T

he Sta te M ember for Marrickv ille C armel Tebbutt has v ehemently denied r umours of her resignin g f rom the L abor Party and relinquishing her seat.

Responding to reports in The Sunday Telegraph last week, Ms Tebbutt has dismissed spec ulation that she is retiring from state politics.

The article suggested state Labor members were ‘jockeying’ to replace Ms T ebbutt should she retire before the next election.

However the lon g ser ving L abor stalwart told the Inner Cit y W eekender that she had no idea where or how the rumour circulated.

“I don ’t kno w where tha t c ame f rom. I’ m not retiring. There will be no announcement of my retirement this week, nor will there be one in weeks to come,” Ms Tebbutt said.

The spec ulation ma y ha ve come f rom talk of the boundar y chan ges tha t w ill tak e effec t ne xt year that will require voters to elect a member for Summer Hill and Newtown.

The seat of Marrickv ille will disappear as a part of the changes.

Carmel Tebbutt has denied speculation she is retiring.

Mayor J o Ha ylen was also men tioned in the same Telegraph article as a poten tial f ront r unner for the sea t of Summer Hill ho wever she dismissed the speculation.

“I’m not sure where these rumours are coming from. C armel Tebbutt has not resigned, there is no vac ancy, i t’s tha t simple,” Cr Ha ylen tol d the Weekender this week.

You know that Jim Carey movie, ‘Liar Liar’?

As much as I’ m not Jim ’s bigg est fan, I often think about that flick and wonder what the world would be like if we all just said i t as it is and told the truth.

Would the divorce rate be huge?

Would the unemployment rate be so high tha t Centrelink wouldn’t have the time to think about a new logo let alone spend millions of dollars creating an example of a Kindergarten artwork?

Would Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting actually be friends?

I wonder, really, how much life w ould actually change if we all just told the truth, all of the time.

My mother loves to tell the story of when I was a kid and I rev ealed that I’d been stealin g loose change f rom the tin in the ki tchen. Embarrassing, but gee it felt good to get it off my chest.

By the wa y, the more people I tell tha t stor y to the more I become the prime suspect here at Weekender headquarters when it comes to the charity chocolate box that always seems to come up short every month.

Consumer group Choice c ame up w ith some beauties when i t comes to stretchin g the tr uth this week.

The one tha t c aught m y ey e was Kleene x’s Mansize Tissues. A ccording to Choice, in a total contradiction of the produc t’s name and purpose, Kleenex Mansize Tissues have shrunk.

TROY DODDS @troydodds

I'd been stealing loose change from the tin

First, the bo x is substan tially smaller – about half the size of the old box. But so we don’t get all sniffy about it, Kleenex tries to reassure us tha t they’re still “big, strong two-ply tissues you love, just in a smaller box”.

Yet according to Choice, the w ording is clev er: we’re not getting the same big, strong tissues we love – just big stron g tissues in g eneral. The tissues themselves have shrunk in size by almost 14 per cent. It’s an outrage!

And what about Credit Repair Australia?

They char ge a non- refundable upf ront fee of $990 to consumers who need their c redit file repaired. You know, when tha t mobile phone bill you didn’t pay as a teenager comes back to haunt you when you’re trying to buy a new car?

Problem is, in most c ases, default listin gs and other information about your credit history can’t be removed from a report unless i t is pro ven to be wrong.

Choice sa ys: “ This compan y boasts of ha ving dealt with over 150,000 consumers in the last 10 years – and w e reckon that most of them w ould have been bet ter off not pa ying for this shonky service.”

We all tell white lies. Some of us tell bigger ones.

Sometimes, what’s right stops us. S ometimes, knowing we can get away with it does not.

Challenge y ourself – this w eekend, tell the truth in every single sector of your life. Simple?

Agent John Fraser says Marrickville TAB will be packed.

Local Government Minister Don Page has asked councils not to impose fines on people who have not registered their pools for a three-week grace period until November 19.

“The Division of Local Government, which administers the pools registry, has informed me that there have been technical problems with the register because of the large number of people attempting to register their pools at the last minute,’’ Mr Page said.

In a 24 hour period earlier this week, over 2,500 people an hour were registering their pools.

By midday Tuesday, over 200,000 people had successfully registered their pools.

Ambulance data for 2011-12 showed 497 of the most frequent callers were responsible for 10,124 calls, costing NSW $8.4 million (not including hospital emergency department costs).

The 18 most frequent callers were responsible for 1,541 calls.

The multi-agency approach involved Ambulance NSW conducting one-onone assessments with patients to identify unmet needs, then liaising with health care providers and Local Health Districts, if appropriate, to develop solutions.

Warning issued over identify theft and letter box theft

Man arrested after extensive investigations into robberies

Police from the Marrickville Local Area Command have issued a warning to local residents following a recent spate of thefts from letter boxes. As officers step up efforts to catch those responsible, locals are urged to make their letter boxes more secure and properly dispose of any financial information.

If you throw details of your identity in the bin, you could be ‘recycled,’ meaning, someone can turn those details from rubbish to valuable information to create accounts or loan applications in your name.

Don’t throw anything away that can be used by criminals – rates notices, bills, letters, credit card statements can all be used to create a fake identity.

Shred all unneeded documents, don’t just throw them away and search your car and remove personal documents.

The event was one of man y held across Australia to raise money for further research on breast cancer.

Ms Tebbutt provided statistics that sent a message about the prevalence of breast cancer amongst women.

“October is Breast C ancer A wareness month. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed c ancer amon g w omen in Australia and one in eigh t women will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. Nine out of 10 w omen who develop

Projections are tha t b y 2020 , 17 ,210 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Australia. This is an average of 47 women every day.

However the death rate amongst women has reduced since the founda tion was established. In 199 4, when NBCF was founded, 30 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer lost their battle. In less than 20 years that percentage has halved.

Ms T ebbutt thank ed the Inner W est community for their g enerosity and said

the community had done a terrific job in raising f unds f or r esearch and improving awareness.

“They are true primary industries of this coun try, c reating w ealth and community through our imagina tion, sweat and appreciation,” Mr Gledhill said.

“They are activities that inspire, enrich and change Australian lives. We need to reprioritise Australian creativity as a fundamental asset of this country.”

Mr Collins believ es c rowd- funding is crucial to get those numbers up quickly.

“We need a minimum of 500 members to be able to register federally for the next general election. We have to find those people in the next 50 days.”

He said the future of Australia depends on the quality of its ideas more than the size of its mines.

“For too lon g, I ha ve felt a real lack of recognition and respect for the value Australian c reativity brings to our grea t country,” he said.

“Motoring enthusiasts and miners now holding the balance of power in our senate – enough is enough.”

“I worked under Neil Perry who is a wonderful chef who helped me w ith the nuances of Asian food,” he said.

Mr Richardson said one of the sec rets to his success is listening to his clients.

“I like to assess wha t my clientele want.

We run a menu tha t we think our clien ts like,” he said.

Vic on the Park Manag er Dan R ule said Mr Richar dson’s finalist nomina tion was testimony to the professional that he is.

“It’s fantastic, he’s one of the best chefs I’ve worked with,” he said.

In addition to being nominated for Chef of the Year, Vic on the Park is also a finalist for Best Family Friendly Hotel and Best Outdoor/ Non-Enclosed Facility.

Australian H otel Assoc iation NS W CEO Paul Nicolau said this y ear had produced a record number of finalists across the entire range of c ategories, which illustra ted how strong the industry was.

“NSW Hotels are second to none – we see that on display every day and the Awards for Excellence punctuate that every year,” he said.

The winners will be announced at a gala function at The Star on Monday, November 25.

This is the ideal time to sort out rela tionship difficulties as certain misunderstandings can now be resolved, as the New M oon moves into your partnership house.

You are in a wonderful position to make some new friends at the moment. Your fear of rejection can make you a little bit cautious but at the moment you need to be very open minded. Other people see you as rather serious and sometimes a little bit scary, so make sure you smile and look people in the eye.

are an amazing source of inspiration when it comes to fashion

In a serious lack of fashion inspira tion this w eek, I began trawling through all a venues to find somethin g tha t I coul d slip into and smile.

I dug up ol d fashion magazines, f licked through books la ying around and people- watched until I coul dn’t stand to see another midriff or ill-fitting pair of shorts.

Fed up and feelin g just as uninspired as when I began, I hopped on to the net ( the one thin g which I had hoped to avoid) and typed “fashion” into the search bar.

A whole new world revealed itself to me at that moment; the world of fashion blogging.

I have never been a stranger to the Internet, in fact I am constantly using it for work, to catch up with friends and to keep up w ith the happenin gs of the w orld but I ha ve nev er v entured into the world of blogs.

I know too many people (my mum and my sister are the first that come to mind) who are addicted to blogs of all kinds so I have purposely kept my distance... Until now.

In a fi t of despair, I click ed a link, follo wed by another link, and another, until before I knew it three hours had passed and I was feeling like I could conquer the world.

I ma y ha ve look ed through hundreds of blogs, I honestly couldn’t tell you but what I can say is that there is something special about looking at pictures and reading the thoughts of a seemingly ordinary person, like yourself, and feeling inspired.

Of the many that I searched through, my favourites were the ones with lots of pictures, a little bit of humour, links to where you could find similar or the same i tems featured in the post and the odd deviation from generic fashion ‘news’.

Blogs are a great way to pass your time too as you can read them on your smart phone and are a great alternative to your usual fashion magazine apps.

I won’t tell you my favourite blogs and I w on’t point you in a partic ular direction only bec ause I think the beauty of the blog-world is discovering it for yourself.

There is a whole world of amateur and professional fashion bloggers out there to explore. Happy trawling!

HEALTHY LIFE

has raised questions about the independence of doctors

FITNESS

Are you your own doctor?

The three forms of martial arts

There has been quite a buzz about the Catalyst sho w on the ABC last w eek.

The sho w put for ward the ar gument that if y ou ha ve been takin g medic ation to lower cholesterol then you may be doin g a whole lot more harm than good. I t’s c alled ‘heart of the ma tter’ and can still be watched on iview.

If the stor y is correc t i t is basic ally ELISHA saying tha t man y medic al professionSTEIN als have been presc ribing Statin mediRegistered nurse cation under the incorrect assumption and midwife that cholesterol is bad for you.

But ev en more disturbin gly i t also suggests that this incorrect assumption is actually being perpetuated, even promoted b y companies that are making billions of dollars from the mistake!

Understandably i t has people talkin g and upset – to think that there are dec isions bein g made in a boar droom somewhere that has profit being chosen over people’s lives is very unsettling on many levels. Companies with that sort of money actually influence medical fact. Universities teach from studies that are conducted by these same companies. Man y institutions also receive massive funding and support from them.

So the show raises questions on ho w naive are we being, in assuming that what our doctors are learning and considering as best practice is completely independent from pharmaceutical company influence.

As I ha ve said before, y our health alwa ys comes do wn to you. You are responsible for it. Even the smartest health pro fessional in the w orld is still just human. L earn to tr ust your body and what it is trying to tell you. Use professional opinion for advice and guidance but g et intensely involved with your health yourself. Learn all you can and then apply what works for you. Socrates said i t thousands of y ears ago and i t is still spot on: “If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool”.

This w eek loc al busine ss o wner J eff P hillips has wr itten in a column for us for a new point of view.

Tactical Krav Maga is one off the most effective Modern Martial Arts/Defensive Tactics ics systems in the world today, y, being particularly strong in Asia-Pacific and Europe. In those regions it is part of the Martial Arts/Defensive Tactics syllabus for many civilian, police, and militaryy units. Tactical Krav Maga is a system which can be learntt in a reasonably short period of time and is low maintenance. ce.

TKM combines unarmed and armed defensive tactical al solutions for any hostile environment.

DAVID STEIN Owner & Manager of Fitec david@ fitec.com.au

martial arts are a great way to target different goals of fitness and self defence

15

I’m an avid reader of this column and I couldn’t agree more with David’s adv ice! Physical activity needs to be enjo yable.

The fitness industry sometimes has a tendenc y to o ver complicate things! Is it really necessary to balance one legged on a bosu ball swinging a kettlebell, whilst wearing a power breathing mask to complete y our workout of the day whilst posting it all on facebook?

No! How about finding an open area with some mates and go kick a ball? If you look at the stress relief and social side affects you could well say that would be even better for you.

Dave recently mentioned martial arts as an option and again I couldn’t agree more. I ha ve spent the past 30+ y ears doing just that.

Like anything in life, people need to be educated to make informed choices about what they are doing. Martial arts can be split into three broad categories, self defence, sport and art. All three are very different.

Real self defence is all about managin g v iolent conf rontations. No r ules, straigh t to the poin t, replic ating real w orld violence, ev en incorpora ting psy chology. These martial arts include Krav Maga, Combatives and Senshido.

Art is all the traditional, cultural and spiritual ancient movements such as Ka tas, con trolling force, breakin g boar ds etc.

Think Kung Fu, Karate and Tai Chi. Sport is a ph ysical contest with distinct rules. Examples include MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing and Judo.

You need to decide what your objec tive is and choose accordingly. For e xample aikido teaches y ou an art and traditions but little in terms of pure self defence and sport, despite what you see in the Steven Seagal movies!

All of them will develop your fitness in some capacity, some more than others. Some have a few skills that may apply to all categories but be specific to what you most want to improve.

The Australian singer recently released her latest album ‘Kensal Road’, the first in

10 years from Ceberano that features original music.

She w ill be accompan ying the recor d release w ith a na tionwide tour , ‘K ensal Road Live’, playing at the York Theatre at the Seymour Centre in S ydney on F riday, November 2.

So far reactions from fans to the new material has been o verwhelmingly posi tive, and Ceberano has enjo yed g etting back into live performance.

“It’s been a wesome, I’ ve had a v ery strong response to everything – tour ’s looking grea t, I’ ve been ha ving qui te a love affair again w ith getting back in w ith the band, I’m going to play drums with the band... I alwa ys feel v ery con tent when I’m at an instrument,” she said.

Most A ustralians migh t remember Ceberano as bein g a soulful pop star , but the singer charts different territory on her album, w ith son gs inspired b y Ha waiian folk music.

“My f ather’s f rom H awaii, i n f act w hen he c ame here in the 60 ’s I think the tw o things he tra velled w ith, which is such a

trademark for me about the kind of people we are, he brough t over a ukelele and a surfboard,” she said.

“I was raised on a diet of music tha t was r eally c reated i n a nd a round a family si tuation where there ’s food and con vivialities and f riends and I

think because of that my brother and I have always made music that delivers that same feeling to people.”

Ceberano’s lon g hia tus f rom son gwriting was partially due to her feeling that the ac tivity’s “ very personal, very isolated” nature needed to take a

backseat to her role as a mother.

As h er da ughter G ypsy b egan t o g row older though, Ceberano was approached

by Sony and agreed to return to the studio in a frenzy of activity that would produce ‘Kensal Road’.

“Sony c ame along and they said to me, ‘it’s about time w e get you out there w ith another originals [album] so y ou want to start working on it?’” Ceberano said.

“Then I think one thin g led to another, I started writing with some wri ters around Melbourne, w e must ha ve wri tten about 80 songs or so, just to get back into the action, the wri ting again. Then I w ent over to London and did i t all pretty much in a month or so.”

Getting back in to the rh ythm of wri ting and producing songs was never a difficult task to Ceberano , although she admi ts that the content of her lyric s has changed dramatically thanks to her family.

“I don’t find songwriting hard, I actually think it’s like breathing, or sw imming, or riding a bike. There’s always things to talk about,” Ceberano said.

“Before Gypsy was born, in the early part of my career, I think a lot of the wri ting is very subjective, it’s all about me, I, myself.

But I think when y ou become a paren t, suddenly it becomes about us, we, them.”

Kate Cebe rano will be pe rforming at the York Theatre at the Seymour Centre in S ydney on No vember 2. F or mor e information visit he r website www.kateceberano.com.

Revolution Channel 9 Tuesday, November 5

Seven's prepared for next year The Amazing Race Australia will return in 2014 after its return was announced at Channel Seven’s Upfronts last week. The Emmy Award-winning reality series wasn’t seen on screens this year as Seven opted to give ‘The Mole’ a try, and well, we all know how that turned out. Casting information is available on the Channel Seven website.

The Panel is back... sort of. Channel Ten will premiere ‘Have You Been Paying Attention’ this Sunday, November 3 at 7pm.

The format is a sees panellists competing to remember the most news events from across the week. ‘The Panel’s’ Tom Gleisner is set to host and there are many other similarities. Why don’t they just bring ‘The Panel’ back?

More local shows confirmed to return to Channel Seven next year include: ‘My Kitchen Rules’, ‘House Rules’, ‘The X Factor’, ‘Dancing with the Stars’, ‘A Place to Call Home’, ‘Winners and Losers’, ‘Home and Away’, ‘Million Dollar Minute’ and ‘Deal or No Deal’.

Channel Nine’s huge new post-apocalyptic drama ‘Revolution’ has finally been given an airdate.

The J.J Abrams produced show will hit our screens this Tuesday, November 5 at 8.30pm. The first season has already aired on Foxtel so we will see how it goes here.

Channel Seven is set to air ‘Dancing with the Stars’ twice a week. The monster hit is cutting it very fine with the number of contestants and the number of weeks left before ratings season is up at the end of November. ‘Dancing’ will now been seen on both Sunday and Tuesday nights.

Another popular TV show remake could be on the cards with news the supernatural series ‘Charmed’ could be revived.

It’s still in the very early stages of development but CBS has ordered a script for the pilot. The new ‘Charmed’ is considered a “re-imagining” of the once mega hit series.

ixed martial arts is comin g to Marrickville this month with a seminar featuring one of the world’s biggest names, T odd Duffee – a current contender for the UFC heavyweight title.

The man responsible for bri nging him here is 2010 A ustralian Ama teur mix ed martial arts champion Jim Perdios who said he was e xcited that Duffee was making his way to Australia.

“When I was o ver in the Sta tes in A ugust I established a number of f riendships f rom the mixed martial arts w orld, and one of them was Todd,” Perdios said.

“I said to him if y ou ev er come to A ustralia, make sure you look me up, and to my surprise and delight, he did.

“He is a terrific guy and a fan tastic figh ter.

I w ent to the Americ an kickbo xing ac ademy in San Jose California and saw first- hand how good these guys are.

“Todd has the record for the fastest knock-out at just seven seconds.”

The Americ an kickbo xing ac ademy is the home of UF C heavyweight champion C ain Velasquez and man y other w orld class a thletes and so Perdios was inspired to lifthis own game to another level when it came to fitness.

Since retiring from professional mixed martial arts, P erdios has been foc ussing on teachin g people how to lose weight, in a fun way but still had a passion for the sport.

He said UF C is the fastest gro wing sport in the world with crowd numbers that are gaining momentum here in Australia.

“The last time the UF C had an ev ent in S ydney it was March 2010. There were 20,000 tickets sold in less than 1 hour.”

The sport is hug ely successful in other parts of the w orld. In Brazil i t is not unhear d of to get c rowds of 25, 000 and in J apan c rowds of 60,000 turned up to one event.

“It’s not every day you will have someone of Todd’s c alibre in Marrickv ille. This is a fan tastic opportunity for those who love this sport to come alon g and g et in volved w ith wha t is on offer.”

Todd w ill be a t Marrickv ille T ennis Club on Thursday No vember 14 for one da y only r unning a trainin g seminar . Spec tators are also welcome. Tickets: www.vitalizefitness.com.au.
