Ah, they got here. Good.
Why?
Peace offering, fresh start, dinner, I insist.
I prefer to be asked, not told.
I've been asking all day. Thought I'd try a fresh approach.
But what is all this? You know as well as I do that something clicked between us when
we met, it happened and it can be fun.
Why can't you just accept that?
Well I don't happen to believe in that sort of thing and I like to choose my friends.
Well we can't help but meet. I'm teaching your nephew to drive, remember?
Isn't I have a very nice man who comes in and cuts the lawns but that is purely a business
relationship too.
Good night Mr. Rivett.
Look why don't you put them in water. I really don't think they're up to another journey.
And don't be surprised if you dream about me tonight. It happens.
Nothing to do with suppressing what you really want.
Morning Ted.
I'll ask you what time you got in last night. Since you'd only tell me to mind my own business.
Oh, bacon and eggs again.
That's a good hearty breakfast.
I don't think I can manage it Ted. I might have some toast later.
That won't keep you going. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a
pauper. That's what I was always taught. Still if you want to waste food...
Alright, alright Ted. Give it a rest will you? Bacon and eggs again.
Oh I know I could smell it.
Here. I called you 15 minutes ago. You were during the shower and half mast.
I'll tell you what you can do with the shower.
Plant.
Look, I promised Ada that I'd take care of this house, make sure you two were well fed
and see that you got to work on time. Now that may not appeal to you but I promised Ada.
If you'd stop treating us like kids Ted...
I wouldn't have to if you showed some responsibility and some respect.
How long has he been here?
Four days. Seven hours and about 16 minutes.
Can't take any more.
Ada will be back soon.
Yeah and you know what will happen then? He'll make us look like a pair of ratbags because
we wouldn't let him run things.
There's nothing we can do about it. We're stuck with him. It's funny though.
What is?
Well Ted's always been bossy but he's never been as cranky as he has been this week and
it's not just us. I reckon he's got a problem on his mind.
Maybe. It still doesn't change the fact he's taking an ad on us.
Do you know why he called us in?
Beats me. Forrest usually holds his executions for the afternoon.
I've been reviewing the patients under your care and I want to tie up one or two problems.
The only one that really concerns me is Dawson in ward 10. You seem to know all about it
Henderson. Give me a verbal report will you?
Well we know the patient has viral pneumonia.
Progress?
None as yet. In fact his condition is deteriorating.
Well that's not good enough. Follow up on the welfare angle and I want to see some definite
progress by the time I get back.
When you get back?
Yes. You may have noticed I'm in a good mood this morning. It's because I'm going on a
week's leave as of midday today. Seven whole days without having to read your sloppy reports,
listen to your inane diagnoses or put up with your deplorable lack of common sense.
Now you may be concerned that the work rate will drop while I'm away but don't be. I've
left explicit instructions.
All right. Get on with it.
Thank you.
Well is there something else doctor?
I thought we should discuss the disagreement we had earlier.
Oh I don't have disagreements with interns. I merely give them my opinion and that's
the end of the matter. Do I make myself clear?
Yes doctor. Enjoy your holiday.
I certainly intend to.
Oh Dr Henderson, now things need to be sent down sister.
Oh thank you Miss Sheffield but we do have a courier service.
Oh I offered. I'm on my break and I like to feel involved.
Most commendable.
So if I'm ever free and you need any help with the patients or anything I'd love to
help.
Well not right now thank you.
I've got the rest of the afternoon off.
You are keen aren't you? While my shift finishes at lunchtime come and see me in my office.
I'm going to be helping Sister Colesgrove.
Mind boggles.
How's the patient nurse?
No change doctor.
How are you feeling Mr Dawson? We are trying to help you but we need your cooperation.
Doctors, a couple of kids.
I can assure you both Dr Dane and myself are highly trained and fully qualified.
Oh trust either one of you.
Sancy talk. I know what happens when you get into hospital.
What?
You don't get out that's why. Leave me alone.
I think we'll examine Mr Dawson when he's calmed down.
You don't make it easy do you?
I know I've shut me both. I don't need them to tell me that.
We're trying to help you. Now you cooperate or I'll have you transferred to children's
ward.
You would too wouldn't you? A regular little spitfire.
I'm the closest thing to Florence Nightingale you'll ever see.
You've got to tell us why you're down in the dumps. Haven't you even got a friend we can
contact?
Look at me kid. There's a photo.
It's Bluey. He's the only friend I got. Had rather.
What happened to him?
Oh there don't be blather. He shot through two weeks ago in a thunderstorm.
I got soaked looking for him. That's how I got crook.
Oh well he's gone for good.
Doesn't make much difference now anyway.
Going round with the gang is fine. Mine is theirs and theirs is mine.
Give me a Pepsi, give me the taste. Get on with the fun, no time to waste.
Pepsi taste the way we want. We know what we want.
Pepsi.
A lot of rabbits wrote to telecom and said the last race wasn't fair because the tortoise
got to use the yellow pages and the hare didn't. So this time we're giving them both the yellow
pages.
And it's time to play Hello Yellow. Let's go. Oh no hare you can find things faster
than that. Look at the tortoise. He's looking at the index first. There's the page number
and he's found what he wants. Silly old hare. Don't hop all over. When you use the yellow
pages look in the index first.
Bounty. Moist and tender coconut.
It's the juicy heart of the coconut that makes Bounty so tender and moist and all in smooth
milk chocolate.
Moist and tender.
Bounty gives you moist tender coconut. How's my nephew?
Wet all over. Pass my snugglers.
Got something better. Come on. Better than snugglers? No.
Look new leg fitted snugglers now with elastic stay dry gathers.
Stay dry gathers keep baby dryer outside. This lovely soft liner keeps baby dryer inside.
That's wetness protection. Inside and out.
They must cost more. No not a cent.
New leg fitted snugglers not a cent more and protects baby from wetness inside and out.
You did this on purpose didn't you? What do you mean?
My leave is due to begin in two minutes and now you want a decision on this.
You doctor have a nasty suspicious mind. I shall give it to Dr Shaw.
That's outstanding case history you want to find me doctor.
It's a conspiracy. This work is slovenly without thought and unacceptable. Redo it and submit
it to Dr Newman.
You haven't even looked at it. I don't need to Dane. I know your work of old.
The interns are getting worse every year. The men are only marginally less trouble than
the women. Getting into the old holiday spirit already.
Sister I've been looking for both of you. I don't believe this.
Dedication doctor. What is it Trent? I think I found a possible solution to old
Mr Dawson. Go on.
Well he's been carrying on as though he's got nothing to live for ever since he was
admitted. It's because he's lost his dog.
Oh come on. Really doctor the dog's the only friend he
has. I've been taking a personal interest in Mr
Dawson and I know Trent is making sense. What are you suggesting?
Well if we found the dog for him it might give him the boost needed to cure his pneumonia.
I know it sounds a little wild. There's a certain amount of sense in it.
But it's completely out of the question. His mining claims miles from anywhere.
Still it could mean the difference between life and death for that old man.
I know that area very well sister. It'd be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Good thinking Trent. Dam sight better than most of the so-called doctors around this
place. Is that always how you like to start your
holidays doctor? Pulling the wings off butterflies?
As a matter of fact I intend to begin this break with a nice quiet round of golf.
I'd go into further detail but there'd be little point.
You're a woman. You wouldn't understand.
Good thinking Trent. I've become rather fond of Mr Dawson myself.
But Dr. Forrest is right sister. None of us have time to search for the dog.
Dr. Daniels. Dr. Forrest does sometimes make statements.
You don't have to apologize for him sister. I'm starting to realize just what people think
about me around here. Oh boy.
Well how would you like it if someone called you by your house and told you what to do?
Can I have a ham sandwich? What are you scared to give an opinion?
Well being an adult I'd probably sit down, talk it over with Mr. Wilcox and reach a compromise.
But if I was a juvenile delinquent like yourself I'd probably winch at the first person who
came along to order a ham sandwich. Here it's ready.
Oh forget it Flint. I hope you see this guy breaks down.
What's up? You get no sympathy around this hospital?
Oh here he comes Mr. Big. I've arranged a replacement for you here at
the kiosk during your lunch hour so that you two might give a thought to mowing the lawn
before Ada comes home if it's not too much trouble.
I'm having a lunch break alright. I've got a date lined up with Leanne Smithers back
at the house. At lunch time?
Yeah it's the only time she's free. She's got choir practice after work.
Leanne works in the supermarket doesn't she? Yeah she's a checkout chick.
Ask her about that guy that got Ted's job you know that creep Fowler, Daryl Fowler.
What boy? Well you remember he came here to see Ted.
That's about the time that he started acting funny.
If you say so. Your date's here.
Chewing gum's a bit of a worry. Good day Flint.
Good day.
Bastard golf ball. Temper temper.
There's no point looking like that. This is a public golf course.
What are you doing here? It is my half day.
I find a round of golf most relaxing. Sister!
What is she doing here? It is also her half day.
But she graciously consented to be my caddie in return for some advice about becoming more
involved in the hospital. Like some sort of bad dream.
I think we should play the rest of the round out together don't you?
You've got to be joking. Oh no no no. Very bad form to play one out
on the golf course. The group behind us are getting a little
rested. Now you can play first doctor.
Climb close to the green and you'll find your golf ball under that tree over there.
Come on Vicky. At least talk to me.
Any minute now we'll both start blushing. You're right.
I'm sorry. It's just knowing the way things are with David.
Things are nothing with David. Once bit and twice shy.
Look I know he's trying to use you to make me jealous but I don't intend to let it get
to me. OK?
Oh I didn't want to talk about David. I wanted to talk about Mr Dawson's dog.
Why? Because I think you're right.
You're the only one who got close enough to the old guy to find out how much the dog really
meant to him. Thanks but where do we go from here?
Well I've got the weekend off. Nothing to stay here for.
And I can ride a horse. We could look for the dog.
I'm not still on duty. Oh well doesn't matter.
I'll go by myself. Vicky that's terrific.
Look I'll go and tell Mr Dawson. Even if he don't find the dog it might give us
the time we need to isolate the virus. Right.
It's nice to know somebody else cares. Diana.
Just isn't my day today is it? I know what you mean.
What are you doing tonight? Why?
Well we should face facts. We're two born losers in this hospital.
Maybe we should be comforting each other. I don't think I'm a born loser.
What does Forrest pick on you? The uni medal doesn't cut much ice around
here and you've got no social life. Maybe I'm a little bit choosy.
I should have listened to all the others. You keep playing too hard to get Vicky and
you know what? You're going to succeed.

Good shot, sister!
Are you coming down with a cold?
No, no, it's just a snitch
You're holding up the game, doctor
I do not intend to leave a perfectly good golf ball
For some kid to scavenge
You sure it landed here?
Well, pretty sure
Oh, hang on, doctor, it's up here
I was standing on it
Use the 7 iron, doctor
I'm not going to do it
Use the 7 iron, doctor
All right, give the music a bit of a rest
You said I could listen to the new Iron Maiden, Elka
Yeah, I have to have a talk
Look, I've got 25 minutes left
And it's 10 minutes walk back to the supermarket
Mr. Fowler will skin me alive if I'm back late
Fowler gives you a hard time, does he?
He's a man of creeps
When everybody knows he pushed Mr. Wilcox into resigning
That's why it was funny
What was?
Well, Mr. Wilcox came in to see Mr. Fowler the other day
In the office
You wouldn't reckon he'd come to either place, would you?
What did they talk about?
Beats me, but Mr. Wilcox came out of the office
Looking as white as a sheet
Very interesting
Now I'll get to hear some more music or what?
Yeah, yeah
Well, we've got to stop meeting like this, Leanne
Two cups of instant soup, a blast of rock and roll
Doesn't exactly add up to a heavy diet
Well, I'm not giving up choir practice
I thought so
What are you doing here?
I had to collect some catering files
And it's just as well, it seems
I'm entitled to have my lunch break at home if I want
Mr. Collis just button-holed me at the front gate
Complaining about the racket
You've been playing your dreadful noisy records again
Mr. Collis complains about everything
Yes, but it all ends up on Ada's shoulders
Oh, get yourself back to work
All right, ladies first, let's get this over with
Don't be so grumpy
Won every hole we've played so far
Small compensation, I can assure you
That is definitely a cold
You see Dr. Newman about that as soon as we get back to the hospital
Could you hit the ball, please?
Oh, look, it's a lower-kid!
Oh, no, no, it's only a rosella
Oh
Did I say something wrong?
If you say anything else, anything!
Before we leave this golf course, you will be sorry!
Come, Miss Sheffield
I've been looking for you
Got an appointment?
Stop clowning around, this is serious
You're up to date on Cooper Dawson's condition
You want my honest opinion?
I think given time we can cure his pneumonia
But he won't give us the time, he's given up
Have you heard Diana's theory?
Yes, I agree with it to a point
Well, I'm going looking for Mr. Dawson's dog this weekend
And I know you rosted off, I could use the help
Sorry, Vicki, no way
For a start, I think you've got a pretty small chance of finding it
And secondly, I've made other plans
Well, I think it's worth it
I'll go by myself
Sister Gibbs needs this room
I'll leave you two at the...
Did Vicki tell you she was going to try and find the old man's dog?
Yes, I think it's a pretty forlorn hope
Well, at least she cares enough to try
I'd be out there myself if I could
I've grown very fond of that grumpy old guy
I know
I've been worrying myself sick about him too
I thought your concern was purely professional
I can't help but take it personally
In fact, I'm going to help Vicki look for that dog
Won't that put a dent in your social life?
You're justified in holding that against me, I don't blame you
Well, if you're prepared to find that dog and help Mr Dawson
I may have to change my mind
That's what I figured
Before we finish, isn't it customary to have a little wager on the 18th hole?
It's a little late for that, isn't it?
I mean, we're dead level on strokes and my ball's closer to the hole than your one
I wouldn't want to take your money
I wasn't thinking of money
If I lose, I am prepared to bake you one of my world-famous steak and kidney pies
with the word humble engraved upon the crust
I shall then proceed to eat a large mouthful of it in your very presence
Hmm, that's tempting
What am I supposed to wager?
One day of your holidays
One day to look for old Mr Dawson's dog
Now, you said yourself no strength idea has merit
That's ridiculous
Oh, come on, Doctor, don't be a bad sport
You'll enjoy a day in the country
Of course, if you're scared of losing
All right, all right, you're on
Even if just to watch you eat your humble pie for a change
Little putt, I believe
All right, nice putt
But if I get this one, we're even and all bets are off, right?
Mm-hmm
Oh, Doctor, I'm sorry
I'll bet
You just did, Doctor, and you lost
Just hope you ride a horse better than you play golf

Hot milk?
Dr. Forrest has a slight cold
One glass of raisling, one white dynamite coming up
Dr. Forrest has a slight cold
Where do you think I got it from?
Oh come, come, come, doctor, you've been a good sport, not going to back out now
I should have known better than to let you talk me into this
But I've only got myself to blame, no, I'm not backing out now
Good, day in the country you'll do your cold world of course
Ah, thank you
Good luck doctor, I hope you like driving
Actually it was his putting that was the problem
That's quite a coincidence you turning up at the golf course the same time that I did, wasn't it?
I suppose it was
Have I thought you planned any of this?
Oh ye of little face, drinking milk doctor
Tell Dr. Newman those case histories on his desk please will you?
Yes doctor
Working tonight doctor?
I've got the weekend off doctor
Well enjoy yourself at the library or wherever you go for your kicks
I suppose some girls can do without a social life
I'm telling you mate it all leads up
A cheater that counts that was all messed up, that's the key to it all
It was Ted's work but it had Fowler's initials on it
Yeah but how can Ted be in trouble, he doesn't work in the supermarket anymore
Wake up mate, if the personnel mob at the hospital saw that sheet Ted could get the bullet
It'd look like he couldn't do the job
Yeah, yeah, well what's in it for Fowler?
Well I'm only guessing here, this joint goes through a lot of tucker right?
Yeah
If Ted ordered all of his supplies through the supermarket, Fowler would look pretty good
Makes sense, so what do we do about it?
The way Ted's been carrying on I feel like letting him stew on his own juices
He's a friend of Ada's, we've got to help him for her sake
I know, I know
Hey now
Shed can I have a word with you?
Oh make it quick I'm busy
Listen we know that Darryl Fowler is putting pressure on you
And we want to help
I don't know what you're talking about
You two have given me nothing but trouble all this week and I'm fed up with it
Just mind your own business
We tried Nate
I got the photo of Mr Dawson, it took some doing so please don't lose it
Sure
How did he react when you told him you were going to look for his dog?
He doesn't believe you have a hope
Well wish me luck
Did you know David had decided to come with me?
Yeah I think it's great, gives you twice the chance
As long as it's okay
Why shouldn't it be?
I know you still care about the guy Diana no matter what you say
I just didn't want you to think I was moving in or anything
Of course not, don't get me wrong if it was any other girl in the hospital
I wouldn't trust him out of my sight
What's so different about me?
Well I know he's safe with you
David knows, well all of the guys know that you're just not interested in any of them
Maybe what you're trying to say is I can't compete
Well you don't
Vicki what's the matter?
I am tired of being treated as a joke around this hospital
and I'm tired of being patted on the head

This is National 9 News with Brian Naylor
Good evening and it may not be Watergate revisited
but police have not discounted the possibility of political motives
in the overnight break in of Bob Hawke's Sandringham home
Intruders ransacked the ground floor of the house
while Mr Hawke's wife Hazel slept upstairs
They took a video cassette recorder and a small instamatic camera
John Gatfield reports that security at the Hawke household will be stepped up
Last night's intruders entered the building by forcing open a kitchen window
and cutting through the flywire screen
Police would not allow us to film that window
The burglary seems to have taken place sometime between 10 o'clock last night
and 8 o'clock this morning
while Mrs Hazel Hawke was home alone and sleeping
She told reporters that Mr Hawke's study had been rifled, his desk broken in two
and cabinets had been searched
Doors and cupboards in other rooms were also opened and searched
But Mrs Hawke says she has no idea whether the burglars were after money or private papers
Well, I'm not making any assumptions about what the motivation was
There is equipment missing and the study was paid some particular attention
but as far as I can see there's nothing missing there
and there's no real concern on my part, but I just don't know
Senior police took charge this morning and they too say they don't know if there's any political connection
Detectives examined Mr Hawke's Mercedes car parked in the drive
and even started the engine, but there was no sign that it had been tampered with
Police point out that there are many burglaries in the Sandringham area
It is, after all, a well-to-do suburb
and the Hawke home, two-storied with a tennis court, swimming pool and a Mercedes
might have appeared an attractive target to a neighbourhood thief
But apparently the ALP believes there could be a political motive
It was Mr Hawke's campaign headquarters staff that telephoned news media from Sydney this morning
to tell them about the break-in
John Gatfield, National Nine News
and Mr Hawke who spent the day campaigning in Brisbane says he's not concerned about the political implications of the break-in
but like anybody else is upset that intruders were in his house while his wife was there alone
Bob Hawke first learnt about the break-in about nine o'clock in Adelaide
Mrs Hawke tried to phone him but he was busy doing radio interviews before departing for Brisbane
Although concerned he won't change his Queensland itinerary to go home
He doesn't know exactly what's been taken but says he has nothing to hide or fear
I'm upset about it, not so much for myself or any loss there is
but obviously it's a bit upsetting for a wife to have had burglars in your home, it's not very pleasant
So do you think there could have been any political motives?
In the whole of my career I've worked on the basis that if I don't have evidence to sustain a charge
I never make it, I have no evidence at all that that's involved so I don't make the charge
Mr Hawke was in Brisbane to address the Securities Institute of Queensland
and following his condemnation yesterday of Treasurer John Howard over his handling of the OECD report
Mr Hawke attacked Mr Howard again, this time on taxation
Mr Hawke says the Government is not serious about recouping lost money through illegal tax schemes
because Mr Howard ignored the advice of Tax Commissioner O'Reilly in a letter Mr O'Reilly sent to the Treasurer last October
Mr Hawke flies to Townsville tonight to deliver Labor's North Queensland policy
John Mangos with the Bob Hawke campaign, Brisbane
After whipping up a storm over his Savings Under the Bed statement, the Prime Minister has switched campaign tactics
Mr Fraser drew widespread criticism for his claims that a Labor Government would rob savings from banks
Now he's gone back to concentrating on Labor's prices and incomes policy
Peter Harvey reports the switch became noticeable today as Mr Fraser completed campaigning in Perth and then flew on to Adelaide
Campaigning in Perth at tour of the Italian Club, Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser was already under behind the scenes pressure from Liberal Party colleagues to change his campaigning style
The Prime Minister appeared to shrug it all aside, he took an hour off the active campaign and appeared to be enjoying himself
Later though, the pressure was to return, pressure that reflected itself in today's businessman's breakfast in a Perth hotel
The Prime Minister had moved well away from his tough language of the past 48 hours
In particular, he made no mention of the Labor Party attempting to rob banks
He did however have the usual grim warnings about socialist policies
But against the background of what Labor wants, the funds they'd demand, what would be left for the banks, what would be left for the building societies
What would be left for the credit unions, what would be left for families, what would be left to run your businesses
and keep the fabric of a private enterprise society moving
When the Prime Minister left for a series of radio talk back shows in Perth, reporters wanted to ask him about the criticism from within his party, Mr Fraser was having none of it
Flying into Adelaide late today, Mr Fraser summoned a Plainside News conference, this time to once again hammer away at Labor's prices policy
Switching his main attack back to where it had been before the banks issue blew up
Tomorrow Mr Fraser goes on to Sydney for a celebration
Tomorrow he becomes the nation's second longest serving Prime Minister, seven years, three months and 15 days

In Dandenong a moving tribute today to Dorothy Balcombe, Australia's first volunteer firewoman to die fighting a fire
The 36 year old CFA volunteer, along with 11 colleagues, was caught in a wall of flames battling a blaze at Upper Beaconsfield
Shane Mooney attended today's service at the invitation of the family
The number of mourners at the Dandenong Funeral Chapel told it all, a fitting tribute to a brave young woman who gave her life helping others
Dorothy Balcombe was a woman loved by all in the tightly knit community of Nariwaran
Her association with the CFA went back many years, beginning with the Women's Auxiliary
Mrs Balcombe worried about her husband while he was away fighting fires, so she decided to become a firefighter too
Today friends and relatives gathered to show their respect
The simple, brief service was conducted by long time friend, the Reverend Alf Wilhelms
The things, the work that you did, what a privilege it has been to have shared some part of life's pilgrimage with her
CFA volunteers and police from the Dandenong station where Dorothy worked formed a guard of honour outside the chapel
Traffic along busy Dandenong Road was halted as the cortege left for the nearby Springvale Crematorium led by Mrs Balcombe's husband, Tim
Similar ceremonies were later held for three other firefighters from the Nariwaran Brigade who also died in last week's fire

Meanwhile at Mount Massadon, the primary school wiped out in the bushfires reopens next week with portable classrooms
Tom Walland says it's all part of a renewed optimism in the area
Mount Massadon, devastated by the Ash Wednesday bushfires, is on the move
The first buildings to be re-established in the area are portable classrooms which today were being placed in position on the playground behind the burnt out ruins of the primary school
And for the first time since that day the school flag was raised
Four temporary classrooms and facilities will be ready for the reopening of the school next Tuesday
The Deputy Premier and Education Minister Bob Fordham was on hand today to talk to teachers and parent groups
assuring them that plans were being drawn up for a new school and that the loss of books and equipment would be covered by the government
115 children attended the Mount Massadon Primary School which this year was to celebrate its 125th anniversary
Its loss has been felt deeply by the community
Some of the children are disorientated from having lost homes and then lost a school
They sort of don't know where they are
And with the school there they'll feel as though, well, we're home now, you know, our house is the next thing and then they'll be right and the community will be back again
The school stands as a symbol for a regeneration of this community and it's important that we as an education department respond as quickly as possible to ensure that that spirit is supported and rekindled
Since the fire children have attended the nearby Massadon Primary School which escaped the blaze
40 of the children lost their homes in the bushfires but they're all looking forward to going back to the Mount next week
Bushfire damage to education departments, schools and property is expected to go as high as $3 million
The biggest part of that is here at Mount Massadon

In Chicago, a Federal Court jury has ruled that the Bee Gees infringed on the copyright work of an amateur songwriter
To create one of their biggest hits
The verdict could cost the Australian group millions when damages are finally assessed
How deep is your love?
This is the Bee Gees version of How Deep Is Your Love, the song that's caused all the problems
It sold over 30 million copies and made more than $25 million
But who wrote it?
The Gibb brothers claimed Barry Gibb wrote it at a chateau in Paris in 1977
But this man, Chicago antique dealer Ron Selly, insisted he compose the song two years ago
Calling it Let It End
Both songs were played in court
Here's part of Let It End
One ain't one place home
When I go, I'll be alone
When the jury finally ruled that the Bee Gees had infringed on copyright laws
Barry Gibb shouted lies and Robin Gibb, that verdict was a lie
But Ron Selly, who won the case, was a happy man
They made the right decision, I felt from the beginning this was my song
I'd like to thank the jury and the judge and my attorneys
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the Melbourne based rock group Men At Work were twice as happy as Selly
At the 25th Grammy Awards, they were named the best new artists
And it was a popular verdict with the big audience
Men At Work
Men At Work's album, Business As Usual, was on top of the US charts for longer than any other debut album
Lead singer Colin Hay, accepting the Grammy, said, We are the men, we'll see you again

And now back to the election and a bid to have the electoral rolls re-open before March 5th has been rejected by the High Court in Canberra
If the challenge had succeeded, an extra 500,000 Australians would have been eligible to vote
Quentin Fogarty reports the case was taken to the High Court by four New South Wales people
who failed to get their names on the rolls before they closed earlier this month
The applicants argued that the closing of the rolls on February 4th, the day after the election was announced, deprived them of their constitutional right to vote
They claimed that because they were already on the New South Wales state roll, they were entitled to vote in a federal election
The High Court, by a majority of six to one, saw the matter differently
The six judges said in essence that Section 41 of the Constitution did not confer a right to vote in a federal election
but prevented that right from being taken away
The judges pointed out that Commonwealth laws, including the Electoral Act, which had come into effect during the past 80 years
now laid out the legal procedures and entitlements for people to qualify to vote
The judges indicated that to all intents and purposes, Section 41 of the Constitution was now a spent force
Mr Justice Murphy strongly defended Section 41 of the Constitution, saying the right to vote was so precious
that it should not be read out of the Constitution by implication
However, his fellow judges disagreed and the applications were dismissed
Quentin Fogarty at the High Court, Canberra
Still with the election and in his special series on key seats, Jim Whaley is here in Victoria
once considered the jewel in the Liberal Party's crown
Labour made big gains in 1980
Now both the ALP and the Liberals hold many Victorian seats by slim majorities
With Bob Hawke's acquisition of power in the ALP, Victoria maintains its reputation as the most potent breeding ground for national political leaders
Both Hawke and Malcolm Fraser have their power bases here
As the parties stand now, Victoria is fairly evenly divided
The ALP holds 17 seats, the Government 16, 13 Liberal, 3 National Party
A 4% swing to Labour would see another 5 Liberal seats change hands
One of them, Bendigo, has a unique record in federal elections
The only seat in the country that's always gone the way of the winning party, no matter how close the contest
At this time it is close, Labour needs a swing of only 1.3%
Small wonder then that Prime Minister Fraser made Bendigo his first election whistle stop, even before the official campaign began
Labour's campaign in Victoria will rely almost as heavily on the image of this man as it does on Bob Hawke
John Cain took the ALP back to government in the state last April after 27 years in opposition, he's still running hot
Cain is able to boast that Victoria now has the lowest level of unemployment in Australia, a statistic he hopes voters won't easily forget
Nor can we ignore the electorate of Flinders, won and impressively won by the Liberals in a by-election only last December
Many expected it to fall into Labour's hands, considering the trend of such by-elections and the state of the Australian economy
But the Labour campaign failed
If the government repeated its performance in Flinders, Labour would be in danger of losing Victorian seats
Five, led by Ballarat, would go with a swing of less than 3%
Peter Staples is trying to win the outer Melbourne electorate of Diamond Valley for Labour
The sitting member is Liberal Communications Minister Neil Brown
Labour picked up a 6% swing here last time, it needs little more than half that to win now
Neil Brown concedes it's a volatile electorate and admits too that while the economy is the big issue, he's vulnerable to the anti-dam lobby
Even though he personally opposes Tasmania's decision on the Franklin
They must find a better way, now that's our position, but to say the federal government should then move in by force
and stop a state from building one of its basic public works, that's a very rocky road that you start walking down, if people propose that
Away from the Liberal-Labour dogfight in seats like Diamond Valley, there's a more incestuous contest between the coalition partners in Gippsland
The National Party's Peter Nixon has retired after 21 years
The Liberals are free to contest the seat for the first time in 61 years
And current thinking is that Gippsland is ripe for the taking
Jim Whaley, National 9 News
Thank you Jim, and as he prepares to deliver the Democrats' policy speech on national television tonight
Senator Don Chip has predicted a sweeping victory for the ALP
Senator Chip will make unemployment a key part of his campaign launch
Senator Chip spent the entire day in Sydney, much of the time telling various radio listeners that Labour's economic package was better than the Liberals
That Mr Hawke's election performance was far better than Mr Fraser's
And that the Liberal Party in general left a lot to be desired
This is why I left the Liberal Party, I'd had a gutful of it paying so much service to the multinationals from whom it has derived five million dollars in which to fight this campaign
Then at a midday news conference he predicted Mr Fraser would quickly lose party leadership in the event of failure on March 5th
And at this stage he says failure seems imminent
Friday I would have said it was even money, today I would say it was six to four, two to one on Labour
While the Senator appears to be somewhat pro-Labour this election, he denies the party is suggesting that second preferences go to the ALP
Senator Chip caps his day in Sydney with the delivery of his party's policy speech on national television tonight
Well I'm sure I don't need to remind you that the drought is continuing, but on the banks of Lake Yilden one of the original homesteads has emerged from the water
Claudia Emery says that at Fraser National Park you can walk into a house that has been covered by water for 26 years
This is how the old homestead of Glenhope looked shortly after it was built in the 1880s
The property was used for mixed farming with an adjoining vineyard
But when the old township of Yilden was flooded in 1956 to make way for the dam, the locals thought Glenhope and the rest of the town had vanished for good
Water levels dropped dramatically during the devastating drought of 1968 and the old homestead became partially visible
Now for the first time since then the house has once again emerged, but all that remains today is the framework of rotting timber and a few of the outbuildings
One can make out the remains of the houses insulating, mud used between the yellow box eucalypt timber walls, even the outhouse is there
Lake Yilden is presently holding just over 845,000 megalitres, less than a quarter of its capacity
Officials say the lake's water supply is dropping by about 125 millimetres a day and what's needed is one winter of good rain to bring it back to normal again
But surprisingly there is a bonus for the area. Over the past few weeks hundreds of visitors have been flocking to see the old homestead, a part of the local history they thought they'd never see again

The Socceroos beaten 2-1 by New Zealand in Auckland last Tuesday night
Will face the Kiwis again at Olympic Park this Sunday
As Peter Mitchell reports Australia can't afford to lose another international
With the countdown for the 1986 World Cup finals beginning
The rough bare facilities at the Port Melbourne Soccer Ground
Are a long way from the lush Olympic Park pitch
Where the Socceroos will meet New Zealand in a return match on Sunday
But for coach Les Scheinfluge the Aussies have a battle on their hands
And that means practising at any ground that's available
The Socceroos are still reeling from their loss to the Kiwis at Auckland on Tuesday night
And hope to make amends this Sunday
New Zealand were the team to frustrate Australia's attempt to reach the World Cup finals in Spain last year
Scheinfluge says Sunday's return match is of immense importance to the Socceroos build up
For the 1986 World Cup finals
I've got three players left from the last World Cup side
I'm rebuilding a new team, I'm rebuilding a very skilful team
I'm very happy with the way they're progressing at the moment
Not happy with the result but I'm happy in the manner in which they're playing football
Any long term predictions for the World Cup?
You see, I'm not one of those coaches who talks before he walks
I always, I've got a hard, we've got a hard job to do the players and myself
I feel confident that we will be there knocking on the door when the time comes
The Victorian 12 metre yard challenge is a top yard
According to Jock Sturek, our most experienced America's Cup campaigner
Sturek is confident the challenge can win the trophy from the Americans
I think she's got a good chance
She's been out, she's been beating Australia five times out of six
The crew now seem to be finding themselves, they're not making any mistakes with their crew
They're getting better each week they race
And I think when this Advanced Australia Cup starts on the 12th of March
That you'll see that our challenge will be the best boat out of the four
And this afternoon the 16 crew who will go to Newport for the Foreign Elimination Series
aboard Challenge 12 were named by skipper John Savage
Three are from interstate, two Tasmanians and one New South Welshman
Project manager and tactician is Graeme Freeman
Savage told his crew that selecting 16 from the 30 who'd sailed on Challenge over the past four months
was one of the hardest jobs he's ever had
Two additional men will join the Challenge squad after the Advanced Australia Cup Series in March
Like Sturek, Savage too is very confident of success
The boat's OK, we've proved the boat's potential
The crew have proved themselves time and time again the last few weeks
And I can't see any reason why we can't do it
Racing today was at Bendigo highlighted by a treble to jockey Gary Murphy and trainer Tommy Hughes
The daily double for number 10, Grey Ripper, and five, Gaelic Chief, paid $17.50
The quadreller for numbers nine, eight, five and one returned $286.40

Good evening, the weather's going to get hot again tomorrow as winds swing around to the north
And already the country fire authority has declared tomorrow a day of total fire ban
Now today city temperature normal for this time of the year
26 degrees at 25 to 3 this afternoon
This followed an overnight minimum of 14 and that was at half past 5 this morning
Present temperature is pretty warm, 24
Should be a pleasant night however as it drops back to around the 16 mark
The coolest spot in the state today was 19 degrees down at Wilson's Promontory
And from that 19 to the contrasting temperatures
A couple of 34s the highest, they were at Mildura and Oyen
Some 32s right across the state as you can see
31 in Hamilton today and Ballarat was 3 degrees warmer than either Geelong or Melbourne
Ballarat with 29, Geelong 26
27 in Mowee, 28 in Omeo and back to 27s again for Orbost
And they've got one thing in common with Sydney, the same temperature
Sydney 27, Brisbane 30
Overcast in Canberra with 26 degrees, the same as Melbourne's temperature
Down in Hobart 22, hot in Adelaide today with 36
And Mild in Perth with 24
This high pressure system south of the Tasman will direct to north to northeasterly
Airstream over the state tomorrow, hence the hotter weather coming
Another satellite picture to give us a little more detail there
Upper level tropes are producing clouds in the south east of Australia and over south Australia
The cold fronts across in the west are associated with clouds south of western Australia
From the Bureau of Meteorology the forecast, first of all Victoria
Apart from isolated thunderstorms in the east, it should be fine and very warm to hot
The fire danger is high to very high
Melbourne, fine, hot and mostly sunny
Some bayside sea breezes to temper down that top of 34 degrees
Geelong should be 33
Saturday, sultry with a few showers and thunderstorms about
On the bay is winds tending north to northeasterly at 10 to 15 knots early tomorrow
Afternoon sea breezes of similar strength, slight sea becoming locally choppy
Interstate mainly fine in all capitals and the water watch now
And we had 1094 megaliters, six below the target of 1100
And tonight gardens can be housed by people living in houses with odd numbers
And a fire ban tomorrow

Well it depends what you're looking for, lots of Aboriginal artefacts

Yes, magnificent
