Licence for bikies through fake IDs

A TRANSPORT Department employee is facing corruption charges for allegedly issuing fake WA drivers' licences to members of the Club Deroes outlaw bikie gang.

The Kalgoorlie woman was charged by the major fraud squad this month after an 18-month investigation into the supply of duplicate licences.

Police will allege the 30-year-old supplied fake licences to two members and an associate of the Club Deroes gang while working at the Department of Transport's Kalgoorlie office in 2006.

Detectives launched an investigation last year after facial recognition technology detected the duplicate IDs.

It's understood the woman was known to the trio.

Major fraud squad detective Sen-Sgt Dom Blackshaw confirmed police had laid charges against the woman and said inquiries would continue into the recipients of the licences.

It is the first time anyone has been charged with corruption since technology was introduced to combat identity fraud in WA's licensing system.

"There were some discrepancies found, where people had duplicate licences and where a photograph appeared more than once under different details," Sen-Sgt Blackshaw said.

"This matter relates to three people who each had two licences one in their real name and one in their false name."

Police worked with the Corruption and Crime Commission throughout the investigation.

It's believed details from New Zealand licences were used to obtain the fake IDs.

The State Government introduced facial recognition technology after a sweep of WA's licensing system uncovered hundreds of duplicate IDs.

Police carried out 26 criminal investigations on the back of information provided by the DoT. Of those, seven people have been charged with fraud or attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Among them were taxi and limousine drivers, prosecuted for holding multiple licences to avoid paying traffic fines.

The woman was charged with three counts of corruption and has been summonsed to appear in the Kalgoorlie Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

Stadium name: Let the people decide

Mark McGowan wants the public to name the new Burswood stadium.

LABOR leader Mark McGowan wants the public to name the new $1 billion football stadium at Burswood.

He said Premier Colin Barnett should not repeat last year's controversy when he announced Elizabeth Quay as the name of the $440 million Perth foreshore development.

Mr McGowan said a competition should be launched. He said the stadium could possibly be called the John Worsfold Stadium or even the Matthew Pavlich Stadium.

"People could submit names to an expert panel, which could then make the final decision," Mr McGowan said

Mr Barnett caused a furore when he announced the Esplanade development would be named after the Queen.

Yesterday he refused to be drawn on the stadium's name.

"There will be sponsorship opportunities as part of the overall stadium project, but we will not be selling naming rights," he said.

Mr Barnett said the commonwealth should contribute $100 million to the project.

"The Commonwealth Government has contributed to major stadium developments in other states, such as $75 million for the Sydney Cricket Ground and $55 million for Adelaide Oval," he said.

Mr McGowan said billionaire James Packer, whose Crown Casino was on the doorstep of the stadium, should also make a financial contribution, but Mr Barnett ruled that out.

What should it be called? Tell us on Twitter using the hashtag #Stadiumname

"Extensive consultation has been undertaken with stakeholders, via the Joint Football Working Group, the Rectangular Sports Group and cricket to ensure the design will suit their needs."

ROWDY footy fans have marred Grand Final celebrations in Fremantle with liquor enforcement officers restricting the service of alcohol at some venues.

The Sail and Anchor's balcony was restricted to water only midway through the game after reports of people pouring beer on people below.

Liqorland in the Woolstores building and Fremantle Liquor Store was ordered by Liquor Enforcement officers to stop trading because of problems with patrons outside the two stores, including people drinking in nearby carparks.

It comes as tens of thousands of AFL fans poured into Fremantle to cheer on the port city's beloved Dockers as they watched the grand final in pubs and on big screens on the cappuccino strip.

The main drag of South Terrace, which has been closed to traffic, filled rapidly with crowds in the lead up to game time.

Mayor Brad Pettitt said he was too young to have experienced the America's Cup celebrations in 1983 but, almost 30 years to the day, was told the partying in the port city was exceeding that historic win.

At the Norfolk Hotel, a queue of about 150 footy fans formed long before the pub could open its doors at 10am.

Freo fans' dream of watching their club storm the MCG on Grand Final day had been a long time coming, and they weren't about to let it pass by without a celebration.

Dripping in purple from head to toe, the "Freo!" battle cry rang out from every corner of the city – from Kings' Square to South Terrace and beyond.

 THE Dockers' heartland came alive as tens of thousands of diehard fans packed the streets of the Fremantle CBD.
Their dream of watching their club storm the MCG on Grand Final day had been a long time coming and they weren't about to let it pass by without a celebration.
Dripping in purple from head to toe, the "Freo!" battle cry rang out from every corner of the city – from Kings' Square to South Terrace and beyond.

Callum McNeill, 27, from Winthrop said he'd been part of the Freo faithful since 1996.

He said it was "pretty special" to be able to celebrate such a historic milestone in the port city.

"I think Ross Lyon has done such an amazing job with the team," he said.

Alannah Ashfield began following the Dockers five years ago after moving to Perth from the UK.

"I have given up soccer and come to the AFL and absolutely love Freo," she said.

"Dockers are rockers."

Five big screens were put up by the City of Fremantle in and around the Fremantle cappuccino strip.

And supporter stood shoulder-to-shoulder throughout the game.

Other packed the city's many iconic pubs.

A handful of Hawthorn supporters were among the crowd, including 11-year-old Jarrod Wearing.

Jarrod started following the Hawks three years ago, much to the dismay of his Fremantle-supporting parents.

His father, Ashley Wearing, said he was already looking into buying Grand Final ticket for next year.

"We came down to Freo after last weekend's preliminary final and thought this is the place to be," he said.

"We have say through all the hard years, with Damien Drum and all those horrible times getting beaten. "This is just fantastic."

Peter Bottcher, manager of the Sail and Anchor, said being in Fremantle was almost as good as being at the MCG.

"We had people camping out the front at 6am when I got here," he said.

"We're doing purple beers, big screens everywhere. It's as close as being at the game as possible being in here."

He said the crowd had been well behaved, but it was possible the pub may run out of some varieties of beer before the end of the long weekend.

"We triple ordered this week and it looks like we are going to run out of a few products," he said.

"We were ordering so much beer that our suppliers hadn't made it yet and they had to do two deliveries during the week."

Two men were ejected from the venue by police shortly after 1pm for throwing glasses off the balcony at police.

Watching the game from the balcony of Kulcha Multicultural Arts of WA, Mr Pettitt said he was blown away by the turn out on Saturday.

"It's electric and very purple," he said.

"The whole of Freo is behind the Dockers.

"The Esplanade has got 5,000 people, the whole of Kings Square behind the town hall is full so everywhere you look, it's just amazing.

"Win or lose today it's been a great season and they have really done us proud."

Heartbreak for Dockers in maiden GF

THE Fremantle players slumped on the ground with nothing left to give.

The Dockers' failure to win their first premiership was not for lack of effort.

What they lacked was composure, clean hands and cool heads when the pressure was at its most intense.

You only get so many chances and in the end, two brave comeback attempts were not enough as Hawthorn held on by 15 points, 11.11 (77) to 8.14 (62).

When Hayden Ballantyne kicked his set shot out on the full entering time-on of the last quarter, it was a cruel moment that summed up the game for the heartbroken Dockers.

Stage fright is a big accusation to throw at a team after a Grand Final but it's one Fremantle will have to wrestle with for the next six months.

Ryan Crowley won his battle but Hawthorn won the midfield war as the Hawks avenged last year's Grand Final defeat with the stirring victory.

Crowley held champion midfielder Sam Mitchell to just 12 possessions, but predictions the contest would prove pivotal were wide of the mark.

With the Hill family the other major storyline of the week, it was fitting that Hawk Bradley kicked the sealer 12 minutes into the final term, dribbling through from near the goal line.

Mum Stephanie clapped and celebrated the success of the younger of her two boys, while no doubt sparing a thought for her eldest Stephen.

Fremantle dug itself into a hole in the first half that was too deep to get out of.

The first half was little short of a horror show for the Dockers, who went to the major break with the meagre tally of 1.6 (12) and staring at a 23-point deficit.

Having waited 19 years for its big day, there was no lack of will from Fremantle.

The story of the team was also the story of young midfielder Nat Fyfe in the opening half.

Fyfe played like his life depended on it. He was soaring into the sky one minute and on the bottom of a pack the next.

Twice he took spectacular marks in attack in the first quarter and twice he kicked the ball out on the full with the most important shots he had taken in his life.

The Dockers got the game on their terms for large parts of the second term but sabotaged their efforts to get back into the contest with a series of fumbles, turnovers and poor decisions.

Hawthorn was doing to Fremantle what it did to Sydney in the first half last week.

The symptoms of the meltdown were on show at either end, with Dockers bombing mindlessly out of defence into the waiting arms of opponents and repeatedly failing to take the right option in attack.

After the Hawks had run riot with their kicking game in the first quarter to rack up 41 uncontested marks, Fremantle cut that number back to 13 in the second term.

The Dockers were left to rue a series of moments as they let the repeated chances slip.

Danyle Pearce, one of only two Dockers with previous Grand Final experience, showed he had a big heart in his small frame when he tried to plant a flag in the ground 21 minutes into the second term.

Pearce's brave mark with the flight came with a crunching bump from Grant Birchall.

It was one of those moments that can turn a Grand Final.

Pearce found Matthew Pavlich who needed to complete the play with just his team's second goal.

Pavlich, who didn't touch the ball in a nightmarish first quarter, missed his set shot and the sense of doom was palpable.

The skipper would make amends in the third as the Dockers gave themselves a chance at the final change.

Led by dominant big man Aaron Sandilands and David Mundy, the Fremantle midfield took control at stoppages early in the premiership quarter as the Dockers kicked four of the first five goals after half-time.

Pavlich was instrumental in the fight back with two majors in the space of six minutes, while small forward Michael Walters also seized the moment following a quiet first half to kick two of his own.

Fremantle was within three points for the second time when Walters finished his terrific grab with a goal 25 minutes into the third, before Jack Gunston's fourth restored a buffer for the Hawks.

The Dockers were desperate for the first goal but it was a long bomb from Isaac Smith instead that proved decisive. When Luke Breust and Bradley Hill added goals of their own Hawthorn was safe.

Proud Freo fans feel the pain

SHATTERED Dockers fans shed purple tears as their team suffered a 15-point loss in its first AFL Grand Final.

The devastation was palpable at the MCG, where Fremantle put up a gallant fight - and the purple army did its best to get its team over the line.

Once the final siren blared, some dropped their heads in their hands, others sat still and alone, contemplating the crushing loss.

But most - in true Dockers-fan style - held their heads high, proud of their club's efforts in its maiden Grand Final, a moment they had waited almost two decades for.

Among those in the crowd was new Federal MP for Perth Alannah MacTiernan, who said the Dockers' Grand Final appearance was a great moment for the state.

She egged them on with original Fremantle supporter and fellow Labor MP Rita Saffioti.

"I just think it's brilliant that they got into the Grand Final," Ms MacTiernan said.

"It's been a bloody great day for WA. Just getting here is an impressive achievement."

Diehard fan John Vidovich, a member of the official cheer squad, was glowing in his appraisal of the team he supports with unrivalled passion.

"Fremantle are a champion team, not a team of champions," he said.

"All year they've been disciplined and played with intensity and passion. Our club has a bright future and I am so proud to be a part of it."

Former club favourite Clive Waterhouse, considered a cult figure by Fremantle fans, said he had never been prouder. "It's been a fantastic year and I've enjoyed watching the boys," he said.

"It is definitely the proudest moment for the club and I'm happy to be here to share that."

Long-time fan Ben Wilcox, from Joondalup, was also full of praise.

"They have been bloody impressive all year," he said.

"Ross is the boss.

"I had to fly here via Brisbane, got delayed and ended up arriving at three in the morning. But it was worth it. I'm just happy to be here  and just happy they made it."

Fellow fan Kerri Bishop, from Bunbury, was so keen to see the Dockers run on to the MCG, she flew to Melbourne via Singapore to get there.

"It's been such a fantastic year," she said.

"I think we have grown so much.

"In the last two years, our growth has been immense. We have really matured into a very strong football team and club."

The game was particularly tense for Ian Collins and his Perth son-in-law Ben Burfitt.

"I've already taken his daughter away with me to Perth so the game has been interesting," Mr Burfitt said.

The players appeared devastated, some clearly overwhelmed by emotion, as they were presented to the room full of staff, sponsors and supporters at Melbourne Convention centre, attracting a standing ovation.

Among the patrons were number one ticket holders Ben Roberts-Smith, Rove McManus and Eskimo Joe, who played for the crowd.

"It's an absolute honour to be playing for everyone here after such a hard-fought game," Kav Temperley said.

Coach Ross Lyon said he appreciated the passion for the club, but warned "there's another step to go here before we're a great club".

"I'd like to acknowledge, in the two years I've been here, the growth of the player group and their appetite to work," he said.

"We recognise we have grown, but there's plenty of hard work to do. The players understand that.

"They (Hawthorn) acknowledged they had to tweak, they had to change, and if they did that, they could grow.

"That's exactly where we're at. There's certainly no closing statements here.

"I do want us to understand though, I love the passion, but we didn't win today, we didn't create greatness when there was an opportunity for that.

"I want us to be aware of that fact. I love the passion, but there's a another step to go here before we're a great club.

"We have to return consistently, we have to do the work and we have to continue to improve."

Captain Matthew Pavlich thanked "the families and partners" who "sacrifice as much as we do".

"We apologise for not getting the job done," he told the crowd.

"To our fans, it's taken 19 years to get to this point. Let's hope it doesn't take another 19 years to get back to this point."

Sex offender shown door to freedom

A DANGEROUS child sex offender imprisoned for the past seven years will be released under a supervision order after a WA Supreme Court judge ruled that the community could be protected.

Peter Lewis Dunne, 50, was jailed in 2006 after pleading guilty to luring a 14-year-old boy to a derelict building in the southern Perth suburb of Rockingham before blindfolding and assaulting him.

The sentence also incorporated a 1988 offence against a 10-year-old relative, for which the charges were not laid until 2004.

Justice Lindy Jenkins ruled today that, despite Dunne being a "serious danger to the community'', he could be released with a strict supervision order.

The 41 conditions for his release include electronic monitoring, counselling and trialling anti-libidinal medication if he was a suitable candidate.

Dunne abused another 14-year-old boy while the teenager was living with Dunne's parents.

He pleaded guilty in 1998 to 112 offences against that victim including 23 counts of sexual penetration and two counts of threatening to kill.

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison but released on parole in 2002.

"His offending has always been at the more serious end of the range of offences of their type,'' Justice Jenkins said.

"In each case, there has been some degree of threats or coercion.''
But Justice Jenkins noted that Dunne had undertaken counselling and courses to rehabilitate himself.
``When he was subject to parole, he complied with his parole conditions and did not re-offend,'' she said.
Justice Jenkins said she accepted psychiatric opinions that the courses had some, but limited, effect in reducing Dunne's risk of re-offending and further courses in custody were unlikely to assist his rehabilitation.
She said if Dunne was not subject to a continuing detention order or a supervision order, there was a significant risk that he would re-offend.
``He will be under very close supervision by the authorities,'' Justice Jenkins said

Crowley not fussed by 'enemy' tag

Fremantle's Ryan Crowley (right) received a hostile reception from Hawthorn fans. Picture: Daniel Wilkins Source: PerthNow

FREMANTLE hard nut tagger Ryan Crowley clearly noticed, but is not fussed that he is Hawthorn's public enemy No.1 ahead of a historic Dockers grand final at the MCG tomorrow.

And important Dockers defender Zac Dawson gave a clear indication that veteran Luke McPharlin is the likely match-up for powerhouse Hawks scoring force Lance Franklin.
 
Dawson, 27, who heads into his fourth grand final after playing in three at St Kilda for two heart-breaking losses and a draw, conceded that he expects to take on resting ruckman David Hale or this year's Coleman Medal winner Jarryd Roughead.
 
Dawson revealed that he has been approached by some young Dockers this week for pivotal advice on how to handle the surge in hype and anticipation ahead of a title play-off.
 
"I'm happy to pass on advice. I've been through it so I tell them to really relax and really embrace this," Dawson said.
 
"Embrace the parade, embrace the support and then get down to business."
 
Crowley, 29, is widely tipped to take on Hawks gun midfielder Sam Mitchell in one of the most anticipated individual shootouts of the potentially tight and close finishing title showdown.
 
The tough Dockers enforcer was heckled and jeered by Hawks faithful during today's parade through the streets of Melbourne and conceded the attention is more than he usually cops.
 
"It's been a big build-up for everyone, but maybe a little bit different for me," Crowley confessed.
 
The hard-nut defensive on-baller said he wasn't fazed with prospects of heavy physical attention from Hawks enforcers in a tactic intimidation to throw Crowley off his vital duty to nullify Mitchell.
 
Geelong premiership hard-nut Cameron Mooney even called for Hawks heavy hitters to "take Crowley out" as a means of putting the tough Docker off his game and tagging assignment.
 
"It's a bit different because it's been a bit more public," Crowley assessed.
 
"All the teams are going to try and look after their gun midfielders.
 
"It does seem like it's been a bit more of a crazy week."
 
Crowley could also be assigned to dynamic Hawks running back Shaun Burgoyne, who was also in stunning form in Hawthorn's narrow win over Geelong last week.
 
McPharlin, 31, confirmed that he is fully recovered from calf and groin problems that appeared to trouble the key defender in last weekend's stirring win over Sydney in Perth.
 
"I'm 100 percent," he confessed.
 
"I trained fully yesterday and I have pulled up really well," he revealed.

Milne to miss Grand Final tribute

Stephen Milne will not take part in a tribute to retiring players at the Grand Final. Source: HeraldSun

OUTGOING St Kilda star Stephen Milne will be a Grand Final no-show at the MCG for the tribute to retiring players.

Confusion surrounded the circumstances behind his absence.

A Saints spokesman said: ''The decision for Stephen not to take part in the cavalcade was made mutually by the AFL, the St Kilda Football Club and Stephen Milne.''

But the AFL told the Herald Sun it was Milne's decision not to take part.

''An invitation was extended to Stephen Milne and declined,'' a league spokesman said.

Milne is believed to have been told he may be able to take part next year.

It came as Saints chief executive Michael Nettlefold yesterday announced he was quitting the club.

Retiring AFL players include Milne's teammates Justin Koschitzke and Jason Blake, Jude Bolton, Martin Mattner, Chad Cornes, Andrew Embley, Graham Johncock, Shane Tuck, Aaron Davey and David Hille.

Milne, 33, was charged with four counts of rape in June over an alleged incident at a Highett home on March 15, 2004.

The married father of two retired after 270 games for the Saints at the end of this season.

His rape case was abandoned in 2004 when the Director of Public Prosecutions decided the brief of evidence would not support a conviction, but it was reopened last year following an Office of Police Integrity report recommending a review of the evidence.

Milne has consistently maintained his innocence.

He will face a committal hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court on November 12.

IF his career in the music industry ever fails, there may be a future on the fairways.

One Direction's resident swinger, Harry Styles, has been spotted on an Australian golf course for the second time this week, this time at the prestigious and usually very private Lake Karrinyup.

And while the city around him donned purple to celebrate Grand Final fever, so did Styles (pictured above).

The teen heart-throb, who is in town with his band for two concerts at Perth Arena this weekend, took advantage of some rare sunshine in the west of late to hit the northern suburbs course, which regularly hosts some of Australasia's biggest tournaments, including the upcoming Perth International.

After a rather controversial entry into Perth - the band faces a police investigation after their entourage allegedly sped through red lights on enroute to the band hotel on Wednesday night - Styles showed more control on the golf course - although he was sporting an orange golf bag.

On Monday, Styles and Niall Horan spent the relaxing day in the Barossa Valley ahead of the start of their Australian tour, playing a round of golf at the Tanunda Pines Golf Club.

The boys play Perth Arena on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Candlelight vigil for Jill Meagher

A MODEST gathering attended a candlelight vigil to remember women affected by violence on the first anniversary of Jill Meagher's death.

The Brunswick Baptist Church hosted the wake on Friday night after receiving requests from community members to mark a year passing since Ms Meagher's murder.

Well-wishers created a makeshift remembrance for Ms Meagher at the Sydney Rd church after the 29-year-old went missing in September last year.

Church secretary Ilsa Hampton said a small group of people attended the vigil to light candles, leave flowers and reflect.

"Some people really appreciated the opportunity to do that," she said.

Ms Hampton said Ms Meagher's death still affected Brunswick residents.

"People came from all walks of life to the vigil last year," she said.

"We had family groups, women, men, people bringing their children; their daughters.

"What happened to Jill touched a chord in everybody because the unfortunate reality is that violence against women is far too common."

Brunswick Baptist Chuch administrator Ruth Sandy said the vigil would allow people to "pray, pause, reflect" and "strengthen our resolve to do all we can to protect women in our community".

"We've all done this. We all did what she did - walk home by ourselves, and we feel we have the right to do it," Ms Sandy said.

"What happened to Jill tapped into every woman. It made us more cautious.

"(But also), there's a strong feeling across the community that we're not gonna accept this."

A second peace march through Brunswick is planned for Sunday, starting at noon at the corner of Sydney and Moreland Rds.

Ms Hampton said the church would be throwing open its Sydney Rd doors, usually closed against the noisy street, to the community and some church members would be attending the march.

More than 30,000 people attended last year's rally.
