looking for In what was beautiful conditions at Revo Fitness Stadium Claremont stormed home in an Anzac Day triumph the WAFL Eagles outclassed in the second half to ultimately fall in the 10.12 (72) to 19.10 (124) defeat The good-news story of the day was the return of versatile defender Callum Jamieson the 24-year-old Eagle having missed the past 10 months of football with a knee and ankle injury While West Coast youngsters Clay Hall (25 disposals and Harvey Johnston (20 and eight) were impressive throughout the game the Eagles were unable to come up with the answers to Claremont’s dominant second half The visitors burst out of the blocks with a strong start clean football and consistently delivering the ball inside their forward 50 Claremont forward Zac Mainwaring was first on the scoreboard kicking his first of three majors for the day before Jobe Shanahan opened the Eagles’ account in a quick response moving it with purpose and capitalising on their opportunities taking a six-point lead into the quarter-time break The Eagles opened their second term with intent with a brilliant piece of link-up play from Malakai Champion and Jack Petruccelle a highlight for the quarter Claremont levelled up to produced three unanswered goals Jye Bolton showing his elite talent before Talon Delacey booted two of his three majors The Eagles hit back late in the second quarter Caleb Datson slotting a vital goal to bring the margin back to within two points heading into the main break holding tight at the half before the third term proved incredibly costly Claremont kicking away in a dominant display managing six goals to the Eagles’ two for the quarter with last round’s loss to Perth unfolding in a similar fashion A late goal from Petruccelle offered little relief from the Tigers’ onslaught with the Eagles staring down a 30-point deficit heading into the fourth West Coast started the final quarter with a much-needed goal through Shanahan Claremont remaining relentless

emergency during an inspection “His sudden loss leaves a significant void not only in city operations but in the hearts of those who had the privilege of working alongside him,” the city said in a statement CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) The past year in markets has been defined by stark contrasts we’ve seen a frenzy of momentum-driven investing with capital flooding into a handful of dominant tech names high-quality businesses have been left behind creating opportunities for patient investors high-conviction portfolio and is highly selective about what makes the cut his team only added four new stocks – a number that might surprise those who assume fund managers are constantly chasing the next big thing I sat down with Bob to discuss his approach how he’s navigating today’s bifurcated market and where he sees value beyond the obvious plays A big part of Claremont Global’s success comes down to patience Bob and his team spend years tracking companies waiting for the right entry price rather than chasing momentum This wasn’t due to a lack of effort but rather a reflection of their valuation discipline Claremont simply waits for them to come back into range rather than stretching their criteria Bob sees today’s market as split into two camps: a handful of high-momentum stocks dominating the index and a broader set of quality names that have been overlooked “Momentum-driven markets are tough for us in terms of relative performance,” he admitted “But they’re great for hunting – because when money crowds into a few names He looks at traditional indicators like the S&P 500 valuation (currently at 22x earnings above its long-term average of 16x) and credit spreads But he’s also developed an unconventional signal: Bitcoin “Bitcoin has almost become the new risk-on indicator,” he said but now Bitcoin rallying 50% on political news tells you a lot about where animal spirits are.” Bob notes that some areas of the market are starting to show value – particularly in steady cash-generating businesses that have been left behind One of Claremont Global’s most interesting recent buys is Jack Henry (JKHY) a US-based banking software provider for smaller banks and credit unions “Smaller banks can’t afford dedicated IT teams like the big players,” Bob explained “Jack Henry provides plug-and-play solutions for their entire tech stack.” Despite compounding earnings at 15% annually since the 1980s the stock fell out of favor as investors chased more exciting tech plays a veterinary diagnostics company with over 50% market share The business benefits from strong pricing power and steady demand but its valuation had stretched to 70-80x earnings during the COVID boom “We picked it up at 35x earnings,” he said but much more reasonable for a company with its growth profile and return on invested capital.” Another high quality name that recently met their valuation threshold is Amazon (AMZN) which they added to the portfolio last year Claremont steers clear of high-flying names like Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA) and product cycles change fast,” he explained We prefer established monopolies with strong network effects.” With a portfolio trading below its 10-year average multiple Bob feels good about where Claremont is positioned but the businesses we own are trading below their long-run valuations,” he said “That gives us confidence in our ability to deliver strong returns over time.” inflation – Claremont’s approach remains unchanged Claremont Global is a high conviction portfolio of value-creating businesses at reasonable prices.

Culley was active around the ball with 14 touches and 15 tackles Ryan Maric and Trey Ruscoe finished with an equal team-high 19 disposals each and Harley Sparks managed 16 touches and 10 tackles The Eagles started strongly with Josh Burke kicking the first goal of the game the visitors showing plenty of endeavour for majority of the opening term Claremont applied pressure in numbers around the ball responding strongly with four-straight majors to hold a 19-point lead at the first break The Tigers upped their intensity in the second quarter attacking the football and getting a lot more of the ball a goal from Jack Musika extending their lead to 26 points at the half The third term didn’t bring much solace for West Coast with the Eagles still unable to find their second major of the match Cooper Nitschke finally broke West Coast’s scoreboard drought in the final term kicking their second goal with a contested soccer kick off the ground In a bright patch for the boys in blue and gold Archer Reid converted his first goal of the game making it back-to-back majors for the Eagles but it ultimately did little to reduce the margin Claremont’s Bailey Rogers was damaging for the

Private investment house Hawaiian has taken full control of Perth’s Claremont Quarter by buying out its investment partner, funds manager QIC, in a deal valuing the stake at about $207m. The move displays both the attraction of Perth retail – which is running hot – and the depth of demand for shopping centres from major players in the wake of their pricing reset. While centre values were hit by the Covid crisis and then interest rate hikes, big owners are now more bullish in the sector as they see the value in existing assets. QIC said it would sell its 50 per cent stake in Perth’s Claremont Quarter, one of Perth’s premium shopping and lifestyle destinations, in May, via real estate agencies CBRE and McVay Real Estate, and won interest within weeks of hitting the market. It said the sale of Claremont Quarter, jointly held by the unlisted QIC Property Fund and QIC Town Centre Fund, was in line with client-endorsed strategies for both funds. The sale showed a capitalisation rate of about 6 per cent, industry players said. QIC director of real estate capital markets James Doneley said the deal further showed the manager’s ability to deliver successful transactions on behalf of investors. “While still subject to FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) approval, the pending purchase price was above QIC’s book value, which, if executed as planned, will be a very pleasing result for our investors and QIC,” Mr Doneley said. “Moreover, the strong response to our expression of interest campaign in the past fortnight demonstrates that confidence is returning to the broader retail sector.” Hawaiian already operates 11 Perth metropolitan shopping centres, and Claremont Quarter is about 9km southwest of the Perth CBD on a 2.7ha site. The 29,800sq m centre is anchored by David Jones, Coles and Jack’s Whole Foods & Groceries, backed by five mini-majors and 118 speciality stores and kiosks. It sports a Zimmermann and a Sass & Bide store, alongside brands including Chanel and Georg Jensen. Hawaiian chief operating officer Richard Kilbane said the pending acquisition also underpins its confidence in the property’s future, with the new Laneway precinct to open later this year. The deal caps off about $2bn in WA shopping centre sales this year, including Vicinity Centres’ $420m purchase of Lakeside Joondalup and JY Group’s purchase of a half interest in Westfield Whitford City. CBRE’s Simon Rooney and McVay Real Estate’s Sam and Dan McVay handled the sale. Mr Rooney said the sales process generated investor engagement from domestic and offshore groups, institutional and private capital as well as local family offices ahead of Hawaiian exercising its rights. “There are limited opportunities to secure a holding in a dominant and strong performing regional shopping centre, in this case one located in what is historically one of the more tightly held markets in Australia. Claremont Quarter is a premium retail offering, underpinned by one of Australia’s most affluent catchments with high retail spending, driving the centre’s impressive turnover performance,” Mr Rooney said. “This transaction completes a week-long, $627 million splurge on regional shopping centres in Perth,” he said. “This signals the strengthening demand for regional shopping centres following a market recalibration,” Mr Rooney added. Mr McVay said Claremont Quarter was a genuine fortress mall, positioned in one of Australia’s most affluent trade areas. “Its unique tenancy mix and strong productivity levels make it an exceptionally rare offering that will deliver above market income growth for the foreseeable future for owners well into the future,” he said. realcommercial.com.au is owned and operated by ASX-listed REA Group Ltd (REA:ASX) © REA Group Ltd By accessing or using our platform, you agree to our Terms of Use.

co-founders Simone Sichel and George Tsimpidis “Mediterranean cuisine is built on simplicity and quality,” Tsimpidis tells Broadsheet not something shipped in from halfway across the world.” a 120-seat restaurant inside The Grove Residences in Claremont which Sichel and Tsimpidis opened in February It’s the latest venture from the team behind Cup & Co in Floreat and while the menu leans Greek and Italian – reflecting the pair’s heritage – the approach is broader Make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter today ‘But duck isn’t a Mediterranean ingredient’ But if the best ducks in Australia are grown 150 kilometres from our restaurant and we’re not using them “It might not be a Mediterranean ingredient but this is the Mediterranean philosophy.” The menu moves between the classically Mediterranean and the more inventive Dishes like vine leaf-wrapped snapper with preserved lemon and roasted tomatoes nod to the way Tsimpidis’s family cooked in Greece and the blue mackerel dish with tomatoes and charred onion is a near replica of the dish his grandmother made on Sundays like prawn macarons with sea urchin and crisp basil leaves a sweet-and-salty bite that plays with expectations That same balance of tradition and experimentation carries through the rest of the menu There’s a Margaret River beef fillet with smoked scamorza cheese a dish that pulls from Sichel’s Italian background which layers coffee-infused mascarpone between crisp threads of the Greek shredded pastry “It’s about bringing the two cultures together in a way that makes sense,” says Sichel rather than the more commonly used kingfish like Mediterranean fish.” Other ingredients are picked with the same level of consideration: almond za’atar alongside beef Wellington; pistachio cream with prawns and scampi; parmesan and fish roe spread on grilled cauliflower The drinks menu takes a similar approach: mostly local Western Australian and South Australian wines dominate the list from crisp vermentinos and chenin blancs to bigger reds from Margaret River and the Barossa Valley There’s also a strong emphasis on champagne with bottles ranging from houses such as Louis Roederer “We wanted to create a list that reflects our surroundings but also one that gives people a reason to celebrate,” says Sichel “And champagne always feels like a celebration.” There’s a limoncello and elderflower spritz a smoky Espresso Martini with Old Young’s vodka and an umami Old Fashioned that layers dark rum with port a tight selection of gins is poured with hyper-specific tonic pairings chosen to highlight their aromatics Sichel and Tsimpidis want the experience to feel layered: refined dining “We want to grow in the right direction with the right people,” Sichel says A New App

updated design increases the yield to nine apartments—eight three-bedroom raning in size from 225sqm to 247sqm and one four-bedroom of of 491sqm—while maintaining the same bulk and scale Architect Danny Giorgi said the design reflected consideration of the site’s surroundings and local planning Giorgi said the project set a “precedent for quality medium-density living” and that the river and escarpment were “essential aspects of the site and design response” “All apartments incorporate multiple outdoor living areas Sustainability was a key focus of the project with the development exceeding “best-practice” environmental standards Recent boutique developments such as Lucent Claremont and The Terraces highlight growing demand for premium housing in Perth’s western suburbs Public consultation for the project is due to close on January 6 more than 500 activists united to save a street – and their actions marked a major turning-point in the environmental movement but a stubby little sidestreet between terrace houses that ends abruptly in a brick wall But when it comes to the history of direct action this could be one of the most significant sites in England the scene here was very different: 700 police officers and bailiffs in riot gear marched into a significantly larger Claremont Road and waged battle against about 500 activists who were dug in – some of them literally – against efforts to evict them underground bunkers and even secret tunnels “I talk about the three C’s that underpin this type of activism: creativity courage and cheek,” says campaigner Camilla Berens “It set the template for the next 20 or 30 years of how to do responsible disruption.” and the reason Claremont Road is now so short lies behind that brick wall at its end: what is now the six-lane A12 many of the condemned homes were vacated by residents and reoccupied by squatters and artists I squatted on Claremont Road for three years and the proposed east London river crossing through Oxleas Wood The Claremont Road protests were a “a joined-up mix of social and environmental motivations” “I didn’t have a green brain cell in my head,” he says Weaving through the traffic-clogged streets he realised: “What I was doing wasn’t crazy I was overtaking a lot of people in little boxes and that was far crazier than what I was doing.” He joined the London Cycling Campaign the Department for Transport had begun repossessing and demolishing houses along the route of the M11 link road Claremont Road was the last street standing “We realised that we needed to make a big focus of it,” says Geffen Activists built webbing up on the rooftops to evade police Photograph: Julia Guest“One of the first things we did was to barricade it and set up street furniture,” says John Drury then a PhD student studying collective action The street became something of a countercultural tourist attraction with colourful murals and outdoor sculptures made of junk and a public cafe “We had to just throw everything at it,” says Geffen Some protesters built wooden observation towers on top of their houses what happens if we build an absolutely huge tower?” This became “Dolly” a scaffolding structure 30 metres (100ft) high a 92-year-old former actor who had lived on Claremont Road her entire life and was among the last of the residents to leave She once told a reporter: “They’re not dirty hippy squatters Other ad-hoc battlements appeared: treehouses connected to the houses across the street by webs of netting and walkways; roadblocks made out of cars and shopping trolleys filled with concrete Some activists built underground bunkers in which to seal themselves – “very elaborate womb-like structures that involved lots of layers of mattresses The idea was that whatever tool the police or bailiffs tried to use to get them out “would get gummed up” The upper floors of several houses beneath the tower were knocked together to create a “rat run” to make it harder for the police to reach the protesters Volunteers had been monitoring police compounds for signs of activity Claremont is going to be taken,’” recalls Berens a journalist who reported on the events for the Guardian “I think the whole of alternative London turned up There was a massive party the night before.” The next morning, 28 November, an estimated 500 protesters were ready, remembers Neil Goodwin, who edited his colleague’s Mayyasa Al-Malazi’s footage of the siege: “The rooftops were packed; every bunker “The police turned up in the early afternoon,” recalls Mark Green (not his real name) “There were hundreds of them and they swarmed into the street in stormtrooper gear with batons raised Instead they just found a bunch of hippies and local residents sitting around.” A sound system on the tower cranked up the Prodigy album Music for the Jilted Generation A 30ft tower was also built with a sound system from which music blared out Photograph: Julia GuestThings didn’t go as planned for the police “They thought they were going to start by tackling the houses and then they realised people had locked on to the road itself,” says Julia Guest Activists had drilled holes into the asphalt which were covered over with sheets of metal with holes in them The activists “lay down with their arms through the holes and locked their wrists on with handcuffs.” The police and bailiffs brought in mechanical diggers hammers and crowbars; and every occupant made themselves as difficult as possible to remove which I’d covered in corrugated iron and filled with tyres,” says Goodwin When the bailiffs eventually broke through that evening Goodwin attached himself to part of the scaffolding tower with a bicycle D-lock the keys of which he had chucked into a pile of tyres and I’m like: ‘I’m gonna be sitting here all night.’ So I said to people: ‘Could you see if you can find some D-lock keys?’” Luckily they were just teetering over the edge of a gap in the floorboards someone led me down through a loft to warm up a bit,” says Green “We then went through a hole in a wall and exited through a wardrobe into a room where people were watching themselves on the news on an old black-and-white portable TV.” about half the protesters had been evicted says Geffen: “The police were puzzled that people who they thought they’d evicted kept reappearing they got a metal detector out.” They discovered the activists had built a tunnel out of oil drums running underneath the back gardens and into one of the houses on the next road Supplies and people had been going back and forth the whole time everyone on the tower and all the roofs just laughed at them.” “the more brutal the police and bailiffs became” grabbed and falling from heights (though no one was seriously injured) “It definitely felt like there was a political element to it.” The protesters “had a very strong commitment to non-violence” “We needed to be acting in accordance with the values that we wanted to speak for If we’re talking about environmental sustainability and sharing this Earth “If you live on a scaffolding tower for a few days And they didn’t really want to chase me around in a game of cat and mouse.” Doug’s persistence extended the protest by another full day The police even brought in a “hostage negotiator” to try to coax him down and was just concerned for my welfare.” Doug was not swayed and I used them to make myself what was basically a coffin which I slept in.” The police finally got to him the next morning A sign referring to Dolly Watson a 92-year-old former actor who had lived on Claremont Road all her life the police spent more than £1m evicting the protesters Nobody believed the campaign would stop it “was it turned the roads programme into a political thing When Labour came into power in 1997, it cut the major road schemes inherited from the Tories from 150 to 37, and pledged to focus on public transport. It felt like a victory for the anti-car campaigners, but it did not last. By 2000, New Labour was committing at least £30bn to building and improving roads and forecasting that another 2,500 miles of road would need to be built The protest changed the lives of many of those who took part “That was the day that I crossed the line,” says Berens I was a journalist looking in and reporting on it but because it was such an impressive campaign “It impacted me quite profoundly,” says Guest She became a documentary film-maker focusing on human rights in Israel one of the key organisers alongside Geffen Drury is a professor of social psychology at Sussex university Doug is a lawyer dealing with civic issues Green went on to design the famous Extinction Symbol He is less nostalgic about the event: “I found the overall experience cold He doesn’t like to describe it as a “battle” whereas it was just a group of people passively occupying an area with the only violence coming from the police.” the area and the protest attracted many people with drug and mental health problems not to mention locals who were either uprooted or forced to live on the edge of a six-lane road “I naively hoped it would be a spark for a wider and longer-lasting societal change,” says Green things have just got much worse since then than we could ever have imagined.” Geffen received an MBE for services to cycling in 2015, and now heads Low Traffic Future “What I’m now doing is still basically the same cause,” he says cars were the central issue for the environmental movement Environmental campaigners have gone on to do some great things on energy … but transport is now the biggest-emitting sector of the UK economy as well as being problematic in terms of air pollution children’s ability to play in the streets and all the waste products of car culture.” He thinks the movement needs to focus again on transport Another action like Claremont Road is unthinkable now given how far legislation has tightened against protest “because actions like that created a generation of people that have become acutely aware the only way that anything that’s unjust gets changed And if people are prevented from being able to freely connect with that sort of experience then what sort of world is going to come next?” This article was amended on 26 November 2024 Paul Morozzo is a campaigner at Greenpeace and not campaign director it was not Neil Goodwin who recorded footage of the

She says the students and staff are worried. "They're upset. More to do with what's happened to them, that hopefully nothing untoward has happened with them... the chooks are like their pets," she says. 15 of Claremont College's hy-line chickens are suspected stolen.(Supplied: Kellie Pearce) Hobart, Poultry FarmingTranscriptAnna BranchSo it's not every day that you sort of go down and go, oh yes, I'm going to do a head count of our chooks because there's about 48 of them. And I just sort of looked down and went, that doesn't actually seem to be a huge amount of chooks there. So I went in, counted them, and went, oh, okay. Somebody's, or some people have helped themselves. Ryk GoddardIt's pretty sad. Anna, how have the students responded? Anna BranchOh, they're upset. More to do with what's happened to them. That hopefully nothing untoward has happened with them. And they, well, okay, yep, there is an egg shortage. They're, you know, laying chooks are hard to get hold of. Hopefully they might've gone to some good homes, but yeah, it is more for the students, the unknown, and also the staff. I mean, the chooks are like their pets as well. So yeah, it's the unknown part of it. Ryk GoddardAre you gonna run an amnesty and invite people to anonymously return them if they are chicken thieves? Anna BranchAbsolutely, if anyone knows anything about it or knows where they are, just pop them back over the fence, even just in with our couple of sheep, Alfie and Bentley. The chooks don't usually wander very far from home. So we can just pop them back in with their other mates. There, but yeah, it'll be fantastic to have them come home. Yeah. Ryk GoddardNow this was Tuesday that you noticed them missing? Anna BranchYeah, Tuesday afternoon, I noticed them missing on, yeah, Tuesday morning. So yeah, it's, yeah. Oh, and as I said, you don't sort of actually go out and count them every day. It's a bit hard to count 48 chooks and get them to stand still. Ryk GoddardWell, I think we're told not to count our chickens. Anna BranchWell, that's exactly correct. Ryk GoddardExactly. Now, if you know someone who suddenly had a new bunch of chickens turn up on their house on Monday, Tuesday, you could, can you dob them in, Anna, on Claremont College's chicken hotline? Anna BranchOh, absolutely. Just give the college a ring or yeah, just give us any information. That would be great. Ryk GoddardAnd yeah, look, I hope the birds are okay. And I hope that you are able to restock your flock as well. Maybe people could donate some chickens to you. Would you accept that? Anna BranchYes and no, we've just got to be really careful with things like bringing mites and that sort of stuff in. Cause sometimes chooks can have those and then if you sort of bring them in and it can then infect the rest of the flock. Ryk GoddardAre they distinctive chickens, Anna? Anna BranchYeah, they're what we call hy-lines. So they're a bit like an ISA brown. So they're an egg laying chook. So that's what they're bred for. So they do look a bit like an ISA brown, but the breed of them is actually a hy-line.

Cunningham of La Verne and West Covina resident Linda De Leon showed up to express their distaste of the Trump administration and it’s recent policy decisions they say are hurting the country “We believe that Trump is a danger to our republic and he is anti- everything that we believe in democracy,” said Pat Cunningham of La Verne “He’s trying to bring his minions in to change things … with no rhyme nor reason His trying to get rid of Medicare and [offer] nothing for the middle class “He’s just bringing down so much chaos to the country,” said West Covina resident Linda De Leon Waving a sign that read “Only caring about your own rights is exactly how you lose them,” Richard Cabrera of Covina said he showed up to stand up for everyone’s rights we see what’s going on in the government

last year The wingman also played all four games for Western Australia at the Under 18 National Championships – no mean feat for a bottom-ager We spoke to Banfield at last month’s WAFL Colts preseason testing event about the key piece of advice his dad has instilled what he has learned from a range of other players and how he is set up to attack his draft year Q: What are your earliest memories of football CB: “My earliest memories are of me playing with my older brother’s side back at Swanbourne Junior Football Club Then just having my dad coach me at a very early age.” Q: How would you describe yourself as a player I try and be the best teammate I can be and get in the best positions to try to be really damaging by foot and with my work rate.” Q: Is there a particular player that you model your game after CB: “I really do like the way Marcus Bontempelli goes about things Those two come to mind because they are great ball winners and good leaders.” Q: How did you rate the success of your bottom-age year I worked hard over the off-season and the pre-season and thought I was given some great opportunities Q: Claremont achieved the ultimate success in 2024 and you were a big part of that how can that success be replicated in 2025 CB: “We just need to bring it back to the new boys in the squad and bring that success and energy again and hopefully we can get the chocolates again which would be great.” how much of an influence has he had on your development as a player CB: “I love to watch a few highlights of the Grand Finals that he played in and I thought he worked hard as a country boy so he’s someone who I look up to and want to model my game after he coached me through my younger years and I learned a lot from him and hopefully even more to come.” Q: What kind of advice has he instilled in you CB: “He has instilled in me to forget about mistakes which means if something happens forget about it and move on to the next thing Also just to always be competitive and work hard to be the best I can for the team.” Q: How valuable has it been to be able to train with the West Coast Eagles and what have you taken away from that experience CB: “I think it’s a huge opportunity To see some of your idols and people you watch on TV then go out and train with them and experience the intensity and competitiveness that they bring is something I want to bring into my training with a lot of the younger boys The mindset that they always go into training with the intensity they do is great Q: In the 2024 Under 17 Futures Match you spent a bit more time forward and kicked three goals Will you look to get forward of the ball more often this season CB: “That’s something I’ve been working on I’m still happy to play the position I’m seen to be most valuable in but I definitely love to go forward and I can bring value there through my intensity But I love to play forward and I love to play wing and I love to play on-ball so I’m not really sure where I’ll play but I’m ready for anything.” Q: What was it like to play in the State side as a bottom-ager alongside now AFL talent QUEENSLAND has made it back-to-back Player of the Week nominations
