Nicole Snyder is running the She Rides program for women who want to cycle to improve their fitness and skills.

Opening the road for women cyclists mountain bikes. Life got in the way of my cycling hobby 10 years ago and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only recently returned to it,â&#x20AC;? Mornington Peninsula She Rides leader Nicole Snyder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to struggle to balance life, work and family with our leisurely pursuits, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to show women that it is possible to have it all. I hope to bring women the same joy I felt when I got back on a bike.â&#x20AC;?

A FUN activity called She Rides aims to help women on the Mornington Peninsula regain their cycling skills, improve their fitness and create a social network. She Rides was created after Cycling Australia found most women would ride more if they felt safer, more confident in their abilities and had an organised group to ride with. It is being offered for road and

119 Ocean Beach Rd. Upstairs (cnr. Darling Rd.)

The peninsula She Rides program is limited to nine participants and one leader. It has three tiers: For those looking to restart their riding after a long break; for those who have riding skills but are looking to ride for fitness and community reasons; and for those wanting a group riding experience to improve their fitness and riding skills.

VICTORIAN politicians are again playing political football with infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the abandoned East West Link but the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future port needs and the fate of Port Phillip. And the Liberal and Labor â&#x20AC;&#x153;playersâ&#x20AC;? in their nice new shiny jumpers with no actual mud on them have been joined by a ring-in from another team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; federal environment minister Greg Hunt, who is no doubt wearing his Team Australia jumper and knows the field of play quite well being a Victorian and living on the peninsula near Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast waterway. The past few weeks have seen claim and counter-claim about what will happen if the Andrews Labor government leases the Port of Melbourne to one of the big shipping companies for 70 years. It hopes to receive $7 billion, which it will use to remove 50 of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst level crossings over the next eight years as well as building Melbourne Metro, the West Gate Distributor and other transport projects not yet announced. No new container port The state Opposition claims the government will have to give the shipping company a monopoly to get the best price. This means no new container port at either Hastings or on the western shore of Port Phillip, the so-called

Bay West option proposed between Werribee and Geelong. The squabble over the two locations has been a long political football game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the early 2000s, the Labor government proposed expanding the Port of Hastings over 25 years in three stages. It spent a bucket of money on reports and consultants. But something was amiss as the Port of Hastings land use and transport strategy was completed in September 2006, but the government stalled its release until March 2007 and again until December. Labor government ports minister Tim Pallas finally found time to visit Hastings in August 2009 to explain the plan to stakeholders, but still nothing happened. Labor lost government to the Liberal-Nationals Coalition in 2010. The Coalition picked up the Hastings ball with ports minister Denis Napthine in mid-2013 committing $110 million over four years to do economic and scientific studies. Labor lost interest in Hastings and started promoting Bay West. Why did it spend all that money and time looking at expanding the Port of Hastings? The game entered the fourth quarter last year when the Coalition lost government after just four years in office. The Labor government cut the cash for Port of Hastings planning, devastating the expectations of many people. Continued Page 8

Sounds of youth for recital anniversary VISITORS to St John’s Anglican Church, Flinders, on Thursday were enthralled by the uplifting sounds of the National Youth Choir of Australia. They performed Johann Sebastian Bach’s double motet Singet dem Herm and Benjamin Britten’s Christmas theme and variations of A Boy Was Born. The special free holiday event marked the 10th anniversary of recitals at the church in King St. The choir assembles once a year in a capital city and this year it was Melbourne. One of its three performances was at Flinders. The choir auditions singers aged 18-26 each year and the 22 chosen are regarded as the cream of Australian talent. Picture: Yanni

Skylift gondola back to tribunal David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au OPPONENTS of the planned Arthurs Seat Skylift gondola plan a last-ditch appeal to the state planning tribunal to minimise the impact it will have on the precinct’s heritage landscape. They will ask the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to clarify when the project’s emergency management and bushfire plans must be released – before construction starts or before the ride begins operating. A second matter the opponents, members of Save Our Seat (SOS), will raise with VCAT is the gondola colour that shire councillors approved at their meeting on 22 June. SOS spokeswoman Alison Laird described the bright blue permitted for the gondolas as “completely inappropriate” and “a bizarre choice more suited to commercial signage”. SOS has been told it can take the matters back to VCAT for a further hearing. A further issue is the fate of trees growing in the 40-metre wide gondola

corridor. A VCAT condition requires Skylift to provide a plan showing trees along the route and “nominating whether each tree is to be retained, removed, lopped or pruned”. A shire planner conceded on 3 July that the council “had yet to be provided with a copy of this plan”, which will be taken to the council when received. Controversy over the corridor has flared again. Skylift initially said only 20 metres of the 40 metre width would be needed, but this changed when it was revealed underground facilities would need additional clearing. SOS said it was vital VCAT and the community were fully informed about the details before final approval was granted. The group said VCAT and the community should see the emergency management plan before construction starts, since the Skylift’s summit station would become a refuge not only for gondola patrons but also for tourists and residents in the event of bushfire. It has been estimated that a fire starting at the base of Arthurs Seat could

reach the summit in seven minutes or less – about the time Skylift told VCAT it would take to evacuate the 40 eightpassenger gondolas. The gondola colour was approved after a heated council debate on 22 June. Councillors were given sparse details of what colour Skylift proposed. Its details of colours and textures, included in an attachment to the shire meeting agenda, merely described the colour as “blue”. Skylift had originally sought to paint the gondolas bright red. Councillors voted on 22 April to change this to shades of green, grey or blue to complement the landscape. Some councillors apparently were unaware of the colour and textures details, with one asking planning officers, “What is the colour?” Councillors received no colour information other than small retouched photos of the gondolas, produced on a colour photocopier or available online. No other colour samples were produced. VCAT had stated in a permit condition that the colour must “complement the natural landscape to the satisfaction of the responsible authority” – that is,

the council. The vote was tied five-all, then approved on the casting vote of the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb. Cr Graham Pittock was absent. A state government report, Design Guidelines for Nature-based Tourism, deals with use of materials and colours in natural settings. They are “strong contributors to the sensory experience … [and should be chosen to] reflect the surrounding vegetation and geology,” it states. “Where imported or artificial materials ... are required, colours and tones that closely match those found in the landscape setting should be used. “The reflectivity, brightness and contrast of [such] materials with their surroundings should be minimised,” to reduce structures’ “visual impact and intrusion into the experience of place”. The colour shown in the council documents more closely resembles Process Cyan than Pantone Process Blue, which councillors were told during the 22 June meeting was the chosen gondola colour. The Pantone website contains 434 shades of “blue”, only two of which

were close to the colour shown on the gondola photos. Kylie Greer of SOS said: “We were shocked that councillors were not provided with crystal clear information about the gondola colour. It is appalling that a big project in such a prominent and sensitive heritage landscape could be approved despite an element as important as colour not being made clear to councillors.” Ms Laird said the description of the gondola colour as “blue” should have prompted shire planners to seek a more detailed colour description to put to councillors. “This could have been easily resolved before the meeting,” she said. “Councillors could then have been provided with proper samples of the colour they were being asked to approve.” The colour issue raises a further point, SOS says – whether the gondolas will carry advertising. The planners’ report to councillors stated that advertising on the gondolas’ bases, as shown on overseas examples, “is not being proposed”. Directly below this was an image of two gondolas with prominent advertising on the sides.

Horror deaths for hooked birds Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CORMORANTS are reported to have died in agony after baited fish hooks were purposely left on a small fishing jetty at Devilbend reserve. The hooks had apparently been tied to the jetty, ripping out the birds’ throats when they attempted to fly off. Rangers at the 1005 hectare natural features reserve have investigated the report and are closely monitoring the situation to make sure it does not happen again. At least one incident of cormorant baiting at the Devilbend has been reported to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). “Parks Victoria rangers have confirmed they visited the site to investigate the alleged incident, and have been undertaking regular monitoring,” DELWP acting program manager, resource protection and management Samantha Moore said. “The department is now liaising with Parks Victoria regarding the alleged behaviour.” Birdlife Mornington Peninsula president Max Burrows said deliberately baiting hooks to catch cormorants was “disgraceful, a despicable act”. Mr Burrows suspected the traps had been set by anglers upset at cormo-

rants “pinching their fish”. The 250 hectare body of water has been stocked with fish and anglers are encouraged to try their luck. “The problem is also that fishermen generally are untidy, leaving behind their hooks and lines, but this was a deliberate act. “Our committee was told that lines had been tied to the jetty, trying to snag cormorants.” M Burrows said Devilbend was an “important bird area”, providing a home for up to 150 blue-billed ducks, “one of our rarest birds”. He feared the ducks would be disturbed if kayaks were allowed onto the water at Devilbend. A regular visitor to Devilbend said hooking the cormorants was “just wanton cruelty”. “I’ve been hearing horrific stories from people who live locally about this wilful animal cruelty,” said the visitor who wished to remain anonymous. “Apparently someone is trying to catch and kill cormorants by baiting hooks on fishing line with shrimp and fish and leaving them on the small pier alongside the lake there. “When the birds fly off with the bait the hooks rip the birds’ throats and they die a terrible death.” Reports of wildlife cruelty or destruction can be reported to the DELWP on 136 186.

Safe for now: Cormoirants sitting on the railings of the fishing jetty at Devilbend reserve where baited hooks have been left for the birds to swallow and die an agonising death. Picture: Yanni

Final plover chick meets gruesome end Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE final two hooded plover chicks to hatch on the Mornington Peninsula in the 2014-15 breeding season died just days before they were able to fly. An autopsy done at Deakin University revealed one chick was killed by a dog and the second drowned, possibly frightened into the water when its mate was attacked. They were about five days away from fledging (being able to fly). They would have been the fifth and sixth birds to survive on the peninsula this year. The deaths devastated Friends of the Hooded Plover, who were confident the birds had a higher chance of survival by being born late in the season. Fewer people and dogs were using the beach, and Friends volunteers and Parks Victoria rangers could spend more time monitoring the pair as they

were the last to hatch. Friends president Diane Lewis said one report from a volunteer stated: “2 chicks are very fast and run a lot. Family is mainly foraging within and close to the fenced area.” She said there was “a lot of time invested in the last pair of chicks of the season”. “They were very active; they ran into hiding as soon as people came too near, and were a very good size for their age. It was heartbreaking to hear about their deaths.” The chicks were found by a Parks Victoria ranger at St Andrews Beach on Friday 6 March just metres apart. Ms Lewis said it was unusual to find dead chicks as predators move in fairly quickly. “There had been a very high tide the night before so it was thought the chicks had drowned as they were found close together on wet sand behind a permanent fence.”

Dr Grainne Maguire of BirdLife Australia sent the bodies to Deakin for analysis, which revealed one chick had “free blood within the thorax and haemorrhage within the lung tissue adjacent to the fractured ribs” and had died of crush wounds, likely caused by a dog. The second chick showed no signs of predation. Dr Maguire said the second chick may have “inadvertently flushed into the water and drowned when chick one was attacked but I have no way of confirming this”. She said the peninsula needed a minimum of 10 chicks a year “if the species is to survive here”. This had not happened since 2006-07. Fewer birds have survived in the past two seasons since Parks Victoria introduced stiffer dog walking restrictions in September 2013. In the 2000-01 breeding season, before dog restrictions, 18 chicks fledged.

In February, Nepean Liberal MP Martin Dixon called on the Labor state government to introduce a total ban on dogs in Mornington Peninsula National Park but environment minister Lisa Neville rejected the call and accused Mr Dixon of “waging war on dog walkers”. During the 2014-15 breeding season, plovers laid 150 eggs in 67 nests on peninsula beaches with 35 chicks hatching but only 4 surviving to flying stage at 5 weeks of age. Dr Maguire said the parents of the dead birds “had three nests this season, all in the same area behind permanent fences. After 4 weeks of incubating, every egg hatched but the pair lost all 9 chicks”. Ms Lewis said volunteers had reported “people watching the surf from the dunes, behind the permanent fencing, ignoring all signs to keep out. Dogs were also seen running in the dunes.

Permanent fences, signs, banners and ‘wardening’ by Parks Victoria could not save these chicks”. “What can we do to impress on people that keeping their dogs on leashes does matter?” Dr Maguire said “unfortunately it only takes a few irresponsible dog owners to do the damage. This is unfair on the birds, on the hundreds of volunteers and on all the responsible dog walkers who are making an effort”. BirdLife members monitored 156 pairs on Victorian surf beaches from the far west to south Gippsland this season. In total 67 birds fledged. The peninsula was the worst area in the state followed by south Gippsland with five chicks. Best results occurred in the far west region with 25 chicks surviving to fledge. Phillip Island had 12. All other zones had single figures. There are fewer than 600 hooded plovers left in Victoria.

Competitive insurance market yields savings THE shire saving almost $700,000 on its insurance for this financial year occurred due to a number of factors including a more competitive insurance sector. The News reported on 30 June that the savings came from putting its insurance out to tender rather than staying with MAV Insurance. The windfall was revealed when councillors approved the budget in late July and added 10 items totalling $600,000 after saving $690,230 on the estimated cost of insurance. The items included sealing a car park in Mornington, a contribution for an access road near Tyabb airfield, money for cliff stability at Safety Beach and cash for music, art, sport and a history project. But the saving was not all down to changing insurers. MAV president Cr Bill McArthur told The News the MAV Insurance quote provided to the shire for public liability and professional indemnity as well as fidelity insurance was “below $700,000, not $1.5 million”. “This means it was impossible for the council to save $700,000 by choosing another insurance provider over the MAV,” he said. (Fidelity insurance is taken out by an employer against losses incurred through dishonesty by employees.) The shire’s interim chief financial

officer Matthew Hubbard said the budget estimate of $1.5 million (which excluded workers compensation) had been prepared some months earlier “on the basis of conversations held with the shire’s insurance broker”. “The discussions included an assumption about continuing with the same levels of cover, consideration of the claims history over the preceding 12 months, the actual premiums paid for 2014-15 cover ($1.25 million) and expert opinion as to the likely percentage increases to be applied based on the broker’s projections about the market at the time,” he said. He said the classes of insurance considered included industrial special risks, public liability and professional indemnity, motor vehicles, councillors’ and officers’ liability, and corporate travel. “The shire had not received detailed quotations from the MAV or other providers at the time of exhibiting its draft budget. “Between the time of preparing and aggregating those estimates and the adoption of the final budget, a supplementary insurance adviser was appointed to assist with conducting a comprehensive risk review. “An open tender exercise (on behalf of the shire and a number of other councils) was undertaken, attracting bids from alternate underwriters.”

Mr Hubbard said that during this time “conditions in the insurance underwriting market changed with some softening observed as well as increased appetite, and hence competition, for the local government sector by underwriters”. “The combination of these factors contributed to the significant savings achieved compared to the estimates for insurance premiums included in the proposed budget exhibited in April-May.” The shire has appointed AON as its principal insurance adviser and has cover with CGU, Lloyds of London, Chubb, QBE, Vero and Allianz.

Jetty Rd lights THE shire has put out to tender the installation of traffic lights at the T-intersection of Jetty Rd and McDowell St near Rosebud Primary School, one block inland from Point Nepean Rd. The work is expected to be done by October at the latest. A shire spokesman said there had been three “serious” crashes at the intersection, and one “injury” crash between 2007 and 2011. The shire has $307,000 from the federal government’s black spot program for the project but this is not necessarily the final cost.

Police hope to bag robber Biker dismay: Motorcycle riders from around the state including Frankston and the peninsula joined a rally against â&#x20AC;&#x153;antiassociationâ&#x20AC;? laws outside Parliament in Melbourne. Picture supplied

Riders protest new anti-association laws MOTORCYCLISTS from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula joined about 300 riders outside Parliament House on Saturday last week to protest anti-association laws being introduced by state governments in Tasmania and South Australia. They follow the so-called Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment (VLAD) laws introduced in Queensland by the Newman government in 2013. Riders also protested in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra where they rode around Parliament House. Co-organiser Dale Maggs of the Freedom Rid-

ers Association, who is known to many people in the region through his former role organising Christmas toy runs, said riders would stand together to prevent any tougher legislation that targets them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police already have the laws they need to control criminals. Motorcyclists are being treated as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new terroristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by politicians and law enforcement agencies,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current laws are tough enough and already risk capturing people who are not gang members and who were not intended by the government to be captured by the laws.â&#x20AC;? Mr Maggs said due to the extreme lack of un-

SOLAR PACKAGES

derstanding at all levels of what constitutes a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bikieâ&#x20AC;? and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bikerâ&#x20AC;?, all riders were thrown into the one pot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten per cent of the voting population in Victoria holds motorcycle licences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately the fear mongering perpetrated by politicians and law enforcement agencies have the community as a whole wary or scared of anyone who chooses to wear leather and uses a motorcycle as their means of transport.â&#x20AC;? Mr Maggs said police were taking anti-bikie actions to extremes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been harassing riders who belong to social biker clubs.

THE crime may be old, but Frankston police hope public assistance will help them find a man who held up the Blairgowrie Pharmacy with a handgun at 9.05am on 5 May 2012. The thief, who escaped with cash and drugs, is described as being in his late 20s, Caucasian, 170-175cm tall and of medium build. He left behind a navy blue Chrome Tech tool carry bag. The bag has the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SAMUEL J II written inside. Anyone who can identify the owner of the bag or has information about the armed robbery should call Frankston Embona Taskforce on 9784 5590 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Divisive port plans Continued from Page 1 People saw an expanded port as the key to reviving a town doing it tough, especially after job losses and contraction at BlueScope Steel, the area’s only major industry. Environmentalists were overjoyed as an expanded port would have put at risk Western Port’s unique natural values. Blasting The Heads The Liberal-Nationals Opposition has gone in hard on the Labor government’s plan to lease the Port of Melbourne for 50 years (with the option of a further 20 years). Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and shadow treasurer Michael O’Brien have nails sticking out of their footy boots as they’ve tried to frightened Victorians about the government’s port lease plan. They have claimed the entrance to Port Phillip, The Heads, will have to be blasted to allow larger ships of the future to enter. Southern peninsula Liberal MP Martin Dixon had a crack in the goal square two weeks ago when he said widening and deepening The Heads would make the controversial 2008-09 dredging “pale into insignificance” and ensure “the destruction of Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park”. Greg Hunt got his hands on the ball in late June when he stood on an inner city beach with his state Liberal colleague Matthew Guy for a photo that went with a story in The Age in which Mr Hunt said he too was concerned about the environmental damage to Port Phillip that would be caused by “blasting” the entrance. (No appearance from either of these two gentlemen during the 2008-09 Channel

Deepening Project (CDP), by the way.) The blasting claim is a shocker, excuse the pun. The Heads have not been blasted since 1986. (It’s perhaps surprising that it occurred as recently as this, given that we’ve had some sensitivity toward the environment since at least the 1970s.) Work by the dredger the Queen of the Netherlands in 2008-09 in The Heads was done with the maritime equivalent of one of those tunnelling machines. Most of the rock was sucked up and deposited off Mt Martha. Blasting at The Heads started in 1883 when the pointy Lightning Rock, about seven metres below the waves, was felled. By 1900, the channel had been deepened to 10 metres. By 1924, various blasting episodes had deepened it to 13.1 metres. By 1986 it was 14 metres deep and no further work was done until 2008-09 when it was deepened to allow ships of 14 metres draught to enter. Blasting was vigorously discounted by the Port of Melbourne Corporation during the CDP environmental effects process before work started in 2008. It was old technology and not suitable for the vast amount that needed to be removed (about 550,000 cubic metres along about one kilometre of rocky channel edge). In 2003 the corporation stated that dredging at The Heads was going to be extensive because they knew they only had one bite of the cherry and would never be able to do any more. The entrance to Port Phillip is 3.4 kilometres wide but the Great Ship Channel is just 245 metres. Either side of it is Lonsdale Rock on the western

side and Corsair Rock on the eastern, Mornington Peninsula side. So blasting is a myth and won’t occur. Super-sized ships There has also been vigorous argument about the size of ships that could enter Port Phillip in the future. This is not only connected to the claimed need to deepen The Heads as well as the shipping channels to the docks but also how long the port will remain viable. The Opposition claims larger ships will need to access the port but this is not clear. Some shipping and logistics specialists state the Port of Melbourne (or a second container port) will never need to accommodate the so-called megaships of now and the future. Victoria and Australia generally will continue to be served by ships carrying 3000 to 7000 containers (twenty-foot equivalent units, or TEUs) well into the future. The largest vessel visiting Australian ports is the so-called Post Panamax Plus, which carries 6000-8000 TEUs and has a draught of 14.5 metres. Maersk’s Triple E Class launched last year holds 18,000 TEUs and draws only 14.5 metres, although it is 400 metres long and 59 metres wide and could not enter The Heads or berth safely at the Port of Melbourne. Dr Hermione Parsons of Victoria University’s Institute for Supply Chain and Logistics says megaships will never visit Victorian ports as our market is too small. She said they travel between Shanghai, Rotterdam, Los Angeles and other major trading ports that service large populations. “To say those ships

Boxes galore: Hyundai Oakland, the longest container vessel to enter Port Phillip, visited in May 2014. The ship is 71,783 gross tonnage, 293 metres long, 40 metres wide and can carry 6350 TEUs. Ships of 40 metres wide have visited but they were 260 metres long. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon, aquamanships.com

will visit Melbourne is like saying a rocket to the moon will take a detour via Tasmania,” Dr Parsons told The Age. How many containers Politicians have also been scrapping over the “container numbers” ball. It has been reported the Napthine Coalition government used the assumption that the Port of Melbourne cannot move more than 5.3 million shipping containers a year to justify the development of Hastings. But when the Port of Melbourne Corporation was justifying its $717 million dredging project, it stated the port would be handling 8 million TEUs a year by 2030. The entire economic case for channel deepening and its environmental risk assessment was built on the projection. The Port of Melbourne will reach capacity by 2035 if the 5.3 million figure is used. Another consultant stated capacity would not be reached until about 2055, based on the 8 million figure. This is very much a case of hiring a consultant to get the answer you want. How not to say something Overtime in this game of political

football occurred last Thursday when the Andrews Labor government attempted to shirtfront the Opposition and the Greens after they blocked the Port of Melbourne Lease Transaction Bill 2015 in the upper house. “Don’t stand in the way” warned Acting Premier James Merlino when he visited a level crossing in the eastern suburbs to launch a new “community campaign”. In a media statement, he said the campaign would “allow anyone who is passionate about reducing road congestion, running more trains or saving Victorian lives to send a message to Victorian Liberal and Greens MPs to support the Labor government’s plan to get rid of these dangerous, deadly level crossings”. “Last month, Coalition and Greens MPs teamed up in Parliament to oppose the removal of these crossings,” he stated. How’s that? Oh, opposing the port lease is opposing the removal of crossings. On and on it went for more than 300 words but not one word about the port lease. It’s a funny old game, politics.

Frankston lobbies against port plans Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON Council says its call for a container port at Hastings is based on economic benefits and concern for the environment. The mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said on Friday that the state governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;commendableâ&#x20AC;? plan to remove rail level crossings â&#x20AC;&#x153;should not come at the expense of the south east and in particular Frankston Cityâ&#x20AC;?. Before the November 2014 state election Frankston was touting itself as the logical commercial hub for an expanded port at Hastings. But those dreams have faded with the Labor government planning to lease the Port of Melbourne along with a promise of no new competitive port for 50 years. Infrastructure Victoria will investigate whether a container port is eventually best built at Bay West, in north of Geelong in Port Phillip or Hastings. In the lead-up to the 2014 election Labor favoured Bay West. Cr Mayer said Frankston Council had written to all members of the Legislative Council urging them to block the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill for a longterm lease of the Port of Melbourne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A long-term lease will effectively kill off the Port of Hastings expansion for the foreseeable future, and that means killing off a major employment boost in our region,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, if the Port of Melbourne remains our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only major port, further destructive dredging will be necessary at the Port Phillip Heads to cater for larger container ships, potentially having a serious impact on the Mornington

Peninsula tourism industry.â&#x20AC;? State and federal Liberal MPs have claimed the seabed at the Heads will need to be blasted to provide sufficient depth for larger ships. However, logistics experts from Victoria University who say the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest ships will never come to Melbourne. Cr Mayer also makes no mention of the estimated 24 million cubic metres of dredging required in Western Port for a container port at Hastings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the Mornington Peninsula region was recently voted one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 20 destinations by National Geographic, anything that jeopardises our local environment would be grossly irresponsible,â&#x20AC;? Cr Mayer said. Following in the wake of the scaling down of the Port of Hastings Development Authority Cr Mayer said her council wants a resumption of the studies into the Port of Hastings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś If blocking the legislation in the upper house is the best way of doing so then council supports this move,â&#x20AC;? Cr Mayer said.

Under the hammer: This Moorooduc property took top spot at the weekend sales.

Knocked down for top sales spot A HOBBY farm at Moorooduc topped Melbourne’s auction sales on Saturday 4 July when it was knocked down for $3.352 million. The single level 40 square home on 28 hectares at 675 Moorooduc Hwy was sold by Mornington and Mt Eliza agents McEwing Partners. It was described as “providing the most sublime rural lifestyle close to suburbia. A muchloved, impeccably-maintained property, the perfect opportunity to begin a new tree-change lifestyle within minutes of the skate park, football club, Peninsula Link, Mt Eliza village and

prestigious schools”. The property was among 864 auctions reported to the REIV for that weekend. Online property portal Property Observer reported the auction clearance rate of 76 per cent was down on the 79 per cent success rate on the last weekend in June, and less than the 77 per cent the weekend before. It was 73 per cent this weekend one year ago. At the other end of the scale, a property at 10 Plantation Av, Frankston North, sold through Harcourts-Frankston for $270,000.

Hard road to sanctuary STORIES of refugee courage and perseverance are often downplayed in the current political climate. Too often refugees and asylum seekers are dubbed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;queue jumpersâ&#x20AC;? or brazen economic refugees simply looking for the best place to stash their cash. But cases of real hardship and persecution are not hard to find. Abdi Adenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world fell apart when, at 13, Somaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicious civil war hit Mogadishu. Separated from his family and effectively an orphan, he survived daily violence, death squads and starvation. Bravely, he set off in a group for Kenya but, of the 300 who left with him, only five reached their goal after a four-month trek. Abdi then managed to travel to Romania and Germany and, finally, aged 15, to Australia. He

had no English, no family or friends, no money and no home. Yet, he went on to complete postgraduate qualifications in adolescent mental health and was acknowledged with the 2007 Victorian Refugee Recognition Award. Abdi also featured in the SBS second series of Go Back to Where You Came From. Abdi will talk about his amazing story of survival and discuss the horrors he faced in Somalia on Sunday 26 July, at Studio@PCT, Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rd, Mornington. Live music from 2pm will be a prelude to the talk at 2.30pm. The cost is $10. A Somali afternoon tea will be served.

LETTERS Spinning the port The political rhetoric and spin associated with the demand for and location of an additional container port for Victoria has recently intensified. While rhetoric and spin has always played a large part of the Liberal Party policy of supporting a container port at Hastings it is now intensifying at a great pace. The Bill recently introduced into state parliament for the leasing of the Port of Melbourne has reactivated old and introduced new rhetoric and spin to support the Hastings container port policy. With no business case for their proposed container port at Hastings the former Napthine government sought to fast track the construction by signing an agreement to pass federal environmental assessments from the federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt to the former Victorian planning minister. Liberal Party MP for Nepean Martin Dixon has been reported as saying: “Rejecting expansion of the Port of Hastings would cost 15,000 jobs over the next decade. I have the fourth-poorest electorate in the state; my electorate has the fourth-lowest income in the state. The people in my community need jobs; they need careers.” How 15,000 jobs would purportedly be created by a container port at Hastings is far from clear. A new container port would be highly automated and it is unlikely that experienced automated container port operators are currently unemployed and living in the region. During the construction phase there would be additional work, however, are local firms likely to win those contracts and do local people have the skills required for those jobs? What is real is tourism contributing $653 million to the Phillip Island economy in 2012-13 representing, 37.9 per cent of gross regional product, employing 5700 people and providing 38.2 per cent of regional employment. Recreational boating adds a further estimated $500m a year to the Western Port economy and helps support many businesses around Western Port. A cafe in Balnarring relies on tourism as much as its counterpart in Cowes and while no figures are available for the western side of Western Port, real tourism and fishing jobs from Hastings down to Flinders are significant contributors to these towns’ economies The former Napthine government constantly claimed that Hastings is a “natural deep water port”. It is not. It has been previously dredged and has maintained approach channels. Victoria University’s Institute for Supply Chain and Logistics estimated dredging for the Port of Hastings would remove approximately six million cubic metres of spoil in the approach channels and 18 million cubic meters for a berthing pocket, bringing the total to about 24 million cubic meters excluding the dredging required for the anchorage area off the north shore of Phillip Island. At low tide Western Port has 25 per cent of the water surface area of Port Phillip and most of what is left is only 5-10 metres deep. Yet Liberal spin claims Hastings would be built to accommodate the same 3000 ships a year currently traversing Port Phillip, in 75 per cent less water. On the subject of dredging, the Liberal Opposition needs to explain why it’s not OK to dredge anywhere in Port Phillip but, if their plans to build Hastings ever came to fruition, it is OK to dredge 24 million cubic metres out of Western Port.

Hundreds of people who know and love the bay have derided the Liberal “Hastings is a natural deep water port” mantra and the impact on the Ramsar protected coastline in such a tidal bay as Western Port would be devastating, both for the environment and tourism and fishingbased economies around the bay. A recently report by the South East Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA) , a cluster of local councils around Western Port and commissioned by the then Napthine government, has highlighted the fact that with existing coastal erosion and climate change induced storm surges areas around Western Port are in enough trouble already, without a massive container port making it even worse. I look forward to local Mr Hunt living up to his 2013 pre-election promises to “protect the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island from inappropriate development”. The same document states “we live in a wonderful part of the world and I am passionate about protecting it”. I have written to Mr Hunt asking him to define these phrases in terms of the Hastings port expansion, but his only response was to call for an updated and (famous) Shapiro report on Western Port. If such an important document as the SECCCA report is circulating in his electorate, we look forward to his comparison of these two documents and, after he has read the SECCCA report, his views on where a five kilometre long and 500 metre wide container port wharf, with its incumbent 24 million cubic metres of dredging, sits in his spectrum of “inappropriate development”. Given his backing of the current state Opposition’s stance on rejecting the port sale legislation, plus his handing over of his environmental powers to the then Napthine government and the Victorian Liberals setting up a “Save the Bay” website, I leave Flinders electors to form their own opinions on where Mr Hunt’s priorities lie. Kevin Chambers, The Gurdies

Point disappointment It is disappointing that the Point Leisure Group's concept project for Point Nepean will not now proceed and, as indicated in media reports, with it goes the opportunity for the youth of the southern Mornington Peninsula to obtain meaningful local employment (“Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan”, The News 7/7/15). The Point Leisure Group participated in an open tender process, with its proposed project assessed by the state-government appointed evaluation panel as meeting/exceeding the evaluation criteria. If it is now considered by some that the Point Leisure Group's project was "too big and inappropriate for the site", one can only hazard a guess as to how "bigger and more inappropriate" or non-conforming the unsuccessful proposals were. From the well patronised local community meetings that I attended in regard to the project, continued public access to the non-commercial areas of the national park was never at risk, which clearly is in contrast with the comments attributed to the director of the Victorian National Parks Association. Perhaps the only real difference between Parks Victoria and the Point Leisure Group assuming management is that responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the national park would have seen the Point Leisure Group paying

the $1m (approx) annual maintenance cost for the next 50 or so years, rather than amount coming from the state (public) purse through Parks Victoria. Intriguingly, Kate Baillieu is quoted by The News as saying she has expectations that the state government will, in respect of the 2010 master plan, "make it available for the public to see what had been agreed on and, basically, get on with it". Does Ms Baillieu really think that the current state government - or any government for that matter - will allocate any funds to undertake restorative works at Point Nepean? With so much current demand upon the state's finances, only the private sector will undertake restorative work at Point Nepean during our lifetimes and, to achieve that, the scale, scope and viability of its underlying project will need to be of sufficient dimension so as the restoration costs invested can be recouped through its business model. Perhaps following another protracted tender process, the Point Leisure Group's proposal could well be subsequently proven as being a very good solution for the national park but, I suspect we, the community, will never, ever know. Peter T Curtin, Sorrento

Happy with loss I for one am very glad that the planned multimillion dollar inappropriate development of Point Nepean is not to go ahead (“Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan”, The News 7/7/15). It was always going to be about the “jet setting polo set” and never for the likes of you and me. The million dollars compensation that we, as Victorians, have to pay is once again an example of arrogance by the then Liberal government which has still not apologised to the people of Victoria for the $400 million compensation debt it placed around our necks for the East West tunnel debacle. Incidentally, the site of the photo [of Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Nepean MP Martin Dixon] if my memory serves me right, used to be a toilet. Some would say not a very appropriate place for pollies to have photo taken. Others would differ. John Cain, McCrae

Limit watch Wait a minute, we have been led to believe that the number of confusing speed limits will be reduced throughout. Now Somerville has four different speed limits on Eramosa Rd East within just one kilometre. Roll up and pay your speed fines folks. Meanwhile try not to hit anything while you're watching your speedo instead of the road. Aussie Sadler, Mornington

Labor to blame Rupert Steiner gives far too much praise to the Abbott government, crediting it with, in less than two years, wrecking the manufacturing economy and now going after the education system (“Dumbing down”, Letters, The News 30/6/15). I suggest he casts his net a little wider, say, several years before the present government to the Rudd/Gillard years. He will discover that neither manufacturing nor education were enhanced at all, but we were left with huge debts and deficits that will have to be repaid by our children and grandchildren, in

the form of increased taxes and reduced government services. Michael Long, Frankston

Fear for freedom Ever louder and shrill are the attacks on our freedoms by a federal government run out of ideas. I heartily agree with almost all Andrew Dixon had to say about the hypocritical attacks on our poor ABC (“Free speech and talking about terrorism”, The News 30/6/15). It is embarrassing to hear even [Communications Minister] Malcolm Turnbull jump on the bandwagon of the Abbott government’s attempt to brainwash the population into a quivering and afraid mass that will let them take ever more of their freedoms away. I would be much more interested in finding out what the government is planning post-car manufacturing for the masses of unemployed this will add to our society. Or will the government finally do something meaningful in regards to climate change, which will not condemn the next generations to a very bleak future. These are much greater dangers to the cohesion of our society than the terrorism threat from any deluded Muslims or white supremacists. Or is the vilification of any remnant of free press and comment a prelude to the logical next step in turning Australia into a dictatorship of the haves? The Labor opposition seems to be too meek and ineffective to stand up to the constant attacks on our freedoms. Coming back to the quite pertinent questions Zaky Mallah put [on the ABC’s Q&A program], is this fearmongering and the persecution of minorities in our society actually making it safer? The answer by a Liberal hack was, basically, if you don’t agree with what the Abbott government is doing, they just have to take your citizenship away and deport you. I fear for our freedom and so should all thinking Australians. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Towers over holes The only conclusion I can draw from the announcement by our Minister for the Environment [and Liberal MP for Flinders, Greg Hunt] that a wind farm commissioner will be appointed to look into the effects of the wind turbines on human health is that our winds or turbines must be different. There are thousands of wind farms overseas. Many inquiries have been held and there is no evidence that they affect human health. Is it possible our government is finding every obstacle to the production of renewable energy because they want to sell dirty black coal? The prime minister [Tony Abbott] does not like wind towers. Clearly he prefers the stacks and smoke from coal burning generators. Or his latest idea of producing wood chips to burn instead. This is not clean renewable energy and also produces CO2 and particle pollution. Unfortunately, investment in renewable energy, because of the above, has dropped by almost 90 per cent from 2014. I found a photograph of a 20 mile line of solar panels, three abreast, providing shelter for cyclists and renewable energy for South Koreans. A carefully designed project. Wake up Australia.

Invited artists put works on show MT MARTHA artist Bill Caldwell has seven works in this year’s Twenty Melbourne Painters Society’s exhibition. The society – membership by invitation only has held an exhibition each year since 1918. This will be the 13th year in a row that Caldwell has entered works in the exhibition. His entries - six oils and one pastel - range from a portrait of former Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Antonella Celi, which he entered in last year’s Archibald prize, to a seascape looking from McCrae towards Mt Martha and a still life pastel. Caldwell, above, is pictured with Sign of the Times which depicts a 100-year-old building at

Maldon, near Castlemaine in central Victoria. “I had it in mind [to do] for many years and, in fact, did a small version years and years ago,” he said. Caldwell, a member of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society for 13 years, says other members have been there up to 30 years. “Members seek to uphold the highest standards of traditional art and their exhibition continues to attract several thousand visitors each year,” he said. This year’s exhibition runs Tuesday 14 JulySunday 2 August at the Glen Eira City Gallery, Glen Eira Rd, Caulfield. Details: www.jennypihanfineart.com.au

WHAT’S NEW...

Agribusiness is all the buzz THE 11th Victorian Agribusiness Summit will be held at “Lindenderry at Red Hill”, Mornington Peninsula on July 30 and 31. The Victorian Agribusiness Council with generous partnership support from the Mornington Peninsula Shire, regional and local agribusinesses and the ANZ will deliver a not to miss programme. The event commences with “Mornington on Your Plate”, a dinner to celebrate local and regional food and agribusiness. An action packed evening to rival the talents and glitz of “Master Chef” will be presented. Local identity, Tim Hollands will entertain guests with creations by Lindenderry’s World Award Winning Executive Chef, Michael Greenlaw, veteran of Vue De Monde and Atlantis The Palm, Dubai. Local delights such as Hillock Downs succulent beef, and sour cherries will be on the menu. The Summit theme, “Agribusiness and Investment – the Dining Boom Summit”, will be opened by the Hon Jaala Pulford, Minister for Agriculture and Regional Development. The program will deliver a challenging array of speakers including Campbell Jeffrey, an Agribusiness expert operating in China for over 30 years, Steve Marshall, a co-owner of Peninsula Avocados - which processes and markets avocados and Mike Farnill, Sunnyridge Strawberry Farm which has experienced substantial 5 year growth. The event will put Mornington Peninsula agribusiness on the map. The contribution of the agribusiness sector to the local economy is substantial, yet understated. Located close to Melbourne the region is highly productive and delivers a diverse array of food. The sector is the largest employer in the region. Interaction with local growers, distributers and organisations is central to the sustainable economic growth of the sector and spin off effects for other industries such as tourism. Gillian Stewart, will highlight the importance of the agribusiness sector to the area and the opportunities presented being in close geographical location to Melbourne. Bookings can be made at: www.trybooking.com/132011. Places are limited.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston state school tidied up Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an extensive clearing sale of farm implements, machinery, live stock, vehicles, and household furniture, on Wednesday, July 28th, on account of Mr G. W. Booth, (who has leased his farm), of Cricklewood, Frankston. Full particulars are advertised in this issue. *** CAPTAIN Sherlock has received word by the last mail, from his son Robert, that he has joined the 226th Company of Royal Engineers, Chatham, and is by this time at the front. *** ON Wednesday, 24th Messrs Brody and Mason will sell, at their rooms, Bay street Frankston, live stock &c in the estate of Henry Maudesley deceased, under instructions from the Curator of estates of deceased persons, vide advertisement appearing in another column. *** WE regret to have to announce the death of Captain Panter, R.N. at his residence “ Voongan” Toorak Road, Malvern. The deceased gentleman had for upwards of 25 years resided at “Jerula” but of late spent his winter in Malvern. As Captain of the Royal Navy he brought out the Cerberus to Australia. Among other public positions he held was that of one of the expert assessors to the Marine Court of Victoria. For some time he was a member of the Council for the North Riding of the

Shire of Frankston and Hastings. He leaves a wife and seven daughters to mourn their loss. *** LAST week we published a report of a very successful meeting at Frankston, conducted by the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Recruiting Committee at which Sir John Madden and Sir William Irvine delivered addresses. We have received reports from Somerville and Hastings of meetings subsequently held in these places under the auspices of the same Committee, details of which appear in another column. The President of the Shire (Cr W. J. Oates) and the Hon Sec (Dr Plowman) are to be congratulated on the success which has accompanied their efforts. *** WE call the attention of our readers to a preliminary advertisement in another column which announces that under the auspices of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Recruiting Committee, Major T. S. Marshall, Chief of the Country Fire Brigades, will deliver a lecture on The War, at Frankston, on Monday, July 26th. The lecture will be copiously illustrated, and is one of great interest. Full particulars will be given in our next issue, *** NOWHERE around Langwarrin has there been such steady progress during the past few years than along the main artery which connects Cranbourne with Frankston. Land has been selected, fenced and cleaned, small,

suitable spots converted into garden and orchards. Young men of the type of Messrs Cain (2) Holy, and Stephenson, have settled to the work like veterans, and deserve warm praise for their success in subduing the forest. The older settlers are putting up more substantial buildings, and some of the property is now worth double it was five years ago. The bad season we have passed through has only stimulated the old residents with new energy, and more cultivation plots are now seen. Passing along into Cranbourne the country looks beautiful and green, the crops being very robust, of good color and grass starting with growth. Thanks to the efforts of the Cranbourne Shire Councillors, the road is now much improved, and the residents bear grateful testimony to the Councillors for their efforts. *** THE boys of the Frankston State School, under the direction of Mr Richardson, have done some useful work tidying up part of the reserve where the big fire did so much damage a few weeks ago. The Government has sent a parcel of trees and shrubs for planting, and the secretary of the Progress Association, Mr W. Gregory, is arranging for a bee for planting these. We understand that it is the intention to have some planted in the above-named reserve and some in the reserve opposite the Post Office. *** AT the Somerville market, last Wednesday, conducted by Messrs

Brody and Mason, Mr Henry Hawken brought a pair of fowls, which he handed to the auctioneer, to be disposed of in aid of the Red Cross Fund. After a preliminary “raffle” the birds were handed back for sale, these passed through fifteen patriotic gentlemen who in turn handed them back. As a result the firm were enabled to hand a cheque to the Treasurer (Mrs G. E. Shepherd), at Somerville, for £4 3s. At the termination of the transaction, three lusty cheers were given for Mr Hawken. *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co. and Messrs Powers, Rutherford and Co. in conjunction, will hold a large clearing sale at “Belawa,” Mornington Road, on the 23rd July next, full particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns. *** A PUBLIC meeting will he held on Monday, 19th July, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, by the Women’s Christian Union and the Rechabite Lodge in conjunction, for the purpose of passing resolutions on the early closing question.

Two on the move to beat arthritis By Ian Munro* AS he pedals out of Dimboola with three days’ cycling from Melbourne behind him, Stan Proctor will be just beginning to enjoy himself, which is just as well because his destination will be Darwin. His experience of long distance riding tells him that by the fourth day he will be riding for the pleasure of it. “It’s pretty tough for the first three days regardless of the preparation you do,” says Proctor, who has previously ridden from Melbourne to Sydney, and on 27 September will set out to ride to Darwin. “For the first three days your body is asking ‘why are you doing this?’ By the sixth day, when we got to Sydney, I could have kept on going at 150 kilometres a day, which is what we are going to do on the Darwin ride.” The first answer to the “why” of it is that, for Proctor, of Mornington, the 3750 kilometre ride over 30 days is “kind of like my Everest. I am closing on 65 so there’s not going to be too many more years I can take on a challenge like that”. But the bigger reason is that he is doing it to support his riding mate, fellow Mornington resident Mike McKenzie and his son Bradley, who have both been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory form of arthritis that attacks the joints of the spine. Riding to raise awareness about arthritis and funds for arthritis research projects will likely help to sustain them on the ride, says Proctor, a 47year RACV member.

Darwin bound: Stan Proctor and Mike McKenzie are riding their bikes to Darwin to raise awareness and money for arthritis research. Picture: Meredith O’Shea

Bradley McKenzie was 28 when he was diagnosed with spondylitis, and since then his father Mike has been diagnosed with the same form of arthritis at age 64. Proctor also knows the pain of arthritis. A veteran of the squash court, he has it worst of all in his right wrist, but also in his hips and shoulders. “It’s been a learning exercise for me. I had not realised arthritis affects

people right across every age range. It can be people as young as Bradley, and younger still, that suffer.” The fundamental message that Proctor and McKenzie want to demonstrate is that once you have arthritis it is important to maintain as much movement as possible. As a result, their theme, supported by Arthritis Victoria, is the “make a move ride”. “However much you are able

to move is going to be beneficial. Sometimes it’s really hard to start your joints moving. After a lay-off they can be very hard to start, but as much mild exercise that you can fit into your life is going to be hugely beneficial.” The two riders intend to use every seventh day as a rest day and, like footballers, will be seeking out cold water pools to revive their muscles

after each day’s riding at an average speed of around 26kkph. All going to plan, Proctor and McKenzie will be in Darwin on 25 October. For more about the ride visit makeamoveride.org.au. *First published in the July 2015 RoyalAuto, the RACV's member magazine.

ARE you one of the many people who suffer arthritis in your feet, knee’s or hips? Arthritis can occur at any age, and literally means “pain within a joint.” As a result, arthritis is a term used broadly to refer to a number of different conditions. There are three types of arthritis that may affect your foot, ankle and knee. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative or “wear and tear” arthritis, is a common problem for many people after they reach middle age. Over the years, the smooth, gliding surface covering the ends of bones (cartilage) becomes worn and frayed. This results in inflammation, swelling, and pain in the joint. Osteoarthritis progresses slowly and the pain and stiffness it causes worsens over time. Rheumatoid Arthritis Unlike osteoarthritis, which follows a predictable pattern in certain joints, rheumatoid arthritis is a system-wide disease. It is an inflammatory disease where the patient’s own immune system attacks and destroys cartilage. Post-Traumatic Arthritis Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after an injury. This type of arthritis is similar to osteoarthritis and may develop years after a fracture, severe sprain, or ligament injury. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to assist with pain and maintain mobility so you can stay active and live a fulfilling life, reducing the need for ongoing medications or surgery. It’s important to seek help early so that treatment can begin as soon as possible but also important is getting a correct diagnosis and

addressing aggravating factors so the most appropriate treatment can be provided. The good news is expert help is just around the corner. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal Podiatry practices specifically focuses on assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues, including arthritis. With enormous success assisting many living on the peninsula, for over 7 years, they utilize the very latest medical science and treatments to help patients avoid surgery and get active again.

A Grain of Salt Same-sex marriage, the big question? I’ve worked with many homosexual people as an actor over the years but other than their talent their sexual preferences were insignificant. I attended one marriage ceremony and yes, I wondered why, but only a passing thought. I married after a 5-year relationship and while there was a sexual element there was also a strong ignorant desire for children. Some heterosexual couples did not have this “family” preference, a question of choice, or personal drive. In my time (specifically the 1950s) there was very little deep thought. You met a female, you liked her; more importantly she adored you, so married, led there in retrospect by society’s unwritten laws, but happy enough. It’s surely at least arguable whether or not a married heterosexual couple are better qualified to raise children; apparently most are, but many are not? The lottery of life. Aristotle said we should approach our wives gravely and wisely for fear lest we unhinge our reason by arousing them too lasciviously, the short term danger of voluptuous and unremitting pleasure. (Short-term being around two years, but again, variable?) Socrates, in answer to whether it was appropriate to take a wife, answered “whichever you do, you will be sorry”. Strange response. As always however, the genital activities of men and women, although necessary and part of the mind’s everyday activities of the vast majority, are in fact classified as unmentionables. Thus, I apply my “living next door to me” principle. No problem, therefore, let them marry; vote yes. There’s a car park next door to me.

*** Would that I could enjoy bowls or woodwork, fishing, gardening, long walks, bird watching, anything to escape those winds and bucketing rain; the inevitability of a power blackout. I have a bad back and I cannot blame Cupid; he deserted me long ago. My body has assumed control. I listen; I have no choice. I’m in constant argument on smoking but losing there too. Beer or coffee without a cigarette is Un-Australian; my necessity for cheerfulness being challenged. Fear of the “grim face” attitude, feeding on misfortune, increased levels of self-pity. The ever present fight for the necessary attitude of positivity. ”The value of life lies not in the length of days, but the use we make of them” [Michel Montaigne]. Well said Michel, but you didn’t experience July here, or Tony Abbott’s crusade of fear, or the real mafia (electricity, gas and water retailers) or the panic attack of another Hawthorn premiership. *** I shake my head in disbelief. I shouldn’t, but again I fall for the trap, temporarily forgetting the historical stupidity of governments. No smoking in prisons after months in the planning process; what on earth did they talk about? It beggars belief they didn’t anticipate the riot. “Shocking and disgraceful” said Danny Andrews, vowing to uncover the reasons for the unrest, with a report due in November? Email me Danny and I’ll tell you in one sitting; you pay for petrol. Save a fortune on meetings. *** Two friends were adamant after the ABC‘s Q&A Zaky Mallah episode

“Chuck him out of the country” etc. All I saw were similar words from little known Liberal politician Steven Ciobo and Mallah responding followed by the furore and Tony’s perfect opportunity to further his political scare campaign including his wish to have our ABC be an extension of News Limited. I’m reminded of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act dealing with harmful speech on the grounds it burdened freedom of expression, Attorney-General Uncle George Brandis arguing in support of his attempted amendments to the Racial Discrimination Act: “Everyone is entitled to be a bigot”. Clearly we can say what we like, but not anything Tony doesn’t like? Fear of terror, wind farms, unions and the ABC. How about fear of Alan Jones? Forget this early election nonsense and the likelihood of an ABC comedy titled At Home with Tony. *** Our wonderful Government is sniffing at the heels of independent union representatives on industry superannuation funds suggesting they be replaced by financial experts? Janet Albrechtsen? Union funds are outperforming commercial funds. Yes, certain to be shonkies hidden among the union funds bosses, but anything run by financial experts (is there such an animal?) will be a step to the detriment. Beware. *** Some things bear repeating: How to close down a democracy (Naomi Wolf, The Guardian).. “invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy, create a gulag, employ security contractors, set up a surveillance system, harass citizen groups, in-

By Cliff Ellen troduce arbitrary detention, control the media and believe that dissent equals treason”. The good news? Like Keating, Howard, Rudd and Gillard, Tony’s day will come. Sooner rather than later, please. *** Cato the Younger (long before Shakespeare’s birth) “we can judge a man’s character much better from his conversation than his physiognomy”...Former union leader Kathy Jackson has become an undischarged bankrupt?...$300 billion euros debt; sell Mykonos?..Maybe a Royal Commission on “right of way” assumptions by females with

trolleys at Woolworths?...I’m a patient man - sooner or later our PM will explain his contention his Liberal Party are best at managing the economy...They play a hard game at Direct Endoscopy Frankston. A request for a second two biscuit pack was met with “only one per person”...I often wonder what a “mature” discussion is... “The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear” [2 Timothy 4:3]. ...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond. com

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

International economics explained: Greece is the word By Stuart McCullough SPARE a thought for Greece. Sadly, it seems there’s a very real chance they may soon be tapped on the shoulder and politely asked to gather their things before exiting the Eurozone. It prompts the question, where are they supposed to go? There are plenty of zones out there, not all of them suitable for a sovereign nation. It’ll be no good if, after leaving the Eurozone, Greece enters the Twilight Zone. Worse still would be if they got stuck with professional beardo Kenny Loggins on his ‘Highway to the Dangerzone’. That’s about as appealing as the thought of a jump-suited Maverick man-spreading in the cockpit of an Air Force fighter jet, mumbling under his breath about ‘the need for speed’. Thanks but no thanks. There’s a real risk that Greece could end up in the friend-zone which, as we all know only too well, sucks immensely. But, unbelievably, it could be worse. If Greece is super unlucky, they could end up in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Talk about awkward! You couldn’t so much as take out the bins without nosey-parker neighbours on both sides wondering what you were up to. Or maybe its luck will turn and Greece will leave the Eurozone, with its weird currency and fondness for shoes without socks, and end up in the erogenous zone instead. We can only hope. No matter which way you look at it, being thrown out of your economic region is a pretty spectacular kick in the financial pants. Things may be in a mess, economically speaking, but before anyone gets too carried away,

everyone should pause, take a deep breath and get a little perspective. Greece has done a lot for which we should all be grateful. I’m not talking about souvlaki, Nana Mouskouri or Greek mythology, even though each of those things is undeniably fantastic. Rather, I’m talking about democracy,

the best idea for government that anyone’s ever had. In a fairer world, Greece would receive a healthy dividend from every nation on the planet that has chosen to blatantly plunder its intellectual property. Establishing the foundations for Western civilization ought to earn you at least a few brownie points, if not something a little more fiscally solid. Much like residuals that are sent out to former sitcom stars, Greece should be able to survive comfortably for the rest of its days. Strangely though, its achievements are rarely recognized. That’s because the rest of the world has a tendency to disparage democracy even as they enjoy its spoils. Winston Churchill claimed that the best argument against democracy with a five-minute conversation with the average voter. He also claimed that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others. Clearly, Winston was trying to haggle over the licensing fee by first talking down the product. He should have simply coughed up and sent a bunch of flowers to the Greek nation with a note that simply read, ‘thanks’. But it’s not just Winston Churchill sinking the boots in to Greece’s greatest export. Giorgio Armani was once quoted as saying that, ‘Jeans represent democracy in fashion.’ I don’t exactly know what that means, but given the acid-wash debacle of 1988 – 1992 (of which I was a victim) it can’t possibly be good. Whether or not Greece remains part of the Eurozone should not be determined by mere economics. If it were up to me, these things would be decid-

which Greece pretty much invented. If you’re going to have an idea, you might as well make it a cracker. And democracy is, if nothing else, an absolute rip-snorter of an idea. In contrast to Australia, Greece can’t rely on vast deposits of mineral wealth to sustain it. But it is responsible for

ed by a European-wide vote, kind of like Eurovision. On second thoughts, I think that this is exactly the kind of intractable problem that should be resolved at Eurovision. Nations who get the least votes should not merely be shamed in a worldwide broadcast to billions of people; they should be relegated out of Europe to another continent. That, I feel, is fair. Given the generally high standard of their entries, Greece would remain securely fixed in the European firmament while Britain and their risible dirge would see them relegated from Europe to Africa or maybe Antarctica and having to do the hard yards to be re-admitted. As it goes for Davis Cup, so it should go for international economics. There is, of course, one other option if you want to restructure your debt: a name change. Businesses do it all the time as a way of hitting the ‘refresh’ button and leaving the past behind. Prince Roger Nelson did it to escape a recording contract he regarded as oppressive. I’m not sure if a country has ever changed its name to an unpronounceable symbol, but ‘the artist formerly known as Greece’ has a definite ring to it. There are heaps of options: you could name it after a Greek philosopher like Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, all of whom have contributed so much to civilized thought. Or, if that doesn’t work, call the joint ‘Westeros’ instead. I don’t mean to make light of such turmoil: these are uncertain times for a great country. You can only hope that someone, somewhere will find a way forward. Best wishes to all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music  Arts  Food

COURTNEY BARNETT: ‘EVERYONE IS THE VOICE OF THEIR GENERATION’ By Neil Walker COURTNEY Barnett is so hot right now. The 27-year-old Northcote based singer-songwriter’s debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit has cracked the Billboard Top 20 in the US and soared to the top of alternative album charts all over the world. No appearances on The Voice Australia or the recently axed Australian Idol shows required. High-profile US news site Salon described Barnett as “the new Bob Dylan”. High praise indeed. But speaking to the singer-songwriter another 1960s iconic touchstone tangentially springs to mind: The Beatles. John Lennon when describing Beatles mania said: “We always called it ‘the eye of the hurricane’ – it was calmer right in the middle.” Barnett sounds calm and relaxed about her newfound success and the glowing reviews and sold-out concerts both here is Australia and the US in the wake of the March release of Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. Speaking to the singer is a little disconcerting. Her speaking voice during our telephone interview is similar to her deadpan half-singing voice. Barnett’s alt-rock alt-rock pop tinged songs are based on “the stuff around me” and “situations I find myself in”. Songs such as Depreston and Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go To The Party are first-person narratives about the minutiae of daily life. That’s not as boring as it sounds. A hastily arranged interview with Barnett on the day it takes place makes it hard to shake a paranoid personal first-personal narrative during the chat: ‘What if this at times awkward conversation – no fault of Barnett’s who is friendly and patient - ends up as part of a future song about an interviewer’s dumb questions?’. Delusional egomania on the interviewer’s part certainly, and thankfully the song title Pedestrian At Best has already been used by Barnett is the lead-off single for the debut album. Frankly, Barnett is so laid back during our chat, it’s doubtful she even noticed the at times pedestrian at best questions. An early question about the music played in the young Barnett’s home when growing up falls a little flat. “My parents didn’t really listen to pop music or the radio or anything like that … they listened to the ABC,” she says. Although her father did listen to jazz legend Miles Davis. Talking about her early days on the music scene – Barnett is no overnight success despite her meteoric rise in the past few months – gleans some better background details though. She was a guitarist in grunge band Rapid Transit who gigged around Melbourne’s less salubrious venues before joining Immigrant Union, a band put together by The Dandy Warhols drummer Brent DeBoer. “Two of the guys that are from that band [Immigrant Union] are my current band members.” As for her solo career, it all began with some songs released on two EPs called I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris and How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose. The 12 songs were

collected onto The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas in late 2013. The EPs were released on Milk! Records, Barnett’s own record label. “I just started out when I released my first EP so I could manage the release from home myself. I posted out a few CDs to people who ordered them and it slowly built into a larger thing as more people told their friends about it.” It’s easy to hear how positive word of mouth spread about Barnett’s music. The likes of History Eraser with its references to The Rolling Stones and The Triffids is nirvana for music geeks and her conversational lyrics make it seem like Barnett is having a friendly chat with the individual listener. Local references to Melbourne and its suburbs definitely make it easier for Australian listeners to hook in to Barnett’s world view but she says there has been no cultural cringe for the songs to overcome on a wider global stage. “I think most of the time people just figure stuff out. You either look on a map and see what Phillip Island is or whatever I’m talking about or you just assume it’s some place … it’s like listening to Lou Reed walking down New York streets and stuff, you just kind of figure it out.” A cheeky suggestion to visit Frankston train station to gather material for a future song about its surrounding mean streets before a planned multi-million-dollar redevelopment is

met with a diplomatic laugh. Another US comparison thrown Barnett’s way is being dubbed “music’s Lena Dunham” by Billboard magazine, due to similar confessional [word] to the Girls TV series creator and star. Depreston’s depiction of Barnett struggling to save money to buy a house in the suburbs has been seized upon as representing her generation being locked out of owning a home thanks to soaring property prices. It’s not a similarity Barnett sees. Dunham has been called “the voice of her generation” after a line in an early episode of Girls saw Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath say “I may be the voice of my generation”. “Everyone is the voice of their generation,” Barnett says. “Everyone speaks of what they know. That’s all I do. I sing about what I do, and what I think, and what I know. I don’t know more than anyone else.” Perhaps not but it hasn’t stopped Barnett becoming that rarest of things - an Australian musician with overseas success. She says the feedback from her peers has been positive and plays down any possibility of a backlash. “Most of my friends are musicians and we all kind of keep in touch about everything. It’s great. I love seeing my friends’ bands … it’s great seeing people being successful.” Live performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy

Fallon is not something most Aussie musicians contemplate. Barnett seems unfazed by the big buzz fuss. “It was great. It’s a bit crazy and surreal doing a big TV thing like that … it was fun. It’s just always a bit wild, you don’t always know what’s happening. “It’s just a bit mind boggling but yeah, it’s great. I just love that so many people connect with the songs. That’s what it comes down to.” It’s been a bit of a whirlwind in the eye of the hurricane and Barnett recalls meeting a musical hero in Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy as a personal highlight along the way. “He’s awesome. A legend.” Barnett says she hasn’t really mapped out her solo career. “Everything is just a small step in the next direction. I don’t really have any landmarks … it’s all been great.” Future ambitions are very low key. “I dunno… just, um, I dunno, get older, see more things, make more things, travel a bit more, spend some time with my mum and dad, keep being artistic.” Barnett also dabbles in visual art (“A lot of drawing, starting to paint and photography.”). “It’s just seeing what it’s all about.” Who’s to say she won’t find similar success in other artistic fields whether she sits and thinks or just sits? Tomorrow never knows. Southern Peninsula News 14 July 2015

Panthers pounce on Magpies NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE leapfrogged Crib Point on the MPNFL Nepean Division ladder on Saturday after coming from behind to earn a 17 point victory. The Magpies, who played in a grand final against Sorrento last year, are now second bottom on the ladder with just two wins for the season. The Pies led by 18 points at three quarter time on Saturday after booting six goals to one in the third, however, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustain the momentum in the last. Pearcedale, through the likes of Michael Williams, who played his best game for the season with four goals, snagged five goals to one behind in the last to win 12.14 (86) to 10.9 (69). Dylan Hoare and Pat Heijden (three goals) were also at their best for the Panthers, while Ben Mitchell controlled the ruck. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a disastrous season for Crib Point. Magpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Duane Annable said everything that could have gone wrong has so for the Pies in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2014, we had a dream run with injuries and we were able to win the close ones,â&#x20AC;? said Annable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the same luck. We had a number of players have surgery at the end of the season and we had players injured in the pre-season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really important players last season have rarely been sighted this season. In this competition when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so competitive, you need to have everything going your way. For us this season, that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the case,â&#x20AC;? said Annable. Brad Davidson was at his best for the Pies on Saturday, as was Brad Arnold. Luke Herrington was also solid with three goals. Keegan Downie and Tom Baker booted 10 goals each as Rosebud inflicted yet another 200-point loss on Tyabb. The Buds took advantage of the opportunity to rest some stars with niggling injuries, however, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent the 33.21 (219) to 2.7 (19) victory. Jackson Cox and James Cottrell were the best of the Yabbies. Yabbies have five-year plan Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all bad news for Tyabb though, who have launched their five-year-plan to rebuild their struggling club. Vice President Robert Hansen announced that some past player legends, including former AFL player and Yabbiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; premiership player Jamie Duursma, as well as premiership coach Eddie Fischer, were setting up a coterie group to assist with fundraising. Former player and MPNFL CEO Steve Pallas is also supporting the club through Sport Community. Hansen said being competitive in this competition wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all about the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football clubs are about the community, getting people involved, former players supporting their club,â&#x20AC;? said Hansen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tyabb Football Club has had too few doing all of the work for too long and this has to change. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very frustrating for us to go to other clubs and see the level of support they have from people around their club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to operate as a country footy club. We need to become a business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To help us achieve this, we have appointed a part-time general manager, who will manage all on-field and off-field matters. We plan to make this a full-time role sooner rather than later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are absolutely committed to improving, staying in the MPNFL and being more competitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no interest in joining any other league and this has never been a consideration for our club.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

MPNFL taken over by AFL South East Commission By Toe Punt THE AFL South East Commission official took over the MPNFL in a caretaker role last week after the clubs voted at a Special General Meeting. Following a notice of “noconfidence” and the subsequent resignation of the entire MPNFL Board last week, member clubs approved a motion put forward to install the AFL South East Commission as the league’s caretaker governing body until the next Annual General Meeting. Member clubs also approved motions directing the commission to undertake immediate reviews into the governance, administration, finances

and rules of the MPNFL. The respective reviews, due for completion by early October 2015, will involve in-depth consultation and open reporting with all stakeholders including (and most importantly) the clubs. The working party for the respective reviews will involve key management staff from AFL Victoria and AFL Legal, as well as Commissioners and local stakeholders. AFL South East Commission chairman Roger Hampson said the move by the member clubs of the MPNFL is a watershed moment for the league. “The clubs have expressed their

collective desire for change and they now have the chance to be part of that conversation in the framework of these reviews. “The Commission will provide the governance and administrative function under MPNFL rules until the Annual General Meeting, allowing recommendations emanating from the reviews to be discussed and adopted. This is truly a watershed moment, providing member clubs with the opportunity for significant input into the future structure.” While the commission will oversee the governance function, the administration of the league will be overseen by AFL South East’s region

general manager Jeremy Bourke. The current MPNFL administrative staff will remain in place until the completion of the administrative review, which will determine that structure under a regional administration framework. Following the adoption of motions at the SGM, Roger Hampson announced that the first order of business was to conduct a full financial audit to ascertain the league’s current position. Former Western Bulldogs and AFL Victoria financial controller Stephen Smith will start work on this process from July 13 and report to Commission Audit Committee chair and former Edithvale-Aspendale president Ted

Turner. “It is important to stress that AFL South East are committed to the maintenance of the identity, independence and history of the MPNFL,” said Hampson. “The league is one of the most prestigious in Victoria with a proud history of playing strength, community engagement and leadership. “All decisions concerning the future direction of the league will be done in full consultation with the clubs and will be done with respect to that prestige and history, but with a firm focus on the long-term sustainability of the league and its clubs.”

Langwarrin’s season over PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN’S season came to an end in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Saturday when it was beaten by Edithvale-Aspendale in a thriller. The Kangas (sixth) are now two games behind the Eagles (fifth) and need to produce a miracle in the final seven games of the year to make finals. The reality is that the Kangaroos don’t deserve to play finals. The opportunity was there before them on Saturday and they blew it. Despite having 10 more clearances and eight more inside 50m entries, the home side trailed for the majority of the afternoon. Langwarrin led by seven points at quarter time but were blown out of the water by a more hungry, desperate, committed and disciplined EdithvaleAspendale side in the second quarter. The Eagles booted five goals to two for the term and set up the win. Langwarrin hit the front with five minutes left in the match when Nick Hammill slotted one through, however, a crucial turnover inside Langwarrin’s 50m arc resulted in Eagles’ star Brad Tagg getting on the end of it and running into an open goal at the other end to reclaim the lead. The home side dominated the final three minutes of the match but poor ball movement and a lack of urgency allowed the Eagles to get numbers back and cramp the Kangas’ forwards. When the game was there to be won, Edithvale-Aspendale had more players who were committed to getting the

four points. Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg, Matthew Clark, Mark Mullins and Stevey Mannix led the charge, while Tim Mavric, in his first game back for three months after suffering a neck injury, dominated in the last quarter. Rikki Johnston was a standout for the Kangaroos. He did everything he

could at both ends to will his side over the line. Shane Patterson also played extremely well across four quarters. Nick Hammill helped his side get back into the match in the second half when he was moved into the ruck. Dale Binks worked hard at the stoppages and Dylan Luxa lifted when the team needed him. Blake Peach was

also tireless. Edithvale coach Graeme Yeats said after the match that it was his leaders who “stood-up” when it mattered. “We have a lot of inexperience in our side and unfortunately, a lot is left to the experienced blokes – they were just fantastic today,” Yeats said immediately after the match.

“O’Hanlon, Clark and Mavric through the middle were great and I thought the defenders in Jason Campbell, Mark Mullens and Steve Mannix led the charge too. Jarrod Garth also worked hard in attack. “It was a classic eight-point game and I thought our boys deserved it. We showed some spirit and fight and that was really pleasing,” said Yeats. A shattered Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said after the game that the more desperate and disciplined side won the match. “Look, we just didn’t follow instruction for long enough. It’s been a problem all season,” said Artico. “When we needed to win the 50/50 ball at critical times, we lost those contests. There just wasn’t enough care and commitment.” Artico said before the match to his players that if they lost the game, they may as well play cards on a Tuesday and Thursday night for the rest of the season. Langwarrin’s football might not improve but its Poker game will. In the only other Peninsula League match on Saturday, Frankston YCW thrashed Chelsea to the tune of 124 points. After leading by just 11 points at quarter time, the Stonecats booted 20 goals to three after the first change. Anthony Bruhn booted six and Ryan Santon and Dave Bodley four each while Kyle Hutchison dominated for the second week in succession. Matt Gardiner and Matt Silva were the best of the Seagulls.
