H ey, Albo – this one’s for you.Opposition Leader Tony Abbott

eff ectively ensured the race for Grayndler at this year’s election was

over on Wednesday when he all but killed off the chances of the Greens winning the seat from sitting Labor MP, Anthony Albanese.

Mr Abbott announced on Wednesday all House of Representatives Liberal candidates would preference Labor over the Greens, eff ectively handing Mr Albanese, who had a margin of just over four per cent over the minor party, his seat.

Mr Abbott said the previous minority government was not successful and made it clear he was not going to form a minority government if elected.

“It is critical for Australia’s future that we have a return to strong, stable and accountable government. But that will not occur if there is a continuation of Labor-Greens minority government. [It was] an experiment that has comprehensively failed,” Mr Abbott said.

Th e Greens candidate for Grayndler, Hall Greenland, said voters would not take well to such tactics.

“It is clear the old parties are out to destroy the Greens because they want to keep control of parliament for themselves. We’ve been planning for this. It’s no surprise to me that the old parties are ganging up together to help each other,” Mr Greenland said.

“My message to voters is don’t let Tony Abbott decide who represents you on important matters like refugee policy, climate change, marriage equality and public education. You decide.”

Mr Albanese said ultimately the community would decide the outcome. He said the move by Mr Abbott was a strategic one based on how the electorate views his party.

“Th e fact is that Tony Abbott’s only come up with this position in my seat after there’s been published polling showing that the Liberals in fact are fi nishing second, the Greens are fi nishing third, and so the Liberal preferences won’t be counted,” Mr Albanese said.

Free pass: Tony Abbott has effectively ensured Anthony Albanese will retain his seat of Grayndler.

LAURA JAYESSky News Political Reporter [email protected]

T wo weeks into the campaign... and it’s just starting to get interesting.

Tony Abbott’s disciplined veneer is starting to show some cracks and Kevin Rudd knows he needs to start taking some risks.

Most national polls are showing the Coalition consistently ahead in the two part preferred vote 52-48. Not a landslide victory but enough to give the Opposition Leader a confi dent edge.

Last week Tony Abbott was as relaxed as I’ve seen as he moved around the most marginal seats on the east coast.

Th e Coalition’s strategy has been an off ensive one – Mr Abbott campaigned in eight marginal, Labor-held seats and only two Liberal marginals. He targeted Kate Ellis’ seat of Adelaide, Bass and Braddon in Tasmania and even Kevin Rudd’s own seat of Griffi th.

It’s as much about the optics as anything else, but when you compare it with the Rudd camp – the Prime Minister was certainly more defensive.

Whilst he did target four marginal seats in Brisbane, plus Bennelong in Sydney and Dunkley in Victoria he also moved to sandbag six Labor-held seats on margins of less than fi ve per cent.

Week one bordered on boring. Each leader did what we expected them to do and it was predictable in its banality. Week two, things are starting to shake up.

Tony Abbott has made three perceived gaff es in just two days. Th ere was getting suppository mixed up with repository, telling the media that one of Fiona Scott’s best political assets is her “sex appeal”, and fi nally he declared on radio that he wasn’t going to change his views on gay marriage “because it’s the fashion of the moment”.

For a leader who has been so disciplined for so long, these slip ups will be reminding colleagues and voters of his accident prone ways. I can tell you some are getting a little nervous.

We may have seen the ‘Real Tony’ this election campaign – but we are certainly starting to see the ‘Real Kevin’ too. Or is it the ‘Old Rudd’?

Camp Kevin feels somewhat chaotic and reactive rather than proactive. Th ere are signs of the Kevin of old – press conferences run at least half an hour late and there’s been signs of complacency.

Whilst addressing the troops in Townsville he said, “Never let anyone talk you down. It’s just a lot of rot. What you do is fi rst class in Australia’s name.”

Huh? Who talks soldiers down? Kevin Rudd needs to throw everything

he’s got at this campaign and he is showing signs of throwing cautious to the wind.

Labor is also about to ramp up its negative attack advertising campaign. Expect a more risky strategy in the next few weeks and hopefully a visionary policy direction too. God knows this campaign needs it.

Laura Jayes will be writing for The Inner City Weekender for

the duration of the 2013 Federal Election campaign

Week two of the campaign and things are getting a shake up

W ith the Federal election looming, the Greens are calling on both sides of politics to come to the

rescue of one of the nation’s biggest education providers, TAFE colleges.

Th e Greens candidate for Grayndler Hall Greenland said both sides of politics needed to reverse their policies on TAFE, which would see its future lost.

He said if elected he would re-establish the parliamentary enquiry into TAFE and fi ght to implement the Greens’ TAFE rescue package.

Part of that package will be see the injection of an extra $400 million per year, at an overall cost of $1.2 billion over the forward estimates from July 1, 2014.

“Both the NSW and Federal Governments have slashed their spending on public vocational education and training and have pushed the TAFE system into competition with low quality providers,” Mr Greenland said.

“Students at Petersham and Enmore

TAFE are feeling the impact with short courses, less access to full time teachers and rising fees…for a state that struggles with youth employment, the last thing NSW and Grayndler need is to compromise the skills base,” he said.

Mr Greenland pointed to funding cuts of up to 25 per cent in real terms since

1997 as one of the key causes of TAFE’s decline.

“If I’m elected one of my fi rst priorities will be to restart the inquiry and make sure that whichever party wins knows that it cannot ignore the 1.3 million students who depend of TAFE for a better go,” Mr Greenland said.

Refugee policy, clean energy and university funding are the issues voters in Grayndler are concerned about according to

Greens Deputy Leader and Federal Member for Melbourne, Adam Bandt, who visited Newtown last week.

Th e seat of Grayndler is on a margin of only 4.2 per cent and could well swing in the Greens’ favour if these issues are addressed. Mr Bandt is confi dent the man who represents the Greens in the seat of Grayndler, Hall Greenland, could well be joining him in parliament after September 7.

“Th ese concerns are mirrored in Grayndler and I hope Hall joins me in the House of Representatives after this election to stand up for his electorate,” he said.

Mr Hall said wants to challenge the Deputy Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who is the current Grayndler member, on a number of issues he believes are central to the electorate’s concerns.

He said he couldn’t understand why the Deputy Prime Minister wouldn’t go head to head in a debate.

“I remain puzzled by the refusal of Mr Albanese to carry out a series of debates with me in the electorate on the key issues that matter to voters – I proposed this last month and he refused,” Mr Greenland said.

He said if it was good enough for Kevin

Rudd to debate his opponent in the seat of Griffi th, (former medical practitioner Bill Glasson) it was good enough for Mr Albanese to debate him on issues that aff ect their electorate.

“People right across the electorate want real, genuinely caring leadership and a vision on education funding, refugees,

infrastructure and transport, like high speed rail and climate change,” Mr Greenland said.

“Th e Greens have clear, positive plans for a prosperous future and I look forward to hearing how these contrast with those of Mr Albanese’s ALP. I know local voters do too.”

If nothing else, Clive Palmer is a straight shooter. And despite the money, the power, his much-publicised past and his very public profi le, he is determined

to ensure the political party that carries his name is not all about him.

“It’s not about making me happy – it’s about serving the community,” Mr Palmer told the Weekender.

“It’s not about my fulfi llment, I’ve had a good life in Australia and I should be prepared to give something back.”

Mr Palmer makes it very clear that he thinks the “economy is stuff ed” and the “average family can’t survive”.

In short, his words are not hidden behind layers of media garble aiming to protect an image in front of the cameras or the Canberra press pack.

“I’m someone that has been very successful in my life... I know this nation can be run a hell of a lot better, and why shouldn’t I stand up and say that?” Mr Palmer said.

“On the 25th of August we’ll launch our policy at Coolum and it will set out the national agenda of what we could do and what we could achieve.

“It’ll show how we can do it and how we can boost our domestic economy to get full employment, and to get a higher living standard.

“It’ll set out the fundamental change we need to make to the whole government and the economic structure of Australia to ensure its prosperity for everyone.

“Th at’s what Australians want to hear. Th ey haven’t heard that from Rudd, they haven’t heard that from Abbott, but I can tell you one thing, before the election is out they’ll hear it from me and they’ll hear it right across the country.”

Mr Palmer knows he’s got critics, and knows some are laughing off his attempt to rattle the world of Australian politics.

But the man who wants to re-build the

Titanic and develop his own Jurrasic Park in Queensland has got a pretty simple message to those laughing from afar.

“Very few Australians are laughing if they really believe in this country and what it stands for,” he said.

Th e Palmer United Party will have Mohanadas (Morgan) Balasingham contest the electorate of Grayndler against sitting MP, Anthony Albanese.

Australia’s Mr Fix-it?Palmer promises to make his voice heard in power bid

Clive Palmer says “the economy is stuffed” and he’s the man to help fi x it.

Rumours of his own newspaper“I think you’ll see me providing an opportunity for people in news to be able to express themselves more honestly without fear of losing their jobs.”

Last week’s leadership debate“It’s all about looking at each other and the only people that gain from that is Kevin Rudd’s hairdresser – he whips his hair back more for us than anyone else does, and Tony Abbott gets a chance to say what he’s been practicing in the mirror all week.”

Immigration“We’ve got to look at the $6 billion that’s wasted each year trying to fi gure out where refugees are coming from and housing them.”

Same sex marriage“Issues such as same sex marriage, the abortion debate and euthanasia should all come down to the candidates’ individual position on the issue. Th e mainstream parties force their candidates and MPs to vote as one with the party, making individuals go against their personal views, religious beliefs and strong convictions.”

Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott“Th ey are devoid of ideas and are off ering Australia more of the same as Australia’s debt increases at over $3 billion a week.”

Wind storm damage: Gum tree fell on power linesAbout 1.15pm on Monday police responded to reports of a tree down, impacting power lines on Th e Boulevarde, Dulwich Hill. When police arrived they saw the top half of a large gum tree had broken off as a result of the strong winds and was resting on power lines. Due to its large size and position, a crane and cherry-picker were needed to remove the section of tree over the power lines. Fortunately no-one was injured and no property damaged. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hospitalised: Two pedestrians struck by vehicleAbout 6.50pm last Friday two pedestrians were struck by a car when crossing the road at the intersection of Cannon Street and Westbourne Street, Stanmore. Th e two pedestrians had almost reached the southern curb of Westbourne Street when a vehicle has turned right from Cannon Street colliding with the pedestrians. As a result of the collision both pedestrians sustained injuries and were taken by ambulance to Hospital. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Drink driving: Man returned high range readingAbout 7.55pm on Th ursday, August 8, police were patrolling when they observed a vehicle lose traction when turning into Corunna Road, Stanmore. Police stopped the car a short time later and spoke with the driver. Police subjected the driver to a roadside breath test, which returned a positive reading. As a result the driver was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station for the purpose of a breath analysis. Th e breath analysis returned a high range reading. Th e driver was charged and his licence suspended; he is due to face Newtown Court in relation the matter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Break through: Man caught with stolen goodsPolice from Newtown have arrested and charged a man after he was allegedly involved in numerous break-ins throughout CBD and inner west. Shortly before 9am on Wednesday, a 33-year-old man and 33-year-old woman were detained by police as they left a home unit in Murray Street at Pyrmont. A search of the man and his vehicle realised six mobile phones, electronic devices, drug paraphernalia and other documentation that is believed to have been stolen. Th e man was charged with numerous off ences.

POLICE SNAPSHOT

Families with children aged three years attending pre-school next year could face a fee increase if the State Government’s new funding model goes ahead.

It is believed the State Government will remove a subsidy given to centres, meaning childcare could cost $80 a day per three year-old child, which will place families under stress.

Marrickville MP Carmel Tebbutt said the new funding model the Government will introduce will drive up costs for families.

“Th e O’Farrell Government’s plans to remove

funding for three-year-old children attending preschools is causing great alarm for local parents and preschool operators. For 75 per cent of preschools, 30 to 50 per cent of their enrolments are three-year-olds,” she said.

“Preschool operators are telling us changes are threatening their viability as they won’t be able to fi ll all their enrolments for next year.”

However the Minister for Education Adrian Piccoli said the new funding model will see substantial increases in per child subsidies for children in the year prior to school and disadvantaged three-year-olds and will take into account the added costs of running a service in remote and rural areas.

Future fee rise: IPART report recommends TAFE increases

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) released a report last week recommending a draft proposal

to raise fees for TAFE and VET students.Under the proposal more than 84 per

cent of all TAFE and Vocational Education and Training students would fork out considerable amounts of money for courses.

Member for Marrickville Carmel Tebbutt said the refusal by the O’Farrell Government to rule out the fee increase could have a detrimental eff ect on those wishing to pursue careers that required TAFE and VET qualifi cations.

Ms Tebbutt said the costs were considerate with around 22 per cent of students facing an increase of more than $1,500 per qualifi cation or around $750 per year. Many of the 59,000 apprentices and trainees who were enrolled in TAFE would see their fees rise by up to $379 per year under the regulator’s proposal.

“If these fee increases are introduced,

it would be devastating for local TAFE students, apprentices and mothers re-training to enter the workforce,” she said.

She urged the O’Farrell Government to reconsider and rule them out altogether. “Th e large increase in course fees would come on top of the Government’s decision to increase fees by 9.5 per cent last year, sack 800 TAFE staff and cut TAFE funding.”

A spokesman for the Minister for Education, Adrian Piccoli, said IPART was commissioned by the NSW Government to provide independent advice on prices, student fees and subsidies for government-subsidised training. Th e release of the report was a product of the independent review.

However no commitment had been made on price increases for fees, until consultation with the community fi rst on the fi nding of the report.

“Th e government will not be making any fi nal decisions about price and fee arrangements until after IPART has released its fi nal report in September 2013,” the spokesman said.

A parliamentary Select Committee will investigate sentences handed to child sex off enders NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell has announced.

“Confi dence in the justice system is undermined when sentences for child sex off enders appear out of step with community expectations,” he said.

Emergency services are reminding motorists to move to the left and out of the way of emergency vehicles driving under lights and sirens.

“An obstructed journey can be the diff erence between life and death,” said Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Michael Gallacher.

Road safety is an issue for everyone who gets behind the wheel of a car. Th e dangers of using a mobile phone whilst driving will be

explained at next Tuesday’s bStreetsmart event at Allphones arena at Homebush.

Th e event will see 18,000 school students including students from Casimir Catholic College Marrickville witness a realistic car crash scene in an eff ort to drive home the message of road safety.

Now in its eighth year the bStreetsmart initiative is the brainchild of two Westmead Hospital trauma co-ordinators Julie Seggie and Stephanie Wilson, who started the program in 2006 and has grown in popularity.

It will give students an insight into the dangers of driving and using their mobile phones, and the consequences of doing so. Not only is death the outcome, but for those who survive, there are risks such as spinal injuries to consider, that will be permanent.

Ms Wilson said the images have an impact on the school children, with a combination of images and re-enactments on stage.

“Th e re-enactment is so real and so confronting for them…(they) are so captivated by the dramatisation that you could literally hear a pin drop. It’s not often you see this kind of response in an arena full of teenagers,” she said.

Ms Wilson also said that educating the school children was vital in preventing

this age group from getting seriously injured in road accidents.

Although the footage is convincing, the use of emotive stories from real life car

crash survivors is equally confronting. Research conducted by the University of

New South Wales’ Risk Management Research Centre shows that students walk

away from such programs with a changed attitude towards driving and are more likely to retain the message of road safety for longer periods of time.

A feasibility study is being sought by Labor Councillor Jo Haylen on the possibility of implementing a Bicycle Share Scheme across the

Marrickville local government area.Th e scheme would not only reduce the

number of cars on roads, it would eff ectively reduce congestion. In addition it would provide those who can’t aff ord to buy a bike, or simply don’t have storage space, with an alternative.

“Th is provides an easy and quick way for people to get around Marrickville, and with so many people living in apartments, often fi nding space to store a bike is challenging,” Cr Haylen said.

She hoped the council will look favourably on the motion, citing the idea had taken off across cities around Australia.

“We’ve seen it work in Brisbane and Melbourne and now it’s time for Councils to get together and see it happen in Sydney too,” she said.

Th e idea would see bicycle and helmet hubs strategically placed in various spots. Universities, public housing, and residential areas will benefi t, with the goal to make cycling a more accessible form of transport.

Cr Haylen said with bike riding becoming increasingly popular, it was time Marrickville made the choice for people easier through the provision of bikes. She hopes other Councils will join the initiative.

Cinema in Newtown on August 28 for the fi nal of the Sydney Vision Song Contest.

A celebration of local communities now in its fourth year, the contest is organised by the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre (NCC) and is a spin-off of the ever popular ‘Eurovision’.

Program manager for the NNC, Ken Saunders, said they deal with serious issues like homelessness, poverty and social inclusion, however there was a fun side too.

“Th e centre is about fun and creativity and this is certainly our chance to refl ect the creativity of those in our neighbourhoods,” he said.

Entrants from all over Sydney submit a video to the competition, which must feature a Sydney suburb in the lyrics and, in the spirit of Eurovision, a ‘cheesy’ element.

Th is year contestants cast off part of their clothing partway through the video, or must wear something tastefully fl uoro, or do a hip thrust. Th e fi nalists have their video clips played at Dendy Cinemas.

Martha will be performing a song she wrote that celebrates Marrickville titled ‘How I love my very own day’.

“I just love the place. Th e diversity of people and the people themselves,” she said.

Filming in Marrickville Park with her father, Martha said it took a weekend to put the fi lm clip together.

“We fi lmed using the ‘greenscreen’ and

dad put down the animation, the whole thing was cut down to four minutes,” she said.

Summer has come early and ladies, what better time to get into shape for summer at Contours Dulwich Hill is there than now?

Betty Concina is the owner and a committed athlete in her own right and knows what it takes to get the best out of women.

She recently took part in the International Bodybuilding World Championships in Greece and won third place in the Ms Physic Division.

“I trained hard for 12 months and

during that time I competed twice in Australia at a state and national level. My aim was to get into the Australian team, and I did!

“I won’t say it was easy, I worked 12 hours a day and had to make time to train seven days a week, twice a day.

“My meals had to be prepared daily; I just pushed through my tiredness to achieve my goal. I had to fi nd a way to do everything and I did.

“I couldn’t be more proud of my achievements. I had a dream and a goal for

2013. I can say that my dream came true and now I’m setting my sights on Olympia in 2014.”

With that in mind, Betty knows the feeling of looking and feeling great, having been involved in body building for 10 years. She knows how to keep fi t and she speaks from experience.

Betty’s message to all women is simple: no matter how busy you are, no matter how tired you can be by the end of the day, if you believe in your goal, nothing can stop you from reaching it.

“I do hope that I inspire more women to reach their goals and I will be honoured to help them do so. Each one of you has a goal and each one is equally important. My team and I will be more than happy to assist you with any issues you may be facing.”

“Combining a healthy eating plan and exercise women can look and feel awesome,” she said.

Call today on 9564 0533 or drop into Contours Dulwich Hill at 1/556 Marrickville Road, Dulwich Hill.

ASAP As Sustainably As Possible Launching in Australia August 25th

If you’re looking for something to do next week-end then the launch of ASAP As Sustainably As Possible, a socially responsible online network could be the answer. ASAP’s offi cial Australian launch will take place on August 25th 2013 with a free family friendly event for the whole community at Addison Road Com-munity Centre in Marrickville.

The core element of ASAP is ‘the pledge’, to take up one good thing for the environment & give up one bad thing. ASAP aims to inspire and educate people to live As Sustainably As Possible everyday by making these kinds of simple choices.

Founder Shirley Lewis says, “ASAP is about changing the world one pledge at a time, by doing something as simple as giving up plastic bags and taking up walking to your local store instead of driving, you are making a difference to our children’s future. Sustainable living does not have to be diffi cult, unpleasant or inconvenient, we want to highlight that.”

Join ASAP for their community launch event jam-packed with live entertainment, workshops, educational talks and exhibitions from the likes of Eco-Artist Angela Van Boxtel, Reverse Garbage, Eco-Expo, The Urban Food Market, Collaborative Consumption, The Clothing Ex-change, Sea Shepherd and Wheelie Bin Sound Systems. Plus a special gardening workshop and talk with Costa Georgiadis from the ABC’s Gardening Australia and loads of prizes to be won. There will be sustainable fun to be had for all ages!

ASAP As Sustainably As Possible in action in Northern Ireland where it all began

Doors open at 9am and the fun continues until 2pm. Don’t forget to bring along your six pieces of clothing to swap at The Clothing Exchange.

Your patience and tolerance is about to be tested as either

your children will be taking up a lot of your time as they drive you insane with their needs or demands, or you will have to deal with a group of adults who insist on acting like children. If you deal with such events by taking assertive, positive action you’ll reap rewards and emerge with your sanity in tact. You need time to yourself so why not take a long stroll and de-stress!

Your social life could bring unexpected twists and turns

during the next few weeks; a special outing you were very much looking forward to may be cancelled at the last minute, so be certain to have a plan B up your sleeve. It is also possible that you will either be let down by a friend or be disappointed by someone you have held in high esteem. Whilst you can be a great friend you need to let other people resolve their own issues.

Th e major focus is on your fi nancial aff airs and it is going

to be necessary for you to make cutbacks in order to fi nd long term security. Unfortunately some bills are likely to land in your lap in the next two weeks and you will need to dig deep in order to pay for them. Rather than becoming overly anxious about your fi nances you need to take a practical approach to all economic matters and to put a new budget into place.

You need to be careful of allowing your anxieties and

worries over a relationship issue to control you. You are starting to become obsessed about them, therefore you need to realistically face this situation and free yourself from their insidious behaviour. Th e focus is also on your fi nancial security and even though you would like to be the last of the big spenders this is not advisable, as there may be some major bills coming up.

Problems are likely on the home and family front and this

could manifest into a need to call your local plumber or handyman to help sort out an unexpected emergency. A serious reassessment of your relationship with certain family members is required as someone close is certainly going through a highly negative and destructive phase at the moment. However, you need to be careful of coming across as highly critical.

Unexpected problems are likely at work and you may

need to be very diplomatic when it comes to dealing with some rather stressed out colleagues or an overly anxious boss. Certain obstacles and issues need to be sorted out on the career front; perhaps the fi rm you work for has been going through fi nancial problems and changes now have to be made before everyone is able to progress on a smooth path once again.

Trying to stay centred during the next two weeks will be a

major challenge as everything is going to seem tenuous; you could be tempted by people or situations, which seem illusory and insincere. Also, you need to be careful of your own emotions causing havoc, making you insecure and confused and unable to perceive the truth in any situation. And you may be tempted to drink more than you should which is not going to help the situation.

Th e Full Moon falls directly in your partnership house and

therefore certain issues that have been hidden are about to come to the surface. It would be unwise to proceed with any plans for your situation as it is not as it appears on the surface. Hidden information and tensions will emerge and you will need to deal with these with patience and caution. By discussing matters with someone you trust deeply you will fi nd a solution.

Communication problems are abound during the next two

weeks so expect mobile phones to go on the blink and computes to act rather strangely. Transport problems could also prove frustrating, so if you are a public transport commuter expect delays of all sorts for that bus or train to work and if you drive expect the car to behave rather strangely. Paperwork may go missing so do your best to keep a copy of all important documents.

Finances are likely to be weighing heavily on your mind

as you take a look at your fi scal position and realise that it is not as healthy as it should be. Perhaps you’ve been putting off dealing with certain things and now you must make some corrective measures before things get any further out of hand. You may also fi nd yourself over reacting to certain people’s behaviour as you can’t understand them no matter how hard you try.

Your moods are switching from being intensely romantic

and loving to strangely distant and detached. Your partner won’t be able to understand you at all and this is not surprising because you honestly can’t really understand yourself. Th ere is a need for rest, relaxation and to take better care of your health and that of loved ones, as a connection with doctors or hospitals is likely. Allow time for stress to melt away!

With the Full Moon directly in your area of health and work

you need to be careful of over doing things as this will only lower your immune system and make you more susceptible to fl us and viruses. Also you need to be careful of stepping on the toes of certain colleagues as they will react rather sensitively to any criticism. Computers, mobile phones and all electronic equipment is likely to be acting rather strangely.

A number of people have been asking about the ‘Catalyst’ show on ABC about the eff ects of sugar in the diet. If you didn’t see it try

catching it online at iview, episode 16. Talking to others this week we discussed

low fat and often sugary foods and I wasn’t surprised to hear some of the responses. Th e people trying to sell all this low fat food must be worth the billions of dollars they make each year!

Many people think that eating fat is what makes you fat, and that’s great for a company selling low fat products, but here are some things that didn’t make the ads.

When you eat, the food is digested into tiny bits and gets into the bloodstream. Th e hormone insulin is responsible for storing away all this food and getting it out of the blood and into your cells. While insulin is getting that food out of your blood, it shuts down the systems in your body that break down fat for energy until it gets rid of all this energy already in the blood. Th e more insulin released the more storage into your cells is happening.

One of the symptoms of Type I diabetes, where they can’t produce insulin, is weight loss. Th e more often your insulin fl uctuates up and down the more likely you are to suff er a host of things from diabetes II to cardiovascular disease and obesity. Look up ‘metabolic syndrome’.

Guess what food triggers the highest insulin release? Simple sugars. Guess what

type of food doesn’t trigger this insulin jump? Fats. So you could eat fat and stay in a fat burning mode. Eat a heap of sugary food and you turn into a fat storing machine. And yes, sugars get stored as fat.

So don’t be scared of good fats like your meats, nuts and oils or a ripe avocado, they have lots of benefi ts. I have seen a lot of fat people in my time and not one got that way from too many avocados or olive oil on their salad!

For a really interesting read, online search ‘Big Sugar’s Sweet Little Lies’ on the Mother Jones website. Well worth reading.

T his week holistic trainer Shaun O’Brien has written in for us.

I had the family dog at the vet the other day to check out a lump behind his eye. I was told there was a 90 per cent chance it is a tumor. Had it been anywhere else they may have been able to cut it out but because of where it was there was not much chance that we could. As we left the clinic the vet was very concerned as this wasn’t the fi rst case she had ever seen, and they seemed to be happening more frequently.

For years our pet Buster has had a good supply of canned dog food mixed with cooked left overs and special treats whenever he’s been good.

I’ve noticed over the year the ingredients in the cans and treats contain more and more of the cheap stuff like wheat, sugar and salt, stuff that our pets would never have seen in the wild.

It’s ironic that the more we feed our pets and livestock what we eat, the more our pets and livestock get sick. And yet doctors are still baffl ed today as to why cancer is on the rise despite pumping billions into funding research.

I was reminded of a case I read once where the native Eskimos would travel south from their villages to fi nd work

and after a while of eating the western food, heavy in grains, they would soon develop diseases common to the western world. Th e only treatment that seemed to work was to send them back to their native villages and back on their native diet of fi sh and whale, and almost instantly their diseases would dissipate.

So, I have a new mission and an opportunity to try something diff erent. Starting now Buster is going on an eating plan as close to his wild cousins as possible, fresh meat from animals that have fed on grass instead of grains, high doses of omega 3 and no more canned food or salty treats. Fortunately for our pets it’s still possible to get their diets as original as in the wild. Unfortunately for us it’s becoming more and more challenging. But we should really be trying before we end up with news similar to Buster.

S ydney Fringe Festival is bringing theatre “back into Vogue” this spring with a musical called ‘Lifeforce’,

which will feature a string of stars including Marrickville’s own Charlotte Kerr playing the young mum.

‘Lifeforce’ is the story of Ruth, a successful career woman who realises on her 40th birthday that time is running out for her to have a baby. Ruth’s birth mother, whom she has never met, starts to make an appearance in her dreams.

Ruth has to fi nd a way to resolve the mystery of her past at the same time as fi nd a way to fall pregnant – before it is too late.

What follows is an emotional, funny, and contemporary chase through time, conception and memory.

The show features 23 original songs, contemporary and accessible, performed acoustically by the cast of six.

Charlotte Kerr is a relative newcomer to the Sydney theatre scene.

Originally from Wollongong her background is mostly in amateur theatre. Some of the roles she’s played include Rizzo (Grease) and Elinor Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility).

She has also performed in, and has been a musical director for, a number of small cabarets.

A classically trained pianist, Charlotte has performed her own tribute show to Billie Holiday. She is thrilled to be a part of ‘Lifeforce’, and among an exceptional cast and team.

Lifeforce is directed by Joanna Weinberg. It will be showing from September 6 to September 21,

Wednesday through Saturday at 7.30pm. The King Street Theatre is located at

644 King Street (Corner Bray Street),

Newtown. Tickets to this fantastic show are $30 or $25 for concessions. Bookings can be made at www.kingstreettheatre.com.au.

L eonard Cohen is one of the most infl uential and beloved songwriters of his generation and now Australian

audiences will get the chance to see him up close and personal.

The feted musician will visit down under for a series of intimate performances, playing at Sydney’s Entertainment Centre on Saturday, November 16.

Cohen will be joined on stage by his talented nine piece band, which includes Sharon Robinson, the Webb Sisters and musical director Roscoe Beck, and will play at Australia’s major cities and regional towns, as well as performing at music festival ‘A Day on the Green’.

The last time Cohen toured Australia was in 2010, when he won over audiences with his soulful voice and won the Helpmann Award for Best International Contemporary Concert.

With his touching, emotional music, Leonard Cohen is known as a master songwriter and has a long, distinguished discography that spans decades.

Many of his albums are considered classics, including ‘Songs of Leonard Cohen’ (1967), ‘Songs of Love and Hate’ (1970), ‘I’m Your Man’ (1990), ‘The Future’ (1992), ‘Ten New Songs’ (2001), ‘Dear Heather’ (2004) and his most recent record, ‘Old Ideas’, which was released last year.

The talented performer has been induced into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and recognised by music legend Lou Reed as being “without question one of the most important and infl uential songwriters of our time, a fi gure whose body of work achieves greater

mystery and depth as time goes on”.Despite having a 15-year hiatus, which

he ended with a triumphant return to the stage in 2008, Cohen’s performance skills have not waned over the years and instead his shows retain the powerful impact they have always had.

British newspaper The Telegraph praised Cohen’s stage presence, writing – “His three-hour sets are the Sistine Chapel ceiling of live performance: their exquisite beauty renders you silent, sometimes tearful but always grateful to have been able to experience such radiance and

majesty”.Leonard Cohen will perform at

Sydney’s Entertainment Centre on Saturday, November 16. Tickets went on sale on Monday, August 12 at 10am. For bookings or more information, call 136 100 or visit www.ticketmaster.com.au.

BACK TO THE TIVOLI

September 8th 1.00pm

T he new series of ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ premiered on Channel Nine last Sunday and I must say I really

enjoyed it. I wasn’t a fan of the show when it was on Channel Seven, but it’s sure picked up its game and production values since the switch. Unfortunately the much-hyped launch episode didn’t do too well for Nine with just 1.04 million viewers tuning in – the sixth most watched program of the night. To be fair to ‘AGT’ it was up against the powerhouse that is ‘The X Factor’ plus the Federal Leaders Debate which was being screened on every single multi-channel at the same time.

Another show I am enjoying lately is ‘Formal Wars’ on Channel Seven. Despite it being banished to a super late timeslot every Thursday night, it’s still one of the hits of the year in my opinion. The casting of the

students and parents have been just about perfect and it’s actually very entertaining even for a 26-year-old like me!

Channel Nine presenter Sarah Harris has jumped networks and landed at Channel Ten, joining Ita Buttrose and Joe Hilderbrand on ‘Studio 10’. Harris has been at Nine for 12 years and has been involved in a number of shows including fi lling in for Sonia Kruger on ‘Mornings’.

Beautiful Australian actress Jessica Marais has had her American dream cut short after her series ‘Magic City’ was axed after two seasons. The former ‘Packed to the Rafters’ star played a 1950’s Miami trophy wife in the fi ctional drama about mobsters, politicians and entertainers. She’s now just three axed shows away from catching up to fellow Aussie Rachael Taylor

who’s also had a bad run in the US.

Returning to the Lifestyle Channel on Wednesday, August 28 is the popular real estate series ‘Location Location Location: Australia’. Property experts Bryce Holdaway and Veronica Morgan return on a mission to help Aussie families secure their dream home in a new 10 part series.

Everyone’s favourite bathmat, Agro, was back on our screens last week, courtesy of ‘Sunrise’. I’m hearing Agro’s segment was so popular, network bosses are considering giving him his own segment on the afternoon show ‘The Daily Edition’. Better yet bring back ‘Cartoon Connection’!

It’s one of the biggest sports in the world but rarely does it get much coverage, until now. The Sydney Darts Masters, to

be broadcast on FOX Sports, will see 16 of Australia’s best compete alongside the world’s biggest stars for the inaugural title from August 29 to August 31. It will be the fi rst time a World Series of Darts has been staged in Australia with Sydney’s iconic Luna Park hosting the competition. Catch all the excitement on FOX Sports 2 from 8pm starting Thursday, August 29.

Lastly, Channel Ten has confi rmed an airdate for new drama series ‘Wonderland’. No, it’s not about the famous theme park. Set in an apartment building on the doorstep of one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, ‘Wonderland’ is a warm, light-hearted and engaging relationship drama revolving around four couples at very different stages of life and whose lives tend to cross over. It premieres at 8.30pm Wednesday, August 21.

Not often is someone overjoyed by being called a “B Grade” golfer. But that’s exactly what long time Inner West resident Gary

Morrison is.Not only is he a B grader he is club

champion of Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL Club who recently was awarded Member of the Year for 2013.

Born and raised in the United Kingdom, Mr Morrison immigrated to Sydney with his family in 1962.

He began playing golf from the age of 12 and has been a member of the club for 23 years, joining the golf sub-club where he has actively been involved ever since.

His achievements include establishing a Junior Golf Scholarship in 2012 for $500. His sporting achievement was making ‘A grade at St Michaels and winning A grade at the same course.

His role at the club is also considerable. It includes booking the courses and managing 21 games throughout the year. At the end of each game he tallies up the results and determines winners of the day for diff erent categories.

He records all scores throughout the year to determine the recipients for the annual trophies.

After receiving the award for Member of the Year, Mr Morrison said he was overwhelmed.

“It is such a surprise and honour to receive this recognition,” he said.

“I spend so much of my time at the club surrounded by terrifi c friends, and being

able to play golf is just the icing on the cake,” the 56-year-old said.

Th e Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL Club Member of the Year is selected from a pool of candidates nominated by their

peers from the 12 sporting and social clubs within the RSL Club.

It is considered a great honour and tradition; which Mr Morrison will be able to look fondly upon for years to come.

Gary Morrison has been named Member of the Year 2013.

Sydney FC made it a hat trick of wins on its Italian tour with a 1-0 victory over A.S. Cittadella at the Stadio Comunale Picchi in Jesolo yesterday.

A fi rst half goal to former Serie A trialist Vincenzo Italiano was enough for Sydney FC to defeat a youthful A.S. Cittadella side that sat back in defence and tried to hit the Sky Blues on the counter attack.

Th e fi nal 10 minutes saw the Sky Blues pepper the A.S. Cittadella goal as the game was played around the edge of the Italians’ penalty area but Sydney FC could not add to its single goal, running out 1-0 winners.

Sydney FC started its Italian tour with a 3-2 loss to Serie B side Padova in Alessandro Del Piero’s return to his fi rst professional football club , but Sydney FC have since defeated a full strength Serie C side Vicenza Calcio, 3-1 just days earlier and defeated Udinese 5-3.

Th e National Rugby League and Touch Football Australia have launched an historic sporting partnership representing the biggest boost to participation and game development in the history of either sport.

Th e new agreement will bring more than 1.03 million participants together playing in competitions under a joint NRL-TFA banner.

Th is is in addition to the 844,000 girls and boys who currently take part in NRL Development programs each year.

“Th ere is a real opportunity to grow the profi le of touch both as a recreational game and an elite sport,” CEO of Touch Football Australia, Colm Maguire said yesterday.

The Newtown Jets consolidated their fourth position on the ladder by thrashing Manly by 50-32 at Henson Park on Saturday.

Veteran Jets front-rower Khalid Deeb, edging close to his 100 games for the Newtown club, scored in the third minute of play, converted by Ryley Jacks to lead 6-0 in the opening three minutes.

Manly turned on the pace and their style of play was assertive as they dominated the match for the next 20 minutes scoring twice to take the lead 10-6.

Newtown came back and kept peppering the Sea Eagles’ line but to no avail. Th eir persistence paid off however scoring in the 26th minute. Four minutes later they scored another try taking the score to 18-10.

Th e Jets missed a couple of scoring chances approaching half-time, but not before winger Pierce Sapsford showed his class, making a swerving run to the try line and scoring to take Newtown to a half-time lead 24-10.

Th e Jets opened the second half with a frenetic scoring rush through fi ve-eighth Ben Jones who scored twice in the fi rst fi ve minutes.

Newtown’s lead blew out to 42-10 after a string of tries that could only be described as an assault with no respite.

However with a more than comfortable lead the Jets switched off the intensity giving the Sea Eagles a chance to get a sniff when they scored another try taking the score to 42-16.

Th e Jets took their foot off the pedal and the Sea Eagles took advantage scoring three more tries in the last 10 minutes. But the

assault from the northern beaches side was benign as the Jets had too much class on the day. Th e fi nal try of the afternoon went to Newtown winger Adam Henry who dashed over to take the fi nal score to 50-32.

Tomorrow the Jets are away to third placed Newcastle Knights at Harker Oval, New Lambton. Kick off is at 3pm.
