Toorale deal won't help lower lakes: Wong .Federal Water Minister Penny Wong says the
Government's latest water purchase is unlikely to provide immediate relief for the lower
lakes of the Murray River. The Federal Government joined with the New South Wales
Government to purchase the 91,000-hectare Toorale Station near Bourke for almost $24
million last night. She says the benefits will be felt in the immediate area rather than
downstream. Senator Wong says the 20 billion litres attached to the farm will be returned to the
Darling River. "In other words, this demonstrates the difficulties we face in the
Murray-Darling Basin. "Purchases upstream will in these current dry conditions find it
difficult to make their way in substantial amounts to the lower lakes," she said. The deal
is part of the Commonwealth's water buyback scheme and is expected to return around
20 billion litres of water a year to the Darling River." NSW Deputy Premier Carmel
Tebbutt says Toorale holds the entitlements to extract 14 billion litres of water and has
the rights to harvest water from the flood plains. "I think it is an anti-rural or anti-rural
Australia act to buy some of the best, most productive country in western NSW, and simply turn it
into a park," he said. - 'Anti-rural' - But Opposition water security spokesman John
Cobb says the end of farming on the station will be devastating for the Bourke region.
[The move is] taking out of production some of the most productive land in western NSW.
"That is simply a sop to the NSW Green movement and the NSW Government who are on
a land grab, always have been. Toorale Station not only has significant water
allocations, it is also a big local employer." And some residents around Bourke are
worried about their livelihoods in the wake of the buy-out. "Loss of jobs, loss of income
to locals. Bourke councillor, grazier and truck driver Andrew Lewis is about to lose work
through the deal and says the joint government purchase of the station will hit his
neighbours hard. "It'll affect a lot of people, affect the community. Even myself, I'm at
the moment doing a job carting their corn over to Gunnedah," he said."
Varanus Island gas explosion remains a mystery .The cause of the Varanus Island gas explosion
remains a mystery with Apache Energy refusing to reveal any details of their
investigation into the incident which shut down a third of WA's gas supply. After two
months the company has resumed partial production but will not say which industrial
customers will be the first to receive the additonal supply. Homeowners were also urged
to cut down their energy use. The explosion at Varanus Island on June the third caused
widespread havoc in WA, leaving hundreds of businesses with reduced energy.
However, the Chief Executive Officer of Apache Energy, Tim Wall will not say what
sparked the explosion. The gas is now flowing again and the company says about 240 of
the 350 gigajoules available from the gas plant will be back in the system next week. "I
think that would be premature. "I would not even guess, he said." he said."
"Speculation is really not good in a situation like this, we really need to let the experts
tell us what happened. The Premier Alan Carpenter says the energy crisis is now over.
The WA Government has called for an investigation into the security of WA's gas
network.
A giraffe in a dress, f#%@in' Elle! . Elton took a swipe at Lily, Lily hit back at Elton, then some
other bloke insulted Elle. It was one of the livelier GQ Men of the Year Awards nights in
recent history, The Times of London reported. Pop singer Lily Allen, 23, made her first
mistake, slurping champagne non-stop on stage with co-host Elton John, 61. And the
entertainment world's top brass witnessed the entire spectacle. When Allen told the
star-studded Royal Opera House audience, "Now we reach a very special point in the evening,"
John sniped: "What, you are going to have another drink?" The 23-year-old popette,
gussied up in a floor-sweeping ball gown, responded: "F--- off Elton, I'm 40 years younger
than you, I have my whole life ahead of me. The music veteran - and teetotaller -
indulged his offsider's slurred words and swearing but couldn't resist a tiny dig."
Onlookers, including Elle Macpherson, Gordon Ramsay and Thandie Newton, must have

US markets fall despite bank bailouts .There has been another volatile night of trade on Wall Street
with US stocks falling amid growing investor unease with the banking sector, following
the failure of IndyMac bank on Friday. Fears about the sector's exposure to mortgage losses
were exacerbated, following sharp falls in the share prices of mortgage-financing giants
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Under the measures the two companies - which own or
guarantee half the country's entire mortgage debt - will get access to extra funding from
the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. But the US Government's plan to shore up the
ailing companies did go some way towards helping calm the markets. The high-tech
Nasdaq composite index also sustained losses, shedding 26 points to 2,213. But despite
the rescue package the Dow Jones industrial average fell 45 points to 11,056. News that
Spain's Santander had reached a deal to buy Alliance and Leicester also help boost
financial stocks. Earlier, prices on Britain's top share index closed higher in response to
the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae rescue plan. Yesterday, the banking sector weighed
heavily on the Australian market. London's FT-100 index gained 39 points to 5,300, an increase
of three-quarters of a per cent. The ASX 200 closed down 1. The All Ordinaries Index
lost 60 points to 5,008. National Australia Bank fared the worst of the banks, losing 3.2
per cent to 4,921.47, after last Friday's revelation that it may have to increase its
provisions for bad loans.6 per cent to $26.15 per cent. It became the third of the big

Pensions high on agenda at Mackay Cabinet forum .Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and members of his
Cabinet have travelled to Mackay in Queensland today to hear from locals as part of the
Government's community cabinet program. Mr Rudd answered questions on a range of
topics including climate change and interest rates, but the one issue that got the loudest
applause was a question about pensioner support. "One of the critical things we intend
to do is look at the base rate of the pension and the adequacy of the pension," she said.
Families Minister Jenny Macklin said the Government was aware of the challenges of
being able to survive on the base-rate pension. "Under the Howard government, there
wasn't a housing minister, there was no housing policy, we've actually changed that," he
said. Mr Rudd told the gathering his government is serious about helping those Australians who are
struggling in the current economic climate. There were around 30 protesters from the
Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union opposed to the Government's use of
Workchoices measures in negotiations, but Mr Rudd avoided them by entering the
meeting via a back door. Mr Rudd did not come to the region armed with promises of
more funding or new projects, but that did not seem to worry the 400-strong crowd who
turned out for the meeting in Mackay. "I think it's fantastic that the Federal Government
give us part of their time," said one participant. Many inside the forum were just
impressed the Prime Minister and Cabinet made the trip north. "It only took 107 years
so we're sorry about that, and we'll try and do better next time," he told those gathered.
It is the first time a federal cabinet has ever been to the region, and Mr Rudd seemed
relaxed about the visit. The meeting is the fourth such meeting since Labor took office
last November, fulfilling a promise made by Mr Rudd to hear ideas and complaints from
ordinary Australians. A full closed Cabinet meeting will be held in the city tomorrow.

tent, Tonia Marquardt almost forgets that she is in the heart of suburban Sydney and not
a refugee camp on the plains of Liberia. Throughout 2002 and 2003 the Medecins Sans
Frontieres doctor spent 12 months working in camps in the war-ravaged African country,
and the experience is clearly etched in her mind. "It's a shock sometimes to walk out of
the camp here and see people in suits eating sandwiches. "You almost expect to see the
beds in the hospital tent full of people," she said yesterday. Over the past five days
almost 1000 people have taken tours, or just had a lunchtime wander through the camp,
which has been created with the same temporary shelters and facilities used in refugee
camps across the world." Dr Marquardt is one of a dozen Medecins Sans Frontieres field
workers leading tours through a mock refugee camp that has been set up in Sydney
Olympic Park in an effort to raise awareness of the refugee experience. "If you ever see
an adult suffering from severe dehydration as a result of cholera, you'll see how
devastating relatively simple diseases can be," Dr Marquardt said. Visitors are taken
through the different aspects of the refugee camp experience, from construction, the
allocation of scarce food and water resources and hygiene, to the medical conditions
experienced by Medecins Sans Frontieres staff. It was certainly a baptism of fire. "The
first day I arrived in Liberia we had a group of men come in with cholera and we had to
quickly set up treatment for them. "It makes a huge difference to people to actually see
what it's like," Dr Marquardt said." Those visiting the camp have very different
reactions, the field officers say - from shock at the rough nature of the accommodation
and horror at the cramped medical treatment areas, to amazement at the ability of the
workers to do so much with so little. It's a completely different world. "You can only get
so much of an idea from reading about a camp or watching it on television. Free guided
tours last 45 minutes, with less-structured visits welcome during lunch hours. The camp
will move to Martin Place on Saturday for five days before heading to Canberra. . Schools

Fielding under fire for car tax shutdown .Greens Leader Bob Brown has accused Family First Senator
Steve Fielding of inexperience for killing off the luxury car tax bill before it could be
further debated. Senator Fielding sided with the Opposition this morning to oppose the
bill, which would have raised taxes on cars over $57,000 from 25 per cent to 33 per cent.
But after talks with the Government he did not put up any amendments and instead
voted against the bill before it could be further debated at the second reading committee
stage. Yesterday Senator Fielding had called for changes to be made to the bill because
he thought it was unfair on the tourism industry and farmers. Senator Brown says
Senator Fielding should have sought further debate. The defeat of the bill will pull more
than $500 million from the Budget surplus. "To be an all or nothing situation as he did -
that is to not complete negotiations or give time for negotiations to be completed with
the Government in this case - showed inexperience. "You can't rip $500 million out of
the Treasury which could go to helping families right across the board and say you're a
defender of family interests," he said. "I would have thought the sensible thing would
have been to allow the second reading debate to go into the committee stages where he
could have tested with Government the options he was putting forward for protecting
people who may be affected by these tax changes," Senator Brown said." Senator Brown says to
cut off debate is detrimental to parliamentary processes." However Senator Fielding has
stood by his decision, saying putting a further tax increase on farmers and the tourism
industry was "crazy". "He may have had good reason for that but I haven't heard it. "In
August sales were down 19 per cent so it is certainly hurt the market," he said. Car
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Andrew McKellar has
welcomed the bill's defeat and says the tax increase, which the industry has been collecting until a
decision was made, was contributing to a drop in sales. . Senator Brown says the

but will be contending the other seats. A senior party strategist says the ALP is facing

Plea to Rees: save metro project . Business is urging the NSW Government not to abandon
Sydney's North West Metro rail project, after Premier Nathan Rees said he was backing away from it.
"It's too early for me to commit one way or the other to that project," Mr Rees told
Fairfax Radio Network today." But the Sydney Chamber of Commerce has urged the
Government to push ahead with the project. "I am pulling back from it. "I would urge the
NSW Government not to get spooked and push ahead with this important strategic
project. "No one has ever claimed that a sustainable transport network is cheap, but we
must invest to reap the rewards," chamber executive director Patricia Forsythe said in a
statement. Following Mr Rees's admission that private sector participation in the North
West Metro had not been fully explored, Ms Forsythe urged him to investigate all
possibilities." North-western Sydney would be accommodating much of Sydney's growth, but
there were large areas with no rail network and few other public transport options, she
said. Last week, sacked treasurer Michael Costa said the $12 billion North West Metro
project should be delayed to prevent a budget blow-out, which would cost NSW its AAA
credit rating. "There are all sorts of opportunities for commercial engagement in the
project, which could potentially limit the impact on the taxpayer," she said. I want
maximum flexibility in dealing with this challenge. Mr Rees told Fairfax Radio Network
when asked if tax rates would remain untouched in his battle to boost the state's
economy: "All options will be on the table. He said the state now faced a different
economic outlook from that when the metro project was announced." He has committed
to completing Sydney's desalination plant. "I'm not going to speculate on the detail of
any future public-private arrangement but what I will say is this . However, he said
public-private partnerships had not been fully explored as part of the metro project.... my
understanding is . there hasn't been discussions with the private sector about who might
have airspace over the railway stations there and those sorts of options," he said.. I think
there is a role for the private sector provided it's done sensibly and provided that the
taxpayer doesn't wear the risk. "They're things I'm more than happy to explore. .

Bassam Hamzy's lawyers flagged in the Supreme Court today that they may argue that
his solitary confinement in Goulburn's Super Max prison complex constitutes a false
imprisonment. He has already been granted leave to take legal action against the
Corrective Services Commissioner, Ron Woodham, for keeping him in isolation. Murder
Hamzy, who is serving a 21-year prison sentence for the 1998 shooting murder of Kris
Toumazis outside the Mr Goodbar nightclub in Darlinghurst, has been in segregated from
other prisoners since he was allegedly discovered plotting to convert his inmates to Islam
and recruit them as foot soldiers in a prison escape plan. Sleiman is serving a 16-year
jail term for the murder of a 25-year-old waterskiing champion, Jason Burton, in 1997. It
is understood that one of his alleged recruits to the prison break-out plot, Emad Sleiman,
was also considering a claim that his confinement in Goulburn's high risk management
unit was false imprisonment. 'Scumbags' Mr Woodham described the Super Max
inmates as "scumbags'' who deserved their level of imprisonment and rejected the
suggestion there would be any disruption to prison units. Justice Clifton Hoeben gave
Hamzy's lawyers time ask their client whether he wants to challenge the lawfulness of his
current imprisonment and make a claim for false imprisonment. "Since being in custody,
Hamzy has been convicted for conspiring to murder a witness against him,'' Mr Woodham
said. Hamzy was a dangerous criminal who required constant supervision, he said.
"There are three criminals in there who have been convicted for 18 murders - as well as
gang members involved in gangland murders - including the Backpacker murderer Ivan
Robert Milat,'' Mr Woodham said. "The scumbags in the Supermax are in the right place.

Government is the last to agree to the $1. The Federal Government has been under
pressure today over revelations the state was demanding an extra $245 million to pay for
associated costs like insurance, re-wiring classrooms and software.2 billion program
which will give every student in years nine to 12 access to a computer. Opposition
Leader Brendan Nelson earlier said it is time for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to admit the plan will
fail. There was also talk within the Federal Government that a secret payment could be
made to convince the state to sign on. New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma defended his
Government's demand, saying it was reasonable. "Why should the Australian taxpayer
have to pay $245 million in a secret side deal with a Labor mate in the state of New
South Wales, because Mr Rudd won't admit that he got it wrong, that he hadn't costed
putting these computers into schools," he said. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd earlier
described the row as the normal argy bargy associated with negotiations. "What NSW
has been doing, like every other state, is pointing out to the Commonwealth that one, we
are very happy to co-operate with the Commonwealth in rolling out its computer in the
school program, [and] two, there are flow-on costs to the states and seeking resolution
of that issue," he said. But state and territory leaders have signalled that when they

Toxic asparagus killed man: inquest .A coronial inquest has found an 81-year-old man died after
eating asparagus sauce at a restaurant in Sydney's north. William Hodgins died in
January 2007 after eating fish with asparagus sauce at the Tables Restaurant, Pymble.
In handing down her finding, coroner Jane Culver said restaurant workers need to be better
educated to prevent food poisoning. The inquest heard the sauce had been reheated
and cooled several times over two days.
'Drivers threatened' over 2-week truck strike .The Transport Workers' Union (TWU) says it has asked
police to investigate after truck drivers claimed they had received threats for not
participating in a two-week strike. The Australian Long Distance Owners' and Drivers'
Association is leading the nationwide shutdown, which begins on Monday. TWU
Queensland secretary Hughie Williams says drivers have been told their safety cannot be
guaranteed if they do not stop work. The industrial action does not have union
backing.. "There's also been other threats . not only of being unsafe on the roads but
there's been threats of trucks being burnt, of heavy objects being thrown off overhead
bridges," he said.. This is most un-Australian. "We cannot tolerate anything of this kind. The
Federal Government has announced that the National Transport Commission will conduct
an investigation into whether drivers are being forced into unsafe practices as a result of
current payment methods." Mr Williams says the TWU hopes an inquiry into how truck
drivers are paid will recommend a national system of higher rates for drivers. "There's
got to be some regulation and there's got to be recovery of rates," he said. Mr Williams
says they have been lobbying the inquiry for the past year." . "We can't have people
out there that are being cheated and we'll be making strong submissions to the inquiry
and we hope that we get this inquiry wrapped up in a hurry and get some of these
regulations put on place
Garnaut to advise caution on cuts . AUSTRALIA should not expose itself by adopting an aggressive
greenhouse reduction target, but it should make a "proportionate" adjustment as it waits to see how
the rest of the developed world reacts, the Federal Government's top climate-change
adviser will recommend today. Professor Ross Garnaut will provide the Government with
the results of econometric modelling. The Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, said at the
international climate change conference in Bali in December that he would not set
emissions targets until he had Professor Garnaut's work in hand. His report will draw on
the modelling to estimate the cuts to carbon emissions needed to deal with climate
change. "The recommendations on the targets and trajectories are drawn logically from
these premises. "I share the premise of people who see this as a large and serious
issue," Professor Garnaut, an eminent economist, told the Herald yesterday." They
should be based, he said, on "what's a reasonable distribution of the overall adjustment".
"The costs of adjustment are proportionate to other countries, and they are manageable.

Professor Garnaut is expected to report on four possible targets for cutting greenhouse
pollution according to a range of scenarios. He said he and the British Government's
economic adviser on climate change, Sir Nicholas Stern, had conferred yesterday and Sir
Nicholas "agrees with the technical approach to the analysis of the climate change
problem" that he was pursuing. Such a range would still require great effort, because it
would mean the trend that Australia's emissions continued to grow would need to be
reversed. He would not comment on speculation he would recommend a 2020 reduction
target in the range of zero to 15 per cent of carbon emissions relative to 1990 levels. It is
to estimate the cost of acting to avert climate change as well as the cost of not acting.
Professor Garnaut's report will be based on much anticipated modelling done with the
federal Treasury, the Queensland Treasury and Monash University. The report has looked
at the cost of keeping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases at particular levels.
Sources familiar with the Garnaut review process told the Herald Professor Garnaut
would not approve scenarios based on a "business as usual" approach or taking no action
at all. He is not believed to be in favour of acting on emissions to keep carbon dioxide at
a higher level in the atmosphere - 550 parts a million. One level is 450 parts a million,
which will take considerable effort to maintain, but which scientists say will give only a
moderate chance of averting dangerous climate change. "Global climate change is real
and measurable," the president of the Federation of Australian Scientific and
Technological Societies, Ken Baldwin, said. Yesterday the body representing 60,000
Australian scientists and technologists urged the Government to stay focused on the
scientific case for averting climate change." . "Rather than being a free rider, Australia
must vigorously pursue opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions including
those additional to an emissions trading scheme, such as diversification of energy
supply, improving energy efficiencies and changing consumption behaviours
WA Nats to form alliance with Libs . Colin Barnett and the Liberal Party will govern after the
Nationals announced they would back their traditional allies after an agonising week of
negotiations with the Liberals and the Labor Party. Nationals leader Brendon Grylls
announced he would form a coalition with the Liberals after the Nationals State Council
meeting this morning. "The National State Council has today endorsed the parliamentary team
to negotiate a power sharing arrangement with a minority Liberal government," Mr Grylls
said. The decision came after intense discussions between the Nationals state executive
yesterday as to which of the major parties it would direct its balance of power to, enabling
them to form government." He drove a hard bargain with both of the major parties to
ensure his 'royalties for regions' policy was implemented. "The power sharing
arrangement is to be negotiated over the coming days. Mr Grylls' announcement came
after Nationals senator Barnaby Joyce said an alliance with Labor would have
ramifications for the Nationals. The policy will see more than $2 billion in royalties flow
back to the regions in the form of infrastructure and services. Mr Grylls said ministries
would be accepted on the basis the Nationals could remain independent and he would
not be seeking the Deputy Premiership. He said the Nationals were not prepared to
enter into a traditional coalition as favoured by Mr Barnett. "We've been thrashing
things out now for more than a week and I think we've got a bit more of that to do. He
said his attention would turn to thrashing out a clearer future with the Liberal Party."

St George fanatic killed . A man was stabbed to death and another hit in the face with a hammer at
a pizza restaurant in Newtown in Sydney's inner west last night. Police were called to Lucky's
Pizzeria on King Street just before 1am after there were that a 61-year-old man had
been stabbed in the stomach and a 59-year-old man had been hit on the head with a
hammer. The 59-year-old man was also in the restaurant with facial injuries. Police
arrived to find Dave McNulty dead in the restaurant kitchen at the rear of the building.
He remains in a stable condition and under police guard pending further investigation.
He was arrested and taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. 'St George Dave'
Mr McNulty was a father of three who was well known in Newtown as "St George Dave",
as a result of his love for the St George-Illawarra Dragons football club. A police
spokeswoman could not confirm how the fight started. "He did have a little temper
being of Irish descent but he loved life and loved his children and he loved St George.
"My husband Dave was a very gentle man," his former wife Rose McNulty said. They did
not know the circumstances that led to the stabbing but understood that the other man
involved in the incident was Ms Salzone's boyfriend." Mrs McNulty and her sister Letizia
Salzone arrived at the shop about 8am, visibly distraught. It's devastating for me and my
children," Mrs McNulty said. "All I know is it's ruined our lives. "David was a very sick man. Mr
McNulty had been living in the apartment above the pizzeria with the family of Rose
McNulty, who owned the restaurant. "My sister and my brother took him here [so he
could recover]. He had two heart attacks and a stroke [about 10 years ago]," Mrs McNulty
said. "He was a loving man, he was brave, he was buoyant and we love him dearly,"

Belinda said." Mr McNulty had three adult daughters, Belinda, 29 and twins Kathleen
and Davina, both 23. "He wants his ashes spread at Kogarah Oval," Mrs McNulty said.
Over the past 10 years Mr McNulty had become well known in the area for wearing his
Dragons gear and walking around Newtown, earning himself the nickname "St George
Dave", Mrs McNulty said as a man walked passed and yelled "Go the Saints" before
offering his condolences. 'Everything seemed fine' The owner of a neighbouring
laundromat said he had been asleep and did not hear anything about the time the
stabbing occurred. Mr McNulty bought a new Dragons jersey every year but his
favourite was the 1979 jersey, which was the last time the Dragons won the competition.
"I just ordered a pizza there two days ago. "I just ordered a pizza there two days ago.
Everything seemed fine," he said. "Maybe it was just a family argument. I don't think
they had any enemies." An employee of a nearby convenience store said he believed
the 59-year-old involved in the incident was a local resident he saw in the area three
times a week and who sometimes came into his shop to buy cigarettes. State Crime
Command's Homicide Squad, Newtown detectives and Forensic Services are
investigating. There was a large police presence outside the restaurant throughout the
night with Police Rescue also called in to conduct inquiries. Police will prepare a report
for the coroner. - with Peter Hawkins
Mayo by-election tipped to be close .An independent candidate in the federal by-election for the
seat of Mayo believes the result might not be known for some days. The Adelaide
Hills-based seat has always been held by retiring Liberal Alexander Downer.
Independent candidate Di Bell says that could make it tougher for the Liberals to claim victory.
But eight of the 11 candidates in Mayo are now directing preferences away from the
Liberals. However Liberal candidate Jamie Briggs is still expected to win the ballot
comfortably and believes Labor governments need to be sent a message about delivering
water to the lower lakes. "I think there's a shift in the electorate in terms of being
prepared to entertain having an independent rather than party politics as usual," she
said. "What Mr Rudd, Mr Rann and the Labor Party want is an independent or a minor
party elected. "The only way to send a message is through a strong result for the Liberal
Party," he said. "They have a role in the Senate as a balance of power but in the House of
Representatives they don't have an ability to pursue issues like the major parties do," he
said." Mr Briggs believes membership of a major party will give him the advantage over
a large field of independents. The Greens are still confident they have a strong chance
of beating Mr Briggs in the by-election. The biggest challenge to Mr Briggs is expected
to come from Greens candidate Lynton Vonow who stood for Mayo at last year's federal
election. He is confident of going a lot further today. Mr Vonow won 11 per cent of the
primary vote in Mayo at last year's federal election. The Australian Labor Party is not
contesting the by-election. "It will be difficult but nothing's impossible," he said.

Pilot's first flight alone ends in death . A student pilot has been killed after a mid-air collision near
Moorabbin Airport caused his light plane to crash in a Cheltenham street, just metres
from a primary school. The dead pilot's plane crashed into a garage in the backyard of a
property in Silver Street, while the other landed safely at the airport. Royal Victorian
Aero Club president Stuart Rushton said the man who was killed was a student pilot who was
flying solo. All 200 students at Cheltenham East Primary School, which is at the end of
the street where the plane crashed, were safe and well a police spokewoman said. "They
[the student pilots] will be devastated as will the instructors because the instructors
have a real bond with the students. A student pilot and instructor, who were in the other
plane, a Piper Warrior, had been offered grief counselling, he said. A Metropolitan Fire
Brigade spokeswoman labelled the Piper Warrior pilot a hero for managing to land his
aircraft away from the school and averting further tragedy. They're sitting beside them
for hours and hours and hours," Mr Rushton said. "It was pleasing that everybody at the
school was safe and no one was affected there. "The pilot in their handling of the
incident, avoiding the school, was certainly heroic it could have been catastrophic," she
said. "I was driving by and I heard a big bang and saw him go into the back of a fellow's
garage,'' Darren told Fairfax Radio Network." A witness who gave his name as Darren was one of
the first on the scene and tried to save the occupant of the crashed plane." Mr Rushton
said the plane that landed at the airfield had a substantial amount of damage to the tail.
"Me and another couple of guys jumped in and borrowed a fire extinguisher from the
school to put it out. "When responding to a scene like this of course we've got to
consider the worst outcome, it's a residential area, main through roads for the local
school, it's opposite the residents and despite the tragic outcome of one person
deceased this afternoon we're certainly very pleased that no other parties were affected
by this incident this afternoon," he said. Ambulance Victoria Group Manager Peter Swan
said it was remarkable more people had not been injured or killed. She said the brick
garage's walls were still standing after the planned slammed into its roof and the street
was now blocked off. A 14-year-old girl whose Lorna Street house is only metres from
the crash site said she had heard a loud bang but the plane wreck had been obscured by
dense black smoke. The teenager said people had run from nearby houses while some who
had witnessed the plane falling from the sky drove to the scene from outlying factories.
"People came from everywhere," she said. "I'm a bit nervous now, I'm still a bit scared.
"I'm pretty shaken up," she said. "The next thing I knew there was a loud explosion and
black smoke,'' he told Fairfax Radio." Lorna Street resident Kevin Fennessy said he
heard a plane flying very low and, as it got over his neighbour's house, he could tell the
engine was not firing properly. "I heard this really loud noise and all of a sudden there
was a boom and a big explosion," she said. "I heard this really loud noise and all of a
sudden there was a boom and a big explosion," she said. "You could see big black
smoke and flames were coming out." Ms Bateman said her neighbour at 1 Lorna Street

was eating lunch in her kitchen, two metres from the garage, after picking up her
teenage children from a nearby high school when the plane came spiralling down. She
said she rang the fire brigade and had been told by other witnesses that two planes may
have clipped in mid-air, sending the plane crashing down. "You could see bits of plane
flying off ... and flames shooting up," she said. "The pilot wouldn't have stood a
chance." A Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokesperson received a call about a light
plane crash at 12.30pm, a spokesperson said. "We were told a plane hit a building at
Cheltenham," Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokesperson, Paul Bentley said.
Kingston Council's Sue Braddy said the council had been notified by the police of the
accident immediately, because the plane had crash-landed in a residential area. "As we
understand it, and we're waiting for final confirmation of this, two light planes, possibly
landing or taking off from Moorabbin, have clipped wings," Ms Braddy said. "One of
those planes landed successfully, and the other has crash landed into a house's garden
area. And as we understand it, it was the pilot of the crashed plane that has been killed."
Ms Bateman, who has lived in the street for 46 years, said she always feared a plane
might land in the populated area. "There is a school right on the corner, if it had come
down another few hundred yards it would have been in the school," she said. "I've been
waiting for this to happen for years. "On a hot night you'll be sitting in your TV room
and you can hardly hear the TV they come down so low." Ms Bateman said there were
parts of the plane and glass in her neighbour's yard and the woman had been shaken by
the crash. "It was nerve-racking. I've thought about it often - what would happen if one
of those planes came down it's so densely populated and if you're driving down Centre
Dandenong Road they would almost touch your car during landing," she said. "I always
thought, 'something's going to happen one day' and I've lived to see it." Peter Gibson,
from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, said the mid-air collision had involved two
aircraft from the Royal Victorian Aero Club. A Cessna 150 and a Piper Warrior were the
two planes involved, Mr Gibson said. Both are light aircraft used for training. The
accident happened at 12.35pm, two nautical miles from Moorabbin Airport. "Because
they are both training aircraft and both are operated by the Royal Victoria Aero Club, you
would assume they were both on training exercises," Mr Gibson said. Investigators from
the Australian Transport Safety Bureau have this afternoon begun inspecting the
wreckage of the crashed plane, and the Piper Warrior. Mr Gibson said it was not CASA's
role to decide if Moorabbin Airport was an appropriate place to have an airport.
"Moorabbin Airport holds a certificate from us, and we audit them, but we don't look at
the geographic location of the airport; that's a planning issue for the Government," he
said. "Most of the big training airports in Australia are in pretty similar suburban
locations, so it's not as if Moorabbin is Robinson Crusoe in this situation; it used to be
way out in the bush and the city has grown up around it." - with Clay Lucas, Reko

Rolling strikes hit SA schools .Nearly 150 northern suburbs and near country schools have closed for

the week and there are threats to maintain the rage until the state election. It also

refuses to withdraw a school funding model the union rejects. Teachers last held a
strike in June, but the South Australian Government refused to budge on demands for a
21 per cent pay rise, offering less than half that, over three years. "They'll be at my
office this week and I look forward to having my staff greet them with a cup of tea," he
said. SA Industrial Relations Minister Paul Caica is in the protesters' sights. Opposition
education spokesperson David Pisoni says it is a wasted learning day. There are 148
schools and pre-schools which closed in the northern suburbs of Adelaide and near
country areas until the afternoon. Adelaide western suburbs schools will have
stoppages on Tuesday, the eastern suburbs and Mitcham area on Wednesday and the
southern suburbs on Thursday. "My guess is many of the students won't be there for the
afternoon and what impact will that have on their attendance records?" he said. "We
would hope to see a resolution to the dispute sooner rather than later but if we need to
take this matter right up to the next state election then that's what will happen," she
said. - More action possible - Australian Education Union official Correna Haythorpe
says it could be an issue until the next state poll. "I don't believe that there will be
industrial action right up until the next election and we will resolve these issues and the
best way of doing that is ensuring that we continue to negotiate and we continue to talk
and we do so in good faith," he said. Mr Caica doubts that will happen. Hundreds of
teachers marched on the electorate office of the Premier, Mike Rann, at Salisbury to
press their case. The union warns there could be further strikes this school term,
including full-day or two-day strikes.

NSW Govt kills off power debate .The New South Wales Government has killed debate on its
electricity privatisation legislation, which was heading for almost certain defeat in the
Upper House. MPs were specially recalled from their winter break to consider the
legislation, which was introduced into Parliament by Mr Costa just after 11:00am . But
after less than one hour of debate, the leader of the Upper House Tony Kelly shut down
debate. "According to standing order, I declare that these bills be urgent bills," he said.
The move was passed narrowly. "I move that this house that is rising today do adjourn until
Tuesday, the 23rd of September, , at 2:30pm," he said. He revealed the Opposition will
take an alternative energy strategy to the next election. The legislation was heading
for certain defeat after Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell today confirmed the Coalition
would vote against the legislation. "Today, a clear message was sent to the Iemma
Government," he said. - 'Dead and buried' - The head of Unions NSW, John Robertson,
says today's events have been welcomed by unions and electricity sector workers. "As
far as we are concerned, the issue is now dead and buried. "They don't have the support
of the population nor do they have the support of the majority of the people inside the
Parliament, and the events that occurred today clearly demonstrate that this
Government does not have the support to proceed."
Qantas boss praises crew after mid-air drama .Qantas says it is to early to speculate on the cause of
the mid-air emergency that forced an unscheduled landing of one of its planes. Flight
QF-30 was en route from London to Melbourne via Hong Kong when a large hole was torn
in the fuselage in front of the right wing. More than 300 people who were on board the
plane arrived in Melbourne today on another aircraft. The pilot decided to land in
Manila and no-one was hurt. Mr Dixon has praised the efforts of the crew in landing the

plane safely and says the passengers on board should also be commended. Qantas chief
Geoff Dixon says an investigation is underway into the incident, but has downplayed
reports the plane had a history of corrosion. "We are very proud of how our people
reacted to this. "I think they conducted themselves very well, I'm sorry they've gone
through a very frightening experience, there's no doubt about that, but everybody is safe
and that is hugely important," he said. Mr Dixon says corrosion is normal on planes." -
Corrosion claims - There have been reports the plane was badly corroded, but Mr Dixon
says records show there was no corrosion anywhere close to where the hole appeared in the plane's
front right wing. "Our preliminary checks on this indicate there was no corrosion
anywhere close to where this hole occurred in the aircraft. "Aircraft can start to corrode
between the first and second year we get them in," he said." He did not rule out that
the 16-year-old plane might be repaired and back in the air in the future. "We really
can't speculate on how this happened or causes, but certainly there's going to be a very
thorough investigation. Mandy Bartels says her husband is pleased with the on-board
response to the emergency. Meanwhile the wife of pilot John Bartels says she is proud
of how he handled the emergency. "He's a good operator - I've go faith in him as a pilot
for sure. "He's very proud of everybody on the flight - passengers, the tech crew and
cabin crew - how everybody handled themselves," she said."
Accused terror suspect talking rubbish: lawyer .The defence for a man accused of preparing terrorist
attacks on targets in Melbourne has continued his final address to the Victorian Supreme
Court. Abdul Nacer Benbrika and 11 others are accused of plotting attacks on targets,
including the MCG. Today, Benbrika's lawyer, Remy van de Wiel QC told the court his
client wants to aggrandise himself, and is talking rubbish. The jury has listened to hundreds
of hours of secretly recorded conversations during the five-month trial, in which the men
allegedly discuss an attack. The accused have pleaded not guilty to terrorism-related
offences. He told the court Benbrika wants to pretend to be powerful when he is not.
More grief for Timor: cane toads . Australia's military may be responsible for introducing into East
Timor the nation's worst pest - the cane toad. The resilient and toxic toads, which have
wreaked havoc across Australia, are believed to have hitched a ride on military vehicles. "The
Australian Defence Force does have very strict quarantine controls," he said. Defence
Minister Joel Fitzgibbon today said he would investigate the matter further when asked
about the claims during a brief visit to Darwin. "On that basis I have not had an
opportunity to seek a briefing from the Chief of the Defence Force but I will certainly do
so. "I've only seen these very recently in the newspapers since I've been on the road.
Simplicio Barbosa of the Dili-based Care International told ABC Radio that the toads arrived
with the International Force for East Timor (INTERFET)." Since 1999 - when the ADF first
intervened in East Timor - vehicles and equipment from a variety of organisations have
been transported from Australian ports to the fledgling nation. "We don't know how to
get them away, how to kill them. "[There are] so many toads in East Timor, they are
brought by the INTERFET," he said. The invading frontline is less than 50 kilometres
from Western Australia, having already ravaged the world heritage-listed Kakadu
National Park, killing everything and anything that eats them, from crocodiles to quolls."
Since the arrival of cane toads arrival in Australia in the 1930s, they have spread from
Queensland, where they were originally introduced to kill pests in the cane fields, to
northern NSW and across into the Northern Territory. The NT Government recently built
a fence at a Darwin port to stop stowaways from hitching rides on barges out of the
harbour. Toadbuster and Darwin Mayor Graham Sawyer said there was every chance the
toads, which are able hitchhikers, sneaked into East Timor on a piece of machinery or in a
soldier's backpack. It most likely made the trip on a barge from Darwin but possibly
swam the 1. In December 2006, one of the warty blighters was found on remote Elcho
Island, off the northern Arnhem Land coast. .5 kilometres

Five-month search digs up remains .Human remains have been found on a property east of Orange,
in central western New South Wales, in the search for a woman who has been missing for
five months. Forty-five-year-old Leanne Mintern's family last heard from her when she
called her son from the Orange CBD on March 28. A cadaver dog joined officers and
State Emergency Service volunteers at an area known as Lewis Ponds, 24 kilometres
from Orange. But police received new information on the case yesterday. "This is a
major breakthrough in the investigation but it is also a traumatic time for relatives who have so
many unanswered questions," he said in a statement. Detective Acting Sergeant Kevin
Beatty says the remains were guarded overnight and will be forensically examined
today." Ms Mintern is described as being of Aboriginal appearance, with a medium build,
brown hair and brown eyes. "I urge anyone with information about this matter to
contact police immediately. . Anyone with information relating to her disappearance is
urged to call Orange Police on (02) 6361 5499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
Qantas lands first Airbus 380 . THE Flying Kangaroo just got bigger with Qantas taking delivery of
its first super jumbo, the Airbus A380. The world's largest passenger plane was handed
over to Qantas executives at a ceremony at the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France.
After a horror few months for Qantas which saw a number of jets grounded, delayed or forced
to make emergency landings, officials are determined this flight goes smoothly. Named
after Australia's first female passenger pilot, Nancy Bird-Walton, the giant plane will
make its inaugural flight from Toulouse to Sydney, arriving at Kingsford Smith Airport at
9am Sunday. "We expect the A380 we're taking today will have no problems but we've
got to be realistic about this," Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said.
Twenty-five highly specialised technicians and engineers will be on board in case
anything from the landing gear to the inflight entertainment has a glitch. "Our own
research indicates the brand has been impacted but all our research says its knee- jerk in
the sense that we need a circuit-breaker and this is one of the circuit-breakers," he said.
Qantas hopes the new jet will rejuvenate the airline, struggling with an aging fleet, a long-running
dispute with engineers and a spate of maintenance issues, including a hole blown in the
side of a plane forced an emergency landing in Manila earlier this year." Airbus says the
plane can seat 525 passengers in three classes but Qantas has chosen to configure the
plane with 450 seats in four classes - 14 first class, 72 business, 32 premium economy
and 332 economy - and Mr Joyce said the configuration would remain the same for all
routes. "We hope this will be a forerunner for better publicity. Business class will have
fully-flat Skybeds and a private lounge area while every class will have in-seat laptop
power and email access. Qantas says the plane will offer higher levels of passenger
comfort with more space per seat, advanced cabin lighting designed to fight jetlag
through simulated sunset and sunrise, reduced noise levels, and expanded service to

inflight internet, email and sms. But the designs by Qantas' head industrial designer,
the famed Marc Newson, have already been unfavorably compared to the luxurious
fitouts by Emirates and Singapore Airlines, who have upped the wow factor in their first
class suites by installing double beds and showers. "I just think it is almost the perfect
aircraft for long-haul travel and obviously that's our DNA," Mr Dixon said. Qantas has
ordered 20 A380s, with three scheduled to be in service this year, eight by the end of
2009 and all 20 by the end of 2013. The overall style has been described by Mr Newson
as "retro-futuristic", emulating the old airline asthetic of the 1960s with a modern twist.
But Mr Dixon said Qantas is so happy with the plane, the order will probably increase,
though he refused to divulge how many more they would order. Mr Dixon said if delivery
of the planes had not been delayed by more than two years, there would already been
eight to 12 A380 with Qantas livery in the skies. "The environmental benefits the
aircraft gives us in lower CO2 emissions which is important for our customers and the
focus of our marketing going forward", he said. Dubbed the "jolly green giant" as a
result of its reduced fuel consumption, Qantas chief executive designate Alan Joyce says
the A380 will deliver up to 25 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency and carbon
emissions per revenue tonne than large jets currently operating. "We do have
shareholders and they do expect a return. "We think its going to be a great aircraft and
the aircraft of the future," But Mr Dixon remained coy about whether the cheaper
operating costs will translate to cheaper airline tickets, particularly the volatile cost of
fuel... "I would see the possibility of it ending up with better and cheaper fares but once
again that will be part of the market. "I would see the possibility of it ending up with
better and cheaper fares but once again that will be part of the market." Planespotters
are expected to be out in force to catch a glimpse of the superjumbo flying into Sydney
about 9am. The first commercial service will launch on October 20 from Melbourne to
Los Angeles and October 24 for Sydney to Los Angeles. Flights on the Kangaroo route
(Sydney to London) will begin in February. Ms Bird-Walton, 92, will attend the official
naming ceremony for the aircraft on September 30 in Sydney. The writer was a guest of
Qantas.
Costello our best asset: Abbott .Liberal frontbencher Tony Abbott has added fuel to the fire of the
Liberal leadership debate by saying Peter Costello is the party's "best political asset".
Former treasurer Mr Costello has been on the backbench since the last election and has
been the focus of fevered speculation about his future in politics. "So much turns on
whether he recovers the will to serve, which so clearly (if understandably) wavered in the
aftermath of the last election," he says. In an article to be published in Quadrant magazine, Mr
Abbott says Mr Costello is "undeniably the Liberal Party's best political asset now that
[John] Howard is gone". Mr Abbott says many former Howard loyalists want Mr Costello
to stay in Parliament. "Only Peter Costello can decide whether to carry the tag of
'greatest prime minister Australia never had'," he concludes. Mr Costello will be the guest of
honour at a Melbourne tribute dinner tonight and will release his memoirs next month. Mr Costello
has ruled out a direct challenge to Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson but has not
commented on the chance of him taking the leadership if Dr Nelson steps down. Deputy
Prime Minister Julia Gillard joined the fray, calling Mr Costello's upcoming memoirs "a
book with spine from a politician without one". Yesterday Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
stepped up the attack on Mr Costello, calling a "smiling predator" in anticipation of global
economic turmoil. Ms Bishop called Mr Costello the most experienced parliamentarian
on either side of politics but played down talk of him staying on. Today deputy Liberal
leader Julie Bishop said she was not aware of any change in Mr Costello's plans since he
said he would be quitting politics last year. "Brendan put his hand up and was elected
the leader of the party. "Last year when Peter had an opportunity to take the leadership
of the Liberal Party he declined and said he would be retiring from politics," she said." .
"Now Tony can write tribute pieces to Peter Costello and I think that's entirely
appropriate, but the reality is Peter said he didn't want to stand for leader
