Bernie out of order OUR COVER: Private detective Tim Carrodus says fraud is difficult to prove. Story: 16-17 Picture: Michael Copp

Sport

utspoken Liberal MP Bernie Finn last week launched a tirade against western suburbs lobby group LeadWest. Speaking in State Parliament, the Western Metropolitan upper house member effectively accused the organisation of being a front for the Labor Party. Mr Finn even called on Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell to conduct an inquiry into the funding it receives from councils across the west. Founded in 2007, LeadWest states its objective is to ‘‘foster and undertake actions that will support sustainable growth and regional development of Melbourne’s west’’. Members include Wyndham, Brimbank, Melton, Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley councils, Western Health and Victoria University. Many similar advocacy groups operate across the state, including the Committee for Melbourne, G21 Geelong Region Alliance and our own Committee for Wyndham. Each passionately advocates on behalf of their communities, pressuring governments to listen to the needs of those they represent. Mr Finn also questioned if LeadWest was ‘‘value for money’’, claiming it was simply replicating economic, tourism and business promotion work of councils. He went on to claim LeadWest was the only group in the west to defend the federal government’s carbon tax. On its website, LeadWest states it has an independent chairman, Barry Harvey, five directors representing councils, and four directors elected by its members. Founding chairman Ralph Willis was a federal Labor MP and minister in the Hawke and Keating governments. While it’s not the first time Mr Finn has made headlines for making outrageous statements, this time he’s gone too far. Rather than attempting to discredit LeadWest, he would be better served holding those in his own party to account to ensure they deliver for the people he represents — the people of the west.

INBRIEF

Prices sag as consumer confidence drops HOUSE prices in Wyndham have fallen by more than 10 per cent over the past year, according to new figures from the state’s peak real estate body. Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s September quarter figures show a drop in median house prices of between 5 and 13 per cent in all Wyndham’s suburbs except Werribee and Williams Landing, where prices fell by 0.1 and 1.3 per cent respectively. The largest decline in prices was in Point Cook. In September 2011, the median house price was $485,000. In September this year, the median price was just $420,000. Wyndham Vale prices fell almost 12 per cent to $300,000, while Hoppers Crossing recorded a drop of close to 7 per cent. Prices fell by 6 and 5.9 per cent in Tarneit and Truganina respectively. Point Cook Real Estate sales manager Peter Gaidzkar said Wyndham’s declining prices reflected Victoria’s slower economy. ‘‘No one would say that over the

Airport upgrade ‘a big step’ Tourism in Wyndham will get a boost, with Avalon to become Melbourne’s second international airport.

last 12 months [house] prices have gone up. Prices have softened over the last 12 to 18 months. ‘‘It’s because of the economy overall and uncertainty and it is a global problem. It’s not just something for Australia, Victoria or Wyndham. ‘‘When consumer confidence comes back into the market, prices will rise again.’’ Wyndham was not the only area where house prices fell over the past year. In Melton, prices fell by 14 per cent, while in Altona the decline was 7 per cent. REIV chief executive Enzo Raimondo said buyers and sellers had been acting cautiously across the state in the past year, with consumer confidence at a low. Mr Gaidzkar said Wyndham’s house prices remained among Melbourne’s lowest, making it a popular area for first-home buyers. ‘‘There is improved affordability in the area. Coupled with decreases in interest rates, it has made Wyndham popular.’’

Cops grab $19m in drugs Cannabis crops have been seized from new housing estate properties in Tarneit during a massive police operation that has resulted in a haul of $19 million of drugs. Police have raided 46 properties in Melbourne’s north and west as part of Operation Taxa since July 30. They have arrested 19 people. Assistant Commissioner Steve Fontana said the aim of the continuing operation was to dismantle ‘‘grow houses’’ in a bid to crack down on organised crime syndicates involved in the production of cannabis.

Husband, wife lose licences A husband and wife from Point Cook have had their licences suspended after being caught speeding on Dunnings Road. Police stopped the woman, 32, at 7.10pm on Monday after detecting her travelling at 102km/h in a 60 zone. She was fined $599, lost six demerit points and had her licence suspended for six months. Her husband, who was driving behind her, was caught at 93km/h and was fined $458, lost four demerit points and had his licence suspended for one month.

New flood risk brings insurance rise shock BY LAURA LITTLE RESIDENTS of Werribee’s Vaina Street are in shock after receiving massive house insurance increases because they are considered to be living in a flood zone. The street, which is several kilometres from the Werribee River, has been declared a flood risk by Melbourne Water, prompting a large increase in insurance premiums. One resident, who asked not to be named, said his contents insurance had risen by 142 per cent

since last year. The resident rents a house in the street and last year took out renters insurance with CGU for $35 a month. When his renewal notice arrived in September, his payments had increased to $85. When he questioned the increase, CGU told him it was because his house was at risk of flooding. ‘‘It was a shock. I live at the northern end [of the street] and the river is at the southern end. ‘‘There is an embankment and another street between Vaina Street and the river. There is no way that river is going to

cause flooding in this street,’’ the resident said. ‘‘For it to flood there would need to be a Noah’s Ark situation. There are long-term residents who say they have never seen the street flood.’’ CGU said insurance premiums had increased because the company introduced automatic flood cover into its policies in February this year. Spokesman Sean Sampson said CGU used government and council inundation maps, as well as its own research and modelling, to determine which areas were at risk of flooding.

‘‘If customers disagree with our flood assessment they are welcome to contact us and provide any additional information they feel may assist in our knowledge of the flood risk.’’ Wyndham chief executive Kerry Thompson said the council was not responsible for flood maps. ‘‘Melbourne Water determines flooding areas based on their mapping and data.’’ She said the council had carried out mitigation work in the early 1990s, including the construction of a levy bank, to prevent flooding in the area.

Pregnant mum loses baby after car crash BY LAURA LITTLE

On September 14, a 33-year-old man died after being hit by a car while crossing Palmers Road near Sayers Road in Williams Landing. Leading Senior Constable Dawn Youla of Werribee police urged pedestrians to ensure they crossed roads in safe, well-lit locations at night and wore visible clothing. Drivers could make the roads safer by staying within speed limits and being alert to changing road conditions, she said. ‘‘Unfortunately, within the Wyndham area there have been two recent fatal collisions. ‘‘These incidents should highlight to all road users the importance of remaining fully focused

on the job in hand. When driving, limit distractions and curtail the use of mobile phones.’’ Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said the deaths were a timely reminder for people to take care on the roads. ‘‘I’m urging everyone to keep talking about road safety — have the discussion with your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours about the importance of obeying the road rules. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. ‘‘This also applies to motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. Anyone who uses Victorian roads shares that responsibility. Be courteous, be patient and above all, be careful,’’ he said.

POLICE are pleading with motorists and pedestrians to be alert and obey road rules after two deaths as a result of collisions on Wyndham roads. A 51-year-old man died after being hit by a car in Hoppers Crossing on Saturday and a baby girl died after a collision in Point Cook about 10am last Tuesday at the intersection of Boardwalk Boulevard and Dunnings Road. A pregnant Point Cook woman involved in the crash gave birth prematurely and the baby died in hospital later that day.

Police believe a man driving a white van stopped to help those involved in the crash and are appealing for him and other witnesses to contact them. The 51-year-old man was hit by a car about 3am on Saturday while crossing Hogans Road near the intersection of Bethany Road. Police said he was struck after stepping off the pedestrian traffic island in the middle of the road. He died at the scene. The driver of the car and her passenger, both women in their 20s, were not injured. The man was the second pedestrian killed crossing a road in Wyndham in the past month.

Fiesta a la Point Cook Up to 55,000 people flocked to enjoy the spring sunlight at Point Cook Fiesta on Sunday, taking in live entertainment, bands, carnival rides and local produce. Stockland spokeswoman Lina Maroun said the town centre was buzzing with excitement from 11am5pm. ‘‘The spirit was very positive and everyone was so happy. There was just a real sense of community that was alive.’’ Highlights included street performers like Circus Mystique (pictured), a visit from children’s television character Peppa Pig and music from blues revue Cold Snap and rockers Masketta Fall.

Tax for roads idea hits a hurdle BY LAURA LITTLE and NICK TOSCANO THE federal government has rejected housing industry calls for carbon tax revenue to bankroll infrastructure projects in outer suburbs. The Urban Development Institute of Australia last week urged the government to consider funding roads, tunnels, public transport and employment precincts with carbon tax revenue. UDIA state director, Tony De Domenico, said the need for substantial investment was mostpressing in growth areas such as Wyndham, Melton, Hume Whittlesea and Casey, where massive population growth was outstripping available infrastructure. Tight economic times and the federal government’s lower GST allocations to Victoria this year meant the state government couldn’t afford to fund these much-needed projects on its own, he said. Mr De Domenico said investing carbon tax revenue in infrastructure ‘‘made sense’’ environmentally because the projects would reduce pollution from peak-hour traffic snarls. ‘‘One has to ask the question why public infrastructure such as roads, tunnels or public transport cannot be financed in part from carbon tax credits as they all will help reduce carbon

pollution.’’ Mr De Domenico said creating employment opportunities in growth areas would also help slash the numbers of cars on the roads during peak periods. But the federal government said revenue from the tax was already being used to cut emissions through investment in clean energy, with the remainder going into assistance packages to cushion the blow of price hikes on household budgets. A spokesman for Prime Minister and Lalor MP Julia Gillard said it was appropriate that carbon tax revenue was being used for investments that would help shift Australia to a lower carbon economy. He said funding for infrastructure projects, including Regional Rail Link, were provided through Infrastructure Victoria. Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury supported the housing industry’s push for carbon tax cash, saying Victoria was not getting its ‘‘fair share’’ of federal funds. LeadWest chief executive Anton Mayer said he would support the UDIA’s calls as long as the money was used for sustainable infrastructure projects. ‘‘As long as [the money] is used in such a way to make sure people don’t have to drive 40 kilometres to work I think it is a good idea.’’

Preferences give candidate a leg up BY LAURA LITTLE PREFERENCE deals could lead to Harrison ward candidate Intaj Khan being elected to Wyndham Council. The Truganina resident has received the highest number of preferences for the ward, which takes in Point Cook and Truganina. Mr Khan received six second preferences and three third preferences from Mohammed Isah, Stephen Thurling, Leigh Ryan, Elizabeth Hindley, Freshta Saweqa, Gurpreet Singh, Bob Fairclough, Shaheedabanu Shaikh and Dinesh Gourisetty. Mr Khan said most of his preferences had come from other Labor-aligned candidates or candidates with policies similar to his. In Chaffey ward, which covers Hoppers Crossing and Tarneit, Gautam Gupta and Marie Brittan have received the most preferences.

Putting in for pro-am

Fair Rates Committee, directed preferences to Mr Gupta. The committee was started in August after shock rate rises for properties in parts of Tarneit. Ms Brittan received preferences from councillors Shane Bourke and Kim McAliney, as well as George Tomkins and Michelle Wharrie. In Iramoo, Heather Marcus and Peter Maynard got the most second preferences. Mr Maynard received preferences from Ramandeep Singh, Anthony Cahill and Cynthia Manson, while Cr Marcus was preferenced by Peter Gibbons, Kylie Cowie and Nathan Tavendale. Victorian Electoral Commission spokeswoman Sue Lang said preferences played a vital role in fields with many candidates. If no candidate receives a majority of first preference votes, preferences are distributed until an absolute majority is achieved. Ballot papers were posted to houses last week and must be returned by October 26.

Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club is teeing up for the western suburbs’ newest pro-am tournament which organisers are confident will attract some of the biggest names in the game. ‘‘The staging of the event one day after the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath, and kicking off a series of pro-am events around Melbourne, places our event in a prime time of Melbourne’s golfing calendar,’’ said golf director David Diaz (pictured with new general manager Darrin Ramshaw). The Sanctuary Lakes Jeep Pro-Am, on Monday, November 19, is open to individuals and corporate groups. Bookings: pga.org.au.

TAFE cuts push jobs out of reach BY BENJAMIN MILLAR and NICK TOSCANO MASSIVE cuts to TAFE funding in the western suburbs will cause considerable harm to the area’s prospects, according to a new study. The Social Impacts on Melbourne’s West of TAFE Funding Cuts report by regional lobby group LeadWest finds the cuts are ‘‘of considerable significance’’. Victoria University stands to lose $40 million in TAFE funding, one of the biggest cuts statewide. As reported by the Weekly, VU is slashing almost 80 courses and more than 100 teaching jobs and cutting a swathe through support programs. The report questioned the cutting of training for low-skilled residents at a time of rising unemployment in Melbourne’s west. The area has above-average

unemployment and lower levels of students completing year 12, particularly in Wyndham, Brimbank and Melton. The report found unemployment was especially high among people born in non-English-speaking countries (10.6 per cent). ‘‘Foundation training offered through VET [Vocational Education and Training] is a key enabler for this group to gain employment,’’ the report stated. Higher Education and Skills Minister Peter Hall disputed the report, saying the government was making record investment in vocational education and training, including an extra $1 billion over the next four years. The report rejected the government’s claims that it was increasing vocational education, stating the increase was for private colleges, not public TAFE.

FEE hikes triggered by budget cuts at Victoria University has forced Corey Beckers (pictured) to ditch his dream. With VU culling several courses and raising fees in others due to savage TAFE cuts, the Tarneit 20-year-old’s ambitions of pursuing a job in visual arts slipped away. He made other arrangements when VU’s diploma fees skyrocketed from $2500 to more than $7000. Concession fees for students under 25 studying a diploma or advanced diploma course have also been removed. “I started doing a certificate III in children’s services last week, even though I wanted to do something with art. I love to paint and draw and be creative . . . But VU’s prices have risen and I’m not rich, I come from a very middle-class background so we do have to think about money,” Mr Beckers said. While similar visual arts courses were on offer elsewhere, poor public transport links from Wyndham meant he couldn’t access them without a car. Mr Beckers said TAFE cuts proved the state government was “out of touch” with working families who wanted vocational opportunities. — Nick Toscano

MP claims ALPLeadWest link LIBERAL MP Bernie Finn has launched an extraordinary attack on western suburbs lobby group LeadWest, accusing it of being a Labor Party front. In State Parliament on Thursday, Mr Finn called on Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell to investigate the Maribyrnong-based organisation over the “hundreds of thousands of dollars” it was receiving from local councils. Mr Finn’s questioned whether LeadWest was fulfilling its role or simply boosting Labor’s prospects in the west. “There is a view in Melbourne’s west that LeadWest is just an extremely well-funded organisation to provide an independent third-party endorsement for the Labor Party,” he said. “The view can’t be easily dismissed when we consider that the only

group in the west that defended the Gillard carbon tax last year during my campaign against it was indeed LeadWest.” LeadWest manager (business and projects) Craig Rowley described the attack as ‘‘bizarre’’. He said it was unclear what Mr Finn wanted the minister to do and under which powers. ‘‘There are other bodies like G21 in Geelong performing the same kind of role. Is he asking for these bodies to be investigated, too?’’ Mr Rowley said LeadWest had never defended the carbon tax, but it reflected the view of many businesses in the west which saw new opportunities in a clean-energy economy. He added that businesses cited lack of training as the biggest issue in the area, hence LeadWest highlighting the potential damage to the area through the ‘‘bad public policy’’ of TAFE cuts.

A school of many faces

Hayden, 6, Harry, 10, and Addison, 5 (all pictured), are busy collecting raffle prizes for Cambridge Primary School’s annual fete. This year’s event, on October 27, is part of the school’s 20th anniversary celebrations. Teacher Michelle Deans has been at Cambridge since it opened and has seen many changes over the years. ‘‘In 1992 there were just 200 children and now we have over 800 kids. The students were mainly Anglo-Saxon and now we have so many different ethnic backgrounds. We have 67 different nationalities.’’ The school’s grounds have also developed. ‘‘Our football oval used to just be a ground with rocks. We had a roster of grades to collect rocks from the oval so the students could play on it.’’ The fete is from 10am-3pm.

Jobless line grows BY NICK TOSCANO UNEMPLOYMENT in Melbourne’s west is rising faster than anywhere in the city, with ex-manufacturing workers continuing to join the jobless queue. Bureau of Statistics figures released last week show the national unemployment rate reached 5.4 per cent in September, up from 5.1 per cent in August. While the Victorian jobless rate was steady at 5.4 per cent, the outlook was worse for Melbourne’s outer-western suburbs where 6.9 per cent were out of work. Youth unemployment was 14.9 per cent. A new report from the state opposition shows the area’s electorates have recorded the sharpest unemployment increases since December 2010. The report, which compiled unemployment data from December 2010 to June 2012, ranked the electorates of Tarneit, Altona and Derrimut as the three Melbourne areas with the highest jumps in the jobless rate. Within the electorate of Tarneit, spanning Tarneit, Werribee, Werribee South and Hoppers Crossing, unemployment increased

2.6 per cent. For the Altona district – including Altona, Altona Meadows, Laverton and Point Cook – the figures showed an increase of 2 per cent. Michael Wasley, general manager of job agency MatchWorks, said the western suburbs were continually ‘‘over-represented’’ in unemployment figures due to the decline in manufacturing and retail industries. ‘‘In the western suburbs, being a traditionally blue-collar area, these industries are hurting and that’s having an impact,’’ he said. Mr Wasley said MatchWorks’ Werribee branch had faced a rise in the number laid off from car manufacturing plants. Tarneit Labor MP and opposition employment spokesman Tim Pallas said NSW had created 46,000 full-time jobs in September, while Victoria created 1400. ‘‘Other state governments are attracting business investment and investing themselves in major infrastructure projects to create jobs, [but] the Baillieu government seems too weak or lazy to get Victoria moving.’’ Manufacturing, Exports and Trade Minister Richard Dalla-Riva said the state’s manufacturing sector had held up strongly despite the high Australian dollar.

as manufacturers shut the doors Telltale signs, so up spring the barriers

Picture: Cathy Jackson

The 25-year-old woman, who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, said prospective employers probably picked up on some telltale signs. ‘‘Say I’ve got an interview; it’s more visible and noticeable, because when I get nervous I rub my hands together and there could be a shortness of breath.’’ Jay got a job as a waiter at a Hoppers Crossing cafe last month through the help of a jobs agency, which she said eased the stress of looking for work on her own. WISE Werribee manager Peter Gallagher said the research results highlighted widespread negative perceptions of mental illness that did not match the reality. ‘‘Out of our 250 job seekers, about a quarter would be known to have a mental disability, including bipolar, autism spectrum, depression and anxiety, and often a person with a mental illness could be the best person for the job,’’ he said. ‘‘We want employers to broaden their thought process.’’ — Nick Toscano

Difficult mix: Jay says panic and anxiety attacks made finding a job almost impossible.

HAVING a mental illness is a bigger barrier to employment than physical disability, new research has revealed. Research commissioned by not-for-profit jobs provider WISE, as part of last week’s Mental Health Week, found there was a stigma about employing people with a mental illness. They could be unreliable and disruptive, half the respondents believe. The McNair Ingenuity Research survey of 253 small and medium-sized businesses revealed 32 per cent said they would be likely to employ a person with a mental illness, compared with 46 per cent for someone with a physical disability. And 35 per cent said they would be unlikely to employ someone with a mental illness – with ‘‘unpredictable behaviour’’ cited as the top reason why they would not be hired. Werribee resident Jay (not her real name) said that during two years of unemployment, she found stressful job interviews and clinical anxiety didn’t mix.

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM and ANDRIA COZZA WESTERN suburbs parents are relieved the former Mowbray College campuses will continue to be used for education. As reported by the Weekly online, the Caroline Springs town centre campus was last week purchased by Truganina businessman Intaj Khan for $6.3 million, while Mowbray’s Patterson campus in Melton has been sold to Heathdale Christian College. Sources have also revealed that Grace Street Child Care Centre and Kindergarten has purchased the third former Mowbray campus, in Brookside. One source, who asked not to be named, confirmed with the Weekly that the child care centre had finalised the sale. After almost 30 years, Mowbray officially closed its doors at the end of June after it was revealed it was more than $18 million in debt. Former Mowbray parent Jacqueline MacKenzie said parents were happy with the sales. ‘‘It’s very pleasing and I think we are all relieved that developers did not get a hold of the land,’’ she said. Ms MacKenzie, Eliza Agapiou and Emma Nathan worked with the failed school’s bank,

NAB, administrators JP Downey & Co and kindergarten staff to continue operating a preschool at the Brookside campus. ‘‘The lease for Kinder for Kids has been confirmed until the end of the end, but hopefully we can negotiate with Grace Street child care to continue the kinder into the future, that would be fantastic,’’ Ms MacKenzie said. In July, the Weekly revealed Mr Khan — chief executive of Western Institute of Technology — was seeking to purchase the college’s Caroline Springs campus, but his initial offer was knocked back. Mr Khan said he hoped to open a vocational education centre, using the school’s current infrastructure, by the end of next month. ‘‘It was a disgrace that school even had to close in the first place and I feel so sad for the students who didn’t get to stay,’’ he said. ‘‘Hopefully, the new facility will provide more learning opportunities for people in the west.’’ He said his proposal was expected to provide 10-20 jobs. It’s believed the Patterson campus in Melton was sold for $8.5 million, while the Brookside campus, also in Caroline Springs, was sold for $3.3 million. Fitzroys, the real estate agents overseeing the sale, did not return calls before the Weekly went to print.

Under the changes, anyone who throws away a lit cigarette will be fined $563. The penalty for offences involving discarding an extinguished cigarette butt or other items such as wrappers, containers, bottles or papers would rise to $282.

Carers need someone to rely on, too BY LAURA LITTLE MARGO Kendall knows how challenging caring for a loved one can be. The Werribee resident has been a full-time carer to husband Neville since he had two strokes in February. Speaking as part of this week’s Carers Week, Mrs Kendall says it has changed the dynamics of their relationship. ‘‘We were a team,’’ she says. ‘‘Everything we did to the house, we did together. I am very lucky he has got another chance to live, but it feels like I have lost my best friend.’’ Her new role means she has to rely on others to help do everyday tasks like shopping, banking and visiting the post office. Often, it’s Mr Kendall’s close friends who look after him while his wife goes to the supermarket, with Wyndham Council’s aged care services able to provide Mrs Kendall with only two hours of respite each fortnight. She also has to rely on Carers Victoria to provide someone to

shower her husband on weekends, with the council service able to help out only Monday to Friday. And while Mrs Kendall says her husband is very considerate, limited support for carers in Wyndham makes looking after him challenging. ‘‘I am very grateful for the help I get given how stretched the services are here, but there needs to be more help for carers. ‘‘My husband is a very thoughtful man who is concerned for me. He is a joy and not a demanding man but sometimes I need more help. ‘‘We hear about the growth of Werribee but obviously the services and staff are really pushed to the limit. There is only so much they can do.’’ Mrs Kendall, who has worked in palliative care and volunteered with groups such as Meals on Wheels, says while looking after her husband can be difficult, having him home is better than putting him in aged care. ‘‘It would be a step backward for him. In aged care his quality of life could be worse.’’

Challenging role: Margo Kendall is a full-time carer for husband Neville.

W

ith eyes flint sharp he cut straight to the chase, leaving hope in tattered ribbons on

the floor. How many people out of 10 would cheat or b d the th rules l given i th opportunity? t it ? bend the “Nine,” Ken Fagan declared with a certitude that killed any prospect of cross-examination and a passing butterfly stone-dead. With 25 years’ experience as a Victoria Police officer and 15 years running his own private investigations company, Fagan’s view is supported by the evidence. From the stereotypical cheating spouse or cyber love-rat to the corporate fraudster it seems we have good grounds to be suspicious with the digital age providing unparalleled opportunities. Throw in the economic downturn and you have motive, which has led to a huge increase in fraud from the small-scale overtime rorts [ 16 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

of the factory floor, inflated or false insurance claims and welfare rip-offs, to multi-milliondollar corporate heists. And, in turn, to more private investigators to detect them. I the th 1996 census there th l In were 904 people Australia-wide who gave their occupation as private investigator. In 2011-2012 there were 1330 people in Victoria alone specifically licensed as private investigators. Many, like Fagan, are ex-police. The director of the Australian Security Management Group, which trains upwards of 40 PIs a year, estimates about 60 per cent come from a law enforcement background. “There are no Weetie packet detectives leaving our establishment,” Fagan says. Most will run a mile from the cheating hearts cases and specialise in particular aspects of investigation like risk management, insurance fraud, background checks and skip tracing.

family-r “The family-related matters – the suspicious m spouse – still make up the bulk of inquiries, but the conversion rate is very low and we tend to th steer clear of them” Fagan says. majorit of stuff we do is for business.” “The majority W k b d investigation i Work-based and surveillance forms the bulk of Alan Earl’s work through his firm Two One Investigations. It’s very different from what the former mechanical design engineer imagined when he first moved into the investigations field. “I admit I had the romantic idea of spying and surveillance, hiding in the bushes with my army background, at that stage not realising there was this whole other world of circumstantial investigation,” he says. He has done the odd investigation which has called for the camouflage gear, but more often he’s in a high visibility vest talking to people directly after being called in by HR to investigate allegations of bullying, harassment

or discrimination that might form the basis of stress claims. Since 2006-07 there has been a 54 per cent increase in the number of mental stress claims. The average claim for psychological injury is $29,000 and the average time off is 20 weeks, with overwork and stress now estimated to cost Australia $30 billion a year – half the total workplace injury bill. “Stress claims now are today’s equivalent of repetitive strain injuries of the 1980s,” Earl says. “We are in a climate now when so many people are questioning whether they are going to have a job next week and we are all working 24 hours a day seven days a week with technology. People are stressed. “But stress claims are highly investigated now because they are not tangential. It is not like you chopped your arm off. We need to find out what the facts are.

INSIDESTORY

Australian Security Management Group instructor Gerry Francis. Picture: Marco De Luca

Tim Carrodus says fraud can be very difficult to prove. Picture: Michael Copp

1.2 million Australians were the victim of personal fraud in 2010-11 “Since Brodie’s Law (an amendment to the Crimes Act introduced after waitress Brodie Panlock killed herself because of workplace bullying) this sort of investigation has become more and more important. “Companies can’t afford not to take it seriously,” he adds. In tough times more people are tempted to try soft options for increasing their income, translating to what Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) Global Economic Crime Survey identified as “an epidemic of fraud permeating Australian organisations.” Nobody knows this better than Tim Carrodus, a former Victoria Police detective inspector who has worked as a senior investigator for the United Nations and World Bank Group. “I think fraud will only increase,” the principal of Bottomline Investigation and Advisory Services (BIAAS) says. “All the research

indicates a majority of fraud goes unreported. It’s typical with the nature of fraud. Fraud is a hidwen crime and it’s often discovered too late to recover from it. Early intervention is the most important thing.” Without professional help it can be hard for the victim to even make a case to police or lawyers. As Carrodus puts it: “If you walk home at night and someone comes behind you and punches you in the head and steals your handbag it is pretty obvious a crime has happened. You have got a bruised face, you may have other injuries, your handbag’s missing and there might be witnesses to it. “So it is very, very easy for the police to establish that you are the victim of a crime. “With fraud we have to do the same thing, but it is more arduous to prove that, because

most fraud is hidden – that is the whole nature of it. “You have no bruises. What you have is a business in turmoil and no money in the bank, but we have to establish what has happened. “I have two cases now where there has been a lot of trust involved between the business partners over many many years and in each case one of them has ripped off the other. “The people who come and see me are bewildered by it. They are severely traumatised by the experience because they had so much trust in this other person. “I have seen a lot of that happen over the years. “It’s tragic. Good companies and good businesses that had a lot of potential have failed because of it.”

Victims of identity & credit card scams lost an average of $2000 each. 80% of frauds over $100,000 were inside jobs by managers or employees. 80% of cases in which gambling was cited as a motive occurred in Victoria & Queensland. 10-15% of insurance claims are fraudulent

BY LAURA LITTLE LES Porter is always striving to help other people. As a Salvation Army volunteer, Mr Porter does what he can to help Wyndham’s homeless and struggling residents by taking part in fund-raisers or helping prepare meals. On Saturday, Mr Porter will begin his biggest fund-raising event of the year, the Wyndham 1000. As part of the annual ride, he will ride 1000 kilometres around Wyndham during three weeks to raise money for Wyndham City Salvation Army. The money will be used to create care packs for homeless people. The packs will include soap, towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste. ‘‘So many homeless people come into the Salvation Army and they don’t even have the basics,’’ Mr Porter said. ‘‘We want to get kits made up so that they have soap and toothpaste and other things we take for granted.’’ Completing the ride will be no easy feat for Mr Porter, who was hit by a car 25 years ago. The accident left him with balance

Relax in right location Families looking for convenience will be drawn to this house, writes Mark Bunker his modern house overflowing with lifestyle perks has the edge due mainly to its proximity to Point Cook Town Centre. It’s a sought-after area because of the convenience it affords. Spacious north-facing living areas allow abundant sunlight, and the property’s side gates will please anyone seeking off-street parking for boats and caravans. Established hedges and steel fences bordering this property allow optimum privacy without obscuring natural light. Double doors off a tiled entry hallway open to the main bedroom with ceiling fan, twin walk-in wardrobes and an

T

ensuite with large shower. Sharing a bathroom with spa are two other bedrooms that have wardrobes, holland blinds and ceiling fans. A study opposite the main bedroom could double as a fourth bedroom, but unlike the others, has no wardrobes. Along the entry hallway with garage access there’s an open lounge room with high ceilings — as throughout. Sunlight beams through extensive windows bordering the family-meals area, which has gleaming floorboards and roman blinds. The kitchen has an island bench with storage and breakfast bar, a Dishlex dishwasher and a

Chef oven with six gas burners. The living hub integrates impressively via french doors with a north-facing pergola where PVC blinds provide full enclosure and year-round entertainment capabilities. Steps on either side of the merbau-decked pergola lead to two side yards. One yard has artificial grass, a garden patch and cubby house; the other links to the backyard and includes ample space for off-street parking through double-gated side access. The house is in walking distance of childcare facilities, Emmanuel and Carranballic colleges and sporting grounds.

Watch this office space ntrepreneurs looking for a new office space in the west may want to consider funky, New York-style spaces being offered in Footscray. The complex, at 105 Whitehall Street, will undergo an $8 million redevelopment to include 14 commercial workspaces that are only 4.7 kilometres from the CBD and have direct access to Docklands. Office spaces will range from 129 to 257 square metres in size and include a kitchenette and bathroom amenities, while some will have balconies with city views. Onsite basement parking is also included. ‘‘The inner-western suburbs have undergone dramatic changes with significant demand for residential properties in recent years, creating a new professional, lifestyle demographic,’’ says Blount Osborne Walsh marketing agent Astrid Ahammer. ‘‘Another feature is the Maribyrnong River precinct which is within walking distance, while Seddon and Footscray stations are about 800 metres away. ‘‘The completed project is expected to be ready for occupancy in the last quarter of 2013, so the opportunity should also suit

The Weekly welcomes letters no longer than 200 words. All letters are subject to editing and must include a name, address and phone number. Post: The Editor, 75 Watton Street, Werribee, 3030 or email westvoice@yourweekly.com.au Post a web comment to any story at wyndhamweekly.com.au Candidates deserve some respect I have been surprised and shocked by the vitriol in some written statements made by a few new council election candidates and their lack of acknowledgement of results of our present councillors. I have never been a Wyndham councillor but I have been interested and involved in many local issues. I am sure the next four years will be much harder as we continue to watch the loss of local jobs and the need to work within the confines of policies and procedures. Don’t forget those nominating for the positions on council are human beings and deserve to be treated with respect and admiration for wishing to work for their own community. Judith Sutcliffe (via web)

Re: TAFE cuts: Hammer blow for struggling west (Weekly, October 10): Not only those disadvantaged will suffer, but this is also clear gender discrimination. Most of the cuts will be in areas where there are traditionally a majority of female students

who don’t want to do a trade apprenticeship. This is surely bad public policy that will cause economic havoc and social disharmony for many years to come. Phillip Bell (via web)

Mobility help for sight-impaired The ability to get around safely and with confidence is something most people take for granted. But for people who are blind or have low vision, this everyday activity becomes more challenging. International White Cane Day (October 15) is a wonderful opportunity to recognise the great impact this simple tool has had in enabling independence for Australians who are blind. This year, Vision Australia’s Seeing Eye Dog orientation and mobility division has supported almost 5000 clients to achieve their mobility goals. Individuals can make a difference by considering how parking their car on a footpath or leaving hard rubbish out for a council clean-up might impact someone who is blind or vision impaired.

Games good as gold Competing again has given this transplant patient confidence, writes Laura Little ndrew Cox views each of the 12 medals he won at this month’s National Transplant Games as a reminder of the importance of organ donation. The Hoppers Crossing resident took part in the games in Newcastle for the fourth time since receiving a heart transplant when he was 30. Cox needed the transplant after being diagnosed at 15 with cardiomyopathy, a deterioration of the heart muscle which puts sufferers at risk of sudden death. Doctors made the diagnosis after he went into cardiac arrest during a year 10 physical education class. He was clinically dead for several minutes before paramedics revived him and took him to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition. Cox also sustained a hypoxic brain injury as a result of his brain being

starved of oxygen when he collapsed, forcing him to have to learn again to walk and talk. Four years later, Cox went into cardiac arrest again during a game of netball. Doctors fitted a pacemaker but it failed to control his condition and he needed a heart transplant at 30. During his recovery, Cox was advised to take part in the transplant games. A keen sportsman, he had been a state-level cricketer, tennis player and talented ballroom dancer as a teenager, so Cox jumped at the chance. ‘‘I found that the games were a good way to meet other people who were in the same boat and could tell me about the journey ahead of me.’’ This year, Cox competed in team and individual events in cycling, track and field, swimming, volleyball and ten-pin bowling.

He won gold medals in his individual ten-pin bowling event and the five-kilometre walk. ‘‘The games have helped with my self-confidence and knowing that I can do physical activity,’’ Cox said. ‘‘I did a lot better this year than the last time I competed and it was good knowing I could cope with the pressure.’’ Cox said the aim of the games was to encourage people to think about organ and tissue donation before it was too late. He said too many people waited until something happened to their loved ones before they thought about being an organ or tissue donor. ‘‘I urge everyone not to wait, to get on the donor register.’’ To become an organ donor, go to donatelife.gov.au.

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, the Good Foundation and the state government have brought the battle against the bulge to Wyndham. Jamie’s Ministry of Food was last week launched as part of the state’s new attack on obesity — the Victorian Healthy Eating Enterprise. Wyndham is one of 14 ‘‘at-risk’’ municipalities where the initiative will kick-start healthy eating and exercise programs. Wyndham has among the highest rates of obesity in the west, with 23.9 per cent of men and 18.9 per cent of women considered obese. The Good Guys Hoppers Crossing’s Fab DeCesaris (pictured with Teagan Bellingham and her children Sereia and Harlen) said the program would encourage home-cooked meals which are critical to keeping families healthy.

With a huge range of listings the Domain Android app lets you search for properties to buy, rent or share across Australia. With more features than any other Australian real estate Android app, you can plan your open for inspections, shortlist your favourite properties, sync to your Domain account and view sold properties.
