“It’s rent gouging” Greens and Labor take stand against rent increase BASIL NAIMET

P

ensioners, war widows, and people living on low incomes in public housing across New South Wales have had their rents increased by the State Government to factor in the carbon tax rebate as an income source. In March last year pensioners across the country received a fortnightly increase of just under $36 for singles and $54 for couples as part of the rebate. Member for Marrickville, Carmel Tebbutt, says the increased payment to pensioners in March was a welcomed relief, but now the State Government is taking advantage of this payment at a difficult time for residents. “With winter around the corner, pensioners in Marrickville could have really done with a little extra money to help pay the electricity bill,” she said. It is understood that letters have been sent from the Minister for Family and Community Services informing pensioners and people on low incomes of the increase. Pru Goward, the Minister for Family and Community Services, says social housing tenants continue to have their rent subsidised by the State Government. “Social housing tenants pay 25 to 30 per cent of their income in rent, with the remainder [of rent] subsidised by the NSW Government,”she said. However the Greens candidate for Grayndler, Hall Greenland, says the O’Farrell Government won’t make much money from the rent rise. “The carbon tax rebate the Federal Government is giving pensioners is compensation for government induced increases in power bills. It’s hard enough for pensioners with housing costs going up, but this [rent increase] is ridiculous and unacceptable – It’s gouging,” he said. The money the O’Farrell Government will gain from the rental increase is a nominal amount, somewhere in the vicinity of 10 per cent or approximately $2.50 per person.

STATION STOUCH Upgrades to Sydenham train station funded by the State Government are now complete, but Marrickville Council is not completely happy with the result. Council claims that access to the station from the adjacent bus stop is difficult for people with a disability and want the issue to be fi xed.

World class education, until you want to go to university

T

he Labor Party’s policy on school funding makes sense, but once again its politics don’t. The day before the Gillard Government’s most important election year announcement, it was revealed (on a Saturday) that it would be ripping over $2 billion out of university funding to pay for primary and high school funding. Huh? So the message is – you’ll get a world class education until you’re 18-years-old only to get into a substandard university. The messaging also doesn’t fit with the tertiary education goals of the Asian Century White Paper. Less than 150 days from the election, Julia Gillard has a fight on her hands not only with the Opposition and the States, but now also with University Chancellors. We’ve come to expect these garbled messages from this Labor Government but let’s try to ignore that for the purpose of looking at this policy. Education is a vote winner – it speaks

to parents who want the best for their children and, all of us really, who want to see a higher calibre, more intelligent society. What Julia Gillard is proposing is a funding model that looks at student needs. It allocates a base amount per student – around $9,000 for primary and about $12,000 for secondary. On top of that each student is eligible to have thousands more dollars committed to their education. These so called ‘loadings’ are added for Indigenous background, disadvantage, remote schools, large schools, those lacking in English skills and those with a disability. $14.5 billion over six years is the price tag. The Federal Government will cover $9.4 billion in its two-for-one offer. That’s then divvied up between the states. NSW are the big winners with $3.4 billion in Federal funding on the cards. But it also means that NSW have long been underfunded and it has the biggest

room for improvement. Compare that to WA who’ll only get $200 million of Federal assistance. Colin Barnett has used many adjectives to describe what he thinks of the deal this week – but effectively he sees his state being punished because WA schools have been best funded out of the states. The Opposition is pushing the line that Julia Gillard’s education plan is a failure if all the states aren’t on board. For those states that sign up, students will be better off. Colin Barnett shouldn’t be able to dictate the outcomes of students in NSW – Julia Gillard has ensured that by confi rming that she’ll sign up individual states regardless. The good news is NSW is likely to sign up.

Association sends message to O’Farrell Government

Lawn mowing & Garden Maintenance

BASIL NAIMET

he NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association is continuing the fight for increased funding and benefits for nurses and midwives as part of the Nurse to Patient Ratio initiative. General Secretary of the Association, Brett Holmes, told a gathering at the Royal Prince Alfred hospital on Thursday April 11, that Premier Barry O’Farrell needed to build on the work the Labor government had done with the Association in increasing the ratio of nurses to patients. Several issues were raised by Mr Holmes, including that nurses and midwives need to have a mechanism within their State Award allowing them to understand how staffi ng levels are established. “Nurses and midwives need to know what the staffi ng levels should be‌ and when [those numbers] are not delivered, they [should be able to] call upon management through the State Award and within the contract of employment [to] deliver the number of nurses and midwives required as a minimum through that award,â€? he said. Other areas of public hospitals across NSW that need increased staffi ng levels were emergency departments. “We need one nurse for every three regularly used patient areas in the emergency department.

We’ll do it faster and cheaper Exclusive: Turnbull outlines Coalition plan as broadband debate rages on CASSANDRA O CONNOR

he National Broadband Network (NBN) is already under construction, but the Coalition has promised local residents it will complete it faster and at a cost more affordable to tax payers if elected in September. Speaking exclusively with the Weekender on Tuesday afternoon, Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that the Coalition’s plan to install fibre cables to a node and then rely on the existing copper network to connect each house to the node, is a more responsible use of tax payers’ dollars. The current Federal Government NBN roll out is connecting each individual premise to fibre cabling. “Our policy will get everybody onto very fast broadband sooner at less cost to the tax payer and more affordably for the consumer than Labor’s can,” Mr Turnbull said. “If money was no object and time was no object, you would have fibre everywhere. If you are trying to use public money cost effectively and responsibly and you want Internet access to be affordable; now remember the biggest barrier to access to the Internet is lack of income... what we are trying to do is get the balance right; delivering the services that people want and value, spending tax payers’ money responsibly and making sure it is still affordable.” Mr Turnbull said that where

T

construction is already underway, there will be no disruption if a change of Government occurs. “Construction that is contracted will continue, we want to accelerate completion of the network, not hold it up, we certainly don’t want to throw it into a great big hiatus,” he said. Residents wanting to have their house connected to fibre cabling will still be able to do so under the Coalition’s model. “They would pay the NBN Co an amount of money and we haven’t stipulated what that would be but it would be several thousands of dollars to pull a fibre strand from the node to their house,” Mr Turnbull said. “I think there would be very little demand for this, very, very little demand. And it is really just catering for the occasional case where someone might have a business that they are running from home that requires it.” Under the Coalition’s plan, new suburbs that have no infrastructure will still receive fibre connections to each house; as will shopping centres, commercial districts and public facilities like hospitals. Mr Turnbull said the NBN Co would be responsible for making “a commercial decision” about which areas would be economically viable to support individual fibre connections to premises. “At any given time at least 30 per cent of homes would be vacant or wireless only and of the remaining 70 per cent, only a handful of them are going to want to have even the highest speeds available on fibre to the node,” he said.

“On the other hand if you have an industrial park or business centre you know you can put fibre into there and get a lot of customers, because businesses will want to access a lot of bandwidth and you can do it very cost effectively.” Senator Stephen Conroy, Communications Minister said: “The

Coalition’s policy is simply inadequate for Australia’s needs now and into the future. It is like building the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with only one lane”. “It cannot deliver the high speed services that Australians require to take full advantage of broadband-enabled healthcare and business opportunities.”

Crime Figures: Police welcome latest results

Council supports push for night time precinct

The NSW Police Commissioner has welcomed new figures showing some categories of serious crime at their lowest recorded levels in more than 20 years. Th is week the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) released an update of longterm trends in property and violent crime. It has also released its latest 24-month Recorded Crime report. According to the independent organisation, per capita rates of some crime in 2012 were significantly lower than in 1990: • murder (51 per cent lower), • motor vehicle theft (73 per cent lower), • break and enter non-dwelling (65 per cent lower), • break and enter dwelling (45 per cent lower), • robbery with a weapon not a fi rearm (29 per cent lower), • robbery with a fi rearm (71 per cent lower), and • robbery without a weapon (26 per cent lower).

Boston bombings: NSW Police monitor closely

Late night live venues on Parramatta Road are one step closer to reality.

BASIL NAIMET

he vision of having Artists, musicians and bands playing live in venues along Parramatta Road is one step closer thanks to a motion passed unanimously this week at Marrickville Council. Councillor Jo Hayden pushed to have the Parramatta Road precinct between Sydney University and Petersham be approved for gentrification. “Council heard from artists, venue operators, residents and representatives from organisations like SLAM and Sounds Australia, which shows the

T

campaign has a truly broad reach,”she said. The idea of the motion was to not only push for talented artists to be supported, but also provide a late night entertainment precinct for local residents. “There are a large number of talented artists living in and around Marrickville and council should look at a way to support them,” she said. “Our community wants to see Parramatta Road reborn as Sydney’s fi rst live music and cultural precinct.” Marrickville Council will join Leichhardt Council and the City of Sydney to plan legislation around improving the growth of live music industry. An investigation into Parramatta Road and its viability as a live music hub will be conducted.

The NSW Police Force have said they are monitoring the deadly explosions in Boston this week and the response of the authorities to the bomb blasts. Assistant Commissioner Peter Dein, Commander of the Counter Terrorism and Special Tactics Command said that police were in contact with partner agencies at the State, National and International level to gain a better appreciation as to what has actually happened.

Operation Apollo: Drugs and cash seized Specialist police attached to Operation Apollo executed several search warrants throughout Sydney last Thursday, April 11, seizing drugs, cash and weapons. At a property on Livingstone Road in Marrickville, police found more than 150 grams of MDMA, 80 vials of steroids and 2,000 tablets, which will be tested to determine their chemical properties. At a property in nearby Ivanhoe Street, Marrickville, police seized steroids and a large amount of cash. A large amount of cash was also seized from a home on Challis Street in Dulwich Hill. More arrests are expected and police urge anyone with information that may assist with their investigation to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Council in stouch with Transport for NSW over disability access to concourse BASIL NAIMET

he recent upgrade of Sydenham Station by Transport for NSW has been met with disappointment from Marrickville Council. Whilst the Council welcomes the internal improvements to the station, it is concerned that the upgrade has failed to factor in easy access for those with less mobility – people with disabilities, the aged and parents with prams. Mayor of Marrickville, Councillor Victor Macri said the upgrade to the railway station, although pleasing, did not satisfy community or council expectations. “The reality is this is a missed opportunity. Sydenham railway station cannot fully function as an accessible interchange until all commuters, including those with access issues, can freely move between bus, train and pedestrian transit points,” he said. A spokesperson for Marrickville Council added that holistic changes were needed rather than an upgrade of the railway station only. “Transport for NSW has given no thought to the area surrounding the new station concourse or how people will access the new station,” the spokesperson said. “The two issues are: the location of the bus stops, and pedestrian paths. Neither comply with access standards. “The M30 [red buses with wheelchair access] start and fi nish at the railway station, however there are severe gradients

T

to negotiate in order to reach the concourse entry from these bus stops. Th is makes it too difficult for less mobile pedestrians to get to the concourse.” Local resident Andrew Longhurst uses a manual wheelchair to get around. Mr Longhurst drives to work, but says if he has to catch a train from Sydenham Station, it is difficult to go from the M30 bus to the concourse because of access issues. “At the moment I need to push myself up a long gradient which is tiring. It would make my life and other pedestrians’ lives easier if there was access directly to the concourse from the bus interchanges,” he said. A spokesman for Transport for NSW said Sydenham Station received a $35 million upgrade to the concourse in February 2013 that complied with the Disability and Discrimination Act. Cr Macri said that complying with the Disability Discrimination Act without actually planning for a functional interchange was backwards thinking. “There is a fully accessible bus fleet that passes by Sydenham Station and now fully accessible lifts linking the platforms to the concourse – however for anyone with less mobility, it is not currently possible to access the station from the bus or vice versa,” he said. The Spokesman for Transport for NSW said the roads fall under the council’s jurisdiction. “Burrows Avenue and Railway Parade are both maintained by the local council,” he said.

Australian Martial Arts Academy: Learn from the best in the art!

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK

35/142 Addison Road, Marrickville Phone: 9591 6614 www.australianmartialarts.com.au eet the new age Martial Arts training facility in the Inner West that is focussing on fun with a twist. Australian Martial Arts Academy (AMA) has two unique facets. First, it’s centred around teaching families and helping its members to do their best on and off the mats. AMA has regular sessions in which families can train in the same class or at the same time in age appropriate and fun classes. The second unique feature is the

M

instructors themselves. They’re not employees, rather they come up through the ranks as members of their very own martial arts community. Sarah Perkins is an Australian Taekwondo Team representative and winner of the Korean and Malaysian Opens. She says many of the instructors have been there since the age of three and worked their way through to instructors via the Leadership Elite Program. “That way we know they are true role models and that they have all the skills to

equip them to be great teachers,” she said. “Hakan Manav is just one of our instructors who not only is a five-time World Sports Karate Champion and Head Instructor, but demonstrates a healthy lifestyle and great attitude. He’s been with us since the age of three years and with the help of the Leadership Elite Program has developed into a world recognised leader in instructing and martial arts technique who his students adore,” she said. Sarah says instructors are “well rounded” in other facets of endeavour and

achievements. “One of our instructors Paula Thompson came fi rst in the state in textile design in the HSC last year. The instructors are balanced, focused people who credit this to their years of martial arts training.” AMA runs 63 classes a week with ages from three years to adults. School holiday programs are available from 9am until 3pm, Monday to Friday for children three to 15-years and caters for skill levels from beginners to experienced. Martial arts taught are: Self defence, Bully busting, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, XMA (Xtreme Martial Arts), Karate, Hapkido, Gymnastics and Acrobatics. Australian Martial Arts Academy have a ‘back to school with confidence’ pack to give away. The pack includes a uniform, gloves, a cap and training for two weeks valued at $200.

You can go all out to achieve your aims as you are practically invincible, but do keep things in proportion and don’t over do it. You’re going to be sizzling hot, not only do you have extra confidence but you are also feeling good and looking good, as well as being at your most loving and creative. Th is is certainly good news for all you fun lovers, party goers and romantics. Power, passion and intensity are emanating from you.

Do you need help preventing or controlling diabetes?

TAURUS

We know that eggs help to regulate glucose and cholesterol. Let us help you do it too.

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

During the next few weeks you’ll be devoting the majority of your time to your innermost fears and feelings and neglecting your everyday life. Of course it’s important to come to terms with some very personal issues, but if your work or relationships suffer as a result of your insecurities you’ll simply be making life more difficult for yourself. Keep others informed about your current state of mind and they’ll be supportive.

The Shocking Truth About Roof Restoration

12

by Francis A Bevan

Venus In Aries Conjunct Uranus; April 15th - May 1st.

If you’ve ever been concerned about the condition of your roof, then this could be the most important article you read this year. Unscrupulous roof restoration salespeople have been telling unsuspecting homeowners that they need a full roof restoration (clean, repair, re-point, seal, and paint) when in many cases all that they need is a simple repair. This has been going on for years but in recent times has reached epidemic levels. Here’s what typically happens... A telemarketer or door-to-door canvasser offers you a free roof inspection. Sounds like good idea right...? It is a good idea unless the roof inspector (usually a salesperson) does what unfortunately happens in many of these instances: he or she will grossly exaggerate the problems and insist that you really need a full roof restoration when perhaps you don’t. Now there are many instances where a roof restoration is beneficial. But there are also many instances where all you may need is simple roof repair. Local company Reliance Roof Restoration offer a free roof safety inspection where you get the option of actually seeing your roof close up. Any problems are actually pointed out to you. That way, you can be certain that any problems they advise you of are real and not made up or exaggerated. You can either accompany the inspector on the roof, or if you’re unable to do that, you’ll be shown photos taken on a high resolution digital camera. If your roof is fine and needs no work at all, then

Reliance will advise you of that. If all that you need is a small repair, then Reliance will advise you of that. If you’d like to have your roof restored, that’ fine... Reliance would be happy to provide a quote for this service. If you would like a quote on having your roof restored, you’ll get $600 off the quote if you call by next Wednesday. By the way, you’ll be placed under absolutely no obligation whatsover and this service is free for anyone with a home that’s over 12 years in age. Here’s what one satisfied client said of their experience in dealing with Reliance Roof Restoration: “A professional approach by all associated with the job. I was impressed with your attention to detail and advice on other (snall) problems. Follow-up inspection and after job touch-up work was particularly impressive. The friendly nature of all the workers made them a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending ‘Reliance Roof Restoration’ to anyone wanting their roof restored.” Ken Durham

So if you are concerned about the condition of your roof and you’d like a free safety inspection, or if you like a free quote on having your roof restored, then call Reliance on 1300 300 748 or visit their website at www.relianceroof. com. Remember, if you call by next Wednesday you get $600 off the quote of a roof restoration. Call 1300 300 748 NOW! 133ICD2898

For those of you staying at home you will still have the opportunity for exotic experiences even if this simply means indulging in good food and wine. If you are involved in the arts then new marketing strategies are going to improve opportunities.

The home and family are certainly front and centre in your mind; perhaps you will be moving house or planning some changes in your existing home at this time, but either way you will feel excited at the prospect of something new. You are also likely to be doing a lot of entertaining or perhaps having people stay over; either way, you’ll enjoy opening up your home to friends and family. You will bump into old friends around the place.

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

Your popularity is certainly on the rise as many will come knocking at your door for advice, guidance or just a friendly chat. Thanks to your accurate intuition your actions are positively inspired. Ideas will just drop into your mind and they’ll defi nitely work to your advantage. There is also a strong possibility that some money owed to you will fi nally come your way. Th is is the ideal time to purchase a new car or mobile phone.

PISCES

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

You are certainly going to be feeling confident and buoyant about the materialistic side of life as your earning power goes up several notches. Thanks to your entrepreneurial mood, you’ll be ready to tackle any kind of business or fi nancial matter, particularly if the goal is to give you greater freedom. You are determined to clear up any outstanding money matters and wipe the slate clean, so make your intentions clear when negotiating.

Childhood immunisation aking healthy choices for your children can be done in many ways throughout life, however, I see immunisation as one way to protect their little bodies from serious diseases from birth right into their future. Disease prevention is the key to health. It is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it. Vaccinations work by triggering the immune system to fight against certain diseases. If a vaccinated person comes in contact with these diseases, their immune system is able to respond more effectively, preventing the disease from developing or greatly reducing its severity. Newborn babies are protected by their mother’s antibodies, which last only for a small time after birth. (However, if the baby is breastfed the mother will continue to pass on antibodies and protect her baby from some diseases, but that is a whole other column for another week! ) Babies should be given immunisations before these antibodies wear off completely. The fi rst immunisation is recommended at birth, which is Hepatitis B and the schedule for vaccinations continues until the child is four-years-old and then a few as a teenager such as the HPV vaccine for girls to prevent the virus that can develop into cervical cancer. Some of the many infectious diseases that were once common in Australia

M

include, polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib), are now vaccinated against. My own grandfather contracted polio as a very young boy and although he survived it, he went through years of sickness and painful treatment away from his family just so that he could walk. If vaccines were available 80 years ago, his suffering, along with many others who also contracted polio, would not have occurred. Immunisation is a proven tool for controlling and even eradicating disease. An immunisation campaign carried out by the World Health Organisation from 1967 to 1977 eradicated the natural occurrence of smallpox. Since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, polio infections have fallen by 99 per cent, and five million people have escaped paralysis. Between 2000 and 2008, measles deaths dropped worldwide by 78 per cent. Benefit to risk, vaccines are generally safe, and side effects are usually minor, especially when compared to the diseases they are designed to prevent. So, if you are unsure about getting your child immunised, do some research into the diseases they prevent, and think of it as a health investment for your family and beyond.

Don’t forget to warm up

W

e all know we need to warm up before exercise, but why? Working out and getting fit is supposed to make you feel better, help you get stronger and reach your fitness goals. But stress in the workplace and sedentary lifestyles have left most people with bad posture and restricted movements. Th is, along with typical flaws in workout design can quickly lead to overuse injuries and limitations in how you move. One way to overcome these problems? A good warmup. A comprehensive preparation routine will allow you to lift more, recover faster and have better overall movement in and out of the gym. It will also help you to restore balance in the strength of your muscles, which will improve their function and your posture at the same time. The warmup charges up your body prior to the workout, increases your core temperature and makes sure you’re ready to go as soon as you grab that fi rst weight. It also helps to mentally prepare you and serve as a transition from the office to the gym. A good warm-up is done in three stages. The fi rst stage sets the tone and

starts with some form of self-massage, typically referred to as self-myofascial release on a roller or SMR. Th is stage improves the quality of your muscles and soft tissue, which helps them extend and contract better. It also frees up some of the restrictions from long-duration slouched postures associated with a busy lifestyle (think about your work office or long commutes). The next stage includes exercises that improve your overall movement and mobility. Full body movements, done through a full range of motion, should allow your body to work as it is intended. Some examples might include a full range bodyweight squat or a pull-up done from an extended arm position until your chin is over the bar. Finally, as you transition from the warmup to the workout, you should focus on activating the muscles that have been shut down due to poor posture, and start charging up your body for the upcoming demands of the workout. Most times, this means targeting the muscles of your upper back and those that stabilise and engage movements in your hips. Th is will help improve the function of your shoulders and immediately work to help you achieve better full body neutral posture.

CHATTER ON THE BOX WITH NATHAN TAYLOR T

his news will devastate a lot of grandmothers and housewives out there but after 45 years, popular soap ‘Days of our Lives’, has been axed by Channel Nine. Yes the show that brought us the lives of Salem’s finest – John, Marlena, Stefano, Bo and Hope – will no longer screen on free-to-air TV come this Friday, April 26. In 2007, Nine dumped another soapy favourite after 31 years, ‘The Young and the Restless’, which was quickly snapped up by Foxtel’s Arena channel. Nine has yet to announce what will replace ‘Days’ or which channel the show will eventually end up on. I must admit while I haven’t watched the show in a long time (yes I used to watch it during the school holidays whilst my nana looked after me as a kid), it is a massive loss to its large and loyal fan-base. I really hope another free-to-air network picks up the rights and

at least airs it on one of their secondary channels, because not everyone, especially the elderly, has or can afford Foxtel. So long ‘Days’. Comedian and actress Julia Morris has been announced as the new host of the revamped ‘Australia’s Got Talent’. Morris joins the new cast of judges, which features Mel B (pending her court outcome), Timomatic, Kyle Sandilands and Dawn French. I think the decision to chose Morris is yet again another brilliant one by Nine. Morris is an exceptional performer and her off the cuff quips are going to make this show a hoot; she will no doubt do a much better job than Grant Denyer did. Welcome to the team Julia. I’d like to offer a huge well done to ‘The Voice’ coach Delta Goodrem who earlier

this week was involved in a very beautiful moment on Monday night’s show. One of the female contestants sung a rather shaky version of Delta’s number one hit ‘Not Me, Not I’. Now, none of the judges turned around but Delta was such a champion that she pulled the girl off stage, sat her down on her famous red chair and began singing a duet of that same song with her. It was certainly one of the highlights of the season so far and emphasised more than ever that Delta is one of the kindest people in the industry. Dannii Minogue becomes the next reality show judge to do the old switcheroo, joining Seven’s ‘The X-Factor’. Minogue replaces Mel B who of course is making her way to Nine for ‘Australia’s Got Talent’. It’s a bit of shame Seven couldn’t go through their phone book and find

someone different for the role but hey, who am I to judge? No word yet on the fourth judge who will replace Guy Sebastian. Here’s a show about food that’s certainly up my neck of the woods. World famous chef Anthony Bourdain has a new one-hour lifestyle series where he travels across the globe to uncover little-known areas of the world and celebrate diverse cultures by exploring food and dining rituals. Known for his curiosity, honesty and sharp wit, Bourdain takes viewers off the beaten path of tourist destinations – including some war-torn parts of the world – and meets with a variety of local citizens to offer a window into their lifestyles, and occasionally communes with an internationally lauded chef on his journeys. ‘Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown’ airs on CNN on Mondays at 11am.

Smash Palace Under Chairman Mao, the Communist Party set out to “smash the Four Olds”: customs, culture, habits and ideas, yet the “new China” now finds itself increasingly under threat, with greed, corruption and government controls generating anger and anxiety. Smash Palace, at Sydney’s White Rabbit Gallery, showcases the reactions of China’s best artists to the shocks of the new century, from artists such as Cheng Dapeng’s surreal cities created using cutting-edge 3D printing to Tu Pei-Shih’s teeming animations depicting Chinese history as a path to confusion and chaos. Smash Palace opens March 1 and runs until August 4, with entry free. For more information visit www. whiterabbitcollection.org or call 8399 2867.

BASIL NAIMET

ith the A-League grand fi nal being played between the Western Sydney Wanderers and the Central Coast Mariners this Sunday, Sydney’s sporting imagination is coming to life. So too is the Inner West competition with Stanmore Hawks looking to make the jump from division two into division one of the State league next year. But it’s only early days. With only two rounds played, the Hawks are sitting in fi fth spot. Club President Tony Panteli is quietly confident his team will be a force this season. And after winning their second match with a score line of 4-1 against Enfield Wanderers last Sunday there’s no wonder Mr Panteli is feeling confident. “I’m confident we can go all the way this year, the team is looking really sharp,” he said. As well as having a team in the Under 20’s and State League, Stanmore Hawks are also building the numbers in the younger age groups. Mr Panteli said the club wants to send a positive message to children and young adults who aren’t active to get involved in
