Another Macca’s stand-offBY TARA McGRATH

TECOMA protesters are targeting the oper-ator of Boronia McDonald’s after learning hewill also run the food chain’s proposed Tecomaoutlet.

Up to 50 protesters are demonstrating eachevening at the Dorset Road store in Boronia,but in turn drawing fire from locals who com-plain about their signs, noise and litter.

Demonstrations have included a ‘noiseprotest’ featuring drums, trumpets andvuvuzelas outside Boronia McDonald’s.Holder of the Boronia franchise, James Currie,who will operate the proposed Tecoma store,refused to comment on how the protest wasaffecting business.

Residents however, complain that the noiseand signs are a distraction to motorists. Somehave used social networking websites to com-plain that protesters blocked the footpath asthey tried to pass.

The Victorian Civil and AdministrativeTribunal granted planning approval for theTecoma McDonald’s despite strong local coun-cil and resident opposition. With work on theproject still to start, protesters moved theiractions to Mr Currie’s Boronia store, warningthat Tecoma will prove to be ‘‘a poisonedchalice’’.

Garry Muratore, a spokesman for theprotest group No Maccas in the Hills, said theaim was to send Mr Currie a message. ‘‘By tak-ing on Tecoma he is the corporation’s sacrifi-

cial lamb. We’re not trying to engage [Boronia]customers, but every second car is tooting uswhen they go past.’’

Mr Muratore denied claims the group hadillegally installed signs, that it was littering andwas a nuisance.

The protest was not about stopping peoplefrom entering the store, but raising awarenessof the group’s fight.

‘‘We believe we are allowed to be here.We’ve spoken with the police and our legalteam and it is a legal protest on public land,’’Mr Muratore said.

The group had spoken to Knox Councilabout the protest and was told that they couldstay if they did not litter. ‘‘When we walk away,we leave it clean,’’ he said.

EPA’s ‘be quiet’ warning to glass factory

Clean up: Knoxfield companyAustralian Glass is facing possible

serious penalties. Picture: Tara McGrath

A MANUFACTURING companyin Knoxfield has been told toclean up its act before Novemberor face serious financial penalties.

The Environment ProtectionAuthority inspected the Austra-lian Glass factory in RushdaleStreet last month.

The EPA’s southern metromanager Leigh Bryant said thatfollowing numerous reports ofnoise pollution in the area, theelevated noise levels were tracedback to Australian Glass.

The company was issued with anotice to fix the issues and wasrequired to provide the EPA withan interim noise management planto reduce current noise levels byJune.

‘‘Australian Glass is required tomake long-term fixes to its equip-ment and plant by November,’’Mr Bryant said

‘‘Once this is in place, the com-

pany will need to demonstratethat any noise generated from thepremises falls within the requiredevening noise limits.’’

However, an Australian Glassspokesman was evasive whenasked about the EPA inspection.

He initially said he was un-aware of the issue, but lateradmitted the company was noti-fied by the EPA of an issue.

‘‘We’ve met our obligationswith compliance,’’ he said.

If the company fails to complywith the EPA ruling and the mat-ter goes to court, it face fines of upto $330,000 or $160,000 forevery day the offence continues.

Re: ‘Super’ argument over Knox budgetI thought Orpen had been on the council before?

Wayne Gerrard (via web)

Sounds to me like ‘handbags at dawn’ here — withpolitical point-scoring from new incumbents on thecouncil (boring!) over the previous incumbents.

Time to focus on the reality — the GFC has beenaround for sometime, and I suspect the council (likethe rest of the financial world) did not truly knowhow bad things had got. One thing for sure, furthercalls are highly likely.

Let’s see what strategies the ‘current’ leadershipon the council can come up with to create somecash to pay future calls, without putting pressureon rates.

It’s fairly clear what low-hanging fruit there is atcouncil, but what else? It is going to be interestingto see what happens over the next three to five

years (and beyond) to get things on track. I suspectthe council has a big land bank that it could sell.Maybe that’s worth a look.

Concern on medication misuse

Drug litter: Discarded syringes have become a fact ofurban life with continuing abuse of heroin.

Picture: Jerry Galea

BY TARA McGRATH

PRESCRIPTION medication, heroin and icecontinue to be the most dangerous drugs abusedin Knox, a new report shows.

Knox rates among the highest suburbs inMelbourne for ambulance call-outs related tomisuse of anti-psychotic prescription medication.Ambulance attendances to heroin-relatedemergencies and overdoses occurred almostweekly, the report showed.

‘‘Heroin is always a constant drug of choice. Itvaries in price, amount and potency, but the risein Knox is hard to attribute to a particular issue,’’said Matthew Frei, the clinical director of Turn-ing Point, Eastern Health’s drug and alcoholcentre. He said hot spots for heroin changedregularly.

Turning Point and Ambulance Victoria lastweek released a comprehensive statewide reporttitled Trends in Alcohol and Drug RelatedAmbulance Attendances.

The report showed that overall, alcohol anddrug-related attendances were down acrossKnox, from 832 in 2010-11 to 741 in 2011-12.

But for the second year in a row, Knox rankedthird for anti-psychotic medication-relatedattendances.

There were 51 such call-outs, equal to thenumber in Casey and behind Frankston wherethere were 65. Dr Frei said the new generation of

anti-psychotic drugs had sedative effects.Overdoses on those drugs were rare when prope-rly monitored by doctors.

‘‘Sometimes people give them to friends, or usethem to calm down, or use them out of theguidelines to help sleep. If they’re not used todrugs, they might think on a bad night theyshould have eight tablets instead of two,’’ he said.

There were 55 extra call-outs last year for alco-hol issues, rising to 250, which was a trend reflec-ted across the state, Dr Frei said.

‘‘Like heroin, it will always be there. I don’tthink there is a decline in drinking despite therebeing more education because you’re up againsta culture and industry promoting drinking.’’

The use of crystal methamphetamine — com-monly known as ice — continues to rise with thenumber of call-outs related to the drug more thandoubling in Knox last year.

Dr Frei said several factors contributed to ice’srising popularity, including its price — ‘‘entry-level ice is cheaper than entry-level ecstasy orcocaine’’.

The drug also appealed to young people becau-se it was smoked or snorted, instead of injected.

‘‘It is more acceptable than injecting but smok-ing is a very effective way of delivering a hugedose rapidly, which causes a lot of harm.’’

On the streetwhere you speedPOLICE nabbed three people speeding intheir own street during a special residentialstreet operation in Boronia on Mondaymorning.

Acting Sergeant Dave Stevenson said 25drivers were caught speeding in back streetsduring a four-hour, TAC-funded operation inBoronia.

He said most drivers were speeding inexcess of 15km/h over the speed limit inschool and residential zones.

Three Devendish Road residents werecaught speeding along their own street, whilemany others were Boronia locals from nearbyestates, who had cut through back streets toaccess Scoresby Road.

The patrols were a part of OperationCadence, which is being run across Knoxregularly this year.

Acting Sergeant Stevenson warned motor-ists that police would continue to patrolunexpected locations.

‘‘We’re not going to be where you wouldnormally expect, like a median strip on thefreeway or a main road.

‘‘People speeding in the back streets showthat they have a careless view of the speedlimit,’’ he said.

Funding plea to fightdomestic violence

Emergency situation: Maryclare Machen, pictured with a quilt made by women and children affected bydomestic violence, says domestic violence services require urgent funding. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY TARA McGRATH

WOMEN could be forced to return to violentpartners if the state government failed to increasefunding for support services, a leading domesticviolence service in the eastern suburbs haswarned.

Despite what workers say is an unrelentingincrease in demand for their services, the EasternDomestic Violence Service did not receive anyextra funding in the state budget.

EDVOS’s executive officer Maryclare Machenslammed the inaction, saying the service was nowfacing an emergency situation.

‘‘We need to invest in services to help womenand children get safe. It makes economic senseand it makes sense at a human level. Despite this,the state government has put no new fundinginto women’s family violence services in thisbudget,’’ Ms Machen said. ‘‘The lack of fundingplaces huge pressure on workers already doing avery hard job.’’

Last year, police officers referred 2000 womento EDVOS, but that number is expected to rise to

3000 this year. That follows an increase in servicedemand of 135 per cent last year and 295 percent the previous year, Ms Machen said.

‘‘It is because of the better policing, it is saferfor women to come forward now. We welcomethe fact we are getting more calls from womenthemselves and more police referrals. But weneed extra funding to make sure we can respondas quickly as possible to the increasing numbersof women and police referrals we are getting.’’

Ms Machen said the service had been forced toconsider how it could continue to operate due tothe financial constraints.

‘‘While there is an overwhelming demand fromwomen, we are more crisis focused. But wewould like to provide more recovery and preven-tion services.’’

She said if those services were not available,women in a violent relationship may feel as ifthey had nowhere to turn. ‘‘One of the risks isthat women will stay with a violent partner forlonger or return to the home with a violent part-ner there.’’

The organisation received money for two

domestic violence advocates last November, butthat has not been enough to meet the increasingdemand. The service receives about $2.5 millioneach year from the state and federal govern-

ments, but Ms Machen could not say how muchextra was required. Community Services Minis-ter Mary Wooldridge did not respond to arequest for comment.

Lifeline restoredBY DAVID SCHOUT and TARA McGRATH

A SERVICE for vulnerable young people haswon a reprieve amid a groundswell of localopposition to state government moves to endit next month.

Premier Denis Napthine announced theextension of the School Focused Youth Ser-vice program in Parliament’s adjournmentdebate on May 10. A government spokesmanrefused to say whether public pressureinfluenced the decision.

In November last year the educationdepartment wrote to youth and supportagencies and said contracts for the SFYS —which includes suicide prevention programs— would not be renewed after June 30.

The decision attracted a raft of criticism,including from leading psychiatrist ProfessorPatrick McGorry, who told the Weekly thedecision ‘‘beggars belief’’.

Mayors from several municipalitiesincluding Knox, met to voice their protest tothe program’s axing. But Premier DenisNapthine told Parliament that the service ‘‘inits current format is funded and will continueto be funded’’ and that he was ‘‘very proudof’’ of the program.

Knox mayor Karin Orpen, a strong sup-porter, said she was pleased that Dr Napthinehad demonstrated he ‘‘had a soul’’, consider-ing he implemented the program as youthminister in the 1990s.

She believed that campaigning by thecouncil had helped. ‘‘It was quite a push bylocal governments, it doesn’t happen a lot.We were clear that the program had to befunded,’’ Cr Orpen said.

The state opposition has labelled the deci-sion as a backflip. ‘‘Without the lobbying andcampaigning from both providers and thecommunity, Denis Napthine would haveswept this service out the door,’’ shadowparliamentary secretary for education ColinBrooks said.

Mr Brooks said it appeared EducationMinister Martin Dixon was overruled byDr Napthine and told to reverse the cuts, aclaim denied by a spokeswoman for theminister.

‘‘Despite the Labor lies being peddledabout the SFYS program, the minister hasnever made a decision to end it,’’ she said.

The spokeswoman did not confirmwhether the $7.6 million program wouldretain the same funding from July.

Cops ‘protecting’ PSOsBY TARA McGRATH

KNOX police are visiting Ferntree Gullyprotective services officers nightly to preventthem from being subjected to humiliatingpranks recorded for broadcast on theinternet site YouTube.

Senior Sergeant Phil Edmund said policewere aware of several incidents of groupsantagonising PSOs, filming their reactionand uploading it to social networking sites.

He said that while it had not happened at

any Knox stations, the twice-nightly visitsprovided an extra deterrent for trouble-makers.

‘‘We’re told by the PSOs they have hadconfrontations and with technology thesedays, that’s something we have to be awareof,’’ Senior Sergeant Edmunds said.

He praised the Ferntree Gully PSOs’ work,saying there was a clear reduction in offencessuch as theft from cars, graffiti and criminaldamage. ‘‘We like to show our support,they’re doing a great job,’’ he said.

Four Gully schoolsget $11m boost

A jump start: Nick Wakeling celebrates the $15 million schools funding announcement with Wattle View PrimarySchool pupils Hannah and Flynn. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY TARA McGRATH

FOUR schools in Ferntree Gully will receive acomplete makeover after the state governmentlast week announced infrastructure funding of$15 million for the area.

Wattle View, Fairhills, Mountain Gate andFerntree Gully North primary schools wouldbenefit, Premier Denis Napthine said.

“These projects are exciting for local schoolcommunities and will provide much-needed newfacilities,” he said.

“These school modernisations [$11.2 million]will give current and future students and teachersaccess to state-of-the-art facilities.’’

Ferntree Gully MP Nick Wakeling was thrilledby the announcement, saying it was one of thebiggest investments ever made in the suburb.

Wattle View Primary School scored $4 millionof the state funding to demolish old facilities andbuild an administration area and classroms. Prin-cipal Elaine Wilson said the new building wouldcomplete the school’s rejuvenation.

It would be business as usual during construc-

tion, as the new building would be built beforethe original building was demolished.

Mrs Wilson said the school hoped to create the‘Wattle View Walk’, which would link the threebuildings on the property with a number ofsitting areas and a barbecue.

She also expected the new building to attractmore interest in the school.

‘‘It is about the people in the building, but alovely workplace helps,’’ Mrs Wilson said.

‘‘It’s like a cake, if it looks awful, you don’ttake a piece.’’

Other funding allocations for Ferntree Gullyinclude:■ Ferntree Gully North Primary School: $4.5 mil-lion for learning spaces, multipurpose facilitiesand an administration centre.■ Fairhills Primary School: $4 million for aresource centre and refurbishment of existingbuildings.■ Mountain Gate Primary School: $2.7 million todemolish existing buildings and build administra-tion facilities, classrooms, hard courts and a carpark.

This fashion a life-saver

Giving back: Nicky Zanen aims to educate the community about lymphoedema, adisease which is expected to affect 8000 Australians this year. Pictures: Rob Carew

BY TARA McGRATH

Life, not fashion: Nicky Zanen must wearher compression garments every day tominimise swelling in a leg caused bylymphoedema.

FOR most women, stockings are afashion choice but for Boronia resid-ent Nicky Zanen they are a matter oflife or death.

Since she was diagnosed with lym-phoedema in 1994, putting on com-pression stockings have become a partof Ms Zanen’s daily ritual.

The disease causes one of her legs toswell immensely, and without thecompression stocking, the conditioncould be fatal.

Until she was diagnosed, Ms Zanen,60, was unaware of the disease thatdefines her daily life. It is an incurablelife-long disease causing chronic swell-ing, usually in the arms or legs, due toan accumulation of lymphatic fluid inthe body’s tissues.

Now, as president of the Lym-phoedema Association of Victoria, sheis passionate about educating the med-ical world and public about the dis-ease, which is expected to affect 8000Australians this year.

Ms Zanen considers herself lucky,

because lymphoedema is widelyunder-diagnosed. ‘‘Often, doctorsdon’t recognise the signs,’’ she said.‘‘They often think the person is justoverweight.’’

Lymphoedema is often present at

birth but is not apparent until trig-gered by an invasive trauma, possiblyin adulthood. In Ms Zanen’s case, thecondition developed after surgery in1994. A year later she was helping setup a flower show when she noticedone of her legs had swollen — and herdoctor made the diagnosis that wouldshape the rest of her life.

She can no longer walk for longperiods and her dream of working in anursery is now impossible. However,she now works as an administratorand indulges her passion for plants byvolunteering with the Australian PlantSociety and decorating her owngarden with native flora.

“I treat lymphoedema as a lifesentence, not a death sentence, andmake the most of everything I can do,”she said. ‘‘I have to take really goodcare of myself — but I do hate wearingstockings,’’ she laughed.

Ms Zanen began working with theLAV to show her appreciation for itssupport when she was diagnosed andis now focused on raising awareness inthe community of lymphoedema.

Facing the challenges of autism

Autism advice: RichardEisenmajer.

Picture: Penny Stephens/The Age

BY TARA McGRATH

FOR children with autism, school days are long,much longer than for most kids.

While their classmates have breaks at recess andlunch, there are no spells for autistic students. Forthem, just coping with school’s social life is a chore— and clinical psychologist Richard Eisenmajerbelieves that is what often forces autistic childrento misbehave so badly at night.

‘‘Kids with autism have a double curriculum —they’re not at school just for work, socialising is anextra curriculum for them. Recess and luncharen’t a rest for them, it’s extra work,’’ he said.

Dr Eisenmajer was the keynote speaker at aCareConnect forum in Croydon last week thatfocused on what it was like to live with an autismspectrum disorder.

He began his career at the Irabina Early Inter-vention Centre in Bayswater in the 1980s, beforeestablishing his own practice, The ASD Clinic, inEast Kew.

His focus has expanded to helping to managethe daily lives of children with the disorder.

Dr Eisenmajer said autism was genetic, whichwas the reason many families had several mem-bers on the spectrum. The breadth of autism hadnow expanded, meaning many sufferers previ-

ously went undiagnosed because their impair-ments were milder than what was expected of anautistic child.

He spoke to parents at last week’s forum aboutthe best ways to manage an autistic child’s day.

‘‘Kids with autism get home and they want toplay video games for three hours. Then, what doyou do as a parent?’’ Dr Eisenmajer asked, since itwas how they relaxed after school.

He said it was often difficult for parents to findthe right balance in disciplining their autistic child.

‘‘It’s teaching somebody who at their core isegocentric. How do you try and teach that child tobe more two-way? It can take some time.

‘‘Parents know their children need rest but whatabout homework set by a teacher or piano prac-tice? It can set up a lot of ugly dynamics in thehome.’’

He advised parents to be less authoritarian andto negotiate with their child. ‘‘Rather than enter-ing into mini-wars, talk to them about under-standing one another,’’ he said.

Talks held onpool ramp accessWORKSAFE is investigating an access rampat Knox Leisureworks that has worriedelderly and disabled residents since it wasbuilt.

A WorkSafe spokeswoman confirmed aninspector and ergonomist met Leisureworksmanagement and Knox Council in April tocheck whether the ramp provided safe accessto the centre’s hydro-pool.

Currently, when a person in a wheelchairneeds to access the pool they are assisted bya Leisureworks staff member.

The council’s director of community ser-vices Kerry Stubbings said WorkSafe waslooking at whether that process was safe.

The WorkSafe spokeswoman said thecouncil was looking into what actioncould be taken to make the area safer andwould provide feedback to WorkSafeshortly.

Ms Stubbings said minor repairs wereabout to begin on the access ramp. Thecouncil was confident the ramp was safe.

‘‘We provide this extra service — wherebystaff assist people down the ramps — incases where people ask for extra assistanceat the front desk,’’ she said.

FEATURESTORY

Defending, without prejudiceFamily violence, possession of drugs, assault, recklessly causing injury, theft and driving offences are all in a day’s work for the

lawyers of Victoria Legal Aid. TARA McGRATH reports.

Scott for the defence: Social worker and lawyer, Elissa Scott, has made defendingvulnerable people her business. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

‘They have come tous in a time of crisisand they’ve got a lotof issues going on.’

— Elissa Scott

A sheaf of court papers waving inher hands like a distress signal,the woman who appears in the

doorway speaks hurriedly, interrupt-ing the duty lawyers as they preparefor a long day in court.

She has reason to be worried. She isa 30-something, harried single motherwith a charge sheet that includes theft,drug and weapons possession, pastfailures to appear in court, andnumerous driving offences includingbusting the blood alcohol limit. Andshe does not have a lawyer.

Legal Aid’s Elissa Scott, a veteran offive years of long and unpredictabledays defending vulnerable people, isunfazed. She has seen this before.

Firmly but politely, she directs thewoman to a court clerk, telling her shemust take her place in the queue oflawyerless defendants.

Indeed, all day defendants streaminto the duty lawyer’s spartan officefurnished with plain office chairs anda single desk. The walls are bare.

On any day at Dandenong Magis-trates Court, Scott, as managinglawyer, sees up to 20 people take aplace at that desk. Their mannersrange from defensive and denyingwrongdoing to humblydiscussing the mental illness or drugaddiction that so often underliesoffending.

The main focus for Legal Aidlawyers are people who cannot afforda private lawyer, have an intellectualdisability or are experiencing home-lessness. They also see many peoplewho have English languagedifficulties, or who are at risk offamily violence. IndigenousAustralians are over represented, too.

‘‘There is a high volume of work andit can be challenging because we needto see a certain number of people onany given day. Sometimes the issuespeople present with are really complex— like mental health issues, intellec-tual disabilities, or drug and alcoholissues,’’ Scott says.

At her first meeting of the day, Scottmeets a middle-aged man who wasrecently nabbed twice for seriousdriving offences. ‘John’ (not his realname) had his licence cancelled in2009 for four years after he refused apolice breath-test.

However, he was recently caughttwice driving while disqualified —once going to work, the other afterdropping off a mate — and using amobile phone while driving.

Scott warns him he is facing more‘‘significant time’’ off the road, as well

as a community corrections order orsuspended jail term. She walks himthrough the police summary ofoffences, stopping and listening as heexplains why he ventured onto theroad unlicensed.

John and his partner then questionwhether he will be able to get offbecause he was driving to work. Scottquickly dismisses that long-held myth— something she regularly does. Thereare many such myths in the legal world— some that are humorous and somethat are absurd, such as the one thatclaims you may continue driving aslong as you do not know your licencehas been disqualified. Scott neverlaughs or scoffs.

‘‘Sometimes it does get frustrating,but at the same time it’s about puttingit into perspective.

‘‘The people we’re dealing with per-haps haven’t had the same back-ground that I had growing up in afamily where I have developed

problem-solving skills and socialskills. We’re dealing with people thathave had different life experiences, soon one level it might sometimes get alittle frustrating, but on others it iscompletely understandable,’’ she says.

Scott has always been drawn tohumanitarian causes. She worked as asocial worker before following herpassion into law.

Scott did her legal articles incommercial law, but that was nevergoing to be her career path.

She recalls: ‘‘I just never thoughtthat was me, because I really wantedto work with some of the more vulner-able people in our community, like Ihad when I was a social worker.’’

Legal Aid became her ultimatecareer goal. She has now been with theorganisation for five years and is themanaging lawyer at the Western Portregional office in Dandenong.

‘‘My time as a social worker provid-ed me with a lot of people skills and

good listening skills. I’ve been able todeal with vulnerable clients, who aresometimes difficult to work with.’’

Outside of the Melbourne office,Western Port is the busiest Legal Aidoffice in the state with 8884 dutylawyer sessions conducted in the2011-12 financial year — representingmore than 13 per cent of duty lawyermatters statewide.

Scott’s time as a social workerproves pertinent to the next appear-ance involving ‘Lucy’, a softly spoken,nervous and worried mother of twowho is concerned about what aconviction will mean for any futureemployment prospects.

She is no stranger to court, recentlyappearing at the BroadmeadowsMagistrates Court and has courtappearances scheduled in Melbourneand at Heidelberg.

Discussing Lucy’s charges, Scottdiscovers that she was an ‘ice’ addict atthe time who now says she has gone‘cold turkey’ for the past three weeks.

It’s a common theme, Scott says.Heroin and cannabis used to be the‘popular’ drugs, but these days it’s iceand cannabis.

Talk also uncovers Lucy’s history ofsevere mental health issues, includingadmissions to a psychiatric hospital.

‘‘Sometimes they are difficult towork with. They have come to us in atime of crisis and they’ve got a lot ofissues going on. That is where mysocial worker background becomesreally advantageous because I knowwhat services are out there.’’

Scott advises Lucy to make anappointment with The Salvation Armyin Dandenong — just across the road— to begin drug counselling. Anattempt at rehabilitation will give herthe greatest chance of impressing amagistrate, Scott tells her.

Lucy agrees, but it will be a whilebefore Scott ever finds out if shefollowed the advice. ‘‘It is sometimes abit of a thankless job but that’s OKtoo, because I suppose it’s that innatefeeling you get of being able to assistsomebody,’’ she says.

Later, Scott’s focus turns to twofamily violence cases — the fastestgrowing portfolio within Legal Aid.

Victoria Police says there were 1845reports of family violence incidents inDandenong last financial year, 3172 inCasey and 984 in Cardinia and allheard at Dandenong MagistratesCourt.

Two men each claim the womenthey allegedly abused exaggerated theclaims. Scott is still calming, soothingand positive.

When ‘Nick’ explains he illegallyinstalled a listening device in his girl-friend’s bedroom wall because he wasaddicted to ice and extremelyparanoid, she praises him for nowbeing off the drug. ‘‘It’s a really sensa-tional effort on your part,’’ she says.

Regardless of the alleged offending,she tries to avoid condemnation.

‘‘I think it’s about putting all thataside. It’s not my job to judge, I amhere to provide assistance in the bestcapacity that I can because everyone isentitled to good legal representationand that’s very much what the role is— it’s about providing good compre-hensive legal representation foreverybody,’’ she said.

By 4.30pm, the courts are closedand the waiting area which resembleda holding pen just hours ago has emp-tied out.

Today’s cases, captured in manilafiles, are now bound for Scott’s officefiles.

Tomorrow, there will be anotherbatch just like them.

LEGALLIMBO

LEGAL assistance for major trialswas recently placed in jeopardyafter Victoria Legal Aid introducedchanges to its funding guidelines inJanuary. The changes limited payfor instructing solicitors to trialpreparation and two half days of aserious criminal trial.

Legal Aid said the cuts wereneeded because governmentfunding did not match theunprecedented demand for itsservices.

Legal Aid restored the funding thismonth but warned it would not befinancially sustainable long term,while the Law Institute of Victoriacondemned the state government’srecent budget for Legal Aid.

LIV president Reynah Tang saidan immediate one-off $10 millioninjection of funds was needed alongwith increased ongoing funding.

“Legal Aid is in crisis in Victoriaand much of the reason for this isthe government’s tough on crimepolicies,’’ Mr Tang said. ‘‘Tough oncrime means more people chargedwith offences and greater demandfor legal aid.’’

Through the lens,reading faces

Face to face: Stephen Zagala with one of the exhibits at the photographic show. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY DANIEL TRAN

Seven black faces stare intently into the lens,their shared gaze unwavering. Each wears ared headband that holds back their blonde,

brunette or greying hair. Their features are sim-ilar, suggesting that it is a family portrait.

But from the neck down, their skin is pale,making their faces stand out more.

The portrait is how photographer Bindi Colethought the world perceived her. The photo-graph, part of her series Not really Aboriginaldocuments her experiences as a light-skinnedindigenous woman. It will appear as part of theMonash Gallery of Art’s Make Up exhibition.

The show features works from contemporaryphotographers who captured pictures of peoplewho have painted their faces for the lens.

The portraits range from the absurd to theplayful. It also delves into the issue of race.

Exhibition curator Stephen Zagala says Cole’swork is confrontational.

‘‘She’s taken these photographs of her family,dressed up in black face paint, looking very nobleand proud of their Aboriginal heritage,’’ he said.

But while the show will have a political edge,Zagala says some parts are lighthearted, such aswork by Darren Sylvester showing a youngmodel with a peace sign painted on her face.

‘‘[Sylvester’s] argument is that participating inpolitical rallies these days for young people —there’s not really any political veracity in this orpower. It’s just a kind of sub-cultural, social thingthat people do. It’s fun.’’

Zagala says photography was intimately tiedto role playing . ‘‘Even though there might be anotion that photography is about recordingtruthfulness and being accurate . . . creating animage is a process of make-believe, of playingwith surfaces to create a certain impression.’’

The Make Up exhibition is showing at theMonash Gallery of Art at 860 Ferntree GullyRoad, Wheelers Hill, until June 30.

Accord moves upmarketBY EWAN KENNEDY in Auckland

Refined: Styling of the latest Honda Accord aims atsophistication — and hits the mark.

The ninth generation Honda Accord hasbeen introduced to Australia’s motoringmedia at a special event in Auckland. Our

Kiwi neighbours received the car a monthahead of Australia, and Honda was keen to letus test the new car on some of the world’s bestdriving roads.

Honda Accord’s high grade models havelevels of equipment that rival that of the muchmore expensive Honda Legend, and there’s abig push on refinement and sophistication.

Hence the new Accord has a conservativebody shape. It works well to our eyes.

Prices are sharp, with the four-cylinderrange starting at just $31,490. The top-line V6Accord L comes with a host of standard fea-tures and has a recommended retail of$51,990.

Seating is comfortable and there’s goodlegroom in the rear even when a tall person isdriving.

There’s a strong emphasis on luxury, even inthe rear compartment, and this big Hondacould be regarded as a limo.

An impressive feature is the use of noise can-celling technology. Small microphones ‘listen’to the interior noise and generate sound wavesto cancel out unwanted sounds. This results ina very quiet cabin.

Boot space is good, but has lost depth due toit being modified to take a full-size sparewheel/tyre for the Australian market.

There’s a strong emphasis on the safetyprovided by crash avoidance and/or mitigationfeatures, with many of the items in the Accordnormally being seen only in upmarket Europ-ean cars.

As before, Accord engine options are a four-cylinder 2.4-litre and a V6 displacing 3.5 li-tres. The four is an all-new powerplant andputs out 129 kW of power and 225 Nm oftorque. The six (206 kW, 339 Nm) is based onthe previous V6 unit but has been updated.

Interestingly, Honda Australia will continueto import the ‘other’ Accord. The AccordEuro, a smaller car aimed at the sportingdriver and very European in its driving dynam-ics, has won applause from keen drivers inAustralia.

New Accord is a large car, almost Com-modore and Falcon in length.

The Honda is softer in its suspension andsteering than its competitors, but this is adeliberate move to push comfort ahead ofother aspects. If you want a sporty sedan, lookelsewhere, but if smoothness, luxury and nearsilence inside a car is your thing then the newAccord should sit high on your short list.

This all-new Honda Accord is an impressivepiece of automotive engineering and willappeal to smart buyers who realise it givesthem as much quality as the big Germanmarques, but without their inflated price tags.

Winningstreak endsfor womenKNOX Raiders women lost their first gameof the South East Australian BasketballLeague season on Saturday night, goingdown to the Ballarat Rush women by thesmallest possible margin.

Early on, it looked as though the Raiderswould cruise to their 10th consecutivevictory, opening the game with a 12-0 run,setting up a 27-11 quarter-time lead withRaiders centre Gabe Richards scoring 14points.

The Rush clawed their way back in thesecond, cutting the margin to five points athalf-time, and resisting a Knox push in thethird to stay in touch, only trailing by fourat three-quarter-time.

The lead see-sawed throughout the lastterm, with Ballarat’s Kristy Rinaldisplashing a three with just under a minuteleft, putting the Miners ahead by that mar-gin. In the following play, Raiders guardKelly Wilson came off a Richards screen tomake a three of her own, again tying thescores.

With seven seconds left, Raiders forwardShanae Greaves had a contentious foulcalled on her, sending Rush star AliceKunek to the line. Kunek went one fromtwo to give Ballarat the victory, 82-81.

Richards finished with 32 points and 12rebound and Wilson had 20 points and 11assists.

Coming off a loss for the first time thisyear, the Raiders on Sunday faced Sand-ringham Sabres women, who the Raidersdefeated only a month ago with a Wilsongame-winner.

The Sabres were the better team in thefirst quarter, leading 21-16 at quarter-time,but the Raiders bounced back in thesecond, locking the Sabres down defens-ively and keeping them to six points for thequarter, going ahead by 10 points at half-time.

The Raiders continued to run away fromthe Sabres in the third term, extending theirmargin to 16 points at three-quarter-time.

Despite losing the final term 22-19, Knoxwon easily 81-68 with Richards andGreaves doing the damage, Richards scor-ing 28 points to go with her 16 rebounds,and Greaves impressing with 16 points andnine rebounds.

The Raiders women will hit the road onSaturday night to take on Geelong, beforeheading home to the State BasketballCentre on Sunday to take on Launceston.

Unlucky Raiders stay confidentBY ROY WARD

THE season is not over for Knox Raiders men —in some ways it’s only just getting started.

The Raiders added two more losses to theirseven-game losing streak over the weekend, fallingto Ballarat Miners 84-81 then to SandringhamSabres 98-92 at Sandringham on Sunday.

The losing streak leaves the Raiders on thebottom of the South East Australian BasketballLeague south conference ladder with first MickHill and more recently their star CJ Massingalemissing matches through injuries.

Yet Raiders coach Matt Shanahan said his siderefused to concede its season and still believedthere was a chance to turn its year around.

Now Hill and Massingale are back in the sideand almost at full match fitness so Shanahanbelieves more wins can come and possibly even anaddition to the team, with Shanahan still believinghis side lacks another player.

‘‘We are halfway through the season and arestill striving for four solid quarters of basketball,’’he said.

‘‘We are no longer the most talented team going

round like in the past — we need everyone on thesame page with what we are doing.’’

The Raiders were unlucky not to snap their los-ing streak against the Miners on Saturday nightwith Miners captain and Cairns Taipans NBLplayer Shaun Bruce scoring seven points in thefinal minutes to take his side to victory.

Even Massingale’s return performance of 33points was overshadowed by the tough loss.

‘‘Saturday night was disappointing because wewere up 10 points with five minutes to go butcouldn’t come away with a win,’’ Shanahan said.

‘‘When you go through these sort of losingstreaks, some of those losses could easily havebeen wins but we haven’t been able to get thoseresults.’’

Shanahan hasn’t given up hope of signinganother player to add to his rotation although theRaiders have had no luck in finding a suitableAustralian player to fill the position in the sidethat Stephen Hoare had last season.

‘‘We have exhausted every opportunity, welooked at returning college players, other big guysand then just the best talents we could find, whichis why we had Rhys Carter for three matches. We

still plan to get someone else, whether it’s Rhyswhen he comes back from overseas or someoneelse,’’ Shanahan said.

With the Raiders still a chance to chase downfourth-placed Ballarat, Shanahan still has faith inhis side, which faces championship favouriteGeelong Supercats in Geelong on Saturday night.

‘‘The league is that close that I still look at usand look at Geelong and think we are a chance,’’Shanahan said.

‘‘There is still a long way to go in the season andwe could still win the head-to-head splits withseveral teams. We are still talented enough but it’staken longer than expected to adjust to my system.

‘‘I’m very patient, it will happen.’’The Raiders men return home to the State

Basketball Centre on Sunday to play North-WestTasmania at 2pm.

IN a game long on endeavour andshort on chances, Mooroolbarkfound three goals and an even morevaluable three points against Row-ville Eagles in the FFV state league 4east soccer competition on Saturday.

Eric Huynh (17th minute),Reuben Clausen (49th minute) andMario Cauteruccio (61st minute)scored in the Barkers’ 3-1 win overthe Eagles, whose goal came fromNemanja Salamandic (81st minute).

The Barkers opened the scoringwith a long ball down the middle torelease Clausen.

He passed out right to theunmarked Huynh, who netted froma tight angle for 1-0.

The score was unchanged at half-time and the Barkers were straightout of the blocks in the second halfwhen David Brickell punted the ballforward for Adam Doughty, but theball didn’t to sit up for him on thebumpy pitch.

He eventually controlled it andbeat his man, reaching the bylinebefore crossing from the right to thefar post, where an unmarked Clau-sen was waiting to head home for2-0.

A Barkers cross into the box resul-ted in a penalty, with a player goingdown as the ball came in.

It fell to Cauteruccio to dispatchthe ball to the keeper’s left for 3-0.

Ibraimi lIbraimi for the Eagles set aball from the left to the far postwhere Salamandic headed home tomake it 3-1.

The Barkers have now won 11 oftheir past 12 matches.

In other state league 4 eastmatches, Knox City kept pace withthe leading sides scoring a 1-0 winover Brandon Park at Egan LeeReserve on Saturday.

Turnovers costly for the HawksBY ROY WARD

ROWVILLE is slowly adjusting to the speed andintensity of Eastern Football League division 1football and those adjustments can’t comequickly enough for Hawks coach Paul Mynott.

The Hawks have two wins from their first sixmatches in their first season back at the top andthat win tally could well have been three if theHawks had managed to handle East Ringwood’spressure in the second half of their clash on Sat-urday.

The Hawks led at quarter-time and were onlytwo goals down at the final change but made sev-eral costly errors as the Roos hopped away in thefinal term to win by 19 points.

Mynott said his side had put on a disappoint-ing display against a team it could well havebeaten.

‘‘I was pretty disappointed with the wholeday,’’ Mynott said.

‘‘The first quarter was outstanding, we played

quality football but the moment they lifted theirpressure on us we went to water.

‘‘It was a massive contrast between our firstterm and the rest of the match and I’m still tryingto work out what happened to be honest.’’

Mynott said his players had seen how costlyturnovers and loose play could be in top-divisionfootball.

‘‘Our turnover rate was nowhere near where itshould have been,’’ he said.

‘‘It was the difference in the game. The way wegave the ball away was just shocking then theyhad a couple of good midfielders who got on topas well and we battled to get back into it.’’

Alex Frawley, Robbie McEwin, MasonCrozier and Matt Jackson were named best play-ers with McEwin adding three goals.

The Hawks have shown some good form intheir first six matches and Mynott remains con-fident his side will give the top five a shake in thesecond half of the season.

‘‘The intensity of the matches is constant, there

is no snooze button in division 1 football,’’ hesaid. ‘‘It’s just flat-out footy for every minute andevery second of the match. In division 2 there isalways a few matches where you are challengedfor a half and then the other side drops away —we are learning these matches are a constant bat-tle.

‘‘I’ve said all along that by the half-way markwe should know what it’s all about and then inthe later half of the year come into our own.’’

Knox Falcons couldn’t hold off a fast-finishingNoble Park as they lost by 46 points while Ver-mont gave Scoresby a bad day at the office withthe Eagles coming away with a 176-point win.

Improving Boronia facesup to flag favourites

JUST as the wins start piling up forBoronia, along comes top teamDoncaster.

The Hawks have strung togethertwo straight wins and look to beadapting well to new playing coachMarc Hardy’s game style but thisSaturday they square off against theDoncats, who have looked every bitthe premiership favourites in theiropening six matches of the EasternFootball League division 1 season.

While the Hawks recruited wellwith Hardy joined by formerScoresby star Marc Williams andestablished Hawks stars like DeanGrice, the Doncats feature formerAFL star Nathan Thompson andAFL draft pick Aaron Fiora alongwith the coaching of long-time AFLplayer Andrew Tranquilli.

Hardy said his side got betterwith each match and would beboosted by the return of Williams tothe forward line after a two-weekinjury absence.

‘‘We are starting to get ourselvesgoing with the game plan and start-ing to get to know each other betterbut our form will be judged on howwe play against the top sides soplaying Doncaster will be that sortof test,’’ Hardy said.

‘‘Our playing list had a bit offinals experience so I don’t thinkplaying them will be a shock. Whenyou play a team like Doncasterwhich has some quality players,then it comes down how well youplay.’’ Hardy said he had enjoyed

his first season as a player-coach,playing in the midfield and as a rest-ing forward including five goals inthe Hawks’ 47-point win overChirnside Park on Saturday.

‘‘I get a fair bit of stimulationfrom still being able to contribute tothe team and I enjoy that aspectalong with my coaching.

‘‘Plus we are playing against newteams and others that I hadn’tplayed against for a few years so it’sbeen good in that way as well.’’

The return of Williams will addplenty to the forward line, while in-form players like Jess Bolton, Grice,Mark Mollica and Jason Heathhave been crucial to the Hawks’good form.

Wantirna South overran TheBasin in the final term of their divi-sion 3 clash on Saturday with theDevils kicking seven goals afterthree-quarter-time to run out50-point winners.

Taylor Leggate and Andrew Tea-kel were best for the Devils whilethe Bears’ best were Clint King andWill Gafer.

In division 2 Bayswater andUpper Ferntree Gully had roughdays, the Waters losing to Moorool-bark and the Uppers falling to Don-vale.

The Waters lost by 31 points afterthe Mustangs held the advantage allday with the Waters’ best being SamNevins, Dan Rajab, AnthonyHogan and Daniel McLachlan. TheUppers lost by 16 points to Donvale

with Liam Gellie, Tyler Willis andJosh Derksen in the best players.
