Albo and Bill battle for leadership, but is it a temporary position? If good leadership creates a successful organisation or a posi tive outcome to a challen ging situation, then it’s fair to say that bad leadership becomes endemic and can often emerge as the root cause of failure. An iconic brand in Australia is at the moment in trouble because of leadership issues. I am referring to the Australian Labor Party. The A ustralian L abor Party has a signific ant history in Australia but is well and truly demonstrating the rollercoaster ride tha t is the grea tness of success and misery of failure. As Anthony Albanese and Bill Shorten continue to w ork their wa y around the coun try in some sort of in ternal elec tion c ampaign, both w ould know that no ma tter who w ins, there’s a stron g likelihood that neither will lead Labor to the 2016 Federal Election. A lot of wa ter w ill c ross under the bridg e between no w and then, and unless T ony Abbot t proves to be a shambolic mess as Prime Minister, it is hard to see either Albanese or Shorten being the shining light that Labor desperately needs to win an election in three years. Here’s the problem – L abor stuffed up the course of time and righ t now is missin g out on what should actually be a v ery prosperous time in opposition. Julia Gillar d shoul d no w be leadin g the L abor Party for the first time, and leadin g them to the

2016 election. No ma tter ho w successful T ony Abbot t is or isn’t, I doubt he coul d have stopped the jugg ernaut of public ity and positivity that would have surrounded the possibili ty of A ustralia’s first female Prime Minister being elected. Labor should have left Kevin Rudd in charge for the entirety of the last six years – he probably still would have won in 2010 , and while 2013 w ould have been a loss, histor y w ould a t least ha ve shown stability for the party. Supporters could have talked about Rudd without burstin g out in to laugh ter gi ven the shambolic wa y his leadership stop- started o ver the past six years. Gillard w ould nev er ha ve had the stigma of stabbing someone in the back to g et the job surrounding her , and her tenure as Opposi tion Leader would have been lon g enough for her to connect to the electorate in a way she never did. As much as Labor will forever have the right to claim it installed Australia’s first female Prime Minister, it will also have to live with the fact that it stuffed it up. One gets the feeling that the ne xt Labor Prime Minister is not yet in Parliament. It ma y w ell be tha t the w inner of the L abor leadership ballot is nothin g but c annon fod der for the 2016 elec tion, simply put ting their hand up to take one for the team.

Health concerns More than one in five Australians have experienced discrimination in the workplace due to mental illness, according to new research by the Mental Health Council of Australia (MHCA). The research has been conducted as part of this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign. “When 22 per cent of people surveyed tell us that they have witnessed discrimination in the workplace, relating to mental illness, it shows that we have a serious problem with stigma in this countr. It is concerning that 35 oer cent of respondents completely ruled out the possibility of talking about mental health,” MHCA CEO Frank Quinlan said.

Have a Plan B: State Government steps up safety message to sports fans

TROY DODDS @doseofdoddsy

ith tens of thousands of sporting fans e xpected to flock to the NRL finals this weekend and with the cricket and soccer season ahead, the NSW Government is makin g its point clear when i t comes to drink-driving: Have a ‘Plan B’. Sports Minister Gabrielle Upton and Parliamentary Secretary for Roads, Stuart Ayres, this week unveiled a new partnership to promote the NSW G overnment’s ‘Plan B’ an ti drink - driving c ampaign throughout the remainder of the NRL finals. Minister Upton announced ‘Plan B ’ signage has been installed in k ey loc ations at ANZ Stadium, to pro vide fans w ith a reminder of choosing and organising their Plan B options carefully. “The signage will be in place for the NRL finals startin g w ith this F riday’s S outh

excuse for getting behind the wheel.” Mr Ayres said i t was partic ularly important to get the message through to vulnerable young males. “Young men – like many who attend ANZ Stadium for the bigg est sporting matches – are tragically over-represented in drinkdriving deaths, so we hope they listen to the messag e, bec ause i t coul d sa ve their life or someone else’s,” he said. “In NS W, drink - driving kills more than 50 people and injures more than 1, 000 every year. 80 per cent of the drink-drivers involved in fa tal c rashes are men. Threequarters of them are aged under 40.” Daryl Kerry, ANZ Stadium Managin g Director, said public transport was the best ‘Plan B’ possible as there are multiple modes of public transport available. “We always encourage fans to g et to the Stadium usin g public transport, which is especially easy for big games when ev ery fan’s match ticket doubles as a train, ferr y and bus ticket,” he said. “ANZ Stadium is w ell-serviced by trains from Olympic Park Station and buses to all corners of Sydney. “If y ou c atch public transport to the game, y ou immedia tely ha ve y our Plan B if y ou wish to ha ve a few drinks on the night.”

Community and Greens unite in fight against 16 storey apartment block Greens Councillors say unit block is an "outrageous" development BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

Greens Counc illor has labelled Marrickville Counc il’s dec ision to allo w a dev eloper’s proposal to buil d a 16 storey apartmen t block in Marrickville as “outrageous”. Cr David Leary said the planning proposal submi tted to Counc il, which includes 120 apartment, was not in the best in terests of local residents. “This proposal is totally unreasonable, is totally outside wha t the c urrent planning regulations allow and is n ot supported by local residents,” Cr Leary said.

It also drama tically e xceeds man y other planning controls,” Cr Leary added. “There is no real public benefit from this development. Instead local residents will be stuck w ith a 16 storey high rise apart ment right next door to their homes, massive overshadowing, extra traffic and major disruption during construction.” Residents ha ve formed a group c alled ‘Say No to 16 Storeys’. “$1.5 million of ra tepayers’ money was spent in sec uring the Marrickv ille LEP in 2011 w ith a permi tted maximum heigh t of seven to eight storeys for this site, now it is bein g bargained off to an unhear d of record lev el of 16 storeys, ” sp okesperson Laura Eden said.

Unmarked police vehicle catches drink driver

Woman entered elderly victim's home and took wallet

About 10.15pm on Friday night police were patrolling Stanmore Road, Stanmore in an unmarked police vehicle. Police observed the driver of a Subaru Impreza driving erratically. A short time later police activated the warning lights and stopped the vehicle. The driver was spoken to by police and subjected to a roadside breath test. The test returned a positive reading and the driver was subsequently arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station for the purpose of a Breath Analysis. As a result of the Breath Analysis the driver was charged with mid range PCA and his licence was suspended. The driver is due to face Newtown Local Court in relation to the matter.

About 6.15am last Sunday morning an elderly woman who lives in a unit in View Street heard a knock on her door. As she regularly has carers attend her unit she answered the door. When she opened the door she did not recognise the female standing there. After a short conversation with the unknown female, the person has brushed past the elderly victim and entered her unit. The victim has demanded that the unknown female leave her unit immediately, but the female has walked around inside the unit before deciding leaving to leave. A short time later the victim has noticed her wallet had been taken and called police. Anyone with information should contact Marrickville police.

Man hunt is on for offender who smashed shop window

Police issue warning in the lead up to party season

About 2.20am on Monday morning police were called to a pizza shop on Victoria Road, Marrickville after a witness had observed an unknown male smash the front window. Police attended a short time later and observed the damage to the window. Police conducted patrols and were unable to locate the person. The male was described as wearing white pants, but no further details are currently available. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Marrickville Local Area Command on 9568 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Young people and particularly those under the age of 18 are vulnerable to the damaging effects of alcohol. There are a number of laws in NSW designed to protect young people (under 18 years) from being sold, given or from consuming alcohol. These laws apply to those that supply alcohol to under 18’s, and the under 18’s themselves. NSW Police is committed to enforcing these laws and increasing community awareness of the legal, social and health harms associated with under-age drinking. Information on Police activities in relation to underage drinking is available on their website: www.police.nsw.gov.au.

Express train causes concern for Tebbutt

The State Government's new train timetable is causing some controversy.

BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

ember for Marrickv ille C armel Tebbutt has questioned the Sta te G overnment’s new train timetable suggesting that the express train ser vice to be delivered by the O’Farrell Government “breaks promises”. Ms T ebbutt said the communi ty was not consulted nor was there a draft report released by the Government. “The Government’s failure to release a draft or allo w any community consultation means that for commuters, the devil will be in the detail tha t emerges over the coming days. “Inner W est commuters w ill g o f rom one train every 10 minutes in the peak to one every 15 minutes… commuters from Newtown to the city will see a loss of five

weekday morning services between 6am and 9am. This is not g ood enough for a government tha t promised impro ved train services,” she said. Shadow Minister for Transport P enny Sharpe ad ded tha t the G overnment needed to implemen t an opera tional strategy that would allow the new timetable to work, but had failed to deliver on their promise. “There are three tests for this timetable. A re t he p romises o n e xpress t rains delivered? Have journey times for commuters dec reased? And w ill the system work reliably and on time once implemented?” “Minister Berejiklian was unable to say whether the e xpress trains and tra vel time sa vings tha t she promised ha ve been delivered to commuters,” she said. Minister B erejiklian’s office was approached for commen t ho wever t hey were unavailable.

The Chief Ex ecutive of M eals on Wheels NSW, L es M cDonald, said there was a dan ger that the ser vice for the elderly may be shut do wn if the numbers don’t pick up and soon.

is the key to dressing appropriately at a wedding

MON 12-5 TUES-FRI 10-5 SAT 10-4 SUNDAY CLOSED 85 DUNNING AVE ROSEBERY 2018, NSW 156ICD3316

One of y our chil dhood f riends is g etting married – a sprin g wedding, ho w perfec t – and y ou ha ve just c reated the best outfit for you to wear to help celebrate their big day. You put i t on, totally sa tisfied w ith ho w i t looks and y ou think “yeah, I look good”, but you stop right there as a million questions flood into your mind. Am I g oing to upstag e the bride ? Should my dress be this short? Is m y suit going to look lik e the groom ’s? Should I tr y not to stand out? A wedding is an ev ent that you c an’t compare to an ything else; you simply can’t get away with dressing like it is a birthday party or dressing like you are going to a work function. It is so easy to miss the mark. You have been in vited to share in someone ’s special day as a guest, which means that showing the couple respect should be your highest focus. I think the notion of dressin g w ith respec t at a w edding is where the tradi tional ‘ don’t w ear whi te’ and ‘ don’t upstag e the bride’ customs come from. When a w oman wears something low cut or super short to a wedding, it can come ac ross very really disrespec tful and a tad tasteless too. At the last wedding I went to, I was shocked to see one of the guests wearing a playsuit. Now don’t get me wrong, wearing a playsuit is fine but this young woman was wearing one that had no back and an enormous split down the front, there was more skin than clothing. She looked amazing, like she was born to w ear clothes lik e that but still, to a wedding? More people talked about her outfit than they talked about the bride – that is disrespectful. This is the same as wearing something too casual. Unless c asual is spec ifically sta ted in the dress- code y ou should be prepared to w ear somethin g formal – men, this means a tie. Never, ever be tricked into thinking that a t-shirt can pass as formal or that you can wear sneakers with pants; not only do you look stupid but you look like you didn’t try.

The case for appointing a named midwife

Four tips to live by and improve your health

Science gives us so many great inventions and advanced technolog y tha t we sometimes for get good old human interaction and ho w importan t i t is. There seems to be a baby boom on at the moment and this is an area where interaction and human support is v ery valuable. ELISHA An Australian study highlights the STEIN benefits of one-to-one care before, during and after childbirth. Registered nurse and midwife Scientists from the University of Sydney compared the ol d system of appointing a named midw ife to o versee childbirth and standard maternity care that tends to be shared between different health professionals. They found that the simple ac t of using an individual caseload midw ife led to a signific ant reduction in ra tes of nonemergency caesarean-section births. Women under the care of a named midwife were also less likely to e xperience a spon taneous labour , required lo wer doses of pain-killing drugs, and suffered less blood loss after birth. They stayed in hospital for less time than women given standard care, and were more likely to breastfeed their babies. Under c aseload midw ifery, w omen w ere look ed after b y a named midwife or backup throu ghout pregnancy and c hildbirth. The midw ife continued to mak e home v isits for up to six weeks after the baby was born. However the midw ives delivering standard c are were only available on a rostered basis and supported b y other hospital staff. They did not ha ve the opportuni ty to fo rm one-to-one relationships w ith w omen throughout the dura tion of their care. Just as a mum ’s bond to her newborn pro vides immeasurable health benefits to her baby, so too does her o wn support network provide huge benefits.

People love information in small chunks so I lo ve these four tips from Irena Macri who writes;

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

sleep

is important for concentration and energy

Firstly, diet is a hug e part of ho w you look and feel. I foc us on f ree- range and grass fed mea ts, fish and seafood, lots of vegetables, some fruit, berries, nuts and seeds and natural sweeteners like honey or dried f ruit. I include a li ttle healthy, unsweetened, full fat dairy as I have no sensitivities and I especially like yogurt. I avoid grains, gluten, legumes, so y, processed sugar and hydrogenated/industrial seed and soy-based oils such as canola, soybean, vegetable and sunflower. I try to keep alcohol to a minimum. Secondly, laugh. They say laughter is the best medicine and they are right. Research and studies reveal that laughter helps to improve one’s immunity against diseases. It’s probably because laughter is a po werful stress reliever providing us w ith positive ener gy. I lik e surroundin g m yself w ith people tha t make me laugh and I lik e to laugh a t myself, which is also a good habit to get into. I often look up jok es or wa tch something ridiculous on YouTube to get a good dose of laugh ter. I highly recommend going to stand-up comedy or you can even try self-induced laughter by practicing laughter yoga. Thirdly, break a sw eat. Spend some time each da y moving your body until you break a sweat. Jog, run, dance, swim, do yoga or p ilates, surf, hike, rock climb or wha tever you like to do for 20- 30 minutes each da y or more. Y ou don’t even have to get into your gym gear, just get up and start moving around. Exercise keeps you young, fit and happy. That’s a fact! And fourth, I try to get eight hours of sleep each night. Most of us don’t get enough sleep either by not sleeping well or not sleeping long enough. L ack of sleep messes w ith our cortisol levels and c an cause sugar c ravings, poor concen tration, decreased energy and w eight gain. I kno w we all li ve in different circumstances and go through different stages in our lives where even an hour of sleep is precious but if possible, make your shut-eye time a priority as it affects more than you know.

Battle of the game shows Well to my delight Channel Seven’s new game show ‘Million Dollar Minute’ is tanking after just two weeks on air. The show started off fairly strong beating ‘Millionaire Hot Seat’ in the first few nights but has since slipped away. If Seven are struggling for a decent game show to fill that 5.30pm slot I would suggest securing the American version of ‘Family Feud’.

Still on Seven and ‘The Morning Show’ host Larry Emdur has recorded a late night talk-show pilot for the network. The show titled ‘Larry on Late’ was recorded last week with Guy Sebastian and Samantha Armytage as guests. Who knows if this show will get off the ground.

Everybody’s favourite dancing show, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ has finally been given an airdate with Tuesday, October 1 at 7.30pm the chosen slot. Daniel MacPherson is back as host with celebrities Tina Arena, Jesinta Campbell, Rhiannon Fish and Tony Barber.

US cable network AMC has announced a spin-off to ‘The Walking Dead’. It’s understood the show will revolve around an entire new story and set of characters and will give fans “another unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse”. Season 1 of ‘The Walking Dead’ will air on SBS soon.

Lastly, Channel Nine has confirmed the premiere date of Toni Collette’s new show ‘Hostages’. It's about a doctor whose family is taken hostage before the doctor operates on the US President. It will air on Wednesday, October 2 at 8.30pm. The new series of ‘CSI’ will air straight after.

NRL finals action begins NATHAN TAYLOR

ill S outh S ydney mak e the grand final for the first time 42 years? Will the R oosters’ off- season spendin g spree pay off ? C an Manly o vercome inj uries to play in their fourth grand final in sev en years? Can the Knights continue to be the dark horse and cause the upset of the season? All those burnin g questions w ill be answered after a no doubt thrilling weekend of NRL Finals action. It all kicks off tonigh t when ev eryone’s second favourite team South Sydney take on the Manly Sea Eagles at ANZ Stadium. After t wo w eeks of f to r efresh t he b atteries t he R abbitohs g o i nto t he g ame a s short-priced favourites against the Sea Eagles who had a har d fought battle against the Cronulla Sharks last weekend. The Rabbi tohs head in to game a t full strength and boast the likes of some of the

game’s biggest names including Greg Inglis, Issac Luk e, A dam R eynolds and S am Burgess. Manly possess an equally as stron g side but do g o in to the clash ba ttered and bruised w ith injur y clouds surroundin g fullback Brett Stewart and prop Brent Kite. However the S ea Eagles are the masters of grindin g out a w in and w ith Kieran Foran, Daly Cherr y- Evans and their c aptain J amie Lyon all on deck for tonigh t’s encounter anything can happen. If games were determined on paper S aturday night’s game at Allianz Stadium between the Sydney Roosters and Newcastle Knights should already be awarded to the boys f rom B ondi but if tha t was the c ase the so-called “Dad’s Army” from Newcastle would’ve been booted out of the finals series in week one. Although, Newcastle’s red hot finals run could finally come to an end this weekend when they play the superb minor premiership winning Sydney Roosters. The Roosters have the best team in the NRL and w ith pla yers lik e Michael J ennings, Mitchell Pearce and Sonny Bill Williams it’s very hard to tip against them. But i t is finals footy and y ou all kno w what that means – anything can happen!

Cronulla dash hopes of a second successive premiership for Newtown

LIVE MUSIC THURS-SAT

he N ewtown J etsâ€™ d ream o f a s econd successive p remiership w ere d ashed by the Cronulla Sharks a t L eichhardt Oval on Sunday. The J ets opened the scorin g through fi veeighth Adam Henry in the third minute, scoring beneath the post after a high kick f rom R yley Jacks. The Sharks hit back with two slick tries to lock T yrone Peachey to lead 12- 6 after 17 minutes of play. Newtown sta yed w ith the pace of the game and scored through Nafe S eluini t aking the score to 12-all at the 20th minute. However that was as close as the Jets would get to Cronulla for the rest of the match. Penalties, pushed passes, handling errors and possession turnovers gave the Sharks a mountain of possession and terri tory that they used to take control in the back half of the first quarter of the match. The Sharks scored three more devastating tries, including one in the 39th minute, to lead 28-12 at half-time.
