Stand and be counted Clearly, Councilor Mayne can not count (‘‘Count on it’’, April 24, MTW).

What is of concern is that the City of Manningham would not provide copies of the preference data file used to tabulate the results.

Without access to this information

it is impossible to scrutinise an electronic count.

There is no reason why this information should be withheld and certified copies of the data-file published prior to the calculation of the results.

There are a number of flaws in the way we count the vote (the method of calculating the surplus transfer value, the method of segmentation and distribution of preferences from excluded candidates and the calculation of the quota). These flaws can and do impact on the results of the election.

Most of the flaws were introduced to facilitate a manual counting process. With the aid of electronic counting there is no longer any justification to maintain the flaws and the system used needs urgent review in order to maintain public confidence in our electoral process.

Knee-high in grasshoppers Spare a thought for Coburg residents who catch the bus from Dean Street.

The morning commute is more like wading through a jungle than standing on an inner-city footpath, with the nature strip slowly taking over its concrete neighbour.

While the Moreland grass is lush, projecting a brilliant green under the morning sun, the real beauty lies in watching travellers tip toe through the knee high blades as they attempt to avoid a dewy nightmare. Might be time to consider trading the high heels for gumboots.

I was interested to see the Greens’ endorsed candidate for Batman, Alex Bhathal, and Darebin Climate Action Now staging public protests about the issue of fossil fuels.

As a potential constituent of Ms Bhathal’s, I would like to see the Greens acknowledge that population growth is the key factor in many of our problems, including congested freeways, depletion of freshwater, longer queues for dental and elective surgery, expensive electricity, environmental degradation and increases in air pollution.

This is not sustainable, yet I never hear the Greens offer a plausible solution other than complaining about government initiatives never being “good enough”.

Remember, they sabotaged the initiative to bring in a carbon emissions reduction scheme.

Despite the fact that Australians are high per-capita carbon emitters, the Greens still favour an unbridled increase in our population via an expansion of our immigration intake. In other words, their policies favour an increase in our total emissions! If they could explain this I might listen to their protests about fossil fuels.

A week is a long time in politics but some things move slower than others. In the grand Victorian vestibule of state Parliament last week, a visitor asked the staff “who’s the premier now?” It sounds like a ludicrous question but to keep up with leaders in these days of spills is no easy task. It doesn’t help that in the month and a week since Ted Baillieu resigned to allow Premier Denis Napthine to take charge, parliament hasn’t updated its premiers portrait gallery to include him. Maybe they’re waiting a bit, just to be sure ...

Northcote hits top five

Bike trail hits council roadblock

BY ALANA SCHETZER AND ALISON BARCLAY THE PROMISED Darebin-Yarra Trail could be stymied after Boroondara council rejected the proposed route through a Kew park.

The council voted last Monday night to protect Willsmere Park, a wetlands area in Kew East, which the state government wants the $18 million trail to go through.

The government had requested the council renew its permit for the project – it expired in 2011.

Instead, the council will set up a

working party to find an alternative route to link the Darebin side of the Yarra River with Boroondara.

While the decision throws the project deadline out the window, trail supporters claim the council’s planning committee doesn’t have the legal right to block the permit extension.

Bicycle Network Victoria spokesman Garry Brennan said: ‘‘Longstanding opposition to the project by the City of Boroondara is of no consequence because VCAT found the council’s arguments against the project to be groundless at the time the permits were issued.

“The matter has been decided.’’

The government, which wants the link completed by 2015, announced the 1.8 kilometre extension in December – to link the southern end of the Darebin Creek Trail in Alphington to the main Yarra Trail in Kew. It will feature asphalt paths and four bridges, including a 12.6 metrehigh bridge across the Yarra.

Boroondara councillor Phillip Healey blasted cycling advocates who attended the meeting, saying they cared nothing about possibly destroying a park: “You should be ashamed of yourselves for coming in here and

saying you are environmentalists.’’

The government has the option to use its compulsory acquisition powers to ensure the trail goes ahead.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy was contacted for a comment.

Darebin council’s acting director of city works and development, Darren Rudd, said the council hoped ‘‘the City of Boroondara, VicRoads and DSE [Department of Sustainability and Environment] reach an agreement on its route’’.

Darebin Bicycle Users Group member Robin Gallagher said cyclists had waited 12 years for the link.

THE SON of a Turkish veteran who fought at Gallipoli flew to Australia to attend an Anzac Day commemoration in Brunswick last week.

The Turkish Community Centre and the Turkish sub-branch of the Victorian RSL hosted a dinner for more than 300 guests to mark the 98th anniversary of Anzac Day. Among the guests was the ConsulGeneral of the Republic of Turkey, Seyit Apak, as well as state and federal MPs and local councillors.

Seventy-one-year-old Turgut Kacmaz, whose father fought against Australian troops at Gallipoli, was the guest of honour at the anniversary dinner.

He joined the president of the Turkish sub-branch of the Victorian RSL, Ramazan Altintas, at Anzac

House earlier in the week to commemorate the shared history between the two countries during the First World War. “Our parents and grandparents fought against each other, but they respected each other,” Mr Altintas said.

“Both communities lost lives. We have to learn from that.”

Brunswick MP Kelvin Thomson attended the Anzac Day dinner, which he said embodied the close relationship between the two countries and was reflected in the large Turkish-Australian community in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

Mr Thomson delivered a speech from Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

It said in part: “The Johnnies and the Mehmets fought bitterly but they fought bravely as well, finding in each other worthy foes who deserved honour and respect’’.

NORTHCOTE is in the city’s top five growth suburbs after house prices rose at almost double the rate of the rest of Melbourne in the past three months.

The latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria show houses in the north-eastern suburb rose by 9.9 per cent in the March quarter, up from a median price of $805,000 to $885,000.

House prices across Melbourne rose by 5.1 per cent in the same period, up from $534,000 to $561,500.

Northcote ranked behind Doncaster, Brighton, Balwyn and Balwyn North, and outperformed metropolitan Melbourne.

Kensington stood out for apartment sales this quarter with a 13.5 per cent jump from $444,000 to $504,000. The REIV recorded a 1.4 per cent average increase in metropolitan Melbourne.

Carlton apartment prices recorded the biggest drop, by 12.5 per cent to $280,000.

There were too few sales of units and apartments in Northcote in the March quarter to draw accurate conclusions, but the average price was $575,500.

REIV CEO Enzo Raimondo said Melbourne’s residential market continued to record moderate improvements as it recovered ground lost over two years.

“There are a number of factors increasing demand; increasing population growth, improved consumer confidence and overall affordability assisted by lower interest rates,” he said.

“Improvements are particularly pronounced in the inner and middle ring suburbs.”

Tram shortfall ramped up DAN MOSS dmoss@mmpgroup.com.au

A RAMP dubbed a ‘‘gap reducer’’ will be installed on 59 trams, at a cost of $400,000, to prevent wheelchairbound passengers getting stuck as they board.

Yarra Trams chief executive Clement Michel said the ramps would be installed on low-floor D-Class trams to bridge a gap between the tram doors and level-access superstops which could cause wheelchairs with small wheels to jam.

“Some of our current infrastructure may not be at standards,” Mr Michel said.

The ramps are expected to be installed by mid-year.

Mr Michel said Public Transport Victoria was paying for platforms along the 109 light rail track in Port Melbourne to be raised to align them with tram doors.

Public Transport Victoria spokeswoman Helen Witton said the gap reducers won overwhelming praise in a test run.

However, the measure is believed to be far from perfect as the weight of passengers on a full tram could marginally lower the floor level.

Meanwhile, the state government has been accused of failing to meet its disability anti-discrimination targets on the tram network – despite spending more than $1.1 billion.

Yarra Trams data shows less than one quarter of the tram network has been upgraded with disability-

friendly level-access super stops and low-floor trams.

Victorian Council of Social Service policy manager Llewellyn Reynders said the tram network did not meet its 2012 target.

“We call on the government to develop an accessible transport plan that actually provides the strategy and resources to get us to the 2017 targets in their next successful transport plan,” he said.

Seven years ago, the government set a target for 55 per cent of the tram network to be accessible for disabled people by 2012, and 90 per cent accessible by 2017, in line with the federal Disability Discrimination Act. Today, the network has 349 level access stops out of 1763 and 100 low-floor trams out of 487.

When asked whether the network met its 2012 target, Ms Witton said: ‘‘Sixty-five per cent of tram stops in Melbourne meet the requirements ...

However, this is a network-wide figure based on the 30 (disability standards) criteria and does not mean 65 per cent of stops are fully accessible.’’

Plans for precinct

BY ALANA SCHETZER aschetzer@mmpgroup.com.au

Chefs get their just desserts

GERTRUDE Street could be transformed into an Aboriginal precinct that protects and celebrate’s the strip’s historic connection with Australia’s first people.

Community consultation on the Yarra City Council proposal has revealed strong support for the idea.

Suggestions include regular historical walking tours and an Aboriginalthemed festival; places of significance could be marked by signs or statues.

According to a council report, Gertrude Street is the most historically significant urban strip in Aboriginal Victoria. It was a base for the Aboriginal civil rights movement and many Aboriginal organisations were founded there. However, increasing gentrification has concealed much of the street’s history and significance to Aboriginal people.

Wurundjeri elder Colin Hunter said the strip has been a significant meeting spot for Aboriginal people

Two talented pastry chefs are enjoying the sweet taste of success after baking their way to the top of a statewide competition. Jacques Abd El Nour and Hazim Hazim (pictured), from Ablas Patisserie in Preston, scooped first and second prize respectively at the inaugural Baklava Bake-Off at Federation Square. The duo wowed judges in the professional pastry chef category with their take on the traditional sweet treat. Organised by the Australian Multicultural Foundation, the event celebrates cultural diversity in Victoria by providing communities with an opportunity to showcase their passion for pastry. Ronald Abla, director of Ablas Patisserie, which has been running since 1979, said: “Our chefs coming first and second place was just amazing; it’s a feeling we can’t explain.�

across Australia since the 1930s, when many prominent Aboriginal families moved to Fitzroy. ‘‘Atherton Gardens became a meeting place and it still is,’’ he said.

Wurundjeri Tribe Land cultural heritage council chief executive Stephen Fiyalko said he would wait until a formal proposal was sent to the council before making a statement, but he said he ‘‘can’t imagine we’d be against that. It would be a great acknowledgement’’.

Melbourne already has several precincts dedicated to specific cultural groups: part of Little Bourke Street is Chinatown, Victoria Street in Abbotsford is known for its Vietnamese eateries and part of Lonsdale Street in the city has long been known for its Greek heritage.

The council is creating an online project that will detail Yarra’s Aboriginal history. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ 2011 census, 289 people of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent live in the City of Yarra.

Rate rise, more for works in Yarra draft budget

BY BRIDGET FITZGERALD bfitzgerald@mmpgroup.com.au

YARRA council’s draft budget reveals a slight boost in capital works funding, a fire services charge for residents and a diversion of $13.5 million to top up a now-closed local government superannuation scheme.

Council approved the draft budget and the draft 2013-17 council plan and released them for a four-week public consultation period at an April 15 meeting.

The proposed budget outlines ratepayers will be hit with a state government fire services property levy charge on top of a 4.4 per cent rate rise.

Yarra mayor Jackie Fristacky said people should be made aware of the levy, which council must collect on behalf of the state government, and how it may affect their rates notice and insurance premiums.

‘[this charge] is supposed to replace the levy ratepayers are currently paying in their insurance premiums’ “Initially ratepayers may be confused to find this charge on their rate notices,” she said. “But it is supposed to replace the levy they are currently paying in their insurance premiums.”

Ratepayers will be charged $100 per residential property, and $200 per commercial property as well as a variable based on capital improved value.

The proposed budget also outlines that Yarra City must direct almost 10 per cent of its operating budget to the Local Authorities Superannuation Fund, a scheme shut down in 1997 that councils are still paying out.

Victorian councils are required to make up a statewide shortfall of $453 million, which provides for

remaining members of the scheme and their partners.

A proposed $34.5 million will be allocated to capital works programs, including major building projects, parks, roads and tree management, up from $33 million last year.

Major projects include the North Fitzroy Community Hub project, the Victoria Street Gateway project and the Collingwood Town Hall upgrade, which is due for completion in August.

Council will consider submissions at a meeting on May 21 at Fitzroy Town Hall. All submissions must be received by 5pm on May 16.

Grant saves free law handbook

BY ALANA SCHETZER aschetzer@mmpgroup.com.au

THE Law Handbook, Fitzroy Legal Service’s free law guide, has been given another stay of execution – the federal government has injected $100,000 to keep it available for free.

Commonwealth Attorney General Mark Dreyfus provided the funds this month, securing the handbook’s future into next year.

Without the funding, free access to the online version could have ceased by the end of December.

Fitzroy Legal Service CEO Claudia Fatone said the funding, which was the result of ‘‘sustained lobbying’’, gave the service some breathing space while it figured out a more sustainable funding model. ‘‘That’s a challenge we are working on. We need to get support from a whole range of organisations, both from the legal community and the

general public,’’ she said. ‘‘We want the handbook to remain a free resource.’’

The Fitzroy Legal Service created the handbook and updates it every year. The handbook, which explains the legal system in plain English, has been released annually since 1977 and online since 2009. It has been downloaded more than two million times.

Legal aid agencies throughout the state refer clients to the handbook, and the Magistrates Court includes a link to it on its website.

The handbook has been in danger since 2011, and later that year the state government gave a one-off grant of $110,000.

A fund-raising campaign was launched late last year.

Ms Fatone said: ‘‘We believe clear and accessible legal information, such as the Law Handbook Online, can help individuals and families better deal with everyday legal problems.’’

An indigenous activist heads to New York. By Bridget Fitzgerald Gorrie says. “It’s such an interesting time to be young and Aboriginal.”

Originally from Brisbane, Gorrie moved to Melbourne in 2011. The Brunswick West resident is in her third year at the University of Melbourne studying a bachelor of arts majoring in history, politics and international studies. When she graduates in mid-2014, Gorrie is hoping to pursue a career in international affairs.

“Whether it’s in voluntary life or work life, I hope to build a better future for aboriginal and Torres Straight islanders.”

Gorrie’s work at the UN Permanent Forum will focus on conservation and protection of the environment. She will compile a 4000-word research piece on the engagement of young people in the implementation of Article 29 of the UN declaration – the rights of indigenous people.

“We’ll be helping to guide the work at the forum – you have to become a miniexpert on your topic.”

Gorrie says from an Aboriginal perspective, the environmental impacts of climate change will be catastrophic.

“It’s not just a matter of bills going up and driving less,” she says. “The places my ancestors are from are getting destroyed.”

Gorrie has just returned from a preparatory trip to Canberra where she met the Governor-General Quentin Bryce, Tony Abbott, Kevin Rudd and Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin.

“It was a great chance to meet the people who make the decisions,” she says.

Though Melbourne is very much home now, Gorrie keeps in regular contact with her mum, who lives between Australia and Fiji. Gorrie says her mum is “thrilled” with the work she is doing.

“She emailed the whole family and told them to follow my Twitter and Global Voices Twitter account!” I The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues will run from May 20-31 at the UN headquarters in New York.

n the days and weeks after December 15, 2011, the evening he fell off a ladder at his Richmond home and sustained severe injuries, we faced the prospect of a world without Molly. For millions who grew up with him on their television sets, it would have been a much less entertaining world, without a version of English that Molly Meldrum made his own and we came to love.

But clearly Meldrum is made of tough stuff. Here he is, sitting on his favourite couch at his Richmond home, juggling phone calls, talking to his dog Ziggy, as energetic as he was just a few weeks before the accident.

Back then, I had dropped in and he’d shown me a cake the shape and (almost) the size of a mummy’s tomb, the icing meticulously tracing the face of one of the pharaohs I’m sure Meldrum could name.

That visit was to a man without a care, chatting about Rhianna and Beyoncé and Jay-Z and Egypt and St Kilda Football Club.

A few weeks later Australia was holding its breath, waiting on daily reports about whether he would survive the terrible accident. It’s a great relief to see that Meldrum appears to be in great shape, and that his mischievous sense of humour is as sharp as ever.

“They had a speech therapist when I had to do stuff for television and she was great,” he says. “We can’t explain it but I’d lost my ums and errs. I asked [the doctors] if I could have the speech therapist again. They said, ‘You don’t need it’. I said, ‘Well, I actually do because somehow I’ve lost my ums and errs and, let’s face it, if I lose them and I lose my hat, that’s it; the act’s gone for me’.”

As much as he wants to avoid the “icon” references, Meldrum is still as big as they come in this country. His star – which rose in the 13 years he hosted the ABC’s Countdown and then for years on Hey Hey It’s Saturday – has never dimmed. The honours have flowed, including recently appearing on an Australia Post stamp. Now he’s the subject of a stage show and a television program.

“I don’t know much about it,” he says.

“Molly the musical – imagine that. I think the working title is You Can Leave Your Hat On, whatever that means. I’ve authorised it, but I prefer them to do it, not me.”

He will be involved as an adviser. How does he feel about the shows? “I’m trying not to

put too much thought into it. Initially I was, ‘No, no, no’, as I was with the stamp. I felt embarrassed. But then I thought, ‘Stop being stupid and so ungrateful’.”

Meldrum’s career is powering ahead, too.

He’s re-signed with Channel Seven to appear on Sunrise and Sunday Night, and continues his work with Foxtel and MTV. Meldrum talks about his gratitude towards the specialists and hospital staff, his brother Brian Meldrum, and long-time personal assistant Yael Cohn, who worked around the

‘We can’t explain it but I’d lost my ums and errs ...’ clock to co-ordinate his recovery. Also friends and the public who ensured he knew he was loved. “I’m forever grateful to the Alfred, first off, and Professor Jeffrey Rosenfeld, and then the Epworth with Dr John Olver and the staff. And I was very overwhelmed with the reaction that happened with the public.”

Rehab was tough, he says: “They wouldn’t take no for an answer so I had to learn that they wouldn’t take no for an answer.”

What was the most difficult part of rehab?

“Being in the ward that had head injuries and all of that and meeting all the different patients and realising that I’m lucky and I didn’t realise there was so much of this and how patients cope with it.”

Meldrum says he often reflects on how lucky he was to survive, and the extraordinary nature of the reaction to his accident.

“The response was overwhelming,” he says. “From the Australian public, the cards, the letters, the emails. There were thousands of cards. Families would write and the kids would write as well. Some would draw it.

Some were addressed to Ziggy saying, ‘How are you; how are you coping with this?’ It was too much to cope with. I didn’t know how to cope with it. I was overwhelmed by it.”

On December 15, 2011, Meldrum fell off a ladder while putting up Christmas decorations at his Richmond home, sustaining a fractured skull, ribs, shoulder blade, vertebrae and collarbone. He also sustained brain injury and had to be placed in an induced coma.

He spent five weeks at The Alfred, “which

[ 10 ] MELBOURNE TIMES WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

I don’t remember because I was unconscious.’’ He then spent five weeks recovering at the Epworth Hospital. Meldrum was fed up with being in hospital and did a runner from the Epworth.

“I just thought, ‘I’ve got to get out and I’ve got to be home and not have people treating me as a patient and be mollycoddled’, because I’m hopeless at that,” he says.

“I thought, ‘How do I get out of here? Because it had keys in the ward I was in. You weren’t allowed to have phones and sound, and whatever. They were fantastic, but I thought I’ve got to get out of here. I talked to a couple of the other patients … and they were telling me about the rehab [centre] across the road. So I asked some more questions and I found out they didn’t have keys over there and I went ‘mmmm …’’

It was arranged for him to be at the gym in the morning. “I thought, ‘right’. The night before they were showing the Academy Awards so I watched that with everyone else. In the morning I went across to the gym. “[The trainer] said, ‘I’ve got to do something, you just go and sit over there’. I said, ‘I think I’ll just go for a walk. It will do me good to exercise’.

“And then I took off through the gates, and she said to someone, ‘Molly’s just gone!’ and the chase was on. I went the wrong way.

“For someone who lives in Richmond, just down the road – I ended up in Hoddle Street, and that’s where they caught up with me. They chased me down to Bridge Road and then it was on. I got across to the other side of Bridge Road, went for a coffee. I said, ‘Could you order me a taxi please?’

She came back and said, ‘Here’s your coffee. I’ve rung for a taxi’. And the minders [turned up]: ‘He’s not getting any taxi’. The waitress said, ‘Are you Molly Meldrum?’ I said, ‘Aaah, sort of’.

“She said, ‘Aren’t you in hospital?’ And they said, ‘Yes he is, and he’s going back right now’.

“I gave her 20 bucks for the coffee and I took off down Bridge Road and I looked at the Richmond Town Hall and the clock and I used that like a lighthouse. Got home. I outpaced them, I think. But I couldn’t get in the house. My brother Brian arrived. I said, ‘Open the house, Brian’. He said, ‘I’m not opening the house’.

“So I reminded him that when we were growing up and we couldn’t get in the house we’d punch a window and get in that way. Brian threw me the keys and said, ‘Do what you want to do. You’re off your head’. I sat where I’m sitting now and said, ‘I’m not moving. This is me now’. And I didn’t have to go back.”

He went back to rehab for day visits. “At

home they insisted I have minders. They checked the house and said I couldn’t go upstairs so I made a bed in the library.”

As part of his rehab, Meldrum flew to Phuket for three weeks “to swim and do rehab and also to get out of the centre of attention. “Believe it or not, a lot of my character is introverted so I didn’t know how to cope with it. I really didn’t.”

The experience changed him in many ways.

“Getting to know a lot of the other patients and become good friends with them, I thought, ‘My God, I’m nothing compared with what Scotty has to go through’.’’

He saw a lot of courage. “So much so it altered me in my own thinking and my approach. Just appreciating people and life. And appreciating that people are so caring. The trouble that people went to was incredible. And watching how the nurses, the doctors, everyone in the hospital, how they are so good, so, so good. It just all rubs off on you.”

At what point did he realise he was going to be OK? “I was determined that I didn’t want to have to be a patient to anyone and be fussed about and whatever, you know? I guess that drive helped me.

And people being so nice.”

Back at home, Meldrum went about his normal life. “People would come up in the street, down at Coles. I didn’t stop doing things I do normally anyway, shopping. It was embarrassing. I’d go down to Coles and people would say, ‘We’ll help you push the trolley’. ‘No, no, no, please don’t do that’. And then I had to explain it was holding me up, for god’s sake.”

He found strength through the support of friends, his brother and Cohn’s “incredible job”.

“And people. I might be walking down the street and people would stop me in their cars and that gives you strength, you know? And my beloved St Kilda did some really lovely things. Storm did some incredible things. So I felt very proud of that.”

Physically he’s on the mend even if the plates inserted in various parts of his body “still move a bit – one on my left shoulder, one in the ribs, one on the spine.” He’s got his humour back.

I suggest barracking for St Kilda is character building. “If character building is a pathetic man that wears a hat who’s seen crying at the MCG twice in one year with Collingwood in two grand finals, I’m not sure that’s character building.”

He is in a great place. He spends two months a year with his partner in Thailand. He’s working hard and has never been in greater demand.

Meldrum takes me to his back garden where the accident happened. “I slipped and crashed there,” he says, pointing to the side of the pool.

There’s been plenty of that famous Meldrum chuckle today, and our meeting ends with one.

He says he spoke at a function after the accident.

He got up and said: “I’m sitting at a table with [diver] Matthew Mitcham. I’ve always been in awe of him because of what he achieved at the Beijing Olympics …Why I hold him in awe is I keep on thinking, ‘How the f--- did you climb up that incredible podium and not fall off, let alone then do the perfect dive, whereas I only went up a ladder, a very small one, and the pool was right beneath me, and I missed the f---ing pool completely. “How did you do it?’

“I said to him later, ‘I hope you didn’t mind me saying that’. He said, ‘No, mum and dad loved it’.’’ I

F

rench rockers Phoenix have never been afraid of kitsch. Their first LP recalled the sort of middle of the road rock that was never fashionable and, four albums later, they’ve wrapped themselves in cheesy ’80s synthpop. From the first, faux-oriental faux-chimes of opener Entertainment, it’s clear they’re here for a fun time, not a deep time. That said, there are elusive threads of substance woven through the 10 songs. Although the title track doesn’t seem to address Europe’s present financial despair, there are recurring themes of loneliness and misfitdom – neither of which is novel in pop music. Any impact from these darker moments is minimal, however, given the relentlessly upbeat production. It’s all so glossy that the hooks are stripped of any bite. Rather than demanding your attention, songs wash together in a pleasant but unremarkable fashion.

theatre

F

irst, a confession. I’ve never been able to stomach The West Wing. I’ve tried several times and can’t ever get past the syrupy sentimentality, the soaring score or the naive idealism. Give me The Thick of It or House of Cards, both of which approach the business of politics with appropriate cynicism.

Originally a British mini-series, House of Cards has been reworked for an American market by director David Fincher. In a first for Australia, all 13 episodes will be made available to watch or download in a single gulp – a model, replicating the appeal of the DVD boxset, that worked well in the US. The show takes a convincingly black approach to the White House. Chief whip Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) is passed over for a promised role as secretary of state, so sets about engineering his revenge. Well aware of proverbs about cold dishes, Underwood begins a long, dirty game to unseat the newly elected president. Yes, he’s pretty much a more skilful, less self-destructive Kevin Rudd.

As might be expected, this is a brasher, glitzier beast than its UK counterpart. Pleasingly, the

female roles are far more fleshed out, most notably Robyn Wright’s Lady Macbeth (AKA Underwood’s wife, Claire). Still, we’re here for Spacey. Given reign to offer the audience asides and soliloquies, the actor is utterly captivating.

Underwood’s charm and Machiavellian

intelligence ensure we’re rooting for him, even as we worry where he’s leading us. If the story mirrors the original series, then we’re on course for some dark places. Nonetheless, you’ll want to get there as quickly as possible. Clever, funny and admirably wicked, this is addictive stuff.

elbourne theatre company The Honeytrap is making a name by bringing sticky subjects to the city’s stages. In its latest production, a 15-yearold student runs away for a dirty weekend with her teacher – who is, of course, twice her age. The thrill is in flirting with immorality and disaster, but things become ordinary all too quickly. This award-winning play – first performed at the Edinburgh Festival – similarly flirts with right and wrong, but doesn’t jump to any obvious conclusions.

1970s, two brothers set up a surfing equipment business in a tiny West Australian town, convincing their mum to knock up wetsuits on her old Singer. There’s probably quite a nice tale in here, but it becomes clear the filmmakers have no idea how to tell it. Each scene feels disconnected from the next, so that nothing has any real consequence and the plot – stretched gossamer thin over two hours – never builds enough momentum to catch its first wave. The end result feels less like a movie and more like a

lukewarm TV pilot for a SeaChange clone.

The marine photography is unquestionably stunning, but the greatest entertainment comes from tutting about mystifying creative choices.

Why, for example, is the lead actor 20 years older than the character he’s playing? (Are we to presume he’s spent too much time in the sun?) More importantly, how does bus driver Sam Worthington manage to play The Jezabels’ Endless Summer on his radio, when the track was recorded 40 years after the film is set?

MOTORING Volkswagen Up! five-door What is it? The cheapest Volkswagen of all.

What’s in it? A 55-kilowatt one-litre three cylinder with a five-speed manual.

Is it thirsty? I used 5.7 litres per 100 km in the city, 4.3 in the country. The official combined figure is 4.9.

The only way is Up! Volkswagen’s economical small car has a few surprises. By Rod Easdown

T

he Up! is a surprising car. The best surprise is the economy, it’s brilliant. But the biggest surprise is that the Up! doesn’t know it’s such a small car.

Cars of this size can get a little wayward at freeway speeds, and quite noisy. Generally they’re not nice once out of the city. But at 100 kilometres an hour the Up! is solid and no noisier than plenty of big cars. At 120km/h however noise rises. You don’t want to go any faster.

It rides surprisingly well for something of this size but chuck it into a challenging corner and you quickly find its limits. It’s not as solid as VW’s Golf or even the Polo, and it’s easy to get understeer, where the front wheels skate ahead, something to think about if the road’s wet.

The little three-cylinder is a valiant trier and ever enthusiastic, but its promises are beyond its abilities. You think you’re going hard until you realise all the other cars are still with you.

And on the highway you need to be in the right gear to overtake, and have a generous

length of clear road. Decent hills require a down-shift.

Not surprisingly there’s no auto transmission available. Anyway the Up! is from Europe where 80 per cent of buyers choose manual.

But it’s this very lack of power that makes the car such fun. You can wring its neck and not break any laws. Note however the motor’s severe lack of torque which leaves you high and dry when you need solid go and the revs aren’t right.

It will appeal to people who enjoy driving. For everyone else it doesn’t make a lot of sense; it’s expensive and basic both in equipment and finish. There’s a lot of bare metal in the cabin and few little niceties. By far the most annoying thing to me was the lack of centre console ventilation outlets.

The seats are thin but not bad, the rear is for kids. The boot is very narrow but quite deep – maybe one mid-size suitcase inserted vertically.

But there’s a full-size spare under the floor.

I enjoyed my time in the car immensely, but then I enjoy driving. If you buy a car to get from A to B and nothing more, there are better deals to be found among Mazdas, Hyundais and Mitsubishis. I

hen the blocks in Alphington were subdivided in the 19th century, acreage with Yarra River frontage commanded a premium. During the 1880s land boom, the earlier river subdivisions were the perfect acreage acquisition for affluent buyers.

So many years later, Yarra River real estate is still popular in the inner-city and beyond. Alphington has gained in popularity as a family-friendly enclave that has the benefit not only of local river parklands but also as an ideal launching point for the suburbs east of the river, Ivanhoe up the road and its highly sought amenities, and its easy train and car access to the city.

This new double-storey executive residence is not your average Alphington offering. Its striking façade set on a corner block reveals impressive modern living and proportions where organic, earthy elements combine with an abundance of sunlight.

The imposing dark-rendered façade is enlivened by perimeter fencing of textured jarrah. Frangipani shrubs are designed to add yellow to the palette and a line of ornamental pear trees soften the otherwise dramatic frontage.

Designed by local architects Cornetta Partners, and after a prolonged building phase, this house has accomplished its goal. Open-plan, family-friendly living spaces are integrated, yet defined. They have great flow and wrap around a well-placed courtyard.

The ground floor is characterised by high ceilings and bright spaces flooded with light, enhanced by contemporary white interiors. Hardwood matte-finish floors and light fittings made of natural fibres inject comforting warmth.

An indoor/outdoor lifestyle is achieved with bifold doors on both sides of the courtyard integrating the space. With the landscaped front garden already established, and the courtyard offering further planting opportunities, this is low-maintenance living with plenty of green views.

Three living spaces on the ground floor flow one from one to another; however, the front corner room could easily be cordoned off for more formal dining or for use as an office.

The kitchen adjoining the meals area has stainless-steel Smeg appliances, stone benchtops, soft-closing drawers and white cabinetry. The whole ground floor is ideal for entertaining large numbers, and the kitchen is up to the task.

Cream wool carpet entices one upstairs, where the three bedrooms run off a landing retreat/study area. It is a versatile space that could be configured to suit, but whatever its use, it is a highlight. This south-west-facing corner has an elevated vista, including clerestory windows for treetop views.

A large outdoor deck also enjoys this vista and is a perfect second entertainment space. The surrounding towering gums and the city in the distance provide a great backdrop.

The main bedroom suite has a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. Both bathrooms are elegant with travertine floor and wall tiles; the main has an oversized shower and a stylish deep bath.

All three bedrooms have split systems and are a generous size with plenty of built-in wardrobe space. The main bedroom is big enough to be classified a parents’ retreat.

This is a great prospect for families lured by the lifestyle on offer north and east of the river. With the Yarra only a few hundred metres away, this presents a modern, low-maintenance acquisition in a position that can boast lasting appeal. \ EMMA HOUGHTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

There’s nothing like staying in one family’s hands for decades to foster homeliness.

Proudly maintained by the owners for the past 24 years, this single-level residence was built in the 1930s but could trick passersby into thinking it younger due to major work. The corner property is city-side of Bell Street and close to transport, schools and shops. The exterior was clad in brick and the interior renovated in the 1980s. Timber-panelled ceilings, ceramic and granite floor tiles and slate-tiled walls reinforce the down-to-earth character. Nothing needs doing other than a cosmetic makeover if presentation isn’t to taste. The main bedroom has an en suite; the second bedroom adjoins a study and the third is opposite the bathroom. Connected living and dining rooms (with a fireplace in polished-granite surrounds) form the central hub. Cook produce from the veggie patch in the cosy kitchen, and the oversized, stainless-steel oven is a chef’s treasure. The backyard is mostly paved and has a small bungalow and a shed, and there’s a car space out front. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Price \ $580,000 +

Auction \ May 4 at 2pm

On this superior northern side of Molesworth Street, period houses with pretty façades dominate. This comfortable two-bedroom c1870s Victorian, less than three kilometres from the city, is a great proposition for first-home buyers and investors. A renovation in the late ’70s-early ’80s has added slate floors, timber-lined walls and ceilings, and an updated kitchen and bathroom.

Exposed-brick walls work well with the slate floor. High ceilings and ceiling roses provide familiar period character. Bedroom one has a fireplace with timber mantel. Bedroom two has a wall of built-in wardrobes. The kitchen and bathroom have been given a timber makeover. Blue tiles feature in both to good effect. Stained-glass windows in the kitchen add interest to the blue and grey tones and a shiny new Emilia gas cooker is a welcome update. The rear living room has a sunny aspect; it has a floor-to-ceiling wall of built-in cabinets and shelving, an electric heater and timber french doors that open up the space to a rear brick-paved courtyard. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

NORTHCOTE \ 70 ANDREW STREET This extended Edwardian presents with a seamless extension that really brings out its best. The freestanding, notched weatherboard façade holds its head high in the appearance-aware street and simplicity is the key to its interior-design success.

Two bedrooms with Baltic pine floors, ceiling roses, subtle feature walls and open fireplaces begin the linear floor plan. They are equal in size, and the second has built-in wardrobes.

The full width central living room has a ceiling fan and fireplace with beautiful tiled detail.

Illuminated by a huge peaked skylight, the functional, open kitchen sits beside the dining zone, which includes a glazed sitting area.

Grapevines climb the pergola over the covered rear deck, offering summer shade and winter sun. A lush patch of lawn stretches between it and the studio. Though small, this sunny studio could be used as a third bedroom.

Silver birch stand tall in boundary garden beds, brick paving denotes an off-street parking area and the roller door opens to a wide lane.

Ready, willing and able, this house should appeal to smart couples and small families appreciative of the advantages of a convenient, multicultural, community-minded and constantly evolving neighbourhood. All Nations Park is about three minutes’ walk away, as are Northcote Plaza and High Street trams and services. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Properties overlooking parklands have extra appeal, especially in the inner city.

Opposite Macarthur Square and within moments of trams, shops and restaurants, this early Victorian terrace house has been renovated with an emphasis on optimising internal light. Cutaways, extended glazing, white walls and timber floors reinforce that intent. The lacework-fringed façade concludes a charismatic run.

Inside, halls have been done away with to increase room sizes. The living room has decorative cornices and a ceiling rose, a fireplace and windows with plantation shutters. The dining room displays another fireplace and a servery to the kitchen. Fresh in white, the kitchen has a sloping, timber-panelled ceiling and a wide window to the courtyard. Both upstairs double bedrooms are bright. One has a fireplace and lovely park views and the other opens to an enclosed balcony.

There’s plenty of room for entertaining in the north-facing, bluestone-paved courtyard, which has an outhouse laundry, a toilet and a right-of-way to a walkway. \ KAY KEIGHERY

ALPHINGTON \ 7 PARK AVENUE This new residence matches its six-star energy rating with a stellar interior and a backyard spa that could see residents soaking under twinkling skies.

Alphington Park waits at one end of the short street and a city-bound boulevard at the other.

Signature styling begins before the front door and doesn’t let up until the rear garden concludes with tropical greenery.

Off-street parking precedes the garage and bluestone pavers cutting through pebbled gardens to the copper-toned front door.

Architectural flair is established in the wide entrance hall; ground-level spaces follow suit with polished-concrete floors, while the upstairs bedrooms have textured carpet.

The downstairs bedroom would make a fine home office. Linked by full-height doors that disappear into recessed cavities, the rest of ground floor is a library, a cool bathroom/ laundry combo and interlinked dining, kitchen and living areas. The chef gets the finest to work with, and a fire-engine red splashback.

Outdoor entertaining must have been integral to the design brief. There is a covered bluestone terrace, an open-air timber deck with a fireplace in a stone wall and that eight-person spa nestled in a forest of bamboo.

The second storey adds two big bedrooms, a bathroom and a balcony. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the balcony enjoys leafy views. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Piedimonte’s Supermarket is minutes from this reinvented period residence, which is even closer to a choice of cafés. The unassuming single-fronted façade belies the substantial accommodation within, as extensions to the original footprint see it stretch deep into the narrow allotment and four bedrooms render it suitable for a large family. Entry is via double doors with glass panels depicting kookaburras.

Ground level comprises a big bedroom with built-in wardrobes; a laundry; a bathroom with spa bath; and an open-plan living and dining area adjoining a spacious kitchen. The living and dining areas have caramel-coloured carpet and the dining area has a glass wall to a fernery. The kitchen has terracotta floor tiles, black-granite benchtops, stainless-steel appliances, timber cabinetry and a tiled splashback. The second storey is made up of a bathroom and three big bedrooms.

The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a glass door (with kookaburra motif) to a large deck. The paved rear courtyard has a roller door to a right-of-way. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Santorini Restaurant in Williamstown is re-opening for dinner on Monday 6th May 2013 after a protracted closure due to an unforeseen fire that occurred NYE. The building is the oldest original Post Office still standing in Victoria, and careful assessment was required before works for the re-opening could begin.

The restaurant has been fully refurbished with an exciting new decor and a fresh menu that includes some old favourites.

The owners of Santorini wish to thank the local emergency services that helped save this historical building and popular local eatery. Local staff were re-deployed by neighbouring businesses, but are all keen to return to their local Greek family.

The extended Santorini team are all keen to welcome back all the loyal local customers that have offered their best wishes during this difficult period, and say “Yiasou” - come back soon, and enjoy the fresh new Santorini experience.

McDonald ends on a high

Blues beat Blacks in colourful battle

It’s been a medal-winning season for this MCC player, writes Daniel Paproth

University Blues emerged victorious in its A Grade Victorian Amateur Football Association clash against rivals University Blacks, winning by 14 points in just the third game the clubs have played in 30 years.

Nick Smith kicked five goals on debut for the Blues, who at one point led by as much as 34 points before the Blacks came storming back.

At one point the Blacks closed to be within just two points but the Blues kicked away again to ensure they retained bragging rights over the Blacks, who have not beaten the Blues since the early 80s.

Fitzroy remains without a win in B Grade after falling to Old Brighton by 11 points.

The Lions trailed by just two points at threequarter time but could manage only five points in the last quarter as Old Brighton booted two goals in a low-scoring affair.

North Old Boys/St Patrick’s lost by 19 points to Banyule in C Grade, University High SchoolVictoria University lost by five points to Kew in division three.

In division four North Brunswick and Northern Blues lost and West Brunswick had the bye.

In Northern Football League division one Northcote Park scored a 19-point win over Bundoora while West Preston Lakeside scored its first win for the season by beating Macleod by 15 points.

Fitzroy Stars lost by 23 to North Heidelberg in division two and Reservoir beat Heidelberg West by 16 points in division three.

elbourne Cricket Club’s Brenton McDonald made his debut for Pembroke in Ireland at the weekend, just three weeks after capping off a sensational season in Victorian Premier Cricket with the Jack Ryder Medal.

The 28-year-old all-rounder decided to join the Leinster Cricket Union club during the UK’s summer. He has previously played in England to escape Melbourne’s winter.

McDonald is relishing the opportunity. ‘‘It should be a good experience. It means I get to miss out on pre-season fitness for Premier Cricket which is a good thing,’’ he says laughing.

On April 11, McDonald was a runaway winner of Premier Cricket’s highest honour, polling 37 votes. St Kilda’s Graeme Rummans was second on 29 votes. Fitzroy-Doncaster’s Lloyd Mash and Peter Dickson, Frankston’s Matt Chasemore, North Melbourne’s Trent Lawford and Ringwood’s Ian Holland tied for fifth on 28.

McDonald had a brilliant season, polling in 11 matches. He played 24 games across the three formats, scoring 598 runs at 43.69 to be inside the competition’s top 25 run-makers.

His leg-spinners proved tough for opposition sides to handle – he took the equal-most wickets in the competition with 54. Only Bryce McGain, another leggie, kept him from top spot – McGain had an average of 13.5, McDonald’s was 15.98.

He was invaluable to the team throughout the season, batting in the middle order and scoring quick runs when his team needed them the most – he belted 90 not out from 69 balls against Prahran in round 18 as the Demons tried to chase down Prahran’s total.

His bowling was just as crucial. He sent down 326.3 overs during the course of the season, and proved hard to score off – opposition batsmen took just 2.64 runs from him per over. He took three five-wicket hauls including 5/68 in the grand final against Ringwood.

McDonald says the Ryder Medal was a ‘‘bonus at the end of the year’’. ‘‘It was obviously very nice to be recognised,’’ he says. ‘‘You always aim to win the premierships and the individual award is another bonus.’’

Melbourne had a hugely successful season.

They took out the two-day, one-day and Twenty20 titles. McDonald says he could barely watch the tense two-day grand final. ‘‘It was a cracking game of cricket against Ringwood,’’ he says. ‘‘I was pacing up and down the corridor, it was hard to watch.’’

The win came a year after McDonald crossed from Richmond, with whom he won a flag in 2011-12. ‘‘This season was very enjoyable, Melbourne are a really good bunch of guys to play with,’’ he says.
