Panel recommends higher housing limits
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.auAN independent panel has recommended that Kingston Council raise some height limits in its long-awaited housing strategy.
Kingston Council’s housing strategy and neighbourhood character study has been in development for more than five years. The draft strategy was considered by an independent planning panel, which has now released its findings.
In the 2021 draft strategy approved by Kingston Council 77.24 percent of land in the Kingston municipality was zoned “neighbourhood residential”, limiting development to two storeys. The panel recommended zoning small areas of Clayton South, Parkdale and Edithvale as “general residential” instead, raising their height limits to three storeys.
The panel’s report also recommends that council scale back its drafted balcony sizes and tree planting requirements.
Kingston Council will consider mak-
ing the changes at an August meeting. If the proposed changes to the strategy are approved, the planning scheme amendment will then be sent to planning minster Sonya Kilkenny for final approval.
Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said the strategy targeted “key activity centres”.
“As always, we remain committed to ensuring Kingston is well planned, with any future growth centred in and around our key activity centres, close to public transport, shops, and services to allow us to protect the amenity of our neighbourhood streets,” Saab said.
“Thanks to all the members of the community who have participated in this important process up until now, including making submissions. We are looking forward to having a resolution soon and moving forward with our action plan for carefully balancing how we manage population growth in our city.”
The panel’s report read that more changes could be on the way in the future. “Council and the community need to recognise that the current work will not be the last say on housing intensification in Kingston. The work will need to be reviewed in the future and
in all likelihood that review will identify further areas for intensification, and potentially taller development in existing areas identified for intensification, as Melbourne continues to grow and change,” it read.
“Three-storey development including three-storey apartment development has an important role to play in meeting Melbourne’s housing needs and this form of development can sit comfortably next to single storey development if designed well.”

Cash for AFL base ‘great value’ - mayor
KINGSTON mayor Hadi Saab has defended spending $5 million in ratepayer money on a new facility for an AFL club as “great value for money”. Kingston Council has agreed to fork out $5 million towards Hawthorn Football Club’s new Dingley Village training base. In return, the facility will be made available for community use at least 20 hours per week. Saab says that the deal will help council keep up with growing demand for community sport. “Sport participation numbers are booming in our region, with women and girls’ footy leading this, and it’s essential the nec-
essary infrastructure is put in place to not only meet the current demands but also serve the generations to come,” he said. “This project will cost-effectively transform a former landfill into a top-class facility and represents great value for money for our ratepayers. If we were to go it alone on a project of this type, we would be looking at four to five times as much upfront, plus the ongoing expenses.
“Our council is passionate about supporting sport and particularly the participation of women and girls and we are looking forward to seeing the Kennedy Centre project come to frui-
tion.”
Hawthorn FC’s Kennedy Centre is expected to cost around $103 million. The club hopes to move in next year. Kingston Council says that a 30-year funding and community access agreement is in place which “governs the development and use of a new community oval and pavilion at the Hawks’ new Dingley Village headquarters on Tootal Road, to provide shared AFLW and community use.”
The club bought the 28 hectare site in 2016.
AI use in schools researched
A MENTONE teacher has won a $15,000 grant to undertake research on the integration of artificial intelligence into English classes.
Bridget Forster is a VCE literature teacher at Mentone Girls Grammar. She has been handed $15,000 through the Reading Australia Fellowship to complete a project in the education sector.
The project will see AI generated texts used to interrogate the idea of an “Australian literary voice”. Her research will look into biases and ethical issues associated with the use of AI in schools.
Forster says her project will “explore the fate of the Australian written voice in the age of AI generated texts.”
“The wide adoption of AI Large Language Models such as ChatGPT in Australia changes the tone, rhythm, and language of our communications, diluting our rich and distinct Australian voice. My research will explore approaches to AI Large Language Models in the English classroom, covering issues of identity, creativity, and ethics,” she said. “This project is important to me because I see Australian stories as important in both negotiating and affirming personal and cultural identity. Moreover, it is crucial that we equip our students to navigate the evolving AI-powered information landscape critically and ethically.”
Forster hopes to share the research next year.

level crossings on the Frankston Line
Hard rubbish program expanded
HARD waste pickups can now be booked ondemand with Kingston Council.
The new system will allow Kingston residents to book two free hard waste collections a year whenever they please. Previously, Kingston Council would collect hard rubbish once per year. E-waste, white goods, furniture, and mattresses can be disposed of in hard waste.
Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said the expansion of hard waste pickups was a response to resident demand. “Our community expressed a strong desire for more flexibility and the new service has been developed to meet this clear need,” he said.
“While the hard waste disposal and recycling guidelines aren’t changing, we believe that expanding and tailoring the service will reduce the instances of illegal dumping across our city. In turn less waste will be sent to landfills and recycling will increase. While most people have traditionally done the right thing, we have seen an alarming increase in dumping in recent years, with the cost to ratepayers now well over $200,000 each year.
“The change to the hard waste service is part of significant work being done around waste, recycling and resource recovery, with a view to improving sustainability and promoting better environmental outcomes.”
Items prohibited from hard waste collection include building and renovation materials, car tyres, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint, and soil and garden waste
To book a hard waste collection call 1300 653 356 or visit kingston.vic.gov.au/services/rubbish-and-recycling/hard-waste

Battery build next year
CONSTRUCTION on the planned community battery in Carrum Downs is expected to begin next year.
The battery will be installed by United Energy, which was handed a $500,000 grant from the federal government to undertake the project. It says construction on the 120kW/360kWh battery begins next year, and that it will be operational by early 2025.
United Energy electricity networks general manager Mark Clarke said the battery would produce enough power to supply 23 average Australian homes for 12 months.
“The battery will help keep locally generated solar power local,” he said. “It will allow more homes and businesses to connect and export excess solar from their systems back into the grid, where it can be stored and used at peak times when it’s needed most. The additional solar export capacity created by this battery can displace electricity from the wider grid and reduce carbon emissions by 101 tonnes each year, which is about the same as taking 23 cars off the road.
“Traditionally, we would upgrade or replace power infrastructure to support higher growth, now we are also using batteries as another option to help to reduce costs for all customers. We expect community and neighbour-
hood-scale batteries will become more common on our networks in the future to ensure we help deliver the targeted levels of 95 percent renewable energy generation by 2035.”
Water bills set to rise soon
BILLS from South East Water are expected to increase this financial year.
South East Water has announced changes to its billing system, which are expected to increase the average cost of a household bill by nearly three per cent.
South East Water is removing its fixed sewage disposal charge, and incorporating its sewage disposal into a new water usage tariff. The change is effective from 1 July.
South East Water managing director Lara Olsen said the change would make billing “simpler” for customers, “making it easier for them to budget, and continuing our digital metering rollout across the south-east.”
“Our digital metering rollout is one of the largest in Australia and provides customers with the ability to securely monitor water use and identify potential leaks. With over 90,000 meters installed so far, this has saved our customers almost 800 million litres of drinking water and over $3.3 million off bills,” she said.
A FRESH NEW LOOK AT MPRG
THE penisula’s iconic Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery has a fresh new look. The main foyer space has recently been revamped with a new visitor desk and polished concrete floors and they’ve launched a new gallery store.
The MPRG store sells a range of local artisan jewellery, ceramics and art as well as books, cards and other gifts. Each year they support a local artist by commissioning a limited edition print. So far, they’ve got prints available by artists Mike Green and Rosie Weiss.
Tickets are now on sale for the highly anticipated Archibald Prize 2023 at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery (MPRG), the exclusive Victorian destination for the popular event. Timed entry, flexible entry or open late Friday night tickets are now available. The gallery precinct will be buzzing with food and beverages from peninsula culinary icons, live music, exhibition tours, artist talks and more.
The Archibald Prize 2023 will bring tens of thousands of visitors to the Mornington
Peninsula to enjoy the works on display and the immersive program of events and art experiences. The exhibition will be on display at MPRG 15 September – 5 November.
Currently, MPRG is showcasing three fantastic winter exhibitions. Celebrated local artist Vera Möller’s sea.liquid.sensation.flux.space is a large-scale solo exhibition that brings together new small and large-scale works, including drawings and watercolours, collages, objects and paintings.
MPRG presents Michael Cook’s Invasion series, that were donated by the artist in 2021. Invasion places an imaginative eye on Australian colonial history and turns around the dominant view, taking alien creatures into iconic London-based cityscapes, with white urban residents their victims.

Police patrol with Brodie Cowburn
Retirement village worker attacked
A STAFF member at an Aspendale Gardens retirement village was punched in the head during an alleged attack last week.
Police say an unknown man entered the Aspendale Gardens facility at around 7.30am on 6 July. He was approached by a staff member in an upstairs bin room, where the alleged assault took place.
The victim, a 27-year-old woman, was punched in the face and upper body. The offender also grabbed the victim by the arms during the attack. She was left with bruising and
scratches.
The alleged offender fled using the Wells Road exit. Police are now on the hunt for him.
Police say the offender was “Asian in appearance, aged in his late 20s and spoke with an accent.” CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to (below) have been released.
Anyone who recognises the man in the image can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au to assist with the investigation.
Car crashed into house
A FRANKSTON teenager was one of two people arrested for allegedly crashing a car into a house in Highett last week.
Nobody was injured when the car crashed through the wall in the early hours of 6 July.
Police say they spotted a car running a red light in Dandenong at around 1.35am that morning. The police helicopter helped track the car through Braeside, Dingley Village, Moorabbin, Hampton East, and Cheltenham.
Police deployed stop sticks at Bay Road and Mernda Avenue in Cheltenham. After that the car continued on before crashing into a house on Karen Street in Highett.
A 14-year-old Frankston boy and a 13-year-old Hampton East boy were arrested at the scene.
Frankston high-rise plans hit a wall
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.auPLANS for high-rise developments along Nepean Highway in Frankston have hit a major snag after a sudden decision by the state government’s planning minister.
Plans to build multi-storey apartments in the area bordered by Nepean Highway, Beach Street, Wells Street, and Kananook Creek Boulevard have been protested throughout the year. Proposals for a 16-storey building at 438-444 Nepean Highway and a 14-storey building at 446-450 Nepean Highway are currently before VCAT for consideration.
Planning minister Sonya Kilkenny intervened in the matter last week - she approved interim planning controls which will limit development within the Nepean Highway, Beach Street, Wells Street, and Kananook Creek Boulevard precinct to just three storeys. Proposed planning controls recently included in Frankston Council’s FMAC structure plan and sent to the planning minister for approval outline preferred building heights of up to 12 storeys in that area.
In her published justification for the intervention, Kilkenny said “without this amendment being exempted from the usual process, development may be permitted which is highly likely to compromise the orderly planning of this part of Frankston in circumstances where authorisation of amendment C160fran [the FMAC structure plan] has been sought.”
“Approval of development that is
inconsistent with proposed built form controls before this statutory process occurs would be highly likely to jeopardise the aims of proposed amendment C160fran before it can be considered,” she wrote.
The interim planning controls are active until 27 October.
Opposers to the proposed Nepean Highway development plans have labelled them the “Great Wall of Frankston”. A petition protesting their construction has garnered nearly 5000 signatures.
One of the petition’s supporters, Kananook Creek Association spokesman Rob Thurley, said that he was “delighted to hear of the minister’s intervention”.
“We are very concerned about the FMAC structure plan going on with the nonsense of preferred heights. The minister has intervened to set mandatory heights so it’s clearly not correct,” Thurley said. “The majority of the community are very concerned about a great wall on the waterfront. The council never had a mandate to build this obscene structure.”
The planning changes announced last Wednesday, 5 July, came as a surprise to many. The gazetted change was announced in the middle of a VCAT hearing considering a high-rise proposal within the affected precinct.
The interim changes were not publicly exhibited before they were approved. Specific questions about the process sent to Kilkenny by The News were not directly answered by the planning minister.
The interim mandatory three-storey
height limit is very different to the wishes of Frankston Council, which just last month voted to approve preferred height limits of 41 metres in the affected precinct. The preferred height limits were contained in the FMAC structure plan, which is now being considered by the planning minister after a lengthy process.
Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said that council is seeking more information on Kilkenny’s decision.
“We eagerly await a thorough understanding of the rationale behind the Victorian government’s introduction of the interim planning controls, announced by minister Kilkenny over part of the FMAC structure plan area, and what implications they may have for the future authorisation of the FMAC structure plan,” he said.
“The FMAC structure plan provides clear guidance on land use, building design, transport outcomes, housing and accommodation. It unlocks new development, facilitates redevelopment, creating valuable employment opportunities, all while protecting our natural assets. This clarity is crucial in the current economic climate, marked by rising interest rates, mounting living costs and the severe shortage of housing stock within a national housing crisis. Our plan will significantly increase housing supply, aligning with the priorities of both the Victorian and Australian governments, capitalising on the remarkable interest shown by the private sector in Frankston and its future.
“We urge the prompt progression of planning scheme amendment C160fra [the FMAC structure plan] to ensure the best possible outcomes for our community. The momentum is here now, let’s get on with it.”
Kananook Creek Association spokesman Rob Thurley says that Frankston Council must consider the value of Kananook Creek and the beach alongside the need for housing. “The waterfront is a major asset, and it is not there or be plundered for a current priority,” he said. “The government has clearly got a problem with providing adequate hous-
ing. But you don’t throw away your most valuable asset which should be protected forever on the basis that you’ve got some current problem which can be resolved at other sites around Frankston. This is not the only site available for residential development.
“The FMAC structure plan is for generations that haven’t been born yet, it’s very important that this council considers that just as much as the current housing crisis.”
Urban DC, the developer of the 446-450 Nepean Highway proposal, was contacted for comment.

Compiled by Cameron McCullough
MR. J. D. Jennings (president of the Frankston Progress Association), and Mr. J. Bradbury, jun., waited on the Council last Friday in support of the proposal of the Progress Association to place bowling greens and tennis courts on the road reserve alongside Mornington road on the town side of The Fernery.
Mr. Jennings said the scheme, if given effect to would supply a longfelt want.
The site chosen was a good one, and the bowling greens would be a great asset to the town.
Mr. Bradbury said the plans, drawn by an architect, were before the council and conveyed an idea of the scheme proposed.
The Progress Association proposed to carry out the work.
If the council decided to run the scheme as a municipal concern it would be for the council to say how the money should be found.
Seeing that the council was short of money, they would no doubt prefer the Progress Association to carry the financial responsibility.
The Progress Association would construct the greens and courts, but it was necessary to obtain the consent of the Country Roads Board to the use of the ground.
They would like to go to the Board supported by the council. The greens and courts would be run for the benefit of residents and visitors.
Cr. Gray asked if it was proposed to fence in the greens and tennis courts.
Mr. Bradbury: I advise a ti-tree hedge as a protection from dust.
Cr. Alden: Would the greens and
courts be open to the public?
Mr. Bradbury: Yes.
Cr. Jones: It is for the benefit of Frankston. The council’s consent should be given to the Progress Association, who would run it as a club.
Cr. Longmuir: There is no scheme. We don’t know how they are going to run it.
Mr. Bradbury: It will be run on the same lines at the greens at St. Kilda and other places. The greens and courts will be open to the public who will pay a certain charge per game.
Cr. Alden: I move that this council offers no objection.
Cr. Oates seconded. He said he advocated this spot for a bowling green when the other agitation was on.
Cr. Mason said the site was not suitable. The scheme should be carried out on the reserve occupied by the Pier Tea House.
Cr. Walker spoke in favor of the motion. The site proposed was most suitable and the hill at the back could be beautified and transformed into an ideal place.
The foreshore reserve opposite should be put down in lawns, as was done in other famous seaside resorts.
Cr. Gray favored the motion. He asked if people would have access to the hill without payment.
Mr. Jennings said the hill would be terraced and provided with seating accommodation.
The public would have free access to same, also to the lawns and courts. They would only pay when they played games, the same as people did in a billiard room.
Cr. Gray wanted to make certain that the pathway from William street would not be blocked.
Mr. Bradbury: The plan shows that a zig-zag path will be taken down from William street for the use of the public.
Cr. Gerrand congratulated the Progress Association on being game enough to tackle such a big job without the assistance of the council. It was a citizens job designed for the benefit of citizens. He wished the Progress Association every success.
Cr. Wells also spoke in support.
Cr. Jones: It is the best thing that ever happened to Frankston.
It was decided that a deputation from the Council and Progress Association wait on the Country Roads Board on Thursday next, 12th Inst., at 2.30 p.m.
Cr. Mason said that one point had been overlooked, and that was the possibility of the reserve in question being required for other purposes.
There was a strong movement on foot to secure an electric tramway between Frankston and Mornington. It would be an accomplished fact before many more years, and when it came the road reserve would be required for the tram line. It would be well to provide for such a contingency.
The motion was carried, and the president congratulated the Progress Association on the forward move it was making for the benefit of the town. ***
MISS Ethel O’Grady is at present the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. N. R. Utber, of Frankston. ***
MISS O’Grady, who has just concluded a tour of Japan, China and India, has many friends in Frankston. ***
MR. W. Stott, who recently underwent an operation in Dr. Maxwell’s private
PUZZLE ZONE
hospital, is progressing favorably. ***
MR. J. Martin, of Seaford, who was thrown from his vehicle while driving to church last Sunday week, fortunately suffered no ill effects beyond a severe shaking. He was able to attend church as usual last Sunday, but this time he came in a motor car. ***
A MEETING of the Frankston High School committee was held on Wednesday night last when concern was expressed concerning the rumors that were abroad concerning the likelihood of Frankston losing the High School after all.
Dr. Maxwell, who occupied the chair, emphasised the need for continued activity on the part of the committee. “If we don’t ask we won’t get.” His remarks were applauded.
There was a large attendance, including Mr. A. Bailey, vice-president; Mesdames Rogerson, James, Amor, Morris, Lewis, Cr. Wells, Cr. Gray, Messrs. Wheeler (treasurer), Legge, Bartlett, A. B. Morris, James, Jennings, Wright, Lind, and W. C. Young (acting secretary).
Apology was received from Mr. L. J. Ward. A visitor to the meeting was Cr. Oates.
Great enthusiasm characterised the proceedings, and it was evident that the good old fighting spirit evinced in the past is still burning brightly.
It was as the result of the meeting that Crs. Wells and Gray took an early train to Melbourne yesterday morning with a determination to secure an interview With Sir Alexander Peacock.
They succeeded. Cr. Gray is an old friend of Sir Alex., and it was a case
of “Charlie” this, and “Charlie” that when they met.
The outcome was that Crs. Gray and Wells were able to arrange with Sir Alex. to receive a deputation from Frankston later in the day.
Hon. A. Downward was unable to be present owing to a prior engagement.
At 3.30 yesterday afternoon the following deputation was received by the Minister: Crs. Gray, Wells, Oates, Longmuir, Alden, Messrs. Bradbury and W. C. Young.
The Minister: Well, what is it you want; the site question, I suppose?
Cr. Gray: No, Sir Alex.; not the site; we understand that is settled.
We want to know when you are going to start building the High School at Frankston?
The Minister: Oh; that’s it. Well, let us see where we are.
The outcome was that the Minister stated emphatically that the question of site was definitely settled. The school would be built on three acres.
He had agreed on that point with the Minister of Lands. There was some talk of a committee being appointed to govern the remaining 10 acres.
Sir Alex. did not know much about that, but it was a detail that could be settled later.
Cr. Gray: We can then take it that we have your definite assurance that the school will be built at Frankston?
Sir Alex. replied in the affirmative –the only thing that might block it was in the event of the Government being turned out of office. (Laughter). The deputation retired well pleased with their interview. ***

leads to waste of paramedics’ time
Having recently attended a large public hospital with my husband, an elderly man who had fallen at home, I observed the practice of [ambulance] “ramping” firsthand.
On arrival, he had to wait three to four hours in a corridor of the emergency department. While he did, our two very nice and caring paramedics looked after him (and me), but there were 20 to 30 paramedics crowded in the corridor for hours doing the same for their patients. We were waiting for triage or something.
None of the patients seemed to require close attention, hence the ambulance workers were often chatting to one another, understandably.
It just seemed like a terrible waste of their precious time as they could have been attending other people in need who were not at the hospital.
All we needed were two to four nurses to walk up and down the long line, checking anybody in need of care - approximately 10 to 15 people. Instead, there were 20 to 30 paramedics standing around most of the time.
Talking to them they spoke of 14-15 hour shifts they frequently worked. This seemed annoying for them and unproductive when considering what I had observed for several hours and, after APOT (Ambulance Patient Offload Time), a program introduced to improve patient transfer times has already been established, the funding for this program has just been officially axed.
and after an appeal at VCAT had commenced by residents.
The Andrews government will introduce new planning laws so that high-rise developments will only occur in the inner and middle suburbs and not in outer suburbs such as Frankston, which will mean more traffic congestion in these suburbs and pollution.
Frankston needs a larger population to create more business and local employment and investment.
The 500 space car park at Frankston station has now commenced, which can cater for the bigger population.
The rail line will connect to the Metro loop and airport rail when completed, which will mean that tourists will visit Frankston.
The minister has made her decision based on the self-interest of residents near Frankston beach and not what is the best interest of the broader Frankston revitalisation plans.
A planning minister should not have the power to make an application to VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal) after an appeal has commenced.
Russell Morse, KaringalYes, nothing to fear
There is nothing to be confused about. We have not admitted to the wrongs. But we continue to deny them. It’s just advice they want to give the government, not an insurrection.
Reparations to descendants of the stolen generations has begun in most states.
It is the beginning of a settlement from an era of race-based policies. What do we have to lose? Let’s give it a go. At least try to right that wrong.
Anne Kruger, RyeA fair Australia
So we’re having another referendum
And they’re giving us the choice
Do we really want a fair Australia?
They’re calling it The Voice.
It’s just like in 1999
We all know what we oughta
But there’s heaps of misinformation
So they’re muddying the water.
So if you’re in a quandry
But you wish to take your part
See to your own education
And read The Statement from the Heart
James Carr, McCraeMP declines
People who live on the Mornington Peninsula deserve to be informed about both sides of the debate about an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. This will ensure we make an informed decision before we vote in the referendum.
asked for equality.
It’s not the 60s and high time for Australia to catch up with so many other nations that have made treaties with their First Nations people. Are the conservatives here on the Mornington Peninsula so misguided by their masters in the federal sphere, that they just follow them blindly? Or are they really as heartless as they come across in their rants?
I will vote Yes in the upcoming referendum and hope a majority of peninsula residents will also do so, because that’s the least we can do for our First Nations brothers and sisters.
Rupert Steiner. Balnarring BeachNo’ to cows’ milk
Crossbench MP Sophie Scamps is hoping to introduce a Healthy Kids Advertising Bill into federal parliament aimed at combating childhood obesity by banning advertising to kids of “unhealthy foods”. Dr Scamps, a former GP and emergency room doctor, says childhood obesity costs the healthcare system around $11.8 billion a year. The AMA has identified obesity as “the biggest public health challenge facing Australia”. According to the latest figures from the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare, a quarter of Australian children and almost two-thirds of Australian adults are obese or overweight.
This is an important initiative and needs to be extended to one of the most dangerous foods given to kids – milk from cows.
Mary Lane, MorningtonWhat is going on? It is all beyond my understanding.
High rise needed
With the shortage of housing crisis, we have the Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny limiting height to three storeys after the Frankston Council approved a development in Nepean Highway
If the Voice becomes a reality, we as a nation lose nothing. We took First Nations peoples land and poisoned their lives with alcohol. They die years before us; their children die before they are five. Just ask yourselves: what do we have to lose if we listen and do things better the way they know will help their people thrive and, more importantly, survive?
We must admit what happened in the past, that we invaded and destroyed them, then tried - with the stolen generations - to breed them out.
According to [former senator and High Commissioner to the UK] George Brandis: “If this is to be an authentic national debate, both sides must be heard.” I agree. So, I invited Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie to a respectful public discussion about the forthcoming referendum.
Unfortunately, Ms McKenzie declined my invitation. Sarah Russell, Mount Martha

The incessant scare mongering in matters of constitutional change is getting a bit tiresome. It feels like Alabama in the 1960s when American Blacks
THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Internationally recognised teacher and speaker on diet and health Dr Michael Klaper warns that the purpose of cow’s milk is to turn a 30kg calf into a 300kg cow as rapidly as possible. “Cow’s milk is baby calf growth fluid.”
Feeding dairy to our kids is like putting rocket fuel in your car – it cannot end well. And to get that milk, cows suffer a wretched life of continual artificial insemination, followed by the agony of seeing their baby torn away every year of their short lives, until they are so worn out that they are slaughtered and turned into dog food. Just so dairy companies can sell the milk she made for her calf.
Desmond Bellamy, PETA AustraliaOctagon Nerdfest! When Elon Fought the Zuckerberg
By Stuart McCulloughI GUESS I don’t understand technology. By which, I don’t mean I struggle with the buttons on the microwave or routinely slather white-out across my computer monitor; I mean I don’t really get big tech. And when I say ‘big tech’, I’m not referring to my refrigerator (despite its ample dimensions) but organisations that are so large and powerful that they generate an embarrassing level of revenue, the quantum of which is more readily associated with a sovereign state than a company.
But as puzzling as these gargantuan organisations may be, more bewildering still are the strange and curious individuals who run these corporate behemoths. I speak, of course, of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
Elon Musk is a busy guy with lots of jobs. One of those jobs is running ‘Tesla’ – which, for those of you who may be unfamiliar, is the thinking person’s Toyota Corolla. His objective in that job is to create something you can drive. He also runs ‘Twitter’, which is something that he also drives, albeit into the ground in some kind of bizarre and inexplicable death-wish.
When Elon’s not busy running Tesla and Twitter, he runs ‘Space X’, which is possibly the only private space service fuelled by a Queensland beer. Apparently, Space XXXX (as it was originally known) runs on lager because it’s cheaper than lithium and preferable to anyone having to drink the stuff.
Mark Zuckerberg used to run ‘Facebook’ before it was rebranded as ‘meta’ in what I can only assume was internally described as something of a ‘Facebook-lift’. Meta also runs Instagram and WhatsApp so Mark knows
everywhere you’ve been, every restaurant meal you’ve ever eaten and what you’re thinking. In the ultimate act of irony, Mark is also really into virtual reality, perhaps unaware that the real thing is already freely available.
These two men are enormously wealthy. And yet, for reasons that are
unknown to most of us, these two strange dudes have decided to cage fight each other.
I don’t know much about big technology, except that it’s threatening existence as we know it. I know even less about cage fighting. Mixed martial arts has always been a mystery to me, but
I assume there are exponents who are very good at it. In contrast, I strongly suspect that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are coming to the octagon with high hopes rather than anything in the way of actual expertise. It's madness. While it’s not nice to remark on anyone’s physical appearance, I feel it’s necessary in circumstances as extreme as these. Firstly to Elon – you have the physique of a bowl of porridge. However it is you’ve been spending your time, it’s safe to say that it hasn’t been spent getting into shape, unless the shape in question is an oblong. Granted, your custard guts may well absorb all the kicks, karate chops and nookies your adversary might see fit to dispense, but I fear you’ll have the endurance of a wet rice cracker.
As for Mark, I can only reiterate that reality and virtual reality are not the same thing. The former has real physical consequences. It’ll be obvious if he’s confused the two – it’s rare that someone steps into the octagon wearing a giant VR headset. ‘Oculus’ and ‘octagon’ are not interchangeable terms. I appreciate that you’ve taken up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (the finer details of which are best left to the imagination). I even respect that you’ve been training with Mikey Musumeci – a man who (like myself) has been described as a world champion in ‘submission grappling’.
But, Mark, the fact is that you look like a pencil with an eraser on top. To be clear, that’s not a good thing. You can’t go around challenging people to a bout in the octagon if you look like a human cotton bud. Besides, what would happen in the unlikely event that Elon Musk caught you and you
were injured? For starters, Beaker from The Muppets would suddenly be without his stunt double. The world simply can’t afford to take that kind of risk.
Not that anyone would know. Even if you lose horribly because you tripped over and Elon got his sausage fingers on your slender frame, you have access to a platform that excels at misinformation that could easily cover it up. But that’s hardly the point. The whole billionaire cage match idea is so passé; ever since Warren Buffet gave Jeffrey Bezos what has been described as the ‘greatest atomic wedgie of the twentieth century’ during the famous mudwrestling slap-down of ’97.
If this thing does go ahead, there’ll need to be an undercard, other billionaires lining up to do battle before the main event. The night would open with Bill Gates versus Charles Koch, each armed only with a ruler and a compass, doing battle in a pit of jelly. That would be followed up by Richard Branson against Kylie Jenner in a jousting contest. Eventually, Elon and Mark would emerge before stepping into the octagon.
Ultimately, it’s hard not to think that they should each have something better to do. Something more (I’m looking for the right word) …..useful. Maybe they plan to donate the proceeds to charity. But while they’re busy ‘submission grappling’ or subjecting each other to the firmest of squirrel grips, the world that they’ve helped create longs for a day where they use their abundant talents for good instead of evil.

Malgioglio, Pines create history
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzieHA
YLEYMalgioglio became the first woman in local football to coach a senior men’s club in a league match last weekend when she took over the reins at Frankston Pines.
The 24-year-old former Young Matilda took on the role of player-coach of Pines’ women’s team last October and in March was also appointed assistant to Trevor Johnston in the senior men’s program.
She remained in that role after Johnston resigned and was replaced by Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor in early May.
Taylor is recovering from back surgery so Malgioglio will remain at the helm for the next few weeks.
“It’s not the first time I’ve taken the first team as I was the coach in an FA Cup match against St Albans,” she said.
Malgioglio has a degree in physical education and sport science.
She trains with the senior squad and organises the warm-ups and shooting and passing drills.
When she’s not involved with the men’s squad she trains and plays for the women’s team which already has established itself in State 4 in its inaugural season.
She had high hopes of getting her caretaker men’s role off to a flyer but things didn’t go to script and Pines went down 2-1 to Mooroolbark at Esther Park.
American import Nic Santhiago scored for Pines with a superb freekick.
In another State 2 match last weekend Skye United can count itself unlucky not to have taken a prized scalp when having to settle for a 2-2 draw with title aspirant Mazenod at Brandon Park Reserve.
Mazenod took the lead in the second half but Skye veteran Mark O’Connor levelled in the 69th minute when the ball fell to him just inside the box.
Leo McLeod was causing problems for Mazenod and his good work was finished off by Jason Nowakowski to give the visitors a 2-1 lead in the 78th minute.
A stunning strike from outside the box three minutes later tied scores again and with both sides pushing for the winner O’Connor came closest with a free-kick that hit the post in the dying minutes.
On Sunday Peninsula Strikers lost 4-3 to North Caulfield at Caulfield Park after giving up a 3-1 lead.
Michail Schneider was the star of the show for the home team with a hattrick while Cooper Andrews, Campbell
Steedman and Callum Bradbury scored for Strikers.
In NPL2 Langwarrin gave up a two-goal lead to go down 3-2 at home against Dandenong City in a frenetic finale to Saturday’s contest.
A brilliant turn and a pinpoint strike curled inside the far post by Archie Macphee had home fans up and about after 12 minutes.
Macphee doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute after a Tom Youngs free-kick was handled.
But the visitors exposed Langy’s Achilles heel in the second half scoring three times from balls played in the air into the home side’s penalty box.
Damien Iaconis hammered home a rebound after Langy couldn’t clear a near post corner a few minutes after the break and scores were level in the 83rd minute when former Langy favourite John Kuol headed a ball back into the goalmouth for Riley Bidois to head home.
Three minutes into injury time Langwarrin keeper James Burgess inexplicably flapped at Jacob Alexander’s free-kick and the ball ended up in the back of his net sending visiting fans into raptures.
In State 1 Mornington easily accounted for Springvale White Eagles 3-0 on Saturday in a match switched from Dallas Brooks Park to Centenary Park.
In a scrappy affair the pivotal moment came just before half-time when

White Eagles had a strong appeal for a penalty turned down only for Mornington to hit back immediately with Rory Currie expertly tucking the ball away.
The second half saw Adam Jamieson’s men take over and deservedly ran out 3-0 winners with Adam Hester and substitute Kane Bentley scoring from well-worked moves.
In State 4 Somerville Eagles suffered a shock 3-1 loss away to relegationthreatened Keysborough on Saturday evening.
Keysborough striker Felipe Ulloa stole the show with a hat-trick while Somerville’s sole reply came from Tom Simmons.
Meanwhile Baxter got back to winning ways with a comprehensive 5-2 win over Endeavour United at Reema Reserve last weekend.
Baxter’s goals came from Dylan Murchie, Jack Elliott, Aleks Dukic, Daniel Taylor and an own goal.
“It was a good performance against a tough opponent and the boys dug deep and got stuck in,” Baxter boss Stephen Fisher said.
“We defended well, looked dangerous going forward and scored some great goals from set pieces.”
On Friday night Chelsea broke through for its first win in nine weeks when it defeated visitors FC Noble Hurricanes 2-1.
Two goals in two minutes from Lachlan Davies – an 11th minute header
from an Adrian Pace cross then breaking through onto a long kick downfield from keeper Rhys Davies – had the home side in control.
The Hurricanes reduced the deficit just before half-time when Hadis Masinovic was at the back post to finish off a low cross from the right.
Chelsea could have been in cruise control in the second half but Adam Bartosy and Piers Brelsford missed great chances to put the result beyond doubt.
In State 5 Mount Martha claimed bragging rights over neighbour Mount Eliza with a 2-1 win at Emil Madsen Reserve last weekend.
Two second-half goals in three minutes from Peter Price put the visitors in the driver’s seat.
His first came when he took advantage of indecision in midfield and at the back and his second was set up by Ethan Sanderson who broke on the right then pulled the ball back for Price to hammer home.
Mount Eliza’s replay came from Riley Van Zanden in the 76th minute but player-coach Bryce Ruthven thought his side should have won.
“We played them off the park for 85 minutes and should have put away two clear chances in the first half and about four or five in the second half,” Ruthven said.
Harry McCartney reports that Hampton Park United showed why it
deserved to be top of the league with a convincing 4-0 win over Seaford United at North Seaford Reserve last weekend.
The visitors took an early lead through a Connor McAndrews strike that gave Seaford keeper Hayden Hicks no chance.
They went further ahead in the 25th minute when Ali Hussaini took advantage of an injured Seaford defender to beat the offside trap and convert from a one-on-one with Hicks.
Second-half goals to Aaron Edwards and Josh Caruana put the game to bed.
The win came at a cost though as Shahab Fayazi was shown a straight red for violent conduct in the 75th minute. Mentone enjoyed a 2-1 win against Bunyip at Keysborough Playing Fields with all goals coming in the last 10 minutes.
Bunyip that went ahead in the 80th minute through Liam Lenders following slack play by the Mentone defence. However, the home side equalised two minutes later when a Frankie Varsamis’ shot from the edge of the box found the net.
Mentone pushed for the winner and it came in the 87th minute when James Hilton was rewarded for pressing the Bunyip defence into a mistake then finishing with a right-foot strike.
