labor’s spillTROY DODDs’ OPINION page 2 ceo sleepout success

G rayndler MP Anthony Albanese was a big winner out of Wednesday night’s leadership spill, emerging as Deputy Leader after Kevin Rudd’s victory over

Julia Gillard in the battle for the nation’s top job.Wayne Swan stood down as Deputy Leader

following Ms Gillard’s defeat, prompting a spill for the position, with both Mr Albanese and Simon Crean nominating.

Mr Albanese won the ballot 61 to 38.Referred to as “Deputy Prime Minister Albo” by

Mr Rudd in a press conference following the ballot, Mr Albanese has emerged as one of the great political survivors in recent years – remaining a high profi le Minister despite openly backing Mr Rudd. Now, he’s been rewarded.

“I think it says a great thing about our nation and the opportunity that it has represented for Australians through the generations, that a son of a single parent who grew up in a Council house in Inner Sydney can rise to the position of Deputy Prime Minister,” Mr Albanese said.

“What Labor is about is opportunity for all. It is about removing discrimination across the board whether it be on the basis of race, gender,

ethnicity or religion.”Mr Albanese said he would give his

“enthusiasm, passion and commitment” to his new role.

“I have a big job to do,” he said.“It is only Labor Governments I believe that

can truly serve the long term interests of the nation.”

Facing annihilation at the election later this year, Labor has a better chance of saving itself under Mr Rudd, according to Mr Albanese.

“I believe we have this evening maximised our chances of going into a third term and beyond of a Labor Government,” he said on Wednesday.

TROY DODDSFrom The Editor’s Desk

Rudd will defi nitely save seats for the Labor Party

the classroom and you were the student.Kevin Rudd meanwhile is the naughty

kid up the back of the classroom who gets everyone’s attention.

Rudd is not the shining light that could win the election for Labor; that candle burned out some time ago.

But it is an opportunity for the Party to move on from what has been a disastrous three years, and create a newfound unity that has been sorely missing in the past few years.

It is certainly a greater challenge for Tony Abbott; the problem for Labor is that Abbott could very well rise to that challenge and only re-affi rm much of the support he already has in the polls.

One thing is for sure: It’ll be a lot diff erent in Canberra between now and the end of the year.

Hopefully, we’ve seen the last of topics such as knitting dominating the day’s politics.

What a ridiculous, overblown story that was – who gives a rat if Ms Gillard posed for some PR pictures for the Women’s Weekly.

For God’s sake, it’s a glossy women’s mag; she wasn’t knitting the thing while sitting in Parliament.

Are we really shocked that a politician took part in a stunt in an attempt to boost their popularity with a certain demographic?

Hello, that’s what shopping centre visits and baby kissing is all about and you’d struggle to fi nd a politician who hasn’t taken part in that kind of thing during their career.

I really hope that the whole knitting episode was the fi nal straw in the Canberra press gallery’s obsession with non-issues. If it’s not, we risk going to this election with voters focused on personality politics; totally misinformed about policies and the real issues.

It is not just the politicians who are to blame for that; it is those delivering the message, too.

So, here we are. Kevin Rudd back in charge of a train that left the tracks long ago.

One gets the feeling the soap opera is far from over.

Westfi eld Penrith and he was the kind of guy who grabbed you; you wanted to believe what he was saying even if every fi bre of your being was telling you that you shouldn’t.

Ms Gillard had that same ability, so I am told, when one-on-one, but it never translated to the wider public.

When speaking to the nation, it always felt like she was the teacher at the front of

T he more things change, the more they stay the same.

Th at’s basically the best way to sum up the last three years of

Australian politics.We’ve had the leadership merry-go-

round, we’ve had the bizarre world of the Independents who hold the hung Parliament together, and we’ve had debates over the smallest of issues that somehow become major talking points.

In the space of a few days this week, everything came to a head.

Th e leadership via the ballot on Wednesday night, the issues surrounding the Independents via the resignation announcements of Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, and the small issues focus via, of all things, knitting.

Th e last three years have been nothing short of a nightmare.

It’s been an embarrassment to us as a nation, and we can only hope that the events of this week mean we can move on to bigger and better things.

Let’s hope that this is the line in the sand that allows us all to put the last three years behind us.

To be honest I really thought the ship had sailed for Kevin Rudd some months ago, but the speculation just wouldn’t go away, and in typical Rudd fashion, neither would he.

It’s unbelievable, really, that we fi nd ourselves back with Kevin Rudd as the Labor leader, three years after he was knifed by Julia Gillard.

He has returned the favour in a twist that no Law And Order episode could ever match.

Will he save Labor from losing the election? Probably not, but it’s probably made a few Liberal candidates put the printing of their new business cards on hold just for now.

Rudd will defi nitely save seats for Labor. Whilst he may have been vehemently disliked within Labor during his time as PM, he always had the ability to do the one thing Julia Gillard never could: connect with the people.

I had coff ee with Kevin Rudd in, if I remember correctly, 2009.

The biggest battle on Wednesday was supposed to be between New South Wales and Queensland on the footy fi eld.

But it turned out that a contest with just as much aggression was lurking in the shadows ready to steal the spotlight.

Julia Gillard’s reign as Prime Minister crashed down around her this week, with Kevin Rudd – the man whose job she took three years ago – winning a dramatic Wednesday night leadership ballot to reclaim the nation’s top job.

Mr Rudd won the leadership ballot convincingly, 57 to 45.

After promising in March that “under no circumstances” would he contest the Prime Ministership, Mr Rudd said that the challenge had to occur due to dwindling popularity ahead of the Federal election.

“We are on course for a catastrophic defeat, unless, of course, we have change,” he said.

“People want a real choice at this election, at present they don’t feel they have got one. I don’t seek to fudge the fact that I have changed my position... But I am doing what I honestly believe to be right for Australia.”

Speculation of a challenge was mounting on Wednesday and just after 4pm, Ms Gillard declared she’d had enough and called for a ballot.

“I’ve got an obligation to the nation... I’m not going to let that speculation run

endlessly,” she said.Th e fi nal nail in Ms Gillard’s coffi n

came when powerbroker Bill Shorten switched to the Rudd Camp half an hour before the ballot.

“It is my personal conviction that the best interests of Australia must come fi rst – I believe Kevin Rudd being elected

provides the best chance for Labor to be re-elected,” Mr Shorten said.

Ms Gillard and Mr Rudd had both promised they would not contest the election if they lost the ballot, meaning Ms Gillard’s career is eff ectively over.

“I congratulate Mr Rudd on his election,” Ms Gillard said.

Kevin Rudd was returned to the Labor leadership on Wednesday night following his acrimonious departure in 2010 by Julia Gillard.

With the leadership war now over, it’s down to the selection of the ministry Mr Rudd will choose to take to the election.

Local residents are divided over who should govern the Labor party, however sentiment on Mr Rudd’s return to the Prime Ministership has tilted in his favour.

Aurelio Machado from Earlwood said he welcomes Mr Rudd back as leader because he is the man to guide Australia to economic prosperity through the policies he never implemented when he was Prime Minister in 2010.

“I like his ideas and I think he’ll change the course we are going in for the better with his economic policies.”

Helen Marselis from Bardwell Park said she welcomes Mr Rudd back with joy.

“Me and my family were up partying last night,” she said.

“As soon as we heard he was Prime Minister again, we were overjoyed and started celebrating. We support him 1,000 per cent.”

But Ana Almeida from Earlwood said she didn’t care who was leading the Labor party because too much damage had been done already.

“I think what Labor is doing is a joke. If these people can’t run their own party, how can they run the country?”

Poppy and Nick from Marrickville said Labor needed to have a greater vision for

the nation.“We need to have politicians who look

beyond their three-year terms. Our politicians don’t seem to have a longer term commitment to the people of

Australia. Th at’s why we’ve lost confi dence in our politicians.”

But Attila Tusak from Marrickville said having Kevin Rudd back in as Prime Minister was a step in the right direction

for the country. “Kevin Rudd didn’t get to fi nish what he

was voted in to do. He’ll get the chance to put the country back on track with the policies he didn’t implement in 2010.”

United leadership still dividesThe battle between Gillard and Rudd may be over, but will it win the public?

Concerns over promotion: Greens say focus is lost

Greens candidate for the Federal seat of Grayndler, Hall Greenland has expressed concern for what the elevation

of Anthony Albanese to Deputy PM means for the people of his electorate.

“Congratulations to the member for Grayndler on manoeuvring himself into the Deputy Prime Minister

position, but there are real concerns about what this means for our electorate,” he said.

“People I’m talking to every day are over the Labor party machine and the internal games they play, especially in NSW.

“Despite 17 years in parliament, including Minister under Kevin Rudd,

then Julia Gillard... and now in the New Rudd experiment, the people of Grayndler continue to face many problems that remain unresolved by their local member.

“Lack of affordable child care, no solution to aircraft noise, limited access to aged care places and one of the worst take-ups of solar power of any electorate in the country illustrate that Mr Albanese has been more focused on his party than the people,” Mr Greenland said.

He said residents of Grayndler want a member with a local focus. Mr Albanese has been named Deputy PM.

High range PCA: Female driver caughtA female driver was stopped on Stanmore Road, Stanmore for a random breath test last Friday morning at about 12.30am. Police spoke to the driver and asked her to undertake a random breath test. She subsequently returned a positive reading. She was arrested and escorted to Newtown Police Station for further breath analysis. Th e results showed the woman had a high range PCA reading. She was then charged and is due to face Newtown local court next month.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Items stolen: Police plea for informationSometime between 9am on Saturday and about 1pm on Tuesday a person or a number of people have forced their way into a unit located on Petersham Road, Marrickville, near the corner of Marrickville Road. Once inside the unit they have stolen a number of items which included two televisions and a racing bike. Marrickville Police are appealing for anyone who may have any information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Marrickville Police on 9568 9299.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Noises in the night: Attempted robberyOn Monday morning somewhere between 1am and 7.45am a person or a number people have attempted to gain entry into a unit on Stanmore Road, Stanmore near the intersection of Tupper Street. It appears as though the perpetrators have fl ed after knocking down a pot plant from the window sill in the process of attempting to gain entry. Th e victims were at home in bed at the time and were awoken to noises around 1.30am. When they woke later that morning they discovered that the bathroom window was slightly open. Marrickville Police are appealing for anyone who may have information about this incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Marrickville Police on 9568 9299.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Warning to parents: Teach kids the right messagePolice are asking parents to ensure they send a positive message about the police to their kids. Comments like “If you are bad you will go to the police station” are unhelpful, especially when kids may need help in an urgent situation.

POLICE SNAPSHOT

Today is Red Nose Day, the event that runs throughout the month of June and is the major fundraiser for SIDS and Kids.

Th e aim is to help save lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and to support bereaved families regardless of what causes death.

Marrickville Labor Councillor Sam Iskandar, who has six children of his own, and has just added another grandchild to the fold.

He says that it’s important local residents get behind events like Red Nose Day to raise important funds and awareness.

“I can’t imagine the torment parents go through when they lose a child at any time in their lives, so losing an infant to death would bring your world crashing down,” he said.

“I’ve become a grandfather for the fourth time. Being a parent is wonderful, but being a grandfather is like living in paradise. You just cannot say not to your grandchildren.”

People with high profi les within communities are being urged to help raise awareness.

“If I can contribute in any way to support the research for children who die prematurely of sudden infant death then I’m happy to do that,” Cr Iskandar said.

Education initiatives such as the SIDS and Kids’ Safe Sleeping Program have been running since 1990, saving the lives of an estimated 7,500 Australian babies.

New parents have benefi ted from the SIDS and Kids program with the help of health care professionals, childcare organisations and online support networks.

Classroom awareness: New program targets poverty

Understanding homelessness and poverty is being taught in the classroom thanks to Th e Big Issue’s e-Classroom.

Last Friday Federal Education Minister, Peter Garrett together with Member for Grayndler Anthony Albanese and Member for Marrickville Carmel Tebbutt attended Dulwich High School to launch the $120,000 program.

It’s designed to bring the experiences of homeless people to the classroom via

interactive workshops delivered through web conferencing equipment.

Mr Albanese said students at Dulwich High had shown a strong commitment towards social justice and programs such as this would allow other schools valuable insight into the world of homelessness and poverty.

“Improving awareness of this issue will help overcome stereotyped perceptions of homeless people,” Mr Albanese said.

“Th e Big Issue has done a great job helping homeless people gain some fi nancial independence.”

The Shocking Truth About Roof RestorationIf you’ve ever been concerned about the condition of your roof, then this could

be the most important article you read this year.

CALL BY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND GET $600 OFF

1300 300 748N.J.E. ENTERPRISES PTY LTD ABN 90 153 695 240 LICENSE # 245249C

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 benefi cial. 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 fi ne 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’ fi ne... 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.

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!

Here’s what one satisfi ed 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

CEO’s from the Inner West had a taste of what it would be like to sleep as a homeless person last Th ursday at the annual CEO’s

Sleepout at the Carriageworks in Redfern.It was the eighth St Vinnies CEO

Sleepout. Th is year’s highest money earner for the sleepout was Best and Less CEO Holly Kramer, raising $148,000, with the funds going to the St Vinnies homeless services.

Ms Kramer said the money raised was due to the company’s customers and employees who generously contributed towards the cause.

St Vincent De Paul NSW CEO Michael Perusco who lives in Erskineville said the Sleepout was a reminder for executives of the important role business plays in reducing poverty.

“We are very grateful for this crucial support from corporate Australia. It tells us that there is a belief among Australia’s CEOs that homelessness and social inequality are issues that all of us have a responsibility to address,” he said.

Although the CEO Sleepout is designed to raise awareness of homelessness for Australia’s business elite, it is also a chance to lobby both sides of government for a commitment towards reducing homelessness.

A White Paper was created in 2008 which saw the Labor government under Kevin Rudd commit to a target for halving homelessness by 2020. Mr Perusco hoped

that commitment would continue irrespective of who was in government after the election in September.

“It is important to note that reducing

homelessness was never going to happen quickly. It’s a complex issue that takes time and over the last four years the foundations have been established to get

some really positive results…it will be devastating if [the government of the day] in September, Labor or the Coalition, walks away from the targets,” he said.

Member for Marrickville, Carmel Tebbutt, is encouraging community groups to apply for funding for local projects under the NSW Community Building Partnership program.

Community groups in Marrickville are eligible for a share of a pool of funding of $200,000 to help fund local projects.

“Th e program was a widely popular initiative of the former Labor Government and while I’m disappointed that overall funding has been reduced by the Coalition, local organisations can still benefi t from the funding available,” Ms Tebbutt said.

Applications can only be made online at www.communitybuildingpartnership.nsw.gov.au. Check the website for details of suitable projects.

Applications for funding will be open from June 19 and close on July 31.

Minister for Family and Community Services Pru Goward announced new incentives so more needy families can access public housing.

Th ere are over 17,000 large public housing homes in NSW with three or more bedrooms which are only occupied by singles or couples. Th is means there are over 35,000 vacant bedrooms that could be used to house needy families on the waiting list.

Th ere will be a new vacant bedroom charge on heavily subsidised public housing tenants if the tenants chose not to downsize their home.

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a signifi cant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a signifi cant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

Locations that start from July 2013Barwon region of Victoria ......... People aged 0-64Hunter region of NSW ................. People aged 0-64South Australia ........................... Children aged 0-14Tasmania ........................ Young people aged 15-24Locations that start from July 2014ACT ....................................................

Endeavour Energy issued a warning that a tingle from touching a tap in your home or a zap from an electrical appliance could indicate a problem that requires urgent attention. With more appliances being used during winter, ensure that you handle electrical appliances with care.

Th e end of the fi nancial year is nearly upon us, which means for most of us it is tax time. Don’t be caught unprepared for the tax season.

Make sure you visit the Australian Tax Offi ce website to see what changes have been made this fi nancial year.

It is tax time again Safety warning in winter

Pets get the chills too

With the winter temperatures this year hitting record lows, vets across the country are urging pet

owners to take particular care of their furry friends.

Dr David Neck from the Australian Veterinary Association said there were a number of things pet owners can do to keep their pets safe from the cold this winter.

“Make sure your pet has somewhere warm to sleep, free of drafts and protected from the elements. It’s best not to leave your pets outside when the temperature drops, especially if you have a dog with short hair, an old dog or puppies,” he said.

Dr Neck said pets, just like humans, can suff er from arthritis and this time of year it can be painful. Climbing stairs, standing or sitting might be a painful experience for them.

Dr Anne Fawcett, veterinarian from Sydney Animal Hospitals in Stanmore said there were a number of precautions for inner west residents to protect their pets from the freezing cold this winter.

“Comfortable pet bedding provides warmth and is gentle on the joints. A decent pet bed will last several years,” she said.

Dr Fawcett said the cold is a danger for pets of all kinds.

“Cold is a real issue for pets in the inner west – we tend to see a larger population of smaller pets, such as small breed dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, all with a large surface area compared to their body mass – so they lose heat easily. Dogs and cats tend to shiver. Rabbits and guinea pigs tend to suff er in silence and may die in the cold, especially if not provided with enough hay and insulation.

“Another issue in the inner west is fl ooding. A lot of people have small courtyards or poorly drained yards which means that outdoor pets can become easily saturated. Spending a whole day cold and wet is pretty miserable,” she said.

Dr Fawcett said pets who have ailments should be checked by a veterinarian for medical advice.

Keep your pets warm with a good bed.

Dancing was always in Johnny Campos’ blood. With Chilean heritage he had an inherent love of Chilean folklore, which

included dancing and performing.But it wasn’t until 2000 when Johnny

took his dancing to another level and specialised in Salsa. He took private lessons with Cuban Salsa instructors and quickly developed into a showman, gaining the name El Johnny.

Ten years later Johnny had become an accomplished dancer. In 2010 he represented Australia in his fi rst ever competition where he travelled to Germany with his dancers and came third in the Cubamemucho Rueda de Casino World Championship.

Since then he has taught and performed for Lationmotion Dance Academy, which is the home of six-time World Salsa Champion Oliver Pineda.

In 2012 he teamed up with Aimee Hartog who in her own right is a two-time Australian ice dancing champion.

She developed a love for Salsa and Bachata which allowed them to compete in the 2012 Australia Bachata championship where they’re currently ranked second.

“Transitioning from ice dancing to Salsa and Bachata wasn’t diffi cult. I had to do ballroom dancing which gave me the technical insight,” Aimee said.

Being champions doesn’t come without putting in the hard work and both

acknowledge that they put in the hours to get the results.

“In non competition periods we put in six hours a week. Leading into competition we practice between 10-12 hours a week,” Johnny said.

In 2013 Johnny and Aimee’s competition feats brought them success

when they entered the 4th Annual Australian Salsa Open in Sydney, and won the Latin Professional Division.

Th eir next challenge is in August when they enter the Australian Championships for NSW for Bachata. If they qualify, they will go to the national titles that will be held in Petersham on October 12.

Marrickville couple Aimee Hartog and partner Johnny Campos.

Last Friday, June 21, a number of local businesses were recognised for their hard work and contribution to the community at the 2013 Marrickville Business Achievement Awards.

With a number of categories and awards up for grabs, Serendipity Ice Cream took out the Made in Marrickville Award; Westpac Marrickville was given the Service to Business Award; and New Directions was given the Special Contribution Award.

A number of long service awards were also handed out on the night to the Newtown Jets, Marrickville Bowling and Recreation Club and ACME Case Co; who were all recognised at the Platinum Award level.

For more details on the evening, which was hailed as a huge success, see www.marrickvillebusiness.com.au.

Council’s Community Nursery have given away well over two thousand plants in the past year!

By the end of May, over 1,700 plants had been given to schools, childcare centres, community organisations, neighbourhood action groups like Th ornley Street Weeds Group, and residents who want to spruce up their courtyards, street verges and front gardens.

Th rough Council’s Sustainable Streets program, more than 500 plants were distributed to residents as part of the Sustainable Streets program (installation of verge gardens).

143ICD3263

It’s 60 years since Australian scientists with great minds and ‘roll-up-your-sleeves’ determination started to convert bushland on Sydney’s outskirts into one

of Australia’s most signifi cant science facilities, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).

And it’s 55 years since Sir Robert Menzies ‘fl icked the switch’ and turned on Australia’s fi rst nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights, which was replaced with a brand new reactor in 2007 and remains one of the most advanced, and safest of its kind in the world.

Today, nuclear medicine that originates

from the OPAL research reactor is widely used to diagnose heart disease, cancer, muscular and skeletal conditions. ANSTO distributes this nuclear medicine to more than 200 hospitals and medical centres around Australia every week, many of which are based in Sydney.

It’s estimated that one in two Australians will benefi t from the early and accurate diagnosis of diseases made possible through nuclear medicines at some point in their life-time.

Many broader benefi ts of ANSTO come from providing our climate scientists, biologists, materials scientists and the

wider Australian research community with access to some of the most advanced nuclear research instruments right here in Australia – enabling progress to be made in key areas such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease, and in exploring alternative ‘clean’ fuels.

ANSTO’s Chief Executive Offi cer, Dr Adi Paterson, said he was excited about ANSTO’s future in Sydney.

“ANSTO was developed with a great pioneering spirit, a thirst for new knowledge and a deeper understanding of the potential of nuclear science and technology,” said Dr Paterson.

“Today ANSTO enables environmental scientists, biologists, geneticists, material scientists and many others to use nuclear techniques to inform their research and deliver new insights that are helping to address some of the big issues of our time, particularly surrounding health and climate change.

“I certainly am very proud to be part of an organisation of some 1220 staff that is benefi ting the lives of all Australians, and applaud that group of Australian leaders back in 1953 and the many others over the years who have lead us to where we are today”.

Fascinating world: ANSTO provides an incredible insight into science

Th e focus is on your career and aspirations and the pressures

of a goal you’ve been working towards will intensify so get set to go that extra mile! A supportive colleague will be worth their weight in gold. Th e New Moon on the eighth indicates that your popularity will soar if you’re willing to listen to what others have to say and try to accommodate some of their wishes. Anything to do with your home is also to the fore.

Property and family issues will be playing a huge part in your

life, you may be in the throes of planning some renovations, a move or the purchase of an investment property. Opening up your home to friends and family will be rather enjoyable, perhaps you’re doing lots of entertaining or having people stay over. Th e New Moon on the eighth indicates that a job which has been on the drawing board for some time will all of a sudden take off !

With so much activity in your partnership sign you’ll be

looking good, feeling good and ready to explore new possibilities. You can fi nally push forward with all that is important to you, but that doesn’t mean you have carte blanche to be selfi sh. From here-on in you have a chance to be more in control of your emotions and your life. Th e New Moon on the eighth indicates that you are certainly going to be irresistible.

You are likely to be feeling very goal orientated and ambitious

to get to the top. You’re determined to be noticed, and you’ll do whatever you can to achieve your dreams. Trends at work will bring dynamic action and the New Moon on the eighth is the ideal time to sell your ideas as you will be at your most charming and disarming. Don’t underestimate yourself as you are more talented than you give yourself credit for.

Th e focus is on foreign aff airs, further education, legal

matters and personal beliefs, so all kinds of interesting developments in these areas are likely. Be open minded to new things and willing to learn at this time and you won’t regret it. Make yourself popular by being warm and friendly and showing just how personable you really are. Th e New Moon on the eighth indicates that you have a lust for adventure.

You have a rather hectic schedule this month which will

involve several short distance trips, returning heaps of emails and dealing with a non-stop ringing phone.

Th e New Moon on the eighth indicates that being productive and of service will make you feel good about yourself. Your powers of concentration are on top form and you’re able to easily switch off .

You need to draw on your intuition and instincts rather

Relationships receive a huge boost and they’ll benefi t in

more ways than one from the current planetary setup. Getting on with others especially those younger than you or who have a youthful outlook will be eff ortless.

month and special events for loved ones that mean the world to you will be reason to smile.

You can look forward to lots of good advice and support from

friends and acquaintances.

I was at a careers expo recently, talking about the Fitec courses and how to become a good trainer and I noticed something that was great to

see. As well as the school leavers coming up and asking about fi tness courses, many of the parents also asked about health or what courses they could do.

Some were professional people with full time jobs but they also wanted to know how they could either do a basic course to learn more about getting healthy themselves and some were keen to learn how to do some personal training with others.

What was not so good to notice was the doubt they had. Th e questions like, ‘but I’m a bit old’ or ‘am I fi t enough to get clients? I haven’t got a perfect body like the trainer on some TV show’. Th e answer I told them was to reverse the situation, what if they wanted a personal trainer themselves?

Say they go out and interview two trainers. One of them is 18-years-old with a perfect body, bleached blond hair, lives at the gym, eats anything she likes and stays looking perfect. Th e other trainer is a lot like them. She is maybe 40-something, had some kids, was overweight and knows how hard it is to lose it. She has had a full time job and found it hard to fi nd time for health. Both are nice people and seem

to know how to train someone. Which one would they choose?

Not surprisingly everyone I asked picked the one like themselves. Th e same is often true for the 18-year-old too. Every trainer appeals to diff erent clients. Th ere is no perfect picture of a trainer, and I have met a LOT of trainers, including the TV ones.

Th ere are many I would pick that have never been on a magazine cover if I wanted someone to train me. After all, if you have had kids then you have already been a trainer, although some parents are obviously unaware of this.

I think there is a lot of room for positive people to help others along with their health goals. Learn what you can and if someone asks, you can off er well informed advice. Just remember, you should practice what you preach!

Cast your doubts aside

This week Fiona Kane has written in to us with a column;

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard this line, I would be very wealthy by now! “Everything in moderation.” As a Clinical Nutritionist, every day people say this to me, especially at functions involving food, whilst tucking into the cheese or mud cake!

Most people are guilty of using this line which is really justifying our current behaviour! In my experience it means: “I am not prepared to change and what I already do is moderation, so I don’t need to change”. It is a way you get to keep doing what you are doing and not have to feel bad about it! Th at muffi n, bag of lollies, chocolate bar, donut or sugary drink you like to have every day is moderation, surely? Th ink again.

Th e word “everything” casts a very wide net; I don’t agree that “everything” is okay. For example sugar, how about type II diabetes, Alzheimer’s and even cancer? So I don’t agree that everything is okay to eat!

What is the defi nition of moderation anyway? It is “the avoidance of excess or extremes”. Who defi nes what is excessive or extreme? Did you know that a recent study of about 28,500 people over 15 years published in Diabetologia found that all it takes is one can of sugar-sweetened soda/soft drink per day to increase your risk of type II diabetes by 22 per cent?

Would you consider one can of soft drink a day to be extreme? In my experience, most people would not! Don’t think that diet soft drinks are any better, the chemicals in those can have many side-eff ects one of which is cravings for more sugar!

I suppose it is up to the individual. If you want to eat “everything in moderation”, think about what that really means. Are you happy, healthy and full of energy or are you struggling with your health, motivation and energy? Th is will give you a clue as to whether your defi nition of “moderation” is working for you!

Ultimately it is your choice, do you want health in moderation? Or do you want disease in moderation? I personally want health in abundance!

Fiona Kane, Clinical Nutritionist, www.informedhealth.com.au.

Everything in moderation, right?

C alling all ‘beliebers’ – the wait is over as teen singing sensation Justin Bieber is fi nally set to grace

our shores for his fi rst ever Aussie tour.The best-selling singer will be visiting

Australia at the end of this year, playing at Sydney’s Allphones Arena on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30.

After much anticipation from his Australian fans, Bieber will bring his ‘Believe’ tour to the country after wowing audiences at over 150 shows across the globe throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

The tour has been a labour of love for Bieber, who rehearsed for 10 hours per day over a period of two months.

The show has received rave reviews from both audiences and music critics alike who got caught up in the wave of Bieber fever.

And to give you just a taste of the atmosphere, the Hollywood Reporter wrote that: “Hundreds of thousands of shrieking fans, many donning homemade T-shirts, singing, crying, dancing and yes, wearing out their vocal cords with screams, turned the downtown LA arena into a virtual spaceship from another planet”.

Bieber fi rst shot to fame as a baby faced teen posting videos on YouTube and racking up over 10 million viewers by word of mouth.

His cover videos of pop songs by Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder brought Bieber to the attention of manager Scoot Braun, who then signed him.

He also earned a mentor in the form of musician Usher, and a record deal with

exclusive label Island Def Jam Records.Since then, Bieber has become one of

the world’s most recognisable pop icons, having won two Artist of the Year American Music Awards and sold 15 million albums worldwide.

His concerts are a larger-than-life

experience, with Bieber inspired by Michael Jackson’s phenomenal shows from the 80’s and 90’s and aiming to make you ‘believe in magic again’ with a spectacular show fi lled with lights, sound and pyrotechnics.

Justin Bieber will bring the ‘Believe’ tour

to Sydney’s Allphones Arena on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30. Tickets go on sale on Monday, July 1 at 10am.

For bookings or more information, call 132 849 or visit www.ticketek.com.au online.

J ames Gandolfi ni, who played one of the greatest TV characters of all time, died last week whilst on holiday in

Italy. Gandolfi ni played the infamous mob boss Tony Soprano in the hit television series ‘The Sopranos’. It’s believed the 51-year-old died after a possible heart attack. Gandolfi ni won three Emmy awards for his incredible portrayal, which spanned six memorable seasons. He will be missed.

‘Sunrise’ presenter Melissa Doyle has quit the hit breakfast program after 14 years. Doyle will be replaced by the very likable and sometimes playful Sam Armytage, who’s one of Channel Seven’s best talents. Even though I’m sure she’s a lovely person in real life, I never quite warmed to Doyle. I always thought she came across fake and annoying, so I’m very pleased she’s fi nally moving off my TV screen fi ve days a week.

Apparently she’s set to head up a new prime-time news program for Seven in the coming months.

Former ‘Packed to the Rafters’ star Hugh Sheridan is returning to Channel Seven to star in the highly anticipated mini-series ‘Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS’. Sheridan will play bass guitarist Garry Gary Beers.

It may have taken a while to fi nd its feet but ‘House Rules’ has done well for Seven. It all wraps up this Monday night at 7.30pm.

Also wrapping up after fi ve years on Nine is daytime panel show ‘The View’, which aired its fi nal episode today. Nine has decided not to renew its contract for the series which will be replaced by boring repeats of ‘Sea Patrol’.

Charlie Sheen has sacked his co-star Selma Blair from his unfunny series ‘Anger Management’. It’s understood Sheen and Blair didn’t see eye to eye, and Sheen basically told producers “if she doesn’t go, I will”.

Channel Seven has won the rights to air the 2013 Rugby League World Cup in October and November. Seven will screen every game of the 14 country tournament live on 7Mate. It will be interesting to see how Seven deliver rugby league after so many years on Nine and FOX. Although, it’s understood the BBC and Premier Sport will produce the coverage, meaning Seven’s involvement could be confi ned to a logo in the corner.

One of the greatest reality show contests of all time, ‘The Mole’, is returning

to Channel Seven next week. The new series hosted by Shura Taft will premiere this Tuesday, July 2 at 7.30pm. The show will then continue 7.30pm Wednesday and 8pm Thursday. ‘The Mole’ hasn’t aired since 2005, so expect many people tuning in for the fi rst few episodes.

The Australian version of the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ wrapped up this week with swimmer Stephanie Rice crowned winner. I very much enjoyed this year’s series although I was a little disappointed with the eventual winner. Rice was a good contestant but she was in no way the best. I like someone who grows on a reality series, someone that plays fair but hard. For me, the only person I thought deserved to win was Olympian John Steffensen, who was able to change a lot of people’s perceptions on him throughout the series.

School Holidays

Aerialize runs classes for children.

Running away with the circus is no longer just the stuff of childhood whimsy! You can run away (even if just for an

hour or two) at Aerialize: Sydney’s premier circus and aerial arts training facility.

Moving into Canterbury after 13 years in Marrickville, Aerialize off ers classes to people of all ages and all walks of life.

Have a go at acrobatics, trapeze, tissu, hula hooping and more!

“People are discovering that circus arts are really accessible,” says Business Manager Tara Clark.

“It’s great exercise for kids and adults alike, and way more exciting than traditional weekend sport or the gym.”

Aerialize’s School Holiday Program is a favourite of parents who bring their kids down for weekly classes, or who take classes themselves. Running for 5 days, the program ends with a showing for friends and family which, as Tara says, “is always a highlight for the kids, and for their very proud parents”.

All of Aerialize’s classes can be found on their website, www.aerialize.com.au.

The next-generation sedan version of the world’s and Australia’s best-selling car, Toyota Corolla, has been revealed.

A Corolla sedan exhibiting European style was unveiled in Istanbul, Turkey, while another sedan, with a markedly diff erent frontal design, debuted in Santa Monica, California.

Th e European version is destined to be sold in most Corolla markets around the world while the alternative treatment is targeted mainly at buyers in the United States.

Toyota Australia confi rmed that the European car is closer in appearance to the model that will be launched in Australia during the fi rst half of 2014.

Global reveals of the new sedan coincide with the release of sales fi gures that confi rm Corolla is the best-selling car in Australia so far this year.

Cumulative worldwide Corolla sales exceed 39.7 million since the nameplate was launched in 1966, including more than 1.2 million in Australia – approximately one out of every fi ve Toyota vehicles ever sold in this country.

Along with the hatch launched in Australia late last year, the new sedan is the 11th generation Corolla.

Toyota’s next-generation Corolla sedan features an all-new exterior design with clean lines and balanced proportions that impart a more sophisticated and contemporary look.

Corolla sedan’s all-new interior design off ers customers a signifi cantly roomier and quieter cabin.

Students returning to school after having cancer treatment are at risk of their educational standards falling.

Th e Inner West is being asked to help support students with cancer on Friday, September 6 for Footy Colours Day.

Footy code ambassadors Swans co-captain Kieran Jack, Sydney FC’s Adam Griffi ths and the Wests Tigers’ Adam Blair have teamed up to support Footy Colours Day 2013.

Th e aim of the initiative is to have fun on the day and help support young people through their plight.

Each year Australians unite and wear their favourite footy colours and make a donation to give young Australians living with cancer a brighter future through the Fight Cancer Back on Track education program.

Football is about ‘spirit, strength and courage and the fi ght to win’. Th e Fight Cancer Back on Track education program will help reduce the impact and disruption cancer has on a young person’s life by helping them to stay connected with their schools and friends and help them to reach their full potential.

Th e Fight Cancer Foundation encourages everybody to get into the spirit of Footy Colours Day by wearing their favourite team’s colours and having a casual day. People in the workplace can organise a morning tea, a lunch or just decorate the offi ce or classroom.

Teeming rain wasn’t enough to deter the Cronulla Sharks from defeating the Newtown Jets in a close encounter 18-16 at Henson Park last

Saturday.Th e Jets through prop Saulala Houma put

in a barnstorming eff ort to be the fi rst to score in the match.

However attack quickly turned to defence when an onslaught began from the highly fancied Sharks.

Th at defensive eff ort continued for the Jets who kept the Sharks scoreless for most of the fi rst half.

Th e Sharks’ fi rst try came late in the half with the conversion successful from French international Tony Gigot from the sideline in diffi cult conditions.

Newtown hit back in the 39th minute when second-rower Brad Barrett scored out wide and it was converted by Chris Taripo from the sideline.

Fifteen minutes into the second half the Sharks continued their domination in attack scoring two converted tries.

Th e remainder of the second half was a fi erce struggle between two tough and determined teams playing in deteriorating conditions.

Th e Sharks began to assert their authority and increasingly made a strong case for why

they are undefeated competition leaders. Th e Jets were relentless in attack in the

fi nal minutes of the match and with fi ve minutes left to play, Jets captain Tinirau Arona scored. Th e conversion attempt from Chris Taripo was unsuccessful with the Jets

being defeated at the death, the Sharks winning 18-16.

Th e Jets travel to Sydney’s South West when they take on Mounties at Mt Pritchard Oval next Saturday at 3pm. Kick-off is at 3pm sharp.
