SOLID WASTE LEVEY SET TO RISE
Monday, 11 July 2016 15:02
South Australia’s Solid Waste Levy is going to increase over the next four years, with a projected rise of $44 for businesses in metropolitan areas, and $22 in rural areas. In cases where local councils choose to pass on the levy rise to ratepayers; the impact is likely to be around $3 next year, increasing to $7 per year in 2019. State Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis said that every additional dollar raised from the solid waste levy will be invested back into the recycling and re-use of waste, to meet the objectives of the Carbon Neutral Adelaide initiative.
 
FORMER NHILL LOCAL FRONTS COURT FOR DISHONESTY
Monday, 11 July 2016 15:02
A former Nhill resident fronted Melbourne’s Country Court charged with a range of dishonesty offences recently, all in a bid to win the love and acceptance of his children. Graeme Effrett pretended to be a “big shot” and used a forged cheque to put a down payment on a mansion in South Yarra. Effrett was declared bankrupt in 2002, and after his marriage ended five years later, he applied for an offshore loan in 2010 for the sum of $290m USD with someone he’d never met. By 2011, he had his elderly father ask neighbours and friends for loans to support his son’s business that was already failing. Those loans totalled around $30,000 with Effrett spending the cash on his own living expenses, all while he collected payments from Centrelink. In 2012 his scams extended to online dating, where he convinced two women to part with about $50,000 between them, which he then sent to contacts in Africa and China. Effrett also deposited counterfeit cheques into his own bank account, one for $US4.6 million plus one of $US9.8 million. His dishonesty offences resulted in him being remanded in custody, and it’s understood none of his family speak to him anymore.
