A staunch republican who headed South Australia's successful bid for the $6 billion air warfare destroyer project will be the state's next governor. Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce will assume his five-year tenure when Marjorie Jackson-Nelson retires as governor on August 31 this year. SA Premier Mike Rann today also announced Vietnamese refugee Hieu Van Le as the state's next lieutenant governor. SA's next governor was to have been Maurice de Rohan, but the former agent-general in London died last year.

Scarce was a commander of HMAS Cerberus during a distinguished naval career before heading the federal government's Defence Materiel Organisation. He quit that position in 2004 to become chief executive of the SA government's defence unit and played a key role in the state winning the $6 billion contract to build Australia's new air warfare destroyers. But Scarce hoped his appointment as governor was not simply a reward for the lucrative contract. "I hope that I was chosen (as governor) because there were some attributes that he (the premier) saw as useful."

Adelaide-born Scarce said he favoured Australia becoming a republic. "The people of Australia will determine when and what form our republican state will take, until then there is a body of work that needs to be done," he said. "When that time comes, I will certainly be supporting Australia to become a republic but I don't think it's our critical issue at the moment." -- AAP

Melbourne will be the Australian headquarters of cut-priced Singapore Airlines-backed carrier Tiger Airways, Fairfax newspapers reported today. Sources told Fairfax Melbourne's bid to become the airlines's Australian home was considered superior to other bidders, which included Adelaide and Brisbane. The decision, expected to be announced by the company today, will generate hundreds of jobs in Victoria at the airline's Tullamarine Airport base and spark an airline discount war. The airline will initially offer flights serving Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Adelaide.--AAP

The father of confessed terror supporter David Hicks says the South Australian government is demonising his son with concerns over community safety following his release from prison. Terry Hicks said his son wouldn't be a security threat once released from jail and just wants to get on with his life. South Australian Premier Mike Rann has written to the Prime Minister raising concerns over security issues regarding Hicks. He has asked if the federal government will place a control order on Hicks. Rann has also promised to introduce legislation to stop the 31-year-old from selling his story. Hicks, 31, will be transferred from Guantanamo Bay to a South Australian prison by the end of this month to serve a nine-month jail term for providing material support to terrorism.--AAP

A South African man was stripped and superglued to his exercise bicycle and his mouth glued shut for hours today by armed robbers who ransacked his home and helped themselves to his finest Scotch whisky. The man was hijacked at gunpoint in a wealthy suburb of Johannesburg and forced to lead the thieves to his home in another area, a spokesman for the emergency services said. He was forced to strip before being superglued to the seat of his exercise bicycle. His hands and feet were also glued and his mouth sealed shut, the spokesman said. The robbers wore suits and reportedly helped themselves to the victim's Chivas Regal Scotch whisky while cleaning out his home. Help arrived only three hours later, when the man's partner arrived home. Emergency services workers used chemicals mixed with Vaseline to release him.--AAP

Adult retailers in South Australia want the state government to bring censorship laws into line with federal ALP policy. Eros Foundation chief executive Fiona Patten said the recent ALP national convention was unambiguous in its support for a regulated retail environment for the sale of federally classified X-rated films. Such films are currently banned from sale in SA. "Federal Labor policy now firmly states that adults in South Australia have a right to purchase adult material as long as it is not sold to minors, is not sold through family areas and as long as there is no degrading or demeaning imagery in it," Patten said. "All these criteria are met by selling X18+ films through the restricted adult shop network that already exists in South Australia." Patten said if South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson should extend bans to include buying and possession, and not just outlaw the sale.--AAP

Telemarketers could be fined up to $1 million if they breach the new Do Not Call register, Communications Minister Helen Coonan says. Launching the register in Sydney today, Senator Coonan said her main priority was to protect consumers from unwanted callers, but she also had to balance the interests of responsible marketers. Companies who called people signed up to the register would first be given a formal warning, but repeated offences could lead to courts imposing fines up to $1 million. Senator Coonan said the legislation had been designed to cover Australian companies with offshore call centres, as well as overseas companies calling people in Australia.--AAP

Australia's largest non-bank lender, Wizard Home Loans, has begun operating as a franchise as the company sets its sights on opening 300 branches. The company has 250 branches throughout Australia and New Zealand and lends money mainly to home buyers. Wizard hoped to boost the number of branches in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, its director of sales and distribution Chris Canty said. The franchise model was attractive because the customer had a direct contact with the franchise owner, Mr Canty said. He said the customer did not have to deal with a broker, and a franchise model would allow Wizard to grow its network by 15 per cent this year. Company founder and chairman Mark Bouris said a franchise system would build on past success and accelerate market growth under GE's ownership.--AAP

Australia's World Cup-winning cricket team returned home to a heroes welcome today following their victory in the Caribbean. The team touched down in Sydney this morning after an arduous eight-week tournament in which they won their third consecutive World Cup. They had breakfast with Prime Minister John Howard this morning at the Sydney Cricket Ground before heading to Martin Place where they were greeted by thousands of waiting fans. The crowd roared as captain Ricky Ponting raised the Cup, but the biggest cheers of the day were heard when retirees Glenn McGrath and coach John Buchanan took to the stage. For the last time as a player McGrath was greeted by cheers of "ooh, aah, Glenn McGrath" as he waved to the crowds. The fast bowler said he had no regrets about retiring and that he was lucky to have played with the best. --AAP
