Funding campaign shake-upBY NICK TOSCANOand LAURA LITTLE

EMBRACING creativity and freshideas will be key to catching the ears ofgovernment, according to Wyndhammayor Heather Marcus, following theannouncement of a new congestioncampaign.

The council’s draft 2013-14 budget,tabled on Monday night, includes a$1 million fund aimed at shaking upthe way it lobbies for roads cash.

The campaign will be fundedthrough the capital works programand operating expenditure, aftermunicipal charges were increased by$7.15. The campaign will initially befunded for two years, with the moneyused for council projects and to lobbystate and federal governments to carryout transport works.

Cr Marcus said the council neededto take matters into its own handsafter being overlooked by govern-ments for too long.

‘‘We have lobbied really hard but weare concerned we are getting leftbehind,’’ she said.

‘‘We are concerned that the infra-structure is not being put in place. Ifthe governments don’t start listening,that gap will become wider.’’

Cr Marcus said the campaign wouldbe ‘‘something very different’’.

‘‘This needs to break away fromletter-writing campaigns – there has tobe one message that will grab theattention of everybody.

‘‘It’s very important now that itbecomes a very creative exercise. Wewant to work creatively with theyouth . . . on all media platforms, and Ithink you will see this being somethingvery different to what has ever beenseen before in this city.’’

The draft budget also proposes toraise rates by an average of 5.5 per

cent, boosting council coffers by$138.03 million. The rates bill for ahouse worth $357,000 will rise by5.48 per cent. Garbage charges willincrease from $242 to $250, whilegeneral fees and charges will go upabout 3 per cent. Ratepayers will alsohave to pay a fire levy charge of about$141. If approved, the budget willinclude a $91.89 million capital worksprogram.

The council plans to spend$29.01 million on the first stage of theWyndham Leisure and Events Centreredevelopment, with $10.9 million setaside to begin the Werribee Sports andFitness Centre project. Both will runover two financial years.

More than $27 million will be spenton roads and pavements, including$1.31 million to improve the intersec-tion of Forsyth and Sayers roads and$5 million to build Armstrong Road.

The draft budget is available atwyndham.vic.gov.au, the civic centreand libraries for comment untilJune 12.

Landowners avoid 10% rates riseLANDOWNERS in Wyndham’snorth have avoided having theirrates raised by an extra 10 per cent,but only until precinct structureplans are developed for the area.

On Monday night, WyndhamCouncil approved a 10 per centrebate for urban growth zone rate-payers in areas without approvedPSPs.

The decision follows the releaselast month of state governmentguidelines which outlawed the use ofdifferentials for urban growth land.

The council was forced to reclassifygrowth zone land as residentialdeveloped land, increasing the ratingdifferential from 0.9 to 1.

Landowners will be given a 10 percent rebate to offset the increase. Therebate will be withdrawn once PSPsfor Wyndham north are approved bythe Growth Areas Authority and thestate government.

Cr Peter Maynard said the councilhad carefully considered the minis-terial guidelines to ensure growthareas properties were not adversely

affected, adding the council wouldreview its rating strategy in 2013-14,with residents invited to have a sayon how differentials are applied.

The council has also changed theclassification for late licensed prem-ises, moving them to commercialdeveloped land in keeping with thenew guidelines. Their rating differ-ential will be reduced from 1.6 to1.5, decreasing their rates burden by$8600. The council will recoup themoney through other ratingcategories. — Laura Little

It’s more makeshift classroomsBY LAURA LITTLE

TWO Tarneit schools will be forced to turn toportable classrooms next year after missing out onfunding for stage two works in last week’s statebudget.

Tarneit Senior and P-9 colleges had hoped forfunding for more classrooms to be built but wereleft out of the budget, with the governmentannouncing new schools in Wyndham Vale Southand Truganina.

It is the second year the senior college has gone

without funding for stage two works, estimated at$10 million.

Principal Michael Fawcett said while the fundingsnub would not stop the school from taking morestudents or offering a full curriculum next year,students would have to be taught in portable class-rooms.

‘‘Using relocatable classrooms is not ideal whenare trying to develop a new school. Students neverwant to go into them and teachers don’t like toteach in them,’’ he said.

The school, which is expected to grow to about

350 students next year, already has a 35-year-oldportable building which is used as its administra-tion block.

Tarneit P-9 College principal Peter Devereauxsaid he hoped the money would be allocated to theschool next year, with enrolments expected to growfrom 350 to between 600 and 1000 pupils nextyear. ‘‘The earliest stage two could open now is2015.’’

A spokeswoman for Education Minister MartinDixon said budget constraints did not allow for allschool infrastructure to be funded immediately.

Door shuton housingWAITING times for public housingwill continue to blow out, Wyndhamwelfare groups say, following a recordlow spend on new properties in lastweek’s state budget.

Social housing acquisitions havebeen slashed by nearly 40 per centfollowing the completion of the fed-eral government’s stimulus measures,which provided a one-off fundinginjection to the sector. Statewide, 710properties will be acquired during2013-14, down from 1150 last yearand more than 3800 in 2010-11.

Housing advocates fear reducedfunding will do little to ease the waitlist of 3800 vulnerable people at theSunshine housing office. They say thelist includes nearly 1000 people inWyndham alone.

UnitingCare Werribee Support andHousing chief executive Carol Muirsaid many were left with no place toturn. ‘‘Demand certainly hasn’t decr-eased, and the reality is that at bothnational and state level there is goingto be less and less funding available forpublic housing,’’ she said.

Mother-of-four Tarnya Dingovskilives in a two-bedroom public housingunit in Werribee and has been on thewait list as a ‘priority transfer’ for abigger property since August. Her chil-dren, one of whom has autism andattention deficit disorder, had out-grown the tiny unit and the space con-straints were making life ‘‘impossible’’.

Opposition housing spokesmanRichard Wynne criticised the govern-ment’s ‘‘paltry’’ target for new publichousing. A government spokeswomansaid the locations of 2013-14 acquisi-tions were yet to be finalised, but theprogram would build on more than990 social housing properties cur-rently in Wyndham. — Nick Toscano

‘Long wait’ forriver crossingMOTORISTS in the west could bewaiting up to a decade before a secondriver crossing is built, regional lobbygroup LeadWest says.

The state government last weekannounced that it would spend$294 million over two years to beginbuilding the eastern section of the east-west link, disappointing LeadWest andwestern suburbs councils lobbying forthe western end to be built first.

LeadWest chief executive AntonMayer said prioritising the easternsection of the 18-kilometre roadproject meant the west would be wait-ing until at least 2020 for a secondriver crossing. ‘‘The community willhave to live with the impact of extratruck movements in the west unlessother projects are introduced.’’

Tarneit Labor MP and oppositiontreasury spokesman Tim Pallas saidthe government was forgetting aboutthe congestion problems in growthareas. Western Metropolitan LiberalMP Andrew Elsbury defended thedecision, saying it would benefit thewest by diverting traffic from theM1 corridor. — Laura Little

Wyndham families of children with autism are overjoyed after the state government allocated $8 million in last week’s

budget for a prep to year 12 autism school. The school, co-located on the Laverton P-12 College site, will cater for 140

students from across the western suburbs. It will open in mid-2014 for years 4-7. The school received $4 million in last

year’s budget. Action for Autism Education founders Danny Sorbello and Angela Hickey-Sorbello (pictured at a 2012

protest rally) said the funding gave parents a choice. ‘‘For some kids, a mainstream school is never going to be an

option. This provides choice for parents to choose the best education setting for their child,’’ Ms Hickey-Sorbello said.

Wasting life away sitting in trafficBY NICK TOSCANO

MORE than a quarter of Wyndhamcommuters are blurring the boundar-ies between home and work, spendingat least two hours a day stuck oncongested roads or crowded publictransport.

New figures from the HealthDepartment show Wyndham has thehighest rate of residents statewide,26.2 per cent, who take longer thantwo hours a day to travel to and fromwork. Travel times of two hours a dayequate to 20 days a year spentcommuting.

The findings have fanned fearsamong health professionals about thenegative impact long commutes canhave on life satisfaction and mentalwell-being for those living in urbanfringe areas.

Werribee-based mental healthsupport service, Stepping Up, refers toWyndham as a ‘‘sleeper city’’.

General manager Shelley Cross saidmany workers come home only tosleep, eat and get ready for work –putting them at risk of a range ofnegative health effects.

‘‘Spending so much time in their carsevery day can be depressing. If there’san accident or roadworks, that’s evenmore time people are getting anxiousin traffic, and getting home late meanspeople can be too tired to exercise.Many families have one parent whohas to do all the housework, cleaningand cooking because the other getshome so late, and that can createresentment and affect relationships.’’

Wyndham Private Hospital directorDr Laurie Williams said the state gov-ernment’s decision to bankroll the EastWerribee employment precinct was awelcome move expected to generate50,000 local jobs within 30 years.

‘‘If you have to get in the car at 7 to

get to work by 9, there are psycholo-gical factors that can act out in depres-sion or alcohol or drugs, and there willbe family problems because kids won’tget to see their parents as much.’’

Until two months ago, Point Cookresident Brandon Perry commuted towork in North Melbourne by takingtwo buses, a train, and a 15-minutewalk at each end. ‘‘It would take aboutan hour and a half in the morning, and

at night about two hours because therewas less frequent public transport,’’ hesaid.

Now, choosing to commute by car,the trip still takes him between 45minutes and an hour each way.

He said the biggest battle wasaccessing the freeway or Lavertonstation via Point Cook Road – anotorious peak-hour bottleneck. Butthe father-of-two said getting up

earlier and commuting for longer wasthe trade-off for Point Cook’s afford-able housing and proximity to the city.

‘‘Where we used to live, I workedonly five minutes from home and hadto drive only a couple of blocks.

‘‘Here, there are days when it cantake two hours because of a crash onthe Princes Freeway or signal faults onthe Werribee line, but it just comesdown to knowing what you’re in for.’’

Fourth-worstfruit, veg intakeWYNDHAM residents aren’teating anywhere near enoughfruit and vegetables, according tothe latest population healthsnapshot.

The 2012 survey, conducted bythe state government to gauge thehealth of communities statewide,found that 48 per cent ofVictorian men and 41 per cent ofwomen failed to eat the recom-mended five serves of vegetablesand two serves of fruit each day.

A serve is defined as one half-cup of vegetables and onemedium piece or two small piecesof fruit.

In Wyndham, the outlook wasfar worse, with more than 57 percent of men and 52 per cent ofwomen failing to eat enough fruitand vegetables.

The survey ranked Wyndhamas the fourth-worst municipalityin the state for vegetable and fruitconsumption. Wyndham alsoreported above-average rates ofsmokers, with 23.1 per cent ofpeople aged 18-plus, compared tothe state average of 19 per cent.

Residents’ daily soft drinkconsumption was also aboveaverage. Nearly 19 per cent drinksoft drink every day, compared to12 per cent statewide.

Cancer screening rates forbreast, cervical and bowel cancerin Wyndham were amongthe lowest of all Victorianmunicipalities.

The car might still be king for Wyndham commuters, but Hoppers Crossing’s Chris Morris (pictured) is among a growing

number of residents getting on their bikes to avoid the peak-hour crush. Pedalling from Hoppers Crossing to work at either

Werribee or Sunshine every day, Ms Morris says she’s consistently on time and stress-free. ‘‘In Wyndham, the cars are banked

up on arterial roads before they even get to the freeway and on a bike you just whiz past them,’’ she says. ‘‘Riding to work

means you get to keep fit, and you feel fantastic – you feel like you’re flying.’’ Census data shows the number of Victorians who

travel to work by bicycle only is low compared to other modes of transport. But it has increased significantly, from almost

19,000 commuter riders in 2006 to more than 25,000 last year. Ms Morris says she hopes a bike cage at the new Williams

Landing train station will encourage more people to make the lifestyle change and cycle part of the way to work. ‘‘It makes

getting to work fun instead of being a hassle, and you save so much money.’’

INBRIEF

L-plater leads police on chaseA Hoppers Crossing learner driver, 18, had his

car impounded for a month after leading police

on a chase through Laverton North last week.

In an attempt to evade police the man drove on

the wrong side of the road. He was arrested

and is expected to be charged on summons.

Violent brawl ends in seven arrestsSeven people have been arrested over a

violent brawl in Watton Street, Werribee last

month in which a man’s eye socket was ripped

open. Three Hoppers Crossing men, aged 22,

a Hoppers Crossing woman, 22, a Tarneit man,

22, a Werribee man, 24, and a Wyndham Vale

man, 27 have been questioned by police and

released pending summons. They are being

investigated for affray.

Sacked Linfox worker reinstatedA sacked Linfox worker employed under the

company’s indigenous program has been

reinstated after his plight was reported by the

Weekly. Werribee South’s Michael Hogan, a

picker and packer at the company’s Laverton

warehouse, was the only National Union of

Workers member among four employees laid

off prior to their period of employment reaching

six months, after which time they are entitled to

claim unfair dismissal. The week after our story,

Mr Hogan was re-employed.

Lawyer bares plan to unseat PMBY NICK TOSCANO and LAURA LITTLE

Job ahead: Lalor candidate Nihal Samara, with Wyndham councillor Gautam Gupta.

A WESTERN suburbs lawyer will have the unen-viable task of trying to unseat Prime MinisterJulia Gillard at September’s federal election.

Nihal Samara, 37, has been named as theLiberal party’s candidate for the federal seat ofLalor. He was the only nominee and was form-ally endorsed by the party last Friday.

Mr Samara grew up in the western suburbsand lives in Altona Meadows with his wifeMonique and son Oden, 18 months.

Based in Melbourne, he is the legal directorand senior executive officer at consultancyKaizen Synergy. Mr Samara has worked as alawyer for community groups such as the West-gate General Practice Network and indigenoushealth organisation Gathering Place.

One of his main goals is to create improvedinfrastructure and liveability in Melbourne’swestern growth corridor.

He said the September 14 election would bethe ‘‘most important election in decades’’.‘‘Australians will decide which leader and partywill put the national interests first.’’

Mr Samara said the election would be criticalin steering the future direction of the countrythrough uncertain economic times.

Lalor has been a Labor stronghold for the past44 years. Ms Gillard has held the seat of Lalorsince 1998 and won the 2010 election decisively,with 64 per cent of the primary vote.

Merv Lee was the last Liberal Lalor MP,

holding the seat from 1966-1969. Liberal partystate director Damien Mantach said Mr Samarawas ready to take up the fight.

‘‘All our candidates are on the ground listeningto the concerns of their local communities.’’

$9m project makes inroadsThirty-one residential roads will be

reconstructed as part of a $9 million

council roadworks project. Roads in

Wyndham Vale and Hoppers Crossing

have been included in the project, part of

the 2012-13 roadworks budget. Cr Shane

Bourke said while many of the projects

were aimed at accommodating the city’s

rapid growth, these projects also

ensured the council’s older roads were

maintained.

Celebration of culture, historyWyndham residents will come together to

celebrate the contribution, culture and

history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander people during National

Reconciliation Week. National

Reconciliation Week is celebrated across

Australia each year between May 27 and

June 3. Wyndham’s celebrations will begin

with a gathering on Saturday, June 1 at

limestone artwork Kirrip Warrung Biik,

followed by lunch at Werribee’s Wedge

Street piazza. The city’s libraries will mark

the week with a free screening of The

Sapphires at the Plaza library and

indigenous-themed storytime at the

Wyndham Vale, Point Cook and Plaza

libraries. Details: 9748 9333.

Woman charged over robberyA Werribee woman has been arrested

following an armed robbery at a Melbourne

convenience store last month. Melbourne

Embona detectives charged the woman, 31,

with robbery, theft and assault after

arresting her at a Tarneit house on

April 23. A Doncaster woman, 38, was

charged on April 25. Police said the armed

robbery occurred on Queen Street about

next month.

Carer support groups uniteFamilies and carers of people with mental

illness are being invited to a support meeting

in Werribee next week. Representatives from

Carers Victoria, the Mental Illness Fellowship

and Mind will offer information on the support

they have available. Organiser and carer

consultant Helen Lococo said peer support

was valuable. ‘‘It’s knowing that there

are other people who are dealing with the

same situation, who understand what

it’s like and understand the system

and the difficulty people can have in

accessing it.’’ The meeting is at the

community care units, 131-135 Synnot

A MAN has been charged with murder after abody was found in Tarneit on Thursday night.

Homicide squad detectives chargedKritsingh Dookhea, 35, of Tarneit, with onecount of murder during an out-of-sessionscourt hearing on Friday night. Dookhea wascharged after police conducted an autopsy.

He appeared in Melbourne MagistratesCourt on Monday, where he was remandeduntil September 2. He did not make anapplication for bail.

Police said the body of a man aged in his 30swas found at his house in Felicity Drive,Tarneit, at about 11pm on Thursday.

Police arrived at the house after respondingto reports of a street fight.

Detectives cordoned off part of the street formost of the following day while they checked ablack BMW parked outside for fingerprintsand scoured the street for evidence.

Neighbour Anuraj Singh said he wasshocked when police and paramedics rushedinto their street.

‘‘My wife saw the ambulance and I wasconfused by what was going on.

‘‘I came out . . . and was a bit shocked atwhat was going on. A police officer came out

and told me a man was dead.’’ Dut Deng , afather-of-two who lives opposite the house,said the incident had left him worried for hisyoung children.

‘‘When we moved in here in September lastyear, we thought it was a very quiet neighbour-

hood. We thought it was a good place to live,but when you see things like this . . . it’sterrible,’’ he said

Nearby resident, Billie, who did not wanther surname used, said ‘‘it’s very scary whathappened’’.

Mum guilty ofwelfare fraudBY NICK TOSCANO

A WERRIBEE woman has beenconvicted of defrauding Centrelinkof nearly $15,000 in falsely claimedwelfare.

Meliame Veikoso, 45, last weekpleaded guilty to obtaining financialadvantage after Centrelink foundshe had been claiming a carer’spayment to which she knew she wasnot entitled.

Werribee Magistrates Court heardthat the mother-of-two had made 37false declarations to Centrelinkbetween September 2009 and Marchlast year.

According to the Department ofHuman Services, Veikoso did not tellCentrelink that she had beenemployed on a casual basis duringthat period, in which she earnedabout $65,000 but declared that shehad earned $10,800.

The court heard that Centrelinkhad reminded Veikoso of herobligation to advise about anychange in circumstances and toreport income and employmenthours every fortnight.

Department of Public Prosecu-tions spokeswoman Kathy Medvedsaid the fraud had been picked up byCentrelink’s data-matching system,which compares information onclients with other federal agenciesand government departments.

Veikoso admitted she had know-ingly lied to Centrelink, but said shedid so because her family had been intough financial circumstances.

She was convicted and, havingalready had more than $3000 deduc-ted from ongoing payments, wasordered to repay Centrelink $11,790plus costs.

She was also fined $500 and puton a two-year good behaviour bond.

Reports of residents being pressured into

utilities contracts by forceful salespeople have

raised the alarm of community lawyers.

Wyndham Legal Service’s Shorna Moore

(pictured with Juliet Akello) says many people

have been targeted by power, gas and internet

companies and were being signed up without

their knowledge. “One of the tactics the

salespeople use is to say that people need to

verify their details and then get them to answer

questions on the phone. The people then find

their accounts have been changed. The centre

has dealt with many clients from the Werribee

who come from refugee backgrounds and

have been told . . . salespeople are from the

government, thus intimidating them into

agreeing to switch to their company.’’ A ‘bring

PM ‘yes’ to localcouncil plebisciteBY NICK TOSCANO

LOCAL government is a step closer tobeing recognised in the constitution,but Wyndham Council has not deci-ded if it will ask residents to vote ‘‘yes’’at an election day referendum.

The federal government hasannounced that Australians will votein a referendum when they go to thepolls on September 14 to decidewhether local government should berecognised in the constitution.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said a‘‘yes’’ vote would guarantee the federalgovernment’s ability to directly fundlocal government projects such as theRoads to Recovery program andservices like childcare. ‘‘In just the lastfive years, the Commonwealth haspartnered with local government todeliver over 6000 community projectssuch as libraries, indoor and outdoorsporting facilities, pools, walking

trails, roads and bridges, in every sin-gle community,’’ Ms Gillard said.

‘‘We are proposing a modest andcommonsense change to our constitu-tion that simply reflects the modernreality in our local communities.’’

Wyndham mayor Heather Marcussaid the council would wait and seehow the push progressed before decid-ing whether to urge voter support ofthe referendum.

‘‘We’re at the coalface, we’re avail-able to residents, and people are show-ing more and more interest to ensurethey have a say in what’s going on inthe city they live in.’’

Opposition leader Tony Abbott saidit was a ‘‘bit rich’’ of the government toclaim bipartisanship when it had notconfirmed what the wording of thereferendum would be.

Similar referendums to recogniselocal government in 1974 and 1988were unsuccessful.

Job-ready youth need local opportunities

Break the cycle: Jeff Hamilton and Edna Da Silva want businesses to support Whitelion’s Streets to Work program. Picture: Marco De Luca

BY LAURA LITTLE

BUSINESSES are being urged to helpWyndham’s young people break thecycle of disadvantage.

With youth unemployment inWyndham at about 25 per cent,support service Whitelion is lookingfor businesses to be part of its Streetsto Work program.

The program, aimed at helping atrisk young people find long-termemployment, has been running inWyndham for about eight months.

Senior employment worker EdnaDa Silva said she had struggled to findemployment opportunities for youngpeople taking part in the program.

She had been able to find work inthe telecommunications industry fortwo participants, but both jobs wereoutside the municipality.

‘‘There doesn’t seem to be any realopportunities in Wyndham, so we arecalling on all businesses to get onboard and support our young peoplein our community because they areour future.’’ The program helps those

who have left school and are strug-gling to find work or who have been introuble with the law.

Whitelion western region managerJeff Hamilton said participants weregiven vocational training and supportin their new jobs, with help alsooffered to employers.

‘‘When we match young people to ajob they are job ready and they aresteady. The program is all aboutpartnerships and providing youngpeople with long-term sustainableemployment options.’’

He said Whitelion decided to bringthe program to Wyndham to try andbreak the cycle of disadvantage.

‘‘Wyndham is the fastest-growingcommunity in Victoria and it is under-resourced. We need to meet thecommunity’s needs. If we want crimerates to come down, we need to engageour youth. If we don’t, they will facefurther social disengagement.’’

Jobs are needed in hospitality, ware-housing and logistics, hairdressing,mechanics, administration and retail.More details: 8354 0802.

Fish farm companyscales new heights

Gone fishing: Boris Musa says a grant will promote research. Picture: Mark Smith

A WERRIBEE fish farming company is close tosecuring the world’s first commercial populationof ‘golden barramundi’ with the help of a grantto accelerate research and development.

Mainstream Aquaculture will build a newhatchery at its Werribee site after receiving$1.7 million last month under the federal govern-ment’s Commercialisation Australia scheme. Thenew Lock Avenue facility will test a broodstockof 14 ‘golden’ or albino barramundi. As rare asone in every four million, the unique strain ofbarramundi appear to produce no pigment.

The grant will help the company increase itsoutput and produce fish food barramundi allyear round.

Climate Change Minister Greg Combet saidaquaculture – the harvesting of seafood in acontrolled environment – was the fastest-growing rural industry worldwide and offered asustainable solution to food security.

Mainstream’s managing director Boris Musasaid the grant would help commercialise a decadeof scientific research. He said Werribee was anideal site for aquaculture due to a limitless supply

of heated water from Wyndham’s deepgeothermal aquifer.

‘‘We’ve relied on a prototype at James CookUniversity in Townsville, but now we need tooperate a commercial hatchery.

‘‘With respect to the looming issue of foodsecurity, we can produce an extraordinarily highvolume of food fish – eight tonne of barramundion our 25-square-metre footprint on the door-step of an industrialised city.’’

Mr Musa said commercial golden barramundiwould be highly sought after by retailers.

‘‘If you’re selling fish fillets these are pristine,unblemished white fillets, whereas there isoften blotching on the ones you get in thesupermarket.’’

Demand for food fish was growing at a rate ofup to 9 per cent a year, he said.

While fishing is slowing globally, aquacultureoutput is expected to rise by 33 per cent over thenext decade, according to a 2012 UN food agen-cy report, helping to meet the world’s growingdemand for fish as a source of protein.

Apprenticesscrewed downBY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK ‘The government seems

hell-bent on making itimpossible for youngpeople to get a trade andmake ends meet.’

APPRENTICESHIPS are underthreat, according to Labor, whichpoints to Victoria having 10,000fewer apprentices than last year.

The state budget papers show newapprenticeships and traineeships thisfinancial year fell from 61,360to 51,000.

Altona MP Jill Hennessy saidapprentices couldn’t afford to learntheir trade.

‘‘Second-year apprentices earn ameasly $8 per hour,’’ she said. ‘‘Theyhave to buy tools, meet the costs ofrunning a car, and the TAFE fees havebeen hiked up.

‘‘The $500 support payment [fromthe state government] assistedapprentices and helped take the stingout of some of these costs. The Nap-thine government put up the fees andnow has slashed this modest payment

to help them survive. The governmentseems hell-bent on making itimpossible for young people to get atrade and make ends meet.’’

Education Department spokes-woman Vanessa O’Shaughnessysaid although the $500 apprenticetrade bonus had been removed,apprentices already enrolled wouldstill receive it.

‘‘The [Skills] Minister [Peter Hall]is writing to apprentices this week toassure them that, if they have alreadybegun their studies, they will continueto receive the payments.’’

INSIDESTORY

Peeping from beneath the blunt, heavy fringe, the trademark tresses tumbling over her left shoulder, Judith Durham’s look remains as distinctive as the incredible voice.

Squint and you could be in the Sixties, only as Athol Guy jokes, “My glasses have got thinner and the hair has disappeared.”

It’s the last day of rehearsals in South Melbourne’s Deluxe Audio studio before The Seekers embark on a national concert tour to celebrate their golden jubilee.

Come down from the chill autumn mornings of the Macedon Ranges he’s called home for the past 45 years, Guy is wearing a surgical mask to protect his fellow band members from a cold ahead of their fi rst sell-out performance in Geelong.

Whipping it off for the photo shoot, he scarcely allows himself to breathe over the diminutive Durham. Still they hug and clown between shots with the easy familiarity of old, old friends. Watching them, it’s hard to believe there was ever a 25-year hiatus in relations between Durham and her fellow band members.

While Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger maintained close relations and would re-form three-quarters of The Seekers several times, it seemed that when Durham walked away it was for good. That they remained apart for almost fi ve times longer than they were together is all the more astonishing when you consider just how many records they set in those few early years.

What must it have been like when The Seekers became Australia’s fi rst-ever supergroup hitting the Top Five in Australia, the UK and the US simultaneously?

They had headed to England for what was to have been a 10-week working holiday in 1964 – almost crossing paths with The Beatles, who caused hysteria on what turned out to be their only Australian tour.

If, as John Lennon famously observed, The Beatles became “bigger than Jesus”, The Seekers at their peak were bigger still. Once described by a reviewer as “three bank tellers and a secretary”, they had the power to dislodge the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who and The Beatles from the charts.

But as The Seekers’ popularity grew, Essendon-born Durham was slowly being crippled by eating disorders and anxiety.

“My weight problems had started when I was 15 or 16,” she recalls. “Being an overweight person in blues, jazz and even classical singing was quite acceptable, so I could see myself in those roles.

“When we were catapulted into the pop world I became even more self conscious about the fact I didn’t live up to the image of Carnaby Street and the swinging ’60s.

“I didn’t even realise Britain was swinging when we left Australia. I was still running around trying to match my

handbags and gloves like the Queen. “She was kind of my role model.”

Only the Queen never abdicated. Durham, beloved as she was, did.

“I needed to leave, I needed to do something else. I couldn’t have stayed a Seeker my whole life,” she says today.

Back then, caught in her own bubble, she had no real inkling of the pain she caused fans or even “the boys” as she fondly refers to her fellow band members.

It was perhaps hardest for Woodley, who lost both his band family and his mother within six months of Durham’s departure. He dislikes dwelling on that period but, when pushed, admits when they fi nally came together again there was “unfi nished business and things to talk about. You don’t just wipe away 25 years.”

But with the simple, humble words, “I’m sorry if I ever hurt you”, Durham did just that.

When The Seekers fi nally returned to the studio, the musical rapport that fi rst wowed those lucky 30 or 40 who’d gathered at the Treble Clef on Toorak Road for their fi rst public appearance that seminal Monday night in December 1962 was, in Potger’s words, “absolutely instant”.

“We got together in a little recording studio in South Yarra and Bruce and I fi red up our guitars, Athol fi red up his bass and we started singing I’ll Never Find Another You. It was magic. I still have the cassette. We are putting it on eBay in 2062,” he laughs.

The subsequent concert video of the “little celebration” for the anniversary of the 25-year reunion knocked Michael Jackson’s Thriller 10th Anniversary video off the No.1 spot. The Seekers have been coming together and setting new records on and off ever since.

Last month a portrait of the quartet was hung in the National Gallery in Canberra – 45 years after they were jointly honoured as Australians of the Year.

Between an in-your-face image of Australia’s fi rst lady of rock Chrissy Amphlett and the late Howard Arkley’s airbrushed interpretation of fellow [now former] heroin addict Nick Cave, the work by Helen Edwards looks like a family portrait.

Bold, brassy, larger-than-life Amphlett had died just days before this interview, a fact not lost on The Seekers.

All appreciate the fragility of life. Durham, who with her husband Ron Edgeworth survived a serious car accident at Kyneton in 1990, lost the love of her life to motor neurone disease four years later.

Guy had a lucky escape last year when his BMW – stopped in the emergency lane on the Calder Freeway at Gisborne – was rear-ended at 100km/h by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel.

More recently Potger had a tram crash-test his Volvo in Bourke Street.

“We’ve all had our scrapes,” Guy says. “Yet here we are. We thank God we are still able to get up and play together – the only group as I understand it still together in its iconic form 50 years later.’’

In retrospect, could they have maintained the juggernaut that was The Seekers or did Durham really do them alla favour?

“It became rather academic. We went our separate ways virtually overnight,” Woodley says.

“We were in a syndrome where if you didn’t have a hit with every record you didn’t have a career. We were getting songs like the daughter of Georgy Girl and the son of Morningtown Ride sent to us – there was a lot of sameness to it,” Guy recalls.

“It is extremely diffi cult to judge from within. We made a collective decision we had perhaps peaked and were coasting or cruising,” Potger explains. “But the fans didn’t think that and they showed it in no uncertain terms when we broke up. They kept it all alive.”

What’s the magic to The Seekers? “If only we knew,” Guy laughs. “It is a very inexact science,

but we haven’t manufactured anything more than what happened when we fi rst opened our mouths together on night one.”

“It’s the simple melodies that people can easily pick up on and sing to themselves and it makes people feel good together,” Durham ventures. “It’s the same ingredient as Christmas carols.”

The coffee shop where the quartet fi rst sang is now the headquarters of Audio Hearing Melbourne and while their original audience may well be customers, the Seekers still sound like Christmas … come round again. �

Re: State budget: Point Cook boost atSneydes Road works (Weekly, May 8):What about the people in Tarneit? No wonder thelast mayor was voted out! We in Tarneit have noinfrastructure while the whingers in Point Cooknow have double-lane road upgrades plus a thirdentrance to the freeway, while the majority ofTarneit residents lack footpaths, proper busservices and crappy single-lane roads. Wake upcouncil! Anne

Anne, the people of the west need to vote in acompetent government and not a Liberal one whichis funding a container terminal to the west. Thiscontainer terminal is to ease congestion in the innerwest but will bring the container traffic out furtherto our estates. There is still a lack of investment inpublic transport options.

IT’S not every day that you get the opportun-ity to climb the steps of the MCG.

So when Hoppers Crossing resident DebraDosen (pictured) found out that the world’slongest consecutive stair climb was being heldat the stadium next month, she quickly signedup to take part.

On June 16 Stadium Stomp participants willclimb 7343 stairs on the top and bottom seat-ing levels of the MCG.

Ms Dosen said she viewed the stair climb asa personal challenge and a way to celebrateher recent achievements.

‘‘I have lost 30 kilograms over the last fewyears and have gained fitness and a love of lifealong the way,’’ she said.

‘‘I have overcome debilitating back painwhich has allowed me to lose the weight andget moving again. I also had surgery last yearand underwent extensive physio treatment.’’

Ms Dosen has been training for thechallenge by walking, jogging and taking partin boxing sessions. She has also started visitingthe You Yangs for walks and taken on the 450steps of Flinders Peak.

She is hoping Wyndham residents will spon-sor her effort to tackle the MCG steps andhelp her raise money for her chosen charity,

Ability First. The charity is a national body ofdisability organisations that help childrenliving with polio, cerebral palsy and relatedconditions.

Mum looks to mountainous task aheadTanzanian odyssey is one activist’s personal Everest, writes Nick Toscano

Lofty aspirations: Kirsten Powell will trek upMount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for AmnestyInternational. Picture: Michael Copp

Kirsten Powell is ready to rekindle twopassions that have taken a back seat tobeing a mum.

An avid mountain climber and human rightsactivist while at university, the Wyndham Valeresident will do it all again when she scalesTanzania’s 6000-metre Mount Kilimanjaro toraise money for Amnesty International.

Ms Powell and 20 other Australians will tacklethe world’s tallest freestanding mountain thisJuly on a 12-day journey, hoping to raise at least$4500 to support Amnesty’s human rightsadvocacy.

‘‘When I was quite young, I climbed all themajor mountains around Australia – Kosciuszko,Feathertop, Mount Bogong, Cradle Mountain –but I haven’t done it for a long time because I’vehad children,’’ Ms Powell, 43, says.

‘‘But this will be a whole different experience.’’

The trek will cover rainforest, a subtropicalzone, savannah and volcanic areas, climbingtowards a snow-capped peak and glaciers.

Ms Powell says she’s embarking on the ardu-ous climb for a cause that’s close to her heart,having been heavily involved in human rightscampaigning when she was young.

“One human rights issue that is close to myheart is the status of girls and women. Womenand girls should live in a world offering equalopportunities without the fear of violence that isjustified by what they wear or do.

‘‘I am particularly inspired by the brave exam-ple of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl whorose to international fame after the Talibannearly killed her for her efforts to promote girls’education.

‘‘I was really inspired to take part in the con-text of having done so much when I wasyounger.’’ Her training over the coming monthswill include hiking around the You Yangs.

Australia’s new home for property

Looking at the big pictureFulfil the lifestyle of your dreams in this stylish Werribee home, writes Mark Bunker

26 Riversdale Drive, WerribeeBedrooms: 5Bathrooms: 3 plus powder roomLiving areas: Study, lounge, family-meals, theatre, retreatThe rest: Zoned ducted heating and cooling, ducted vacuum,two entertainment decks, gazebo, spa, pool, double garage,dual access, shed/workshop, CCTV, alarmPrice: $1 millionPrivate saleAgent: Sweeney Estate Agents Werribee, 9974 0922

It’s rare to discover an address that ticks everyconceivable box. Whether it’s the riversideposition, luxurious and spacious interior, or

the numerous outdoor entertainment treats —including a water slide — this owner-builtproperty offers a lifestyle equally enticing foradults and kids.

The facade, a composite of brick and angularrendered walls, includes a wide balcony designedwith river views in mind. The front garden’sunique desert landscaping includes, surprisingly,a quirky roundabout.

The entry hall opens to a study, lounge room,and the garage which is preceded by a walk-through storage compartment with shoe racks.

The family-meals hub is arranged around thekitchen with stainless-steel and glass splash-backs, Caesarstone benches and walk-in pantry.A carpeted theatre room has a built-in screen forthe projector, surround-sound and elevatedseating. There’s a laundry with warming roomsand chute, a resort-style bathroom and powderroom. A corridor links an atrium (with cascadingwater) to three bedrooms with walk-in ward-

robes. Upstairs has two additional bedrooms;one with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe andthe main with twin walk-in robes and an en suite.A retreat area has flooring for a gymnasium, anda study nook with shelving.

Your Outstanding Service…

I wanted to show my appreciation at the service and welcome I have

received from all the staff at YPA.

Ok Bassam you sold and rented my houses and how can I go past this

important point?

John, I want to acknowledge the hard work you undertook to rent my

house when Jayde was away.

I can only speak highly of you all and the whole team.

Having bought and rented two houses thru' Bassam and the team, I want

to inform you all that your company will always be my first choice for new

business in your area without exception.

I also want to inform you that I placed a diary entry to follow up rent review

and to my pleasant surprise i received a very proactive letter from Jayde

providing advice on the rent increase and the inspection appointment. This

was done without contact from me and prior to my follow up.

I really value an agent who acts proactive without contact in the first instance.

You receive commission from me, however nothing compares to the action

taken by Jayde and to know that I can receive advice and proper

management of my property takes a lot of pressure of me.

Please keep up the approach and I will contact you again in the near future

Regards,

L. B.

New train station a big drawcard

Perfect position: Tarneit resident David Hooker and his family have secured a new home in Williams Landing.At right, the newly opened train station.

‘The railway precinct and freewayinterchange position WilliamsLanding as premium retail andbusiness district, providingemployment opportunities . . .’

— Cedar Woods Victorian state manager Nathan Blackburne

Williams Landing, developed by CedarWoods, is proving popular with its1000th buyer moving in.

Tarneit resident David Hooker is having afour-bedroom house built later this year atWilliams Landing and will be joining the 1700residents already living in the growingcommunity.

“Having a family, including two young chil-dren, my wife and I looked for a neighbourhoodwith sizeable land packages, well-appointedparklands and proximity to public transport,” hesays.

“We decided on Williams Landing based onvalue for money and the fact we’re within easywalking distance of the new train station.

‘‘Another big drawcard is the lifestyle benefitsthat the town centre will bring once the shoppingfacilities and restaurants are completed.”

Cedar Woods Victorian state manager NathanBlackburne says Williams Landing offers buyersan opportunity to purchase into a premiumresidential community that includes a majortown centre – perfect for young families like theHookers.

“We’ve experienced a good spread ofpurchasers at Williams Landing. Many vendorslike the Hookers are already living in the westand are choosing to upgrade their lifestyle andbe close to public transport,” Mr Blackburnesays.

“Williams Landing train station reinforces the

success of the community and provides a point ofdifference to other estates.”

Mr Blackburne added that there were few, ifany major estates where home buyers had theability to walk to a train station or bus terminal,all within 25 minutes of Melbourne’s CBD.

“The railway precinct and freewayinterchange position Williams Landing aspremium retail and business district providing

employment opportunities and a high-qualitytown centre to locate businesses.”

Mayoral ColumnI had the pleasure of visiting the Grade 1 pupilsat St James Apostle School in Hoppers Crossinglast week. Eighty-seven very excited youngstudents learned how the City has changedover the years and they asked some very goodquestions. My second school visit was to thepupils at Werribee Primary School to welcomethe Home Peace Run 2013 to Wyndham. It was so exciting to see three Werribee pupilsrun into the School Hall holding the torch.The international peace team started in Canberra on 26th April and will go around Australia until August 15th. By this time, theywill have run over 15,500 kilometres, passing the torch to many thousands of school children, civic leaders and communitymembers along the way. From hand to handand heart to heart, this peace-promoting initiative is a wonderful event. Well done to all. - Heather

Transport is an issue that affectsall Wyndham residents. It’s on

our mind as we travel to work, take the kids toschool or just try to move around this City. This is why in Wyndham City’s draft 2013-14Budget, Council has allocated $1 million overtwo years for a campaign to pressure the StateGovernment to upgrade our road network. This is the first step of many and I encourageresidents to get behind this campaign. - Cr Glenn Goodfellow

Poignant gaze into early dementia

Dementia struggle: HelenMorse stars in Sundowner at

Wyndham Cultural Centre onMay 25. Picture: Jeff Busby

What happens when our loved ones startlosing their memory?That is a question Kage Physical

Theatre co-founder Kate Denborough hopesto answer in her new play, Sundowner. It tellsthe story of three generations of a familygrappling with younger onset dementia.

Mother and grandmother Peggy (played byHelen Morse) is at the centre of the struggle.

Denborough says she began working on theproject with her brother David a few years agoafter noticing Alzheimer’s disease wasfrequently mentioned in the news.

‘‘The more I researched the topic, the morethat the issue of dementia seemed like fascinat-ing theatrical territory,’’ she said.

Denborough worked with Alzheimer’sAustralia and spoke to carers and people withyounger onset dementia who shared their stor-ies. ‘‘I was determined to make a show thatwas not all doom and gloom.

Hearing of their different ways of copingwas so inspiring,’’ she said.

Throughout Sundowner, Morse’s characterstruggles to find ways to communicate withher loved ones and face the changes in herself.

Morse said she was drawn to the role

because her mother had Alzheimer’s.‘‘During a fairly emotional meeting with

Kate, I was impressed by the fact that Kagewas collaborating with the Alzheimer’s associ-ation and was holding forums with familiesand carers dealing with the realities of demen-tia. Every family’s experience dealing with

dementia is unique and personal, but we havetried to reflect some of the situations and chal-lenging behaviour that are commonly facedthrough Peggy and her family.’’

Sundowner is at Wyndham Cultural Centreon May 25 at 8pm. Bookings: 8734 6000.

Name forgesa new path

The day in 2011 when the science centre’sceiling caved in was, in hindsight, the catalystfor a new direction, mission and vision for

Wyndham Central College, says principal JulieMyers.

Formerly known as Galvin Park SecondaryCollege, the school adopted its new name at thestart of this year, heralding a raft of excitingchanges including a curriculum review andcreation of new or refurbished learning spaces.

‘‘Once we received government funding, we sawit as a chance to change so many things,’’ says MsMyers. ‘‘Staff who had been through a decade ofdecline wanted a school they could be proud ofand the changes are bringing that about.’’

The new focus includes the adoption of arigorous academic curriculum and a changeoverfrom open learning spaces to a more structuredclassroom environment.

‘‘We are returning to traditional learning areasfor teaching English, maths and science. Weemphasise good student study habits and organisa-tion of their material which will serve them well inthe future — whether they attend university, start a

career or take up an apprenticeship. They willleave our school with skills to help them navigatelife more successfully.’’

A new year 7 classroom centre, refurbishedscience and food technology centres, updated years10-12 centre, trade training centre, gym andadministration area have begun or are planned.

The college is the first in the Wyndham region tobecome an AVID school incorporating Advance-ment by Individual Determination.

‘‘This program imparts confidence andstrategies to retain knowledge in the pursuit of allof life’s endeavours,’’ says Ms Myers.

“They will have the opportunity to speakwith exhibitors from tertiary institutions andattend workshops.

‘‘This year we’re having our own mini work-shop with a guest speaker discussing ‘FindingYour Groove’, a youth empowerment programgiving students career choices matching theirpersonality and talents.”

The college has different educationalprograms including the Victorian Certificate ofApplied Learning (VCAL), Vocational Educa-tional Training (VET) and the VCE. “VET andVCAL students will benefit from a $3.2 milliongovernment grant to build a Trade TrainingCentre so students can undertake courses in

carpentry, building and construction, furnitureand cabinet making and bricklaying,’’ MsMcDonald says.

Drama and music also play an importantpart with students encouraged to join annualproductions.

“We’re proud of 2012 DUX, Holly Briffa,who attained a score of 99.9 and was offered ascholarship to The University of Melbourne.”

Puppy carers needed!

a division of vision australia

Take care of a puppy and

help change a life…

Being a Seeing Eye Dog puppy carer is possibly the most enjoyable way to volunteer.

Not only do you get to experience the joy of looking after an adorable puppy for about 12

months, without any of the associated costs – you will also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing

you are assisting someone who is blind to live the life they choose.

Seeing Eye Dogs Australia is urgently in need of loving homes for puppies in your area.

For more information please contact Seeing Eye Dogs Australia on

1800 037 773 or visit the website www.seda.org.au

Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras and (insert your name here). Is there, hidden deep within your being, a massive, undiscovered

talent? Is your true destiny to be rich, famous and loved by all? Shouldn’t there be a star on your door?

Seriously, instead of trying out for The Voice shouldn’t The Voice be coming to you? Of course it should and now it will. Well sort of anyway. And all it costsis $229.

Philips has unveiled a combination wireless microphone and speaker for an iPad that, in gentler times would have been called a clever karaoke machine, but it’s 2013 so it’s called The Voice. Get this and the free app that goes with it and you’ll have everything that happens on the hit television show unfolding at home.

The app starts you off with a limited number of songs that you can belt out as the on-screen lyrics change colour to keep you in time with the music. If that doesn’t work there are guiding vocals to help you pick things up. Think of these as the backing singers; when you’re done with them just kick them out of the studio merely by turning their volume down.

It also has auto-tune, which steps in when you have diffi culty reaching some of the more challenging notes. Don’t tell anyone, but professional singers have been using this software for years. When you’ve got it all right,

record the track and a score will be given.By taking part in a blind audition you can see

just how you rate with the coaches and, when your confi dence is up, you can challenge others by dialling up battle mode. Each performance is rated on pitch, rhythm, vocal range and voice quality. You’ll know you’re improving when the computer starts rewarding you with more songs. Or you can pay a subscription (from $1.99 a week) to access the full offering of tracks.

Finally, post your recordings online to fi nd out just how many people out there realise that you have what it takes. You can also put them on Facebook if you’re game.

The microphone is a high-sensitivity unit with a wide dynamic range and you candial in some echo. It also has noise cancellation to ensure full attention is accorded to your talents and not the rude remarks of those muttering through a green haze of jealousy.

The mike is Bluetooth enabled so you can detach it from its stand and wander around the room for more intimate contact with your many admirers. Handy if you wish to throw yourself bodily into the expression of song.

The speaker unit also packs Bluetooth and plays music from compatible smartphones and tablets as well as working in with The Voice.

Just to be safe we’ll end with a screamingly obvious word of warning: Do not attempt to use this equipment in the shower. �

This is The Voice Relive the hit TV show at home, writes Rod Easdown

ritual for many Melburnians, and one thatkeeps many local cafes in business.

But does where coffee drinkers buy their ‘kickstart’reflect how they feel about it?

And electing a coffee brand to enjoy may force achoice involving ethics and the grower — whether toselect a supplier who has given effect to fair, or ex-ploitive, trade.

So getting into a Fairtrade brand may kill two birdswith one stone.

Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand (FairtradeANZ) is a not-for-profit organisation helping ThirdWorld producers of coffee, tea, chocolate andclothing and ensuring they are not taken advantage ofby larger companies.

Business development officer of Fairtrade, DanielMackay, says the rights of farmers and workers indeveloping countries need to be protected.

‘‘Fairtrade is a Third World ethical certificationsystem offering farmers and workers in developingcountries the chance to improve their lives and planfor the future. Consumers can reduce poverty andinstigate change through their everyday shopping bypurchasing Fairtrade products,’’ Mr Mackay says.

Supermarket and coffee shop chains, Oxfam shops,and some independent stores sell Fairtrade coffee,whose labels include Jasper, Republica and Scar-borough Fair.

Businesses have to earn the independent Fairtradelabel for their products — and work to keep it.

And Fairtrade ANZ ensures farmers are paid aminimum price to cover the costs of satisfactory pro-duction.

‘‘Paying the farmers a fair price acts as a safety netfor them when prices fall below a sustainable level.

‘‘They are also paid the Fairtrade premium,generating additional funds to invest in social, envir-onmental or business development projects,’’ MrMackay says.

A relatively minor downside to Fairtrade coffee isthat it may be more expensive for consumers to buy.And once a product is on the shelf, the price chargedis up to the retailer.

But think about becoming a more aware consumerand be part of the revolution — look for the Fairtradelabel before ordering your next caffeine hit.

A genuinely sporting SUVDerek Ogden reviews the Audi SQ5 TDI

Front runner: Audi SQ5 TDI is the fastest diesel SUV in the world.

Perfect backdrop: the Audi SQ5 TDI interior.

The phrase ‘sport utility vehicle’ is bandiedabout recklessly these days, but nothing fitsthe SUV tag better than one vehicle just

released in Australia.The new Audi SQ5 TDI is as sporty as many a

sports sedan. It’s the world’s fastest diesel SUV, atthe same time being as functional as many all-wheel-drive wagons.

Powered by a 3.0-litre biturbo V6 engine, thehot Audi, we are told, will hit 100 kilometres anhour from standstill in 5.1 seconds. Yet it can slip

off the bitumen to take on dirt, gravel, snow orsand like any soft-road trouper.

The maker says the high-performance dieselengine needs only 6.8 litres of fuel per 100 kilo-metres to keep it going on the combined urban/highway consumption cycle.

This low consumption puts the SQ5 TDI underthe luxury car tax threshold, a saving in this caseof $3000, passed on to buyers who shell out the$89,400, plus on-road costs, to drive away inone.

The S sport suspension, lowering the body by30mm over the standard Q5, the Audi driveselect system and 21-inch wheels in five parallel-spoke design, had the car gripping the road withgreat effect through fast bends. It was hard tounsettle the SUV, even on dirt.

However, it was when the SQ5 came to over-taking that the 650Nm of torque on tap reallycame into its own, the car passing slower trafficwith confidence and pulling away with an assur-ance bordering on arrogance.

The sporty interior, in black, with an optionalsilver headlining, is designed to provide the per-

fect backdrop for world-champion performance.On the practical side, the car carries four drink

holders, plus bag hooks. The electric tailgate canbe programmed for opening height with thoughtfor the vertically challenged.

On the outside the SQ5 is just as striking, withdesign details such as the platinum grey single-frame radiator grille with galvanised dual struts

in aluminium look, the roof spoiler and modifiedbumpers setting the SUV apart from the standardmodel. Roof rail cross bars are included.

The exterior mirror housings are in an alu-minium look, xenon plus headlights with LEDdaytime running lights are standard and theexhaust system stands out at the rear with fourelliptical tailpipes.

Hotel-room comfort on wheelsEwan Kennedy road tests the fourth generation Range Rover

Immaculate standard: Large and imposing, the all-new Range Rover works brilliantly.

Julie and I settled into our leather-trimmedlounge seats. We turned on the TV, couldn’tfind anything to interest us, so went instead

to a movie on the DVD player.It was time to get moving to meet friends at a

new coffee spot. So I fired up the superchargedV8 engine in the front of our hotel room and setoff down the road.

The all-new Range Rover really is like a mobilehotel room. It is spacious, luxurious and finishedto an immaculate standard in top-line leather,timber and alloy.

I wanted to key the details of the new coffeeplace into the Rangie’s sat-nav.

Not a problem. We pushed the pause buttonon the DVD, keyed in the coffee shop’s address,then hit ‘play’ on the DVD. Julie put on head-phones to watch the movie and I looked at thesame centrally mounted screen to see the satellitenavigation route.

That’s right! The same screen. From thedriver’s seat I watched the sat-nav map; from thefront passenger’s seat the movie was playing.

New, fourth generation Range Rover is consid-erably larger than the original launched morethan 40 years ago, but it retains enough visualfeatures to instantly make its heritage obvious.

The previous Range Rover was disgustinglyoverweight. The designers have managed to pull420kg out of the new one. This weight reductionhas been achieved despite the vehicle being signi-ficantly larger and more spacious. Improvementsto the engines, transmissions and aerodynamicshave resulted in fuel and CO2 cuts of as much as22 per cent. That’s clever.

Supercharging a five-litre V8 petrol engineresults in a powerplant that can rocket thismobile hotel room from rest to 100km/h in5.4 seconds. The boot is huge and easy to loadthrough the two-piece, horizontally split tailgate.

The gen-four Range Rover is even morecapable than its forebears in serious off-roadconditions — and that’s saying something.

Prices start at a big $168,900 and range all theway up to a sky-high $240,100 for the super-charged V8 petrol.

Citroen’s seductive offerFrench maker cuts price on C4 Seduction, writes Ewan Kennedy

Pride of place: The pretty little Citroen has the company’s distinctive back end with the interlocking gears.

Distinctive: Iconic French flair.

Yet another reduced price offering from aEuropean car maker — this time the iconicFrench marque, Citroen, with one of its C4

variants.Fuelled by the ever-increasing car sales

strength in Australia, the rise of our dollar andthe moribund nature of the European auto mar-ket, Citroen is offering its C4 Seduction 1.6Le-HDi Diesel EGS from a mere $25,990 drive-away. This is a saving of $2000 on the previousrecommended retail price. On-road costs had tobe added to that old price, pushing it close

to $30,000 in many areas.Citroen C4 Seduction 1.6L (etc) is powered by

a direct injection turbo-diesel engine that fea-tures the company’s Stop & Start system. Thisputs the engine into idle mode as the driver decel-erates and turns it off when the C4 comes to astop. The moment the driver takes their foot offthe brake, the engine restarts, doing so with aminimum of vibration.

Citroen tells us its Stop & Start helps reduceCO2 emissions by about five grams per kilo-metre. Even better, fuel consumption is pulleddown by 15 per cent in heavy-duty city driving.The 1.6 turbo-diesel engine is mated to an Elec-tronic Gearbox System automated manual gear-box that provides either full automatic shifts, ormanual changes via the steering wheel mountedpaddles.

The pretty little Citroen C4 hatch has the com-pany’s distinctive front end with the interlockinggears that form the company’s logo. But it has tobe said the rest of the vehicle doesn’t really createexcitement in its shape.

Citroen C4 is a five-door hatch that has good

interior space for four adults. It provides a com-fortable ride. It is neatly balanced and will appealto those wanting to get clear of the competent butboring Asian range of cars.

Even this low-cost Citroen comes as standardwith driver assistance technologies that includeABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution(EBD), Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA),

intelligent traction control and Electronic Stabil-ity Program (ESP).

Should these primary safety items not save youfrom having a crash the C4 is fitted with six air-bags (driver, front passenger, side and curtain).

The drive-away offer for the Citroen C4Seduction 1.6l e-HDi Diesel EGS is availableuntil June 30.

Make mine a Mokka, says OpelGerman company’s compact SUV is coming, writes Ewan Kennedy

Sculpted body: Bold lines of the new Opel Mokka will be a strong selling feature.

Only a few months after the Opel Mokkacompact SUV went on sale in Europe, Opelhas announced that the Mokka is on its

way to Australia. It will hit showrooms here “inthe third quarter of this year” — the Germancompany won’t be more specific about timing.

Opel Australia’s managing director, Bill Mott,said the Mokka will be very welcome DownUnder.

“We are very excited to bring the Mokka toAustralia. This car has already had in excess of100,000 orders in Europe since launch, and withthe Australian SUV segment growing 22 per centin the last 12 months it is certainly a space wewant to be playing in.’’”

We witnessed the global debut of the Opel Mo-kka at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012 and likedits positive stance and bold lines. It has a sculptedbody in keeping with the latest thinking in thisfast-growing market segment. Opel says Mokkahas been given a sporty edge with well-definedlines.

The interior of the new Mokka centres on a

wing-shaped instrument panel that blendsaround the door inserts and the sculpted surfacesin the doors.

The Mokka will be launched in Australia witha turbocharged 1.4-litre turbo-petrol enginemated to either a six-speed manual or six-speedautomatic transmission. This engine is familiarto Australian drivers of the Holden Cruze and isone of our favourite powerplants.

A turbo-diesel is an option in the Mokka inother markets.

In keeping with most SUVs these days theMokka will be available with either front-wheeldrive or 4WD. The latter using Opel’s adaptiveall-wheel drive technology.

The Opel Mokka is a five-star Euro NCAPvehicle.

Though still a newcomer in Australia, Opel isbig in Europe and was the fourth largest auto-motive brand in that area in 2011, with over 1.2million vehicles sold. Many Opels with Holdenbadges (Barina, Astra, Vectra among others)have been sold in this country in past decades.

The Devils were neck and neck with theBroncos throughout, but broke the gameopen in the third quarter on the back of astellar defensive effort.

They conceded just 10 points in theperiod.

The Devils’ consistency from start tofinish is what got them over the line.

Josh Oswald was the most prolific Devilwith 24 points and 13 rebounds, while statsheet stuffer Jordan Hughes produced 20points and five rebounds.

Easy does itfor CentralsWERRIBEE Centrals strived for perfectexecution on attack and in defence, andachieved that goal in a 59-22 thrashing ofInverleigh in the Geelong and District Net-ball League A grade on Saturday.

With team leader Nicole Stewartunavailable, Mickayla Ward stepped upinto the captaincy role and pointed theway, shooting at 100 per cent for half thegame before settling on 20 goals and tak-ing best-on-court honours.

Amanda Wilson and Noni McClurewere outstanding defensively, workingtirelessly to pressure the Inverleigh goalersinto submission.

Hailey Sildatke offered plenty of drivein the mid-court.

The story of the day was Eleanor Tubbs.The goaler who stepped up from B

grade to work alongside Ward madeaggressive leads up the court and into thegoal circle, making life easy for the attack-ers to feed the ball in. She finished with 39goals in a top-notch display for theunbeaten ladder leader.

Undisciplined Bears fail to upset RoostersA HALF-baked performance did not cut it for theWerribee Bears in a 38-16 blow-out loss to defend-ing champions Altona Roosters in the VictorianRugby League first grade on Saturday.

The Bears held sway for a 10-4 lead at half-timeon the road at Loft Reserve, but they were overrunearly in the second half of the western derby andblown away in dying stages.

‘‘We held strong in the first half,’’ Bears coachGrant Paaka said.

‘‘We had the wind at our backs, which gave us abit of momentum.

‘‘In the second half, I think discipline let us downand our fitness, running into the wind, caught upwith us and Altona ran away with the game at theend.

‘‘The last 20 minutes they switched off, they sortof gave the game away, which was disappointing.’’

The key word for the Bears was discipline — or a

lack of it. The club underwent a big replenishmentof their playing stocks in the off-season and handeddebuts to some of their newcomers.

Paaka believes a handful of the new recruits werea tad over-enthusiastic in trying to make a firstimpression and let their discipline slip.

‘‘Melbourne is offering a lot of employment atthe moment, so we’re getting a lot of people intothe club from interstate,’’ he said.

‘‘We’ve got guys from as far away as the North-ern Territory, Townsville, guys have moved fromNew South Wales and also a lot of boys from NewZealand.

‘‘With guys that are new, they were trying tomake a physical impression, but if they had’veplayed their natural game, the discipline wouldn’thave been as bad as what it was.’’

Captain James Tewhata was the pick of the Bearson a difficult opening to the season.

The second-rower was high up in the tacklecount and was dangerous with the ball in hand.

Lock Michael Talaepa, a new recruit from NewSouth Wales, added a menacing touch to the Bearsforwards.

He capped a solid debut with a try.Full-back Zac Holstein also impressed in his first

outing since moving south from Townsville.Holstein showed that he will be a handy club-

man, putting his hand up to play in the under-manned reserves, on top of his first grade duties.

‘‘He was the true definition of leading by exam-ple,’’ Paaka said. ‘‘He his body on the line to save acouple of tries.’’

The Bears will meet the North West Wolves inthe third round. — Lance Jenkinson

Hornets’ rookies show stingBY LANCE JENKINSON

Break free: Truganina’s Neel Chand sets off on a mazy run. Picture: Darren Howe

IF you are good enough, you are old enough at theTruganina Hornets.

Hornets coach Sergio Lunedei has thrown anumber of rookies into the fray of the Football Fed-eration Victoria men’s state league 5 west withpleasing results.

‘‘I believe a lot in these young fellas,’’ he told theWeekly.

‘‘My team is pretty much full of young peopleand I don’t find no difficulty in letting a 16 or 17year old play in the team.

‘‘They’re up for the challenge, they’re doing theirbest and I’m really surprised to see all of thistalent.’’

The Hornets are not yet a contending side in thedivision, but they a rapidly improving.

They were desperately unlucky to come awayempty handed from their clash with MelbourneCity on the road at Edwards Reserve on Saturday.

Lunedei questioned the validity of City’s winninggoal, which he says was adamant did not cross theline, another one for the dubious goals committeeone could say.

‘‘That last goal, I don’t know how the refs saw it,but we [Rocco Giovanniello] cleared the ball and itwasn’t even close to the line,’’ he said.

‘‘It was out by at least half a metre.’’The Hornets are more peeved with their own

ineptness in front of goal.The midfield five of Giovanniello, Anthony

Comito and Neel Chand centrally and Agon Bahtiriand Edgar Lopez out wide created a bevy of scoringopportunities.

‘‘We didn’t put away the chances we created,’’Lunedei lamented.

‘‘We created a heap of chances and if you don’tput them away, you pay.’’

The Hornets did make hay from the set pieces.Captain Comito scored twice into the top

corners from free kicks. ‘‘He just took off the cob-webs off the corners,’’ Lunedei said.

One win from five games is nothing to writehome about, but Lunedei is adamant his young

team is on the improve. ‘‘We’re just getting moreconfidence, day after day,’’ he said, ahead of atough encounter on Saturday at Arndell Parkagainst an in-form Brimbank Stallions.

In other games, Werribee City and FawknerBlues played out a 1-1 draw in state league 1 atGalvin Park on Sunday.

The Bees are sitting fifth, just four points behindladder leader Heidelberg United, with the two sidesclashing in a blockbuster at Olympic Village onSunday.

Hoppers Crossing picked up its first point of theseason in state league 4 in a nil-all draw with rivalsGeelong Rangers at Grange Reserve.

It was not enough for the Reds to move out of thecellar.

Point Cook and the red hot Sebastopol Vikingsfinished 1-1 in state league 5 at St Georges Reserve.

‘Everywhere man’ proves worthBY LANCE JENKINSON

OUTSIDE of big-name recruit Paul O’Shea, whohas 20 goals in six Western Region FootballLeague division 2 matches this season, Wyndham-vale has lacked the firepower inside forward 50 tokick a winning score against the premiership-contending sides.

So, the Falcons turned to swingman DanielBunworth, who went some way to alleviating thatproblem with four goals in Saturday’s hard fought15-point win over Sunshine Heights at Wyndham-vale Reserve.

Bunworth presents a dilemma for the Falcons,the classic case of wishing you could have one ofhim at either end.

He is more than capable in defence, on the ballor up forward, so player-coach Luke Dennerleyhas to use him where he sees fit against a particu-lar opposition.

With O’Shea booting two goals, below his goalsper game average, the decision to move Bunworthforward was a match winner in a close game.

‘‘He plays everywhere, whether it be midfield,onball or back. It’s a week to week proposition onmatch-ups and where we need to stretch opposi-tion or where they’re stretching us,’’ Falcons pay-ing football manager Nathan Evans told theWeekly.

‘‘He played really well, took some really goodpack marks and kicked a few.

‘‘Without O’Shea kicking a great deal, it wasgood to see him pop up.’’

The Falcons were in desperate search of a pick-me-up after a tough opening five weeks to start the

season. They had beaten up on the lesser lights,but lost to contenders Glenorden and Parkside inthat time.

Sunshine Heights, a notoriously tough nut tocrack and one that is relishing life in the secondtier after a frustrating period in the top flight,presented a chance for the Falcons to claim a realscalp.

As predicted, the Falcons were made to workfor it every step of the way, but they found a way.

‘‘We needed to play some good footy in a hard

game,’’ Evans said. ‘‘That’s what we got againstSunny Heights. They’re a good side, they’re aproud club and we know from the history of thelast few years, they don’t go down without fight-ing.

‘‘They’re known for having a dip till the finalsire. They did that and we were rapt to get over theline.’’

The Falcons are renowned for their hard run-ning from first whistle to last.

They also have one of the most miserly defencesin the competition.

The Heights kicked a woeful 10 goals from 26scoring shots, but that was largely due to the dis-cipline of the Falcons backline that forced them in-to difficult shots all afternoon.

‘‘They didn’t get a great deal of set shots for goaland if they were, they were on really tight anglesand there weren’t many right out in front,’’ Evanssaid. ‘‘That’s a credit to our backs for reallysqueezing the opposition and making them leadwide.’

Noa Fonua, the cousin of Melbourne Storm starMahe, is proving a shrewd acquisition for the Fal-cons.

The bull-at-a-gate onballer was recruited fromLancefield only weeks ago and is already showinghis worth. ‘‘He’s set the place alight,’’ Evans said.

‘‘Come the business end of the year, he’s goingto be very important for us with his head over theball attitude and the way he goes about it.’’

Others to influence the win included DevanEllis, Cameron Beazley and Jayden Wood.

The Falcons will face Albanvale on the road atRobert Bruce Reserve on Saturday.

Tigers kepthonest byMonashWERRIBEE was challenged early in thesecond half by plucky cellar dweller MonashUniversity, before running out 3-1 winners inthe Hockey Victoria men’s league 1 on Sat-urday.

The Tigers went into the half-time breakwith a two-goal lead, but Monash madeall the play out of the break to halve thedeficit.

The travelling Tigers would find a thirdand decisive goal to pounce on their first winunder new coach Cam Whyatt against hisformer club.

‘‘They put us under the pump for about 10or 15 minutes straight after half-time, but weheld them out,’’ Tigers captain Ross Cowli-shaw said.

‘‘There was a lot on the line, we needed tokick start our season and get the three pointsand that was the emphasis.’’

Despite being winless, the Tigers wereraging hot favourites heading into the game.

Monash had endured a hellish openingmonth, leaking goals at a rate of almost sixper game.

On the other hand, the Tigers had a num-ber of close games with highly rated oppon-ents, but were simply outclassed.

Cowlishaw said his workman-like sidewas not going to be lulled into a false sense ofsecurity.

‘‘Any game is dangerous if you don’trespect the opposition. They were bottomand haven’t really been close to anyone, sowe thought we had a chance, but we gavethem the respect. We went and got the jobdone.’’

The Tigers were again blunt in theirattack. They scored through the sticks ofJosh Pace, Matthew Skoglund and first-gamer Brandon Dent, but were exposed to apotential late comeback after failing on anumber of other chances.

The Tigers’ brute force in the close-in con-test won the day for the visitors.

‘‘We didn’t execute as well as we wouldhave liked,’’ Cowlishaw said.

‘‘But we did hit the ball hard, like 50-50balls we put our body on the line, we tackledhard and we were a lot fitter, so we had a lotmore run than they did.’’

Skoglund and Andrew Purcell had amassive impact for the Tigers in midfield.

But Pace was best afield for his hardrunning when the game was on the line.

‘‘He had a lot of opportunities in the circleand created a lot of opportunities for theother guys,’’ Cowlishaw said.

The Tigers will face Yarra Valley in a twi-light game at the State Netball and HockeyCentre on Saturday.

Werribee was the latest to beat up onstruggling Frankston in the women’s league2, routing the bottom side 11-0.

HOPPERS Crossing barely provided a yelp in ashock 63-point loss to Sunshine Kangaroos in theWestern Region Football League division 1 atKinder Smith Reserve on Saturday.

The Warriors were on the back foot in aninstant, trailing seven goals to three at quarter-time — and it only got worse.

While the Kangaroos are proving a rejuvenatedforce with former Western Bulldogs Mitch Hahnin the ranks, the Warriors did not help their owncause, converting just 10 of 27 scoring shots.

They will find it hard to make a return to thewinner’s circle with reigning premiers AltonaVikings paying them a visit on Saturday.

In division 2, it was Yze does it for Glenorden,who took outright top spot with a 97-point dis-mantling of Manor Lakes in super Sunday foot-ball at Heathdale Reserve. The Hawks handed adebut to one-time Melbourne star Adem Yze, whobooted seven goals and combined with his brotherDamien (six) for 13 of the team’s 24 goals.

John Zangari, Tristan Angelini and Marc Yateswere the top-three players for the high-flyingHawks. Not even five goals from Mathew Zurekcould kick-start Sanctuary Lakes in its 56-pointloss to Braybrook at Pennell Reserve.

■ In the Victorian Amateur Football Associ-

ation, Werribee Districts improved on its usualslow starts with a competitive first term at SoldiersReserve, but fizzled out late in a 91-point defeat toCaulfield Grammarians in Premier B.

The Dean brothers, Matthew and Travis, andAdam Alifraco fought hard for the Tigers, whileRyan Harrington (three) and Chris Molivas (two)offered bite to the attack.

In division 3, Old Westbourne was within strik-ing distance of Albert Park at three-quarter-time,but ran out of petrol to lose by 48 points atBeaurepaire Pavilion. Chris Sneddon booted two

for the Warriors and was his side’s best player.In division 4, Point Cook lost for the first time

this season, by 13 points in a nailbiter away toWest Brunswick at Ransford Oval.■ In the Geelong and District Football LeagueSmiths Holden Cup, Werribee Centrals produceda scintillating comeback to beat Inverleigh by ninepoints at Galvin Park.

This week I catch up with young Kangaroos player Tim McGenniss who has been playing at Werribee.

SW: How is it going mate?

TMc: We just had a hard training session but we have the weekend off which I am really looking forward to.

SW: What are your plans?

TMc: I will head home and see my mates and probably watch them play in local footy in the arvo and obviously head to the Kangas game against the Bulldogs then just relax and freshen up for next week.

SW: Where is home?

TMc: Beautiful bayside Frankston.

SW: What club did you play for?

TMc: Frankston YCW and they are a pretty handy club they have won the last three premierships and probably favorites to make it four this year.

SW: What was your pathway to becoming a Kangaroo?

TMc: I played local footy up until the last year of the under 18’s and I got picked for the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup and played a few games and lucky enough to get picked up in the rookie draft this year.

SW: Who were some of the players you came through with?

TMc: Taylor Garner who is also at the Kangaroos, Lachy Whitfi eld, the number one pick, Lewis Pierce and Nathan Wright(St. Kilda).

SW: Does it make it easier coming into AFL with someone you played with?

TMc: It defi nitely helps; Taylor was already here so he showed little things to do.

SW: A Little birdie told me you were a different body shape when you were 15?

TMc: Yes I was probably 94 kilos and 177 centimeters tall and my nickname was “Plugger” because I played full forward. I started going to the gym and started running, ate healthy and got fi t. It was defi nitely my diet. I probably ate three kilos of salami a week and lots of chips with gravy.

SW: Any players that you are following as a role model type?

TMc: On the track I always watch Sam Gibson and Andrew Swallow because they are the ultimate professionals.

SW: Drafted to North Melbourne but you are playing for Werribee How have you found that?

TMc: At the start it was a bit awkward. After round one playing a game together all the boys get around you. It is pretty much like it is your footy club. Once you embrace it, it is good. I am enjoying my footy at Werribee.

SW: What are your aims for this year?

TMc: Personally I just want to play consistent footy, not be in one week out the other. Just want to keep getting my hands on the ball and playing my team role. Hopefully getting some wins on the board and hopefully play deep into the fi nals.

SW: Thanks for your time.

Adopted son stars against VicBY DANIEL PAPROTH

Got him: Ben Rosstries to get the ballaway for Victoria ashe is tackled.

WESTERN Region Football League productWayde Twomey summed up the mood in theWestern Australian camp when he acceptedthe Simpson Medal as his side’s best in a17-point win over Victoria.

The former Port Melbourne Colts playercould barely contain his excitement and cameexcruciatingly close to dropping the f-word ashe spoke of his adopted state’s achievement —WA’s first win over the Big V since a State ofOrigin match in 1991.

It was a lighthearted moment that relievedthe tension of the two hours prior.

The Victorian Football League and the WestAustralian Football League fought fiercely in asuperb game of state representative footy.

The game fluctuated wildly. The BlackSwans had all the momentum early but missedseveral shots on goal. At the other end, theVics were simply making the most of theirchances. Port Melbourne’s Josh Scipione andFrankston’s Michael Lourey imposed them-selves on the contest with goals.

Trailing by 22 points at quarter-time, WAroared back into the contest in the secondterm before before Werribee’s Ben Warrengoal steadied the tide for the Vics.

Enter Twomey. The Swan Districts defenderturned the game with five goals up forward, amove by coach Marc Webb that proved amasterstroke.

The Big V got out to a lead of 31 points dur-ing the third quarter when Dolphin Sam Lloydkicked his third and fourth goals.

But from there it was all Black Swans. TheVics would kick just one goal for theremainder of the contest as WA turned on theafterburners.

In particularly dazzling piece of play, Mar-lon Motlop ran the ball all the way down theouter wing, kicked to Brennan Stack who mar-ked strongly and kicked truly.

Victoria was not without its chances in thelast quarter, going inside 50 on several occa-sions, but the West Australian defenders madea contest of everything. Forward thrusts from

the likes of Tiger Ben Ross and Williams-town’s Willie Wheeler either sailed overtargets’ heads or were repelled by a swarm ofBlack Swans.

Western Australia kicked the only five goalsof the final term to run out winners, 17.16(118) to 15.11 (101).

Four Tigers were played the match — War-ren, Ross, Scott Sherlock and Jake Wilson.Ross was best 14 touches through the middleof the ground, Sherlock had 12 and crashed

packs all afternoon, Wilson had 11 touchesand three rebound fifties. Warren kicked twogoals from nine touches and six marks.

Port Melbourne’s Chris Cain was awardedthe Frank Johnson Medal as Victoria’s best.

Toyota is shaking up the Australian automotive market with a new fi nance plan that guarantees the future value of its vehicles*.

The company launched Toyota Access, which it says off ers customers a more aff ordable and fl exible way to buy a new motor vehicle.

Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Matthew Callachor said Toyota Access - available on all new Toyota vehicles - meets customer demand for a low deposit, low repayments and a fi nancial guarantee.

“Toyota Access guarantees that the resale value of your Toyota will never be less than the fi nal payment, totally removing any risk of being out of pocket,” Mr Callachor said.

“Monthly instalments are fi xed, so there are no hidden fi nancial surprises, and they are often more aff ordable than with other forms of borrowing,” he said.

“As a result, customers may be able to upgrade their

choice of vehicle, or add extras like accessories - and even purchase a brand-new model more often.

“Flexible terms also mean that customers can benefi tfrom low maintenance costs through our capped-price servicing plan - in fact, they may never be out of warranty.”

Mr Callachor said that, with traditional fi nance, many people entered long fi nance terms - up to seven years − in a bid to reduce their monthly repayments and fi nal payout.

“One of the great concerns highlighted by our customer surveys is that, at the end of the fi nance term, the amount owing might be more than the value of the car.

“With Toyota Access, we have set out to eradicate that concern.”

Toyota Access works by deducting a customer’s deposit from the amount to be fi nanced and deferring to the end of the contract an amount equivalent to the minimum Guaranteed Future Value**.

The maximum term is four years (48 months) and the contract is subject to fair wear and tear guidelines and agreed kilometres being met.

At the end of the contract period, owners can upgrade to a newly fi nanced Toyota, pocketing the diff erence if the market trade-in value of their Toyota is higher than the minimum Guaranteed Future Value.

Alternatively, they can pay the Guaranteed Future Value and keep their car, or hand back the car to their dealer and walk away with no more to pay^.

Mr Callachor said Toyota Access would appeal especially to owners who wanted the fl exibility to update their Toyota to suit their changing circumstances.

“If, for example, a customer wants a bigger Toyota as their family grows, they can update more easily.

“For most people, family planning and fi nancial planning go hand in glove. Until now car fi nance hasn’t necessarily been part of that consideration. Now it can be.
