella’s treatment at Sunshine Hospital, found that the medical care

she received was “reasonable”. But she said parents should feel empowered to express their concerns and have their childrens’ cases escalated if they don’t feel they are being heard. Sunshine Hospital has since adopted a Call for Help program which allows families to escalate their concerns. Ms English recommended that the Victorian Paediatric Clinical Network, Safe Care Victoria and the Royal Children’s Hospital develop blanket clinical guidelines for the assessment and management of potentially fatal battery ingestion. The Age

MY PLACE Yarraville’s David Hourigan says he’s racing against the clock to create miniatures of the inner-west’s quirkiest properties before they disappear forever. He speaks with Benjamin Millar. What’s your connection with Yarraville? Originally my wife and I came from Sydney. We moved to Melbourne 13 years ago and were in Brunswick, but about 12 years ago we moved to the west. If you grew up in Melbourne you might have had an idea about the west, but with fresh eyes we could see the area was vibrant and interesting.

What are your favourite local places? I have a young daughter so I spend a lot of time in the parks. Yarraville Gardens is just such a gem; it’s a beautiful juxtaposition between these grand Victorian gardens and the heavy industry abutting it. I think Cruickshank Park and the creek there is a hidden gem too, it’s such a sad state of affairs what has happened with the fire. We like Footscray Park as well and the new playground there. I always love Lola in Seddon and Yim Yam in Yarraville. How did you become involved in miniatures? I always built models as a kid, planes and tanks and little soldiers and things like that. More recently I thought I would like to do something a bit more accessible to people. I have always loved old buildings as well and there are so many around here. So it’s just combining the two. I thought it would be good to keep a record

(Joe Mastroianni)

What do you like most about the area? It’s a very creative community and there are a lot of people doing creative things, so it feels there are a lot of kindred spirits here. Where we are we are just between Yarraville and Seddon, so you can wander to the local shops. We have everything here so there’s a danger of not leaving the area.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a winner, winner chicken dinner MuMchan address: 1b Triholm Avenue, Laverton Phone: 7013 4592 Gary’s stonepot bibimbap with beef ($16) looks just right, all the expected nuts and bolts in lovely, ordered display. Fried chicken? Of course! Now, $33 may sound a bit steep for what is described as a “whole chicken”. But so many pieces are there, it seems like more than one chook gone into constructing our shared bowl. Bennie later says he wished we’d gone with one of the flavour coatings – sweet and spicy, sweet soy and cheese snow are available. But as a first-up try at Mumchan, I think we’re all happy with the regular fried chicken. It’s great – and puts the fare served up by many specialist, hipster-style fried chicken places to shame. My own choice of spicy beef soup ($16) is a sensation. Big call: This is the best Korean dish I’ve ever enjoyed. Among the plethora of noodles, egg, mushrooms and mildly spicy broth is plenty of tremendous pork that in barbecue terminology would be referred to as “pulled”. We’ll be back at Mumchan sooner rather than later. Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

co C ffe om e by plim U en p in t a r Sm y ok e

It’s taken a while for us to pursue a reader tip-off about Mumchan. But we know immediately upon entering that this is going to be a worthwhile adventure. The display fridge is stacked with all sorts of interesting pickles, preserves and more, all set for taking home. Tonight, Bennie and I are joined by a Team CTS comprising my Star Weekly colleague Maria, her partner Gary and son Matteo. As Gary points out, so chic is Mumchan – but not in an overbearing way – that it looks like it’d be just as home in Seddon, Fitzroy or the CBD. Regular readers will know decor doesn’t feature high on the CTS list of winning factors, but we do enjoy supping in fine surrounds. The big kitchen is mostly open to observation, the staff deal with a busy night with smiling aplomb and the wait times are just right. The menu is studded with dishes familiar to us and many not so. Japchae ($16) is a comforting noodle dish and a tad on the conservative side, chosen – I suspect – by Maria with Matteo in mind. Bennie’s kimchi stew ($14) of kimchi, pork and tofu in spicy broth is fantastic. It’s called – according to Korean-loving CTS buddy Justin – kim chi jigae. Even for myself, not a kimchi zealot by any stretch, the soup is tasty and tangy. Bennie tells me the pork cubes frolicking with the tofu and noodles are short of fall-apart, but that their solidity is just right for his dish.

Williams Real Estate: 9397 0000 Auction: April 13 at 11.30am

Price: $1.3 million – $1.4 million

Price: $1 million – $1.1 million

Redesigned with much architectural allure, this Victorian house’s luxe look complements its era’s deep cornices and skirts, retained in bedrooms. It has three fitted bedrooms (with plantation shutters) along the entry hall, which has a corbelled arch and rich floorboards that continue into the glam living hub. The dual-basin en suite, a recipient of an HIA award, is a sophisticated affair, as is the chic main bathroom. A picture window and roof angles add pizzazz to the living hub, where the kitchen is streamlined and stunning. A covered deck has a barbecue kitchen and gardens are attractive. The high-spec house is close to Nelson Place, Point Gellibrand Park and Curtain Reserve – and sits in the coveted Williamstown High School zone.

Within walking distance of the station, primary schools, a popular cafe precinct and sporting facilities, this well-loved house has plenty of charm to entice a fussy family. It has three living areas, including a carpeted retreat at the top of open-tread stairs, neighbouring the main bedroom – both rooms with pitched ceiling and stylish storage. The en suite has a bowl-basin. Three downstairs bedrooms (one fitted) share two smart bathrooms, one with laundry facilities. A floorboarded lounge room off the entry hall has a cast-iron gas log fire with period-style surround, while a spacious living hub incorporates a step-up kitchen with all European mod-cons and servery to dining area. Zoned heating and cooling, and 4kW solar system (saving about $730 a year) are included. A large covered deck looks out to pristine gardens and there’s a carport at the front.

WILLIAMSTOWN 53 Railway Crescent, 3016 Sweeney Williamstown: 9399 9111

Price: $1.25 million – $1.35 million

Within a stroll of primary schools, Williamstown High School, botanic gardens and Williamstown Beach station, this snazzed-up Victorian offers a lifestyle in the thick of the suburb’s many assets. Beyond its beautifully preserved facade, the house has three spacious bedrooms along the entry hall (stepped cornices on high ceilings, corbelled arch), one with a fireplace. They share a fully tiled bathroom and a separate toilet. The contemporary living hub, with the sitting area under diffused light of a recessed skylight, has downlights underscoring the streamlined feel. It also has a cast-iron fireplace with period surround. Also under a skylight, the kitchen, with breakfast bar for three, has a stack of timber cabinetry, dual wall ovens and 900mm gas cooktop. Gas ducted heating and refrigerated cooling keeps things seasonally comfy. Brick paving under a covered pergola extends into the back gardens, which are densely planted and with hedging lining the fence. A brick pizza oven out here is sure to be a year-round hit. A loft area above the double garage has a permit for conversion to a self-contained two-bedroom unit – adding an X factor to this desirable property. There’s also a carport, accessed as is the garage, via Coogee Lane.

NEWpORT 40 Davies Street, 3015 Greg Hocking Elly Partners: 8387 0000

Price: $1.6 million – $1.7 million

There’s not a skerrick of this place that doesn’t resonate with light, space and precision design. It’s all gorgeous Victorian detail on the façade, but indoors a head-to-toe revamp is revealed. “Nenagh”, rubbing shoulders with other period beauties in its cul-de-sac locale, is now an exemplar of contemporary chic. Crisp white paint on high-rising walls, black window frames, white plantation shutters where needed, tall doors with matte-black fittings and attractive grey carpet and matte spotted gum floor planks capture the ‘it’ look for today, while all

Auction: April 27 at 12.30pm

benches come in luscious grey stone. Three generous bedrooms flank the entry hall, two with a wall of multiple fitted robes. The main of these has a fab dressing room with well-constructed and allocated joinery, as well as a swish en suite with Phoenix black tapware from Matt Black (used all through), dual Villaroy & Boch basins atop that lovely stone, and a walk-in twin shower. Also along the hall are a luxe powder room, the laundry with stone bench and 2pac cabinetry, and the main bathroom, matching the smaller for class, with a floating vanity and freestanding tub.

A skylit section of the hall, immediately before a door to the living domain, is lined each side with closets. Large, tall and tinted windows – some with transoms – admit streams of light to the living hub, a lovely big space in which to relax. It connects via two sets of stacker doors to a covered integrated deck, with visual interaction from all points. A giant waterfall stone island bench, which sits beneath pendants suspended from a back-lit bulkhead, is the shmick kitchen’s focal point. A Blanco black sink matches tapware and

handles on extensive white 2pac soft-close cabinetry, the walk-in pantry has a stone bench, and Siemens is the tag on dual wall ovens and 900mm gas cooktop. Wooden seating runs from the deck under a window for a perch to take in gardens, which feature a good stretch of lawn, a vine creeping up a neighbour’s brick wall, and ornamental pears as fence screening. The property is within a five-minute walk of the station and at least three schools are within two kilometres or less. Carole Levy

A golden opportunity like this in one of Melbourne’s booming suburbs doesn’t come along often. Nestled on a large parcel of land measuring approximately 758 sq/m (approx..). There is plenty of room to expand, up-date & renovate should you choose, or completely redevelop; the opportunities are endless.

Now recognised as being one of the inner west’s most progressive suburbs, with opportunities to confidently invest in the local marketplace at every turn, properties such as this magnificent 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence with street frontage on its own title and the added benefit of a fantastic position within the suburb, are highly sought but rarely found.

81 Oakbank Street, Newport The relationship between period proportions and contemporary spaces has been beautifully handled throughout the renovation of this superb free-standing Edwardian close to Greenwich Reserve, cafes, schools and The Strand. A charming façade and polished verandah set the tone for exceptional downstairs proportions including separate living and dining areas that flow seamlessly to an alfresco entertaining pergola accompanied by bistro blinds and garden outlooks. A central kitchen featuring quality stone look laminate, exceptional appliances and elegant storage adds to the allure of a downstairs format offering two bedrooms, a versatile study/extra bedroom and a family bathroom while the main bedroom, its walk-in robes and ensuite define the desirable upstairs level. Stunning inside and out – a perfect example of ‘move in and enjoy’!

SPORT Speed reigns as City West Falcons fly high Speed kills for the City West Falcons in the Victorian Netball League. A high octane brand of netball has seen the Falcons run rings around their championship division opponents in the opening two rounds. The Marg Lind-coached side is among the top echelon of teams with a 2-0 record after a 74-54 mauling of Casey Demons at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night. “We’ve had a good start, but we needed to,” Lind said. “We’re aware that once the Australian National League starts, we probably won’t have our full line-up, so we’ve really got to do well while we’ve got them available and make sure we’ve got some points on the board.” Lind is in awe of what she is seeing from City West so far on the attacking end. The Falcons are averaging a league-best 71 goals per game over the opening two weeks.

It is all starting in the mid-court for the Falcons with Molly Jovic and Maggie Lind forming a lethal combination. “There’s great chemistry between Maggie and Molly – they’re on fire at the moment,” Marg Lind said. “They’re really in good sync, playing well together and getting along well on the court.” City West has been brave with its build up-play. They are playing at a breathtaking speed which has proven impossible to stop in the opening fortnight. “They’ve really got a bit of confidence in terms of getting the ball in the hands and just letting it go,” Lind said. “It’s a real indicator that they’re believing in each other at the moment. “If a team has no fear and they’re able to let it go, which is about trust and relationship on the court, it’s dangerous.” Bold movement would come to nothing if

City West’s attacking circle threats were not on the same page as the mid-courters. ‘Jane Cook and Tahnysha Salanoa are feasting on the precise delivery. Cook was the main beneficiary against Casey, scoring 66 goals at 93 per cent accuracy. “Jane’s standing on the end of a lot of courage from the attackers and she’s holding up really well,” Lind said. Defensively, City West needed to shut down Casey’s star player Erin Bell. The task was given to Soli Ropati, who acquitted herself well. “She had a really thankless job and I was rapt with her performance,” Lind said. The defending champions will need to take it up another notch in the grand final re-match against a hungry Geelong Cougars at the SNHC on Wednesday night. Lance Jenkinson

Goals galore for Devils By Lance Jenkinson North Footscray player-coach Jonathan Miller is convinced the teams that cope best with the new 6-6-6 rule will have an edge over the rest of the competition in the Western Region Football League division 2. It took only 120 crazy minutes of football to convince Miller, who was taken aback by the impact the rule had on the season opening game, which included an extraordinary 46 goals kicked between the Devils and Manor Lakes at Hansen Reserve on Saturday. The Devils emerged victorious by 28 points, kicking 25 goals to 21. “It was incredible,” Miller said. “I didn’t think it would have that big an impact. “That score, I haven’t seen it for a while. “The sides that can get that right are probably going to have the advantage.” While North Footscray had 40 scoring shots, it is still figuring out how best to use the set-up that forces sides to have six players inside each 50 metre arc, four players in the centre square and two on the wing when the ball is bounced. The Devils were late to the party when it came to fully implementing the new rule because their home ground was unavailable for use until late in the pre-season. Miller believes first use of the ball will be crucial under the new rules and winning the one-on-one contests inside the 50 metre arcs in the first instance will be vital. “Being so isolated, if you don’t get your personnel right, you can be found out,” he said. “You need to be potent in all the one-on-one contests and you need six forwards who can be dangerous. “The boys have taken on everything I’ve directed them to do [regarding the new set-up] and the result we got today came through the boys application and willingness to play to direction.” Sam Martin and Kieran Murphy were two of the driving forces out of the middle for North Footscray. Murphy capped a stellar game with two goals. “He was back to his best,” Miller said. “He sort of defies age, a bit like a [former North Melbourne champion Brent] ‘Boomer’ Harvey.” Asher Kirk impressed on debut for North Footscray at centre half-back. Joel Richardson was the most potent Devil with six goals on a day when his side had 11 individual goalkickers. The Vorano brothers – Brody, Caiden and Jack – along with Adam Petridis were youngsters to impress. “They’re four young kids who we’re hoping will take the next step and reach their potential,” Miller said. North Footscray will make the short trip to

Parkside in the second round. Parkside will enter the game on a high after beating Newport by 61 points. Yarraville Seddon is licking its wounds after a first-up 13-point loss to Wyndhamvale, while West Footscray went down by 39 points to newly promoted Point Cook Centrals. In division 1, Altona exacted revenge on Hoppers Crossing after last year’s preliminary

final loss in a 23-point season opening win. Spotswood outlasted Sunshine to win by 37 points, while reigning premiers Deer Park flexed its muscle in a 78-point victory over Caroline Springs. In division 3, the big story was Laverton, who slaughtered North Sunshine by 204 points. New recruit Luke Styles snared a cool 11 goals for the Magpies.

You could be excused for thinking Western Bulldogs’ Monique Conti is a seasoned veteran. Incredibly, Conti is still only 19 years of age after the completion of her second AFL Women’s season. The Maribyrnong College graduate has evolved from one of the western suburbs most promising sporting talents to the pride of the west. In her rookie season with the Bulldogs in 2018, Conti was a rising star nominee, played in the club’s first premiership and was best-on-ground in a grand final win. Conti experienced no sophomore season blues in 2019. Individually, she earned All-Australian honours for the first time, was named the Bulldogs best young player for a second year running and secured the club’s best-and-fairest. Conti took out the Bulldogs highest honour with 161 votes, finishing 5.5 votes ahead of star onballer Ellie Blackburn (155.5) and forward Aisling Utri (136). The best aspect of Conti’s game is that wherever Bulldogs coach Paul Groves puts the utility, she seems to thrive. She averaged 18 disposals per game this season, 11 of which were contested. Her work at the coal face yielded four clearances a game. With star forward Katie Brennan leaving the Bulldogs for expansion side Richmond next year, Conti has what it takes to be the face of the Bulldogs next season and beyond. Lance Jenkinson

SPORT

Two minutes unravels Bulldogs’ hard work It was all going swimmingly for Footscray until two hellish minutes late in a 3-3 season opening draw with Melbourne University in the Hockey Victoria men’s premier league. The Bulldogs seemed to be coasting to victory at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Saturday with a two-goal lead and only 120 seconds of play remaining, but things took a dramatic twist and new Bulldogs coach Jarrod Lester’s first day in charge went from a dream to a disappointment. “All in all, we thought we played well for round one,” Lester said. “We done well to be leading 3-1, forcing them to play long and attack from deep in defence quite often. “With about two minutes to go, they won a penalty corner, which they converted. “Then we started with the ball, lost possession pretty easily and they were able to win a free hit inside their attacking 25. “From there, they played a pretty hopeful ball into the circle and were able to get a deflection

to put it past our keeper.” Footscray will dissect what happened in that final two minutes, but it will not dwell on it. It was an overwhelmingly positive performance from the Bulldogs, which is what Lester will try to reinforce once the late-game disappointment subsides. “We won’t ignore the fact we let two goals up in the last minutes and we’ll need to review that, but the message to the players is that we’d take the positives out of what came out of today,” Lester said. “New coach, four new players, to play the way we did, we’re fairly happy, but obviously disappointed not to put the nail in the coffin when we had our opportunities.” Footscray captain Sam McIntosh capped a best-on-field display with two goals. McIntosh, a defender, ventured forward to score two goals from penalty corners. He also had to be attended to after copping a stray ball in the chin that drew blood. Kyle Gildea was the Bulldogs other goalscorer.

Footscray will play its home opener against TEM on Saturday. “We’re looking forward to getting out on our deck,” Lester said. “It will be another challenge for us, but if we can see a little bit more improvement on today’s effort, we’ll be more than competitive and hopefully we’ll get our win.” Meanwhile, Altona had a narrow 3-2 loss to Greensborough to open the season. In the women’s premier league, Footscray fired with three goals in each half of a 6-0 demolition of Geelong. Altona played out a 1-1 draw with Greensborough. Lance Jenkinson

Blues find their mojo

Seagulls draw first blood

By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown had to draw a line in the sand and get its campaign moving in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 3 on Saturday. After claiming just one point from their opening two matches and conceding an inordinate six goals in the process, it was time for the Blues to stand up and show the competition what they are made of. What better time for Williamstown to break the shackles than a western derby against Point Cook in front of their home fans at JT Gray Reserve. The Blues produced a commanding performance, winning 3-0 and getting their season back on track. “At this stage of the season, it’s still early,” Blues team manager Henrik Nielsen said. “It was important to get a win on the board.” Williamstown was played off the park in its season opener against Fawkner three weeks ago, but it showed signs of life in the second round against Sunbury. Trailing by two goals, the Blues produced a stunning comeback to claim a point, gaining some much-needed momentum heading into the Point Cook clash. It could be looked back upon as an early turning point for the Blues. Exciting winger Alex Vlassis was the cornerstone to Williamstown’s first win of the season. Vlassis scored two goals and asked questions of the Point Cook defence each time he had the ball at his feet. He played with a purpose and his teammates fed off his energy. “He’s looked dangerous all season,” Nielsen said. “He’s your classical winger, very fast and he’s not scared of taking them on. “He definitely makes us look a lot more dangerous when he’s on song like he was today.” You almost cannot write a story on Williamstown without mentioning Aleks Dimitrijevic. Dimitrijevic has been a constant threat on the Blues front line for years. A home grown talent, Dimitrijevic continues to be the spiritual leader of the Blues. “He scored a goal and he’s also had a very good start to the season,” Nielsen said. The most important signing for Williamstown was goalkeeper Wes Coles. The departure of Kiel Zerner to Canberra left a big hole for the Blues to fill. Recruiting a player with the experience of Coles went some way to alleviating the stress. “He was solid last week against areally goodside and he was good again this week,” Nielsen said. “It’s good to replace last year’s keeper with another quality keeper.”

Point Cook goalkeeper Daniel Zilic can hardly bare to watch as Williamstown winger Alex Vlassis celebrates one of his two goals. (Damjan Janevski)

Williamstown will host FC Strathmore in a battle of two mid-table sides at JT Gray Reserve on Saturday evening. In the NPL, Altona Magic roared to a 3-0 win over Bentleigh Greens at Paisley Park. The Magic has moved up to sixth on the ladder ahead of a tough road trip to Dandenong City on Friday night. In state league 1, Altona City’s hot start to the season continued with a 2-1 win over Brimbank

Stallions on the road. In state league 2, Altona East Phoenix resides on the bottom of the ladder after three consecutive losses. The Phoenix was pipped 2-1 away to Geelong Rangers. In state league 3, Altona North has opened up a two-point gap at the top after a 3-1 win over Golden Plains. Stephane Leblond scored a double for North, while Alexandre Martin added a third.

Williamstown beat traditional rivals Port Melbourne in a tight and tense Victorian Football League season opener under lights for the first time at Downer Oval on Saturday night. Leading by one point at three-quarter time, the Seagulls outscored the visitors two goals to one in the final term to run out 10-point winners. Sam Martyn kicked the game-sealing goal for the Seagulls in time-on of the last quarter. Williamstown ruckman Nick Meese was adjudged best-on-ground. The imposing big man had 42 hit-outs to go with 15 disposals and was a menace defensively with eight tackles. Seagulls’ captain Adam Marcon started the season in fine fashion with a 25 disposal, two-goal game performance. New recruit Ben Kennedy impressed in his first showing with the Seagulls, collecting 25 possessions to go with five tackles. Nick Rodda was the Seagulls other multiple goalkicker with two. Williamstown will face Frankston at SkyBus Stadium on Sunday. Meanwhile, Footscray hit the ground running with a 43-point win over Sandringham at the VU Whitten Oval on Friday night. The Bulldogs were in control for most of the night, leading at every charge. Newly acquired key position player Ryan Gardner snared four goals for Footscray. Roarke Smith, who has made a name for himself as a defender at AFL level, moved forward and kicked four goals. Smith was busy with 21 disposals, six marks and four tackles. Patrick Lipinski was the Bulldogs’ leading ball winner with 26 disposals, while also applying pressure with nine tackles. Footscray will face Collingwood in a Friday afternoon game at Olympic Park Oval. In the NAB League girls, it was a huge weekend for the Western Jets, who broke through for their first win of the season. The Jets overran Greater Western Victoria Rebels by 22 points. Isabella Grant was best-on-ground for the Jets with 25 possessions and five marks, while Laura Wright was damaging with three goals. In NAB League boys, Western Jets lost by 12 points to rivals Calder Cannons. Lance Jenkinson
