Ghost trams on board Has anyone noticed the increased prevalence of ghost trams in our public transport system?

I regularly catch the number 1 tram around the city. While waiting I keep an eye on the electronic board as it counts down: five minutes to arrival, three minutes, one, etc.

When the tram arrives the board is meant to note that the tram is due "NOW". But several times recently the boards have said the tram has arrived – when it clearly hasn’t – and has reset to advise that the tram is five minutes, nine minutes and (on one occasion) even 17 minutes away.

I believe there is a parallel, invisible public transport system accessible only to the phantom population of Melbourne, miserable spectres

Spectator sport

Don’t feed the possums Please enlighten me. Isn’t it against council regulations to hand feed possums in Curtain Square? (‘‘Possum man rejects animal cruelty claims’’, MTW, April 3, 2013).

Animal Active should be ashamed of themselves for artificially sustaining the possums by hand feeding.

Are they also aware they are providing sustenance by leaving food at the bottom of our trees for the overpopulated mynas who are decimating our native bird population?

Why isn’t the City of Yarra following up on the many complaints from North Carlton ratepayers and beyond and enforcing the law? If this feeding continues, the trees, which have just survived drought and the over population of possums, are surely doomed.

doomed to ride unreliable buses, trains and trams for eternity. I wonder whether they, too, have to use myki. That would be Hell, indeed.

Thank you Victoria

Parliament is a chamber where the competing ideologies of Australian politics meet. No more apt demonstration of this can be found than on the sturdy wooden shelves of the State Parliament magazine rack. In an utterly objective way, it hosts the right-winger’s champion, The Spectator, and the left-wing Social Alternatives together.

They nuzzle like old buddies, respectful of each other’s perspectives. We expect prospective readers would know exactly which one to choose.

Almost 6000 people from across the state registered and braved the shave for the Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave this year.

The support and generosity we have received from Victorians has been exceptional; every contribution to the campaign is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

On behalf of everyone at the Leukaemia Foundation, including patients, their families, volunteers and staff, we say a very special thank you for their outstanding efforts.

Almost $3 million has been raised across Victoria and over $15 million nationally. We are on the fast track to reaching our goal of $3.5 million in Victoria – and there is still time to donate, just call 1800 500 088 or visit worldsgreatestshave.com.

Can someone help this Thornbury resident rid their house of rodents?

This wanted ad, posted on Gumtree late last month, asks for the loan of a mouse-killing cat for a couple of weeks. ‘‘Since Christmas we have coexisted with Henry,’’ it reads. ‘‘We now think that Henry may have a family and either our mice have an aversion to peanut butter, bread and cheddar cheese, or we just suck at catching mice.’’ The poster promises to feed the cat extra food upon the death of a mouse and to drop ‘‘Fluffy’’ home when his work is done.

Energy savings miss target, report finds aschetzer@mmpgroup.com.au

DISADVANTAGED households are missing out on money and energysaving technology because they are being priced out of a state program.

According to a Brotherhood of St Laurence report, drastic changes need to be made to the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Scheme to make it more equitable to people who could

benefit most from paying less for electricity, water and gas.

Senior manager of equity and climate change, Damian Sullivan, said the system favoured wealthy households because they could better afford to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars in co-contributions for energy and money-saving technology such as insulation and space heaters.

Poorer households were more likely to take advantage of low-cost or free

the Brotherhood of St Laurence’s report, which provides additional perspective on the current performance of the scheme, and suggestions for the potential development of the scheme.’’

Mr Moate said a review of the program next year would determine whether changes should be made.

The Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Scheme helps residents reduce greenhouse gas emissions with free or low-cost energy-saving offers.

spend a higher proportion of disposable income on energy than do those on higher incomes,’’ the report says. ‘‘If the benefits of [a scheme] that are most likely to have the largest impacts on household energy costs flow to more advantaged households, this compounds pre-existing inequities.’’.

Anthony Moate, spokesman for Minister for Energy and Resources Nicholas Kotsiras, said: ‘‘The Victorian government notes with interest

offers, such as water-saving shower heads and energy-saving lightbulbs.

The report says it is crucial that disadvantaged households receive fair access to the scheme, especially at a time when energy costs are soaring.

According to the Essential Services Commission, electricity prices have increased an average 33 per cent in the past five years and gas has gone up 22 per cent in Victoria. ‘‘Households on lower incomes

Youth at risk of spine injury

BY BEAU DONELLY A THIRD of people who suffered quadriplegic and paraplegic injuries in Melbourne in the past six years live in the inner north-east.

Transport Accident Commission data released last month showed there were 117 spinal cord injuries in Victoria between 2006 and 2012 resulting from car crashes. Of the 73 people who lived in metropolitan Melbourne, 22 were in the inner north-east.

TAC data revealed young people aged 15 to 24 were most at risk of acquiring a spinal-cord injury.

The figures come as the annual SpinChat awareness program is being rolled out across the state.

Under the initiative, run in partnership with not-for-profit disability services provider Independence Australia, young people with spinalcord injuries visit schools and share their stories with students.

Independence Australia CEO Peter Turner said data shows most spinalcord injuries resulted from car crashes, water-related incidents and falls.

Calling all sexperts Want to help roll out next year’s Condom Day? Non-profit organisation YEAH (Youth Empowerment Against HIV/AIDS) is calling on 15-to-29-yearolds to join its ranks. YEAH volunteer and peer educator Gwyneth LovelaceTozer (pictured), 22, visits schools and hosts youth workshops. ‘‘I’m a big believer in peer education. People don’t want to be lectured to,’’ she said. From April 11 YEAH is promoting sexual health awareness to young people through workshops, music festivals and online. It needs people for its National Youth Sexual Health Council to coordinate programs during University Orientation Week, National Youth Week, schoolies, World AIDS Day and International Condom Day — also known as Valentine’s Day.

A MAN who claimed he was forcibly injected with heroin by two ‘‘radical feminists’’ in Collingwood more than 30 years ago has lost his bid for victims of crime compensation.

The man, who is referred to as BT, claimed he contracted hepatitis C after a woman named Jenny sexually

BT stated Jenny told him to visit ‘‘the house that Jack built’’ assaulted him and, with another woman, injected him with the drug in 1978.

BT stated in his application that following the incident Jenny told him to visit ‘‘the house that Jack built’’, slang for a sexual health clinic.

It wasn’t until 1993, BT said, that he started to feel unwell and three years

later was diagnosed with the illness.

He claimed it took so long to be diagnosed because between 1978 and 1996 no one knew what hepatitis C was.

The man also claimed his DNA changed after a course of Interferon alpha-2 medication.

A police report of the alleged 1978 incident was not made until 2007 because BT said that Jenny told him she had an inoperable brain tumour and had moved interstate.

BT took his case to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after his original application to the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal in September 2011 was rejected.

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal member Ian Proctor rejected the application, saying alleged victims must make a claim within two years of the incident.

There was insufficient evidence to make a finding, he said.

Abortion clinic calls for safety zone REBECCA HALLAS

BY ALANA SCHETZER and BEAU DONELLY PROTESTERS outside an East Melbourne abortion clinic have been accused of harassing staff and clients despite a ‘‘gentlemen’s agreement’’ to adhere to a buffer zone.

The Fertility Control Clinic’s renewed push for a protest exclusion zone comes as the Tasmanian parliament prepares to debate a private member’s bill, to be introduced by Health Minister Michelle O’Byrne, that would decriminalise abortion and establish safety zones around fertility clinics, granting a minimum distance between protesters and the building.

Abortion was decriminalised in Victoria in 2008.

The City of Melbourne painted a white line on the footpath, approximately 2.2 metres from the boundary of the clinic, several years ago as a guide for protesters, although it admits the distance cannot be enforced.

Members of pro-life groups, including 40 Days for Life and Helpers of

Pro-life group members protesting outside the Fertility Control Clinic in 2008 God’s Precious Infants, hold prayer vigils outside the clinic up to six days a week. They also hold a monthly procession from the city to the clinic that attracts up to 100 people.

Ten complaints against protesters have been made to the council in the

past 12 months.

The clinic’s psychologist, Dr Susie Allanson, said while some protesters quietly prayed or held up a sign, others were ‘‘fanatic’’ and caused considerable distress for women. ‘‘You have people who are real stal-

kers. They watch for women and their partners and their children coming into the clinic and they walk up to [them] saying ‘Don’t kill your baby’, ‘Don’t go into the slaughter house’.

They try to hand out brochures that have misinformation both about abortion and contraception,’’ she said. ‘‘All we’re asking is that [the protesters] stand across the other side of the road to protect staff and clients.’’

Forty Days for Life was contacted several times for comment, without success.

The group’s website states that all protesters must do so peacefully and must not obstruct driveways or sidewalks or ‘‘threaten, physically contact, or verbally abuse Fertility Control Clinic employees, volunteers, or customers’’.

Lord mayor Robert Doyle supports the creation of a safety zone, saying that current laws were ‘‘impotent’’ when it came to protecting staff and clients. He wrote to Attorney-General Robert Clark in 2011 requesting an exclusion zone around the clinic be

April 10, 2013

legislated. That request was rejected. ‘‘People have a right to protest. [But] you don’t have a right to harass or threaten or assault in the course of your protest,’’ he said.

Members of activist group Campaign for Women’s Reproductive Rights conduct a weekly ‘‘defence of the clinic’’, creating a barrier between protesters and the building’s entrance so staff and clients can enter and exit safely.

Group spokeswoman Debbie Brennan said the authorities did nothing to protect the women. ‘‘The [protesters] have done this for 40 years and the government have never done anything about it. The only people that have ever protected women and the clinic is us,’’ she said.

A City of Melbourne spokesman said the council continues to ‘‘monitor the situation and [we] are in regular contact with people with competing interests in the clinic’’.

Planning documents to be released online

BY BEAU DONELLY THE City of Melbourne will publicly release its submissions to the state government over controversial developments in a move it maintains is ‘‘not going to war’’ with Planning Minister Matthew Guy. The council passed a motion late last month to publish on its website its position on planning applications for developments exceeding 25,000 sqm, which automatically fall under the responsibility of Mr Guy. The database will link to all documents related to decisions made in the past five years and describe the difference between the council’s recommendations and the state government’s actions.

It comes after Mr Guy last month approved the Australia 108 building, which would be the tallest apartment tower in the southern hemisphere.

Cr Stephen Mayne, who introduced the motion, said it would disclose

information that would ‘‘empower’’ council officers. ‘‘I think it’s fair to say that things are moving very fast in the City of Melbourne when it comes to development approvals. We’re all feeling a bit weak here. We’re all feeling like we don’t matter, that the minister’s doing what the minister does,’’ Cr Mayne said.

But lord mayor Robert Doyle acknowledged the move could fuel conflict between the council and Mr Guy. ‘‘The tension is between the city trying to have a coherent, consistent view ... versus the nature of ministerial intervention, which is always going to be case-by-case and therefore ad hoc,’’ he said.

Since 2010 Mr Guy has approved $8 billion worth of development and 41 towers, flagging the CBD as ‘‘ripe for more high-rise development’’.

The database will go live with 2012-13 planning decisions from July.

A spokeswoman for Matthew Guy said the motion was a ‘‘matter for council’’.

New home for Assange team WikiLeaks Party National Council members Kaz Cochrane (left) and Samantha Castro settle in to their new digs in Fitzroy ahead of the September 14 federal election, keen to tackle the task ahead. Cochrane and Castro, who co-founded the support group WikiLeaks Australian Citizens Alliance in 2010, will work on Julian Assange’s bid for a Senate seat from the party’s headquarters in Kindness House on Brunswick Street. Castro says Kindness House has enough space for the party’s core team and about 100 volunteers. ‘‘And there are lots of other NGOs [non-government organisations] in the building working to help the planet. I feel excited and privileged to be breaking new ground,’’ she says.

Former Liberal Party staffer Greg Barns, who is national campaign director for the WikiLeaks Party, will move into the building as the campaign ramps up.

Student with stolen passports can stay

BY BEAU DONELLY A FOREIGN student who was in possession of two stolen passports when police raided his St Kilda Road apartment has escaped conviction and been allowed to remain in Australia.

Indonesian Denny Cayhadi, 23, pleaded guilty in Melbourne Magistrates Court to four charges, including obtaining property by deception, obtaining financial advantage by deception and two counts of theft.

Cayhadi stole a wallet from the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre on January 12 and used his victim’s credit card to buy $330 worth of designer clothing online.

Police executed a search warrant on his home on January 24 after he collected the parcel of clothing from the post office using an Indonesian person’s driver’s licence as identification. During the search police seized an Australian and a Thai passport, a driver’s licence and a credit card, none of which belonged to Cayhadi.

CYCLING IN MELBOURNE: JOIN THE DISCUSSION

He was sentenced without conviction to be on good behaviour for 12 months.

In sentencing magistrate Rose Falla acknowledged that Cayhadi did not have a criminal record and had entered a guilty plea. ‘‘I balance that with the fact that this is serious offending,’’ Ms Falla said. ‘‘You have stolen from someone and then used their personal details to your gain.’’

Cayhadi is due to face court again on July 10 over an earlier alleged theft at MSAC. He is accused of stealing a wallet from the Albert Park sports complex on November 6, 2012, and using the victim’s credit card to book appointments at a South Melbourne brothel.

Police arrested him in the brothel foyer last year after auditing the victim’s bank statement and discovering two appointments had been made on the same day.

Cayhadi is facing three charges in relation to that matter, including theft and obtaining financial advantage by deception. Cayhadi has been living in Australia on a student visa since 2008 and is studying accounting.

COVERSTORY

SCOTT MCNAUGHTON

School of rock

Veteran punk rocker, music journalist and social welfare worker Paul Stewart has always lived life to the fullest. By Robert Fedele t was supposed to be their only gig. A hits and giggles ‘benefit’ to pay off a friend’s parking fine. They had called themselves Painters and Dockers, in honour of the notorious union which called the Port Melbourne pub they were playing at home.

Paul Stewart was meant to play trumpet on one song but was roped into being lead singer.

The ear-splitting music filled the room to the brim. And then it all went pear-shaped. ‘‘The neighbour hated us so much he jumped the fence’’ – Stewart stops mid-sentence to assure me of the veracity of his anecdote – “with an axe and chopped up the mixing desk.

Someone rang the cops. The police arrived at the pub. They tried to get in. The real Painters and Dockers said no. An all-in brawl broke out between the police and Dockers. ‘‘The kids who were there to see us were screaming and going berserk. Things were flying. People were getting smashed. People were laughing hysterically. And I looked around and thought, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life’.’’

For the Dockers, the musical kind, it was the beginning of a notable career. ‘‘That led to about 1500 gigs, seven albums, and tours of New York, Canada and New Zealand a couple of times,’’ Stewart says. ‘‘We got to support people like Midnight Oil and The Monkees and Iggy Pop and Billy Idol.

It was awesome.’’

Today, Stewart, of Newport, is sitting at a table at the Brosnan Centre in Brunswick, run by Jesuit Social Services, where he works as a project officer. The long dark hair of his youth is sprinkled with salt and pepper, but the cheeky grin and optimism remains.

Social welfare is a far cry from his heady days as a punk rocker, but it’s a role which he seems to enjoy as much, if not more.

It’s hard to know where to begin when chatting to Stewart about his decorated life, which has also included working as a journalist at the Herald Sun for 30 years and ongoing community work in East Timor.

The 52-year-old grew up in St Kilda and wasn’t particularly into music until he went to RMIT university. His first girlfriend was an alternative lass with blue hair and he followed her along to see bands. It was at gigs that he met the quintet of lads who would become Painters and Dockers, an irreverent punk rock band formed in the early ’80s and known for such hits as Nude School and Die Yuppie Die. Stewart describes the band, which was inducted into the EG Hall of Fame in 2009, as ‘‘unique’’ and ‘‘individual’’, neither champions of the underground nor the mainstream.

They were signed to Mushroom Records and Nude School was perhaps their biggest hit. The video clip was shot at a pig farm with band members naked and their bits covered

I

up by pigs’ feet. Stewart says the band ‘‘lucked in’’ with MTV launching in Australia around the same time on a Friday night. ‘‘For the first three weeks the first song they played was Nude School ... because the clip was so wacky.’’

Journalism and Stewart’s eternal link with East Timor and helping its people will always be intertwined. He started off as a copy boy at the Sun News-Pictorial in 1979. For the first few years he wrote about the price of apples and was then on the horse racing round.

At one stage he sat between fellow cadets Mark Trevorrow, now a comedian best known for his alter ego Bob Down, and (now comedian) Wendy Harmer. It took him almost a decade to be promoted to the role of music journalist.

Looking back, Stewart is under no illusions about his foot in the door. He says he never would have landed the job if it hadn’t been for ‘‘Balibo’’. ‘‘I can remember I went into the job interview and the guy wasn’t even listening to me. And he’s like, ‘Why do you want to be a journo?’. And I was like, ‘Because my brother was one’. And he said, ‘Who was your brother?’ and I said, ‘Oh, well, he was Tony Stewart, one of the guys killed up in East Timor’. And he went, ‘Shit’!’’

Stewart was a teenager when his brother rother was one of five journalists who were killed while reporting on activities just prior to the Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975. Stewart was close to his older brother and the tragedy has never left him, partly due to his own grief and more so because of people’s ceaseless interest.

The Dockers gave him a chance to rebel. ‘‘That’s why punk rock was such a great outlet because I got to scream and go berserk and people paid me.’’

Stewart ‘‘lucked in’’ at the Sun when en a former editor decided to revamp the he newspaper by including a music section ion and chose Stewart, who was sporting pink hair at the time and was well and truly entrenched in the Dockers, as its writer and columnist.

Stewart continued his double life as a journo/ punk rocker with much success. He took three years off in the mid-’80s to perform with the Dockers full-time. By 1997, he says, the Dockers had run their course. He went on to form the Dili Allstars, a reggae and soul outfit which included some blokes from the Dockers and some musicians from East Timor. Stewart believes being a Docker worked better when he was young and had a healthy liver.

Which brings us around to his story of survival and his own brush with death. In

2007, he underwent a liver transplant, no doubt triggered by a life of excess and years of heavy drinking, but not before he thought his time was up.

Stewart was on a waiting list for a liver transplant for 18 months and had almost given up hope. He tells a story about a nun who came to visit him on his death bed at the Austin Hospital. He discovered she was from East Timor, a coincidence that made him laugh at the time.

The pair continued chatting and the nun promised to find Stewart a liver through prayer, but only if he agreed to help out the kids in Timor in return. Two days later a donor arrived out of the blue. ‘‘People know me and they go, ‘Paulie, you’re full of shit, mate.

That is just a coincidence’. And I say to them,

‘You weren’t there dying in that bed and you ‘Y don’t know what it was like’. For me it was a d miracle.’’

Stewart still sees it as a life-changing moment. He kept his end of the bargain, forming an ongoing link to help out disadvantaged children in East Timor. In 2009, he organised an appeal to buy the nuns a van to get around. Late last year he visited the country for the 13th time, his present project is to build a school for the children. ‘‘Every time I go up there it’s like this is the last time and then some little Timorese person will give you a smile and it gets you back in.

The other day it hit me and I thought, hang on.

In the ’80s it was sex, drugs and rock ‘n’roll.

Now I’m hanging out with nuns. What has happened?’’ I

She says children suffer with food “In many families things have been allowed knowledge because of disengaged parents, to slide.

as social behaviour or interacting or having conversations around a table, it’s not the norm.

“We hear frequently from children in our schools they get so excited about setting the table and putting flowers and herbs in the middle of the table … because they don’t sit at a table with anyone.”

Alexander is hopeful that the next generation will learn about food and then teach their children. This, she says, is the best way for cultural change. But it can’t happen by itself.

“I believe passionately that the intervention we have designed works. I believe if it were universally available to schools I believe that would change a generation of children.

However, I also know how much it would cost … so I don’t want to appear naive.

“But I do know that the costs of diabetes and all those other things are astronomical.”

Alexander is keen to spend more time writing. The author of this country’s bestknown cook book, The Cook’s Companion, writes a monthly column in Gourmet Traveller about her garden. She also wants to beef up a newsletter on her website.

I got the feeling Alexander wasn’t too cross with me for occasionally serving dinner in front of Modern Family. She says it’s important to set a dinner table regularly, not always. I can hold my head high in front of Australia’s legendary fresh-food guru.

s anyone still watching this show? While the first season of this David Duchovny vehicle was enjoyable enough, it’s been driving in ever-diminishing circles ever since. Now halfway through its fifth series, any potential edginess has rubbed off, leaving a grubby, salacious and not terribly funny sex comedy. In this week’s episode, Hank (Duchovny) meets a penis-obsessed lesbian, while his buddy Charlie is sleeping with his son’s nanny in his ex-wife’s bed. As you do.

Essentially, it’s part soap opera, part Carry On film and part soft porn. The unlikely scenarios might provide an uncomfortable glimpse into middle-aged male fantasies, but their execution is thoroughly juvenile. You can almost hear the sniggers every time someone says “dick”.

If there’s one reason to tune in, it’s Rob Lowe.

Lowe has recently proved himself the comic highlight of Parks and Recreation and he’s on excellent form here as a faded rock star whose “tiny dancer” is kaput. But, really, you’d be better off watching his segments on YouTube.

T

he second album from Melbourne duo Amy Franz and Hayley McKee is the best sort of throwback. Simple, fuzzy and fun, Crosswords is a reminder of the power of rock and roll. Swampy dirge Memphis is sinister and claustrophobic, Dragging the Fog is sparse and heartbroken, and opener Alligator is thrilling and raucous.

Throughout, the duo offer a joyous mix of garage rock and 60s girl pop. Their decision to cover Smokey Robinson’s You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me seems intended as a statement – a deliberately rough and ready one. This isn’t fakePolaroid hipster retro. If it’s retro at all, it’s in the sense that it recaptures the thrill of hearing an old song for the first time.

Rock music isn’t supposed to be sweet, but raw, energising and gloriously messy.

Crosswords is all of those things.

t’s unusual to find a romance that begins with the hero eating his lover’s ex-boyfriend. But there is little that is usual about Warm Bodies – the world’s first zombie romantic comedy (or zomromcom). Set in a post-apocalyptic future,

this very funny and oddly sweet film sees the undead R (Nicholas Hoult) fall in love with the very alive Julie (Teresa Palmer). Falling in love isn’t the kind of thing zombies tend to do, so this simple act sends ripples through the undead community, who prefer to shuffle and groan about an abandoned airport.

Jonathan Levine’s film has great fun playing with genre expectations, so much so that it occasionally feels like a spoof. But any daftness

is redeemed by its potent black humour and Hoult’s wry, self-aware narration. His R is a curious beast, learning what it means to be human again via old records (“Vinyl sounds better”), while gnawing on stockpiled brains.

The film’s greatest success, however, is making its impossible premise work. The absurd romance between dead boy and living girl feels convincing. In short, it’s a movie with heart and (lots and lots of) brains.

travelling circus is the backdrop for a dark, funny and musical guide to nine of America’s most notorious figures.

Written by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, this black comedy stars men and women who have taken a shot at US presidents. This new Australian production features an impressive array of local talent led by Nadine Garner, but the real draw is Sondheim’s score. Taking in folk, ragtime, hoedowns, Broadway ballads and barbershop quartets, this is an unusual, varied and very stylish musical from the acclaimed composer.

S

potting lots of new cars lately? Car companies have lots of marketing ideas, but the most effective way to get brands and products known is to have lots of them out on the road. Car marketers have always assumed that when people keep seeing them they figure lots are being sold and thus lots of buyers like them. Now research published in a recent issue of The Journal of Marketing Research backs this up strongly.

It’s why most car companies give at least some of their employees irresistible deals on cars and, depending on just how visible the company wants its products to be, these deals can be offered to senior executives only, or to every employee.

When I was an executive with a major car company I received a car for myself and a lease car for my wife. My car didn’t cost me anything, with the company picking up the fringe benefits tax and fuel. The lease car had a monthly payment that was taken out of my pay, totalling 1 per cent of the purchase price of the car my wife chose.

Both cars were changed for new ones at least once a year, sometimes three or four times.

Given that the company paid all the lease car’s running costs except fuel (yep, it paid the insurance, rego, servicing, parts – it even replaced all the wheels and tyres when they were stolen one night, the car left sitting on stacks of bricks) this was a top deal. But it only applied to executives

because this was an established brand with excellent “street presence’’.

Later I worked for an emerging brand when it first hit Australia and we offered lease cars to every employee. We wanted as many out there as possible. But in all my years in and around the industry, I’ve never heard of a deal as generous as that being offered to employees of Volkswagen in the United States.

The Washington Post reported that the company offers lease cars (at a monthly payment of 1.5 per cent of the purchase price) to all employees, their spouses, children, parents and spouse’s parents.

That means employees with a couple of driving-age kids could have up to eight company cars out and about, all of them being changed at least annually. It says much about the dismal state of the American car market.

So what happens to all these cars when the company takes them back? I can’t speak for the USA but locally they’re usually auctioned to the brand’s dealers.

They’re then sold either as company demonstrators or used cars.

It’s an expensive exercise but as a marketing tool it’s a proven winner. It’s also why jobs in car companies are hard to get.

So when you notice lots of new models running around don’t assume the drivers are smiling because they love the car. They may just love the deal they’re getting. I

FAIRFIELD \ 48 GORDON STREET

WE LOV E IT

T

he appeal of an apartment in an award-winning building, opposite the Royal Exhibition Building and gardens, is as much in its luxuriously appointed interior as it is its incredibly central – and scenic – location.

Though Carlton is a suburb known for historic houses, this apartment offers the very best of low-maintenance but high-spec living for those looking to move away from the white picket fence ideal.

The Garden House apartment building is set over four levels, tucked behind foliage that allows views through to the gardens beyond while keeping out the eyes of passers-by. It has won national and state awards from the Urban Development Institute of Australia for its design and function.

The building houses just 46 apartments, offering secure access off the street. This apartment takes up part of the second floor – a stellar spot to enjoy some of the best of the building’s outlook.

Inside, Hecker Guthrie is responsible for creating a sophisticated interior dominated by the kind of cool, neutral tones that engender creation of a very adult space.

Open via key-less entry to an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flowing through to a balcony offering an ideal space to step out and enjoy the location.

But back to a kitchen that is no mere afterthought. Case in point is the stainless-steel Gaggenau stovetop, wok burner and side-by-side convection and steam ovens supported by a dual rangehood to ensure extraction of cooking aromas from the apartment space.

A pantry hides breakfast paraphernalia while a built-in bar in the dining room brings to mind Mad Men-style cocktail hour as day segues to evening.

Adjoining the bar is a similarly built-in study. This clever use of space repeats throughout the interior design, be it the European laundry tucked to the left of the entry or the slim, side courtyard-cum-light well that ensures the second bedroom to the apartment’s rear still has light and a view.

Expansive windows provide a picture-perfect frame for the living room, a feature repeated in the main bedroom.

Here, the en suite is almost as impressive as the outlook: the Turkish limestone benchtops and walls that feature throughout brings elegance to the large bathroom, replete with free-standing bath, double sink and roomy shower.

The second bedroom is serviced by a smaller – though no less stylish – second bathroom just off the main living area.

But if the design is simple, sophisticated and easy to love, it is the extras that really make this apartment something special.

Consider the advantages of ducted heating and cooling, a secure storage space separate to that aforementioned basement parking for two cars, a residents-only downstairs lounge-cum-reception area, video surveillance and video intercom to the garage and the main apartment entry.

This is a dream for outer suburban downsizers, city-based professionals or a young couple looking to access all the advantages of central Carlton-living without the renovation headache of the historic terraces the suburb is known for.

Of course, it is close to public transport, the city, Lygon and Rathdowne street villages, the Queen Victoria Market, theatres, parks and restaurants and bars. \ SARINA LEWIS property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Don’t be fooled by the single-fronted façade of this period residence. Made possible by the large allotment, the house has been extended in width and depth to include a large main bedroom and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

All spaces enjoy lots of natural light and original features are complemented by contemporary additions. The main bedroom features Baltic pine floors and a wall of built-in wardrobes; the second child’s bedroom has a pretty wall frieze and the smaller third bedroom is also well presented. In the kitchen, stainless-steel appliances are fitted among white benchtops. The dining area, off the kitchen, is also close to the large living area, where double doors open to the back garden. With timber-panelled walls, terracotta floor tiles, a clawfoot bath and a walk-in shower, the bathroom is a treat. The back garden includes a covered terrace. A studio with storeroom attached to the house has a separate entrance. Schools, shops, transport and riverside parklands are nearby and there is a driveway for off-street parking. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Auction \ April 13 at 2pm

An elaborate double frontage is a precursor to what this 1920s-built house has in store. It is a house of two halves: the type of renovation that leaves the period features of the front rooms untouched while opening the rear to accommodate an open plan. A living room and front bedroom with built-in wardrobes retain elegant moulded ceilings. Further up the arched corridor is a second bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a shared bathroom, and the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The back of the house is dominated by a kitchen constructed to the standards of a vendor who was once a professional chef. Home cooks will love the timber island bench, the marble benchtop and the walk-in-pantry, but the Rosières Paul Bocuse double oven steals the show. Eye-catching design elements include high ceilings (with timber frame feature in living room), a wood-burning heater, and reclaimed jarrah floorboards. Outside is a covered deck and paved backyard. Extras include off-street parking, air-conditioning and proximity to Nicholson Street. \ SARINA LEWIS

Park View is a beautiful example of an 1880s boom-style Victorian house and, unlike many in the area, it still boasts immaculate period features. The tuck-pointed Hawthorn brick façade with a commanding ornamented parapet is a triumph of Victorian architecture. Combined with a location that is hard to beat in inner-city Melbourne, on the fringe of Princes Park, this is an opportunity that will appeal to small families, young professionals and downsizers. Inside, features such as Baltic pine floors, ceilings roses, deep-moulded cornices and original fireplaces are instantly impressive and well showcased by all-white interiors. The floor plan typically finds the three bedrooms off a hall that opens up to a living space. Rather than have the third bedroom transformed into a bathroom, here, the rear lean-to houses a new bathroom. The kitchen is compact but granite benchtops, a stainless-steel Emilia stove and lots of cupboard space ensures functionality. The rear concrete courtyard has a right-of-way adding off-street parking convenience. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

THORNBURY \ 14 FRANCIS GROVE Known to the locals as “the old rehab centre”, this four-bedroom solid-brick Californian bungalow shows no sign of being anything but an immaculately renovated family home in beautifully landscaped surrounds. However, unusually for a floor plan of a bungalow, this house has a basement level that houses a rumpus room, gym and wine/storage area. A large swimming pool, previously used for hydrotherapy purposes, has been filled in, making space for these new therapies. Double doors and bay windows with stained glass adorn the front of the house.

The two carpeted front bedrooms, the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite and the second with built-in wardrobes and a front study alcove, have a modern feel with neutral colours and downlights that is enhanced by period details such as the stained-glass bay windows. Bedrooms three and four and the main bathroom are further down the wide hall that then opens to a large, open-plan space highlighted by expansive windows.

These tinted windows showcase the leafy rear garden and have electric blinds to provide privacy. The kitchen is well integrated into the space and features CaesarStone benchtops, stainless-steel Blanco appliances and a hidden pantry that keeps all the clutter out of sight.

Sliding doors reveal two timber decks and a compact, superbly planned rear garden. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

A historic house built in 1869, which has lived many lives – at one point as a Baptist church and, later, as the home to Victorian governor Dr Davis McCaughey – is up for grabs in a quiet corner of North Melbourne. The single-level house is beautiful in its simplicity, set as it is deep in to a 655-square metre block coloured by a deliberately overgrown cottage garden. Its layout is uncomplicated: the front four rooms are given over to three bedrooms (one a main with walk-in-wardrobe and en suite) and an expansive lounge. The rear houses a second bathroom, open kitchen and casual meals area, separate dining room with open fire, a study and a large fourth bedroom that has a wall of built-in-wardrobes and direct access to the paved rear courtyard shaded by a mature smoke tree. There is right-of-way access from a laneway to the backyard (which has space for off-street parking for a single car) and a single car garage directly off Chapman Street. Close to the city, there is scope to improve but no immediate necessity. \ SARINA LEWIS

Demons dominate the play

Blues kick off with a bang

Team’s rising star and captain-coach wrap up a winning season, writes Daniel Paproth

The Northern Blues kicked off their Victorian Football League season with a bang on Saturday night, beating premiership fancies Werribee by 15 points.

In fact,the final margin flattered the Tigers, as the Blues were dominant for most of the night.

Most expected Werribee to win after the ominous 72-point victory over Port Melbourne the week before but the Blues got the jump early and were never headed.

The Blues kicked five goals to four in a tight first term and generally looked better.

Their pressure around the football was immense and would remain so for the rest of the game.

The win was set up in the second and third quarters, when the Blues kicked 11 goals to Werribee’s seven.

By three-quarter time the Blues had established a 26-point lead.

Werribee started the final quarter with two quick goals to cut the lead and were all of a sudden within 10 points.

But the Blues steadied, replied and eventually got out to an unassailable 33-point lead.

The Tigers kicked three late goals but it was too little too late and the Blues notched their first win for the season.

Tyson Thomas was outstanding, booting five goals, while Carlton-listed players Ed Curnow, Aaron Joseph and Robbie Warnock were all very good.

Warnock was influential in the ruck and had a big impact on the game.

elbourne capped off one of the most dominant seasons in Victorian Premier Cricket history with its 20th premiership at Junction Oval on Easter Monday.

The Demons beat Ringwood by seven wickets in the three-day grand final played over the Easter weekend, the club’s second First XI flag in four seasons.

They were set 173 for victory in its second innings and fittingly it was young star Alex Keath (50 not out) and captain-coach Andrew Kent (25 not out) who saw Melbourne over the line.

The Rams were in hot form heading into the match, with its top order scoring runs with ease. Opener David King had scored four centuries in six weeks prior and got to a halfcentury in the grand final after Kent sent Ringwood into bat.

The Rams were batting comfortably at 1/102 before Brenton McDonald did as he had done all season and changed the game. He took 5/68, including the wicket of King, and Ringwood were all out for 234.

In Melbourne’s first innings 19-year-old Matt Begbie starred. He was called into the line-up after Andrew McDonald’s IPL commitments prevented him from playing and made 93 in a composed, chanceless innings.

Melbourne made 255 and took the lead on

LOOK WHAT WE WON: Demons vice-captain Michael Hill (left) and skipper Andrew Kent first innings. Ringwood reached 7/194 in reply before declaring, but the Demons made light work of the total, with Bushrangers regular Michael Hill scoring 79.

When the winning runs were finally scored Kent breathed a sigh of relief, knowing his side had secured the flag they had been preparing for since March last year. ‘‘It was a huge relief,’’ he said. ‘‘You put so

much emotion, effort and time into the season and it all comes down to one weekend.’’

Kent praised his side for standing up when it counted against Ringwood. ‘‘There’s no doubt about that, they were the form side,’’ he said. ‘‘We probably had a bit more talent but it was about whether our match-winners could do the business.’’
