AN Adelaide man awaiting extradition over a Scottish murder case has taken the unusual step of applying for
bail.
James McGowan — father of Adelaide soccer stars Dylan and Ryan McGowan — yesterday asked the
Holden Hill Magistrates Court to release him.Andrew Culshaw, for McGowan, said his client had “already
spent an extended period” behind bars waiting to see if he would be transported to Scotland. McGowan, 56,
holds dual British-Australian citizenship and has, since 1999, been a suspect in the murder of former soldier
Owen Brannigan. Natalie Charlesworth, for the Commonwealth, argued McGowan had no right to seek bail.
Magistrate Cathy Deland has reserved her decision.

Egg Corporation faces Federal Court over alleged cartel bid
By court reporter James Hancock

Allegations the egg industry tried to set up a cartel to boost prices have been aired for the first time in the
Federal Court in Adelaide.
A directions hearing has set the course for a four-day trial.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleges the Egg Corporation encouraged its
members to kill hens and destroy eggs to avoid an oversupply.
The legal action targets Egg Corporation directors James Kellaway, Jeffrey Ironside and Zelko Lendich and
two companies they directed, Twelve Oaks Poultry and Farm Pride.
The corporation, based at North Sydney, collects levies from its members for marketing and research.
At the time it had up to 150 producer members.
The ACCC alleges that from November 2010 the Egg Corporation, through its publications, encouraged
members to reduce egg production to avoid an oversupply, which could push down egg prices.
It is alleged members were told to cull hens and dispose of eggs.
The Corporation held a crisis meeting in Sydney in February 2012 where it is alleged a coordinated approach
was sought.
ACCC should disclose full case, lawyer says
A lawyer for Mr Lendich and Farm Pride, Dan Star, said the ACCC's investigation had been ongoing since at
least early last year.
He called on the ACCC to fully disclose its case soon.
"We want to know what the case is and we don't want to be railroaded unfairly into a trial," he told the
hearing.
"It's an important case for the respondents with draconian consequences if they're liable."
ACCC lawyer Natalie Charlesworth said documents would be supplied to back up its claims.
"There are six respondents and there are volumes of material on which we rely," she said.
"That is why it takes some time."
The Federal Court heard the Egg Corporation could face a fine of up to $10 million and the directors up to
$500,000 each.
It has been told an application might be made to move the proceedings to Sydney.
There is to be another directions hearing in August.

Law council to look at exodus of women

THE Law Council of Australia is to investigate why so many women are leaving the profession within 10 years
of graduating and why so few are choosing to become barristers.
The research comes at a time when more than 60 per cent of law school graduates are women, according to
Law Council of Australia president Alex Ward.
He said the profession wanted to understand the reasons so the skills of women lawyers could be retained
and maximised.
``If you've got more than 60 per cent of your potential lawyers having to make a decision on whether to leave,
you've got to look at it,'' Mr Ward said.
He said some firms still held antiquated views towards women that stymied their progression.
``There's a concern about women having children in some practices,'' he said.
``I've heard it said in some firms that to be a partner you can't have children.''
Many women lawyers were concerned about taking maternity leave because it could affect their job security.
He said the percentage of women barristers was alarming.
Nationally, only 19 per cent of barristers were women.
``People are concerned about gender equity on the bench,'' Mr Ward said. ``Governments are appointing
more and more females to the bench, but the primary pool is from barristers and (that percentage) is still very
low.''
Mother-of-three Natalie Charlesworth, who went to the bar four years ago, said it was difficult to find a
work-life balance in the legal profession for both men and women.
``I'll get up at 4am rather than work late so I don't miss my children, and because I don't have to answer to
anyone else,'' Ms Charlesworth said.
``There's also a myth that you're going to get swallowed up at the bar rather than at a law firm. But at law
firms the pressure to bill out can be a real challenge, particularly for people with families.''
Former Law Society of South Australia president Deej Eszenyi said her husband built his career around hers
while their daughter grew up, including cooking meals.
``I also know a number of women lawyers who have chosen not to start their careers, or put their careers on
hold, while they started families,'' she said.

The coroner has begun hearing evidence into the separate deaths of two people at an Adelaide shooting
range. Julia Morris, 23, shot herself at the Marksman Indoor Firing Range in October 2008. Coroner Mark
Johns was told she had been been released from hospital the same day after a suicide attempt. The inquest
was told the woman had a long history of mental illness. Five months later, Raymond Jast, 54, also shot
himself. The coroner was told he had no history of mental health issues but was going through a marriage
breakdown and had work and money problems. Jason Williams supervised both shooters on the days they
died. He gave evidence that anyone with photographic identification essentially could walk in off the street
and be shooting within 20 minutes of their arrival. A lawyer for the firing range, Natalie Charlesworth, said it
would be alleged police were not properly administering firearms laws at the time.
The coroner will also hear evidence about protocols and procedures in place at the time of the deaths.

Adelaide Ship Construction International was in a dispute with Defence SA over the doubling of the rent for its

SA - Invest less in shares, more in kids - professor.

ADELAIDE, Feb 11, AAP - Australians invest more in shares than they do in their children, says a population
expert.
Alison Mackinnon, the director of the University of South Australia's Hawke Institute, said "a very fundamental
change in behaviour" meant Australians valued economic success more than the contributions of parents.
While so-called mum and dad investors clambered for the spoils on the stock exchange, the emphasis on
economic wealth came at the expense of children.
"So much of our public discussion is about the growth of our economy and I think this tends to devalue other
issues," Professor Mackinnon said at a Population, Gender and Reproductive Choice forum.
"What about our social fabric? What about investing in building up our communities?"
Professor Mackinnon said society paid lip service to the importance of children, but in practice parenthood
was undervalued.
Women had made great strides professionally but the status of motherhood had suffered as a result.
"There is all this talk about investing economically in our futures," she said.
"But children are not being seen as part of those futures."
The forum was told Australia's fertility rate had fallen to 1.7 children for each woman of child-bearing age.
Women were delaying childbirth until well into their thirties, and around 20 per cent chose to forgo
motherhood altogether.
Professor Mackinnon said the perception that motherhood brought little status or economic benefits
influenced women's reproductive decisions.
"I'm not arguing that we should be encouraging everyone to have more children," she said.

Document 2 - Page 9 of 11
"But we should be enabling people who want to have children to confidently go ahead knowing that they will
be valued by the community."
The decision to delay having children was also compounded by employers relying more heavily on casual
and temporary workers.
Couples were no longer able to predict what might happen to them in the future.
"It's difficult for them to be confident about going ahead and having children with all the instability that's going
on," Professor Mackinnon said.
"They never know what's around the corner.
"So while many women are choosing to delay having children, it's not always a very real choice."
The Hawke Institute will include findings from the forum in recommendations to the Commonwealth
Department for Family and Community Services.
