GERM FEAR
Meningococcal disease kills second Ballarat resident this year
BY MICHELLE SMITH
A BALLARAT man in his
70s has died from invasive
meningococcal disease,
becoming Ballarat’s sec-
ond meningococcal victim
this year.
The 71-year-old man died
in the Ballarat Base Hospital
last month from the notifia-
ble disease, just four months
after the deadly infection
claimed the life of 19-year-
old Emma-Kate McGrath.
The two cases are
not linked.
Across the state, meningo-
coccal disease has claimed
the lives of five people
this year.
The Department of Health
and Human Services yester-
day said there had been 54
confirmed cases of invasive
meningococcal disease
recorded in Victoria this
year, 21 of which were due
to serogroup W – the same
strain involved in the latest
Ballarat death.
A Department of Health
and Human Services spokes-
person said the prevalence
of the serogroup W type
of meningococcal had in-
creased across Australia in
recent years.
When hospital staff con-
firmed the man was suffer-
ing from a meningococcal
infection his family and close
contact were given clearance
antibiotics to ensure the dis-
ease did not spread.
The typical incubation pe-
riod for the meningococcal
bacteria after exposure is
two to 10 days, but the germs
cannot live for more than a
few seconds outside the hu-
man body.
"Meningococcal illness
can rapidly overwhelm its
victims,” the spokesper-
son said.
Symptoms may include fe-
ver, headache, vomiting, stiff
neck or sore muscles

Forum to bridge gap
BY ANNA EVANS
WITH Ballarat soon to be-
come a major centre for
refugee resettlement, mem-
bers of the community have
met to discuss ways to help
new arrivals in setting down
roots.
This public forum co host-
ed by the Asylum Seeker Re-
source Centre, Ballarat Re-
gional Multicultural Council
and the City of Ballarat,
brought together communi-
ty members from a range of
sectors to promote welcom-
ing, employing and coordi-
nating support for people on
the Safe Haven Enterprise
Visa Scheme and their inde-
pendence, integration and
contribution to the com-
munity. It comes as Ballarat
could soon see an influx from
metropolitan Melbourne of
up to 13,000 people on the
scheme to study or work. The
forum provided information
on holistic approaches to
refugee integration through
addressing health and well
being, education and train-
ing and employment needs
in the Ballarat region.
The Ballarat Regional
Settlement Advocacy Com-
mittee has published 10 key
action recommendations in
response which will be used
as a guide to make Ballarat
the leading settlement des-
tination for refugees over the
next 10 years.
“Some of the biggest issues
for people firstly is to find
appropriate accommodation
and to make sure that they
can assist their families to
be welcomed into the com-
munity,” Wimmera develop-
ment association chief exec-
utive officer Ralph Kenyon
said. “I think it’s important
that local government plays
a role but there are a number
of other providers who can
support employers who are
willing to take on migrants
and refugees in their work-
place.”
Some attendees also
shared their personal ex-
periences with the SHEV
scheme. Medhi Mohammed,
a member of the Pakistani
Hazara minority, came to
Australia four years ago and
was unable to find a job for
the first year after moving to
Ballarat. He said Ballarat has
a job problem.
“We need to work togeth-
er to create opportunities
and employers need to give
them a chance. We face a
problem that we won’t get
hired because of language,
background and a lack of
experience,” he said.

Police swoop on suspects

Arrests made in
anti-burglary blitz

‘‘
BY DERRICK KRUSCHE

BALLARAT police have

made two major arrests this
week as part of an investi-
gation into aggravated bur-
glaries and car thefts across
the city.
It comes after the force
called on residents to help
prevent break-ins by ensur-
ing they lock up at night,
particularly around garages
and carports.
Leading Senior Consta-
ble Janine Walker said on
Wednesday the two alleged
offenders had been linked to
serious crime.
“They have been com-
mitting high volume crime,
including home burglaries,
aggravated burglaries, theft
of motor vehicles and theft
from motor vehicles,” she
said.
“It was really important for
us to get them off the streets,
and get them off the streets
as soon as possible.”
Leading Senior Constable
Walker, who has worked in
community crime preven-
tion for more than 10 years in
Ballarat, said residents could
take simple steps to stop ag-
gravated burglaries.

Burglars bide their time before striking

A COUPLE say they were
watched by thieves before
they pounced last Saturday
night, stealing more than
$40,000 worth of belongings.
Lucy* and her husband
had been packing up their
Warrenheip rental home on
the Western Freeway over
recent weeks, having bought
a house at Soldiers Hill.
Most of their belongings
were ready to be moved be-
fore they arrived at their old
house on Sunday morning
to find windows had been
smashed and a garage lock
had been drilled off.
“I think somebody had
been watching us and knew
we were in the process of
moving,” Lucy said.
“They came back that
night and took furniture,
jewelry, computers, laptop,
TV – between $40,000 and
$50,000 worth of stuff.”
On the cusp of moving into
their first home and starting
a new chapter of their lives,
the couple was left devastat-
ed.
Lucy said that detectives
had told them it would have
taken the thieves at least a
few hours to load up all of
what they took.
“I think people need to
be more vigilant, we need to
bring back Neighbourhood
Watch,” she said.
“Home invasions are rife
at the moment, and I think
people are blasé about it.”
Neighbourhood Watch
still exists in Ballarat and em-
barked upon a recruitment
push last year.
Community pages on
Facebook have also emerged
as a crime fighting tool.
Ballarat-based Inspector
Trevor Cornwill has previ-
ously said community Face-
book pages were a good way
to help police solve thefts
and find offenders.
"We definitely welcome
them as it helps us build in-
telligence," he said.
"I have a real concern
about people who don't re-
port crime."

Government
offers CFA
extra power
THE Victorian government
will hand over increased
powers to the CFA chief of-
ficer and support volunteer
brigades in a bid to get its
controversial fire reforms
through parliament.
An independent monitor
will also be created to over-
see the proposed changes
and keep an eye on volunteer
training and funding.
The proposed changes
come as the bill to make
the CFA volunteer-only and
establish a new, paid fire
service stalled in the upper
house from a lack of support
from the crossbench.
In a statement Emergency
Services Minister James Mer-
lino said there was a clear
need for change in the way
fire services were delivered
across the state.
“We want to modernise
our fire services while also
giving volunteers more sup-

‘Health system failed us’

Death could have
been prevented
BY ERIN WILLIAMS
A BALLARAT family says
they have been let down by
the public health system
after their son and brother
took his own life in a psychi-
atric unit.
Phillip Michell, 25, was
admitted as an involuntary
patient to Ballarat Health
Services' Adult Acute Unit on
June 26, 2015. He had a histo-
ry of mental health.
In the early hours of June
27, Mr Michell was found
hanging from his ensuite
door. He was revived but
died two weeks later.
At the Coroner’s Court at
Ballarat on Wednesday, cor-
oner Audrey Jamieson said
Mr Michell’s family were en-
titled to believe that, as an in-
voluntary patient at the AAU,
he would be closely moni-
tored and safe from harm.
The court was told coat
hooks were originally in-
tended to be placed on bath-
room walls, as opposed to
doors, during an AAU refur-
bishment in 2008 and 2009.
In presenting her findings,
Ms Jamieson said the loca-
tion of the coat hook on the
back of Mr Michell’s ensuite
door enabled him to take his
own life.
“It is concerning that the
hospital has not been able to
advise the court as to either
how or why the coat hooks
came to be placed on the
back of the ensuite doors,”
Ms Jamieson said.
She said the hospital was
to be commended on remov-
ing all of the coat hooks from
the AAU three days following
the incident.
Mr Michell was placed
on 15 minute nursing ob-
servations at the AAU. But
Ms Jamieson said there was
“clear and cogent evidence
that infrequent nursing
observations, that were con-
trary to BHS policies and
procedures, were of an inad-
equate form and quality, and
contributed to Phillip’s abili-
ty to initiate action to take his
own life”.
Ms Jamieson said she
found on the balance of
probabilities, that in the ab-
sence of the coat hook, Mr

been prevented. INQUEST: Maurice Blackburn medical negligence principal Dimitra Dubrow makes a statement on behalf of Phillip

Jury retires in case of 2015 fatal collision

THE Ballarat jury in the case
of New Year's Eve fatal crash
driver Gemma Sargent has
retired to consider its verdict.
Sargent,19, has pleaded
not guilty to four charges,
including culpable driving,
dangerous driving causing
death, negligently causing
serious injury and danger-
ous driving causing seri-
ous injury.
Nathaniel Merritt-Price,
19, was killed in the crash on
the Buninyong-Mt Mercer
Road on December 31, 2015.
County Court judge James
Montgomery told the jury
during his legal direction on
Wednesday there was no is-
sue the accused was driving
the car.
But in relation to the
culpable driving charge he
asked, "did the accused drive
in a way that was grossly neg-
ligent?".
He said a person's driving
must be grossly negligent
to be found guilty of culpa-
ble driving.
Judge Montgomery urged
the jury to consider some
factors in reaching a verdict,
including speed, weather
conditions, car width on the
road, other road users and
driver control.
“One of the factors you
have to consider here is the
speed. This is because it’s
possible for the accused to
have driven above the speed
limit but never driven with
gross negligence,” Judge
Montgomery said.
“You must find that it was
grossly negligent that caused
the deceased to die.”
Judge Montgomery told
the jury what mattered was
what a reasonable person,
aged 19, in Sargent’s situa-
tion would have done.
He told the jury Sargent
was young, a learner driver
and driving a mechanically
sound car.
The jury has heard from a
number of witnesses during
the four-day trial, including
the car’s three surviving pas-
sengers.
The trial will continue
on Thursday at the County
Court at Ballarat.

senior officer Benton Smith

"Any smoke is hazardous,
so we must respond," he said.
Police members also
attended the scene as CFA
crews contained the blaze.

A NEW firefighting hel-
icopter will be based at
Bacchus Marsh to protect
residents across the Ballarat
region ahead of another
fierce summer.
Speaking with The Courier
on Wednesday, Emergency
Management Commissioner
Craig Lapsley said the air-
craft would likely be similar
to Ballarat’s Kestrel helitack
346 (left), which is based in
the city over bushfire season.
These aircraft will be in-
cluded in a pre-determined
dispatch system, meaning
they will be deployed to
bushfires at the same time
as firefighters on the ground,
acting much like an ordinary
fire truck.
This is a big change from
the old system, where
ground crews had to reach
a fire first before deciding if
aircraft were needed.
Mr Lapsley said the new
helicopter would be capa-
ble of carrying around 1800
litres of water to help battle

Lapsley said. "People say, oh

this rain isn't significant for

"The forecasters look back

The level of bushfire risk

PM, Trump agree to High Court

pressure North Korea
MALCOLM Turnbull de-
clared Australia has Amer-
ica’s back while discussing
North Korea in a 30-minute
phone call with US Presi-
dent Donald Trump.
In a discussion de-
scribed as “warm and con-
structive”, the two leaders
agreed the regime repre-
sents a grave threat to re-
gional stability.
They said it was time
for the international com-
munity to exert maximum
diplomatic and economic
pressure, and that the can
cannot be kicked any fur-
ther down the road.
The prime minister and
Mr Trump agreed China is
the country with the great-
est leverage over North Ko-
rea and with that leverage
comes the greatest respon-
sibility.
They welcomed China’s
support for UN sanctions
and its efforts to increase
pressure on North Korea,
but agreed Beijing still
holds substantial econom-
ic influence which should
be used to bring the regime
to its senses and restore
stability on the Korean
peninsula.
“We will both continue
to encourage China to
bring more economic pres-
sure to bear on North Korea
to bring this regime to its
senses,” Mr Turnbull said.
The prime minister lat-
er told parliament “above
all” he and Mr Trump had
affirmed the US-Australia
alliance.
“(It’s) the bedrock of our
national security. We have
America’s back, America
has Australia’s back. We are
united,” he said.
The pair also discussed
the battle against Islamic
State in the Philippines and
the recent floods in Texas.
“I extended to the presi-
dent, as I have done previ-
ously, Australia’s sympathy
and, of course, we reflected
on our common experi-
ence in dealing with natu-
ral disasters,” Mr Turnbull
said.
The call came as De-
fence Minister Marise
Payne heads to Seoul for
talks with South Korean
officials, and Labor leader
Bill Shorten and foreign af-
fairs spokeswoman Penny
Wong announced they
would also head to South

IT took nearly a year and

the prime minister’s court-
yard at Parliament House.
However, there was little
time to celebrate the indig-
enous activist’s pilgrimage
from Perth when a meet-
ing with Malcolm Turn-
bull soon turned tense on
Wednesday.
The 27-year-old, joined
by indigenous elders, pre-
sented a list of demands
that included plotting a
path to a treaty, an investi-
gation into family and child
services, disbanding the
Aboriginal Advisory Coun-
cil and abolishing cash-
less welfare management
cards.
Mr Turnbull listened to
the demands but defended
some of his government’s
policies, including the wel-
fare cards, saying indig-
enous leaders in Kalgoorlie
had spoken strongly in fa-
vour of them.
“They are all about pro-
tecting children and fami-
lies,” Mr Turnbull said.
That remark prompted

“You cannot get one

Mr Pryor did not think
there is an urgent need for

Advocates have argued

“The purpose of the
act is to provide a modest
contingency fund to pro-
vide for urgent and unfore-
seen expenditure,” he told
the full bench of the High
Court on Wednesday.
“It is not an appropria-

THE storming of a

its decision to scrap
Australia Day ceremonies

Seven men from the

chanting.
“Eventually they left

one even apologised for
disrupting the meeting,”

those who clicked on
it were redirected to
“an inappropriate adult

The school says it
started deleting the
emails, sent onTuesday,
from students’ accounts
as soon as it became
aware of the mistake.
“At the same time we
emailed all students
requesting that they do
not click on the link,”

Principal Stuart Johnston
said on Wednesday.
“We realise the gravity
of this error and are
deeply remorseful.”
JUDGE SAYS $70M MANUS
COMPO IS FAIR AMOUNT
AT least 1400 current
and former Manus Island
detainees should receive
their share of $70 million
in compensation before
the offshore immigration
detention centre closes
next month.
Victorian Supreme
Court Justice Cameron
Macaulay on Wednesday
approved the settlement
reached with the
Australian government
and operators of the
Manus Island Regional
Processing Centre. Some
detainees had objected
to the $70 million in
compensation being
too low, but Justice
Macaulay concluded it
was a fair amount.
“I am comfortably
satisfied that a figure
of $70 million to be
distributed without
deduction of costs
amongst participating

and reasonable sum,” he
said.

NEARLY 150,000 Rohingya
Muslims have fled My-

less than two weeks, after
the United Nations chief
warned there is a risk of
ethnic cleansing that could
destabilise the wider region.
Myanmar leader Aung
San Suu Kyi blamed “ter-
rorists” for “a huge iceberg
of misinformation” on the
violence in Rakhine state
but she made no mention
of the exodus of Rohingya
since violence broke out
there on August 25.
She has come under
increasing pressure from
countries with Muslim
populations, including In-
donesia, where thousands
led by Islamist groups
held a rally in Jakarta on
Wednesday, to demand
that diplomatic ties with
Buddhist-majority Myan-
mar be cut.
In a rare letter to the
UN Security Council on
Tuesday, Secretary-Gen-
eral Antonio Guterres ex-
pressed concern that the
violence in Rakhine could
spiral into a “humanitarian
catastrophe”.
Reuters reporters in the
impoverished Cox’s Bazar
region of neighbouring
Bangladesh have witnessed
boatloads of exhausted
Rohingya arriving near
the border village of
Shamlapur.
According to the lat-
est estimates issued by
UN workers operating in
Cox’s Bazar, arrivals in just
12 days stood at 146,000.
This brought to 233,000 the
total number of Rohingya
who have sought refuge
in Bangladesh since last
October.

the hatch shuts,” he said.
“Kim had been severely
hurt and was laying with
an intense bleeding.
There was a pool of
blood where she had
landed.”
He said he tried to bury
her at sea. On August
23, police identified a
headless female torso
that washed ashore in
Copenhagen as Ms Wall.
The cause of her death
has not been determined.

INSIGHT
Racking up
the cost of
indignity on
welfare card
D
RUG testing is just the start.
If you were going to make life
much more difficult for people
on welfare you'd want to be pretty
sure there was a point.
You'd want to trial the indignity, you'd
want to know that it helped.
The so-called cashless welfare card has
been tried before.
It was called the BasicsCard during the
Northern Territory intervention.
Back then 50 to 70 per cent of each pay-
ment was quarantined and put on a card.
A searing government-commissioned
evaluation of the $410 million program
could not find "any substantive evidence
of the program having significant changes
relative to its key policy objectives, including
changing people's behaviours".
There was no evidence of changes in
spending patterns, no evidence of any over-
all improvement in financial wellbeing and
no evidence of improvement in community
wellbeing, including for children.
The review found that, "rather than
building capacity and independence, for
many the program has acted to make people
more dependent on welfare".
Two years on from that review, the
government has tried it again.
This time as a trial of a "cashless welfare
card". The trial in the East Kimberley and
Ceduna in South Australia has seen an
extraordinary one in every seven transac-
tions declined, mainly because of "card user
errors" or insufficient funds. It makes using
the card potentially humiliating.
It's impossible to pay for bus fares,
school lunches, or goods bought from
other members of the community with the
cards. It's impossible to send gifts of money.
Anyone who wades through the 80 pages of
conditions will find they've agreed to hand
over their entire transaction history to the
Commonwealth, not that they have any
choice.

Blue Mountains fires were tipped to merge,
with the likelihood of property losses in the
hundreds or thousands, and the likelihood
of deaths. There were other fires burning
and a certainty of new outbreaks.
Commissioner Fitzsimmons and I realised
we needed urgent help, and thus started a
massive mobilisation of firefighting resourc-
es from across the nation. As we knew from
experience, our “Mexican” mates from Vic-

toria would do everything they could to help
us. Hundreds of men and women from the
CFA, MFB and DELWP, some of the world’s
most experienced, skilled firefighters, with
dozens of trucks, were on the ground waiting
that fateful Thursday. Luckily, early rain
prevented fires from running as predicted.
Still, the Victorians insisted on staying for
days, relieving exhausted NSW firefighters.
The firefighting fraternity is often referred
to as a family – a family of more than 300,000
men and women nationally, career and
volunteer, who have answered the call.
This nationwide family has watched events
unfold in Victoria over the last 18 months or
so with mounting concern and sadness. The
sadness comes from seeing our brothers and
sisters on the frontline in Victoria sometimes
pitched against each other, interventions
from governments, an inevitable sapping of
morale and the loss of some good people.
In my former role as president of our peak
body, the Australasian Fire & Emergency
Service Authorities Council, I was well
aware of the diversity of opinion. On one
point however, nearly everybody was agreed
– SOMETHING had to be done, and the
situation could not continue heading into
another potentially serious bushfire season.

So, when the government rang back for
my decision, I agreed to help. I did so in
the hope that I might be able to assist my
brothers and sisters, the people who had so
selflessly and readily helped NSW in times of
need, in a situation that seemed deadlocked.
Firefighters are passionate about what
they do, and their organisations. Because
of this, there are a variety of opinions about
the model that has been put forward. The
opinions are as diverse as the membership,
and while this can be healthy, it can also
lead to impasse and, at worst, stagnation.
Victoria can’t afford for this to happen.
The time for maintaining the status quo
has passed. What is needed right now to
start the journey and the healing? To give
this model a chance. Of course there is
uncertainty, even residual resentment and
anger among some. I suspect the majority of
firefighters however – volunteer and career –
just want to get on with what they do best.
Is it a perfect solution? Only time will tell.
For the sake of those who serve and protect
Victorian families, homes and infrastruc-
ture, please give the changes a chance and
let authorities get on with the job.

operational implementation committee.

OPINION: BENJAMIN HABIB
NORTH KOREA: WHAT ARE THE
OPTIONS?
There seems to be no outcome from this
crisis after North Korea’s sixth nuclear test
in which US power is enhanced. This adds
to the gravity of the Trump administration’s
impending response to the nuclear test. Let’s
walk through the possible scenarios.
If the US goes to war with North Korea, it
risks the lives of millions of people across
the region. US Secretary of Defence Jim Mat-
tis responded to the latest test with a threat
of an “effective and overwhelming military
response”. This is the kind of rhetorical
overreach that is undermining US regional
standing under the Trump administration.
There are high risks in any military action
against North Korea. There are essentially
no good options for compelling it with force.
As recently departed White House adviser
Steve Bannon said:
There’s no military solution [to North
Korea’s nuclear threats], forget it. Until
somebody solves the part of the equation
that shows me that ten million people in
Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from
conventional weapons, I don’t know what
you’re talking about, there’s no military
solution here, they got us. The US loses in
any war scenario, even though its combined
military forces with South Korea would
inevitably win such a conflict.
If the Trump administration talks tough
and doesn’t follow through, it leaves
America’s regional allies exposed – and gifts
China pole position in shaping relations in
northeast Asia.
North Korea’s nuclear-capable intercon-
tinental missiles increase the risk to the US
of defending South Korea and Japan in the
event of war. This undermines their govern-
ments’ faith in America’s security guarantee.
It does not help that the Trump administra-
tion has been slow to fill the ambassadorial
roles to South Korea and Japan. Any military
action that leads to an escalation to war risks
a North Korean artillery attack on Seoul,
and missile strikes on other targets in South

T MAY sound like its all been said
before when it comes to preventative
crime strategies. And when the crime
stats come rolling in its as if we are
hearing a repeat of last year’s news. This
sense of repetition can dull people to the
single greatest expedient that would have
a powerful influence on crime and that
is individual awareness and action. With
lower level crime like theft of and from cars
and burglary this sense of indifference is
sometimes only shaken when the blithe
household itself becomes a victim.
One of the prominent growing figures that
continues to generate its fair share of atten-
tion and woe around Ballarat is car theft.
Not content with breaking into or hot-wiring
cars, police continue to report more of these
house thefts are committed specifically
to enter people’s house to steal car keys.
Where to next? The thought of a nuclear armed North Korea was once unthinkable but
what are the options short of full scale war?
Korea, Japan and further afield.
North Korea is more likely to use nuclear
weapons if backed into a corner and the
perpetuation of the Kim regime was directly
threatened. US alliances with South Korea
and Japan would come under great stress if
they were attacked, given they are in place
to prevent such an occurrence. If sanctions
continue to be ineffectual, North Korea
completes its end-run to having a deploya-
ble nuclear weapons capability.
This outcome undermines the nuclear
nonproliferation regime. North Korea’s
successful nuclear weapons development
weakens this system by serving as an exam-
ple to other would-be proliferators that they
can develop nuclear weapons without any
meaningful consequences – the ineffectual
economic sanctions regime notwithstand-
ing. This outcome will also demonstrate
the US cannot prevent a determined
nuclear proliferator from undermining its
nuclear hegemony. Nuclear monopoly,
underpinned by the limit on the number of
countries with nuclear weapons built into
Thursday September 07, 2017
Much if this is reckless theft of opportunity,
sometimes connected to drug use and more
often than not committed by young people.
Again it points us back to the same small
group of offenders and a recurring problem
where our recidivist delinquents cause a
wildly disproportionate amount of damage
and upset in the community while draining
unequal amounts of police resources.
This much has been said before; aggravat-
ed burglary particularly when it is predom-
inantly non-confrontational, may not seem
alarming but it is certainly offensive enough
for anyone who has found someone in their
house.
The police continue to set down some
strong guidelines on how to minimise the
risk; locking your cars in the garage as well
on the street, locking garage doors and po-
tentially doors that communicate between
the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, is one
of the pillars underpinning US global power.
The “nuclear shadow” cast by countries with
nuclear weapons provides them with greater
leverage dealing with the US and narrows it’s
menu of choice for exercising power.
If the US threatens to squeeze China
as a path to influencing North Korea, it
risks a trade war it inevitably loses. Trump
has tweeted that the US “is considering,
in addition to other options, stopping all
trade with any country doing business with
North Korea”. There have also been calls to
urge China to embargo crude oil deliveries
to North Korea to further squeeze the Kim
regime. However, the US consumes Chinese
imports to the tune of US$463 billion worth
of goods. Risking global recession through a
foolish protectionist spiral is not a credible
strategy for soliciting Chinese assistance
with handling North Korea.
In the unlikely event the US negotiates a
nuclear freeze with North Korea, it simply
kicks the can down the road. Talks with
North Korea may be the least-worst option.

the house and garage. There might even
need to be some consideration into just
where the keys are stored. Today’s example
adds a barking dog and the perfect combi-
nation of deterrents to make it just too hard
for what are essentially lazy thieves. Great
lessons for all to share.
Police are throwing resources at this and
having some success in catching alleged
repeat offenders but for every policeman
there are a thousand residents. Thousands
of hands making it harder for thieves and
thousands of eyes watching what they do.
The village well has changed into social
media and the speed and dynamism of this
vigilance can be unstoppable.
The crime is driven by opportunity, we
have the power as a community to radically
reduce it long before the pain and trauma
occurs. Isn't that what we all want?
.
THE Kim regime may agree to a nuclear
weapons development and production
freeze, or a missile testing moratorium to
buy time. But given the importance of nu-
clear weapons to Kim Jong-un’s Byungjin
development model (simultaneous nuclear
weapons proliferation and economic
development) to his domestic legitimacy,
and North Korea’s long history of coercive
bargaining tactics in which it engineers
crises to obtain concessions in exchange
for de-escalation, this could only be a
postponement of North Korea’s inevitable
proliferation success.
The problem with the negotiation gambit is
that there is no mutually agreeable starting
point.There is no outcome in which the
regime willingly relinquishes its nuclear
weapons program because the Kim regime
is so heavily invested in nuclear weapons
as the foundation of its security strategy,
economic development pathway. and
domestic political legitimacy.
If the US sits down to negotiate a peace
treaty with North Korea, its regional
prestige will be forever damaged – and
the raison d'être of its military presence in
South Korea will evaporate.
Another avenue for negotiations to
progress may arise once North Korea
has perfected and deployed its nuclear
weapons capability.
At this time, North Korea may call on the
US to negotiate a security guarantee and
a formal conclusion to the Korean War,
which remains technically alive since the
1953 Armistice Agreement.
Yet such an agreement might be the least
worrying option available to theTrump
administration, given the unpalatability of
other options. It seems likely that regional
countries will ultimately have to find a way
to manage a nuclear North Korea.
There are no avenues for theTrump
administration to demonstrate strength
and resolve that do not ultimately expose
the limitations of that strength.
The North Korea crisis is the most obvious
face of hegemonic transition.Trump’s US
is facing a set of outcomes to the current
crisis that are lose-lose.They are exposing
the reality of US decline and the growing
limitations of its ability to shape the strate-
gic environment in northeast Asia.

MUSICAL: Melbourne Symphony Orchestra cellist Nick Bochner introduces Canadian Lead Primary pupils to the string section. Picture: Lachlan Bence
Symphony at school
BY MICHELLE SMITH
MELBOURNE Symphony
Orchestra has brought a taste
of big music to the pupils
of Canadian Lead Prima-
ry School.
Members from each of the
orchestra’s sections – wind,
brass, string and percus-
sion – introduced the young
music fans to the world of
orchestral music during
a workshop.
The regional workshop
tour comes ahead of a full
Melbourne Symphony Or-
chestra performance at Wen-
douree Performing Arts Cen-
tre next month, followed the
next day by a performance
for local schools.
MSO Education senior
manager Jennifer Lang said
the school workshops and
regional tour were part of a
move to shift the focus of the
orchestra from Melbourne to
the whole state of Victoria.
“This is part of MSO’s com-
mitment to having a wider
regional footprint,” she said.
“There is a real transition
going on from being an or-
chestra of Melbourne to be-
ing an orchestra of the state.”
When MSO managing di-
rector Sophie Galaise joined
the organisation about 18
months ago she established

four commitments for the
orchestra, with two of those
involving community en-
gagement and being a cham-
pion of music education.
“We are really hoping that
this will be an opportunity
for them to have their first
introduction to the full or-
chestra and to some really
rich and wonderful reper-
toire,” Ms Lang said.
“We introduce them to the
sections of the orchestra so
they get their first introduc-
tion to wind, brass, string
and percussion and the con-
cept of composition.”
Also travelling with the
orchestra members for work-
runaustralia.com.au
shops is indigenous artist
and composer Eric Avery
who has written a piece
called Yananha for use in
the school workshops. Ms
Lang said the work used the
indigenous languages of the
areas where the orchestra
was travelling to and allowed
children to engage and sing
to the music.
“It’s also about accessib-
lity and ensuring children
are supported to develop a
love of music in the future,
and giving them a chance
to listen to a range of differ-
ent music.
“Orchestras, because of
their size and expense, are a
relatively rare delight so to be
able to bring that out in to the
regions is wonderful.”
The MSO will perform one
concert in Ballarat this year,
and two next year at Her Maj-
esty’s Theatre.
The October 16 concert
will feature British clarinet
virtuoso Michael Collins
who will perform a series of
works including Ornamental
Air, written for him by MSO
composer in residence Elena
Kats-Chernin. Also on the
program is Dvorak’s Sere-
nade for Winds, one of Men-
delssohn’s Konzertstück,

Setbacks turn into opportunities
The ABC can’t catch a
break right now, so why
is it not championing
the relaunch of its
storied science show?
By Craig Mathieson.
S
creening on Tuesday at 8.30pm, the
fifth episode of the newly reformed
ABC science show Catalyst is titled
“Heartbeat: The Miracle Inside You”.
Presented by leading Australian heart
surgeon Dr Nikki Stamp, the show’s synopsis
– it’s not yet available for preview – refers
to time spent inside the operating room, the
medical stories of Stamp’s patients and the
technologies changing heart surgery.
What will the hour-long edition about the
body’s most vital organ almost certainly
not feature? Any reporting that questions
the link between saturated fats, cholesterol
and heart disease. That was the highly
controversial subject of two Catalyst episodes
in October 2013, “Hearts of the Matter, Parts 1
and 2”, which damaged the show’s reputation.
Criticised by the National Heart Foundation,
they were subsequently removed from the
ABC’s website and were the subject of an
internal review that found fault with the
second episode.
Any sense that the series, which has been
on air since 2001 (and has a storied heritage
that stretches back to 1985 thanks to its
predecessor Quantum), had suffered a one-off
misfire was scuttled by further condemnation
in February 2016. The “Wi-Fried?” episode
claimed a link between the electromagnetic
radiation from mobile phones and an

rejected by scientists and usually consigned to
the fringes.

he story so far (and a spoiler alert if you
haven’t seen season one: stop reading
now and start watching it on Netflix).
When we left the paranormal drama Glitch
at the end of its first season, Yoorana police
chief James Hayes (Patrick Brammall) had
just witnessed the delivery of his first child.
His wife, Sarah (Emily Barclay), barely
survived the birth – or had she?
The arrival capped off one helluva week for
the small-town senior constable, which began
one dark night when six people rose from
their graves in the local cemetery, naked and
confused, but otherwise apparently perfectly
healthy. Among them was James’s first wife,
Kate (Emma Booth). Their emergence was
secretly witnessed by teenaged Beau (Aaron
McGrath), and James quickly called in the
town doctor, Elishia McKellear (Genevieve
O’Reilly), to help him protect the Risen and to
try to figure out what was going on. Then, at
the end of the season, as she fled town, James
discovered that apparently Dr Elishia had
died years earlier.
A deft and intriguing blend of character
drama and super-natural mystery, Glitch
offered suspense and what Brammall has

reporter Dr Maryanne Demasi followed,
but more broadly the show itself was placed
under internal ABC review. It wasn’t certain
if Catalyst would return at all, but it was
relaunched – with very little fanfare – during
National Science Week, replacing the
magazine format with extended single topic
editions.
The new structure – and presumably
tighter editorial guidelines – is just taking
shape, but the first three episodes suggest
that the ABC has used the setbacks to
refocus Catalyst. The approach appears to be
mainstream broad in concept but executed
by reputable experts. Beginning with the first
episode “Meet the Avatars”: a look at the
evolution of virtual reality co-developed and
called the “impossible triangle” between
James, Sarah and Kate. In addition, as some
of the Risen, including World War I soldier
Charlie (Sean Keenan) and Yoorana founding
father Paddy (Ned Dennehy), began to
experience flashes of memory – glitches – and
to remember who they were, a perspective on
several chapters of history began to emerge.
The exception was John Doe (Rodger Corser),
whose past remained a blank.
The spooky, constantly surprising and at
times heart-wrenching opening season, which
screened here in 2015, was named by The
New York Times as one of top 10 international
shows of 2016. It was picked up by Netflix for
global distribution and the streaming service
became a co-producer with the ABC on the
second season. As well as offering the show
to a global audience, its algorithm placing
Glitch alongside series such as The OA and
Stranger Things, the Netflix investment
afforded more time for production: “We
could shoot for longer,” says showrunner
Louise Fox, who created the series with Tony
Ayres. “We had an extra day an episode.
What we pulled off last time was ridiculously
crazy. We had a normal drama schedule,
presented by biomedical engineer Dr Jordan
Nguyen, the reporters are careful to qualify
anything contentious or theoretical, but
they’re also confident and informative.
Under these new parameters, with
episodes produced in-house as well as local
and international co-productions, science is
viewed as a means of future possibility, not a
tool for challenging the accepted norm. “Don’t
worry, this isn’t a gloom and doom film,” says
the academic and writer Tim Flannery by
way of introducing “Can Seaweed Save the
World?” “This is about solutions.”
Flannery was true to his word. The episode
readily acknowledged the widening global
issue of climate change, but the focus was on
the potential solutions that revolved around

but a normal drama is three people talking
in a room, and sometimes they get in a car
and drive to a cafe. “Glitch had CGI, stunts,
period flashbacks, prosthetics, car chases,
every episode was crushed full. And shot on
location, using international actors. To put all
of that into an Australian drama schedule was
very difficult.”
The second season picks up minutes after
the end of the first, with James still at the
hospital and torn between responsibilities to
his wife, the Risen and the town. Again, the
drama plays out in a compressed time frame,
over several days, which heightens the sense
of urgency. “It’s still very much mystery, but
this season operates more like a thriller,” says
Fox. “There are new antagonists and they’re
very powerful, so the threat and the darkness

seaweed, from its use as feed in commercial
farmed seafood and reduction in methane
emission from cattle to the possibility of mass
carbon storage through ocean seaweed farms.
Flannery was excited by the flowering of
seaweed’s commercial and scientific uses, not
alarmed by climate change’s damage to the
environment.
There’s nothing dry about the tone, with
an effort made to avoid antiseptic labs or
workplace interviews. Sometimes that’s
excessively pursued. “Closing In: The Hunt for
Alien Life” had presenter Dr Graham Phillips,
a Catalyst veteran, debating the existence of
intelligent extra-terrestrial life with two fellow
astrophysicists over a barbecue. Their back
and forth was enjoyable enough without shots
of tongs turning sizzling snags to promote a
relaxed vibe.
Phillips’ on-air experience shone through
compared with, say, Nguyen, who doesn’t
yet have the presenter’s knack of pitching
even a boilerplate line with purposeful intent.
But using experts instead of a small stable
of presenters does allow for diversity, an
idea that the show will hopefully pursue.
Nguyen’s VR episode also had a terrific
sequence where he briefed volunteers on
an experiment they were to undertake,
and the mix of people actually resembled
contemporary Australia.
By commissioning outside creative talent
well in advance – the terrific documentary
filmmaker Anna Broinowski (Forbidden Lies)
writes and directs “Heartbeat: The Miracle
Inside You” – Catalyst foregoes the ability
to react to the news cycle. There’s also a
question mark over whether the hour-long
format will necessitate only covering topics
sizeable in scope. Nonetheless, the program
has made a welcome and well-earnt return.
The ABC should let people know.

are more palpable. You don’t have to do the
set-up in the same way that you do in season
one, so we hit the ground running, we don’t
take a breath.”
The momentum is so intense that Brammall
says he thinks of his character “pin-balling
around the town. He’s trying to find out who
Elishia is, and that sends him on a chase that
produces lots of other questions. He’s worried
about whether his baby is OK, and is Sarah
OK? That’s a huge question for him: does
she have post-natal depression, or is there
something more sinister at work? And then
there’s another guy, Owen (Luke Arnold), who
rolls on to the scene and is sniffing around
Kate, and who makes the impossible triangle
an impossible parallelogram. James has set
himself an impossible task, to protect these
people and to solve the situation, but it’s kind
of an unsolvable situation.”
For Fox, who’s specialised in character
drama (Love My Way, Broadchurch), the
move into the sci-fi genre territory of Glitch
offered fresh possibilities for playing with
her primary interests. “I’m a drama writer,”
she says. “I can’t imagine writing genre that
doesn’t come from character. I can go and
see any Marvel movie if I want to watch car
chases and sci-fi, but it doesn’t do anything
for me. I don’t connect. I like this because
it’s a very good form for putting characters
under pressure. It’s not kitchen-sink drama:
the stakes are high, it’s life-and-death all the
time, it’s big ideas, it’s big emotions, it’s big
dilemmas. If you can make that seem real,
you’ve got amazing capacity for drama.”

Turning the clock

back to the sexual
revolution of ’70s
For star Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Deuce is “a great
platform to explore women and our relationship to
power, art, money and sex”. By Michael Idato.

I
n the hectic world of the HBO drama The
Deuce, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Candy Merrell
stands as a woman ahead of her time: a
working girl who isn’t defined by the world in
which she finds herself, but by the world she
hopes to build for herself and her child.
“It’s become clear to all of us that we live
in a world that’s full of misogyny, [and] that I
think we thought we had moved further than
we have,” she says. “So playing a prostitute
who ultimately gets involved in pornography
is a very interesting perspective from which
to explore women and our relationship to
power, to art, to money, to sex.
“Candy says it explicitly in the first episode,
she says, this is my job, this is not the entirety
of who I am.
“You see her intellectual life, you deeply see
her artistic life, you see her sexual life, you see
her as a mum, you see her as a daughter. You
see her as a full person.”
The Deuce, the story of how the mob,
massage parlours and the emerging porn
industry intersected in New York in the
early 1970s, also stars James Franco, as twin
brothers Vincent and Frankie Martino, who
become proxies for the mob in Times Square.
Created by David Simon and his long-time
collaborator George Pelecanos, the series can
trace its origin to an earlier project, Treme,
which was filmed in New Orleans. A colleague
at that time told them the story of man in
New York he knew who had lived through the
events now fictionalised in The Deuce.
“We heard that and we thought, ‘We
don’t want to do a porn show’,” Simon says,
laughing. “We went up to New York for some
editing on [Treme] and we met this guy and
he started telling us stories. Three hours later
George and I walked out of the meeting and
we said, we are going to have to do a porn
show because the stories were so compelling.”
The story of The Deuce pivots on the legal
system’s inability – or unwillingness – to
quantify what pornography was, Simon says.
“There’s a moment where the rules
changed, so one moment you weren’t allowed
to do things and then the next moment you
were,” he says.
“And the money and the human beings
arrayed themselves around that new truth.
“Was the country ready for that kind of
libertarian notion of we are not going to judge
this anymore? Apparently, because we did it
and this is what the courts felt comfortable
saying in 1972 that they never would have
felt comfortable in 1952. But that was the
moment.” It is, he adds, a powerful statement
on “free market capitalism”.
For Gyllenhaal, the series tells a feminist
story though that might not be immediately
apparent.
She says it offers, she says, a chance
to reflect on how women “have to twist
themselves in order to feed themselves the
things they need to stay alive intellectually,
artistically, sexually, whatever, emotionally”.
Initially, the series’ depiction of sexuality
is transactional, Gyllenhaal says. “For the
first episodes most of the sex you see is
performance, you see people going, I’m going
to dress like this because I need to make
this much money tonight and if I wear these
clothes, more people are going to pick me up.
“Then you get to see a different kind of
sex, sex that’s about female desire. And all
of a sudden [it] shifts all the other sex you
saw into relief. We’re so used to seeing sex
portrayed on TV and in bad TV and bad
movies. Here, in the middle of the piece, you
have the bottom drop out.”
For Gyllenhaal the appeal of Candy was
that she lives “in the dark side, and I think I’m
interested in the dark side”, she says. “But

Narcos picks up where Pablo left off

The death of Pablo
Escobar in the second
season of Narcos has
triggered an equally
compelling true-life story
about the Cali cartel,
writes Andrew Murfett.

I
n the 1990s, the Colombian city Cali
boomed courtesy of the drug trade. It was
an appropriately melodramatic demise.
Yet the death of Pablo Escobar, a fitting coda
for the second season of Narcos, by no means
denoted the conclusion of the series itself.
Still, the newly-launched third season of
Netflix’s blockbuster Colombian crime drama
is something of a reboot, chronicling the Cali
Cartel, the crime cadre who spectacularly
superseded Escobar’s cocaine conglomerate.
Narcos’ previous two seasons recounted
Escobar’s entrance into the cocaine business,
his callous domination and his final descent. It
became a huge, worldwide hit.
While Escobar, deftly played by Brazilian
Wagner Moura, was the indisputable headline
act, the US agents chasing him were equally
important to the narrative.
One agent, Javier Pena (Chilean-American
actor Pedro Pascal), helps link Escobar’s
death with the Cali Cartel’s growth. Like most
Narcos characters, Pena is a real-life person
and a series consultant.
Pascal’s breakout performance gave the
show’s producers an easy decision when they
decided who would be the fundamental bridge
from season two.
Pascal himself was stunned to be invited
back.
“I was shocked,” he says. “Because we were
very much part of the Escobar outline. It
was interesting stepping back into familiar
territory and also for it to be brand new at the
same time.”
Co-executive producer and director Andres
Baiz says Narcos’ post-Escobar continuance
was plotted midway through last year’s
season.
“We were clear it would be the Cali Cartel,”
he says. “I’m from the town of Cali. I lived my
teenage years through this. It’s an interesting
and complex story.”
The show’s writers leaned heavily on At
The Devil’s Table, an eminently readable book
from veteran LA Times reporter Bill Rempel.
Rempel’s key source was Cali’s head of
security Jorge Salcedo, another season three
player, who spoke to Rempel for more than
10 years while he cooled his heels in witness
protection.
“Jorge’s stories were wonderful but they
did not have a beginning, middle or end for
DEA agent Javier Pena (Pedro Pascal) is back on the case in season three of Narcos.
storytelling purposes,” Rempel says.
A key breakthrough in verifying Salcedo’s
yarns came in 2009. With the Cali Cartel’s key
figures (spoiler alert) either incarcerated or
deceased, the US granted him permission to
speak with DEA agents.
To Rempel’s great relief, the story
surpassed even what he had.
“For a storyteller, it was heaven.”
One of the agents he spoke to was Chris
Fiestl, played by Michael Stahl-David in
season three.
Fiestl relocated to Colombia from Miami in
1994. What he found astounded him.
“This was the most powerful crime
syndicate in history,” he says.
The Cali Cartlel began essentially in the
late-1960s when two brothers, Robert and
Miguel Rodriguez, formed a kidnapping
syndicate. They parlayed their ransom hauls
into marijuana trafficking before ascertaining
cocaine would be more profitable. An
associate, Helmer ‘Pacho’ Herrera, was sent
to New York to establish a drug distribution
and money laundering operation.
“They were discreet with their killings.
They wore suits and ties and envisioned
themselves as a Fortune 500 company,”
Fiestl says.
They expanded with jaw-dropping
efficiency, controlling drug markets in every
major US city, eventually claiming 85-90 per
cent of the US cocaine market. “They deemed
themselves to be legitimate businessmen,”
Fiestl says, adding that they ran 400 ‘legal’
storefronts, employed 4000 people and owned
6000 properties. Post-North American Free
Trade Agreement, they would gut Boeing
727s, fill them with cocaine, fly them to
clandestine Mexican airstrips and truck it
over the border.
The series emphatically depicts the human
costs of this success.
Spanish actor Miguel Angel Silvestre says
his character, Franklin Jurado, was an orphan
adopted by the cartel and eventually sent to
study at Harvard, where he completed two
degrees and began laundering cartel money.
“They invested in him and he gave them so
many profits,” he says. “He was looking for a
family but became a victim of greed and the
need to be somebody.”
Arturo Castro, a Guatemalan who plays
David, a sociopathic son of the Rodriguez
brothers, says the show does not glamorise
the cartel.
“It never ends well for anybody,” he says.
Although Narcos garnered a massive
following worldwide, in Colombia it has had
some detractors who cringe at the cast’s non-
native actors and their country’s enduring
reputation.
“People are tired of that cocaine
stereotype,” Baiz says. “But Narcos shows the
world what we lived through: the problems
and conflicts, how much we struggled and
how many died.”
Baiz says growing up in Cali in the 1990s
was curious.
“The city was booming economically,” he
says. “We had one of the best soccer teams
in the world and we felt protected. But we
lived in a bubble … It was a fake reality. Every
sector in the community was involved with
trafficking. When it infiltrates society, values
disappear.”
Cali is a colorful, two-million strong
metropolis renowned as the world capital of
Salsa music; Baiz shoots his hometown with a
distinctive vibrancy.
“The visual experience of the show is one
reason it works. That’s because we shot
there and we have Latin American directors
committed to authenticity.”
Archival footage is also included to
authenticate that the seemingly unbelievable
events recreated are based on true stories.
“It gives it gravitas and authenticity,” Baiz
says. “We try not to deviate from the facts.
That’s the objective. There’s a lot of reality.”

The Deuce
Monday, 11.30am and 8.30pm, Showcase
R
ecent costume dramas set in
1970s New York (Vinyl, The
Get Down) have sometimes
felt mainly like an excuse to go mad
with leather jackets, fur coats, afros
and piles of cocaine.
But with The Wire’s David Simon
and his long-time collaborator
George Pelecanos at the helm of this
one you can be sure it’s going to be a
bit different – a serious and almost
stately production that will pick
apart an entire seedy ecosystem at
its own pace.
Indeed, while The Deuce is being
billed – beneath the names of James
Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal – as
a kind of history of the ’70s porn
boom, pornography is almost
peripheral in the early episodes.
In this feature-length pilot
directed by Michelle MacLaren
(Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones),
it’s present only in the film titles
on the marquees outside the grimy
cinemas around Times Square.

Little Boy Blue
Monday, 8.30pm, Prime7
This British mini-series follows a
distressing murder case from the
dual viewpoints of a broken family
and the team of cops investigating
the crime – in similar fashion
to the acclaimed Broadchurch.
But what makes Little Boy Blue
an even more devastating and
visceral viewing experience is
that it’s based on a real-life case;
even the names here are those of
the real victim, his family and the
perpetrators.
Eleven-year-old Rhys Jones was
shot dead in Liverpool in 2007
when he was inadvertently caught
up in a gang feud at football
training.
His murder attracted national
attention but it hit Liverpool
particularly hard, especially as
what should have been a clear-cut
case – the shooter’s identity was
widely known in the city – became
increasingly difficult due to a lack

the superbly acted series had not
just the blessing of Rhys’ parents,
Steve and Mel Jones, but their
hands-on involvement. They
read the script, gave input and
even met the actors, including
the extraordinary Sinead Keenan
(Being Human), whose portrayal
of a grieving mother will have
you reaching for the tissues in
the first 15 minutes, and Brian F.
O’Byrne (best known for his US
film work) as dad Steve, whose
grief is considerably quieter, but
nonetheless as affecting.
As the city of Liverpool united
in shock and grief, the cops

affected as well – the prolific actor
Stephen Graham (best known,
perhaps for Boardwalk Empire and
more recently Taboo) plays the DSI
who led the case, Dave “Ned” Kelly,
whose emotional involvement
went beyond his duty (the real
Kelly remains in contact with the
At this point The Deuce focuses
mostly on the street-level sex trade
in that part of Manhattan.
Many viewers will find that focus
too soft. Whether it’s the innocent-
looking Lori (Emily Meade) fresh
off the bus from Minnesota, or
independent sex worker Candy
(Gyllenhaal) telling a circling pimp
to get lost, it feels as though we’re
being asked to believe that they and
the show’s other women have little
to fear as long as they maintain a
sharp tongue and a sassy attitude.
The oppressive male menace that
so pervades shows such as Top of
the Lake is almost entirely absent.
Even when smooth-talking pimp
CC (Gary Carr) commits a shocking
act of violence against one of his
women, the horror quickly recedes
and there is little subsequent
challenge to the pimps’ portrayal of
themselves as altruistic souls whose
main concern is women’s welfare.

Joneses to this day). While there’s
an element of police procedural
here – all convincingly re-created,
and lacking the over-stylised sets
and design so often present in
gritty crime dramas – Little Boy
Blue is more concerned with the
grief that follows an ordinary
family’s lives being shattered by
an extraordinary event, and a
community uniting in its aftermath.
Rhys was football mad – we
see his Everton FC adorned
bedroom, and the Jones’ backyard,
essentially a mini-football field –
and in football-centric Liverpool,
football ground tributes, held
before a match before thousands
of local fans, are common. For
the series, Everton FC allowed a
reconstruction of the real tribute
to Rhys Jones that took place a
decade ago; at a recent match,
a crowd of 39,000 (among
them, reportedly, the real Steve
and Owen Jones – Rhys’s dad
and brother and, likely, many
Liverpudlians who remember
the crime itself), gave up their
half-time to reconstruct a moving
round of applause for Rhys,
requested by the family instead of
a minute’s silence.
The scene is one of many which
make for gut-wrenching viewing,
although perhaps none as much
as the real-time scene where
Mel is driven to the scene of the
shooting, pushing through a crowd
to reach her dying son, all shot on
hand-held cameras. It’s compelling,
tough viewing, but Little Boy Blue
also includes some hope and,
ultimately, justice for young Rhys.

So you suppose Daniel Defoe was
aware of existential ideas when
he cranked out his masterpiece
Robinson Crusoe in 1719?
Said by some to be the first
English realist novel, it’s a story of
survival – practical and emotional
– in the face of deprivation,
desolation and despair.
Hope and the necessities
of sustaining life wither easily
under the futility of an existence
without deliverance. Motivation,
self-perpetuation and preservation
aren’t enough.
Nowadays we goggle at the
antics of contestants, selected
according to a formula designed
to deliver conflict and drama on
television game shows.
You know the drill: A hand-
picked group of attractive types
deposited in some exotic but
remote precinct and encouraged
to compete in various elimination
rituals for fabulous prizes. The
person most like Donald Trump
and most indoctrinated in the
methodology of the Harvard
School of Business Bastardry takes
home the requisite million dollars
… survival of the most ruthless.
What would extraterrestrials
make of our intelligence should
they monitor our digital TV signals.
And so to the surface of Mars,
As the show pulls back to reveal
the power structures – police,
criminal, political – that dominate
the landscape around them, it’s hard
to see how a little guy can hope to
get a break.
Of course, there’s something big
just around the corner.

of the Ares III Mars mission, US
astronaut Mark Watney (Matt

Watney is alone but his mission
commander Captain Melissa Lewis
(Jessica Chastain) is torn between
her sense of humanity and the
practicalities of obeying orders

necessary for her crew’s safe
return to Earth.
Like the USMC US Marine Corps

the policy of not leaving buddies
behind but mission biologist
Watney is left behind ... far from
home and decidedly forsaken in a
life-and-death struggle.
This being the movies, it’s almost
certain our man will survive. We’ve
seen too many films to not assume
as much from the off. But life is
fragile and a hostile environment
severely tests his ingenious
Earthling’s willpower and courage.
Humanity isn’t just courage
and good ol’ Yankee know-how
– there’s self-deprecation, irony
and even banter facilitated via
Watney’s video diary podcasts.

The Tick
Amazon Prime Video
Superhero stuff is perennially ripe
for a send-up.
The folks behind those big,
unkillable, multiplex-clogging
franchises might imagine that
they’re earning themselves a
pass by slipping in the odd self-
deprecating line here and there,
but that doesn’t cut it.
In the end it still boils down to
them wanting us to take them
seriously while they’re wearing
their undies on the outside.
And so even a send-up as utterly
silly as The Tick can end up being a
far more memorable piece of work,
with characters whose humanity,
vulnerability and downright
stupidity make them infinitely
more engaging than your average
lump of concrete in a moulded-
rubber suit.
The central figure is troubled
dweeb Arthur (Griffin Newman),
whose psyche was shattered as
a child when he saw his father
accidentally killed in an event in
which the superheroes he idolised
were blinded by weaponised
syphilis and then shot to death.
When the grown-up Arthur
suddenly starts seeing a hitherto-
unknown superhero who gets
around in a silly, bug-themed outfit
you might think that the poor
fellow is losing touch with reality
(one groovy musical allusion
to Fight Club certainly wants to
steer you in that direction). But
whatever the real nature of The
Tick might be, there’s no denying
that he’s a lantern-jawed dolt with
the strength of 15 men and a merry
enthusiasm for superhero tropes.
Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of
the Galaxy) invests the character
with an impenetrable, oblivious
optimism as he tries to turn Arthur
into his sidekick in his hunt for a
murderous supervillain (Jackie
Earle Haley).

This bloody pirate drama stamps
its authority all over the Caribbean
right from the word “Ahoy!”
The characters are big, the
stakes and the production values
are high, and the killing is intimate
and ugly.
The historical detail is all quite
interesting, particularly in the
way that the racially integrated
pirate crews are such ferociously
egalitarian outfits in which the
captain is a merely a provisional
first among equals and can be
given the heave-ho or worse
should he incur the crew’s
displeasure.
As series one begins, pirate
captain James Flint (Toby
Stephens) is incurring the
displeasure of his crew because
their bloody raids are yielding
little loot. BN

AUSTRALIA’S economic
growth has picked up pace
as governments and con-
sumers spend more, but soft
inflation and wages growth
will mean the central bank
will continue to hold off on
interest rate hikes.
The economy expanded
by 0.8 per cent in the June
quarter, taking annual
growth to 1.8 per cent, the
Australian Bureau of Statis-
tics said on Wednesday.
The rate of growth was
slightly weaker than ex-
pected, with economists
forecasting growth of 0.9
per cent in the quarter and
1.9 per cent for the year.
But June quarter’s growth
was a step up from a weath-
er affected rate of 0.3 per
cent in the March quarter.
Commonwealth Bank
chief economist Michael
Blythe said it was a solid out-
come considering the size-
Debbie early in the quarter.
“We have picked up dur-
ing the course of the year
and I think the RBA will be
happy with that sort of tra-
jectory,” he said.
“The annual growth will
pick up sharply in the third
quarter because we will be
dropping out that nega-

third quarter of last year.”

IN BRIEF
BIOTECH’S SHARES DROP
AS LICENSING DEAL ENDS
SHARES in biotech Acrux
have plummeted after
Acrux and US-based
pharmaceutical giant Eli
Lilly and Co agreed to
end their licensing deal
for Axiron, a testosterone
replacement therapy for
men.
Axiron was the first
testosterone replacement
product that could be
applied like a roll-on
deodorant on the armpit
of a patient.
Melbourne-based Acrux
secured a licensing deal
with Eli Lilly in 2010.
“Termination of the
licence in the US is
effective immediately
and termination of
licence outside the
US will be effective 90
days thereafter,” Acrux
said in a statement on
Wednesday. “Global
rights to the product will
revert to Acrux.”
Shares in Acrux were
down 7.5 cents, or 28.3
per cent, at 19 cents.
AUSSIE EXPORTERS SET
TO GET EASIER FINANCE
AUSTRALIAN exporters
seeking to grow their
businesses overseas
will get easier access to
taxpayer-funded loans
after new laws cleared
the Senate.
The legislation expands
the powers of the Export
Finance and Insurance
Corporation to allow
direct lending to a wider
range of small and
medium-sized businesses.
It provides loans to
exporters who are unable
to get finance from banks
to expand overseas.
The legislation cleared
the Senate on Wednesday
after the government
agreed to several Labor
amendments, meaning
the bill needs to go back
to the lower house for
approval.
“We need to foster
an environment where
Australia’s exporters can
grow,” Industry Minister
Arthur Sinodinos told
parliament.
EX-FINANCIAL PLANNER
ADMITS MISUSING $10M
A FORMER Brisbane
financial planner has
pleaded guilty to more
than 20 fraud charges
relating to the misuse of
about $10 million in former
clients’ self-managed
superannuation funds.
Bradley Thomas
Sherwin was arraigned
in the Brisbane District
Court on Wednesday,
where he pleaded guilty
to 24 counts of fraud
with a circumstance of
aggravation.
He also pleaded
guilty to one count of
dishonestly failing to
exercise his duties as a
company director.
Before his fortunes
turned, Sherwin was
the principal of Sherwin
Financial Planners and
chairman of Wickham
Securities, which both
folded in 2013 with a
combined $60 million
owing to creditors. The
matter was set down for
sentence on November 14.

Cobras unhappy at Darley

FOOTBALL
BY DAVID BREHAUT
BACCHUS Marsh coach
Travis Hodgson has criti-
cised decisions denying the
Cobras privileges for the Bal-
larat Football League second
semi-final that he believes
they should have as a right by
finishing higher than Darley.
Bacchus Marsh, which
finished second, meets the
Devils (third) at Darley Park
on Saturday.
The BFL announced be-
fore the top six was finalised
that all finals leading up
to the grand final at Mars
Stadium would be played at
the Eastern Oval and Dar-
ley Park.
Hodgson told a BFL fi-
nals press conference on
Wednesday that from a club
point of view the Cobras
would like to play the match
at its home ground Madding-
ley Park, but the rules did not
allow that to happen.
“Personally I am very dis-
appointed with the fact that
we finish higher and have to
play the opposition on their
ground and play out of the
away rooms, and they get the
home coaches’ box too.
“I have expressed that and
it’s not going to change now,
but I think integrity should
be above all else and any
other piss weak excuses as to
why we can’t have the home
rooms and coaches’ box.
“...I think it’s a poor look,”
Hodgson said.
He said Darley would be
hard to beat at Maddingley
Park or a neutral ground, but
it would be harder to beat
Darley at Darley Park.
Hodgson believes Bacchus
Marsh would take plenty of
confidence out of a win over
Darley at Darley.
“The confidence that
the players would take out
of it if able to do it would
be enormous.”
Darley match-day support
team member Shane Davies
said the Devils were looking
forward to have the block-
buster on their home patch.
“It’ll be great. It’s our home
ground...familiarity for the
players and supporters. I’m
sure it'll be a massive crowd.
Our boys can’t wait,” he said.
Darley and Bacchus Marsh
met at Darley Park in round
one, with the Devils upset-
ting the reigning premier.
Darley won by 19 points.
Bacchus Marsh avenged the
loss at home in round 15 by
64 points.
No matter who wins the
first and second semi-finals
this weekend, the BFL pre-
liminary final will be played
at the Eastern Oval on Satur-
day, September 16, with the
grand final at Mars Stadium
a week later. Travis Hodgson

Saudis force Socceroos into World Cup playoffs
SOCCER
THE Socceroos’ World
Cup nightmare has come
true after Saudi Arabia’s
1-0 win over Japan denied
them direct qualification
and forced them down the
arduous intercontinental
playoff route.
Australia needed a big
favour from Japan – either a
win or a draw in Jeddah on
Warner’s ton helps
Aussies build lead
CRICKET
BAD light has stopped play
on day three of the second
Test in Chittagong with
Australia on 9-377 in their
first innings, leading Bang-
ladesh by 72 runs.
Stumps were called on
Wednesday with 13 overs
remaining, after rain had
washed out the entire
morning session.
Australia’s innings had
been drawing to a close
with Steve O’Keefe unbeat-
en on eight and Nathan
Lyon yet to score.
The visitors squandered
the chance to build an im-
posing first-innings lead
after reaching 5-321 at tea,
with the middle order again
failing under pressure.
Matthew Wade’s dread-
ful form with the bat
continued when he was
trapped lbw on eight by a
ripping delivery from pace-
man Mustafizur Rahman.
The besieged wicket-
keeper quickly called for a
review but it was an act of
desperation, with replays
showing it was hitting leg
stump.

IN BRIEF
VENUS TWO WINS FROM FIRST ARGENTINA HELD TO A DRAW
HOME SLAM TITLE SINCE 2001 BY VENEZUELA IN QUALIFIER
VENUS Williams has
continued her remarkable
season by winning a
superb battle against Petra
Kvitova to reach the US
Open semi-finals for the
first time in seven years.
After final defeats at
the Australian Open and
Wimbledon, the 37-year-
old finds herself within
two victories of a first
grand slam title on home
soil since 2001.
She was pushed all the
way in a thrilling duel on
Wednesday morning – to
bail them out after Tuesday
night’s hollow 2-1 victory
over Thailand.
But substitute Fahad Al-
Muwallad’s 63rd-minute
goal capped off a frustrat-
ing night for Ange Posteco-
glou’s men, who will have
to do it the hard way to en-
sure a place at Russia 2018.

following over when he was
given out caught behind
after edging a delivery from
offspinner Mehedi Hasan
into his pads.
Pat Cummins then
shouldered arms to a Me-
hedi ball pitched well out-
side off stump which spun
sharply into his pads.
It was given not out but
Wednesday, eventually
prevailing 6-3 3-6 7-6 (7-2)
in a deciding tie-break
after two hours and 35
minutes.
“I’m so fortunate to
have won that match.
It came down to the
wire and I hope we have
more matches like that,”
Williams said.
Williams’ victory also
ensures she will return
to the top five in the
rankings for the first time
in six years.

in October – to book a spot
at a fourth straight World
Cup.
The winner of that will
go on to battle North and

showpiece.
Despite an incredible
45 shots on goal, the Soc-
ceroos couldn’t find the
Bangladesh successfully
reviewed and batsman Na-
sir Hossain sent Cummins
on his way, standing next
to umpire Nigel Llong and
mimicking his send-off.
The recalled Hilton Cart-
wright made it to 18 before
being dismissed with the
final ball before tea.
Rain washed out the
morning session as the
ARGENTINA came from
behind to draw 1-1 with
Venezuela at home on
Wednesday, a result
that leaves the 2014
losing finalists a long
way from guaranteeing
their place in Russia next
year.
The hosts had won
all six of their previous
home qualifiers against
Venezuela and were
expected to do the
same against the team
at the bottom of the
margin against Thailand at
AAMI Park that would have
seen them overtake the
Saudis on goal difference –
meaning a win by any score
for the home side would
have done the job.
A close-range shot from
Al-Muwallad in the 63rd
minute was all the Green
Falcons needed.
It relieved palpable ten-

BOMBERS
CALE Hooker appears least
likely of Essendon’s injured
trio to take on Sydney in
Saturday’s elimination final
at the SCG after failing to
train on Wednesday.
Orazio Fantasia (ham-
string) and Michael Hur-
ley (calf ) looked to have
overcome their injury con-
cerns and trained strongly
with the main group but
Hooker (calf) was a notable
absentee.
The forward did some
passing drills with a trainer
and spent time on the side-
lines talking to the team
doctor without joining
their match simulation.
Teammate Brendon
Goddard said Hooker had
done some non-weight
bearing running inside
and, given his value to the
team, he would be given
until the last minute to
prove his fitness.
“We’d like to have him
there and he’s doing eve-
rything he can,” Goddard
said.
“He’s running on the
Alter-G (anti-gravity tread-
mill) machine so we’ll get
a gauge of how he pulls up
from there.”
Goddard backed Hook-
er to be prepared for the
sudden death final even
without training this
week. However, he warned
against carrying an injured
player.

Williams prepared for idol threat

young gun Zac Williams
grew up idolising Eddie
Betts.
Come Thursday night’s
AFL finals opener at Ade-
laide Oval, Williams is likely
to be tasked with curtailing
the small forward who in-
spired him as a young In-
digenous Australian.
Williams still speaks with
a giddy sense of reverence
when asked about Adelaide
star Betts.
EXCITED: Giant Zac Williams. Picture: AAP It’s understandable.
Long before he devel-
oped into one of the league’s
most potent rebounding
defenders, Williams was
using his trademark pace
to hurt opposition sides all
over the field.
Betts was an inspira-
tion then, as he is now for
the 22-year-old who grew
up in the Riverina town of
Narrandera.
“I love watching him.
Every chance I get to watch
him on TV, I do it,” Williams
said.
“I’ve always looked up to
him.
“I used to go for Carlton
as a young bloke.
“I’ve watched his whole
career, watched him do
what he does best and kick
amazing goals.
“To get the opportu-
nity to play on him … it’s
unbelievable.”
GWS coach Leon Cam-
eron has already suggested
Williams, who was one of
the Giants’ best in their
season-opening loss to the
Crows, could spend time
on Betts.
“We really value Zac
Williams’ offensive game
but the last six weeks his
defence has really gone
through the roof,” Cam-
eron said last week, adding
Heath Shaw and Aidan Corr
were other options.
Williams admitted find-
ing the right balance of at-
tack and defence would
be tricky for whoever is re-
sponsible for the three-time
All-Australian forward.
“You always have to be
wary of what Eddie Betts is
doing. He’s a very classy for-
ward and if you don’t keep
an eye on him, he can easily
kick a bag,” Williams said.

Broken leg ends finals
series for Redan coach
BFL
BY DAVID BREHAUT
REDAN coach Brendan
Peace’s wretched run of inju-
ries continues with a broken
leg ending his Ballarat Foot-
ball League finals series.
Peace and the Lions
have been left stunned by
the setback.
He received a bump on a
calf in the third quarter of
Redan’s elimination final
win over Sunbury at the East-
ern Oval on Sunday.
He addressed players
post-match with ice strapped
to the leg, but there was no
suggestion or concerns of
a fracture.
Lions senior runner
Andrew Schiltz told a BFL
finals press conference on
Wednesday that Peace was a
massive loss.
“It’s unfortunate. No one
likes losing their on-field
leader,” he said.
Peace, who missed last
season after having a knee
reconstruction, has had an
interrupted year – playing
just the seven games.
He waited until round
six before making his first
appearance and then after a
handful of games was again
sidelined until round 16 with
soft tissue injuries.
Dean Mathews (calfs) is
in contention to return after
missing a couple of games.
Schiltz said Mathews
would be a great inclusion to
help cover the loss of Peace
and suspended Dean Ches-
ter, but would need to pass
a fitness test to play against
Lake Wendouree in Sunday’s
knockout first semi-final at
the Eastern Oval.
Angus Kirby (hamstring)

cern after leaving the ground

Gnjidic, City in talks
for next year’s top job
SOCCER
BY DANIEL SHORT
BALLARAT City coach Dan-
ny Gnjidic says he and the
club with go through the
necessary processes before
committing to next season.
Gnjidic, who joined City
this season, led a Ballarat
outfit that showed signs of
improvement despite a sev-
enth position ladder finish.
Gnjidic told The Courier the
2017 campaign was a pos-
itive one, evidenced by its
impressive mid-season form
which saw it occupy fourth
spot for a number of weeks.
However, Gnjidic said he
and the club would sit down
and discuss how it moves
forward. He did not antic-
ipate there would be any
reason for the two parties to
part ways but felt it was best
to thoroughly work through
the decision.
“We’ve got to sit down
and we’ve got to review the
season and look ahead and
decide if this is a relation-
ship that is going to suit both
parties. There’s nothing to
suggest that it won’t, but we
need to have that discus-
sion,” Gnjidic said.
“It’s really important for
me that on the field and off
the field...we’re all on the
same page.
“Sometimes these things
move slowly, and maybe
slower than some people
would like, but my job is to
look after the players.”
Gnjidic threw his support
behind the direction the club
and Ballarat as a whole was
taking in the regional soccer
landscape, declaring Ballarat
“the best” of all regional
clubs. Ballarat City will con-
tinue to play a key role in that
development.
“Given my experience in
the division, Ballarat has
always been, and proved to
me, that it is the best of the
regional clubs in dealing
with the challenges that all
regional clubs face.
“Our consistent perfor-
mances on the field with the
senior team suggests that,
our juniors are progress-
ing really well, our kids get
picked for state teams.
“The football culture in
Ballarat is positive, but it can
get better, and the club plays
a key role in that.”
Meanwhile, Gnjidic said
the club was “hopeful” it
would regain the services
of English striker Courtney
Austin next season.
Austin returned home for
family reasons after seven
games with City, but his class
up front would be crucial for
Ballarat’s aspirations to rise
up the ladder.
“He’s doing what he needs
to be doing back in the UK.
“He’s indicated that he’s
got a desire to come back.
We’re hopeful that that will
transpire...at his best he’s a
potential 15-20 goal forward
in this competition.
“His opportunities on a
professional basis are a lot
better over there than they
are here.
“Our real focus in the
off-season is retaining the
group and adding a little bit
of class, which is where we
were really lacking.”

TIGHT-LIPPED
Hepburn remains non-committal about ex-AFL star's selection

CHFL GRAND FINAL
BY DANIEL SHORT
HEPBURN coach Jason
Olver was tight-lipped on
the selection of former AFL
star Nick Dal Santo ahead of
Saturday’s Central Highlands
Football League grand final.
Olver would neither con-
firm nor deny whether Dal
Santo would line-up for the
Burras against Beaufort, but
he said the club did have
a verdict.
“You could say we’ve got
a verdict, but I’d like to keep
that one to myself,” Olver
said with a smile.
Olver may have been
keeping his cards close to
his chest, but he gave the
impression Dal Santo was a
likely starter.
Olver, who will coach his
final game for the club on
Saturday, said the club would
make the decision more pub-

could have on the wide ex-
panses of Mars Stadium.
You could say “I think Nick Dal Santo
would get a game in the

verdict...we’ll moment,” Olver joked.
“We know how good he is,
play it by ear. 326 AFL games and all the

that oval, he’s going to be
lic closer to the first bounce hard to stop. We’ll play it by
but there was no doubting ear and see how we go.”
the significant influence the Olver has previously stated
that Dal Santo would be right
to play in the grand final,
should Hepburn get that far.
After Dal Santo debuted
for Hepburn against Beau-
fort early in the season, Olver
kept his planned appearance
quiet for the following week-
end’s clash with Springbank.
Dal Santo shocked many
when he turned up at Wal-
lace and played in the Bur-
ras’ big win over the reigning
back-to-back premiers. Jason Olver
