navy officer Grange Chung uses images of himself in military uniform The Liberal candidate for Reid, Grange Chung, has apologised for distributing a four-page booklet commemorating Anzac Day that also encouraged people to vote for him and linked to a how-to-vote card The Anzac Day booklet, authorised by the NSW Liberal party The defence department has repeatedly urged veterans to refrain from using pictures of themselves in uniform to avoid any suggestion the military is politically partisan Sign up for the Afternoon Update: Election 2025 email newsletter The booklet, distributed by mail, contains a map of dawn services in the electorate, a personal message from Chung about what Anzac Day means to him and references the Sandakan death marches in Borneo. Chung said Reid hosted Australia’s only memorial to the tragedy, which he describes as “deeply personal” given his father’s family comes from Sandakan. Read moreThe final page of the pamphlet contains a political message from the Liberal party urging people to “Vote 1 Grange Chung” It refers to Chung’s cultural heritage and describes him as “one of us” and someone who “understands your story – because it’s his story too” Almost one-quarter of Reid’s population identify as Chinese-Australian according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Reid is a marginal Labor seat held by the MP Sally Sitou A QR code printed in the Anzac Day booklet directs people to the Liberal party’s how-to-vote card in Reid “Grange’s heritage reflects the diverse and vibrant spirit of the seat of Reid,” the Liberal party message says he understands first-hand the strength that comes from multiculturalism and the importance of giving everyone a fair go “He’s not interested in political spin – just practical common-sense solutions protect our suburbs and bring integrity back to government.” who received the pamphlet and declined to be named but confirmed he was not a member of any political party said he respected Chung’s military service but considered the material to be inappropriate “His military service has already been heavily highlighted in previous electioneering material distributed to households by the Liberal candidate,” the Reid resident said Anzac Day should be about non-political reflection and respect Chung apologised for the campaign material and said he took responsibility for it even though it was endorsed by the NSW Liberal party “I take responsibility for this brochure and apologise,” Chung said no one understands the importance of Anzac Day and honouring the service of the men and women in our defence forces more than I.” Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese both downgraded political campaigning on Anzac Day. Dutton made brief remarks to condemn booing of welcome to country acknowledgments at Melbourne’s dawn service.

See all stories.What should we make of the latest crazily priced Penfolds wine, the French-Australian shiraz, Penfolds-Jaboulet La Grange? Is it just marketing?―A.C., Wangaratta, VIC Wine has long had one foot in the luxury business. First Growth Bordeaux, Château d’Yquem and grand cru Burgundy have been luxury wines for centuries. Now California, Tuscany, Champagne and dozens of other regions have luxury wines because there are more prosperous people in the world who want to drink them. Penfolds’ owner, Treasury Wine Estates, is committed to joining the global luxury goods business. Photo: Simon LetchThe controversial wine is a 50/50 blend of Penfolds Grange with one of the most exalted French wines, Paul Jaboulet’s Hermitage La Chapelle, which is also a syrah (shiraz). Both parts are 2021 vintage and the price is $3500 for one bottle. To some collectors, it doesn’t matter that they could buy a bottle of each and blend them in their kitchen for a lot less money ($1800). Why are some wines more expensive than others? An expert breaks it downInternational blending of wine isn’t rare. Jacob’s Creek bottles and Coolabah casks had Chilean wine in them last century when – it’s hard to believe now – we had a shortage of grapes. Up until the early 20th century, it was common, in Bordeaux, to blend wine from other parts of France to bolster its red in bad years. Château Palmer revived this recently with its Historical XIXth Century Wine, which blends Rhône Valley syrah with Bordeaux cabernet and merlot. Penfolds also makes special bottlings that blend South Australia wines with those from California and Bordeaux. At the end of the day, the Penfolds-Jaboulet La Grange is sure to be a bloody fine wine. Indeed, all of the Pennies wines with the super-sized price tags that I’ve tasted over the years are excellent and very age-worthy, so they satisfy the collector/speculator buyer as well as the wine-loving drinker. What are the best red wines to cellar for 18-plus years?It’s not for me – it’s not aimed at anyone on a wine-writer’s budget – but I don’t have a complaint about the fact that it exists, as some critics evidently do. Psst! If anyone out there has a bottle of the La Grange, I’d love to try it.

spot in Grange Bora is set to open at the end of this month where Cooks Pantry the Grange institution served the community for 16 years The new venue is inspired by owner David William’s hospitality experience in Brazil David had been waiting for his dream location to open up at a beachside location and the fairytale is finally becoming a reality “It’s pretty much a dream come true,” said David Bora will offer a casual brekkie menu featuring all the usual suspects of a classic Australian cafe – but a bunch of items will feature a delicious Brazilian twist While David is keeping the menu under wraps for now he did share a delicious menu teaser; “We are going to have coxinha,” David said “It’s a kind of chicken croquette that Brazilian people love!” The cafe will be open seven days for breakfast Bora will shift to a casual bar-style offering at night with cocktails and small bites including burgers which will open during the day for coffees “I’m really excited to bring a bit of the Brazilian culture to the community,” David said “I believe it’ll be very successful in the Brazilian community because we love it It’s a real traditional Brazilian food.” “The majority of my focus is to get the local people coming through it’s probably going to be full of Brazilians as well Since November last year David and his team have given the cafe a full renovation “We’ve pretty much changed the whole layout of the place,” he said and we’ve implemented lots of new areas in the cafe and it looks amazing – way bigger than it used to be!” David first came to Australia around ten years ago to study English while working at the same time His language skills weren’t quite where he wanted them to be so he returned to Brazil for two months before coming back for another year of study The full-time course left little time to explore the country what is the point if I can’t explore Australia?” he said he applied for a three-year leadership and management course which gave him the chance to travel and experience more of Australia I decided I wanted to emigrate to Australia.” The best pathway to living in Australia turned out to be moving to Adelaide he completed three and a half years of cooking studies while gaining experience in cafés and restaurants “I wanted to have my own business after working in cafes and restaurants for so long,” said David “Restaurant work became strenuous because of the late nights and when I moved to the cafe scene I started loving hospitality again.” “I’ve always taken in the customer service aspects from visiting cafes and restaurants around the world I’ve taken notes for whenever I have my own place – now I have Bora!” “Starting right at the bottom means I have knowledge all around hospitality I started 10 years ago as a kitchen hand in Sydney which I have been for the past three years.” “The opportunity of opening Bora means I’m finally investing in my dream!” The venue is currently waiting for a liquor licence which David assures us will be granted before opening Bora’s doors the brand new cafe with a Brazilian twist opening up in a beloved Grange spot this February When: Opening late February 2025Where: 6-8 Jetty Street,

Take 50% of Syrah grapes sourced from the vineyards of Hermitage in Northern Rhône and blend them with exactly 50% of Shiraz that has come from the vineyards of the Barossa Valley in South Australia But dig below the surface and a whole world of complexity and intrigue opens up adds to the allure and fascination of a wine that is now on sale through a select number of wine importers and merchants Grange La Chapelle is a true 50/50 partnership down to the blend One fascinating aspect to the launch of Grand La Chapelle is how on earth did both sides Particularly as what was apparently secretly known even within the confines of the two producers as “Project Crochet” goes back as far as 2021 until the moment the embargo was lifted and news of the wine hit the press on February 09 A partnership that started as the result of the long-standing friendship between Caroline Frey chief winemaker and vigneron at La Chapelle in Bordeaux and Peter Gago Together they wanted to create a wine that “truly intertwines the rich heritage of French wine tradition and the innovative spirit of Australian craft” For Frey it is the culmination of their combined “imagination” of what was possible by working together “The story made a lot of sense and I was very curious about what would happen if we blended these two wines together,” she says What is particularly fascinating is how the wines are so different when tasted separately but then something “happens” when they are blended together She likened it to an artist and what happens when you blend primary colours together You create something new and you can’t go back to the original But you put them together and it is something completely new with a great story behind it But it is curiosity that has lead me to this point,” she says Gago says the blend is so complete in creating a totally different and new wine that you can’t pick out the usual characteristics you would expect to taste in a La Chapelle or Grange wine “This wine is all together different,” he adds It has not been put together by a focus group.” Caroline Frey says she was attracted by the "curiosity" to see what would happen if you blended Rhone Syrah together with Barossa Valley Shiraz At the heart of the project is Syrah and Shiraz - two grape varieties that share the same ancestry and DNA A variety that made its home in the Northern Rhône and then was taken all the way to Southern Australia in 1832 by James Busby where it found new life there Now all these decades later they are being “reunited A wine that has been made from grapes grown in different soils For the collaboration to truly work it had to be a true 50/50 partnership “For something completely new it has to be 50/50,” she stresses “It’s really simple and I think the simplicity of it confuses people,” adds Gago Which meant the wine had to be a 50/50 blend of 50% La Chapelle Syrah grapes from the steep sun drenched slopes of the Hill of Hermitage in Northern Rhône and 50% Grange Shiraz grapes sourced from a collection of select South Australian phylloxera-free vineyards (many of which date back to the 19th century) across the Barossa Valley The two varieties might share a common ancestry but how have they evolved on opposites sides of the world grown in very different terroirs and climates For the wine to succeed they had to find a wine to marry “the elegance of Grange with the strength of La Chapelle,” says Frey The 50/50 collaboration goes right through the project from the tasting notes to the joint branding on the corks With the red from The Grange and the blue from La Chapelle Peter Gago says it was the chance to bring the two country's wine history together with a true 50/50 collaboration between Grange and La Chapelle They also had to find a way to get the La Chapelle grapes from the Northern Rhône to Penfolds’ winery in Magill just outside Adelaide where all the magic of the Grange happens For that they turned to customised stainless steel 1,200 litre pallet tanks that are air freighted and temperature controlled all the way on the long flight Down Under On arrival at Penfolds the grapes then go straight into 50% new French oak barrels The trial has now become a finished wine now out in the market Now they have created Grange La Chapelle 2021 Gago and Frey are excited to see how the wine will develop not only in age “We have noticed that in bottle every month it is getting more complete,” says Gago is already in bottle and that will be followed by the 2023 Grange La Chapelle which is currently in barrel will also be determined by mother nature and they can’t guarantee there will be a Grange La Chapelle every year remain very much a limited production as La Chapelle itself is only producing 20-25,000 bottles a year for its main wine and there is a “finite resource” to work with Peter Gago and Caroline Frey at Wine Paris last month This is not the first time the two producers and their wines have come together in a professional setting Both Grange and La Chapelle were included in a comparative tasting organised by The Institute of Masters of Wine many years ago a special Hermitage Luncheon was held at the Rakel Restaurant in New York with a then co-hosted by Gerard Jaboulet and Max Schubert A lunch that saw the 1971 Penfolds Grange poured alongside a 1978 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle “But I think the wine industry needs good news stories like this There is a lot of gloom and doom at the moment.” Now the wine has been made the big task comes in not letting down long standing private and trade customers who are desperate to try it for themselves even at €2,600 a bottle Eighteen distributors and merchants around the world have been selected to sell the wine What they don’t get is the chance to hear directly from Frey and Gago on how the whole collaboration has come together A story that has been nearly 200 years in the making but finally the world now has the best Syrah from the Rhône and the finest Shiraz from the Barossa Valley in the same bottle of wine The Buyer TVClick below to watch The Buyer's library of online debates, videos and webinars. Peter Snowden will send a small but select team to Kembla Grange on Tuesday with four runners spread across three races The Randwick-based trainer will start unraced two-year-olds Beadman and Akaysha

Mowing F&M Benchmark 64 Handicap (1400m) Zac Lloyd will partner Snitzel colt Beadman in its event while Tom Sherry will be aboard Capitalist filly Akaysha in the same race “They are both nice two-year-olds,” said Snowden “Akaysha has had four trials in total and finished second in both of the most recent of them and he’s run second and first in each of them “Beadman has an awkward draw but he’s capable of overcoming that and Akaysha has drawn the middle of the field and should get her chance from there.” Chad Schofield will take the ride on Manwe in its event with the former Anthony Cummings trained four-year-old having his first start for the stable “He’s only had the eight starts and is a winner and placegetter,” Snowden said “He was placed in city grade at Canterbury at the start of his last preparation and he wasn’t beaten too far when fifth at Warwick Farm before being spelled He had a trial in January and is nice and fresh for Tuesday.” Sherry will also ride California Sunrise in her event from the inside barrier and Snowden believes she is poised to sprint well fresh “She’s been a very consistent horse for her entire career,” he said “She’s a Hawkesbury maiden winner and has been placed in a further six of her other seven starts “We gave her a couple of trials before she resumed with a third at Warwick Farm when she was beaten less than a length “If she can run up to that effort and what she’s shown us already in her career then I think she should run a very nice race again and be hard to hold out.” Supplied by Racing NSWFull form and race

developing seven hectares of freehold land for residential development VRC chairman Neil Wilson said that the club would return to profitability by 2026 on the back of a lucrative new media deal with Tabcorp and Nine (owner of this masthead) a return to bumper Melbourne Cup week crowds and new sponsorship agreements Victoria Racing Club CEO Kylie Rogers and chairman Neil Wilson.Credit: Victoria Racing Club Wilson blamed a lingering COVID-19 hangover for the club’s four years of stinging losses discussed restructuring under new CEO Kylie Rogers explained why top-shelf Grange was served at a Melbourne Cup week function and revealed why luxury car brand Lexus supplied him with a free car Wilson also hosed down suggestions the club that hosts the Melbourne Cup needed to be bailed out of financial trouble and dismissed speculation that the VRC had borrowed $10 million from Racing Victoria to help pay staff wages As the club prepares for its autumn carnival group 1 Newmarket Handicap and group 1 Australia Cup Wilson sat down to answer 12 areas of concern among the VRC’s 34,000 members Wilson said the club had only now emerged from the tail of a COVID-19 hangover He said the VRC took on a $45 million debt to build its new $130 million Club Stand opened in October 2018 – the same year they announced a $5 million profit we were well on our way for continued profitability we were having to manage a very serious cost profile He said that while racing and wagering continued during the pandemic the VRC lost 90 per cent of its income stream VRC chairman Neil Wilson gets the use of a Lexus in his role with the racing club.Credit: Getty Images we revert back to everything being OK’,” he said Wilson said the club did extended deals with sponsors partners and members to help them transition through that “tricky” period and those deals had only now “washed through” but it’s not as easy as that,” Wilson said He said the VRC continued to invest in its platform – assets such as the racetrack car park areas and gardens – to ensure it had the “same quality engagement” to offer sponsors and members “That was a big decision … ‘what if we actually destroy this platform by cutting it completely?’ It’s going to be very hard to rebuild,” Wilson said but we would have been rebuilding it now.” “But if you’re going to do it – if you’re going to entertain international guests and international media people and international owners “So that the experience is something that they go back and tell people that they had a wonderful experience That’s the feedback we’ve consistently got.” Wilson said the VRC viewed Cup week as an “experience like no other” and it had a flow-on economic benefit for the state and we’ll continue to look at those,” he said Grange was served to Cup Week guests at a special function.Credit: George Fetting “I understand the optics of that,” Wilson said the point is that it happened under my watch “That was Penfolds’ decision to actually elevate the experience as a partner of the club ‘we want to do this’ as a symbol of the quality of the relationship and their support Because it’s a brand and it’s a product that people respect as quality.” Wilson said Penfolds had supplied the top-shelf wine as part of a sponsorship deal Wilson said the luxury car brand insisted that the chairman and VRC executives drove a Lexus as part of their partnership – Lexus sponsors the Melbourne Cup He personally pays more than $10,000 a year in Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) in relation to the vehicle “We’ve got a six-year deal we’ve done with Tabcorp and Nine which is supporting that position significantly,” Wilson said While he would not disclose the media deal figures Wilson said it was “a material uplift from what we have done previously” The 2024 Melbourne Cup Carnival attracted the biggest crowd since 2018.Credit: Getty Images Wilson said the club was on terms with creditors and had renewed sponsorships at “better levels” post-COVID as well as attracting new sponsorships and partners to improve the club’s bottom line The VRC was also buoyed by a bumper 2024 spring carnival in which crowds were up eight per cent The other significant change has been restructuring under new CEO Rogers – 40 staff were cut in December but the club has created 13 new roles “more aligned to moving forward as a business” Wilson said the VRC had seven hectares of freehold land at Flemington which is valued at $70 million and underwrites its ANZ loan He said the future of the land was all part of the club’s master plan which was yet to be signed off by the board or made public “We’re looking at the Flemington precinct (127 hectares) and we’re saying ‘what will that look like in 2040-2050?’,” he said “We’re looking at it through a lens of working with our partners and delivering assets that have a commercial return Gillon McLachlan talks to trainer James Cummings in the lead-up to the 2024 Melbourne Cup.Credit: Eddie Jim where there’ll be residential development there “This plan is having this whole precinct activated 365 days a year.” “I think you’d ask him about that,” Wilson said “But what I can say is that post the 2024 carnival “And I think we’ve established a platform going forward that will only get better I don’t have any concerns in that regard.” “The debt is not at the profile that is concerning at all,” WIlson said the ANZ are completely supportive of our strategy.” The chairman said the VRC had decided to manage investment in the club He said the return on these investments – improving facilities engaging with members and the public – would “significantly” outweigh the cost of the debt “That was directly related to the Club Stand,” Wilson said ‘we are building this asset that you’re all going to benefit from … because we are going to have more people on course Victoria Racing Club chairman Neil Wilson in front of the new Club Stand.Credit: Wayne Taylor “They support a lot of different industry assets at different racecourses – country and other metros – and we thought “Sometimes they actually don’t make those loans we took it as a loan … and we’re paying it back by .” “When I talk about the cost structure of the business it’s actually about how our assets are used,” Wilson said He said the New Year’s Day meeting cost the club a lot of money because it was a public holiday How do we reduce the cost profile?’” he said They don’t open everything because they don’t have to accommodate everyone (like they do on big event days).” He said the Club Stand would be open for the rest of the calendar year “It’s not something we can talk about,” WIlson said “They’re not really public that it’s even a Flemington project to be honest but I think there’s enough talk in the market that people are trying to get ABBA to Melbourne And we’ve been talked about as one of the sites “I can only comment that that’s something that’s confidential News, results and expert analysis

project by Penfolds has delivered a new world wine to trump the iconic Grange Australia’s leading winemaker Penfolds has created a new world wine by blending its flagship Grange with wine from France’s esteemed La Chapelle vineyard on the fabled Hill of Hermitage in the Rhône Valley “We’ve done something fairly outrageous,” said Peter Gago when launching the Grange La Chapelle 2021 in Paris last night It is a 50-50 split of Australian shiraz with some of the very best syrah (shiraz) from France and is expected to sell out within weeks Mr Gago would not reveal how many bottles were made but said the number was in the “thousands of bottles It was made in Adelaide from Grange from fruit harvested in South Australia’s Barossa Valley McLaren Vale and Clare Valley with La Chapelle fruit from Tain-l'Hermitage “This the first time in history that Penfolds flagship Grange has been blended with another winemaker's product,” Mr Gago said Mr Gago said the secret project came from a long-standing friendship he has with Caroline Frey one of the first Australians to taste the wine said the release brought the history of shiraz full circle the “father of Australian wine” walked through the Hermitage vineyards in 1831 and was able to collect cuttings he brought to Australia to kick-start the industry in South Australia.    “He likely walked through some of the vineyards this wine was made from,” Mr Caillard said Busby toured the Hill of Hermitage “for three or four days” and the syrah vines he collected were the genetic material that laid the foundation for Australian shiraz So Grange La Chapelle 2021 has an amazing historical link to Australia “It is a rare experience that is not just about what it tastes like,” he said He said the wine was beautiful and interesting with the Australian component matured in American oak hogsheads while the La Chapelle component was matured in 20 percent French oak barriques Mr Caillard said La Chapelle syrah was hailed as a “modern perfumed and beautifully balanced wine” Grange style created “a little magic” He tasted a slinky wine with pure blackberry and blueberry flavours with hints of roasted chestnuts and peppery undertones Mr Frey spoke of the difficulties she had to overcome to produce the wine “The year started with a frost event and the syrah was protected on the Hill of Hermitage with candles.” Then came heavy rail followed by warmer and drier conditions.’’ Mr Gago said the new blend “fuses two hemispheres and two winemaking cultures”.  The project was not without risks however Although the grapes shared a common ancestry each evolved into distinctive styles from their respective terroirs He described the wine as “beguilingly and alluring” And there is more Grange La Chapelle to come

Melbourne’s wealthiest suburbs Brighton East.  Levande initially applied to change the existing permit issued by Bayside City Council in February 2019 for Oak Grange Retirement Village The original permit for the 16,880msq site was to redevelop the existing 110 units and facilities to create six three to five-storey buildings and 208 apartments with 266 carparking bays in a basement level.   The changes included carparking bay layouts changes a reduction in the number of units to 201 and height changes with increases for three buildings and a reduced height for two.  Council told VCAT the proposed amendment was “minor design adjustments” and VCAT was “satisfied there is no notable change from the original permit”.  "There is a low bar to entry for objections It takes time to get a hearing and it's taken six months in this case to get a verdict,” said a Levande spokesperson.    Browse Levande retirement villages on #1 website villages.com.au   The Weekly SOURCE is published by

lots under a community title scheme for the 335 acre Scenic Hills property from just over one acre to more than five acres it will be a first for Campbelltown to be able to offer rural residential living on the western side of the local government area Under the proposal the existing clubhouse near the Raby Road entrance to the golf course will be retained to be used as a function centre The state government has given the proposal its blessing and now it’s up to the councillors to approve the final stage The Macarthur Grange planning package was placed on public exhibition from October 9 This was extended to November 15 following a request from the community 10 submissions were received from agencies and authorities including two neighbouring property owners Of the 14 submissions received from the community and two adjoining owners supported the proposed outcome but raised a range of issues The community submissions not supporting the proposal raised issues of inconsistency with state focusing in particular on an erosion of the Scenic Hills landscape The adjoining owners raised issues of existing and long-term access the need for a more wholistic planning approach that integrated perceived similar development potential The Macarthur Grange 18 hole golf course was developed and opened by the Tacca family more than 20 years ago Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1"

dream to have his own pool table and a swimming pool when building what was then intended to be his forever home 15 years ago ago having these two features was a top priority “A lot of it was about fulfilling childhood dreams,” says Michael “I didn’t come from money … and growing up one of our other next-door neighbours had a swimming pool and we didn’t have a swimming pool and Michael now shares the home with his wife The couple were married in October last year and have been dividing their time between Grange and Medindie Michael says when he was looking for somewhere to build the beach lifestyle of Grange with its tall Norfolk pines but there’s also lots of restaurants and there’s a pub here and it’s a little bit quieter than Henley the neighbours are all very friendly,” says Michael “There are little shops down the corner that the children pop down to and get their frozen yoghurt and things – it’s quite lovely,” adds Casie which was demolished to make way for his vision three bathrooms and space for up to two cars Among the standout features are a spacious master suite with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe The house also includes an open-plan living and dining area a wine cave and a pool house and pool room Michael says he had a lot of input into the design of the house It’s got a separate spa that sits outside the study It’s got an underground cellar with a custom-made pool table in it and it’s got a beautiful adult retreat area separate from the children’s area,” says Michael Other must-haves included separate living areas a wine cellar with a specially

because when you look at it there are personal touches that bring you a lot of joy You can personalise it to your own tastes,” says Michael Michael and Casie say their favourite area of the house is the front room with its soaring ceilings where they enjoy unwinding at the end of the day But after many years of splitting their time between Grange and Medindie Michael and Casie have decided to move permanently to their Medindie home “Both properties are quite big and they’ve got big gardens Trying to maintain the two locations just got a little bit much with our lives,” says Casie Michael

the beach and watch the sunset – it’s stunning,” says Casie The sale of 24 Jetty Street, Grange, is being handled by Sharee Redic of Toop + Toop we could not find the page you are looking for All
