Kerbside crime spree By Charlene Macaulay Phones, wallets, satellite navigation systems and sunglasses were among items taken in a Wyndham crime spree, during which almost 100 cars were broken into in just the first two weeks of this year. Wyndham police inspector Frank Sells said the Victoria Police ‘lock it or lose it’ message was just not getting through. Inspector Sells called on drivers to park their cars in garages or in well-lit areas whenever possible. He urged them to remove all valuables and lock cars every time they park. He said the thefts were occuring in suburban streets across the municipality.
‘‘
Jump in, boots and all After shedding 51.6 kilograms to win TV’s The Biggest Loser Loser, Hoppers Crossing’s Daniel Jofre says he and his family want to give back to the community by running free boot camps at Altona. Daniel weighed 132 kilograms when he entered the Channel 10 series with his uncle Rob, of Altona, and brothers Pablo and Tony, also of Hoppers Crossing. The Jofre family was also the biggest ‘losing’ family, dropping 208.6 kilograms among the four of them. Rob Jofre was named the biggest losing contestant, shedding 59.3 kilograms. Since the show ended more than six months ago, all four have kept the weight off and gained muscle tone. Rob says the boot camp idea eventuated because the family wanted to give something back. “One thing we learnt through our journey was that when we’re inspired, we inspire others, and we inspired each other in the competition,” he said. “The four of us kept each other on track, and we said we wanted to do the same thing for our family and our friends, so we decided to do something for the community free of charge.” Daniel said the boot camps would be suitable for all ages and fitness levels. “If there’s someone limited with injuries or fitness-wise, we change it for them,” he said. “If there’s kids, we do little games for them.” Pablo said their dramatic weight loss had changed their lives. “You feel great. It’s a new lease on life, and it’s fantastic.” Tony said the family wanted to align itself with a charity to reach out Australia-wide. “Hopefully, in future we can reach out to other towns as well.” The boot camps will run on the next two Sundays from 10am at Apex Reserve.

“Unlocked cars create a crime of opportunity, with offenders walking along the street trying door handles until one opens. “Mobile phones, money, wallets and purses left in full view make the car vulnerable to theft. “The theft of wallets and purses risks the identity of the victim being compromised and may also lead to credit or debit card fraud,” Inspector Sells said. “It’s not uncommon for the credit or debit card to be used a number of times before the victim is aware of the theft.” In one recent case, police arrested and charged a 32-year-old Werribee man with theft from a motor vehicle and committing an indictable offence while on bail. Police allege the man stole car keys and other personal items from an unlocked vehicle parked at a local business about 6.30am last Thursday. He was arrested later that day and remanded at an out-of-sessions court hearing. The stolen property has yet to be recovered. Crime prevention officer Craig McDonald said number plate thefts also remained a big problem across Wyndham. He said these thefts had been a particular problem around major shopping centres, such as Pacific Werribee, as well as for owners of cars parked at train stations. Leading Senior Constable McDonald said the only way to prevent number plate thefts was for drivers to replace the standard number plate screws with one-way security screws.

Queues keep their cool By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham council’s leisure centre reached maximum capacity during last week’s extreme heat for the fourth time since reopening its doors seven months ago. Locals trying to escape last Wednesday’s 42-degree heat queued outside AquaPulse – newly renovated at a cost of $54.4 million – for up to an hour waiting for other patrons to leave to gain entry after the centre reached capacity about noon. Patrons were encouraged to go to the Werribee outdoor pool, but that also reached capacity about 4pm. Both facilities were downgraded to “near capacity” at 6pm. Wyndham Leisure Services marketing and membership manager Sam Benfell said AquaPulse members were still able to enter
‘‘
They gave free water bottles to all those who were - Asma Amir waiting
’’
the centre during the maximum capacity period because the centre management always ensured “there is a buffer left for our members to gain entry”. Star Weekly invited locals to share their experience via the Star Weekly Facebook page last week. Asma Amir, who waited an hour to gain entry into AquaPulse on Wednesday, praised staff for looking after the patrons waiting at the front of the centre. “We had a very good experience,” Ms Amir wrote. “The AquaPulse team is really good – they gave free water bottles to all those
who were waiting outside and they provided shade area.” Jessica Mulcahy said she was not surprised the centre had reached capacity considering the extreme heat came during the school holiday period and the area’s growing population. “Safety of patrons at pools is always a priority because if it exceeds capacity then drownings can potentially be missed by our wonderful lifeguards,” Ms Mulcahy wrote. A couple of people took the council to task for spending $54.4 million to renovate the former Wyndham Leisure Centre. “Instead of wasting squillions on AquaPulse, they could have built three pools in Werribee and surrounding areas,” Ype Albertus Zee wrote. “Maybe not as fancy but more practical.”

Witness plea after stabbing Investigations are continuing into the stabbing of two teenagers at Werribee last Tuesday. Senior Constable Drew Corry said witnesses said a fight broke out in Werribee Park near the Werribee River about 2pm, which resulted in two males, aged 18 and 14, being stabbed. They were taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital with upper-body wounds before being discharged. Five men, said to be aged 15 to 18, were arrested, but no charges have been laid. Witness are being encouraged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Adem Saban
Defiant Kim proves the doctors wrong When Kim Jago was born, doctors told her parents she might not live to be a teenager. Forty-one years later, the Tarneit resident with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is still going strong. “I don’t see myself as having a condition,” she says. “I guess I do what I can, the best I can.” SMA is a genetic condition affecting the nerves that control muscle movement. In Kim’s case, the condition is debilitating and progressive and she has little movement below the neck. “There are definitely hurdles, but I’ll jump them,” she says. “I run a small business; everything is achievable if you do it your own way. I often tell my carers they’re not my mind. Yes, they’re my arms and legs, but that’s all.” When Kim met Sue Kull three years ago, she inspired her new friend without realising. Sue decided to embark on a 250-kilometre walk from Melbourne to Warrnambool to raise awareness and money for SMA, leaving on New Year’s Day and finishing last Friday. She has raised more than $2400. “I’d never heard of SMA until I met Kim,” Sue says. “I still don’t hear much about it.” “It needs a lot more awareness out there. “Kim’s dream is to make more people aware, so I was happy to help with that. She’s such an amazing person who celebrates every single day.” Sue is in the process of planning her next walk, from Melbourne to Bendigo, to raise funds for Alzheimer’s. Adem Saban Sue Kull, Kim Jago and Kim’s carer, Sue Jakovidis, begin the walk from Melbourne to Warrnambool. (Supplied)

Office jobs boom tipped in west By Adem Saban A proposed development in Williams Landing is expected to create about 13,000 white-collar jobs in the western suburbs over the next 15 years. Developer Cedar Woods will start work later this year on an employment hub to include 5000 square metres of office space, a 50-room hotel and shops. It is expected to be finished by 2031. Cedar Woods’ state manager Nathan Blackburne said the west was known predominantly for blue-collar work, but that would change.
“Statistics show about 46.5 per cent of workers living in Point Cook and Williams Landing are university-qualified,� he said. “We will create more jobs in the local area so they will no longer have to travel to Melbourne for work.� The announcement comes as about 120 Williams Landing jobs are in jeopardy following a decision by Woolworths to pull the plug on its troubled Masters stores. Woolworths announced on Monday that it was looking to either sell or wind up the stores after sustaining heavy losses. The Williams Landing store was opened in November 2013.
‘‘
There is definitely a big demand for jobs out - Intaj Khan there
’’
Mr Blackburne said stage one of the jobs project, which began last year, was the construction of homes and infrastructure. The second stage, strata offices and a hotel, would begin later in the year. A report prepared by economists MacroPlan Dimasi said Williams Landing had the potential, based on its location in Wyndham, to employ more than 13,000
people because it was close to major arterial roads, good public transport and large areas of commercial land. Werribee MP and state Treasurer Tim Pallas said he supported the project. “It’s a strong and positive boost to employment and economic activity in the west,� he said. Wyndham councillor Intaj Khan, who holds the economic development portfolio, said creation of jobs for the many young, skilled and educated people in the west was a good thing. “There is definitely a big demand for jobs out there,� he said.
The berths of a vision Workers are putting the finishing touches to stage one of the $440 million Wyndham Harbour marina project. Project director Sonya Miller says the first stage is on track for completion in the next few weeks, with the marina’s official opening likely in late February. “It’s an exciting time – we’re coming up to the conclusion of the main marina works, and there’s a lot happening on site,â€? Ms Miller said. “Infrastructure works have been going on, the floating pontoons have been installed, and foreshore landscaping works have been undertaken. “It will be really exciting to finally deliver ‌ it’s been a 30-year vision for state governments to have a boat harbour in the west. “We’re setting up a sailing school, there will be a boat broker, lots of new retail tenancies
– that whole area will really come to life as a tourism destination.� The development features the only marina between Williamstown and Geelong, and eventually it will have 1000 berths and storage for up to 390 boats. It will be the largest marina in Victoria, opening up parts of Port Phillip Bay never before accessible to swimmers and boating enthusiasts. It will also be the new home of the Werribee South Coast Guard. Charlene Macaulay

Commuters flock to new station By Adem Saban Tarneit’s new train station is a hit with commuters, ranking it the second-busiest V/Line station in the state. V/Line spokeswoman Ebony Jordan said that since the station opened in June when the Regional Rail Link was fully activated, there had been no shortage of patrons on the line. “Tarneit is now the most popular station on the V/Line network, apart from Southern
Cross,” she said. “Our figures show that, on average, 2300 customers board our trains at Tarneit station on weekdays.” On average, 1300 people boarded from Wyndham Vale on a typical weekday, which also put it in the top 10 of V/Line’s most popular stations, the spokeswoman added. The rapid growth in train patronage has led to timetable adjustments. At Wyndham Vale station, this means: • The 7.16am from Wyndham Vale will depart
three minutes earlier, stopping at Ardeer instead of Deer Park. It is scheduled to arrive at Southern Cross one minute later than previously. • Two Wyndham Vale morning peak services will have adjusted journey times – with the 7.36am leaving a minute earlier, and arriving three minutes later, at 8.14am. The 7.55am will now depart at 7.54am and arrive at Southern Cross at 8.34am. Services on the Werribee line achieved a
95 per cent punctuality rate during December last year – the line’s best monthly result since 2005. Werribee MP Tim Pallas said the line had achieved punctuality above 90 per cent for seven consecutive months. “This is the best punctuality result on the Werribee line in over a decade and we expect it to be maintained,” he said. “We’re getting more people to work and home quicker so they can spend more quality time with their families.”
A picnic at Werribee Park on Australia Day next Tuesday will have live music and loads of entertainment for the kids. Food trucks will roll in, but families are being invited to bring their own picnic baskets and a blanket. Children’s activities include a treasure hunt, Aboriginal art workshops, horse and carriage rides, and lawn games including a tug-of-war and egg and spoon race. Music will include an INXS cover band. The picnic begins at noon, but patrons are advised to get there earlier to witness a citizenship ceremony at 10.30am. Wyndham mayor Adele Hegedich has warned residents celebrating at home about the dangers of illegal fireworks, including the distress they cause to animals, and potential for serious injury and fire.

hat a week it was to be on a sports radio station in Melbourne last week . . . it was like nothing I’ve experienced before, which is saying something for someone who has been on radio for four decades. The thing that has changed in those decades is the public access to information about the news and the ability to express your opinion on it. While I subscribe to the view that everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be able to express it, that was sorely tested in the week just gone. Football is directly linked to passion and, for the most part, that’s a good thing. It’s something we’ve been brought up on. But when it becomes the vile personal vitriol I saw last week, it’s just not right. My on-air colleagues, Dave Culbert and Rohan Connolly, had opposing views on the Essendon saga, but both were victims, on all social media, of some of the most malicious messages I’ve ever seen. They were hateful and cowardly, given the authors’ anonymity. These keyboard warriors are so consumed with outrage they must be on the verge of

exploding. Whatever happened to the term “let’s agree to disagree”? What has happened to healthy debate and why has it been replaced by a shouting match that generally goes off topic and becomes extremely personal?
I
remember one of my high school teachers telling me that once you make a debate personal, you’ve lost the argument. A robust debate is something to be cherished, and sometimes it leads you to a different conclusion on the topic you’re talking about. But telling someone to “crawl under a rock and die”, as one person did on SEN’s SMS last week, is pathetic. The language is also extremely offensive, and constant use of the most despicable expletives is the norm. Creative thought is being replaced by keyboard bullying and I’d love one of these ‘heroes’ to explain to me (in the nicest possible way) what they get out of this behaviour. Social media has so much going for it as a modern form of communication, but unsocial media has no place in my world. What do you think?

Gas bottle fuelled fatal fire: CFA By Charlene Macaulay A 21-year-old Truganina man has died as a result of a house fire at Hoppers Crossing last week. Five Country Fire Authority (CFA) crews were called to the Amandi Terrace property shortly before 10pm on Monday, January 11, to find the single-storey brick veneer unit fully alight. Firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control within 20 minutes. Three people were in the unit at the time.
The man was airlifted to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition after suffering serious burns to his body. He died in hospital the following day. A woman in her early 20s was treated at the scene for minor burns, and a 12-month-old baby was checked by paramedics as a precaution. CFA duty officer Gavin Wright said it appeared a gas bottle had ignited, fuelling the fire. “It’s a sobering reminder to always take extreme care when dealing with gas bottles,”

Mr Wright said. “Never use them in a confined space.” Police will prepare a report for the coroner. The Amandi Terrace fire was one of two house fires in Hoppers Crossing within 12 hours of each other.
Police arrested a 39-year-old Hoppers Crossing man in relation to a house fire on Judkins Avenue on January 12. Three crews from the Hoppers Crossing and Point Cook units arrived shortly before 9am to find fire had spread through the house roof. The fire was quickly brought under control. Police are treating it as suspicious and investigators are working to determine the cause of the blaze. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Up for fun and fitness Like most people, Maurita Rahn is keen to improve her fitness. The Tarneit resident has signed up to tackle the 10-kilometre course in next month’s Wyndham Rotary Fun Run, which will start at Chirnside Park and wind along the Werribee River Trail. Ms Rahn said she was training three times a week in preparation for the February 28 event and is aiming to do the entire run without stopping. “I thought if I enrolled early, then I would train,” she said. Ms Rahn received an added incentive to pound the pavement last week when she won a free pair of runners from one of the fun run’s sponsors, Mizuno. Fun run organiser David Lane said four more pairs of runners were on offer as spot prizes for entrants. Keen runners can sign up for five-kilometre or 10-kilometre
courses, while for those looking for a more leisurely outing, there are four-kilometre and eight-kilometre walking tracks. The fun run is one of Wyndham Rotary’s biggest fundraisers and has raised more than $60,000 for the Royal Children Hospital’s Good Friday Appeal in the past nine years. Max Coster, of Wyndham Rotary, said the club was expecting more than 1000 people to take part. Sign up at www.wyndhamfunrun.org. Charlene Macaulay

New police put talk to the test By Ben Cameron She may come armed with a baton and capsicum spray, but Sunshine police station’s first ever custody officer, Glenda Mawson, says the most effective tool at her disposal is diplomacy. Tasked with the “total care and custody of prisoners”, the 57-year-old mother of two from Tarneit began her career at Sunshine last Monday following an “accelerated” five-week training course. The role of custody officers was announced last year as part of a bid to free up station officers so they can perform more traditional policing. Mrs Mawson is skilled in defensive tactics but prefers to rely on a smooth tongue rather than a hand-held weapon to keep prisoners in order. “I’ve usually talked my way through it [difficult situations],” she told Star Weekly down at the station last week. “Life skills and people skills are a must. You’ve got to be confident and show you’re not intimidated, but you can do that in a positive way. You come up against the odd one who’s not interested in listening to you, but generally they come around because they need you.” Her supervisor, Sergeant Mark Ellen, agreed, saying custody officers needed “good communication and negotiation skills, and good temperament, when faced with people in an agitated state”. Mrs Mawson is one of the first 15 graduates to be placed in stations across the state, with all having a background in Corrections. A further 19 new custody officers will join her at Sunshine

over the coming three years. Officers are given a range of tasks – providing meals, bedding and medication, guarding prisoners in hospital, and transferring them to court. Currently, the Sunshine station holds up to 18 prisoners in its cells during the day, 12 at night; a quota which is “frequently” maxed out. Custody officers will also lighten the load on other staff, with the state government planning to create 400 custody officer jobs statewide. Mrs Mawson made the switch to custody officer after almost 10 years at the Melbourne Custody Centre. And she came ready for action, choosing Sunshine as her preferred place to work. “I don’t want to sit in a smaller station twiddling my thumbs,” she said. “The idea of working for Victoria Police [was appealing] … being part of a good team here in Sunshine.”

Pressure on foster care A foster care program needs people in Wyndham and Hobsons Bay to open their homes to foster children and teenagers. The program, which runs out of UnitingCare’s Werribee Support and Housing, faces funding cuts if the organisation can’t reach its target of finding homes for 19 children each year. “If we have cuts in funding, it will really have an impact on the kids who need new homes,” program co-ordinator Tania Napoli said. Ms Napoli and her team are calling for potential carers to help change lives. “Carers can be from all walks of life,” she said. “Single, married, people with a family of their own, same-sex couples, full-time workers, part-time workers, or even those retired. A lot of carers often say that knowing they can
provide a safe place to live for somebody in need is really rewarding.” Ms Napoli said there were many ways of fostering young people, short or long-term. “Becoming a foster carer provides children with an opportunity to have some stability to be cared for, or to have a safe haven. It gives them an opportunity to be removed from hostile situations of abuse or neglect, and gives them a second chance,” she said. An information session will be held for people interested in becoming carers on February 3 at the church hall next door to Werribee Support and Housing. Details: 9742 6452 Adem Saban

Bad work ends a dream
Algae blooms return to river
By Charlene Macaulay A Werribee couple is warning home owners to ensure their properties are properly inspected throughout the building process after mistakes made during the construction of their dream home left them $70,000 out of pocket. Lisa and Noel Squires moved into their newly built Simon Court house in 2009. By 2012, it had suffered major structural damage due to stormwater pipes not being connected during its construction. The mistake caused the slab to bow in the middle, and the house moved. The builder returned to make the connection, but the damage had been done. “The water wouldn’t drain away, causing movement in the house,” Mrs Squires said. “By the time we looked into it, it was three years down the track and there were relatively significant issues with the house and the slab.” The Squires took both their builder and plumber to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which issued a building contract for repairs and put the builder in charge of selling the property. The property was sold last year, and the Squires now live elsewhere in Werribee. Ms Squires said the three-year legal battle had cost them $70,000 in fees, and the experience had opened her eyes to what she said was a flawed regulatory system. “I think people need to be more aware … they’ve managed to sell the house, which I’m conflicted about because I’m not sure how much due diligence the new owners did before they bought it. “You can’t afford to assume things will be done the way they’re supposed to be done. You’re relying on the experts … but you should use an inspector.”

Harmful blue-green algae blooms have been seen in the Werribee River for the second summer in a row. Melbourne Water advised locals that they and their pets should not go in the river, downstream of the Maltby Bypass, because of the algae. The algae forms blooms during hot weather, in periods of drought or low flow, or when there is an accumulation of nutrients in waterways or water bodies. Waterways manager Cameron Howie said Melbourne Water would monitor the problem through regular water sampling and had erected signs to warn people of the potential danger of coming into contact with the water. “It’s important to ensure the water does not come into contact with skin or eyes,” Mr Howie said. Melbourne Water released about 160 million litres of water into the Werribee River from the Melton Reservoir at the weekend to improve water quality in the lower reaches and to provide relief for aquatic plants and animals after a hot, dry start to summer. The algae comes three months after a Wyndham council report highlighted the poor state of the river, declining platypus numbers, water quality ranging from fair in the upper reaches to very poor in the lower reaches, and outbreaks of Azolla weed and algae. A survey also recorded a staggering 50,000 items of litter found in the river. Charlene Macaulay

Re: Foul called over cash cut (Star Star Weekly Weekly, January 13) Under no circumstance should Wyndham council cut support to such an essential community service as Werribee Support and Housing! Apparently homelessness is the financial responsibility of the state government … rubbish … the residents of Wyndham are our responsibility, and our homeless are absolutely the moral and financial responsibility of Wyndham council. Take the money from executive salaries, from unnecessary festivals, from expensive stadiums and centres, and anything that’s for the benefit of the rich residents, but not from organisations that work so tirelessly to help our poor. In the affluent 21st century we shouldn’t have the disgraceful emergency housing shortage that exists in Wyndham and no resident should be sleeping on the streets or in their cars. As for our wealthy residents … for every million you make, give 10 per cent to Werribee Support and Housing instead of wasting money on that offensively expensive new car … for pity’s sake, even give one per cent. I think most residents and most in power really don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves … so, prove me wrong. Michael Young, via www.starweekly.com.au Shame on council … what about the millions going to Werribee Football Club, yet nothing for those in our community that need it most? Iris, via facebook Our council is a disgrace. We pay rates of more than $1000 a year for what … oh

Rising crime due to ‘neglect’
Re: Homicides on the rise (Star Star Weekly Weekly, January 13) With 110 police down, on the state average, it is really no surprise; it comes from decades of neglect from both political sides. Libs had their chance to fix it and they didn’t. Labor – in particular Tim Pallas – slammed them for it, and yet he has wasted millions and we are no better off. No point adding 10 more police when you are adding thousands more residents. First time ever that neither will be getting my vote. We need to send a strong message that we can see through the bulldust. Miriam, via facebook It’s only going to rise with the expansion of suburbs in these areas. Tiffany, via facebook So, why are we still waiting for more police officers? Figures say we need them. Julie, via facebook

Council knocks back complaint Wyndham council has quashed a complaint against former mayor Peter Maynard – but will not provide details of its investigation. Lewis Freeman-Harrison, an independent candidate for Lalor at this year’s federal election, filed a complaint against Cr Maynard last October, claiming the councillor had verbally abused him during the Wyndham mayoral election. Last week, acting chief executive Steven Lambert said that following an independent investigation, the council had not upheld the complaint. The council refused to release a copy of the investigator’s report and would not answer Star Weekly’s questions about how the investigation was run or why the complaint was not upheld. “As with many organisations, the lodging of a formal complaint and subsequent independent investigation is treated by council as a confidential process,” Mr Lambert said. “It would be inappropriate to provide specific details.” Mr Freeman-Harrison, who has been banned from distributing the report, said he was disappointed with the decision. “I think the investigator did everything they could probably do,” he said. “I guess it’s hard. I really needed a pin camera on me. I didn’t have enough evidence. I didn’t have a witness and I understand it was a ‘he said, she said’ scenario.” Cr Maynard refused to comment. Charlene Macaulay

Muslims join Sikhs to help
By Charlene Macaulay What would you do if you could hire a flesh and blood clone of your favourite celebrity? Who would you choose to clone? How much would you be prepared to pay? Werribee author Barbara Goulter tackles these issues in her latest novel, 2040 – Seeing Double. Ms Goulter said inspiration for the futuristic novel struck when she read an article on cloning in an old National Geographic magazine in a dentist’s waiting room. “What if they could have done that back in Marilyn’s and Elvis’s day? Future possibilities then flooded my mind, and I started writing that very night. “Even as I wrote, I was seeing and hearing it as a movie. “The emphasis, for me, was not so much on the technology as on human reaction to the technology. “I hope the readers will come away with a better sense of the dangers we run when we embrace technology with no concern for unintended consequences.� Ms Goulter was born in the smallest US state, Rhode Island, but spent most of her life in San Francisco before moving to Werribee in 1999 with her Australian husband. She spent 20 years teaching English at Foothill College and the University of San Francisco, working in journalism and media, and writing and publishing several fiction and non-fiction books. Ms Goulter will host a book launch for 2040 – Seeing Double at 1pm, January 24, at 4 Barber Drive, Hoppers Crossing.
Members of Wyndham’s Muslim community are joining Sikhs to feed and protect the vulnerable. Sohni Dharti, a not-for-profit group based in Williams Landing, was on the hunt for a project that would allow it to give back to the community. Farouq Dar, of Sohni Dharti, said Let’s Feed – a program created by Tarneit’s Sikh community member Jasvinder Sidhu that provides school breakfasts and runs food donation drives – was a perfect fit. Sohni Dharti and its members from the Pakistani community are involved with Let’s Feed on three fronts – the school breakfast program, a food donation drive that collects food for vulnerable residents, and a youth project aimed at raising $100,000 by the end of the year to help house Wyndham’s homeless young people. “Many of our members take a lot out of this program,� Mr Dar said. “It really helps some of the most marginalised communities in Australia, which is why we decided to get involved. “Many of us have directly seen or experienced what marginalised communities go through so it was a cause close to us. “That negative image of Islam you see of us projected in the media is not a true representation of the majority. We are trying to combat this.� Adem Saban

Photographer Damjan Janevski meets some of the new arrivals at Werribee Mercy Hospital
CHARLOTTE, SIX MONTHS
Werribee big on babies Werribee Mercy Hospital is on track to deliver a record number of babies this financial year. The hospital is expected to deliver about 3850 babies in the year to June 30, 2016, with about 74 being born on average each week. That’s up from 3144 bubs in 2014-15 and 2739 births in 2013-14. The rise is in line with a three-year commitment made by Mercy Health with the Department of Health and Human Services to increase the hospital’s birth capacity by 20 per cent a year. This is the third year of that commitment. Figures from Mercy Health show the hospital has welcomed more than 38,683 babies into the world in the 21 years to December
31, 2015, including 399 sets of twins. The hospital has added obstetrics and gynaecology consultants as well as extra junior medical staff, midwives and support staff to cope with rising demand. Werribee Mercy maternity services director Jacqueline Van Dam said it had been exciting to watch the hospital’s maternity service grow in the seven years she’s worked there. “We are proud to offer women in and around Wyndham a quality maternity service that is both flexible and family-centred,” Dr Van Dam said.

Werribee South residents are to get their water upgraded. The project involves plans to carry out urgently needed improvements to the Werribee South water distribution system. During warm days, supply in some areas is reduced to a trickle, while on hot days, it is hopeless.
Councillor John Gibbons slammed the state government last week for dragging its heels on making a decision on the proposed drug testing centre for Werribee. A member of the working party set up to assess the viability of the centre, Cr Gibbons said the government was “dilly dallying around� by commissioning another viability study.
Werribee has the highest number of poker machines in the western suburbs, with community services struggling to meet the demand for financial counselling. Community workers have called for tighter controls on licensing of poker machines in Wyndham.
Homicide squad detectives have identified the body of a 32-year-old father, who was killed “execution style� in Middle Road, Truganina, on Monday morning. Son Van Duong was found about 8.30am, 300 metres from the intersection of Hopkins and Middle roads.

Molly Strano bowls for the Melbourne Renegades as they take on the Stars at the MCG. (The The Age Age)
Happy in the big league Molly Strano is taking the cricketing world by storm. The 23-year-old Werribee right-arm off-spin bowler played for the Melbourne Renegades in the inaugural Women’s Big Bash League after being the top-wicket taker in the league’s 2014-15 predecessor while playing for the Vic Spirit. “It’s definitely an honour; I’m proud to be a part of the inaugural WBBL,” she said. “It’ll be something I look back on in the years to come, being part of the first steps of the professionalisation of women’s sport with the Renegades.” Her cricket career started when she was eight, following her brother’s lead and playing as a junior.
“Most people have a cricket-mad father and that’s how they get into the game, but that wasn’t the case for me,” she said. “I guess the whole family learnt about the game at the same rate.” She played for Werribee Central with boys and at 16 was signed by Vic Spirit. “I’m only 23, so this has all come at a good time,” she says. “I’ve got a few years left in me, so I’ll see what happens.” Strano, whose home club these days is Essendon Maribyrnong Park, says family support has been a key to her success. She makes special mention of her grandmother. “She’s been a massive influence.”

MY WYNDHAM Margaret Purcell is a name most people know around town. The local solicitor speaks with Adem Saban as she reflects on life in Werribee. How long have you lived in Werribee? Since the day I was born, back in 1942. I was born in the old Wandene Hospital on Synnot Street. My father, Doctor Prouse, actually ran the hospital and was the only doctor there. The Spanish Mission house at Synnot Street – that’s where I grew up. What’s changed over the past seven decades? Werribee used to be a small town and we knew everybody. We knew all the shop owners on Watton Street, and people actually lived there. The main street is a different place. I’ve seen it be completely developed. I’ve also seen the development of Tarneit and Truganina. I remember going rabbiting and mushrooming with my brothers down there as a kid. Hoppers Crossing didn’t even exist when I was a kid. How long have you been in legal work? Since I graduated high school. Two of my brothers are dentists, and my other brother is a doctor. They followed in my father’s footsteps to work in the medical field. I had a blood disease and missed a lot of school in year nine, which meant I couldn’t do any maths, chemistry or physics classes that were prerequisites for medicine. I didn’t really want to be a doctor anyway. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Tell me a bit about your career in Werribee. I opened the Werribee branch of Arthur Secomb and Co, which was at 128 William Street in Melbourne, here at Beasley Arcade. I married my husband Frank in 1966, and he didn’t want to travel to Melbourne. He loved Werribee and wanted to live and work here. We decided to stay in Werribee and just do our

satisfaction you get if you can resolve something for people.
So you’re still practicing as a solicitor? Yes. I do business law, conveyancing, wills, estates, and contested estates.
How do you spend your spare time? Taking the grandkids to sport and bringing them home, and catching up with the family. I also do a fair bit of travelling with my brother. We try to travel as much as we can. We recently went to Russia.

We welcome the opportunity to serve all your pet’s needs including medical, surgical, grooming, puppy parties and behavioural problems.
Summer is such a great time of year to enjoy our pets’ company, but it is also the time of year we see pets affected by overexposure to the sun. Heat stress or sunstroke can occur easily in pets, just as it does humans. It is most commonly seen in breeds of dogs that find it hard to cool down by panting, as well as those that are overweight, and small pets, such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Pugs, bulldogs and Staffordshire bull terriers are breeds that are particularly prone to heat stress. Some heat and sun safety tips to remember when it comes to your pet are: • Never leave a pet in a car or small enclosed space where they can overheat within minutes. • Always ensure animals have access to shade and several bowls or buckets of cool water. A large dog may drink more than five litres of water a day. Better still, keep your pet inside on hot days. • Don’t exercise pets in hot weather as it could result in heat stress and burnt paws.

Signs of sunstroke include collapse, difficulty breathing and red or purple coloured gums. Veterinary attention should be sought immediately, as animals may suffer severe organ damage or die if not seen urgently. Treatment includes intravenous fluids, careful cooling of the pet and treatment for shock. Dogs and cats that sunbake on warm days are at high risk of developing skin cancer. Speak to your vet about animal sunscreen and special body suits, but staying out of the sun is the best option.

It’s not every day a historic landmark in the heart of Werribee comes up for offer, but this heritage-listed property is one out of the box. Set on about 2500 square metres and built in the late 1800s, this solid bluestone house features 3.9-metre ceilings, intricate cornices and rosettes, deep skirts, old-school light fittings and marble fireplaces. It has six bedrooms, updated bathrooms and separate large living zones. The family-meals area is all extravagance; the extended galley-style kitchen has granite benchtops, dishwasher, gas cooktop, wall oven, rotating servery and loads of storage. There are beautiful polished timber floors, doors and surrounds, and new carpet in the rooms it suits. There’s an alarm system, a wine cellar, a water feature out front and a fairytale undercover pergola out back, also remote-controlled gates and two separate double garages with three-phase power.
This Keogh-built house combines old-school design in the form of intricate cornices and rosettes, bay windows and high ceilings, with modern appliances. Incorporating a baby blue colour scheme, the house has four bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a spa. The house has an abundance of space, including a separate lounge room (with wood fireplace) and dining area. There are lots of cupboards in the kitchen, which has a wall oven, electric cooktop and a dishwasher. Out back is a small, under-cover pergola surrounded by lawn. The house has ducted heating, evaporative cooling, Tasmanian oak flooring throughout and a double garage with drive-through access.

This Porter Davis-built house embraces indoor and outdoor living. Its open-plan design offers plenty of space, including an integrated timber-decked alfresco off the rear living area. There’s also a separate office/study, lounge room and rumpus room. Two of the four bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, the other two have walk-in wardrobes (the main has an en suite with twin vanity basins). The angular, open kitchen has ample storage, a 900-millimetre freestanding cooker and breakfast bar. The backyard has synthetic turf, low-maintenance gardens and two water tanks. Ducted cooling and heating take care of climate control and there’s a 5kW solar panel system, big double garage and side access to a double carport. The house is within walking distance of schools, parks and shops.
This house offers all the splendour of being part of Sanctuary Lakes – access to the estate’s club house facilities, security services, parks, wetlands and walking tracks. The four-year-old house has an open-plan design which, when coupled with light-imbued interiors, adds to its modern feeling. The dual-toned kitchen has upgraded stainless-steel appliances, heaps of cupboard space and an angular island bench. There are four bedrooms, the main with an en suite with twin vanity basins. French doors open to a north-facing balcony. The rear living space has access to an outdoor zone which looks towards the lawned backyard. Ducted heating, LED lighting, gas-boosted solar hot water, 3kW upgradeable solar energy system and a remote-controlled double garage are inclusions. The house is still within the home builder’s warranty.

Price: $849,000 – $899,000
Within steps of the Werribee River, this is a place where a polished street presence reflects the interior character, defined by an urbane use of space, superior fixtures and chic décor. The colour palette ranges through soft grey, latte and warm-white, with windows throughout dressed in white plantation shutters. Room placement is well considered here, with a guest bedroom off the entry hall (walk-in wardrobe) and a glossy bathroom with stone-topped vanity unit sitting just across the way, next door to an open study. Tucked behind here are two ‘secret’ rooms,

concrete floored, plumbed and with external entry – making it just the ticket for a home business or even conversion to a granny flat. Off the large living hub is a soundproof theatre room, while upstairs there’s a big living room with balcony access. A massive, square-shaped Caesarstone island bench is a great kitchen feature, as is the big butler’s pantry (with a 900mm gas cooktop). A 900mm cooker and dishwasher with Blanco tag are other kitchen highlights. The laundry is big, with good storage, and there’s a walk-in storage closet. The huge main bedroom upstairs
is a beauty – large en suite with two vanity units, a cleverly concealed walk-in wardrobe, and a fantastic, fully enclosed balcony with plantation shutters providing air flow. The other three bedrooms all have a walk-in wardrobe, two have en suites and the third has provision for one. Back down the timber staircase (under a cascading chandelier), timber-framed bifolds open from the living hub to a tiled, enclosed outdoor room (another example of great use of space), which links to an in-ground, solar-heated salt pool with a water cascade feature. This is surrounded

by sealed aggregate, an element used extensively and very effectively. Plantings in small islands of river stones add the requisite greenery, and there’s a large garden shed where anything out of place must be hidden, such is the level of pristine presentation everywhere. Ducted heating, evaporative cooling and remote-controlled double garage are the expected inclusions at a property that rubs shoulders with others of high calibre.

SPORT Win brings relief to hot and cold Tigers A week ago, Werribee was lamenting the horrible one-day form which saw its position in Sub-District cricket’s top-six under serious threat. Good thing for the Tigers it could seek a remedy in the longer format at the weekend, with their flawless two-day form continuing in a two-wicket triumph over previously unbeaten Oakleigh in a statement game at Chirnside Park. “It’s two extremes for us,” Tigers captain-coach Mitch Johnstone told Star Weekly. “We’re 5-0 in the two-day stuff and 0-3 in the one-day stuff. “We’re really confident in our formula for two-day cricket and we know finals and
premierships are based on the two-day form, so that gives us some confidence. We really believe our two-day cricket is as good as any.” Werribee made hard work of its chase for Oakleigh’s 181. The Tigers crept over the line after tail-enders Aangan Parbhakar (10no) and Mason Frenkel (14no) came to the rescue. Earlier, it was a stop-start Tigers innings, with the likes of Shaun Dean (35), Adam Alifraco (30), Tim O’Brien (25) and Marcus Worrall (23) getting starts but failing to capitalise. “Oakleigh strangled us for a while there and we thought we actually might go down,” Johnstone said. “They really made us sweat for runs.”
The Tigers set up the victory on day one, when James Freeman (4-39) produced his most devastating spell of the summer and Jonathan Burton (3-29) lapped up his chance of First XI action after falling in the depth chart since the arrival of big-name recruit Brad Robertson. The Tigers are clinging to sixth place, with plenty of pressure coming from the teams outside the top six. “It’s that tight, anyone can beat anyone, but it puts us in a good spot with four games to go,” Johnstone said. “Next up we’ve got Caulfield [away in a two-dayer], who are second, so that’s another massive challenge.” Lance Jenkinson
IN THE DOGHOUSE Brendan Curry is a well-known name in local sport, mainly as the long-time general manager of Williamstown Football Club. ‘Cuzza’ is back in the west after a stint in Darwin running Northern Territory footy and he has landed on his feet. He has started work at Hunter French Real Estate’s Newport office in Melbourne Road and has reunited with former Williamstown superstar Saade Ghazi, the 1989 Liston Trophy winner. Like Brendan, he is a Williamstown Football Club Hall of Famer. And as coach of Altona in the WRFL this season, the real estate cry of ‘position, position, position’ is not a great stretch from what Saade might be calling to his charges.

I never thought I’d see the day when this column would talk about a frisbee club. But Hoppers Crossing Sports Club president Darren Hellmann welcomed a frisbee club and Wyndhamvale Junior Baseball Club to the Sports Club last Sunday. The occasion was Hoppers Crossing Cricket Club’s president’s lunch, attended by about 100 people including life members, past presidents, past players and sponsors. Rodney Hogg and Tony Liberatore were guest speakers and it was also great to hear the president of the VSDCA, Jack Sheehan, say how thrilled the association was to have a club like Hoppers in the competition. The sports club’s awards night is coming up at Hogans Road Reserve on February 20. Tickets are available from the club for $30. For your information the frisbee club trains at Hogans Road every Wednesday.

The annual Peter ‘Bunny’ Bunworth memorial cricket day is on Sunday, February 7 and this year it’s Hoppers Crossing’s turn to host the event. It’s a fun day, with a 30-over match for over-35s players. ‘Bunny’ played at Hoppers then coached at Wyndhamvale and was a popular character.

Next Sunday, January 24, will see an all-abilities cricket game at Hansen Reserve in North Footscray featuring Yarraville Club Cricket Club’s A and B teams. The match starts at 11.30am and everyone is invited.

Cats build on reputation By Lance Jenkinson Hoppers Crossing just might be the real deal. The Cats edged closer to a finals berth in their maiden sub-district cricket season, after a 68-run blitz of premiership contenders Caulfield at Hogans Road Reserve at the weekend. Beating a top shelf opponent means the rest of the south-west group sits up and takes note, a confidence booster for the Cats in the run-in to finals. “I’m excited,” Cats’ captain-coach Greg Kennedy told Star Weekly. “It was a really good weekend. We’re a game clear of a big lot of teams now, but we’ve got to keep winning.” The Cats are one of the form teams of the competition. They have won four games of their past six games with a tied match in between. Their only loss during that six-game period came against ladder leader Oakleigh in a one-day game.Dinesh Daminda had his fingerprints all over the Caulfield win. 66 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 20, 2016
The 32-year-old fast bowler took 5-25 off 15 economical overs to be the main contributor to the demise of the top batting side in the competition. Caulfield was all out for just 139 in their search for the Cats’ 9-207. Daminda out-smarted the batsmen with patient build-up and unplayable money balls. “There was a bloke who came in for them and I reckon he [Daminda] bowled eight balls to him, all out-swingers, all on off-stump or outside,” Kennedy said. “I was fielding at point and was thinking, you can keep leaving them, but watch out for the in-swinger. “After eight out-swingers, the next ball was an in-swinger that hit the top of off-stump. “His thought process and execution was brilliant.” It was a good team bowling effort from the Cats, with Kennedy (3-19), Alex Wyatt (1-33) and Brett Smith (1-15) all getting in on the act. It is no secret that bowling is the team’s strength
with no visiting side having made more than 200 runs at Hogans Road since Kennedy returned to the club last summer. “What we do really well is bowl in partnerships, and everyone keeps it tight,” Kennedy said. “Dinesh got the five-for, but the rest of us all went for less than two an over, which means they had to continue to play their shots to our best bowler. “The contribution has come from all four of us.” It was not all plain sailing for the Cats, though. On the first day, they were in a spot of bother on 4-44, but the middle order revived the innings, with James Grixti (41) and Trent Said (39) playing huge roles for the Cats, building a competitive total. “I got really grumpy after the Oakleigh game because the bottom five batsmen practically made a zero contribution,” Kennedy said. “It’s nice to know our bottom half can hang in and get us over the line.”
Local athletics has been in the spotlight with the running of the St Albans Gift last weekend. Braybrook’s own Megan McMahon won the open women’s 300 and Melton’s Stefan Catalano took out the open 1600 metres in 4 minutes 11 seconds.

Collapse sinks Centrals By Lance Jenkinson Werribee Centrals suffered a dramatic batting collapse to free-fall from second to fifth on the Victorian Turf Cricket Association west A1 ladder. The Centurions were coasting on 2-50 in their search for 142 in the one-day game against Kingsville Baptists at Skinner Reserve on Saturday before losing 5-4 in quick succession in the middle order. A late flurry of runs from the tail-end made it a tight finish but the damage had been done and the Baptists won by 14 runs. “It turned into a nail-biting finish,” Centurions wicketkeeper Chris Duffin told Star Weekly. “We really got a bit of momentum and you’d probably have had us favourites at one stage, but they were probably the better side on the day.” The evenness of the competition dictates no margin for error for sides in and around the top four. The Centurions had a chance to consolidate second place only to fall out of the four and into the chasing pack. With big finals-like games against Wyndham Vale, Sunshine Heights and Williamstown CYMS in the run home, the Centurions’ destiny is still in their own hands. “This loss has put us in a position where we can’t afford to drop those games and now they’re all like cut-throat finals,” Duffin said. “We’re a developing side, so it will help us to win these games and get to the finals. “It’s all about getting experience and developing a bit more maturity in situations where we need to dig in a little bit more.” The Centurions lacked continuity against Kingsville. They had moments of brilliance but were always followed by flat patches.

Thanancheyan Arunthavapalan had a nice all-round game with 36 and 2-22, while paceman Aaron Edrich and spinner Luke Allister snared three wickets apiece. The Centurions know they will need to produce better to emerge victorious out of this round’s derby clash with Wyndham Vale. Wyndham Vale enters the big clash with a few worries of their own after losing by 34 runs to cellar dweller Footscray United.

Werribee reaps rewards of sticking with youth Werribee City will not waver from its youth policy despite it being relegated to the second tier of the NPL at the end of last season. The Bees’ long-term youth development plan is just starting to bear fruit. “That’s what we’re embarking on over the next four years,” Bees’ media liaison person Michael Falla told Star Weekly Weekly. “We’re really looking to build it up from our youth squads, so when they get to a senior level there will be a bit of loyalty around the club. “We’ll have potentially six to 10 kids who have played on the same teams for the past five or six years.” The first wave of talented young players are starting to come through for Werribee City. There is a handful already training with the senior squad to be considered for selection when the Bees open the season on February 21 against Whittlesea Ranges at Galvin Park. Dimitar Veljanoski returns from representing
Victoria in the under-15s, and could be in for some game time with the seniors this season. “It’s looking likely that he’ll keep his spot in the senior team, which is pretty awesome for a kid of his age,” Falla said. Veljanoski was part of the Big V team with teammate Yasin Nur, who is also one to watch. “I know Yas and Dimitar have been approached by [A-League clubs] City and Victory for their youth squads, but they’ve chosen to stay around because of the set-up we’re going with, and obviously there’s some valuable playing time for them in the senior squad,” Falla said. “It demonstrated what we’re doing at the club is really giving these kids an opportunity to progress and make it as far as they can.” Darcy Anastovski is another Bees’ junior who has been identified as a talent early. He is part of the Skillaroos program, which assists in the development of gifted young

players considered potential future Socceroos. In other news, it is a case of as you were for the Truganina Hornets committee, with Sergio Lunedei (president) and Francesco Sculli
(vice president) re-elected at the club’s annual general meeting. Point Cook had a tough start to the pre-season circuit on Sunday, with a 6-1 loss to Eastern Lions, coming from a higher division. Hoppers Crossing and Werribee City will play a pre-season ‘Fight for Bailey’ charity match on February 13 at Galvin Park. It will be the first time the two clubs have squared off since way back in 2003 when Hoppers Crossing emerged victorious 2-1. The game will be played to raise funds for two-year-old Bailey Chesson, who suffers from acute Myelodysplastic syndrome. Bailey is the son of Josie Chesson, who plays in the Reds’ women’s team and was formerly of Werribee City, and nephew to Brian ‘Buddha’ Chesson, the Reds’ men’s captain and also a one-time Werribee City player.

Bellbridge gets ready to roll the dice

Bees find the way back By Lance Jenkinson Werribee clicked into survival mode in division 1 of Bowls Victoria pennant on Saturday. The Bees came back from the dead on two fronts to give their season a much-needed boost in the first game of the new year. They overturned a massive 20-shot deficit for a stunning come-from-behind 91-80 win over Preston-Reservoir at Chirnside Park, which also resuscitated their season at a time when the threat of relegation was beginning to get real. Bees skip Snowy Barker was just happy to be able to experience the thrill of winning for the first time since October 24 and for only the third time in the season. “It’s been a long time between drinks,” he told Star Weekly. “I can’t remember how many losses we’ve 68 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 20, 2016
had; it’s been that long, it’s been unbelievable. We’re looking in the eye of relegation and it was never on my radar at the start of the year.” Barker admits the Bees “stole victory from the jaws of defeat” and was proud of his players’ willingness to fight with their backs against the wall. “Twenty shots down at half-time, I thought ‘Hell, not again’,” he said. “For the boys to lift and turn it all around was very good.” What it gives Werribee is hope. They’re no longer in the bottom two, having jumped up two spots to fourth-last on the back of the win. They remembered how to win after suffering so many close losses in that harrowing seven-game losing streak. “If we can carry that momentum into next week, I’m sure it will stand us in good stead,” Bees skip Anthony Briggs said.
“The reality was, we had gone 11 weeks minus [only] 25 shots with two wins. That says that we’ve been in every game but have had those narrow losses. “That’s the difference between being successful and where we are now.” It was Briggs’ rink that gave the Bees a heartbeat when all appeared lost. They won in a canter 35-9 to ensure a successful defence of their home turf. “I’ve got a consistent rink overall that contribute every end, so no complaints at all,” Briggs said. “But I thought Dion [Warnecke] was a standout. “He gives me the ability to just step to the mat and just add, which, from a skipper’s point of view, is good.” Werribee will travel to fifth-placed Altona Sports in the 13th round on Saturday.
Bellbridge will be out to wipe the slate clean on the second day of what is proving to be a difficult clash with Williamstown Congs in the WDCA A-turf. The Bridge is staring down the barrel of defeat after the first day, when little went right for the premiership contenders. “We had a pretty average day,” Bridge playing president Mark Croswell told Star Weekly. “We’ve nothing to lose now, so we need to knuckle down this week and try to take as many wickets as we can and try and make a game for us.” Bellbridge was skittled for just 95 in 45.3 overs at Mossfeil Reserve on Saturday. That was even more disappointing considering the start made by Martin Ritchie (26) and Dave Henderson (25). They took the shine off the ball and put in 40 for the opening partnership, but from then on it was a procession of wickets. The Bridge lost 9-55, with Congs second-change bowler Mitch Alexander taking 5-6 from six overs. “From our point of view, it was more a lack of application from our batsmen,” Croswell said. “We just didn’t knuckle down at stages when we were losing one and two wickets. “This week it turned into four or a five and we just never recovered. “Batsmen not taking their opportunities is going to come back to haunt us I think.” Williamstown Congs cruised to stumps on 2-69 in reply and are odds-on favourites to claim first innings points. With Congs needing to make up a lot of ground on the teams in the top four and Bellbridge with a nothing-to-lose mentality, the second day’s play could be an appetising main course in this one. “It’s in our best interests to go for a reverse outright but that means we’ll have to get quick wickets next week,” Croswell said. “If they give us enough overs, we’ll try to put on a quick score and maybe entice them to go for an outright. “They’re two games behind us and need the points as much as anybody, so hopefully both teams are positive.” Lance Jenkinson
MOTOR What price an electric switch? By Rod Easdown I was in Scandinavia last year and I was amazed by the number of electric vehicles (EVs) I saw, particularly uber-expensive Model S Teslas. Now I’ve been to the Netherlands where Model S taxis ply the streets. The Tesla Model S is not a modest little runabout. It’s a fully equipped luxury sedan that, in Australia, will set you back anywhere from about $150,000 to well north of $200,000. Whoever heard of a $200,000 taxi? Ah, but EVs are cheaper in many parts of Europe. A lot cheaper. Plenty of countries there are trying to wean car owners off fossil fuels and they’re making it attractive. Denmark and Norway lead the way by offering buyers a break on sales taxes, which in these two countries are extremely high. Yearly registration in Norway averages about $18,000, calculated on vehicle weight, engine size and emissions. There are then recurring exemptions such as driving free of charge on toll roads and reduced charges, or none at all, for parking. And of course, like all EV owners, Tesla drivers don’t have to buy petrol. The cost of charging a Tesla overnight in Norway is less than running a fridge. If you can stump up the purchase price, which after the incentives is about two-thirds the Australian price, you get a full-blown luxury sedan that’s cheaper to run than a mini. It’s an attractive proposition for private buyers, and for taxi operators the numbers
TESLA MODEL S
are obvious, especially given the Tesla’s range of 400 kilometres or more. And they’re ‘green taxis’ that get dedicated ranks. It’s the incentives, then, that are driving EV sales. More than one-fifth of new car sales in Norway are EVs. Projections drawn up when these incentives were under debate 10 years ago suggested there
would be 50,000 EVs on Norway’s roads by the end of 2017. That number was reached in April last year and by September it was 66,000, with an additional 8000 petrol electric hybrids. In Australia there are no green motoring incentives, maybe because EVs are a lot less green in this country. In Scandinavia the great bulk of electricity is generated by hydro and
wind while in Australia, much of our electricity comes from burning coal. The environmental benefits of zero-emission EVs are thus offset to some degree by the emissions resultant from the extra coal burned to generate fuel for them. But now a funny thing is happening. Influential people, including prominent economists, are saying that the European incentives are too generous, are not cost-effective or even having a significant effect on pollution. Environmental economist Anders Skonhoft, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, says the total value of incentives equates to about $19,000 per vehicle per year, and yet the country has cut its carbon dioxide emissions by just one-tenth of one per cent. Politicians have responded by saying that the incentives were always meant to be temporary. Indeed Denmark has announced a phase-out of its incentives over the next five years. The other problem is infrastructure that’s not keeping up with the EV boom. Oslo has about 700 public charging points for EVs, expected to increase to 1000 by year’s end. It’s nowhere near enough; most owners are forced to charge at home. Californians have the same problem. According to The New York Times, owners are unplugging one another’s cars, swapping insults and even creating black markets by trading charging spots in corporate car parks. There are about 10 EVs for every charging point in the US and charging can take anything up to four hours. www.teslamotors.com/en_AU/
