All set for

heritage
weekend
BY DERRICK KRUSCHE

RENOWNED historian Geoffrey Blainey will

return to Ballarat to kick off this year’s her-
itage weekend over May 27-28, which is set
to draw big names to our city celebrating all
things history.
The announcement comes after Ballarat
City Council unveiled a new television adver-
tisement with film noir influences to spruik
the event this month.
Highlights will include a 1950s fashion
show from Charlotte Smith with celebrity
guests such as author Tara Moss, news pre-
senter Jacinta Tynan and singer-songwriter
Emma Birdsall.
Mayor Samantha McIntosh called on all
residents and visitors to explore and cele-
brate Ballarat’s mysterious past in a jam-
packed weekend full of activities and enter-
tainment to boot.
Cr McIntosh said a new date of May 27-
28 had been chosen over Mother’s Day as
that holiday was already well-booked and it
would attract extra crowds.

Axe falls on Ironman race

BY JEREMY VENOSTA
BALLARAT’S Ironman event will be can-
celled after organisers decided it could no
longer continue following the loss of major
financial support.
Ballarat City Council ended its sponsor-
ship of the event on Tuesday afternoon after
it voted to delegate power to renegotiate the
Ironman contract to chief executive Justine
Linley on February 22.
The decision was made during the closed
section of the meeting.
Ballarat mayor Samantha McIntosh said
she backed the decision because councillors
were elected to be financially responsible.
“Ironman has been an exceptionally suc-
cessful event for Ballarat in the way it has
been delivered, but there has been a ques-
tion on the financial return,” she said.
“We were elected on the basis of being fi-

nancially prudent.
“Events like Ballarat’s White Night have
been an exceptional delivery and had a huge
economic return to our city, but we have for
instance a 1000 participants in Ironman, and
not the degree of community participation
we would have loved to have seen.”
Council refused to reveal how much it
spent on the competition each year.
The event drew up to 1000 participants to
the city each year since it started in 2014.
Ironman managing director Dave Beeche
said the event could not continue without
the support of council.
“Host city support is a key component of
attracting an international branded event
and without this support we are in an unfor-
tunate position where we cannot move for-
ward with the Ballarat event into the future,”
he said.
Visit Ballarat managed stakeholders and
day to day marketing for the event.
The group’s chief executive Noel Dempsey
said the event was a professionally run event
that would need to run for a long to time se-
cure a return for Ballarat.
“We reviewed the event and gave council
feedback,” he said.
“We said it is a professionally run event, we
have had it for three years, if you want to grow
it then you have to run it for a long period
time to get the yields.
“We have three years of event numbers
for that.”
Mr Dempsey said numbers from three
years of the event showed a slight decline
in benefits.
“The numbers were flat over the three
years,” he said.
“Being fair to council they are in a chal-
lenging period.
“With them we are looking at a long term
events strategy and in the current environ-
ment, economically is it the right event?”
Cr McIntosh said the amount paid to the
event each year was commercial-in-confi-
dence and could not be disclosed.

Rail cash remains unclear

Government budget
to reveal funding

‘‘
BY JEREMY VENOSTA

THE Ballarat community

remains in the dark on how
a potential $1.45 billion in-
vestment in rail services will
be funded by the state and
federal governments.
Despite both governments
confirming there were talks
about the money, the federal
government has refused to
confirm the allocation will
be made.
The Victorian government
has allocated the cash, in-
cluding $39 million for signal
upgrades to Ararat and Ma-
ryborough, as part of the next
state budget.
But it is relying on a 15
per cent bonus from the
federal government from
the $9.7 billion Port of Mel-
bourne lease.
Western Victoria MP Jaala
Pulford said there would be
the capacity for more trains
to stay overnight in Ara-
rat, increasing services the
next day.
“I think they are playing a
few games with their budget
a little over a week away,”
she said. “There has been

New GPs ‘incredibly difficult’ to recruit

AN “ABSURD maldistribu-
tion” of GPs has dudded re-
gional centres, where medi-
cal centres struggle to recruit
new doctors, UFS Dispensa-
ries chief executive officer
Lynne McLennan said.
A new University of Mel-
bourne study has revealed
there is now only one new
GP for every 10 specialists.
UFS closed its Bun-
inyong medical centre last
year following a fruitless,
18-month search for an
Australian-trained doctor to
replace the centre’s outgoing
GP. Ballarat no longer qual-
ifies for the work shortage
visa which allowed medical
centres to hire overseas
trained doctors.
“Ballarat has an adequate
supply of GPs however it re-
mains incredibly difficult to
recruit new GPs to replace a
doctor who is planning to re-
tire from practice, and there
is still an absurd maldistri-
bution of the GP workforce
between rural and metro
areas,” Ms McLennan said.
The study said GPs are
facing increasing pressure
under the Medicare rebate
freeze, which is set to contin-
ue until 2020.
Ms McLennan said the
freeze, which will see GPs
receiving the same rebate in
2020 as they did in 2014, was
dissuading medical gradu-
ates from entering into gen-
eral practice.
“The long-promised flood
of new Australian-trained
graduates to rural and re-
gional areas is as yet only a
tiny trickle, and it’s not sur-
prising that increasing num-
bers of young medical school
graduates are choosing
specialisation over general
practice.
“The Commonwealth
Government’s freeze on
Medicare rebates has re-
duced GP incomes as the ex-
penses of running a medical
practice continue to rise.”
The report also recorded
a drop in the number of GPs
who own their own practice,
suggesting a rise in corporate
ownership.

Major facelift set for BSC

Gov pledges $9m
across campuses
BY BRENDAN WRIGLEY
BALLARAT Secondary Col-
lege’s two campuses are both
set to undergo a major facelift
after the state government
announced $9 million in
funding would be included
in Tuesday’s 2017/18 budget.
BSC’s Mount Rowan cam-
pus will receive $6 million of
the funding which will result
in the development of a new
building for science, tech-
nology, arts and maths, while
classrooms across the cam-
pus will also be upgraded.
The campus will also re-
ceive a new food technology
space, while significant land-
scaping works
BSC principal Rick Ger-
vasoni said while the school
had previously been ne-
glected, the upgrades would
instill a new sense of pride in
students and staff alike.
“The feeling was (the com-
munity) thought there hadn’t
been as much funding going
towards keeping the facilities
up to date compared to some
of the other schools, but
that’s changed and that’s re-
ally exciting,” Mr Gervasoni
said.
The $3 million allocated
to the Woodman’s Hill cam-
pus will be put towards the
redevelopment of the 1950s
technology and arts building
as well as refurbishing ad-
ministration spaces.
Tuesday’s funding will
bring the state government’s
overall investment in the
college to $18 million, after
$9 million was pledged to the
two campuses in the previ-
ous two budgets.
The school has just com-
pleted a major structural
transformation with the ab-
olition of the year 12 Barkly
Street campus and the inclu-
sion of full VCE studies at the
two remaining campuses.
Mr Gervasoni said the
investment would play an
important role in allowing to
school to redefine itself.
“They will have access to
state of the art classrooms
and technology, and it al-
lows our teachers to take
advantage of all of the latest
resources and techniques,”
Mr Gervasoni said.

dents aren't disavantaged HUGE BOOST: Martin Mendoze, 17, Wendouree MP Sharon Knight, Emma Graham, 17, Buninyong MP Geoff Howard

Young workers schooled in legal rights

THE Young Workers Centre
will school 550 Central High-
lands students in their rights
at work this week with pres-
entations covering bullying
and discrimination, award
wages and health and safety.
“I think young people
unfortunately can be taken
advantage of in the work-
place, it’s not easy to get a job
as a young person and often
young people will stay in jobs
where they are not treated in
the way they are entitled to
be treated,” Highlands LLEN
placement coordinator Asha
Buckmaster said.
“(Workers’ rights) is not
something that is known
about in lots of forums, it’s
not part of a school subject
you take, it’s not necessar-
ily something your parents
would know so young people
having the tools they need to
make sure they are in a safe
and supportive workplace is
really important.”
The project was developed
at the behest of VCAL teach-
ers, who wanted to improve
their students’ knowledge of
their rights in the workplace.
Earlier this year Ballarat
lawyer Orry Pilven told an
inquiry into worker exploita-
tion that young workers in
particular struggled to chal-
lenge their employers. Mr
Pilven took on a young work-
ers’ case pro-bono to secure
an estimated $27,000 in
unpaid wages last year. The
young chef was fired after
complaining to her employer
about unpaid overtime.
“The first question I get is,
'Won't my employer dispar-
age me to others and I'll nev-
er work again in Ballarat?'
That is the threat that is often
made, particularly within
an industry,” Mr Pilven told
the inquiry.
“The other problem, par-
ticularly with young or dis-
advantaged workers, is that
they often do not have the
resources to pursue matters.
Obviously, well-resourced
employers who are repre-
sented by their industry
groups know this, and they
use this to their advantage.”

BRAZEN: CCTV captured

Gang of
youths
break
into cars
A GROUP of young offend-
ers, one armed with a meat
cleaver, broke into at least
10 cars during a crime spree
spanning numerous suburbs
in late April.
Senior Constable Simon
Kirk said a group of youths
were captured on video
travelling down streets in
Alfredton, Delacombe and
Sebastopol attempting to
open car doors.
Senior Constable Kirk said
the opportunistic offenders
opened the doors of at least
10 cars, believed to be un-
locked, between April 22 and
24. Police believe a young
driver of a dark coloured
hatchback with no head-
lights on drove the group to
various streets. The young
people got out of the car and
stole anything they could
from the cars.
One of the offenders was
captured on CCTV wearing
distinctive clothing includ-
ing a Von Zipper cap, two
toned T-shirt, white shoes
with a black strip on the rear
containing a reflective strip.
The same male also wore
glasses, a headlamp and on

Paramedics were called to

a review into the distribu-
tion of the consumption
tax.
“We have initiated a

Tasmanian Premier Will
Hodgman has vowed to

serves its fair share.
Senator Cormann, who
hails from Western Austral-
ia, says the federal govern-
ment had long acknowl-
edged his home state’s
slice of GST revenues was
unacceptably low, and top-
up payments offered to
Perth in recent years were
a short-term fix.
“We always were of the
view there is a need for
medium to long-term re-
form,” he said.
Treasurer Scott Morri-
son said there were plenty
of parochial arguments
about GST distribution,
but it was his job to take a
national view.
“We need to know the
answer to that question: is
this negatively or positive-
ly affecting our national

home buyers, insists Treas-
urer Scott Morrison.
Mr Morrison is putting

the budget will be a pack-
age of measures to deal

lic housing.
Speaking to reporters in

treasurer underlined the
broad scope of what would
be presented in the budget.
“I know that so much of
the commentary and the
analysis of the issue focus-

research shows the “sand-

ing squeezed financially by
their children and parents.
The survey of 1048 Aus-
tralians aged over 35 found
one in four expected to re-
tire with credit card debt,
one in five with a mortgage
and one in 10 with unpaid
bills after helping children
with tuition fees, home de-
posits and other expenses.
The Journey Begins re-
port also showed those
surveyed are providing fi-
nancial assistance to their
parents, with 14 per cent
helping to fund medical or
health expenses.
The findings show of the
$507 billion cost of sup-
port provided by Austral-

payments for children’s or
grandchildren’s education.
Everyday expenses
made up the next big-
gest chunk of support at

$68.5 billion was forked out

REST CEO Damian Hill

retiring on is of concern,
with the pressures of hous-
ing and education costs
particularly hitting home

INSIGHT
Four ways to
tell if you've
finally made it
to adulthood
I
'VE just turned 27 and finally become
a grown-up – according to my fellow
millennials, at least. It is the official
age at which twenty-somethings now
see themselves as “proper adults”, a survey
found last week – news that will no doubt
have older generations, who were mostly
married with children and a mortgage by
that age, wringing their hands.
All this would make my birthday daunt-
ing, if it wasn't for the fact I already feel
like an adult. Unlike many of my peers,
I've felt this way for the past few years. I'm
by no means married with children, yet I
have faced enough failures, successes and
challenges to force me into some sort of ma-
turity. For Generation Y, being an adult does
not necessarily mean ticking off traditional
“life goals”, like planning your career, settling
down with a long-term partner or buying a
property. Nor does it entail vowing never to
step foot in a club again.
The markers of adulthood are no longer
what they used to be. These are the signs
you're really a grown-up:
1. Love life strife. Nothing forces you to
grow up more than ending a serious rela-
tionship, especially when done amicably.
2. Looking after number one. Having a
massage isn't always a sign of decadence,
and nor is ordering a meal in at the end of a
long day. There's no shame asking for help.
3. Parting with your smartphone. We're all
so addicted to the highs of racking up “likes”
on Instagram that being able to disconnect
is now a true sign of maturity. My current
record is six hours.
4. Failing well. We're dubbed the “snow-
flake generation” who can't take the heat,
but most of the time our so-called failures
are simply a case of not meeting our own
high expectations. The biggest lesson I've
learnt in my 20s is knowing when to try
again after something goes awry, and man-
aging my expectations so those “failures” do,
in the long-run, become successes.

Regions need more
than thin pork slices
S
URELY a decentralisation plan would
help regional towns? If the Turnbull
government had a considered plan,
the answer could be “yes”. But it
doesn’t, and the Abbott and Turnbull gov-
ernments have cut more jobs in the regions
in our regional Centrelink, tax and other
government offices than they have created.
Given the debacle Barnaby Joyce's
pork-barrel relocation of the Australian
Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Author-
ity has become, one might have expected a
retreat. But Nationals senator Fiona Nash
soldiered on during a recent press club
speech, declaring full-scale war on our
national capital and its public servants.
That was just after telling her audience
that regional Australia was already a better
place to live and work, and just before
blaming the media for not promoting that
obvious fact. Just in case assembled journal-
ists doubted her claim, she went on to point
out that unemployment was lower in the
bush and “overall, the story is very positive”.
Nash then declared that, if you live in
the regions, “you can send the kids to the
neighbour's for half an hour while you go to
see the doctor”, implying that is not possible
in our capital cities. And “when you return

to work a couple of days a week, your sister-
in-law or parents look after your kids”.
Nash's enthusiasm and mixed-messaging
was too much even for Joyce, who held a
press conference less than 24 hours after her
speech to try to limit the damage. Unfortu-
nately, he only added to the confusion by
declaring a minority of public servants safe,
leaving a majority free to start worrying.
Nash and Joyce say their threat to move
departments that can't justify staying in our
capital cities has been endorsed by cabinet,
but Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is yet
to comment.
Beyond Armidale in his own electorate,
Joyce has not nominated any destinations
for these yet-to be-determined departments
and agencies. However, the unusual “policy

Decentralisation can be good if it is
properly planned and the effectiveness of
the entity moved is not undermined in the
process. The relocation of the pesticides
authority ticks none of those boxes. Indeed,
the government's own cost-benefit analysis
says so. But that's all right: Joyce declared
this no longer matters.
The official cost of the authority's relo-
cation is $26 million, but we know it to be
closer to $60 million. Imagine how many
teachers and skillstraining opportunities
that could fund in the regional communities
that need the extra resources the most.
That's a key point. The nature of employ-
ment is changing and, increasingly, higher
levels of education and training will be
needed to secure and keep a job. As well as
telecommunications and strategic transport
infrastructure, fully funding the Gonski
needs-based school reforms is the best thing
the Turnbull government could do for rural
and regional Australia.
The alternative is more Centrelink offices
in rural and regional towns already suffering
double-digit unemployment rates. That's the
real tragedy of Joyce's pork-barrelling.

culture and regional Australia spokesman.

OPINION

EDITORIAL
Vast plans topple into myopic squabbles
T
HE Courier has maintained at
many points that the big infrastruc-
ture spends needed to bridge the
shocking lag between plans and
the demands of growth require more than
a little cooperation. This means a bipar-
tisan support from both sides of politics
so that key projects whose planning and
execution lies far beyond any single term of
government or parties hold on power can be
pursued for the good of the nation.
Likewise this bipartisanship must be
extended between the states and the federal
government most particularly because in the
century since the constitution of federation
was written , the federal government has
taken control of the lions share of revenue
but many infrastructure projects are left to
the direction of states. This is particularly
obvious when it comes to costly rail infra-
structure and a bizarre reluctance for the
federal government to fund passenger rail
But the signs are not good that this is
anything like a federation, let alone cooper-
ation, when it comes to the squabbles over
money at budget time. The latest stoush
centres around the funds from the sale of
the Port of Melbourne where Victoria has
already factored $1.45 billion of federal cash
into its major regional rail upgrades.
The problem is the funds for a regional re-
vival, spread from Gippsland to bendigo and
even looking to revive the Maryborough and
Ararat services, is dependent on a funding
source over which there has been little or no
conclusive agreement. The background is
that the Victorian government believes the
money is part of an agreement where the
federal Government was supposed to return
to the States 15 per cent of any public assets
sold for investment in infrastructure.
Last September Victoria sold the Port of
Melbourne lease for $9.7 billion deal but the
federal government said it would provide
$877 million – almost $600 million less than
the $1.45 billion Victoria has claimed.
State Treasurer Tim Pallas confirmed on
Monday the $1.45 billion Victoria is owed
has been factored into the budget and worse
even threatened to dump the rail project if
the federal government reneges on the deal.
While it has been reasonably argued that
Victoria is continuously shortchanged on
the federal infrastructure spend compared
to revenue, this petulant “toss the whole
board game into the air” is hardly the model
of the kind of vision we need to fill some
of the biggest gaps we have. A sour note to
launch a budget on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS

BUS WIN FOR PRECINCT A STEP
TOWARD POTENTIAL
The Ballarat Railway Station precinct
has the potential to be both a world class
heritage icon and an effective transport hub
for decades to come. The State Govern-
ment's commitment to a new bus terminal
(The Courier 29 April) is likely to alleviate
some Lydiard Street congestion concerns
in the shorter term but longer term issues
remain; namely selling off a substantial
portion of the land for private development
in the face of significant projected growth in
both population and public transport use.
Progressive loss of heritage infrastructure al-
so seems likely in the absence of a cohesive
heritage management plan. Hopefully our
State Government representatives and other
leaders will continue to advocate for im-
provements to the Ballarat Railway Station
precinct plans - otherwise Ballarat's future
liveability and amenity will be impacted.
Barbara Cytowicz, Golden Point
REAL AS OPPOSED TO
IMAGINED THREATS
The persistence of the myth that thou-
sands have been displaced by wind farms
is perplexing. The fact that it is a mistruth
is disclosed in the manner that it is con-
veyed. It is always offered by a third-party
expressing sympathy for those affected,
rather than by the alleged individuals
themselves who seem strangely mute. By
way of contrast, in 2013 the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Develop-
ment, based in Paris, warned that as many
as 3.6 million people could end up dying
prematurely from air pollution each year,
of which approximately 40% is attributable
to particulates from burning coal, mostly in
China and India. Millions die horribly due
to the continued burning of coal for energy,
while anti-Greens ideologues exploit the
sensitivity of an elusive few to keep us all in
the dark ages.
Pat Hockey, Clunes
While the inclusion of funding for the bus hub will ease Lydiard Street congestion
concerns remain about its overall potential
THE FAULT IS IN OURSELVES
Social media fans can, and do, watch
murders, suicides and rapes live. Facebook
CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, concedes that his
video-streaming service caters for "the most
personal and emotional and raw and viscer-
al" communication. YouTube and Twitter
appeal to similar instincts. Top political
science commentator, Dr Jennifer Oriel,
said she wont use Twitter because it is in
the main "a brutal medium". She's right not
to use it. So should we all not. At least not
until everybody starts loving their neighbour
as it says in the bible. Inadequate filtering
technologies certainly aren't the problem.
We are the problem.
Arnold Jago, Nichols Point
A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION
Ballarat City Council have taken the
forward thinking step of committing to
planning to become carbon neutral and
100% powered by renewables by 2025. This
transformation to 100% renewable energy
and carbon neutrality is in line with progress
and achievements made by many other
cities around the world.
Rapid change is doable. We have all
seen this sort of change occur along with
exponential growth rates in technologies
like mobile phones and digital cameras.
We know the A.C.T. is on track to be 100%
Renewable powered by 2020. It's a progres-
sive move and it gives us hope for our future
health and security.
Sandra Hawkins, Canadian
Our prime minister is making a big deal
about bringing in skilled workers to do
work which Australians could be doing.
Australian jobs for Australians is his call.
I agree with that thinking, but what about
the Australian jobs which we send off to
India and the Philippines such as telstra call
centres and pathology tests, and the power
companies' call centres? Bring them back
and we can talk to people we can under-
stand. That's a challenge to our parliament
and prime minister.
Don Woodward, Brown Hill.
EASY TO RECOGNISE, TOUGH
TO ACT UPON
Canberra recognise open ended nega-
tive gearing unnaturally inflates house
prices and rentals.Their dilemma, how to
address it?
Negative gearing was introduced to
supplement retirement incomes, reducing
welfare dependency. Greed & continuous
low interest rates contribute to housing
investment proliferation.
Government claims supply & demand are
the culprits, ignoring the distorted playing
field affect which prohibits first home
buyer’s entry from consequences such
as, static wages growth, reduced penalty
rates, job insecurity, substandard working
conditions and underemployment.
On retirement, well-being often prevents
us from sustaining aged 50s lifestyles,
necessitating less income.
A fairer solution, would be apply negative
gearing only to new residences, generating
jobs and growth.
As considerable taxpayer funds are
required these asset(s) should only apply
to legitimate tax paying Australian resi-
dents.Total gross asset value to be set at a
current rate adequate on retirement to no
more than 4 times the current Centrelink
couples pension indexed annually for 25
years at the cash pension increase rate,
after which it becomes treated as an asset
by the ATO unless sold or ownership
changes prior.
Commercial property, negatively geared
should have similar limitations but stand
independently from residential property
with similar time and legitimate taxation
restrictions.
Unoccupied property should attract a
deeming rate applicable to average rentals
within the zone.

Pride in Koori art trail
BY MELANIE WHELAN
LANGI Kal Kal prison is set
to extend its Indigenous
art program into the Beau-
fort community.
The prison is partnering
with Pyrenees Shire Coun-
cil to create a Koori art trail
around Beaufort Lake.
This will build on an estab-
lished art trail in the prison
grounds in a bid for the pub-
lic to better appreciate Koori
art and traditions, predomi-
nantly by talking about it.
Langi Kal Kal prison gen-
eral manager Scott Jacques
said the the initial project
had aimed to improve aes-
thetics about the prison, and
the trail concept helped pro-
mote physical activity.
“Guys were remembering
things they did as children,
like yabbying...it was also a
chance to get back in touch
with their tradition and cul-
ture,” Mr Jacques said.
“When the art trail for-
mally opened, the guys got
a lot out of it. Part of this
was openly describing their
art and their stories. It really
helped with confidence and
building self-worth.
“All cohorts were asking
GLIMPSE: Part of a piece on the Koori art trail in Langi Kal Kal, which has inspired a new Koori Arts Trail, in the nearby
Beaufort community, to be developed about Beaufort Lake.
about it. It helped build a
much more inclusive com-
munity in the prison.”
Mr Jacques said some
prisoners involved in the
project discovered a talent
and importantly, found satis-
faction in the 18 works being
a permanent fixture.
The Beaufort project will
involve some different Koori
prisoners, as some had move
on, which Mr Jacques said
would increase benefits. Ul-
timately, he said the prison
hoped to keep working with
nearby communities, like
Ballarat, on trail-like projects
to help more people appreci-
ate Koori culture.
The initial project took
about eight months to
source the right materials for
works, which were painted
directly on to metal sheets,
then lacquered to protect
against weather.
Langi Kal Kal started in-
volving a few Koori prison-
ers, but Mr Jacques said the
whole prison community
quickly got on board.
Pyrenees Shire Council
will work with the prison to
establish exact locations for
the Beaufort Lake trail.
Council chief executive
officer Jim Nolan said the
council looked forward to
developing the trail and
involving the local arts com-
munity, including Pyrenees
Arts Council.
“The artwork is exquisite,
and it shows how much ef-
fort the prisoners have put
in to expressing their culture
and heritage,” Mr Nolan said.

IN BRIEF
SHOE RETAILER RCG CUTS
ITS EARNINGS FORECAST
THE Athlete’s Foot owner
RCG has cut its annual
earnings forecast and has
blamed a widespread
sell-down of retail stocks
for a significant drop in
its share price.
The shoe retailer said
housing market concerns,
subdued wage growth
and the pending arrival
of Amazon had made
investors nervous about
the retail sector.
RCG expected earnings
before interest, taxes,
depreciation and
amortisation to be in the
range of $74 million to
$80 million for 2016-17,
down from its February
guidance of $85 million to
$88 million. The company
attributed the downgrade
to softer shoe sales,
including flat like-for-like
sales during March and
April for its Accent and
Hype businesses, and
flat like-for-like sales for
the year to date at The
Athlete’s Foot.
WATCHDOG SAYS RAMSAY
HEALTH ANTI-COMPETITIVE
THE consumer watchdog
has started Federal Court
action against Ramsay
Health Care, alleging
that the private hospitals
operator engaged in anti-
competitive conduct in
Coffs Harbour.
The Australian
Competition and
Consumer Commission
has alleged that Ramsay
threatened to block some
surgeons’ access to
operating theatres at its
Baringa Private Hospital
and Coffs Harbour Day
Surgery if they proceeded
with plans to establish a
competing Coffs Harbour
day surgery.
Ramsay Health said it
took its obligations under
competition law seriously
and had co-operated with
the ACCC.
“Ramsay intends to
vigorously defend the
matter,” it said.
Shares in Ramsay
Health Care fell 1.39 per
cent, or $1, to $70.70.
OUTLOOK THE KEY AS ANZ
STARTS EARNINGS SEASON
ANZ will kick off what
is expected to be a solid
round of bank earnings
over the next week, with
investors eager for clues
on how long the blue
skies over the sector
can last.
ANZ is tipped to unveil
a first-half cash profit of
about $3.79 billion – up
more than 30 per cent on
last year’s writedown-
heavy $2.8 billion
– thanks to a strong
performance by its retail
unit, tight cost control
and a sharp drop in
bad and doubtful debt
charges already flagged
in its first-quarter trading
update.
NAB and Westpac
are also expected to
announce larger profits
over the coming days
but, with financial stocks
having gained more than
20 per cent in the past
six months, the market
appears to have already
priced that in.

Andrew Amor set the pace in the 5km Buninyong Winery
event crossing the line in a race time of 16m.46s. in clearing
conditions in the combined Wendouree and Eureka Athletic
Clubs 2 km and 5 km cross country event. This was well
supported by 58 athletes in what appeared to be a wet event
until conditions cleared and the only moisture was underfoot.
Both the 2 km and 5 km events started simultaneously with
2 different turn around points with Micheal Bleicher setting
the fastest time for the 2k event in 8m.56s Lackie Hawkes
9m.22s and Dayne Schnyder 9m.26s. On handicap the event
went to Bailey Davis in 9m.57s with a handicap of 5m.06s.
from Mikey Bleicher in 8m.56s. and a handicap of 3m.58s with
Zoe Schnyder finishing in 3rd place in a time of 9m.45s. and a
handicap of 4m.46s.
With Andrew Amor being a clear winner he was followed
home by Harry Sharp in 17m.21s and Justin Bleicher in
17m.43s. who all found their handicaps close a little hard to
overcome and these runners being all under 18 and 16 years
of age. First senior to finish was Grant Gilbert in 18m.49s just
2 places ahead of u/16 year daughter Lily Gilbert who was the
first female home in 19m.33s ahead of Michelle Hawkes in
20m.17s. and T Whittle 23m.05s.
On handicap the winners were Mal Johnstone in 19m.37s with
a handicap of 6m.05s with Annabel Brennan 2nd in a time of
23m.47s and a handicap of 13m.38s and Rex Flemming 3rd in
21m.14s and a handicap of 7m.32s. Others that competed well
were Matthew Catterson 18m.09s Josh Hawkes 18m.21s. and
Micah Poole 18m.40s

BALLARAT ROPE QUOITS ASSOCIATION
HOME AND AWAY 26/04/2017
In this week games, Nuggets hit form only being 1 quoit short
in 6 rounds, with Dale Robertson throwing a limit of 40 in the
first six rounds to be on a possible throw, in the last round
with a throw of 13 he unfortunately missed his possible. Their
opponents Cruisers, yet to record a win, were very unlucky
to come up against Nuggets in such red-hot form and would
have beaten any other side on the night. In the other games,
BBC got back to winning ways in a close game with Sebas
and Invermay had an easy victory over VRI both game went
to 9 rounds.
Next week will see the completion of the first round of the
home and away season and at this stage BBC, Invermay and
Nuggets have broken away from the other 3 sides with 8
points between 3rd and 4th.
Nuggets 1031 8pts d Cruisers 977 2pts in 7rds

GREATER Western Sydney
will strongly consider chal-
lenging the classification of
Toby Greene’s two-match
suspension at the AFL
tribunal.
Greene was offered the
ban by the match review
panel on Monday after he
was reported for striking
Western Bulldogs’ midfield-
er Caleb Daniel during the
Giants’ two-point win in
Canberra on Friday night.
Daniel left the field in
the third quarter at Ma-

Greene caught him high
with a round-arm left fist.
The MRP assessed the
incident as intentional
conduct with medium im-

Greene is able to avoid
a three-game ban with an

A field umpire’s com-

extra layer of intrigue as
tle first before potentially
testing the market.
“Stride Sports Manage-

the rumour circulating to-
day that Nat Fyfe has for-
mally or informally agreed

ADELAIDE coach Don

Even the notoriously
guarded Crows coach is im-

But he’s cautioning
against reading too much
into his free-scoring side’s
six consecutive wins to
start the season.
“We are happy with

trouncing Richmond by 76

“But we know there is
a long way to go. And we
know there is areas indi-

have to get better at.”
The Crows are the sole
unbeaten side in the league
and have kicked 100 or

And Pyke said it was sim-

“They understand it.

“It’s a relationship be-

Huggett described the

OBITUARY
FRIENDS and family are
mourning the passing of
well-known waterskier and
passionate Sebastopol Foot-
ball Netball Club supporter
Peter Taylor.
Taylor died on Saturday
after a battle with cancer,
leaving behind wife Janine,
children Brett, Michael and
Kristy and grandson Tate.
He was 56-years-old.
ON TRACK: For the round two state event, the riders will utilise the bitumen roads,
grass areas and sheds at the Ballarat Showgrounds.
Janine said her husband
put up a huge fight after he
was diagnosed with cancer
in August last year.
“He fought it all the way.
He was so brave,” she said.
Janine said Peter was ad-
mired throughout the water-
skiing fraternity and traveled
the world for the sport, mak-
ing many friends.
“He was passionate about
his skiing and his family,”
she said.
Peter was a past Australian
champion and is a life mem-
ber of the Learmonth Ski and
Power Boat Club. He was
also a long-time member of
the Sportsmen's Association
of Australia Ballarat branch.
Chris Parker, the former
president at Sebastopol, said
his good friend will be sore-
ly missed.
“You could sum Peter up
thecourier.com.au
by saying he was a larger
than life, loveable larrikin,”
Parker said.
“He was an amazing
fella - there’s no worries
about that.”
Parker described his mate
as a “devoted family man”
who enjoyed an “amaz-
ing life”.
Peter’s funeral is sched-
uled for Friday.

Forest
Rangers
retain
top spot
Round three had
impressive wins
BY SIOBHAN CALAFIORE
THERE was a mixture of
strong wins and close match-
es in round three of the
Ballarat and District Soccer
In Division One Open, the
Forest Rangers retained top
spot on the ladder after a
comprehensive victory over
Bacchus Marsh 3-0.
While Ballarat North
United enjoyed the biggest
scoreline for round three
after scoring nine goals to
Creswick’s one.
Ballarat North coach Tim
Beggs said changing the for-
mation due to injuries had
worked in the team’s favour.
“We had just three at the
back – we normally play
four – and just used our pace
out wide and upfront to get
in behind their (Creswick’s)
defence,” Beggs said.
“I know how all the teams
play in the league and that
(formation and lineup)
suited against that team
the best.”
Beggs said standout play-
ers were the three that played
in the back line – Nicholas
Richardson, Dennis Wanjiku
and Jeremy Davis.
He said with a young side
there was still plenty of room
for improvement and despite
the big score, the side need-
ed to work on finishing.
Meanwhile in Division
One Women, Vic Park added
to Bacchus Marsh’s season
woes with a dominant 12-0
victory.
Vic Park women’s coach
Bec Dale said she was happy
with the club’s first win of
the season.
“We have a lot of new play-
THE COURIER 31
ers this season and it is a very
different team so we really
came together this week,”
Dale said.
The team boasted seven
different goal scorers and
had an impressive eight-goal
second half.
“A lot of the young girls in
our team were actually the
goal scorers so it is a good
confidence boost – espe-
cially after two losses – and
it shows we are not relying
solely on one or two players,”
Dale said.
“We can only go up from
here and continue to build
on that.”

CITY STAR
PULLS THE
TRIGGER ON
NPL1 MOVE
Ballarat City's Michael Trigger
will move to National Premier
League side Heidelberg FC
during May's transfer window

SOCCER
BY DANIEL SHORT
BALLARAT City has been
dealt a huge blow with the
news that star player Michael
Trigger will be leaving the
club mid-season to join Na-
tional Premier League one
side Heidelberg.
Trigger, who is the league
leading goal kicker with nine
goals this season, will make
use of the transfer window
which begins on May 22 to
play in the top tier.
The move will leave a sig-
nificant void for City to fill
and while the club wished
Trigger all the best and
thanked him for his services,
the 22-year-old’s decision
was far from ideal for the
Ballarat side hopeful of earn-
ing promotion.
Coach Danny Gnjidic said
Trigger had been a much
sought after player, particu-
larly after his blistering form
this season. However, Gn-
jidic said while it was great
the region was producing
top-level talent, the fact that
that talent was leaving to play
at a higher level impedes
Ballarat’s ability to forge its
way into that top tier.
”There was some sense
that Michael might attract
interest, he’s obviously had
a good month,” Gnjidic said.
“We were hoping, and the
expectation was, that he’d
be committed to seeing out
the season, but opportunity
knocked and he felt like he
needed to take it.
“As a current coach, you’re
torn to a point. You want to
keep your best players and
Michael has been a key part
of what we’re doing, but at
the same time the club wants
to be able to provide oppor-
tunity for players to play at
the highest level.”
Trigger joins Brandon
Lauton (Melbourne Victory),
Stefan Nigro (Melbourne
Victory) and Aaron Romein
(St Albans – NPL) as former
players to have taken up
opportunities at the high-
er levels.
In no way does the club
begrudge the departures, but
Gnjidic said it was difficult
seeing quality players, who
could help City’s promotion
cause, leave in search of the
level of soccer Ballarat itself
is aiming to place in com-
ing years.
“While it’s a great develop-
ment ground for local talent,
we’ve got to do what we can
to keep our best talent so the
best talent is playing at the
highest level in Ballarat.
“We’re not going to make
the highest level ourselves
if we keep producing talent
then it’s going elsewhere.”
