Tasmania program wins national acclaim for breaking cycle of youth offending
an hour ago
A TASMANIAN program seeking to break the cycle of youth offending during the transition from detention has received national recognition.
Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan today presented the Australian Institute of Criminology Crime and Violence Prevention Award to the Transition from Detention program at Tasmania’s Parliament House.
State manager Lisa Cuatt said the program, running for five years, creates connections for the young people involved to inspiring, positive and reliable adults to build on their strengths.
“Critically, it also provides a connection to positive recreational activities and reconnects young people with educational opportunities,” Ms Cuatt said.
She said 25 per cent of participants gained employment and that almost two-thirds of participants didn’t return to the Ashley Youth Detention Centre.
There was a 43 per cent drop in the number of the young people appearing in the Magistrates Court.
The program also saw 90 per cent of participants engaging in positive recreational opportunities and half undertaking educational or vocational opportunities.
“Of course, Save the Children’s programs are not the only reason for this change — but they have definitely played a major role.”

Julie Bishop has rejected outright Tony Abbott’s claim that his government was the victim of “well-organised white-anting”, and blamed his own poor performance as the reason he was ousted as Prime Minister.
Peta Credlin was a staffer, she’s now a private citizen and I think she’s entitled to be able to get on with her life without this detailed analysis of each and every conversation and glance.

This is in stark contrast to Mr Abbott, who in an exclusive interview with Fairfax Media, defended his record, declaring his government could not have done any better.

He blamed internal dysfunction, the opposition and Senate for cutting his two-year prime ministership short.
“I think it was a very successful government in spite of a feckless Senate, an irresponsible Labor Party, a poisonous media culture and well organised white-anting,” Mr Abbott said.
Asked on the Nine Network’s Today program on Tuesday morning if Mr Abbott was a victim, the deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop said: “No, I don’t believe so.”
She said after the leadership spill attempt in February when 39 people voted for a spill motion despite there being no leadership contender, Mr Abbott had asked for six months to improve.

“And when the next spill motion came 54 members of the party voted for a new leader,” Ms Bishop said.
“That’s how I saw the situation. I certainly was not aware of white-anting although I’m sure that the former prime minister has a number of concerns about what went on in the last six months of his time as prime minister.”
Ms Bishop played down a report that she was a silent participant in a phone call Malcolm Turnbull had with Scott Morrison before the February push, in which Mr Turnbull sounded out Mr Morrison for the Treasury position.
Mr Morrison was subsequently named Treasurer in Mr Turnbull’s cabinet reshuffle but has tried to dismiss the report as “tin foil hat conspiracies”.
Ms Bishop similarly tried to play down the report and said she was a participant in phone calls made by both leadership contenders.
“I was there when Malcolm Turnbull called people, I was there when Tony Abbott called people,” Ms Bishop said.
Conservative figures in the party are furious with Ms Bishop – who they see as trying to play both sides of the fence but was ultimately disloyal to Mr Abbott. Ms Bishop has always denied the charge of disloyalty saying her role as deputy is to the party and not to the prime minister of the day.
But revelations Ms Bishop’s chief of staff attended the meeting of plotters at the home of Liberal MP Peter Hendy the night before the successful coup in September further enraged the right and sparked demands she explain her full role.
Let Peta move on: Bishop
Ms Bishop leapt to the defence of her former internal foe, Peta Credlin who served as the Prime Minister’s chief of staff.
Her domineering style became legendary inside the government and soon spilled into the media and eventually became a symbol for Mr Abbott’s failed leadership.
In the second instalment of his five-part feature on the downfall of the Abbott government, Fairfax Media’s Peter Hartcher has revealed details of her commandeering style and her extremely close relationship with her boss, Mr Abbott.
Ms Bishop said it was time for people no longer in their jobs to be left alone to get on with their lives.
“Peta Credlin was a staffer, she’s now a private citizen and I think she’s entitled to be able to get on with her life without this detailed analysis of each and every conversation and glance,” she told Sky News.

Vocation collapses, 150 people lose jobs, 10,000 students in limbo

Less than a week after entering voluntary administration adult education and training company Vocation has been closed down, leaving 150 of its 180 employees without a job and more than 10,000 students in limbo.
In a statement released to the Australian Securities Exchange after 5pm on Monday administrator Peter Gothard of Ferrier Hodgson said the company’s operations had ceased immediately.
“Please be advised that as a result of further customer contract terminations, the lack of available liquidity to fund operations and the lack of ongoing support from key stakeholders, the voluntary administrators of Vocation Ltd have had no alternative but to cease the majority of the company’s operations effective from November 20, 2015,” the statement said.

“As a consequence, the administrators have terminated approximately150 staff across the business”.
The administrators will now attempt to sell what little is left to raise some money.
“In addition to pursuing all available recoveries from the company’s assets and affairs, the voluntary administrators will be seeking expressions of interest for the group’s intellectual property and one of its operating businesses, Customer Service Institute of Australia”.

The board placed the company in administration on November 26, after being unable to raise funds to continue the business saying that senior management intended to work with the administrator “to explore all options to allow the operating entities to continue as going concerns to protect the interests of students, employees and other stakeholders”.
That announcement came just days after Vocation said it had secured a $4.2 million “contribution” from the founders of some of the companies that were merged to form the group.
Mr Gothard said last week that between 10,000 and 12,000 students in Victoria, NSW, Queensland and Western Australia were affected by the collapse while there were 180 staff.
The collapse of Vocation Ltd is a stunning fall for a one-time market darling.
Vocation shares came to market in December 2013 fetching $2.03, a premium to the $1.89 offer price. Macquarie and UBS were joint lead managers on the float.
The shares climbed steadily for more than a year as the company announced a series of “roll-up” acquisitions to add to the group, reaching their peak at $3.35 in September 2014.
The stock crashed over the coming three months after it the group was stripped of almost $20 million in funding by Victorian authorities over poor-quality training in two of its businesses, which have since been disbanded. A staggering 94 per cent, or $700 million, was wiped off the value of the company. The shares last traded at 12¢.

Sydney set for second hottest Spring on record

Sydney is on track to experience its second hottest spring on record, with November expected to crack the top four hottest Novembers since record-keeping began, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
For the past three consecutive years Sydneysiders have sweated through the warmest spring periods to date.

“[This year] it wasn’t quite as warm as spring 2013, which is the warmest on record, but slightly warmer than spring 2014,” said climatologist Acacia Pepler from the Bureau of Meteorology.
With one day left on the calendar, the mean overall temperature in Sydney for this November is currently tracking slightly behind 2009’s record of 22.4 degrees when the average daytime temp was 26.1 degrees.
“2009 was also the warmest November on record for NSW. It was a pretty exceptional November that year,” Ms Pepler said.

“For the 150 years or so the [bureau’s] station in Sydney has been open, the all time average for November is about 19.7 degrees, which gives you a sense of how much above average 2009 was.”
This month is currently jostling for second position on the record charts with November 1914 when the overall temperature was 22 degrees and the average day time temperature was 25.4 degrees.
“With still a day to go it could easily go either way,” Ms Pepler said, with 2014 rounding out the top four and 1894 claiming the fifth warmest November.

“In the top ten [Novembers] we’ve got a lot of recent years, including 2011 and 1997. There are also a couple of those really warm Novembers back at the end of the 19th century.”
On November 20, Sydneysiders endured the second hottest November day with mercury peaking at 40.9 degrees. November 25, 1982 still holds the November record with 41.8 degrees.
Both climate and weather factors are responsible for the trend of warm weather across the spring period in recent years.
“The first reason is that Australia and the globe have warmed by about a degree over the last century. What that means is that we’re more likely to break high temperature records and less likely to break cool temperature records than we would be if the climate was stationary.”
Secondly, Australia is experiencing an el Nino year, which typically brings “hotter and dryer weather to eastern and south eastern Australia.”
Specific weather events have also played a role, with strong north-westerly winds responsible for the stifling heat on November 20 and 26.
“The winds basically draw all the really hot air from Alice Springs right down onto the coast.”

Red tape stops ‘Back to the Future’ DeLoreans at Darwin Port

FEDERAL Government bureaucrats in Darwin have impounded three DeLorean “time machines” being driven around the world by German enthusiasts.
Wolfgang Hank, Klaus Steiner and Andre Springer’s cars have been on the docks in Darwin since Tuesday, awaiting a Department of Agriculture quarantine inspection.
Mr Hank, who runs a workshop specialising in DeLorean repairs, said it was frustrating not knowing how long they would be waiting in Darwin.

“The cars arrived here on Tuesday, and got through customs on Wednesday, but we’ve been waiting ever since for a quarantine inspection,” he said.
The drivers say they will have to start warping the space-time continuum if the quarantine inspectors don’t hurry up, since the cars have to be loaded on to a ship in Sydney on December 15.
“We have to be in Sydney by then, so the longer it takes the more short cuts we will have to take,” Mr Hank said.
If the cars are released from quarantine this week, the three drivers plan to drive towards Adelaide on the Stuart Highway, where the Northern Territory’s open speed limits will give them the opportunity to race towards the elusive 88mph (142km/h) mark, the speed at which “Doc” Brown’s DeLorean travels through time in the Back to the Future films.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection said it would be up to local police to determine whether speeding at 88mph constituted a serious offence.
Despite the bureaucratic setbacks, the three friends have been enjoying spending the past few days on Territory time, going fishing with Rod Coverdale, the owner of the NT’s only registered DeLorean, and having lunch with members of the Ford Car Club.
The Department of Agriculture did not respond to questions about whether cars equipped with flux capacitors are allowed into the country, nor whether cars that had travelled through the fourth dimension were subject to any special quarantine inspections.

Home values rise in Adelaide but start to fall in Melbourne and Sydney
November 30, 2015 7:49pm
HOME values have started to fall in Sydney and Melbourne as the period of extraordinary price growth in the southern states begins to cool
The two powerhouse markets weren’t the only ones to experience a drop in property values with the latest CoreLogic RP Data November home value index revealing a drop in values in five of the eight capital cities in Australia during November.
But Adelaide has bucked the trend with the highest growth in the nation. Prices rose by 0.7 per cent in November, bringing the median dwelling value to $410,000.
The poor monthly results for most of the nation mean that dwelling values across the combined capital cities is now 1.5 per cent lower than it was last month.
CoreLogic RP Data head of research Tim Lawless, said the slower housing market conditions for Sydney and Melbourne had started earlier this year and had continued.
Values fell the most in Melbourne, where they were down by 3.5 per cent in November, Sydney values were down by 1.4 per cent.
In Hobart dwelling values dropped by 2.4 per cent, Darwin was down by 1.3 per cent and in Canberra 0.5 per cent.
The latest monthly results mean that dwelling values across the capital cities are now 0.5 per cent lower than they were three months ago.
In other capital cities that did experience some price growth, Brisbane was up by 0.6 per cent and Perth 0.3 per cent.
Mr Lawless said he was surprised by some of the monthly results.
“I wasn’t expecting a drop as significant of what we saw in Melbourne, down 3.5 per cent,’’ he said.
He said it came at a time when the marketplace was moving through a changing point, with lower clearance rates, the changed lending environment and affordability constraints.
“I think it is no surprise to see the market place responding to those factors and slowing down and even falling, but of course as always the trend is always more important (than just looking at one month).’’
Mr Lawless said last month for Sydney and Melbourne had been a flat market, and now with this negative performance in November if that continued through December it would mean those markets had already moved through their peaks and into the next phase of the cycle which could be characterised by falls in values.
“That will be the real test of the market place, what do we see in December and January.’’
Mr Lawless warned the changing market could also result in future problems for buyers purchasing off the plan.
“With the housing market moving through the peak of the cycle at a time when there is a large number of new dwellings commencing construction, there is likely to be a heightened level of settlement risk for off the plan purchases,’’ he said.
“Those purchasers who have recently purchased off-the-plan may face challenges at the time of settlement if the valuation of the property is lower than the contracted price, or if mortgage finance is less freely available, or on more expensive terms.’’
