Jason Leslie Griffiths, 43, pleaded guilty to a range of offences arising from a home invasion at Salisbury Heights in the northern suburbs in March last year. The District Court heard the Riverland man stole three firearms from a friend and travelled to Adelaide to confront a former partner about some missing money. "You drove all the way to Adelaide with the guns. You had plenty of time to reflect on what you were doing," Judge Gordon Barrett told the court. "You had further time to reflect when you got to Adelaide. You went to a hotel and played the pokies for a couple of hours. "You then went, taking the loaded shotgun, to the house where you had discovered your former partner was staying. "You went to the front door carrying the loaded shotgun. You say that you took the loaded shotgun to scare her." You were dressed only in underpants. You offer no explanation about that how that comes to be so. Griffiths fired at the woman's new partner after he answered the door, hit the man over the head and tied the woman up, the court heard. Judge Barrett said the man at the house had tried to protect himself using a golf club. "He swung the golf club at you but missed. You fired a shot in his direction but you also missed," he said.  Judge Barrett said Griffiths fired a second shot and told the man to lie on the floor. "When he did so, you hit him on the back of the head with the butt of the gun, causing him briefly to lose consciousness. He was bleeding about the head," he said.  "Having, as you thought, got the man out of the way, you moved to your former partner. When you found her, you dragged her from the hiding place by the hair. "You bound her wrists with duct tape that you brought with you in a bag and you gagged her with a T-shirt." Judge Barrett said that throughout the assault, Griffiths kept telling the woman it was her fault. Griffiths was eventually stopped when the man he had attacked got up from the floor and rushed at him and the two struggled before Griffiths fled. "You were dressed only in underpants. You offer no explanation about that how that comes to be so," he said. "You went to a house nearby to try and borrow a car but, of course, were refused. "You then went to a road and hijacked a car which you had pulled up at a stop light." It bears some similarity to a series of offences you committed against another former partner in 2003. Judge Barrett said Griffiths was later bitten by a police dog while officers were arresting him. He said the attack had been premeditated and violent, and bore a resemblance to previous offences by Griffiths. "It bears some similarity to a series of offences you committed against another former partner in 2003," he said. "In those circumstances, I said that you seemed to be well on the way to recovery. I was wrong about that. "This time the prospects of your rehabilitation do not look good ... testing shows that you can be emotionally labile and angry and lash out at impulsively at people closest to you." Judge Barrett set a backdated six-year non-parole term, which will let Griffiths seek release in March 2019. Regional South Australia is the country’s strongest property market based on sales growth a new report reveals – and the Victor Harbor area is a standout performer Hotspotting’s Price Predictor Index for autumn 2021 shows 29 of the 33 regional SA locations ranked in the report were identified as rising markets written by property analyst and Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder analyses sales activity in every suburb and town across Australia to determine where prices are likely to rise It said a rise in sales activity across many of the state’s regional areas was already translating into price growth Victor Harbor Council was considered a standout market because sales in suburbs including McCracken Encounter Bay and Port Elliot were climbing and high prices were being achieved The Victor Harbor area has been identified as a standout market in Hotspotting’s Price Predictor Index for autumn 2021 Harcourts South Coast principal Mark Forde said the region had become more popular during COVID-19 as people sought a lifestyle change we’ve been getting increasingly busier and the demand’s been growing,” he said “A lot of properties are selling within a couple of weeks of being listed.” a record 92 Adelaide suburbs were identified as rising markets in the report The previous 10 quarterly surveys have recognised between 60 to 70 suburbs across the city for rising sales Ray White Port Adelaide agent Nick Psarros said the area was increasing in popularity because of its lifestyle and affordability people have changed their attitudes – people don’t have to go to the city to work now “They want to … look at the beach while they’re working “Rosewater is a very good working class area where families can buy around the $500,000 mark.” Jordan Graham bought a house in Rosewater – a suburb he felt confident investing in as it was an improving area “I was looking in Largs or Semaphore but the market was crazy,” he said “I was pretty confident buying in Rosewater “I will do

looking for property in metropolitan Adelaide with a set budget in mind it may pay to check up on your potential council rates before buying Rates payable on a $450,000 house (valued just below our median according to Valuer General data) can vary by about $1000 between council districts Council rates calculations are a complex business and it is worth noting that services between council areas can differ and that individual councils offer discounts to certain ratepayers Scroll to the bottom to read more on rates complexity We asked councils across metropolitan Adelaide to provide their rates bill for a $450,000 house and a $300,000 unit in their area We also asked them to provide their own median house price and the rates bill it would incur While lower socio-economic areas offer buyers better value for their money in terms of space and quality houses valued at $450,000 in Salisbury and Playford have rates bills in excess of $1900 annually Buy a $450,000 home in the blue-chip suburb of Burnside and you will pay just $986 annually in council rates Council rates across different parts of Adelaide Agents say rates are not a major factor in most buyers’ minds but many househunters get a shock when comparing bills in certain nearby suburbs that fall into different council zones We asked some agents how buyers react to rates bills in different corners of Adelaide Hills living not far from the Belair National Park (pictured) Rates on a $450,000 house in the Mitcham and Onkaparinga council areas can vary by hundreds of dollars a year Mike Dobbin of Magain Real Estate specialises in Adelaide’s southern area and says buyers often comment on the difference in rates bills between the Mitcham Council area and neighbouring Onkaparinga A home valued at $450,000 in Mitcham’s Craigburn Farm Coromandel Valley and Bellevue Heights will have a rates bill of $1280 Onkaparinga Council flatly refused to say what the rates bill would be for a home valued at $450,000 in neighbouring Flagstaff Hill but it would be fair to assume it would cost hundreds of dollars more Valuer General figures generally come in lower than market value, but a recent realestate.com.au advertisement for a $460,000 house listed its rates bill in the vicinity of $1800 Mr Dobbin said rates bills did not deter buyers from making major property investments especially when buyers downsized into nearby homes with higher rates bills “It’s not a game breaker – it’s just disappointing,” he said All aboard the O’bahn to the northeastern suburbs where council rates can vary by hundreds of dollars between Campbelltown and Tea Tree Gully councils Buyers in the northeastern suburbs that divide the Campbelltown and Tea Tree Gully council districts may also notice hundreds of dollars of difference in their rate bills if they choose Dernancourt Hope Valley or Highbury (in Tea Tree Gully) over Paradise A $450,000 house in Campbelltown would be charged $1374 in rates while in Tree Tree Gully the bill would be $1787 who sells many properties in the northeast said rates bills were a consideration rather than a driving factor for most buyers “Definitely there’s no question it does factor into some buyers’ minds,” he said “But at the end of the day you do get a lot of value in Tea Tree Gully in relation to green waste and they’ve got great prices and a lot of infrastructure going up there “You are paying for it but you get a lot as well.” He said sales price was the number one driving factor behind most property decisions The lake at Mawson Lakes — a planned suburb in the Salisbury council area that has many homes priced at $450,000 and higher Salisbury Council’s median house price rates bill is one of Adelaide’s lowest at $1192 But if you look to the area’s more prestigious suburbs in the district you are likely to find plenty of properties priced well over $400,000 with significantly steeper rates bills to boot the council offers some remissions to the owners of houses valued above $490,000 a home valued at $450,000 in the Salisbury Council area will set you back $1923.75 in rates Selling agent Matt Sergeant of Harcourts Sergeant Property there have been a dozen sales worth more than $1 million in Mawson Lakes alone you would expect to pay a certain amount of council rates to have that kind of service,” Mr Sergeant said While he admits no one is “happy” about paying council rates Mr Sergeant does not believe they deter buyers “Strata fees are more of an issue than council rates,” he said “People will not buy a strata property (based on fees) – that’s something I see come up all the time “(They feel like) they’re effectively paying council rates two times.” a Local Government Association spokesman suggested it was best to compare annual rates payable based on individual median-valued property only “Rates are calculated to equitably spread the collection of revenue across a community based on the relative value of each property in that area,” the spokesman said “The value of the house is not the key factor in apportioning rates it is the value of the house compared to other houses in the council area.” In justifying his decision not to provide the rates bill for a $450,000 house to News Corp Onkaparinga Council’s Chief Financial Office Anthony Spartalis argued “the only accurate statewide comparison of rates would be one based on the median house value in each council area” “That’s because rates are calculated to fairly balance the collection of revenue across a council area based on the relative value of each property within that council area,” Mr Spartalis said where council rates can vary by as much as $1000 a year on a home valued at $450,000 depending on which council area you are in Northern District

scaffolding climbed to the top of the structure on the East End of the building to bless the cross that sits high above the Trinity Chapel Canon Kenneth’s blessing marked a significant milestone in a restoration and repair project which began with a survey by the then Clerk of Works Spring noted the stonework was in a dangerous condition and major work was required Restoration work eventually got underway after a huge fundraising appeal in the mid to late 1980s glazing and maintenance team working their way round the building ever since – a 37-year marathon that has taken almost as long as it took to build the main cathedral Topping Out is an age-old tradition in the building trade and has been adopted by the cathedral as a way of marking the end of each phase of restoration The latest phase has seen around 1,100 stones replaced lead water goods repaired and any other remedial work undertaken Cannon Kenneth said: “I feel incredibly privileged to have been asked to carry out the blessing at the East End “As well as marking the contribution that our stone sponsors have made it is an opportunity to reaffirm the purpose of this building “A grand and glorious tribute to our Lord and a symbol of hope and resilience for the city.” The scaffolding will now be painstakingly removed from Salisbury Cathedral The Topping Out proved a red-letter day for Gary Price He started work on the spire as a stone sawyer and completes the circuit of restoration and repair as the head of the Works Yard they have clocked up more than 80 years’ experience while the rest of the team of 20 have collectively amassed more than two centuries of experience the scaffold will be painstakingly removed Lead mason Lee Andrews talks to a member of the press Rooftops and parapets currently accessible will fall back into quiet as will the delicate carvings done by the cathedral masons and the ‘secret’ glazing workshop built to facilitate the re-leading of the windows and the installation of the Moses window in 1781 there are some hidden treasures for stonemasons and workers of the future to find current masons uncovered evidence of their forebears eaten for lunch and used to pack spaces between stones And masons carrying out restoration work centuries from now will discover quirky stone carvings of a sunflower and even the figure of a female mason carved by Carol Pike who has worked for the Cathedral for 17 years and was married in the Cathedral Quire This intricate gecko carving will now be barely visible Among the new stones fixed on the East End there are also commemorative stones recalling historic events or people – King Charles’ stone unveiled when he was the Prince of Wales to mark the 800th anniversary of the cathedral’s foundation the Spitfire Stone that recalls the wartime work of the so-called ‘secret spitfire’ builders and a stone celebrating the then Dean’s daughter running the London marathon to raise funds for the cathedral restoration Other stones have been carved in memory of loved ones as part of the Cathedral’s Sponsor a Stone scheme They are now all waiting to be found in future Gary said: “It has been a great honour and a privilege to have been able to work on this incredible building since the start of our modern repair programme and by mid-November all traces of the scaffolding that has made its way around the building for the last 37 years will be gone and the Cathedral will stand in glory as it did in the 14th century after the spire was added “I feel a bit sad about not being able to look at the amazing carvings done by our team but incredibly proud of and humbled by what they have achieved.” The stonemasons have now moved on to the North Cloisters where they are restoring the elaborately carved tracery and Purbeck columns
