In May, the State Government passed legislation abolishing compulsory student unionism. It prohibited the levying of a mandatory student fee for all but a small range of services, although the legislation was later amended to widen the list of permitted activities. A spokesman for the National Union of Students, Mr Tim Lyons, said the legislation had removed student power over distribution of the fee, but had not led to any fee reduction. Even university administrations were cooperating with stu dent organisations to retain mandatory fees in an attempt to maintain existing service levels, he said.

A spokesman for the Minister for Tertiary Education, Mr Storey, rejected the criticism, saying the legislation had achieved the aim of outlawing mandatory student union fees. He predicted student services fees would fall, despite strong indications from universities to the contrary.

Sandra Perrett, 45, redirected more than $6000 from Gladys Lovelies bank account to pay for her poker machine debts, Melbourne Magistrates Court was told. The court was told Ms Perrett went to Ms Lovelle's house in Wantirna with a knife in a plastic freezer bag on 2 September, after Ms Lovelle had discovered the money was missing.

Detective Sergeant Alan Pax-ton of the special response squad told the court Ms Perrett had stabbed Ms Lovelle 18 times to the upper body and, after she fell, "a number of times" in the back. Detective Paxton said Ms Perrett then changed into her work clothes and returned to work at the Wantima Mall branch of the National Australia Bank. He said that in early August, Ms Perrett had changed the mailing address for Ms Lovelle's cheques from her address to the bank's. Using false withdrawal slips, she took out $1600 and $4500 from Ms Lovelle's account.

The Prom will feature orchestras, soloists and choirs in more than 25 venues, stretching from Spring Street to Queen Street. This marriage of music and architecture was brokered by producers Elston, Hocking and Woods. "It comes from having the Athenaeum and thinking how great Collins Street is, and how Melbourne often doesn't appreciate It," said Greg Hocking, a member of the Collins Street Precinct Committee.
