Vic relief centre hosts people and animals

GOATS, chickens and even ducks as well as people crammed into a relief centre at the height of the bushfire threat in Victoria's east.

About 400 people were in the relief centre in Sale on Friday but only a few remained by Saturday afternoon, Red Cross volunteer Thelma Keeley said.

"(Yesterday) was a nightmare. It wasn't just the people we had animals - goats, horses, chickens, ducks," Ms Keeley told AAP on Saturday.

"People were really so stressed out with the fear of not knowing what's going on."

Nine homes have been destroyed and one man has died in the 50,000-hectare fire which started in the Baw Baw National Park on Thursday.

Benign weather has slowed the blaze and no communities are now under immediate threat.

Ms Keeley said about 40 people stayed at the centre overnight, with most leaving on Saturday morning.

Among those remaining were a few Glenmaggie locals waiting for the all-clear from authorities at a public meeting in Heyfield before heading home.

Ms Keeley urged those affected by the fires to register with the Red Cross national registration and inquiry system.

She said she had fielded at least 10 calls from people trying to find out about loved ones through the system.

NSW Greens criticise park hunting plans

THE Greens say it's no surprise the bureaucrat overseeing the introduction of recreational hunting in NSW's national parks had previously criticised such a plan.

Office of Environment and Heritage head Sally Barnes recently issued assurances about the controversial change, which the government says will be strictly regulated to ensure safety for park visitors.

But in 2008, when she was deputy director-general of the Environment Department's parks and wildlife group, Ms Barnes wrote in a report that hunting would "annihilate" wildlife management rules.

She also said it would damage NSW's environmental credentials and questioned how recreational hunting for feral pest control could be compatible with opening parks to visitors, Fairfax reported on Saturday.

The introduction of recreational hunting follows the O'Farrell government's deal with the Shooters and Fishers Party last year over passage of its electricity privatisation laws.

On Saturday NSW Greens environment spokeswoman Cate Faehrmann said it was not surprising Ms Barnes had slammed such a move.

"I doubt you could find anyone who works for the Office of Environment and Heritage who could say recreational hunting in National Parks is a great idea while passing a lie detector test," she said.

"Anyone who cares about conservation knows in their heart that this is a rotten deal for the people of the NSW and for national parks. Sally Barnes is no exception."

Ms Faehrmann said the focus needed to be on the government, "which has sold out the people of NSW by doing deals with gun-loving extremists".

Police appeal for clues to Sydney fires

POLICE are hunting a firebug or bugs who set fire to rubbish bins at four different unit blocks in Sydney's west.

Firefighters extinguished the blazes outside the units on Guildford Road in Guildford early on Saturday morning.

The first started about 4.50am (AEDT) in bins that were moved to the front of a unit block, damaging an area of grass and a small tree.

At 5.30am bins at another unit block were found on fire and almost immediately a third fire in bins was found in the garden of another unit block.

The fourth fire was found just after 6am in bins in the underground car park of a unit block.

Investigators have seized CCTV footage from several locations.

Police have appealed to anyone with information on the fires to contact them.

Man admits to running car into Qld river

AN alleged drunk driver who ran another car off a major Brisbane road, nearly causing it to plunge into the river, has told a court he will plead guilty.

Justin James Cooney, 34, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court briefly on Thursday after being charged over the incident on Coronation Drive at Toowong on December 15 last year.

Cooney, who represented himself, told Magistrate Jacqui Payne he would plead guilty to driving under the influence and obstructing police at his next appearance on February 14.

It's alleged Cooney had a blood alcohol reading more than four times the limit when his car caused another vehicle to run off the road.

The other car came within centimetres of plunging into the Brisbane River.

Cooney and the other driver received only minor injuries.

No Australian troops for Mali: Smith

AUSTRALIA may provide humanitarian support for Mali but will not send troops to defeat Islamist rebels in the African country, Defence Minister Stephen Smith says.

Mr Smith clarified Australia's stance after the intervention in Mali by a French military force, initially with air strikes and now with troops battling militants on the ground.

"Whether at some stage it becomes appropriate for us to provide some humanitarian assistance or disaster relief, time will tell," Mr Smith told Sky News o Thursday.

"And also whether at some stage in the future it becomes appropriate for us to make some form of contribution to the resourcing of the African Union mission, again time will tell."

Mr Smith said that could take the form of a financial contribution or some material assistance.

"Are we contemplating a military contribution per se to Mali? No, absolutely not," he said.

Islamist rebel forces linked to al-Qaeda have taken over about half the former French colony, and last week France intervened to support Malian government forces.

However, a UN-mandated, 3300-strong West African intervention force has yet to deploy.

Foreign Minister Bob Carr said on Wednesday Australia would consider providing some assistance once the French action had achieved its purpose in providing stability and security.

Helicopter crashes in London, two dead

Two people were killed when a helicopter smashed into a crane at a building site in central London. Source: AAP

TWO people have been killed when a helicopter hit a crane at a building site in central London during morning rush hour and plunged to the ground in a ball of flames, with an Australian and two workmen recounting how they escaped injury.

The crash happened at 8am (1900 AEDT) on Wednesday near Vauxhall Station when an AgustaWestland 109 Power hit a high-rise crane at The Tower, One St George Wharf, one of Europe's largest skyscrapers.

Stunt pilot Barnes, 50, who has piloted helicopters for movies such as Die Another Day, was alone in the aircraft amid thick cloud when it clipped the crane. It came down on land near to the building, with burning wreckage strewn across the road.

Barnes died in the crash.

A second man who died in the accident was named by Scotland Yard on Wednesday night as Matthew Wood, 39, who is believed to have been walking to work when he was killed.

Twelve other people were injured and police said it was a "miracle" more were not hurt when the helicopter fell to the busy rush-hour streets.

The helicopter was undertaking a commercial flight from Redhill, Surrey, to Elstree, Hertfordshire, but Barnes asked to be diverted to Battersea heliport because of bad weather.

Witnesses described hearing a loud bang and a flash of light as the twin-engine aircraft crashed near Wandsworth Road. Video footage and photos flooded on to social media sites revealing chaotic scenes, burning wreckage and vehicles charred by flames.

Australian Patrick Gartland was cycling to work at the time. He told Sky News that he and another cyclist took cover in a nearby bus shelter for up to 15 minutes as debris rained down.

"The helicopter was ablaze to the right of us," said the former Melbourne resident who moved to UK seven years ago.

"Watching the helicopter cartwheel down and the first realisation there's people in the helicopter and they're not going to survive," Gartland said, relaying what went through his mind during the ordeal.

"And then you watch the helicopter crash and explode and then you're snapped back into reality with construction workers yelling for people to take cover and you realise 'I need to get away from this and protect my own safety."

Two workmen who should have been in the crane that was hit by a helicopter in central London escaped death by minutes because they overslept.

Richard Moule and Nicki Biagioni were late for work and hurrying to climb the crane when the helicopter clipped the structure.

Moule, 31, a father of two from Harlow, Essex, was supposed to be at work at 7am with his colleague Biagioni, 30, but both were late, the Daily Mail said.

"It was the first time I've been late since starting this job three years ago. I just woke up late. Call it divine intervention if you like," Moule told the newspaper.

He said he was in the building's basement ready to go up when the accident happened and he was evacuated. He said: "The first thing I did was call my wife Stephanie and tell her, 'You'll be hearing about this but I'm OK.'"

Biagioni, from Essex, was late because his four-year-old son, who usually wakes him up, slept in, The Sun said.

His wife Leanna told the paper he phoned her to say he should be dead. She said: "Nicki was at the site minutes before it happened. He gets a lift to a certain level and then climbs a ladder the rest of the way.

"If he'd been climbing he would have died from the fall for certain. It's too horrible to think about."

Traffic chaos ensued in the wake of the incident as several roads were partially closed, with Vauxhall's underground, railway and bus stations closed for a short time.

Residents from nearby houses in Lambeth and Wandsworth were not allowed to return home on Wednesday night after debris was scattered over a large area, including on rooftops. The situation would be reviewed at midday on Thursday, a police spokesman added.

In the aftermath of the crash, questions were raised over the safety of aircraft flying over London, especially as the number of high-rise blocks being built increases. But sources said lights fitted to the crane were in place and were checked twice daily - including on Tuesday.

Commander Neil Basu of the Metropolitan Police said: "It was something of a miracle that this was not many, many times worse."

The eight-seater helicopter is owned by Cornwall-based Castle Air but was leased to another firm RotorMotion, which is based at Redhill Aerodrome.

Boral workers face uncertain future

Building products maker Boral is cutting 700 jobs as part of a company-wide restructure. Source: AAP

HUNDREDS of workers at Boral face an uncertain future after the building products maker announced it would cut 700 staff from its Australian operations.

The announcement comes on the same day that Vodafone revealed it would shut down its Crazy John's mobile phone operation, resulting in up to 300 job losses, and two days after steelmaker BlueScope announced it was shedding 170 jobs in Victoria.

Boral said on Wednesday the 700 redundancies would be made at all levels of its business with the majority expected to come from managerial and office staff ranks, in a move predicted to save the company $90 million a year.

Chief executive Mike Kane said the cuts were needed because over time Boral had become burdened with excessive overhead costs.

"The review is purposely not focused on sales functions or operational roles and therefore will have no impact on the level or type of services provided to customers," he told reporters.

"The review has identified managerial and functional support areas where inefficiencies and duplication have crept in over time.

Of the 700 redundancies, Boral says 200 have already occurred, and the remainder are expected to be completed by March.

Sydney, which is home to Boral's head office, will bear the brunt of the cuts.

Jobs losses in NSW will make up 40 per cent of the total with Victoria and Queensland each bearing another 20 per cent. Another 12 per cent will come from South Australia, eight per cent from Western Australia and the rest from Tasmania.

Australian Workers Union national secretary Paul Howes said the job cuts at Boral represented a "shocking start" to 2013 for the local manufacturing sector.

He suspected the decision was an attempt by the company's new CEO to impress the board and shareholders by getting a short-term bounce in its share price.

Boral shares surged by more than 10 per cent after the announcement.

However, Mr Howes said he was confident the AWU would be able to work with Boral to minimise the impact on union members, and had met the company on Wednesday morning for preliminary discussions.

Federal opposition industry spokeswoman Sophie Mirabella blamed the federal government for the job losses, saying "red tape, higher taxes and increased business burdens" had added to costs on the manufacturing sector.

Acting Employment Minister Kate Ellis said the federal government was poised to announce its response to the manufacturing taskforce report commissioned by Prime Minister Julia Gillard last year.

"There has been a full and a widespread review and we'll be looking at announcing a response to that inquiry in the near future," Ms Ellis told reporters in Adelaide.

Meanwhile, Vodafone said it would shut down its Crazy John's mobile phone operation on February 20, a move tipped to result in up to 300 job losses.

Vodafone said it would try to redeploy some of Crazy John's 300 staff to other parts of its business, and that customers would be incorporated into the larger Vodafone store and dealership network.

Acting NSW Opposition Leader Linda Burney said it was a "tragic day" for hundreds of workers at Boral and Crazy John's.

She said a third of Boral's job cuts would occur in NSW, and Crazy John's had stores across Sydney, the Hunter and the Central Coast.

The downbeat jobs news comes after steelmaker BlueScope announced on Monday it was cutting 170 jobs in Victoria as it reduced production to cut costs.

Bluescope said 110 staff at its Hastings mill, southeast of Melbourne, would go in the coming months, along with about 60 contractors.

Mali risks following Afghanistan: Carr

Foreign Minister Bob Carr says Mali is at risk of becoming a terrorist haven like Afghanistan. Source: AAP

FOREIGN Minister Bob Carr is warning that Mali runs the risk of becoming a terrorist haven like Afghanistan.

He also said Australia would consider providing some assistance to an African stabilisation force, although a decision was still some time away.

"In the meantime the great issue that confronts us here is the advance of Islamist rebels on the south of Mali which would threaten a situation akin to that of Afghanistan," Senator Carr told ABC TV on Wednesday, adding terrorist training camps would threaten the band of nations south of the Sahara.

Islamist rebel forces linked to al-Qaeda have taken over about half of the former French colony and last week France intervened to support Malian government forces, launching air strikes and deploying ground forces.

However a UN-mandated, 3300-strong West African intervention force has yet to deploy.

Senator Carr said Australian support was about helping West African nations once the French action had achieved its purpose in providing stability and security.

Australia was not expected to make a military contribution.

"But in the meantime we are obligated to support the provision of assistance to the government of Mali," the foreign minister said.

Senator Carr said Australia strongly supported the French intervention and was seeking to have deployment of the Economic Community Of West African States mission.

West African countries are meeting on January 19 to determine when they should move into Mali.

Nurses invite Qld premier to Moura

NURSES have invited the Queensland premier to make an early start on his plan for community summits and attend a town hall meeting in Moura where the local hospital is tipped to close.

The acting head of the Central Queensland Health Service District will address residents about the future of the 10-bed Moura Hospital at the meeting in the town hall on Thursday evening.

While the government hasn't confirmed the hospital will close, the region's mayor believes the move is imminent.

The Queensland Nurses Union says Premier Campbell Newman should include Thursday's meeting in his current tour of regional Queensland.

Mr Newman has just announced a series of town hall-style community summits later this year to give voters the opportunity to shape the future of the state.

"I am sure the people of Moura will give him a few ideas about the future of hospital services in this state," Queensland Nurses Union assistant secretary Des Elder said in a statement.

The union expects another 60 nursing and midwifery jobs will be cut in the Townsville Hospital and Health Service region over the next few weeks.

Up to 100 jobs in the region's clinical and support sections are also earmarked to go.

Mr Elder said the unions learnt of the latest cuts recently and says the government is planning "widespread job and service cuts" in the Central Queensland and Wide Bay Hospital and Health regions.

"It is an absolute disgrace and vital, affordable, quality health care is being sacrificed by a state government driven by a simplistic financial model," he said.

Last year the government announced 2754 jobs would be shed at Queensland Health, including 1537 full-time positions at Hospital and Health Services, under a budget plan to slash 14,000 public service positions.

The premier's office has been contacted for comment.

Rudd praises people who shun the limelight

FORMER prime minister Kevin Rudd has praised people who aren't "strutting their stuff" on the nightly news.

A day after urging the international community to consider arming Syrian rebels, Mr Rudd, who has also served as foreign minister, was praising the work of volunteers.

"What we honour today ... are those silent, solid contributors not out there doing flashy stuff for the newspapers, not out there strutting their stuff for the nightly news," he told constituents in his inner-Brisbane electorate of Griffith.

Mr Rudd has this week called for an increase in the Newstart allowance, and during the summer has made a series of speeches, social media posts and media appearances.

But on Tuesday, a media conference wasn't scheduled as the backbencher presented the Griffith Australia Day Awards, at Lourdes Hill College in Hawthorne.

With Prime Minister Julia Gillard this week surpassing Mr Rudd's time in The Lodge, Mr Rudd instead reminded his audience of his previous role as an international statesman.

"When I've been addressing the United Nations General Assembly, when I've been in the Oval Office with the president of the United States and with Therese and I having a cup of tea with the Queen, you know something?" he said, answering that volunteers meant the most to him as an MP.

Mr Rudd finished his 17-minute address by urging his audience to go on social media.

"Take out your mobile phones now, go on Twitter, tell the world one thing you're grateful for about our community here on Brisbane's Southside," he said.

No forced Qld police redundancies: Newman

QUEENSLAND Premier Campbell Newman has ruled out changing the law to force police out of their jobs, after his deputy flagged the possibility last week.

Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney, who was acting premier last week, suggested laws could be changed if too few officers opted to leave under a restructure that will shed up to 110 commissioned officers and 212 staff.

Under current laws, police cannot be forced to accept redundancies.

Asked if the government would consider changing those laws, Mr Seeney said: "We will support the new commissioner wholeheartedly in whatever he requests in his efforts to ensure more of the police resources are allocated to providing frontline services," Mr Seeney said.

But he said no specific decision on a change had been made.

On his first day back from holidays, Mr Newman ruled that out.

"We will not be passing legislation to force people out the door in the QPS," he told reporters on Monday.

"There will be no forced redundancies."

Police Minister Jack Dempsey said Police Commissioner Ian Stewart had never asked for forced redundancies.

"With this restructure, the commissioner will be able to find other ways to ensure that there is no forced redundancy," he told reporters.

"Those commissioned officers will be able to be either allocated or carried through the organisation whilst this reconstruction takes place."

Mr Newman said staff reductions in the Queensland Police Service would occur through attrition.

He said the commissioner could use the savings to boost frontline policing.

"He will ultimately get to his new structure and his new staffing levels and will do that without forced redundancies," he said.

The premier's position will be welcomed by the Queensland Police Commissioned Officers' Union of Employees.

Last week the union's president Superintendent John Pointing said there was a "palpable sense of betrayal" among officers who had banked on their steady jobs to support families and pay mortgages.

The Queensland Police Union welcomed Mr Newman's promise, saying it had made its opposition to any legislative change very clear to the government.

"The police union explained that this type of forced redundancy and dismissal power could be abused if granted to police commissioners," the union's assistant general secretary Denis Sycz said in a statement.

He welcomed the commitment to shed the officers' jobs only by natural attrition or voluntary redundancies.

The opposition's police spokesman Bill Byrne said the government had caved in to union pressure.

"... I understand that after threats from the Queensland Police Union today of an all out war if this measure was to proceed, the premier has back-flipped on last week's plan," Mr Byrne said.

He said the police service had effectively shown it lacked confidence in the commissioner, and the premier had been forced to run away from a bad idea.

"This is another example of the haphazard way in which this government ham-fists major announcements and then backtracks on them at a later date," he said.

NSW bushfire destroys 28 homes

Twenty-eight homes have been destroyed by a "dangerous and large" bushfire in northern NSW. Source: AAP

A "PERFECT storm" of a fire in northern NSW has destroyed 28 homes, with firefighters expecting that number to rise.

The fire has burned through 40,000 hectares near the Warrumbungle National Park.

After Sunday's destructive rampage it remained uncontained on Monday, with a 100km front, although no further properties were immediately under threat.

But Rural Fire Service (RFS) Deputy Commissioner Rob Rogers told reporters the number of homes destroyed was expected to increase as crews inspected burnt-through areas.

He said 40 farm sheds had also been lost along with many livestock, much fencing and farm machinery.

"There was just absolutely no stopping that fire," Mr Rogers said.

He said the wind shifted to the south at the worst possible time, creating "perfect storm" conditions for a fire that burnt "with such a ferocity we haven't seen in years".

Mr Rogers said evacuations were absolutely necessary and police had enforced that.

"The speed in which it developed and moved was absolutely frightening and I had genuine fear for people's lives," Mr Rogers said.

Acting Premier Andrew Stoner said NSW had been through "a hell of a week with bushfires" and it was not over yet.

He said that while a wind change had removed the threat to the town of Coonabarabran, it could threaten settlements to the north of the national park.

Mr Stoner said it was "miraculous" that the main building and telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory were not destroyed though the Australian National University facility was damaged in the fire.

He paid tribute to "heroic" firefighters who prevented any loss of human life in the fire.

About 170 fires remain burning across the state, with nearly 40 of them uncontained.

Mr Rogers said the Warrumbungle fire was believed to have been started by lightning, along with about 100 other fires in NSW on the weekend.

He said the plume from the fire went 14km into the air and embers were being blown 5km ahead of the fire front.

It would be some time before firefighters contained the fire so many evacuees, including those who lost homes, were not being allowed back in at this stage, Mr Rogers said.

Mr Rogers said firefighters knew people who lost homes were hurting but he urged them to be patient until it was deemed safe for them to return to their properties.

He urged everyone in a bushfire-prone area to prepare a bushfire survival plan.

"When you're full of adrenalin you do not make good decisions," he said.

Mr Rogers said he continued to be concerned about the fire danger in the entire northeast quadrant of NSW, apart from coastal areas that had received recent rain.

Mr Stoner said an assessment of damage costs had not been done, but "at the very least" it would be hundreds of millions of dollars.

Obama's second inauguration to be smaller

US President Barack Obama's second inauguration is going to be smaller than his historic first swearing-in, but still full of glamour and pomp.

Estimates of turnout are 600,000 to 800,000, compared with a record 1.8 million in 2009.

Yet recent developments have shown enthusiasm is high.

A limited offering of $US60 ($A56.87) inaugural ball tickets for the public sold out quickly, and there's an impressive list of celebrities, including Beyonce, Katy Perry and Usher, set to perform.

Obama has cut the number of balls from 10 last time to just two this year.

But The Associated Press has learned that organisers are expecting 35,000 people to attend the larger ball, and 4000 people are expected to attend a ball in honour of US troops - double the size of two years ago.

Volcano erupting in Russia's Far East

A VOLCANO erupting in Russia's Far East is sending plumes of gas and ash high into the sky and creating a lava lake.

The Plosky Tolbachik volcano is located in Kamchatka peninsula, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest residential areas.

Gennady Karpov, a volcano expert at Russia's Academy of Sciences in the Far East, said: "There were no lava lakes at Kamchatka volcanos before now. We have never seen this before."

Plosky Tolbachik has emitted jets of hot lava up to 200 metres high.

Its last eruption had occurred in November after the volcano was dormant for almost 40 years.

Russian officials say the current eruptions are not likely to end any time soon but that they aren't affecting flight patterns over Russia.

OUSTED president Hosni Mubarak has been interrogated over gifts worth millions of Egyptian pounds he allegedly received from the country's top newspaper as a show of loyalty while he was in power.

Mubarak is serving a life sentence after being convicted for failing to stop killings of protesters during 2011 uprising.

He was moved to a Cairo military hospital last month after slipping inside a prison bathroom and injuring himself.

A security official says Mubarak was questioned on Saturday over watches, pens, bags, belts and jewellery he reportedly received from the official Al Ahram newspaper.

Mubarak's lawyers and the newspaper could not immediately be reached for comment.
