Woodham, between September 1587 and March 1988. He is also charged with possessing a 38 calibre revolver -without a licence. Sergeant Smith said police had also charged him with possessing a spare .38 gun barrel without a licence. This charge followed a search of a wardrobe at Thurgar's home, which also turned up six rounds of ammunition, a cleaning rod and a holster. The court was told earlier this week that Tom Domican had allegedly put out a contract, on Mr Woodham because he was annoyed about constantly being moved from Long Bay to Mait-land jail after court appearances.

Mr Murphy told the court yesterday that Thurgar had not communicated with Domican during the past 1 2 months. The magistrate, Mr Max Coon, refused bail. By PAULENE TURNER Roy Thurgar's fingerprints had not been found on the revolver he was allegedly carrying -to murder a Corrective Services officer, Central Local Court was told yesterday. The police prosecutor, Sergeant Wayne Smith, said that although the fingerprint tests had proved negative, a bullet found suspended in the centre of a wreath sent to the officer had i been found to match the gun. Mr Christopher Murphy, for Thurgar, said he was not surprised the bullets matched, as the police had concocted the charge and "loaded" up his client.

"It is very easy to get bullets from a gun you are in possession of," Mr Murphy said. Roy Lawrence Thurgar, 46, of Hillsdale, is charged with conspiring and agreeing with others to murder a Corrective Services superintendent, Ronald George 'Horrific' picture withheld from jury A close-up colour photograph of the body of Megan Kalajzich will not be shown to the jury in the Kalajzich murder conspiracy case because it is "unduly In evidence yesterday, Detective Constable Andrew Jones, of the police crime scenes unit, tendered more than 100 colour and black and white photographs showing the murder scene and the inside and outside of the Kalajzich house in Fairlight Crescent, Fairlight. But Mr Chester Porter, QC, for the defendant, Andrew Kalajzich, objected to one photograph because it was "unduly horrific and added nothing to the Judge Victor Maxwell agreed, and directed that it not go to the jury: The jury saw photos taken of the inside of a Holden Commodore, showing damage to a door which, Constable Jones said, was consistent with the impact of two' .22 calibre bullets. The court had heard how Mrs Kala'jzich's confessed killer, Franciscus Vandenberg, had accidentally fired two bullets into the door of a hired car in his haste to dispose of the murder weapon. On trial are Andrew Kalajzich, 47, a wealthy businessman and former owner of the Manly Pacific International Hotel, and Kerry Neil Orrock, 37, a pen EXECUTIVE SEARCH SELECTION Kylie Minogue golden girl.

Jason Donovan a silver. LkX No. 822 smmm By ROBIN OLIVER The Neighbours actress Kylie Minogue emerged last night as the popular saviour of Australian television. The 19-year-old actress-cum-singer, who plays the mechanic Charlene in the well-rated soap opera, took out three awards in the Logie competition organised by the magazine TV Week. She won the Gold Logie for most popular television personality, the Silver Logie for the.

most popular Australian actress, and a third Logie, for the most popular Australian music video, for her version of the Little Eva song Locomotion. In addition, the Ten Network's Neighbours won the award for the most popular Australian drama series, and Jason Donovan, who plays Min-ogue's on-screen husband, won the Silver Logie for most popular male television personality. Logie presentation night, held at the Hyatt on Collins hotel in Melbourne, is an annual event that in television terms always appears to last forever, while at the same time generally neglecting to entertain the viewers. Last night was the 30th annual running of this sugary indulgence to the TV industry, when the host and joint rival for Miss Minogue's golden crown was Daryl Somers. By the end of a very long evening, others to have received popularity Logies were the programs 60 Minutes for public affairs; Vietnam for single drama or mini-series; the Nine Network's cricket for sports overage; Wombat for children's shows; Hey Hey It's Saturday for light entertainment; actor Alex Papps, best newcomer; and Nicholas Eadie, best actor, and mm a fj i in nan mi ml -rl Govt says fresh Senate election would cost $llm STATE Nicole Kidman, best actress, in a single drama or mini-series Vietnam In categories decided by a panel of experts, the winners were: John Wood, most outstanding actor; Catherine Wilkin, most outstanding actress; HSV-7 Melbourne for news; Four Corners for public affairs; Suzi's Story for single documentary or series; and NBN-3, Newcastle, for the most outstanding contribution by regional television.

Though these peer group choices can be faulted, there still remains the question of Australia's supposedly major television awards ceremony getting through the night without reference to such programs as Captain James Cook which, judged by its ratings returns, might even have been allowed a nomination in the single drama or mini-series category. It was not. The Four Comers award will be welcomed, ending a long run of outs for the ABC flagship program, though there was certain irony in the HSV-7 news award, for that program plum-metted to single-figure ratings following the short-lived takeover by the Fairfax group. But nowhere in this glitzy night was there any mention of programs that surely deserved some sense of even being in the running. Apart from Captain James Cook, the notable misses include The Harp in the South and its companion program Poor Man Orange, Nancy Wake and The Far Country.

In the end, it was gold for a girl who once upon a time would have been called a starlet, and an award for cricket coverage which, it should be recalled, insulted viewers by scrubbing the exciting end to the Australia versus England World Cup match from Calcutta in favour of some imported American gloss.

This could allow for the problem to be resolved under Section IS of the Constitution, which provides that such vacancies be filled by a replacement from the same party. The Senate referred several questions of law to the High Court to resolve the position regarding Senator Wood, who was not an Australian citizen when elected last July.

Under the law, a person must be an Australian citizen to qualify for election to Federal Parliament The High Court reserved its decision. CANBERRA: The Federal Government asked the High Court yesterday to consider the public interest factors involved if a new election for the Senate had to be held in NSW, which would cost more than $11 million. The Commonwealth Solicitor-General, Dr Gavan Griffith, QC, made this submission during the hearing of the case concerning the Nuclear Disarmament Party's Senator Robert Wood. Dr Griffith told the seven judges that a recount of the Senate poll of last July in NSW would cost more than $28,000. He said the Commonwealth submitted that the court should 3 conspiring with Warren Elkins, Vandenberg and George Canellis to murder Mrs Kalajzich between 1 January 1, 1984, and January 27, 1986, with attempted murder on January 11, 1986, and with murder on January 27, 1986.
