Mates honoured at march

BY JEREMY VENOSTA
AN UNLIKELY mateship
sparked by a chance en-
counter has been celebrated
thanks to an unusual addi-
tion to Ballarat’s 2017 Anzac
Day march on Tuesday.
Five-year-old Oscar Ko-
sloff received the honour of
sitting with 95-year-old war
veteran – and mate – Tom
Rush during the march.
It is rare for people who
did not serve to be afforded
the opportunity to join with
Australia’s former soldiers,
but the bond between Oscar
and Mr Rush is so strong an
exception was made.
The moment celebrates
a year of friendship that has
seen the pair meet regularly
since their first encounter at
the 2016 march.

system, Premier Daniel Andrews promised
on Tuesday.
The embattled Melton MP was revealed to
have claimed a second residence allowance
while living at Lake Wendouree between
2010 and 2014. The $98,000 to be clawed
back under the changes relates to an allow-
ance claimed for a caravan at Ocean Grove.
Mr Nardella was sprung along with former
Speaker Telmo Languiller by a Fairfax Media
investigation for using second residence en-
titlements intended for regional MPs to prop
up homes on the Bellarine Peninsula earlier
this year. A report from parliament's auditors
PwC released last month revealed that since
2010, Mr Nardella had claimed $174,836 for
second residences. Mr Nardella has so far re-
fused pay back any of the funds. Mr Nardella
would be ineligible for the second residence
allowance under the changes, which will
now be available only for MPs more than

out doing the wrong thing will face a penal-
ty equivalent to 25 per cent of the wrongly
claimed amount and those claiming the al-
lowance will be forced to hand over evidence
to back their claims.

Record haul in jeopardy

BY JOSH GORDON AND

AN ECONOMIC boom from

record crops in Victoria
has been "seriously under-
mined" by V/Line speed
restrictions on hot days,
Premier Daniel Andrews has
been warned.
The state's Rail Freight
Alliance, representing 22
Victorian shires, has written
to Mr Andrews demanding
a review of a decision to halt
trains when the temperature
hits 33 degrees, claiming it
has left crops stranded and
rail users "seriously disad-
vantaged".
"V/Line's actions have
directly reduced the profit-
ability of rural communities
and has had a significant
impact on the state's agricul-
tural productivity," the April
13 letter reads. "For the first
time in our state, we have
freight loaded, ready for ex-
port, but unable to move."

two derailments near Ouyen,
